The FHWA is using a tiered EIS to focus on issues in an organized manner as discussed in the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations at 40 CFR 1502.20. The Tier 1 document will include in-depth analysis of environmental, transportation, and economic impacts, as well as cost estimates. This document will provide the basis for FHWA to grant location approval for a specific corridor. The Tier 2 environmental documents will result from a series of smaller studies for individual sections of the corridor. Within each section of the corridor, specific alignments would be identified and evaluated based upon their social, economic and environmental impacts. The Tier 2 documents would be more closely tailored to address transportation needs within each project section. A scoping meeting will be held for the regulatory agencies. There also will be several public scoping meetings held at various locations in the project area. Early coordination letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies. As part of the process, public hearings will also be held. Public notice will be given as to the time and place of the meetings and hearings. The public hearings will be held after the draft EIS is available for review. To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action is addressed and any significant impacts are identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or questions concerning this proposed action and this Tier 1 EIS should be directed to the FHWA or the INDOT at the address provided above.
