4875927 AB - Net solar radiation often dominates the snow surface energy exchange during ablation in many conifer forests. Reflection of solar radiation from the snow surface depends not only on snow properties, but also on forest litter lying on and within the snowpack. We know of no validated model reported in the literature that accounts for the influence of forest litter on snow surface energy exchanges. The purpose of this work is to test an existing algorithm's ability to accumulate forest litter in snow layers and to predict the subsequent effect of litter on the snow surface albedo. Field studies in a conifer stand of red spruce-balsam fir in northern Vermont, USA, provided key data for validation, including subcanopy radiation, meteorology, snow depth, and images of litter accumulation. We ran the litter algorithm coupled with the snow model SNTHERM for the ablation season, and predictions compared well with measurements of snow depth, snow surface litter coverage, and snow surface albedo beneath the conifer canopy. Model results suggest that for this forest and ablation season, the current litter algorithm realistically distributes litter in the snowpack through time with validated effects on snow surface litter concentration and albedo. The poor relationship between mean wind speed and change in litter coverage on the snow surface suggest that, for this forest and ablation season, incorporating wind events into the algorithm will not improve the results.

In this paper, investigations of ice layer permeabilities are reported for prominent ice layers 1 to 3 mm thick in a seasonal snowpack. For distinct, fairly solid ice layers 1 to 3 mm thick, permeabilities ranged from 1 to 19 x 10 super(-10) m super(2); these values are significantly lower than values for the surrounding snow. Within 24 h early in the melt season, the permeability of the surface crust increased 160%, from approximately 70 to 120 x 10 super(-10) m super(2). This increase in permeability was accompanied by a small increase in grain size and a decrease in albedo. The snow-air interface can exhibit dramatic changes in transport properties over relatively short periods of time, even without precipitation events. These changes, driven by the surface meteorology, affect transport properties such as permeability as well as albedo.

AN - 36410612; 8313 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a highway linking Interstate Highway 55 (I-55) to I-80, located near the city of Chicago in northern Illinois, is proposed. The 12.5-mile, north-south, multilane, divided highway, to be known as Federal Aid Primary Route 340, would be 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. The final EIS of February 1996 considered a No Action Alternative, a mass transit alternative, and three build alternatives. This draft supplement to the final EIS discloses additional information related to implementing the preferred alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be a freeway/tollway with interchanges at I-80, US Route 6, Illinois State Route 7 (SR 7, also known as 159th Street), and 143rd Street/SR 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, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 52 residences, three businesses, and one structure eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as the loss of 10.4 acres of wetlands. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect several locations along the project.

WARREN AIR FORCE BASE; GOSHEN, LARAMIE, AND PLATTE COUNTIES, WYOMING. AN - 36408726; 8304 AB - PURPOSE: The deactivation and dismantlement of the Peacekeeper missile system at F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB), located in southeastern Wyoming, is proposed. The 5,866-acre AFB is located adjacent to the western edge of the city of Cheyenne. The action would allow the U.S. to comply with the requirements of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) II, as modified by the Helsinki Agreement of September 1997. The system to be deactivated includes up to 50 Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile launch facilities (LFs) and five missile alert facilities (MAFs). Major issues identified during scoping include those related to socioeconomics, environmental justice, transportation, land use, hazardous materials and waste management, geologic resources, water resources, air resources, noise, biological resources, and cultural resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives include two options in the dismantlement process: the removal of the hardened intersite cable system and the mechanical demolition of the headworks. The deactivation process would occur in four phases. Phase 1 would include the removal of the missiles. Phase 2 would include the removal of salvageable items from the LFs and MAFs and placing the LFs and MAFs in caretaker status. Phases 1 and 2 would be performed primarily by Air Force personnel with contractor support as needed. Phase 3 would be a contractor operation involving the closure of MAF sewage disposal facilities, the removal and/or the closure in place of underground storage tanks, and the deactivation and dismantlement of certain portions of the LFs and MAFs. Phase 4 would involve the disposal of the property associated with the system. Under the proposed action, the deactivation would occur at an average rate of one every three weeks and the dismantlement would occur over a 27-month period, with activities occurring throughout the year as weather permitted. While the final disposition of the training facilities at F.E. Warren AFB has not yet been determined by the Air Force, most Peacekeeper missile facilities could be reused by the Minuteman III missile program; consequently, potential on-base environmental impacts are assessed in a general manner. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would allow the U.S. to meet its international commitments under START II. The project would help ensure the continued disarmament of major nuclear powers. Landowners and county governments would benefit from the disposal of the MAF and LF sites. A small increase in arable land would occur. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hazardous waste removal would pose the danger of waste release. Demolition would cause ground acceleration and releases of materials into surface water and/or groundwater as well as short-term noise. The deeper excavation with the mechanical demolition of headworks could pose a storage problem given the limited space on the missile sites, and the stockpiled excavation materials would be subject to wind and water erosion. The hardened intersite cable system removal would disrupt adversely affect grazing, agriculture, water bodies, and roads. LEGAL MANDATES: Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty II.

Preparation date: December 15, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RANDLEMAN LAKE, GUILFORD AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36420339; 8299 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply project, 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. The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority (PTRWA) has applied for a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to discharge dredged or fill material in into waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The PTRWA would place fill material in the Deep River. Issues include the contamination of groundwater by toxic substances at the sites of the abandoned Seaboard Chemical Corporation and the closed High Point landfill, both of which are located along the Deep River adjacent to the proposed project; potential groundwater contamination from the Randleman town dump; direct discharge of effluent from the High Point Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) into the upper end of the lake, which would increase the lake's nutrient level as well as the concentration of several metals, including chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc; infiltration/inflow in the High Point wastewater collection system; the potential for overflows and bypasses at the Eastside WWTP; the potential for high nutrient loadings from dairy farms and urban runoff; and the long retention time for water passing through the proposed lake. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), are considered in this final 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 PTRWA. The project would also include a buffer area approximately 200 feet wide that would require 3,000 additional acres. Raw water obtained from Randleman Lake would be treated at a water treatment plant to be constructed in the lower portion of the lake and west of the US Highway 220 bypass. The estimated construction cost for the dam and reservoir project is $140 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, as well as 28 miles of main-stem stream and 121 acres of wetlands. It would require the acquisition of 6,000 acres and 237 properties and result in the displacement of 28 residences and one business.

AN - 36409450; 8294 AB - PURPOSE: The deployment of a national missile defense (NMD) program in Alaska, California, Massachusetts, and North Dakota is considered. The NMD system would be a fixed, land-based, non-nuclear missile defense system with a land- and space-based detection system capable of responding to limited strategic ballistic missile threats to the United States. The proposed Alaskan sites include Clear Air Force Station (AFS) in Denali Borough, Eareckson Air Station (AS) on Shemya Island, Eielson Air Force Base (AFB) in Fairbanks North Star Borough, Fort Greely, and Yukon Training Area in Fairbanks North Star Borough. The proposed California site is Beale AFB. The proposed Massachusetts site is Cape Cod AFS. The proposed North Dakota sites include Cavalier AFS in Pembina County, Grand Forks AFB in Grand Forks County, Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex (SRMSC) Missile Site Radar in Cavalier County, SRMSC Remote Spring Launch Site 1 in Ramsey County, SRMSC Remote Launch Site 2 in Cavalier County, and SRMSC Remote Spring Launch Site 4 in Walsh County. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to airspace restrictions from X-band radar (XBR) operation; construction and operation impacts on vegetation, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, wetlands, and fisheries; potential risks to the public from the transportation and operation of the ground-based interceptor (GBI); electromagnetic radiation impacts to wildlife and the public; socioeconomic impacts and benefits from NMD deployment; construction and operation impacts on local water quality; increases in hazardous waste generation; and increases in restricted public use around NMD deployment sites. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would not deploy the NMD system, are considered in this final EIS. If the initial decision were not to deploy under the No Action Alternative, the NMD program would use the time to enhance the existing technologies of the various system elements. The NMD program would also have the option to add new elements if and as they were developed. For potential sites being considered for NMD deployment, the No Action alternative would be a continuation of activities currently occurring or planned at those locations. Under the proposed action, NMD elements and element locations would be selected. The NMD main elements considered for deployment would include the GBI, in-flight interceptor communications system (IFICS) data terminal, XBR, upgraded early warning radar (UEWR), and satellite detection systems, the fiber optic line required to link some of the NMD elements, and battle management, command, and control (BMC2). Under the preferred alternative, an NMD system would be deployed at one GBI site with up to 100 silos. The preferred site for the GBI and BMC2 would be Fort Greely. Under this configuration, the XBR would be at Eareckson AS. The NMD system would make use of the UEWR and the existing satellite detection systems that would be in place at the time of deployment. Since the IFICS data terminals locations have not been identified, no preferred location has been selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NMD would be used to protect against non-nuclear missile attack. The development and deployment of the antimissile system would generate substantial employment and income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of NMD facilities would result in the displacement of land, possibly including wetland. The project could adversely affect geological, historical, and archaeological resource sites, depending on the sites chosen. In the unlikely event of a liquid propellant leak, hazardous materials would be released into the environment. Prairie potholes would lie in the path of some of the fiber optic cables in North Dakota. The construction of fiber optic facilities during harvest times for communities and subsistence users could interfere with harvest activities.

Preparation date: December 8, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW WILMINGTON OCEAN DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DESIGNATION, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36414497; 8279 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of an ocean disposal site for material dredged from the Wilmington Harbor, located in southeastern North Carolina, is proposed. The harbor consists of two primary components, specifically a system of deep-draft channels maintained by the federal government and berthing and loading facilities, including the North Carolina State Port and the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU). The harbor provides significant contributions to the local and state economies. The military port at MOTSU constitutes an important defense facility. The existing upland disposal and estuarine areas used for disposal of material dredged from the harbor during maintenance activities. Not all material dredged is suitable for beneficial uses such as beach replenishment. Accordingly, there is and will continue to be a need for a designated ocean disposal site. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would involve the designation of an ocean disposal site. Two sites are considered in detail. The preferred site lies near the WR6 navigational aid buoy south of Baldhead Island and the entrance to the Cape Fear River. The polygonal site would encompass an area of approximately 12.3 square nautical miles. The western edge of the site would parallel the heading of the navigation channel; however, the proposed site would be offset by 0.5 nautical miles from the extended centerline of the navigation channel. Depths in the area would range from 33 feet to 50 feet below mean lower low water. The shallowest depths would be sand features associated with Frying Pan Shoals. Resource surveys indicate that the site bottoms would be predominantly sand with low organic content. An action alternative involving non-ocean disposal is also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The designation and use of the site would allow the continued maintenance dredging of channels and berthing areas in Wilmington harbor, ensuring the continuation of the facility's contribution to the regional and local economies and it's national defense role. The would be located further from shrimping areas, reducing interference with shrimping activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The disposal of dredged material at the site would result in temporary, localized turbidity, smother benthos, and alter the benthic character of the area. Placing significant dredged material mounds would create navigational hazards in the area; however, appropriate charting, navigation aids, and communication with pilots should preclude any problems associated with this situation.

Data were analyzed using a turbulence-based method for calculating the apparent shear stress as a function of the fluctuation in channel velocities. A predictive expression was developed to permit the estimation of the apparent shear stress at the boundary of a main channel and floodplain as a function of the bed shear stress, average velocity, and depth in both the main channel and floodplain and the blockage caused by floodplain vegetation.

The modeling capability is applicable to predicting the gravity anomalies of objects such as buried UXO (prolate spheroid), land mines (oblate spheroid), underground storage tanks (prolate or oblate), landfills, and other localized features which can be approximated with a spheroidal geometry. The gravity anomaly signatures of ordnance items ranging from 105-mm projectiles to 16-in. projectiles and 2,000-lb bombs are modeled. Average lengths, diameters, masses, bulk density and density contrast are computed for 10 ordnance item types. The density contrasts of the ordnance items are assumed relative to a 2.0 g/cm3 soil, and range from 1.5 g/cm3 for large bombs (e.g., 2,000-lb bomb) to 5 g/cm3 for large projectiles (e.g., 16-in. projectile). Gravity anomaly signatures for these ordnance items are examined for maximum value (magnitude) and spatial wavelength to assess detectability. Relative to a nominal detection threshold (5 micronGal), all the items are detectable at the shallowest depth, i.e., buried horizontally at a depth to center equal to half the diameter or just below the surface. Only five items, 1,000-lb bomb and larger, are detectable at depths 0.5 m or greater, and only the 16-in. projectile is detectable at a depth of 1 m. The gravity anomalies of ordnance items will require measurement spacing of 0.25 to 0.75 m. An optimized survey detection (minimum) threshold (2 micronGal) will approximately double the predicted detection depths for the ordnance items but this minimum detection threshold will be difficult to achieve in the presence of geologic background anomalies. Results of a microgravity survey over a buried 155-mm projectile are presented. JF - ERDC/GSL Technical Report AU - Butler, D K Y1 - 2000/12// PY - 2000 DA - December 2000 SP - 44 PB - U. S.

Zebra mussels removed seston and excreted ammonia and soluble phosphorus in laboratory systems. When normalized with respect to ash-free dry mass (i.e., mu g g super(-1) AFD mass d super(-1)), smaller zebra mussels filtered seston and excreted soluble nutrients at a higher rate than larger zebra mussels. Although overall zebra mussel density is currently very low in Lake Pepin ( similar to 150 ind. m super(-2)), lakewide chlorophyll filtration rates of similar to 7 mg m super(-2) d super(-1) were equivalent to chlorophyll loading into Lake Pepin via external sources and represented a turnover of 11 days for chlorophyll standing crop in the lake. Lakewide estimates of excretion of soluble phosphorus of similar to 3 mg m super(-2) d super(-1) by zebra mussels in Lake Pepin were comparable to internal phosphorus loading from anoxic sediments in other eutrophic freshwater aquatic systems. Our results suggest that zebra mussels are currently having a modest impact on phytoplankton dynamics and P and N recycling in this system.

A flat at Sheep Island was constructed in 1989 and along with an adjacent reference area (REF) has been monitored for infaunal assemblage development and sediment texture since 1990. The second site, Beals Island, an example of a much older constructed flat (CF), has been monitored since 1991. Infaunal taxa richness, total numerical abundance, species composition, and diversity values were similar between the Sheep Island natural and constructed sites within two years of construction. At Beals Island, taxa richness and other diversity measures were similar between sites, however, abundance and total biomass values were lower at the constructed site. Although total biomass was also lower at the Sheep Island CF than its REF, biomass values at both constructed sites (Sheep Island and Beals Island) were within the range of values previously reported for natural flats.

AN - 36409552; 8272 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration project in the lower reaches of Guadalupe Creek, located in the southwestern portion of the city of San Jose in northern California, is proposed. The study area extends 1.7 miles from Almaden Expressway to Masson Dam. It is bordered on the north by residential development and the Los Capitancillos percolation pond system and on the south by Coleman Road. The Guadalupe Creek Restoration Project would offset the environmental impacts associated with the Downtown Guadalupe River Flood Protection Project and related projects to be undertaken in the future. The primary objective of the restoration project is to restore shaded riverine aquatic cover vegetation and improve aquatic habitat for anadromous fish (steelhead and Chinook salmon) in lower Guadalupe Creek. The restoration project comprises two separate planting and restoration phases. Phase 1 was completed in 1998 and included planting along 1,263 linear feet (lf) of the creek downstream from Masson Dam. Phase 2 of the restoration project would be implemented in June 2001. Issues include recreation and public access, flood protection, human health effects, bioaccumulation of mercury in wildlife, methods for transporting contaminated material excavated and removed from the project site, and physical and ecological functions of the creek corridor, including habitat for special-status species. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the Channel and Floodplain Modification Alternative) would emphasize modifying channel and floodplain surface via channel relocation, floodplain development, and bank stabilization. Floodplain excavation would extend beyond the 15-foot planting zone (relative to the low-flow channel) to compensate for reduction in flood conveyance capacity associated with planting riparian vegetation. It would involve shifting approximately 2,500 lf of existing stream channel, excavating and removing approximately 42,000 cubic yards (cy) of material and importing 13,000 cy of material to create suitable planting sites. Bank protection features would be installed on approximately 725 lf of bank. Approximately six acres of riparian vegetation and approximately lf of cover vegetation would be established. The estimated cost of the project is $8.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Species benefiting from the project would include steelhead trout and fall-run Chinook salmon. Physical processes and ecological functions along the study corridor would be restored, and existing flood conveyance capacity would be maintained. The recharge of groundwater aquifers would be generally enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would remove approximately 1.1 acres of low-quality riparian scrub and forest habitat, result in the loss of as much as 0.94 acre of riverine wetlands, temporarily affect as much as 0.6 acre of waters, not including wetlands, and approximately 5,000 lf of channel bank, expose unvegetated soil surfaces and have the potential to accelerate erosion and sedimentation, result in a short-term increase in traffic volume, result in a temporary increase in pollutant emissions in and around the project area, and result in a temporary increase in noise in and around the project area. Construction activities could disrupt migratory birds during breeding season, adversely affect all life stages of anadromous fish, remove or adversely affect five mature sycamore trees, remove or adversely affect plantings installed in Reach 4 under Phase 1 of the restoration project, disturb unknown cultural resources, result in temporary adverse impacts on water quality, could pose a hazard to human health by exposing soils with elevated mercury concentrations, generate mercury-contaminated dust in the project area, uncover non-mercury hazards or hazardous materials associated with previous land uses, create potential hazards associated with the stockpiling, treatment, transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, create potential hazards associated with the accidental release/spillage of hazardous materials, create potential hazards associated with the handling of hazardous materials within 0.25 mile of a school, temporarily obstruct emergency vehicle access to the project area, and create roadway operation safety hazards. The project could increase the downstream transport of mercury-bearing sediments, increase the potential for the formation of methyl mercury in the project reaches, and adversely affect fish and wildlife species through increased exposure to mercury. Construction activities and the irrigation of plantings could interfere with groundwater recharge in the project area. Irrigating newly planted vegetation would increase the demand for water in the project area. The consumption of fish caught in the Guadalupe River Watershed, including Guadalupe Creek, could pose a hazard to human health.

Preparation date: November 30, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR, HUNTER LAKE, SPRINGFIELD, SANGAMON COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36408499; 8253 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the placement of material in Horse Creek as part of the construction of a reservoir to supplement existing municipal water supplies of the city of Springfield, located in central Illinois, is proposed. The City of Springfield, acting through its municipal utility, City Water Light and Power, would construct a 3,010-acre water supply reservoir, to be known as Hunter Lake. Three stand-alone options and 18 combinations of options were identified as feasible and capable of providing sufficient yield to meet the projected demand. The stand-alone option include the Hunter Lake alternative, a full-scale well field in the Illinois River Valley, and a full-scale well field in the Havana Lowlands. The combinations evaluated in detail include a single well field in the Illinois River Valley in combination with a partial Sangamon River Valley well field network and a single well field in the Havanna Lowlands combined with a partial Sangamon River Valley well field network. In addition, three combinations options combining Lick Creek Reservoir with the sand and gravel pits and/or a Sangamon River Valley well field network were examined in detail. Under the applicant's preferred Hunter Lake option, the 3,010-acre reservoir would be created on a 7,795-acre site southeast of Lake Springfield and north of Pawnee. The reservoir would have a drought yield of 21.5 million gallons per day. The estimated capital cost of the project is $74.4 million, and the estimated annual maintenance costs are $455,000. Three alternatives, or permit decision options available to the District Engineer of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), which embrace all of the applicant's alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. The alternatives would include the issuance of the permit, the issuance of the permit with modifications or conditions, and the denial of the permit. The current permit application covers only the proposed construction of Hunter Lake. For this reason, all alternatives to that action identified and evaluated in the draft EIS, whether or not they would require a permit from the Corps to be implemented, are considered to be part of the Corps' No Action Alternative (i.e., denial of a permit for Hunter Lake). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the supplemental water supply source would allow the city to cope with periods of drought, ensuring water supply for human consumption and cooling water for the city's powerplants. Approximately 815 acres of littoral shore lacustrine wetlands would be created by the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project development would entail the displacement of 89 residences and two businesses, a campground, and a fertilizer sales and service operation. Total tax receipts foregone due to these displacements would amount to $150,000 per year. Agricultural land, forest, grasslands, and urban/developed areas constitute 48 percent, 35 percent, and three percent of the project area's land uses, respectively. Sixty farms, encompassing 3,781 acres, 4,014 acres of forested land, and 727 recorded historic sites, 117 of which would require further evaluation to determine eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, lie in the affected area. Existing county highways, bridges, township roads, and utility services would also be affected. Approximately 2,350 acres of floodplain would be affected and 318 National Wetlands Inventory wetland areas, encompassing 102 acres, would be inundated by the reservoir. Increased flood heights would affect 53 structures, already affected by the current 100-year flood event, downstream of the reservoir. Periodic drawdown of the lake would expose macrophytes to desiccation. Three wastewater treatment plants in the area would face permit limitations on effluent quality.

AN - 36406539; 8256 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project in the Thousand Palms area of the Whitewater River basin, located in southeastern California, is proposed. The 30-square-mile area, which lies in the Coachella Valley, is subject to flooding from the alluvial fan flows of the Indio Hills and from flows emanating from Long Canyon and Morongo Wash. The area is the last major undeveloped land mass within the upper Coachella Valley, though development has occurred in the vicinity and there seems to be a trend toward continuing development. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would consist of four levees and a 550-acre floodway that would protect the developed areas from flows from the Indio Hills, while allowing sediment carried by flood flows to be deposited in the wind corridor or directly in the Coachella Valley Preserve. The estimated annual cost of the preferred alternative is $2.35 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.4. The environmentally preferred alternative is Alternative 5d. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The levees would protect 1,700 acres of undeveloped alluvial fan as well as 1,100 acres of developed property. Average annual benefits from flood protection would be $3.77 million. Fluvial sediment transport would be preserved for the majority of Indio Hills, and the floodway to be created would maintain natural processes of sediment deposition and aeolian sorting. The preservation of the floodway within the wind corridor would result in a significant net gain in the deposition of sand. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 2.600 acres of land north of the Transmission Corridor Levee would remain unprotected from alluvial flooding. A small portion of Indio Hills sand, which would normally be transported by flood flows to the upper end of the wind corridor, could be blocked by the northern-most levee. Development allowed by the availability of flood protection could eventually block sediment transport to a preserve in the area.

Preparation date: November 17, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WESTERN SARPY/CLEAR CREEK FLOOD REDUCTION STUDY, LOWER PLATTE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, SARPY AND SAUNDERS COUNTIES, NEBRASKA. AN - 36395395; 8254 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood reduction measures along a 14-mile reach of the Lower Platte River, located in east-central Nebraska, is proposed. The study area includes the western Sarpy County levee reach on the left bank of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers from a point 2.5 miles upstream from their confluence downstream to the Nebraska State Highway 6 bridge as well as the Clear Creek levee reach on the right bank of the Platte River from a point seven miles upstream of the confluence of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers downstream to the Highway 6 bridge. The Sarpy reach has had a significant, long-term flooding problem. Past floods have primarily occurred during ice-affected seasons, though floods have also occurred during warmer months. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Two action alternatives would include a levee system that would contain the 151,0000-cubic-foot-per-second (151,000-csf) flood flow elevation resulting from the 50-year flood event. The third action alternative would result in a levee crest at the 130,000-cfs flood flow elevation resulting from a 30-year event. The tentatively selected plan (Plan 5) would provide for 151,000-cfs containment. The existing Western Sarpy levee upstream of Thomas Lake would be reconstructed and a new levee would be placed in areas currently lacking levee protection downstream of the lake. An environmental restoration project, to be implemented along with the flood control component, would involve the connection of an expired sand and gravel quarry to the Lower Platte River, the conversion of a sand pit lake into a 172-acre wetland/lake complex, and the creation of a four-acre nesting island for two endangered bird species within the lake. In addition, a flood reduction mitigation component would result in the conversion of 38 to 42 acres of cropland to riparian woodland and the conversion of a 40-acre borrow site to wet meadows and ponds. The estimated first cost of the tentatively selected plan is $18.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The levee system would significantly reduce flooding along the Platte River within the study area. Mitigation measures would enhance riverine and wetland wildlife habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Considerable ice-affected flood hazard would continue landward of the levees. Flood elevations would increase significantly downstream of the levee system, and the levees would increase the depth of flow over sandbars and the velocities of stream channel currents. Flood flows would be more concentrated between the levees, increasing channel scour and otherwise changing channel morphology. On the Western Sarpy side of the river, levee improvements would requiring the filling of 1.53 acres of wetlands. In addition, shade would be removed from 1.26 acres of heavily shaded wetlands, and 1.92 acres of pond would be filled. On the Clear Creek side of the river, 3.43 acres and one two-ace pond would be filled. Grasslands and woodland would be displaced by the levees as would 55 acres of prime farmland. The levee system could adversely affect nesting interior least terms and piping plovers and would adversely affect pallid sturgeon and sturgeon chub. The structures would result in the marring of visual aesthetics in the area and reduce access for recreational fishing. The project would result in the displacement of the residents of 27 homes.

Preparation date: November 17, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR, JOHNSON AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, ILLINOIS (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1995). AN - 36419796; 8248 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,172-acre water supply reservoir near the community of Creal Springs, located in southern 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 (LEWD), 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, 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. Some 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. A first draft supplement to the final EIS considered 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. This second draft supplement examines single-source options as well as combinations of separate alternatives to satisfy current and future water needs of Marion and the LEWD. Action alternatives would include obtaining raw or treated water from Rend Lake, obtaining water from Cedar Lake via a northern or southern pipeline route, obtaining water from the Cache River Aquifer, obtaining raw or treated water from Saline Valley, developing a reservoir near Goreville, developing a reservoir on Sugar Creek, combinations of these alternatives (one source supplying Marion and a separate source supplying LEWD), and combinations of multiple sources supplying Marion or LEWD. The estimated annualized costs of the alternatives considered in this second supplement are $3.47 million to $6.75 million for Marion and $2.5 million to $4.7 million for LEWD. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The impoundments would provide a dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities and opportunities for fishing and boating. The aquifer withdrawals would provide a dependable water supply to the affected areas and eliminate the inundation impacts associated with impoundments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would require the clearing of forest and cropland and would encroach on wetlands. Reservoir development would inundate additional agricultural lands, other vegetated acreage, and wetlands. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, could be lost as a result of reservoir development. The removal of groundwater from aquifers could result in substantial drawdown. Historic and prehistoric sites would be located in the project area.

Preparation date: November 16, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR PROJECT; ANOKA, BENTON, MORRISON, AND SHERBURNE COUNTIES, MINNESOTA. AN - 36419920; 8242 AB - PURPOSE: The development of transit elements for the Northstar Corridor, a transportation corridor, located in eastern Minnesota, is proposed. The corridor extends approximately 70 miles from downtown Minneapolis to St. Cloud, along Minnesota State Trunk Highway 10/47 (MN 10/47) and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad transcontinental route and is bordered on the west by the Mississippi River. It has regional, statewide, and national significance as a primary transportation route for automobile, truck, and rail travel. The corridor includes MN 10, a principal arterial and part of the National Highway System, and the BNSF's Staples-to-Selba sub, part of a mainline between Chicago and Seattle. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, which would include the maintenance of the existing roadway and transit system, along with committed and programmed transportation improvements for which funding has been committed through the year 2003, are considered in this draft EIS. The Commuter Rail Alternative would establish commuter rail service on the BNSF track between downtown Minneapolis and the St. Cloud area. It would incorporate elements of the No-Build Alternative as well as feeder bus improvements. Fourteen potential stations have been evaluated for the rail route. The Commuter Rail Alternative would also include a connection to the Hiawatha light rail transit line at the proposed multimodal station in downtown Minneapolis at Fifth Street North and Fifth Avenue North. The Transportation System Management (TSM) Alternative would include all elements of the No-Build Alternative, along with expanded bus service, ITS improvements, and pedestrian /bicycle facilities. Bus operation strategies under the TSM Alternative would include transit service enhancements, infrastructure improvements, and up to 11 additional park-and-ride facilities. The estimated capital costs for the TSM Alternative and the Commuter Rail Alternative are $49.7 million and $196.6 million to $200.3 million in 1999 dollars, respectively. The estimated annual operating costs for the No-Build Alternative, the TSM Alternative, and the Commuter Rail Alternative are $191.1 million, $3.4 million, and $12.8 million to $13.2 million, respectively; the operation cost figures for the TSM Alternative and the Commuter Rail Alternative do not include base costs for the No-Build Alternative, which would be incorporated into either of the other alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Commuter Rail Alternative would improve mobility and safety for travelers within the corridor, encourage transportation-supportive land use development patterns, and provide a cost-effective and efficient transportation system. Population growth and employment development in adjacent areas would be supported, and traveler use of mass transit would be encouraged, removing vehicular traffic from the corridor. Air quality within the corridor would improve and traffic-related noise adversely affecting adjacent receptors would decline. The TSM Alternative would assist in the achievement of the goals of the transit alternative, though to a lesser extent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The No-Build Alternative would not be fully consistent with regional and local land use and community development plans and would adversely affect the local quality of life, including neighborhood quality and commuting experiences. The TSM Alternative would result in the displacement of up to five residences and five businesses, 4.52 acres of wetlands, 0.8 acre of mature oak woodland, and the disturbance of potentially contaminated sites. The Commuter Rail Alternative would displace up to five residences and six businesses, disturb archaeological resources at three station sites, potentially alter significant architectural resources at four station sites, displace 7.23 acres of wetlands and 0.8 acre of mature oak woodland, adversely affect a high-quality prairie tract and habitat for the federally-protected loggerhead shrike and Blanding's turtle, disturb potentially contaminated sites, increase noise to levels in excess of federal standards at 15 residential receptor sites, and potentially result in excessive vibration at two residential sites.

Preparation date: November 14, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MURRIETA CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36417015; 8237 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project along Murrieta Creek, located in southeastern California, is proposed. In the absence of structural flood control solutions, flooding will continue to occur along the creek and downstream along the Santa Margarita River. Potential damage from future events could include flood inundation of residences and commercial structures in the cities of Murrieta and Temecula. An estimated 542 structures are located within the 100-year floodplain and therefore considered at risk. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The five structural alternatives would include combinations of channel modifications, levees, the purchase and preservation of floodplain land, and a multi-purpose detention basin. Alternative 2 would include channel modifications and floodwall construction in the stretch extending from Winchester Road downstream to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) just south of Old Town Temecula, the development of an ecological restoration area along Murrieta Creek and Warm Springs Creek, and the removal and replacement of the Main Street bridge. Alternative 3 would involve the construction of a multi-purpose detention basin on Murrieta Creek upstream of Warm Springs Creek, channel modifications from the Winchester Road to the USGS gage, the removal and replacement of the Main Street bridge, and the development of an ecological restoration area along Murrieta Creek and Warm Springs Creek. Alternative 4 would include the construction of a multi-purpose detention basin on Murrieta Creek upstream of Warm Springs Creek, channel modifications from the Winchester Road to the USGS gage, the removal and replacement of the Main Street bridge, and the acquisition of all land within the 100-year floodplain between Clinton Keith Road. All structures, except some roads, bridges, and utilities, would be demolished and removed from the floodplain, which would be preserved as open space. Alternative 5 would include the construction of a multi-purpose detention basin on Murrieta Creek upstream of Warm Springs Creek, channel modifications from the Winchester Road to the USGS gage, the removal and replacement of the Main Street bridge, the acquisition of all land within the 100-year floodplain between Clinton Keith Road, and the development of a combination of levees. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would involve the construction of a multi-purpose detention basin on Murrieta Creek upstream of Warm Springs Creek, channel modifications from the Winchester Road to the USGS gage, the removal and replacement of the Main Street bridge, and the development of a system of levees and channel widening from Tenaja Road to the detention basin. It would also involve the development of a public park and trail. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $89.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to protecting property and human health and safety within the floodplain, the project would prevent the loss of potential ecological restoration areas, elimination of infiltration zones, increases in peak discharges downstream, degradation of water quality, declines in water supply, bank erosion and related sedimentation, and loss of potential recreational areas. Wetland areas would particularly benefit. New recreational space would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the displacement of 15 structures, including 14 residences between Kalmia and Ivy streets. The public park and trail would undergo periodic flooding, presenting a danger to the safety of the public. Construction activities would result in downstream sedimentation and could result in the release of contaminated sediments as well as disturbances to cultural resource sites. Emissions from construction equipment would result in significant releases of nitrogen oxides and particulates, and noise generated would be significant for persons within 100 feet of a work site.

Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and four realignment alternatives, were considered in the draft EIS. Action alternatives addressed by the draft included reconstructing and paving the entire road to a consistent width; reconstructing the entire road to a consistent width and surfacing it to the existing surface type (i.e., pavement where currently paved and gravel where currently graveled); reconstructing and paving certain segments of road (i.e., those in greatest need of repair) to a consistent width and leaving the remainder of the road unchanged; and reconstructing and paving certain segments of the road (i.e., those in greatest need of repair) to a consistent width and rehabilitating the remaining segments of the road within the existing width. The travel lands plus shoulders of the reconstructed segments under each of the action alternatives would be 24 feet. The design speed of the various alternatives would range from 25 to 37 miles per hour. Following the construction, Park County and Clear Creek County would continue to own the road and be responsible for its maintenance. The estimated cost of reconstruction of the four draft EIS alternatives ranged from $25.4 to $40.1 million. The estimated maintenance costs over the next 20 years were $9.3 million for the No Action Alternative and at $4.8 to $7.5 million for the four action alternatives. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of June 1999 considers a fifth action alternative (Alternative 6), which would involve a combination of rehabilitation, light reconstruction, and full reconstruction of the existing facility. Alternative 6 would change the functional classification of the roadway from a local rural collector to a rural local road, allowing a lower design speed with tighter roadway curves and a narrower roadway width than the action alternatives outlined in the draft EIS. In addition, the alternative would also involve the use of a smaller design vehicle, allowing a sharper switchback curvature. Under Alternative 6, the estimated construction cost is $25.1 million and the estimated maintenance cost is $6.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a roadway width and surface capable of accommodating anticipated 2015 traffic volumes, but only if Clear Creek County, Park county, and the Town of Georgetown managed the vehicle size allowed on Guanella Pass Road, restrict commercial traffic, and manage the corridor land use and development to maintain the status of the road as a local rural road. It would improve safety by providing a consistent roadway geometry and reasonable protection from unsafe conditions, accommodate and control access to Forest Service facilities along the road, reduce the anticipated costs to the counties and town of maintaining the road, repair roadway drainage problems, and repair existing unvegetated slopes. Each of the changes incorporated into Alternative 6 would permit the facility to follow the footprint of the existing roadway more closely, reducing adverse environmental and historic resource impacts caused by construction and operation of the roadway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of access would place pressure on dispersed recreational resources. The project would adversely affect, indirectly, special status species, including Canada lynx, North American wolverine, and northern goshawk. Traffic noise would slightly degrade visitor experiences associated with the portion of the Mt. Evans Wilderness Area nearest the road. Depending on the alternative selected, the project could displace small parcels within the Geneva Creek Picnic Area, Whiteside Campground, Guanella Pass Campground, and the Georgetown-Silver Plume Historic Landmark District. Under Alternative 6, the project would result in the loss of 2.0 acres of wetlands. Action alternatives could adversely affect the visual quality of the historic district.

Preparation date: November 9, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAND CREEK WATERSHED ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION, SAUNDERS COUNTY, NEBRASKA. AN - 36410747; 8236 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of environmental restoration measures within the Sand Creek watershed, located in eastern Nebraska, is proposed. Sand Creek is a tributary of Wahoo Creek, a component of the Lower Platte River Basin. The 92-square-mile watershed lies within the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District. The watershed is subject by degraded aquatic environments, including the loss of wetlands and other natural habitats, stream channel instability, water quality problems, including high sediment and nutrient loads, and frequent flooding problems. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The tentatively selected alternative would involve the creation of a 960-care lake/wetland complex (Lake Wanahoo) in the lower reaches of Sand Creek near the city of Wahoo. The upper end of the lake would include a 149-acre sediment trap, and 90 acres of bottomlands within the floodplain immediately upstream of the lake would be restored as wetlands. The dam would serve as a new section of the Nebraska Highway 77 Expressway. The tentatively selected alternative would also involve the creation of seven small ponds (sediment trap/wetlands) in the upper reaches of the watershed. The ponds would range in size from 12 to 45 acres for a total of 184 acres of wetlands. The tentatively selected alternative would also involve the restoration of an additional 14 acres of bottomland wetland areas, 2 acres at each of the seven ponds. Lake Wanahoo would consist of a 639-acre reservoir, containing 6,700 acre-feet of water, located just north of the city of Wahoo, downstream of the confluence of Sand and Duck creeks. The lake would drain a 87-square-mile watershed. Sediment basins upstream of the lake would help reduce sediment and nutrient loads. Breakwaters, jetties, and armoring of the shoreline would be incorporated into the design of the lake to improve aquatic habitats and to minimize shoreline erosion. Wetlands at the margins and upper end of the lake would provide additional habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species and would enhance restoration of downstream habitats by minimizing erosion and reducing the velocity of flood flows. The area surrounding the lake would be designed to provide a variety of restored and created wetland and upland habitats, including bottomland wetland and Todd Valley wetlands, native grassland, and central deciduous forest which are scarce in the watershed. Approximately 900 acres surrounding the lake would be developed to meet recreational needs and to service as wildlife management area. The small ponds in the upper reaches of the watershed would range in size from 12 to 44.5 acres; all would be located in the headwaters and upper reaches of Sand and Duck creeks. The estimated cost of the project is $29.8 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to reducing flooding downstream from Lake Wahoo, the project would improve water quality and related habitat throughout the watershed, particularly due to reduction of sediment and nutrient loading. The plan would result in the annual removal of 71,035 tons of sediment, 44.7 tons of phosphorus, and 83.7 tons of nitrogen from surface waters within the watershed. Flood reduction benefits would be worth $133,570 annually. The restoration and creation of scarce habitat would provide conditions for the revitalization of wildlife populations in the watershed. The project would increase bottomland wetland by 104.4 acres, Todd Valley wetland by 10.25 acres, palustrine wetland by 641.3 acres, grassland habitat by 424 acres, and central deciduous forest by 42.2 acres. The provision of outdoor recreational opportunities associated with the lake would benefit residents and visitors to the area and generate $712,716 in benefits annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project facilities would displace 1,776 acres of taxable land as well as one residence and two businesses, resulting in an estimated annual loss to the tax base amounting to $31,844. Approximately 1,256 acres of prime farmland and 162.8 acres of mature riparian woodland would be displaced by the lake, ponds, and wetlands. Approximately 5.5 miles of stream channel and 11.3 acres of riverine wetland would be inundated.

Preparation date: November 9, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 15 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA STATE ROUTE 287 AND PRESHO, SR 6015, SECTION G20 AND G22 (PIN 6008.22.123), STUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND TIOGA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36410382; 8239 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 12-mile segment of existing US Route 15 (US 15) from the intersection of Pennsylvania State Route 287 (PA 287) near Tioga in northern Pennsylvania to the interchange at Presho in southern New York is proposed. The study area is rural, set in mountainous terrain with large areas of forested land and includes portions of Tioga Township, Lawrence Township, and Lawrenceville Borough in Pennsylvania and the town of Lindley in New York. US 15 is a major north-south route for long-distance travel through central Pennsylvania and New York. The demands placed by local, regional, interstate, and international traffic on the stretch of US 15 in the project study area exceed the capacity of the existing two-lane facility. All other sections of US 15 between Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Corning, New York, are either four-lane expressway sections or under construction or in design planning stages to become four-lane expressway sections. Conflicts between local and through traffic and a high accident rate characterizes the study segment, and operational problems occur during peak hours. The geometric features of the facility are substandard. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C-3-C) would involve the construction of a four-lane expressway with access primarily controlled via interchanges. Four river bridges and 11 other bridges would be required. A rest area and tourist information center would be included in the project design. The estimated cost of the project is $198 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved facility would accommodate local and long-distance travel demands for trucking, recreational, and other trips in a safe efficient manner. It would also reduce congestion currently affecting the section of highway, ensure sufficient capacity for the expected traffic growth in the corridor, improve safety by reducing conflicts between local and through traffic, and provide system continuity with other US 15 sections between from Williamsport and Corning. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the rights-of-way requirements would impact 649.6 acres, including 44.8 acres of developed land, resulting in the displacement of 19 residences and two businesses. It would also result in the loss of 133.2 acres of productive farmland, 603.2 acres of wildlife habitat, and 28.4 acres of wetlands. The facility would traverse 31.1 acres of floodplain land. The construction and operation of the facility would adversely affect 29 regulated watercourses, as well as directly impact 18 and indirectly impact 26 private water supply sources, and indirectly directly impact 7.2 acres within two public water supply areas. County tax base reductions due to property acquisition would total $35,435. Traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards would affect 160 residential receptors. One historic site would be adversely affected. Some 48.5 acres of land likely to contain prehistoric archaeological resources and 10.8 acres of land likely to contain historic archaeological resources would be disturbed.

