AN - 36399815; 4874 AB - PURPOSE: The completion of a hurricane evacuation route from eastern Pleasure Island in Baldwin County to Interstate 10 (I-10) on the mainland in Alabama is proposed. The project area is located along the Gulf Coast in an area susceptible to tropical cyclones or hurricanes. Alabama Highway 59 (AL 59), a two- to four-lane highway, currently serves as the main evacuation route for Pleasure Island. The highway, which is severely congested during the peak summer tourist season, is the only north-south highway in the project area. All other north-south traffic is carried by the two-lane AL 161 and county roads, chiefly CR 87 and CR 95. By way of contrast, four highways serve east-west traffic: AL 182, US 98, US 90, and I-10. In 1985, a state-sponsored study of the area concluded that an emergency evacuation of Pleasure Island would exceed the 12-hour hurricane warning period and that the population would be in peril if a severe hurricane approached the area. The draft EIS for Pleasure Island considers the 7.3-mile portion of the evacuation route from the island to the mainland. Under the proposed action, AL 161 would be widened to five lanes from AL 182 to AL 180, where the proposed five-lane section on AL 161 would be extended on new location. The roadway would join existing CR 95 northwest of Wolf Air Field. The Draft EIS for Lower Baldwin County considers the efficient and expeditious distribution of traffic once it is on the mainland; this section of roadway would extend for approximately 16 miles. Two construction alternatives are under consideration: Alternatives 1 and 3A. Under each, the facility would extend the evacuation route from CR 95, near CR 20, to I-10. It would be a four-lane, divided highway with future interchanges at US 98 and US 90. Under the two alternatives, the facility would share a common alignment along CR 95 from near CR 20 to north of US 98. At that point, it would split: the facility under Alternative 1 would continue to follow the CR 95 alignment; while under Alternative 3A, it would curve to the northeast. The points of intersection with I-10 are 2.3 miles apart. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide enhanced public safety during hurricane season and substantially reduce the time needed to evacuate the coastal area. It would also improve everyday access to the area and stimulate the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: On Pleasure Island, under the preferred alternative, the project would displace three residences, five businesses, and one fire station. Under Alternative 2A, approximately 35 residences, three businesses, and one fire station would be displaced. Some encroachment on lands of the Gulf State Park would result from the widening of AL 161. Other adverse impacts would include the loss of wetlands, and the conversion of farmlands and woodlands to highway use.

AN - 36396559; 4908 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a storm damage reduction project for the barrier island of Long Beach, Nassau County, 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 draft EIS. Under the proposed action (Alternative 5), the project would involve widening the existing beach with the placement of hydraulic fill, the rehabilitation of 16 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. 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, 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 first cost of the project is $67.7 million, and the benefit to cost ratio is 2.0. 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 - 36404834; 4888 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the approximately 15-mile-long segment I-2 of the State Highway 99 (SH 99), the Grand Parkway, in Harris and Chambers counties, Texas, is proposed. The project would complete the area's regional mobility plan. The parkway was conceived in 1960; SH 99, along with SH 146, would form a circumferential loop around Houston. Upon completion, SH 99 would also provide access and increased mobility to areas without current access to the freeway network; expedite implementation of thoroughfare plans in various areas in support of business and residential growth; provide freeway capacity in those areas requiring additional emergency evacuation routes during hurricanes; and provide a central city bypass, relieving existing congestion. Segment I-2 would form a corridor intersecting SH 225 approximately 19 miles southeast of Houston and Interstate 10 (East) approximately 29 miles east of Houston. Prevailing land uses in the study corridor are farming, ranching, and industrial activities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 6), segment I-2 would ultimately be a six-lane, limited-access freeway in a 300- to 400-foot right-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Segment I-2 would respond to current and projected area transportation needs, using existing roadways to the maximum practical extent. It would also reroute long range trips away from SH 146 through Baytown; this would shorten travel time, provide an alternate route for hazardous cargo, and reduce peak hour congestion. Bridges and other structures for stream and other channel crossings would not alter local drainage patterns. Under the preferred alternative, land from a publicly-owned park, recreation area of wildlife or waterfowl refuge would not be used. There are no known areas of unique scenic quality in the project vicinity; and no known archaeological or historic structures would be disturbed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would involve the acquisition of 586 acres. Some four acres of wetlands and 126 acres of prime or unique farmland would be adversely affected. Two Resource Conservation and Recovery Act sites, four underground storage tanks, and four spill incident sites would be located in or near the right of way. Under some of the action alternatives, construction would require the relocation of commercial and residential landowners. Vegetative communities, including wooded areas and farmland, would be removed; some floral and faunal populations would be destroyed. Noise exposure within the immediate project area would increase. Segment I-2 could contribute to higher regional ozone concentrations.

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

AN - 36395457; 4904 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of navigability of Humboldt Bay Harbor, in Humboldt County, California, is proposed. Humboldt Bay is an estuary approximately 225 miles north of San Francisco; it is the only harbor between San Francisco and Coos Bay, Oregon, with deep-draft channels. The bay is an important spawning and nursery ground for Pacific herring, and it provides habitat for some 95 fish species, over 200 bird species, and several marine mammal species. Seven of California's twelve shellfish reserves occupy the Bay. Five bird species and three plant species identified as endangered occur in areas affected by the project. Commercial and recreational fishing and timber products are the leading industries, and extensive educational and scientific research is conducted on ecological issues. Issues of concern include the effects on air quality, noise levels, hydrology and water resources, geology and sediment quality, biological resources, cultural resources, transportation, and socioeconomic factors. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the improvements would include deepening the Bar and Entrance channels to a depth of 48 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW); deepening the North Bay, Samoa Channel, and Samoa Turning Basin to a depth of 38 feet below MLLW; widening the Entrance Channel on the north side of the channel from the jetty heads through the middle ground to the turn in the North Bay Channel (with maximum widths ranging from 200 to 275 feet); moving the Entrance Channel edge north and away from the South Jetty by 100 feet; and widening and realigning the Samoa Turning Basin entrance. The project would consist of dredging the navigation channels, and the disposal of approximately 4.1 million cubic yards of dredged sediments in the Pacific Ocean at the proposed Section 102 Humboldt Open Ocean Disposal Site, and approximately 26,000 cubic yards of dredged sediments unsuitable for unconfined aquatic disposal at the Louisiana Pacific land site, located on the North Spit of Humboldt Bay. The project would be expected to be completed in 10 to 11 months, with upland disposal of dredged material completed in approximately 3 to 4 days. The first cost for construction would be $11.38 million and the annualized cost $707,300. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve efficiencies in navigation and provide safer channels for existing deep-draft vessels calling at the harbor. The annual benefits derived from the project would be $2.72 million. The net annual benefits would be $1.57 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Diesel-powered equipment used in dredging activities would create significant emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Odors could be emitted from dredged spoils exposed to the atmosphere due to decomposition of organic matter. Short-term nutrient enrichment caused by potential elevated concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in the dredged material could increase water turbidity by enhancing primary production.

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

AN - 36407701; 4906 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the harbor operation and maintenance plan for the Savannah Harbor, which comprises the lower 21.3 miles of the Savannah River in Chatham County, Georgia, and Jasper County, South Carolina, is proposed. At present, a 42-feet-deep navigation channel is maintained from the mouth of the Savannah River to Kings Island Turning Basin. However, recent actions taken in the harbor, including the widening of the ship channel near City Front and the discontinued operation of the Tidegate, have modified the hydrodynamics of the harbor and could affect its ability to serve the needs of deep-draft commercial navigation. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 8), the project would involve the maintenance of the existing channel as well as the dredging of berthing areas during channel maintenance and advance maintenance deepening of turning basins. Confined disposal facilities located in the middle of the harbor would be used on a rotating basis for the disposal of dredged materials. In addition, dikes would be constructed around disposal area 14A, an access road would be constructed to disposal area 2A in order to allow deposited sediments to be transported by truck, dredged sediments would be placed on eroded portions of Tybee and Daufuskie islands, submerged berms would be constructed in the nearshore areas along the south side of the Bar Channel, and a mitigation plan would implemented in order to restore wetlands lost at Disposal Area 14A. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region without increasing the amount of dredged material requiring disposal. Under the preferred alternative, the project would result in the most efficient use of the harbor while avoiding any adverse impacts on threatened or endangered species, salinity, or water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The excavation of berthing and turning areas would destroy benthic organisms. Minor temporary losses of wetlands would occur as weirs are replaced and new discharge pipes are installed near disposal areas.

AN - 36383864; 4882 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Route 13 from the interchange with the Route 10 bypass just south of Richmond to Route 24 just south of Lexington, a distance of ten miles, in Lafayette and Ray counties, Missouri, is proposed. The roadway would consist of a four-lane facility with two traffic lanes in each direction and full-paved shoulders, separated by a depressed grass median; the upgrade would require a relocation of Route 13 and a bridge across the Missouri River. Existing Route 13, which was constructed in the 1920's, suffers from substandard geometrics, inadequate roadway cross-section, impassability during flood conditions, and a narrow bridge structure in need of rehabilitation. Portions of the roadway lie within the 100-year floodplain; during the summer of 1993, access to the Lexington bridge was impassible due to flood conditions. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative MOPE), the facility would utilize a two-mile segment of existing Route 13 out of Richmond, then bypass Henrietta and Lexington to the north. Portions of the roadway would be elevated to the 500-year floodplain elevation. The alignment would cross the Missouri River approximately one mile north of the existing bridge. Under the No Action Alternative, the project would involve only the rehabilitation of the existing bridge. The estimated costs under the preferred alternative are $101.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would reduce accident rates on existing Route 13 and adjoining routes, improve response time for emergency vehicles, improve access to the lake areas in central and southern Missouri, and improve overall transportation efficiency. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would displace approximately 270 acres of prime farmland, result in nine residential relocations, and adversely affect 12.8 acres of wetlands, 17.5 acres of woodlands, and two potentially significant archaeological sites. In addition, 231 acres of floodplain would be filled, and two permanent streams and six intermittent streams would be crossed.

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

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

Preparation date: October 31, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEASTERN EXPRESSWAY, FROM I-464/I-64 TO ROUTE 44, CITIES OF CHESAPEAKE AND VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1989). AN - 36408895; 4812 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Southeastern Expressway to provide for east-west travel through the cities of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, Virginia, is proposed. The expressway would be located in the extreme southeastern section of Virginia known geographically as the Hampton Roads region. Project study limits extend from Interstate 64 (I-64) between Bainbridge Road and Indian River Road in Chesapeake to the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Expressway (Route 44) between Laskin Road and Birdneck Road, a length of approximately 21 miles and a width averaging approximately 3.5 miles. The expressway would be a multilane grade-separated access-controlled divided highway. Interchanges would be constructed at major existing and proposed crossroads. The design would incorporate six lanes, two high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and standard shoulders; the expressway would have a design speed of 70 miles per hour. Initial corridors under consideration have been reduced to eight alternative groups providing for a total of 39 possible alignments. This draft supplement to the draft EIS of August 1989 documents changes to the project since the issuance of the draft EIS and reduces the number of build alternatives under consideration to five. Alignments would extend from 19.9 to 21.9 miles. The estimated project costs range from $353.8 million to $507.0 million, depending on the alignment selected and specific design considerations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion on existing routes would be relieved through redistribution of traffic patterns. Safety, efficiency, and convenience within the corridor would be improved. The number of accidents on area arterial roads would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions totaling 634 to 695 acres would result in the displacement of 177 to 717 families; displacements could be exacerbated due to the shortage of low- to moderate-income housing in the area. As a result, minority group residents could be inconvenienced. Six to 13 businesses would be displaced, along with 3 to 4 nonprofit organizations, and 1 church. Parkland, farmland, wetlands, forestland, and archaeologically, historically, and architecturally significant sites could also be adversely affected, as well as associated wildlife habitat, and two locally important scenic waterways. Two to 15 neighborhoods would be disrupted, including minority neighborhoods. Noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors. The endangered Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew would be impacted.

AN - 36395356; 4783 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of the native anadromous fisheries and ecosystem of the Elwha River in Clallam County, Washington, is proposed. Much of the 45-mile-long river flows through the Olympic National Park. In the early 1900s, the free-flowing Elwha River was blocked by two hydroelectric dams. In 1912 the Elwha Dam was built 4.9 miles from the mouth of the river, creating Lake Aldwell. In 1926, the Glines Canyon dam was built 8.5 miles further upstream, creating Lake Mills. The presence and operation of the dams blocked the migration path for several species of salmon and trout, which, after maturing in the ocean, return to Elwha to spawn, and the dams prevent the downstream flow of nutrients, sediment, and woody debris needed by the fish to spawn and rear juveniles. The fish were also important to the diet, culture, and economy of a local Indian tribe, the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the restoration project would include the acquisition and decommissioning of both dams, the draining of the reservoirs, and the removal of all or part of the dams, powerhouses, and auxiliary structures. These actions would require the diversion of the river around the dams and the management of 14 million to 15 million cubic yards of sediments that have accumulated behind the dams over the past 81 years. The river could be diverted by way of a tunnel, surface diversion channel, low level diversion through the dam structure, or by notching dam down from the top. Sediment could be transported naturally by the river, stabilized on site, or dredged and removed offsite. Pieces of the dam or historically important structures could be left in place. Restoration efforts would begin by planting some species in the middle and upper river while the dams are still in place. To accommodate juvenile downstream migration of these species, turbine runners might need to be removed at both dams. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would fully restore the Elwha River ecosystem, return the cultural and economic focus of the Lower Elwha S'Klallam Tribe, and promote the federal trust responsibility to affected Indian tribes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deactivation of the dams would result in the loss of 18.7 megawatts of hydroelectric power now produced at these two sites. If sediment were allowed to erode naturally, the finer-grained particles, like silt and clay, could adversely affect fish or other aquatic organisms.

AN - 36408838; 4825 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,172-acre water supply reservoir to be located in Johnson and Williamson counties, near the community of Creal Springs, Illinois, is proposed. The reservoir would provide water to the city of Marion and several neighboring developments. Marion is a community in south central Illinois, located 100 air miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. The Lake of Egypt Water District, a rural area located south of Marion, has in principle an agreement with Marion to purchase up to three million gallons of water if a new water supply source is developed. The current water source, Marion City Lake located south of the city limits on Limb Creek, lacks the capacity to meet anticipated demands; its supply is routinely supplemented by pipeline from Herrin Lake, which also has a limited capacity. In addition, significant treatment is required to ensure that the water from the Marion City Lake meets federal standards. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The reservoir would be created on Sugar Creek; the dam would be located one mile south of the community of Creal Springs and 10 miles southeast of Marion. The lake would have a dependable yield of 8.0 million gallons per day; it would require a pipeline 12.2 miles long to connect to the water treatment in Marion. For much of its length, this pipeline would follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way; 14 stream crossings would be necessary. An additional eight miles of pipeline would be needed to transport water to the Lake of Egypt Water District treatment facility. Other alternatives under consideration include a No Action Alternative, the purchasing of treated water from nearby communities, and building new pipelines to nearby lakes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, the reservoir would provide a long-term dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities. The reservoir would provide opportunities for fishing and boating. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would require the clearing of 9 acres of woodland and 14 acres of cropland, and the filling of one acre of wetlands. The reservoir would inundate 533 acres of agricultural lands, 594 vegetated acres, and 28 individual wetland sites comprising over 40 acres. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, would be lost as a result of reservoir development. Eleven historic and prehistoric sites have been identified in the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: October 13, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO FAJARDO, SECTION 205 FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT, PUERTO RICO. AN - 36396132; 4828 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the lower Rio Fajardo at Fajardo on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico is proposed. The river has a drainage area of about 26 square miles. Its headwaters lie in the Caribbean National Forest on the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains, roughly 3,450 feet above sea level. High rainfall over very steep headwaters in the rain forests of the Luquillo Mountains and a series of natural topographic constrictions in the lower valley, can result in major floods that peak rapidly at dangerously high levels, especially in the Maternillo/Puerto Real neighborhoods near the sea. Roughly 785 families would be affected by a 100-year flood. Total damages would range from $5.1 million for the 10-year flood $11.0 million for the 100-year flood. Under the recommended plan, Standard Project Level of protection would be provided. It would consist of four segments of levees with a total length of about 2,105 meters, a low flow structure, two road ramps, interior drainage facilities, and a wetlands mitigation plan. The levees would have a top width of 3.7 meters. Interior drainage elements would include a culvert under Jerusalem Avenue and five drainage structures. The plan would protect the communities Maternillo, Mansion de Sapo, and Playa de Fajardo at Punto Fajardo, the Santa Isidra development, the Pueblo sector, and San Pedro development located along the southern fringe of the town of Fajardo. The total first cost under the recommended plan is $5.5 million, and the benefit-to-cost ratio is 3.7. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for vulnerable areas near the river and reduce annual flood damages by 97 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Punta Fajardo levee would cross six acres of a coastal wetland forest dominated by mangroves and salt marsh formations, and reduce freshwater flushing in another 22 acres that would be isolated north of the levee. Roughly three acres of estuarine wetlands and three acres of higher, ecotonal area would be buried under this levee. Punta Fajardo levee would occupy about 0.5 acres of river bottom; Santa Isidra levee would cross cross less than 0.5 acres of riparian wetlands.

Preparation date: October 13, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRIDGE OVER LAKE OAHE, EMMONS AND SIOUX COUNTIES, NORTH DAKOTA. AN - 36405103; 4804 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across Lake Oahe on the Missouri River in order to connect Emmons and Sioux counties, North Dakota, is proposed. The bridge would be located approximately midway between Bismarck, North Dakota, and Mobridge, South Dakota. Construction of the Lake Oahe project in 1958 created a transportation barrier to traffic in south-central North Dakota. No bridge crossings exist along the 100-mile stretch of the river between Bismarck and Mobridge. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alignment D-3) was developed in order to avoid a significant archaeological site on the east side of the lake, as well as sacred Native American sites on the west side of the lake. The alignment would extend approximately 6.25 miles. The bridge and associated causeways would be constructed entirely within a geologic slump area, reducing the amount of future stability problems that would be expected to occur in association with bridges within the other corridors. Bridge length would be 3,020 feet, while the east and west causeways would extend 650 feet and 2,000 feet, respectively. The estimated cost of the project ranges from $54 million to $63 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: East-west travel within the corridor between Bismarck and Mobridge would be enhanced significantly. The bridge would reduce the effects of Lake Oahe on the infrastructure of south-central North Dakota. Economic development and cultural interaction within the region would be fostered. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe would benefit from tax income, employment opportunities, cultural advantages, land use access, and opportunities for additional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction on the preferred alignment would increase the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation significantly. Approximately 288 acres of native prairie would be adversely affected in the short term, and long-term impacts would occur on 19 acres. Regionally significant adverse impacts would include the loss of 7 acres of woodlands, 23 acres of palustrine/riverine/lacustrine wetlands, and 10 acres of prime farmlands. A total of 17 landowners would be adversely affected. Landowner opposition could be a factor adversely affecting development within the selected corridor.

F-14-4(104) MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE AT NIOBRARA, KNOX COUNTY, NEBRASKA, AND NON HOMME COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. AN - 36401475; 4799 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge over the Missouri River connecting Highway N-12 in Nebraska and Highway SD-37 in South Dakota is proposed. The proposal would provide a two-lane facility between the Niobrara, Nebraska, area and the Running Water and Springfield areas in South Dakota. Currently there is a 70-mile segment of the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota, and Fort Randall Dam near Pickstown, South Dakota, without a river crossing. Ferry service was discontinued in 1984. The bridge would be a two-lane structure with a 36-foot clear roadway and two-lane approach roadways with six-foot shoulders. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the alignment would start 1.5 miles east of Niobrara, extend north from N-12, and cross the Missouri River and tie into SD-37 north of Running Water. The facility would cross the downstream portion of the river segment designated as a recreation river and would cross property owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The overall length of the alignment would be 2.5 miles, including 2,950 feet for the bridge itself. Under the other two construction alternatives, the facility would cross the river at a point near Verdel, Nebraska, and a point near Santee, Nebraska, and Springfield, South Dakota. The estimated cost under the preferred alternative is $15.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The structure would provide a convenient river crossing for those living near Niobrara and Running Water. Currently, travelers starting at Niobrara would have to travel approximately 45 miles east to get to Yankton, South Dakota, or 60 miles west to the Fort Randall crossing. By the year 2015, an estimated 340 vehicles would use the crossing each day. The crossing would improve emergency services in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 13 acres of prime farmland and 4 acres of wetlands. Construction activity would temporarily disturb wildlife and the local ecology. The facility would be a visual intrusion in a recognized scenic area. The segment of the river in the study area is part of the Lewis and Clark National Trail. Under all three of the build alternatives, construction would adversely affect one or more historic sites; under the preferred alternative, construction would also adversely affect a historic ferry landing.

