TY - RPRT T1 - LAMBERT-SAINT LOUIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, SAINT LOUIS, SAINT LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 36389416; 6717 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport serving the metropolitan area of Saint Louis, Missouri, is proposed. The existing airport is severely constrained and projected to be unable to meet levels of demand in the next five to seven years. The airport currently serves as a hub for TWA and would like to expand to serve as a hub for other air carriers. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative X-1), are considered in this final EIS. The Saint Louis Airport Authority's preferred alternative (Alternative W-1W) would involve the construction of a 9,000-foot runway approximately 2,500 southwest of the airport's current boundary lines and 4,100 feet from existing runway 12L/3OR. The project would also involve the construction of related taxiways, the installation of lighting and navigational aids, grading and drainage improvements, utility relocations, the implementation of air traffic control procedures below 3,000 feet, the renovation and expansion of existing terminal facilities and associated aprons, the relocation of airline support facilities, and the installation of a precision runway monitor. The project would require the relocation of several roadways, including the Natural Bridge Road, Fee Fee Road, Cypress Road, Gist Road, Lambert International Boulevard, Missouri Bottom Road, and McDonnell Boulevard. The realignment of Lindbergh Boulevard would require the construction of a roadway tunnel for those portions of the roadway impacted by the construction of the runway and the optional future extension of existing Runway 12R/30L. The estimated program cost of the expansion is $2.2 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The capacity enhancements would preserve the Saint Louis Airport's ability to provide good air service and economic benefits to the region as a major connecting hub, which is integral to the air service the airport provides the region. The preferred alternative would generate 4,000 jobs and $120 million of value added by the year 2015. The benefit-cost ratio is 2.2. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 1,925 residences, primarily in the city of Bridgton, and adversely affect three park and recreation areas. The construction activity and runway operations would contaminate the water quality of Coldwater Creek. Air traffic control would place aircraft at lower altitudes over the Missouri River floodplain, potentially disrupting bird feeding and nesting activities. The planned construction would displace 9.7 acres of wetlands and encroach on 57.3 acres of floodplain. Approximately 2,123 persons would experience a significant increase noise levels as a result of aircraft operations.

AN - 36415497; 6725 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of navigational channels in Brunswick Harbor, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. Brunswick Harbor is located in an estuary on the Atlantic coast, 80 miles south of Savannah, Georgia, and 70 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida. The existing channel ranges from 27 to 32 feet deep at mean low water (mlw) and 350 to 500 feet across. The existing channel depths constrain vessels from using the port to their design capacity. Issues associated with deepening the channel include the potential introduction of contaminated sediments into Brunswick River, Turtle River, and adjoining creeks; potential salt water intrusion into the aquifer; and the effects of dredging on endangered and threatened species, and beach erosion on Jekyll Island and Saint Simons Island. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed plan would include the widening of the channel at the Sidney Lanier Bridge from 200 feet to 400 feet, the widening of the Lower Turtle Range from 300 feet to 400 feet, the improvement of the Lower Turtle turning basin to approximately 2,500 feet by 1,150 feet, the construction of a 1,100-foot-by-1,100-foot turning basin in the Upper East River, the raising of the dike around the Andrews Island confined disposal facility from 26 feet mlw to 35 feet mlw, the placement of material dredged from the inner and outer harbor into the Andrews facility, the placement of material dredged from the Bar Channel into the existing ocean disposal site and into a series of submerged berms, and the construction of a submerged berm off the northern end of Jekyll Island. The action alternatives would involve deepening the channel by two, four, or six feet from the inner harbor across the bar channel to the ocean. The preferred alternative would include the six-foot dredging. The estimated first cost of the project is $45.8 million; the Federal share of that cost is $29.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels at Brunswick Harbor, the project would reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, reduce tidal delays, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. The benefit-cost ratio for the project is 1.48. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would require the disposal of 15.9 million cubic yards of dredged material and the filling of 18.1 acres of wetlands. The dredging would destroy benthic organisms. The dike raising on Andrews Island would displace nesting habitat.

Preparation date: December 17, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NAPA RIVER FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1975). AN - 36415437; 6707 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Napa River within the city of Napa, California, is proposed. The city of Napa is located 35 miles north-northeast of San Francisco. Since its incorporation as a city in 1872, the city of Napa has experienced frequent flooding in its downtown areas. A General Design Memorandum and a final EIS were prepared in 1975, but the flood control project was never implemented. A draft supplement to the final EIS was issued in March 1995 and presented a reduced version of the project proposed in 1975; however, that draft supplement was never finalized. This second draft supplement considers the range of alternatives presented in the first draft supplement and also examines a new preferred alternative. The preferred alternative would be implemented along approximately 6.9 miles of the Napa River extending from Highway 29 to Trancas Street and involve dike removal or lowering south of Imola Avenue, allowing the Napa River to flow in a wider area; channel modifications to create flood terraces and wetland and upland habitat; the development of a "dry" bypass channel to bridge the oxbow while diverting flood flows out of the oxbow; the construction of levees, dikes, and floodwalls to contain a 100-year flood event; the construction of three pump stations to remove water from behind floodwalls and levees; and bridge demolition relocation in downtown Napa. In addition, channel modifications would be implemented along a two-thirds of a mile stretch of Napa Creek, and five miles of recreational trail would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the plan would provide a 100-year level of flood protection for the area and reduce the economic burdens of flooding. In addition, this alternative would create 107 acres of tidal mudflats and wetlands, restoring habitat that had been destroyed by past water resource developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect fish and wildlife habitat and recreation facilities along the Napa River. Dredging would adversely affect fish by removing them from the river system, destroying habitat, creating high levels of suspended solids and contaminants. The 10-foot floodwall would adversely affect views of the Napa Valley from several vantage points. Several historically significant buildings and a historic bridge would be removed under the preferred alternative.

Preparation date: December 15, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA MARGARITA FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT AND BASILONE ROAD BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, MARINE CORPS BASE AND AIR STATION CAMP PENDLETON, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410209; 6703 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a flood control project at Marine Corps Base and Air Station Camp Pendleton, located in southern California, is proposed. The facilities and operations in the southern portion of the camp are adjacent to the Santa Margarita River and located within its 100-year floodplain. Heavy rainfall in 1993 resulted in the flooding of portions of the camp and the destruction of the Basilone Road Bridge, a two-lane structure that provides a north-south crossing of the Santa Margarita River in the southeast portion of the facility. Flood-related damages restricted full use of the facility for a period of seven months following the 1993 flood. The proposed action would provide 100-year flood protection to the facility. Three levee alignment alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The preferred levee alignment alternative would involve the construction of a 14,500-foot-long levee and a 2,300-foot-long floodwall, extending from STP Number 3 to just upstream of the Santa Margarita Ranch House complex. A stormwater management system would be implemented to drain surface runoff that becomes trapped behind the flood control structure and pump the water back into the river. Three replacement bridge alignment alternatives are also under consideration. The preferred replacement bridge alternative would involve replacing the bridge on its existing alignment and providing a river channel width of 1,155 feet over the newly constructed levee. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and provide necessary flood protection to Camp Pendleton, ensuring that it is able to perform its operational mission. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the levee and bridge would permanently disturb 24.3 acres and 4.2 acres, respectively. In addition, the levee construction would require the disturbance of three historic properties potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: December 12, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 11 JANESVILLE BYPASS (WEST) (PROJECT I.D. 1704-05-00), ROCK COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36400914; 6701 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an east-west transportation link to Interstate-90 (I-90) on State Highway 11 (STH 11), located in southern Wisconsin, is proposed. STH 11 is the primary east-west route across southern Wisconsin between Dubuque, Iowa, and the Racine and Kenosha urban area in Wisconsin. In the project area, STH 11 presently passes through the downtown area of Janesville. Travel along STH 11 in Janesville is slowed by high traffic volumes (including heavy trucks), numerous signalized intersections and driveways, and insufficient roadway capacity. The crash rate on the urban segments is nearly twice the statewide average for similar roadways. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Three of the four build alternatives would bypass Janesville to the south. Alternative 5 would involve widening segments of STH 11 and US 51 in Janesville, then using STH 351 to access I-90. The locally preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would follow a nine-mile bypass alignment east of Haynor Road. This alternative would use existing STH 11 to Haynor Road, then head south on new alignment along property lines east of Haynor. Near O'Leary Road, the alignment would head east to cross the Rock River just north of the wastewater treatment plant, and join Avalon Road near US 51. Like the other build alternatives, the alignment then uses STH 351 to access I-90. The estimated cost of the project is $26.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, traffic congestion and associated safety problems in Janesville would be alleviated. Under the bypass alternatives, traffic would be removed from populous areas, and local and through traffic would generally be separated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace four acres of parkland, 145 acres of farmlands, 12.7 acres of woodlands, and three residences. Two substantial surface flows would be crossed, and four farms would be severed. Two threatened and endangered species of fish have been recorded in Rock River, which would be crossed by all of the build alternatives. Approximately 1.4 acres of wetlands would be filled. The project would affect two hazardous materials sites.

AN - 16354339; 6702 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of the property made available by the closure of the Evans Subpost at Fort Monmouth, located eastern New Jersey, is proposed. The 215-acre subpost is in Wall Township, approximately 10 miles south of the Main Post of Fort Monmouth. Evans is one of three subposts located within a 12-mile radius of Fort Monmouth. It functions as a technical and logistical extension of the fort, with more than 50 percent of the land being used as open testing area. The site also includes a 73-acre tract used for research and development, administration, parking, and supply and storage. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The reuse of the property is considered as a secondary and cumulative impact of disposal. Both encumbered and unencumbered disposal are under consideration. The proposed action would involve the encumbered disposal of the property, which would require screening the property to determine potential demand by subsequent users. Reuse decisions would be made by the local community or other interested parties. The preferred reuse scenario would involve a low-density residential development on the property. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for the disposal and reuse of a facility that the Army no longer needs. Encumbered disposal would protect historic structures, biological resources, and other resource values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal could make it difficult to dispose of certain properties because the encumbrances would limit the number of interested parties; however, unencumbered disposal would result in alterations to the historic properties. Some properties would require an extensive hazardous waste cleanup prior to transfer or sale. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

Preparation date: December 12, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, BETWEEN US 4 AND US 7 IN THE CITY OF RUTLAND AND THE TOWNS OF CLARENDON, MENDON, RUTLAND, AND SHREWSBURY, RUTLAND COUNTY, VERMONT. AN - 36406785; 6695 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of roadway capacity and safety improvements along sections of US Routes 4 and 7, located in western Vermont, is proposed. US 4 connects Vermont with New Hampshire to the east and upstate New York to the west. US 7, which extends north-south from Canada to Massachusetts, connects Rutland with Burlington, Middlebury, Bennington, and other communities in western Vermont. In recent years, the growth of Rutland as a regional shipping center has increased traffic congestion, travel delays, and accident frequency along both routes and at the intersection of the two highways in downtown Rutland. Seven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. One of the build alternatives would involve upgrading the existing roadway along 1.2 miles of Route 7. The capacity of the improved section would vary from five to seven lanes. Under the alternatives which would include no building on new alignments, the roadway alignments would be constructed to the west of the congested intersections on US 4 and 7 (the Westerly Alternative) or to the east (the Powerline Alternative, the 1100' Contour Alternative, and the Wheelerville Alternative). Each build alternative would complete a three-quarter circle bypass with connections between US 7 and 4 around Rutland City. The lengths of the roadway alignments would range from 7.1 miles to 13.4 miles. Initial construction of any selected build alternative would be a two-lane facility with climbing lanes in a four-lane divided facility. A transportation systems management alternative is also under consideration. The estimated construction costs range from $3.3 million to $183.5 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would displace up to 26 single-family houses, 32 apartments, six businesses, and 23.6 acres of wetlands. The construction would require land takings from up to six agricultural operations and four historic properties and require the demolition of three historic buildings.

AN - 36403219; 6694 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately two miles of four-lane highway in order to provide improved access to Manchester Airport, located in southern New Hampshire, is proposed. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives would include connections from both the west (F.E.E. Turnpike) and the east (roads east of Harvey Road such as NH Route 28), and upgrades (involving upgrades of Brown Avenue, Interstate 293, and South Willow Street). The preferred alternative (Alternative CG-Modified) would involve the construction of a divided four-lane, limited-access facility beginning at the F.E.E. Turnpike and US Route 3 at the existing Bedford toll facility and extending easterly for approximately one mile before turning northerly and entering the southern side of the airport. The highway section would include interchanges at F.E.E. Turnpike and US 3 in Bedford, a crossing of the Merrimack River, and an at-grade intersection with NH Route 3A in Manchester. Additional approach improvements to F.E.E. Turnpike, US 3 and NH Route 3A would also be provided. Two additional intersections in Londonderry would be created in order to provide local access to industrially zoned land south of the airport. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative, including construction, right-of-way acquisition, and the mitigation of environmental impacts is $63.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide safe, convenient, and efficient access to the Manchester Airport and industrial lands south of the airport. More specifically, the highway would ease congestion on roads currently used to access the airport as well as accommodate projected increases in traffic generated by expansion of the airport and expected development of the adjacent industrial area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would cross the Little Cohas Brook and cross 109 acres of mapped stratified-drift aquifer. The project would displace approximately 36.3 acres of farmland, 17.8 acres of wetland and 93 acres of forest and other upland and the associated wildlife habitat. Slight increases in noise levels would be experienced at numerous sites. The highway would cross a town-owned riverfront parcel that has been noted for its exceptional views, and 20,000 feet of the project would lie on areas likely to contain prehistoric sites. The project would require acquisition of businesses, residences and/or non-profit organizations in Bedford, Manchester, and Londonderry. Development secondary to the existence of the highway would adversely affect natural resources.

AN - 36403179; 6693 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of a bridge spanning the Atlantic Intracoastal Canal in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, is proposed. Bridge Number 198 is a single-lane, floating steel barge, swing-span draw bridge, with fixed wooden approach spans. Since the bridge provides only a few feet of vertical clearance under the approach spans, virtually all waterway traffic (except small john boats) is blocked when the bridge is closed to allow roadway traffic to cross. The bridge is located on Secondary Road 1172 (SR 1172) and connects the island and mainland portions of the town of Sunset Beach. In February 1994, the bridge was inspected, determined to be in poor condition, and given a sufficiency rating of 4.0 on a 100-point scale. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The Rehabilitation Alternative would involve the replacement of the pontoon, deck, and all of the mechanical components of the bridge. No other roadway improvements would be undertaken under this alternative, and no alteration to current traffic patterns would occur. Alternative C1 would include a high-level, fixed-span bridge, located immediately east of the existing bridge. The bridge would be about 2,710 feet long, also with a minimum of 65 feet of vertical clearance. Alternative C4 would include a mid-level bascule bridge (drawbridge), located immediately west of the existing bridge. The bridge would be about 1,140 feet long, with a minimum of 30 feet of vertical clearance. Alternative W1R (the preferred alternative) would include a high-level, fixed-span bridge located 150 feet west of the existing bridge. The bridge would be 2,372 feet long, with a minimum of 65 feet of vertical clearance. East Shoreline Drive would be realigned to provide a four-leg intersection with NC 179 and relocated SR 1172. Total costs for the preferred alternative would be $15.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The replacement of the existing one-lane bridge would provide a reliable means of transportation between the island and the mainland. It would offer a greater degree of public safety by improving emergency response and emergency evacuation procedures. The structure would also enhance watercraft operations on the Intracoastal Waterway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A new bridge would probably change the character of the island and the composition of the island population. Water quality would be temporarily degraded by construction activities. Three public beaches would be adversely affected by the construction.

AN - 36412988; 6689 AB - PURPOSE: The use of helicopters to provide general public access to remote wilderness areas within the Tongass National Forest in Alaska is proposed. The Tongass National Forest is the last substantially intact temperate rain forest on Earth. Nineteen wilderness areas exist within the national forest: 14 were designated in 1980 and five were designated in 1990. These wilderness areas comprise 5.8 million acres, roughly one-third of the total acreage of the national forest. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), under which no landings ranges would be permitted, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would allow helicopter access in 41 access areas located within seven of the designated wilderness areas where use had been established prior to wilderness designation. The seven wilderness areas are Endicott River, Kootznoowoo (Admiralty Island), Misty Fiords National Monument, South Etolin, South Prince of Wales, Stikine-LaConte, and Tracy Arms-Ford Terror. The maximum number of landings permitted under the proposed action would be 325 per year. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide access to recreational opportunities in remote and established areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, vegetation and soil would be adversely affected in 22 areas. Brown bears could be adversely affected in four areas and mountain goats in 13 areas. Five of the helicopter landing areas would be located within Wild and Scenic River corridors.

The results provide quantitative guidance on how the accuracy of these procedures is affected by the time step and the ground motion frequency characteristics. The six procedures evaluated in this study are representative of the different types of numerical algorithms used to compute the dynamic structural response to a time dependent loading. The time dependent loading is expressed in terms of a ground acceleration time history. The dynamic structural response for each structural model is characterized by the computed response time histories of accelerations, velocities, and displacements. Using single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) models with natural periods assigned based on consideration of the important modal periods of hydraulic structures, an evaluation is made of the accuracy of the computed responses at regular time increments during ground shaking. A ground acceleration applied at the base of an SDOF system is equivalent to a fixed base SDOF system with the forcing function applied to the mass. The results show a correlation between the accuracy of the six numerical step-by-step procedures with the time step value and frequency characteristics of the ground motion used in the analyses. The six algorithms included in this study are the Newmark beta method (with values of gamma and beta that correspond to the linear acceleration method), the Wilson theta Method, the Central Difference Method, the 4th order Runge-Kutta method, Duhamel's integral solved in a piecewise exact fashion, and the piecewise exact method applied directly.

AN - 36389383; 6687 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental restoration project, with incidental recreational features, for the Rio Salado (Salt River), located in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, is proposed. The restoration efforts are required due to upstream water projects which have curtailed year-round water flows and converted the once perennial Salt River into a dry riverbed devoid of habitat. A 33-mile reach of the river was studied during the reconnaissance phase of the project; however, after discussions with representatives of the cities of Phoenix and Tempe, the non-federal sponsors, two specific sites were identified as of immediate interest. The first site is located in Tempe on reaches of the Indian Bend Wash and the Salt River. The second site is a five-mile reach of the Salt River located entirely within Phoenix. Desired habitat types within these two reaches include mesquite upland, cottonwood and willow habitat, wetland marsh, aquatic strand and scrub habitat and open edges. Integral to the restoration of riparian habitat is the provision of sufficient water to irrigate the desired vegetation. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for each reach in this draft EIS. Following evaluation of several alternative water sources, groundwater was selected as the source most appropriate for restoration activities within both of the identified reaches in this draft EIS. The restoration within the Phoenix reach of the Salt River would provide irrigation for 130 acres of mesquite upland, 99 acres of cottonwood and willow habitat, 58 acres of wetland marsh, 51 acres of aquatic strand and scrub habitat and 187 acres of open edges. The restoration within the Indian Bend Wash in Tempe would provide for 20 acres of mesquite upland, 50 acres of aquatic strand and scrub habitat and 10 acres of open edges. Within the Salt River corridor of the Tempe area, the restoration would provide for 10 acres of mesquite upland, 20 acres of cottonwood and willow habitat, 16 acres of wetland marsh and 24 acres of open edges. The non-federal sponsors expressed a desire to increase passive recreational opportunities incidental to the restoration project; these would include facilities for viewing, picnicking, education, and exploration by foot, horseback or bicycle. The estimated first cost of the selected restoration plan is $92.1 million, which includes $6.6 million for the Tempe component and $85.5 million for the Phoenix component. The estimated annual operations and maintenance costs for the restoration plan are $1.6 million, which includes $280,000 for the Tempe component and $1.3 million for the Phoenix component. The estimated costs of the construction of the recreational facilities incidental to the restoration components are $686,000 and $6.8 million for the Tempe and Phoenix facilities, respectively. The estimated annual operations and maintenance costs for the recreational features are $150,500 and $1.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected project approaches would provide riparian habitat, marginal surface and groundwater quality improvement from well-head treatment, and the natural filtering ability of wetland vegetation as well as incidental aesthetic and recreational enhancements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction activities would result in short-term disturbances to vegetation and soils and temporary noise emissions and disruption of vehicular traffic. The spread of tamarisk from established riparian areas could have a significant adverse impact on the integrity of the restored habitats. An increase in the extent of standing water could result in an increase in mosquito breeding. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1938 (P.L. 38-761).

Fifty-four Bendway Weirs and 9,383 willow posts were used to protect the 14 eroding bends.

The results of these simulations have led to revised estimates of the energy dissipated in pressure ridging. This is important in large-scale ice ocean modeling, where the internal strength of the ice pack depends on the energy expended in pressure ridging. However, there has been no experimental data available to establish the accuracy of the simulations. This lack of data is due to the difficulty of modeling the pressure ridging process in the laboratory and of measuring ridge formation in the field. In this work the results of computer simulations of the closely related process of ice pile-up on an inclined ramp are directly compared with the results of a similar series of physical experiments conducted in an ice basin. In the experiments and simulations an inclined ramp is pushed against a long, stationary strip of intact, floating ice. The forces exerted on the ramp, the total energy expended, and the increase in the potential energy of the ice piled on the ramp are measured.

The study reach extends from Columbus, Kentucky, just downstream of Cairo, Illinois, to Natchez, Mississippi, a distance of about 970 km. The analysis shows that the majority of the pre-cut-off study reach was not undergoing any significant system instability such as channel aggradation or degradation, and, therefore can be considered to have been in a state of dynamic equilibrium during this period. However, the analysis did show that the upper portion of the study reach in the vicinity of Columbus was undergoing a significant aggradational trend during this period. Specific gauge records and peak stage-peak discharge plots for the time period 1950-1994 were analysed to document stage adjustments and to divide the river into the following seven reaches based on observed stability: Columbus to New Madrid (dynamic equilibrium); New Madrid to Fulton (transitional/dynamic equilibrium); Fulton to Sunflower (degradational); Sunflower to Rosedale (transitional); Rosedale to Lake Providence (dynamic equilibrium); Lake Providence to Vicksburg (transitional); and Vicksburg to Natchez (aggradational). Thus, the entire Mississippi River, between Natchez and Columbus is responding in a manner similar to the response of a stream to a single cut-off as described by Lane (1947). Recognition of this evolutionary trend is a first step in developing a comprehensive understanding of this complex system, and will help the engineers and scientists of the US Army Corps of Engineers to develop management strategies for the Mississippi River in the long and short term.

There is, however, little documentation on the efficacy of these devices. This paper examines the performance of four open-top chambers for altering temperature at six sites in the Arctic and Antarctica. Most of the heating effect was due to daytime warming above ambient; occasional night-time cooling below ambient, especially of air temperatures, depressed mean daily temperature. The mean daily temperatures at four arctic sites were generally increased by 1.2-1.8 degree C; but occasionally, temperature depressions also occurred. Under optimal conditions at the antarctic site (dry soils, no vegetation, high radiation) mean daily soil temperatures were increased by +2.2 degree C (-10 cm) to + 5.2 degree C (0 cm). Protection from wind may play a more important role than temperature per se in providing a favourable environment for plant growth within open-top devices. Wind speed had a generally negative impact on mean daily temperature. Daily global radiation was both positively and negatively related to chamber temperature response. The effect of chambers on snow accumulation was variable with the Alexandra Fjord site showing an increased accumulation in chambers but no difference in the date of snowmelt, while at Latnjajaure in a deep snowfall site, snowmelt occurred 1-2 weeks earlier in chambers, potentially increasing the growing season. Selection of a passive temperature-enhancing system requires balancing the temperature enhancement desired against potential unwanted ecological effects such as chamber overheating and altered light, moisture, and wind. In general, the more closed the temperature-enhancing system, the higher is the temperature enhancement, but the larger are the unwanted ecological effects. Open-top chambers alter temperature significantly and minimize most unwanted ecological effects; as a consequence, these chambers are a useful tool for studying the response of high-latitude ecosystems to warming.

The size of these sites range from the radioactive waste at Chernobyl in the Ukraine to a small construction debris site in your local neighborhood - and the risk is every bit as variable as the size. In summary, we must begin the paradigm shift from remediation to containment. While containment as the ultimate "fix" is not completely fulfilling, it is the only practical solution available. The procedure designs, contractors, materials, etc., are fully available and the situation is quite economical. Without emphasizing the obvious, geosynthetics play a key role in any waste containment strategy. They are well positioned to do so. Using a general contractor and an innovative Corps design featuring new bank protection methodologies, an 11,705 ft, 14-bend reach of a sinuous, incised, eroding stream was largely stabilized and rapidly maturing 1 year after project completion. Fifty-four Bendway Weirs and 9,383 willow posts were used to protect the 14 eroding bends. While problems with location of many of the Bendway Weirs and installation of the willow posts initially created some problems and repairs were needed in three locations, after three years and at least six out-of-bank flood events, over 11,000 ft of the project was stable. Stream corridor habitat was improved and project costs were approximately half of other projects in the area.

AN - 36413472; 6683 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of reclamation plans for six aggregate mining sites on the Russian River between river mile 25, just north of the city of Healdsburg, and river mile 34, just east of Healdsburg, located in northern California, is proposed. Syar Industries, the project applicant, retains vested rights to extract minerals at five of the sites without obtaining state or county approval. No vested rights apply to the sixth site, located within Healdsburg; all sites require that the applicant prepare a plan specifying the reclamation measures that would be implemented after mining was completed. Significant issues concerning this project include the effects of mining activities on stream channel morphology, groundwater, agriculture, water quality and fish resources, aesthetic and recreational qualities, and riparian vegetation. Five alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of July 1993. A draft supplement to the draft EIS considered substantial revisions to the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) and additional hydrological analysis. The preferred alternative would permit limited bar skimming within the project area while minimizing impacts on the channel bed and riparian vegetation. Each of the six sites would be eligible for mining provided the Russian River topography were maintained in a manner that satisfied all resource and flood protection concerns. The preferred alternative would require the implementation of an extensive river monitoring program and the preparation of annual mining plans. Because of the significant adverse environmental impacts involved, the environmentally preferred alternative is the No Project Alternative. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft supplement as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an affordable source of high quality sand and gravel for the construction of roads, canals, dams, homes, and commercial structures; a local source of mineral aggregate is considered essential to keeping it affordable because its cost is largely determined by transportation costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project operations would create slope instability that could result in unsafe conditions during or after a seismic event. Stream degradation (bed lowering) would occur at a project site, upstream or downstream, if mining operations were to extract more gravel from the river than was annually replenished. Lowering of the groundwater tables in the aquifers that are hydraulically linked to the river would result, along with reductions in the productivity or water quality of municipal or private wells, reductions in riparian vegetation, increases in bank erosion and channel instability, reductions in the structural stability of bridges, and degradation of fishery resources. Additional adverse impacts would include the reduced survival of juvenile salmonids and aquatic invertebrates, the increased vulnerability of tule perch and outmigrating anadromous fish to predation, adversely altered views of the project area, changes in the recreational value of the river, and reductions in property values on adjacent lands.

AN - 36415588; 6680 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a section of the Wilmington Bypass on a new alignment from US Route 421 (US 421) to approximately 2,000 feet east of Interstate 40 (I-40), located in southeast North Carolina, is proposed. The project area is north of the New Hanover International Airport and the city of Wilmington. The bypass section would be a segment of the US 17 intrastate corridor, which provides the Marine Corps at Camp LeJeune with the most direct access to the Port of Wilmington and the Sunny Point Military Ocean Terminal. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of January 1995. The roadway would be a four-lane divided freeway on about 7.8 miles of new alignment. Under both of the build alternatives, the facility would provide interchanges at US 421, US 117/NC 133, and I-40. The interchange at I-40 would be at a common point near I-40 mile marker 417, located approximately 0.6 miles south of the State Route 1336 overpass of I-40. The I-40 interchange location would allow the eastern terminus of the project to meet the western terminus of the adjacent US 17 Connector. The project would bridge the Northeast Cape Fear River. The bridge would provide a 65-foot vertical clearance for vessels traveling the navigable portion of the river. A draft supplement to the draft EIS, issued in December 1996, eliminated the Northern Alternative from further consideration because of its anticipated impacts on wetlands, cultural resources, and forested lands. In its place, the draft supplement presented the Center Alternative, which traverses the injection well fields at the former Cape Industries Plant and crosses Lake Sutton at the CP&L Plant west of US 421. This final EIS identifies the Center Alternative as the preferred alternative. Its total costs are estimated at $125.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve access around the city of Wilmington. It also would have local importance as a means of relieving traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington by separating local traffic from through traffic. The project would likely benefit the regional economy by facilitating access to major industries and trade centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 20 residences and eight businesses. The alignment would cross major electric transmission lines, numerous lower voltage lines, and 16 hazardous waste sites. Water quality in surrounding streams would be temporarily degraded due to construction-related soil erosion. Chemicals and hazardous materials accidentally spilled during transport could also degrade water quality. The construction would adversely affect 86 acres of prime and unique farmland, 74 acres of upland habitat, 96 acres of wetlands, and 7,600 linear feet of floodplains. The facility would adversely affect some adjacent properties in regards to noise levels.

AN - 79552415; 9472321 AB - A great deal of interest has been generated recently in the determination of explosives and explosives by-products in exotic matrices including composts, bioslurries, and plants. The methods traditionally utilized for the analysis of organic and inorganic contaminants in these types of environmental samples are not adequate owing to the unique properties of the material being studied. The methods used to detect the nitramines and their degradation products in a variety of environmental samples requires matrix-specific sample preparation, separation by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography, and ultra-violet detection. Knowledge of the concentration of the contaminants and the molecular state of their degradation products is helpful in assessing the environmental risks associated with the contaminants as well as the design of remediation technologies. Data that are obtained using analytical methods not designed for the specific matrix encountered may lead to incorrect quantitation. Examples of remediation technologies that necessitate the analysis of other than standard matrices for explosives include composting, aerobic and anaerobic microbial degradation, and plant-assisted degradation. The toxicity and mobility of explosives in the food chain are also of interest, and analytical techniques for studying explosives in plant and animal tissues that provide valid information regarding trace levels in these matrices are also required. The report will address three important points in connection with the problem. The extraction of the contaminants from the matrix requires a different set of extraction techniques than those utilized for standard water and soil extractions.

AN - 79552156; 9472311 AB - The Department of Defense (DoD) has over 21,000 contaminated sites requiring some form of remediation. Contaminants on these sites include explosive compounds (i.e., TNT, RDX, HMX), chlorinated solvents (i.e., PCE, TCE, TCA), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (i.e., benzo-a-pyrene), and polychlorinated biphenyls (i.e., aroclors). Current technology has centered around incineration, air stripping, and the use of activated carbon. Frequently, this technology is not cost effective nor publicly acceptable. Biotreatment offers a possible alternative. Biotreatment can cost effectively eliminate contaminants and avoid the use of harsh chemicals and physical treatments. However, special care must be employed to ensure that the proper remediation system is designed and engineered to optimize clean-up and minimize costs. Unfortunately, not all bioremediation efforts have been successful. In an attempt to develop bioremediation technology from the flask (bench scale) to the field (full-scale design), many scientists and engineers have failed to understand the phenomena that influence bioremediation. Issues such as additional mass transport mechanisms/limitations, the presence of multiple phases, spatial heterogeneities, and unfavorable factors for bacterial growth represent only a few of the phenomena that can limit or complicate biodegradation. Successful bioremediation requires a complete examination of the phenomena that can be observed as the scientist and engineer progress together from the bench to the field. An excellent way to examine these phenomena is by using the conceptual scales of observation: microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale. The microscale represents the level at which chemical/microbial species and reactions can be characterized independently of any transport phenomena. These activities are those occurring at the microbial cell level and generally are the focus of bench level work. The mesoscale is the level at which transport phenomena and system geometry are first apparent, with the exclusion of advective or mixing processes. This scale represents those activities that occur at the pore channel, soil particle or microbial aggregate level. The macroscale is the scale at which you have the ability to discern advective or mixing phenomena. These activities are generally associated on a site level and are the focus of the design engineer. The critical path as bioremediation technology is developed from flask to field is to observe and understand the phenomena that exert influence at each scale of observation so that its effects can be incorporated into the final remediation design.

AN - 36410736; 6679 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of timber harvesting and related management activities in the Indian River project area of the Tongass National Forest of Alaska is proposed. The project area, which is located on Chichagof Island on the northern shore of Tenakee Inlet, includes the major watersheds of 10-Mile Creek, Indian River, and portions of the Freshwater Creek and Game Creek drainages. The City of Tenakee Springs lies within the area. Issues addressed in this draft EIS include impacts of timber harvest on subsistence, fish habitat and water quality, biodiversity and wildlife, public concerns with respect to location of a new log transfer facility, the economic benefits realized by the timber harvest, impacts on social values (particularly those associated with the residents of Tenakee Springs), and alternatives available to use of traditional clearcutting methods. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B would include the distribution of timber harvesting throughout the project area, using a landscape matrix approach to maintain levels of biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Alternative C would concentrate timber harvesting in value comparison units (VCUs) 204, 216 and 222, with additional units in VCU 220, to provide a middle volume alternative. Alternative D would include the concentration of timber harvest activities in VCUs 204, 216 and 222 to reduce impacts on residents of Tenakee Springs. Alternative E would include the distribution of timber harvesting throughout the project area, with deferral of harvest in areas of high habitat value. Alternative F would include the distribution of timber harvesting throughout the project area in order to provide a high output of timber. Alternative B was the proposed action presented during public scoping. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), timber would be made available by means of two or more sales. The preferred alternative would involve the harvesting of up to 28.7 million board feet (MMBF) of timber from 1,856 acres within an area on the northeast Chichagof Island. A total of 82 harvest units would be created. Logging systems would include 655 acres of cable logging, 121 acres of cable and helicopter logging, 990 acres of helicopter logging, and 90 acres of shovel logging. Harvest methods would include 1,173 acres of clearcut with green tree retention, 186 acres of overstory removal, 167 acres of patch clearcutting, 150 acres of group selection, and 180 acres of single tree selection. Approximately 9.5 miles of permanent road and 3.1 miles of temporary road would be constructed and 21.7 miles of road would be reconstructed to allow timber removal. One previously existing log transfer facility at Sunny Cove would be reconstructed and a floating camp would most likely be created at Corner Bay (across Tenakee Inlet). POSITIVE IMPACTS: Timber generated by the sale would boost the local and regional economies, and harvest activities would employ local residents. Direct and indirect employment resulting from the timber sale would provide 59 jobs in the area, generating an average annual wages amounting to $2.5 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, activities related to timber harvesting would affect 2.4 acres of wetland and displace 21 acres of beach fringe, two acres of estuary fringe, 37 acres of riparian habitat, 20 acres of old growth habitat, and 2,486 acres of second-growth habitat. Habitat for Sitka black-tailed deer, brown bear, river otter, marten, red squirrel, brown creeper, red-breasted sapsucker, hairy woodpecker, and bald eagle would be adversely affected. Approximately 7.7 miles of stream would be disturbed due to road construction, degrading fish habitat and water quality. Recreational resources, including opportunities for semi-primitive non-motorized and semi-primitive motorized recreational experiences, would be adversely affected.

AN - 36415908; 6666 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for the Tucson Arroyo /Arroyo Chico, the major drainage channel for watersheds within the city of Tucson, Arizona, is proposed. Flooding problems have persisted for 45 years in the Tucson area, and flooding has recently worsened as the result of increased runoff from urbanization. The Tucson Arroyo and its tributaries drain an 11.4-square-mile area in the downtown area. Although a large concrete box culvert was constructed along the Tucson Arroyo to convey floodflows through downtown Tucson, the frequency of floods that exceed the capacity of this structure is now quite high. Without any drainage improvements, the flood damage from inundation within the watershed would be $2.1 million annually. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan (Alternative 4) would involve the construction of two detention basin complexes, one on a public golf course (Randolph Park South) in the headwaters of the Arroyo Chico drainage area and the other on the Tucson Arroyo/Arroyo Chico in the approximate center of the watershed (Park Avenue). These basins would intercept runoff from Arroyo Chico Wash, Railroad Wash, and interior drainage from the project area. The Randolph basins would be interconnected with buried concrete pipes up to 42 inches in diameter to balance the storage between the basins and allow the basins to be filled at a similar rate. This plan would protect approximately 1,100 structures in the floodplain and eliminate 90 percent of inundation damage. In addition, the plan would include provisions for the restoration of 6.4 acres of desert upland habitat and a two-acre shorebird wading pond within the Park Avenue basin complex. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the recommended plan would substantially reduce flood-related damages in the Tucson area, eliminating $2.8 million in average annual damages. The annual cost of the recommended plan would be $2.2 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.3. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would result in the removal of 6.8 acres of riparian habitat. The removal of vegetation would temporarily increase sedimentation.

AN - 36413650; 6662 AB - PURPOSE: The cleanup of petroleum contamination at Avila Beach, located on the northern end of San Luis Bay near Point San Luis in southern California, is proposed. The Unocal Avila Terminal facility has been used for petroleum storage and transfer activities since 1910. The facility operates a network of underground pipelines that extend from the Unocal pier west of San Luis Obispo Creek to a tank farm located on a bluff overlooking the town. Historic leaks in the pipelines and possibly the tank farm have resulted in petroleum contamination of the soil and groundwater beneath the beach, roads, and commercial and residential properties within the town. Five pipelines are currently active, and another five to ten are abandoned in place under Front Street. There are no known leaks in the active pipelines at this time. In 1994, a cleanup and abatement order was issued to Unocal requiring them clean up soil and groundwater to specified levels and to submit a soil and groundwater cleanup plan, an environment and health risk assessment, and quarterly monitoring reports. Eight alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Unocal's cleanup actions would include solidification of the beach along both sides of the pier, biosparging and vapor recovery of the plumes under Front Street and north of Front Street, and biosparging portions of the west beach plume. Limited excavation of the plume would occur immediately adjacent to the ocean on the east beach area and at one location adjacent to Front Street on the east end of the beach. Horizontal sparge wells would be placed under the plume in the Front Street area with a compressed air manifold running back to the Unocal tank farm. The compressors would be located at the tank farm with controllers for sparge pressure. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would involve the complete excavation of contaminated soils beneath Avila Beach; the excavation would be followed by biosparging. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce the levels of subsurface hydrocarbon contamination to levels that were protective of public health and surface water quality standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During the active periods of the cleanup, local residents and businesses would be adversely affected. The project would include the disruption of traffic, the loss of recreational beach use, elevated noise and vibration levels, the generation of dust and air pollutants, adverse odors, and potential safety impacts as the plume was disturbed during solidification or excavation. Short-term erosion and sedimentation would occur as a result of excavation.

AN - 16354644; 6657 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately 7.7-mile segment of US Route 202 (US 202) from just south of PA 63 in Upper Gwynedd Township in Montgomery County to the existing PA 611 bypass in Doylestown Township in Bucks County, located in southeastern Pennsylvania, is proposed. US 202 is a highway of local and regional importance in the Delaware Valley. Within Pennsylvania, it forms a 59-mile-long circumferential corridor around the Philadelphia metropolitan area between the Delaware and New Jersey state lines, and connects the county seats in three adjacent counties. The project area has experienced a dramatic increase in population in the past forty years, and the expanding residential and commercial development has increased congestion on US 202, which is the major north-south route in the area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. One build alternative would involve the widening of Upper State/Shady Retreat Road (State Route 2012 in Montgomery County and a local road in Bucks County) and also widening existing US 202 to five lanes. A second build alternative (the preferred alternative) would involve the relocating of US 202 as a limited-access expressway from a point just south of PA 63 in Upper Gwynedd Township in Montgomery County to PA 611 Bypass in Doylestown Township in Bucks County. A third build alternative would involve the widening of Upper State Road to five lanes from PA 309 in Montgomeryville to a point north of County Line Road near Detweiler Road. Just north of that point, the free-access section would connect to the new alignment limited-access expressway corridor and continue to the existing interchange at PA 611. All three of the build alternatives would require improvements to up to 12 off-line intersections. The estimated total cost of the preferred alternative is $225.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would help to improve local and regional traffic flows, to alleviate existing roadway deficiencies, to reduce congestion, and to reduce safety risks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 37 residences and 18 commercial and industrial establishments, the conversion of 137.2 acres of productive agricultural lands, the filling of 6.2 acres of high-quality wetlands, the fragmentation of 14 wetlands, and potential adverse impacts on eight historic sites.