Preparation date: November 9, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREEN/DUWAMISH RIVER BASIN RESTORATION PROGRAM, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36416797; 8230 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan for the Green /Duwamish River area, located in western Washington, is proposed. The rivers flow system flows through the North Cascades and the Puget Lowlands ecoregions. The program would aim at increasing amount, quality, diversity, and connectivity of fish spawning and rearing habitat as well as other aquatic habitat. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue current restoration activities, are considered in this programmatic final EIS. The Multi-Species Approach Alternative (Alternative 2) would emphasize maximizing the benefits to multiple species of fish and wildlife. The Single Threatened Species Approach Alternative (Alternative 3) would focus on habitat improvement for Chinook salmon. Three subalternatives are under consideration with respect to Alternative 2 and Alternative 3: Subalternative A, the Ecosystem/Habitat-Forming Method; Subalternative B, the Engineered Design and Constructed Habitat Method; and Subalternative C, the Integrated Method. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2C) would implement a program to restore ecological resources and processes that would benefit multiple fish, riparian, and other riverine wildlife species. It would focus on implementing balance of activities that would not be at the expense of maintaining or improving successful populations of other species. This approach would assume the restoration of larger areas of aquatic environment and riparian corridors and providing better connections to existing productive habitat that under the current management regime. Activities could include reducing barriers to fish passage by reconnecting old channels via removal of levees and other barriers on the middle Green River from Auburn Narrows and the lower mainstem to the mouth and replacing or improving culverts on tributaries too benefit a variety of salmonids; improving habitat forming processes by retraining or importing sediment into the middle Green River, particularly between Metzler O'Grady Park and Auburn Narrows, and importing large woody debris into the middle and lower Green River; increasing channel diversity by improving the channel cross-sections in all tributaries, but particularly in Smay, Sunday, Soos, Burns, and Newaukum creeks, and the entire Green river; additionally improving channel diversity by increasing tributary flows into the mainstem and implementing channel-forming flows in the middle and lower mainstem; improving estuarine habitat by creating deltaic habitat in saltwater areas that would benefit a variety of species including epibenthic organisms and a variety of fish species and their prey; and increasing streamside vegetation by planting along tributaries, particularly along the North Fork of the Green River and along Smay and Sunday creeks. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $115.9 million at October 1999 price levels. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would improve the physical nature of the degraded habitat, improve ecosystem functions and values (including riverine processes), and address important factors limiting habitat productivity. Channel depths and profiles would improve, streambanks would be stabilized, and local improvements in surface water patters would be realized. Both fish and aquatic invertebrates would benefit. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term increases in turbidity and sediment loads. The project could encounter contaminated soil and cultural resources. Soil and vegetation would be removed during the construction phase. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 3, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 71 LOCATION STUDY BETWEEN ROANOKE AND THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE LINE, CITIES OF ROANOKE AND MARTINSVILLE AND BEDFORD, BOTETOURT, FRANKLIN, HENRY, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. AN - 36410858; 8229 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Interstate Highway 73 (I-73) from the city of Roanoke to the North Carolina state line, located in southwestern Virginia, is proposed. The facility would be a four-lane, median-divided, fully-controlled-access highway. Congress designated I-73 as a National High Priority Corridor as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The priority corridor designation is intended to create links between the nation's regions and support economic growth. Needs were identified to improve freight movement between the port of Charleston, South Carolina, and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This would require an effective and efficient roadway facilitating interstate travel between Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North and South Carolina. In addition, to the needed link in southwestern Virginia to realize this mandate, the US Route 220 (US 220) corridor, within which the new highway would be located, is characterized by safety hazards associated with high levels of truck traffic, poor sight distances, steep grades, and a high accident rate. Issues include Archaeological and historic resources, wetlands, threatened and endangered species, prime farmlands, existing and future land uses, economic development, and access, mobility, linkage, and capacity in the region. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. A total of 52 segments were carried forward for consideration; these were combined into four primary options and several variations of those options ranging from a length of 64.3 miles to a length of 79.0 miles. Option 1 would be the easternmost alignment, beginning on I-81 in Botetourt County near Exit 150 and continuing south through western Bedford County and northeastern Franklin County before continuing southward through eastern Franklin and Henry counties. Option 2 would follow I-581 south, turn eastward south of Virginia State Route 24 to cross the Blue Ridge Parkway, continue southward in a route parallel to and east of US 220, rejoin the US 330 alignment for a short distance in southern Franklin County, depart from the US 220 corridor north of the Franklin/Henry County line and turn to the southeast crossing existing US 58 east of Laurel Park, continue along US 58 until rejoining US 220 south of Martinsville, and continue south to the North Carolina State line on a new route west of existing US 220 then rejoin existing US 220 south of Ridgeway in Henry County. Option 3 would follow the existing alignments of I-581 and US 220 and include the upgrading of existing US 220 to full interstate standards. Option 4 would be a western alignment beginning in western Roanoke County on I-81 at Exit 132. The alignment would proceed east, turn to the south near the western edge of the city of Salem, cross the Blue Ridge Parkway, continue south into Franklin County and, on the west side of existing US 220, pass through Roanoke and Franklin counties and into Henry County, rejoin US 220 east of Martinsville, leave US 220 again south of Martinsville, and return to US 220 south of Ridgeway for the remainder of the project. Also under consideration is a transportation system management alternative. The estimated cost of the TSM alternative is $146 million. Depending on the option and associated variation selected, the estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide safety improvements along the US 220 corridor, support economic growth and maintain economic competitiveness in the region, improve access and capacity for freight transporters through the study area, enhance general mobility and transportation linkage through both the immediate Roanoke-to-North-Carolina study area to and from other locations in the Michigan-to-South-Carolina target market, enhance general mobility and transportation linkage for the aforementioned study area and target market area, and address the need to include the portion of I-73 extending from Charleston, South Carolina, to Portsmouth, Ohio, be included as part of the Interstate Highway System. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the build options, the rights-of-way requirements would require the displacement of 340 to 707 residential units and 14 to 147 businesses. The project would result in the loss of 42 to 800 acres of commercial and industrial land, up to 13 churches, up to three other non-profit organizations, and possibly one historic structure. The project would result in the loss of 1,203 to 2,241 acres of farmland, 2,014 to 4,391 acres of forest, and up to 30 acres of public facilities.

AN - 36406391; 8228 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project for Chesterfield Valley, located in eastern Missouri, is proposed. The Great Flood of 1993, which overtopped and breached levees along the Mississippi River and its tributaries causing widespread damage to farms and communities, sparked national concern about the necessity and reliability of many flood control systems. One of the largest urban centers affected by the flood was in Chesterfield Valley, located 15 miles west of St. Louis along the west bank of the Missouri River between river miles (RM) 45 and RM 38.5. About 4,700 acres of Chesterfield Valley is protected by a privately constructed levee system that is owned and maintained by the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee District. During the early 1980s, the levee system was improved to provide 100-year frequency flood protection. The 1993 flood breached the levee systems, resulting in business closure, evacuation of residents, and disruption of the transportation system. The estimated flood damages totaled $200 million. Emergency repairs were made to the levee which, authorities determined, had breached due to inadequate seepage control measures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Plan (Plan A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Plan C) would involve raising the existing levee to provide protection against the 500-year flood profile plus three feet to decrease the risk of overtopping. The levee height between RM 38.01 and RM 43.9 would be raised to 475.01 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Landside levee enlargements would occur from the Centaur Road closure to US 40. In reaches requiring underseepage control measures, a minimum 150-foot-wide, five-foot-thick seepage berms would be created. The remaining portion of the levee along Bonhomme Creek would have a variable setback. Earthen materials for the levee improvements would be provided by the local sponsor from surrounding lands. The levees and closure structures would be connected to a continuous line of protection by reinforced concrete floodwalls. Relief wells and new pumping plants would be required. The estimated first cost of construction is $58.1 million, and the estimated average annual operation and maintenance costs are $85,506. The estimated benefit-cost ratio of the project is 2.06. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of protection against the 500-year flood would protect human health and safety as well as commercial and transportation infrastructure. The plan would provide an estimated $3.82 million in annualized inundation damage reduction and other benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project activities would result in the loss of up to 3.73 acres of open wetlands, 2.36 acres of farmed wetlands, 3.41 acres of forested wetlands, and 0.07 acres of emergent wetlands, though these impacts would be mitigated by creation of additional wetlands elsewhere. The project would require the relocation of overhead power transmission lines and buried gas lines at 20 locations. Two railroad line closures and three road closures would be required. The removal of borrow material would adversely affect farmland and bottomland forest along the river.

AN - 36342401; 12586 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, fully controlled access highway within the Interstate 73 (I-73) corridor in Bedford, Botetourt, Franklin, Henry, and Roanoke counties and the cities of Roanoke and Martinsville, Virginia is proposed. The facility would extend from I-81 near Roanoke City to the North Carolina state line. Congress designated I-73 as a National High Priority Corridor as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The priority corridor designation is intended to create links between the nation's regions and support economic growth. Needs were identified to improve freight movement between the port of Charleston, South Carolina and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. This would require an effective and efficient roadway facilitating interstate travel between Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North and South Carolina. In addition, to the needed link in southwestern Virginia to realize this mandate, the U.S. 220 corridor, within which the new highway would be located, is characterized by safety hazards associated with high levels of truck traffic, poor sight distances, steep grades, and a high accident rate. This final EIS addresses a No-Build Alternative, 11 build alternatives, and a transportation system management (TSM) alternative. A total of 52 segments were carried forward for consideration in the draft EIS; these were combined into four primary options and several variations ranging from a length of 64.3 miles to a length of 79.0 miles. This final EIS identifies a preferred alternative, known as the Adopted Location Corridor, which includes full alignment, engineering, and impacts details; the highway would extend 72 miles. Capital cost of the project is estimated at $2.8 billion in 2007 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide safety improvements along the U.S. 220 corridor; support economic growth and maintain economic competitiveness in the region; improve access and capacity for freight transporters through the study area; enhance general mobility and transportation linkage through both the immediate Roanoke-to-North-Carolina study area to and from other locations in the Michigan-to-South-Carolina target market; enhance general mobility and transportation linkage for the aforementioned study area and target market area; and address the need to include the portion of I-73 extending from Charleston, South Carolina to Portsmouth, Ohio be included as part of the Interstate Highway System. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 249 residences, 60 businesses, four churches, one fire station, two miscellaneous non-profit organizations, 756 acres of residential land, 1,715 acres of farmland, 1,193 acres of commercial and industrial land, 3,370 acres of forest, 21.3 acres of wetlands, and 12 acres of public/institutional land. The project would traverse 112 streams and 19 floodways. Habitat for the Roanoke logperch, a federally protected species, would be affected. One historic property would be affected visually, but would not be displaced. The facility would mar views from the Blue Ridge Parkway and general degrade visual aesthetics in a rural area. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 2,062 residential properties. Construction workers would encounter 61 hazardous materials sites.

A heightened public interest has emerged to restore wetland acreage that has dwindled away over the past 50 years. Dredged material was thought to be of potential value in wetland creation or restoration. This report presents the results of a field survey of existing wetland sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dominant plants, of existing wetland sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dominant plants, animals (where present) and wetland soil from selected marine and estuarine wetlands were sampled and analyzed for contaminants. These data will be used to establish a wetland reference database. Sediment biological and chemical test results concentrations will be compared to the reference database to evaluate its potential use in wetland creation.

The availability of these data is allowing researchers and analysts to detect and quantify a wide range of materials that possess unique spectral signatures in the reflected optical spectrum. The advantage of hyperspectral data is the availability of a full compliment of narrow spectral bands usually covering the ultraviolet through the short-wave infrared (350 run - 2500 nm). We have successfully tested the capability of the HYMAP hyperspectral sensor to characterize bacterially-mediated iron oxide precipitates associated with acid and circumneutral discharges at Contrary Creek, Mineral Virginia. Contrary Creek is the site of several abandoned metal mines in Virginia's Gold-Pyrite Belt and exemplifies the problems associated with orphaned mine lands throughout the Commonwealth. Using field spectrometers we obtained in situ signatures for precipitates and associated ground features. Within the imagery, these field data were used to calibrate and spectrally match areas of acid and neutral precipitates occurring at the creek to detect and map the discharge locations. The unique spectral properties of the iron oxide precipitates permitted their separation and classification in image space. Spectral separation of acid versus neutral precipitates was found to be consistent with recent data obtained from contaminated streams in the both the Pennsylvania coal fields and other Virginia metal mine sites as well as measurements obtained by others for similarly impacted watersheds. As hyperspectral data becomes more available, it should soon be possible to inventory rogue discharges associated with orphaned mine lands based upon iron oxide precipitates.

Juvenile salmonids included subyearling and yearling chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and yearling coho salmon O. kisutch, steelhead O. mykiss, and sockeye salmon O. nerka. Generated sounds were predominated by 300-Hz and 400-Hz frequencies and transmitted as 2-s crescendos, with repeated amplitude ramps from 0 to about 160 decibels referenced to 1 mu Pa at 1 m every 2 s. Sound-on and sound-off treatments did not differ significantly in the mean number of fish passing north or south across the upstream end of the array, where the angle of incidence of flow was only about 5 degrees. The power of these one-tailed t-tests ( alpha = 0.05) for detecting 50% differences in means was 82% for fish passing north across the array and 99% for fish passing to the south. We also counted smolts in front of four turbine intakes using fixed-aspect hydroacoustic equipment and found no significant differences in the mean number of smolts upstream of intakes during 4-h sound-on and sound-off treatments. The statistical power of 4-h tests was 98% or greater for detecting differences in means as small as 20% ( alpha = 0.05 in a two-tailed analysis of variance and a one-tailed t-test). To help corroborate and interpret the negative results obtained in the field experiment, in 1997 we evaluated reactions of captive schools of subyearling chinook and coho salmon and yearling sockeye in a net-pen to the same 300-400-Hz signal. We observed no startle reactions and found that the frequency of avoidance of the signal was no greater than the frequency of coincidental avoidance during control trials without sound. After exposure to the 300-400-Hz signal, one school of subyearling chinook exhibited nondirectional startle responses to 150-Hz or 180-Hz sound, indicating that those fish could respond. We conclude that the 300-400-Hz signal did not influence the behavior or distribution of juvenile salmon in either study.

The process has led excluded federal agencies and others to assert that ILF programs may compromise the regulatory goal of no-net-loss of wetland acres and functions. The potential for ILF mitigation to advance the no-net-loss regulatory goal is evaluated, and analyses of seven ILF programs reveals that many specific criticisms of ILF mitigation are invalid. However, ILF programs were suggested to benefit from regulatory guidance on procedures for program cost accounting and fee setting.

AN - 16341825; 8223 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project on Lower Mission Creek to protect the city of Santa Barbara, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The Mission Creek drainage area is located in and adjoining Santa Barbara, approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Santa Barbara has experienced approximately 20 damaging floods since 1900. Urbanization over the course of the twentieth century has undoubtedly contributed to the increased runoff within the watershed. Unless flood control measures are taken within the watershed, the city will continue to sustain damages due to inadequate channel capacity and undersized bridges. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Each action alternative would increase channel capacity to 3,400 cubic feet per second and provide a 20-year level of protection. Channel improvements would occur for approximately the last mile of the creek between the Canon Perdido Street Bridge at the upstream end and the Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge near the outlet. The National Economic Development and tentatively recommended plan (Alternative 12) would include maintaining the natural creek bottom, replacing four bridges, streamlining bedslope, installing a culvert that bypasses the oxbow, stabilizing creek banks using a combination of vertical walls and vegetated riprap, and constructing habitat zones and a wetland. Creek width would range from 60 to 70 feet at the top within the project reach. The average depth of the reconstructed would be eight to 12 feet. These dimensions would be maintained continuously. Approximately 82,000 cubic yards (cy) of material would be excavated from the creek. Some of the excavated material would be stockpiled in the staging area located along the creek bank; the remaining material would be transported to disposal sites located within a radius of approximately 10 to 20 miles of the project reach. Approximately 17,000 to 18,000 cy of material would be utilized in the project construction as fill material. Bridges to be replaced would include those carrying Ortega Street, Cota Street, De La Vina Street, and Mason Street. Six small parcels of open land would be planted with native and riparian vegetation to expand the corridor of riparian habitat and to provide recreational opportunities. Wetland construction would occur in the vicinity of the oxbow formation area just upstream of US Highway 101 (US 101). Rock energy dissipaters would be located between Canon Perdido Street and a point below the Ortega Street Bridge and between the upstream side of the Gutierrez Street Bridge and the upper bend of the natural oxbow immediately upstream of US 101. The project would be completed over a two-year period. The estimated cost of the project is $18.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The tentatively selected alternative would provide maximum incidental environmental benefits as well as flood control and recreational benefits. The mix of residential, commercial, and public properties along the affected stream corridor would be protected against major flood damages. Increasing the extent of soft bottom would enhance groundwater recharge. Streambank habitat would increase by 0.75 habitat units. The stabilization of the streambank would improve stream aesthetics. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would require the demolition of 14 complete and two partial structures, including the complete removal of one commercial building, four single-family residences, and five multifamily residential units. Incidental impacts to tidewater gobies, a federally-protected species, would occur during construction and maintenance activities. From 12 to 15 trees would be removed. Two hazardous sediment areas would be encountered during the construction. Eleven historically-significant structures would be adversely affected.

AN - 16352411; 8219 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to control flooding on the Rio de Flag River affecting the city of Flagstaff, located in northern Arizona, is proposed. The study area consists of that stretch of Rio de Flag extending from where it enters the city to the point at which the river crosses under US Route 66, east of Continental Estates. The consequence of a major flood would be such that it would take the community several years to recover and rebuild. Approximately 1,500 existing structures, valued at $395 million would suffer approximately $93 million n damages from a 100-year flood. Over half of the city's population of 60,000 would be directly affected by a large flood. Structural damage would affect historic properties, the Northern Arizona University, the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railroad and its primary east-west operations as well as public infrastructure and services. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6B, the Recommended Plan) would include a single detention basin along the Clayton Avenue Wash and channel modifications along the Rio de Flag and Clay Avenue Wash alignments. It would include flood control features at Thorpe Park (floodwalls, small embankments, and road elevation) and modifications to three bridges upstream of Thorpe Park. It would include a two-block-long covered channel segment along the downtown reach of the Rio de Flag. The covered channel would extend from dale Street downstream to Birch Avenue. The underground channel would eliminate the need to acquire and demolish homes along the downtown reach of the Rio de Flag. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $24.1 million, of which $15.5 million would be federally funded. The estimated benefit-cost ratio for the project is 1.33. The estimated recreation facilities costs are $336,250, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio attributed to recreational facilities is 1.93. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide economic benefits in a regional approach that includes the Continental Estates area downstream of Flagstaff. Additional benefits would include the protection of historic resources, environmentally-friendly flood control features, recreational opportunities, and long-term regional and social benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of detention basins and channel alterations would result in substantial, through short-term, degradation of water quality due to increases in turbidity. Channel alterations would also change the character of the historic Rio de Flag and Clay Avenue Wash. Small expanses of riparian wetlands and other wetlands would be lost, but these impacts would be mitigated by creation of additional wetland elsewhere. Historic structures would lie within the area to be graded for the detention structures. One ranch house and up to 15 mobile homes would be displaced. Noise impacts from blasting would be significant and unavoidable. The covered channel segment along the downtown reach of the Rio de Flag would adversely affect aesthetic resources.

AN - 16340843; 8218 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of a berm and dune system to provide beach erosion control and hurricane protection along 14.8 miles of oceanfront at Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head, located on the Outer Banks in eastern North Carolina, is proposed. A significant portion of the shoreline reach is rapidly eroding. Numerous structures in this area have been damaged by storm action. Moreover, with an eroded natural dune system, the area is highly vulnerable to future storm action. The project would include two project segments, a North Project Area and a South Project Area. The North Project Area extends 4.1 miles along Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk and the South Project Area extends 10.7 miles along Nags Head. These are the only two project areas within the 20-mile-long primary study area where there is a federal interest and improvements are economically justified. Issues include the effects to socioeconomic resources, marine resources, terrestrial resources, threatened and endangered species, recreation and aesthetic resources, and cultural resources. Several alternatives, including non-structural measures, dunes and/or berms of various dimensions, and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The non-structural measures and the No Action Alternative were found to be economically unfeasible, not addressing the planning objectives. The proposed action would be the alternative plan that would have the greatest net National economic Development (NED) benefit or the NED plan. It would consist of the initial construction and periodic nourishment of a vegetated dune with a crest elevation of 13 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) and a berm 50 feet wide at seven feet NGVD. An approximate 3,000-foot transition would be included on both ends of each segment. The source of sand for initial construction and periodic nourishment would be two borrow sites, covering an area of about seven square miles, located one to two miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. The estimated first costs of the south and north projects are $48.9 million and $22.7 million, respectively. The estimated respective annual costs are $10.9 million and $7.3 million. The respective estimated benefit-cost ratios are 2.4 and 1.3. The estimated overall benefit-cost ratio for the NED plan is 1.9 to 1.0. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing protection against hurricanes and other storm damages and beach erosion control, the project would enhance the beach strand available for recreational use. Additional beach habitat would also be available for wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The deposition of the berm and dune material would create temporary turbidity in the nearshore area and destroy nearshore benthic habitat and benthos. The removal of sand from offshore borrow sites would also create temporary turbidity and destroy benthos in the affected areas, though benthic habitat would regenerate in such areas. Beach users would be temporarily inconvenienced during the initial construction and maintenance.

Preparation date: October 20, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA ANA RIVER MAINSTREAM PROJECT INCLUDING SANTIAGO CREEK, SAN TIMOTEO CREEK REACH 3B, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16350168; 8217 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of flood control facilities along San Timoteo Creek in an area referred to as Reach 3B, located in southeastern California, is proposed. The creek is a tributary of the Santa Ana River. The San Timoteo Creek Reach 3B Project would provide flood protection within the existing 100-year floodplain from its downstream (northwestern) limit of Barton Road, near the community of Bryn Mawr in the city of Loma Linda, through an unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, to its upstream (southeastern) limit of Alessandro Road, which lies in the city of Redlands. Shortly after construction started on San Timoteo Creek's lower reaches (Reaches 1, 2, and 3), public opposition to extending a concrete-lined channel upstream to San Timoteo Canyon Road increased. The public expressed concerns about the aesthetics of a concrete channel and its potentially adverse effects on biological resources, recreation, and groundwater recharge. As a result, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors requested that the Army Corps of Engineers evaluate alternatives to the Reach 3B portion of the flood control project. Seven alternatives, including a No Action/No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A, Alternative B, Alternative C, and Alternative D would have similar components. Each would convey flows into a series of in-channel sediment basins that transition downstream to a 1,400-foot-concrete channel at California Street. The transition would connect with Reach 3A, located 400 feet upstream of Barton Road. The project would also include parapet walls along a portion of Reach 3A, soil cement side slopes, an inlet structure, a maintenance access road/trail easement, access ramps, an environmental corridor, limited fencing, the replacement of Beaumont Avenue Bridge, utility relocations, side drain connections, and two recreational areas. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would incorporate 18 sediment basins and drop structures. Alternative E would involve the construction of eight sediment basins upstream of San Timoteo Canyon Road and levees along the 100-year floodplain boundary downstream of San Timoteo Canyon Road to California Street as well as a spillway transitional structure at California Street. The Currently Approved Plan would involve six in-channel sediment storage basins within the upstream area transitioning to an outlet spillway and rectangular channel under San Timoteo Canyon Road. A concrete channel would extend approximately 10,600 feet downstream of the most downstream basin at San Timoteo Canyon Road to the existing concrete channel at Reach 3A. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternatives would extend flood control upstream of San Timoteo Canyon road to the maximum extend possible, providing flood protection within the 100-year floodplain without impacting existing high quality habitat. It would also provide erosion control for the most critical erosion area adjacent to the railroad, reduce right-of-way requirements downstream of San Timoteo Canyon Road, limit adverse impacts to orange groves and other agricultural land uses, create an opportunity for establishing habitat in the basins, preserve and enhance groundwater recharge, and provide for recreational opportunities, trails, and aesthetic treatments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would result in a net loss of agriculturally productive land and the displacement of one residence. The project would also result in the loss of 4.35 acres of Riversidian alluvial fan scrub, 0.01 acre of Riversidian sage scrub, 1.27 acres of elderberry savanna, 1.24 acres of southern cottonwood-willow riparian forest, 0.92 acre of southern willow scrub, and 14.04 acres of mulefat scrub. Direct adverse impacts to habitat for the least Bell's vireo and southwestern flycatchers, both federally-protected species, would be significant. The removal of citrus groves and the presence of drop structures would degrade visual aesthetics. Construction-related noise would exceed federal standards for some receptors. The potential for exposure to undocumented hazardous materials and waste sites would be present during the construction, and the demolition of some structures could result in the release of asbestos. Project activities would take place in an area known to contain abundant paleontological resources.

Preparation date: October 19, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST VIRGINIA STATE ROUTE 9 (FEDERAL PROJECT NUMBER HPDS-9215(004)S), CHARLES TOWN TO VIRGINIA LINE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 16340636; 8216 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of West Virginia State Route 9 (WV 9) from US Route 340, as known as the Charles Town Bypass, to the Virginia state line, located in northeastern West Virginia, is proposed. The project would involve an approximately 6.0-mile section of existing WV 9, which would be upgraded to a four-lane, partially-controlled-access highway. Numerous safety and geometric deficiencies exist between the two identified termini. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final 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 Loudoun County in Virginia. The roadway would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction, a minimum 40-foot median, ten- to 12-foot paved right shoulders, and three- to six-foot paved left shoulders. Under one of the build alternatives (Alternative A), the facility would run parallel to existing WV 9 for most of its length; while under the other four alternatives, it would follow an alignment roughly one-half mile north of existing WV 9. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative E), the 4.6-mile facility would begin at a trumpet interchange on the Charles Town Bypass, approximately 3,250 feet north of the existing WV 9 interchange. The alignment would proceed southwest to an at-grade intersection at Cattail Run Road. A minor shift to the south in this area would minimize impacts to a historic property. West of the Shenandoah River, the alignment would turn eastward and cross the river downstream of the hydroelectric dam. Continuing southeast, the alignment would terminate at the state line. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $45.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, the facility would improve highway safety in the project area and overall level of service to motorists by increasing intersection and highway capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of three residences and the loss of 0.29 acres of wetlands, 94.9 acres of forest, and 95.4 acres rangeland. The preferred alternative would result in the loss of 46.1 acres of productive farmland and adversely affect four farm operators. It would result in the loss of 410 feet of perennial stream and adversely affect an additional 2,340 feet of perennial stream. It would require the purchase of 0.12 acres of the Appalachian National Trail and adversely affect two historic structures. It would also cross three potentially contaminated sites.

Preparation date: October 18, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER NEWPORT BAY ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION PROJECT, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16352395; 8215 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration project for the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, located in southwestern California, is proposed. Newport Bay is on the coast of Orange County, approximately 40 miles south of Los Angeles and 75 miles north of San Diego. The Upper Newport Bay, one of the largest coastal wetlands remaining in southern California, is an ecological resource of national significance. The 1000-acre Upper Bay is characterized by development in its lower reach and a 752-acre undeveloped ecological reserve in its upper reach. The reserve supports a wide variety of resident and migratory species that use the open water, intertidal mudflats, saltmarsh, and surrounding terrestrial habitats. Numerous threatened and endangered species reside in the reserve including the largest population of clapper rail in the United States. Increased levels of sedimentation and nutrients from the San Diego Creek watershed and other ecological changes are adversely affecting the reserve. Urban development has resulted in the profound alteration of the area. Storms have exacerbated these problems. Several combinations of sediment basins designed to resolve these problems were studied using numerical models average storm inflows and varying storm flows to compare the performance of six initial alternative designs. Four viable basin configurations to trap sediment were identified. Four sediment control alternatives and a No Project Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Restoration measures were added to the design of all alternatives with some exclusion based on the different designs of the sediment basins. The restoration measures would include channels around salt marsh islands and wetland creation in old dredge spoil areas. The frequency of maintenance dredging was determined by investigating several criteria, including the need to dredge the basins before deposition would lead to changes in habitat types. The recommended plan (Alternative 6) would deepen the uppermost basin (Unit III basin) to minus-20 feet mean sea level (MSL), expand Unit II basin's footprint but retain the mudflats in the northeast corner, and create a channel between Hot Dog Island and the shore. It would also expand the lower basin (Unit II basin) to the west, deepen Unit II basin to minus-20 feet MSL, and restore the side channel around New Island. It would also remove the more northerly, kidney-shaped least tern island in Unit III basin and create a least tern island at the main dike near the Unit II basin. Dredging alternative include the large clamshell dredge alternative and the small hydraulic dredge alternative. Approximately 2.0 million cubic yards of material would be dredged and disposed in the LA-3 ocean dredged material disposal site, located on the slope of Newport Canyon. Six habitat restoration measures were analyzed and would be implemented with any of the sediment control alternatives. The restoration measures would include the addition of sand to the least tern islands, the construction of small dendritic channels through the marsh, the restoration of wetlands in filled areas, the restoration of side channels, the restoration of eelgrass beds in lower portions of the Upper Bay, and the removal of segments of the main dike. Initial activities would be completed over approximately two years. Maintenance dredging would occur once every 21 years. The estimated cost of plan implementation is $32.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall result of the project would be to control the deposition of sediment in the ecological reserve, maintaining a balance across open water, mudflat, and marsh areas. The recommended plan would result in improvements to water quality. Habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other wildlife would be protected and enhanced. The restoration of the side channel would result in beneficial impacts by decreasing the intrusion of predators. Recreational boaters would be protected against the dangers of shoaling. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy most of the benthic invertebrates within the dredge area; however, because of the length of time between dredging activities, benthic invertebrate diversity could be re-established. Access for canoeing and kayaking in the upper portion of Upper Newport Bay would be constrained during dredging. Dredging equipment would emit nitrous oxides in exceedance of federal standards and could disturb bird species and result in noise standard violations.

Its volume is about 10 billion m super(3), or about 15 times the annual groundwater recharge of that region. Special problems relate to the flooding and future use of remaining pits. With regard to water quality (acidification) it is necessary to accelerate the natural filling process by supplying surface water. This depends on its availability, as well as on the regional water balance. For the Lusatian river basins, long-term water resource planning models exist. These models combine on a monthly basis a stochastic simulation model of runoff with a deterministic analysis of water demand and availability of water resources. Based on these models, the overall and long-term water management strategies are developed. To control the daily water balance and to supply water for flooding the remaining pits, a short-term control model is now under development. It is based on the long-term strategy, but takes into account the actual runoff of the region, discharge in the rivers and water consumption. In this paper both the models and their applications are discussed.

AN - 16356434; 8208 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water and habitat management plan for the Wolf River basin ecosystem, located in the Memphis area of southwestern Tennessee, is proposed. The 819-square-mile basin extends into northern Mississippi. The river extends 86 miles and includes parts of Shelby, Fayette, and Hardeman counties in Tennessee and parts of Marshall, Benton, and Tippah counties in Mississippi. The major water resource problems of the basin are centered around headcutting in the channel of the lower Wolf River, urbanization, and sediment deposition in the upper basin. In the lower basin, the channel is headcutting and the adjacent wetlands are becoming too dry to support some wetland species. In the upper basin, the channel is filling with sand and the adjacent bottomland hardwoods are becoming too wet to support hardwoods. The major concerns raised were related to land acquisition and necessary right-of-way easements, as well as hydrological impacts to adjacent landowners. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan (Plan 8) would include the construction of six main channel weirs and 18 tributary weirs for grade stabilization, two cutoff prevention weirs on the main channel, trails and wildlife corridors in Shelby County, and boat ramps. Channel restoration along three miles of the original channel and associated meanders near the community of Rossville would be undertaken to restore more natural hydraulic and hydrologic regimes to the river. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $10.9 million, and the estimated average annual cost is $876,000. The estimated fully funded cost of the plan is $11.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The full implementation of the recommended plan would be expected to produce net environmental benefits of 2,189 annual habitat unit values, and 174,728 waterfowl use days. Recreational features, included at the request of local interests, would provide access to existing and restored environmental resources and meet a documented need for additional recreational opportunities in the area. The annual recreational benefits would total $520,850. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately one acre of land would be displaced for boat ramp construction near Piperton in Fayette County. Cultural resource surveys would be required to identify historical and archaeological sites that could be damaged by project actions. Two historic structures have been identified in the study area.

Preparation date: October 13, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT, TUKWILA ROUTE, SEATAC, SEATTLE, AND TUKWILA, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1999). AN - 16344938; 8212 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an electric light-rail transit system by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) in the Central Puget Sound metropolitan region (Seattle, Tukwila, and SeaTac), located in west-central Washington, is proposed. The light-rail system, to be known as Central Link, would operate in an exclusive and semi-exclusive right-of-way between North Seattle and the city of SeaTac. The project would constitute a component of Sound Move, the 10-year program for regional high-capacity transportation. Issues include the effects on transit service, ridership, accessibility, roadways, freight movements, navigable waterways, land use, economics, neighborhoods, visual and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise levels, ecosystems, water resources, geology, hazardous materials, public services, utilities, parklands, and historic and archeological resources. Several alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, two light-rail length alternatives, 24 rail route alternatives, 61 station options, and three alternative maintenance base sites, were considered in the final EIS. With 24 to 29 miles of light-rail line, the corridor is divided into six geographic segments, including Segment A, Northgate to University District; Segment B, University District to Westlake Station; Segment C, Westlake Station to South McClellan Street; Segment D, South McClellan Street to Boeing Access; Segment E, Tukwila; and Segment F, SeaTac. For each segment, two to five route alternatives were considered. The segment alternatives would be linked to create a complete, operable light-rail system. System length alternatives would extend from the city of SeaTac, just south of Seattle-Tacoma (SeaTac) International Airport, to either Northeast Forty-Fifth Street (the University District) or Northgate in Seattle. Depending on the final decision with respect to alternative options, the estimated costs of the project, as in the final EIS, are $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. Locally preferred alternatives were identified for all but one segment, but no decision was made within the final EIS by the federal authorities. This draft supplement to the final EIS of November 1999 considers an alternative route through the city of Tukwila (Section E). The Tukwila Freeway Route selected by Sound Transit would primarily follow Tukwila International Boulevard, also called Washington State Route 99 (SR 99), utilizing both elevated and at-grade sections in the median of the roadway. The alternative route evaluated in this supplemental EIS would follow East Marginal Way, SR 599, Interstate Highway 5, and SR 518; most of the line would be on elevated structures within the existing freeway rights-of-way. Stations would be located at Boeing Access Road and South 154th Street. An alignment option on the east side of East Marginal Way and a future potential station at South 133rd Street are also evaluated. The supplemental EIS compares the information on the project route through Tukwila with information on a part of the route through SeaTac (Section F). The estimated capital cost of the Tukwila Freeway Route alternative is $273 million and the estimated annual operation and maintenance costs are $50.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By 2020, the Tukwila Freeway Route would serve 3,800 daily riders and 156,100 system riders. The Freeway Route would be consistent with regional transportation goals and objectives. The Tukwila Freeway Route would be part of an electric light rail system that would connect the region's major activity centers, provide a practical alternative to driving a car on increasingly congested roadways, support comprehensive land use and transportation planning, provide environmental benefits, and improve mobility for travel-disadvantaged residents in the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Tukwila Freeway Route development would result in the acquisition of 26 full properties, 33 partial properties, and nine residential properties. It would also result in the displacement of two businesses and nine employees. The development would affect historic Farmstead and the facility would be located near several additional properties of cultural interest to Tribes; the Tribes have expressed concerns over locations of this route in a culturally important area. The development would result in the loss of 2.2 acres of wetlands, 4.7 acres of wetland buffer, and 3.3 acres of deciduous forest. It would also adversely affect two creeks. Traffic congestion would adversely affect three intersections. Properties along East marginal Way would experience minor access impacts. The development would result in the displacement of 88 off-street spaces, including 42 long-term airport parking spaces. Visual resources of residential areas adjoining SR 518 from 42nd Avenue South and approximately 38th Avenue South would be adversely affected by the elevated guideway; the values of properties closest to the structure could be adversely affected. Construction activities would adversely affect residences adjacent to SR 518.

Preparation date: October 13, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW JERSEY STATE ROUTE 52 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT FROM NEW JERSEY STATE ROUTE 9 IN SOMERS POINT TO BAY AVENUE IN OCEAN CITY, ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY. AN - 36409446; 8205 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a segment of New Jersey State Route 52 (NJ 52) from NJ 9 in Somers Point to Bay Avenue in Ocean City, located in southern New Jersey, is proposed. NJ 52 is a designated emergency evacuation route and part of the Coastal Evacuation System as well as a principal urban arterial in the National Highway System. The section of NJ 52 between NJ 9 and the existing traffic circle in Somers Point is approximately 0.6 miles in length. The causeway between the existing traffic circle in Somers Point and Ocean City, crossing Great Egg Harbor Bay, is approximately 2.2 miles in length. The causeway crossing the harbor is a four-lane, undivided highway on a low-level embankment with four structures. Two of the structures are of the low trestle design; the other two are bascule bridges, one crossing the Intracoastal Waterway near Ocean City and the other crossing Ship Channel near Somers Point. State authorities have determined that all four structures are in poor condition and must be reconstructed or replaced. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Build alternatives would include three variations of one alternative and two variations of another. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9 with Causeway Option 1) would employ a high fixed bridge over a realigned Ship Channel crossing the Intracoastal Waterway. Viaducts would be constructed over the other existing waterways. High fixed bridges with a minimum vertical clearance of 55 feet would be provided crossing the Ship Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway. Both channels would be realigned. Under causeway Option 1, the causeway would be placed completely on a structure. The project would include the conversion of the Somers Point traffic circle into a four-legged signalized intersection with turn lanes in order to improve traffic operations and increase safety as well as the widening of MacArthur Boulevard in Somers Point from two to four lanes between the circle and its recently improved intersection with NJ 9. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safe, efficient facility for the movement of persons and goods during normal travel conditions and the evacuation of persons in the event of a hurricane. The preferred alternative would be built over the existing causeway embankment, avoiding extensive adverse impacts to tidal wetlands and Green Acres lands and retaining fairly easy access to the tidal wetland islands for recreational fishing purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the foundation piles for the structures would penetrate high-value clam habitat and a very limited area of tidal wetland. The structures would adversely affect properties in Somers Point and Ocean City. Dredging in the channels would result in temporary turbidity and adversely affect the location of the channels. Construction would occur adjacent to maintained causeway traffic and require traffic diversions. The fill embankment areas would cause significant settlements, occurring over long periods of time and tending to lengthen the construction period and the diversion of traffic. The center causeway on embankment would require the filling in of some tidal wetlands. Open recreational space adjacent to the existing rights-of-way would be displaced, and the structures would adversely affect visual aesthetics in the area.

Preparation date: October 12, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 522 (FEDERAL PROJECT NUMBER STP-0522(007), VIRGINIA STATE LINE TO MARYLAND STATE LINE, MORGAN COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36408335; 8199 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 18.7 miles of US Route 522 (US 522) from the Virginia state line to the Maryland state line, located in eastern West Virginia, is proposed. The facility is a major north-south route through the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Segments of US 522 currently operate at unacceptable levels of service due to insufficient capacity. Accident rates are at unacceptably high levels due to restricted passing, short sight distances, unsafe access points, no turning lanes for exits, variable shoulder widths, and mixed use of the roadway. Traffic projections indicate that traffic volumes will double in 20 years. Issues include concerns about residential impacts, a desire among some citizens to ban through truck traffic from downtown Berkeley Springs (Bath), and limited opposition to the construction of a new roadway on a new location. Issues include land use, farmland, socioeconomics, air quality, noise, water quality, wetlands, floodplains, threatened and endangered species and natural resources, cultural resources, hazardous waste sites and underground storage tanks, visual resources, and energy, Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The selected alternative (Alternative I), the westernmost alignment, would be a four-lane divided roadway with partial control of access. The facility would run generally parallel to and east of the existing US 522 alignment for the southern 8.7 miles of the route. For the majority of this stretch, the facility would be within 500 feet of the existing roadway. In the vicinity of the proposed Ridge Historic District, the alignment would extend farther away from the existing road to avoid impacts to recreational land and an adjacent fish hatchery. By remaining east of the existing roadway in this area, impacts to Cacapon State Park and Gate House and Morgan County Park would also be avoided. Farther north, the alignment would continue parallel to existing US 522 for approximately 3.5 miles. Immediately south of the town of Berkeley Springs, the alignment would veer further to the east of existing US 522 to avoid the downtown area, including structures eligible for the National Register of Historic Places within the town. North of Berkeley Springs, the alignment would remain east of existing US 522, extending around the U.S. Silica Company mining and processing facilities. Immediately north of those facilities, the alignment would joint with the existing roadway and continue to the Maryland state line. The estimated construction cost of the selected alternative is $95.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would restore US 522 capacity through Morgan County to acceptable levels and accommodate project growth in traffic volumes. Safety problems characterizing the corridor would be rectified. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 61 residences and one commercial establishment, occurring primarily where the alignment would cross local roadways connecting US 522. The rights-of-way requirements would also result in the loss of 80 acres of farmland, 6.2 acres of wetlands, and 3.9 acres of floodplain. The facility would encounter one underground storage tank. It would be located near two archaeological sites. Small wetland areas would be adversely affected along Breakneck Run and several other smaller streams. The project would require the channelization of 405 linear feet of stream, and the project would require 9,400 feet of bridge and culvert construction.

These projects include dams and reservoirs, levees and floodwalls, diversions, channel modifications, bypass channels, and a variety of nonstructural measures. Most projects include more than one measure, particularly projects that include reservoirs. This policy is viewed as a significant step forward in improving the basis for Corps project development. The risk-based analysis approach explicitly incorporates uncertainty of key parameters and functions into project formulation, benefits, and performance analyses. Particular focus is the impact of the uncertainty in the discharge-probability, elevation-discharge, and elevation-damage functions that represent effects of the proposed protective works. Reservoir projects that reduce flood damage result in a downstream reduction in flood frequency. This paper briefly describes the risk-based analysis approach in contrast to historical project development study methods, and presents results of a recent risk-based analysis for the American River (near Sacramento, California, USA) project studies. Comments re offered on technical issues of methods and data, communication of risk-based analysis results with local officials and the public, and project design implications of the policy.

Dominance of the 1981 and 1990 cohorts allowed length-to-age relationships to be estimated directly from length-frequency histograms. Two linear relationships adequately described growth rates from age 2 through 17 y. The first model applied to ages 2 through 10 y when annual growth averaged 6.1 mm. The second model applied to ages 10 through 17 y when annual growth averaged only 1.1 mm. A survivorship curve was based on density of the 1981 cohort from age 2 through 17 y. During that period a constant proportion (17%) of the cohort died each year. Only 9% of the 1981 cohort alive in 1983 were still alive in 1998. In both 1981 and 1990 rapid and large spring rises in LOR discharge were immediately followed by rapid and large declines. These rises coincided with the expected spawning peak of Alosa chrysochloris, the only known fish host for F. ebena glochidia. The rapid return to low flow and depositional conditions was appropriately timed to enhance successful settlement of juvenile F. ebena after their parasitic stage on A. chrysochloris gills.