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

AN - 36404416; 4802 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a ten-mile bypass of US 70 from its junction with I-40 in Wake County, North Carolina, to US 70 Business in Johnston County is proposed. The four-lane, controlled-access facility would bypass the town of Clayton and provide a vital link in the Intrastate High 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 draft 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, 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 interchange would be located four miles south of the existing US 70; under this alternative, the facility would maintain a more southerly route throughout its proposed length. Under each of the build alternatives, the facility would connect with US 70 Business at the same location. The estimated costs of the project ranges from $63.5 million to $69.5 million, depending on the alternative selected. 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: Right-of-ways requirements under the four build alternatives would displace up to 25 residences and 3 businesses, 62 acres of nontidal wetlands, 197 acres of farmlands, and 284 acres of woodlands. Up to 85 receptors would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards. From 15 to 21 stream crossings would be required.

Preparation date: September 26, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 0332, SECTION B01, MIFFLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36401395; 4808 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of State Route (SR) 322 in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. The corridor length is approximately four miles, extending from the interchange with SR 655 to just north of Mount Pleasant. Within the study area, the existing SR 322 is a two-lane roadway linking two four-lane facilities; it is one of the few remaining unimproved sections of SR 322 between the cities of Harrisburg and State College. The project area has experienced significant levels of development in recent years, and this growth has resulted in increased traffic. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives under consideration include two bypass alternatives, an upgrade of existing SR 322 alternative, and an upgrade and combination bypass alternative. Under the preferred alternative (Green Option 1), the facility would begin just north of the intersection with SR 655, then head northwest on new alignment over a proposed bridge at Tea Creek, then northeast between the Church Hill community and the Mifflin County Airport. The facility would then continue across the Kishacoquillas Valley, approximately 700 feet west of an industrial complex. An interchange with a connector road would be included in order to provide commuters and commercial traffic access to this industrial area. Directly west of Milroy, the facility would head in a northerly direction, with bridges over Lingle and Laurel Creeks and an underpass of existing SR 322, just south of the Mount Pleasant residential community. Traffic would then be routed northeast, bypassing Mount Pleasant on the northeast side, with a bridge over T839. The facility would tie into existing SR322 near the access road to the Laurel Creek Reservoir and Filtration Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a system link between two major highways; improve mobility for those who live and work in the study area as well as visitors to the State College area; improve traffic and safety conditions, primarily by separating local and through traffic; and also improve access for emergency vehicles. Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace fewer residences and businesses than under any of the other build alternatives. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, rights-of-way requirements would displace 3 residences, 117.6 acres of productive farmlands, and 11.3 acres of wetlands; under this alternative, the facility would displace more wetland acres than under any of the other build alternatives.

Preparation date: September 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CODY TO YELLOWSTONE HIGHWAY, US HIGHWAY 14/16/20, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36399509; 4815 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 27.5 miles of US 14/16/20 from west of Cody, Wyoming, to Yellowstone National Park is proposed. The highway is one of five principal points of access to the park, and over half a million visitors annually enter the park via the highway. The section of the highway slated for improvements is located entirely within the Shoshone National Forest and follows the North Fork of the Shoshone River. The highway was constructed in the 1930s, and in May 1991 was designated a scenic byway by the Forest Service. From 1980 to 1991, 187 accidents occurred along the 27.5 miles of the highway under consideration; two of those accidents involved fatalities. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under Build Alternative A, the existing highway would be improved in its current location. The improved highway would consist of two 12-foot lanes, two six-foot shoulders, a clear zone, and shifts of 40 feet or less off the existing centerline of the road. In a few locations, the 50-mile-per-hour (50-mph) design speed would not be achieved. Design standards would be compromised in four locations (mileposts 13.5, 15.7, 23.6, and 26.5) in order to minimize impacts to the landscape. Under Build Alternative B (the preferred alternative), the project would be identical to that under Alternative A throughout 19.5 miles, or 71 percent, of the project's length. The remaining eight miles would be reconstructed in alternate locations under Alternative B, with alternate location being defined as any shift off the current centerline of 40 feet or more. Such a shift would occur in 12 locations, including two or three new crossings of the North Fork of the Shoshone River. A 50-mph design speed would be maintained throughout the project's entire length; design standards would be compromised in the same four locations as under Alternative A. The Forest Service is considering two related alternatives that would involve renovating recreational facilities along the highway or developing new ones. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would reduce existing hazardous driving conditions for visitors entering Yellowstone from the east, and result in a facility constructed, for the most part, to current design standards with sufficient capacity to accommodate projected traffic for the next 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the highway would encroach on 1.8 acres of floodplains, displace 4.5 acres of wetlands, and disturb 328 acres of land. Seven public campgrounds, picnic areas, or interpretive sites would be adversely affected by the proximity of highway construction. Wildlife would be temporarily affected during construction, and some species would experience a permanent loss (110 acres) of crucial winter range. Five historic or archaeological properties would be adversely affected.

AN - 36399769; 4807 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 25 miles of US 219 from I-68 in Garrett County, Maryland, to the interchange with State Route (SR) 3041 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. US 219 is a major north-south transportation corridor providing access from Canada and New York south through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. A 62-mile portion of this highway, from the Maryland border to Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, was designated as a corridor of the Appalachian Development Highway System in 1965. Within the project area, US 219 fails to meet current design criteria for horizontal curves, vertical grades, sight distances, pavement widths, and shoulder widths. Serious congestion problems occur in the Meyersdale area because of the high concentration of Amish vehicles and a substantial amount of east-west traffic adding to the traffic mix in the downtown area. This draft EIS is arranged in two parts: in Part I, a No Action Alternative, under which the existing US 219 corridor, and three corridors on new location for the entire 25-mile length of the project, would be upgraded, is considered; in Part II, eight alternatives for improving the section of US 219 in and around Meyersdale are considered. Under the preferred alternative, only the Meyersdale improvements would be implemented, and, more specifically, under the Western Alternative, the facility would extend 5.1 miles from Hunsrick Summit in the south to a point on US 219 near Indian Dig and Pony Farm Roads in the north. A four-lane divided limited-access highway would be constructed on new alignment to the west of the borough of Meyersdale and existing US 219. At the northern terminus, a grade-separated interchange would provide access in all directions. South of Meyersdale, the alignment would cross existing US 219, where a full diamond interchange would provide access to and from Meyersdale and Summit Township. Southbound traffic would merge directly onto existing US 219 at the southern terminus. The estimated construction costs of the preferred alternative are $66.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, separate local and regional traffic, and improve the regional transportation network. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the facility would displace up to 6 residences and 3 businesses, fill 1.9 acres of wetlands, encroach on 24 acres of floodplain, adversely affect 137.2 acres of farmland, and cross 10 streams.

Preparation date: September 15, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRIGGS PROJECT, INYO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407288; 4761 AB - PURPOSE: The construction by CR Briggs Corporation of a an open-pit heap-leach gold mine project on a 940-acre site in the Panamint Valley in southeastern California is proposed. The site is approximately 34 air miles northeast of the city of Ridgecrest and located about 3.5 miles west of the Panamint Ridge ridgeline that forms that southwestern boundary of Death Valley National Monument. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the Briggs project would mine ore and associated unmineralized rock from an open pit. Unmineralized rock would be discarded in waste rock dumps that would be constructed outward from the steep slopes of the Panamint Range. Ore would be processed using cyanide heap leach methods; gold would be recovered using carbon adsorption. The project would be designed to mine and process an estimated 21 million tons of ore and approximately 27 million tons of waste rock. At an average ore processing rate of four million tons annually, the project would operate for about six years. Major components of the project would include a mine pit, two waste rock piles, crushing and ore transport facilities, a heap leach pad, process water storage ponds, a gold processing plant, a clay borrow area, and growth media stockpiles. The heap leach pad and process water ponds would be constructed with low permeability liners consisting of plastic membranes and compacted low permeability fine-grained soil. The soil would be supplied from an onsite borrow area and one off-site location. Power would be provided by onsite generators. Approximately 400 gallons per minute of water would be required, primarily for ore processing and dust control. During construction, surface soils from disturbed areas would be salvaged and stockpiled for use as growth media for final site reclamation. Reclamation would occur concurrent with site activities in areas that would not be subject to additional disturbance. Decommissioning and reclamation would occur for about one year after completion of operations. Action alternatives recommending different ore beneficiation rates, a reduced project size, modified waste rock pile configurations, and alternative waste rock and processed ore disposal are also under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would provide 130 direct jobs and 160 indirect jobs, generating local economic benefits of about $23 million, including payroll, goods and services purchased, and taxes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the project would disturb up to 505 acres of desert land and adversely affect two species classified by the state as sensitive: the Townsend big-eared bat and the burrowing owl. The project would cause a local exceedance of air quality standards for particulates. The waste rock pile, the heap leach pile, and the mine pit highwall would adversely affect visual resources. Heavy truck traffic would create some safety hazards on local roadways.

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

AN - 15222296; 4786 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway to replace existing US 71 connecting Texarkana, Arkansas, and the Louisiana state line, is proposed. The existing US 71 is a two-lane highway extending from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana. The new section of highway would begin at Loop 151/245 on the south side of Texarkana and extend south for a distance of 28 to 30 miles to just north of Ida, Louisiana. The highway would provide an additional north-south freeway that would fill the 500-mile wide gap that presently exists in the north-south freeway system between I-35 in Oklahoma and I-55 along the Mississippi River. It would also complement four east-west interstate highways currently in place. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under each of the build alternatives, the facility would have six interchanges. Under Alternative B, the western-most route, the facility would have a total roadway length of 28.2 miles, and generally follow an alignment to the west of existing US 71. Under Alternative C, the facility would be 29.9 miles long and generally follow an alignment just to the east of existing US 71. Under Alternative E, the facility would be 29.1 miles long and generally follow an alignment just to the west of existing US 71. The alignment, which would be located in between the other two proposed alignments, was developed in response to public comments and questions raised in public information workshops. Under a fourth alternative, the existing US 71 would be upgraded along the existing alignment. The estimated costs under the three build alternatives range from $184.2 million to $203.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would reduce congestion on the existing facility, provide for planned growth and economic development, improve safety, and improve local, regional, and national transportation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the facility would displace up to 1,063 acres of agricultural and timber lands, 106 acres of cultivated land, 242 acres of abandoned oil fields and pasture, 403 acres of prime farmland soils, 223 acres of pine forest, 71 acres of hardwood forest, 180 acres of wetlands, and 231 acres of floodplain. Up to 38 residences and businesses would be required to relocate. Up to 29 cultural resource properties would experience encroachment, and 46 streams would be crossed, temporarily degrading water quality.

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: August 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL AND REUSE OF LORING AIR FORCE BASE, AROOSTOOK COUNTY, MAINE. AN - 36404594; 4646 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal and reuse of Loring Air Force Base (AFB), located in Aroostook County, Maine, is proposed. Loring AFB, which comprises 9,035 acres, is located 400 miles north of Boston and 5 miles west and south of the Canadian border at New Brunswick. The AFB consists of the 8,317-acre main base as well as nine off-site parcels totaling 718 acres. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, implementation would include a comprehensive reuse plan for a mixed-use airport with civilian aviation activities, including general aviation, commercial aviation, maintenance, and air cargo components. These aviation uses would require up 1,894 acres of on-site property. Airfield improvements would include the installation of a precision instrument landing system and approach path on Runway 01/19, security fencing, runway and taxiway guidance signs, an airport beacon, and a weather observation station. Aviation support facilities, to be located west and south of the runway, would include the air traffic control tower, fuel system, fire station, hangars, and air cargo, maintenance, commercial aviation, and general aviation buildings. Additional uses of the property would include 599 acres for industrial development; 131 acres for medical and educational facilities; 194 acres for office and other commercial uses; 598 acres for residential land uses, 1,717 acres for open space and an urban park, and 3,304 acres for agricultural and forestry development. The 594-acre Madawaska Dam site, located off-site, would be set aside as a natural resource conservation area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the redevelopment would provide for aviation-related, commercial, educational, and recreational use of the land in agreement with the community's reuse plan. Under the proposed action, reuse activities would increase employment levels by approximately 4,461 direct jobs and 3,339 secondary jobs by the year 2014. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Proposed development activities would convert 1,697 acres of farmland to nonagricultural use. The quantities of hazardous materials used and wastes generated would be greater than under closure conditions. The responsibility for managing hazardous materials and wastes would shift from a single user to multiple, independent users, which could reduce the area's capability of responding to hazardous materials and waste spills and would increase the regulatory burden. Air pollutant emissions would increase, and surface water runoff would result from 572 acres of ground disturbance. The number of people living in areas exposed to surface traffic noise levels of 65 decibels or greater would increase by 749. Development activities could adversely affect historic properties that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

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

AN - 36393928; 4737 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 realigning the entrance channel and modifying the existing breakwater to protect the new entrance channel. Focal issues raised during the scoping process included the shortage of berths, vessel damage, serious navigation problems, inadequate harbor facilities, and concern about the impacts of any improvements on area surfing sites. Under the preferred alternative (Federal Plan 1), improvements would include a 620-foot-long extension to the existing south breakwater; a 610-foot-long entrance channel, varying in width from 150 to 180 feet and in depth from 12 to 15 feet; a 12-foot- deep, 1.7-acre turning basin, ; a 720-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 8- foot-deep main access channel; and a 400-foot-long revetted mole on the seaward side of the existing south breakwater for a bus turnaround. About 80 feet of the existing east breakwater head would be removed, and about 27,000 cubic yards of material would be dredged from the harbor basin, including the turning basin, access channel, and new entrance channel. Some of the dredged material would be used for the construction of the breakwater extension and revetted mole. Total estimated construction costs are $11.7 million ($8.45 million federal and $3.25 nonfederal). This final supplement to the final EIS of September 1980 is issued in order to update alternative plans and evaluation studies; the project had remained unfunded until fiscal 1989. 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. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: 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. Dredging of the entrance channel and placement of the breakwater extension would destroy rich coral reef and benthic organisms. Surfing areas located adjacent to the entrance channel would be destroyed or modified by the new structures and the dredging; a small sandy beach at the east end of the harbor would also be destroyed.

Preparation date: August 18, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ANACOSTIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND MONTGOMERY AND PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTIES, MARYLAND. AN - 36404302; 4736 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to restore fish and wildlife habitat in the Anacostia River and its tributaries is proposed. The river basin is a 170-square-mile sub-basin of the Potomac River. The headwaters originate in the piedmont and coastal plain areas of Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Maryland, and the river joins the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. Prior to urbanization, the Anacostia River basin contained extensive tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, but wetlands area has been reduced from roughly 2,600 acres to less than 100 today. Fish population in the river has declined in recent years as a result of poor water quality, inadequately controlled stormwater runoff, channelization, and barriers to fish migration. Under the recommended plan, implementation would provide for the construction of 80 acres of tidal and non-tidal freshwater wetlands, the restoration of five miles of piedmont streams, and the planting of 33 acres of bottomland hardwood forest. Roughly 604 fish and wildlife units would be restored annually over a 50-year period. These activities would occur within three independent political jurisdictions. Within the District of Columbia, 75 acres of freshwater tidal wetlands would be restored, and six acres in the vicinity of Kingman Lake would be reforested. Within Prince George's County, two acres of wetlands would be constructed, some 8,000 feet of stream would be restored, and 16 acres of riparian area would be reforested. Within Montgomery County, three existing stormwater management ponds would be retrofitted, two stormwater management wetlands would be constructed, and 17,000 feet of stream would be restored. The estimated project costs within each jurisdiction are $9.3 million, $3.3 million, and $6.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would restore fish and wildlife habitat for significant resources in the Anacostia River basin. The environmental restoration would enhance the aesthetic value of the river basin, the commercial value of residential property near the river, and the recreational uses of the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and restoration activities would temporarily increase runoff; some cultural resources would be adversely affected by the Paint Branch stream restoration.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: July 22, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NC 16, LUCIA TO NORTH OF NC 150; CATAWBA, GASTON, AND LINCOLN COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36407492; 4714 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 16-mile segment of NC 16 from just north of Lucia in Gaston County, North Carolina, through Lincoln County, to north of NC 150 in Catawba County, is proposed. The project is considered necessary to improve access and travel time between the rapidly developing Lake Norman area and the Charlotte metropolitan area. The proposed action would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided, limited-access expressway on a new alignment that would generally run parallel to the existing highway. The three build alternatives considered in this draft EIS are an Eastern Alternative, a Western Alternative, and a variation of the Western Alternative designated Western 2. Under the Eastern Alternative, the facility would diverge from existing NC 16 by 4,000 feet from its intersection with NC 273 and extend parallel to NC 16 about 3,000 feet to the east. It would then skirt the core of the development in Lucia and Lowesville before turning slightly westward north of SR 1397 to cross existing NC 16 just south of SR 1394. The proposed corridor would then run generally parallel to the CSX railroad tracks, bypass Denver to the east and turns northward to intercept existing NC 16 about 7,000 feet north of NC 150. Under the Western Alignment, the facility would turn northward soon after crossing NC 273 and bypass most of Lucia and Lowesville to the west; it would intersect SR 1511 roughly 5,800 feet west of existing NC 16. The proposed corridor would then continue northward, generally parallel to and east of SR 1386. Just north of NC 150, it would turn northeastward to intersect existing NC 16 about 8,200 feet north of NC 150. The facility under the two main alternatives would share a common alignment just to the east of St. James Road; under the Western 2 Alternative, it would involve the construction of a new alignment to the west of St. James Road. The total estimated costs of the three alternatives range from $88.5 to $103.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed highway improvements, traffic congestion on existing NC 16 would be eased, and long-term local traffic demands would be accommodated by increasing capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the Eastern Alternative would displace 31 homes and 4 businesses, adversely affect 27 acres of wetlands and 478 acres of farmland, cross 36 streams, encroach on 21 acres of flood hazard areas, and adversely affect four noise-sensitive sites. Rights-of-way requirements under the Western Alternative would displace 70 homes, adversely affect 23.5 acres of wetlands and 450 acres of farmland, cross 68 streams, encroach on 11 acres of flood hazard areas, and adversely affect 13 noise-sensitive sites. The effects under the Western 2 Alternative are nearly identical to those under the Western Alternative.

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

Preparation date: July 20, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO GUANAJIBO, PUERTO RICO. AN - 36400680; 4743 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term flood protection plan for the cities of Mayaguez and San German, Puerto Rico, is proposed. Both cities are located in the Rio Guanajibo basin and experience flood damages of roughly $6.6 million per year. Mayaguez is located on the west central coast of Puerto Rico, about three miles from the mouth of the river; San German is located on the south bank of the river, 18 kilometers upstream from the ocean. Heavy rainfall coupled with runoff from the steep slopes of the upper basin could produce high discharges in a relatively short period of time. Under the recommended plan for the river basin, implementation would consist of the construction of a 5.41- kilometer floodwall and a levee system along developed areas in the floodplain and about 1.3 kilometers of channel improvements to Cano Majagual in order to protect the Mayaguez-Hormigueros area against the 100-year flood. The material for the construction of the levee would come from a borrow area located in the floodplain; once construction were complete, the borrow area would be landscaped to provide emergent wetlands and open water habitat to mitigate the loss of cattail wetlands. Implementation would also include 1.47 kilometers of channel improvements to Rio Guanajibo in the San German area in order to provide a 10-year level of protection. The channel would be trapezoidal with a 65-meter bottom width. The total estimated first cost of the recommended plan is $27.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would lessen flood damages for two very vulnerable areas. It would provide net economic benefits of roughly $4.0 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the plan would be 2.6 to 1. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended plan, implementation would result in the loss of 141.6 acres of prime farmland, 22.5 acres of mangroves, 4.6 acres of wetlands, and recreational facilities in the Mayaguez area. Channel work would result in high short-term turbidity levels in both areas. Floodwalls and levees would create a visual barrier for residents living in close proximity to the structures.