Preparation date: November 5, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WISCONSIN STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 29, IH 94 TO STH 29/CTH J INTERCHANGE, CHIPPEWA AND DUNN COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 16345988; 6661 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 to a four-lane, divided facility between Interstate 94 (I-94) near Elk Mound, Wisconsin, and County Trunk Highway (CTH) J east of Chippewa Falls, located in western Wisconsin, is proposed. The project would begin at I-94 in eastern Dunn County, cross the Chippewa River, and end at the existing STH 29 and CTH J intersection in south-central Chippewa County, a distance of about 21 miles. STH 29 functions as the primary, and most heavily traveled, route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Green Bay to the east with I-94 and the Twin Cities to the west. Key issues identified in the scoping process include crossing the Chippewa River dells area, the type of facility to be built, wetlands, bald eagle nesting sites, the use of public recreation land, noise, aesthetics, impacts to surface water and groundwater resources, and socioeconomic impacts. Thirteen alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under all build alternatives, the project would include a limited-access facility with grade-separated interchanges on the east of the Chippewa River. Overpasses and underpasses would be provided where necessary to maintain local circulation. West of the river, interchanges would be built where traffic warrants them; other access would be at-grade. Direct driveway and farm accesses would be eliminated or combined where possible. In order to improve operations at the I-94 /STH 29 interchange, the build alternatives would include realignment of both STH 40 and US 12 approximately one mile east of the interchange; there are two additional build alternatives for this realignment. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would consist of a corridor with segments on the existing alignment and south of the existing alignment west of the river. East of the river, the corridor would bypass Chippewa Falls and terminate at the existing four-lane freeway near Townline Road. The project costs would be $68.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the corridor, which carries a high volume of truck traffic, would save travel time and reduce accidents. A more efficient highway network would provide statewide economic benefits, as transportation costs and access to high-quality four-lane highways are factors affecting business location decisions. Tourism could increase as tourists gained better access to vacation and recreation areas. The ultimate impact of these economic benefits would be to generate more jobs and income for Wisconsin residents. A bypass of Chippewa Falls would reduce congestion for local traffic as well as eliminate delays for through traffic. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would adversely affect 53.1 wetland acres, 215.9 upland woodlot acres, 664 agricultural acres, seven cultural resource sites, five hazardous waste sites, and two farmsteads. Relocation would be required for 39 residential properties and five commercial properties. Some alternatives would cross Hallie Town Park with main-line traffic, segmenting the contiguous area available for park use. In addition, some alternatives would adversely affect the Chippewa River dells, the largest remaining dells in western Wisconsin and a valuable visual resource.

It's an ideal example of American technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The bridge, located adjacent to Lock and Dam No. 15, consists of two riveted Pratt through trusses, five riveted Baltimore trusses, and a camelback center-pivoted swing truss. The paper discusses the unique problems encountered during construction of the bridge, as well as its upgradings and maintenance. Many projects have been undertaken in the 100 years since the completion of the bridge. In each case, the structure was designed as near state of the art, but with rapidly increasing loading of the equipment operated over the bridge, modifications have been necessary to strengthen the spans and floor systems, as well as nearly all the other components of the structure. Several changes also have been required due to the Mississippi River Navigation projects and the increased highway traffic. Repairs to combat the aging process were done annually as a routine matter. The bridge was the first major accomplishment of Chicago engineer Ralph Modjeski, who subsequently established a reputation as one of the country's leading bridge designers.

AN - 36403971; 6647 AB - PURPOSE: The modernization and enhancement of three bridges connecting Staten Island, New York, with New Jersey is proposed. Each bridge was constructed in the late 1920s and early 1930s and provides two travel lanes in both directions; each continues to play a vital role in the regional transportation system. The Goethals Bridge crosses the Arthur Kill to connect I-278 on Staten Island's north shore with I-95 and Routes 1 and 9 in New Jersey. The Outerbridge Crossing carries Route 440, Staten Island's principal north-south route, from the southern tip of Staten Island across the Arthur Kill to the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike. The Bayonne Bridge crosses the Kill Van Kull on Staten Island's north shore to connect Routes 440 and I-278 with the recently completed Route 169 in Bayonne. Traffic on the bridges has increased dramatically in recent years largely as a result of Staten Island's population increase. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under all three of the action alternatives, the project would involve improvements to the Goethals Bridge. Under the preferred alternative (Goethals South Crossing Alternative), the project would involve the construction of a new three-lane bridge parallel to and immediately south of the existing Goethals Bridge for eastbound traffic; the rehabilitation and modification of the existing bridge to three lanes for use by westbound traffic, the expansion of the toll plaza, and the inclusion of a walkway/bikeway on the new bridge's south side. The span would be wide enough to accommodate the future introduction of light rail transit, a bus lane or a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane across the bridge. The estimated construction cost is $160.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgrade of the existing bridge would increase safety for vehicular traffic and reduce roadway congestion and delays. The upgrade would also integrate the bridge system with HOV facilities that are proposed for the New Jersey Turnpike and Staten Island Expressway. The project would support 3,340 construction and other jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction would adversely affect 4.8 acres of wetlands and adversely affect the existing Goethals Bridge and the Staten Island Railroad, which are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Water quality would suffer as a result of increased turbidity and suspended particulates during construction; the loss of bottom habitat for benthic communities would also occur.

AN - 36403404; 6635 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan for the Green Brook sub-basin of the Raritan River basin, located in central New Jersey, is proposed. Green Brook, a tributary of the Raritan River, has experienced frequent and sometimes devastating floods from thunderstorms and tropical storms. The plan recommended in the final EIS would consist of a system of levees and floodwalls in order to provide protection for the lower portion of the basin only. Also under consideration was a more comprehensive basin-wide solution which would have provided protection in the remaining upper portion of the Green Brook basin and the Stony Brook portion of the basin, but this plan was not recommended because the additional flood protection was not economically justified. The plan presented in the draft supplement to the final EIS of August 1980 was a revised version of that more comprehensive plan. The revised plan in the lower portion of the basin would involve the construction of approximately 66,540 linear feet of levees, 11,210 feet of floodwalls, ten bridge replacements, one bridge removal, and eight closure structures in the lower portion of the basin. The flood protection in the upper basin would include two dry detention basins at the Sky Top and Oak Way sites, some 12,400 feet of channel modifications, some 6,865 feet of channel clearing, and one bridge replacement. The flood protection in the Stony Creek portion of the basin would consist of 4,970 feet of channel modifications, and the replacement of the Grove Street Bridge. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $310.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would provide for 150-year level of protection of land uses within the lower Green Brook sub-basin and also provide lesser levels of protection in the upper and Stony Brook portions of the basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, approximately 167 acres of habitat would be adversely affected; the majority of the impacts would occur in forested wetland, upland forest, gravel-bottomed streams, emergent wetland, and mud-bottomed streams. The construction of levees would result in the filling of floodplain areas thereby adversely affecting habitat and the hydrological setting. The channel modification would adversely affect stream habitat. Aquatic species would suffer due to alteration of in-stream habitat and removal of vegetative species which provide shade for the streams. Vegetation and wildlife would be adversely affected by the clearing for construction activities and the development of detention structures, levees, and floodwalls.

AN - 36413107; 6631 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Lost Trail Ski Area in the Bitterroot National Forest, located in western Montana, is proposed. The existing 658-acre facility is located at the crest of the Bitterroot Mountains on the divide between southwestern Montana and east central Idaho. The facility, which is operated by Lost Trail Ski Area, Inc., consists of two chair lifts, one day lodge, a ski school, and 28 ski runs. In order to remain competitive with other operations in the area, the Lost Trail facility needs to offer short lift lines and affordable rates. Key issues identified during the scoping process include methods of linking existing and new ski areas; and effects of ski area expansion on water quality in the East Fork of Camp Creek, area wetlands, and the Lost Trail Bog. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative A) would involve approving a master development plan for the ski area; issuing a 40-year permit to Lost Trail Ski Area; expanding the permit area by 600 acres, including 20 acres within the Salmon-Challis National Forest; and constructing two chair lifts, a surface tow, 15 ski runs, a ski lodge, a 350-foot access road to the lodge, and a warming hut facility. The proposed action would also require an amendment to the forest plan, reclassifying 465 acres of semi-primitive recreational lands and 680 acres of scenic lands to lands with a developed recreational emphasis. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would be a more aggressive development plan, providing seven more ski runs than under the proposed action and increasing facility capacity from 800 to 2,125 skiers at one time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase capacity, improve skier satisfaction, meet anticipated demand, and strengthen the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, streamflow would be reduced by three percent, old-growth forests would be reduced by three percent, the habitat of selected cutthroat trout and boreal owls would be adversely affected, and roughly 0.27 acres of wetlands would be lost. The clearing of vegetation would accelerate erosion. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-522).

AN - 16352180; 6626 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood protection measures in the south Sacramento area, located in north-central California, is proposed. The study area, which extends from the Sacramento Valley to the lower foothills of the Sierra Nevada, is part of the larger watershed for Morrison Creek. Streams in these foothills flow west, join Morrison Creek and its tributaries, and drain into Beach-Stone Lakes on the west. Part of the study area lies with the Sacramento city limits while the rest lies in areas to the south and east of the city. The study area includes Morrison, Elder, Unionhouse, and Florin creeks as well as the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the North Beach Lake levee. The area has a long history of flooding during a heavy rainfall, and recent floods have damaged residences, businesses, and agricultural land and have disrupted transportation and public facilities. Local runoff from the Morrison Creek watershed causes flooding due to limited channel capacities and bridge restrictions and contributes to the flood volume in the Beach-Stone Lakes area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The NED plan would involve constructing sheetpile walls or floodwalls on levees or incised channel banks along portions of Morrison, Elder, Florin, and Unionhouse creeks; retrofitting bridges along those same creeks; raising and widening the North Beach Lake levee from the Sacramento River to Unionhouse Creek and the west levee of Morrison Creek from Unionhouse Creek to the Union Pacific Railroad; constructing floodwall or sheetpile wall on a portion of the North Beach Lake levee immediately east of Interstate 5; placing a stop log structure at the railroad crossing at Morrison Creek; and constructing a sheetpile wall on the west side of the Morrison Creek levee between the railroad tracks and Franklin Boulevard. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and associated economic losses in the Morrison Creek watershed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the permanent loss of 0.11 acres of riparian scrub and 0.23 acres of emergent marsh, disturbing the habitats of Swainson's hawk, burrowing owl, Sanford's arrowhead, and northwestern pond turtle. Some potential hazardous waste contamination at North Beach Lake would exist. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 16342852; 6622 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the master plan for the management of Jennings Randolph Lake, located in northwestern Maryland and northeastern West Virginia, is proposed. The 942-acre lake is located along the North Branch of the Potomac River, eight miles upstream of Bloomington, Maryland. The dam at Jennings Randolph controls a drainage area of 263 square miles and is a key part of the North Branch Potomac River floodbasin control system. The existing master plan was developed in 1973 and does not address changes that occurred since completion of the project. The water quality in the lake and downstream of the dam has significantly improved, thereby increasing recreational opportunities. The Corps of Engineers operates and maintains five recreational sites at the lake: a campground, two overlooks, a picnic area, and a boat launch. In addition, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources is presently constructing a boat launch facility. The revised master plan would consider what additional projects would be economically and environmentally feasible. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan would involve upgrading facilities and building a swimming pool at the Robert W. Craig Campground, developing alternative locations for marinas at Hogback Ridge and the Maryland Boat Launch, and constructing cabins in the Barnum Area and Hogback Ridge. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recreation experience at the lake would be enhanced by improving aesthetics, boating, fishing, and wildlife habitat, and part of the recreational needs of western Maryland and northern West Virginia would be fulfilled. Residential property values could increase slightly. The increased potential for recreation visitors to the lake could attract new businesses to the area and create new employment opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction machinery would generate a temporary increase in noise during scheduled relocation of facilities, creating a minor, short-term disturbance to recreationists at the lake. Recreation at various facilities would be temporarily disrupted during the construction phase. The construction and development would require the removal of 140 acres of forest.

Three types of materials that ranged in their ability to sorb organic solutes were tested: stainless steel, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These test pieces were exposed to two aqueous test solutions: one solution contained three volatile organic compounds and one nitroaromatic compound, and the other solution contained four pesticides of varying hydrophobicity. Also, three types of polymeric tubing were exposed to pesticide solutions. Generally, contact times for sorption and desorption were 10 minutes and 24 hours. The test results indicate that, generally, organic contaminants are removed from these materials simply by washing with a hot detergent solution and rinsing with hot water. The exceptions were low-density polyethylene tubing that was exposed to a pesticide test solution for 24 hours and allowed to desorb for 24 hours, and PTFE that was exposed to volatile organics for 24 hours. For these, a hot detergent water wash and rinse followed by oven drying at -105 degrees C was the most effective treatment. With this treatment, VOCs were not detected desorbing from the PTFE, and pesticide contamination desorbing from LDPE was substantially reduced. Solvent rinsing did not improve removal of VOCs and only marginally improved removal of pesticides from LDPE. JF - Special Report - Corps of Engineers, U. S.

In the first year, the efficiency of various decontamination protocols was tested using small test pieces of materials that are commonly used in groundwater sampling devices. Those tests showed that a hot detergent wash and rinse followed by hot air drying (105 degrees C) was the most effective decontamination protocol. In these studies, two groundwater sampling devices, a bailer and a bladder pump, were used to sample groundwater that was contaminated with either trichloroethylene (TCE), munitions, or pesticides. These studies showed that a hot detergent wash and hot water rinse followed by hot air drying is an effective method for decontaminating these sampling devices.

AN - 36412348; 6608 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access, divided highway to the north and west of the city of Fredericksburg, located in northeastern Virginia, is proposed. The roadway would be approximately 9 to 14 miles long and require a bridge across the Rappahannock River. The project area extends from US 1 in the vicinity of I-95 and Route 627 in Stafford County to Route 3 in the vicinity of the intersection with Route 610 in Spotsylvania County. The roadway would provide an additional north-south travel corridor in the region, relieving current and projected congestion on I-95, US 17, and Route 3. The Fredericksburg area is one of Virginia's fastest growing regions. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Regional Build Alternative would consist of five corridor options. Corridors 1 through 4 would be similar in that they would all tie in to the I-95/US 1 interchange in Stafford County, in the vicinity of the Mine Road Extension/airport access. From this connection, the four corridors would all proceed southwesterly to a crossing of US 17, continue in a southerly direction to a crossing of the Rappahannock River, and then connect to Route 3. The Corridor 5 option would consist of three components: a connecting roadway between I-95/US 1 and US 17, a Route 3 bypass with new interchanges on I-95, and additional lanes of collector-distributor roads along the portion I-95 in and to the north of Fredericksburg. The estimated costs of the build alternatives are $79.1 million to $122.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would benefit through travel in the region and improve safety and efficiency. It would also provide for improved intermodal linkages to promote economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 78 residences, 13 businesses, 16.5 acres of wetlands, 322 acres of prime farmland, and 126.4 acres of likely habitat of the small whorled pogonia. In addition, up to 17 streams would be crossed, and 255 residences would experience increased noise levels. Some of the corridors would require the taking of property from the Banks Ford and Lick Run historic districts.

Policy issues, case example applications of procedures, a risk-based analysis computer program, and levee certification criteria for regulatory floodplain management actions were covered in the sessions. The workshop provided a forum for exchange of ideas and perspectives on ongoing risk-based analysis for flood damage reduction studies. It also provided an opportunity to assess the progress made singe the Montecello, MN, Riverine Levee Freeboard Workshop, held in 1991. The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) review the present policy and procedures for performing risk-based analysis studies; 2) identify key issues and discuss their means of resolution; and, 3) define and discuss Corps procedures and requirements for levee certification.

Coastal wetland areas on each Great Lake expand or contract in response to the long-term water level fluctuations. The water level of the St. Marys River, a connecting channel between Lakes Superior and Huron, is largely controlled by the level of Lake Huron. The St. Marys River wetlands expand and contract in a fashion similar to wetlands on the lakes. Data on St. Marys River wetland areas were derived from historical aerial photographs and placed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the effects of water level fluctuations. The GIS was used to measure wetland area changes between the years for which photographic data were available. Use of GIS allowed quantification of wetland area changes, estimation of response rates and description of inter-class transfer dynamics, for five coastal wetland classes influenced by long-term water level fluctuations.

ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY TO STOCKTON PHASE III (JOHN F. BALDWIN) NAVIGATION CHANNEL PROJECT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406166; 6600 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement in methods of transporting petroleum and petroleum products to refineries and terminals in the North Bay Area of San Francisco Bay, located in northern California, is proposed. The existing John F. Baldwin Channel is no longer adequate to accommodate modern deep-draft vessels efficiently and cost-effectively, in part because it contains sharp turns that are increasingly difficult to maneuver against strong winds, waves and currents. Fully-laden oil tankers are unable to navigate the Phase III portion of the navigation channel. As a result, cargo is transferred to smaller vessels in San Francisco Bay, a process called "lightering." In addition, shallow maneuvering areas near several refineries and marine terminals located along the channel in the northern part of the county increase the risk of potential grounding or collision of vessels. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. One of the action alternatives would involve deepening 16 miles of existing navigation channels to a depth of 45 feet, but this alternative was rejected out of concerns that deeper channels could result in increased saltwater intrusion into the delta, thereby contaminating drinking water supplies. The preferred alternative, as proposed by Wickland Pipelines Limited Liability Corporation, would provide a new marine terminal in Richmond to off-load and store petroleum liquids. It would deliver those liquids via a combination of new and existing pipelines to the same end-users that would be served by the channel deepening proposal as well as other facilities in northern Contra Costa County and southern Solano County. The west end of the pipeline would commence within the Richmond city limits at a new deep-water wharf to be constructed at Point Molate, and extend from the wharf to the Richmond shoreline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would eliminate 90 percent of the current "lightering" of crude oil in San Francisco Bay, reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline damage or failure could result from earthquakes or downslope creep of unstable natural or man-made slopes. The nearshore construction would interfere with the migration of anadromous fish.

Preparation date: September 24, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LITTLE ROCK MINE PROJECT, GRANT COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36405099; 6594 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by the Phelps Dodge Mining Company of an open-pit copper mine, located in southwestern New Mexico, is proposed. The 600-acre project area is located seven miles south of Silver City, along the northeastern flank of Big Burro Mountain. The area consists of 164 acres of patented mining claims for the Tyrone Mine site, which is also operated by the applicant, 390 acres of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and 46 acres of the Gila National Forest administered by the Forest Service. Issues identified during the scoping process include the quality and quantity of post-mining water generated by the open pit, and the effects of the haul road and California Gulch diversion on surface water and riparian areas. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would involve the construction, operation, and reclamation of the mine pit, including the diversion of stream water in California Gulch and the creation of a pit lake after mining operations have ceased. Groundwater in-flow to the pit bottom would be pumped from the pit and discharged to either the Number 1X Tailing Dam or used for process make-up water while mining is in progress. The applicant estimates that over a two- to four-year period, 60 million tons of waste would removed from the pit and up to 100 million tons of ore would be mined and processed at existing permitted sites at the Tyrone facility. The project would require the construction of a haul road from the new mine site, across Deadman Canyon, to the Tyrone processing facilities. Overburden or other inert, nonmineralized materials would be stockpiled for potential use in reclamation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The extraction and processing of copper ore from the Little Rock Mine would extend operations at the Tyrone site for approximately two to four years, providing employment, tax revenues, and local economic benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 230 acres would be disturbed under the proposed action, resulting in an increased potential for soil erosion and a loss of soil productivity. The diversion of California Gulch would result in altered flows in either Whitewater Canyon, a tributary to Whitewater Canyon, or Deadman Canyon. Construction and mining activities would adversely affect up to four historic and two prehistoric sites.

AN - 16356680; 6591 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 19.8 miles of New Mexico State Highway 126 (NM 126), also known as Forest Highway 12, located in northern New Mexico, is proposed. The project would begin one mile southeast of Fenton Lake at the end of the paved portion of NM 126 and run generally northwest to the paved portion of the road beginning 8.5 miles east of Cuba at Senorito Divide. This section of NM 126 does not meet current design standards for a state highway as it consists primarily of dirt with some gravel and the surface condition depends on the level of maintenance. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would involve the improvement of the existing road to provide a paved, all-weather surface consistent with Federal Highway Administration guidelines for low-speed recreational roads and a traffic volume of 650 vehicles per day. The alignment of the improved highway section would closely follow that of the existing NM 126 alignment. The maximum design speed would be 30 miles-per-hour, with lower design speeds in sections characterized by difficult terrain. Also under consideration is the reconstruction and graveling with a stabilized surface. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved road would decrease the long-term environmental degradation caused by the existing road, meet public needs and expectations with respect to state highway travel, accommodate automobile and truck traffic safely and efficiently, and reduce maintenance requirements demanded of the state authorities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would displace some wetland and riparian acreage and adversely affect habitat of Mexican spotted owl and peregrine falcon. Some habitat for other wildlife would be lost. The bridge construction and fill work would result in some visual impacts. The improvements could adversely affect the Fenton Lake State Park and Wildlife Refuge. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.).

Preparation date: September 15, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREYBULL VALLEY DAM AND RESERVOIR, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36410691; 6585 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an off-channel dam and reservoir to supply irrigation water to farmers in the lower Greybull River Valley, located in northwestern Wyoming, is proposed. The project would provide the lower Greybull River Valley agricultural community with supplemental irrigation by increasing water yield of the system during droughts, increasing efficiency of use of stored water to avoid waste, and providing timely delivery of water to irrigators. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered in the draft EIS of December 1996. Under Alternative C, the Blackstone Gulch Dam and Reservoir would be a 115-foot-high, zoned-earth structure at the mouth of the Blackstone Gulch. The crest length of the dam would be approximately 1,400 feet at an elevation of 5,190 feet. The reservoir would have a capacity of approximately 30,000 acre-feet (af) with a full pool surface acreage of about 700 acres. Although the Army Corp of Engineers does not identify a preferred alternative, the Bureau of Land Management's preferred alternative is Alternative B (the Lower Roach Gulch alternative). The Lower Roach Gulch dam would be a 150-foot-high, zoned-earth embankment dam with a crest elevation of 4,950 feet at the mouth of an unnamed gulch west of Roach Gulch. The dam would be approximately 1,720 feet long with a crest width of 25 feet. Water for the reservoir is to be diverted from the Greybull River and delivered to the reservoir via a five-mile long supply canal. Water would be released from the dam back into the Greybull River through the existing channel armored to prevent erosion. The proposal would include a minimum or sediment pool within the reservoir of approximately 2,500 af. At the normal high-water line, the reservoir would store a total of 33,470 af, inundating approximately 700 acres. The total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $43.2 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the reservoir would provide a firm yield of irrigation water to minimize shortages for current and anticipated future farming practices in the Greybull Valley Irrigation District. The project would be built over a two-year construction period, with total direct and indirect employment increases associated with the project of 235 in the first construction year and 332 in the second. Construction of the reservoir would affect long-term employment and population in the area. The increase in agricultural production would result in an estimated 88 new jobs in the regional economy. Total long-term personal income increases attributable to the project would be approximately $2.9 million annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although public access would be provided to the reservoir, minimal recreational facilities are anticipated, and no plans exist for the state to stock fish due to extreme reservoir level fluctuations. About 200 acres of private land would need to be acquired for dam construction and access to borrow areas. About 715 acres of public lands would be necessary for construction access, borrow areas, dam construction access, and reservoir inundated lands. Approximately 28.3 acres of wetlands may be affected. Short-term increases in noise levels and traffic hazards, and negative effects on air and water quality, would be experienced during construction.

Preparation date: September 11, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WOODROW WILSON BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT STUDY, INTERSTATE 95 FROM TELEGRAPH ROAD TO MARYLAND ROUTE 210, CITY OF ALEXANDRIA AND FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, MARYLAND, AND WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. AN - 16345890; 6582 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Woodrow Wilson bridge crossing the Potomac River, a project that would affect the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland, is proposed. The Interstate 95 (I-95) corridor, in addition to being the major north-south corridor from Florida to Maine in the Washington, District of Columbia, area, serves as the eastern half of the Capital Beltway. The existing bridge is 90 feet wide and approximately 5,900 feet long. It has a 222-foot drawspan, with a 50-foot vertical clearance over the river's navigation channel in the closed portion. Maryland maintains the bridge, Virginia furnishes all the electric power and water service, and the District of Columbia operates the drawspan and maintains the machinery. The bridge was designed to carry 75,000 vehicles per day. The intense land development and increased travel demand in the Washington metropolitan area since the bridge opened has resulted in current daily traffic counts averaging 160,000 vehicles. The study corridor for the currently proposed project extends from Telegraph Road in Virginia to Route 210 (Indian Head Highway) in Maryland. A draft supplement (issued in January 1996) to the draft EIS considered a revised set of six build alternatives, developed by a multi-jurisdictional coordination committee formed after the issuance of the draft EIS. Alternative 2 would replace the existing bridge with a tunnel for both eastbound and westbound traffic. The tunnel would be 7,500 feet long and contain four tubes. Alternative 3A would replace the existing bridge with a new drawbridge built 30 feet south of the existing bridge and a new tunnel built 60 feet south of the new bridge. Alternative 4A would replace the existing bridge with two parallel drawbridges, each 6,640 feet long. Alternative 4B would involve the construction of a double-deck swingspan bridge, to be built 200 feet south of the existing bridge; both the upper and lower decks of this new bridge would swing open to allow the passage of marine vessels. Alternative 5 would replace the existing bridge with a new high-level bridge 12,040 feet long without a movable span. A second draft supplement considered modified versions of Alternative 3A and Alternative 4A. Both revisions would involve changing the proposed new bridge from a moveable-span structure with a 71-foot clearance over the navigational channel to a fixed bridge with a 135-foot clearance. The preferred alternative is Alternative 4A; its total estimated cost is $1.58 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bridge or tunnel improvements would alleviate problems caused by one of the weakest links in the I-95 system, which constitutes the major north-south transportation facility for the East Coast. Current and future inadequacies in traffic capacity at the crossing would be eliminated. Air quality would improve due to easing of traffic movements. The preferred alternative would provide the highest level of traffic handling capacity at the lowest cost. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the acquisition of 21.6 hectares of land. The selection of the existing bridge alignment in combination with a new bridge or the tunnel alternatives would result in the displacement of 338 residences and could result in the displacement of 12 businesses. All build alternatives would result in the taking of parklands. Wetlands and floodplains associated with the Potomac River would be adversely affected under all of the alternatives. Numerous sensitive receptors would be subject to noise levels in excess of federal standards. The preferred alternative would adversely affect three properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Four submerged archaeological sites could be adversely affected.

Preparation date: September 5, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER GUADALUPE RIVER FEASIBILITY STUDY, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36413052; 6576 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood protection measures along five miles of the Guadalupe River between the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge crossing and Blossom Hill Road, located in western California, is proposed. Over 7,500 residential and commercial structures lie within the 100-year floodplain in the study area. Average annual damages exceed $19 million. Flood protection measures considered included storage on upstream reservoirs, channel widening, bypass channels, levees, floodwalls and nonstructural measures. Under the Selected Plan, minimum stem capacity downstream of Canoas Creek would be increased to 12,000 cubic feet per second. Improvements on the main stem would include replacement of four bridges and implementation of a combination of low floodwalls and bank widening works. The downstream reach of Ross would be channelized, and new culverts and floodwalls would be placed along Canoas Creek to address backwater effects from the mainstem Guadalupe. More than 6,600 structures would be removed from the 100-year floodplain. The first project cost of the selected plan is estimated at $141.5 million, resulting in an average annual cost of $12.4 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the plan is 1.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would reduce flood damage affecting structures and their contents and result in emergency flood response savings, flood insurance administrative cost savings, savings of costs associated with current channel maintenance activities, and advanced bridge replacement benefits. Net annual benefits for the selected alternative would amount to approximately $11.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 164 acres would be required for implementation of the selected plan. The displacement of 33 residential buildings and 19 commercial buildings would result, and five neighborhood bridges would be removed and replaced. The selected alternative would result in displacement of 27.5 acres of habitat, including 22.4 acres of riparian forest, 3.6 acres of urban forest and 1.5 acres of wetland, all of which would be replanted. One archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would lie within the area of potential disturbance, but that site has already been disturbed.

This research effort is a demonstration project designed to assess the feasibility of, and to develop guidance for, selection and implementation of natural attenuation of explosives as a possible remediation alternative for groundwater and soils. LAAP is a government owned facility located 22 miles east of Shreveport, LA. The 14, 974 acre plant manufactured high explosives (TNT and RDX) and load and pack ammunition items between 1942 and 1995. As part of the manufacturing activities, 16 unlined ponds were dug in fine grained silty-sands to contain the wastewater contaminated with TNT and RDX. These ponds covered an area of approximately 25 acres and received explosive-laden water sporadically between 1942 and 1981. LAAP was selected for the natural attenuation project because the source of contamination has been removed, ten years of annual ground water quality data exists, and 71 monitoring wells are installed on the site. Of the 71 existing wells, 30 were selected for a two year sampling program. These 30 wells were sampled and analyzed for explosives monthly from February through August 1996 and will be monitored quarterly through 1998. Preliminary examination of plume maps revealed that RDX has migrated farther than TNT in spite of the greater aqueous solubility of TNT. This observation supports the case that natural attenuation of TNT is occurring at LAAP.

The site was closed in 1980. It was not until 1988 that the site was placed in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Priority List when leachate runoff into a nearby creek was discovered and contaminants were detected in groundwater and surface water. Chlorinated solvents and simple aromatics were commonly manifested. Treatment technologies for the prevention of further migration of contaminants into the environment are currently under evaluation by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Baltimore. Occasional failures of the current air stripper system to meet effluent concentrations have occurred, and in accordance with the Record of Decision, an advanced oxidation process (AOP) system should be evaluated as a potential replacement of the air stripping unit.

Interpretation of fate processes, especially equilibrium partitioning, is confounded by the ready transformation of TNT to mono and diamino products. The objectives of this study were to demonstrate the presence of the Fe+2 abiotic reduction pathway in soils, investigate the pH dependence of the process, and investigate the relationship between aerobic TNT transformations and soil components. Effects of pH on abiotic transformations of TNT were examined in buffered batch tests with montmorillonite and Fe+2. Results indicated that TNT was rapidly reduced to monoamino transformation products under abiotic conditions, with the rate of reduction increasing as pH increased. Recoveries of unlabeled TNT and transformation products ranged from 30 to 50 percent, but radioisotope tests showed complete recovery of (super 14) C, indicating that significant quantities of unextractable or unknown transformation products were produced. Until these transformation products are identified, mass balances for TNT will not be possible, even in simple environmental systems without the use of (super 14) C.

The Tri-Service Site Characterization and Analysis Penetrometer System (SCAPS) has been developed to reduce the time and cost required for site characterization. Sensors have been developed for a variety of contaminants of concern to the Department of Defense. The Hydrosparge Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) groundwater sensing system has been developed and was demonstrated at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD, in August 1995. The Hydrosparge is capable of accessing groundwater, sparging VOC contaminants in situ, and analyzing the contaminant concentrations using a field portable ion trap mass spectrometer. During the 7-day demonstration at Building 525, APG, a total of 29 SCAPS penetrations were performed: 6 stratigraphic penetrations and 23 Hydrosparge penetrations. The results obtained with the SCAPS in situ technique were verified by collecting groundwater samples and analysis of the verification samples by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8260. Results of verification sample analyses indicated a strong linear relationship with EPA Methods. The SCAPS Hydrosparge deployment at Building 525, APG, demonstrated the rapid site characterization capabilities of the SCAPS VOC sensor. JF - Technical Report EL (Vicksburg, Miss.)

Intensive sampling was conducted over short distances using a 6-m square grid (36-sq m) pattern including two target tanks. Sixteen grids were installed. Four area-integrated surface samples were formed into piles, one in each quadrant of each grid, using a circular pattern that included about 10% of the top 5 cm of the quadrant. After in-situ homogenization of a pile, several random aliquots were combined to form a representative sample. Replicates were collected to assess the representativeness achieved. In addition, grid composites were prepared by combining equal portions of the four subgrid samples for each of sixteen grids. In nine of the subgrids, a second area integrated sample was prepared. On-site analysis showed concentrations of HMX ranging from as high as 1640 mg/kg near one target to 2.1 mg/kg at a distance of 15 m from the target. On the other hand, TNT concentrations were much lower than would be expected based on the 70:30 composition ratio of HMX to TNT in the melt-cast explosive used on site. A colorimetric method, originally developed to analyze for RDX, was found to provide concentration estimates for HMX that were in excellent agreement with laboratory results. Spatial heterogeneity of HMX concentrations was large on both short- and mid-range scales and this factor dominated the overall uncertainty associated with site characterization. Relatively minor uncertainties were due to analytical error. JF - Special Report - Corps of Engineers, U. S.

AN - 36414852; 6572 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, fully controlled highway to replace existing US 71 connecting DeQueen, Arkansas, and Interstate 40 near Alma, Arkansas, is proposed. The existing US 71 is a two-lane highway extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana. The US 71 highway corridor is one of 21 high-priority corridors in the National Highway System. The 500-mile Shreveport to Kansas City corridor is one of the longest corridors in the system. The project examined in this final EIS would be 122 miles in length, beginning in Sevier County at the crossing of US 70 just east of DeQueen and extending north to the existing interchange of I-540 and I-40 in Crawford County. Throughout the proposed route, the highway would pass through forest and farm landscapes, would bypass the many rural communities along US 71, would cross the mountains of the Ouachita National Forest, and would also cross the Ouachita, Fourche LaFave, Poteau, Petit Jean, and Arkansas rivers. The highway would be built to interstate standards with a design speed of 70 miles per hour. The possibility of building an additional two lanes adjacent to existing US 71 was investigated but rejected because such a project would have design deficiencies and would require several hundred relocations. Instead, a 22-mile corridor paralleling US 71 was identified as the project corridor. This corridor was further subdivided into 14 segments, and three alternative alignments were analyzed within each segment. A preferred alignment within each corridor was also identified. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace up to 2,070 acres of farmlands, fill 51.9 acres of wetlands, encroach on 252.1 acres of floodplain, cross 86 streams and a national recreation trail, and adversely impact one park, one historic site, and 60 potential archaeological sites. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 81 houses, 12 mobile homes, and six businesses. Noise levels would increase at 211 receptors.

AN - 36403104; 6570 AB - PURPOSE: The development and incorporation into the Vail Ski Area of the Category III area in White River National Forest, located near Vail, Colorado, is proposed. Vail Associates, Inc., (VA) operates the ski area under terms of a 40-year term special use permit (SUP) which was issued by the Forest Service in 1992. The 4,100-acre category III area (CAT III) is located about 90 miles west of Denver. The CAT III area, an undeveloped portion of the SUP area, was identified in the Vail Ski Area Master Development Plan (MDP) that was accepted by the Forest Service in 1986. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered in the final EIS of August 1996. The proposed action (Alternative C, the preferred alternative) would add approximately 885 acres of mostly intermediate level, lift-accessed ski terrain to the Vail Ski Area. Primary elements would include the construction of four ski lifts, a skiway/road system, ski trails, a restaurant, two warming shelters and food service facilities, utilities, ski patrol facilities, and three bridges spanning Two Elk Creek. No additional snowmaking, water withdrawals, or summer recreation programs would be part of this proposal. Alternative B, the Center Ridge alternative, would not develop as much land as the proposed action. Alternative D would reflect the goals and objectives of the 1986 MDP. This final supplement to the final EIS examines the off-site effects of the preferred alternative and the types of changes necessary to the White River forest plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would offer more effective recreation utilization of public lands without creating additional demands and impacts to off-site lands and communities. It would also fulfill the broad management goals of the White River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The current roadless character of much of the CAT III area, and the related aesthetic qualities of the land, would be destroyed by development. Lynx populations and habitat would be disrupted. Heritage and other values would be reduced due to development within and/or adjacent to wetland and riparian areas. Clearing vegetation would accelerate erosion. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-522).

AN - 36403071; 6569 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately 22-mile-long and up to three-mile-wide section of US 117 between US 70 in Goldsboro and US 301 in Wilson, located in Wayne and Wilson counties, North Carolina, is proposed. The study area includes a northern portion of the city of Goldsboro and the towns of Belfast, Pikeville, and Fremont, all in Wayne County, plus the town of Black Creek and a southwestern portion of the city of Wilson, in Wilson County. Improvements to US 117 have been planned for over 25 years by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the Wayne-Wilson US Highway 117 Association, Inc., a community association, has funded studies of improvements since 1985. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of February 1992. Following the release of the draft EIS, it was determined that US 177 would function as a link between I-95 and I-40 and that the project should be extended an additional mile from US 301 to the proposed US 264 bypass of Wilson. State highway officials designated Alternative 2 as the preferred alternative because it was the only one of the four alternatives that would provide a four-lane divided freeway. Under the preferred alternative, the project would involve the construction of a freeway with interchanges on a new alignment, which would run from a point 0.5 miles southwest of Pikeville northward approximately 13.25 miles and intercept US 301 approximately one mile west of US 117; this alignment would cross State Route (SR) 1002 and State Highway 222 approximately one mile west of US 117 in Pikeville and Fremont, respectively, and cross the Wayne/Wilson County line approximately 0.5 miles west of US 117. Additional construction from Goldsboro to Pikeville would involve a 6.5-mile section that would start one mile south of US 70, include a new interchange 2,000 feet west of the existing Grantham Street interchange, and run north to the west of SR 1300 (Salem Church Road). After the publication of the draft supplemental EIS, one modification was made to the preferred alternative. A 2.2-mile segment of the corridor north of SR 1354 (Stuckey Road) was shifted 1500 westward to avoid negatively impacting the Barnes-Hooks property, which is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would ameliorate the existing roadway's inadequate capacity to carry current and forecasted traffic volumes, its unsafe present condition and accident records showing many hazardous locations, and its accident rates that exceed statewide statistics for rural roads. In addition, local business owners have indicated that improvements to US 117 would benefit their operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition under the preferred alternative would require the displacement of 48 residences and 2 businesses, and 726 acres of farmland, and 65 acres of wetlands. Noise from the improved highway would adversely affect eight residences and community facilities, and noise abatement barriers would not prove cost-effective under current guidelines.

