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.

In the context of PVST, empirically controlled strategies in time are rather common, where the Newton convergence is attempted for a possibly large step size. This technique is known as the target-based full Newton (TBFN) time stepping strategy. In comparison to adaptive techniques satisfying a predefined discretization error, the TBFN results can be inaccurate in spite of the convergence achieved in the Newton method. The present paper aims to analyse the cause of discrepancies in simulating unsaturated flows. This is done by comparison of analytical solutions which are based on exponential constitutive laws.

We discuss two approaches in modelling the combined system. When using finite element simulators the holistic approach provides a direct treatment in a single matrix system. The decomposed approach handles the subprocesses separately and connects them via boundary conditions. We emphasise the importance of embedding the lake in a groundwater body of appropriate spatial dimensions. By studying the representation of a lake in one-dimensional, two-dimensional (2-D) vertical and horizontal, and three-dimensional (3-D) confined flow models we assess the systematic error of the lake's filling dynamics. We show that for long-term predictions of the water table rise in a mine the error becomes intolerable in 2-D regional models.

Pollutants could potentially be released into the water column during disposal and/or leached into the water column from bottom sediments placed in the pits before being capped. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and sediment oxygen demand (SOD) associated with freshly dredged and disposed sediments were based on laboratory measurements of dredged material taken from NY-NJ harbor/estuary dredging sites. The CE-QUAL-ICM water quality model was linked to the CH3D-WES hydrodynamic model and applied to an inset grid of the Harbor Apex Model (HAM) for the Lower New York Bay, which encompassed areas under consideration for CAD pits. This paper describes the laboratory measurement methods and results for BOD and SOD, the modeling approach, and example results. JF - Estuarine and Coastal Modeling. Proceedings of the ...

Conventional analyses indicate the dam is unstable at pools approaching the probable maximum flood. Measurements of uplift pressures acting on the base of the dam at elevated pools are not available because 1) the dam has been operated at pool elevations significantly less than those used in design and 2) storms of record have not approached design levels. Numerical modeling was selected to aid in the extrapolation of uplift pressures operable at design pool levels. A preliminary modeling effort was undertaken using the distinct element program UDEC. The preliminary modeling effort had three primary objectives: 1) develop an approach for emulating drain performance and incorporating this within the numerical model, 2) determine the geometric and material parameters that have the greatest influence on uplift pressures for development of an efficient subsurface investigation program; and 3) assess whether numerical modeling can provide reliable information for use in the design process. The scope of this paper includes the parametric study and describes the developed exploration program. The reader is referred to a companion paper published in the 1999 ASDSO Dam Safety Proceedings, St. Louis, Missouri for descriptions of the developed drain model and related uplift pressure distributions.

Higher velocities at the inside of the helix compared to the outside leads to spreading that is balanced by transverse pore-scale dispersion. The angular moments of the concentration distribution exhibit the typical behavior of Taylor-Aris dispersion in which the rate of change of the second central moment is inversely proportional to pore-scale transverse dispersion. We derive analytical expressions for the angular macrodispersion coefficient at the large-time limit. We propose a method in which macrodispersion is measured in a helix filled with the porous material of interest in order to infer pore-scale transverse dispersivity values that are difficult to determine with existing methods.

The seasonal pattern of suspended sediment transport for meltstreams shows large sediment pulses early in the ablation season, followed by more subdued variations in sediment flux late in the ablation season. We believe the pulses result mainly from rapid expansion of the developing subglacial drainage system into areas of the glacier subsole where fine products of glacial abrasion are stored. The suspended sediment record also shows that sediment pulses at different vents are generally not in phase and may be due to sudden localized expansion of the subglacial drainage system. Total suspended sediment flux for the Matanuska Glacier during 1998 and 1999 was 1.14X10 (super 9) kg and 1.44X10 (super 9) kg, respectively. Assuming minimal contribution from bedload these fluxes represent an annual glacier erosion rate of 1.17 mm for 1998 and 1.45 mm for 1999. These rates are substantially less than rates published for glaciers in southeastern Alaska but are comparable to rates published for glacier in the Alps and central Asia.

N1 - Date revised - 2003-01-01 N1 - Number of references - 3 N1 - Last updated - 2012-06-07 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Rock mass characterization; joints and weathering in granite AN - 51886445; 2004-014935 AB - Rock mass classifications, such as Q or RMR, typically address rock properties, including weathering and jointing, in terms of ranges of values, and classification is accomplished by combining the ranges for all properties to produce one value. This value is then assigned to a range with which a qualitative term such as poor or fair is associated. Weathering classifications, on the other hand, typically describe the appearance and condition of the weathered material and its components, and the degree of staining on joint surfaces or the distance staining extends into the rock. The rock mass is separated into weathering grades based on these criteria; joint properties may or may not be included. Neither type of classification addresses changes in the joints as weathering progresses, yet most published work on engineering geology and rock mechanics states that jointing is the most important rock mass property. Recent work in granites has shown that there are significant changes in vertical joint spacing and length as weathering increases. Joint spacing is wide in fresh granite, becomes very close in moderately weathered granite, then progressively widens in highly and completely weathered granite. Joints thus seem to appear, then disappear, as weathering increases. Joint lengths become longer from fresh granite through moderately weathered granite, then become appreciably shorter through completely weathered granite. Joints thus seem to grow, then shrink, as weathering progresses. These effects are surficial (i.e., typically extending no more than 1 m into the rock mass) and result primarily from increased micro-cracking due to weathering and thermal and moisture effects, but the implications of these phenomena are significant: they could result in inaccurate estimates of joint properties and inaccurate rock mass classification which in turn effect could effect engineering design.

S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to deepen the Wilmington ship channel between mile -6.7 in Long Bay (terminus of a realigned Bald Head Shoals channel) and mile 2.9 (Cape Fear River) to -44.0 mean low low water (MLLW), -45.0' where rock is encountered, and between mile 2.9 and mile 27.2 (at Wilmington on the Cape Fear River) to -42.0' (MLLW), -43.0' where rock is encountered. To provide information on the engineering and potential environmental problems along the Wilmington ship channel, over 200, 2' (NW) and 4' (4'X5 1/2') core holes were drilled and almost 250 miles of seismic "boomer" data collected. Examination of the data indicates that the lithostratigraphy controls the occurrence of rock, while induration is often related to sediment type and unconformity occurrence. Unconformities are often irregular and where they dip below the design elevation, softer material is normally encountered within the dredge prism. In addition, joint frequency, rock thickness, and compressive strength determine the intended channel deepening method. Where thick, well-lithified, dense limestone of the Rocky Point Member of the Cretaceous Peedee Formation, the Paleocene Bald Head Shoals Formation, and the Eocene Castle Hayne Limestone subcrop the river, rock elevations in the river channel are high. In these areas, contractors may choose to drill and blast to deepen the channel; however, this method has greater potential to damage the environment. Where unlithified sand of the Peedee Formation, the Island Creek Member of the Peedee Formation, the Paleocene Yaupon Beach Formation and the Oligocene River Bend Formation occur along the river, rock elevations are low. In these areas, rock-cutter-head type dredge, dipper dredge, hydraulic hammer or pick can be used to achieve deepening to the permitted depth. These techniques mitigate damage to the environment as compared to blasting.Geologic/geotechnical investigations are important in understanding the most economic methods of channel improvement with the least environmental impact.

Water level and current were measured at six locations spanning the ebb shoal, inlet, and bay channels. Measurements revealed that the inlet was flood dominated during the data-collection period. The flood dominance may have been enhanced by a net influx of water during the measurement period, which was captured at two measurement stations in the bay channels located 5 km away from the inlet. Scour, erosion, and sedimentation are problems faced at Ponce Inlet, and calculations suggest tide-related circulation patterns contribute to problematic hot spots. Scour along the north jetty may be most active on the ebb tide, when the strongest flows oriented parallel to the jetty are present. Erosion on the north interior spit owes to a bend in the inlet that forces the strong flood current to impinge on the spit shoreline. Progradation of the south spit into the inlet is a product of the curvature of the spit that creates a region of relatively weak current in the southern portion of the inlet. Deposition may therefore occur on both flood and ebb tidal cycles. Tidal attenuation was calculated along a 7 km transect from the ebb shoal, through the inlet, and south along the Indian River North. Attenuation of the M (sub 2) tide (water level) was estimated to be 1.1 cm/km along the unimpeded reach of the transect extending south from the ebb shoal to just north of a bridge. At the bridge, the attenuation was increased to 55 cm/km, a decay that is 50 times greater than in the unimpeded channel. The bridge was found to contribute to 56% of the tidal-amplitude reduction between the ebb shoal and the bridge.

The study of cohesive soils behavior during and immediately after cyclic loading is especially difficult because of their structure variability and the major influence of structural characteristics on dynamic properties, which makes testing of reconstituted samples of little interest in evaluation of natural deposits. There are several categories of cohesive soils potentially liquefiable, which are considered in this paper: clayey silts or silty clays of low plasticity meeting the "Chinese Criteria"; highly sensitive clays; collapsible loess. Data from literature for better understanding of their susceptibility to liquefaction (triggering, post-cyclic strength) are summarized.

Recently completed field tests have demonstrated that frequency domain sensors, such as Geophex Ltd's GEM-3, can reliably separate UXO targets from clutter objects based on their complex broadband EM signatures. These field tests have also identified a number of areas where improvements are needed before this technology is transitioned to full-scale UXO cleanup applications. This paper describes our progress in addressing these needs, including (a) improving our understanding of the GEM-3 phenomenology, (b) the development and validation of physics-based analytical and numerical models of UXO target responses, and (c) the development of improved multifrequency EM sensor prototypes. Recent enhancements to our multifrequency EM data collection, visualization, and analysis systems are described.

Data acquired with the HM3 (super TM) system in June 1999 at the Badlands Bombing Range (BBR) in South Dakota indicate sensitivity to ordnance and buried metals that have a mass of less than 10 kg. This is significantly better than was observed in an earlier test with the HM3 (super TM) system at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) in California (Doll et. al., 1999). This paper presents an overview of the project and initial results. Data were acquired in six areas at BBR. These included two trench areas, two bombing targets, a controlled test site, and an undiscovered bombing target. The first two bombing targets had previously been surveyed with the MTADS system (McDonald and Robertson, 1996). The third bombing target was discovered in the course of a blind survey of a "clean" part of the range. The controlled test site consisted of 24 holes in which deactivated ordnance, fragments of ordnance, simulants, plumbing pipes, and known metallic objects (e.g. segments of reinforcing rods and I-beams) were placed at depths ranging from 0 to 1 m. The smallest objects at the test site were approximately 5 kg. The improved sensitivity at BBR is attributed to: 1) higher data sampling rates, 2) elimination of a low pass filter that was used at EAFB, 3) improved techniques for removal of geologic noise, 4) lower instrument altitude in flatter terrain, and 5) more favorable geologic background conditions. These results indicate that airborne magnetic methods are an appropriate tool for detection of ordnance, and for screening or characterizing large areas of suspected contamination. This is particularly true at sites where low survey altitudes are possible, background geologic response is low, and expected target size is within range.

RDX is one of the two high-explosive compounds used by the U.S. military (Davis 1998) and classified as a priority pollutant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Millions of acres of land on military installations, as well as manufacturing, storage, and disposal sites, have been contaminated with RDX (Jenkins 1989). Therefore, environmental risk assessments (ERAs) are conducted to determine the potential environmental impacts of RDX on receptors. Research on the environmental impacts of RDX on terrestrial plants is needed to facilitate filling data gaps and decrease the level of uncertainty and costs associated with ERAs on RDX.

AN - 17877244; 5119083 AB - We have tested the ability of a 1.12-1.76 GHz bandwidth airborne Frequency Modulation-Continuous Wave (FM-CW) radar with an effective pulse duration of 3 ns to penetrate temperate ice of the ablation zone of Black Rapids Glacier, central Alaska, U.S.A. We used high-gain horn antennas to suppress clutter, and tested over cold and nearly ideal surface conditions. Englacial horizons dipping to at least 60 m depth were found along three sections of one axial profile. More narrow-band (1.21-1.29 GHz), low-resolution (24 ns pulse duration) profiles from a fourth section detected events at about 100-150 m depth. Comparative profiles recorded with a 100 MHz short-pulse-type radar reproduce the horizons of two of the sections, and verify the penetration in all cases. All horizons are composed of diffractions. We interpret voids from the phase of the 100 MHz diffractions within one of the horizons. The diffraction nature of the horizons, the void interpretation and the proximity to a nearby and up-glacier pothole field lead us to conclude that the horizons within two of the sections are meandering drainage channels. A more complex, branching structure with near-surface horizons profiled within the third section much farther down-glacier may also be a complex drainage system fed by near-surface melting. The FM-CW signal-to-clutter-noise ratios of some of the targets predict that they could be detected at 200 m depth in the 1-2 GHz range. Significant performance improvements at maximum vertical resolution could be achieved with higher-gain antennas.

The data were collected on a 100 m by 340 m array grid in the upper stem of Gulkana Glacier, central Alaska, U.S.A. The array processing was based on a modified three-dimensional (3-D) Kirchhoff migration integral and implemented with a synthetic-aperture approach that uses sequences of overlapping sub-arrays to generate depth images in vertical planes. Typical sub-array beam patterns are generally <5 degree at the -6 dB level, giving a flashlight-like searching capability without distorting the wavelet shape. The bed topography was constructed using normal reflections picked from 3-D array depth images. In some instances reflections were imaged outside the data-coverage area. The bed surface dips steeply, both parallel and transverse to the direction of ice flow. The maximum observed depth is roughly 140 m. The 3-D method resolved bed dips up to 45 degree . In regions of steepest dip, it improved depth accuracy by 36% compared with raw data, and by 15% compared with standard two-dimensional (2-D) migration. Over 12 dB of signal-to-noise improvement and improved spatial resolution was achieved compared to raw data and 2-D migration. False bottom layering seen in the raw data and in 2-D migrations is not observed in the 3-D array results. Furthermore, loss of bottom reflections is shown by the 3-D migration to be attributable to the dip and curvature of the reflector, and not scattering losses or signal clutter from englacial inclusions.

Although P. crispus is reported to be highly susceptible to contact herbicides, treatments are usually conducted late in the growing season after turion formation has occurred. These turions are the major source of reinfestation the following spring, and treatment strategies to prevent their production would require applications at water temperatures which are generally thought to inhibit herbicide efficacy. Herbicide treatments were applied to 50-L aquaria containing curlyleaf pondweed growing at water temperatures of 10, 12.5, 15, 20, and 25C. Both diquat and endothall efficacy was inhibited as water temperature decreased; however, treatments at all temperatures significantly reduced biomass and turion formation. Although treatments conducted at 25C were the most efficacious, waiting until the water warms to this temperature limits the potential for reducing turion production. Endothall treatment of small plots in a pond infested with curlyleaf pondweed demonstrated that a late March treatment (18C water) reduced turion densities by 86%, whereas a mid-May treatment (25C water) reduced turions by 40% compared to untreated plots. Based on results of this study, it is recommended that early spring and fall treatment strategies are tested to determine if curlyleaf pondweed can be more effectively managed on a long-term basis by reducing turion populations.

Royle). Hydrilla coverage was reduced from a high of 17,272 ha during 1994 to a few ha by 1998. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, at least 98 triploid grass carp were collected yearly for population monitoring. Estimates of age, growth, and mortality, as well as population models, were used in the study to monitor triploid grass carp and predict population trends. Condition declined from that measured during a previous study in 1994. The annual mortality rate was estimated at 28% in 1997, 32% in 1998 and 39% in 1999; however, only the 1999 mortality rate was significantly different. Few (2 out of 98) of the triploid grass carp collected during 1999 were older than age 9. We expect increased mortality due to an aging population and sparse hydrilla coverage. During 1999, we estimated about 63,000 triploid grass carp system wide and project less than 3,000 fish by 2004, assuming no future stocking.

Schott), is an exotic, emergent perennial that has established in many shallow-water wetlands throughout the southern United States. Although wild taro is a cultivated crop in many tropical and subtropical areas of the world, its invasion in riverine and lacustrine wetlands in the U.S. has resulted in the loss of habitat for native plant species. Once established, wild taro forms dense, monotypic stands that reduce the diversity of native vegetation, as has occurred in Louisiana, Florida, and Texas (Akridge and Fonteyn 1981, Simberloff et al. 1997). Akridge and Fonteyn (1981) reported that although wild taro is considered naturalized in south-central Texas, its present dominance along the San Marcos River has altered the native vegetational structure and dynamics of this river system. One of the concerns for using herbicides to remove wild taro, and thereby restore the native emergent plant community at this site, is the potential impact of chemical treatment to neighboring stands of Texas wild rice (Zizania texana Hitchc.), a federally listed endangered plant that grows exclusively in the San Marcos River. Restoration and preservation of native plant communities in conjunction with chemical management practices are achievable goals. Recent research on the use of herbicides to selectively control nuisance, exotic species has demonstrated that aquatic herbicides can be safely used to remove a target species with minimal harm to non-target communities (Getsinger et al. 1997, Netherland et al. 1997, Petty et al. 1998). Little information is available on the use of currently labeled aquatic herbicides for control of nuisance populations of wild taro. Moreover, the non-target effects of herbicide application on Texas wild rice are also unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of four aquatic herbicides for control of wild taro.

When I was younger (and more patient), I would explain many of the available options. After a few years, I realized that the major obstacles to effective management of aquatic plants were sociological rather than scientific. In most instances, a motivated resource management group (whether it be a lake association or a local, regional, state, or federal agency) could use a half-dozen of the available options to manage aquatic plants in their lake. The limitations to effective management are time, patience, and funds, not the lack of an effective management tool. All aquatic plant management techniques have positive and negative attributes. None of the techniques is without some adverse environmental impact; all have both strengths and weaknesses. In selecting management techniques, selections need to be based on economic, environmental, and technical constraints. Management decisions should be made on a site-specific basis. Management techniques should be considered on their technical merits. A truly integrated aquatic plant management approach will vary the use of techniques both spatially and temporally. Spatial variation in technique selection should be based on site use intensity, economic, environmental, and technical constraints.

These properties were formerly owned by, leased by, possessed by, or otherwise under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Defense or military components that predate DOD, but are no longer operated by DOD. The FUDS program has over 9,000 potential properties and an annual budget in fiscal year 2000 of $238 million. FUDS are located in all states and territories of the United States and have a direct impact on many citizens. The Army is the executive agent for the program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages and executes the program. Cleanup at FUDS is similar to that at active DOD facilities, but FUDS is a "different animal." This is what makes the cleanup in the twenty-first century challenging and complex. The article discusses the current and future external factors that affect the cleanup process at FUDS.

For flood tide, the planform geometry of parallel inlet jetties appears to be a major factor influencing the flood flow distribution across the inlet channel. Equal-length jetties tend to direct the majority of the flood flow down the middle of the channel, but if the jetties have unequal seaward lengths, the flow is directed to one side of the channel. This asymmetric flow pattern may cause scouring adjacent to the toe of the longer jetty and shoaling on the opposite side of the channel, forcing navigation away from the channel centerline. This paper presents measurements acquired at Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, New York, that support the existence of jet-like flood flows predicted to be induced by offset jetties.

As part of the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative, the Agency is developing reuse design guides that provide technical information related to the design of remedies that safely support reuse. The design guides focus on the reuse of containment sites, and address such topics as settlement, gas control, irrigation, drainage, and operation and maintenance. Case studies of redeveloped sites are also presented in the guides. EPA is currently developing design guides that address the reuse of Superfund sites for commercial purposes, wildlife areas, parking lots, recreational sports fields, and golf courses. This article provides information on the first guide in the series-the reuse of Superfund sites for recreational purposes. Abstract Copyright (2000), Wiley Periodicals, Inc., A Wiley Company.

AN - 36407680; 7750 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading to interstate standards of 16.4 miles of US Route 71 (US 71), from the McKisc Creek interchange south of Bella Vista in northwestern Arkansas to Missouri Route H southwest of Pineville in southwestern Missouri, is proposed. Within the project area, the US 71 roadway consists of a rural two-lane highway with stabilized shoulders and partially-limited access control. The freeway section around Bentonville consists of a four-lane roadway with a grassy, depressed median. At the Missouri state line, the highway transitions to a four-lane divided highway. In 1991, Congress identified the existing US 71 corridor extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana, as a high-priority corridor. In response, Arkansas and Missouri have undertaken projects to upgrade portions of US 71. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (the Far West Alternative) would involve the construction of the roadway on a new alignment in predominantly rural areas three to five miles west of the existing highway, thereby eliminating the safety hazard of mixing the local, elderly traffic with the higher-speed through traffic. The estimated construction cost of the project is $174.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion along the existing US 71, improve traffic safety by upgrading current design deficiencies and separating through and local traffic, and enhance economic development in the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 15 residences, four mobile homes, and two businesses. The project would also displace approximately 52.8 acres (21.4 hectares) of prime farmland and approximately 137.5 acres (55.7 hectares) of statewide important farmland, as well as approximately 1,001.8 acres (405.6 hectares) of forest, woodlot, and pasture. Some of the 27 architectural sites in the project area would be adversely affected. The highway would cross 12 streams, eight by bridge and four by culvert, and encroach on approximately 38.8 acres (15.7 hectares) of floodplain. Noise levels would increase substantially for 58 receptors.

AN - 16340808; 7748 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Woodrow Wilson bridge crossing the Potomac River, a project that would affect the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland, is proposed. The Interstate Highway 95 (I-95) corridor, in addition to being the major north-south corridor from Florida to Maine in the Washington, District of Columbia, area, serves as the eastern half of the Capital Beltway (Beltway). The existing bridge is 90 feet wide and approximately 5,900 feet long. It has a 222-foot drawspan, with a 50-foot vertical clearance over the river's navigation channel in the closed portion. Maryland maintains the bridge, Virginia furnishes all the electric power and water service, and the District of Columbia operates the drawspan and maintains the machinery. The bridge was designed to carry 75,000 vehicles per day. The intense land development and increased travel demand in the Washington metropolitan area since the bridge opened has resulted in current daily traffic counts averaging 160,000 vehicles. The study corridor for the currently proposed project extends from Telegraph Road in Virginia to Maryland Route 210 (MD 210), also called Indian Head Highway, in Maryland. The first draft supplement (issued in January 1996) to the draft EIS of August 1991 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 new 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 to the draft EIS considered modified versions of Alternative 3A and Alternative 4A. Both revisions would involve changing the new bridge from a moveable-span structure with a 71-foot clearance over the navigational channel to a fixed bridge with a 135-foot clearance. This draft supplement to the final EIS of September 1997 addresses design changes associated with the bridge and the four adjacent interchanges in the selected alternative (final EIS Alternative 4A) based on litigation initiated by the City of Alexandria, Virginia. The Current Design Alternative 4A would require project extensions to the west, along the westbound lanes to the Beltway, and to the south, along Telegraph Road. A direct connection loop ramp from northbound US Route 1 (US 1) to the westbound Beltway would replace left turn access to the previously designed ramp. This revised configuration would carry the ramp further to the east than previously anticipated. The northern limit of work on I-295 would be extended further north to include the widening of I-295 and meet the ramp reconstruction at the I-295/Laboratory Road interchange. South of the Beltway, modifications to the I-295 interchange are also included. The MD 210 interchange would require design requirements, such as lane tapers and mainline roadway transitions to meet the existing Beltway. 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 selected 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 parkland on four public parks. Wetlands and floodplains associated with the Potomac River would be adversely affected under all of the alternatives. Two threatened and endangered species could be aversely affected. Numerous sensitive receptors would be subject to noise levels in excess of federal standards, including 636 dwelling units. The preferred alternative would adversely affect three properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places and three archeological sites.

Preparation date: December 28, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APPROVAL OF LAND USE AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES IN SUPPORT OF REAL PROPERTY MASTER PLANNING, FORT HUACHUCA, COCHISE COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 16351806; 7741 AB - PURPOSE: The updating of three of the four components of the Real Property Master Plan (RPMP) for Fort Huachuca, located in southern Arizona, is proposed. Fort Huachuca is located on 73,272 acres of land on the western fringe of the San Pedro River Valley, 75 miles southeast of Tucson and eight miles north of the Mexican border. Under the management of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, the fort's primary missions are: the research, development, testing, and evaluation of concepts, doctrine, materials, and equipment in the areas of intelligence, electronic warfare, and information systems; the development, execution, and evaluation of training in intelligence, electronic warfare, and information systems; the provision of trained operational forces in the areas of intelligence and communications; the performance of aviation operations; and the provision of training opportunities for active duty, Reserve, and National Guard forces. The fort also supports outdoor recreational activities. The fort is divided into an East Reservation (27,215 acres) and a West Reservation (46,057 acres), separated by Arizona Highway 90. The reservations are classified generally as either open/operational or build-up areas and further classified as training ranges or cantonment areas. Open/operational areas are used as training ranges and test ranges and comprise 68,002 acres of approximately 93 percent of the installation. Active and reserve units of all services use the training areas primarily for mountain/desert training, escape and evasion training, brigade-size field training, and maneuver exercises. Lands surrounding the fort are directly affected land use restrictions imposed by Cochise County, Santa Cruz County, and the City of Sierra Vista. A large portion of the land adjacent to the installation falls under the land use controls for the Bureau of Land management and the U.S. Forest Service. The three RPMP components under consideration are the long-range component, the short-range component, and the capital investment strategy. The fourth component, the mobilization component, does not require updating and was not evaluated. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve adopting all three update component proposals. The RPMP updates reflect facilities support required for anticipated changes in the testing, training, and operational activities performed at the fort. These changes are documented in official planning guidance, such as the Army Plan, Force Structure Component System, Army Modernization Memorandum and Army Stationing and Installation Plan. As a planning tool, the proposed action provides the first major step in providing facilities for the continued support of programs, policies, and activities. The documents associated with the Proposed Action address facilities construction requirements and siting criteria to support operational activities and may result in changes to land use, facilities, and infrastructure. Individual facilities improvement projects, testing and training activities potentially affecting the environment and other operational changes have been or will be analyzed via individual or future documentation tiered from this programmatic EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The approval of the three component updates would allow the fort to establish a framework for managing the limited financial and real property resources at hand and ensure installation management which was compatible with local community development. Minor indirect benefits would redound to land use and personnel safety due to correction of land use incompatibilities within the cantonment area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, funding may not be available for lower priority projects and activities as some other Department of Defense facilities.

AN - 36412696; 7735 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and redevelopment of 440 acres of land and 236 acres of submerged land made available by the closure of the U.S. Army's Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (MOTBY), located in the city of Bayonne in northeastern New Jersey, are proposed. The MOTBY is located on the Upper New York Bay approximately three miles southeast of Newark and seven miles from midtown Manhattan. The installation lies on a 0.33-mile-wide man-made peninsula that extends approximately two miles into the bay and also holds rights over 236 acres of adjacent submerged lands. The Navy operated the site from 1941 to 1967, when title to the land was transferred to the Army. The site has served as a major terminal for movement of military cargo since World War II. The Army plans to cease operations at MOTBY by September 30, 1999. The closure of the property is required by law by no later than July 13, 2001. The methods available to the Army for disposal include transfer to another federal agency, public benefit discount conveyance, economic development conveyance, negotiated sale, and competitive sale. Issues addressed in assessing the impacts of the alternatives include those associated with land use and maritime and airspace considerations, climate, air quality, noise, geology, water resources, infrastructure, hazardous and toxic substances, permits and regulatory authorities, biological resources, cultural resources, economic development, social environment, quality of life, and installation agreements. In addition to a No Action Alternative, two disposal alternatives (encumbered and unencumbered disposal) and three reuse alternatives (medium-intensity, medium-low-intensity, and low-intensity reuse) are considered in this final EIS. The Army's preferred alternative is encumbered disposal. Encumbrances could apply to asbestos-containing materials, easements and rights-of-way, floodplains, land use restrictions, lead-based paints, remedial activities, wetlands, and coastal zone management. The Army expressed no preference with respect to reuse scenarios since that decision would be made by others. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The disposal of the site would provide for its redevelopment to the social and economic benefit of area residents and workers. Encumbered disposal would ensure the protection of important environmental resources at the site following disposal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal could restrict the reuse of the site, creating both short- and long-term impacts. The development of the disposed tract under the medium-intensity scenario could result in increase in vehicular traffic in the area and place stress on parking resources and could involve long-term problems due to the presence of hazardous and toxic substances on the site.

Preparation date: December 17, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRES RIOS FEASIBILITY STUDY PROJECT, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36409305; 7729 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a fish and wildlife management, recreation, water supply, and flood control plan for the Tres Rios area of the Agua Fria, Gila, and Salt rivers, located nine miles west of the city 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. Specific planning objectives include restoring and creating conditions for sustainable riparian habitat in and around the Tres Rios area, creating a complete and diverse riparian system similar to the natural riparian habitat typical of this area, reducing damages to the Holly Acres community, surrounding development, and agricultural areas, and increasing environmental education and passive recreation opportunities incidental to the restoration effort. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 6), are considered in this draft 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 four riparian corridors west of El Mirage Road and then into four open water/marsh areas between El Mirage Road and Agua Fria River, These open water/marsh areas would be supplied with water from the riparian corridors immediately upslope along the banks, natural water flow from the river, and groundwater. Also, the channel would also be graded to convey surface water to supply two cottonwood-willow corridors between 111th Avenue and El Mirage Road. Further, water from dewatering wells would be conveyed into an existing impoundment of water just east of 83rd Avenue and would then be conveyed 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. The estimated annual costs, computed for a 50-year period, are $8.6 million, including annual restoration costs of $8.3 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio of the flood control aspects is 2.66. The preferred alternative would also provide restoration benefits of 623 average annual habitat units, resulting in an average annual cost per habitat unit of $13,342. 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: The construction activities would result in turbidity in the affected rivers, the disruption of recreational activities and traffic flow, the potential disturbance or loss of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, emissions of air pollutants and noise, and the degradation of area aesthetics. These impacts would be confined to the construction period.

Preparation date: December 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST CORRIDOR MULTI-MODAL PROJECT, DENVER METROPOLITAN AREA; ARAPAHOE, DENVER, AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 16350750; 7731 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of two interstate highways and the addition of a light rail transit line, including 13 stations, located in the Southeast Corridor of the metropolitan Denver area in north-central Colorado, are proposed. The Southeast Corridor is the most heavily congested corridor, on a daily basis, in the state. The corridor follows Interstate Highway 25 (I-25), the only north-south freeway in the state, and I-225, which provides access to I-70, the region's major east-west freeway. The Southeast Corridor connects the two largest employment centers in the region, the Denver Central Business District and the Sough East Business District. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would involve improvements to I-25 and I-225 consisting of one additional lane in each direction on I-25 from Logan to I-225, two additional lanes in each direction on I-25 from I-225 to C-470/E-470 and one additional lane in each direction on I-225 from I-25 to Parker Road. The improvements would also include a collector/distributor roadway generally between Broadway and Emerson Street and between Evans Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, as well as the replacement of existing acceleration/deceleration lanes, the provision of new acceleration/deceleration lanes to fill in current gaps, and widened paved shoulders throughout the project where feasible. Eight interchanges would be reconstructed and 11 bridges replaced. Drainage upgrades would be implemented to improve the deteriorating and undersized drainage system. Transportation demand management and intelligent transportation system elements would be incorporated into the project design. The preferred alternative also includes 17.9 miles of double-tracked light rail transit (LRT), beginning at the existing Broadway Station and ending at Lincoln Avenue, on the west side of I-25. LRT would also be constructed within four miles of median along I-225 from I-25 to the existing Nine Mile Park-and-Ride. The LRT system would include 14 stations. Additional LRT stations are under consideration. The estimated capital cost of the project is $1.5 billion, and the estimated annual operation costs in the year 2020 are $233.21 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Highway and transit travel times would be lessened by an average of 11 minutes and 32 minutes, respectively. Safety on the improved freeway segments would be substantially enhanced. Transit travel time would be 20 minutes less than highway travel time in the year 2020, encouraging commuters to use transit services and, thereby, improving air quality within the corridor. Vehicle miles of travel would decrease on the arterial and collector road system within the corridor, and transportation delays on the freeway would decline by over 30 percent. Improvement of the drainage system would decrease flooding of the highway. Approximately 23,980 new jobs would be created in the construction industry and related industries, resulting in a $645 million increase in regional wage earnings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the rights-of-way requirements would displace six single-family residents, one duplex, 112 units in three multi- family buildings, and 26 commercial buildings, including buildings with multiple tenants. Approximately 3.45 acres of wetlands would be permanently affected. Two historic properties would be adversely affected, and limited property acquisitions would be required from three parks and four historic sites. Construction activities could encounter up to 41 hazardous waste sites. Unless noise abatement was provided, noise in the corridor would increase though, with abatement, noise levels would be expected to decrease.

Preparation date: December 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED PLAN FOR FLOOD CONTROL, LOWER MISSION CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, SANTA BARBARA, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16350310; 7730 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project on Lower Mission Creek, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The Mission Creek drainage area is located in and adjoining the city of Santa Barbara, approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The study area is limited to the final 1.2 miles of the creek, beginning just downstream of Canon Perdido Street to Cabrillo Boulevard bridge at the tidal estuary before the creek reaches the Pacific Ocean. The city of Santa Barbara has experiences approximately 20 damaging floods since 1900. Urbanization over the course of the 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 draft EIS. Each action alternative would increase channel capacity to 3,400 cubic feet per second and would provide protection against a 20-year flood event. Channel improvements would take place over the lower mile of the creek between the Canon Perdido Street Bridge at the upstream end and the Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge near the outlet. Alternative 12 (the National Economic Development and tentatively selected plan) would include maintaining the natural creek bottom, replacing five bridges (including those carrying Ortega Street, Cota Street, De La Vina Street, Chapala Street, and Mason Street), 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. Future maintenance would be an integral part of the project design. The project design would incorporate the planting of vegetation along the upper banks, within vacated land parcels, and the construction of 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 project construction as fill material. 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 Highway 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 Highway 101. The project would be completed over a two-year period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 12 would provide maximum incidental environmental benefits as well as flood control and recreational benefits. In general, the plan would be environmentally superior to other alternatives considered. 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 construction. Eleven historically significant structures would be adversely affected.

AN - 36416051; 7723 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to mitigate shoreline erosion problems at Long Beach Island, located in eastern New Jersey, is proposed. The study evaluates existing conditions and shoreline erosion problems between Barnegat Inlet and Little Egg Inlet. Shoreline erosion has left the structures and infrastructure along this stretch of the Atlantic Coast vulnerable to storm damage. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The selected plan would involve berm and dune restoration utilizing sand obtained from offshore borrow sources. Project activities would provide a dune at an elevation of 22 feet NAVD, with a 30-foot crest width and a berm with of 125 feet from the centerline of the dune. The plan would require 4.95 million cubic yards of sand for initial berm placement and 2.45 million cubic yards for dune restoration. An additional 1.9 million cubic yards would be needed every seven years over the 50-year analysis period. The berm and dune restoration would extend from groin 4 (Seaview Drive, Loveladies) to the terminal groin (groin 98) in Holgate, Long Beach Township, a distance of approximately 17 miles. The Barnegat Light area, at the north end of the study area, would not be included in the initial placement of sand due to low background erosion and ample shoreline protection. The Barnegat Light area is being considered as a sand source. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authorities have stated that they do not consider beach nourishment in line with the intervention plan in place for the Holgate Unit of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge; hence, the Holgate Unit, which lies at the southern end of the study area, would not be included in the nourishment plan. The estimated initial cost of the project is $50.1 million. The estimated ultimate project cost, including costs for periodic nourishment, is $156.6 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.84. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would prevent beach erosion, providing a recreational resources as well as protecting structures and public infrastructure in the study area. Annual benefits would be worth $10.6 million. The berm and dune restoration could increase nesting and beach habitat and enhance the backshore environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Greater due heights could necessitate covering existing dune grasses. Benthic habitat at the borrow site would be destroyed. The dunes could cause some inconvenience to residents.

Preparation date: December 10, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EVERETT-TO-SEATTLE COMMUTER RAIL PROJECT, KING AND SNOHOMISH COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36405706; 7722 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Sounder commuter rail system along a 35-mile corridor between Everett and Seattle, located in western Washington, is proposed. The project is a component of the Sound Move plan, a 10-year plan for regional high-capacity transportation adopted by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) in 1996. Traffic delays in the central Puget Sound region consistently rate among the worst in the county. The population in the region is expected to grow from 2.2 million to 2.3 million over the next 25 years. The rail system would be located within existing Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company rights-of-way. The Sounder line would connect the Seattle-to-Tacoma Sounder commuter rail service and the Link central light rail transit line between North Seattle and SeaTac, at King Street Station in downtown Seattle. The commuter rail service would consist of six trains during each peak commuting period (6:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 to 7:00 P.M.), for a total of 12 trains per day. At least two of the trains during each peak period would continue through King Street Station to Tacoma, thus providing service between Everett and Tacoma on the same train. One or two reverse-commute trips would occur during each commute period. Occasionally, special train service would be made available if demand existed. Operating the commuter service in this busy freight corridor would require improvements to the existing railroad rights-of-way and the installation of operational facilities. The improvements would include additional sidings (passing tracks) and some sections of double-tracking as well as new signal equipment. Each commuter rail station would consist of a platform (up to 1,000 feet in length and 15 to 20 feet in width) adjacent to each side of the tracks for passenger boarding. Parking facilities would be provided at most stations. Commuter rail facilities could be incorporated into facilities for other transportation modes at the planned multimodal facilities in Everett, Mukilteo, and Edmonds. Light maintenance and overnight care storage facilities would be proposed at the Everett Multimodal Facility. Heavy maintenance would be conducted at Amtrak's planned heavy maintenance yard. In addition to the proposed alternative, a No-Build Alternative, station location alternatives, and two corridor improvement alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The estimated capital costs for the proposed action are $104 million. The estimated annual operating and maintenance costs are $9.0 million to $10 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The rail system would provide peak-hour commuter rail service between key activity centers along the corridor, including two of the region's largest population and employment centers, namely, Seattle and Everett. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Intermittent steep to moderately steep bluffs, which lie adjacent to the east side of the project corridor, would be affected by rail facilities construction and operation, causing erosion and possible sedimentation of receiving waters. Landslides could also result. The rail line would lie within a seismically active area. Construction at some alternative station and corridor locations would alter drainage channels, disturb wetlands, encroach on floodplain land, disturb forest and shrub habitat, displace aquatic habitat, and/or mar visual quality.

Preparation date: December 10, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HAMPTON ROADS CROSSING STUDY (STATE PROJECT: 0064-114-F12, PE-102), CITIES OF CHESAPEAKE, HAMPTON, NEWPORT NEWS, NORFOLK, POQUOSON, SUFFOLK, AND VIRGINIA BEACH, AND ISLE OF WIGHT AND YORK COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. AN - 16356470; 7715 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a crossing of Hampton Roads, located in southeastern Virginia, is proposed. Hampton Roads is the waterbody and harbor located between the mouth of the James River to the west and the Chesapeake Bay to the east. The term has been adopted locally and also refers to the metropolitan region that surrounds the Hampton Roads Harbor. The study areas includes the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Poquoson, Newport News, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach, as well as the counties of Isle of Wight and York. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Project termini would include the Interstate Highway 64 (I-64)/I-664 interchange in Hampton, the I-64/I-564 interchange in Norfolk, Virginia Route (VA) 164 near Coast Guard Boulevard in Portsmouth, and the I-64/I-264/I-664 interchange in Chesapeake. Two potential tunnel designs are under consideration for each of the candidate build alternatives, namely, the steel tube design and the concrete tube design. The steel tube design, which is similar to the existing I-664 tunnel, is based on a generally circular tube section that provides space above and below the travelway for ventilation. The ventilation is accommodated with a fully transverse system. French air is supplied from ducts under the traffic, passed through the travelway, and exhausted in ducts above the ceiling. The overall height of the circular, steel tube section in 40 feet. The concrete tube design offers some advantages due to its smaller outside dimensions. The design features a rectangular section and employs a jet air longitudinal ventilation system that supplies fresh air from one end of the tunnel and pumps it longitudinally in accordance with traffic movements, prevailing winds, and weather conditions. The overall height of the tube section in 30 feet. Regardless of the alternative route and tube design chosen, the crossing would include bridge tunnel, bridge, and culvert sections. The estimated costs of the action alternatives range from $1.2 billion to $2.7 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve accessibility, mobility, and goods movement in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, relieve congestion affecting the I-64 Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. The reduced height of the concrete tube design, as compared to the steel tube design, would decrease the area and volume of dredging required for the tunnel, thereby reducing excavation costs and habitat impacts. An armor stone structure would crease 74 to 138 acres of benthic habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement 39 to 128 residences, eight to 10 businesses, and possibly one church, one community facility, and one government building, and two utilities. In addition, 2.3 to 116.6 acres of farmland would be displaced. Traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards would affect 66 to 373 dwelling units, but only 11 to 25 units would experience substantial increases over current noise levels. From 27 to 43 dwelling units would experience both absolute and relative increases in noise levels. Construction activities could affect the piping plover, a federally protected species. The structure would traverse approximately 30,000 to approximately 55,000 feet of waterbodies, impacting 72 to 136 acres of benthic habitat and encroaching directly on 0.96 to 18.31 acres of wetlands and indirectly on 1.38 to 7.2 acres of wetlands. One district listed on the National Register of Historic Places and one district considered eligible for listing could be affected, and two land areas eligible or considered eligible could also be affected. The project would encounter a number of hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: December 9, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WESTERN WAKE FREEEWAY, FROM NC 55 AT SR 1172 (OLD SMITHFIELD ROAD) TO NC 55 NEAR SR 1630 (ALSTON AVENUE), APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES (STATE PROJECT NUMBER 6.408006T; TIP PROJECT NUMBER R-2635), WAKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36413453; 7726 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.4-mile-long, six-lane, median-divided freeway, to be known as the Western Wake Freeway, located in east-central North Carolina, is proposed. The project is to provide high-speed, multi-lane, controlled-access transportation to accommodate increasing demand in the Raleigh area. The facility would traverse the western incorporated limits of the town of Apex and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the town of Cary as well as unincorporated areas of western Wake County. More specifically, the freeway would begin just north of North Carolina State Route 1172 (SR 1172), which is Old Smithfield Road between Apex and Holly Springs at North Carolina Highway 55 (NC 55, and extend to a point near SR 1630 (Alston Avenue at NC 55 north of Cary. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, which would be inconsistent with the transportation goals of Wake County, are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the build alternatives (Alternative A and Alternative C) would provide five interchanges to be located at the proposed Holly Springs Bypass, US Route 1 (US 1), Old US 1, US 64, and SR 1615 (Green Level Road). One grade separated railroad crossing would be required. The project would tie into Northern Wake Freeway at an interchange with NC 55 north of Cary and to the Southern Wake Freeway with an interchange at the Holly Springs Bypass south of Apex. Also under consideration are the Transportation System Management Alternative and the Mass Transit Alternative. The estimated costs of the alternatives range from $22.9 million to $57.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would constitute an important part of the proposed Raleigh Outer Look and help abate congestion on Interstate 440 as well as local arterials such as North Carolina (NC) 55 and NC 54. The area's attractiveness to industrial and institutional expansion would be enhanced, possibly increasing property values along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements, totaling 267.5 to 336.4 acres, would result in the displacement of 22 to 146 residences and up to one business and one school. One or two parks, two or three cemeteries, and one nationally significant historic district would be adversely affected, and one electrical transmission line, three or four gas pipelines, eight or nine sewer lines, and eight or nine streams would be traversed. From 3,379 to 3,576 feet of stream would require relocation. The facility could form a physical and psychological barrier adversely affecting connectivity between western and eastern portions of the corridor. Traffic-generated noise would impact 267 to 291 receptors. The project would displace 278.1 to 343.4 acres of upland natural systems, 16.2 to 41.4 acres of wetlands, and 11.8 to 15.2 acres of ponds.

Preparation date: December 8, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REACH 1 EVALUATION OF INTERIM PLAN FOR STORM DAMAGE PROTECTION, ATLANTIC COAST OF LONG ISLAND, FIRE ISLAND TO MONTAUK POINT, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK AN - 36413429; 7712 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of interim storm damage protection for the area of shoreline extending from Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet on Long Island, located in southeastern New York, is proposed. The south shore of Long Island has repeatedly suffered devastating impacts from storms of both extra-tropical (northeasters) and tropical origin, including major northeasters in 1950, 1962, 1979, 1984, 1991, 1992, and 1993. Much of the area to be protected lies within the Fire Island National Seashore. The project would be part of a larger beach erosion and hurricane protection project covering the area extending from Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point. The project would constitute an interim measure to provide protection until the overall reformulation of the authorized project was complete and the results potentially implemented. The overall Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point project was originally authorized to include a beach berm at an elevation of 14 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NVGD), backed by a dune system with a crest elevation of 20 feet NGVD. The interim plan would consist of sections of beach berm at an elevation of 9.5 NGVD, backed by a dune system with an elevation of 15 feet NGVD, over the 15,000-foot as well as sections of beach berm at an elevation of 11.5 feet NGVD, with a dune elevation of 18 feet NGVD with an overall length of 16,750 feet and sections of beach with no dune fill with an overall length of 28,200 feet. Sand beaches would be placed on 11.3 miles of Fire Island Atlantic shoreline, covering approximately 38 percent of the length of the 31-mile-long island. Sand dune fill would be placed on six miles of shoreline, extending approximately 20 percent of the length of the island. The sand for the beach fill would be taken from the ocean floor in an area of about 3,000 acres, centered approximately 1.3 miles off shore. The estimated initial cost of the interim plan is $52.9 million. The federal and non-federal costs are $34.4 million and $18.5 million, respectively. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing protection against hurricane-force storms, the project would ensure the safety of the human and non-human populations of the study area and reduce damage to structures and landscapes on the island. Approximately 12,000 structures on the mainland and 3,100 structures on the barrier island would receive some level of protection. Approximately 80 percent of the benefits derived from the project would redound to areas adjacent to the Great South Bay. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The disposition of beach fill would destroy benthic habitat and on-shore vegetation and associated habitat, including habitat for the piping plover and the seabeach amaranth, both of which are federally-protected species, result in short-term turbidity in the near-shore area. The use of the shoreline by fish and avian species would be temporarily disrupted.

Preparation date: December 6, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - VANCOUVER NATIONAL HISTORIC RESERVE COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN, CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36406256; 7707 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Vancouver National Historic Reserve, located in southwestern Washington, is proposed. Vancouver and the area designated as the reserve have played a central role in significant events in the history of the West and the Pacific Northwest. This influence extended from the Indian nations long established by the time of Lewis and Clark, through the fur and trade monopoly of the British Empire in the Oregon Territory, to the U.S. Army's continuing presence beginning in 1849. The 366-acre reserve contains the Fort Vancouver Historic Site, Vancouver Barracks, Officers Row, Pearson Field, the Water Resources Education Center, a marine park, and portions of the Columbia River waterfront. The reserve will be managed by a partnership involving the National Park Service, the Department of the Army, the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), were considered in this draft EIS. The goals of the preferred alternative (Alternative A) would be preservation of historic structures, physical assets, and cultural landscapes; education on and interpretation of the significance and history of the area for public benefit; and public use of and accessibility to the reserve. These overlapping goals would be reached through public and private partnerships and funding to ensure economic balance an sustainability for all new endeavors. In addition to restoration of structures and landscapes, the plan would provide for a visitors' center, interpretative facilities throughout the site, and access, circulation, and parking facilities. Alternative B would involve restoration of more historic structures and landscapes than under Alternative C. The estimated total development cost are $38.0 million to $61.5 million. The estimated barracks renovation costs are $26.6 million to $48.7 million. This abbreviated final EIS summarizes the proposal and comments in response to the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The restoration and interpretation of site resources would provide the public with insights into the historic role of the area in the pre-Colonial, Colonial, and post-Colonial history of the region and the nation. The plan would complement the renovation of downtown Vancouver and enhance the retail and service economy of the city, particularly the tourist economy. Property tax valuations would increase, increasing the local tax base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Finding tenants for the Vancouver Barracks buildings that would be compatible with its historic character could prove difficult. Achieving consensus among partners might prove difficult due to the complexity of issues involved, limited availability of funding, and the differing missions of the partners. Some traffic patterns in the vicinity of the reserve would be altered, and local traffic volumes could increase. Traffic congestion, noise, and demand for parking could adversely affect nearby tenants of Officers Row and local neighborhoods.

AN - 16354027; 7710 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of US Highway 151 (US 151) to a four-lane facility between the communities of Dickeyville and Belmont, located in southern Wisconsin, is proposed. US 151 is the principal route linking the metropolitan areas of Dubuque, Iowa, and Madison, Wisconsin. The 18.6-mile section of US 151 between Dickeyville and Belmont is the last section scheduled for improvement. The facility would connect with the existing four-lane sections of US 151 1.0 mile south of Dickeyville and extend northeasterly to its terminus 0.4 miles west of Belmont. A No-Build Alternative and several build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. All of the build alternatives would utilize the existing highway corridor to the extent practical and bypass communities where necessary. Freeway access control standards (no access except at interchanges) would be implemented along the bypass portions of the route. Expressway standards, permitting at-grade intersections and private entrances at controlled spacings, would be applied to the rural segments located along the existing alignment. For analysis purposes, the project area has been divided into four segments. In segment 1, the preferred alternative (Alternative 1B Modified) would bypass Dickeyville to the east and rejoin the existing corridor 0.5 miles north of the village limits. In segment 2, the preferred alternative (a combination of Alternative 2B south of the wayside and Alternative 2A north of the wayside) would generally follow the existing alignment. In segment 3, the preferred alternative (Alternative 3B) would bypass Platteville to the east; a full diamond interchange would be constructed at the STH 80/81 interchange. In segment 4, the preferred alternative (Alternative 4B Modified) would generally follow the existing alignment. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $74.4 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would alleviate traffic congestion, improve route safety, provide a critical connecting link in the overall transportation system, maintain the continuity of the overall route, and enhance regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 35 residences and nine businesses, and destroy 456 acres of farmland, 54 acres of woodland, 7.7 acres of wetlands, and 53 acres of other land. The facility would sever 23 farms and require the relocation of a portion of McAdam and Blackhouse creeks, adversely affecting some floodplain land. Three archaeologic sites would be adversely affected.

These risks are highly uncertain. Measures to confine the dredged material and reduce these risks are likely to increase disposal costs. Risk and cost assessments for dredged material management alternatives often are associated with very large uncertainties. These uncertainties must be explicitly incorporated into risk-cost analysis to ensure that appropriate management alternatives are selected. However, considering these uncertainties may cause difficulties in decision making by making management alternatives effectively indistinguishable. A risk-cost analysis methodology that evaluates uncertainty directly in the decision framework is developed. A multi-criteria decision-making method that incorporates uncertainties using fuzzy set theory, is proposed to trade-off risks and costs (including uncertainties) so that disposal alternatives can be compared and selected.

This report addresses the factors that contributed to that failure, which involved nearly 230,000 cu m, and the mechanisms of failure. The data examined during research on the causes of levee failure included geologic setting, historic bank migration and previous bank lines, thalweg profiles, width/depth ratios, scour pool movement, and river profiles. The geology within the pertinent river reach and Holocene chronology of changes in the river channel profile were critically important factors in revealing the cause of levee failure. The Marrero or Celotex failure occurred within sandy point-bar deposits from a former distributary channel of the St. Bernard delta system. During historic time, the river channel narrowed appreciably in the failure reach, while maintaining a near-constant cross- sectional area. The general failure mechanism involved scouring and erosion of sand from the toe of the river bank, causing an over-steepened slope and resultant instability of the upper bank. That is, severe scour at the toe resulted as the thalweg deepened through the sandy substratum. Flow failure in the sands then led to loss of the upper bank or batture.

The studied nourishments were undertaken at Ocean City, Md., Silver Strand, Calif., and Sylt, Germany, encompassing different nourishment schemes, forcing conditions, and general beach properties. Time series of measured beach topographies were used as input data in the EOF analysis, which produced maps describing the dominant spatial patterns in the data. These patterns displayed the effect of the fills, severe storms, and natural morphological features such as shore-attached shoals and rhythmic features. The evolution in time of the eigenvectors showed that the perturbation of the natural conditions typically caused by a fill disappears after about 1 year, provided that the material is available for cross-shore adjustment by the normal wave climate. If the fill material is placed high up on the beach, a series of severe storms may be needed to adjust the topography back to its natural state.

The thermal desorption sampler (TDS), was developed for the Site Characterization and Analysis Penetrometer System (SCAPS) program to provide in situ analysis of VOCs in vadose zone and saturated soils. In operation, the TDS captures an estimated quantity of soil below ground, thermally desorbs the VOCs, and transfers them to the surface where they are analyzed on a field portable ion trap mass spectrometer (ITMS). This analysis is sensitive to the low ppb range for chlorinated solvents and BTEX compounds. The TDS was field tested at five geologically distinct sites across the country. Field data were compared to laboratory data (EPA SW-846 Method 8260B (USEPA 1995)) for validation of the technique. Data analysis indicated that the in situ analysis of the primary VOC contaminant at each site demonstrated good correlation with the validation method with a liner regression correlation coefficient between 0.8 and 1.0 and the slope of the regression line between 0.7 and 1.3. Secondary VOC contaminants of lesser concentration demonstrated poorer correlation that could be attributed to the lack of chromatographic separation prior to the ITMS analysis.

AN - 36391765; 7704 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of timber logging and related management activities in the Indian River Project Area in the Hoonah and Sitka ranger districts of the Tongass National Forest, located in southeastern Alaska, is proposed. The area, which is located on Chichagof Island on the northern shore of Tenakee Inlet, includes the major watersheds of 10-Mile Creek, Indian River, and portions of the Freshwater Creek and Game Creek drainages. The city of Tenakee Springs lies within the area. The Tongass National Forest is the last substantially-intact temperate rainforest in the world. Issues addressed include the impacts of timber logging on subsistence use, fish habitat and water quality, biodiversity and wildlife, public concerns with respect to location of log transfer facilities and camp locations, the economic benefits of logging, the impacts on social values of local communities (particularly those associated with the residents of Tenakee Springs), and alternatives available to use of traditional clearcutting methods. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (Alternative B) would include timber logging throughout the project area, using a landscape matrix approach to maintain certain levels of biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Approximately 23.6 million board feet (MMBF) of timber would be logged from 1,821 acres within the Indian River Project Area on northeast Chichagof Island. The preferred alternative (Alternative C) would include timber logging in value comparison units (VCUs) 204, 216 and 222, with additional units in VCU 220, to provide a middle logging volume alternative. Timber would be made available by means of two or more sales. Up to 19.0 MMBF of sawlog timber and 4.8 MMBF of utility timber would be logged from 1,559 acres within an area on the northeast Chichagof Island. A total of 68 harvest units would be created. Logging systems would include 444 acres of cable logging, 75 acres of cable and helicopter logging, 1,024 acres of helicopter logging, and 16 acres of shovel logging. Logging methods would include 955 acres of clearcut with green tree retention, 151 acres of overstory removal, 167 acres of patch clearcutting, 150 acres of group selection, and 136 acres of single tree selection. Approximately 5.43 miles of permanent road and 2.6 miles of temporary road would be constructed and 21.73 miles of road would be reconstructed to allow timber removal. One previously existing log transfer facility (LTF) at Sunshine Cove would be reconstructed and a floating camp would be created at Corner Bay (across Tenakee Inlet). Alternative D would include timber logging in VCUs 204, 216 and 222 to reduce impacts on residents of Tenakee Springs. Alternative E would include the timber logging throughout the project area, with a deferral of logging in areas of high habitat value. Alternative F would include timber logging throughout the project area in order to provide a high output of timber. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The timber generated by the sale would boost the local and regional economies, and logging activities would employ local residents. Direct and indirect employment resulting from the timber sale would provide an average of 49 jobs annually in the area over four years, generating an average annual wages amounting to $2.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, activities related to timber logging would adversely affect 2.4 acres of wetland and destroy 21 acres of beach fringe, 2.0 acres of estuary fringe, 37 acres of riparian habitat, 20 acres of old-growth habitat, and 2,486 acres of second-growth habitat. The habitat for Sitka black- tailed deer, brown bear, river otter, marten, red squirrel, brown creeper, red- breasted sapsucker, hairy woodpecker, and bald eagle would be lost. Approximately 7.7 miles of stream would be disturbed due to road construction, degrading fish habitat and water quality. Recreational resources, including opportunities for semi-primitive non-motorized and semi-primitive motorized recreational experiences, would be adversely affected. Some noise pollution to Tenakee residents could be anticipated by any alternative using either of the Sunshine Cove LTFs.

Global climate patterns including El Nino/Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and the North Atlantic Oscillation explained very little of the variations in flow peaks. However, large and statistically significant upward trends were found in many gauge records along the Upper Mississippi and Missouri Rivers: at Hermann on the Missouri River above the confluence with the Mississippi (p = 2 percent), at Hannibal on the Mississippi River (p < 0.1 percent), at Meredosia on the Illinois River (p = 0.7 percent), and at St. Louis on the Mississippi below the confluence of all three rivers (p = 1 percent). This challenges the traditional assumption that flood series are independent and identically distributed random variables and suggests that flood risk changes over time.

An experimental study was performed to select it. The experiments consisted of two parts, Part 1 tests were conducted according to an accepted engineering standard to compare four candidate geotextiles. Part 2 tests simulated expected field conditions, and were conducted to determine whether one geotextile selected from the Part 1 tests was likely to perform well. The geotextile selected for Part 2 tests retained particles of 0.1 mm and larger, and was installed as a silt fence filter in the field. The silt fence filter was removed shortly after dredging began because it clogged, primarily due to unexpected, high amounts of suspended sediment in the supernatant. The design of the support structure for the silt fence did not permit maintenance of the filter, which may have prevented its failure. The failure may also have been prevented if salt or other materials used to promote flocculation of the dredged spoils were readily available and used on the spoils. The selection procedure described may be helpful because the conditions tested for in the laboratory are likely to occur or could be induced.

AN - 16353244; 7716 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a demonstration project for agricultural water supply, groundwater management, and conservation, located in eastern Arkansas, is proposed. The Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project, which would also include waterfowl management components, was been prompted by depletion of the alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas due to extensive agricultural use. The study area comprises 25 percent (13,400 square miles) of the state land area and includes all or portions of 24 counties. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are addressed in this draft EIS. The selected plan would provide a combination of conservation, groundwater, on-farm storage, water importation, and environmental measures. More specifically, the tentatively selected plan (Alternative 7B) would include a 1,640-cubic-foot-per-second import system to divert excess flows from the White River, 8,849 acres of new on-farm irrigation reservoirs, on-farm tailgater recovery systems, restoration of prairie vegetation, and annual flooding of 38,529 acres of harvested rice fields for waterfowl use. To mitigate impacts associated with construction of the import system, 193 acres of cleared land would be acquired in fee title and planted in upland hardwood trees and 243 acres of agricultural land would be acquired in fee title and planted in bottomland hardwood trees. The estimated first cost of the project is $270.5 million (at October 1996 levels). The estimated average annual costs are $29.3 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a supplemental source of irrigation water, the plan would incorporate conservation measures to allow for stabilization of the alluvial aquifer. Diversions from the White River would provide an average of 243,900 additional acre-feet of irrigation water annually. River diversions combined with groundwater withdrawals and conservation practices would initially meet the annual irrigation demand of 481,195 acre-feet. Mussel and other fisheries in the area would be enhanced. The plan would provide $8.1 million in annual net benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 71 acres wold be directly impacted by project construction, including 54 acres of upland hardwoods, and 31 acres would be lost of permanent structures. Approximately 121 acres of wetland would be impacted, 64 of which would be impacted permanently. Four acres of prairie would be adversely affected, and 245 acres of wildlife habitat would be eliminated. Construction of the import system and the irrigation reservoirs would result in the loss of 12,644 acres of farmland. The plan would leave an unmet irrigation demand of 59,791 acre-feet for the year 2015 and beyond. Beginning in the year 2015, the annual aquifer withdrawals would be limited to long-term sustained yield (35,574 acre-feet), which would allow recharge. Maximum stage reductions of about one foot or less would occur on the White River during the summer and early fall when the river is low and irrigation demands are highest; changes in stage would be almost immeasurable during high flows.

Preparation date: December, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DANIEL ISLAND MARINE CARGO TERMINAL, CHARLESTON, CHARLESTON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 16355669; 7697 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a marine cargo terminal complex at Daniel Island on Charleston Harbor, located in the city of Charleston in southeastern South Carolina, is proposed. A recent report indicates that, unless constrained by facility limitations, the annual container throughput for the Port of Charleston can be expected to increase by 5.8 percent per year through the year 2020, reaching a level of 4.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units per year. Existing throughput capacity, however, cannot accommodate such a volume. Several alternatives are considered in the draft EIS, including a No-Build Alternative, terminal location alternatives, surface access location alternatives, facility design alternatives, construction methodology alternatives, channel modification design alternatives, dredged material disposal alternatives, wharf design and alignment alternatives, bridge design and construction alternatives, and design and construction alternatives for crossing wetlands. The preferred alternative would include approximately 1,300 acres of port terminal development at the south end of Daniel Island to provide cargo processing and storage facilities, intermodal rail facilities, and related terminal operating facilities; approximately 7,000 feet of wharf and berthing area on the Cooper River and approximately 5,000 feet of wharf and berthing area on the Wando River; approximately 37 acres of dredged berthing area, associated improvements to the Wando River, Hog Island, and Drum Island reaches of the navigation system; approximately 2.5 miles of multilane roadway construction between the proposed terminal site and Interstate 526; approximately 13 miles of rail connecting the proposed terminal facilities to the East Cooper and Berkeley Railroad; and a road bridge and rail bridge over the Beresford Creek. The project would also involve the transportation of approximately 11 million cubic yards of dredged material to the Charleston Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site, located southeast of Morris Island in approximately 30 to 50 feet of water, for dumping. The dumping site has an areas of 11 square miles, the center of which is approximately seven miles from shore. Dredged material would be placed within a two-mile-square area within the site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing the throughput capacity of the port, the project would allow it to accommodate existing and anticipated freight traffic through the year 2020, ensuring provision of goods for the region and enhancing the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would have medium adverse impacts on residential land uses, low adverse impacts on commercial land uses, and high adverse impacts on industrial and institutional land uses. It would have medium adverse impacts on community features and low adverse impacts on conservation areas. The 500-foot corridor would include 174 acres of National Forest System lands. The rail corridor would directly affect three small rural neighborhoods historically occupied by minorities, many of whom are low-income persons. The terminal would generate significant amounts of additional traffic in the area. The facility would create 1,027 acres of impervious surface. Rail traffic would result in noise levels in excess of federal standards with respect to 20 buildings and 490 parcels. Eight known archaeologic sites, including seven that could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be adversely affected. The terminal would substantially change the appearance of the south end of Daniel Island as viewed from locations on the east side of the Wando River and locations on the west side of the Cooper River. Vessel wakes could damage the shorelines of the Charleston Harbor and the Wando River. The terminal and rail corridor would lie within a flood hazard area subject to periodic inundation from storm surges. Dredging, surface water runoff, bilge wastes, and accidental spills would degrade water quality in the Charleston Harbor and its tributaries. The project would displace 88 acres of estuarine habitat, including 67 acres of salt marsh and 21 acres of open water habitat. An additional 59 acres of estuarine habitat would be modified due to dredging and partial filling. Approximately 20 acres of freshwater wetlands would be filled along the rail alignment. The project would adversely affect the habitat of the federally- listed red-cockaded woodpecker and flatbeds salamander. The increases in ship traffic due to the presence of the terminal could result in the introduction of exotic species into the local and regional ecosystems.

Preparation date: November 22, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COALFIELDS EXPRESSWAY; BUCHANAN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND MCDOWELL, RALEIGH, AND WYOMING COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36415243; 7692 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Coalfields Expressway along a 62-mile corridor extending from the Virginia Route (VA) 83 in the vicinity of Slate in southwestern Virginia to Interstate 77 (I-77) in the vicinity of Beckley in southern West Virginia is proposed. While the project is largely located in West Virginia, approximately four miles lie in Virginia. The study route was defined as the primary highway system between Slate and Beckley and is comprised of VA 83, West Virginia (WV) 83, and WV 16. The study route serves as the main street with collector movement characteristics through and between numerous communities as well as through traffic between the termini. Traffic flow along the study route is inhibited by geometric and other constraints including varying lane width, areas of reduced speeds through developed areas, a high percentage of no passing zones, and steep grades. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, which would include segments of the four build alternatives, would provide a four-lane divided highway extending 65 miles with access points limited to two per side per mile. The highway would be divided by a depressed median of at least 46 feet in width or by a 16-foot-wide median with a concrete barrier in the center. Truck climbing lanes would be provided as necessary. The highway would begin at a point north of Slate near the headwaters of Payne Branch and proceed in a northeasterly direction parallel to VA 83 to the Virginia/West Virginia state line. After crossing the state line, the highway would follow WV 83 to Atwell. East of Atwell, the highway would continue in an easterly direction paralleling WV 83 and WV 16 and passing north of War. The highway would cross US 52 near Indian Gap and continue northeasterly, passing Welch to the north. The alignment would cross the McDowell/Wyoming County line on Indian Ridge, cross WV 16 and follow White Oak Branch in a northerly direction towards Pineville. East of Pineville, the highway would cross Pinnacle Creek and the Guyandotte River near New Richmond. The alignment would then pass immediately north of Mullens, crossing WV 54 at Nuriva and the Wyoming/Raleigh County line. At the county line, the alignment would turn northward, passing south of Slab Fork and paralleling WV 34 to its crossing of WV 54 immediately north of Sophia. East of WV 54, the highway would connect to WV 16 and terminate at the I-64/I-77 interchange. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $780.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would provide a transportation system with minimal geometric constraints, minimize conflicts between interstate/intercounty and local traffic and between truck traffic and local traffic, decrease travel times within the study area, reduce accident rates within the corridor, increase safety and efficiency of interactions between motor vehicle and rail traffic, and contribute to the regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement 335 residences, 34 businesses, 15 community facilities, and 374 acres of prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance. One historic district and 21 structures lying within the district would be adversely affected by the project, as would four cemeteries. Within the corridor, areas of high, moderate, and low probability for significant archaeological resources comprise 58 acres, 757 acres, and 6,881 acres, respectively. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal and/or state standards at 117 receptor sites. The construction and operation of the facility could adversely affect the habitat of nine rare, threatened or endangered species. The project would result in the displacement of 5.08 acres of wetland and 18,067 wildlife habitat units. The project would traverse 38.32 miles of stream and encroach on 108 acres of floodplain. The construction activities would encounter ten hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: November 18, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JACKSON PORT, PROPOSED PUBLIC PORT FACILITIES ON THE TOMBIGBEE RIVER, CITY OF JACKSON, CLARKE COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 16344424; 7690 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a spur canal and port facilities off the Black Warrior- Tombigbee Rivers (BWT) Federal Navigation Channel, located in the city of Jackson in southwestern Alabama, is proposed. The project site is located at navigable mile 91.1 on the Tombigbee River. Federal construction of the canal would facilitate the construction of a public port facility at Jackson by the City of Jackson. Both the canal and the port facilities are addressed in this final EIS. The proposed alternatives include two federal project alternatives, three City of Jackson alternatives, and three No Action Alternatives. The two federal project alternatives would involve the construction of a spur canal and the city of Jackson alternatives would consist of developing port facilities near the spur canal. The federal project alternatives (Alternative FP-A and Alternative FP-B) would consist of the construction and maintenance of an access channel off the federal navigation channel, the expansion of the existing barge slip to a spur canal into the Jackson Port property, suitable disposal areas for excavated material and future maintenance dredging, and the stabilization of the bank upstream of the spur canal. More specifically, the project would involve the expansion of the existing 100-foot-wide, 400-foot-long barge slip to a 300- foot-wide, 1,000-foot-long spur canal with a depth of 14 feet below the National Geodetic Veridical Datum on the left (descending) bank of the river. Under Alternative FP-A, the total development area of the federal project would extend 140 acres. Some 107 acres would be encompassed by a disposal area containing material from the initial maintenance dredging and the wetland development area would be 18.3 acres. Under Alternative FP-B, the total development area of the federal project would extend 121.6 acres. Some 67 acres would be encompassed by a disposal area containing material from the initial maintenance dredging and the wetland development area would be 18.3 acres. The City of Jackson project would consist of the construction of vessel berthing areas and port-related facilities adjacent to the spur canal. The construction activities would include fill for site development, the construction of access corridors to provide truck and rail access to the site, loading dock facilities, warehousing, and other port-related facilities. Jackson Port Phase 1 would be dependent upon which federal project alternative is chosen. It would include the addition of a transport corridor to accommodate truck and rail access to the port, involving a development area of 206.4 acres, including 70 acres of wetlands. Jackson Port Phase 2 and Jackson Port Phase 3 would involve continuing development and the expansion of Jackson Port Phase 1. Phase 2 would involve provide additional port operations, involving a development area of 235 acres, including 94.2 acres of wetlands. Phase 3 would add areas for bulk material storage, dredged material disposal, and additional port operational facilities, involving a development area of 343.5 acres, including 189.1 acres of wetlands. The three No Action Alternatives include the No Federal Project/No City Project Alternative, the No Federal Project/City Project Alternative (also called the Reduced Effort Alternative), and the Federal Project (FP-A) Constructed/No City Project Alternative or the Federal Project (FP-B) Constructed/No City Project Alternative, depending on which federal project alternative was chosen. The No Federal Project/No City Project Alternative could develop 76.9 acres of available expansion area under an existing Department of the Army permit. The No Federal Project/City Project Alternative would develop 125.8 acres including 3.3 acres of wetlands. The Federal Project (FP-A) Constructed/No City Project Alternative would develop 140.0 acres including 18.3 acres of wetlands and the Federal Project (FP-B) Constructed/No City Project Alternative would develop 121.6 acres including 10.1 acres of wetlands. The overall project would have an estimated life of 50 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project facilities would ease the transport of goods on the associated stretch of the federal navigation channel, enhancing safety and improving local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project activities would adversely affect up to 160 acres of forested wetlands and the associated wildlife habitat, though these impacts would be mitigated. It would require the placement of fill on 360 acres of floodplain, increasing flood flows downstream of the project area. Changes in river hydraulics could result in erosion and otherwise adversely affect shoreline stability. Operations at Jackson Sawmill could be adversely affected by flooding, groundwater elevation, surface water drainage problems, and structural changes required by project facilities and associated facilities. Chemical and petroleum spills and potential materials contamination could result from material storage and barge operations related to canal operations. The project could adversely affect the heelsplitter, the Alabama sturgeon, and several mussel species, all of which are federally-listed threatened or endangered species or candidates for listing.

AN - 36415571; 7682 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of State Route (SR) 124 and 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 upgrade of US 33 from the south side of the city of Athens to the city of Darwin are part of an effort to upgrade the US 33 transportation link from the city of Columbus to the Ohio River. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this 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 provided for horizontal and vertical geometry meeting interstate freeway standards, with shoulders, left-turn lanes as necessary, and controlled access features. This draft EIS considers the impacts of the full-build, four-lane facility. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would have a lower 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded, relocated facility would improve the movement of people and goods throughout Meigs County and more generally throughout southeastern 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 destruction of 161 acres of farmland, 20 residences, and two acres of wetlands.

AN - 16355517; 7681 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to control flooding on the Rio de Flag River affecting the city of Flagstaff, located in southern 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 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 $385 million would suffer approximately $93 million in 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. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternatives would capture flows from Rio de Flag and Clay Avenue Wash in large detention basins during peak flooding events. These basins would be constructed in Thorpe Park along the Rio De Flag and just beyond the western city boundary along the Clay Avenue Wash. In addition, the plan would include downstream channel modifications along Rio de Flag and Clay Avenue Wash as well as a greenbelt area and recreational amenities. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $18.3 million, of which nearly $12 million would be federally funded. The estimated annualized benefit-cost ratio for the project is 1.61. 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 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, though 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 destroyed, but these impacts would be mitigated by creation of additional wetland elsewhere. Two historic structures would lie within the area to be graded for the detention basins. One ranch house and 13 mobile homes would be displaced. Project structures would alter area aesthetics and block views for some residents.

AN - 16351777; 7677 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of the Oakland Army Base (OAB), located in the city of Oakland in northern California, is proposed. OAB is located on 368 acres of unsubmerged and 54 acres of submerged land in a heavily industrialized area at the western edge of Oakland at the eastern terminus of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, two miles west of Oakland's central business district and seven miles east of San Francisco. The 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC 95) Commission made recommendations for the realignment and closure of the OAB and the realignment of its missions elsewhere. The resource areas evaluated include those associated with land use, air quality, noise, water resources, geology and soils, infrastructure, traffic and transportation, hazardous and toxic materials, permits and regulatory authorizations, biological resources, cultural resources, social environment, economics, quality of life, and installation agreements. Two disposal alternatives (encumbered and unencumbered) and six reuse scenarios are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Oakland Base Reuse Authority (OBRA) would redevelop the 422-acre base, except for 19.8 acres that would be retained for an Army Reserve enclave. A portion of the base would be used for expansion of maritime operations, while the remainder of the released land would be developed as a business and technology park. Most of the existing facilities on the base would be demolished. The preferred alternative (the encumbered disposal) would involve the transfer of ownership subject to certain deed restrictions. The reuse alternatives, which do not lie within the Army's domain, would include low-intensity reuse, medium-low- intensity reuse, medium-intensity reuse, medium-high-intensity reuse, high- intensity reuse, and very-high-intensity reuse. The medium-high intensity alternative closely matches the OBRA Draft Final Reuse Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse alternatives would contribute to the economic development of the Oakland/San Francisco area, including the enhancement of the employment, income, and associated property and income tax bases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reuse alternatives would result in the transfer from federal protection of historic buildings and other structures that are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. All six reuse alternatives would have significant, direct adverse impacts on cultural resources involving the demolition of historic structures. The encumbered disposal would require the mitigation of adverse impacts to historic structures. Four of the six reuse alternatives would result in significant land use impacts due to incompatibilities with one or more existing land use plans or policies. The more intensive reuse alternatives would result in significant adverse impacts to air quality, noise levels, biologic resources, and traffic congestion.

Preparation date: November 9, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WOLF LAKE AREA NATURAL GAS PROJECT, KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, SOLDOTNA, KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 16342179; 7676 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a right-of-way grant to Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) to allow the construction of a natural gas pipeline and associated production facilities within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge of the Kenai National Forest, located within the Cook Inlet region of south-central Alaska, is proposed. The area to be developed for natural gas resources currently produces more than 200 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually for consumption and export. More than half of the Alaskan population relies on Cook Inlet natural gas to generate electricity and to heat homes and businesses; demand for natural gas is on the increase. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The South Route Alternative would , which was developed to avoid wetlands as much as possible, would primarily takes advantage of upland ridges between the Galena pad and the Beaver Creek Gas Production Unit (BCU). The overall length, including the segment between the Wolf Lake and Galena pads, would be approximately 5.3 miles. The Central Route Alternative, which was developed to avoid upland ridges considered to be high-quality wildlife habitat within the refuge and to take advantage of naturally open areas and avoid creation of corridors, would extend 5.6 miles. The North Route Alternative, which was developed to utilize open wetland areas following nearly level terrain and thereby avoid stands of old growth timber, would extend 5.5 miles. Regardless of the alternative chosen, the project would include a natural gas pipeline between BCU and the Wolf Lake and Galena well sites, including primary and secondary product pipelines, a water disposal pipeline, and communications and electrical power lines, all of which would be buried. The right-of-way clearing width would be 50 feet. The pipeline trench would be approximately four feet deep and six feet wide. The construction activities would occur during the winter of 2000-2001. Up to three wells would be located at each of the existing pads. Existing roads would provide access to the well sites. Marathon anticipates drilling an exploratory well, the Mosquito Lake prospect, in the future, requiring the development of a drill pad and the construction of up to 0.25 mile of access road. If the Mosquito Lake well proved economically viable, Marathon would construct three miles of pipeline between the site and the Wolf Lake well site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way grant would allow Marathon to bring new natural gas reserves into production to continue to meet the energy needs of consumers in the Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction activities would disturb 4.5 to 4.7 acres of soil. The Mosquito Lake road and pad would displace up to 3.8 more acres, and the expansion of the Wolf Lake pad would require the placement of 0.7 acre of fill. Excavation in wet soils and erosion would result in localized degradation of water quality. From 8.5 to 11.7 acres of wetlands and 22.1 to 25.1 of upland vegetation would lie within the pipeline route, requiring the excavation of 1.0 to 1.4 acres of wetlands and 3.2 to 3.6 acres of upland vegetation. The Mosquito Lake to Wolf Lake pipeline right-of-way would encompass an additional 13.8 acres of upland vegetation, displacing 3.3 acres of vegetation. The clearing, brushing, and excavation would adversely affect the visual character of the area and disrupt recreational activities.

AN - 16345917; 7670 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Fort Chaffee, located within the Ozark Mountains, approximately six miles southeast of downtown Fort Smith and approximately 150 miles northwest of Little Rock in west-central Arkansas, are proposed. The disposal and reuse plan concerns some 7,400 acres of excess property of the fort, which encompasses approximately 71,000 acres. The excess area is located in the western and northern areas of the installation. Based on recommendations by the 1995 Base Closure and Realignment Commission, approximately 63,600 acres would be retained by the Army for reserve component training, while the remainder of the fort would be disposed of as excess property. Most of the retained land would be licensed to the Arkansas Army National Guard to be operated as a training facility. The equipment concentration site would be transferred to the Army Reserve Command. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The two disposal alternatives would include encumbered disposal and unencumbered disposal. The three reuse alternatives would include low-intensity, medium-intensity, and high-intensity reuse. Under the proposed action, areas to be disposed of would include a golf course, an old military hospital complex, and a built-up area extending north of Fort Smith Boulevard to Arkansas State Highway (SH) 22. All buildings at the fort are of World War II-era wood construction, some of which have been upgraded with metal siding. Other excess property which would be disposed of would include an area between SH 22 and the Arkansas River and an area in the northern bank of the Arkansas River. Under the No Action Alternative, the excess property would remain in caretaker status. The Army's preferred alternative is encumbered disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Fewer adverse impacts would be expected under the encumbered disposal alternative, including significant adverse impacts to infrastructure (landfills), than under the unencumbered disposal alternative. The encumbered disposal would provide direct benefits with respect to land use, air quality, noise levels, utilities, cultural resources, the social environment and general quality of life, and the fort's installation agreements. Indirect benefits would redound to groundwater quality, area geology, transportation systems, and economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The encumbered disposal would have direct, though minor, adverse impacts on economic development due to the restriction placed on the development. The preferred alternative would also have indirect, but again minor, adverse impacts on stormwater drainage, land use, air quality, noise, utilities, and the fort's installation agreements.

Hydroacoustic counts of guided fish were significantly correlated with concurrent gatewell catches (r super(2) = 0.73; N = 39), as were hydroacoustic counts of unguided fish with fyke-net catches (r super(2) = 0.71; N = 39). However, hydroacoustic sampling significantly underestimated both guided and unguided fish passage relative to netting estimates. We could not explain the underestimates by modeling hydroacoustic detectability, and the distribution of fish passage across the intake width was not skewed away from transducer sampling volumes. Hydroacoustics provided relatively unbiased estimates of fish guidance efficiency (guided/[guided + unguided]) because of compensating errors in the numerator and denominator. The best correlation between net and hydroacoustic estimates of efficiency (r super(2) = 0.85; N = 40) had a slope of 0.91 when the intercept was set to zero. Precision of hydroacoustic estimates increased 50% and the r super(2) of the correlation line increased 19% when hydroacoustic sampling duration was extended from the typical netting duration of 1-2 h to 4 h. Further increases in hydroacoustic sampling duration from 5 to 9 h provided no significant improvement in correlations. Strong correlations between estimates of FGE derived from netting and hydroacoustic sampling are reassuring and useful because both methods have advantages that can be exploited to improve overall sampling effectiveness at a hydropower project. The derivation of a universally applicable relation between hydroacoustic and physical-capture estimates of fish passage is not possible given many potential deployment-dependent biases in estimates.

In order for this to occur a hydrological cycle would be necessary in which the chemical weathering of silicate rocks consumes CO (sub 2) that precipitates as carbonates in a martian ocean which probably had a very high alkalinity. The consumption of atmospheric CO (sub 2) by this process would result in a gradual decrease of the atmospheric greenhouse influence and lead to a cooler climate. Once the Mars surface became cool enough for freezing conditions to prevail, the hydrological cycle would largely cease, and the uptake of CO (sub 2) by silicate rock weathering would greatly diminish. The alkalinity of the freezing sea-water would probably be enough for the removal of all Ca as CaCO (sub 3) ; some Mg and Na would also probably be removed. The removal of these cations as carbonates would have a major influence on the final T at which liquid brines would be able to persist. During the period of freezing, the oceans would act as a source for CO (sub 2) rather than a sink, further slowing the rate of climate change on Mars.

