The subject project is a maintenance project, which proposes to resurface various streets in the city of Lafayette in Walker County. These streets include Bradley Avenue, Cedar Street, Crest Drive, Flora Street, Knoll Drive, Steel Street, Thornton Street, Windy Trail, and Wisteria Road. No earthwork will be required for the completion of this project. All construction work would occur within existing right-of-way.
In order to assure compliance with applicable environmental laws, this project was evaluated to determine whether or not compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 was appropriate based on the scope of the projects and the requirements of the law. As specified by the law, "the head of any Federal agency having direct or indirect jurisdiction over a proposed Federal or Federally assisted undertaking in any State and the head of any Federal department or independent agency having authority to license any undertaking shall, prior to the approval of the expenditure of any Federal funds on the undertaking or prior to the issuance of any license, as the case may be, take into account the effect of the undertaking on any district, site, building, structure, or object that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register. The head of any such Federal agency shall afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation established under sections 470i to 470v of this title a reasonable opportunity to comment with regard to such undertaking.