Although edge: area comparisons cannot detect certain types of differences in geomorphology, comparisons clearly show that dredged material marshes, on average, have fewer ponds and flooded depressions than natural marshes. Comparisons of relative exposure index values suggest that wave protection structures associated with some dredged material marshes may be overbuilt. Elevation profiles illustrate the potential for structures such as berms to lead to differences between dredged material marshes and natural marshes, but they also show the high variability in elevation profiles that exists among both dredged material and natural marshes. S. alterniflora elevations in dredged material marshes are not significantly different from those of natural marshes. Soil organic carbon and silt-clay content of dredged material marshes are not significantly different from those of natural marshes. Although belowground biomass of dredged material marshes is significantly lower than that of natural marshes, regression analysis suggests that belowground biomass will increase over time. Findings reported here suggest several points that should be considered during planning and design of dredged material marshes in Texas: 1) if an objective of marsh construction is to mimic natural marsh geomorphology, methods to increase the amount of unconnected edge need to be developed, 2) methods of effectively summarizing geomorphic characteristics need further development, and 3) there is some evidence suggesting that protective structures may be over-built, and the need for substantial structural protection should be balanced against the costs of structures and risk of site failure during project design. Lastly, a method for increasing the amount of unconnected edge that involves excavation of bay bottom before placement of dredged material is suggested.

Different uses of the term 'success' have led to some confusion, and poor recognition of the limitations of research design have contributed to confusion in studies comparing dredged material and natural marshes. This paper uses data from a number of sources to compare dredged material and natural marshes. Quantitative analyses based on data available in the scientific literature suggest that mean values for aboveground and belowground biomass, organic carbon in sediments, polychaete densities, and crustacean densities may differ in dredged material and natural marshes. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that differences are present for other variables, such as densities of stems, oligochaetes, or fish. Cumulative quantitative data do not support the contention that dredged material sites become increasingly similar to nearby natural marshes over time as a general rule, although some attributes of individual dredged material marshes may become increasingly similar to some natural marshes. Although it is clear that dredged material marshes provide habitat for birds, limited data suggest that dredged material marshes may provide habitat for a different community of birds than natural marshes. Similarly, limited data suggest that geomorphological features found in natural marshes are not duplicated in dredged material marshes. In short, data summarized from the literature suggest that dredged material marshes provide some of the functions of natural marshes but probably do not replace all of the functions of lost natural marshes.

AN - 16344884; 8197 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of the Inner Harbor channels of the Port of Los Angeles, to allow the harbor to accommodate the most modern vessels in the commercial container fleet, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The project site is located at the southern end of the city of Los Angeles and includes portions of the Los Angeles Inner and Outer Harbors, San Pedro Bay. Existing navigation channels and basins within the harbor are dredged to 45 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW), which does not provide enough draft for many newly build container vessels. Both alternative dredge depths and disposal sites are assessed in this final supplement to the draft EIS of 1992, as are 21 specific dredge/disposal combinations. Dredge depths of 50 feet below MLLW, 53 feet below MLLW, and 55 feet below MLLW are assessed. The project would result in the dredging of between 3.9 and 8.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Los Angeles Main Channel, West Basin, East Basin, and Cerritos Channel. The federal portion of the project would dredge the channel to within 125 feet of the pierhead line throughout the project area and up to the pierhead line at one berth at selected container terminals. Under the non-federal portion of the project, dredging would occur up to the pierhead line of selected berths. The project would also include dredging to deepen and widen the mouth of the Main Channel to provide port pilots with additional maneuvering room and easier access to the East Channel. Disposal sites under consideration include the Pier 300 Expansion Site, Pier 400 Submerged Storage Site, Pier 400 Upland Site, Southwest Slip0 Fill Site, another upland disposal site, and ocean disposal sites LA-2 an dLA-3. The National Economic Development (NED) Plan, which maximizes economic benefits to the nation, is the proposal to create depths of 53 feet below MLLW within the harbor. Dredged material would be used to construct a 35-acre landfill and confined disposal facility in the Southwest Slip Fill Site, place 54 acres of submerged fill in the Cabrillo Shallow Water Habitat Expansion Site, and send the excess material for ocean disposal. The Modified NED Plan, which is the locally preferred plan and the recommended plan, would differ from the NED Plan in that dredge material would also be used to construct a 40-acre landfill at the Pier 300 Expansion Site. Dredging and disposal would begin after July of 2001 and the project would be completed after December 2002. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depths of the channels and basins within the harbor would allow the facility to accommodate the newest generation of container ships with drafts of up to 47.6 feet and larger ships that draft up to 52 feet which are in the design phase. The new depths would allow container carriers to cut costs and improve the economic position of the port. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Emissions of air pollutants during the dredging and disposal would exceed federal standards. Noise from operation of the 35-acre Southwest Slip Fill Site would significantly affect five residences near the Cabrillo Shallow Water Expansion Site. Potentially significant historic buildings and structures at Berths 118 to 120 would be destroyed due to the construction of the Southwest Slip Fill Site.

AN - 16338147; 8191 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit for the construction and operation of a new rail line and associated facilities, located in east-central Wyoming, southwest South Dakota, and south-central Minnesota, is proposed. The rail line would allow the applicant, Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation (DM&E), to become the third rail carrier to serve Wyoming's Powder River Basin coal mines. The project would involve the construction of 280 miles of new line and the rehabilitation of 600 miles of existing line. The applicants proposal would include 262.3 miles of new rail line extending from DM&E's existing system near Wasta, South Dakota. The new line would extend generally to the southwest to Edgemont, South Dakota, then west into Wyoming to connect with existing coal mines located south of Gillette. This portion of the facility would traverse portions of Custer, Fall River, Jackson, and Pennington counties, South Dakota, and Campbell, Converse, Niobrara, and Weston counties, Wyoming. The new rail construction would also include a 13.31-mile line segment at Mankato, within Blue Earth and Nicollet counties in Minnesota. DM&E currently uses trackage on both sides of Mankato, accessed by trackage rights on rail line operated by the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP). The Mankato construction would provide DM&E direct access between its existing lines and allow DM&E to avoid operational conflicts with UP. The final proposed segment of new rail construction would create a connection between the existing rail systems of DM&E and the I&M Link Railroad. The connection would include the construction and operation of approximately 2.94 miles of new rail line near Owatonna in Steele County, Minnesota. To transport coal over the existing system, DM&E would rebuild and upgrade approximately 597.8 miles of rail line along its existing system; 584.95 miles of the rehabilitated track would be along DM&E's mainline between Wasta, South Dakota, and Winona, Minnesota. This upgrade project would cross Winona, Olmsted, Dodge, Steele, Waseca, Nicollet, Blue Earth, Brown, Redwood, Lyon, and Lincoln counties in Minnesota, and Brookings, Kingsbury, Beadle, Hand, Hyde, Hughes, Stanley, Haakon, and Jackson counties in South Dakota. An additional 12.85 miles of existing rail line between Oral and Smithwick, in Fall River County, South Dakota, would also be rebuilt. Rail rehabilitation would include rail and tie replacement, additional sidings, signals, grade crossing improvements, and other system improvements. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered with respect to the extension of the system in this draft EIS. Alternative B would call for new construction to occur along the Cheyenne River. Alternative C would avoid new construction in sensitive areas in South Dakota and Wyoming. Alternative D would reconstruct the existing line through Rapid City to Smithwick, provide for new construction to Edgemont, and continue with construction adjacent to the existing rail bed through Newcastle and Moorcroft. As numerous federal and state agencies are involved in the decision regarding choice of a preferred alternative, a number of preferences have been forwarded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of a third rail carrier to serve the Powder River Basin would increase the efficiency of the movement of coal eastward from the basin. The new rail line would also increase the operational efficiency of DM&E's existing rail line in Minnesota and South Dakota. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the rail system would adversely affect geology and soils, surface water and wetlands, groundwater, vegetation, agricultural land and operations, residential and commercial land uses, public land uses, cultural resources, recreation resources, environmental justice with respect to disadvantaged populations and minorities and the elderly, ranching, traditional Native American tribal cultural properties and other cultural resources, visual aesthetics, air quality, certain threatened and endangered species, and safety, including emergency vehicle response times. System operation would result in the generation of noise and vibration.

Preparation date: September 27, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RARITAN BAY AND SANDY HOOK BAY HURRICANE AND STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT, PORT MONMOUTH, MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. AN - 16352151; 8222 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of hurricane and storm damage reduction measures for Port Monmouth, located in east-central New Jersey, is proposed. Port Monmouth is a residential community extending along 7,000 feet of the Sandy Hook Bayshore west of Sandy Hook. The 1.8-square-mile project area has been subject to major tidal inundation during storms, causing damage to structures throughout the low-lying community. Most of the flooding has been the result of overflow from Pews and Compton creeks, which border the area on the west and east. However, over the years, continued erosion has resulted in a reduction of the height and width of the bayshore dune, increasing the potential for storm damage. A No Action Alternative, three non-structural alternatives, and three sets of structural alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The selected plan would provide a beach berm and dune system along the Sandy Hook Bayshore, with a system of levees and floodwalls provided along both creeks. Protective measures would extend continuously from the adjacent East Keansbury levee, across Pews Creek, along the Bay Shoreline, and then along undeveloped lands adjoining Compton Creek to higher existing elevation. The plan would provide levees and floodwalls featuring a peak elevation of 14 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), with a beach fill featuring a berm width of 50 feet at an elevation of nine feet above the NGVD backed by a dune crest width of 25 feet at an elevation of 16 feet above the NGVD. In order to accommodate this design, the plan would include the placement of a storm gate across Pews Creek, the closure of three roads, the elevation of Port Monmouth Road, and the creation of pedestrian dune walkovers. The Bay Shoreline protection component would require the initial placement of approximately 378,500 cubic yards (cy) of sand and subsequent renourishment of about 125,000 cy of sand every 10 years thereafter for 50 years. The sand would initially come from an existing permitted and authorized offshore borrow area known as the Sea Bight borrow area. The construction of the levees would require approximately 107,800 cy of material. The estimated construction cost of the selected plan is $31.4 million. The estimated annual cost of the selected plan is $2.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would benefit the local residents by increasing storm protection and reducing the amount of damage due to flooding caused by tidal surges. It would contribute to a more stable environment for planned growth and development. It would increase recreational opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of 2.04 black duck habitat units (HUs) and 3.14 marsh wren HUs due to construction activities. By the year 2052, black duck and marsh wren habitat would be reduced by 49.94 HUs and 136.71 HUs, respectively. The project would result in the loss of approximately 2.13 acres of upland habitat and 7.13 acres of wetlands, and an additional 5.63 acres of wetlands would be indirectly affected. Construction activities would destroy benthic organisms. Less mobile aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species within the footprint of the selected plan would experience mortality due to construction. Native American prehistoric resources could be adversely affected. The implementation of the selected plan would increase sedimentation, which could adversely affect natural resources through the disturbance of intertidal as well as subtidal communities in the bay and navigation through the transport of sand into channels.

Preparation date: September 25, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WISCONSIN STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 113 (PROJECT ID 5640-01-01), WISCONSIN RIVER CROSSING AT MERRIMAC, COLUMBIA AND SAUK COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 16340593; 8188 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge or the improvement of existing ferry services to carry Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 113 (WI 113) across the Wisconsin River separating Columbia and Sauk counties at Merrimac, located in south-central Wisconsin, is proposed. A ferry has operated in the Merrimac vicinity since 1848. Since, 1963, a 12-car ferry has operated as the link across the river for WI 113, which is a collector highway. Due to increasing mechanical and structural problems, the ferry must be replaced between the years 2000 and 2002. Local concerns have been expressed with respect to lack of service in the winter when the ferry does not operate and low levels of service in the summer when tourist traffic creates long waiting times. More recently, the public has expressed concerns regarding preserving the last free ferry in Wisconsin and the recreational experience the ferry offers. In addition, concerns about preserving the Baraboo Hills, a unique ecosystem, have also been expressed due to the belief that secondary impacts of a bridge would put greater development pressures on the area. A No-Build Alternative (Alternative F-1), which would involve replacing the existing 12-vehicle ferry with another 12-vehicle ferry, two ferry alternatives involving replacing the existing ferry with either a seasonal 24-vehicle ferry (Alternative F-2) or year-round 24-vehicle ferry (Alternative F-6), two bridge alternatives (Alternative B-1d and Alternative B-2d) are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would involve replacing the existing ferry with a 15-vehicle ferry and providing seasonal service from approximately April through December. The new ferry would be capable of conveying commercial and farm traffic vehicles weighing up to 16 tons. It would be able to convey emergency equipment if necessary. Improvements to the north shore queuing area would also be included. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $1.75 million. The estimated annual operation and maintenance costs are $325,000. The present value cost of the facility is $6.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any action alternative would improve traffic capacity for the STH 113 crossing of the Wisconsin River at Merrimac. Bridge crossings would provide the greatest capacity enhancement, while ferry crossings would involve the most moderate environmental impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would require the acquisition of 4.5 acres of new rights-of-way and the displacement of one residential and four commercial units. Alternative B-1d and Alternative B-2b would require the acquisition of 2.1 acres and 7.1 acres of new rights-of-way, respectively, and the displacement of four residences (Alternative B-1d) or two businesses (Alternative B-2b). The bridge construction activities could encounter underwater archaeological sites, and the structure could adversely affect historic views and a Wisconsin Department of Transportation wayside park. The bridge structures could displace 0.09 acres of wetland.

Mate 2000 for the identification and quantification of petroleum hydrocarbon products AN - 742890675; 2002-000083 AB - The H.E.L.P. Mate 2000 (HM 2000) is a spectrophotometric instrument developed for use with the Hanby Test Kits to rapidly assess of total petroleum hydrocarbon contamination (TPH) in environmental matrices on site. This spectrophotometer is designed to remove the subjectivity associated with the present visual method of analysis, and to eliminate the requirement for prior knowledge of the type of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination present at a given site. Both the HM 2000 and the current visual method of analysis measure the color that is produced by the Friedel-Crafts reaction with the aromatic hydrocarbons present in petroleum-based fuels, oils, and solvents. Laboratory and field studies were used to evaluate the HM 2000. Different results were obtained, depending on the type of sample matrix. In general, the HM 2000 was more accurate and precise for soil samples than for water samples. However, in comparison to the visual method, the HM 2000 was neither as accurate nor did it offer any qualitative advantages.

AN - 16341728; 8186 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) activities with full support from Joint Task Force-Six (JTF-6) throughout the continental United States, but primarily within a 50-mile corridor along the United States/Mexico border, 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 United States. Any drug law enforcement agency (DLEA) in the southwest, including the Border Patrol of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, can request assistance from JTF-6. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this revised draft EIS. Under the proposed action, INS construction activities would be varied, but would include roads, fences, training ranges, remote video surveillance systems, lights, Border Patrol stations, and facilities at land ports of entry. JTF-6 would support the INS in the design and construction of counterdrug-related facilities as well as continue to provide other operational and general support to the INS as necessary. JTF-6 would also continue to support other DLEAs throughout the continental United States. Support to the INS and other DLEAs could 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 training facilities and bases of operations, and repair or construction of border roads and fences. Other action alternatives under consideration include the construction of the major infrastructure projects, with no remote sensing capabilities, and the implementation of remote sensing capabilities without the other major construction activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Facilities proposed by the INS and the assistance provided by JTF-6 would allow the DLEAs to conduct their investigation, apprehension, and patrolling activities more efficiently, thereby reducing the flow of illegal drugs and undocumented immigrants into the United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Program continuation would have unavoidable adverse impacts on wildlife populations and on vegetative communities within road and fence rights-of-way. Approximately 6,900 acres of habitat would be adversely altered due to JTF-6 facilities construction and enforcement activities. Most of these adverse effects would occur within semidesert grasslands and/or scrublands, primarily in Texas. Three accidents adversely affecting protected species have occurred since 1989. The participation of military units in the control of illegal drug trafficking along the southwestern border has raised some controversy. Over 100 new sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places have been identified as a result of INS/JTF-6 projects. Though a policy of avoidance of cultural sites is practiced by the INX/JTF-6 program, when avoidance was not possible, sites would be disturbed; disturbed sites would be excavated for mitigation purposes.

Preparation date: September 20, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN DIEGUITO WETLAND RESTORATION PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36408872; 8177 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a comprehensive restoration plan for approximately 440 acres of coastal wetlands along the western end of the San Dieguito River valley, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The project would include the restoration of tidal wetlands, the reestablishment of historic uplands, the enhancement and expansion of freshwater and seasonal coastal wetlands, and the construction of facilities for public access and interpretation. Major components of the plan would include the restoration of the aquatic functions of the lagoon through permanent inlet maintenance and the expansion of the lagoon's tidal prism and creating of subtidal and intertidal habitats on both the west and the west sides of Interstate 5. Tidal restoration would involve modifications to the existing drainage patters, the excavation of the tidal inlet to promote continual tidal exchange, the excavation and dredging of sediments on up to 247 acres to create and restore coastal wetlands, the construction of two or three berms along the river to maintain existing flood flows and direct sediment transport to the ocean, and the identification of appropriate disposal sites for the 1.2 million to 3.0 million cubic yards of excavated and dredged material generated from the project. Five nesting sites, providing 13.7 acres of flat nesting area of the California least tern, western snowy plover, and other shorebirds, would also be provided. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Four of the action alternatives have the same restoration footprint. Each of the five alternatives would involve a different mix of tidally influenced habitat types and require a different grading plan, with those alternatives that would create larger areas of subtidal and low salt marsh habitat requiring more excavation than those alternatives that would create intertidal mudflats and high marsh. Public facilities would include three trails, a visitors center, trail staging areas, and an interpretive program. The preferred alternative (the Mixed Habitat Alternative) would include three berms. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would help restore aquatic functions by opening tidal channel and maintaining tidal exchange, restore and improve existing habitat, increase the acreage of tidal habitats, improve functions of existing tidal and seasonal wetlands, restore native uplands, enhance fresh and brackish water marsh as well as riparian woodland and scrub habitats, create nesting sites for waterbirds, preserve the area as open space, and provide recreational opportunities in areas currently closed to public use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The crossing of the river mouth on foot would become more difficult, particularly during high tide, limiting beach access somewhat. The use of certain disposal sites and the use of trails could conflict with other recreational uses. The transport of visitors by tram and bus would increase noise levels and conflict with the natural character of the area and with equestrians. Land use conflicts with residential areas located north of the site could occur if public address systems were used and/or night lighting were visible. Beach disposal could adversely affect grunion spawning or the survival of eggs and larvae. Two acres of wetland would be lost to trail realignment. Federally-protected plant and bird species could be adversely affected. The berms, fill areas, and nesting sites would adversely alter the topography and, hence, the aesthetics of the site. The excavated lands would require one to two years to revegetate which, combined with a one- to two-year construction period, would adversely alter site aesthetics for two to four years.

AN - 36393134; 8175 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of new facilities at Oakland International Airport, located in western California, is proposed. The 2,445-acre airport is located in the southwestern portion of the city of Oakland. The southern portion of the airport contains commercial air passenger facilities, its principal runway, and air cargo facilities. The northern portion contains three runways, general aviation, aviation maintenance, and some additional air cargo facilities. Current facilities are not considered adequate to meet passenger or air cargo volume forecasts. Passenger enplanements and debarkations are expected to rise from 14.4 million in 2005 to 17.2 million in 2010; cargo volume is expected to increse from 1.6 million tons per year to 2.1 million tons per year during the same period. The airport currently has a single entry point, Airport Drive, which creates problems in terms of vehicle circulation during normal airport operating conditions and emergency vehicle access in the event of an emergency. A second access point would provide additional capacity as well as a detour route if the main airport entrance were closed. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of September 1996. This revised draft EIS also considers a No Action Alternative and the proposed action alternative. The proposed action would include an airport roadway project designed to address current roadway deficiencies. The roadway project would include the construction of a six-story parking garage; the realignment, widening, and double-decking of the Airport Drive terminal loop; and the relocation of existing parking and rental car facilities displaced by construction activities. Additional projects would include expanding both existing air passenger terminals by up to 750,000 gross square feet to include facilities to support 12 additional aircraft, consolidating existing ground vehicle equipment service facilities at a single site, relocating the jet fuel dispensing facility, expanding the existing United Airlines maintenance base, and expanding the existing air cargo facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would relieve existing and forecasted congestion at the airport, thereby reducing passenger and air cargo inconveniences and delays. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site grading and preparation would significantly alter the existing topography. Two residences and three businesses would be relocated. Aircraft noise would adversely affect residential areas of the cities of Alameda and San Leandro by the year 2010. Traffic congestion at selected intersections along Airport Drive would increase, and off-site parking opportunities would be negatively affected. Wetlands would be displaced and the project would increase stormwater runoff, affecting the area floodplain and peak flood flows. Airport operations would contribute to a cumulative increase in the emission of criteria air pollutants. The airport lies in an area characterized by seismic activity.

AN - 36408834; 8170 AB - PURPOSE: The reformulation of the remaining unconstructed features of the Yazoo Backwater Area Project to provide flood control and ecological benefits in the Yazoo Basin, located in west-central Mississippi, is proposed. The triangular 4,093-square-mile area lies between the Mississippi River east bank levee and the hill line on the east. The four major subbasins within the area are the Big Sunflower River, Little Sunflower River, Deer Creek, and Steele Bayou basins. Approximately 630,000 acres within the basin are subject to inundation by the 100-year flood event; 360,000 acres within this area are cleared. On an average annual basis, approximately 499,000 acres are inundated, of which 231,000 acres are cleared. An array of nonstructural and structural measures and combinations thereof emphasizing increased urban flood protection and reduced agricultural intensification and environmental impacts have been evaluated. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Plan 1), are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of 1982. The recommended alternative (Plan 5) would consist of the installation of a 14,000-cubic-foot-per-second pumping plant with a year-round pump operation elevation of 87 feet, National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), at Steele Bayou; the purchase of conservation easements from willing sellers for the re-establishment of bottomland hardwoods on 62,500 acres of open land below the pump elevation; and the modification of operations at the Steele Bayou structure to maintain water levels between the 70- and 73-foot, NVGD elevation during low-water periods. The estimated costs for the project are $181.5 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.48. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional project features would reduce urban and rural structural damage in the currently affected areas by 85 percent. Returns to agricultural interests would increase, while the natural environment would be enhanced. The reforestation element, along with the changes in land use based on the conservation easements, would provide significant environmental benefits to the area. Private ownership of reforested lands would be maintained. Crucial one-year fish spawning habitat would be restored. Water levels during low-flow seasons would be raised significantly, increasing standing stocks and production of many fish species. Critical habitat for the threatened Louisiana black bear, the endangered pondberry, neotropical forest breeding birds, migratory birds, and waterfowl. Increases in organic matter would provide a more secure food chain in this heterotrophic system. Sediment and nutrient loading to receiving streams would decline. Recreational opportunities would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Farmland converted to forest under the easement component of the plan would be removed from production. The construction of the pumping station would displace 38 acres of bottomland hardwood forest and the associated wildlife habitat. The extent of floodplain habitat would decrease in the Big Sunflower area.

Preparation date: September 7, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FUTURE WATER SUPPLY NEEDS IN THE UPPER DUCK RIVER BASIN; BEDFORD, COFFEE, MARSHALL, MAURY, AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 36406863; 8168 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of water to meet the future water supply needs in the upper Duck River watershed, located in central Tennessee, is proposed. An analysis of the future water supply needs for water supply in the upper Duck River watershed of Tennessee to the year 2050 is presented, along with proposed means of meeting those needs. A needs analysis report, issued in August 1998, indicated that the minimum flow being provided by the Normandy Dam would meet the water supply and water quality control needs of the Bedford and Marshall county water service areas throughout the 50-year study period. Future demand in the Maury/southern Williamson County water service area above 40 cubic feet per second (cfs), which appears increasingly likely to occur in the years following 2015, would have to be met by other water supply sources, which would have to be able to supply as much as 22 cfs by 2050. In addition to a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), this draft EIS considers four conceptual action alternatives developed to meet this water supply need. Two of these alternatives could be implemented within the service area, specifically, a reservoir on Fountain Creek (Alternative B) and a downstream intake and pumping plant on the Duck River (Alternative C). Another alternative (Alternative D), which would affect other parts of the Duck River watershed, would involve raising the Normandy Dam pool level. The fourth action alternative (Alternative E), which would affect an area outside the Duck River watershed, would involve constructing a water supply intake and pumping station on the northern embayment of the Tims Ford Reservoir and installing a 20-mile pipeline, supported by a booster station, to transport water to a discharge point on the Duck River near Shelbyville. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the action alternatives would ensure adequate water supply to the Maury/southern Williamson County water service area, providing a necessary resource for continued development of the region. Alternative D would meet water needs through 2035, while Alternative B, Alternative C, or Alternative D would meet these requirements through 2050. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In general, the extent of potential environmental impacts of the action alternatives would be related to the amount of land area to be modified or disturbed. The downstream intake and the pipeline alternatives would have only short-term adverse impacts associated with construction activities. The alternatives involving the Fountain Creek Reservoir and the Normandy Dam would involve modifications in much larger areas. Alternative B, Alternative C, and Alternative E would include those associated with the construction of some length of pipeline, including soil disturbance and the associated temporary destruction of vegetation and sedimentation of receiving waters and the potential disturbance of cultural resources. Alternative B and Alternative D would involve the construction of enlargement of a reservoir, adversely affecting water quality, aquatic life, archaeological sites, and historic structures. Alternative B would also require the acquisition of approximately 800 acres of land. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

Many uncertainties exist with respect to the mobility and stability of explosives in soils. The specific objectives of this work are to test the efficacy of frozen barriers to restrain movement of RDX, TNT, and picric acid through soils; test the concept of leaching contaminated soils above a frozen barrier as a method for soil cleanup; and compare the mobility and stability of explosives in an aged, field-contaminated soil versus a freshly contaminated soil. Two methods of adding explosives were examined. In Treatment 1, explosives were added in aqueous solution to a clean soil. In Treatment 2, explosives from an aged, field-contaminated soil were used. In Treatment 1, where the aqueous phase explosives were added above a stable frozen barrier, there was no significant movement of explosives into the frozen barrier. There was significant movement of explosives (picric acid >> RDX = TNT) into the frozen barrier in Treatment 2. However, this is believed to have occurred when the contaminated soil was added on top of the frozen soil, which caused a temporary thawing of the frozen barrier surface. A stable frozen barrier is effective in restraining the movement of RDX, TNT, and picric acid in soils. Water extractions of the field-contaminated soil recovered 44-56% of the picric acid, 11% of the TNT, and 45% of the RDX; only for the highly soluble picric acid would water extractions be a useful technique for cleanup of explosives in soils. About 88% of the TNT added in aqueous solution to Treatment 1 was missing at the end of the three-month experiment, demonstrating that there was a rapid transformation of TNT into unknown products or unextractable forms in soils.

First, the stability of fractal dimensions for 1-D field measurements of joint spacing was investigated with respect to the number of measurements needed. At least 100-150 spacing measurements per joint set produced stable or accurate fractal dimensions where joints were regularly clustered and relatively regularly and widely spaced. Other spatial patterns require greater numbers of measurements per set. The stability of D for 1-D data is thus likely to depend on the spatial distribution of the joints within each joint set. Second, an alternate approach to estimate stable fractal dimensions based on scale invariance was explored. A combination of 1-D field data and 1- and 2-D image data was used. Fractal dimensions for the field data, which are unstable, ranged from 0.70-0.84, and for the image patterns, D ranged from 1.63-1.69, suggesting a 2-D fractal dimension of 1.7 for fractures in this area. These results suggest that the combined use of different data types with different dimensionality may overcome the problem of unstable fractal dimensions and allow reasonable estimates of stable fractal dimensions to be made.

The study reach extends from New Madrid, MO, to Natchez, MS, a distance of about 900 km. Analyses for six major reaches and 13 sub-reaches for the pre- and post-cutoff periods indicate that the river presently has a much larger slope and stream power than prior to the cutoffs. The largest increases have occurred between Fulton, TN, and Lake Providence, LA, where slope and stream power increases range from about 27% to 36% and 20% to 38%, respectively. Increases in slope and stream power in reaches upstream and downstream have also occurred, but to a lesser degree. Previous investigations have shown that no coarsening of the bed material has occurred since 1932, and that the bed material may actually be somewhat finer overall. As the Lower Mississippi River is not a sediment-starved system, an increase in stream power with no change in D (sub 50) would be expected to be offset by an increase in the bed material load as the river adjusts towards equilibrium. Previous investigators have inferred a reduction in the sediment loads on the Mississippi River this century based on analyses of total measured suspended loads. However, these results should be viewed as primarily representing the changes in wash load and should not be taken to imply that bed material loads have also decreased. Therefore, the bed material loads in the study reach should be greater than in the pre-cutoff period. Excess stream power in the sub-reaches directly affected by cutoffs resulted in scour that increased downstream bed material load. These elevated sediment loads play a key role in driving morphological adjustments towards equilibrium in the post-cutoff channel. The stability status of the channel in the study reach currently ranges from dynamic equilibrium in the farthest upstream reaches through severe degradation to dynamic equilibrium in the middle reaches, and aggradation in the lowest reaches. These evolutionary trends cannot be explained by consideration of changes in slope and stream power alone. Changes in the incoming bed material load to each reach generated by upstream channel evolution must also be considered.

The study area includes the western Sarpy County levee reach on the left bank of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers from a point 2.5 miles upstream from their confluence downstream to the Highway 6 bridge as well as the Clear Creek levee reach on the right bank of the Platte River from a point seven miles upstream of the confluence of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers downstream to the US Highway 6 bridge. The Sarpy reach has had a significant, long-term flooding problem. Past floods have primarily occurred during ice-affected seasons, though floods have also occurred during warmer months. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Two levee alternatives would result in a levee system that would contain the 151,000-cubic-foot-per-second (151,000-csf) flood flow elevation from the 50-year flood event. The third levee alternative would result in a levee crest at the 130-cfs flood flow elevation from a 30-year event. The tentatively selected plan (Plan 5) would provide for 151,000-cfs containment. The existing Western Sarpy levee upstream of Thomas Lake would be reconstructed and a new levee would be placed in areas currently lacking levee protection downstream of the lake. An environmental restoration project, to be implemented along with the flood control component, would involve the connection of an expired sand and gravel quarry to the Lower Platte River, the conversion of a sand pit lake into a 172-acre wetland/lake complex, and the creation of a four-acre nesting island for two endangered bird species within the lake. In addition, a flood reduction mitigation component would result in the conversion of 38 to 42 acres of cropland to riparian woodland and the conversion of a 40-acre borrow site to wet meadows and ponds. The estimated first cost of the tentatively selected plan is $15.4 million. The estimated annual operation, maintenance, and replacement costs are $986,200. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.3. The estimated cost of the environmental restoration component of the project is $5.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The levee system would significantly reduce flooding along the Platte River within the study area. The mitigation measures would enhance riverine and wetland wildlife habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Considerable ice-affected flood hazard would continue landward of the levees. Flood elevations would increase significantly downstream of the levee system, and the levees would increase the depth of flow over sandbars and the velocities of stream channel currents. Flood flows would be more concentrated between the levees, increasing channel scour and otherwise changing channel morphology. On the Western Sarpy side of the river, levee improvements would requiring the filling of 1.53 acres of wetlands, shade would be removed from 1.26 acres of heavily-shaded wetlands, and 1.92 acres of pond would be filled. On the Clear Creek side of the river, 3.43 acres and one two-ace pond would be filled. Grasslands and woodland would be displaced by the levees as would 55 acres of prime farmland. The levee system could adversely affect nesting interior least terms and piping plovers and would adversely affect pallid sturgeon and sturgeon chub. The structures would mar visual aesthetics in the area and reduce access for recreational fishing. Residents of 27 homes would be displaced.

Preparation date: September 1, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DAVE LYLE BOULEVARD EXTENSION, LANCASTER AND YORK COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 16352838; 8159 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of Dave Lyle Boulevard, also known as South Carolina State Route 22 (SC 22) eastward from the city of Rock Hill to a point near US Route 521 (US 521), located in northern South Carolina, is proposed. The facility, which would follow a new alignment, would traverse the eastern section of York County and the northern section of Lancaster County. The project is part of the York County Metropolitan Road Corridor Project funded by the State Infrastructure Bank. The project would extend Dave Lyle Boulevard from SC 161 to SC 75 in the vicinity of the US 521/SC 75 intersection near the South Carolina/North Carolina border. The controlled-access highway facility would provide four lanes, separated by a 48-foot earthen median within a 200-foot right-of-way. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Of the three build alternatives, the longest build alternative would extend 9.7 miles, while the other two build alternative each would extend 8.7 miles. Also under consideration are several interchanges which would allow traffic along the mainline of the David Lyle Boulevard to flow uninterrupted at a high level of service. Interchanges would likely be provided at SC 161, the Carroll Tract, SC 31 (Neely Store Road), the Catawba Indian Reservation, and US 521. The interchanges at the Catawba Reservation and the Carroll tract would be built after funding specifically for those interchanges was provided, either by the Catawba Indian Nation of through government entities. Four or five bridges, five to eight grade separation structures, and one railroad crossing structure would also be constructed. Depending on the build alternative selected, the estimated cost of the project is $82.5 million to $119.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would complete a group of roadway projects designed to improve transportation in York and northern Lancaster counties. Travel on local, regional, and state highway networks would be improved through the provision of a more efficient, safer route between Lancaster and York counties. The project would contribute to infrastructure developments designed to guide growth and help control urban sprawl in both counties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would include the acquisition of 326 to 381 acres of land, adversely affecting 58 to 71 property owners, displacing 14 to 26 residential units and one commercial unit, and adversely affecting community cohesion in some areas. The land requirements would also result in the loss of 73.7 to 86.4 acres of farmland and 8.1 to 10.8 acres of wetlands. Noise in excess of federal standards would adversely affect 53 to 64 receptors. The project would traverse an area in which one bald eagle nest has been identified.

Preparation date: August 30, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PRIMARY CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECT, HONOLULU, HONOLULU COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 16352511; 8164 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements within the primary transportation corridor of the island of Oahu, located in Hawaii, is proposed. The primary transportation corridor extends from Kapolei in the Ewa District to the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Waikiki in the primary urban center. The project would address existing and future mobility constraints as the existing transportation infrastructure in this corridor is overburdened handling current levels of travel demand. Three alternatives, including a No Action/No-Build (Alternative 1), which would include over eight projects expected to be implemented in the next three years, as well as an expansion of bus service in developing areas to maintain existing levels of service, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2, which is the transportation system management (TSM) alternative, would feature the reconfiguration of the present bus route network to a hub-and-spoke system as well as some highway elements. Alternative 3 would build on the hub-and-spoke bus system proposed under Alternative 2, adding regional and in-town bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. The regional BRT system would include a continuous H-1 BRT corridor from Kapolei to the downtown area with special ramps to transit centers, while the in-town BRT system would provide a high-capacity transit spine from Middle Street to the downtown area, a university branch from the downtown area to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and a Kakaako/Waikiki branch that would extend from downtown to Waikiki via Kakaako. Two options for the technology of the in-town BRT system are being studied. Both would involve the use of low-floor, articulated electric buses. One would use touchable embedded plate technology, in which traction power would be provided to the vehicles through a power strip embedded in the roadway. The other option would use hybrid diesel/electric technology. Under either action alternative, noise barriers would be provided along sections of the Hawaii 1 Freeway in Waipahu. The estimated costs of implementation of Alternative 1, Alternative 2, and Alternative 3 are $316.9 million, $518.7 million, and $1.06 billion, respectively. The respective estimated annual operating and maintenance costs of Alternative 1, Alternative 2, and Alternative 3 are $125.1 million, $317.4 million, and $163.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either action alternative would increase the carrying capacity of the transportation system in the primary transportation corridor by providing alternatives to the private automobile. The action alternatives would also support desired development patterns, improve transportation linkage between Kapolei and Honolulu's urban core and between communities in the primary urban center. Alternative 3 would best meet these objectives. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3, respectively, would create 947 and 3,080 person-years of new employment. The respective energy savings for Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would be 8,600 barrels and 39,000 barrels of oil. The action alternatives would improve regional air quality by eight percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some businesses could be displaced in order to develop new transit centers and expanded maintenance facilities under Alternative 2 and Alternative 3. Under Alternative 3, the design of transit stops at Iwilei, Chinatown, Iolani Palace, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa would adversely affect the historical environments of these areas. The extensive bus network under Alternative 2 would adversely affect bicycle travel due to the inclusion of semi-exclusive lanes in the downtown area.

Preparation date: August 30, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JANESVILLE TO WATERTOWN, WISCONSIN STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 26; DODGE, JEFFERSON, AND ROCK COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 16352692; 8144 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 48 miles of Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 26 (WI 26) from the north side of Janesville to north of Watertown, located in south-central Wisconsin, is proposed. A primary arterial, WI 26 accommodates the commodity transport of goods and services as a federal and/or state truck route and provides communities along the corridor with access to local and regional services. Traffic volumes along the study corridor are high and capacity and level of service will decrease in the future. Accident rates along a number of segments are higher than average for this class of road. The project would begin on the north side of Janesville at Interstate Highway 90 (I-90) and extend north to a point approximately nine miles north of Watertown at WI 60-East. Within the project limits, WI 26 passes through Milton, Jefferson, Johnson Creek, and Watertown and bypasses Fort Atkinson. In rural areas, WI 26 passes through Harmony, Milton, Koshkonong, Jefferson, Aztalan, Farmington, Emmet, and Clyman. Along with a No-Build Alternative, two alternatives for the south Segment, four alternative and two option for the Central Segment, and two alternative for the North Segment are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the action alternatives would upgrade the existing two-lane facility to a four-lane divided rural highway. The general concept would involve utilizing the existing highway corridor to the extent practical, with bypasses of communities where necessary to maintain a constant highway speed and to avoid excessive relations and impacts to historic sites. Freeway access control standards would be implemented along the bypass portions of the route. Expressway standards, permitting at-grade intersections and private entrances at controlled spacing, would be applied along rural segments located along the existing alignment. Construction would commence no sooner than 2008, though rights-of-way acquisition would begin earlier. Sections of WI 26 would likely be staged for improvement over a period of time as funds become available. Depending on the series of action alternatives selected, the estimated cost of the project is $179 million to $188 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a facility consistent with state planning efforts and the intended high function as a primary arterial, provide additional capacity and an adequate level of service for current and projected traffic volumes, reduce congestion and travel time along STH 26, and improve the safety of the highway by reducing traffic conflicts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the series of action alternatives selected, the rights-of-way requirements would displace 1,321 to 1,658 acres, resulting in the loss of 43 to 85 acres of wetlands, 11 to 30 acres of upland forest, and 1,096 to 1,521 acres of farmland, as well as 35 to 84 residential units and nine to 14 commercial units. The project would traverse up to four streams. As many as three historic sites and 19 archaeologic sites could be adversely affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 55 to 97 receptors, but even the highest figure would represent a significantly improvement over the No-Build Alternative. Construction activities could encounter three hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: August 17, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GUADALUPE RIVER WATERSHED PLANNING STUDY, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16355990; 8141 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Guadalupe River watershed, located in western California, is proposed. The upper watershed lies in the eastern Santa Cruz Mountains near the summit of Loma Prieta. The river begins at the confluence of Alamitos Creek and Guadalupe Creek and flows northward through downtown San Jose to San Francisco Bay. The Santa Clara valley once supported extensive riparian vegetation along the creeks in the watershed. The banks of the streams, prone to flooding, supported a diverse and biologically rich habitat. Human development in the valley have lead to changes in the overall extent and condition of riparian vegetation and habitat values within the creek environment due to alteration of the streambanks. The floodplain and high terraces of the river have been converted to urban development. Urban development has also resulted in point source and non-point source pollution. To reverse these trends, a multi-objective capital improvement project between Highway 101 and Interstate 880 (I-880) and between I-280 and Blossom Hill Road is proposed. The plan addresses general objectives, water supply objectives, and flood damage reduction objectives. Alternatives include the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, a nonstructural plan, upstream storage, offstream storage, and channel modifications. The proposed plan would include levees and floodwalls along the channel from Bayshore to I-880; gabion bypass channels from I-280 to the Southern Pacific Railroad, from the Southern Pacific Railroad to the Union Pacific Railroad, and from the Union Pacific Railroad to Willow Glen Way; selective channel widening and cribwall liming from Willow Glen Way to Curtner Avenue; bank widening, levee construction, and gabion channel widening from Curtner Avenue to the Capitol Expressway; gabion channel widening from the Capitol Expressway to Branham Lane; levee construction and revegetation from Branham Lane to Blossom Hill Road; floodwall construction from along Canos Creek from the Guadalupe River to the end of Nightingale Drive; Ross Creek widening from the Guadalupe River to Jarvis Avenue; and fish barrier modifications along the Guadalupe River and Alamitos and Guadalupe creeks. The project would be implemented over a 25-year period commencing in 2000 or 2001. The estimated cost of the project is $109.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to flood control and water supply benefits, the project would enhance biological resources associated with the watershed. The hydrologic regime created within the watershed would resist scour due to high current velocities and otherwise improve the integrity of the affected streambanks. Water quality would improve due to improved creek environments in some reaches. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Channeling of flows would adversely affect the area's groundwater recharge program as well as local drainage patterns. Construction activities would damage streambanks, destroy the associated vegetation, and create instream turbidity.