AN - 36405061; 6562 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the lower Cedar River in the city of Renton in King County, Washington, is proposed. The project area consists of the lower 1.25 miles of the Cedar River, an artificially constructed channel built in 1912 to flow into Lake Washington at the extreme southern end of the lake. Since 1912, the channel has been periodically dredged to maintain a flood capacity of a 20-year flood. The city of Renton assumed responsibility for maintaining the channel in 1957 but it has not been dredged since 1983. The Renton Municipal Airport, the Cedar River Trail Park, and the Boeing Company occupy property along the river, and all three properties were damaged in a 50-year flood that occurred in 1990. Sediment has continued to accumulate in the lower few miles of the Cedar River, which increases the risk of flooding. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, four feet of sediment would be dredged from the channel from the mouth of the river up to Logan Avenue and then sloping the dredged depth up to zero to meet the existing gradient at Williams Avenue (800 feet upstream of Logan). Levees and floodwalls would be constructed from Williams Avenue to the river's mouth. A low berm would be placed adjacent to airport property in order to comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The south Boeing bridge would be modified to be hydraulically jacked above the 100-year flood level. The channel would require periodic dredging every three years in order to remove 171,000 cubic yards of material. Estimated construction costs of the project are $8.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for vulnerable areas near the river and would significantly reduce annual flood damages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The increase in the lake backwater area would result in the loss of some adult salmon and trout from the area near the river's mouth. Dredging would result in the decline in aquatic invertebrate diversity and abundance. Truck traffic would increase dramatically along city roads and Boeing private roads when dredging is occurring.

AN - 36410093; 6553 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of shoreline protection and restoration activities for a two-mile section of the Delaware coast, including the towns of Bethany Beach and South Bethany, in Sussex County, Delaware, is proposed. Bethany Beach and South Bethany are extensively developed shore communities which play a principal role in the state's tourism industry. Significant beach and dune erosion has left these communities vulnerable to storm damages with reduced recreational opportunities. Severe storms in recent years have caused a reduction in the overall beach height and width along the study area, which, along with the absence of suitable dunes, exposes the towns of Bethany Beach and South Bethany to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan would involve constructing a berm 150 wide and a dune with an elevation of 16 feet and a width of 25 feet. The beachfill project for both towns would extend along the entire length of the town with the taper area approximately 1,000 feet to the north and south of the town borders. The total length of both proposed beachfill projects is 14,950 linear feet. A total sand fill quantity of 2.7 million cubic yards (CY) would be needed for the initial fill placement in Bethany Beach and South Bethany, with 480,000 CY anticipated for periodic re-nourishments every three years over the next 50 years of project life. Dune restoration would require 24 acres of planted dune grass and 23,157 linear feet of sand fence for entrapment of sand on the dune, delineating walkovers and vehicle access ramps. Beachfill would be dredged from two offshore borrow areas. The estimated initial cost of the project is $17.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would preserve the commercial viability of Bethany Beach and South Bethany as tourist destinations, and reduce the potential for severe storm damage to the structures and property associated with the communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. Dredging would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. Dredging would result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities in the borrow area, and the consequent displacement of a finfish food source.

AN - 16353040; 6555 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of emergency bank-protection measures at 39 locations on the Red River in Louisiana and Arkansas is proposed. The original proposal would provide emergency corrective measures along the Red River between the Mississippi River and the vicinity of Index, Arkansas, at 12 locations in Louisiana, and four locations in Arkansas. The levee crown and side slopes along most of the levee do not meet current standards and these deficiencies make levee maintenance difficult. Portions of the levee system have deteriorated in many locations, and the presence of uncontrolled vegetation along the levee make visual detection of potential problem areas difficult. Some rehabilitation work on the levee system has already been completed. The plan recommended in this draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1972 would involve restoring and rehabilitating approximately 108.1 miles of levees including the 6.2-mile levee along McKinney Bayou, raising levees deficient in grade, reshaping the side slopes to one vertical on three horizontal, gravel surfacing the levee crown, constructing seepage berms, and replacing seven drainage structures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in the headwaters of the Red River. Potential damages to farmlands would be reduced, and levee maintenance costs would also be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The levee improvements would result in the loss of 254 acres of woodlands, 60 acres of wetlands, and 385 acres of farmland.

AN - 16338990; 6546 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Magpie Creek, including lands within McClellan Air Force Base (AFB) and the city of Sacramento, California, is proposed. The watershed contains approximately 6,460 acres, with the AFB occupying 2,200 acres. The majority of the drainage area is urbanized. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (the Channel and Levee Plan with 46.8 feet at top of levee), the improvements would increase flood flow capacity of the system through increased channel capacity by widening from the current width of 20 feet to an improved width of 50 feet (with the channel sections to remain earthen) and enhanced levees. In order to address flooding of roadway corridors in the study area, three bridge modifications would be undertaken, including the replacement of Dry Creek Road Bridge, the removal of Vinci Avenue Bridge, and the removal and replacement of Raley Boulevard Bridge. The project would be designed with a 1 in 170 chance of flooding in any given year. Alternative B would be similar to the NED Plan, with 45.8 feet to top of levee; both Alternative C and Alternative D would involve the development of a 147-acre-foot detention basin, to be maintained by the AFB or the city, respectively. Formal endangered species consultation was undertaken regarding vernal pool fairy shrimp, and further sampling is required to identify actual populations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the action alternatives, flood protection would be enhanced. The proposed action would result in the greatest reduction of flood risk with the least habitat disruption. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The action alternatives would adversely affect biological resources including seasonal wetlands, emergent marsh, riparian scrub-shrub, and upland grasslands. The detention pool alternatives would disrupt a greater area and, as a result, create greater biological impacts. Minor adverse land use effects would result from the need to relocate one unoccupied residential unit for the project's right-of-way. The construction period disturbances would include temporary construction noise, dust and particulates, and temporary detours of local traffic.

AN - 16341744; 6541 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of State Route 6028 (SR 6028), the Kittanning Bypass, extending from the existing Northern terminus of the Allegheny Expressway to the intersection of Traffic Route (TR) 28/66 with TR 85, located in western Pennsylvania, is proposed. The current roadway includes a steep, mile-long, free access section with grades in excess of nine percent (Indiana Pike Hill) and a congested intersection on the outskirts of Kittanning. From 1987 to 1992, 40 accidents occurred in the project area, with one fatality. Four of the accidents involved large trucks. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would be a four-lane, limited-access highway to a point north of US 422. The roadway would taper to two lanes at its terminus at the existing signalized intersection of TR 28/66 and TR 85. An interchange would be provided between the bypass and US 422. Under all of the project alternatives, the facility would largely traverse undeveloped land in a project corridor of 2.2 to 2.4 miles long; much of the project area is forested. Some 1,310 to 2,060 feet of culvert construction would be required. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative (Alternative C Prime) is $29 million. Energy consumption would be less or more than current levels, depending on the action alternative adopted. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would address several problems identified with the existing transportation network, including safety, congestion, and the regional transportation network which is mixed with the local roadway network. It would provide a direct connection between the existing Allegheny Valley Expressway and the US Route 422 and TR 28/66 divide north of Kittanning. Under all of the build alternatives, the facility would produce direct and indirect employment gains during construction. The project would divert approximately 60 percent of traffic, including heavy truck traffic, from existing roadways, resulting in decreased accident potential and noise levels on Indiana Pike Hill and reduced travel times for motorists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirement would displace 121 acres of land, 16 homes, and, possibly, three businesses. The facility would require the taking of 13.7 acres of farmland and 0.6 acres of wetlands. Under all of the build alternatives, the project would involve the loss of some terrestrial wildlife habitat. Hazardous waste from storage tanks on sites of former gas stations would require remediation. The clearing of vegetation and cut-and-fill operations would adversely affect visual resources. The construction activities could increase the potential for landslides.

AN - 16353476; 6535 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of property made available by the realignment of specified missions at the Army Garrison Fitzsimons (formerly the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center), located in Aurora, Colorado, is proposed. Since 1918, the installation had provided medical services. The 577-acre facility, which is located about eight miles east of downtown Denver, was closed in July 1996. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the Army would not dispose of the property but would maintain it in caretaker status, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Army would dispose of the entire installation and not retain ownership of any property or facilities except as required for the operation and support of the Edgar J. McWhethy Army Reserve Center. Following disposal, the installation would be redeveloped under the auspices of the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority, the local development authority established by the city of Aurora. Over a period of 50 years, a planned $1.5 billion phased capital construction program would result in approximately 7.3 million square feet of space and facilities for up to 18,000 jobs. The focal point of the redevelopment would be a 217-acre campus for the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Another 147 acres would be used to develop a university-related bioscience park. Other uses would include recreation (General's Park), a veterans' nursing home, temporary residential facilities for veterans' visiting family members (Fisher House), a government research center, a homeless assistance center, a police and fire department training complex, a municipal swimming pool, a shopping center, a child development center, business and industrial areas, and open space. Under the preferred alternative (the Encumbered Disposal Alternative), the Army would impose certain reuse encumbrances on future owners as a condition of disposal and reuse, including the continuation of remedial activities, limited access to property for ingress and egress, and ground water contamination remediation. Under the other action alternative (the Unencumbered Disposal Alternative), fewer or no Army restrictions would be placed on future use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The disposal and reuse of the former Army parcel would satisfy legislative requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The significant adverse impacts of disposal alternatives assuming medium- and high-intensity reuse scenarios would include increased demands on limited water supplies, traffic congestion, increased air pollution emissions from traffic sources, and utility system deficiencies.

AN - 16341695; 6534 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an underground gold mine in the Chatham Area of the Tongass National Forest, located in Alaska, is proposed. The project area is found in the north end of the Juneau Gold Belt. The mine site would be located on the west side of the Kakuhan Range adjacent to Lynn Canal, approximately 45 air miles north of Juneau and 35 air miles south of Haines. The proposed action would consist of an underground gold mine, ore processing facility, tailing impoundment, office and maintenance complex, employee camp, heliports, marine terminal, explosives magazine, and miscellaneous support areas. The project, to be known as the Kensington Project, was originally a joint venture between Coeur Alaska Inc. (a subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation) and Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. (a subsidiary of Echo Bay Mines Ltd.). In the summer of 1994, Coeur Alaska assumed a 100 percent interest in the project, and in the following year, presented a revised plan that is the subject of this final supplement to the final EIS of February 1992. The revised plan would reduce the potential impacts from a mixing zone in marine waters, increase the assurance of meeting water quality standards, improve the operational efficiency of the mine, and minimize the potential adverse impacts to Ophir, Ivanhoe, and Sherman Creeks. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplement. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the significant modifications would include the offsite processing of flotation concentrate and the piping of tailings from the process area to the dry tailings facility. The flotation concentrate would be placed in sealed containers and transported offsite for final processing. An engineered structural berm would be built around all cells of the DTF to enhance geotechnical stability. The mine drainage would be filtered and combined with process area runoff in a sediment pond that would discharge into upper Sherman Creek. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mining activities would employ 340 persons during full production and generally enhance economic indicators locally. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mining and associated activities would disturb up to 270 acres of vegetation, including up to 260 acres of wetland vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. The construction activities would temporarily increase sediment levels in local streams. The preferred alternative would divert 2.3 miles of streams. Water withdrawals from the streams would significantly reduce flows, and flow reductions would degrade fishery quality for anadromous fish. Seismic activity and seiche landslides could advewrsely affect the mine site. Site activities, helicopter flights, and activities at the Berners Bay terminal would generate significant noise levels.

AN - 16343676; 6530 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a rail connector and siding between the government-owned line and the CSX line, between Fort Campbell and Hopkinsville in Christian County, Kentucky, is proposed. The project would require the acquisition of private property, excavation and fill activities, and the laying of rail connector and siding. The rail connector proposal is the result of a 1993 evaluation by the Military Traffic Command Transportation Agency of the Army Strategic Mobility Program at Fort Campbell. That evaluation concluded that the existing rail system does not meet outload deployment requirements, primarily due to the five-car-at-a-time transfer capacity at the Hopkinsville Interchange. Rapid deployment during an emergency is a primary mission responsibility of the 101st. Construction of a rail connector that eliminates the need to switch cars at the Hopkinsville Interchange would achieve the objective of enhancing deployment capability. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 1 would upgrade the existing connection with the construction of two relatively short rail connectors within the city limits of Hopkinsville and a siding track parallel to the existing Branch Line south of the city. Both Alternative 2N and Alternative 2S would connect the Branch Line to the CSX mainline at locations north and south of the city, respectively, with siding track parallel to the existing Branch Line south of the city. Alternative 3 would connect the Branch Line directly to the CSX mainline approximately six miles south of the city, with the siding track to be included in the alignment corridor. Alternative 2S was selected as the preferred alternative because it would be less disruptive to the community and require the fewest relocations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would alleviate existing mobility capacity limitation. The proposed action would meet outload deployment mobility requirements of the 101st Airborne Division. All of the action alternatives would include decreased congestion on Walnut Street and East 21st Street caused by the existing switching operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would include the conversion of prime farmland and the potential conversions of up to one business, a mobile home dealer, portions of an apartment complex, and four residences with associated outbuildings. Historic resources occur within the proposed alignment corridors. Short-term and long-term adverse noise impacts would be associated with the rail connector and would need to be treated in accordance with Section 106 procedures.

The first step was a model screening based primarily on current and anticipated Army and Department of Defense needs, followed by a more rigorous evaluation. This report provides the initial evaluation of more than 12 groundwater models that were selected based on the screening criteria. The effort included scrutiny of the code structure, certain process formulation, and performance evaluation relative to appropriate problems for which analytical solutions are available and/or hypothetical scenarios. Four classes of models were evaluated: (1) saturated flow and/or transport, (2) coupled unsaturate/saturated flow and/or transport, (3) unsaturated flow and/or transport, and (4) multiphase models. Model performance in the initial evaluation was acceptable for the suite of models. The second step was to evaluate/compare the models against analytic solutions, hypothetical scenarios, and/or filed data.

Mass balance studies using radiolabeled TNT reveal that as much as 80 percent of the radioactivity added to tests is still present in the matrix. The objectives of this study were to characterize the conjugates, develop analytical methods for their identification, and determine their potential long-term stability and environmental safety. The approach includes development of hydrolytic methods for releasing identifiable explosives-related products from conjugated matrices, formation of conjugates by covalent linkage with humic acid functional groups using nuclear magnetic resonance, dialysis partitioning of explosives and transformation products with humic acid, surface plasmon resonance as a tool for assessing the interaction with humic acid, microbial degradability of conjugated products, and toxicology of explosives transformation and conjugated products. Results to date indicate that conjugates result from several processes occurring in the matrix. Some of these processes are potentially reversible, while others are more stable.

The objectives of this project were to: (1) evaluate the DCR process for remediating soils contaminated with pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons (oils and fuels), and heavy metals in cold regions and (2) evaluate DCR-treated oil-contaminated soil as a non-frost-susceptible (NFS) construction material. Three major studies evaluated the DCR process to remediate (1) hydrocarbons at Eareckson Air Force Station on Shemya in the Aleutians, (2) pesticide-contaminated soils from Rocky Mt. Arsenal, and (3) heavy-metal contaminated soils from a former zinc smelter site at Palmerton, Pennsylvania. The DCR process was successful in stabilizing liquid organics and heavy metals in contaminated soils. The chemical properties of soils contaminated by solid organics (asphalt tar and pesticides) were not generally improved by the DCR process, but even in these cases, the physical properties were improved for potential reuse as construction materials.

During 1992-94, many of these structures were surveyed to assess both the hydraulic and structural performance of the concrete armoring (Melby and Turk 1995a). Maintenance of some of these structures has substantially exceeded original estimates, and much speculation has been made as to the causes of premature armor failure. Some of the possible reasons are: a. Construction placement practice. b. Armor concrete strength and quality. c. Reinforcement scheme. d. Breakwater configuration. e. Cross-sectional variations. f. Uncertainty in local wave climate. g. Rehabilitation methods. Most of the Corps' concrete-armored structures are armored with dolosse, and many have been rehabilitated with additional dolosse of equal or larger size. Some dolos-armored slopes repaired with dolosse show only a marginal increase in performance over the original armoring, and may require additional maintenance.

AN - 16352988; 6525 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access expressway connecting I-59 south of the city with I-59 to the north around the northern fringes of Birmingham, Alabama, is proposed. In conjunction with I-459 and I-59, the expressway would complete a circumferential expressway system around the city. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative D was eliminated from consideration because it would adversely affect a historic resource eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The western terminus of the project would involve a connection with the existing I-459 interchange with I-59/20 or an interchange at I-59/20 in the Fairfield area. The eastern terminus would be an interchange with I-59 roughly one mile north of the Mount Olive Church interchange or an interchange at the intersection of I-59 and Trussville Road near Trussville High School. Under the build alternatives, the project would require major route-to-route interchanges with I-59 /20, Corridor X (a planned multilane, high-speed roadway from Fulton, Mississippi, to I-65 in Birmingham), I-65, and I-59. Interchanges with US 31, US 78, and SR 75 would also be provided under all of the action alternatives. The length of the project would range from 42 to 52 miles, depending on the alternative selected. The estimated cost for the preferred alternative (Alternative A) is $701.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce network travel time, relieve congestion on existing highways, improve levels of service, and provide an acceptable design speed throughout the network to maximize traveler benefit. The project would also increase opportunities for economic development throughout the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace up to 279 residences, 13 businesses, one nonprofit organization, and 68 acres of wetlands. Up to 91 noise sensitive sites would experience a substantial increase in noise levels of 15 decibels or more. Under each of the alternatives, streams having 100-year floodplains would be crossed; the number of stream crossings ranges from 7 to 18. The preferred alternative would cross 14 streams.

AN - 16338066; 6518 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of excess property made available by the closure of the Savanna Army Depot Activity, in Savanna, Illinois, is proposed. The 13,062-acre facility is located along the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. It was established in 1917 as a proof and test facility for artillery, and since 1972 its mission has been to receive, store, issue, and demilitarize conventional ammunition and general supplies. The major tenant at the facility is the U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School. The cantonment area on the southern portion of the site has 15 office buildings, 201 storage buildings and warehouses, and 251 other buildings used for maintenance, metal and woodworking, housing and other purposes. About 6,000 acres along the Mississippi River are undeveloped bottomlands subject to periodic flooding. The remaining central and northern portions of the site contain 437 igloos for ammunition storage as well as other structures related to the site's storage mission. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would include an indefinite continuation of caretaker status, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would dispose of the entire property, without any Army ownership of any property or facilities on the site. Predisposal activities would include contaminated site cleanup and the caretaking of vacated facilities prior to disposal. The Army would transfer 9,445 acres to the Fish and Wildlife Service for establishment of a wildlife management unit to be administered under the National Wildlife Refuge System; 455 acres to the Corps of Engineers for dredged material disposal and recreational area development; and 3,162 acres to the local development authority for housing units, an industrial area, and other planned reuses. Encumbrances would apply to unexploded ordnance, wetlands, historical resources, threatened and endangered species, utilities interdependencies and easements, road and other access easements, and lead-based paint. Encumbered disposal is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The closure of the facility would be one of many planned reductions in military forces and facilities in response to a relaxation of global tensions. The Army is responding to this mandate by consolidating activities to optimize readiness and dispose of excess property. All of the Army units assigned to the facility would be reactivated or reassigned. Property transfers to local ownership would benefit the local tax base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal could make it difficult to dispose of certain properties because the encumbrances would limit the number of interested parties, while unencumbered disposal would result in the loss of federal protection for biological and cultural resources.

AN - 16356295; 6514 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by the Carlota Copper Company of an open-pit copper mine within the Tonto National Forest, located in central Arizona, is proposed. The site is located six miles west of the community of Miami. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facilities would include three open pits, three surface mine rock disposal areas, a heap-leach pad, a processing plant, and administrative facilities. The ore would be mined using conventional techniques, including blasting, truck hauling from the pit to the crusher, and conveyor transport from the crusher to the leach pad. The Carlota/Cactus pit, the largest of the pits, would contain 80 percent of the project's reserves and span Pinto Creek. A permanent diversion channel would be incorporated in the pit design to carry the creek flow around the east and north side of the pit. The Eder North and the Eder South pits would be located on the west side of Powers Gulch. The heap-leach pad would be located in Powers Gulch and designed as a valley leach. The Powers Gulch drainage would be permanently diverted around the west side of the heap-leach facility. The leach solutions would be stored in the pad itself, behind water-retention embankments at the downstream ends of the pad. Approximately 100 million tons of ore would be mined from the three pits throughout the life of the project, and an estimated 900 million pounds of copper would be produced. Project operations would commence in 1998 and conclude in 2013, followed by an additional five years of leaching. An average of 590 gallons per minute (gpm) of water would be required for the operation, with a peak demand of 850 gpm during the dry months. Water sources would include wells in the Pinto Creek drainage and pit dewatering. Seven other action alternatives under consideration would each alter one aspect of the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, project construction would employ 177 workers over an eight- to ten-month period; once operational, the project would employ a peak work force of 300 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,428 acres would be disturbed under the proposed action, and 490 acres would experience a permanent loss of soil productivity. Groundwater withdrawal and well field development would create cones of depression that could adversely affect water resources in the area. Stream diversion would result in the loss of aquatic habitat. The construction and mining activities would adversely affect up to 56 historic and prehistoric sites.

AN - 16341635; 6511 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of surface transportation in the Lynn Canal/Taiya corridor between Juneau and Haines/Skagway, located in southern Alaska, is proposed. Juneau, the state capital and third largest city in the state, does not have direct highway access. Since the 1920's, a wide array of studies have been undertaken by those interested in a highway linking Juneau with the towns of Haines and Skagway, Alaska, or Atlin, British Columbia. Haines and Skagway both have direct highway access to the Alaska Highway that connects with the Continental Highway System. The ferry system now used to access Juneau is operating at capacity, has limited flexibility, and high user costs. Issues identified during the scoping process include the effects of improved vehicular access on quality of life of residents; and the effects of transportation improvements on Berners Bay, an area populated by sea lions and bald eagles. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 2, a 65-mile-long highway would be constructed on the east side of the Lynn Canal/Taiya Inlet between Echo Cove and Skagway, with a shuttle ferry between Haines and the Katzehin River delta. This highway would include two driving lanes with paved four-foot shoulders. Mainline ferry service between Juneau and Haines/Skagway would terminate once this highway is constructed. Alternative 4 comprises four options for enhancing ferry service. Option A and Option B would continue the mainline ferry service, while adding a high-speed ferry between Auke Bay and Haines/Skagway or between Sawmill Cove and Haines/Skagway. Option C and Option D would replace the mainline service with high-speed ferries. These high-speed ferries would travel at 29 miles an hour and carry over 100 vehicles and 775 passengers. The estimated costs for the project range from $61.0 million to $232.4 million, depending on the alternative and option selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, convenience and safety would be improved, user costs would decrease, and transportation capacity would increase to meet project demand. The tourist industry and the southern Alaska economy would benefit from increased visitation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Large sections of roadless area within the Tongass National Forest would be adversely affected by the highway. Under Alternative 2, up to 872 acres of timber would be cleared for road construction and 137.2 acres of wetlands (primarily near Berners Bay) would be adversely affected by road and bridge construction. In addition, the highway construction could adversely affect two endangered species (humpback whales and peregrine falcons) and one threatened species (stellar sea lions).

AN - 16338828; 6512 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of excess property made available by the closure of Fort Ritchie, located in northern Maryland, is proposed. The 657-acre installation is located one mile south of the Maryland/Pennsylvania border, northeast of Hagerstown, along Route 550. Two alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, under which the Army would maintain the property indefinitely in caretaker status, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the cessation of military activities at the installation by October 1998, and the disposal of 638 acres of property and 252 buildings containing 1.4 million square feet. Nearly half of those buildings are part of the Camp Ritchie Historic District. Major facilities on the installation include administrative buildings, a helipad, parade grounds, maintenance facilities, a chapel and library, family and troop housing, two man-made lakes, roads, and other infrastructure. A 19.3-acre tract of land on the southeastern portion of the installation would be retained as a National Guard Enclave. Under the encumbered alternative (the preferred alternative), the Army would impose certain restrictions on reuse plans relating to the protection of cultural resources, wetlands, and wildlife habitat. Unencumbered disposal has been determined to be an unacceptable alternative; it is not analyzed in this EIS. A reuse plan has not yet been selected, but three levels of development are under consideration. Cleanup of 13 hazardous waste sites found on the property would occur before any property was transferred from Army management. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal would maintain consistency with adjacent land use, protect human health, protect biological resources and surface water quality, and aid government remedial actions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal could reduce market value and inhibit the full economic development of the site.

AN - 16345130; 6510 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of navigational anchorages and branch channels serving the Port of Baltimore, located at the head of the Patapsco River in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, and the City of Baltimore, Maryland, is proposed. In recent years, the port has experienced a steady growth in commerce, increasing from 2,300 vessel calls in 1993 to an expected 3,400 calls in the year 2000. Since 1824, the Corps of Engineers has been involved in constructing and maintaining a system of channels to allow large deep-draft vessels to call on the port. In addition, a number of anchorage areas have been established within the port for vessels requiring layover for various reasons. The proposed action would involve widening the West Dundalk and Seagirt-Connecting channels to 500 feet; widening the East Dundalk Channel to 400 feet; establishing a channel 36 feet deep and 400 feet wide in the area of the Old Produce Wharf Channel at South Locust Point; deepening a portion of Anchorage Number 3 to 42 feet deep and 2,200 feet wide by 2,200 feet long; deepening Anchorage Number 4 to similar dimensions; constructing a turning basin at the head of the Fort McHenry Channel, 1,200 feet wide by 1,200 feet long, and 50 feet deep; federal assumption of the maintenance of channels at three marine terminals and the area between the Connecting Channel and the Seagirt Marine Terminal Berth 4; and deauthorization of Anchorage Number 1. The CSX/Cox Creek disposal area would be expanded to accept additional dredged material. The estimated construction cost for the preferred plan (Plan 5) is $27.0 million to $29.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels, improving channel configuration, and constructing a turning basin, the project would improve the capacity of the port, reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, reduce shipping delays, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. The benefit-cost ratio of the preferred plan is 5.6. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging would destroy some benthic organisms and create turbidity of short duration.

Preparation date: July 21, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DELAWARE RIVER COMPREHENSIVE NAVIGATION STUDY: MAIN CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT; DELAWARE, NEW JERSEY, AND PENNSYLVANIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1992). AN - 16342602; 6501 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of navigation improvements along the Delaware River from the Beckett Street Terminal in Camden, New Jersey, through Philadelphia Harbor, Pennsylvania, to deep water in the Delaware Bay off Delaware, a distance of approximately 102.5 miles, is proposed. Channel widths currently range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 1,000 feet in the bay. Throughout Philadelphia Harbor, the channel is 40 feet deep on the west side and 37 feet deep on the east side. Widening has been provided for at critical bends. There are 19 anchorages on the Delaware River; all but six are natural deep-water anchorages. The project would include 12 training dikes to reduce shoaling in the channel and anchorages and to minimize dredging and disposal costs. The recommended plan of improvement would provide for a two-way, full-width channel of variable widths, with a depth of 45 feet below mean low water and an allowable dredging overdepth of two feet. The channel side slopes would be three horizontal to one vertical. Channel dimensions below the Walt Whitman Bridge are based on a 160,000-dead-weight-ton (160,000-DWT) tanker with a length of 931 feet, a beam of 145 feet, and an operating draft of 45 feet. The design vessel for Philadelphia Harbor and the Beckett Street Terminal access would be a 100,000-DWT dry bulk vessel with a length of 830 feet and beam of 128 feet. The selected channel dimensions would allow for navigation practices similar to existing conditions that would allow full use of the tide range by inbound vessels. The channel width would range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 800 feet from the Philadelphia Navy Yard to Bombay Hook and then to 1,000 feet in Delaware Bay. The plan would include all appropriate bend widening and provide a two-space anchorage of compatible depth at the Marcus Hook anchorage. The project would also include utility relocations at two locations, aids to navigation, and lands, easements, rights- of-way, and disposal areas as necessary for initial construction and maintenance of the project. The project would require the dredging of 33.0 million cubic yards in order to deepen the currently authorized 40-foot channel to 45 feet. Annual maintenance dredging would amount to 1.1 million cubic yards more than what would be dredged to maintain a 40-foot channel. Dredged material from the river would be placed in nine active upland disposal sites and four new sites. Dredged material from Delaware Bay would be used for wetland restoration at Egg Island Point, New Jersey, and Kelly Island, Delaware, and for stockpiling of sand for later beach nourishment projects. A draft supplement to the final EIS of February 1992 focused on the upland disposal sites, and the likely effects on wetlands, wildlife habitat, endangered species, and groundwater; and the beneficial uses of dredged material for wetland restoration in Delaware Bay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion of the navigational channels along the Delaware River would allow use by deep-draft vessels with full cargoes. Harbor safety and efficiency would be enhanced through the easing of the movement of goods into and out of markets along the Eastern Seaboard. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic organisms would be destroyed in dredged areas and in areas affected by dredged-material disposal. The removal of approximately 229,000 cubic yards of rock from the river channel would adversely affect the aquatic environment; the use of explosives would be required for rock removal. Deepening of the channel would promote upstream movement of saline water, and the possibility exists that chemical contaminants within river sediments could enter underlying aquifers. Approximately 396 acres of jurisdictional wetlands would be adversely affected by uplands disposal. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Public Works Appropriations (P.L. 94-355), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN - 36400097; 6479 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project for Deep River, located in central North Carolina, is proposed. Based on expected regional growth and increases in water demand, water shortages are expected to occur shortly after the turn of the century. While water conservation might retard demand, continued growth in and around the cities of Greensboro and High Point is expected to lead to severe water shortages in the future. These two cities have developed their watersheds to the maximum extent possible. Existing reservoirs cannot be expanded because they are located in areas surrounded by urban development. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, a dam would be constructed on the Deep River approximately two miles upstream from the town of Randleman. At a normal pool elevation of 682 feet above mean sea level, the reservoir would inundate approximately 3,000 acres and provide a safe yield of 48.0 million gallons per day of raw water to local governments served by the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority. The project would also include a buffer area approximately 200 feet wide requiring 3,000 additional acres. Raw water obtained from Randleman Lake would be treated at a water treatment plant constructed in the lower portion of the lake and west of the US 220 bypass. The estimated construction for the dam and reservoir project is $123.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposal, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would be established. The reservoir would satisfy water demands in the area for at least 50 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would inundate 3,000 acres of vegetation (including 2,100 forested acres), 28 miles of main-stem stream, and 121 acres of wetlands. The project would require the acquisition of 6,000 acres, 28 residences, and one business.

Preparation date: July 3, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA GLOBAL TRANSPARK, KINSTON, LENOIR COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36412945; 6475 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a ten-year plan for the development of the North Carolina Global TransPark north of Kinston, North Carolina, is proposed. The site is presently occupied by the Kinston Regional Jetport at Stallings Field providing general aviation and commercial air service for the Kinston service. Only one of the three airport runways is currently operational. The proposed action is to expand the current airport facility from its present size of 1,255 acres to 2,191 acres and provide a unique complex of transportation, manufacturing, and commercial facilities dedicated to meeting the evolving business needs of international trade and global manufacturing. The expanded airport facility would include new and upgraded runways, 315 acres for a centralized cargo handling facility, 75 acres for passenger terminal facilities, 211 acres for military transportation facilities, 394 acres for industrial and commercial development, 55 acres for stormwater management, 76 acres for wetlands mitigation, and 71 acres for open space. The project would include 1,502 acres for industrial and commercial development in the area adjacent to the cargo airport, 84 acres for an education and training center, 631 additional acres for open space, and 295 acres for wetlands mitigation. It would also include the development of an intermodal rail spur to connect the industrial area to the North Carolina Railroad, along with improvements to Airport Road, Benjamin Franklin Road, and other access roads. The estimated ten-year construction costs are $118.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would accommodate the large air cargo transport aircraft projected to be in general use in the next ten years, and include sufficient land area to support cargo processing and intermodal transport services. The facility would stimulate regional economic development, generating up to 48,094 new jobs by the year 2016. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for the expanded cargo airport would displace 24 residences, one business, four churches and cemeteries, 782 acres of farmlands, and 586 acres of wetlands. Additional development plans would displace 151 residences, five churches and cemeteries, 2,002 acres of farmlands, and 285 acres of wetlands. Ten single-family residences would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards ten years after the commencement of air cargo operations. Traffic levels would increase dramatically on local roads.

The purpose of the experiments was to validate the frequency dependent theories of Pride and Packard. Frequency dependent streaming potential experiments were conducted on one glass capillary and two porous filters. Results indicated that both Packard's and Pride's models can fit the data. Experimentation continued on rocks. The new database and/or models can be used in seismoelectric models/interpretation and allow for the direct in situ determination of permeability. As a direct outcome of the research, a joint USAF/MIT patent disclosure was filed.

The ordnance were loaded with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), amatol (TNT and ammonium nitrate), tritonal (mT and aluminum), and Composition B TNT and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). Process wastewaters were discharged into sumps and bomb wash pits and their associated drainage ditch systems. In 1956 the NOP was placed on standby and declared excess in 1959. Currently, the property is owned by the University of Nebraska, the National Guard and Army Reserves, the Department of Commerce, and private individuals. Since explosives and volatile organic compounds were detected in soils and groundwater at the site, three operable units (OUs) were defined to address remediation, OU I, OU II, and OU m. This project falls under OU III, which includes possible waste disposal sites. Preliminary remediation goals (RGs) for the site are 2 pg RDX per liter in groundwater and 5.8 and 17.2 mg kg-1 for RDX and TNT in soils, respectively (Rust Environmental Infrastructure 1995).

Soil erosion methods are defined as the processes of soil detachment, entrainment, transport, and deposition. The assessment involved four phases: (a) data collection, (b) evaluation of potentially applicable erosion models and methods, (c) development of a numerical model of sludge erosion, and (d) documentation of methods and results. Analyses described in this report were made on existing data developed at SRS using existing analytical methods and models. Four topics are discussed: (a) erosion processes for sludge recovery, (b) application of soil erosion to sludge recovery at SRS, (c) numerical simulation of sludge erosion, and (d) summary and recommendations. Results of the investigation indicate that erosion methods can be effective in the recovery of waste sludge. The natural internal order of erosional networks provides a system that is predictable, efficient, and quickly responsive to artificial control. Numerical simulation of erosional systems indicated that an erosional system developed in SRS HLW would be an efficient way to recover HLW.

AN - 36402035; 6463 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of reclamation plans for six aggregate mining sites on the Russian River between river mile 25, just north of the city of Healdsburg, and river mile 34, just east of Healdsburg, located in northern California, is proposed. Syar Industries, the project applicant, retains vested rights to extract minerals at five of the sites without obtaining state or county approval. No vested rights apply to the sixth site, located within Healdsburg; all sites require that the applicant prepare a plan specifying the reclamation measures that would be implemented after mining was completed. Significant issues concerning this project include the effects of mining activities on stream channel morphology, groundwater, agriculture, water quality and fish resources, aesthetic and recreational qualities, and riparian vegetation. Five alternatives, including a No-Project Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of July 1993. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers substantial revisions to the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) and additional hydrological analysis. The preferred alternative would permit limited bar skimming within the project area while minimizing impacts on the channel bed and riparian vegetation. Each of the six sites would be eligible for mining provided the Russian River topography were maintained in a manner that satisfied all resource and flood protection concerns. The preferred alternative would require the implementation of an extensive river monitoring program and the preparation of annual mining plans. Because of the significant adverse environmental impacts involved, the environmentally preferred alternative is the No-Project Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an affordable source of high quality sand and gravel for the construction of roads, canals, dams, homes, and commercial structures; a local source of mineral aggregate is considered essential to keeping it affordable because its cost is largely determined by transportation costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would create slope instability that could result in unsafe conditions during or after a seismic event. Stream degradation (bed lowering) would occur at a project site, upstream or downstream, if mining operations were to extract more gravel from the river than was annually replenished. Lowering of the groundwater tables in the aquifers that are hydraulically linked to the river would result, along with reductions in the productivity or water quality of municipal or private wells, reductions in riparian vegetation, increases in bank erosion and channel instability, reductions in the structural stability of bridges, and degradation of fishery resources. Additional adverse impacts would include the reduced survival of juvenile salmonids and aquatic invertebrates, the increased vulnerability of tule perch and outmigrating anadromous fish to predation, adversely altered views of the project area, changes in the recreational value of the river, and reductions in property values on adjacent lands.

AN - 16352952; 6442 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately 34-mile-long section of US 93, from Hamilton to Lolo, Montana, is proposed. US 93 is a two-lane, north-south principal arterial that extends along the western portion of the state, linking the city of Missoula, the region's largest city, and the Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls triangle. The highway, which is part of the National Highway System, extends from Phoenix, Arizona, to the Canadian border. The segment of highway proposed for improvement is located in the Bitterroot River Valley, a rural area experiencing rapid growth because of its scenic beauty and proximity to Missoula. Much of the highway is designated as a no-passing zone, and because a high percentage of trucks use the highway, traffic tie-ups are not uncommon. The accident rate on US 93 within the project area is higher than the statewide rate for similar highways. Additional highway deficiencies include narrow shoulders, deteriorating pavement on an inadequate subgrade, and restricted width bridges. Numerous build and no-build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would involve the construction of park-and-ride lots in or near the major population centers along the corridor; the reconstruction of the highway by building a four-lane undivided section in rural areas and a five-lane section (four lanes with a center turning lane) in developed areas; realignment for a new crossing of the Bitterroot River at the Silver Bridge just north of Hamilton; the realignment at Bass Creek Hill to reduce potential adverse environmental impacts and improve grades; and the construction of turning lanes, traffic signals, wide shoulders, and bicycle facilities to enhance traffic flow and safety and provide for pedestrian and bicycle movement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With improvements to the facility, congestion would be reduced. The improvement would provide for planned growth and economic development, improved safety, improved intermodal facility connections, and enhanced scenic values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace one business, up to ten miscellaneous structures (no residences or businesses), fill 46.9 acres of wetlands, encroach on 53.3 acres of floodplains, and adversely affect 4.9 acres of farmland. Collisions with animals would continue as traffic volume increases.

The investigations demonstrated that conditions at the site were excellent for the use of nondestructive methods of site investigation. The suite of technologies that was employed provided extensive information about the nature and distribution of subsurface archaeological remains throughout the site, including the precise location and stratigraphic context of additional probable burials. A mix of new and emerging technologies was employed, including laser range finding, global positioning systems, soil conductivity, electromagnetometry, ground penetrating radar, geographic information systems, and geomorphological inference. The use of non-destructive technologies greatly complemented the archaeological and historical investigations, and led to conclusions and inferences that would not have been attainable using conventional archaeological techniques alone. Results of this study provide managers at Fort Benning with the comprehensive informational basis to support the significance of the National Register property, with a management plan commensurate with the importance of the site. Clearly, the study has application to other situations where information can be acquired rapidly and efficiently, in a manner that is highly cost effective and sensitive to Native American concerns for the appropriate treatment of human remains.

The S-wave values are used in conjunction with conventional field and laboratory soil testing methods to provide soil property values for an earthquake analysis of the dam and foundation. The investigation consisted of S-wave crosshole and S-wave and compression wave (P-wave) surface seismic refraction tests along with downhole conductivity and gamma logging. S-wave velocities as a function of depth were determined for the upstream and downstream shell of the dam as well for the alluvium foundation. The crosshole results indicate an average true S-wave velocity range of between 500 and 1,100 fps for the upstream shell and 700 and 1,400 fps for the downstream shell. The crosshole results indicate that the average true S-wave velocities for the alluvium foundation beneath the upstream shell vary between 700 and 2,000 fps and between 1,800 and 2,200 fps below the downstream shell. The crosshole S-wave tests indicate an average true velocity range of between 650 and 1,730 fps along the downstream toe of the dam. Seismic refraction S-wave results run along the downstream toe indicate true velocities between 400 and 5,125 fps. The crosshole S-wave velocity profiles show velocities increasing with depth at a lower rate for the upstream shell materials than for the downstream shell materials. Anomalously low crosshole S-wave velocities are found in the upstream shell and alluvium at Sta. 28+80.