Preparation date: July 8, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PETALUMA RIVER FLOOD CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS SECTION 205, CITY OF PETALUMA, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 15223771; 4734 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of flood protection measures for the Petaluma River within the city of Petaluma, California, is proposed. The project area is located 12 miles upstream from San Pablo Bay in Sonoma County, approximately 35 miles north of San Francisco. It extends from the Washington Street Bridge upstream to just beyond the confluence with Lynch Creek. During periods of heavy rainfall, the river is incapable of handling the runoff and flooding often occurs at the confluence with Lynch Creek. In this area, the river meanders through residential and commercial developments that occur within a few feet of the bank. Inadequate bridge openings, utility crossings and other obstructions, and limited channel capacities contribute to the flooding potential. The existing channel capacity of the river in this reach is approximately 2,800 cubic feet per second (cfs), equivalent to a five-year flood event. Under the locally preferred plan (Alternative B-3), the channel would be deepened and widened in order to carry 9,640 cfs below the Washington Creek confluence. The channel would be excavated to a depth of 17 feet: for 3,150 feet above the railroad mainline bridge, the channel would be trapezoidal in design; while the remaining 530 feet from the bridge to the lower end of the project area would be U-shaped in design. The U-shaped channel would consist of vertical sheet-pile walls coated with concrete to form a flush wall surface that would not extend above the existing bank; the channel bottom would be 95 feet wide in this section. Channel bottom widths would range from 45 feet to 70 feet in the trapezoidal portion. Reinforced concrete floodwalls would be constructed along both banks between Edith Street and the upstream project limits. A floodwall would also be constructed along the south bank of Washington Creek to provide a continuous level of flood protection along the tributary. Service roads 10 to 12 feet wide would be built along both banks for the entire length of the project. Two railroad bridges, the spurline and mainline bridges just upstream from Lakeville Street, would be replaced to improve hydraulic capacity; in addition, the Lakeville and Payran Street bridges would also be replaced. The channel improvements would require the dredging and disposal of 95,000 cubic yards (cy) of sediment; annual maintenance dredging of 3,000 cy would also be required. The estimated costs under the preferred plan are $19.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred plan, implementation would provide a 40-year level of flood protection for the area, reduce the economic burdens of flooding, and provide better access to and across the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: One business and two residences on the east bank of the river would be removed as part of the channel improvement. There would be a loss of exotic woody vegetation, intertidal mud flats, shaded aquatic habitat, brackish emergent marsh, grassland/ruderal habitat, scrub-shrub habitat, and habitat for the threatened Sacramento spittail fish. The U-shaped channel in the lower portion of the project area would detract from scenic values.

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

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

AN - 36384318; 4739 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing federal project at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, is proposed. Port Fourchon is located near the mouth of Bayou Lafourche in southern Lafourche Parish; the port has approximately 50 facilities serving the oil and gas industry as well as commercial and recreational fishing vessels. An authorized federal project provides for a navigation channel 12 feet deep and 125 feet wide in Bayou Lafourche and Belle Pass from the Gulf of Mexico through Port Fourchon. The 4.4-mile-long channel has been enlarged to 20 feet by 230 feet by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission (GLPC). A wider and deeper channel is needed so that drilling rigs can be serviced and repaired at the port and other deep-draft vessels can use the port. Ten alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the nine action alternatives, the facility would provide channel depths ranging from 20 to 34 feet. Under the preferred alternative, a channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide would be provided; the entrance channel would be 26 feet deep. GLPC would be responsible for dredging berthing areas, constructing bulkheads and dockside facilities, and providing utilities for servicing vessels. All material dredged from the inshore channel would be used for marsh restoration and for shoreline erosion control along the gulf shoreline. The material would be hydraulically dredged and placed so that after settling, the elevation would be approximately the same as the adjacent marsh. The estimated initial cost under the preferred alternative is $3.3 million; total construction costs are $4.3 million; the benefit-cost ratio is 2.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region and to the oil and gas industry. Under the preferred alternative, the improvement would reduce the rate of marsh loss and help to restore damaged wetlands; the high rate of marsh loss in the area is mainly due to erosion caused by wave action on unprotected shorelines. Roughly 246 acres of marsh would be built over a 50-year period under this plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Annual dredging of the offshore reach would disrupt benthic habitat in the offshore channel.

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

Preparation date: June 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OAKLAND OUTER AND INNER HARBORS DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT II TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS OF SEPTEMBER 1979 AND NOVEMBER 1984). AN - 15223684; 4629 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening and widening of the existing Oakland Harbor channels in the Port of Oakland, California, are proposed. The port lies on the east side of San Francisco Bay, near the western terminus of major rail and highway networks. Approximately 3.4 miles of the Outer Harbor and 4.0 miles of the Inner Harbor would be dredged. As originally authorized, disposal of the dredged material was planned for a site near Alcatraz Island, but those plans were abandoned in response to public concern about the impact on Bay resources, the mounding of previously disposed materials at Alcatraz, and recent regulations limiting the volume of materials that could be disposed near Alcatraz. This second final supplement to the final EISs of September 1979 and November 1984 considers 12 alternatives for disposing of roughly 6.6 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged channel bottom, berth bottom, and bank sediments; and a No Action Alternative. Under each of the disposal alternatives, two or more disposal sites would be utilized. Under the recommended plan (Alternative B2), the project would utilize three or four disposal sites: the Ocean Section 102 site offshore of the Farallon Islands, Sonoma Baylands in Sonoma County, Galbraith Golf Course in Alameda County, and, if it were required, sediment drying at the Ninth Avenue Marine Terminal located on Port property, with ultimate disposal at the landfill. Under this alternative, some 2.9 mcy would be disposed at the ocean, 2.5 mcy would be disposed at Sonoma Baylands, up to 1.2 mcy would be disposed at Galbraith, and a small portion would be disposed at the Port/Landfill site if it were necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Enlargement of the channels would eliminate tidal delays for 75 percent of all container vessels projected to be in service by 1996. As a result, waterborne transportation costs associated with the port would decline significantly. Widening of the channel would reduce the risk of navigational accidents. Commercial shipping through the harbor would increase. Under the preferred alternative for disposal, wetlands restoration would be included, resulting in a substantial increase in wetlands of national importance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deeper channels would trap more sediment, increasing the cost of maintenance. Widening of the channels would subject undisturbed benthic habitat to periodic disturbance. Dredging activities would create turbidity, temporarily lowering ambient water quality and possibly disturbing slightly the foraging habits of a nearby colony of the California least tern, an endangered species. Dredging and transport equipment would contribute to the degradation of air quality in the region. The Galbraith disposal site would lose up to 3.7 acres of seasonal freshwater marsh and some tidal wetlands; in addition, groundwater quality would decline as a result of the lateral migration of existing leachate fluids containing petroleum products. The Sonoma Baylands would lose 56.3 acres of seasonal freshwater and brackish wetlands, and sensitive bird species nesting in the salt marsh along San Pablo Bay would be disturbed.

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

Preparation date: June 21, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NAVIGATION STUDY FOR FORT PIERCE HARBOR, SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA (GENERAL REEVALUATION REPORT AND SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1986). AN - 15225433; 4631 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing federal project at Fort Pierce Harbor in Florida is proposed. The city of Fort Pierce is located on the lower east coast of Florida, approximately 120 miles north of Miami and 225 miles south of Jacksonville. The harbor itself is situated on the Indian River within the city of Fort Pierce, and access to the ocean is provided via a man-made cut through the barrier island. The existing federal project, completed in 1938, consists of an entrance channel, an interior channel, a turning basin, two protective jetties, and berthing areas. Existing port facilities are used primarily for shipments of citrus, cement, and argonite. At its present depth, the existing channel requires shipments in shallow- to moderate-draft vessels and cannot support larger deep-draft vessels. A final EIS on a proposal to dredge the channel and turning basin was issued in June 1986. However, when state environmental agencies conducted field reconnaissance of the project area in April 1991, a dive survey uncovered a diverse underwater biological community on the rock ledges on the sides of the existing channel and at the edges of the turning basin. A November 1992 draft supplement to the final EIS evaluated the original proposal, a modified version of that proposal (the Modified Plan Alternative), and a No Action Alternative, and their effects on these biological resources. This revised draft supplement considers some additional changes to the modified proposal in order to reduce environmental impacts. Under this revised proposal, the channel would be dredged to the same depth and width as in the original proposal: the interior channel would have a design depth of 28 feet and a bottom width of 250 feet, and would extend out to a 30-foot-deep, 450-foot-wide entrance channel. The turning basin would be 28 feet deep and have a diameter of 1,100 feet, with a 28-foot-deep, 250-foot-wide spur channel extending to the north end. The original proposal has been realigned so that it would minimize adverse impacts by trimming the turning basin to the south and deleting corner wideners, and by centering the entrance channel on the existing channel and shifting the transition zone seaward. Dredged material would be placed in an existing borrow hole in the Indian River to raise the bathymetry to natural depths. Some 1.1 million cubic yards (cy) of material would be dredged under the original proposal and 815,000 cy under the revised proposal. Approximately 319,000 cy of material would be disposed in the ocean and 217,000 cy in the Causeway Island borrow hole under the revised proposal, in contrast to 992,000 cy intended for ocean disposal under the original proposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to shippers and would attract new exporting and importing businesses, which would stimulate the local economy. Under the revised proposal, only one acre of rock/ledge habitat would be altered; while under the original proposal, some 11.7 acres would be altered. Some 5,900 linear feet of beach would be restored to sea turtle nesting habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly dredged channel would accelerate beach erosion and increase the volume of material trapped in offshore sandbars, but these effects would be partially offset by the placement of dredged sand on adjacent beaches. Dredged sediments could bury nearby biological communities; toxic contaminants present in the sediments could enter the food chain and become concentrated in large predators. Some phases of the operation could also adversely affect resident populations of manatees and sea turtles. In addition, some 13.3 acres of rocky channel-edge habitat and 12.7 acres of productive shallow-water habitat for invertebrates, crustaceans, and fish would be lost.

Preparation date: June 9, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MD 140 (WESTMINSTER BYPASS) FROM HUGHES SHOP ROAD TO REESE ROAD, CARROLL COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36382803; 4599 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Maryland 140 (MD 140) in Carroll County, Maryland, is proposed. MD 140 is an important east-west roadway running from US 15 near the Pennsylvania state line north of Emittsburg to Baltimore City. It carries considerable interstate traffic between Pennsylvania and the Baltimore-Washington area, and also connects points within Carroll County such as Emittsburg and Taneytown to Westminster, the county seat. The improvements to MD 140 would occur in and around the city of Westminster. MD 140 was built in 1952 as a bypass around Westminster, but because of extensive industrial and commercial developments with direct access to the roadway, it has lost its function as a bypass. With no control of access, it currently functions as a city street with heavy volumes of local traffic mixing with through traffic. Eight alternatives, including a No- Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action, the existing road segment would be approximately 6 miles long, the northern bypass would be 8 to 10 miles long, and the southern bypass would be 10 miles long. Four plans for upgrading and improving the existing highway, two northern bypasses, and one southern bypass are also under consideration. The estimated costs of the project range from $8.8 million to $234.3 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would address the capacity and safety concerns in and around Westminster. They would reduce traffic congestion and the number of accidents on a heavily traveled portion of MD 140. The number of fatal accidents within the project area exceeds the statewide average for highways of that type. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the proposed action would displace up to 35 residences and 13 businesses. The bypass routes would displace up to 12.2 acres of wetlands and 133 forested acres. Under all of the build alternatives, improvements would require the acquisition of property from sites eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places: up to four properties per alternative would be adversely affected. Under one of the alternatives, some 3.9 acres would be taken from a recreational area attached to a middle school.

AN - 36395029; 4635 AB - PURPOSE: The development of hurricane surge protection for populated areas of the west bank of the Mississippi River, adjacent to New Orleans, Louisiana, is proposed. The project area comprises 36,000 acres, dominated by heavy residential, commercial, and light agricultural development. It is bounded by the Mississippi River to the north and east, by the Harvey Canal and Bayou Barataria on the west, and by Hero Canal and the Plaquemines Parish levee on the south. The Algiers Canal divides the study area into two relatively equal parts. Although some sizable forested tracts remain in the project area, most of this acreage will be developed in the future. Because of the low elevations that prevail in the area, disastrous flooding could occur. Flooding was experienced in 1985 from Hurricane Juan, which was classified as a Category I hurricane. The tentatively selected plan for the area west of the Algiers Canal would involve the construction of a navigable floodgate in the Harvey Canal, about 3,600 feet south of Lapalco Boulevard. A navigation bypass channel would be constructed to temporarily accommodate Harvey Canal traffic during floodgate construction. The bypass channel would later serve as part of the outfall canal for the Cousins pumping station, significantly increasing its capacity. A combination of levees and floodwalls would provide protection on the east side of the Harvey Canal from the floodgate to the Hero pumping station. Under the selected plan for the east side of the Algiers Canal, the existing protection would be raised. From the Algiers Lock, the existing protection would be enlarged along the east side of the Algiers Canal and along the north bank of the Hero Canal. The protection would wrap around the head of the Hero Canal and continue west along the south bank of the canal. A new levee constructed near Oakville would connect the enlarged Hero Canal levee with an existing levee. The total first cost of the project west of the Canal is $99.3 million, and $19.8 million for the project east of the Canal. The benefit-cost ratio is 4.56 to 1 and 1.55 to 1, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plans, the development of hurricane surge protection would maximize flood protection, result in little disruption to Harvey Canal businesses, maintain low costs, and minimize environmental impacts because of their reliance on existing alignments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected plans, development would adversely affect 279 acres of wildlife habitat and 46 acres of wooded swamp as a result of levee and outfall channel construction, temporary stockpile area, and wooded borrow areas. Roughly 92 acres of non-wetland pasture would be destroyed to obtain borrow material. Disturbance of sediments in the Harvey Canal, which is known to contain contaminants, would cause temporary water quality problems in the canals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: May 18, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COUNTY OF HENRICO, JAMES RIVER WATER SUPPLY INTAKE, HENRICO COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36394825; 4639 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a water treatment plant in order to supply drinking water to the residents of Henrico County, Virginia, is proposed. The county currently purchases 90 percent of its drinking water from the city of Richmond under a water supply contract that became effective in July 1985 and continues through June 1995. The remaining 10 percent of the county's water is presently supplied from the county's groundwater system. Although the capacity of the Richmond system is being increased, it is not certain that the plant would be able to meet future peak demand in Henrico County through 2010. Furthermore, the Richmond plant would probably require significant upgrading in order to comply with new federal water quality standards. Under the proposed action, a water treatment plant with a design capacity of 35 million gallons per day (mgd), which would meet the water demands in the western portion of the county through the year 2003, would be constructed; in 2003, the plant would be re-rated to handle 55 mgd to handle the county's water demand through 2010. The plant would draw water from the James River. It would also meet the water supply needs of portions of Goochland and Hanover counties. The plant, which would be located at the intersection of Gaskins and Three Chopt roads in western Henrico County, would be a state-of-the-art facility incorporating preozonation, rapid mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, and granular activated carbon deep-bed filtration. The major components of the project would include a raw water intake screen, a backwash control building, a raw water pumping station, and dual 60-inch intake pipes to convey water from the intake screens to the pumping station. A 15-foot-wide access road would be built along the 2,800-foot pipe alignment. Construction of the intake would require the dredging of surface sediment, as well as the removal of underlying rock, in the James River and in the area between the submerged intake screens and the backwash control building. A water conservation program would also be implemented. The estimated capital costs of the plant are $63.2 million. The plant would be completed by 1998. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, regional water capacity would be increased and system reliability would be improved through reduced reliance on the Richmond plant. The presence of two regional treatment plants on the north side of the James River, with interconnected distribution systems, would allow local water systems served by these plants to mutually support one another in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water withdrawals from the James River, and the presence of the intake, would adversely affect fish habitat. Some wetlands would be disturbed by the construction of the intake structure, pumping station, and other facilities.

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: May 11, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 522, SR 2 TO SR 9, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36408145; 4611 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of State Route (SR) 522 to a four-lane, divided, full-access-control freeway between SR 9 near Woodinville and SR 2 in Monroe, Washington, is proposed. Improvement of this section of SR 522 is needed primarily because of a high incidence of accidents, which is attributed to high traffic volumes, a separate directional split, and limited sight distance for passing. Continued residential and business growth along SR 522 in this still predominantly rural area, and the use of SR 522 as a primary access road from the Seattle area to SR 2, is lowering the level of service on the roadway, while the frequency and severity of accidents are increasing. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under all of the build alternatives, the capacity of SR 522 would be expanded by widening approximately 10.6 miles of the highway to four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, with two ten-foot-wide outside shoulders and two four-foot-wide inside shoulders, plus a 40-foot-wide grass median. Between SR 9 and Paradise Lake Road, the facility would have a 14-foot-wide paved shoulder in the eastbound direction; this shoulder would accommodate slow-moving vehicles. Existing overcrossings at High Bridge Road (Cathcart Road), 164th Street SE, Valley View Road, and SR 2 would be widened. A two-lane, southbound on-ramp would be added west of the junction of SR 522 and the existing SR 2. Under the Snohomish River Bridge options, a second two-lane bridge would be constructed adjacent to the existing SR 522 bridge over the Snohomish River. Under the preferred bridge design option, the new bridge would be constructed on the south side of the existing bridge, would carry eastbound traffic. Under the preferred alternative, a diamond interchange would be constructed at both Paradise Lake Road and Fales Road; these interchanges would replace existing signalized intersections. Paradise Lake Road would cross over SR 522 and the Burlington Northern rail line to the west on bridges and be realigned to connect with Maltby Road and the recently designated SR 524 from the west. Modifications to secondary roads would be made on both the east and west sides of SR 522 to accommodate the new interchange and SR 522 ramp connections. Fales Road would cross over SR 522 on a bridge and be realigned to the east of SR 522 to accommodate the interchange and ramp connections. Secondary roads would be realigned. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under all of the build alternatives, existing hazardous conditions would be remediated and traffic flow would be improved. Commuting times, accidents, and driver stress would be significantly reduced. Air quality would improve from current levels over the long term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of, and storm runoff from, the new roadway would cause degradation of water quality in nearby creeks and wetlands. Some existing wetland and wildlife habitat areas would be lost as a result of cut-and-fill activities during construction. While some degradation could occur whether or not improvement were implemented, a slower rate of development would allow more time for changes in policies and technology concerned with controlling water quality and the loss of wetlands and habitat. During construction, there would be short-term adverse impacts on bald eagle wintering sites, anadromous fish spawning areas, and the nesting areas of birds and aquatic mammals. Noise during construction and operation of the new roadway would increase significantly over current levels and approach or exceed federal noise abatement criteria in some areas. Construction of the two interchanges would displace nine residences and two businesses, and require the acquisition of roughly 47 additional acres.

Preparation date: May 4, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REGULATORY PERMITS FOR THE CENTRAL CITY WATER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, CENTRAL CITY, GILPIN COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36393777; 4636 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the water supply system of Central City, Colorado, is proposed. Water demand has increased dramatically in the area since October 1991 when limited stakes gaming was introduced in Central City, spurring significant commercial growth. The lack of adequate raw water storage and demands on North Clear Creek Basin water have strained the existing water supply and made it necessary to develop additional water supply to meet municipal needs. Central City must compete for water from the Clear Creek basin with other communities in the north Denver area, and the lack of any facility to capture and store water during the spring runoff aggravates the city's problem. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the city's preferred alternative (Alternative I-1), a dam and a 600-acre-foot reservoir on Chase Gulch would be built. The dam site is located in the upper portion of Chase Gulch, approximately two miles upstream from the North Clear Creek confluence and 400 feet downstream from the confluence with New York Gulch. Water storage would occur primarily during spring runoff, and drawdown would occur primarily during winter and early spring when streamflows of the Chase Gulch watershed and Miner's Gulch are normally low. The dam would be constructed with earth and rock fill to provide a reservoir capacity of 600 acre-feet. The dam would be 560 feet wide and 85 feet high, and flood approximately 25 acres. The dam and reservoir would require 10 months to construct. Under several of the construction alternatives, improvements would involve pipeline construction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the plan, regional water capacity would increase and a system capable of meeting anticipated demand would established. The reservoir would diversify recreational opportunities in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water diversion and storage in the reservoir would have long-term depletion effects on streamflow below the dam. Dam construction would stimulate erosion of unvegetated areas, increasing suspended solids in streams. Approximately 24 acres of vegetation would be cleared or inundated, including eight acres of wet meadow habitat. Late-season drawdowns of the reservoir would detract from the scenic value of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

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

Many of these structures require, or will require, significant repairs to ensure safe and efficient operations. The Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Research Program was created to identify and develop effective and affordable technology for maintaining and extending the service life of existing Corps Civil Works structures. Modern engineering technology is providing procedures for performing condition surveys, consistent and quantitative condition assessment, and data base management Combined with economic analyses, these procedures afford efficient maintenance and repair (M&R) budget planning through evaluation of the current condition and comparison of various M&R alternatives based on life cycle costs. Collectively these procedures are called the REMR Management Systems. By using the REMR Management Systems, many of the subjective elements in the decisionmaking process are removed from M&R planning. Components of the systems address the REMR aspects of the major substructures of lock structures. This User's Manual describes how to use the software associated with the REMR Management Systems. The technical background to the inspection process, condition index rules, and maintenance and repair analysis are provided in the associated technical reports. JF - Technical Report.

