[Part 447 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888701329; 14988-8_0447 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 307 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888701319; 14988-8_0307 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888701264; 14988-8_0215 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments.

The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 76 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888701123; 14988-8_0076 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888701089; 14988-8_0585 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888700993; 14988-8_0476 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria.

The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888700837; 14988-8_0159 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 420 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888700724; 14988-8_0420 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888700618; 14988-8_0379 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses.

The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments.

Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888700203; 14988-8_0082 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 61 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888699968; 14988-8_0061 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888699602; 14988-8_0583 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain.

The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments.

The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 464 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888698136; 14988-8_0464 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888698127; 14988-8_0198 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888698112; 14988-8_0152 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria.

The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888698081; 14988-8_0173 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 344 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888698060; 14988-8_0344 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888698043; 14988-8_0596 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses.

The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments.

The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 282 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888697909; 14988-8_0282 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 555 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888697790; 14988-8_0555 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888697732; 14988-8_0569 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria.

Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 539 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888697343; 14988-8_0539 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888697132; 14988-8_0417 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888696899; 14988-8_0448 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria.

The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888696777; 14988-8_0388 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

AN - 888696727; 14988-8_0445 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.

[Part 303 of 597] T2 - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS TIER 2 SECTION 4 PROJECT, CRANE NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER TO BLOOMINGTON, GREENE AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA. AN - 888696681; 14988-8_0303 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Section 4 of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana, part of the federally-approved I-69 Evansville-to-Indianapolis project, is proposed. The termini of Section 4, as approved in the March 2004 Tier 1 Record of Decision for the I-69 project, are US 231 in Greene County near Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and State Road 37 (SR 37) south of Bloomington in Monroe County. The 27-mile project corridor was divided into eight segments for development of alternative alignments and interchange options. This final EIS analyzes four end-to-end alternatives along with three interchange options. Initial design criteria for the preferred alternative, which is a refinement of Alternative 2, specify construction of a new freeway section with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot wide depressed median. The median would include two five-foot wide usable inside shoulders and to the outside of each pair of travel lanes there would be a minimum 35-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide shoulders. The average right-of-way width using initial design criteria is approximately 500 feet; however, the right-of-way widths would vary from 300 feet to over 850 feet depending on alignment, terrain features, and local access treatments. Low-cost design criteria under consideration would provide a mainline typical cross section similar to the initial design criteria, but would use a 30-foot wide outside clear zone containing 11-foot wide usable shoulders. The low-cost design criteria would also consider alternative length of grade criteria, rock cut slope treatment, fill slope treatments, and different pavement materials. The average right-of-way width for the low-cost design criteria is approximately 380 feet; but the right-of-way widths would vary from about 270 feet to 700 feet. Section 4 would have interchanges at SR 45, the South Connector Road at the Greene/Monroe county line, and SR 37. Project cost in 2010 dollars is estimated at $532 million using low-cost design criteria and at $733 million using initial design criteria. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the study area with consequent benefits to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the preferred alternative would require 1,456 to 1,809 acres of new right-of-way and would impact 356 to 461 acres of farmland, 874 to 1,091 acres of forest, 93,196 to 111,247 linear feet of streams, 5.3 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, and 36 to 51 acres of floodplain. Indiana bat may be adversely affected, but construction would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species. Displacements would include 71 to 75 residences and four businesses. Noise impacts would affect 88 to 90 receptors.
