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.

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.

AN - 36408251; 6039 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the continued use by the AMAX Coal Company of the Illinois Number 6 and Number 7 coal mines within the existing Delta Mine Complex, located in southeastern Illinois, is proposed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of February 1996. The proposed action would allow the continued mining of coal in a manner that ensures the long-term economic integrity of Delta Mine. The mining process would entail the removal of topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock (i.e, the overburden), in that sequence, and then mining the number 6 and number 7 coal. A grading and soil placement scheme, as a component of the reclamation plan, would be included in order offset potential adverse impacts. Backfilling, grading, soil replacement, and revegetation on land disturbed by surface mining activities would be concurrent with mining operations as the operations progress through the West Harrisburg Field. Implementation of these reclamation measures would minimize potential impacts to the existing topography and soils of the West Harrisburg Field. The other action alternative would be trench mining at the West Harrisburg Field. If this method were employed at the West Harrisburg Field, the trenches would be excavated in a north-south orientation. The trenches would be about 120 feet wide and placed about 1,600 feet apart. Because of conditions at the West Harrisburg Field, it is anticipated that the highwall miner would only penetrate the highwalls of the trenches to a depth of about 700 feet. No roof bolting would be used. Rather, support pillars of coal would be left in place, so that the roof would be supported as the operation proceeds to the next trench cut. 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: Mining coal in the West Harrisburg Field would provide Delta Mine with an opportunity for weathering the temporarily depressed coal market conditions long enough to secure the mine's position for extended future operations. Development of the West Harrisburg Field would allow Delta Mine to meet its current and future contractual obligation to provide suitable coal for consumption by electrical utilities. The minable coal reserves in Delta Mine's Harco Field, which are currently being mined, will be exhausted in 1996. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of 887 acres of cropland and 535 acres of palustrine wetlands, reducing habitat for the marsh rice rat. The geology would be disturbed as the result of breaking up rock strata during the stripping process. These materials would be placed in the prior box cut as the mining process progressed, but in reverse order as removed. These changes would result in a greater permeability affecting groundwater patterns during the mining of the area.

Preparation date: September 3, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The anatomy and physiology of a Gulf Coast delta AN - 52797158; 1996-073584 AB - Deltas are often perceived as final resting sites of the majority of sediments carried into these systems. As such, most deltas are believed to possess significant sediment trap efficiencies. In the northern Gulf of Mexico basin large delta complexes are few. From Texas, eastward to the Florida Keys, only three major deltas are present. These include the delta of the Mississippi River, that of the Mobile River, and the Apalachicola River delta. The latter, because of numerous dams upstream, has been seriously affected by man and therefore is less than ideal for the study of deltaic processes; the Mississippi Delta, similarly, has been markedly affected by any flood control projects whose effect must be estimated when attempting to interpret processes now taking place in this system. The Mobile River delta, in contrast has escaped major anthropogenic effects and enjoys a number of features that are apparently unique among large North American delta complexes. The Mobile River delta serves as the terminus for the Nation's fourth largest river system, in terms of annual discharge, and is exceeded only by the Mississippi, Columbia, and Yukon. Unlike the others, however, the distributary river system discharging from this delta does not empty into an ocean, but rather flows into estuary having a restricted opening to the Gulf of Mexico (Mobile Bay). Accurate measurements have been made of the quantities and types of sediment that enter this delta, are trapped by the delta, and which pass through the delta. Some 33 percent of the total sediment entering the delta complex becomes trapped, with the remainder passing through to Mobile Bay. The bay, in turn, traps an additional 52 percent. Thus, only 16 percent of the original sediment load is discharged to the Gulf of Mexico. The trap efficiency, and composition of the delta sediments, have important consequences with respect to contaminants derived from upstream municipal and industrial sources. The plus side is that Alabama's largest wetland region has been minimally effected by these contaminants because they largely pass completely through the delta; the bad news is that the sediments of Mobile Bay therefore receive the bulk of this load and have borne the major impact.

Processes potentially affecting the fate and transport of TNT in soils and groundwater include biotic and abiotic transformation, sorption, advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, dissolution, diffusion, and facilitated transport by organic and inorganic colloids (McGrath 1995). TNT breakthrough curves may provide indications of the type of processes occurring. The transformation rate of TNT is of particular interest in determining the long-term risk associated with TNT contamination in a soil.

These vehicles must be cleaned before they can be returned to the motor pool area of an Army base. The cleaning of these vehicles bas posed a problem with the operation and maintenance of oil/water separators located at vehicle washrack facilities. An oily sludge forms in the oil/water separator and is hard to handle and cannot be disposed of in an ordinary manner. This study used solidification/stabilization to treat the oily sludge found in the vehicle washrack oil/water separators. Solidification/stabilization is usually used to treat soils and sludges that contain heavy metals. Organic compounds, such as petroleum hydrocarbons found in the sludge, interfere with the setting of the solidification binding materials and thus produce a material that is not desirable for a treatment alternative. This study incorporates the use of dicalcium silicate as an additive to the solidification process to increase the strength and reduce the leachability of the petroleum hydrocarbons found in the sludge.

As part of the project review process, the impact of the proposed project on the environment must be evaluated. Information about the environmental value of riparian vegetation is difficult to access, because it is diffuse in the literature. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to review the literature for information pertinent to assessing the environmental value of riparian vegetation. SUMMARY: Vegetation contributes greatly to the hydraulic, hydrologic, water quality, and life support functions commonly performed in riparian corridors. The resistance to flow by vegetation reduces flow velocity and the energy of flowing water that erodes shorelines and carries suspended sediments. Bank materials are bound and supported by roots. Vegetated watersheds help to stabilize baseflow rates by increasing infiltration and permeability of soils. The result is that vegetation helps to stabilize stream morphology and hydrology and attenuate floods. In addition, suspended solids and dissolved chemicals and nutrients in river water are reduced proportionately with residence time in vegetated floodplain. Riparian vegetation provides food, refuge, and nesting areas for a diverse array of terrestrial and aquatic fauna. Losses of riparian vegetation can lead, therefore, to a destabilization of stream morphology, alteration of hydrology, degraded water quality, and reductions in many types of fish and wildlife.

Contaminated areas that are constantly flooded, such as the deeper ponded areas, do not allow natural drying of the soil and subsequent sublimation of the residual white phosphorus (WP) particles. Some of these permanently flooded areas are interconnected over large areas and would be impractical to address through pond draining. These areas, which are generally vegetated and heavily used by affected dabbling ducks and swans, have been found to be contaminated even after five years in which no WP rounds have been fired into the Flats. Although some areas of the Flats have shown evidence of natural remediation due to drying cycles, the ponded areas still pose a substantial risk to waterfowl.

AN - 36403290; 6033 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an international wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and associated outfall facilities is proposed in order to treat flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River and its tributaries near the California-Mexico line. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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. Construction of the IWTP and associated conveyance and outfall pipelines would begin in 1994 and would continue into 1998. Construction costs of the ITWP are estimated at $142 million; construction costs for the ocean outfall are estimated at $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 evaluates the effects of discharging advanced primary effluent through the ocean outlet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the region would benefit ecologically, economically, recreationally, and public health- wise. 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. 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: Construction of the ITWP would displace 5 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. Noise from construction could also adversely affect the coastal California gnatcatcher.

AN - 36411855; 6027 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 10 miles of West Virginia Route 9 (WV 9) from Martinsburg to Charles Town, 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 southern end of the project would join the recently completed Charles Town Bypass, and the northern end also ties into a four-lane, controlled access highway. By bringing the Charles Town Bypass--Martinsburg portion of WV 9 up to the standards of the two adjoining segments, free flowing travel along this north-south highway would be improved. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would follow the general alignment of existing WV 9 with bypasses on new right-of-way in the vicinity of Kearneysville and the Veterans Administration Hospital in Baker Heights. Alternative 2 would follow the alignment of existing WV 9 except for a relocation at Bardane. Alternative 3 would generally run to the east of existing WV 9 on a parallel alignment. Each build alternative would involve the construction of diamond interchanges at Currie Road, Wiltshire Road, Route 1, Vanmeter Road, and Opequon Lane. 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: Under the proposed build alternatives, the facility would displace up to 303 residences, 18 businesses, 1 church, and 2 cemeteries; fill 0.68 acres of wetlands and 400 feet of floodplains; and adversely affect approximately 177 acres of farmland.

Preparation date: August 27, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION LABORATORY, IRVINE, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36408220; 6036 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 140,000 square-foot Food and Drug Administration (FDA) facility on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI), in the city of Irvine, California, is proposed. The UCI campus is located approximately 40 air miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The facility would consolidate existing facilities: an FDA laboratory in downtown Los Angeles, including the California State Department of Health Food and Drug Section; complementary functions from the FDA San Francisco laboratory; and the FDA Irvine office. The laboratory would be multifunctional with respect to FDA activities, including administrative functions, such as investigation and compliance activities, and laboratory testing and analytical services. The facility would have a food chemistry branch, drug chemistry branch, pesticides branch, microbiology branch, and biochemistry section for its testing and analytical services. Portions or functions of the laboratory could be used, in cooperation with UCI, for educational purposes. The facility would employ approximately 230 persons to provide administrative functions, including industry outreach and partnering, investigation, compliance, and public affairs activities; and laboratory testing and analytical services in the areas of food and drug chemistry, pesticides, microbiology, and biochemistry. Issues of concern include building design, parking, landscaping, utilities, security, site preparation, activities to be performed when in operation, and the cumulative impacts of other future development projects within surrounding cities. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1996. Under the proposed alternative, the 140,000 square-foot, two-story facility would be constructed on a 10-acre site that would be purchased from the University of California. The site is located in the southern portion of the 118-acre North Campus area, which is physically separated from the rest of the campus by the San Joaquin Freshwater Marsh Reserve, San Diego Creek, and University Drive. The site fronts on Fairchild Road, east of MacArthur Boulevard and south of Jamboree Road. The other alternatives under consideration include alternative site configurations with the construction of a building three or more stories tall and an alternative site on the northeast corner of Barrance Parkway and Laguna Canyon Road in Irvine. 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 consolidation of FDA offices would improve efficiency, reduce costs, and make it possible for the FDA to meet the requirements of conducting regulatory science into the 21st century. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect archeological site CA-ORA-116, a small prehistoric campsite or seasonally occupied village overlooking the San Joaquin Marsh that is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Excavation could adversely affect paleontological resources. Ten acres of open space and non-native grassland habitat would be lost, which also could result in reduced wildlife access to the Marsh Reserve area. Exotic plant species could be introduced into the reserve, displacing native species. Altered surface runoff conditions could adversely affect water quality in the San Diego Creek and the Marsh Reserve, and the quantity of water delivered to the reserve.

AN - 36399870; 6019 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the harbor operation and maintenance plan for the Savannah Harbor, which comprises the lower 21.3 miles of the Savannah River in Chatham County, Georgia, and Jasper County, South Carolina, is proposed. At present, a 42-foot-deep navigation channel is maintained from the mouth of the Savannah River to Kings Island Turning Basin. However, recent actions taken in the harbor, including the widening of the ship channel near City Front and the discontinued operation of the Tidegate, have modified the hydrodynamics of the harbor and could affect its ability to serve the needs of deep-draft commercial navigation. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 8), the project would involve the maintenance of the existing channel as well as the dredging of berthing areas during channel maintenance and advance maintenance deepening of turning basins. Confined disposal facilities located in the middle of the harbor would be used on a rotating basis for the disposal of dredged materials. In addition, dikes would be constructed around disposal area 14A, an access road would be constructed to disposal area 2A in order to allow deposited sediments to be transported by truck, dredged sediments would be placed on eroded portions of Tybee and Daufuskie islands, submerged berms would be constructed in the nearshore areas along the south side of the Bar Channel, and a mitigation plan would implemented in order to restore wetlands lost at Disposal Area 14A. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region without increasing the amount of dredged material requiring disposal. Under the preferred alternative, the project would result in the most efficient use of the harbor while avoiding any adverse impacts on threatened or endangered species, salinity, or water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The excavation of berthing and turning areas would destroy benthic organisms. Minor temporary losses of wetlands would occur as weirs are replaced and new discharge pipes are installed near disposal areas.

AN - 36413424; 6017 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of shoreline protection and restoration activities for the Delaware Coast from Cape Henlopen to Fenwick Island, including Dewey and Rehoboth Beaches, in Sussex County, Delaware, is proposed. Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach 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 Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan would involve beach nourishment using sand obtained from a 1,120-acre offshore borrow source on Hen and Chickens Shoal. Beach nourishment would consist of berm and dune restoration. This plan would require placement of approximately 1.43 million cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial construction with 360,000 cy anticipated for periodic re-nourishments every three years over the next 50 years of project life. The plan includes placing fill along approximately 13,500 linear feet (lf) of beach. The project would taper into the existing shoreline, in the north end at Deauville Beach and in the south end at North Indian/Indian Beach. The dune is proposed to be planted with dune grass, and would also contain 16,400 lf of sand fence, delineated walkovers, and vehicle access ramps. Beach nourishment operations would impact approximately 136 acres below mean high water, which includes approximately 11 acres of marine intertidal habitat. The estimated initial cost of the project is $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would preserve the commercial viability of Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach 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 - 36408622; 6018 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), are considered in this final EIS. 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would offer recreation utilization of public lands. 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).

Preparation date: August 19, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TEXASGULF, INC., MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36401255; 6014 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the surface mining (open-pit) operations by Texasgulf, Inc., near the town of Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina, is proposed. The 14,200-acre project area is located on the north shore of the Pamlico River six miles north of Aurora. Since 1965, Texasgulf has operated phosphate mining and processing facilities in the area; through 1991, some 4,249 acres have been mined, and of this amount, some 716 acres have been reclaimed. The expansion would involve developing a new open-pit phosphate mine on a tract located in Richland township. The mine would produce approximately 109 million tons of phosphate concentrate at the mill over a 20-year period. Six alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the mine would be located on a 4,516-acre tract of land in the eastern portion of the project area, excluding all natural tributaries to the landward extent of Coastal Area Management Act jurisdictional areas. The removal of the first stage of overburden would be accomplished under one of two operational alternatives, either by hydraulic dredge or by bucket wheel excavator. In the second stage of overburden removal, the phosphate ore would be exposed by dragline. It would then be extracted by dragline and transferred into a sump, where high pressure water guns would be used to form a slurry. The slurry would then be transferred to the mill where the phosphate would be sized and washed and treated with froth flotation. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative E-2), first presented in a draft supplement to the draft EIS of January 1994, impacts on wetlands would be minimized while the economics of mining the area would be improved. Under this alternative, Texasgulf would mine 4,903 acres, comprised of two tracts: in the first ten years of the project, the tract in the eastern portion of the project area would be mined, followed by a tract in the non-jurisdictional area to the south during the second ten years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mine expansion would permit the applicant to continue mining its phosphate reserve in an economically viable fashion, and ensure a continued supply of the element phosphorous, which is used in fertilizer, animal feed supplements, and other products. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would displace 99 acres of agricultural land and 3,069 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, including 190 acres of special concern. A total of 995 acres of relatively undisturbed biotic communities would be adversely affected under the proposed action. Additional adverse impacts would include temporary drainage area reductions, loss of wildlife resources, loss of soil and mineral resources, short-term degradation of water quality, and the disturbance of a historic site. State Highway 306 would be relocated within the project area, and north-south portions of the Norfolk Southern Railroad would be rerouted. Under Alternative E-2, some 1,268 acres of wetlands, including 10 acres of wetlands of special concern, would be displaced.

Preparation date: August 16, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LITTLE ROCK MINE PROJECT, GRANT COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 36411914; 6038 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by the Phelps Dodge Mining Company of an open-pit copper mine in Grant County, 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 proposed 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 draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would involve the construction, operation, and reclamation of the proposed 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 Deadman Canyon 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 proposed 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 - 36387036; 6015 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam across Contentnea Creek approximately 700 feet downstream of the existing Buckhorn Reservoir in Wilson County, North Carolina, is proposed. The dam and reservoir are located in the western portion of the county, roughly 12 miles west of the city of Wilson. Two alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The No Action Alternative was eliminated from consideration because it fails to meet the City of Wilson's purpose and need. Under the proposed action, the dam would increase the surface area of the reservoir from 740 to 2,303 acres, thereby alleviating the existing water shortage and satisfying the projected water needs of the region through the end of the 50-year planning period. The land acquisition for the reservoir would be 3,988 acres, of which 1,469 acres are already owned by the city. The current reservoir is capable of supplying up to seven million gallons per day (mgd), which is one mgd less than current consumption levels. The expanded reservoir would have a 50-year safe yield of 29.0 mgd after adjustment for siltation, evaporation, reserve storage, and downstream releases. The Wiggins Mill Reservoir would continue to serve as the terminal reservoir from which raw water is pumped to the region's water treatment plant. Water stored in the expanded Buckhorn Reservoir would be released from the reservoir and travel downstream in Contentnea Creek to the pump intake at Wiggins Mills. The dam would be a roller-compacted concrete dam with an ungated, stepped concrete spillway; it would be approximately 31 feet above the streambed to the spillway crest and 45 feet high from the streambed to the top of the dam crest. The estimated construction costs of the project are $27.1 million. In addition to the proposed action, the construction of a dam on a location four miles downstream of the existing dam is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a reliable, long-term, high-quality water supply to serve the city of Wilson and surrounding communities for a number of years. The expanded water supply would support additional residential, commercial, and industrial growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expansion of the reservoir would require the taking of five private residences and five other buildings (private barns and sheds). Portions of six roads would require abandonment, raising, or other reconstruction. Approximately 1,577 acres would be cleared, inundated, or otherwise adversely affected by construction of project facilities. Adversely affected lands would include 948 acres of hardwood forest wetlands, 123 acres of upland hardwood forest, and 361 acres of other wetlands. Sedimentation and turbidity in Contentnea Creek would increase during construction. A federally listed endangered species, the dwarf wedge mussel, would be adversely affected by the inundation.

AN - 36403468; 6008 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve the existing water delivery capability of the State Water Project (SWP) within the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River watershed in northwestern California is proposed. The proposed action is designed to improve water levels and circulation in south Delta channels for local agricultural diversions, improve south Delta hydraulic conditions and to settle outstanding litigation filed by the South Delta Water Agency. The lawsuits charge that dams and water projects operated by the SWP and Central Valley Project diminish the flow of water in the Delta and makes it difficult to meet irrigation needs. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction and operation of a new intake structure at the SWP Clifton Court Forebay; channel dredging along 4.9 miles of Old River just north of Clifton Court Forebay; the construction and seasonal operation of a barrier at the head of Old River in spring and fall to improve fishery conditions for salmon migrating along the San Joaquin River; the construction and operation of three flow control structures at Old River, Middle River, and Grant Line Canal, to improve the existing water level and circulation patterns for agricultural users in the south Delta; and increased diversions into Clifton Court Forebay up to a maximum of 20,430 acre-feet (AF) per day on a monthly average basis, resulting in the ability to pump an average of 10,300 cubic feet per second at Banks Pumping Plant. These increased diversions would increase SWP annual average water deliveries by 46,000 AF per year under existing demand conditions and 122,000 AF per year under future demand conditions. The estimated costs of the project are $53.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve water levels and circulation in south Delta channels for local agricultural diversions and utilize the full pumping capacity at Banks Pumping Plant. Habitat conditions for fall-run chinook salmon in the San Joaquin River would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the loss of habitat from dredging the Old River and facility construction, negative flows in channels leading to the south Delta due to the operation of the barriers, and increased straying, predation, and entrainment losses from SWP pumping during the fall, winter, and early spring. The operation of the barriers could degrade water quality in the region by rerouting saline waters of the San Joaquin River away from the south Delta pumping plants and toward the central Delta.

Preparation date: August 14, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 17 NEW BERN BYPASS FROM JONES-CRAVEN COUNTY LINE TO SR 1438 NEAR VANCEBORO, CRAVEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1991). AN - 36386662; 6002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, controlled-access freeway to provide a bypass around the western city limits of the city of New Bern, North Carolina, is proposed. The adjacent municipalities of River Bend, Trent Woods, and Bridgeton would also be bypassed. The proposed New Bern Bypass, which would extend 12 to 16 miles, would be designated as a portion of US 17, while the bypassed section of US 17 would be designated as US 17 Business. Each of the build alternatives would consist of a four-lane, divided freeway with interchanges at critical crossroads. Alternative 1, Alternative 2, Alternative 4, and Alternative 5 would begin at the westernmost point on existing US 17 within the study area, southwest of New Bern, and proceed in a northeasterly direction forming the westernmost alternatives. Interchanges for these alternatives would be located at both termini with existing US 17, US 70, North Carolina (NC) 55, NC 43 (Alternative 2 and Alternative 5 only), and State Route (SR) 1400. Alternative 3 and Alternative 6 would begin at the same point as Alternative 1, Alternative 2, Alternative 4, and Alternative 5, but would take a more easterly course after crossing US 70. Interchanges would be provided at the US 17 termini, NC 55, and NC 43. Alternative 7 and Alternative 8 would begin at the easternmost point on existing US 17, southwest of New Bern, proceed in a northeasterly direction to US 70, and turn northward, following a route similar to those of Alternative 1, Alternative 2, Alternative 4, and Alternative 5. Interchanges would be provided at US 17 termini, US 70, NC 55, NC 43, and SR 1400. Alternative 9 would begin near the initial termini of Alternative 7 and Alternative 8, but would take a more easterly route similar to the northern sections of Alternative 3 and Alternative 6. Interchanges would be provided at US 17 termini, US 70, US 55, and NC 43. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of August 1991 presents three new alignment alternatives for consideration. The preferred alternative (Alternative 12) would extend 15.8 miles from the Jones-Craven county line to its northern terminus at existing US 17. The estimated cost of the project is $121.18 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative chosen, the traffic capacity provided would meet the needs of projected traffic levels through the year 2010. Through traffic would be removed from local traffic in New Bern, River Bend, Trent Woods, and Bridgeton, enhancing long-distance travel and easing congestion on municipal streets. The bypass would implement a portion of the thoroughfare plan for the New Bern-Bridgeton-Trent Woods Area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 24 residences, 2 businesses, a cemetery, and 178 acres of wetlands. The Tuscarora Game Land south of US 17 would be impacted by all alternatives, although impacts would have no effect on available deer hunting sites. One access site associated with the Neuse River would be removed by Alternative 1, Alternative 4, or Alternative 7. Access to bypassed communities would be restricted somewhat. A total of 28 archaeological sites are located within the corridors under consideration for construction, and 10 historic sites lie in close proximity to alternative corridors. Under the preferred alternative, approximately 600 acres of prime or statewide-important farmland soil would be converted to highway use. Two permitted mining operations and at least one hazardous materials sites could be encountered. Several alternatives would require relocation of 1,100 feet of Bear Branch, and three alternatives would encroach on a regulatory floodplain associated with Rocky Run Creek.

Preparation date: August 9, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RUBY HILL PROJECT, EUREKA COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36401091; 5996 AB - PURPOSE: The construction, operation, and reclamation by the Homestake Mining Company of an open-pit gold mine in Eureka County, Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located 0.7 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada in the historic Eureka Mining District, an area known for the production of lead, silver, and gold during the late 1800's. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. 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 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. Other facilities would include a crushing, grinding, and agglomeration facility; heap leaching facilities; and office buildings, parking lots, warehouses, and other ancillary facilities. 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, the West Waste Rock Dump Alternative, and the Partial Backfilling 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, 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.

Preparation date: August 8, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVEMENTS TO I-195, WASHINGTON BRIDGE TO I-95, PROVIDENCE, PROVIDENCE COUNTY, RHODE ISLAND. AN - 36401116; 6000 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 1.25-mile section of I-195 from the west end of Washington Bridge (which leads to East Providence) to I-95 in Providence, Rhode Island, is proposed. This section of the interstate, which carries up to 130,000 vehicles per day, was constructed in the late 1950s and suffers from several outdated highway design features that create difficult driving conditions and severe congestion. These features include deteriorated bridge structures, substandard roadway alignments with sharp curves, substandard shoulder widths, and poor operational conditions between the Wickendon Street and I-95 interchanges. Three alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The Reconstruction Alternative would involve making necessary improvements to the bridges and roadway without changing the alignment or access of the existing facility; this alternative is a surrogate for a No-Build Alternative, which is not feasible in this instance because of the deteriorated condition of the bridges. The North Alignment Alternative would involve constructing a facility parallel to and immediately north of the existing highway as it crosses the Providence River. This alternative would substantially improve the alignment of the interstate, providing smoother curvature, full shoulders, and improved ramp spacing. The facility would have four lanes in each direction, and the fourth lane could be used as a high-occupancy-vehicle lane. The alignment would tie into I-95 at the existing Hayward Park interchange. Some 8.6 acres of existing right-of-way would be vacated and made available for redevelopment or reuse. Old Harbor Plan elements, including improvements to pedestrian, bicycle, and water transportation facilities along the river, would be included. The Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative (the preferred alternative) would provide an entirely new alignment, locating the facility immediately south of the Providence River Hurricane Barrier. This alternative would also provide four lanes in each direction, but it would involve a new interchange with I-95, opposite the Rhode Island Hospital, and associated improvements to I-95 between Thurbers Avenue and Broad Street. The right-of-way of the existing I-195, consisting of approximately 45 acres, would be vacated and made available for public improvements and private development. India Point Park would be expanded and enhanced; water transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities along the river would be provided; and the adjacent Downtown and College Hill historic districts would also be enhanced. Total costs of the three alternatives are estimated to be $58.09 million, $169.87 million, and $299.55 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of either of the build alternatives would correct the structural deterioration, safety deficiencies, and inadequate capacity of I-195. The Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative would have a more dramatic effect on safety; under it, the expected number of accidents over a five-year period would be approximately 300 less than that under the North Alignment Alternative, and 500 less than that under the Reconstruction Alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The two build alternatives would require the relocation of the aerial electrical transmission lines along India Street; the lines would be relocated to new towers and remain aerial through India Point Park and across both the Providence and Seekonk rivers. The North Alignment Alternative would displace up to 2,900 square feet (sf) of parkland and five businesses, and would impact three historic districts; the Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative would displace four residences, 33 businesses, and three historic buildings. Both alternatives would require the removal of 5,500 sf of tidal mud flat marine habitat, adversely affecting benthic organisms. Although both alternatives would improve the overall safety of the roadway, the North Alignment Alternative would not improve the interchange with I-95, the substandard weaving areas on I-95, or access to Rhode Island Hospital, the area's largest employer.

AN - 36399752; 5993 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term wastewater project for the city of Santa Clara, California, is proposed. The improvements are mandated by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The area is presently served by the Laguna Wastewater Treatment Plant, which provides tertiary treatment to up 18 million gallons per day of wastewater collected from the cities of Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sebastopol, and from the South Park County Sanitation District. A distribution system carries reclaimed water from the Laguna Plant to be used for golf course watering, irrigation, and wetlands management. The system is supported by storage facilities that hold 1,500 million gallons of reclaimed water until it can be reused or discharged. Water that cannot be stored or reused is discharged to the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Santa Rosa Creek, which flows into the Russian River, approximately ten miles north of the Laguna Plant. Discharge is currently limited to one percent of Russian River flow, five percent during emergency conditions. Heavier-than-normal winter rains sometimes force the system to discharge at rates higher than allowable, leaving the system without a reliable, legally sanctioned option. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would use reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation in areas south and east of Santa Rosa. Alternative 3 would use reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation in areas south and west of the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Alternative 4 would provide for the transmission of reclaimed water to the Geysers, located in the Mayacamas Mountains northeast of Healdsburg, for injection and recharge of the Geysers steamfield, which is currently used as a source for geothermal energy. Alternative 5 would increase the allowable discharge rate to 20 percent of river flow. All of the action alternatives would involve expansion of the headworks pumps at the Laguna Plant. Ten potential storage reservoirs are included in the project alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: To varying degrees, the action alternatives respond to the increases in water use in the area, maximize recycling and reuse, optimize water resource conservation, and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The storage reservoirs and pump stations would result in a loss of farmland and some residences. Service charges for wastewater would probably increase as a result of the project. Pipeline construction would result in habitat losses for sensitive wildlife. Some potential for groundwater contamination would exist as a result of leakage from the reservoir, storage tanks, or pipeline.

AN - 36399694; 5992 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an international bridge on the U.S.-Mexico border is proposed. Under current regulations, bridge sponsors must submit an application for a Presidential permit to the Secretary of State, Border Coordinator, Office of Mexican Affairs. Currently, 10 international bridge proposals for construction are awaiting action; of these, six have received presidential permits and four still have pending permit applications. Bridge structures generally consist of reinforced concrete roadway over concrete girders supported by columns on concrete pilings. Bridge abutments generally include concrete riprap at headerbanks to slopes no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical. Facilities generally include toll plazas, water and sewer hookups, and structures for three federal agencies (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, U.S. Customs, and U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service). Existing facilities cover an average of 14 acres. Most crossings are arranged for traffic flow in both directions; however, some bridges maintain traffic one way only. The total area of a bridge, approach roads, and facilities can cover up to 500 acres. Under the proposed action, cumulative and indirect impacts of proposed bridges would be addressed by sponsors in the environmental impacts analysis accompanying the application. In addition, the applicant would consider alternative bridge designs based on environmental considerations. The biological recommendations issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service would be used as model criteria for the evaluation of bridge design, particularly in the environmentally sensitive area of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. A No Action Alternative, which would continue the existing permit system, is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This programmatic draft EIS would serve as a foundation document for the evaluation of specific proposals for new bridges crossing the Rio Grande River. Project applicants would be required to counteract the loss of habitat along the Rio Grande watershed. Additional bridge construction would expand economic growth opportunities on both sides of the border. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional bridge construction would result in the loss of prime farmland, potential loss of flood control, disturbance of riparian wildlife corridor, increased surface runoff and sediment deposition, and increased air emissions from construction equipment and vehicles.

AN - 36386615; 5985 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures within the Upper Yazoo Basin located on the eastern side of the Mississippi Delta along the main stem of the Yazoo-Tallahatchie-Coldwater River system from Yazoo City to Darling, Mississippi, is proposed. The study area encompasses 2,300 square miles of drainage, including portions of Carroll, Coahoma, Grenada, Leflore, Holmes, Humphreys, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tunica, and Yazoo counties. Flood problems in the Upper Yazoo Basin are significant. Damages total more than $18.6 million annually, including $3 million in urban damages. In addition, almost 700,000 acres of agricultural lands are subject to annual inundation. This second final supplement to the final EIS of December 1975 considers sediment removal and vegetative control on all or parts of the Big Sunflower River, Little Sunflower River, Dowling Bayou, Bogue Phalia, Big Sunflower Bendway, Holly Bluff Cutoff, and Bogue Phalia Cutoff from points downstream of Highway 82 to their confluence with the Yazoo River. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplement. Under the recommended plan (Alternative 3), the project would involve 28.3 miles of channel clearing and snagging and 104.8 miles of channel excavation. Approximately 8.42 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredge material would be removed from this portion of the Big Sunflower River Basin: 7.75 mcy by hydraulic dredge and 0.67 mcy by dragline. Generally, the dragline would be used where right-of-way currently exists, where channels are too shallow to float a dredge or a barge, or where numerous low clearance bridges make it inefficient to operate a hydraulic dredge. The estimated cost of the project is $62.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the risks of costly flooding would be substantially reduced on both urban and agricultural lands. The maintenance measures would lower current flow lines one to three feet, reducing headwater flooding damages to rural residences and agricultural properties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, approximately 2,830 acres of foraging habitat would be lost in the project area, a loss that would adversely affect wintering waterfowl. Mink and other wildlife would be adversely affected by the streambank clearing. Up to 350 acres of wetlands, 417 acres of bottomland hardwoods, and 323 acres of agricultural lands would be lost under the preferred alternative. Mussel communities would be displaced by dredging activities.

Radar-based data include rainfall depth on an hourly basis for grid cells that are nominally 4 km super(2). The availability of such data enables application of improved techniques for rainfall-runoff simulation. A simple quasi-distributed approach that applies a linear runoff transform to gridded rainfall excess has been developed. The approach is an adaptation of the Clark conceptual runoff model, which employs translation and linear storage. Data development for, and results of, an initial application to a 4,160 km super(2) watershed in the Midwestern U.S. are illustrated. JF - Technical Papers.

Tests were initiated with neonates ( less than or equal to 48 h old) and the effects of an altered food ration on survival and growth were examined after 10 and 49 days. Growth rates decreased significantly with reduced food ration (10 day growth rates ranged from 1.2 mu g d super(-1) in the highest feeding regime to 0.5 mu g d super(-1) in lowest feeding regime). Survival after 10 days was not affected by ration, ranging from 86 to 96%. A growth rate of 1.2 mu g d super(-1) at day 10 resulted in mean dry weight (1.0 mg), survival (62%) and reproduction (9.3 neonates/female) at day 49 similar to reported values for this species. Growth rates less than or equal to 0.9 mu g d super(-1) at day 10 corresponded to significantly reduced reproduction at day 49 (i.e., <1 neonate per female). Time to the onset of amplexus increased with decreasing ration suggesting reduced ration may have delayed reproduction.

AN - 36403409; 5984 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately 11.6-mile section of US 12, extending from Interstate 90/94 at Lake Delton south to the existing four-lane facility south of Ski Hi Road, located in south-central Wisconsin, is proposed. The corridor would pass through the towns of Delton, Baraboo, and Sumpter as well as the communities of Baraboo and West Baraboo. The rapid expansion of the area's tourism industry has dramatically increased traffic volume of US 12, which is the main access route to two state parks, 82 family attractions, the Ho-Chunk Casino, and other area attractions. Traffic volumes on some portions of the roadway has doubled in the past ten years, and projections indicate a 40 percent increase in the next 25 years. At those levels, traffic would be 260 percent above the desirable limit for a two-lane highway. The existing US 12 is a two-lane rural highway for much of the 11.6 miles between Lake Delton and Ski Hi Road. The project would include expanding the highway to a full four-lane divided highway. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would follow the alignment of existing US 12 and incorporate the existing highway as one set of lanes. The other four build alternatives would generally follow the existing highway, but each would bypass West Baraboo to the south and also bypass different sections of the existing highway. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $30.7 million to $54.2 million. The proposed improvements would not be implemented until after the year 2005. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A four-lane highway within the corridor would improve north-south traffic movements, improve access to area industries, stimulate economic development, relieve congestion on the existing highway, and provide a safe and efficient highway link to move people, goods, and services more quickly and directly. The facility would form part of the regional transportation network and would connect two multi-lane highways. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the build alternatives would result in the displacement of up to 46 residences and businesses, 12.0 hectares of wetlands, 56.8 hectares of woodlands, and 113.0 hectares of agricultural land. Alternatives that deviate from the existing highway would result in fewer residential displacements than would occur Alternative 1; however, these alternatives would also convert more land to highway use and require more waterway crossings. Some alternatives would adversely affect the Baraboo Range National Natural Landmark, one of the largest blocks of southern upland forest in the Midwest.

AN - 36410852; 5976 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 in 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 draft EIS. One build alternative would involve 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 would involve relocating 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 Doyletown Township in Bucks County. A third build alternative would involve widening 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 costs of the project range from $65.0 million to $210.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would help to improve local and regional traffic flows, alleviate existing roadway deficiencies, to reduce congestion, and to reduce safety risks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to 39 residences and 18 commercial and industrial establishments, the conversion of 111.6 acres of productive agricultural lands, the filling of 9.2 acres of high-quality wetlands, the fragmentation of 13 wetlands; and potential adverse impacts on four historic sites and three historic districts.

AN - 36413208; 5974 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of roughly 70 miles of Route 54, Route 19, and Route 107 extending from US 61 near Bowling Green and New London on the east to Mark Twain Lake and the Mexico bypass on the west in northeastern Missouri is proposed. The improvements would be in the immediate vicinity of seven communities: Center, Curryville, Farber, Laddonia, Perry, Rush Hill, and Vandalia. Route 54 and Route 19 are principal arterial highways providing important links for interstate service between Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois, and connecting metropolitan areas and tourist attractions throughout Missouri. Both routes are components within the National Highway System, and accident rates on both routes are well above the statewide average. The proposed improvements to these two routes would involve widening the existing two-lane routes to a four-lane, divided highway and bypassing six of the nearby communities. Improvements to Route 107 would involve widening the existing travel lanes and shoulders on local roads such as Route J, Route O, Route D, and Route E and connecting these two-lane improvements to Route 54 and Route 19. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, which would make no improvements except normal pavement maintenance, spot upgrading, and minor safety improvements, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would generally widen Route 54 and Route 19 along their existing alignments. The other build alternatives would construct sections of Route 19 and Route 54 along new alignments. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements range from $248.0 million to $269.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would reduce congestion on the existing routes, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to 47 residences, 3 businesses, 1,816 acres of prime farmland, and 16 acres of wetlands; sever up to 50 farms; cross 65 streams; and adversely affect six historic sites and the habitat of the Indiana bat.

AN - 36403189; 5973 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 considers 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. This second draft supplement considers 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: 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 two modified alternatives would make a significant improvement in traffic flow because the high clearance would remove the need for bridge openings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the acquisition of 47.7 to more than 61.8 acres 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 significant numbers of residences and could result in the displacement of up to 13 businesses. All of the 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. Each candidate build alternative could adversely affect two or more of six properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Six submerged archaeological sites could be adversely affected.

AN - 36410718; 5965 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of surface water impoundments on the Red River of the North watershed in northwestern Minnesota is proposed. Major floods have occurred on 23 occasions since the first gaging station was established in 1873, and many additional smaller floods have occurred in that period. Estimates of average annual flood damages developed in the late 1960s were updated to 1981 dollars and exceed $15 million. The project would address flood damage reduction, and impoundments would require individual permits under the Federal Clean Water Act. Issues of concern include the effects on flood water and base flows; water quality; archaeological and architectural resources; woodland, grassland, lake, stream, and wetland habitats; wildlife; fish; threatened and endangered species; agricultural production and productivity; and recreation and tourism. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would include the construction of 33 flood damage reduction impoundments categorized into six different project types, including on-channel, gated wet dams for ten locations; on-channel, ungated wet dam for one location; on-channel, gated dry dams for six locations; on-channel, ungated dry dams for four locations; off-channel, gated dry dams for nine locations; and off-channel, gated wet dams for three locations. Drainage areas for individual projects would range from 3 to 1,220 square miles; permanent pools of up to 3,550 acres would be formed. Maximum flood pools would range from 30 to 6,200 acres, and average depth would range from 1.5 to 15 feet. Maximum dam height would range from 6 to 53 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would address the need for flood damage reduction in the Red River watershed. Of the nine subbasins in the project area, the proposed action would have beneficial impacts on flood flow in three areas; on wetland habitat in one area; on wildlife in one area; and on agricultural production and productivity in two areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Of the nine subbasins in the project area, the proposed action would adversely affect water quality in eight areas; archaeological and architectural resources in two areas; woodland habitat in four areas; grassland habitat in eight areas; lake habitat in one area; stream habitat in six areas; wetland habitat in eight areas; wildlife in nine areas; fish in seven areas; threatened and endangered species in one area; and recreation and tourism in two areas.

AN - 36404556; 5943 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of the Wilmington Harbor ship channel in southeastern North Carolina is proposed. Although harbor dimensions have been increased incrementally for over 100 years, channel depths are not adequate for the fleet now calling at the port. As a result, shippers must lightload their vessels to enter the port and delay transits waiting for high tide. The recommended plan would involve dredging most of the harbor 4 feet deeper, with some widening of one turning basin and channel and extension of the anchorage basin near Wilmington. Dredging methods include hydraulic pipeline, bucket and barge, hopper, and rock cutterhead dredge. Hydraulic pipeline dredges would be used from about four miles south of the State Port to the upstream limit of the Federal Channel, with disposal in an existing upland confined disposal facility. About four miles south of State Port to Southport, a bucket and barge dredge would be used, with disposal at an approved ocean disposal site. From Southport to the Smith Island Channel, a hopper dredge would be used, with disposal at the ocean disposal site. From the ocean bar offshore, the rock substrate would be excavated by a rock cutterhead dredge with disposal to complete the Wilmington Offshore Fisheries Enhancement Structure. Certain areas of rock in the river would require blasting. The project would require the removal of about 12.8 million cubic yards of dredged material, including 3.4 million cubic yards of rock. Approximately 601,000 cubic yards of rock would require blasting. The total length of the improvement is 38 miles (including the river and ocean bar channels). The estimated cost of the project is $228.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in navigation would provide economic benefits to local industries, increase personal and business incomes, and reduce shipping costs by $24.6 million annually. Increasing the channel depths would allow vessels to transport the same amount of commodities in fewer trips using the greater operating drafts. The benefit-cost ratio for the project is 1.2. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The endangered shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles, and West Indian manatee could be adversely affected by blasting. Turbidity would increase as a result of initial and maintenance dredging and increased commercial traffic; dredging would bury fish eggs and benthic organisms.

AN - 36412572; 5938 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for regulating mining and reclamation of the Sisquoc and Santa Maria rivers, starting at Suey Crossing near Suey Park in the city of Santa Maria, and extending upstream to a buried concrete dam at the mouth of the narrow canyon on the Sisquoc Ranch, in California, is proposed. The overall goal of the plan is to monitor mineral production and conservation within the 8,500-acre project area while minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Two related actions also under consideration in this draft EIS are applications filed by Coast Rock Products and S.P. Mining for mining and reclamation permits for long-standing sand and gravel mining operations along both rivers. Recent regulatory changes in the definitions of "discharges of dredged or fill material" require that these companies obtain permits. Coast Rock has been mining sand and gravel along the Sisquoc and Santa Maria rivers since 1957. Coast Rock currently has conditional use permits for mining operations on 1,420 acres and approved reclamation plans on 512 acres as well as vested rights for processing plant operations. In recent years Coast Rock's average production has been somewhat less than one million tons per year. Although no new processing facilities are planned, annual production would keep pace with projected increases in demand for the product. Future mining operations would continue the present practice of in-channel excavation combined with off-channel pit excavations. Mining would occur across the entire river bed. Reclamation would be an ongoing part of surface mining activities. S.P. Milling has a conditional use permit over a 64-acre parcel and vesting rights over 304 acres for producing aggregate from the channel of the lower Sisquoc River in Santa Barbara County. Aggregate has been mined from this location since the 1920s. Future mining activities would consist of one-time channel widening and ongoing mining of reserves renewed with storm events, which are assumed to provide an average of 100,000 tons per year. Although each of the three proposed actions is independent of the other two and could be approved separately, the three actions are interrelated and are intended to be carried forward together. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed management plan for the area would include policies, development standards, and procedures to govern mining and reclamation within the project area and to ensure that adjacent land uses are compatible with mining activities. The continuation of mining activities would ensure a steady supply of crushed rock for use as a building material. The total estimated resource in the area is 1,526 million tons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Continued mining would result in the loss of some farmland and an increased demand for groundwater in the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin.

AN - 36401166; 5937 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new master plan for the Mount Hood Meadows Ski Area in Hood River County and the Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon is proposed. The ski area lies on the southeast side of Mount Hood and 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 the 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 draft 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 6.0-acre expansion of the Main Lodge, a 1.0-acre expansion at Hood River Meadows, and a 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 draft supplement. 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 have an adverse effect on 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 is likely to decline.

AN - 36401226; 5933 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of a portion of US Route 71 to a new 5.8-mile-long, four-lane, fully-limited-access roadway on a new right-of-way, extending from the existing Route 71 near Centerville to I-44, east of Joplin, Missouri, is proposed. The existing Route 71, called Range Line Road in Joplin, is experiencing traffic handling problems as a result of increasing urbanization, local traffic increases, and increased use of Route 71 by regional travelers. The new north-south roadway would provide needed eastern access to Joplin's east-west arterials. The roadway would feature a 60-foot-wide median, a 24-foot-wide travelway, and 10-foot-wide shoulders. Interchanges would be constructed at existing Route 71 near Carterville, Zora Street, Newman Road, and Route 66. The project would complete construction of the Route 71/I-44 interchange. Initially the project would consist of a four-lane divided roadway and a partial two-lane section; future construction would complete the four-lane divided facility north of Route 66. A No-Build Alternative and five build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The alignments for the build alternatives lie within a one-mile corridor terminating at the partially completed I-44 interchange. Estimated construction costs of the preferred alternative (Alternative E) are $31.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide enhanced public safety, traffic relief, numerous social benefits, and long-term improvement to the regional transportation system. In addition, the project would result in the reclamation and remediation of a portion of a Superfund site (a former lead/zinc mining area) through which the highway would pass. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 12 acres of prime farmland, 155 acres of important farmland, 4 residences, and 3 businesses. The roadway would encroach on roughly 625 lineal feet of floodplain for Mine Branch. Dust generated by construction equipment could increase exposure to airborne lead.

Preparation date: June 28, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APCo 765-kV TRANSMISSION LINE; BLAND, BOTETOURT, CRAIG, GILES, MONTGOMERY, PULASKI, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA, AND MERCER, MONROE, SUMMERS, AND WYOMING COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36411669; 5914 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by the Appalachian Power Company (APCo) of a 765-kilovolt (765-kV) electric transmission line across 12 miles of federal land within a 200-foot right-of-way as part of a 115-mile-long project, located in central western Virginia and southern West Virginia, is proposed. The transmission line would affect lands under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service (the George Washington and Jefferson national forests), the National Park Service (the Appalachian National Scenic Trail), and the Army Corps of Engineers (the New River and R.D. Bailey Lake Flowage Easement Land). help meet the anticipated demand for electric power in the region and increase system reliability. Issues of concern include the effects on water resources, cultural resources, human health and safety, air quality and noise, recreation (trails and trail users), other recreation, social and economic resources, land use and land use plans, aesthetic and visual resources, plant and animal resources, and geology, soils, and minerals. Fourteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 14, the preferred alternative of the Forest Service and the National Park Service; the Army Corps of Engineers has not identified an agency preferred alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 1), a transmission line would extend from APCo's Wyoming Substation in Oceana, West Virginia, to the Cloverdale Substation in Cloverdale, Virginia. The project would include a 200-foot right-of-way for the construction of self-supporting and guyed-V lattice transmission line towers averaging 132 feet in height and 132 feet in width, spaced at approximately 0.25-mile intervals. Federal lands traversed would include a distance of approximately 2,100 feet at the New River approximately 4.4 miles north of the West Virginia/Virginia state line, which is administered by the Army Corps of Engineers and is currently under study by the National Park Service for possible addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Also, the Guyandotte River would be crossed about one mile west of Benton, West Virginia, where the Army Corps of Engineers maintains river flowage easements. The route would also cross about 12 miles of the George Washington and Jefferson national forests, entering near Peters Mountain about 1.9 miles southeast of Zenith, West Virginia, running southeast to cross the Forest Service/National Park Service-administered Appalachian National Scenic Trail about one mile north of Virginia Route 621, and finally exiting the national forest southeast of Brush Mountain, approximately 12 miles northwest of Salem, Virginia. This corridor would also include a small area of National Park Service land near Tinker Mountain, which could be avoided with proper siting within the corridor. The other eleven route alternatives would vary in length from approximately 113 to 126 miles. One corridor which would entirely avoid Forest Service land was not evaluated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increased availability of electric power to APCo's service area would increase reliability and reduce outages and voltage drops, and could stimulate growth in the area, increasing employment, local expenditures, and increased tax revenues. Project construction would create 35 jobs on average, with a peak requirement of 100, increasing area construction-related income by $90.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Irretrievable incompatibility with sensitive land uses and features would occur, such as the New River, the Appalachian Trail, and residences. The visual effects of the action alternatives would be high, adverse, and long-lasting, especially in such recreational areas as the Appalachian Trail, the New River, and various parks, mountains, lookouts, and highways. The National Park Service has determined that the adverse visual impacts of crossing the New River within the Wild and Scenic study area would be unacceptable. Also, the proposed action would not comply with the Jefferson National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, particularly as it would apply to visual resources. The action alternatives would adversely affect wildlife habitat, recreation, karst terrain, noise levels, soils resource, water resources, and vegetation. It could also adversely affect wetlands and floodplains, aquatic biological resources, land use, social and economic values, archaeological resources, cultural attachment, human health and safety, and federal and state proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive species and state heritage list species.

Preparation date: June 20, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION LABORATORY, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36399912; 5909 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 140,000 square-foot Food and Drug Administration (FDA) facility on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI), in the city of Irvine, California, is proposed. The UCI campus is located approximately 40 air miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The facility would consolidate existing facilities: an FDA laboratory in downtown Los Angeles, including the California State Department of Health Food and Drug Section; complementary functions from the FDA San Francisco laboratory; and the FDA Irvine office. The laboratory would be multifunctional with respect to FDA activities, including administrative functions, such as investigation and compliance activities, and laboratory testing and analytical services. The facility would have a food chemistry branch, drug chemistry branch, pesticides branch, microbiology branch, and biochemistry section for its testing and analytical services. Portions or functions of the laboratory could be used, in cooperation with UCI, for educational purposes. The facility would employ approximately 230 persons to provide administrative functions, including industry outreach and partnering, investigation, compliance, and public affairs activities; and laboratory testing and analytical services in the areas of food and drug chemistry, pesticides, microbiology, and biochemistry. Issues of concern EIS include building design, parking, landscaping, utilities, security, site preparation, activities to be performed when in operation, and the cumulative impacts of other future development projects within surrounding cities. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed alternative, the 140,000 square-foot, two-story facility would be constructed on a 10-acre site that would be purchased from the University of California. The site is located in the southern portion of the 118-acre North Campus area, which is physically separated from the rest of the campus by the San Joaquin Freshwater Marsh Reserve, San Diego Creek, and University Drive. The site fronts on Fairchild Road, east of MacArthur Boulevard and south of Jamboree Road. The other alternatives under consideration include alternative site configurations with the construction of a building three or more stories tall and an alternative site on the northeast corner of Barrance Parkway and Laguna Canyon Road in Irvine. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The consolidation of FDA offices would improve efficiency, reduce costs, and make it possible for the FDA to meet the requirements of conducting regulatory science into the 21st century. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect archeological site CA-ORA-116, a small prehistoric campsite or seasonally occupied village overlooking the San Joaquin Marsh that is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Excavation could adversely affect paleontological resources. Ten acres of open space and non-native grassland habitat would be lost, which also could result in reduced wildlife access to the Marsh Reserve area. Exotic plant species could be introduced into the reserve, displacing native species.

AN - 36413142; 5897 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the existing federal navigation project at Long Beach Harbor in order to meet existing and projected navigation needs of the Port of Long Beach, located in Los Angeles County, California, is proposed. The port has completed the deepening of the main channel and turning basin to berth 121 to a minimum of -76 feet mean lower low water as part of their pier J expansion project, completed in 1992. The port has indicated its desire to receive credit, if applicable, for its partial dredging of the federal navigation project that could result from this study in accordance with Section 4 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1988. The need for navigation improvements at Long Beach Harbor focuses on improving the efficiency of transporting crude petroleum to refineries in the San Pedro Bay region. Current deliveries are made by tankers ranging up to 262,000 deadweight tons with a design draft of about 68 feet. A channel depth of 76 feet would be required for these tankers to operate fully loaded. The existing depth of 60 feet places a constraint on the depth these tankers can load, resulting in inefficient operations and higher transportation costs per ton delivered. The proposed action (the National Economic Development (NED) plan) has been formulated in order to account for different design vessels and related channel dimensions required for safe transit, and associated dredging requirements, costs and benefits. Also considered were characteristics and quality of the material required for disposal and alternative methods of disposal. Potential use of disposal material for beach nourishment, landfill, and ecological restoration were examined. The project first cost is estimated at $37.3 million. with benefits estimated to be worth $34.685 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the modification would allow for more use of tankers carrying crude petroleum. Related activities would provide some positive contributions to the environment through the use of dredging material for the pier 400 landfill, which would reduce the need to obtain an equivalent amount of material from other sources. It would also provide some ecological benefits by filling in the deep pit areas to the more likely biologically productive surrounding shallower benthic areas. This could result in increased habitat suitable for California halibut spawning, which in turn could result in increased catches. Long-term air quality impacts would be beneficial, as less vessel trips would be required to deliver required petroleum volumes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in short-term adverse impacts related to turbidity and air quality during construction. The significant adverse air quality impact would be the emission of oxides of nitrogen and reactive organic compounds in exceedance of thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Preparation date: June 12, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILMINGTON HARBOR CHANNEL WIDENING AND NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT, CAPE FEAR RIVER, WILMINGTON, BRUNSWICK AND NEW HANOVER COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1994). AN - 36408280; 5893 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of Wilmington Harbor in New Hanover and Brunswick counties, North Carolina, is proposed. Wilmington Harbor is a federal navigation project located along the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear rivers in southeastern North Carolina. The project area extends approximately 31 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean to the Port of Wilmington. The existing harbor channel, which is 400 feet wide and 38 feet deep, is generally satisfactory for one-way traffic; however, delays often occur because no passing lane exists and today's deep-draft vessels exceed the design criteria of the channel. In addition, river pilots have identified five turns and bends where maneuvering problems occur and improvements are needed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of March 1994. Under the selected plan, the existing navigation channel would be widened to 600 feet over a 6.2-mile reach of Wilmington Harbor. In addition, the five difficult turns would be widened by 150 to 200 feet each. The additional width of the passing lanes and the improved turns would be dredged to the existing channel depth of 38 feet, with one foot of required overdepth and one foot of allowable overdepth also being dredged (for a total depth of 40 feet). The turn improvements would be made by using a pipeline dredge, which involves dredging with a cutterhead and pumping the dredged material to a diked disposal area. Bucket and barge dredging would be used to build and maintain the passing lane. The material dredged from the passing lane would be disposed of at the designated offshore disposal site located three nautical miles south of the mouth of Cape Fear River. Approximately 4.08 million cubic yards of material would be dredged from the passing lanes and the turns. Maintenance dredging would be conducted at intervals of two to four years. This final supplement to the final EIS considers alternative disposal sites for dredged material, the effects of rock blasting on the estuarine environment, and a blast monitoring plan. Geological surveys and other data indicate that up to 70,000 cubic yards of rock might be nondredgeable in turn 2, turn 3, and turn 4. Up to 112 explosions could be necessary within a blast area of 20.2 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel widening would allow for the passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays and the operating costs of shippers. The modification of the harbor would make it more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for the area. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.5. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the estuarine bottom would be converted to a channel, temporary increases in turbidity would occur, and the shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species, could be adversely affected, as a result of the blasting necessary for rock removal. The grading and diking process would result in the loss of 6.3 acres of high marsh and 0.5 acres of intertidal marsh, although these losses would be offset by the creation of new wetlands. Blasting would adversely affect the shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles, marine mammals, the West Indian manatee, and other aquatic species.

AN - 36399629; 5895 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of two water supply projects in Wasatch County, Utah, is proposed. The proposals are considered in two separate draft EIS's bound in a single volume. The first proposal would involve replacing water currently diverted from the upper Strawberry River basin by Daniel Irrigation Company. 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 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. The 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. Side channels and ponds would be constructed on both sides of the new river alignment to provide diversity and unique habitat features. Existing levees would be removed and 100-year flood protection would be provided by the expanded floodplain or new setback levees. Disturbed areas along the new floodplain would be revegetated with native plants. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under both proposals, 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. The Provo River would be returned to a more naturally functioning riverine ecosystem, and the effects of impoundment, water diversions, channel straightening, dredging, and diking would be removed. 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. The Provo River project would result in a temporary increase in water temperature and a permanent loss of grazing land and cropland.

Preparation date: June 10, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BART-SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EXTENSION, SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407977; 5891 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of transit facilities within the Northern Peninsula Corridor in San Mateo County, California, is proposed. The corridor is bounded by San Francisco Bay on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the San Francisco/San Mateo County border on the north, and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on the south. Three bus and rail transportation systems currently provide service to the area: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), SamTrans, and CalTrain. SFO, the corridor's largest single generator of traffic, is currently served by SamTrans and private bus lines, but lacks an effective connection with either of the region's two major rail systems, BART and CalTrain. Ten alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and a Transportation Systems Management Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the locally preferred alternative (the Aerial Design Option Alternative), some 8.2 miles of new revenue service track would be constructed. This would include 7.4 miles of straight-through mainline track from the Colma BART station trailtracks to a BART/CalTrain station at Millbrae Avenue, and a 0.8-mile east-west aerial -stub perpendicular to the BART/CalTrain mainline terminating at the planned airport international terminal. Stations would be provided at Hickey Boulevard, Tanforan Park Shopping Center, SFO airport international terminal, and Millbrae avenue. The four stations would provide a total of 5,337 parking spaces. Key ancillary facilities would include ancillary tracks, car wash, traction power substations and feed facilities, access roads, ventilation buildings, and tailtracks. The estimated capital costs under the locally preferred alternative are $1.07 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion in and around SFO would be relieved, resulting in air quality improvements. Generally, transit service would improve due to the minimization of travel time and the maximization of reliability. Projected transit-person trips for the year 1998 would increase by 37,600 trips per day. The increase in ridership would significantly reduce hazardous air emissions. The project would boost the local economy, providing up to 1,125 direct and indirect new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would displace up to 525 residents, 55 employees, and 3.7 acres of wetlands. More than half of the lost wetlands are inhabited by the San Francisco garter snake, California red-legged frog, and the San Francisco forktail dragonfly. Levels of service along portions of Highway 101 and at selected intersections near new station sites would significantly deteriorate. Construction in Colma and west of Bayshore parcel would encroach on floodplains and increase the risks of flooding. Parklands in San Bruno would be adversely affected by the proposed alignment.

AN - 36403046; 5885 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, limited-access highway between south and west Huntsville, Alabama, is proposed. The project would provide an alternative north-south corridor to link a rapidly growing employment base in northwestern Huntsville, the expanding U.S. Army Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal, and a developing residential area in southeastern Huntsville. The project would consist of two segments: a Southern Bypass beginning at Memorial Parkway, across from Hobbs Island Road and north of the Tennessee River, and ending at Interstate 565 and Rideout Road in west Huntsville; and a Weatherly Road extension project extending the existing Weatherly Road from Memorial Parkway to the proposed Southern Bypass. Three alignment alternatives were considered for the Weatherly Road extension, and eleven alignments were considered for the Southern Bypass. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 10), the Southern Bypass would extend 14.9 miles, with a portion crossing Redstone Arsenal property and interchanges at Hobbs Island Road, Green Cove Road, Redstone Road, Weatherly Road, Martin Road, Triana Boulevard, Patton Road, Burose Road, Toftoy Freeway, Morris Road, Rideout Road, and Goss Road within the arsenal. Frontage roads for the bypass would be required at various locations throughout the arsenal boundaries of the corridor; at Neal Road, between Triana Boulevard and Martin Road; and on the west side of the bypass along Rideout Road between Overlook and Hale roads. A limited-access service road would be required under the bridge structure south of Martin Road to allow city maintenance crews access to a sewer line. The Weatherly Road extension would be about 4.5 miles long, and would end at the interchange with the proposed Southern Bypass. Total costs for the preferred alternative and the Weatherly Road extension would be $326.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an alternative north-south corridor with more capacity to move the projected higher volume of area traffic efficiently and safely than the already overcrowded Memorial Parkway. Short-term economic benefits during highway construction would include increased employment opportunities and increased demand for goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect 82 acres of wetlands and 11 archaeological sites, result in 82 relocations, and create adverse noise impacts at 81 receptor locations. The building of the Southern Bypass would restrict access to some businesses in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

The model used geologically based statistical methods to guide the exploration program. These methods included establishing environment of deposition from stratigraphic data, which was then used in conjunction with predictive formulas to estimate sand body width. With an estimate of sand body width, probability of encountering the sand body again was established, which was combined with errors of sand body thickness estimates produced by kriging, to establish data point locations. The procedures of the model were followed until the sand bodies were defined. The model was applied to an existing data set at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado. The sand body at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal was defined to within the standard deviation of the sand thicknesses less than that of the whole data set. However, the exploration already conducted at the Arsenal had not defined the sand body in this way, thus, a planned comparison for accuracy could not be made. This resulted in a supplemental site being used for comparison purposes. Since the Arsenal site did support the stratigraphic determination portion of the model, the supplemental site was chosen as a modern floodplain whose width could be easily established, and used as a hypothetical sand body. The site chosen was a portion of the Brazos River floodplain in Texas. Hypothetical exploration programs were then conducted to define the sand body, using the model's method of exploration and a typical grid method of exploration. The results of each method were then compared. The comparison showed that the model's method of exploration had defined the hypothetical sand body with fewer data points, but with similar accuracy to that of the grid method of exploration. Thus, the model's method for exploration can be used to select data point locations in defining a sand body deposited by a fluvial meandering system by following the sand body into and through a site and with fewer data point locations.

The delineation of buried paleochannels is a prime concern during the characterization of these sites. Buried paleochannels often provide direct conduits for contamination to move rapidly in the subsurface. Historically the method used to define a discontinuous sand body was to grid the entire area of interest and start drilling closely spaced holes. The grid pattern method is expensive and potentially hazardous. Geologists in the petroleum industry have developed techniques to predict the size, shape and orientation of subsurface sedimentary deposits by defining local environments of deposition of geologic materials within regional settings. Based on the depositional history of the paleochannel deposits empirical equations have been developed which allow for the calculation of channel depths as well as channel and meander belt widths. By combining geostatistics (kriging), paleogeomorphic studies and probability techniques, a predictive model was developed which has application in both ground water investigations and in oil and gas exploration.

The program functions in the frame analysis mode, in which a 2-D plane frame model of a pile supported monolithic concrete structure is formulated. The effects of soil and/or water in the model of the system must be explicitly provided by the user with the "additional weight" facility described subsequently. Displacements and internal forces throughout the structure, including pile forces, induced by an earthquake excitation are determined from a linearly elastic model analysis. This program provides information regarding the response of the structure only, performs no design functions, nor does it attempt to judge the quality of the structural performance.

It was realized several years ago, that the U.S. Amy corps of Engineers must have the capability to analyze the operation of large multiple reservoir systems for water quality. The Hydrologic Engineering Center was funded to develop a computer program to meet this need. "HEC-5Q, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' computer model has the unique capabilities to accept user-specified water quantity and quality needs system-wide, and to decide how to regulate a network of reservoirs. The decision criteria are programmed to consider flood control, hydropower, instream flow (municipal, industrial, irrigation, water supply, fish habitat), and water quality requirements. A brief history and description of the HEC-5Q model is provided along with citations to related case studies and technical reports. JF - Technical Papers.

This policy is a major departure from past practices and is viewed as a significant step forward in improving the basis for Corps project development. The risk-based approach explicitly incorporates uncertainty of key parameters and functions into project benefit and performance analyses. Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess the impact of the uncertainty in the discharge-probability, elevation-discharge, and elevation-damage functions. This paper summarizes historical project development study methods, describes the risk-based approach, presents application results, and discusses project design implications of the new policy.

Seasonal and long-term operation planning are fairly different undertakings, in the level of analysis detail, the role of hydrology and uncertainty, and the frequency of policy revision (seasonal operations can be revised monthly). Thus the details of setting up, conducting, and interpreting optimization model results can differ significantly between these two applications. For both optimization model applications, simulation modeling is an important, it not essential, companion. As such, it is useful to review the wide variety of operating rule forms available for reservoir system simulation modeling. JF - Research Documents.