The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station under the direction of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Kansas City, and in conjunction with Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Overland Park, KS, evaluated the comparative performance of four AOPs for removing trichloroethylene, RDX, HMX, trinitrotoluene, and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene from a representative sample of groundwater from the Nebraska Ordnance Plant using bench-scale reactors. During 1990, this site was placed on the National Priorities List. Candidate AOPs that were evaluated were irradiation of hydrogen peroxide with ultraviolet (UV) light emitted from low-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps (LPUV-HP), irradiation with UV light emitted from a low-pressure mercury vapor UV lamp with ozone sparging (LPUV-OZ), irradiation of hydrogen peroxide with UV light emitted from a medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamp (MPUV-HP), and peroxone (ozone sparging with hydrogen peroxide dosing). The groundwater influent sample used in this study was a three-way composite (equal parts) of groundwater collected from three site observation wells (Wells MW-11A, MW-40B, and MW-47B). The experiments were performed using a 1-l borosilicate reactor configured to sparge ozone into the test solution.

As these structures age, the need for maintenance strategies has become increasingly important. The Corps has responded to this need by initiating and developing a Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) program. As part of the REMR program, a research effort concentrating on the inspection and rating of roller dam gates has been developed at Iowa State University (ISU). This research effort has established a consistent means of identifying potential problems for roller dam gates through the use of an inspection procedure. The inspection procedure gathers valuable information to help engineers analyze and evaluate the condition of roller gates and more readily implement necessary maintenance or repairs before severe problems develop. Being able to rely on roller dam gates as operating components of a navigation dam or a power dam facility is essential. Roller dam gates are critical for maintaining the upper pool and for use in flood control at lock and power dam facilities. If a dam gate fails, causing the loss of pool, navigation along an entire stretch of river may be at a standstill until the pool is restored. In the case of a power dam project, loss of head results in decreased power generation capacity. JF - Technical Report.

Many existing civil works structures are nearing the end of their design life, yet service to the public must be maintained. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) program was designed to focus attention on maintenance and to record and build baseline data to monitor deterioration rates of these structures. This REMR project addressed equipment used to operate lock, valve, and dam structures, which include assemblies such as: exposed gear assemblies, enclosed gear assemblies, gear rack assemblies, strut arm assemblies, rocker arm assemblies, cable assemblies, chain assemblies, hydraulic cylinder assemblies, and coupling assemblies. Not included in this evaluation of operating equipment are hydraulic motors, pumps, hoses, or valves, limit switches, brakes, electric wiring, and electric motors. JF - Technical Report.

AN - 36404089; 6433 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a protective and recreational beach along a 1.42-mile-long section of badly eroded shoreline immediately south of the South Lake Worth Inlet in southern Florida, is proposed. The area is part of the 23.6 miles of eroded shoreline proposed for restoration work in a final EIS of April 1987; in that document, the restoration of the project was discussed as two separate projects. This final supplement to the final EIS considers the development of a feeder beach as an alternative to the two projects. Beaches at the project site are in a state of critical erosion and shoreline recession. The recommended plan would dredge about 784,300 cubic yards of sand from a borrow site at 27 to 38 feet of water located offshore of the project area which was selected to avoid adverse impacts to nearby deep reefs. The sand would be used as beach fill from 180 feet south of the South Lake Worth Inlet south jetty southward to 120 feet south of survey monument R-159. Eight T-head groins would be installed within the northerly 1,800 feet of the project. The groin field would be designed to add stability to the shoreline immediately south of the inlet. The project would restore the beach for approximately six years, at which time a maintenance nourishment project would be necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects, provide effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation and sea turtle nesting, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. Sand placed within the project limits will also feed the downdrift beaches to the south and reduce the need for other beach nourishment projects in Palm Beach County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered species as manatees and sea turtles.

AN - 36401883; 6416 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach in the communities of Avalon, Stone Harbor, and North Wildwood, and an ecosystem restoration project in Stone Harbor, located in southern New Jersey, is proposed. The 15-mile-long beach has been subject to major flooding during storm events, and continued erosion has resulted in damage to structures and a reduction in the height and width of the beachfront. The area has been declared a Natural Disaster Area three times since 1992. The preferred plan for storm damage and erosion control is beach nourishment and dune creation, along with the construction of stone seawalls along Avalon at Townsends Inlet and along North Wildwood at Hereford Inlet. Beach nourishment would consist of berm and dune restoration from the 8th Street Jetty to approximately 33rd Street in Avalon, and from 71st Street in Avalon to the terminal groin at 127th Street in Stone Harbor. The beachfill would utilize sand obtained from Townsends and Herford Inlets and from an area offshore of Seven Mile Island. The plan would require 3.1 million cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial beachfill placement, with 745,800 cy for periodic nourishment every three years over a 50-year project life. The beach nourishment would involve a 150-foot minimum design width berm with a top elevation of 8.5 feet. The dune would have a top elevation of 16.0 feet and a top width of 25 feet. Dune grass would be placed on 50 acres, along with 42,500 feet of dune fencing. Habitat restoration at Stone Harbor would involve beach restoration and the planting of 64 acres of bayberry and eastern red cedar. Initial project costs for construction are estimated at $53.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and benefit recreational resources. Average annual benefits would be $10.7 million for damage reduction, which when compared to the annual cost of $6.0 million yields a benefit-cost ratio of 1.8, with $4.7 million in net benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would cause the temporary disturbance of biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment.

AN - 16352616; 6412 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of low flows in the Pearl River in the vicinity of Walkiah Bluff near Picayune, Mississippi, is proposed. The study area comprises that portion of the lower Pearl River basin from just upstream of the head of Wilson Slough on the Pearl River downstream to the confluence of Holmes Bayou and the West Pearl River. In recent years, the inlet of Wilson Slough has developed to the extent that more flow is entering Wilson Slough; as a result, the Pearl River near Walkiah Bluff has continued to diminish due to sediment deposition. Recent measurements indicated that only five percent of the flow now continues in the Pearl River past Wilson Slough, a condition that could result in the loss of wetlands and mussels and fisheries resources for a portion of the Pearl River and Holmes Bayou. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended alternative would provide 50 percent distribution during low flow conditions. The plan would involve a rock weir downstream of the head of Wilson Slough and rock-protected earthen closures in Moore's Bayou, Icebox Bayou, Brier Patch Bayou, and an unnamed distributary. Approximately 103,000 cubic yards of sediment would be removed from the Pearl River near Walkiah Bluff in order to develop a pilot channel. Nine acres of land would be cleared for weir and closure construction. The estimated cost of the project is $4.96 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would provide a long-term net gain in wetlands acreage and resource values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately nine acres of terrestrial wetlands would be eliminated by bottomland hardwood clearing. Pilot channel excavation would result in the temporary loss of aquatic habitat. The plan would limit emergent wetland development in a portion of the Pearl River and Holmes Bayou channel.

AN - 16346576; 6405 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 16-mile segment of NC 16 from just north of Lucia to north of NC 150, located in southwestern North Carolina, is proposed. The project is considered necessary to improve access and travel time between the rapidly developing Lake Norman area and the Charlotte metropolitan area. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided, limited-access expressway on a new alignment that would generally run parallel to the existing highway. Three corridor alternatives considered in this final EIS are an Eastern Alternative, a Western Alternative, and a variation of the Western Alternative designated Western 2 Alternative. Under the Eastern Alternative, the facility would diverge from existing NC 16 by 4,000 feet from its intersection with NC 273 and extend parallel to NC 16 about 3,000 feet to the east. It would then skirt the core of the development in Lucia and Lowesville before turning slightly westward north of SR 1397 to cross existing NC 16 just south of SR 1394. The corridor would then run generally parallel to the CSX railroad tracks, bypass Denver to the east and turns northward to intercept existing NC 16 about 7,000 feet north of NC 150. Under the Western Alternative, the facility would turn northward soon after crossing NC 273 and bypass most of Lucia and Lowesville to the west; it would intersect SR 1511 roughly 5,800 feet west of existing NC 16. The corridor would then continue northward, generally parallel to and east of SR 1386. Just north of NC 150, it would turn northeastward to intersect existing NC 16 about 8,200 feet north of NC 150. The preferred alternative (designated Alternative 1) would be a synthesis of the eastern and western alternatives: it would follows the western corridor until it crossed Saint James Road, and would then follow the eastern corridor. The estimated costs of construction and right-of-way are $102.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With the highway improvements, the traffic congestion on existing NC 16 would be eased, and long-term local traffic demands would be accommodated by increasing capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under Alternative 1 would displace 33 homes, three businesses, 9.4 acres of wetlands, 600 acres of upland forest, and 369 acres of prime farmland. In addition, the alignment would cross 55 streams, encroach on 32 acres of flood hazard areas, and adversely affect 37 noise-sensitive sites.

Preparation date: May 14, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RESTORATION OF ASSATEAGUE ISLAND, WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 16344386; 6406 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of beach in the northern section of Assateague Island in Worcester County, Maryland, is proposed. The 300-square-mile project area includes the town of Ocean City, the Ocean City inlet, Assateague Island, and Assawoman, Little Assawoman, Isle of Wight, Sinepuxent, and Chincoteague bays. Because of changing coastal dynamics and dense population and development, the coastal environment has been degraded by inlet and shoreline stabilization. In the 1930s, the Corps of Engineers constructed a jetty system at the Ocean City Inlet in order to minimize future hurricane damage. However, the jetty system has interrupted the flow of sand to Assateague Island for more than 60 years. The island, which was designated a national seashore in 1965, is currently experiencing sand deprivation problems, which might soon result in a breach of the island during a severe ocean storm. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the recommended plan, the short-term restoration plan would involve placing 1.8 million cubic yards of sand on Assateague Island. The borrow area to be used for the project is Great Gull Bank, an offshore shoal, and possibly a small portion of the ebb shoal. The area of Assateague to be renourished extends from 1.6 miles to 7 miles south of the inlet. The distance across the beach in that area would be increased to varying widths based on the erosion rates that affect each part of the beach. A low storm berm would be constructed to an elevation of 10.8 feet. The placement would be configured to restore the integrity of the island and yet to remain sensitive to the Piping Plovers, threatened and endangered birds found on the island. The estimated cost for the short-term plan, including five years of monitoring, is $17.2 million. A long-term plan for dealing with sand deprivation has not yet been developed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and benefit recreational resources by helping to prevent an ocean breach of Assateague Island. An additional inlet would change the dynamics of the area and create serious environmental and economic problems. A breach would result in a significant loss of wetlands as well as losses to recreational opportunities, damage to property, and hazards to navigation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would cause the temporary disturbance of biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment.

Preparation date: May 14, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HOWARD HANSON DAM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 16340197; 6403 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of operations and maintenance for the Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) on the Green River, located in west-central Washington, is proposed. The HHD Project was originally authorized as the Eagle Gorge Dam and Reservoir by the Flood Control Act of 1950. The construction of the dam was completed in 1962. The HHD is a subsidiary earth-filled structure composed of rock fill, sand and gravel core, drain zones, and rock shell protection. The embankment is 235 feet high and 500 feet long and has an inclined core of sand and gravel material. The dam is 960 feet thick at the base decreasing to 23 feet thick at the crest. The total length of the dam is 675 feet. The intake structure also includes trash rack bars, a deck for debris removal, one tractor type emergency gate, and gate hoist equipment located in the gate tower. There are four buildings on the project site, and gravel-surfaced roads provide access to the dam, stilling basin, intake structures, and the reservoir. The primary authorized use of the project is flood control. Three secondary uses are also authorized, such as the augmentation of summer low flows in the Green River, irrigation, and water supply. For flood control, the facility provides a 106,000 acre-feet (maximum) reserve volume behind the dam to store watershed runoff. This space is reserved for the storage of water during the peak flooding seasons. Water is released in a regulated flow that ensures downstream stability. The current reservoir refill and conservation strategy was developed as a result of drought conditions in 1992 and has been continued because of its success. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of December 1995. The preferred alternative (the No Action Alternative) would continue current operation of the project for flood control and low flow augmentation. Alternative 2 would operate for flood control with the original refill plans generally used from 1962 to 1983. Alternative 3 would operate for flood control with 98 percent reliability of full refill with delay of refill for outmigration of upper watershed fish, a strategy generally used from 1984 to 1992. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains public comments and agency responses as well as appendix materials on flood control operations. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The refill would provide maximum flows (below a threshold) to downstream fisheries while balancing the need for refill of the reservoir to a full conservation pool elevation of 1,141 feet and minimizing entrapment of downstream migrating salmon and steelhead smolts. Earlier refill would benefit waterfowl by creating favorable nesting conditions earlier and providing a large food supply of trapped smolts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 200,000 smolts could outmigrate from upstream through the HHD under the preferred alternative; it is assumed up to 90 percent of these smolts could be delayed or entrapped in the reservoir due to the earlier refill strategy. Some 13 hunter-gatherer sites and one site with historic and hunter-gatherer components have been identified within the current operating levels of the reservoir, and could be undergoing the effects of erosion, deflation, and redeposition as a result of reservoir fluctuation. The HHD's effect on instream flows and hydrology in the river channel and bordering riparian zones would add to the cumulative wetland impacts in the lower watershed.

Preparation date: May 12, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED EXERCISE OF OPTION PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH LSP ENERGY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FOR SUPPLY OF ELECTRIC ENERGY, BATESVILLE GENERATION FACILITY, PANOLA COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 16344434; 6407 AB - PURPOSE: The purchase by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) of additional electric power from LSP Energy Limited Partnership, an affiliate of LS Power, LLC, is proposed. TVA has entered into an electric energy option purchase agreement with LSP, and under the terms of that agreement, TVA may elect to purchase 750 megawatts (MW) of firm electric capacity and energy from a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant that LSP proposes to construct and operate in the Batesville Industrial Park in the city of Batesville, Mississippi. Batesville is located in Panola County, roughly 140 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi. LSP is currently evaluating proposals from contractors for construction of the facility. Its output would range from 750 MW to 1,110 MW. If LSP were to build a project with output greater than 750 MW, the additional output would be offered for sale to TVA or other utilities in the area. The plant would be constructed on a 50-acre site in a developing industrial park in the northeast corner of the city of Batesville. The generation facility and related onsite structures would occupy about half of the 50-acre site. Facilities would include two or three combustion turbines fueled by natural gas and two or three heat recovery steam generators, one to three steam turbines, two or three electric generators, air pollution control equipment, a cooling tower, natural gas supply facilities, onsite storage facilities for back-up fuel oil supplies, water supply and treatment facilities, wastewater treatment and discharge facilities, and an electric switchyard and transmission lines. Two water supply options are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred option, up to 10.9 million gallons per day would be pumped to the generation facility from Enid Lake. The pipelines would be either 11.5 miles or 13.5 miles in length, depending on the pipeline route selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Consumer, legislative, and utility actions across the nation are changing the electric utility industry from a regulated monopoly to a more competitive marketplace. The agreement with LSP gives TVA maximum flexibility, allowing TVA to take the new facility offline when its system electricity demand is low or when lower-cost electricity is available from another source. The project would benefit the local economy, employing 560 construction workers and 40 plant workers once the facility is operational. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The generation facility would remove 30 acres of agricultural land from production. The construction of the water pipeline would permanently convert approximately 28.5 acres of bottomland and upland forest, and 6.0 acres of wetlands.

AN - 16343661; 6402 AB - PURPOSE: The decertification of the Mud Dump Site in the New York Bight as an area for dredged material disposal and the reclassification of it as a Historic Area Remediation Site (HARS) is proposed. The Mud Dump Site was designated for disposal of material dredged from the Port of New York and New Jersey. The Mud Dump Site is a shallow ocean disposal site located approximately six miles south-southeast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, and 11 miles southwest of Rockaway, New York. As defined in the final EIS, the surface area of the site would be two kilometers wide and four kilometers long. Its presumed capacity at the time of designation was 100 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged material. Since 1984, the site has received 68 mcy of material. In 1995, the EPA conducted toxicity tests on benthic samples taken over a 23-square-mile area. Some of the samples showed acute levels of toxicity. Additional tests showed that sediment contaminants were being bioaccumulated in lower trophic levels. Furthermore, several shipwrecks were located in the study area, requiring an evaluation of the reef habitat created by the wrecks and the eligibility of the wrecks for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft supplement to final EIS of March 1983. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the Mud Dump Site would be closed in September 1997 and a 54-square-kilometer HARS would be designated. The remediation would primarily involve capping the degraded sediment areas with at least one meter of fine-grain silt and clay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Degraded surface sediments in nearshore waters pose a direct threat to the marine ecosystem and an indirect threat to human health. The remediation efforts would significantly reduce the bioaccumulation of toxic substances by benthic and pelagic organisms. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Small areas of unremediated sediments would remain in the vicinity of HARS shipwrecks and continue to adversely affect fish and shellfish resources at these habitats. The remediation efforts would also create short-term turbidity and habitat disruptions.

AN - 16353631; 6396 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge to carry Interstate 95 (I-95) across the New Haven Harbor to connect New Haven, West Haven, and East Haven, Connecticut, is proposed. The existing six-lane Quinnipiac River Bridge (Q-Bridge) crossing the harbor is inadequate to serve traffic demands. Seven alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of September 1991. In response to public objections to these alternatives, seven new alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were developed in this draft supplement to the draft EIS. Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 would involve the construction of a bridge immediately south of the existing Q-Bridge, which would be demolished; the new bridge would provide seven lanes under Alternative 1 and eight lanes under Alternative 2. Alternative 3, Alternative 4, and Alternative 6 would involve the rehabilitation and reconfiguration of the existing Q-Bridge, resulting in a structure containing six to eight lanes and widened safety shoulders or a high-occupancy-vehicle lanes. The rehabilitation would include the construction of a new bridge deck. Alternative 5 would involve the construction of a ten-lane bridge in a two-stage manner in order to use as much of the existing Q-Bridge footprint as possible. The existing Q-Bridge would be demolished. All of the build alternatives would include the development of commuter rail lines and other mass transit incentives and transportation system management components. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $462.5 million to $850.4 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The capacity of the I-95 harbor crossing, which is currently substandard, would be increased significantly and brought up to interstate highway standards. Easing traffic movements within the corridor would reduce emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 2 to 6 dwelling units, and 11 to 26 commercial establishments. The utility relocation requirements would include electrical transmission towers, jet fuel lines, sanitary sewers, and/or force mains. Benthic habitat, including leased shellfish beds, would be displaced. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at 13 to 17 sites. Bridge structures would adversely affect visual aesthetics in the area. Coastal floodplain encroachment would occur. Some historic and archaeological resources would be adversely affected.

AN - 16339728; 7465 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge to carry Interstate 95 (I-95) across the New Haven Harbor to connect New Haven, West Haven, and East Haven, located in southern Connecticut, is proposed. The existing six-lane Quinnipiac River Bridge (Q-Bridge) crossing the harbor is inadequate to serve traffic demands. Seven alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of September 1991. In response to public objections to these alternatives, seven new alternatives, including a No- Build Alternative, were considered in the draft supplement to the draft EIS of April 1997. Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 would involve the construction of a bridge immediately south of the existing Q-Bridge, which would be demolished; the bridge would provide seven lanes under Alternative 1 and eight lanes under Alternative 2. Alternative 3, Alternative 4, and Alternative 6 would involve the rehabilitation and reconfiguration of the existing Q-Bridge, resulting in a structure containing six to eight lanes and widened safety shoulders or a high- occupancy-vehicle lanes. The rehabilitation would include the construction of a new bridge deck. Alternative 5 would involve the construction of a ten-lane bridge in a two-stage manner in order to use as much of the existing Q-Bridge footprint as possible. The existing Q-Bridge would be demolished. All of the build alternatives would include the development of commuter rail lines and other mass transit incentives and transportation system management components. The alternative recommended in this final EIS constitutes a selection from components of the alternatives presented in the draft supplement. The recommended action consists of transit and transportation systems management components; a 10-lane bridge harbor crossing, with adequate inside and outside shoulders (temporarily striped for eight travel lanes due to construction sequencing); and six travel lanes on I-95 within the existing I-95 right-of-way from Interchange 51 to Interchange 54. The project would tie into the existing system through the Long Wharf area and would feature a slight relocation of Interchange 46. The estimated cost of the recommended alternative is $979.0 million (1998 dollars), including $20 million in right-of-way acquisition costs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The capacity of the I-95 harbor crossing, which is currently substandard, would be increased significantly and brought up to interstate highway standards. Easing traffic movements within the corridor would reduce emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 20 commercial structures and 220 parking spaces in New Haven, East Haven, and Branford as well as one public school in New Haven. A total of 303 employees would be displaced, and annual tax losses would amount to $212,295. Two historic structures and two architecturally significant structures would be displaced. The excavation of footings for the bridge could adversely affect archaeological resources associated with early Native American activities. The levels of water pollutants transported in runoff would exceed federal standards. The project structures would displace 35 square yards of intertidal flats, 156 square yards of harbor bottom, 1,553 cubic yards of net estuarine embayment, and approximately two acres of wetland, and encroach upon 3.6 acres of floodplain.

AN - 16348428; 6393 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of water transportation facilities and their connection to the Newport Gateway intermodal transportation center on Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island, is proposed. The 19-mile-long island is located near the easterly shore of Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay, approximately 30 miles southeast of Providence. The island includes the city of Newport, town of Middletown, and most of the town of Portsmouth. The island, a popular summer resort, lacks the parking facilities and roadways to handle huge increase in automobile traffic. The Gateway Center, which is located within walking distance of Newport's downtown area and waterfront, was built in 1986 to provide intermodal connections between pedestrians, commuter buses, interstate motor coaches, airport shuttles, taxis, a scenic railroad, and public parking. The proposed action would involve developing marine passenger facilities with connections to the Newport Gateway transportation center. Depending on water depth, landside access, and related landside facilities, the project would provide berths for high-speed commuter ferries, island ferries, cruise ships, tenders, water buses, and/or water taxis. Seven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives would involve improving the water taxi and island ferry service at Fort Adams State Park; constructing a trestle and pier to berth one cruise ship off the west side of Goat Island; constructing a pier and other structures south of Goat Island for high-speed commuter ferries, island ferries, cruise ship tenders, and water taxis; constructing similar facilities at Perotti Park in Newport; and refurbishing existing piers at the U.S. naval base in Middletown and Melville Marine, Portsmouth for the berthing of cruise ships. The preferred alternative could combine some of these build alternatives. The construction costs of the build alternatives range from $1.9 million to $7.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of any of the build alternatives would enhance the quality and convenience of marine public transportation to and from Aquidneck Island, preserve the historic character and architectural resources of the Newport Harbor area, minimize residential disruption, and reduce congestion on downtown Newport streets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Three of the facilities would be located in close proximity to existing neighborhoods and residential areas. Cruise ship berths would alter the visual character of existing harbors. Small tracts of eelgrass beds and wetlands would be adversely affected by some of the projects. Minor impacts to fishery resources could occur from the resuspension of contaminated sediments.

Today's landfills, when built to regulatory standards, are unlikely to be critical, but older landfills can be seriously hazardous. Consequently, the hazards are graded as: (1) none to negligible; (2) low; (3) moderate; and (4) great. For non-critical sites, motions may be obtained from a probabilistic map but a deterministic map, if available, is preferred as part of a non-site-specific investigation; however, for critical sites, a deterministic, site-specific evaluation should be made. Motions must be specified appropriately for the type of analysis, whether it is for foundation liquefaction, stability of slopes, integrity of barriers, earth pressures, or the design of appurtenant structures.

AN - 16349496; 6390 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures within the floodplain of the Levina Fork Basin in northwestern Virginia and southeastern Kentucky is proposed. The 164-mile-long Levina Fork Basin is located within the rugged, maturely dissected Cumberland Plateau section of the Appalachian Highlands. The Levisa Fork begins in Buchanan County, Virginia, and flows northwest to meet the Russell Fork at Millard, Kentucky. The project area extends along the mainstem Levisa Fork from Louisa, Kentucky to the downstream incorporated limits of the town of Grundy, Virginia, and along the mainstem Russell Fork from its confluence with the Levisa Fork at Millard, Kentucky, to a point 4.26 miles upstream of the town of Haysi, Virginia. The project area has experienced numerous floods in the past 130 years. The city of Pikeville has suffered 52 damaging floods since 1903, and the city of Prestonburg, Kentucky, has suffered 20 damaging floods since 1961. Because of the area's topography, most of the level developable land is located in the flood hazard area. Thus, most of the communities in the project area are threatened by recurring floods. The flood of record occurred in 1977, a 200-year flood event in Pikeville. A recurrence of such a flood would damage over 4,700 structures at a cost of $226.3 million. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All four of the action alternatives would include upgrading the existing flood warning system and emergency evacuation plan and enforcement of the National Flood Insurance Program and associated floodplain management ordinances. The locally preferred plan (Plan 5) would involve the construction of a dam on the Russell Fork approximately 4.6 miles upstream from Haysi. The dam would provide full flood protection for 1,062 structures within the basin and partial protection to 3,448 additional structures. The reservoir would have a maximum flood control pool elevation of 869 water surface acres for storing six inches of flood runoff in the project basin. In August and September, flow releases up to 825 cubic feet per second would be made to whitewater recreation activities. The estimated cost of the project is $960.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the action alternatives, the project would provide improved flood protection for the area and reduce the economic burdens of flooding, while providing opportunities for further commercial development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Plan 5, 195 families with residences in the dam and reservoir area would be displaced over a four-year period. The loss of 11.4 miles of Russell Fork would adversely affect fishing opportunities. Approximately 292 structures located downstream from the dam have been identified as being eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; some of these structures could be removed from the floodplain.

AN - 36412867; 6376 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway extending north to south approximately 57 to 63 miles, connecting Texarkana in Arkansas and Texas and US 71 north of DeQueen, Arkansas, is proposed. The highway would replace existing US 71, a two-lane highway with basic design deficiencies. The project would be built to interstate standards and utilize sections of existing and proposed Loops 245 and 151 to reach Interstate 30 on the north side of Texarkana. The facility, which would be part of the National Highway System, would constitute one section of a freeway connecting Kansas City, Missouri, and Shreveport, Louisiana. For analysis purposes, the project area was divided into seven corridors and two to four build alternatives are considered within each corridor. Nineteen alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. From the north side of Texarkana, the proposed alignments cross I-30, either in northwest Texarkana (Texas) or northeast Texarkana (Arkansas), and extend northward across the Red River. The alternatives then run north-south and vary from locations just east of existing US 71 on the east to locations near Horatio and State Highway 41 on the west. Cost estimates range from $349.7 million to $403.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, traffic congestion along the existing US 71 would be relieved; economic development in northwestern Arkansas would be enhanced; and regional transportation would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 86 residences, 15 businesses, 1,868 acres of prime farmland, and 56.6 acres of wetlands. Noise levels would increase substantially in selected areas; up to 170 sensitive receptors would be adversely impacted. The project would adversely affect one historic site and up to 23 archaeological sites.

AN - 36409370; 6356 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a confined disposal facility (CDF) in Newark Bay in order to receive contaminated materials dredged from the New York-New Jersey Harbor is proposed. The project area is defined as the harbor waters contiguous to New Jersey, including Newark Bay, the Arthur Kill, and Kill Van Kull. The dredging of shipping channels and berthing areas in the Port of New York and New Jersey is necessary to maintain sufficient water depth for safe navigation and a viable shipping industry. Sediment buildup, a result of the natural shallowness of the port and high sedimentation rates, clogs the port and makes it impossible to accommodate deeper-draft vessels. Up to six thousand cubic yards (cy) of sediment must be dredged annually to maintain safe water depths. In recent years, dredging operations have been hampered by the lack of disposal sites for dredged materials. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction of sub-aqueous borrow pits in Newark Bay as a short-term alternative for the disposal of contaminated materials considered unsuitable for ocean disposal. The pits would be located on the west side of Newark Bay near the Port Newark-Port Elizabeth terminals. The CDF would have a combined capacity of three million cy. Other alternatives include the construction of only one of the CDFs, the construction of a CDF on the east side of Newark Bay, and the construction of CDF on both sides of the bay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The CDF would ensure that port facilities would continue to operate while a long-term disposal plan for contaminated dredged material is being developed. The CDF would operate from September 1997 through the year 2000, at which point a long-term plan would be put into effect. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb two percent of the Newark Bay's bottom shoal area and kill some benthic organisms and demersal fish. Turbidity would increase at the disposal sites.

Preparation date: April 4, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SEVEN OAKS DAM WATER CONSERVATION, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36401553; 6354 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a seasonal water conservation plan at Seven Oaks Dam, located within the San Bernardino National Forest in southeastern California, is proposed. The dam, which is already under construction and scheduled for completion in 1999, is being built for flood protection as part of the Santa Ana River Project. The 550-foot-high earth-rockfill dam, located in the steep-walled upper Santa Ana River Canyon, will have a gross capacity of 145,600 acre-feet (af). The dam will reduce the reservoir design inflow of 85,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to a controlled outflow of 500 cfs during a rising flood pool at Prado Dam. The maximum outflow from Seven Oaks Dam is 7,000 cfs. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the dam would provide only flood control, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the locally preferred alternative (Alternative 1), beginning March 1, the seasonal conservation pool would be expanded linearly for 10 days to a target conservation storage elevation of 2,300 feet on March 10 (16,293 af for present conditions and 7,194 af for future conditions). The plan would increase annual water supply yields by 4,120 af (170 percent) by the year 2000 and by 2,140 af by the year 2050. The impoundment area of the reservoir would increase by 182 acres. From March 10 through May, all inflow would be released from the dam after the target elevation was reached. From June through September, all inflow plus a conservation release would be made to ensure the conservation pool was drained by the end of September. Demolition and modifications to a portion of the Seven Oaks Dam intake structure and the addition of anchors would be required to operate and maintain the dam. New access roads would be constructed to replace existing roads that would be inundated by rising water levels. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would help in meeting water demands in southern California during the peak summer use periods. The project would have average annual benefits of $868,000, and a benefit-cost ration of 1.29. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Planned construction activities would result in short-term erosion and the accumulation of sediment and debris in area waterways.

AN - 36401460; 6358 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Lower Monongahela River navigation system in southwestern Pennsylvania is proposed. The study area includes the Lower Monongahela River from the Point in Pittsburgh at river mile 0.0 to river mile 41.5, the site of locks and dam (L&D) 4. L&D 2 is located in Braddock at river mile 11.2 and consists of a fixed-crest dam with a 110-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. The dam is approximately 85 years old and the locks are approximately 37 years old. L&D 3 is located in Elizabeth at river mile 23.8 and consists of a fixed-crest dam with a 56-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. Both the dam and the locks are approximately 84 years old. L&D 4 is located in Charleroi and consists of a gated dam with a 56-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. The dam is approximately 24 years old and the locks are approximately 59 years old. Poor structural conditions and inadequate navigational features characterize the system. Structural problems include unstable foundations and deteriorating concrete. The selected improvement plan would involve removing the locks and dam of L&D 3, rebuilding the dam of L&D 2, and replacing the locks of L&D 4. This draft supplement to the final EIS of December 1991 examines disposal alternatives for 3.4 million cubic yards of material resulting from excavation and dredging. Local residents and several government agencies raised objections to the two disposal sites proposed in the final EIS. Three additional disposal alternatives are considered in this draft supplement. The preferred site (Victory Hollow) is located on the left bank of the Monongahela River at river mile 34.5. The total site easement area is 305 acres. Access would be provided from an off-highway haul road extending from a barge unloading facility. The other two alternatives would involve in-river disposal and the use of a brownfield site in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The use of the preferred disposal site would alleviate the need for the relocation of 14 residences and one business. The preferred site has already been disturbed by deep and strip mining. The site would benefit from the fill placement which would provide cover for barren landscapes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The fill activities at the preferred disposal site would have temporary adverse effects on the local wildlife and aquatic populations. Palmer Park is adjacent to the proposed disposal site. During fill activities, Palmer Park users would be subject to increased noise and dust.

AN - 36388120; 6355 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of three leach facilities and a waste rock disposal facility by Cyprus Miami Mining Corporation in order to support the continued operation of the company's copper mining operation, located near Miami in east-central Arizona, is proposed. The existing facilities at the mine include leaching facilities, open pits, solution collection reservoirs, a solvent extraction facility, an electrowinning plant, and waste rock disposal facilities on both private and public lands. The complex also includes a smelter, electro-refinery, and a rod plant. The facility expansion would enable the applicant to maintain the current level of operations of the mine for 16 to 20 years, producing an average of 29 million tons per year. The three leach pads would be used for the placement and subsequent leaching of copper-bearing ore mined from reserves owned by the applicant. Material placed on the pads would be rinsed with sulfuric acid solutions, and the resulting copper-bearing solution would be collected and treated at the existing solvent extraction and electro-winning plants to produce high-quality cathode copper. The waste rock area would be used for storing the uneconomic nonmineral material removed from the mining pits. The expansion would also require the construction of access and haul roads, solution pipelines, and surface water control structures. The facilities would be constructed on 286 acres belonging to the applicant, 350 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management, and 489 acres managed by the Forest Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enable the mine to continue operating at its current level to the year 2008, at which point its work force would be reduced by 10 percent each year. Under the No Action Alternative, those workforce reductions would commence in 1998. The continued operation of the mine would provide $1.1 billion in tax revenue to Gila County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 771 acres of public land and result in the loss of 9.22 acres of open water, drainages, and wetlands.

AN - 36405539; 6352 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a highway, the Intercounty Connector (ICC), between the Interstate 270 (I-270) corridor near Rockville and Gaithersburg and the I-95 corridor near Laurel, Maryland, is proposed. Currently, the I-270 corridor is linked to the I-95 corridor by I-495, the beltway around Washington, District of Columbia. Issues of concern include the effects on the social environment, cultural resources, the natural environment, air quality, and noise levels. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Upgrade Existing Roads Alternative would include widening the existing east-west roads, increasing the capacity of the major intersections, providing a commuter parking lot in northern Montgomery County, and improving bus service between the Rockville/Shady Grove area and Laurel, Maryland. The Master Plan Alternative (MPA) would involve the construction of a six-lane divided, multimodal facility with full-access control, extending from existing I-370 near Shady Grove to US 1 south of Laurel, a distance of 17.5 miles. The Northern Alternative would have the same design features as the MPA but a slightly different alignment for a 19.4-mile-long facility. The Midcounty Highway/MD 198 Alternative would involve the construction of a six-lane, divided highway with a 30-foot-wide median and a parkway-type design. The 16.7-mile-long facility would reuse a portion of existing MD 198. The estimated costs of the ICC range from $460.0 million to $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The ICC would provide additional access between I-270 and I-95. It could help relieve congestion along I-270, I-495, and existing east-west roadways and sustain regional economic growth patterns. The improvements could also reduce the number of accidents on area roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the action alternatives would displace up to 139 residences, 35 businesses, 145 acres of parkland, 165 acres of active farmland, 21.5 acres of wetlands, 60 acres of floodplain, 552 acres of forest, portions of seven historic properties, and two archeological sites. In addition, up to 77 streams and 60.1 acres of floodplain would be crossed. The facility would adversely affect noise levels at up to 61 sites. None of the ICC alternatives would have a substantial impact on the levels of service experienced by motorists on I-495, I-270, or I-95 within the study area.

The main objective of this study was to determine the technical feasibility of using peroxone systems for treatment of contaminated groundwaters at the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant (CAAP). The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) selected CAAP for the evaluation of peroxone oxidation technology since this site is included on the National Priorities List and due to the relatively high concentration of explosives, namely octahydro-1,3,5,7- tetranitro-1,3,5-tetrazine (HMX), hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), trinitrobenzene (TNB), trinitrotoluene (TNT), 4-aminco-dinitrotoluene (4A-DNT), 2-amino-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT), and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) present. The peroxone oxidation pilot system used in this study was constructed and assembled by the WES Environmental Restoration Branch and the WES Public Works Division. The unit consisted of four glass columns (6 ft in diameter and 14 ft in height) plumbed in series, a holding tank (500 gal) for influent water supply, two 3-lb per day ozone generators, a microcomputer for data logging, oxidizer injection systems, and monitors for vapor and aqueous phase concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and ozone. The feasibility of using peroxone treatment for remediation of explosives-contaminated water was evaluated using water from three different wells: Wells 22, 66, and a "New Well" that was constructed during the peroxone evaluations. Several oxidizer mass ratios (H2O2/O3), modes of hydrogen peroxide injection (batch or continuous), and hydraulic residence times were studied.

The flow cross-section is rectangular, the flow width is uniform, the channel bed is flat; the plan shape is sine-generated. In contrast to previous works, where the computed flow patterns were of the same character, irrespective of the sinuosity of the channel, it is found, on the basis of present experiments, that every different plan geometry of a meandering flow has its own flow picture. In the case of "small" sinuosity, the flow convectively accelerates at the inner bank between the crossover- and apex-sections; if, however, the sinuosity is "large", the flow convectively decelerates in the same region. The convergence-divergence areas (in flow plan) of the present flows are in coincidence with the location of erosion-deposition zones in meandering streams, confirming that the convective behaviour of the vertically-averaged flow alone is sufficient to induce the bed and bank deformation.

Yet it is unclear whether the prospect of such change is relevant to water resources management decisions being made today. We model a shoreline protection decision problem with a stochastic dynamic program (SDP) to determine whether consideration of the possibility of climate change would alter the decision. Three questions are addressed with the SDP: (l) How important is climate change compared to other uncertainties?, (2) What is the economic loss if climate change uncertainty is ignored?, and (3) How does belief in climate change affect the timing of the decision? In the case study, sensitivity analysis shows that uncertainty in real discount rates has a stronger effect upon the decision than belief in climate change. Nevertheless, a strong belief in climate change makes the shoreline protection project less attractive and often alters the decision to build it. Copyright 1997 by the American Geophysical Union.

The adopted methodology explicitly incorporates uncertainty of key parameters and functions into economic benefit and performance analysis. Monte Carlo simulation is used to derive expected values of outputs considering the uncertainty in the discharge-exceedance probability, stage-discharge, and damage-stage functions. A new computer program has been developed that incorporates the risk-based procedures into the formulation and evaluation process. This paper summaries the traditional methods, describes the risk-based analysis approach, and presents results of an example application using the newly developed computer program.

This article describes how aesthetic design can be achieved through relatively simple, cost-effective measures. The author submits that successful aesthetic design cannot be accomplished as a after-thought. Instead, she proposes that aesthetics be considered as an integral part of project design. Its success requires a paradigm change-from approaching water resources projects as strictly engineering problems to developing holistic solutions using the expertise of multi-disciplinary teams.

Through the evolution of Personal Computers (PCs), people who once relied on letters, the telephone, or even face-to-face encounters to obtain information from the Corps of Engineers' Reservoir Regulation Section, now have the option of querying several databases in order to obtain this information. As PCs and the Internet become commonplace in the workplace and continue to be found more and more in the home, their role in data dissemination at the government level will continue to increase dramatically. The Pittsburgh District has successfully developed an information system that allows the government to better serve the needs of the public, by giving access to desired information that has been compiled by a government office.

