Environmental Impact Statement: 

Riverside County, CA

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration, Department of 

Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), in cooperation 

with the Riverside County 

Transportation Commission (RCTC) and 

the California Department of 

Transportation (Caltrans), is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for the proposed Mid 

County Parkway (MCP) project. The EIS 

will study alternatives to implement the 

proposed Mid County Parkway project 

in western Riverside County between 

Interstate 15 (I–15) to the west and State 

Route 79 (SR 79) to the east.

Angeles Metro Office, 201 N. Figueroa 

Street, Suite 1460, Los Angeles, 

California 90012. Telephone: (213) 202–

Telephone: (951) 787–7141. Fax: (951) 

787–7920.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed Mid County Parkway is 

located in an area of western Riverside 

County that is currently undergoing 

substantial population and employment 

growth. The study area is located on 

either side of the existing roadway 

known as Cajalco Road between I–15 

and I–215 and as Ramona Expressway 

east of I–215. The proposed action 

would adopt an alignment for the Mid 

County Parkway and construct a major 

limited access transportation facility to 

meet current and projected travel 

demand for 2030 and I–15 on the west 

to SR–79 on the east. The purpose of the 

project is to effectively and efficiently 

accommodate the regional east-west 

movement of people and goods between 

and through the cities of San Jacinto, 

Perris and Corona. The project will also 

provide roadway geometries to meet 

State highway design standards, 

accommodate the Surface 

Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) 

National Network oversized trucks and 

provide a facility that is compatible 

with a future multimodal transportation 

system. 

The Mid County Parkway project is a 

part of the long-term transportation 

planning project in Riverside County 

called the Community and 

Environmental Transportation 

Acceptability Process (CETAP). CETAP 

is a component of comprehensive land 

use and transportation planning in 

Riverside County known as the 

Riverside County Integrated Project. 

CETAP was one of the first seven 

projects in the nation to be processed 

under Executive Order 13274 for 

‘‘Environmental Stewardship and 

Transportation Infrastructure Reviews’’. 

Eight alternatives for the Mid County 

Parkway project have been developed 

for evaluation in the EIS, including a no 

action alternative. Many of the parkway 

alignment alternatives share common 

segments. Generally, Alternatives 2 

through 5 vary in terms of whether the 

route is directed north or south of Lake 

Mathews and whether the route follows 

a northerly or southerly alignment 

through the City of Perris. Alternatives 

6 and 7 incorporate the General Plan 

arterial designations for both Cajalco 

Road and El Sobrante west of Wood 

Road around Lake Mathews. The 

parkway component of Alternatives 6 

and 7 is limited to the area east of Wood 

Road.

Alternatives under consideration 

include: (1) No Project/No Action; (2) 

North Lake Mathews/North Perris 

Parkway Alternative; (3) North Lake 

Mathews/South Perris Parkway 

Alternative; (4) South Lake Mathews/

North Perris Parkway Alternative; (5) 

South Lake Mathews/South Perris 

Parkway Alternative; (6) General Plan/

North Perris Alternative; (7) General 

Plan/South Perris Alternative; and (8) 

General Plan Circulation Element. These 

basic alternatives will have additional 

design variations and other engineering 

details. A final selection of study 

alternatives and their subset variations 

will not be made until all public and 

agency comments are reviewed 

following the scoping process.

Note: As required by the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, all 

other reasonable alternatives including a nobuild alternative will be considered. These 

alternatives may be refined, combined with 

various different alternative elements or be 

removed from further consideration as more 

analysis is conducted on the project 

alternatives. Letters describing the proposed 

action and soliciting comments will be sent 

to appropriate federal, State, and local 

agencies, and to private organizations and 

citizens who have previously expressed, or 

are known to have, an interest in this 

proposal. Three public scoping meetings will 

be held in December 2004. Public notice will 

be given of the time and place of these 

meetings.

Public hearings will be held after the 

draft EIS is completed. Public notice 

will be given of the time and place of 

the hearings. The draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comment prior to the formal public 

hearings. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action is 

addressed and all significant issues are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the addresses 

provided above.