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

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

AN - 36400668; 4539 AB - PURPOSE: The dredging and disposal of material from the federal navigation channel and associated berthing areas in Boston Harbor in Massachusetts is proposed. The proposed project would involve deepening three tributary channels (Reserved Channel, Mystic River Channel, and Chelsea Creek Channel) and two areas in the Main Ship Channel to provide sufficient ship maneuvering areas for the deep-drafted vessels that currently transit the area. The Reserved Channel would be deepened to 40 feet mean low water (MLW), and a small, 40-foot-deep turning area would be established at the confluence of the Reserved and Main Ship Channels. Additionally, portions of the existing 35-foot Mystic River and Chelsea Creek channels would be dredged to a depth of 40 feet MLW and 38 feet MLW, respectively. The 35-foot-deep confluence of these two upper harbor tributary channels would also be dredged to depth of 40 feet MLW. Approximately 3.5 million cubic yards (cy) of clay, rockslit, and silty-sand material would be generated from the project, requiring disposal. An additional 600,000 cy of material would be dredged by local interests from berthing areas not included in the project. The project would use mechanical bucket dredging and blasting rock where necessary; the project would be completed in 18 months. The anticipated dredging rate would generate two to four barge trips per day. Five offshore sites are under consideration for the disposal of the dredged material. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Harbor improvements would make vessel passage less dependent on tidal navigation or lightening. They would also enable Boston to accommodate the larger vessels now found in the world fleet. The improvements would help the port maintain its competitive position in the national and world marketplace. The project would also improve water quality by removing and isolating silts in the channels and berths containing contaminants that are continually resuspended during storm and vessel activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms and demersal fish would be killed during dredging and blasting. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal site.

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

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

AN - 36394655; 4521 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a waterfront park in the Ohio River floodplain in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, is proposed. The proposed site is located along the south bank of the Ohio River between the Clark Memorial Bridge at river mile (rm) 602 and Beargrass Creek at rm 603.7. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed project, the facilities would consist of a 100-acre park and a 50-acre residential and expanded marina; the sites would be developed by the project applicant, the Waterfront Development Corporation. The lands within the proposed park area are either vacant or being used for industrial purposes; the proposed harbor site, which adjoins the proposed park site on the east and extends to Beargrass Creek, currently consists of open green space and a municipal marina. The Waterfront Park would include a public wharf with moorings for commercial riverboats; the Waterfront Development Corporation headquarters building; a four-story restaurant building; a festival plaza with a hard surface for events; the Great Lawn, consisting of 17.5 acres of grass; a harbor for professionally piloted boats; and a 67-acre linear park with trees, meadow lands, and four river inlets. The harbor project would include the expansion of the existing marina for pleasure boats, residential units, a restaurant, a public promenade along the river edge, and a public boat ramp. Under the preferred plan, the existing topography in the project area would be extensively altered by the removal of earth in the Wharf, Great Lawn, and Harbor areas and the use of fill in the Linear Park to create land forms. The plans call for changes to the river edge by the removal of earth to create inlets and a harbor, and the addition of a pile-supported platform to extend the proposed Great Lawn 120 feet from the river edge. The dredging would primarily take place from the land and would move the earth from the shore to the land side. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action of landscaping and inlet construction, the area visually and ecologically would be improved. Wildlife usage and faunal diversity should increase for both aquatic and terrestrial species. The inlets would serve as a refuge for native wildlife and plants and would not be accessible to boats. The construction and operation of the facility would create approximately 380 full-time and part-time jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under high water conditions, the strong flow of water beneath the great lawn platform would create potential danger for small boats.

AN - 36399342; 4529 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of an interagency program to assist law enforcement agencies with drug interdiction efforts in the southwestern border states is proposed. The Joint Task Force-6 (JTF-6) program was established in 1989 under an initiative by the Secretary of Defense, who also directed key commanders within the Armed Services to develop plans outlining their proposed methods of helping to reduce the illegal flow of drugs into the US. Any law enforcement agency (LEA) in the southwest, including the Border Patrol of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, can request assistance from JTF-6. Support can be provided in many forms, including, but not limited to, the analysis and processing of data, the interpretation of aerial photographs, the conduction of ground patrols, the design and installation of fitness/training courses, and the provision of personnel for listening or observation posts. Engineering support includes the repair or construction of border roads and fences; the demolition of tunnels and buildings; the construction of firing ranges, boat ramps, shooting houses, helipads, and communication towers; and the provision of lighting at ports of entry. Policy and coordination for the southwest border team flow from the Office of National Drug Control Policy in Washington, District of Columbia, to the Southwest Border Joint Command Group, which is composed of representatives of the major LEAs in the border states. In fiscal year 1993, some 485 JTF-6 operations were conducted in the southwest. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the program would continue for another five years. Under a modified program alternative, only operational or support services (with no engineering support) would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continuation of JTF-6 program would facilitate the LEAs' mission to reduce illegal drug activity in the southwestern states. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Program continuation would adversely affect wildlife populations and vegetative communities within road and fence rights-of-way.

AN - 36403363; 4467 AB - PURPOSE: The delivery of electric power from the U.S. to Canada under terms of the Columbia River Treaty is proposed. The treaty, which was signed in 1961, required three storage dams to be constructed on the Columbia River system in Canada and one in the U.S. near the Canadian border; the purpose of the dams was to help control floods in both countries and enable dams downstream in the U.S. to produce additional power. Under the terms of the treaty, Canada and the U.S. must share the downstream power benefits equally. Canada sold its half of the extra power produced for 30-year periods to a consortium of U.S. utilities. The first 30-year sale will expire in 1998, when the first installment of the Canadian entitlement must be delivered to Canada. The treaty specifies that the entitlement must be delivered at a point near Oliver, British Columbia, unless another site is agreed upon; the Canadian entitlement is estimated to be 1,200 to 1,400 megawatts (mw) capacity. A subsequent interim agreement allows the entitlement to be delivered over existing facilities by 2003. Various options for the delivery of the Canadian entitlement are considered in this draft EIS; most options would require the development of additional capacity by BPA, probably involving the construction of new combustion turbines, in order to meet contract obligations. The base case would involve full delivery at a site near Oliver and the construction of one new single-circuit 500-kilovolt (kv) transmission line, up to 95 miles long on the U.S. side and 22 miles long on the Canadian side. Additional transmission lines would be needed in both countries by the end of the first and second decades of the 21st century. Other action alternatives under consideration would involve partial delivery at Blaine and U.S. purchase of the remainder of the Canadian entitlement; full purchase of the entitlement by Pacific Northwest utilities; full purchase by Pacific Southwest utilities; and partial delivery of the entitlement at Blaine and Selkirk, and purchase of the remainder by Pacific Northwest utilities. Under the No Action Alternative, the Columbia River Treaty would be violated, thereby, causing unacceptable social, political, and legal consequences; therefore, it is not under consideration in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the base case and the action alternatives, U.S. obligations under the Columbia River Treaty would be fulfilled. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new transmission lines would displace farmlands, wetlands, and wildlife habitat, and would probably result in rate increases for BPA customers; a double-circuit 500-kv line would cost $1.1 million per mile to construct. Under the proposed base case, the transmission line could increase the collision potential for bald eagles along the Columbia River. LEGAL MANDATES: Columbia River Treaty of 1961.

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

Preparation date: April 6, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR FLOOD CONTROL FOR THE WISCONSIN RIVER AT PORTAGE, COLUMBIA COUNTY, WISCONSIN (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 1983). AN - 36394504; 4543 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures for the floodplain of the Wisconsin River in Portage, Wisconsin, is proposed. The Wisconsin River is a tributary of the Mississippi River, with the confluence located just south of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The city of Portage is located approximately 40 miles north of Madison; existing flood protection in the city consists of 18 miles of levees that were constructed beginning in 1861 along both sides of the river. Since 1880, the city has experienced 13 high water events lasting up to eight days in duration. The flood control proposal would affect only the portion of the levee system located within the city of Portage. Under the proposal presented in the final EIS of December 1983, flood control measures would include the raising of Summit Street between West Carroll and River Streets; the raising of the levee in Paquette Park between Conant and Edgewater Streets; the placing of a new levee section along the river from the State Highway 33 bridge downriver to near Dunn Street; the replacing of the riverward lock gates of the historic Portage lock structure and constructing a floodwall upriver to MacFarlane Road; the raising of the existing levee from the Portage lock structure to Ontario Street; and the constructing of a new levee parallel to the south side of US Highway 51 and 16 from Ontario Street downriver to the junction of the highway and County Road G. This draft supplement to the final EIS of December 1983 includes a new proposal for the Portage Canal Lock that would exclude the lock from the flood barrier in order to avoid the costs of rehabilitating the lock; instead a levee would be constructed with a culvert crossing the canal in front of the lock. In addition, the modified plan makes some changes in levee design and alignment, and identifies the borrow areas to be used for levee construction. The borrow area would be along the river adjacent to the proposed levee. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the modified plan, the facility would not provide full flood protection for the city of Portage, but would provide protection to elevation 797 at the Portage Lock, with a 99.6 percent chance of passing the 100-year flood and a 98.9 percent chance of passing a 500-year flood. Annual benefits resulting from the project would be worth $1.05 million. Under the modified plan, recreational opportunities would be enhanced by providing a trail on top of the levee and other facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the modified plan, approximately 22 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected, which would be much less than under the original proposal. Using the Wisconsin River as a source of levee material would temporarily increase turbidity and suspended solids. Building a levee in front of the Portage Canal would adversely affect this historic site.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: March 30, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36404696; 4535 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam and a 24,000-acre-foot (af) reservoir on the Carmel River approximately 19 miles southeast of Monterey in Monterey County, California, is proposed. Two alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project would involve the construction of a roller-compacted concrete dam, 274 feet high measuring 1,600 feet along its crest. The gravity-type structural section would be designed to remain stable against all overturning and sliding forces. The top of the dam would be at an elevation of 1,140 feet, and the spillway crest and normal maximum water surface would be at an elevation of 1,130 feet. The dam would be located approximately 2,400 feet downstream from the existing Los Padres Dam. The surface area of the reservoir would be 266 acres, and the spillway crest elevation would be 1,130 feet. The spillway would be constructed near the center of the dam's outlet works' capacity to pass safely over the dam. The spillway would consist of a 215-foot wide overflow structure and include a stilling basin at the downstream toe of the dam in order to prevent erosion of the river banks. Migrating fish would be accommodated during both upstream and downstream migration. A trap and truck system would be used to pass upstream migrating adult steelhead trout around the dam. Facilities for upstream migration would consist of a fish weir and ladder between the new dam and a trapping and holding facility, and a specially equipped tank truck for hauling. Downstream migration of spent adults and smolts would be accomplished through the use of a screening facility upstream of the reservoir. Permanent all-weather access roads would be constructed for the project, and two bridges would be constructed across the Carmel River and one across Danish Creek. Estimated capital costs of the project are $87.3 million; annual operation and maintenance cost estimates are $1.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a municipal water supply that would meet both the short-term and long-term needs (through the year 2020) of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and afford drought protection. Numerous employment opportunities would be created by the project during its construction period. Fish spawning activity would increase significantly as a result of the project. Destruction of riparian vegetation in the area would decrease due to increased groundwater flows. Cooler river waters during the summer would benefit steelhead trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Creation of the reservoir would require the inundation of a substantial land area, which would destroy vegetation and associated terrestrial habitat. Adversely affected land would include 23 acres within the Ventana Wilderness; the exchange of 140 acres of adjacent land for the wilderness land would be required. Roughly 2.6 acres of wetlands would be inundated or eliminated, and three species of sensitive plants and three populations of sensitive wildlife species would be displaced. The reservoir would inundate or otherwise adversely affect 13 archaeological sites, 5 sites recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as 5 sites culturally important to the Esselen Tribe. Average residential water rates would increase by $7.67 monthly.

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

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

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

Preparation date: March 18, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MANKATO SOUTH ROUTE (BLUE EARTH CSAH 90), BLUE EARTH COUNTY, MINNESOTA. AN - 36394341; 4501 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane roadway for approximately 11 miles from Trunk Highway (TH) 169/160 west of Mankato to TH 83 southeast of Mankato in southern Minnesota is proposed. Travel demand has increased in the area because of increased enrollment at Mankato State University and the development of two shopping centers south of town. It is therefore anticipated that a four-lane facility would be necessary in the future, except in a segment east of TH 22, where two lanes are considered adequate for future demands. The preferred alternative (the Purple/Blue Hybrid Alternative) considered in this final EIS is a hybrid of two of the three corridor alternatives that were considered in the draft EIS. This corridor would follow the Purple Corridor from TH 169 to just west of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 16, where it would follow the Blue Corridor to the eastern end of the project area at TH 83. It would begin at TH 169 approximately one-quarter mile east of its junction with County Road 117, continuing east for one mile then curving southeast following a natural ravine toward the Blue Earth River intersecting with TWP 190. It would continue east and southeast intersecting with CSAH 16, CSAH 8, and TH 22 crossing the Le Sueur River and intersecting with CSAH 41. It would then continue easterly along CASH 41 to the end of the proposed South Route at TH 83. The roadway initially would be constructed as a two-lane rural highway with ten-foot shoulders, eventually accommodating the four-lane roadway cross-section between TH 169 and TH 22. A separate ten-foot paved trail would also be constructed within the roadway right-of-way. The total estimated costs under the preferred alternative are approximately $15.5 million; although anticipated modifications to the alignment and grade of the roadway during the final design process could change the costs of the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would provide east-west access to various sites south of the city of Mankato and reduce traffic congestion downtown and on north-south roads. In addition, the new roadway would reduce travel time and distance, improve safety and traffic operating conditions, provide long-term energy savings and improved access to job and recreational opportunities, increase property values, and promote economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, rights-of-way requirements would displace five residences. Approximately 322 acres of farmland would be converted directly or indirectly to roadway use, and 2.5 acres of wetland would be adversely affected. Construction of piers in the Blue Earth River channel would be required resulting in temporary construction impacts as well as permanent changes to the river channel. The Le Sueur River crossing would involve 7.88 acres of fill (0.3 acres within the floodplain). Approximately 3.81 acres of wooded area within the floodplain would be adversely affected. For the proposed underpass for the TH 160 interchange, acquisition of 3.25 acres of Minneopa State Park would be required. Noise levels along the roadway would increase substantially and exceed state noise standards, though not in excess of federal standards. Wildlife habitat along the roadway would be disrupted, and special measures would be taken to protect active nests of bank swallows (a protected species) as well as the snow trillium (a plant species of special concern). Preliminary studies identified 22 archaeological sites in the project area; eight of the archaeological sites would be adversely affected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AN - 36406131; 4395 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 1,150-megawatt (MW) power station on a 4,348-acre site in Polk County, Florida, is proposed by Tampa Electric Company, an investor-owned utility that serves more than 467,000 customers in west-central Florida. The proposed site is located approximately 17 miles south of the city of Lakeland, 11 miles south of Mulberry, and 13 miles southwest of Bartow, on land that has been previously disturbed by mining activities. At full build-out, the proposed power station would consist of two combined-cycle generating units, six combustion turbine generating units, and one integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) generating unit. The IGCC would be capable of firing either coal-derived gas known as syngas produced by an on-site coal gasification facility or low-sulfur fuel oil and operated in a combined-cycle mode. The project would include on-site material handling and storage facilities for fuel oil, coal, and the byproducts of coal gasification and syngas treatment (slag and sulfuric acid); water supply and wastewater treatment systems; solid waste disposal areas; a cooling reservoir; a substation; and storm water management facilities. It would also include on- site and off-site transmission lines, rail spur, and, ultimately, a natural gas pipeline. Plant facilities would occupy 150 acres, or less than 4 percent of the site, and other occupied areas would occupy roughly 158 acres; the cooling reservoir would occupy roughly 860 acres; and remainder of the site would be set aside for pastureland, forest, and brushland. Water to supply the reservoir would be supplied by pumping groundwater from the Floridan aquifer at an average annual rate of five million gallons per day. Surface water discharges from the reservoir would be routed to the reclaimed lake on the eastern edge of the site and then off-site to the Little Payne Creek system. The on- site industrial wastewater treatment system would be designed to collect and treat wastewater, storm water runoff, and washdown from the materials storage areas. Construction would take place in three phases. The initial phase would involve the construction of a nominal net 260-MW IGCC unit, which would be known as Polk Unit 1. Polk Unit 1 is being considered by the Department of Energy (DOE) for $120 million of cost-shared financial assistance under the DOE Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program. Full build-out is scheduled for 2010. The project would require an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for a new source. Under the EPA's preferred alternative, an NPDES permit would be issues with conditions, pending the successful completion of the EIS process. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed power station would provide the applicant with the resources to meet the projected demand for electric power within its service area. The project would also benefit the local economy; at full build-out, the plant would employ 210 persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the reservoir would result in the loss of 253 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The clearing of vegetation from the power block area and the transmission line corridor would displace resident wildlife. Groundwater seepage discharges from the reservoir would not satisfy state water quality standards regarding color and the presence of antimony and iron.

US 93 is a two-lane north-south principal arterial that extends along the western portion of the state, linking the city of Missoula, the region's largest city, and the Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls triangle. In addition, the segment of highway proposed for improvement serves tourist traffic destined for Glacier National Park and the Flathead Lake area. During the peak tourist season the highway operates at a level of service D or E in many locations. Much of the highway is designated as a no-passing zone, and because a high percentage of trucks use the highway, traffic tie-ups are not uncommon. The accident rate on US 93 within the project area is higher than the statewide rate for similar highways. Three location alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. For the rural parts of the corridor, covering Somers to Kalispell, Kalispell to Whitefish, and west of Whitefish, four alternatives are under consideration: Alternative A (MEDIA), Alternative A (TURN-LANE), Alternative A (COMBO), and a No-Build Alternative. Within the Kalispell metropolitan area, a bypass alternative is considered along with two basic designs called Alternative B (MEDIAN) and Alternative B (TURN LANE), and the No-Build Alternative. In Kalispell, the bypass would be implemented along with improvements to US 93 through town. In the Whitefish area, six alternatives are considered. Under Alternative A (FOUR LANE), the capacity would be increased in the same location as the existing US 93. Traffic would be split onto a one-way pair system on Second Street/Spokane Street and Second Street/Baker Street under four alternatives called Alternative C (COUPLET-1), Alternative C (COUPLET-2), Alternative C (COUPLET-3) and Alternative C (COUPLET-4). Under the sixth alternative, Alternative C (OFF-SET), traffic would split between Baker and Spokane streets, but two-directional traffic would be allowed. Under the A alternatives, US 93 would be reconstructed along its existing corridor. The roadway would be widened to meet capacity requirements of two travel lanes in each direction with provisions for left turns. Eight- to ten-foot shoulders would be added. Minor adjustments would be made for improving horizontal curves or flattening vertical grades. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities would be enhanced. Numerous intersections would be upgraded and improved. A four-lane bypass on new location around the western edge of Kalispell would be built. Improvements would be made to Spokane Street, Second Street, and Baker Avenue in Whitefish. Under the B alternatives, the bypass would be built around Kalispell, and improvements to US 93 would be provided through town. Under the C alternatives, traffic patterns in the Whitefish area would be reconfigured. The project would probably be built in phases and completed by 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: With improvements to the facility, congestion would be reduced. The improvement would provide for planned growth and economic development, improved safety, improved intermodal facility connections, and enhanced scenic values. The highway expansion proposed under location Alternative A would generally fit within the right-of-way already purchased. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to nine residences or businesses, fill 6.27 acres of wetlands and portions of floodplains along 12 streams, and adversely affect up to 87 acres of farmland. Two historic properties would be adversely affected. Several of the subalternatives would convert less than one acre of the Ashley Creek Recreation Trail to transportation uses.