Russell and J. Strom Thurmond Lakes: Interim Report for the Period 1997-1998 AN - 17647104; 4679231 AB - After completion of phase III of the Richard B. Russell Pumped Storage Testing and Monitoring studies, an interim period of water quality studies was continued to provide additional baseline information and to maintain continuity in the water quality database. These studies continued through 1997 and 1998 and are reported here. Phase III results detailed the effect of simulated commercial operation of pumped storage on Richard B. Russell Lake (RBR) and J. Strom Thurmond Lake (JST) in terms of water quality and fisheries habitat. Although there were observable changes in RBR and JST as a result of pumped storage, the subsequent comparisons of adjacent years of conventional operation without pumped storage were important for identification of additional trends in water quality and fisheries habitat. The interim studies continued in a similar manner to baseline studies during the phase III period. As a result, it was shown that although the years 1996-1998 were similar in many respects, weather for example, and the resulting thermal conditions were similar to many years on these lakes, increased dissolved oxygen demand greatly affected the extent of habitat as defined by the habitat suitability index. The observations of the two interim years of study show extremes of variation in water quality in these lakes in the absence of pumped storage.

AN - 36407514; 7667 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an electric light-rail transit system by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, located in the Central Puget Sound region (Seattle, Tukwila, and SeaTac) of 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 addressed in this draft EIS include those related to land use and economic development, displacement and relocation, neighborhoods and environmental justice, visual and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise and vibration, ecosystems, water quality and hydrology, energy use, geology and soils, hazardous materials, electromagnetic radiation, public services, utilities, historic and archaeologic sites, parklands, construction impacts, and cumulative impacts. Alternatives under consideration include a No-Build Alternative, two light-rail length alternatives, 24 rail route alternatives, 61 station options, and three alternative maintenance base sites. With 24 to 29 miles of light-rail line, the corridor is divided into six geographic segments, including Segment A which runs from Northgate to the University District, Segment B which runs from the University District to Westlake Station, Segment C which runs from Westlake Station to South McClellan Street, Segment D which runs from South McClellan Street to Boeing Access, Segment E in Tukwila, and Segment F in SeaTac. For each segment, two to five route alternatives are 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 are $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. The locally preferred alternatives are identified for all but one of the segments, but no decision has been made by the federal authorities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would connect the region's major activity centers, including Northgate, Roosevelt, the University District, Capitol Hill, First Hill, downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley area, the city of Tukwila, and city of SeaTac, and the Sea-Tac International Airport. Seattle Center and Southcenter Mall could also be served. These areas include the state's highest employment concentrations and contain the highest transit ridership. The system would expand transit capacity within the region's most densely populated and congested corridor, provide a practical alternative to driving on increasingly congested roadways, support comprehensive land use and transportation planning, provide environmental benefits, and improve mobility for travel-disadvantaged residents along he corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of the system would result residential and commercial displacements. It would also adversely affect historic and archaeologic resources and parkland and wetland, and impede non-motorized access at some locations. Vegetation and associated wildlife would be destroyed in some areas. Some neighborhoods, including those with low-income and minority populations, would suffer some adverse impacts due to the visual intrusion of rail structures into their neighborhoods and barriers to movement resulting from the presence of the structures. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. The operation of the system would result in some adverse impacts due to noise and vibration.

AN - 16340871; 7662 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 15.5 miles of State Route (SR) 70 from south of Striplin Road to south of McGowan Parkway overcrossing, located in north-central California, is proposed. SR 70 begins at the SR 70/90 junction, just north of the city of Sacramento, and continues south to its terminus at SR 395 at Hallelujah Junction. The highway constitutes the primary route connecting Sacramento to the city of Marysville. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives would closely follow existing SR 70 except in the vicinity of East Nicolaus. Alternative 1 would provide two new lanes east of the existing highway from the SR 70/99 split to Striplin Road. Near Striplin Road, the two new lanes would transition to the west side of the existing highway and four new lands would be constructed to Marcum Road, utilizing land formerly used by the Sacramento Northern Railway. Alternative 2 would be similar to Alternative 1, except that the alignment would be shifted approximately 45 meters further to the west between Striplin and Marcum roads, to avoid wetlands located immediately west of existing SR 70. Alternative 3 would also be similar to Alternative 1, except that the alignment would be shifted to the east between Striplin and Marcum roads, again to avoid the wetlands. Alternative 3 would utilize the existing SR 70 southbound lanes and add two new lands for northbound traffic. A two-lane frontage road would be constructed to the east of the new northbound lands to accommodate local traffic under Alternative 3. Regardless of the action alternative selected, an overcrossing would be provided at Marcum Road, where the highway would turn west to bypass the town of East Nicolaus before returning to the west side of existing SR 70 near Cornelius Avenue. An interchange would be constructed at Nicolaus Avenue and an overcrossing at Cornelius Avenue. North of Cornelius Avenue, two new lanes would be constructed to the west of the existing highway. An at-grade intersection, eventually to be replaced by an interchange, would be constructed at Berry and Kempton roads. Just north of Berry and Kempton roads, the freeway would transition back to the east side of the existing roadway at the Bear River bridge. The Rio Oso Road intersection would be eliminated and frontage roads would be constructed from Rio Oso Road to the Berry Road/Kempton Road Interchange. At the Bear River, a bridge would be constructed to the east of the existing bridge for the northbound lanes. The existing bridge would be widened to accommodate the southbound lanes. An at- grade intersection, which would eventually be replaced by an interchange, would be constructed at Feather River Boulevard. The alignment would continue north with two new lanes on the east side of the existing highway. A second undercrossing would continue north with two new lanes on the east side of the existing highway. A second undercrossing at Algodon Road and a second overhead at Plumas Arboga Road would be constructed to accommodate the two new northbound lanes. At this point, the alignment would run between some high power electrical towers to the east and Plumas Arboga Road to the west and return to existing SR 70 just south of McGowan Parkway. Park-and-ride facilities have been recommended at Feather River Boulevard and Plumas Arboga and Algodon Roads. The estimated costs of the project range from $101 million to $102.3 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgrading of this section of SR 70 would allow it to complement the contiguous four lane section of the facility, improving traffic flow and, thereby, increasing travel speeds, and reducing air pollutant emissions within the corridor. The bypass of East Nicolaus would probably remove through traffic from local streets in that community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of 21 or 22 residences, one business, four farms, 14.6 to 20.6 acres of wetlands and related waters, and 111 to 190 acres of floodplain. The bypass of East Nicolaus would probably reduce drive-by commerce along existing SR 70 in the area. The project could also adversely affect the vernal pool tadpole shrimp and Swainson's hawk as well as potential habitat for the giant garter snake, steelhead trout, fall run Chinook salmon, vernal pool fairy shrimp, valley elderberry longhorn beetle, California red-legged frog, and northwestern pond turtle; all these species are federally protected. Interchanges and overcrossings would block views of agricultural lands, and the removal of large riparian trees would further degrade visual aesthetics. Noise levels at a few sensitive receptors would increase by as much as 11 decibels. The highway would lie in a corridor containing 18 sites which could be adversely affected by hazardous materials.

AN - 36415943; 13418 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a light rail transit (LRT) system to serve downtown Portland, the city of Milwaukie, and north Clackamas County, Oregon is proposed. This draft supplement updates information contained in the South/North Corridor Project draft EIS of February 1998. The supplement also considers findings from the South Corridor supplemental draft EIS of December 2002. This supplemental draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative and the LRT alternative, which is the locally [preferred alternative (LPA). The Portland-Milwaukie Corridor constitutes part of the larger South/North Corridor and a subset of the South Corridor. The corridor is located in the Portland metropolitan area, which extends into southern Washington, connecting with the Vancouver metropolitan area. The Portland-Milwaukie Corridor includes the city of Milwaukie and much of southeast Portland and the Portland Central City, including the Central Business District, the South Waterfront District, and the Central Eastside Industrial District, all highly concentrated urban zones. The proposed Portland-Milwaukie LRT alternative would provide for a mostly double-tracked light rail between downtown Portland and Milwaukie, generally paralleling Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard to the east and terminating at either Southeast Lake Road or Southeast Park Avenue. The system would be served by 11 to 15 LRT stations. Bus network adjustments would include elimination and modification of bus routes that would duplicate LRT service and adjustment of routes to connect to LRT stations or transit centers. Three park-and-ride facilities, providing 1,475 to 2,600 spaces, would be integrated into the system. Streetcar alignments would be shifted to accommodate LRT along Southwest River Drive. Streetcar access would be provided to the new Willamette River bridge, and new bus routes would be provided to take advantage of the additional river crossing. The Ruby Junction Operations and Maintenance Facility would be expanded to accommodate 16 to 23 additional LRT vehicles. In addition to the proposed action, this draft supplemental EIS considers three 2003 LPA subalternatives and a No-Build Alternative and alternative locations for the LRT operations and maintenance facility. The 2003 LPA would provide for 6.4 miles of light rail served by 11 stations and a new bridge across the Willamette River. The LRT system would extend from a point near Portland State University at the southern end of downtown Portland, connecting with the Portland Mall light rail currently under construction at Southwest Fifth and Sixth avenues. The LPA would end in downtown Milwaukie at Southeast Lake Road. Depending on the alternative selected, the estimated costs of the LRT project range from $1.17 billion to $1.4 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide high-quality transit service along a major metropolitan transportation corridor, accommodate future population and economic growth patterns in the area, reduce traffic congestion and traffic infiltration through neighborhoods, and improve regional air quality. The newly considered alternative would result in no residential or commercial displacements. The project would result in a slight increase in long-term employment rolls. System energy requirements would decline slightly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for project would result in the displacement of 55 to 62 full properties, 64 to 82 partial properties, two to nine residences, 53 to 62 businesses, and 15 to 17 other uses; affect three or four historic sites, traverse five to eight areas characterized by a high probability for archaeological resource sites, and affect six existing and up to two planned urban parks. With respect to the natural environment the project would fill 0.57 acre of wetlands, require the relocation of 84,350 to 101,950 linear feet of stream, increase impervious surface in the area by approximately 30 acres, and displace approximately 11 acres of vegetation. Impacts to streams would include those resulting from relocation of 188 to 302 linear feet of stream providing habitat to federally protected fish species. The LRT system would traverse 3.2 to 4.2 acres of floodplain. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.)

[Part 2 of 4] T2 - SOUTH CORRIDOR: PORTLAND-MILWAUKIE LIGHT RAIL PROJECT, CLACKAMAS AND MULTNOMAH COUNTIES, OREGON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999). AN - 36383906; 13418-080180_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a light rail transit (LRT) system to serve downtown Portland, the city of Milwaukie, and north Clackamas County, Oregon is proposed. This draft supplement updates information contained in the South/North Corridor Project draft EIS of February 1998. The supplement also considers findings from the South Corridor supplemental draft EIS of December 2002. This supplemental draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative and the LRT alternative, which is the locally [preferred alternative (LPA). The Portland-Milwaukie Corridor constitutes part of the larger South/North Corridor and a subset of the South Corridor. The corridor is located in the Portland metropolitan area, which extends into southern Washington, connecting with the Vancouver metropolitan area. The Portland-Milwaukie Corridor includes the city of Milwaukie and much of southeast Portland and the Portland Central City, including the Central Business District, the South Waterfront District, and the Central Eastside Industrial District, all highly concentrated urban zones. The proposed Portland-Milwaukie LRT alternative would provide for a mostly double-tracked light rail between downtown Portland and Milwaukie, generally paralleling Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard to the east and terminating at either Southeast Lake Road or Southeast Park Avenue. The system would be served by 11 to 15 LRT stations. Bus network adjustments would include elimination and modification of bus routes that would duplicate LRT service and adjustment of routes to connect to LRT stations or transit centers. Three park-and-ride facilities, providing 1,475 to 2,600 spaces, would be integrated into the system. Streetcar alignments would be shifted to accommodate LRT along Southwest River Drive. Streetcar access would be provided to the new Willamette River bridge, and new bus routes would be provided to take advantage of the additional river crossing. The Ruby Junction Operations and Maintenance Facility would be expanded to accommodate 16 to 23 additional LRT vehicles. In addition to the proposed action, this draft supplemental EIS considers three 2003 LPA subalternatives and a No-Build Alternative and alternative locations for the LRT operations and maintenance facility. The 2003 LPA would provide for 6.4 miles of light rail served by 11 stations and a new bridge across the Willamette River. The LRT system would extend from a point near Portland State University at the southern end of downtown Portland, connecting with the Portland Mall light rail currently under construction at Southwest Fifth and Sixth avenues. The LPA would end in downtown Milwaukie at Southeast Lake Road. Depending on the alternative selected, the estimated costs of the LRT project range from $1.17 billion to $1.4 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide high-quality transit service along a major metropolitan transportation corridor, accommodate future population and economic growth patterns in the area, reduce traffic congestion and traffic infiltration through neighborhoods, and improve regional air quality. The newly considered alternative would result in no residential or commercial displacements. The project would result in a slight increase in long-term employment rolls. System energy requirements would decline slightly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for project would result in the displacement of 55 to 62 full properties, 64 to 82 partial properties, two to nine residences, 53 to 62 businesses, and 15 to 17 other uses; affect three or four historic sites, traverse five to eight areas characterized by a high probability for archaeological resource sites, and affect six existing and up to two planned urban parks. With respect to the natural environment the project would fill 0.57 acre of wetlands, require the relocation of 84,350 to 101,950 linear feet of stream, increase impervious surface in the area by approximately 30 acres, and displace approximately 11 acres of vegetation. Impacts to streams would include those resulting from relocation of 188 to 302 linear feet of stream providing habitat to federally protected fish species. The LRT system would traverse 3.2 to 4.2 acres of floodplain. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.)

AN - 16340687; 7660 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transit improvements in the metropolitan region of Portland in northern Oregon and Vancouver in southern Washington is proposed. The north/south transportation corridor includes the Clackamas Regional Center (CRC) area of unincorporated Clackamas County, a section of southeast Portland, Portland's central city, a section north/northeast of Portland, the city of Vancouver, other parts of Clark County in Washington, and the cities of Oregon City, Gladstone, and Milwaukie. Since 1980, the number of jobs and households along the corridor has been increasing at the rate of two to three percent annually. By the year 2015, the projected increases in travel miles will result in a 268 percent increase in the miles of congested roadways in the corridor and a 720 percent increase in the number of hours that drivers must sit in congested traffic. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS of February 1998 included a No-Build Alternative, four light-rail length alternatives, 16 light-rail alignment alternatives, and 22 light-rail design options. The length alternatives included a 21-mile, full-length alignment from the CRC to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver, a 17-mile alignment from the Milwaukie Marketplace to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver, a 12-mile alignment from the CRC to the Rose Quarter Transit Center, and a 15-mile alignment from the CRC to North Lombard Street in north Portland. Project capital costs were estimated to range from $748 million to $1.3 billion, depending on the alternative selected. A subsequent supplemental draft EIS considered a new Full-Interstate Avenue Alignment Alternative, which would provide 5.63 miles of new light rail track and nine new light rail stations. The alternative would operate on 1.46 miles of existing track between the Southwest Eleventh Avenue downtown and the Rose Quarter Transit Center, bringing the total length to 7.09 miles. The alternative forwarded as the preferred alternative in this final EIS would involve a 5.63-mile extension on track from the Rose Quarter to the Expo Center. The line would share 1.59 miles of the existing downtown light rail alignment with the east/west rail line, ending at the Eleventh Avenue turnaround. Ten new stations would be provided, along with two park-and-ride lots. Operation and maintenance would be handled through the expansion of the existing Ruby Junction Facility. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $350 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide high-quality transit service along a major metropolitan transportation corridor, accommodate future population and economic growth patterns in the area, reduce traffic congestion and traffic infiltration through neighborhoods, and improve regional air quality. The newly considered alternative would result in no residential or commercial displacements. The project would result in a slight increase in long-term employment rolls. System energy requirements would decline slightly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 0.76 acre of wetland and filling or spanning of 0.13 acre of non-wetland waters and require the placement of 7,956 cubic yards of fill within a floodplain.

AN - 36409497; 7649 AB - PURPOSE: The destruction of non-stockpile chemical warfare materiel (CWM) is proposed. Non-stockpile CWM is all CWM that is not part of the United States' unitary stockpile of CWM. Non-stockpile CWM must be destroyed in order to protect human health and safety, comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention, an international treaty, and carry out the requirements of the U.S. Congress. Non- stockpile CWM comprises a variety of munitions, containers, and facilities. However, only those non-stockpile CWM items that are munitions, containers, or chemical agent identification sets are under consideration. The CWM items considered in this statement are currently stored at military installations or may be recovered in the future from burial sites or test and firing ranges. The Army is developing four types of transportable chemical treatment systems that can be used to treat CWM items. The Army must now decide whether to complete the development of the treatment systems so that they can be available for field use to treat CWM items. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this programmatic EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the Army would complete the development of all four transportable treatment systems and make them available as required for use at sites to treat and process non- stockpile CWM. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The destruction of the non-stockpile CWM would achieve the goals of the Army to protect human health and safety and allow the United States to meet its international commitments with respect to CWM disarmament. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hazardous CWM substances could be released accidentally during activities at a treatment site or during associated transportation operations. Such releases, though highly unlikely, could have devastating effects on the natural environment and human health. Air pollutants would be generated by various activities associated with the establishment, operation, closure, and demobilization of transportable treatment systems. Site preparation and use could result in the disturbance or displacement of cultural and historic resources, soils, vegetation and other forms of terrestrial habitat, wetlands, and streams receiving runoff from site activities.

Preparation date: October 21, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LITTLE SNAKE SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36413053; 7644 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam and reservoir to provide late-season irrigation water to the Savery-Little Snake Water Conservancy District, located in southern Wyoming, is proposed. The normal appropriation of water for irrigation as per Wyoming Water Law is one cubic foot of water per second (cfs) for every 70 acres permitted. Wyoming statutes allow for the diversion of one additional cfs during times when sufficient flow exists to meet all other water rights. After investigation the minimum amount of water that should be supplied on a supplemental basis to supply crop needs during the late-season, WWDC established a minimum of 0.5 cfs per 70 acres. Supplemental water would be provided for a two-month (61 day) period, between July 15 and September 15. This rate converts to 0.864 AF of water per acre of irrigated land. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives would include the construction of a dam and reservoir on Savery Creek using one of two possible designs, the construction of a dam and reservoir on Dutch Joe Creek, and a conservation alternative involving changes in agricultural practices within the basin, improvements to irrigated lands, and the rehabilitation of existing structures facilitating irrigation activities. Depending on the dam alternative considered, the reservoirs would range in size from 330 to 482 acres at normal pool elevation; any reservoir alternative would supply 12,000 acre-feet of late-season irrigation water during an average of eight out of every ten years. Downstream flows would be reduced during the spring and increased in summer months. The applicant, the Wyoming Water Development Commission, has chosen a location on Savery Creek approximately 42 miles upstream of the Little Snake River, as the site for the dam and reservoir. The selected design would involve a dam and reservoir with a minimum pool. The reservoir would occupy 482 acres, contain 18,000 acre-feet of water at normal pool elevation. The reservoir would have a maximum depth of 130 feet. Water levels could change as much as 105 feet between May and October. The dead pool would have a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet. Reservoir storage would be sufficient to provide a minimum flow water release equal to the lesser of natural inflow or 12 cubic feet per second. The reservoir would stratify thermally during summer months; a multi-point release structure would allow water from different depths within the reservoir to be released. The estimated cost of the applicant's preferred alternative is $30.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the dam and reservoir would provide irrigation water for downstream agricultural uses. Increased summer base-flow in Savery Creek would improve habitat for trout, and the reservoir's minimum pool would be used by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department as a brood site for a state sensitive species, the Colorado River cutthroat trout, whose offspring would be used to enhance the species' population in the Little Snake River basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The average annual flow of the Little Snake River would be reduced by 10,800 acre-feet. Reservoir operation would interrupt the normal transportation of stream sediments and scour a portion of the stream bottom downstream of the dam. The salinity in the lower Little Snake River would increase. The 480-acre reservoir would inundate 8.4 miles of perennial stream, 16 acres of wetland, 52 acres of riparian shrubland, 482 acres of seasonal range for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope, and 11 cultural resource sites potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: October 20, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 20-BROADWAY FROM TRANSIT ROAD TO THE LANCASTER EAST VILLAGE LINE IN THE VILLAGES OF DEPEW AND LANCASTER (PIN 5111.41), ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK. AN - 36405988; 7643 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of two bridges and the associated roadway improvements along the US Route 20 (Broadway Road) corridor, located in the villages of Depew and Lancaster in western New York, is proposed. The project would involve the reconstruction of 2.2 miles of Broadway from Transit Road in the village of Depew to the eastern Lancaster Village line. The project would also include the reconstruction of 0.3 mile of New York Route 78/Transit Road from Cayuga Creek to a point between Terrace Boulevard and Gould Avenue in Depew. The improvements would address safety deficiencies, pavement and bridge deficiencies, poor drainage, and highway segments and intersections that exceed capacity. Areas of controversy would include the removal of mature trees along the roadway corridor and the potential change in village atmosphere as a result of widening the roadway. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The build alternatives would include the full- depth reconstruction and geometric improvements of Broadway and Transit roads, and the replacement of two bridges over Cayuga Creek, the existing drainage system, traffic control devices, curbs, and sidewalks. The build alternatives would differ primarily in terms of the lane configurations selected for different portions of Broadway Road. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), the project would involve the construction of a four-lane pavement road from Transit Road to Penora Street, a five-lane pavement road from Penora Street to Irwinwood Road, a three-lane pavement road from Irwinwood Road to Aurora Street, a four-lane pavement road from Aurora Street to Central Avenue, and a three-lane pavement road from Central Avenue to the East Village Line of Lancaster. The construction of the project would require 2.0 to 2.5 years. The estimated costs of rights-of-way acquisition and construction are $1.35 million and $15.1 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The roadway and bridge reconstruction would reduce traffic congestion in the area and improve traffic safety. The project would also contribute to local and regional economic development, which has been hindered by the lack of adequate highway facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Thirteen of the structures along Broadway in the village of Lancaster are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places; the preferred alternative would not directly affect any structure but would alter their surroundings. The build alternatives would not directly affect any of these structures, but would adversely affect their setting. Three commercial and residential buildings would be displaced. A number of mature trees would be lost. Peak hour noise levels would increase up to two decibels. One hazardous waste disposal site would lie within the project rights-of-way.

AN - 16352684; 7639 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an eight-mile segment of US 95, located in northern Idaho, is proposed. US 95, which extends from Canada to the Mexican border near Yuma, Arizona, is Idaho's major north-south highway. The project area is located 62 miles south of the Canadian border near the town of Sandpoint; the area lies at the foot of the Selkirk Mountains and is bisected by the Pend Oreille Lake/River complex. Traffic along US 95 is currently operating at a level of service rating of F within Sandpoint and a level of E outside of town. Traffic problems result from a heavy volume of truck traffic, inadequately designed intersections, 90-degree turning requirements, and poor traffic flow structures within the town. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Sand Creek Two-Lane Alternative), the improvement would involve the construction of 9.3 miles of four-lane highway on existing alignment, and two miles of a new alignment adjacent to Sand Creek and the Burlington Northern Railroad depot. This interchange/bridge structure would be 2,850 feet long and two lanes wide. Long Bridge would be widened from two to four lanes. Under the Through Town Couplet Alternative, the improvement would involve the reconstruction of 10 miles of highway on existing alignment, the upgrade of the existing two-lane highway to four or five lanes depending on the approach requirements, the widening of Long Bridge from two to four lanes, the provision of a bicycle and pedestrian path, and the implementation of curve reductions and other street improvements along a one-mile stretch of the north and southbound routes in town. The estimated costs of the Through Town Couplet Alternative and the Sand Creek Two-Lane Alternative are $45.3 million and $52.8 million, respectively. The respective benefit-cost ratios are 10.9 and 6.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With the highway improvements, the level of service rating for US 95 should improve to a rating of C within the project area. The facility would be able to accommodate both through and local traffic. The improvement would reduce the risk of accidents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the Through Town Couplet Alternative, historic resources and hazardous materials sites could be adversely affected. The level of service for the greatest number of vehicles would improve but a non-stop facility would not be provided for through traffic. Under the Sand Creek Two-Lane Alternative, the historic railroad depot, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, would be displaced. The Sand Creek structure would create a visual obtrusion as it passes along the banks of the creek between the central business district and the city beach. Under this alternative, local traffic volumes would not be effectively accommodated, and traffic congestion in Sandpoint would further deteriorate.

Preparation date: October 18, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PUGET SOUND CONFINED DISPOSAL SITE, WASHINGTON. AN - 36406329; 7632 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to provide confined disposal capacity for contaminated sediments from the Puget Sound, located in western Washington, is proposed. The study area encompasses the entire upland Puget Sound basin from the Canadian border to 35 miles south of Olympia and eastward to the Cascade Range foothills as well as the entirety of Puget Sound and waters north to the international border. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives would include contained aquatic disposal and level bottom capping, nearshore confined disposal, upland confined disposal, solid waste landfill disposal, multi-user access to large privately developed confined disposal facilities, sediment treatment, and combinations of the alternatives. For each action alternative, a conceptual design was developed and both 500,000-cubic-yard (cy) and 2.0- million-cy facilities were considered. Each facility was assumed to be operational (i.e., capable of accepting contaminated dredged material) for a period of 10 years. It is noted, however, that other realistic design and operational options would be available. Though no preferred alternative is identified, it is highly likely that the combination alternative would be the most realistic. The No Action alternative is not considered an acceptable alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of facilities to dispose of contaminated dredge spoil removed from Puget Sound waterways would insure the safe disposal of wastes that would otherwise be released into the water column, degrading water quality and threatening aquatic organisms. The safe disposal of such wastes would allow for the continued maintenance of navigation within the sound, supporting economic activities depending on waterborne transport in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and disposal would result in the short-term exposure of biota to suspended solids, reduced dissolved oxygen, dissolved contaminants, and/or particulate contaminants. The catastrophic failure of confined disposal facilities could result in the mass release of contaminants. The use of upland disposal facilities could result in the release of contaminants into groundwater tables.

Preparation date: October 15, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ALLIGATOR CHAIN AND LAKE GENTRY EXTREME DRAWDOWN AND HABITAT ENHANCEMENT PROJECT, OSCEOLA COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36408292; 7627 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain of Lakes and Lake Gentry for the purpose of aquatic habitat enhancement, located in central Florida, is proposed. The project area is located near the city of Saint Cloud, approximately 50 miles southeast of the city of Orlando. The Alligator Chain of Lakes and Lake Gentry are connected by a series of canals allowing water flow and navigation between the lakes. The South Florida Water Management District operates water control structures S-58 to the north and S-60 to the south to maintain flood protection around the lakes. Prior to the construction of the Central and South Florida (C&SF) Project Works, ecological processes in and around the lakes depended on the climatic cycle of flood and drought. Extreme water fluctuations were a vital component in sustaining high quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat. the C&SF Project authorized purposes and regulation schedules have lead to a narrow restriction of the range in which water levels of the lakes can fluctuate. This long-term stabilization of water levels has resulted in conditions favorable to the dense growth of nuisance vegetation that would eventually preclude use of the lake shallows by fish, wading birds, wildlife, and the public. During the drawdown, bottom sediments would dry and compact, stimulating growth of desirable aquatic vegetation, thereby improving habitat quality for fish and wildlife. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4, also known as the Lake Gentry Postponement Alternative)), Alligator Lake would be lowered to 60 feet and lower Lake Gentry would be lowered to 59 feet. The modifications to lake levels would begin in October of the first calendar year. The Alligator Chain of Lakes' regulation schedule would remain at its summer pool level of 63 feet through October and into November. On November 14th, the extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain of Lakes would begin. The lake levels would be lowered to and held at approximately 60 feet until June of the second calendar year, when refilling would begin. Lake Gentry's regulation schedule would remain at its summer pool level of 61 feet through October and into November of the first calendar year. On November 10th, the extreme drawdown of Lake Gentry would begin. Lake Gentry would be lowered to and held at approximately 56.5 feet until June of the second calendar year, when refilling would begin. Associated structural measures and muck removal would be accomplished. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would restore the fish and wildlife habitat within the lake to more productive conditions, benefiting wildlife and fish, including the endangered snail kite, and the recreationists. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drawdown would interfere temporarily with recreational and navigational uses of the lakes and result in some short-term losses in overall productivity of the ecosystem. Some loss of desirable vegetation would occur during the drawdown.

AN - 16347285; 7626 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of long-term water supply contracts associated with use of the waters of the Republican River basin, located in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska, is proposed. The contracts were concluded between the Bureau of Land Management and five irrigation districts, namely, Frenchman-Cambridge, Frenchman Valley, and Bostwick irrigation districts in Nebraska and Bostwick Number 2 and Almena irrigation districts in Kansas. 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. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the Multi-Use Alternative) would extend the contracts for four years. The alternative would also provide for continued irrigation with specified water conservation practices, increased minimum pool elevations needed for boat ramps at Harry Strunk Lake of 2,349 feet above mean sea level (MSL) (13,600 acre-feet (af)) and at Hugh Banker Lake of 2,547 feet above MSL (17,700 af), no change from the No Action Alternative in minimum pool elevations at Enders Reservoir and Harland County Lake, no minimum pool elevations specifically for maintenance and enhancement of reservoirs riparian vegetation, and increased minimum pool elevations recommended by Nebraska for fisheries at Swanson Lake and by Kansas for fisheries at Keith Sebelius Lake of 2,735 feet above mean sea level (MSL) (45,200 af) and 2,284 feet above MSL (7,700 af), respectively. 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. This 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. The bioaccumulation of selenium would pose a potential hazard for aquatic species. The 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Act of 1956.

AN - 36418116; 7612 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and water resource management plan to benefit wildlife habitat in the Reelfoot Lake area, located in northwestern Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky, is proposed. The study area lies, which encompasses approximately 33,000 acres, east of the Mississippi River approximately 120 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee and six miles east of Tiptonville, Tennessee. Reelfoot Lake covers approximately 15,500 acres at a pool elevation of 282.3 feet National Geodetic Veridical Datum. The lake is a nationally significant and unique natural resource, constituting the largest natural freshwater lake in Tennessee and one of the largest in the country. The lake provides nesting and feeding habitat for the bald eagle, a threatened species, as well as one of the most productive fisheries in the area. Located on the Mississippi Flyway, the lake is used extensively by waterfowl, as recognized by international and regional authorities. Flood control and drainage improvements in the basin have dramatically impacted the quality of fish and wildlife habitat. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were investigated in detail and are presented as a final array of alternatives in this final EIS. Under the recommended plan, the project would involve the construction of an alternative spillway, bridge, inlet and outlet channels, and circulation channels for Reelfoot Lake as well as the construction of a sediment basin on Reelfoot Creek, the restoration of Shelby Lake, creation of waterfowl management units, and the improvement of the Lake Isom National Wildlife Refuge. The plan would also include implementation of a dynamic water level management plan for Reelfoot Lake designed to improve aquatic habitat in the lake. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $27.8 million, and the estimated average annual cost is $2.5 million. The estimated fully-funded cost of the plan is $32.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the plan would protect and enhance wildlife habitat within two national wildlife refuges, a state wildlife management area, and a state park. Full implementation would produce 1,469 terrestrial habitat unit values, 4,414 aquatic habitat unit values and 6.3 million waterfowl habitat unit values annually. A gradual increase in recreation-related commerce would result as the lake responds to a desirable water level management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The direct construction impacts to woodlands and wetlands would adversely affect 40 acres of these habitats, but these impacts would be offset by habitat gained by each feature. Slightly higher winter water levels could adversely affect cropland in Kentucky. Approximately 935 acres of farmland would be acquired, but 360 acres would be leased back to area farmers.

AN - 36412646; 7618 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 study area includes the existing 100-year floodplain and stretches from its downstream (northwestern) limit at 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 at Alessandro Road, which lies in the city of Redlands. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft 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 implementation would also include parapet walls along a portion of Reach 3A, soil cement side slopes, an inlet structure, a maintenance access road and trail easement, access ramps, an environmental corridor, limited fencing, the replacement of Beaumont Avenue Bridge, utility relocations, side drain connections, and two recreational areas. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the project would incorporate 18 sediment basins and drop structures. The two other action alternatives include Alternative E, which 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, and the Authorized Plan, which would involve the construction of eight in-channel sediment storage basins within the upstream area transitioning to an outlet spillway and rectangular channel under San Timoteo Canyon Road as well as a concrete channel extending 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. The alternative 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 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 displace 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 impact 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. The project activities would take place in an area known to contain abundant paleontological resources.

AN - 16348614; 7617 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water resources management plan, including flood control and irrigation components, for the Tule River basin, located in south- central California, is proposed. The basin is located in the southeast portion of the San Joaquin Valley, the river flowing naturally from the Sierra Nevadas westward to Tulare lakebed. This EIS was undertaken to determine the feasibility of providing increased flood protection to the downstream area, including the city of Porterville, other urban areas, and agricultural land, and of providing increased upstream storage for irrigation water supply. Success Dam and Lake, constructed in 1961, are operated for flood control and storage of irrigation water. Recreational facilities are also available at the lake. The dam is located on the Tule River approximately six miles east of Porterville. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the project would involve raising the elevation of the dam spillway 10 feet and widening the spillway from 200 to 265 feet. Project modifications would provide for an additional 28,000 acre-feet of flood storage capacity and irrigation water supply storage at Success Lake. Flood control storage would protect downstream areas against the 100-year flood. The operations of the dam and reservoir would follow lines similar to those currently in place. The estimated cost of the selected plan is $13.5 million, with an average annual cost of $1.3 million and a benefit-cost ratio of 1.21. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood control and irrigation benefits provided by the additional storage capacity would be worth $529,000 on an average annual basis. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recreational facilities currently associated with Rule and Rock Hill recreation areas would be inundated periodically, and the State Highway 190 bridge over the South Fork of the Tule River would be partially inundated on a period basis due to the raised gross pool; this would require that the bridge be refurbished after each inundation. Utilities, including power transmission lines, would have to be relocated. Approximately 71 acres of riparian forest, 167 acres of Atriplex grassland, 421 acres of annual grassland, and 10 oak trees at Success Lake would be adversely affected by new lake levels. Approximately 867 acres of intermittent seasonal habitat would be affected in the Tulare lakebed. Mitigation measures would include the creation and management of 82 acres of riparian forest, 150 acres of Atriplex grassland, 421 acres of annual grassland, and 247 acres of seasonal habitat, and the planting of 100 oak trees near Success Lake.

AN - 16340626; 7610 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to control flooding of the Lackawanna River in the metropolitan Scranton area, located in northeastern Pennsylvania, is proposed. Flooding has been a problem in numerous locations within the 454- square-mile Lackawanna River basin, and major floods occurred in 1942, 1955, 1985, and 1996. Three of the major flood damage centers in Scranton are the Plot, Green Ridge, and Park Place (Albright Avenue) communities. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplement to the draft EIS of February 1999. Only one alternative would be economically viable for the Albright Avenue community; this alternative, a 100- year levee design, has already been authorized and is not covered in detail in the EIS. This project would be combined with 100-year levee and floodwall plans for the Plot and Green Ridge communities. The Plot project would involve approximately 5,900 linear feet of levee and floodwall. Closure structures would be constructed at the Sanderson Avenue Bridge, Parker Street Bridge, and across the D&H Railroad crossing at Alpha Street at the upstream end of the project. Approximately 15 interior drainage structures would be placed at various locations throughout Plot. The Green Ridge project would involve 7,830 linear feet of levee and combined levee and floodwall. Closure structures would be constructed at the Albright Avenue, Green Ridge Street, and East Market Street bridges. A closure structure would also be placed at Glen Street. Approximately 18 interior drainage structures would be included in the project. The average annual costs for the Plot, Green Ridge, and Albright Avenue projects are $1.32 million, $1.64 million, and $1.58 million, respectively. The respective estimated benefit-cost ratios for the projects are 1.64, 0.66, and 3.63. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of flood protection would generally maintain and enhance safety and long-term economic productivity within the protected areas. Once the levees were in place, the floodplain would be redelineated, resulting in a potential decrease in flood insurance costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The combined levee and floodwall construction would permanently displace approximately 37.8 acres and temporarily displace three acres within construction easements. The construction activities would require the relocation, modification, or termination of various water, combined sewer, gas, electric, and telephone lines. Approximately 15.6 acres of land would be acquired outright and 1.1 acres via temporary easement for the Plot component of the project, while the Green Ridge component would require the acquisition of 22.2 acres outright and the acquisition of 1.9 acres via temporary easement. Private residences and businesses would be displaced as a result of the land acquisition requirements. Residual flooding would continue to occur in some areas. The construction of the Green Ridge levee would adversely affect the S.E.

The case study is presented to highlight the value and application of a conceptual integration of economic, salmonid population, physical habitat, and water allocation models. Five alternative regimes, all intended to increase low winter flows, were investigated. Habitat enhancements created by alternative regimes were translated to population responses and economic benefits. Analysis concluded that instream flows cannot compete on the northern Colorado water rental market; cooperative agreements offer an economically feasible way to enhance instream flows; and establishing an instream flow program on the Cache la Poudre River mainstem is a potentially profitable opportunity. The alliance of models is a dynamic multidisciplinary tool for use in professional settings and offers valuable insight for decision-making processes involved in water management.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Moist-Soil Impoundments for Wetland Wildlife AN - 14584957; 10609650 AB - The use of moist-soil impoundments, shallow water areas impounded by levees, is effective for managing waterfowl habitat in areas of declining wetland acreage. Management techniques promote production of naturally occurring wetland vegetation by emulating natural wetland functions. Guidelines for the design and construction of moist-soil impoundments are compiled, covering desirable site characteristics, levee construction and placement, water delivery systems, and control structures. Recommendations are offered for managing impoundments as single structures or as complexes of smaller units, and strategies are detailed for the control of undesirable vegetation and to manage impoundments for the benefit of a diversity of wildlife species.

AN - 36405659; 7604 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of 5.9 miles of State Trunk Highway (STH) 131 between the unincorporated community of Rockton and the village of Ontario, located in southwestern Wisconsin, is proposed. From Rockton south, STH 131 has already been reconstructed on a new alignment in connection with the partially completed LaFarge Dam project. From the center of Ontario north, a portion of STH 131 has also been rebuilt on new right-of-way located so as to bypass most of the built- up area of the community. The portion of STH 131 currently under consideration passes through Wildcat Mountain State Park southeast of Ontario. It provides primary access to the park from the north and south, resulting in a conflicting mix of through and park traffic. The average travel speed on this section of STH 131 is 38.1 miles per hour (mph) compared to 55.1 mph on the improved section from Rockton to LaFarge. Traffic on STH 131 is projected to increase from 380 vehicles per day (vpd) at the present date to 1,478 vpd in the year 2010. Six substandard bridges and one temporary bridge serve the facility. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would provide two 12-foot lanes with six-foot shoulders and, for the most part, with grades and curves designed to current arterial highway standards. The project would include the replacement of seven bridges. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing speed of travel and separating through and park traffic, the project would complement existing improvements to STH 131 north and south of the study area. The separation of conflicting traffic would reduce accident rates within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of 84.9 acres of rights-of-way would displace four residences, 48.3 acres of farmland, 15.3 acres of wetlands, 9.1 acres of upland forest, and four historic bridges.

AN - 36404128; 7600 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and relocation of County Road (CR) 22 (Mill Hill Road and Glen Road), including a new bridge over the East Branch of the Ausable River, located in northeastern New York, are proposed. Two main branches of the Ausable River are situated in the Western part of Essex County. These two branches unite at the hamlet of Ausable Forks, approximately six miles North of the hamlet of Jay. The principal river that drains the town of Jay is the Eastern Branch of the Ausable River, also referred to as the Little Ausable River, which flows East of Jay. The eastern branch of the Ausable River is susceptible to heavy flooding, major ice flows, and jams. The floodplain in the vicinity of the project is quite wide. In May of 1997, the existing covered bridge was found to be unsafe for public use and was closed by Essex County to all traffic. A temporary bridge was opened in July 1997 to maintain traffic. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Reconstruction Alternative would involve geometric improvements to CR 22 and the construction of a river crossing. Two alignments are also under consideration. The 120 Meters (400 feet) Downstream Alignment Option would involve the realignment of CR 22 from a point south of the Howard Drive intersection that would run east of the existing alignment and intersect State Route (SR) 9N approximately 500 feet east of the present SR 9N/SR 86/CR 22 intersection. Approximately 0.6 mile of two-lane roadway would be constructed on new alignment, along with a 375-foot bridge. The 430 Meters (1400 feet) Upstream Alignment Option would involve the realignment of CR 22 from a point south of the Howard Drive intersection that would run west of the existing alignment and intersect State Route (SR) 9N approximately 1500 feet west of the present SR 9N/SR 86/CR 22 intersection. Approximately 0.4 mile of two-lane roadway would be constructed on new alignment. The estimated costs of the 120 Meter Alternative and the 430 Meter Alternative are $4.47 million and $3.76 million, respectively. The estimated rights-of-way acquisition costs of the 120 Meter Alternative and the 430 Meter Alternative are $234,000 and $210,000, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an adequate level of service for the affected stretch of CR 22, reduce or eliminate through traffic within parkland, facilitate truck traffic, and provide for dependable emergency access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition and development of 4.7 to 9.6 acres of rights-of-way would displace seven to 15 properties, respectively.

Preparation date: September 28, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE DEPLOYMENT, SELECTION OF POSSIBLE DEPLOYMENT SITES, ALASKA AND NORTH DAKOTA. AN - 36422175; 7596 AB - PURPOSE: The deployment of a national missile defense (NMD) program, located in Alaska or North Dakota, is considered. The proposed purpose of the NMD would be the defense of the U.S. against a threat of a limited strategic ballistic missile attack from a so-called rogue nation. The NMD system would be a fixed, land-based, non-nuclear missile defense system with a land- and space-based detection system which would respond to limited strategic ballistic missile threats to the U.S. The potential sites in Alaska include Clear Air Station (AS) in Denali Borough, Eareckson AS on Shemya Island, Eielson Air Force Base (AFB) in Fairbanks North Star Borough, Fort Greely in Fort Greely, and Yukon Training Area in Fairbanks North Star Borough. Potential sites in North Dakota include Cavalier AS in Pembina County, Grand Forks AFB in Grand Forks County, Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex (SRMSC) Missile Site Radar in Cavalier County, SRMSC Remote Sprint Launch Site 1 in Ramsey County, SRMSC Remote Sprint Launch Site 2 in Cavalier County, and SRMSC Remote Sprint Launch Site 4 in Walsh County. The key issues identified during the scoping include airspace restrictions from X- band radar (XBR) operation; safety 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, increases in restricted public use around NMD deployment sites, and construction and operation impacts on vegetable, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, wetlands, and fisheries. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would not deploy the NMD system, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would deploy the NMD. The system's main elements would include a GBI, a battle management command and control system, an in-flight interceptor communications system, XBR, and fiber optic lines and utilities that link the other components of the system. 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 the potential sites under consideration for NMD deployment, the No Action Alternative would be a continuation of activities currently occurring or planned at those locations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The NMD system would help protect the nation against non-nuclear missile attack. The construction and operation of the missile system would provide economic benefit to the surrounding regions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of NMD facilities would displace land, possibly including wetlands which would adversely affect vegetation and wildlife. Depending on the site chosen, permafrost and soils, historic resources, and archaeological resources could also be adversely affected. In the event of a liquid propellant leak, hazardous materials would be released into the environment, possibly causing a public health and safety risk. Prairie potholes would lie in the path of some of the fiber optic cables in North Dakota. The construction of fiber optic facilities during harvesting times for communities and subsistence users could interfere with fishery harvesting activities. There would also be the potential for adverse effects on several threatened and endangered species. Anadromous fish streams could be adversely affected by trenching and/or construction occurring nearby. With the deployment of the XBR, there would be a potential safety risk to aircraft airborne systems and fly-by-wire aircraft out to 6.7 kilometers (3.6 nautical miles) from the deployment site; the risk would be minimized through the establishment of a high-energy radiation area warning on aeronautical charts.

AN - 36419029; 7599 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of channel improvement throughout the Port of New York and New Jersey, located in southeastern New York and northeastern New Jersey, is proposed. The channel improvements would be undertaken to meet the changing trend toward larger cargo vessels in the world fleet. The 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. This following channels are analyzed: Ambrose, Anchorage, Bay Ridge, Red Hook, Buttermilk, the Kill Van Kull, Claremont, Port Jersey, Newark Bay (including the Elizabeth and South Elizabeth channels), and the channel connecting Arthur Kill to Gulfport, as well as the anchorage areas at Stepelton, Red Hook Flats, and Gravesend Bay. Several structural and non-structural alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan would provide for navigation improvements affecting nine 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 development, and berth deepening. Rock blasting as well as dredging would be required. A wide variety of alternatives for disposal of dredged material would be considered. 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. Non-structural and structural alternatives are also under consideration. 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. The navigation improvements would disturb existing channel habitat and change some shallow areas to deeper habitat. The recommended plan would disturb 6.27 acres of littoral zone habitat. Of this total, 3.23 acres would lie in the Arthur Kill near Howland Hook, 2.73 acres adjacent to the Newark Bay channel, 0.25 acres south of Port Elizabeth Channel, and 0.06 acres in Kill Van Kull. Losses of sublittoral habitat would include 0.12 acres in the Bay Ridge and Red Hook channels, 12.35 acres in the Jersey Flats near Port Jersey, 1.41 acres in the Kill Van Kull, 3.21 acres in Arthur Kill near Howland Hook, 7.89 acres in Newark Bay, 15.84 acres south of Port Elizabeth, and 1.42 acres south of Port Elizabeth Channel. Slight increases in salinity and decreases in dissolved oxygen levels would result from the channel deepening.

Preparation date: September 24, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AUGUSTA RIVER CROSSING STUDY (PIN 556.11, STP-0556(11)), KENNEBEC COUNTY, MAINE. AN - 36406789; 7637 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of third bridge across the Kennebec River in the city of Augusta, located in southwestern Maine, is proposed. The city is centrally located within Maine and serves as a regional transportation hub, with nine major highways intersecting in the heart of the city and the Maine Turnpike/Interstate 95 (I-95) circumventing its western edge. The city is bisected by the Kennebec River. Two existing bridges, the Father Curran Bridge and the Memorial Bridge, like the east and west sides of town. These highways and bridges accommodate local traffic, regional commuters, tourists, and commercial truck traffic in every increasing numbers. The annual average daily traffic crossing the Kennebec River increased from 36,000 vehicles in 1975 to 50,000 vehicles in 1995. A similar rate of growth is expected over the next 20 to 30 years. Seven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Only Alternative A, which would incorporate two options, and Alternative B are considered in detail. Alternative A Option 1 would involve the construction of a 3.58-mile limited access highway, a bridge north of Augusta, and an interchange with I-95 just north of the Old Belgrade Road overpass. The highway would provide four travel lanes west of Route 201 and two lanes from Route 201 to the terminus at Routes 202/3 near the Cony/Churchill Road intersection. The only access to the highway would be at I-95 and Routes 104, 201, and 202/3. The current Route 3 state highway designation that begins at the intersection of US 202 and US 201 would be recommended to be relocated to this new corridor alternative and extend to the new I-95 interchange. Alternative A Option 2 would extend 3.45 miles and follow an alignment not unlike that for Option 1 on the west side of the river. The Option 2 alignment would turn in a slightly more southerly direction as it crosses the river and shirts the southwestern edge of the Tree Free sludge water site rather than the northern edge. The Option 2 alignment would terminate at the same location as Option 1 and provide the same lane configuration and conditions for access control. This corridor would be recommended as the new Route 3. Alternative B would begin at the same location on I-95 as the Alternative A options, but would intersect Route 104 at a more southerly location. Alternative B would cross the Kennebec River at a point just south of Savage Park, intersect Route 201, and terminate at Routes 202/3 in the vicinity of Fort Western Tire. The lane configuration and conditions for access control are the same as those under the Alternative A options. The estimated costs of Alternative A Option 1, Alternative A Option 2, and Alternative B are $33.7 million, $31.4 million, and $29.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing overall capacity of facilities crossing the Kennebec River, the project would reduce congestion on the crossings, improve safety, ease emergency access, and promote neighborhood integrity and economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, the rights-of-way requirements would displace five to 10 residences, possibly one business, and 1.72 to 5.12 acres of wetland. The highway would traverse 1.1 to 6.1 acres of significant sand and gravel aquifers, five to 10 perennial streams, one to four archaeological sites, possibly one historic site and one public water well, and three hazardous materials sites. From 772,000 to 910,000 square feet of impervious surface would be created. The project could adversely affect one federally-listed protected species and three state-listed species. Noise levels would exceed federal standards within four or five noise service areas.

AN - 36420845; 7593 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of Phalen Boulevard on a new 2.6-mile alignment from Interstate 35E (I-35E) to Johnson Parkway, located in the city of Saint Paul in eastern Minnesota, is proposed. The roadway, which would traverse a portion of the city's East Side, would connect Johnson Parkway at the planned intersection of Prosperity Avenue, just south of Maryland Avenue, with I-35E at a point near Pennsylvania Avenue. The roadway would be located within a largely unused or underutilized railroad corridor, part of which is currently owned by the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. Nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and a Transportation System Management Alternative, were considered in this draft EIS. This final EIS includes only revisions to the draft EIS and ancillary documentation. The facility would include a four-lane section between I-35E and Arcade Street and a two-lane section between Arcade Street and Johnson Parkway. Phalen Boulevard would be an at-grade facility, with intersections and driveways serving industrial development sites located along much of its length. The railroad right-of-way is depressed below the surrounding land between I-35E and Earl Street. Phalen Boulevard would pass under six existing bridges between Burr Street and Earl Street. Due to the difference in elevation between the boulevard and the existing street system, connections between the reconstructed roadway and local streets would require the construction of short roadways between the two levels at critical locations. The preferred alternative would include the reconstruction of I-35E between I-94 and Maryland Avenue and the replacement of the existing Pennsylvania Avenue interchange with a new interchange at Cayuga Street. The estimated cost of the project is $81.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing improved access to current residences and businesses within the Phalen corridor, the project would serve as a catalyst for additional development in the corridor which would, in turn, enhance employment opportunities for corridor residents, increase income in the corridor, stabilize the neighborhoods, and enhance the East Side environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development could result in the relocation of a portion of Gateway Trail, adverse effects to Westminster Junction Historic District and Hamms Brewery Historic District, and some disruption of neighborhood character. Project works could encounter hazards waste materials sites and would require the relocation of businesses and residents properties. Traffic noise would exceed federal standards at numerous sites.

Preparation date: September 22, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ALAMO LAKE REOPERATION AND ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION FEASABILITY STUDY, LA PAZ AND MOHAVE COUNTIES, ARIZONA. AN - 36415125; 7586 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of environmental restoration activities, with incidental recreational benefits, at Lake Alamo and along the Bill Williams River, located in central-western Arizona, is proposed. Alamo Lake is located on the border of La Paz and Mohave counties on the Bill Williams River, 39 miles upstream of its confluence with the Colorado River at Lake Havasu. Alamo Dam, completed in July 1968, was authorized to provide flood control for lower Colorado River communities downstream of the Parker Dan as well as downstream flood protection along the Bill Williams River corridor. Major problems specific to the study areas include the degradation of riparian habitat along the Bill Williams River and at Alamo Lake, the underutilization of recreational opportunities in the affected area, and the underutilization of available water conservation storage space. The river contains the last extensive native riparian woodland habitat within the lower Colorado River system. However, much of the native riparian community has been lost or severely degraded since the construction of the dam due to the resultant reduction in downstream flow. The altered water regime has severely stressed existing native vegetation, prevented natural recruitment of cottonwoods, and allowed native vegetation to be extensively replaced by non- native salt cedar, the latter having little habitat value. The optimal water regime would combine sufficient base flows with large spring pulse flows and monsoon storm events. Base flows which would minimally support existing riparian vegetation would consist of flows in the range of 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 50 cfs. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the selected plan, Alamo Lake levels would be managed for a target elevation of 1,125 feet. If storm events raised the lake above this elevation, water would be released rapidly to return the lake to the target elevation. When the lake elevation fell below 1,125 feet, water would only be released to meet maintenance base flows in the Bill Williams River and to satisfy downstream water rights. Large releases would not be made to accommodate flood events until lake elevations exceeded 1,125 feet. The plan would require no additional construction, land acquisition, easement purchases, disposal areas, relocations, or other alterations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would restore a properly functioning riparian ecosystem by implementing a flow regime that mimics the natural pattern of historic pre-dam flows. The plan would provide increased habitat values while maintaining existing flood control benefits and increasing recreational opportunities. Habitat value in the study area would increase by 135 habitat units as compared to the No-Action Alternative. Releases with higher peaks would probably reduce the number of occasions at which the reservoir elevation exceeded 1,135 feet, thereby reducing the possibility of the inundation of bald eagle nests located in the area should the eagles return to nest sites within the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would negligibly increase evaporative losses due to increase in the lake surface area. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-611).

AN - 36414948; 7592 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Airport Parkway/Mississippi 25 (MS 25) Connectors, located in the south-central Mississippi, is proposed. Extensive development along MS 25 and the completion of the Jackson International Airport have greatly increased traffic levels in the corridor. Areas of concern include cultural resources, wetlands, floodplains, water quality, threatened and endangered species, public lands and wildlife resources, noise, air quality, potential hazardous waste sites, residential and business displacement, economic development potential, utilities, and traffic. Eight alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. All build alternatives would involve the construction of the connectors on new alignments. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the Airport Parkway, a limited-access freeway facility, would begin at the existing intersection of High Street and Interstate 55 (I-55) and extend eastward, crossing the Pearl River, for approximately 4.3 kilometers (2.6 miles) to its eastern terminus with Old Brandon and Airport Road (MS 475), south of the Jackson International Airport. The MS 25 Connector would begin at a point approximately 4.2 kilometers (2.6 miles) east of the western terminus of the Airport Parkway Connector, from which point it would proceed northeasterly for approximately 6.4 kilometers (4.0 miles) terminating at MS 25 (Lakeland Drive) within the community of Luckney. The total length of both connectors would be 14.9 kilometers (9.3 miles). A transportation system management alternative and a multimodal alternative are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the operational efficiency and accessibility of the transportation system in the central and eastern portions of the Jackson metropolitan area, particularly with respect to access to the Jackson Municipal Airport. The additional crossing of the Pearl River, provided by the project, would provide needed relief to MS 25, Flowood Drive (MS 468), US 80, and I-20. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would result in the potential relocation of five single-family dwellings, two mobile homes, two commercial structures, and one nonprofit organization (Junior Achievement of Mississippi). Noise levels at 16 occupied facilities would approach or exceed federal standards. The project would encroach on the 100-year floodplain of the Pearl River, though the encroachment would not be longitudinal in nature and floodplain areas would continue to function at current levels. Approximately 31.1 hectares (76.9 acres) of wetlands would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: September 21, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NICORE MINING PLAN OF OPERATIONS, SISKIYOU NATIONAL FOREST, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36414275; 7578 AB - PURPOSE: The mining of nickel laterite on National Forest System lands administered by the Illinois Valley Ranger District of the Siskiyou National Forest, located in southwestern Oregon, is proposed. An ore drying and stockpile site is also proposed on lands administered by the Medford District of Bureau of Land Management. The project area occupies 24 square miles within the Rough and Ready Creek Watershed, a tributary of the Illinois River. Portions of the area are within the South Kalmiopsis Roadless Area, an area known for its botanical diversity and rare plants. The issues identified during the scoping process include the risks of sediment delivery and toxic spills, Port-Orford-cedar root disease, and the spread of noxious weeds; and the effects of mining on endangered and threatened fish species, scenic quality, recreation, and people living near the haul roads. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft EIS. This draft supplemental EIS considers the action proposed in the draft EIS, a No Action Alternative, and six new alternatives. The applicant's proposed action would involve the mining of about 3.5 acres per year over a ten-year period. Each excavation site would be cleared of all organic material and topsoil. The highest grade laterite would be excavated, screened, and loaded on trucks. The 14-mile haul route would use existing roads as much as possible. About 7.5 miles of road would be reconstructed (widened and surfaced) and about 0.5 miles would be newly constructed. Borrow material would be used to fill and widen some portions of the access route. The haul route would make six crossings of the main stem of Rough and Ready Creek and ten crossings of perennial tributaries. The estimated production rate would require 15 to 20 round trips per day. The currently preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would allow the sampling of four mine sites. Approximately 0.5 acres within the sites would be disturbed to remove up to 5,000 tons of ore. No significant road improvements would be approved. The applicant could used the access routes set out in its proposed action to walk tracked vehicles (such as backhoes) to the mine sites, but some equipment would have to be flown to the mine sites. Access routes would not be developed for ore haul or other motor vehicles. Sampled ore would be hauled in helicopter buckets (approximately 670 roundtrips, requiring 120 hours of flight time, for the removal of 5,000 tons of ore). The flight lines would avoid residences. The alternative would allow the applicant to sample and process some ore to resolve the economic and operational uncertainties associated with the project without incurring the environmental degradation associated with road development and use. Five years would be provided to stockpile and process the ore to resolve uncertainties. Once the sampling was completed, the applicant could submit a new plan of operations, with additional economic and operational analysis based on the findings of the sample processing. A powerline road would be improved. The estimated road development, haulage, and dust abatement costs under Alternative 9 are $43,000, $840,000, and $1,000, respectively. The present net value of the alternative is minus $970,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would seek to protect resources, given the claimant's right to mine in the area. The operation of the mine would play a direct and indirect role in the local economy through wages paid to employees. Josephine County would benefit from increased tax revenue from mine development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately five acres of soil would be disturbed. Slight levels of sediment would be released due to ford crossings of streams. The withdrawal of 0.08 cubic per second of water would be required for dust abatement. One species of special status species would be adversely affected. Residents in the area would experience short-term, intense adverse noise impacts.

AN - 36418716; 7575 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of additional shoreline protection measures along portions of Gasparilla and Estero islands, located on the lower Gulf coast in southwestern Florida, is proposed. 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 the infrastructure of the 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 seven offshore borrow site alternatives, are considered in this draft 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 (cy) of material would be placed on the island. The borrow material for the Estero Island component of the project would be taken from a site approximately 16 miles west of the island. The renourishment of the beach would be undertaken at three-year intervals, requiring 347,000 cy 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 cy of material would be placed on Gasparilla Island. The borrow material 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. The renourishment of the beach would be undertaken at seven-year intervals, requiring 541,800 cy of material. 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: The hopper dredge activities could adversely affect sea turtles and gulf sturgeon. The beach fill activities could adversely affect sea turtle nesting and hatching. The 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.

Preparation date: September 8, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREAT RIVER BRIDGE, US 65 IN ARKANSAS TO STATE HIGHWAY 8 IN MISSISSIPPI, DESHA COUNTY, ARKANSAS, AND BOLIVAR COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1996). AN - 36409933; 7573 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge over the Mississippi River connecting Desha County in southeastern Arkansas, with Rosedale in Bolivar County 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 draft supplement to the final EIS of November 1996. Each action 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. The configuration options for the main span bridges would include a combination roadway and railroad bridge or separate bridges; either configuration would fit within the typical right-of-way. The preferred alternative (the Southern Alternative, Alternative 5) would connect US 65 and the Union Pacific Railroad on the north side of McGehee, Arkansas, and cross the Mississippi River approximately two miles north of Arkansas City, Arkansas, immediately downstream of Cypress Bend and Catfish Point. The eastern terminus of this alternative would consist of a connection to Route 1 and the Great River Railroad, a short distance north of Benolit, Mississippi, approximately 13 miles south of Rosedale. The facility would extend 24.6 miles. The estimated high- and low-end capital costs for the project are $517 million and $604 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Rosedale and Dumas, Arkansas. It would also attract new industry to the region, expand existing industry in the region, expand the employment base, and attract tourists to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The bridge would adversely affect aesthetic and visual values of 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. Approximately 587 acres of farmland would be displaced. The project would traverse 11.7 miles within five floodplains and displace 94 acres of wetland.

Preparation date: September 3, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DREDGED MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PORT OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY, NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK. AN - 36409816; 7570 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to manage dredged material taken from the channels of the Port of New York and New Jersey, located in southeastern New York and northeastern New Jersey, is proposed. Approximately $29.0 billion enters the economy and 92,000 direct and 74,000 indirect jobs depend on Port- generated business. Many of the port's channels are too shallow to allow efficient operation by port users without maintenance dredging. The current trend toward deeper draft vessels requires even deeper channels. The port will cease to be a major destination for shipping unless action is taken to maintain the currently authorized channel depths and deepen others. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and three alternatives grouping the various options, are considered in this draft EIS. The management plan would be modified over time following annual reviews by the management plan working group. Because important preferred management would be in the small scale that stage and new techniques or options could evolve in the future, changes to the plan would be expected. The recommended course of action would be divided into a 2000 to 2010 time interval, which would encompass major ongoing and proposed channel improvements, and a 2011-2040 time interval during which maintenance dredging would constitute the primary objective and contaminant reduction efforts would increase the volumes of clean sediments. The options assessed would include sediment contaminant reduction, sediment dredging reduction, beneficial uses of sediment (including ocean remediation, habitat creation and enhancement, and landfill, brownfield, and mine remediation), confined aquatic disposal facilities, and confined upland, nearshore, and island disposal facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would allow continued maintenance and improvement of the harbor, supporting the harbor as an economic resource for the region and the nation. The removal of contaminated sediments would enhance or restore valuable habitat, and the useful placement of sediment would enhance wetland and marine habitat as well as habitat associated with landfills. The placement of sediment on brownfield sites and in mine voids would help restore these sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging would release turbidity and, in some areas, contaminants into the water column and would destroy bethos. The wetland creation, enhancement, and restoration around Jamaica Bay could adversely affect archaeological sites. Threatened and endangered species potentially adversely affected by plan implementation include sea turtles and birds, primarily the peregrine falcon. The confined disposal facilities would displace aquatic and/or upland habitat.

In this paper the extent and effects of acid precipitation and precursors are discussed based on field observations and literature studies. Sulfur dioxide emissions are at present the major cause of acid precipitation, but emissions of nitrogen oxides are increasing. The deposition of sulfur compounds in the most polluted areas in China is higher than in those parts of Eastern and Central Europe which are experiencing severe pollution. Soils and soil waters seem to be acidified in many areas in southern China. Pollution has affected the vitality of forests and other vegetation particularly in and close to urban areas. Surface water acidification is not likely to become a major regional problem in the near future, but streams in some areas, which currently receive little acid deposition, appear to be sensitive to acidification.

AN - 36411658; 7589 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for the future use and operation of the Contra Loma Reservoir, located in western California, is proposed. The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) is proposing to comply with a California State Department of Health Services order that requires recreational body contact activities in the reservoir cease or that CCWD stop using the reservoir for domestic water supply storage. Major issues addressed include those related to water resources and quality, recreation, visual resources, fisheries, vegetation, wildlife, geology, seismicity and soils, cultural resources, land use, public health, transportation, air quality, noise, energy, public services, socioeconomic conditions, and growth-inducing and cumulative impacts. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and a No Project Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The CCWD's proposed action would permanently stop body contact activities in the reservoir in September 1999 and replace certain recreational uses by constructing a swimming lagoon within the existing reservoir footprint. A concrete-covered earthen berm would physically separate the lagoon from the main portion of the 80-acre reservoir. Water in the lagoon would be pumped, filtered, and treated to appropriate water quality standards for recreational use. This would allow existing drinking water and swimming uses to continue at the reservoir. Other alternatives under consideration include the ceasing of the use of the reservoir for drinking water supply and the reservoir for body contact activities, as well as the construction of a water treatment plant and conveyance system (pipeline and pump station) to enable the continued use of the reservoir for both purposes and the provision of a connection between the East Bay Municipal Utility District's Mokelumne Aqueduct and the CCWD conveyance system so that water could be used as available from EBMUD, allowing the reservoir to cease to be used as a means of supplying potable water. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enable CCWD to continue using the reservoir for its historic domestic water supply purposes, including use of the reservoir for meeting peaking requirements and use for system reliability during shutdowns and other emergencies. Drinking water supplies and the health of swimmers would be safeguarded. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would lie within a seismically active area, which is also characterized by high shrink and swell potential that could result in subsidence. Body contact recreational opportunities at the reservoir site would decline significantly. The construction activities would result in the disturbance of wetlands, vegetation, and associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for special-status species, and could result in disturbance of culturally significant sites. Facility maintenance requirements would increase. The swimming lagoon could result in a small change in the size and number of standing waves that could form in the reservoir in the event of a seiche.

Many of these structures are nearing the end of their design life, yet service to the public must be maintained. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) program was initiated to address issues related to maintaining these structures beyond their design life. One of the seven problem areas focuses on maintenance management and prioritization, including developing procedures to collect inspection data for monitoring condition of these structures. For USACE civil works, the emphasis has been steadily shifting from construction of new facilities to maintenance and repair (M&R) of existing ones, so M&R has become an increasingly important part of the budget. In addition, USACE is one of many Federal agencies facing increasingly restrictive budgets and greater demands for budget justification. A prioritization system can be useful in the decision process for the management of existing facilities. Being able to rely on the functionality and structural integrity of embankment dams as components of a flood control or hydropower project is essential. If embankment dam performance is not adequate, pool level may be restricted, causing power generation or recreation benefits to be lost, and, most importantly, putting downstream infrastructure and lives at increased risk.

The effects these impacts have on selected aquatic species including anadromous salmon species have been documented. With the listing of bull trout, chum and chinook salmon under the Endangered Species Act the focus has shifted to recovery of the once prevalent cold water fishery in the region. One important aspect of the recovery of the fishery will be habitat restoration. The Seattle District Corps of Engineers has a variety of restoration authorities that can be utilized in this arena (Water Resource Development Act sections 22, 206, 1135 and General Investigations).

N1 - Last updated - 2015-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Ashtabula River, Ohio, Sedimentation Study, Report 4, Numerical Model AN - 17598691; 4679275 AB - The Ashtabula River flows north into Lake Erie at the city of Ashtabula in northeast Ohio. The Federal navigation project in the lower Ashtabula River contains a breakwater protected harbor in Lake Erie and a navigable waterway extending about 3.2 km upstream to a point approximately 300 m downstream of the 24th Street Bridge. Sediments in the harbor and lower 600 m of the waterway are classified as suitable for open-lake disposal, whereas sediments upstream are classified as unsuitable for open-lake disposal. In the harbor and lower 600 m of the waterway, dredging operations are conducted as required to permit commercial navigation. Dredging operations in the remainder of the waterway were suspended in the 1970s, closing the channel to commercial navigation, in response to the increased cost of safe removal and disposal of sediments contaminated with heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The waterway is heavily used for recreational navigation. Limited dredging operations were conducted in the reach upstream of the 5th Street Bridge in 1993 to maintain safe navigation conditions for recreational traffic. Numerical hydraulic and sedimentation models of the lower Ashtabula River were developed using the TABS-MD modeling system. The objective of the model study described herein was to estimate the potential magnitude and spatial distribution of scour that may occur during an extreme event, such as the 100-year return period flood, potentially causing exposure and dispersal of contaminants buried in the channel bed sediments. Other reports in this series describe field data collections and laboratory erosion experiments conducted in support of the model investigation. The model study revealed that a 100-year return period flood event coincident with Lake Erie stage held at the low-water datum has the potential to scour 80,000 cu m of bed sediments from the lower Ashtabula River producing scour depths generally less than 1 m.c.

N1 - Last updated - 2014-05-06 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Air permeability and capillary rise as measures of the pore structure of snow: An experimental and theoretical study AN - 17281505; 4638244 AB - Air permeability and capillary pressure are macroscopic snow properties that are influenced by the pore structure of the snow cover. Formulas for predicting fluid transport, species elution, and acoustive wave propagation require parameterization of one or both of these properties. We report paired measurements of permeability and capillary rise from snow samples at field sites in Hanover, New Hampshire, and Sleepers River Research Watershed, Danville, Vermont. We augment these data with laboratory tests on sieved snow and glass beads. Our measurements demonstrate a linear relationship between permeability and the ratio of porosity and the square of capillary rise, which we corroborate theoretically using a simple conduit model of the pore space. We propose that scatter in the data results, in part, from the effect of crystal shape on air flow and imbibition contact angle. Since the early measurements and classification schemes of Bader in 1939, many investigators have expanded the database of permeability observations for a wide range of snow types. We summarize these data and report our own recent observations from the New England sites and from an additional site in Manitoba, Canada. Our measurements are in the high range of reported values. However, after normalizing our data by the square of grain diameter, they follow the empirical function of Shimizu fairly closely. This agreement supports our measurements, and demonstrates the usefulness of Shimizu's function for snow types other than the relatively dense, fine-grained snow used in his analysis. Our normalized permeability data for low density snow, as well as the Shimizu function, are below theoretical predictions for suspensions of spheres and infinite cylinders. By extending the model for spheres to oblate spheroids and discs, we estimate permeability that is in closer agreement with our data. We suggest that a decrease in surface-to-volume ratio as snow ages may account for a relative increase in normalized permeability.

AN - 36422465; 7568 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to remove contaminated sediment from the Ashtabula Harbor, located at the mouth of the Ashtabula River on the south shore of Lake Erie in northern Ohio, is proposed. The harbor is a significant Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway facility. It is situated in an area of significant water and ecological resources of Lake Erie and the Ashtabula River watershed. The harbor encompasses both commercial and recreational development. Over the years, runoff from urban and industrial developments, particularly those industrial developments along Fields Brook, have resulted in contamination of water and sediment in adjacent streams and the lower Ashtabula River. Inorganics, such as cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, and organic compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and industrial solvents, constitute the major pollutants. Approximately 1.15 million cubic yards (cy) of polluted sediments are situated in the area of the lower Ashtabula River. The Ashtabula River Partnership (ARP) has investigated problems and needs pertaining to the contaminated sediments and disrupted habitats in the lower Astabula River. These conditions have resulted in the restriction of operations and maintenance dredging and of disposal of dredged material, preventing full environmental, economic, and social use and the development of the harbor. In addition to a No Action Alternative, the ARP considered a wide array of alternatives and options pertaining to dredging, habitat restoration, the transfer/dewatering/transfer of dredge spoil, and transportation and disposal of spoil. The recommended plan would involve the deep dredging of approximately 696,000 cy (in situ) of contaminated sediments, 150,000 cy of which is significantly contaminated with PCBs and would be handled and disposed to in accord with federal regulations. It would also include the development and utilization of a transfer/dewatering/transfer facility in the harbor area, the trucking of the dewatered dredge material to a developed upland disposal site, and the disposal of the material, as appropriate, in developed Site 7 or existing federally approved and other disposal facilities. The facilities would include leachate collection, treatment, and monitoring facilities, and the plan would include closure and post-closure monitoring measures. The plan would also include the restoration of several acres of aquatic and fishery shallows areas and associated shoreline as well as wetland mitigation measures. The estimated first cost of the project is $42.4 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 3.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The removal of the contaminated sediments would help restore wildlife, finfish, and benthic habitat in the lower Ashtabula River. The elimination of restrictions on dredging activities would allow continued maintenance and improvement of the harbor, supporting commercial and recreational interests in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging of the contaminated sediment would release contaminants into the water column and create turbidity. Small areas of vegetation could be cleared. The disposal of dredged material would involve placement of contaminated soils in upland sites, eliminating such sites for certain development possibilities. Eleven acres of mostly wooded wetland would be displaced.

Preparation date: August 31, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS NAVIGATION CHANNEL; CLATSOP, COLUMBIA, AND MULTNOMAH COUNTIES, OREGON, AND CLARK, COWLITZ, PACIFIC, AND WAHKLAKUM COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36424005; 7564 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements to the authorized Columbia and lower Willamette rivers navigation channel, located in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington, is proposed. The study area includes 11.6 miles of the Willamette River below Portland, Oregon, extending from the Broadway Bridge at river mile 11.6 to the mouth of the river, and 103.5 miles of the Columbia River below Vancouver, Washington, extending from Interstate 5 at river mile 106.5 to the mouth of the river at river mile 3.0. The project would be undertaken to improve the deep-draft transportation of goods on the navigation channel (limited to a maximum depth of 43 feet) and to provide ecosystem restoration for fish and wildlife habitats. The need for navigation improvements has been driven by the steady growth in waterborne commerce and the use of larger and more efficient vessels to transport bulk commodities. With the increased use of deep-draft vessels, limitations posed by the existing channel dimensions now occur with greater frequency than in the past. Three structural alternatives, as well as a No Action Alternative and a non-structural alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The structural alternatives would include the deepening of the channel to 41, 42 or 43 feet, requiring the dredging of 6, 12, or 20 million cubic yards (cy), respectively. The deepening of the channel to 43 feet would also require the removal of 220,000 cy of basalt rock and 450,000 cy of gravel and boulders from six areas in the Columbia River and two in the Willamette River. In-water, upland, and ocean disposal requirements would differ according to the structural alternative under consideration. The final EIS also includes documentation in support of designation by the Environmental Protection Agency of new ocean disposal sites for the maintenance of the Mouth of the Columbia River project, the maintenance of the existing navigation channel, and the implementation and maintenance of the proposed channel improvement. The deepening of the channel to 43 feet has be selected as the preferred alternative. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $188.6 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.0. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion of the capacity of the channel system would provide for safer, more efficient transportation of goods within the system, enhancing the local and regional economies. The ecosystem measures would enhance fish and wildlife habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging activities would disturb benthic habitat and release sediment into the water column. The deepening of the channel would lead to very slight increases in estuarine salinity under low river flow conditions. The upland disposal would displace vegetation and otherwise degrade wildlife habitat, including the habitat of a federally listed endangered species, the Columbian white-tailed deer. The dredging would also adversely affect six listed salmonid species and six salmonid species proposed for listing. The dredging and disposal activities would also adversely affect aesthetics, recreation, and land uses, including agricultural uses.

AN - 36422560; 7565 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 7.2 miles of Louis Lake Road (Forest Development Road 300, Loop Road), located in central Wyoming, is proposed. The road passes through Shoshone National Forest along the edge of the Wind River Mountains in the west-central portion of the state; it provides an scenic alternate route through the forest and connects Wyoming State Highway (SH) 131 in Sinks Canyon south of Lander to SH 28 near Atlantic City and South Pass. The roadway is currently characterized by steep grades unable to hold gravel, limited width making maintenance of shoulders and drainage features difficult, lack of roadside area to accommodate errant vehicles or safety devices, eroded and narrow road surfaces, impaired sight distances, and switch-back curves with small turning radii, causing encroachment on opposing lanes by larger vehicles and vehicles pulling trailers. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The improvements would include the widening of the roadway to meet American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials guides specifying 10-foot travel lanes paved with aggregate or asphalt and two-foot shoulders, improved drainage features, and improved horizontal and vertical curvature and sight distances, and guardrails and signage. Upon completion, the road segment would extend existing Wyoming Forest Highway 23. Gravel and paved surfaces are under consideration. The material chosen constituting the chief difference distinguishing two build alternatives, Alternative B providing for a gravel surface and Alternative C providing for a paved surface. The estimated costs of Alternative B and Alternative C are $6.1 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The estimated maintenance costs over the 20-year period following the construction are $42,000, $65,000 to $93,000, and $80,000 for Alternative A, Alternative B, and Alternative C, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The roadway improvements would enhance travel safety, accommodate projected increases in traffic volumes due to growth in U.S. Forest Service multiple-use activities, and provide for an easily maintained roadway. The aesthetics of the corridor would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some habitat would be lost, including 0.152 acres of wetland. The roadway would traverse and area affected by geological hazards, including steep cuts and fills, and rock falls. As traffic volumes increases, levels of noise and air pollutants in the corridor would increase.

Preparation date: August 30, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 522 (FEDERAL PROJECT NUMBER STP-0522(007); STATE PROJECT NUMBER U233-522- 02.2 (02), VIRGINIA STATE LINE TO MARYLAND STATE LINE, MORGAN COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36409703; 7554 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 18.7 miles of US 522 from the Virginia state line to the Maryland state line in Morgan County, West Virginia, is proposed. The facility is a major north-south route through the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Segments of US 522 are currently 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. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1), which constitutes 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 522 alignment for the southern 8.7 miles of the route. For the majority of this stretch, the new alignment 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 in order 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 Bath (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 cost of the project 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. The safety problems characterizing the corridor would be rectified. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some 321 residential and one commercial buildings would be displaced and occur primarily where the alignment crossed local roadways connecting US 522. The rights-of-way requirements would also displace 80 acres of farmland, 8.9 acres of wetlands, 3.9 acres of floodplain, one site eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and one archaeological site. Small wetland areas would be adversely affected along Breakneck Run and several other smaller streams. The project would require channelization of 405 linear feet of stream, and the project would require 9,400 feet of bridge and culvert construction. Thirteen sites potentially containing hazardous waste would be encountered during construction.

Preparation date: August 23, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DESTIN DOME 56 UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION PLAN AND RIGHT-OF-WAY PIPELINE APPLICATION, GULF OF MEXICO. AN - 36420814; 7553 AB - PURPOSE: The development, production, and transport of 1.33 to 1.99 trillion cubic feet of natural gas from the Destin Dome (DD) 56 Unit in the Eastern Planning Area of the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is proposed. The unit consists of 11 contiguous blocks, namely DD Blocks 12 through 16, 54 through 57, and 99 and 100. The closest point of the DD 56 Unit to the coastline of the Florida Panhandle is approximately 25 miles due south of Pensacola, Florida. Wells in the Unit would target a single objective in three separate reservoirs containing natural gas in the Jurassic-aged Norphlet Formation. The formation generally trends west-east from onshore Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida into the OCS offshore the coast of these states. Chevron U.S.A. Production Company and its partners, Conoco Inc and the Murphy Exploration & Production Company (Murphy), propose the development of the OCS blocks. The blocks were offered for lease by the federal government in 1984. Five of the 11 blocks were leased at that time. The other six leases were awarded in subsequent sales, three in 1985 and three in 1989. To date, Murphy and Conoco have successfully drilled three exploratory wells that confirmed the existence of a large reservoir of natural gas. Chevron submitted a right-of-way pipeline application on December 16, 1998. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The maximum development scenario would involve the drilling of 20 additional wells and bringing one existing exploratory well into production. The ultimate decision on the number of wells needed to produce gas efficiently in the unit would depend on the geological success of the first few wells. There could be as many as 21 wells producing up to 450 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The gas would be produced from satellite well locations and routed through in-field flowlines to a central processing facility (CPF). There could be two CPFs in DD Block 12 connected by a catwalk bridge. From the CPF, the gas would be transported by pipeline across federal waters to an area off the coast of Mobile, Alabama, from whence it would be sent to shore in Mobile County through third-party pipelines. All support for DD 56 Unit activities in the form of the transportation of personnel and supplies and equipment would be provided by helicopter from an existing shore base in Theodore, Alabama, or Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Zero Discharge Alternative would preclude the routine discharge of materials offshore during all phases of the operations in the DD 56 Unit. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The production of natural gas from the OCS blocks would help meet the nation's requirement for this energy resource and would enhance the affected coastal economies. The lease development would result in the creation of 600 jobs. The employment associated with the development activities would peak in Louisiana in the year 2000 at approximately 3,700 jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The spills due to pipeline leaks and vessel and platform accidents could result in the release of significant toxic water pollutants, adversely affecting benthic habitat as well as species inhabiting the water column. The localized, minor degradation of water quality would be expected within the immediate vicinity of the waterbodies proximate to the service bases, commercial waste disposal facilities, and gas processing plants as a result of routine effluent discharges and runoff. The maintenance dredging of Mobile Bay, the Theodore Ship Channel, Bayou Cassotte, and the portion of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to be used, as well as any dredging occurring for emplacement of the pipeline route to shore, would decrease water clarify and result in resuspension of contaminants; this could preclude uses of those waters directly affected by the dredging operations for up to several months. Increases in vessel traffic and potential spills could result in damage to wetlands. The prevailing atmospheric conditions indicate that facility operations would have significant adverse effects on offshore air quality. DD 56 Unit activities could encounter shipwreck sites in the Gulf, degrading these historically and archaeologically significant resources.