AN - 36413548; 8130 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the third mainline commuter rail track within the Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company's (Metro-North) system between Mount Vernon West and Crestwood stations, located in Westchester County in southeastern New York, is proposed. Metro-North is an operating subsidiary of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Issues include potential noise and vibration resulting from the addition of a third track in the project area, the potential effect of the project on historic and archaeological resources in the vicinity of the project area, the visual effects of a new structure behind the backyards of the Parkway Road residences, and Harlem Line capacity and project need, the protection of parkland during construction, the maintenance and protection of traffic and emergency services during construction, and increased potential for flooding. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered prior to selection of the preferred alternative. Action alternatives include a transportation system management alternative, which would use bus service to meet Metro-North goals; four third track build alternatives; two alternatives involving modification of signaling technology; and five operational alternatives designed to modify operating patterns on the Harlem Line to improve service. Three build alternatives and a No Action Alternative were carried forward for detailed analysis in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would upgrade the existing third track between Mount Vernon West and Fleetwood stations for a distance of approximately one mile, construct a parallel third track on existing Metro-North-owned rights-of-way on the west side of the current main line between Fleetwood and Bronxville stations for a distance of approximately one mile, construct a third track to the west of the existing mainline tracks north of Midland Avenue on a new structure over the Bronx River and parallel to the west side of the existing historic Stone Arch Bridge, construct a third track on existing rights-of-way between the existing tracks for a distance of 1.2 miles between Bronxville Station and interlocking Control Point 116 (CP 116) just south of Crestwood Station, upgrade the existing middle track between interlockings CP 116 and CP 117 at Crestwood Station for a distance of approximately 0.3 mile, and remove unused foundations and structures within the right-of-way, including 30 power transmission towers, five signal bridges, and an abandoned brick building, and modify the existing substations at Mount Vernon West, Fleetwood, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The third rail upgrade would increase capacity to meet projected demand and tap new markets, maintain and improve service levels to existing markets, improve train service reliability and scheduling flexibility, support local and regional economic development, and improve air quality. It would alleviate the capacity constraint on the Harlem Line and enable Metro-North to accommodate expected growth in passenger demand on the Harlem Line in three key commutation markets, namely, to the Grand Central Terminal, to/from stations within the Harlem Line service area to the north of Grand Central station Terminal/125th Street, and from New York City to jobs in the Harlem Line service area including White Plains, New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the line would increase noise levels, but only marginally, along the rail corridor, which is already considered very noisy due to the density of current operations. At tow sites, Parkway Road and Kensington Road/Oak Avenue, noise level increases due to the project would violate federal standards. Noise barriers would be constructed to mitigate these impacts. Vibration due to rail operations, which are already high and likely to cause annoyance, would increase somewhat, again violating federal standards along Parkway Road. Vibration conditions could be mitigated through installation of resilient rail fasteners or ballast mats. Construction activities would require temporarily use of an underutilized portion of the Bronx River Park. A wall that would replace a bermed trackbed would adversely affect views from Parkway Road, and a retaining wall would adversely affect the visual appearance of the Midland Gardens Apartment Complex and Bronxville Station. Additional vehicular traffic generated by the third rail upgrade would adversely affect service at three intersections, to in Chappaqua and one in Golden's Bridge. The construction of a third span on the west side of the Stone Arch Bridge over the Bronx River would adversely affect the visual resources of this historic site.

AN - 36405925; 8123 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of major flood control improvements at the Prado Dam, located in southwestern California, are proposed. This draft supplement to the October 1992 final EIS looks at the alteration of dam operations for flood control purposes. The dam, which is located on the Santa Ana River three miles upstream of the Orange County line and 31 miles upstream of the Pacific Ocean, is currently operated for flood control, with authorization for incidental water conservation measures. Project facilities include an earthfill embankment rising 106 feet above the stream bed, with a crest length of 2,280 feet, and a reservoir behind the dam, contained at a spillway crest of 543 feet and holding 196,000 acre-feet (af) of water; approximately 6,630 acres of land are covered at this elevation, and 9,741 acres at the 556- foot take line. The watershed supplying runoff to Prado occupies an area extending from the city of Pomona to Mount San Antonio along the crest of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains, including Big Bear Lake, to Mount San Gorgonio and San Gorgonio Pass, and including Lake Elsinore. Various recreational uses, wildlife resources, and cultural resources are present in the basin associated with the dam. The October 1992 EIS proposed allowing storage of water at Prado Dam after the main winter flood season to provide recharge water for spreading facilities downstream of the dam. Three alternatives with respect to Norco Bluffs stabilization and/or slope stabilization, two alternatives with respect to Prado basin flood control improvements via possible raising of the dam embankment, and two alternatives with respect to Reach 9 of the Santa Ana River, are considered in this draft supplement. For each category, one alternative is a No Action Alternative. Raising of the dam embankment would be accompanied by the creation of an auxiliary dike, outlet works, the modification of the existing spillway, and the creation of dikes and/or floodwalls to protect the Corona Sewage Treatment Plant, the Alcoa Aluminum Plant, the Corona National Housing Tract, the California Institution for Women, Road River, the Yorba Slaughter Adobe historic site, and the Prado Petroleum Tank Farm. The levees and floodwalls protecting the Green River Mobile Home Park would be improved. Bank or slope stabilization would be implemented along other reaches. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing flood control in addition to the level provided historically by the Prado Dam, the project would provide enhanced bank stabilization along the affected reaches, preventing erosion and protecting structures and land. Additional recreational opportunities would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would adversely affect biological resources, including wetlands and forested lands, cultural and historic resources, and recreational uses within the basin. Cultural resource sites and the habitat of least Bell's vireos, an endangered bird species, as well as other wildlife species could be damaged. Noise levels during construction could constitute a significant adverse impact.

In 1950, the St. Louis District initiated an investigation of seepage beneath these levees. As a result of this investigation, 2,480 relief wells were installed along 292 mi of mainline and tributary levees during the 1950s. During the flood of 1993, the stage of the Mississippi River along the mainline levees equaled or exceeded the design stage, the highest river level to which the middle Mississippi River levees had ever been subjected. The writers were responsible for collecting and analyzing the data and information relating to the condition, efficiency, and performance of the relief wells installed in the 1950s along the above stretch of the Mississippi River. The study showed that the relief well systems that were designed and constructed during the 1950s with limited design data performed successfully and prevented any significant sand boils or piping for a design river stage. The parameters involved in design and performance of the underseepage control systems were largely confirmed within the normal variations of the parameters involved and field conditions. From analysis of the data collected during the 1993 high water, a program for maintenance and repair of the relief well system was developed. This paper presents a brief description of the phenomena of underseepage, the parameters involved in the design and performance of underseepage control measures, and a comparison of design values with field performance for a 50-year high water against 300 mi of Mississippi River levees in 1993, of which 45 miles are now protected from underseepage by relief wells. This paper also describes the importance of not only building levees high enough to hold back the design high water of a river but also the design, construction, and maintenance of relief well systems to prevent failure of levees as a result of sand boils and/or piping for the various subsurface conditions that exist along levees in the alluvial valleys of major rivers.

In previous work, a quantitative hydrograph analysis technique has been proposed from which matrix transmissivity (i. e. , transmissivity of intergranular porosity) and specific yields of matrix, fracture, and conduit (larger fracture) components of the aquifer may be determined from well hydrographs. The technique has yielded realistic results at three sites tested by the authors thus far (Y-12 Plant, Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Ammunition Burning Ground, Crane, Indiana; and Main Cantonment Area, Ft. Campbell Kentucky, U. S. A. ). Observed field data show that well hydrographs obtained in multiple porosity systems are valid indicators of hydraulic properties of the associated fractured and/or karst aquifers. Results show matrix transmissivity (T) values to be in good agreement with values calculated using more traditional parameter estimation techniques such as aquifer pumping tests and slug tests in matrix dominated wells. While the hydrograph analysis technique shows promise for obtaining reliable estimates of aquifer T with a simple, relatively inexpensive and passive method, the utility of the technique is limited in its application depending on site-specific hydrologic conditions, which include shallow, submerged fractured or conduit systems located in areas with sufficient rainfall for water levels to respond to precipitation events.

It overlies alluvium and Pleistocene muds which overlap Mesozoic bedrock. A discontinuous veneer of fill, up to 3m deep, overlies the Bay Mud. Land reclamation and runway construction caused consolidation and settlement of the airfield to more than 2 m below sea level. The airfield drainage system consists of storm drains connected to a perimeter ditch and dewatering pumps. Hydraulic conductivity of the Bay Mud is on the order of 10 (super -6) to 10 (super -8) cm/s. Tidal influence on the water table is negligible. The depth to the water table varies from a few tens of em in the winter to more than 2 m during the late summer. When the water table is low, desiccation cracks form and the crack surfaces oxidize. When the water table rises, the clays swell and close the cracks. When the water table falls, the cracks reform along the oxidized surfaces. Light contaminants (LNAPLs) that float on the water table (e. g. , fuels), tend to migrate along the desiccation cracks rather than spreading out as plumes. Lateral contaminant migration is largely limited to buried utilities and artificial fill. Dense contaminants (DNAPLs), particularly chlorinated solvents, have properties which allow the penetration of clay. They continue to sink up to 8 m until they degrade to lighter compounds. Because the saturated clay is anoxic, chlorinated solvents commonly degrade into vinyl chloride.

AN - 36419261; 8121 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood mitigation plan for the 8.5 Square Mile Area (SMA), located in southern Florida, is proposed. This final EIS supplements the final EIS of April 1999 on the implementation of a comprehensive plan for the restoration, protection, and preservation of the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades. The south Florida ecosystem is a naturally and internationally unique and important natural resource which has been severely impacted by human activities for over 100 years. The Central and South Florida Project, authorized by Congress in 1948, is a multipurpose project providing flood control, water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses, prevention of saltwater intrusion, water supply for Everglades National Park, and protection of fish and wildlife resources. The 8.5 SMA, a component of the Modified Water Deliveries (MWD) to the Everglades National Park Project, is a populated area located approximately 6.6 miles south of the Tamiami Trail (US 41). It is bounded on the west by the Everglades National Park and separated from the more intensively developed urban lands to the east by the L-31N flood protection levee and borrow canal. Since 1992, several of the other features of the MWD Project have been constructed; however, the full implementation of the MWD cannot occur until flood mitigation is provided for the 8.5 SMA. Eleven alternatives are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS. Alternatives would involve variously levee construction, land acquisition, flowage easements, drainage systems, a seepage canal, and/or pumping facilities. The recommended plan (Alternative 6D) would consist of perimeter and interior levees as well as a seepage canal. The perimeter levee on the western boundary of the project area would range from approximately 500 to 5,500 fee east of the westernmost boundary of the 8.5 SMA. To implement this component of the plan, 2,335 acres would be purchased and flowage easements would be obtained on 546 acres. The seepage canal and interior levees would run along 205th Avenue north from 168th Street to 132nd Street, then east along 132nd Street to the L-31N canal. The seepage canal would be designed to maintain the groundwater levels within the area inside of the outer levee at the same levels as existed prior to the MWD project. A new pumping plant, located at the southern terminus of the seepage canal, would discharge seepage water south into a treatment area. The estimated cost of the recommended pan is $106.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall WMD plan would achieve the restoration of more natural flows of water, including sheetflow, improved water quality, and development of more natural hydroperiods in the south Florida ecosystem. Improvements to native flora and fauna, including threatened and endangered species, would result from the restoration of natural hydrologic conditions. Project features would vastly increase water storage and supply for the natural system as well as providing water for urban and agricultural needs, while maintaining current Central and Southern Florida Project purposes. The 8.5 SMA project would provide flood protection to the affected area, allowing completion of the WMD plan. The 8.5 SMA project would increase the extent of wetland within the area by 7,464 acres. The number of functional wetland habitat units available would increase by 1,322. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended 8.5 SMA plan would result in the displacement of 35 owner-occupied residences and 20 tenant-occupied residences and 215 acres of farmland, resulting in an annual loss of up to $530,00 million in agricultural income. A number of landowners would be unwilling sellers. Project activities could have significant adverse impacts on cultural resources, requiring significant administrative costs in dealing with such impacts.

Preparation date: July 28, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVING THE REGULATORY PROCESS IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, COLLIER AND LEE COUNTIES, FLORIDA. AN - 16338571; 8118 AB - PURPOSE: The issuing of permits by the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the filling of wetlands, located in southwestern Florida, is presented. The 988,800-acre study area lies along the southwest coast of Florida and is bounded on the north by the south shore of the Caloosahatchee River, on the east by the Hendry County line and State Road 29, on the south by the Ten Thousand Islands and Marco Island, and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. A variety of valuable natural resources occur in the area, including protected species, other fish and wildlife, wetlands, preserves, refuges, water supply resources, floodplain, and shoreline. Pressure for development has resulted in requests for permits from the Corps (Jacksonville District) to fill a substantial extent of wetlands in the study area. Based on data and maps from a Geographic Information System, the work of an Alternatives Development Group, water quality modeling, and other sources, a number of predicted futures for the study area were evaluated. The Corps initiated the EIS out of a concern whether the incremental (permit-by-permit) reviews were adequately addressing cumulative and secondary effects of the wetland fill in the rapidly growing area. Issues evaluated in detail include property rights, water management, water quality, ecosystem function, wildlife habitat, listed species, regulatory efficiency and effectiveness, economic sustainability, local land use policy, mitigation of impacts, cumulative and secondary impacts, restoration and retrofitting, wetland resources, and public land management and use. Five sets of predicted futures (ensembles) and the criteria that, if applied, would result in each of those futures, are considered in this final EIS, which would be used by the Corps and other agencies to evaluate the cumulative impacts of future permit decisions in the study area. Two alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are under consideration. Under the proposed action, the Corps would use the information in this EIS in the review of future permits. The information would be used to identify the issues that may be relevant to the project site, provide a source of information on potential effects of the project on various issues, provide a reference on the possible effects of the location and quantity of fill, and describe potential effects of alternative permit conditions or restraints. The Corps is not proposing to decide, based on this EIS, to establish the location of fill, quantity of fill, or on any condition or constraint on any piece of property. That decision can only be made after review of an application. The EIS provides a set of standardized natural resource criteria in reviewing permit applications in southwest Florida. Each ensemble represented a possible future state. Ensemble Q builds on the comprehensive plans and provides a larger acreage of development than the comprehensive plan. Ensemble R represents the status quo, incorporating the comprehensive plans of both counties. Ensemble S provides greater emphasis on listed species and their habitat, particularly wide-ranging species such as the Florida panther and Florida black bear. Ensemble T seeks to increase the area of preserves through restore, retrofit, and redevelopment of vacant lands within Lehigh Acres, greater protection afforded to isolated wetlands, and limitation on the extent of clearing and filling activities, within Golden Gates Estates and other areas. Ensemble U proposes the largest area of preserve among the Ensembles through criteria that limit the conversion of natural vegetation to other land cover types. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The assessment of the possible futures would allow for more efficient, timely, and appropriate permit decisions while balancing the demands of growth and development against those associated with protection of the environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Decisions on permit applications and the implementation of various other regulatory options could conflict with certain plans for development and other land use changes. Permits would allow the filling of wetland and the associated wildlife habitat, though the proposed action would not predetermine the issuance of a permit for a given development.

AN - 36408637; 8116 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 15.2-mile, four-lane, limited-access tolled expressway from Pennsylvania State Route 88/Pennsylvania Turnpike 43 in eastern Washington County to US Route 119 (US 119) near the city of Uniontown in Fayette County, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, is proposed. US 40, which accommodates traffic within the corridor study area, is characterized by numerous road deficiencies and inadequate roadway capacity. Efforts of the National Road Heritage Park in the area to protect the character of this National Road also need support. US 40 is the nation's first federal road. Known as the National Road, it was built across southwestern Pennsylvania from 1811 to 1818 to open the west for settlement. A No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management and congestion management system strategies, US 40 improvement, and toll road alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Two toll road alternatives are under consideration in detail. The North Alternative (the preferred alternative) would include a facility on the north side of US 40, and the South Alternative would include a facility on the south side of US 40. The typical mainline section would consist of two 12-foot northbound lanes and two 12-foot southbound lanes, separated by a 60-foot median. The facility would be classified as a rural, limited-access facility with a design speed of 70 miles per hour. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The tolled expressway would provide a means of regulating traffic flow within the corridor, while ameliorating the problems affecting US 40 and allowing the National Road to maintain a large measure of its historical integrity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 71 residential units, eight buildings housing five commercial establishments, and one building owned by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and the loss of 316.1 acres of farmland owned by a total of 31 farm operators, 657 acres of forest, and 303 acres of rangeland. The project would adversely affect 6,095 feet of perennial stream, 10.2 acres of floodplain, and 6.3 acres of wetlands. Buffer zones adjacent to growths of tall larkspur and American gromwell, state-listed endangered species, would also be adversely affected. The facility would cross the National Road, adversely affecting its historic setting, and traverse 55 acres of land with a high probability of containing archaeological resources as well as 339 acres with a moderate probability and 987 acres with a low probability of containing such resources.

AN - 36407754; 8122 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project for Chesterfield valley, located in eastern Missouri, is proposed. The Great Flood of 1993, which overtopped and breached levees along the Mississippi River and its tributaries causing widespread damage to farms and communities, sparked national concern about the reliability of many flood control systems in the region. One of the largest urban centers affected by the flood was in the valley of Chesterfield, located 15 miles west of St. Louis along the west bank of the Missouri River between River Mile (RM) 45 and RM 38.5. Approximately 4,700 acres of Chesterfield valley is protected by a privately constructed levee system that is owned and maintained by the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee District. During the early 1980s, the levee system was improved to provide 100-year frequency flood protection. The 1993 flood breached the levee systems, resulting in business closure, evacuation of residents, and disruption of the transportation system. Estimated flood damages totaled $200 million. Emergency repairs were made to the levee which, authorities determined, had breached due to inadequate seepage control measures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would involve raising the existing levee to provide protection against the 500-year flood profile plus three feet to decrease the risk of overtopping. The levee height between RM 38.01 and RM 43.9 would be raised to 475.01 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Landside levee enlargements would occur from the Centaur Road closure to US 40. In reaches requiring underseepage control measures, a minimum 150-foot-wide, five-foot-thick seepage berms would be created. The remaining portion of the levee along Bonhomme Creek would have a variable setback. Earthen materials for the levee improvements would be provided by the local sponsor from surrounding lands. The levees and closure structures would be connected to a continuous line of protection by reinforced concrete floodwalls. Relief wells and new pumping plants would be required. The estimated first cost of construction is $67.7 million, and the estimated average annual operation and maintenance costs are $79,610. The estimated benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.76. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of protection against the 500-year flood would protect human health and safety as well as commercial and transportation infrastructure. The plan would provide an estimated $3.82 million in annualized inundation damage reduction and other benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project activities would adversely affect up to 3.73 acres of open wetlands, 2.36 acres of farmed wetlands, 3.73 acres of forested wetlands, and 0.07 acres of emergent wetlands, though these impacts would be mitigated by the creation of additional wetlands elsewhere. The project would require the relocation of overhead power transmission lines and buried gas lines at 20 locations. Two railroad line closures and three road closures would be required. Borrow material removal would adversely affect farmland and bottomland forest along the river.

Preparation date: July 26, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BOLSA CHICA LOWLANDS RESTORATION PROJECT, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36416519; 8113 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration project for the Bolsa Chica Lowlands, located in southwestern California, is proposed. Historically, Bolsa Chica was part of an extensive tidal marsh, including a mosaic of vegetated salt and brackish marsh, with associated tidal embayments, sloughs, and mudflats. In 1899, the area was diked to prevent tidal exchange in order to manage the resultant ponds as a waterfowl hunting club. Subsequently, the site was further altered by filling, oil extraction activities, flood control structures, and surface and subsurface hydrologic modifications. The surround area was also developed for a variety of uses, including extensive residential and commercial development. Bolsa Chica still contains a significant fraction of the historical marsh system, but its wetland and aquatic functions have been degraded from those that existed historically. The project area includes four parcels: 880 acres of the Bolsa Chica Lowlands purchased in February 1997 from the Signal Bolsa Corporation, acquired through the combined efforts of eight state and federal agencies, with title to the property held by the California State Lands Commission (CSLC); the 300-acre California Department of Fish and Game Ecological Reserve leased from the CSLC; the 42-acre Fieldstone property; and a 25-acre parcel formerly owned by the Metropolitan Water District in the Bolsa Pocket. The project would restore wetland and aquatic functions at Bolsa Chica as oil extraction is phased out and after contaminates are removed. After state and federal agencies assess the extent of contamination, the oil company currently operating at the site would clean up contamination in the area under an agreement with the relevant agencies. The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach would provide a portion of funding for the project in exchange for mitigation credits. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the proposed action, Alternative 5) would involve the creation of 366.5 acres of habitat that would receive a full tidal range through an ocean inlet near Huntington Mesa. The full tidal area would be created by buying out and abandoning oil wells located on a portion of the acquired property and on the adjacent state ecological reserve, dredging approximately 2.7 million cubic yards of material to create a basin, constructing a berm around the basin, constructing an ocean inlet into the basin, and constructing a bridge to carry the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) over the inlet channel. Approximately 200 acres of the area would be muted tidal and connected to the full tidal basin by culverts through a levee. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would enhance over-wintering habitat for migratory shorebirds, seabirds, and waterfowl; expand nesting habitat for migratory shorebirds and seabirds; increase habitat for estuarine and marine fish; contribute to the recovery of the light-footed clapper rail, California least tern, western showy plover, and Belding's savannah sparrow; modify the hydraulic regime of the area to achieve habitat objectives; protect the interests of contiguous property owners; and provide for public uses that include passive, nonintrusive recreational activities. Wetland restoration in the area would also offset the loss of habitat from future landfill construction in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The grading of the full tidal basin and the construction of the berms and the tidal inlet would result in considerable disturbance at the site. The construction of the inlet and prefill of the ebb bar would disturb marine organisms in the vicinity of these activities temporarily. The removal of nontidal pickleweed to construct the full tidal basin could result in temporary loss of 118 to 138 Belding's savanna sparrow territories. All beaches 800 feet north and south of the project area would be closed to public access during the construction of the PCH bridge, resulting in the temporary loss of surfing opportunities. Construction equipment would mar visual aesthetics, and construction traffic would present some safety hazards. Construction emissions would result in pollutant levels in excess of federal standards. The increased tidal prism would cause more sand to be lost from the ebb bar, requiring dredging of material from an offshore borrow site to be discharged to the bar, thereby resulting in temporary turbidity. The introduction of tidal flows into the Lowlands could cause groundwater levels in adjacent residential areas to rise and increase salinity in groundwater. The tidal inlet would make the area vulnerable to an offshore oil spill. Tidal inundation around the edges of one island could result in loss of coastal woolly-heads. The part of a eucalyptus grove, designated as an environmentally-sensitive habitat area, could be damaged by the introduction of muted tidal flows. Regular beach nourishment, at two-year intervals, could interfere with the spawning of California grunion.

Preparation date: July 21, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MEADOWLANDS MILLS PROJECT, PROPOSED BY EMPIRE LIMITED, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. AN - 16337697; 8110 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of permits to discharge approximately 2.5 million cubic yards of fill material into 206 acres of waters of the United States, including wetlands, to create dry land to facilitate the construction of a mixed-use commercial development project, located in northeastern New Jersey, is proposed. The project site is within a 592-acre site known as the Empire Tract, and on two acres of adjoining New Jersey Turnpike Authority property. The properties contain mostly wetlands and open waters and are adjacent to the Hackensack River within the Hackensack Meadowlands District in the boroughs of Carlstadt and Moonachie and the township of South Hackensack. The project would also impact six acres of upland. Several development footprint alternatives and alternative sites, and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Meadowland Mills Alternative), the project, known as Meadowlands Mills, would include a super-regional retail/entertainment center with 2.45 million square feet of retail /entertainment space, 2.2 million square feet of office space, 1,000 hotel rooms with a conference center encompassing 799,000 square feet, 13,000 square feet of mass transit facilities, 150,000 square feet of warehouse space, and associated parking structures and roadways. The project would be implemented by Empire, Ltd., in cooperation with The Mills Corporation of Arlington, Virginia. Two footprint alternatives would involve the development of the commercially-zoned site on a 90.5-acre footprint. A 144-acre wetland fill alternative (Empire Tract Alternative B) would include the applicant's computation of 53.5 acres needed for water control infrastructure and transportation components, in addition to the 90.5 acres. A 134-acre wetland fill alternative (Empire Tract Alternative D) would realize the various components of the project through a modified site layout, resulting in a smaller development footprint than the 144-acre alternative. Empire's proposed wetland mitigation plan would entail the enhancement of 335 acres of wetland and the preservation of 45 acres of wetland on the Empire Tract. The wetlands enhancement component would involve the removal of common reed grasses, followed by the regrading and replanting of these areas to create shallow water, an emergent marsh, and forested, scrub-shrub, and wet meadow habitats. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development would provide an expanded employment base in the area during both construction and operation. Sales and income taxes to municipal, county, state, and federal governments Wetlands mitigation would result in an increase in plant species and habitat diversity designed to improve habitat quality and offset impacts to wildlife. Eleven state-listed threatened or endangered species could benefit. Waterfowl, migratory shorebirds, wading birds and, possibly, other species could benefit via the regional effects of wetlands mitigation and through the reintroduction of tidal flow to brackish wetlands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the development would result in the placement of fill in 134 to 206 acres of waters, including wetlands, further fragmenting existing common reed wetland habitat in the Hackensack Meadowlands. The site would be located on the western edge of a larger block of wetlands that would be reduced. Regional habitat of certain endangered species, including the northern harrier, could suffer from fragmentation. The development would increase vehicular traffic in the area significantly.

Preparation date: July 20, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CALFED BAY-DELTA PROGRAM, SAN FRANCISCO BAY/SAN JOAQUIN RIVER BAY-DELTA, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16342905; 8105 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration and water management program for the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Bay-Delta), located in northern California, is proposed. The 738,000-acre program area extends from southern to northern California and includes the lowlands and uplands in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River watersheds; Suisun Bay and Marsh, San Pablo Bay, and the San Francisco Bay watershed; and Tulare Lake, Consumnes River, Mokelumne River, and other rivers and waterways connected to the San Joaquin River. The Bay-Delta area, which constitutes the largest estuary on the West Coast, consists of a maze of tributaries, sloughs, and islands that provides a haven for plants and wildlife, supporting more than 750 plant and animal species and providing critical resources for the California economy. Economic resources include drinking water for two-thirds of all Californians and irrigation water for over 7.0 million acres of the most productive agricultural land in the world. For decades, the area has been the focus of competing economic, ecological, urban, and agricultural interests, resulting in declining wildlife habitat, loss of habitat for native plant and animal species, the degradation of the Delta as a reliable source of high-quality water, and a Delta levee system faces with high risk of failure. State and federal agencies signed a Framework Agreement in June 1994 that provided increased coordination and communication for environmental protection and water supply dependability. The resulting CALFED Bay-Delta Program oversees the coordination of 18 state and federal agencies with regulatory and management responsibilities in the Bay-Delta to develop a long-term solution to fish and wildlife, water supply reliability, flood control, and water quality problems. In March 1998, a draft programmatic EIS covering the program was issued. A preferred program alternative has since been identified; hence, a revised draft EIS was published. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Each of the action alternatives, including the preferred alternative, would include a core program that would address the issues of ecosystem restoration, water quality, levee system integrity, water use efficiency, water transfers, watershed management, storage, and conveyance options. Under Alternative 1, delta channels would be maintained essentially in their configuration. Several improvements would be made in the south delta. Under Alternative 2, significant improvements to north delta channels would accompany the south Delta improvement of Alternative 1. Under Alternative 3, dual-delta conveyance would be formed around a combination of modified delta channels and a new canal or pipeline, connecting the Sacramento River in the north Delta to the State Water Project and Central Valley Project export facilities in the south Delta. The preferred alternative would address water supply and water management, water quality, groundwater use, fisheries and aquatic ecosystems, vegetation and wildlife habitat, agricultural land and water use, agricultural economics, agricultural social issues, urban land use, urban water supply economics, utilities and public services, recreation resources, flood control, hydroelectric power generation, and regional economics. It would include elements similar to some of the elements in Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. While it would include a diversion facility on the Sacramento River and channel to the Mokelumne River, the size of this facility would be considerably smaller than under Alternative 2. If, after additional analysis, the diversion facility were not constructed, the preferred alternative would be most similar to Alternative 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The program would help to restore a vital wetlands area, lower toxicants in the water system, conserve over three million acre-feet of water by the year 2020, strengthen levees throughout the Delta, reduce drought-induced economic damage by improving flows from one region to another, and improve overall watershed management. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of storage and conveyance facilities would adversely affect water quality in the short term and adversely affect on fish habitat and migration in the long term. Increased water conservation for ecosystem restoration would reduce water availability for agricultural and municipal uses during drought conditions. Air quality would be adversely affected for a short period. Vegetation and wildlife communities would also be adversely affected. Farmland and other agricultural land would be converted, and job losses could occur. The project could result in significant adverse visual impacts.

AN - 36405118; 13505 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of 3.0 million cubic yards of disposal and/or re-use capacity for dredge spoil from the Port of Los Angeles Channel Deepening Project, Los Angeles County, California is proposed in this draft supplement to the final supplemental EIS of April 2000. The deepening of the Inner Harbor channels of the Port of Los Angeles, California was proposed in a September 1995 final EIS. The final supplemental EIS of April 2000 addressed dredging depths and disposal options and capacity. The overall channel deepening project was proposed to allow the harbor to accommodate the most modern vessels in the commercial container fleet. The project site is located at the southern end of the city of Los Angeles and includes portions of the Los Angeles Inner and Outer Harbors, San Pedro Bay. Existing navigation channels and basins within the harbor are dredged to 45 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW), which does not provide enough draft for many newly build container vessels. Both alternative dredge depths and disposal sites are assessed in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of 1992, as are 21 specific dredge/disposal combinations. The channels would be dredged to a depth of 53 feet below mean lower low water. This draft supplemental EIS addresses two disposal alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3); the latter alternative would preclude the completion of the channel deepening project as disposal capacity would not meet disposal requirements. Alternative 1 would provide for the placement of dredged material at the following locations: Berths 243, 244, and 245, the Northwest Slip, Cabrillo Shallow Water Habitat (CSWH), and Ocean Disposal Site (ODS) LA-2. Alternative 1 would optimize beneficial use of the dredge spoil through port development and environmental enhancement applications. Port development uses of dredge spoil under Alternative 1 would result in the creation of a confined disposal facility to cap existing contaminated sediments at Berths 243, 244, and 245 and creation of a five-acre land area at the Northwest Slip to allow for more efficient and safer vehicle turning movements. Environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material would include creation of shallow water habitat and an Eelgrass habitat area. Alternative 2 was developed with a focus on environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material and does not include any disposal sites associated with port development. Alternative2 would include expansion of the CSWH, creation of the Eelgrass Habitat Area, and disposal of the remaining dredge spoil at ODS LA-2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depths of the channels and basins within the harbor would allow the facility to accommodate the newest generation of container ships with drafts of up to 47.6 feet and larger ships that draft up to 52 feet. The new depths would allow container carriers to cut costs and improve the economic position of the port. Beneficial re-use of the dredge spoil would allow the last phase of the deepening project to be completed, while providing for port enhancements and contributing to efforts to protect and enhance the environment of San Pedro Bay. Creative re-use of the dredge spoil would add to the life of ODS LA-1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Emissions of air pollutants during dredging and disposal would exceed federal standards. Noise from operation of the 35-acre Southwest Slip Fill Site would significantly impact five residences near the Cabrillo Shallow Water Expansion Site. Potentially significant historic buildings and structures at Berths 118 to 120 would be destroyed due to construction of the Southwest Slip Fill Site.

Environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material would include creation of shallow water habitat and an Eelgrass habitat area. Alternative 2 was developed with a focus on environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material and does not include any disposal sites associated with port development. Alternative2 would include expansion of the CSWH, creation of the Eelgrass Habitat Area, and disposal of the remaining dredge spoil at ODS LA-2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depths of the channels and basins within the harbor would allow the facility to accommodate the newest generation of container ships with drafts of up to 47.6 feet and larger ships that draft up to 52 feet. The new depths would allow container carriers to cut costs and improve the economic position of the port. Beneficial re-use of the dredge spoil would allow the last phase of the deepening project to be completed, while providing for port enhancements and contributing to efforts to protect and enhance the environment of San Pedro Bay. Creative re-use of the dredge spoil would add to the life of ODS LA-1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Emissions of air pollutants during dredging and disposal would exceed federal standards. Noise from operation of the 35-acre Southwest Slip Fill Site would significantly impact five residences near the Cabrillo Shallow Water Expansion Site. Potentially significant historic buildings and structures at Berths 118 to 120 would be destroyed due to construction of the Southwest Slip Fill Site.

AN - 36391770; 13505-080272_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of 3.0 million cubic yards of disposal and/or re-use capacity for dredge spoil from the Port of Los Angeles Channel Deepening Project, Los Angeles County, California is proposed in this draft supplement to the final supplemental EIS of April 2000. The deepening of the Inner Harbor channels of the Port of Los Angeles, California was proposed in a September 1995 final EIS. The final supplemental EIS of April 2000 addressed dredging depths and disposal options and capacity. The overall channel deepening project was proposed to allow the harbor to accommodate the most modern vessels in the commercial container fleet. The project site is located at the southern end of the city of Los Angeles and includes portions of the Los Angeles Inner and Outer Harbors, San Pedro Bay. Existing navigation channels and basins within the harbor are dredged to 45 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW), which does not provide enough draft for many newly build container vessels. Both alternative dredge depths and disposal sites are assessed in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of 1992, as are 21 specific dredge/disposal combinations. The channels would be dredged to a depth of 53 feet below mean lower low water. This draft supplemental EIS addresses two disposal alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3); the latter alternative would preclude the completion of the channel deepening project as disposal capacity would not meet disposal requirements. Alternative 1 would provide for the placement of dredged material at the following locations: Berths 243, 244, and 245, the Northwest Slip, Cabrillo Shallow Water Habitat (CSWH), and Ocean Disposal Site (ODS) LA-2. Alternative 1 would optimize beneficial use of the dredge spoil through port development and environmental enhancement applications. Port development uses of dredge spoil under Alternative 1 would result in the creation of a confined disposal facility to cap existing contaminated sediments at Berths 243, 244, and 245 and creation of a five-acre land area at the Northwest Slip to allow for more efficient and safer vehicle turning movements. Environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material would include creation of shallow water habitat and an Eelgrass habitat area. Alternative 2 was developed with a focus on environmental enhancement uses of the remaining material and does not include any disposal sites associated with port development. Alternative2 would include expansion of the CSWH, creation of the Eelgrass Habitat Area, and disposal of the remaining dredge spoil at ODS LA-2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depths of the channels and basins within the harbor would allow the facility to accommodate the newest generation of container ships with drafts of up to 47.6 feet and larger ships that draft up to 52 feet.

Preparation date: July 10, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 25 CORRIDOR AND US ROUTE 85 CORRIDOR (PROJECT IM 0252-317), DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 16341262; 8097 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements in the South Interstate Highway 25 (I-25) corridor and the US Route 85 (US 85) corridor, located in central Colorado, is proposed. The I-25 corridor extends from Colorado State Highway 470 (CO 470) at approximate mile post 195 (MP 195) to the southern limit of Castle Cork at approximate MP 178 and the US 85 corridor extends from CO 470 at approximate MP 200 to Castle Rock at approximate MP 184. The north-south peak travel demand in northern Douglas County has grown at a pace faster than the surrounding metropolitan area. These trips, primarily commuter travel to jobs in the Denver central business district and the southeast business district, have overtaxed the existing infrastructure. For the I-25 corridor, three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), and several other I-25 improvement options are considered in this draft EIS. For the US 85 corridor, two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), and one other US 85 improvement option are under consideration. Alternative 2 for the I-25 corridor would focus on I-25 mainline widening to add one general-purpose lane in each direction without major interchanges reconstruction or improvements. The existing interchanges would be improved minimally where necessary to accommodate the widening of I-25. Bridge reconstruction would be required for the crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad north of Wolfensberger Road. All Early-Action projects (Colorado Department of Transportation safety improvement projects that are already constructed or scheduled to be constructed within the next five to ten years) would be included. The facility would provide eight lanes between CO 470 and Meadows/Founders Parkway and six lanes between the parkway and Douglas Lane. Alternative 3 for the I-25 corridor would include all elements under Alternative 2 as well as a new diamond interchange at Surrey Ridge, an east-side frontage road between Castle Pines Parkway and Lincoln Avenue, the removal of Schweiger interchange I-25 ramps, Castle Pines Parkway interchange reconstruction with a loop ramp in the southeast quadrant, a carpool lot in the northeast quadrant of the I-25/Castle Pines Parkway interchange, and a widened Happy Canyon Road Bridge. Other I-25 corridor options under consideration include the construction of a diamond interchange at the proposed Rampart Range Road along with an east-side frontage road connecting Rampart Range Road and Castle Pines Parkway, and the retention of six lanes between Castle Pines Parkway and the Meadows/Founders Parkway. The action alternative for the US 85 corridor (Alternative B) would focus on complete reconstruction and mainline US 85 widening to add general-purpose lanes in each direction. Where needed, the existing culverts would be expanded and the eroded drainage structures would be replaced to accommodate widening. All Early-Action projects would be included. US 85 would be widened to six lanes between CO 470 and Titan Road and to four lanes between Titan Road and Meadows Parkway and the US 85/CO 67 intersection would be reconfigured. As an option, a four-lane section could be provided between Highlands Ranch Parkway and Titan Road. The estimated costs of implementation Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 for the I-25 corridor are $66.3 million and $95.3 million, respectively. The estimated cost of the US 85 improvements is $93.5 million, less $1.7 million if the four-lane option were implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve north-south mobility and travel safety in northern Douglas County in a manner that would enhance efficient management and maintenance of transportation facilities, while maintaining sensitivity to the environment, wildlife resources, and the quality of life within the county. Hours of congestion would be reduced during peak periods by 2.5 hours northbound and four hours southbound on I-25. Hours of congestion would be reduced during peak periods by 5 hours in each direction on US 85. Local access would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: US 85 improvements would result in two residential and two commercial displacements and adversely affect four historic properties the Cherokee Ranch property, as well as seven park and recreational facilities. Improvements to I-25 would under either action alternative would adversely affect the historic Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, one other historic site, and habitat for the federally-protected Preble's Meadow jumping mouse. Noise levels would increase along both corridors.

Preparation date: July 10, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LEGACY PARKWAY, INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 215 AT 2100 NORTH IN SALT LAKE CITY TO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 15 AND US ROUTE 89 NEAR FARMINGTON, DAVIS AND SALT LAKE COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36407906; 8092 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Legacy Parkway from Interstate Highway 215 (I-215) at 2100 North in Salt Lake City to the intersection of I-15 and US Route 89 (US 89) near Farmington, located in northern Utah, is proposed. The approximately 14-mile-long, four-lane, limited-access, divided highway would be constructed to provide a portion of the highway facilities needed in the North Corridor for the year 2020. A multiple-use trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians would parallel the highway. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A would be the easternmost alternative and include two frontage roads and, under one option, extend from south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful to north of Parrish Lane in Centerville. Alternative B would be the westernmost alignment in North Salt Lake and Farmington and include four frontage roads. Termini for Alternative B would be the I-15/US 89 interchange and I-15 in Kaysville; a split connection would branch off in the vicinity of Lund Lane in Farmington. Alternative C would be the westernmost alignment in Centerville and would include two frontage roads. Option C1 would lie west of Sheep Road and extend from approximately two miles north of Parrish Lane to approximately 0.6 mile south of Lund Lane in Centerville. Option C2 would extend from Center Street to a point approximately 0.9 mile north of 900 North in North Salt Lake City; it would lie 328 feet west of Alternative C. The preferred alternative (Alternative PA) would be a combination of portions of Alternative A and Alternative C. South of 900 North in Woods Cross, it would follow the Alternative C alignment. Just north of 900 North, it would transition to the Alternative A alignment. It would continue on the Alternative A alignment to a point just north of 500 South in West Bountiful, then transition to an alignment approximately 263 feet east of and parallel to Alternative C. It would rejoin Alternative C just south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful and remain congruent with Alternative C to Porter Land in Davis County. At this point, it would transition east and coincide with Alternative A just south of Parrish Lane in Centerville. From this point to the I-15/US 89 interchange, it would be congruent with Alternative A. It would include three frontage roads. The associated Legacy Nature Preserve would comprise 1,251 acres. An additional 317 acres would be preserved adjacent to the Farmington Bay Wildlife Management Area to compensate for indirect impacts on wildlife. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $369 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The parkway would provide for safe and efficient movement of people and goods project for the area through the year 2020. The facility would also provide an alternative north-south route through the North Corridor for use when I-15 is closed or congested. An additional high-speed route for emergency vehicles would be available. The parkway would constitute a buffer zone between developed areas and the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. The preferred alternative would result in the protection of 332 acres of wetland. Approximately 4,410 acres of potentially developable land would lie adjacent to the preferred alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of four residences, 14 businesses, and 10 horse paddocks, as well as the loss of 114 acres of wetlands, 64 acres of prime farmland, 9.8 acres of recreational land, and one historic property. It would encroach on the Bountiful Sanitary Landfill and could impede access to the landfill.

