DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Impact Statement: Cook
County, IL
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
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,

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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

(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 (https://
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.

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
E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 38 / Friday, February 26, 2010 / Notices
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 Environmental
Support 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.
