SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed,
environmental responsibilities for this

Caltrans as the assigned National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
agency, in cooperation with San
Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) will prepare a draft
Environmental Impact Statement on a
proposal for a highway improvement
project in San Bernardino County,
California. The proposed Interstate 10
(I–10) Corridor Project consists of
improvements and widening along an
existing 35-mile segment of the I–10
freeway mainline. The proposed project

existing bridges and freeway ramps. The
following alternatives are being
considered:
Alternative 1: No Build (No Action)
Alternative 2: One High Occupancy
Vehicle Lane In Each Direction
Alternative 3: Two Express Lanes In
Each Direction

the I–10 corridor from approximately 2
miles west of the Los Angeles/San
Bernardino County line in the City of
Pomona (Post Mile 46.12) to Ford Street
in the City of Redlands (Post Mile
33.80). It is anticipated that the

Water Act Section 404 permit, a Section
408 permit, a Section 4(f) De Minimis
Finding, an Endangered Species Act
Section 7 Incidental Take Authorization
(Biological Opinion) and Section 106
Finding of Effect Determination.
