North Access Road Bypass near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant; Carlsbad, New Mexico
The Department of Energy, Carlsbad Field Office has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment to consider the potential environmental consequences of the proposed action which is to construct a North Access Road Bypass (NARB), approximately 3 miles in length, near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The purpose of the proposed NARB project is to improve traffic safety and reduce vehicle congestion on the roadway at the location where the traffic slows in order to turn into the area near the WIPP facility parking lot.
