[Part 437 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 - 888701328; 14988-8_0437 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 249 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 - 888701321; 14988-8_0249 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 - 888701311; 14988-8_0590 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 65 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 - 888701194; 14988-8_0065 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 - 888701154; 14988-8_0078 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 - 888701104; 14988-8_0587 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 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 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 427 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 - 888700938; 14988-8_0427 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 - 888700801; 14988-8_0149 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 331 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 - 888700564; 14988-8_0331 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 - 888700518; 14988-8_0228 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.

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 - 888700486; 14988-8_0356 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.

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 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 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 2 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 - 888700128; 14988-8_0002 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 - 888699833; 14988-8_0348 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 549 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 - 888698812; 14988-8_0549 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 - 888698294; 14988-8_0479 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 - 888698146; 14988-8_0205 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 - 888698120; 14988-8_0411 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 401 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 - 888698111; 14988-8_0401 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 - 888698095; 14988-8_0431 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 364 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 - 888698072; 14988-8_0364 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 - 888698063; 14988-8_0253 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 - 888698044; 14988-8_0101 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 - 888698027; 14988-8_0285 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 284 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 - 888697993; 14988-8_0284 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 - 888697963; 14988-8_0283 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 129 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 - 888697703; 14988-8_0129 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 - 888697651; 14988-8_0021 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 - 888697510; 14988-8_0542 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 - 888696935; 14988-8_0269 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 422 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 - 888696823; 14988-8_0422 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 - 888696768; 14988-8_0246 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 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 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 - 888696594; 14988-8_0586 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 317 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 - 888696525; 14988-8_0317 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 - 888696479; 14988-8_0501 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 219 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 - 888696360; 14988-8_0219 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 - 888696326; 14988-8_0142 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.

CRUMP BOULEVARD AND SOUTH RIVERSIDE BOULEVARD IN MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - INTERSTATE 55 INTERCHANGE AT E.H. CRUMP BOULEVARD AND SOUTH RIVERSIDE BOULEVARD IN MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 888696300; 14985-5_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Interstate 55 (I-55) interchange at E.H. Crump Boulevard (State Route 15/US 64) and South Riverside Boulevard on the western edge of Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee is proposed. I-55 is a major north-south corridor and is utilized by high volumes of local commuters and through traffic, including commercial truck traffic. The outdated cloverleaf design of the I-55 interchange poses multiple safety and efficiency problems. The project area consists of a 500-foot corridor along the existing I-55 alignment extending 1.5 miles from the Mississippi River Bridge River Bridge in Memphis to near McLemore Avenue. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternatives A and B would modify the interchange to improve traffic movements along and between the I-55 and McLemore interchange and the Mississippi River Bridge. Under Alternative B, southbound I-55 motorists would be provided continuous access to E.H. Crump Boulevard via an outside auxiliary road that would cross under the four-lane mainline structure. Both alternatives would include flyover bridges for the main lanes of I-55 configured with a design speed of 50 miles per hour. Two additional alternatives were developed in order to have a facility that does not force through traffic to enter the French Fort Neighborhood, provides secondary access in and out of the French Fort Neighborhood area, and removes the clover leaf ramps associated with the existing interchange. Alternative Z would add a roundabout in the area that currently contains the cloverleaf ramps. A secondary connector road that attaches the roundabout to the eastern end of Illinois Avenue in the French Fort Neighborhood would provide improved access for residents and local business traffic. Alternative Z-1, which is the preferred alternative, would shift the I-55 through traffic lanes slightly eastward near the adjacent Hershey Foods, Inc. facilities to fully avoid the residences and businesses in the French Fort Neighborhood area. Alternative Z-1 would provide the same general roundabout layout as Alternative Z, with slight variation in the layout of the ramps and connector roads to accommodate the shifting of the I-55 through lanes. Total estimated project costs for Alternative Z-1 are estimated at $33.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would resolve safety and capacity issues at the I-55/Crump Boulevard interchange. These improvements would provide: long-term beneficial impacts to I-55 traffic flows and route continuity; improved connections between I-55 and local roadways; and improved access between the French Fort Neighborhood area and areas east of I-55 including downtown Memphis. Noise impacts would be reduced when compared to the existing conditions due to the shifting of I-55 slightly eastward and away from residences. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way for the preferred alternative would require the acquisition of a small portion of a parking lot owned by Hershey Foods, Inc. A mitigation plan would replace all parking spaces lost through restriping the remaining parking lot and possible use of adjacent vacant property. Direct access to Metal Museum Drive would be eliminated, but the new access to Alston Avenue would provide needed connections to the area.

