On Nov. 18, 2016, Sound Transit and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) published the Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), in accordance with the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Final EIS evaluates route and station alternatives, including the preferred alternative identified by the Sound Transit Board in July 2015. It describes potential impacts on the natural and built environment, possible mitigation measures, and responds to public comments received during the Draft EIS comment period, which ended on May 26, 2015. An electronic copy of the Final EIS can be accessed at the links below. Hard copies of the Final EIS are available for $25 and hard copies of the separately bound technical reports are available for $15 each. The Executive Summary and a CD including the Final EIS, appendices, technical reports, and responses to comments received on the Draft EIS are available at no charge. For copies of the Final EIS documents, please contact Erin Green (206-398-5464 or erin.green@soundtransit.org) or Kent Hale (206-398-5103 or kent.hale@soundtransit.org).