Preparation date: August 20, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WHITE RIVER AMPHITHEATRE, MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN RESERVATION, KINGS COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36422398; 7551 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 20,000-seat open-air amphitheater to be known as the White River Amphitheatre, located on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation located in the western (Seattle-Tacoma) area of Washington, is proposed. The Seattle- Tacoma area is one of five metropolitan areas with a population of over 2.0 million lacking a large outdoor amphitheater. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (Tribe), which currently has approximately 1,600 enrolled members, is located on the southeast corner of the six-square-mile Muckleshoot Indian Reservation, approximately 25 miles southeast of Seattle between the cities of Auburn and Enumclaw. The Tribe and Bill Graham Presents (BGP) entered into a management agreement that provides that the Tribe would own and BGP would manage the facilities. The amphitheater construction began in 1997, but was suspended in July 1998 to allow the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Washington Department of Transportation to conduct further environmental reviews. Approximately 45 acres of the site have been converted to a partially constructed amphitheater and completed stormwater pond. The existing amphitheater bowl, roof structure, berm, roads, and gravel parking areas currently are vacant. Also on the site is the Tribe's Drug and Alcohol Counseling Center. Approximately 45 acres of undisturbed area on site are undeveloped grassland. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action (Alternative 2) would develop a 95-acre tract bounded by State Route 164 on the east, Southeast 408th Street on the south, the White River bluffs on the west, and Southeast 404th Street on the north, for a 20,000-seat amphitheater, surface parking, and associated facilities. Approximately 70 acres would be converted to structures and surface parking for 6,322 to 7,300 vehicles, and access to State Route 164 would be improved. Another 25 acres would be converted to landscaping and buffers, including a shielding berm along the southern boundary. The amphitheater would consist of a main stage, a 10,000-seat bowl with fixed seating, a grass berm for informal lawn seating, and an open-air roof to cover the stage and fixed seating. Support facilities would include a ticket and administrative office, public rest rooms, concession stands, cafes, a center bar, a loading dock, and a hospitality area for performers. A drug and alcohol counseling center would be built on about eight acres in the northwest corner of the part of the site above the bluff. The Canoe Lodge, which would be located within the complex, would be used for Tribal meetings and small events and as a restaurant during concert events. The completion of the amphitheater would require seven months, plus an additional two to three months for start-up and owner equipment setup. All facilities would be completed by the spring of 2001, ready for operation during the summer 2001 concert season. The facility would provide a venue for 30 to 40 concerts per year. The Combined Gravel Quarry Site Alternative (Alternative 3) would include the development of a gravel quarry along with the amphitheater. The 10,000 Seat Alternative (Alternative 4) would include the construction of a 10,000-seat amphitheater. The Site Restoration Alternative (Alternative 5) would include the restoration of the current construction site following the removal of the unfinished facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The economically competitive performing arts center would serve the greater Seattle-Tacoma concert market and provide for cultural and educational events and community gatherings and events for the Muckleshoot Tribe. The amphitheater would also provide additional revenues for the Muckleshoot Tribe, which has suffered due to declining federal funding in recent years. The newly created jobs would ease unemployment among Muckleshoot Tribe members. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Unless removed and reclaimed, the facility would displace grassland, constituting the chief land use of the site. Less than 0.33 acres of wetlands would be filled, and this impact would be mitigated by the creation of approximately 1.5 acres of wetlands on the site. The noise and light and glare during the use of the facility would constitute a minor adverse effect. The traffic levels generated by concerts and other events would constitute a major adverse effect. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 11988, Executive Order 11990, and Executive Order 12898.

Preparation date: August 19, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HARRY S. TRUMAN PARKWAY (PROJECT NUMBER NH-171-1 (3,4,5), FROM THE ABERCORN STREET EXTENSION (SR 204) TO DERENNE AVENUE, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA. AN - 36420720; 7547 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 7.0-mile, four-lane, limited-access parkway, located on the east side of Savannah in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The roadway would extend from the Abercorn Street Extension (State Route (SR) 204) north to Derenne Avenue and complete the final phases of the Harry S. Truman Parkway. Phase I of the project, from Derenne Avenue to Wheaton Street, was completed in 1993; the construction of Phase II, from Wheaton Street to President Street, began in 1994. The completion of the parkway would enable traffic to bypass the congested southern areas of Savannah. It would also remove through traffic from parallel roadways that are currently operating near capacity. Two main build alternatives, seven subalternatives, a No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management, and mass transit are considered in this final EIS. Various combinations of the alternates and subalternatives produced 20 alternative build alignments. Of the 20 possible configurations, nine were determined to be reasonable alternatives. Nineteen of the 20 build alternatives would require the construction of a bridge over the Vernon River and the surrounding salt marsh. Two bridge construction methods under consideration would include mat and barge construction (Bridge Construction Method A), which would involve the placement of temporary mats directly on the marsh, and end-on (short span) construction (Bridge Construction Method B), which would involve the driving of piling ahead of the previous span. The proposed action (Alternative 1/1B/1) would include a facility with four 12-foot lanes with a 44-foot median. The minimum right-of-way would be 196.8 feet. The applicant's preferred alternative is Alternative 1 with Bridge Construction Method A, which would be the lowest-cost and least controversial proposal. The estimated total cost of the project is $84.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on area roads, reduce travel time and improve vehicle efficiency for commuters and local residents, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would result in the displacement of 83 residences and seven businesses, 19.1 acres of land within 10 jurisdictional wetlands and three jurisdictional waters, and 114.2 acres of forest. The residences to be displaced would include 49 single-family homes and one apartment complex containing 34 units. Approximately 113 receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards, and only 70 of these receptors would qualify for mitigation. The rights-of-way development would also adversely affect 54 acres of the Bacon Park Golf Course and Archery Range. The visual aesthetics of portions of the town of Vernonburg, a community recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be adversely affected.

Preparation date: August 17, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - C STREET PROJECT, O'MALLEY ROAD TO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ROAD (PROJECT NUMBER NH-0527(12)/59598), MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE, GREATER ANCHORAGE AREA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 16347769; 7546 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new means of access between O'Malley Road and Dimond Boulevard and the improvement of C Street between Dimond Boulevard and International Airport Road, located in Anchorage in southern Alaska, are proposed. The existing travel corridors, such as Old Seward Highway, Seward Highway, and the Midtown segments of Minnesota Drive, are becoming highly congested during peak travel hours and the anticipated significant population growth and economic expansion are expected to worsen this situation. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the build alternative, C Street would be widened from two lanes to four lanes from Dimond Boulevard to Potter Drive and to six lanes north of Potter Drive. The at-grade Alaska Railroad crossing near the Raspberry Road/68th Avenue intersection would be widened and, eventually, a full grade-separated crossing would be provided. C Street would continue to function as a limited- access facility and the roadway would be extended as a four-lane facility, with a trail and sidewalk, to link O'Malley Road to Dimond Boulevard. A 29.5-foot depressed, unpaved median would be provided. Bus turnouts would be established at 0.25-mile intervals and a full-diamond interchange would control access between C Street and O'Malley Road. The intersections of C Street with 106th Avenue and 104th Avenue would be right-in, right-out configurations; the median would not be interrupted. New intersections would be provided at 100th Avenue and 92nd Avenue. The existing streets within the Newland Subdivision, north of 92nd Avenue, would not be connected to C Street; access to this neighborhood would be provided via Dimond Boulevard or 92nd Avenue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would serve current and future transportation needs and reduce overall vehicle miles traveled in the Anchorage Bowl, thereby reducing congestion and improving air quality. Additional freight movements to and from Anchorage Airport and the Port of Anchorage would be supported. In general, a more direct route from South Anchorage to points north would be provided. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of 27.7 acres of rights-of-way development would result in the permanent loss of 17.9 acres of primarily wetland wildfire habitat and the displacement of one multi-family and four single-family residences. The additional lanes would increase impervious surface in the area by 10.92 acres, resulting in increased runoff and possibly adversely affecting water quality in Campbell Creek and local wetlands. The acquisition of land would decrease the property tax base by $70,000. Traffic-generated noise would result in noise levels in excess of federal standards for 54 residences, 14 businesses, and one recreation area by the year 2020.

Preparation date: August 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST CORRIDOR PROJECT, DENVER METROPOLITAN AREA; ARAPAHOE, DENVER, AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 36418505; 7542 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of transportation facilities in the Southeast Corridor of the Denver metropolitan area, located in northeast-central Colorado, is proposed. The Southeast Corridor is the most heavily congested corridor, on a daily basis, in the state. The corridor follows I-25, the only north-south freeway in the state, and I-225, which provides access to I-70, the region's major east-west freeway. The Southeast Corridor connects the two largest employment centers in the region, the Denver Central Business District and the Sough East Business District. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would involve improvements to I-25 and I-225, consisting of one additional lane in each direction on I-25 from Logan to I-225, two additional lanes in each direction on I-25 from I-225 to C-470/E-470 and one additional lane in each direction on I-225 from Denver Technological Center Parkway to Parker Road. The improvements would also include a collector/distributor roadway, generally located between Broadway and Emerson and between Evans and Colorado, as well as replacement of existing acceleration/deceleration lanes, provision of new acceleration/deceleration lanes to fill in current gaps, and widened shoulders throughout the project, where feasible. Eight interchanges would be reconstructed and 11 bridges replaced. Drainage upgrades would be implemented to improve the deteriorating drainage system. Transportation demand management and intelligent transportation system elements would be incorporated into the project design. The preferred alternative also includes 17.9 miles of double- tracked light rail transit (LRT), beginning at the existing Broadway Station and ending at Lincoln Avenue, on the west side of I-25. LRT would also be constructed within four miles of median along I-225 from I-25 to the existing Nine Mile Park-and-Ride. The LRT system would include 14 stations. Additional LRT stations are under consideration. The estimated capital cost of the project is $1.3 billion, and the estimated annual operation costs in the year 2020 is $233.58 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway and transit travel times would be lessened by an average of 11 minutes and 32 minutes, respectively. The safety on the improved freeway segments would be substantially enhanced. The transit travel time would be 20 minutes less than highway travel time in the year 2020, encouraging commuters to use transit services and, thereby, improving air quality within the corridor. Vehicle miles of travel would decrease on the arterial and collector road system within the corridor, and transportation delays on the freeway would decline by over 30 percent. Improvement of the drainage system would decrease flooding of the highway. Approximately 23,980 jobs would be created in the construction industry and related industries, resulting in a $645 million increase in regional wage earnings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would displace six single-family residents, 112 units in three multi-family buildings, and 20 commercial buildings, including buildings with multiple tenants. Approximately 3.2 acres of wetlands would be displaced. Two historic properties would be adversely affected, and limited property acquisitions would be required from three parks and four historic sites. Construction activities could encounter up to 41 hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: August 13, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KIHEI UPCOUNTRY MAUI HIGHWAY, MAUI COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 36414776; 7541 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane, limited-access rural highway from Kihei, a village on the southern Coast of Maui, to Upcountry, a region on the western flank of Haleakala volcano in the County of Maui, Hawaii is proposed. The existing circuitous route between Kihei-Makena, a major employment center along Maui's southern coast, and Upcountry, a popular residential area on Haleakala's western flank, extends at least 16 miles. In contrast, the straight-line distance between Kihei-Makena and most Upcountry communities is between 9 and 12 miles. The route between the Upcountry communities and West Maui is also circuitous. A No Build Alternative and eight alternative alignments, each connecting one of two Kihei and one of four Upcountry terminus options, are considered in this draft EIS. Two alternatives would require the modification of the Pukalani Bypass/Haleakala Highway/Kula Highway "Five Trees" intersection. Kihei-Upcountry Maui Highway would replace the Haleakala Highway leg (Pukalani side), and Haleakala Highway would be realigned to link and form a T- intersection with Pukalani Bypass approximately 1,200 feet north of the Five Tree intersection. The existing segment of Haleakala Highway between the new connection to Pukalani Bypass and the Five Trees intersection would remain open to traffic. Regardless of the alignment, the highway would be a limited-access arterial roadway with one 12-foot land in each direction. The minimum width of the roadway right-of-way would be 160 feet in rural areas and 120 feet in urban areas. Additional right-of-way would be reserved to allow for future widening to a four-lane divided highway if appropriate in the future. However, this EIS addresses only the construction of a two-lane cross-section as projections indicate that two lanes would provide sufficient capacity to accommodate travel demand in the design year (2020). The posted speed limits would vary from 45 miles per hour (mph) in urban areas to 55 mph in rural areas. Depending on the alternative selected, the estimated cost of the project is $64.8 million to $86.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would ease transportation of persons and goods between Kihei and Upcountry, thereby addressing growth in regional transportation demand. Federal interests would be served since the facility would facilitate transportation between defense-related research activities at Science City atop Haleakala Crater and the Maui Research and Technology Park in Kihei. Substantial transportation energy savings would be realized. In the event of a tsunami or tropical storm eruption, the island's coastal evacuation capacity would be increased substantially. Both high-technology and tourist industries on Maui would be supported. The project would infuse up to $66 million in federal funding into the community during construction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would displace sugarcane, pineapple, and ranch land as well as open space and vegetation that provides wildlife habitat. The construction activities would damage agricultural drainage systems. The removal of property from private ownership would result in a loss of $13,000 to $46,000 in local tax revenues. Certain alternatives would encourage the use of local roads, causing congestion on these facilities and, in one case, interfering with the movements of agricultural machinery. The predicted traffic noise levels at 12 of the 13 selected noise receptor sites would increase from one to 11 decibels. Four to 12 archaeological sites would be encountered during the construction.

AN - 36418469; 7531 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a US 1 bypass around the city of Rockingham, located in southern North Carolina, is proposed. The segment of US 1 extends 15.5 miles from south of Rockingham to north of Fox Road (State Route (SR) 1606), north of Rockingham. The existing two-lane rural highway fails to meet the transportation needs of the city and the county. Seven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the bypass would consist of 13 miles of road on a new location and 2.5 miles of improvements on the existing alignment. The new alignment would comprise a four- lane, fully-controlled-access freeway, while the improved existing section would comprise a four-lane, divided expressway with partial control of access. Alternative Corridor 7 would extend north from Osborne Road (SR 1104) and continue northeast to an interchange with the US 74 Bypass. West of the US 1 Bypass, Stokes Road (SR 1992) would be realigned to intersect with Hatcher Road (SR 1991), which would be turned into a cul-de-sac on the east side of the US 1 Bypass. East of the US 74 Bypass interchange, the alignment would continue northeast to an interchange with SR 1966, curve north to an interchange with existing US 74, and continue north to an at-grade intersection with Wire Grass Road (SR 1640) and Washington Street Extension (SR 1643) approximately 3,300 feet south of existing US 1. From the intersection with existing US 1 northward, the remaining portion of this alternative would consist of widening the existing US 1 to a four-lane divided rural facility to its northern terminus north of Fox Road (SR 1606). The other three alignments would constitute minor alterations of the Alternative Corridor 7 alignment. The estimated costs of the project are $153.75 million to 164.25 million, depending on the alignment alternative considered. A transportation system management alternative, a mass transit alternative, and other corridor alternatives are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would improve travel conditions in Richmond County by reducing overall travel time and alleviating traffic congestion in downtown Rockingham through the diversion of both through traffic and truck traffic from local streets. The multilane roadway would provide a safer, more efficient facility for local and through traffic. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements, totaling 809 to 860 acres, would result in the displacement of up to 67 to 115 residences, including three to 10 minority residences, six to 17 businesses, and one farm. The land which would be displaced would include seven to 22 acres of farmland, 560 to 624 acres of undisturbed land, and 179 to 227 acres of developed land. The project would traverse 10 or 15 streams, adversely affecting 3,459 to 6,872 linear feet of stream. Three or seven acres of open water, 55.5 to 61.8 acres of wetlands, and 18.5 to 24.8 acres of floodplain would be adversely affected.

Here we use archived data from the Russian North Pole (NP) drifting stations and our own data from Ice Station Weddell (ISW) to investigate this coupling. Both Arctic and Antarctic distributions of total cloud amount are U-shaped: that is, observed cloud amounts are typically either 0-2 tenths or 8-10 tenths in the polar regions. We fitted these data with beta distributions and, using roughly 70 station-years of observations from the NP stations, compute fitting parameters for each winter month. Although we find that surface-layer air temperature and total cloud amount are correlated, it is not straightforward to predict one from the other because temperature is normally distributed while cloud amount has a U-shaped distribution. Nevertheless, we develop a statistical algorithm that can predict total cloud amount in winter from surface-layer temperature alone and, as required, produces a distribution of cloud amounts that is U-shaped. Because sea ice models usually need cloud data to estimate incoming long-wave radiation, this algorithm may be useful for estimating cloud amounts and, thus, for computing the surface heat budget where no visual cloud observations are available but temperature is measured -- from the Arctic buoy network or from automatic weather stations, for example. The incoming long-wave radiation in sea ice models is generally highly parameterized. We evaluate five common parameterizations using data from NP-4, NP-25, and ISW. The formula for estimating incoming long-wave radiation that Koenig-Langlo and Augstein developed using both Arctic and Antarctic data has the best properties but does depend nonlinearly on total cloud amount. This nonlinearity is crucial since cloud distributions are U-shaped while common sources of cloud data tabulate only mean monthly values. Lastly, we therefore use a one-dimensional sea ice model to investigate how methods of averaging cloud amounts affect predicted sea ice thickness in the context of the five long-wave radiation parameterizations. Here, too, Koenig-Langlo and Augstein's formula performs best, and using daily averaged cloud data yields more realistic results than using monthly averaged cloud data that have been interpolated to daily values.

One approach to providing erosion protection and stabilization of channel banks, embankments and spill conveyances is with articulated concrete block systems. Numerous articulated concrete block systems are available for bank stabilization. However, prior to field installations few means are available to evaluate how well these block systems perform. To assist the designer in predicting site specific suitability, a series of hydraulic testing protocols have been developed to analyze block system performance. Two articulated block system testing protocols are presented to indicate how block hydraulic characteristics may be determined and provide performance assurance to both the designer and the owner.

AN - 36422742; 7526 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of gold mining operations at the Pipeline Mine within the Gold Acres Mining District in Lander County, Nevada is proposed. The project area lies 30 miles southeast of Battle Mountain. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under 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: expansion of the Pipeline open pit, which would eventually include the South Pipeline open pit; a new heap leach facility; expansion of the existing Pipeline waste rock dump and tailings facility; 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; development of new groundwater extraction wells; rerouting of a portion of Cortez Mine Road; abandonment of a portion of the ROW for the Gold Acres haul road; establishment of ROW for a pipeline to deliver water to Dean Ranch; and 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. A Pipeline Backfill Alternative, also under consideration, would dispose of waste rock into the Pipeline open pit rather than the South Pipeline waste rock dump. This second action alternative would involve alternation 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 the facility siting, the dewatering of streams and springs and the resultant loss of vegetation including special status species, the degradation of groundwater quality, the introduction of noxious weeds to disturbed areas, and the accidental spills of hazardous materials which would pose a hazard to human populations in the area. The blasting activities would result in significant noise emissions. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36414923; 7523 AB - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation of the southeastern portion of the 143-mile Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) around Lake Okeechobee, located in southern Florida, is proposed. The HHD was originally constructed as a series of embankments by local interests, circa 1915, to provide flood protection and irrigation water. The embankments were improved to the current levee system by the Corps of Engineers during the 1930s and 1940s. Major culvert modifications were made in the 1970s. Since then, only as-needed repairs have been made to the system. Recent high- water events and major boils and pipings around the dike have suggested the need for major rehabilitation. The Corps of Engineers is preparing a series of Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Reports (MRER) to document seepage and stability concerns and provide rehabilitation options. This initial MRER and draft EIS focuses on the southeastern portion of the HHD (Reach One). Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are consider for rehabilitation. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would involve the installation of a seepage berm with a relief trench along the lower portion of the landward toe of the embankment. In areas where the embankment toe rests on a peat layer, the construction of the seepage berm would begin with excavation of peat material from the landside toe. The berm would lie along the lower portion of the embankment tow to a point approximately 40 feet landward of the intersection of the toe with existing terrain. The berm would consist of a one-foot-thick layer of filter sand overlain by a five-foot-thick layer of filter stone. The upper surface of the berm would be covered with a sand and/or soil layer to allow for the establishment of grasses. A 48-inch-diameter perforated culvert system would collect and convey seepage flows to controlled outlets emptying into existing drainage canals. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would improve slope stability and seepage control and reduce the probability of a breach along Reach One of the HHD. The rehabilitation of the system would protect life, property, and wildlife habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect area hydrology, water supply, water quality, and water management. The alteration of local hydrology could adversely affect farmers if the availability of irrigation water were lessened. The excavation and fill of low quality wetlands would be required along the landward toe of the dike. The foraging habitat for wading birds, including federally protected species, along the landward toe ditches would be altered, and reptiles, amphibians, and fish utilizing these ditches would be lost during the construction. Aesthetics and recreational resources would be adversely affected during the construction.

AN - 36414441; 7521 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of four sand and gravel mining and reclamation plans in the upper Morrison Creek watershed, a federally approved floodplain, located near the community of Vineyard in north-central California, is proposed. The 966.3- acre project area is located in the reach between Jackson Highway to the north and Hedge Road to the west. Morrison Creek flows from the low foothills of eastern Sacramento County to the Sacramento River Delta at Snodgress Slough. Downstream of the project site, Morrison Creek flows westerly through the city of Sacramento before entering the Beach-Stone Lakes area at the Sacramento River. These areas are subject to flood damages as demonstrated by the January 1995 floods. Flood problems are related to limited channel capacity and the volume concerns at Beach-Stone Lakes. The project site consists of four adjoining properties designated as Aspen III South, Vineyard I, Aspen IV South, and Aspen V South. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, two mining companies (Teichart Aggregates and Granite Construction Company) would remove aggregate from a site 50 to 75 acres in size, and reclaim that area by placing the overburden from the next area to be mined. The mining method would involve the removal of five to ten feet of clay and soil overburden overlying the sand and gravel deposit. These deposits, which range in thickness from 20 to 35 feet, would be mined with excavation equipment and transported to existing or proposed aggregate processing plants via conveyor belts. The removed overburden would be placed on the harvested area behind the operation. The project operations would result in the mining of 36.7 million tons of sand and gravel, and the removal of 430,000 cubic yards of overburden. Also under consideration is the Floodplain Protection Alternative, which would restrict mining operations to 310 acres outside the Morrison Creek 100-year floodplain. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an affordable source of high quality sand and gravel for the construction of roads, canals, dams, homes, and commercial structures; a local source of mineral aggregate is considered essential to keeping it affordable because its cost is largely determined by transportation costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project operations would require the removal of all on-site vegetation, the gross reconstruction of the floodplain, altered flows downstream, hydrologic and landform changes to the existing floodplain, and the loss of open space and aesthetic values associated with the streambed.

AN - 36418903; 7512 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 2.4 miles of Albany Shaker Road (County Route 151) and 1.3 miles of Watervliet Shaker Road, located in the town of Colonie in eastern New York, is proposed. The Albany Shaker Road segment of the project would run from the southern intersection with Dalessandro Boulevard to State Route 7, while the Watervliet Shaker Road segment would run from the eastern intersection with Vly Road to Albany Shaker Road. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would include the construction of a four-lane roadway through Airport Park. The project would include the construction of 8,730 feet of four-lane arterial west of Albany Shaker Road, the construction 3,810 feet of four-lane bypass arterial west of the Albany Shaker Road/Watervliet Shaker Road intersection in order 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 a four- lane cross-section. Alternative 2 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. Alternative 4 would involve the construction of a four-lane road east of Airport Park. This project would include the construction of 6,330 feet of 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 four-lane bypass arterial west of the existing Albany Shaker Road/Watervliet Shaker Road intersection in order 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. This alternative would also include the construction of 1,260 feet of a two-lane connector roadway between the newly relocated Albany Shaker Road and existing Albany Shaker Road and the construction of 915 feet of a two-lane roadway to the relocated western end of Sicker Road. Either alternative 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. The 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. Estimated costs of Alternatives 2 and 4 are $19.4 million and $19.63 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would provide for future traffic demand in the affected corridor consistent with the goals of the Colonie Land Use Management Program, provide additional capacity to meet the needs of future traffic demands associated with the operation of the Albany International Airport, 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: Rights-of-way acquisition would displace two to three residences, one to two businesses, and 2.3 acres of active farmland. 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 level of service 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. Transportation energy consumption would increase somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36422665; 7507 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 37 miles of US Route 35 (US 35) from Interstate 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-lanes 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 draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the Central Alternative) would include three interchange options and cross I-64 with an 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 (Teays Valley Road). The alignment would continue to the northwest and cross WV 34 near Putnam County Route 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 Putnam County Route 15, the alignment would run parallel to and west of US 35 in Henderson. Between Putnam County Route 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 West Alternative would include six interchange options. A transportation system management alternative and a multi-modal system alternative are also under consideration. The estimated costs of the preferred alternative are $14.0 million to $18.0 million, depending on the interchange option considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would facilitate safe and efficient movement of people and gods 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 displace 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 also adversely affect 227 to 249 acres of farmland, 20.9 to 23.0 acres of wetlands, 1.3 to 4.8 acres of floodplain, up to 1.1 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.

Preparation date: July 20, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GRUNDY FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION AND HIGHWAY UPGRADE PROJECT, BUCHANAN COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36420927; 7506 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures along the Levisa Fork River and the upgrade of a highway for the town of Grundy, located in southwestern Virginia, are proposed. Bundy, the county seat of Buchanan County, located in a mountainous, coal-mining region, has experienced numerous floods in the past 130 years. The flood of record occurred in 1977 when the Levisa Fork River rose 28 feet above flood stage and caused $12.8 million in damages. The constrictions to stream flow and traffic flow are the result of the over-development of the floodplain and by natural barriers created by the long mountain ranges surrounding Grundy. The Levisa Fork is tightly flanked in many areas by highways, railroads, and city streets, making them prone to flooding. Commercial and residential structures, along with roadway fill, encroach upon the natural stream channel, thus raising flood levels upstream. In addition, several substandard bridges providing access to businesses and homes opposite the river also restrict stream flow. The project area encompasses 4.1 miles of the Levisa Fork and 1.6 miles of Slate Creek, a tributary of the Levisa Fork. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of August 1995. Plan 0 and Plan 3A would involve voluntary floodproofing and floodplain evacuation in the Slate Creek downstream and upstream reaches, floodplain management measures, and a comprehensive flood protection plan for the central business district (CBD). Within the CBD, Plan 0 would demolish some structures that encroach on the floodplain, replace the first two floors of the Buchanan County Courthouse, and construct a ringwall around two schools. Plan 3A, the tentatively selected plan, would involve relocating the two schools (one of which is historically significant) and the town fire station, constructing a ringwall around 18 structures in the downtown area, and upgrading US 460 from two to four lanes raised to the 100-year flood elevation. This document addresses design refinements in Plan 3A. The third action plan, which is independent of the other two, would involve constructing a 2.5-mile highway bypass around the town of Grundy. The estimated cost of Plan 0, Plan 3A, and the third action plan are $82.0 million, $86.1 million, and $125.0 million, respectively. [The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHW) has adopted the U.S. Army's Corps of Engineers' final EIS (EPA number 950407) filed 8-30-95. FHW was not a cooperating agency for the above final EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred plan would provide improved flood protection for the area and reduce the economic burdens of flooding, while maintaining a viable CBD and providing an opportunity for further commercial development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under modified Plan 3A, the tentatively selected plan, numerous residences and nonresidential structures would be displaced. Plan 3A would require the acquisition of more structures than Plan 0 because of right-of-way for the new highway. One site of potential historic value, a rail station built circa 1931, would be adversely affected. The construction of the highway would create noise in excess of federal standards. The elevated highway would adversely affect visual resources in a manner which could not be mitigated.

AN - 36411487; 7505 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a 30.4-mile segment of Trunk Highway (TH) 14 from the east junction of TH 60 on the west to I-35 on the east, located in southern Minnesota, is proposed. The corridor being approximately two miles west of Smith's Mill, passes through Janesville and Waseca, and terminates within the city limits of Owatonna. TH 14 provides a direct connection between Mankato and Rochester, two major regional centers roughly 80 miles apart. Throughout most of its length, TH 14 is a two-lane highway, functionally classified as a principal arterial roadway. The section of TH 14 within the project area suffers from several design deficiencies: 38 percent of the highway is designated as a no- passing zone; 25 locations do not meet current stopping sight distance guidelines; and usable shoulder widths are less than ten feet throughout most of the corridor. The accident rate in the corridor is significantly higher than the statewide average for similar two-lane roadways. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft EIS. Alternative 2 would include upgrading the existing two-lane segment. It would involve the reconstruction as a two-lane roadway with some minor realignment, the construction of right-turn lanes, and the construction of a section of passing lanes. It would also include adding capacity improvements (such as left turn lanes) at key intersections within the built-up areas in Waseca and Janesville and upgrading the existing north I-35 interchange, which includes the realignment of the frontage road in the northwest quadrant. Alternative 3 would involve the upgrading of TH 14 to a four-lane roadway, and the bypassing of Janesville and Waseca either to the north or south. Three sets of bypass alignment options are under consideration. Alternative 4, the alternative identified as preferred in this abbreviated final EIS, would involve the construction of a four-lane roadway on a new alignment and the bypassing of Janesville and Waseca to the south. Alternative 4 has been modified; it would remove a two-lane upgrade of the existing TH 14 between Waseca and Owatonna. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $112.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The roadway design changes would improve traffic safety and efficiency along the corridor and strengthen the regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 10 residences and one businesses. It would adversely affect up to 50 acres of wetlands, 862 acres of farmland, and one floodplain. Numerous residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Some sections of a nine-hole golf course and Crane Creek Park would be adversely affected.

AN - 36423948; 7502 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan along the Upper Des Plaines River, located in northern Illinois, is proposed. The study areas consists of the Des Plaines River watershed from Riverside, Illinois, northward to the Wisconsin border. Salt Creek and its tributaries at Riverside are not part of the study area. Flood damages along the Des Plaines amount to approximately $21.0 million on an annualized basis. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the recommended plan, the project would involve the enlarging of an existing dam on North Mill Creek from a 550-foot-long structure with a spillway crest at 743 feet above mean sea level to a 900-foot-long structure with a spillway crest at 746 feet above mean sea level; the creation of a 66-acre lateral storage area in Van Patten Woods by constructing berms parallel to the river on both banks with crest elevations equivalent to the 100-year flood elevation; the expansion of an existing flood storage reservoir occupying Buffalo Creek by removal of man-made hills and the excavation of new areas, totaling 20 acres, in the northern and western portions of the reservoir to increase its storage capacity by 476 acre-feet; the deepening of Big Bend Lake by nine feet and expanded from 27 acres to 62 acres to increase its storage capacity by 590 acre-feet; and the construction of two levees, one of which would include a floodwall. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $49.0 million and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.69. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damage in the affected area would decline by 19 percent, enhancing area economy and protecting human health and safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The structural measures would result in the loss of 25 acres of wetlands, including four acres of forested wetlands and 20 acres of emergent and scrub- shrub wetlands; however, the wetland mitigation (65 acres, including 50 acres of emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and 15 acres of forested wetlands) would result in a net gain of approximately 41 acres of wetlands, improving water quality and enhancing recreational opportunities and aesthetic values in the area. Phase I archaeological investigations would be required at two sites prior to commencement of construction activities.

Preparation date: July 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LATHAM RIVER/JEKYLL CREEK ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROJECT, GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA. AN - 36419453; 7500 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the Latham River and its adjacent marshes to its historic conditions, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The project area is an estuary along the Atlantic coast located about 70 miles south of Savannah, Georgia, and 50 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida. The estuary is composed of a network of rivers, creeks, tidal sloughs, and extensive tidal marshes. Jekyll Creek, which flows along the western side of Jekyll Island, forms a portion of the Atlantic Intracoastal waterway. Jekyll Creek is periodically dredged to maintain an adequate navigation channel, and sediments are deposited in an unconfined manner on marshes located between the creek and the Latham River. Some of these sediments enter the Latham River and reduce tidal flows from the southern portion of the river and help to reduce the size of the drainage basin. The decrease in tidal activity has led to a severe degradation of area marshes. The project would restore the historic tidal flows into the river basin. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the selected plan (Alternative 5), a channel in the Latham River would be dredged to minus-nine-foot mean low water elevation to increase the river's capacity to transport tidal flows. A channel 75 feet wide would be excavated in the main channel, and 50 feet wide in the eastern and western arms. All excavated sediments would be deposited in the man-made cut adjacent to the Jekyll Island Causeway, resulting in the eventual creation of 30 acres of saltmarsh. A 172-foot-long, four-lane bridge would be constructed along the causeway at the eastern channel to allow a reconnection of the north and south portions of Latham River. The estimated construction cost of the plan is $4.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Each of the project alternatives would result in substantial restoration of historical environmental conditions in the estuary. Nearly 1,300 acres of valuable saltmarsh would be substantially improved by restoration of tidal flows in Latham River. Water quality in the river and in Jekyll Creek would be greatly improved, benefiting fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging would destroy benthic habitat and temporarily increase water turbidity.

Preparation date: July 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WENTWORTH SPRINGS ROAD (CALIFORNIA FOREST HIGHWAY 137), EL DORADO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16345854; 7501 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a section of California Forest Highway (FH) 137, also known as Wentworth Springs Road, in Eldorado National Forest, located in eastern California, is proposed. FH 137 extends 34 miles eastward from State Route 193 in Georgetown to FH 136, also known as Ice House Road. The section proposed for reconstruction begins at the dam impounding Stumpy Meadows Reservoir and ends at FH 136, a distance of 14.4 miles. Segment 1, extending from Stumpy Meadows Reservoir to 11 Pines Road, a distance of 6.2 miles, is currently a two-lane, 20-foot-wide asphalt road. Though paved, this segment has been constructed without adequate subgrade, hence, the pavement is wearing prematurely, rutting, and sloughing. Segment 2, extending from 11 Pines Road to Ice House Road, a distance of 8.2 miles, is currently a 14-foot-wide graded earth road. This segment is rutted and narrow, contains sharp curves and steep grades, and lacks adequate drainage. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative B) would closely follow the alignment of the existing road except for improvements to reduce sharp curves and minor relocation work at four locations. A relatively low design speed of 25 miles per hour was selected to reduce construction impacts and to allow the facility to blend with the mountainous terrain. The modifications would comprise the improvement of the horizontal and vertical alignment, the structure stability, and the drainage. It would also comprise the widening of the road to include two 11-foot-wide paved lanes, a one-foot-wide shoulder, four-foot-wide foreslopes, and a four-foot-wide ditch on both sides of the roadway. The sharp curves would have wider pavement widths to accommodate long vehicles. An existing scenic overlook east of Stumpy Meadows Reservoir would be reconstructed, and paved pulloffs would be provided near the intersection of FH 137 and 11 Pines Road. The estimated construction cost is $10.0 million to $15.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the improvements would decrease the environmental degradation of the corridor, accommodate existing and anticipated traffic demands in this area of El Dorado County and the Eldorado National Forest, eliminate excessive maintenance costs for the county, provide better access for fire suppression and logging interests, and increase management flexibility for administrators of the national forest. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would remove 48.2 acres of mature mixed conifer community providing potential habitat for the bald eagles and American martens as well as habitat for numerous other common wildlife species. Small meadow wetland and spring-seep habitat would be adversely affected, and downstream hydrology of other wetlands could be adversely affected slightly. The direct takes of timberland for additional rights-of-way would result in permanent changes of land use and the degradation of visual quality along the corridor, but these would be minor. The project has been the subject of controversy for local residents, resulting in litigation against the Federal Highway Administration.

AN - 36423897; 7496 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, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action 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, increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries, and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. The 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: The 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. The 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 affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

Preparation date: July 15, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FAYETTEVILLE OUTER LOOP CORRIDOR STUDY (FEDERAL AID NUMBERS DPR-0100(001) AND DPR-0100(002), NCDOT PROJECT NUMBERS 8.2441301 AND 8.T441302, AND TIP ID NUMBERS U-2519 AND X-2); CUMBERLAND, HOKE, AND ROBESON COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36414742; 7492 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway, to be known as the Fayetteville Outer Loop, around a portion of the city of Fayetteville, located in southern North Carolina, is proposed. The 27-mile project would extend from an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) in Robeson County, continue north through Cumberland and Hoke counties, turn eastward along the southern boundary of the Fort Bragg Military Reservation, and end just west of Ramsey Street (US 401). Seventeen alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would be a four-lane, divided freeway, with full-access control. Grade separations or interchanges would be constructed at selected public crossroads. The design elements would include a minimum right-of-way of 350 feet, a depressed median width of either 70 feet or 46 feet, and a collector/distributor roadway system between the All American Freeway (State Route 1007) and Bragg Boulevard (North Carolina 24). The project would be executed via six separate construction projects, with the right-of-way acquisition for the entire project continuing over a period of four years. In conjunction with I-95, the Fayetteville Outer Loop would complete a circumferential freeway around the city of Fayetteville. In addition to 13 build alignment alternatives, a mass transit alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, and an alternative involving the improvement of existing facilities are under consideration. The estimated construction and rights-of-way acquisition costs of the build alternatives range from $280.5 million to $303.3 million and from $52.5 million to $63.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Motor vehicle accessibility in the Fayetteville area would improve, easing passenger movement and boosting the economy. The freeway would provide direct access to I-95 and reduce the congestion on many roads. The freeway would fulfill Fayetteville Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan and Cumberland County 2010 Land Use Plan goals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way acquisition and development would result in the displacement of 224 to 326 residents, five to six businesses, three to four nonprofit organizations, 163 to 455.3 acres of farmland, and 145 to 195.2 acres of riparian wetlands. The alignment would traverse 47.6 to 70.9 acres of floodplain land, adversely affecting 26,305 to 32,715 linear feet of stream channel. Noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 323 to 459 residential receptor sites. Five of the alternatives would adversely affect a National Wildlife Refuge System wetland conservation easement held by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and eight of the alternatives would adversely affect the Shaw-Gillis property, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 36409343; 7495 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the Vancouver National Historic Reserve, located in southwestern Washington, is proposed. Vancouver and the area designated as the reserve have played a central role in significant events in the history of the West and the Pacific Northwest. This influence extended from the Indian nations long established by the time of Lewis and Clark, through the fur and trade monopoly of the British Empire in the Oregon Territory, to the U.S. Army's continuing presence beginning in 1849. The 366-acre reserve contains the Fort Vancouver Historic Site, Vancouver Barracks, Officers Row, Pearson Field, the Water Resources Education Center, a marine park, and portions of the Columbia River waterfront. The reserve will be managed by a partnership involving the National Park Service, the Department of the Army, the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative C), are considered in this draft EIS. The goals of the preferred alternative (Alternative A) would be the preservation of historic structures, physical assets, and cultural landscapes; education and interpretation of the significance and history of the area for public benefit; and the public use of and accessibility to the reserve. These overlapping goals would be reached through public and private partnerships and funding to ensure economic balance and sustainability for all new endeavors. In addition to the restoration of structures and landscapes, the plan would provide for a visitors' center, interpretative facilities throughout the site, and access, circulation, and parking facilities. Alternative B would involve the restoration of more historic structures and landscapes than under Alternative A. The estimated total development cost are $38.0 million to $61.5 million. The estimated Barracks renovation costs are $26.6 to $48.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The restoration and interpretation of site resources would provide the public with insights into the historic role of the area in the pre-Colonial, Colonial, and post-Colonial history of the region and the nation. The plan would complement the renovation of downtown Vancouver and enhance the retail and service economy of the city, particularly the tourist economy. Property tax valuations would increase, thereby increasing the local tax base. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Finding tenants for the Vancouver Barracks buildings who would be compatible with its historic character could prove difficult. Achieving consensus among partners could prove difficult due to the complexity of issues involved, the limited availability of funding, and the differing missions of the partners. Some traffic patterns in the vicinity of the reserve would be altered, and local traffic volumes could increase. Traffic congestion, noise, and demand for parking could adversely affect nearby tenants of Officers Row and local neighborhoods.

Preparation date: July 14, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COLORADO FOREST HIGHWAY 80--GUANELLA PASS ROAD (PARK COUNTY ROAD 62, CLEAR CREEK COUNTY ROAD 381, AND FOREST DEVELOPMENT ROAD 118), GRANT TO GEORGETOWN, ARAPAHO AND PIKE NATIONAL FORESTS, CLEAR CREEK AND PARK COUNTIES, COLORADO. AN - 16346354; 7483 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 23.6 miles of Colorado Forest Highway 80, Guanella Pass Road (also known as Park County Road 62, Clear Creek County Road 381, and Forest Development Road 118), in the Pike and Arapaho national forests, located in central Colorado, is proposed. The project would begin at US Highway 285 in the community of Grant and extend northward to the community of Georgetown. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and four realignment alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would include reconstructing and paving the entire road to a consistent width. Alternative 2 would include 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). Alternative 3 would include 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. Alternative 4 would include 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 is $25.4 to $40.1 million, depending on the alternative under consideration. The estimated maintenance costs over the next 20 years are $9.3 million for the No Action Alternative and $4.8 million to $7.5 million for the action alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a roadway width and surface capable of accommodating traffic volumes through the year 2015, 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 costs of maintaining the road, eliminate roadway drainage problems such that wetlands and associated wildlife habitat would be enhanced by reducing sediment runoff, and repair existing unvegetated slopes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of access would place pressure on dispersed recreational resources. The project would have indirect impacts on 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. Action alternatives could adversely affect the visual quality of the historic district.

AN - 16353231; 7480 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to mitigate shoreline erosion problems at Long Beach, located in eastern New Jersey, is proposed. The study evaluates existing conditions and shoreline erosion problems between Barnegat Inlet and Little Egg Inlet. Shoreline erosion has left the structures and infrastructure along this stretch of the Atlantic Coast vulnerable to storm damage. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The selected plan would involve berm and dune restoration utilizing sand obtained from offshore borrow sources. The project activities would provide a dune at an elevation of 22 feet NAVD, with a 30-foot crest width and a berm width of 125 feet from the centerline of the dune. The plan would require 4.95 million cubic yards (mcy) of sand for initial berm placement and 2.45 mcy for dune placement. An additional 1.9 mcy would be needed every seven years over the 50-year analysis period. The berm and dune restoration would extend from groin 4 (Seaview Drive, Loveladies) to the terminal groin (groin 98) in Holgate, Long Beach Township, a distance of approximately 17 miles. The Barnegat Light area, at the north end of the study area, would not be included in the initial placement of sand due to low background erosion and ample shoreline protection. The Barnegat Light area is being considered as a sand source. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authorities have stated that they do not consider beach nourishment in line with the non-intervention plan in place for the Holgate Unit of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge; hence, the Holgate Unit, which lies at the southern end of the study area, would not be included in the nourishment plan. The estimated initial cost of the projects is $38.5 million. The estimated cost of periodic nourishment is $14.1 million for the first three cycles on a seven-year cycle, $15.2 million for the remaining four cycles, and $11.7 million for major renourishment following a major storm or series of storms. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.15. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would prevent beach erosion, providing a recreational resources as well as protecting structures and public infrastructure in the study area. The annual benefits would be worth $10.6 million. The berm and dune restoration could increase nesting and beach habitat and enhance the backshore environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The greater due heights could necessitate covering existing dune grasses. The benthic habitat at the borrow site would be destroyed. The dunes could cause some inconvenience to residents.

AN - 16338145; 7477 AB - PURPOSE: The assessment of potential future scenarios with respect to permits for the filling of wetlands in Lee and Collier counties, located along the southwest coast of Florida, is proposed. The 988,800-acre study area 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. The pressure for development has resulted in requests for permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Jacksonville District) (Corps) to fill a substantial extent of wetlands in the study area. Based on data and maps from a geographic information system from the work of an alternatives development group, water quality modeling, and other sources, a number of predicted futures for the study area were evaluated. 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 possible ensembles and the criteria that, if applied, would result in each of those ensembles, are considered in this draft EIS, which would be used by the Corps and other agencies to evaluate the cumulative impacts of future permit decisions in the study area. Each ensemble comprises of four of the 29 alternatives and selects one alternative from Zoom A, one from Zoom B, one from Zoom C, and one from Zoom D, so that the ensemble covers the entire study area. This EIS will not identify a preferred alternative. The ensembles describe several futures that might result from a combination of actions by landowners. 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: NONE. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

One- and two-dimensional sediment transport models are commonly used for predicting sediment scour and deposition. They are adequate for many engineering applications; however, for some problems, only a three-dimensional model should be used. A three-dimensional model is necessary for predicting sediment erosion and deposition whenever significant secondary currents exist, such as in river bends, crossings, distributaries, or diversions. In diversions, for example, the sediment load may not split in the same proportions as the flow. A three-dimensional model can be used to estimate the sediment split. This paper presents a description of the three-dimensional numerical model CH3D-SED and the governing equations for the model. The validation of the model and its application to the Deep Draft Navigation Project on the lower Mississippi River also are presented.

The report also includes continuation results from two research areas, toxicity testing of surface soils at the demonstration site and integration of biomarker data into the model 3DFATMIC (3-Dimensional Subsurface Flow, Fate, and Transport of Microbes and Chemicals). Results of stable isotope studies indicated that changes in carbon isotope ratios were too small to detect. Therefore, this approach is not feasible. However, changes in nitrogen ratios in TNT found in groundwater were detected across the contaminant plume. Once the rate and magnitude of these changes are related quantitatively to TNT attenuation rates, this approach may be feasible for monitoring attenuation processes. In toxicity tests, the significant negative correlation between TNT concentration and viable biomass in aquifer soils at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, Doyline, LA, could not be related to toxicity of TNT to the indigenous microflora. In the modeling research area, the 3DFAIMIC model exhibited a problem in the numerical code, and the amount of biomass data proved too small. Predictive simulations may be possible with the model once the code is revised and additional biomass data become available.

Between 50% and 90% of the bathymetrie variability at this site was explained by alongshore-uniform response over the approximately 1 km alongshore span of the surveys. Although the incident wave height variance was dominated by frequencies at or higher than 1 cycle/yr, more than 80% of the bathymetric variance at all cross-shore locations was explained by frequencies <1 cycle/yr. Interannual cycles consisting of sandbar formation, migration, and decay contributed to the low-frequency variability. The observed behavior can be explained by a simple, heuristic model. The model assumes that bars migrate toward a wave height dependent equilibrium position. This position was shown to coincide with the wave "breakpoint." Additionally, the rate of bar response is taken to be variable and was empirically determined to be proportional to the wave height cubed. The net effect of a variable response rate is to shift the expected long-term mean sandbar position offshore, toward the equilibrium position associated with the largest waves. The model explained up to 80% of the observed bar position time series variance and up to 70% of the variance of bar crest velocity time series, which were extracted from three different sandbars. Characteristic bar response times (related to the inverse of the response rate) were found to be long relative to the characteristic timescale of the forcing (1 year in our case). As a result, transient response (i.e., bar position far from equilibrium) tended to persist for many cycles of the forcing. Transient bar behavior appears in the observations when bars formed near the shoreline or when outer bars decayed and inner bars faced a changed wave climate. While the present model is able to explain the evolution of these transients, it does not contain a mechanism for their introduction. Copyright 1999 by the American Geophysical Union.

In many cases, an unstable toe will result in the failure of an otherwise adequately repaired structure. Markle (1986) found that toe instability was evident on the coastlines of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. All sites reporting toe instability were located in an environment in which both waves and flow were present. Toe instability is not always easily diagnosed, because the toe is not usually visible from above the waterline. Many times toe instability is present but goes unnoticed until failure of the armor side slopes occurs. Additionally, toe stone is difficult to replace; therefore, it is important to determine the most stable and economical size for design and repair.

For projects located in the vicinity of inlets, the complexity in defining magnitudes and pathways of sediment transport increases significantly. A regional approach considering all available data types and their uncertainties, seasonal and yearly variability, and potential variation in assumptions is required to fully characterize conditions at a project area. Recent advances in sediment-budget applications are reviewed herein, and a newly-developed PC-based program, the Sediment Budget Analysis System (SBAS), is presented. The SBAS allows the practitioner to take a regional approach in formulating sediment budgets for inlets and adjacent beaches, while accounting for uncertainties, variability, and ranges associated with values comprising the budget. An example sediment budget for an inlet is developed with SBAS to highlight some of the recent conceptual advances.

AN - 16350974; 7474 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Red Mountain Freeway between State Route 87 (SR 87) and US Route 60 (US 60) in the city of Mesa, located in southwestern Arizona, is proposed. The six-lane, limited-access freeway would follow a new 17.8-mile alignment along the northern and eastern city limits of Mesa. The project would include a freeway-to-freeway interchange with US 60. A three-mile section of the Red Mountain Freeway from the Price/Pima Freeway to SR 87 was approved for construction in 1994. The freeway extension would provide an east-west link between two major highways and help to accommodate the 81 percent increase in daily traffic volume anticipated by the year 2015. For analysis purposes, the study corridor has been divided into an eastern segment and a western segment. Two alternative alignments and a No Action Alternative are under consideration for the western segment, and three alternative alignments and a No Action Alternative for the eastern segment in this final EIS. Under the preferred western alternative (the 1988-1989 Alignment Alternative), which would extend from State Route 87 to Higley road, the alignment would be adjusted to avoid radio towers located between SR 87 and Center Street and to avoid historic structures and properties that are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Traffic interchanges would occur at SR 87, Gilbert Road, Val Vista Street, Greenfield Road, and Higley Road. In the eastern segment, the preferred alternative (the 1988-1989 Alignment Alternative), which would extend from Higley Road to US 60, would include full interchanges at Higley, McKellips, and Brown roads, partial diamond interchanges at Power and McDowell roads, and sufficient right-of-way to develop a traffic interchange, when necessary at Recker Road. The estimated total costs of the preferred alternatives are $327.5 million and $225.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve traffic flow conditions in Maricopa County, serve regional transportation needs, and relieve existing traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative in the western segment would displace 550.5 acres of land in Mesa and 68.3 acres of land in unincorporated Maricopa County, including 56 acres of agricultural land, as well as 50 houses, 13 mobile homes, up to five businesses, and, possibly, one church and one communication tower. A total of 21 historic properties would be adversely affected. The preferred alternative in the eastern segment would displace 438 acres of land in Mesa and 75 acres of land in unincorporated Maricopa County, including 50 acres of agricultural land, as well as 41 houses, 155 mobile homes, up to four businesses, and, possibly three public facilities. The eastern segment alternative would affect 12.4 acres of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., and, together, the two alternatives would adversely affect 220.4 acres of floodplain and displace 339.3 acres of desert scrub and successional habitat. Neighborhood cohesiveness would be adversely affected in some areas. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at 13 receptor sites. The western alignment would directly and adversely affect properties located along the Lehi Historic District as well as seven archaeological sites, while the eastern alignment would adversely affect one archaeological site. The visual resources for rural and residential users would be degraded.

Preparation date: July 1, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY OF VIRGINIA REGIONAL LANDFILL PROJECT, SUFFOLK, NANSEMOND COUNTY, VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1995). AN - 36414603; 7463 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion by the Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA) of its existing regional landfill onto an adjacent 525-acre parcel of land, located in the city of Suffolk in southeastern Virginia, is proposed. The SPSA serves the disposal needs of Virginia Beach and seven other communities in the south Hampton Roads area. The service area is situated just below the confluence of the Elizabeth, James, and Nansemond rivers. The regional landfill is one component of a multicomponent waste management system that also includes a refuse-derived fuel facility and power plant, a yard waste management facility, a tire recycling facility, a ferrous metal processing plant, a recycling program, and solid waste transfer stations located throughout the service area. The waste management system requires the use of the regional landfill to dispose of noncombustible and nonrecyclable materials as well as certain recycling wastes. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of May 1995. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), approximately 230 acres of landfill space would be dedicated fill area, 190 acres would be used as borrow area, and approximately 25 acres would accommodate a leachate management area. The maximum fill height of the terraced area mound landfill, limited by the proximity of the Hampton Road Airport, would be 145 feet above the existing ground level. Methods that would extend the life of the current landfill are examined in this document but since they would not alleviate the eventual need for a new landfill, they are not considered as alternatives that could be implemented instead of the project. One other site alternative for the landfill, a 700-acre site on the Isle of Wight, is also under consideration. This draft supplement to the final EIS includes a revised wetland mitigation plan for the expansion site as well as new information on waste projections, additional design opportunities, analyses of private landfills located outside the service area, new methods to increase capacities at existing facilities, and SPSA's long-term plan to minimize future wetland impacts. In addition, the supplemental EIS reports that Isle of Wight site is not longer available to SPSA. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help meet the waste disposal needs of a fast-growing section of the southeastern Virginia. The expansion of the existing site would be more cost-effective than developing a new site; life cycle costs through the year 2020 would have increased $187 million for the Isle of Wight site. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would adversely affect an estimated 377 acres of wetlands. Approximately 200 acres of wetlands would be filled by the landfill and perimeter roads, 152 acres would be excavated as borrow for daily cover material, and 25 acres would be converted to a leachate management facility. It is estimated that 64 species of amphibians and reptiles and 43 species of mammals occur in or near the expansion site. Since the site is heavily wooded and lies directly north of the Great Dismal Swamp, an estimated 55 species of birds and two endangered species would be present in the area.

Preparation date: June 24, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TELLURIDE SKI AREA PROPOSED EXPANSION PROJECT, UNCOMPAHGRE NATIONAL FOREST, SAN MIGUEL COUNTY, COLORADO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1996). AN - 16348914; 7464 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Telluride Ski Area in the Uncompahgre National Forest, located in southwestern Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is located directly south of the town of Telluride, approximately 330 miles southwest of Denver. Since 1971, it has been operated through a special- use permit issued to the Telluride Company; the ski area encompasses approximately 3,761 acres of national forest land and 326 acres of private land. An administrative appeal was submitted against the July 1996 Record of Decision for the project. As a result of the appeal, the Appeal Deciding Officer directed the Forest Supervisor to disclose and specify additional information pertaining to socioeconomic impacts, best management practices, impacts to instream flows of the San Miguel River, and off-season life operation. Subsequently, a civil complaint was filed against the Forest Service, which consisted of four counts dealing with potential inadequacies in the final EIS, exclusion of exhibits in the Appeal Record, potential Forest Service bias, and possible violation of the Clean Air Act. On June 30, 1997, the forest Supervisor withdrew the decision on the project pending further review and analysis. This final supplemental EIS addresses the points raised by the Appeal Deciding Officer, the points raised in the civil complaint, and additional information that has become available since the release of the final EIS. Six alternatives, including the originally proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this statement. Under the Forest Service's preferred alternative, the management plan would generally resemble the applicant's proposal but minor modifications were made in order to minimize social, physical, and environmental effects. Under this plan, six lift pods with associated runs, trails, and gladed areas would be constructed; lift number 6 and its trail and run system would be realigned along the upper terminal; four restaurants would be developed and an existing restaurant would be expanded; off-season recreational activities would be expanded in order to provide additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding and continued hang gliding access; and a lodge and series of small cabins would be developed in the Prospect Basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, implementation would provide new and improved ski facilities, increase the size and diversity of the existing resort, expand summer recreational opportunities, and enhance amenities of the overall area. The project would generate considerable revenue and stimulate the local economy; the increase in off-season opportunities would help to stabilize the year-round population and incomes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities, would adversely affect 665 acres of common vegetation; reduce cover for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion; and displace wetlands. The cleared or graded areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. The potential for avalanches would increase at some sites.

Preparation date: June 23, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EVERETT-TO-SEATTLE COMMUTER RAIL PROJECT, CITIES OF EVERETT, MUKILTEO, EDMONDS, SHORELINE, AND THE SEATTLE WATERFRONT, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36418577; 7457 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Sounder commuter rail system along a 35-mile corridor between Everett and Seattle, located in northwestern central Washington, is proposed. The project is a component of Sound Move, a 10-year plan for regional high-capacity transportation adopted by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority. Traffic delays in the central Puget Sound region consistently rate among the worst in the county. The population in the region is expected to grow from 2.2 million to 2.3 million over the next 25 years. The rail system would be located within existing Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company rights-of-way. The Sounder line would connect the proposed Seattle-to-Tacoma Sounder commuter rail service and the proposed Link central light rail transit line between North Seattle and SeaTac, at King Street Station in downtown Seattle. The commuter rail service would consist of six trains during each peak commuting period (6:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 to 7:00 P.M.), for a total of 12 trains per day. At least two of the trains during each peak period would continue through King Street Station to Tacoma, thus providing service between Everett and Tacoma on the same train. One or two reverse-commute trips would occur during each commute period. Occasionally, special train service would be made available if the demand existed. Operating the commuter service in this busy freight corridor would require improvements to the existing railroad rights-of-way and the installation of operational facilities. The improvements would include additional sidings (passing tracks) and some sections of double-tracking as well as new signal equipment. Each commuter rail station would consist of a platform (up to 1,000 feet in length and 15 to 20 feet in width) adjacent to each side of the tracks for passenger boarding. Parking facilities would be provided at most stations. Commuter rail facilities could be incorporated into facilities for other transportation modes at the planned multimodal facilities in Everett, Mukilteo, and Edmonds. Light maintenance and overnight care storage facilities would be included at the Everett multimodal facility. Heavy maintenance would be conducted at Amtrak's planned heavy maintenance yard. In addition to the proposed alternative, this draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative, station location alternatives, and two corridor improvement alternatives. The proposed action's estimated capital costs are $104 million. The estimated annual operating and maintenance costs are $9.0 million to $10 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The rail system would provide peak-hour commuter rail service between key activity centers along the corridor, including two of the region's largest population and employment centers, namely, Seattle and Everett. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Intermittent steep to moderately steep bluffs, which lie adjacent to the east side of the project corridor, would be adversely affected by rail facilities construction and operation, causing erosion and possible sedimentation of receiving waters. Landslides could also result. The rail line would lie within a seismically active area. The construction at some alternative station and corridor locations would alter drainage channels, disturb wetlands, encroach on floodplain land, disturb forest and shrub habitat, displace aquatic habitat, and/or mar visual quality.

Preparation date: June 18, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CROSS-BASE CORRIDOR, WEST GRAY SQUIRREL GENETIC STUDY AND OAK HABITAT STUDY, PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36422137; 7445 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of wildlife protection plan in association with the construction of 5.9 miles of arterial roadway between Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route (SR) 7 (Pacific Avenue), located in the city of Lakewood and Pierce County in west-central Washington, is proposed. The highway, to be known as Cross-Base Highway, would extend from the Thorne Lane interchange on I-5 to the intersection of 176th Street South and SR 7. The roadway would provide four through lanes. In addition to a No Action Alternative, a transportation demand management/transportation system management (TDM/TSM) and two primary build alternatives were considered in the draft EIS of May 1998; two alignment variations of one of the primary build alternatives were also considered. TDM strategies would include employer-based programs, support facilities, telecommunications facilities, and transportation pricing and land use strategies. TSM strategies would include traditional improvements such as intersection and traffic signal enhancements, transit improvements and street and highway management techniques such as ramp metering and high-occupancy- vehicle priority treatments. TDM/TSM strategies were rejected. Under the build alternative, the access would be limited to three signalized intersections, including two in American Lake Gardens and one at the Spanaway Loop Road S extension, and an interchange at A Street providing access to McChord Air Force Base. The existing Thorne Lane interchange would be reconstructed to accommodate additional traffic, and the intersection of 176th Street South and SR 7 would be enlarged, providing additional lanes for turning movements. On Fort Lewis, Lincoln Road would be realigned to connect with the A Street interchange and a new military access road between Fort Lewis and McChord AFT would be provided on the east side of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad right-of-way. Depending on the build alternative chosen, the estimated cost of the project at the time of the draft EIS ranged from $66.6 million to $71.81 million. This draft supplement addresses the fact that the new roadway would compound existing barriers to wildlife movement, including Perimeter Road and the McChord Air Force Base security fence, and would isolate habitat north of the roadway. This habitat has been used by western gray squirrel, a state-listed endangered species. The draft EIS addressed this issue along with impacts to the Garry oak (also known as the Oregon white oak) woodland habitat that would result from the project. This draft supplement presents a genetic analysis of western gray squirrels and a detailed mapping and evaluation of oak woodlands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Cross-Base Highway would provide a necessary link in the regional transportation system, connecting existing and planned residential areas in mid- Pierce County and north Thurston County with two of the largest employment sites in Pierce County and Fredrickson and DuPont. The arterial road would reduce projected traffic volumes and congestion, particularly during peak periods, on existing roads, including SR 7, SR 512, SR 507, Spanaway Loop Road S, and 174th Street S. All these roads are projected to operate at, near or above capacity in the year 2017 if additional east-west capacity is not added. The Pierce County Comprehensive Plan assumes the development of an arterial link between the mid- Pierce County area and the cities of Lakewood and DuPont. The genetic analyses reported in the supplemental EIS indicate that substantial genetic divergence across squirrel populations in the area have not occurred. In addition microsatellite markers identified will assist in identifying population-level relatedness to determine which populations would be the best choice for augmentation of the local population affected by the project. The oak habitat study indicates that suitable squirrel habitat would be more extensive in 50 years than at present. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending upon the alternative chosen, the project could result in the displacement of Clover Park Head State/American Lake South Facility, the isolation of 15 properties along Murray Road SW, or the displacement of land owned by Fort Lewis and used by the technical college. The acquisition of right- of-way would also require the displacement of 10 to 312 housing units and up to three businesses. Under one alternative, minority populations would be adversely affected by the isolation of the southwest corner of American Lake Gardens. The highway construction would displace 47 acres of wildlife habitat, including forest and scrub communities, and the highway would present a barrier to wildlife movements. The project would adversely affect 2.95 acres of Pierce County wetland buffer, and the operation of the highway would adversely affect water detention and treatment, drainage patterns, water quality, and wildlife habitat. The traffic on the highway would increase noise levels within the corridor significantly, though noise barriers would mitigate adverse impacts to residents. The noise and traffic would alter the setting for the Woodbrook Hunt Club and generally change the visual appearance of the area adjacent to the corridor. The estimated annual tax revenue losses resulting from displacements, as in the draft EIS, are $15,370 to $92,253.

Preparation date: June 11, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH-SOUTH EXPRESSWAY, INTERSTATE 220, LOUISIANA TO THE ARKANSAS STATE LINE, CADDO PARISH, LOUISIANA. AN - 16339797; 7485 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, fully-controlled-access highway on a new alignment between Interstate 220 (I-220) in the city of Shreveport, and the Louisiana/Arkansas state line, located in the northwestern corner of Louisiana, is proposed. The 35-mile highway (to be known as the North-South Expressway) would generally parallel US 71 within Caddo Parish in close proximity to the communities of Shreveport, Blanchard, Mooringsport, Dixie, Oil City, Belcher, Gilliam, Vivian, Hosston, Mira, Rodessa, and Ida. The North-South Expressway would form the southern segment of a congressionally designated High Priority Corridor running from Shreveport to Kansas City, Missouri. These corridors would complement the existing interstate system, integrate regions of the country, improve safety and efficiency of travel and commerce, and promote economic development. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. A preferred alignment alternative is identified for each segment. The estimated total costs of construction and rights-of-way acquisition for the preferred alternatives are $416.5 million and $36.9 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would complete a critical link in the interstate system; facilitate local, regional, and national economic growth; provide sufficient capacity for the growing population of the study area; improve traffic safety and emergency response times; improve the connectivity of existing rail, bus, air, and waterborne transportation modes; improve access to medical facilities, other social services, and recreational attractions in the area; and improve efficiency of transportation for trucking industries and businesses and facilities dependent on trucking. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirement for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 37 residences, five mobile homes, one business, and three churches as well as 137 acres of wetlands and 742.4 acres of prime farmland and 340.5 acres of farmland of local importance. The project would encroach upon 539.7 acres of floodplain land and encounter 40 active oil and gas wells. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 114 receptor sites. The preferred alignments would pass through 1,208.4 acres of land with high probability of cultural resource sites and traverse four sites potentially containing hazardous waste and three active water wells.

Preparation date: June 9, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REELFOOT LAKE; FULTON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, AND LAKE AND OBION COUNTIES, TENNESSEE. AN - 16353159; 7442 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land and water resource management plan to benefit wildlife habitat in the Reelfoot Lake area, located in northwestern Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky, is proposed. The study area lies, which encompasses approximately 33,000 acres, east of the Mississippi River approximately 120 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee and six miles east of Tiptonville, Tennessee. Reelfoot Lake covers approximately 15,500 acres at a pool elevation of 282.2 feet National Geodetic Veridical Datum. The lake is a nationally significant and unique natural resource, constituting the largest natural freshwater lake in Tennessee and one of the largest in the country. The lake provides nesting and feeding habitat for the bald eagle, a threatened species, as well as one of the most productive fisheries in the area. Located on the Mississippi Flyway, the lake is used extensively by waterfowl, as recognized by international and regional authorities. Flood control and drainage improvements in the basin have dramatically impacted the quality of fish and wildlife habitat. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the recommended plan (Alternative 5b), the project would involve the construction of an alternative spillway, bridge, inlet and outlet channels, and circulation channels for Reelfoot Lake as well as the construction of a sediment basin on Reelfoot Creek, the restoration of Shelby Lake, the creation of waterfowl management units, and the improvement of the Lake Isom National Wildlife Refuge. The plan would also include the implementation of a dynamic water level management plan for Reelfoot Lake designed to improve aquatic habitat in the lake. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $30.07 million, and the estimated average annual cost is $2.7 million. The estimated fully funded cost of the plan is $35.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the plan would protect and enhance wildlife habitat within two national wildlife refuges, a state wildlife management area, and a state park. The full implementation would produce 1,469 terrestrial habitat unit values, 4,270 aquatic habitat unit values, and 13.4 million waterfowl habitat unit values annually. A gradual increase in recreation-related commerce would result as the lake responds to a desirable water level management plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction would adversely affect 40 acres of woodlands and wetlands, but these impacts would be more than offset by habitat gained by each feature. Slightly higher winter water levels could adversely affect approximately 600 acres of Kentucky cropland. Approximately 935 acres of farmland would be acquired, but 360 acres would be leased back to area farmers. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Works Appropriations Act (P.L. 94-355).

Breton Sound estuary encompasses 1100 km (super 2) of fresh and brackish, rapidly subsiding wetlands. Nitrite + nitrate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonium, total phosphorus, total suspended sediments, and salinity concentrations were monitored at seven locations in Breton Sound from 1988 to 1994. Statistical analysis of the data indicated decreased total Kjeldahl nitrogen with associated decrease in total nitrogen, and decreased salinity concentrations in the estuary due to the diversion. Spring and summer water quality transects indicated rapid reduction of nitrite + nitrate and total suspended sediment concentration as diverted Mississippi River water entered the estuary, suggesting near complete assimilation of these constituents by the ecosystem. Loading rates of nitrite + nitrate (5.6-13.4 g m-2 yr (super -1) ), total nitrogen (8.9-23.4 g m (super -2) yr (super -1) ), and total phosphorus (0.9-2.0 g m (super -2) yr (super -1) ) were calculated along with removal efficiencies for these constituents (nitrite + nitrate 88-97%; total nitrogen 32-57%; total phosphorus 0-46%). The low impact of the diversion on water quality in the Breton Sound estuary, along with assimilation of TSS over a very short distance, suggests that more water may be introduced into the estuary without detrimental affects. This would be necessary if freshwater diversions are to be used to distribute nutrients and sediments into the lower reaches of the estuary, in an effort to compensate for relative sea-level rise, and reverse the current trend of rapid loss of wetlands in coastal Louisiana.

The population has already outstripped domestic food production, and it is estimated that the population will be 8 million by the year 2000. One-third of the population lives in the Departement de I'Ouest where Port-au-Prince is located. Heavy migration from rural areas to towns and cities occurring over the past decade has adversely affected the distribution of the water supply. Access to water and sanitation facilities is inadequate, contributing to poor living conditions, disease, and a high mortality rate. In 1990 only 39 percent of the 5.9 million residents had adequate access to water and only 24 percent to sanitation. The lack of potable water for basic human needs is one of the most critical problems in the country. 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. However, the water supply sector is undergoing complete transformation. Although currently there is no comprehensive water policy, progress is being made towards establishing a national water resources management policy. Numerous agencies and non-government organizations (NGO's) are working to provide water, many of which conduct their missions with little or no coordination with other agencies, which creates duplication of work and inefficient use of resources. The Reform Unit for Potable Water (URSEP) is a special agency created recently to help organize the efforts of the various agencies in the water sector. Pollution of the water resources is a significant problem. Contamination of surface water and shallow ground water aquifers are prevalent throughout the country. Domestic wastewater and agricultural runoff causes biological contamination of water near and downstream of populated places. Currently there is no public system for the collection and treatment of wastewater. Indications are that contamination is increasing rapidly, especially for surface water. The amount of water pollution is important because much of the population still uses surface water and ground water from shallow aquifers for their water supply. Deforestation, with its devastating environmental consequences, is a serious problem in Haiti. Lac de Peligre, the only major reservoir in the country, has lost 30 percent of its storage capacity due to sedimentation caused by deforestation. Deforestation accelerates soil erosion, decreases the amount of recharge to aquifers by increasing surface runoff, damages barrier reefs and ecosystems, increases turbidity which affects mangroves, decreases agricultural production, and causes problems and increased maintenance of water systems and impoundments. Hydrologic data is lacking also. As of April 1998, only 3 of the 35 gaging stations and 25 percent of the hydrometeorological gages were functional. The technical information obtained from such a network is critical for effective water resources management. If the recommendations for watershed management are adopted, if progress is made toward reducing the untreated waste entering the nation's waterways, and if a national water resources management policy is implemented, positive, immediate, and long-term benefits could be realized.

As part of this process, a method to quantify objectives for different water uses without a complete economic analysis is presented. Quantifying each water use objective requires adoption of a numerical scale to provide an indicator for measuring the effectiveness of alternative operational strategies. This indicator of effectiveness is necessary to analytically compare different operational strategies. The technique shown allows representation of water values through relative unit costs according to value categories set by the interest groups. To demonstrate the modeling approach and test the methodology for quantifying objectives, a single reservoir system is analyzed according to the procedures advocated. The advantages and difficulties of applying this optimization-simulation approach to help resolve conflict are discussed. JF - Research Documents.

It has been changed from a multi-channeled meandering river with islands, sandbars, and a diverse floodplain to a straighter and shorter navigation channel resembling a wide canal through cornfields. Its flow regime has changed from semiannual flooding causing dramatic channel realignments followed by drying through the fall and winter, to one of greatly diminished peakflows and two regulated flow ranges through the year. Direct and indirect habitat losses include 100,000 acres aquatic, 88,000 acres riparian, and 364,000 acres of meander belt. The Missouri's biological standing crop has declined by perhaps 80%, several species have become endangered, benthos habitat has declined by 65%, and floodplain wetlands and forests have nearly vanished. Two bird species are threatened or endangered and others may soon be.

Ambient water velocity was set to 11 cm times s super(-1), with regular 5-minute pulses of 45 cm times s super(-1) occurring every 0.5, 2.0, or 5.0 hours. After 49 days mussels showed no significant inter-treatment differences in respiration, nitrogen excretion, O:N ratio, or tissue condition index. Additional short-term (14 days) laboratory experiments indicated additive effects of increased total suspended solids (TSS) during brief, intermittent periods of high water velocity. The 5-minute episodes of high velocity (50 cm times s super(-1)) occurred once every 0.5 and 3.0 hours against an ambient velocity of 7 cm times s super(-1). TSS rose from an ambient concentration of 20 mg times liter super(-1) to 120 mg times liter super(-1) during the episodes of high velocity. Significantly lower nitrogen excretion and higher O:N tended to occur in high versus ambient TSS treatments; however, these differences were small and inconsistent both among species within a treatment and among treatments for a particular species.

Many previously-unknown environmental problems related to chemicals are surfacing. White phosphorus, a chemical commonly used as an obscurant, is a chemical previously thought to be innocuous after use. In 1990, however, it was linked to the deaths of thousands of waterfowl at the Eagle River Flats impact area on Ft Richardson near Anchorage, Alaska, USA, and shortly after, a series of remedial investigations was initiated. This paper describes three of the remedial methods currently under investigation, namely enhanced in-situ remediation, pond draining through ditching or pumping, and dredging. These three approaches are best applied in different environments, but they can be used together or in conjunction with other strategies. Their impacts on the environment will vary as well. Experience with these remediation strategies has proven very useful in determining the direction that the clean-up effort at Eagle River Flats (ERF) should take. Dredging, an effective means of removing contaminated sediments for off-site remediation, has been shown to be too slow and expensive at the ERF because unexploded ordnance is present. Enhanced natural remediation is effective under favourable climatological conditions in areas that experience intermittent flooding, but desaturation of the sediments is critical to its effectiveness. Pond draining by blasting a ditch effectively removes waterfowl feeding habitat, but attenuation of the contaminant is inhibited because the ditch increases flooding frequency, and the habitat alteration is permanent. Pond pumping, where feasible, has shown great potential for the desaturating of wide areas of ERF, enabling the natural attenuation mechanism to progress. Further investigation will be necessary to confirm these initial conclusions and determine the overall effectiveness of all three methodologies. Methods developed over the course of this work may be applied to other remediation projects where in-situ volatilization can occur and limited disturbance of wetlands is critical.

Managers attempting to plant mangrove in sites containing artificial substrates must remove substrates or risk poor performance of rehabilitation efforts. This study compared propagule retention, early survival, growth, flowering success, and nutrient concentrations of Avicennia marina (grey mangrove) grown on sand, naturally occurring substrate, and rock blast furnace slag over two growing seasons at an experimental site near Newcastle, Australia. Nutrient concentrations of experimental plants were also compared to those of naturally occurring plants. Experimental results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in short-term survival, growth over the two growing seasons, and carbon and nitrogen concentrations between plants grown on different substrates. Comparison of plants grown in slag and plants from reference sites suggests, however, that slag does not lead to anomalies in nutrient concentrations of young mangroves. Although the results identified some differences between plants grown on river sand, naturally occurring substrate, and slag substrate, the absence of consistent differences suggests that mangroves planted in slag are under no greater risk of future failure than mangroves planted in naturally occurring substrate.

AN - 16345198; 7435 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan to protect the floodplain communities, development, and wildlife habitat along the Rio Grande from San Acacia to San Marcial, located in central New Mexico, is proposed. The project area extends from the San Acacia diversion dam, located north of the city of Socorro downstream to the railroad bridge at San Marcial. This 45-mile reach is located in the southernmost section of the 150-mile-long Middle Rio Grande Valley. The valley is characterized by river channel, floodplain farmland, terraced plans of grasses and shrubs, basalt-capped mesas, and nearby mountains. The width of the Rio Grande Valley through the project area varies from eight to 12 miles, with the nearly flat Rio Grande floodplain varying from one to three miles in width. The floodplain and bordering terraces are largely rural and used for irrigated farmland, livestock grazing, and wildlife conservation and enhancement. Smaller communities, such as San Acacia, Polvadera, San Luis, Lemitar, Escondida, San Pedro, and San Antonio, are scattered throughout the project area. The project area runs through the center of the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. A recurrence of the floods on the historical record dating back to 1895 would have devastating impacts on the area; a 100-year flood would result in $123 million in damages. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and alternative levee heights, are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of July 1992. The recommended plan would involve the creation of an earthen levee extending 43.5 miles along the west bank of the Rio Grande from the San Acacia diversion dam to the Tiffany area, approximately three miles north of the San Marcial railroad bridge. The levee would be created by reconstructing the existing spoil bank levee to form a structurally superior levee paralleling the Bureau of Reclamation's low-flow conveyance channel. In addition, the plan would include the acquisition of approximately 2,052 acres in the Tiffany area for sediment management and flood control; the management of the acquired land would also provide environmental benefits. The San Marcial railroad bridge would be relocated approximately 9,200 feet south of its existing location in order to improve flood and sediment control and provide the opportunity to increase water releases from upstream reservoirs to more closely mimic the natural hydrology characteristic of the basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood protection would be provided to 35,000 acres of floodplain during the 100-year event. The recommended plan would provide performance equal to capturing the 100-year flood event over 92 percent of the time. Though the National Economic Development (NED) plan, which would maximize net economic benefits, would provide the performance equal to capturing the 100-year flood event 97 percent of the time, the local sponsor of the project, the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, prefers the recommended plan over the NED plan due to its lower investment requirements and very similar performance. Sediment transport would decline significantly. The relocation of the San Marcial railroad bridge would crease 3,800 acres of flooded bosque. The movement of the levee toe landward would create 85 acres of additional floodplain. The acquisition of the Tiffany area would add 2,052 acres to the active floodplain and restore more natural riverine communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Peak discharges would increase moderately, and some downstream scouring would occur in the short run. The plan would induce flooding impacts on the existing San Marcial railroad bridge; hence, the requirements to relocate the bridge. The bridge relocation would displace 24 acres of suitable flycatcher habitat, though no flycatchers inhabit the area. The levee rehabilitation would displace 2.6 acres and temporarily disturb 1.4 acres of riparian vegetation.

AN - 16338107; 7421 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of the Stratford Army Engine Plant (SAEP), located on the Stratford Point Peninsula in the northeast corner of Fairfield County in southwestern Connecticut, is proposed. SAEP is a government-owned, contractor- operated installation used primarily for the manufacture of tank, aircraft, and watercraft engines. It was also the site where Chance Vought Aircraft developed the helicopter in the early 1940's. The installation, which consists of 75 acres of developed land along with riparian rights extending over intertidal flats of the Housatonic River, includes of 57 buildings and 25 acres of parking lots. Nearly all of the buildings were constructed prior to 1946, and three are quite large, occupying 71 percent of the interior space. Approximately one-third of the installation is developed; the remaining one-third consists of intertidal flats of the Housatonic River. The properties in the vicinity of SAEP are zoned for light industrial, business, commercial, and residential uses. Three reuse and disposal alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the Army would maintain the property indefinitely in caretaker status, are considered in this final EIS. Under the encumbered disposal alternative (the preferred alternative), the Army would impose certain restrictions on reuse plans relating to the protection of cultural resources, wetlands, or wildlife habitat. The unencumbered alternative would not impose any conditions on reuse. The local reuse plan would involve the comprehensive redevelopment of the site. All major structures would be demolished in order to create a series of independent parcels for corporate offices and R&D uses. For planning purposes, the site has been divided into three areas: an economic development zone (52 acres), a waterfront open space zone (16 acres), and a special use/museum zone (7 acres). Three levels of development intensity (low, medium, and medium/low) are also considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The encumbered disposal alternative would maintain consistency with adjacent land use, protect human health, protect biological resources and surface water quality, and aid government remedial actions. The local reuse plan would benefit the local economy, supporting up to 3,400 jobs. The demolition of the existing buildings would respond to the low level of demand for large industrial facilities in the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The encumbered disposal alternative could reduce market value and inhibit the full economic development of the site.

AN - 16348781; 7412 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane highway to provide access to the Middle River Employment Center (MREC), located in northern Maryland, is proposed. Historically, the MERC has been a scene of major manufacturing enterprises, primarily associated with the aircraft industry. Recently, however, the MERC has suffered a loss of manufacturing jobs and a decrease in overall quality of life for its residents. Recent economic development initiatives by the county have stressed the need to reinvest in the area to revitalize its economy and provide a channel for growth as opposed to encouraging growth in more rural portions of the county. Although Interstate 95 passes within close proximity to the MREC, there is not direct access to the interstate. Six alternatives, including a No- Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All five build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided highway connecting Maryland 43 (MD 43)/US40 with MD 150. All the build alternative would also involve the possibility of minor upgrades to MD 150 east of the dualization to compensate for additional traffic volumes. The alternatives would differ in the routes taken through the MREC and in the point at which each connects with MD 150. Multimodal options were also considered, including enhanced bus service, park-and-ride lots, enhancements to the Martin MARC Rail Station, employer-based travel demand management measures (TDM), transportation management areas to assist in implementation of the TDM options, high-occupancy vehicle lanes on the new roadway, reverse commute trains on the MARC lines, and a light rail system. The estimated cost of the build alternatives are $61.6 million to $73.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would provide improved access from the regional transportation network to planned major economic development opportunity sites and to foster increased utilization of established employment areas in the MREC of southeast Baltimore County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of 79 to 106 acres of rights-of-way would require the displacement of four to 10 residences, one business, 6.4 to 9.6 acres of wetlands, 51.5 to 59.5 acres of forested land, and up to 7.3 acres of farmland. From 390 to 585 linear feet of stream would be altered, and the project would encroach on 1.4 to 1.5 acres of floodplain. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at one to three receptor sites. One historic district and/or one archaeological site listed on the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected.

The highly erodible coastline in the vicinity of the harbor has become heavily developed, and the shoreline has become armored with a wide variety of shore protection structures. In the mid 1970s the Corps of Engineers began a beach nourishment program as erosion mitigation for the effects of the century-old, federal harbor jetties. An average annual volume of 110,000 cubic yards of nourishment, ranging in gradation from fine sand to stone, is placed at several stockpile sites south of the harbor. Nourishment techniques and material sources include dredged sand from the navigation channel and coarser material brought in by truck from inland gravel pits. The results of monitoring and several studies illustrate the unique aspects and challenges associated with beach nourishment operations on the Great Lakes. JF - IAGLR '99.

