Summary of Request

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements, an Initial Study has been completed for the Hill Road Bridge over Mill Creek Replacement Project.  The study supports the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).  The attached MND includes the State Clearinghouse review period letter of compliance.  The State Clearinghouse received no comments during the 30-day review period.  A public hearing has been scheduled for October 6, 2020, at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard, to present the findings of the Initial Study and to hear and consider any comments or concerns of the public, prior to adoption of the applicable Mitigated Negative Declaration.  The engineer’s estimated total cost of the project is $2,170, 000.  Project funding is primarily through the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) (88.53%) with the local match being provided through the Toll Credits Program (TCP) (11.47%).