AN - 36411543; 5867 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Smith Creek Parkway and Downtown Spur within the city of Wilmington and adjacent unincorporated areas of New Hanover County, North Carolina, is proposed. This draft supplemental EIS updates and supplements the final EIS of September 1980 and the final supplement of September 1991. The 1980 final EIS considered the construction of a six-mile-long, four-lane parkway east of Wilmington that would extend from NC 133 at the Northeast Cape Fear River to US 74 east of the city and a two-mile Downtown Spur that would extend from US 117 (Castle Hayne Road) at Smith Creek to 3rd Street in downtown Wilmington. The parkway would cross two sets of railroad tracks on grade separation structures and Burnt Mill Creek on a bridge structure. Access to the parkway would be provided at two interchanges. The parkway would have a design speed of 60 miles per hour (mph), while the spur would have a design speed of 45 mph. For design and funding purposes, the parkway was divided into four sections. Final construction for the two eastern sections has been completed. The two western sections were redesigned in the final supplement of 1991 in order to minimize noise impacts on Carolco studios and hazardous material impacts from the abandoned Burnt Mill Creek Landfill. Following the release of the 1991 supplement, the North Carolina Department of Transportation determined that the downtown spur should be developed for freight and passenger rail use exclusively. Therefore, this draft supplement considers a new preferred alternative for the two western sections of the project. This new preferred alternative (the Northern Design Alternative with 3rd Street Extension) would be a controlled-access, six-lane facility, with interchanges at the east approach of US 117 Northeast Cape Fear bridge, the US 117 Connector north of Smith Creek, and 23rd Street. The estimated cost of the alternative is $70.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Parkway and spur construction would implement a portion of the Wilmington Thoroughfare Plan under consideration since 1972. East-west access between downtown Wilmington and the rapidly developing eastern suburbs and coastal resort areas in adjacent New Hanover County would be improved substantially. The segment of I-40 extending to the Wilmington area would be complemented. Under the preferred alternative, adverse impacts and clean-up costs associated with the Burnt Mill Creek landfill would be avoided, and the downtown spur would be preserved for future rail service. The preferred alternative would provide a US 117 connector and better traffic utilization than the other alternatives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new preferred alternative would adversely affect twice the acreage of wetlands as the 1991 alternative (14.4 acres versus 6.97 acres). The new roadway would extend along the northern and western boundaries of the expanded Wilmington National Historic District. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 10 businesses but no residences.

AN - 36402891; 5865 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway to replace existing US 71 connecting Texarkana, Arkansas, and the Louisiana state line, is proposed. The existing US 71 is a two-lane highway extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana. The new section of highway would begin at Loop 151/245 on the south side of Texarkana and extend south for a distance of 28 to 30 miles to just north of Ida, Louisiana. The highway would provide an additional north-south freeway that would fill the 500-mile wide gap that presently exists in the north-south freeway system between Interstate 35 (I-35) in Oklahoma and I-55 along the Mississippi River. It would also complement four east-west interstate highways currently in place. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under each of the build alternatives, the facility would have six interchanges. Under Alternative B, the western-most route, the facility would have a total roadway length of 28.2 miles, and generally follow an alignment to the west of existing US 71. Under Alternative C, the facility would be 30.5 miles long and generally follow an alignment just to the east of existing US 71. Under Alternative E, the facility would be 29.1 miles long and generally follow an alignment just to the west of existing US 71. The preferred alternative, which was developed in response to public comments and questions raised in public information workshops, is a combination of Alternative B and Alternative E. The reconstruction alternative considered in the draft EIS would require the relocation of over 160 residences and businesses; it was dropped from consideration. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $196.4 million. 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 344 acres of farmland, fill 63 acres of wetlands, cross 40 streams, encroach on 135 acres of floodplain, and displace 39 residences and two business.

Preparation date: May 20, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR, JOHNSON AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, ILLINOIS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1995). AN - 36399543; 5853 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,172-acre water supply reservoir to be located near the community of Creal Springs, Illinois, is proposed. The reservoir would provide water to the city of Marion and several neighboring developments. Marion is a community in south central Illinois, located 100 air miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. The Lake of Egypt Water District, a rural area located south of Marion, has in principle an agreement with Marion to purchase up to three million gallons of water if a new water supply source were developed. The current water source, Marion City Lake located south of the city limits on Limb Creek, lacks the capacity to meet anticipated demands; its supply is routinely supplemented by pipeline from Herrin Lake, which also has a limited capacity. In addition, significant treatment is required to ensure that the water from the Marion City Lake meets federal standards. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of July 1995. Under the preferred plan, the reservoir would be created on Sugar Creek; the dam would be located one mile south of the community of Creal Springs and 10 miles southeast of Marion. The lake would have a dependable yield of 8.0 million gallons per day; it would require a pipeline 12.2 miles long to connect to the water treatment in Marion. For much of its length, this pipeline would follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way; 14 stream crossings would be necessary. An additional eight miles of pipeline would be needed to transport water to the Lake of Egypt Water District treatment facility. Other alternatives under consideration include the purchasing of treated water from nearby communities and building new pipelines to nearby lakes. This final supplement considers an alternative that had been presented in the draft EIS but had not been carrier forward to the final EIS: the consumption of up to 17.5 million of gallons of water per day from Rend Lake. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, the reservoir would provide a long-term dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities. The reservoir would provide opportunities for fishing and boating. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would require the clearing of 9 acres of woodland and 14 acres of cropland, and the filling of one acre of wetlands. The reservoir would inundate 533 acres of agricultural lands, 594 vegetated acres, and 28 individual wetland sites comprising over 40 acres. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, would be lost as a result of reservoir development. Eleven historic and prehistoric sites have been identified in the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 7, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMITE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH, LOUISIANA. AN - 36397924; 5968 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project in order to protect residents and property within the Amite River Basin of Louisiana is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 560 square miles in southeastern Louisiana. Urban and other developed land, including the cities of Baton Rouge, Baker, and Zachary, comprise 40 percent of the land use. Major floods in recent years occurred in 1973, 1977, 1979, 1983, and 1990. The 1983 flood was the flood of record and caused damages of $172 million in the Amite River Basin and $65 million in the East Baton Rouge watershed. The tentatively selected plan for the East Baton Rouge Parish watershed calls for channel modifications to five watersheds: Backwater Bayou and its main tributary, Beaver Bayou; Jones Creek and tributaries; Ward Creek and tributaries; and Bayou Fountain. The plan would involve modifying 66 total miles of channel. Minimal channel clearing would occur on 25 miles, earthen channel enlargement would occur on 24 miles, and channel concrete lining would be installed on 17 miles. The plan would also involve the planting of trees along 60 miles of streambank. Fish and wildlife mitigation measures would consist of the reforestation of 397 acres of cleared land to compensate for an estimated 280 acres of bottomland hardwoods that would be lost to project construction. Recreation features would include an 11-mile bicycle trail adjacent to Jones Creek. The estimated total first cost of the plan is $100.0 million. This EIS revises the draft and final EISs issued in 1990 and 1991. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plan, implementation would reduce flood damages associated with headwater and backwater flooding of tributary streams in East Baton Rouge Parish. Average annual benefits redounding from the project as a whole would amount to $24.4 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the total plan is 2.42 to 1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Flood control structures and flood control, itself, would result in a loss of 280 acres of wooded lands. Even though this loss would be mitigated by reforestation plans, it is anticipated that flood control measures would stimulate residential and commercial development in the southern portion of the parish, resulting in additional conversion of agricultural and wooded lands.

AN - 36399500; 5838 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of the property made available by the closure of the Evans Subpost at Fort Monmouth, 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. Reuse of the property is analyzed 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for the disposal and reuse of a facility that the Army no longer needs in its consolidation of activities to optimize readiness and dispose of excess property. 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. 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).

A one-dimensional vertical transport model is designed to predict seasonal solute distribution in the soil profile and watershed. CRREL received a request from the U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska, Environmental Technical Engineering Office, to provide technical assistance in evaluating the SESOIL model for helping to assess benzene leaching in the Alaskan environment. The major tasks outlined in the request were as follows: work an example problem for a diesel contaminated site, do analytical checks and do manual SESOIL analytical calculations for one cycle. The SESOIL model requires 57 input variables supplied by the user. An additional 8 parameters are required for the execution file. This study did sensitivity analyses on soil bulk density, intrinsic permeability, disconnectedness index, porosity, organic carbon, adsorption coefficient on organic carbon, and biodegradation rates of solid and liquid phases. The model is very sensitive to all the parameters studied. Despite its several difficulties, the model is popular among regulators and users because of its simplicity compared to research models. It can be used as a screening level tool in assessing chemical movement in the soil column with considerable site specific calibrations. JF - Special Report - Corps of Engineers, U. S.

AN - 36402803; 5831 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Illinois 267 (IL-267) to a four-lane expressway from Godfrey to Jacksonville, Illinois, is proposed. The 56-mile expressway would be designated as Federal Aid Primary Route 310 and marked as US 67, and extend from north of Godfrey in Madison County northward to the US 36/I-72 interchange southwest of Jacksonville in Morgan County. It would provide system linkage between the Alton Bypass, US 36/I-72, and the Jacksonville West Bypass, all of which are four-lane freeway or expressway facilities. In addition to improving access to communities along the proposed route, the expressway would improve access to the St. Louis metropolitan area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The alignments for both build alternatives would be the same from Godfrey to Manchester and include the following sections: alignment with the New Delhi bypass, Jerseyville east bypass, alignment along IL-267, Carollton west bypass, alignment along IL-267, White Hall-Roodhouse east bypass, alignment along IL-267, and the Manchester west bypass. North of Manchester, Alternative 1 would follow the eastern alignment north from Manchester to the existing interchange on US 36/I-72. Alternative 2 would follow the western alignment north of Manchester, following the Scott-Morgan County line north, then curving to intercept the existing US 36/I-72 interchange. The estimated costs for the project are $237 million for Alternative 1 and $240 million for Alternative 2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expressway would support economic growth and development within the region, enhance the existing system linkage, provide improved rural access, enhance travel efficiency, and improve traffic safety. It would result in reduced travel time and distances, energy savings, and reduced emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace up to 61 residences, 20 businesses, 7.8 acres of wetlands, 204 acres of forestland, and 691 acres of productive farmland. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect several locations along the project.

AN - 36407932; 5765 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of US Highway 151 (US 151) to a four-lane facility between Dickeyville and Belmont, Wisconsin, is proposed. US 151 is the principal route linking the metropolitan areas of Dubuque, Iowa, and Madison, Wisconsin. The 18-mile section of US 151 between Dickeyville and Belmont is the last section scheduled for improvement. The proposed new facility would connect with the existing four-lane sections of US 151 1.0 mile south of Dickeyville and extend northeasterly to its terminus 0.4 miles west of Belmont. A No-Build Alternative and several build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives would utilize the existing highway corridor to the extent practical and bypass communities where necessary. Freeway access control standards (no access except at interchanges) would be implemented along the bypass portions of the route. Expressway standards, permitting at-grade intersections and private entrances at controlled spacings, would be applied to the rural segments located along the existing alignment. For analysis purposes, the project area has been divided into four segments. In segment 1, the preferred alternative route would bypass Dickeyville to the east and rejoin the existing corridor 0.5 miles north of the village limits. In segments 2 and 4, the preferred route would generally follow the existing alignment. In segment 3, the preferred route would bypass Platteville to the east; a full diamond interchange would be constructed at the STH 80/81 interchange. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $70.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would alleviate traffic congestion, improve route safety, provide a critical connecting link in the overall transportation system, maintain the continuity of the overall route, and enhance regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 21 residences and 9 businesses, 160 hectares of farmland, and 1.3 hectares of wetlands.

AN - 36404033; 5767 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for the floodplain of the Coldwater River in northern Mississippi is proposed. The 392,000-acre watershed has experienced channel instability and degradation, bank erosion, gully erosion, overland flow erosion, flooding in localized areas, and the deposition of high sediment loads in downstream reaches, tributaries, and receiving streams of the Coldwater River. The recommended plan for dealing with these problems would involve taking a systems approach that considers all aspects of the watershed and incorporates them into an integrated solution that best serves the entire watershed. The plan would consist of constructing 14 floodwater-retarding structures and rehabilitating approximately two miles of channel on Little Coldwater Creek below a proposed floodwater-retarding structure. Channel rehabilitation would require a 150-foot right-of-way, resulting in a total acreage requirement of 36 acres. Mitigation measures would include the reforestation and dedication of 313 acres of open/agricultural land. A No Action Alternative is also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would reduce potential floods to the Coldwater River watershed, compensate for adverse impacts to fish and wildlife, and benefit the economic growth potential for the area by reducing the risk of flooding. Flood control structures would reduce peak flows on streams and serve as sediment basins and would also reduce head cutting on streams. Fishery and aquatic resources would benefit from reduced sediment entering streams. Sediment delivery to wetlands would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would result in the loss of 732 acres of prime farmland, the loss of 646 average annual habitat units for various birds and small mammals, and the conversion of 313 acres of wetlands and 345 acres of wooded habitat.

AN - 36400120; 5758 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of deep-draft navigational facilities for Richmond Harbor, located in Contra Costa County, California, is proposed. The construction of the Richmond Harbor Deepening Project was authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Public Law 99-662, and is scheduled to begin September 1996. The existing Richmond Harbor 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, especially under foggy conditions. Adverse factors in the Potrero Reach Channel consist of shoaling on both sides of the channel, rock outcropping at Point Potrero, and maneuvering constraints at the entrance to the Potrero sharp turn. The constricted configuration requires close tug control and good pilotage under variable current and wind conditions. The authorized project consists of widening and deepening the existing 4.0-mile Richmond Harbor Channel to -38 feet mean low water level (MLLW) and constructing a new 1,200-foot-diameter turning basin. Approximately 1.91 million cubic yards (cy) of material would be dredged, 234,00 cy of which are considered unsuitable for ocean disposal. Although the project was Congressionally authorized to -41 feet MLLW, the proposed action calls for deepening the existing navigation channel from -35 feet to -38 feet MLLW and providing a turning basin at Point Potrero. This approach was adopted in order to allow the Port and private sector beneficiaries maximum financial latitude while maintaining the greatest navigational benefits for the Channel in the long term. Eight disposal alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final supplemental EIS. Under the recommended plan (Alternative 5), the dredged material suitable for ocean disposal would be placed at the San Francisco Deepwater Ocean Disposal Site, and the unsuitable material would be disposed of at the parking lot site near the graving docks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels, improving channel configuration, and constructing a new turning basin at Point Potrero, 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter from dredging and disposal activities would exceed the best available control technology trigger levels. Dredging operations would have a potentially adverse impacts on herring spawning and eelgrass habitat.

AN - 36412964; 5757 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an approximately 1.8-mile, four-lane tunnel from Watson Island to the Port of Miami in Florida is proposed. The tunnel, which would provide direct access between the Port of Miami and I-395 via MacArthur Causeway, would be about 0.62 miles from portal to portal. The project area would extend from the western end of the MacArthur Causeway Bridge (eastern terminus of I-395) eastward along the MacArthur Causeway Bridge to Watson Island, then southeastwardly across the Main Channel to Dodge Island. A high-level bridge was considered for crossing the Main Channel, but because of the vertical clearance requirements over the channel and grade limitations of the heavy cargo trucks likely to use such a bridge, the design requirements for a bridge were judged to be impractical. To support the distribution of traffic for the tunnel, MacArthur Causeway Bridge would be widened for one additional lane in the eastbound direction and one lane in the westbound direction. On Dodge Island, the tunnel portal would be begin north of existing Port Boulevard and end in the center of Port Boulevard, requiring the relocation of the FEC railroad tracks to the south of Port Boulevard and the relocation of eastbound and westbound Port Boulevard to the south and north of the portal opening. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The tunnel would relieve the already congested Miami central business district of Port passenger and cargo traffic and would provide for the projected capacity needs of the Port itself. Furthermore, the tunnel would contribute significantly to the economic growth of the Port of Miami and the downtown Miami area. and would improve safety conditions along I-395. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging activities would have a temporary effect on water quality. The project would be located in an area of Biscayne Bay designated as an Aquatic Preserve and an Outstanding Florida Water, but because the project is a tunnel, no significant impacts to the preserve are expected to occur. Turbidity impacts during construction would be mitigated by the use of siltation screens and other feasible measures. Noise levels would increase by 1 to 2 decibels above existing conditions for noise-sensitive receptors on Watson Island.

AN - 36399341; 5753 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane bypass around the city of Burlington, in the southwestern portion of Racine County and the eastern portion of Walworth County, Wisconsin, is proposed. Major highways serving the project area are STH 36, STH 83, STH 11, AND STH 142, each providing access into the city of Burlington. Each of these is a major link in the transportation system serving southeastern Wisconsin, an area that contains 37 percent of the state's population. The convergence of these highways in and around Burlington has resulted in high traffic volumes and crash rates above statewide averages. Transportation needs identified by the community include reducing truck traffic, addressing safety concerns and substandard roadway design, improving access to area businesses and planned development, and addressing capacity problems. The project would be 8 to 11 miles long, bypassing Burlington to the east, south, and west. Local studies conducted in 1988 and 1990 concluded that a northern bypass would have adverse environmental impacts and would not carry a high volume of traffic. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The project would extend from STH 36/83 north and east of the city to its western terminus at STH 11. Two alignments are being considered in the eastern segment (each would require a crossing of the Fox River); four, in the southern segment; and one, in western segment. Estimated construction costs range from $58.0 million to $82.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Burlington, improve route safety, reduce truck traffic in town, improve highway system linkage, and enhance regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace up to 168 residences, 13 businesses, 313 acres of farmland, 45 acres of wetlands, and 34 acres of parkland.

AN - 36407498; 5747 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the State Trunk Highway 100 (STH 100) and US Highway 45 (US 45) interchange in northwest Milwaukee County and northeast Waukesha County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The study area includes most of the undeveloped land in northern Milwaukee County, which is a rapidly developing area within the Milwaukee metropolitan region. Land use changes and new development, along with growth in the area, are placing considerable demands on existing transportation facilities. The existing street and highway system is congested and is expected to become worse. Major causes of congestion are operational characteristics, inadequate capacity, additional traffic demand, and poor route continuity. Highway facility deficiencies include insufficient taper lengths for freeway interchange entrance and exit ramps, poor horizontal alignment, and short weaving areas. Accident frequency data indicate the need for system improvements. Continued growth and expansion in the northwest Milwaukee area has resulted in a need to provide an improved transportation system. Issues of concern include the proximity of residential development with respect to noise and air quality, access to existing and proposed development, and the potential impact upon the West Granville Historic District. The project is divided into six segments, of which two involve two alternative alignments; a preferred alternative has been selected for each segment. In all, the project would involve approximately nine miles of roadway construction at a cost of $54.8 million. Permits from the Army Corps of Engineers would be required for the discharge of fill material into waters of the U.S. and their adjacent wetlands. 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 text of the draft EIS is included as an attachment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would alleviate a severe bottleneck that currently exists on West Good Hope Road between the STH 100 and US 45 freeway and North 107th Street. Improvements would correct current deficiencies, relieve existing and future anticipated congestion, and accommodate traffic demands in a safe and efficient manner. The project would also remedy current use by freeway-bound trucks exiting a petroleum products tank farm and other industrial facilities in the vicinity of North 107th Street of two at-grade railroad crossings and heavily developed residential areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in 23 residential relocations and the acquisition of 52.8 acres for ROW requirements. It would adversely affect 18.8 acres of farmland, 4.9 acres of wetlands, and 5.2 acres of parkland. Under all of the build alternatives, the project would include residential relocations, wetland takings, encroachment upon the Menominee River floodplain, agricultural land acquisition, the taking of Menominee River Parkway land, and adverse noise impacts.

Preparation date: April 18, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MORRISON CREEK MINING REACH UPSTREAM OF JACKSON HIGHWAY, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36410372; 5741 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of aggregate mining and reclamation operations in the northern portion (upstream of Jackson Highway) of the Morrison Creek Mining Reach, in Sacramento County, California, is proposed. The project site is one of the few remaining sources of construction grade aggregates (sand and gravel) in Sacramento County. Aggregates are used extensively as a foundation and road base material in all types of road pavement and construction concrete. Aggregates are essential to the construction and repair of existing infrastructure. In Sacramento County, demand for aggregates is increasing with the population growth of the area. The project proponents are two mine operators, Granite Construction Company and Teichert Aggregates, who submitted three separate applications for land use entitlements to mine approximately 1,233 acres on three adjoining properties. The three properties are known as the Aspen VI, Granite I, Aspen V/VA sites, and collectively they represent the project site. The project would continue and extend surface mining operations in the area, and provide an estimated 68 million tons of aggregate from the areas proposed for mining. This amount would represent approximately 41 percent of the remaining likely supply in the Sacramento region. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Local aggregate sources would help meet the demand for aggregate material and avoid the need for more expensive aggregate materials from other sources. The lower grade of the proposed pits could cause head cutting of Morrison Creek, resulting in a decrease in peak flow and beneficial flood control effects. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During construction, the project could cause erosion damage to the Highway 16 bridge and roadway. Machinery and equipment used in gravel mining operations could be flooded during winter months, potentially exposing surface water to contamination; contaminated surface water could percolate through the pit floor and infiltrate the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin aquifer. Post-mining reclamation plans would include agricultural uses on the gravel pit floor in addition to habitat and open space areas. Agricultural practices could involve the use of pesticides, herbicides and machinery that could introduce toxic contamination to surface water. The project would disturb a cultural resource which could be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and result in mining a geologic formation commonly associated with fossil discoveries. Under the proposed action, some 25 acres of vernal pool, 15 acres of seasonal swale, 1.5 acres of riparian woodland, and 1,100 acres of non-native grassland would be destroyed.

Preparation date: April 15, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF STATE ROUTE 385 FROM MT. PLEASANT ROAD TO SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40, FAYETTE AND SHELBY COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36399076; 5742 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, access-controlled facility extending from Mt. Pleasant Road near Collierville to south of Interstate 40, located in Shelby and Fayette counties, Tennessee, is proposed. The facility would be 17 miles long and generally run parallel to the Shelby-Fayette county line. It would complete the final link of State Route (SR) 385 and provide a semi-circumferential loop for Memphis and Shelby County. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives (Alternative A and Alternative B) would be constructed on new location as a divided four-lane, access-controlled highway. Access to the project would be provided at intersections with state highways, except Route 205. Bridge structures would be required for the crossing of the Wolf River as well as smaller tributaries and the Norfolk Southern rail line near SR 57. The roadway would consist of two 12-foot-wide traffic lanes and a 12-foot-wide outside shoulder in each direction, separated by a 48-foot-wide median. Both build alternatives would begin at the same point south Collierville and proceed northerly to the same termination point south of I-40; however, for most of its length, Alternative B would follow a more easterly alignment, just within the Fayette County line. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve local and regional accessibility and traffic service, upgrade service for a rapidly developing area, reduce congestion on existing highways, improve safety and operating conditions in the transportation corridor, and enhance future planned growth and development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the build alternatives would displace up to three commercial establishments, nine residences, 623 acres of farmland, and 22 acres of wetlands. The build alternatives would each encroach on the Wolf River floodplain, but the encroachment would not be considered significant.

Preparation date: April 15, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR H, ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA, TO INTERSTATE 81, VIRGINIA. AN - 36407768; 5743 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway with partial control of access extending 100 miles from Elkins, West Virginia, to just west of the Virginia state line in northeastern West Virginia is proposed. The corridor would traverse mountainous terrain in portions of the West Virginia counties of Grant, Hardy, Randolph, and Tucker. The highway would complete Corridor H of the Appalachian Development Highway System, improving east-west access as well as connecting several of the existing north-south highway systems. The original proposal involved connecting the corridor with I-81 in Virginia, but following the release of two draft supplements, the Commonwealth of Virginia decided not to proceed with the build alternatives. This final EIS compares the preferred alignment (Line A) with an upgrade local roads alternative and a No-Build Alternative. Line A would bypass Elkins to the north, would bypass Kerens to the east, and pass through the Monongahela and George Washington national forests. The highway would end just west of the Virginia state line, where it would tie into Route 55, which would connect with I-81 near Strasburg, Virginia. The estimated construction cost of the West Virginia segment is $951.7 million; the Virginia segment, if ever constructed, would cost $122.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would enhance the economic development of central West Virginia by improving its access to eastern and midwestern markets. It would reduce east-west travel time by up to 40 percent for automobiles and 48 percent for trucks; furthermore, the accident rate would be reduced by 36 percent, and fatalities by 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements in West Virginia would displace 52 residences, four commercial establishments, 438 acres of farmland, 37.2 acres of wetlands, and over 6,000 wildlife habitat units. The highway corridor would encroach on 46.2 acres of flood zone and adversely affect 322 cultural resources.

Preparation date: April 12, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 14/52 CORRIDOR, OLMSTEAD COUNTY, MINNESOTA. AN - 36403985; 5737 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of an approximately 10-mile-long section of TH 14 /52 from Olmstead CSAH 14 (75th Street NW) to TH 63 (Broadway) through the western portion of Rochester, Minnesota, is proposed. North of 55th Street NW, the project area is primarily rural. The major changes to the roadway would occur between 41st Street NW and 16th Street SW, which is considered the core area of the project. The project would improve the existing four-lane highway in order to provide two through lanes in each direction and room in the median for future transportation use. It would also involve upgrading the interchange of TH 14 West and TH 52, the interchange of 19th Street NW and TH 52, the interchange of 2nd Street SW/6th Street SW and TH 14/52, the improvement of several other exit and exit ramps on TH 14/52, and the reconstruction of some of the existing frontage road system. It would also include facilities to accommodate bicyclist and pedestrian needs in the corridor. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of April 1994. The build alternatives differ from one another by the traffic patterns established along frontage roads. Under Alternative 1, one-way frontage roads would be provided from 41st Street NW to 6th Street SW. Under Alternative 2, two-way frontage roads would be provided from 37th Street NW to 19th Street NW and one-way frontage roads from 19th Street NW to 6th Street SW. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), two-way frontage roads would be provided between 37th Street NW and 7th Street NW and one-way frontage roads between 2nd Street SW and 6th Street SW. A determination has not yet been made whether to construct a single diamond or a single point diamond interchange in the 19th Street NW interchange area. Estimated construction costs range from $61.2 million to $80.6 million, depending on the alternative selected. 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 replacement of deficient pavement and bridges would improve traffic safety and efficiency along the corridor. The frontage road system, which is confusing to drivers because of the mixture of one-way and two-way frontage roads, and several intersections with capacity deficiencies, would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the proposed action would displace up to 93 residences, 45 businesses, and the schoolyard attached to Folwell School. Under the alternative of one-way frontage road with crossings at 26th Street NW and 14th Street NW, some increase in traffic on residential streets would occur.

AN - 36396803; 5728 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of harbor development at Chignik, Alaska, located on the Pacific side of the Alaska Peninsula at the head of Anchorage Bay, is proposed. Since Chignik is accessible only by air or sea, no boat launching facilities would be required. One structure would be needed to provide necessary protection for the inner harbor. A 940-foot-long north breakwater and a 1,120-foot-long south breakwater would be developed for a six-foot design wave height. The 1-vertical-to-1.5-horizontal side slope would be stable; the design crest elevation would be 18.5 feet above mean lower low water. The nine-acre mooring area would provide protective moorage for 105 commercial fishing vessels. The entrance and access channel area would be approximately 1.9 acres; the side slopes would not need stabilization because the breakwaters would provide protection against erosive effects of waves. The length-to-width ratio of the basin would be 3.2. Circulation would be improved by several design characteristics. The entrance would be aligned so that the inflow direction is parallel to the long axis of the basin, designed to allow two-way traffic for the 85-foot design vessel. Initial dredging would remove 317,600 cubic yards (cy); no maintenance dredging would be required. A 4.4-acre staging area would be needed for minimal parking, gangway access, and some storage. The total area covered would be 26 acres. The project would require 22,400 cy of armor rock, which is to be quarried from an undeveloped rock source located in the Castle Bay area. This final supplement to the final EIS of January 1988 considers realigning the north breakwater and reconfiguring the inner harbor in order to avoid conflict with the runway approach zone for the nearby airport. Total project costs are estimated at $10.4 million to construct, with a benefit-to-cost ratio of 2.0. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the harbor would provide year-round moorage for fishing vessels. The breakwater and inner harbor facilities would be designed for a 50-year storm event. The harbor would allow the local fishing fleet year-round harborage in Chignik. Residents in the area would be less dependent on private docks for anchorage and storage. A harbor would benefit the economy of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Indirect adverse effects to wildlife would be caused by close proximity to the harbor, such as increased noise, littering, and human traffic. Intertidal/subtidal habitat would be lost by dredge and fill activities. There would be a significant adverse impact on locally-used clam beds. Harbor-related pollutants could enter harbor waters. Passerines, waterfowl, shorebirds, and seabirds could be dislocated because of construction activities and harbor operation. Maintenance dredging would be necessary over the life of the project.

Multiple surface-geophysical techniques were employed to verify the geologic significance of two photolinear features at the study site. Interpretation of the geophysical data was constrained by using multiple geophysical methods, site lithologic data and information obtained in previous studies of photolinear features in West-central Florida. Closely spaced horizontal-loop electromagnetic (HLEM) and very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF) tilt-angle data were used to locate geophysical anomalies associated with the fracture zone. Resistivity profiling data correlate well with the results of the HLEM and VLF methods. The optimum-offset, seismic-reflection technique accurately delineates the large-scale fracture zone; however resolution is insufficient for detailed stratigraphic interpretation. Self-potential data show a negative-streaming potential associated with the center of the fracture zone. Microgravity data along a section of the fracture zone indicate lateral variations in density that correlate well with anomalies identified with the other geophysical methods. Future studies of photolinears in West-central Florida should use high-density VLF and HLEM surveys as rapid reconnaissance techniques to locate anomalies associated with photolinears. High-resolution, shallow, seismic reflection, resistivity, SP and gravity methods can be used to provide additional correlation. Geophysical and lithologic data from the study site are incorporated into a geologic model of the fracture zone. Data suggest that the two photolinears are related to a large-scale fracture zone in the Floridan Aquifer. The fracture zone appears to be greater than 700 m wide with a 100 m wide sand-filled bedrock low. The bedrock low is flanked by zones of higher bulk density approximately 200-400 m wide. The zones of higher bulk density are interpreted as zones of recrystallized limestone caused by the precipitation of calcite along the fracture zone. The recrystallized limestone zones appear to host multiple limestone pinnacles and clay-filled fractures. The observed photolinears correspond to a sand-filled bedrock low and a zone of dense, recrystallized limestone adjacent to the bedrock low.

The bedrock surface (which represents the primary geologic target of this study) was imaged at each of three test areas on walkaway noise tests and CDP (common depth point) stacked data. Proven high resolution techniques were used to design and acquire data on this survey. Feasibility of the technique and minimum acquisition requirements were determined through evaluation and correlation of walkaway noise tests, CDP survey lines, and a downhole velocity check shot survey. Data processing and analysis revealed several critical attributes of shallow seismic data from APG that need careful consideration and compensation on reflection data sets. This survey determined: 1) the feasibility of the technique, 2) the resolution potential (both horizontal and vertical) of the technique, 3) the optimum source for this site, 4) the optimum acquisition geometries, 5) general processing flow, and 6) a basic idea of the acoustic variability across this site. Source testing involved an accelerated weight drop, land air gun, downhole black powder charge, sledge hammer/plate, and high frequency vibrator. Shallow seismic reflection profiles provided for a more detailed picture of the geometric complexity and variability of the distinct clay sequences (aquatards), previously inferred from drilling to be present, based on sparse drill holes and basewide conceptual models. The seismic data also reveal a clear explanation for the difficulties previously noted in correlating individual, borehole-identified sand or clay units over even short distances. Geologic cross-sections derived from CDP stacked data and borehole logs suggest locally complex geometries and horizontally variable geologic contacts.

AN - 36407598; 5807 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of US 151 in and near the city of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is proposed. The highway is a major route linking recreational, residential, and commercial resources in Fond du Lac County with the surrounding region. The highway serves as the primary route between Madison and Fond du Lac and carries high volumes of out-of-town truck and local automobile traffic. In downtown Fond du Lac, US 151 has serious capacity and geometric deficiencies resulting in constricted turning movements, congestion, delays, lowered levels of service, truck-automobile- pedestrian conflicts, and accident rates four to ten times higher than the statewide urban average rates. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve constructing an 11-mile bypass around the south and east sides of Fond du Lac, extending from the intersection of the existing US 151 and CTH D, southwest of the city, to the intersection of the existing US 151 and STH 149, northeast of the city near Peebles. The proposed highway would be an access-controlled, two-lane facility built on a four-lane right-of-way with a 50-foot median. Another two lanes would be built when traffic volumes warranted their construction. The two build alternatives (Alternative 1 and Alternative 1-1A-1) would follow identical alignments throughout most of their proposed lengths; however, near the southeastern corner of the city, Alternative 1-1A-1 would dip to the south and east in order to avoid impacting a subdivision and campground. Consequently, this alternative would be 0.8 miles longer than Alternative 1. The recommended alternative for that portion of the project east of US 41 would be a combination of Alternative 1 and Alternative 1-1A-1; the preferred alternative for that portion of the project west of US 41 will be presented in a separate final EIS. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated form, includes corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion and decrease accident potential within the city of Fond du Lac, reducing downtown traffic by an estimated 2,700 vehicles per day by the year 2020. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 1 would require the relocation of five residences and one business, displace 304 acres of farmland and 4.6 acres of wetlands, and adversely affect two archaeological sites. Alternative 1-1A-1 would require the relocation of two residences and one business, displace 322 acres of farmland and 5.5 acres of wetlands, and adversely affect three archaeological sites and one historical property. The alignments under both alternatives would cross the state-owned Wild Goose Recreational Trail.

Preparation date: March 26, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY (WESTERN SECTION), 16.7 MILES FROM US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36407578; 5800 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the western section of the Northern Beltway, a loop roadway in western Forsyth County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project would extend from Stratford Road (US 158) southwest of Winston-Salem to US 52 in the north, near Rural Hall. The facility would connect with the eastern section of the Northern Beltway at US 52. When completed, the two facilities would serve as a loop around the north side of Winston-Salem. The project is scheduled for construction in four phases, with right-of-way acquisitions beginning in federal fiscal year (FFY) 1996 and construction starting in FFY 1998. Nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The eight build alternatives would consist of two feasible general corridors for construction within the Muddy Creek Basin, with two potential northern end points and two possible crossover segments in the vicinity of US 421. The proposed facility would be a multilane, divided roadway, with full control of access. The design speed would be 70 mph. Except at the southern end point, all access to the proposed facility would be limited to grade-separated interchanges. Projected traffic in design year 2015 is 25,400 to 48,800 vehicles per day for the westernmost alternative, and 30,300 to 57,000 vehicles per day for the easternmost alternative. Six lanes would be required for the westernmost alternative between US 421 and Robinhood Road. The easternmost alternative would require six lanes from US 421 to Yadkinville Road. The remainder of the project would have four lanes. The preferred alternative route (designated C3-WEST-B) would follow the eastern corridor south of US 421, the western corridor between US 421 and Behania-Tobaccoville Road, and the eastern corridor between Bethania-Tobaccoville Road and US 52. The project would meet the Eastern section of the Northern Beltway at the NC 66 Connector and US 52. The estimated costs for project alternatives are $217.9 million to $247.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in improved transportation flows and reduced congestion on the principal radial arteries throughout the area. Air quality would improve under the build alternatives, compared with the level under the No-Build Alternative, by the year 2015; vehicles would be diverted from congested arterials with traffic signals to a continuous-flow facility without signals. A potential benefit provided by the alignments adjacent to Silas and Muddy creeks would be the purchase of land and the construction of green-way facilities for donation to Forsyth County as a transportation enhancement measure. Suitable areas would range in size from approximately 40 acres to approximately 550 acres. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in 289 residential and 10 business relocations. Approximately 20 percent of the residential relocations would adversely affect minority families. Major floodplain and floodway encroachment along Silas and Muddy creeks would result from all alternatives. Encroachments into the 100-year floodplain would adversely affect 98 acres. Temporary adverse water quality impacts would result from increased sediment loading associated with construction. The number of residences with unacceptable noise impacts would decrease from 98 to 44 after noise abatement barriers are erected. Two properties that are listed in, or are eligible for being listed in, the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected, and there would be adverse archaeological impacts as well. Biotic communities, including existing vegetation, wetland communities, and associated wildlife, would be adversely affected by all alternatives. The rights-of-way requirements for the project would comprise 1,201 acres, including 575 acres of forest land, 252 acres of agricultural lands, and 13 acres of wetlands.

In an effort to develop better remediation technologies, Research and Development studies have been initiated under the Installation Restoration Program to develop effective, efficient, and economical solutions to solve military contamination problems. One area identified as being deficient regarding metal contaminated soil is that of metal speciation. This report was initiated to investigate the state-of-the-art development for metal speciation. This report presents the results of an in depth literature review of methodologies available for metal speciation in soils. Three main areas are presented including extraction techniques, instrumental methods, and soil solution techniques for metal speciation. This literature review indicated that there is a large volume of studies that have investigated extraction methodology for metal speciation. Details of the extraction procedures as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each extraction method are summarized. This report also presents a quick overview of newly developed instrumental methods for surface analysis for metal species determination. A useful table summarizing surface techniques and a brief description of the technology are presented.

AN - 36412922; 5771 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam, the construction and improvement of levees, and the development of associated facilities in order to provide flood protection to the American River watershed in the Sacramento area of California are proposed. The American River basin drains approximately 2,100 square miles along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in northern California. The study area for this project includes the lower American River between Folsom Dam and the Sacramento River, the Natomas area of Sacramento, the American River and its tributaries flowing into Folsom Reservoir, and the Sacramento River from the American River upstream to the Fremont Weir. The Yolo Bypass and its immediate tributaries and distributaries are also included in the investigation as areas receiving hydraulic mitigation. Under the selected plan presented in this final supplement to the draft EIS of December 1991, a flood detention dam of concrete gravity design would be constructed near the city of Auburn with a reservoir storage capacity of 894,000 acre-feet. Impounded water would reach a maximum elevation of 942 feet above sea level and cover approximately 5,450 acres. From streambed, at an elevation of 500 feet above sea level, the dam would be 508 feet high and detain floodwaters up to 452 feet deep. The dam would be 2,700 feet long at the crest; its width would be 400 feet at the base and would decrease to 25 feet at the crest. Dam construction would require six million cubic yards of aggregate material. Outlet capacity for the dam would be provided by 20 rectangular box sluices, with a combined total capacity of 77,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The 540-foot-long spillway would be located in the center of the dam and have a design capacity of 810,000 cfs. Other project components would include the relocation of 1.8 miles of Highway 49, with a bridge to be built over the North Fork at river mile 49.1; and the improvement of levees along 12 miles of the Sacramento River in Natomas and along 24 miles of the lower American River. The estimated first cost of the project is $949.0 million. This alternative differs significantly from the preferred plans presented in the final EIS and draft supplement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide 200-year flood protection in the American River floodplain. Extensive development within the floodplain would be afforded maximum protection against flood flows. Levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in local streams and drainage systems located east of Natomas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace 1,062 acres of oak woodland, 62 acres of chaparral, 72 acres of mixed pine, 201 acres of nonnative grassland, and 136 acres of riparian habitat, for a total of 1,533 acres. Intermittent inundation of the canyon area would disturb terrestrial habitat, including elderberry shrubs and beetles. Inundation would also disturb up to 180 cultural resources. Dam operation would also threaten fish inhabiting the reservoir and the lower reaches of the dam.

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 suing land surface erosion computations to develop the inflow sediment load for a river sedimentation model, specifically, HEC-6. JF - Technical Papers.

AN - 36407644; 5614 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading and realignment of a six-mile section of US 34 from the US 34/I-29 interchange in Mills County, Iowa, to US 75 in Cass or Sarpy County, Nebraska, is proposed. The proposed project would involve constructing a new bridge over the Missouri River, replacing a structure that is 65 years old and structurally and functionally deficient. In addition, the realigned highway would bypass the town of Plattsmouth, Nebraska. The existing highway restricts traffic flow, causes safety problems, routes heavy vehicles through the center of the town, and restricts the efficient flow of commerce between southwest Iowa and southeast Nebraska. A trip from US 34 to I-29 currently takes about 14 minutes at an average speed of 26 miles per hour; if traffic flow were unrestricted, that same trip would take 6.5 minutes. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. One build alternative would involve the construction of a four-lane, controlled access rural expressway, beginning at Interchange 35 on I-29, crossing the Missouri River, passing the northern fringe of the village of LaPlatte, then intersecting with US 75. The other build alternative would involve the construction of a two-lane rural highway, also with controlled access, beginning at Interchange 32 on I-29, crossing the Missouri River, passing the southern limits of Plattsmouth, then intersecting with US 75. The estimated costs of the build alternatives are $39.5 million and $21.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The replacement of the deficient highway and bridge would improve traffic safety and efficiency along the corridor, enhance the regional highway network, and provide economic opportunities for the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the proposed action would displace up to 177 acres of prime farmland, 12 acres of wetlands, 28 acres of forest, and four residences.

Preparation date: February 26, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED NEW WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR, JOHNSON AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, ILLINOIS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1995). AN - 36398936; 5610 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,172-acre water supply reservoir to be located near the community of Creal Springs, Illinois, is proposed. The reservoir would provide water to the city of Marion and several neighboring developments. Marion is a community in south central Illinois, located 100 air miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. The Lake of Egypt Water District, a rural area located south of Marion, has in principle an agreement with Marion to purchase up to three million gallons of water if a new water supply source were developed. The current water source, Marion City Lake located south of the city limits on Limb Creek, lacks the capacity to meet anticipated demands; its supply is routinely supplemented by pipeline from Herrin Lake, which also has a limited capacity. In addition, significant treatment is required to ensure that the water from the Marion City Lake meets federal standards. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of July 1995. Under the proposed action, the reservoir would be created on Sugar Creek; the dam would be located one mile south of the community of Creal Springs and 10 miles southeast of Marion. The lake would have a dependable yield of 8.0 million gallons per day; it would require a 12.2-mile-long pipeline to connect to the water treatment in Marion. For much of its length, this pipeline would follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way; 14 stream crossings would be necessary. An additional eight miles of pipeline would be needed to transport water to the Lake of Egypt Water District treatment facility. Other alternatives under consideration include the purchasing of treated water from nearby communities and building new pipelines to nearby lakes. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers a new alternative that would involve constructing a pipeline to transport raw or treated water from Rend Lake, a large multipurpose reservoir located on Big Muddy River, to the Lake of Egypt Water District. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the reservoir would provide a long-term dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities. It would also provide opportunities for fishing and boating. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction for raw water from Rend Lake would require the clearing of 26 acres of woodland, 30 acres of cropland, and five acres of wetlands. By contrast, the proposed action would require the clearing of nine acres of woodland and 14 acres of cropland, and the filling of one acre of wetlands. The new reservoir would inundate 533 acres of agricultural lands, 594 vegetated acres, and 28 individual wetland sites comprising over 40 acres. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, would be lost as a result of reservoir development. Some 11 historic and prehistoric sites have been identified in the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36402981; 5608 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.5-mile, north-south, multilane, divided highway linking Interstate 55 (I-55) to I-80, located near Chicago, Illinois, is proposed. The highway, to be known as Federal Aid Primary Route 340, would pass through Cook, DuPage, and Will counties, 25 miles southwest of the downtown Chicago area. The major areas of controversy concern the location of interchanges and the protection of the north bluff area of the Des Plaines River Valley, which includes a creek, a nature preserve, and two forest preserves. Numerous alternatives evaluated in the early stages of the project were found to be inadequate; these include a No Action Alternative, the Transportation System Management Alternative, the Mass Transit Alternative, an upgrade of the existing highway, and an expressway build alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be a freeway/tollway with interchanges at I-80, US 6, Illinois Route 7 (159th Street), and 143rd Street/Illinois Route 171 (Archer Avenue, 127th Street, and I-55). Densely populated subdivisions would be avoided, and sufficient right-of-way would be acquired to allow local agencies to construct a bikeway outside of access control and right-of-way limits. Under current plans, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority would construct and finance the freeway as a toll facility. Additional properties threatened by the development would include the Lustron House, an architecturally significant building on 135th Street, a recreational trail following the Des Plaines River, and a canal that runs parallel to the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would ease suburban traffic congestion by improving the fragmented highway network. Ending the project at I-80 would provide access to the major east-west route serving southern communities such as New Lenox and Joliet. The freeway would result in reduced travel time and distances, energy savings, and reduced emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 52 residences, three businesses, one structure eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and 10.4 acres of wetlands. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect several locations along the project.

AN - 36402972; 5605 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for San Pedro Creek in Pacifica, California, is proposed. Pacifica is located in northern San Mateo County, just south of Daly City and north of the town of Montara. San Pedro Creek is located in the southern portion of Pacifica and provides drainage for the San Pedro valley; this watershed has an area of approximately eight square miles. The creek discharges into the Pacific Ocean approximately 12 miles south of San Francisco. The lower portion of the creek has flooded on several occasions since the 1950s, most recently in 1986. The 1986 flood resulted in significant damage to public structures, including approximately 300 homes and commercial buildings. The proposed action would seek to protect structures in the lower portion of the creek's drainage (particularly an area between Highway 1 and Adobe Drive) and to restore a former wetland that was lost due to past development in the area. More specifically, it would involve replacing the Adobe Bridge with a modified two box culvert design and incorporating fish passage structures and wet and dry box culverts designed to handle normal and peak flows, installing a large underground pipe beginning at Adobe Bridge to divert a portion of the creek flow in a neighborhood that has flooded in the past, constructing a floodwall behind Linda Mar shopping center and an earthen berm immediately upstream, creating an above-ground excavated floodway on the south side of San Pedro Creek and an eight-acre riparian habitat on both sides of Highway 1 through which San Pedro Creek would meander, and connecting some existing storm water culverts with the proposed diversion pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would substantially reduce the flooding potential along the lower portion of the creek and also improve biological habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project construction would have temporary but significant adverse impacts on water quality, biological resources, aesthetics, noise, and transportation.

Preparation date: February 21, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILMINGTON HARBOR CHANNEL WIDENING, WILMINGTON, BRUNSWICK AND NEW HANOVER COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1994). AN - 36408183; 5601 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of Wilmington Harbor in New Hanover and Brunswick counties, North Carolina, is proposed. Wilmington Harbor is a federal navigation project located along the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear rivers in southeastern North Carolina. The project area extends approximately 31 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean to the Port of Wilmington. The existing harbor channel, which is 400 feet wide and 38 feet deep, is generally satisfactory for one-way traffic; however, delays often occur because no passing lane exists and today's deep-draft vessels exceed the design criteria of the channel. In addition, river pilots have identified five turns and bends where maneuvering problems occur and improvements are needed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of March 1994. Under the selected plan, the existing navigation channel would be widened to 600 feet over a 6.2-mile reach of Wilmington Harbor. In addition, the five difficult turns would be widened by 150 to 200 feet each. The additional width of the passing lanes and the improved turns would be dredged to the existing channel depth of 38 feet, with one foot of required overdepth and one foot of allowable overdepth also being dredged (for a total depth of 40 feet). The turn improvements would be made by using a pipeline dredge, which involves dredging with a cutterhead and pumping the dredged material to a diked disposal area. Bucket and barge dredging would be used to build and maintain the passing lane. The material dredged from the passing lane would be disposed of at the designated offshore disposal site located three nautical miles south of the mouth of Cape Fear River. Approximately 4.08 million cubic yards of material would be dredged from the passing lanes and the turns. Maintenance dredging would be conducted at intervals of two to four years. This draft supplement to the final EIS identifies alternative disposal sites for dredged material, examines the effects of rock blasting on the estuarine environment, and presents a blast monitoring plan. Geological surveys and other data indicate that up to 70,000 cubic yards of rock could be nondredgeable in turn 2, turn 3, and turn 4. Up to 212 explosions could be necessary within a blast area of 20.2 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel widening would allow for the passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays and the operating costs of shippers. The modification of the harbor would make it more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for the area. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.5. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the estuarine bottom would be converted to a channel, temporary increases in turbidity would occur, and the shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species, could be adversely affected, as a result of the blasting necessary for rock removal. The grading and diking process would result in the loss of 6.3 acres of high marsh and 0.5 acres of intertidal marsh, although these losses would be offset by the creation of new wetlands. Blasting would adversely affect the shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles, marine mammals, the West Indian manatee, and other aquatic species.

Preparation date: February 16, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL FEASIBILITY STUDY, PEARL RIVER BASIN, JACKSON METROPOLITAN AREA; HINDS, MADISON, AND RANKIN COUNTIES, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36407238; 5589 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for the floodplain of the Pearl River in Jackson, Mississippi, is proposed. The Pearl River Basin, which is located in the southern central portion of Mississippi and in a small part of southeastern Louisiana, drains an area of 8,760 square miles. Within the study area the Pearl River is a narrow, shallow river flowing over a sand, gravel, and mud substrate. Its major tributaries in the study area include Richland, Caney, Lynch, Town, and Hanging Moss creeks. Heavy and intense rainfall in the upper Pearl River basin often causes headwater flooding; average annual flood damages in the Jackson metropolitan area are $12 million. The area experienced its most severe flooding in 1979, which was considered a 200-year flood event. Six alternative plans involving levee construction and four plans involving the removal of floodplain vegetation are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan would involve the construction of 21.9 miles of new levees and 3,720 feet of floodwall, and the raising of 10.5 miles of existing levees, along with appurtenant floodgates and pumping plants. Floodgates and drainage structures would be located at strategic locations necessary to pass interior runoff. Under the recommended plan, rights-of-way requirements would involve the conversion of 1,024 wooded acres and 481 cleared acres. Most of the forested acreage is bottomland hardwood habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would reduce potential floods to the Jackson area, compensate for adverse impacts to fish and wildlife, and benefit the economic growth potential for the area by reducing the risk of flooding. The plan is economically justifiable, having a benefit-cost ratio of 1.0 to 1.39. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would result in the loss of 3,408 average annual habitat units for various birds and small mammals; the conversion of 931 acres of wetlands; the clearing of 168 acres of overbank; the potential loss of habitat for the ringed sawback turtle; and the acquisition and displacement of 32 businesses on Lakeland Drive between the Jackson and Flowood levee segments.

AN - 36385700; 5581 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 15.7-mile section of Missouri Highway Route 21 (Route 21) in Jefferson County, Missouri, is proposed. Built in the early 1930s, Route 21 originally served as a rural highway linking the communities of De Soto and Hillsboro to St. Louis. Advances in vehicular technology, increased use of the highway as a commuter and trucking route, and the changing demographics of the area have strained the operation of the facility. The highway today is characterized by substandard horizontal and vertical alignments, blind driveways, and intersections with arterial routes. The proposed action would improve the existing four-lane freeway section near the community of Otto on the north to approximately Route H/N near De Soto on the south. A No Build Alternative and ten build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve the construction of a limited-access-controlled, four-lane divided highway on a new alignment that is located just to the west of the existing route. At-grade intersections would be provided as required for private property access and would be determined at the time of preliminary roadway design. Interchanges would be constructed at the following locations: existing Route 21 (in two locations), an extension of Route A, Route B, and an extension of Route 110. The estimated cost of the project is $101.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would correct deficiencies in the existing highway, improve the safety of travel within the corridor, and reduce the number of traffic accidents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 45 residences, 6 businesses, 19 hectares of school property, 251 hectares of farmland, and 2.2 hectares of wetlands. Up to five sites would experience noise in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: February 7, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TELLURIDE SKI AREA PROPOSED EXPANSION PROJECT, UNCOMPAHGRE NATIONAL FOREST, SAN MIGUEL COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36403857; 5569 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Telluride Ski Area in the Uncompahgre National Forest in San Miguel County, Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is located directly south of the town of Telluride, approximately 330 miles southwest of Denver. Since 1971, it has been operated through a special-use permit issued to the Telluride Company; the ski area encompasses approximately 3,761 acres of national forest land and 326 acres of private land. Under the proposal submitted by the applicant, additional lifts and associated trails would be constructed and additional restaurants would be constructed in order to accommodate an expected increase in demand. Under the agency's preferred alternative, the management plan would generally resemble the applicant's proposal but minor modifications were made in order to minimize social, physical, and environmental effects. Under this plan, six lift pods with associated runs, trails, and gladed areas would be constructed; lift number 6 and its trail and run system would be realigned along the upper terminal; four restaurants would be developed and an existing restaurant would be expanded within the special use permit area; off-season recreational activities would be expanded in order to provide additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding and continued hang gliding access; and a lodge and series of small cabins would be developed in the Prospect Basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would provide new and improved ski facilities, increase the size and diversity of the existing resort, expand summer recreational opportunities, and enhance amenities of the overall area. The project would generate considerable revenue and stimulate the local economy; the increase in off-season opportunities would help to stabilize the year-round population and incomes. The project would be in compliance with the State Implementation Plan and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities, would adversely affect 665 acres of common vegetation; reduce cover for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion; and displace 7.6 acres of wetlands. Cleared or graded areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. The potential for avalanches would increase at some sites.

A three-tiered test system was developed to meet these objectives. Tier I consisted of a previously developed screening test; this was used to determine the presence of TNT-degrading microorganisms and cosubstrates required to support microbial degradation. Tier II consisted of a shake flask test that was developed to determine the combinations of nutrients, cosubstrates, and/or surfactants required to enhance TNT removal with minimal production of undesirable products. Results of shake flask tests indicated that low levels of nutrients generally enhanced the number of microorganisms while supporting and stimulating the treatment process. High levels of nutrients sometimes stimulated, but at other times inhibited, growth and treatment.

AN - 36407560; 5565 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an approximately four-mile-long corridor extending from the interchange with SR 655 to just north of Mount Pleasant State Route (SR) 322, located in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. Within the study area, the existing SR 322 is a two-lane roadway linking two four-lane facilities; it is one of the few remaining unimproved sections of SR 322 between the cities of Harrisburg and State College. The project area has experienced significant levels of development in recent years, and this growth has resulted in increased traffic. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The build alternatives would include two bypass alternatives, an upgrade of existing SR 322 alternative, and an upgrade and combination bypass alternative. Under the selected alternative (Green Option 1), the facility would begin just north of the intersection with SR 655, then head northwest on new alignment over a proposed bridge at Tea Creek, then northeast between the Church Hill community and the Mifflin County Airport. The facility would then continue across the Kishacoquillas Valley, approximately 700 feet west of an industrial complex. An interchange with a connector road would be included in order to provide commuters and commercial traffic access to this industrial area. Directly west of Milroy, the facility would head in a northerly direction, with bridges over Lingle Creek and Laurel Creek and an underpass of existing SR 322, just south of the Mount Pleasant residential community. Traffic then would be routed northeast, bypassing Mount Pleasant on the northeast side, with a bridge over T839. The facility would tie into existing SR322 near the access road to the Laurel Creek Reservoir and Filtration Plant. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated form, includes 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 provide a system link between two major highways; improve mobility for those who live and work in the study area as well as visitors to the State College area; improve traffic and safety conditions, primarily by separating local and through traffic; and also improve access for emergency vehicles. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace fewer residences and businesses than under any of the other build alternatives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace four residences, 168.3 acres of productive farmlands, and 8.1 acres of wetlands; under this alternative, the facility would displace more wetland acres than under any of the other build alternatives.

AN - 36407280; 5563 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an approximately nine-mile-long multilane, limited-access roadway extending State Route (SR) 312 from its current terminus at SR 207 to a connection with US 1 (SR 5) just north of the city of Saint Augustine in Saint Johns County, Florida, is proposed. The proposed SR 312 extension would serve primarily as a bypass route around the congested segments of US 1 in the St. Augustine area. It would serve a secondary function as a north-south traffic artery in the developing areas southwest and west of the city, and provide an alternate route linking the beach areas south of the city with SR 207, County Road 214, and SR 16. Three design alternatives are considered in this final EIS. All alignments would follow a preferred corridor that would minimize adverse impacts to the Glimpse of Glory neighborhood and the Fourmile Swamp. Alternative A would provide a four-lane, limited-access freeway, with four interchange locations, within a 300-foot right-of-way. Alternative B1 (the recommended alternative) and Alternative B2 would both provide limited-access rural arterials with six lanes from SR 207 to SR 16 and four lanes from SR 16 to US 1 north within 250-foot rights-of-way. Alternative B1 would have four access locations and Alternative B2 would have eight. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would improve north-south traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, create safer driving conditions, and spur economic development at major crossroads. It would provide a projected average in 2015 of 36,000 daily trips for areas south of SR 16 and 18,000 daily trips for areas north of SR 16. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would displace 12 to 18 houses, six businesses, and 75 to 93 acres of wetlands, depending on the alternative selected. The project would encroach on 42 acres of floodplains and 34 acres with a high probability of containing archaeological sites. One of these sites is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Three contaminated sites would be located within the project corridor. As many as four noise-sensitive residential sites could experience noise levels that approach or exceed federal standards. Operational impacts during construction would include air and noise pollution, and localized storm water runoff pollution.

Preparation date: January 29, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LONG-TERM CHANNEL MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THE FEDERAL HARBOR, AND A PERMIT APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT AND EXPAND BARGE TERMINAL FACILITIES, IN THE EAST CHANNEL OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, CRAWFORD COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36399820; 5557 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term plan for channel maintenance for the federal harbor in the East Channel of the Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, is proposed. In addition, Prairie Sand and Gravel, Inc., has applied for a permit to upgrade and expand an existing barge transloading facility on the north end of St. Feriole Island, and an adjacent area on the mainland known as the Swingle site. In the past, approximately 230 loaded barges left the existing facility each year. If the proposed expansion were approved, within a couple of years, up to 500 barges, the applicant estimated, could be handled at the facility each year. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed channel maintenance plan would provide a 100-foot-wide navigation channel between the northern end of the East Channel and the federal harbor at City Dock. In order to maintain the channel, the Corps of Engineers has proposed two dredge cuts. Cut 1 would involve dredging 2,500 cubic yards from the north end of the East Channel. Cut 2 would involve dredging immediately in front of City Dock; however, this operation would be deferred as a result of objections filed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The action alternatives would differ primarily in regard to the levels of barge traffic and maintenance dredging allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would facilitate navigation in the East Channel of the Mississippi River, and, as a result, the movement of grain and other commodities down the river. Facility expansion would stimulate the regional economy and increase incomes of Wisconsin farmers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased navigation and channel maintenance activities in the area would adversely affect aquatic resources, fish, and freshwater mussels, including the endangered Higgins' eye pearly mussel (L. higginsi). Dredging would also destroy or disturb habitat and benthic organisms. Archaeological sites on the Prairie du Chien terrace, such as those around the proposed harbor at the Swingle site, would probably be adversely affected by any further development in the area. Any increase in the size and scope of the barge maneuvering and staging areas would detract from the view of the river from the Iowa side.

Preparation date: January 26, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND OTHER PURPOSES, KISSIMMEE RIVER HEADWATERS REVITALIZATION; ORANGE, OSCEOLA, AND POLK COUNTIES, FLORIDA (INTEGRATED PROJECT MODIFICATION REPORT AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1991). AN - 36410263; 5550 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the Kissimmee River, located in central Florida, is proposed. The Kissimmee River Basin, which extends from the city of Orlando to Lake Okeechobee, is characterized by a degraded ecosystem that has resulted from water resource development by federal and local authorities dating back to the late 1800s. Federal basin improvements include channelization of the river between the communities of Kissimmee and Fort Basinger, authorized in 1902, and flood control improvements, authorized in 1954 as part of the comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Project. The Upper Basin flood control project includes channels and structures that control the flow regime of a system of 18 natural lakes. The Lower Basin works consist of a flood control canal, known as C-38, and six water control structures, known as S-65 structures, that step water down over the canal's 56 miles from Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee. As a result of project work, the original 103-mile-long meandering river, which inundated approximately 35,000 acres of wetlands over a broad floodplain, was reduced to a 56-mile canal that has successfully contained almost all flows since its completion. This channelization of flow, coupled with modifications of Lower Basin tributary watersheds and efficient control of flood waters and regulation of inflows from the upper basin, significantly altered the hydrologic characteristics of the ecosystem. This draft supplement to the final EIS of December 1991 considers structural and non-structural modifications to project works in the Upper Basin; the final EIS had focused on the Lower Basin. The recommended plan would involve the acquisition of 20,800 acres of land bordering Lake Hatchineha, Lake Kissimmee, Lake Cypress, and Lake Tiger in order to provide the necessary storage requirements for Kissimmee River restoration and Upper Basin wetlands expansion. Two flood control canals connecting the lakes would be enlarged to flatten the flood profile through the upper lakes and prevent excessive flooding. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $78.4 million, and the average annual cost is estimated at $6.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide increased and more natural fluctuations of water levels in the lakes expanding the existing peripheral marsh habitat. The plan would increase wetlands acreage by 7,236 acres in the Upper Basin, improving water quality and habitat conditions for numerous fish and wildlife species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although no primary lakeside structures would be flooded, numerous residences, businesses, and farms would be adversely affected by land acquisition and project developments, and project developments would require the relocation of boat launch ramps and utilities. The recommended plan for the Upper Basin would involve acquiring 7,578 acres of unimproved pasture and 4,008 acres of cropland and converting those lands to other uses. Flooding range lands would reduce cattle production by up to $400,000 per year.

Preparation date: January 24, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, FROM THE MARTIN/PALM BEACH COUNTY LINE TO LAKE WORTH INLET AND FROM SOUTH LAKE WORTH INLET TO THE BROWARD /PALM BEACH COUNTY LINE, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1987). AN - 36407137; 5544 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 Palm Beach County, 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 draft 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 1,680 feet of the project. The groin field would be designed to add stability to the shoreline immediately south of the Inlet. The proposed 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 would 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: Dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered species as manatees and sea turtles.

Preparation date: January 22, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CAROLINA BAYS PARKWAY, GEORGETOWN AND HORRY COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36401988; 5546 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway traversing the eastern portion of Horry County, South Carolina, running parallel to the Atlantic Coast just to the west of the Intercoastal Waterway, is proposed. The project would be located in the Grand Strand Area, one of the most popular resort areas in the nation. The area includes the communities of Atlantic Beach, Conway, Georgetown, and Myrtle Beach. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the roadway, to be known as the Carolina Bays Parkway, would be 40.8 miles long and provide for six lanes of traffic along the main line with fully-controlled access between US Route 17 and SC 9 and four lanes along the connectors crossing the Intracoastal Waterway with limited access. The connectors would improve access to the beach areas and would link the Parkway with Route 17 at three points: Main Street (North Myrtle Beach); Central Parkway, located between 62nd Avenue and 48th Avenue North (Myrtle Beach); and 21st Avenue North (Myrtle Beach). The estimated costs of Build Alternatives 1 and Build Alternative 3 are $631.2 and $780.8 million, respectively. Alternative 1 has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A controlled-access, high-speed highway within the corridor would improve north-south traffic movements, relieve congestion on the existing street network, and provide a safe and efficient highway link to move people, goods, and services more quickly and directly. The highway would help to support the construction of new tourist facilities and multi-use developments; an estimated $1 billion of such construction projects are planned for the next five years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Build Alternative 1 would displace 180 residences, 16 businesses, 582 acres of prime farmland, two historic sites, and 304 acres of wetlands. Build Alternative 3 would displace 145 residences, 55 businesses, 243 acres of prime farmland, and 357 acres of wetlands.

AN - 36407355; 5542 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a system operating strategy and a regional forum for the Columbia River system in order to allow interested parties other than federal agencies a role in making decisions involving power distribution and allocation within the region is proposed. The Bonneville Power Administration markets power generated from 12 hydro projects operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and two projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. This programmatic review was initiated in response to demands by Indian tribes and fish and wildlife agencies for consultation on matters involving system planning and operations; another factor was the recent designation of the Snake River sockeye salmon as an endangered species and the chinook salmon as a threatened species. Seven alternatives are considered in this final EIS in response to the salmon stocks issue, including operations prior to the Endangered Species Act designation; current system operations, including efforts to provide additional anadromous fish flows; flow augmentation to improve the chances of fish survival; the management of water levels at upstream storage projects to keep the reservoirs as full as possible for as long as possible; the drawdown of the reservoirs at the four projects on the lower Snake River to near natural river elevations in order to increase the velocity of water through the reservoir; a less extensive drawdown of the reservoirs along the lower Snake River; and setting spring and summer fish flow targets based on storage content and other factors (the preferred alternative). Under the preferred alternative, drawdowns would not exceed minimum operating pool on the lower Snake River. In high flow years, projects would spill water and fewer fish would be transported; in low flow years there would be less spill and more transport. This final EIS also proposes technical revisions to the Canadian Entitlement Allocation Agreements, and to renegotiate and renew the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement; current agreements are scheduled to expire in 1998 and 2003, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This programmatic review is an effort to develop comprehensive, multipurpose management of the Columbia River system, a management method that would be responsive to public concerns as well as to the demands for energy production and natural resources protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Introducing flow improvements to benefit migrating anadromous fish would diminish the effectiveness of the system for traditional river uses. Flow augmentation measures would require storing water in the winter, a time when it would ordinarily be used to generate electricity. A loss in power-generating efficiency would increase the costs of meeting electrical demand. Keeping upstream storage sites as full as possible would detract from downstream sites, which are popular with recreationists. Reservoir drawdowns would have adverse impacts on resident fish, disrupting their habitat, spawning, and food supply; drawdowns would also reduce the amount of water available for irrigation.