Preparation date: February 17, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ADDITIONAL TEST RANGE FACILITIES AND SUPPORT SERVICES AT U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL IN SUPPORT OF THE MISSILE DEFENSE ACT OF 1991, MARSHALL ISLANDS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1989). AN - 15221873; 4390 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of tests and collection of data in support of missile research, development, and operational missions, including missions associated with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), on Kwajalein Atoll within the Republic of the Marshall Islands is proposed. Kwajalein Atoll is a crescent-shaped coral reef that encloses the world's largest lagoon. The land area of the atoll is 5.6 square miles. The proposed action outlined in the final EIS of October 1989 provided for test range facilities and support services for continuing research, development, operational launch missions, operational space track missions, and SDI activities. Early in 1991, President Bush announced a refocusing of the SDI program, from its early emphasis on defending against mass nuclear attack from a single source, to protection against limited ballistic missile strikes regardless of their source. The limited-strike program, known as Global Protection against Limited Strikes (GPALS), is designed to protect the U.S., our forces overseas, and our allies and friends abroad. GPALS has three segments: global missile defense (GMD), national missile defense (NMD), and theater missile defense (TMD). Congress, in addition to enacting the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1991 and 1992, enacted the Missile Defense Act of 1991 with the following goals: "(1) [to] deploy an ABM system, including one or an adequate number of ABM sites and space-based sensors, that is capable of providing a highly efficient defense of the United States against limited attacks of ballistic missiles; (2) [to] maintain strategic stability; and (3) [to] provide a highly effective TMD system to forward-deployed and expeditionary elements of the Armed Forces of the United States and to friends and allies of the United States." This final supplement to the final EIS considers two proposed actions. It outlines a proposed action in support of the Missile Defense Act of 1991, plus another proposed action, both requiring environmental analysis. Under the first proposed action, which would support the Missile Defense Act, actions would include the increased testing of advanced systems for defending against limited attacks of ballistic missiles and related support activities. Four alternatives, each proposing a distinct level of testing and development activity, are considered in this final supplement. Under the preferred alternative, an intermediate level of activity is proposed. Launches would be made from Meck, Omelek, and Illeginni islands; as a result, dredging and quarrying for shoreline protection and new facilities would be required. Meck Island would be expanded by approximately 15 acres to accommodate new launch facilities. Illeginni launch facilities would be reconstructed, and some existing silos on Meck and Illeginni could be destroyed. Under the second proposed action, locally developed environmental guidelines and procedures appropriate to the unique environment at Kwajalein Atoll would be adopted in order to replace the U.S.-based environmental statutes and regulations currently in place. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed changes in missile-testing activities would respond to changing U.S. defense needs following the relaxation of East-West tensions. The proposed new environmental regulations would provide higher levels of protection of air and water quality, wildlife resources, and soils. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: With an intermediate level of activity, the nonindigenous island population would increase by approximately 1,675 persons (or 52 percent), placing additional stress on housing and on social and infrastructural resources (e.g., the capacity of the Kwajalein wastewater treatment plant would be exceeded). A proposed explosive ordnance pit on Ennugarret Island would substantially increase noise levels, destroy a small habitat area inhabited by seabirds and coconut crabs, and degrade the aesthetic quality of the island. The expansion of Meck Island would adversely affect coral, fish, and invertebrates. The construction of revetments on a sandy beach on Illeginni Island could harm the hawksbill turtle, an endangered species. Construction and renovation activities on the islands could adversely affect historic and prehistoric sites. Finally, the levels of hazardous wastes generated on the islands would increase substantially. LEGAL MANDATES: Missile Defense Act of 1991.

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

Preparation date: February 15, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATIONING OF MECHANIZED OR ARMORED COMBAT FORCES AT FORT LEWIS, THURSTON AND PIERCE COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36406486; 4394 AB - PURPOSE: The stationing of mechanized or armored combat forces at Fort Lewis, Washington, and its sub-installation, the Yakima Training Center (YTC), is proposed. Fort Lewis is an 86,176-acre military reservation located in Pierce and Thurston counties in western Washington, approximately 35 miles south of Seattle and 7 miles northeast of Olympia. The YTC is a 323,651-acre subinstallation about 7 miles northeast of the city of Yakima on the east side of the Cascade range in Yakima and Kittitas counties in the central portion of the state. The forces proposed for relocation at Fort Lewis would probably come from U.S. bases outside the continental U.S. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the Two-Brigade Alternative), two heavy-combat brigades with roughly 10,400 additional troops and 1,100 tracked vehicles would be assigned to Fort Lewis and the YTC. Maneuver training at Fort Lewis would be primarily at the platoon level and result in 30,000 additional off-road tracked vehicle miles per year; training at YTC would be primarily at the battalion and brigade levels and result in 89,500 additional vehicle miles per year. The first brigade would arrive in the summer of 1994, and the second brigade would arrive in 1999 after construction to support the brigade's training activities had been completed. Facility requirements at Fort Lewis would include new maintenance facilities, an aviation unit maintenance facility, 200 barrack spaces, and an expansion of an existing washrack. At YTC, new facilities would include an ammunition supply point, an equipment concentration site, a petroleum and lubricant storage facility, an expansion of an existing washrack, a multipurpose training range, and an upgrade of the multipurpose range complex. Under the other action alternative, one brigade would be stationed at Fort Lewis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a heavy combat force would be placed in the western U.S. at a location with suitable terrain for training exercises, minimal needs for new construction, accessibility to sealift facilities, and the capability for rapid deployment in response to contingencies in the Pacific region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, increased dust from off- road training activities involving tracked vehicles would adversely affect air quality. Soil loss and increased erosion caused by greater off-road tracked vehicle miles at YTC would increase suspended solid levels in the Yakima and Columbia rivers during extreme runoff conditions. Training activities would also cause the loss of vegetation and wildlife habitat, increased traffic for off-post roadways and interchanges near Fort Lewis, increased noise levels beyond the installation boundaries, and the disruption of historic sites and lands used by Native Americans for food gathering. The projected population growth would increase the demand for additional classroom space in local school districts.

Preparation date: February 10, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND OUTFALL FACILITIES, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO. AN - 36398693; 4435 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an international wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and associated outfall facilities is proposed in order to treat flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River and its tributaries near the California-Mexico line. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would make grants to the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) to construct a collection, conveyance, and treatment works in the Tijuana River valley and an ocean outfall in U.S. waters. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative with two Mexican action variations, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), a 25-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) secondary wastewater treatment plant would be constructed on an approximately 75-acre site on Dairy Mart Road. The IWTP would collect and treat wastewater flows from the city of Tijuana that are currently flowing into California via the Tijuana River, other renegade wastewater flows entering the United States from north-draining canyons and gullies, and future sewage flows from Tijuana up to a total of 25 mgd. Treatment processes would include primary treatment by mechanically cleaned bar screens, grit removal by aerated vortex grit chambers, primary sedimentation removal by chemically-assisted, covered rectangular clarifiers, biological treatment by activated sludge mixing with fine bubble diffusers in uncovered basins, secondary sedimentation removal by uncovered rectangular clarifiers, and disinfection by chlorination/dechlorination on-site. Odor control would include a two-stage scrubber for the headworks and single- stage demisting for primary sedimentation and sludge processing. The sludge treatment process would include sludge thickening by dissolved air flotation thickeners, sludge stabilization by lime stabilization and pasteurization, and sludge dewatering by belt filter press technique. Following treatment, effluent would be discharged into the Pacific Ocean in the U.S. via a land and ocean outfall conveyance system, a pipeline consisting of two segments: the south bay land outfall and the south bay ocean outfall. The ocean outfall, which would connect to the land outfall, would run underground to a point 18,400 feet offshore and discharge treated effluent at an ocean depth of 93 feet; it would be designed to carry an average outflow of 132 mgd. Sludge generated by the treatment plant would be either processed by sludge processing facilities on-site or transported, in dilute form, back to Mexico for treatment and disposal. The proposed action would be undertaken with the understanding that Mexico would make significant in-country improvements to ensure that there would be no discharges of treated or untreated domestic or industrial wastewater into the Tijuana River that crosses the international boundary. Construction of the ITWP and associated conveyance and outfall pipelines would begin in 1994 and would continue into 1998. Construction costs of the ITWP are estimated at $142 million; construction costs for the ocean outfall are estimated at $124 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the region would benefit ecologically, economically, recreationally, and public health- wise. Treatment of raw sewage currently flowing from Mexico into the San Diego area via the Tijuana River would improve public health and safety in southern California. Quarantines of beaches along the south San Diego shore would be obviated, and severe damage to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve would be halted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the ITWP would displace 5 residences, 14 acres of livestock areas, and farm buildings. Divers swimming near the outfall would be exposed to health risks. The increase in noise levels, and the use of artificial lighting at night during the breeding season, from the construction of the IBWC field office could adversely affect the least Bell's vireo. Noise from construction could also adversely affect the coastal California gnatcatcher.

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

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

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

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

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

The poor performance of beach nourishment projects initiated in the 1960s and 1970s has prompted implementation of various experimental and alternative erosion control schemes. Since 1981, the city has invested $4.5 million in the establishment of coarse sand beaches, sandbag reefs, and artificial seaweed plots.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AN - 15221535; 4450 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a 50-year plan for meeting the water supply needs of the lower Virginia peninsula is proposed. The project area includes the cities of Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, and Williamsburg, and the counties of York and James City. The region is bounded by the James River on the south, the York River on the north, the Chesapeake Bay on the east, and New Kent and Charles City counties on the west. Based on population growth projections, the region will probably experience a water supply deficit as early as 1998. The reservoirs presently operated by Newport News Waterworks, the major supplier in the region, have yielded low-quality water whenever markedly drawn down; furthermore, additional drawdowns of groundwater could result in salt water intrusion in depleted aquifers. Focal issues identified include the effects on wetlands, endangered and threatened species, water quality and hydrology, and cultural resources. Thirty-one alternatives are considered in this draft EIS; three of these alternatives are proposed as the preferred long-term components of an overall plan to increase regional treated water delivery by 30.2 million gallons per day (mgd) through the year 2040. The three components involve establishing use restrictions beyond normal conservation measures to produce short-term reductions in water demand during water supply emergencies, resulting in the conservation of 1.5 mgd (Alternative 30); developing new well fields in western James City County and eastern New Kent County to provide an additional 4.4 mgd when local reservoir storage is below 75 percent of capacity (Alternative 21); and constructing a new 90-foot earthen dam across Cohoke Mill Creek in King William County, creating a reservoir that would provide 26.4 mgd (Alternative 15). The reservoir would drain 13.2 square miles and cover 2,234 acres at 90-foot pool elevation; it would be supplemented with water pumped from a new 75 mgd pump station on the Mattaponi River in King William County. In addition, water from the new reservoir would be pumped to two existing reservoirs to supplement their supplies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the region's water supply and quality problems would be addressed; short-term conservation and emergency supply needs would be met while the new dam and reservoir are being built. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the new reservoir would result in the loss of 1,719 acres of forested habitat and 479 acres of palustrine vegetated wetlands. The withdrawal of waters from the Mattaponi River would represent a 7 percent loss of the river's average flow. Some 28.3 miles of stream channels would be impounded. The proposed dam is located within 375 feet of a bald eagle nest site.

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

Preparation date: January 19, 1994 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHWEST HARBOR CLEANUP AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, PORT OF SEATTLE, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36413371; 4451 AB - PURPOSE: The redevelopment and expansion of an existing container shipping terminal near the port of Seattle, Washington, is proposed. The proposed expansion would accommodate additional container services for American President Lines (APL) and other Port of Seattle customers to meet projected demand here and abroad. Additional project objectives would include avoiding or minimizing land-use and aquatic area impacts, improving the Harbor Avenue SW corridor, increasing public shoreline access, cleaning up contaminated areas, and improving fish and wildlife habitat. The project area, which occupies roughly 285 acres, is located in the Duwamish estuary where the mouth of the Duwamish River flows into Elliot Bay and Puget Sound. It is generally bounded to the south by SW Spokane Street, on the west by Harbor Avenue SW, to the north by Elliot Bay, and to the east by the West Waterway of the Duwamish River. This area presently contains 100 acres dedicated to Terminal 5 leased to APL; 80 acres of combined upland and aquatic areas at the closed Lockheed Shipyard No. 2 and the soon-to-be-closed wood treatment plant on the Wyckoff site; and 105 acres of upland west and south of these areas used by the Burlington Northern rail yard and other industrial facilities. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred redevelopment alternative (the West Waterway Redevelopment Alternative), Terminal 5 would be expanded to occupy 190 acres with an intermodal rail yard. The existing pier would be extended by 400 feet to add one berth, providing the terminal with up to three berths; this extension would require the removal of a timber pile pier, thereby reducing contamination levels in Elliott Bay. An additional 1,000 feet of pier would provide a fourth berth. Various cleanup activities would be undertaken, including dredging contaminated sediments from the Lockheed West Waterway Area and placing them on top of contaminated sediments at the north end of the site where they would be capped with clean cover material. Smaller contaminated areas would be capped with clean sediments throughout the project area. The estimated capital improvements costs for the preferred alternative range from $288.0 million to $316.0 million, depending on the number of berths built and the type of cleanup implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the capacity of the port would be increased to handle additional shipping, and the overall efficiency of operations would improve. Terminal traffic would increase by roughly 10 percent, generating roughly $74.6 million in additional income. In addition, soils and marine sediments contaminated from past industrial practices would be cleaned up, and the potential for the contamination of groundwater through leaching would be reduced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Although fish and wildlife would benefit from the elimination of contaminated soils, some reduction of habitat would take place as a result of the expansion of Terminal 5 and the filling of tidally-influenced stormwater drainage pools. Cleanup operations would adversely alter up to 19 acres of tribal fishing area by raising it from subtidal to intertidal elevations. Up to 10 businesses with 175 employees would be relocated.

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

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

Walleye were reared at a practical culture density in a single-pass system at 23.2 degrees C. Diurnal variation in metabolic rates were related to feeding, not to photoperiod. Minimum OC rates occurred 30 min before the first feeding of the day, which was the longest average time since the last feeding. Metabolic rates increased immediately after feeding. The maximum rates of OC were 36-49% higher than the minimum rates, and 14-22% higher than the 24-h mean rate. Maximum rates for AE were 137-409% higher than the minimum rates, and 39-87% higher than the mean rates. There was a highly significant difference in the mean metabolic rates related to feeding frequency. AE was directly proportional to OC. JF - Aquacultural engineering.

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

LIBS is based on a Nd:YAG laser operating at 50-100 mJ at lambda = 1.06 mu m. The beam is focused on the surface of the sample to produce a laser spark (plasma). The atomic emission lines are recorded using an optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) after specific gate delay times. Gating delay times of a few microseconds allow broadband emissions to decay before detecting heavy metal emission lines. This remote sampling technique has application in monitoring both land and ocean sites containing heavy metals. Research has been performed on the detection of As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, and Zn. Results are reported on the detection levels of Cr in soil samples. In addition, computer software has been developed to automate the identification of atomic emission lines for mixed matrices of these heavy metals in background emissions from elements typically in soil. Future plans are to determine the minimum limits of detection for various heavy metals by a typical LIBS system based on a Nd:YAG laser and a fiber-optic collection system for the plasma emissions.

Furthermore, private businesses often require accurate water depth information for planning projects of various sorts. Examples of such businesses would include, but not be limited to, petroleum firms, shorefront planning and construction businesses, and dredging companies. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has recently successfully field tested the Scanning Hydrographic Operational Airborne LIDAR Survey (SHOALS) system in Sarasota, FL. The SHOALS is a state of the art Airborne LIDAR Hydrographic (ALH) system to be used by the USACE (leasable to other US government agencies) for performing bathymetric surveying in support of maintaining the nations public waterways, flood control, and beach erosion and renourishment projects. A funded exploratory spin-off project that merges the SHOALS system and an imaging spectrometer as a proposed permanent dual sensor system, provides, over a survey area, both SHOALS depth information and hyperspectral imagery of the survey area. This paper discusses the use of this dual sensor system in bathymetric charting of coastal water areas.

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

Errors in estimating chlorophyll can result when increasing winds create an increasingly whitecapped air-sea interface. The resulting errors in estimating chlorophyll concentration are shown for a range of windspeeds of 0-25 m/s and for a range of chlorophyll concentrations of 0-20 mg/m super(3). Model results are furnished for correcting remotely sensed chlorophyll for varying sea states provided that some estimate of surface wind fields is available.

S. Federal environmental programs. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund), and related regulations require public involvement in determining impacts, iden tifying threats and deciding on remedial environmental actions. Federal environmental planning is oriented towards allowing forums for airing pub lic concerns, without direct public control of decisions. The paper uses the sociology of risk literature to show how the actors and processes have been structured through law and regulation. Following Stallings's (1990) frame work of the social organization of risk discourse, this paper identifies the claims makers, stakeholders, and risk definers within the NEPA and CERCLA processes. The processes include definition soliciting, information dissemi nation, claims making and risk defining. The paper concludes by stressing the need for public involvement policy to be grounded theory and research.

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

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

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

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

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

In addition to peak discharge the simulated hydrograph shape and runoff volume were affected significantly by computational spatial discretization size and the magnitude of the effect was model-dependent. When the catchment parameters were constant the effect of computational spatial discretization size on model simulation accuracy was an order of magnitude greater than the effect of catchment surface condition variability. Spatial discretization size should be selected to obtain numerically satisfactory computations in addition to an adequate representation of physical area variability.

These were obtained by modifying the equation for the tangential velocity proposed in 1930 by Rosenhead. Strong air-core vortices near a water intake were studied in a series of laboratory experiments. The equations were in agreement with experimental data and were applicable to vortex motion in general. An eddy-viscosity term was included in the equations for radial and axial vortex velocities. The application of the equations in determining the submergence required to avoid air-entraining vortices at intakes is considered.

The probability distributions of group length for field measurements and previous numerical simulations were nearly identical indicating linear combinations of spectral components could predict grouping in short-fetch, locally-generated seas at the study site. Sequences of wave height within groups showed no strong, physically justifiable trends and extreme waves showed no tendency to occur together in a group.

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

Magnitude frequency calculations of discharge data are presented and the determination of top-bank and mid-channel bar elevations considered. Cumulative sediment transport and the impact of a major flood event are discussed. Morphological expressions of dominant discharge and effective range of flows are considered and engineering applications are identified. Hydrographic data, long-profile records and stage discharge relationships from calibrated one-dimensional flow models indicated that the dominant discharge corresponded to bar full' discharge and the effective range of flows occurred between the stage that just topped the mid channel bars and that which significantly overtopped the banks. Historical trends in bar growth indicated bar-top elevations had generally risen during the past 30 years to dominant flow elevation. Mid channel bars represented the major contemporary morphological feature.

AN - 36398257; 4365 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 3.1-mile segment of State Route (SR) 87 between Julian Street and US 101 in the city of San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, is proposed. Known as the Guadalupe Parkway, the segment is currently a four-lane expressway with at- grade signalized intersections at Airport Parkway, West Hedding Street, Mission Street, and Taylor Street. Two alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the proposed action (the preferred alternative), the segment would be widened to six lanes. Existing at-grade intersections would be replaced with grade separation structures and/or interchanges, which would upgrade the expressway to freeway status. The existing SR 87 bridges over I-880 would be replaced, and the existing SR 87 bridge over Coleman Avenue would be widened, so as to accommodate the upgraded facility. Skyport Drive would extend to Airport Boulevard under one of the design options and a frontage/local circulation road along the east side of the freeway would be built to connect West Hedding Street with Market Street. An additional auxiliary lane on northbound US 101 between Route 87 and north of the Trimble/De La Cruz interchange would be built. North San Pedro Street, between West Taylor and West Hedding streets, would be widened and realigned in order to improve traffic circulation in the Civic Center area. Two of the proposed six lanes would be operated as high-occupancy-vehicle lanes during peak commuting hours. Interchange on-ramps would be designed to provide for ramp metering, including a bypass of metering lights for carpools and buses as well as sufficient room for metering enforcement by police. South of I-880, the freeway would be at-grade at Taylor Street and elevated over Hedding Street in order to minimize impacts on parklands and riparian areas, improve access to the Civic Center, and accommodate a future I-880 interchange. The estimated cost of construction is $143.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would complete the only missing freeway segment of the SR 87 corridor, which extends from US 101 on the north to SR 85 on the south. Existing congestion within the study segment would be relieved, and anticipated increases in traffic would be accommodated. Travelers moving between the large residential areas in southern San Jose and the commercial and industrial employment areas in northern Santa Clara County would be served more effectively. The redevelopment of downtown San Jose and expansion of the airport would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of riparian habitat and the displacement of 79 households and 378 parking spaces. Separation structures would impinge on visual aesthetics. The project would result in the loss of approximately 4.5 acres of ecologically valuable riparian habitat along the Guadalupe River, and stormwater runoff from the highway has the potential to degrade the river's water quality. Increased noise levels would adversely affect some areas.