Congressional legislation directed the development of local river management plans by each of the 12 affected municipalities, Atlantic and Camden counties, and the State of New Jersey, as well as a joint development of a comprehensive management plan by the National Park Service (NPS). A two-tier approach to the management of the designated corridor acknowledges both the importance and preference for local leadership and the additional protection afforded by federal wild and scenic river designation. Local authorities have been encouraged to develop local river management boundaries that exceed the recommended federal boundary of 0.25 mile from high water on either side of the river. The comprehensive management plan would establish the basic philosophy of resource protection and provide a rationale for making management decisions that affect those resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative I, the Continue Existing Trends Alternative), which would continue the present management regime, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative II would establish an advisory council within the Atlantic County Government. The NPS would be a participant in the council and could provide both technical and financial assistance. Alternative III would provide for more detailed NPS management with a more active role, becoming more of a driving force behind initiatives and decision-making. Alternative IV (the preferred alternative) would establish a Great Egg Harbor River Council under the organizational structure of the Great Egg Harbor Watershed Association (GEHWA). The NPS would have a strong presence and provide technical and financial assistance. The NPS would assist in implementing visitor service initiatives, education, and oversight as recommended by the council. Much of the NPS involvement would be effected through the use of cooperative agreements. Bylaws and procedures in conformance with state and federal laws would be developed. The council would enter into an agreement with the NPS and would refine needs and seek partnerships with landowners, businesses, and local, state, and federal agencies to implement the comprehensive management plan. Funding partnerships with other state, local, and non-profit organizations would be established. The Congressional mandate established a $70,000 appropriation ceiling for planning assistance. This ceiling would be exceeded for all management alternatives excepting the No Action Alternative. The estimated annual budget for the preferred alternative is $255,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of the council under the preferred alternative would protect water quality, preserve natural features, provide for recreational and agricultural uses, conserve river resources, and maintain existing land use patterns. Using the GEHWA as the mechanism for establishing an independent council would be particularly appropriate given the former organization's history of involvement and its nonprofit status with the Internal Revenue Service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 102-536 and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

AN - 70542673; 12008889 AB - The Corps of Engineers works with local restoration advisory boards (RAB) to exchange information and develop plans for restoration of closed military bases for civilian reuse. Meetings of the RAB to discuss progress in environmental assessment and restoration of former defense sites can be contentious due to the complex technical nature of the information to be shared and the personal stake that the members of the community have in ensuring that contentious areas are restored for safe use. A prime concern of community representatives is often the quality of the data used to make environmental decisions. Laboratory case narratives and data flags may suggest laboratory errors and low data quality to those without an understanding of the information's full meaning. RAB members include representatives from local, state, and tribal governments, the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the local community. The Corps of Engineers representatives usually include project technical and management personnel, but these individuals may not have sufficient expertise in the project quality assurance components and laboratory data quality procedures to completely satisfy community concerns about data quality. Communication of this information to the RAB by a quality assurance professional could serve to resolve some of the questions members have about the quality of acquired data and proper use of analytical results, and increase community trust that appropriate decisions are made regarding restoration. Details of the effectiveness of including a quality assurance professional in RAB discussions of laboratory data quality and project quality management are provided in this paper.

Although many researchers and managers feel that native organisms are easier to use and present less risk to the environment this may not be true. Developing a successful management program with a native insect is dependent on a number of critical factors that need to be considered. Information is needed on the feeding preference of the agent, agent effectiveness, environmental regulation of the agent, unique requirements of the agent, population maintenance of the agent, and time to desired impact. By understanding these factors, researchers and managers can develop a detailed protocol for using the native biological control agent for a specific target plant.

AN - 16352518; 8084 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the King Coal Highway, from the vicinity of Williamson to the vicinity of Bluefield, located in eastern West Virginia, is proposed. While the project would be primarily located in West Virginia, two build alternatives extend into Virginia for approximately one mile. The route of US Route 52 (US 52) represents the primary highway system currently utilized within the study area. The route not only serves through traffic between Williamson and Bluefield, but also serves as a the main street with collector movement characteristics through several communities. The existing facility has many geometric constraints that inhibit the smooth flow of traffic, including varying lane widths, areas of reduced speed, a high percentage of no-passing zones, and steep grades. The project would provide a four-lane divided highway with partially-controlled access that would address the region's transportation demands and resolve isolation problems. The logical termini for the highway have been determined to be US 52 at the intersection of US 119 on the west and Interstate Highway 77 (I-77) at the US 52/I-77 interchange on the east. Eight alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative, a combination of segments from the six build alternatives under consideration, would be a 94-mile-long facility with a 4.9-mile connector road to facilitate efficient access from the facility to Williamson and to the Mingo County Airport. Interchanges and grade separations would be provided as necessary. The estimated cost of the project is $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve the movement of through traffic and local access regionally. Travel times within the corridor in the year 2020 would be decreased by nearly on half. Transportation energy consumption within the corridor would decline significantly, which would improve regional air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 277 residences, seven businesses, and 11 community facilities. The project would also result in the loss of 17.44 acres of wetlands and 23,655 wildlife habitat units. The facility would cross 108 streams, adversely affecting 25 miles of perennial flow and encroaching on 71 acres of floodplain. Approximately 340 acres or prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance would be taken. The project would adversely affect two architecturally significant structures and four cemeteries eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as well 57 other historic resource sites and traverse 37 acres land with a high probability of containing archaeological resource sites and 788 acres with a moderate probability of containing such resources. Traffic-generated noise within the corridor would violate federal and/or standards for 129 receptors. Construction activities would encounter two sites possibly containing hazardous waste.

Preparation date: June 30, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RANCHO PALOS VERDES, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16352455; 8080 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan, involving erosion and sedimentation control, to restore the marine environment in Portuguese Bend Cover and adjacent areas on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The focus is on controlling the sedimentation and turbidity in the nearshore and offshore zones that result from erosion at the shoreline and has impacted the marine biological community of the area. Prior to the 1950s, rocky reef areas and many intertidal pools were present along he shore and in the nearshore area from Abalone Cover, around Portuguese Point and Inspiration Point, and through Portuguese Bend to Bunker Point. Due to the landslide movement at Portuguese Bend Cove, which has moved material 200 to 400 feet into Portuguese Bend Cove, the previous marine habitat has been covered with debris and sediment eroded from the shoreline by waves and tide, and nearshore and offshore areas have been impacted by siltation and turbidity. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and two subalternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would involve the construction of a dike located 400 feet seaward of the existing bluff toe and surround the Portuguese Bend slide area. The dike would rise from an elevation of 16 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW) to an elevation of 24 feet above MLLW. The dike would consist of a core of quarry run material placed to an elevation of six feet above MLLW to retain sediment to the mean higher high water tide level, thereby preventing or significantly reducing the landslide-generated sedimentation and turbidity downcast. Rock for construction of the dike, which would require 344,000 tons of such material, would be taken from either a mainland quarry or a quarry on Catalina Island. To maintain the structure, approximately 7.0 million cubic yards (cy) of material would be removed from behind the nearshore dike at intervals of 50 years. A portion of the material behind the dike would be expected to be submerged in water behind the dike and part of the material would be expected to be dry material adjacent to the landside bluff. Material would be moved or removed, as necessary, by bulldozers and truck-mounted or crawler cranes. Approximately 7.0 million cy of dredging would be required during the life of the dike. The initial construction period would extend 1.5 years. Maintenance activities would extend over 600 days. The estimated first costs and annualized costs of the proposed action are $27.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Outside the dike, hard rock reef would be re-exposed and re-colonized by marine vegetation and animals. Giant kelp and its associated biological community of plants and animals would particularly benefit. In addition, another 173 acres of existing kelp forests at Bunker Point and 230 acres extending from Bunker Point to Whites Point would benefit from reduced turbidity. The seaside of the dike would probably create intertidal and subtidal hard rock habitat that would be colonized by invertebrates immediately after construction. The habitat would provide additional recreational opportunities for snorkelers and scuba divers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water quality would deteriorate within the dike as landslide materials and other sedimentation settle into the waters and reduce total dissolved oxygen levels. There would be a minor reduction of water-based recreational opportunities within the dike. The dike would alter scenic views from Portuguese Bend residential areas. Construction equipment and truck emissions would result in releases of pollutants in excess of government standards. Air quality would be adversely affected if rock were trucked from a mainland source.

AN - 16350806; 8074 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 65-mile section of US Route 50 (US 50) from just west of Sedalia to just east of Saint Martins near Jefferson City, located in central Missouri, is proposed. The route is a principal arterial highway running east-west across Missouri, connecting Kansas City on the west and Saint Louis on the east. The study corridor also covers approximately 17.5 miles of US 65. Within the project area, portions of US 50 do not meet current highway design standards, and the highway is highly congested within the communities of Sedalia, Tipton, and California. Furthermore, the existing highway geometrics, particularly at US 65, Missouri State Route 5 (NM 5), and NM 87, are substandard and do not adequately accommodate turning movement for trucks. In rural portions of the project area, US 50 is a two-lane facility with poor horizontal and vertical alignment, and narrow, unimproved shoulders; approximately 60 percent of the route is marked to prohibit passing. A No-Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, and a range of build alternatives within four corridor segments are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would be composed of Link Combinations B, D, F, and K. It would be a four-lane freeway that would bypass Sedalia to the north, follow the existing alignment of US 50 past Smithton and Otterville, bypass Tipton to the south, and reach its eastern terminus by following an alignment just to the south of existing US 50. The rights-of-way acquisition would begin in 2004 and the construction would proceed from 2005 to 2015. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $236.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would reduce accident rates on existing US 50 and adjoining routes, improve response time for emergency vehicles, improve access to points east and west along US 50, improve vehicle travel times, and reduce vehicle congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would result in the displacement of up to 216 residential units, 25 businesses with 153 jobs, and one school, and the loss of 28 acres of wetlands. In addition, the construction would disturb three sites potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The facility would encroach on 3.8 miles of floodplain. There would be potential for spills of hazardous materials into surface waters. Construction would temporarily change local circulation patterns. The KATY Trail would be disrupted by one or more new crossings; though the final design will include features that would allow uninterrupted travel along the trail.

Preparation date: June 28, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JOHN T. MYERS AND GREENUUP LOCKS IMPROVEMENTS; INDIANA, KENTUCKY, AND OHIO. AN - 36409688; 8075 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the auxiliary chambers at Greenup Lock and Dam (L&D) and John T. Myers L&D, located in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, is proposed. The Greenup L&D replaced L&Ds 27 through 30 on the Ohio River and L&D 1 on the Big Sandy River with two parallel locks, a 110-foot-by-1,200-foot main lock and a 110-foot-by-600-foot auxiliary lock. The dam is 1,287 feet long, including a 245-foot fixed weir; the remaining length is gated for managing the water level upstream of the structure. Myers L&D is located on the Ohio River at river mile 846. The Myers facility is one of 20 L&D facilities that provide navigation capability of the Ohio River. The main riverward chamber is 1,200 feet long and can handle locking the typical sized tow of 15 barges. The auxiliary landward chamber is used for smaller boats and as a backup when the main chamber is out of service for repairs or maintenance. The dam includes a 10-bay gated spillway section and a 2,239-foot overflow weir section extending to the Kentucky shore. Due to their size, the auxiliary chambers process traffic more slowly than the main chambers and backups occur even with significant notice of lock closure. As navigation traffic increases on the Ohio River, congestion due to these closures, and the resulting delays in shipping, will worsen. Shipping delays are costly to commercial navigation interests and, ultimately, to the general public. The cost of such delays may amount to $10 million or more per event at 1999 traffic levels. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the extension of the 600-foot-long auxiliary chamber to a 1,200-foot-long chamber with additional filling and emptying structures at each L&D. Both the middle and river walls would be lengthened to provide safe approach walls for the extended auxiliary and main chambers. The estimated first costs for the Myers and Greenup projects are $219.2 million and $241.3 million, respectively. The estimated respective benefit-cost ratios are 1.8 and 2.5. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded locks would alleviate commercial navigation traffic congestion on the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers. The extension of the auxiliary locks would permit the same number of tows to lock through the auxiliary system as through the main chamber. Hence, when the main chamber of either lock was closed for repairs or maintenance, navigation traffic at Greenup and Myers would not be disrupted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in soil erosion and runoff, increased turbidity, increased soil stress and damage to aquatic biota due to dewatering for the construction of a culvert, the disturbance of wildlife, the clearance of vegetation, damage to the river shoreline, runoff and ponding in a small wetland area adjacent to the disposal site related to the Greenup component of the project, fish kills from blasting, increased safety risks, the loss of recreational opportunities near the Myers site, the disturbance of mowed grassland and prairie, the disturbance of five acres of riparian forest, and the loss of habitat values for waterfowl. The project would also result in lowered visual quality at the project sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1909.

Preparation date: June 26, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ANTELOPE VALLEY STUDY, LINCOLN, LANCASTER COUNTY, NEBRASKA. AN - 36413936; 8072 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for community revitalization, stormwater management, and transportation improvements in the Antelope Valley area of the city of Lincoln, located in southeastern Nebraska, is proposed. The City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District undertook a major investment study of the area. Flooding along Antelope Creek would cause significant damage to existing and new developments in the valley. Current developments within the area have grown in unplanned ways, creating the potential for under-utilization of land and creating conflicts among various interests. Adequate north-south and east-west vehicular connector routes are absent. Other problems include hazardous railroad crossings, vehicle-pedestrian conflicts, and the lack of recreational facilities for youth. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, is considered in this draft EIS. With respect to community revitalization, the proposed action (the Amended Draft single Package) would encourage the development of a 40,000-square-foot downtown supermarket, mixed-use development downtown, and closer-to-home strategies. It would include overlay districts to encourage development along a common neighborhood theme, stormwater conveyance-related parks and mixed-use development to buffer potentially conflicting land uses, and the marketing of well-located public properties for redevelopment. It would encourage downtown housing in the form of townhomes and mixed-use development as well as an employment center. A bike path linking existing trails with a safe route around downtown would be constructed. A 33-acre park south of the railroad tracks between 28th and 32nd streets would be developed. A medical clinic in the vicinity of Holdrege and 27th streets would be constructed as part of a wrap-around center. A stormwater conveyance channel and improvements to the existing channel would combine to provide a drainage system extending from J Street northward to Salt Creek. The transportation improvements would include the construction of a north-south roadway within the 19th Street corridor from K Street along the east side of UNL to 14th Street near Military Avenue and the construction of an east-west roadway extending from 10th and Avery streets eastward along the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe tracks to Cornhusker Highway and Superior Street. Connections to other major neighborhood streets would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Overall quality of life of residents of Antelope Valley would improve. Neighborhood boundaries would be reinforced by the new roadways, and traffic would be removed from local roads. Emergency vehicle response would improve. Economic development in the area would be spurred, and consistent land uses would be promoted. Tax rolls would increase. The improved stormwater system would remove 835 structures from with floodplain, effectively all structures that could be affected by flood events. By increasing the length of open stream, improving channel cross-section, and providing a continuous greenbelt and a new pond. the project would provide long-term wildlife and aquatic habitat improvements. The redevelopment of the downtown area would create employment opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Amended Draft Single Packet would result in the acquisition and displacement of 46 residential buildings containing 48 households, and 75 privately-owned, non-residential buildings containing 44 businesses. Eleven publicly-owned buildings would also be acquired and replaced along with three softball fields and four other UNL recreation fields and courts. The relocation of some businesses outside the area would have the potential for a certain level of job dislocation. Twelve residential, two commercial, and one recreational properties would be adversely affected by noise levels in excess of federal standards. An estimated 0.9 acre of wetlands would be adversely affected, though these losses would be mitigated. The Antelope Creek floodplain would be reduced to a channel. Development spurred by the project would probably result in the development of a large parcel of farmland on the south side of Superior Street. Five historic houses could require relocation, and three archaeologic sites could be adversely affected. Nine potential hazardous substance release sites, 51 known petroleum release sites, and 59 potential petroleum release sites would lie adjacent to components of the project.

Preparation date: June 23, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO DE FLAG FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, FLAGSTAFF, COCONINO COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36416316; 8066 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of flooding protection for the city of Flagstaff on the Rio de Flag, located in north-central Arizona, is proposed. The study area consists of the stretch of Rio de Flag extending from where it enters the city to the point at which the river crosses under US 66, east of Continental Estates. The Rio de Flag is an ephemeral stream and tributary of the San Francisco Wash, which feeds into the Little Colorado River. Flooding in the Rio de Flag is related to snow melt on the San Francisco Peaks in the spring and runoff from torrential rain storms. Residential, commercial, and industrial development is extensive along the floodplain of Rio de Flag through most of the city. A number of these structures are highly susceptible to flood-related damages in the event of a large storm. Under current conditions, structures valued at $385 million will continue to be subject to potential flood damage. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this revised draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6b) would include bridge modifications upstream of Thorpe Park along the Rio de Flag, flood protection structures and road modifications at Thorpe park, channel modifications along the Clay Avenue Wash and the downtown portion of the Rio de Flag, and a detention basins along the Clay Avenue Wash, just west of the city limits. It would also include a two-block-long covered channel segment along the downtown reach of the Rio de Flag. The covered channel would extend from Dale Street downtown to Birch Avenue and eliminate the need to acquire and demolish any homes along the downtown reach of the Rio de Flag. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide improved flood protection in Flagstaff, thereby reducing public and private flood inundation damages to residential, commercial, industrial, and historic property, and to bridges and road crossings within the study area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative could result substantial, though short-term, degradation of water quality due to sedimentation or the release of fuels or solvents. Biological resources could be adversely affected by the disturbance or removal of riparian and wetland vegetation and the introduction of nonnative weed species from imported fill material. The project would result in temporary closures of trail sections within the Flagstaff Urban Trails System. If blasting were needed, sensitive receptors, including the Flagstaff City Library and City Hall, would experience significant noise impacts. Construction would generate pollutants through vehicle emissions. Grading and hauling would generate dust. The covered channel would alter area aesthetics aversely affecting visual resources. Under the preferred alternative, the project would require the acquisition of one ranch house and 15 mobile homes along the Clay Avenue Wash; while mitigation would ensure adequate financial compensation, it could not substantially mitigate the loss of social ties, upheaval, and the sense of loss that could be experienced by the individuals to be relocated. The development of the covered channel would convert approximately two block of earthen channel to an underground concrete-lined arch.

AN - 16350753; 8067 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 13.1 miles of New Mexico State Forest Highway 45 (FH 45) within the Lincoln National Forest and Otero County, located in southern New Mexico, is proposed. FH 45, known as Forest Road 537 (FR 537) and locally as the Sacramento River Road, is a 50.7-mile route located in the Sacramento Mountains. FH 45 begins in the community of Cloudcroft at an intersection with US Highway 82, extends to the south and east past Sunspot and through Timberon, and terminates at Pinon at a junction with New Mexico State Highway 24 (NM 24). The section of highway under consideration extends from the junction of FH 537 and NM 6563, near Sunspot, southeasterly to Timberon. The existing road is narrow and inconsistent in width, varying from 13 to 26 feet. Shoulders are inadequate or absent. The road has many feature that are considered to be safety hazards on rural collector roads, including sections with inadequate vertical and horizontal sight distance and inadequate width for the accommodation of disabled vehicles. The road does not meet design standards for a rural collector road carrying either the existing or projected year 2020 traffic volumes. The project would involve improving the existing one- and two-lane gravel road to a two-lane paved road. Issues raised during the scoping process include safety, the environment, economic development of the area, changes in the social climate, and other uses of the area. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the roadway would be relocated away from the canyon bottom to allow for the improvement of riparian areas, wetlands, and water quality in the canyon. The facility is currently maintained by Otero County and would continue to be maintained by the county after improvements were completed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved facility would provide a safe, functional, all-weather road connection between Sunspot to Timberon, reduce adverse impacts resulting from close proximity of the existing road to the canyon stream, and improve access to Lincoln National Forest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recreational experience of the remote area would be altered by the presence of a modern roadway with steep, high cut slopes. The project could adversely affect the Mexican spotted owl and would damage six archaeological sites along the construction corridor. Wildlife habitat would be lost, and increased traffic would exacerbate conflicts between wildlife and motorists.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - SOUTHEAST ISSAQUAH BYPASS, CITY OF ISSAQUAH, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 2000). AN - 36369712; 10808-040255_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bypass arterial roadway in the eastern portion of the city of Issaquah, King County, Washington is proposed. Existing traffic volumes are impeding travel within the city; future growth is expected to worsen the problem. The proposed new north-south arterial would connect the Front Street in the south with Interstate 90 (I-90) at the Sunset Interchange in the north. The project design would include traffic control systems, pedestrian and bicycle trail connections, and stormwater management facilities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), were considered in the draft EIS of June 2000. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS. The currently preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would extend southward from a new T-intersection at East Sunset Way, following a portion of the former railroad rights-of-way and the base of Tiger Mountain. In the south, the road would follow an alignment along Sixth Avenue Southeast to a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South. The alignment would then pass the Issaqua Sportsmen's Clubhouse and the Issaquah School District athletic field. Subsequently, the alignment would follow the former railroad rights-of-way around the southern end of Issaquah High School. New traffic signals would be installed at East Sunset Way, the main entrance to a proposed mixed-use development (Park Pointe), a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South, and the new Second Avenue Southeast intersection. The proposed roadway would include two travel lanes in each direction, with center-turn and right-turn lanes at several locations. A hard surfaced pedestrial /bicycle trail would be provided along the entire western edge of the roadway. The rail would connect directly to the Rainier Trail, creating a nearly continuous path from the Issaquah Community Center to the Tiber Mountain trail system. In addition to new trailhead parking facilities at the eastern end of Southeast Andrews Street, this alternative would include traialhead parking with a direction connection to the High School Trail. Retaining walls as high as 50 feet would be provided along both sides of the southern portion of the roadway to minimize impacts to the north tributary of Issaquah Creek, adjacent wetlands, and nearby residential properties. Five stormwater pond systems would be constructed to accommodate surface drainage. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $29.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would significantly enhance north-south movements in the eastern portion of the city. Anticipated economic growth in the area would be supported. Air quality would improve within some segments of the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 25.9 acres of residential land and five single-family residences. Land from an elementary school and a high school would be taken. The historic White Swan Inn and the Sportmen's Clubhouse, also an historic site, would be affected slightly. The facility would constitute a significant visual intrusion into the area. The project would require filling of 0.16 acre of class 2 wetlands and would affect 1.39 acres of wetland buffer area and 0.53 acre of riparian habitat. In addition to habitat fragmentation, approximately 25 acres of forest and shrub habitat would be displaced. Federally protected species, including Chinook salmon, bull trout, Coho salmon, and bald eagles, could be affected. Noise levels affecting receptors along the facility would increase by up to 15 decibels by the year 2030. Energy consumption resulting from vehicular traffic would increase by 10 percent by the same year. The facility would traverse and area affected by seismic activity. Runoff would increase by 12.5 acre-feet per year, and annual infiltration volumes would increase by 10.5 acre-feet.

Air quality would improve within some segments of the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 25.9 acres of residential land and five single-family residences. Land from an elementary school and a high school would be taken. The historic White Swan Inn and the Sportmen's Clubhouse, also an historic site, would be affected slightly. The facility would constitute a significant visual intrusion into the area. The project would require filling of 0.16 acre of class 2 wetlands and would affect 1.39 acres of wetland buffer area and 0.53 acre of riparian habitat. In addition to habitat fragmentation, approximately 25 acres of forest and shrub habitat would be displaced. Federally protected species, including Chinook salmon, bull trout, Coho salmon, and bald eagles, could be affected. Noise levels affecting receptors along the facility would increase by up to 15 decibels by the year 2030. Energy consumption resulting from vehicular traffic would increase by 10 percent by the same year. The facility would traverse and area affected by seismic activity. Runoff would increase by 12.5 acre-feet per year, and annual infiltration volumes would increase by 10.5 acre-feet.

AN - 16352430; 8062 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bypass highway in the eastern edge of the city of Issaquah, located in western Washington, is proposed. The 1.5-mile north-south arterial would connect with Interstate Highway 90 (I-90) at the Sunset Interchange in the north and Issaquah-Hobart Road in the south and provide a new route for north/south travel around the city. Existing traffic volumes are impeding travel within the city and future growth is expected to worsen the problem. Growth management regulations require the city to provide infrastructure capable of serving future planned development. Currently, the city is experiencing a high volume of pass-through traffic and future projections indicate the need to increase mobility by reducing levels on local streets. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would combine the North B alignment with the South B alignment. It would extend southward from the I-90 interchange immediately east of Sportsman's Clubhouse and from the intersection with the proposed Park Pointe development access road. In this area, the bypass would consist of two travel lanes in each direction with paved shoulders on each side. The Issaquah High School northeast athletic field would be relocated slightly to the north and west. South of Issaquah High School, the bypass would curve to the east, with one travel lane and an eight-foot shoulder in each direction. The alignment would pass immediately east of the east end of SE Kramer Place and cross a wetland north of SE 96th Street. A bridge would be provided across the large forested wetland east of LDS Church. The southern terminus of the bypass would be located at a for-way intersection with Front Street and 238th Way SE. Front Street would be realigned to make the bypass a continuation of Issaquah-Hobart Road. The west end of SE 96th Street would curve south to connect to 238th Way SE. The project design would include traffic control systems, pedestrian and trail connections, and stormwater management facilities. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $27.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would significantly enhance north-south movements in the eastern portion of the city. Anticipated economic growth in the area would be supported. Air quality would improve within some segments of the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would require 15.0 acres of right-of-way, displacing 387,361 square feet of residential land, but no residential displacements would be necessary. Land from an elementary school and a high school would be taken, and approximately 950 feet of trail would have to be replaced. The project would require filling of 1.5 acres of floodplain and 0.92 acre of Class 1 wetlands, and adversely affect 4.24 acres of wetland buffer area. Shade and shadow impacts to wetlands would occur. The project would also require the filling of 0.53 acres of riparian habitat and the culverting of approximately 100 feet of stream channel at the south tributary crossing. In addition to habitat fragmentation, the project would result in the loss of approximately 12.4 acres of forest and shrub vegetation. Noise levels affecting receptors along the facility would increase by up to 21 decibels above existing conditions by the year 2015. Energy consumption resulting from vehicular traffic would increase by four percent by the same year. The facility would traverse an area affected by seismic activity. Runoff would increase by 7.55 acre-feet (af) per year, and annual infiltration volumes would increase by 8.54 af. The project could adversely affect bald eagles and Chinook salmon. The project would encroach on Issaquah High and Clark Elementary schools in the central project area, and access and residential disruption would occur in the southern project area. Formal and informal recreational trails would be disrupted. The Tiger Mountain NRCA property would be adversely affected. Property tax revenues would be reduced due to right-of-way acquisition. The realignment of East Sunset Way would adversely affect the historic White Swan Inn. The setting of the historic Issaquah Sportsmen's Clubhouse would be altered. The facility would constitute a significant visual intrusion into the area. Existing views would be altered by a new concrete and asphalt roadway in the project area. Vegetation would be removed and light and glare would increase. The greatest visual change would be associated with the construction of a bridge approximately 1,700 feet in length, with six feet of clearance, in the southern project area.

Preparation date: June 21, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WOODROW WILSON BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT STUDY, INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 FROM TELEGRAPH ROAD TO MARYLAND STATE ROUTE 210, CITY OF ALEXANDRIA AND FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, MARYLAND, AND WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1997). AN - 16336734; 8061 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Woodrow Wilson bridge crossing the Potomac River, a project that would affect the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, is proposed. The Interstate Highway 95 (I-95) corridor, in addition to being the major north-south corridor from Florida to Maine in the metropolitan Washington 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 project extends from Telegraph Road in Virginia to Maryland State Route 210, also known as Indian Head Highway in Maryland. The draft supplement of 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 drawbridge built 30 feet south of the existing bridge and a tunnel built 60 feet south of the new bridge. Alternative 4A would replace the existing bridge with two parallel drawbridges, each 6,075 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 bridge would swing open to allow the passage of marine vessels. Alternative 5 would replace the existing bridge with a 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 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 Federal Highway Administration's (FHA's) final supplemental EIS addressed design changes in the preferred alternative (Alternative 4A) based on litigation initiated by the city of Alexandria, Virginia. The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has adopted certain portions of the FHA's final EIS number 970356 filed September 5, 1997 and final supplemental EIS number 000127 filed April 20, 2000. NCPC was not a cooperating agency for the final EIS. Recirculation of the document Section 1506.3(b) of the Council is necessary under Environmental Quality Regulations. 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 52.9 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 336 residences and 23 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. Three submerged archaeological sites could be adversely affected.

Preparation date: June 21, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRES RIOS, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36407855; 8057 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a fish and wildlife management, recreation, water supply, and flood control plan for the Tres Rios area of the Gila and Salt rivers, located about nine miles west of Phoenix in south-central Arizona, is proposed. The one-mile-wide study area encompasses 9.2 miles and 5,600 acres of river corridor consisting of that portion of the Salt and Gila rivers extending from 83rd Avenue downstream to the Agua Fria River. The Salt River flows into the Gila River just upstream of the 115th Avenue crossing. The Agua Fria River flows into the Gila River near the downstream end of the study area. The natural riparian ecosystem has been degraded due to curtailment of natural flood events, human population encroachment, minimization of base flows, diurnal variations in effluent-dominated surface waters, and introduction of exotic species, such as salt cedar. Issues include geology and morphology, hydrology and water quality, land use and recreation, biological resources, cultural resources, air quality, noise, utilities, social and economic resources, public health and safety, and aesthetic resources. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (the proposed action, Alternative 3.5) would include a pump station to convey wastewater treatment plant discharge to a regulating wetland between 91st Avenue and 99th Avenue. Water would then be conveyed into one linear overbank wetland between 99th Avenue and 113th Avenue. Discharge from the wetland would flow into a pipeline conveying water into eight riparian corridors west of El Mirage Road and then into four open water/marsh areas between El Mirage Road and the Agua Fria River. The open water/marsh areas would be supplied with water from the riparian areas immediately upslope along the banks, natural water flow from the river, and groundwater. The channel would be graded to convey surface water to supply two cottonwood-willow corridors between 111th Avenue and El Mirage Road. Water from dewatering wells would be conveyed into an existing impoundment of water just east of 83rd Avenue and then into the main channel. This water would help create cottonwood-willow riparian corridors and open water/marsh within eradicated saltcedar habitat between 91st Avenue and 115th Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Critical riparian and wetland habitat that have been lost in the region as a result of water resources development in the Phoenix area would be restored. The riparian habitat created by the selected restoration plan would be unlike any other resource in the metropolitan area. Average annual flood control benefits of the proposed levee component, considered as a separable element, would amount to $746,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in sedimentation and turbidity in the affected rivers, the decline of overall habitat values for biological resources in the study area, the disruption of recreational activities and traffic flow, the disturbance of vegetation, the potential disturbance of habitat for southwestern willow flycatchers, the potential disturbance or loss of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the potential damage to roadway surfaces, the disruption of traffic circulation, the generation of emissions of air pollutants and noise, the disruption of utility service, and the degradation of area aesthetics.

AN - 36407794; 8058 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of one long-term water service contract with the Frenchman Valley Irrigation District and the conversion of four water service contracts to repayment contracts with Almena Number 5 and Bostwick Number 2 irrigation districts in Kansas and the Frenchman-Cambridge Irrigation District and Bostwick Irrigation districts in Nebraska, associated with the use of the waters of the Republican River basin, are proposed. The basin encompasses 24,900 square miles of largely unpopulated land largely providing agricultural and wildlife uses. The management of water resources in the basin is of particular importance due to increased surface and groundwater use that has led to a decline in the available water supply. This trend has been worsened by drought and certain soil and water conservation practices, and the situation has been the impetus for litigation under the Republican River Compact of 1943. The supply contracts with the various districts have or are about to expire. The project area includes seven reservoirs that provide off-season irrigation storage for 136,528 acres of farmland. Issues include economic benefits and impacts to agriculture, balanced and competing uses, the cost of water and who pays, conservation and farming practices, contract terms, the relationship of groundwater to surface water, operations, wildlife and fish, recreation, and compact issues. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (the Negotiated Alternative) would establish minimum reservoir elevation pools to benefit irrigation and fish and wildlife, provide a five-percent increase in water delivery efficiency and an average five-percent improvement in on-farm irrigation efficiency, include in-kind irrigation district assistance, and provide for an interagency consensus plan for sharing the decreasing flows to Harlan County Lake. A selenium management process would be implemented to respond to and further analyze levels of selenium encountered during studies in preparation for this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would balance the water needs of resource users in the basin while providing for continued beneficial uses of federally developed water supplies. The alternative would improve on-farm irrigation and water delivery efficiencies and provide for state-recommended minimum pool elevations at selected reservoirs for the benefit of fishery and recreation resources. Incidental benefits to riparian habitat and recreational opportunities should occur at those reservoirs with increased minimum pool elevations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some of the affected irrigation districts would experience irrigation shortages during some years. Bioaccumulation of selenium would pose a potential hazard for aquatic species. Concentrations of metal contaminants, cyclodiene, and toxaphene would exceed indicator levels in some locations and species. Income in the Bostwick Irrigation District of Nebraska would decline somewhat. Reservoir fluctuations and filling patterns, with periodic inundation of vegetation, could cause variations in vegetation type and area extent around shorelines. The plan could contribute to cumulative losses of habitat for avian, and terrestrial wildlife, including migratory waterfowl.

Preparation date: June 19, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER TRINITY RIVER BASIN, TRINITY RIVER; DALLAS, DENTON, AND TARRANT COUNTIES, TEXAS. AN - 36405888; 8059 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of various projects associated with the Upper Trinity River Basin, located in northeastern Texas, is considered. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is located within the basin. Reasonably foreseeable projects pursued by other entities are also identified within the study area and the potential direct and cumulative impacts resulting from implementation of the potential Corps of Engineers (Corps) and other entities' projects are assessed in this final programmatic EIS, as are past actions of the Corps and other entities. Reasonable foreseeable alternatives associated with proposed Corps projects are also assessed. Approximately 90 preliminary potential projects addressing flood damage reduction, ecosystem restoration, and recreation were identified during the feasibility study. Of these, three Corps projects that currently have local sponsorship are viewed as reasonably foreseeable, including the Johnson Creek Project in Arlington, the Stemmons North Industrial Project in Dallas, and the Dallas Floodway Project in Dallas. In addition, the Trinity Parkway, proposed by the Federal Highway Administration and the North Texas Transit Authority as well as the City of Dallas' Trinity River Corridor Master Implementation Plan have the potential to affect study area resources. The Johnson Creek plan would consist of the acquisition and removal of 140 structures from the 25-year floodplain, the construction of 2.25 miles of concrete trails and associated recreational amenities, the acquisition of 94 acres of woodlands and 61 acres of grassland for ecosystem restoration, the employment of forest management techniques to improve wildlife habitat, and the addition of recreation features to the ecosystem restoration lands. The Stemmons North Industrial Corridor would involve construction of levee and floodwall to provide flood protection to approximately 1,000 acres along Manana Drive. An earthen levee would extend from Interstate 35 (Stemmons Freeway) to Wasco Creek, an intermittent earthen levee and concrete floodwall system would extend to the Burlington Northern Railroad track and then to Northwest Highway, and an earthen levee would extend to the embankment of Loop 12. The Dallas Floodway project would consist of raising the existing Dallas East and West Levees. The City of Dallas' Trinity River Corridor Master Implementation Plan would provide for a series of lakes, a split river channel, floodwalls, levee raises, constructed wetlands, recreation trails, parklands, grasslands, pedestrian bridges, and various options for the Trinity Parkway Reliever Route. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood control projects would reduce flood damage in the affected areas, contributing to the protection of human safety and supporting economic development. The projects would contribute favorably to forested resources, floodplain recreation, natural floodplain values, aesthetics, and public services and community structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Stemmons corridor would have little effect on any environmental factors other than hydraulics, but the levees would degrade aesthetics and natural values somewhat. The lakes would displace forested land, and adversely affect minority and low-income populations, community structure, and hydraulics.

Preparation date: June 19, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROCK MINING, FRESHWATER LAKEBELT PLAN, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36413357; 8054 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a framework for the mining of limestone in the Lakebelt study area, located in southern Florida, is proposed. The affected area encompasses approximately 57,515 acres generally bounded by the Everglades/Krome Avenue to the west, the Florida Turnpike to the east, the Miami-Dade/Broward County line to the north, and Kendall Drive to the south. Issues of concern include the historic, present, and projected socioeconomic conditions associated with the excavation and use of limestone in south Florida; the continuation of limestone mining in south Florida wetlands; the existing cultural, biological, chemical, and physical conditions of south Florida wetlands and potential impacts to wetlands as a result of limestone mining; and criteria for use in assessing individual limestone mining permit applications. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan would result in the mining of approximately 15,800 acres of wetlands. The principal feature of the plan would be the on-going development of a comprehensive hydrologic and wetlands mitigation plan. The plan would also include features to implement water control/seepage that would be identified through hydrologic modeling during development and wellfield protection measures if such features were found to be required. Littoral wetland design would be completed during the development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continuation of a reliable source of rock would allow the continued growth and prosperity that peninsular Florida has experienced during the last 30 years. The hydrologic and wetland restoration mitigation features would vastly improve native plant communities and the habitat functions and values they supply within the Pennsuco wetlands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action could result in the direct loss of approximately 15,844 acres of wetlands and associated wildlife habitat at full buildout. A total of 7,738 habitat units would be lost. Other land use categories that would be adversely affected by the plan would include agricultural land, forest, developed lands, prairie, lakes and lake perimeters, canals, tree islands, and willow heads. Plan activities could exacerbate an increasing trend in seepage lost to the east from the Pennsuco wetlands and adjacent areas. The resulting groundwater movement to the east would significantly and adversely affect ponding depth and frequency in the Pennsuco wetlands during the latter years of mining. The portion of the study area south of the Tamiami Trail would have similar hydrologic results on WCA-3B and Everglades National Park as was found in the northern portion of the study area. The excavation of mineral deposits would convert a large portion of the Biscayne Aquifer to surface water, and the introduction of surface runoff could result in significant changes in water quality and the associated wildlife habitat in the Lakebelt area. Water quality in borrow pits associated with plan implementation could also decline. Archaeological resources could be adversely affected by plan activities. Suspended particulate matter generated by mining activities, emissions from mining machinery, and emissions from diesel driven project pumps would degrade air quality in the area. Large tracts of mealeuca forest, a main visual component of the Lakebelt plan, would be displaced. Mining proximate to the Northwest Wellfield could compromise the existing wellfield protection program. The cumulative impacts of the limestone mining could significantly and adversely affect the quality of the human environment.

Preparation date: June 16, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FMC - DRY VALLEY MINE SOUTH EXTENSION PROJECT, POCATELLO RESOURCE AREA AND CARIBOU NATIONAL FOREST, CARIBOU COUNTY, IDAHO. AN - 36408352; 8055 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of existing open-pit phosphate mining operations in the Pocatello Resource Area and Caribou National Forest, located in southeastern Idaho, is proposed. The mine is located on public and private lands approximately 17 air miles northeast of the community of Soda Springs. Elemental phosphorus is an established industrial mineral commodity with international markets and demand. Uses include fertilizer, food supplements, chemicals, and other industrial applications. The initial applicant, FMC Corporation (FMC), recently entered into a joint venture with Solutia, Inc., and created a new company known as Astaris Production LLC (Astaris). The joint venture (Astaris) includes operation of the Dry Valley Mine. FMC began mining at Dry Valley Mine in 1992. Issues identified in the scoping process and the agency's review of FMC's proposed mine extension project include the following: the review of the project design to reduce impacts to wetlands and riparian areas; the evaluation of impacts to water resources from development of the mine extension and the review of alternatives that would reduce or eliminate impacts to water resources; the evaluation of the potential exposure of wildlife, fish and aquatic resources, endangered and sensitive species, and livestock to water and vegetation that could contain elevated levels of selenium and trace metals as a result of the mine extension; the review of the access to public land for hunting and recreation; and the evaluation of the cumulative effects of the mine extension combined with other activity in the Blackfoot River basin. In addition to the proposed action, five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would result in the construction of two open pits (Pits C and D), the construction of three overburden dumps, the backfilling of Pit C and all but a portion of Pit D, the construction of haul roads linking existing ore load-out facilities, and the construction and operation of surface water management facilities, including water diversion and containment structures. All areas disturbed by the mine extension project would be reclaimed. Total land disturbance would be approximately 599 acres, including approximately one acre of Bureau of Land Management-administered land, 114 acres of State of Idaho land, 205 acres of U.S. Forest Service-administered land, and 279 acres of private land owned or controlled by FMC. Mining operations would occur during a ten-year period and reclamation activities could extend beyond the projected ten-year life. The projected bottom elevation of Pits C and D would require mining below the existing water table. FMC's water management system would provide for the collection of groundwater flowing into the pit in an in-pit sump. Water collected in the sump would be pumped to internal pit and external dewatering collection ponds. Water management in the vicinity of the mine extension area would also include the diversion of portions of Dry Valley Creek and run-on and run-off control systems for surface water. Run-off control would include the construction of ditches to collect precipitation and snowmelt from disturbance areas and the installation of sediment retention ponds to capture run-off water. Run-on control would include the diversion of water from undisturbed areas around disturbance areas. The reclamation of disturbance areas would include the use of topsoil or Center Waste shale as growth medium. As backfilled portions of mine pits and overburden dumps reached capacity, these areas would be regraded followed by the placement of growth medium. Sites would be seeded in the appropriate season following preparation. A pit lake would develop in the lower portion of the unfilled Pit D after mine closure. FMC would construct fences to eliminate livestock grazing in reclaimed areas for a period of up to three years or until vegetation was well established. The preferred alternative is Alternative A+B, the project would include all components of the applicant's proposed action but would require FMC to eliminate the pit lake by partially backfilling the final mine panel in Pit and to selectively handle and backfill Pits C and D with a portion of overburden that has greater potential to release selenium and trace metals to the environment. It would also include the implementation of agency required mitigation and monitoring measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mining of phosphate resources would continue to provide a supplies of raw materials for industrial products and benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Selenium and trace metals would be released from overburden, adversely affecting water quality in the shallow alluvial groundwater system associated with Dry Valley Creek and the deeper regional bedrock system surrounding the mine picks. The mining would result in large-scale modification of landforms in the area. Groundwater levels in the vicinity of the pits would drop significantly due to dewatering. Unreclaimed disturbances would include approximately 36 acres of pit highwall and haul road in the southern portion of the Pit D. Approximately 38.4 acres of wetland would be directly eliminated, and elevated levels of selenium would adversely affect wetlands receiving runoff from the site, and thereby associated wildlife, possibly including bald eagles and peregrine falcons. Access restrictions would adversely affect hunters wishing to use the site. Visual resources would be adversely affected in the short term. Approximately 37 acres would be disturbed for the construction of two external, temporary overburden stockpiles.