AN - 36409791; 5538 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a pumped storage hydroelectric project, located five miles west of the city of Las Vegas in Clark County, Nevada, is proposed. The project would be a self-contained, off-stream project that would transfer water back and forth from one reservoir to another in order to store or generate energy. The project, to be constructed by Blue Diamond Power Partners, would have an installed generating capacity of 200 megawatts (MW). The primary project facilities, including reservoirs, penstock, and powerhouse, would be new. The project would include a 31-acre upper reservoir located near the crest of Blue Diamond Hill, with a top dam elevation of 4,828 feet above mean sea level; a lower reservoir 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 and extend to an underground powerhouse which would contain two 100-MW reversible pump turbine units; two eight-foot-diameter 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; and project access roads. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed 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 proposed project would permanently alter 182 acres of public lands and commit those lands to energy production and transmission. That acreage would include about 104 acres of creosote bush scrub habitat; its value to wildlife would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Power Act of 1920, as amended (16 U.S.C. 791(a) et seq.).

Preparation date: January 18, 1996 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 THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1991). AN - 36396556; 5539 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. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of August 1991 considers 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. The estimated cost under the alternatives is $1.49 billion to $3.35 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the acquisition of 47.7 to more than 61.8 acres 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 significant numbers of residences and could result in the displacement of up to 13 businesses. All of the 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. Each candidate build alternative could adversely affect two or more of six properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Six submerged archaeological sites could be adversely affected.

Preparation date: January 18, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DELIVERY OF CANADIAN ENTITLEMENT. AN - 36399433; 5536 AB - PURPOSE: The delivery of electric power from the U.S. to Canada under terms of the Columbia River Treaty is proposed. The treaty, which was signed in 1961, required three storage dams to be constructed on the Columbia River system in Canada and one in the U.S. near the Canadian border; the purpose of the dams was to help control floods in both countries and enable dams downstream in the U.S. to produce additional power. Under the terms of the treaty, Canada and the U.S. must share the downstream power benefits equally. Canada sold its half of the extra power produced for 30-year periods to a consortium of U.S. utilities. The first 30-year sale will expire in 1998, when the first installment of the Canadian entitlement must be delivered to Canada. The treaty specifies that the entitlement must be delivered at a point near Oliver, British Columbia, unless another site is agreed upon; the Canadian entitlement is estimated to be 1,200 to 1,400 megawatts capacity. A subsequent interim agreement allows the entitlement to be delivered over existing facilities by 2003. Various options for the delivery of the Canadian entitlement are considered in this final EIS; most options would require the development of additional capacity by BPA, probably involving the construction of new combustion turbines, in order to meet contract obligations. The base case would involve full delivery at a site near Oliver and the construction of one new single-circuit 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line, up to 95 miles long on the U.S. side and 29 miles long on the Canadian side. Additional transmission lines would be needed in both countries by the end of the first and second decades of the 21st century. Other action alternatives under consideration would involve partial delivery at Blaine and U.S. purchase of the remainder of the Canadian entitlement; full purchase of the entitlement by Pacific Northwest (PNW) utilities; full purchase by Pacific Southwest utilities; and partial delivery of the entitlement at Blaine and Selkirk, and purchase of the remainder by Pacific Northwest utilities. Under the No Action Alternative, the Columbia River Treaty would be violated, thereby, causing unacceptable social, political, and legal consequences; therefore, it is not under consideration in this final EIS. The PNW full purchase alternative is the environmentally preferred alternative because it would not require new transmission line construction in the U.S. or Canada. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the base case and the action alternatives, U.S. obligations under the Columbia River Treaty would be fulfilled. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission lines would displace farmlands, wetlands, and wildlife habitat, and would probably result in rate increases for BPA customers; a double-circuit 500-kV line would cost $1.1 million per mile to construct. Under the proposed base case, the transmission line could increase the collision potential for bald eagles along the Columbia River. LEGAL MANDATES: Columbia River Treaty of 1961.

Preparation date: January 17, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF FORT ORD, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1993). AN - 36409873; 5523 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, is proposed. Fort Ord is an Army installation occupying approximately 28,000 acres adjacent to Monterey Bay in northern Monterey County, California, approximately 100 miles south 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 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 draft supplement considers two 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 two new reuse alternatives considered in this draft supplement would support 48,100 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: January 11, 1996 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVEMENT OF US ROUTE 61 AND US ROUTE 218 AND IOWA 394 (AVENUE OF THE SAINTS, CANTON, MISSOURI, TO MT. PLEASANT, IOWA), CLARK AND LEWIS COUNTIES, MISSOURI, AND HENRY AND LEE COUNTIES, IOWA. AN - 36402086; 5520 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 56-mile-long, four-lane highway between Canton, Missouri, and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, passing through portions of Lewis and Clark counties in Missouri and Lee and Henry counties in Iowa, is proposed. The proposed project would be part of the Avenue of the Saints, a four-lane highway that would connect the cities of St. Louis, Missouri, and St. Paul, Minnesota. The facility would be designed to either freeway or expressway standards in Missouri and to expressway standards in Iowa. A bridge over the Des Moines River would be constructed at the Missouri/Iowa border. Between Canton, Missouri, and Vincennes, Iowa, 12 alternatives are being considered: nine of these are freeway alternatives on new alignment; two are expressways that would use the same alignment as two of the freeway alternatives; and one alternative (the preferred alternative) would involve upgrading existing US 61, US 136 Spur, and Missouri Route B to expressway standards. Both eastern and western bypasses of Wayland, Missouri, are being considered; St. Francisville, Missouri, would be bypassed at one of two of locations west of the community. Between Vincennes and Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, two alternatives are being considered. These alternatives would differ only in the location of the proposed community bypass of Argyle, where two eastern bypasses of the community are being considered. The rural sections of these alternatives would consist of improving existing Iowa 394 and US 218 as expressways with at-grade intersections along an eastern bypass of Donnellson, Iowa. A preferred alternative for this portion of the project has not been selected. A No Action Alternative is also under consideration in this draft EIS. The estimated costs of the proposed project range from $75.8 to $112.4 million for the Canton-Vincennes portion, and $73.1 to $73.7 million for the Vincennes-Mt. Pleasant portion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide improved roadway capacity in anticipation of anticipated traffic volume increases, improved services for truck traffic, safety improvements, and improved alignment of the roadway. The project would also contribute to regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative in Missouri would involve the taking of 713 acres for right-of-way, displacing 8 residences, 3 businesses, 651 acres of farmland, and 3.2 acres of wetlands. Numerous historic sites and archaeological resources are located in the project area. The alternatives under consideration for the Iowa portion would involve the taking of up to 1,063 acres for right of way, displacing 28 residences, 554 acres of farmland, and 12.4 acres of wetlands.

The purpose of the surveys was (1) to detect and delineate the locations of lithium batteries reported to be buried in SWMU 14100 and (2) to detect and delineate the locations of electrical capacitors reported to be buried at SWMU 17104. Electromagnetic, magnetic, and ground penetrating radar survey methods were used at SWMU 14100. The size, shape, and intensity of the anomalies are consistent with the size, composition, and estimated depth of burial of the lithium batteries. The location of the anomalous area lies within an area defined by three metal poles. SWMU 17104 was surveyed using a cesium magnetometer. The size of the four small anomalies are consistent with the size and depth of burial of the capacitors.

While a boxcore sample provides a record of deposition, coupling boxcores with acoustic altimeter (downward-looking sonar) measurements of bed level changes and measurements of near bottom flows allows us to determine the timing and conditions which existed during depositional events. Since the geologic record we study is one of deposition, analysis of small bedding features from the shoreface of Duck, NC provides a unique opportunity to characterize the sedimentation patterns along the shoreface during fair-weather and storm conditions. Boxcores which provide a 10 cm (wide)X25 cm (deep) section of the near surface stratigraphy have been collected in orthogonal pairs and linear arrays at cross-shore locations which correspond to deployed instrumentation. These instrument packages are equipped with an acoustic altimeter, pressure sensor, and 3 Marsh McBirney electromagnetic current meters and are secured on "bipod" frames at cross-shore locations in 5.5, 8, and 13 m water depths. This instrumentation is part of a 3 year monitoring program of bed elevation changes and near bottom flows along the shoreface of the US Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility in Duck, NC which was begun in 1994. Documented bed elevation changes in excess of 10 cm in 5.5, 8, and 13 m water depths provide ample opportunities to investigate shallow shoreface sedimentation.

An excellent match between the seismic profiles, drill data, and outcrop studies allows confidence in interpreting orientation and localized variability in sedimentation. The technique possesses the potential to resolve beds as thin as 5 m at this site. The goal was to extrapolate/extend sediments and contacts identified in sidehill outcrop into the embayment to help establish a better understanding of horizontal continuity/variability. The survey was designed to allow 3-D extrapolation of features identified in outcrop and projected from borehole data. The seismic reflection data were acquired on a 96-channel Geometrics StrataView seismograph with an IVI MiniVib and 8-gauge auger gun, and 40 Hz geophones deployed at 2.5-m station intervals. The 150-m deep igneous bedrock reflector possesses almost 40Emsec or 30 m of variation in elevation within a lateral distance of 500 m. The Mud Mountain Complex (MMC) directly overlies bedrock in this area. A 125-m deep reflector from within the MMC is probably the contact between a layer of fine grain clay particles and gravels/cobbles. A coherent event about 140 m deep and still within the MMC is probably a clayey sand/gravel contact. The MMC, Vashon Lake Bed (VLB) sequences, and Hayden Creek Till contacts are acoustically distinct. A relatively large, well-defined channel within the VLB consistent with boreholes and outcrops could provide a conduit for fluid movement within the embayment.

However, the solution of these problems can arise well-known built-in or more specific difficulties and ad hoc techniques are often preferred to tackle the nonlinear computations. The difficulties can dramatically grow when multiple free surfaces exist in a multi-aquifer system where both flow and contaminant transport processes with and without density coupling occur. In this context the most of the common strategies fail and more general and rigorous approaches are needed. The present paper aims at a discussion of the numerical requirements and efforts for the finite-element modeling of transient free surface(s) flow and contaminant transport in fully 3D aquifer systems. Following aspects are emphasized: (1) Moving mesh approaches versus fixed grid strategies for multi-layered aquifers with their advantages and drawbacks. (2) Generalized constraints for flow and mass boundary conditions needed for 3D free surface models. (3) Introducing the BASD (Best-Adaptation-to-Stratigraphic-Data) technique as a new numerical strategy to automatically adapt the location of water table(s) to all relevant data of a hydro-stratigraphic initial structure with parameter discontinuities. The impact of the numerical approaches is studied for selected applications: (i) benchmarking the mine flooding for a simplistic 3D pit geometry (numerical versus analytical results), and (ii) modeling complex flow and contaminant transport problems arising in flooding an uranium pit.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for designating and managing ocean disposal sites, and for enforcing permit and statutory requirements. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for issuing dredged material permits; EPA, for all other ocean disposal permits. Programs have included those for acid waste, industrial waste, cellar dirt, woodburning at sea, municipal sewage sludge, and dredged material. The volumes, geographic extent, duration, regulations, and current status of these disposal activities are examined. Historical trends include increases in scientific research, public concern and involvement, government oversight, and the use of non-ocean alternatives, as well as a dramatic decrease in ocean disposal activities.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has been involved in the design and/or construction of more than 40 landfill remediation projects for Superfund projects and military installations since 1982. Geosynthetics have played a major role in the success of these projects. This paper focuses on COE involvement in various environmental restoration programs which use geosynthesis and the activities being conducted to further advance the state-of-the-practice in geosynthetic engineering. Geosynthetic guidance development and training by the COE are discussed along with examples of geosynthetic containment applications. In addition, geosynthetic design and construction issues related to geomembrane seam testing, interface friction testing, test sections, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and monitoring are discussed.

The study is aimed at the establishing whether a nutrient addition will accelerate the biodegradation process. The soil analysis showed that the nutrient application was successful in increasing the nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the soil.

It is established that mass transport characteristics of PAH were more important parameters than bulk solution PAH concentration for surfactant enhancing biodegradation rates. The mass transport data simulations and literature values of biokinetic constants showed that addition of a surfactant to a mass transport limited system enhanced biodegradation rate because of accelerating PAH transport to the aqueous phase.

The benefit of one design technique will impact the benefits of another. Developers must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each approach in order to design a system most suitable for the end user. Studies have been performed to determine users' preferences for various system designs. In particular, studies have shown that menu selection and direct manipulation systems are favored by novices and intermediate computer users, while command language interaction is desired by experienced users. What performance characteristics or design attributes attracted the users to the interaction style? What performance characteristics are users willing to tradeoff in order to obtain their desired system? Multiattribute Utility Analysis (MAUA) is presented to illustrate how formal approaches to decision making can be used to select alternatives for computer interaction styles.

The deep navigation channel along the eastern boundary was found to be ultimately responsible. The deep channel allows the density and tidally-induced subtidal currents to intensify over it, producing the eastern intensification. Both mechanisms operate in the non-rotating limit and consequently do not diminish with vanishing effect of the earth's rotation. Density-induced forcing is predominantly baroclinic, generating a northward undercurrent in the deep channel and a southward current aloft which attenuates westward. Tidal forcing is mostly barotropic, producing southward mean current in the deep channel and return flow to the west. Historic data lend support to the model results.

This is of concern because the leaching test is the most important parameter used to relate treated waste performance to public health and environmental protection goals. To help alleviate this problem, an integrated quality control approach is recommended in which the number of leaching tests performed is minimized and quality control is maintained by a program which includes monitoring material (reagent) quality and equipment calibration, personnel requirements, real time testing, pilot cell demonstrations, and early failure indicators.

The study was conducted in pilot-scale bioslurry reactors (70 1) under aerobic conditions. The reactors were equipped with a process-gas-recirculation system to ensure complete containment and eventually complete degradation of all contaminants. The concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes (BTEX-compounds) and of naphthalene, anthracene, and phenanthrene were found to decrease rapidly. But, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) containing >3 aromatic rings did not show significant biodegradation. Addition of rapidly metabolizing substrates such as sodium acetate and/or phenanthrene did not enhance the degradation of PAHs containing >3 aromatic rings. However, the augmented phenanthrene was rapidly metabolized.

Growth of Elodea was significantly enhanced by enrichment with nitrogen alone, and by fertilization with nitrogen in combination with phosphorus, and by nitrogen in combination with phosphorus and potassium. Plant tissue nutrient concentrations increased significantly, for nitrogen by enrichment with nitrogen alone, and with nitrogen in combination with phosphorus and potassium; for phosphorus by enrichment with phosphorus alone and with phosphorus in combination with nitrogen and potassium; tissue concentrations of potassium were not enhanced by any treatment. The elemental ratios of treated plants indicated that nitrogen, rather than phosphorus, was limiting in all treatments, except in those involving nitrogen and NK enrichment (when phosphorus was limiting). The efficiency with which plants used nutrients declined with increased supply of nitrogen and phosphorus, but was unchanged when potassium was increased. Efficiencies were similar to those of other aquatic macrophytes. JF - Freshwater biology. Oxford AU - Best, EPH AU - Woltman, H AU - Jacobs, FHH AD - AScI Corp., c/o Environ.

A simple quasi-distributed approach was developed that applied a linear runoff transform to gridded rainfall excess. It was an adaptation of the Clark conceptual runoff model which used translation and linear storage. Apart from cell properties, obtained with geographical information system procedures, the data requirements were the same as for lumped-parameter models. The method was applied to a 4163 km2 catchment in the mid-western U.S.A. and provided a relatively straightforward transition to use of radar-rainfall data.

AN - 36409911; 5517 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Twin Bridges located on South Bay Boulevard in the city of Morro Bay, California, is proposed. The Twin Bridges would be removed and replaced by one bridge, and the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and State Park Road and the approaches to the bridge would be reconstructed. The proposed replacement bridge would be constructed on new fill material located approximately 100 feet to the east of the existing bridges. The new bridge, which would be constructed of reinforced concrete, would have a minimum width of 40 feet and 8 inches and a length of between 260 and 460 feet. The ultimate length of the bridge would depend on the means by which a combination of environmental, hydraulic, and cost concerns are addressed. Preliminary hydraulic calculations indicate that the bridge would most likely have to be at least 420 feet in length. Pile bents would be installed to support the new bridge, which would be designed to clear a 50-year flood and withstand a 100-year flood. Fill material would total no more than 23,500 cubic yards (cy) for a 460-foot bridge and 45,000 cy for a 260-foot bridge. On completion of the new bridge, the existing structures, foundations, and roadbeds would be removed, and the habitat previously displaced would be restored as fully as possible to natural conditions. In order to achieve an anticipated mitigation requirement of two acres of land restored for each acre lost, the restored area would extend a total of 1.8 to 3.0 acres. In addition, degraded habitat adjacent to the project would be treated to restore native vegetation and wildlife habitat. The estimated cost of the project ranges between $2.5 million and $5.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction of new bridges would alleviate flooding and resultant road closures that presently occur when the water level of Chorro Creek rises above the existing bridges. Safe, reliable access to Los Osos and Baywood Park would be ensured. The project would also improve circulation at the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and State Park Road and allow safe pedestrian and bicycle movement across Chorro Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 2.1 to 2.5 acres in the State Park. Approximately 0.94 to 1.49 acres of floodplain wetlands would be filled and 0.24 to 0.42 acre would be shaded.

AN - 36407173; 5512 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the lower Rio Fajardo at Fajardo on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico is proposed. The river has a drainage area of about 26 square miles. Its headwaters lie in the Caribbean National Forest on the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains, roughly 3,450 feet above sea level. High rainfall over very steep headwaters in the rain forests of the Luquillo Mountains and a series of natural topographic constrictions in the lower valley, can result in major floods that peak rapidly at dangerously high levels, especially in the Maternillo/Puerto Real neighborhoods near the sea. Roughly 785 families would be affected by a 100-year flood. Total damages would range from $5.1 million for the 10-year flood $11.0 million for the 100-year flood. Under the recommended plan, the standard project level of protection would be provided. It would consist of four segments of levees with a total length of about 2,105 meters, a low flow structure, two road ramps, interior drainage facilities, and a wetlands mitigation plan. The levees would have a top width of 3.7 meters. Interior drainage elements would include a culvert under Jerusalem Avenue and five drainage structures. The plan would protect the communities Maternillo, Mansion de Sapo, and Playa de Fajardo at Punto Fajardo, the Santa Isidra development, the Pueblo sector, and San Pedro development located along the southern fringe of the town of Fajardo. The total first cost under the recommended plan is $5.5 million, and the benefit-to-cost ratio is 3.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for vulnerable areas near the river and reduce annual flood damages by 97 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Punta Fajardo levee would cross six acres of a coastal wetland forest dominated by mangroves and salt marsh formations, and reduce freshwater flushing in another 22 acres that would be isolated north of the levee. Roughly three acres of estuarine wetlands and three acres of higher, ecotonal area would be buried under this levee. Punta Fajardo levee would occupy about 0.5 acres of river bottom; Santa Isidra levee would cross less than 0.5 acres of riparian wetlands.

Preparation date: December 21, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER VIRGINIA PENINSULA REGIONAL RAW WATER SUPPLY PLAN, 1990-2040, JAMES CITY AND YORK COUNTIES, VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1994). AN - 36398627; 5511 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, are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Three of these alternatives are proposed as the preferred long-term components of an overall plan to increase regional treated water delivery by 30.2 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 (Alternative 30); developing new well fields in western James City County and eastern New Kent County in order to provide an additional 4.4 mgd when local reservoir storage is below 75 percent of capacity (Alternative 21); and constructing a new 90-foot earthen dam across Cohoke Mill Creek in King William County, creating a reservoir that would provide 26.4 mgd (Alternative 15). The reservoir would drain 13.2 square miles and cover 2,234 acres at 90-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. This draft supplement addresses a variety of issues raised during the comment period, including providing studies to differentiate the King William Reservoir and Black Creek Reservoir projects with respect to their predictability and environmental impacts. 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 new reservoir would result in the loss of 1,719 acres of forested habitat and 479 acres of palustrine vegetated wetlands. The withdrawal of waters from the Mattaponi River would represent a 7 percent loss of the river's average flow. Some 28.3 miles of stream channels would be impounded. The dam would be located within 375 feet of a bald eagle nest site.

Preparation date: December 21, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 1 FROM SECONDARY ROAD (SR) 1853 AT LAKEVIEW TO SR 1180 SOUTH OF SANFORD, STATE PROJECT NO. 8.T560302, LEE AND MOORE COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36398042; 5507 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of US Route 1 in southern Lee County and eastern Moore County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project, which lies within the Sandhills region of the state, would extend 12 miles from Secondary Road (SR) 1853 at Lakeview to SR 1180 south of Sanford. The towns of Cameron, Lakeview, and Vass also are within the study area. The alignment of existing US 1 in the study area is substandard, with restrictive roadway geometrics and poor passing sight distances. The existing two-lane roadway consists primarily of a 22-foot-wide paved section with limited shoulder width within a 100-foot right-of-way. The project initially would involve construction of a four-lane expressway with future development of a four-lane freeway throughout the length of the study area. Corridors under consideration for the project would include the existing US 1 corridor along with frontage roads, a new corridor, and a combination of the existing corridor and a new alignment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A (the preferred alternative) would use three miles of the existing US 1 corridor and nine miles of a new corridor to the east. Alternative B would consist of a new corridor west of existing US 1 for a distance of 12 miles. Alternative C would use approximately eight miles of the existing US 1 corridor and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the west, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative D would follow the existing corridor over nine miles, and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the east, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative E would utilize approximately three miles of the existing corridor and new corridors to the east and west, for a total length of approximately 13 miles. All of the alternatives would cross the Little River, Crane Creek, and their tributaries. Alternative C, Alternative D, and Alternative E would cross Little Crane Creek. One crossing of the Seaboard Coastline Railroad (CSX) would be required under Alternative A, Alternative B, Alternative C, and Alternative D. Alternative E would involve three crossings of the railroad. Alternative A and Alternative B would include three interchanges, while the other alternatives would include two interchanges. The estimated costs of Alternative A, Alternative B, Alternative C, Alternative D, and Alternative E are $45.8 million, $45.2 million, $53.0 million, $52.0 million, and $54.4 million, respectively. Respective benefit-cost ratios are 2.11, 2.94, 2.31, 2.43, and 2.18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By improving a substandard section of US 1, the project would enhance local as well as through traffic. US Route 1 is a major north-south route extending the entire length of the eastern seaboard. By removing traffic from Vass, alternatives involving a bypass of this community would remove through traffic from local streets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 30 to 105 residents, 366 to 427 acres of wildlife habitat, 75 to 124 acres of wetlands, and 158 to 226 acres of prime farmlands. Habitat for several state and federally listed endangered species could be impacted. The project would traverse 14 to 19 hydrologic resources, possibly resulting in one channel relocation, and 1 to 5 sites containing potentially hazardous wastes. Some 14 to 20 sensitive receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of standards. Up to two archaeologic sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as one school, one water intake, and one waste treatment facility could be adversely affected.

Preparation date: December 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TAILINGS MODERNIZATION PROJECT KENNECOTT UTAH COPPER CORPORATION, MAGNA, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36396098; 5505 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion by approximately 3,500 acres of the Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation's existing tailings impoundment at its Bingham Canyon Mine, an open-pit copper mine located 30 miles southwest of Salt Lake City in Magna, Utah, is proposed. To produce copper metal at the Bingham Canyon Mine, copper and other economic metals are extracted from the ore and the remaining fine materials, or tailings, are transported to the impoundment for storage. Tailings production is 152,000 tons per day. Tailings are sent to the impoundment from two concentrators by a peripheral discharge system and a single-point discharge system. After deposition in the impoundment, the solids from within the tailings slurry settle out and the water on the surface of the impoundment flows to a decant pond. Water is clarified and recycled to the plant and concentrators for reuse in the process water circuit. The proposed project site is directly to the north and northwest of the existing tailings impoundment. Kennecott has identified two primary needs for the project. First, as the existing tailings impoundment is nearing its occupational capacity, Kennecott requires approximately 1.9 billion tons of storage capacity to support mining and concentrating operations for the next 25 to 30 years. Since only approximately 0.3 to 0.4 billion tons of this material will be stored in the existing impoundment, additional capacity is required. The second need is for a seismic upgrade to the existing tailings impoundment. As more information has recently become available regarding the seismic nature of the Salt Lake Valley, Kennecott has identified the need to upgrade the existing facility. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include constructing the wetland mitigation; relocating utilities, ditches, and railroad lines; constructing a visual buffer along Interstate 80; preparing the foundation and putting the new impoundment drainage blanket in place; constructing the starter dike, header dikes, a toe ditch, and a toe dike; constructing cyclone stations near the new impoundment; modifying the tailings distribution system; transitioning from the existing to the new impoundment; revegetating the existing impoundment; constructing the new impoundment embankment as it is filled with tailings; and vegetating the new impoundment area after it is filled to capacity. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would address the need, as identified by Kennecott, to increase tailings storage capacity to allow continued mining operations, and to enhance the seismic stability of the existing impoundment. The new impoundment would provide storage for the tailings generated from the proven reserves. The enabling of mining operations to continue for 25 to 30 years under the proposed action would preserve over 4,000 jobs, as well as revenues to local businesses and the state and federal tax base. Enhancing the stability of the existing impoundment would reduce the risk of dam failure from a seismic event, which could cause inadvertent filling of adjacent wetlands and damage transportation corridors and utilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the action alternatives, the expansion would require 1,055 to 1,705 acres of wetlands to be filled, including 294 acres of salt evaporation ponds currently used by gull colonies. It would result in direct impacts on wetland habitats of shorebirds and waterfowl and upland habitat of mule deer. It would also involve rerouting surface water channels in the vicinity of the proposed impoundment, with resulting changes in water quality and quantity in and downstream of rerouted channels.

Preparation date: December 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY EMERGENCY WATER STORAGE PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36409954; 5591 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 water supply for many weeks. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft 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 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 70,100 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. 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 build alternatives would displace up to 66 residences, 208 acres of farmland, and 80 acres of wetlands; numerous cultural resources would be disturbed, including up to 15 prehistoric sites, two historic sites, and six Native American sites. Local residents would experience an increase in water rates under each of the action alternatives.

The existing two-lane roadway consists primarily of a 22-foot-wide paved section with limited shoulder width within a 100-foot-wide rights-of-way. The project initially would involve construction of a four-lane expressway with future development of a four-lane freeway throughout the length of the study area. Corridors under consideration for the project include the existing US 1 corridor along with frontage roads, a new corridor, and a combination of the existing corridor and a new alignment. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A (the preferred alternative) would use three miles of the existing US 1 corridor and nine miles of a new corridor to the east. Alternative B would consist of a new corridor west of existing US 1 for a distance of 12 miles. Alternative C would use approximately eight miles of the existing US 1 corridor and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the west, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative D would follow the existing corridor over nine miles, and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the east, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative E would utilize approximately three miles of the existing corridor and new corridors to the east and west, for a total length of approximately 13 miles. All alternatives would cross the Little River, Crane Creek, and their tributaries. Alternative C, Alternative D, and Alternative E would cross Little Crane Creek. One crossing of the Seaboard Coastline Railroad (CSX) would be required under Alternatives A, Alternative B, Alternative C, and Alternative D. Alternative E would involve three crossings of the railroad. Alternative A and Alternative B would include three interchanges, while the other alternatives would include two interchanges. The estimated costs of Alternative A, Alternative B, Alternative C, Alternative D, and Alternative E are $45.8 million, $45.2 million, $53.0 million, $52.0 million, and $54.4 million, respectively. Respective benefit-cost ratios are 2.11, 2.94, 2.31, 2.43, and 2.18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By improving a substandard section of US 1, the project would enhance local as well as through traffic. US Route 1 is a major north-south route extending the entire length of the eastern seaboard. By removing traffic from Vass, alternatives involving a bypass of this community would remove through traffic from local streets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 30 to 105 residents, 366 to 427 acres of wildlife habitat, 75 to 124 acres of wetlands, and 158 to 226 acres of prime farmlands. Habitat for several state and federally listed endangered species could be adversely affected. The project would traverse 14 to 19 hydrologic resources, possibly resulting in one channel relocation, and 1 to 5 sites containing potentially hazardous wastes. From 14 to 20 sensitive receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of standards. Up to two archaeologic sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as one school, one water intake, and one waste treatment facility could be affected.

AN - 36404303; 5484 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of harbor development at Chignik, Alaska, located on the Pacific side of the Alaska Peninsula at the head of Anchorage Bay, is proposed. Since Chignik is accessible only by air or sea, no boat launching facilities would be required. One structure would be needed to provide necessary protection for the inner harbor. A 1,170-foot north breakwater and a 1,120-foot south breakwater would be developed for a design wave height of 6.0 feet. The side slope of 1 vertical to 1.5 horizontal would be stable; the design crest elevation would be 18.5 feet above mean lower low water. The mooring area would total 4.8 acres, using conventional double-berth mooring for 74 vessels from 31 to 55 feet long, and single- and double-berth mooring for 31 larger vessels up to 120 feet long or more. The entrance and access channel area would be approximately 3.6 acres; it would be cut through the nearshore zone and would be subject to the erosive effects of wave conditions. The length-to-width ratio of the basin would be 3.2. Circulation would be improved by several design characteristics. The entrance would be aligned so that the inflow direction is parallel to the long axis of the basin, designed to allow two-way traffic for the 85-foot design vessel. Initial dredging would remove 360,000 cubic yards (cy), and maintenance activities, implemented at 10-year intervals, would require removal of 16,000 cy. A staging area of 4.4 acres would be needed for minimal parking, gangway access, and some storage. The total area covered would be 26 acres. The project would require 75,900 cy of armor rock, which was to be quarried from an undeveloped rock source located in the Castle Bay area. This draft supplement to the final EIS of January 1988 was prepared at the request of the project's local sponsor, who was unable to afford the project cost share; as a result the project continues to be pursued as a general investigations study. This supplemental draft EIS also evaluates the overall environmental impacts of existing operating quarry sites using a typical, generic quarry site scenario. Total final EIS project costs were estimated at $11.5 million to construct, with a benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.9. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the harbor would provide protection at all times for vessels 30 feet to more than 120 feet long. The breakwater and inner harbor facilities would be designed for a 50-year storm event. The harbor would allow the local fishing fleet year-round harborage in Chignik. Residents in the area would be less dependent on private docks for anchorage and storage. A harbor would benefit the economy of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Indirect adverse effects to wildlife would be caused by close proximity to the harbor, such as increased noise, littering, and human traffic. Intertidal/subtidal habitat would be lost by dredge and fill activities, amounting to approximately 26 acres. There would be a significant adverse impact on locally-used clam beds. Harbor-related pollutants could enter harbor waters. Passerines, waterfowl, shorebirds, and seabirds could be dislocated because of construction activities and harbor operation. Maintenance dredging would be necessary over the life of the project.

To investigate the potential of this high-resolution technique and at the same time study the architecture of Quaternary glaciofluvial deposits, georadar data have been collected on a dense grid established across a sequence of braided-river gravels and sands in northeastern Switzerland. Results of this survey are striking 3-D images that provide many more details and much more reliable information on the heterogeneities of the shallow underground than are afforded by conventional georadar profile data. Continuous subhorizontal and oblique reflections can be traced throughout vertical sections and horizontal slices of the georadar data block to a depth of approximately 15 m. Clearly defined are the dominant flow direction of the ancient braided-river system, the boundaries between different sedimentary facies, and the level of the ground-water table. Trough-fill sediments and subhorizontal channel deposits observed on 7-m-high quarry walls can be followed confidently in the subsurface. The orientation, shape, and size of the troughs and the strike and dip of the cross-bedding are all well resolved.

AN - 36400227; 5469 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a municipal solid waste landfill on a 320-acre site near Graham, in Pierce County, Washington, is proposed. Resource Investments, Inc., has applied with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a Section 404 permit, pursuant to the Clean Water Act, in order to deposit fill material into 21.6 acres of wetlands as part of the area required to build the landfill. The site is mostly flat, with the steepest slopes (4.5 percent) occurring in the southeastern most portion of the site. The South Fork of Muck Creek flows southeasterly across the northwestern corner of the property, draining a portion of the site. The Creek often stops flowing within the boundaries of the site during the late summer and early fall months. The site supports approximately 70 acres of wetland communities, including emergent scrub-shrub and forested wetlands. The site has been used as a woodlot and farmland for several decades and is currently used to pasture cows. The current Hidden Valley landfill facility for Pierce County will reach capacity and close in October 1996. The Hidden Valley landfill cannot be further expanded because of various technical restraints. At that time there will be no place to dispose of solid waste in Pierce County. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed site would contain the landfill (including operational and design elements), and support facilities (including truck scales and the like). Elements of the proposed project include a leak detection and collection system, composite (clay and synthetic) bottom liner, leachate collection system, mixed municipal solid waste, gas collection system, and daily, interim, and final cover. The completed landfill would result in a topographic feature 180 to 200 feet above existing terrain. Some gravel and sand would be imported from borrow pits in the vicinity of the proposed site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would address the need for adequate landfill capacity in the county or transfer capability for the entire Pierce County wastestream, with which there could be a solid waste management problem in Pierce County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: This project could adversely and significantly affect the human environment. Potential adverse impacts to surface water drainage and flood storage, water quality, wetlands, wildlife and fisheries, threatened and endangered species, and transportation could occur. Construction and operation of the proposed project would result in emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, ozone, sulfur oxides, and particulates.

Preparation date: December 1, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GALVESTON BAY AREA NAVIGATION STUDY AND FEASIBILITY REPORT, GALVESTON AND HARRIS COUNTIES, TEXAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1988). AN - 36407074; 5434 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve navigational efficiency on the Houston Ship Channel, its ancillary channels, and the Galveston Channel, located in Galveston and Harris counties, Texas, is proposed. This study, along with a similar study of the Texas City Channel already completed, is being accomplished under the Comprehensive Galveston Bay Area Navigation Study. The Houston Ship Channel is presently 40 feet deep by 400 feet wide. Under the preferred alternative, the existing 40-foot-deep channel from the Gulf of Mexico, through Bolivar Roads, to the port of Galveston would be deepened to 45 feet deep by a varying width ranging from 650 to 1,112 feet. From Bolivar Roads to the port of Galveston, the channel would be 530 feet wide and dredged material from the operation would be deposited in the Gulf. Material from the Galveston Channel and the bayou reach of the channel would be placed in upland, fully-confined disposal areas and used to restore Goat Island. Material from the bay reach would be used for building 4,250 acres of tidal marsh, a 12-acre colonial waterbird nesting island, and other island restoration projects. The plan would involve the disposal of approximately 79 million cubic yards (cy) of new-work dredged material and over 270 million cy of maintenance material over the 50-year life of the project. The estimated first costs of the project are $271.4 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the channel would allow for use of larger, more efficient vessels. Greater width and bend easings would allow the use of larger ships without depth increases. Vessel safety would be improved as well, since the use of larger vessels would reduce the number of vessel trips required and, hence, the number of opportunities for accidents. The number and duration of vessel delays would also decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bay salinity during certain inflow conditions could be increased by 1.2 parts per thousand. Hurricane surge and oil spill changes could result in small and generally insignificant effects. Cultural resources along the channels could be disturbed. Dredging would increase turbidity temporarily in localized areas. Channel widening and construction of the dredged disposal areas would displace habitat. Shrimp and fin fish production would decline periodically due to dredging and disposal operations.

The project would involve the issuance of several federal and state permits, including a Section 404 Individual Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a Section 7 Consultation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The San Diego County Water Authority would construct or reallocate approximately 91,000 acre-feet of reservoir storage to supplement emergency water supplies because more than 90 percent of San Diego's total water supply is delivered through large diameter pipelines that cross Elsinore Fault, and imported water facilities of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California cross the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults. These facilities could be disrupted in many places during a major earthquake. During the time needed to repair the Authority's pipelines (the Authority estimates it could take two months), residents and businesses would be completely dependent on local storage within the county. Today there is a shortfall in emergency storage needed to supply water at a 75 percent level of service during a two-month outage of the imported water supply system. In addition, the current distribution system would be inadequate during such an event. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are under consideration in this draft EIS. The four action alternatives involve different combinations of storage and distribution facilities. The San Vicente Stand Alone Alternative would involve the expansion of the San Vicente reservoir to 90,100 acre-feet, a 12-mile pipeline from San Vicente to the Second Aqueduct (with two possible alignments), and four pump stations ranging from 320 to 62,200 horsepower. The San Vicente with Re-operation Alternative would be similar to the San Vicente Stand Alone Alternative except it would have the reservoir expand by 68,000 acre-feet and re-operate to provide an additional 22,100 acre-feet. The Olivenhain/Hodges/San Vicente Alternative would build a new dam and reservoir at Olivenhain to provide an additional 18,000 acre-feet; Lake Hodges re-operation would provide an additional 20,000 acre-feet; and San Vicente reservoir expansion to provide an additional 52,100 acre-feet. Three pipeline segments totaling 17.3 miles would be installed, as would six pump stations ranging from 320 to 42,000 horsepower. The Moosa/Hodges Alternative would build a new dam and reservoir in Moosa Canyon to provide 68,000 acre-feet, and Lake Hodges re-operation would provide 22,100 acre-feet. Two pipeline segments totaling 6.4 miles would be installed, as would seven pump stations ranging from 320 to 22,300 horsepower. No alternative has yet been identified as the preferred alternative. The alternative to be selected would be constructed over a four-year period beginning in 1997. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would alleviate serious water supply deficiencies in the event of a major earthquake under current water supply conditions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Moosa/Hodges Alternative would displace 66 residences, cause avocado root rot, convert 208 acres of agricultural land, present significant adverse impacts to visual resources, and adversely affect wildlife corridors. The other action alternatives would result in night sky glow and significant noise impacts during construction. Water rates would increase by $75 to $85 per acre-foot over current rates. The project would adversely affect biological resources, including 34 to 80 acres of wetlands, 58 to 302 acres of coastal sage scrub habitat, 17 to 29 acres of oak woodland, 1 to 7 sensitive plant species, 7 to 164 Englemann oak trees, and 1,027 to 2,637 Coast Live oak trees. The project would also adversely affect cultural resources, including 10 to 15 prehistoric sites, 1 to 2 historic sites, and 5 to 6 Native American sites. Action alternatives would each adversely affect recreation opportunities located at least one lake or reservoir.

Preparation date: November 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INDIANA HARBOR AND CANAL MAINTENANCE DREDGING AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA. AN - 36412424; 5446 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a confined disposal facility (CDF) for sediments and other materials dredged from the Indiana Harbor and Canal in Lake County, Indiana, is proposed. The CDF would accommodate the backlog of accumulated sediment and future maintenance dredging, both within the federal navigation and along adjacent berthing areas and dockfaces. Based on numerous physical and chemical tests of Indiana Harbor and Canal sediments, it has been determined that the sediment would be unsuitable for open-lake disposal or beneficial uses. A portion of the sediments have been found to contain elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls and are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act. A CDF for the dredged material does not currently exist. Consequently, authorized channel depths are not being maintained. Due to the high level of siltation, portions of the harbor and canal are severely restricted for navigation by deep-draft vessels. In addition, the contaminated sediments are migrating out of the harbor and canal and settling into the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan. In addition to a No Action Alternative, three dredging method and four CDF location alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction of a CDF at the site of a former oil refinery on a portion of the Energy Cooperative, Inc., property located in East Chicago, Indiana; the maintenance dredging of the channel to authorized depths; the disposal of dredged sediments at the CDF; and the routine maintenance of all navigation structures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Benefits of the proposed action would include more efficient use of the harbor and canal for safe commercial navigation; beneficial influences on the local economy; and a reduction in the net discharge of contaminated sediments from the waterway into Lake Michigan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging could include the temporary uptake of contaminants in terrestrial communities; vegetation and wildlife would be exposed to potential contaminant uptake at the site of the CDF prior to capping. Volatile contaminants would be released in to the air from drying sediments at the CDF pond. LEGAL MANDATES: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 3, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF LORING AIR FORCE BASE, AROOSTOOK COUNTY, MAINE (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1994). AN - 36398260; 5426 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Loring Air Force Base (AFB), located in Aroostook County, Maine, is proposed. The 9,035-acre Loring AFB is located 400 miles north of Boston and 5 miles west and south of the Canadian border at New Brunswick. It consists of the 8,317-acre main base as well as nine off-site parcels totaling 718 acres. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would include a comprehensive reuse plan for a mixed-use airport with civilian aviation activities, including general aviation, commercial aviation, maintenance, and air cargo components. These aviation uses would require up 1,895 acres of on-site property. Airfield improvements would include the installation of a precision instrument landing system and approach path on Runway 01/19, security fencing, runway and taxiway guidance signs, an airport beacon, and a weather observation station. Aviation support facilities, to be located west and south of the runway, would include the air traffic control tower, fuel system, fire station, hangars, and air cargo, maintenance, commercial aviation, and general aviation buildings. Additional uses of the property would include 727 acres for industrial development; 102 acres for medical and educational facilities; 194 acres for office and other commercial uses; 551 acres for residential land uses, 1,717 acres for open space and an urban park, and 3,136 acres for agricultural and forestry development. The 594-acre Madawaska Dam site, located off-site, would be set aside as a natural resource conservation area. This final supplemental EIS, together with the draft supplemental EIS issued in July 1995, represents a revision of the final EIS of August 1994; that EIS was rescinded in order to incorporate public comments and changes in the community reuse plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. Under the proposed action, reuse activities would increase employment levels by approximately 4,461 direct jobs and 3,339 secondary jobs by the year 2014. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed development activities would convert 1,828 acres of farmland to nonagricultural use. The quantities of hazardous materials used and wastes generated would be greater than under closure conditions. The responsibility for managing hazardous materials and wastes would shift from a single user to multiple, independent users, which could reduce the area's capability of responding to hazardous materials and waste spills and would increase the regulatory burden. Air pollutant emissions would increase, and surface water runoff would result from 572 acres of ground disturbance. The number of people living in areas exposed to surface traffic noise levels of 65 decibels or greater would increase by 482. Development activities could adversely affect historic properties that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: November 3, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - POPLAR ISLAND RESTORATION STUDY, TALBOT COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36396377; 5447 AB - PURPOSE: The use of uncontaminated dredged materials from the approach channels of the Baltimore Harbor and Channels Federal navigation project to recreate and restore ecological habitat at Poplar Island in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, is proposed. Section 204 of the Water Resources Development Act allows the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to protect, restore and create aquatic and ecologically-related habitats in connection with dredging (construction and/or maintenance) of an authorized Federal navigation project. The Maryland Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Maryland Port Administration, has requested the restoration of Poplar Island to its approximate size 150 years ago. The group of islands known as Poplar Island is located in the upper middle Chesapeake Bay approximately 34 nautical miles southeast of the Port of Baltimore, on the main stem of the Bay near the confluence of the Chesapeake and Eastern Bays, and is subject to severe erosional forces. From a size probably exceeding 1,100 acres in the 1800s, the island has eroded and split into four separate islands, together totaling only five acres. The approach channels to the Port of Baltimore must be dredged and maintained to navigable depths to maintain port commerce. Approximately 100 million cubic yards of material are expected to be dredged from the project over the next 20 years. This volume exceeds the capacity of the existing dredged material placement sites. In addition to the Poplar Island restoration project and a No Action Alternative, four general dredge placement location alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. These alternatives would include open water placement, at four alternative sites; shallow water placement at five alternative sites; upland placement at four alternative sites; and Island restoration/creation at 10 alternative sites other than Poplar Island. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Poplar Island project would allow the beneficial use of dredged material for several reasons: islands are preferentially selected by many migratory birds, as well as fish and other wildlife species, as nesting/production areas; the prevention of further island erosion should decrease Chesapeake Bay sediment loadings and significantly improve water clarity in the immediate vicinity of the Poplar Island complex; created wetland and shallow water areas should provide excellent habitat for juvenile and forage fish species, epibenthic vertebrates, and benthic infauna; a net gain of approximately 550 wetland acres should significantly increase detrital production; and approximately 38 million cubic yards of placement capacity would be made available to handle immediate and maintenance dredging needs for approximately 22 years and would avoid adverse impacts associated with other less beneficial placement sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,100 acres of shallow water habitat would be covered over, and 27.2 acres of cover items (snag fields) would be buried.

The historic wetland, called Green Bottom, was converted to agricultural fields in the early 1900's, with only remnant wetland areas remaining, largely riparian streams. Now called the Green Bottom Wildlife Management Area (GBWMA), it is located 26.7 km north of Huntington, WV (Figure 1). Most of the 338-ha area occurs between State Route 2 and the Ohio River in Cabell and Mason counties, just 13.4 km downstream of the Corps of Engineers Gallipolis Lock. The site selection, acquisition, development, and management of the GBWMA is a result of joint efforts by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Huntington, West Virginia Department of Natural Resources (WVDNR), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The area was purchased and established by the Corps of Engineers to mitigate impacts to wildlife and habitat incurred by implementation of the Gallipolis Locks and Dam Replacement Project. It is now managed by the WVDNR as a state hunting and fishing area under a lease agreement with and overview responsibility of the Huntington District. The area has been an important research, teaching, and recreation resource for nearby Marshall University (MU), environmental groups, and interested citizens.

Complex reflection and transmission coefficients measured by a vector network analyzer system for samples contained in coaxial sample holders were used to generate electrical properties of the pure substances and the mixtures. The frequencies covered by these experiments ranged from 43 MHz to 26.5 GHz, and sample temperatures were held fixed at 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees C. Data were reported in the forms of the complex dielectric constant, conductivity, loss tangent, normalized phase velocity, and power attenuation. Simple volume-weighted mixing models for predicting the real part of the complex dielectric constant (permittivity) were applied successfully to single-frequency data. The rationale behind the development and some of the limitations of mixing models are discussed. Spectroscopic data that cover a frequency range large enough to reveal the dielectric relaxation loss phenomenon that occurs in many organic contaminants may prove to be useful as a detection and/or identification tool.

However, information has been accumulating which shows convincingly that PSHA is a defective procedure. Its greatest weakness is the dependence of the probability theory on the Gutenberg-Richter magnitude and a recurrence relation which can no longer be regarded as a power law. Remedies that rely on incorporating paleoseismic information and characteristic earthquakes into the probability calculation introduce other errors resulting from fragmentary data and the known non-uniformity of earthquake occurrence in space and time. The worst corrective for probability is the method developed by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that averages multiple expert opinions. Expert opinions cannot be averaged meaningfully because the criteria for different models are nonequivalent. On the other hand, the deterministic procedure for earthquake hazard evaluation avoids the above defects by eliminating the falsely precise time element in the probabilistic estimation. Geologic time for recurrence is used, according to accepted criteria such as a single movement in the past 12,000 years or multiple movements in 500,000 years. For a critical project, where the consequences of failure are intolerable and protection is needed against the worst that can be reasonably expected to occur (the maximum credible earthquake), the deterministic method is strongly recommended.

AN - 36406783; 5427 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of New Hampshire (NH) Route 16 and US 302 through the villages of Conway and North Conway, New Hampshire, is proposed. These improvements are considered necessary to solve major traffic congestion and safety problems along this corridor, between the Madison/Albany town line to the south and the Conway/Bartlett town line to the north. In addition to serving as a regional highway, the Route 16/302 corridor serves as the primary roadway for local traffic in and through Conway and North Conway. Over the last 25 years, a great deal of tourism-related development has occurred in the Mount Washington Valley, primarily in the Route 16/302 corridor. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and a number of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management alternatives, a total of 14 build alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of June 1993. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9A) would involve the phased construction of a two-lane bypass south and east of Conway that would be approximately 12 miles long; the bypass would extend east of the Mineral Spring Wetland System and west of Pudding Pond. This alternative would also provide for the upgrading of Route 16/302 within Conway in the vicinity of Mountain Valley Mall and Settlers Green; consolidated curb cuts from the intersection of Routes 16 /302 to Artist Falls Road; minor rehabilitation of US 302 from NH Route 113 to Route 16 to facilitate construction of the bypass; and some TSM improvements. In addition, all local roads upgraded as part of the project would have adequate shoulders that would function as bicycle ways. Following the draft EIS comment period, the preferred alternative was modified to incorporate the West Side Road Connector as a means to defer an immediate need for bypass construction. The estimated construction costs of the modified preferred alternative are $84.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would relieve traffic congestion and improve safety along the Route 16/302 corridor, and improve local travel and regional access to the northern part of the state. Traffic congestion would diminish within the two villages, enhancing their historic character. Emergency vehicle access would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 52 residences and 2 businesses; the loss of 322.1 total acres, including 8.4 acres of farmland and 27.4 acres of wetlands; the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of a brook; the disturbance of two historic properties and three historic districts; and the acquisition of approximately 15.3 acres of parkland, causing some fragmentation of habitat, truncation of recreational trails, loss of public access to undeveloped land, and loss of aesthetic qualities. Some residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Approximately five acres of floodplain would also be adversely affected.

AN - 36410792; 5422 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of port facilities at Naval Air Station, North Island (NASNI) so that those facilities could serve as a homeport for a NIMTZ-class aircraft carrier, located in San Diego, California, is proposed. The NIMITZ-class carrier is part of the Navy's new modern fleet of deep-draft ships powered by nuclear energy. As the result of a 1993 directive to close Naval Air Station Alameda, ships that had been homeported there must be transferred to San Diego and ports in the Pacific Northwest. Because of the larger dimensions of the NIMITZ-class carrier, deepening of the berthing area, turning basin, and main navigation channel would be required. To provide for clearance at all times, the berth and turning basin must be dredged to a depth of -50 mean lower low water (mlww). The preferred alternative would consist of six separate construction projects. The first project would involve dredging of the turning basin, construction of a rock dike, construction of a 13.4-acre fill area, creation of a 14-acre mitigation area, and electrical upgrades at the existing quaywall. The second project would involve building a wharf and associated facilities, demolishing the existing boathouse, and constructing a new boathouse away from the project area. The third project would involve the demolition of two buildings and several smaller buildings, and construction of a controlled industrial facility for depot-level repair and maintenance of propulsion plant systems and components requiring radiation controls. The fourth project would involve dredging the San Diego Bay main channel. The fifth project would involve construction of a ship maintenance facility for depot-level repair and maintenance and the testing of nonradiological propulsion components. The final project would involve the construction of logistics and administrative facilities. Approximately 9.1 million cubic yards (cy) of material would be dredged from the harbor; most of it (8.0 million cy) would be used for beach replenishment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region by providing a deeper channel for commercial navigation. The preferred alternative would improve the condition of San Diego beaches and require the cleanup of hazardous waste sites along the shoreline at NASNI. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would adversely affect the visual character of the NAS San Diego Historic District. Approximately 13.4 acres of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitat, including 3.9 acres of eelgrass habitat, would be lost; eelgrass is a key and sensitive habitat for many marine species, including the endangered California least tern.

AN - 36412374; 5415 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of erosion prevention measures for the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in order to protect whooping crane critical wintering habitat along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, located in Aransas and Calhoun counties, Texas, is proposed. The project area is located about 35 miles northeast of Corpus Christi. The intracoastal waterway traverses approximately 31 miles of critical habitat area and includes portions of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and the privately-owned Welder Flats area located in the eastern portion of the project area. Erosion along the channel banks is occurring from a combination of causes, including vessel traffic, natural current and wave action, and dredged material disposal practices; as a result, area wetlands are eroding at a rate of two acres per year. Shoreline regression invades shallow potholes, which immediately begin to deepen as wave and tidal action have access to them. These potholes and surrounding marsh are the preferred feeding areas of the cranes. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the action alternatives would involve realigning the intracoastal waterway to avoid sensitive wetlands. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve using the present alignment with bank protection, spill containment, and a 50-year disposal plan that would involve using dredged material to create roughly 1,614 acres of new marsh. The primary erosion control structure would be an articulated concrete mattress; its primary biological advantage are its low profile, which allows high tides to flood across the marsh as sheetflow. About 62,000 feet of shoreline along Blackjack Peninsula and Welder Flats would be protected by these concrete mats. In Sundown Bay, grout tubes would be used to create a series of long barriers next to the channel; eventually the tubes would be covered with oysters to form a new reef system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would protect whooping crane critical habitat and enable the Corps of Engineers to avoid jeopardy status under the Endangered Species Act. The concrete mats would protect roughly 64 acres of valuable marsh and 1,075 acres of pond-lake habitat from future erosion. Additionally, it would create new wetlands to replace past loses in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Up to 10 acres of marsh vegetation would be lost during construction of the concrete mattresses.

AN - 15225265; 5405 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Route 29 within the city of Lynchburg and Amherst and Campbell counties, Virginia, is proposed. The project would begin in the southern portion of Lynchburg and terminate just south of the town of Amherst. The typical cross-section would consist of four to six lanes of median-divided, limited-access roadway on new alignment on a 190-foot-wide minimum right-of-way. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. All three build alternatives would share a common beginning point in Lynchburg, but have different termini south of Amherst. Alternative Line E (the preferred alternative) would begin at existing Route 460 near its intersection with Route 501 in the southern portion of Lynchburg and cross the Norfolk & Western Railway and Holcomb Path Road before turning northeasterly to bridge the James River west of the Lynchburg/Campbell County line. It would then proceed northerly across Route 672, the Route 210 connector, and the Route 130 connector in Amherst County; continue to the north, passing under Route 624 with a partial interchange; and connect into existing Route 29 near its intersection with Business Route 29 south of the town of Amherst. Alternative Line M would follow the same beginning alignment as Alternative Line E but would continue in a northwesterly direction, remaining to the east of Route 671 and tying into Route 29 near its intersection with Route 697 at the community of McIvor. Alternative Line W would follow the same initial alignment as Alternative Line E but would pass under the existing Route 29 expressway north of its interchange with Route 210, turn northerly to interchange with Route 130, cross Routes 657, 636, and 655, and terminate with an interchange at existing Route 29 south of the community of Faulconerville. Alternative Line E and Alternative Line M alternatives would require some relocation of Routes 210 and 130. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Serving the north-south traffic corridor bypassing the community of Madison Heights and Lynchburg, the project would reduce truck traffic from a congested commercial area and provide a bypass for through travelers. Movements of emergency and rescue equipment in the area would be expedited due to reduced congestion. The project would be consistent with the Lynchburg Area Year 2000 Transportation Plan, 1986 Central Virginia Planning District Technical Advisory study on transportation, and transportation goals of Amherst County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 53 to 88 families and 1 to 6 businesses and convert 124 to 873 acres of farm, wooded, and open land to highway use. Some 2.03 to 2.40 acres of wetlands would be displaced. Alternative Line W would encroach on an historic district, while the Alternative Line E and Alternative Line M would displace an historic structure.

AN - 36396053; 5398 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 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. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic draft EIS. The three action alternatives would involve either dampening water level fluctuations or retaining minimal water levels throughout the managed marsh; dampening or decoupling the targeted marsh from the surrounding system; and hydrologic restoration, involving the connection of the targeted and surrounding marsh systems but in ways that mimic a historic, often natural, situation. Each action alternative is considered separately 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management activities would improve habitat conditions for trapped or hunted marsh-dependent species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unlimited public access under management alternatives would expose landowners to vandalism and liability. The harvesting of marsh-dependent species under unlimited public access would conflict with landowners property rights.

Preparation date: October 20, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FORT CAMPBELL RAIL CONNECTOR, CHRISTIAN COUNTY, KENTUCKY. AN - 36385380; 5387 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 draft 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. 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.

Preparation date: October 16, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PASSAIC RIVER FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT; BERGEN, ESSEX, HUDSON, MORRIS, PASSAIC, SUSSEX, SOMERSET, AND UNION COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY, AND ORANGE AND ROCKLAND COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 36411020; 5382 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood damage control project for the Passaic River, in eight counties in northern New Jersey and two counties in southeastern New York, is proposed. The Passaic River Flood Damage Reduction Project comprises structures and land management measures to establish and maintain a high level of flood protection in the Passaic River Basin. The Passaic River Flood Damage Reduction Project was authorized for design and construction by the Water Resources Development Act of 1990 as amended by the Water Resources Development Act of 1992. The project would reduce the average annual flood damages by 89 percent. The main protective feature of the plan, a large underground diversion tunnel system, would be supplemented with levees, floodwalls, channel modifications, and preservation of natural flood storage. The project would reduce flood levels at major damage areas in the Pompton River Valley, the Central Passaic Basin, and the Lower Valley of the Passaic River Basin. Beautification and recreational features would be included with certain elements of the project. The main tunnel would be 20.4 miles long and 42 feet in diameter; it would carry floodwaters from an inlet on the upper Pompton River to an outlet in Newark Bay, 1,850 feet offshore of Kearny Point. The second tunnel would be a 1.3-mile-long spur tunnel, 23 feet in diameter, that would convey Central Basin floodwaters from an inlet on the Passaic River, just downstream from the confluence of the Passaic and Pompton Rivers at Two Bridges, to an underground connection with the main tunnel. To direct floodwaters into the inlets, 5.5 miles of channels in the Passaic, Pompton, Pequannock, Wanaque, and Ramapo Rivers would be modified. A system of 0.4 miles of levee and 0.6 miles of floodwall would be provided in order to prevent flooding by water as it flows into Pompton Inlet. In addition, gated weirs would be built on the Passaic and Pequannock rivers in order to prevent upstream headcutting, minimize erosion potential, and protect existing wetlands. The project would include the preservation of 5,350 acres of natural storage in the Central Basin in order to prevent increases in flood flows caused by the loss of such areas to development. Wherever possible, adverse impacts to fish and wildlife would be mitigated by the inclusion of environmental measures into the design of each channel modification, levee, floodwall, and other structure. Project construction is scheduled to begin September 1998 and be completed June 2009. Estimated construction costs are $1.4 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect the area that would be inundated by a 100-year flood. Annual charges and benefits are estimated at $127.3 million and $173.9 million, respectively, for a benefit/cost ratio of 1.4. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: After the tunnels were constructed, the amount of water entering Newark Bay would be the same but the timing would be different; this should create minor short-term changes in water quality in the vicinity of the tunnel outlet. In addition, the tunnel would be mostly full of water between flood events; this condition could create temporary degradation of dissolved oxygen levels in the immediate vicinity of the tunnel outlet due to backup of stored tunnel water that would become anoxic with time. In the Pequannock, Wanaque, and Ramapo rivers complex, providing channel modifications and a levee/floodwall system would result in the loss of shade, increased water temperatures, and decreased dissolved oxygen, thereby adversely affecting fish, benthic invertebrates, and other aquatic biota.

Preparation date: October 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH LAWRENCE TRAFFICWAY FROM THE KANSAS TURNPIKE TO K-10 HIGHWAY (PROJECT 23C-2567-01, 23U-1121-01), DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1990). AN - 36397844; 5376 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 15 miles of roadway from the vicinity of the Kansas Turnpike (Interstate 70 (I-70)) northwest of Lawrence to a connection with Kansas State Highway (K-10) at Noria Road along the western and southern sides of the city of Lawrence, Kansas, is proposed. The project would involve the widening of existing roads; the acquisition of rights-of-way (with a typical width of 250 feet); the construction of a four-lane divided roadway with access limited to at-grade intersections with major arterial roadways; the construction of grade-separated interchanges at K-10, 15th Street, US 40, and I-70; and on-site and off-site mitigation of the irreversible adverse impacts of construction. The preferred alignment would be divided into four sections. Section 1 would extend from the north project limits to the intersection of County Route (CR) 13 and the Clinton Parkway. Section 2 would extend from the CR 13/Clinton Parkway intersection to a divergence of alignments at a point one mile south and three-quarters of a mile west of the existing Clinton Parkway/Kasold Lane intersection. Section 3 would extend from the end of Section 2 to a divergence of alignments at a point one-quarter mile west and one-quarter mile north of the intersection of Noria Road and 31st Street Extended. Section 4 would extend from the end of Section 3 to interchange sites along K-10 in the vicinity of Noria Road. The estimated total cost for the ultimate four-lane trafficway is $50.6 million in 1988 dollars. The segment of the trafficway between US 59 to the west and K-10 to the east has been identified by the Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) as presenting potentially adverse impacts on HINU's property, cultural traditions, and spiritual sites. This supplemental draft EIS considers three alignment alternatives, including the alignment as approved in the final EIS of January 1990, in response to the HINU's concerns. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would relieve congestion on existing 23rd Street and Iowa Street. The roadway would divert through traffic and local traffic from these two streets and Clinton Parkway, thereby achieving an improved level of traffic on the local street network. Traffic safety benefits would be experienced through reduced congestion. Contractors within the Lawrence area would receive a portion of the cost of construction. Experience with other highway construction projects suggests that approximately 25 percent of the construction cost would go to salaries, and most of this money would be injected into the area economy. Money for expressway maintenance would be injected into the local economy for the life of the project. Douglas County would have a new circumferential transportation system in place that could make the county an attractive location for private investments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would include the taking of prime agricultural land and the displacement of seven residences. Construction would cause localized disruptions in traffic flow through detours and construction activities and temporary increases in noise and air pollution. The project also include the taking of ecologically sensitive areas, such as state-designated critical habitat for a federally-designated endangered species, known as the northern crawfish frog, as well as construction activities within the Haskell (Baker) Wetlands.

Sediment cores were examined by XRD to differentiate paper-mill effluent deposition from the underlying detrital sediments and by (super 210) Pb decay spectroscopy to determine sediment accretion rates. Anatase and kaolin from the IPC paper-mill effluent delineated a well-defined, anthropic, silty-clay, A horizon above a clay, 2Ag horizon. Anatase concentrations were no greater than 1.7% in the A horizon and was absent in the underlying 2Ag1 horizon. Kaolin deposition was significantly correlated to the A horizon by an average increase of 84% above the kaolinite detrital background. Pyrite was detected in the A horizon as a transformation mineral following sulfur reduction of the paper-mill effluent. Five of the six sediment cores showed an inflection in the excess (super 210) Pb activity profile consistent with a present-day reduction in sediment supply. The average modern sedimentation rate was 0.05 cm yr (super -1) . Average sedimentation observed during historic accretion was 0.22 cm yr (super -1) , about 4.4 times greater than the modern rate of accretion. Reduction in sediment accretion can be attributed to upstream levees completed in 1934 and loss of organic accumulation following the 1950 reservoir impoundment. However, radiometric dating could not precisely correlate the geochronology of kaolin/anatase introduction due to complex oxidation/reduction cycles concurrent with the modern accretion regime.

Historical topographic maps, recent topographic maps, and digital satellite imagery were used to determine the magnitude of forest removal. Changes in forest fragmentation were quantified based on the distribution and geometry of forest stands. Comparisons of forest cover with hydric soils data indicate that, in the lower watershed area, up to 80 percent of the forest removed may have been forested wetlands.

In 1991 the U.S. Army District, Fort Worth, embarked upon a large- scale wetland construction project intended to create 70 ha of wetlands along Range Creek, a major tributary into Ray Roberts Lake, Texas. The wetlands were intended to provide wildlife habitat, primarily feeding and resting areas for migratory waterfowl. There was also the possibility that the wetlands could function to improve the quality of water routed through them by removing suspended solids and other nonpoint source pollutants.

