We have reviewed the Battlefield Bypass DEIS and have found a number of noteworthy deficiencies that significantly affect the conclusion that four lane bypasses are required to replace Routes 29 and 234 through the Manassas Battlefield National Park. These deficiencies include:

  • Proper Modeling Procedures Not Followed
  • No-Action Alternative is Invalid and Leads to Invalid Alternatives Modeling
  • Flawed conclusion that four lane bypasses are needed to accommodate the existing traffic
  • volumes currently traversing the Park
  • Flawed specification and subsequent rejection of the Transit alternative
  • Flawed rejection of the TSM alternative
  • Flawed route chosen for Alternative G