AN - 36340745; 12907 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a framework plan for limestone mining in Miami-Dade County, Florida is proposed. The affected area, known as the lakebelt study area, encompasses 57,515 acres generally bounded by the Everglades/Krome Avenue to the west, the Florida Turnpike to the east, the Miami-Dade/Broward County line to the north, and Kendall Drive to the south. The final programmatic EIS of May 2000 describes the historic, present, and projected socioeconomic conditions associated with excavation and use of limestone in south Florida; describes and assesses alternatives to the continuation of limestone mining in south Florida wetlands; evaluates existing cultural, biological, chemical, and physical conditions of south Florida wetlands and potential impacts to wetlands as a result of limestone mining; and develops site criteria for use in assessing individual limestone mining permit applications. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS. The recommended plan would result in the mining of approximately 15,800 acres of wetlands. A principal feature of the plan would involve the creation of a comprehensive hydrologic and wetlands mitigation plan. The plan would also include features to implement water control/seepage that would be identified through hydrologic modeling during development and wellfield protection measures if such features were found to be required. Littoral wetland design would be completed during development. This draft supplement to the final EIS considers seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), related to continued mining in the Lake Belt area over the next 50 years. The Lake Belt is an 80-square-mile area between the Everglades and the urbanized areas of the Miami-Dade County. The action alternatives are as follows: 2) continuation of existing permitted mining; 3) the applicant's proposal as outlined in the final EIS; 4) full min-out under the Lake Belt Plan; 5) exclusion of mining or related activities in the western half of the Florida Power and Light Company's transmission corridor; 6) exclusion of mining and related activities beyond existing permits along the eastern border of the Everglades National Park adjacent to the Lake Belt; and exclusion of mining and related activities beyond existing permits along the eastern border of the Everglades National Park and in the western half of the Florida Power and Light Company's transmission corridor. Mitigation measures planned to offset mining damage to wetlands would result in the creation of 18,399 to 19,626 acres of wetlands and the addition to the area of 7,015 to 7,989 habitat units. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation, as proposed in the final EIS of May 2000 would maximize efficient recovery of limestone from the study area while promoting social and economic welfare of the community and protecting the environment, enhance the water supply for Miami-Dade County and the Everglades, and educate various groups and the general public about the benefits of the plan. The hydrologic and wetland mitigation features of the plan would vastly improve native plant communities and the habitat functions and values they supply within the Pennsuco wetlands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan could result in the direct loss of approximately 15,844 acres of wetlands and associated wildlife habitat at full buildout. {{75}} A total of 7,738 habitat units would result, though the net loss could be as low as 4,415 units. {{75}} Other land use categories to be affected by the plan include agricultural land, forest, developed lands, prairie, lakes and lake perimeters, canals, tree islands, and willow heads. Plan activities could exacerbate an increasing trend in seepage lost to the east from the Pennsuco wetlands and adjacent areas. The portion of the study area south of the Tamiami Trail could have similar effects on the adjacent areas and Everglades National Park. Excavation of mineral deposits would convert a large portion of the Biscayne Aquifer to surface water, and the introduction of surface runoff could result in significant changes in water quality and the associated wildlife habitat in the lakebelt area. Water quality in borrow pits associated with plan implementation could also decline. Archaeological resources could be affected by plan activities, but a survey of such resources has yet to be completed. Suspended particulate matter generated by mining activities, emissions from mining machinery, and emissions from diesel driven project pumps would degrade air quality in the area. Large tracts of melaleuca forest, which constitute the main visual component of the lakebelt plan, would be displaced. Mining proximate to the Northwest Wellfield could compromise the existing wellfield protection program. Actions under the alternatives considered for the Lake Belt area would disturb 2,866 to 14,917 acres of land and water, resulting in the loss of 2,422 to 13,320 acres of natural cover and 2,431 to 13,563 acres of wetlands. From 1,337 to 7,787 habitat units would be lost per acre mined. Habitat of the federally protected wood stork could be damaged. From three to 18 historically significant cultural resource sites could be impacted. The removal of 2.2 billion cubic yards of rock would negatively alter groundwater flow and reduce the filtration capacity of the Biscayne Aquifer LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

AN - 36394694; 8048 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to the Guadalupe River Project, located in the downtown area of San Jose in western California, is proposed. The project currently is under phased construction. When all phases are completed, the project would provide a 100-year level of flood protection to downtown San Jose and surrounding areas while avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating adverse project effects on fish and wildlife habitat for threatened and endangered species. The proposed modifications would include flood protection, recreation, and related mitigation measures along 2.6 miles of the Guadalupe River and two related offsite mitigation areas. These measures would respond to concerns regarding the adequacy of the mitigation measures established under the original design of the project with respect to central California coast steelhead trout and fall-run Chinook, both of which are federally protected species. The major concerns involved the impact of concrete-lined channels and the lack of adequate riparian mitigation as well as the quality and quantity of shaded riverine cover affected by the project. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of 1985. The proposed action (the Bypass System Alternative) would include the modification and implementation of the remaining components of the Guadalupe River Project, known as the Segment 3A and 3B reaches, Segment 3C Phase 3 subreach, and the offsite Reach A and Guadalupe Creek mitigation sites. Modifications would involve the construction and operation of an underground bypass to convey floodwaters around important riparian habitat, the expansion of onsite and offsite mitigation to address natural and cultural resources affected by the project, and the modification of riverfront features to accomplish habitat and recreational goals. The environmentally preferred alternative would include all flood protection improvements to be implemented as part of the proposed action with the exception of 200 feet of armoring along the east bank of the river in the vicinity of the New Julian Street Bridge. The recommended plan, which is a modified version of the proposed action, would include a bypass system to route flood flows from the natural river channel into underground conduits for discharge downstream where adequate channel capacity would be available, 5,492 linear feet of bank armoring and 2,635 feet of invert armoring, a 2,635-foot low-flow channel, nine to 15 invert stabilization structures, and a system of flood training walls and berm. Mitigation measures would include water quality protection measures, cultural resources management, and vegetation protection measures. A riverwalk trail system and parking facilities would be provided for recreational purposes. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $114.4 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.38. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The modified project would provide protection against the 100-year flood event to the downtown San Jose area, protect species recently listed or proposed for listing and threatened or endangered under federal law, meet federal water quality standards, refine recreational opportunities along the corridor, and implement mitigation commitments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in erosion and sedimentation of the river, degrading water quality temporarily. The bypass system would require the relocation of gas, power, communication, and sewer lines.

AN - 36415813; 8034 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water storage and habitat enhancement project on four islands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, located in west-central California, is proposed. The project would be located on Bacon Island and Bouldin Island in San Joaquin County and the Holland and Webb Tract in Contra Costa County. The delta is an important source of water for much of southern California; it is considered one of the state's most valuable suppliers. Major issues addressed include those related to water quality, including project impacts on dissolved organic carbon, trihalmethanes, and salinity; levee design and stability; seepage and proposed seepage control measures; and the Pacific Gas and Electric's gas line on Bacon Island. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this revision of the 1995 draft EIS. Generally, the project would involve diverting and storing water on Bacon Island and Webb Tract (reservoir islands) for later discharge for export or to meet outflow or environmental requirements; diverting water seasonally to create and enhance wetlands and to manage wildlife habitat on Bouldin Island and most of Holland Tract (habitat islands); and building recreational facilities for boating and hunting along the perimeter levees on all four islands. Winter flows of water would be stored and 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 project, the applicant, Delta Wetlands, would divert unregulated delta outflow under appropriative water rights during the period extending from January through April, when water was 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. 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, the management of habitat associated with water storage areas, recreational facilities, and the management 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. 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. Riparian woodland and 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.

Preparation date: June 9, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION OF THE SAND CREEK WATERSHED, SAUNDERS COUNTY, NEBRASKA. AN - 16352949; 8026 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of environmental restoration measures within the Sand Creek watershed, located in eastern Nebraska, is proposed. Sand Creek is a tributary of Wahoo Creek, a component of the Lower Platte River Basin. The 92-square-mile watershed lies within the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District. The watershed has been determined to have problems with water quality, sedimentation, erosion, and a lack of natural upland, wetland, and aquatic habitats. The characteristics of highly erodible soils, moderate to steep slopes, and agricultural land use, in conjunction with stream channelization and loss of wetlands, have resulted in silt damage to farmland and aquatic habitats, degradation of stream channels, and high sediment and nutrient loads in surface waters. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The tentatively selected alternative (the Lake Wanahoo plus Seven NRCS Ponds plus Bottomland Wetland Restoration Alternative) would include the construction of a lake/wetland complex in the downstream portion of the watershed (Lake Wanahoo), the construction of seven ponds in the upper reaches of the watershed, and the restoration of 104 acres of bottomland wetland restoration areas at suitable sites throughout the watershed. Lake Wanahoo would consist of a 639-acre reservoir, containing 6,700 acre-feet of water, located just north of the city of Wahoo, downstream of the confluence of Sand and Duck creeks. The lake would drain a 87-square-mile watershed. Sediment basins upstream of the lake would help reduce sediment and nutrient loads. Breakwaters, jetties, and armoring of the shoreline would be incorporated into the design of the lake to improve aquatic habitats and to minimize shoreline erosion. Wetlands at the margin and upper end of the lake would provide additional habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species and enhance the restoration of downstream habitats by minimizing erosion and reducing the velocity of flood flows. The area surrounding the lake would be designed to provide a variety of restored and created wetland and upland habitats, including bottomland wetland and Todd Valley wetlands, native grassland, and central deciduous forest which are scarce in the watershed. Approximately 900 acres surrounding the lake would be developed to meet recreational needs and to service as wildlife management area. The seven small ponds in the upper reaches of the watershed would range in size from 12 to 44.5 acres; all would be located in the headwaters and upper reaches of Sand and Duck creeks. The project would be done in concert with ongoing programs to encourage land treatment. The estimated cost of the project is $29.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to reducing flooding downstream from Lake Wahoo, the project would improve water quality and related habitat throughout the watershed, particularly due to reduction of sediment and nutrient loading. Flood reduction benefits would be worth $133,570 annually. The restoration and creation of scarce habitat would provide conditions for the revitalization of wildlife populations in the watershed. The project would provide an increase of 641.3 acres of palustrine wetland, including scarce and significant Todd Valley wetlands and bottomlands, 476.3 acres of lacustrine deep water habitat, 424 acres of grassland, and 6,681 terrestrial habitat units. The provision of outdoor recreational opportunities associated with the lake would benefit residents and visitors to the area and generate $712,716 in benefits annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of 1,776 acres of taxable land as well as one residence and two businesses, resulting in an estimated annual loss to the tax base of $31,844. Approximately 1,256 acres of prime farmland and 162.8 acres of mature riparian woodland would be lost. Approximately 5.5 miles of stream channel, 11.3 acres of riverine wetland, and 162.8 acres of mature riparian woodland would be inundated.

This field screening technique is based on the colorimetric analysis of petroleum products in soil and water matrices, following a solvent extraction and a Friedel-Crafts reaction. The methods include visually comparing the sample to reference photographs, and two spectrophotometric (H.E.L.P. Mate 2010 and 2000) systems designed to establish discrete values. To test these field screening techniques, 90 field and quality assurance (QA) samples were obtained. Both of the spectrophotometric methods experienced instrumental problems, so that fewer than 60% of the samples distributed could be analyzed on-site. Ultimately, the H.E.L.P. Mate 2010 was dropped from the evaluation altogether. Furthermore, because of these complications, no TPH values were reported during the field exercise. The results yielded by the visual and H.E.L.P. Mate 2000 methods were compared for the QA samples; the visual technique was more reliable for showing the presence and estimating the quantity of TPH contamination.

Precanal Kissimmee drainage-basin hydrology was largely controlled by landforms derived from relict, coastal ridge, lagoon, and shallow-shelf features; widespread carbonate solution depressions; and a poorly developed fluvial drainage network. Prior to channelization for flood control, the Kissimmee River was a very low gradient, moderately meandering river that flowed from Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee through the lower drainage basin. We infer that during normal wet seasons, river discharge rapidly exceeded Lake Okeechobee outflow capacity, and excess surface water backed up into the low-gradient Kissimmee River. This backwater effect induced bankfull and peak discharge early in the flood cycle and transformed the flood plain into a shallow aquatic system with both lacustrine and riverine characteristics. The large volumes of surface water retained in the lakes and wetlands of the upper basin maintained overbank flow conditions for several months after peak discharge. Analysis indicates that most of the geomorphic work on the channel and flood plain occurred during the frequently recurring extended periods of overbank discharge and that discharge volume may have been significant in determining channel dimensions. Comparison of hydrogeomorphic relationships with other river systems identified links between geomorphology and hydrology of the precanal Kissimmee River. However, drainage-basin and hydraulic geometry models derived solely from general populations of river systems may produce spurious reference conditions for restoration design criteria.

Given the rainfall and abundant water resources, there is adequate water to meet the water demands, but proper management to develop and maintain the water supply requirements is lacking. Water resources are stressed by an increasing demand, which has developed into a critical situation. The stress is partly due to the uneven distribution of the population; which is most densely populated in regions where water availability is low due to altitude or rainfall deficit. Guatemala City is a typical example. The opposite occurs in places where water resources are abundant. Presently a comprehensive water law does not exist to control the use and abuse of the national waterways, and as a result, the rivers are used for sewage disposal. No authority controls the water resources, but a national commission for potable water and sanitation is being proposed this year. Commissions for other sectors, such as agriculture, electricity, environment, and health exist, but not for water supply. A national commission for potable water and a comprehensive, practical, and implementable national water law should be created to govern and protect the water resources of the nation. The percentage of the population having access to potable water and sanitation services is extremely low. In 1994 it was estimated that 54 percent of the population had access to potable water services and 49 percent to sanitation services. Most rural areas have only latrines and no conventional sewerage systems. Diseases caused by water contamination are widespread. Guatemala has the highest child mortality rate of the Central American countries, owing in large part to water contamination. Pollution of the water resources is a significant problem. Contamination of the surface water and shallow ground water are prevalent throughout the country. Domestic wastewater and agricultural runoff cause biological contamination of water near and downstream of populated places. Wastewater treatment is minimal nationwide. Numerous wastewater treatment plants exist, but few, if any, are functioning. As a result, surface water is laden with sewage, particularly in the heavily populated areas, and much of it is not usable for water supply. Many rivers are considered to be severely contaminated including the Rio Motagua, the Rio Villalbobos, the Rio Michatoya, the Rio Las Vacas, and the Rio Samala. Lago de Amatitlan, south of Guatemala City, receives about 50 percent of the sewage of Guatemala City via Rio Villalobos and consequently is severely contaminated. Lago de Amatitlan is considered to be a "dead" lake, but the first national watershed management agency, Autoridad para el Manejo Sustenable de la Cuenca y del Lago de Amatitlan, is working toward saving it. Deforestation has altered the dynamics of the hydrologic cycle. It is a serious problem in Guatemala with devastating environmental consequences. Existing deforestation laws are difficult to enforce. The sedimentation caused by the deforestation carried in the national waterways reduces the amount of surface water available. Over the past 40 years, surface water availability has decreased 60 to 70 percent, primarily due to deforestation and increased population. Many rivers, including major ones, are dry in March and April. As a result of surface water supply shortages and contamination, ground water is being relied upon to provide more water in the future. Many shallow aquifers are, however, becoming contaminated from surface pollution, causing dependency on deeper springs and wells to provide potable water. Hydrologic data is lacking throughout the country, particularly since the mid-1980s when data collection decreased dramatically. Data is needed to solve water resources problems and to address critical need issues. Instituto Nacional de Sismologia, Vulcanologia, Meteorologia e Hidrologia is making progress toward repairing the gaging network. If the recommendations for watershed management are adopted, if progress is made toward reducing the untreated waste entering the waterways, and if a national water supply and sanitation commission is established, positive, immediate, and long-term benefits could be realized.

However, soil moisture data are generally unavailable for most catchments. Given an erroneous initial soil moisture field, single-event calibrations are easily achieved using different combinations of model parameters, including physically unrealistic values. Verification of single-event calibrations is very difficult for models of this type because of parameter estimation errors that arise from initial soil moisture field uncertainty. The purpose of this study is to determine if the likelihood of obtaining a verifiable calibration increases when a continuous flow record, consisting of multiple runoff producing events is used for model calibration. The physically based, two-dimensional, distributed, Hortonian hydrologic model CASC2D [Julien et al., 1995] is converted to a continuous formulation that simulates the temporal evolution of soil moisture between rainfall events. Calibration is performed using 6 weeks of record from the 21.3 km (super 2) Goodwin Creek Experimental Watershed, located in northern Mississippi. Model parameters are assigned based on soil textures, land use/land cover maps, and a combination of both. The sensitivity of the new model formulation to parameter variation is evaluated. Calibration is performed using the shuffled complex evolution method [Duan et al., 1991]. Three different tests are conducted to evaluate model performance based on continuous calibration. Results show that calibration on a continuous basis significantly improves model performance for periods, or subcatchments, not used in calibration and the likelihood of obtaining realistic simulations of spatially varied catchment dynamics. The automated calibration reveals that the parameter assignment methodology used in this study results in overparameterization. Additional research is needed in spatially distributed hydrologic model parameter assignment methodologies for hydrologic forecasting. Copyright 2000 by the American Geophysical Union.

This model was developed to be a basis for evaluating alternative water use scenarios. The model reflected the existing two lakes (Gatun Lake and Madden Lake), navigation lockage water demands, municipal water supply, hydropower, and flood spillway flows. This paper describes some of the history related to the construction of the Panama Canal, the lock and lake design that was implemented, and some of the water sues in the basin.

Projects include multi-use storage reservoirs, navigation dams and locks, and levee systems with closure structures. Corps Emergency Operations often include re-enforcing or raising levees, sandbagging efforts, and evacuation during flooding. The Corps Water Management System (CWMS) I sued to acquire real-time data on watershed conditions, develop forecasts of project inflows and uncontrolled flows below projects, determine project releases, and evaluate impacts. These tools provide critical information to Corps water managers to make informed engineering decisions under a variety of routine and emergency conditions. An overall description of the modernization project is given, including a discussion of improved spatially disturbed rainfall runoff modeling, reservoir operation modeling, steady and unsteady flow hydraulic routing, inundated area determination, and flow/stage impact analysis.

The dynamic approach permits zoning, levee construction, and other decisions to be made sequentially, rather than only at the present. The dynamic model is formulated as a Markov decision process. A single-floodplain, single-objective, stationary model is extended to include multiple floodplains, nonstationarity, and multiple objectives. Linear programming is used for solution, though the problem may be large. The model is applied to a problem at Chester Creek, Pa. The optimal policy for levee building or replacement is found to depend on if a flood has just occurred and on the costs of buying out property owners and rebuilding homes and levees. Two cases of nonstationarity are examined, future bridge construction and future hydrologic changes. With nonstationarity, buyout of property owners following levee overtopping is an optimal policy since increased future flooding reduces the expected benefits of structural flood measures. When economic development is included with management costs and flood damages in a multiobjective formulation, the optimal policies include building larger levees and increasing floodplain development.

AN - 36416080; 8015 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Albany Shaker Road (Albany County Route 151) and Watervliet Shaker Road in the town of Colonie, located in eastern New York, is proposed. The Albany Shaker Road segment of the project would run 2.4 miles from the road's intersection with Dalessandro Boulevard in the southern portion of the project area to New York State Route 7, while the Watervliet Shaker Road segment would run 1.3 miles from the eastern intersection with Vly Road to Albany Shaker Road. The project would address growth trends in the area surrounding the Albany International Airport. Two alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would involve the construction of a four-lane road east of Airport Park. It would include the construction of 6,330 feet of a four-lane arterial west of existing Albany Shaker Road, the reconstruction of 2,760 feet of existing Albany Shaker Road to four lanes, the construction of 3,810 feet of a four-lane bypass arterial west of the existing Albany Shaker Road/Watervliet Shaker Road intersection to connect existing Watervliet Shaker Road to the newly relocated Albany Shaker Road, and the reconstruction of 4,550 feet of existing Watervliet Shaker Road to four lanes. It would also include the construction of 1,260 feet of a two-lane connector roadway between the newly relocated Albany Shaker Road and the existing Albany Shaker Road, as well as the construction of 915 feet of a two-lane roadway to the relocated western end of Siker Road. Alternative 2 would include the construction of a four-lane roadway through Airport Park. It would include the construction of 8,730 feet of a four-lane arterial west of Albany Shaker Road, the construction of 3,810 feet of a four-lane bypass arterial west of the Albany Shaker Road/Watervliet Shaker Road intersection to connect existing Watervliet Shaker Road to the newly relocated Albany Shaker Road, and the reconstruction of 4,550 feet of the existing Watervliet Shaker Road to a four-lane cross-section. It would also include the construction of 1,640 feet of a two-lane connector roadway between the newly relocated Albany Shaker Road and existing Albany Shaker Road. Both alternatives would involve the closure of Albany Shaker Road at airport Runway 10 and provisions for pedestrian and bicycle traffic via an independent multi-use path and sidewalks. Connections would be provided to the Watervliet Shaker Historic District, Ann Lee Pond Nature and Historic Preserve, Albany International Airport, and existing facilities along State Route 7 and Watervliet Shaker Road. The estimated costs of Alternative 2 and Alternative 4 are $19.4 million and $19.63 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would improve traffic conditions and level of service (LOS) on some roads to provide for future traffic demand, improve the structural and geometric deficiencies of Albany Shaker Road and Watervliet Shaker Road and reduce their susceptibility to flooding from Shaker Creek, enhance the use of historically significant portions of the Watervliet Shaker Historic District, and maintain the compatibility of the regional transportation plan and arterial management strategies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative considered, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the relocation of two to three residences and one to two businesses, as well as the loss of 2.3 acres of agricultural land used for farming. Noise levels would exceed federal standards for receptors at 21 to 29 properties. Traffic volumes would increase by 50 percent on Sand Creek Road south of Watervliet Shaker Road decreasing the LOS on Sand Creek Road from E to F. Traffic volumes on Watervliet Shaker Road west of New Karner Road would increase by 10 percent; the level of service (currently F) would remain the same. The total annual transportation energy consumption would increase.

AN - 36408662; 8011 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment and construction of a large-scale casino designation resort at the existing Broadwater Resort and President Casino adjacent to US Highway 90 (US 90), located in the city of Biloxi in southeastern Mississippi, is proposed. The project would be a consolidated development of individually owned and operated gaming, retail, entertainment, and hospitality facilities. The project is seeking permit approval to discharge dredge and fill material into waters. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the applicant's proposal (Alternative 2, the Destination Broadwater Alternative), the project would encompass 325 acres of existing or newly created lands, which could be divided into two distinct geographic areas lying north and south of US 90. South of US 90, President Casinos, Inc., the applicant, would develop six dockside casinos, eight hotels, a transportation center, an entertainment complex, retail facilities, a 400-slip marina, and related parking facilities. North of US 90, the applicant would develop four hotels and a retail complex, a water and amusement park, and related parking facilities. The Sun Golf Course, which lies on the northern tract, would be redeveloped. Alternative 3 would provide for six dockside casino-hotel complexes at dispersed sites along the coast to achieve an effect similar to Alternative 2, resulting in the creation of land and wharf areas totaling 23 acres. Alternative 4 would expand the Broadwater peninsula south of US 90 to create land and wharf areas totaling 48 acres. South of US 90, the facilities would resemble those to be provided under Alternative 2, though development would have a higher density. Six hotels, a retail complex, a water and amusement park, and related parking facilities would be constructed north of US 90. Alternative 5 would expand the Broadwater peninsula south of US 90 to create land and wharf areas totaling 28 acres, provide six casino facilities on and within the existing Broadwater marina, and create a 400-slip marina to the south. All related facilities would be concentrated north of US 90, including eight hotels, retail space, a theater, a water and amusement park, and related parking facilities. The Sun Golf Course would be redeveloped. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing gaming and other recreational opportunity to coastal visitors and residents, the project would significantly boost the local and regional economies and increase tax revenues by $186 million to $205 million. From 5,863 to 9,643 jobs would be created. Navigational access around Broadwater would improve due to channel dredging. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction activities and project facilities would affect local hydrology and hydraulics along the coast of the Mississippi Sound and degrade water quality in the sound and in local surface and groundwater flows. The project would result in the loss of 1.79 to 3.16 acres of wetlands, the displacement of 11 to 47 acres of aquatic area, and the permanent shading of 12 to 23 acres of shallow water. Habitat, including essential habitat, associated within these wetland and aquatic areas would be lost. State-listed threatened and endangered species could be adversely affected. Emissions of volatized organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides would increase. Traffic generated by the resort would also result in congestion within certain transportation corridors and generated in noise levels potentially exceeding federal standards. Historic resources and one cemetery could be adversely affected, and other land use conflicts could occur. Resort activities would consume substantial amounts of potable water and generate significant amounts of wastewater, both requiring infrastructure improvements. Housing demand and cost would increase somewhat. Local residential displacements would disproportionately affect minorities and low-income persons.

AN - 36408176; 8008 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Shawnee Highway, located in southern West Virginia, is proposed. The study corridor extends from Flat Top to Three Corners Junction, the latter being the intersection of McDowell, Mercer, and Wyoming counties. The corridor is characterized by numerous deficiencies along the existing roadway network, including substandard roadway geometry along all routes that comprise the study route. As a result, travel within the study corridor is inefficient and substandard, with roadways characterized by narrow roadway and shoulder widths, a high proportion of no passing zones, sharp horizontal curves, steep vertical grades, and a mixture of pavement types. With the exception of transport by rail, the only means of moving people and goods into or out of the study area is by way of vehicles using the existing roadway system. Residents of the area lack adequate access to both the regional roadway network (Interstate Highway 77 (I-77) and I-64) and the local roadway network (US Highway 19 (US 19), West Virginia State Highway 10, and US 52). Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Transportation Systems Management Alternative would include operational and traffic management improvements which would de-emphasize large capital-intensive projects in order to maximize the efficiency of the present roadway system. The Improved Roadway Alternative would include upgrading and improving the study route to current design standards. The Mass Transit Alternative would include options such as providing bus and rail service. The two build alternatives would involve the construction of a two-lane highway extending from the Ghent Interchange on I-77 near Flat Top on the north to McDowell County Route 14 in the vicinity of Ashland on the south. Alternative A would have one 12-foot lane in each direction, feature six-foot shoulders, have a design speed of 55 miles per hour (mph), and extend 22 miles. Alternative B would have one 11-foot lane in each direction, feature six-foot shoulders, have a design speed of 35 mph, and extend 23 miles. The estimated construction costs of Alternative A and Alternative B are $264 million and $276 million, respectively. The respective estimated rights-of-way costs are $11 million and $11.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase area travel efficiency, reduce emergency response times, and provide safer and more efficient access to the regional transportation network. The traffic flow efficiency improvement would reduce corridor air pollutant emissions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under Alternative A and Alternative B, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 54 and 44 residences, two and three commercial and industrial properties businesses, and three and two institutional (public and church) facilities, respectively. The respective losses of wetlands would be 1.55 and 0.89 acres. The respective lengths of stream crossings would be 85 and 45 feet of stream. Under both build alternatives, five acres of floodplain would be adversely affected. Under Alternative A and Alternative B, the highway would cross 56 and 34 acres of abandoned mine lands, respectively. The respective areas having a high probability of containing archaeological resources traversed would be 52 and 42 acres, and the respective areas having a medium probability of containing such resources would be 145 and 176 acres. Three historic sites of state importance and two uninventoried districts that could have historic significance would be adversely affected.

AN - 36398210; 9101 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Shawnee Highway in McDowell, Wyoming, Mercer, and Raleigh counties of southern West Virginia is proposed. The study corridor extends from Flat Top to Three Corners Junction, the latter being the intersection of McDowell, Mercer, and Wyoming counties. The corridor is characterized by numerous deficiencies along the existing roadway network, including substandard roadway geometry along all routes that comprise the study route. As a result, travel within the study corridor is inefficient and substandard, with roadways characterized by narrow roadway and shoulder widths, a high proportion of no passing zones, sharp horizontal curves, steep vertical grades, and a mixture of pavement types. With the exception of transport by rail, the only means of moving people and goods into or out of the study area is by way of vehicles using the existing roadway system. Residents of the area lack adequate access to both the regional roadway network (Interstate 77 (I-77) and I-64) and the local roadway network (US 19, West Virginia 10, and US 52) In addition to the No Action Alternative, this final EIS considers transportation systems management actions, improvement of existing roadways, a mass transit alternative, and three alternatives involving construction of a new highway. The proposed highway would extend from the Ghent Interchange on I-77 near Flat Top on the north to McDowell County Route 14 in the vicinity of Ashland on the south. Each build alternative would provide a two-lane rural principal arterial facility. The preferred alternative, which would extend 21.7 miles, would begin at the County Route (CR) 17 southwest of Ashland, proceed in a northerly direction paralleling CR 14 west of Crumpler, cross Indian Ridge and CR 14/1 into Wyoming County, intersect with the proposed King Coal Highway north of the McDowell /Wyoming county line, continue parallel to CR 16/2, cross Pinnacle Creek, traverse the ridge south of Clark Gap, cross CR 16/7, proceed north across the railroad tunnel at Lamar, ascend the eastern side of Flat Top Mountain to intersect with CR 1 west of the Pilot Knob lookout tower, and follow CR 1 across West Virginia 10 and along Flat Top Mountain to Peak Ridge, cross Barkers Ridge, proceed northeast along the west side of Bluff Mountain, intersect with CR 1 south of Egeria, shift to the north across Flat Top Mountain into Raleigh County in the vicinity of Bald Knob, proceed northwest crossing back into Mercer County, diverge northward away from CR 1 west of the Flat Top interchange on I-77, cross back into Raleigh County proceeding in a northerly direction to intersect with CR 48 in Ghent, turn westerly and follow CR 48 to its terminus at the I-77 Ghent interchange. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $175 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a transportation system with minimal geometric constraints, increase travel efficiency within the study area, reduce emergency response times, and provide safer and more efficient access to the regional transportation network for residents of the communities in the area. Improvement in traffic flow efficiency would reduce the emissions of air pollutants within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in displacement of 50 residences, two businesses, three institutional facilities, 5.3 acres of prime farmland and 288 acres of farmland of statewide importance. The project would displace 1.06 acres of wetlands and affect 1.7 miles of stream. Five acres of floodplain would be affected. The highway would traverse 56 acres of abandoned mine lands and two gas wells. Thirteen cemeteries would be affected. The facility would traverse 57 acres having a high probability of containing archaeological resources and 188 acres having a medium probability of containing such resources. Noise levels would exceed state standards at 10 sensitive receptor sites.

Preparation date: May 25, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36415937; 8007 AB - PURPOSE: The continued exploration for and development of natural gas resources on a leased 197,345-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA), located in western Wyoming, is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschluts Exploration Corporation, B-P Amoco Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by US Highway 191 and Wyoming State Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, livestock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 900 wells to achieve 700 producing locations over the next 10 to 15 years. The drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the tight-gas formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. Three exploration and development scenarios which define over what portion of the PAPA (none, all, or just a portion) development could occur, two levels of development which define the number of well pads (500 or 700) which could be developed in the next 10 to 15 years, and two mitigation alternatives which define options for reducing impacts to the environment from future development activities (the Standard Stipulation Alternative and the Resource Protection Alternative) were considered in the draft EIS. The Project Wide Exploration/Development Scenario assumes economically recoverable reserves will be discovered throughout the area. The Anticline Crest Exploration/Development Scenario assumes economically recoverable reserves will be generally limited to a relatively narrow, two-mile-wide area centered on the crest of the anticline in a few relatively small and isolated areas of economic hydrocarbon accumulations (hot spots). The No Action Exploration /Development Scenario assumes no economically recoverable reserves will be discovered. Exploratory well results suggested that development in the future would be primarily confined to the crest of the anticline and a few hot spots rather than spread across the entire area. The plan and drilling schedule would be contingent on an adequate price for the gas at the wellhead and anticipated increases in gas consumption nationally, a demand that is expected to increase by 40 percent by 2015. This abbreviated final EIS contains only minor changes and additions to the draft EIS. The need for an amendment of the Pinedale Resource Management Plan Mount Airy and Desert General off-road vehicle (ORV) area designations of open to ORV area designations of limited to existing roads and trails. The Resource Protection Alternative on All Lands and Minerals has been identified as the environmentally preferred alternative. Three sales gas pipeline alternatives are under consideration POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from only 50 wells in the PAPA would generate approximately $1.0 million for Sublette County and over $2.0 million for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant adverse impacts, including exposure to benzene. The developments could also adversely affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be adversely affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly and adversely affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Project developments would displace winter range for big game and sage grouse nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be adversely affected by water depletions.

Preparation date: May 23, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRAND PARKWAY (TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY 99) SEGMENT C FROM US ROUTE 59 TO TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY 288, BRAZORIA AND FORT BEND COUNTIES, TEXAS. AN - 36409622; 7997 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Segment C of the Grand Parkway, located southwest of Houston in southeastern Texas, is proposed. The 26-mile segment of Texas State Highway 99 (TX 99) would run from US Route 59 (US 59) near the intersection of existing Segment D to TX 288. The Grand Parkway, a planned scenic highway, would form a 170-mile circumferential freeway around the greater metropolitan area of Harris County. It would be a four-mainlane, controlled-access freeway in a 300-foot right-of-way width expanding to 400 feet at the ramps and isolated frontage road locations. It would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around Houston. The parkway would traverse Harris, Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, and Fort Bend counties. Severe traffic congestion has resulted from high population growth and the resulting increases in residential and commercial development. Moreover, the area is in need of an emergency evacuation route in the event of a hurricane. Issues of concern include forested wetlands and Columbia bottomland forest in the Rabbs Bayou-Big Creek corridor, and encroachment on the secondary management zone of the bald eagle nest located north of the Brazos Bend State Park. Various alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Transportation management alternatives would improve existing facilities using low-cost transportation improvements in place of, or in addition to, large-scale changes. These could include park-and-ride lots, ridesharing, high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) facilities, traffic signal coordination, and intersection improvements. Travel demand management alternatives would involve actions or programs which encourage people to travel at alternative times or using fewer vehicles in order to reduce congestion. These could include carpooling and vanpooling, employee trip reduction programs, compressed work weeks, telecommuting, flex-time, and employer incentives. Modal alternatives could include improved bus transit service, HOV lanes, commuter rail, and bicycle and pedestrian alternatives. Added single-occupancy-vehicle capacity alternatives could include the widening of existing arterials, the construction of arterials, and the construction of a controlled-access highway. The preferred design concept for a transportation facility is a new location four-lane, controlled-access highway. Eight representative alternatives are under consideration for the four-lane, controlled-access highway. A preferred alternative has not been selected at this time. The right of way required for the eight representative alternatives is 981 acres to 1,152 acres, depending on the alternative considered. The total construction costs of the eight representative alternatives are $139 million to $167 million, depending on the alternative considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around the city of Houston at a radial distance of approximately 20 to 30 miles outside the downtown area. Congestion along parallel and alternate routes as well as other routes in the region would be relieved, and the need for a hurricane evacuation corridor would be met. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up to three businesses and possibly one single-family residence and one church, as well as the loss of 573 to 990 acres of farmland. From 25.3 to 67.2 acres of wetland would be adversely affected, and the facility would cross the floodplains of the Brazos Rivers and certain tributaries. The project would be located in a nonattainment zone for ozone, but no substantial impacts to air quality would be expected to result from the project. From 23 to 71 sensitive receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards. Four of the alternatives would encroach on an existing bald eagle nesting area. Five documented archaeological sites would lie within the project corridor, though three of these have already been destroyed. Four hazardous materials sites would lie within the rights-of-way. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: May 18, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 65 AND US ROUTE 36, LIVINGSTONE COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 16355830; 7996 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement to expressway and freeway standards of 10 miles of US Route 65 (US 65) and four miles of US 36, located in northern Missouri, is proposed. US 65 is a critical element in the development of a primary north-south corridor for north-central Missouri. The project would provide for a four-lane facility with a design speed of 70 miles per hour on freeway right-of-way around Chillicothe and on expressway right-of-way outside the Chillicothe city limits. The US 65 segment of the project would extend from a point 1.3 miles north of Missouri State Route 190 to Route H. The US 36 segment of the project would extend from a point four miles east of US 65 to two miles west of US 65. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and a transportation system management alternative, this draft EIS considers 10 build alignment alternatives across four corridor sections. Six combination alternatives are under consideration. Interchanges would be provided at the east and west junctions of US 65 and US 36 and at the US 65/Business Route 65 junction on the north edge of Chillicothe, and provisions would be made for future construction of an interchange at Route V. The US 65/US 36 interchange would be designed as a freeway-to-freeway facility. Much of the facility would be constructed as an expressway, providing at-grade intersections at many of the existing crossroads. The preferred alternative is the alternative combination A-1, B-2, C-1, D2. The estimated construction costs are $65.2 million to $74.1 million, and rights-of-way acquisition costs are $1.6 million to $2.0 million, depending on the combination alternative considered. The estimated costs of the preferred alternative are approximately $66.0 million and approximately $1.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a bypass of Chillicothe, separate through traffic from local traffic, remove truck traffic from the city, maintain a linkage with the statewide highway system, and improve safety within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of six residences and four commercial establishments and the acquisition of 394.9 acres of prime or unique farmland and 217.2 acres of important farmland. Under the preferred alternative, the project would also result in the loss of 17.8 acres of wetlands and 17.42 acres of other waters. It would traverse 3,200 feet of floodplain associated with Blackwell Branch, 18,900 feet of floodplain associated with Grand River, and 1,500 feet of floodplain associated with Mound Creek.

Preparation date: May 18, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SCHOFIELD BARRACKS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL, OAHU ISLAND, HONOLULU COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 16352714; 7994 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of a long-term means to dispose wastewater received by the wastewater treatment plant (WTP) serving the Schofield Barracks, located on Oahu Island in Hawaii, is proposed. The Army currently pays the Dole Food Company (DFC) to receive its secondary treatment (R-2 class) effluent under an agreement scheduled to expire in the year 2001. The Army hopes to negotiate agreements with DFC and other agricultural users beyond that date. However, the Army's current R-2 class effluent has limited potential for irrigation use under the State Department of Health's current guidelines, which imply imminent regulation of reclaimed water quality and reuse practices. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would dispose of R-2 class effluent to the DFC irrigation system, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would produce and convey reclaimed water for Army reuse and disposal to the DFC irrigation system. It involve the upgrade of the existing Schofield Barracks WTP (SBWTP) from a secondary treatment facility to an advanced tertiary treatment facility and the use of R-1 quality reclaimed water from the SBWTP for irrigation on agricultural lands in Central Oahu. Such lands would include those served by the DFC irrigation system as well as those of other agricultural interests with whom the Army could negotiate contacts to receive the reclaimed water. Wet weather discharge and storage, as required by Hawaii State Reuse Guidelines, would be accommodated in existing holding ponds located on DFC lands or, if necessary, in Wahiawa Reservoir by discharge through a new deepwater outfall. Approximately 7,550 acres of land on the north slope of the Schofield Plateau have been identified as the potential reuse area for Alternative 2 effluent. The Army would seek additional agricultural customers for the reclaimed water. Alternative 1A would produce and convey reclaimed water for Army reuse and to City and County of Honolulu (CCH) facilities at Honouliuli. It would upgrade the Schofield Barracks WTP to an advanced tertiary facility which would produce tertiary (R-1) quality reclaimed water, downgrade the Wahiawa WTP to a pre-treatment facility and wastewater pump station (WPS), and construct two pipelines along a 14-mile route to the Honouliuli WTP. It would convey the R-1 effluent for Army reuse and to the CCH's proposed reclaimed water distribution system at Honouliuli to service golf courses and other developments located on the Ewa Plain for ocean disposal, depending on facility availability or demand. Alternative 1B would continue secondary treatment at the WTP and convey the R-2 effluent for Army reuse and to the CCH facilities at Honouliuli for further treatment and reuse or ocean disposal. Alternative 1C would downgrade the WTP to a WPS and convey the effluent to the Honouliuli WTP for further treatment and reuse or ocean disposal. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $50.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to allowing the WTP effluent to meet state reuse standards, use of the R-1 effluent for irrigation purposes would support agricultural land uses on the island. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction at the WTP and the pipeline would result in noise and dust emissions and disrupt traffic flows, and the operation of the plant would generate odors and traffic. The pipeline construction could require the temporary closure of the existing bikeways along portions of Kunia Road and Fort Weaver Road, requiring bicyclists to use alternate routes.

Preparation date: May 15, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HIGH DESERT POWER PROJECT, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16340272; 7992 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 700-megawatt (700-MW), combined-cycle, natural-gas-fueled, electrical generation power plant, located in southeastern California, is proposed. The California Energy Commission, in its 1996 Electricity Report, projected a need for 6,737 MW of additional generating capacity for the state. As one of the first merchant power plants in California, the High Desert Power Project (HDPP) would serve to meet part of this projected need for additional electricity supply. The HDPP would be owned by the High Desert Power Project, Limited Liability Company (HDDP, LLC). The HDDP, LLC has applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for an incidental take permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). Certain features of the HDDP would be located in areas that provide habitat for the federally and state threatened desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) and the state threatened Mohave ground squirrel (Spermophilus mohavensis), should this species be listed in the future under the ESA. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the project would include a 25-acre power plant located in the northeastern corner of the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA), previously named the Southern California International Airport, within the city of Victorville, a 24-acre staging area to be used during the construction, a potable water and sewer connection, a 3.5-mile natural gas pipeline to the south with a tap station at the southern terminus and a 32-mile natural gas pipeline to the north with the tap stations at the northern terminus, a 6.5-mile water pipeline to the south and a 2.5-mile water pipeline to the north with seven water injection/extraction wells, and an approximately 7.0-mile, 230-kilovolt transmission line to the south to provide a connection from the plant site with the Victor Substation. Water requirements would be approximately 4,000 acre-feet per year. Water supply facilities would be constructed, owned, and operated by the HDPP or contracted with the Victor Valley Water District. The HDPP would also enter into a contract with Southern California Edison Company, whereby the latter would construct, own, and operate the necessary transmission interconnection facilities for the project. Southwest Gas Corporation would construct, own, and operate the two natural gas pipelines that would provide fuel to the power plant. The 700-MW Combined Power Plant With Wet/Dry Cooling Alternative would be located on the same site as the proposed action. It would utilize a wet/dry cooling system instead of the wet cooling system. The water supply system would use SWP water and a groundwater banking system similar to the proposed action , but it would utilize five injection/extraction wells and smaller diameter water pipelines. The 700-MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Without The 32-Mile Natural Gas Pipeline Alternative would be located on the same site as the proposed action, but it would not involve the construction of the second 32-mile natural gas pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plant capacity would help meet the energy needs of the entire state and provide employment opportunities locally. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain features of the HDPP would be located in areas that provide habitat for endangered or threatened animal species; hence, the planned construction, operation, and maintenance activities could result in incidental taking of one or more of these species. Species adversely affected could include the threatened desert tortoise and the potentially protected Mohave ground squirrel. The plant would consume approximately 4,000 acre-feet of water per year under the proposed action; 40 percent less water would be consumed if a wet/dry cooling system were chosen. Plant operation would result in emissions of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, sulfate, and toxic air pollutants. Certain emissions could contribute to violation of state or federal ambient air quality standards. The operations would cause increase cancer risks from emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, acrolein, and sulfates. The project facilities and emissions would be visible from sensitive viewpoints. Paleontological and cultural resource sites could be disturbed. The level of service on local roads would decline due to construction-related traffic.