AN - 36414123; 6345 AB - PURPOSE: The development and incorporation into the Vail Ski Area of the Category III area in White River National Forest, located near Vail in central Colorado, is proposed. Vail Associates, Inc., (VA) operates the ski area under terms of a 40-year term special use permit (SUP) which was issued by the Forest Service in 1992. The 4,100-acre category III area (CAT III) is located about 90 miles west of Denver. The CAT III area, an undeveloped portion of the SUP area, was identified in the Vail Ski Area Master Development Plan (MDP) that was accepted by the Forest Service in 1986. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered in the final EIS of August 1996. The proposed action (Alternative C, the preferred alternative) would add approximately 885 acres of mostly intermediate level, lift-accessed ski terrain to the Vail Ski Area. The primary elements would include the construction of four ski lifts, a skiway/road system, ski trails, a restaurant, two warming shelters and food service facilities, utilities, ski patrol facilities, and three bridges spanning Two Elk Creek. No additional snowmaking, water withdrawals, or summer recreation programs would be part of the project. Alternative B (the Center Ridge alternative) would not develop as much land as the proposed action. Alternative D would reflect the goals and objectives of the 1986 MDP. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers the off-site effects of the preferred alternative and the types of changes necessary to the White River forest plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would offer more effective recreation utilization of public lands without creating additional demands and impacts to off-site lands and communities. It would also fulfill the broad management goals of the White River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The current roadless character of much of the CAT III area, and the related aesthetic qualities of the land, would be destroyed by development. Lynx populations and habitat would be disrupted. Heritage and other values would be reduced due to development within and/or adjacent to wetland and riparian areas. Clearing vegetation would accelerate erosion. LEGAL MANDATES: National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-522).

AN - 36409269; 6343 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of the U.S. Army Chemical School and the U.S. Army Military Police School from Fort McClellan in Alabama to Fort Leonard Wood (FLW) in Missouri is proposed. FLW is located south of Interstate 44, about 120 miles southwest of Saint Louis, Missouri. Fort McClellan in Alabama is scheduled for closing as part of a nationwide reduction in military force structure. The Army Chemical School provides education and training in detecting and identifying nuclear, biological, and chemical agents; protection measures against such agents; and use of smoke and other obscurants to protect soldiers in battle. The Army Military Police School is responsible for training military police. Issues identified during the scoping process include the effects of fog oil training on air quality, water resources, and soil; storage and handling of hazardous materials; and effects of anticipated population increases on public services. The Army's proposed action would relocate these two schools within the same general area as the U.S. Army Engineer Center at FLW so that the three schools could share classroom space and other facilities. Modifications or construction of buildings or facilities would be necessary to provide classroom space, housing, dining facilities, and vehicle maintenance and storage facilities. The $200-million construction effort would be completed in eight phases. In addition to the permanent party personnel relocations, the realignment would result in an increase of 2,130 trainees, 1,165 students, and 83 civilian students. The realignment would represent a 67 percent increase of FLW's population. A third training facility at Fort McClellan, the Chemical Defense Training Facility, would continue to operate at its present location until a replacement facility at FLW is constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of the three schools would maximize the synergism that exists between the Fort McClellan schools and the Army Engineer School, thereby reducing costs and improving training effectiveness. Local economic impact of the relocation would be positive in that it would provide a $56.0 million increase in annual regional business volume. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The projected use of 84,500 gallons of oil each year for fog oil training would exceed the annual and daily limits of the current permit and degrade air quality. In addition, the use of 22,550 gallons of fuel each year for flame fuel expedient deterrents training would degrade soil and water quality. Planned construction would disturb 1,053 acres, including some likely habitat areas for the Indiana Bat and the gray bat.

Preparation date: March 27, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NINE-FOOT NAVIGATION CHANNEL PROJECT, CHANNEL MAINTENANCE PLAN, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER HEAD OF NAVIGATION AT MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, TO GUTTENBERG, IOWA. AN - 36412735; 6341 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Channel Maintenance Management Plan (CMMP) for maintaining a nine-foot navigation channel, along with commercial and small-boat harbors, on the upper Mississippi River between Guttenberg, Iowa, and the head of navigation at Minneapolis, Minnesota, is proposed. Actions for maintaining the navigable portions of the lower Minnesota and lower St. Croix Rivers are also proposed. The project area extends for 243.6 miles along the Mississippi River, 14.7 miles along the Minnesota River, 24.5 miles along the St. Croix River, and 1.4 miles along the Black River. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Great I Channel Maintenance Plan), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (the CMMP) would consolidate previous planning efforts into a comprehensive long-term management plan for channel and harbor maintenance related activities on the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). The CMMP would include five basic actions: dredging; disposal of dredged materials; constructing and modifying channel structures; removing snags from authorized portions of the UMR, the Minnesota River, and the Saint Croix River; and developing a program for comprehensive management of recreational beach sites through dredged material placement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would facilitate navigation of the nine-foot channel and allow for the movement of bulk commodities at considerable savings to shippers over alternative transportation methods. Economic effects from commercial navigation include spending and employment generated by the commercial navigation industry, including wages, fuel, supplies, rents, and terminal expenses. Approximately 78 percent of the dredged material would be used beneficially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would disturb and/or destroy fish and wildlife habitat as a result of dredging and dredged material placement site use. The CMMP would adversely affect approximately 2,988 acres of main channel habitat, 360 acres of upland habitat, 293 acres of floodplain habitat, and 213 acres of wetland/aquatic habitat through dredging and dredged material placement site use. Approximately 41 acres wetland loss would occur as a result of the development of Blackhawk Park.

AN - 36410150; 6325 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 31-mile section of Route 60 from the interchange with the Van Buren bypass just east of Van Buren to Route 67 north of Poplar Bluff, located in southeast Missouri, is proposed. The project corridor includes community of Ellsinore, Missouri; holdings of the Mark Twain National Forest; and areas characterized by karst topography. Ten Mile Creek, Cane Creek, Goose Creek, Carter Creek, and other tributary streams dissect the project area. An upgraded roadway would consist of a four-lane facility with two traffic lanes in each direction and full-paved shoulders, separated by a depressed grassy median. The existing roadway is characterized by substandard geometrics, inadequate shoulder widths, and a high fatality rate. High traffic volumes, in combination with a narrow roadway and substandard shoulders on the existing bridges at Cane and Goose creeks, have created an unsafe condition on Route 60. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the roadway would follow an alignment just to the south of existing Route 60 from the Van Buren bypass to the intersection with Route T, just outside the national forest. It would then follow the existing Route 60 alignment for most of the remainder of the route. Also under consideration is an upgrade alternative. The estimated cost for construction and rights-of-way is $148.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would reduce accident rates on existing Route 60 and adjoining routes, and improve regional transportation efficiency and economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would displace approximately 235 acres of prime farmland, result in 45 residential and 7 commercial relocations, and adversely affect 7.0 acres of wetlands, and 732 acres of woodlands. In addition, 83 acres of floodplain would be filled, and three permanent streams and 28 intermittent streams would be crossed.

AN - 36399441; 6314 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of South Locust Street (also known as Old Highway 281) in the vicinity of Grand Island, Nebraska, is proposed. The project would provide a roadway connection form Interstate 80 (I-80) to Grand Island along the alignment of South Locust Street and include a new interchange at I-80, located approximately seven miles from City Hall. These improvements would provide a faster, more direct route to the Grand Island central business district (CBD). The project would begin 0.5 miles south of I-80 and continue north approximately 5.5 miles to a point 1,200 feet north of US Highway 34 (US 34). It would consist of the upgrade of the existing two-lane rural section to a four-lane, limited-access roadway for most of the project length, with a five-lane urban segment from the Grand Island city limits to US 34. The project would include widening three or four of the existing South Locust Street bridges over channels of the Platte River for southbound traffic, building new bridges east of the existing ones for northbound traffic, and widening the I-80 overpass. The preferred design for the new interchanges is a diamond with a loop in the southwest quadrant. Total project costs range from $23.3 million to $28.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would tap into the national market which traverses I-80, bring it into the Grand Island CBD, and generate revenue for existing downtown and South Locust Street businesses. The project would be expected to generate more visitor traffic, new business, new jobs, and an increased tax base for the city and the county. Additional benefits would be a reduction in traffic volume at the I-80/US 281 interchange, which should help to improve the level of service and alleviate safety problems; a reduction in the official sign mileage to Grand Island, which is perceived as a significant deterrent to visitor traffic; and the creation of an attractive entrance to the city through the use of land use controls to maintain the existing agricultural uses and natural image along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative, using the existing alignment and the diamond interchange with the loop design, would require 129.8 acres for rights-of-way and 175.4 acres of additional takings. Some 58 acres of prime farmland and 7.2 acres of wetlands would be displaced. Two residences would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards, and seven irrigation wells would require relocation. Approximately 300 trees would be removed. The Grand Island Skeet and Sporting Clays Club would be relocated; this action was the subject of separate Section 4(f) Statement.

AN - 36404458; 6313 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a sediment management plan for the San Gabriel Canyon, located in southern California, is proposed. The project area's northern portion is located in Angeles National Forest and includes areas surrounding Cogswell Reservoir, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River, San Gabriel Reservoir, and Morris Reservoir. The southern portion includes unincorporated private lands along the San Gabriel River south of Morris Dam, the northwest portion of Azusa near Duarte, the Santa Fe Flood Control Basin in Irwindale, and adjacent areas. The goals of the plan are to insure that floodwaters into the San Gabriel River between Morris Dam and downstream reservoirs are controlled, so that the capacity of the inflow channel to the Santa Fe Flood Control Basin does not exceed 98,000 cubic feet per second, the capacity required to control runoff from a 50-year storm; the water storage capacity of the reservoirs is maintained so water can be held and released for beneficial uses as has been historical practice; and sediment that is deposited near reservoir outlet towers is promptly and periodically removed to protect valves from drainage. Current conditions in the reservoir threaten to exceed all three criteria. The plan would include actions at each of the three reservoirs and disposal sites. These actions, called maintenance clean-outs, would periodically remove sediment on a frequent basis to maintain reservoir capacity and meet project objectives. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives under consideration include variously alternating no action, sluice construction, dredging, flow-assisted sediment transport (FAST), an 18-inch pipeline to carry slurry out of the canyon, the use of trucks and conveyors to remove slurry, and the placement of sediments in the San Gabriel riverbed (to be flushed by normal storm activity) or one of four sediment placement sites. Under the preferred plan (a combination of Alternative 4 and Alternative 5), the implementation would be comprised of sluice at San Gabriel and Morris reservoirs, river sediment placement, and mechanical excavation from Cogswell Reservoir and shipment by truck. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, includes corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, people and property located downstream of the project area would be protected from floods, and water would be conserved for beneficial and useful purposes. Under the No Action Alternative, implementation could bring about the loss of jobs and housing, and a degraded social environment, in the event of flooding. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, implementation would cause significant adverse environmental impacts. Sediment fill would permanently alter topography at placement sites or reservoirs; river placement could affect groundwater hydrology through downstream percolation. Adverse air quality impacts would result from criteria pollutants and dust. Storms could still flood communities above and below the Santa Fe Basin. Spills of hydrocarbons could contaminate the waterway in and below San Gabriel. Reservoir water temperatures and turbidity would increase. Between 13,000 and 50,000 acre-feet of groundwater recharge could be lost, although none would be lost under the preferred alternative. Sediment would degrade habitat of pond turtle and two-striped garter snake. Trout and other native fisheries would be adversely affected. The excavation and construction activities would exceed Azusa noise regulations. Visual qualities would deteriorate. The pipeline and conveyor construction could adversely affect historic masonry tunnel, Old Trails road, railroad bed, historic dump, and other unknown sites.

AN - 36411745; 6310 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for restoring the resources and services damaged as a result of oil and other hazardous substances into Commencement Bay, a deep-water embayment occupying 5,700 acres in south Puget Sound in Washington, is proposed. The bay is surrounded on three sides by the industrial, commercial, and residential sections of the city of Tacoma, the city of Fife, and the town of Ruston. The area was added to the National Priorities List after a remedial investigation and feasibility study found that fish and sediments in the waterways had elevated concentrations of hazardous substances. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the programmatic draft EIS of June 1996. The preferred alternative would integrate elements from the other alternatives considered. It would emphasize the restoration of habitat that provides functional benefits (e.g. feeding, refuge, reproduction) to multiple natural resources. Species-specific restoration would be considered in situations where the species were considered an ecological keystone or economically or socially valuable, where the species could recover following remediation provided additional steps were taken, or where the species could not recover following habitat restoration. Such actions could include creating spawning habitat for selected fish, modifying the substrate in the bay to make it more conducive to shellfish, and erecting nest boxes or perches. In those cases where habitat restoration were not possible, equivalent property would be purchased for preservation. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide long-term guidance for an area damaged by pollution and would restore sustainable habitat types and species within the ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An indirect effect of the preferred alternative could be the loss of important habitat for a particular species or group of species in favor of a habitat that interacts with or supports another critical habitat for a population.

Preparation date: March 11, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MORRISON CREEK MINING REACH DOWNSTREAM (SOUTH) OF JACKSON HIGHWAY, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36405464; 6311 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of four sand and gravel mining and reclamation plans in the upper Morrison Creek watershed, a federally approved floodplain, near the community of Vineyard, California, is proposed. The 966.3-acre project area is located in the reach between Jackson Highway to the north and Hedge Road to the west. Morrison Creek flows from the low foothills of eastern Sacramento County to the Sacramento River Delta at Snodgress Slough. Downstream of the project site, Morrison Creek flows westerly through the city of Sacramento before entering the Beach-Stone Lakes area at the Sacramento River. These areas are subject to flood damages as demonstrated by the January 1995 floods. Flood problems are related to limited channel capacity and the volume concerns at Beach-Stone Lakes. The project site consists of four adjoining properties designated as Aspen III South, Vineyard I, Aspen IV South, and Aspen V South. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, two mining companies (Teichart Aggregates and Granite Construction Company) would remove aggregate from a site 50 to 75 acres in size, and reclaim that area by placing the overburden from the next area to be mined. The mining method would involve the removal of 5 to 10 feet of clay/soil overburden overlying the sand and gravel deposit. These deposits, which range in thickness from 20 to 35 feet, would be mined with excavation equipment and transported to existing or proposed aggregate processing plants via conveyor belts. The removed overburden would be placed on the harvested area behind the operation. Project operations would result in the mining of 36.7 million tons of sand and gravel, and the removal of 430,000 cubic yards of overburden. Also under consideration is the Floodplain Protection Alternative, which would restrict mining operations to 310 acres outside the Morrison Creek 100-year floodplain. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an affordable source of high quality sand and gravel for the construction of roads, canals, dams, homes, and commercial structures; a local source of mineral aggregate is considered essential to keeping it affordable because its cost is largely determined by transportation costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would require the removal of all on-site vegetation, gross reconstruction of the floodplain, altered flows downstream, hydrologic and landform changes to the existing floodplain, and the loss of open space and aesthetic values associated with the streambed.

AN - 36405377; 6306 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of port facilities so that those facilities could serve as a homeport for a NIMITZ-class aircraft carrier at Naval Station Mayport, located in northeast Florida, is proposed. The NIMITZ-class carrier is part of the Navy's new modern fleet of deep-draft ships powered by nuclear energy. This action is in response to a 1993 directive to develop a second East Coast homeport for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (in addition to Norfolk, Virginia). Mayport's ship berthing facilities are provided at 15 wharves located around the perimeter of the turning basin. The turning basin is approximately 2,000 feet by 3,000 feet in size and is connected to the Saint Johns River by a 500-foot wide entrance channel. Currently Mayport is homeport for 23 ships (including two conventional carriers) and will be assigned additional ships in the future. Because of the larger dimensions of the NIMITZ-class carrier, deepening of the berthing area, turning basin, and main navigation channel would be required. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Dredged material would be disposed offshore. To provide for clearance at all times, the berth and turning basin would have to be dredged to a depth of -50 mean lower low water (mlww) plus two feet over depth dredging. The entrance channel to Jacksonville Harbor, the St. Johns Bar Cut Range, and the Mayport turning basin and entrance channel would require dredging. Wharf C-2 and Wharf F are under consideration for berthing the carrier. Wharf C-2 has berthed conventional carriers previously, but Wharf F was constructed for industrial and maintenance facilities. Facilities would be constructed to support depot-level repair and maintenance of carrier propulsion plant systems and components. The preferred disposal site for dredged material is the Jacksonville offshore site. The estimated construction costs are $141.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region. Construction operations would employ 850 persons, and the maintenance facilities would employ 1,000 persons. The naval station would complement the carrier homeporting capabilities provided by Norfolk. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction would disturb up to 20 acres of soil, some of which has previously been disturbed. The feeding areas of some birds would be temporarily disturbed. Dredging would adversely affect aquatic species, causing some to relocate temporarily. Wastewater from the carrier and maintenance facilities would be discharged to existing shore facilities. Up to 150,000 pounds per year of hazardous waste would be generated from carrier activities in port.

Most of the information available on fate and transport of explosives is for the subsurface environment. The information available for the subsurface shows that transformation and sorption are two of the most important environmental processes affecting the fate and transport of TNT. For RDX and other explosives, additional processes such as mineralization to CO2 may also be important while processes such as sorption may be less important. Redox potential strongly affects the rate and products resulting from explosives transformation. Sorption can be affected significantly by cation substitution on clay minerals, and competitive sorption can affect the mobility of explosives and their degradation products. Recent findings show that considerable work remains to be conducted, even in the subsurface. At present, we possess a good qualitative understanding of the processes that are operative in soils and aquifer materials and an inferential understanding of the processes that may be occurring in other environments. Translating this qualitative understanding and speculation into quantitative mathematical process descriptors is impeded by the nature of the information available and will require additional process level research.

TRUMAN PARKWAY, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA. AN - 36409164; 6293 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 6.4-mile-long, four-lane, limited-access parkway on the east side of Savannah, Georgia, is proposed. The roadway would extend from the Abercorn Street Extension (SR 204) north to Derenne Avenue and complete the final phase of the Harry S. Truman Parkway. Phase I of the project, from Derenne Avenue to Wheaton Street, was completed in 1993; construction of Phase II, from Wheaton Street to President Street, began in 1994. Completion of the parkway would enable traffic to bypass the congested southern areas of Savannah and would also remove through traffic from parallel roadways that are currently operating near capacity. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives would require the construction of a bridge over the salt marsh adjacent to the Vernon River. Two methods of bridge construction are under consideration: mat and barge (Method A), which would involve the placement of temporary mats directly on the marsh; and end-on/short span (Method B), which would involve the driving of piling ahead of the previous span. The applicant's preferred alternative is Alternative 1 with Bridge Construction Method A, which would be the lowest-cost and least controversial proposal. The total estimated cost of the project is $78.1 million to $97.8 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on area roads, reduce travel time and improve vehicle efficiency for commuters and local residents, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Wetland impacts would range from 15 to 19.3 acres under the various build alternatives. Each of the build alternatives would adversely affect a portion of the Bacon Park Golf Course and Archery Range. The preferred alternative would disturb 16.4 acres of wetlands and 91.8 acres of forest, require the relocation of 71 residences and four businesses, and create excessive noise levels at 122 receptors.

AN - 36409205; 6289 AB - PURPOSE: The development of water supplies for the Uintah Unit of the Central Utah Project, located in northeastern Utah, is proposed. The Uintah Unit is located in Duchesne and Uintah counties and includes portions Uintah and Ouray Reservation. Tribal and non-tribal farmers in the Uintah Unit depend on irrigation and need to distribute runoff from the Uinta Mountains on a schedule that better matches their crop production schedules. Because the Uinta Range has an east-west orientation, its extensive south-facing slopes are subject to rapid snowmelt during spring thaw. Fluctuating stream flows also have an adverse effect on fishery resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The project would include water storage reservoirs, improved diversion and distribution of water, water conservation, stabilization of high mountain lakes, instream flows, fish and wildlife mitigation and enhancements, recreation developments, and land retirement. The Lower Uintah Dam and Reservoir would be constructed on the Uinta River. The reservoir would have a storage capacity of 38,385 acre-feet (af) be located on Ute Tribal lands. During an average water year, reservoir water levels would fluctuate 62 feet, remaining well above the conservation pool elevation. Seven existing diversion structures would be replaced with new diversion dams, one diversion structure would be modified, and one new diversion structure would be built. The Uintah Independent and Bench canals would be rehabilitated by modifying canal size and shape and lining the canals. A 2.2-mile pipeline would convey water from the Uinta River's West Channel back to the East Channel to permit rediversion to the Ouray Park system for irrigation use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The social and economic conditions in the area are underscored by a century-long dependence on agriculture, which is severely limited by inadequate water supplies; the project would substantially reduce water shortages. For Indian water rights, annual irrigation water supplies would increase from 69,682 af under existing conditions to 82,002 af after the reservoir is constructed. The project would increase the total earnings of Ute Tribal members by $7.2 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect a 2.6-mile-long, free-flowing section of the Uinta River and 451 acres of wetlands. Approximately 319 acres of critical mule deer habitat would be lost. In addition, the conversion of idle Ute Tribal lands would result in the loss of preferred sage grouse habitat.

Preparation date: February 21, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER GUADALUPE RIVER FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, SAN JOSE, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36402150; 6290 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the upper Guadalupe River within the city of San Jose, California, is proposed. The river has a long history of flooding, and recent floods in 1982, 1983, 1986, and 1995 caused extensive property damage. During some of the most of the severe floods, the river inundated as much as 5,200 acres. The estimated average long-term cost of flood damage is $20.6 million. A 100-year flood would result in damages of $280.0 million, inundating 7,200 residential units, six public schools, 340 acres of commercial and industrial properties, and 114 acres of agricultural lands. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The project would modify the river channel along eight reaches of the river in order to provide 100-year flood protection to the downtown area. Channel modifications would be made on the river between State Route 101 and Blossom Hill Road; on Ross Creek from the river to 700 feet upstream of Jarvis Avenue; and on Canoas Creek from the river to the end of Nightingale Drive. Levees and floodwalls would be built at selected locations. The project would provide access roads needed to perform regular maintenance such as weed control, erosion repair, and debris removal. The project would also involve the removal of instream structures that currently limit fish migration. Project construction would commence in 1998 and would occur in phases over 25 years at an estimated cost $114.0 million. Under the other action alternative (the Minimize Vegetation Impacts Alternative), the adverse impacts to the riparian corridor would be minimized by the construction of an open-earth bypass channel along five of the river reaches. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the implementation would lessen flood damages for vulnerable areas near the river and reduce annual flood damages significantly. The project would result in long-term beneficial impacts to biotic resources by removing instream structures that currently limit fish migration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In order to convert populated areas to open space, the project would require the removal of two city blocks and the relocation of 117 residences and 20 businesses. Construction-related erosion and sedimentation would adversely affect water quality. Approximately 30 acres of riparian habitat on the mainstem of the river would be lost.

AN - 36414038; 6286 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an underground gold mine in the Chatham Area of the Tongass National Forest, located in southeast Alaska, is proposed. The project area is found in the north end of the Juneau Gold Belt. The mine site would be located on the west side of the Kakuhan Range adjacent to Lynn Canal, approximately 45 air miles north of Juneau and 35 air miles south of Haines, Alaska. The proposed action would consist of an underground gold mine, an ore processing facility, a tailings impoundment, an office and maintenance complex, an employee camp, heliports, a marine terminal, an explosives magazine, and miscellaneous support areas. The project, to be known as the Kensington Project, was originally a joint venture between Coeur Alaska, Inc., (a subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation) and Echo Bay Exploration, Inc., (a subsidiary of Echo Bay Mines Limited). In the summer of 1995, Coeur Alaska assumed a 100-percent interest in the project and in the following year presented a revised plan that is the subject of this draft supplement to the final EIS of February 1992. The purpose of the revision was to reduce the potential impacts from a mixing zone in marine waters, increase the assurance of meeting water quality standards, improve the operational efficiency of the mine, and minimize the potential impacts to Ophir, Ivanhoe, and Sherman creeks. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft supplement. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the significant modifications would include offsite processing of flotation concentrate and the piping of tailings from the process area to the dry tailings facility. Flotation concentrate would be placed in sealed containers and transported offsite for final processing. An engineered structural berm would be built around all cells of the DTF to enhance geotechnical stability. Mine drainage would be filtered and combined with process area runoff in a sediment pond that would discharge into upper Sherman Creek. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mining activities would employ 340 persons during full production, and the mine would generally enhance economic indicators locally. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and associated activities would disturb up to 270 acres of vegetation, including up to 260 acres of wetland vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. Construction activities would temporarily increase sediment levels in local streams. The preferred alternative would divert 2.3 miles of streams. Water withdrawals from the streams would significantly reduce flows, and flow reductions would degrade fishery quality for anadromous fish. The mine site could be affected by seismic activity and seiche landslides. Site activities, helicopter flights, and activities at the Berners Bay terminal would generate significant noise levels.

The premise is that understanding the fundamentals of the system in the engineering sense will assist to provide a technical foundation for standard bench-scale composting protocols. Process kinetics as they relate to organic substrate use, overall, and the kinetics of explosive compound degradation/transformation are discussed. Also discussed are the physical, chemical, biological, and thermodynamic factors central to the application of bench-scale compost systems.

These values are necessary for mobile boundary hydraulic modeling and other sedimentation studies. These quantities are needed for designing flood control channels, estimating sediment deposition in reservoirs or navigation channels, and evaluating the sedimentation impacts of proposed projects or land use modifications. Considerable information is available for the estimation of sediment yield from a watershed. These methods use both empirical techniques and land surface erosion theory. The same is true for quantifying sediment transport and sorting processes in rivers. This paper focuses on procedures for using land surface erosion computations to develop the inflowing sediment load for a river sedimentation model, specifically, HEC-6. The limitations of currently available methods and their ranges of applicability are presented and procedures for evaluating computed results for watershed erosion and sediment transport modeling are described. Included herein are the results of an assessment of numerical models for the predication of land surface erosion. It was concluded from this assessment that these models have not yet evolved from the experimental/developmental phase to routine engineering use. Therefore, this paper presents a suggested strategy for the use of several traditional methods of computation of land surface erosion to prepare inflowing sediment loads for the operation of HEC-6.

AN - 36387560; 6254 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a five-lane connector highway linking I-65 to the Mobile Municipal Airport and ultimately to I-10, located in southwest Alabama, is proposed. The project area, which is located northwest of the city of Mobile and includes the western part of the city of Prichard, extends the intersection of Schillinger Road and Lott Road (AL 217) to the intersection of existing Industrial Parkway (SR 158) and US 45, a distance of 5.3 miles. The highway would be constructed on new alignment and provide two through lanes of traffic in each direction and a center lane to be used as a two-way left-turn lane. The facility would carry as many as 28,000 vehicles per day by the year 2015 and serve as a portion of the western bypass of the city of Mobile. Issues identified in the scoping process include the presence in the project corridor of the Gopher Tortoise, a federally protected species, and a historic property known as the Outlaw Property. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative I, the facility would be located in the northern limit of the project area and be the longest route of the proposed alignments. Under Alternative II, the facility would run along the midsection of the corridor and be the second longest. Under Alternative III, the facility would be located in the southern limit of the corridor and be the shortest route linking Lott Road and US 45. Alternative II-A, which was developed in order to avoid Gopher Tortoise habitat, would run parallel to Seabury Creek and then cross the creek just east of the Alternative II crossing. Estimated construction costs range from $18.5 million to $21.1 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce network travel time, relieve congestion on existing highways, improve levels of service, and provide an acceptable design speed throughout the network to maximize traveler benefit. The project would also increase opportunities for economic development in western Mobile County and improve access to the airport. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the build alternatives would displace up to 45 residences, two businesses, and 21 acres of wetlands. All of the build alternatives would adversely affect the Outlaw Property.

AN - 36412497; 6251 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 13-mile section of the Wilmington Bypass from US 17 in Brunswick County to US 421, located in the southeastern part of North Carolina, is proposed. Currently, through traffic on US 17 and I-40 must pass through the central business district of Wilmington. If the proposed bypass were not constructed, existing roads and bridges would continue to operate at undesirable levels of service. At the present time, traffic along US 17/74/76 is routed across the Cape Fear River lift-span bridge near downtown Wilmington. When the bridge is in the upright position, traffic is stopped in both directions, adding to congestion and delays. The project would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided, controlled-access freeway to the northwest of Wilmington. The construction of an adjoining 7.8-mile section of the bypass is being considered in a separate EIS. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the build alternatives would provide an additional crossing of the Cape Fear River, alleviating some of the traffic crossing the existing lift-span bridge. The bridge construction would require that several piers be constructed in the wetlands surrounding the river and also require that the main span piers be constructed on waterline footings within the river. The construction costs for the project are $118.5 million to $123.4 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve access around the city of Wilmington; it also would have local importance as a means of relieving traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington by separating local traffic from through traffic. The project would likely benefit the regional economy by facilitating access to major industries and trade centers. It would also benefit the Marine Corps by expediting the movement of military equipment into and out of Camp Lejeune. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 46 residences and 10 businesses and adversely impact one cemetery. Each of the alignments would cross seven major electric transmission lines, three water lines, two or three gas lines, and six streams. Water quality in surrounding streams would be temporarily degraded due to construction-related soil erosion. Chemicals and hazardous materials accidentally spilled during transport could also degrade water quality. Construction would adversely affect up to 25 acres of prime and unique farmland and one archaeological site.

AN - 36404193; 6238 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of water storage facilities in order to meet emergency supply needs in San Diego County, California, is proposed. Studies have indicated the high probability of a major earthquake in the San Diego area in the next 100 years. Such an earthquake would rupture pipelines serving the metropolitan area and disrupt the water supply for many weeks. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Each of the action alternatives would involve increasing surface storage capacity and constructing new pipelines and 4 to 7 new pump stations. The San Vicente Stand Alone Alternative would involve raising the San Vicente Dam by 83 feet and expanding the reservoir to 90,100 acre-feet. The San Vicente with Re-operation Alternative would involve raising the San Vicente Dam by 65 feet and expanding the reservoir to 68,000 acre-feet. The preferred alternative (the Olivenheim/Hodges/San Vicente Alternative) would involve raising the San Vicente Dam by 54 feet, constructing a new Olivenhain Dam 320 feet high, re-operating Lake Hodges, and expanding reservoir capacity by 52,100 acre-feet. The Moosa/Hodges Alternative would involve constructing a New Moosa Dam 340 feet high, re-operating Lake Hodges, and expanding reservoir capacity by 68,000 acre-feet. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The text of the draft EIS has been reprinted within Volume I. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a municipal water supply that would meet the needs of the county following a major earthquake, ensuring a continued supply for human consumption, fire fighting, sanitation, electric power generation, communication, and commerce. The project would provide a level of service equal to 75 percent of demand for a two-month period. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The creation of additional surface storage capacity would require the inundation of a substantial land area, which would destroy vegetation and associated terrestrial habitat. The preferred alternative would displace one residence, 17 acres of farmland, and 34 acres of wetlands; numerous cultural resources would be disturbed, including 12 prehistoric sites, one historic site, and five Native American sites. Local residents would experience an increase in water rates under each of the action alternatives.

AN - 36400959; 6250 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of National Guard training programs and facilities at the Camp Roberts Army National Guard Training Site in south-central California is proposed. The facility extends across the Monterey /San Luis Obispo county boundary, approximately 26 miles from the Pacific Coast. Training facilities include 23 training areas ranging in size from 300 to 10,000 acres, an 8,130-acre designated impact area, a tactical airstrip, 24 designated artillery firing points and eight survey control points dispersed throughout the training area, two safety-surveyed parachute drop zones, two helipads, and other miscellaneous training facilities. Currently Camp Roberts hosts three two-week annual training sessions per year. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the type of training conducted at Camp Roberts would not change from existing operations (e.g. maneuver, live weapons firing, aviation operations), but the total number of soldiers training at the camp during a peak period (normally 15 consecutive days) would increase. The intensity of use would increase from a typical maximum of 5,300 soldiers to 10,600 soldiers during the annual training period. Supporting equipment would include 960 wheeled vehicles, 490 tracked vehicles, 30 helicopters, and six fixed-wing aircraft. Four new types of equipment would be introduced at the camp: M1 Abrams tanks would replace the existing M60 series tanks; Bradley fighting vehicles would replace the M113 series armored personnel carriers; multiple-launch rocket systems would replace most of the eight-inch howitzers; and Apache helicopters would replace Cobra helicopters. Five ranges would be modernized: the hand-grenade range, the M16 rifle range, the multipurpose machine gun range, the combat pistol range, and the MK-19 (40-mm machine gun) range. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve the overall efficiency of the training by holding one large training session and two smaller ones. It would also provide National Guard troops with modern ranges and up-to-date equipment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expanded training and new equipment utilization would result in short-term increases in emissions of particulates and other pollutants. Range modernization would result in the increased displacement and mortality of San Joaquin kit fox, adult vernal pool fairy shrimp and their eggs, and western spadefoot toads, and also disturb other wildlife. Construction activities would expose workers to unexploded ordnance.

Preparation date: January 17, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOUNT HOOD MEADOWS SKI AREA, MOUNT HOOD NATIONAL FOREST, HOOD RIVER COUNTY, OREGON (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1990). AN - 36400897; 6245 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new master plan for the Mount Hood Meadows Ski Area in the Mount Hood National Forest, located on the southeast side of Mount Hood in northern Oregon, is proposed. The Mount Hood Ski Area occupies 3,136 acres of scattered subalpine meadows, forested slopes, and above-timberline slopes. The site lies 70 miles east of Portland via US 26. The area extends from elevation 4,000 feet at the east boundary near State Highway 35 to elevation 8,100 feet at the west boundary. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of December 1990. In November 1991, the regional forester directed that additional cultural resource analysis be conducted. Five revised alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative S1), are considered in this final supplement. The Forest Service's preferred alternative (Alternative S4) would provide for use of the ski area by 13,900 persons at one time. Facilities would include 13 lifts, three bases covering a total of 39 acres, a mountain restaurant, a maintenance area, an access road, three service roads, picnic areas, and 30.5 acres of parking to provide for 4,600 vehicles. The permit for facility development and use would expand the Hood River Meadows permit area to 3,554 acres, including a 96-acre expansion at the Hood River Meadows to accommodate nordic skiing. Base facilities would include a six-acre expansion of the Main Lodge, a one-acre expansion at Hood River Meadows, and an 6.5-acre expansion at Westside. A moderate increase in summer uses would be accommodated around the Main Lodge and Westside base areas and at mid-mountain with limited uplifting, picnic areas, and restaurant operations. Summer uses would include hiking, horseback riding, tennis, swimming, and organized mountain biking. Four alternatives for widening and upgrading Oregon Highway 35 and Forest Road 3555 are also under consideration in this final supplement. This final supplement, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft supplement as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft supplement has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Master plan implementation would prevent deterioration of the present quality of recreational opportunities due to overcrowding, provide high-quality downhill skiing and terrain balance for all levels of skiing proficiency, increase midweek and year-round use of the area so as to optimize operating economics, provide for sound land use and mountain resort design principles, maximize implementation of technological innovation, mitigate weekend traffic congestion problems on Highways 26 and 35, and maintain a reasonable and affordable recreational pricing structure for a broad base of the populace. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation would raise the risk of fire and traffic congestion. Alpine and critical soils would be particularly affected by construction activities. Summer use would result in soil compaction. Soil disturbances and increased impervious surface areas would increase runoff significantly in the long term. Facility development would displace wetland and riparian habitat, degrade groundwater quality somewhat, and result in the permanent loss of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. Some facilities would be visible from Gnarl Ridge and the Mount Hood Wilderness, and these and other areas would be affected by increased visitation. Noise levels within the permit area would increase, and the commercial forestland base would decline. Additional ski lift crossings and the expansion of summer uses would adversely affect the cultural setting of the Timberline Trail. Other recreational activities would be displaced by alpine skiing. The demand for affordable employee housing and other human resources would rise in the area, while the availability of these resources would decline.

AN - 36413825; 6243 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 50-year plan for meeting the water supply needs of the lower Virginia peninsula is proposed. The project area includes the cities of Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg, and the counties of James City and York. The region is bounded by the James River on the south, the York River on the north, the Chesapeake Bay on the east, and Charles City and New Kent counties on the west. Based on population growth projections, the region will probably experience a water supply deficit as early as 1998. The reservoirs presently operated by Newport News Waterworks, the major supplier in the region, have yielded low-quality water whenever markedly drawn down; furthermore, additional drawdowns of groundwater could result in salt water intrusion in depleted aquifers. Focal issues include the effects on wetlands, endangered and threatened species, water quality and hydrology, and cultural resources. Some 31 alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft supplemental EIS of December 1995. Three of these alternatives are proposed as the preferred long-term components of an overall plan to increase regional treated water delivery by 39.8 million gallons per day (mgd) through the year 2040. The three components would involve establishing use restrictions beyond normal conservation measures in order to produce short-term reductions in water demand during water supply emergencies, resulting in the conservation of 1.5 mgd; developing well fields in western James City County and eastern New Kent County in order to provide an additional capacity when local reservoir storage is below capacity, or developing groundwater desalination in the Newport News Waterworks Distribution Area; and constructing a new 78-foot-high earthen dam across Cohoke Creek in King William County, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 12.2 billion gallons. Approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material would be excavated from vegetated wetlands in order to remove unsuitable organic soils for preparation of the dam footprint. The reservoir would drain 8.92 square miles and cover 1,526 acres at 96-foot pool elevation; it would be supplemented with water pumped from a new 75-mgd pump station on the Mattaponi River in King William County. In addition, water from the new reservoir would be pumped to two existing reservoirs to supplement their supplies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the region's water supply and quality problems would be addressed; short-term conservation and emergency supply needs would be met during the building of the new dam and reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the reservoir would result in the loss of 437 acres of non-tidal, palustrine, emergent, and scrub-shrub wetlands. An additional 105 acres of vegetated wetlands between the proposed dam location and the upper reaches of Cohoke Millpond would be indirectly affected by reduced flows.

AN - 36400929; 6248 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a segment of Route 84 between I-880 (Nimitz Freeway) and Mission Boulevard in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Plain in California is proposed. Route 84 is an east-west roadway in the Bay Area that runs from Route 1 at San Gregorio on the Pacific coast to Route 4 in Contra Costa County. In the East Bay, Route 84 is a critical link in the highway network, facilitating transbay travel via the Dumbarton Bridge to the East Bay highway network of I-880 and Mission Boulevard. The project area is located roughly five miles east of the southeastern shoreline of San Francisco Bay. Transportation improvements are needed in order to respond to projected growth in traffic demand, which is expected to degrade the overall roadway network level of service to a rating of E or F by the year 2015. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Upgrade Alternative would widen Thornton Avenue to six lanes between Blacow Road and just west of Fremont Boulevard, and provide a four-lane facility eastward to Mission Boulevard along Peralta Boulevard and Mowry Avenue. The Historic Parkway Alternative would consist of a four- and six-lane median-divided parkway between the existing I-880/Decoto Road interchange on the west and the intersection of Mission Boulevard/Appian Way on the east. This alternative would also involve building bridges across the Alameda County Flood Control Channel and at two locations along Old Alameda Creek. The Decoto Parkway/Widening Alternative would reconstruct Decoto Road into a six-lane, median-divided parkway between I-880 and Mission Boulevard. The Industrial Expressway Alternative would upgrade the existing Industrial Parkway West to a six-lane, limited-access, median-divided arterial between the I-880 /Industrial Parkway interchange and Mission Boulevard. A transportation system management (TSM) alternative is also under consideration. The estimated project costs range from $30.0 million for the TSM alternative to $101.0 million for the Historic Parkway Alternative with a new interchange at Fremont Boulevard. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve congestion on I-880 by creating an alternative travel route within southern Alameda County, improve access to and from the Dumbarton Bridge, improve regional access, improve traffic safety, and eliminate roadway deficiencies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of riparian habitat and the displacement of up to 55 households and 35 nonresidential properties. Construction activities could disturb some species of concern (burrowing owl and bank swallows). Each of the build alternatives would result in the displacement of some pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and increase noise levels in neighborhood parks.

