**Environmental Impact Statement: Cook County, IL** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Intent.

**SUMMARY :**  The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed transportation project in Cook County, Illinois.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Norman R. Stoner, P.E., Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 3250 Executive Park Drive, Springfield, Illinois 62703, Phone: (217) 492–4600. Diane O’Keefe, P.E., Deputy Director of Highways, Region One Engineer, District 1, Illinois Department of Transportation, 201 W. Center Court, Schaumburg, IL 60196– 1096, Phone: (847) 705–4110.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The FHWA, in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Transportation, will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to improve Interstate 290 (I–290) located in the Illinois county of Cook. The proposed improvement would involve the reconstruction of the existing 7.5 mile roadway facility from US 12/20/45 (Mannheim Road) to east of IL 50 (Cicero Avenue). Improvements to the corridor are considered necessary due to safety concerns, operational issues, traffic congestion, and age of facility. Alternatives that may be considered include (1) taking no action; (2) a full range of multi-modal build alternatives that involve the reconstruction of I–290.

Improvements to I–290 have the potential to affect environmental features in the project area. The corridor is located in a highly developed mature urban setting with limited biological and natural resources. The built environment has the potential to be affected. Some resources within the proposed area include: cemeteries, parks, special waste sites, nearby historic districts, possible residential and commercial displacements, air quality, sensitive noise receptors, the Des Plaines River, and related indirect and cumulative impact considerations.

Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies. As part of the EIS process a scoping meeting for obtaining input from Resource Agencies was held on September 9, 2009.

The Illinois Department of Transportation’s Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) process will be used for public involvement. A Stakeholder Involvement Plan (SIP) has been developed to ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed project are identified and addressed. The SIP provides meaningful opportunities for all stakeholders to participate in defining transportation issues and solutions for the study area. One public meeting will be held in Cook County at each project milestone. In addition to the public meetings, a public hearing and comment period will be held following the release of the Draft EIS. Public notice will be given for the time and place of the public meetings and hearing. A project website has been established (http:// www.eisenhowerexpressway.com) as one element of the project public involvement process.

To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action are addressed and all significant issues 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 address provided above.

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for the New Airport Traffic Control Tower and Base Building at Cherry Capital Airport, Traverse City, Michigan.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this notice to advise the public that the FAA has prepared, and approved on February 8, 2010, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) based on the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) for a New Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Base Building at Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) in Traverse City, Michigan. The FAA prepared the Final EA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and the FAA’s regulations and guidelines for environmental documents. It was accepted on November 2, 2009 by the FAA’s Responsible Federal Official.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Ms. Virginia Marcks, Manager, Infrastructure Engineering Center, AJW–C14D, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois
60018. Telephone number: (847) 294–
7494.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Final EA evaluated the construction and operation of a new ATCT at TVC. The replacement ATCT will be a Low Activity Level facility with a 395 square foot cab accommodating two operational positions and two support positions. The ATCT will be constructed on 1.64 acres of land owned by the airport, 520 feet northeast of the existing ATCT and will have a cab floor height of 752 feet above mean sea level, located within the footprint of Airport Access Road. The

existing ATCT would be decommissioned after the ATCT is operational. The increased square footage of the ATCT will provide the capability to meet future expansion requirements. The Base Building design will conform to the guidelines of the Terminal Facilities Design Standards for Base Building and EnvironmentalSupport Buildings with a modified slabon-grade 7,000 SF floor plan. A new link building will connect the two structures, and paved surface parking will be constructed next to the Base Building. A 10-foot security fence will be constructed around the complex. The project will incorporate energy conservation, recycled materials, and green technologies where practicable. In addition, the Runway 28 localizer antenna and shelter will be shifted slightly to maintain optimal operational characteristics. The existing antenna and shelter will be removed once the new equipment is operational.

The new ATCT will accommodate current and future modernization of the NAS, improve visibility of airport surfaces, provide adequate space to improve operational and administrative efficiency, accommodate future air traffic growth and overall, and increase the efficient functionality of the facility.

The Final EA has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. ’’ In addition, FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions’’ has been used as guidance in the preparation of the environmental analysis.