AN - 16357504; 7984 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of Ohio State Route 124 and US Route 33 (US 33), located in southeastern Ohio, is proposed. The two-lane, controlled-access highway would extend 16 miles, replacing the existing, substandard, two-lane state highways that connect the city of Pomeroy and the William S. Ritchie Bridge crossing the Ohio River. The project under consideration and the related project involving the upgrading of US 33 from the south side of the city of Athens to Darwin in Meigs County are part of an effort to upgrade the US 33 transportation link from Columbus, Ohio, to the Ohio River. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS. The major portions of the build alternatives are combinations of crossover configurations along two basic route alternatives. Any build alternative would be constructed as a super 2 highway, which is a two-lane facility within a right-of-way capable of accommodating a four-lane divided highway. The facility would be provide for horizontal and vertical geometry meeting interstate freeway standards, with shoulders, left-turn lanes as necessary, and controlled-access features. This draft EIS considered the impacts of the full-build, four-lane facility. The preferred alignment is Alternative 3, which was chosen due to its low level of impacts to historic, recreational, and ecological resources as compared to the other build alternatives. The estimated cost of the Alternative 3 is $88.2 million. This abbreviated final EIS provides a summary of the alternatives and a series of exhibits related to responses to the proposed project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded, relocated facility would improve movement of people and goods throughout Meigs County and more generally throughout southeast Ohio. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The stream crossings and relocations would adversely affect 32,002 feet of stream. The rights-of-way requirements, which would total 470.4 acres, would result in the displacement of 20 residences and the loss of 161 acres of farmland and two acres of wetlands.

Triclopyr is under review by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a selective aquatic herbicide. The primary purpose of this study was to determine dissipation rates of the parent active ingredient, triclopyr, and its major metabolites, 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCP) and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-methoxypyridine (TMP) in selected matrices including water, sediment, plants, finfish and shellfish. Two 6.5-ha plots dominated by the weedy species Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L) were treated with triclopyr-triethylammonum at a rate of 2.5 mg AE liter super(-1) (2.5 ppm) on 21-23 June 1994. A third 6.5-ha plot was established as an untreated reference. Water and sediment samples were collected from within the plots and at selected locations up to 1600 m outside of the plots through six weeks post-treatment for chemical residue analysis. In addition, residue samples were collected from the target and non-target plants and other non-target matrices, including game and rough fish, clams and crayfish. All test animals were sequestered in cages located in the center of each plot and samples were collected through four weeks post-treatment. Half-lives for dissipation of triclopyr and TCP in water ranged from 3.7 to 4.7 days and from 4.2 to 7.9 days, respectively, with trace amounts of TMP found. Peak triclopyr sediment values ranged from 257 to 335 ng gram super(-1), with a mean half-life of 5.4 days, while peak TCP sediment levels ranged from 27 to 65 ng gram super(-1) (mean half-life = 11.0 days). Trace levels of TMP were detected at one treatment site at one sampling event. Triclopyr and TCP accumulated and cleared from animal tissues proportionately to concentrations in the water (triclopyr dissipation half-lives <11 days, TCP <14 days). TMP levels were two to three times higher than those of the other compounds, particularly in visceral tissue. In all cases, residues of these compounds were higher in the inedible portions of the animals, and were usually higher in bottom-feeding fish species.

RCW response to controlled military training noise events under realistic conditions was tested, using .50 caliber blank fire and artillery simulators. Measured levels of experimental noise did not affect RCW nesting success or productivity, and RCW flush response was demonstrated to increase as stimulus distance declined, regardless of stimulus type. The birds returned to their nests relatively quickly after being flushed.

CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AND CITY OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. AN - 16357439; 7978 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the interstate network connection between the city of St. Louis in eastern Missouri and the city of East St. Louis in western Illinois is proposed. The project would address congestion and accidents on the Poplar Street Bridge across the Mississippi. The only core-area interstate crossing of the Mississippi River, the eight-lane Popular Bridge, is severely overburdened. The capacity of the existing facility is inadequate to meet the needs of through and local motorists, including truckers, traveling on and between Interstate Highway 55 (I-55), I-44, I-64, and I-70. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the action alternative, I-70 would be reconstructed on a new alignment, including a new eight-lane bridge across the Mississippi River on the north side of the downtown area. An I-64 connector would link I-64 in Illinois to the new bridge. The existing I-55/I-70/I-64 interchange in Illinois would be raised above the water table, and the substandard Poplar Street Bridge approach interchange in Missouri would be rebuilt to provide a simplified approach and enhance I-55 access. The existing segment of I-70 between the new I-70 bridge and the Poplar Street Bridge would be resigned as I-44, and I-44 would be signed common with I-55 from the Poplar Street Bridge to the divergence of the two interstates immediately to the south. Both eastbound and westbound I-70 would incorporate access to and from both Tucker and Fourteenth streets, which are major arterials in the least-congested northwest sector of downtown Saint Louis. The project would also include downtown traffic control measures and peak-period transit pricing incentives for commuters traveling between Illinois and the downtown area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facilities would decrease the distances of through trips on I-70 and I-64/I-70 by 2.2 miles and 1.6 miles, respectively. By reducing congestion, the project would enhance air quality in the corridor. The project would generate some 21,000 person-years of direct, indirect, and induced employment, inject $1.2 billion into the local economy, and otherwise stimulate economic development in the core area. The estimated cost of the project is $587.8 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way would require 328 acres and result in the displacement of 13 occupied residences housing low-income, minority persons as well as 50 commercial establishments employing some 400 workers. The rights-of-way requirements would also adversely affect 37 acres of wetlands and result in the loss of habitat for the federally and state protected decurrent false aster plant. Approximately 16.6 acres of fill will be placed within 100-year floodplain land, and an additional 6.7 acres of floodplain would be bridged by a ramp. Four industrial buildings in Missouri considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological resources associated with the prehistoric Cohokia Mound builders and pre-1900 archaeological resources could be encountered during the construction. Less than one acre of parkland within the 90-acre Jefferson National Expansion Memorial would be adversely affected by a construction easement. Noise levels would continue to exceed federal standards for some receptors, though noise walls would be constructed where feasible. The construction activities would encounter 100 hazardous materials sites, including three sites falling under federal jurisdiction.

AN - 36407478; 7972 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an extension of Tennessee State Route 374 (TN 374) in the city of Clarksville, located in north-central Tennessee, is proposed. The project would extend from TN 13 to TN 76, providing the final link in a circumferential loop around Clarksville, which is identified in the 1995 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan for the Clarksville, Tennessee-Kentucky Metropolitan Area. The project would provide an improved and more efficient transportation corridor between the areas to the south of Clarksville and the areas to the west of the city. Currently, this area is undergoing rapid development and is expected to continue in the future. Issues include the effects on land use, farmland, socioeconomics, pedestrians and bicyclists, air quality, noise, floodplains, navigation, water quality, wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, hazardous materials, visual resources, and energy. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the four-lane divided facility with partially-controlled access would involve both construction on a new location and improvements to existing facilities. The two 12-foot traffic lanes in each direction would be separated by either a 48-foot median or a turn lane. Each alignment alternative would cross the Cumberland River at two locations, once at a new location and once via an existing bridge. The crossing would involve the construction of 3,000- to 4,200-foot bridge. The bridge would span the CXS Railroad, the river, and the designated floodway Alternative A would cross the river near river mile (RM) 123. Alternative B would cross the river at RM 121. Alternative C would cross the river near RM 119. Other alternatives under consideration include improvements to existing facilities, transit options, and traffic system management options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By closing the last gap in the circumferential loop, the project would improve local and regional accessibility, improve safety and operating conditions in the corridor, and generally provide enhanced traffic service. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 243.6 to 276.7 acres, including 49 to 113 acres of prime farmland. The project would require the relocation of seven to 18 residences. The facility would traverse the Cumberland River floodplain, resulting in the possible loss of 0.2 acre of wetland. Two alternatives would adversely affect one historic site. One to three archaeological sites lie within or near the alternative corridors.

Preparation date: April 19, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ABERDEEN-HOAQUIAM CORRIDOR PROJECT, GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 16344048; 7970 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a transportation corridor for US Route 12 (US 12), US 101, and Washington State Route 109 (WA 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 WA 109 and WA 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. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative I), are considered in this final EIS. All three 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 would construct new bridges over Hoquiam River and Wishkah River, complete the interchange for the Chehalis River Bridge, and construct a highway alignment using railroad right-of-way and existing streets. The preferred alternative would be a combination of segments from various alternatives. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $156.6 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: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of up eight businesses, 17 single-family units, and six multi-family units, and adversely affect some wetland areas near the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. Unavoidable noise increases would impact some residences under the preferred alternative. Two properties within the corridor are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and fourteen others are eligible for listing.

AN - 16339439; 7971 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 37-mile section of US Route 35 (US 35) from Interstate Highway 64 (I-64) to the city of Henderson, located in western West Virginia, is proposed. Within the study area, US 35 is a two-lane highway generally following the Kanawha River. The project would widen the highway to a four-lane facility with partial control of access and a 46-foot median within a 151-foot right-of-way. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The Central Alternative has three interchange options and the West Alternative has six interchange options. The preferred alternative (the Central Alternative) would cross I-64 with a new interchange near Crooked Creek, approximately 1.7 miles east of the West Virginia 34 (WV 34) interchange. The I-64 interchange would provide access to Putnam County Route 33 (CR 33), also known as Teays Valley Road. The alignment would continue to the northwest and cross WV 34 near CR 34/2. After crossing WV 34, the alignment would turn north near Tucker Branch and then northwest to generally parallel US 35. From just north of CR 15, the alignment would run parallel to and west of US 35 in Henderson. Between CR 15 and the Putnam County/Mason County border, the alignment would run 0.5 mile west of existing US 35. In Mason County, the alignment would run 0.7 to 0.9 mile west of existing US 35. The estimated costs of the preferred alternative are $14.0 million to $18.0 million, depending on the interchange option. Also under consideration are a transportation system management alternative and a multi-modal system alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would facilitate safe and efficient movement of people and goods within western West Virginia and encourage economic development along the corridor. Through and local traffic would be separated by the bypass. Accidents along US 35 would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the project would result in the displacement of 103 to 151 residences and two to 12 businesses. The West Alternative would take one church and one cemetery. The rights-of-way development would adversely affect 227 to 249 acres of farmland, 20.9 to 23.0 acres of wetlands, 1.3 to 4.8 acres of floodplain, 0.5 acres of open water, and 59.6 to 68.7 acres of forested land. From 29,302 to 29.310 feet of stream would be adversely affected. Noise levels in excess of federal standards would adversely affect 26 to 27 homes under the Central Alternative and 36 homes under the West Alternative. Two recreational areas could be adversely affected under the West Alternative, namely, the privately-owned FMC Sportsman's Club under the Central Alternative and the putting green and driving range at Sleepy Hollow Golf Club by two options associated with the West Alternative.

AN - 36397100; 8448 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the interstate network between the cities of Saint Louis and East Saint Louis in order to relieve congestion and reduce accidents on the Poplar Street Bridge across the Mississippi River, located in eastern Missouri and western Illinois, is proposed. The eight-lane Popular Bridge, which is the only core-area interstate crossing of the Mississippi River between Saint Louis in Missouri and East Saint Louis in Illinois, is severely overburdened. The capacity of the existing facility is inadequate to meet the needs of through and local motorists, including truckers, traveling on and between Interstate Highway 55 (I-55), I-44, I-64, and I-70. Issues include socioeconomics, residential and business displacements, environmental justice, tax revenues, historic and archaeological resources, air quality, noise, natural resources, water resources, floodplain, wetlands, wastes, parkland, and aesthetics. Two alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this condensed final EIS. Under the action alternative, I-70 would be reconstructed on a new alignment, including a new eight-lane bridge across the Mississippi River on the north side of the downtown area. An I-64 connector would link I-64 in Illinois to the bridge. The existing I-55/I-70 /I-64 interchange in Illinois would be raised above the water table, and the substandard Poplar Street Bridge approach interchange in Missouri would be rebuilt to provide a simplified approach and enhance I-55 access. The existing segment of I-70 between the new I-70 bridge and the Poplar Street Bridge would be resigned as I-44, and I-44 would be signed common with I-55 from the Poplar Street Bridge to the divergence of the two interstates immediately to the south. Both eastbound and westbound I-70 would incorporate access to and from both Tucker and Fourteenth streets, which are major arterials in the least congested northwest sector of downtown Saint Louis.

The project would generate some 21,000 person-years of direct, indirect, and induced employment, inject $1.2 billion into the local economy, and otherwise stimulate economic development in the core area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way would require 328 acres, resulting in the displacement of 13 occupied residences housing low-income, minority persons as well as 50 commercial establishments employing some 400 workers. The project would also result in the loss of 37 acres of wetlands and habitat for the federally and state protected decurrent false aster plant. Approximately 16.6 acres of fill would be placed within 100-year floodplain land, and an additional 6.7 acres of floodplain would be bridged by a ramp. Four industrial buildings in Missouri considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological resources associated with the prehistoric Cahokia Mound builders and pre-1900 archaeological resources could be encountered during construction. Less than one acre of parkland within the 90-acre Jefferson National Expansion Memorial would be affected by a construction easement. Noise levels would continue to exceed federal standards for some receptors, though noise walls would be constructed where feasible. Construction activities would encounter 100 hazardous materials sites, including three sites falling under federal jurisdiction.

AN - 16355225; 7969 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a shoreline protection plan for the coast of Fenwick Island, located on the southernmost portion of Delaware, is proposed. The island stretches for approximately one mile along the Atlantic Coast. The area has been subject to major flooding, erosion, and wave attack during storms, causing damage to structures and, since, 1992, twice resulting in Fenwick being declared a National Disaster Area. In addition, erosion has resulted in a reduction in the height and width of the beachfront, increasing the potential for storm damage. Alternatives considered in the final cycle of alternative analysis included berm restoration, berm and dune restoration, berm and dune restoration supplemented by a groin field, and berm restoration supplemented by a bulkhead. The selected alternative would involve beach fill to provide a dune and berm configuration with a width of 200 feet, including 125 feet of dune base and 75 feet of berm. The berm elevation would be 7.7 feet above NAVD, while the dune elevation would be 17.7 above NAVD. The plan would include planting of dune grass, sand fencing, construction of facilities for vehicle and pedestrian access, and placement of suitable advance beach fill and periodic nourishment. Initial fill operations would require 594,400 cubic yards of material to be dredged from an offshore borrow site. Periodic nourishment would occur at four-year intervals afterwards. The estimated initial project costs are $5.6 million in October 1999 dollars. The estimated cost of each periodic nourishment is $3.9 million. The estimated average annual project costs are $1.3 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood protection and erosion control provided by the project would result in annual benefits worth $2.8 million. The project would protect the structures, population, and biological environment of Fenwick Island. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and placement of fill would destroy benthos and result in temporary turbidity in the water column, and the placement of fill would displace benthic habitat. Approximately 74 acres of habitat would be adversely affected at the offshore dredging site during the initial placement of material; 40 acres of offshore habitat would be adversely affected during each periodic nourishment. Along the shoreline, the placement of fill would adversely affect 114.3 acres of aquatic habitat, including 5.3 acres of intertidal beach habitat and 109 acres of subtidal habitat.

Preparation date: April 14, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PUAINAKO STREET EXTENSION AND WIDENING, SOUTH HILO, HAWAII ISLAND, HAWAII COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 36407615; 7964 AB - PURPOSE: The extension and widening of Puainako Street in South Hilo, located on Hawaii Island in southeastern Hawaii, is proposed. The current ratio of traffic volume to capacity along several segments of Puainako Street approaches or exceeds 1.0 during peak hours. This leads to a level of service described as unstable or forces, resulting in severe traffic congestion. Accident rates for the facility substantially exceed the statewide norm. Traffic engineers predict a substantial worsening of this situation if no improvements were made. The project would extend approximately six miles from the intersection of Puainako Street and Kilauea Avenue to Saddle Road near Country Club Drive. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Two alignments are considered for the lower portion of the project and three for the upper portion, the two segments being separated by Komohana Street. Between Kilauea Avenue and Komohana Street, Puainako Street would be widened from two to four lanes. The 120-foot-wide right-of-way would accommodate dual sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Improvements to vertical grade yielding satisfactory sight distances and upgrades to intersections, including two new traffic signals, would also be included in the project. Along the western most 0.6-mile section of this stretch, the facility would be re-routed north of its current alignment. Puainako Street would be extended approximately 4.5 miles from Komohana Street to Saddle Road (Hawaii State Highway 200, also designated as Kuamana Drive) as a two-lane road. Depending on the combination of alternative alignments considered, the estimated cost of the project is $56.6 million to $61.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement and extension of Puainako Street would improve traffic circulation by directly linking the facility and Saddle Road and alleviating congested and unsafe traffic conditions on Puainako Street and Kuamana Drive. Substantial improvements in safety levels, travel times, circulation, efficiency, and air quality would result from the implementation of the project. The project would result in creation of 1,000 labor years during the construction, generating $24.0 million in direct income and $40.0 million in indirect and induced income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of 5.58 to 7.9 acres of floodplain and 0.68 to 7.19 acres of wetlands. It would also result in the displacement of up to five homes and 7.9 acres of prime farmland. Approximately 14 sugarcane-related archaeological sites would be lost. State air quality standards for carbon monoxide would be exceeded at several locations regardless of the alternative chosen. Noise increases would approach or exceed federal an state noise standards for up to 107 receptors, including homes and churches.

Preparation date: April 13, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGULATION SCHEDULE STUDY, FLORIDA. AN - 16355171; 7960 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, located in south-central Florida, is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring 720 square miles in area. It is a nationally renowned sport fishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee river estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving water bodies, including the Everglades which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by the final EIS would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. This document provides errata. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas. It would increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries, and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and seagrasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in vegetative change from sawgrass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could adversely affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA 3A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to adversely affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

AN - 36441923; 10047 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of additional shoreline protection measures along portions of Gasparilla and Estero islands in Lee County, Florida is proposed. Lee County is located on the lower golf coast of Florida. Shoreline erosion has been a problem for the county for a number of years. Property damage from tidal flooding and wave action during seasonal storms and hurricanes threatened $31.7 million and $66.6 million worth of structures on Gasparilla and Estero islands, respectively; these figures do not include infrastructure of land value at risk. The natural littoral process only partially restores the eroded beaches during favorable weather conditions. Local efforts at storm damage protection have been largely ineffectual. An absence of sand in the nearshore littoral system has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the protective nature of a natural beach and dune system. Five erosion protection alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, as well as several offshore borrow site alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would include a combination of beach nourishment and the construction of a terminal groin. The Estero Island plan would consist of a protective beach with an estimated berm width of 40 feet along 4.7 miles of the island, supported by a rubblemound groin at the northern end of the island; approximately 1.0 million cubic yards of material would be placed on the island. Borrow material for the Estero Island component of the project would be taken from a site approximately 16 miles west of the island. Renourishment of the beach would be undertaken at seven-year intervals, requiring 347,000 cubic yards of material. The Gasparilla Island plan would consist of a protective beach with an estimated berm width of 20 feet along 2.8 miles of shoreline; approximately 803,000 cubic yards of material would be placed on Gasparilla Island. Borrow for the Gasparilla Island component of the project would be taken from a site approximately 3,000 feet offshore of the south end of the island. Renourishment of the beach would be undertaken at seven-year intervals, requiring 542,000 cubic yards of material. The estimated combined cost of the recommended plan is $19.7 million, of which $5.1 million would be for the Gasparilla Island component and $14.7 million for the Estero Island component. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of erosion control for the two islands would protect residential and other structures and associated infrastructure while enhancing the recreational value of the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hopper dredge activities could adversely affect sea turtles and/or gulf sturgeon. Beach fill activities could impact sea turtle nesting and/or hatching. Dredging and placement of fill would smother benthic organisms and result in temporary, localized turbidity and could cause permanent damage to benthic habitat. Submerged cultural resources at the borrow site for Gasparilla Island could be damaged.

It is bounded on the west by the Everglades National Park and separated from the more intensively developed urban lands to the east by the L-31N flood protection levee and borrow canal. The south Florida ecosystem is a naturally and internationally unique and important natural resource which has been severely impacted by human activities for over 100 years. The Central and South Florida Project, authorized by Congress in 1948, is a multipurpose project providing flood control, water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses, prevention of saltwater intrusion, water supply for Everglades National Park, and protection of fish and wildlife resources. Since 1992, several of the other features of the MWD Project have been constructed; however, the full implementation of the MWD could not occur until flood mitigation was provided for the 8.5 SMA. The draft EIS of April 1999 looked at the implementation of a comprehensive plan for the restoration, protection, and preservation of the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades. Nine alternatives are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS. The action alternatives would involve variously levee construction, land acquisition, flowage easements, drainage systems, a seepage canal, and/or pumping facilities. The estimated capital costs of the project range from $9.2 million to $131 million, depending on the alternative selected. The total initial project costs are $31 million to $179 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The overall WMD plan would achieve the restoration of more natural flows of water, including sheetflow, improved water quality, and development of more natural hydroperiods in the south Florida ecosystem. Improvements to native flora and fauna, including threatened and endangered species, would result from the restoration of natural hydrologic conditions. Project features would vastly increase water storage and supply for the natural system as well as providing water for urban and agricultural needs, while maintaining current Central and Southern Florida Project purposes. The 8.5 Mile SMA project would provide flood protection to the affected area, allowing completion of the WMD plan. The 8.5 Mile SMA project could increase the extent of wetland within the area from 64,881 acres to 66,285 acres. The number of functional wetland habitat units available could increase from 13,405 units to 15,853 units. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 8.5 Mile SMA project would result in the displacement of one to 208 residences and up to 2,642 acres of farmland, resulting in a loss of up to $6.46 million in agricultural income. A number of landowners would be unwilling sellers. The project could decrease the extent of wetland within the area from 64,881 acres to 62,012 acres. The number of functional wetland habitat units available could decline from 13,405 units to 10,640 units.

AN - 16352842; 7952 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an interchange on Interstate Highway 84 (I-84) at Drury Lane in the towns of New Windsor, Montgomery, and Newburg, located in southeastern New York, is proposed. The interchange would provide access to the Steward International Airport (SIA). At present, the sole access to the SIA, including airport-bound freight and passenger traffic from the two existing interstate highways, I-84 and I-87, is via the local street network. This traffic travels primarily on New York State Route 17K (NY 17K), NY 300, NY 207, and Breunig Road. These roads are frequently congested and will become increasingly so with increases in background traffic, traffic generated by off-airport developments, and projected traffic from the anticipated growth in airport operations. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 5b, Option 3) would involve the construction a Drury Lane bridge over I-84, a diamond interchange on I-84 at Drury Lane, and an east-west connector roadway from Drury Lane to C Street, as well as the relocation of Drury Lane north of I-84 to NY 17K and the reconstruction of Drury Lane from I-84 to NY 207, the reconstruction of C Street, and modifications to Breunig Road between A Street and X Street. The project's estimated time of completion is 2002. The estimated construction cost for the preferred alternative is $40.51 million. The estimated annual highway user cost is $24.26 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interchange would improve access to SIA according to the airport's master plan, provide a safe, efficient highway system that would minimize the impact of interstate traffic travelling to and from the airport on local roadways, and stimulate the local economy consistent with local comprehensive plans. Vehicle miles traveled on local roads would be reduced from 343,600 to 279,600. Secondary development generated by the project would involve the potential development of a 2,300 acres of vacant land in the study area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would require the acquisition of 13.1 acres of rights-of-way and result in the displacement of two residences. The project would also result in the loss of 13.3 acres of wetlands, including 8.1 acres of palustrine forested wetland systems. In addition to adverse fill impacts, the project would segment 5.5 acres of wetlands.

The study was established under a Partnering Agreement between the NWS and the Willapa Port Commission for determining the feasibility of maintaining a reliable navigation channel through the Willapa Bay entrance. Willapa Bay is a large estuarine system located on the southern end of the Washington coast Its spring or diurnal range tidal prism is one of the largest of all inlets on the coast of the continental United States. The shifting channels at the entrance to Willapa Bay make navigation unreliable, and the local port cannot maintain or attract commercial users. Local interests obtained Congressional support to determine if an economical deep-draft channel can be established through the entrance bar. An economical channel implies a route that can be traversed safely under typical waves and tidal currents. The study was conducted in a multi-disciplinary approach involving engineering analysis, field measurements, geomorphologic analysis, and numerical modeling of waves, currents, and sediment transport in evaluation of alternative channel designs. These topics are covered in the main text of the report, with additional details and data compilations contained in appendices.

AN - 36412983; 7943 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of the Inner Harbor channels to allow the harbor to accommodate the most modern vessels in the commercial container fleet in the Port of Los Angeles, located in southern California, is proposed. The project site is located at the southern end of the city of Los Angeles and includes portions of the Los Angeles Inner and Outer Harbors in San Pedro Bay. The existing navigation channels and basins within the harbor are dredged to 45 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW), which does not provide enough draft for many newly build container vessels. Both alternative dredge depths and disposal sites are assessed in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of September 1992, as are 21 specific dredge and disposal combinations. Dredge depths of 50 feet, 53 feet, and 55 feet below MLLW are assessed. The project would result in the dredging of between 3.9 and 8.5 million cubic yards of sediment from the Los Angeles Main Channel, West Basin, East Basin, and Cerritos Channel. The federal portion of the project would dredge the channel to within 125 feet of the pierhead line throughout the project area and up to the pierhead line at one berth at selected container terminals Under the non-federal portion of the project, dredging would occur up to the pierhead line of selected berths. The project would also include dredging to deepen and widen the mouth of the Main Channel to provide port pilots with additional maneuvering room and easier access to the East Channel. The disposal sites under consideration include the Pier 300 Expansion Site, Pier 400 Submerged Storage Site, Pier 400 Upland Site, Southwest Slip Fill Site, another upland disposal site, and ocean disposal sites LA-2 and LA-3. The National Economic Development (NED) Plan, which would maximize economic benefits to the nation, would create depths of 53 feet MLLW within the harbor. The dredged material would be used to construct a 35-acre landfill and confined disposal facility in the Southwest Slip Fill Site, place 54 acres of submerged fill in the Cabrillo Shallow Water Habitat Expansion Site, and send the excess material for ocean disposal. The Modified NED Plan, which is the locally preferred plan and the recommended plan, would differ from the NED Plan in that dredge material would also be used to construct a 40-acre landfill at the Pier 300 Expansion Site. Dredging and disposal would begin after July of 2001 and the project would be completed after December 2002. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depths of the channels and basins within the harbor would allow the facility to accommodate the newest generation of container ships with drafts of up to 47.6 feet and larger ships that draft up to 52 feet which are in the design phase. The new depths would allow container carriers to cut costs and improve the economic position of the port. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The emission of air pollutants during the dredging and disposal would exceed federal standards. The noise from the operation of the 35-acre Southwest Slip Fill Site would temporarily exceed the construction thresholds and significantly impact about five residences near the Cabrillo Shallow Water Expansion Site. Potentially significant historic buildings and structures at Berths 118 to 120 facility would be destroyed due to the construction of the 75-acre container terminal at the Southwest Slip Fill Site. The extent of past and proposed soil disturbance in the area would increase from 8.1 percent at present to 9.4 percent.

AN - 16355042; 7932 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway around the western and southern sides of the city of Lawrence, located in eastern Kansas, is proposed. The facility, to be known as the South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT), would follow the existing 31st Street alignment between Louisiana Street and Haskell Avenue, running adjacent to the Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) campus. The proposed action would include the construction of a four-lane divided roadway with access limited to interchanges and at-grade construction; the acquisition of right-of-way, typically 450 feet; the construction of grade-separation interchanges at several locations; and on- and off-site enhancements. New information brought forth by the administration of HINU has made it necessary to study further the impacts of the proposed action in the vicinity of the HINU campus and review the alternatives to the proposed action. The analysis presented in this final supplemental EIS is limited to the area between US Route 59 (US 59) on the west and Kansas Route 10 on the east, a distance of approximately six miles. The northern and southern limits of this corridor are 23rd Street and the Wakarusa River, respectively. The portion of the project from the Kansas Turnpike (Interstate Highway 70) to US 59 has been constructed and is open to traffic. The construction on the portion of the project under consideration in the final supplemental EIS has been suspended to address spiritual, cultural, academic, and development concerns expressed by HINU authorities. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, the 31st Street Alternative, the 35th Street Alternative, and the 38th Street Alternative are under consideration. The preferred alternative for the SLT bounded by US 59 on the west and K-10 on the east is the No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The elimination of the segment of the project bordering HINU would preserve the cultural, spiritual, and academic character of the campus. Under the preferred alternative, there would be no displacement of residences and agricultural land and ecologically sensitive areas, such as state-designated critical habitat for a federally-designated endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would not contribute to relieving congestion on existing 23rd Street and Iowa Street. The Douglas County circumferential transportation system would be incomplete. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.)

AN - 36408007; 8041 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of hurricane and storm damage reduction measures for Port Monmouth, located eastern New Jersey, is proposed. Port Monmouth is a residential community extending along 7,000 feet of the Sandy Hook Bayshore west of Sandy Hook. The area has been subject to major tidal inundation during storms, causing damage to structures throughout the low-lying community. Most of the flooding has been the result of overflow from Pews and Compton creeks, which border the area on the west and east. However, over the years, continued erosion has resulted in a reduction of the height and width of the bayshore dune, increasing the potential for storm damage. A No Action Alternative, three non-structural alternatives, and three sets of structural alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The selected plan would provide a beach berm and dune system along the Sandy Hook Bayshore, with a system of levees and floodwalls provided along both creeks. Protective measures would extend continuously from the adjacent East Keansbury levee, across Pews Creek, along the bayshore, and thence along undeveloped lands adjoining Compton Creek. The plan would provide levees and floodwalls featuring a peak elevation of 14 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), with a beach fill featuring a berm width of 50 feet at an elevation of 9 feet above the NGVD backed by a dune crest width of 25 feet at an elevation of 16 feet above the NGVD. In order to accommodate this design, the plan would placing a storm gate across Pews Creek, closing three roads, elevating Port Monmouth Road, and creating pedestrian dune walkovers. The bayshore protection component would require 378,500 cubic yards (cy) of initial fill to be taken from a offshore borrow site. In addition, 125,00 cy of periodic nourishment and 127,300 cy of periodic fill placement would be required. The levee construction would require 107,800 cy of fill. The estimated initial project costs are $29.1 million at May 1998 price levels, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood control and other benefits provided by the project would be worth at $3.2 million annually. The plan would allow for greater transport of suspended sediments out of the salt marsh due to increases in peak ebb tidal velocities allowed by operation of the storm gate and enhance habitat for horseshoe crabs, migratory birds wintering waterfowl, and the federal threatened Piping plover. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in loss of 2.04 black duck and 3.14 marsh wren habitat units due to construction activities. By the year 2052, black duck and marsh wren habitat would be reduced by 49.94 and 136.71 units. Approximately 2.13 acres of upland habitat and 7.13 acres of wetlands would be displaced, and an additional 5.63 acres of wetlands would be indirectly impacted. Construction activities would destroy benthic organisms. Native American prehistoric resources could be adversely affected.

A diverse array of instrumentation, such as interferometric swath bathymetry, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) side-scan sonar and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data, all produce large data streams in different formats and at differing scales, which are not easily combined. We have found that geographic information systems (GIS) technology is an effective way to store, visualize and analyze such geospatial data. Examples from Cape Lookout Shoals include: gridded bathymetric data that is contoured and used as a data layer for interpretation of slope and volume changes between successive surveys; and near-real time AVHRR satellite data that is rectified using a linear shift method, assisting in observations of shoal and headland influenced regional oceanography. In concert, ADCP surveys are mapped in vectored or contoured space to show the direction and magnitude of tidal-driven currents, which are used to groundtruth the satellite data and estimate sediment flux that may influence bathymetry. GIS technologies not only allows these data sets to be viewed simultaneously, but also assists in correlating these data and verify model output.

These data may be used to divide the inner shelf from Cape Lookout to Cape Fear into four geologic regions based on seafloor outcrop patterns and shallow stratigraphic framework: 1) unconsolidated to poorly-lithified Miocene shelf sediments, extending from Cape Lookout to Brown's Inlet; 2) a submarine headland formed by a well-lithified Oligocene unit (Belgrade Fm.) from Brown's Inlet to southern Topsail Island; 3) variably lithified, Oligocene outcrop (River Bend Fm.) with Plio-Pleistocene valley-fill limestones that extends from southern Topsail Island to Cape Fear; and 4) Pleistocene coquina ridges that cap the River Bend Fm. from Masonboro Island to Cape Fear. Numerous Quaternary fluvial channel complexes are present in each of the four regions. These channels are incised up to approximately 20 m below the sea floor, and are filled with fluvial and estuarine sediments. Most channels exhibit multiple episodes of cut-and-fill and contain reworked mollusk shells representing several late Quaternary amino-stratigraphic age zones. The overall nature of the inner shelf is that of a sediment-starved, active surface of marine erosion with only a thin (<1 m) veneer of modern sediment that is completely absent in many locations. The distribution of sediment and rock units on the Onslow Bay inner shelf influences the morphology and evolution of the adjacent barrier island system at both inter- and intra-island scales. Regressive barriers are present only where the inner shelf is composed of sand-rich, unconsolidated material. Transgressive barriers are present elsewhere; some transgressive barriers are perched on subcrops of ancient rock units. Variations in inner shelf geology also affect the cross-shore exchange of beach and shelf sediment at storm-event to millennial time scales by dictating sediment availability and dispersal pathways.

The ship, which ran aground in waters less than 4 m deep while attempting to navigate Beaufort Inlet, now rests in 7 m of water on the shoals of the inlet, exposed to waves and tides and their combined impact on the bottom. In this study, we addressed process-related questions by obtaining time series measurements on the bottom over a nearly-continuous interval of one year which, fortuitously, captured the effects of a hurricane. We believe that the information will be useful for site management and in establishing a timetable for artifact recovery. An electromagnetic current meter with an integrated pressure sensor was deployed at the site from May 1998 to April 1999. Estimates of sediment transport revealed that sediment was stable under fairweather and moderate storm conditions, but that a significant volume of sediment was mobilized when wave heights exceeded 1.5 m. During Hurricane Bonnie when wave heights were 2.5 m, mean currents reached 100 cm/s (2 knots) and instantaneous currents were 400 cm/s (8 knots), 18 m (super 3) of sediment were transported to the northwest along every 1-m-wide swath of the bottom near the wreck. Following the hurricane, a high-resolution bathymetric survey revealed a depression on the northwest side of the rubble mound, indicating that this area was subjected to oscillatory wave scour yet sheltered by the rubble mound itself from sediment transport to the northwest. Storm-related scour around the rubble mound may be responsible, in part, for the intact settling of the hull and artifacts over the past 300 years.

Approximately 25 maps and charts, dating to the early 1700s, have been digitized as a way of reconstructing the early configuration of the inlet, determining how the inlet has changed over the past three centuries, and answering the question as to why, in such a shallow, heavily-traveled and close-to-shore location, the artifacts remained undiscovered until 1996. Results indicate that Beaufort Inlet was oriented to the southwest throughout most of the 1700s and that there was extensive offshore pivotal movement of the channel but little net migration. Depth plots show five episodes of burial at the wreck site with average duration of 45 yr, and nine distinct changes in channel orientation from southeast to nearly due west. Depth and duration of burial were clearly tied to channel location with deepest burial occurring when the inlet channel was oriented to the south. Early bathymetry suggests that the ship ran aground on the terminal lobe of the ebb tidal delta after safely crossing the 4.5-m-deep outer bar; bathymetric information also suggests that the wreck has been buried for much of its life on the bottom (225 out of the past 282 yr), thereby diminishing the chances for discovery.

Although the origin of these coastal features remains a mystery, recent findings from Cape Lookout, NC offer a new and plausible explanation for the development of the shoals, which extend more than 15-km across the inner and mid-shelf. Numerical modeling and field observations of the flow field around Cape Lookout indicate that a tidal-driven headland flow is directed seaward from the exposed cusp and remains focused along the axis of the cape-associated shoal. This seaward-directed current is produced from residual eddies that form on both sides of the cape when tidal flow curves around the promontory. Analysis of five years of satellite imagery of sea surface temperature and turbidity shows that the seaward flow serves as a first-order mechanism for rapidly exporting nearshore and estuarine waters as far as the outer shelf. Data from near-bottom current meters deployed on the shallow crest of the shoal indicate the seaward residual flow may steer sediment that has been mobilized by wave and tidal currents. Sediment transport calculations, using the Bailard energetics equation, show that the direction of net sediment transport is consistent with observations and modeling of regional circulation and with the long-term sediment accumulation of 500,000 m (super 3) /yr. The link between the sedimentary processes, which feed and maintain these shoals, and promontory-related residual flow suggests that the barrier islands emerged and assumed a cuspate shape first, followed by current patterns that initiated and enhanced the development of the shoals.

Observations have included repetitive cross-shore surveys to 9 m depth; measurements of meteorology, waves, currents, tides, etc; geologic studies (cores, sub-bottom profiling, side scan); and most recently, real-time measurements of bottom changes. These long-term measurements are permitting quantitative study of the shoreface which are important to understanding such concepts as profile closure, barrier island transgression, and nearshore sediment budgets. The dominant nearshore morphologic response is the formation, movement and decay of one or two longshore sandbars. These bars form and migrate within approximately 400 m of shore and at depths less than approximately 6 m. In general, longshore bars develop and move offshore during high energy conditions and onshore during fairweather. On the upper shoreface, seaward of this inshore region, changes are smaller, but significant when considering the volume of the active shoreface prism. A striking feature of observed upper shoreface change is that it is dominated by abrupt increases in sediment volume occurring during the passage of storm sequences. These storm groups are comprised of two or more large storms (wave heights exceeding 4 m) occurring within a short period (<39 days). In contrast, single significant storms produce less change. During intervening periods between groups, shoreface sediments are either stable or migrating onshore at a constant rate. In an effort to better understand shoreface changes, real-time bottom changes have been monitored since 1994 at 5.5, 8, and 13 m depths. Changes at 13 m have been greater than expected, and at times greater than the shallower locations. However, because this region is well outside the widest storm surf zone, it is yet unclear as to the relationship between changes at 13 m and the nearshore sediment budget. Additional studies using new, deep, high-accuracy surveys are being undertaken to better define and understand the links between these different zones.

The report summarizes the processes of acquiring and using geological, geophysical, geotechnical, and other kinds of relevant information that support design considerations with respect to liquefaction hazard and that may affect the construction or performance of a building or other engineered structure at selected sites. A historical perspective is provided to define liquefaction phenomena observed during earthquakes and to support identification of soil characteristics associated with liquefaction. Guidance is presented for site characterization studies, including the various in situ tests available for liquefaction potential evaluation. Screening techniques are described for preliminary hazard assessment; progressively more detailed procedures are presented to provide for investigations that are judged necessary once screening procedures identify soils that may pose a hazard to important facilities. Deterministic procedures are treated in this report. JF - NUREG/CR (United States.

Exploration for these sand resources starts with analysis of the geologic setting, often with remote sensing tools, highlighting the possibility for relict sand deposits. Vibracore sampling and laboratory testing determine the quality of the sand deposits. Grain size comparisons with the native beach sand verify the compatibility of the sand for use in beach restoration. The geologic setting is used to determine the Government's position for construction contract differing site conditions claims. The geotechnical aspects of beach restoration for Dade, Duval, Manatee and Pinellas County's beach restoration projects are reviewed.

AN - 36412815; 7923 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Missouri National Recreational River, located in northeastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota, is proposed. The need for a management plan has been recognized since 1980. However, the implementation of the plan had been stalled by the addition of three species to the federal list of threatened and endangered species. Other policy issues have also contributed to the delay in implementation of a management plan for the Missouri National Recreational River. The Missouri River flows south from Montana and the Dakotas and feeds into the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Missouri. The Missouri River is home to endangered plants and animals, such as the pallid sturgeon and the piping plover. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would comprise a resource protection and recreation regime, emphasizing the protection and enhancement of biologic value and the history and culture of the area. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the National Park Service (NPS) could develop a revised cooperative agreement emphasizing the maintenance or enhancement of natural and cultural resources, streambank protection, the maintenance of scenic qualities as viewed from the river, low levels of visitor use, and public understanding of the area through interest group involvement. The rural quality of the area would be maintained, intrusive development would be restricted, and maintenance of the landscape through local government and private means would be encouraged. Easements, zoning, and tax incentives would be used. COE and NPS managers could combine existing facilities to improve efficiency. Two boat ramps would be provided on the South Dakota bank, and a bike trail would be provided on the Nebraska bank. Essential streambank erosion control could be allowed on a case-by-case basis, and purchase of rapidly eroding banks from willing sellers could be considered. Natural resource management would act to restore the natural function of the river and habitat, including instream habitat and habitat for species of special concern. Management activities would emphasize the historic and cultural aspects of the river. Visitor management would emphasize high-quality wildlife observation, hunting, fishing, and boating. Alternative 3 would provide for increased recreational emphases on the river. Recreational river boundaries would change somewhat under both Alternative 2 and Alternative 3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management scheme would support an increased in recreational visitation, which would boost the local economy. Fish and wildlife would benefit, and there would be long-term beneficial impacts on vegetation as well. Prime and unique farmland would be retained. Cultural resources would most likely benefit from enhanced protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If additional funding and personnel were unavailable to carry out the proposals, cultural resources could be adversely affected.