AN - 36418244; 7390 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water resources management plan, including flood control and irrigation components, for the Tule River basin, located in southern California, is proposed. The basin is located in the southeast portion of the San Joaquin Valley, the river flowing naturally from the Sierra Nevada Mountains westward to Tulare lakebed. The project would provide increased flood protection to the downstream area, including the city of Porterville, other urban areas, and agricultural land, and provide increased upstream storage for irrigation water supply. Success Dam and Lake, constructed in 1961, are operated for flood control and storage of irrigation water. Recreational facilities are also available at the lake. The dam is located on the Tule River approximately six miles east of Porterville. Two alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the project would involve raising the elevation of the dam spillway by 10 feet and widening the spillway from 200 to 365 feet. The project modifications would provide for an additional 28,000 acre-feet of flood storage capacity and irrigation water supply storage at Success Lake. Flood control storage would protect downstream areas against the 100-year flood. The operations of the dam and reservoir would follow lines similar to those currently in place. The estimated cost of the selected plan is $17.7 million, with an average annual cost of $1.53 million and a benefit-cost ratio of 1.38. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood control and irrigation benefits provided by the additional storage capacity would be worth $529,000 on an average annual basis. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recreational facilities currently associated with Rule and Rock Hill recreation areas would be inundated periodically, and the State Highway 190 bridge over the South Fork of the Tule River would be partially inundated on a period basis due to the raised gross pool; this would require that the bridge be refurbished after each inundation. Utilities, including power transmission lines, would have to be relocated. Approximately 71 acres of riparian forest, 167 acres of Atriplex grassland, 421 acres of annual grassland, and 10 oak trees at Success Lake would be adversely affected by new lake levels. Approximately 867 acres of intermittent seasonal habitat would be adversely affected in the Tulare lakebed. Project mitigation measures would include the creation and management of 82 acres of riparian forest, 150 acres of Atriplex grassland, 421 acres of annual grassland, and 247 acres of seasonal habitat, and the planting of 100 oak trees near Success Lake.

Preparation date: April 22, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH/NORTH CORRIDOR PROJECT; CLACKAMAS, MULTNOMAH, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, OREGON, AND CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36411329; 7391 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transit improvements in the Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, metropolitan region is proposed. The north/south transportation corridor includes the cities of Oregon City, Gladstone, and Milwaukie; the Clackamas Regional Center (CRC) area of unincorporated Clackamas County; a section of southeast Portland; Portland's central city; a section north-northeast of Portland; the city of Vancouver; and other parts of Clark County, Washington. Since 1980, the number of jobs and households along the corridor has been increasing at the rate of two to three percent annually. By the year 2015, the projected increases in travel miles will result in a 268 percent increase in the miles of congested roadways in the corridor and a 720 percent increase in the number of hours that drivers must sit in congested traffic. The alternatives considered in the draft EIS of February 1998 included a No-Build Alternative, four light-rail length alternatives, 16 light-rail alignment alternatives, and 22 light-rail design options. The length alternatives would include a 21-mile, full-length alignment from the CRC to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver; a 17-mile alignment from the Milwaukie Marketplace to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver; a 12-mile alignment from the CRC to the Rose Quarter Transit Center; and a 15-mile alignment from the CRC to North Lombard Street in north Portland. The estimated project capital costs were $748 million to $1.3 billion, depending on the alternative selected. This supplemental draft EIS considers a new Full- Interstate Avenue Alignment Alternative, which would provide 5.63 miles of light rail track and nine light rail stations. The alternative would operate on 1.46 miles of existing track between the Southwest Eleventh Avenue downtown and the Rose Quarter Transit Center, bringing the total length to 7.09 miles. The estimated cost of the newly considered alternative is $223.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide high-quality transit service along a major metropolitan transportation corridor, accommodate future population and economic growth patterns in the area, reduce traffic congestion and traffic infiltration through neighborhoods, and improve regional air quality. The newly considered alternative would result in no residential or commercial displacements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for alternatives considered in the February 1998 draft EIS would displace up to 77 businesses, 333 residences, and 1.95 acres of parkland. In addition, up to 22,300 cubic yards of floodplain fill would be required, and seven historic properties would be adversely affected. Slightly less than two acres of parkland would be displaced and three parks would be adversely affected by noise. The newly considered alignment could result in impacts to truck movements at four industrial access locations along the corridor, and would result in nine additional traffic-related noise impacts, one additional wheel-squeal impact, and two additional vibration impacts. The project would require filing of 0.93 acres of forested wetland.

AN - 16346278; 7393 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a comprehensive plan for the restoration, protection, and preservation of the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades, is proposed. 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, the prevention of saltwater intrusion, a water supply for Everglades National Park, the protection of fish and wildlife resources, and a water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. The primary system comprises approximately 1,000 miles each of levees and canals, 150 water control structures, and 16 major pump stations. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended comprehensive plan would include over 60 project features, including the creation of approximately 217,000 acres of reservoirs and wetland-based water treatment areas. Water storage facilities, encompassing 181,300 acres and providing 1.5 million acre-feet of water storage, would be situated north of Lake Okeechobee, in the Caloosahatchee and Saint Lucie basins, in the Everglades Agricultural Area, and in the Water Preserve Areas of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. The multipurpose water preserve areas would be situated in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties between urban areas and the eastern Everglades; these facilities would be designed to treat urban runoff, store water, reduce seepage, and improve existing wetland areas. Other project features would include the management of Lake Okeechobee as an ecological resource, the improvement of water deliveries to estuaries, provision of underground water storage facilities through wells and associated infrastructure, the creation of 35,600 acres of treatment wetlands, the improvement of water deliveries to the Everglades, the removal of barriers to sheetflow, the storage of water in existing quarries, the reuse of wastewater, the assessment of pilot projects to assess their effectiveness and associated uncertainties, the improvement of freshwater flows to Florida Bay, the implementation of a feasibility study regarding water resource problems and opportunities in southwest Florida, and the implementation of a comprehensive integrated water quality plan. The estimated cost of initial structures to be developed under the plan is $1.2 billion, and the estimated annual maintenance costs are $20 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would achieve the restoration of more natural flows of water, including sheetflow, improved water quality, and the development of more natural hydroperiods in the south Florida ecosystem. The improvements to native flora and fauna, including threatened and endangered species, would result from the restoration of natural hydrologic conditions. The 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 the current Central and Southern Florida Project purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project facilities would remove significant expanses of agricultural land from production, and a limited number of wetlands and upland areas would be permanently altered within the boundaries of the above-ground storage reservoirs, stormwater treatment areas, and water preserve areas. The project's short-term impacts would adversely affect water turbidity levels, air quality, wading birds, and recreational users. The project activities could adversely affect historical and archaeological resources. The uncertainties in the hydrologic models and technological advances upon which the project facilities are based would engender some risk in the development of such a large, integrated system. Water quality standards currently in force could delay implementation of some aspects of the water quality restoration program.

Preparation date: April 21, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 141 (PROJECT ID 1490-14-00), STH 22 - STH 64 (LEMERE ROAD - 6TH ROAD), MARINETTE AND OCONTO COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36422224; 7387 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 16.03-mile divided, four-lane rural expressway to carry US Highway 141 (US 141) traffic between the towns of Stiles and Beaver, located in northeastern Wisconsin, is proposed. US 141 is a major connector Green Bay and northern Wisconsin's recreation areas and Upper Michigan. It provides linkage to major east-west interstate routes, US 8 in Wisconsin and US 2 in Upper Michigan, and a major north-south interstate route, US 41. US 141 currently exhibits adequate physical characteristics, however, operational characteristics of US 141 are impeded by heavy traffic volumes and multiple access points. Through traffic and truck traffic conflict with slower local traffic and farm machinery. Even with existing traffic volumes, which range from 6,500 to 8,000 vehicles per day (vpd), poor traffic characteristics result in lower levels of service for US 141. As traffic volumes increase to those forecast for the design year of 2025, which are 8,000 to 14,000 vpd, the two- lane roadway would become critically inadequate. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative G), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility would feature at-grade intersections for the most part and provide restricted private access. The facility would provide two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot grass median in rural areas and along bypasses. One alternative would feature a four-lane urban section through the villages of Lena and Pound and a combination four- and five- lane section through Coleman. The recommended alternative (Alternative B) would follow the existing USH 141 with and east bypass of Lena and a west bypass of Coleman-Pound. The access would be limited, with intersections at several side road locations considered during design process and constructed if they were necessary. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $40.34 million, including $36.48 million in construction costs and $3.86 million in real estate acquisition costs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide additional capacity to serve existing and projected traffic volumes and to improve the operational efficiency and safety for local and through traffic using this northeast Wisconsin corridor. The project would also provide for future mobility needs and enhance regional economic development in accordance with area-wide plans. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would result in the conversion of 458.7 acres of land, including 424.1 acres of farmland within 62 farms and 81.7 acres of wetlands, and the displacement of 34 residences and three businesses. Eleven farms would suffer fragmentation of the property due to severance by the facility, and seven working farms would be adversely affected due to displacement of buildings. One historic site would be adversely affected, and construction activities would encounter five contaminated sites. Noise levels along the corridor would exceed federal standards at 37 residential receptors. Eight federally listed protected plant and animal species would lie within the project corridor.

AN - 36414535; 7386 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge or improvement of existing ferry services to carry State Trunk Highway (STH) 113 across the Wisconsin River separating Columbia and Sauk counties, located in Merrimac 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 STH 113, which is a collector highway in the south-central portion of the state. Due to increasing mechanical and structural problems, the ferry must be replaced between the years 2000 and 2002. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would replace the ferry with a similar or larger ferry, are considered in this draft EIS. The other alternatives would include building a bridge and/or continuing a ferry operation with another operator. The continuation of the ferry service with improvements would involve a vessel capable of transporting 12 to 24 vehicles. The service would be seasonal (e.g., extending from April through December as is currently the case) or year-round. The propulsion systems could incorporate the current cable-guided design or use a propeller-based system. Six different bridge locations and a combined railroad and highway bridge at the location of the former Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company bridge (now owned by the Union Pacific Railroad) were considered. The two alternatives retained for further evaluation include the Alternative B-1, which would include a bridge located east of the existing railroad bridge, and Alternative B-2, which would include a bridge located just west of the railroad bridge. The initial costs of the ferry and bridge alternatives would be $1.15 million to $3.3 million and $7.1 million to $7.2 million, respectively, while respective annual operation and maintenance costs would be $320,000 to $550,000 and $5,000 to $7,000. 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 ferry alternatives could require up to 4.5 acres of rights-of-way and one residential and four commercial displacements. The bridge alternatives would require the acquisition of 2.1 acres to 7.1 acres of rights-of-way and displace either four residences or two businesses. 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.

Preparation date: April 19, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATIONAL HARBOR PROJECT, PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36414520; 7383 AB - PURPOSE: The development of 7.25 million square feet of commercial and retail space, to be known as National Harbor, located on a 534-acre site at Smoot Bay on the Potomac River south of Washington, District of Columbia, in south-central Maryland, is proposed. The county intends development at the site in order to further and fulfill the county's economic development and land use planning objectives. The county has stated that development of a specialized economic activity center on the Potomac River shoreline would create employment opportunities within the county and provide increased retail opportunities for county residents. Furthermore, the county desires to attract residents of the greater Washington metropolitan area and visitors to the national capital region. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the parcel would be developed for a mix of retail, office, and hotel uses in four- to six-story buildings. The site would include a regional visitor's center. The site would provide a mix of retail, office, hotel, and entertainment uses. More specifically, the site would include 3,750 hotel rooms, 200,000 square feet of office space, 3.1 million square feet of retail space, and 80 boat slips. The complex would include a themed entertainment and retail complex. Due to the character of the planned entertainment facilities, entrance fees could be charged for access to a portion of the site. In addition, an architectural element that could rise to a height of 180 feet could be located on the site to serve as a visual icon for the complex. The site would attract an estimated 12 million visitors annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development of the National Harbor site would result in direct and indirect encouragement of commercial, retail, and residential growth in the area. The site activities would employ 12,350 workers at full build-out. The annual tax revenues generated by the complex would amount to $29.5 million, representing a 2.4 percent increase in the county's existing tax base. The state tax revenues would be increased by $71.8 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The site development would result in a major change in existing land use, converting a vacant site to a commercial complex, altering visual and other physical aspects of the site. The plan would be inconsistent with an existing policy planning memorandum of understanding. Seven known archaeological sites eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be disturbed, and historic architecture would be adversely affected by construction activities. The Addison Family cemetery would suffer contextual changes. The development activities, including the dredging, would displace 98 acres of woodland, 1.59 acres of intertidal habitat, 23.08 acres of deep-water areas, 0.42 acres and 3,132 linear feet of nontidal wetlands and intermittent streams and the associated wildlife habitat including bald eagle habitat. The boat operations would result in long-term turbidity. The traffic generated by the complex would increase the congestion on access roads and have long-term, moderate adverse impacts on regional air quality. The sewer and stormwater flows in the area would increase. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

Preparation date: April 16, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED WATER SUPPLY RESERVOIR (PERMIT APPLICATION NUMBER 187020), HUNTER LAKE, CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, SANGAMON COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36422458; 7375 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a water supply reservoir on Horse Creek to supplement the existing municipal water supply system for Sangamon County by the City of Springfield, located in central Illinois, is proposed. The project would include the construction of a 3,010-acre water supply reservoir, to be known as Hunter Lake. Three stand-alone alternatives and 18 combinations of alternatives were identified as feasible and capable of providing sufficient yield to meet the projected demand. The stand-alone alternatives 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 wellfield network. In addition, three combinations alternatives 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 alternative, 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 $74.1 million, and estimated annual maintenance costs are $455,000. 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: The project development would entail the displacement of 89 residences and two businesses, a campground, and a fertilizer sales and service operation. The total tax receipts foregone due to these displacements would amount to $150,000 per year. Agricultural land, forest, grasslands, and urban and 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. The existing county highways, bridges, township roads, and utility services would also be adversely affected. Approximately 2,350 acres of floodplain would be adversely affected and 318 National Wetlands Inventory wetland areas, encompassing 102 acres, would be inundated by the reservoir. The increased flood heights would adversely affect 53 structures, already adversely affected by the current 100-year flood event, downstream of the reservoir. The 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 - 36423601; 7373 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain of Lakes and Lake Gentry for the purpose of aquatic habitat enhancement, located in the center of the peninsula in Florida, is proposed. The project area is located near the city of Saint Cloud, approximately 50 miles southeast of Orlando. The Alligator Chain and Lake Gentry are connected by a series of canals allowing water flow and navigation between the lakes. The South Florida Water Management District operates water control structures S-58 to the north and S-60 to the south to maintain flood protection around the lakes. Prior to the construction of the Central and South Florida (C&SF) Project Works, ecological processes in and around the lakes depended on the climatic cycle of flood and drought. Extreme water fluctuations were a vital component in sustaining high quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat. the C&SF Project authorized purposes and regulation schedules have lead to a narrow restriction of the range in which water levels of the lakes can fluctuate. This long-term stabilization of water levels has resulted in conditions favorable to the dense growth of nuisance vegetation that would eventually preclude use of the lake shallows by fish, wading birds, wildlife, and the public. During the drawdown, bottom sediments would dry and compact, stimulating growth of desirable aquatic vegetation, thereby improving habitat quality for fish and wildlife. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), Alligator Lake would be lowered to 60 feet and lower Lake Gentry would be lowered to 56.5 feet. The modifications to lake levels would begin in October of the first calendar year. The Alligator Lake Chain's regulation schedule would remain at its summer pool level of 63 feet through October and into November. On November 14 of the project year, the extreme drawdown of the Alligator Chain would begin. The lake levels would be lowered to and held at approximately 60 feet until June of the second calendar year, when refilling would begin. Lake Gentry's regulation schedule would remain at its summer pool level of 61 feet through October and into November of the first calendar year. On November 10 of the project year, the extreme drawdown of Lake Gentry would begin. Lake Gentry would be lowered to and held at approximately 56.5 feet until June of the second calendar year, when refilling would begin. Associated structural measures and muck removal would be accomplished. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would restore the fish and wildlife habitat within the lake to more productive conditions, benefiting recreationists and wildlife and fish, including endangered snail kites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drawdown would interfere temporarily with recreational and navigational uses of the lakes and result in some short-term losses in the overall productivity of the ecosystem. Some loss of desirable vegetation would occur during the drawdown.

AN - 36414643; 7371 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a land use plan for 12,800 acres acquired by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to be part of the Columbia Dam and Reservoir, located in west-central Tennessee, is proposed. The dam was intended to be the downstream component of the Duck River Project, but the presence in the river of three endangered species of freshwater mussels prevented the completion of the dam and reservoir. The construction work on the dam was suspended in 1983 when it became apparent that conservation programs developed for the mussels were unlikely to succeed. At that time, the dam was about 45 percent complete, and 46 percent of the land required for the reservoir (12,800 of 27,500 acres) had been acquired by the TVA. In 1995, the TVA determined that the reservoir would never be completed and began to examine alternative methods of managing the acquired lands. The area surrounding the site is developing rapidly, and allowing a high level of development on the lands could further jeopardize the endangered species and other resources. Five alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Alternative A would include the continuation of the current uses for informal recreation and licensed agricultural purposes. Alternative B would include the division of the lands into three categories, with approximately 2,300 acres set aside as protective river corridor and eventually making virtually all land (10,500 acres) available for sale or transfer for hunting and other informal recreational uses. Alternative C would include the implementation of Alternative B, though less land (8,600 acres) would be available for sale. Alternative D would include the transfer of most of the lands for resource management uses to protect natural and cultural resources and enhance recreational use of the area. Alternative D/C (the preferred alternative) would include the transfer of all lands to the State of Tennessee or some specific state or federal agency after granting certain specified easements. The receiving agency would manage most of the transferred lands to enhance the recreational use of the area and to protect natural and cultural resources, though up to 2,000 acres could be sold for residential development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any one of the action alternatives would resolve the existing uncertainty about the status and disposition of the Columbia Project lands. Any of the land use alternatives would provide some level of protection for aquatic resources, wetlands, unique terrestrial and cave communities, and federal- and state-listed endangered and threatened species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The increased development would decrease the productivity of land for forest, wildlife, recreation, and natural area management. The residential and commercial development could adversely affect water quality. The existing tax equivalency payments would decline.

AN - 36418351; 7366 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements along Route 2, Route 2A, and Route 32, located in the communities of North Stonington, Preston, Montville, Norwich, and Waterford in the southeastern corner of Connecticut, is proposed. The study area extends from Westerly, Rhode Island, northwest to Norwich, Connecticut, and southward to New London, Connecticut. The study area also includes Route 164. All routes under consideration are affected by congestion and functional deficiencies. Issues of concern include the impacts affecting cultural and natural resources, socioeconomic resources, visual and scenic areas, hazardous materials, existing land uses, and local and regional transportation needs. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative B and Alternative C would include the development of a commuter rail service along the New England Central Rail line along with transit service (light rail or monorail service) between Norwich and Westerly. Alternative D would include bus service between Norwich and Westerly along a dedicated busway. Alternative E would include a bypass of Route 2A combined with widening of Route 2 and upgrading of Route 32 and Route 164. Alternative F would include bypasses of both Route 2A and Route 2. Depending on the alternative selected, the capital costs of the project would be $93.0 million to $701.0 million. The construction of the monorail system under Alternative B or Alternative C would increase capital costs to $3.5 billion or $3.7 billion due to complex engineering design and construction costs of the necessary elevated structure. The estimated rights-of-way cost is $600,000 to $1.7 million. The estimated annual operating cost is $25,000 to $26.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative selected, the project would provide transportation improvements to relieve traffic congestion and improve safety, while minimizing environmental an community impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would displace 90 to 169 acres of land, including 20 to 37 structures, 12.6 to 23.5 acres of wetlands, and 4.9 to 20.5 acres of floodplain. From 36.1 to 147.4 acres of wildlife habitat would be lost. The rail alternatives would increase contaminant discharges to two community and 20 non-community wells, while other alternatives would increase contaminants to one to three community wells and 19 to 40 noncommunity wells. The bridge piers would encroach upon habitat of the Atlantic sturgeon, a rare species. Five to 15 historic structures would be displaced and 14 to 38 historic properties would lie within the new rights-of-way. One to two known archaeological sites would be directly affected, and 86.4 to 154.7 archaeologically sensitive land would lie within the rights-of-way. Depending on the alternative selected, the project would adversely affect scenic views from Route 2, several secondary roads, or the Thames River. Traffic noise would exceed federal standards for 775 to 864 receptors. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36414436; 7363 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Joe Ney and Upper Pony Creek reservoirs in the Coos Bay Area, located along the southern Oregon coast, is proposed. The upper Pony Creek Reservoir is located about 5,000 feet upstream of Lower Pony Creek Dam, also known as Merritt Lake Dam. The Joe Ney Dike is located on Joe Ney Creek, about two miles east of Charleston, Oregon. The existing Joe Ney Reservoir is an impoundment created by a small earthen dike across Joe Ney Creek at approximately river mile 1.6. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, known as the Dunes Wellfield Augmentation Alternative, would involve the raising of the existing 45.5-foot earthfill Upper Pony Creek Dam by 21.5 feet to triple the water storage capacity of the reservoir from 2,150 acre-feet to 6,250 acre-feet, the rehabilitation of Joe Ney dike at the Joe Ney Reservoir, the provision of a pump at Joe Ney and an inter-reservoir pipeline from Joe Ney to Upper Pony Reservoir to increase water transfer from 1.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) to up to eight cfs; and the addition of four wells and the extension of a water pipeline within the Dunes Aquifer Wellfield. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion would provide a water supply capable of meeting immediate and peak season municipal and industrial demands within the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board service area and incrementally meet peak season demands to the year 2030. There would be a substantial increase in employment during the construction period. The municipal water availability that is necessary for economic development would allow the region to continue to develop to its planned build-out condition. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would include the permanent or temporary impacts to 33 and 1.8 acres of wetlands and 182 and 35 acres of upland habitat, respectively. Seismic, landslide, erosion and deposition, and shallow groundwater hazards would be associated with the wells and the water treatment plant construction. Joe Ney dike would not withstand a maximum credible earthquake unless it were retrofitted. Archaeological sites have been identified in the area, and there would be a high probability of encountering sites near the well and water treatment plant sites. The capacity of the treatment plant would be expected to be exceeded by the year 2005, and the capacity of the existing pipeline distribution system could be exceeded in some areas.

AN - 36414210; 7362 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Napa River within the city of Napa, located 35 miles north-northeast of San Francisco in northern California, is proposed. Since its incorporation as a city in 1872, the city of Napa has experienced frequent flooding in its downtown areas. A General Design Memorandum and a final EIS were prepared in 1975, but the flood control project was never implemented. A draft supplement to the final EIS was issued in March 1995 and presented a reduced version of the project proposed in 1975; however, that draft supplement was never finalized. A second draft supplement was issued in December 1997. The 1997 draft supplement and this final supplement consider the range of alternatives presented in the first draft supplement and also consider a new preferred alternative. The preferred alternative would be implemented along approximately 6.9 miles of the Napa River extending from Highway 29 to Trancas Street. It would involve dike removal to allow the Napa River to flow in a wider area, channel modifications to create flood terraces and wetland and upland habitat, the development of a dry bypass channel to bridge the oxbow while diverting flood flows out of the oxbow, the construction of three pump stations to remove water from behind floodwalls and levees, bridge demolition and relocation in downtown Napa, and the construction of levees, dikes, and floodwalls to contain a 100-year flood event. In addition, channel modifications would be implemented along a two-thirds of a mile stretch of Napa Creek. Trails and other recreational facilities along both sides of the Napa River would be constructed. The project would also incorporate a wetland enhancement plan, to be funded separately, which would restore physical processes and enhance ecological functions in the South Wetlands Opportunity Area, extending from Newport North Marine to the Highway 29 bridge on the west side of the river. The plan would restore 282 acres of intertidal marsh, 219 acres of high marsh, 350 acres of upland in historical alluvial floodplains, and 136 acres of seasonal wetlands. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the plan would provide a 100-year level of flood protection for the area and reduce the economic burdens of flooding. In addition, this alternative would create or restore extensive wetland areas and other riverine ecosystems, restoring habitat that had been destroyed by past water resource developments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would displace 5.44 acres of riparian forest, 1.8 acres of riparian scrub-shrub, 11.24 acres of low-value woodlands, 7.32 acres of brackish emergent marsh, 44.18 acres of seasonal wetlands, 0.3 acre of tidal mudflats, and 0.19 acre of shaded riverine aquatic cover; all these impacts would, however, be more than offset by creation or restoration of replacement habitat. Dredging would adversely affect fish by removing them from the river system, destroying habitat, and generating high levels of suspended solids and contaminants. The floodwalls would block views of the Napa Valley from several vantage points, and other visual impacts would result from structurally required facility relocations. Several buildings and bridges of historical significant and a number of archaeological sites would be removed or otherwise adversely affected.

AN - 36419128; 7353 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan along the Upper Des Plaines River, located in northern Illinois, is proposed. The study areas consists of the Des Plains River watershed from Riverside, Illinois northward to the Wisconsin border. Salt Creek and its tributaries at Riverside are not part of the study area. Flood damages along the Des Plaines amount to approximately $21.0 million on an annualized basis. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Under the recommended plan, the project would involve the enlarging of an existing dam on North Mill Creek from a 550-foot-long structure with a spillway crest at 743 feet above mean sea level to a 900-foot-long structure with a spillway crest at 746 feet above mean sea level, the creation of a 66-acre lateral storage area in Van Patten Woods by constructing berms parallel to the river on both banks with crest elevations equivalent to the 100-year flood elevation, the expansion of an existing flood storage reservoir occupying Buffalo Creek by the removal of man- made hills and the excavation of 20 acres in the northern and western portion of the reservoir to increase its storage capacity by 476 acre-feet, the deepening of Big Bend Lake by nine feet and expanded from 27 acres to 62 acres to increase its storage capacity by 590 acre-feet, and the construction of two levees, one of which would include a floodwall. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $38.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damage in the affected area would decline by 19 percent, enhancing area economy and protecting human health and safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The structural measures would result in the loss of 24 acres of wetlands, including four acres of forested wetlands and 20 acres of emergent and scrub- shrub wetlands; however, wetland mitigation (65 acres, including 50 acres of emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and 15 acres of forested wetlands) would result in a net gain of approximately 41 acres of wetlands, improving water quality and enhancing recreational opportunities and aesthetic values in the area. Phase I archaeological investigations would be required at two sites prior to the commencement of construction activities.

AN - 36418105; 7352 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project to reduce damages resulting from flooding of Saint Johns Bayou and the New Madrid Floodway, located in southeastern Missouri, is proposed. The study area extends from northeast of East Prairie southward to New Madrid. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1985. The first phase of the project would involve channel enlargements and the installation of a 1,000-cubic-foot-per-second (cfs) pumping station for the Saint Johns Bayou. The New Madrid floodway project would involve the closure of the 1,500-foot gap in the Mississippi River Levee with a 1,500- cfs pumping station and a gravity outlet in the closure. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), which is designed to minimize project impacts, the project would involve reducing the width of channel work in Saint Johns Bayou from 200 feet (two-sided excavation) to 120 feet (one-sided excavation), and changing the work to the right descending bank along a portion of Saint James Ditch to avoid the state-listed endangered goldentop minnow. In addition, traverse dikes would be constructed in the lower four miles of Saint Johns Bayou, and conservation easements would be placed along all improved channels and allowed to revegetate to bottomland hardwoods. The gate operations would be adjusted to allow fish passage between the river and the two basins. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $65.1 million. The estimated benefit/cost ratios of the LRR portion of the project and the MRL feature are 1.2 and 2.6, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing flood control within the Saint Johns Bayou basin and the New Madrid Floodway, the project would eliminate the physical and economic barriers created by frequent flooding in East Prairie and the surrounding area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The structural measures would result in the loss of natural spring overbank flooding and fish access by severing the New Madrid Floodway from the Mississippi River. The duration and frequency of Mississippi River backwater and overbank flooding passing through the 1,500-foot levee gap on approximately 36,000 acres of wetlands, 76 percent of which would be agricultural lands, would be reduced. The mitigation of this impact would be achieved through the purchase of 9,557 acres of frequently flooded agricultural land in fee title from willing sellers and planting it with bottomland hardwoods. The mitigation land would most likely be purchased outside of the Saint Johns Bayou Basin and New Madrid Floodway to ensure unimpeded access for the fishery resource. Additionally, flood easements would be purchased on 765 acres of herbaceous land. The structural measures would displace floodplain land, including wetland and associated habitat, and the project would have significant adverse impacts on a diverse mussel community unique to southeastern Missouri. The loss of fish forage and/or habitat would adversely affect three endangered species, namely, the interior least tern, the pallid sturgeon, and the bald eagle.

Preparation date: March 31, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN JOAQUIN RIVER BASIN, ARROYO PASAJERO, FRESNO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36412664; 7351 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project within the Arroyo Pasajero watershed, located in the city of Huron and Fresno County in south-central California, is proposed. The study area lies approximately 50 miles southwest of the city of Fresno. Its upper watershed, located in the Diablo Range, comprises four major tributaries, namely, Los Gatos, Jacalitos, and Zapato Chino creeks. Below the confluence of Los Gatos and Warthan creeks, near Coalinga, the stream is known as Arroyo Pasajero. Where the arroyo leaves the Diablo Range and Pleasant Valley and enters the San Joaquin Valley, it forms a broad alluvial fan. The defined channel of the arroyo ends approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Huron. The project would focus on flood control to prevent damage involving the San Luis Canal (SLC), the cities of Coalinga and Huron, Lemoore Naval Air Station, and other susceptible facilities and resources. The project would involve the construction of flood detention facilities to improve the level of flood protection consistent with pertinent local planning documents and state and federal planning guidelines. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft EIS. The Pasajero Gap Detention Dam Alternative would involve the construction of a dam on Arroyo Pasajero downstream of Coalinga. The gap dam, which would be approximately 8,400 feet long and have a maximum elevation of 590 feet above mean sea level, would provide 59,000 acre-feet of storage to detain floodwaters to reduce the threat of flooding downstream in the vicinity of the SLC. The Westside Detention Basement Enlargement with Overchute Alternative would involve the strengthening the embankments of the detention basin and 13 miles of embankments along the SLC and enhancing the existing detention basin near the canal. The total storage capacity of the basin would be 55,000 acre-feet. In addition, a protective levee would be constructed around the Huron. Three spillways would be provided to pass peak flows into the SCL, and an overchute structure would pass probable maximum floodflows into the SLC. The estimated first costs of the Pasajero Gap Detention Dam Alternative is $225.31 million, while the estimated cost of the West Side Detention Basin Alternative is $237.8 million. The estimated respective benefit- cost ratios are 1.17 and 1.75. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would reduce flood damage attributable to inundation of urban and agricultural areas, reduce sediment damage, minimize the closure of surface transport infrastructure, enhance groundwater recharge potential, address the potential health hazards associated with waterborne and airborne asbestos, and reduce agricultural, municipal, and industrial damage attributable to the interruption of water supplies from the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Either alternative would require the relocation of various public and private facilities, and the Westside Detention Basin Alternative would require the permanent closure of Lassen Avenue. Depending on the alternative chosen, the project activities would require the conversion of 151 to 800 acres of farmland, 10 to 64 acres of woody riparian habitat, and up to 30 acres of valley saltbrush habitat as well as the displacement of some open space, possible increases in flooding of habitat and sites used for the Upland Gam Bird Hunting Program and by three to 12 special-status plant species, and the potential loss of nesting swallow habitat. The construction activities would result emissions exceeding federal air quality standards, potential impacts to San Joaquin kit foxes, burrowing owls, raptors, and/or blunt-nosed leopard lizards. The Westside Detention Basin Alternative would expose noise-sensitive land uses to construction noise in excess of federal standards. The construction workers and local residents could be exposed to airborne asbestos during construction. The Headquarters of Allen Ranch, an historically significant site, would be disturbed during the construction.

AN - 16347975; 7348 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and redevelopment of 440 acres of land and 236 acres of submerged land made available by the closure of the U.S. Army's Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (MOTBY), located in the city of Bayonne in northeastern New Jersey, is proposed. The MOTBY is located on the Upper New York Bay approximately three miles southeast of Newark and seven miles from midtown Manhattan. The installation lies on a 0.33-mile-wide man-made peninsula that extends approximately two miles into the bay and also holds rights over 236 acres of adjacent submerged lands. The Navy operated the site from 1941 to 1967, when title to the land was transferred to the Army. The site has served as a major terminal for movement of military cargo since World War II. The Army plans to cease operations at MOTBY by September 30, 1999. Closure of the property is required by law by no later than July 13, 2001. The methods available to the Army for disposal include transfer to another federal agency, public benefit discount conveyance, economic development conveyance, negotiated sale, and competitive sale. Issues addressed in assessing the impacts of the alternatives include those associated with land use and maritime and airspace considerations, climate, air quality, noise, geology, water resources, infrastructure, hazardous and toxic substances, permits and regulatory authorities, biological resources, cultural resources, economic development, social environment, quality of life, and installation agreements. In addition to a No Action Alternative, two disposal alternatives (encumbered and unencumbered disposal) and three reuse alternatives (medium-intensity, medium-low-intensity, and low-intensity reuse) are considered in this draft EIS. The Army's preferred alternative is encumbered disposal. The Army expressed no preference with respect to reuse scenarios since that decision would be made by others. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The disposal of the site would provide for its redevelopment to the social and economic benefit of area residents and workers. Encumbered disposal would insure The protection of important environmental resources at the site following disposal. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Encumbered disposal could restrict the reuse of the site, creating both short- and long-term impacts. The development of the disposed tract under the medium-intensity scenario could result in an increase in vehicular traffic in the area and place stress on parking resources and could involve long-term problems due to the presence of hazardous and toxic substances on the site.

AN - 36412677; 7328 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Airport Parkway/Mississippi 25 (MS 25) Connectors, located in southwestern Mississippi, is proposed. Extensive development along MS 25 and completion of the airport have greatly increased traffic levels in the corridor. Eight alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would involve the construction of the connectors on new alignments. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative D), the Airport Parkway, a limited access freeway facility, would begin at the existing intersection of High Street and Interstate 55 (I-55) and extend eastward, crossing the Pearl River, for approximately 2.6 miles to its eastern terminus with Old Brandon and Airport Road (MS 475) south of the Jackson International Airport. The MS 25 Connector would begin at a point approximately 2.6 miles east of the western terminus of the Airport Parkway Connector, from which point it would proceed northeasterly for approximately four miles terminating at MS 25 (Lakland Drive) within the community of Luckney. The total length of both connectors is 9.3 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the operational efficiency and accessibility of the transportation system in the central and eastern portions of the Jackson metropolitan area, particularly with respect to access to the Jackson Municipal Airport. The additional crossing of the Pearl River, provided by the project, would provide needed relief to MS 25, Flowood Drive (MS 468), US 80, and I-20. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would result in the potential relocation of five single-family dwellings, two mobile homes, two commercial structures, and one non-profit organization (Junior Achievement of Mississippi). The noise levels at 16 occupied facilities would approach or exceed federal standards. The project would encroach on the 100-year floodplain of the Pearl River, though the encroachment would be not longitudinal in nature and floodplain areas would continue to function at current levels. Approximately 74.7 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: March 12, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DALLAS FLOODWAY EXTENSION, TRINITY RIVER BASIN, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 36418068; 7327 AB - PURPOSE: The reevaluation of a previously authorized flood control project on the Trinity River in the southeastern sector of the city of Dallas, located in northeastern Texas, is considered. The flood control alternatives and recommendations previously developed by the Army Corps of Engineers were reevaluated based on the current level of economic development as well as ecological values. Prior to the reevaluation, the project was to have involved the construction of two 1,200-foot-bottom-width swales extending downstream from the end of the existing Dallas Floodway to approximately 2,000 feet below Loop 12; the swales were to be separated at Interstate 45 (I-45). The public opposition to the plan arose based upon its impacts to forested areas along the Trinity River. Based on the investigations performed and pending the outcome of technical, policy, and public review of this document, the currently recommended plan for flood control would consist of the construction of off-channel flood controls swale incorporating environmental restoration in the form of a chain of wetlands and standard project flood (SPF) levees on both sides of the river. The upper and lower swales would be separated at I-45. The upper swale, with an average bottom width of 400 feet, would extend from Cedar Creek to the oxbow lake at I-45, a distance of 1.5 miles. The lower swale, with an average bottom width of 600 feet, would extend from I-45 to Loop 12, a distance of 2.2 miles. The lower swale would be aligned to pass through Linfield Landfill and Sleepy Hollow Golf Course to minimize impacts to forested areas and nearby residential neighborhoods. Excavated wetlands would be added as environmental restoration features within the footprint of the swales. An earthen levee, extending 2.9 miles from the existing Dallas Floodway East Levee to the Rochester Park Levee, would be provided to protect Lamar and a levee and floodwall system, extending 1.1 miles from near Cedar Creek to the Central Wastewater Treatment plant would be provided to protect Cadalliac Heights. The recreational facilities in the project design would consist of hiking and biking trails, equestrian trails, canoe launches, and pavilions. The economic analysis of the project takes into account previously constructed non-federal levees protecting the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant and Rochester Park. The previously constructed non- federal levees were put up at a cost of $27.0 million, though only $23.1 million of this cost was deemed compatible with the recommended plan. The estimated overall cost of the recommended plan is $127.3 million. The estimated overall benefit-cost ratio is 2.06. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would provide flood control and recreational opportunities within southeastern Dallas. As compared to the previously recommended plan, the currently recommended plan would cause far less damage to pristine bottomland hardwood forest. The currently recommended plan would result in no net loss of wetland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Residential structures in the Roosevelt Heights and Floral Farms subdivisions would be displaced.

AN - 36414492; 7324 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Mount Hood US 26 corridor from Rhododendron to Oregon 35 (OR 35), located in northwestern Oregon, is proposed. The study corridor is part of the primary route connecting the Portland metropolitan area with the recreational facilities at Mount Hood, Kah-Nee-Ta, and central Oregon. It also serves commercial traffic between Portland and central Oregon. The 1991 Oregon Highway Plan classified US 26 as a statewide highway capable of providing safe and efficient high-speed travel. Mount Hood corridor users experience slow to moderate travel times, with interruptions during summer and winter weekends. The highway is also characterized by a high accident rate and numerous structural deficiencies. This Teir 1 EIS addresses travel demand management options, capacity improvements, operational and safety improvements, and maintenance and enforcement options. The final EIS also identifies and prioritizes a list of projects that would be necessary to implement the preferred alternative over the next 20 years. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, which combines two of the three build alternatives considered, would involve the construction of two westbound and one eastbound lane from mile post 44.5 just east of Rhododendron to milepost 46.2, a distance of approximately two miles, and a four-lane section from the latter point to the junction with OR 35. A minimum shoulder width of six to eight feet would be provided; this would allow for safe bicycle travel. The availability of funds to implement the projects involved in the overall scheme is uncertain. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the level of service (LOS) on the highway would be maintained at LOS D until the year 2015 even though the average daily traffic is expected to double by that date. The safety in the corridor would be improved due to the widening and improvement of the highway to meet current standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would adversely affect Pioneer Bridle Trail, requiring the relocation of a 0.34-mile section of this historically significant resource; the relocation would, however, reconnect the trail at Laurel Hill via a highway underpass. Two traces of Barlow Road lying within a historic district would also be adversely affected. The roadway culvert extensions and replacements could adversely affect habitat for threatened West Coast steelhead trout in the Lower Columbia River. The sedimentation to the Zigzag River, Camp Creek, Still Creek, and the West Fork of the Salmon River would also result from the project, and the project would displace 33.5 acres of habitat, including 0.69 acres of wetland habitat. The noise levels in the corridor would increase by approximately three to seven decibels. The utility relocations could be required east of Rhododendron (water and power) and through Government Camp (sewer, water, power, and telephone).

Preparation date: March 9, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HAMILTON WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN EIR/EIS, HAMILTON ARMY AIRFIELD, MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16349973; 7318 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of tidal salt marsh habitat at Hamilton Army Airfield (HAAF) and on the adjacent California State Lands Commission (SLC) parcel, located in northern California, is proposed. The project site is located within the San Francisco Bay Estuary in the city of Navato. The 900-acre site comprises three areas: the HAAF, a 644-acre parcel currently being closed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; a 20-acre Navy ballfield site; and the SLC parcel (also known as Antenna Field), a 250-acre parcel owned by the State of California and administered by the SLC. A large portion of these areas, which lie between Novato Creek to the north and Long Point to the south, were historically tidal wetlands. The project would return the site to seasonal and tidal wetland conditions and re-establish important ecological functions in the San Francisco Bay Estuary. Five action alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. All alternatives would involve the relocation and modification of Novato Sanitary District facilities, the construction of levees and internal peninsulas, the lowering and breaching the bayward levee, and the provision of public access facilities. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), the project would recreate tidal coastal salt marsh, seasonal wetlands, tidal pannes, and grasslands. The predominant habitat types would be tidal coastal salt marsh and seasonal wetland. The complete restoration would take place over 30 years, though site activities would only require six years. The schedule would call for two years of site preparation, one year to place 2.1 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged material for the restoration of seasonal wetlands, and three years to place 8.5 mcy of dredged material for the restoration of tidal wetlands. The stages in the plan would include sediment accretion to mean high water level during years seven through 21, the development of the mean high water marsh plain during years 12 through 21, and the development of mean higher high water marsh plain during the remainder of the schedule. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The habitat restoration would provide benefits for special-status species that use San Pablo Bay by restoring the affected area to historic conditions. The use of dredged material to restore the wetland would substantially decrease the time necessary for the restored wetlands to become fully functional. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drainage capacity associated with the New Hamilton Partnership development would be reduced. The project would result in the settlement of soils from fill loads for levees, sedimentation, and dredged material. Approximately 1.2 acres of brackish marsh would be lost, and an additional 2.9 acres of this habitat would be disturbed temporarily. The construction activities would disturb habitat for California clapper rails, California black rails, northern harrier, burrowing owl, saltmarsh common yellowthroat, and San Pablo song sparrow. The construction activities could also kill these individuals belonging to these species as well as Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead trout, longfin smelt, and salt marsh harvest mice. Noise and particulate matter would be emitted during the construction phases of the project, and unknown cultural resources could be disturbed. All impacts would be mitigated to a less-than-significant level. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-526).

The Hodges Village Dam in Oxford, Mass, is part of an extensive flood control network built and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Thames River basin of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The dam consists of a relatively homogeneous and pervious sand and gravel embankment on stratified glacial outwash sands, gravels, and cobbles. Because it was designed primarily as a run-of-the-river, flood control facility with no anticipated long-term pool storage, no significant seepage control measures were ever constructed for the dam. This paper describes a series of seepage events that have occurred at the dam starting in 1968 and continuing to 1993. Remediation efforts after each of the events are described as are their effects on dam performance. The paper concludes that the past seepage problems at the dam were caused by assumptions made about foundation soil conditions prior to dam construction, problematic drains and relief wells that resulted in significant head buildups in their respective zones of influence, and insufficient subsurface information prior to design and construction. Investigation and analyses of the dam conducted after the 1993 event are presented, and plans are described for a seepage control remediation project currently under construction.

The model comprises two sub-models: a one-dimensional model used to describe the processes within a canal and a two-dimensional depth averaged model used to simulate the processes within the soil. The two models are linked to describe the interaction between canal water and groundwater. Data collected at Tan Thanh farm in the Plain of Reeds in the Mekong delta of Viet Nam are used to calibrate and verify the model. The results produced by the proposed model are presented. The computed results for the processes within a canal show reasonable agreement with the field data, while those for the processes within groundwater show that further work needs to be carried out in order to gain insight into the dominant equilibrium processes in groundwater.

EM61 geophysical surveys were conducted over portions of the now developed cantonment area as part of a statistically based sampling plan to locate and dig metallic anomalies potentially representing UXO. Select QA/QC aspects of the EM61 based ordnance location and sampling program are presented. Performance testing documents a significant decrease in non-UXO anomalies vs mag-and-flag techniques at this site. EM61 calibration pit results for simulated UXO items and analysis of 10% replicate grid data show acceptable data accuracy, precision, and comparability. Tracking of calibration pit test results show negligible variation of peak amplitudes between instruments, or with variations in temperature and precipitation.

AN - 36410565; 9199 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane, limited-access rural highway from Kihei, an urban area on the southern Coast of Maui, to Upcountry, a region on the western flank of Haleakala volcano in the County of Maui, Hawaii is proposed. The existing circuitous route between Kihei-Makena, a major employment center along Maui's southern coast, and Upcountry, a popular residential area on Haleakala's western flank, extends at least 16 miles. In contrast, the straight-line distance between Kihei-Makena and most Upcountry communities is between 9 and 12 miles. The route between the Upcountry communities and West Maui is also circuitous. A No Build Alternative and eight alternative alignments, each connecting one of two Kihei and one of four Upcountry terminus options, are considered in this final EIS. Two alternatives would require the modification of the Pukalani Bypass/Haleakala Highway/Kula Highway Five Trees intersection. Kihei-Upcountry Maui Highway would replace the Haleakala Highway leg (Pukalani side), and Haleakala Highway would be realigned to link and for a T-intersection with Pukalani Bypass approximately 1,200 feet north of the Five Tree intersection. The existing segment of Haleakala Highway between the new connection to Pukalani Bypass and the Five Trees intersection would remain open to traffic. The preferred alternative (U1,K1) would extend from the intersection of Haliimaile Road and Haleakala Highway to the intersection of Kaonoulu Street and Piilani Highway. Regardless of the alignment, the highway would be a limited-access arterial roadway with one 12-foot land in each direction. The minimum width of the roadway right-of-way would be 160 feet in rural areas and 120 feet in urban areas. Additional right-of-way would be reserved to allow for future widening to a four-lane divided highway if appropriate in the future. However, this EIS addresses only the construction of a two-lane cross-section as projections indicate that two lanes would provide sufficient capacity to accommodate travel demand in the design year (2020). Posted speed limits would vary from 45 miles per hour (mph) in urban areas to 55 mph in rural areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would ease transportation of persons and goods between Kihei and Upcountry, thereby addressing growth in regional transportation demand. Federal interests would be served since the facility would facilitate transportation between defense-related research activities at Science City atop Haleakala Crater and the Maui Research and Technology Park in Kihei. Substantial transportation energy savings would be realized. In the event of a tsunami or tropical storm eruption, the island's coastal evacuation capacity would be increased substantially. Both high technology and tourist industries on Maui would be supported. The project would infuse several millions of dollars in federal funding into the community during construction. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development, totaling 97.6 hectares, would displace sugarcane, pineapple, and ranch land as well as open space and vegetation that provides wildlife habitat. Construction activities would damage agricultural drainage systems. Removal of property from private ownership would result in a slight reduction in local tax revenues. Certain alternatives would encourage the use of local roads, causing congestion on these facilities and, in one case, interfering with the movements of agricultural machinery. Predicted traffic noise levels at 12 of the 13 selected noise receptor sites would increase from one to 11 decibels. Three archaeological sites would be encountered during construction.

Part of the remediation site was to be used as a parking area. The stabilized soil was to be covered with natural base/subbase course materials and capped with an asphalt concrete cover. During the course of the remediation, a base-course layer could not be placed prior to the onset of winter. A field study was conducted to quantify any changes in the mechanical properties of the open stabilized subgrade subjected to freeze-thaw cycling during the winter of 1996-97. Field evaluation was conducted with pavement industry tools: the Clegg impact hammer and the dynamic cone penetrometer. Evaluation results show the viability of the Clegg hammer as an instrument for quality assurance and also show that there can be up to 50% loss in compressive strength of the subgrade within the uppermost layer of the material caused by freeze-thaw cycling.

AN - 16348686; 7311 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Route 19 Missouri River bridge at Hermann, located in east-central Missouri, is proposed. The 3.4-mile project corridor extends from the Route 19/Route 94 intersection one mile north of the bridge to a point on Route 19 approximately two miles south of the bridge. The corridor also extends one mile east and west of Route 19 at the existing bridge. The improvements along Route 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. The improvements would also include the reconstruction of a short segment of causeway between the north end of the bridge and the existing Route 19 causeway and adding turning lanes at the Route 19/East Route 100 intersection. Although the construction of a toll booth by Hermann Transportation Corporation would not be part of the project, impacts related to the toll booth are addressed. Two build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Depending on the alternative selected, the project would provide a new bridge approximately 50 feet east or west of the existing structure. Under 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 Route 19 approximately 20 feet west of the existing bridge touch down point. Under Alternative 5-E1, which would lie east of the existing structure, would include the construction of a S-curve to connect with the new bridge. This alternative would joint Route 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 Route 19. The estimated costs of Alternatives 5-W1 and 5-E1 are $25.2 million and $25.4 million, respectively. One or two protected bike lanes would add $3.6 million or $4.8 million, respectively, to either alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bridge would safely serve existing and projected traffic volumes, improve operational efficiency for local and through traffic on Route 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 acre and 0.37 acre of land, respectively. Either alternative would adversely affect 0.7 acre of wetland. The Pilot House steamboat replica would be relocated on the northwest corner of the Route 19/East Route 100 intersection under Alternative 5-W1, and the service station on the northeast corner of the Route 19/East Route 100 intersection would be relocated under Alternative 5-E1. The project would have an adverse effect on the existing bridge structure, which is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

This total is exclusive of the material removed from Virginia channels and Baltimore Harbor. Additional sediments are also dredged from the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and the northern approach channel. Several new-work dredging projects are currently proposed to increase the navigational safety and efficiency of the Chesapeake Bay approach channels over the next several years; these new projects would require removal of an additional 18 mcy of material. Site 104, previously known as Kent Island Deep, was deemed to be the most cost- effective site of the 475 sites initially screened; 32 sites underwent in-depth consideration. Site 104, a previously used 1,800-acre site (4.2 miles by 0.65 miles), is located in the Chesapeake Bay 0.5 mile north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and one mile west of Kent Island. The depths range from 42 feet to 76 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW). The placement would be restricted to areas deeper than the 45-foot contour interval to achieve a final site elevation of 45 feet below MLLW. Open-water placement would be used for approximately 18 mcy of dredged material from the mainstem Chesapeake Bay channels leading to the port. The placement of dredge spoil would be achieved by bottom release scow for mechanically dredged materials and controlled bottom pipeline placement for mechanically dredged, hydraulically rehandled dredged materials. The placement activities would be limited to the fall, winter, and early spring to minimize potential impacts related to phytoplankton blooms, finfish migration periods, finfish and shellfish spawning periods, and peak finfish, blue crab, and zooplankton densities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the site for disposal of dredge spoil would ensure the efficient and safe use of the approach port's approach channels. The project would also enhance water quality, sediment quality, and commercial and recreational fisheries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of the site would cause short-term turbidity and increase total suspended solids and nutrient concentrations in the vicinity of disposal operations. Benthic communities would be destroyed but would recolonize rapidly. Overwintering crabs would be buried during placement of spoils, but crab densities at the site are low. Under the worst-case scenario, 16.9 percent of the material placed by bottom-release scow and 6.2 percent of the material placed by controlled hydraulic bottom pipeline could be eroded and leave the site boundary.

AN - 36421732; 7309 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to control flooding of the Lackawanna River in the Scranton area, located in northeastern Pennsylvania, is proposed. Flooding has been a problem in numerous locations within the 454-square-mile Lackawanna River basin, and major floods occurred in 1942, 1955, 1985, and 1996. Three of the major flood damage centers in Scranton are the Plot, Green Ridge, and Park Place (Albright Avenue) communities. Several alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for the Plot and Green Ridge communities in this draft EIS. Only one alternative was found to be economically viable for the Albright Avenue community; this alternative, a 100-year levee design, has already been authorized and is not covered in detail in the EIS. This project would be combined with 100-year levee and floodwall plans for the Plot and Green Ridge communities. The Plot project would involve approximately 5,900 linear feet of levee and floodwall. Closure structures would be constructed at the Sanderson Avenue Bridge, Parker Street Bridge, and across the D&H Railroad crossing at Alpha Street at the upstream end of the project. Approximately 15 interior drainage structures would be placed at various locations throughout Plot. The Green Ridge project would involve 7,830 linear feet of levee and combined levee and floodwall. Closure structures would be constructed at the Albright Avenue, Green Ridge Street, and East Market Street bridges. A closure structure would also be placed at Glen Street. Approximately 18 interior drainage structures would be included in the project. The average annual costs for the Plot, Green Ridge, and Albright Avenue projects are $1.32 million, $1.64 million, and $1.68 million, respectively. The respective estimated benefit-cost ratios for the projects are 1.44, 0.6, and 3.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of flood protection would generally maintain and enhance safety and long-term economic productivity within the protected areas. Once the levees were in place, the floodplain would be redelineated, resulting in a potential decrease in flood insurance costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The combined levee and floodwall construction would permanently displace approximately 37.8 acres as well as temporarily displace three acres within construction easements. The construction activities would require the relocation, modification, or termination of various water, combined sewer, gas, electric, and telephone lines. Approximately 15.6 acres of land would be acquired outright and 1.1 acres via temporary easement for the Plot component of the project, while the Green Ridge component would require the acquisition of 22.2 acres outright and 1.9 acres via temporary easement. Private residences and businesses would be displaced as a result of the land acquisition requirements. Residual flooding would continue to occur in some areas. The construction of the Green Ridge levee would adversely affect the S.E. Cottone Building on East Market Street, a structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

To mitigate the problem, a variety of stabilization techniques were evaluated for their suitability for rapid employment to enhance military vehicle operations. A combination of mechanical stabilization methods including several lightweight fills, geosynthetics, and tire and wood mats, were constructed and tested during the annual training exercises of the 229th Engineers of the Wisconsin National Guard during the difficult conditions of spring thaw. The techniques were evaluated for their expediency, ease of construction, trafficability, and durability. In general, chunkwood was an excellent replacement for gravel fill in forested area; tree slash (or other vegetation) was effective but labor intensive; wood mats and pallets were effective and reasonably durable; tire mats were extremely rugged and effective. A loader or crane was needed to place the large wood mats, tire mats, and fascines. Geocomposite materials (Geonet) were quickly installed and could withstand limited traffic (50 passes) without additional cover material. Geosynthetics reduced the amount of cover material and enhanced placement, effectiveness and removal when used under other materials to spread the load and keep them from sinking into the mud. All materials were damaged during the severe motion of a tank cornering except the large, smooth wood mats, but these were slippery on slopes. Results are summarized in a decision matrix for choosing the best technique depending on site conditions, material and equipment availability and utilization criteria.

AN - 36417937; 7288 AB - PURPOSE: The production of oil by BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc., (BPXA) from the Northstar Unit, located six miles offshore of the Point Storkersen area in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea, is proposed. BPXA's action would involve a self-contained offshore development and production facility located on a gravel island in 39 feet of water. The island would be constructed over the remains of Seal Island, built by Shell Oil Company to conduct exploratory activities within the Northstar Unit during the 1980s. Two pipelines buried in a single trench, extending from Seal Island to existing onshore facilities, would transport hydrocarbons to and from the Northstar Unit. The pipelines include a 10-inch common carrier pipeline from Seal Island to Pump Station Number 1 to transport sales quality oil to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. A second 10-inch pipeline to transport high-pressure gas from the Central Compressor Plant in the Prudhoe Bay Unit to Seal Island to assist with the gas cycling process used to deplete the Northstar reservoir. BPXA determined that the Northstar Unit contains approximately 158 million barrels of recoverable, high quality crude oil. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under BPXA's proposed action (Alternative 2), the production facilities on Seal Island would be designed to produce up to 65,000 barrels of crude oil and 500 million standard cubic feed of natural gas per day. The facilities would include 15 producing wells, seven gas injection wells, and either one or two Class I waste disposal wells. Approximately 700 to 800 tanker trips per year departing the Valdez marine terminal would be required to accommodate current North Slope production. The production of reserves from the Northstar reservoir would require the operation of additional tankers from the Valdez terminal. Over the life of the project, approximately 181 to 198 additional tanker trips would be required. All action alternatives would include the same offshore development and production facility; the differences distinguishing the action alternatives would involve routing and other aspects of the pipeline system. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative 5) would use a pipeline buried within a causeway rather than a trench and a landfall at West Dock. The Northstar project would be the first offshore oil and gas development and production facility in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea without a causeway to shore and the first to include a connection to onshore facilities by a buried subsea pipeline. The risks of oil spills from the offshore island and the pipeline system exposed to ice hazards demanded in-depth analysis. Moreover, the response limitations for oil spills under sea ice or in broken ice, and the concerns regarding effects of such spills, also required attention. Finally, the effects of long-term year-round offshore oil and gas development and production activities, particularly noise emissions, are of particular concern with respect to their impact on subsistence activities. The life of the Northstar Unit development would extend approximately 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The oil produced by the Northstar Unit would help meet energy requirements. The development and production activities would employ 730 workers during the construction and 25 workers during the life of the project. The project would contribute $520 million in gross state revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 5 would result in 3.1 miles of onshore pipeline on currently undeveloped land. The helicopter maintenance of the pipeline would disturb wildlife, particularly brant nesting areas. The noise and activity associated with the operation of the Seal Island facility, and related vessel transport operations, could result in a bowhead whale avoidance response during migration periods, potentially adversely affecting subsistence hunting activities. The project facilities would mar area aesthetics. Alternative 5 would present a risk of a 19 percent chance of a large oil spill (greater than 1,000 barrels).

AN - 16349411; 7283 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of West Virginia Route 9 (WV 9) from Berkeley Springs to Martinsburg, located in northeastern West Virginia, is proposed. WV 9, a two- lane, non-controlled-access roadway with lanes 10 to 12 feet wide, traverses the state's eastern panhandle from Berkeley Springs in the northwest to the state border with Virginia, in the southeast. The region is characterized by rough and steep terrain in Morgan County, and rolling hills and farmland in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties. WV 9 is the only major roadway that connects the two largest cities in the panhandle, Martinsburg and Charles Town, and links two other major interstate roadways, US 340 and I-81. The project area extends from the US 522 bypass on the east side of Berkeley Springs to a new three-legged directional interchange with WV 45 in Martinsburg. Except for a four-lane portion of roadway at the I-81, WV 9 in the project area is two lanes wide. The annual daily traffic volume varies from 2,800 vehicles per day near Berkeley Springs to 21,000 vehicles per day in Martinsburg. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Each of the build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane highway. The preferred alternative would begin at the US 340 bypass north of Charles Town and end south of Martinsburg, extending a total of 10.7 miles. The facility would provide bypasses around major population centers, following an alignment parallel to that of existing WV 9. From Charles Town bypass to Opequon Creek, WV 9 would be a controlled-access highway, with all access provided via interchanges. The existing bridge over Opequon Creek would be retained and a parallel bridge would be constructed just downstream of the existing bridge. Service roads would be provided on the west side throughout approximately one-third of the project's total length. Beginning at the Charles Town bypass, the alignment would run west of the existing roadway. Just north of Wiltshire Road, the alignment would cross to the east. Near Saint Paul Church and Cemetery, the alignment would cross back to the west to incorporate the Kearneysville bypass and the Baker Heights bypass. The alignment would continue on the west side of the existing facility until it crossed the existing alignment at Opequon Creek. From Opequon Creek, the alignment would lie north of existing WV 9 until it connected with existing WV 9 near the end of the project study corridor. Diamond interchanges would be provided at Currie Road (Route 9/1), Wiltshire Road (Route 8), relocated Route 1, relocated Opequon Lane (Route 9/17), and Van Meter Road (Route 9/19) in the vicinity of Liberty Business Park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The relocated, upgraded facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and provide for improved intermodal facility connections and for enhanced scenic values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of 425 acres of rights-of-way under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 37 residential units, three commercial units, one church, and one cemetery. The project would also displace 1.38 acres of wetlands, 105 acres of farmland, and 173 acres of prime soils and soils of statewide significance. The project would traverse nine sites containing potentially hazardous materials. Four sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected. Traffic-related noise levels would exceed federal standards at 21 receptor sites.

AN - 36414285; 7280 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a drinking water supply and treatment facility for the greater metropolitan area of Omaha, located in eastern Nebraska, is proposed. To meet peak-day demand through the year 2030, the district needs an additional maximum capacity of 104 million gallons per day. Major issues addressed include those related to land, water, air, noise, wetlands, vegetation, wildlife, threatened and endangered species, socioeconomics, recreation, cultural resources, and hazardous wastes. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The implementation of a water conservation plan would be included regardless of the alternative chosen. The proposed action (the Platte West Well Field and New Treatment Plan Alternative) would involve the construction of a well field, a treatment plant, and a transmission pipeline in Saunders and Douglas counties. The well field, which would be located on 2,230 acres of land straddling the Plate River, would include 40 to 46 wells sunk to pump water from the Platte River alluvial aquifer. The water would be delivered to a new treatment plant in western Douglas County via a 3.5-mile, 72-inch-diameter pipeline. The treatment plant, which would be located on a 158-acre site at the northeast intersection of Q and 216th streets, would be designed to handle an average annual capacity of 50 million gallons per day (mgd) and a maximum capacity of 100 mgd. The treated water would be delivered for distribution to Skyline Reservoir at the intersection of Pacific Street and Ranchview Drive and to a point near the intersection of Harrison and 180th streets. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a reliable supply of portable water to customers in the District through the year 2030. The facilities would provide a firm water supply to meet maximum daily, or peak, demand within the service area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Stormwater runoff from construction sites could degrade water quality in nearby streams, though this impact would be mitigated by the implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans mandated under state law. The well field would pump water from the Platte River aquifer, lowering the level of the groundwater table and, through induced infiltration, reducing the flow in the Platte River. Approximately 76 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected or lost as a result of reduced groundwater levels, though the creation of 92 acres of wetland at a site near LaPlatte would mitigate this adverse impact. The flow in the Platte River would decline by an average of 18,561 acre-feet during the period extending from February through July, a period considered critical for the endangered pallid sturgeon and the sturgeon chub, which is a candidate for special species status; this adverse impact would be mitigated via creation of a 400-acre backwater habitat west of Plattsmouth.

Preparation date: January 26, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FUTURE USE AND OPERATION OF CONTRA LOMA RESERVOIR PROJECT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16347980; 7269 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan for future use and operation of the Contra Loma Reservoir, located in western California, is proposed. The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) would comply with a California State Department of Health Services order that requires that the recreational body contact activities in the reservoir cease or that CCWD stop using the reservoir for domestic water supply storage. Major issues include those related to water resources and quality, recreation, visual resources, cultural resources, land use, public health, transportation, air quality, noise, energy, socioeconomics, fisheries, vegetation, wildlife, and geology, seismicity, and soils. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and a No-Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would permanently stop body contact activities in the reservoir in September 1999 and replace certain recreational uses by constructing a swimming lagoon within the existing reservoir footprint. A concrete-covered earthen berm would physically separate the lagoon from the main portion of the 80-acre reservoir. Water in the lagoon would be pumped, filtered, and treated to appropriate water quality standards for recreational use. This would allow existing drinking water and swimming uses to continue at the reservoir. The other alternatives would include ceasing the use of the reservoir for drinking water supply and the use of the reservoir for body contact activities, the construction of a water treatment plant and conveyance system (pipeline and pump station) to enable continued use of the reservoir for both purposes, and the provision of a connection between the East Bay Municipal Utility District's Mokelumne Aqueduct and the CCWD conveyance system so that water could be used as available from EBMUD, allowing the reservoir to cease to be used as a means of supplying potable water. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enable CCWD to continue using the reservoir for its historic domestic water supply purposes, including the use of the reservoir for meeting peaking requirements and the use for system reliability during shutdowns and other emergencies. Drinking water supplies and the health of swimmers would be safeguarded. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would lie within a seismically active area, which is also characterized by high shrink and swell potential that could result in subsidence. Body contact recreational opportunities at the reservoir site would decline significantly. The construction activities would result in the disturbance of wetlands, vegetation, and associated wildlife habitat, including habitat for special-status species, and could result in the disturbance of culturally significant sites. Facility maintenance requirements would increase. The swimming lagoon could result in a small change in the size and number of standing waves that could form in the reservoir in the event of a seiche.

NHF-74(14)/STATE PROJECT NO. 8.1801001/T.I.P. NO. R-2707). AN - 36413396; 13333 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, controlled access freeway on new location to bypass the existing four-lane section of US 74 through Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina is proposed. The project would also involve improvement of US 74 from the eastern terminus of the bypass to State Route (SR) 1001 and from the western terminus of the bypass to 0.6 mile west of SR 1162. Shelby is situated along existing US 74 in southwestern North Carolina. Traffic projections indicate that, in the absence of improvements to this section of US 74, traffic conditions on the highway would become unacceptably congested and increasingly unsafe. Accident rates on the facility already exceed statewide rates for similar highways. The subject section of US 74 is important both as a link in the state highway system and as a local thoroughfare. A No-Build alternative and three bypass alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Bypass alternatives would consist of improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from the proposed western project terminus, at a point 0.6 mile west of SR 1162, to the proposed western bypass terminus; construction of a four-lane divided fully controlled access facility on new location north of the city of Shelby; and improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from the proposed eastern bypass terminus to the excising fully controlled access section near SR 1001. The upgrade alternative would consist of improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from a point approximately 0.6 mile west of SR 1162 to SR 1001 east of Shelby, a distance of approximately 16.2 miles. In conjunction with access control-related improvements, the upgrade alternative would also widen US 74 as necessary between the western junction of US 74 Business in Shelby and the eastern project terminus, a distance of approximately 10 miles. The cost of the bypass alternative that has been selected at the preferred alternative is estimated at $247.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would separate local and through traffic on US 74 and increase the capacity of the facility, promoting more efficient transportation and thereby enhancing employment opportunities and opportunities for economic and residential development. Either alternative scenario would substantially improve safety on the local and through highways. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 165 residences, 25 businesses, two churches, 298 to 414 acres of important farmland, 268 acres of prime farmland, and 277 to 351 acres of forest. Approximately 2.4 acres of wetlands would be displaced, and 35 streams and six floodplains would be traversed. Approximately 18,389 feet of stream channel would be impacted, and 1,100 feet of a tributary of Buffalo Creek west of Moss Lake and 950 feet of a tributary of the First Broad River west of Lithia Springs Road would be relocated. Habitat of the endangered dwarf-flowered heartleaf would be impacted at 36 sites. The highway would constitute a barrier to wildlife movement. One architectural resource site, the Hamilton-McBrayer Farm, would lie within the area of potential impact, but the impact would not be adverse. The project would disturb 17 archaeological resource sites, but none of the affected sites are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Four known cemeteries could be affected, and three churches are located close enough to the alignment to suffer impacts from traffic-generated noise and vehicular air pollutant emissions. Several major electric transmission and distribution lines would be crossed. Traffic noise would impact 81 receptors, to 49 of which would experience substantial noise increases; 34 receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards. One landfill, potentially containing hazardous materials, and an active mine would be traversed.

Either alternative scenario would substantially improve safety on the local and through highways. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative, rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 166 to 272 residences, nine to 42 businesses, three to four non-profit organizations, 298 to 414 acres of prime farmland, 248 to 326 acres of state and locally important farmland, and 277 to 351 acres of forest. Up to 0.5 acre of wetland would be displaced, and four to 11 floodplains would be traversed. Approximately 3,600 feet of a tributary of Buffalo Creek west of Moss Lake would be relocated and 34 to 38 streams could be crossed. Between eight and 12 sites containing the endangered dwarf-flowered heartleaf. The highway would act as a barrier to wildlife movement. Four architectural resources would lie within the area of potential impact and, though one site (the Coleman Blanton Farm) could be impacted, the impact would not be adverse. All alignments would disturb archaeological resources, but none of the affected sites are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Between five and seven churches would be affected by the project either through relocation of through impacts such as decreases in ambient air quality or increases in traffic-related noise. One or two known cemeteries could be affected. Several major electric transmission and distribution lines would be crossed. Traffic noise would impact 137 to 205 receptors, 81 to 150 of which would experience substantial noise increases; 57 to 99 receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards. Between five and seven sites potentially containing hazardous materials would be traversed. Two active mines could be adversely affected.

Approximately 2.4 acres of wetlands would be displaced, and 35 streams and six floodplains would be traversed. Approximately 18,389 feet of stream channel would be impacted, and 1,100 feet of a tributary of Buffalo Creek west of Moss Lake and 950 feet of a tributary of the First Broad River west of Lithia Springs Road would be relocated. Habitat of the endangered dwarf-flowered heartleaf would be impacted at 36 sites. The highway would constitute a barrier to wildlife movement. One architectural resource site, the Hamilton-McBrayer Farm, would lie within the area of potential impact, but the impact would not be adverse. The project would disturb 17 archaeological resource sites, but none of the affected sites are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Four known cemeteries could be affected, and three churches are located close enough to the alignment to suffer impacts from traffic-generated noise and vehicular air pollutant emissions. Several major electric transmission and distribution lines would be crossed. Traffic noise would impact 81 receptors, to 49 of which would experience substantial noise increases; 34 receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards. One landfill, potentially containing hazardous materials, and an active mine would be traversed.

NHF-74(14)/STATE PROJECT NO. 8.1801001/T.I.P. NO. R-2707). [Part 2 of 3] T2 - US 74 SHELBY BYPASS, CLEVELAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FEDERAL AID PROJECT NO. NHF-74(14)/STATE PROJECT NO. 8.1801001/T.I.P. NO. R-2707). AN - 36378517; 13333-080099_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, controlled access freeway on new location to bypass the existing four-lane section of US 74 through Shelby, Cleveland County, North Carolina is proposed. The project would also involve improvement of US 74 from the eastern terminus of the bypass to State Route (SR) 1001 and from the western terminus of the bypass to 0.6 mile west of SR 1162. Shelby is situated along existing US 74 in southwestern North Carolina. Traffic projections indicate that, in the absence of improvements to this section of US 74, traffic conditions on the highway would become unacceptably congested and increasingly unsafe. Accident rates on the facility already exceed statewide rates for similar highways. The subject section of US 74 is important both as a link in the state highway system and as a local thoroughfare. A No-Build alternative and three bypass alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Bypass alternatives would consist of improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from the proposed western project terminus, at a point 0.6 mile west of SR 1162, to the proposed western bypass terminus; construction of a four-lane divided fully controlled access facility on new location north of the city of Shelby; and improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from the proposed eastern bypass terminus to the excising fully controlled access section near SR 1001. The upgrade alternative would consist of improvement of existing US 74 to a fully controlled access facility from a point approximately 0.6 mile west of SR 1162 to SR 1001 east of Shelby, a distance of approximately 16.2 miles. In conjunction with access control-related improvements, the upgrade alternative would also widen US 74 as necessary between the western junction of US 74 Business in Shelby and the eastern project terminus, a distance of approximately 10 miles. The cost of the bypass alternative that has been selected at the preferred alternative is estimated at $247.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would separate local and through traffic on US 74 and increase the capacity of the facility, promoting more efficient transportation and thereby enhancing employment opportunities and opportunities for economic and residential development. Either alternative scenario would substantially improve safety on the local and through highways. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 165 residences, 25 businesses, two churches, 298 to 414 acres of important farmland, 268 acres of prime farmland, and 277 to 351 acres of forest. Approximately 2.4 acres of wetlands would be displaced, and 35 streams and six floodplains would be traversed. Approximately 18,389 feet of stream channel would be impacted, and 1,100 feet of a tributary of Buffalo Creek west of Moss Lake and 950 feet of a tributary of the First Broad River west of Lithia Springs Road would be relocated.

Preparation date: January 13, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 10, MARSHFIELD TO WAUPACA; PORTAGE, WAUPACA, AND WOOD COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36414138; 7263 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 60 miles of US Highway 10 (USH 10) from the intersection of State Trunk Highway (STH) 13 and USH 10 south of Marshfield to the intersection of STH 54 and USH 10 near Waupaca, located in central Wisconsin, is proposed. USH 10 is a major east-west highway serving local, regional and interregional traffic. Major users include commuters, recreational traffic, and commercial trucks. USH 10 has been identified as a backbone and connector facility in the State of Wisconsin's Corridors 2020 Plan. This link as well as other major roadways in the state is part of its long-range plan to upgrade highways considered important to enhance Wisconsin's economic position. A No- Build Alternative and several build alternatives, with each build alternative addressed separately for one or more alignment options in each of eight project segments, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would expand the existing two-lane highway to a four-lane divided highway. Freeway access control standards would be implemented along the bypass portions of the route. Expressway standards, permitting at-grade intersections and farm access at controlled spacings, would be implemented in rural segments located along the existing alignment. The project has been divided into east and west sections. The western section, itself divided into six segments, would extend from the Yellow River to I-391/US 51, while the eastern section, divided into two segments, would extend from I-39/US 51 to Anderson Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help the highway to meet design standards for the type and volume of traffic it carries. It would also address the projected traffic increase, which would result in congestion and delays if no improvements were implemented. The proposed action would also address other highway characteristics demonstrating a need for action including a fatal accident rate well above the state average for similar facilities, a large number of direct access points from homes and businesses on the highway, and intersections requiring improvements and expansions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Primary adverse impacts would include relocations of three to 63 residential properties and farms and two to 18 businesses, land acquisition and conversion of up to 101.9 acres of wetlands, and 195.8 acres of farmlands and upland habitats. Approximately five streams would be crossed. Secondary adverse impacts would include noise increases, land use changes, and socioeconomic effects.

Preparation date: January 11, 1999 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MANTEO (SHALLOWBAG) BAY PROJECT, DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1979). AN - 36412914; 7261 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of navigation improvements within the Oregon Inlet and Roanoke Sound of the Outer Banks, located in eastern North Carolina, is proposed. All lands around the inlet are under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior. Lands to the south of the inlet, which are part of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR), are managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service, while lands to the north of the inlet are part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CHNS) managed by the National Park Service. Under the 1970 legislation, the project improvements authorized include the stabilization of Oregon Inlet with a dual jetty system, with a means to bypass sand around the inlet. They also include the dredging of a 20-foot-deep, 400- foot-wide channel through the ocean entrance at Oregon Inlet and a 14-foot-deep, 120-foot-wide channel from the ocean entrance to and through Roanoke Sound to and including a 15-acre basin of the same depth at the harbor of Wanchese near the southern tip of Roanoke Island. To date, only the harbor expansion and deepening have been accomplished. This dredging effort was undertaken in the late 1970s by the State of North Carolina with federal financing. Other portions of the project, principally the jetties and the sand bypass system remain mired in ongoing controversy over impacts of these components on the CHNS and the PINWR. Most importantly, it is believed that the jetties would aggravate beach erosion along Pea Island and impact the movement of larval organisms through Oregon Inlet. The economic viability of the project has also been challenged. This third draft supplement to the 1979 final EIS addresses an update of the jetty plan, including a weir jetty plan and a sand management plan. Features which have changed during the last EIS supplement dated May 1985 are considered. Changes would include realignment of the jetties to allow the south jetty to be attached to the seaward end of the Pea Island Terminal groin, final jetty spacing, shortening the jetties by 1,000 feet, and placing a weir section in the north jetty. In addition to these features, this supplement discusses alternatives to the proposed project, including a No Action Alternative, and anticipated impacts to significant resources and provides the latest economic evaluation of expected project benefits and costs. A dual jetty system at Oregon Inlet, with a 3,000-foot spacing, would be implemented. The north jetty would extend 10,020 feet, while the south jetty, including the existing terminal groin and a 1,000-foot weir, would extend 6,575 feet. Most sand bypass material would come from the deposition basin adjacent to the weir in the north jetty. Due to wave protection afforded by the north jetty and weir, sand bypassing would occur primarily during the fall and winter. Contractor-owned, ocean-certified pipeline dredges would be the primary plants for conducting bypassing. Approximately 126 acres of land on Bodie and Pea islands would be required for implementation of the jetty and sand bypass operations. Improvements to navigation channels associated with the project would include deepening the ocean bar channel to 20 feet at a width of 400 feet, from the inlet gorge across the ocean bar; enlarging the Manteo-Oregon Inlet Channel from mile 0 to mile 8.2 and the side channel to Wanchese to a depth of 14 feet and a width of 120 feet; and enlarging the basin at Wanchese to 15 acres at a depth of 14 feet. The estimated cost of the project is $91.9 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project implementation would support increases in heavy vessel traffic within the only navigable inlet between Cape Henry, Virginia, and Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina. The navigational safety as well as the economic efficiency of the channels would be enhanced significantly without undue adverse impacts to the CHNS and the PINWR. Commercial fishing interests would be particular beneficiaries of these improvements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The jetties would block all littoral drift, causing a buildup of sand fillets on the outside of the structures and alterations in the bottom profiles offshore. The beach and dune ecosystem would be adversely affected by sand bypassing operations. Some beach organisms, such as mole crabs, would recover quickly; others, such as ghost crabs, could take considerably longer to recover. The dredging activities would disturb benthic habitat and cause turbidity in the water column. The definitive conclusions regarding the adverse impacts of the project on larval fish and shellfish migration are still not completely known. The disruption of the habitat of the piping plover, a federally-protected species, as well as listed species of sea turtles, could occur. Approximately 100 acres of pre-1900 topography, of potential historical significance, would be altered, though it appears that no cultural resource sites would be disturbed.

AN - 16350535; 7262 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 20-mile bypass of Tuscaloosa and Northport from US 82 on the north side of the Black Warrior River extending east and southeast to I- 59 and I-20, located in western-central Alabama, is proposed. The Tuscaloosa area has experienced dramatic population growth in recent years, and US 82 and State Route (SR) 69, the two major highways in the area that cross the Black Warrior River, are severely congested during peak periods. The six-lane bridge on SR 69, located in the downtown area, had an average daily traffic volume of 55,110 vehicles per day in 1996; the four-lane bridge on US 82 had a volume of 53,800 vehicles per day. Planning for the area has long identified the need for additional river crossings. The bypass to the east of Tuscaloosa would reroute through traffic, disperse local traffic, and relieve congestion on the two existing bridges and area roads. Nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Each of the build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided highway with full-control access and interchanges at I-59 and I-20, US 11, SR 216, Crescent Ridge Road, River Road, McWrights Ferry Road, Rice Mine Road, Watermelon Road, SR 69, US 43, SR 171, and US 82. Two sites are under consideration for the crossing of the Back Warrior River: at Central Foundry and near Reichold Drive. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the project would extend from the I-59/I- 20 interchange approximately 1.23 miles east of Buttermilk Road interchange and run north passing east of the Cottondale community crossing US 11, SR 216, and River Road. From River Road, the facility would continue north crossing the Black Warrior River at Central Foundry, cross Rice Mine Road at Coral Industries, proceed north and west across Watermelon Road, SR 69, and US 43, and turn south at SR 171 continuing to US 82 west of Northport. The total costs of the project would range from $217.5 million to $247.4 million, depending on the alternative considered. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $228.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce network travel time, relieve congestion on existing highways, improve levels of service, separate local and through traffic, and provide an acceptable design speed throughout the network to maximize traveler benefit. The project would also increase opportunities for regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 253 residences, 13 businesses, 33.17 acres of wetlands, and 763.7 acres of upland forest. Five hazardous waste sites would be traversed, though none constitutes a major hazardous site. Eleven noise sensitive receptors would experience substantial increases in noise levels.

AN - 16349367; 7258 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of mining and reclamation plans submitted by two applicants with respect to sand and gravel mining along the upper Santa Maria River and the lower Sisquoc River, located in southwestern California, is proposed. The applicants are Coast Rock Products, Inc., which proposes to mine along both rivers, and Kaiser Sand and Gravel, Inc. (formerly Southern Pacific Milling Company), which proposes to mine along the Sisquoc River. The Coast Rock project site would cover 3,148 acres along 12 miles along both rivers. The Kaiser Sand and Gravel operation would cover 400 acres extending along the Sisquoc River approximately 13 miles east-southeast of the city of Santa Maria. The counties of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo are proposing a specific plan area to encompass the areas proposed by both applicants and a 1,000-foot buffer area, which together comprise 8,500 acres extending 14 miles from Bradley Ditch, downstream of Fugler Point to a point 1,500 feet below the buried dam. Both applicants have been mining sand and gravel in the area for a number of years. Currently, county-permitted areas encompass 1,590 acres in Santa Barbara County and 170 acres in San Luis Obispo County. Much of this area has already been excavated. In order to continue operations, both applicants have applied for permits to expand their mining operations and have prepared master plans for mining and reclamation on their respective properties. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Sand and gravel produced by project activities would provide for the needs of the construction industry and other purposes of local interests and employ significant numbers of workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The long-term effects of project activities would include the displacement of farmland, including prime farmland, and conflicts with other potential land uses. However, the project would result in a residual long-term effect that would either maintain or increase existing farmland acreage due to reclamation activities. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 96-0316D, Volume 20, Number 4.

The daily positions of five (1997) to six (1996) stations anchored into the ice, were measured using total station surveying equipment. The velocity curves for each station were stacked and smoothed to generate one velocity profile for each of the two study periods. The velocity curves for each summer show a similar seasonal trend of velocity increasing abruptly and significantly in early June, attaining a seasonal high in late June and early July, then generally decreasing through mid-August. Data from both field seasons show that velocity increases after mid-August through the end of the field season. In addition, short-term, small-scale fluctuations in the two records indicate the glacier responds to meteorological events, such as sunny periods and rainfall, as illustrated by abrupt changes in velocity. The velocity records are compared to input and output proxies in an attempt to develop a conceptual model for the evolution of the subglacial drainage system throughout the melt season. The current hypothesis is that Matanuska Glacier's subglacial drainage system consists of low, broad canals in subglacial sediment. The velocity records have a hysteretic relationship with the discharge of a stream that is sourced by glacial discharge vents. At the start of the melt season, there are large increases in ice velocity with very little change in stream discharge, indicating the subglacial drainage system has not fully developed to accommodate the increasing influx of meltwater generated by the onset of summer temperatures. It is hypothesized that meltwater influx increases through late June and early July, and subglacial water storage causes increased basal water pressure. Drainage system evolution and increased basal water pressure are suggested to control the horizontal ice velocity. Late melt season ice flow reduces drainage system capacity faster than the meltwater inputs decrease. Some drainage areas may cease discharging water because subglacial pathways become disconnected, which causes storage to again increase.

