    Note. This public notice (ArDOT Northwest Arkansas National Airport Access Road) was previously published on June 12, 2023, prior to the proposed ArDOT Springdale Northern Bypass public notice. It should have been published after the Springdale Northern Bypass public notice since the Bypass would serve as the terminus for the Airport Access Road. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S. Code 1344), notice is hereby given that, Arkansas Department of Transportation, PO Box 2261, Little Rock, Arkansas 72203-2261, has requested authorization for work, including the placement of dredged and fill material, in waters of the United States associated with constructing a new highway that will connect the future Springdale Northern Bypass to the Northwest Arkansas National Airport. The proposed project will cross nine streams and two wetlands and is located in sections 4, 9, 14, 15, 16, and 23, T. 18 N., R. 31 W., Benton County, Arkansas. The project purpose is to improve access from the future Springdale Northern Bypass (SNB) to the Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA). As the population increases in Northwest Arkansas, demand at XNA has increased for both passenger and freight flights. The proposed project would provide an improved connection between XNA and the SNB that reduces congestion and increases reliability.
