A proposed section of highway pursues a new alignment on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Navajo County, Arizona. It is expected to improve overall north-south transportation and communications for people in the area and to be of economic benefit to the Hopi and the Navajo tribes. Construction scars upon the landscape from cuts, fills and borrow will occur. Loss of approximately 1,300 acres of range land is irrevocable and irretrievable. Reduction of habitat for wildlife cannot be avoided. Encroachment of increased human activity upon a remote area cannot be avoided, and attendant problems of litter control will arise.