The technique has yielded realistic matrix T estimates at three karst and fractured sites tested thus far (Y-12, Oak Ridge, TN, Ammunition Burning Ground, Crane, IN, and Ft. Campbell, KY). Field data show that well hydrographs are valid indicators of the T of matrix portions of karst or fractured aquifers. Results show 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. In addition, the technique allows estimation of separate Sy in different domains of the aquifer: conduit/larger fractures, smaller fractures, and aquifer matrix. In the case of the sites evaluated, the Sy calculated for the larger fractures was one to two orders of magnitude smaller than that in the matrix portions of the system. The well hydrograph analysis technique shows promise for obtaining reliable estimates of aquifer matrix T and Sy in multi-porosity systems with a simple, relatively inexpensive, and passive method. Thus far, the utility of the technique is limited in its application to shallow, submerged, interconnected, multi-porosity systems located in areas with sufficient rainfall for water levels in wells to respond to precipitation events. Use of this technique in combination with (1) traditional tracer test results to obtain flow velocities in quick flow portions of the aquifer, (2) slug tests in quick-flow dominated portions of the aquifer to estimate T of the conduit/fracture zones, and (3) estimates of the percentage of the aquifer to which to apply the differing Sy values will allow improved characterization of hydrologic parameters in heterogeneous, multiple porosity systems.

Because of their hydrophobicity, PAHs accumulate in bed sediments and pose a risk to the benthos. Information on the toxicity of sediment-associated PAHs is, however, limited and more information is needed to improve sediment quality-criteria and ecological risk analysis. This research project was designed to improve our understanding of the acute and sublethal effects of PAHs to benthic invertebrates. Sublethal bioassay protocols for benthic harpacticoid copepods were developed, and two species of harpacticoids were exposed to a range of concentrations of sediment-amended PAHs; the single compounds fluoranthene and phenanthrene as well as a complex mixture (diesel fuel). The harpacticoid copepods Schizopera knabeni and Nitocra lacustris were tested using several bioassay approaches. Reproductive assays, feeding assays and avoidance tests were conducted in addition to lethal tests for S. knabeni. Test protocols yielded repeatable results and statistically sound data. Adult harpacticoids were found to be relatively tolerant to PAHs in 10-day exposures (e.g., the LC (sub 50) for S. knabeni was 345 mu g/g PAH). Species-specific differences in sensitivity were detected. Early life history stages were much more sensitive than adults in one species but not in the other. Concentrations of PAH as low as 26 mu g/g PAH decreased copepod offspring production, egg hatching success, and embryonic and early-stage development, demonstrating the high sensitivity of life history-related endpoints. In addition, grazing on microalgae was significantly impaired at concentrations as low as 20 mu g/g PAH after short exposures ( or =2.5 km cross-shore. The morphodynamic activity on the shoreface is sub-divided into three types; i) inactive shoreface (no morphodynamic activity is observed seaward of the shoreward depth of closure (at 5 to 8 m water depth)); ii) partially active shoreface ("re-opening" of the shoreface profile i.e. the profile must first exhibit a shoreward closure); and iii) fully active shoreface (the profile does not exhibit a shoreward closure and so is morphodynamically active along the total cross-shore distance). At Large-Scales (> or =10 years; > or =10 km alongshore) it is found that the percentage occurrence of type ii) increases rapidly with time until 20 years when an almost constant value is reached. Simultaneously the percentage occurrence of type iii) increases linearly with time so that, after 32 years 33% of profiles are fully active on the shoreface. It is hypothesised that shoreface activity results from slow, cumulative rather than occasional, extreme processes. Extrapolation beyond the data limits suggest that after approximately 90 years, all profiles along the Holland coast will exhibit morphodynamically active shorefaces. This work verifies that the middle/lower shoreface is morphodynamically active at decadal scales. These changes are occurring at timescales which mean that they must be considered within coastal management. Further, these results suggest that the onshore feed of sediment from the shoreface will have profound implications for long-term sediment budgets (cf. Stive et al., 1990).

(1996). After showing the sensitivity of sediment transport rate to the shape of bottom velocity profile, cross-shore distributions of sediment transport rate in the nearshore zone are calculated using estimated near-bottom orbital velocities and corresponding undertow velocities. Calculations explain most of the results of recent laboratory and field studies. The same kind of criterion presented by Sunamura and Horikawa (1974) to separate accretional and erosional profiles is obtained. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The model was run over an initially plane sloping bed (1:50); the wave climate was schematized into a storm period of 11 days (wave height H (sub s) approximately 2-3 m), followed by a fair-weather period of 40 days (H (sub s) approximately 1 m). The tidal range TR was varied between 0 and 8 m. The model predicted the formation of a subtidal multiple bar system for TR4 m) an intertidal ridge-and runnel-like system was formed with similar bar spacing, but smaller bar heights than modeled for the subtidal bar systems under non- to mesotidal conditions (TR<4 m). The predicted bar characteristics agree reasonably well (at least, qualitatively) with those observed under natural conditions. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

One method was based on topographic surveys where the ground level was repeatedly measured at on-offshore fixed points on the beach face. The other method involved direct measurements through a streamer-type sand trap. The on-offshore sediment transport rates obtained by using these two methods agreed well with each other. Based on results from the observations in this study and previous observations conducted by the authors (Kubota, et al.; 1997), the relationship between the on-offshore sediment transport rate on the beach face and the external forces that produced the transport was investigated. The on-offshore sediment transport rate on the beach face was shown to be closely related to a parameter involving the deviation of the beach face slope from its equilibrium value and the swash oscillation height and period.

By testing different surge levels and duration, effects of these to the shoreline change were evaluated. In addition, the conditions of beach recovery were investigated experimentally. On the other hand, we proposed the method, which can be applicable to complex hydrograph such as real storm surge by modifying equation proposed by Kriebel and Dean. Moreover, applicability of this method is verified by comparing computing result with experiments. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

This paper presents the data collected during the part of the measurement programme with a bed consisting of sand. During the latter series, detailed measurements of instantaneous fluid velocities and sediment concentrations were made resolving the spatial structure (in both horizontal and vertical direction) of the velocity and concentration fields. The analysis and interpretation is aimed at identifying the relative importance of mean flow, long and short waves to the net sediment fluxes and transport. It is found that the oscillatory suspended sediment transport dominated by the short wave transport cannot be neglected. Secondly, attention is paid to the sediment response and its effect on the sediment fluxes. The net oscillatory fluxes are seen to critically depend on the phase shifts between velocity and concentration at each frequency. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

Prior to harbor construction (1877/79 to 1948), net shoreline advance occurred throughout much of the study area. After the Harbor was constructed, there was down-drift recession along a reach extending to about 2.1 km south of the Harbor (1948 to 1970). For the same period, the 8.3-km of coast south of this erosion zone illustrated net accretion. As a result of beach fill placement in 1974/75, net shoreline advance was documented for the period 1970 to 1996 for a distance 8.8 km south of the entrance, indicating long-term effectiveness of the beach fill. Regional changes in sand volume along the updrift margin of the north Harbor jetty were quantified by analysis of historical bathymetric data for the years 1929, 1956, and 1996, coupled with shoreline-position data for 1928, 1948, and 1996. Bathymetric surfaces were generated for each time period to calculate net volume changes by comparing surfaces. These data, combined with dredging records, defined the net longshore sand transport rate at Canaveral Harbor (236,000 m (super 3) /yr) for determining a net bypassing rate in the absence of the Harbor (119,000 m (super 3) /yr).

Different epsilon (sub s) -distributions are selected and optimized for a set of measurements with currents and waves. The best performing method is used to analyze the dataset. This results in plots of the bottom concentration, c (sub 0) , the maximum value of the sediment diffusion coefficient coefficient, epsilon (sub s) and the value over which epsilon (sub s) is constant, a, for different hydraulic conditions. The consistency of these parameters is quite good. Further, it is shown that very large differences are found if an epsilon (sub s) -distribution is used to calculate the concentration profile for both uniform and graded sediment.

AN - 52289440; 2001-001478 AB - A summary is presented of the results of an inlet management study to determine the alongshore impacts and sediment budget of Pensacola Pass, FL, U.S.A. Pensacola Pass is a large tidal entrance on the Gulf of Mexico, located in Escambia County in the westernmost portion of Florida, and has existed in this area for over 300 yrs. Maintenance and new work dredging of the entrance since 1883 have increased the controlling depth of the channel from approximately 6.5 m to over 12 m. The channel dredging has resulted in the removal of over 35 million m (super 3) of material, of which approximately 21 million m (super 3) were disposed of offshore. The dredging program has drawn down the ebb-shoal volume of the Pass and significantly reduced natural sand bypassing. Comparison of limited pre-dredging data suggest the dredging and the construction of two small structures on Perdido Key (west side) have arrested the westward migration of Santa Rosa Island (east side). Analysis of historic shoreline changes, even-odd analysis, and wave refraction/littoral transport data indicates that the Pass noticeably influences the adjacent shorelines along a reach of 12 to 15 km, to either side. Wave refraction analysis indicates the possibility of a local reversal in net transport direction from westerly to easterly drift along Perdido Key, drawing sand off the downdrift shoreline back into the Pass. Sediment budget analysis employing a new technique proposed for the upcoming Coastal Engineering Manual confirms this phenomenon and indicates an ambient net transport value for the area of 30,000 to 55,000 m (super 3) /yr, westerly directed.

Three separate tests were conducted, one with a constant water level and two with a sinusoidal variation in water level--each with the same tidal period but with different amplitudes. The identical (irregular) wave characteristics were used for all three tests. Our results indicate that water level fluctuations over time scales associated with tides have significant impact on beach profile development, particularly in the horizontal location of the bar and berm features. This impact was greatest for the largest tidal amplitude. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The budget analysis was carried out for 11 sectors which were further subdivided into a total of 91 subreaches, depending on shoreline type, orientation and exposure; offshore bathymetry and substrate type; and the existence of coastal structures. Physical data including wind, waves, currents, water levels, beach profiles and nearshore bathymetric and bottom geophysical surveys were measured and/or hindcast to support the sediment budget development. Selected numerical model investigations were also conducted to provide insight into shoreline behavior and sediment transport rates. Where possible the measured entrapment of sediment at a number of coastal structures, including a temporary sand bag structure installed for this investigation, was employed to verify sediment transport rates in the sediment budget. The dominant source of sediment on the southwest coast is a pair of large offshore reefs. Waves generated by the tradewinds drive sediment to the west along the southwest coast at an average potential transport rate in the order of 175,000 cubic meters per year. However, the actual rate is about a third of this rate because transport occurs primarily along the beach face and pathways on the nearshore reef. Along the more protected west coast sediment transport is generally along the beach face and to the south at net rates that are about a tenth of the rate on the southwest coast. A sediment source for the west coast is the many fringing reefs that lie along the shoreline. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The distinct scales of resuspension for sand and mud at this location allow concentrations of both size classes to be determined simultaneously from a single OBS time series. For this study, OBSs were calibrated separately using sand and mud collected off Duck, N.C., OBS voltage gain associated with mud was found to be an order of magnitude larger than that for sand. Based on this calibration, it was shown that the mass concentrations of particles smaller than 63 microns pumped off Duck during October 1997 were consistent with the lowest 1st to 5th percentile of voltage recorded by the OBSs. Calibrated OBS response above this background turbidity was consistent with pumped sand concentration as long as corrections were made for (i) varying size of suspended sand, (ii) the precise time of pump sampling and (iii) for apparent noise in the OBS records. Correction for the smaller size of suspended sand relative to that used during calibration decreased OBS estimates of sand concentration by about 50%. Accounting for noise decreased OBS estimates of sand concentration by about 0.04 and 0.2 grams/liter during the first and second parts of the field experiment, respectively. This study also demonstrates that suspended sand and mud can be accurately pump sampled in the nearshore during storms using relatively inexpensive, commercially available equipment.

Muriwai is a high-energy meso-tidal beach characterised by modal breaker heights of 2.5 m and incident wave periods of 10-15 s. The monitored rip system had a 400 m long, 75 m wide longshore feeder channel and a 150 m wide rip-neck channel oriented obliquely to shore, extending seaward over a distance of almost 400 m. During the experiment, the beach evolved from a longshore bar-trough and rip state to an incipient transverse bar and rip configuration. Mean eulerian flow velocities measured on the margin of the feeder channel and rip-neck were on the order of 1 ms (super -1) and instantaneous flows were commonly in excess of 2 ms (super -1) . Mean lagrangian surface flow velocities extending from the base of the feeder through to the rip-head were on the order of 0.7 ms (super -1) with maximums in the rip-neck region of 1.6 ms (super -1) . A distinct tidal modulation of rip current flow existed with maximum velocities occurring at low tide and minimum velocities at high tide. Although the magnitude of the morphodynamic and hydrodynamic processes occurring within large-scale rip systems is extreme, the behaviour of these rip systems is very similar to low-energy rips with much smaller spatial scales. There is evidence to suggest that distinct morphodynamic scaling relationships transcend these two energy regimes. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

From wave tunnel measurements it appeared that the near-bed transport rate could be predicted with reasonable accuracy using a relatively simple bedload transport formulation. Suspended load transport rates (q (sub suspended) ) were measured in a large wave flume and in the field using optical and acoustical instruments. The time-averaged suspended transport component and the high-frequency suspended transport component were found to be the most important components in determining the direction and the magnitude of the net suspended transport rate. The computed near-bed transport rate was found to be of the same order of magnitude as the net suspended transport rate and sometimes even larger. The high-frequency suspended transport component could be predicted with reasonable accuracy using the method of Houwman and Ruessink (1996). JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

These measurements revealed cross-shore variations in the heavy-mineral concentration. To determine which mechanisms generate these variations in sediment density and what the effects of these placers are on sediment transport and profile deformation, laboratory experiments are conducted. These experiments comprise measurements of hydrodynamics, profile deformation, suspended sediment concentrations and sediment composition under storm conditions on a 1:40 sloping bed with varying sediment composition.

A computational model of the flow and sediment transport over vortex ripples has been constructed, which makes it possible to perform morphological calculation of vortex ripples. Using a stability analysis of the fully developed ripples, the minimal wave length of the ripples is calculated. This minimal wave length was found to depend on the settling velocity only.

Investigations of shoreline erosion, therefore, necessarily include a range in scales of processes and causes, both spatial and temporal. This is illustrated by the review of a number of case studies of erosion problems throughout the world. The examples show that too often we adopt an overly simplistic view of the causes of erosion, generally focusing on the short-term factors, the most recent storm, while ignoring the longer-term underlying causes. The latter are commonly the product of human impacts on the environment. We think of humans as being the victims of coastal erosion--we overlook the fact that often they are the cause.

However, little quantitative verification of the standard functional shoreline forms, the logarithmic-spiral shape and parabolic shape, has been made. In addition, limited guidance is available for applying the functional shapes in engineering practice. In this paper, we investigate the two shapes by fitting to 46 beaches in Spain and in the North America covering from large regional scale to small project scale. Software is described which automates the fitting. A new function, called the hyperbolic-tangent shape, is introduced for engineering applications. The hyperbolic-tangent shape is easy to fit, and its controlling parameters have simple geometric interpretation. Guidance is given for interpreting and fitting the three headland-bay beach functions, with background data listed. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The purpose to this paper is to describe time-tested procedures used to design stable protective beach planforms with headland breakwaters and beach nourishment that interface the system both alongshore with adjacent properties and upland with the client's landuse objectives as well as address concerns of environmental regulations. Therefore, system design must include not only wave climate and littoral process analyses but also upland runoff, bank geology, shoreline morphology, sedimentation, aesthetics and function. The three sites in this paper reflect additions and refinements to design procedures resulting from involvement by the authors in over 60 previous Chesapeake Bay installations of headland breakwaters since 1985. Design procedures for each site include: 1) a shoreline history and geomorphic assessment, 2) wind/wave hindcasting, 3) nearshore wave refraction modeling with RCPWAVE and 4) beach planform modeling using empirical formulae. Over the past ten years the authors have developed and calibrated the elements of the above design procedures with a high degree of confidence. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The quantification of the suspended sediment transport especially inside the surf zone is extremely difficult caused by the spatial complexity and temporal variability of hydro- and morphodynamic processes. Therefore field and laboratory data are needed to describe and quantify sediment transport according to hydraulic conditions. Within the EU-MAST III SAFE-Project prototype scale wave flume experiments have been carried out in 1996 and 1997 in the "Grosser Wellenkanal" (GWK) in Hannover. The experiments focussed on the development of beach profiles under random waves attack and varying sea levels. The analysis of experimental hydro- and morphodynamic data emphasize the importance of a precise description of the suspended sediment distribution along the profile with respect to engineering use. In this paper results of the suspended sediment distribution in cross-shore direction obtained from the SAFE-experiments are presented. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

Ensemble averaging of nearly identical repeated wave groups allowed us to examine the influence of the wave group, particularly the effects of antecedent waves, on the patters of re-suspension at an intra-group time scale with a greater degree of confidence in SSC estimates than is conventionally possible. Systematic, vertical migration of inflection points in wave averaged SSC profiles and hysteresis in wave averaged near bed SSC measurements both illustrate the importance of antecedent wave suspension.

The increasing availability of more reliable long-term observational data (direct and indirect) and of more detailed shoreface field observations seems to support earlier suggestions that the shoreface may be a potential source of coarser sediments to the nearshore. Here, this process is investigated by hindcasting and extrapolating long- and short-term observations available for the shoreface along the Ebro Delta. Analysis of the field data indicates that a structural onshore sediment flux is likely. Although a direct proof that this is also true on longer-term scales is not easy to substantiate, the careful conclusion is drawn that there exists circumstantial evidence that there is a net long-term feeding of coarser sediment towards the nearshore to an amount which is just about enough to compensate for "losses" due to the present sea-level rise rate in the region.

The technique was developed in the Davidson Laboratory large wave tank, which measures 98 m by 3.7 m by 1.8 m deep. The tank is equipped with a programmable hydraulic wavemaker and a 20-m long sand beach (median grain size, 0.23 mm). Monochrome photographs were obtained using a Hasselblad 500EL camera housed in a clear glass enclosure fixed above the sand bed in 20-cm deep water. Grab samples containing water and suspended sediments were taken from the tank at discrete elevations above the bed at the exact moment a photograph was taken. The developed photographs were digitized and saved as TIFF files. Gray Scale (light intensity) measurements were made from the images in the vicinity of the water/sand samples. The gray scale readings from the images were correlated with the sediment concentration from the grab samples in order to calibrate the photographs. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

It may be hypothesized that stochastic turbulent processes in a near bed zone control deposition of flocs. So far, many studies have been performed for unidirectional currents. However, a large difference exists in basic characteristics for the response of water-mud system to wave-induced motion. In this paper, a physical model is studied for deposition of natural cohesive sediments under regular waves. Measuring velocities and dynamic pressure on the bottom, bottom shear stress could be estimated. It is found that at very close values of bottom shear stress the rate of deposition is rapidly changed due to pressure steepness on the bottom. The common empirical formula of cohesive sediment deposition (Krone, 1962), which depends only on bed-shear stress is modified to reflect this effect and shows a better adaptation to measured data.

It is found that at least two published relations provide good estimates of the combined wave-current bed shear stress T (sub b,cw) . Vertical eddy diffusivity epsilon (sub s) and the bed reference concentration C (sub b) are however less well quantified by existing relations. This is particularly apparent in the surf zone, where a turbulence closure model is required to accurately simulate vertical mixing throughout the depth.

The major ports are Laem Chabang, and Map Ta Put Ports which are located in a small and large bays. Both ports are located in a dynamic equilibrium bay shape. In order to control coastal erosion, an extended breakwater and a new coastal structure were proposed as an upcoast control point. A static equilibrium bay can then be formed and the problem of coastal erosion can be minimized.

This study presents theoretical models of instability of river mouth locations in pocket beaches. The theory shows that river mouths cannot exist stably in the central region of beaches but can exist only within regions near the both ends of beaches when the capability of longshore sediment transport relative to the dimensions of beaches is not sufficiently large in comparison with the load of river sediment supply relative to the dimensions of rivers.

Whilst they are characterised by cellular circulation often accompanied by intermediate beach and shore zone morphology, the dimensions of rip systems can vary by an order of magnitude. Small rips with longshore spacings on the order of 50-100 m are found in lower energy, short fetch sea environments, while high-energy swell environments can have rips up to 800 m apart. Despite this wide range in scale, field evidence suggests that rips across this range have very similar morphological characteristics. This paper examines the spatial and morphological characteristics of rips from a range of wave environments and identifies a systematic variation in longshore rip spacing, which can be related to the level of wave energy associated with the regional wave environments.

To evaluate survey data used to calculate event-dependent D (sub c) and to extend observations to 13 m depth on an oceanic wave-dominated beach, downward-looking sonar altimeters at 3 depths (5.5, 8, and 13 m) were deployed at the Field Research Facility of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Sonar data are compared with survey data during August-December 1995. Surveyed profile data and sonar altimetry measurements of seabed elevations were within 8+ or -4 cm in 5.5 and 8 m depths. Continuous sonar altimeter measurements include storm events and span a range of seabed elevations of O: 40 cm at all locations. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The contribution of mean currents and oscillatory motions were estimated for both longshore and cross-shore fluxes. Most of the transport can be explained by the mean component, specially during fair-weather periods, major deviations occur during the impact of storms where the wave contribution increases in importance. Moreover, when analyzing the vertical distribution, a consistent behaviour has been observed, in such a way that all measured levels contribute in the same direction. However, during a major storm some reversals where detected and has been explained by the presence of strong winds which induce a mean current in the upper layer directed seawards whereas at the bottom is directed onshore and mainly explained by wave action. Depth-integrated cross-shore and longshore transports are of the same order of magnitude. Cross-shore fluxes are shoreward during all the measured period whereas the longshore component suffers some reversals, the major in coincidence with the pass of a sever storm, although a southern trend dominates.

The sand was part of approximately 20,000 yds (super 3) of material emplaced from construction excavations. Mean grain-size was about 0.20 mm and approximately 18% of the sediments had diameters less than 0.075 mm. The disposal sands were eroded, then advected by longshore currents (v>0.50 ms (super -1) ), forming plume of suspended sediments. The purpose of this project was to monitor the suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in the plume, the dynamics of the plume, and potential sedimentological and geomorphological implications of the disposal project. Grain size and beach profile characteristics indicated minimal physical change from the project. Water samples showed maximum SSC of about 1.5 gm l (super -1) adjacent the disposal site, minimum SSC in the plume of about 0.1 gm l (super -1) , and ambient SSC (outside the plume) of about 0.1 gm l (super -1) . The magnitude of nearshore water motion was sufficient to generate turbulent velocities that were large relative to fine-sediment settling velocities, and minimal deposition should have occurred in, or near, the surf zone. The plume was detected over a distance exceeding 17 km, with a width of 300+ meters. Fine sediments were dispersed over a large area, minimizing potential effects, especially vis-a-vis the production of significant deposits in the nearshore. Maximum concentrations detected were small relative to storm runoff-induced plumes common to the region. The geomorphological impacts of this project were trivial.

The data show the details, including shoal feature movements and channel migrations, of the response to channel dredging in 1997. The way the newly dredged channel is migrating is particularly interesting. The channel is beginning to migrate along its middle portion where the adjacent shoal depths are the shallowest.

Turbidity-tank tests show that, for the optical backscatter sensor, simply ignoring the light backscattered from any sand that is also in suspension results in only a small error in estimate of suspended-silt concentration. The converse is true for the acoustic backscatter sensor: ignoring the sound backscattered from any silt that is also in suspension results in a good estimate of suspended-sand concentration. Measurements from an estuarine tidal channel that is a known conduit for suspended silt and sand are used to confirm the implication from the tank tests that optical and acoustic sensors can be used to discriminate between silt and sand components of the suspended-sediment load. Whereas the optical data imply vertically uniform concentration profiles, which is consistent with vanishingly small particle settling velocity (i.e., silt), the acoustic data are consistent with an equilibrium suspension and particle settling velocity that corresponds to sand. The acoustic signal varied on an approximate 6-h cycle, exactly in phase with the tidal-current speed, but the optical signal varied on a cycle twice that length, in phase with the water depth. The differences are explainable in terms of the differences between suspended-silt transport, which is linked to waves on the surrounding intertidal flats, and suspended-sand transport, which derives from resuspension by the tidal currents of the channel-bed sediment. We conclude that, with some qualifications, the acoustic backscatter sensor can be used as a suspended-sand meter and optical backscatter sensors can be used as suspended-silt meters.

A time-varying record of the swash event covering the full swash extent at a spatial resolution of 2 mm is used to compare observed measurements to those predicted using the Shen and Meyer (1963) model for uprush following bore collapse show significant over-prediction of the maximum shoreline position, swash period and swash height. This is consistent with the findings of Hughes (1992). Observations of the video record suggest that turbulent flow continues within much of the uprush and backwash phases of the swash. A "flow reversal" phase similar to that seen by Larson and Sunamura (1993) was also observed. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

Several features are highlighted which may have implications for swash zone sediment transport models. (1) The velocity profile is not symmetrical and takes on a saw-toothed appearance in the uprush, with the rise to maximum velocity being almost instantaneous. (2) Uprush is characterized by decelerating flows and backwash by accelerating flows. (3) Exfiltration or ground water outflow induced by large negative (upward acting) hydraulic gradients, is an erosional mechanism for providing readily entrainable (fluidized) material that can be carried offshore or onshore by the flow. (4) Phasing of the destabilizing gradients with the velocity profile is essential for erosion to occur. (5) Infiltration or drainage into the bed occurs when the subsurface layers experience positive (downward acting) pressure gradients. (6) The onset of infiltration is governed by the time interval between each swash event, location in the swash lens, the subsurface flow regime and the saturation characteristics of the bed. From the data shown, it is not clear what mechanisms are responsible for beach accretion. The key to understanding accretionary events may be hidden in the complex internal mechanisms of the subsurface layer or phreatic surface which, at the leading edge of the swash limit, fluctuates between saturated and partially saturated states.

Model simulations show that skewness plays an important role in the determination of the net cross-shore sediment transport. Comparisons with laboratory data indicate that cnoidal wave theory can reproduce the observed skewness and sediment transport fairly well outside the surf zone. After wave breaking the agreement between the models and the measurements is poor. Alternative wave theories show better agreement. The phase resolving model is able to reproduce the velocity skewness well across the entire cross-shore profile. The calculated sediment transport shows better agreement than the phase-averaged model. However, discrepancies still occur in the outer surf zone. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

This has been done under conditions of wave-induced oscillatory flow. A two-channel Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) system was used to obtain velocity measurements over a physical model of two-dimensional sand ripples in a wave flume. The development of the boundary layer with phase can be observed clearly from velocity profiles and has been used in the calculation of bed roughness parameters.

Approximate volume balance between updrift accumulation and downdrift erosion, which served as a reliability indicator, was obtained in four of the six runs. Magnitudes of three of the four reliably measured transport rates were considerably lower than predictions by the CERC formula calculated based on contemporaneous measurements of the breaking waves. Predictions of the Kamphuis-91 formula were closer to the measured rates. Error analysis indicated that maximum uncertainties in determination of the longshore wave-energy flux factor and in the measured rate of volume change were 22 to 48% and 22 to 43%, respectively. The sum of these produced a 40 to 90% maximum uncertainty in the empirical coefficient K appearing in the CERC formula. Because the range in values of K cannot be explained by measurement error or uncertainty, it is concluded that K is not a constant and other factors must enter, such as breaker type, turbulence intensity, and threshold for transport.

Each campaign covered two complete tidal cycles (25 hours) with hourly measurements of currents, salinity, suspended sediment concentration and water level. The results show that the Camboriu estuary is a partially mixed one. During neap tide is verified a regular stratification pattern and at during spring tide it presents a intratidal variation of the salinity stratification. The suspended sediment contribution of the Camboriu estuary to the ocean during the measured conditions was of 11,900 kg during mean tide and 32,400 kg during spring tide. Resuspension is a key process in suspended sediment dynamics in this estuary, increasing the mean concentration of suspension in water column, and the fluvial advection and the vertical shear are the main transport mechanisms acting.

The reference concentration, C (sub 0) , during the storm increased rapidly for the first 20 hours but then remained approximately constant although wave heights continued to increase (for a further 30 hours). The time at which C (sub 0) stopped increasing corresponded to the beginning of the reconfiguration of the sea bed suggesting that the bed form (orbital megaripples) changes may acting to reduce the suspension process. If generally true, then the suspension (and transport?) over sea beds in equilibrium with the waves (the orbital ripple condition) maybe be significantly less than that over non-equilibrium ripples, under the same wave conditions. The suspension profiles over the bedforms were also observed to depend on the position of measurement, with the higher concentration associated with the ripple troughs.

Under the particular conditions of the experiments, the data indicate that the effect of increasing the oscillatory velocity was to increase the prominence of near bed suspension events generated during "backward" flow reversals in the wave cycle while decreasing the wave period greatly reduces the peaks associated with flow maxima. The events near "backward" flow reversals exhibit a lag with increasing elevation above the bed. This lag decreases with increasing peak oscillatory velocity.

AN - 52285359; 2001-000540 AB - The authorized Presque Isle Shoreline Erosion Control Project in Lake Erie at Erie, PA was constructed October 1989-November 1992 and consisted of a 58 segment detached breakwater system with beachfill. During construction, GENESIS modeling was used to evaluate deferring construction of the first three breakwaters. The GENESIS predicted shoreline response is compared to the actual response. Aerial photography and high-density lidar survey data (via SHOALS) were used to evaluate post-construction interactions between the nearshore, shoreline, and the breakwaters. The nearshore morphology throughout the project is highly variable and complex and a strong influence on the resultant shore response to the breakwaters.

In addition, new findings from two of the cape-associated shoals, Lookout Shoal and Diamond Shoal, confirm that these features are principal sinks for sediment from the barrier island littoral system. These results are integrated into a steady-state model that estimates the long-term (past 4 ky) and large-scale sediment budget of the transgressing barrier islands and inner-shelf. Conservative estimates of the volume of sand captured within the cape-associated shoals and dispersed across the shelf imply that an additional supply of "primary-source" sand was necessary to maintain the islands through migration while accounting for the shelf deposits. Model results also reveal that the volume of sand lost from the barriers is of the same order of magnitude as the estimated contribution of sand from Pre-Holocene substrates. This near balance in volume between a primary source and its sink suggests that the amount of sand retained within these migrating islands is limited by the dominance of longshore transport and, ultimately, loss to the cape-associated shoals.

The barrier is bordered by modified inlets that have impacted the island's sediment budget. Downdrift of Masonboro Inlet that forms the barrier's northern border, chronic erosion and overwash have precluded dune redevelopment. The Hurricanes of 1996, coupled with the aforementioned factors, have led to rapid translation of major barrier segments. Hurricane Fran one of two hurricanes to impact the island during a seven-week period in 1996 produced surge levels that exceeded the 100-yr flood level (3.4 m). Recession varied from less than 12 m along the inlet fillet to more than 45 m along the reach updrift of Carolina Beach Inlet, which forms the southern boundary of the island. Post-storm profile elevations along the southern half of the island were less than 1.5 m above mean low water (MLW). The southern portion of the island was translated landward during Hurricane Fran. Shoreline recovery was monitored during the past 18 months at eight stations along the barrier. The data show dramatic variations in shoreline recovery patterns. The net shoreline (HWL) change varied from +40 m along the northern segment to -8 m along the southern segment where overtopping routinely occurs. Much of the barrier's southern portion will be translated landward at accelerated rates due to the lowered profile and increased washover activity. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

Most of the beach profile models developed, neglect the effect of long waves. In this study the effect of long waves on the cross-shore sediment transport rates is investigated using a numerical model. The model combines a phase-resolving wave height module based on the Boussinesq equations, with an intra-wave sediment transport module. The wave module is shown to predict the intra-wave currents well for both the short and long wave components. The sediment transport calculations showed that the long waves have only a small effect on the time averaged sediment transport rates. The long waves were found to have a larger effect on the instantaneous sediment transport rates. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

The vertical profiles of suspended sediments were measured acoustically, and the vertical coherence length scale was found to be an order of magnitude greater than the wave boundary layer. The cross-shore horizontal coherence length scale of suspended sediment was determined using a two meter lagged array of six optical backscatter sensors. The horizontal coherence length scale, defined as the e-folding scale of the exponentially decreasing horizontal coherence, was approximately 0.8 times the rms wave orbital excursion length for all cross-shore stations. Both the vertical and horizontal coherence length scales are longest for infragravity waves and decrease with increasing frequency. JF - Coastal Sediments: Proceedings of the ...

In this paper, we analyzed the observed field data to determine the relationship between wave conditions and the fluidization of the sand and also the movement of the sand in the surf zone, especially near the breaking points where sediment transport is dominant. The following results were obtained: (1) The change in the water depth, estimated from the effective stress at the time of data collection, correlates with the daily sounding data. (2) The depth estimate oscillates diurnally and the oscillation appears to correspond to the rise and fall of the sea surface associated with the tide. (3) In the surf zone, the effective stress change is caused not only by steep waves but also by the action of the wave breaking itself. Strong offshore currents are triggered by the breaking of a series of steep waves. (4) There is a difference between the long-term current pattern at the offshore side of the bar and that at the onshore side. This difference seems to contribute to the formation of the bar.

The resulting tidal inlet behavior is complex and dynamic. Most important in terms of impacts to neighboring shorelines is the tendency for beach sediments to deposit in the flood and ebb tidal shoals. As a portion of this sand is permanently lost from neighboring beaches, significant erosion can occur. Consequently, the planning and design of shore protection projects adjacent to inlets must be based on an understanding of the interaction between the inlet and neighboring shorelines. This paper outlines the engineering and morphologic histories of Fire Island, Moriches and Shinnecock Inlets, which are within the Federally authorized Fire Island Inlet to Montauk Point, New York, Combined Beach Erosion Control and Hurricane Protection Project study area. The analyses presented herein provide an overview of inlet studies currently underway in the development of inlet management and/or shore protection for the study area.

The wave characteristics and native sand size were held constant while 2 initial fill sand placement geometry configurations and 3 different fill sand sizes were observed for 150 minutes of oblique, monochromatic wave attack. Three existing beach nourishment evolution theories which involve diffusive theory were used to analyze the experiments. The results revealed that, when the fill sand is initially placed high on the berm, larger sand sizes are somewhat less transportable. By placing the sand high on the berm the nourishment is less of a perturbation, thus reducing sediment transport. When the fill sand is initially placed farther into the surfzone, the fill sand and native sand mix. Thus, the results preclude definitive conclusions. The three methods of analysis produced a range of results. The methods varied initial boundary conditions and the inclusion or exclusion of refraction effects around the nourishment. The range of results indicate that beach nourishment evolution prediction techniques are sensitive to initial conditions, refraction effects and sand sand sizes.

Likewise, the prehistoric archaeological material often contained within these deposits records the imprint of past habitation patterns. In order to properly read these two records, however, it is necessary to understand the linkage between stratigraphy, environmental change, and the dynamics of the formative geomorphic and hydrologic processes. Here we present a new 3D simulation model of drainage basin evolution, and illustrate how the model can be used to develop new insights into the role of process dynamics and environmental change in shaping the geoarchaeological record. The model tracks dynamic changes in topography across a triangulated finite-difference mesh, in response to a randomly-generated sequence of storms. Erosion and sedimentation are computed using a discharge-slope formulation for both detachment capacity and excess sediment transport capacity; net erosion at a point is equal to the lesser of these two. In order to realistically simulate floodplain processes, a dynamic meshing technique is used to link the landscape model with a 1D model of lateral channel migration and overbank deposition. The near-surface exposure age of each sediment layer deposited is used as a simple proxy for soil development and archaeological potential. The model is applied to a small drainage basin in the Flint Hills region of central Kansas. Maps of simulated stratigraphic patterns reveal systematic spatial variations in deposit ages and exposure history, both across the landscape and with depth at a given point. These patterns are closely tied to geomorphic setting, and they demonstrate the potential for variability in stratigraphy and archaeological potential both across a watershed and with depth. The simulations are compared with geomorphic and stratigraphic data from Fort Riley, KS. The model results imply that even in the absence of external forcing (e.g., climate change), the natural dynamics of channel erosion and sedimentation can generate spatial variability in valley fill stratigraphy and, consequently, in the age and archaeological potential of valley fill deposits.

Like many other problems, both identification and implementation of ecologically and economically acceptable solutions is complex. Recognizing the scope of this issue and perceiving that limited progress had been achieved, the International Joint Commission (IJC) asked its Great Lakes Water Quality Board to review the magnitude of the problem and what progress had been made in managing contaminated sediment by Canada and the United States. In addition, the Commission also asked for an identification of obstacles to remediation and recommendations for solutions. This paper provides a synopsis of this work and a summary of an IJC workshop held in June of 1997, in Collingwood, Ontario. Six categories of obstacles to sediment remediation are discussed, potential solutions are identified, and a series of recommendations are proposed. A plan of action to further develop approaches to sediment management and to stimulate additional remediation throughout the basin is also presented.

The presence of hydrocarbons, cis-1,2 dichloroethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride, which are TCE transformation byproducts, in the shallow sandy aquifer downgradient of the apparent source area suggests the potential for reductive dechlorination of TCE. Analysis of groundwater for intrinsic remediation parameters strongly indicates that natural degradation is occurring. A hybrid remedy has been proposed for the site: monitored natural attenuation (MNA) and source area reduction are being considered to address groundwater, while bioventing has been selected for remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils.

Time series analysis techniques that include parametric spectra, auto-correlation, and cross correlation are utilized to identify low frequency rhythmic patterns in the shoreline. Non-stationarity and phase shifting of rhythmic patterns is identified via comparison of the shoreline changes for different time intervals. Probability density functions of the shoreline change rates are also investigated and found to be in reasonable accord with Gaussian filtered noise.

The Dredged Material Management Plan (DMMP) is addressing this need through a combination of technical studies and regional consensus building. A number of management options are under consideration to meet the Port's dredge material needs. The options consist of a mix of techniques that reduce or immobilize contaminants (decontamination, stabilization, contaminant reduction) to encourage beneficial use of dredged material, and the more traditional containment methods (islands, pits, upland disposal sites).

In 1997, the US Army Corps of Engineers have developed a new applied engineering tool and methodology called micromodeling, which uses a small-scale physical model to simulate sediment conditions in rivers and streams. Since the introduction of micromodels in 1994 by the St Louis District Corps of Engineers, the technology has been used to address a variety of sedimentation problems and issues.

S. Department of Defense needs effective, low cost processes to remediate explosives-contaminated surface and groundwaters. A 115-day field study was conducted at the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant (Chattanooga, TN) to determine the feasibility of using continuous surface-flow wetland modules to remove high levels (> 2.1 mg L super(-1)) of explosives (TNT; 2,4DNT; 2,6DNT; 2NT; 3NT; 4NT) from groundwater, and to assess the accumulation of explosives in wetland plants. Nine rectangular polyethylene containers (1.9 m long x 1.0 m wide x 0.8 m deep) were plumbed so as to achieve a hydraulic retention time of 7 days. Replicate treatment modules consisted of planted sediments, non-planted sediments, and UV-shielded non-planted sediments. Samples of the influent water, effluent water, plants and sediments were extracted and nitroaromatics in the extracts were analyzed by HPLC. Rates of nitroaromatic removal from water varied with nitroaromatic chemical species, treatment module and time. The average removal rates of total nitroaromatics were 5.44 mg L super(-1) d super(-1) in the cat-tail planted modules, 4.45 mg L super(-1) d super(-1) in the non-planted modules, and 4.01 mg L super(-1) d super(-1) in the UV-shield non-planted modules. The average levels of total nitroaromatics in the effluent water from the cat-tail planted, non-planted and UV-shielded non-planted modules were 14.0, 28.1, and 34.4 mg L super(-1), while those in the influent were 94.6 mg L super(-1). Low levels of 2ADNT and 4ADNT were transiently observed in the plant biomass. No nitroaromatics were found in the sediments.

The endpoints of growth, mortality and reproduction (L. plumulosus only) were assayed and compared against both the tissue and sediment concentrations of TNT. TNT tissue concentrations at or above 6.3 ug TNT per g of wet weight tissue significantly reduced reproduction and survival of L. plumulosus and TNT tissue concentration at or above 61 ug TNT per g of wet weight tissue significantly reduced the survival of N. arenaceodentata . The application of such empirically-derived data towards ecological risk assessments at military sites contaminated by TNT explosives is under consideration. There are 52 references.

For reservoirs with high P sub(L) (>15 gm/m super(2)/yr), R sub(P) increased markedly with modest increases in R sub(T). Reservoirs with lower values of P sub(L) exhibited less dramatic responses in R sub(P) to changes in R sub(T). The water quality management implications of this are great since reservoirs for which marked changes in R sub(P) can occur with modest changes in R sub(T) are potential management loci within a drainage basin.

Franco; PP/DF) and a lodgepole pine/Engelmann spruce forest (Pinus contorta Loud., Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.; LP/ES) located on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, USA, were examined following severe wildfire to compare total soil carbon and nitrogen capitals with unburned (control) forests. One year after fire, the average C content (60 cm depth) of PP/DF and LP/ES soil was 30% (25 Mg ha super(-1)) and 10% (7 Mg ha super(-1)) lower than control soil. Average N content on the burned PP/DF and LP/ES plots was 46% (3.0 Mg ha super(-1)) and 13% (0.4 Mg ha super(-1)) lower than control soil. The reduction in C and N in the PP/DF soil was largely the result of lower nutrient capitals in the burned Bw horizons (12-60 cm depth) relative to control plots. It is unlikely that the 1994 fire substantially affected nutrient capitals in the Bw horizons; however, natural variability or past fire history could be responsible for the varied nutrient capitals observed in the subsurface soils. Surface erosion (sheet plus rill) removed between 15 and 18 Mg ha super(-1) of soil from the burned plots. Nutrient losses through surface erosion were 280 kg C ha super(-1) and 14 kg N ha super(-1) in the PP/DF, whereas LP/ES losses were 640 and 22 kg ha super(-1) for C and N, respectively. In both forests, surface erosion of C and N was similar to 1% to 2% of the A-horizon capital of these elements in unburned soil. A bioassay (with lettuce as an indicator plant) was used to compare soils from low-, moderate- and high-severity burn areas relative to control soil. In both forests, low-severity fire increased lettuce yield by 70-100% of controls. With more severe fire, yield decreased in the LP/ES relative to the low-intensity burn soil; however, only in the high-severity treatment was yield reduced (14%) from the control. Moderate- and high-severity burn areas in the PP/DF were fertilized with similar to 56 kg ha super(-1) of N four months prior to soil sampling. In these soils, yield was 70-80% greater than the control. These results suggest that short-term site productivity can be stimulated by low-severity fire, but unaffected or reduced by more severe fire in the types of forests studied. Post-fire fertilization with N could increase soil productivity where other environmental factors do not limit growth.

AN - 16339712; 11745 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new multi-lane freeway, to be known as the Fayetteville Outer Loop, around a portion of the City of Fayetteville in Cumberland, Hoke, and Robeson counties, North Carolina is proposed. The 27-mile project would extend from an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) in Robeson County, continue north through Cumberland and Hoke counties, turn eastward along the southern boundary of the Fort Bragg Military Reservation, and end just west of Ramsey Street (U.S. 401). The facility would be a four-lane, divided freeway, with full access control. Grade separations or interchanges would be constructed at selected public crossroads. Design elements would include a minimum right-of-way of 350 feet, a depressed median width of either 70 feet or 46 feet, and a collector/distributor roadway system between the All American Freeway (State Route 1007) and Bragg Boulevard (North Carolina 24). The project would be executed via six separate construction projects over right-of-way acquisition for the entire project continuing over a period of four years. In conjunction with I-95, the Fayetteville Outer Loop would complete a circumferential freeway around the city of Fayetteville. In addition to the build alternatives, this final EIS considers a Mass Transit Alternative, Transportation Systems Management Alternative, an alternative involving improvement of existing facilities, and a No-Build Alternative. Thirteen build alignment alternatives are considered in the draft EIS of March 1999. Estimated overall project implementation construction and rights-of-way acquisition costs of the build alternatives range from $350.5 million to $381.9 million. A preferred alternative have been selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Accessibility in the Fayetteville area and the Fort Bragg Military Reservation would improve significantly, easing passenger movement and boosting the local economy. The facility would provide direct access to I-95 and reduce congestion on many existing roads. Construction of the freeway would fulfill the goals of the Fayetteville Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan and the Cumberland County 2010 Land Use Plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition and development would result in displacement of 224 to 326 residents, five to six businesses, three to four non-profit organizations, 163 to 455.3 acres of farmland, and 145 to 195.2 acres of riparian wetlands. The alignment would traverse 47.6 to 70.9 acres of floodplain land, affecting 26,305 to 32,715 feet of stream channel. Noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 323 to 459 residential receptor sites. Five of the alternatives would affect a National Wildlife Refuge System wetland conservation easement held by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and eight alternatives would affect the Shaw-Gillis property, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Between 19 and 24 hazardous material sites would be located within or near the alignment. The project could affect the red-cockaded woodpecker, a protected species.

Preparation date: 2--5 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NATIONAL HARBOR PROJECT, PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36412366; 7230 AB - PURPOSE: The development of 7.25 million square feet of commercial and retail space, to be known as National Harbor, on a 534-acre site at Smoot Bay on the Potomac River, located in south-central Maryland, is proposed. The Prince Georges County intends the development at the site to further and fulfill certain economic development and land use planning objectives. The county has stated that the development of a specialized economic activity center on the Potomac River shoreline would create employment opportunities within the county and provide increased retail opportunities for county residents. Furthermore, the county desires high-quality development of this prominent waterfront location to enhance its overall image and attract residents of the greater metropolitan area and visitors to the national capital region. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the parcel would be developed for a mix or retail, office, and hotel uses in four- to six-story buildings. The site would include a regional visitor's center. The site would provide a mix of retail, office, hotel, and entertainment uses. More specifically, the site would include 3,750 hotel rooms, 200,000 square feet (sf) of office space, 3.1 million sf of retail space, and 80 boat slips. The complex would include a themed entertainment and retail complex. Due to the character of the planned entertainment facilities, entrance fees could be charged for access to a portion of the site. In addition, an architectural element that could rise to a height of 180 feet could be located on the site to serve as a visual icon for the complex. The site would attract an estimated 12 million visitors annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development of the National Harbor site would result in direct and indirect encouragement of commercial, retail, and residential growth in the area. The site activities would employ 12,350 workers at full build-out. Annual tax revenues generated by the complex would amount to $29.5 million, representing a 2.4 percent increase in the county's existing tax base. State tax revenues would be increased by $71.8 million. Minority communities would benefit from economic growth in the area. The physical appearance of the parcel would be improved significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Site development would result in a major change in existing land use, converting a vacant site to a commercial complex, and altering visual and other physical aspects of the site. The plan would be inconsistent with an existing policy planning memorandum of understanding. Seven known archaeological sites eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be disturbed, and historic architecture would be effected by construction activities. The Addison Family cemetery would suffer contextual changes. Development activities, including dredging, would displace 98 acres of woodland, 1.59 acres of intertidal habitat, 23.08 acres of deep-water areas, 0.42 acres and 3,132 linear feet of nontidal wetlands and intermittent streams and the associated wildlife habitat including bald eagle habitat. Boat operations would result in long-term turbidity. The traffic generated by the complex would increase congestion on access roads and have long-term, moderate impacts on regional air quality. Sewer and stormwater flows would increase somewhat in the area. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

AN - 36407893; 7227 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of environmental restoration activities, with incidental recreational benefits, at Lake Alamo and along the Bill Williams River, located in central-western Arizona, is proposed. Alamo Lake is located on the border of La Paz and Mohave counties on the Bill Williams River, 39 miles upstream of its confluence with the Colorado River at Lake Havasu. Alamo Dam, completed in July 1968, was authorized to provide flood control for lower Colorado River communities downstream of the Parker Dan as well as downstream flood protection along the Bill Williams River corridor. Major problems specific to the study areas include the degradation of riparian habitat along the Bill Williams River and at Alamo Lake, the underutilization of recreational opportunities in the affected area, and the underutilization of available water conservation storage space. The river contains the last extensive native riparian woodland habitat within the lower Colorado River system. However, much of the native riparian community has been lost or severely degraded since the construction of the dam due to the resultant reduction in downstream flow. The altered water regime has severely stressed the existing native vegetation, prevented the natural recruitment of cottonwoods, and allowed the native vegetation to be extensively replaced by non-native salt cedar, the latter having little habitat value. The optimal water regime would combine sufficient base flows with large spring pulse flows and monsoon storm events. Base flows which would minimally support existing riparian vegetation would consist of flows in the range of 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 50 cfs. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the selected plan, Alamo Lake levels would be managed for a target elevation of 1,125 feet. If storm events raised the lake above this elevation, water would be released rapidly to return the lake to the target elevation. When the lake elevation fell below 1,125 feet, water would only be released to meet maintenance base flows in the Bill Williams River and to satisfy downstream water rights. Large releases would not be made to accommodate flood events until lake elevations exceeded 1,125 feet. The plan would require no additional construction, land acquisition, easement purchases, disposal areas, relocations, or other alterations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would restore a properly functioning riparian ecosystem by implementing a flow regime that mimics the natural pattern of historic pre-dam flows. The plan would provide increased habitat values while maintaining existing flood control benefits and increasing recreational opportunities. The habitat value in the study area would increase by 135 habitat units as compared to the No-Action Alternative. The releases with higher peaks would probably reduce the number of occasions at which the reservoir elevation exceeded 1,135 feet, thereby reducing the possibility of the inundation of bald eagle nests located in the area should the eagles return to nest sites within the reservoir. The estimated benefits of the plan are $27,000 to $31,000 over the life of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would negligibly increase evaporative losses due to increase in the lake surface area LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-611).

AN - 36415216; 7221 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of beach nourishment and dune stabilization along the open coastline on Brigantine Island, located in southeastern New Jersey, is proposed. The 6.5-mile-long island contains the city of Brigantine and the North Brigantine State Nature Area at the northern end of the island. Significant beach and dune erosion has left the island vulnerable to storm damages. Severe storms in recent years have caused a reduction in the overall beach height and width along the study area, exposing the community of Brigantine to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve beach nourishment using sand obtained from an offshore borrow area. The plan would require 648,000 cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial beachfill placement, and 312,000 cy for periodic renourishment every six years over a 50-year project life. The nourishment project would extend from 15th Street North to 15th Street South, with an 800-foot taper on the northern end that runs into the Nature Area and an 1,100-foot taper on the southern end that ends around 19th Street South. The total length of the project is 9,300 feet. The project would result in a 100-foot-wide berm with a top elevation of six feet NAVD. On top of the berm from 9th Street North to 15th Street South, a dune would be constructed with a top elevation of ten feet NAVD and a top width of 25 feet and one-foot vertical to five feet horizontal side slopes. The dunes would be planted with ten acres of dune grass and protected by 12,000 linear feet of sand fence. The estimated initial project cost is $4.86 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.19. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects, improve management of federal shore protection projects, provide effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. The project's benefit to cost ratio is 1.19. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and disturb endangered sea turtles and a resident surf clam population. In addition, the beachfill operations could disturb an endangered species, the piping plover.

AN - 36417476; 7215 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 20-year plan for dredged material management for the Duluth-Superior Harbor, located at the western end of Lake Superior between Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, is proposed. The harbor is formed by the waters of the Saint Louis River, a major tributary of Lake Superior. The 32-square-mile harbor includes 17 miles of federally authorized navigation channels, anchorage areas, and maneuvering basins, with channel depths ranging from 20 to 27 feet. Maintenance dredging of the navigation channels removes about 150,000 cubic yards (cy) of material each year. About 25 percent of the dredged material is classified as coarse sand and used for beach nourishment and other beneficial uses. The remainder is placed in the Erie Pier Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) in Saint Louis Bay; this facility, however, will soon reach its maximum capacity. Fifteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 23), are considered in this final EIS. The federally preferred alternative (the Base Plan) would consist of the continued use of the existing dredged material placement sites in the harbor along with the addition of five deep holes, providing a total capacity of at least 3.0 million cy. The five deep holds are the Hearding Island and the East Gate Basin Deep Holds, both in Superior Bay, the Interstate Island Deep Hole in Saint Louis Bay, the Old Arrowhead Bridge Deep Hole near the upstream end of the harbor, and the Allouez Bay Deep Hole. Upon the completion of the filling of each deep hole, the hole would be capped with a layer of clean dredged material if necessary. The locally preferred plan would use a site located between Rices Point and the Lakehead Site in the northern portion of Saint Louis Bay. The dredged material would be placed in the embayments and channels to a shallow depth in order to create physical conditions for the natural development of vegetation for shallow water aquatic habitat, compensating for some of the acreage of such habitat historically lost in the Saint Louis River estuary. This site would be used in combination with the existing Erie Pier and beach nourishment sites to accommodate at least 3.0 million cy of material. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continued maintenance dredging would prevent significant shoal buildup in the navigation channels, which would interfere with shipping by reducing channel depths. The creation of an estuary at the locally preferred disposal site would improve water quality and benefit fish, wildlife, and birds. The project would extend the life of the existing Erie Pier CDF with a physical separation of the facility s existing material. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms would be killed during dredging. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal sites. The use of deep holes would eliminate some benthic habitat, reducing habitat diversity at the southern end of Allouez Bay.

During the growing season, the inlet served as a net source of phosphorus, primarily due to the release of phosphorus from the sediments. More phosphorus was released from the sediments of the inlet (600 kg) than was input from the upstream watershed (460 kg). This release was caused by high pH associated with high photosynthetic activity. During the remainder of the year, the inlet served as a net sink for phosphorus, retaining 6% of the phosphorus input from the watershed. Over the entire year, this wetland was a net source of over 500 kg of phosphorus to downstream Delavan Lake. A constructed riverine wetland upstream of Delavan Lake Inlet demonstrated a similar periodic release of phosphorus. However, in this case, the summer release of phosphorus was less than that trapped during the remainder of the year. The constructed wetland served as a net sink for approximately 20% of the input phosphorus on an annual time scale. The role of existing and constructed wetlands as phosphorus traps is complex. Wetlands can act as a source or a sink for phosphorus depending on the ambient conditions in the wetland. How a wetland fits into a rehabilitation plan depends upon its net retention efficiency and the importance of the periodic releases of phosphorus to downstream waters.

Species evaluated were the submersed Ceralophyllum demersum L. (coontail), Potamogeton nodosus Poir. (American pondweed), and the emergent Sagittaria latifolia Willd. (common arrowhead). Plants were rooted in local, IAAP, sediment under continuous-flow conditions at 25 degrees C. Unplanted sediment served as control. 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine (RDX) levels in groundwater were 0.8 and 10.7 mg L(exp -1), respectively. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 30 days. TNT decrease rates in groundwater did not differ significantly between implanted and planted sediment treatments. Aqueous TNT concentrations decreased exponentially (first- order kinetics). TNT removal constants decreased in the order of arrowhead > pondweed > sediment > coontail, ranging from 0.533 to 0.375 d(exp -1). Using these removal constants, periods to reach a cleanup level of 0.002 mg L(exp -1) of 45 to 1,015 days were calculated for treatments under fully mixed conditions. Cleanup periods were greatly reduced under plug-flow conditions, ranging from 1 to 16 days. Final aqueous TNT and TNT degradation product levels were extremely low or below detection, while they were below detection in plants and sediments. RDX decrease rates in groundwater were significantly higher by planted than by unplanted sediment treatments. RDX decrease was significantly enhanced by amendment with microbes. Aqueous RDX concentrations decreased linearly (zero-order kinetics). RDX removal rates ranged from 0.28 to 0.13 mg L(exp -1) d(exp -1). RDX cleanup levels were not reached under fully mixed conditions. Cleanup periods under plug-flow conditions ranged from 79 to 200 days for submersed species and implanted sediment treatments.

AN - 36403301; 7212 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a review of the existing permit program for the construction of international bridges on the U.S.-Mexico border is proposed. Under current regulations, bridge sponsors must submit an application for a Presidential permit to the Secretary of State, Border Coordinator, Office of Mexican Affairs. Currently, ten international bridge proposals for construction are awaiting action; of these, seven have received presidential permits and three still have pending permit applications. All bridges could be completed within the next five years. Bridge structures generally consist of reinforced concrete roadway over concrete girders supported by columns on concrete pilings. Bridge abutments include concrete riprap at headerbanks to slopes no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical. Facilities include toll plazas, water and sewer hookups, and structures for three federal agencies (the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Customs Service, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service). Existing facilities cover an average of 14 acres. Most crossings are arranged for traffic flow in both directions; however, some bridges maintain traffic one way only. The total area of a bridge, approach roads, and facilities can cover up to 500 acres. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would continue the existing permit system, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the Presidential Permit process would be implemented. Under the process, proposed bridge sponsors would address reasonably foreseeable direct and indirect impacts of the proposed bridges in the environmental impact analysis accompanying the application. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife would issue Service Biological recommendations. U.S.-Mexico treaty commitments on flood control for the Rio Grande and river boundary preservation would be addresses through the International Boundary and Water Commission. This programmatic draft EIS would serve as a foundation document for the evaluation of specific proposals for new bridges crossing the Rio Grande River. Applicants would be able to tier-of the results of the programmatic EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project applicants would be required to counteract the loss of habitat along the Rio Grande watershed. Additional bridge construction would expand economic growth opportunities on both sides of the border. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional bridge construction would result in the loss of prime farmland, potential loss of flood control, disturbance of riparian wildlife corridor, increased surface runoff and sediment deposition, and increased air emissions from construction equipment and vehicles.

AN - 19887640; 4499359 AB - The use of airboats is expanding in Alaska, particularly in the interior. This study describes the nature, magnitude, and distribution of disturbances caused by airboat trails over floating mat fen wetlands in the Tanana Flats near Fairbanks, Alaska. Airphoto interpretation showed over 300 km of airboat trails by 1995, with a 15% expansion of the trail system since 1989. Field sampling was done at 30 trail and adjacent control sites along this trail system to assess changes in hydrology, soils, and vegetation. Water velocities in the trails at two-thirds of the sites were at least an order of magnitude greater than velocities of less than 1.5 cm sec super(-1) in the control areas. On average, 30 cm of the 0.5-0.75 m thick floating mat has been removed or eroded by airboat traffic at the sampling locations. Nearly all emergent floating mat vegetation has been destroyed (5% cover remaining on average) so that the trails resemble a highly visible open water stream channel 2-3 m wide through the floating mats. Although the recovery and regrowth potential of floating mats in trails in high, recovery is unlikely in trails with continuing use.

Analysis of available data indicates that substantial cost increments arise in connection with environmental windows, and that significant cost savings could be derived from resolution of over-restrictive windows. Rigorous, technically valid research on environmental windows is needed to assess fundamental issues such that windows can be confidently adjusted to strike the required balance between adequate resource protection and cost-effective dredging practices.

AN - 36414946; 7208 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 18-mile segment of US Highway (USH) 12 linking the communities of Sauk City and Middleton, located in south-central Wisconsin, is proposed. The two-lane highway is a principal east-west connector route across the region. A high volume of commuter traffic and agricultural vehicles, combined with numerous access locations and substandard geometric layout, have created a high risk of severe crashes and a low level of service. From 1985 to 1995, a total of 1,818 crashes occurred along this stretch of highway. Thirteen alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), the existing roadway would be upgraded to a four-lane, divided rural highway that would generally follow the existing alignment in order to avoid existing resources and preserve farmland and farm operations. Public and private access to the new rural expressway would remain at-grade and continue to be controlled through existing state statutes. The project would also involve the widening and rehabilitation of the existing two-lane bridge crossing the Wisconsin River at Sauk City to create a three-lane crossing with wider shoulders to accommodate bicycles and other non-motorized traffic, the provision of a four-lane, divided freeway bypass to the west of the city of Middleton, and the improvement and signalization of intersections at various locations. The access to the bypass would be controlled through grade-separated ramp interchanges at Schneider Road and Airport Road, and the US 14 cloverleaf interchange would be adapted to the new freeway location. The existing roadway through Middleton would remain in place as a local road. Rideshare programs, park-and-ride lots, and staggered work shifts would be implemented as part of the proposed project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce the number of fatal crashes in the project area significantly while increasing capacity, improving geometric characteristics, and providing safer passing, turning, and crossing opportunities. The four-lane highway would give drivers greater flexibility in maneuvering within the high volume of traffic. The improved traffic flow would reduce noise and pollutant levels. The project's benefit-cost ratio could be as high as 6.1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would involve the displacement of housing units, commercial properties, farmland, woodland, and wetlands. Up to six historic sites and two archaeological sites would be adversely affected. The route would traverse a portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.

AN - 36405724; 7200 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 8.3-mile section of State Route (SR) 119 between Blairsville and Homer City, located in west-central Pennsylvania, is proposed. This section of highway is a two-lane roadway between two four-lane sections of SR 119. The highway is the primary north-south route connecting three western Pennsylvania counties: Clearfield, Indiana, and Jefferson. The highway enables commuters residing within or near the project area to travel to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the largest employer in Indiana County. As part of the upgrade of SR 119, a pedestrian-bikeway facility would be constructed on an abandoned railroad bed along the west side of the highway, beginning at the intersection with SR 2011 at Black Lick and extending north to Homer City. This facility would ultimately tie into a larger rails-to-trails project planned between Indiana and Cambria counties. The primary purpose of the SR 0119 South Improvement Project is to provide safer, less congested, and more efficient traffic conditions and linkages throughout the study area. Eleven alternatives, including a mass transit alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, a No-Build alternative, and eight build alternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (the Combination Widening Alternative) would involve upgrading the existing two-lane alignment to a four-lane highway by widening SR 119. In some areas, the widening would occur entirely to the east, entirely to the west, or on both sides of the existing alignment in order to minimize impacts to environmental features and structures. The design features such as turning lanes, jughandles, and signalized intersections would be installed at critical locations along the highway. The estimated construction and right-of-way costs of the project are $46.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would improve traffic flow conditions in the project area, relieve existing traffic congestion, improve safety, and accommodate growth anticipated in the land use and comprehensive plans of adjacent communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would adversely affect farmlands and displace 41 residences, one vacant residence, six businesses, two vacant businesses, two community facilities, 17.14 acres of wetlands, 84.8 acres of prime farmland, 77.6 acres of farmland of statewide importance, 3.1 acres of floodplain, 22.6 acres of rangeland, and 66.3 acres of forest. The facility would traverse five perennial streams, five intermittent streams, four potentially sensitive waste sites, and four underground storage tanks. Noise levels that exceed federal standards would be experienced at 137 residential locations and seven community facilities.

Preparation date: November 19, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CHICAGOLAND UNDERFLOW PLAN, MCCOOK RESERVOIR, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36405375; 7192 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a reservoir for the temporary retention of floodwaters from the combined sewer areas of metropolitan Chicago, located in northern Illinois, is proposed. The combined sewer system conveys both sanitary sewage and stormwater runoff from Chicago and 36 communities to the north and west of the city. During periods of heavy rains, flood damages are aggravated by the back-up of sewers into basements and the seepage of water through basement floors and walls. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and two reservoir alternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve converting the Main Lobe of the McCook Quarry, a 250-acre limestone quarry owned by Vulcan Materials Company, into a flood control reservoir with a storage capacity of 10.5 billion gallons (32,100 acre-feet). Major construction features would include tunnels, hydraulic features, gates, valves, pumps, groundwater protection, aeration and washdown systems, grading, and landscaping. The operation of the reservoir would involve allowing water to flow from the existing tunnel and reservoir plan tunnel system to the reservoir. The existing 33-foot diameter tunnel terminates at the Hodgkins pump plant and would be extended to the reservoir site. After a flood event, water would be pumped from the reservoir to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's water reclamation plant for normal processing. Water in the reservoir would be aerated to minimize odors. The reservoir walls and floor would be washed down to remove sediments. A groundwater control system would prevent migration of reservoir water into the surrounding aquifer. The estimated cost of the authorized alternative is $312.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce sewer back-up flooding affecting over 137,000 structures annually, improve water quality and recreational opportunities in Lake Michigan and area watercourses, increase the availability of Lake Michigan water supplies, and reduce seepage flooding, pumping, and dredging costs, transportation delays, and backflows into Lake Michigan. The storage of water in the reservoirs would result in reduced flows and velocities in area watercourses during storm events. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The authorized alternative would require the acquisition of 251 acres to be dedicated to the project. The tunnel excavation would require the removal and disposal of up to 3 million tons of tailings and waste rock.

Preparation date: November 13, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVED HIGHWAY ACCESS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OF WESTERN JOHNSTON AND CRANSTON, PROVIDENCE COUNTY, RHODE ISLAND. AN - 16349099; 7186 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and reconstruction of highway sections in order to provide access to the 1,150-acre Environmental Management District of Western Johnston and Cranston, located in northern Rhode Island, are proposed. The district has been chosen for the propagation of the resource recovery industry. Currently, the district experiences in excess of 800 one-way heavy truck trips per day. Employment projections predict 3,600 new jobs in the district by the proposed actions design year of 2020. Currently, the three largest employers are the Rhode Island Central Landfill, Rhode Island Materials Recovery Facility, and the Green Hill Farms Facility; the latter is a private landfill. Currently, the principal access to the district is via Interstate 295 (I-295) interchange at Plainfield Pike and via Plainfield Pike to Green Hill Road, Shun Pike, and Scituate Avenue. Plainfield Pike is a commercial arterial roadway constituting a major east-west connection in central Rhode Island. The roadway is considered by community planners to be a major focal point for future employment generation for Johnston and Cranston. Currently, businesses in the district generate a high daily volume of heavy truck traffic which adversely affects the operation and development potential of Plainfield Pike; traffic volumes are expected to rise sharply in the future. The deficiencies on the existing roadway will be exacerbated by increases in traffic. Major issues addressed include future impacts to traffic flow on Rhode Island Route 14, the maintenance of operational safety on Interstate 295, air quality impacts, and wetland impacts. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3, the I-195/Scituate Avenue Interchange Alternative) would consist of the construction of northbound on- and off-ramps on I-295 and I-295 southbound on- and off-ramps, the reconstruction of 0.9 miles of Scituate Avenue and Shun Pike, the disconnecting of Old Pocasset Road by constructing two cul-de-sacs, and the disconnecting of Scituate Avenue east of I-295 by constructing two cul-de-sacs. Alternative 3 would require the preparation of a request for new access from the Federal Highway Administration for access to I-295. The Comstock Parkway Extension Alternative (Alternative 2) would consist of the upgrading of Plainfield Pike from I-295 to Comstock Parkway (2,920 feet), the construction of 1.2 miles of roadway from the intersection of Plainfield Pike and Comstock Parkway northward to Shun Pike, the reconstruction of 0.9 mile of Shun Pike and Scituate Avenue, and the reconstruction of the causeway between Simmons Upper and Lower Reservoirs. The estimated cost of Alternative 3 is $10.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the either action alternative would enhance safety for users of I-295, prevent continued deterioration of local streets and maximize opportunities for local and regional plans. The region is classified as a non-attainment area for ozone. Alternative 2 or Alternative 3 would decrease ozone precursor emissions, with Alternative 3 providing the greatest reduction. The action alternatives would include closed drainage structures, improving water quality in receiving streams. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the right-of-way development would partially displace 13 parcels and completely displace four parcels, resulting in the displacement of three single-family residences and five businesses. The highway development would result in the disturbance of historic and archaeological sites. Two hazardous wastes sites could be encountered. I-295 and Plainfield Pike between Green Road and I-295 would not meet capacity needs by the design year of 2020. Traffic noise would increase somewhat in certain areas.

AN - 16348332; 7188 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 65-mile section of US 31 from Interstate 196 (I-196) in Allegan County through Ottawa County to I-96 in Muskegon County, located in western Michigan, is proposed. US 31 is a principal arterial in the National Highway System serving north-south traffic along the Lake Michigan shoreline, providing access to more than 15 state parks as well as hundreds of tourist-oriented businesses and other recreational opportunities. Within the study area, US 31 serves the communities of Holland, Zeeland, West Olive, Grand Haven, Ferrysburg, Spring Lake, Norton Shores, and Fruitport. Accident rates for the various urban segments of US 31 are more than double the average rates for comparable facilities in the region. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and two transportation system management (TSM) alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives include five freeway alternatives, two controlled-access boulevard alternatives, and one uncontrolled-access boulevard alternative. Each build alternative would involve a bridge crossing of the Grand River, a navigable waterway, as well as other major stream crossings, one or two new railroad crossings, and two to 25 new roadway grade separation structures. The estimated costs of the TSM alternatives range from $8.7 million to $190.8 million. The estimated costs of the build alternatives and the No Action Alternative are $434.1 million to $587.5 million and $56.8 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to relieving congestion and addressing safety problems on the existing route, the project would contribute significantly to the expanding economy of Ottawa County, which is one of the fastest growing county economies in the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative considered, the rights-of-way requirements would displace 19 to 127 farm parcels, 2.96 to 190.5 acres of prime farmland, up to 70.8 acres of unique farmland, 133 to 215 commercial establishments, 183 to 205 residential units, 18 to 33 public service units, and 47.6 to 90 acres of wetland. One TSM alternative would displace three commercial establishments and three acres of wetland. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at 113 to 346 receptors for all alternatives. The project would adversely affect one to three sites having historic significance and up to 13 sites having archaeological significance. Three alternatives would adversely affect natural areas. From 21 to 26 sites containing hazardous wastes could be encountered by the build alternatives, and one TSM alternative would result in encroachment on three contaminated sites. Wetland mitigation would cost approximately $0.2 to $8.3 million.

Preparation date: November 12, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MAPLE RIVER DAM AND RESERVOIR, CASS COUNTY JOINT WATER RESOURCE DISTRICT, CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA. AN - 36417437; 7180 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of one or two earthen dams within the Maple River basin in order to provide flood control for agricultural land and urban development, located in eastern North Dakota, is proposed. Flooding from the Maple River, which is a tributary of the Cheyenne River and drains approximately 1,600 square miles of eastern North Dakota, is a nearly annual event associated with summer rainfall and spring snowmelt, and combinations of rainfall and snowmelt. As much as 21,000 acres of farmland in the plains region of the river have been inundated. Flooding also affects the urban areas of Mapleton, West Fargo, and Harwood. Annual flood damages are estimated to be in excess of $418,000. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the applicant's proposal (Plan 7), a dam would be constructed approximately seven miles east and four miles north of Enderlin. The zoned earth embankment would be 68 feet high and 1,850 feet long, and have a top width of 25 feet. In addition to the embankment, the dam would also include a principal spillway designed to pass daily flows and minor flood events (up to the 50-year flood), and a two-stage emergency spillway. The emergency spillway would be comprised of a concrete chute spillway and a 1,300-foot vegetated earth spillway. The emergency spillway would be designed to pass a flood resulting from the probable maximum precipitation event. The dam would be within a medium hazard category, which is appropriate for predominantly rural areas. The other action alternative (Plan 8) would consist of a main stem dam and a dam on an unnamed tributary, both of which would lie upstream of Enderlin, affecting the hazard class and design criteria for each dam. Specific reservoir outlet design details and operating plans have not be developed for Plan 8. Regardless of the plan selected, dry-reservoir operations would be implemented. Management plans would be included in order to protect existing stream habitat and reduce the potential for short-term water quality degradation, to insure establishment and maintenance of vegetation within the drawdown zones, to mitigate wetland displacement, and to mitigate cultural resources damages. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the dam or dams would reduce flood stages and duration and the area inundated within the floodplain. Plan 7 and Plan 8 would protect 7,750 acres and 1,450 acres, respectively, during the 100-year event. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan 7 would displace 98.5 acres of grassland, 241.6 acres of woodland, 208.5 acres of cropland, and 45.2 acres of wetland. Plan 8 would displace 223 acres of grassland, 40 acres of woodland, 4.9 acres of cropland, and 64.5 acres of wetland. The operation of the dam would increase turbidity and methylmercury uptake and lower dissolved oxygen levels. The potential for streambank erosion and channel degradation would increase, and sediment deposition in the reservoir would amount to 2.05 to 2.14 acre-feet per year. The downstream degradation of water quality would degrade aquatic ecology. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36415173; 7176 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Missouri National Recreational River, located in southeastern South Dakota and northeastern Nebraska, is proposed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would implement a resource protection and recreation regime emphasizing the protection and enhancement of biologic value and the history and culture of the area. Alternative 3 would provide for increased recreational emphasis on the river. Recreational river boundaries would change somewhat under Alternative 2 or Alternative 3. Under the preferred alternative, the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the National Park Service (NPS) would 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 the improvement of public understanding of the area through interest group involvement. The rural quality of the area would be maintained, intrusive development would be restricted, and the maintenance of the landscape through local government and private means would be encouraged. Easements, zoning, and tax incentives would be used. The 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 the 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. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management scheme would support an increased in recreational visitation, which would boost the local economy somewhat. Fish, wildlife, and vegetation habitat would benefit in the long-term, and prime and unique farmland would be retained. Cultural resources would most likely benefit from enhanced protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: If funding for additional staffing did not become available, cultural resources could be adversely affected due to lack of protection.

Preparation date: November 4, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST HIGHLAND DRIVE, 9400 SOUTH TO I-15, SANDY CITY, DRAPER CITY, AND SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36391509; 7177 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an 8.76-mile extension of 2000 East/Highland Drive from 9400 South to Interstate 15 (I-15), located in northern Utah, is proposed. The project would connect the existing portions of 2000 East/Highland Drive in the cities of Sandy and Draper and provide a connecting link between I-215 and I-15. The extension is needed to provide a safe and direct north-south arterial route along 2000 East/Highland Drive through Sandy and Draper, connecting both I-215 and I-15. Twelve alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4A, sub-alignment 4-6) would consist of an urban principal arterial highway from 2000 East/Highland Drive to 14600 South along the Draper Highland Drive alignment with a connection to the Bangerter Highway Interchange (13550 South). The alignment would follow the corridor preserved in Sandy, cross the Hidden Valley Country Club and split off from Draper Highland Drive, skirting around the western edge of Wheaton Conservation Easement, clipping the southwest corner of the easement before swinging west to connect to the Bangerter Highway Interchange. Also under consideration are a transportation system management plan, a mass transit alternative, and ten other highway build alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connection would help relieve existing congestion in Draper and Sandy and meet future transportation needs in the area. Emergency vehicle response times would generally improve, and local and express bus service planned for the corridor would be supported. North-south pedestrian movements in the area would benefit from provision of sidewalks and a multi-use trail along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would displace 13 to 20 residences, 2.6 acres of dedicated open space, 15.2 acres of farmland, including 11.2 aces or prime farmland and farmland of statewide importance. They would also adversely affect existing parks and recreational facilities (Alta Canyon Park and Recreation Center, Brandon Park, Dimple Bell Regional Park, Hidden Valley Country Club, and the Andy Ballard Equestrian Center). Four historic sites would be adversely affected. The highway would act as a barrier to east-west pedestrian movements, and school children could be required to cross the facility. Cut slopes, fill embankments, vegetation removal, and highway facilities would mar visual aesthetics in the area, and noise from highway operations would adversely affect 552 residences as well as park and recreational facilities.

AN - 36415001; 7248 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements to Jacksonville Harbor, located in northeastern Florida, is proposed. Due to inadequate channel depths, some larger ships must await favorable tidal conditions, while other ships can use the harbor only if they are light-loaded. Some consideration was given to dredging along 21 miles extending from the mouth of the Saint Johns River at Mayport upriver to the vicinity of the Mathews Bridge. The dredging depth would range from 39 to 45 feet. An economic analysis of the 23 miles of channel resulted in justification for deepening about 15 miles of main channel and two miles of West Blount Island Channel to a depth of 40 feet. Eleven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred plan (Plan A3) would result in dredging (without blasting) of these 14.7 miles of main channel to a depth of 40 feet and the two miles of the West Blount Island Channel to a depth of 38 feet. The dredged material would be disposed by a number of methods. The rock material dredged from the main channel to about mile 15 would be placed offshore as artificial reef material. The material from the West Blount Island channel would be placed on an existing upland disposal site on the east end of Bartram after raising the dikes at the site. Several advanced maintenance zones would be excavated from within the existing channel and an existing shoal adjacent to the channel, at the eastern inlet to Mill Cove, would be removed to provide an advance maintenance feature. The material dredged from the shoal and nearby advance maintenance zones would be placed in the existing Buck Island disposal site. The material dredged from the advanced maintenance zones in the vicinity of the west Bartram Island would be placed in the site after raising the dikes. The material from the advanced maintenance zones within four miles of the harbor entrance would be placed on the beach or nearshore south of the entrance. The ocean dredged material disposal site would be used only if the aforementioned methods are not acceptable. The estimated first cost of the preferred plan is $14.3 million; the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.73. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepening of the harbor channels would enhance safety and efficiency and lower costs associated with harbor operations, while protecting environmental values. The annual benefits redounding from the project would amount to $2.16 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some species of relatively nonmotile infaunal invertebrates inhabiting the dredged areas would be lost during dredging operations. The dredging would also result in short-term turbidity in the water column during project implementation.

AN - 36404710; 7173 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures for the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, located in southeastern Maryland, is proposed. The project components would address problems caused by the disruption of sediment movement in the vicinity of Assateague Island and insufficient depth for deeper draft boats using the harbor. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The navigation improvements of the Ocean City Harbor and Inlet would consist of the deepening of the harbor channel from 10 feet to 14 feet and the deepening of the inlet channel from 10 feet to 16 feet. The dredging would require the removal of 88,000 cubic yards (cy) of material from the harbor and 46,000 cy of material from the inlet. The continuing sediment deprivation of Assateague Island would be remedied by the mobile bypassing of sand, involving the use of a shallow mobile hopper dredge to remove sand that has been redirected to a number of sites and then bypassing it to the island. The recommended environmental restoration plan would include the restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, the stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, the construction of a three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and the creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. The estimated cost of the navigation improvements, which would have an economic life of 50 years, is $5.7 million. The estimated cost of the long-term sand management project, which would have an economic life of 25 years, is $25.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. The channel improvements would allow for the safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. The stabilization of South Point would protect habitat for the brown pelican colony nesting there and the additional areas would create and stabilize habitat for colonial waterbirds such as the least tern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and deposition of dredged material to create islands would destroy benthic organisms and habitat.

AN - 15232672; 7166 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a levee and floodwall system to provide protection against flooding on the Red River of the North and Red Lake River, located at East Grand Forks, Minnesota, and Grand Forks, North Dakota, is proposed. The two cities are located at the confluence of the Red River of the North and Red Lake River approximately 298 miles above the river's mouth at Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Both cities have a long history of significant flooding from the two rivers. In April 1997, disastrous flooding caused over $800 million in damages. An additional $240 million was spent for emergency relief. Two alternatives are considered in detail in this final EIS. The recommended plan (the National Economic Development Plan) would consist of a permanent levee and floodwall system designed to contain the 210-year flood event; this equates to an 86-percent reliability of containing the 0.47-percent exceedance frequency flood event and would reliably protect the cities against a flood of the magnitude of the 1997 event. The plan would include recreational features, removal of an existing pedestrian bridge, and channel diversion features on English and Hartsville coulees. Erosion protection would be placed at several locations. A substantial portion of the area outside the line of protection would be allowed to revert to natural conditions, resulting in the formation of a riparian corridor, or greenway, covering approximately 2,000 acres. The estimated total fully-funded cost of the recommended multipurpose project is $350.4 million. The federal share of these costs would be $176.1 million, and the non-federal share would be $174.3 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.10. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The flood control system would allow for future growth in the two communities and improve public safety by providing flood reduction and removing protected areas from the regulatory floodplain. The plan would also enhance recreational opportunities and the biological diversity within open space created as part of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the displacement of over 250 single-family residential structures, 95 apartment or condominium units, 16 businesses, and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat along the levee and floodwall alignment. Some structures to be adversely affected by the project have historic significance, including structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Approximately 220 to 240 acres of upland would be required to provide borrow material for the levee. Some parkland would require reconfiguration, and the levees would constitute a dominant feature on the predominantly flat landscape.