AN - 36407061; 5351 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a marina on Lake Michigan in Gary, Indiana, is proposed. The project, to be sponsored by the city of Gary, would be located between the USX breakwater to the west and Marquette Park to the east. The preferred 220-acre site would lie near lands administered by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, which encompasses 14,000 noncontiguous acres. The marina development would ultimately contain 1,300 to 1,400 boat slips, which would be built in phases as demand warrants. Supporting marine services would include diesel and gas fuel facilities, retail sales serving boating activities, boat/motor maintenance and service facilities, dry storage provisions, and public use areas. The marina design would also support nonboating recreational activities; both boating and nonboating activities would be supported by parking facilities, rest rooms, bathhouses, and other services. In addition, the site would support development of associated residential and commercial uses. Development of offshore facilities would involve dredging and filling to create a small boat harbor and sites for land-based facilities and construction of a steel-sheet breakwater. The harbor would have an interior depth of 8 to 10 feet, while the marina entrance would have a depth of 12 feet. The moorage system would be either a fixed-pier or floating dock arrangement. A launching ramp and a service island would also be provided. The marina would be accessed via a new road constructed on the existing roadbed of the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) Railroad. Five alternative alignments for the access route which would minimize impacts to National Park Service property are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of April 1989. Under the proposed action, the access road would involve about 3,100 linear feet of the IHB railroad, or roughly 9.4 acres. The proposed route would follow the IHB corridor from US 12/20 north and east to the NIPSCO transmission line right-of-way. The roadway would then be routed onto USX property, and continue northeast to the west boundary of the national lakeshore. The access route would then turn north, traveling adjacent to, but outside, the National Park Service boundary for the remainder of its distance to the marine site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina development would meet the regional demand for recreational boating and lakefront facilities for public use in Gary. One site would support the development of additional housing and business uses. A new opening to be made in the USX breakwater would enhance water circulation and provide access to a sheltered sedimentary environment for fish. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 13.1 fewer acres of vegetation than the route considered in the draft EIS. It would also avoid adversely affecting the blue lupine, the host plant for the Karner blue butterfly, an endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would result in temporary turbidity and alteration of bottom topography. Some trace metals could be released during construction, but the metals would not be highly soluble. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 4.1 acres of vegetation.

AN - 36406780; 5343 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 under consideration in this draft EIS 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 proposed action would involve several stream crossings and the placement of fill in wetlands. The estimated cost for rights-of-way acquisition, construction, and wetlands mitigation of the build alternatives is $65.2 million to $101 million. 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: Displacement of 70 to 114 residential properties, 3 to 11 commercial properties, and a possible governmental property would occur under the build alternatives. Other properties that would adversely affected include 1 to 2 schools, 1 to 2 churches, a fire/police facility, a utility, a structure of architectural significance, and 3 to 6 archaeological sites. Noise impacts would substantially increase at up to 28 monitoring locations. Stream crossings would be required at 8 or 9 locations, and from 34 to 229 acres of wetlands would be disturbed. Under the build alternatives, some 63 to 211 acres of agricultural cropland, and 11 to 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.

AN - 36412252; 5335 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a wetlands enhancement project for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and four associated islands in San Joaquin and Contra Costa counties, California, is proposed. The project would be located on Bacon Island and Bouldin Island in San Joaquin County and the Holland and Webb tracts in Contra Costa County. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Generally, the project would involve storage of winter flows of water and development of seasonal wetland waterfowl habitat on the four islands. The water would be pumped from the islands into the delta in the summer for sale for beneficial uses. During the fall, the islands would be managed as waterfowl habitat where private waterfowl hunting would be permitted. To operate its proposed project, the applicant, Delta Wetlands, would divert unregulated delta outflow under appropriative water rights during the period extending from January through April, when water is available for appropriation. Water stored by the project would be discharged from the four delta islands from May through July. Discharged water would mix in the delta pool with delta inflows from the Sacramento River and other tributary rivers and be available as delta outflow or as export water. From August through December, when the island bottoms would be exposed, the islands would be revegetated, either naturally or artificially, with wetland plants of value to wintering waterfowl as forage and cover. From October through December, the islands would be flooded to shallow depths under riparian water rights to attract wintering waterfowl and to support operations of private waterfowl hunting clubs. Sufficient water would be diverted to permit discharge of 270,000 acre-feet (af) of water to the delta for sale. To achieve the proposed water discharge level, approximately 312,000 af of water would be diverted under the requested appropriative water rights; evaporation from the surface of the stored water would account for the difference between the diverted and discharged amounts. In order to implement this proposal, Delta Water would construct siphons, pumps, and small boat docks on delta channels and use hydraulic fill to buttress perimeter levees and construct interior levees on the islands. The project would include provisions for levee protection, seepage control, interior drainage, management of habitat associated with water storage areas, recreational facilities, and management of 900 acres of riparian, wetland, and upland wildlife habitat. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to enhancing the value of the islands as waterfowl habitat, the project would increase the availability of high-quality water and the extent and value of wetland wildlife habitat in the delta. The delta is an important source of water for much of southern California; it is considered one of the state's most valuable suppliers. Hunting and other recreational values of the enhanced islands would improve significantly. The project would provide a model for private sector efforts in the area of wetland enhancement. Levees would provide some flood control benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Salinity levels could increase in the south delta area and at export locations if reverse flows were caused or enhanced during diversions to storage or during riparian diversions to seasonal wetlands. Trihalomethane precursors, organic concentrations, and algal concentrations could be increased in export water. Stored water could be contaminated by historic waste disposal sites on the islands. Surface waters could be contaminated by domestic wastes from the proposed hunting club facilities. Seepage and wind erosion from levees could create flood hazards, affecting utilities and State Route 12. Delta smelt larvae and juveniles could be entrained. Approximately 248 acres of riparian woodland and 224 acres of perennial freshwater marsh would be inundated. Annual watergrass in seasonal wetlands and special-status plant populations along perimeter levees could be lost. Wintering habitat for swans and geese would be reduced, and prime agricultural land would be converted to nonagricultural uses, reducing farm jobs. Historic and prehistoric sites would be disturbed by the construction of project facilities.

In 1984, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook the excavation of a series of five cache pits exposed through lake bank erosion along the east edge of the site. The current analyses involved a wide range of cultural materials (ceramics, lithics, faunal and floral samples) and included the submission of two charcoal samples for radiocarbon dating. Dates of 510+ or -80 B.P., and 210+ or -80 B.P. were obtained. The latter date, combined with the ceramic analyses and seriation accomplished on both the 1984 materials and the larger collections from earlier excavations, indicate the site was occupied from approximately A.D. 1525 to A.D. 1575. A summary of previous work undertaken at the Lower Grand in 1962-1964 and 1969 is also included in this report.

AN - 36397734; 5326 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 draft 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 20-foot width 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 is currently in progress regarding vernal pool fairy shrimp. 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 project right-of-way. Construction period disturbances would include temporary construction noise, dust and particulates, and temporary detours of local traffic.

The Corps of Engineers also operates more than 350 reservoir dams, most of which are either concrete gravity structures or embankment structures with accompanying attachments and appurtenances constructed of plain or reinforced concrete. Many of these structures require or will require significant repairs to ensure safe and efficient operations. A quantitative rating system for the condition of concrete in gravity dams and attachments and appurtenances provides objective information to aid in making the subjective decision of which dam, which structural unit within a dam, and which deficiency within a structural unit most merit repair. Successive ratings with time would provide a measure of the rate of deterioration. The methodology for such a system was originally developed for pavement (Shahin, Darter, and Kohn, 1976-1977) and has been used previously for navigation locks (Bullock, 1989). JF - Technical Report.

The computation of accurate water surface profiles through bridges is necessary in flood damage reduction studies, channel design and analysis, and stream stability and scour evaluations. There are several one-dimensional water surface profile computer programs available for performing these types of computations. The most widely used of these programs are HEC-2 (HEC, 1991) and WSPRO (FHWA, 1990). The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has recently released a new program for computing one-dimensional water surface profiles, called HEC-RAS (HEC, 1995). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the new bridge hydraulics routines in HEC-RAS at sites with extensive observed data, and to compare HEC-RAS to HEC-2 and WSPRO, with respect to bridge modeling performance.

The accurate prediction of the energy losses in the contraction reach upstream of the bridge and the expansion reach downstream of the bridge using one-dimensional models presents particular difficulty. Modeling these reaches requires the accurate evaluation of four parameters: the expansion reach length, L sub(e); the contraction reach length, L sub(c); the expansion coefficient, C sub(e); and the contraction coefficient, C sub(c). This report presents research conducted by the author to investigate these four parameters through the use of field data, two-dimensional hydraulic modeling, and one-dimensional modeling.

Reservoir inflow data, reflecting alternative watershed management strategies, were developed at the University of Arizona. The primary question addressed in this study is whether the existing reservoirs could effectively utilize increased watershed yield. Reservoir operation simulations were performed, with the derived flow data, to determine reservoir yield.

AN - 36410738; 5314 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of a permanent site for ocean disposal of material dredged from channels within the greater Miami area of Florida is proposed. The preferred alternative (the proposed action) would be to designate for permanent use the currently designated interim site, an area of approximately one square nautical mile. The site has the following coordinates: 25 degrees, 45 minutes, 30 seconds north latitude (N), 80 degrees, 3 minutes, 54 seconds west longitude (W); 25 degrees, 45 minutes, 30 seconds N, 80 degrees, 2 minutes, 50 seconds W; 25 degrees, 44 minutes, 30 seconds N, 80 degrees, 2 minutes, 50 seconds W; and 25 degrees, 44 minutes, 30 seconds N, 80 degrees, 3 minutes, 54 seconds W. The site is centered at 25 degrees, 45 minutes N, 80 degrees, 3 minutes, 22 seconds W. The site is situated on the continental slope. Depths at the site range from approximately 427 to 785 feet. The depth at the center is approximately 625 feet. The average declivity of the slope at the site is approximately 325 feet per nautical mile. A 1986 survey of the site found surficial sediments, comprised primarily of fine sands and coarse silt in the vicinity of the proposed site. Sediments are well-sorted and relatively uniform throughout the area. In addition to a No Action alternative and the proposed action designating the interim ocean dumping site as a permanent dredged material site, the selection of alternative sites on or beyond the continental shelf are under consideration in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Availability of an ocean dumping site in an area where sufficient upland sites are unavailable would provide for an environmentally sound, economically feasible means of disposing of materials dredged from Miami channels. As a result, the navigability of area channels would be maintained for economic use as well as recreational purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal operations would result in water quality perturbations, including turbidity plumes, the release of chemicals, and lowered dissolved oxygen concentrations. Site benthos would be smothered, and site bathymetry and sediment composition would be altered. Use of the site would result in irretrievable loss of sand that could be used for fill.

AN - 36384987; 5306 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Santa Paula Creek in south central Ventura County, California, is proposed. The creek, a tributary of the Santa Clara River, drains an area of about 45 square miles. It is located immediately east of the city of Santa Paula, roughly 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The watershed has a long history of flooding problems dating back to the initial settlement of the area in the 1800's. The project area extends along Santa Paula Creek from Steckel Park to the Santa Clara River. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative E) would involve removal of the existing 1,790-foot-long concrete channel and the restoration of the natural channel bottom. After restoration, the sideslopes would be regraded to a trapezoidal configuration and protected with grouted stone. Channel capacity within the existing county right-of-way would be improved from river mile 0.17 to river mile 1.82. The existing railroad bridge would be modified: a bridge pier would be placed in the channel to support the bridge, and a rectangular channel would be constructed under the bridge to maximize channel capacity. A fish passage structure would be constructed on the west side of the grouted stone inlet. The area above the grouted stone would be planted with native alluvial scrub vegetation. Average height of the vegetation strip would be approximately 11 feet. This project would provide the maximum possible in-channel sediment storage. The channel would be excavated from several feet to a maximum of 20 feet below the existing invert. Creek banks would be stabilized using grouted stone from the toe to the top of the water surface profile. The first cost of the plan is $12.2 million. The benefit-cost ratio is 1.54. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would reduce flood damages within the city of Santa Paula, reduce the economic burdens of flooding, and provide better access to and across the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the permanent loss of 6.82 acres of alluvial scrub, 2.84 acres of riparian habitat, and 2.51 acres of riparian scrub habitat. Channel excavation would cause short-term increases in sediment loading and turbidity.

Preparation date: August 24, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED INVESTIGATION, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1991). AN - 15224482; 5298 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam, the construction and improvement of levees, and the development of associated facilities in order to provide flood protection to the American River watershed in the Sacramento area of California are proposed. The American River basin drains approximately 2,100 square miles along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in northern California. The study area for this project includes the lower American River between Folsom Dam and the Sacramento River, the Natomas area of Sacramento, the American River and its tributaries flowing into Folsom Reservoir, and the Sacramento River from the American River upstream to the Fremont Weir. The Yolo Bypass and its immediate tributaries and distributaries are also included in the investigation as areas receiving hydraulic mitigation. Under the selected plan, a peak-flow detention dam of concrete gravity design would be constructed near the city of Auburn with a reservoir storage capacity of 545,000 acre-feet. Impounded water would reach a maximum elevation of 868.5 feet above sea level and cover approximately 4,000 acres. From streambed, at an elevation of 500 feet above sea level, the dam would be 425 feet high and detain floodwaters up to 370 feet deep. As proposed in this supplement to draft EIS of December 1991, the dam would be 2,600 feet long at the crest; its width would be 400 feet at the base and would decrease to 25 feet at the crest. Dam construction would require 4.6 million cubic yards of aggregate material, the bulk of which would be mined from a nearby quarry and transported to the dam site by conveyor. Outlet capacity for the dam would be provided by 12 five-foot-by-nine-foot rectangular box sluices, with a combined total capacity of 87,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Levee improvements in the Natomas area would also be provided. The 600-foot-long spillway would be located in the center of the dam and have a design capacity of 860,000 cfs. Other project components would include the relocation of 1.8 miles of Highway 49, with a bridge to be built over the North Fork at river mile 23; the improvement of levees along the perimeter of the Natomas Basin and on Dry and Arcade creeks; and the development of trails and day use facilities. The estimated first cost of the project is $746 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide 200-year flood protection in the American River floodplain. Extensive development within the floodplain would be afforded maximum protection against flood flows. Levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in local streams and drainage systems located east of Natomas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace 6,032 acres of land in the Auburn area, including 5,267 acres of federal land and 757 acres of private land, for which rights would be acquired. Intermittent inundation of the detention basin would disturb terrestrial wildlife habitat, and levee and weir improvements in the Natomas area would displace wildlife habitat permanently. Dam operation would also threaten fish inhabiting the reservoir and the lower reaches of the dam.

These investigations consist of placing monitoring wells and periodically collecting samples for laboratory analysis. Additionally, several of the sites are to be investigated geophysically to determine if any anomalous areas exist. One of the sites, Cluster 3, a suspected landfill area is the focus of this report. Geophysical surveys were conducted to help delineate any anomalies indicative of buried waste, waste containers, boundaries of burial trenches, and the depth to water table. The geophysical methods utilized at the site were electromagnetic induction (EM), magnetics, and seismic refraction.

AN - 36402817; 5261 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, 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. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the restoration project would include the acquisition and decommissioning of both dams, the draining of the reservoirs, and the removal of all or part of the dams, powerhouses, and auxiliary structures. These actions would require the diversion of the river around the dams and the management of 17 million cubic yards of sediments that have accumulated behind the dams over the past 80 years. The river could be diverted by way of a tunnel, surface diversion channel, low level diversion through the dam structure, or by notching dam down from the top. Sediment could be transported naturally by the river, stabilized on site, or dredged and removed offsite. Pieces of the dam or historically important structures could be left in place. Restoration efforts would begin by planting some species in the middle and upper river while the dams are still in place. To accommodate juvenile downstream migration of these species, turbine runners might need to be removed at both dams. 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: 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.

AN - 36397330; 5258 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Loring Air Force Base (AFB), located in Aroostook County, Maine, is proposed. The 9,035-acre Loring AFB is located 400 miles north of Boston and 5 miles west and south of the Canadian border at New Brunswick. It consists of the 8,317-acre main base as well as nine off-site parcels totaling 718 acres. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would include a comprehensive reuse plan for a mixed-use airport with civilian aviation activities, including general aviation, commercial aviation, maintenance, and air cargo components. These aviation uses would require up 1,895 acres of on-site property. Airfield improvements would include the installation of a precision instrument landing system and approach path on Runway 01/19, security fencing, runway and taxiway guidance signs, an airport beacon, and a weather observation station. Aviation support facilities, to be located west and south of the runway, would include the air traffic control tower, fuel system, fire station, hangars, and air cargo, maintenance, commercial aviation, and general aviation buildings. Additional uses of the property would include 727 acres for industrial development; 102 acres for medical and educational facilities; 194 acres for office and other commercial uses; 551 acres for residential land uses, 1,717 acres for open space and an urban park, and 3,136 acres for agricultural and forestry development. The 594-acre Madawaska Dam site, located off-site, would be set aside as a natural resource conservation area. This draft EIS represents a revision of the final EIS of August 1994; that EIS was rescinded in order to incorporate public comments and changes in the community reuse plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. Under the proposed action, reuse activities would increase employment levels by approximately 4,461 direct jobs and 3,339 secondary jobs by the year 2014. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed development activities would convert 1,828 acres of farmland to nonagricultural use. The quantities of hazardous materials used and wastes generated would be greater than under closure conditions. The responsibility for managing hazardous materials and wastes would shift from a single user to multiple, independent users, which could reduce the area's capability of responding to hazardous materials and waste spills and would increase the regulatory burden. Air pollutant emissions would increase, and surface water runoff would result from 572 acres of ground disturbance. The number of people living in areas exposed to surface traffic noise levels of 65 decibels or greater would increase by 482. Development activities could adversely affect historic properties that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: July 28, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED NEW WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR, JOHNSON AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 36384583; 5235 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,172-acre water supply reservoir to be located in Johnson and Williamson counties, near the community of Creal Springs, Illinois, is proposed. The reservoir would provide water to the city of Marion and several neighboring developments. Marion is a community in south central Illinois, located 100 air miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. The Lake of Egypt Water District, a rural area located south of Marion, has in principle an agreement with Marion to purchase up to three million gallons of water if a new water supply source is developed. The current water source, Marion City Lake located south of the city limits on Limb Creek, lacks the capacity to meet anticipated demands; its supply is routinely supplemented by pipeline from Herrin Lake, which also has a limited capacity. In addition, significant treatment is required to ensure that the water from the Marion City Lake meets federal standards. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred plan, the reservoir would be created on Sugar Creek; the dam would be located one mile south of the community of Creal Springs and 10 miles southeast of Marion. The lake would have a dependable yield of 8.0 million gallons per day; it would require a pipeline 12.2 miles long to connect to the water treatment in Marion. For much of its length, this pipeline would follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way; 14 stream crossings would be necessary. An additional eight miles of pipeline would be needed to transport water to the Lake of Egypt Water District treatment facility. Other alternatives under consideration include the purchasing of treated water from nearby communities and building new pipelines to nearby lakes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, the reservoir would provide a long-term dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities. The reservoir would provide opportunities for fishing and boating. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would require the clearing of 9 acres of woodland and 14 acres of cropland, and the filling of one acre of wetlands. The reservoir would inundate 533 acres of agricultural lands, 594 vegetated acres, and 28 individual wetland sites comprising over 40 acres. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, would be lost as a result of reservoir development. Eleven historic and prehistoric sites have been identified in the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: July 26, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SEARS ISLAND DRY CARGO TERMINAL AND ACCESS ROAD (PROJECT RS-0252(3)), SEARSPORT, WALDO COUNTY, MAINE (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1987). AN - 36400664; 5231 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a marine dry cargo terminal with both rail and highway access on Sears Island, located in Searsport, Maine, is proposed. The terminal would be built on approximately 50 acres of land along the western shore of the new undeveloped 940-acre island. The initial facility would include a 63-acre working area with a conventional marginal wharf or an offshore marginal wharf and two ship berths, with the potential for future expansion to a 96-acre working area. The terminal would handle breakbulk (primarily paper and forest products), dry bulk (woodchips), and containerized cargoes. Shoreside facilities would include an administration building, storage areas, on-site sanitary waste treatment facilities, and parking areas. The development of the facility would require the construction of a 2.3-mile, two-lane secondary highway and a 1.5-mile railroad spur. Access from the mainland would be provided by a 1,200-foot-long solid fill causeway. The development of the project was halted in 1989 in response to an injunction; at that time, the access road, causeway, and marine dredging were complete. This draft supplement to the final EIS of October 1987 examines the effect of terminal construction on wetlands and other natural resources. Construction costs range from $48.0 million to $65.1 million, depending on the terminal design alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide transportation cost savings to Maine-based industries, especially the forest industry, through the reduction in overland travel distances between industrial facilities and port facilities. The terminal would generate jobs directly and indirectly and generally boost the Maine economy, particularly sectors associated with import-export activities. State investments in port facilities would be targeted where new jobs and economic activity are most needed. The primary socioeconomic impacts of the project would include the creation of up to 2,800 person-years of employment during full construction of the pier, the creation of 497 permanent jobs, the addition of up to $15.6 million in personal income to the regional economy, the expansion of municipal and state revenues by $255,000 per year and $2.6 million per year, respectively, and inland transportation cost savings of $1.1 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The earlier construction had involved the filling of 11.6 acres freshwater wetlands and 0.8 acres of eelgrass habitat; the construction of the initial facility would involve the filling of 11.7 acres of freshwater wetlands and 13.1 acres of eelgrass habitat. The eventual expansion of the facility would fill up to 12.6 additional acres of freshwater wetlands. The project would permanently displace marine and upland wildlife habitat and disrupt benthic habitat during dredging and dredge spoil disposal activities.

Preparation date: July 21, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SPECIAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE HACKENSACK MEADOWLANDS DISTRICT, BERGEN AND HUDSON COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY. AN - 36397133; 5238 AB - PURPOSE: The development and implementation of a special area management plan (SAMP) for the Hackensack Meadowlands District, located in Bergen and Hudson counties of northeastern New Jersey, is proposed. The SAMP is a comprehensive plan providing for natural resource protection, the remediation of pollution, and reasonable economic growth in the district. The Hackensack Meadowlands District is a 32-square-mile area located less than five miles from New York City in New Jersey's Coastal Zone. The Hackensack River, which is tidal in this area, flows through the middle of the district. The district contains approximately 11,500 acres of upland and 8,500 acres of wetland and open water, and includes portions of 14 municipalities. Most of the upland areas are developed, and the principal land uses in the uplands are industrial, landfill (including orphan sites), institutional, and commercial. Undeveloped areas are largely wetlands, and are currently under intense development pressure. The district is a cross-roads of several major turnpikes and highways. Because of the proximity of sizable vacant tracts in the district to major highway and rail systems, and because of these lands are near New York City and major residential and employment centers in northern New Jersey, the economic value of these lands is very high. The population and employment growth projected for the region indicates a need for additional housing and work spaces in the district. Current water quality impacts to the Hackensack River and adjacent wetlands result from discharges from five sewage treatment plants, approximately 50 permitted industrial sources, cooling water from three major power plants, non-point source runoff (including runoff from three Superfund sites and six hazardous waste sites), raw sewage and stormwater from several combined sewer overflows, and runoff and leachate from over 1,000 acres of landfills which have not been properly closed. Alternatives under consideration in this draft EIS consist of varying numbers of specific alternatives within the following three groups: out-of-district alternatives, which evaluate the degree to which alternative locations--presumed to have lesser adverse environmental impacts--would be available to accommodate future growth; in-district alternatives, which assess the comparative environmental effects of five representative land management scenarios and a No Action Alternative; and environmental improvement program (EIP) alternatives, providing for coordination of environmental remediation and enhancement efforts and implementation of a full range of specific improvements. Under the preferred alternative, a comprehension plan for the future of the district would be implemented. Under the proposed land plan, the project would result in the addition of 17.8 million square feet (sf) of primary office space, 2.7 million sf of commercial space, 13,920 residential housing units, and 15.1 million sf of office /distribution space in the district. The proposed transportation improvements would require utilization of approximately 160 acres of district land. Under the preferred alternative, a specific future land use plan; an environmental improvement program; and requirements for environmental mitigation, especially wetland mitigation, would be adopted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SAMP would provide necessary guidance in order to promote the orderly comprehensive economic development within the district while maintaining or enhancing environmental protection requirements critical to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Economic development in the district would require wetland fill and other the disruption or destruction of significant acreages of currently undeveloped land.

AN - 36402774; 5207 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a water treatment plant in order to supply drinking water to the residents of Henrico County, Virginia, is proposed. The county currently purchases 90 percent of its drinking water from the city of Richmond under a water supply contract that became effective in July 1985 and continues through June 1995. The remaining 10 percent of the county's water is presently supplied from the county's groundwater system. Although the capacity of the Richmond system is being increased, it is not certain that the plant would be able to meet future peak demand in Henrico County through 2010. Furthermore, the Richmond plant would probably require significant upgrading in order to comply with new federal water quality standards. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, a water treatment plant with a design capacity of 35 million gallons per day (mgd), which would meet the water demands in the western portion of the county through the year 2003, would be constructed; in 2003, the plant would be re-rated to handle 55 mgd to handle the county's water demand through 2010. The plant would draw water from the James River. It would also meet the water supply needs of portions of Goochland and Hanover counties. The plant, which would be located at the intersection of Gaskins and Three Chopt roads in western Henrico County, would be a state-of-the-art facility incorporating preozonation, intermediate ionization, rapid mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, and granular activated carbon deep-bed filtration. The major components of the project would include a raw water intake screen, a backwash control building, a raw water pumping station, and dual 60-inch intake pipes to convey water from the intake screens to the pumping station. A 15-foot-wide access road would be built along the 2,800-foot pipe alignment. Construction of the intake would require the dredging of surface sediment, as well as the removal of underlying rock, in the James River and in the area between the submerged intake screens and the backwash control building. A water conservation program would also be implemented. The estimated capital costs of the plant are $78.5 million. The plant would be completed by 1998. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, regional water capacity would be increased and system reliability would be improved through reduced reliance on the Richmond plant. The presence of two regional treatment plants on the north side of the James River, with interconnected distribution systems, would allow local water systems served by these plants to mutually support one another in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water withdrawals from the James River, and the presence of the intake, would adversely affect fish habitat. Some wetlands would be disturbed by the construction of the intake structure, pumping station, and other facilities.

Preparation date: June 29, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BOSTON HARBOR NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT DREDGING, BERTH DREDGING PROJECT, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36384814; 5206 AB - PURPOSE: The dredging and disposal of material from the federal navigation channel and associated berthing areas in Boston Harbor in Massachusetts is proposed. The project would involve deepening three tributary channels (Reserved Channel, Mystic River Channel, and Chelsea Creek Channel) and two areas in the Main Ship Channel in order to provide sufficient ship maneuvering areas for the deep-drafted vessels that currently transit the area. The Reserved Channel would be deepened to 40 feet mean low water (MLW), and a small, 40-foot-deep turning area would be established at the confluence of the Reserved Channel and the Main Ship Channel. Additionally, portions of the existing 35-foot Mystic River Channel and Chelsea Creek Channel would be dredged to a depth of 40 feet MLW and 38 feet MLW, respectively. The 35-foot-deep confluence of these two upper harbor tributary channels would also be dredged to depth of 40 feet MLW. Approximately 1.4 million cubic yards (cy) of silt would be generated from the project, requiring disposal; up to 4.4 million cy would require disposal over 50 years. An additional 132,000 cy of rock and 2.0 million cy of parent material would be removed and disposed at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. Dredged material silt would be disposed within the footprint of the dredging project in the Mystic River Channel, the Chelsea River Channel, and the Inner Confluence Channel. The project would use mechanical bucket dredging and blasting rock where necessary; the project would be completed in 18 months. The anticipated dredging rate would generate two to four barge trips per day. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Harbor improvements would make vessel passage less dependent on tidal navigation or lightening. They would also enable Boston 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. The project would also improve water quality by removing and isolating silts in the channels and berths containing contaminants that are continually resuspended during storm and vessel activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms and demersal fish would be killed during dredging and blasting. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal site.

AN - 36410293; 5175 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.5-mile, north-south, multilane, divided highway linking Interstate 55 (I-55) to I-80, located near Chicago, Illinois, is proposed. The highway, to be known as Federal Aid Primary Route 340, would pass through Cook, DuPage, and Will counties, 25 miles southwest of the downtown Chicago area. The major areas of controversy concern the location of interchanges and the protection of the north bluff area of the Des Plaines River Valley, which includes a creek, a nature preserve, and two forest preserves. Numerous alternatives evaluated in the early stages of the project were found to be inadequate; these include a No Action Alternative, the Transportation System Management Alternative, the Mass Transit Alternative, an upgrade of the existing highway, and an expressway build alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be a freeway with interchanges at I-80, US 6, Illinois Route 7 (159th Street), 143rd Street/Illinois Route 171 (Archer Avenue, 127th Street, and I-55). Densely populated subdivisions would be avoided, and sufficient right-of-way would be acquired to allow local agencies to construct a bikeway outside of access control and right-of-way limits. Under current plans, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority would construct and finance the freeway as a toll facility. Additional properties threatened by the development would include the Lustron House, an architecturally significant building on 135th Street, a recreational trail following the Des Plaines River, and a canal that runs parallel to the river. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of July 1994 contains additional analysis and technical revisions to the preferred alternative, primarily to bring the project into compliance with regulatory requirements of the State Toll Highway Authority. Analysis areas include the air and noise impacts of tollway facilities, and revisions to the bikeway corridor, the drainage design of the Des Plaines River Bridge, and the tollway interchanges. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would ease suburban traffic congestion by improving the fragmented highway network. Ending the project at I-80 would provide access to the major east-west route serving southern communities such as New Lenox and Joliet. The freeway would result in reduced travel time and distances, energy savings, and reduced emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 47 residences, 3 businesses, 1 structure eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and 9.1 acres of wetlands. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect several locations along the project.

AN - 36406551; 5205 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Cougar and Blue River reservoir projects in order to control the temperature of downstream releases in the McKenzie subbasin of the Willamette River basin in Lane and Linn counties, Oregon, is proposed. This EIS examines the feasibility of the project for the study area focusing on the mainstem McKenzie upstream from Leaburg Dam to the confluence of the South Fork McKenzie River; it also includes the South Fork and Blue Rivers downstream from the Corps dams, as well as the lakes of both projects. The projects were constructed in the 1960s and resulted in the unanticipated alteration of downstream water temperatures, which are cooler in the late spring/summer and warmer in the late fall/winter than pre-project conditions. Cooling occurs because flows are released from outlets located at the bottom of these deep, stratified reservoirs where water is cooler than at the surface. Warming occurs because drawdown of the lakes for flood control causes warmer water to reach the outlets. Under the proposed action, the modification would be effected in order to replicate pre-project water temperatures that would benefit anadromous and native fish species. Three fish species are key indicators of temperature modification results: Willamette spring chinook salmon, a species of special concern being reviewed for listing as endangered; bull trout, a candidate for listing as endangered; and native rainbow trout, an important sport fish. The alternatives considered include operational changes, a curtain barrier, mixing devices, and a selective withdrawal system. Selective withdrawal is the preferred alternative because of its proven reliability, durability, and operational flexibility. The initial drawdown for construction would expose the original streambed for most of the length of each reservoir, except near the dams where a residual pool would be maintained in order to eliminate sediment transport out of the reservoirs, reduce turbidity in the water released from the projects during construction, and provide refuge habitat for resident fish and aquatic organisms. At Cougar, a fish barrier screen would be installed over the diversion tunnel intake prior to initial reservoir drawdown. The fully-funded cost estimate for installing multilevel intake towers at both projects is $45 million. To the extent that it has been declared in the federal interest to modify the existing projects with multilevel, ported intake structures that would replicate pre-project downstream water temperatures, a No Action Alternative has not been included for consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Returning to a more natural cycle of water temperatures would restore an important component of the ecosystem required by the aquatic community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: No other projects would be available for use to offset flow impacts on the McKenzie if both projects were to be constructed concurrently. Recreational use would be expected to decrease during construction at each reservoir; most areas would remain open, while those deemed unsafe would be closed. The Cougar powerhouse would be inoperable during construction there, resulting in major losses in electrical energy production. Summer flows in the mainstem McKenzie would be reduced by up to 20 percent during the construction period.

AN - 36411989; 5203 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of navigability of Humboldt Bay Harbor, in Humboldt County, California, is proposed. Humboldt Bay is an estuary approximately 225 miles north of San Francisco; it is the only harbor between San Francisco and Coos Bay, Oregon, with deep-draft channels. The bay is an important spawning and nursery ground for Pacific herring, and provides habitat for some 95 fish species, over 200 bird species, and several marine mammal species. Seven of California's twelve shellfish reserves occupy the bay. Five bird species and three plant species identified as endangered occur in areas affected by the project. Commercial and recreational fishing and timber products are the leading industries, and extensive educational and scientific research is conducted on ecological issues. Issues of concern include the effects on air quality, noise levels, hydrology and water resources, geology and sediment quality, biological resources, cultural resources, transportation, and socioeconomic factors. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the improvements would include deepening the Bar and Entrance channels and the middle ground area of North Bay Channel to a depth of 48 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW); deepening the Samoa Channel and Samoa Turning Basin to a depth of 38 feet below MLLW; widening the Entrance Channel on the north side of the channel from the jetty heads through the middle ground to the turn in the North Bay Channel (with maximum widths ranging from 200 to 275 feet); moving the Entrance Channel edge north and away from the South Jetty by 100 feet; and widening and realigning the Samoa Turning Basin entrance. The project would consist of dredging the navigation channels, and the disposal of approximately 5.6 million cubic yards (cy) of dredged sediments in the Pacific Ocean at the proposed Section 102 Humboldt Open Ocean Disposal Site, and approximately 26,000 cy of dredged sediments unsuitable for unconfined aquatic disposal at the Louisiana Pacific land site, located on the North Spit of Humboldt Bay. The project would be expected to be completed in 10 to 11 months, with upland disposal of dredged material completed in approximately 3 to 4 days. The first cost for construction would be $14.9 million and the annualized cost $958,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve efficiencies in navigation and provide safer channels for existing deep-draft vessels calling at the harbor. The annual benefits derived from the project would be $2.26 million. The net annual benefits would be $1.3 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diesel-powered equipment used in dredging activities would create significant emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Odors could be emitted from dredged spoils exposed to the atmosphere due to decomposition of organic matter. Short-term nutrient enrichment caused by potential elevated concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in the dredged material could increase water turbidity by enhancing primary production.

AN - 36402727; 5202 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood protection measures at Arkansas City, located at the confluence of the Arkansas River and the Walnut River in southern Kansas, is proposed. The project would extend, raise, and strengthen the existing levee and widen the lower Walnut River to a 350-foot-bottom-width channel for about a two-mile reach. The realigned channel improvement would closely follow the authorized alignment, with minor changes made to fit existing levee and channel improvement features and to minimize real estate requirements. This supplement to the final EIS of April 1985 considers project design changes and associated impacts. Alignment corrections were made to reduce project costs overall by minimizing social impacts to property, residences, and businesses; environmental impacts to bottomland hardwoods and wetlands; and impacts to utilities. The most significant deviation to the levee alignment occurs immediately south of the Total Oil Refinery. Under the original project alignment, improvements to the existing levee would disturb petroleum products located in a riverside storage area. The shift in the Walnut River levee alignment to the east near the Total Oil Refinery property would necessitate the filling of approximately 2.5 acres of the natural Walnut River stream channel and would cause a loss of aquatic habitat. Inclusion of a pilot channel into the Walnut River channel improvement segment of the project would create aquatic habitat that would offset any losses associated with construction of the berms. Other levee realignments would be minor and would cause no significant wildlife losses or other environmental impacts. A state highway project would route north-south truck traffic to the east of Arkansas City through the Walnut River floodplain; an action to combine the highway bypass and flood protection projects was initiated by the City, calling for segment of the levee to be integrated with the bypass. At C Street Canal, an interior drainage feature of the integrated projects would be constructed solely by the city as an extension of the authorized project to maintain interior drainage flood control at pre-project levels. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed alignment changes would address flood control needs outlined in the final EIS. Walnut River Park, which was constructed with funds from Land and Water Conservation Act funds, cannot be converted to uses other than public outdoor recreation without the approval of the Secretary of the Interior; the channel improvement was shifted so that the project would not now adversely impact park lands or facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Placement of fill material into the Walnut River and into wetlands associated with the project would require an individual permit in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. A total of 3.3 acres in borrow area D would be developed as a wetland to mitigate the impacts on 2.3 acres of wetlands identified in the Section 404 evaluation. Environmental losses would include 35 acres of bottomland forest, 60 acres of grassland, 91 acres of farmland, 40 acres of aquatic habitat, and 2.3 acres of wetlands.

AN - 36401335; 5170 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 12.6-mile segment of US 26 from Rhododendron, Oregon, to the junction with Oregon 35 is proposed. US 26 serves as part of a route that connects the Portland metropolitan area with the recreational facilities at Mount Hood, Kah-Nee-Ta, and central Oregon. The highway traverses an environmentally sensitive and culturally rich portion of the Mount Hood National Forest and also serves as the commercial link between Portland and central Oregon. The two-lane study corridor experiences high levels of congestion during weekend peak use periods and has an accident rate that is twice the average for other rural highways in the state. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 2, the highway would be widened to three lanes from milepost (mp) 44.5 to mp 48.6. Under Alternative 3, the highway would be widened to three lanes from milepost (mp) 44.5 to mp 48.6 and from three lanes to four lanes from mp 48.6 to mp 57.5. Under Alternative 4, the entire study corridor would be widened to a four-lane highway. Under both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3, median turn lanes would be provided where necessary, along with guardrails and widened shoulders. Under all four of the alternatives, a travel demand management program that discourages single-vehicle use by visitors to the Mount Hood Meadows and Timberline Ski Areas would continue to be operated. Under both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3, parking fees would be increased and a transit service to the ski areas would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, traffic operation and safety would be improved along a section of highway that is used heavily by recreationists and commercial vehicles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative 4, the safety and efficiency of the study area would be improved more than under any of the other alternatives, but the project would also have the most adverse effects on the visual character of the landscape. Some property displacements (two garages associated with a residence) would also be required under Alternative 4.

AN - 15221073; 5169 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 25 miles of US 219 from I-68 in Garrett County, Maryland, to the interchange with State Route (SR) 3041 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. US 219 is a major north-south transportation corridor providing access from Canada and New York south through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. A 62-mile portion of this highway, from the Maryland border to Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, was designated as a corridor of the Appalachian Development Highway System in 1965. Within the project area, US 219 fails to meet current design criteria for horizontal curves, vertical grades, sight distances, pavement widths, and shoulder widths. Serious congestion problems occur in the Meyersdale area because of the high concentration of Amish vehicles and a substantial amount of east-west traffic adding to the traffic mix in the downtown area. The draft EIS of September 1994 was arranged in two parts: in Part I, a No Action Alternative, under which the existing US 219 corridor, and three corridors on new location for the entire 25-mile length of the project, would be upgraded, was considered; in Part II, eight alternatives for improving the section of US 219 in and around Meyersdale were considered. Under the preferred alternative, only the Meyersdale improvements would be implemented, and, more specifically, under the Western Alternative, the facility would extend 5.1 miles from Hunsrick Summit in the south to a point on US 219 near Indian Dig and Pony Farm Roads in the north. A four-lane, divided, limited-access highway would be constructed on new alignment to the west of the borough of Meyersdale and existing US 219. At the northern terminus, a grade-separated interchange would provide access in all directions. South of Meyersdale, the alignment would cross existing US 219, where a full diamond interchange would provide access to and from Meyersdale and Summit Township. Southbound traffic would merge directly onto existing US 219 at the southern terminus. The estimated construction costs under the preferred alternative are $66.0 million. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, includes corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, separate local and regional traffic, and improve the regional transportation network. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace up to six residences and three businesses, fill 1.9 acres of wetlands, encroach on 24 acres of floodplain, adversely affect 137.2 acres of farmland and 17 archaeological sites, and cross 10 streams.

Preparation date: June 7, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PORT OF LONG BEACH (DEEPENING) FEASIBILITY STUDY, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36384774; 5201 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the existing federal navigation project at Long Beach Harbor in order to meet existing and projected navigation needs of the Port of Long Beach, located in Los Angeles County, California, is proposed. The port has completed the deepening of the main channel and turning basin to berth 121 to a minimum of -76 feet mean low water as part of their pier J expansion project, completed in 1992. The port has indicated its desire to receive credit, if applicable, for its partial dredging of the federal navigation project that could result from this study in accordance with Section 4 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1988. The need for navigation improvements at Long Beach Harbor focuses on improving the efficiency of transporting crude petroleum to refineries in the San Pedro Bay region. Current deliveries are made by tankers ranging up to 262,000 deadweight tons with a design draft of about 68 feet. A channel depth of 72 feet would be required for these tankers to operate fully loaded. The existing depth of 60 feet places a constraint on the depth these tankers can load, resulting in inefficient operations and higher transportation costs per ton delivered. The proposed action (the National Economic Development (NED) plan) has been formulated in order to account for different design vessels and related channel dimensions required for safe transit, and associated dredging requirements, costs and benefits. Also considered were characteristics and quality of the material required for disposal and alternative methods of disposal. Potential use of disposal material for beach nourishment, landfill, and ecological restoration were examined. The project cost is estimated to average $3.176 million annually, with benefits estimated to be worth $34.685 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the modification would allow for more use of tankers carrying crude petroleum. Related activities would provide some positive contributions to the environment through the use of dredging material for the pier 400 landfill, which would reduce the need to obtain an equivalent amount of material from other sources. It would also provide some ecological benefits by filling in the deep pit areas to the more likely biologically productive surrounding shallower benthic areas. This could result in increased habitat suitable for California halibut spawning, which in turn could result in increased catches. Long-term air quality impacts would be beneficial, as less vessel trips would be required to deliver required petroleum volumes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in short-term adverse impacts related to turbidity and air quality during construction. The significant adverse air quality impact would be the emission of oxides of nitrogen and reactive organic compounds in exceedance of thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

AN - 36396752; 5167 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. The improvements are currently scheduled under the North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program for implementation by the end of fiscal year 1996. 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). This draft supplement considers two alternative interchanges with the Wilson bypass. The total estimated cost of the freeway is $80.1 million; the estimated cost of the interchange is $16.7 million. 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 533 acres of farmland, 307 acres of forest, and 62 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. The preferred interchange would displace an additional 10 residences and one church, 98 acres of farmland, 14 acres of forest, and 3.5 acres of wetlands.

AN - 36405584; 5112 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by CR Briggs Corporation of an open-pit, heap-leach gold mine project on a 940-acre site in the Panamint Valley, located in southeastern California, is proposed. The site is approximately 34 air miles northeast of the city of Ridgecrest and located about 3.5 miles west of the Panamint Ridge ridgeline that forms that southwestern boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Action alternatives recommending different ore beneficiation rates, a reduced project size, modified waste rock pile configurations, alternative waste rock and processed ore disposal, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Briggs project would mine ore and associated unmineralized rock from an open pit. Unmineralized rock would be discarded in waste rock dumps that would be constructed outward from the steep slopes of the Panamint Range. Ore would be processed using cyanide heap leach methods; gold would be recovered using carbon adsorption. The project would be designed to mine and process an estimated 21 million tons of ore and approximately 27 million tons of waste rock. At an average ore processing rate of four million tons annually, the project would operate for about six years. Major components of the project would include a mine pit, two waste rock piles, crushing and ore transport facilities, a heap leach pad, process water storage ponds, a gold processing plant, a clay borrow area, and growth media stockpiles. The heap leach pad and process water ponds would be constructed with low-permeability liners consisting of plastic membranes and compacted low-permeability, fine-grained soil. The soil would be supplied from an on-site borrow area and one off-site location. Power would be provided by on-site generators. Approximately 400 gallons per minute of water would be required, primarily for ore processing and dust control. During construction, surface soils from disturbed areas would be salvaged and stockpiled for use as growth media for final site reclamation. Reclamation would occur concurrent with site activities in areas that would not be subject to additional disturbance. Decommissioning and reclamation would occur for about one year after completion of operations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide 155 jobs during the construction and 120 during the operating period; the projected employment would generate local economic benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 450 acres of vegetation and adversely affect two species classified by the state as sensitive: the Townsend big-eared bat and the burrowing owl. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

The service area is situated just below the confluence of the Elizabeth, James, and Nansemond rivers. The regional landfill is one component of a multicomponent waste management system that also includes a refuse-derived fuel facility and power plant, a yard waste management facility, a tire recycling facility, a ferrous metal processing plant, a recycling program, and solid waste transfer stations located throughout the service area. The waste management system requires the use of the regional landfill to dispose of noncombustible and nonrecyclable materials as well as certain recycling wastes. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), approximately 230 acres of landfill space would be dedicated fill area, 190 acres would be used as borrow area, and approximately 25 acres would accommodate a leachate management area. The maximum fill height of the terraced area mound landfill, limited by the proximity of the Hampton Road Airport, would be 145 feet above the existing ground level. Methods that would extend the life of the current landfill are examined in this document but since they would not alleviate the eventual need for a new landfill, they are not considered as alternatives that could be implemented instead of the project. One other site alternatives for the landfill, a 700-acre site on the Isle of Wight, is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help meet the waste disposal needs of a fast-growing section of the southern Virginia. Expanding the existing site would be more cost-effective than developing a new site; otherwise life cycle costs through the year 2020 would increase $187 million for the Isle of Wight site. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion would adversely affect an estimated 377 acres of wetlands. Approximately 200 acres of wetlands would be filled by the landfill and perimeter roads, 152 acres would be excavated as borrow for daily cover material, and 25 acres would be converted to a leachate management facility. It is estimated that 64 species of amphibians and reptiles and 43 species of mammals occur in or near the expansion site. Since the site is heavily wooded and lies directly north of the Great Dismal Swamp, an estimated 55 species of birds and 2 endangered species would be present in the area.

AN - 36411618; 5195 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Little Calumet River, extending from the Indiana-Illinois state line eastward to the confluence with Deep River, is proposed. The entire project area is located in Lake County, Indiana, and includes portions of the communities of Gary, Griffith, Hammond, Highland, and Munster. Under the plan proposed in the final EIS of July 1982, improvement would involve replacing the existing levees west of Cline Avenue with higher levees or floodwalls. Columbia Street and Indianapolis Boulevard bridges would be raised, and the C&O and Erie and Lackawanna Railroad bridges would be removed. East of Cline Avenue portions of the river channel would be dredged, the channel itself would be moved near Interstate 80/94, and new levees would be constructed, set back from the river's edge. Several modifications and additions to the project have occurred since the issuance of the final EIS; these changes are the subject of this final supplement. Under the revised plan, improvement would call for levees, floodwalls, or embankments along the entire length of both sides of the river through the project area. In the eastern portions of the project, the flood protection measures would be set back from the river, allowing a broader, more natural floodplain to exist while protecting existing residences or business concerns. One levee segment west of Cline would be moved away from the river, broadening the floodplain acreage on the south side of the river in that area. In the east reach of the project area, the levee segments proposed in 1982 would now be connected by floodwalls, levees, or embankments. This final supplement, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains public comments on the draft supplement and agency responses; the draft supplement has been reissued as a companion document. Under the new preferred plan, the project would be essentially unchanged from that described in the draft supplement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, the project would help prevent flooding of commercial and residential areas and transportation corridors in the communities located in the project area, and also create a system of parklands and recreational facilities to encourage conservation and appreciation of natural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Changes in the alignment of some levees would result in the loss of up to 305 acres of forested wetlands, the relocation of some residents, and the loss of local property taxes because of the conversion of property from private to public ownership.

AN - 36408675; 5161 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an approximately 15-mile-long freeway from Interstate 85 (I-85) to Lawndale Drive (State Route (SR) 2303), bypassing Greensboro, in Guilford County, North Carolina, is proposed. The four- to eight-lane facility, to be known as the Greensboro Western Urban Loop, would have a minimum right-of-way of 300 feet. Lawndale Drive is the northern terminus of the proposed Greensboro Eastern/Northern Urban Loop. Access to the facility would be controlled via interchanges and grade separation structures. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the 11.4-mile Eastern Alternative, the facility would follow the 1989 Greensboro Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan alignment, crossing I-40 between Wendover Avenue (SR 1541) and NC 6 (Patterson Street) and extending northward to West Market Street (US 421) and Friendly Avenue (SR 2147). From Friendly Avenue, the facility would generally parallel Jefferson Road and New Garden Road. The facility under the Eastern Alternative would join that under the Western Alternative and the Middle Alternative west of US 220 (Battleground Avenue) and extend to Lawndale Drive. Under the 13.6-mile Middle Alternative, the facility would begin at Campground Road, cross I-40 near Guilford College Road, cross West market Street near Swing Road, cross Friendly Avenue near Meadowcreek Lane, and join the facility under the Western Alternative just south of Fleming Road. Under both the Western Alternative and Middle Alternative, the facility would be coterminous from Fleming Road to Lawndale Drive. Under the 14.5-mile Western Alternative, the facility would begin at Campground Road and I-85, extend northwest to cross I-40 near Chimney Rock Road, cross West Market Street and Friendly Avenue near Stagecoach Trail, continue north to Fleming Road, and turn east to cross Lawndale Drive just north of Cottage Place. Three crossovers that shift between the alternative alignments at key locations have also been studied. These crossovers would enable portions of different alternative alignments to be combined. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would generally follow the Western Alternative alignment but crosses over to the Eastern Alternative alignment just prior to the I-85 interchange. The estimated cost is $231.0 million. A transportation system management alternative and a multi-modal system alternative are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic needs in the Greensboro area would be met and the goals of the 1989 Greensboro Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan would be fulfilled so far as the affected corridors are concerned. Existing and planned thoroughfares would be connected, and the project would constitute a portion of a full urban loop, helping to remove long-distance traffic from local facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 336 residences, including minority residences, and 16 businesses. In addition, rights-of-way developments would result in the loss of significant areas of field, forest, and urban land as well as some open water. Up to 44.4 acres of floodplains would be adversely affected, and 24 streams would be crossed. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. The highway could traverse a number of hazardous waste sites.

AN - 36384546; 5193 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve navigational efficiency on the Houston Ship Channel, its ancillary channels, and the Galveston Channel, located in Galveston and Harris counties, Texas, is proposed. This study, along with a similar study of the Texas City Channel already completed, is being accomplished under the Comprehensive Galveston Bay Area Navigation Study. The Houston Ship Channel is presently 40 feet deep by 400 feet wide. Under the preferred alternative, the existing 40-foot deep channel from the Gulf of Mexico, through Bolivar Roads, to the port of Galveston would be deepened to 45 feet deep by a varying width ranging from 650 to 1,112 feet. From Bolivar Roads to the port of Galveston, the channel would be 530 feet wide and dredged material from the operation would be deposited in the Gulf. Material from the Galveston Channel and the bayou reach of the channel would be placed in upland, fully-confined disposal areas and used to restore Goat Island. Material from the bay reach would be used for building 4,250 acres of tidal marsh, a 12-acre colonial waterbird nesting island, and other island restoration projects. The plan would involve the disposal of almost 79 million cubic yards (cy) of new-work dredged material and over 260 million cy of maintenance material over the 50-year life of the project. This draft supplement to the final EIS of May 1995 presents additional analysis of the effects of dredging and disposal plans on the environmental resources of the Bay. The estimated first costs of the project are $271.4 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the channel would allow for use of larger, more efficient vessels. Greater width and bend easings would allow the use of larger ships without depth increases. Vessel safety would be improved as well, since the use of larger vessels would reduce the number of vessel trips required and, hence, the number of opportunities for accidents. The number and duration of vessel delays would also decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bay salinity during certain inflow conditions could be increased by 1.2 parts per thousand. Hurricane surge and oil spill changes could result in small and generally insignificant effects. Cultural resources along the channels could be disturbed. Dredging would increase turbidity temporarily in localized areas. Channel widening and construction of the dredged disposal areas would displace habitat. Shrimp and fin fish production would decline periodically due to dredging and disposal operations.

Preparation date: May 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TEXASGULF, INC., MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1994). AN - 36405540; 5111 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the surface mining (open-pit) operations by Texasgulf, Inc., near the town of Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina, is proposed. The 14,200-acre project area is located on the north shore of the Pamlico River six miles north of Aurora. Since 1965, Texasgulf has operated phosphate mining and processing facilities in the area; through 1991, some 4,249 acres have been mined, and of this amount, some 716 acres have been reclaimed. The expansion would involve developing a new open-pit phosphate mine on a tract located in Richland township. The mine would produce approximately 109 million tons of phosphate concentrate at the mill over a 20-year period. Five locational alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of January 1994. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the mine would be located on a 4,516-acre tract of land in the eastern portion of the project area, excluding all natural tributaries to the landward extent of Coastal Area Management Act jurisdictional areas. The removal of the first stage of overburden would be accomplished under one of two operational alternatives, either by hydraulic dredge or by bucket wheel excavator. In the second stage of overburden removal, the phosphate ore would be exposed by dragline. It would then be extracted by dragline and transferred into a sump, where high pressure water guns would be used to form a slurry. The slurry would then be transferred to the mill where the phosphate would be sized and washed and treated with froth flotation. This draft supplement to the draft EIS presents a new alternative (Alternative E-2), under which impacts on wetlands would be minimized while the economics of mining the area would be improved. Under this alternative, Texasgulf would mine 4,903 acres, comprised of two tracts: in the first ten years of the project, the tract in the eastern portion of the project area would be mined, followed by a tract in the non-jurisdictional area to the south during the second ten years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mine expansion would permit the applicant to continue mining its phosphate reserve in an economically viable fashion, and ensure a continued supply of the element phosphorous, which is used in fertilizer, animal feed supplements, and other products. This draft supplement is issued in an abbreviated format as a companion document to the draft EIS of January 1994. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would displace 4 private residences, 32 acres of prime farmland under cultivation, and 3,069 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, including 185 acres of special concern. A total of 992 acres of relatively undisturbed biotic communities would be adversely affected under the proposed action. Additional adverse impacts would include temporary drainage area reductions, loss of wildlife resources, loss of soil and mineral resources, short-term degradation of water quality, and the disturbance of a historic site. State Highway 306 would be relocated within the project area, and north-south portions of the Norfolk Southern Railroad would be rerouted. Under Alternative E-2, some 1,268 acres of wetlands, including 10 acres of wetlands of special concern, would be displaced.

AN - 36397504; 5097 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of port facilities at Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI), located in San Diego, California, is proposed so that those facilities could serve as a homeport for a NIMITZ-class aircraft carrier. The NIMITZ-class carrier is part of the Navy's new modern fleet of deep-draft ships powered by nuclear energy. As the result of a 1993 directive to close Naval Air Station Alameda, ships that had been homeported there must be transferred to San Diego and ports in the Pacific Northwest. Because of the larger dimensions of the NIMITZ-class carrier, deepening of the berthing area, turning basin, and main navigation channel would be required. 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). Under the preferred alternative, the improvement would consist of six separate construction projects. The first project would involve dredging of the turning basin, construction of a rock dike, construction of a 13.4-acre fill area, creation of a 14-acre mitigation area, and electrical upgrades at the existing quaywall. The second project would involve building a wharf and associated facilities, demolishing the existing boathouse, and constructing a new boathouse away from the project area. The third project would involve the demolition of two buildings and several smaller buildings, and construction of a controlled industrial facility for depot-level repair and maintenance of propulsion plant systems and components requiring radiological controls. The fourth project would involve dredging the San Diego Bay main channel. The fifth project would involve construction of a ship maintenance facility for depot-level repair and maintenance and the testing of nonradiological propulsion plant components. The final project would involve the construction of logistics and administrative facilities. Approximately 9.1 million cubic yards (mcy) of material would be dredged from the harbor; most of it (8.0 mcy) would be used for beach replenishment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region by providing a deeper channel for commercial navigation. Under the preferred alternative, the condition of San Diego beaches would improve and the cleanup of hazardous waste sites along the shoreline at NASNI would be required. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the visual character of the NAS San Diego Historic District would be adversely affected.

This site is the former Westwood Area Radioactive Material Disposal Facility (WRMDF) which was used for processing and packaging radioactive waste material prior to disposal. Original structures at the site included Building 3013 and adjacent concrete slabs where the waste handling work was performed, a small equipment shed, and a wastewater holding and drain system which included tanks in a concrete pit. Discharge of wastewater from the tanks was to Reardon Inlet, located a short distance south of the tank pit. Possible release of radioactive waste to the environment would have been due to either spillage, leakage, or discharge from the wastewater system. Two terra cotta pipelines, one on the western end and one of the eastern end, extended from Building 3013 to Reardon Inlet. The east pipeline handled low-level radioactive wastewater. The west pipeline was the original wastewater line and it is presumed that radioactive wastewater was not discharged through this line. After radioactive waste handling activities were discontinued at WRMDF, the west pipeline system was upgraded to include a septic tank, sand filter bed, and a chlorine contact chamber. The structures associated with the WRMDF were removed during the early 1970's, including the concrete tank pit. Both pipelines are visible near the edge of Reardon inlet, suggesting that the pipes and related structures have not been removed. Geophysical surveys, including magnetics, electromagnetics (EM), and ground penetrating radar, were performed to identify the location of the two terra cotta pipes, septic tank, and sand filter bed.

When bioremediation is the goal, enhancement of bioavailability by increasing solution phase concentrations of the contaminant may be necessary. Objectives of this study were to characterize desorption of TNT, RDX, and HMX in soils and to enhance solution phase concentrations by using surfactant and hot water. Desorption kinetics and isotherms were determined on four explosives contaminated soils using shake tests. Isotherms were determined for aqueous, surfactant, and hot water challenges. Column leaching experiments were performed using one of these soil and aqueous challenge over a period of 35 days. Results indicated that soil concentration of explosives exerts an important impact upon solution phase availability. When explosive concentrations in soils were sufficiently high to produce free product in the soil, solubilization was the dominant mass transfer process. When concentrations were low, desorption, convection, and dispersion controlled solution phase concentrations. Surfactants generally increased solution phase concentrations of explosives; however, effectiveness was less dramatic in soils having limited explosives concentration. Hot water also increased solution phase concentrations, but was not as effective as surfactants.

AN - 36409671; 5089 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a chloride control plan within the Red River basin, located in Oklahoma and north-central Texas, is proposed. Seeps, springs, and salt flats contribute about 2,491 tons of chlorides per day to the river basin, while man-made brines contribute an additional 1,119 tons per day. Efforts to control natural salt pollution within the river basin and the adjoining Wichita River basin date back to 1957. The authorized plan for the area, as described in the final EIS of September 1977, involved developing specific approaches for each salt emission area. These approaches included constructing low-flow dams and a shallow well collection system for the collection of brine-laden waters, brine storage lakes for holding concentrated brine solutions, and pipelines and pumping stations for transporting the solutions from the dams to the storage lakes. Portions of the project already constructed include a ring dike at Estelline Springs (Area V); the Bateman low-flow collection dam on the south fork of the Wichita River (Area VIII); and Truscott Brine Lake on Bluff Creek, a tributary of the North Fork of the Wichita River. The Lowrance (Area X) low-flow dam and pump station have been completed, but construction has not started on the pipeline, pumps, and controls to transfer the brines to Truscott Brine Lake for disposal. Funds have been appropriated to complete the design and begin construction of the remaining authorized facilities at Areas VI, VII, IX, Crowell Brine Lake, XIII, and XIV. Design changes being considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS include a change in the pool size of Crowell Brine Lake, changes in the methods of collection and disposal at Areas XIII and XIV, and an additional 2.4 miles of pipeline at Area X. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would improve water quality for current and future users of water from the Red River basin. Reduced salinity levels would increase crop yields for farmers dependent on irrigation. Most wildlife species would respond positively to the reduced salinity of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would result in the inundation of 11,900 acres of land with brine, which will cause a progressive degradation of the soil and vegetation. Reduction of chlorides in the Red River would increase the clay turbidity of Lake Texoma, which could adversely affect the resident fish population; fewer anglers would visit the lake, causing a modest decline in area income. Fisheries would also be adversely affected from reduced stream flow resulting from dam construction.

AN - 36398142; 5064 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 18-mile segment of US Highway (USH) 12 that links Sauk City and Middleton, Wisconsin, is proposed. The two-lane highway is a principal east-west connector route across south-central Wisconsin. 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 1991 to 1993, a total of 512 crashes occurred along this stretch of highway. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. 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 $62.3 million. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would involve the displacement of approximately 41 to 74 housing units, 14 to 18 commercial properties, and up to 435 acres of farmland, 4 acres of wetlands, and 29 acres of woodland. Up to six historic sites and four archaeological sites would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: April 28, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - I-85 GREENSBORO BYPASS, FROM I-85 SOUTH OF GREENSBORO TO I-40/85 EAST OF GREENSBORO, GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36397342; 5057 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 14-mile Interstate 85 (I-85) bypass around the city of Greensboro in Guilford County, North Carolina, is proposed. The segment is part of a proposed urban loop encircling the city of Greensboro, as specified in the North Carolina Department's 1991-1997 Transportation Improvement Program. Construction is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 1996. The western terminus of the bypass would be the proposed interchange with the Greensboro Western Urban Loop, located at existing I-85 midway between Groometown Road and Holden Road. The eastern terminus would be located north of the proposed interchange with I-85 near Clapp Farm Road. The eastern terminus would be the proposed interchange for the Greensboro Eastern/Northern Urban Loop. Various alternatives, including transportation systems management alternatives, a multimodal system alternative, construction alternatives, and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the Northern Alternative, the facility would be 11 miles long, and extend from the I-85 and Campground Road interchange to Youngs Mill Road, crossing US 220 north of Holden Road; Randleman Road at Old Randleman Road; South Elm-Eugene Street; and US 421 south of Wiley-Lewis Road. Under the Southern Alternative, the facility would be 13.7 miles long and follow the same alignment as under the Northern Alternative from Campground Road to just west of Randleman Road, but would then turn southeast to cross Randleman Road and South Elm-Eugene Street and cross US 421 south of Ritters Lake Road. It would terminate at I-85 between McConnell Road and Mount Hope Church Road. Under the GRAND/85 Alternative, proposed by a citizen group, the facility would be 10.9 miles long and follow roughly the same alignment as under the Northern Alternative, although one segment would follow a more northerly route. The preferred alternative is a combination of the Northern Alternative and Southern Alternative, a plan under which the project would include constructing a 2.7-mile crossover near the eastern end of the project area. The total estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $139.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bypass construction would improve access to Piedmont Triad International Airport, reduce traffic currently traveling within the City of Greensboro along existing I-85, reduce accidents by 130 per year (saving over $600,000 per year), and reduce total traffic in the region by over 13,000 vehicle-hours daily, thus contributing to air quality goals while lowering user costs and fuel consumption by 2.6 million gallons annually. The bypass would also improve accessibility for residential, commercial, and industrial development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to 37 residences and 11 businesses, depending on the construction alternative selected. An increase in noise levels would occur in some areas next to the freeway project. An estimated 6.2 acres of wetlands would be displaced, 16.1 acres of floodplain would be encroached, 29 streams would be crossed, and 300 feet of stream would be relocated. In addition, two structures in the project study area potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected.

