A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Cross-Base project was issued in May 1998. Since that time, additions to the project at the western terminus have been required to maintain a satisfactory level of service (LOS) on Interstate 5 (I-5). Additionally, the project needed to provide current information to address changes in applicable policies, regulations, or conditions. This Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) updates the DEIS prepared in 1998. Pierce County, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with the City of Lakewood, McChord Air Force Base, Fort Lewis, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, plans to construct a highway to improve transportation system linkage and capacity between mid-Pierce County and destinations along the I-5 corridor. The Cross-Base Highway project would provide a direct route and shorter travel times between residences and employment opportunities in mid-Pierce County and shopping opportunities in Lakewood and DuPont. It would also provide a more direct east-west connection for efficient movement of freight, people, and goods between I-5 (north and south), State Route 7, State Route 161, and the Frederickson, Thun Field, and Sunrise employment centers, saving time and energy.
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