BONNER BRIDGE (BRIDGE NO. 11) OVER OREGON INLET, DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36409289; 4368 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge on North Carolina 12 (NC 12) crossing the Oregon Inlet in Dare County, North Carolina, is proposed. The bridge was built across Oregon Inlet in 1962 and is approaching the end of its service life. It is part of NC 12 and provides the only highway connection between Hatteras Island and Brodie Island along North Carolina's Outer Banks. The replacement structure would serve the same function and be built in a corridor paralleling the existing bridge. Two alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, including a No Action Alternative, which would assume that the Bonner bridge would be demolished at and be replaced by a small-scale ferry service. The new structure would provide a 36-foot clear roadway with two 12-foot wide lanes and six feet of lateral clearance on each side. The length of the entire project would be approximately 3.2 miles, including approximately 2.5 miles of bridge structure. The bridge spans placed in the Inlet, for a distance of approximately 5,000 feet, would have a minimum horizontal navigation clearance of 200 feet and a vertical clearance of 65 to 75 feet. Under the proposed action, the bridge would connect with the existing alignment of NC 12 as soon as possible on both islands. The design, however, would accommodate the future relocation of NC 12 on the north end of Hatteras Island. The existing bridge would be demolished. In a related action, the Corps of Engineers would continue its regular dredging of the navigation channel through the inlet, use the sand behind the terminal groin on the north end of Hatteras Island to nourish beaches at locations where NC 12 is currently threatened by overwash, and build two jetties to stabilize the shoulders of the inlet and the shoreline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The replacement of the existing bridge would increase safety for vehicular traffic and provide continued access to Hatteras Island for residents and tourists. Safety would be enhanced primarily by the widening of the shoulder widths by four feet, the reduction of the number of accidents on the bridge, and the facilitation of emergency evacuations. The design of the new bridge would take into account natural channel migration expected through the year 2050 and provide the flexibility to let the channel move. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: On both sides of the bridge, the project would be within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and within the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on the Hatteras side.

AN - 36406554; 4376 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce saltwater intrusion into water supplied to customers of the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) of Concord, California, is proposed. CCWD provides water to approximately 400,000 retail and wholesale customers throughout north-central and east Contra Costa County. The current water supply is subject to substantial variations in quality during seasonal periods of saltwater intrusion from San Francisco Bay into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CCWD's water source. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, a new reservoir, to be called the Los Vaqueros reservoir, would be built within the Kellogg Creek watershed; a new supplemental intake at Old River No. 5 site would also be built. The reservoir would cover approximately 1,460 acres and have a storage capacity of 100,000 acre-feet (af), with a maximum allocation of 56,000 af of emergency storage, 30,000 af of water quality enhancement storage, 10,000 af of unused storage, and 4,000 af of evaporation storage. During critical periods when an insufficient amount of high-quality water was available directly from the delta, water from the reservoir would be released and blended with water from the delta to achieve CCWD's water quality goal. The reservoir would be filled between November 1 and June 30, when surplus water of adequate quality would normally be available in the delta. The dam for the reservoir would be an earthen embankment approximately 192 feet high, to be located on Kellogg Creek 7 miles south of Brentwood. Related construction projects would include a new supplemental intake and fish screen facility in the delta, 5 to 10 miles from the reservoir site, with a new electric transmission line to supply power and new pipelines to convey water from the new intake location to the reservoir; a transfer reservoir (approximately 10 af); a pumping plant for diverting the required flows from the delta to the reservoir or the Contra Costa Canal; and a 96-inch-diameter, 12-mile-long pipeline for delivering water to and from the pumping plant. The project would require the relocation of Vasco Road, an important regional roadway, as well as of an electric transmission line and other utility facilities. Overall development costs are estimated to be $28.5 million to $34.2 million; annual operating costs at project buildout are estimated to be $2.3 million to $2.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing high-quality water during periods when the delta waters are high in salinity, the reservoir would provide storage for water that could be used during an emergency, such as a major levee failure or chemical spill in the delta waterway. In addition, numerous trails, picnic areas, and other recreational facilities would be constructed around the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, some 12 acres of land classified as being prime, unique, or of statewide importance would be permanently altered; and some eight residences within the Kellogg Creek watershed would be relocated. Approximately 180 acres of valley oak woodland would be lost in the inundation area of the reservoir as well as 542 acres of annual grasslands and 737 acres of dryland farmed grasslands. The project would also adversely affect about three acres of willow cottonwood riparian woodland along creeks and other major drainages. Development of recreational facilities would significantly add to traffic congestion in the area. Scenic views would be adversely affected by the high visibility of the electric transmission line at the intake facility site and the creation of an unvegetated exposed ring around the reservoir when drawn down during critical periods.

Preparation date: November 18, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CANAL PARKWAY DEVELOPMENT STUDY, FROM MD 51 TO THE WILEY FORD BRIDGE, ALLEGANY COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36398831; 4366 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of various roads is proposed for the Cumberland, Maryland, area in order to improve access from I-68 and downtown Cumberland to the South Cumberland area and the Cumberland Municipal Airport, located across the Potomac River in West Virginia. The existing two-lane Virginia Avenue underpass of the CSX Railroad is the only access route linking these two areas of Cumberland. The underpass currently experiences traffic congestion during peak periods; as a result, Virginia Avenue has an accident rate higher than similar facilities. In addition to the No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), three build alternatives and two optional connections at the Ford Avenue crossing of the C&O Canal are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 2, Virginia Avenue would be widened to four lanes from Fourth Street to Bowen Street. The CSX bridge could be replaced in order to improve the vertical clearance of the underpass. In addition, curbs and sidewalks would be added, and the existing roadway would be resurfaced. Under Alternative 3, a two-lane undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 west of Virginia Avenue to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue. Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. Under Alternative 4 (Canal Parkway), a two-lane undivided highway would be built on a new location from MD 51 at Wineow Street to the area of River Avenue and Ford Avenue, and Ford Avenue would be improved to the Wiley Ford Bridge. The two optional connections (Options A and B) would include the removal of the existing low-arch bridge, which carries Ford Avenue over the C&O Canal, and the construction of a new full-clearance bridge over the canal and towpath. A raised profile along Ford Avenue would be needed to accommodate the new roadway and bridge. Under Option A, which could be built under Alternatives 1 and 2, Ford Avenue would be reconstructed as a two-lane undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with River Avenue. Improvements would be made to the Clement Street intersection with Ford Avenue and new driveways would provide access to two commercial establishments on Ford Avenue. Under Option B, which could be built under Alternatives 3 and 4, Ford Avenue would be shifted slightly to the west and reconstructed as a new two-lane undivided roadway from approximately 200 feet south of the C&O Canal Bridge to its intersection with Clement Street. Also under consideration is a related action involving the re-watering of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal from the existing Ford Avenue crossing to its terminus in downtown Cumberland and the reconstruction of the towpath. This area lies south of MD 51 and the CSX railroad tracks and is bounded on three sides by the Potomac River. Under this proposal, approximately two miles of C&O Canal would be rewatered, and the canal and towpath would be restored to their historic elevations. The project would require the excavation of the canal and the restructuring of a portion of the Corps of Engineers flood protection project that was completed in the 1950s. A retaining wall would be built along the shale embankment that currently supports the CSX Railroad tracks. The parklands alongside the Canal would be publicly accessible at the Terminus and South Park areas as well as from existing streets in South Cumberland. The estimated cost of the transportation improvements ranges from $3 million to $39 million; the estimated cost of the proposed park improvement ranges from $60 million to $80 million. Although these two actions are both evaluated in this draft EIS, they could be implemented independently of one another. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed transportation project, traffic operation and safety would be improved. The connection between downtown Cumberland and the municipal airport would also be improved, thereby aiding the local economy. Restoration of the Canal would increase tourist interest in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for transportation improvements would displace up to 29 residences and 11 businesses, and adversely affect up to three historic districts and some archaeological sites; some additional displacements would occur as the result of future park improvements. Up to 1.5 acres of the Potomac River floodplain and 1.3 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected by the transportation improvements, while the park improvements would affect 80 acres of floodplain and 12 acres of wetlands.

Preparation date: November 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RED MOUNTAIN FREEWAY (LOOP 202), PRICE FREEWAY TO STATE ROUTE 87, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 15224005; 4363 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway along the south side of the Salt River in the city of Mesa, Arizona, is proposed. The proposed roadway would extend approximately three miles from the traffic interchange that connects Loop 101 and Loop 202 on the west, to State Route 87 on the east. It would constitute a segment of Loop 202 within the Phoenix metropolitan area; Loop 101 is comprised of the Price, Pima, and Agua Fria corridors; Loop 202 is comprised of the Red Mountain, Santan, and South Mountain corridors. A recent traffic analysis concluded that such an east-west facility would provide the needed relief to traffic congestion in the area; by 2015, daily traffic volume is expected to increase by 81 percent over existing volumes. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, a six-lane freeway with grade-separated interchanges and controlled access would be built. The freeway mainline would consist of two 36-foot-wide roadways separated by a 46-foot-wide median. The freeway would be generally at or slightly above ground level; elevated diamond interchanges would be provided at Dobson Road and Alma School Road. A portion of Dobson Road north of 8th Street would be realigned to connect with the diamond interchange. A half-diamond interchange would be built at the eastern terminus at State Route 87. An elevated grade separation over McKellips Road would also be built. If the collector-distributor roads between McKellips Road and Alma School Road interchange ramps were built, they would provide access between McKellips Road and the freeway. Under the other action alternative, an eight-lane major urban arterial with at-grade intersections would be built. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $60 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, a projected increase in traffic congestion would be alleviated, and a critical connecting link in the overall transportation system would be provided. The general circulation and accessibility between the area and the surrounding community would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 62 mobile homes in a mobile home park, 15 businesses, and 39 acres of farmland. The freeway would encroach upon the regulatory floodway and floodplain of the Salt River. Disturbances of biological and cultural resources would be minimal because the area has been used for sand and gravel mining, agriculture, and urban development.

Jahns distinguished lecture in engineering geology AN - 50253418; 1994-017175 AB - Gutenberg-Richter b-values are dysfunctional for site-specific applications in the engineering of critical structures. Their dysfunction results from differences in the mechanism of faulting and nonuniformity in the occurrences of earthquakes over time and space. The mechanisms of faulting include stick slip, various categories of controlled slip, and a multitude of thermodynamic slip processes which range from rock melting to stress releases by hydrothermal and other fluids at or near lithostatic pressures. These processes cause accelerated fault movements and chaotic earthquake occurrences, while asperities and barriers along faults contribute to temporary clustering effects that develop characteristic earthquakes but do not give them continuity through time. B-line projections must incorporate these complexities, but they can do so only when they are inclusive for large, seismically active areas such as southern California, the Aleutian arc, etc. Within the relatively small earthquake source areas that determine damaging earthquake ground motions at individual engineering sites, b-values become dysfunctional at M> or =5.0. Because b-values are the determinants of probabilistic seismic hazard analyses, there are severe restraints on the usefulness of probabilistic methods to assign earthquake ground motions for the engineering of critical structures. The latter include major dams, nuclear power plants, liquefied petroleum gas installations, repositories for dangerous wastes, military command centers, sensitive industrial and defense installations, fire stations, schools, and hospitals.

AN - 36414865; 4279 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane, 19.5-mile trestle and bridge, crossing the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Northampton County on Virginia's Eastern Shore, is proposed. The proposed facility would run parallel to and adjoining the existing two-lane facility, which has been operated by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel District since 1959; the facility is the only direct link between the Delmarva Peninsula and southeastern Virginia. In recent years traffic has steadily increased on the structure, particularly during the summer months when maintenance work must be performed. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed project (the preferred alternative) would consist of a two-lane, low-level trestle structure adjoining the existing trestle, two high-level bridges over the North Channel and Fishermans Inlet, and at-grade roadway construction at Virginia Beach, across Fisherman's Island and on the Eastern shore. The trestle structure (piles, pile cap beams, and concrete superstructure) would support a roadway 36 feet wide from gutter line to gutter line, with two 12-foot wide travel lanes, a three-foot inside (left) shoulder, and a nine-foot outside (right) shoulder. The two bridges would have the same vertical and horizontal main span clearances as the two existing bridges. The $300-million project would accommodate the future construction of tunnels parallel to the existing tunnels beneath the Thimble Shoal and Chesapeake navigation channels. The current project as proposed would not include the construction of two additional tunnels; instead, the new roadway would tie into the existing crossing at each of the four tunnel portal islands. The parallel roadway would be built on the Bay side of the existing structure in order to minimize the risk of ocean waves pushing construction equipment into the existing facility, and roughly 250 feet or more from the existing crossing to minimize local scour. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed structure would reduce the risks of accidents and improve traffic safety, accommodate expected traffic growth, and enable the performance of major maintenance work on the facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic habitat would be lost as a result of portal island berm construction, bridge and trestle pile installation, and the widening of the Fishermans Island causeway. Less than one acre of wetlands would be permanently displaced by the proposed construction. Short-term increases in turbidity and sedimentation from construction channel dredging and other construction activities would take place. The northernmost three miles of the proposed project would cross two national wildlife refuges.

AN - 36410414; 4262 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of a 15-mile segment of Colorado State Highway (SH) 82 from a point one mile east of Basalt to the Buttermilk Ski Area, located two miles west of Aspen in Pitkin County, Colorado, is proposed. Current traffic volume along SH 82 far exceeds the capacity of the two-lane roadway, and the roadway from Basalt to Aspen has experienced higher than average accident rates for the past twenty years. Seven alignment alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alignment Alternative 2A and Modal Alternative IV), the highway would be widened from two to four lanes, with two of the lanes reserved for bus and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) use during peak hours for that portion of the highway connecting Gerbazdale and Buttermilk. The highway would generally follow the alignment of existing SH 82, but would cut into some slopes in order to improve curve geometry; in addition, the section of SH 82 near the airport would be realigned in order to improve airport safety under a plan developed by Pitkin County and the Federal Aviation Administration. Various roadway cross sections would be used for the four-lane widening to best fit the terrain, address capacity and safety needs, and respond to environmental and public concerns. Additional transportation improvements would include intercept lots (multimodal transfer stations) near the airport, Buttermilk Ski Area, and Bush Creek Road in order to allow passengers to shift from transportation mode to another; park and ride facilities at Glenwood Springs (two), Carbondale, El Jebel, and Basalt; and bike and pedestrian trail improvements. The possibility of extending these highway improvements an additional two miles from Buttermilk to Aspen will be considered in a separate EIS, although this segment was included in the various alternatives considered in the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Safety and capacity of SH 82 would be enhanced, and traffic congestion on the facility would be relieved. The facility would provide infrastructural support for the economy of Pitkin County. Provisions for realignment in the vicinity of the airport would provide needed space for expansion of the airport. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace one residence that is directly in the path of the proposed new alignment and up to 30 residences along the existing alignment in Snowmass Canyon. Rights-of-way development would also encroach on a historic ranch, portions of a trail, and wetlands. Construction activities would result in temporary sedimentation increases in the Roaring Fork River. Wildlife habitat would be displaced, and the potential for animal/vehicle collisions would be increased. The visual quality of the Roaring Fork Valley would be degraded.

AN - 36413840; 4293 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan is proposed for regulating boating activity on the Fox River and Chain O' Lakes system in Lake and McHenry counties in northern Illinois. The project area extends from the Wisconsin-Illinois border to Route 62 at the Algonquin Dam, encompassing the immediate vicinities of Channel Lake, Catherine Lake, Lake Marie, Bluff Lake, Petite Lake, Grass Lake, Fox Lake, Nippersink Lake, Pistakee Lake, several islands, numerous interconnecting channels, and portions of the Fox River. For many years the area has been a popular recreational site for Chicago residents, and boating activity has recently increased dramatically. Focal issues identified during the scoping process include the effects of the high levels of boating activity and the related water quality degradation, loss of wetlands, degradation of remaining wetlands, recreational boating conflicts, boating safety issues, substantial sedimentation, dredging needs in the lake and channel areas, difficulties in locating or permitting disposal areas for dredged materials, shoreline erosion, failures in seawall and shoreline protection, excessive boat noise, economic development, flooding, and controversy over the amount and timing of water drawdown on the lakes. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 2), there would be no net gain in the total number of existing boat docks, slips, ramps, or launches; no additional facilities would be permitted unless similar facilities were removed from the system. Public and multi-user dock systems as well as marinas would not be approved unless existing boat slips providing dockage of the same size and an equivalent number of boats were removed from the system. Exceptions would be made for docks and slips added to an existing single-family waterfront residence; such single-family permits are currently covered under Corps of Engineers regional permits. Maintenance dredging of previously dredged channels and lake areas would continue. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, regulatory authority would be consolidated under a single agency; currently several local, state, and federal agencies operate under various legal authorities within selected jurisdictions in the area. The proposed plan would improve public safety while minimizing environmental damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed plan, boating activity would continue at its current level (or increase slightly) and adversely affect the following: nutrient resuspension, water clarity, and total suspended solids; shoreline erosion; sediment quality; algal blooms; noise levels; composition, condition, distribution, and diversity of aquatic plants, including both threatened and endangered species and lotus; condition, distribution, and diversity of fish; threatened and endangered fauna; waterfowl and shorebirds; muskrats; ecological relationships concerning natural areas, aquatic habitat, wetland habitat, system condition, and resource-carrying capacity; a state park; congestion; conflicting uses; and summer sailing and cruising. 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 River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

The source of the heat for the geothermal field and the nature of the hydrothermal system have been investigated by analyses of gravity, thermal, and hydrogeologic data. A deep, cylindrically shaped, anomalous mass approximately 10-15 km in diameter is inferred to exist approximately 5 km beneath the geothermal field based on inverse modeling of a -17 mGal gravity anomaly isolated by strike filtering. This body is assumed to be a young intrusion and the heat source for the geothermal field. The configuration of the anomalous body was used in a vertical cross-sectional model of the hydrothermal system. The results of the modeling indicate (1) the source of the fluid recharge for the field is the Mineral Mountains; (2) the age of the source of the geothermal field may be younger than 500,000 years, the age of nearby rhyolites; (3) water at high temperature may be found beneath the sedimentary basin west of the geothermal field if sufficient permeability can be found; (4) the deep body beneath the field has significant permeability, in excess of 5 X 10 (super -18) m (super 2) ; and (5) the fault zone which acts as a conduit for upwelling thermal waters and provides the production at the field is probably bounded by low-permeability material.

While the emphasis is on alluvial fans, many of the potential flood hazards and performance problems for fans are the same as those on alluvial stream projects throughout the Southwest. It is intended that documented flood problems will lead to an awareness of potential causes for failure, and the required analyses to quantify important design parameters. JF - Project Reports.