AN - 16343720; 7917 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of electronic hardware and computer software of the early warning radar (EWR) at Clear Air Force Station (AFS) in central Alaska, Beale Air Force Base (AFB) in north-central California, and Cape Cod AFS in southeastern Massachusetts, is proposed. The proposed action would be in support of the deployment of a national missile defense (NMD) program. The NMD program would be the defense of the United States against a threat of a limited strategic ballistic missile attack. The NMD system would be a fixed, land-based, non-nuclear missile defense system with a land- and space-based detection system capable of responding to limited strategic ballistic missile threats. The NMD system would consist of ground-based interceptors, X-band radar, upgraded EWR (UEWR), a space-based detection system, and battle management, command, control, and communications. The PAVE PAWS (PAVE is an Air Force program name and PAWS is phased array warning system) EWR at Clear AFS and the existing PAVE PAWS EWRs at Beale AFB and Cape Cod AFS would be used by the NMD program. The interior electronic hardware and computer software replacement would provide more precise tracking and identification of ballistic missiles launched against the U.S. Issues of concern include health and safety, and cultural resources. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft supplement to the draft EIS of September 1999. The proposed action would replace electronic hardware and computer software at the existing EWRs at Clear AFS, Beale AFB, and Cape Cod AFS. The hardware modifications would consist of replacing existing computers, graphic displays, communication equipment, and radar receivers/exciters. The EWR software would be rewritten to incorporate the NMD function and allow the acquisition, tracking, and classification of small objects near the horizon. There would be no change to either peak or average power levels emitted by the radar. Staffing levels and daily operations would remain essentially unchanged. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The UEWRs would be able to search for different types of missiles, distinguish hostile objects such as warheads from other objects, and provide this data to other NMD elements using improved communications systems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: No unavoidable adverse environmental effects are expected. LEGAL MANDATES: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (49 U.S.C. 303).

AN - 36406584; 7911 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of gold mining operations at the Pipeline Mine within the Gold Acres Mining District, located in central Nevada, is proposed. The project area lies 30 miles southeast of Battle Mountain. The project would continue the mining of gold and incidental silver within the project area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the applicant's proposed action), Cortez Gold Mines, Inc. (GCM) would develop the South Pipeline ore deposit and construct associated facilities to continue to extract gold from the mined ore within the project area. GCM would conduct certain activities at the approved Cortez Facilities without substantial modification to those facilities. In addition, the applicant's proposal would include a right-of-way (ROW)application for construction of a water pipeline and plans to modify a portion of the Gold Acres Facilities. The principal components of the proposal would include the expansion of the Pipeline open pit, which would eventually include the South Pipeline open pit; a new heap leach facility; the expansion of the existing Pipeline waste rock dump and tailings facility; the extension of process solution pipelines from the South Pipeline leach facility to other process facilities within the project area; new ore and sub-grade ore and growth media stockpiles; increasing of the Pipeline mill throughput; the development of new groundwater extraction wells; the rerouting of a portion of Cortez Mine Road; the abandonment of a portion of the ROW for the Gold Acres haul road; the establishment of ROW for a pipeline to deliver water to Dean Ranch; and the delivery of up to 6,000 gallons per minute (gpm) to the adjacent Dean Ranch via the ROW for consumption on private land. The rate of groundwater pumping and disposal would be no greater than 34,500 gpm. The applicant's proposal would not alter CGM's current average mining rate of 150,000 tons per day (tpd); the maximum rate would be 250,000 tpd. An estimated 150 million tons of ore would be mined from the South Pipeline open pit, resulting in 450 million tons of waste rock. Most of the waste rock (250 million tons) would be hauled to a mined-out portion of the South Pipeline open pit. The project would also include dewatering and reclamation provisions. The mine life would extend eight years, with an additional two years for further ore processing and site closure. The schedule could change if reserves were found to be greater than expected or economic conditions change. The Pipeline Backfill Alternative would dispose of waste rock into the Pipeline open pit rather than the South Pipeline waste rock dump. This second action alternative would involve the alteration of the mining sequence and backfilling provisions. The applicant's proposal has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The applicant's proposal would extend the operational life of CGM's mining and processing operations by eight years and continue to employ 450 to 500 workers during that period. Approximately 4.58 million ounces of gold and minor amounts of silver would be generated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The applicant's proposal would disturb 4,450 acres of surface in addition to that already disturbed, resulting in an overall disturbed area of 7,616 acres of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. The implementation of the Pipeline Backfill Alternative would disturb 3,841 acres of surface in addition to that already disturbed. The mining and related activities would result in the restriction of future mineral resource extraction due to facility siting, the dewatering of streams and springs and the resultant loss of vegetation including special status species, the degradation of groundwater quality, and the introduction of noxious weeds to disturbed areas. Blasting activities would result in significant noise emissions. Accidental spills of hazardous materials would pose a hazard to human populations in the area.

AN - 16354971; 7906 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Missouri State Route 19 (MO 9) Missouri River bridge, located in the city of Hermann in east-central Missouri, is proposed. The 3.4-mile project corridor extends from the MO 19/MO 94 intersection one mile north of the bridge to a point on MO 19 approximately two miles south of the bridge. The corridor also extends one mile east and west of MO 19 at the existing bridge. Improvements along MO 19 beyond the bridge approaches would be limited to those necessary for realigning the roadway or developing a new or modified roadway cross-section to tie into a new bridge location or lane configuration. Improvements would also include reconstructing a short segment of new causeway between the north end of the bridge and the existing MO 19 causeway and adding turning lanes at the MO 19/East MO 100 intersection. Although the construction of a toll booth as proposed by Hermann Transportation Corporation is not part of the project, impacts related to the toll booth are addressed. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Two build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the two build alternatives, the project would provide a new bridge approximately 50 feet east or west of the existing structure. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5-W1), which would lie west of the existing structure, the last curved span of the existing causeway would be replaced with a straight span, aligning the causeway with the new bridge. North of the Missouri River, this alternative would eliminate two existing horizontal curves on the causeway. South of the river, the alternative would joint MO 19 approximately 20 feet west of the existing bridge touch down point. The other action alternative (Alternative 5-E1), which would lie east of the existing structure, would include the construction of an S-shaped curve to connect with the bridge. It would join MO 19 approximately 20 feet east of the existing bridge touch down point. Under either alternative, one or more protected bike lanes would be provided and the toll booth would be located 1,050 feet north of the Loutre River on MO 19. The estimated costs of Alternative 5-W1 and Alternative 5-E1 are $29 million and $29.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bridge would safely serve existing and projected traffic volumes, improve operational efficiency for local and through traffic on MO 19, and maintain, or possibly enhance, the economic viability of the area served by the bridge. The replacement of the existing, substandard bridge would improve the reliability of travel, reduce accidents and operating costs, and provide a safe travel way for pedestrians and bicyclists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for Alternative 5-W1 and Alternative 5-E1 would result in the acquisition of 0.3 acres and 0.4 acres of land, respectively. Alternative 5-W1 would result in the loss of 3.9 acres of woodland and 3.4 acres of floodplain. Alternative 5-E1 would result in the loss of 3.7 acres of woodland and 3.7 acres of floodplain. Either alternative would result in the loss of 0.8 acre of wetland. Either alternative would include one river/stream crossing. The Pilot House steamboat replica would be relocated on the northwest corner of the MO 19/East MO 100 intersection under Alternative 5-W1, and the service station on the northeast corner of the MO 19/East MO 100 intersection would be relocated under Alternative 5-E1. The project would adversely affect the existing bridge structure, which is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The project could adversely affect the habitats of federally-protected species including pallid sturgeons, piping plovers, Indiana bats, and least interior terns.

AN - 16352690; 7899 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an 11.2-mile-long, controlled-access highway from Otay Mesa Road, also called California State Route 905 (CA 905), to CA 54, located in Bonita/Spring Valley in southwestern California, is proposed. The project would consist of six mixed-flow lanes and a median with a sufficient width to accommodate two high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes or transit facilities. Nine build alternative segments, one variation segment, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would be operated as a tollway. Initially, CA 125 would be constructed as a four-lane, controlled-access highway, with local interchanges at Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road and East H Street and a freeway-to-freeway interchange with CA 54. The initial southern terminus would be a local street connection at Otay Mesa Road and a transition to existing CA 905 south of Otay Mesa Road. The implementation of HOV lanes would not be expected until after the expiration of a 35-year franchise period. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $286 million. A March 1999 draft supplement to the draft EIS of June 1996 addressed impacts to the Quino checkerspot butterfly, a federally-listed endangered species, as well as project changes due to updated studies and various concerns raised to date. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would constitute an important link in the Outer Loop freeway system included in the adopted San Diego Association of Governments Regional Transportation Plan. Potential benefits would include a reduction in energy consumption by eliminating out of direction travel, increased accessibility for residents and business concerns, and relief of traffic congestion on regional and local transportation systems. Research on the Quino checkerspot butterfly would contribute to its possible recovery and removal from the endangered species list. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development affecting 759 acres would result in the displacement of 11 residences and five businesses and disrupt neighborhood cohesion. The project would result in the after-mitigation loss of 119 to 168 acres of open space, 81 acres of park land, 5.26 acres of wetland, 0.24 acre of vernal pool, 60.5 acres of coastal sage scrub, 5.6 acres of maritime succulent scrub, and 7,000 Otay tarplants. Four sites providing habitat for San Diego fairy shrimp, one population of Quino checkerspot butterfly, 23 to 24 pairs of California gnatcatchers, and eight pairs of Least Bell's vireo would also be adversely affected. The project would require the relocation of four trails and the severing of one trail. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards for some sensitive receptors. One archaeological site would be disturbed.

Preparation date: February 11, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MARSHALLS CREEK TRAFFIC RELIEF STUDY, US ROUTE 209, MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36408020; 7887 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access highway in the village of Marshalls Creek, located in eastern Pennsylvania, is proposed. The highway would provide a connection between US Route 209 (US 209), Business US 209, and Pennsylvania State Route 402 (PA 402), while bypassing existing intersections in the village, thereby alleviating severe traffic congestion problems. US 209 is a major north-south arterial highway in the heart of the Pocono Mountain resort area, providing a vital link between Interstate Highway 80 (I-80) and I-84. Issues of concern include the acquisition of property and impacts on people and the environment, Van D. Yetter Mobile Home Park, side roads, noise levels, and resources affected by new land development. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of October 1995. A January 1998 draft supplement to the draft EIS identified two additional alternatives. Yet another alternative was developed to avoid impacts to habitat for two rare species of fish, bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) and ironcolor shiner (Notropis chalybaeus), federally-listed endangered species. The preferred alternative identified in the supplement (Alternative 3D1 MOD-3) would follow the same general route as the existing Oak Grove Drive, which would be relocated to the east. In addition, an access road would be established to the west of Oak Grove Drive for direct access to PA 402 from Russell Ridge Road. Other service roads would be updated as well. The preferred alternative, which would consist of the alternative developed to reduce impacts on the fish, would largely follow the design and alignment of Alternative 3D1RB Modified. The project would also include congestion management system strategies to further relieve traffic congestion within this portion of Monroe and Pike counties. The estimated total cost of the preferred alternative is $57.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide smoother highway transitions from I-80 to PA 209 and PA 402, improved mobility for those who live and work in the area, improved traffic safety conditions, improved access and mobility for emergency management services vehicle operations, and lower accident levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Due to local terrain characteristics, all build alternatives would present the possibility of difficult excavation, sinkhole involvement, debris fragments, and slope stability concerns. Some 70.45 acres of erosion-prone soils would be disturbed by construction activity, as well as 20,384 square yards of floodplain, 12 wetlands areas, and 755.3 feet of stream. The loss of various types of vegetation would result in the loss of 419.57 habitat units. Three waste sites would be located in possible project corridors. The project would result in the displacement of 23 residential units and three businesses. Two visual resource areas and 12 archaeological resource sites would be adversely affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 25 receptor locations. The projected total fiscal impacts on Monroe County municipal finances are losses of $49,732.

Preparation date: February 2, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INDIANA STATE ROUTE 641 TERRE HAUTE BYPASS FROM US ROUTE 41 TO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 70, VIGO COUNTY, INDIANA. AN - 36406985; 7886 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, fully-controlled-access highway, designated Indiana State Route 641 (IN 641), linking US Route 41 (US 41) south of Terre Haute with Interstate Highway 70 (I-70) east of Terre Haute, located in western Indiana, is proposed. The project would provide future and local through traffic a way to bypass heavy congestion on US 41 south of I-70. Traffic demand already uses all available capacity in portions of this section of US 41, and conditions will worsen as time goes on. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, a 6.2-mile link would connect US 41 near Bono Road to IN 46 at I-17, bypassing Terre Haute. The project would extend from a new interchange on US 41 approximately 4.3 miles south of I-70 and 4.9 miles east of US 41. Intermediate interchanges would be constructed at Wolf Road/Canal Road and at Riley Road/IN 46. East of US 41, Bono and Eaton roads would be closed at US 42 but alternative local access to the facility would be provided. Eaton Road would most likely be linked north and west via a new local service road connecting directly to US 41. On the west side of US 41, access to Ivy Tech State College (Ivy Tech) would be maintained via a new road constructed north from Dallas Road through a cultivated farm field to Rice Road, which would also be closed at US 41. The new link would be aligned to Wabash Road. The new links serving Ivy Tech and the Youngstown community in the Eaton/Bono Road area would be constructed by the Indiana Department of Transportation and then turned over to Vigo County. The bypass would proceed northeast from US 41, passing over the CSX railroad and then Woodsmall Road. A service road would be constructed north from Woodsmall Road to serve farmland that would otherwise be landlocked on the east side of the bypass. After the Wolf/Canal Road interchange, the bypass would pass over the ConRail and SOO railroad lines and thence over Feree Road. The next interchange would carry Riley Road over the bypass, with a service road mostly likely to be provided along the south side of the bypass from Riley Road west to access farm fields that otherwise would be landlocked. Proceeding northeast to the point where the bypass would meet existing IN 46, the facility would pass over Moyer Road, with service drives provided on either side of the bypass north of Moyer Road. The I-70/IN 46 interchange would be reconstructed. The estimated cost of the project is $76.9 million in 1999 dollars, including $2.9 million, $4.7 million, and $69.3 million for design, rights-of-way acquisition, and construction, respectively. Also under consideration are low-cost transportation system management techniques, travel demand management techniques, and mass transit. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of the link would provide better local access to Vigo County residents by creating an alternative travel route around a currently congested section of US 41, improve conditions on US 41 for those accessing the congested commercial areas, provide a bypass of Terre Haute for through travelers moving between US 41 and I-17 east, and improve access to the Hulman Regional Airport and the Vigo County Industrial park. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 20 residences, two tenant-occupied units, two businesses, one vacant commercial location, two part-time farms, and five full-time farms. The project would also result in the loss of 466 acres of land, including 211 acres of cultivated farmland, 50 acres of uncultivated farmland, 107 acres of woodlands, 15 acres of institutional land, 13 acres of palustrine open water habitat, 17 acres of other wetlands, 52 acres of residential property, and 2.2 acres of commercial property. Intermittent watercourses would be crossed at six locations and semipermanent watercourses at three points, and one stream would be channelized. The project would landlock 102 acres of land, including 33 acres of farmland. Traffic noise and highway structures would be introduced into a rural area, and the bypass would result in some loss of business along existing US 41.

The TBP is calculated from contaminant concentration and organic carbon content of the sediment, lipid content of target organisms, and a partition coefficient, usually the biota- sediment accumulation factor (BSAF). However, routine applications of TBP have not included analysis of uncertainty. This paper demonstrates two methods for uncertainty analysis of TBP: a computational method that incorporates random and systematic error and a simulation method using bootstrap resampling of replicated model input parameters to calculate statistical uncertainty measures. For prediction of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioaccumulation in bivalves exposed to contaminated sediments, uncertainty as a factor of TBP ranged from 1.2 to 4.8 using the computational method and 0.5 to 1.9 based on bootstrap 95% confidence intervals. Sensitivity analysis indicated that BSAF parameters, especially tissue contaminant concentration and lipid content, contributed most to TBP uncertainty. In bootstrap tests of significance, TBP significantly over- or underestimated actual PAH bioaccumulation in bivalves in 41% and 10% of comparisons, respectively.

Important questions in environmental impact assessment are to what extent do these contaminated sediments influence overlying water and how the impacts can be minimized. JF - Special Report.

A common first step for approximating a river channel is tessellation, or the discretization of the channel into cells of approximately uniform size, and assigning each cell a representative value for velocity or other characteristics. More innovative methods may use the fractal dimension to characterize patterns of features in spatially complex geological structures, such as channel bed forms. Unfortunately, these methods lose information because they either force continuous data into a grid framework or assume that complexity is constant over a range of scales. The current understanding of aquatic processes would improve if information about the scale of channel features could be preserved throughout the analysis instead of being discarded in the first step because simplifying assumptions were used. New methods are presented that characterize complex spatial data sets with minimal use of assumptions or simplifying approximations. The new methods identify dominant features in a set of coordinate data, locate the positions of such features in the cross section, describe how kinetic energy is distributed in these features, and quantify how features of different scales relate to one another. The effectiveness of this technique on mathematical constructs having known characteristics is demonstrated. The methods are then used to describe a Missouri River cross section before and after river regulation to illustrate how the methods can be used to quantify changes in physical habitat patterns that may not be apparent using other methods. Improved description of complex shapes in aquatic environments may lead to increased understanding of aquatic processes in general, and in particular, the way aquatic organisms relate to physical habitat.

The dissolved solids content was varied by adding 0-2000 mg/l NaCl to samples of alum sludge. The effect of the dissolved solids was observed by taking photographs of thin sections of each frozen sample and measuring the resulting aggregated particle sizes. The results of this study indicate that a relatively small amount of dissolved solids (500 mg/l NaCl or less) can cause ice crystal growth to change from columnar to dendritic. As a result, the mean aggregated particle size was reduced by approximately 50%. These results explain why the aggregated particles from alum sludge are larger than those produced from wastewater sludge. Generally, alum sludge contains very little dissolved solids, so crystal growth is columnar. Conversely, since wastewater sludges usually contain a significant amount of dissolved solids, crystal growth becomes dendritic. Thin sections photographed between cross polarizers reveal that most of the aggregated particles were contained within individual ice crystals and not at the crystal boundaries.

The erosivity, e.g., sediment transport capacity, of the flows in rills is partially a function of the cross-sectional geometry of the rill which determines flow velocity and depth. Conversely, rill geometry is determined by flow erosivity and by soil processes that affect the erodibility and stability of soil along the rill. Thus, complex feedbacks exist in the mechanics of rill erosion. The objective of this study was to measure the effects of one of the soil processes that affect rill geometry, soil freeze-thaw (FT) cycling. An unvegetated rectangular rill was subjected to two FT cycles, each lasting several days, in a controlled laboratory setting. The FT cycling increased the water content and reduced the cohesion in the surface soil along the rill sufficiently to induce soil slumps and mud flows along the sidewalls of the rill. These mass failures changed the rectangular rill to a triangular one, which reduced the hydraulic radius of the rill by 32%. Using Manning's equation, it was estimated that this new geometry could reduce the velocity of the flow in this altered rill by about 25%. The persistence of the new rill shape and, thus, that of the slower flow would depend on the complex interactions between flow velocity and the resistance of the slumped sediment to those flows. That persistence was not investigated in this experiment. These results can be used in parameterizing models of rill evolution that incorporate widening of rills by mass failures along the rill sidewalls.

AN - 36392706; 7882 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge over the Mississippi River connecting Desha County in southeastern Arkansas with Rosedale in northwestern Mississippi, is proposed. The project corridor would extend 25 to 34 miles, depending on the route alternative selected. 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. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Each build alternative would consist of a two-lane highway with no control of access and a single-track railroad located immediately adjacent to and parallel to the roadway. The typical right-of-way width for the bridge would be 200 feet between the Mississippi River levees and 250 feet outside the levees. Outside the levees, the highway and railroad would lie on earthen embankment with infrequent bridge or culvert structures for the crossing of minor streams and drainageways. Between the Mississippi River levees, the improvements would be constructed entirely on bridge structures. The bridge crossings of the main channels of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers would be accomplished in accordance with federal navigational requirements. Configurations options for the main span bridges would include a combination roadway/railroad bridge or separate bridges; either configuration would fit within the typical right-of-way. The preferred alternative (Alternative 5, the Southern Alternative) would connect US Route 65 and the Union Pacific Railroad on the north side of McGehee in Arkansas and cross the Mississippi River approximately two miles north of Arkansas City in Arkansas, immediately downstream of Cypress Bend and Catfish Point. The eastern terminus of this alternative would consist of a connection to Mississippi State Route 1 and the Great River Railroad a short distance north of Benolit in Mississippi, approximately 14 miles south of Rosedale. The facility would extend 24.6 miles. The estimated low- and high-end capital costs for the project are $520 million and $610 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Rosedale in Mississippi and Dumas in Arkansas. It would also attract industry to the region, expand existing industry in the region, expand the employment base, and attract tourists to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The bridge would have a major adverse aesthetic and visual effect on views of the river, including the view from the Great River Road State Park. Two residences in Arkansas and one church in Mississippi would be exposed to increased noise levels. Approximately 60 percent of the alignment of the project would pass through minority census areas and 40 percent would pass through low-income areas. The project would result in the loss of approximately 587 acres of farmland. It would also adversely affect 47 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands, 36.9 swamp forest wetlands, 7.2 acres of riverfront forest wetlands, 2.3 acres of emergent wetlands, and 13.6 acres of farmed wetlands. The project would traverse 11.7 miles within five floodplains.

AN - 36415703; 7877 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, located in south-central Florida, is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring over 720 square miles in area. It is a nationally renowned sportfishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee river estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving water bodies, including the Everglades, which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by this final EIS would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas. It would also increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries, and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and seagrasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in a vegetative change from sawgrass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could adversely affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA 3A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to adversely affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

Preparation date: January 23, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SALTON SEA RESTORATION PROJECT, IMPERIAL AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36415574; 7875 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecological restoration plan for the Salton Sea, located in south-central California, is proposed. The Salton Sea, an artificially maintained body of water, is an excessively salty, nutrient-rich lake in a closed basin. The sea exists primarily due to continued agricultural drainage from the Imperial, Coachella, and Mexicali valleys and smaller contributions from municipal effluent and stormwater runoff. The sea has a productive sport fishery and provides important migratory and resident bird habitat within the Pacific Flyway. The sea ecosystem is under stress from increasing salinity, nutrient loading, oxygen depletion, and temperature fluctuations that may be threatening the reproductive ability of some biota, particularly sportfish species, and also causing additional ecosystem health problems. There are indication that the deteriorating environmental conditions may be contributing to the prominence of avian disease at the sea. Without restoration, the ecosystem at the sea will continue to deteriorate. Issues of concern include water quality and quantity, salinity increase, contaminants and public health, long-term management goals, wildlife, economic development, recreation, elevation stabilization, international boundary issues, cultural and Native American issues, alternative development, timeframe for initiating solutions, project financing, and aesthetics, particularly odors and visual impacts. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would involve constructing two evaporation ponds within Salton Sea. The combined surface area would be approximately 33 square miles but would depend on the elevation of the water surface in the ponds and seasonal fluctuations. The ponds would act to concentrate the salts from the sea and to assist in stabilizing the surface elevation. Approximately 98,000 acre-feet per year (af/yr) of water would be pumped into these ponds from the sea. The ponds would be located at the south end of the sea, with one west of the mouth of the New River and the other by the Salton Sea Test Base. Alternative 2 would involve constructing an enhanced evaporation system (EES) on a site north of Bombay Beach to remove salts from Salton Sea by increasing evaporation rates through spraying. The modules would process 150,000 af/yr of seawater. This would involve constructing tower modules consisting of towers and precipitation ponds. Alternative 3 would be also construct an EES, but it would be located at the Salton Sea Test Base. Alternative 4 would combine the technology of Alternative 1 and Alternative 3 to increase the effectiveness and speed at which salts are removed from Salton Sea, but the size of the EES would be reduced to a capacity of 100,000 af/yr. Alternative 5 would combine an evaporation pond near the Salton Sea Test Base with a 150,000 af/yr EES incorporated within the pond itself. The EES would use technology typically used in artificial snowmaking. This method would utilize a series of portable, ground-based blowers that would use compressed air to spray piped seawater up into the air and into the evaporation pond, rather than dropping it from towers. Actions common to all action alternatives would include fish harvesting, improved recreational facilities, shoreline cleanup, an integrated wildlife disease program, a long-term management strategy, and a strategic science plan. Each action would have pilot projects to finalize the specifications of each and test its effectiveness. The harvesting of tilapia to reduce the internal nutrient load and fish population densities would include boat dock facilities and a processing plant, located at one of several sites along the shore, including the Salton Sea Test Base or on Torres Martinez Indian Reservation lands. The improvement of recreation facilities would include the repairing of boat ramps and access roads. Some channelization could be required to provide deeper water for boats to improve access to the sea. The shoreline cleanup program would consist of removing dead fish and other debris from the water surface and shoreline to reduce odors and nutrients. Skimmer barges would be used to retrieve floating fish. Beach cleaning equipment, involving a conveyor system that would rake the beach, would be used to maintain the shoreline. The implementation of an integrated wildlife disease program would involve multiple agencies and include field technician-level support for on-site methodological monitoring of the sea for wildlife die-offs, response assistance, biological sample collection, and scientific information compilation relative to wildlife mortality at the sea. The long-term management strategy would define activity coordination, project operational responsibilities, scientific research and monitoring responsibilities, and resource protection and management. The strategic science plan would include conceptual modeling, monitoring to evaluate the success of restoration actions, quantitative modeling, focused investigations to fill in key information gaps, technical assistance to involve time-responsive short-term needs, and data management. Other features under consideration would include the development of a north wetland habitat to enhance island and snag habitat, the development of a pupfish pond for Alternative 1 and Alternative 4, the construction of a displacement dike in the southern portion of the sea under the reduced flow scenarios, and the augmentation of inflows to the sea by using a portion of the total flood flows available from the Colorado River. Water would be exported or imported from the Sea, as appropriate, during the second phase of the plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would maintain and restore the ecological and socioeconomic values of the Salton Sea for the local and regional community and for the biota dependent on the Sea. In addition, the project would maintain the sea as a repository for agricultural drainage and restore recreational uses at the sea. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project could result in disturbance of Native American resources as well as other cultural resource sites. Dikes and other structures would impinge on the visual aesthetics of the area. Construction activities would disturb fish populations and habitat, and fugitive dust problems could arise during construction activities. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would displace desert habitat. The transportation of material from borrow sites would add to traffic volumes in the area. EES operations could result in noise impacts for sensitive receptors. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 103-575 and Salton Sea Reclamation Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-372).

Preparation date: January 21, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KING COAL HIGHWAY (STATE PROJECT X169-SHA/WN-1 03, FEDERAL PROJECT DPS-0012(013)), WILLIAMSON TO BLUEFIELD; TAZEWELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND LOGAN, MCDOWELL, MERCER, MINGO, AND WYOMING COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36418456; 7869 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 96-mile highway, to be know as the King Coal Highway, from the vicinity of Williamson to the vicinity of Bluefield, located in southwestern West Virginia, is proposed. While the project would be primarily located in West Virginia, two build alternatives extend into southwestern Virginia for approximately one mile. The route, US Route 52 (US 52), represents the primary highway system currently utilized within the study area. The route not only serves through traffic between Williamson and Bluefield, but also serves as a the main street with collector movement characteristics through several communities. The existing facility has many geometric constraints that inhibit the smooth flow of traffic, including varying lane widths, areas of reduced speed, a high percentage of no-passing zones, and steep grades. The project would provide a four-lane divided highway with partially-controlled access that would address the region's transportation demands and resolve isolation problems. The logical termini for the highway have been determined to be US 52 at the intersection of US 119 on the west and Interstate Highway 77 (I-77) at the US 52/I-77 interchange on the east. Eight alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the other six build alternatives under consideration, would also include a 4.9-mile connector road to facilitate efficient access from the facility to Williamson and to the Mingo County Airport. Interchanges and grade separations would be provided as necessary. The estimated cost of the project is $1.1 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve the movement of through traffic and local access regionally. Travel times within the corridor in the year 2020 would be decreased by nearly on half. Transportation energy consumption within the corridor would decline significantly, which would improve regional air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 277 residences, seven businesses, and 11 community facilities. The project would result in the loss of 17.44 acres of wetlands and result in a loss of 23,655 wildlife habitat units. The facility would cross 108 streams, affecting 25 miles of streams, and encroach on 71 acres of floodplain. Approximately 340 acres or prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance would be taken. The project would affect two architecturally significant structures and four cemeteries eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as well 73 other historic resource sites and traverse 37 acres land with a high probability of containing archaeological resource sites and 788 acres with a moderate probability of containing such resources. Traffic-generated noise within the corridor would violate federal and/or standards for 129 receptors. The construction activities would encounter two sites possibly containing hazardous waste.

Preparation date: January 18, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY HARBOR NAVIGATION STUDY, HUDSON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, AND KINGS AND RICHMOND COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 36406686; 7868 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of channel improvement throughout the Port of New York and New Jersey is proposed. The project area would include the South Brooklyn Marine and Red Hook container terminals, Staten Island, and adjacent areas. The channel improvements would be undertaken to meet the changing trend toward larger cargo vessels in the world fleet. Projections of the volume of commerce passing through the port over the period extending from 2010 to 2060 exceed port capacity, with or without channel improvements. Several alternatives are considered including a No Action Alternative, non-structural alternatives, and structural alternatives. The recommended plan would provide for navigation improvements affecting nine channels (Ambrose, Anchorage, Bay Ridge, Port Jersey, Kill Van Kull, Newark Bay, Elizabeth, South Elizabeth, and Arthur Kill channels), which would permit access by larger, deeper-draft vessels to four main container terminals. The improvements would consist of channel deepening, channel realignment, turning basin construction, and berth deepening. No expansion of port facilities would be directly attributable to the recommended plan. Economic forecasts project an increase in port commerce regardless of whether navigation improvements are implemented. The project would last eight to 12 years. The estimated initial cost of the project is $1.8 billion, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the depth of the existing channels in the port would allow the passage of deeper-draft vessels, ensuring the continued viability of the port in the face of a changing world fleet. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The primary adverse impact related to the project would consist of the loss of shallow water habitat. Navigation improvement would disturb existing channel habitat and change some shallow areas to deeper habitat. The recommended plan would disturb 6.26 acres of littoral zone habitat. Of this total, 3.23 acres would lie in the channel from Arthur Kill to Howland Hook, 2.72 acres adjacent to the Newark Bay Channel, 0.25 acres in the South Elizabeth Channel, and 0.06 acres in Kill Van Kull Channel. The recommended plan would disturb 42.03 acres of sublittoral zone habitat. Of this total, 12.35 acres in the Jersey Flats near the Port Jersey Channel, 1.41 acres in the Kill Van Kull Channel, 3.22 acres in the channel from Arthur Kill to Howland Hook, 7.79 acres in Newark Bay Channel, 15.84 acres in the South Elizabeth Channel, and 1.42 acres in the Elizabeth Channel. Slight increases in salinity and decreases in dissolved oxygen levels would result from channel deepening.

Preparation date: January 18, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST VIRGINIA STATE ROUTE 65, CORRIDOR G TO NAUGATUCK (FEDERAL PROJECT NUMBER STP-0065(008)EQ), MINGO COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36404929; 7867 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of West Virginia State Route 65 (WV 65) from the intersection of WV 65 and US Route 119 (US 119) near Belo westward to US 52 at Naugatuck, located in southwestern West Virginia, is proposed. The project would involve the construction of a four-lane divided highway with partial control of access. The project was considered in the early 1990s to supplement US 52 and address the deficiencies in an insufficient link, which carries a large volume of coal truck traffic, between US 119 and US 52 North. Areas of analysis include the effects on social and economic development, planned and programmed roadway improvements, highway capacity, and modal interrelationships. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives include the upgrading of the existing roadway and two relocation alternatives. The preferred alternative (Alternative A) would begin on the north side of the existing roadway where it would interchange with US 52. It then would cross over existing WV 65 east of County Road 65 (CR 65)/CR 1, and continue on the south side of Pigeon Creek for the entire 6.1-mile length of the project to an interchange with US 119. It would attempt to follow the contours of Pigeon Creek as much as possible to minimize the extent of cut required. Connector roads to existing WV 65 would be provided at Naugatuck, CR 3/CR 5 at Lenore, and CR 65/CR 11. Alternative B would begin on the north side of the existing roadway where it would interchange with US 52, remaining on the north side of the roadway for the entire 6.8-mile length of the project to the US 119 interchange. Connector roads to existing WV 65 would be provided at Naugatuck, CR 3/CR 5 at Lenore, and the Belo Connector. Alternative C (the Improve Existing WV 65 Alternative) would follow the existing alignment for the entire 6.8-mile length of the project except in areas where curves would be straightened to meet design standards. All improvements would take place on the north side of the existing 6.8-mile roadway. The existing two-lane roadway would be utilized as either the eastbound travel lanes or as an access road. Interchanges would be provided at US 52 and US 119. The estimated costs of Alternative A, Alternative B, and Alternative C are $148.9 million, $199.6 million, and $117.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgrading of WV 65 would improve the level of service for the user and increase the capacity of the WV 65. Vehicle-hours traveled on WV 65 would decline significantly as travel speeds increased. The facilities would also reduce accidents along the corridor and improve access for emergency vehicles. Only the relocation alternatives would meet the need to increase design speed of the facility to 60 miles per hour. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the preferred alternative would require the displacement of 23 residences, two businesses, and two cemeteries. It would also result in the loss of 395.0 acres of forested land, including 74.7 acres of developed land, 8.5 acres of farmland, 8.2 acres of bottomland hardwoods, 265.5 acres of mixed mesophytic vegetation, and 121.3 acres of oak-hickory stands. Running buffalo clover and Virginia spiraea, both of which are federally protected species, could be adversely affected by the project. Two bridges and five culverts would be required to traverse streams, and the facility would encroach on 24 acres of floodplain. The facility could impact one surface mine and five natural gas wells. Noise levels along the facility would exceed federal standards for 89 receptors by the design year 2020.

Preparation date: January 14, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 71, TEXARKANA TO DEQUEEN; LITTLE RIVER, MILLER, AND SEVIER COUNTIES, ARKANSAS, AND BOWIE COUNTY, TEXAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1997). AN - 36407180; 7861 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 Highway 71 (US 71) north of DeQueen in 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, were considered in the draft EIS. From the north side of Texarkana, the proposed alignments cross Interstate Highway 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 Arkansas State Highway 41 on the west. This supplemental EIS documents the two Best Few Alternative (C-10 and D-18) identified from the 18 final build alternatives in the draft EIS as well as the development of new alternatives added since the publication of the draft EIS. The currently preferred alternative identified in this supplement would involve the development of a 37.03-mile corridor through northwest Texarkana in Texas on the west side of the Northern Loop, a corridor east of the Loop 245 Park on the east side of the Northern Loop, and a crossing of the Red River west of Summerhill Lake. The facility would include 14 interchanges and 10 grade separation structures. The estimated cost of the project is $252.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion along the existing US 71, enhance economic development in northwestern Arkansas, and improve regional transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would displace 85 residences, one church, nine businesses, and two farm operations. The project would also displace 1,923 acres land, including 55.1 acres of wetlands, 42 acres of forested wetlands, 941 acres of floodplain, and 422.9 acres of forested land and the associated wildlife habitat. The facility would traverse 11 perennial streams and 20 intermittent streams, requiring 0.4 mile of channel relocations, and would traverse 19 miles of Red River floodplain. Noise levels would increase substantially in selected areas; up to 156 sensitive receptors would be adversely affected. The project would adversely affect five historic sites, eight archaeological sites, and one cemetery.

Preparation date: January 11, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER SNAKE RIVER JUVENILE SALMON MIGRATION, WASHINGTON. AN - 36407110; 7860 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to improve juvenile salmon passage in the lower Snake River in Washington is proposed. The existing hydrosystem facilities of the Lower Snake River Project are the Lower Granite, Lower Monumental, and Ice Harbor dams and reservoirs. These are multiple-use facilities providing for inland waterway navigation, hydropower generation, irrigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. Project facilities include dams and reservoirs, hydroelectric power plants, transmission lines, navigation channels and locks, juvenile and adult fish passage structures, fish hatcheries, parks and recreational facilities, lands dedicated to project operations, and areas set aside as wildlife habitat. The project was originally designed and constructed with adult passage facilities at the four dams, and juvenile passage facilities were provided shortly after the dams were constructed. Options considered over the years have included reservoir drawdown, the alteration of turbine operations, spills for juvenile salmon passage, gas abatement measures to prevent gas supersaturation lethal to salmon during runs, flow augmentation, fish hatcheries, surface bypass collectors. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue existing conditions, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would maximize the transport of juvenile salmon by continuing the existing hydrosystem operations, including all ancillary facilities such as fish hatcheries and habitat management units under the compensation plan, recreation facilities, power generation, and irrigation. This alternative would assume that the Juvenile fishway systems would be operated to maximize fish transport and that the voluntary spill would not be used to bypass fish through the spillways (except at Ice Harbor). Alternative 3 would include major system improvements by continuing the existing hydrosystem operations and maximizing the transport of juvenile salmon, but with major system improvements that could be accomplished without a drawdown. Major system improvements focused on more effective diversion of juvenile fish from the turbines would be implemented using surface bypass collectors at Lower Granite. Extended submerged bar screens would be installed at Lower Monumental. A behavioral guidance system would be installed at Lower Granite. Alternative 4 would include dam breaching and the drawdown of the four lower Snake River reservoirs (Lower Granite, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, and Ice Harbor) to restore natural river conditions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The breaching of the dams would restore the river to its natural condition, allowing juvenile salmon to pass freely up and down the river. Other action alternatives would provide for varying levels of enhanced fish passage to a lesser degree. The retention of the dams would allow their continued use for economic and recreational purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The breaching of the dams would eliminate the economic and recreational benefits provided by dam operations and degrade area aesthetics in the near-term. The erosion caused by reservoir operations would add sediment to the river basin. The falling water at river system dams would continue to contribute to dissolved gas supersaturation. The blowing dust generated by exposed reservoir sediments would add to ambient dust from other sources.

Preparation date: January 7, 2000 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JOHN T. MYERS AND GREENUP LOCKS IMPROVEMENTS, POSEY COUNTY, INDIANA, GREENUP AND UNION COUNTIES, KENTUCKY, AND SCIOTO COUNTY, OHIO. AN - 36407201; 7857 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the auxiliary chambers at Greenup Lock and Dam (L&D) and John T. Myers L&D, located in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, is proposed. Both facilities consist of a 1,200-foot main chamber lock and a 600-foot auxiliary lock chamber. The project would the auxiliary chambers by 600 feet, resulting in twin 1,200-foot locks at both locations. The Greenup L&D is located within the channel of the Ohio River 341 miles below Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and five miles below the town of Greenup, Kentucky. The lock structure lies along the Kentucky shoreline adjacent to the town of Lloyd, Kentucky. The Greenup L&D replaced L&Ds 27 through 30 on the Ohio River and L&D 1 on the Big Sandy River with two parallel locks, namely a 110-foot-by-1,200-foot main lock and a 110-foot-by-600-foot auxiliary lock. The dam is 1,287 feet long, including a 245-foot fixed weir; the remaining length is gated for managing the water level upstream of the structure. The Myers L&D is located on the Ohio River, at about river mile 846. The locks are on the Indiana side of the river. The dam extends across to the Kentucky side of the river, approximately 3.5 miles downstream of Uniontown. The Myers facility is one of 20 L&D facilities that provide navigation capability of the Ohio River. The main riverward chamber is 1,200 feet long and can handle locking the typical sized tow of 15 barges. The auxiliary landward chamber is used for smaller boats and as a backup when the main chamber is out of service for repairs or maintenance. The dam includes a ten-bay gated spillway section and a 2,239-foot overflow weir section extending to the Kentucky shore. Due to their size, the auxiliary chambers process traffic more slowly than the main chambers and backups occur even with significant notice of lock closure. As navigation traffic increases on the Ohio River, congestion due to these closures, and the resulting delays in shipping, will worsen. Shipping delays are costly to commercial navigation interests and, ultimately, to the general public. The cost of such delays may amount to $10 million or more per event at 1999 traffic levels. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (the Without-Project Condition Alternative), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the extension of the auxiliary lock at each of the facilities from its current length of 600 feet to a length of 1,200 feet. Both the middle and river walls would be lengthened to provide safe approach walls for the extended auxiliary and main chambers. The estimated first costs for the Myers and Greenup projects are $212.2 million and $240.3 million, respectively. The estimated benefit-cost ratios are 1.9 and 2.4, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded locks would alleviate commercial navigation traffic congestion on the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers. The extension of the auxiliary locks would permit the same number of tows to lock through the auxiliary system as through the main chamber. Hence, if the main chamber of either lock were closed for repairs or maintenance, navigation traffic at Greenup and Myers L&Ds would not be disrupted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in incidental soil erosion and runoff, increased turbidity, increased soil stress and damage to aquatic biota due to dewatering for the construction of a culvert, disturbance of wildlife, clearance of vegetation, damage to the river shoreline, runoff and ponding in a small wetland area adjacent to the disposal site related to the Greenup component of the project, fish kills from blasting, increased safety risks, loss of recreational opportunities near the Myers site, disturbance of mowed grassland and prairie, disturbance of five acres of riparian forest, loss of habitat values for waterfowl. The project would also result in lowered visual quality at the project sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1909.
