BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Berrien County, Benton Charter

Township, Michigan

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that a

supplement to a final environmental

impact statement will be prepared to

identify a recommended route for the

US–31 freeway between Napier Avenue

and I–94 in Berrien County, Michigan.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

James Kirschensteiner, Environmental

Programs and Field Operations

Engineer, Federal Highway

Administration, 315 W. Allegan Street,

Room 207, Lansing, Michigan 48933,

Telephone (517) 702–1835 or Mr. Paul

Wisney, Project Manager, Design

Division, Michigan Department of

Transportation, P.O. Box 30050,

Lansing, Michigan 48909, Telephone

(517) 394–8680.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA in cooperation with the

Michigan Department of Transportation

(MDOT) is preparing a supplement to a

final environmental impact statement to

reevaluate the recommended alternative

alignment identified in the final

environmental impact statement (EIS)

for the US–31 freeway, and examine

potential alternative improvements and

alignments. The recommended

alternative identified in the June 9, 1981

FEIS, (FHWA–MI–78–02–F) consisted of

a freeway alignment which traversed the

Blue Creek and the adjoining fen habitat

areas and provided a direct connection

with I–96.

The US–31 freeway connection to the

I–94 study area is generally bounded by

Napier Avenue to the south, Benton

Center Road to the west, Blue Creek

Road to the east, and I–94 and I–96 to

the north. South of the proposed study

area, US–31 has been constructed as a

freeway facility from the MichiganIndiana state line to a point just south

of the St. Joseph River in Berrien

Springs. North of Berrien Springs, US–

31 is in various stages of construction

and a limited-access freeway facility is

planned to be completed up to Napier

Avenue by 2003. US–31 is a principal

arterial serving north-south traffic in

Michigan’s western lower peninsula,

extending approximately 356 miles from

the Michigan-Indiana state line north to

a point just south of Mackinaw City.

This route serves commercial and

recreational areas along the western side

of the state of Michigan.

A wide range of transportation

improvement alternatives will be

analyzed within the study area.

Alternatives will include a: do nothing

alternative, evaluating a potential

connection of US–31 with I–94 in the

vicinity of the existing Benton harbor/

St. Joseph Business Loop I–94

interchange, comparing these

alternatives to the approved 1981 final

EIS limited access freeway alignment,

and evaluation of various

Transportation Systems Management

improvements including a new

eastbound I–94 off ramp to Business

Loop I–94. The entire process of

determining a recommended alternative

is expected to take approximately

eighteen months.

Letters and scoping information

describing the proposed action will be

prepared to solicit comments from

appropriate federal, state, cooperating

agencies, and local agencies. Citizen

involvement will also be solicited

throughout this process. A public

hearing will be held on the draft

supplement to the final environmental

impact statement. Public notice will be

given of the time and place of the

hearing. The draft supplement to the

final EIS will be available for public and

agency review and comment prior to the

public hearing.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all potentially significant

issues identified, comments and

suggestions are invited from all

interested parties. Comments or

questions concerning this proposed

action and the supplement to the final

EIS should be directed to the FHWA at

the address provided above.