AN - 888696268; 14988-8_0361 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 - 888696230; 14988-8_0335 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 - 888696176; 14988-8_0305 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 588 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 - 888696170; 14988-8_0588 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 - 888696165; 14988-8_0276 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 360 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 - 888696146; 14988-8_0360 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 - 888696127; 14988-8_0347 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 - 888696115; 14988-8_0409 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 - 888696099; 14988-8_0338 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 111 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 - 888696093; 14988-8_0111 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 - 888696083; 14988-8_0459 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 332 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 - 888696063; 14988-8_0332 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 - 888696057; 14988-8_0552 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 - 888696036; 14988-8_0561 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 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 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 45 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 - 888695985; 14988-8_0045 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 - 888695957; 14988-8_0016 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 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 - 888695876; 14988-8_0132 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.

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 - 888695719; 14988-8_0032 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.

Preparation date: July 22, 2011 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE 55 INTERCHANGE AT E.H. CRUMP BOULEVARD AND SOUTH RIVERSIDE BOULEVARD IN MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 884408342; 14985 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Interstate 55 (I-55) interchange at E.H. Crump Boulevard (State Route 15/US 64) and South Riverside Boulevard on the western edge of Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee is proposed. I-55 is a major north-south corridor and is utilized by high volumes of local commuters and through traffic, including commercial truck traffic. The outdated cloverleaf design of the I-55 interchange poses multiple safety and efficiency problems. The project area consists of a 500-foot corridor along the existing I-55 alignment extending 1.5 miles from the Mississippi River Bridge River Bridge in Memphis to near McLemore Avenue. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternatives A and B would modify the interchange to improve traffic movements along and between the I-55 and McLemore interchange and the Mississippi River Bridge. Under Alternative B, southbound I-55 motorists would be provided continuous access to E.H. Crump Boulevard via an outside auxiliary road that would cross under the four-lane mainline structure. Both alternatives would include flyover bridges for the main lanes of I-55 configured with a design speed of 50 miles per hour. Two additional alternatives were developed in order to have a facility that does not force through traffic to enter the French Fort Neighborhood, provides secondary access in and out of the French Fort Neighborhood area, and removes the clover leaf ramps associated with the existing interchange. Alternative Z would add a roundabout in the area that currently contains the cloverleaf ramps. A secondary connector road that attaches the roundabout to the eastern end of Illinois Avenue in the French Fort Neighborhood would provide improved access for residents and local business traffic. Alternative Z-1, which is the preferred alternative, would shift the I-55 through traffic lanes slightly eastward near the adjacent Hershey Foods, Inc. facilities to fully avoid the residences and businesses in the French Fort Neighborhood area. Alternative Z-1 would provide the same general roundabout layout as Alternative Z, with slight variation in the layout of the ramps and connector roads to accommodate the shifting of the I-55 through lanes. Total estimated project costs for Alternative Z-1 are estimated at $33.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would resolve safety and capacity issues at the I-55/Crump Boulevard interchange. These improvements would provide: long-term beneficial impacts to I-55 traffic flows and route continuity; improved connections between I-55 and local roadways; and improved access between the French Fort Neighborhood area and areas east of I-55 including downtown Memphis. Noise impacts would be reduced when compared to the existing conditions due to the shifting of I-55 slightly eastward and away from residences. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New right-of-way for the preferred alternative would require the acquisition of a small portion of a parking lot owned by Hershey Foods, Inc. A mitigation plan would replace all parking spaces lost through restriping the remaining parking lot and possible use of adjacent vacant property. Direct access to Metal Museum Drive would be eliminated, but the new access to Alston Avenue would provide needed connections to the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

[Part 24 of 25] T2 - EAST LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 884843699; 14979-9_0024 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

[Part 4 of 25] T2 - EAST LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 884843673; 14979-9_0004 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

[Part 15 of 38] T2 - ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT (STATE ROUTE 99) REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 884843647; 14983-3_0015 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

[Part 18 of 25] T2 - EAST LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 884843576; 14979-9_0018 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

[Part 11 of 38] T2 - ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT (STATE ROUTE 99) REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 884843552; 14983-3_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884842774; 14979-9_0015 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

[Part 37 of 38] T2 - ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT (STATE ROUTE 99) REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 884842741; 14983-3_0037 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884842725; 14979-9_0013 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected.

This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

[Part 11 of 25] T2 - EAST LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 884842675; 14979-9_0011 AB - PURPOSE: An 18-mile extension of light rail transit (LRT) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region of King County, Washington is proposed. The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life.