AN - 36394684; 5087 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach along the reach of shore between Asbury Park and Manasquan in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is proposed. Over the years, erosion has seriously reduced the ability of the shoreline in the project area to provide adequate protection from coastal storms, inundation from ocean surges and the flooding of the Manasquan River, and wave attack. Continuation of this trend will increase the potential for economic losses, as the regional economy relies heavily on recreational beach usage, and the threat to human life and safety. The proposed action is Section II of the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey from Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inlet Beach Erosion Control, a federal project first authorized under the River and Harbor Act of 1958. Twelve alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are described in this final EIS; only the proposed action is currently under consideration. Under the proposed action, nine miles of beach would be filled with 4,864,700 cubic yards (cy) of sand, and the beach would be renourished with 1,864,700 cy during the initial six years. Material for the construction and periodic renourishment of the project would be obtained from offshore borrow areas. The designed beach berm would be 100 feet wide and have an elevation of ten feet above mean low water. Twenty existing groins would be notched in order not to interfere with littoral drift, and several drainage outfalls would be extended seaward. The initial project cost would be $47,325,000; the federal portion of the initial cost would be $30,761,300. Combined initial and renourishment costs over the 50-year project life would be approximately $263.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and benefit recreational resources. Discounted average annual benefits would be $5.69 million for damage reduction, $279,000 for land erosion reduction, $2.53 million for reduced maintenance. 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: April 16, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CANAL PARKWAY DEVELOPMENT STUDY, FROM MD 51 TO THE WILEY FORD BRIDGE, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36409487; 5050 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of various roads for the Cumberland, Maryland, area in order to improve access from Interstate 68 and downtown Cumberland to the South Cumberland area and the Cumberland Municipal Airport, located across the Potomac River in West Virginia, is proposed. The existing two-lane Virginia Avenue underpass of the CSX Railroad is the only access route linking these two areas of Cumberland. The underpass currently experiences traffic congestion during peak periods; as a result, Virginia Avenue has an accident rate higher than similar facilities. In addition to the No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), three build alternatives and two optional connections at the Ford Avenue crossing of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (C&O Canal) are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 2, Virginia Avenue would be widened to four lanes from Fourth Street to Bowen Street. The CSX bridge could be replaced in order to improve the vertical clearance of the underpass. In addition, curbs and sidewalks would be added, and the existing roadway would be resurfaced. Under Alternative 3, a two-lane, undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 west of Virginia Avenue to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue. Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under Alternative 4 (the preferred alternative), a two-lane, undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 at Wineow Street to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue, and Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under the two optional connections (Option A and Option B), the project would include the removal of the existing low-arch bridge, which carries Ford Avenue over the C&O Canal, and the construction of a new full-clearance bridge over the canal and towpath. A raised profile along Ford Avenue would be needed to accommodate the new roadway and bridge. Under the preferred option (Option B), the project would involve shifting Ford Avenue slightly to the west and reconstructing it as a new two-lane, undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with River Avenue. Also under consideration is a related action involving the re-watering of the C&O Canal from the existing Ford Avenue crossing to its terminus in downtown Cumberland and the reconstruction of the towpath. This area lies south of MD 51 and the CSX railroad tracks and is bounded on three sides by the Potomac River. Under this proposal, approximately two miles of C&O Canal would be rewatered, and the canal and towpath would be restored to their historic elevations. The project would require the excavation of the canal and the restructuring of a portion of the Corps of Engineers flood protection project that was completed in the 1950s. A retaining wall would be built along the shale embankment that currently supports the CSX Railroad tracks. The parklands alongside the Canal would be publicly accessible at the Terminus and South Park areas as well as from existing streets in South Cumberland. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $25.0 million to $30.0 million; the estimated cost of the proposed park improvement ranges from $60 million to $80 million. Although these two actions are both evaluated in this final EIS, they could be implemented independently of one another. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed transportation project, traffic operation and safety would be improved. The connection between downtown Cumberland and the municipal airport would also be improved, thereby aiding the local economy. Restoration of the C&O Canal would increase tourist interest in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for transportation improvements would displace seven residences and seven businesses, and adversely affect up to six historic districts and some archaeological sites; some additional displacements would occur as the result of future park improvements. Up to 1.0 acres of the Potomac River floodplain and 4.0 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected by the transportation improvements, while the park improvements would adversely affect 80 acres of floodplain and 12 acres of wetlands.

Preparation date: April 13, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 36/STH 64 NEW SAINT CROIX CROSSING, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, AND SAINT CROIX COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36408260; 5052 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Trunk Highway (TH) 36 in Washington County, Minnesota, is proposed. The project would include the functional replacement of the existing drawbridge over the Saint Croix River and the reconstruction of approach highways leading to the bridge in Saint Croix County, Wisconsin. The study area termini are the vicinity of County Road 15 in Minnesota and a point on STH 64 approximately 2.5 miles east of the state line in Wisconsin. The possibility of improving existing TH 36 from Houlton to New Richmond, 15 miles to the east, is currently under study. This represents a separate study based on transportation needs independent of the river crossing analysis. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the North Corridor alignment, the facility would bypass the cities of Stillwater, Minnesota, and Houlton, Wisconsin, to the north. Under the Central Corridor alignment, the facility would use existing approach roadways in Minnesota and Wisconsin while bypassing the Stillwater central business district. Under the South Corridor alignment, the facility would bypass Stillwater and Houlton to the south. The north alignment of the South Corridor has been identified as the preferred alternative in this final EIS. The Minnesota approach would involve upgrades to the existing four-lane signalized expressway. The existing intersection at Osgood Avenue would be upgraded with dual left turn lanes of TH 36, Osgood Avenue would be widened to accommodate additional traffic, and local access between intersections would be enhanced through the construction of improved frontage roads. The Wisconsin approach would involve constructing a four-lane, rural design divided highway on new alignment south and east of Houlton. The new bridge would have four lanes, a median barrier, and sidewalk on the north side of the roadway. Commuter parking lots would be constructed on both sides of the river. The estimated construction costs of the project are $78 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to major transportation service, safety, and congestion improvements that would occur with the construction of any of the alternatives, there would be several social, economic, and environmental benefits. A hindrance to resolution of a significant problem in planning the nature of the future transportation network serving 11 study area communities would be removed. Reduction in air pollutant emissions, energy use, and traffic-generated noise, as well as improved water quality would also result. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 70 households, five small businesses, and a substantial amount of agricultural land. The construction of a bridge in the Saint Croix River Valley would alter a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The project could also adversely affect the habitat of the Higgins' eye pearly mussel, a species of clam found in the Saint Croix River that is a federally-listed endangered species. Historic and archaeological sites located in Stillwater and Houlton, including the existing drawbridge, which was recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, could be adversely affected.

AN - 36384235; 5086 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures within the Upper Yazoo Basin located on the eastern side of the Mississippi Delta along the main stem of the Yazoo-Tallahatchie-Coldwater River system from Yazoo City to Darling, Mississippi, is proposed. The study area encompasses 2,300 square miles of drainage, including portions of Carroll, Coahoma, Grenada, Leflore, Holmes, Humphreys, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tunica, and Yazoo counties. Flood problems in the Upper Yazoo Basin are significant. Damages total more than $18.6 million annually, including $3 million in urban damages. In addition, almost 700,000 acres of agricultural lands are subject to annual inundation. This second draft supplement to the final EIS of December 1975 considers sediment removal and vegetative control on all or parts of the Big Sunflower River, Little Sunflower River, Dowling Bayou, Bogue Phalia, Big Sunflower Bendway, Holly Bluff Cutoff, and Bogue Phalia Cutoff from points downstream of Highway 82 to their confluence with the Yazoo River. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplement. Under the recommended plan (Alternative 3), the project would involve 28.3 miles of channel clearing and snagging and 104.8 miles of channel excavation. Approximately 8.42 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredge material would be removed from this portion of the Big Sunflower River Basin: 7.75 mcy by hydraulic dredge and 0.67 mcy by dragline. Generally, the dragline would be used where right-of-way currently exists, where channels are too shallow to float a dredge or a barge, or where numerous low clearance bridges make it inefficient to operate a hydraulic dredge. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the risks of costly flooding would be substantially reduced on both urban and agricultural lands. The maintenance measures identified in this draft supplement would lower current flow lines one to three feet, reducing headwater flooding damages to rural residences and agricultural properties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, approximately 2,830 acres of foraging habitat would be lost in the project area, a loss that would adversely affect wintering waterfowl. Mink and other wildlife would be adversely affected by proposed streambank clearing. Up to 350 acres of wetlands, 417 acres of bottomland hardwoods, and 323 acres of agricultural lands would be lost under the preferred alternative. Mussel communities would be displaced by dredging activities.

SWIFT/486 (Sandia Waste-Isolation Flow and Transport) is a three-dimensional, finite difference code which can be used to simulate steady-state or transient flow and transport of chemicals (including brine and radionuclide) and beat in porous or fractured geologic media. The geologic media may be homogeneous, isotropic, heterogeneous, and/or anisotropic. The transport processes which may be modeled by SWIFT/486 include advection, dispersion, sorption, decay, and leaching. Fluid flow of variable densities and/or viscosities also may be modeled by SWIFT/486. Either a radial or Cartesian coordinate system can be used for domain discretization. The present version of SWIFT/486 is classified as a single phase and saturated flow model. The evaluation performed here complements previous SWIFT evaluations and applications. The model also was reviewed for efficiency of coding, convenience of input/output, program portability, and available diagnostic messages. Note that although only part of the above evaluation steps are described in detail in this report, the conclusions for all are given. Overall, SWIFT/486 is a relatively efficient code, requires optimal amount of computer storage, and has sufficient diagnostic flags.

AN - 36400544; 5054 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 4.4-mile segment of US 2 in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) proposes to widen the existing route from Columbia Heights, a suburb of Columbia Falls, to Hungry Horse. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include the replacement of a bridge over the South Fork of the Flathead River, which is necessary because the existing facility is worn out and warrants traffic safety and capacity improvements. Under the MDT preferred alternative, the project would involve a four-lane design to replace the 24-foot-wide, two-lane facility; the design would include a continuous-median, left-turn lane from the project's beginning in Columbia Heights to Berne Road, where a new river access and historic exhibit area would be built. An undivided four-lane road would be built through Badrock Canyon for the Berne Road-to-Hungry Horse section of the corridor. As mitigation for impacts to Berne Memorial Park, MDT would develop the new access on the Flathead River and enhance recreational opportunities in the region. The total estimated costs under the preferred alternative are $14.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, the project would provide operational and safety improvements over the existing facility, including a reduction in accident rates. Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide for a wider shoulder lane, which would improve bicycle facilities in the corridor; sidewalks, which would facilitate pedestrian movement; and the control of future land uses and protection of visual resources in Badrock Canyon through the acquisition of private lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, the project would adversely affect the Flathead River and riparian areas in Badrock Canyon by clearing right-of-way and placing fill in the river. Bald eagles could be adversely affected by the removal of vegetation used for perching and roosting sites along the river. Some farmland would be converted for right-of-way. Some features of Berne Memorial Park and the use of its facilities would be adversely affected under any of the build alternatives. The right-of-way acquisition would displace several households and businesses along the corridor, and some portions of yards and parking areas would be lost. Additional development along the corridor could be stimulated by highway reconstruction and improved access. Visual resources in Badrock Canyon would be adversely affected by the removal of trees and excavation of rock cliffs.

AN - 36405629; 5081 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. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers a reduced version of the project proposed in 1975. The project area for the proposal extends from Edgerley Island upstream 11 miles to the Trancas Street Bridge. Under the proposed action, the improvement would include 5.7 miles of channel improvements and maintenance roads/recreation trails for the reach of the Napa River from Kennedy Park to Trancas Street. The plan would also include two-thirds of a mile of channel improvements for Napa Creek from Main Street to Earl Street. Flood control improvements would include an oxbow bypass channel, levees, floodwalls, sheetpile walls, utility relocations, maintenance roads, recreation trails, and excavation and widening on one side of channel to contain floodflows up to the 100-year event. One side channel widening would occur on the west bank from Kennedy Park to the Newport North Marina area, transitioning to the east bank from the Newport North Marina area to Pine Street, and back to the west bank from Pine Street to Division Street. The project would include five separate construction contracts for individual segments of the project and for hazardous waste reclamation; the contracts would be completed sequentially. 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. 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. Up to 11.1 acres of riparian vegetation would be lost under the proposed project, a loss that would be mitigated through the creation of nearly 22 acres of new riparian habitat.

AN - 36409637; 5085 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Little Calumet River, extending from the Indiana-Illinois state line eastward to the confluence with Deep River located in Lake County, Indiana, is proposed. The project area includes portions of the communities of Gary, Griffith, Hammond, Highland, and Munster. Under the proposed action in the final EIS of July 1982, the project would involve replacing the existing levees west of Cline Avenue with higher levees or floodwalls. Columbia Street and Indianapolis Boulevard bridges would be raised, and the C&O and Erie and Lackawanna Railroad bridges would be removed. East of Cline Avenue portions of the river channel would be dredged, the channel itself would be moved near Interstate 80/94, and new levees would be constructed, set back from the river's edge. Several modifications and additions to the project have occurred since the issuance of the final EIS; these changes are the subject of this draft supplement. Under the revised plan, the project would call for levees, floodwalls, or embankments along almost the entire length of both side of the river through the project area. In the eastern portions of the project, the flood protection measures would be set back from the river, allowing a broader, more natural floodplain to exist while protecting existing residences or business concerns. One levee segment west of Cline would be moved away from the river, broadening the floodplain acreage on the south side of the river in that area. In the east reach of the project area, the levee segments proposed in 1982 would now be connected by floodwalls, levees, or embankments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would help prevent flooding of commercial and residential areas and transportation corridors in the communities located in the project area. It would also create a system of parklands and recreational facilities to encourage conservation and appreciation of natural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Changes in the alignment of some levees would result in the loss of up to 305 acres of forested wetlands, the relocation of some residents, and loss of local property taxes because of conversion from private to public ownership.

Preparation date: March 17, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PETALUMA RIVER FLOOD CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS SECTION 205, CITY OF PETALUMA, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36394634; 5080 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Petaluma River within the city of Petaluma, California, is proposed. The project area is located 12 miles upstream from San Pablo Bay in Sonoma County, approximately 35 miles north of San Francisco. It extends from the Washington Street Bridge upstream to just beyond the confluence with Lynch Creek. During periods of heavy rainfall, the river is incapable of handling the runoff and flooding often occurs at the confluence with Lynch Creek. In this area, the river meanders through residential and commercial developments that occur within a few feet of the bank. Inadequate bridge openings, utility crossings and other obstructions, and limited channel capacities contribute to the flooding potential. The existing channel capacity of the river in this reach is approximately 2,800 cubic feet per second (cfs), equivalent to a five-year flood event. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the locally preferred plan (Alternative B-3), the channel would be deepened and widened in order to carry 9,640 cfs below the Washington Creek confluence. The channel would be excavated to a depth of 17 feet: for 3,150 feet above the railroad mainline bridge, the channel would be trapezoidal in design; while the remaining 530 feet from the bridge to the lower end of the project area would be U-shaped in design. The U-shaped channel would consist of vertical sheet-pile walls coated with concrete to form a flush wall surface that would not extend above the existing bank; the channel bottom would be 95 feet wide in this section. Channel bottom widths would range from 45 feet to 70 feet in the trapezoidal portion. Reinforced concrete floodwalls would be constructed along both banks between Edith Street and the upstream project limits. A floodwall would also be constructed along the south bank of Washington Creek in order to provide a continuous level of flood protection along the tributary. Service roads 10 to 12 feet wide would be built along both banks for the entire length of the project. Two railroad bridges, the spurline and mainline bridges just upstream from Lakeville Street, would be replaced to improve hydraulic capacity; in addition, the Lakeville and Payran Street bridges would also be replaced. The channel improvements would require the dredging and disposal of 95,000 cubic yards (cy) of sediment; annual maintenance dredging of 3,000 cy would also be required. The estimated costs under the preferred plan are $17.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, implementation would provide a 40-year level of flood protection for the area, reduce the economic burdens of flooding, and provide better access to and across the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be a loss of exotic woody vegetation, intertidal mud flats, shaded aquatic habitat, brackish emergent marsh, grassland /ruderal habitat, scrub-shrub habitat, and habitat for the threatened Sacramento spittail fish. The U-shaped channel in the lower portion of the project area would detract from scenic values.

Preparation date: March 16, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE ROUTES 9 AND 530, STILLAGUAMISH RIVER BRIDGES 9/132 AND 530/120 REPLACEMENT PROJECT, ARLINGTON, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36406149; 5062 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of approximately three miles of roadway on State Route 9 (SR 9) and SR 530, located within and near the city of Arlington, Washington, is proposed. The project would replace Stillaguamish River bridges 9/132 and 530/120, which are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete; improve traffic operations and carrying capacity to meet the traffic volume demand in the year 2015; improve the safety of the SR 9 and SR 530 corridors through and near Arlington; and allow for community development within Arlington and unincorporated Snohomish County. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the three action alternatives, the project would replace the two bridges and realign SR 9 so that it would go north from its existing westerly intersection with SR 530, cross the Stillaguamish River, and reconnect with the existing SR 9 alignment just north of Schloman Road. Under the Burke Avenue Alternative, SR 530 would be realigned from the curve west of Arlington so that it would go easterly through the city along Burke Avenue. The alignment would cross the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River just west of and adjacent to the existing SR 530 bridge. It would match the existing alignment just to the north of the existing bridge. And improvements would continue to a point just north of Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Northern Bypass Alternative, SR 530 would connect with the new SR 9 alignment at Division Street and cross the Stillaguamish River on the new SR 9 bridge. On the north side of the river, SR 530 would leave the SR 9 alignment and proceed east across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River on a new bridge, joining the existing SR 530 alignment in the vicinity of the Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under this alternative, the SR 530 bridge would be replaced with a pedestrian bridge for access to Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Bypass/Throughpass Alternative, the preferred alternative, a segment of SR 530 would be constructed on an alignment similar to that in the Northern Bypass Alternative. The existing section of SR 530, from its intersection with SR 9 to its intersection with Arlington Heights Road, would be rechannelized and signalized where necessary to improve traffic through the city. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $33.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide roadway improvements that are needed to keep pace with traffic volume, which has increased approximately 5.5 percent annually since 1975, and also reduce the number of accidents on the two bridges and roadways. Construction activities would generate an estimated 925 new jobs, and $27.8 million in wages and salaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly the entire project area would be located within the Stillaguamish River floodplain, which would be adversely affected by new earthfill bridge approaches, concrete bridge piers, and increased storm-water runoff. Construction would require the displacement of 22.3 acres of prime farmland; the demolition of eight structures, most of them residences; and the acquisition of some lands from Twin Rivers County Park.

In addition, ERF has been used by the U.S. Army as an artillery range, where high explosives or smoke-producing shells have been detonated, causing cratering and disrupting drainage. The physical environment of ERF needs to be understood to help remediate a problem of unusually high mortality rates in migrating waterfowl. This high mortality of ducks is attributable to ingestion of elemental white phosphorus (P4) particles (from smoke-producing devices), which are now distributed within near-surface sediments of the ponds and marshes. The complexity of this dynamic environment makes it extremely difficult to predict what physical effects remedial measures for the P4 contamination will have and, conversely, what short- and long-term effects the physical system will have on the effectiveness and success of proposed remedies. Understanding both the system's response and the effects of remedial technologies is critical to deciding what measures are used. This report presents the initial analysis of the physical processes of erosion, sedimentation and sediment transport, and the factors controlling activity within a portion of ERF.

Fine sediments are difficult to dewater and delay routine sedimentation-basin cleaning for extended periods. The presence of contaminants in some sediments necessitates development of procedures for sampling, testing, evaluation, treatment, and disposal. A literature search was conducted to identify appropriate dewatering and treatment technologies for solid residuals characteristics of these facilities. Technologies utilized in the management of contaminated and uncontaminated dredged material were reviewed for applicability to CVWF sediments. The principal focus of this study included effective materials handling methods, improved dewatering methods, and treatment and disposal alternatives. A review of operational practices and problems and recommendations for operational and facility modifications were made. (MM).

The project was originally designed and constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Standard Project Flood, but the effects of sediment deposition in the channel were ignored. A recent flood deposited significant quantities of sediment in the Embudo Arroyo Channel, raising concerns about the channel's ability to carry larger flood discharges. The sedimentation study included a geomorphic assessment conducted under contract by Resource Consultants and Engineers of Fort Collins, CO. The geomorphic study assessed the stability of arroyos that drain into the North Diversion Channel and identified primary sediment sources in the watershed. The sedimentation study also included determination of sediment yield for each watershed that drains into the North Diversion Channel. Since there is no generally accepted method for calculating sediment yield, several different methods were used to calculate yield and compared with limited measured data.

Past military operations have included production, testing, and disposal of explosive products. This report presents results of a study conducted at the Picatinny Arsenal, which was established in the 1800's. Production of explosives at the site has ceased, but as a result of the past activities, contaminants are migrating into the groundwater due to contaminant transport from the soils. Two technologies were evaluated for the treatment of groundwater contaminated with explosives: ultraviolet/chemical oxidation (UV/ChO) and granular activated carbon adsorption. This report presents the results of the UV/ChO study conducted to determine whether low levels of cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX) and cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (MHX) in the drinking water supply at the site could be treated to the required levels. The concentrations of RDX and HMX in the drinking water supply, sampled from well 410 at the site, are approximately 6 and 2 micrograms/L, respectively. In the 1980's, RDX and HMX were below health advisory levels. Health advisory levels were lowered in November 1988 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to 2 and 400 micrograms/L for RDX and HMX, respectively. jg.

AN - 36383828; 4956 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway that includes a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and two build alternatives, each with three subalternatives, were considered in the final EIS of November 1992. Under the final EIS's proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in Saint Louis County, proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in Saint Charles County, and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Under the final EIS's preferred alternative (the Red Alignment), the facility would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also the southern portion of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. This final supplement to the final EIS considers the environmental effects of converting 184 acres of heavily wooded parkland to highway use, and considers five alternative tracts of land to be offered as replacement property. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the project would involve the replacement of the 184 acres of parkland with 464.8 acres of Fish and Wildlife Service lands. The property, which lies south and west of the proposed Page Avenue Extension, would include tracts of wooded wetlands, emergent wetlands, and farmed wetlands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on routes 40/61, I-70, and I-270. Development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the proposed alignments induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. Under the preferred land replacement alternative, the project would increase available habitat for fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The public parkland would be considerably and adversely altered by the proposed highway construction. The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Adverse land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

AN - 36405009; 4973 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project in order to protect residents and property within the Amide River Basin of Louisiana is proposed. The study area encompasses approximately 560 square miles in southeastern Louisiana. Urban and other developed land, including the cities of Baton Rouge, Baker, and Zachary, comprise 40 percent of the land use. Major floods in recent years occurred in 1973, 1977, 1979, 1983, and 1990. The 1983 flood was the flood of record and caused damages of $172 million in the Amide River Basin and $65 million in the East Baton Rouge watershed. The tentatively selected plan for the East Baton Rouge Parish watershed calls for channel modifications to five watersheds: Backwater Bayou and its main tributary, Beaver Bayou; Jones Creek and tributaries; Ward Creek and tributaries; and Bayou Fountain. The plan would involve modifying 66 total miles of channel. Minimal channel clearing would occur on 25 miles, earthen channel enlargement would occur on 24 miles, and channel concrete lining would be installed on 17 miles. The plan would also involve the planting of trees along 60 miles of streambank. Fish and wildlife mitigation measures would consist of the reforestation of 397 acres of cleared land to compensate for an estimated 280 acres of bottomland hardwoods that would be lost to project construction. Recreation features would include an 11-mile bicycle trail adjacent to Jones Creek. The total first cost of the plan is estimated at $109.1 million. This draft EIS revises a draft EIS issued in June 1990. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plan, implementation would reduce flood damages associated with headwater and backwater flooding of tributary streams in East Baton Rouge Parish. Average annual benefits redounding from the project as a whole would amount to $24.4 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the total plan is 2.23 to 1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Flood control structures and flood control, itself, would result in a loss of 280 acres of wooded lands. Even though this loss would be mitigated by reforestation plans, it is anticipated that flood control measures would stimulate residential and commercial development in the southern portion of the parish, resulting in additional conversion of agricultural and wooded lands.

Preparation date: February 15, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, FROM MARTIN COUNTY LINE TO LAKE WORTH INLET AND FROM SOUTH LAKE WORTH INLET TO BROWARD COUNTY LINE: JUPITER /CARLIN SEGMENT, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1987). AN - 36383980; 4970 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a protective and recreational beach along 23.6 miles of badly eroded shoreline located within the limits of Palm Beach County, Florida, is proposed. Under the preferred alternative, beach restoration would occur along the reaches of Tequesta (Reach 1), Jupiter (Reach 3A), Juno (Reach 3B), Riviera Beach and Johnny McGarthur State Park (Reach 3C), Midtown-Palm Beach (Reach 5B), Sloan's/Widner's Curve-Palm Beach (Reach 5C), South Boca Raton (Reach 12), Palm Beach (Reaches 5A and 6), Ocean Ridge (Reach 8), Delray Beach (Reach 9), and North Boca Raton (Reach 10). The restored beach for each reach would be of such dimensions as required to dissipate wave energy seaward of upland property, but existing natural profiles suggest that a berm elevation of ten feet would be adequate to provide protection during all but the most severe storms. Seaward slopes would vary from reach to reach. The width of the restored beach would be controlled at the mean high-water shoreline, which would be moved seaward 25 to 100 feet, depending on the reach in question. To avoid excessive narrowing of the beach during periods of temporary recession, a seven-year advance supply of nourishment, in addition to the sand for the initial beach widening, would be placed in all reaches except Reach 5A, where a two-year supply of advance nourishment would be placed. The project would require an initial fill of 8.4 million cubic yards (cy) and periodic nourishment of 6.2 million cy. Borrow areas would be located 1,900 to 5,600 feet offshore. This final supplement to the final EIS of April 1987 addresses the restoration of a critically eroded area south of Jupiter Inlet. Under the proposed action, the project would involve dredging 513,000 cy of sand from the easterly side of the ebb tidal shoal offshore from the inlet. The dredged sand would then be placed as fill on 1.1 miles of beach, beginning 400 feet south of the inlet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The entire project would provide seven-year protection against erosion damage, including damage to upland structures, and offset erosion effects; provide effective protection for the tourist-based economy; enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation; and restore some of the zone's ability to provide protection against storms. Beach restoration would increase the annual number of visitors to the area by two million by 1995. Damages to existing structures would be reduced by $19 million annually. Beach habitat would be created for nesting sea turtles and for invertebrate and shorebird species. The project under the proposed action in this final supplement would provide high-quality sand to a stretch of beach that is seriously eroded, and shore protection for approximately seven years with no significant effect on wave regime. Sand placed within this particular stretch of beach would also feed the down-drift beaches to the south and reduce the need for other beach nourishment projects anticipated in the countywide plan. 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 project under the proposed action in this final supplement would be scheduled outside the peak sea turtle nesting season in order to minimize impacts to this species. The immediate adverse impact to the borrow site would be the temporary defaunation of the benthic community.

Preparation date: February 9, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CORRIDOR L (US 19), NICHOLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TO I-79, BRAXTON AND NICHOLAS COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36404970; 4963 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 24-mile segment of US 19, from just north of Nicholas County High School near Summersville to an intersection with Interstate 79 (I-79) in Braxton County, West Virginia, is proposed. The segment is part of Appalachian Corridor L, an indefinite corridor connecting I-77 at Beckley with I-79 at Sutton, approximately 70 miles away. The reconstruction would primarily involve the expansion of the existing right-of-way in order to allow for the addition of two lanes and a median strip, either on the east or west side of the existing two-lane US 19. While all intersections would likely be at-grade, two potential interchanges, one at West Virginia Route (WV) 55 near the town of Muddlety and the other at WV 82/Nicholas County 1 near the town of Birch River, are under consideration. In some mountain areas, an additional climbing lane would be added; three segments would require additional right-of-way. In addition to the No-Build Alternative, three build alternatives for the southern section of the corridor, and four for the northern section, are considered in this final EIS. The facility under the build alternatives would differ from one another primarily in regard to the size of the median proposed and the use of the east or west side of US 19 for the additional two lanes. Under the preferred alignment (Alternative B in the southern section, and Alternative D in the north), the facility would provide a 40-foot-wide median throughout the length of the reconstructed highway. Estimated construction costs under the preferred alternative would be $159.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion, improve safety, and satisfy the 2012 design-year traffic flow along US 19. By completing the Corridor L construction to Summersville from I-79, the project would improve access to the lake and woodland recreation areas of central West Virginia, plus the commercial and industrial capabilities of the Summersville region. Construction would generate 9,720 direct and indirect new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace 12 residences and three business, and up to 12.8 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected. In addition, three cemeteries could be adversely affected by dislocations or access restrictions. Many acres of wildlife habitat would be converted to highway use. Large hillside cuts would detract from the scenic quality of the area. The facility under the proposed alignment would adversely affect 82.2 acres with high archaeological content potential.

AN - 36396819; 4957 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway on a new alignment, located in the northwest section of the Omaha, Nebraska, metropolitan area, is proposed. The northwest section of the city currently has no major arterial roadway to provide east-west access. The roadway would extend east and west for approximately two miles from 72nd Street to Blair High Road near I-680. Two build alternatives (the 90th Street Alignment and the Ida Street Alignment), as well as a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under both of the build alternatives, a controlled-access highway with a median, which could be used for a separate left-turn lane, and a bridge crossing Little Papillion Creek west of Wenninghoff Road, would be constructed. The alignment under both of the build alternatives would share a common route for 1.1 miles from 72nd Street to Wenninghoff Road, at which point they would divide. The primary difference of the facility under the two alternatives would be their point of intersection with Blair High Road. Under the 90th Street Alignment, the facility would be 1.9 miles long and have a 0.3-mile connector to Ida Street. It would curve to the south as it approached Blair High Road and then intersect it at 90th Street. Under the Ida Street Alignment, the facility would be 2.2 miles long and intersect Blair High Road at the existing Ida Street intersection. The 90th Street Alignment has been selected as the preferred alternative; the cost would be approximately $11.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connector would open up the northwest quadrant of the Omaha metropolitan area for commercial and residential development. Construction of the connector would ease the traffic burden on existing residential streets; it is anticipated that the traffic volume on these streets will double by the year 2012. In addition to providing safer travel for motorists, the facility would provide improved access for police and emergency vehicles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace approximately 100 acres of land, most of which would be prime farmland. Six jurisdictional wetlands would be in the project area. Under the 90th Street Alignment, the facility would adversely affect 2.71 acres of wetlands; it would also require the dislocation of one business.

AN - 36400086; 4933 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation by the Carlota Copper Company of an open-pit copper mine within the Tonto National Forest in Gila and Pinal counties, Arizona, is proposed. The site is located six miles west of the community of Miami. The proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and nine alternatives, which would each alter one aspect of the proposed action, are considered in this draft 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 would 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. Powers Gulch 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 1995-1996 and conclude in 2010, followed by an additional five years of leaching. An average of 750 gallons per minute (gpm) of water would be required for the operation, with a peak demand of 1,200 gpm during the dry months. Water sources would include wells in the Pinto Creek drainage and pit dewatering. 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 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. Construction and mining activities would adversely affect up to 50 historic and prehistoric sites.

AN - 36383907; 4959 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 10.9-mile segment of US 421 from east of State Route 2433 (SR 2433) in Wilkes County, to west of Interstate 77 in Yadkin County, North Carolina, is proposed. US 421 is an important link in the North Carolina highway network and is included in the 1992-1998 Transportation Improvement Program; it is also classified as a principal arterial route and is included in the Federal Aid Primary System. The entire highway extends from the Tennessee state line to Forsyth County, North Carolina; all segments within the corridor are scheduled to be upgraded to a multilane facility. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the existing two-lane roadway would be replaced with a four-lane divided highway with either fully-controlled or partially-controlled access. Under two of the action alternatives, the facility would follow the existing alignment of US 421; under one, full control of access would be provided, while under the other, partial control would be provided. Under the other two alternatives, full control of access would be provided; under one, the facility would lie to the north of the existing alignment, while under the other, it would lie to the south. The northern alignment is the preferred alternative; its total estimated cost is $57.7 million. Three interchanges would be developed along the highway: one in the area of SR 2325 near the western end of the project; a second in the area of SR 2309 and/or SR 2400 near the center of the project; and a third at SR 1112 near the eastern end of the project. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections to the draft as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgrading of US 421 would promote economic development and tourism within the project area, relieve traffic congestion, and provide a safer transportation corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace 19 residences and 4 businesses, and adversely affect 2 archaeological sites, 11.4 acres of wetlands, 15.3 acres of 100-year floodplains, 237.7 acres of woodlands, and 141.8 acres of prime farmlands. Approximately 20 receptors would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards. The alignment would cross 11 streams.

AN - 36394382; 4958 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a ten-mile section of US 421 in Watauga County, North Carolina, is proposed. The roadway section extends from just west of the South Fork New River, east of the town of Boone, to SR 1361, east of the town of Deep Gap. The existing two-lane roadway is characterized by steep grades, sharp curves, and narrow pavement. US 421 is the main highway link between the Piedmont and northwest North Carolina, linking the towns of Winston-Salem, Yadkinville, Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, and Boone. Six alternatives are considered in this final EIS; the No Action Alternative was removed from consideration based on the results of the evaluation in the draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), the facility would generally follow an alignment just to the north of existing US 421, which would continue to function as a local collector. Under all three of the build alternatives, the facility would rely mainly on new roadway locations within corridors roughly parallel to the existing US 421. It would cross the Blue Ridge Parkway at the same point near Deep Gap. Seven Blue Ridge Parkway crossing alternatives are also under consideration. Under the preferred crossing alternative (Alternative 4), the project would involve the removal of the existing stone facade arch bridge and the construction of two similar bridges. Four lanes of US 421 would pass under the parkway, and access between the two roadways would be provided. Access control would be partial, consisting of at-grade intersections with designated local roads and permit access from private driveways. A transportation systems management alternative, a mass transit alternative, and the Improve Existing Corridor Alternative are also under consideration. This final EIS, which is issued in abbreviated format, contains corrections to the draft EIS, mitigation measures for the preferred alternative, and public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. The estimated total cost of the preferred alternative is $46.6 million; the estimated cost of the parkway crossing is $3.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a four-lane US 421 would safely and effectively connect the northwest part of the state with Interstate 77 (I-77), I-40, and US 52. The project would remove through traffic from an operationally deficient roadway, thereby improving traffic safety conditions and intrastate east-west travel. The improvements would follow those that were included in the state's 1978-1984 highway improvement program. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 38 residences, 21 businesses, 3 nonprofit organizations, 90.4 acres of prime farmland, 142.3 acres of forest, and 2.4 acres of wetlands. In addition, the facility under the build alternatives would disturb 40 graves, 2 archaeological sites, and 1 historic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Increases in noise levels would adversely affect 40 sites.

Preparation date: January 18, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AUBURN THOROUGHBRED HORSE RACING FACILITY, AUBURN, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36405446; 4965 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a thoroughbred racing park by the Northwest Racing Associates on approximately 165 acres in Auburn, Washington, is proposed. The facility would replace the former Longacres Park in the city of Renton, which was purchased by the Boeing Company in 1990 and closed to horse racing in 1992. The applicant would construct a racetrack similar to the Longacres facility, which was built in the 1930s before the enactment of current environmental regulations. The facility would require the deposition of 80,000 cubic yards of fill in 17.1 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands and 0.3 acres of scrub-shrub wetland. It would include a six-level, partially-enclosed grandstand approximately 240,000 square feet in size and designed to seat 6,500 people. Parking for approximately 5,100 vehicles would also be provided. The facility would also include a one-mile, 90-foot-wide oval dirt racetrack with provision for a future seven-eighths mile, 80-foot-wide turf/training course inside the main oval. It would also include approximately 1,400 horse stalls, 150 seasonal dormitory rooms for 300 grooms and backstretch personnel, and other accessory structures. The applicant anticipates that live thoroughbred racing would occur 125 days per year between April 1 and October 1. The facility would be designed to accommodate 7,500 people on average, and a peak capacity of 17,300; it is expected to open in 1996. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would replace a facility that was just recently closed and stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Roughly 91.5 acres would be covered with an impervious surface and nearly-impervious material; as a result surface water runoff would increase and the amount of rainwater infiltration would decrease. Downstream drainage systems would flood if not properly mitigated. Approximately 85 acres of vegetation would be cleared.

Preparation date: January 12, 1995 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BART-SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EXTENSION, NORTHERN SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1992). AN - 36407910; 4950 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of transit facilities within the Northern Peninsula Corridor in San Mateo County, California, is proposed. The corridor is bounded by San Francisco Bay on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the San Francisco/San Mateo County border on the north, and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on the south. Three bus and rail transportation systems currently provide service to the area: Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), SamTrans, and CalTrain. SFO, the corridor's largest single generator of traffic, is currently served by SamTrans and private bus lines, but lacks an effective connection with either of the region's two major rail systems, BART and CalTrain. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of March 1992 examines several alternatives not presented in the draft EIS and also examines public comments on the draft EIS. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft supplement. Under the locally preferred alternative, improvement would involve a 6.4-mile-long BART extension with a station at Hickey Boulevard in South San Francisco adjacent to the Tanforan Shopping Center in San Bruno, and a combined BART/CalTrain /Airport Light Rail station located west of Highway 101 near the SFO terminals. From the Colma BART station, presently under construction, the alignment would follow the SPTCo railroad right-of-way in subway through a below-grade Hickey station to South Spruce Avenue, then ascend to grade at the Tanforan station. The alignment would then descend into a subway configuration, paralleling the north side of I-380, pass under I-380, and continue in subway along the easterly limit of the city of San Bruno. A tailtrack would extend 3,000 feet south from the airport intermodal station. The three stations would provide a total of 4,312 parking spaces. The estimated capital costs under the locally preferred alternative are $1.05 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion in and around SFO would be relieved, resulting in air quality improvements. Generally, transit service would improve due to the minimization of travel time and the maximization of reliability. Projected transit-person trips for the year 1998 would increase by 35,800 trips per day. The increase in ridership would significantly reduce hazardous air emissions. The project would boost the local economy, providing up to 1,125 direct and indirect new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would displace up to 120 residents, 130 employees, and 2.42 acres of wetlands. More than half of the lost wetlands are inhabited by the San Francisco garter snake, California red-legged frog, and the San Francisco forktail dragonfly. Levels of service along portions Highway 101 and at selected intersections near new station sites would significantly deteriorate. Construction in Colma and west of Bayshore parcel would encroach on floodplains and increase the risks of flooding. Parklands in San Bruno would be adversely affected by the proposed alignment.

The database, described in detail by Hench and others (1994), allows the user to manually generate time series of tidal elevations or to use a program to access the full database to generate time series of both tidal elevations and currents for any location along the West Coast of the United States and Eastern North Pacific Ocean, extending from Seal Cape on Unimak Island, Alaska, in the North to Punta Parada, Peru, in the South. The land boundary includes the Pacific shorelines of Alaska, Canada, mainland United States, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, and Northern Peru. Although the capability to generate these time series was developed to provide input to the Long-Term Fate and Stability Model (LTFATE), the generated time series can be used for any application requiring tidal forcing data.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District has developed a bathymetry collection system which can operate in high energy wave conditions or dangerous environments inaccessible to other types of survey methods. The new system is capable of traversing steep grades, passing safely through the surf zone, operating on land, over structures, or in water with remarkable accuracy. A marked lead line suspended from a helicopter is used as a survey rod. A survey crew on shore uses a total station and a level to measure and location of the helicopter and the depth of the seabed. The USACE Portland District has been using this system since 1960. In the summer of 1990, this Helicopter-Borne Nearshore Survey System (HBNSS) was compared for accuracy and repeatability to the USACE Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB) at the USACE Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of solidification/stabilization (S/S) on four soils collected from the RMA. The four soils used in this evaluation were collected from the Basin A and M1 pit areas of the RMA. The four untreated soils were characterized for physical characteristics and contaminant concentration. Results of this characterization for the four untreated soils were used for comparison with the treated (solidified/stabilized) soil. Treated soils were solidified/stabilized (S/S) in an initial screening process using various binder-to-soil (BSR) and water-to-soil ratios (WSR). Two binders, Portland cement type 1 and kiln dust, were used to solidify the four soils. Samples from the initial screening process were subjected to the Cone Index test and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) to evaluate the effects of varying the BSR and WSR. The results of the initial screening tests were used to narrow the BSR and WSR used for detailed study. Four BSR and one WSR were used to treat each soil and each binder used for the study. Treated samples used in the detailed portion of this study were subjected to 10 physical testing procedures and 3 chemical leaching procedures. Results of this study indicate that S/S treatment for three of the four soils reduces the leaching of arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) by 90 percent. When the concentration of As and Hg is very high, only an 80 percent reduction in leachability is achieved. Another interesting observation resulting from this study is that prolonged water contact with treated soils having high contaminant concentrations resulted in complete loss of physical integrity.

Expedition Indodanau visited the lakes in March 1992 and August 1993. The water quality measurements indicated that the dissolved oxygen and nutrients had a vertical stratification, Further; concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 5.4 to 7.4 mg/L in the surface layers, but decreased to 0 mg/L at about 100 m depth in Ranau lake and at about 40-50 m in Singkarak lake. In the shallow Lake Diatas oxygen was found down to the bottom. The maximum depth of lake Ranau is 229 m, of Singkarak 268 m, and Diatas is 44 m. In the anoxic layers of Ranau and Singkarak lakes also large amounts of e.g. carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide were found. The nutrient concentrations generally increased towards the bottom, and the lakes were temperature stratified. JF - Tropical limnology. Vol. 2. Tropical lakes and reservoirs.

AN - 36396714; 4891 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of State Trunk Highway (STH) 64 between Houlton and New Richmond in northwestern Saint Croix County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The project area is located about 25 miles northeast of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan area. It begins northeast of Houlton and ends just east of New Richmond, and includes approximately 18 miles of existing STH 64. Some sections currently experience traffic volumes that exceed the capacity of the roadway, and forecasters predict that traffic volumes on STH 64 will nearly double between 1990 and 2016. By 2016, the entire length of STH 64 in the project area will operate at an unacceptable level of service, resulting in congestion and traffic backups. STH 64 is among the highways earmarked for improvement under the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Corridors 2020 Plan, devised to enhance economic development of the region. It has been designated for upgrading to a multilane facility. Nine build alternatives in the south corridor, 12 build alternatives in the central corridor, and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of April 1992. The facility in the south corridor would pass south of Somerset and south and east of New Richmond; the facility in the central corridor would follow a northeasterly alignment and pass south of Somerset and north of New Richmond. Under the preferred alternative, as identified in this final EIS, the facility would be located in the central corridor. The 14.6-mile-long roadway would be located on 7.8 miles of existing transportation routes and 6.8 miles of new alignment. The estimated total costs are $47.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Highway improvements would result in improved motorist convenience, safety, and energy use; greater potential for area economic and residential development due to improved transportation; stronger economic and social ties with the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area; improved emergency vehicle service; and the potential for new tax base sources in the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would result in 60 property encroachments, including nine farm severances. The project would involve 16 residential relocations, nine commercial relocations, and nine potential hazardous materials sites. The project could also cause the high degradation and/or loss of woodlands, and the moderate degradation of floodplains and water resources. Socioeconomic consequences of the project would include inconvenience and added cost because of traffic detours and delays during construction; the relocation of residences and businesses; and the removal of private properties from tax rolls, thereby causing a reduction in the tax base.

AN - 36404834; 4888 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the approximately 15-mile-long segment I-2 of the State Highway 99 (SH 99), the Grand Parkway, in Harris and Chambers counties, Texas, is proposed. The project would complete the area's regional mobility plan. The parkway was conceived in 1960; SH 99, along with SH 146, would form a circumferential loop around Houston. Upon completion, SH 99 would also provide access and increased mobility to areas without current access to the freeway network; expedite implementation of thoroughfare plans in various areas in support of business and residential growth; provide freeway capacity in those areas requiring additional emergency evacuation routes during hurricanes; and provide a central city bypass, relieving existing congestion. Segment I-2 would form a corridor intersecting SH 225 approximately 19 miles southeast of Houston and Interstate 10 (East) approximately 29 miles east of Houston. Prevailing land uses in the study corridor are farming, ranching, and industrial activities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6), segment I-2 would ultimately be a six-lane, limited-access freeway in a 300- to 400-foot right-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Segment I-2 would respond to current and projected area transportation needs, using existing roadways to the maximum practical extent. It would also reroute long range trips away from SH 146 through Baytown; this would shorten travel time, provide an alternate route for hazardous cargo, and reduce peak hour congestion. Bridges and other structures for stream and other channel crossings would not alter local drainage patterns. Under the preferred alternative, land from a publicly-owned park, recreation area of wildlife or waterfowl refuge would not be used. There are no known areas of unique scenic quality in the project vicinity; and no known archaeological or historic structures would be disturbed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would involve the acquisition of 586 acres. Some four acres of wetlands and 126 acres of prime or unique farmland would be adversely affected. Two Resource Conservation and Recovery Act sites, four underground storage tanks, and four spill incident sites would be located in or near the right of way. Under some of the action alternatives, construction would require the relocation of commercial and residential landowners. Vegetative communities, including wooded areas and farmland, would be removed; some floral and faunal populations would be destroyed. Noise exposure within the immediate project area would increase. Segment I-2 could contribute to higher regional ozone concentrations.

AN - 15222350; 4857 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Telluride Ski Area in the Uncompahgre National Forest in San Miguel County, Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is located directly south of the town of Telluride, approximately 330 miles southwest of Denver. Since 1971, it has been operated through a special-use permit issued to the Telluride Company; the ski area encompasses approximately 3,761 acres of national forest land and 326 acres of private land. Under the proposal submitted by the applicant, additional lifts and associated trails would be constructed and additional restaurants would be constructed in order to accommodate an expected increase in demand. Under the agency's preferred alternative (Alternative D), the management plan would generally resemble the applicant's proposal but minor modifications were made in order to minimize social, physical, and environmental effects. Under this plan, six lift pods with associated runs, trails, and gladed areas would be constructed; lift number 6 and its trail and run system would be realigned along the upper terminal; four restaurants would be developed and an existing restaurant would be expanded within the special use permit area; off-season recreational activities would be expanded in order to provide additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding and continued hang gliding access; and a lodge and series of small cabins would be developed in the Prospect Basin. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of March 1994 has been issued in response to public concerns about the project's impact on air quality in the region, which is classified as a non-attainment area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would provide new and improved ski facilities, increase the size and diversity of the existing resort, expand summer recreational opportunities, and enhance amenities of the overall area. The project would generate considerable revenue and stimulate the local economy; the increase in off-season opportunities would help to stabilize the year-round population and incomes. The project would be in compliance with the State Implementation Plan and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities, would adversely affect 665 acres of common vegetation; reduce cover for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion; and displace 7.6 acres of wetlands. Cleared or graded areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. The potential for avalanches would increase at some sites.

Needs were addressed within the scope of realistic product expectation and constraints. It became apparent that a combined search strategy employing the capabilities of scientists with law enforcement experience can accelerate development of low-profile technology focused on subsurface detection of clandestine tunnels. Scientific presentations outlined a proposed research plan to a panel of representatives from various law enforcement agencies who critiqued and offered constructive criticism. Presentations included: geologic principles, clandestine tunnel operations, modern tunneling technology (including microtunneling), a history of tunnel detection, southwest border geophysical test results from Otay Mesa, geologic criteria for selecting geophysical techniques for a site-specific search, computer applications using the Geographic Information System, and the development of a search strategy. Panel discussions covered conditions and tactical constraints faced by scientists operating along the southwest U.S/Mexico border. The workshop opened two-way communication for the exchange of ideas between scientists and law enforcement agents. Its primary accomplishment was a workable search strategy which can be supported jointly by law enforcement agents and the scientific community.

AN - 36410898; 4912 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment and expansion of an existing container shipping terminal near the port of Seattle, Washington, is proposed. The expansion would accommodate additional container services for American President Lines (APL) and other Port of Seattle customers in order to meet project demand here and abroad. Additional project objectives would include improving the Harbor Avenue SW corridor, increasing public shoreline access, cleaning up contaminated areas, and improving fish and wildlife habitat. The project area, which occupies roughly 285 acres, is located in the Duwamish estuary where the mouth of the Duwamish River flows into Elliot Bay and Puget Sound. This area presently contains 100 acres dedicated to terminal 5 leased to APL; 80 acres of combined upland and aquatic areas at the closed Lockheed Shipyard Number 2 and the closed wood treatment plant on the Wyckoff site; and 105 acres of upland west and south of these areas used by the Burlington Northern rail yard and other industrial facilities. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, terminal 5 would be expanded to occupy 190 acres with an intermodal rail yard. The existing pier would be extended by 400 feet to add one berth, providing the terminal with a total of three berths; this extension would require the removal of a timber pile pier, thereby reducing contamination levels in Elliott Bay. An additional 1,000 feet of pier could be added in the future to provide a fourth berth. Various cleanup activities would be undertaken under the preferred alternative. These would include regional cleanup pf contaminated sediments through phased implementation of a 19-acre submerged nearshore facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would increase the capacity of the port to handle additional shipping and improve the overall efficiency of operations. Terminal traffic would increase by roughly 10 percent, generating roughly $74.6 million in additional income. In addition, soils and marine sediments contaminated from past industrial practices would be cleaned up, and the potential for human consumption of contaminated shellfish and the contamination of groundwater through leaching would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The loss of an intertidal beach and some reduction of intertidal habitat would occur as a result of the expansion of Terminal 5. Cleanup operations would alter up to 19 acres of tribal fishing area by raising it from subtidal to intertidal elevations. Up to 10 businesses with 175 employees would be relocated.

AN - 36383864; 4882 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 draft 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 270 acres of prime farmland, result in nine residential relocations, and adversely affect 12.8 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.

AN - 36401617; 4890 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway with partial control of access in northeastern West Virginia and northwestern Virginia is proposed. The highway would connect Elkins, West Virginia, to Strasburg, Virginia, a distance of 114 miles. It would traverse mountainous terrain in portions of the West Virginia counties of Grant, Hardy, Randolph, and Tucker, as well as the Virginia counties of Frederick and Shenandoah. The highway would complete Corridor H of the Appalachian Development Highway System, improving east-west access as well as connecting several of the existing north-south highway systems. The purpose of this second draft supplement to the draft EIS of March 1981 is to analyze the impacts of preferred alignment. A previous draft supplement, issued in October 1992, had examined alternative corridors for the proposed highway. This second draft supplement compares the preferred alignment (Line A) with an upgrade local roads alternative and a No-Build Alternative. Line A would bypass Elkins to the north, would bypass Kerens to the east, and would pass through the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Roughly 100 miles of its length would be located in West Virginia; the remaining 14 miles would be in Virginia. The estimated construction costs range from $1.03 million to $1.08 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The east-west highway would enhance the economic development of central West Virginia by improving its access to eastern and midwestern markets; the highway would support approximately 17,800 permanent jobs. The project would reduce east-west travel time by up to 40 percent for automobiles and 48 percent for trucks; furthermore, the accident rate would be reduced by 36 percent, and fatalities by 50 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 68 residences and commercial establishments, up to 543 acres of farmland, and 37.7 acres of wetlands. Under the preferred alignment, the facility would also adversely affect four sensitive visual resources and as many as 11 sites eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, would encroach on 54 acres of flood zone, and would require the relocation of roughly two miles of streams.

Preparation date: November 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REGULATORY PERMITS FOR THE CENTRAL CITY WATER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CENTRAL CITY, GILPIN COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36399727; 4905 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the water supply system of Central City, Colorado, is proposed. Water demand has increased dramatically in the area since October 1991 when limited stakes gaming was introduced in Central City, spurring significant commercial growth. The lack of adequate raw water storage and demands on North Clear Creek Basin water have strained the existing water supply and made it necessary to develop additional water supply to meet municipal needs. Central City must compete for water from the Clear Creek basin with other communities in the north Denver area, and the lack of any facility to capture and store water during the spring runoff aggravates the city's problem. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the city's preferred alternative (Alternative I-1), a dam and a 600-acre-feet reservoir on Chase Gulch would be constructed. The dam site is located in the upper portion of Chase Gulch, approximately two miles upstream from the North Clear Creek confluence and 400 feet downstream from the confluence with New York Gulch. Water storage would occur primarily during spring runoff, and drawdown would occur primarily during winter and early spring when streamflows of the Chase Gulch watershed and Miner's Gulch are normally low. The dam would be constructed with earth and rock fill to provide a reservoir capacity of 600 acre-feet. The dam would be 560 feet wide and 85 feet high. It would flood approximately 25 acres. The dam and reservoir would require 10 months to construct. Stored water would be pumped to the city treatment facility in a 12-inch pipeline that would follow County Road 3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would be established. The reservoir would diversify recreational opportunities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water diversion and storage in the reservoir would have long-term depletion effects on streamflow below the dam. Dam construction would stimulate erosion of unvegetated areas, increasing suspended solids in streams. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation would be cleared or inundated, including 8 acres of wet meadow habitat. Late-season drawdowns of the reservoir would detract from the scenic value of the area.

Preparation date: November 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WONDERWOOD CONNECTOR, ARLINGTON TO MAYPORT, CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA (STATE PROJECT NO. 72000-1576). AN - 36396075; 4878 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 7.2- to 14.0-mile highway, to be known as the Wonderwood Connector, in Duval County, Florida, is proposed. The four- or six-lane, divided highway with controlled- or partially-controlled-access would begin near State Road (SR) 9A in the community Arlington and proceed eastward toward the Beaches area to Mayport Road (SR 101). Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in the final EIS. Under the build alternatives, design features would include 12-foot-wide travel lanes, safety shoulders, graded or curbed medians, and rights-of-way widths extending 200 to 300 feet for limited-access sections and approximately 120 to 170 feet for partially-controlled-access sections. A bridge would be constructed across the Intracoastal Waterway. Bridges also would be provided over major stream crossings, at major crossroads for the limited-access sections, and at other locations where necessary in order to accommodate wetlands, soil, and hydraulic conditions. Under the preferred alternative (the 14.0-mile option), the facility would have a 14-foot outside travel lane in each direction in order to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. The estimated cost of the project is $143.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expressway would connect the Arlington District and the Beaches of Jacksonville and provide a fourth Jacksonville crossing of the Intracoastal Waterway in Duval County. In addition, the connector would link the newly completed sections of SR 9A, including the Napoleon Bonaparte Broward Bridge and Mayport Road near the Mayport Naval Complex. Access to the commercial district of downtown Jacksonville would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 167 residences, 12 businesses, and 12.6 acres of wetlands. Approximately 526 sensitive receptors would be adversely affected by noise levels in excess of standards unless mitigation measures are undertaken. Up to seven archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places could be adversely affected. Construction activities would impede vessel and vehicular traffic.

Preparation date: November 16, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO GUANAJIBO, PUERTO RICO. AN - 36394228; 4910 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the cities of Mayaguez and San German, located in the Rio Guanajibo basin, in Puerto Rico, is proposed. Both cities experience flood damages of roughly $6.6 million per year. Mayaguez is located on the west central coast of Puerto Rico, about three miles from the mouth of the river; San German is located on the south bank of the river, 18 kilometers upstream from the ocean. Heavy rainfall coupled with runoff from the steep slopes of the upper basin can produce high discharges in a relatively short period of time. Under the recommended plan, implementation would consist of constructing a floodwall 6.26 kilometers long and a levee system along developed areas in the floodplain and about 1.3 kilometers of channel improvements to Cano Majagual in order to protect the Mayaguez-Hormigueros area against the 100-year flood. The material for the construction of the levee would come from a borrow area located in the floodplain; once construction were completed, the borrow area would be landscaped in order to provide emergent wetlands and open water habitat so that the loss of cattail wetlands could be mitigated. The plan would also include 1.47 kilometers of channel improvements to Rio Guanajibo in the San German area in order to provide a 10-year level of protection. The channel would be trapezoidal with a 65-meter bottom width. The total estimated first cost under the recommended plan is $26.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for two very vulnerable areas. It would provide net economic benefits of roughly $3.8 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the plan would be 2.6 to 1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would result in the loss of 141.6 acres of prime farmland, 27.6 acres of mangroves, and recreational facilities in the Mayaguez area. Channel work would result in high short-term turbidity levels in both areas. Floodwalls and levees would create a visual barrier for residents living in close proximity to the structures.

AN - 36405426; 4770 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of 1,822 acres of tidal wetlands on a diked bayland site near Collinsville in Solano County, California, is proposed. The site is currently used as grazing land and contains approximately 1,620 acres of federally regulated wetlands. Facilities would be constructed to receive up to 20 million cubic yards of dredged materials from ports and navigation channels in the San Francisco Bay estuary and to distribute the dredged materials over this site. The soils on the site had subsided after the construction of the original levees. Deposition of dredged materials would raise the subsided land surface back to an elevation level at which marsh could be established. After the subsided baylands have been filled, the levees would be breached to enable tides to ebb and flow over the constructed foundation of tidal channels and low marsh plains. The project would be undertaken in four phases in order to minimize temporary losses of wetlands during construction and to facilitate engineered placement of dredged materials. Dredged materials would be off-loaded from barges and placed in cells until elevations suitable for self-sustaining marsh were reached. The project would involve construction of a barge offloading and sediment distribution facility, a sediment rehandling facility, internal levees to contain dredged sediment slurry pumped to the site, a main and branch tidal system, a sub-drainage system, and ancillary facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore a large tidal marsh ecosystem, supporting abundant wildlife, fish, estuarine production, and diversity of marsh species and habitats. It would also provide significant capacity for disposal of sediments dredged from Bay area ports and navigation channels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would remove 1,650 acres of grazing land from agricultural land use and remove 541 acres of industrial zoned land, a revenue loss for the county. It would have the potential of creating mud waves, which would deform the marsh and increase the chance of releasing contaminants. Contaminants would accumulate in the holding pond and, if discharged to the Montezuma Slough or Sacramento River, violate water quality standards. The planned inundation of the area would displace the federally-protected salt marsh harvest mouse.

AN - 36408895; 4812 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Southeastern Expressway to provide for east-west travel through the cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, Virginia, is proposed. The expressway would be located in the extreme southeastern section of Virginia known geographically as the Hampton Roads region. Project study limits extend from Interstate 64 (I-64) between Bainbridge Road and Indian River Road in Chesapeake to the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Expressway (Route 44) between Laskin Road and Birdneck Road, a length of approximately 21 miles and a width averaging approximately 3.5 miles. The expressway would be a multilane grade-separated access-controlled divided highway. Interchanges would be constructed at major existing and proposed crossroads. The design would incorporate six lanes, two high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and standard shoulders; the expressway would have a design speed of 70 miles per hour. Initial corridors under consideration have been reduced to eight alternative groups providing for a total of 39 possible alignments. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of August 1989 documents changes to the project since the issuance of the draft EIS and reduces the number of build alternatives under consideration to five. Alignments would extend from 19.9 to 21.9 miles. The estimated project costs range from $353.8 million to $507.0 million, depending on the alignment selected and specific design considerations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion on existing routes would be relieved through redistribution of traffic patterns. Safety, efficiency, and convenience within the corridor would be improved. The number of accidents on area arterial roads would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions totaling 634 to 695 acres would result in the displacement of 177 to 717 families; displacements could be exacerbated due to the shortage of low- to moderate-income housing in the area. As a result, minority group residents could be inconvenienced. Six to 13 businesses would be displaced, along with 3 to 4 nonprofit organizations, and 1 church. Parkland, farmland, wetlands, forestland, and archaeologically, historically, and architecturally significant sites could also be adversely affected, as well as associated wildlife habitat, and two locally important scenic waterways. Two to 15 neighborhoods would be disrupted, including minority neighborhoods. Noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors. The endangered Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew would be impacted.

AN - 36395356; 4783 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, 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. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the restoration project would include the acquisition and decommissioning of both dams, the draining of the reservoirs, and the removal of all or part of the dams, powerhouses, and auxiliary structures. These actions would require the diversion of the river around the dams and the management of 14 million to 15 million cubic yards of sediments that have accumulated behind the dams over the past 81 years. The river could be diverted by way of a tunnel, surface diversion channel, low level diversion through the dam structure, or by notching dam down from the top. Sediment could be transported naturally by the river, stabilized on site, or dredged and removed offsite. Pieces of the dam or historically important structures could be left in place. Restoration efforts would begin by planting some species in the middle and upper river while the dams are still in place. To accommodate juvenile downstream migration of these species, turbine runners might need to be removed at both dams. 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: 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.

AN - 36396132; 4828 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the lower Rio Fajardo at Fajardo on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico is proposed. The river has a drainage area of about 26 square miles. Its headwaters lie in the Caribbean National Forest on the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains, roughly 3,450 feet above sea level. High rainfall over very steep headwaters in the rain forests of the Luquillo Mountains and a series of natural topographic constrictions in the lower valley, can result in major floods that peak rapidly at dangerously high levels, especially in the Maternillo/Puerto Real neighborhoods near the sea. Roughly 785 families would be affected by a 100-year flood. Total damages would range from $5.1 million for the 10-year flood $11.0 million for the 100-year flood. Under the recommended plan, Standard Project Level of protection would be provided. It would consist of four segments of levees with a total length of about 2,105 meters, a low flow structure, two road ramps, interior drainage facilities, and a wetlands mitigation plan. The levees would have a top width of 3.7 meters. Interior drainage elements would include a culvert under Jerusalem Avenue and five drainage structures. The plan would protect the communities Maternillo, Mansion de Sapo, and Playa de Fajardo at Punto Fajardo, the Santa Isidra development, the Pueblo sector, and San Pedro development located along the southern fringe of the town of Fajardo. The total first cost under the recommended plan is $5.5 million, and the benefit-to-cost ratio is 3.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for vulnerable areas near the river and reduce annual flood damages by 97 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Punta Fajardo levee would cross six acres of a coastal wetland forest dominated by mangroves and salt marsh formations, and reduce freshwater flushing in another 22 acres that would be isolated north of the levee. Roughly three acres of estuarine wetlands and three acres of higher, ecotonal area would be buried under this levee. Punta Fajardo levee would occupy about 0.5 acres of river bottom; Santa Isidra levee would cross cross less than 0.5 acres of riparian wetlands.

AN - 36395443; 4827 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing federal project at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, is proposed. Port Fourchon is located near the mouth of Bayou Lafourche in southern Lafourche Parish; the port has approximately 50 facilities serving the oil and gas industry as well as commercial and recreational fishing vessels. An authorized federal project provides for a navigation channel 12 feet deep and 125 feet wide in Bayou Lafourche and Belle Pass from the Gulf of Mexico through Port Fourchon. The 4.4-mile-long channel has been enlarged to 20 feet by 230 feet by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission (GLPC). A wider and deeper channel is needed so that drilling rigs can be serviced and repaired at the port and other deep-draft vessels can use the port. Nine alternatives, providing channel depths ranging from 20 to 34 feet, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide a channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide; the entrance channel would be 26 feet deep. GLPC would be responsible for dredging berthing areas, constructing bulkheads and dockside facilities, and providing utilities for servicing vessels. All material dredged from the inshore channel would be used for marsh restoration and for shoreline erosion control along the gulf shoreline. The material would be hydraulically dredged and placed so that after settling, the elevation would be approximately the same as the adjacent marsh. The estimated average annual cost under the preferred alternative is $303,000; the estimated average annual benefits are $710,000; the benefit-cost ratio is 2.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region and to the oil and gas industry. The preferred alternative would reduce the rate of marsh loss and help to restore damaged wetlands; the high rate of marsh loss in the area is mainly due to erosion caused by wave action on unprotected shorelines. Roughly 246 acres of marsh would be built over a 50-year period under this plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Annual dredging of the offshore reach would disrupt benthic habitat in the offshore channel.

AN - 36405103; 4804 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across Lake Oahe on the Missouri River in order to connect Emmons and Sioux counties, North Dakota, is proposed. The bridge would be located approximately midway between Bismarck, North Dakota, and Mobridge, South Dakota. Construction of the Lake Oahe project in 1958 created a transportation barrier to traffic in south-central North Dakota. No bridge crossings exist along the 100-mile stretch of the river between Bismarck and Mobridge. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alignment D-3) was developed in order to avoid a significant archaeological site on the east side of the lake, as well as sacred Native American sites on the west side of the lake. The alignment would extend approximately 6.25 miles. The bridge and associated causeways would be constructed entirely within a geologic slump area, reducing the amount of future stability problems that would be expected to occur in association with bridges within the other corridors. Bridge length would be 3,020 feet, while the east and west causeways would extend 650 feet and 2,000 feet, respectively. The estimated cost of the project ranges from $54 million to $63 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: East-west travel within the corridor between Bismarck and Mobridge would be enhanced significantly. The bridge would reduce the effects of Lake Oahe on the infrastructure of south-central North Dakota. Economic development and cultural interaction within the region would be fostered. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe would benefit from tax income, employment opportunities, cultural advantages, land use access, and opportunities for additional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction on the preferred alignment would increase the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation significantly. Approximately 288 acres of native prairie would be adversely affected in the short term, and long-term impacts would occur on 19 acres. Regionally significant adverse impacts would include the loss of 7 acres of woodlands, 23 acres of palustrine/riverine/lacustrine wetlands, and 10 acres of prime farmlands. A total of 17 landowners would be adversely affected. Landowner opposition could be a factor adversely affecting development within the selected corridor.