AN - 36415050; 4297 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the navigation channel at Coos Bay, Oregon, is proposed. Coos Bay is the largest estuary on the Oregon coast excluding the Columbia River; the estuary covers over 12,000 acres, most of which are tide flats and tidal marshes. Some tributaries drain into the estuary, including the Coos River. Coos Bay is one of the world's largest shipping ports for timber products. The existing project at Coos Bay provides a channel over an entrance bar that is one mile long and 45 feet deep. The channel, which is stabilized by jetties to the north and south, transitions to a 35-foot-deep inner channel extending 15 miles to the city of Coos Bay. Six alternative plans related to channel modification, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would deepen the channel by two feet from the entrance to river mile (rm) 15 and widen the turning basin at rm 12 by 100 feet. More specifically, the preferred plan would provide an outer bar approach 47 feet deep and 700 feet wide; an entrance through the jetties 47 feet by 700 feet wide, tapering to 300 feet wide by 37 feet deep; a lower channel 37 feet deep by 300 feet wide to rm 9 and an upper channel 37 feet deep by 400 feet wide to rm 15; and expanding the rm 12 turning basin width from 800 feet to 900 feet. The dredged material would be disposed at designated offshore sites; all material dredged from the channel is considered suitable for in-water disposal. The total estimated annual costs of the proposal are $1.31 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deepening the existing entrance and inner channel would reduce commercial shipping delays and allow full loading of ships. Channel deepening would permit larger vessels to use the port, resulting in fewer ships carrying the same or increased cargo volumes at lower cost per ton. Channel deepening would also allow the port to maintain its competitive position in the world market. The proposed plan would have annual benefits of $4.67 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would alter present topography along the 15-mile length of the navigation channel and at the ocean disposal sites; remove or bury benthic organisms at these sites; disturb fish and wildlife habitat and food sources through dredging, mechanical rock removal, and disposal; temporarily increase estuarine turbidity and salinity; slightly change estuarine circulation and sedimentation patterns; and slightly increase maintenance dredging requirements.

Preparation date: September 24, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US TRUNK HIGHWAY 14 FROM OWATONNA TO KASSON (STATE PROJECT 2001-14; 2002-23), DODGE AND STEELE COUNTIES, MINNESOTA. AN - 36389699; 4270 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a segment of US Trunk Highway 14 (US 14), located in Dodge and Steel counties, Minnesota, is proposed. The project would be located in the southeastern portion of the state. It would extend approximately 24 miles eastward from the existing four-lane section south of the city of Owatonna (1.3 miles west of the junction of Trunk Highway (TH) 218) to the existing four-lane section west of the city of Kasson. Communities directly affected by the proposed action would include Owatonna, Claremont, and Dodge Center. This segment of US 14 is currently a ten-ton, two-lane roadway classified as a principal arterial. The project would provide a four-lane divided highway that would meet state design standards for a rural, controlled-access expressway. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 1A would involve construction on a new alignment through most of the project study area from Owatonna to Kasson, including a southern bypass of the city of Dodge Center. A new bridge would be placed across Dodge Center Creek, and a grade-separated diamond interchange would be provided at the intersection of the facility with TH 56. Alternative 3 would involve widening of existing US 14 from the western terminus near TH 218 to the eastern terminus west of Kasson. This alternative would require construction of two grade-separated railroad crossings, an additional bridge crossing for Dodge Center Creek, and a four-lane urban section extending approximately 1.5 miles through Dodge Center. A frontage road system would be developed along the north side of the highway. Alternative 3A would follow the existing US 14 alignment for much of the project length between Owatonna and Kasson but would provide a northern bypass of Dodge Center. Grade separation structures and stream crossings would be similar to those under Alternative 3, and a grade-separated diamond interchange would be provided at what would become the northern extension of TH 56. The preferred alternative, newly presented in this final EIS, combines Alternatives 1A and 3, thereby providing a southern bypass of Dodge Center and using most of the existing alignment west of Dodge Center. The reconstruction of the existing US 14 alignment would be staged over a period contingent on funding availability. This final EIS assesses the impacts of the preferred alternative and presents public comments on the draft EIS, which is being reissued as a companion document. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Safety, capacity, and level of service on US 14 would be greatly improved. Local and regional accessibility (travel time) would also improve significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under the preferred alternative would displace 15.4 acres of existing wetlands, as well as 461 acres of farmlands, and eight residences. It would also require the partial acquisition of 11 residences and 1 business. The project would encroach on 1.4 acres of floodplains, but no increased flood hazard would result. Four receptors would be exposed to noise level increases of 10 decibels or greater. One archaeological site would be adversely affected. The crossing of Dodge Center Creek would adversely affect potential habitat of the state-listed threatened wood turtle, while native prairie plants along the DM&E railroad corridor could also be adversely affected.

Preparation date: September 20, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEASTERN PUBLIC SERVICE AUTHORITY OF VIRGINIA REGIONAL LANDFILL PROJECT, SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA. AN - 36409774; 4290 AB - PURPOSE: The Southeastern Public Service Authority (SPSA) proposes the expansion of its existing regional landfill onto an adjacent 525-acre parcel of land in Suffolk, Virginia. The SPSA serves the disposal needs of Virginia Beach and seven other communities in the south Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia. The service area is situated just below the confluence of the James, Nansemond, and Elizabeth Rivers. The regional landfill is one component of a multi-component 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 and well as certain recycling wastes. Under the proposed alternative, which is 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. 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. In addition to the No Action Alternative, two other alternatives for the landfill are considered in this draft EIS: a 700-acre site on the Isle of Wight, and a 3,850-acre Chesapeake site located across US 17 from the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help meet the waste disposal needs of a fast-growing section of the southern Virginia. Expanding the existing site would be more cost-effective than developing a new site; otherwise life cycle costs through the year 2020 would increase by $11.6 million for the Chesapeake and $187 million for the Isle of Wight site. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion would adversely affect an estimated 377 acres of wetlands. Approximately 200 acres of wetlands would be filled by the landfill and perimeter roads, 152 acres would be excavated as borrow for daily cover material, and 25 acres would be converted to a leachate management facility. It is estimated that 64 species of amphibians and reptiles and 43 species of mammals occur in or near the expansion site. Since the site is heavily wooded and lies directly north of the Great Dismal Swamp, an estimated 55 species of birds and 2 endangered species would be present in the area.

Preparation date: September 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FAIRFIELD BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BRIDGE, HYDE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 15223879; 4274 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Fairfield Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) bridge in Hyde County, North Carolina, is proposed. The bridge is authorized for replacement because of unsafe operating conditions associated with structural deterioration and narrow roadway, traffic delays, and high operation and maintenance costs. The bridge crosses the AIWW at mile 113.8 and is located approximately 3.7 miles north of the city of Fairfield, on the coastal plain approximately 40 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 20 miles from Pamlico Sound. The bridge is part of North Carolina 94, which runs from US 264 near New Holland to US 64 in Columbia. The existing structure, built in 1935, is a 200-foot-long steel through-truss swing bridge having a 20-foot two-lane roadway. The overhead clearance in 13.5 feet for highway traffic and the horizontal navigation clearance is 78 feet with a vertical clearance of 9.8 feet when closed. Current design standards require a 24-foot roadway, a vertical roadway clearance of 16 feet, and a minimum design load of 36 tons per vehicle. Focal issues addressed in relation to the replacement include the effects on land use and cover; wetlands; wildlife habitat; aquatic resources; cultural resources; visual quality and recreational resources; socioeconomics; hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste; floodplains; prime and unique farmlands; and endangered species. Three alternative alignments for the replacement bridge and two alternative borrow/disposal sites are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed replacement bridge would be a high-level, fixed-span, two-lane bridge providing a Coast Guard required minimum horizontal navigational clearance of 90 feet and a minimum vertical clearance of 65 feet over the AIWW. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacement of the structure under any alignment is less expensive than the annual maintenance costs for the existing structure; a No Action Alternative was believed not to be reasonable and was dropped from further consideration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some 1.5 acres of palustrine forested wetland, 1.0 acre of scrub-shrub wetland, and 1.6 acres of cattail marsh wetland would be adversely affected permanently. About ten acres would be adversely affected temporarily by borrow/disposal operations. The existing bridge is eligible for the National Registry of Historic Places; construction of the new bridge would necessitate its removal. The new bridge would dominate views along the waterway. Development for the bridge foundation in the base floodplain is unavoidable.

Preparation date: September 14, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MODIFICATIONS TO DIKE 14 CONFINED DISPOSAL FACILITY, CLEVELAND HARBOR, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO. AN - 36389932; 4295 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Dike 14 Confined Disposal Facility in Cleveland Harbor in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is proposed. Since 1968, all material dredged from the Cleveland River by the federal government, and much of that from the Outer Harbor and entrance channel, has been placed in confinement areas built in the harbor area. Dike Disposal Site 14 was built between September 1976 and October 1979. Since its completion, all highly polluted sediments dredged from federal navigation channels in Cleveland Harbor have been placed in the Dike 14 facility, which covers 88 acres. Dike 14 has also been used as a disposal site by various private dredging operations. Under the proposed plan, the dike would be incrementally raised to provide additional interim disposal capacity until a new confined disposal facility could be developed. The incremental raising would take place only if interim disposal of dredged material became necessary. The plan would raise the dike at the existing site by a maximum of seven feet, or 27 feet above the low water datum, and provide a maximum service life of approximately three years beyond its current capacity. A seven-foot increase in the dike height would provide 880,000 cubic yards of capacity. The plan would result in an increased height of dredged material within the existing dike and over the top of the Doan Brook culvert. Structural analysis indicates that the culvert would be overstressed if dredged material is allowed to flow freely to the planned elevation afforded by the increased height of the perimeter dike. To assure that design limitations as to maximum fill elevations are not exceeded, temporary dikes would be built to hold back the dredged material from over the top of Doan Brook culvert. The center area over the Doan Brook culvert would be secluded by temporary dike walls along each side. A maximum fill elevation of 19 feet above low water datum would be maintained over the lakeward end of the culvert, with a nominal upward gradient landward to provide positive drainage of the area. A weir would be built at the dike wall by cutting off the existing sheet pile elevation at 19.5 feet above low water datum. The estimated cost of the project is $1.39 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 2.13. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the capacity of the diked disposal facility would ensure an environmentally appropriate receptacle for contaminated material dredged from federal and nonfederal channels within Cleveland Harbor. Disposal availability would allow continued use of harbor channels, sustaining the local and regional economy. Maintenance dredging would reduce sediment loadings from the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future dredging of harbor channels would result in resuspension of pollutants, turbidity, and temporary aesthetic impacts due to reduced water clarity. Dredging would also damage and, in some cases, destroy aquatic organisms. Construction and dredging operations would result in significant adverse noise emissions. Expansion of the diked facility would delay plans to transform the facility into a city park.

Preparation date: September 7, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BARNEY RESERVOIR EXPANSION, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 15223904; 4296 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion on the Barney Reservoir, an existing 200-acre reservoir on the Middle Fork North Fork Trask River in the Oregon Coast Range, is proposed. The reservoir serves as the municipal water supply for the cities of Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Beaverton, and several smaller communities in service areas of the Joint Water Commission and Tualatin Valley Water District. The reservoir is located in southwest Washington County, approximately 36 miles southwest of Portland and 13 miles west of Yamhill, Oregon. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed project would raise the existing 72-foot earthfill Trask Dam by 50 feet to increase the water storage capacity of Barney Reservoir from 4,000 to 20,000 acre-feet. The dam would be built of rockfill with an earthfill core. After the dam is raised, the maximum reservoir pool would increase from 200 to 450 acres. Project construction would include the establishment of borrow areas; the relocation of North Fork Trask Road; the construction of temporary access roads; the establishment of temporary and permanent materials stockpiling and storage areas; and the development of construction staging areas, a rock processing plant, settling ponds, sediment control structures, and laydown areas. The project would include a logging plan to selectively log up to 320 acres of timber around the reservoir's perimeter and at other impact areas. The logging would salvage the economic value of the wood products, improve the reservoir holding capacity, and provide water quality protection. The logging plan would require the construction of temporary roads, the leaving of some trees for habitat purposes, the removal of vegetation, and controlled burning activities. Construction of the dam and related facilities would take place over two years. The other action alternative would replace the earthfill core with a facing consisting of roller-compacted concrete on the upstream side of the rockfill. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide needed water supplies to meet increasing demands in the fastest growing county in Oregon. Fish habitat in the reservoir would more than double because of the increase in surface area. Expansion of the reservoir would provide more flexible flow releases to the Trask River over time and increase summer flow releases in the Tualatin River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The construction and operation of the dam would alter site topography, induce erosion, and result in the loss of 50 acres of wetlands, 8 acres of shallow-water habitat, and up to 366 acres of wildlife habitat. This loss of habitat would adversely affect elk, mallards, song sparrows, yellow warblers, and Nelson's checkermallows, a threatened plant.

AN - 36410629; 4276 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 17-mile highway extending from Interstate 70 (I-70) in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Route 51 in Jefferson Borough, Allegheny County, is proposed. The proposed project is one of four segments of the Mon-Fayette Transportation Project, which is designed to provide highway improvements between Pittsburgh and Morgantown, West Virginia. The facility would be a multilane, limited-access toll highway with interchanges at four locations. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this supplement to the draft EIS of March 1993. The preferred alternative (New Alignment Alternative) in the draft EIS would be built along a new alignment and would have four 12-foot-wide lanes with a 60-foot-wide grass median. Two alternative alignments, the Orange and the Brown, were considered in the draft EIS. Both alignments generally follow the course of the Monongahela River, which is located one to two miles to the east. In the first section, the first toll interchange north of I-70 for both alignments would be located east of Ghennes Height, and would provide local access to Coyle Curtain Road. In the second section, the Orange alignment would have a toll interchange east of wetland NOJ, which would provide local access to Route 136; the Brown alignment interchange would be located along Route 136 east of Ringgold High School and Calvary Cemetery. In the third section, both alignments would have toll interchanges at Finleyville Elrama Road, located several hundred feet apart. In the final section, both alignments would terminate at Route 51 with toll interchanges approximately 0.4 miles apart. This draft supplement considers a new alignment, the Green alignment, which would generally follow the Brown alignment throughout most of its proposed length, then diverges to the east near the residential area known as Scenery Hill. It would then follow an alignment to the east of Peters Creek and the Norfolk and Western Railroad until connecting with Route 51. This draft supplement also considers the effects of upgrading Route 51 for two miles between Lewis Run Road and Millers Grove-Clairton Road. Total estimated construction costs are $376 million for the Brown alternative, $377 million for the Orange alternative, $371 million for a combination of the two alternatives, and $376 million for the Green alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed construction would improve travel time, access, and safety for motorists in the mid-Mon Valley, and would reduce congestion on existing north-south highways, which have poor alignments, steep grades, and inadequate sight distances. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 20 businesses, 131 residences, 4.04 acres of wetlands, 327 acres of productive farmland, and up to 3,778 habitat units. In addition, two historic properties in the project area could be adversely affected.

Preparation date: September 3, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DESIGNATION OF A DEEP WATER DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE OFF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406272; 4291 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of a permanent ocean disposal site for sediments dredged from San Francisco Bay is proposed. Presently no ocean disposal site is available to accept this dredged material. An estimated six million cubic yards (cy) of material would be disposed of at the designated site each year for a 50-year period beginning in 1994. The total projected dredging volume over the 50-year period is 400.3 million cubic yards of sediment. All dredged material would be tested to ensure its suitability for ocean disposal. Three alternative sites are considered in this final EIS as potential disposal sites. All are located in the Pacific Ocean on the continental slope and rise off San Francisco; all are uniform in size, having an oval shape approximately 3.7 nautical miles (nmi) long and 2.2 nmi wide. The site boundaries were established to conform with the model-predicted deposit thickness of ten centimeters, which is the threshold above which impacts are expected to be significant (such as the smothering of bottom-dwelling organisms). Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5), the site would be located on the continental rise, where ocean depths range from 2,500 meters to 3,000 meters, approximately 49 nmi from the coast and 50 nmi from the Golden Gate Bridge. The Army Corps of Engineers expects that the disposal site would be used throughout the year, except when wave heights exceed three meters and wave periods are nine seconds or less (approximately 10 percent of the time, typically from February through May). However, seasonal restrictions on dredging activities imposed by biological events such as migration, spawning, and nesting activities would also affect use of the disposal site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of a sediment-disposal site would allow for the maintenance dredging of channels and expansion of dock facilities, which are necessary to sustain economic growth and the strategic use of ports in San Francisco Bay. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Continued use of the site would result in the smothering of some benthic organisms and prevent the reestablishment of the benthic community in any areas where the deposit levels are ten centimeters or more. Under the preferred alternative, the site would be located in the vicinity of former disposal sites for chemical and radioactive wastes; it is considered unlikely, however, that the dredged materials would interact with these wastes. In fact, the deposition could bury and further isolate these wastes. Barge transit could interfere with access to the Farrallon Islands and Cordell Banks, an area popular with wildlife and naturalist groups.

This report includes a uniform procedure to describe the current condition of sector gate structures. The entire inspection and rating process is based on a field inspection of the sector gate structure. During this inspection, current physical attributes of Ate systems are obtained. Pertinent data (gate location, inspection and maintenance histories, and historical water level) are recorded on an inspection form. The form also includes space for entering field measurements (anchorage movements, elevation changes, gate deflection, cracks, dents, and corrosion), which are used directly to rate the condition of the gate. This information is used to calculate a condition index (CI), or numerical measure from 0 to 100, of the structure's current state. The index is meant to focus management attention on those structures most nicely to warrant immediate repair or further evaluation, and can be used to monitor change in the general condition over time and to serve as an approximate comparison of the condition of different structures.

AN - 36412305; 4187 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Forest Development Road Number 30, which closely parallels the Salmon River in the Salmon National Forest in east-central Idaho, is proposed. The affected road, also known as the Salmon River Road, extends for 46 miles from the town of North Fork west to the Corn Creek campground and boating site. In 1980 Congress designated the Salmon River as a wild and scenic river, and the 46-mile segment within the proposed project area was classified as a recreational river. The Salmon River Road provides launch access and removal points for float-boaters using the Salmon River, and the only feasible access to private lands and numerous side drainages where other resource activities occur. The road is paved with an asphalt surface for approximately 16.8 miles and has a gravel surface for the remainder. Five alternatives (a No Action Alternative designated Alternative A, action alternatives designated B through D, and the preferred alternative, which is not otherwise designated) are considered in this final EIS. All of the action alternatives would involve improving eight existing recreation sites and developing up to eight new sites. Alternative B would involve a high level of roadway improvements, including paving approximately 29 miles of roadway, widening the roadway through the construction of retaining walls and some minor realignment, and installing guardrails. Alternative C would involve a moderate level of roadway improvements, including paving 9.8 miles of existing gravel road and applying crushed gravel to 19.8 miles of existing gravel road and spot paving through approximately 2.7 miles of residential, commercial, and recreation areas. Alternative D would involve a low level of roadway improvements, including paving 3.1 miles of existing gravel road and applying additional crushed gravel to the remaining 26 miles of gravel roadway; no spot paving would take place under this alternative below Pine Creek. The preferred alternative is a variation of Alternative D under which approximately 11,600 feet of spot paving would occur in residential and commercial areas. The estimated construction costs range from $2.2 million for Alternative D to $6.8 million for Alternative B. Recreation site developments would cost $1.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would facilitate safe travel along the Salmon River Road and enhance the quality of recreational experiences associated with the Salmon River. The improvements would be in compliance with the forest plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The estimated loss of wildlife habitat from the improvements beyond the road prism would range from 0.3 to 9.8 acres. Recreation site improvement and development, as well as the development of borrow sites, could disturb an additional 28 acres and 13.5 acres, respectively. The proposed retaining wall associated with Alternative B would encroach upon 2,300 feet of the floodplain, in contrast to that of Alternative C, which would encroach upon 200 feet of the floodplain. Increased turbidity and sedimentation would adversely affect fisheries under all of the action alternatives; among the species adversely affected would be two protected species, the sockeye salmon and chinook salmon. Some ponderosa pine would be lost under all of the action alternatives; they would also adversely affect the unique visual quality of the road and river corridor. Numerous archaeological sites and cultural resources near the road would also be adversely affected by the proposed improvements.

