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