AN - 15223613; 4829 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for the floodplain of the Wisconsin River in Portage, Wisconsin, is proposed. The Wisconsin River is a tributary of the Mississippi River, with the confluence located just south of the city of Prairie du Chien. The city of Portage is located approximately 40 miles north of Madison; existing flood protection in the city consists of 18 miles of levees that were constructed beginning in 1861 along both sides of the river. Since 1880, the city has experienced 13 high water events lasting up to eight days in duration. The flood control proposal would concern only the portion of the levee system located within the city of Portage. Under a proposal considered in the final EIS of December 1983, flood control measures would include the raising of Summit Street between West Carroll and River Streets; the raising of the levee in Paquette Park between Conant and Edgewater Streets; the placing of a new levee section along the river from the State Highway 33 bridge downriver to near Dunn Street; the replacing of the riverward lock gates of the historic Portage lock structure and constructing a floodwall upriver to MacFarlane Road; the raising of the existing levee from the Portage lock structure to Ontario Street; and the constructing of a new levee parallel to the south side of US Highway 51 (US 51) and US 16 from Ontario Street downriver to the junction of the highway and County Road G. A draft supplement to the final EIS of December 1983 presented a modified proposal for the Portage Canal Lock under which the lock would be excluded from the flood barrier in order to avoid the costs of rehabilitating the lock; instead, a levee would be constructed with a culvert crossing the canal in front of the lock. In addition, implementation under the modified plan would involve some changes in levee design and alignment. The borrow area to be used for levee construction would be along the river adjacent to the proposed levee. This final supplement to the final EIS of December 1983 considers the modified plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the modified plan, the facility would not provide full flood protection for the city of Portage, but would provide protection to elevation 797 at the Portage Lock, with a 99.6 percent chance of passing the 100-year flood and a 98.9 percent chance of passing a 500-year flood. Annual benefits resulting from the project would be worth $1.05 million. Recreational opportunities would be enhanced by a trail on top of the levee and other facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the modified plan, approximately 22 acres of wetlands downstream of Ontario Street would be adversely affected. Using the Wisconsin River as a source of levee material would temporarily increase turbidity and suspended solids. Building a levee in front of the Portage Canal would adversely affect this historic site.

The proposal would provide a two-lane facility between the Niobrara, Nebraska, area and the Running Water and Springfield areas in South Dakota. Currently there is a 70-mile segment of the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota, and Fort Randall Dam near Pickstown, South Dakota, without a river crossing. Ferry service was discontinued in 1984. The bridge would be a two-lane structure with a 36-foot clear roadway and two-lane approach roadways with six-foot shoulders. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the alignment would start 1.5 miles east of Niobrara, extend north from N-12, and cross the Missouri River and tie into SD-37 north of Running Water. The facility would cross the downstream portion of the river segment designated as a recreation river and would cross property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The overall length of the alignment would be 2.5 miles, including 2,950 feet for the bridge itself. Under the other two construction alternatives, the facility would cross the river at a point near Verdel, Nebraska, and a point near Santee, Nebraska, and Springfield, South Dakota. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $15.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Niobrara and Running Water. Currently, travelers starting at Niobrara would have to travel approximately 45 miles east to get to Yankton, South Dakota, or 60 miles west to the Fort Randall crossing. By the year 2015, an estimated 340 vehicles would use the crossing each day. The crossing would improve emergency services in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 13 acres of prime farmland and 4 acres of wetlands. Construction activity would temporarily disturb wildlife and the local ecology. The facility would be a visual intrusion in a recognized scenic area. The segment of the river in the study area is part of the Lewis and Clark National Trail. Under all three of the build alternatives, construction would adversely affect one or more historic sites; under the preferred alternative, construction would also adversely affect a historic ferry landing.

AN - 36404376; 4798 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 29 miles of US 93 from Somers to west of Whitefish, 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 triangle of the communities of Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls. In addition, the segment of highway proposed for improvement serves tourist traffic destined for Glacier National Park and the Flathead Lake area. During the peak tourist season the highway operates at a level of service D or E in many locations. 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. Under the proposed action, improvements would include the reconstruction of US 93 along its existing corridor. The roadway would be widened to meet capacity requirements of two travel lanes in each direction with provisions for left turns, and eight- to ten-foot shoulders would be added. Minor adjustments would be made for improving horizontal curves or flattening vertical grades; pedestrian and bicycle facilities would be provided; and numerous intersections would be upgraded and improved. A four-lane bypass would be constructed on new location around the western edge of Kalispell, and improvements would be made to Spokane Street, Second Street, and Baker Avenue in Whitefish. The project would probably be constructed in phases and completed by 1999. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, 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. The highway expansion under Alternative A would generally fit within the rights-of-way already purchased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would displace 8 residences and 6 businesses; fill 5.95 acres of wetlands and portions of floodplains along 12 streams; and adversely affect approximately 60 acres of prime farmland. Five historic properties would be adversely affected, and land would be taken from the Ashley Creek Recreation Trail to transportation uses.

AN - 36399718; 4817 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a waterfront park in the Ohio River floodplain in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, is proposed. The site is located along the south bank of the Ohio River between the Clark Memorial Bridge (river mile marker 603.7) and Beargrass Creek (marker 602). The lands within the park area are either vacant or being used for industrial purposes; the harbor site, which adjoins the proposed park site on the east and extends to Beargrass Creek, currently consists of open green space and a municipal marina. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would consist of a 100-acre park and a 50-acre residential and expanded marina; the sites would be developed by the project applicant, the Waterfront Development Corporation. The waterfront park would include a public wharf with moorings for commercial riverboats; the Waterfront Development Corporation headquarters building; a four-story restaurant building; a festival plaza with a hard surface for events; a great lawn, consisting of 17.5 acres of grass; a harbor for professionally piloted boats; and a 67-acre linear park with trees, meadow lands, and four river inlets. The harbor project would include the expansion of the existing marina for pleasure boats, residential units, a restaurant, a public promenade along the river edge, and a public boat ramp. Under the preferred plan, the existing topography in the project area would be extensively altered by the removal of earth in the wharf, great lawn, and harbor areas and by the use of fill in the linear park to create land forms. Changes would occur on the river edge by the removal of earth to create inlets and a harbor, and the addition of a pile-supported platform to extend the proposed great lawn 120 feet from the river edge. The dredging would primarily take place from the land and would move the earth from the shore to the land side. The three other plans that are also under consideration are not recommended for implementation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The landscaping and inlet construction would improve the area visually and ecologically. Wildlife usage and faunal diversity would increase for both aquatic and terrestrial species. The inlets would serve as a refuge for native wildlife and plants and would not be accessible to boats. The construction and operation of the facility would create approximately 380 full- and part-time jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under high water conditions, the strong flow of water beneath the great lawn platform would create potential danger for small boats.

Preparation date: October 4, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PARALLEL CROSSING OF CHESAPEAKE BAY, US 13, VIRGINIA BEACH--NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 15224329; 4811 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane 19.5-mile-long trestle and bridge to cross the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Northampton County on Virginia's Eastern Shore is proposed. The facility would run parallel to the existing two-lane facility operated by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel District since 1959; the facility is the only direct link between the Delmarva Peninsula and southeastern Virginia. In recent years traffic has steadily increased on the structure, particularly during the summer months when maintenance work must be performed. The project would consist of a low-level trestle structure adjoining the existing trestle; two high-level bridges over the North Channel and Fishermans Inlet; and at-grade roadway construction at Virginia Beach, across Fisherman's Island and on the Eastern shore. The trestle structure (piles, pile cap beams, and concrete superstructure) would support a roadway 36 feet wide from gutter line to gutter line, with two 12-foot-wide travel lines, a three-foot inside shoulder, and a nine-foot outside shoulder. The two bridges would have the same vertical and horizontal main span clearances as the two existing bridges. The $300 million project would accommodate the future construction of tunnels parallel to the existing tunnels beneath the Thimble Shoal and Chesapeake navigation channels. The project would not entail the construction of two additional tunnels; instead, the new roadway would tie into the existing crossing at each of the four tunnel portal islands. The parallel roadway would be built on the Bay side of the existing structure in order to minimize the risk of ocean waves pushing construction equipment into the existing facility, and roughly 250 feet or more from the existing crossing to minimize local scour. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would reduce the risks of accidents and improve traffic safety, accommodate expected traffic growth, and enable the performance of major maintenance work on the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Long-term impacts would include the loss of benthic habitat from portal island berm construction, bridge and trestle pile installation, and the widening of the Fishermans Island causeway. Less than one acre of wetlands and 2.6 acres of shallow water /intertidal habitat at Fisherman's Island would be displaced by the proposed construction. Short-term impacts would include increased turbidity and sedimentation from construction channel dredging and other construction activities. The northernmost three miles of the project would cross two national wildlife refuges.

The treated water is injected into the unconfined aquifer on the other side of the slurry wall via 38 recharged wells and 15 recharged trenches, collectively referred to as the recharged system. Over time, the dewatering and especially the recharged system have a tendency to become clogged, which limits their effectiveness. A number of factors have been attributed to the degradation in performance of dewatering and recharged systems. These are air binding, sodium adsorption, metal precipitation, deposition of cementing agents, straining of suspended solids, and microbial growths or biofouling. This report presents the results of three separate assessments of reduced recharged capacity of a pump-and-treat system. The fate of carbon fines throughout the North Boundary system, clogging because of periodic losses of activated carbon fines, and growth of microorganisms in the recharged system are addressed.

AN - 36411339; 4791 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of State Route (SR) 231 between SR 91 (at approximately postmile 16.4 on SR 91) and south of Interstate 5 at SR 133 (approximately postmile 23) in Orange County, California, is proposed. The project would attempt to meet the need for a north-south highway linkage in east Orange County. The study area, primarily undeveloped land, is bound by Yorba Linda to the north; Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin to the west; Irvine to the south; and the Cleveland National Forest, Irvine Ranch lands, and the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro to the east. Three alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the build alternative, a controlled-access toll facility would be constructed that would extend approximately 17 miles and include two reversible or concurrent high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes. The facility would include a single alignment called the north leg through Gypsum and Blind Canyons transitioning to the east leg south of Santiago Canyon Road. The east leg would cross Loma Ridge near Rattlesnake Canyon, extend southeasterly toward Siphon Reservoir and the interchange with the Foothill Transportation Corridor; it then would extend southerly along the air station's west boundary to an interchange at the confluence of I-5 and the Laguna Freeway. At the transition between the north and east legs, at the East Orange interchange, the alignment would have interchanges with several local arterials and SR 261. In all, the alignment would have interchanges with four freeways and eight arterials. The estimated cost of the build alternative is $850 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion on SR 91, SR 55, and I-5 would be reduced significantly, as would traffic congestion on arterials in northeastern Orange County. Direct connections between residential and employment areas would be created in the northern and southern portions of the county. The regional mobility plan's goals of reducing transportation-related emissions would be forwarded. Planned community development would be assisted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the build alternative would result in the loss of 169 acres of farmlands, 19 acres of oak woodlands, 502 acres of mixed habitat, 227 acres of coastal sage scrub, 4,400 many-stemmed dudleya plants, and 1.9 acres of wetlands. Increased noise would impact Irvine and Featherly parks, some residences, and one church. Four archaeological sites would be adversely affected, as would fossil resources.

AN - 36404178; 4766 AB - PURPOSE: The harvesting of timber from the Ushk Bay project area located on the southwest end of Chichagof Island, Alaska, is proposed. The project area is located approximately 30 air miles north of Sitka, and is bordered on the east by Peril Strait, on the west and south by the West Chichagof-Yakoba Wilderness, and on the north by a designated roadless area. The Tongass National Forest is the last substantially-intact temperate rain forest on Earth. The harvesting would be in accordance with the 50-year contract between the Forest Service and the Alaska Pulp Corporation (APC). The issues raised during public scoping include the effects of the harvesting and road construction on subsistence users, the Native allotment land claim at Deep Bay, old-growth forest, recreation and visual resources, socioeconomic conditions, wildlife habitat, and fish and shellfish habitat. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative F), some 67 million board feet (MMBF) of timber would be harvested in 60 harvest units on 2,166 acres. The harvesting would take place in the vicinity of Ushk Bay and Poison Cove. To implement this level of harvesting, 27 miles of new system roads and 15.4 miles of temporary roads would be constructed, and a temporary drive-down log-transfer facility would be constructed on the south side of Poison Cove in order to transfer most harvested logs to the water. The road system would be closed following timber harvesting. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the harvesting would generate approximately 359 jobs and $12.51 million in employee compensation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the alternatives, harvesting activities would result in a significant restriction on the subsistence use of deer in the project area. Under the preferred alternative, harvesting activities would result in the loss of 1,941 acres of old-growth forest. The project would also adversely affect riparian, beach fringe, and estuary fringe habitat. Road construction would require the clearing of approximately 281 acres, and there would be 115 stream crossings. While the access provided by new roads would enhance some recreational opportunities within the area, the roads would also detract from the primitive character of the area and therefore reduce the overall satisfaction of the forest visitor.

AN - 36394043; 4826 AB - PURPOSE: The development of hurricane surge protection for populated areas of the west bank of the Mississippi River, adjacent to New Orleans, Louisiana, is proposed. The project area comprises 36,000 acres, dominated by heavy residential, commercial, and light agricultural development. It is bounded by the Mississippi River to the north and east, by the Harvey Canal and Bayou Barataria on the west, and by Hero Canal and the Plaquemines Parish levee on the south. The Algiers Canal divides the study area into two relatively equal parts. Although some sizable forested tracts remain in the project area, most of this acreage will be developed in the future. Because of the low elevations that prevail in the area, disastrous flooding could occur. Flooding was experienced in 1985 from Hurricane Juan, which was classified as a category I hurricane. Under the recommended plan for the area west of the Algiers Canal, the project would involve the construction of a navigable floodgate in the Harvey Canal, about 3,600 feet south of Lapalco Boulevard. A navigation bypass channel would be constructed in order to temporarily accommodate Harvey Canal traffic during floodgate construction. The bypass channel would later serve as part of the outfall canal for the Cousins pumping station, significantly increasing its capacity. A combination of levees and floodwalls would provide protection on the east side of the Harvey Canal from the floodgate to the Hero pumping station. Under the selected plan for the east side of the Algiers Canal, the project would involve raising the existing protection. From the Algiers Lock, the existing protection would be enlarged along the east side of the Algiers Canal and along the north bank of the Hero Canal. The protection would wrap around the head of the Hero Canal and continue west along the south bank of the canal. A new levee constructed near Oakville would connect the enlarged Hero Canal levee with an existing levee. The total first cost of the project west of the canal is $99.6 million, and $20.0 million for the project east of the canal. The benefit-cost ratio is 4.56 and 1.55, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plans, the project would maximize flood protection, result in little disruption to Harvey Canal businesses, maintain low costs, and minimize adverse effects because of their reliance on existing alignments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plans, the project would adversely affect 279 acres of wildlife habitat, including 46 acres of wooded swamp, as a result of levee and outfall channel construction, temporary stockpile area, and wooded borrow areas. Roughly 92 acres of non-wetland pasture would be destroyed to obtain borrow material. Disturbance of sediments in the Harvey Canal, which is known to contain contaminants, would cause temporary water quality problems in the canals.

AN - 36399509; 4815 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 27.5 miles of US 14/16/20 from west of Cody, Wyoming, to Yellowstone National Park is proposed. The highway is one of five principal points of access to the park, and over half a million visitors annually enter the park via the highway. The section of the highway slated for improvements is located entirely within the Shoshone National Forest and follows the North Fork of the Shoshone River. The highway was constructed in the 1930s, and in May 1991 was designated a scenic byway by the Forest Service. From 1980 to 1991, 187 accidents occurred along the 27.5 miles of the highway under consideration; two of those accidents involved fatalities. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under Build Alternative A, the existing highway would be improved in its current location. The improved highway would consist of two 12-foot lanes, two six-foot shoulders, a clear zone, and shifts of 40 feet or less off the existing centerline of the road. In a few locations, the 50-mile-per-hour (50-mph) design speed would not be achieved. Design standards would be compromised in four locations (mileposts 13.5, 15.7, 23.6, and 26.5) in order to minimize impacts to the landscape. Under Build Alternative B (the preferred alternative), the project would be identical to that under Alternative A throughout 19.5 miles, or 71 percent, of the project's length. The remaining eight miles would be reconstructed in alternate locations under Alternative B, with alternate location being defined as any shift off the current centerline of 40 feet or more. Such a shift would occur in 12 locations, including two or three new crossings of the North Fork of the Shoshone River. A 50-mph design speed would be maintained throughout the project's entire length; design standards would be compromised in the same four locations as under Alternative A. The Forest Service is considering two related alternatives that would involve renovating recreational facilities along the highway or developing new ones. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would reduce existing hazardous driving conditions for visitors entering Yellowstone from the east, and result in a facility constructed, for the most part, to current design standards with sufficient capacity to accommodate projected traffic for the next 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the highway would encroach on 1.8 acres of floodplains, displace 4.5 acres of wetlands, and disturb 328 acres of land. Seven public campgrounds, picnic areas, or interpretive sites would be adversely affected by the proximity of highway construction. Wildlife would be temporarily affected during construction, and some species would experience a permanent loss (110 acres) of crucial winter range. Five historic or archaeological properties would be adversely affected.

AN - 36404883; 4787 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway, built to interstate standards, between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-430 interchange and an interchange at US 67/167 in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is proposed. Pulaski County is located in the center of the state at the junctions of I-40 and I-30 and US Highways 65 and 67/167. The county contains the largest metropolitan area in the state. The highway, which would extend 12.6 miles, would be constructed on a new alignment with an average rights-of-way width of 300 feet. The facility would have two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, separated by a variable-width median. Access would be fully controlled, with interchanges and grade separation structures utilized at selected locations. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-430 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67 /167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at six locations within Camp Robinson to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the project is $68.7 million, and the cost-benefit ratio is estimated at 1.36. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a direct east-west facility connecting the developing northeastern and northwestern portions of the county. Congestion would be decreased on existing streets and highways paralleling the corridor, particularly SH 107 and US 67/167, improving safety on these arterials. The highway would be consistent with the longstanding Pulaski Area Transportation and Land Use Plans by providing an east-west bypass of the metropolitan area, providing access to high-growth areas in the northern portion of the county, and serving as the northern link in the metro area's circumferential freeway. Provision of the highway would result in annual savings of $1.16 million and the prevention of 399 accidents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 5 businesses and 24 residences, 243 acres of prime farmlands, 25 acres of forested wetlands, and 3 acres of cultivated wetlands. The highway would encroach on 11,900 linear feet of floodplains and 2,700 linear feet of floodway. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction.

AN - 36407288; 4761 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by CR Briggs Corporation of a an open-pit heap-leach gold mine project on a 940-acre site in the Panamint Valley in southeastern California is proposed. The site is approximately 34 air miles northeast of the city of Ridgecrest and located about 3.5 miles west of the Panamint Ridge ridgeline that forms that southwestern boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Briggs project would mine ore and associated unmineralized rock from an open pit. Unmineralized rock would be discarded in waste rock dumps that would be constructed outward from the steep slopes of the Panamint Range. Ore would be processed using cyanide heap leach methods; gold would be recovered using carbon adsorption. The project would be designed to mine and process an estimated 21 million tons of ore and approximately 27 million tons of waste rock. At an average ore processing rate of four million tons annually, the project would operate for about six years. Major components of the project would include a mine pit, two waste rock piles, crushing and ore transport facilities, a heap leach pad, process water storage ponds, a gold processing plant, a clay borrow area, and growth media stockpiles. The heap leach pad and process water ponds would be constructed with low permeability liners consisting of plastic membranes and compacted low permeability fine-grained soil. The soil would be supplied from an onsite borrow area and one off-site location. Power would be provided by onsite generators. Approximately 400 gallons per minute of water would be required, primarily for ore processing and dust control. During construction, surface soils from disturbed areas would be salvaged and stockpiled for use as growth media for final site reclamation. Reclamation would occur concurrent with site activities in areas that would not be subject to additional disturbance. Decommissioning and reclamation would occur for about one year after completion of operations. Action alternatives recommending different ore beneficiation rates, a reduced project size, modified waste rock pile configurations, and alternative waste rock and processed ore disposal are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide 130 direct jobs and 160 indirect jobs, generating local economic benefits of about $23 million, including payroll, goods and services purchased, and taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 505 acres of desert land and adversely affect two species classified by the state as sensitive: the Townsend big-eared bat and the burrowing owl. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

Preparation date: September 8, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAKE ARTERIAL EXTENSION (STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 31-LAYTON AVENUE); KENOSHA, MILWAUKEE, AND RACINE COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36405073; 4814 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 21-mile north-south arterial highway extending from the southern Milwaukee, Wisconsin, metropolitan area to communities in Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Racine counties is proposed. The northern project limit is in the city of Cudahy at Layton Avenue; this also serves as the southern terminus of an ongoing construction project referred to as the Lake Parkway. The southern project limit is in Kenosha County near the intersection of State Trunk Highway 31 and County Trunk Highway A. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under any of the build alternatives, an arterial with either two or three 12-foot-wide driving lanes in each direction separated by a median would be constructed. Under Alternative 2, in the northern portion of the project corridor, the alignment would generally follow alongside the Chicago & North Western Railroad, with three routing variations occurring within an environmentally sensitive area. In the southern portion of the corridor, the alignment would follow the west side of the railroad tracks for half of the way and the east side of the tracks for the rest of the way to the southern terminus. Under Alternative 3, two existing suburban arterials in the northern portion of the corridor (Layton and Howell avenues) would be upgraded from two to three lanes in each direction. Each street's existing auxiliary lane would be widened to preserve the street's 28-foot-wide median. In the southern portion of the corridor, the alignment would have follow the same alignment as under Alternative 2. Under both of the alternatives, improvements would include a 50-foot-wide corridor of additional rights-of-way for possible future mass transit use. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $120 million to $160 million. The No-Build Alternative is the recommended alternative because of its strong support from local government units and the general public throughout the project corridor, and the opposition to both of the build alternatives. Most local resident and local government representatives testified that area transportation needs would be met by existing roadways and by a greater commitment to mass transit. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the build alternatives, the facility would help to reduce traffic congestion on local roads. Currently, the area's major north-south route is I-94; getting to this facility requires making east-west trips, which increases overall trip mileage and duration. Under the No-Build Alternative, not building the facility would avoid adverse effects to the area's natural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the build alternatives, the project would involve the conversion of up to 884 acres to highway use. Lost acreage would include up to 88 acres of wetlands, 633 acres of cropland and pasture, and 22 acres of woodlands. The project would require the displacement of up to 64 residences and 12 businesses; and three historic sites and five archaeological sites would be adversely affected. Under the No-Build Alternative, traffic congestion would increase and safety on certain roadways would decrease. Additionally, land development along the I-94 corridor in areas well outside the established and planned urbanized area would be further encouraged. These problems would hamper the city of Racine's ability to attract and retain businesses and residents, and would hinder efficient access to other communities, including Oak Creek, Caledonia, and Mount Pleasant.

AN - 36397244; 4794 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 12 miles of US 119 in Letcher County, Kentucky, is proposed. US 119 begins at its junction with US 25E south of Pineville, Kentucky, and runs northeast to the communities of Cumberland, Whitesburg, and Pikeville, exiting the state into West Virginia at Williamson. US 119 is an integral part of the Appalachian Development Highway System, which, together with interstate highway system, was designed to stimulate economic development in the region. The segment of US 119 from Partridge to Whitesburg, the county seat, is important because it links the communities of extreme southeastern Kentucky to the rest of the Appalachian System. Pine Mountain, a 125-mile-long overthrust block, has historically been a barrier to upgrading this segment of US 119, a two-lane facility with inadequate pavement widths, narrow or nonexistent shoulders, and unstable embankment areas. Data gathered from 1987 to 1990 indicated that this section of US 119 had more accidents than any other comparable Kentucky highways. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative R-I, construction would involve realigning and improving the existing highway. Under both Alternative C-1 and Alternative C-5, construction would involve making an open cut through Pine Mountain. Under both Alternative T-2 and Alternative T-5, construction would involve constructing a tunnel through the mountain. Under both Alternative C-5 and Alternative T-5, the facility would be routed up the valley of the Poor Fork of the Cumberland River on the south side of the mountain; while under both Alternative C-1 and Alternative T-2, the facility would be aligned through the valley of Cowan Creek on the north side of the mountain. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve deficiencies in the existing highway, provide a critical connecting link in the overall transportation system, promote economic development, and reduce the number of traffic accidents. The roadway would improve the general circulation and accessibility between the area and the surrounding community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way acquisition would displace up to 105 residences, 4 businesses, 3 cemeteries, 2 churches, and 1 school. Under some of the alternatives, the facility would encroach onto the Pine Mountain Wildlife Management Area, a 6,000-acre area managed by the state. Under all of the build alternatives, the facility would adversely affect the habitat of five endangered species found in the area. Under any of the tunnel or open-cut alternatives, the facility would produce a drawdown of the groundwater table in the vicinity of the construction. Numerous stream crossings and instances of floodplain encroachment would occur under all of the build alternatives. Streams and waterways would experience increased siltation resulting from construction.

The enzyme extract was found to reduce TNT levels in four of the six soils examined over a 35-day incubation period. With more extensive incubation, treatments containing the enzyme extract significantly reduced TNT levels in highly contaminated soils as well. Based on monoclonal antibody investigations of the pond sediment, a stonewort (Nitella sp.) was found to be the source of the nitrate reductase enzyme found in the sediment. Samples of the stonewort were collected and used to treat the same six soils. Stonewort was effective in reducing the TNT concentrations in all six soils. Based on this work, use of the nitrate reductase in highly concentrated form may be effective for treating low to highly contaminated soils in bioreactors. However, to obtain sufficient enzyme for this purpose, the gene responsible for enzyme production will need to be cloned into a rapidly growing microorganism. Use of intact stonewort plant material will be an effective treatment for in situ bioremediation. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene, Nitrate reductase, Enzyme, Stonewort, Explosive.

AN - 36401435; 4813 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the existing south bridge of the Twin Bridges crossing the Yakima River in Benton County, Washington, is proposed. The bridges are located approximately one mile north of the city of West Richland and provide a crossing for Grosscup Road, which in turn provides access from West Richland to State Route 240 and the Department of Energy's Hanford Reservation. The bridges consist of a one-lane bridge extending from the southerly bank of the Yakima River to an island, and a two-lane bridge from the island to the river's northerly bank. Since its construction in 1915, the one-lane bridge has deteriorated, and it can no longer support the weight of today's larger vehicles. Replacement of the bridge is considered necessary to improve safety and accommodate projected traffic demands. Weight restrictions on the existing bridge limit emergency vehicle access and increase emergency response times. Deterioration of the bridge and its encroachment into the 100-year floodway could lead to failure and collapse of the structure. Six alternatives for the Twin Bridges, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2 Modified), the project would involve the replacement of both the north and south bridges with new spans. Snively Road would intersect with Grosscup Road at a redesigned T intersection. Construction would require the acquisition of seven acres of privately-owned right-of-way. Estimated construction costs are $4.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under any of the build alternatives, the replacement would improve traffic safety, reduce traffic congestion, and accommodate projected traffic demand. The structure would be designed to accommodate, at a minimum, a peak-hour traffic volume of 1,900 vehicles per hour in the year 2012, and would operate at a level of service of B. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would involve the loss of 5.5 acres of vegetation, including three acres dedicated to agricultural production. In addition, it would involve the relocation of the Columbia Irrigation District Canal farther south. Soils highly susceptible to wind erosion would be disturbed. During construction, air quality would be degraded by dust emissions, and some temporary degradation of water quality would occur from sedimentation and runoff.

AN - 36404251; 4704 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four- to six-lane, limited-access highway from the proposed Veterans Expressway in Hillsborough County, Florida, to US 98 in Hernando County is proposed. The project would be approximately 43 miles long, and include 12 interchanges, associated improvements to connecting or intersecting roads, and provisions for future commuter rail transit and/or high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes within the roadway median. The right-of-way width would be 300 to 400 feet. The project area is divided into two zones: zone 1 extends 15 miles from the Northwest Freeway near Van Dyke Road to State Route 52 (SR 52) in Pasco County, while zone 2 extends 28 miles from SR 52 to US 98. Each zone is subdivided into several sections, for which two to four alternative alignments are under consideration. Traffic demand projections indicate a need for a six-lane highway throughout most of the length of the project, except for the northernmost and southernmost portions, where four lanes would be adequate. Within zone 1, interchanges with the Veterans Expressway, Van Dyke Road, Lutz-Lake Fern Road, SR 54, the proposed Bi-County Expressway, the proposed Ridge Road extension, and SR 52 would be provided. Within zone 2, interchanges with County Line Road, Spring Hill Drive, SR 50, and Centralia Road would be provided. In addition to various build alternatives, three other alternatives are under consideration: (1) improving the existing regional roadway network, (2) providing rapid transit and other alternative transportation modes, and (3) a No-Build Alternative. The estimated cost of the preferred build alternative $327.9 million for both construction and rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would serve an area that is already experiencing rapid residential and industrial development. It would relieve congestion on local roadways, resulting in decreased emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. It is estimated that by the year 2010, the proposed highway would reduce traffic on US 19, US 41, and Interstate 75 by 20 to 50 percent. Secondary impacts would include improved access by commuters and other area residents to Tampa and St. Petersburg. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way would require 2,369 acres of land, displacing 99 residences, 3 businesses, 2 farms, and 181 acres of wetlands. Up to 111 sites, primarily residences, would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards. Several federally protected species have been observed in the project vicinity, including the Wood Stork, Bald Eagle, American Alligator, and Eastern indigo snake; some habitat displacement is likely to occur.

AN - 36396598; 4738 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a revised water control plan for the Missouri River main stem system is proposed. The main stem system consists of six dams and reservoirs located in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Water flowing down the Missouri River is stored in the six lakes and released as needed for downstream purposes. The Corps of Engineers operates the main stem system to balance the needs for flood control, navigation, irrigation, hydropower, water supply, water quality control, recreation, and fish and wildlife. The water control plan was last revised in 1979. No structural changes to the reservoir system or navigation channels are under consideration. Instead, alternative plans focus on the amount of water stored in the permanent pool and the carryover multiple use zones of the lakes, and the allocation of stored water for downstream needs. Under the preferred alternative, implementation would maintain the permanent pool at current levels of 18 million acre-feet. The normal navigation season would be shortened from eight months to seven months. Navigation service criteria would be modified so that releases from main stem lakes would be reduced as drought conditions approach. Springtime flows would be increased in order to create a more natural flow pattern for the benefit of native fish species. The movement of stored water among the upper three lakes would be modified in order to create a rising pool in each reservoir, benefiting tern, plover, and native fish. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would improve recreational opportunities and fish and wildlife habitat within the main stem system. Habitat improvements would occur in all nine river reaches, and the greatest improvements would occur downstream from Sioux City, Iowa. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Annual benefits for navigation would be reduced by 15 percent as a result of the shortening of the season and the changes in flow patterns.

AN - 36404594; 4646 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Loring Air Force Base (AFB), located in Aroostook County, Maine, is proposed. Loring AFB, which comprises 9,035 acres, is located 400 miles north of Boston and 5 miles west and south of the Canadian border at New Brunswick. The AFB consists of the 8,317-acre main base as well as nine off-site parcels totaling 718 acres. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would include a comprehensive reuse plan for a mixed-use airport with civilian aviation activities, including general aviation, commercial aviation, maintenance, and air cargo components. These aviation uses would require up 1,894 acres of on-site property. Airfield improvements would include the installation of a precision instrument landing system and approach path on Runway 01/19, security fencing, runway and taxiway guidance signs, an airport beacon, and a weather observation station. Aviation support facilities, to be located west and south of the runway, would include the air traffic control tower, fuel system, fire station, hangars, and air cargo, maintenance, commercial aviation, and general aviation buildings. Additional uses of the property would include 599 acres for industrial development; 131 acres for medical and educational facilities; 194 acres for office and other commercial uses; 598 acres for residential land uses, 1,717 acres for open space and an urban park, and 3,304 acres for agricultural and forestry development. The 594-acre Madawaska Dam site, located off-site, would be set aside as a natural resource conservation area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. Under the proposed action, reuse activities would increase employment levels by approximately 4,461 direct jobs and 3,339 secondary jobs by the year 2014. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed development activities would convert 1,697 acres of farmland to nonagricultural use. The quantities of hazardous materials used and wastes generated would be greater than under closure conditions. The responsibility for managing hazardous materials and wastes would shift from a single user to multiple, independent users, which could reduce the area's capability of responding to hazardous materials and waste spills and would increase the regulatory burden. Air pollutant emissions would increase, and surface water runoff would result from 572 acres of ground disturbance. The number of people living in areas exposed to surface traffic noise levels of 65 decibels or greater would increase by 749. Development activities could adversely affect historic properties that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 36400380; 4740 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of habitat mitigation measures in association with the hurricane protection project for Lake Pontchartrain, in Louisiana is proposed. This second final supplement to the final EIS of January 1975 on the implementation of the hurricane protection project addresses the mitigation plan. The originally authorized hurricane protection plan consisted of placement of barrier structures in the Rigolets and Chef Menteur tidal passes and the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. In addition, levees were to be built along the entire lakefront from Bonnet Carre Spillway to South Point, with a connection to the Mississippi River levees along the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. Ring levees were to be built around the New Orleans East and Chalmette areas. The barrier complexes were challenged in court, and an injunction was placed against their construction. Upon reevaluation of the plan, the barrier complexes were abandoned permanently, and the project was confined to the raising of levees. The levee alignment in Saint Charles Parish was moved from the lakefront to just north of Airline Highway (US 61). Annualized losses due to measures under the project include 854 acres of brackish/saline marsh, 108 acres of fresh/intermediate marsh, 233 acres of marsh pond, and 134 acres of forested wetlands, for a total of 1,329 acres. Annual losses of habitat amount to 2,610 average annual habitat units for seven wildlife species. The tentatively selected plan for mitigation of these losses would involve the protection of approximately five miles of the Manchac Wildlife Management Area (WMA) from shoreline erosion, thus preserving 1,100 acres of wetlands annually. The shoreline lies along Lake Pontchartrain from First Canal to a point 2,000 feet south of the southernmost boundary of the WMA. A combination of rock dike and marsh grass plantings would provide protection to the shoreline. More specifically, shoreline protection would be provided via a series of rock dikes, each of which would be 4.5 feet high and 200 feet long; 50-foot gaps would separate the dikes. Shoreline protection would be supplemented by planting of marsh vegetation in the area between the shoreline and the dike. Dredged material would be temporarily deposited along the edge of the flotation channel or stored in holding barges until dike construction was completed in order to allow rock-carrying barges to enter and leave the site. The dredge would then be used to backfill the channel following construction. The estimated first cost of the mitigation measures is $4.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provisions under the plan would mitigate over 80 percent of the wildlife acreage loss and nearly 100 percent of the habitat units lost as a result of hurricane protection. The plan would be responsive to all project planning constraints; effective and economically efficient; supported by state and federal interests; and located on public land. The plantings and bank protection would preserve wildlife and fishery habitat on 300 acres of marsh, 244 acres of cypress, and 600 acres of marsh ponds each year. The mitigation land would be accessible to residents of all affected parishes. There would be a net gain of 5,000 person-days of sport fishing and hunting, and 100,000 pounds of commercial fin and shellfish harvest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the flotation channel would result in significant, long-term violations of Louisiana State Water Quality Standards. Dike construction would disturb and displace lake bottom habitat.

Preparation date: August 18, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RED MOUNTAIN FREEWAY (LOOP 202), PRICE FREEWAY TO STATE ROUTE 87, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36406968; 4699 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway along the south side of the Salt River in the city of Mesa, Arizona, is proposed. The roadway would extend approximately three miles from the Price Freeway on the west to State Route 87 on the east, and constitute a segment Loop 202 within the Phoenix metropolitan area; Loop 202 is comprised of the Red Mountain, Santan, and South Mountain corridors. A recent traffic analysis concluded that such an east- west facility is needed to relieve traffic congestion in the area; by 2015, daily traffic volume is expected to increase by 81 percent over existing volumes. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be a six-lane freeway with grade-separated interchanges and controlled access. The freeway mainline would consist of two 36-foot-wide roadways separated by a 46-foot-wide median. The freeway would be generally at or slightly above ground level; elevated diamond interchanges would be provided at Dobson Road and Alma School Road. A portion of Dobson Road north of 8th Street would be realigned to connect with the diamond interchange. A half-diamond interchange would be constructed at the eastern terminus at State Route 87. An elevated grade separation over McKellips Road would be built. If constructed, collector-distributor roads between McKellips Road and Alma School Road interchange ramps would provide access between McKellips Road and the freeway. An eight- lane major urban alternative is also under consideration. The total estimated costs under the preferred alternative are $60 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would alleviate a projected increase in traffic congestion and would provide a critical connecting link in the overall transportation system. The roadway would improve the general circulation and accessibility between the area and the surrounding community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 62 mobile homes in a mobile home park, 15 businesses, and 39 acres of farmland. The freeway would encroach on the regulatory floodway and floodplain of the Salt River. Disturbances of biological and cultural resources would be minimal because the area has been used for sand and gravel mining, agriculture, and urban development.

AN - 36404728; 4722 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of an interagency program to assist law enforcement agencies with drug interdiction efforts in the southwestern border states is proposed. The Joint Task Force-6 (JTF-6) program was established in 1989 under an initiative by the Secretary of Defense, who also directed key commanders within the Armed Services to develop plans outlining their methods of helping to reduce the illegal flow of drugs into the U.S. Any law enforcement agency (LEA) in the southwest, including the Border Patrol of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, can request assistance from JTF-6. Support can be provided in many forms, including, but not limited to, data analysis and processing, interpretation of aerial photographs, conduct of ground patrols, design and installation of fitness/training courses, and providing personnel for listening or observation posts. Engineering support includes repairing or constructing of border roads and fences; demolishing tunnels and buildings; constructing firing ranges, boat ramps, shooting houses, helipads, and communication towers; and providing lighting at ports of entry. Policy and coordination for the southwest border team flow from the Office of National Drug Control Policy in Washington, District of Columbia, to the Southwest Border Joint Command Group, which is composed of representatives of the major LEAs in the border states. In fiscal 1993, 485 JTF-6 operations were conducted in the southwest. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the program would be continued for another five years. Under a modified program alternative, only operational or support services (with no engineering support) would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continuation of JTF-6 program would facilitate the LEAs in their mission. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Program continuation would have unavoidable adverse impacts on wildlife populations and on vegetative communities that have encroached within road and fence rights-of-way.

Preparation date: August 12, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ANACOSTIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND MONTGOMERY AND PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTIES, MARYLAND. AN - 36404302; 4736 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to restore fish and wildlife habitat in the Anacostia River and its tributaries is proposed. The river basin is a 170-square-mile sub-basin of the Potomac River. The headwaters originate in the piedmont and coastal plain areas of Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Maryland, and the river joins the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. Prior to urbanization, the Anacostia River basin contained extensive tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, but wetlands area has been reduced from roughly 2,600 acres to less than 100 today. Fish population in the river has declined in recent years as a result of poor water quality, inadequately controlled stormwater runoff, channelization, and barriers to fish migration. Under the recommended plan, implementation would provide for the construction of 80 acres of tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, the restoration of five miles of piedmont streams, and the planting of 33 acres of bottomland hardwood forest. Roughly 604 fish and wildlife units would be restored annually over a 50-year period. These activities would occur within three independent political jurisdictions. Within the District of Columbia, 75 acres of freshwater tidal wetlands would be restored, and six acres in the vicinity of Kingman Lake would be reforested. Within Prince George's County, two acres of wetlands would be constructed, some 8,000 feet of stream would be restored, and 16 acres of riparian area would be reforested. Within Montgomery County, three existing stormwater management ponds would be retrofitted, two stormwater management wetlands would be constructed, and 17,000 feet of stream would be restored. The estimated project costs within each jurisdiction are $9.3 million, $3.3 million, and $6.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would restore fish and wildlife habitat for significant resources in the Anacostia River basin. The environmental restoration would enhance the aesthetic value of the river basin, the commercial value of residential property near the river, and the recreational uses of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and restoration activities would temporarily increase runoff; some cultural resources would be adversely affected by the Paint Branch stream restoration.

Preparation date: August 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FEDERAL AID PRIMARY ROUTE 340, INTERSTATE ROUTE 55 TO INTERSTATE ROUTE 80; COOK, DUPAGE, AND WILL COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 15225530; 4707 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.5-mile, north-south, multilane, divided highway linking Interstate 55 (I-55) to I-80 near Chicago, Illinois, is proposed. The highway, to be known as Federal Aid Primary Route 340, would pass through Cook, DuPage, and Will counties, 25 miles southwest of the downtown Chicago area. The major areas of controversy concern the location of interchanges and the protection of the north bluff area of the Des Plaines River Valley, which includes a creek, a nature preserve, and two forest preserves. Numerous alternatives evaluated in the early stages of the project were found to be inadequate; these include a No Action Alternative, the Transportation System Management Alternative, Mass Transit Alternative, an upgrade of the existing highway, and an expressway build alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be a freeway with interchanges at I-80, U.S. Route 6, Illinois Route 7 (159th Street), 143rd Street/Illinois Route 171 (Archer Avenue, 127th Street, and I-55. Densely populated subdivisions would be avoided, and sufficient right-of- way would be acquired to allow local agencies to construct a bikeway outside of access control and right-of-way limits. Under current plans, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority would construct and finance the freeway as a toll facility. Additional properties threatened by the development would include the Lustron House, an architecturally significant building on 135th Street, a recreational trail following the Des Plaines River, and a canal that runs parallel to the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would ease suburban traffic congestion by improving the fragmented highway network. Ending the project at I-80 would provide access to the major east-west route serving southern communities such as New Lenox and Joliet. It would result in reduced travel time and distances, energy savings, and reduced emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 38 residences, 3 businesses, one structure eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and 8.9 acres of wetlands. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect several locations along the project.

Preparation date: August 8, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COLUMBIA RIVER SYSTEM OPERATION REVIEW. AN - 36408299; 4741 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a system operating strategy and a regional forum for the Columbia River System to allow interested parties other than federal agencies a role in making decisions involving power distribution and allocation within the region is proposed. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) markets power generated from 12 hydro projects operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and 2 projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. This programmatic review was initiated in response to demands by Indian tribes and fish and wildlife agencies for consultation on matters involving system planning and operations; another factor was the recent designation of the Snake River sockeye salmon as an endangered species and the chinook salmon as a threatened species. Seven operational alternatives are considered in this draft EIS in response to the salmon stocks issue: (1) operations prior to the Endangered Species Act designation; (2) current system operations, including efforts to provide additional anadromous fish flows; (3) flow augmentation to improve the chances of fish survival; (4) management of water levels at upstream storage projects to keep the reservoirs as full as possible for as long as possible; (5) drawdown of the reservoirs at the four projects on the lower Snake River to near ""natural river'' elevations in order to increase the velocity of water through the reservoir; (6) a less extensive drawdown of the reservoirs along the lower Snake River; and (7) setting fish flow targets based on storage content and other factors. Seven alternative methods of broadening public involvement in major decisions are also considered. Additional issues examined in this draft EIS are the need to renew or change current Canadian Entitlement Allocation Agreements, and to renegotiate and renew the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: This programmatic review is an effort to develop comprehensive, multipurpose management of the Columbia River System, a management method that would be responsive to public concerns as well as to the demands for energy production and natural resources protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Introducing flow improvements to benefit migrating anadromous fish would diminish the effectiveness of the system for traditional river uses. Flow augmentation measures would require storing water in the winter, a time when it would ordinarily be used to generate electricity. A loss in power- generating efficiency would increase the costs of meeting electrical demand. Keeping upstream storage sites as full as possible would detract from downstream sites, which are popular with recreationists. Reservoir drawdowns would have adverse impacts on resident fish, disrupting their habitat, spawning, and food supply; drawdowns would also reduce the amount of water available for irrigation.

Stress normalization allows a variable geotechnical property to be reduced to an equivalent value at a standard confining stress. A new concept, the Stress Focus, was identified which provides a basis for understanding soil strength as a function of confining stress. This study demonstrated that sand friction angles for different initial relative densities converge to a Stress Focus at high confining stress (approximately 100 atm), where the strength behavior is similar to that of a sedimentary rock. Dilation of dense sands decreases with increased confining stress until the Stress Focus is reached, as confirmed using historic high pressure triaxial test data as well with CPT measurements from laboratory chamber tests and uniform soil layers. The paths of convergence to the Stress Focus are exponentially related to confining stress and are the basis for development of CPT cone and sleeve friction resistance normalization techniques. The overburden stress at the Stress Focus is soil type dependent. The stress exponent for SPT normalization was shown to be equal to the CPT derived stress exponent. CPT correlations to geotechnical properties were established using both CPT cone resistance and friction ratio.

The HEC-RAS River Analysis System is intended to be the successor to the current steady-flow HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles Program as well as provide unsteady flow, sediment transport, and hydraulic design capabilities in the future. A common data representation of a river network is used by all modeling methods, thus allowing the user to more easily migrate from steady-flow to other one-dimensional flow calculations. The HEC-RAS program provides a steady-flow model with several significant advances over HEC-2. An overview of the Version 1 program and some of the improved hydraulic features are presented.

AN - 36404434; 4658 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new hydroelectric project with an estimated installed capacity of 150 megawatts for the Clavey River near Sonora in Tuolumne County, California, is proposed. The project area is a relatively undeveloped watershed in the central Sierra Nevada foothills and yellow pine belt transition zone extending west into the Central Valley of California. Generation facilities would be located on lands managed by the Forest Service (FS), and the transmission line would extend across private property and lands managed by the FS and the Bureau of Land Management. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (license denial), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would consist of a roller-compacted concrete dam 1,765 feet long and 413 feet high, creating a 114,000 acre-feet reservoir; two diversion structures, ten feet high, on Hull and Reed Creeks; a drop inlet structure on Bera Creek with 6,220 feet of pipeline to convey water to the reservoir; a pressurized underground tunnel, 58,432 feet long and 12 feet in diameter; an underground powerhouse containing two turbine generating units; a horseshoe-shaped tailrace tunnel from the powerhouse to the reregulation reservoir; a concrete gravity dam, 105 feet high and 350 feet long, creating a reregulating reservoir occupying 13 acres; a powerhouse access tunnel containing three 230-kilovolt power cables; a 1.5-acre outdoor switchyard; a 230-kilovolt overhead transmission line, 50.8 miles long; 6 miles of new access road and 27 miles of widened or surfaced existing roadway; two tunnel waste disposal sites occupying 46 acres; and various fish and wildlife mitigation features and public outdoor recreation facilities. The project would be constructed by the Turlock Irrigation District and Tuolumne County. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would have a beneficial economic impact on the local area, reducing unemployment and increasing personal income. It would also help to meet power demand in a region whose population is expected to grow 1.5 percent annually. The project would lessen regional reliance on oil and natural gas consumption. It would generate power equivalent to either 618,800 barrels of oil or 3,766 million cubic feet of natural gas annually. Improved access to the river and the development of the reservoir would increase recreational uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would temporarily increase emissions of particulates and ozone precursors in a nonattainment area. The project would result in the introduction of non-native fish and invertebrates to the Clavey River, conflicting with the river's designation as a Wild Trout Stream. Fish upstream movements would be blocked and fish habitat unavoidably altered by dam construction. Filling the storage reservoir would displace 600 acres of mature Sierran mixed conifer forest and result in the loss of a sensitive species of plant known as mountain lady's slipper. The spotted owl, pileated woodpecker, and other endangered species would be displaced.

AN - 36394934; 4660 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,150-megawatt (MW) power station by Tampa Electric Company, an investor-owned utility that serves more than 467,000 customers in west-central Florida, on a 4,348- acre site in Polk County, Florida, is proposed. The site is located approximately 17 miles south of the city of Lakeland, 11 miles south of Mulberry, and 13 miles southwest of Bartow on land that has been previously disturbed by mining activities. At full build-out, the power station would consist of two combined-cycle generating units, six combustion-turbine generating units, and one integrated-gasification, combined-cycle generating unit that would be capable of firing either coal-derived gas produced on- site or low-sulfur fuel oil. The project would include on-site material handling and storage facilities for fuel oil, coal, and the byproducts of coal gasification and syngas treatment; water supply and wastewater treatment systems; solid waste disposal areas; a cooling reservoir; a substation; and storm water facilities. Plant facilities would occupy 150 acres, or less than 4 percent of the site, and other occupied areas would occupy roughly 158 acres; the cooling reservoir would occupy roughly 860 acres; and remainder of the site would be set aside for pastureland, forest, and brushland. Water to supply the reservoir would be supplied by pumping groundwater from the Floridan aquifer at an average annual rate of five million gallons per day. Surface water discharges from the reservoir would be routed to the reclaimed lake on the eastern edge of the site and then off-site to the Little Payne Creek system. The on-site industrial wastewater treatment system would be designed to collect and treat wastewater, storm water runoff, and washdown from the materials storage areas. Construction would be occur in three phases, and full build-out is scheduled for 2010. Under the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) preferred alternative, an NPDES permit with conditions, pending the successful completion of the EIS process would be issued. [The Department of Energy (DOE) has adopted the EPA's final EIS filed on June 3, 1994. The DOE was a cooperating agency for the above EIS. Recirculation of the document is not necessary under Section 1506.3(c) of the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide the applicant with the resources to meet the projected demand for electric power within its service area. The project would also benefit the local economy; at full build-out, the plant would employ 210 persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the reservoir would result in the loss of 253 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Clearing of vegetation from the power block area and the transmission line corridor would displace resident wildlife.

Preparation date: July 29, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MON/FAYETTE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT, FROM I-68 IN MONONGAHELA COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA, TO SR 6119 (FORMERLY THE CHADVILLE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT) IN FAYETTE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36407538; 4716 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access toll highway from I-68 in Morgantown, West Virginia, to Route 43 in Fairchance in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. The 12-mile project is part of the Mon/Fayette Transportation Improvements program designed to upgrade the highway system linking Pittsburgh and Morgantown and thereby support local and regional economic redevelopment. In addition to a No Action Alternative, two build alternatives, designated the Red and Blue alternatives, are considered in this final EIS; under both build alternatives, a four-lane highway would be constructed along a new alignment. The facility under each of the build alternatives has an optional alignment. Under the build alternatives, it would be built on a common alignment in both the southern and northern sections of the study area. In the southern section, the facility under the Red and Blue alternatives would be built on a common optional alignment that was developed in order to minimize impacts to historic properties. The primary variance of the facility under the Red and Blue Alternatives would take place in the middle section of the study area, in which under the Red Alternative the facility would follow an alignment west of Route 857 in the valley's farmland, while under the Blue Alternative it would be on Chestnut Ridge east of Route 857. The fundamental difference of the facility under these alternatives is illustrated by this middle section, where under the Red Alternative it would primarily affect farm operations and under the Blue Alternative it would primarily affect natural resources. Because of its proximity to Route 119, the facility under the Red Alternative would draw more traffic from Route 119 and better serve the capacity and safety needs of the project. The Red Alternative R2 has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would relieve capacity problems, improve traffic safety along existing Routes 857 and 119, and create the transportation infrastructure needed to support economic development in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the Red Alternative R2 would displace 23 residences and three businesses, and adversely affect seven historic properties, approximately 141 acres of productive farmland, and 24 acres of wetlands, and 1,671 wildlife habitat units.

AN - 36399390; 4715 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of NC 24 between I-95 and I-40 in Cumberland, Sampson, and Duplin counties, North Carolina, is proposed. The proposed project, which would be 38 to 40 miles in length, would involve the construction of a four-lane, controlled access freeway on new location to connect the existing four-lane section of NC 24 2.8 miles east of I-95 with I-40 south of its interchange with existing NC 24. The existing NC 24 is the major east-west highway in the study area, and it serves as a military transport route connecting Fayetteville and Jacksonville. Two primary build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the northern alternative, the facility would commence at the end of the existing four-lane section of NC 24 and proceed to a point 1.1 miles north of Stedman; it would then continue eastward to pass 1.4 miles northeast of Autryville and 3.5 miles north of Roseboro. Between Roseboro and Clinton, the route would cross existing NC 24, passing from north to south of this highway 5.3 miles west of Clinton. The alignment would then curve to the southeast of Clinton, 1.5 miles from its downtown area, and would then continue eastward to pass 2.4 miles south of Turkey. It would terminate at I-40, 2.5 miles southeast of the existing interchange with NC 24. Under the southern alternative, the facility would begin at the same point as under the northern alternative, then extend to the east to a point 0.3 miles north of Stedman. It would then continue eastward to pass 0.8 miles northeast of Autryville and 1.2 miles north of Roseboro. Between Roseboro and Clinton, it would cross existing NC 24, passing from north to south of this highway 6.8 miles west of Clinton. The alignment would then proceed south of Clinton, 4.9 miles from the downtown area, and continue eastward to pass 3.4 miles south of Turkey. It would terminate at the same location as the northern alternative. Five alternative crossover patterns connecting the two alternatives are also under consideration POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway improvement would save travel time for commercial, commuter, and military traffic; would reduce the number of accidents; and would stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed construction would displace or adversely affect up to 108 residences, 4 businesses, 702 acres of agricultural/cleared land, 8 potentially significant archaeological sites, 10 known cemeteries, and 584 acres of upland forests, and 105 acres of wetlands. Up to 49 receptors would experience significant increases in noise, 10 floodplains would be encroached, and 49 streams would be crossed.

AN - 36395384; 4705 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 12-mile segment of US 95 in Bonner County, Idaho, is proposed. US 95, which extends from Canada to the Mexican border near Yuma, Arizona, is Idaho's major north-south highway. The project area is located 62 miles south of the Canadian border near the town of Sandpoint; the area lies at the foot of the Selkirk Mountains and is bisected by Pend Oreille Lake/River complex. Traffic along US 95 is currently operating at a level of service rating of F within Sandpoint and a level of E outside of town. Traffic problems result from a heavy volume of truck traffic, inadequately designed intersections, 90-degree turning requirements, and poor traffic flow structures within the town. Two build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the Through Town Alternative, improvement would involve reconstructing 10 miles of highway on existing alignment, upgrading the existing two-lane highway to four or five lanes, depending on the approach requirements; widening Long Bridge from two to four lanes, and providing a bicycle/pedestrian path; and implementing curve reductions and other street improvements along a one-mile stretch of the north and southbound routes in town. Under the Sand Creek Two-Lane Alternative, improvements would involve the construction of 9.3 miles of four-lane highway on existing alignment, and two miles of a proposed new alignment adjacent to Sand Creek and the Burlington Northern Railroad depot. This interchange/bridge structure would be 2,850 feet long and two lanes wide. Under this alternative, Long Bridge would be widened from two to four lanes. The estimated costs under the two build alternatives are $35.5 million and $39.4 million, respectively. The benefit-cost ratios for the two alternatives are 19.3 and 11.8. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed highway improvements, the level of service rating for US 95 should improve to a rating of C within the project area. The facility would be able to accommodate both through and local traffic. The improvement would reduce the risk of accidents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the Through Town Alternative, historic resources and hazardous materials sites could be adversely affected. The level of service for the greatest number of vehicles would improve but a non-stop facility would not be provided for through traffic. Under the Sand Creek Alternative, the historic railroad depot, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, would be displaced. The Sand Creek structure would create a visual obtrusion as it passes along the banks of the creek between the central business district and the city beach. Under this alternative, local traffic volumes would not be effectively accommodated, and traffic congestion in Sandpoint would further deteriorate.

Sampling crews had noted the purge water in well 4-8 changed color after the first well volume was removed. A field sampling program was conducted to collect samples from each well as the wells were purged. Point source bailer samples were taken at the top, middle, and bottom of the water column in each well before and after each well was purged. The point source bailer samples showed the explosive analytes concentrations decreased from the top to the bottom of the water columns with the pre-purge samples being up to an order of magnitude higher than the post-purge samples. The explosive analytes concentrations in the purge water dropped one to two orders of magnitude or below detection limit after one well volume was removed. The chemical data indicate that the explosive contaminants are leaking into the wells through the well casing at or near the top of the water column in each well.

This magnetic anomaly is generally coincident with the Omaha Oil Field in northwest Gallatin County, Illinois. It was initially assumed that cultural sources of steel associated with this oil field were the primary source of the magnetic feature; however, similar oil fields overflown by the survey do not exhibit magnetic anomalies in the data set. The Luther Rister et ux well, drilled near the apex of the Omaha structural dome, encountered two zones of ultramafic intrusive rock containing 9.0 percent by volume magnetite. These intrusives were identified to be alnoites which are a class of mantle-derived ultramafic rock that can be associated with the incipient stages of crustal rifting.A ground magnetic survey verified the presence of the anomaly, and provided detailed data for 3-D modeling of the source. Petrophysical evaluations, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thin section modal analysis were made on drill cuttings from the ultramafic intrusives encountered in the Luther Rister well. These measurements were made to constrain the 3-D magnetic modeling by the petrophysical characteristics of the source.After removal of the regional magnetic field, the resulting 140 nT residual magnetic anomaly was successfully modeled using two ultramafic sills with an igneous feeder plug. The two igneous sills adequately account for the structural closure exhibited in the Omaha Oil Field and raise the interesting possibility of other hydrocarbon trapping structures generated by intrusives emplaced into the sedimentary section.

AN - 15223465; 4602 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway, including a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; the two build alternatives each have three subalternatives. Under the proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in Saint Louis County; proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in Saint Charles County; and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Under the preferred alternative (the Red Alignment), the facility would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also cross the southern portion of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. This draft supplement to the final EIS of November 1992 considers the environmental effects of converting 184 acres of heavily-wooded parkland to highway use, and considers four alternative tracts of land to be offered as replacement property. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic-flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on Route 40/61, and I-70 and I-270. The development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the alignments, induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The public parkland would be adversely altered by the highway construction. The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

Preparation date: June 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 64/PITTSBORO BYPASS FROM SR 1514 TO US 64 NEAR B. EVERETT JORDAN LAKE, CHATHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15222013; 4609 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of existing US 64 from two to four lanes in the east-west traffic corridor through northeastern Chatham County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project would extend approximately 3.2 miles from the existing four-lane section west of B. Everett Jordan Lake to the Haw River. The project would also include the construction of a northern bypass of the town of Pittsboro west of the Haw River. Additional widening of the existing US 64 from the bypass terminus west of Pittsboro to the project limits at Manco Dairy Road (State Route (SR) 1514) would also be included in the project. The bypass would be a four-lane, divided highway on new location with full control of access, although some at-grade intersections would be provided initially, with provisions for the eventual construction of interchanges. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2A), the facility would be approximately 12.5 miles in length. The alignment would diverge from US 64 at SR 1564, approximately 3.3 miles west of the Pittsboro town center, and loop north, crossing US 15-501 2.0 miles north of the town center. The alignment would then turn southeast and east, rejoining US 64 approximately 4.2 miles east of the town center, near the Haw River. Existing US 64 would be widened from this point to the four-lane section at Jordan Lake. The estimated total cost under the preferred alternative is $47.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would complete a highway planned as part of the North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program since 1986. Regional travel from western North Carolina through Lexington, Asheboro, Pittsboro, and Raleigh to the North Carolina coast would be improved significantly. Economic development efforts in the southern Piedmont would be furthered. Through traffic would be removed from local arterials in the town of Pittsboro, removing heavy truck traffic from the central business district and historic center of the town. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 13 residences and 1 business, as well as 262.6 acres of upland forest and 4.9 acres of wetlands. Traffic-generated noise would result in noise level increases of 15 decibels on the A-weighted scale for three sensitive receptors, and federal noise standards would be exceeded at two locations. The project would traverse 24 streams, requiring 12 major drainage structures, and encroach on two floodplains. One historic site, one archaeological site, and portions of public recreational land west of Jordan Lake would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: June 28, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OAKLAND OUTER AND INNER HARBORS DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT II TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS OF SEPTEMBER 1979 AND NOVEMBER 1984). AN - 15223684; 4629 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening and widening of the existing Oakland Harbor channels in the Port of Oakland, California, are proposed. The port lies on the east side of San Francisco Bay, near the western terminus of major rail and highway networks. Approximately 3.4 miles of the Outer Harbor and 4.0 miles of the Inner Harbor would be dredged. As originally authorized, disposal of the dredged material was planned for a site near Alcatraz Island, but those plans were abandoned in response to public concern about the impact on Bay resources, the mounding of previously disposed materials at Alcatraz, and recent regulations limiting the volume of materials that could be disposed near Alcatraz. This second final supplement to the final EISs of September 1979 and November 1984 considers 12 alternatives for disposing of roughly 6.6 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged channel bottom, berth bottom, and bank sediments; and a No Action Alternative. Under each of the disposal alternatives, two or more disposal sites would be utilized. Under the recommended plan (Alternative B2), the project would utilize three or four disposal sites: the Ocean Section 102 site offshore of the Farallon Islands, Sonoma Baylands in Sonoma County, Galbraith Golf Course in Alameda County, and, if it were required, sediment drying at the Ninth Avenue Marine Terminal located on Port property, with ultimate disposal at the landfill. Under this alternative, some 2.9 mcy would be disposed at the ocean, 2.5 mcy would be disposed at Sonoma Baylands, up to 1.2 mcy would be disposed at Galbraith, and a small portion would be disposed at the Port/Landfill site if it were necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the channels would eliminate tidal delays for 75 percent of all container vessels projected to be in service by 1996. As a result, waterborne transportation costs associated with the port would decline significantly. Widening of the channel would reduce the risk of navigational accidents. Commercial shipping through the harbor would increase. Under the preferred alternative for disposal, wetlands restoration would be included, resulting in a substantial increase in wetlands of national importance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deeper channels would trap more sediment, increasing the cost of maintenance. Widening of the channels would subject undisturbed benthic habitat to periodic disturbance. Dredging activities would create turbidity, temporarily lowering ambient water quality and possibly disturbing slightly the foraging habits of a nearby colony of the California least tern, an endangered species. Dredging and transport equipment would contribute to the degradation of air quality in the region. The Galbraith disposal site would lose up to 3.7 acres of seasonal freshwater marsh and some tidal wetlands; in addition, groundwater quality would decline as a result of the lateral migration of existing leachate fluids containing petroleum products. The Sonoma Baylands would lose 56.3 acres of seasonal freshwater and brackish wetlands, and sensitive bird species nesting in the salt marsh along San Pablo Bay would be disturbed.

AN - 36394979; 4632 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of historic hydrological conditions and maintenance of flood control measures are proposed for the Canal 111 (C-111) basin in southeastern Dade County, Florida. The project is part of the comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project; the C-111 project, which is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park (ENP), has been part of the regional flood control system since it was authorized in 1962. The ecosystem in Taylor Slough and the eastern panhandle of the ENP, areas that were adversely affected by drainage activities associated with the flood control project in the C-111 basin, would be restored. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under all of the action alternatives, water deliveries to the ENP would be made into the C-111 basin only during drought conditions when canal levels drop 1.5 feet below the optimum levels. Restoring water flows to Taylor Slough would require maintenance of normal day-to-day discharges and water levels in the proper locations, with the proper timing. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6A), a detention/retention zone would be used for temporary storage of excess flood water before discharge into Taylor Slough. Four pump stations would pump water into the detention/retention zone using lined canals. A battery of culverts and an overflow spillway would be constructed along the western levee of the detention/retention strip. Additional features under the preferred plan would include the construction or modification of nine canals, the construction of two tieback levees and five pump stations, replacement of the existing bridge over Taylor Slough within the ENP, and the acquisition of over 11,866 acres of land, including Frog Pond and Rocky Glades. The goal under the preferred alternative would be to provide a five- to seven-month hydroperiod when water would cover the land surface to depths ranging from 2 to 20 inches and seldom drop as much as 29 to 30 inches below ground surface. The estimated cost is $121.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation under the preferred alternative would help to restore natural historic water levels and healthy marsh conditions along the ENP boundary, leading to increased overland sheet flows to the lower portions of Taylor Slough. About 397 square miles of Everglades habitat would be provided with longer hydroperiods at beneficial depths, and a 100 percent improvement over base conditions would be produced. The newly acquired lands would be taken out of agricultural production, thereby reducing the runoff of agricultural chemicals into the waters of ENP. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Four residences would be displaced under the preferred alternative. Tree islands or oak hammocks in the area could contain archaeological resources that would be damaged by changes in water levels.

