ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that a Tier
Two Environmental Impact Statement
will be prepared for the Illiana Corridor
in Will and Kankakee Counties, Illinois
and Lake County, Indiana.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT)
and the Indiana Department of
Transportation (INDOT), will prepare a
Tier Two Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Illiana Corridor.
The study area is an approximately
2,000 foot wide, 47-mile long east-west
oriented corridor with a western
terminus at I–55 just north of the City
of Wilmington in Illinois and an eastern
terminus at I–65 approximately 3 miles
north of State Route 2 in Indiana. The
Tier Two EIS will present further detail
on a range of alternatives within the
selected corridor identified in Tier One,
an evaluation of impacts of the
alternatives, and actions for mitigating
project impacts to environmental
resources. In general, the range of
alternatives considered in a Tier Two
study will be confined to the selected
corridor. However, the flexibility will
exist to consider alternatives with minor
excursions outside the selected corridor
to avoid impacts within the selected
corridor not anticipated in the Tier One
EIS, or to address context sensitive
design issues in a way that does not
materially increase overall impacts.
The primary environmental resources
that may be affected are: residential
properties, agricultural land,
floodplains, wetlands, and sensitive

wildlife species. This project is being
developed using the Context Sensitive
Solutions policies of the Illinois and
Indiana Departments of Transportation
and will strive to achieve sustainable
design concepts. Alternatives to be
evaluated will include (1) taking no
action and (2) evaluating alternatives
within the corridor that was selected in
Tier One, including consideration of
multiple alignment or design options
within the selected corridor, financing
options, and construction sequencing
options.
As part of the EIS process, a scoping
meeting for obtaining input from federal
and state resource and regulatory
agencies will be held on February 22,
2013. The scoping meeting will discuss
the level of detail and methodologies to
be used in the Tier Two EIS, as well as
addressing the continuation of the bistate agency coordination process, and
will be conducted interactively on
February 22, 2013 at multiple locations
including Chicago and Springfield,
Illinois and Indianapolis, Indiana. For
details regarding these locations, Mr. J.
Michael Bowen may be contacted at
(217) 492–4600. A Tier Two Stakeholder
Involvement Plan (SIP), which meets
the requirements of a coordination plan,
will be developed to ensure that a full
range of issues related to the Tier Two
studies are identified and addressed.
The SIP provides meaningful
opportunities for all stakeholders to
participate in defining transportation
issues and solutions for the study area.
The web site established for this project
(https://illianacorridor.org/) is one
element of the public involvement
program.
Comments or questions concerning
this proposed action and the Tier Two
EIS are invited from all interested
parties and should be directed to the
FHWA at the address provided above.
The Tier Two Draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review after its
publication. A public hearing will be
held during the public comment period
for the Draft EIS. Public notice will be
given of the time and place of public
meetings and hearings.
The Tier Two EIS will conclude with
a Record of Decision identifying a
selected alignment for the transportation
facility.
