US 12 Corridor Study at Fort Atkinson - Environmental documents

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

Once sufficient need to make improvements to US 12 in the Fort Atkinson area was established, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) began developing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

Final EIS (FEIS)

A FEIS will be prepared that will address comments received on the Draft EIS (DEIS). This document will also describe results of additional study of the southern bypass routes and interim improvements conducted from 2008 through 2011.

Publication of the FEIS is tentatively scheduled in early 2012. The details of WisDOT’s preferred alternative, including benefits and impacts, will be documented in the FEIS.

The FEIS will be available for public review for 30 days, after which the Federal Highway Administration can choose to release a Record of Decision, which would grant final approval of the selected alternative. A Record of Decision (ROD) is needed before the selected alternative may proceed to final design and construction.

Draft EIS (DEIS)

The DEIS was published in October 2005 and circulated for public and agency comment. It explains the "no-action" alternative for a project, as well as a number of possible "build" alternatives and their benefits and impacts. A public hearing was conducted on the DEIS in December 2005.

Based upon the findings of the DEIS and upon agency and public comments, WisDOT selected a course of action that includes making interim improvements to the existing system and officially mapping a southern bypass route for construction at a later date.