Preparation date: June 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEWPORT-HIGHWAY 63: US 67 (NEWPORT TO WALNUT RIDGE/HOXIE); JACKSON, LAWRENCE, CRAIGHEAD, AND POINSETT COUNTIES, ARKANSAS. AN - 15222179; 4597 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway in Jackson, Lawrence, Craighead, and Poinsett counties in northeastern Arkansas is proposed. The project would extend north to south approximately 32 to 37 miles, connecting Newport and Walnut Ridge/Hoxie and providing an improved route to Jonesboro. It would upgrade a portion of US 67, which extends from a point near the Texas/Mexico border to Little Rock, Arkansas, then to St. Louis, Missouri, and ultimately to Clinton, Iowa. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would use the existing US 67 corridor, and five new-location alternatives (Alternatives 1-5), are considered in this final EIS. All new alignments would begin northeast of Newport at State Highway (SH) 18, would take a northeastern route roughly parallel to US 67, and would end at the Walnut Ridge/Hoxie bypass (US 63). Under all of the action alternatives, SH 226 would be upgraded to a four-lane, undivided facility between the selected alternative for US 67 and US 63 in Jonesboro; this connector to Jonesboro would have a right-of-way width of 175 feet and a total length of 15 to 27 miles, depending on which main-line alignment was selected. The right-of-way of the main-line highway would be 300 feet wide, with two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction separated by a variable-width median. The Jonesboro connector would have a 175-foot-wide right-of-way and four 12-foot travel lanes with a painted median. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), the facility would be 35 miles long, with four interchanges; two optional alignments along SH 226 are under consideration for the Jonesboro connection. The estimated construction and rights-of-way cost under the preferred alternative is $170 million to $179 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, traffic congestion along the existing US 67 would be relieved; economic development in northeastern Arkansas would be enhanced; and commerce and travel among Newport, Walnut Ridge, and Jonesboro would be improved. Furthermore, the new route would improve the transportation link between Little Rock and St. Louis. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 21 residences, 10 businesses, 1 nonprofit service, and 36.5 acres of wetlands. Noise levels would increase substantially in selected areas; up to 317 sensitive receptors would be adversely impacted. Approximately 1,578 acres of prime farmland would be converted to highway rights-of-way.

Preparation date: June 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NAVIGATION STUDY FOR FORT PIERCE HARBOR, SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA (GENERAL REEVALUATION REPORT AND SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1986). AN - 15225433; 4631 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing federal project at Fort Pierce Harbor in Florida is proposed. The city of Fort Pierce is located on the lower east coast of Florida, approximately 120 miles north of Miami and 225 miles south of Jacksonville. The harbor itself is situated on the Indian River within the city of Fort Pierce, and access to the ocean is provided via a man-made cut through the barrier island. The existing federal project, completed in 1938, consists of an entrance channel, an interior channel, a turning basin, two protective jetties, and berthing areas. Existing port facilities are used primarily for shipments of citrus, cement, and argonite. At its present depth, the existing channel requires shipments in shallow- to moderate-draft vessels and cannot support larger deep-draft vessels. A final EIS on a proposal to dredge the channel and turning basin was issued in June 1986. However, when state environmental agencies conducted field reconnaissance of the project area in April 1991, a dive survey uncovered a diverse underwater biological community on the rock ledges on the sides of the existing channel and at the edges of the turning basin. A November 1992 draft supplement to the final EIS evaluated the original proposal, a modified version of that proposal (the Modified Plan Alternative), and a No Action Alternative, and their effects on these biological resources. This revised draft supplement considers some additional changes to the modified proposal in order to reduce environmental impacts. Under this revised proposal, the channel would be dredged to the same depth and width as in the original proposal: the interior channel would have a design depth of 28 feet and a bottom width of 250 feet, and would extend out to a 30-foot-deep, 450-foot-wide entrance channel. The turning basin would be 28 feet deep and have a diameter of 1,100 feet, with a 28-foot-deep, 250-foot-wide spur channel extending to the north end. The original proposal has been realigned so that it would minimize adverse impacts by trimming the turning basin to the south and deleting corner wideners, and by centering the entrance channel on the existing channel and shifting the transition zone seaward. Dredged material would be placed in an existing borrow hole in the Indian River to raise the bathymetry to natural depths. Some 1.1 million cubic yards (cy) of material would be dredged under the original proposal and 815,000 cy under the revised proposal. Approximately 319,000 cy of material would be disposed in the ocean and 217,000 cy in the Causeway Island borrow hole under the revised proposal, in contrast to 992,000 cy intended for ocean disposal under the original proposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to shippers and would attract new exporting and importing businesses, which would stimulate the local economy. Under the revised proposal, only one acre of rock/ledge habitat would be altered; while under the original proposal, some 11.7 acres would be altered. Some 5,900 linear feet of beach would be restored to sea turtle nesting habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly dredged channel would accelerate beach erosion and increase the volume of material trapped in offshore sandbars, but these effects would be partially offset by the placement of dredged sand on adjacent beaches. Dredged sediments could bury nearby biological communities; toxic contaminants present in the sediments could enter the food chain and become concentrated in large predators. Some phases of the operation could also adversely affect resident populations of manatees and sea turtles. In addition, some 13.3 acres of rocky channel-edge habitat and 12.7 acres of productive shallow-water habitat for invertebrates, crustaceans, and fish would be lost.

Preparation date: June 9, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MD 140 (WESTMINSTER BYPASS) FROM HUGHES SHOP ROAD TO REESE ROAD, CARROLL COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36382803; 4599 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Maryland 140 (MD 140) in Carroll County, Maryland, is proposed. MD 140 is an important east-west roadway running from US 15 near the Pennsylvania state line north of Emittsburg to Baltimore City. It carries considerable interstate traffic between Pennsylvania and the Baltimore-Washington area, and also connects points within Carroll County such as Emittsburg and Taneytown to Westminster, the county seat. The improvements to MD 140 would occur in and around the city of Westminster. MD 140 was built in 1952 as a bypass around Westminster, but because of extensive industrial and commercial developments with direct access to the roadway, it has lost its function as a bypass. With no control of access, it currently functions as a city street with heavy volumes of local traffic mixing with through traffic. Eight alternatives, including a No- Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the existing road segment would be approximately 6 miles long, the northern bypass would be 8 to 10 miles long, and the southern bypass would be 10 miles long. Four plans for upgrading and improving the existing highway, two northern bypasses, and one southern bypass are also under consideration. The estimated costs of the project range from $8.8 million to $234.3 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would address the capacity and safety concerns in and around Westminster. They would reduce traffic congestion and the number of accidents on a heavily traveled portion of MD 140. The number of fatal accidents within the project area exceeds the statewide average for highways of that type. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the proposed action would displace up to 35 residences and 13 businesses. The bypass routes would displace up to 12.2 acres of wetlands and 133 forested acres. Under all of the build alternatives, improvements would require the acquisition of property from sites eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places: up to four properties per alternative would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: June 7, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 610 FROM I-94 IN MAPLE GROVE TO TH 252 IN BROOKLYN PARK, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1982). AN - 36400711; 4601 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new ten--mile, trunk highway connecting Interstate 94 (I-94) in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and TH 252 in Brooklyn Park is proposed. The project area is located in the northwestern suburbs of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The highway, to be known as TH 610, would be a four-lane, east-west freeway with grade-separated interchanges located approximately one mile apart. In addition to the regional access interchanges at I-94, TH 169, and TH 252, three local access interchanges would be provided in Maple Grove and three in Brooklyn Park. The construction of this segment of TH 610 was proposed in a draft EIS of April 1981 as part of a larger highway construction program; however, the final EIS of August 1982 covered only those segments of the program for which funding was available. Those segments included TH 610 from TH 252 to TH 10 in Coon Rapids, and TH 252 from I-94 in Brooklyn Center to TH 610 in Brooklyn Park; both segments were constructed and opened to traffic in the fall of 1987. Since that time, additional funds have become available to construct the remaining segment of TH 610 from I-94 to TH 252. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS of August 1992. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), some transportation system management components, such as high-occupancy-vehicle lanes, two park-and-ride lots, and a third lot that is under consideration, would be included. The estimated construction cost of the project is $123 million; the estimated costs of rights-of-way acquisitions are $30 million. This final supplement to the final EIS is issued in abbreviated format and contains corrections and revision to the draft supplement as well as public comment and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the new facility would be a substantial addition to the transportation network in the metropolitan area. It would stimulate business and employment growth in the corridor and relieve existing and projected traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the construction would displace 28 residences and three businesses; encroach upon 35 acres of wetlands and 75 acre-feet of floodplain; and result in the loss of 59 acres of prime farmland. Portions of the alignment would traverse developed areas; up to 783 parcels would be out of compliance with federal nighttime noise standards, and up to 230 parcels would be out of compliance with daylight standards. These adverse effects would be lessened considerably if 20-foot-high noise walls were constructed near the adversely affected areas. A historic farmhouse eligible for listing in the national register of historic places would be removed to allow for construction of the Zachary Lane interchange with TH 610. Furthermore, approximately four undeveloped acres of the Elm Creek Park Reserve would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36395134; 4608 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Fairfield Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) bridge in Hyde County, North Carolina, is proposed. The bridge is authorized for replacement because of the unsafe operating conditions associated with its structural deterioration and narrow roadway, traffic delays, and high operation and maintenance costs. The bridge crosses the AIWW at mile 113.8 and is located approximately 3.7 miles north of the city of Fairfield, on the coastal plain approximately 40 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 20 miles from Pamlico Sound. The bridge is part of State Route 94, which runs from US Route (US) 264 near New Holland to US 64 in Columbia, North Carolina. The existing structure, built in 1935, is a 200-foot-long, steel, through-truss, swing bridge having a 20-foot, two-lane roadway. The overhead clearance in 13.5 feet for highway traffic and the horizontal navigation clearance is 78 feet with a vertical clearance of 9.8 feet when closed. Current design standards require a 24-foot roadway, a vertical roadway clearance of 16 feet, and a minimum design load of 36 tons per vehicle. Focal issues include land use/cover, wetlands, wildlife habitat, aquatic resources, cultural resources, visual quality and recreational resources, socioeconomic impacts, hazardous/toxic and radioactive waste, flood plains, prime and unique farmlands, and endangered species. The replacement bridge would be a high-level, fixed-span, two-lane bridge providing a Coast Guard-required, minimum-horizontal-navigational clearance of 90 feet and a minimum vertical clearance of 65 feet over the AIWW. Three alignment alternatives for the replacement bridge and two borrow/disposal site alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alignment alternative, the bridge would be located approximately 215 feet west of the existing bridge with about 2,594 feet of new roadway and 3,714 feet of bridge. Under the preferred site alternative, the borrow/disposal areas would be north and south of the AIWW. A No Action Alternative was believed not to be reasonable and was dropped from further consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacement of the structure under any alignment would be less expensive than the annual maintenance costs for the existing structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 4.4 acres of wetlands would be permanently affected. About 10 acres would be adversely affected by borrow/disposal operations. The existing bridge is eligible for the National Registry of Historic Places; construction of the new bridge would necessitate its removal. The new bridge would dominate views along the waterway. Development for the bridge foundation in the base floodplain is unavoidable.

Thin-layer disposal of dredged material has been proposed to maintain and restore wetland areas. Transport of this material into wetlands areas is problematic due to the sensitivity of the wetland environment. Hovercraft transport and distribution of dredged material has been proposed as an environmentally acceptable alternative to conventional transport methods. The objective of this study was preliminary evaluation of technical and economic feasibility of the use of hovercraft for dredged material transport and distribution in wetlands. Comparison was made to conventional transport alternatives.

The "hardness" of the particles collected at several test, training and maneuver areas is examined and scaled to known natural materials and commercial abrasives. The geometric diameters of the soil grains that enter and imbed in the fibers are primary factors for understanding the abrasion mechanism. In the case of cordage abrasion, the fraction of soil grains less than 0.2 mm was dominant within the strands and among the fibers. The particles were applied to designated surface grids on relatively large (3 x 3 to 7 x 7 cm) Mohs hardness specimens, glass photographic plates and steel cutting tools. All of the fine particles abraded glass photographic plates, with the exception of a soft, nonmagnetic, black fraction found in Camp Blanding fines. None of the materials scratched corundum, although it was possible to make a few scratches in Topaz with almost all specimens. The general upper limit of hardness was similar to that of quartz, which showed some detectable abrasion by five specimens. Fines from the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, area easily scratched quartz, and this material is the hardest measured to date. JF - Special Report - Corps of Engineers, U. S.

The grid generator requires no user intervention and can handle multiple component systems. The routine is well suited to dynamic situations experiencing large geometrical change such as in solidification or ground freezing processes. Additionally, the system has the option to output its results in a 2D Groundwater Modeling System format and a 3D extruded prism layer compatible with the GMS interface and the Waterways Experimental Station's 3DFEMFAT finite element code for flow and contaminant transport in saturated and unsaturated soils. A uniform equilateral triangular grid overlays the physical domain. Increased resolution can be specified in areas of interest or in areas undergoing large geometrical change such as occurs during solidification. All elements exterior to the physical domain are eliminated. The elements closest to physical boundaries are adjusted to conform to the physical shape, and a smoothing operator is employed to assimilate these adjustments. Interior boundaries of multiple component systems are retained. This mesh generation strategy virtually eliminates user interaction which reduces the actual time required for solution substantially. The adaptive finite element mesh generator was applied to an illustrative subsurface soil situation. Therein, the multiple levels of resolution are presented as well as the various output formats.

AN - 36408053; 4600 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of TH 14/52 through the city of Rochester, Minnesota, is proposed. The project would extend from Olmstead CSAH 14 (75th Street NW) to TH 63 (Broadway), a distance of approximately 10 miles. The roadway passes through the western portion of the city of Rochester. North of 55th Street NW, the project area is primarily rural. The major changes to the roadway would occur between 41st Street NW and 16th Street SW, which is considered the core area of the project. The project would improve the existing four-lane highway in order to provide two through lanes in each direction and to provide room in the median for future transportation use. The project would also involve upgrading the interchange of TH 14 West and TH 52, the interchange of 19th Street NW and TH 52, the interchange of 2nd Street SW/6th Street SW and TH 14/52, the improvement of several other exit and exit ramps on TH 14/52, and the reconstruction of some of the existing frontage road system. The project would also include facilities to accommodate bicyclist and pedestrian needs in the corridor. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives differ from one another by the traffic patterns established along frontage roads. Under Alternative 1, one-way frontage roads would be provided from 41st Street NW to 6th Street SW. Under Alternative 2, two-way frontage roads would be provided from 37th Street NW to 19th Street NW and one-way frontage roads from 19th Street NW to 6th Street SW. Under Alternative 3, two-way frontage roads would be provided between 37th Street NW and 7th Street NW and one-way frontage roads between 2nd Street SW and 6th Street SW. Three optional configurations for the intersection of 19th Street and TH 14 West are also under consideration. Estimated construction costs range from $61.2 million to $80.6 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacement of deficient pavement and bridges would improve traffic safety and efficiency along the corridor. The frontage road system, which is confusing to drivers because of the mixture of one-way and two-way frontage roads, and several intersections with capacity deficiencies, would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the proposed action would displace up to 93 residences and 45 businesses. Under the alternative of one-way frontage road with crossings at 26th Street NW and 14th Street NW, some increase in traffic on residential streets would occur.

AN - 36401026; 4638 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Barney Reservoir, an existing 200-acre reservoir on the Middle Fork North Fork Trask River in the Oregon Coast Range, is proposed. The reservoir serves as the municipal water supply for the cities of Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Beaverton, and several smaller communities in service areas of the Joint Water Commission and Tualatin Valley Water District. The reservoir is located approximately 36 miles southwest of Portland and 13 miles west of Yamhill, in southwest Washington County, Oregon. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the existing 72-foot earthfill Trask Dam would be raised by 50 feet, thereby increasing the water storage capacity of Barney Reservoir from 4,000 to 20,000 acre-feet. The dam would be constructed of rockfill with an earthfill core. After the dam is raised, the maximum reservoir pool would increase from 200 to 450 acres. Project construction would include establishing borrow areas, relocating North Fork Trask Road, constructing temporary access roads, establishing temporary and permanent materials stockpiling and storage areas, and developing construction staging areas, a rock processing plant, settling ponds, sediment control structures and laydown areas. The project would include a logging plan to selectively log up to 275 acres of timber around the reservoir's perimeter and at other impact areas. The logging would salvage the economic value of the wood products, improve the reservoir holding capacity, and provide water quality protection. The logging plan would require the construction of temporary roads, leaving some trees for habitat purposes, removing vegetation, and controlled burning activities. Construction of the dam and related facilities would take place over two years. Under the other action alternative, the earthfill core would be replaced with a facing consisting of roller-compacted concrete on the upstream side of the rockfill. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $20.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would allow for needed water supplies to meet increasing demands in the fastest growing county in Oregon. Fish habitat in the reservoir would more than double because of the increase in surface area. Expansion of the reservoir would provide more flexible flow releases to the Trask River over time and increase summer flow releases in the Tualatin River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the dam would adversely alter site topography, induce erosion, and result in the loss of 51 acres of wetlands and up to 359 acres of wildlife habitat. This loss of habitat could adversely affect elk, mallard, song sparrows, yellow warblers, and a threatened plant, the Nelson's checkermallow. A historic trail could also be adversely affected by the project.

This request was for assistance in determining the potential benefits of alternative flood control measures in the upper Midwest. In particular, it was asked that the study look at depressional pothole storage, on-stream wetlands, and alternative land management practices for the Boone River basin in northern Iowa. The goal was to evaluate these items effects on flood peaks and flooding in the basin. The results of the study are only representative of the Boone River basin; the level of rigor was not enough to draw specific conclusions. However, the results may be useful as a basis for more thorough work in the future. JF - Project Reports.

AN - 36408511; 4630 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to restore fish and wildlife habitat in the Anacostia River and its tributaries is proposed. The river basin is a 170-square-mile sub-basin of the Potomac River. The headwaters originate in the piedmont and coastal plain areas of Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Maryland, and the river joins the Potomac River in Washington, District of Columbia. Prior to urbanization, the Anacostia River basin contained extensive tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, but wetlands area has been reduced from roughly 2,600 acres to less than 100 today. Fish population in the river has declined in recent years as a result of poor water quality, inadequately controlled stormwater runoff, channelization, and barriers to fish migration. Under the recommended plan, implementation would provide for the construction of 80 acres of tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, the restoration of five miles of piedmont streams, and the planting of 33 acres of bottomland hardwood forest. Roughly 604 fish and wildlife units would be restored over a 50-year period. These activities would occur within three independent political jurisdictions. Within the District of Columbia, 75 acres of freshwater tidal wetlands would be restored, and six acres in the vicinity of Kingman Lake would be reforested. Within Prince George's County, two acres of wetlands would be constructed, 8,000 feet of stream would be restored, and 16 acres of riparian area would be reforested. Within Montgomery County, three existing stormwater management ponds would be retrofitted, two new stormwater management wetlands would be constructed, and 17,000 feet of stream would be restored. The estimated project costs within each jurisdiction are $9.3 million, $3.3 million, and $6.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, fish and wildlife habitat for significant resources in the Anacostia River basin would be restored. The environmental restoration would enhance the aesthetic value of the river basin, the commercial value of residential property near the river, and the recreational uses of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and restoration activities would temporarily increase runoff; some cultural resources would be adversely affected by the Paint Branch stream restoration.

AN - 36413624; 4620 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a thoroughbred racing park on approximately 165 acres in Auburn, Washington, is proposed by the Northwest Racing Associates. The facility would replace the former Longacres Park in Renton, Washington, which was purchased by the Boeing Company in 1990 and closed to horse racing in 1992. The applicant would construct a racetrack similar to the Longacres facility, which was built in the 1930s before the enactment of current environmental regulations. The facility would require the deposition of 80,000 cubic yards of fill in 17.1 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands and 0.3 acres of scrub-shrub wetland. It would include a six-level, partially-enclosed, approximately 240,000-square-foot grandstand designed to seat 6,500 people; parking for approximately 5,100 vehicles; a 90-foot-wide, one-mile oval dirt racetrack with provision for a future seven-eighth-mile, 80-foot wide turf /training course inside the main oval; and approximately 1,400 horse stalls, 150 seasonal dormitory rooms for 300 grooms and backstretch personnel, and other accessory structures. Live thoroughbred racing would occur 125 days between April 1 and October 1. The facility would be designed to accommodate 7,500 people on average, and a peak capacity of 17,300; it is expected to open in 1996. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would replace a facility that was just recently closed. It would also stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Roughly 91.5 acres would be covered with an impervious surface and nearly impervious material; as a result, surface water runoff would increase and the amount of rainwater infiltration would decrease. Downstream drainage systems would flood if they were not properly mitigated. Approximately 85 acres of vegetation would be cleared. In addition, wetlands would be lost and the visual character of the site would be permanently altered. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CUMULATIVE IMPACTS OF RECREATIONAL BOATING ON THE FOX RIVER AND CHAIN-OF-LAKES AREA, LAKE AND MCHENRY COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 15224143; 4633 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan in order to regulate boating activity on the Fox River and Chain o' Lakes system in Lake and McHenry Counties in northern Illinois is proposed. The project area extends from the Wisconsin-Illinois border to Route 62 at the Algonquin Dam, encompassing the immediate vicinities of Channel Lake, Catherine Lake, Lake Marie, Bluff Lake, Petite Lake, Grass Lake, Fox Lake, Nippersink Lake, Pistakee Lake, several islands, numerous interconnecting channels, and portions of the Fox River. For many years the area has been a popular recreational site for Chicago residents, and boating activity has recently increased dramatically. During the scoping process, the following problems were associated with the high levels of boating activity: water quality degradation, loss of wetlands, degradation of remaining wetlands, recreational boating conflicts, boating safety issues, substantial sedimentation, dredging needs in the lake and channel areas, difficulties in locating or permitting disposal areas for dredged materials, shoreline erosion, failures in seawall and shoreline protection, excessive boat noise, economic development, flooding, and controversy over the amount and timing of water drawdown on the lakes. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 2), there would be no net gain in the total number of existing boat docks, slips, ramps, or launches; no additional facilities would be permitted unless similar facilities were removed from the system. Public and multiuser dock systems as well as marinas would not be approved for construction unless existing boat slips providing dockage of the same size and an equivalent number of boats were removed from the system. Exceptions would be made for docks/slips added to an existing single-family waterfront residence; such single-family permits are currently covered under Corps of Engineers regional permits. Maintenance dredging of previously dredged channels and lake areas would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, regulatory authority would be consolidated under a single agency. Currently several local, state, and federal agencies operate under various legal authorities within selected jurisdictions in the area. The plan would improve public safety while minimizing environmental damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Because boating activity would continue at its current level, it would continue to have some adverse impacts on wetlands, fish and wildlife, water quality, shoreline conditions, and other natural resources.

Preparation date: May 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH TONGUE POINT LAND EXCHANGE AND MARINE INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CLATSOP COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 15224087; 4586 AB - PURPOSE: The conveyance of approximately 130 acres of upland and submerged lands administered by the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) at South Tongue Point near Astoria, Oregon, to the Oregon Division of State Lands (Division) in exchange for state-owned islands within the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge administrative boundary is proposed. The General Services Administration would convey the South Tongue Point land to the Division, receive the islands from the Division, and in turn convey the islands to the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The Division is proposing to develop a multitenant marine industrial park on the property conveyed to it. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), the land exchange would proceed as described above. The existing Corps Astoria Field Station would remain on South Tongue Point. Development of the marine industrial park would proceed in two phases: (1) development of site infrastructure and construction of marine industrial facilities beginning in 1993, with the Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station becoming the first tenant. Four development areas are proposed for the site, including the Corps Astoria Field Station; these areas total about 66 acres, and include natural vegetation areas to be retained and buffer areas. The site would be partially cleared, grubbed, and contoured above the 100-year floodplain elevation to accommodate permanent structures or outdoor storage. Site infrastructure construction would include a new intersection at US 30, with turn lanes and a new access road to the central part of the site; an on-site local service road; a 12-inch-diameter water main extending from the Astoria municipal system; sanitary sewer service; electric, telephone, cable, and natural gas utility distribution lines; street lighting at the new US 30 intersection, the new access road, and the service road; and wetland fill for the access and service roads, and additional fill to create a uniform upland boundary. Barge construction and berthing facilities would be among the water-dependent use facilities developed in the marine industrial park. Manufacturing, storage, distribution, and service facilities would be among the nonwater-dependent use facilities planned for the northwest portion of the park, which would be served by a railroad spur line. The Navy facility site would include a pile-supported berthing pier and associated facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Through the conveyance of the state-owned islands, the FWS would be provided with the necessary control and management flexibility to maximize the protection of migratory fish and wildlife and to enhance wildlife habitats within the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge. The development of the marine industrial park would create real property assets and associated income for the Common School Fund of the state of Oregon, and encourage new industrial employment within the South Tongue Point area, in accordance with state and local plans to initiate economic development projects in Clatsop County. Beneficial impacts to the groundwater quality of the South Tongue Point area would result from the discontinuance of the Corps Astoria Field Station septic field and the connection of the facility to the Astoria municipal sewer system. Development of a domestic water supply, utilities, and transportation infrastructure is also proposed for the site area. Piers at the site would create a beneficial environment for fish. Employment increases would range from about 140 jobs during construction in the first year to a constant of 600 jobs by the project lease-out. A total permanent population increase of approximately 1,250 persons would be expected by the project lease-out. State income tax revenues would be approximately $475,000 per year at the time of the project lease-out; Clatsop County property tax revenues would be about $1.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities at the marine industrial park site would result in temporary increases in suspended sediments, disturbance to aquatic species, and intermittent noise over a period of seven years. Upland vegetation losses would total 62.7 acres, and wetland losses would total 0.57 acres. Bald eagle forage areas would be disturbed on approximately 63 acres of the industrial park area, and on an undetermined amount of land on North Tongue Point should that area undergo increased residential development as a result of increased employment in the region. During operation of the site, adverse impacts to water quality could occur as a result of storm runoff, maintenance dredging, and tenants' accidental spills.

AN - 15220267; 4637 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of Wilmington Harbor in New Hanover and Brunswick counties, North Carolina, is proposed. Wilmington Harbor is a federal navigation project located along the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear rivers in southeastern North Carolina. The project area extends approximately 31 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean to the Port of Wilmington. The existing harbor channel, which is 400 feet wide and 38 feet deep, is generally satisfactory for one-way traffic; however, delays often occur because no passing lane exists and today's deep-draft vessels exceed the design criteria of the channel. In addition, river pilots have identified five turns and bends where maneuvering problems occur and improvements are needed. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the selected plan, the existing navigation channel would be widened to 600 feet over a 6.2-mile reach of Wilmington Harbor. In addition, the five difficult turns would be widened by 150 to 200 feet each. The additional width of the passing lanes and the improved turns would be dredged to the existing channel depth of 38 feet, with one foot of required overdepth and one foot of allowable overdepth also being dredged (for a total depth of 40 feet). The turn improvements would be made by using a pipeline dredge, which involves dredging with a cutterhead and pumping the dredged material to a diked disposal area. Bucket and barge dredging would be used to build and maintain the passing lane. The material dredged from the passing lane would be disposed of at the designated offshore disposal site located three nautical miles south of the mouth of Cape Fear River. Approximately 4.08 million cubic yards of material would be dredged from the passing lanes and the turns. Maintenance dredging would be conducted at intervals of two to four years. Total estimated project costs are $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel widening would allow for the passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays and the operating costs of shippers. The modification of the harbor would make it more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for the area. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.5. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the estuarine bottom would be converted to a channel, temporary increases in turbidity would occur, and the shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species, could be adversely affected, as a result of the blasting necessary for rock removal; blasting techniques and timing would be designed to minimize the possibility of adverse impacts to the shortnose sturgeon and to other fishery resources. The grading and diking process would result in the loss of 6.3 acres of high marsh and 0.5 acres of intertidal marsh, although these losses would be offset by the creation of new wetlands.

AN - 36393142; 4612 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 from just west of Abbotsford, Wisconsin, to just west of Marathon City is proposed. The 25-mile project would extend from Division Avenue, which is located three miles west of Abbotsford, to Martin Lane, which is located three miles west of Marathon City. The westerly three miles of the project, from Division Avenue to STH 13 in Abbotsford, would be in Clark County, and the remaining 22 miles, from STH 13 in Abbotsford to Martin Lane, would be in Marathon County. The existing two-lane roadway would be upgraded to a four-lane, divided highway. The highway would be constructed as a rural-type facility with two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot median. The median area would include inside shoulders and a V-sloped grassed area, which would serve as a safety zone and provide drainage. The roadway would have ten-foot outside shoulders and six-foot median shoulders. The roadway pavement would be concrete over an open-graded base course. Drainage facilities would include open ditches, culverts, and structures. Four main alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS, along with several combinations of alignments, bypasses, and interchanges. Under the preferred alternative (the Build on Alignment with a South Bypass Alternative), two new lanes would be constructed parallel to the existing roadway, with a southern bypass around Abbotsford. The bypass, which would be the only section of the highway to deviate from the existing alignment, would begin in the vicinity of Badger Avenue west of the city and continue southeasterly to intersect with STH 13 about one mile south of the existing STH 29/13 intersection. It would then proceed northeasterly and intersect with the existing alignment near Maple Road. Grade-separated interchanges would be constructed at STH 29's intersections with STH 13, STH 97, and County Trunk Highway H. The highway's existing at-grade intersections with all of the remaining county trunk highways would be improved. Town roads that would have access to STH 29 terminated would be Popple, Gierl, Butternut, Corlad, Aspen, and Weinkauf roads. The remaining town road intersections would be reconstructed as at-grade intersections with right- and left-turn lanes on STH 29. Most existing driveways and field access points would also be connected to the new highway. Depending upon the build alternative selected, rights-of-way acquisitions would involve 502 to 510 acres, and total construction costs would be $60 million to $62 million. This final EIS includes corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comment and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: STH 29 is the principal east-west route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Interstate 94 and Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, to the west with Green Bay and Fox River Valley to the east. High traffic volumes, including a high volume of trucks, combined with many local and private access points create a high risk of severe accidents and a low level of service, which would be exacerbated by the forecast escalation in traffic volume. Reconstruction of this segment of STH 29 would provide an uninterrupted and safer 55-mile-per-hour facility between key highways and would reduce traffic delays. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, strip purchases along wetlands and agricultural lands would be required. The project would involve rights-of-way acquisitions of up to 338 acres of farmland, up to 95 acres of wetlands, and up to 51 acres of woodland; 14 stream crossings; and the relocation of up to 49 residences and 20 businesses. Noise levels for some residences and farms would exceed federal noise standards, and sound barriers would be too expensive to be practical.

Preparation date: May 5, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 522, SR 2 TO SR 9, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36408145; 4611 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of State Route (SR) 522 to a four-lane, divided, full-access-control freeway between SR 9 near Woodinville and SR 2 in Monroe, Washington, is proposed. Improvement of this section of SR 522 is needed primarily because of a high incidence of accidents, which is attributed to high traffic volumes, a separate directional split, and limited sight distance for passing. Continued residential and business growth along SR 522 in this still predominantly rural area, and the use of SR 522 as a primary access road from the Seattle area to SR 2, is lowering the level of service on the roadway, while the frequency and severity of accidents are increasing. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under all of the build alternatives, the capacity of SR 522 would be expanded by widening approximately 10.6 miles of the highway to four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, with two ten-foot-wide outside shoulders and two four-foot-wide inside shoulders, plus a 40-foot-wide grass median. Between SR 9 and Paradise Lake Road, the facility would have a 14-foot-wide paved shoulder in the eastbound direction; this shoulder would accommodate slow-moving vehicles. Existing overcrossings at High Bridge Road (Cathcart Road), 164th Street SE, Valley View Road, and SR 2 would be widened. A two-lane, southbound on-ramp would be added west of the junction of SR 522 and the existing SR 2. Under the Snohomish River Bridge options, a second two-lane bridge would be constructed adjacent to the existing SR 522 bridge over the Snohomish River. Under the preferred bridge design option, the new bridge would be constructed on the south side of the existing bridge, would carry eastbound traffic. Under the preferred alternative, a diamond interchange would be constructed at both Paradise Lake Road and Fales Road; these interchanges would replace existing signalized intersections. Paradise Lake Road would cross over SR 522 and the Burlington Northern rail line to the west on bridges and be realigned to connect with Maltby Road and the recently designated SR 524 from the west. Modifications to secondary roads would be made on both the east and west sides of SR 522 to accommodate the new interchange and SR 522 ramp connections. Fales Road would cross over SR 522 on a bridge and be realigned to the east of SR 522 to accommodate the interchange and ramp connections. Secondary roads would be realigned. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, existing hazardous conditions would be remediated and traffic flow would be improved. Commuting times, accidents, and driver stress would be significantly reduced. Air quality would improve from current levels over the long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of, and storm runoff from, the new roadway would cause degradation of water quality in nearby creeks and wetlands. Some existing wetland and wildlife habitat areas would be lost as a result of cut-and-fill activities during construction. While some degradation could occur whether or not improvement were implemented, a slower rate of development would allow more time for changes in policies and technology concerned with controlling water quality and the loss of wetlands and habitat. During construction, there would be short-term adverse impacts on bald eagle wintering sites, anadromous fish spawning areas, and the nesting areas of birds and aquatic mammals. Noise during construction and operation of the new roadway would increase significantly over current levels and approach or exceed federal noise abatement criteria in some areas. Construction of the two interchanges would displace nine residences and two businesses, and require the acquisition of roughly 47 additional acres.

Medium- to fine-grained pyroclastic-flow material of approximately 5.6 billion cubic meters was deposited in the upper watershed areas around Mount Pinatubo. Rainfall-runoff has rapidly eroded eruption material, causing lahars that have flooded low-lying areas. Flooding and sedimentation from Mount Pinatubo lahars have displaced tens of thousands of people from their homes, destroyed bridges and crops, and decreased the amount of land available to agriculture in the lower basin. The purpose of this analysis is to assess the future sedimentation hazards due to continuing erosion of the 1991 pyroclastic deposits around Mount Pinatubo. A sediment yield forecast is presented for each basin containing large amounts of pyroclastic material. The areas most likely to experience sediment deposition were also identified. That information is used throughout this report to determine future damages, plan and design sediment control measures, and to assess the potential benefits (economic and physical) for those control measures.

Many of these structures require, or will require, significant repairs to ensure safe and efficient operations. The Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program was created to identify and develop effective and affordable technology for maintaining and extending the service life of existing Corps Civil Works structures. Modern engineering technology is providing procedures for performing condition surveys, consistent and quantitative condition assessment, and data base management Combined with economic analyses, these procedures afford efficient maintenance and repair (M&R) budget planning through evaluation of the current condition and comparison of various M&R alternatives based on life cycle costs. Collectively these procedures are called the REMR Management Systems.

AN - 36408947; 4512 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new four-lane, limited-access, divided highway to the east of the city of Winchester in Frederick County, Virginia, is proposed. The proposed project would complete a circumferential freeway around Winchester by connecting the northern and southern termini of existing Route 37 west of Winchester with an eastern extension of the existing freeway. The proposal is largely a response to recent and significant increases in population. The project area extends from the existing Route 37 interchange with Interstate 81 (I-81) and US 11 south of town to a point approximately one mile north of the existing Route 37 interchange at US 11 north of town. The project corridor is roughly 0.5 miles wide at the southern end to 2.5 miles at the northern end, where alternative alignments are more diverse. The corridor is approximately 14 miles long and encompasses a total area of 35 square miles. Interchanges and connector routes would be built for US Routes 522 and 17/50, State Route 7, and Secondary Route 657. Existing interchanges of the Route 37 western loop at Route 11 and I-81 would be modified and reconfigured. Nine alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative, a Transportation System Management Alternative, a Mass Transit Alternative, and six build alternatives. Under each of the build alternatives, the facility would begin at the southern terminus located at the intersection of existing Route 37 and I-81, then head east crossing the CSX Railroad, Route 11, and I-81. After crossing I-81, the facility would run parallel to the Opequon Creek, then cross Hoge Run before turning north at Route 522. Heading in a northerly direction, it would cross Buffalo Lick Run, go under Route 645, and cross an unnamed tributary before intersecting with Routes 17 and 50. At this point the facility under the build alternatives would branch off and begin to follow diverse paths depending on the alternative chosen before reaching the northern termini. Estimated total costs for the build alternatives range from $191.3 million to $233.2 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 288 residences, 24 businesses, 4.4 acres of wetlands, 156.4 acres of prime farmland, and 158.9 acres of upland forests. Up to 47 archaeological sites with potential historical significance would be adversely affected; 17 streams would be crossed; and 104 residences would experience increased noise levels.

Preparation date: April 28, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STERLING HIGHWAY MILEPOST 37 TO MILEPOST 60, ALASKA. AN - 36394298; 4497 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 23-mile portion of the Sterling Highway along the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska is proposed. The project area extends from the Skilak Lake Road intersection to the Sterling Highway's junction with the Seward Highway. The project area is in the vicinity of the community of Cooper Landing and partially within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Chugach National Forest. Several popular campgrounds, trails, and recreational sites are in the vicinity. The Sterling Highway is a narrow two-lane road with shoulders only one or two feet wide. The highway is often congested during the summer and accident rates along certain segments are higher than expected. Throughout the project area the highway runs parallel to the Kenai River and its tributaries; highway improvements are hampered by the presence of the river or a creek on one side of the road and steep valley walls on the other. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the 3R Alternative (which is essentially the minimum development alternative), the highway would be improved on its existing alignment. The two-lane highway would generally have a surface width of 36 feet, with two 12-foot lanes and two six-foot shoulders; where needed, a 12-foot passing lane with a four-foot shoulder would be provided. Widening the roadway embankment would require cuts or additional fill along the entire length of the project. Eleven retaining binwalls would be constructed to support erosion-prone slopes; the binwalls would be ten feet tall and range from 100 feet to 0.3 miles in length. One low-speed curve at milepost 47.5 would be improved. Under the other build alternative (the Juneau Creek Alternative), the facility would be fully reconstructed to provide an improved two-lane highway with a surface width of 40 feet, including two eight-foot shoulders and passing lanes as needed. Although cuts or additional fill would be required throughout the project area, binwalls would not be necessary because alignment shifts would remove the highway from those slumpage zones and increase embankment height to contain the erodible slopes. Estimated costs for the 3R Alternative and the Juneau Creek Alternative are $29.8 million and $64.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would enhance safety conditions and alleviate traffic congestion. The widened shoulders would provide for emergency pulloffs. Under both of the build alternatives, long-term siltation into the adjacent wetlands and river would be minimized, and expenses for slope and ditch maintenance would be substantially reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under both of the build alternatives, the reconstruction would result in a loss of fish and wildlife habitat and some disturbance of archaeological resources. In addition, under the 3R Alternative, the reconstruction would result in the loss or displacement of 5 acres of wetlands, 2.4 acres of right-of-way from Cooper Landing, and one residence in Cooper Landing. Under the Juneau Creek Alternative, the reconstruction would result in the loss of 43 acres of wetlands, and 24 acres of right-of-way from the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and 183 acres from the Chugach National Forest; this alignment would also cross the Resurrection Pass Trail.

Preparation date: April 27, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 10, WAUPACA TO FREMONT, WAUPACA COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36411093; 4516 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of 15 miles of US 10 from a two-lane to a four-lane facility in southern Waupaca County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The project would extend from Anderson Road in Waupaca, 0.5 miles west of the State Trunk Highway (STH) 54/49 interchange, to Brown Road, two miles west of the village of Fremont. US 10 is a major east-west link across central Wisconsin serving commuter, commercial, and recreational traffic between the Stevens Point area to the west and the Fox River Valley to the east. Traffic along the project corridor is expected to increase about 50 percent by 2017, resulting in volumes of up to 18,600 vehicles per day. Traffic volumes already exceed safety thresholds for the highway, and accident and fatality rates exceed the statewide average. Several alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed build alternatives, the existing road would be upgraded to a four-lane, divided highway. The facility would differ under each of the alternatives in their stipulations for the following: the alignment location relative to the existing highway, the presence of a frontage road, the number of points accessible to US 10, and the number of residences and farms affected by rights-of-way acquisition. The existing US 10 would be incorporated along most of the project corridor, either as two lanes of the new four-lane facility or as a frontage road adjacent to the four-lane facility for local access. Exceptions to this incorporation would occur along a 1.5-mile section at the proposed interchange with County Trunk Highway (CTH) X at Weyauwega and along a one-mile section at the proposed interchange with STH 49; in these areas the proposed alignment would be constructed at a new location. All driving lanes would be 12 feet wide, and the highway would be divided by a 60-foot median throughout most of the project corridor to provide an adequate and safe separation of opposing directions of traffic, adequate drainage, storage for vehicles (including trucks and school buses) at crossroad intersections, and storage for farm machinery in median openings. Between Anderson Road and CTH A, however, the median would be 30 feet wide. New interchanges are proposed for CTH X, STH 110, and STH 49. In general, existing access to US 10, including local roads, field entrances, and driveways, would be consolidated to control direct at-grade connections to the upgraded highway. At the eastern terminus of the project, the four-lane cross section would narrow to meet the existing two-lane cross section near Brown Road. Improvements to the existing road such as resurfacing, rehabilitation, or shoulder restoration would be accomplished within the existing highway right-of-way. Total estimated construction costs are $44.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, through traffic would be allowed to operate at or near the 55-mph speed limit under peak traffic volume conditions; accidents would be reduced; and the need to convert the facility to freeway standards in the foreseeable future would be precluded. The highway improvement would also result in an increase in local business sales, an increase in spendable personal income, the creation of jobs, and a reduction in travel time for local residents. Improved access to recreational and related resources would benefit tourism and increase spending by out-of-state visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 236 acres. Up to 56 acres of wetland and 17 acres of woodland would be required for widening the existing highway and constructing new interchanges. Up to 141 acres of farmland from 32 farming operations would be displaced. The project would require a maximum of 20 residential and 10 business relocations. Other adverse effects would include wildlife habitat loss, potential erosion and sedimentation during construction, the loss of prime soils, the potential discovery of unknown underground storage tanks, adverse noise impacts to adjacent residences, and adverse impacts to the habitat of two state-listed threatened turtle species.

AN - 36403459; 4496 AB - PURPOSE: The drawdown of the Lower Granite Reservoir located along the Snake River near Almota, Washington, is proposed in order to obtain data on the biological response of anadromous fish to such a drawdown. The purpose of the drawdown is to determine whether increased mean water velocity through the reservoir resulting from a drawdown would increase juvenile salmonid survival and decrease travel time. In addition, data would be collected on the effects of drawdown on upstream passage of adult salmon, resident fish, wildlife, bottom-dwelling organisms, and water quality. These data will supplement data collected under baseline conditions and during a 1992 drawdown test. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS; the action alternatives are differentiated on the basis of the juvenile collection and bypass method to be used at the powerhouse. Under the preferred alternative (Option 3A), a drawdown test would be implemented at the reservoir during the spring migration period (April 10 to June 20) of 1996. The dam would be operated to maximize flows through the powerhouse; a new gatewell tank system would be used to bypass fish entering the powerhouse. No water would be voluntarily spilled for fish. Any untagged juvenile fish would be transported or bypassed back to the river in accordance with current policy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would maintain adult passage, control dissolved gas, and provide for collection of tagged salmonids at Lower Granite. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased spill discharge would cause higher than normal levels of dissolved gas, silt, and water temperature. Sediment levels downstream from the dam would increase as would erosion along the riverbank. The drawdown would disturb reproductive efforts of all fish species, destroying eggs and disrupting egg development. Boating activity would be eliminated or severely restricted during drawdown.

Preparation date: April 13, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HOBUCKEN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BRIDGE, PAMLICO COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15223573; 4508 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Hobucken Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) bridge in Pamlico County, North Carolina, is proposed. The existing bridge crosses the AIWW at mile 157.2 and is located on North Carolina Highway (NC) 33/304, approximately 32 miles northeast of the city of New Bern. The existing bridge has an average utilization of 1,200 vehicles per day. The proposed replacement bridge would be a 2,540-foot, two-lane, high-level, fixed-span structure with a 65-foot vertical clearance and a 300-foot horizontal navigational clearance over the AIWW. The proposed alignment would leave NC 304 at a point approximately 2,700 feet west of the AIWW, cross the AIWW approximately 170 feet north of the existing bridge, and reconnect with NC 33/304 approximately 2,600 feet east of the AIWW. Fill height at the bridge abutments would be approximately 30 feet on the west side and 30 feet on the east side of the AIWW, with a width of approximately 220 feet. Fill width would taper as the alignment approaches NC 33/304. A total of 28 bridge piers and footings would be constructed on land. Rights-of-way widths would vary from 360 feet at the highest point of the approach fills to 140 feet at the connections with NC 304 and NC 33/304. Additional rights-of-way would be required for two-lane connector roads at each end of the alignment. A borrow site close to the highway would include a borrow pit and an area used for drying material and placing overburden material that is unsuitable for fill. Construction is expected to commence in December 1994, and would take 2.5 years to complete. Construction costs are estimated to be $10.4 million. [The Department of Transportation, Coast Guard (DOT/CG) has adopted the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers' (DA/COE's) final EIS EPA #920234 filed June 17, 1992. The DOT/CG was not a cooperating agency in the preparation of DA/COE's original final EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of the one-lane, traffic-light-controlled bridge would allow the flow of traffic to be continuous and would reduce unsafe stops and starts on the roadway. The existing bridge does not meet current design standards as recommended by the American Association of State Highway Officials because of its narrow width and poor physical condition. The proposed new bridge would offer a safer, more direct route for AIWW traffic and greatly reduce traffic lines and associated congestion. The connector roads would facilitate access to the new road and access within the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace one permanent residence, and 13.5 acres of pine forest and 1.5 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub within Goose Creek Game Management lands. In addition, some 7.0 acres of wetlands would be filled to construct the bridge approaches. The high-rise bridge would dominate views of the waterway from south of the site.

AN - 36395128; 4537 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to Louisiana Dredging Company for the dredging of buried shell deposits in selected areas of the nearshore Gulf of Mexico, within three miles of the coast, in Saint Mary and Terrebonne parishes, Louisiana, is proposed. The proposed project area would extend seaward from East Cote Blanche and Atchafalaya bays to the three-mile limit, and be bounded by longitude 91 degrees 20 minutes to the east and longitude 91 degrees 37 minutes to the west. Shells dredged from oyster beds in these waters are used as a construction aggregate for roadbeds, drilling-barge pads, and oyster cultch in poor soil areas found throughout southern Louisiana, and also as a source of calcium carbonate for lime production, chicken feed, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, dredging activity would involve the removal of fossilized reef shells buried beneath the mud line, or bay bottom. The shells would be mined using two cutterhead dredges, which create troughs in the water bottom that average about 300 feet in width and extend to the depth of the reef, generally 17 to 22 feet below the bottom. In operating a dredge, the vessel is positioned over the resource and the swing anchors are set. One spud is set into the bottom. The cutterhead is raised or lowered using the dredge ladder that protrudes from the front of the vessel. The dredge is swung in an arc on the spud so that a path is cut through the buried reef. After the fossil reef is cut, the shell-sediment-water mixture is pumped aboard the dredge and into a hopper where the coarse shell material is captured by flat and drum screens. The shells are then moved by conveyor to the shell barge lashed to the side of the dredging vessel, which transports them ashore. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, construction projects in southern Louisiana would benefit from the positive effects of the action on construction project cost and quality. In addition, shell dredging would generate revenue for the state in the form of royalties and severance taxes. Current shell dredging operations support some 105 jobs in the area, and indirectly support an additional 315 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, dredging would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly increase phytoplankton because of an increase in suspended nutrients. The holes and troughs created by dredging would last for two or three years, depending on the soil type, hydrologic conditions, area river flows, wind and tide actions, currents, and storms.

Preparation date: April 6, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TELLURIDE SKI AREA PROPOSED EXPANSION PROJECT, SAN MIGUEL COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 15220740; 4479 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Telluride Fe Ski Area in the Uncompahgre National Forest in San Miguel County, Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is located directly south of the town of Telluride, Colorado, approximately 330 miles southwest of Denver. Since 1971 it has been operated through a special-use permit issued to the Telluride Company; the ski area encompasses approximately 3,761 acres of national forest land and 326 acres of private land. Under the proposal submitted by the applicant, additional lifts and associated trails would be constructed and additional restaurants would be constructed in order to accommodate an expected increase in demand. The agency preferred alternative (Alternative D) generally resembles the applicant's proposal but minor modifications were made in order to minimize social, physical, and environmental effects. Under the preferred alternative, six new lift pods with associated runs, trails, and gladed areas would be constructed; Lift Number 6 and its trail and run system would be realigned along the upper terminal; four new restaurants would be developed and an existing restaurant would be expanded within the special use permit area; off-season recreational activities would be expanded to provide additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding and continued hang gliding access; and a lodge and series of small cabins would be developed in the Prospect Basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, new and improved ski facilities would be provided, the size and diversity of the existing resort would be increased, summer recreational opportunities would be expanded, and amenities of the overall area would be enhanced. The project would generate considerable revenue and stimulate the local economy; the increase in off-season opportunities would help to stabilize the year-round population and incomes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities would adversely affect 665 acres of common vegetation; reduce cover for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion; and displace 7.6 acres of wetlands. Cleared or graded areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. The potential for avalanches would increase at some sites.

Preparation date: April 6, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 23/I-26 CORRIDOR STUDY, FROM NC 197 15 MILES TO THE NORTH CAROLINA-TENNESSEE STATE LINE, BUNCOMBE AND MADISON COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15221594; 4507 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new four-lane, north-south freeway in Buncombe and Madison counties in western North Carolina is proposed. The proposed roadway, to be known as I-26, would extend for approximately 15 miles from the existing interchange at US 23 and North Carolina (NC) 197 to the North Carolina-Tennessee state line at Sams Gap. US 23 is currently the major north-south arterial roadway in the area, and the proposed project would upgrade the roadway to interstate standards. Truck traffic represents a large percentage of the daily trips on US 23, which provides an important connection between I-40 in Asheville, North Carolina, and I-81 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The steep grades and difficult horizontal alignment of US 23 contribute to hazardous driving conditions and frequent accidents. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Eastern Alternative), the facility would follow the existing US 23 alignment past the four-lane section to north of Jarvis Road and south of Sprinkle Creek Road. It would then turn slightly west and follow south of Sprinkle Creek Road, turning back north to tie into Bear Creek Road just west of the existing US 23. From Little Creek, it would parallel the existing US 23 to the west, and continue north to Sams Gap. Interchanges would be built at four locations: Adkins Branch Road, NC 213, US 19, and Bear Creek Road. Under the Western Alternative, the facility would curve to the northwest near the eastern city limits of Mars Hill, and then follow a northwesterly route until it rejoined the alignment under the Eastern Alternative just south of Laurel Creek. Under the Combined Alternative, the facility would follow the alignment under the Eastern Alternative throughout most of its 17-mile length, but would also follow the alignment under the Western Alternative for several miles. The total construction and right-of-way costs under the preferred alternative would be $222.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would establish a major new north-south route through the region; provide a safer, interstate-quality road north from Asheville; and complete the interstate highway corridor link between Charleston, South Carolina, and Cincinnati, Ohio. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 29 residences, 4 commercial establishments, 2 churches, 3 cemeteries, and 3.8 acres of wetlands. In addition, the construction would involve 11 hydrologic crossings, which would require nine box culverts and two bridge structures. Approximately 30 residences would experience an increase in noise levels from traffic. Four sites potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places could be adversely affected by the proposed project.

This is accomplished by establishing the environment of deposition from stratigraphic information and by assuming the sand body width is the same as the meander belt width. The meander belt width was calculated from sand thickness, once the sand body is encountered. Spacing for additional boring locations is determined from the sand body width and the probability of additional boring(s) intersecting the sand body. Once a sufficient number of borings are available, such as from site boundaries, the sand thickness is estimated for the site by the statistical method of kriging. Kriging gives the errors for the estimates. These errors are used in combination with the spacing determined from the probability of other boring(s) intersecting the sand body to select a new boring location. The additional boring location(s) are selected in areas with the most error at the determined spacing. Conceptual model, Site characterization, Geology, Geostatistics.

The hangar was destroyed as part of base renovation during the buildup to World War II, and its exact location is unknown. The purpose of the investigation is to confirm the exact location of the hangar and to locate any buried artifacts from the Wright Brothers occupation of the site. Ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic, and magnetic surveys were conducted over a 68- by 100-m area that is approximately centered on the suspected location of the hangar. Localized anomalies as well as areal anomalies are identified in the geophysical data. Rectangular anomalous areas are identified that are generally consisted with the suspected location of the hangar. A 1924 aerial photograph showing the hangar was digitally scanned and georeferenced to the site survey area. While two of the rectangular geophysical anomalous areas are consistent with the hangar location from the aerial photograph location, a rectangular area defined from GPR survey data is immediately adjacent to the aerial photograph location. It is postulated that base engineers may have bulldozed the hangar debris onto an area adjacent to its original location and either burned it there or buried it in a trench. A prioritized exploratory program is proposed for investigating the sources of the geophysical anomalies.

With time the recharge capacities of the wells/trenches progressively decline. Deposition of suspended fines in the recharge water and growth of microorganisms in the aquifer are common causes of this decline. This paper presents an investigation of the relative significance of these two factors under controlled laboratory conditions. Large-scale physical models of recharge trenches were constructed in the laboratory to monitor the decline with time of the recharge capacity under controlled conditions. The physical models consisted of four hydraulically separate cells in which six different experiments were conducted. In three of the experiments microorganisms were added as an inoculant. A nutrient and carbon fine solution was constantly injected into the influent stream entering through the inflow pipe. Both carbon fines and microorganisms caused plugging of the model recharge trenches in the laboratory. However, initially the microbes appeared to have a beneficial effect by hindering the transport of the carbon fines from the gravel pack in the trench. Later the microbes contributed to the plugging of the gravel pack. A significant correlation was determined between the extent of carbon fine deposition and microbial growth. In the experiment using a biodegradable slurry, microbial growth did not affect the recharge capacity of the trench. One laboratory experiment involved the introduction of silt as a source of sediment fines to the model recharge trench. This experiment simulated conditions often found in the field when no carbon fine adsorption system is used and natural surface water is recharged into the aquifer. This research will be useful in understanding the relative importance of factors contributing to the decline of recharge capacity observed in the field.

AN - 36393054; 4540 AB - PURPOSE: The clearing and disposal of polluted sediments from federal navigation channels in Cleveland Harbor in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is proposed. The harbor is located at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River on the south shore of Lake Erie. Currently, approximately 300,000 cubic yards (cy) of material is dredged from the harbor's navigation channel each year. Most of this material is classified as polluted and unsuitable for open-lake discharge. The material is discharged into the Site 14 confined disposal facility (CDF) located adjacent to the east entrance channel of the harbor. Because this CDF is nearly full, a new CDF or alternative measures are needed to keep the channel clear. Seven action alternatives are considered in this final EIS. A No Action Alternative is presented for comparison purposes only. It is not acceptable primarily because of its expected significant economic, social, and environmental ramifications of limited dredging of the harbor. Under the preferred alternative, a new stone rubble-mound, diked CDF, designated as Site 10B, to be located just northwest of and adjacent to the Burke Lakefront Airport, would be constructed and used. The new CDF would be 68 acres in size and have the capacity to hold approximately 3.84 million cy of consolidated dredged material, giving it an effective project life of about 15 years. Six sewer line outflows would be relocated or extended through the site at a cost of $3.98 million; this cost would be borne by local sponsors. The total estimated construction cost of the project is $32.88 million; the estimated benefit-to-cost ratio is 1.78. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development and use of Site 10B would benefit community and regional growth, business and industry, and employment and income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging, the disposal of dredged material, and the construction of the stone dike would result in temporary localized turbidity, the resuspension of sediment in the water column, and the disruption or destruction of benthic and planktonic organisms in the channel and disposal site.

AN - 36404050; 4528 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of housing for military families at Fort McCoy in Monroe County, Wisconsin, is proposed. Fort McCoy is a 60,000-acre Army installation located in the northern part of the county; its primary mission is to provide training and support for reserve and active Army units assigned to the installation. Over 100,000 troops are trained annually at the fort, and that number is expected to increase as a result of recent base closures and realignments. A segmented housing market analysis prepared in 1989 and updated annually has documented a severe shortage of rental housing in the immediate area around the fort. The short-term requirement is for 60 units of family housing; 374 total units would be required over a 20-year period. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, some 374 residences would be constructed in an area southwest of the main cantonment, near the west boundary of the installation. The site consists of 262 acres and is bisected from northeast to southwest by the LaCrosse River. The site is presently undeveloped except for a small inactive arsenal building and firing point. Under Alternative 2, some 374 units would be constructed outside the boundaries of the fort; half of the proposed units would be located in the nearby town of Tomah and the other half would be located in the town of Sparta. Under Alternative 3 (the No Action Alternative), military families would continue to seek housing outside the installation, and many families would continue to live in substandard housing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternatives 1 and 2, the severe shortage of family housing in the Fort McCoy area would be relieved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development in the area chosen under Alternative 1 could adversely affect resident threatened or endangered species, potentially significant archaeological sites, and wetlands near the LaCrosse River. Under Alternative 2, local government spending would be increased as utilities and other services were supplied to the new developments. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 102-190.

Preparation date: March 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GARY MARINA, LAKE COUNTY, INDIANA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1989). AN - 15223376; 4520 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a marina on Lake Michigan in Gary, Indiana, is proposed. The project, to be sponsored by the city of Gary, would be located between the USX (formerly U.S. Steel) breakwater to the west and Marquette Park to the east. The preferred 220-acre site would lie near lands administered by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, which encompasses 14,000 noncontiguous acres. The marina development would ultimately contain 1,300 to 1,400 boat slips, which would be built in phases as demand warrants. Supporting marine services would include diesel and gas fuel facilities, retail sales serving boating activities, boat/motor maintenance and service facilities, dry storage provisions, and public use areas. The marina design would also support nonboating recreational activities; both boating and nonboating activities would be supported by parking facilities, rest rooms, bathhouses, and other services. In addition, the site would support development of associated residential and commercial uses. Development of offshore facilities would involve dredging and filling to create a small boat harbor and sites for land-based facilities and construction of a steel-sheet breakwater. The harbor would have an interior depth of 8 to 10 feet, while the marina entrance would have a depth of 12 feet. The moorage system would be either a fixed-pier or floating dock arrangement. A launching ramp and a service island would also be provided. The marina would be accessed via a new road constructed on the existing roadbed of the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) Railroad. Five alternative alignments for the access route which would minimize impacts to National Park Service property are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of April 1989. Under the proposed action, the access road would involve about 3,100 linear feet of the IHB, or roughly 9.4 acres. The proposed route would follow the IHB corridor from US 12/20 north and east to the NIPSCO transmission line right-of-way. The roadway would then be routed onto USX property, and continue northeast to the west boundary of the national lakeshore. The access route would then turn north, traveling adjacent to, but outside, the National Park Service boundary for the remainder of its distance to the marine site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina development would meet the regional demand for recreational boating and lakefront facilities for public use in Gary. One site would support the development of additional housing and business uses. A new opening to be made in the USX breakwater would enhance water circulation and provide access to a sheltered sedimentary environment for fish. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 13.1 fewer acres of vegetation than the route considered in the draft EIS. It would also avoid adversely affecting the blue lupine, the host plant for the Karner blue butterfly, an endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would result in temporary turbidity and alteration of bottom topography. Some trace metals could be released during construction, but the metals would not be highly soluble. Under the proposed action, the construction of the access route would destroy 4.1 acres of vegetation.

Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project would involve the construction of a roller-compacted concrete dam, 274 feet high measuring 1,600 feet along its crest. The gravity-type structural section would be designed to remain stable against all overturning and sliding forces. The top of the dam would be at an elevation of 1,140 feet, and the spillway crest and normal maximum water surface would be at an elevation of 1,130 feet. The dam would be located approximately 2,400 feet downstream from the existing Los Padres Dam. The surface area of the reservoir would be 266 acres, and the spillway crest elevation would be 1,130 feet. The spillway would be constructed near the center of the dam's outlet works' capacity to pass safely over the dam. The spillway would consist of a 215-foot wide overflow structure and include a stilling basin at the downstream toe of the dam in order to prevent erosion of the river banks. Migrating fish would be accommodated during both upstream and downstream migration. A trap and truck system would be used to pass upstream migrating adult steelhead trout around the dam. Facilities for upstream migration would consist of a fish weir and ladder between the new dam and a trapping and holding facility, and a specially equipped tank truck for hauling. Downstream migration of spent adults and smolts would be accomplished through the use of a screening facility upstream of the reservoir. Permanent all-weather access roads would be constructed for the project, and two bridges would be constructed across the Carmel River and one across Danish Creek. Estimated capital costs of the project are $87.3 million; annual operation and maintenance cost estimates are $1.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a municipal water supply that would meet both the short-term and long-term needs (through the year 2020) of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and afford drought protection. Numerous employment opportunities would be created by the project during its construction period. Fish spawning activity would increase significantly as a result of the project. Destruction of riparian vegetation in the area would decrease due to increased groundwater flows. Cooler river waters during the summer would benefit steelhead trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Creation of the reservoir would require the inundation of a substantial land area, which would destroy vegetation and associated terrestrial habitat. Adversely affected land would include 23 acres within the Ventana Wilderness; the exchange of 140 acres of adjacent land for the wilderness land would be required. Roughly 2.6 acres of wetlands would be inundated or eliminated, and three species of sensitive plants and three populations of sensitive wildlife species would be displaced. The reservoir would inundate or otherwise adversely affect 13 archaeological sites, 5 sites recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as 5 sites culturally important to the Esselen Tribe. Average residential water rates would increase by $7.67 monthly.

Preparation date: March 24, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HILLSBORO CORRIDOR, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36390461; 4509 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the mass transit system connecting Portland and Hillsboro, Oregon, is proposed. Hillsboro is located approximately 6.2 miles west of Portland. The Hillsboro Corridor is bounded on the east by SW 185th Avenue, and extends north past US 26 to the boundary between Washington and Multnomah counties, south past the Tulatin Valley Highway, and west to include Hillsboro and Forest Grove. The corridor is within the urban growth boundary for Portland and includes major residential, commercial, and industrial developments and large tracts of land destined for future development. It contains the Hillsboro business district, the Portland-Hillsboro Airport, the Washington County Fairplex, and several major employers. The corridor also includes the western terminus of the future Westside light rail transit (LRT) line from downtown Portland to SW 185th Avenue. This project has already been approved, and construction of the Westside LRT line begins in 1993. However, because of the recent growth and projected future growth of the Hillsboro Corridor, an extension of the Westside LRT line through the Hillsboro Corridor is now under consideration. Four alternatives for the Hillsboro Corridor extension are considered in this final EIS: a No-Build Alternative, under which the LRT line would terminate at SW 185th Avenue; a Transportation Systems Management Alternative, under which the LRT line would also terminate at SW 185th Avenue, and bus service and traffic control measures along the corridor would be improved; a full-length LRT system alternative, under which the line would extend from SW 185th Avenue to the Hillsboro business district, a distance of 6.2 miles; and a short-terminus LRT system alternative, under which the line would extend from SW 185th Avenue to a proposed terminus at the Washington County Fairplex, a distance of 3.9 miles. The locally preferred alternative, identified following the release of the draft EIS, is the full-length LRT system alternative. Under this alternative, the alignment would run parallel to an abandoned railroad alignment for much of its length. Eight new LRT stations, three new park-and-ride lots, and 1,300 new parking places would be constructed. Approximately six traction power substations would be required. The estimated capital costs of the project are $154.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the rail alternatives, passengers would be provided with through-service to a high-growth area now experiencing severe traffic congestion problems. Use of the system would result in reduced traffic congestion, thereby improving local air quality. Transit ridership within the corridor would increase by 146 percent under the preferred alternative, and the corridor's transit transfer rate would also increase. The project would generate 1,251 direct and 681 indirect person-years of employment; 477 transit jobs would be required once the system was operational. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the rail line would displace six single-family and four multifamily residential units; disrupt neighborhood and local traffic during construction; adversely affect visual aesthetics; and increase noise and vibration along certain track segments. In addition, the project would result in the loss of up to 1.8 acres of wetlands, cross seven streams, add up to 4,600 cubic yards of fill to 100-year floodplain, adversely affect one historic structure, and encroach on archaeologically sensitive areas.

