Final Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation
Caltrans has prepared the Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation. The Final EIR/EIS, which includes a response to comments made on the Draft EIR/EIS, is now available to the public.
What is Being Planned?
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to permanently restore a section of highway, known as Last Chance Grade, located on U.S. Highway 101 in Del Norte County (postmiles [PMs] 12.7 to 16.5). Last Chance Grade is a 3.5-mile-long section of highway approximately 10 miles south of Crescent City. The project would permanently restore the highway in response to landslide activities that have created roadway damage and frequent highway closures for decades.

The Final EIR/EIS identifies the effect this project may have on the environment, as well as potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures.