AN - 36399126; 6241 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 42.5-mile section of Interstate 5 (I-5) from the Toutle Park Road Interchange (Exit 52) in northern Cowlitz County, through Lewis County, to the Maytown Interchange (Exit 95) in the southern part of Thurston County, located in southwestern Washington, is proposed. Portions of the corridor pass through the cities of Chehalis and Centralia. I-5 is the major north-south transportation corridor for intercity travel in western Washington. Roughly half of the project corridor is jointly designated with SR 12, a major east-west route through southern Washington, and the additional traffic from SR 12 adds to the capacity problems along the corridor. A mainline capacity analysis indicated that the project corridor would be operating at Level of Service F by the year 2020. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, which would involve short-term maintenance activities, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would widen the existing four-lane segments of I-5 to a six-lane divided highway and would make design modifications and improvements at three interchanges (SR 12 East, Cowlitz River, and SR 12 West). Widening the highway would require the replacement or widening of 11 bridges within the project area. At several locations the roadway would be realigned to improve visibility at horizontal curves and improve sight distance over hills. A section of highway in Centralia would be raised six feet to meet flood clearance standards. Drainage improvements would be made at various locations including stormwater detention and water treatment facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would increase the service level of I-5, enhance safety, reduce congestion, and accommodate projected population and traffic increases. Access to parks and recreational facilities would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would cross nine miles of floodplain. The widened highway could impede the flows of crossing streams and contribute to flooding risk. Up to 128 acres of wetlands would be filled, and 118 acres of prime farmland converted to highway use. Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 27 residential units and six businesses.

Preparation date: January 15, 1997 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF US 220 TO A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED FACILITY ON NEW LOCATION THAT EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY 15.3 MILES FROM EMERY TO SOUTH OF ELLERBE (FEDERAL AID PROJECT F-45-1(42)), MONTGOMERY AND RICHMOND COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36409156; 6237 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a US 220 bypass from approximately 16 miles from Emery to south of Ellerbe, located in southern North Carolina, is proposed. US 220 is located approximately 60 miles east of and generally parallel to Interstate 77 (I-77) and provides connections to I-40/I-85, US 64, and US 74, which are all east-west routes through the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina. The highway would be a four-lane divided roadway, with full control of access within a minimum 350-foot right-of-way. Extra right-of-way width would be necessary in areas where deep cuts or fill are required, as well as in interchange zones. The design speed would be 70 miles per hour. The highway would bypass the towns of Ellerbe and Norman. Four build alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of July 1991. The eastern alignment is the preferred alternative based on better traffic service to Ellerbe and Norman, less severe impacts on bottomlands and upland hardwood and pine-hardwood forests, less severe impacts on wetlands, and lower costs. A 1.5-mile section of the southern section of the eastern alignment was modified in order to minimize residential impacts. Seven interchanges would control access to the facility. The estimated cost of the project is $72.6 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway construction would improve a major traffic route connecting the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point urban areas with the coastal areas of North Carolina and South Carolina. The facility would directly serves a corridor that extends from Roanoke, Virginia and traverses North Carolina to its border with South Carolina. It would provides a vital transportation link between the communities in and along the corridor, as well as access to other routes serving the entire southeastern seaboard. Through traffic would be removed from local roads within Ellerbe and Norman. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, 776 acres of right-of-way would be developed, resulting in the dislocation of 29 residences and five businesses. Other land use displacements would adversely affect 202 acres of managed timberland, 155 acres of other forested land, 395 acres of farmlands, 23 acres of currently disturbed lands, and up to five acres of open water. Approximately 31 drainageways would be crossed, adversely affecting 24.7 acres of wetlands. Noise standards would be violated at 33 residences. The bypass would decrease business related to through traffic on existing US 220 through Norman and Ellerbe.

AN - 36411627; 6235 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 10-mile section of Route 17 in Chesapeake, Virginia, is proposed. Route 17 is a two-lane highway classified as a Primary Urban Principal Arterial that extends from Route 104 and Dominion Boulevard to the North Carolina state line. In addition to serving local traffic needs, the highway links Hampton Roads with markets to the north and south. By the year 2015, traffic levels are expected to increase more than 50 percent over existing levels. In order to accommodate this increase in traffic volume, substandard highway design and safety features must be corrected. Current deficiencies include substandard pavement and shoulder widths, vertical and horizontal pavement deviations, substandard right-of-way clear zones, and roadway shading. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the build alternatives would involve upgrading Route 17 to a four-lane divided highway with non-controlled access. Alternative A would involve widening and upgrading Route 17 along the existing alignment. Alternative A-1 and Alternative A-2 would also widen and upgrade Route 17, but would construct roughly 25 percent of the highway on new alignment. Alternative B-1 and Alternative B-2 would widen and upgrade a short segment of Route 17 and a long segment of West Road. They would also construct the intervening section on new alignment. The dimension of the project area would be 9.7 miles to 12.5 miles. The estimated total costs for the build alternatives are $18.9 million to $39.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would benefit through travel in the region, relieve traffic congestion, and improve safety and efficiency. The upgrading would also facilitate emergency hurricane evacuation from the Outer Banks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 33 households, 1 business, 41.2 hectares of wetlands, and seven archaeological sites. Each of the build alternatives would adversely affect various structures and properties within the Dismal Swamp Canal Historic District, and might adversely affect the Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew, a federally listed threatened species. Noise levels would increase significantly at 97 locations.

The procedures are based on a pseudo-static limit equilibrium analysis, which considers horizontal acceleration and incorporates a permanent displacement limit. Internal and external stability analyses are conducted to determine the required strength and length of geosynthetic, considering different modes of failure. Parametric studies illustrate the effects of seismic acceleration on the design of reinforced soil structures having different slope angles and soil properties. For vertical slopes at small seismic acceleration, tieback/compound failure dictates the required geosynthetic length. The length required to resist direct sliding increases rapidly as the seismic acceleration increases. This length may become impractical at moderate design accelerations. For such cases, an alternative approach based on a tolerable displacement against direct sliding is proposed for design. The proposed procedures are compared with the performance of several geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures during recent major earthquakes. A detailed design example is included to illustrate usage of proposed procedures.

Preliminary analyses of these data provide a sedimentologic framework for addressing a wide range of science and management issues. Principal features identified include: 1) a series of sharply defined, rippled scour depressions in the nearshore areas of Long Island and New Jersey that are thought to be an erosional pattern indicative of storm-induced cross-shelf sediment-transport processes from the shoreface; 2) outcropping Upper Cretaceous to early Tertiary coastal plain strata and associated gravelly lag deposits; 3) morphologic and chemical indications of anthropogenic waste disposal and redistribution; 4) extensive deposits of medium- to fine-grained sand northeast and east of the Hudson Shelf Valley; 5) acoustic backscatter patterns on the sidescan imagery and sediment bedforms that indicate a general south-southwest sediment transport direction toward the Hudson Shelf Valley; and 6) the Hudson Shelf Valley is a depositional site for silty sediment and acts as a conduit for cross-shelf pollutant transport.

Wind-waves, b. Ship-wakes, c. Ship draw-down, d. Mean water-level. Time series are 2048 seconds long and sampled at 2 hertz. Approximately 34-minute records are taken every 40 minutes. The nearly continuous recording was selected to record waves from as many passing ships as possible, provide data on wind-waves and mean water-level, and allow for deployment of the internal recording gage for nearly 3 weeks.

Therefore alternative stormwater drainage systems are planned whose drainage conditions are very similar to those of an undeveloped area. Most of the expected stormwater discharge can be infiltrated into the soil. This means that the system keeps the water in the hydrological cycle. The alternative systems also leads to economical advantages.

The calculations are performed with a pollutant-load-calculation model including a coupled hydrologic-hydrodynamic runoff-transportation module. The achievement of the developed model is shown in the example of two different subcatchments of the City of Hildesheim. With the help of this concept, it is possible to consider the existing transport, storage and treatment capacity more flexible and to find optimal rehabilitation concepts concerning the emission loads just like the resulting costs.

The tools provided decision makers with information about the costs and benefits of alternatives for environmental restoration and watershed projects and their associated tradeoffs. The analyses required a list of solutions and estimates of their outputs and costs. Cost estimates needed to include both financial implementation and economic opportunity costs. Calculation of incremental cost data is discussed. Examples of accounting for both intended and unintended effects of alternative solutions are given.

The application of turbulence theory to model systems and the modelling of 2-dimensional advection-dispersion processes were examined and special studies were made of the behaviour of jets and plumes. Measurement techniques were applied to a variety of situations, and reports are reviewed under the headings of riverine systems, lacustrine systems, estuarine systems and coastal water systems, and pelagic marine systems. The mixing processes occurring in all these situations were the focus of intensive studies to assess the dispersion of pollutants in the natural environment, including the behaviour of effluent plumes emerging from marine outfalls. Other aspects briefly referred to involved the interactions with biota, the motion of surface films such as oil slicks, gas transfer at the water/air interface, and the transport of suspended sediments under the influence of hydrodynamic variables, including the effect of wind action.

Such ordinances required that the measurable increase in backwater elevation caused by structures in the floodplain should not exceed 0.3 cm for a specified flood. The King County floodplain regulation was compared with similar restrictive regulations in other states and with other zero tolerance regulations. The bridge design and construction costs associated with the restriction since 1990 were reviewed, it was noted how it added to the complexities of bridge design. Differences between the King County regulations and zero-rise requirements elsewhere included: freedom from substantial clearance requirements; pier-in-channel prohibitions; exemptions for replacement in kind; lenient consenting processes for rises where no damage was anticipated; and the ability of approach roads to cause flooding. The zero-rise ordinance increased bridge design and construction costs by 40 per cent.

Initially the organisms were exposed to ammonium chloride in water for 4 d. LC50 values of 44 and 89 mg ammoniacal-nitrogen per litre were obtained for juveniles and subadults, respectively. These values were used to establish a static 10-d test in which the water overlying the sediment was renewed daily. The risk of ammonia toxicity to the organism was characterized by a Monte Carlo simulation using exposure-response curves from the laboratory spiked-sediment studies and published porewater ammonia concentrations for 322 marine sediments. There was a 2-18 per cent probability of significant mortality from ammonia alone in the 10-d test, but the risk was minimal for the 28-d test because of the rapid dissipation of ammonia through renewal of the overlying water.

Harmonic analysis, time-scale analysis and conventional methods of hydrological analysis of gauge data at decade intervals showed a steady decline in the magnitude and predictability of the baseflow during low flow periods (less than 5.7 m3 per second) from the 1920s, becoming increasingly pronounced into the 1980s. Hydroperiod alterations were associated with increased groundwater pumping to support rice agriculture in the basin. These hydroperiod changes may explain changes in the biotic communities or wetlands structure. There are 33 references.

AN - 36405083; 6218 AB - PURPOSE: The operation of an open-pit gold mine by the Homestake Mining Company within the historic Eureka Mining District in central Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located 0.7 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada, in an area known for the production of lead, silver, and gold during the late 1800's. Issues of concern include air quality, geology and minerals, paleontology, water quality and quantity, soils, vegetation resources, woodland products, wildlife and fisheries resourcesspecial status species, land use authorization and access, recreation and wilderness, visual resources, cultural heritage, social and economic values, noise and blasting vibrations, and hazardous materials and wastes. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative is a combination of the proposed action plus the Partial Backfilling Alternative. The proposed action would include mine development and surface disturbance on a total of 696 acres, most of which is public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. During the expected 7.5-year life of the project, a total of 60 million tons of waste rock and 8.0 million tons of ore would be removed from the mine. Most of the waste rock and all of the ore would require drilling and blasting. Several blasts would occur each day. Mine waste would be hauled from the open pit to one of two proposed waste rock dumps and dumped in 50-foot lifts. The Partial Backfilling Alternative would reduce the amount of waste rock placed in the dumps by 3.0 million tons and increase the amount of revegetated surface area by six acres. Other project facilities would include a crushing, grinding, and agglomeration facility; heap leaching facilities; and an office building and parking lot, a warehouses and shop, growth media stockpiles, a soil borrow source, and powerline and water pipeline corridors. These project components would interconnected by haul roads, service roads, and the main access road connecting the facility with US 50. Runoff would be directed around the open pit and the general mine site by diversion ditches constructed upgradient of the general mine site. Also under consideration are the East Waste Rock Dump Alternative and the West Waste Rock Dump Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the employment of an average of 225 workers during the construction period and 121 permanent workers through the life of the operation. The total annual payroll would be $5.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Geochemical testing indicates that arsenic and aluminum could leach from the alluvium and oxidized limestone; extremely low levels of arsenic could reach groundwater. Of the 696 acres disturbed by mining operations, some 88 acres would not be reclaimed following mine closure. Mine operations would result in the loss of habitat for mule deer and the potential loss of habitat for threatened and endangered species: roosting bats, ferruginous hawks, and burrowing owls. The waste rock dump sites would create a visual contrast with the surrounding countryside. The Eureka Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, would be indirectly affected by mining activities. Noise levels would increase slightly for Eureka residents.

AN - 36411344; 6219 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan for the Green Brook sub-basin of the Raritan River basin in central New Jersey is proposed. Green Brook, a tributary of the Raritan River, has experienced frequent and sometimes devastating floods from thunderstorms and tropical storms. The plan recommended in the final EIS would consist of a system of levees and floodwalls in order to provide protection for lower portion of the basin only. Also considered was a more comprehensive basin-wide solution which would provide protection in the remaining upper portion of the Green Brook basin and the Stony Brook portion of the basin, but this plan was not recommended because the additional flood protection was not economically justified. The plan presented in this draft supplement to the final EIS of August 1980 is a revised version of that more comprehensive plan. The revised plan in the lower portion of the basin would involve the construction of approximately 66,540 linear feet of levees, 11,200 feet of floodwalls, 10 bridge replacements, one bridge removal, and eight closure structures in the lower portion of the basin. The flood protection in the upper basin would include two dry detention basins at the Sky Top and Oak Way sites, some 12,400 feet of channel modifications, some 6,865 feet of channel clearing, and one bridge replacement. The flood protection in the Stony Creek portion of the basin would consist of 4,970 feet of channel modifications, and the replacement of the Grove Street Bridge. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $310.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would provide for 150-year level of protection of land uses within the lower Green Brook sub-basin and also provide lesser levels of protection in the upper and Stony Brook portions of the basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, approximately 167 acres of habitat would be adversely affected; the majority of the impacts would occur in forested wetland, upland forest, gravel-bottomed streams, emergent wetland, and mud-bottomed streams. The construction of levees would result in the filling of floodplain areas thereby adversely affecting habitat and the hydrological setting. The channel modification would adversely affect stream habitat. Aquatic species would suffer due to alteration of in-stream habitat and removal of vegetative species which provide shade for the streams. Vegetation and wildlife would be adversely affected by the clearing for construction activities and the development of detention structures, levees, and floodwalls.

Preparation date: December 23, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ARMY'S LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR THE NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER, FORT IRWIN, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN. AN - 36403848; 6217 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition of approximately 310,296 acres of public lands to support the training mission of the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, located in southeast California, is proposed. Fort Irwin consists of approximately 642,000 acres of land near the city of Barstow. The lands to be withdrawn from entry under public lands for use by the NTC are located east of the national training center in the Silurian Valley, Valjean Hills, and Soda Mountains. State Highway 127 bisects the area into east and west sections. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, approximately 331,217 acres of land, yielding approximately 277,244 acres of net maneuverable acres, would be acquired. The lands to the north and northeast would provide a northern access corridor around the Avawatz Mountains. The acquisition would include approximately 310,296 acres, which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management, to be withdrawn from the public domain. Approximately 15,773 acres of state lands and about 5,148 acres of private lands would also be acquired through purchase. An additional approximately 24,500-acre area would also be acquired along the northern border of the NTC and Death Valley National Park; the area would serve as a buffer area between the NTC and the park. Communication equipment would be erected and up to six underpasses would be constructed for military vehicles crossing Highway 127. The other action alternatives would include land acquisitions from approximately 284,885 acres, with approximately 264,776 net maneuverable acres, for the Superior Valley Alternative, to the enlistment of approximately 185,500 acres of land, yielding approximately 170,401 net maneuverable acres for the Avawatz Alternative. The incorporation of lands into military ownership would reduce the amount of property tax revenues received by San Bernardino County by approximately $17,400 annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. The soils on up to 277,244 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Up to 256,325 acres of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, including habitat for a population of desert tortoise. The proposed action could adversely affect up to 2,845 acres of the entire 17,253 acres of Joshua trees woodland that occur in the acquisition area on topography suitable for staging or in an area of potentially high impact; the Joshua tree woodland is an endemic habitat to the Mojave Desert and serves as a habitat for a related association of endemic wildlife species. Approximately 9,707 acres of stabilized or partially stabilized sand fields and sand dunes would be adversely affected; these communities, which are relatively rare and considered to be in decline in California, are considered sensitive areas. Approximately 3,666 acres of desert saltbush scrub would also be adversely affected. Operations would result in the loss of habitat for six sensitive plants. Environmentally sensitive lakebeds, springs, and seeps would be marked off limits during exercises. Five legislatively-designated wilderness study areas would be located within the extended boundaries. Approximately 272,280 acres of wildlife habitat would be lost or heavily disturbed and wildlife movement between resource areas eliminated in the tributaries of the Amargosa River, Sheep Creek Springs, and Salt Creek. At least 453 prehistoric archaeological sites, 201 historic sites, and 13 sites with both prehistoric and historic components would be adversely affected by military activities. It is unknown how many sites would be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The adverse impacts to paleontological sites could not be determined due to the lack of surveys. Under the proposed action, public lands would no longer be available for public use, including recreational activities, except through defined public access policy developed by the NTC. Noise levels within the boundaries would increase due to the presence of military vehicles and aircraft. Military activities in the vicinity of Corridor D would have a potential to damage utility towers and disrupt electrical service to the Los Angeles basin.

Preparation date: December 23, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRIFFON MINING PROJECT, ELY RANGER DISTRICT, HUMBOLDT-TOIYABE NATIONAL FORESTS, WHITE PINE COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36409078; 6210 AB - PURPOSE: The mining of gold by the Alta Gold Company (Alta) at the Griffon Mining Project on National Forest System lands administered by the Ely Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (HTNF), located in eastern Nevada, is proposed. The area is located approximately 28 air-miles southwest of the city of Ely. Alta has identified two deposits (Discovery Ridge and Hammer Ridge) that they anticipate would take approximately two years to mine, crush, and leach. The project would involve open pit mining, crushing and heap leaching of the ore, processing of the leachate to recover gold, and development of associated waste rock dumps, site access roads, a haul road system, ore stockpiles, facility sites, growth medium stockpiles, and drainage and sediment control structures. Issues of concern include the effects on air quality, surface water, ground water, plant and wildlife species and their habitat, reclamation potential, permitted livestock grazing, recreation, wild horses, heritage resources, mine economics, and safety. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative B) would include two pits mined concurrently, three small waste rock dumps with DH:1V slopes adjacent to the pits, and access to the facilities area via US Highway 6 and along Ellison Creek. Process facilities would include crushers, leach pads, and recovery process facility. Potential off-site facilities would include silt and gravel borrow sites, water well and associated pipeline, and access roads. The current reserves and mine plan would include the mining of 2.74 million tons of ore and 1.52 million tons of waste rock for a total of 4.26 million tons mined. The mining rate would be approximately 7,500 tons per day of ore and waste and the ore crushing would be approximately 4,800 tons per day. The proposed action with mitigation (Alternative C) was developed to respond to certain issues raised during scoping. This alternative would consist of the same major project components as the proposed action, but would seek to avoid or minimize adverse effects on surface water, riparian and wetland habitat, cultural resources, wildlife habitat, and livestock forage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, mine operation would play a direct and indirect role in the local economy through wages paid to employees. The workforce requirement of 60 to 65 employees would be met primarily from local and nearby communities. White Pine County would benefits from increased tax revenue from mine development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 161 acres, resulting in both short- and long-term changes to the existing topography in the project area including all facility locations, proposed pits, waste rock dumps, and leach pad. Seven of the nine vegetative communities would be disturbed with pinyon and juniper, black sagebrush, and mixed brush having the majority of the disturbance. There would be some direct and unavoidable disturbance of wetlands. Indirect losses of habitat would occur for various wildlife species as well as potential effects to candidate and sensitive species.

AN - 36401781; 6215 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 30.4-mile segment of Trunk Highway (TH) 14 from the east junction of TH 60 on the west to I-35 on the east, located in southern Minnesota, is proposed. The corridor being approximately two miles west of Smith's Mill, passes through Janesville and Waseca, and terminates within the city limits of Owatonna. TH 14 provides a direct connection between Mankato and Rochester, two major regional centers roughly 80 miles apart. Throughout most of its length TH 14 is a two-lane highway, functionally classified as a principal arterial roadway. The section of TH 14 within the project area suffers from several design deficiencies: 38 percent of the highway is designated as a no-passing zone; 25 locations do not meet current stopping sight distance guidelines; and usable shoulder widths are less than ten feet throughout most of the corridor. The accident rate in the corridor is significantly higher than the statewide average for similar two-lane roadways. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would include upgrading the existing two-lane segment. It would involve reconstruction as a two-lane roadway with some minor realignment, construction of right-turn lanes, and construction of a section of passing lanes. It would also include adding capacity improvements (such as left turn lanes) at key intersections within the built-up areas in Waseca and Janesville and upgrading the existing north I-35 interchange, which includes the realignment of the frontage road in the northwest quadrant. Alternative 3 would involve the upgrading of TH 14 to a four-lane roadway, and bypassing Janesville and Waseca either to the north or south. Three sets of bypass alignment options are under consideration. Alternative 4 would involve constructing a four-lane roadway on a new alignment and bypassing Janesville and Waseca to the south. The estimated construction costs range from $34.0 million to $107.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The roadway design changes would improve traffic safety and efficiency along the corridor and strengthen the regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 34 residences and five businesses. It would adversely affect up to 112 acres of wetlands and 1,324 acres of farmland. Up to 522 residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Some sections of a nine-hole golf course and Crane Creek Park would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: December 20, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 220 IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, BLAIR AND CENTRE COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36404194; 6209 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately 17- to 18-mile segment of US Route 220 (US 220) from the Interstate 90 (I-90) (US 220) Tyrone Expressway in Snyder Township, Blair County, to the US 322 Nittany Expressway in Patton Township, Centre County, located in central Pennsylvania, is proposed. The demands on US 220 have outpaced its original design capacity: it is used for interstate north-south travel and access to important east-west corridors, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and I-80. As part of the statewide truck route system, it provides a necessary interstate commerce link. The roadways under consideration are currently experiencing traffic flows that result in congestion and inadequate levels of service. Collisions, which are due to narrow lanes, high truck volume, limited passing opportunities, and access conflicts, result in accident severity rates and truck involvement rates substantially higher in the study corridor than in the remainder of the state. Commercial, industrial, and residential development plans call for continued growth in the Centre County region, particularly in and around the State College area. Traffic volumes are projected to increase as population and employment in the area increase. The project area encompasses approximately 34 square miles and includes some streams supporting wild trout populations that have been identified as Aquatic Resources of National Importance by the Environmental Protection Agency. The area is rural with large parcels of forested lands and farmlands. Much remains of the area's settlement history, with pockets of multigenerational agrarian development in the hollows. Focal issues addressed include the effects on local and regional traffic and transportation systems, socioeconomics and land use, displacements and relocations, community cohesion, cultural resources, farmlands, soils and geology, surface water and groundwater resources, floodplains, wetlands, vegetation and wildlife, meteorological conditions, air quality, noise, visual quality, waste facilities, energy consumption, and construction activities, and the secondary and cumulative effects from induced development. For analysis purposes, the project area was divided into three sections: section 1 is from Tyrone Expressway (I-99) to the US 220/322 intersection in Port Matilda Borough; section 2 is from the US 220/322 intersection in Port Matilda Borough to the Skytop area on Bald Eagle Ridge; and section 3 is from the Skytop area to the Mount Nittany Expressway (improved US 322). Three sets of alignment alternatives (the Valley Alignment Alternatives, the Western Alignment Alternatives, and the Eastern Alignment Alternatives) were developed in corridors along either side of the existing roadway. Seven alternatives are considered for section 1: Existing Alignment Alternative G1-2, Valley Alignment Alternatives G1-1a and G1-1b, Western Alignment Alternative P1-1, and Eastern Alignment Alternatives R-1, RT-1, and RT-G. Six alternatives are considered for section 2: Existing Alignment Alternative G2-2, Valley Alignment Alternative G2-1, Western Alignment Alternatives P2-1 and P2-2, and Eastern Alignment Alternatives R-2 and RT-2. Three alternatives are considered for section 3: Existing Alignment Alternative G3-1/G3-2 and Western Alignment Alternatives P3-1 and P3-2. The preferred alternative would include a combination of Eastern Alignment Alternative RT-G, Western Alignment Alternative P2-2, and Western Alignment Alternative P3-2. It would involve the construction of a four-lane, limited-access highway in each of the three segments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address both local and regional needs by coordinating the projects in the development of a regional transportation solution. It would also help to alleviate existing roadway deficiencies, reduce congestion, and improve safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 1,075 acres, 14 residences, and two businesses. Some 36 acres of archaeological areas, 17 acres of wetlands, three historically significant sites, one site with threatened or endangered species, 111 acres of probable woodcock habitat, and four communities would be adversely affected. Some 14 stream crossings would occur.

Preparation date: December 19, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DELAWARE RIVER COMPREHENSIVE NAVIGATION STUDY: MAIN CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT; DELAWARE, NEW JERSEY, AND PENNSYLVANIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1992). AN - 36399218; 6208 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of navigation improvements along the Delaware River from the Beckett Street Terminal in Camden, New Jersey, through Philadelphia Harbor, Pennsylvania, to deep water in the Delaware Bay off Delaware, a distance of approximately 102.5 miles, is proposed. Channel widths currently range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 1,000 feet in the bay. Throughout Philadelphia Harbor, the channel is 40 feet deep on the west side and 37 feet deep on the east side. Widening has been provided for at critical bends. There are 19 anchorages on the Delaware River; all but six are natural deep-water anchorages. The project would include 12 training dikes to reduce shoaling in the channel and anchorages and to minimize dredging and disposal costs. The recommended plan of improvement would provide for a two-way, full-width channel of variable widths, with a depth of 45 feet below mean low water and an allowable dredging overdepth of two feet. The channel side slopes would be three horizontal to one vertical. Channel dimensions below the Walt Whitman Bridge are based on a 160,000-dead-weight-ton (160,000-DWT) tanker with a length of 931 feet, a beam of 145 feet, and an operating draft of 45 feet. The design vessel for Philadelphia Harbor and the Beckett Street Terminal access would be a 100,000-DWT dry bulk vessel with a length of 830 feet and beam of 128 feet. The selected channel dimensions would allow for navigation practices similar to existing conditions that would allow full use of the tide range by inbound vessels. The channel width would range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 800 feet from the Philadelphia Navy Yard to Bombay Hook and then to 1,000 feet in Delaware Bay. The plan would include all appropriate bend widening and provide a two-space anchorage of compatible depth at the Marcus Hook anchorage. The project would also include utility relocations at two locations, aids to navigation, and lands, easements, rights- of-way, and disposal areas as necessary for initial construction and maintenance of the project. The project would require the dredging of 33.0 million cubic yards in order to deepen the currently authorized 40-foot channel to 45 feet. Annual maintenance dredging would amount to 1.1 million cubic yards more than what would be dredged to maintain a 40-foot channel. This draft supplement to the final EIS of February 1992 considers dredged material disposal at nine upland sites, and the likely effects on wetlands, wildlife habitat, endangered species, and groundwater; and the beneficial uses of dredged material for wetland restoration in Delaware Bay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion of the navigational channels along the Delaware River would allow use by deep-draft vessels with full cargoes. Harbor safety and efficiency would be enhanced through the easing of the movement of goods into and out of markets along the Eastern Seaboard. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic organisms would be destroyed in dredged areas and in areas affected by dredged-material disposal. The removal of approximately 229,000 cubic yards of rock from the river channel would adversely affect the aquatic environment; the use of explosives would be required for rock removal. Deepening of the channel would promote upstream movement of saline water, and the possibility exists that chemical contaminants within river sediments could enter underlying aquifers. Approximately 396 acres of jurisdictional wetlands would be adversely affected by uplands disposal. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Public Works Appropriations (P.L. 94-355), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

Preparation date: December 19, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILMINGTON BYPASS, I-40 TO US 421, NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1995). AN - 36404226; 6204 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a section of the Wilmington Bypass on a new alignment from US Route 421 (US 421) to approximately 5,800 feet east of Interstate 40 (I-40), located in southeast North Carolina, is proposed. The project area is north of the New Hanover International Airport and the city of Wilmington. The segment would be a segment of the US 17 intrastate corridor, which provides the Marine Corps at Camp LeJeune with the most direct access to the Port of Wilmington and the Sunny Point Military Ocean Terminal. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of January 1995. The roadway would be a four-lane divided freeway on about 7.8 miles of new alignment. Under both of the build alternatives, the facility would provide interchanges at US 421, US 117/NC 133, and I-40. The interchange at I-40 would be at a common point near I-40 mile marker 417, located approximately 0.6 south of the State Route 1336 overpass of I-40. The I-40 interchange location would allow the eastern terminus of the project to meet the western terminus of the adjacent US 17 Connector. The project would bridge the Northeast Cape Fear River. The bridge would provide a 65-foot vertical clearance for vessels traveling the navigable portion of the river. This draft supplement to the draft EIS eliminates the Northern Alternative from further consideration because of its anticipated impacts on wetlands, cultural resources, and forested lands. In its place, this draft supplement considers the Center Alternative that traverses the injection well fields at the former Cape Industries Plant and crosses Lake Sutton at the CP&L Plant west of US 421. The Southern Alternative and Center Alternative would cost $132.6 million and $126.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve access around the city of Wilmington. It also would have local importance as a means of relieving traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington by separating local traffic from through-traffic. The project would likely benefit the regional economy by facilitating access to major industries and trade centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would displace up to 58 residences and 13 businesses. The Southern Alternative would adversely affect community facilities and services, and the Center Alternative could eliminate the present access to Saint James African Methodist Episcopal Church via Chair Road. Both of the build alternatives would cross major electric transmission lines and numerous lower voltage lines. The Southern Alternative would also cross two natural gas lines and could adversely affect two water lines along US 421. Water supply wells within the project's right-of-way (ROW) would need to be removed, and other water supply wells nearby could also be adversely affected by the project. Both of the build alternatives would adversely affect the visual quality of the project area. Under either of the build alternatives, water quality in surrounding streams would be temporarily degraded due to construction-related soil erosion. Chemicals and hazardous materials accidentally spilled during transport could also degrade water quality. The construction would adversely affect up to 86 acres of prime and unique farmland, up to 19 potential hazardous materials and waste sites, up to 74 acres of upland habitat, up to 133 acres of wetlands, and up to 8,000 linear feet of floodplains. Under either of the build alternatives, the facility would adversely affect some adjacent properties in regards to noise levels.

Preparation date: December 18, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 58 MIDTOWN TUNNEL, CITIES OF NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA. AN - 36408858; 6193 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a limited-access highway facility and tunnel providing for east-west travel linking Route 58 and the Route 164 (Western Freeway) in Portsmouth to Brambleton Avenue in Norfolk, located in southeastern Virginia, is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 33 square miles and has a corridor length of approximately three miles. A No-Build Alternative, transportation system management and mass transit alternatives, and four sets of new alignment segments which were linked in various combinations to form several build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Beginning at the east end of the West Norfolk Bridge, the proposed project would proceed eastward with a six-lane roadway for a distance of approximately 2,600 feet to an interchange with the Martin Luther King Freeway (Route 58). The interchange would be located just west of the Portsmouth Marine Terminal. It would be configured as a three-legged directional facility providing local access to the Portsmouth Marine Terminal and to the Port Norfolk section of Portsmouth. From the interchange, the project would proceed eastward under the Elizabeth River via a two-lane tunnel, marking an alignment that would parallel the existing two-lane Midtown Tunnel. The river crossing would have a length of approximately 4,200 feet, and the project would connect in Norfolk to an existing interchange with Hampton Boulevard and Brambleton Avenue. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative, Alternative A4-B4(modified)-C1-D1 is $228.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide improved traffic flow between the cities of Portsmouth and Norfolk, from Route 58 and the east end of the West Norfolk Bridge in Portsmouth to Brambleton Avenue in Norfolk. Traffic movement at the Midtown Tunnel crossing would benefit most due to the removal of long traffic queues. From a regional viewpoint, the new facilities would further implement the transportation planning of the area and, hence, improve overall traffic flow, traffic capacity, and travel time in the interests of economic growth and population mobility. The preferred bridge alignment was selected because it avoid adverse impacts on a beach and salt marsh along Bayview Boulevard. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace one single-family house and three businesses employing approximately 47 people. A total of 35.7 acres of rights-of-way would be developed, resulting in an annual tax loss of $75,000. Dredging of the main stem and the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River would be required, resulting in short-term degradation of water quality. Ambient noise levels would increase in the vicinity of the roadway, affecting residential properties, a hospital, and recreational facilities.

AN - 36408820; 6191 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a pumped storage hydroelectric project with an estimated installed operating capacity of approximately 200 megawatts (MW), located five miles west of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, is proposed by Blue Diamond South Pumped Storage Power Company and the Blue Diamond Power Partners Limited Partnership (the applicant). The project considered in this final EIS would be a self-contained, off-stream project, in that it would use two reservoirs, transferring water back and forth from reservoir to reservoir, to either generate or store energy. The project would consist of a 31-acre upper reservoir contained by a lined and covered earthen embankment with a top dam elevation of 4,828 feet above mean sea level (msl) located near the crest of Blue Diamond Hill; a lower reservoir (afterbay) contained by a lined and covered earthen embankment located near the foot of Blue Diamond Hill, with a surface area of about 32 acres and a top dam elevation of 3,320 feet; an approximately 1,137-foot-long, 12-foot-wide, concrete-lined inclined shaft; a 1,176-foot-long, 12-foot-wide tunnel connecting with a 12-foot-wide penstock that would be installed in a trench, extending approximately 4,365 feet to an underground powerhouse, and upstream of the powerhouse bifurcating into two eight-foot-wide headrace tunnels leading to two generating units; an underground powerhouse immediately north of the afterbay at an approximate elevation of 3,087 feet msl, containing two 100-MW reversible pump-turbine units; two eight-foot-wide tailrace pipes extending about 100 feet from the powerhouse to the afterbay; a control building and substation located near the afterbay; a 2.2-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission line that would be routed eastward to connect with a Nevada Power Company transmission line; an approximately two-mile-long, 12-inch-wide water pipeline; project access roads including upgraded existing area roads for approximately 22,000 feet; and appurtenant facilities and equipment. The primary project facilities, including reservoirs, penstock, and powerhouse, would be new. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would satisfy the immediate electric power needs of the Las Vegas area and reduce the amount of power purchased from outside sources by the Nevada Power Company. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would permanently alter 182 acres of public lands and commit those lands to energy production and transmission.

AN - 36398824; 6189 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Joe Ney and Upper Pony Creek reservoirs in the Coos Bay Area, located along the southern Oregon coast, is proposed. The upper Pony Creek Reservoir is located about 5,000 feet upstream of Lower Pony Creek Dam, also known as Merritt Lake Dam. The Joe Ney Dike is located on Joe Ney Creek, about two miles east of Charleston, Oregon. The existing Joe Ney Reservoir is an impoundment created by a small earthen dike across Joe Ney Creek at approximately river mile 1.6. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve raising the existing 45.5-foot earthfill Upper Pony Creek Dam by 21.5 feet to triple the water storage capacity of the reservoir from 2,150 acre-feet (af) to 6,250 af. It would also include building a larger dam approximately 800 feet upstream of the existing nine-foot earthfill dike at Joe Ney Reservoir; the larger dam would be built to elevation 39 feet to increase storage from 120 af to 2,500 af for municipal and industrial uses. A new pump would be provided at Joe Ney Reservoir, and an inter-reservoir pipeline would be provided from Joe Ney Reservoir to Upper Pony Reservoir in order to increase the water transfer from 1.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) to up to 8.0 cfs. Project construction would include establishing borrow areas, constructing temporary and permanent access roads, establishing materials stockpiling and storage areas, and developing construction staging areas. The project would also include a logging plan to selectively log timber around the perimeters of both Joe Ney and Upper Pony Creek reservoirs and at other construction impact areas to salvage the economic value of the wood products, improve potential reservoir holding capacity, and to provide water quality protection. Total cost estimates for the project range from $15.5 million to $32.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would provide a water supply capable of meeting immediate and peak season municipal and industrial demands within the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board service area and incrementally meet peak season demands to the year 2030. There would be an increase of 168 jobs during the construction period. The logging sector would be expected to see a minimal increase in employment because approximately 135 acres of timber would be harvested within the project area. The municipal water availability that is necessary for economic development would allow the region to continue to develop to its planned build-out condition. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would include the conversion of approximately 500 acres of upland, wetland, and open water habitat, and the potential loss of anadromous fish rearing habitat.

AN - 36398786; 6187 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the navigation link between the Mississippi River in the vicinity of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet on the east side of the river, is proposed. The navigational link between the Mississippi River and these waterways is the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal and Lock constructed by the Port of New Orleans in 1923 in order to provide navigation between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, a distance of five miles, and to provide areas for industrial development. The lock is 75 feet wide and 640 feet long and has a sill depth of 31.5 mean low gulf. The lock has been operating at maximum capacity for a number of years, and vessel delays and congestion at the lock are chronic problems. Delays are aggravated by three bridges that cross the canal in the vicinity of the lock. These bridges are closed to navigation traffic during rush hours for vehicular traffic. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The tentatively selected plan would involve the construction of a precast, floated-in, concrete lock 110 feet wide by 1,200 feet long with a depth of 36 feet; the replacement of the Saint Claude Avenue Bridge with a low-level double-bascule bridge; the replacement of the lift span and the raising of the towers on the Claiborne Avenue Bridge; and the implementation of a project mitigation plan. The estimated first cost of the project is $510.7 million, and the total annual cost is estimated at $64.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of lock operations would benefit industry and commercial navigation by providing a more efficient connection between the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The average annual net benefits are estimated at $58.3 million, and the ratio of average annual benefits to average annual costs is 1.91 to one. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would adversely affect fish and wildlife habitat as a result of a temporary construction site (graving site) designated for construction of lock modules. The graving site would cause the loss of 25 freshwater wetland acres, although this loss would be mitigated by the restoration of wetlands in another location. In addition, this plan would cause traffic detours and congestion during the construction period, relocation of two businesses, job displacements, lost revenues for some local businesses, and construction noise in the vicinity of the canal.