Preparation date: March 24, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF MCCLELLAN AIR FORCE BASE, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406477; 6328 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of McClellan Air Force Base (AFB) in north-central California, is proposed. McClellan AFB, which comprises 3,000 acres, is located in the Sacramento Valley, bounded on the east by the Sierra Nevada and on the west by the Pacific Coast and Diablo range. The base, which was established in 1936 and is scheduled for closure in the year 2001, consists of the main AFB (2,856 acres), Capehart Housing (217 acres), Sacramento River Dock (2 acres), Camp Kohler (35 acres), the Hospital Annex (26 acres), and Davis Global Communications Site (316 acres). All properties would be available for civilian reuse except for some properties that would be retained for military and Federal agency uses: Camp Kohler, the Hospital Annex, 120 acres of the Davis Site, and 39 acres of Capehart Housing. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, a technology center would be established within the industrial core of McClellan AFB with a private airfield to be operated as part of the industrial infrastructure. By the year 2020, the airfield would support 5,050 takeoffs and landings. The center would include a high-technology industrial park with aircraft maintenance and related industrial operations, office and administrative areas, housing and community support, and warehouse and logistics. A golf course would be built on some of the land occupied by Capehart housing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. By the year 2020 the proposed action would support 16,100 direct jobs and 15,900 secondary jobs, representing a net employment increase of 7,600. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction activities would result in short term increases in erosion and water quality impacts; the permanent loss of wetlands, riparian woodlands, and native trees; and the alternation or degradation of the Sacramento Air Depot Historic District.

Preparation date: March 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROJECT NO. F-14-4(104) MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE AT NIOBRARA, KNOX COUNTY, NEBRASKA, AND BON HOMME COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 15220774; 4505 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge over the Missouri River connecting Highway N-12 in Nebraska and Highway SD-37 in South Dakota is proposed. The proposed bridge would provide a two-lane facility between the Niobrara, Nebraska, area and the Running Water and Springfield areas in South Dakota. Currently there is a 70-mile segment of the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota, and Fort Randall Dam near Pickstown, South Dakota, without a river crossing. Ferry service was discontinued in 1984. The proposed bridge would be a two-lane structure with a 36-foot clear roadway and two-lane approach roadways with six foot shoulders. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the alignment would start 1.5 miles east of Niobrara, extend north from N-12, and cross the Missouri River and tie into SD-37 north of Running Water. The bridge would cross the downstream portion of the river segment designated as a recreation river and property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The overall length of the alignment would be 2.5 miles, including 3,100 feet for the bridge itself. Under Alternative 1, the bridge would cross the river at a point near Verdel, Nebraska; under Alternative 3, it would cross a point near Santee, Nebraska, and Springfield, South Dakota. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $15.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Niobrara and Running Water. Currently, travelers starting at Niobrara have to travel approximately 45 miles east to get to Yankton, South Dakota, or 60 miles west to the Fort Randall crossing. By the year 2012, an estimated 330 vehicles would use the new crossing each day. The crossing would improve emergency services in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 13 acres of farmland and 4 acres of wetlands. Construction activity would temporarily disturb wildlife and the local ecology. The new facility would be a visual intrusion in a recognized scenic area. The segment of the river in the study area is part of the Lewis and Clark National Trail; under all three of the build alternatives, the facility would adversely affect one or more historic sites. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would adversely affect a historic ferry landing.

Preparation date: March 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF LORING AIR FORCE BASE, AROOSTOCK COUNTY, MAINE. AN - 36403965; 4457 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Loring Air Force Base (AFB) in Aroostock County, Maine, is proposed. Loring AFB, which comprises 9,035 acres, is located 400 miles north of Boston and 5 miles west and south of the Canadian border at New Brunswick. The AFB consists of the 8,317-acre main base as well as nine off-site parcels totaling 718 acres. As a result of recommendations made by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, the base is scheduled to be closed in September 1994. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, reuse would be comprehensive and include a mixed-use airport with civilian aviation activities, including general aviation, commercial aviation, maintenance, and air cargo components. These aviation uses would require up 1,894 acres of on-site property. Airfield improvements would include the installation of a precision instrument landing system and approach path on Runway 01/19, security fencing, runway and taxiway guidance signs, an airport beacon, and a weather observation station. Aviation support facilities, to be located west and south of the runway, would include the air traffic control tower, fuel system, fire station, hangars, and air cargo, maintenance, commercial aviation, and general aviation buildings. Additional uses of the property would include 597 acres for industrial development; 131 acres for medical, educational, and child care facilities; 194 acres for office and other commercial uses; 598 acres for residential land uses, 1,717 acres for open space and an urban park, and 3,304 acres for agricultural and forestry development. The 596-acre Madawaska Dam site, located off-site, would be set aside as a natural resource conservation area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. Under the proposed action, reuse activities would increase employment levels by approximately 4,461 direct jobs and 3,339 secondary jobs by the year 2014. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, up to 398 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected on the main base and 1,697 acres of farmland would be converted to nonagricultural use. The quantities of hazardous materials used and wastes generated would be greater than under closure conditions. The responsibility for managing hazardous materials and wastes would shift from a single user to multiple, independent users, which could reduce the area's capability of responding to hazardous materials and waste spills and would increase the regulatory burden. Air pollutant emissions would increase, and surface water runoff would result from 572 acres of ground disturbance. The number of people living in areas exposed to surface traffic noise levels of 65 decibels or greater would increase by 749. Development activities could adversely affect historic properties that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: March 18, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST PEARL RIVER NAVIGATION PROJECT, SAINT TAMMANY AND WASHINGTON PARISHES, LOUISIANA, AND PEARL RIVER COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36395099; 4538 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of operation and maintenance measures to restore navigation along portions of the Pearl and West Pearl rivers near the southern Louisiana and Mississippi border is proposed. The West Pearl River Navigation Project, completed in 1956, was designed to provide a minimum depth of seven feet for navigation from the mouth of the West Pearl River to the vicinity of Bogalusa, Louisiana, on the Pearl River. The project was assigned limited-operation status in 1975 because commodity movement had virtually ceased along the waterway; however, economic changes in the area have increased demand for the movement of both raw materials and finished goods, and the Army Corps of Engineers has been attempting to reopen the waterway for the past four years. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), a seven-foot-deep navigation channel would be provided from the mouth of the West Pearl River to river mile 52.2 on the Pearl River. Hydraulic dredging, and possibly sand and gravel mining, would be used. Dredged material would be placed back in the streams against the banks and in 89 acres of overbank confined and unconfined disposal areas. Dredged sediments would nourish sandbars and beaches along the bank at several sites. Additional sandbars and beaches would be intentionally formed. Dredging activity would occur primarily at two or three sites in the vicinity of Lock Number 2 and the Bogue Chitto River junction, a site in the vicinity of Pools Bluff, and from Pools Bluff to river miles 52.2. Estimated implementation costs are $3.7 million, and annual maintenance dredging costs would be $2.5 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 2.0. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in navigation would provide economic benefits to local industries and increase personal and business incomes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, approximately 89 acres of silt loam soils would be covered by coarse sands with some gravel as a result of depositing dredged sediments on overbank areas. Approximately 16 acres of recently cleared lands would be converted to industrial lands during the lifetime of the project. A total of about 65 acres of forestlands would be adversely affected, and wildlife habitat would be degraded in those areas. Turbidity would increase as a result of initial and maintenance dredging and increased commercial traffic; dredging would bury fish eggs and eliminate roughly 89 acres of spawning, nursery, and feeding habitat. Two endangered or threatened species could be adversely affected by maintenance measures.

AN - 36394341; 4501 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane roadway for approximately 11 miles from Trunk Highway (TH) 169/160 west of Mankato to TH 83 southeast of Mankato in southern Minnesota is proposed. Travel demand has increased in the area because of increased enrollment at Mankato State University and the development of two shopping centers south of town. It is therefore anticipated that a four-lane facility would be necessary in the future, except in a segment east of TH 22, where two lanes are considered adequate for future demands. The preferred alternative (the Purple/Blue Hybrid Alternative) considered in this final EIS is a hybrid of two of the three corridor alternatives that were considered in the draft EIS. This corridor would follow the Purple Corridor from TH 169 to just west of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 16, where it would follow the Blue Corridor to the eastern end of the project area at TH 83. It would begin at TH 169 approximately one-quarter mile east of its junction with County Road 117, continuing east for one mile then curving southeast following a natural ravine toward the Blue Earth River intersecting with TWP 190. It would continue east and southeast intersecting with CSAH 16, CSAH 8, and TH 22 crossing the Le Sueur River and intersecting with CSAH 41. It would then continue easterly along CASH 41 to the end of the proposed South Route at TH 83. The roadway initially would be constructed as a two-lane rural highway with ten-foot shoulders, eventually accommodating the four-lane roadway cross-section between TH 169 and TH 22. A separate ten-foot paved trail would also be constructed within the roadway right-of-way. The total estimated costs under the preferred alternative are approximately $15.5 million; although anticipated modifications to the alignment and grade of the roadway during the final design process could change the costs of the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would provide east-west access to various sites south of the city of Mankato and reduce traffic congestion downtown and on north-south roads. In addition, the new roadway would reduce travel time and distance, improve safety and traffic operating conditions, provide long-term energy savings and improved access to job and recreational opportunities, increase property values, and promote economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, rights-of-way requirements would displace five residences. Approximately 322 acres of farmland would be converted directly or indirectly to roadway use, and 2.5 acres of wetland would be adversely affected. Construction of piers in the Blue Earth River channel would be required resulting in temporary construction impacts as well as permanent changes to the river channel. The Le Sueur River crossing would involve 7.88 acres of fill (0.3 acres within the floodplain). Approximately 3.81 acres of wooded area within the floodplain would be adversely affected. For the proposed underpass for the TH 160 interchange, acquisition of 3.25 acres of Minneopa State Park would be required. Noise levels along the roadway would increase substantially and exceed state noise standards, though not in excess of federal standards. Wildlife habitat along the roadway would be disrupted, and special measures would be taken to protect active nests of bank swallows (a protected species) as well as the snow trillium (a plant species of special concern). Preliminary studies identified 22 archaeological sites in the project area; eight of the archaeological sites would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: March 16, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SNOWMASS SKI AREA, ASPEN RANGER DISTRICT, WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST, PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36406501; 4477 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Snowmass Ski Area in the White River National Forest in Pitkin County, Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is operated through a special-use permit issued to the Aspen Skiing Company; the permit area encompasses approximately 5,400 acres. Under the revised management plan proposed by the applicant, existing snowmaking equipment, lifts, trails, and other facilities would be upgraded within the currently developed portion of the permit area (Baldy Mountain). In addition, the upper portion of Burnt Mountain would be developed as a ski area, and a second access/egress portal at the base of the mountain would be added in the future East Village area. A two-stage gondola to carry passengers from the Base Village area to the summit of the mountain, and a 400-vehicle parking lot at the base of the lift, would be constructed. Summer recreational uses would be expanded throughout the permit area, and up to 13 miles of new biking and hiking trails would be constructed. Mountain capacity would be increased by 2,500 skiers-at-one-time. Related to but independent of this proposal is the proposed development by the Snowmass Land Company of the East Village area on private land at the base of Burnt Mountain. Certain facilities associated with that development would be located on national forest land. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), the applicant's proposed action (Alternative G), and the Forest Service's (FS's) preferred alternative (Alternative F), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative F generally resembles the applicant's proposal except that under it, the construction of lifts to Burnt Mountain would be provided in two phases. The FS's preferred alternative would not include a new gondola from the mountain's base as in all of the other action alternatives. A detachable double chair would be constructed immediately in the western pod, while a second double chair could be constructed in five years or more in the eastern pod after further environmental studies were completed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the resort would be able to keep pace with expected recreational demand and to remain competitive within its market area. Under the applicant's proposal, summer recreational activities would be expanded, and ski area use, particularly in the summer, would increase substantially. Considerable revenue would be generated and the local economy would be stimulated. Some 395 construction-related jobs, 176 on-site jobs, and 851 off-site jobs would be created, thereby promoting a more stable local work force. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities, would require the clearing of 450 acres of commercial timber under the applicant's proposal. Some areas would require grading and excavation; as a result of this activity and the removal of vegetation, these areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. Elk and other animals in the project area would lose habitat. Overall biological diversity within the project area and the landscape assessment area would be further reduced by additional development. Up to 9.1 acres of wetlands would be displaced and would therefore require mitigation. The visual character of the landscape would become even more dominated by man-made lines and objects. Water withdrawals from Snowmass Creek for domestic and snowmaking uses could adversely affect the stream ecosystem. Diversion for snowmaking could reduce brook trout spawning habitat by over 25 percent, which is far above the significant threshold used by the Bureau of Reclamation. Noise levels would increase significantly both on-site and off-site during construction and after completion of the project.

Preparation date: March 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OAKLAND HARBOR DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT II TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS OF SEPTEMBER 1979 AND NOVEMBER 1984). AN - 36399427; 4534 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening and widening of the existing Oakland Harbor channels in the Port of Oakland in Alameda County, California, is proposed. The port lies on the east side of San Francisco Bay, near the western terminus of major rail and highway networks. Approximately 3.4 miles of the outer harbor and 4.0 miles of the inner harbor would be dredged. As originally authorized, disposal of the dredged material was planned for a site near Alcatraz Island, but those plans were abandoned in response to public concern about the impact on Bay resources, the mounding of previously disposed materials at Alcatraz, and recent regulations limiting the volume of materials that could be disposed near Alcatraz. This second draft supplement to the final EISs of September 1979 and November 1984 considers 12 alternative plans for disposing of roughly 5.8 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged channel bottom, berth bottom, and bank sediments; a No Action Alternative is also considered. Each disposal alternative is comprised of two or more disposal sites. Under the recommended plan (Alternative B2), three or four disposal sites would be included: the ocean section 102 site offshore of the Farallon Islands, Sonoma Baylands in Sonoma County, Galbraith Golf Course in Alameda County, and, if required, sediment drying at the Ninth Avenue Marine Terminal located on Port property, with ultimate disposal at the landfill. Some 1.8 mcy would be disposed at the ocean, 2.6 mcy would be disposed at Sonoma Baylands, up to 1.3 mcy would be disposed at Galbraith, and up to 100,000 cy would be disposed at the Port/Landfill site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the channels would eliminate tidal delays for 75 percent of all container vessels projected to be in service by 1996. As a result, waterborne transportation costs associated with the port would decline significantly. Widening of the channel would reduce the risk of navigational accidents. Commercial shipping through the harbor would increase. Under the recommended plan, wetland restoration would be maximized. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deeper channels would trap more sediment, increasing the cost of maintenance. Widening of the channels would subject undisturbed benthic habitat to periodic disturbance. Dredging activities would create turbidity, temporarily lowering ambient water quality and possibly disturbing slightly the foraging habits of a nearby colony of the California least tern, an endangered species. Dredging and transport equipment would contribute to the degradation of air quality in the region. The proposed Galbraith disposal site would lose up to 5.2 acres of seasonal freshwater marsh and up to 1 acre of tidal wetland; in addition, groundwater quality would decline as a result of the lateral migration of existing leachate fluids containing petroleum products. The Sonoma Baylands would lose 56.3 acres of seasonal freshwater and brackish wetlands, and sensitive bird species nesting in the salt marsh along San Pablo Bay would be disturbed.

Preparation date: March 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 45 TO US 41 (US 10), WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36410081; 4515 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of US 10 in Winnebago County in northeastern Wisconsin is proposed. US 10 is a major arterial highway that serves the Fox River Valley, including the communities of Appleton, Menasha, Grand Chute, and Greenville. The project area begins at the intersection of the current US 10 and US 45 at Greenville and extends to the intersection of the current US 10 and State Highway (SH) 441 in Appleton, a length of 8.6 miles. This segment of highway has 18 traffic signal installations and roadway widths ranging from 24 to 64 feet. Traffic along the current US 10 is projected to increase 49 to 66 percent by the year 2015, which would result in a volume of 10,700 to 47,850 vehicles per day, depending on which section of the highway is being analyzed. The present volume is a mix of large-truck through-traffic and local traffic, and accident rates along certain sections of the highway are currently well in excess of statewide averages. The project would remove the US 10 designation from a part of the Appleton street system and place this designation onto US 45 in the project area. Nine alternatives were initially considered, but only one relocation alternative (Alternative 3) was brought forward for serious consideration, and it became the preferred alternative. From the intersection of the current US 10 and US 45, this route would proceed southerly approximately 3.8 miles along the current US 45 to a point approximately 0.25 miles north of Fairview Road. From this point, it would proceed easterly on a new alignment approximately 3.3 miles to the intersection of American Drive and the current SH 441. The route would proceed along the current SH 441 to its intersection with the current US 10 in Appleton. The new highway would consist of two 12-foot-wide driving lanes in each direction, separated by a 60-foot-wide median. Local roads would be grade separated. The Little Lake Butte des Morts bridge would be widened from four to six lanes to meet traffic needs. The existing US 41/SH 441 interchange would be improved to facilitate freeway-to-freeway traffic movements. Two new interchanges would be constructed, one at US 45 and the other at the proposed West Side Arterial. The estimated total cost of project is $42.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed relocation of US 10, through truck traffic would be diverted away from local communities and congested intersections, reducing the accident rate and improving overall traffic safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1.3 acres of wetlands would be converted, and a total of 114 acres would be displaced, including 104 acres of farmland, 6 residences, and 3 businesses. The corridor would sever two farms, although access from abutting roads would be available. In total, eight farms would be affected adversely. The highway structures would encroach onto the 100-year floodplain of Little Lake Butte des Morts, but would not adversely affect water surface elevation or the available flood storage area.

Preparation date: March 8, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FEASIBILITY REPORT ON NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, COOS BAY, OREGON. AN - 36394599; 4541 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the navigation channel at Coos Bay, Oregon, is proposed. Coos Bay is the largest estuary on the Oregon coast excluding the Columbia River; the estuary covers over 12,000 acres, most of which are tide flats and tidal marshes. It is 200 miles south of the Columbia River mouth and 445 miles north of San Francisco Bay. Some tributaries drain into the estuary, including the Coos River. Coos Bay is one of the world's largest shipping ports for timber products. The existing project at Coos Bay provides a channel over an entrance bar that is one mile long and 45 feet deep. The channel, which is stabilized by jetties to the north and south, transitions to a 35-feet-deep inner channel extending 15 miles to the city of Coos Bay. The project provides access to docks and terminals at the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. Six alternatives related to channel modification, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the channel would be deepened by 2 feet to 47 feet at the entrance to 37 feet at river mile (rm) 15 and widen the turning basin at rm 12 by 100 feet. More specifically, the facility would include an outer bar approach 47 feet deep and 700 feet wide; an entrance through the jetties 47 feet by 700 feet wide, tapering to 300 feet wide by 37 feet deep; a lower channel 37 feet deep by 300 feet wide to rm 9 and an upper channel 37 feet deep by 400 feet wide to rm 15; and expanding the rm 12 turning basin width from 800 feet to 900 feet. The dredged material would be disposed at designated offshore sites (sites E, F, and H); all material dredged from the channel is considered suitable for in-water disposal. The total estimated annual costs of the proposal are $1.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deepening the existing entrance and inner channel would help reduce commercial shipping delays and allow full loading of ships. Channel deepening would permit larger vessels to use the port, resulting in fewer ships carrying the same or increased cargo volumes at lower cost per ton. Channel deepening would also allow the port to maintain its competitive position in the world market. The proposed plan would have annual benefits of $2.0 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, present topography would be altered along the 15-mile length of the navigation channel and at the ocean disposal sites; benthic organisms would be removed or buried at these sites; fish and wildlife habitat and food sources would be disturbed through dredging, mechanical rock removal, and disposal; estuarine turbidity and salinity would be temporarily increased; estuarine circulation and sedimentation patterns would be slightly changed; and maintenance dredging requirements would be slightly increased.

These and other earth resources are not only individually irreplacable, they also play a key role in the distribution and character of biological and cultural resources. Stewardship of earth resources requires the use of state-of-the-art methods and concepts for inventory, evaluation, and management. This document serves as a guide and source book for resource managers at DoD installations to understand the scope of earth resources stewardship at-their installation. Initially, the document provides an overview of the nature, occurrence, and significance of earth resources. Methods of acquiring earth resources data and inventorying and stewardship of lithospheric, hydrospheric, and atmospheric resources are then presented. The value and use of earth resources information in the management of cultural and biological resources are discussed in terms of earth resources information required for various management issues. One of the major themes of the report is the role of earth resources information in developing and executing integrated natural and cultural resources stewardship programs.

AN - 36411349; 4443 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of historic hydrological conditions and maintenance of flood control measures for the Canal 111 (C-111) basin in southeastern Dade County, Florida, are proposed. The project is part of the comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project; the C-111 project, which is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park (ENP), has been part of the regional flood control system since it was authorized in 1962. The specific purpose of this draft EIS is to consider alternative plans for restoring the ecosystem in Taylor Slough and the eastern panhandle of the ENP, areas that were adversely affected by drainage activities associated with the flood control project in the C-111 basin. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the action alternatives, water deliveries to the ENP would be made into the C-111 basin only during drought conditions when canal levels drop 1.5 feet below the optimum levels. Restoring water flows to Taylor Slough would require maintenance of normal day-to-day discharges and water levels in the proper locations, with the proper timing. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6A), a detention/retention zone would be used for temporary storage of excess flood water before discharge into Taylor Slough. Four pump stations would pump water into the detention/retention zone using lined canals. A battery of culverts and an overflow spillway would be constructed along the western levee of the detention/retention strip. Additional features of the preferred plan include the construction or modification of ten canals, the construction of a L-31 Tieback levee and a S-332 Tieback levee, the construction of five pump stations, the replacement of the existing bridge over Taylor Slough within the ENP, and the acquisition of over 11,188 acres of land, including Frog Pond and Rocky Glades. The goal of the preferred plan would be to provide a five- to seven-month hydroperiod when water would cover the land surface to depths ranging from 2 to 20 inches and would seldom drop as much as 29 to 30 inches below ground surface. The estimated cost of the proposal is $122 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the preferred alternative would help to restore natural historic water levels and healthy marsh conditions along the ENP boundary, leading to increased overland sheet flows to the lower portions of Taylor Slough. About 397 square miles of Everglades habitat would be provided with longer hydroperiods at beneficial depths, and a 100 percent improvement over base conditions would be produced. The newly acquired lands would be taken out of agricultural production, thereby reducing the runoff of agricultural chemicals into the waters of ENP. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Five residences would be displaced under the preferred alternative. Tree islands or oak hammocks in the area could contain archaeological resources that would be damaged by changes in water levels.

AN - 36403400; 4432 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 17-mile highway extending from Interstate 70 (I-70) in Fallowfield Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Route 51 in Jefferson Borough, Allegheny County, is proposed. The proposed project is one of four segments of the Mon/Fayette Transportation Project, designed to provide highway improvements between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Morgantown, West Virginia. The 17-mile segment under consideration would be a multilane, limited-access toll highway with interchanges at four locations. Under the alternative which was identified as preferred in the draft EIS, the facility would be built along a new alignment and have four 12-foot wide lanes with a 60-foot-wide grass median. Two alternative alignments, the Orange and the Brown, were considered in the draft EIS. Both alignments would generally follow the course of the Monongahela River, which is located one to two miles to the east. In the first section, the first toll interchange north of I-70 for both alignments would be located east of Ghennes Height, providing local access to Coyle Curtain Road. In the second section, the Orange alignment would have a toll interchange located east of Wetland NOJ, providing local access to Route 136; the Brown alignment interchange would be located along Route 136 east of Ringgold High School and Calvary Cemetery. In the third section, both the Orange and Brown alignments would have toll interchanges at Finleyville Elrama Road located several hundred feet apart. In the final section, both alignments would terminate at Route 51 with toll interchanges approximately 0.4 miles apart. A draft supplement to the draft EIS considered a new alignment, the Green alignment, which would generally follow the Brown alignment throughout most of its proposed length, then diverge to the east near Gill Hall Road. It would then follow an alignment to the east of Peters Creek and the Norfolk and Western Railroad until connecting with Route 51, which would be upgraded for two miles between Lewis Run Road and Millers Grove-Clairton Road. Under the preferred alternative (the Selected Alternative), the facility, as described in this final EIS, would follow the Brown alignment in the southernmost section of the highway (section 1), the Brown-to-Orange alignment in section 2, and the Green alignment in sections 3 and 4. The estimated construction cost is $377 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the new facility would improve travel time, access, and safety for both motorists and pedestrians in the mid-Mon Valley. It would remove through- traffic and trucks from community centers, neighborhoods, and roads with restrictive conditions. Congestion would be reduced on existing north-south highways, which have poor alignments, steep grades, and inadequate sight distances. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 20 businesses, 73 residences, 3.59 acres of wetlands, 215 acres of productive farmland, and 3,778 wildlife habitat units. Some 24 water supplies would be adversely affected. In addition, two historic properties in the project area could be adversely affected. Local communities would lose $13,296 of annual income tax and $121,756 of annual property tax for the local municipality and school district.

MARIE, CHIPPEWA COUNTY, MICHIGAN: OPENING OPERATION OF THE LOCK FACILITIES ON 25 MARCH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT III TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1977). AN - 36409135; 4444 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the period of operation of the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, is proposed in order to allow additional vessel transits in response to the reasonable demands of commerce. Currently, annual operations are terminated after January 8 (with a possible extension to January 15). This third final supplement to the final EIS of July 1977 addresses a proposed change in the plan of operation of the federal facilities at Sault Ste. Marie. Specifically, it proposes that the winter closure period be shortened by commencing operation of the locks up to two weeks prior to the April 1 start-up date specified in federal regulations (33 CFR 270.440 (u)). The locks have traditionally not been operated during the winter season because of ice conditions on the upper Great Lakes connecting channels, namely the St. Marys River, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River. However, during the 1970s the locks were operated year-round as part of a demonstration program. From 1980 to 1992, the Corps of Engineers evaluated industry requests for early operation of the locks on a year-by- year basis; those requests were always granted. Three alternatives are considered in this final supplement: retaining the April 1 start-up date; selecting a start-up date between March 15 and April 1 based on ice and weather conditions; and fixing a new start-up date between March 15 and April 1. The preferred alternative is to commence operation and open the locks on March 25. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The extension of lock operations would benefit industry and commercial navigation by allowing for greater use of low-cost waterborne transportation to and from Lake Superior ports and reducing winter stockpiling costs. Industrial and commercial shipping concerns could take advantage of the ten days of additional shipping time proposed under the preferred alternative for vessel traffic passing through the Sault locks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deer on Neebish and Sugar islands could be adversely affected during years in which traffic levels through the locks were significantly increased over normal traffic levels. High traffic levels could result in the blockage of deer attempting to cross the shipping channel to Neebish Island in late March. Some Neebish Island deer could be prevented from browsing on St. Joseph Island. Benthic communities, water quality, and submerged aquatic plants could be adversely affected within the St. Marys River, which has relatively narrow channels and is usually ice- covered during the proposed period of early lock operations. Some shore structures located near the navigation channel in the St. Marys River could be subjected to increased winter damage.

AN - 15221873; 4390 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of tests and collection of data in support of missile research, development, and operational missions, including missions associated with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), on Kwajalein Atoll within the Republic of the Marshall Islands is proposed. Kwajalein Atoll is a crescent-shaped coral reef that encloses the world's largest lagoon. The land area of the atoll is 5.6 square miles. The proposed action outlined in the final EIS of October 1989 provided for test range facilities and support services for continuing research, development, operational launch missions, operational space track missions, and SDI activities. Early in 1991, President Bush announced a refocusing of the SDI program, from its early emphasis on defending against mass nuclear attack from a single source, to protection against limited ballistic missile strikes regardless of their source. The limited-strike program, known as Global Protection against Limited Strikes (GPALS), is designed to protect the U.S., our forces overseas, and our allies and friends abroad. GPALS has three segments: global missile defense (GMD), national missile defense (NMD), and theater missile defense (TMD). Congress, in addition to enacting the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1991 and 1992, enacted the Missile Defense Act of 1991 with the following goals: "(1) [to] deploy an ABM system, including one or an adequate number of ABM sites and space-based sensors, that is capable of providing a highly efficient defense of the United States against limited attacks of ballistic missiles; (2) [to] maintain strategic stability; and (3) [to] provide a highly effective TMD system to forward-deployed and expeditionary elements of the Armed Forces of the United States and to friends and allies of the United States." This final supplement to the final EIS considers two proposed actions. It outlines a proposed action in support of the Missile Defense Act of 1991, plus another proposed action, both requiring environmental analysis. Under the first proposed action, which would support the Missile Defense Act, actions would include the increased testing of advanced systems for defending against limited attacks of ballistic missiles and related support activities. Four alternatives, each proposing a distinct level of testing and development activity, are considered in this final supplement. Under the preferred alternative, an intermediate level of activity is proposed. Launches would be made from Meck, Omelek, and Illeginni islands; as a result, dredging and quarrying for shoreline protection and new facilities would be required. Meck Island would be expanded by approximately 15 acres to accommodate new launch facilities. Illeginni launch facilities would be reconstructed, and some existing silos on Meck and Illeginni could be destroyed. Under the second proposed action, locally developed environmental guidelines and procedures appropriate to the unique environment at Kwajalein Atoll would be adopted in order to replace the U.S.-based environmental statutes and regulations currently in place. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed changes in missile-testing activities would respond to changing U.S. defense needs following the relaxation of East-West tensions. The proposed new environmental regulations would provide higher levels of protection of air and water quality, wildlife resources, and soils. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: With an intermediate level of activity, the nonindigenous island population would increase by approximately 1,675 persons (or 52 percent), placing additional stress on housing and on social and infrastructural resources (e.g., the capacity of the Kwajalein wastewater treatment plant would be exceeded). A proposed explosive ordnance pit on Ennugarret Island would substantially increase noise levels, destroy a small habitat area inhabited by seabirds and coconut crabs, and degrade the aesthetic quality of the island. The expansion of Meck Island would adversely affect coral, fish, and invertebrates. The construction of revetments on a sandy beach on Illeginni Island could harm the hawksbill turtle, an endangered species. Construction and renovation activities on the islands could adversely affect historic and prehistoric sites. Finally, the levels of hazardous wastes generated on the islands would increase substantially. LEGAL MANDATES: Missile Defense Act of 1991.

Preparation date: February 17, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER YAZOO PROJECTS, FLOOD CONTROL, MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, YAZOO BASIN, MISSISSIPPI (FINAL SUPPLEMENT NUMBER 1 TO THE REVISED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1975). AN - 36410225; 4445 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures within the Upper Yazoo Basin located on the eastern side of the Mississippi Delta along the main stem of the Yazoo-Tallahatchie-Coldwater River system from Yazoo City to Darling, Mississippi, is proposed. The study area encompasses 2,300 square miles of drainage, including portions of Carroll, Coahoma, Grenada, Leflore, Holmes, Humphreys, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tunica, and Yazoo counties. Flood problems in the Upper Yazoo Basin are significant. Damages total more than $18.6 million annually, including $3 million in urban damages. In addition, almost 700,000 acres of agricultural lands are subject to annual inundation. This final supplement to the final EIS of December 1975 identifies the specific flood control measures which would be taken. Eight structural alternatives and a No Action Alternative are under consideration. Under the recommended plan (Alternative 5), approximately 130.3 miles of the Yazoo, Tallahatchie, and Coldwater rivers would undergo channel enlargement to a maximum bottom width of 150 feet transitioning to 75 feet at the upper end of the work. Approximately 26 million cubic yards of material would be excavated from the channel bottom and one bank only by hydraulic dredge, providing an average conveyance increase of 50 percent over current channel capacity. Construction would include the development of 49 water control structures, 52 confined disposal facilities, grade control structures on Tillatoba Creek and Panola-Quitman Floodway, two weirs, and approximately five miles of bank stabilization. Twelve water control structures and 48 confined disposal facilities would be modified and operated for waterfowl in order to reduce adverse impacts. To compensate fully for remaining losses from completed and proposed construction, approximately 16,250 acres of frequently flooded agricultural land would be acquired in fee title and reforested; 750 acres of moist soil management areas would be developed, and excess waterfowl benefits from the Upper Steele Bayou Project would be credited. The estimated cost of the plan, including mitigation, is $190.2 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the risks of costly flooding would be substantially reduced on both urban and agricultural lands. The flood control measures identified in this final supplement would be economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. Features would be incorporated which would reduce maintenance requirements and sediment inflow while concurrently providing improved habitat for fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, rights-of-way requirements would displace approximately 656 acres of wooded wetlands and 1,803 acres of farmed wetlands. These losses would be in addition to the 4,677 acres of wetlands lost since construction commenced in 1976 and the 16,541 acres of wetlands that would experience adverse hydrological impacts. In addition, 3,588 acres of prime farmland would be displaced under the recommended plan. Some 5,333 acres of bottomland hardwood would be converted, and 5,745 acres of bottomland would experience adverse hydrologic impacts. Land conversion would adversely affect wildlife dependent on bottomland hardwood habitat and reduce waterfowl foraging habitat and carrying capacity.

AN - 36406486; 4394 AB - PURPOSE: The stationing of mechanized or armored combat forces at Fort Lewis, Washington, and its sub-installation, the Yakima Training Center (YTC), is proposed. Fort Lewis is an 86,176-acre military reservation located in Pierce and Thurston counties in western Washington, approximately 35 miles south of Seattle and 7 miles northeast of Olympia. The YTC is a 323,651-acre subinstallation about 7 miles northeast of the city of Yakima on the east side of the Cascade range in Yakima and Kittitas counties in the central portion of the state. The forces proposed for relocation at Fort Lewis would probably come from U.S. bases outside the continental U.S. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Two-Brigade Alternative), two heavy-combat brigades with roughly 10,400 additional troops and 1,100 tracked vehicles would be assigned to Fort Lewis and the YTC. Maneuver training at Fort Lewis would be primarily at the platoon level and result in 30,000 additional off-road tracked vehicle miles per year; training at YTC would be primarily at the battalion and brigade levels and result in 89,500 additional vehicle miles per year. The first brigade would arrive in the summer of 1994, and the second brigade would arrive in 1999 after construction to support the brigade's training activities had been completed. Facility requirements at Fort Lewis would include new maintenance facilities, an aviation unit maintenance facility, 200 barrack spaces, and an expansion of an existing washrack. At YTC, new facilities would include an ammunition supply point, an equipment concentration site, a petroleum and lubricant storage facility, an expansion of an existing washrack, a multipurpose training range, and an upgrade of the multipurpose range complex. Under the other action alternative, one brigade would be stationed at Fort Lewis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a heavy combat force would be placed in the western U.S. at a location with suitable terrain for training exercises, minimal needs for new construction, accessibility to sealift facilities, and the capability for rapid deployment in response to contingencies in the Pacific region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, increased dust from off- road training activities involving tracked vehicles would adversely affect air quality. Soil loss and increased erosion caused by greater off-road tracked vehicle miles at YTC would increase suspended solid levels in the Yakima and Columbia rivers during extreme runoff conditions. Training activities would also cause the loss of vegetation and wildlife habitat, increased traffic for off-post roadways and interchanges near Fort Lewis, increased noise levels beyond the installation boundaries, and the disruption of historic sites and lands used by Native Americans for food gathering. The projected population growth would increase the demand for additional classroom space in local school districts.

Preparation date: February 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND OUTFALL FACILITIES, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO. AN - 36398693; 4435 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an international wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and associated outfall facilities is proposed in order to treat flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River and its tributaries near the California-Mexico line. 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 U.S. waters. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative with two Mexican action variations, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), 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 U.S. 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. Construction of the ITWP and associated conveyance and outfall pipelines would begin in 1994 and would continue into 1998. Construction costs of the ITWP are estimated at $142 million; construction costs for the ocean outfall are estimated at $124 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the region would benefit ecologically, economically, recreationally, and public health- wise. 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. 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: Construction of the ITWP would displace 5 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. Noise from construction could also adversely affect the coastal California gnatcatcher.

Preparation date: February 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JOINT TRAINING EXERCISE ROVING SANDS AT FORT BLISS, EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS, AND OTERO AND DONA ANA COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO, AND WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE; DONA ANA, OTERO, SIERRA, SOCORRO, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO. AN - 15225319; 4393 AB - PURPOSE: The conducting of the joint military exercises (Roving Sands) at three facilities in Texas and New Mexico is proposed. The facilities are Fort Bliss in Texas and New Mexico; White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico; and Roswell Industrial Air Center in New Mexico. The exercises would be conducted once a year for five years, during the third quarter of the federal fiscal year, and involve ground-to-air and air-to-air defense training executed by the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. Each exercise would involve the use of up to 80 individual sites ranging in size from 2 to 40 acres. Live ammunition would be used at some sites and pyrotechnics would be used elsewhere. Approximately 300 sorties per day would be flown. Participants would include approximately 10,000 personnel from the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Field training would be conducted for approximately two weeks following a one-week deployment period, and conclude with a one-week redeployment of forces. Equipment would include approximately 300 airplanes and helicopters, 3,000 wheeled vehicles, 60 tracked vehicles, and other minor equipment. Under the preferred alternative, the Roswell facility would be used solely as a staging area; the actual exercises would be conducted at the other two facilities. The costs for deploying the joint forces to these facilities would be approximately $500,000. The only other alternative under consideration is the No Action Alternative. This final programmatic EIS broadly considers the environmental effects of these operations for the next five years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed exercises would involve all four service branches and test our joint air defense operational capabilities. It would be the only military exercises to involve planning and executing multiservice air defense actions. The numerous military installations in the vicinity of Fort Bliss would facilitate the access and support of ground troops, while the extensive infrastructure in the area would facilitate the movement of personnel and equipment. The operations would benefit local economies, generating $7.2 million in sales of local goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The major adverse impact would be the trampling and crushing of vegetation on each site, although each site has previously been disturbed.

The latter offer marked benefits for a shoreline subject to chronic erosion, particularly when local littoral processes are considered in conjunction with beach fill plans. Socioenvironmental and littoral concerns addressed in project planning and implementation are identified. As designed, the terminal structures can reduce end losses of beach fill without exerting negative influences on the downdrift shoreline.

Monitoring reveals the failure of these efforts to create depositional beaches. The projects were adversely impacted by rapid colonization of marine biota on artificial seaweed fronds. Areas with stabilizers were marked by the updrift deposition and downdrift erosion patterns typical for groin structures. Beaches updrift and within sand web systems had the highest accretion rates, but beaches downdrift experienced erosion.

Another 109 of these erosion control devices were emplaced at an additional site in December 1992. The cones accreted substantial volumes of material along the beach of a barrier island. An average increase in elevation at one site was about 7 inches with a maximum buildup of 3 ft. Accretion rates were less marked at other sites but no additional erosion occurred. The cones survived fringe impacts of Hurricane Andrew, indicating that they can be anchored so as to survive such events.

Six artificial reef modules were constructed of limestone boulders and placed 30-43 m from shore at a depth of 2 m. A shore-detached groin was also erected north of the hardbottom formation to deflect littorally transported sand from the project around the hardbottom and to enhance habitat for biota. These strategies successfully provided suitable mitigation for the hardbottom habitat lost during the 1988 project.

Erosion rates in the last 40 yr have been in the 7-50 ft/yr range. The poor performance of beach nourishment projects initiated in the 1960s and 1970s has prompted implementation of various experimental and alternative erosion control schemes. Since 1981, the city has invested $4.5 million in the establishment of coarse sand beaches, sandbag reefs, and artificial seaweed plots.

The regional sand movement between two coastal inlets in Florida was studied by development of a regional sand budget. Major offshore sand movement was discovered after project initiation, with the amount of offshore accretion representing 50-73% of the nearshore erosion. Beach nourishment sites were eroding at similar rates of 43,000-45,000 cubic yards/yr, but the erosion rate per linear foot of shoreline declined with increased project length. Downdrift beaches accreted at about 33% of the erosion rates of adjacent nourishment sites.

In response, local communities on Fire Island planned and initiated beach nourishment projects which should provide a few years of protection until a federal project can be implemented. Short-term protection will also be offered by a USACE-designed breach closure scheme at Westhampton. The agency is now formulating a more comprehensive plan that addresses storm protection, erosion control, sand by-passing, and flood protection for the mainland. A state task force is also assessing state policy issues that affect local sponsorship of federal projects.

Hot spots develop as areas of increased erosion of the placed fill template. The nature of this phenomenon was monitored by USACE at a beach nourishment project in Ocean City, MD. The effort proved effective in providing shore protection; most fill material remained in the active profile envelope after winter storms. However, higher erosion and lower recovery rates were found for erosion hot spot areas relative to other sites. Shoreface-attached shoals corresponded with areas of high erosion.

Alternative erosion control technologies should not block marine turtle access to or otherwise disturb nesting sites. Project planners must be sure that physical barriers do not interfere with hatchling survival. Case study analysis reveals the effects, both positive and negative, of beach dewatering, chemical dune stabilization, artificial seaweed placement, and other projects on marine turtles. Additional monitoring of sand compaction, hydric conditions, and hatchling survival is needed to weigh the acceptability of alternative strategies.

AN - 36404029; 4429 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the Interstate 90 (I-90)/I-93 freeway system from its current terminus in Boston, Massachusetts, is proposed. The project, which would be known as the Central Artery (I-93)/Third Harbor Tunnel (I-90), would be located entirely in the city of Boston in Suffolk County. This third final supplement to the final EIS of August 1985 considers that portion of the project area north of the Causeway Street subarea and describes three new design alternatives for the Charles River crossing. The purpose in considering the new alternatives is to reduce the adverse visual and environmental impacts associated with Scheme Z, the proposed action described in a 1991 final supplement. Scheme Z would include three bridge structures: two main cable- stayed bridges with towers on both sides of the river, and a double-deck bridge differing in type and profile from the main bridges. The cable-stayed bridges, each with five lanes in one direction, would accommodate the I-93 main line, while the double-deck bridge (three lanes over three) would accommodate traffic movements to and from Leverett Circle /Storrow Drive, for a total of 16 lanes over the river. Under the preferred alternative (the Non-River-Tunnel Alternative), some 3,300 linear feet of tunnel would be added in the North Station area. A ten- lane, cable-stayed main-line bridge, with a tower on either side of the river, and a four-lane bridge, with the same profile as the main-line structure, that would carry traffic to and from Storrow Drive/Leverett Circle, would be built. Tunnel footage would be reduced through the construction of a viaduct to carry Storrow Drive-to-Tobin Bridge traffic. Minor revisions to this plan are presented in this final supplemental EIS: an off-ramp and tunnel ventilation facility would be relocated primarily in order to minimize adverse residential impacts. The estimated costs of the preferred alternative are $995 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Charles River Crossing would link regional highway facilities on the south side of the river, including components of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project in Boston, to the regional network on the north side of the river, and to complete all necessary local connections to these facilities. The Central Artery/Tunnel Project would have beneficial impacts in central Boston and its immediate surroundings. The capacity of I-93 would increase substantially, and, together with the extension of I-90, the freeway would relieve congestion on local streets and on the freeway system. Access to downtown Boston and Logan Airport would improve significantly, and air quality would improve as well. Economic benefits for the state, the New England County Metropolitan Area, Suffolk County, and the immediate study area would be substantial. Compared to Scheme Z, the Charles River crossing under the preferred alternative would improve traffic flow and the level of service, and would eliminate the need for the double crossing of the Charles River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some encroachment of parkland would take place under Scheme Z. Under the preferred alternative, the acquisition of a hospital and a steam generating plant, two properties that would be unaffected by Scheme Z, would be required. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at some locations under both plans, and both would require the filling of 1.1 acres of wetlands in the Millers River area. Under the preferred alternative, the historic Registry of Motor Vehicles building would need to be underpinned to prevent any long-term adverse impacts. Under Scheme Z, the size and prominence of the bridge structures would have a noticeable impact on the visual environment for motorists and pedestrians.

The knowledge of the distribution and variability of hydraulic conductivity within these deposits are key factors for the estimation of water residence times and of description of large-scale mixing processes in aquifers such as macrodispersion. It has been shown elsewhere that the spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity is related to the composition and the characteristic dimensions of sedimentary structures, which are themselves related to the dynamics of ancient braided-river systems. In many contamination problems, sedimentological information is sparse and drill-core descriptions and pumping-tests only give a limited picture of the geometry of inhomogeneities. The ground-probing radar (GPR) method is a promising tool for resolving changes of physical properties in gravel deposits at the scale of natural inhomogeneities arising from changing sedimentary composition. However, the main limitation of GPR is the rapid attenuation of electromagnetic waves in subsurface sediments such as gravels, which leads to a limited penetration of the order of 10 to 15 m for a 250 MHz antenna. The objectives of our present work are: (1) To show how digital processing methods similar to reflection seismics may be applied for velocity and profile processing. These methods can improve both the resolution of radar profiles, in particular at greater depths, and the determination of velocity distributions from CDP experiments. (2) To examine whether and to what extent the characteristic lithofacies of Pleistocene gravel deposits can be recognized as mappable reflection patterns on ground-probing radar (GPR) reflection profiles in order to gain information about the geometry of inhomogeneities. Using modern digital data processing methods, such as band pass, high- or low-cut filtering, deconvolution and velocity analysis, much more significant information can be obtained from the recorded GPR field data-sets. Our results demonstrate that on GPR reflection images the basic fluvial forms such as (1) pool deposits generated at the junction of two-channels, and (2) channel deposits may be distinguished. Their shape and characteristic spatial dimensions may be recognized from a series of profiles in different directions. Because the method can detect changes in water content, the reflection image may be related even to small changes in the degree of saturation of the sediments. Thus reflectors can indicate the changing composition of sediments. JF - Journal of Applied Geophysics AU - Huggenberger, Peter AU - Meier, Edi AU - Pugin, Andre A2 - Chapellier, D.

AN - 36414046; 4396 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a hydroelectric project with an estimated installed generating capacity of 10.3 megawatts (MW) on the Snake River in Bingham County, Idaho, is proposed by the city of Idaho Falls. The proposed project site is located between river miles 783 and 789, approximately ten miles southwest of Idaho Falls and adjacent to the city of Shelley. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would consist of the following: (1) an earth-fill diversion dam 25 feet high and 300 feet long; (2) a spillway with five radial gates, capable of discharging flows of 55,000 cubic feet per second; (3) 12-foot-high dikes approximately 6,800 feet long on the eastern bank and 4,000 feet long on the western bank; (4) a 2.7-mile-long reservoir; (5) a 50-foot-long, 30-foot-wide powerhouse located at the diversion dam that would contain a 1.4- MW turbine generator unit; (6) a power canal 3,800 feet long and 20 feet wide, with embankments 11 feet high; (7) a 136-foot-long, 40-foot-wide main powerhouse containing an 8.9-MW bulb turbine generator; (8) a tailrace channel 500 feet long and 175 feet wide; (9) a 161-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 0.5 miles long; (10) a 4.16-Kv interconnection between the powerhouses; (11) the reconstruction of an existing diversion dam to allow continued diversion of water to the Fort Hall Reservation Canal; and (12) an access road and a bridge over the power canal. In addition, the applicant would construct and maintain two day-use recreation areas on the west bank of the reservoir near Woodville and another on the west bank of the free-flowing Snake River near the existing Blackfoot Canal diversion dam, and would restore and protect 290 acres adjacent to the Snake River and about 13 miles downstream from the proposed project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: According to the project applicant, the run-of-river hydroelectric facility would generate an annual average of 62.7 gigawatt hours of electricity. This additional generating capacity would increase the capacity and reliability of the regional electric power grid. New hydroelectric generation would provide an opportunity to reduce the quantity of atmospheric pollutants associated with the combustion of fossil fuels. During the peak construction period, the project would employ an average of 240 workers. Once operational, the project would employ two to three workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect 124 vegetated acres, and despite the proposed mitigation, would not result in adequate replacement of lost or degraded wetland and riparian habitat, causing the long-term loss of wetland, riparian, and island habitat, which would adversely affect wildlife, particularly waterfowl. It would change 2.7 miles of existing river habitat to reservoir pool habitat and degrade a 2.4-mile bypass reach as a result of flow reduction. The icing of the reservoir pool and increased icing of the bypass reach would make the project area unsuitable for bald eagle foraging during the winter, displacing five to ten bald eagles. The project would also cause water temperature increases, which would violate state water quality laws; the loss of salmon spawning and rearing habitat; and a decrease in the production of trout. In addition, it would adversely affect visual resources at 42 residences.

AN - 36398801; 4452 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a lock replacement at the Marmet Locks and Dam on the Kanawha River near DuPont City in Kanawha County, West Virginia, is proposed. The Marmet Locks and Dam facility is located at Kanawha River mile 67.7, approximately five miles upstream from Charleston. The size of the existing locks is inadequate to accommodate the longer and wider tows in use. Modern tows must be disassembled in order to pass through the small locks at Marmet in multiple cuts, and subsequently reassembled after lockage is complete. The process of multiple lockages results in costly delays and increases the probability of accidents. Two lock size designs are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, an additional lock would be added on the right descending bank landward of the existing locks and skewed one degree clockwise. The new lock would be 800 by 110 feet (Plan A). The existing locks would continue to be used during construction or maintenance at the new lock. The project would require the excavation of 3.0 million cubic yards of material and involve structural modifications to the dam to insure its stability. Mitigation measures would include onsite relocation of an intermittent stream, six acres of bottomland, and eight acres of high-quality tillable land. In-river structures would be constructed along several miles of bank to mitigate the impacts of tow traffic and tow configurations. The estimated project cost of the preferred alternative is $252.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new lock would virtually eliminate delays to tows waiting for passage outside the project approach areas, which, in turn, would effectively end the recurring disturbance of near- shore habitat by moored tows. Safety would also be improved due to the efficient movement of traffic and the minimization of congestion. The net benefits for Plan A would be $15.7 million, compared to $14.0 million for Plan B. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 242 families and 10 businesses, and disrupt established neighborhoods. At the construction site, approximately 58 acres of mature urban- residential habitat, 9 acres of farmland, 5.76 acres of scrub shrub wetland habitat, and 29 acres of forests would be destroyed. Fish habitat would be degraded by construction activities and the operation of larger tows in the river.

Preparation date: January 31, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SNAKE RIVER CANYON HIGHWAY, US 26/89, ALPINE JUNCTION TO HOBACK JUNCTION, TETON AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36394263; 4434 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 23 miles of US 26/89 from Alpine Junction to Hoback Junction in Teton and Lincoln counties, Wyoming, is proposed. The proposed project would lie within the Bridger Teton National Forest in northwestern Wyoming. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative, Alternative A), the facility would include two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot paved shoulders. A 14-foot clear zone would be incorporated throughout most of the project corridor where no conflicts with steep terrain features or recreational features were encountered. In areas where substantial conflicts exist, the clear safety zone beyond the eight-foot shoulder would be reduced or eliminated and replaced with a traffic hazard barrier, most likely in the form of a guardrail. Gradeline improvements and horizontal curve modifications throughout the highway segment would increase stopping and passing sight distances. Three passing zones, ranging in length from 3,500 to 3,700 feet, would be provided. In addition, fairly major alignment changes at the Blue Trails and Deer Creek landslides would be implemented to minimize safety hazards created by these unstable landforms. Turn lanes and acceleration lanes, as well as judicious placement of guardrails for purposes other than elimination of the clear safety zones, would be provided. Retaining structures on cut and fill slopes would be used in areas of critically steep terrain to minimize the encroachment of fill slopes toward the river and the lengths of cut slopes. Ten paved scenic turnouts would be provided, and 28 unpaved and poorly located turnouts would be eliminated. Highway construction would proceed in five or six phases or projects, with the first phase tentatively scheduled in fiscal year 1997. In the most likely scenario, one phase of the project would be completed each year until reconstruction of the entire 23-mile corridor is completed. The estimated cost of the project is $58.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, a narrow, winding roadway with inadequate shoulders, and inadequate emergency parking and bicycle safety, would be replaced by a safe, modern highway facility. Project improvements would increase safety and capacity levels through a canyon widely recognized for its scenic and recreational resources as well as its economic importance to regional commercial users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace important wildlife habitat, including 2.9 acres of old-growth forest and 5.3 acres of wetlands. Overall, the project would displace 398 acres permanently; under the worst-case scenario, an additional 106 acres would be disturbed during construction activities. Bald eagles could be displaced as a result of the construction. Construction could result in the displacement of wildlife. Adverse visual impacts would result from the necessity for extensive cut and fill slopes and retaining structures. Localized, short-term increases in sedimentation and turbidity would occur in the Snake River and affected tributary streams as a result of the project. Recreational use of the Snake River and canyon corridors would be diminished during the construction period.

AN - 36409222; 4406 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the surface mining (open-pit) operations by Texasgulf Inc. near the town of Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project area comprises 14,200 acres located on the north shore of the Pamlico River six miles north of Aurora. Since 1965 Texasgulf has operated phosphate mining and processing facilities in the area; through 1991, some 4,249 acres have been mined, and of this amount, some 716 acres have been reclaimed. The expansion would involve developing a new open-pit phosphate mine on a tract located in Richland township. The proposed mine would produce approximately 120 million tons of phosphate concentrate at the mill over a 20-year period. Five locational alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative B), the mine would be located on a 4,516-acre tract of land in the eastern portion of the project area, excluding all natural tributaries to the landward extent of Coastal Area Management Act jurisdictional areas. The removal of the first stage of overburden would be accomplished under one of two operational alternatives, either by hydraulic dredge or by bucket wheel excavator. In the second stage of overburden removal, the phosphate ore would be exposed by dragline. It would then be extracted by dragline and transferred into a sump, where high pressure water guns would be used to form a slurry. The slurry would then be transferred to the mill where the phosphate would be sized and washed and treated with froth flotation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed mine expansion would permit the applicant to continue mining its phosphate reserve in an economically viable fashion, and ensure a continued supply of the element phosphorous, which is used in fertilizer, animal feed supplements, and other products. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the expansion would displace 4 private residences, 32 acres of prime farmland under cultivation, and 3,069 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, including 185 acres of special concern. A total of 992 acres of relatively undisturbed biotic communities would be adversely affected under the proposed action. Additional adverse impacts would include temporary drainage area reductions, loss of wildlife resources, loss of soil and mineral resources, short-term degradation of water quality, and the disturbance of a historic site. State Highway 306 would be relocated within the project area, and north-south portions of the Norfolk Southern Railroad would be rerouted.

Preparation date: January 19, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST VIRGINIA ROUTE 9, CHARLES TOWN TO VIRGINIA LINE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (STATE PROJECT U219-9-10.43 FEDERAL PROJECT HPDS-9215(004)S). AN - 36394203; 4433 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of State Route (SR) 9 from the Charles Town Bypass (US 340) in Jefferson County, West Virginia, to the Virginia state line is proposed. The proposed project would involve a seven-mile section of existing SR 9, which would be upgraded to a four-lane, partially-controlled-access highway. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under all of the build alternatives, the Shenandoah River and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in the vicinity of the state line would be crossed. In addition, under all of the build alternatives, approximately 2,800 feet of roadway improvement south of the state line would be required in order to provide a smooth transition from the proposed four-lane highway to the existing two-lane roadway in Loudon County, Virginia. The new roadway would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction, a minimum 40-foot median, 10- to 12-foot paved right shoulders, and 3- to 6-foot paved left shoulders. Under one of the build alternatives (Line A), the facility would run parallel to existing SR 9 for most of its length; while under the other four alternatives, it would follow an alignment roughly one-half mile north of existing SR 9. The estimated total cost of the project is $58.3 million to $68.9 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the facility would provide an improved highway for the increasing population of Jefferson County, improved highway safety in the project area, and an improved overall level of service to motorists by increasing intersection and highway capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the build alternatives would displace 9 to 84 residences, up to 5 businesses, up to 1.04 acres of wetlands, 97.6 to 162.6 acres of forest, 56.6 to 92.7 acres of productive farmland, and 31.4 to 69.4 acres rangeland. In addition, 6.1 to 8.2 acres of the Appalachian National Trail would be purchased; 10.1 to 34.3 acres of floodplain encroachment would take place; and 1 to 3 historic structures would be adversely affected, depending on the build alternative selected.

Preparation date: January 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED PLAN FOR NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT, FORT PIERCE HARBOR, SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA (REVISED DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1986). AN - 36411239; 4442 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing federal project at Fort Pierce Harbor in Florida is proposed. The city of Fort Pierce is located on the lower east coast of Florida, approximately 120 miles north of Miami and 225 miles south of Jacksonville. The harbor itself is situated on the Indian River within the city of Fort Pierce, and access to the ocean is provided via a man-made cut through the barrier island. The existing federal project, completed in 1938, consists of an entrance channel, an interior channel, a turning basin, two protective jetties, and berthing areas. Existing port facilities are used primarily for shipments of citrus, cement, and argonite. At its present depth, the existing channel requires shipments in shallow- to moderate-draft vessels and cannot support larger deep-draft vessels. A final EIS on a proposal to dredge the channel and turning basin was issued in June 1986. However, when state environmental agencies conducted field reconnaissance of the project area in April 1991, a dive survey uncovered a diverse underwater biological community on the rock ledges on the sides of the existing channel and at the edges of the turning basin. A November 1992 draft supplement to the final EIS evaluated the original proposal, a modified version of that proposal (the Modified Plan Alternative), a No Action Alternative, and their effects on these biological resources. Under the modified proposal, the channel would be dredged to the same depth and width as in the original proposal: the interior channel would have a design depth of 28 feet and a bottom width of 250 feet, and extend out to a 30-foot-deep, 400- foot-wide entrance channel. The turning basin would be 28 feet deep and have a diameter of 1,100 feet, with a 28-foot-deep, 250- foot-wide spur channel extending to the north end. The only significant difference between the two proposals is that the modified proposal revises the layout of the turning basin and channel to minimize the amount of rock that would be dredged and to avoid dredging any seagrass beds. Under both proposals, all dredged material that were not of beach-sand quality would be disposed at sea. The total quantity of dredged material would be 1.1 million cubic yards under the original proposal and 815,000 cubic yards under the modified proposal. The modified proposal is the preferred alternative; its benefit-to-cost ratio would be 1.9. The estimated cost for a 28-foot-deep channel is $9.2 million. This revised draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1986 makes additional changes to modified proposal in order to reduce adverse environmental impacts and presents some additional analysis of the probable environmental effects. A dredged material disposal island would be modified into a shallow lagoon surrounded by wetland habitats. Two acres of a former borrow hole in the Indian River used for causeway construction would be filled and have an artificial reef placed on top; this would replace lost reef-like communities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to shippers and attract new exporting and importing businesses, which would stimulate the local economy. Under the modified proposal, some 13.3 acres of rock/ledge habitat would be temporarily altered; while under the original proposal, some 16.6 acres would be altered. Some 5,900 linear feet of beach would be restored to sea turtle nesting habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly dredged channel would accelerate beach erosion and increase the volume of material trapped in offshore sandbars, but these adverse effects would be partially offset by the placement of dredged sand on adjacent beaches. Dredged sediments could bury nearby biological communities, and toxic contaminants present in the sediments could enter the food chain and become concentrated in large predators. Some phases of the operation could also adversely affect resident populations of manatees and sea turtles. In addition, some 15 acres of rocky channel-edge habitat and productive shallow-water habitat for invertebrates, crustaceans, and fish would be lost.

Peroxone is an advanced oxidation process that utilizes the reaction of ozone and hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl radicals without the requirement of ultraviolet light. The USAE Waterways Experiment Station (WES) evaluated the use of peroxone at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) for treatment of groundwater contaminated with diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) and low levels of pesticides. This evaluation was performed at RMA using a pilot scale treatment system. Results indicate that DIMP was easily oxidized to below detection limit levels. Optimization of the process indicated that a 250 m1/1 hydrogen peroxide dose in four columns plumbed in series that were all sparged with 2.2% ozonated air at a rate of 2.5 scfm.

This paper will focus on new developments and applications procedures for the surface water hydrology models. The primary surface water hydrology model is the HEC-1 Flood Hydrograph Package. It can simulate the precipitation-runoff process in a wide variety of basins, from small urban areas to large river basins. It also has many features which facilitate its application to urban areas. The next generation of HEC-1, termed the NexGen Hydrologic modeling System, HMS, is currently under development. A new model to analyze flooding in interior areas (e.g., on the lad side of a levee) was just released. An older model (STORM) for urban storm water and combined sewer storage and treatment is still used in the profession but not actively supported by HEC. These models (primarily HEC-1) will be discussed in relation to urban hydrologic design. Future direction of the Corps new "Urban Hydrology Method/Models" research work unit will also be discussed.

The banks are typically relatively large blocks of wetlands with estimated tangible and intangible values, termed credits. The accomplishments during the first phase of the two-phase National Wetland Mitigation Banking Study are elucidated. The following phase-one activities are described, which reviewed mitigation banking as practiced to date and explored the opportunities afforded by the banking concept that could contribute toward rational ecosystem management: nationwide inventory of existing and proposed banks; detailed case studies of representative banks; review of debiting and crediting methods; analysis of fee-based compensatory mitigation alternatives; examination of private markets for mitigation banking; exploration of potentials for banking within a watershed-planning framework; evaluation of potential to contribute to wetland goals; determination of the application of banking to USACE programs; preparation of preliminary guidelines for the establishment, management, and operation of mitigation banks; and recommendations for the next study phase. The overall conclusion is that the concept, when properly planned and managed, may provide an effective means to mitigate wetland loss in the US. USACE should assume a more direct role in bank establishment while continuing to provide oversight.

It was assumed that description of the competition between floc-forming and filamentous organisms required differentiation between readily biodegradable substrate in the influent and readily biodegradable products of hydrolysis. Most of the kinetic parameters for heterotrophic floc-forming and nitrifying organisms could be estimated directly in batch tests, but those for obligate aerobic filamentous bacteria, which represent only a small fraction of the biomass, must be estimated by indirect methods. The stoichiometry and process kinetics of the model are tabulated. (see also following abstract).

The model demonstrated that long retention periods in primary sedimentation tanks might induce aerobic bulking, and that even small amounts of aerobic filamentous bacteria in the influent might cause serious problems. The model also confirmed the effectiveness of compartmentalized aerobic selectors for suppressing the growth of filamentous organisms and preventing sludge bulking. In nitrifying plants, extended anoxic sludge blankets in secondary clarifiers also hindered the growth of aerobic filamentous bacteria. (see also preceding abstract).

Rate constants for inorganic and organic compounds AN - 13688696; 199402793 AB - Conventional batch-type and stopped-flow methods were used to determine the kinetics of chlorine dioxide consumption by a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, and the results are tabulated. In all cases the rate law was first-order in both chlorine dioxide and substrate concentrations, and could be characterized by second-order rate constants. Measured data constants were high for nitrite, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, iodide, and ferrous iron, and also for phenolic compounds, tertiary amines, and thiols when the pH values was not too low. Bromide, ammonia, aromatic hydrocarbons, primary and secondary amines, aldehydes, ketones, and carbohydrates were unreactive under conditions typical of water treatment. In the case of weak acids (phenols) and weak bases, the effect of pH value on the reaction rate indicated that rate constants were much higher for deprotonated compounds than for protonated species.

Quantitative structure-activity relationships for phenolic compounds AN - 13684853; 199402794 AB - Data on rate constants for the reaction of chlorine dioxide with phenolic compounds were used to develop quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for the rates of oxidation of substituted phenols with chlorine dioxide. These values could then be used to predict the rate constants for oxidation of other phenolic compounds. The second-order rate constants for oxidation of undissociated substituted phenols were about 6 orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding values for phenoxide anions, indicating that, in the treatment of water with chlorine dioxide, only the reaction of the phenoxide anions would be significant.

These adsorbates comprised iodine, p-nitrophenol, and 3 organic dyes, namely Methylene Blue, Crystal Violet and Congo Red. The adsorption capacities for these compounds were correlated with pore size distributions obtained by the analyses of nitrogen isotherms at 77K with the aid of 2 theoretical models. The second, more recently-developed, diffusional theory (DFT) model appeared to provide the better correlation with dye adsorption behaviour, although with some possible deviations in the 8-14 Angstrom pore size range. Despite this, the new DFT model produced the more realistic results in the case of the lower molecular weight compounds and could be used to simulate the effects of various regeneration treatments on the pore size distribution from a knowledge of the changes in dye adsorption capacity.