AN - 36408445; 7162 AB - PURPOSE: The renewal of the withdrawal of land supporting the military mission of the U.S. Army with respect to the McGregor Range at Fort Bliss, located in southern New Mexico, is proposed. 609,935-acre McGregor Range has supported the mission of Fort Bliss since the 1940s. The range encompasses 609,385 acres of public domain lands, 71,083 acres held in fee ownership by the Army, and 1,010 acres of previously state-owned lands transferred to the Bureau of Land Management after 1986. The range also includes 18,004 acres of U.S. Forest Service lands used by the Army in accordance with a memorandum of understanding between the Forest Service and the Army. In 1986, public lands, comprising McGregor Range were withdrawn from the public domain for a period of 15 years. This withdrawal expires November 6, 2001. The range is used primarily for training in intercepting and destroying missiles and aircraft in flight. Systems used at the range include the Patriot missile system, Avenger, Stinger, Bradley, Linebacker, and other advanced weapons systems. The Army's application for renewal of the McGregor Range withdrawal for military use would extend the withdrawal through the year 2051. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 5), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the Army's proposed action (Alternative 1), the boundaries of the range would be coterminous with those of the 1986 withdrawal. Under Alternative 2, only the Tularosa Basin and Otero Mesa portions of the range, encompassing 569,395 acres, would be withdrawn for continued military use, while the Sacramento Mountains foothills portion of the range, including the Culp Canyon Wilderness Study Area, would return to the public domain. Under Alternative 3, only the 429,395-acre Tularosa Basin portion of the range would be withdrawn, while the Otero Mesa and Sacramento Mountains foothills would be returned to the public domain. Under Alternative 4, only the 365,395-acre portion of the Tularosa Basin south of New Mexico Highway 506 would be withdrawn. Under Alternative 6, the Congress would establish a national conservation area on Otero Mesa and designate Culp Canyon as a wilderness area; Otero Mesa and the Sacramento Mountains foothills portion of the range would be returned to the public domain. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The renewal of the land withdrawal would provide sufficient space to conduct real-world military training, maintaining quality military and operational readiness standards, supporting military education and training programs, and allowing joint Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine training exercises. The procurement activities at the fort would continue to support the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Civil aircraft would continue to be prohibited from traversing portions of the range with the restricted area was activated. Missile firings and use of off-road vehicles during training operations would disturb soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat as well as cultural resource sites. Noise and visual intrusions associated with military operations would continue. Increases in the use of hazardous materials and items of special concern could result from ongoing and future military uses as well as nonmilitary activities that occur on the withdrawn lands.

The Department of the Army's Corps of Engineers (Corps) HHD Project was originally authorized as the Eagle Gorge Dam and Reservoir by the Flood Control Act of 1950. The construction of the dam was completed in 1962. The HHD is a subsidiary earth-filled structure composed of rock fill, sand and gravel core, drain zones, and rock shell protection. The embankment is 235 feet high and 500 feet long and has an inclined core of sand and gravel material. The dam is 960 feet thick at the base decreasing to 23 feet thick at the crest. The total length of the dam is 675 feet. The intake structure also includes trash rack bars, a deck for debris removal, one tractor type emergency gate, and gate hoist equipment located in the gate tower. There are four buildings on the project site, and gravel-surfaced roads provide access to the dam, stilling basin, intake structures, and the reservoir. The primary authorized use of the project is flood control. Three secondary uses are also authorized, such as the augmentation of summer low flows in the Green River, irrigation, and water supply. For flood control, the facility provides a 106,000 acre-feet (maximum) reserve volume behind the dam to store watershed runoff. This space is reserved for the storage of water during the peak flooding seasons. Water is released in a regulated flow that ensures downstream stability. The current reservoir refill and conservation strategy was developed as a result of drought conditions in 1992 and has been continued because of its success. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action (Plan 4) would involve the restoration of fish passage through the HHD so that harvestable runs of salmon and steelhead would be returned to the Green River. Other ecosystem restoration features would include the management of riparian forests, the planting of water-tolerant vegetation, and gravel nourishment of fish passages. In addition, 22,400 acre-feet of water would be stored in the reservoir for municipal and industrial uses within the Puget Sound area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the storage of the reservoir would help to meet the water supply needs of the Puget Sound Area, while the ecosystem restoration measures would help restore anadromous fish to the Green River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir expansion would inundate 281 acres in Phase I and 161 acres in Phase II; the displaced acreage would include seven acres of forested wetlands.

AN - 16351629; 7152 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of beach nourishment and ecosystem restoration for the Lower Cape May and Cape May Point area, located in southern New Jersey, is proposed. The project area is an internationally significant coastal wetland situated along the Atlantic flyway, and includes Cape May State Park and the Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge. The area provides a vital resting place for shorebirds, birds of prey, and songbirds during their seasonal migration while also providing habitat for residential birds. The federal navigation project at Cape May Inlet, completed in 1911, has caused severe erosion along the shoreline, resulting in a direct loss of beach and wetland habitat and a degradation of water quality from saltwater intrusion. Since 1992, the dunes protecting the wetlands have been breached six times. The saltwater intrusions have threatened native plant and animal species and encouraged the proliferation of nuisance plant species. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the construction of a protective dune with berm width of 20 feet, at an elevation of eight feet above the National Geodetic Veridical Datum, extending from the 3rd Avenue terminal groin in Cape May City to the Central Avenue groin in Cape May Point. The total length of the fill would be 1.9 miles. The fill would require approximately 1.7 million cubic yards (cy) of sand initially and 650,000 cy every four years. In addition, the plan would restore 35 acres of previously eroded wetlands, eliminate 95 acres of unwanted vegetation through herbicidal spraying and burning, plant 105 acres of wetland vegetation, restore freshwater flow within existing drainage ditches, create new drainage ditches to link hydrological systems within the project area, install two weir flow control structures, create six fish reservoirs within existing ponds, and create a shallow earthen water-retaining structure and install a self-regulating tide gate at Cape Island Creek to allow for 25 acres of tidal marsh. The estimated initial cost of the project is $15.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects, improve management of federal shore protection projects, provide effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability as a wetlands habitat, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The offshore dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and displace a food source for some finfish and displace potential sea turtle and piping plover habitat.

AN - 16353760; 7151 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of beach nourishment measures in order to address shoreline erosion and storm damage in the community of Sunny Isles, located in southeastern Florida, is proposed. Beach fill placed along the 2.5-mile northern portion of Sunny Isles rapidly erodes because of spreading (end) losses. Following each previous beach fill placement, a large discontinuity in berm width existed at the Sunny Isles and Golden Beach city limits. Material from the Sunny Isles shorelines diffused rapidly northward into Golden Beach, which is offset 150 feet further landward immediately after beach fill placement. In addition, development along the northern portion of Sunny Isles encroached farther seaward than anywhere else in the region. The erosion control line is located an additional 20 to 30 feet seaward of the seawall; as a result, beach fill is displaced further offshore. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan would include beach nourishment, the construction of a transition fill, and the construction of a geotextile breakwater. The plan would involve constructing a 120-foot-wide berm, a segmented offshore breakwater using geotextile tubes, and a 1,500-foot breach fill transition into Golden Beach. A total volume of approximately 988,000 cubic yards of material would be required in order to construct the beach fill and transition, and in order to fill the geotextile breakwater tubes. The source of this material would be borrow areas located south of Government Cut and east of Key Biscayne. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects, improve management of federal shore protection projects, provide effective protection for the economy, enhance the appearance of the project area and its suitability for beach recreation and sea turtle nesting, and reduce expected storm-induced damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered species as manatees and sea turtles. In addition, hardground benthic organisms would be adversely affected by the placement of pipelines across the nearshore reef.

AN - 16346560; 7149 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Illinois 267 (IL-267) to a four-lane expressway from Godfrey to Jacksonville, located in western Illinois, is proposed. The 56-mile expressway, which would be designated as Federal Aid Primary Route 310 and marked as US 67, would extend from the intersection of IL-267 and US 67/IL-111 north of Godfrey in Madison County northward to the US 36/I-72 interchange southwest of Jacksonville in Morgan County. It would provide system linkage between the Alton Bypass, US 36/I-72, and the Jacksonville West Bypass, all of which are four-lane freeway or expressway facilities. In addition to improving access to communities along the proposed route, the expressway would improve access to the Saint Louis metropolitan area. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The alignments for both build alternatives would be the same from Godfrey to Manchester and include an alignment with the New Delhi bypass, the Jerseyville east bypass, an alignment along IL-267, the Carollton west bypass, an alignment along IL-267, the White Hall-Roodhouse east bypass, an alignment along IL-267, and the Manchester west bypass. Alternative 1 (the preferred alternative) would follow the eastern alignment north from Manchester to the existing interchange on US 36/I-72. Alternative 2 would follow the western alignment north of Manchester, following the Scott-Morgan County line north, then curving to intercept the existing US 36 /I-72 interchange. The estimated costs for the project are $265 million for Alternative 1 and $268 million for Alternative 2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expressway would support economic growth and development within the region, enhance existing system linkages, provide improved rural access, enhance travel efficiency, and improve traffic safety. It would result in reduced travel time and distances, energy savings, and reduced emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 63 residences, 20 businesses, 6.6 acres of wetlands, 204.4 acres of forest, 0.2 acres of forbland, 29.4 acres of shrubland, 91.7 acres of grassland, and 1,696.8 acres of productive farmland within 210 farms. Traffic-generated noise would adversely affect 243 receptor sites along the project corridor.

Preparation date: October 16, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVER FEDERAL NAVIGATION CHANNEL DEEPENING, OREGON AND WASHINGTON. AN - 36407637; 7145 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements to the authorized Columbia River and lower Willamette River navigation channel, located in Oregon and Washington, is proposed. The study area includes 11.6 miles of the Willamette River below Portland, Oregon, extending from the Broadway Bridge at river mile 11.6 to the mouth of the river, and 103.5 miles of the Columbia River below Vancouver, Washington, extending from Interstate 5 at river mile 106.5 to the mouth of the river at river mile 3.0. The project would be undertaken to improve the deep-draft transportation of goods on the navigation channel (limited to a maximum depth of 43 feet) and to provide ecosystem restoration for fish and wildlife habitats. The need for navigation improvements has been driven by the steady growth in waterborne commerce and the use of larger and more efficient vessels to transport bulk commodities. With the increased use of deep-draft vessels, limitations posed by the existing channel dimensions now occur with greater frequency than in the past. Three structural alternatives, as well as the No Action Alternative and a non-structural alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The three structural alternatives would include the deepening of the channel to 41, 42 or 43 feet, and the dredging of 5.6, 11.5, or 19.1 million cubic yards (cy), respectively. The deepening of the channel to 43 feet would also require the removal of 220,000 cy of basalt rock and 450,000 cy of gravel and boulders from six areas in the Columbia River and two in the Willamette River. The in-water, upland, and ocean disposal requirements would differ according to the structural alternative considered. The draft EIS also includes documentation in support of the designation by the Environmental Protection Agency of new ocean disposal sites for the maintenance of the Mouth of the Columbia River project, the maintenance of the existing navigation channel, and the implementation and maintenance of proposed channel improvement. The deepening the channel to 43 feet has been selected as the preferred alternative. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $180.9 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.29. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expansion of the capacity of the channel system would provide for safer, more efficient transportation of goods within the system, enhancing the local and regional economies. The ecosystem measures would enhance fish and wildlife habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging activities would disturb benthic habitat and release sediment into the water column. The deepening of the channel would lead to very slight increases in estuarine salinity under low river flow conditions. The upland disposal would displace vegetation and otherwise degrade wildlife habitat, including habitat of a federally-listed endangered species, the Columbian white-tailed deer. The dredging would also adversely affect six listed salmonid species and six salmonid species proposed for listing. The dredging and disposal activities would also result in minor impacts to aesthetics, recreation, and land uses, including agricultural uses.

Preparation date: October 14, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW STUDY, FLORIDA. AN - 16353721; 7143 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water resources management plan for central and southern Florida is proposed. The Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Project, first authorized in 1948, is a multipurpose project that provides flood control, saltwater intrusion control, water supply for the Everglades National Park, protection of fish and wildlife habitat, and water supply for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses. The study area encompasses approximately 18,000 square miles extending from Orlando to Florida Bay. The present study reexamines the C&SF Project to determine the feasibility of modifying the project to restore the south Florida ecosystem and to provide for other water-related needs of the region. Specifically, the study investigates structural and/or operational modifications to the project to improve the quality of the environment, protection of the aquifer, integrity and conservation of water supplies, and other water-related purposes. Problems believed to be caused by the C&SF Project include extreme fluctuations in water levels in Lake Okeechobee and in freshwater discharges to the Caloosahatchee and Saint Lucie estuaries resulting in detrimental salinity levels and physical alteration of fish and wildlife habitat, detrimental conditions in freshwater wetland habitats of the Everglades, and unsuitable flows to Florida Bay and Biscayne Bay and Lake Worth Lagoon that adversely affect salinity levels and physically alter fish and wildlife habitat. The currently recommended comprehensive plan would provide for approximately 60 structural and operation features. A principal feature of the plan would consist of the creating of approximately 215,000 acres of new reservoirs and wetland-based water treatment areas. The water storage reservoirs would be developed north of Lake Okeechobee, in the Caloosahatchee and Saint Lucie basins, in the Everglades Agricultural Area, and in the water preserve areas of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. These reservoirs would store approximately 1.5 million acre-feet of water. In addition, the project would create water preserve areas, manage Lake Okeechobee as an ecological resource, provide for storage of excess stormwater that would otherwise be discharged immediately to the Caloosahatchee River and Saint Lucie River, create wells to store water in the upper Floridan aquifer, crate 30,000 acres of artificial wetlands, modify water deliveries to the Everglades, remove canals and levees that constitute barriers to sheetflow, convert two limestone quarries in northern Miami-Dade County to supply Florida Bay as well as the Everglades and Miami-Dade County residents with water, construct and operate two advanced wastewater treatment plants in Miami-Dade County to improve wastewater discharge to wetlands along Biscayne Bay and the Biscayne Aquifer, and improve water deliveries to Shark River Slough, Taylor Slough, and wetlands to the east of the Everglades National Park and, thence, to Florida Bay. The estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $7.8 billion; the estimated annual operating costs, including monitoring costs, are $175 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project features would vastly increase dynamic storage and water supply for natural system, urban, and agricultural needs, while maintaining current C&SF Project purposes. The plan would achieve, with few exceptions, the restoration of more natural flows, including sheet flow, improved water quality, and natural hydroperiod targets. Improvements to native flora and fauna, including threatened and endangered species, would be expected to result from the restoration of hydrologic conditions that maintain native plant communities and the associated habitat functions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoirs and other structural features would displace tens of thousands of acres of land, primarily agricultural land and undeveloped land. The project activities and structures would adversely affect some recreational uses of the project area and, in some cases, alter visual aesthetics. Hazardous waste sites, primarily landfills, could be adversely affected by project activities.

AN - 16348981; 7147 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements to relieve congestion and functional deficiencies along Routes 9 and 100 in the towns of Wilmington and Dover, located in southeastern Vermont, is proposed. Route 9 provides east-west connections across southern Vermont, while Route 100 constitutes the only north-south arterial route through the region. The study area extends 5.7 miles along Route 9 from approximately the Wilmington/Marlboro townline west through the Wilmington Village center to the Wilmington/Searsburn townline. Route 100 from the Wilmington Village center north to Mount Snow in West Dover, a distance of 10.5 miles, is included in the study area as it also experiences congestion and exhibits safety problems. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. In addition to the transportation demand management/transportation system management alternative, action alternatives include an upgrade alternative involving the modification of Route 9 and Route 100 in order to eliminate structural deficiencies and increase capacity, and six reconstruction alternatives, each of which would involve the reconstruction and/or construction of roadways on relocated alignments. Two alternatives could incorporate a tunnel to replace the open cut at Lisle Hill Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would address structural and capacity problems affecting the current roadways. The reduced congestion resulting from implementation of certain alternatives would improve air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Noise levels would exceed federal standards at up to 22 locations. The relocation alternatives would displace up to two structures, 5.8 to 18.7 acres of farmland, 0.07 to 0.79 acres of wetlands, and 8.08 to 39.69 acres of vegetation. The relocation alternatives would also encroach upon 0.37 to 2.47 acres of floodplain, encounter up to three hazardous materials sites, and adversely affect two to 13 structures potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. One well and up to seven water source protection areas could be adversely affected. New or widened bridges would cross up to 22 surface water flows.

Preparation date: October 14, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR THE PLACEMENT OF DREDGED MATERIAL IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36412133; 7140 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term plan for the dredging and disposal of material from the federal navigation channel and associated navigation facilities throughout the San Francisco Bay area, located in northern California, is proposed. The dredging is necessary because modern, deep-draft ships often draw 35 to 40 feet of water or more, and the margins of the bay system average less than 20 feet deep. Every year roughly six million cubic yards (mcy) of sediments are dredged from the area and disposed at three designated sites in the Bay: the Carquinez Strait, San Pablo Bay, and Alcatraz Island. The Alcatraz site, the most heavily used of the three, will eventually reach capacity because large underwater mounds are beginning to develop at the site. In addition, heavy use of the bay disposal sites is a potential threat to the health of fisheries and other ecological resources found in the bay. Only a small percentage of the dredged material is disposed of at the new offshore ocean site or used for wetlands restoration or a similar beneficial reuse. This final programmatic EIS is intended to provide a more balanced distribution of disposal methods. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are under consideration. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would involve the depositing of 20 percent of dredged materials in the bay, 40 percent in the ocean, and 40 percent in low upland and wetland areas. Alternative 1 would involve the depositing of 40 percent of dredged materials in the bay, 40 percent in the ocean, and 20 percent in low upland and wetland areas. Alternative 2 would involve the depositing of 40 percent of dredged materials in the bay, 20 percent in the ocean, and 40 percent in low upland and wetland areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of any of the action alternatives would reduce the amount of in-bay disposal, thereby benefiting water quality and fisheries habitat. In addition, each of these alternatives would contribute to the restoration of tidal wetlands along the margins of the bay. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The conversion of diked baylands sites to tidal marsh areas would result in the loss of habitat for local and migratory shorebirds and waterfowl. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal site.

AN - 16357954; 7139 AB - PURPOSE: The maintenance dredging and the construction of a confined disposal facility (CDF) for sediments and other materials dredged from the Indiana Harbor and Canal, located in northwestern Indiana, is proposed. Based on numerous physical and chemical tests of Indiana Harbor and Canal sediments, it has been determined that the sediment are unsuitable for open-lake disposal or beneficial uses. A portion of the sediments have been found to contain elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls and are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act. A CDF for the dredged material does not currently exist. Consequently, authorized channel depths are not being maintained. Due to the high level of siltation, portions of the harbor and canal are severely restricted for navigation by deep-draft vessels. In addition, the contaminated sediments are migrating out of the harbor and canal and settling into the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan. Three dredging alternatives and four CDF site alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The CDF would accommodate the backlog of accumulated sediment and future maintenance dredging, both within the federal navigation and along adjacent berthing areas and dockfaces. The project would involve the construction of a CDF at the site of a former oil refinery on a portion of the Energy Cooperative, Inc., property located in East Chicago, Indiana; the maintenance dredging of the channel to authorized depths; the disposal of dredged sediments at the CDF; and routine maintenance of all navigation structures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the more efficient use of the harbor and canal for safe commercial navigation, beneficial influences on the local economy, and a reduction in the net discharge of contaminated sediments from the waterway into Lake Michigan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging could cause the temporary uptake of contaminants in terrestrial communities; vegetation and wildlife would be exposed to potential contaminant uptake at the site of the CDF prior to capping. Volatile contaminants would be released in to the air from drying sediments at the CDF pond. LEGAL MANDATES: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).

Preparation date: October 9, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WATER ALLOCATION FOR THE APALOCHICOLA-CHATTAHOOCHEE-FLINT (ACF) RIVER BASIN, ALABAMA, FLORIDA, AND GEORGIA. AN - 16348715; 7120 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water allocation formula for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River basin in order to provide for an equitable sharing of water amongst the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, is proposed. The 12.3-million-acre ACF basin, which includes the Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces, includes 16 reservoirs on the mainstems of the major rivers. Under the ACF River Basin Compact, the three state commissioners must negotiate and agree on a proposed allocation formula and present the formula to the federal commissioner for concurrence before the allocation formula can be implemented. This programmatic EIS provides a framework for evaluating a range of flow and reservoir conditions selected to bracket the flow conditions that may result from the allocation formula. This EIS will, inter alia, serve as a baseline document for future implementing actions and meet the schedule for completion of agency and public review prior to a federal commissioner decision in late summer 1999. Alternative flow conditions in the high, moderate, and low range are compared to flow conditions for the No Action Alternative (representing existing operating conditions within the basin). Flow conditions were modeled by using historic flow data that represents 55 years of recorded stream flows. Hydrologic models and water demands used in the hydrologic models were developed as part of the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa and Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Comprehensive Study. Project conditions covered a planning period extending through the year 2050. Evaluations of potential impacts of the No Action Alternative and action alternative flow scenarios were based on studies completed during the Comprehensive Study and additional investigations completed by the Army Corps of Engineers and cooperating federal agencies. Under the No Action Alternative, river flows and reservoirs would be maintained similar to existing conditions, with reservoir drawdowns under dry conditions. As demands increase in the future, reservoir elevations would drop significantly, while river flows could be maintained close to flows that were present under 1995 demands. The greatest effect would occur in the summer and fall, when inflows are naturally lower. Under the low-flow alternative, flows would be substantially reduced compared with those under the No Action Alternative. Reservoir levels would be maintained near full pool, except under drought conditions. The moderate-flow alternative would produce river flows that are high in the winter, responding to reservoir seasonal drawdowns, and elevated in the summer as upstream reservoirs augment river flows during the dry summer months. The high-flow alternative would maintain river flows higher in the spring, summer, and fall. Each alternative would includes municipal and industrial scenarios and agricultural scenarios. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would provide appropriate allocation of ACF basin water for agricultural, industrial, and municipal users as well as for hydropower generation and navigation purposes. The action alternatives would reduce chlorophyll values, and lower summer phosphorus loadings NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reduction of stream releases could result in increased erosion and sediment deposit on some stream segments, severely reduce the availability of water to meet user needs, increase water temperatures and reduce dissolved oxygen levels, and increase the proportion of river flows consisting of wastewater. Low flows would also adversely affect fish and other aquatic species. Changes in reservoir water levels could adversely affect freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Threatened, endangered, and otherwise protected species, particularly those in the Flint River and Apalachicola River subbasins would be especially sensitive to fluctuations in water levels. Moderate- and high-flow alternatives would be somewhat less supportive of recreational uses of the basin than the low-flow alternative and the No Action Alternative. Water shortages would adversely affect municipalities in the headwaters of the basin to a greater extent than those in downstream areas. The erosion of river banks due to water level fluctuations could adversely affect cultural resource sites. The reduction or elimination of flood storage from reservoirs would increase downstream flood hazards substantially.

AN - 16348675; 7117 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the management plan for the Telluride Ski Area in the Uncompahgre National Forest, located in southwestern Colorado, is proposed. The ski area is located directly south of the town of Telluride, approximately 330 miles southwest of Denver. Since 1971, it has been operated through a special-use permit issued to the Telluride Company; the ski area encompasses approximately 3,761 acres of national forest land and 326 acres of private land. An administrative appeal was submitted against the July 1996 Record of Decision for the project. As a result of the appeal, the Appeal Deciding Officer directed the Forest Supervisor to disclose and specify additional information pertaining to socioeconomic impacts, best management practices, impacts to instream flows of the San Miguel River, and off-season life operation. Subsequently, a civil complaint was filed against the Forest Service, which consisted of four counts dealing with potential inadequacies in the final EIS, exclusion of exhibits in the Appeal Record, potential Forest Service bias, and possible violation of the Clean Air Act. On June 30, 1997, the forest supervisor withdrew the decision on the project pending further review and analysis. This draft supplemental EIS addresses the points raised by the Appeal Deciding Officer, the points raised in the civil complaint, and additional information that has become available since the release of the final EIS. Six alternatives, including the originally proposed action and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of February 1996. Under the Forest Service's preferred alternative, the management plan would generally resemble the applicant's proposal but minor modifications would be included in order to minimize social, physical, and environmental effects. Under this plan, six lift pods with associated runs, trails, and gladed areas would be constructed; lift number 6 and its trail and run system would be realigned along the upper terminal; four restaurants would be developed and an existing restaurant would be expanded; off-season recreational activities would be expanded in order to provide additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding and continued hang gliding access; and a lodge and series of small cabins would be developed in the Prospect Basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the implementation would provide new and improved ski facilities, increase the size and diversity of the existing resort, expand summer recreational opportunities, and enhance amenities of the overall area. The project would generate revenue and stimulate the local economy; the increase in off-season opportunities would help to stabilize the year-round population and incomes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of ski traverses and runs, and other construction activities, would adversely affect 663 acres of common vegetation; reduce cover for elk, mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion; and displace wetlands. The cleared or graded areas would be susceptible to soil movement, erosion, and geologic instability. The potential for avalanches would increase at some sites.

The greatest effect would occur in the summer and fall, when inflows are naturally lower. Under the low-flow alternative, flows would be substantially reduced compared with those under the No Action Alternative. The reservoir levels would be maintained near full pool, except under drought conditions. The moderate-flow alternative would produce river flows that are high in the winter, responding to reservoir seasonal drawdowns, and elevated in the summer as upstream reservoirs augment river flows during the dry summer months. The high-flow alternative would maintain river flows higher in the spring, summer, and fall. Each alternative includes municipal and industrial, as well as agricultural, scenarios. Follow-on documentation, in the form of tiered environmental assessments or EISs, may be necessary to document specific impacts of future implementing actions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan implementation would provide appropriate allocation of ACT basin water for agricultural, industrial, and municipal users as well as for hydropower generation and navigation purposes. The action alternatives would reduce chlorophyll values, and lower summer phosphorus loadings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reduction of stream releases could result in increased erosion and sediment deposit on some stream segments, severely reduce the availability of water to meet user needs, increase water temperatures and reduce dissolved oxygen levels, and increase the proportion of river flows consisting of wastewater. Low flows would also adversely affect fish and other aquatic species. Changes in reservoir water levels could adversely affect freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Threatened, endangered, and otherwise protected species, particularly in the Upper Coosa River and Tallapoosa River subbasins, would be especially sensitive to fluctuations in water levels. The moderate- and high-flow alternatives would be somewhat less supportive of recreational uses of the basin than the low-flow alternative and the No Action Alternative. Water shortages would adversely affect municipalities in the headwaters of the basin to a greater extent than those in downstream areas. The erosion of river banks due to water level fluctuations could adversely affect cultural resource sites. The reduction or elimination of flood storage from reservoirs would increase downstream flood hazards substantially.

The combined flow and transport model can handle a wide range of real-world problems, including the simulations of flow alone, contaminant transport alone, and combined flow and transport. The conventional finite-element methods and a hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian finite-element method were incorporated in the transport module. Saltwater intrusion problems and instability caused by denser water on the top were investigated in this paper. Because the fundamental mechanism causing saltwater intrusion most likely is caused by density-induced convection and dispersion, the developed model was used to assess the interplay between density-driven flow and the subsurface media through which the saltwater intrusion occurs. The mathematical formulation of the model is comprised of fluid flow and solute transport equations, coupled by fluid density. In the specific case of saltwater intrusion and unstable brine transport problems, this set of governing equations is nonlinear and requires iterative methods to solve them simultaneously. Three case studies, which include a wide spectrum of physical conditions, show the verification and effectiveness of the model by comparing previously published solutions from other researchers with the simulation results of the present model. Two demonstrated problems examine the model capabilities to handle saltwater intrusion problems through unsaturated-saturated porous media and density-dependent flow and transport under unstable conditions.

Water quality in this region has been seriously impacted by nitrate (NO (sub 3) ) contamination with 42% of wells sampled exceeding the EPA public drinking water maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L as NO (sub 3) -N at some point during 1992-1993. High NO (sub 3) -N concentrations reported from this region suggest degradation of water quality due to anthropogenic activity. Dissolved ion concentrations, particularly NO (sub 3) , chloride and calcium varied radically in 55% of well waters sampled prior to, following, and months after an unusually wet winter. Our extensive well sampling program, chemical results and delineation of spatial and temporal NO (sub 3) -N variation allow us to constrain possible contamination sources and transport mechanisms active in the Sierra Pelona basin. The spatial distribution and temporal variability of NO (sub 3) indicate three patterns of contamination: (i) isolated wells impacted by numerous, localized NO (sub 3) sources which erratically affect a single well without significantly contaminating neighboring ones; (ii) a tight cluster of wells, unusually low in other ions but consistently high in NO (sub 3) ; (iii) moderate and generally consistent NO (sub 3) concentrations, found over a large, diffuse region of the Sierra Pelona alluvial aquifer. An understanding of the differing NO (sub 3) source(s) and contamination mode(s) that contribute to these observed contaminant patterns is critical to development and success of any strategy for contaminant mitigation and/or remediation.

The major source of surface water contamination is from untreated domestic and industrial waste disposal, as most effluent is released into the rivers and coastal areas without any treatment. Recently enacted legislation requires new industries to treat effluent discharged into the nation's waterways. The Rio Acelhuate, the primary drainage system for San Salvador, is severely contaminated with heavy metals and domestic and industrial waste. This water is considered a biohazard, and the contamination so severe that it is rendered untreatable by reverse osmosis. The Rio Lempa, the largest and most important river in El Salvador, originates in Guatemala and flows through Honduras into El Salvador. Hydrologic data is critically needed on the Rio Lempa. Many gage sites have been damaged or destroyed, but additional new sites are also needed. There are three manmade reservoirs for hydropower generation on this river in El Salvador, providing about 60 percent of the country's power. The health of the reservoirs is a major national concern, threatened not only by chemical and biological pollution, but also by the large amount of sedimentation created by deforestation which is accumulating in the reservoirs. The sedimentation volumes in the Cerron Grande Reservoir are dangerously high--estimated to be as high as 7 million cubic meters per year--gravely impacting the health of the reservoir not to mention the effects of the severely contaminated Rio Acelhuate which flows directly into the Cerron Grande. As a result of the polluted surface water, ground water is heavily relied upon for water supply. Sufficient supplies of fresh ground water are available throughout most of the country. The most abundant supplies are in the volcanic San Salvador Formation in the interior basin and on the lower slopes of most volcanoes. Important supplies are also available in the unconsolidated sediments of the coastal plain. Many shallow aquifers are, however, becoming contaminated from surface pollution, and deeper springs and wells are depended upon to provide potable water. Twenty-five agencies share responsibility for overseeing the water resources of El Salvador. There is currently no mechanism for organizing the coordination of their efforts, which creates duplication and inefficient use of resources. A National Water Resources Management and Policy is recommended to strengthen coordination and therefore the overall effectiveness of the programs of the various agencies. Comprehensive watershed or basin management plans are needed to address deforestation and water resources management. Basic technical training, such as the HEC-2 program for calculating water surface profiles, would also be of great benefit. In addition, long-term national construction programs of wastewater treatment plants to eliminate the continued discharge of waste into the nation's waters would help reduce the amount of chemical and biological wastes contaminating the rivers, reservoirs, and ground water. A large-scale ground water exploration program, starting in the areas having the best aquifers, would increase the amount of potable water available for water supply.

A typical array uses three pressure sensors arranged in a 1.8 m equilateral triangle. These arrays are attractive because of their low operation costs and long-term reliability. The short baseline is the same size required for a bottom mounted tripod such as used for the more familiar PUV shallow water directional wave gages. Like the PUV the short array can be considered a single point measurement. This avoids questions of spatial homogeneity associated with large arrays and remote sensing gages in shallow water. An important advantage of the pressure sensors is superior resistance to bio-fouling. Multi-year deployments without maintenance are possible for modern pressure sensors even in highly bioactive waters. The principles of operation, data analysis techniques, and design details are summarized from a users perspective. An example of data from an SBLA deployment in Yaquina, OR shows a storm which measured H sub(mo) of 8 m in 17-m water depth.

TRUMAN PARKWAY, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1997). AN - 36405293; 7115 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 7.0-mile-long, four-lane, limited-access parkway on the east side of Savannah, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. The roadway would extend from the Abercorn Street Extension (State Route R 204) north to Derenne Avenue and complete the final phases of the Harry S. Truman Parkway. Phase I of the project, from Derenne Avenue to Wheaton Street, was completed in 1993; construction of Phase II, from Wheaton Street to President Street, began in 1994. Completion of the parkway would enable traffic to bypass the congested southern areas of Savannah and would also remove through traffic from parallel roadways that are currently operating near capacity. Two main build alternatives, seven subalternatives, a No-Build Alternative, a transportation systems management alternative, and a mass transit alternative are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. Various combinations of the alternatives and subalternatives produced 20 alternative build alignments. Of the 20 possible configurations, nine were determined to be reasonable. Nineteen of the 20 build alternatives would require the construction of a bridge over the salt marsh adjacent to the Vernon River and the river itself. Two methods of bridge construction were considered: mat and barge (Method A), which would involve the placement of temporary mats directly on the marsh; and end-on or short-span (Method B), which would involve the driving of piling ahead of the previous span. The applicant's preferred alternative is Alternative 1 with Bridge Construction Method A, which would be the lowest-cost and least controversial proposal. The total estimated cost of the project is $84.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on area roads, reduce travel time and improve vehicle efficiency for commuters and local residents, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would result in displacement of 83 residences and seven businesses, 19.1 acres of land within ten jurisdictional wetlands and three jurisdictional waters, and 114.2 acres of forest. The displaced residences would include 49 single-family homes and one apartment complex containing 34 units. Approximately 113 receptors would experience noise in excess of federal standards, and only 70 of these receptors would qualify for mitigation. The rights-of-way development would also adversely affect 54 acres of the Bacon Park Golf Course and Archery Range. The visual aesthetics of portions of the town of Vernonburg, a community recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be adversely affected.

AN - 36407362; 7112 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Grace Memorial Bridge and the Silas N. Pearman Bridge between Charleston and Mount Pleasant, located in southeastern South Carolina, is proposed. The bridges, which cross the Cooper River and Town Creek and serve US 17 between the city of Charleston and the town of Mount Pleasant, are functionally obsolete and/or structurally deficient. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. In addition to the other two alternatives, the replacement of the bridges within the existing corridor and replacement within a new corridor, this EIS considers whether the bridges should be finances by levying of tolls. Under the preferred alternative, the bridges would be replaced by a single structure with a deck width of 126 feet and a total width of 129 feet. The preferred alternative would also include the construction of approach bridges and ramps with connections to Interstate 26 (I-26), the Cross Town Expressway, and local streets in both Charleston and Mount Pleasant. The preferred alignment would lie within the New Market Corridor; it would be identical to the existing alignment at the Mount Pleasant end and over the Cooper River but would diverge north at Drum Island to enter Charleston at I-26 approximately 2,000 feet upstream of the existing Cooper River bridges. The navigational clearance over Town Creek and the Cooper River would be 65 feet and 186 feet, respectively. The existing bridges would be moved to a new location or demolished upon the completion of the new bridges. The estimated cost of the project is $420 million in 1998 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the capacity of US 17 over the Cooper River; improve traffic safety by meeting current design standards and eliminating substandard safety factors; reduce the frequency of major bridge maintenance activities that disrupt, and will continue to disrupt, traffic flow; and increase the vertical clearance over the channel to accommodate the current and future needs of the Navy and the State Ports Authority. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition in Charleston for the would involve the displacement of 27 residences, 17 businesses, three churches, a child development center, a homeless shelter, and an American Legion post. The existing Grace Bridge, which would be removed or demolished, is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Approximately 15 acres of wetland would be bridged, piers and footings would affect two acres, and three acres would be filled. The structures would cross saltwater marsh and waters that support ecologically, commercially, and recreationally-important fisheries and habitats. Federal noise standards would be approached or exceeded at 97 residences, 12 commercial properties, and two churches.

AN - 16351513; 7111 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway running parallel to the Atlantic Coast just to the west of the Intercoastal Waterway, located in eastern South Carolina, is proposed. The project would be located in the Grand Strand Area, one of the most popular resort areas in the nation. The area includes the communities of Atlantic Beach, Conway, Georgetown, and Myrtle Beach. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the roadway, to be known as the Carolina Bays Parkway, would be 34.8 miles long and provide for six lanes of traffic along the main line with fully-controlled access between US Route 17 and SC 9 and four lanes along the connectors crossing the Intracoastal Waterway with limited access. Interchanges would be provided where the connector intersected with the parkway and where the highway intersected with U.S. 17, South Carolina Route (SC) 544, US 501, Conway Bypass, and SC 9. At-grade intersections would be provided where the connectors intersected with US 17 and at the terminus of the Central parkway Connector at 48th Avenue North. The estimated cost of the selected alternative (Alternative 1) is $581.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A controlled-access, high-speed highway within the corridor would improve north-south traffic movements, relieve congestion on the existing street network, and provide a safe and efficient highway link to move people, goods, and services more quickly and directly. Fuel savings due to greater transportation efficiency would be substantial. The highway would help to support the construction of new tourist facilities and multi-use developments; an estimated $1 billion of such construction projects are planned for the next five years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Build Alternative 1 would displace 182 residences, 16 businesses, 582 acres of prime farmland and 363 acres of farmland of statewide importance, and 221 acres of wetlands. A total of 1,514.8 acres of right-of-way would be required. The project would traverse 4,655.6 feet of floodplain and 10 hazardous materials sits.

AN - 36408146; 7110 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of the 35-foot-deep navigation channel in the Arthur Kill Channel near Staten Island, located in southeastern New York, is proposed. The Arthur Kill Channel is a component of the federal navigation project known as the New York and New Jersey channels. The project area is that part of the Arthur Kill Channel beginning at its confluence with the Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay channels and extending southwesterly to the Howland Hook Marine Terminal in Staten Island, New York, a distance of one mile, and continuing southwesterly to the Tosco Refining Company and GATX oil facilities, a distance of two miles. Under the proposed action, which is designated the 41/40 plan, the channel would be deepened in these two sections by five feet and six feet, respectively. In addition, the channel would be widened and straightened as necessary. The project would require the disposal of 9.8 million cubic yards (mcy) of rock, 2.1 mcy of potentially contaminated black mud, and 0.4 mcy of clean uncolidated deposits. The estimated first cost for implementing the proposed action is $307.6 million, excluding interest during construction. This final supplement to the final EIS of October 1985 considers changes in the area in the past 13 years and the shipment of cargo to newly constructed marine container terminals and facilities along the channel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 41/40 plan would meet the current navigational needs of the project area by improving navigational efficiency and safety. The improvements would allow deep draft vessels to safely navigate the channel while remaining fully loaded, thus avoiding the need for lightering or steaming under partial loads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. The dredging would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. The dredging would also result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1241), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662).

AN - 16358757; 7101 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Legacy Parkway, extending 13 miles from Interstate 215 (I-215) at 2100 North in Salt Lake City to the intersection of I-15 and US 89 near Farmington, located in northern Utah, is proposed. The four-lane, limited-access, divided highway would be constructed in order 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. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, and a number of other options, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative A, the easternmost alternative, would include two frontage roads and, under one option, would extend from south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful to north of Parrish Lane in Centerville. Alternative B, the westernmost alignment, in North Salt Lake and Farmington, would 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, which would be the westernmost alignment in Centerville, 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 locally preferred alternative is Alternative C, including both options. The estimated costs of Alternative A, Alternative B, Alternative C, and the locally preferred alternatives are $353 million, $383 million, $339 million, and $337 million, respectively. 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 the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. The locally preferred alternative would result in the protection of 717 acres of wetland, while the other alternatives would protect from 572 to 761 acres of wetland. Approximately 5,762 acres of potentially developable land would lie adjacent to the locally preferred alternative, while the other alternatives would provide access to 5,122 to 6,146 acres of developable land. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The locally preferred alternative would displace 10 residences, 12 businesses, and eight horse paddocks as well as 156 acres of wetland, 89 acres of prime farmland, and seven acres of state-listed important farmland. The rights-of-way requirements for the other alternatives would displace 10 to 20 residences, 13 to 24 businesses, up to two farmsteads, and seven to 16 horse paddocks. All action alternatives, except Alternative A, would encroach on the Bountiful Sanitary Landfill and could impede access to the landfill. The locally preferred alternative would require the relocation of the eastern parking lot of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area.

AN - 16357971; 7103 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of 21.5 miles of Interstate 15 (I-15) from downtown Salt Lake City to Kaysville, located in northern Utah, is proposed. The existing facilities, additional demand reduction, the expansion of mass transit, and the construction addition of Legacy Parkway from I-125 at 2100 North in Salt Lake to the I-15/US 89 interchange in Farmington would meet only 81 percent of the projected travel needs; the I-15 improvements would be needed to address the remaining 19 percent. Eight alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide eight mixed-flow lanes (four in each direction) and two high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes (one in each direction), expanding the highway from eight to ten lanes. A direct connection, in the form of a fly-over ramp, would allow HOV traffic to access the Salt Lake City Business District more efficiently. The alternative would include an advanced traveler management system, the expansion of transportation system management facilities, and transportation demand management. The alternative would assume the construction of Legacy Parkway. The estimated cost of the project is $951.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway reconstruction would help meet the year 2020 travel demand projected for the North Corridor, while correcting geometric and operational deficiencies characterizing the existing facility. The efficiency and economy of public transit operations would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The installation of a large detention pond would require the conversion of five acres of farmland listed as important by state authorities. The rights-of-way requirements due to the alteration of interchange designs would adversely affect nine residential properties and 11 properties would be permanently displaced. The access to seven single-family residences, two mobile home parks, an apartment complex, the historic Eldredge and Jennings House, and numerous businesses would be altered. Partial property acquisitions would adversely affect 26 business locations and 12 commercial operations would be permanently displaced. Two sites, a petroleum concern and a former gas station, would require investigation in order to deal with concerns about hazardous materials. Noise conditions would probably worsen for residents along the freeway, the operation of which already results in noise levels in excess of federal standards; noise barriers would be provided at qualified locations. Approximately 12.8 acres of wetlands would be disturbed, and some grassland would be displaced. A minimal loss of floodplain and foraging habitat for endangered species would result.

AN - 16351446; 7096 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a US 93 bypass of the road crossing the Hoover Dam, located in southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona, is proposed. The project would involve the construction of a bridge and highway access facilities to allow for a new crossing of the Colorado River in the vicinity of the Hoover Dam. The project would extend approximately 3.5 miles, lying entirely within federal lands, namely, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Hoover Dam Reservation. Four alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Promontory Point Alternative would cross Lake Mead approximately 1,000 feet upstream of the Hoover Dam, requiring the construction of approximately 2.7 miles of highway approach in Nevada, a 2,200-foot-long bridge, and approximately 0.9 miles of highway approach in Arizona. The Sugarloaf Mountain Alternative would cross the river about 1,500 feet downstream of the dam, requiring the construction of 2.2 miles of highway approach in Nevada, a 1,900-foot-long bridge, and approximately 1.1 miles of highway approach in Arizona. The Gold Strike Canyon Alternative would cross the river approximately one mile downstream of the dam, requiring the construction of approximately 2.2 miles of highway approach in Nevada, a 1,700-foot-long bridge, and 1.1 miles of highway approach in Arizona. The estimated cost of the alternatives is $198 million to $215 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bridge and highway would correct alignment and capacity deficiencies on US 93 and reduce or eliminate truck traffic and through traffic from the Hoover Dam roadway. The reduction of traffic at the Hoover Dam would improve air quality in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way development would disturb 0.3 to 11.0 acres of desert wash habitat, 120 to 131 acres of desert tortoise habitat, and 20 to 55 acres of desert bighorn sheep habitat, and two alternatives could impact peregrine falcon breeding territory. From 50 to 73 acres of federal recreation land would be adversely affected, and the construction activities would impair recreational activities within the project corridor. The structures would alter the historic visual setting of the Hoover Dam, a national historic landmark. Up to five historic and four pre-historic sites eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places could be adversely affected. The Gold Strike Canyon Alternative would increase noise at the upper end of the canyon significantly.

(Phelps Dodge), would involve the implementation of an integrated mine plan employing conventional open-pit mining techniques with solution extraction and electrowinning technologies (SX/EW). The project would consist of two open-pit mines with one leach pad, a crushing and material-handling system, one shared SX/EW processing facility, and shared infrastructure and support facilities. The project would produce approximately 2.9 billion pounds of salable copper over its's 16-year production life. Project production would include the mining of 626 million tons of oxide and sulfide leach ore and 385 million tons of lower-grade and unmineralized material (development rock). Total minable mineral would amount to 1.01 billion tons resulting in a 0.6:1 non-ore-to-ore ratio. The construction of the SX/EW facility would require 15 months to complete. The construction of the crushing and material handling system would begin approximately two years after the construction of the SX/EW plant. A reclamation plan would be included in the project. The project activities would encompass 1,387 acres of private lands held by Phelps Dodge, 1,935 acres of BLM lands, and 10 acres of lands held by the state of Arizona. In addition to the MPO, the BLM is considering a land exchange with Phelps Dodge that would enable the Dos Pobres/San Juan Project to proceed without BLM oversight, assuming that the Phelps Dodge was able to obtain all necessary environmental permits. Authorizing the MPO and approving the land exchange constitutes two separate, but related, federal actions, both of which are addressed in this draft EIS. Alternatives include two mining and two land exchange alternatives, each category including one No Action Alternative. The mining proposal by Phelps Dodge, with some potential changes, constitutes the action mining alternative. The action land exchange alternative would involve exchange of 17,000 acres of public land desired by Phelps Dodge for approximately 3,858 acres held by Phelps Dodge in five counties in Arizona. The BLM, which constitutes the primary decision-making agency, has selected as its preferred alternative the action land exchange alternative under which Phelps Dodge would acquire title to the selected lands. The Army Corps of Engineer's preferred alternative is the least environmentally damaging, practicable mine plan alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The extraction of the copper ore would help meet the nation's need for this metal and provide substantial employment locally for the entire life of the project. Approximately 250 full-time workers would be employed during the operational phase of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The mining activities would result in the temporary loss of grazing on 3,234 acres of public lands and the permanent loss of 1,935 acres of grazing on public lands. Major modifications to the landscape would have visual impacts, though these could be reduced to some degree. Mine blasting would increase noise and cause vibration for the 160-year life of the project. Long-term groundwater levels and changes in groundwater gradients would occur within the project area, and a Dodge Phelps seep would be permanently lost. A total of 34 archaeological sites, including 23 sites considered to be significant to local Indian tribes, would be destroyed.

AN - 16348541; 7087 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of conditions at the Chicago area confined disposal facility (CDF) at Calumet Harbor, located in Chicago, Illinois, is considered. The CDF was constructed in 1983-1984 to contain contaminated sediments unsuitable for open-lake disposal dredged from the federal deep-draft navigation channels in the Chicago River, Chicago Harbor, and the Calumet River and Harbor in Cook County. The CDF has a capacity of approximately 1.3 million cubic yards, and currently holds approximately 400,000 cubic yards of sediment. Dredged material was placed in the CDF on six occasions between October 1984 and December 1994. When filled to capacity, the CDF will be capped, seeded, and turned over to the local sponsors (Chicago Park District and Illinois International Port District). After the CDF's impermeable synthetic liner was damaged during construction, a sand blanket was installed in its place to prevent migration of sediments through the dike wall. This final supplement to the May 1982 final EIS on construction of the CDF documents existing conditions at the CDF; discrepancies between the project as presented in the final EIS and the project as operated during 1984-1997; the absence of adverse environmental impacts associated with project operation; improvements to the water quality monitoring plan; plans for managing vegetation at the CDF to prevent adverse impacts to wildlife habitat, including habitat for endangered species; plans for managing sediment in the CDF to prevent adverse impacts to wildlife, air quality, and public health; and improvements to the operating plan. The changes in the operation would involve the filtration system, monitoring wells, dredging and disposal methods, sediment management systems, vegetation controls, management of dredged debris (timber, automobile, cables, and more), security and signing, and control of spills during disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the CDF would ensure the safe containment of contaminated materials currently placed in the facility and to be placed in the facility in the future, allowing maintenance of the Cook County channels and perpetuation of safe navigation on the associated rivers and harbors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some cottonwood trees would be removed. Site surveys would identify any threatened or endangered species of birds nesting in the trees. Cutting would be undertaken only when it was certain that no such species were present.

Preparation date: September 11, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAVANNAH HARBOR EXPANSION PROJECT, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA, AND JASPER COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 16360325; 7086 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of deep-draft navigational facilities for Savannah Harbor, located in southeastern Georgia and southern South Carolina, is proposed. The deepening of the harbor is authorized under Section 203 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Public Law 99-662. The existing Savannah Harbor Channel is no longer adequate to accommodate modern deep-draft vessels efficiently and cost-effectively; furthermore, the harbor is handling more vessel traffic than anticipated. Container traffic at the Port of Savannah increased by 20 percent during 1991 and 1995, greatly exceeding projections. Issues identified during the scoping process include the impacts of channel deepening on salinity levels in the estuary, dissolved oxygen levels in the Lower Savannah River, freshwater wetlands in the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, striped bass spawning in the estuary, shortnose sturgeon population, water quality degradation due to disposal of dredge sediments, chloride concentrations in industrial water supply, breaches of the Floridan aquifer, and historical landmarks along the Savannah River. In addition to the No Action Alternative, alternatives considered in this final EIS would involve deepening of the navigation channel to a depth of 44, 46, 47, 48, or 50 feet from a point near Fort Pulaski to a point above Kings Island Turning Basin, a distance of 103,000 feet. The preferred alternative would involve dredging the channel to a depth of 48 feet. The project would also involve the deepening of the berthing area at Georgia Ports Authority's Container Berth 7 to match the selected channel depth; the removal of debris encountered on the river banks, on the existing river bottom, and in the new work prism, followed by the disposal of the debris at an appropriate commercial site; the widening of the channel at 12 bends to allow longer and deeper-draft vessels to navigate the channel; and the widening the lower end of the Middle River and an oxbow at Drakies Cut and re-establishing flow in the vicinity of New Cut. With respect to dredged material disposal, the project would involve raising the dikes at the inner harbor contained disposal facilities (CDFs); placing sediments dredged from the inner harbor into the existing CDFs or using these sediments for construction of Middle River closures; and placing sediments dredged from the entrance channel into the existing ocean dredged material disposal site and, if suitable, using these sediments for construction of submerged berms in the nearshore area along the entrance channel and for construction of a feeder berm off Tybee Island. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels and improving channel configuration, the project would reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, accommodate larger and newer vessels, reduce tidal delays, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and disposal operations would release sediments, including contaminated sediments into the water column. The decreased levels of dissolved oxygen could adversely affect shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species. The chloride levels at the City of Savannah water intake on Abercorn Creek could increase significantly. Wrecks and other historic structures, including Old Fort Jackson, would be damaged by project activities. Less than six acres of marsh habitat would be impacted by navigation channel works, and an additional 35 acres of marsh would be lost due to closure of the Middle River from the Front River and reopening New Cut.

Preparation date: September 10, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CROSS CASCADE PIPELINE, MOUNT BAKER-SNOQUALMIE AND WENATCHEE NATIONAL FORESTS, CITY OF PASCO; ADAMS, FRANKLIN, GRANT, KING, KITTITAS, AND SHOHOMISH COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 16358122; 7083 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a right-of-way permit for the Cross Cascade Pipeline Project between Snohomish County and the City of Pasco, across the state of Washington, is proposed. The Olympic Pipe Line Company (OPL), the applicant, currently transports refined petroleum products for shippers in Washington from four northwest refineries (Tosco, Arco, Texaco, and Shell) to various customers in Washington and Oregon via OPL's pipeline from the refineries south of Portland. OPL would construct and operate a 230-mile buried common carrier petroleum products pipeline passing through portions of Snohomish, King, Kittitas, Adams, Grant, and Franklin counties as well as the cities of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Kittitas, and Pasco. The corridor would begin near Woodinville in western Washington and terminate at an existing storage and distribution facility in Pasco in eastern Washington. The pipeline project would include up to six pump stations, 29 block valves, a delivery facility on an 0.9-acre site in Pasco, and a products terminal on a 27-acre site adjacent to Interstate 90 near the town of Kittitas. The Kittitas terminal would ultimately include nine aboveground liquid petroleum storage tanks, providing an overall storage capacity of 36.1 million gallons as well as a 420,000-gallon transmix and relief tank, truck loading racks, and parking for tanker trucks. The pipeline, which would constitute an extension of the 400-mile OPL system, would have an initial capacity of 60,000 barrels (2.52 million gallons) per day, with three pump stations in operation. Addition of three more pump stations would increase the system capacity to up to 110,000 barrels (4.62 million gallons) per day. Approximately 109 miles, or 47 percent of the pipeline corridor would be located within existing cleared right-of-way, and 56 miles would be located immediately adjacent to cleared corridors. Alternatives considered in this draft EIS include the No Action Alternative, three options with respect to the Columbia River approach and five options of crossing the Columbia River. The construction of the line would take at least one year and, perhaps, longer if construction windows were required to reduce impacts to fish and wildlife. The estimated cost of pipeline construction in approximately $105.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The operation of the pipeline would respond to requests from shippers for a less expensive and more direct means of transporting refined petroleum products from western Washington to central and eastern Washington. The existence of the pipeline would obviate the need to off-load petroleum products from the existing pipeline onto tanker trucks and river barges, from ocean barges onto river barges, or from Puget Sound barges onto trucks via Harbor Island. The pipeline would also be more efficient for those who can pick up petroleum product in Kittitas rather than trucking it from Seattle across the Snoqualmie or Stevens Passes. The risk of accidental spills present during transfer from one transport mode to another would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 29 percent of the corridor would lie on property not currently used for utility corridor purposes; these lands would be removed from other public uses and exposed to the risk of pipeline spills where no such risk currently exists. Spills would endanger surface water and groundwater quality. Numerous perennial bodies of water and 17.1 acres of wetland would be traversed, resulting in potential sedimentation and other impacts adversely affecting water quality and fish habitat. The construction activities would disturb 540 acres of shrub-steppe vegetation. Four population of state-listed threatened or endangered plant species would be adversely affected. Recreational and visual resources, including those associated with trails, golf courses, and state parks, would be adversely affected. The influx of construction workers would place stress on housing resources. The project would be inconsistent with the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan due to the need to removal standing second-growth trees on lands designated as late-successional reserves. Shippers using alternative means of transporting petroleum product would face economic losses once the pipeline was in operation.

AN - 16348506; 7084 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of shoreline protection and restoration activities for a two-mile section of the Delaware coast, including the towns of Bethany Beach and South Bethany, located in southern Delaware, is proposed. Bethany Beach and South Bethany are extensively developed shore communities which play a principal role in the state's tourism industry. Significant beach and dune erosion has left these communities vulnerable to storm damages with reduced recreational opportunities. Severe storms in recent years have caused a reduction in the overall beach height and width along the study area, which, along with the absence of suitable dunes, exposing the towns of Bethany Beach and South Bethany to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve beach fill consisting of a dune and berm configuration with a width of 150 feet, including 115 feet of dune base width and 35 feet of berm. The berm would be built up to an elevation of seven feet NAVD, while the dune elevation would be 16 feet NAVD. The design would be the same for both Bethany Beach and South Bethany Beach. The plan would include planting of dune grass, dune fencing, and placement of suitable advance beach fill and periodic nourishment to ensure the integrity of the design. Approximately 3.4 million cubic yards (cy) of initial fill would be taken from a designated offshore borrow site. Subsequent periodic nourishment, requiring 480,000 cy of fill, would be placed on the beaches every three years following initial nourishment. The estimated costs of initial nourishment and related activities are $22.1 million; the estimated periodic nourishment costs are $4.5 million. The estimated average annual cost of the project is $3.3 million and the estimated average annual benefits are $5.1 million, yielding a benefit-cost ratio of 1.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would preserve the commercial viability of Bethany Beach and South Bethany as tourist destinations, and reduce the potential for severe storm damage to the structures and property associated with the communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. The dredging of beach fill would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. The dredging would also result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities in the borrow area, and the consequent displacement of a finfish food source.

Preparation date: September 10, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SCHOFIELD BARRACKS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL, OAHU, HONOLULU COUNTY, HAWAII. AN - 16357901; 7081 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to provide for long-term disposal of wastewater received by the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serving the U.S. Army's Schofield Barracks, located on Oahu, 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 effluent has limited potential for irrigation use based on the State of Hawaii's Department of Health's current guidelines, which are about to be placed into effect. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1a would upgrade the Schofield Barracks WWTP to an advanced tertiary facility and convey the tertiary (R-1) effluent for Army reuse and to the City and County of Honolulu facilities at Honouliuli for reuse or ocean disposal. Alternative 1b would continue secondary treatment at the WWTP and convey the R-2 effluent for Army reuse and to the City and County of Honolulu facilities at Honouliuli for further treatment and reuse or ocean disposal. Alternative 1c would downgrade the WWTP to a wastewater pump station and convey the effluent to the Honouliuli WWTP for further treatment and reuse or ocean disposal. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve upgrading of the existing WWTP to provide for tertiary treatment and use of the reclaimed R-1 quality water for irrigation on agricultural lands in Central Oahu. Wet weather discharge and storage would be accommodated in the existing holding ponds located on DFC lands or, if necessary, in Wahiawa Reservoir by discharge through a new deep water 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. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $50.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to allowing the WWTP effluent to meet state reuse standards, the use of the R-1 effluent for irrigation purposes would support agricultural land uses on the island. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction at the WWTP 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 temporary closure of the existing bikeways along portions of Kunia Road and Fort Weaver Road, requiring bicyclists to use alternate routes.

Preparation date: September 9, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 65, CARROLLTON TO MARSHALL; CARROLL, LAFAYETTE, AND SALINE COUNTIES, MISSOURI. AN - 16348892; 7080 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 35-mile-long section of US 65 from two miles south of Marshall to 0.5 mile north of Carrollton, Missouri, is proposed. The highway is a primary north-south transportation corridor in central Missouri, but the section under study suffers from substandard alignments, inadequate cross-section elements, and poor pavement structure. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. At the southern terminus in Marshall, the roadway would tie into the existing four-lane expressway, located approximately nine miles north of Interstate 70. At the northern terminus, the roadway would connect to an existing interchange with US 24 and incorporate an existing four-lane section of roadway one mile in length. North of the interchange, the improvements would extend an additional 2.7 miles and tie into the alignment of the existing two-lane highway that would ultimately be improved as part of a separate project. The project would also involve the construction of a four-lane bridge over the Missouri River to replace either the 70-year-old, two-lane structure at Waverly or the 50-year-old, two-lane structure at Miami. The bridge and its approaches would be built at a new location near one of the existing bridges. Both of the existing bridges have narrow substandard lane widths and are unsafe for commercial and agricultural freight movement. The project would upgrade the existing highway from a two-lane to a four-lane facility. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would maximize the use of existing rights-of-way and pavement, using 14 miles of existing alignment, and provide the best overall traffic design profile. It would cross the Missouri River near Waverly. The estimated construction cost of the project is $130.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve existing highway deficiencies, replace an aging and unsafe bridge over the Missouri River, improve traffic efficiency and capacity, maintain linkage within the state highway system, and support regional and local economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of 1,006 acres of right-of-way would displace 14 residences, one business, 10.6 acres of floodplain, 4.5 acres of Missouri River regulatory floodway, 16 acres of wetlands, 782 acres of prime farmland, 48.7 acres of pasture, and 81.4 acres of forest. Seven additional residences would be indirectly impacted. Noise levels would increase by less than five decibels on the A-weighted scale (dBs) at three sites, five to 10 dBA at six sites, 10 dBA at one site, and 15 dBA as one site. In addition, the project could adversely affect 73 archaeological sites, nine historic sites, and 10 architectural sites, many of which are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The alignment would cross 36 rivers, streams, and drainageways, including 20 new crossings, and 3.6 acres of stock or irrigation ponds.

AN - 36408340; 7076 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Army and Air National Guard training programs and facilities at the Atterbury Reserve Forces Training Area, Camp Atterbury, located in south-central Indiana, is proposed. The 33,132-acre military installation, established in 1942, is located three miles west of Edinburgh and 45 miles south of Indianapolis. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would upgrade the facility to provide enhanced, high-quality, realistic training to the individuals and units that train there. The existing facilities are inadequate to support U.S. Army training for live fire exercises involving attack helicopters and tanks and for the evaluation of the maneuvering capabilities of mechanized and armored vehicles. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2C), the southwest sector of the facility would be dedicated to a multipurpose training range to be used by tanks, attack helicopters, anti-tank weapons, infantry fighting vehicles, and dismounted infantry. Range firing would be oriented in a northeasterly direction and all weapons would fire into the existing common impact area, which would be expanded to 6,000 acres. Including the safety fan, the total training range would occupy 11,250 acres. Two maneuver corridors, requiring 2,400 acres, would be constructed along the east and west boundaries of the facility in order to accommodate up to two tracked vehicle platoons. Atterbury's existing vehicle trails are narrow and can accommodate only one tracked vehicle at a time. However, in some locations, the new corridors would be 550 yards wide. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve the overall efficiency of the training, and also provide National Guard troops with modern ranges and up-to-date equipment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The expanded training and new equipment utilization would result in short-term increases in emissions of particulates and other pollutants. The range modernization and the expansion of maneuver corridors would fragment wildlife habitat, disturb soils, displace vegetation including woodland, and create the potential for siltation and sedimentation of surface waters. Approximately 246 acres of potential summer roosting habitat for the endangered Indiana bat would be permanently committed to the training range. Stream crossings would be required. Training activities would increase ambient noise emissions affecting local residents. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Preparation date: September 4, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HANSEN DAM WATER CONSERVATION AND SUPPLY STUDY, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407627; 7073 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water conservation plan at Hansen Dam in the city of Los Angeles, located in southern California, is proposed. The dam is located at the confluence of the Big Tujunga Creek and the Little Tujunga Creek washes, along the northern edges of the San Fernando Valley. The drainage area of the dam is approximately 152 square miles. Tujunga Wash flows through Hansen Dam, then southward to the Los Angeles River. Local concerns have been raised about future water supply sources, continued regional population growth, dwindling imports of water, and continued increases in the costs of water. The proposed action would use water retention space behind the dam between storms and after the flood season. Although the main purpose of the dam is to provide flood protection for downstream communities, the dam could be used to temporarily store water during non-flood periods. Water would be released from the dam at a rate necessary for recharging the groundwater aquifer. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives would involve maintaining a year-round water conservation pool with maximum storage elevations of 1,010.5 feet national geodetic vertical datum (NGVD), 1,020.0 feet NGVD, and 1,030.0 feet NGVD. The National Economic Development Plan (Alternative 4) would have a maximum pool elevation of 1,030 feet NGVD and a water conservation yield of 20,500 acre-feet per year. From October 1 through February 28, water could be held for conservation purposes up to the maximum elevation as long as weather conditions permitted. From March 1 through September 30, water could also be held for conservation purposes up to an elevation of 1,000 feet NGVD. Once every seven years, water could be held up to the maximum elevation year-round. During years when floodwater need not be retained, maintenance would be performed before October 1. Maintenance would include cleaning, removal of sediment in the approach area and other such tasks. Two slide gates would be constructed at the ungated outlets located at an elevation of 1,011 feet NGVD. The storage plan would increase water conservation by 3,400 acre-feet per year. The estimated total first cost for the two slide gates is $2.0 million, with an estimated annual cost of $150,700. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would help to meet anticipated water supply shortages in southern California. The plan would produce $955,000 in total benefits and $295,300 in net benefits annually and have a benefit-cost ratio of 1.45. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The increased level and duration of inundation would adversely affect a future wildlife management area, terrestrial birds, willow woodland, mulefat scrub, and least Bell's vireo. In addition, access to nearby athletic fields, picnic areas, and trails would be restricted under the recommended plan, resulting in an annual loss in recreational value of $63,000. The Hansen Dam embankment and an historic archeological site used as a staying area or construction camp during construction could be adversely affected.

Levees are subject to overtopping, current and wave attack on the riverside slope, surface erosion of slopes and crest resulting from rainfall, through-seepage causing softening and sloughing of the slope in the vicinity of the landside toe and associated piping problems, underseepage resulting in uplift pressures on the landside impervious top stratum with associated sand boils and piping problems, and slope instability in the form of deep-seated or shallow surface slides. The innovative methods presented in this report are not intended to replace existing methods but rather to add to the repertoire of conventional methods available to the designer. For example, when levees are located in urban areas, the expense involved in obtaining necessary rights-of-way for conventional rehabilitation measures, such as slope flattening for slope instability, is prohibitive, leaving innovative methods as the only feasible solution.

The Corps of Engineers also operates more than 350 reservoir dams, most of which are either concrete gravity structures or embankment structures with accompanying attachments and appurtenances constructed of plain or reinforced concrete. Many of these structures require, or will require, significant repairs to ensure safe and efficient operations. The Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program was created to identify and develop effective and affordable technology for maintaining and extending the service life of existing Corps Civil Works structures. Modern engineering technology is providing procedures for performing condition surveys, consistent and quantitative condition assessment, and database management. Combined with economic analyses, these procedures afford efficient maintenance and repair (M&R) budget planning through evaluation of the current condition and comparison of various M&R alternatives based on life-cycle costs. Collectively, these procedures are called the REMR Management Systems. By using the REMR Management Systems, many of the subjective elements in the decision-making process are removed from M&R planning. JF - Technical Report.

An analytical solution for vertical water flow through homogeneous snow is developed and formulae that allow the solution to accommodate time-varying surface input from rain or snowmelt are derived. This facilitates use of the technique in a computer snowmelt model. Because the new technique requires no matrix computation, it is sufficiently computationally efficient to be a candidate for use in watershed-scale, distributed forecasting systems. Because it is a physically based model that takes into account the effect of the snow itself on the timing and magnitude of outflow, the model allows more accurate prediction of the magnitude and timing of snowmelt than in currently employed operational models. Results of the new model agree well with previous theoretical solutions and with field measurements of melt and rain-on-snow events in a seasonal snow pack.

There is concern among resource managers that the cumulative impacts associated with rapid development of the upper watershed will degrade the ecological integrity of the entire watershed. In response to this concern, we assessed the impacts of development projects in this watershed, which were subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Cumulative impacts were assessed by comparing the conditions present at each project site prior to issuance of the Section 404 permit to conditions present after issuance of the permit. Changes between pre- and post-project site conditions were evaluated using a semantic categorization for the following six criteria: endangered species habitat, structural diversity, spatial diversity, undeveloped open space, linear contiguity, and adjacent habitat. The impact assessment showed that although the Section 404 permit program has attenuated project impacts, it has failed at minimizing cumulative impacts. Projects permitted under Section 404 contributed to the disruption of movement corridors linking the habitats of the upper and lower watershed and resulted in extensive floodplain encroachment, which may have hydrologic as well as ecological implications. More importantly, this assessment identified the types of activities and habitat functions that should be addressed during revisions in permitting procedures and should be emphasized in the watershed planning process.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Impact of Airport Deicing Runoff on Water Quality and Aquatic Life in a Pennsylvania Stream AN - 17117948; 4423013 AB - The impacts of a large airport on the water quality and aquatic life of a small (94.8 km super(2) drainage area) western Pennsylvania stream were examined. The principal adverse effects of airport runoff were related to runway deicing operations. Microbial metabolism of glycols and urea utilized as deicing reagents exerted a strong biochemical oxygen demand in receiving waters. Similarly, the breakdown of urea led to elevated concentrations of ammonia. The use of alkaline mill slag as a fill material in the construction of the runways was probably responsible for some elevated alkalinity and pH values from runway leachates. The organic waste load stimulated the growth of dense biological slimes on streambeds. Invertebrate communities in waters influenced by airport runoff were severely stressed and dominated by pollution tolerant Chironomidae and Oligochaeta. The fishery of the watershed was also impaired, although transient fishes from the nearby Ohio River apparently reinvaded the stream at certain times of the year.

The time, resource, and technical requirements of existing assessment methods often prohibit their routine use by regulatory staff. Consequently, many evaluations are based on area affected and best professional judgment. In this paper, we present a Rapid Impact Assessment Method (RIAM) that can be used to assess impacts to aquatic resources in a manner that is scientifically defensible, yet easy to implement by regulators, planners, and resource managers. The RIAM provides a framework for assessing impacts while allowing for specialization of evaluation criteria based on the habitat type, region of interest, and specific regulatory, planning, or management goal. Site-specific impacts are assessed by comparing the conditions present at each site prior to project implementation to conditions present after implementation of the project. A set of evaluation criteria is defined to reflect the important ecological characteristics to be evaluated. Each project site is given a pre- and post-project rating for each evaluation criterion, ranging from A for site conditions similar to those present at reference sites to E for the most degraded condition. Impact scores for each criterion, ranging from -4 to +4, are based on the difference between the pre- and post-project rating levels at each site. We demonstrate the application of the RIAM by using it to assess the impacts of projects permitted under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act on the following six evaluation criteria: endangered species habitat, structural diversity of habitat, spatial diversity of habitat, open space habitat, linear contiguity of habitat, and adjacent habitats. In the future, the method developed in this study can be used as a predictive tool to help monitor impacts on an ongoing basis.

These sludges were then frozen at various rates in thin layers to simulate a horizontal belt freezer. The tests indicate that a low freezing rate and a high initial solids content produce larger alum sludge particles. Curing time has no effect on grain size. The maximum freezing rates for the gravity-thickened, vacuum-filtered, and belt-pressed sludges were 6.6, 15.5, and 19.8 kg h super(-1)m super(-2), respectively. The electrical cost of freezing sludge with this device was estimated to be $0.004 m super(-3). These tests show that dewatering prior to freezing not only saves energy because it reduces the amount of sludge to be frozen, but it improves the final product in terms of a larger effective grain size.

General components and advantages of risk assessment are identified, and situations for application of the decision making tool are described. Risk assessment applies best in cases where site selection or dredged material evaluation has indicated potential environmental effects, or where integration of site selection data and dredged material characterization around site-specific assumptions may improve a decision maker's understanding of the potential for effects. Process phases delineated are hazard identification and problem formulation, exposure assessment, toxicity and effects assessment, and risk characterization.

AN - 36404740; 7053 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of excess property following the closure of depot activities at Fort McClellan, located in northeastern Alabama, is proposed. The fort encompasses three main bodies of government-owned land: the main post, consisting of 18,929 acres adjoining Anniston in the valley west of the Choccolocco Mountains; the Choccolocco Corridor consisting of 4,488 acres leased from the state of Alabama; and Pelham Range, consisting of 22,245 acres located approximately eight miles due west of the fort's main post cantonment area. Approximately 12,000 acres of the main post are undeveloped mountains. The Choccolocco Corridor connects the fort with the Talladega National Forest, where 100,000 acres are available for training in the event of a national emergency or with the approval of the Forest Service. The Army plans to retain 409 acres within the main post and the entire Pelham Range area, which will be licensed by the Army to the Alabama National Guard for maneuvers, firing range activities and field training. The corridor lease with the State of Alabama would not be renewed and the land would remain with State of Alabama. In addition, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) owns three parcels within the main post, encompassing a total of 1,160 acres; these lands would be retained by the BLM. This would leave 17,360 acres for disposal and reuse, all of which lie within the main post area. Two disposal alternatives (encumbered and unencumbered), three reuse scenarios (medium-high, medium, and medium-low), and a No Action Alternative, which would involve making the Army caretaker of the affected land and facilities, are considered in this final EIS. The encumbrances would maintain legal responsibilities and sustain environmental values; unencumbered disposal was eliminated due to impacts to biological resources, soils, and other resources and the presence of hazardous waste and the potential presence of unexploded ordinance. The reuse alternative, which would most closely reflect the disposal plan, would be the medium-high density alternative. The reuse alternatives would include the redevelopment concepts for the main cantonment area and adjoining developed areas that have relatively few environmental restrictions and high reuse potential as well as for the currently undeveloped training areas of the fort which could have reuse limitations associated with unexploded ordinance that could be present in some of these areas. The Army's preferred alternative is encumbered disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse of the fort's land along the lines of the medium-high-density alternative would result in significant socioeconomic benefits to local residents reflected in the creation of an estimated 9,584 new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, land use would be expected to intensify, resulting in displacement of open space by commercial and industrial activities and increased activity in areas currently under low-use regimes. Such developments would also result in degradation of air quality and increased demands for utility and transportation infrastructure. The clearance of unexploded ordinance would result in disturbance of vegetation, included forested areas, and the associated habitat.

AN - 36390963; 7056 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of various flood control improvements, drainage facilities, and new or widened bridges in and along the Santa Clara River and its tributaries, located in southern California, is proposed. The improvements would be associated with the plan of the Valencia Company to develop 1,200 acres adjacent to the waterways over the next 15 to 20 years. The project area extends for 8.5 miles along the waterways. Residential, commercial, and industrial facilities are planned for this area. Under the applicant's action as originally proposed in the draft EIS, eight bridges would have been constructed and three existing bridges would have been widened to support the traffic generated by the continued development of the region. In order to reduce erosive forces, a 1,700-foot-long inlet structure was to be constructed for the bottom of South Fork, upstream of Valencia Boulevard bridge. A 100-foot-long grade stabilizer was to be installed immediately upstream of the inlet structure. In order to protect future land development from inundation by flood waters, Valencia was to install 85,850 feet of bank protection along portions of the Santa Clara River, South Fork, and San Francisco Creek. A corridor of open space would have been provided landward of the bank protection. An open space buffer zone and a trail corridor were to run parallel to the service road. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicant's proposal, were considered in the January 1998 draft EIS. This final EIS presents a new alternative, the Hybrid Avoidance Alternative, proposed by Valencia and identified as the preferred alternative. The new alternative would attempt to avoid encroachment into the riverbed by bank protection measures wherever possible, provide a wider buffer zone between future upland development and the riverbed habitats in order to maintain an upland riverine connection, and shield fish and wildlife using the riverine habitats from indirect effects of adjacent land development. It would also involve the construction of eight bridges, the widening of six bridges, and the replacement of one bridge. The bridges would be conventional concrete girders placed over concrete-filled piers. Bike undercrossings would be installed under four new or existing bridges to accommodate the city's bike trail system. The channel inlet structure would be the same as that proposed in the draft EIS. Bank protection under the Hybrid Avoidance Alternative would consist of buried soil cement layers, buried gunite lining, or ungrouted rip-rap, depending on the conditions and regulatory requirements affecting the riverbank reach to be protected. Approximately 81,150 feet of bank protection would be installed, 4,700 feet less than the length in the original proposal. A buffer zone would be established between the bank protection materials and the river. A 131-foot-wide corridor upland impact zone, covering a total of 170 acres, would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would provide the necessary infrastructure and flood control measures to support the planned real estate development in the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The installation of bank protection and bridges, and the alternation of natural banks, would degrade the visual quality of the river and its tributaries. Construction activity would generate emissions that substantially exceed air quality thresholds. The construction would also cause erosion and downstream sedimentation, adversely affecting fish and amphibians. Sensitive riparian habitat would be disturbed, adversely affecting such species as the least Bell's vireo and the southwestern willow flycatcher.

AN - 36414827; 7063 AB - PURPOSE: The dredging and disposal of dredged material in relation to the maintenance of the federal navigation project in the Providence River and Providence Harbor, located in Rhode Island, are proposed. The federal project, a 16.8-mile channel, begins near the head of Providence Harbor and follows the river on a southerly course to deep water near Prudence Island. The upper 2.5 miles comprise the main harbor. The Providence River and Providence Harbor together constitute the principal commercial waterway in Rhode Island. The deep-draft traffic in the Providence River and Providence Harbor consists mainly of tankers, barges, and general cargo vessels. There has been no significant dredging in Rhode Island since 1976. Since that time, shoaling has reduced controlling depths in the channel to as shallow as 30 feet below mean low water. The present level of shoaling has forced the Coast Guard to place one-way traffic and draft restrictions on ship traffic in the channel. A total of 158 potential disposal sites were screened, along with the impacts of 17 projects submitted by applicants for federal permits. Some 29 disposal options at 18 locations for dredged material disposal are considered in this draft EIS. Disposal alternatives include upland, open water, and confined aquatic disposal, as well as beneficial uses of the dredged material. The preferred alternative would involve dredging the federal channel and harbor to the authorized depth of 40 feet below mean low water, disposal of approximately 1.2 million cubic yards (mcy) of contaminated dredged sediment in a confined aquatic disposal cell near the channel, and disposal of approximately 4.4 mcy of clean material in Narragansett Bay at a site located between Prudence and Hog islands. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $88.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The navigational efficiency of the harbor would be restored and maintained, supporting the local and regional economy. Deep draft navigation would provide for cost reductions for shippers transporting goods, reductions directly related to the costs consumers pay for products such as gasoline, home heating oil, and other products. The disturbance of bottom sediment by ships passing over shoals would cease, and the possibility of groundings and oil spills would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging and disposal operations would result in temporary increases in suspended solids and contaminants in the water column, burial of aquatic resources, and the resultant economic impacts on the fishing interests dependent on the bay.

AN - 36416961; 7042 AB - PURPOSE: The transfer or withdrawal of federal management of the Fox River navigation system, located in east-central Wisconsin, is proposed. The existing federal project includes water levels and flows regulation responsibilities for Lake Winnebago and the Lower Fox River: the locks, dams, and channels on the Lower Fox River from De Pere to Menasha; four harbors on Lake Winnebago; channels on the Upper Fox River from Lake Winnebago at Oshkosh to its junction with the Wolf River in Lake Butte des Morts; and channels on the Wolf River from its mouth in Lake Butte des Morts to New London. The navigation was originally acquired by the federal government in 1872 in the interests of commercial navigation, but commercial use of waterways has been virtually non-existent since 1959. Today, the project provides for recreational navigation, flood control, hydropower, water supply, and environmental enhancement. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the federal government would discontinue the navigation portion of the project but would continue to operate and maintain the water level portion of the project. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), the entire navigation system would be placed in a long-term inoperable condition and transferred to the General Services Administration for ultimate disposal. Earth and stone fill would be placed in locks structures to create earthen dams, and upstream and downstream lock gates would be removed. Other lock accessories and appurtenances would be dismantled and disposed of as scrap metal. The maintenance dredging of river channels would be discontinued. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The federal government no longer has an economic interest in maintaining a commercial navigation system in the Fox River waterways, and under the preferred alternative, the federal government would abandon this effort. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The prehistoric and historic use and settlement along the Fox River corridor increases its potential to supply cultural resource data that is lacking for certain time periods. The withdrawal of federal management of navigation could put some of these cultural resources at risk.

Preparation date: August 18, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 11 JANESVILLE BYPASS (WEST) (PROJECT I.D. 1704-05-00), ROCK COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36404408; 7039 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an east-west transportation link to Interstate-90 (I-90) on State Highway 11 (STH 11), located in southern Wisconsin, is proposed. STH 11 is the primary east-west route across southern Wisconsin between Dubuque, Iowa, and the Racine and Kenosha urban area in Wisconsin. In the project area, STH 11 presently passes through the downtown area of Janesville. Travel along STH 11 in Janesville is slowed by high traffic volumes (including heavy trucks), numerous signalized intersections and driveways, and insufficient roadway capacity. The crash rate on the urban segments is nearly twice the statewide average for similar roadways. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Three of the four build alternatives would bypass Janesville to the south. Alternative 5 would involve the widening of segments of STH 11 and US 51 in Janesville, then using STH 351 to access I-90. The locally preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would follow a nine-mile bypass alignment east of Haynor Road. This alternative would use existing STH 11 to Haynor Road, then head south on new alignment along property lines east of Haynor. Near O'Leary Road, the alignment would head east to cross the Rock River just north of the wastewater treatment plant, and join Avalon Road near US 51. Like the other build alternatives, the alignment then uses STH 351 to access I-90. The estimated cost of the project is $24.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the build alternatives, traffic congestion and associated safety problems in Janesville would be alleviated. Under the bypass alternatives, traffic would be removed from populous areas, and local and through traffic would generally be separated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace four acres of parkland, one bike and recreation trail, 145 acres of farmlands, 12.7 acres of woodlands, and three residences. Two substantial surface flows would be crossed, and four farms would be severed. Two threatened and endangered species of fish have been recorded in Rock River, which would be crossed by all of the build alternatives. Approximately 1.4 acres of wetlands would be filled. The project would adversely affect two hazardous materials sites.