AN - 36400582; 6182 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of hurricane surge flood protection for several communities on the west bank of the Mississippi River near New Orleans, Louisiana, is proposed. The project area is bounded by the Mississippi river to the north, Sala Avenue to the Company Canal and Bayou Segnette to the east, the Cataouatche levee to the south, and the Jefferson/Saint Charles Parish line on the west. Roughly 32 percent of the residential structures in the project area are located in areas vulnerable to 100-year event. If no additional flood protection measures were implemented, such a flood would result in damages in the area in excess of $102 million. Flooding was experienced in the area in 1985 from Hurricane Juan, which was not considered a major storm. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan (Plan 1C constructed to the SPH, or 500-year, level of protection) would provide for the construction of levees and floodwalls extending from Bayou Senette State Park to the St. Charles Parish line. The existing non-federal levee would be enlarged from the southern limits of Bayou Segnette State Park to the tie-in at US 90. The levee would be constructed using material excavated from the existing exterior canal. A combination levee and floodwall would be constructed through the state park, and swing gates would be provided in order to provide vehicle and pedestrian access. The floodwall would be capped with concrete and textured to blend with the natural park setting. The floodwall would extend protection north to the authorized Westwego to Harvey Canal project. The pumping station at the state park would be modified by replacing the existing fronting protection with a pile-supported T-wall. The protection along the western boundary of the project area would be accomplished by constructing a levee north of US 90 over the existing South Kenner Road. The mitigation plan under this alternative would involve the purchase of 39 acres of early successional stage bottomland hardwoods located near the state park. The total project first cost of the project is $14.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would reduce the potential for catastrophic loss of life and property damage from hurricane surge flooding. Adverse environmental impacts would be minimized by following the existing non-federal levee and by obtaining borrow material from the excavated canal. The benefit-cost ratio for the preferred alternative is 9.45. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The levee construction and upgrading would result in the loss of 57 acres of drained early successional bottomland hardwoods. Aquatic resources would be adversely affected by construction activities near the pumping plant and in the exterior borrow canal.

AN - 36387439; 6180 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of a hurricane evacuation route from eastern Pleasure Island in Baldwin County to Interstate 10 (I-10) on the mainland in Alabama is proposed. The project area is located along the Gulf Coast in an area susceptible to tropical cyclones or hurricanes. Alabama Highway 59 (AL 59), a two- to four-lane highway, currently serves as the main evacuation route for Pleasure Island. The highway, which is severely congested during the peak summer tourist season, is the only north-south highway in the project area. All other north-south traffic is carried by the two-lane AL 161 and county roads, chiefly CR 87 and CR 95. By way of contrast, four highways serve east-west traffic: AL 182, US 98, US 90, and I-10. In 1985, a state-sponsored study of the area concluded that an emergency evacuation of Pleasure Island would exceed the 12-hour hurricane warning period and that the population would be in peril if a severe hurricane were to approach the area. The final EIS for Pleasure Island considers the 7.3-mile portion of the evacuation route from the island to the mainland. Under the preferred alternative, AL 161 would be widened to five lanes from AL 182 to AL 180, where the proposed five-lane section on AL 161 would be extended on new location. The roadway would join existing CR 95 northwest of Wolf Air Field. The final EIS for Lower Baldwin County considers the efficient and expeditious distribution of traffic once it is on the mainland; this section of roadway would extend for approximately 16 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would extend the evacuation route from CR 95, near CR 20, to I-10. It would be a four-lane, divided highway that generally follows the alignment of CR 95, with future interchanges at US 98 and US 90. The project's estimated total costs are $97.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide enhanced public safety during hurricane season and substantially reduce the time needed to evacuate the coastal area. It would also improve everyday access to the area and stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 18 residences, eight businesses, and one fire station. Some encroachment on lands of the Gulf State Park would result from the widening of AL 161; in all, 15.7 acres of parkland would be converted to highway and utility use. Other adverse impacts would include the loss of wetlands, and the conversion of farmlands and woodlands to highway use.

This major sequence boundary is a key feature used to correlate strata across shelf and slope to the basin. Observations emphasize lithofacies distributions of the latest Pleistocene sediments underlying the unconformity, the late Pleistocene to early Holocene transgressive facies, and the immediately overlying deltaic deposits. Maps and a cross-section compiled with this information highlight the critical relation between lithofacies distributions and late Wisconsin sea-level oscillations. Core analysis reveals that the transgressive facies comprises distinct environments of deposition, offshore to onshore. Findings identify criteria to determine the approximate position of the shoreline at the late Wisconsin maximum sea-level lowstand and at the extent of early Holocene maximum marine inundation in the Balize complex. Mapping of lithologies along the late Wisconsin unconformity serves to improve correlation of sediment facies with changes in acoustic response along high-resolution seismic profiles. An estimate of long-term averaged land subsidence suggests lowering of at least 1mm/year near the shelfedge during the past approximately 18000 years. This mapping also refines sea-level response models for the Mississippi delta, including criteria to locate key paleogeographic features such as shelfedges and maximum flooding surfaces in other Recent marine deltas and in older, stacked deltaic sequences.

Fisk; a luminescent man AN - 52752730; 1997-019484 AB - The publication of the "Geological Investigation of the Alluvial Valley of the Lower Mississippi River" (Fisk, 1944) was the greatest achievement of Harold N. Fisk's remarkable career. Its creative rigor and vision marked a great leap forward in understanding the alluvial and sedimentological processes of the Mississippi Valley and the fundamental value of these insights to river engineering strategies and techniques. Fisk's monumental effort shares many common elements with great strides in other disciplines made during this era. The period from the 1920s to the 1940s was marked by breakthroughs in fields such as hydraulics, medicine, chemistry, and small-particle physics that featured grand vistas of discovery. Fisk's triumph, as in other cases, can be attributed to factors that supplemented and complemented his personal scientific brilliance. He displayed less tangible elements of personality, shrewdness, and leadership that enabled him to attract interest and support for his undertakings, build a highly devoted team of associates, maintain the confidence of sponsors, and "market" his discoveries through clever media relations. This remarkable and in some respects enigmatic man was able to make the most of his opportunities in much the same way as his stellar contemporaries. Doggedness, vision, insight, personal qualities, and the availability of Federal needs and generous funding were all synergetic, crucial elements in the preparation and acceptance of the "Fisk Report".

Prominent Pleistocene terraces are preserved in the tributary valleys. Fisk first formulated his four terraces framework on the Red River. Caution needs to be followed in projecting the Red River terraces across the entire Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV). The tributary system cannot be assumed to operate in a synchronized fashion in response to changes in climate and base level. To compare the collective contribution of the tributaries of the LMR, the streams are described in terms of: (1) their characteristics, (2) geomorphic development, (3) process and response of the tributaries to and from the LMR, and (4) engineering investigations and implications. The characteristics of the tributaries are a direct function of their drainage basin size and geology. The tributary system drains portions of six physiographic provinces. Synoptically, the tributaries can be viewed as two groups: the eastern and western tributaries. All of the eastern tributaries are intra-regional, i.e., they drain only one physiographic province, the Coastal Plain, and therefore, have a restricted sediment source. Generally, the eastern tributaries are more numerous and shorter than the western tributaries. The longer western tributaries drain outside the Coastal Plain. The extra-regional nature of the western tributaries adds to the variability of discharge and sediment types. The sediment record of the tributaries reflects response to the trunk Mississippi. During glacial outwash flushes, many of the tributaries were alluvially drowned, producing alluvial cones expressed as flattened longitudinal profiles. More recently, a number of tributaries in the state of Mississippi have experienced episodes of accelerated channel erosion. The effects of navigation and flood control modification of the Mississippi River on the tributaries have not been fully studied. Therefore, fluvial geomorphic research in the tributaries is essential to understanding ways to mitigate the adverse effects of river engineering, thereby designing engineering works in balance with the alluvial architecture and processes of the stream system.

N. Fisk to engineering geology in the Lower Mississippi Valley AN - 52751887; 1997-019485 AB - Fisk's work provided a three-dimensional pattern of occurrence and composition of sediments in the alluvial valley and deltaic plain of the lower Mississippi River. He also interpreted the processes by which the sediments were deposited and the relevance of tectonism in their history. These data provide site characterizations that are basic for all major categories of engineering. His work has found applications in better methods for control of the river, stabilizing its banks, locating sources of aggregate for concrete, management of groundwater, maintenance of wetlands, and generally for more reliable, timely and economical evaluations in selecting optimum site locations and determining foundation conditions. Since then, work in the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV) has expanded enormously and continues to be greatly indebted to formative interpretations by Fisk.

Investigations by many agencies reflect over 150 years of study of the hydraulics and hydrology of the LMR, which have contributed significantly to our understanding of large alluvial rivers. In an effort to provide for flood control and navigation on the largest river in North America, private landowners and the US Army Corps of Engineers have performed a wide range of river engineering activities, including construction of levees, floodways, artificial cutoffs, bank revetment, training dikes, dredging, channel alignment, and reservoirs on the major tributaries. This unprecedented program of river engineering activities on the river during the last 100 years has resulted in the evolution of a freely meandering alluvial river to a highly trained and confined meandering channel. The LMR has increased its overall gradient and average top-bank width and generally increased its channel depth. The immediate response of the river to increased gradient as a result of the construction of artificial cutoffs was dampened in some locations by local geological controls. Examination of the trends in sediment dynamics of the LMR reveals that the suspended load of the river has decreased during the 20th century. Conversely, a trend in the bed load transport in the channel for the years 1930 and 1989 cannot be determined with confidence because of the difficulty in acquiring representative samples. The highly trained river now responds to channel forming flows by attempting to build mid-channel bars rather than natural cutoffs of meanders. The LMR should maintain a relatively stable plan form in the intermediate future, barring a very large and unprecedented flood. The river will continue to adjust its channel geometry and its local gradients as a response to variations in significant discharges. Continued channel maintenance and occasional dredging will insure the present state of sediment and water transport efficiency.

AN - 36409058; 6174 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an international wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and associated outfall facilities in order to treat flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River and its tributaries near the California-Mexico line is proposed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would make grants to the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) to construct a collection, conveyance, and treatment works in the Tijuana River valley and an ocean outfall in United States waters. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative with two Mexican action variations, were considered in the final EIS of February 1994. Under the preferred alternative identified in the Record of Decision of May 1994, a 25-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) secondary wastewater treatment plant would be constructed on an approximately 75-acre site on Dairy Mart Road. The IWTP would collect and treat wastewater flows from the city of Tijuana that are currently flowing into California via the Tijuana River, other renegade wastewater flows entering the United States from north-draining canyons and gullies, and future sewage flows from Tijuana up to a total of 25 mgd. Treatment processes would include primary treatment by mechanically cleaned bar screens, grit removal by aerated vortex grit chambers, primary sedimentation removal by chemically-assisted, covered rectangular clarifiers, biological treatment by activated sludge mixing with fine bubble diffusers in uncovered basins, secondary sedimentation removal by uncovered rectangular clarifiers, and disinfection by chlorination/dechlorination on-site. Odor control would include a two-stage scrubber for the headworks and single-stage demisting for primary sedimentation and sludge processing. The sludge treatment process would include sludge thickening by dissolved air flotation thickeners, sludge stabilization by lime stabilization and pasteurization, and sludge dewatering by belt filter press technique. Following treatment, effluent would be discharged into the Pacific Ocean in the United States via a land and ocean outfall conveyance system, a pipeline consisting of two segments: the south bay land outfall and the south bay ocean outfall. The ocean outfall, which would connect to the land outfall, would run underground to a point 18,400 feet offshore and discharge treated effluent at an ocean depth of 93 feet; it would be designed to carry an average outflow of 132 mgd. Sludge generated by the treatment plant would be either processed by sludge processing facilities on-site or transported, in dilute form, back to Mexico for treatment and disposal. The proposed action would be undertaken with the understanding that Mexico would make significant in-country improvements to ensure that there would be no discharges of treated or untreated domestic or industrial wastewater into the Tijuana River that crosses the international boundary. The construction of the IWTP and associated conveyance and outfall pipelines would begin in 1994 and would continue into 1998. The estimated construction costs of the IWTP are $142 million; the estimated construction costs for the ocean outfall are $124 million. This supplement to the final EIS considers alternatives for using the IWTP as an advanced primary treatment works until the ocean outfall is completed. It also considers the effects of discharging advanced primary effluent through the ocean outlet. This final supplement, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft supplement as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft supplement has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the region would benefit ecologically, economically, recreationally, and public health- wise. The treatment of raw sewage currently flowing from Mexico into the San Diego area via the Tijuana River would improve public health and safety in southern California. The quarantines of beaches along the south San Diego shore would be obviated, and severe damage to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve would be halted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the IWTP would displace five residences, 14 acres of livestock areas, and farm buildings. Divers swimming near the outfall would be exposed to health risks. The increase in noise levels, and the use of artificial lighting at night during the breeding season, from the construction of the IBWC field office could adversely affect the least Bell's vireo. The noise from construction could also adversely affect the coastal California gnatcatcher.

AN - 36400681; 6169 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach in the community of Broadkill Beach, Delaware, is proposed. Broadkill Beach is an unincorporated bayfront community located in Sussex County approximately three miles northwest of Lewes and extending along three miles of bay frontage. The area has been subject to major flooding, erosion, and wave attack during storms, and continued erosion has resulted in damage to structures and a reduction in the height and width of the beachfront. In addition, the absence of a continuous dune system, the proximity of roads to the shoreline, and the concentration of homes on the bay side of Bayside Drive combine to make the area vulnerable to catastrophic damage from a major storm. The preferred plan for beach for storm damage and erosion control is beach nourishment, utilizing sand obtained from two offshore borrow areas. Beach nourishment would consist of berm and dune restoration along 13,500 linear feet of the bayfront. The plan would require 1.31 million cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial beachfill placement, with 358,400 cy for periodic nourishment every five years over a 50-year project life. The beach nourishment would involve a 100-foot minimum design width berm with a top elevation of eight feet. The dune would be 11,500 feet long, with a top elevation of 16 feet and a top width of 25 feet. Dune grass would be placed on 174,800 square yards, along with 17,800 feet of dune fencing. Initial project costs for construction are estimated at $8.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and benefit recreational resources. Average annual benefits would be $1.7 million for damage reduction, which when compared to the annual cost of $1.3 million yields a benefit-cost ratio of 1.34, with $438,000 in net benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would cause the temporary disturbance of biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment.

AN - 36408615; 6167 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project by Daniel Irrigation Company to replace water currently diverted from the upper Strawberry River basin, located in north central Utah, is proposed. The replacement water would be supplied by water conserved from providing pressurized water that would make it possible for farmers to convert from flood irrigation to sprinklers. The pressurized water would be delivered to irrigation company services areas by pipelines extending from the Timpanogos, Wasatch, and Humbug canals. Conserved water also would be used to supplement flows of five Heber Valley streams: Rock Ditch, Spring Creek, lower Lake Creek, London Ditch, and Creamery Ditch. Pumping facilities would be provided to allow Heber City to purchase pressurized water for a secondary, outdoor irrigation system that would be installed by the city. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. A second proposal, the Provo River Restoration Project, would involve reconstructing and realigning the existing Provo River channel and floodplain system between Jordanelle Dam and Deer Creek Reservoir in a meandering riffle-pool sequence to re-create a naturally functioning river channel contiguous with the floodplain in dynamic equilibrium with the current valley and hydrologic conditions. This proposal was presented in the draft EIS and will be further analyzed in a separate final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposal, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would be established. A natural flow would be restored to the Strawberry River and its tributaries, and water use efficiency would be improved in nine of the 12 Heber Valley irrigation companies. Trout biomass in the upper Strawberry River basin would increase by 914 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Strawberry River project would lower groundwater levels in portions of Heber Valley. Diversion facilities in the upper Strawberry River basin would be abandoned and removed, impacting portions of the canal system and compromising the integrity of the historic property. Pasture and grazing land would be lost during construction.

AN - 36413762; 6165 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Route 13 from the interchange with the Route 10 bypass just south of Richmond to Route 24 just south of Lexington, a distance of ten miles, in Lafayette and Ray counties, Missouri, is proposed. The roadway would consist of a four-lane facility with two traffic lanes in each direction and full-paved shoulders, separated by a depressed grass median; the upgrade would require a relocation of Route 13 and a bridge across the Missouri River. Existing Route 13, which was constructed in the 1920's, suffers from substandard geometrics, inadequate roadway cross-section, impassability during flood conditions, and a narrow bridge structure in need of rehabilitation. Portions of the roadway lie within the 100-year floodplain; during the summer of 1993, access to the Lexington bridge was impassible due to flood conditions. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative MOPE), the facility would utilize a two-mile segment of existing Route 13 out of Richmond, then bypass Henrietta and Lexington to the north. Portions of the roadway would be elevated to the 500-year floodplain elevation. The alignment would cross the Missouri River approximately one mile north of the existing bridge. Under the No Action Alternative, the project would involve only the rehabilitation of the existing bridge. The estimated costs under the preferred alternative are $101.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would reduce accident rates on existing Route 13 and adjoining routes, improve response time for emergency vehicles, improve access to the lake areas in central and southern Missouri, and improve overall transportation efficiency. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would displace approximately 388 acres of prime farmland, result in nine residential relocations, and adversely affect 12.6 acres of wetlands, 17.5 acres of woodlands, and two potentially significant archaeological sites. In addition, 231 acres of floodplain would be filled, and two permanent streams and six intermittent streams would be crossed.

Preparation date: November 18, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NINE-FOOT NAVIGATION CHANNEL PROJECT, CHANNEL MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER, HEAD OF NAVIGATION (MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA) TO GUTTENBERG, IOWA. AN - 36409020; 6163 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the channel maintenance management plan (CMMP) for maintaining a nine-foot navigation channel, along with commercial and small-boat harbors, on the Upper Mississippi River between Guttenberg, Iowa, and the head of navigation at Minneapolis, Minnesota, is proposed. The management plan also includes actions for maintaining the navigable portions of the lower Minnesota River and lower Saint Croix River. The project area extends for 243.6 miles along the Mississippi River, 14.7 miles along the Minnesota River, 24.5 miles along the Saint Croix River, and 1.4 miles along the Black River. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Great River Environmental Action Team I Channel Maintenance Plan), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the CMMP) would consolidate previous planning efforts into a comprehensive long-term management plan for channel and harbor maintenance related activities on the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). The CMMP would include five basic actions: actively maintaining, by dredging, approximately 101 dredging locations in the District; placing dredged materials at 78 placement sites; repairing, constructing, modifying, and/or removing channel structures; removing snags from authorized portions of the UMR, Minnesota River, and Saint Croix River; and developing a program for comprehensive management of recreational beach sites through dredged material placement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would facilitate navigation of the nine-foot channel and allow for the movement of bulk commodities at considerable savings to shippers over alternative transportation methods. Economic effects from commercial navigation include spending and employment generated by the commercial navigation industry, including wages, fuel, supplies, rents, and terminal expenses. Approximately 78 percent of the dredged material would be used beneficially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb and/or destroy fish and wildlife habitats as a result dredging and dredged material placement site use. The CMMP would adversely affect approximately 2,988 acres of main channel habitat, 623 acres of upland habitat, and 215 acres of wetland and aquatic habitat through dredging and dredged material placement site use. Approximately 41 acres of the wetland loss would occur as a result of a park development plan (Blackhawk Park).

AN - 36401747; 6157 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River, located in northwestern Washington, is proposed. Much of the 45-mile-long river flows through the Olympic National Park. In the early 1900s, the free-flowing Elwha River was blocked by two hydroelectric dams. In 1912, the Elwha Dam was built 4.9 miles from the mouth of the river, creating Lake Aldwell. In 1926, the Glines Canyon dam was built 8.5 miles further upstream, creating Lake Mills. The presence and operation of the dams blocked the migration path for several species of salmon and trout, which, after maturing in the ocean, return to Elwha to spawn, and the dams prevent the downstream flow of nutrients, sediment, and woody debris needed by the fish to spawn and rear juveniles. The fish were also important to the diet, culture, and economy of a local Indian tribe, the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve the retention of the dams, were considered in the draft EIS of April 1996. The proposed action (the River Erosion Alternative) would involve fully restoring the river ecosystem and its fisheries by removing both dams over an 18- to 24-month period and implementing fish restoration and revegetation. Elwha Dam would be removed by blasting, and Glines Canyon Dam by a combination of blasting and diamond-wire saw cutting. Lake Aldwell would be drained by a diversion channel, and Lake Mills by notching down Glines Canyon Dam. Stored sediment would be eroded naturally by the Elwha River. The Dredge and Slurry Alternative would involve the use of suction dredges to remove fine-grained sediment prior to dam removal. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $113.1 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would fully restore the Elwha River ecosystem, return the cultural and economic focus of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, and promote the federal trust responsibility to affected Indian tribes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The deactivation of the dams would result in the loss of 18.7 megawatts of hydroelectric power now produced at these two sites. If sediment were allowed to erode naturally, the finer-grained particles, like silt and clay, could adversely affect fish or other aquatic organisms. Flood risks would increase following dam removal.

AN - 36398680; 6155 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of road and highway access between the Lake Erie waterfront and the east side of the city of Erie, Pennsylvania, and adjacent communities is proposed. The 25-square-mile study area includes the borough of Wesleyville, and the townships of Lawrence Park, Harborcreek, and Millcreek. The roadway system in these areas is characterized by narrow lane widths, inadequate shoulder widths and sight distances, steep grades, sharp horizontal curves, restrictive clearances, and the lack of turning lanes; significant congestion occurs at key intersections during the afternoon peak period. Three composite build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of February 1996. Each would involve the construction of a new roadway alignment and the implementation of mass transit and traffic design improvements. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would upgrade State Route 430 from the interchange with I-90 to the intersection of the Bayfront Parkway and Port Access Road, a distance of 6.1 miles. The preferred alternative would also implement design improvements along East 12th Street, East 28th Street, and Pine Avenue in Erie, and along Station Road and Buffalo Road in Wesleyville. Minor repairs such as resurfacing, traffic lane marking, minor widening, and turning lane construction would be performed. The estimated costs of the project are $87 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would improve traffic safety and efficiency throughout the region and transportation links between the central Erie business district and communities to the east. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 39 residences, 13 businesses, and 3.8 acres of wetlands. This alternative would cross or disturb one historic property and one historic district.

AN - 36412163; 6151 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, fully controlled highway to replace existing US 71 connecting DeQueen, Arkansas, and Interstate 40 near Alma, Arkansas, is proposed. The existing US 71 is a two-lane highway extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana. The US 71 highway corridor is one of 21 high-priority corridors in the National Highway System. The 500-mile Shreveport to Kansas City corridor is one of the longest corridors in the system. The project examined in this draft EIS would be 125 miles in length, beginning in Sevier County at the crossing of US 70 just east of DeQueen and extending north to the existing interchange of I-540 and I-40 in Crawford County. Throughout the proposed route, the highway would pass through forest and farm landscapes, would bypass the many rural communities along US 71, would cross the mountains of the Ouachita National Forest, and would also cross the Ouachita, Fourche LaFave, Poteau, Petit Jean, and Arkansas rivers. The highway would be built to insterstate standards with a design speed of 70 miles per hour. The possibility of building an additional two lanes adjacent to existing US 71 was investigated but rejected because such a project would have design deficiencies and would require several hundred relocations. Instead, a 22-mile corridor paralleling US 71 was identified as the project corridor. This corridor was further subdivided into 14 segments, and three alternative alignments were analyzed within each segment. A preferred alignment within each corridor was also identified. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace up to 1,143 acres of prime farmlands, fill 51.9 acres of wetlands, encroach on 286.4 acres of floodplain, cross 90 streams and a national recreation trail, and adversely impact one park, one historic site, and 60 potential archaeological sites. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 86 houses, 12 mobile homes, and six businesses. Noise levels would increase at 234 receptors.

AN - 36398393; 6150 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge over the Mississippi River connecting Desha County, Arkansas, with Rosedale in Bolivar County, Mississippi, is proposed. Rosedale, which is located at the convergence of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers, is the site of a developing water port. Since 1977, key area leaders have argued that a bridge carrying rail and highway traffic over the Mississippi River would spur economic development. Five alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would extend from a western terminus at US 65 either north or south of Dumas, Arkansas, to an eastern terminus at State Highway 8, near Rosedale. A roadway would be developed from the western bridge approach to the project terminus at US 65 and from the eastern bridge approach to the project terminus at State Highway 8. The two-lane highway would be approximately 32 miles long with a design speed of 60 miles per hour. The railway portion of the bridge would connect the Great River Railroad, owned and operated by Bolivar County in Mississippi, with tracks on the Arkansas side owned and operated by the Missouri Pacific Division of the Union Pacific Railroad. The main channel span of the Mississippi River crossing would be 1,000 feet long, with a horizontal navigation opening of 900 feet and a vertical clearance of 57.7 feet. Two optional bridge designs are being considered for the Arkansas River crossing: a concrete segmental box superstructure with a 110 foot parabolic haunch, and a steel haunched girder system with four lines of girders and a parabolic haunch of approximately 91 feet. Each of the build alternatives would involve a distinct combination of four alignment segments. Under each alternative, the railroad alignment would generally run parallel to the highway alignment. The estimated construction costs are $456.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Rosedale, Mississippi, and Dumas, Arkansas. It would also attract new industry to the region, expand existing industry in the region, expand the employment base, and attract tourists to the area. The bridge would result in travel time savings of $3.5 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The bridge would have a major aesthetic and visual effect on views of the river, including the view from the Great River Road State Park.

AN - 36387206; 6146 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of beach nourishment, dune stabilization, and sand transfer plant construction measures in order to address shoreline erosion and storm damage in southeastern Florida is proposed. The project area includes 88 miles of shoreline in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties, extending from the southern end of Key Biscayne to the Jupiter Inlet in northern Palm Beach County. All of Florida's 8,400 miles of tidal shoreline are low-lying and vulnerable to storm surge and other storm-associated damage. The southeastern beaches (Region III) were identified as the first section of a statewide study because it is the most densely populated coastal region in Florida, and has the largest local, state, and federal investment in shore protection. Issues identified in the scoping process include the source of the sand to be used for beach nourishment, impacts of nourishment on sea turtle populations and sea grass beds, and impacts of turbidity and sedimentation on hardgrounds. Under the currently proposed combination of alternatives, beaches would be restored within 21 distinct segments of shoreline through beach fill and nearshore berm placement. Permanent sand transfer plants would be established for the Lake Worth and South Lake Worth Inlets. Dune stabilization through grassing would occur where necessary. Bahamian sand would be used for sand-starved areas in Broward and Dade Counties, creating 215 acres of new beach that should be an ideal habitat for sea turtle nesting. The total estimated first cost to implement these projects is $87.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects, improve management of federal shore protection projects, provide effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation and sea turtle nesting, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. Sand placed within the project limits would also feed the downdrift beaches to the south. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered species as manatees and sea turtles. The immediate adverse effects to the borrow site would be the temporary defaunation of the benthic community.

AN - 36415208; 6139 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 18-mile segment of US Highway (USH) 12 that links Sauk City and Middleton, located in south central Wisconsin, is proposed. The two-lane highway is a principal east-west connector route across the region. A high volume of commuter traffic and agricultural vehicles, combined with numerous access locations and substandard geometric layout, have created a high risk of severe crashes and a low level of service. From 1985 to 1995, a total of 1,818 crashes occurred along this stretch of highway. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of April 1995. Under the proposed action, the existing roadway would be upgraded to a four-lane highway that would generally follow the existing alignment in order to avoid existing resources and help preserve farmland and farm operations. Public and private access to the new rural expressway would remain at-grade and continue to be controlled through existing state statutes. The project would also involve widening and rehabilitating the existing two-lane bridge crossing the Wisconsin River at Sauk City, improving the signalized intersection of Phillips Boulevard and Water Street, installing a signalized intersection at the intersection with CTH K, and constructing a freeway bypass to the west of the city of Middleton. Access to the bypass would be controlled through grade-separated ramp interchanges at Schneider Road, Airport Road, and University Avenue. The existing roadway through Middleton would remain in place as a local road. Rideshare programs, park-and-ride lots, and staggered work shifts would be implemented as part of the proposed project. The estimated cost is $64.0 million. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers 12 alignment alternatives and identifies a preferred alternative (Alternative 4). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce the number of fatal crashes in the project area by nearly 50 percent. It would increase capacity, improve geometric characteristics, and provide safer passing, turning, and crossing opportunities. The four-lane highway would give drivers greater flexibility in maneuvering within the high volume of traffic. Improved traffic flow would reduce noise and pollutant levels. The project's benefit-cost ratio is 6.1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would involve the displacement of 47 housing units, 14 commercial properties, 424 acres of farmland, 27 acres of woodland, and four acres of wetlands. Up to six historic sites and four archaeological sites would be adversely affected. The proposed route would traverse a portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.

AN - 36405535; 6136 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the east-west corridor extending 21 miles from the junction of State Trunk Highway (STH) 16 and I-94 in Waukesha County east to the downtown Milwaukee and Lake Michigan in Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin is proposed. The study area, which is approximately five to seven miles wide, generally follows the east-west route of I-94 and extends north at its eastern terminus to include the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus and the near-north-shore communities adjacent to the city of Milwaukee. The study area includes portions of seven cities (Brookfield, Glendale, Milwaukee, New Berlin, Waukesha, Wauwatosa, and West Allis); three villages (Elm Grove, Shorewood, and West Milwaukee); and three towns (Brookfield, Pewaukee, and Waukesha). The decentralized growth patterns in the corridor have resulted in substantial traffic problems: congestion and delays due to slow travel speeds, traffic stoppages, and long queues at ramps and intersections. Ten alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. A No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1) would make spot improvements to I-94 through resurfacing, bridge repair, and interchange reconfigurations. These improvements would be included as the bale element in the remaining nine alternatives. Alternative 2 would expand bus service. Alternative 3 would add light rail transit (LRT) alignments to the north, northwest, south, and west in Milwaukee County. Alternative 4 would add an LRT alignment to the north. Alternative 5 would modernize I-94 without special lanes for car pools and buses. Alternative 6 would modernize I-94 with special lanes for car pools and buses. Alternative 7, Alternative 8, Alternative 9, and Alternative 10 would all combine the LRT alternatives with the I-94 modernization alternatives. The estimated capital costs of the project range from $1.1 billion for Alternative 1 to $2.8 billion for Alternative 10. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The corridor improvements would reduce congestion on the existing roadways, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would displace 60 residential units and 49 businesses. They would also increase noise levels at 421 to 436 receptors, encroach on the 100-year floodplain of the Menomonee River, alter the visual setting, and adversely affect eight historic sites and up to two potential archaeological sites. The I-94 modernization alternatives would disturb up to 3.7 acres of wetlands. The LRT alternative would displace several church-related facilities along Fond du Lac Avenue.

AN - 36403734; 6127 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a 1,200-slip saltwater marina and related upland support facilities by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community on a 240-acre site located on the west shore of the Swinomish Channel, immediately south of State Route 20, located in northwest Washington, is proposed. The project would consist of three elements: the marina basin (58 acres), wetland mitigation site (63 acres), and upland commercial site (119 acres). The upland site would primarily contain facilities associated with the marina: dry dock storage, boat repair yard, recreational vehicle park, restaurant, harbor office, public viewing area, and parking. The development of the marina would involve the excavation of 1.8 million cubic yards of material from 53 acres of actively farmed uplands, the dredging of 4.9 acres of existing wetlands, and the filling of 4.7 acres of wetlands. The excavated material would be used to dike and fill on site, to increase the height of existing upland areas, and to protect adjacent farmland from flooding. Habitat mitigation efforts would include the reintroduction of saltwater and tidal influences, the creation of 22 acres of new wetlands, and the restoration of 40.6 acres of wetlands to historic conditions. The proposal presented in this final supplement revises a proposal presented in the draft supplement of September 1992. That proposal would have required the excavation of 37 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 9.4 acres of upland dune habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The marina would serve two primary purposes: to meet the moorage needs of the recreational boating public, and to provide economic development opportunities for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. The project would generate a minimum of 100 construction jobs, plus up to 250 permanent jobs for members of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. These jobs would provide an economic stimulus to the community. The site would be altered from a commercial bingo parlor and vacant uplands to a marina with upland support facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in an increased risk of accidental spills of oil or sewage into open water. Some 167 acres of agricultural land would be permanently altered. The increases in noise and human activity in the site vicinity could affect harbor seals, river otters, birds, and other wildlife.

AN - 36408910; 6121 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an interchange along I-495 at the Marlborough /Southborough corporate boundary, located in east-central Massachusetts, is proposed. The interchange would be constructed between the Route 9 and Route 20 interchanges (approximately one mile south of the Route 20 interchange) and provide access to Crane Meadow Road. It would relieve congestion on area arterials and other interchanges and improve access to the commercial and industrial areas between Route 9 and Route 20 in west Marlborough. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three major interchange alternatives are under consideration. The preferred alternative, known as the Free-Flow Alternative, would consist of a full-service, diamond-type interchange providing access to the west, to Crane Meadow Road, but no access to the east. This alternative is a refinement of the Truncated Diamond (TD) configuration presented in the draft EIS of May 1993. The TD Alternative would consist of northbound and southbound off- and on-ramps terminating at an overpass and connector road extending to Crane Meadow Road. The connector road would have two westbound and two eastbound lanes. The ramps would each consist of one lane, with the northbound off-ramp widening to two lanes on its approach to a signalized intersection at the overpass, and the southbound on-ramp tapering from two lanes at the overpass to one lane where it merged with I-495. The new preferred alternative would eliminate a potential conflict between the northbound off- and on-ramp at the Connector Road by providing an overpass carrying off-ramp traffic over on-ramp traffic. The elimination of queuing would permit a single-lane configuration in each direction. Left turns would be eliminated by providing for free-flow traffic. One four-lane span across I-495 would be replaced by separate single-lane spans. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $12.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interchange would improve access to the commercial and industrial area in west Marlborough and provide a stimulus for additional development in the area, resulting in 6.5 million square feet of new commercial space and 4,800 new secondary jobs. The interchange would provide for the safe and efficient movement of traffic volume through the year 2016 and, in so doing, would reduce traffic congestion on local roads and intersections. Air quality would improve at locations along Route 20 as a result of the diversion of trips to the new interchange. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would eliminate 0.50 acres of wetlands and more than 50 feet of bank, and would convert approximately 20 acres of wildlife habitat to highway use.

AN - 36408865; 6119 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a new transportation corridor or enhancement of the existing transportation system for US 12, US 101, and State Route 109 (SR 109) through the cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam, located in coastal western Washington, is proposed. The project area begins in the vicinity of US 12 and South Fleet Street intersection in Aberdeen and terminates in the vicinity of the SR 109 and SR 109 Spur junction in Hoquiam, a distance of approximately eight miles. The US 101 corridor is the main route between the metropolitan Puget Sound region, the Pacific Ocean Beaches, and the western Olympic Peninsula. Besides handling significant volumes of local and truck traffic, the corridor conveys thousands of tourists during peak spring and summer periods. The existing facility consists of a single couplet of two-lane, one-way streets that are frequently congested. A designated truck-route bypass is located in the industrial areas south of the US 101 couplet; most trucks do not use the bypass because it has no connection across the Hoquiam River. The existing bridges over the Wishkah River and Hoquiam River are low-level movable structures that can, when open to river traffic, have significant impact on traffic flows. Three of the four bridges are between 45 and 70 years old and have high maintenance needs requiring periodic closure. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All four of the build alternatives would make multi-modal improvements such as increasing the number of buses, constructing bus pull-outs, and constructing bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Alternative II-B would make low-cost improvements to the existing system, but would not involve any new bridge construction. Alternative III-B would involve constructing a new Hoquiam River Bridge as well as connections and improvements to the existing truck route. Alternative IV-A would construct new bridges over both the Hoquiam and Wishkah Rivers, complete the interchange for the Chehalis River Bridge, and construct a new highway alignment using railroad right-of-way and existing streets. Alternative IV-B would include the same facilities as Alternative IV-A using existing streets and a new alignment. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $1.6 million to $159.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve traffic flow conditions along the US 101 corridor, relieve existing traffic congestion, improve safety, and promote economic growth for the region by improving truck access to port facilities and decreasing travel time through the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under Alternative III-B, Alternative IV-A, and Alternative IV-B would displace up to 21 businesses and 46 residences and would affect some wetland areas near the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. Two properties within the corridor are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and fourteen others are eligible for listing.

Preparation date: October 15, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREAT LAKES ICEBREAKING, INDIANA, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN. AN - 36400221; 6120 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of icebreaking operations in the Great Lakes by the Coast Guard is proposed. These operations are conducted in order to facilitate shipping, flood control, search and rescue operations, and research and development. Icebreaking for shipping involves the establishment and maintenance of tracks in critical waterways and, secondarily, direct assistance as needed to prevent hazardous conditions and to extricate vessels in danger. Any flood control efforts by the Coast Guard are made after consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers. The Coast Guard employs nine vessels in its icebreaking operations on the Great Lakes, connecting waters, and harbor and river mouths. These diesel-fueled vessels have crew sizes of 15 to 75 persons and self-contained sanitary waste systems. Under the proposed action, the Coast Guard would allocate its icebreaking hours much as it has in the past: 35 percent of its time would be dedicated to Lower Lake Superior and the Saint Marys River, and another 35 percent would be dedicated to the upper reaches of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. All of these areas freeze over to a depth of 17 inches. Traffic on the Saint Marys River during winter depends on the status of the lock facility. When the locks are closed (January 16 through March 24), the Coast Guard typically makes a single transit per day between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Lake Huron. When the lock opens, the Coast Guard escorts an average of five commercial vessels during a typical March day. The upper reaches of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are high priority areas because the area has heavy shipping traffic and contains inhabited islands for which ferry tracks must be maintained. The other seven operational areas would each be allocated one to five percent of the Coast Guard's icebreaking hours. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The maintenance of shipping lanes during the winter months is vital to the regional economy. Open shipping lanes provide economic benefits of $49 million a year at a cost of $11 million a year, resulting in a benefit-cost ratio of 4.6 to one. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Icebreaking increases turbulence, which, in turn, could stir up sediments and associated contaminants. In addition, the risk of oil and hazardous materials spills would be introduced during a period of time when there would normally be none.

Preparation date: October 15, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BREVARD COUNTY SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT REVIEW STUDY, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36411274; 6108 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach along 24 miles of shoreline in Brevard County, located on the central east coast of Florida, is proposed. The project area is located between Canaveral Harbor and Spessard Holland Park and includes the city of Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach. The northern reach of the project area runs from Canaveral Harbor to the northern limit of Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB) while the southern reach extends from the southern limit of PAFB to Spessard Holland Park. The 4.5 miles of PAFB has been excluded from the project at their request. Beaches within the project area are in a state of severe erosion and shoreline recession. Investigative studies have determined that construction of a protective beach would be the optimal method of reducing damages to structures and shoreline property. The southern reach includes 32 acres of nearshore rock outcrops, composed of lithified coquina limestone, and the protection of these outcrops was a significant issue raised during the scoping process. In response to environmental agency concerns, the northern limit of the southern reach was modified to exclude the portion of the shoreline which contains these outcrops. The recommended project would involve placing approximately 2.5 million cubic yards (cy) of sand along 9.4 miles of beach in the northern reach of the project area and 1.6 million cy of sand along 3.4 miles of the southern reach. The borrow area is located two to three miles offshore of Canaveral Bight. Beach nourishment would be timed so as not to conflict with sea turtle nesting season. Nourishment would be provided at six-year intervals over the 50-year life of the project. Initial fill costs would be $1.7 million for the northern reach and $2.3 million for the southern reach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage, benefit recreational resources, and protect shoreline property. The project would yield $3.1 million in the northern reach and $3.3 million in the southern reach, and benefit-cost ratios of 1.9 and 1.1, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would disturb biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment. The burial of the nearshore rock outcrops would result in the loss of a biologically significant marine ecosystem.

