SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EA
summary addresses the proposed
construction of a new Job Corps Center
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The site for
the proposed Job Corps Center is a 23acre undeveloped parcel of land owned
by James Cape & Sons Company.
The new center will require
construction of approximately eight new
buildings. The proposed Job Corps
Center will provide housing, training,
and support services for approximately
300 students. The current facility
utilization plan includes new
dormitories, a cafeteria building,
administration offices, recreation
facilities, and classroom facilities.
The construction of the Job Corps
Center on this proposed site would be
a positive asset to the area in terms of
environmental and socioeconomic
improvements, and long-term
productivity. The proposed Job Corps
Center will be a new source of
employment opportunity for people in
the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The
Job Corps program provides basic
education, vocational skills training,
work experience, counseling, health
care and related support services. The
program is designed to graduate
students who are ready to participate in
the local economy.

The proposed project will not have
any significant adverse impact on any
natural systems or resources. No state or
Federal threatened or endangered
species (proposed or listed) have been
identified on the subject property.
The Job Corps Center construction
will not affect any existing historic
structures, as there are no historic or
archeologically sensitive areas on the
proposed property parcel.
Air quality and noise levels should
not be affected by the proposed
development project. Due to the nature
of the proposed project, it would not be
a significant source of air pollutants or
additional noise, except possibly during
construction of the facility. All
construction activities will be
conducted in accordance with
applicable noise and air pollution
regulations, and all pollution sources
will be permitted in accordance with
applicable pollution control regulations.
The proposed Job Corps Center is not
expected to significantly increase the
vehicle traffic in the vicinity.
The proposed project will not have
any significant adverse impact on the
surrounding water, sewer, and storm
water management infrastructure. The
new buildings to be constructed for the
proposed Job Corps Center will be tied
in to the existing City of Milwaukee
Water Works system. The new buildings
to be constructed for the proposed Job
Corps Center will also be tied in to the
existing Milwaukee Metropolitan
Sewerage District wastewater treatment
system.
We Energies will provide the
electricity for the site. This is not
expected to create any significant
impact to the regional utility
infrastructure.
The Job Corps Center is not expected
to result in a significant increase in
vehicular traffic, since many of the Job
Corps Center residents will either live at
the Job Corps Center or use public
transportation. While some Job Corps
Center students and staff may use
personal vehicles, their number would
not result in a significant increase in
vehicular traffic in the area. However,
the proposed Job Corps Center entrance
would be from North 60th Street. North
60th Street is a well-used, two-lane
thoroughfare. Milwaukee County
Transit System will provide public
transportation. Bus Route 76 travels
along North 60th Street past the location
of the proposed Job Corp Center. There
are a number of connecting bus routes
within walking distance of the site.
No significant adverse affects to local
medical, emergency, fire and police
services are anticipated. The primary
medical provider located closest to the

Jkt 208001
proposed Job Corps parcel is the
Northwest General Hospital,
approximately 3.5 miles from the
proposed Job Corps Center. Security
services at the Job Corps will be
provided by the center’s security staff.
Law enforcement services are provided
by the City of Milwaukee Police
Department—District 4, located
approximately 1.6 miles from the
proposed project site. The City of
Milwaukee Fire Department will
provide fire protection. Milwaukee Fire
Department #9 which operates 24 hours
a day is located approximately 1.2 miles
from the site.
The proposed project will not have a
significant adverse sociological effect on
the surrounding community. Similarly,
the proposed project will not have a
significant adverse effect on
demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics of the area.
The alternatives considered in the
preparation of this FONSI were as
follows: (1) No Action; and (2) Continue
Project as Proposed. The No Action
alternative was not selected. The U.S.
Department of Labor’s goal of improving
the Job Corps Program by improving the
learning environment at Job Corps
Centers would not be met under this
alternative. Due to the suitability of the
proposed site for establishment of a new
Job Corps Center, and the absence of any
identified significant adverse
environmental impacts from locating a
Job Corps Center on the subject
property, the ‘‘Continue Project as
Proposed’’ alternative was selected.
Based on the information gathered
during the preparation of the EA, no
environmental liabilities, current or
historical, were found to exist on the
proposed Job Corps Center site. The
construction of the Job Corps Center at
6767 North 60th Street, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin will not create any
significant adverse impacts on the
environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Labor (DOL) is soliciting
proposals for sites to establish new Job
Corps centers. The Job Corps program is
designed to serve disadvantaged young
women and men, 16 through 24, who
are in need of additional educational,
career technical (vocational), and other
support services in order to acquire the
skills to begin a career, return to school
or enter the Armed Forces. The program
is primarily a residential program
operating 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week with non-resident enrollees
limited by legislation to 20 percent of
national enrollment. While the 20
percent level should be used as a
guideline, the percentage of nonresidents can vary from center to center,
depending upon local needs.
Job Corps currently offers a
comprehensive, integrated Career
Development Services System which
provides services for students from the
time they apply through enrollment,
career preparation and career
development activities, and post-center
career transition services. Career
preparation and career development
activities occur primarily on-center and
include academic, career technical
(vocational), information technology
and social skills training; personal and
career counseling; medical care; meals
and housing; and related support
services. Career transition services begin
towards the end of the training period
and continue for up to two years after
a student leaves the center and returns
home. These services include career
search, job placement and transitional
support to meet individual students’
needs, such as housing, transportation
and child care after they leave the Job
Corps center.
Job Corps will be implementing a new
framework for building a 21st century
system of excellence. The components
envisioned for a new program delivery
model include high-growth, highdemand industry/occupational clusters;
aligning program content with 21st
century workplace requirements, and
involving industry, education and
workforce partners as an integral part of
the Job Corps system. Training for each