Preparation date: August 18, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SANTA ROSA SUBREGIONAL LONG-TERM WASTEWATER PROJECT, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36402906; 7098 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term wastewater project by the City of Santa Rosa, located in northern California, is proposed. The North Coast Subregional Control Board requires that by 1999, Santa Rosa must put in place a reclaimed water disposal solution that meets the Board's reliability requirements and existing and future capacity needs regardless of weather conditions. The solution must deal with build-out needs through the year 2010. The project would include expansion of headworks capacity (capability for pumping wastewater from the plant's intakes to treatment facilities) at Laguna Plant as well as the disposal of reclaimed water. The Laguna Plant is part of the subregional system and provides tertiary treatment for wastewater collected from the cities of Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, and Sebastopol and from the South Park County Sanitation District. The plant also treats septic waste from most of Sonoma County. The plant is currently permitted to treat 18 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater. The system currently uses a combination of reuse and discharge to dispose of reclaimed water. Reuses includes golf course, urban landscape, and agricultural irrigation on approximately 5,500 acres and management of a small artificially created wetland. Due to capacity problems, inclement weather conditions occasionally require discharge of reclaimed water to the Russian River in excess of the one percent of flow limit. The project would be designed to provide for annual disposal of 8,220 million gallons of reclaimed water. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), as well as several subalternatives, are considered in this draft EIS. All action alternatives would include expansion of the headworks pumps at the Laguna Plant. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would include urban irrigation projects in the Fountaingrove and Bennett Valley areas of Santa Rosa. The continuation of tertiary treatment would be incorporated into all alternatives. Pipelines would transport reclaimed water from the Laguna Plant to storage reservoirs and distribute stored water from the reservoirs to agricultural irrigation areas. Ten potential storage reservoirs would be included in the project alternatives, five each in South County and West County. Seven of the reservoir sites would satisfy the maximum storage requirements for the project. The reclaimed water to be discharged would be discharged to the Russian River or the Laguna de Santa Rosa. The estimated cost of the alternatives is $46.4 million to $376.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide wastewater treatment and disposal facilities to accommodate projected growth as indicated in the currently adopted general plans of each of the subregional system entities. The facilities would insure the protection of public health and safety and promote the wise use of water resources. The reclamation, recycling, and reuse of advanced treated wastewater would be maximized. The treatment and disposal of the wastewater would be accommodated under all foreseeable weather conditions. The provision of irrigation to agricultural lands would increase the gross value of the affected crops and improve the economic situation of dairy farmers due to a reduction in feed prices. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project facilities would adversely affect wetlands, cultural resource sites (including historic and archaeological sites), paleontological sites, woodland, farmland, native grassland, public open space, local creeks, the Russian River, and the Laguna. It could also adversely affect sensitive plant communities, fish-eating birds, groundwater quality, and the habitat of the red-legged frog, a federally-listed endangered species. Several dwellings would be displaced due to reservoir construction. A quarry could be removed from potential use by the placement of project facilities. Flooding could result from increased runoff due to developments within the Russian River watershed. Some pipelines would cross an active geological fault line. The construction activities would cause temporary, but significant, increases in local vehicular traffic and noise levels. The wastewater service charges to some customers would increase significantly under some alternatives.

Preparation date: August 14, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FORT BLISS MISSION AND MASTER PLAN; DONA ANA AND OTERO COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO, AND EL PASO COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 16341504; 7035 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of activities related to the operation of Fort Bliss, a multi-mission U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TADC) installation, located in southern New Mexico and southwestern Texas, is proposed. The principal mission of the installation, which encompasses approximately 1.12 million acres, is the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Center and Fort Bliss. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would include the current mission and organizations assigned to Fort Bliss as well as certain planned development and maintenance activities, are considered in this draft programmatic EIS. All action alternatives would include actions involved in the No Action Alternative as well as additional measures. Alternative 1 would add implementation of certain short- and long-term plans, construction and demolition projects, and environmental resource management plans. Alternative 2 would include the same actions as Alternative 1 as well as the use of an additional 13.5 square miles of land for controlled access field training exercise field training sites related to the TADC. Alternative 3 would include the same actions as Alternative 2 as well as other potential training capabilities envisioned in the TADC and other installation initiatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The fort would continue to support efforts necessary to the defense of national interests. Activities under the adopted alternative would assist land use planning and enhance management of the land, air space, and infrastructure of the installation to optimize its ability to support current and future missions while sustaining its stewardship of natural and cultural resources. Planning under any action alternative would provide a framework for the improvement of land use relationships in the main cantonment and enhance support of the installation's mission. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain activities related to the fort's mission could result in minor impacts to grazing on ranges within the installation, increase aircraft noise levels in certain areas, reduce safety buffers related to firing or ordnance, alter visual contexts, increase soil disturbance due to increased use of off-road vehicles, and increase in the possibly of disturbance of cultural resource sites. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 would result in increased water demand.

Preparation date: August 13, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HAMILTON WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN, HAMILTON ARMY AIRFIELD, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36408529; 7026 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of tidal salt marsh habitat at Hamilton Army Airfield (HAAF) and on the adjacent California State Lands Commission (SLC) parcel, located in northern California, is proposed. The project site is located within the San Francisco Bay Estuary in the city of Navato. The 900-acre site comprises three areas: the HAAF, a 644-acre parcel currently being closed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; a 20-acre Navy ballfield site; and the SLC parcel (also known as Antenna Field), a 250-acre parcel owned by the State of California and administered by the SLC. A large portion of these areas, which lie between Navato Creek to the north and Long Point to the south, were historically tidal wetlands. The project would return the site to seasonal and tidal wetland conditions and re-establish important ecological functions in the San Francisco Bay Estuary. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. All alternatives would involve the relocation and modification of Novato Sanitary District facilities, the construction of levees and internal peninsulas, the lowering and breaching the bayward levee, and the provision of public access facilities. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), the project would recreate tidal coastal salt marsh, seasonal wetlands, tidal pannes, and grasslands. The predominant habitat types would be tidal coastal salt marsh and seasonal wetland. The complete restoration would take place over 30 years, though site activities would only require six years. The schedule would call for two years of site preparation, one year to place 2.1 million cubic yards (cy) of dredged material for the restoration of seasonal wetlands, and three years to place 8.5 million cy of dredged material for restoration of tidal wetlands. The stages in the plan would include sediment accretion to mean high water level during years seven through 21, the development of the mean high water marsh plain during years 12 through 21, and the development of mean higher high water marsh plain during the remainder of the schedule. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The habitat restoration would provide benefits for special-status species that use San Pablo Bay by restoring the affected area to historic conditions. The use of dredged material to restore the wetland would substantially decrease the time necessary for the restored wetlands to become fully functional. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drainage capacity associated with the New Hamilton Partnership development would be reduced. The project would result in settlement of soils from fill loads for levees, sedimentation, and dredged material. Approximately 1.2 acres of brackish marsh would be lost, and an additional 2.9 acres of this habitat would be disturbed temporarily. The construction activities would temporarily disturb habitat for California clapper rails, California black rails, northern harrier, burrowing owl, saltmarsh common yellowthroat, and San Pablo song sparrow. The construction activities could also kill these individuals belonging to these species as well as chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead trout, longfin smelt, salt marsh harvest mice. Noise and particulate matter would be emitted during the construction phases of the project, and unknown cultural resources could be disturbed.

Consequently, if cyclic strengths, either from laboratory measurements performed at a confining stress of 1 atm or estimated from correlations to in situ measurements such as Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), are linearly extrapolated to higher effective confining stress levels, the calculated liquefaction resistances may be too high. The effect of confining stress on liquefaction resistance is further complicated by soil compressibility and stress history. The state-of-the-practice approach to account for the non-linear relationship between liquefaction resistance and vertical effective stress is to use published charts derived from existing laboratory data on similar materials or to determine a site specific relationship with a comprehensive laboratory testing program. Whichever approach is used, liquefaction resistance is conventionally represented as the Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR, the ratio of cyclic shear strength divided by the vertical effective stress, sigma (sub v) '). For a given soil at a given consistency and stress history, the CRR generally decreases with increasing vertical effective stress. This decrease is described by the factor K (sub sigma ) which is defined as the ratio of CRR for a given sigma (sub v) ' to the CRR at a vertical effective stress of 1 atm, CRR (sub 1) (compared at the same relative density).

Environmental remediation technology is necessarily evolving toward less expensive, less intrusive, long-term solutions. Natural attenuation may be a legitimate and sensible alternative to other remediation methods if appropriate evidence of protection for potential contaminant receptors is documented. A recent study by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) verified a regulatory attitude of potential acceptance of natural attenuation for explosives-contaminated sites (Balasco et al. 1996). This study confirmed that most regulatory agencies would accept natural attenuation given appropriate scientific, engineering, and risk assessment data. JF - Technical Report EL (Vicksburg, Miss.)

Ages ranged from 2 to 16 years, and the annual mortality was 20% for ages 7 and greater. The weight (W, g), to fork length (FL, mm) relation was W = 0.000001257 FL super(3.174) (R super(2) = 0.87). The von Bertalanffy growth equation for fork length was FL = 730(1 - e super(-0.213(t+0.972))); the equation for weight was W = 1,604(1 - e super(-0.148(t-1.841))). Mortality and mean length at age were less than has been reported for upper Mississippi River populations of shovelnose sturgeon. Knowledge of causes of mortality of shovelnose sturgeon may have applications in management of the sympatric pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus.

Frequently these problems can be averted by simply enclosing the treatment plant in a heated building. However, some wastewater technologies require cold climates to function. The freezing bed and snowmaking technologies developed in the 1980s make use of the natural freeze-and-thaw cycles of ice crystals, which exclude most impurities from the crystal as they are growing. Therefore, the freezing process can convert untreated wastewater to a mixture of pure ice crystals and impurities that are concentrated on the outside of the ice crystal. When the ice crystals melt, clean water is produced. This meltwater can be separated from the impurities by simple drainage. The concentrated impurities then can be disposed as they would be in any other separation process. The freezing bed is used to dewater sludge, and snowmaking is used to treat and store wastewater in the form of ice.

AN - 36416798; 7018 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of 1,782 acres of tidal wetlands and the creation of 48 acres of diked managed marsh on a bayland site near Collinsville, located in central California, are proposed. The land, known as the Montezuma site, lies adjacent to the Suisun Marsh and is currently used as grazing land containing uplands and non-tidal wetlands. Five alternatives, including a No-Project Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Bel Marin Keys site), facilities would be constructed to receive up to 17 million cubic yards of dredged materials from ports and navigation channels in the San Francisco Bay estuary and to distribute the dredged materials over this site. The soils on the site subsided after the construction of the original levees. The deposition of dredged materials would raise the subsided land surface back to an elevation level at which marsh could be established. After the subsided baylands had been filled, the levees would be breached to enable tides to ebb and flow over the constructed foundation of tidal channels and low marsh plains. The project would be undertaken in four phases in order to minimize temporary losses of wetlands during construction and to facilitate engineered placement of dredged materials. The dredged materials would be off-loaded from barges and placed in cells until elevations suitable for self-sustaining marsh were reached. The dredged materials from the bay would consist of 80 percent cover sediments and 20 percent non-cover sediments. The project would involve construction of a barge offloading and sediment distribution facility, a sediment rehandling facility, internal levees to contain dredged sediment slurry pumped to the site, a main and branch tidal system, a sub-drainage system, and ancillary facilities. The sediment rehandling facility would be used to dry sediments for off-site sales as well as on-site deposition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore a large tidal marsh ecosystem, supporting abundant wildlife, fish, estuarine production, and diversity of marsh species and habitats. It would also provide significant capacity for disposal of sediments dredged from Bay area ports and navigation channels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would remove 1,650 acres of grazing land from agricultural land use and remove 541 acres of industrial zoned land, resulting in a revenue loss for the county. Approximately 245 acres of uplands leased by a hunting club would be displaced by tidal marsh. Project activities could create mud waves, which would deform the marsh and increase the chance of releasing contaminants. Contaminants would accumulate in the holding pond and, if discharged to the Montezuma Slough or Sacramento River, violate water quality standards. The planned inundation of the area would displace the federally-protected salt marsh harvest mouse. Construction could alter or eliminate vernal pool habitats and affiliated species on the site. Grading and excavation in areas of historic and prehistoric uplands could adversely affect buried cultural resource sites and buried artifacts.

AN - 36407866; 7020 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a demonstration project for agricultural water supply, groundwater management, and conservation in eastern Arkansas is proposed. The Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project, which would also include waterfowl management components, has been prompted by depletion of the alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas due to extensive agricultural use. The study area comprises 25 percent (13,400 square miles) of the state land area and includes all or portions of 24 counties. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are addressed in this draft EIS. The selected plan would provide a combination of conservation, groundwater, on-farm storage, water importation, and environmental measures. More specifically, the tentatively selected plan (Alternative 7B) would include a 1,640-cubic-foot-per-second import system to divert excess flows from the White River, 8,849 acres of new on-farm irrigation reservoirs, on-farm tailwater recovery systems, restoration of prairie vegetation, and annual flooding of 38,525 acres of harvested rice fields for waterfowl use. To mitigate impacts associated with the construction of the import system, 193 acres of cleared land would be acquired in fee title and planted in upland hardwood trees and 243 acres of agricultural land would be acquired in fee title and planted in bottomland hardwood trees. The estimated first cost of the project is $270.5 million (at October 1996 levels). The estimated average annual costs are $29.3 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a supplemental source of irrigation water, the plan would incorporate conservation measures to allow for stabilization of the alluvial aquifer. The diversions from the White River would provide an average of 243,900 additional acre-feet of irrigation water annually. The river diversions combined with the groundwater withdrawals and conservation practices would initially meet the annual irrigation demand of 481,195 acre-feet. Mussel and other fisheries in the area would be enhanced. The plan would provide $8.1 million in annual net benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 71 acres would be directly and adversely affected by project construction, including 54 acres of upland hardwoods, and 31 acres would be lost to permanent structures. Approximately 121 acres of wetland would be adversely affected, 64 of which would be affected permanently. Four acres of prairie would be adversely affected, and 245 acres of wildlife habitat would be eliminated. The construction of the import system and the irrigation reservoirs would result in the loss of 12,644 acres of farmland. The plan would leave an unmet irrigation demand of 59,791 acre-feet for the year 2015 and beyond. Beginning in the year 2015, the annual aquifer withdrawals would be limited to long-term sustained yield (35,574 acre-feet), which would allow recharge.

Preparation date: July 31, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 63 CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, PHELPS COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 16353359; 7013 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided roadway within the Route 63 corridor, located in south-central Missouri, is proposed. The corridor runs from north of the Rolla city limits to the vicinity of Vida near Route W. The project would also include potential improvements to Interstate 44 (I-44) through the city limits of Rolla and Route 72 within Rolla. In general, across the state, existing Route 63 consists of a rural, two-lane roadway with regular shoulders. In the study area, a large portion of the route lies within the Rolla city limits, most of which consists of a three- or five-lane section flanked by curbs and gutters and providing little or no control of access. From the northern city limit to I-44, Route 63 is a four-lane facility with limited access control. From I-44 to Fourteenth Street, Route 63 is a three-lane section, incorporating a continuous left-turn lane. A five-lane section currently runs from Fourteenth Street to Route CC. Outside Rolla, Route 63 was designed as a four-lane facility from the Maries County line to approximately one mile north of Rolla and constructed, in 1983, partially as a four-lane roadway and partially as a two-lane roadway within a four-lane right-of-way. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred Route 63 improvements (the West Hybrid Alternative) would extend from a point 0.5 mile north of I-44 to a newly proposed interchange with I-44, thence along a reconstructed section of I-44 for a distance of four miles to a second newly proposed interchange on I-44. Route 63 would then leave the I-44 alignment and continue on new alignment to a point on existing Route 63 near Brays Lake, a distance of two miles south of the Rolla city limits. On this new alignment, Route 63 would be constructed as a two-lane roadway within a right-of-way sufficient for construction of a four-lane facility. The project would also include an extension of Route 72 and improvements to existing Route 63 through Rolla. A transportation system management alternative is also under consideration. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $69.6 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.22. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve existing and anticipated traffic congestion and improve safety within the corridor. Total vehicle miles traveled during the movement of goods and persons within the region would decline. Emergency vehicle response times would also decline. Highway improvements would provide regional continuity based on currently planned Route 63, I-44, and Route 72 improvements along adjacent roadway segments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way acquisitions would displace 39 conventional residences, four mobile homes, 28 multi-family units, and 20 businesses. Eleven businesses would be adversely affected due to loss of parking facilities. Four public use facilities would be displaced. Highway development would also affect 6,070 feet of stream, 1.5 acres of ponds and lakes, 0.15 acre of jurisdictional wetland, 32.68 acres of floodplain, 5.2 acres of riparian forest, 190 acres of upland forest, and 41.5 acres of prime farmland. One previously recorded archaeological site and 16 historic sites would be adversely affected, and 17 sites which would have some potential for containing hazardous waste would be traversed.

AN - 16342386; 7014 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1.5-mile transportation corridor through downtown Nashville, located in north-central Tennessee, is proposed. In the past two years, many entertainment and food establishments have opened in the downtown area, adding to the area's traffic congestion problems. The proposed action would involve the construction of a multilane, east-west highway corridor through the downtown area, linking the roadway to the interstates that pass through downtown Nashville, improving selected intersections, and building a crossing of the Cumberland River. Currently, the study corridor consists of two one-way streets. Demonbreun Street provides eastbound movement from I-40 across the Railroad Gulch to Fourth Avenue. Shelby Avenue is a two-way facility from I-65 across the river to Fourth Avenue, where it become McGavock Avenue. The Shelby Avenue bridge has been determined to be structurally deficient and in need of substantial repairs. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 7 would provide a one-way pair of streets using the existing Demonbreun Street (westbound) and Franklin/Shirley streets (eastbound) alignments. The alignment would utilize a new six-lane bridge crossing the Cumberland River south of the Thermal Transfer Corporation. The roadway would be a seven-lane facility between First Avenue and Second Avenue. Alternative 8 (the preferred alternative) would involve the construction of a six-lane roadway with a 40-foot median along the Franklin/Shirley alignments. A six-lane bridge would be constructed in the same location as Alternative 7. A seven lane structure crossing the Railroad Gulch south of Cummins Station would be built and the existing Demonbreun Street viaduct would be demolished. Both alternatives would involve the demolition of the Shelby Avenue Bridge. The estimated construction costs are $48.5 million for Alternative 7 and $52.7 million for Alternative 8. Some local residents support keeping the Shelby Street bridge in place for use by pedestrians and bicyclists. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve access to the Nashville downtown area, reduce traffic congestion, remove and replace an unsafe bridge, and provide transportation linkages for future development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements for Alternative 7 and Alternative 8 would displace 25 and 24 businesses, respectively.

Preparation date: July 29, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOS ANGELES COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA WATER CONSERVATION AND SUPPLY, SANTA FE-WHITTIER NARROWS DAMS FEASIBILITY STUDY, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 16338686; 7008 AB - PURPOSE: The resumption of operations of the Santa Fe and Whittier Narrows dams by the Los Angeles County Drainage Area (LACDA) of California is proposed. The dams constitute two of the five federal flood control dams in the LACDA. Santa Fe Dam is located in the northeastern San Gabriel Valley on the San Gabriel River approximately four miles below the mouth of San Gabriel Canyon. Whittier Narrows Dam is located approximately seven miles downstream of Santa Fe Dam and spans both the San Gabriel River and the Rio Hondo. Current Los Angeles County water needs are met through local water supply and imported water. It is estimated that one-third of this need is met through local supply (storm runoff) and reclaimed water, the remaining two-thirds being imported. According to recent public statements by officials of the Metropolitan Water District, available normal-year supplies for Southern California will fail to meet demand sometime around the year 2020. The chief purpose of the modifications to dam operation would be storage of water until downstream spreading grounds can accept it, thereby increasing water conservation yields. Stored water would be released for groundwater recharge at a rate matching the downstream recharge capacity. The water would then become available for withdrawal during peak demand periods (summer and drought years). The overdraft condition in the basins has been stabilized due to control of pumping and increased water conservation efforts, including introduction of imported and reclaimed water. Issues addressed include water conservation benefits, flood control, real estate requirements, land use, recreation resources, and environmental and cultural resources. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The selected plan for Santa Fe Dam, which is the locally-preferred plan (Alternative 3B), would allow for storage of water to elevation 463.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). Releases would occur at a rate equivalent to the San Gabriel River channel recharge capacity downstream of the dam. The annual increase in water conservation yield over the No Action Alternative would be 2,400 acre-feet per year. A levee approximately 1,269 feet would be constructed to protect the recreation area, including the lake, and scarce alluvial fan scrub habitat located north of the lake from inundation. The selected plan for the Whittier Narrows Dam (Alternative 2), which is also the NED plan and the locally preferred plan, would allow for storage of water to elevation 209 NGVD. Releases would occur at the recharge rate of the downstream spreading grounds. The annual increase in water conservation yield over the No Action Alternative would be 2,900 acre-feet per year. Durfee Avenue would have to be raised to protect recreational facilities when the seasonal/buffer pool was at its maximum elevation of 209 feet and to allow uninterrupted use of the road. Borrow areas for the levees associated with each dam would be graded to support riparian habitat to mitigate inundation impacts. First costs for the selected plans for the Santa Fe and Whittier Narrows dams reoperation facilities are estimated at $5.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The estimated annual operating costs are $63,000 and $298,000, respectively. The estimated benefit-cost ratios are 1.3 and 1.0, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expected increase in groundwater recharge from local runoff would primarily offset increased purchase of costly imported water and/or allow increased pumping to occur while maintaining basin levels. Both sites would attract waterfowl and other water-dependent wildlife to water conservation and seasonal/buffer pools and incidental development of wetland and/or riparian habitat at higher elevations due to increased availability of water. Storage of storm runoff would tend to improve the quality of water released from the reservoirs, and increases in groundwater recharge would improve groundwater quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A water treatment plant, certain recreational facilities at Whittier Narrows and 18 oil wells would be inundated. Water storage could adversely affect alluvial scrub plant communities, an extremely rare habitat found only in southern California. Extended or frequent inundation of riparian habitat during growing season would result in some habitat loss and reduction in species diversity in the remaining riparian habitat. The operation of the dams during nesting season (April through July) could adversely affect least Bell's vireos, a federally-listed endangered species. Nine other federally-listed endangered species could occur at one or both project sites. Extended storage periods would increase potential for creation of anaerobic conditions. Total sediment load deposited in the reservoirs would increase. Increases in groundwater levels caused by storage could adversely affect nearby residences. If water were held for longer than two weeks (as little as one week in warm weather), mosquito breeding could constitute a health hazard.

Preparation date: July 27, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MISSISSIPPI RIVER MAINLINE LEVEES ENLARGEMENT AND SEEPAGE CONTROL, CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI, TO HEAD OF PASSES, LOUISIANA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1976). AN - 16351117; 7005 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures along certain sections of the Mississippi River between Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. In April 1976, the Army Corps of Engineers published a final EIS that outlined flood protection measures for a Project Design Flood (PDF) in the Mississippi River basin, defined as the greatest flood having a reasonable probability of occurrence. The plan included levees to contain floodflows, floodways to pass excess flows past critical reaches of the River, channel improvements and stabilization to provide efficient navigation alignment and increase flood carrying capacity, and tributary basin improvements. This draft supplement to the final EIS assesses the effectiveness of current flood protection measures and the need for mitigation measures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Plan 1), are considered in this draft supplement. The Nonstructural Alternative (Plan 2) would emphasize the purchase of easements in the floodplain). One structural alternative (Plan 4, the recommended alternative) would maintain PDF levels of protection. The plan would involve 31.8 miles of levee enlargement and 74.3 miles of seepage control construction in the Memphis District, 216.8 miles of levee enlargement and 57.4 miles of seepage control in the Vicksburg District, and 14.2 miles of levee raising and 0.1 mile of berm construction in the New Orleans District. Approximately 6,727 acres of borrow areas would be designed to enhance aquatic habitat and fishery values and wildlife habitat. The acquisition for reforestation of approximately 5,863 acres of frequently flooded agricultural lands would be undertaken to mitigate environmental losses. Riverside borrow areas would be relocated in order to reduce damages to bottomland hardwood forested areas. An estimated 3,041 acres of borrow areas would be reforested in the Vicksburg and Memphis districts. There would be no new levee construction under this plan. The estimated first cost of the recommended plans is $656.0 million. The estimated fully-funded costs are $911.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, some levees along the Mississippi River would be reconstructed to reflect flood and hydrological data collected since the 1970s, significantly improving flood protection. In addition to fully compensating wetland losses, mitigation measures would compensate 252 percent of terrestrial habitat losses and 412 percent of waterfowl habitat losses. Mitigation lands would provide a net gain of 4,070 acres of bottomland hardwoods and 6,727 acres of aquatic habitat over the life of the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The planned construction under the recommended plan would adversely affect 7,340 acres of wetlands and 4,834 acres of bottomland hardwoods, a significant loss of habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. Approximately 9,002 acres of farmland would be lost. During construction, noise would increase, as would dust and traffic disruption.

Preparation date: July 24, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BLUESTONE LAKE DAM SAFETY ASSURANCE PROJECT, HINTON, SUMMERS COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36407330; 7003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of structural modifications to the Bluestone Dam, located on the New River just upstream of Hinton in southern West Virginia, is proposed. The structure consists of a concrete gravity dam, spillway, stilling basin, and outlet works through the spillway section. The total reservoir capacity of Bluestone Lake is 631,000 acre-feet (af) at maximum flood control pool elevation of 1,520 feet, equivalent to 1.59 inches of runoff. The dam is constructed to withstand floodwaters resulting from a storm generating an inflow of up to 430,000 cubic feet per second (cfps). New calculations by the National Weather Service indicate that the probable maximum flood event in the project area would generate an inflow of up to 1.1 million cfps. A maximum flood event, if it were to occur in the river basin, would displace 13,469 persons and cause downstream damages amounting to $1.7 billion. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would raise and strengthen the existing dam, while using the six existing penstocks to allow additional discharge capacity. The dam would be raised 13 feet to sustain a pool elevation of 1,546.8 feet and safely withstand a maximum flood event. Additional features would include a 13-foot cantilever wall on top of the dam, an additional gravity monolith on the east abutment, a floodgate closure across West Virginia Route 20 on the west abutment, removable closures at each end of the spillway, mass concrete thrust blocks topped with overburden placed against the downstream face of the dam, a pavement for scour protection downstream of the penstocks, and 309 high-strength, multistand anchors placed in the dam itself. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $91 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the flood protection capacity of the Bluestone Dam by 250 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The New River and the Bluestone area support a unique and irreplaceable set of ecological resources. Sensitive species of terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates and sensitive plant species within and adjacent to the construction area would be adversely affected. Some 12 state-listed sensitive species would be adversely affected. The maximum pool level in Bluestone Lake would be raised by 14.8 feet, extending the floodpool 41 miles upstream of the dam to a point near Bluff City, Virginia, adversely affecting 4.5 miles of river. Periods of inundation would range from one to two days; however, a 500-year flood event would be required before any of the structural features of Alternative 3 would be employed. Surface water quality of the New River and Bluestone lake would be degraded by runoff during construction.

AN - 36406579; 6991 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 10-mile bypass of United States Route (US) 70 from its junction with Interstate 40 (I-40) to US 70 Business, located in eastern North Carolina, is proposed. The project study area encompasses 50 square miles extending south from US 70 to Swift Creek. The four-lane, controlled-access facility would bypass the town of Clayton and provide a vital link in the Intrastate Highway System designed to support statewide growth and economic development. US 70 connects Raleigh, Smithfield, Goldsboro, Kinston, New Bern, and Morehead City, and provides access to the Morehead City port and the Bogue Bank beaches. The section of US 70 around Clayton is heavily developed with a mixture of residential units, and retail and commercial businesses, and the existing four-lane highway is often congested. A global air transpark is planned for construction along US 70. Goods manufactured at the site would be loaded onto cargo planes and flown to their destination. US 70 would be the major surface transportation to Raleigh and Morehead City. The bypass would connect US 70 traffic with two major traffic carriers, I-40 and the future outer loop around Raleigh. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under each of the build alternatives, the project would involve construction along a new alignment south of existing US 70. The project would require four to five grade separations and involve constructing a separate interchange with I-40, NC 42, State Route (SR) 1560, and US 70 Business. Under Alternative II, Alternative IIA, and Alternative IIB, the I-40 interchange would be located roughly 2.9 miles south of the existing US 70. Under Alternative III (the preferred alternative), the interchange would be located four miles south of the existing US 70; under this alternative, the facility would maintain a more southernly route throughout its length. Under Alternative 3, four grade separations are proposed at SR 1525, SR 1554, SR 1555, and SR 1563. Under each of the build alternatives, the facility would connect with US 70 Business at the same location. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $80.0 million, while the estimated right-of-way, relocation, and utility costs are $96.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a system link between two major highways in the central region of the state, separate local from through traffic, reduce traffic congestion, and improve safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 28 residences, including five residences housing minority households, three businesses, 41 acres of nontidal wetlands, 15 acres of open space, 96.6 acres of farmlands and 70.3 acres of soils of statewide importance, and 266 acres of woodlands. The alignment would cross 21 streams. A total of 68 receptors would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards.

Preparation date: July 13, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 16/UNION AVENUE VICINITY TO SR 302 VICINITY, TACOMA, PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36390643; 6983 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 12 miles of State Route (SR) 16 extending from Union Avenue in Tacoma to the SR 302 exit in Purdy, located in western-central Washington, is proposed. The project corridor includes the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. SR 16 is a four-lane principal state highway. Within the project area, peak and non-peak travel demand between Interstate 5 (I-5) and the Kitsap Peninsula and at the Tacoma Narrows crossing is substantially greater than system capacity. Three alternatives, including a No Action alternative (Alternative 1), which would involve the implementation of presently proposed system improvements, are considered in this draft EIS. The only differences distinguishing the improvement alternatives would involve the Tacoma Narrows crossing. Improvements along the SR 16 mainline would consist of an additional lane in each direction throughout the entire project corridor that would operate as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Existing lanes would operate as general purpose lanes. Improvements related to the Tacoma Narrows crossing would principally involve construction of either a second deck on the existing bridge (Alternative 2) or a new parallel suspension bridge (Alternative 3) as well as reconfiguration of the existing bridge deck, and an automated, high-speed electronic and manually operated toll plaza in the vicinity of 24th Street NW. The preferred bridge alternative is Alternative 3. Other major improvements would include a split interchange at 36th Street NW and 32nd Street NW, stormwater facilities throughout the corridor, the expansion of park-and-ride facilities, bus service improvements, and the closure and the relocation of an existing commercial road providing access to SR 16 in the vicinity of Haven of Rest Cemetery between the Rosedale Street NW overpass and 96th Street NW (Bujacich Road). The estimated costs of implementation of Alternative 1, Alternative 2, and Alternative 3 are $19.0 million, $449 million, and $408 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would help achieve the goals of the State Highway System Plan for the period 1999-2018 with respect to Washington State Department of Transportation Puget Sound Core HOV lane strategies. The project would provide a direct continuation of the HOV lanes planned as part of the I-5 Core HOV project on I-5 and the Nalley Valley Bridge, which would end near SR 16 and Union Avenue in Tacoma. Diversion to arterials and other roadways adjacent to SR 16 would decline, traffic capacity within the corridor would increase, and safety on the narrows crossing would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative considered, federal noise and air quality standards would be violated. The construction of the second bridge would require activity within and above the Tacoma Narrows, adversely affecting water quality. Under the preferred alternative, the development of 93.8 acres of right-of-way for the project proper and approximately 10 acres for provision of new access to the Haven of Rest Cemetery would displace 29 residential units, 14 businesses, one publicly owned park, 58 acres of grassland habitat as well as small areas of shrub habitat, grassland and mixed forest habitat, forest habitat, and wetland. The habitat for bald eagles could be adversely affected, and activities associated with the bridge could adversely affect Chinook salmon. During the 52-month construction period, traffic flows would be impeded at some locations. The project could conflict with the planned SR 16 non-motorized trail. Noise barriers could adversely affect visual aesthetics in the vicinity of the structures, and the new bridge would alter the historic setting of the existing bridge. Hazardous waste sites would be encountered during the construction.

Preparation date: July 8, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RED HILLS POWER PROJECT, CHOCTAW COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36406532; 6979 AB - PURPOSE: The purchase of electric power by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) from the Red Hills Generation Facility (RHGF), located in northeastern Mississippi, is proposed. The lignite-fueled generation facility would be constructed and operated by Choctaw Limited Partnership; the lignite would be provided by the Mississippi Lignite Mining Company. The 440-megawatt (MW) (500 MW gross) powerplant and lignite mine would be located within a 9,300-acre study area near the Town of Ackerman. The RHGF would employ two circulating fluidized bed boilers feeding a single steam turbine and would be designed to be co-fired with wood waste for up to five percent of the maximum boiler heat input. The plant would use a wet mechanical draft cooling system, requiring 633,000 gallons per day of raw water to replace cooling tower evaporation and for other facility uses. Water would be drawn from underground sources. The plant would operate as a zero-discharge system except for stormwater runoff. Mining operations would take advantage of six of the nine seams of lignite occurring within the Red Hills area. Due to seam thickness and layering, the composition of overburden, and the energy content of the lignite, surface mining constituted the only practical extraction method. Lignite would be mined from a series of successive, rectangular pits averaging 110 acres in extent. Mining would move from north to south. Diesel or electric shovels, large dozers, and a dragline with a 79-cubic-yard capacity bucket would remove overburden. Dozers and a diesel-powered hydraulic backhoe would remove the lignite and place it into large dump trucks. Reclamation activities would incorporate overburden replacement methods and topsoil substitution. Power generated by the RHGF would be transmitted via 10.3 miles of double-circuit 161-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the facility to TVA's existing substation in Sturgis, Mississippi. Six miles of 69-kV line and a new substation near Ackerman would be constructed to provide power for lignite mining operations. The RHGF facility would require up to 19,000 cubic feet per minute of natural gas during startup of the main boiler and to heat the auxiliary boilers. A single eight-inch pipeline would be built and operated by the Town or Wier and/or the Mississippi Valley Gas Company for this purpose. Construction of the RHGF would commence in the fall of 1998 and continue through the year 2000; the facility would commence operation in the first quarter of the year 2000. Mine area developments would begin in late 1998 and lignite mining would commence in mid-2000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The generation facility would help TVA meet the growing demand for electric power in the region. The Red Hills facility would be located within the planned EcoPlex Industrial Park, which provides sites for greenhouse, aquaculture, and pulp mill facilities. In order to achieve efficient energy consumption, industries locating in the EcoPlex would use steam, carbon dioxide, and ash from the generation facility. The construction and operation of the powerplant and operation of the mine would provide substantial employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In addition to the 390 acres required for the generation facility, including 66 acres of pasture and cropland, the lignite mine would impact 1,900 acres during initial construction and 3,800 acres over 30 years, including 1,834 acres of prime farmland. Transmission lines would displace 114 acres of timber. A total of 45 five residences, several other structures and three small ponds could be displaced. Terrestrial habitat associated with this land would be displaced. Six state-listed rare plant and three state-listed rare animal species would be adversely affected. A moderate drawdown in the aquifer would occur due to plant operations, but effects on local wells be insignificant. Some 3.5 acres of wetlands would be eliminated during facility construction and 18 wells and springs could be eliminated by lignite mining. Mining activities could adversely affect seven archaeological sites during the first five years of operation, and later mining could adversely affect one cemetery. Several roads would require closure or relocation during mining operations.

Sediment budget analysis was used to examine the medium-scale (years to a decade) variability of the beach-nearshore profile from 1981 to 1991. Significant changes occurred during four groups of energetic storm events during February/March of 1983, 1987, 1989 and December 1989. Each group was comprised of at least two storms within a period of less than 39 days both with H (sub mo) >4m. During each storm group, offshore sediment movement caused a distinct outer bar to migrate offshore and grow in size resulting in an abrupt increase in the volume of sediment on the upper shoreface. The net profile changes were much larger than the changes due to single storms and the cumulative effect of the storms can be considered as one "event". During these events, the first storm appears to have a destabilizing effect on the profile which has insufficient time to recover before the second (and subsequent) storm(s). As a result, several storms in quick succession are able to have a large impact on the morphology. The intervening periods between the groups of storm events (termed fairweather conditions) lasted up to 4 years. They are characterized by slow, but steady sediment redistribution (averaging 33 m (super 3) m (super -1) year (super -1) ) from the upper shoreface (>5m depth) toward the shore, while the total sediment volume was effectively constant. The onshore feed of sediment was not significantly affected by individual storms during the fairweather conditions. These two processes of (1) morphologic change during groups of storm events and (2) the steady onshore feed of sediments from the shoreface during fairweather conditions appear to play an important role on medium- and long-term profile evolution at least at Duck.

Technical guidance for modeling the subsurface transport of TNT is needed to support Department of Defense goals for cleanup at these sites. Important aspects of this guidance include identification of significant processes involved, development of descriptors for those processes, and estimation of parameters used to quantify descriptors. This report describes application of the one-dimensional, semianalytical solute transport model to laboratory soil column (LSC) data for the analysis of TNT breakthrough curves (BTCs) and elution curves. The semianalytical model incorporates linear and nonlinear reaction terms into the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation for solute transport and thereby allows more complicated process descriptors to be evaluated than do the available analytical models. Like the available models, the semianalytical model is readily implemented on desktop computers using commercially available mathematical software and is simpler to use than numerical models. The semianalytical model was applied to TNT BTCs obtained from four soils and to a TNT elution curve for a contaminated soil from a military installation. Process descriptors for sorption and transformation were investigated using the semianalytical model, and parameters for quantifying the process descriptors were estimated by fitting the semianalytical model to the LSC data. TNT BTCs for three of four soils were simulated adequately with equilibrium sorption and pseudo first-order transformation. Nonlinear descriptors for sorption (Freundlich and Langmuir) provided better fits to the data than a linear sorption descriptor, primarily because of the ability of the nonlinear models to capture tailing observed in the BTCs.

Nitroaromatic explosives are known to be strongly adsorbed by soils, with as much as 20 to 50 percent of radio-labeled explosives not extractable in controlled degradation studies. This suggests that adsorption of explosives and explosives degradation products onto soil components renders them unavailable to conventional extraction methods. The mechanism of sorption to soil components has been investigated in order to properly address the ultimate fate of explosives contamination. Trinitrotoluene undergoes reductive degradation in which nitro groups are animated to produce aminotoluene compounds. The final compound predicted by this reduction scheme is triaminotoluene. This reaction pathway results in intermediate degradation products of trinitrotoluene which act as weak bases. Protonation of these weak bases produces organic cations which are capable of sorption onto soil components. Sorption experiments were performed to determine the behavior of explosives and explosive by-products on pure clay minerals. X-ray diffraction studies measuring the interlamellar distance of expandable clays show an expansion as contaminants are bound to the clay, indicating displacement of interlayer cations. This intercalation of compounds of environmental interest within the interlamellar regions of expandable clays is an important geochemical event with implications toward a number of environmental disciplines including subsurface contaminant transport, risk assessment, contaminant bioavailability, site remediation, and natural attenuation.

Destructive testing is not always a feasible alternative since it can be both time-consuming and expensive. When applicable, NDE can result in considerable savings. However, a standard evaluation method for estimating the compressive strength (CS) of concrete from NDE measurements does not currently exist in the United States, and new measurement standards are needed. One of the goals of the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program is to identify, develop, adapt, improve, and verify NDE technologies for accessing the condition of concrete structures in the field. The investigation described in this report was selected because it met the research goals of REMR Work Unit 32638, "Nondestructive Evaluation Systems for Civil Works Structures," and was of mutual interest to Oxnard, CA, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The work described herein was conducted by the Concrete and Materials Division, Structures Laboratory, U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), with field support contributed by Oxnard.

Within the REMR program is a group of projects dedicated to the development of computerized maintenance management systems for coastal and inland waterway navigational structures. The general intent of these REMR Management Systems is to provide maintenance managers at all levels with tools to promote easier and more effective maintenance and budget planning. Additional objectives are to create uniform procedures for assessing the condition of structures and to create assessment methods that will allow the condition of structures, and their parts, to be expressed numerically to take best advantage of the benefits available from the use of microcomputers in maintenance management. The computer program described here is the initial version of the computer program for maintenance management of coastal structures. This version is a companion program for the Condition and Performance Rating Procedures for Rubble Breakwaters and Jetties, developed as part of REMR Work Unit 32672. JF - Technical Report.

AN - 36413892; 6974 AB - PURPOSE: The documentation of conditions at the Chicago area confined disposal facility (CDF) at Calumet Harbor, located in Chicago, Illinois, is presented, along with proposals for improvements to the CDF. The CDF was constructed in 1983-1984 to contain contaminated sediments unsuitable for open-lake disposal dredged from the federal deep-draft navigation channels in the Chicago River, the Chicago Harbor, and the Calumet River and the Calumet Harbor. The CDF has a capacity of approximately 1.3 million cubic yards, and currently holds approximately 400,000 cubic yards of sediment. Dredged material was placed in the CDF on six occasions between October 1984 and December 1994. When filled to capacity, the CDF would be capped, seeded, and turned over to the local sponsors (Chicago Park District and Illinois International Port District). After the CDF's impermeable synthetic liner was damaged during construction, a sand blanket was installed in its place to prevent migration of sediments through the dike wall. This draft supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 on the construction of the CDF documents existing conditions at the CDF; discrepancies between the project as presented in the final EIS and the project as operated during 1984-1997; the absence of adverse environmental impacts associated with project operation; the proposed improvements to the water quality monitoring plan; the proposed plans for managing vegetation at the CDF to prevent adverse impacts to wildlife habitat, including habitat for endangered species; the proposed plans for managing sediment in the CDF to prevent adverse impacts to wildlife, air quality, and public health; and the proposed improvements to the operating plan. Changes in the operation would involve the filtration system, monitoring wells, dredging and disposal methods, sediment management systems, vegetation controls, management of dredged debris (timber, automobile, cables, etc.), security and signing, and control of spills during disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of the CDF would ensure the safe containment of contaminated materials currently placed in the facility and to be placed in the facility in the future, allowing maintenance of the Cook County channels and perpetuation of safe navigation on the associated rivers and harbors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some cottonwood trees would be removed. Site surveys would identify any threatened or endangered species of birds nesting in the trees. Cutting would be undertaken only when it was certain that no such species were present.

AN - 16341446; 6969 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the approximately 15-mile-long segment I-2 of the State Highway 99 (SH 99), the Grand Parkway, located in southeastern Texas, is proposed. The project would complete the area's regional mobility plan. The parkway was conceived in 1960; SH 99, along with SH 146, would form a circumferential loop around Houston. Upon completion, SH 99 would also provide access and increased mobility to areas without current access to the freeway network, expedite implementation of thoroughfare plans in various areas in support of business and residential growth, provide freeway capacity in those areas requiring additional emergency evacuation routes during hurricanes, and provide a central city bypass, relieving existing congestion. Segment I-2 would form a corridor intersecting SH 225 approximately 19 miles southeast of Houston and Interstate 10 (I-10) (East) approximately 29 miles east of Houston. Prevailing land uses in the study corridor are farming, ranching, and industrial activities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would follow an alignment which would utilize existing lanes and the Fred Hartmann Memorial Bridge between the SH 225/SH 146 intersection and Missouri Street. From Missouri Creek, I-2 would improve SH 146, Spur 55, and part of Fisher Road to a controlled-access facility and then turn north across undeveloped land to intersect with I-10. Segment I-2 would be constructed as a four-lane, at-grade arterial in a 300- to 400-foot right-of-way; ultimately the roadway would be expanded to six lanes. The estimated construction costs are $51.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Segment I-2 would respond to current and projected area transportation needs, using existing roadways to the maximum practical extent. It would also reroute long range trips away from SH 146 through Baytown; this would shorten travel time, provide an alternate route for hazardous cargo, and reduce peak hour congestion. Bridges and other structures for stream and other channel crossings would not alter local drainage patterns. Under the preferred alternative, land from a publicly-owned park, recreation area of wildlife or waterfowl refuge would not be used. There are no known areas of unique scenic quality in the project vicinity; and no known archaeologic or historic structures would be disturbed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would involve the acquisition of 586 acres. Some four acres of wetlands would be adversely affected. Vegetative communities, including wooded areas and farmland, would be removed; some floral and faunal populations would be destroyed. Noise exposure within the immediate project area would increase. Segment I-2 could contribute to higher regional ozone concentrations.

AN - 36406492; 6959 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of three leach facilities and a waste rock disposal facility by Cyprus Miami Mining Corporation in order to support the continued operation of the company's copper mining operation, located near Miami in east-central Arizona, is proposed. The existing facilities at the mine include leaching facilities, open pits, solution collection reservoirs, a solvent extraction facility, an electrowinning plant, and waste rock disposal facilities on both private and public lands. The complex also includes a smelter, electro-refinery, and a rod plant. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the facility expansion would enable the applicant to maintain the current level of operations of the mine for 16 to 20 years, producing an average of 29 million tons per year. The three leach pads would be used for the placement and subsequent leaching of copper-bearing ore mined from reserves owned by the applicant. Material placed on the pads would be rinsed with sulfuric acid solutions, and the resulting copper-bearing solution would be collected and treated at the existing solvent extraction and electro-winning plants to produce high-quality cathode copper. The waste rock area would be used for storing the uneconomic nonmineral material removed from the mining pits. The expansion would also require the construction of access and haul roads, solution pipelines, and surface water control structures. The facilities would be constructed on 286 acres belonging to the applicant, 350 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management, and 489 acres managed by the Forest Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enable the mine to continue operating at its current level to the year 2008, at which point its work force would be reduced by 10 percent each year. Under the No Action Alternative, those workforce reductions would commence in 1998. The continued operation of the mine would provide $1.1 billion in tax revenue to Gila County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would disturb 771 acres of public land and result in the loss of 9.22 acres of open water, drainages, and wetlands. Some seven acres of riparian vegetation would be lost; eleven ponds, tanks, or artesian boreholes could be lost, seven springs would be covered, and water would be rerouted; and 18 water sources covered by the facilities. Aquifer water quality standards could be exceeded for a short distance down-gradient of leach facilities. There could be a minor increase in hazardous materials.

Preparation date: June 18, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT C-51, WEST END FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 16353676; 6947 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan for the C-51 Basin, a 164-square-mile area south and west of the city of West Palm Beach in southern Florida, is proposed. Under most conditions, the existing C-51 Canal drains the entire basin's runoff from Water Conservation Area 1 eastward to Lake Worth Lagoon, but every two to three years the urban and agricultural areas in the western portion of the C-51 Basin are flooded as a result of storms. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The authorized plan would incorporate conventional flood control measures with the construction of a stormwater treatment area (STA), a component of the Everglades Construction Program. The facilities would include a 6,505-acre above-ground STA detention treatment area with interior and perimeter levees, and seepage return and internal distribution canals, along with an inflow pump station with a nominal discharge capacity of 3,600 cubic feet per second (cfs), and an outflow pump station with a nominal discharge capacity of 3,740 cfs. The western third of the C-51 Canal would be widened progressively from 30 to 70 feet east to west, and deepened as well. Dredged material would be used to build up the canal bank berms. A gated spillway would be constructed in the C-51 Canal, with a nominal discharge capacity of 1,000 cfs. The construction of the spillway would include temporary discharges of fill material into C-51 to plug the canal on both sides of the spillway site, the dredging of a bypass canal in the uplands south of the spillway site, and the discharge of fill material as structure backfill at the spillway site. The two canal plugs would be removed when the spillway work was complete, and the bypass canal would be refilled. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would provide for ten-year flood protection to the western portion of the basin and 30-year protection to the eastern portion, reduce harmful discharges of freshwater to Lake Worth Lagoon, and improve the quality of water draining into the Everglades and the Arthur R. Marshall National Wildlife Refuge. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, approximately 6,465 acres of agricultural fields would be converted to a stormwater treatment marsh. The planned construction would adversely affect 140 acres of federally regulated wetlands. The canal widening would eliminate 17 acres of littoral vegetation.

AN - 16338601; 6949 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the maintenance of the existing Columbia River and Lower Willamette River navigation channel, located in Oregon and Washington, is proposed. The proposed action would cover operations over the next 20 years. A navigation channel has been maintained in the Columbia River since 1878. The current 40-foot deep and 600-foot wide channel, which was authorized in 1962 and completed in 1976, extends from river mile (RM) 3.0 to RM 106.5 on the Columbia River, and to RM 11.6 in the Willamette River. The following port districts are located within the project area: Astoria, Saint Helens, and Portland in Oregon; and Longview, Kalama, Woodland, Wahkiakum, and Vancouver in Washington. The project area also includes adjacent lands used for the disposal of dredged material as well as existing ocean disposal sites. Issues of concern include the effects of dredging and dredged material disposal on whales, sea turtles, sea lions, and salmon. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS of September 1975. The proposed action (Alternative 4) would include the use of 18 upland disposal sites (1,158 acres) and one beach nourishment site (151 acres) at Miller Sands Spit. Pile dikes for beach stabilization would be constructed at Miller Sands Spit and along Wallace Island and Jones Beach on Westport bar. The bulk of the maintenance dredging would be done using the Port of Portland's pipeline dredge and a hopper dredge owned by the federal government. The proposed action would differ from current maintenance practices through the elimination of most shoreline disposal practices, increased disposal at existing upland sites, the limiting of flowland disposal to the 45-65-foot depth range, the construction of pile dikes for beach stabilization, and the ocean disposal of lower Columbia River sediments on completion of new site designation process. The estimated cost of the proposed plan is $94.3 million over 20 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region and to shippers. The 40-foot channel would reduce the number of vessel trips and per-ton shipping costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The widening of the navigation channel between RM 28 and RM 33 and the construction of the pile dike field would disrupt benthic habitat, a potential food source for juvenile salmonid. Undeveloped reach recreation sites would be lost as a result of the disposal plans.

AN - 36414007; 6946 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of navigational channels in Brunswick Harbor, located in southeastern Georgia, is proposed. Brunswick Harbor is located in an estuary on the Atlantic coast, 80 miles south of Savannah, Georgia, and 70 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida. The existing channel ranges from 27 to 32 feet deep at mean low water (MLW) and 350 to 500 feet across, except at Lanier Bridge where its width is 200 feet. The existing channel depths constrain vessels from using the port to their design capacity. Issues associated with deepening the channel include potential salt water intrusion into the aquifer; the effects of dredging on endangered and threatened species, and beach erosion on Jekyll Island and Saint Simons Island; and the potential introduction of contaminated sediments into Brunswick River, Turtle River, and adjoining creeks. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 36, the National Economic Development Plan) would involve deepening the channel to 36 feet in the inner and upper harbor and to 38 feet in the bar channel, widening the channel at the Sidney Lanier Bridge to 400 feet, widening the Lower Turtle Range (approximately 10,000 feet of channel) from 300 to 400 feet, expanding the Lower Turtle turning basin to 2,500 by 1,150 feet, constructing a turning basin in the Upper East River (1,100 by 1,100 feet), raising the dikes around the Andrews Island confined disposal facility from 26 feet at MLW to 35 feet at MLW, placing material dredged from the inner and outer harbor into the Andrews facility, placing material dredged from the Bar Channel into the existing ocean disposal site and into a series of submerged berms, and constructing a submerged berm off the northern end of Jekyll Island. The estimated first cost of the project is $46.52 million; the estimated federal share of that cost is $32.08 million. Benefit-cost ratio for the project is estimated at 1.67. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels at Brunswick Harbor, the project would reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, reduce tidal delays, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: One acre of Spartina saltmarsh would be lost for each alternative. The preferred alternative would require the disposal of 15.9 million cubic yards of dredged material and the filling of 18.1 acres of wetlands. The dredging would destroy benthic organisms. The dike raising on Andrews Island would displace nesting habitat. There could be a temporary loss of wildlife benefits on the Andrews Island confined disposal site.

AN - 36416866; 6941 AB - PURPOSE: The production of oil by BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. (BPXA) from the Northstar Unit offshore of the Point Storkersen area in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea is proposed. BPXA's action would involve a self-contained offshore development and production facility located on a gravel island in 39 feet of water. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under BPXA's proposed action (Alternative 2), the island would be constructed over the remains of Seal Island, built by Shell Oil Company to conduct exploratory activities within the Northstar Unit during the 1980s. Two pipelines buried in a single trench, extending from Seal Island to existing onshore facilities, would transport hydrocarbons to and from the Northstar Unit. The pipelines include a 10-inch common carrier pipeline from Seal Island to Pump Station Number 1 to transport sales quality oil to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System and a second 10-inch pipeline to transport high-pressure gas from the Central Compressor Plant in the Prudhoe Bay Unit to Seal Island to assist with the gas cycling process used to deplete the Northstar reservoir. BPXA determined that the Northstar Unit contains approximately 145 million barrels of recoverable, high quality crude oil. The production facilities on Seal Island would be designed to produce up to 65,000 barrels of crude oil and 500 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day. The facilities would include 15 producing wells, seven gas injection wells, and either one or two Class I waste disposal wells. Approximately 700 to 800 tankers trips per year departing the Valdez marine terminal are required to accommodate current North Slope production; the production of reserves from the Northstar reservoir would require the operation of additional tankers from the Valdez terminal. Over the life of the project, approximately 181 to 198 additional tanker trips would be required. All of the action alternatives would include the same offshore development and production facility; the differences distinguishing the action alternatives involve routing and other aspects of the pipeline system. The preferred alternative (Alternative 5) would use a pipeline buried within a causeway rather than a trench and a landfall at West Dock. The Northstar project would be the first offshore oil and gas development and production facility in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea without a causeway to shore and the first to include a connection to onshore facilities by a buried subsea pipeline. The risks of oil spills from the offshore island and the pipeline system exposed to ice hazards demanded in-depth analysis. Moreover, response limitations for oil spills under sea ice or in broken ice, and concerns regarding effects of such spills, also required attention. Finally, the effects of long-term year-round offshore oil and gas development and production activities, particularly noise emissions, are of particular concern with respect to their impact on subsistence activities. The life of the Northstar Unit development would extend approximately 15 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Oil produced by the Northstar Unit would help satisfy meet national energy requirements, and the development and production activities would employ 730 workers during construction and 25 workers during the life of the project. The project would contribute $520 million in gross state revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 5 would result in 3.1 miles of onshore pipeline on currently undeveloped land. Helicopter maintenance of the pipeline would disturb wildlife, particularly brand nesting areas. Noise and activity associated with the operation of the Seal Island facility, and related vessel transport operations, could result in bowhead whale avoidance response during migration periods, potentially adversely affecting subsistence hunting activities. The project facilities would mar area aesthetics. Alternative 5 would present a risk of 19 percent of a large oil spill (greater than 1,000 barrels).

AN - 36406321; 6939 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control improvements in the lower Yuba Basin and sections of the Feather River, located in north-central California, is proposed. The project area includes the Yuba River south levee between levee mile (LM) 10 and the river's confluence with the Feather River (Reach 1), the east levee of the Feather River from its confluence with the Yuba River south to LM 15 (Reach 2), and the ring levees around the City of Marysville (Reach 3). Flooding has occurred in the project area since the mid-1800s when hydraulic mining began washing immense quantities of sediments into the rivers and streams, reducing channel capacity. The levees along the Yuba and Feather Rivers were constructed as part of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project authorized in 1917. Despite the presence of the levees, damaging floods occurred in 1950, 1955, 1986, and 1997. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended plan would involve the construction or deepening of 6.7 miles of slurry walls, the deepening of nine miles of interior toe drains, and the modification of 9.5 miles of berms along sections of the Yuba River and Feather River in reach 1 and reach 2. In addition, the plan would involve the construction of about five miles of slurry walls and berms along the ring levees around the city of Marysville in reach 3. The plan would provide reach 1 and reach 2 with flood protection from a 1-in-200 annual event, and reach 3 with flood protection from a 1-in-300 annual event. Estimated first cost of the plan implementation is $25.8 million, annual costs are estimated at $2.06 million; however, net annual benefits would be 3.3 million dollars. The estimated benefit-cost ratio for all three reaches is 2.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would address the need for flood control and flood damage reduction in the lower Yuba Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As a result of construction activity, 2.23 acres of woodland habitat would be lost, potential habitat for three sensitive species in the area: the giant garter snake, Swainson's hawk, and valley elderberry longhorn beetle. Approximately 12.79 acres of prime farmland, 1.27 acres of unique farmland, and 4.4 acres of statewide important farmland would be displaced. Overall, project works would adversely affect 30.34 acres of land. The construction activities would emit significant levels of noise.

The site was a gasoline station located at the edge of Crissy Field, a former wetland adjacent to San Francisco Bay. The wetland was filled in for the 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition and used as an airfield beginning in the 1920s. Now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the area is being restored to reflect historical conditions, including a freshwater riparian corridor through the site. Migration of the gasoline plume in alluvial and beach deposits has been retarded by interbedded fine-grained organic-rich estuarine deposits (bay muds) and an upward gradient. The plume has stabilized after migrating approximately 250 feet northward toward the bay in preferential pathways in the first waterbearing zone. Gasoline concentrations have fluctuated seasonally but decreased only slightly over five years of monitoring. The site's location at the transition from an alluvial to estuarine geologic setting complicates the demonstration of biodegradation using geochemical signatures. Site-wide low concentrations of electron acceptors (dissolved oxygen and nitrate) and high concentrations of biodegradation byproducts (methane and dissolved iron and manganese) appear to be primarily the result of microbial biodegradation of naturally-occurring organic carbon. The effect of the fuel on the groundwater chemistry is more subtle and largely masked. Primary lines of evidence (plume length and fuel concentrations) must be relied upon more than secondary lines of evidence (intrinsic biodegradation parameters) in demonstrating natural attenuation at this site.

The model is composed of two modules: flow and transport. Three options are provided in modeling the flow module in river/stream network and overland regime: the kinematic wave approach, diffusion wave approach, and dynamic wave approach. The kinematic and diffusion wave approaches are known to be numerically robust in terms of numerical convergency and stability, i.e., they can generate convergent and stable simulations over a wide range of ground surface slopes in the entire watershed. The question is the accuracy of these simulations. The kinematic wave approach usually produces accurate solutions only over the region of steep slopes. The diffusion wave approach normally gives accurate solutions over the region of mild to steep slopes. However, neither approach has the ability to yield accurate solutions over the region of small slopes, in which the inertial forces are no longer negligible compared with the gravitational forces. The kinematic wave approach cannot even address the problems of backwater effects. On the other hand, a dynamic wave approach, having included all forces, can theoretically have the potential to generate accurate simulations over all ranges of slopes in a watershed. A total of eight groups of example problems were given in this report to demonstrate the capability of this model. Continuing work is underway to incorporate a three- dimensional subsurface flow and chemical transport model into this watershed model.

Production estimates were compared to estimates of benthic consumption by blue crabs, shrimp, and epibenthic fish. There was no evidence that dredged material disposal had a detrimental impact on benthic production; however, production was low throughout the entire bay the year following dredged material disposal, which may have obscured an assessment of the impact of disposal. In fact, disposal sites yielded both the highest production estimates and species richness in both the upper and lower bay areas 2 yr after disposal. Of the five estimation methods used, two that incorporated environmental parameters (temperature and depth) yielded similar and moderate results, ranging from 1.1 g ash-free dry weight m super(-2) yr super(-1) to 26.9 g ash-free dry weight (AFDW) m super(-2) yr super(-1) over the 4 yr studied. Daily food ration estimates applied to fishery-independent trawl-survey data yielded overall benthic consumption estimates ranging from 1.1 g AFDW m super(-2) to 1.7 g AFDW m super(-2). A second method of estimating consumption, which used transfer efficiency estimates and annual fisheries statistics produced slightly lower benthic consumption estimates (0.72-1.13 g AFDW m super(-2)). The average consumption estimate exceeded benthic production in the upper bay in one of the 4 yr for which benthic production was estimated. In years with high benthic production, the estimated benthic food requirement of epibenthic predators was roughly 10-15% of benthic production. Variation in annual benthic production estimates was two to three times greater than the variation in consumption estimates.

AN - 16338513; 6920 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of deep-draft navigational facilities for Oakland Harbor, located on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay in northern California, is proposed. The Port of Oakland is the largest port on the San Francisco Bay, and the fifth largest container port in the United States. The existing navigation channels in the Inner and Outer Harbor are maintained at 42 mean lower low water (MLLW), a channel depth that cannot accommodate the latest generation of vessels when fully loaded. The Port of Oakland has begun to lose cargo traffic to other ports because of the inadequacy of its channel depths. Two dredging alternatives and a No Project Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve the dredging and disposal of 12.8 million cubic yards of bottom sediments from channel and berth areas. Federal navigation channels would be dredged to a depth of 50 MLLW; the affected areas include the Oakland Bar Channel and Approach, the Outer Harbor Channel, and the Inner Harbor Channel from the Bar Channel to just past the Howard terminal. As the local sponsor, the Port of Oakland would be responsible for deepening selected berths to the required depth. In addition, the Outer Harbor turning basin would be deepened and enlarged to a 1,600-foot diameter, and the Inner Harbor turning basin would be deepened to a 1,500-foot diameter. The project would also require modifying the Bay Area Rapid Transit anode structure and cable, and lowering or relocating the Navy's Alameda sewer pipeline. Eight disposal/reuse options are under consideration, including ocean disposal and the aquatic fill for shallow-water habitat enhancement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By deepening the navigation channels, improving channel configuration, and widening the new turning basins, the project would reduce the potential for vessel collisions and groundings, permit more efficient vessel operations, reduce tidal delays, and provide economies of scale benefits for waterborne commerce. The project would also improve efficiencies in navigation and provide safer channels for existing deep-draft vessels calling at the harbor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter from dredging and disposal activities would exceed the best available control technology trigger levels. Short-term nutrient enrichment caused by potential elevated concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in the dredged material could increase water turbidity by enhancing primary production. Turbidity from the dredging could disrupt herring spawning. There could be slope instability along wharf banks after developing.

AN - 16345712; 6912 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a storm damage reduction project for the barrier island of Long Beach, located in southeastern New York, is proposed. The barrier island is a nine-mile-long island located on the Atlantic Coast of Long Island, between Jones Inlet to the east and East Rockaway to the west. The shoreline includes the communities of Point Lookout, Nassau Beach, Lido Beach, and the city of Long Beach, within the town of Hempstead, in Nassau County. The area has been subject to major storms, causing damage to structures along the barrier island. Continued erosion has reduced the height and width of the beach front, further increasing the potential for storm damage. Nine alternatives are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 5), the project would involve widening the existing beach with the placement of hydraulic fill, the rehabilitation of 15 of the existing groins at Long Beach, and the construction of six groins west of Point Lookout at Lido Beach. This approach would maintain a 110-foot berm width along the shoreline from west of Point Lookout to approximately Yates Avenue. The berm would have a height of ten feet, supplemented by a dune system with a height of 15 feet. An offshore borrow area located approximately 1.5 miles south of the project area would be used as a sand source. The initial construction and four renourishments occurring over a 50-year period would require 28.24 million cubic yards of sand. The construction of the groins at Lido Beach would require 100,000 tons of armor stone and 30,000 tons of bedding stone. In addition, some 68,000 tons of stone would be needed to rehabilitate the 16 groins at Long Beach. The No Action Alternative was eliminated from consideration because it would not alleviate the existing serious beach erosion problem and storm damage threat. The estimated annual cost of the project is $8.9 million, and the benefit to cost ratio is 1.9. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would counteract the effects of storm-induced and long-term erosion of beachfront in a heavily residential area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Both the fill and borrow sites would experience short-term losses of benthic habitat and short-term adverse water quality effects. Bird and fish use of the shoreline area for feeding would be disrupted. Some significant damage to commercially viable surf clam beds could occur.

AN - 16343134; 6913 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of facilities for light-draft vessels at Ma'alaea Harbor located on Maui, Hawaii, is proposed. The federal portion of the improvements would consist of modification of the entrance channel, south breakwater, turning basin, and main access channel and addition of a revetted mole. Five alternatives are considered in this final supplement to the final EIS of September 1980. This second supplement provides information on the results of harbor sediment sampling and coral reef surveys; the further evaluation of an alternative previously considered and rejected and again rejected in this EIS, including additional details regarding safety and navigation factors, further comparison of alternatives, and additional detail regarding surge and wave studies; the status of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National marine Sanctuary; threatened and endangered species potentially affected by the project; the updated status of compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the mitigation features of the plan; and revised figures to reflect design modifications accurately. The total estimated construction costs are $9.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would reduce the surge within the harbor basin, reduce navigation hazards in the entrance channel, and provide the opportunity for the addition of commercial and recreational berthing space and attendant harbor facilities. The project would also improve the existing harbor support facilities and increase the number of berths from 89 to 220. Approximately 1.5 acres of useable habitat would be created by construction of the breakwater extension. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the dredging and filling of approximately 11.48 acres of marine habitat, including 4.7 acres of coral reef. One surfing site (Off-the-Wall) and a small sandy beach inside the harbor would be lost. The 24-hour harbor flushing rate would be reduced from 50 percent to 38 percent. The improvements would increase harbor use, and increased use would further degrade water quality within the basin. Ongoing deposition of sediments into the harbor would occur, and turbulence from boat traffic would resuspend fine sediments. Increase navigational activities would pose a hazard to humpback whales and green sea turtles.

AN - 16342449; 6902 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of natural resources damaged by long-term industrial pollution in New Bedford Harbor, located in southeastern Massachusetts, is proposed. The project area includes the Acushnet River watershed, south through the Acushnet River Estuary and New Bedford Inner and Outer Harbors, out to the Area III fishing closure line, and adjacent shoreline areas. New Bedford Harbor is a small, urbanized estuary and important commercial port on western Buzzards Bay. From the late 1940's until 1977, manufacturers in New Bedford discharged industrial wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and toxic metals in the harbor and nearby coastal environments, resulting in widespread, severe contamination of the sediments, water column, and biota of the harbor estuary and parts of Buzzards Bay. Dredging of these contaminated sediments is presently underway and is expected to last ten years. Without the proposed restoration effort, the recovery of the harbor ecosystem would take decades or longer. The plan developed by the New Bedford Harbor Trustee Council contains 11 preferred alternatives and a No Action Alternative for restoring marshes and wetlands, recreational areas, and wildlife. Major restoration projects would include the hydrologic restoration of Padanaram Salt Marsh, the alteration of a culvert in the harbor to improve tidal exchange, recreational and habitat improvements to Fort Taber Park and Riverside/Belleville Avenue Marine Recreational Park, the restoration of eelgrass habitat at New Bedford Harbor and Clarks Cove, and the restoration of shellfish, the Acushnet River herring run, and Buzzards Bay tern. A plan for the hydrologic restoration of Nonquitt Marsh was deferred in response to public comment on the draft EIS. The plan would be financed through a $21.0 million fund established as a result of settlements between the federal government, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the companies responsible for polluting the harbor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By beginning restoration activities while cleanup was still underway, the proposed action would accelerate the return of the harbor ecosystem to its pre-pollution condition. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There would be temporary traffic congestion and noise pollution due to construction.

AN - 16338443; 6904 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 50 miles of US Route (US) 60 east from Route U, four miles east of Willow Springs, to a point 2.42 miles west of Van Buren, located in southern Missouri, is proposed. The existing route consists of two 12-foot lanes with shoulders varying in width from three feet to 10 feet. At-grade intersections are located at all crossings of state numbered or lettered routes, county roads and private drives. Route 60 is used to transport goods across the central United States and up to 21 percent of the existing traffic is comprised of trucks, in addition to tourist travel to the Mark Twain National Forest. Traffic volumes are expected to triple by the year 2022, and the existing highway conditions would operate near a level of service of F, or unstable traffic flow, stop-and-go movements, and long queues in the traffic stream. Six discrete segments were identified during the planning project and five build alternatives were developed, including a No-Build Alternative. Under the proposed action, the highway would be improved to a four-lane, divided, limited-access facility and partly realigned. The facility would consist of a 24-foot pavement in each direction separated by a variable width median. Interchanges would be provided at Business Route 60, west of Mountain View, Route Y at Mountain View, Route 99 and FF at Birch Tree, and Route 19 at Winona. An expressway design would be implemented along those segments where existing US 60 was followed and along sections and along sections proposed on new location through the Mark Twain National Forest and through Freemont. A freeway design would be implemented for bypasses around the communities of Mountain View, Birth Tree, and Winona. Each alternative offers alignment variations. The benefit-cost ratios range from 1.05 to 1.2. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative (Alternative E) is $188.6 million to $194.5 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.2. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of capacity to US 60 would improve safety and travel efficiency for traffic traveling through southern Missouri and a portion of the Mark Twain National Forest. An expected three-fold increase in traffic on the route would be accommodated. US 60's heavy commercial truck traffic would be supported more appropriately, contributing to the economic development of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way acquisition of 1,109 acres under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 51 residences, 11 businesses, 450.6 acres of farmland, 179.3 acres of National Forest System land, 1.5 acres of wetland, 566.6 acres of woodland, and 44.5 acres of floodplain.

AN - 36411510; 6895 AB - PURPOSE: The reevaluation of a previously authorized flood control project on the Trinity River in the southeastern sector of the city of Dallas, Texas, is proposed. Flood control alternatives and recommendations previously developed by the Army Corps of Engineers were reevaluated based on the current level of economic development as well as ecological values. Prior to reevaluation, the project was to have involved construction of two 1,200-foot-bottom-width swales extending downstream from the end of the existing Dallas Floodway to approximately 2,000 feet below Loop 12; the swales were to be separated at Interstate 45 (I-45). Public opposition to the plan arose based upon its impacts to forested areas along the Trinity River. Based on the investigations performed and pending the outcome of technical, policy and public review of this document, the currently recommended plan for flood control would consist of construction of off-channel flood controls swale incorporating environmental restoration in the form of a chain of wetlands and standard project flood (SPF) levees on both sides of the river. The upper and lower swales would be separated at I-45. The upper swale, with an average bottom width of 400 feet, would extend from Cedar Creek to the oxbow lake at I-45, a distance of 1.5 miles. The lower swale, with an average bottom width of 600 feet, would extend from I-45 to Loop 12, a distance of 2.2 miles. The lower swale would be aligned to pass through Linfield Landfill and Sleepy Hollow Golf Course to minimize impacts to forested areas and nearby residential neighborhoods. Excavated wetlands would be added as environmental restoration features within the footprint of the swales. An earthen levee, extending 2.9 miles from the existing Dallas Floodway East Levee to the Rochester Park Levee, would be provided to protect Lamar and a levee and floodwall system, extending 1.1 miles from near Cedar Creek to the Central Wastewater Treatment plant would be provided to protect Cadillac Heights. The recreational facilities which would be included in the project design would consist of hike and bike trails, equestrian trails, canoe launches and pavilions. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $67.2 million, plus $23.1 million for the previously constructed portions of the project, totaling $90.3 million. The estimated overall benefit-cost ratio is 1.82. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would provide flood control and recreational opportunities within southeastern Dallas. As compared to the previously recommended plan, the currently recommended plan would cause far less damage to pristine bottomland hardwood forest. The currently recommended plan would result in no net loss of wetland. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Residential structures in the Roosevelt Heights and Floral Farms subdivisions would be displaced.

Preparation date: May 8, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN PEDRO CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407975; 6897 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for San Pedro Creek, located in Pacifica just south of Daly City and north of the town of Montara in northern California, is proposed. San Pedro Creek is located in the southern portion of Pacifica and provides drainage for the San Pedro Valley; this watershed has an area of approximately eight square miles. The creek discharges into the Pacific Ocean approximately 12 miles south of San Francisco. The lower portion of the creek has flooded on several occasions since the 1950s, most recently in 1986. The 1986 flood resulted in significant damage to public structures, including approximately 300 homes and commercial buildings. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would seek to protect structures in the lower portion of the creek's drainage (particularly an area between Highway 1 and Adobe Drive) and to restore a former wetland that was lost due to past development in the area. More specifically, it would involve replacing the Adobe Bridge with a modified two box culvert design and incorporating fish passage structures and wet and dry box culverts designed to handle normal and peak flows, installing a large underground pipe beginning at Adobe Bridge to divert a portion of the creek flow in a neighborhood that has flooded in the past, constructing a floodwall behind Linda Mar shopping center and an earthen berm immediately upstream, creating an above-ground excavated floodway on the south side of San Pedro Creek and an eight-acre riparian habitat on both sides of Highway 1 through which San Pedro Creek would meander, and connecting some existing storm water culverts with the proposed diversion pipeline. The pipeline would be 2,800-foot-long concrete box culvert designed to handle floodwaters at 3,500 cubic feet per second. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would substantially reduce the flooding potential along the lower portion of the creek and also improve biological habitat. There would be a net gain average of annual habitat units for riparian forest, riparian scrub-shrub, and riparian aquatic habitats. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project construction would have temporary but significant adverse impacts on water quality, biological resources, aesthetics, noise, and transportation. Some residents would be temporarily relocated during construction. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Flood Control Act of 1948 (33 U.S.C. 701s).

Preparation date: May 8, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STREAMBANK PROTECTION FOR THE LOWER AMERICAN RIVER, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36404322; 6896 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of streambank protection measures at critical eroding sites along the lower American River to protect the flood control levee system in the metropolitan area of Sacramento, located in north-central California, is proposed. Over the years, rock bank protection has been installed on nearly 25 percent of the streambanks along the federal-levee reach, which extends about 21 kilometers upstream of the confluence with the Sacramento River to the confining bluffs in the Goethe Park area. Ongoing bank erosion threatens to undermine levees in at least five locations in the reach. If this erosion were not checked, it could result in the collapse of levees during periods of high water, leading to catastrophic loss of life and property. The proposed action would involve revegetating these areas with dense plantings of native riparian species and irrigating them for the establishment period. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative for each site would involve filling outward from the eroding banks to preserve remaining floodplain vegetation. Site One is located in a downtown industrial area, in the vicinity of three bridges. Complex local hydraulics caused by the bridges has resulted in bank erosion, which has encroached into the levees throughout much of the site. The preferred alternative would involve cobble-covered low berms with scalloped shorelines in the middle and downstream portions and a rock-covered fill slope in the upstream portion. Site Two is located near the closed city landfill, just downstream of the Business 80 bridge on the south bank. In this site a fabric-covered low berm with a scalloped shoreline would be developed. Site Four is an old cobble revetment along the edge of the California State University campus. Erosion has damaged the revetment, and little or no berm separates the bank from the levee slope. In this site, a cobble-covered straight low berm to the existing cobble revetment would be constructed. This final EIS is related to a December 1991 EIS on the American River Watershed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bank protection measures would provide necessary protection to flood control levees along the lower American River and reduce risks posed by a significant flood event. Recreation safety would be improved at some sites by the removal of steep, eroding banks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A considerable amount of truck traffic to and from bank protection sites would be required for the importing of rock and fill materials. Construction activities would have short-term effects on traffic, air quality, noise levels, and vibration. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 8, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH SACRAMENTO COUNTY STREAMS INVESTIGATION, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36414136; 6889 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood protection measures in the south Sacramento area, located in north-central California, is proposed. The study area, which extends from the Sacramento Valley to the lower foothills of the Sierra Nevada, is part of the larger watershed for Morrison Creek. Streams in these foothills flow west, join Morrison Creek and its tributaries, and drain into Beach-Stone Lakes on the west. Part of the study area lies within the Sacramento city limits while the rest lies in areas to the south and east of the city. The study area includes Morrison, Elder, Unionhouse, and Florin creeks as well as the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the North Beach Lake levee. The area has a long history of flooding during a heavy rainfall, and recent floods have damaged residences, businesses, and agricultural land and have disrupted transportation and public facilities. Local runoff from the Morrison Creek watershed causes flooding due to limited channel capacities and bridge restrictions and contributes to the flood volume in the Beach-Stone Lakes area. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The NED plan (Alternative 2) would involve constructing sheetpile walls or floodwalls on levees or incised channel banks along portions of Morrison, Elder, Florin, and Unionhouse creeks; retrofitting bridges along those same creeks; raising and widening the North Beach Lake levee from the Sacramento River to Unionhouse Creek and the west levee of Morrison Creek from Unionhouse Creek to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR); constructing floodwall or sheetpile wall on a portion of the North Beach Lake levee immediately east of Interstate 5; placing a stop log structure at the UPRR crossing at Morrison Creek; and constructing a sheetpile wall on the west side of the Morrison Creek levee between UPRR tracks and Franklin Boulevard; and raising and extending the ring levee around the treatment plant. The revised NED plan, as presented in this final EIS, would increase the floodwall height along all four creeks below Highway 99. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce storm damage and associated economic losses in the Morrison Creek watershed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the permanent loss of 0.11 acres of riparian scrub and 0.23 acres of emergent marsh, disturbing the habitats of Swainson's hawk, burrowing owl, Sanford's arrowhead, and northwestern pond turtle. The potential for hazardous waste contamination at North Beach Lake would exist. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Beach profiles and breaking waves were measured together with the sediment sampling. The experiments were conducted on beaches with various sediment composition ranging from well-sorted fine sand to poorly sorted gravel and shell debris. The cross-shore variation of sediment mean grain size ranged from less than 1 phi to significant variation of up to 3.5 phi . The resultant database contains 99 vertical grain-size profiles, composed of 99 bottom samples and 552 trap samples taken throughout the water column and at 29 different locations along the southeast coast of the United States and the Gulf coast of Florida. A homogeneous vertical profile of mean grain size and grain-size distribution pattern was found on most of the beaches with a wide range of sediment sizes. The homogeneous vertical profile, representing 92% of the measurements, was found on all morphological features: swash zone, breaker line, mid-surf zone, trough, and bar. A homogeneous distribution indicates that the vertical mixing mechanism in the water column of the surf zone is independent of sediment size ranging from fine sand to fine pebbles. Bottom sediment, represented by an 8-cm core sample, was generally coarser than the sediment trapped in the water column.

AN - 36411287; 6874 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental restoration project, with incidental recreational features for the Rio Salado/Salt River, located in the cities of Phoenix and Tempe in central Arizona, is proposed. Restoration efforts are required due to upstream water projects which have curtailed year-round water flows and converted the once perennial Salt River into a dry riverbed devoid of habitat. A 33-mile reach of the river was studied during the reconnaissance phase of the project; however, after discussions with representatives of the cities of Phoenix and Tempe, the non-federal sponsors, two specific sites were identified as of immediate interest. The first site is located in Tempe on reaches of the Indian Bend Wash and the Salt River. The second site is a five-mile reach of the Salt River located entirely within Phoenix. Desired habitat within these two reaches include mesquite upland, cottonwood and willow habitat, wetland marsh, aquatic strand and scrub habitat, and open edges. Integral to the restoration of riparian habitat is the provision of sufficient water to irrigate the desired vegetation. Several alternative water sources and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. Groundwater was selected as the source most appropriate for restoration activities within both of the identified reaches. The restoration within the Phoenix reach of the Salt River would provide irrigation for 130 acres of mesquite upland, 99 acres of cottonwood and willow habitat, 58 acres of wetland marsh, 51 acres of aquatic strand and scrub habitat, and 187 acres of open edges. The restoration within the Indian Bend Wash in Tempe would provide for 20 acres of mesquite upland, 50 acres of aquatic strand and scrub habitat, and 10 acres of open edges. Within the Salt River corridor of the Tempe area, the restoration would provide for 10 acres of mesquite upland, 20 acres of cottonwood and willow habitat, 16 acres of wetland marsh, and 24 acres of open edges. The non-federal sponsors expressed a desire to increase passive recreational opportunities incidental to the restoration project; these would include facilities for viewing, picnicking, education and exploration by foot, horseback, and bicycle. The estimated first cost of the selected restoration plan is $91.2 million, which includes $6.0 million for the Tempe component and $79.6 million for the Phoenix component. Annual operations and maintenance costs for the restoration plan are estimated at $3.2 million, which includes $377,000 for the Tempe component and $2.8 million for the Phoenix component. The estimated costs of construction of the recreational facilities incidental to the restoration components are $686,000 and $4.9 million for the Tempe and Phoenix facilities, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected project approaches would provide riparian habitat, marginal surface and groundwater quality improvement from well-head treatment and the natural filtering ability of wetland vegetation as well as incidental aesthetic and recreational enhancements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction activities would result in short-term disturbances to vegetation and soils and temporary noise emissions and disruption of vehicular traffic. The spread of tamarisk from established riparian areas could have a significant adverse impact on the integrity of the restored habitats. An increase in the extent of standing water could result in an increase in mosquito breeding. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1938 (P.L. 38-761).

AN - 16356623; 6869 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of ecosystem restoration measures and new water uses for the Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) on the Green River, located in King County, Washington, is proposed. The Department of the Army's Corps of Engineers (Corps) HHD Project was originally authorized as the Eagle Gorge Dam and Reservoir by the Flood Control Act of 1950. The construction of the dam was completed in 1962. The HHD is a subsidiary earth-filled structure composed of rock fill, sand and gravel core, drain zones, and rock shell protection. The embankment is 235 feet high and 500 feet long and has an inclined core of sand and gravel material. The dam is 960 feet thick at the base decreasing to 23 feet thick at the crest. The total length of the dam is 675 feet. The intake structure also includes trash rack bars, a deck for debris removal, one tractor type emergency gate, and gate hoist equipment located in the gate tower. There are four buildings on the project site, and gravel-surfaced roads provide access to the dam, stilling basin, intake structures, and the reservoir. The primary authorized use of the project is flood control. Three secondary uses are also authorized, such as the augmentation of summer low flows in the Green River, irrigation, and water supply. For flood control, the facility provides a 106,000 acre-feet (maximum) reserve volume behind the dam to store watershed runoff. This space is reserved for the storage of water during the peak flooding seasons. Water is released in a regulated flow that ensures downstream stability. The current reservoir refill and conservation strategy was developed as a result of drought conditions in 1992 and has been continued because of its success. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action would involve the restoration of fish passage through the HHD so that harvestable runs of salmon and steelhead would be returned to the Green River. Other ecosystem restoration features would include management of riparian forests, planting of water-tolerant vegetation, and gravel nourishment of fish passages. In addition, 22,400 acre-feet of water would be stored in the reservoir for municipal and industrial uses within the Puget Sound area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the storage of the reservoir would help to meet the water supply needs of the Puget Sound Area, while the proposed ecosystem restoration measures would help restore anadromous fish to the Green River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir expansion would inundate 281 acres in Phase I and 161 acres in Phase II; the displaced acreage would include seven acres of forested wetlands.