AN - 36403781; 6115 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a wetland area into a housing development and PGA-caliber golf course in southeastern Louisiana, is proposed. The project area consists of 656 acres of jurisdictional wetlands located on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish, south of New Orleans on the deltaic plain of the Mississippi River and the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The property is currently owned by Estelle Plantation Partnership (EPP). Access to the site is via Highway 3134. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, approximately 1.1 million cubic yards of fill material would be placed at the site, raising the elevation to a final grade about one foot above sea level. The golf facility would be constructed first, and the housing community would follow in phases. The housing development would consist of 748 units in the anticipated price range of $140,000 to $310,000. All fill material to be used at the site would be pumped directly from a permitted dredge location from the Mississippi River just south and east of Hero Canal. EPP intends to donate 175 to 200 acres of the property to Jefferson Parish for the construction of a public golf course. The site has been leveed and under pump for more than thirty years. Jefferson Parish land use plans provide for continued pumping of this area and for an increase in pumping capacity to be provided. The Estelle V-levee would be incorporated into the West Bank Hurricane Protection System by the Corps. The V-levee currently provides flood protection for a 100-year storm event. Upon completion of the upgrade, anticipated in the year 2000, the levee system would provide protection for a 300- to 500-year storm event. The other action alternatives would locate the facilities on alternative sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project, which would fit into the development plans of Jefferson County, would meet local demand for a public golf facility. Direct short- and long-term jobs provided by the facility are estimated at 75 to 80 and 35 to 40, respectively. The development would be anticipated to yield property taxes of approximately $125,000 in its first year, with an increase to $1,231,000 annually within 10 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would destroy existing wetlands and their associated habitat. Most of the existing vegetation would be removed, and the current wildlife population would be displaced, with the exception of small mammals. The pesticides and fertilizers used on the golf facility would pose a threat to surface waters. The project would also diminish the visual aesthetic values of the site.

AN - 36400646; 6112 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood recovery plan and a plan to reduce any future flood damages for Albany, located in southwestern Georgia, is proposed. Along the Flint River, Albany experienced the worst flooding in its history in July 1994 when Tropical Storm Alfredo struck the southeastern coast of the U.S., causing heavy rains to fall in the Flint River Watershed. The resulting flood, which crested at 44.3 feet, claimed four lives in Albany, displaced 22,000 residents, and damaged over 586 commercial structures, a 140-unit public housing development, and four schools. The four schools served the southwestern portion of Albany and had a combined enrollment of 2,006 students. The schools have remained closed, and their students have been transported to other schools throughout the city, creating serious classroom capacity problems. Shortly after the flood, the flood-damaged public housing units were demolished, contributing to the demand for more public housing in the area. Numerous alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the public housing would not be rebuilt and the public schools would be rebuilt with funds from other sources, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed flood recovery activities for Albany would involve the replacement of public schools, the replacement of 140 public housing units, and the elevation, acquisition, or demolition of flood-damaged residences and businesses. Two sets of alternatives are under consideration for the public schools: one set of alternatives would involve rebuilding three of the schools on the existing sites and elevating the new structures above the 500-year floodplain either by extending the foundation walls or by building the schools on a compacted soil pad; the other set of alternatives would involve building three of the schools on five potential new sites identified by the Dougherty County Board of Education. The proposed action for public housing would build 20 to 30 single-family or duplex units on six sites throughout Albany. The alternatives under consideration for the up to 500 flood-damaged private properties would involve either acquiring the property or elevating new structures to be rebuilt on their original sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions would help Albany recover from a disastrous recent flood and prevent such damages from occurring in the future. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rebuilding the schools on their present sites would mean that schools could not serve as a temporary shelters during a future flood. The construction of schools on new sites would displace forest lands and disrupt community cohesion. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 12898.

Preparation date: October 11, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST VIRGINIA ROUTE 9, BERKELEY SPRINGS TO MARTINSBURG, BERKELEY AND MORGAN COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36398621; 6104 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 27 miles of West Virginia Route 9 (WV 9) from Berkeley Springs to Martinsburg, located in northeast West Virginia, is proposed. WV 9, a two-lane, non-controlled-access roadway with lanes 10 to 12 feet wide, traverses the state's pandhandle from Berkeley Springs in the northwest, through Berkeley and Jefferson counties to the state border with Virginia, in the southeast. The region is characterized by rough and steep terrain in Morgan County, and rolling hills and farmland in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties. WV 9 is the only major roadway that connects the two largest cities in the panhandle, Martinsburg and Charles Town, and links two other major interstate roadways, US 340 and I-81. The segment of WV 9 under consideration in this draft EIS extends from the US 522 bypass on the east side of Berkeley Springs to a new three-legged directional interchange with WV 45 in Martinsburg. Except for a four-lane portion of roadway at the I-81, the entire length of WV 9 in the project area is two lanes wide. The annual daily traffic volume varies from 2,800 vehicles per day near Berkeley Springs to 21,000 vehicles per day in Martinsburg. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and three system upgrade alternatives (a transportation system management alternative, a mass transit alternative, and an upgrade of the existing alignment alternative), five corridor alternatives west of I-81 and three alternatives east of I-81 are considered in this Tier One draft EIS; a corridor selection document will be issued prior to the issuance of a final EIS. Each of the eight corridor alternatives would involve construction of a new four-lane highway. All three of the corridors east of I-81 would bypass Martinsburg to the east. Corridor VII is the easternmost of these corridors. Of the five corridors west of I-81, Corridor IV is the northernmost and runs parallel to the Potomac River for much of its length. Corridor IX would add two additional lanes on either side of the existing WV 9. The estimated costs of the build corridors range from $115.2 million to $141.8 million west of I-81, and from $31.7 million to $37.3 million east of I-81. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, the facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and provide for improved intermodal facility connections and for enhanced scenic values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: West of I-81, the build alternatives would displace up to 1429 residences and businesses, fill 13.0 hectares of wetlands, encroach on 166 hectares of floodplains, and adversely affect approximately 590 acres of farmland. East of I-81, the build alternatives would displace up to 575 residences and businesses, fill 5.7 hectares of wetlands, encroach on 91 hectares of floodplains, and adversely affect approximately 178 acres of farmland.

Preparation date: October 9, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER BRIDGE CROSSING PROJECT, FOLSOM, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36403888; 6102 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge crossing the American River in the city of Folsom, located in north central California, is proposed. The project would relieve traffic congestion on the Rainbow Bridge, a two-lane bridge over the American River designed to carry traffic from Folsom and surrounding areas to US 50 and Sacramento. The bridge is currently operating at its design capacity. Folsom is located approximately 25 miles east of Sacramento and 25 miles west of Placerville in the eastern portion of Sacramento County. The project area extends from Lake Natoma on the west to Folsom Dam on the northeast. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The four build alternatives would involve the construction of a bridge with four to six lanes and improvements to access roads and nearby intersections. Alternative 1 would extend across Lake Natoma from Folsom Boulevard near its intersection with Leidesdorff Street to the Folsom-Auburn Road /Greenback Lake intersection. Alternative 2 would extend across the American River from the northern extension of Oak Avenue Parkway to East Natoma Street at Fargo Way. Alternative 3 would cross the American River immediately upstream from the existing Rainbow Bridge and include a connector to the Oak Avenue Parkway extension. Under this proposal, the new bridge would serve both directions of traffic while the Rainbow Bridge would serve southwest-bound traffic. Alternative 4 would cross the American River just below Folsom Dam, with access from Folsom-Auburn Road. The preferred alternative is a variation of Alternative 1 (Subalternative 1b), a 2300-foot-long, four-lane bridge across Lake Notoma; the bridge would be built on pilings on the north side of the river. The estimated project costs are $36.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All of the build alternatives would relieve traffic congestion on the bridge approach roadways and near intersections in the vicinity of the existing bridge, improve traffic circulation through Folsom, and stimulate local businesses. The potential for utility conduits to be added to the proposed bridge structure would decrease the need for additional utility corridors across the American River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would displace up to six residential parcels, two commercial properties, 15 acres of mixed forest, 1.7 acres of riparian woodland, 3.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 7.4 acres of oak savanna. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would decrease the size of the Folsom State Prison security buffer zone. Alternative 4 would result in the loss of a great blue heron rookery. Alternative 1 would result in the loss of a portion of state park (5.1 acres under Subalternative 1b) and disrupt bicycling and other recreational activities. All of the alternatives could disturb the habitat of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, a threatened species. Construction activity at all sites would result in significant increases in dust particle emissions and internal combustion engine emissions, violating state ambient carbon monoxide standards at 18 to 21 receptors.

AN - 36403809; 6096 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of hurricane surge flood protection is proposed for several communities on the west bank of the Mississippi River near New Orleans, Louisiana. The project area is bounded by the Bayou Segnette to the east, Lake Cataouatche to the south, the Mississippi river to the north, and the Saint Charles Parish line to the west. Roughly 32 percent of the residential structures in the project area are located in areas vulnerable to 100-year event. If no additional flood protection measures were implemented, such a flood would result in damages in the area in excess of $102 million. Flooding was experienced in the area in 1985 from Hurricane Juan, which was not considered a major storm. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The tentatively selected plan (Plan 1C) would provide for the construction of levees and floodwalls extending from Bayou Segnette State Park to the Saint Charles Parish line. The existing non-federal levee would be enlarged from the southern limits of Bayou Segnette State Park to the tie-in at US 90. The levee would be constructed using material excavated from the existing exterior canal. A combination levee/floodwall would be constructed through the state park, and swing gates would be provided in order to provide vehicle and pedestrian access. The floodwall would be capped with concrete and textured to blend with the natural park setting. The floodwall would extend protection north to the authorized Westwego to Harvey Canal project. The pumping station at the state park would be modified by replacing the existing fronting protection with a pile-supported T-wall. The protection along the western boundary of the project area would be accomplished by constructing a levee north of US 90 over the existing South Kenner Road. The mitigation plan under this alternative would involve the purchase of 39 acres of early successional stage bottomland hardwoods located near the state park. The total project first cost of the project is $14.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would reduce the potential for catastrophic loss of life and property damage from hurricane surge flooding. Adverse environmental impacts would be minimized by following the existing non-federal levee and by obtaining borrow material from the excavated canal. The benefit-cost ratio for the preferred alternative is 5.51. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee construction and upgrading would result in the loss of 57 acres of bottomland hardwoods. Aquatic resources would be adversely affected by construction activities near the pumping plant and in the exterior borrow canal.

Preparation date: October 4, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CHICAGOLAND UNDERFLOW PLAN, MCCOOK RESERVOIR, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36401667; 6093 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a reservoir for the temporary retention of floodwaters from the combined sewer areas of metropolitan Chicago is proposed. The combined sewer system conveys both sanitary sewage and stormwater runoff from Chicago and 36 communities to the north and west of the city. During periods of heavy rains, flood damages are aggravated by the back-up of sewers into basements and the seepage of water through basement floors and walls. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The project would involve converting the McCook Reservoir, a 250-acre limestone quarry owned by Vulcan Materials Company, into a flood control reservoir with a storage capacity of 10.5 billion gallons (32,100 acre-feet). Major construction features would include tunnels, hydraulic features, gates, valves, pumps, groundwater protection, aeration and washdown systems, grading, and landscaping. Operation of the reservoir would involve allowing water to flow from the existing Tunnel and Reservoir Plan tunnel system to the reservoir. The existing 33-foot diameter tunnel terminates at the Hodgkins Pump Plant and would be extended to the reservoir site, a distance of 1,100 to 4,000 feet, depending on the project design. After a flood event, water would be pumped from the reservoir to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's water reclamation plant for normal processing. Water in the reservoir would be aerated to minimize odors. Reservoir walls and floor would be washed down to remove sediments. A groundwater control system would prevent migration of reservoir water into the surrounding aquifer. The estimated construction cost of the authorized alternative is $307.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce sewer back-up flooding in over 137,000 structures annually; reduce seepage flooding, pumping and dredging costs, transportation delays, and backflows into Lake Michigan; improve water quality and recreational opportunities in Lake Michigan and area watercourses; and increase the availability of Lake Michigan water supplies. The storage of water in the reservoirs would result in reduced flows and velocities in area watercourses during storm events. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The authorized alternative would require the acquisition of 251 acres to be dedicated to the project. Tunnel excavation would require the removal and disposal of up to 3 million tons of tailings and waste rock.

Preparation date: October 4, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KAWEAH RIVER BASIN INVESTIGATION FEASIBILITY STUDY, KINGS AND TULARE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36408793; 6091 AB - PURPOSE: The increase of flood protection for the Kaweah River basin in south central California, is proposed. The river flows naturally from the Sierra Nevada westward into the Tulare lakebed in the San Joaquin valley. The study area is divided into regions: Terminus Dam and Lake Kaweah, the downstream area, and the Tulare lakebed. The dam was constructed in 1962 to provide a 60-year level of flood protection downstream. However, revised hydrologic information indicates that the dam provides only a 46-year level of protection because of unexpectedly high levels of precipitation and high levels of sedimentation within the reservoir. Since construction of the Terminus Dam, damaging floods have occurred in 1966, 1978, 1983, and 1986. Downstream communities and areas adjacent to the floodplain are at risk of future flooding. In addition, the Tulare lakebed is at risk of flooding and damaging area crops as a result of high flows from the Kaweah, Kern, Kings, and Tule rivers. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the locally preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the spillway at Terminus Dam would be raised 21 feet and widened 148 feet. An ungated ogee section would be placed over the existing broadcrested sill. The existing State Highway 198 bridge over Horse Creek would be relocated immediately upstream of the existing bridge. Recreation facilities in the Kaweah and Horse Creek Recreation Areas would be relocated so they would not be inundated in the spring and early summer when the reservoir filled. The water control diagram and basin wetness index would be revised to increase the space allotted to water supply and flood control. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, Visalia would be protected from floods from the Kaweah River to about the 70-year event, and the lakebed would be protected to about the 3.1-year level. An additional 8,400 acre-feet of water would be stored in the reservoir for irrigation uses. Fishery conditions in the winter would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and inundation would adversely affect 93 acres of riparian scrub, 70 acres of riparian forest, 132 acres of oak savannah, and 38 acres of oak woodland. Wildlife populations inhabiting those areas would be lost or displaced. Habitat of the elderberry longhorn beetle, an endangered species, would be lost.

AN - 36411141; 6088 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of marsh management strategies for the preservation of Louisiana's coastal wetlands is proposed. Louisiana's coastal wetlands are a disappearing landscape form. With the disappearance of the marshes so too would go the functions and values derived from and associated with coastal marshes unless comprehensive corrective actions are taken. In tidal waters, the dredging and placement of material to construct and/or maintain levees, and the installation of weirs, culverts, or gates, are examples of activities or structures that threaten or degrade coastal wetlands. The Army Corps of Engineers is charged with issuing permits for such activities on a case-by- case basis, under rules stipulating the consideration of resources relative to the public interest, including wetlands; fish and wildlife; water quality; historic, cultural, scenic, and recreational values; private ownership; energy conservation and development; environmental benefits; and economics. The proposed action in this programmatic final EIS would continue the issuing of permits for the installation, operation, and maintenance of structures for hydrologically managing Louisiana coastal marshes. Individual projects are considered under various assumptions about source, number, and general concept of candidate project types; about passive management; about marsh management and hydrologic restoration project design details; and about rate of project implementation. A No Action Alternative, which would involve denying all future permits, is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management activities would improve habitat conditions for trapped or hunted marsh-dependent species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unlimited public access would expose landowners to vandalism and liability. The harvesting of marsh-dependent species under unlimited public access would conflict with landowners property rights.

AN - 36408538; 6089 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for a 13.3-mile section of the White River in northern Indianapolis, Indiana, is proposed. The project area lies within the city of Indianapolis between Interstate 65 (I-65) and I-465. The project would supplement the existing flood-control system, which has provided a highly variable level of flood protection. Potential solutions considered include channel enlargement (dredging), construction of new levees, rehabilitation of existing levees, and various alignments and types of construction for new levees. This final EIS addresses only flood damage reduction for the Warfleigh section, which extends from Kessler Boulevard at the downstream limit to College Avenue at the upstream limit. For purposes of analysis, this section was divided into the South Warfleigh, Warfleigh, and Monon-Broad Ripple areas. The recommended plan for the Warfleigh section of the project is made up of the South Warfleigh River Alignment with Terracing; the Warfleigh I-wall Kessler Boulevard to College Avenue Alignment; and Monon-Broad Ripple 67th Street Alignment. Improvements in the South Warfleigh area would involve constructing about 4,100 feet of both levee and flood wall sections, as well as a dual terraced section behind the Riveria Club, extending approximately from the towpath of the Indianapolis Water Company canal downstream to near Kessler Boulevard. Improvements in the Warfleigh area would consist of an I-wall from just upstream of Kessler Boulevard to the downstream side of College Avenue. Improvements in the Monon-Broad Ripple area would consist of a combination of levee and flood control wall sections primarily following 67th Street, with its upstream limit being the Indianapolis Water Company canal. The total length of this alignment would be 4,749 feet, and include a 1,200-foot section that would require the raising of 67th Street to a higher elevation so that it would then serve as a levee. Also, the existing Warfleigh Pump Station would be rehabilitated and upgraded by supplying the existing structure with new electrical and mechanical equipment. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains a summary of the recommended plan as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been included as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, flood-related damage protection would be provided for approximately 1,592 residential and commercial properties, and annual flood-related damages would be reduced by approximately 58.5 percent. With proper mitigation practices, the construction would enhance the community greenbelt plan for the White River corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During construction, noise would increase, as well as dust and traffic disruption.

AN - 36408496; 6087 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of the U.S. Army Chemical School and the U.S. Army Military Police School from Fort McClellan, Alabama, to Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), Missouri, is proposed. FLW is located south of Interstate 44, about 120 miles southwest of Saint Louis, Missouri; the military base is primarily located in Pulaski County, with small portions located in Texas and Laclede counties. Fort McClellan in Alabama is scheduled for closing as part of a nationwide reduction in military force structure. The Army Chemical School provides education and training in the detection and identification of nuclear, biological, and chemical agents; the protection measures against such agents; and the use of smoke and other obscurants to protect soldiers in battle. The Army Military Police School is responsible for training military police. Issues identified during the scoping process include the effects of fog oil training on air quality, water resources, and soil; the storage and handling of hazardous materials; and the effects of anticipated population increases on public services. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Army's proposed action would relocate these two schools within the same general area as the U.S. Army Engineer Center at FLW so that the three schools could share classroom space and other facilities. Modifications or construction of buildings or facilities would be necessary to provide classroom space, housing, dining facilities, and vehicle maintenance and storage facilities. The $200-million construction effort would be completed in eight phases. In addition to the permanent party personnel relocations, the realignment would result in an increase of 2,130 trainees, 1,165 students, and 83 civilian students. The realignment would represent a 67 percent increase of FLW's population. A third training facility at Fort McClellan, the Chemical Defense Training Facility, would continue to operate at its present location until a replacement facility at FLW is constructed. The other two alternatives under consideration are the Relocate Current Practice Alternative and the Environmental Preferred Training Method Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of the three schools would maximize the synergism that exists between the Fort McClellan schools and the Army Engineer School, thereby reducing costs and improving training effectiveness. Local economic impact of the relocation would be positive in that it would provide a $67.6 million increase in annual regional business volume. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The projected use of 84,500 gallons of oil each year for fog oil training would exceed the annual and daily limits of the current permit and degrade air quality. In addition, the use of 22,550 gallons of fuel each year for flame field expedient deterrents training would degrade soil and water quality. Planned construction would disturb 1,053 acres, including some likely habitat areas for the Indiana Bat and the gray bat.

AN - 36413608; 6079 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of components of the Everglades Restoration Program which require actions by the federal government in Florida is proposed. The program has been developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and South Florida Water Management District in order to implement provisions of the Everglades Forever Act of 1994. The act establishes a plan for restoring a significant portion of the remaining Everglades ecosystem through a program of construction projects, research and regulation. The program includes 54 projects organized in seven separate program elements. The program elements are the Everglades construction project (ECP), hydropattern restoration, research and monitoring, regulation, exotic species control, funding, and annual progress report. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic final EIS. The ECP would include provisions for the construction six stormwater treatment areas (STAs) comprising approximately 40,473 acres of water treatment marshes. The STAs would remove phosphorus and other pollutants from stormwater runoff from the 769,500-acre Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA). The STAs would be located south of the EAA; treated water would be discharged to the water conservation areas and Everglades National Park (ENP). The ECP would also include several hydroperiod restoration projects designed to improve the location and timing of stormwater discharge from the EAA. Currently, the quality, timing, and location of stormwater discharges are contributing to adverse changes in plant and animal communities and threaten the ecological integrity of ENP. Federal actions required for implementation of the ECP would include permits for wetland impacts and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for surface water discharges. The proposed action for the ECP would include a combination of on-farm best management practices, the construction and operation of regional STAs, and the implementation of hydroperiod restoration projects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the ECP would result in significant long-term positive impacts to the Everglades ecosystem by restoring more natural water quality and hydropattern characteristics. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Existing agricultural croplands and Everglades wetland cover would be adversely affected by the ECP. Approximately 41,000 acres of agricultural croplands would be converted to STAs. The construction of project components (levees, canals, and structures) would adversely affect approximately 1,556 acres of federal jurisdictional wetlands and 859 acres of state jurisdictional wetlands. The ECP would alter existing recreation and wildlife management land uses in the EAA. Several recorded archaeological sites could be adversely affected by construction and operation of the ECP. Adverse noise impacts associated with the ECP would occur from the operation of project pumps, construction equipment, and human activities.

Preparation date: September 30, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORCO BLUFFS BANKS STABILIZATION MEASURES, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36387176; 6085 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a bank stabilization program along the Santa Ana River in the city of Norco, California, is proposed. The project area is located 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles and eight miles upstream from the Prado Dam in Riverside County. The Norco Bluffs banks, which extend one mile from just north of Temescal Avenue to just upstream of the Interstate 15 bridge, have undergone substantial erosion resulting in the collapse of sections of the bluff and the endangerment of 56 structures, roadways, and utilities along the bluff. The erosion has resulted in the condemnation and subsequent demolition of one home and the undermining and closure of a major residential access street. Annual damages related to slope failure are $649,500. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the locally preferred alternative, slope stabilization methods would be used in addition to toe protection, which would involve the construction of rock or concrete structures placed between the toe of the slopes and the river channel. This hardened material would then protect the softer bluff material. This alternative would involve the construction of toe protection using soil cement, then addition of buttressed fill on a 1.5:1 slope up to the top of the bluffs. Approximately 147,000 cubic meters of fill material would be used in the project; the fill material would come from the Prado Basin, a local quarry, or from the adjacent Santa Ana River bed. The slope would then be vegetated with native plant species. Completion time for the project is nine to ten months. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the protection of the toe from further erosion and would thus prevent further undermining of the toe and further economic losses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Potential sedimentation and turbidity associated with dewatering during construction of the toe protection structure could result in significant water quality impacts. Adverse impacts associated with changes in hydraulic characteristics of the river caused by borrowing activities could also be significant. Up to 6.5 hectares of cottonwood-willow riparian forest and a small freshwater marsh would be lost with implementation of this alternative. Construction activity would adversely affect air quality and local transportation.

AN - 36403564; 6082 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport serving the metropolitan area of Saint Louis, Missouri, is proposed. The existing airport is severely constrained and projected to be unable to meet levels of demand in the next five to seven years. The airport currently serves as a hub for TWA and would like to expand to serve as a hub for other air carriers. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative X-1), are considered in this draft EIS. The Saint Louis Airport Authority's preferred alternative (Alternative W-1W) would involve the construction of a 9,000-foot runway approximately 2,500 southwest of the airport's current boundary lines and 4,100 feet from existing runway 12L/3OR. The project would also involve the construction of related taxiways, the installation of lighting and navigational aids, grading and drainage improvements, utility relocations, the implementation of air traffic control procedures below 3,000 feet, the renovation and expansion of existing terminal facilities and associated aprons, the relocation of airline support facilities, and the installation of a precision runway monitor. The project would require the relocation of several roadways, including the Natural Bridge Road, Fee Fee Road, Cypress Road, Gist Road, Lambert International Boulevard, Missouri Bottom Road, and McDonnell Boulevard. The realignment of Lindbergh Boulevard would require the construction of a roadway tunnel for those portions of the roadway impacted by the construction of the new runway and the optional future extension of existing Runway 12R/30L. Estimated program costs for the proposed expansion are $2.23 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The capacity enhancements would preserve the Saint Louis Airport's ability to provide good air service and economic benefits to the region as a major connecting hub, which is integral to the air service the airport provides the region. The preferred alternative would generate 4,000 jobs and $120 million of value added by the year 2015. Its benefit-cost ratio is 2.2. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 1,925 residences, primarily in the city of Bridgton, and adversely affect three park and recreation areas. Construction activity and new runway operations would contaminate the water quality of Coldwater Creek. Air traffic control would place aircraft at lower altitudes over the Missouri River floodplain, potentially disrupting bird feeding and nesting activities. Planned construction would displace 9.7 acres of wetlands and encroach on 35 acres of floodplain. Approximately 820 persons would experience a significant increase noise levels as a result of aircraft operations.

AN - 36408829; 6078 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately eight-mile section of Pennsylvania Route 26 (SR 26) from the interchange with US 322 (Mount Nittany Expressway) northeast of State College to the Bellefonte Bypass in Pleasant Gap, located in Centre County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. The connection at the bypass would allow through traffic to avoid the community of Pleasant Gap and connect directly to Interstate 80. SR 26 is currently plagued by safety and congestion problems, complicated by a mix of regional and local traffic and truck and auto traffic. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under each of the four build alternatives, the facility would include two interchanges with the Penn State Research Park and a diamond or trumpet interchange with Shiloh Road, in addition to high-speed flyover ramp interchanges at the termini and an optional interchange at Harrison Road. Under each of the build alternatives, the project would involve the construction of a four-lane, limited-access highway on a new alignment. North of the Rockview Correctional Institution, the facility under the build alternatives would share a common alignment to the Bellefonte Bypass. The alignments would differ significantly in the southern portion of the project in an effort to minimize adverse impacts to the Big Hollow and Spring Creek natural areas. Under the preferred alternative (the Yellow-Green Option 1 Alternative), the facility would extend eastward from the interchange at the Penn State Research Park and cross Big Hollow Road, then extend southward across Spring Creek. From the stream crossing, it would turn eastward, enter Rockview Land, and intersect with Shiloh Road. The estimated construction cost of the project is $151.0 million. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to SR 26 would provide greater roadway capacity, reduce delays and potential accidents, and enhance regional service and economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of four residences, 13.1 acres of forest land, 380.8 acres of vegetation, and 249.3 acres of prime farmland. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would encroach on the Rockview historic district and adversely affect three other historic properties. Six receptors would experience noise levels requiring abatement consideration.

AN - 36413538; 6070 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a water treatment and transmission facility to withdraw existing State of Nevada allocation of Colorado River water from Lake Mead, treat it, and convey it to the Las Vegas Valley, located within Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The valley is dependent on a single water treatment and delivery facility for 85 percent of its water, and the capacity of the existing facilities to deliver Colorado River water will be insufficient to meet projected water demands by 1997. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. An in-valley transmission system to convey water from the proposed treatment facilities to various delivery locations would be developed under all of the alternatives. This water transmission system would consist of transmission pipelines, pumping stations, and reservoirs. The new facilities would comprise a raw water intake, a water treatment facility, and transmission facilities including belowground pipelines, tunnels, and aboveground booster pumping stations. The action alternatives would comprise these elements in various combinations. The preferred alternative (Alternative SI-1C) would consist of an intake in Lake Mead at Saddle Island, an intake pumping station on Saddle Island, use of the existing River Mountains tunnel, a water treatment facility on the western slope of the River Mountains, water transmission pipelines, two booster pumping stations, and power transmission lines. Federal actions would be the issuance of permits, rights-of-way, and modification of the existing water delivery and service contracts. These actions would allow the Southern Nevada Water Authority to construct new facilities on Federal lands adjacent to Lake Mead, withdraw existing State of Nevada allocation of Colorado River water from Lake Mead, and convey it to the valley. Alternative SI-5 is marginally designated as the environmentally preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would develop a reliable and demand-responsive municipal water system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of a new intake facility would adversely alter the public viewshed within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the city of Henderson. During construction, emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter would exceed pollutant threshold levels. Topography would be altered from excavation and grading activities. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 1,200 acres of desert tortoise habitat would be adversely affected by construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Water Resources Development Act of 1988.

AN - 36413498; 6069 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of shoreline protection and restoration activities on Absecon Island, from Brigantine Inlet to Egg Harbor Inlet, located in New Jersey, is proposed. Significant beach and dune erosion has left this eight-mile stretch of beach vulnerable to storm damages and less able to support recreational opportunities. Severe storms in recent years have caused a reduction in the overall beach height and width along the study area, which, along with the absence of suitable dunes, exposes the island's communities of Atlantic City, Longport, Ventnor, and Margate to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Various structural and non-structural alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would involve beach nourishment using sand obtained from three offshore borrow areas. Beach nourishment would consist of berm and dune restoration along the ocean frontage of Absecon Island. The project would require approximately 6.2 million cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial beachfill placement with 1.66 million cy for periodic renourishments every three years over a 50-year project life. The newly restored dunes would be planted with 91 acres of dune grass. The dunes would also contain 63,675 linear feet of sand fence, as well as pedestrian and vehicular access ramps. Two timber sheet-pile bulkheads with pile anchors and tiebacks would be constructed along the Absecon Inlet frontage. The anchored bulkheads would tie in to the existing bulkhead located along Maine Avenue. A revetment of three- to five-ton rough quarrystone would be constructed on the seaward side of the bulkhead. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would preserve the commercial viability of Atlantic City and nearby beach communities as tourist destinations, and reduce the potential for severe storm damage to the structures and property associated with the communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. Dredging would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. Dredging would result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities in the borrow area, and the consequent displacement of a finfish food source.

Preparation date: September 23, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 21 FREEWAY EXTENSION PROJECT FROM MONROE STREET IN PASSAIC TO ROUTE 46 IN CLIFTON, PASSAIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. AN - 36408405; 6061 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1.8-mile-long section of highway from Monroe Street in Passaic to Route 46 in Clifton, New Jersey, is proposed. The project would complete the Route 21 Freeway and relieve congestion on area roads. Route 21 currently consists of a nine-mile highway between Newark and Passaic. In the early 1970s, construction was halted before the highway had reached its logical terminus because local municipalities requested that additional studies of alternative alignments be conducted. Because construction was halted, Route 21 currently terminates in Passaic, and traffic is diverted onto local roads that traverse residential and commercial areas. The highway would begin where Route 21 ends in Passaic (near Hope Avenue) and continue in a northeasterly direction, passing over Monroe Street and Dayton Avenue. Beyond Dayton Avenue, the highway would cross over the Dundee Canal and proceed in a northwesterly direction, passing east of the Botany Mills Complex. The highway would then skirt the canal and pass over Ackerman Avenue. Past Ackerman Avenue, it would run parallel to Dundee Lake and merge with Route 46. The highway would be constructed along one of four alignments under consideration. These alternative alignments are referred to as Alternative 1, Shift A, Shift B, and Shift AB. Under the latter three alternatives, part of the alignment would be constructed on the peninsula between Dundee Canal and the Passaic River. This would reduce impacts to the canal, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and is an aquatic habitat. Alternative 1 has been selected as the preferred alternative because it would have the least overall socioeconomic and environmental impact; however, some portions of the alignment would be located directly over Dundee Canal. Also under consideration are three schemes for the Route 46 /Lexington Avenue interchange in Clifton. The estimated construction costs for Alternative 1 are $59.9 million ($62.4 million if retaining walls were constructed). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion in the immediate area by 25 to 50 percent and improve regional traffic flow. Extending Route 21 to Route 46 would complete regional linkups among Routes 21, 22, 78, 280, 3, 46, and 80, and the Garden State Parkway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some 61 families and nine businesses would be relocated under the preferred alternative. In addition, 0.5 acres of the Passaic River and 8.9 acres of the Dundee Canal would be filled. Approximately 0.02 acres of wetlands would be taken. Noise levels at 63 sensitive locations would increase; with noise barriers, these impacts could be reduced by 50 percent. Up to seven historic architectural sites and five archaeological sites eligible for listing in the National Register would be adversely affected.

AN - 36400198; 6058 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term plan for channel maintenance for the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal system and bay channels, which provide a continuous sea-level channel connecting the Port of Baltimore to the northern ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia, and the northern trade routes, is proposed. This final EIS and feasibility report considers bend widenings, creation of anchorages, deepening of turning basin areas, dredged material disposal, and traffic management improvements in order to better accommodate present and future shipping traffic. The existing federal project for the canal, authorized in 1954, provides for a 44-mile-long, 35-foot-deep, 450-foot-wide channel from the Delaware River to deep water in the Chesapeake Bay off Pooles Island. The Baltimore Harbor connecting channels, authorized in 1958, have a total length of 13 miles and authorized depths of 35 feet and widths of 600 feet. Under the recommended plan of improvement, the channel would be deepened to 40 feet mean low water (MLW), with an allowable overdepth of one foot and widths of 450 and 600 feet. The project would also involve enlargement of the Reedy Point flare, bend widening at Sandy Point, construction of an emergency anchorage at Howell Point, and navigation aids. The project would generate 18 million cubic yards of dredged material for disposal. The disposal plan would involve use of existing federal upland sites, a state-owned containment site, and one open water site. Dredging would not take place during those times of the year critical to the life cycle of striped bass and other sensitive species. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The channel deepening would enable Baltimore Harbor to accommodate the larger vessels now found in the world fleet. The improvements would help the port maintain its competitive position in the national and world marketplace. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms would be killed during dredging. Concerns have been raised about the effects of dredging and overboard disposal in areas north of Pooles Island, prime spawning habitat for striped bass and other commercially important fish species. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal sites.

AN - 36413450; 6054 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately eight-mile section of US 22 from the west of the Strodes Mills area to US 322 near Lewistown, in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. US 22 is a multi-use highway serving regional and local traffic; a mix of commercial, recreational, and commuter motorists use the highway for east-west travel and access to north-south corridors such as US 322. An increase in traffic congestion along the US 22 corridor, particularly the two-lane portion in the borough of Lewistown, sparked public interest in finding a solution and led to the initiation of this project. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of March 1995. Under the Blue Alternative, the project would involve widening US 22 to five lanes from Strodes Mills to downtown Lewistown. Under the Blue-Green Alternative (the preferred alternative), the project would involve widening the existing roadway from Wakefield Road east to Airport Hill Road, while constructing a new four-lane facility from Airport Hill Road to the Electric Avenue interchange. Full interchanges would be provided at Industrial Drive and Electric Avenue. The section of US 22 from the Industrial Park to Wakefield Road would receive minor improvements in conjunction with other improvements, including the addition of a center turn lane, shoulder improvements, and possible intersection reconfiguration and bridge replacement in Strodes Mills. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion on US 22 through Lewistown especially in the West Fourth Street area, improve the connection between US 22 west of Lewistown and the Burnham area to the north, reduce the number of congestion-related accidents, and accommodate traffic volumes expected to accompany future development. Under the preferred alternative, the project would avoid some of the negative impacts of the project under the separate Blue Alternative and Green Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the project would minimize the effects of a new alignment on natural resources west of Airport Hill Road and also minimizes the effects of road widening on the Lewistown historic district. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the Blue-Green Alternative, the project would displace 11.8 acres of farmland and 196.8 acres of forest land. It would also result in the relocation of 23 residences and two churches. Road construction would cause temporary erosion and sedimentation during replacement of Strodes Run Bridge.

Preparation date: September 13, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF FORT ORD, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1993). AN - 36412012; 6051 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of excess property made available by the closure of Fort Ord, with the retention of the U.S. Army Reserve Center and establishment of a Presidio of Monterey (POM) annex at Fort Ord, in northern Monterey County, California, is proposed. Fort Ord is an Army installation occupying approximately 28,000 acres adjacent to Monterey Bay approximately 100 miles south of the city of San Francisco. Under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission's 1991 recommendation, the installation would be closed and the 7th Infantry Division (Light) (IDL) would be relocated to Fort Lewis, Washington. Approximately 97 percent of the installation (27,000 acres) would be available for disposal. There is no time limit for the disposal of excess Fort Ord land. As the 7th IDL realigns from Fort Ord, the Army would assign structures, utilities, and operation and maintenance systems caretaker status until property disposal decisions were implemented. If environmental restoration of certain contaminated sites were not accelerated, the Army could retain caretaker status for segments of the lands remaining outside the POM annex and reserve center until restoration was complete. The proposed action would include the establishment of an approximately 800-acre POM annex in order to provide operations support to the military services remaining in the Monterey area. The size of the annex has been scaled down approximately 25 acres from the 1,400 acres described in the final EIS of June 1993, a response to the Army's plans to train fewer students at the Defense Language Institute. This final supplement considers three additional reuse plans that reflect this new reduction in scale. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The sale of the excess land to private interests would add the land to the state and local tax base. Economic activity would increase as a result of hazardous and toxic waste remediation actions, unexploded ordnance disposal, and infrastructure modifications. The three new reuse alternatives considered in this final supplement would support 38,800 to 58,500 jobs, in contrast to the 60,000 projected in the Record of Decision. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The disposal and reuse actions would adversely affect threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species and habitat, soil resources, historic structures, the infrastructure (from reduced maintenance and the need for expansion), public health (from reduced security), Monterey Bay communities' social and economic conditions, visual resources, and air quality. In addition, development would adversely affect floodplains, increase runoff to surface waters, expose additional people and property to a seismically active area, eliminate a large tract of open space, and create substantial congestion on Fort Ord roadways. The disposal of large areas of land could temporarily saturate some segments of the local real estate market and reduce sales prices, cause the loss to local schools of land currently leased from the Army, increase the demand for some municipal services, and result in the loss of federal protection for biological and cultural resources.

Preparation date: September 11, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 168--BATTLEFIELD BOULEVARD SOUTH, CHESAPEAKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36408657; 6044 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a widened Route 168--Battlefield Boulevard from the Great Bridge Bypass to the Virginia/North Carolina state line, located in Chesapeake County in southeastern Virginia, is proposed. Within the study corridor, Route 168--Battlefield Boulevard is currently a two-lane, non-limited access roadway. Existing traffic conditions are at unacceptable levels of service due to traffic volumes that exceed the design capacity and are projected to further deteriorate. By the year 2015, traffic volumes are expected to increase a minimum of 250 percent over existing volumes. Route 168 provides local access and service to property and facilities within the study area. In addition, it is the primary north-south access facility, linking Hampton Roads and points north and west with the coastal recreational and resort areas on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Safety is a problem on Route 168, where there have been 15 fatal accidents since 1979. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS of September 1995 include a No-Build Alternative, a mass transportation, a transportation system management alternative, a ridesharing alternative, a truck restrictions alternative, a rail service alternative, and three build alternatives involving various alignment options. The preferred alternative (Build Alternative 1) would involve constructing a four-lane, limited-access expressway on new location. The new facility would include grade-separated interchanges with Hanbury Road and Benson Lane, existing Route 168 south of Centerville Turnpike, and Pleasant Grove Parkway. The estimated cost for rights-of-way acquisition, construction, and wetlands mitigation is $84.9 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the action alternatives, traffic congestion would be relieved, and safety would be enhanced. Travel times would be reduced, resulting in reductions in energy consumption and auto exhaust emissions. Under the build alternatives, one-hour carbon monoxide concentrations would drop from 5.0 parts per million (ppm) under the No-Build Alternative to 3.7 ppm; eight-hour concentrations would drop from 7.3 to 6.8 ppm. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The displacement of 27 residential properties, three commercial properties, and a possible governmental property would occur under the preferred alternative. Other properties that would adversely affected include one school, a structure of architectural significance, and three archaeological sites. Noise impacts would substantially increase at up to 28 monitoring locations. Stream crossings would be required at nine locations, and 37 acres of wetlands would be disturbed. In addition, some 198 acres of agricultural cropland, and 23 acres of forested land would be adversely affected. Each build alternative could adversely affect the Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew, a federally listed threatened species. The aquatic ecology would be adversely affected as a result of roadway construction, maintenance, and use.
