Tracey Blankenship, Major Projects 

Program Manager, Federal Highway 

Administration, 525 Junction Road,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Wisconsin Department of 

Transportation (WisDOT), will prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for proposed improvements in the 

I–90/94 corridor and adjacent local road 

systems from the US 12/WIS 16 

interchange (2 miles north of Wisconsin 

Dells) to the I–39 interchange (south of 

Portage), approximately 25 miles. The 

project limits include operational areas 

of influence at each interchange. The 

purpose of this project is to address 

pavement and bridge structural needs; 

highway and roadside safety issues and 

design deficiencies; accommodate 

existing and projected traffic volumes; 

and improve the transportation system’s 

ability to support local and regional 

tourism economies in the Wisconsin 

Dells area and northern Wisconsin. The 

EIS will evaluate a range of alternatives 

for the I–90/94 mainline and system 

interchanges, adjacent arterial roads, 

and connections to the local road 

network. This may result in full 

reconstruction and redesign of the I–90/ 

94 corridor in this area and rebuilding 

existing interchanges. The EIS will be 

prepared in accordance with 23 USC 

139, 23 CFR 771, and 40 CFR 1500– 

1508. Completion of the EIS is expected 

in 2018 and the Record of Decision 

(ROD) in 2019. 

Public involvement is a critical 

component of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

will occur throughout the development 

of the draft and final Environmental 

Impact Statement. All environmental 

documents will be made available for 

review by federal and state resource 

agencies and the public. Specific efforts 

to encourage involvement by, and solicit 

comments from, minority and lowincome populations in the project study 

area will be made, with public 

involvement meetings held throughout 

the environmental document process. 

Public notice will be given as to the 

time and place of public involvement 

meetings. A public hearing will be held 

after the completion of the Draft EIS. 

Inquiries related to this study can be 

sent to mark.westerveld@dot.wi.gov. A 

public Web site will be maintained 

throughout the study to provide 

information about the project and allow 

for on-line public comment (http://

www.dot.wisconsin.gov/projects/

swregion/9094/index.htm). To ensure 

the full range of issues related to the 

proposed action are addressed and all 

significant issues identified, comments 

and suggestions are invited from all 

interested parties. Comments and 

questions concerning the proposed 

action and the EIS should be directed to 

the FHWA address provided above. 

Projects receiving Federal funds must 

comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights 

Act, and Executive Order 12898 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations.’’ Federal law prohibits 

discrimination on the basis of race, 

color, age, sex, or country of national 

origin in the implementation of this 

project. It is also Federal policy to 

identify and address any 

disproportionately high and adverse 

effects of federal projects on the health 

or environment of minority and lowincome populations to the greatest 

extent practicable and permitted by law.