AN - 16343025; 6859 AB - PURPOSE: The continued operation of an open-pit gold mine by the Golden Sunlight Mines, Inc., and the expansion of the present open-pit mine, located in central Montana, are proposed. The mine is located on public and private lands along the southern flank of Bull Mountain, five miles northeast of Whitehall. Mineral exploration and small-scale underground mining were conducted at the site from 1890 until 1958. Mining resumed at the site in 1983, although these new mining operations involved the use of cyanide vat leaching and other processes that would economically extract ore from low-grade, large-tonnage resources. In September 1994, a Montana District Court ruled that an expansion of the mine could not proceed unless an EIS was prepared. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of November 1997. The proposed action would allow mining to continue in the area until the year 2006 and would expand the pit, waste rock dump areas, and buttress area. Sheep Rock Creek would be diverted into a tributary of Conrow Creek to prevent water from contacting acid-generating waste rock. The mine's permit area would expand to include an additional 1,054 acres, and tonnage processed at the mine would increase from 34.1 million tons to 55 million tons. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would forestall closure of the mine and provide continued employment to its work force of 208 workers. If the mine were to continue operating through 2011, it would contribute $484.1 million in economic benefits to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pit dewatering, surface water diversions, tailings impoundments, and waste rock dumps would adversely affect surface water and groundwater quality. Of the 2,964 acres disturbed by mining operations, some 259 acres would not be revegetated and reclaimed following mine closure; approximately 627 acres of the disturbed area is associated with the mine expansion. Mine operations would result in the loss of habitat for roosting bats and migratory birds. The waste rock dump sites would create a visual contrast with the surrounding countryside and might limit access to potential fossil-bearing deposits.

Thermohaline and 3D convection systems AN - 16408394; 4325662 AB - This work continues the analysis of variable density flow in groundwater systems. It focuses on both thermohaline (double-diffusive) and three-dimensional (3D) buoyancy-driven convection processes. The finite-element method is utilized to tackle these complex non-linear problems in two and three dimensions. The preferred numerical approaches are discussed regarding appropriate basic formulations, balance-consistent discretization techniques for derivative quantities, extension of the Boussinesq approximation, proper constraint conditions, time marching schemes, and computational strategies for solving large systems. Applications are presented for the thermohaline Elder and salt dome problem as well as for the 3D extension of the Elder problem with and without thermohaline effects and a 3D Benard convection process. The simulations are performed by using the package FEFLOW. Conclusions are drawn with respect to numerical efforts and the appropriateness for practical needs.

AN - 36406310; 6846 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of shoreline protection and restoration activities for the Delaware Coast from Cape Henlopen to Fenwick Island, including Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach, located in southern Delaware, is proposed. Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach are extensively developed shore communities which play a principal role in the state's tourism industry. Significant beach and dune erosion has left these communities vulnerable to storm damages with reduced recreational opportunities. Severe storms in recent years have caused a reduction in the overall beach height and width along the study area, which, along with the absence of suitable dunes, exposes the towns of Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach to catastrophic damage from ocean flooding and wave attack. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of October 1995. The proposed action would involve beach nourishment using sand obtained from a 1,120-acre offshore borrow source on Hen and Chickens Shoal. Beach nourishment will consist of berm and dune restoration. This plan would require placement of approximately 1.43 million cubic yards (cy) of sand for initial construction with 360,000 cy anticipated for periodic re-nourishments every three years over the next 50 years of project life. The plan includes placing fill along approximately 13,500 linear feet (lf) of beach. The project would taper into the existing shoreline, in the north end at Deauville Beach and in the south end at North Indian/Indian Beach. The dune would be planted with dune grass, and would also contain 16,400 lf of sand fence, delineated walkovers, and vehicle access ramps. Beach nourishment operations would impact approximately 136 acres below mean high water, which includes approximately 11 acres of marine intertidal habitat. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers an alternative sand borrow area (Area E) that lies 9,600 to 16,600 feet offshore of Bethany Beach and South Bethany and extends south to Fenwick Island Park. Because of estimated sand quantities, sand grain size, and reduced impacts on benthic organisms and cultural resources, Area E is being advanced as the preferred site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would preserve the commercial viability of Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach as tourist destinations, and reduce the potential for severe storm damage to the structures and property associated with the communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. The dredging would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. The dredging would result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities in the borrow area, and the consequent displacement of a finfish food source.

AN - 36390454; 6851 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane highway connecting the town of New Hartford and the town of Whitestown, located in central New York, is proposed. The project area is located within the Utica-Rome Metropolitan Area, 50 miles east of Syracuse and 90 miles west of Albany. The area has experienced significant growth in commercial development, creating traffic congestion on various local streets within the study area. Much of this development has occurred along State Route 5A, which is locally known as Commercial Drive. The highway would begin at the Route 5/8/12 interchange in New Hartford, pass through the village of New York Mills, and continue westward to the existing Judd Road/Halsey Road intersection in the town of Whitestown. The facility would include interchanges at Route 5A and at Middle Settlement Road, and at-grade intersections at Clarks Mills Road and Judd Road/Halsey Road. The project alignment has been divided into four segments. Two interchange alternatives are under consideration within the Commercial Segment, which passes through the heavily developed Route 5A area. One alternative would involve the construction of a partial cloverleaf interchange; the other alternative (the preferred alternative) would involve a single point urban interchange. Clinton Street on the east side of Route 5A would be interrupted and a cul-de-sac constructed. Northern and southern alignment alternatives are under consideration within the Central Segment, located immediately to the west of Route 5A. The southern alignment is the preferred alignment alternative. The estimated costs of the project is $35.0 million. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses. The draft EIS has been reissued as part of this final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would reduce traffic congestion on local streets, improve the connections between four state highways stimulate regional economic development, and provide a safer transportation facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the relocation of 16 residences and 11 businesses; increased noise levels at seven sites; and the loss of up to 2.1 hectares of wetlands and 22.6 hectares of farmland. The preferred alignment would adversely affect a historic archaeological site known as the Hobby Farm Site.

Preparation date: April 10, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED EXPANSION OF GERMAN AIR FORCE OPERATIONS AT HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, OTERO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO. AN - 16344110; 6841 AB - PURPOSE: The stationing of 30 additional German Air Force (GAF) Tornado aircraft and 640 personnel at Holloman Air Force Base (AFB), located in southern New Mexico, is proposed. In May 1994, the U.S. and Germany signed an agreement establishing a GAF training center at Holloman AFB. Twelve Tornado aircraft have since been stationed at the AFB. Such international training and military exchange programs are necessary to permit substantial reductions in each nation's military force while also creating a large force that is capable of responding to an international crisis. GAF aircrews have worked closely with U.S. forces during the Bosnian Peacekeeping Mission. The replacement training unit would operate under the auspices of the GAF training center at Holloman and would function as a school for GAF Tornado aircrews. The school would offer five different training courses ranging from basic conversion training to the fighter weapon instructor course. Training would emphasize takeoffs and landings at Holloman AFB, low-altitude navigation using terrain-following radar on military training routes in the region, air-intercept training, and air-to-ground training. Approximately 160 students per year would enroll in training courses each year. GAF personnel permanently assigned to Holloman would include instructors, technicians, administrative personnel, and other support functions. Three training options are considered in this final EIS. These options would include the same basic elements and differ only with respect to utilization and airspace. The options would include constructing a target complex on western Otero Mesa on McGregor Range (the preferred option), constructing a target complex in the Tularosa Basin portion of the McGregor Range, and using existing target areas for air-to-ground training. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would foster U.S./German bilateral military relations, capitalize on the substantial infrastructure investments that the GAF has already made at Holloman AFB, and provide a desert and mountainous training location no otherwise available to GAF aircrews in Germany. The area would benefit economically; earnings and purchases in the region would increase by about $31 million annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in a slight increase in noise levels in the vicinity of Holloman AFB. Facilities construction would result in the disturbance of 96.1 acres within the developed area of the AFB including 2.3 acres of student housing and 2.4 acres of enlisted dorms. The construction of a target complex would disturb up to 5,120 acres of shortgrass and desert scrub habitat. Nine out of 22 archaeological sites could be adversely affected. There would be a potential loss of burrowing owl and black-tailed prairie dog habitat. Some 46,000 linear feet of U.S. waters could be minimally disturbed.

AN - 36416435; 6833 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an aquatic plant program for the management and control of hydrilla in Lake Seminole, located within the states of Georgia and Florida, with segments of the boundary between southwestern Georgia, northern Florida, and southeastern Alabama, is proposed. The 33,150-acre lake is located at the confluence of the Chattahoochee River and the Flint River. Since the impoundment of the lake in 1957, over 900 species of aquatic and wetland plants have become established, and several species have grown to problem levels. Hydrilla, the major problem plant, has increased from one acre in 1967 to over 24,000 acres in 1992, interfering with small boat navigation, degrading water quality and fish habitat, trapping sediment, increasing mosquito production, decreasing property values, and blocking the hydropower intake structure. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final supplement. The recommended plan would treat hydrilla on 7,433 acres using several control techniques. Three sites, comprising 1,983 acres, would be stocked with 23,800 12-inch triploid grass carp, with supplemental stocking of 5,950 fish every seven years. The herbicide fluridone would be metered into the water flowing past the Highway 253 bridge; the herbicide would be present at a concentration of 15 parts per billion for 50 days, a level sufficient to control roughly 3,743 acres. Additional areas would be treated with the traditional fluridone and endothall herbicide treatments. The estimated annual cost of the program is $894,816. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the program would ensure that the economic and recreational values of the reservoir would not be impaired. Under the recommended plan, channel access for small boat channel navigation would improve, the conversion of lake area into terrestrial habitat would be slowed, and the mosquito population would be reduced. The program would yield annual net benefits of $26.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: While it is known that grass carp will feed on hydrilla, the grass carp could have adverse long-term ecological effects in an open system.

AN - 36407374; 6832 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading to interstate standards of 16.4 miles of US 71 from south of Bella Vista in northwestern Arkansas to near Pineville in southwestern Missouri, is proposed. Within the project area, the US 71 roadway consists of a rural two-lane highway with stabilized shoulders and partially limited access control. The freeway section around Bentonville consists of a four-lane roadway with a grassy, depressed median. At the Missouri state line, the highway transitions to a four-lane divided highway. In 1991, Congress identified the existing US 71 corridor extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana, as a high-priority corridor. In response, Arkansas and Missouri have undertaken projects to upgrade portions of US 71. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (the Far West Alternative) would involve the construction of the roadway on a new alignment in predominantly rural areas three to five miles west of the existing highway, thereby eliminating the safety hazard of mixing the local, elderly traffic with the higher-speed through traffic. The estimated construction cost of the project is $174.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the project, traffic congestion along the existing US 71 would be relieved; traffic safety would be improved by upgrading current design deficiencies and separating through and local traffic; and economic development in the project area would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would displace 15 residences, four mobile homes, two businesses, and 45.4 hectares of statewide important farmland. Some of the 27 architectural sites in the project area would be adversely affected. The highway would cross 12 streams (eight by bridge and four by culvert) and encroach on 15.7 hectares of floodplain.

AN - 36406119; 6834 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood protection measures along five miles of the Guadalupe River between the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge crossing and Blossom Hill Road, located in western California, is proposed. Over 7,500 residential and commercial structures lie within the 100-year floodplain in the study area. Average annual damages exceed $19 million. Flood protection measures considered included storage on upstream reservoirs, channel widening, bypass channels, levees, floodwalls and nonstructural measures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the Selected Plan, the minimum stream capacity downstream of Canoas Creek would be increased to 14,600 cubic feet per second. The plan would feature a bypass channel, channel widening, a levee, and floodwalls designed to contain the 100-year discharge on the upper Guadalupe River and Ross Creek. The channel widening would be limited to one bank in most cases to preserve as much as possible of the existing riparian habitat. The Hillsdale Avenue bridge would be replaced. More than 6,600 structures would be removed from the 100-year floodplain. The first project cost of the selected plan is estimated at $132.8 million, resulting in an average annual cost of $9.8 million. The benefit-cost ratio of the plan is 2.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would reduce flood damage affecting structures and their contents and result in emergency flood response savings, flood insurance administrative cost savings, savings of costs associated with current channel maintenance activities, and advanced bridge replacement benefits. Net annual benefits for the selected alternative would amount to approximately $12.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 300 trees would be removed under the selected plan. The displacement of 63 residential buildings and 20 commercial buildings would result. The selected alternative would also result in displacement of 27.5 acres of habitat, including 22.4 acres of riparian forest, 3.6 acres of urban forest, and 0.9 acres of wetland, all of which would be replanted. Four archaeological sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would lie within the area of potential disturbance. Water and sewer lines would be disturbed during construction. Hazardous waste sites would probably be encountered in certain areas.

This research was conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) super(1) under the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program. Research and development were executed in two phases: (a) from fiscal years 1984 to 1989 (REMR-I) by the work unit "Evaluation of Damage to Underwater Portions of Coastal Structures," and (b) during REMR-II from FY1990 to 1995 by the work unit "Quantitative Imaging and Inspection of Underwater Portions of Coastal Structures." The main objective of the REMR-I work unit was hardware identification, evaluation, and prototype design and development. The REMR-II work unit focused on developing hardware and software tools to make quantitative inspections of underwater portions of coastal structures a routine procedure requiring minimum levels of skill, training, and experience to produce useful, high-quality results with an emphasis on the product and the process of such inspections. Both work units investigated present-day and newly emerging survey technologies. JF - Coastal Structure Inspection Technologies. Investigation of Multibeam Sonars for Coastal Structure Surveys. p. 1.

The analyses specifically addresses three questions of interest to the District: (1) can Alamo Lake be operated to protect against bald eagle nest inundation and if so, what are the downstream impacts; (2) can different draw-down schemes for required dam maintenance improve the conflicting conditions; (3) can the operation plan recommended by the Bill Williams River Corridor Technical Committee by improved? Results from a combined approach using an optimization (HEC-PRM) and simulation model of the Alamo system confirmed that the proposed operating rule performs very well. Significant improvements to operation using a flexible draw-down scheme instead of a rigid schedule can be obtained. The chance of inundation of bald eagle nests can be reduced from eighteen to five percent in a year by a different operation strategy, but at a significant impact to other endangered species in the downstream riverine corridor.

Each model is based on the physics of the ice accretion process and on empirical observations. However, these models predict significantly different ice loads for the same freezing rain storm, making it difficult to use model results to determine design ice loads. In this paper, we describe a simple ice load model that can be used to make conservative back-of-the-envelope calculations of ice loads based on the precipitation rate and wind speed. Using historical weather data from Springfield, IL, we compare the ice loads from this model with those from other models and discuss the reasons for the differences between them. We also compare the modeled and measured ice loads from one well-documented storm that occurred at CRREL's freezing rain weather station.

However, deposition and ablation together determine ice loads because ice persists after it is deposited, and residual ice often remains on structures, contributing to load when later ice accretion occurs. The goal of this study is to identify local and synoptic-scale weather conditions associated with rime and glaze ablation. A total of 77 ablation periods were recorded by time-lapse video for two winters on Mt Equinox, VT, USA. Weather information was acquired from on-site measurements, radiosondes and synoptic charts. Sublimation was the slowest process, whereas melt and mechanical ablation events were the most rapid, lasting less than 5 h. Ablation occurred principally during daylight hours. Wind speeds were similar and slowest during sublimation and melt, with sublimation occurring primarily in westerly winds, and melt occurring within southerly winds. Sublimation air temperatures and relative humidities were lowest, with medians of - 11 degree 3C and 57%, respectively. In general, melt is most frequent as storms approach, and sublimation is most common as storms depart.

The model performs the soil water balance and evaluates impacts of water stress on yields for different crops. It is now being used to support a water saving irrigation scheduling program in a pilot area in the North China plain. This paper reports on the calibration and validation of the model using independent data sets relative to winter wheat and summer maize. Data are originated from the Wangdu experimental station and concern a set of drainage lysimeters where diverse irrigation treatments were applied representing different strategies of deficit irrigation. The calibration of the model was performed by deriving the crop coefficients adapted to the local climatic conditions, and considering the soil freezing during winter. The validation of the model was performed using different data sets. Results show that the relative errors to estimate the soil water content averaged 5.3% for summer maize and 7.3% for the winter wheat. These results support the use of the model in the practice.

The proposed action would involve the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Diamond Fork Tunnel, a 6.1-mile-long series of tunnels and pipelines in the Diamond Fork Drainage, to convey water from the existing Syar Tunnel and Sixth Water Aqueduct to the existing Diamond Fork Pipeline; and the Main Conveyance Aqueduct, a 43.6-mile-long pipeline and associated facilities, to deliver water from the terminus of the Diamond Fork Pipeline to Southern Utah counties and Eastern Juab counties. The proposed action would deliver 127,400 acre-feet (af) of Bonneville Unit water, including 73,100 af for irrigation, 11,200 af for m&I uses, and 43,100 af for Utah Lake water supply. The construction would begin in October 1999 and be completed by August 2008 at a cost of approximately $312.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposal, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would be established. Improved irrigation would result in increased crop production throughout the region. Water quality and trout production would improve in the Diamond Fork Canyon. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pasture, grazing land, and big game winter range habitat would be lost during construction. A golden eagle nest site and a black bear denning area would be disturbed by construction. The Ute ladies' tresses, a threatened plant species found in the riparian zone along Diamond Fork Creek and Spanish Fork River, would be adversely affected by changes in the flow regime. As a result of the construction, there would be an increase in noise, vehicle emissions, and traffic delays within the Spanish Fork and Diamond Fork canyons.

AN - 36403877; 6821 AB - PURPOSE: The cleanup of petroleum contamination at Avila Beach, located in southwestern California, is proposed. Avila Beach is located on the northern end of San Luis Bay near Point San Luis. The Unocal Avila Terminal (Unocal) facility has been used for petroleum storage and transfer activities since 1910. The facility operates a network of underground pipelines that extend from the Unocal pier west of San Luis Obispo Creek to a tank farm located on a bluff overlooking the town. Historic leaks in the pipelines and possibly the tank farm have resulted in petroleum contamination of the soil and groundwater beneath the beach, roads, and commercial and residential properties within the town. Five pipelines are currently active, and another five to ten are abandoned in place under Front Street. There are no known leaks in the active pipelines at this time. A cleanup and abatement order was issued in 1994 to Unocal, requiring them to clean up soil and groundwater to specified levels and to submit a soil and groundwater cleanup plan, an environment and health risk assessment, and quarterly monitoring reports. The cleanup actions proposed by Unocal include solidification of the beach along both sides of the pier, biosparging and vapor recovery of the plumes under Front Street and north of Front Street, and biosparging portions of the west beach plume. Limited excavation of the plume would occur immediately adjacent to the ocean on the east beach area and at one location adjacent to Front Street on the east end of the beach. Horizontal sparge wells would be placed under the plume in the Front Street area with a compressed air manifold running back to the Unocal tank farm. The compressors would be located at the tank farm with controllers for sparge pressure. A No Project Alternative and three remedial alternative scenarios are considered in this final EIS. The environmentally preferred alternative (Remedial Alternative 7) would involve the complete excavation of contaminated soils beneath Avila Beach and the excavation would be followed by biosparging. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce the levels of subsurface hydrocarbon contamination to levels that are protective of public health and surface water quality standards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: During the active periods of the cleanup, local residents and businesses would be adversely affected. The project would include the disruption of traffic, the loss of recreational beach use, elevated noise and vibration levels, the generation of dust and air pollutants, adverse odors, and potential safety impacts as the plume was disturbed during solidification or excavation. Short-term erosion and sedimentation would occur as a result of excavation.

AN - 16353891; 6812 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 20-mile bypass of Tuscaloosa and Northport from US 82 on the north side of the Black Warrior River extending east and southeast to I-59 and I-20, located in western-central Alabama, is proposed. The Tuscaloosa area has experienced dramatic population growth in recent years, and the two major highways in the area that cross the Black Warrior River, US 82 and State Route (SR) 69, are severely congested during peak periods. The six-lane bridge on SR 69, located in the downtown area, had an average daily traffic volume of 55,110 vehicles per day in 1996; the four-lane bridge on US 82 had a volume of 53,800 vehicles per day. Planning for the area has long identified the need for additional river crossings. The bypass to the east of Tuscaloosa would reroute through traffic, disperse local traffic, and relieve congestion on the two existing bridges and area roads. Nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Each of the build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided highway with full-control access and interchanges at I-59 and I-20, US 11, SR 216, Crescent Ridge Road, River Road, McWrights Ferry Road, Rice Mine Road, Watermelon Road, SR 69, US 43, SR 171, and US 82. Two sites are under consideration for the crossing of the Back Warrior River: at Central Foundry and near Reichold Drive. The total costs of the project would range from $222.5 million to $246.0 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce network travel time, relieve congestion on existing highways, improve levels of service, separate local and through traffic, and provide an acceptable design speed throughout the network to maximize traveler benefit. The project would also increase opportunities for regional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the build alternatives would displace up to 288 residences, 16 businesses, one nonprofit organization, 40.9 hectares of wetlands, and 845.7 hectares of upland forest. Up to 22 noise sensitive sites would experience a substantial increase in noise levels of 15 decibels or more.

Preparation date: March 18, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CALFED BAY-DELTA PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36389801; 6803 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration and water management program for the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Delta, located in northern California, is proposed. The 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 region itself refers to the 738,000-acre area south of the city of Sacramento where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers meet, an environmentally diverse area that supports 750 plant and animal species within the largest wetlands area in the western United States. The region also provides water to two-thirds of the state's residents and much of its agricultural industry. In recent years, the bay-delta region has experienced a steady decline as a fish and wildlife habitat and as a reliable source of water because of population increases and economic development pressures. The CALFED program was established in June 1995 by 15 state and federal agencies in order to address the complex issues affecting the bay-delta region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft programmatic EIS. Each of the action alternatives would include a core program that would address the issues of ecosystem restoration, water use efficiency, water quality, Delta levee and channel integrity, water transfers, watershed management coordination, and a range of storage and conveyance options. Storage options would include 3.0 million acre-feet (MAF) surface storage on Sacramento River tributaries upstream of the delta, 500 thousand acre-feet (TAF) of storage on San Joaquin River tributaries, two MAF of storage off-aqueduct south of the delta, 200 acre-feet in-delta storage, and 250 and 500 TAF of groundwater storage in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, respectively. Conveyance options would include relying on the existing system while making some minor changes in the south delta, enlarging channels within the delta, and a conveyance channel for moving water around the delta. 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 have an adverse short-term effect on water quality and an adverse long-term effect on fish habitat and migration. 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 include significant visual impacts.

AN - 36401381; 6800 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 31-mile section of Route 60 from the interchange with the Van Buren bypass just east of Van Buren to Route 67 north of Poplar Bluff, located in southeast Missouri, is proposed. The project corridor includes the community of Ellsinore, holdings of the Mark Twain National Forest, and areas characterized by karst topography. Ten Mile Creek, Cane Creek, Goose Creek, Carter Creek, and other tributary streams dissect the project area. An upgraded roadway would consist of a four-lane facility with two traffic lanes in each direction and full-paved shoulders, separated by a depressed grassy median. The existing roadway is characterized by substandard geometrics, inadequate shoulder widths, and a high fatality rate. High traffic volumes, in combination with a narrow roadway and substandard shoulders on the existing bridges at Cane and Goose creeks, have created an unsafe condition on Route 60. Eight alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), the roadway would follow an alignment just to the south of existing Route 60 from the Van Buren bypass to the intersection with Route T, just outside the national forest. It would then follow the existing Route 60 alignment for most of the remainder of the route. Also under consideration is an upgrade alternative. The estimated cost for construction and rights-of-way is $149.2 million and the estimated benefit/cost ratio is 1.09. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would reduce accident rates on existing Route 60 and adjoining routes, and improve regional transportation efficiency and economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would displace approximately 235 acres of prime farmland, result in 45 residential and seven commercial relocations, and adversely affect 1.7 acres of wetlands, 732 acres of woodlands. Two state-listed species would be adversely affected. The site would be located near three undiscovered historical sites and ten potentially historical sites. In addition, 83 acres of floodplain would be filled, and three permanent streams and 28 intermittent streams would be crossed.

AN - 36404092; 6799 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of the 35-foot-deep navigation channel in the Arthur Kill Channel near Staten Island, New York, is proposed. The Arthur Kill Channel is a component of the federal navigation project known as the New York and New Jersey channels. The project area is that part of the Arthur Kill Channel beginning at its confluence with the Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay channels and extending southwesterly to the Howland Hook Marine Terminal in Staten Island, New York, a distance of one mile, and continuing southwesterly to the Tosco Refining Company and GATX oil facilities, a distance of two miles. Under the proposed action, which is designated the 41/40 plan, the channel would be deepened in these two sections by five feet and six feet, respectively. In addition, the channel would be widened and straightened as necessary. The project would require the disposal of 9.8 million cubic yards (mcy) of rock, 2.1 mcy of potentially contaminated black mud, and 0.4 mcy of clean uncolidated deposits. The estimated first cost for implementing the proposed action is $299.1 million, excluding interest during construction. This draft supplement to the final EIS of October 1985 considers changes in the area in the past 13 years and the shipment of cargo to newly constructed marine container terminals and facilities along the channel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 41/40 plan would meet the current navigational needs of the project area by improving navigational efficiency and safety. The proposed improvements would allow deep draft vessels to safely navigate the channel while remaining fully loaded, thus avoiding the need for lightering or steaming under partial loads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would adversely affect water quality and aquatic organisms. The dredging would increase suspended solids and turbidity at the point of the dredging and at the discharge site. The dredging would also result in the temporary complete loss of benthic communities.

Preparation date: March 10, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MARSHALLS CREEK TRAFFIC RELIEF STUDY SR 0209, SECTION 007, MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1995). AN - 16353839; 6797 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 Pennsylvania State Route (SR) 209, Business 209, and SR 402, while bypassing existing intersections in the village, thereby alleviating severe traffic congestion problems. SR 209 is a major north-south arterial highway in the heart of the Pocono Mountain resort area, providing a vital link between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-84. The project would also include congestion management system strategies to further relieve traffic congestion within this portion of Monroe and Pike counties. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of October 1995. This draft supplement to the draft EIS identifies two additional alternatives, including a preferred alternative (Alternative 3D1RB Modified), which 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 SR 402 from Russell Ridge Road. Other service roads would be updated as well. The estimated project cost is $61.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide smoother highway transitions from I-80 to SR 209 and SR 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 95.4 acres of erosion-prone soils would be disturbed by construction activity, as well as 510,264 square feet of floodplain, 22 wetlands areas, 17 groundwater wells, and 1,051 feet of streams. Three waste sites would be located in possible project corridors; and 21 residential units and two businesses would be displaced. Three visual resource areas and 11 archaeological resources would be adversely affected; 99 surrounding sites are noise sensitive. Projected total fiscal impact estimates are for annual net losses of $41,445.

AN - 16342158; 6795 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a supplemental water supply for agricultural and municipal uses, located in central Utah, is proposed. Presently, the demand for municipal water exceeds the available supply and water for agricultural irrigation is not adequate at the time when it is needed in late summer. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, a dam and reservoir would be constructed on Gooseberry Creek, and water would be diverted through the existing Narrows Tunnel to Cottonwood Creek. Three pipelines would be constructed to deliver water to the existing distribution systems located near Fairview, Utah. Recreation facilities would be developed at the reservoir for boating, camping, and picnicking, and a 2,500 acre-foot minimum pool for fish habitat would be provided. This alternative would develop 4,920 acre-feet of water for irrigation that would be used on 15,420 acres of land to supplement existing irrigation supplies. The project water and existing water supplies would be used primarily for the production of alfalfa and hay to support beef and dairy enterprises. In addition, 480 acre-feet per year would be used in the communities of Fairview, Spring City, and Moroni for the irrigation of lawns and gardens. The reservoir would have a total capacity of 17,000 acre-feet and a water surface area of 604 acres. Under existing water rights agreements, a maximum of 5,400 acre-feet of water would be released through the Narrows Tunnel. The reservoir would maintain a minimum pool of 2,500 acre-feet that would not be drawn down. A Smaller Reservoir Alternative, which would have a maximum capacity of 7,900 acre-feet, is also under consideration in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded water supply would support anticipated population growth in the project area and satisfy demands for improved agricultural irrigation. In addition, the project would provide additional recreation and fishery opportunities in Sanpete County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would permanently alter use on 786 acres of land currently functioning as rangeland and wildlife habitat. The reservoir would inundate 100 acres of wetlands, one mile of stream fishery in upper Gooseberry Creek, and 4.3 miles of Yellowstone cutthroat trout spawning and rearing habitat in the Creek tributaries. Traffic volume would increase by 19 percent in the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (43 U.S.C. 620).

Preparation date: March 9, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BLUESTONE LAKE DAM SAFETY ASSURANCE PROJECT, SUMMERS COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36411007; 6791 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of structural modifications to the Bluestone Dam, located on the New River just upstream of Hinton in southern West Virginia, is proposed. The structure consists of a concrete gravity dam, spillway, stilling basin and outlet works through the spillway section. The total reservoir capacity of Bluestone Lake is 631,000 acre-feet (af) at maximum flood control pool elevation of 1,520 feet, equivalent to 1.59 inches of runoff. The dam is constructed to withstand floodwaters resulting from a storm generating an inflow of up to 430,000 cubic feet per second (cfps). New calculations by the National Weather Service indicate that the probable maximum flood event in the project area would generate an inflow of up to 1.1 million cfps. A maximum flood event, if it should occur in the river basin, would displace 13,469 persons and cause downstream damages in excess of $1.7 billion. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would raise and strengthen the existing dam, while using the six existing penstocks to allow additional discharge capacity. The dam would be raised 13 feet to sustain a pool elevation of 1,546.8 feet and safely withstand a maximum flood event. Additional features would include a 13-foot cantilever wall on top of the dam, an additional gravity monolith on the east abutment, a floodgate closure across WV Route 20 on the west abutment, removable closures at each end of the spillway, mass concrete thrust blocks topped with overburden placed against the downstream face of the dam, a pavement for scour protection downstream of the penstocks, and high-strength, multistand anchors placed in the dam itself. The estimated cost of the project is $91.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the flood protection capacity of the Bluestone Dam by 250 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The New River and the Bluestone area support a unique and irreplaceable set of ecological resources. Sensitive species of terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates and sensitive plant species within and adjacent to the construction area would be adversely affected. Surface water quality of the New River and Bluestone lake would be degraded by runoff during construction.

Preparation date: March 6, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 50 WEST-CENTRAL CORRIDOR LOCATION STUDY, SEDALIA TO SAINT MARTINS; COLE, COOPER, MONITEAU, MORGAN, AND PETTIS COUNTIES, MISSOURI. AN - 36389876; 6790 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 65-mile section of Route 50 from just west of Sedalia to just east of Saint Martins, 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. Jefferson City, the state capitol, is located near the center of the state along Route 50. Within the project area, portions of Route 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 Route 65, Route 5, and Route 87, are substandard and do not adequately accommodate turning movement for trucks. In rural portions of the project area, Route 50 is a two-lane with poor horizontal and vertical alignment, and narrow, unimproved shoulders; approximately 60 percent of the route is marked as a no passing zone. A No-Build Alternative, a Transportation Systems Management Alternative, and a range of build alternatives within four corridor segments are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would be a four-lane freeway that would bypass Sedalia to the north, follow the existing alignment of Route 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 Route 50. The estimated cost of the project is $253.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would reduce accident rates on existing Route 50 and adjoining routes, improve response time for emergency vehicles, improve access to points east and west along Route 50, improve vehicle travel times and reduce vehicle congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would displace up to 216 residential units, 25 businesses, one school, and 28 acres of wetlands. In addition, the construction would disturb three sites potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The highway would encroach on 3.8 miles of floodplain. There would be potential for spills of hazardous materials into surface waters. LEGAL MANDATES: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36410829; 6787 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures along certain sections of the Mississippi River between Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and the Gulf of Mexico is proposed. In 1976, the Corps of Engineers published a final EIS that outlined flood protection measures for a Project Design Flood (PDF) in the Mississippi River basin, defined as the greatest flood having a reasonable probability of occurrence. The plan included levees to contain floodflows, floodways to pass excess flows past critical reaches of the River, channel improvements and stabilization to provide efficient navigation alignment and increase flood carrying capacity, and tributary basin improvements. This draft supplement to the final EIS assesses the effectiveness of current flood protection measures and the need for mitigation measures. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Plan 1), are considered in this draft supplement. The Nonstructural Alternative (Plan 2) would emphasize the purchase of easements in the floodplain). One structural alternative (Plan 4, the recommended alternative) would maintain PDF levels of protection. The plan would involve 31.8 miles of levee enlargement and 74.3 miles of seepage control construction in the Memphis District, 216.8 miles of levee enlargement and 57.4 miles of levee raising in the Vicksburg District, and 14.2 miles of levee raising in the New Orleans District. Riverside borrow areas would be relocated in order to reduce damages to bottomland hardwood forested areas. An estimated 3,041 acres of borrow areas would be reforested in the Vicksburg and Memphis districts. There would be no new levee construction under this plan. Another structural alternative (Plan 3) is also under consideration. The recommended plan's estimated cost is $650.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, some levees along the Mississippi River would be reconstructed to reflect flood and hydrological data collected since the 1970s, significantly improving flood protection. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The planned construction under the recommended plan would adversely affect 7,328 acres of wetlands and 4,834 acres of bottomland hardwoods, a significant loss of habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. During construction, noise would increase, as would dust and traffic disruption.

Preparation date: February 27, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MID-CURRITUCK SOUND BRIDGE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36405941; 6786 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across Currituck Sound and associated approach roads, located in northeastern North Carolina, is proposed. The project would begin at US 158 on the mainland and end at NC 12 on the Currituck Outer Banks. The bridge would be approximately 4.8 miles long, and its mainland approach road would be 2.3 miles long. Both the bridge and the mainland approach would be two lanes wide. Currently, a trip from SR 1142 on the mainland to Monteray Shores on the Outer Banks takes about one hour on a weekday and 1.6 hours on a summer weekend. If a bridge were built across Currituck Sound, that trip would be decreased to five to ten minutes. Seven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The six bridge corridor alternatives (Alternatives C1 through C6) would involve various combinations of three mainland approaches and two Outer Banks termini. The mainland approaches would be parallel to the power line right-of-way, parallel to SR 1140, and between Aydlett and Poplar Branch. The two termini would be the north end of Monteray Shores and the south end of Monteray Shores at Albacore Street. Estimated project costs would range from $70.5 million to $87.2 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient crossing for permanent residents of Currituck County as well as tourists visiting the Outer Banks. Over 50 years the bridge would provide travel time savings worth $1.76 billion. The bridge would encourage commercial development along US 158 and also provide a hurricane evacuation route for Outer Banks residents and visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The bridge alternative would adversely affect community cohesion and require the relocation of up to eight families and businesses. The bridge would have a major aesthetic and visual effect on views of the Sound. An embankment nearly 24 feet high would be built in the community of Aydlett; however, there would be no access to the bridge in Aydlett.

Preparation date: February 27, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH/NORTH CORRIDOR PROJECT; CLACKAMAS, MULNOMAH, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, OREGON, AND CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 16342304; 6782 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transit improvements in the Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, metropolitan region is proposed. The north/south transportation corridor includes the cities of Oregon City, Gladstone, and Milwaukie; the Clackamas Regional Center (CRC) area of unincorporated Clackamas County; a section of southeast Portland; Portland's central city; a section north/northeast of Portland; the city of Vancouver; and other parts of Clark County, Washington. Since 1980, the number of jobs and households along the corridor has been increasing at the rate of two to three percent annually. By the year 2015, the projected increases in travel miles will result in a 268 percent increase in the miles of congested roadways in the corridor and a 720 percent increase in the number of hours that drivers must sit in congested traffic. Alternatives considered in this draft EIS include a No-Build Alternative, four light-rail length alternatives, 16 light-rail alignment alternatives, and 22 light-rail design options. The length alternatives include a 21-mile, full-length alignment from the CRC to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver; a 17-mile alignment from the Milwaukie Marketplace to the VA Medical Center and Clark College in Vancouver; a 12-mile alignment from the CRC to the Rose Quarter Transit Center; and a 15-mile alignment from the CRC to North Lombard Street in north Portland. Project capital costs range from $748 million to $1.3 billion, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide high-quality transit service along a major metropolitan transportation corridor, accommodate future population and economic growth patterns in the area, reduce traffic congestion and traffic infiltration through neighborhoods, and improve regional air quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 77 businesses, 333 residences, and 1.95 acres of parkland. In addition, up to 22,300 cubic yards of floodplain fill would be required, and seven historic properties would be adversely affected. Slightly less than two acres of parkland would be displaced and three parks would be adversely affected by noise.

Preparation date: February 20, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONSTRUCTION OF THE PALAU COMPACT ROAD, BABELDAOB ISLAND, REPUBLIC OF PALAU (REVISION OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1997). AN - 36406033; 6775 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane road system on the island of Babeldaob in the Republic of Palau is proposed. The 127-square-mile island of Babeldaob is the largest island in the Palau archipelago and the second largest island in Micronesia. The island extends in a north-south direction for approximately 28 miles. The southern two-thirds of the island has an average width of eight miles, while the northern third consists of a narrow spur with an average width of one mile. The interior portion of the island is largely uninhabited partly because of limited access via land transportation systems. Existing roads connecting settlements on the island consist of dirt, gravel, or crushed coral surfaces. Three alternatives are considered in this revised draft EIS; the No Action Alternative was eliminated because it would fail to address existing practices and conditions which have a damaging effect on the environment. Under the preferred alternative, a loop system would be constructed in the southern two-thirds of the island and a single spur on the more narrow northern portion. The 53 miles of roadways would connect all ten states on the island and bypass existing settlements instead of running through them. Therefore, the roadway system would need to be complemented by secondary roads connecting to existing settlements. The construction of the roadway would be jointly funded by the U.S. government and the government of Palau. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide island-wide access to all settlements while minimizing disturbance to existing communities. The road would also provide access to areas with potential for agriculture, forestry, mining, industry, and tourism, and near watersheds for future water resource development, rock sources for quarries, and port development sites. The road would provide residents of the island an opportunity to live on their land and commute to work in Koror, rather than having to rent additional living quarters at or near Koror, as is now the practice. The project would generate 1,600 jobs per year in construction-related work and 3,088 indirect jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The economic development expected to result from roadway construction would gradually erode a traditional way of life. Land-disturbing activities could adversely affect geology and topography, soils, water quality, air quality, noise levels, flora, fauna, and coastal, marine, and estuarine resources.

Preparation date: February 19, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 113 PLANNING STUDY, FROM SOUTH OF SNOW HILL, MARYLAND, TO THE DELAWARE STATE LINE, WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36403691; 6774 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of US 113 in southeastern Maryland, is proposed. US 113 is an important north-south roadway running from US 13 near Pocomoke City, Maryland, to US 13 in Dover, Delaware. The highway carries considerable interstate traffic on the Delmarva Peninsula and provides an indirect connection to Ocean City, the second-most populated city in Maryland during the summer vacation season. These highway sections have an accident rate that exceeds the statewide average for two-lane highways. In the summer months, up to 18,500 vehicles per day use the highway. The proposed action would improve the remaining two-lane sections of US 113: the southern study area extends 16.3 miles from south of Snow Hill, Maryland to south of Berlin, Maryland; the northern study area extends 7.5 miles from north of Berlin to the Delaware state line. Six alternatives are under consideration for the northern section, and five alternatives for the southern section. Each set of alternatives includes a No-Build Alternative and a transportation system management alternative. The southern preferred alternative would add a two-lane section of roadway alongside existing US 113; a 34-foot median would separate the northbound and southbound lanes, although the median would be narrowed at six locations in order to minimize wetlands impacts. The northern preferred alternative would construct a four-lane highway on alignment from the northern area study limit to Shingle Landing Road, and add a two-lane section of roadway alongside existing US 113 from Shingle Lane Road to the Delaware state line. The estimated cost of the project is $131.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would address the capacity and safety concerns along US 113, reducing traffic congestion and the number of accidents on a heavily traveled highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternatives would displace 15 residences, four businesses, 2.6 acres of 100-year floodplain, and 100 acres of farmland in the north; two residences, one business, 8.4 acres of floodplains, and 115 acres of farmland in the south. Adverse impacts to historic and archaeological resources could occur under most of the build alternatives.

AN - 36414114; 6770 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the navigation link between the Mississippi River in the vicinity of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet on the east side of the river, is proposed. The navigational link between the Mississippi River and these waterways is the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal and Lock constructed by the Port of New Orleans in 1923 in order to provide navigation between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, a distance of five miles, and to provide areas for industrial development. The lock is 75 feet wide and 640 feet long and has a sill depth of 31.5 mean low gulf. The lock has been operating at maximum capacity for a number of years, and vessel delays and congestion at the lock are chronic problems. Delays are aggravated by three bridges that cross the canal in the vicinity of the lock. These bridges are closed to navigation traffic during rush hours for vehicular traffic. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The tentatively selected plan would involve the construction of a precast, floated-in, concrete lock 110 feet wide by 1,200 feet long with a depth of 36 feet. It would also include the replacement of the Saint Claude Avenue Bridge with a low-level double-bascule bridge, the replacement of the lift span and the raising of the towers on the Claiborne Avenue Bridge, and the implementation of a project mitigation plan. The estimated first cost of the project is $532.0 million, and the estimated total annual cost is $64.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of lock operations would benefit industry and commercial navigation by providing a more efficient connection between the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The average annual net benefits are estimated at $58.3 million, and the ratio of average annual benefits to average annual costs is 1.91 to one. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would adversely affect fish and wildlife habitat as a result of a temporary construction site (graving site) designated for construction of lock modules. The graving site would cause the loss of 25 freshwater wetland acres, although this loss would be mitigated by the restoration of wetlands in another location. In addition, this plan would cause traffic detours and congestion during the construction period, relocation of two businesses, job displacements, lost revenues for some local businesses, and construction noise in the vicinity of the canal. About three million cubic yards of dredged materials would be disposed of and a slight increase in the release of lock water would occur. Vessel traffic would increase.

AN - 36416292; 6768 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of emergency bank-protection measures at 39 locations on the Red River, located in Louisiana and Arkansas, is proposed. The original proposal would provide emergency corrective measures along the Red River between the Mississippi River and the vicinity of Index, Arkansas, at 12 locations in Louisiana, and four locations in Arkansas. The levee crown and side slopes along most of the levee do not meet current standards and these deficiencies make levee maintenance difficult. Portions of the levee system have deteriorated in many locations, and the presence of uncontrolled vegetation along the levee make visual detection of potential problem areas difficult. Some rehabilitation work on the levee system has already been completed. The plan recommended in this final supplement to the final EIS of June 1972 would involve restoring and rehabilitating approximately 108.1 miles of levees, including the 6.2-mile levee along McKinney Bayou, along with raising levees deficient in grade, reshaping the side slopes to one vertical on three horizontal, gravel surfacing the levee crown, constructing seepage berms, and replacing seven drainage structures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in the headwaters of the Red River. Potential damages to farmlands would be reduced, and levee maintenance costs would also be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The levee improvements would result in the loss of 254 acres of woodlands, 60 acres of wetlands, and 385 acres of farmland.

Preparation date: February 12, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH FORK HUGHES RIVER WATERSHED, RITCHIE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1994). AN - 16344015; 6760 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control plan for the 130,220-acre North Fork Hughes River Watershed, located in northern West Virginia, is proposed. The dominant problems identified in the project area are rural flooding, the lack of a dependable water supply, and the lack of water-based recreation. Average annual flood damage in the watershed is $344,700; a 100-year flood would result in residential damages of $868,700 and businesses losses of $1.9 million. At the other extreme, severe droughts have occurred four times since 1987. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of June 1994. Under the preferred alternative, a dam would be constructed about 1,500 feet upstream of the entrance to the North Bend State Park Jughandle picnic and camping area, controlling about 90.7 square miles. It would be constructed of roller compacted concrete, with an embankment about 86 feet high. An emergency spillway would be excavated through the right abutment. The dam would create a 305-acre lake with a water treatment plant which would serve the communities of Cairo, Ellenboro, Harrisville, and Pennsboro, and North Bend State Park. The state park would be expanded to include an area from Jughandle Campground to Third Run, and campgrounds, boat ramps, trails and other facilities would be added. A recreational area would be created just north of Harrisville across the lake from the Victory Ridge Road. The total estimated project cost is $38.8 million. This final supplement to the final EIS considers the recreation benefits associated with the lake and the possibility of zebra mussel infestation in the reservoir. Zebra mussels are considered a pest organism because they attach to water intakes and other man-made structures. They also attach themselves to native mussels, with whom they compete for food. However, the Corps of Engineers has determined that the pH and calcium levels in the reservoir make it an unsuitable habitat for zebra mussels. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, floodwater damages would be reduced; state water quality criteria would be met; an adequate water supply to the area would be provided; and public water-based recreation would be provided. Average annual flood damages in the watershed would be reduced by $330,400 annually. The total annual average benefits from the plan $6.9 million, and the benefit-cost ration is 2.0. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dam's permanent pool would inundate 98.1 acres of prime farmland and 6.6 acres of wetlands, and permanently alter 569.5 acres of wildlife habitat. In addition, 26 residences and six businesses would be displaced. Some historic and archaeological sites would be damaged or destroyed. Approximately 18 existing oil and gas wells would be plugged, and a no-surface-occupancy stipulation would be implemented for the project area. Roughly 8.1 miles of warmwater stream fishery would be converted to lake fishery.

The study had three objectives: (1) To establish the physiological capacity of plants to absorb and transport TNT or RDX from explosives contaminated groundwater in the absence of substrates and their sorptive activities; (2) To quantify partitioning of TNT and RDX between plant portions; and (3) To establish the short-term chemical fate of TNT and RDX in plant tissues of these species. Substrates in which these plants were rooted at the Milan field site (sediment, gravel) were also incubated without plants to investigate sorptive activities, and to evaluate microbial/chemical transformation of TNT and RDX that may affect the explosives availability to plants.

AN - 16342244; 6747 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a six-mile-long highway connecting PA 60 to US 22, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, is proposed. The project is one of three Southern Beltway Transportation Projects designed to improve mobility and stimulate economic development in the circumferential corridor south and west of Pittsburgh. The roadway network within the project area has serious deficiencies: 42 percent of the roads have substandard lane widths and 60 percent have substandard shoulder widths. The project area is located 15 miles west of Pittsburgh and 12.5 miles east of the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border. The Pittsburgh International Airport, which is accessible from PA 60, is located near the northern project terminus. The connection to US 22 would improve access to the airport from the west. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1997. Each of the two build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane toll road with a 60-foot median. The two alternatives would share a common alignment from Interchange 1 on US 22 to the interchange with Potato Garden Road, at which point the Green Alternative would continue on a northerly route to an interchange with Moon-Clinton Road, while the Tan Alternative (the preferred alternative) would follow an alignment to the northeast, terminating at the airport. The two alternative alignments would be 5.8 miles and 5.5 miles long, respectively. This final EIS, which is issued in an abbreviated format, contains corrections and revisions to the draft EIS as well as public comments and agency responses; the draft EIS has been reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve traffic flow conditions in the project area, relieve existing traffic congestion, improve safety, provide direct access to the airport, and accommodate growth anticipated in the land use and comprehensive plans of adjacent communities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the preferred alternative would require 25 stream crossings, the displacement of seven residential and one commercial property, the loss of 8.0 acres of wetlands, and the cleanup of approximately 45 acres potentially contaminated with hazardous wastes.

AN - 36411114; 6743 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a fish screen improvement project at the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District's Hamilton City Pumping Plant, located in west-central California, is proposed. The project would be located on the Sacramento River and adjacent side channel between River Mile (RM) 205 and RM 206, near the intersect of Butte, Tehama, and Glenn counties. The pumping plant, which supplies water to irrigated lands and national wildlife refuges in the area, jeopardizes the survival of winter-run chinook salmon and other fish. The existing fish screen is a 475-foot flat-plate screen on a side channel (oxbow) of the river. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. All of the action alternatives would involve extending the existing fish screen by at least 600 feet, improving and deepening the oxbow channel, and constructing an improved and extended guide berm across the fish screens and an oxbow flow control structure with a removable bridge deck. The preferred alternative would include provisions for an internal fish bypass system to convey juvenile fish moving along the screen face into one of three bell-shaped entrance bays that transition to a four- to five-foot-diameter pipeline. Three concrete pipelines, ranging from 800 to 1,400 pages in length, would separately convey bypassed fish from each of the bays to one of two optional outfall locations. In addition, this alternative would involve constructing a gradient on the mainstem Sacramento River adjacent to Montgomery Island. The estimated cost of the project is $40.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, fish passage problems at the pumping plant would be alleviated, a vital component of the Department of Interior's program to restore fisheries to the Central Valley Project. Fish screen improvements would result in a reduction in the numbers of juvenile fish lost. The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District would maximize its ability to divert the full quantity of water which it is entitled to divert to meet its water supply delivery obligations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Cofferdams and other construction equipment would have a short-term adverse impact on fishery resources and recreational boating. The extension of the fish screen would result in the permanent loss of riparian habitat.

AN - 36410949; 6745 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of three north-south routes in order to meet transportation capacity needs between I-90 and the downtown area in the city of La Crosse, located in western Wisconsin, is proposed. By the year 2020, all three routes are expected to exceed their design capacity: traffic on USH 53 would increase by an average of 28 percent; traffic on STH 35 would increase by 19 percent; and traffic on STH 16 would increase by 15 percent. Travel on STH 35 and USH 53 is substantially impaired by numerous signalized intersections, insufficient number of traffic lanes and turning lanes, on-street parking, and numerous access points. From 1993 to 1995, USH 53 had an accident rate 46 percent higher than the statewide average, while STH 35 had a rate 110 percent higher. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 4A and Alternative 4B would involve adding capacity to existing roadway links. A roadway link would be added in the area between I-90 and the north end of existing River Valley Drive at Palace Street. This link would be common to all of the other build alternatives and involve extending STH 157 to River Valley Drive, extending 12th Avenue from CTH SS to STH 16, and constructing a new interchange between these extended roadways. These alternatives would also involve widening existing River Valley Drive between Palace and Gilette streets. Alternative 4A and Alternative 4B would differ in their alignments between Gillette and Monitor streets. Alternative 5B-1 and Alternative 5B-2 would involve both adding capacity and constructing new roadway links. Between Saint James and Monitor streets, both of these alternatives would involve constructing a multilane highway along the Harvey Street corridor. Alternative 5B-1 (the recommended alternative) would involve constructing a multilane highway along an abandoned railroad corridor between Monitor and La Crosse streets, while Alternative 5B-2 would follow existing STH 35. The recommended alternative would include measures to increase bus ridership and improve selected intersections. The estimated cost of this alternative is $67.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would relieve traffic congestion and decrease accident potential within the city of La Crosse, and accommodate economic growth and population increases. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended alternative, the facility would displace up to 56 residences and 16 businesses, fill up to 23.5 acres of wetlands, widen an existing crossing of the La Crosse River or add a new crossing, and increase noise levels at 451 receptors. Two of the proposed interchanges would cross the Great River State Trail.

AN - 36406085; 6741 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Lower Monongahela River navigation system, located in southwestern Pennsylvania, is proposed. The study area includes the Lower Monongahela River from the Point in Pittsburgh at river mile 0.0 to river mile 41.5, the site of Locks and Dam (L&D) 4. L&D 2 is located in Braddock at river mile 11.2 and consists of a fixed-crest dam with a 110-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. The dam is approximately 85 years old and the locks are approximately 37 years old. L&D 3 is located in Elizabeth at river mile 23.8 and consists of a fixed-crest dam with a 56-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. Both the dam and the locks are approximately 84 years old. L&D 4 is located in Charleroi and consists of a gated dam with a 56-foot-by-720-foot main chamber and a 56-foot-by-360-foot auxiliary chamber. The dam is approximately 24 years old and the locks are approximately 59 years old. Poor structural conditions and inadequate navigational features characterize the system. Structural problems include unstable foundations and deteriorating concrete. The selected improvement plan would involve removing the locks and dam of L&D 3, rebuilding the dam of L&D 2, and replacing the locks of L&D 4. This final supplement to the final EIS of December 1991 examines disposal alternatives for 3.4 million cubic yards (cy) of material resulting from excavation and dredging. Local residents and several government agencies raised objections to the two disposal sites proposed in the final EIS. Three additional disposal alternatives are considered in this final supplement. The preferred site (Victory Hollow) would be located on the left bank of the Monongahela River at river mile 34.5. The total site easement area is 305 acres. Access would be provided from an off-highway haul road extending from a barge unloading facility. The other two alternatives would involve in-river disposal and the use of a brownfield site in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. The estimated cost of the project is $7.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The modifications would prevent continued deterioration of the system resulting in, among other things, movement of concrete wall monoliths, a situation that would lead to unscheduled lock chamber closures or even loss of pool. Small locks and short approach areas would be replaced by more adequate facilities. Removal of L&D 3 would eliminate a bottleneck that has adversely affected the busiest section of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water level changes due to the raising of Pool 2 and lowering of Pool 3 would adversely affect 30.3 miles of river, necessitating numerous shoreside facility adjustments such as the reconstruction of docks, intakes and outfalls, boat ramps, and one railroad bridge. The cost of these adjustments would be $174.3 million. The loss of tailwater due to the removal of L&D 3 would constitute the most significant adverse biological impact, but it would be mitigated by placement of shallow water structural habitat features, design features in the new L&D 2 and L&D 4 in order to maximize their reaeration potential, and the projected net gain in shallow water habitat acreage from pool changes. Wetlands would be inundated in some areas and dried in others. The project would generate 3.4 million cy of waste material due to channel and approach dredging, excavation for new structures, and demolition of old structures.

AN - 36413931; 6733 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Red Mountain Freeway between State 87 (SR 87) and US 60 in the city of Mesa, located in southwestern Arizona, is proposed. The six-lane freeway would follow a 17.8-mile alignment along the northern and eastern city limits of the city of Mesa. The project would include a freeway-to-freeway interchange with US 60. A three-mile section of the Red Mountain Freeway from the Price /Pima Freeway to SR 87 was approved for construction in 1994. The freeway extension would provide an east-west link between two major highways and help to accommodate the 81 percent increase in daily traffic volume anticipated by the year 2015. For analysis purposes, the study corridor has been divided into an eastern segment and a western segment. Two alternative alignments are under consideration in the eastern segment, and three in the western segment; a No-Build Alternative is also considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred western alternative (the 1988-89 Alignment Alternative), the alignment would be adjusted to avoid radio towers located between SR 87 and Center Street and to avoid historic structures and properties that are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Traffic interchanges would occur at SR 87, Gilbert Road, Val Vista Street, Greenfield Road, and Higley Road. In the eastern segment, the preferred alternative would be the Red Mountain District Park Bypass. This alignment would run parallel to the eastern boundary of Red Mountain District Park. Traffic interchanges would occur at Higley, Recker, McKellips, and Brown roads; Power and McDowell roads; University Drive and Broadway Road. The estimated total costs of the preferred alternatives are $327.5 million and $225.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve traffic flow conditions in Maricopa County, serve regional transportation needs, and relieve existing traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative in the western segment would displace 50 houses, 13 mobile homes, and up to five businesses. 21 historic properties would be directly affected. The preferred alternative in the eastern segment would displace 48 houses, 154 mobile homes, and up to four businesses. The two alignments together would convert 283.3 acres of desert shrub habitat to highway use and encroach on 43.3 acres of floodplain. The western alignment would directly and adversely affect properties located along the northern limits of the Lehi Historic District; the eastern alignment would encroach on a small section of the Red Mountain District Park. All interchanges may affect access and add congestion within residential areas during peak periods.

AN - 36403639; 6764 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement or seismic retrofitting of a bridge carrying the westbound lanes of I-80 over the Carquinex Strait in the northeastern San Francisco Bay area, located in northern California, is proposed. The northern end of the bridge is within the city of Vallejo in Solano County, California, and the southern end is within the unincorporated community of Crockett in Contra Costa County. The bridge is one of two steel truss bridges that cross the strait: the westbound bridge, which was constructed in 1927, has experienced corrosion of its metal components from exposure to chemical fumes and salt air; the eastbound bridge, which was constructed in 1958, will be seismically retrofitted as a separate project in 1997. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would seismically retrofit and rehabilitate the westbound bridge, its approaches and ramps, but would not make any other changes in the area. The bridge would continue to provide three lanes of traffic. Alternative 3 (the preferred alternative) would construct a bridge west of the existing bridges with three lanes of westbound traffic, one carpool lane, a pedestrian and bicycle lane. The superstructure and towers of the existing bridge would be removed after the bridge was constructed. Associated roadway improvements would include the realignment of Wanda Street between Pomona Street and Port Street, and the reconstruction of the Crockett Interchange. Alternative 4 would construct a bridge east of the existing bridges with four lanes of eastbound traffic, one carpool lane, a pedestrian and bicycle lane; westbound traffic would be shifted to the 1958 bridge. Alternative 5 would construct a bridge on a center alignment between the two existing bridges, and the 1927 bridge would be removed. The preservation of the 1927 as a historic structure is also under consideration. This bridge would have the same lane configuration as Alternative 3. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $260 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The replacement or retrofitted bridge would provide for increased safety, satisfy seismic and traffic safety standards, correct existing roadway deficiencies, encourage use of alternative transportation modes, and support the use of high-occupancy vehicles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Noise levels from increased traffic would increase over current levels. The rights-of-way acquisition would result in the loss of 34 parking spaces and the relocation of up to 20 residences under the highway reconstruction options. The bridge construction would result in the loss of 0.12 acres of delta smelt, chinook salmon, and steelhead critical habitat. The preferred alternative would remove the historic bridge superstructure.

Preparation date: January 11, 1998 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KENAI RIVER BRIDGE CROSSING, STERLING HIGHWAY TO FUNNY RIVER ROAD, KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36405566; 6728 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane highway, with a bridge across the Kenai River, to connect Sterling with Funny River, Alaska, is proposed. The highway and bridge would provide direct access to the state highway system for Funny River, and a logical extension of the transportation network serving the central Kenai Peninsula. Three bridge alternatives and three highway alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and a No-Build Alternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred highway alternative (Alternative 1) would begin at Milepost 14 Funny River Road and extend for 2.4 miles to a termination point at the Sterling Highway-Swanson River Road intersection. It would involve the construction of 0.7 miles of paved two-lane road and the upgrading and paving of 1.7 miles of existing roadway embankment. The highway would have two 12-foot-wide lanes and two eight-foot-wide shoulders. The average width of the road base would be about 90 feet. The right-of-way (ROW) would average 120 feet to accommodate a 30-foot utility easement on the east side. A 550-foot-long bridge would be constructed across the Kenai River at River Mile 34. The preferred bridge design (Bridge Alternative 1) would be a four-span, bulb-tee, three-pier structure. The midpoint of the structure would be 29 feet above ordinary high water. Three instream piers would be located at approximate 136-foot intervals; each pier footprint would be 105 square feet. Total estimated cost of both alternatives is $9.3 million in 1992 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in an improved highway network, opportunities for dispersed recreational development, improved access for Funny River residents to vital services such as emergency vehicles, reduced travel distances for Funny River residents to obtain goods and services, reduced commuting distances to jobs and schools, and an alternative escape route in the event of forest fires. Recreational and small-scale commercial development would be encouraged. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, some 44,000 cubic yards of fill would be placed in four acres of palustrine wetlands. Contaminated runoff into the Kenai River would increase with greater traffic volumes.

The questions of landscape stability and sustainability were tested at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The military reservation was selected because it has been the site of engineering training for over 5 decades. Prior to US Army land-use, the landscape was undergoing disequilibrium resulting from historic land-use activities. Landscape changes were examined using an integrated approach. Available information and technologies were applied to answer geomorphic inquiries of equilibrium and recovery. Accepted soil-loss equations were used to back calculate sediment loads over decade time-scales. Modern sediment studies offered calibration rates for specific events. Estimated annual sediment yields were used to validate soil-loss equations. Soil-loss simulations suggested that the sediment load increased sharply in response to historic land-use change between 1800 and 1938. Increased rates continued during the first few decades of US Army ownership. Current conservation practices have reduced the rate of soil loss and the landscape seems to be in recovery. Time-series simulations of RUSLE reveal a reduction in soil-loss over the last decade. The values derived from the soil-loss simulations and studies still leave uncertainty due to variability in the geomorphic system. To supplement simulations, oral histories inquired about twenty century land use and erosional processes. Many informants agreed that the land is reaching a stable state. Collectively, the several lines of evidence when viewed synoptically suggest that the landscape is healing from past stresses. This study supports the US Army's commitment that landscape stewardship is essential for land-use sustainability.

Maintenance of these roads is critical for mission readiness, and the safety of soldiers, civilians, and machinery, but can be expensive. WES is developing a road management plan to strategically use available funds for re-engineering and planning a maintenance schedule for the unsurfaced range-road network. UMR GE students conducted the road survey. The team created a systematic method for field inspection, data collection, and evaluation while applying the U. S. Army Corps of Engineer's Rating Unsurfaced Roads procedure. Seven distresses--improper cross-section, inadequate drainage, corrugations, dust, potholes, ruts, and loose aggregate--were measured. An unsurfaced road condition index (URCI) was calculated based on the seven distress ratings. The unsurfaced roads ranged in condition from poor to excellent. This data was transposed into a database and linked to a Geographic Information System (GIS). The resulting GIS data was used to display problem reaches and corresponding distresses. One problem is that the roads were designed for lower loads and volume of traffic. Therefore, heavy-loaded roads will require improved design such as additional aggregate. Local sources of aggregate include river chert gravel or quarried crushed dolomite. Alternative engineering solutions are being considered. For example, lime treatment of the natural subgrades will increase the CBR and thereby reduce the thickness of needed aggregate. Other engineering, such as drainage rerouting, will lower long term maintenance costs. With the help of GPS/GIS technology, and the fieldwork inspection information, decisions can be made to upgrade FLW' roads into better service level for the future training.

Many of these missions supported design requirements for Humanitarian Civic Action (HCA) wells but did not follow standard military water well construction practice. These design requirements have often been the result of local well construction regulations or the need for well yield that exceeded typical design. Each branch of our military has water well drilling capability, and most drilling systems are similar in depth and hole size ratings. Standard well completion kits for mobilization have been developed for construction of wells up to 455 m (1,500 ft) deep. Normal training for military well drillers has been limited, and the emphasis is on completion of a tactical, low-yield well where many potable well construction practices are not required. Humanitarian Civic Action well drilling missions have become an integral part of Nation Assistance exercises. Some HCA wells required special training, modifications to drilling equipment, and special well designs to meet the goals of the exercise. The probability of success had to be high for these missions to be approved. Consequently, civilian geologists were used to support the siting, well design, and procurement of materials. Some of these complex missions required on-site consultation. A specialized team of personnel including geologists, hydrogeologists, and geophysicists, designated the Water Detection Response Team, was assembled during the 1980s by the Corps of Engineers to site well drilling locations for military drilling operations and is used for many HCA missions.

These theories emphasize the roles of a) lateral grain sorting and b) local vertical sorting in producing overall downstream fining. The former produces fining through differential mobility of sediment patches with varying mean size; the latter produces fining by incorporating part of the coarse surface layer in the deposit. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a narrow channel (0.3 m) so that only the vertical-sorting mechanism could operate, using a mixture of 70% gravel and 30% sand. Deposits were produced with a prominent, sharp gravel-sand transition. The deposit upstream of this gravel front fined by about a factor of two in D (sub 90) over its length. A fourfold change in rate of deposition over three runs produced little change in the overall fining pattern. Experiments were also conducted in a wider channel (2.4 m) to allow lateral segregation to develop. The first test run showed weak lateral segregation and a fining pattern comparable to the narrow-channel runs although with somewhat weaker front development. In the second test run, the sand content of the feed mix was increased to about 50%. This produced well-developed patches and a continuous downstream fining pattern from gravel to sand with no clear front. This pattern is similar to that shown in field data collected from a rapidly aggrading reach of the North Fork Toutle River near Mt. St. Helens, Washington. These field data agree well with the lateral segregation fining theory, while the vertical-segregation theory shows good agreement with the results of the narrow-channel flume runs.

Integrated modeling systems provide homogeneous tools under a common shell with a high degree of user support in the process of data preparation, model computation and analysis of results. Besides the benefits of this architecture, the available algorithms and methods are mostly limited to the system's internal implementations. Based on the standards of Shared Libraries and Dynamic Link Libraries, it becomes possible to integrate external user-supplied modules for extending the internal functionality and to overcome certain limitations of the modeling system. Following the concept of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE), an Interface Manager (IFM) has been developed for the subsurface flow and transport simulation package FEFLOW. With the help of a working example the usage of the IFM is demonstrated. The parameter estimation package PEST is coupled to FEFLOW. JF - Hydroinformatics... - Proceedings of the ...

The study area includes the Mississippi River from Tarbert Landing, Mississippi, located at mile 306 above Head of Passes (AHP), just downstream of the control structure at Old River, to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Southwest Pass. In order to determine the extent of the riverine effects, a HEC-6 numerical model was developed. HEC-6 is a numerical model used to predict changes in river profiles due to deposition and scour over a period of time. Two modifications to the HEC-6 code were necessary in order to accurately reflect the actual processes occurring in the Mississippi River. First, an option for the reintroduction of dredged material back into the system was added. The other modification was an increase in the number of available local inflow/outflow points from nine to nineteen.

Morgan was the examination of the structure, nature and origin of mudlumps. The origin of these features, which are virtually unique to the Mississippi River delta, had been the subject of much debate since they were first reported in 1528. Morgan and his colleagues concluded that they are small diapirs that have resulted from upthrusting of plastic clays in response to overloading by distributary mouth bar sands. These mudlump studies led to further research into sediment instability across the subaqueous delta of the Mississippi. This research, much of it conducted by Morgan's students, was greatly enhanced as the petroleum industry began to work in deeper water. Eventually side-scan sonar and high-resolution geophysical techniques were added showing the complicated nature of the subaqueous delta front. This paper summarizes the initial work of Morgan on sediment instability and mudlump formation and discusses the sediment instabilities that occur on the subaqueous delta front off the river mouths.

No element or grid connectivity is needed. In particular, when the nodal distribution is required to be changed during numerical analysis, the FPMs are especially advantageous, since a node can be easily moved, removed or added in the domain without mesh modification and the corresponding nodal and element renumbering. In this paper, the theoretical aspects and the implementation of a FP model of the element-free Galerkin-type are described. Then the model is applied to the hydraulic analysis of dredging alternatives of a reach riverbed to obtain the best one. Because the morphology and geometry of the considered domain are different from one alternative to another, the use of the FPM results in a considerable saving of the manual work in the numerical analysis.

The frozen soil method offers two concepts for retaining waste. One concept is to freeze the entire waste area into a solid block of frozen soil thus locking the waste in situ. For small areas where the contaminated soil does not include vessels that would rupture from frost action, this concept may be simpler to install. A second concept, of course, is to create a frozen soil barrier to confine the waste within prescribed unfrozen soil boundaries; initial research in this area was funded by EPA, Cincinnati, OH, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The paper discusses advantages and limitations, a case study from Oak Ridge, TN, and a mesh generation program that simulates the cryogenic technology.

AN - 36408832; 7184 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 10.5 miles of Battlefield Boulevard South (Route 168) from Peaceful Road to the North Carolina state line in the city of Chesapeake, located in southeastern Virginia, is proposed. Within the project limits, Route 168 is a two-lane, non-limited-access roadway and serves as the primary north-south connector linking the Hampton Roads area and point north and west with coastal recreational and resort areas on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It also supports local commuter traffic between North Carolina and the Hampton Roads area. Existing traffic conditions on Route 168 are unacceptable due to traffic volumes which exceed design capacity, and conditions are expected to deteriorate as traffic volumes are projected to increase a minimum of 250 percent by the year 2015. Numerous safety problems also affect the highway. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the September 1995 final EIS. The three action alternatives include a four-lane, limited-access expressway on the new location (Alternative 1); a four- to eight-lane arterial on the existing alignment (Alternative 5); and a combination alternative, using the Alternative 1 design and alignment for the northern portion and the Alternative 5 design and alignment for the southern portion. Regardless of the alternative chosen, bridge construction at the Northwest River would be required. Alternative 1, with modifications, has been selected as the preferred alternative in this final EIS. The estimated cost of the alternative is $84.9 million. [The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration has adopted the U.S. Department of the Army's Corps of Engineers' final EIS number 960421 filed on September 6, 1996. The Federal Highway Administration was not a cooperating agency for the final EIS. Recirculation of the document is necessary under Section 1506.3(b) of the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The realignment and upgrading of this section of Route 168 would relieve traffic congestion within the corridor, while improving safety, efficiency, and convenience of transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 109 acres of residential land, three acres of commercial land, 23 acres of upland forest, 198 acres of farmland, 27 families, three businesses, and one non-profit organization, a church. The habitat for the endangered Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew would be adversely affected. The Doughty House, a structure of architectural significance, along with three archaeological sites, would be adversely affected. Unacceptable levels of service would continue to be experienced along the route in the year 2015, though the preferred alternative would result in the fewest occurrences of this problem. Noise standards would be exceed at two locations, and noise levels would increase substantially for 28 receptors. The facility would traverse nine streams and the Northwest River.

AN - 17602445; 4728115 AB - Since 1977, the US Army Corps of Engineers Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS) has monitored New England's offshore dredged material disposal sites. DAMOS has shown that by using monitoring information to make management decisions, open water disposal of dredged sediments is possible with minimal environmental impact. Over the past two decades, DAMOS has answered many of the key questions about dredged material impacts. Yet the need for such a programme remains strong from both the technical and public interest perspectives. The programme continues to monitor projects that are extending our knowledge in the areas of deeper water capping, geotechnical behaviour of capping and capped materials, and biological response to contaminants. These investigations, along with the need for specific disposal site surveys, will continue to provide valuable technical information needed by the public, policy makers, and regulators to make critical decisions on dredged sediment management.

While violence has and will continue around water, water is far more humanity's learning ground for building community than it is a cause of war. Increased interdependence through water sharing plans and infrastructure networks can be seen as increases of our flexibility and capacity to respond to exigencies of nature and reduce our vulnerability to events such as droughts and floods and thereby increase security. The history of social organization around river basins and watersheds is humanity's richest records of our dialogue with nature. It is among the most fertile areas for learning about how the political and technical interact. The spatial and functional characteristics of the river basins influenced human settlement and interaction long before the idea of the river basin started to be formalized into legal and administrative terms. The direction of flow of rivers influenced the movement of civilization. Rivers have been crucial to means of communication leading to the formation of political units. The article concludes with calling for new ethics in water management. It calls for an ethic built on: a sense of purpose and on an active co-designing with nature and not solely on preservation; a balance between humans and technology and among structural and on-structural approaches; and a new balance of the sacred and utilitarian in water.

Policies that ensure effective contemporary water management will form the core of a "no regrets" strategy that will contemporaneously serve adaptation to climate change and uncertainty. Hence, an "adaptive management" approach rather than an "anticipatory strategy" is warranted for most water management actions. An effective water management system depends, to a large extent, on a well-functioning institutional framework and the treatment of water as an economic and social good, both of which are a prerequisite for adaptation to contemporary climate variability. It will also serve as the foundation for responding to uncertain climate change scenarios.

Questions targeted three areas of concern for fish and wildlife agencies: (1) what type of permit, if any, was required; (2) what information did the agency provide to the applicant; and (3) what mitigative techniques were required of the applicant by an agency or recommended to protect aquatic life from explosive pressures. Thirty-three state natural resource agencies require permits. Only two states, Oregon and Pennsylvania, have permit application forms specific to underwater explosive use and natural resource protection. Only five states provide an information package to the blaster. Seventeen mitigation measures were identified. They fall into three general categories: (1) review of the explosive design and provide mitigation recommendations based on that design; (2) evaluation of the potential impact and mitigative recommendations based on biological considerations; and, (3) evaluation of potential impact and require physical measures (e.g., bubble curtains, physical barriers, etc.) to minimize impacts.

Decades of research on juvenile salmonid passage led to the installation of turbine intake screens to guide juvenile salmon into bypass systems at most US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) dams on the Columbia and lower Snake rivers. These screens guide from 10 to 80% of the juveniles away from turbines, depending on time of year, species and stage of development. However, recent declines in salmon stocks have precipitated their listing for protection and recovery under the US Endangered Species Act. Regional goals established to recover these stocks have been set for each dam: passage of at least 80% of the juvenile migrants through a nonturbine route, and 95% juvenile fish survival. To achieve these goals, surface-oriented systems are being developed that bypass fish around turbines and reduce forebay holding, delay and loss to predation. Three surface bypass concepts are discussed: deep slot, surface weir and corner collector. Physical design criteria include attraction velocity, bypass discharge volume, entrance depth and width, depth of interception, zone of separation and zone of influence. Hydroacoustic data indicate that use of existing surface bypass routes by juvenile migrants can be greater than 90%. Use varies based on vertical distribution of migrants in the immediate vicinity of dams, and is higher during daytime hours. Radio telemetry provides data on juvenile salmonid approach patterns into the dam forebay, preferred passage routes, and holding and delay behaviour under varying dam operating conditions. Both methodologies have strengths and weaknesses, but when used in conjunction they enhance our understanding of fish passage and behaviour. Integrating behavioural data with that of forebay hydraulics provides the comprehensive knowledge required to design effective surface bypass systems.

The Corps acknowledges its obligation to make its coastal expertise available for all projects, not just federal projects. The State of California has also been a leader in the development of guidance for coastal management. The Resources Agency of California has gone to a great deal of effort to produce the strategic planning document, "California's Ocean Resources: An Agenda for the Future." This visionary document sets a standard for other coastal states in the evaluation of important issues and in the establishment of direction for management guidance. The Corps of Engineers is committed to working with the state and local agencies, in all ways that we are able, to implement the California Agenda.

AN - 16343185; 6926 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 28-mile segment of US Route (US) 219 between Springville and Salamanca, located in western New York, is proposed. The existing highway is a two-lane rural arterial. The project would begin at the southern end of the existing four-lane divided US Expressway at NY Route 39 in Springville and continue south along US 219 through predominantly rural areas of Erie and Cattaraugus counties to State Route (SR) 17, Southern Tier Expressway in Salamanca. The project would traverse the towns of Concord, Ashford, Ellicottville, and Great Valley as well as the villages of Springville and Ellicottville, the City of Salamanca, and the Seneca Nations Lands at Allegany. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The Upgrade Alternative would involve the development of a four-lane rural arterial. In most areas, the existing roadway would be widened to include four 3.6-meter travel lanes, with a 1.2-meter flush median and 2.4-meter shoulders. Turning lanes would be included at major intersections, and a continuous two-way left-turn lane would be provided through Springville. Alignment improvements would be included in areas with no major right-of-way constraints. An at-grade railroad crossing would be eliminated near the Hamlet of Great Valley. Most of the existing bridges along the route would be reconstructed. An at-grade intersection could be provided at State Route 417, though a flyover would also be considered. Bypasses would be provided for Ellicottville and Salamanca and could be provided for Ashford Hollow. The facility would allow unrestricted passing. The Freeway Alternative would feature two 3.6-meter travel lanes in each direction, three-meter right shoulders, 1.8-meter left shoulders, and variable width medians (11 meters to 80 meters) except in areas where right-of-way widths do not allow medians; in restricted width areas, barriers are proposed. Bridges would be provided at Cattaraugus Creek, Beaver Meadows Road, SR 242, Somerville Valley, and the intersection of the facility with SR 417, Great Valley Creek, two railway tracks, and the Allegheny River. The existing US 219 would be retained. The estimated costs of the Upgrade Alternative and the Freeway Alternative are $226.2 million and $484.1 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The allowance of unrestricted passing in areas currently limited to restricted passing would improve traffic flow under the Upgrade Alternative, and roadway capacity would be doubled. The Freeway Alternative would provide, by far, the most superior travel times for highway users in the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Upgrade Alternative would adversely affect 13 of 24 major farm operations in the corridor, displacing 191.4 acres of farmland, while the Freeway Alternative would adversely affect 18 farms, displacing 409.7 acres of farmland. The acquisition of a total of 414.9 acres of right-of-way would result in the displacement of 33 residential units and three commercial buildings occupied by two businesses under the Upgrade Alternative. The acquisition of a total of 2094.5 acres of right-of-way would result in the displacement of 56 residential units and 11 commercial buildings occupied by two businesses under the Freeway Alternative, and 33 residences and three commercial buildings under the Upgrade Alternative. Noise impacts would adversely affect 491 properties under the No Action Alternative, 497 under the Upgrade Alternative, and 573 under the Freeway Alternative. The project would traverse Seneca Nations lands at Allegany, requiring an easement.

Electrokinetic soil treatment is an emerging technology that could prove to be very effective in the remediation of these sites. "Real-world" heavy metal contaminated (Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cr(III)) soils from three military sites with varying soil properties were subjected to electrokinetic treatment in the laboratory. Metal extractants (chelating agents and acids) were studied and found to be effective in enhancing the electrokinetic process. Results indicated that heavy metal removal efficiencies varied in the three soils tested. In one case, removal efficiencies of 90 percent and 60 percent were obtained for Cd and Cr, respectively, for the nitric acid amended experiments. For another case, over 60 percent of the total Pb in the system was deposited near the cathode for the non-amended and the citric-acid amended tests. Conversely, in the third case, the electrokinetic soil-washing treatment process failed to produce significant removal of any metal contaminant. The discrepancies that exist between the metal removal results of the three soils were attributed to the different physiochemical characteristics of each soil.

AN - 16353390; 6721 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of property made available by the realignment of specified missions at the U.S. Army Garrison Fitzsimons (formerly the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center), located in Aurora in northeastern Colorado, is proposed. Since 1918, the installation had provided medical services. The 577-acre facility, which is located about eight miles east of downtown Denver, was closed in July 1996. Three disposal alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, under which the Army would not dispose of the property but would maintain it in caretaker status, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action, the Army would dispose of the entire installation and not retain ownership of any property or facilities except as required for the operation and support of the Edgar J. McWhethy Army Reserve Center. Following the disposal, the installation would be redeveloped under the auspices of the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority, the local development authority established by the City of Aurora. Over a period of 50 years, a planned $1.5 billion phased capital construction program would result in approximately 7.3 million square feet of space and facilities for up to 18,000 jobs. The focal point of the redevelopment would be a 217-acre campus for the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Another 147 acres would be used to develop a university-related bioscience park. Other uses would include recreation (General's Park), a state veterans' nursing home, temporary residential facilities for veterans visiting family members (Fisher House), a government research center, a human services (homeless assistance) center, a police and fire department training complex, a swimming pool (municipal recreation program), an on-site convenience shopping center, a child development center, business and industrial areas, and open space. Transportation networks improvements to enhance access to and circulation throughout the site would also occur. Under the Encumbered Disposal Alternative (the preferred alternative), the Army would impose certain reuse encumbrances on future owners as a condition of disposal and reuse, including the continuation of remedial activities, limited access to property for ingress and egress, and ground water contamination remediation. Under the Unencumbered Disposal Alternative, fewer or no Army restrictions would be placed on future use. Three reuse scenarios representing medium-low, medium, and medium-high intensity reuse are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The disposal and reuse of the former Army parcel would satisfy legislative requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The disposal alternatives assuming medium- and high-intensity reuse scenarios would include added demands on limited water supplies, traffic congestion, increased air pollution emissions from traffic sources, utility system deficiencies, and adverse effects on cultural resources and biological resources.

AN - 36403099; 6720 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the maintenance of the existing Columbia River and Lower Willamette River (C&LW) navigation channel for the next 20 years, located in Oregon and Washington, is proposed. A navigation channel has been maintained in the Columbia River since 1878. The current 40-foot deep and 600-foot wide channel, which was authorized in 1962 and completed in 1976, extends from river mile (RM) 3 to 106.5 in the Columbia River, and to RM 11.6 in the Willamette River. The following port districts are located within the project area: Astoria, Saint Helens, and Portland in Oregon; and Longview, Kalama, Woodland, Wahkiakum, and Vancouver in Washington. The project area also includes adjacent lands used for the disposal of dredged material as well as existing ocean disposal sites. Issues of concern include the effects of dredging and dredged material disposal on whales, sea turtles, sea lions, and salmon. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft supplement to the final EIS of 1975. The proposed plan (Alternative 4) would include the use of 19 upland disposal sites (1,194 acres) and one beach nourishment site (151 acres) at Miller Sands Spit. Pile dikes would be constructed at Miller Sands Spit in order to stabilize this very erosive beach. Flowlane disposal of dredged material would be allowed in water depths of 45 to 65 feet. The bulk of the maintenance dredging would be done using the Port of Portland's pipeline dredge and a hopper dredge owned by the federal government. The estimated cost of the proposed plan is $89.0 million over 20 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region and to shippers. The 40-foot channel would reduce the number of vessel trips and per-ton shipping costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The widening of the navigation channel between RM 28 and RM 33 and the construction of the pile dike field would disrupt benthic habitat, a potential food source for juvenile salmonid. Undeveloped reach recreation sites would be lost as a result of the disposal plans.