The East Link LRT Project would connect to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authoritys Central Link at the International District/Chinatown Station, and then travel east across Lake Washington via Interstate 90 (I90) to Mercer Island, Downtown Bellevue, and Bel-Red/Overlake, terminating in Downtown Redmond. The project corridor has been divided into five segments along distinct geographic boundaries and this final EIS considers 24 build alternatives, a No Build Alternative, and four maintenance facility alternatives. A total of 19 station options exist in the five segments. Segment A would connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island and South Bellevue via I-90. The preferred 112th SE Modified Alternative (B2M) for Segment B would leave the I-90 center roadway at Bellevue Way SE and continue north adjacent to Bellevue Way SE and then along 112th Avenue SE to approximately SE 6th Street. Two preferred alternatives for Segment C, the 108th NE At-Grade Alternative (C11A) and the110th NE Tunnel Alternative (C9T), would travel through downtown Bellevue between approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets on either an at-grade or tunnel profile. Segment D, Bel-Red/Overlake, would travel from the I-405 crossing to the Overlake Transit Center through the Bel-Red corridor. Two design options are associated with the preferred NE 16th At-Grade Alternative (D2A): the 120th Station Design Option, which involves changes in vertical profile at the 120th Station; and the NE 24th Design Option, which involves a route change along NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE and a different location for the Overlake Village Station. Segment E, Downtown Redmond, would travel from Overlake Transit Center via the State Route 520 corridor until West Lake Sammamish Parkway and then proceed by way of Marymoor Park through Downtown Redmond via the former BNSF Railway corridor to the termination point at the Downtown Redmond Station. Total costs for the preferred alternatives for all segments are estimated in 2007 dollars at $2.9 to $3.4 billion if preferred alternative C11A is selected, or $3.1 to $3.7 billion if preferred alternative C9T is selected. Construction is expected to start in 2015, with operation under way between 2022 and 2023. Segment E to Downtown Redmond would be constructed after 2023. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The East Link LRT system would expand capacity and improve the speed and reliability of the regional transportation network. Diversion of commuters and other travelers from automobiles to cleaner, more efficient rail transport would reduce congestion on regional highways and roads and reduce future air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project-wide preferred alternatives would: adversely affect levels of service at 11 to 13 traffic intersections; displace 49 residences and 59 to 81 businesses; impact 0.7 acres of wetlands and 2.6 to 3.0 acres of wildlife habitat; create noise impacts to 367 to 445 receptors; permanently impact 5.8 to 6.0 acres of parks; and affect one or two historic properties.

[Part 4 of 38] T2 - ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT (STATE ROUTE 99) REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. AN - 884842602; 14983-3_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884842556; 14983-3_0035 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884842469; 14983-3_0031 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884842304; 14983-3_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884841697; 14983-3_0028 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed. Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.

AN - 884841692; 14983-3_0021 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct (State Route 99) between S. Royal Brougham Way and Roy Street in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington is proposed. The viaduct sustained damage during the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake and is seismically vulnerable and at the end of its useful life. A March 2004 draft EIS analyzed five build alternatives and a No Build Alternative. The number of build alternatives was reduced to two in the 2006 supplemental draft EIS and a new Bored Tunnel Alternative was proposed in 2009 and comparatively evaluated in the 2010 second supplemental draft EIS. This final EIS evaluates the No Build Alternative in addition to the Bored Tunnel Alternative, Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative, and Elevated Structure Alternative, each with and without tolls. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would replace State Route 99 (SR 99) with a tunnel that would have two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes would be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes would be located on the bottom. Travel lanes would be 11 feet wide, with a two-foot-wide shoulder on one side and an eight-foot-wide shoulder on the other side. Unlike the existing connections, ramps to and from Columbia and Seneca Streets or Elliott and Western Avenues would not be provided. Access to and from SR 99 in the south portal area would be provided with new ramps at S. Royal Brougham Way and Alaskan Way South. A new signalized intersection at Alaskan Way South and S. Dearborn Street would provide access to and from East Marginal Way South, which would run along the west side of SR 99. A tunnel operations building would be constructed in the block bounded by S. Dearborn Street, Railroad Way South, and Alaskan Way South. In the north portal area, access would be provided with new ramps near Harrison and Republican Streets. Surface streets would be rebuilt and improved in the north portal area and a tunnel operations building would be constructed between Thomas and Harrison Streets on the east side of Sixth Avenue North. The Bored Tunnel Alternative would remove the viaduct along the Seattle waterfront and would close and fill the Battery Street Tunnel after the bored tunnel is constructed.

Construction would take about 5.4 years and $2.8 billion of state funding has been committed. If tolling is not implemented, $400 million in funding would be needed from another source. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structurally unsound viaduct would be replaced with up-to-date facilities capable of withstanding earthquakes and offering the capacity to maintain or improve mobility, safety, and accessibility for travelers and freight interests. Implementation would protect the integrity and viability of adjacent activities on the central waterfront and in downtown Seattle. Once the viaduct is removed, views to and from the waterfront would be improved. Traffic-generated noise levels, which approach or exceed criteria at 41 of the 70 sites modeled for the study, would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Bored Tunnel Alternative would require: partial or full acquisition of 12 commercial properties and 55 subsurface parcels; removal of four buildings and the relocation or displacement of 152 workers; removal of 390 parking spaces; and demolition of the existing viaduct and the Battery Street tunnel, both of which are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. During construction, SR 99 would be restricted for 52 months and closed for three weeks. Individual Puget Sound chinook salmon in the adjacent Elliott Bay could be affected.