Preparation date: August 27, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STELLWAGEN BANK NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY MANAGEMENT PLAN, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 15223246; 4213 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of the Stellwagen Bank and surrounding waters offshore of Provincetown, Massachusetts, as a national marine sanctuary is proposed. The sanctuary would consist of federal waters within a 453-square-nautical-mile area, extending 19 miles with a breadth of six miles at its widest point and lying approximately 3.5 miles northwest of Provincetown. The Stellwagen Bank is located in the extreme southwestern Gulf of Maine, which is formed by the bight of the northwest Atlantic coastline between Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. Between Cape Ann and Cape Cod, in the southwest corner of the gulf, is Massachusetts Bay, 75 percent enclosed by land. The bay's most prominent submarine feature is Stellwagen Bank, which lies at the bay's eastern edge and partially blocks its mouth. The bank is a shallow, glacially deposited, primarily sandy-submerged feature, measuring nearly 20 miles in length. Water depths around the bank range from 65 feet to more than 300 feet. The resource protection plan for the sanctuary would involve cooperation with other agencies and organizations in formulating policies and procedures, including those related to enforcement of regulations affecting uses of the bank's resources. Sanctuary regulations would prohibit the following within the sanctuary: (1) the discharge or disposal of materials or substances from within the sanctuary boundary; (2) the discharge or disposal of materials or substances from outside the sanctuary boundary that subsequently enter the sanctuary and injure a sanctuary resource or quality; (3) the exploration for, development of, or production of industrial materials (e.g., sand and gravel); (4) the construction, placement, or abandonment on a seabed of any structure or material (e.g. pipelines or cables), or any alteration of the seabed; (5) the removal or alteration of or damage to (as well as attempt to cause the removal or alteration of or damage to) any historical or cultural resource; (6) the taking of any marine reptile, marine mammal, or seabird, except as permitted by the Marine Mammal Protection Act; (7) the at-sea ship-to-ship transfer of petroleum products (lightering); (8) the possession within the sanctuary of any historical or wildlife resource taken in violation of the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, or Migratory Bird Treaty Act; and (9) the interference with any investigation pursuant to regulatory enforcement. Additionally, certain activities not currently proposed for regulation would be identified in the designation document as subject to sanctuary regulations if, following designation, the need to regulate was demonstrated as necessary for the protection of the sanctuary resources and qualities. Research associated with the designation would include baseline studies, monitoring, and analysis and prediction projects to provide information needed to resolve management issues. Interpretive/educational programs would be directed at improving public awareness of the sanctuary's resources and the need to manage them wisely to ensure their continued viability and abundance. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Preservation of Stellwagen Bank as a national marine sanctuary would provide for a long-term integrated program of resource protection, research, and interpretation/education to assure comprehensive management and protection of the Stellwagen Bank system. Socioeconomic benefits could result from increased awareness of the Stellwagen Bank's ecological value and visitation by the public. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE.

Preparation date: August 27, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REVIEW OF PRADO DAM OPERATION FOR WATER CONSERVATION, PRADO DAM AND RESERVOIR, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36389238; 4210 AB - PURPOSE: The alteration of the management plan for the Prado Dam in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, California, is proposed to allow the dam to operate as a water conservation and storage facility. 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 proposed project would allow 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 for conservation pool maximum elevations are considered in this final EIS as well as the present operational regime. The present operational plan results in the delivery of approximately 212,900 af of water annually to the vicinity of the spreading grounds in the Santa Ana River, based on inflows adjusted to 1988 conditions. Of that amount, approximately 171,700 af per year are available for diversion, based on a 450 cubic-foot-per-second spreading ground infiltration rate. The percentage of conservable water is approximately 81 percent. This conservation water plan is being implemented with the 490-foot debris pool. The three alternatives would provide for a conservation pool at 495 feet, 500 feet, or 505 feet. Additional conservable water increases arithmetically with increases in elevation of the seasonal pool. The respective increases in conservable water for crest elevations of 495, 500, and 505 feet are 1,456 af, 3,179 af, and 4,634 af, based on 1988 conditions. Under the preferred alternative, a seasonal water conservation pool would be expanded to 505 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing the same level of flood control provided historically by the Prado Dam, increasing the conservation pool elevation and associated releases would result in water savings and improvements in the availability and quality of water resulting from project regulation and operation. Balanced resource use through improved regulation would ensure the conservation of as much water as possible and maximization of all project functions consistent with project management. The plan would also increase marsh and open water habitat at the reservoir, the riparian habitat on the fringe of the inundation area, and recreational opportunities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would adversely affect biological resources, 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, would be inundated by the elevation of the water in the conservation pool.

AN - 36398325; 4155 AB - PURPOSE: The approval of reclamation plans for six aggregate mining sites on the Russian River between river mile 25, just north of the city of Healdsburg, and river mile 34, just east of Healdsburg, in Sonoma County, California, is proposed. Syar Industries, the project applicant, retains vested rights to extract minerals at five of the sites without obtaining state or county approval. No vested rights apply to the sixth site, located within Healdsburg; all sites require that the applicant prepare a plan specifying the reclamation measures that would be implemented after mining was completed. Significant issues concerning this project include the effects of mining activities on stream channel morphology, groundwater, agriculture, water quality and fish resources, aesthetic and recreational qualities, and riparian vegetation. Five alternatives, including a No-Project Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed alternative is identical to the reclamation plans submitted by the applicant. Gravel bar skimming would occur at every site but the Doyle site, where terrace mining would occur. At the Middle Reach site, the river would be diverted temporarily to allow the excavation of the channel and the creation of a system of pools and riffles. Stream crossings would be built to allow truck access to the gravel bars. Five spurs would be built at the Healdsburg Bendway site in order to minimize erosion. The three other action alternatives would impose restrictions of gravel bar skimming operations or on the number of sites mined. Because of the significant adverse environmental impacts involved, the preferred alternative is the No-Project Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide an affordable source of high quality sand and gravel for the construction of roads, canals, dams, homes, and commercial structures; a local source of mineral aggregate is considered essential to keeping it affordable because its cost is largely determined by transportation costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project operations would create slope instability that could result in unsafe conditions during or after a seismic event. Stream degradation (bed lowering) would occur at a project site, upstream or downstream, if mining operations were to extract more gravel from the river than is annually replenished. Lowering of the groundwater tables in the aquifers that are hydraulically linked to the river would result, along with reductions in the productivity or water quality of municipal or private wells, reductions in riparian vegetation, increases in bank erosion and channel instability, reductions in the structural stability of bridges, and degradation of fishery resources. Additional adverse impacts would include the reduced survival of juvenile salmonids and aquatic invertebrates, the increased vulnerability of tule perch and outmigrating anadromous fish to predation, adversely altered views of the project area, changes in the recreational value of the river, and reductions in property values on adjacent lands.

Preparation date: August 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IMPROVEMENTS TO SOUTH LOCUST STREET, GRAND ISLAND, HALL COUNTY, NEBRASKA. AN - 36410267; 4192 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of South Locust Street in the vicinity of Grand Island, Nebraska, is proposed. The proposed action would provide a new interchange with Interstate 80 (I-80), which would be located approximately seven miles from City Hall; the two existing interchanges are located nine and 11 miles from City Hall. The proposed project would begin 0.5 miles south of I-80 and continue north approximately 5.5 miles to a point 1,200 feet north of US 34. South Locust Street would be upgraded from a two-lane rural section to a four-lane, limited-access roadway; within the city limits of Grand Island, a fifth lane would be added. Three or four bridges crossing the Platte River would be widened as would the I-80 overpass. The existing alignment would also be widened and new northbound lanes would be built, thereby minimizing rights-of-way requirements and significant adverse impacts. The preferred interchange design would be a diamond with loop and three-lane overpass. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is a No Action Alternative. The project would be built in phases and reach completion in the year 2007; estimated project costs range from $19.0 million to $23.7 million, depending on the type of interchange and overpass built at I-80. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project, which would provide a more direct access to the central business district and a vital link between the Grand Island business community and the regional and national markets, would stimulate the local economy by generating more visitor traffic, new businesses, new jobs, and an increased tax base for both the city and the county. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative, using the existing alignment and the diamond interchange with the loop design, would require 129.8 acres for rights-of-way and 175.4 acres of additional takings. Some 58 acres of prime farmland and 7.2 acres of wetlands would be displaced. Two residences would experience noise levels in excess of federal standards, and seven irrigation wells would require relocation. Approximately 326 trees would be removed.

AN - 36408304; 4197 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, limited-access toll highway from I-68 in Morgantown, West Virginia, to Route 6119 in Fairchance in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is proposed. The 12-mile project is part of the Mon/Fayette Transportation Improvements program designed to upgrade the highway system linking Pittsburgh and Morgantown and thereby support local and regional economic redevelopment. In addition to a No Action Alternative, two build alternatives, designated the Red and Blue Alternatives, are considered in this draft EIS; both build alternatives would involve the construction of a four-lane highway along a new alignment. Each of the build alternatives has an optional alignment. They all would be built on a common alignment in both the southern and northern sections of the study area. In the southern section, the Red and Blue Alternatives would be built on a common optional alignment that was developed in order to minimize impacts to historic properties. The primary variance between the Red and Blue Alternatives would take place in the middle section of the study area, in which the Red Alternative would follow an alignment west of Route 857 in the valley's farmland, while the Blue Alternative would be on Chestnut Ridge east of Route 857. The fundamental difference between the alternatives is illustrated by this middle section, where the Red Alternative would primarily affect farm operations and the Blue Alternative would primarily affect natural resources. Because of its proximity to Route 119, the Red Alternative would draw more traffic from Route 119 and would better serve the capacity and safety needs of the project. The Red Alternative R2 has tentatively been identified as the preferred alternative. Estimated construction costs are $182.6 million for Red Alternative R1, and $180.9 million for Red Alternative R2, the optional alignment. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would relieve capacity problems, improve traffic safety along existing Routes 857 and 119, and create the transportation infrastructure needed to support economic development in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the Red Alternative R1 and Red Alternative R2 would displace 23 residences and three businesses, and would adversely affect seven to ten historic properties, approximately 180 acres of productive farmland, and 24 acres of wetlands, and 1,671 to 1,812 wildlife habitat units.

AN - 36414680; 4186 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane, fully-controlled access highway from the existing terminus of Maryland Route 301 at the Delaware /Maryland state line west of Middleton to Interstate 95 (I-95) near Newark, Delaware, is proposed. The project area extends for 16 to 20 miles through the central and western portions of New Castle County. The project would provide improved north-south access between I-95 and existing Route 301; it is projected that all segments of the existing route through the project corridor would be operating at unacceptable levels of service by the year 2010, largely as the result of an anticipated population increase of 68 percent in the area. A No Action Alternative; the Multi-Modal Alternative, which would emphasize mass transit, bicycling, and walking; the Transportation Demand Management Alternative, which would emphasize carpooling, park and ride lots, high-occupancy-vehicle lanes, and staggered work shifts, to name a few; and numerous build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives, which would connect with Maryland Route 301 at the state line and with I-95, would cross the C&D Canal at the existing Summit Bridge in order to minimize impacts to a nearby wildlife refuge, a state park, and a wetlands area. Only one build alternative in the project area north of the canal, the North Reconstruction (NRE) Alternative, is given detailed study in this draft EIS. Under this alternative, a new Route 301 would be built along the current right-of-way along Route 896, a distance of 6.7 miles. The current right-of-way along Route 896 is of sufficient width to accommodate a new Route 301 between the canal and Route 40; from Route 40 to I-95, additional right-of-way would be required. Four I-95 interchange locations and two interchange designs are under consideration. The estimated cost of the NRE is $94 million. Three build alternatives are under consideration south of the canal, each approximately ten miles long. The South Reconstruction Alternative would resemble the NRE Alternative in that it would follow the existing Route 896 alignment; the other two alternatives would be developed along new alignments. The estimated cost of the southern build alternatives range from $68.6 million to $103.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would relieve capacity problems and improve traffic safety along existing Route 896, and would create the transportation infrastructure necessary to support economic development in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under the NRE Alternative would displace 33 residences and five businesses, and would adversely affect 30.3 acres of wetlands, public parkland at Iron Hill Park, 29 historic buildings, two historic districts, and 28 known archaeological sites. In the southern portion of the corridor, the South Reconstruction Alternative would displace 22 homes and 24 businesses, and would adversely affect 38 historic buildings, 36 potential archaeological sites, and 46.1 acres of wetlands. The South Ridge Alternative would also adversely affect 27 farms. All build alternatives would increase noise levels at selected locations.

AN - 36410785; 4220 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a long-term plan for channel maintenance is proposed for the federal harbor in the East Channel of the Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In addition, Prairie Sand and Gravel, Inc., has applied for a permit to upgrade and expand an existing barge transloading facility on the north end of St. Feriole Island, and an adjacent area on the mainland known as the Swingle site. In the past, approximately 230 loaded barges left the existing facility each year. If the proposed expansion is approved, the applicant estimates that within a couple of years up to 500 barges could be handled at the facility each year. The proposed channel maintenance plan would provide a 100-foot-wide navigation channel between the northern end of the East Channel and the federal harbor at City Dock. In order to maintain the channel, the Corps of Engineers has proposed two dredge cuts. Cut 1 would involve dredging 2,500 cubic yards from the north end of the East Channel. Cut 2 would involve dredging immediately in front of City Dock; however, this operation would be deferred as a result of objections filed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives differ primarily in regard to the levels of barge traffic and maintenance dredging allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed actions would facilitate navigation in the East Hannel of the Mississippi River, and, as a result, the movement of grain and other commodities down the river. Facility expansion would stimulate the regional economy and increase incomes of Wisconsin farmers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased navigation and channel maintenance activities in the area would adversely affect aquatic resources, fish, and freshwater mussels, including the endangered Higgins' eye pearly mussel (L. higginsi). Dredging would also destroy or disturb habitat and benthic organisms. Archaeological sites on the Prairie du Chien terrace, such as those around the proposed harbor at the Swingle site, would probably be adversely affected by any further development in the area. Any increase in the size and scope of the barge maneuvering and staging areas would detract from the view of the river from the Iowa side.

AN - 15221743; 4217 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of Wilmington Harbor in New Hanover and Brunswick counties, North Carolina, is proposed. Wilmington Harbor is a federal navigation project located along the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear rivers in southeastern North Carolina. The project area extends approximately 31 miles upriver from the Atlantic Ocean to the Port of Wilmington. The existing harbor channel, which is 400 feet wide and 28 feet deep, is generally satisfactory for one-way traffic; however, delays often occur because no passing lane exists and today's deep-draft vessels exceed the design criteria of the channel. In addition, river pilots have identified five turns and bends where maneuvering problems occur and improvements are needed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The selected plan would involve widening the existing navigation channel to 600 feet over a 6.2-mile reach of Wilmington Harbor. In addition, the five difficult turns would be widened by 150 to 200 feet each. The additional width of the passing lanes and the improved turns would be dredged to the existing channel depth of 38 feet, with one foot of required overdepth and one foot of allowable overdepth also being dredged (for a total depth of 40 feet). The turn improvements would be made by using a pipeline dredge, which involves dredging with a cutterhead and pumping the dredged material to a diked disposal area. Bucket and barge dredging would be used to build and maintain the passing lane. The material dredged from the passing lane would be disposed of at the designated offshore disposal site located three nautical miles south of the mouth of Cape Fear River. Approximately 4.08 million cubic yards of material would be dredged from the passing lanes and the turns. Maintenance dredging would be conducted at intervals of two to four years. Total estimated construction costs are $18.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel widening would allow for the passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays and the operating costs of shippers. The modification of the harbor would make it more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for the area. The benefit-cost ratio of the project is 1.5. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse environmental impacts would include the conversion of estuarine bottom to channel, temporary increases in turbidity, and possible adverse impacts to the shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species, as a result of the blasting necessary for rock removal. Blasting techniques and timing would be designed to minimize the possibility that impacts to the shortnose sturgeon and to other fishery resources would occur. The grading and diking process would result in the loss of 6.3 acres of high marsh and 0.5 acres of intertidal marsh, although these losses would be offset by the creation of new wetlands.

AN - 15232575; 4188 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the Interstate 90 (I-90)/I-93 freeway system from its current terminus in Boston, Massachusetts, is proposed. The project, which would be known as the Central Artery (I-93)/Third Harbor Tunnel (I-90), would be located entirely in the city of Boston in Suffolk County. This draft supplement to the final EIS of August 1985 considers that portion of the project area north of the Causeway Street subarea and describes three new design alternatives for the Charles River crossing. The purpose in considering the new alternatives is to reduce the visual and environmental impacts associated with Scheme Z, the proposed action described in a 1991 final supplement. Scheme Z would include three bridge structures: two main cable-stayed bridges with towers on both sides of the river, and a double-deck bridge differing in type and profile from the main bridges. The cable-stayed bridges, each with five lanes in one direction, would accommodate the I-93 main line, while the double-deck bridge (three lanes over three) would accommodate traffic movements to and from Leverett Circle/Storrow Drive, for a total of 16 lanes over the river. Alternative 8.1D Modified 5 would include a ten-lane, cable-stayed main-line bridge with a single twin-leg tower on the north side of the river, a single loop ramp in East Cambridge, a three-lane northbound tunnel under the river, and land tunnels under East Cambridge, the North Station commuter railroad tracks, and the Register of Motor Vehicles building. Over 10,000 linear feet (lf) of structure would consist of tunnel, which represents the greatest length of tunnel structure of any of the three alternatives. The Reduced River-Tunnel Alternative would involve the construction of 6,150 lf of tunnel and a 12-lane main-line bridge supported by two towers, one on each side of the river. The bridge would provide four northbound and four southbound lanes; two lanes on the western side of the main line, carrying I-93/Route 1 southbound traffic to Leverett Circle/Storrow Drive; and two lanes on the eastern side of the main line, carrying traffic from downtown and the Sumner Tunnel to I-93 northbound. The Non-River-Tunnel Alternative would provide 3,300 lf of tunnel in the North Station area; a ten-lane, cable-stayed main-line bridge with a tower on either side of the river; and a four-lane bridge, with the same profile as the main-line structure, that would carry traffic to and from Storrow Drive/Leverett Circle. Tunnel footage would be reduced through the construction of a viaduct to carry Storrow Drive-to-Tobin Bridge traffic. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Central Artery/Tunnel Project would have beneficial impacts in central Boston and its immediate surroundings. The capacity of I-93 would increase substantially, and, together with the extension of I-90, the freeway would relieve congestion on local streets and on the freeway system. Access to downtown Boston and Logan Airport would improve significantly, and air quality would improve as well. Economic benefits for the state, the New England County Metropolitan Area, Suffolk County, and the immediate study area would be substantial. Compared to Scheme Z, the three design alternatives for the Charles River crossing would improve traffic flow and the level of service. The three alternatives would each eliminate the need for the double crossing of the Charles River and would each include a new northbound on-ramp in the upper downtown area (at New Sudbury Street). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some encroachment of parkland would take place under Scheme Z. All three design alternatives would require the acquisition of a hospital and a steam generating plant, two properties that would be unaffected by Scheme Z. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at some locations under all four plans, and all four would require the filling of 1.1 acres of wetlands in the Millers River area. Under the three design alternatives, the historic Registry of Motor Vehicles building would need to be underpinned to prevent any long-term impacts. Under Scheme Z, the size and prominence of the bridge structures would have a noticeable impact on the visual environment for motorists and pedestrians.

Two alternatives are considered in this draft EIS: the No Action Alternative, and the designation of an ODMDS site that would be managed in accordance with an approved site management and monitoring plan. The Fort Pierce Harbor ODMDS has already been designated as an interim disposal site, and the area has been used as a disposal site since 1949. The ODMDS is located approximately 4.5 nautical miles east of the Fort Pierce Inlet in water depths ranging from 40 to 54 feet. Approximately 30,300 cubic yards (cy) of material have been dredged annually from Fort Pierce Harbor, with about 21,000 cy of this material being disposed of in the interim ODMDS. Because the use of suitable dredged material for beach disposal is the preferred disposal alternative for all dredging projects, the placement of beach-quality material in the Fort Pierce Harbor ODMDS would be subject to agreement between the state of Florida and the Army Corps of Engineers as described in the dredged material disposal plan. The estimated beach fill capacity of the 2,000-foot beach disposal areas currently being used is 220,000 cy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Limited upland disposal sites in the Fort Pierce area and the continued need to dredge the harbor justify the need for an offshore disposal site. Use of the interim ODMDS to date has produced no apparent adverse impact on resources in the vicinity, and it satisfies the general criteria and 11 specific criteria listed in the Ocean Dumping Regulations. The interim site's location would minimize dredged material transport costs for harbor dredging sites. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of the proposed site would produce water quality disturbances (turbidity plumes, the release of chemicals, and the lowering of dissolved oxygen concentrations); smother the site's benthic biota; change the site's bathymetry; and alter the site's sediment composition. Most adverse effects would be local and short-term, with water quality and biota recovering shortly after disposal activities ceased.

AN - 36397836; 4215 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of sediment and flood control measures are proposed for the Abiaca Creek watershed (ACW) in portions of Carroll, Holmes, and Leflore counties in the Yazoo Basin in northwest Mississippi. Abiaca Creek originates in the loess hills southeast of Greenwood, and flows westward into the delta region of the state before joining the Yazoo River. Two alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would include 10.6 miles of new levee construction, an overflow weir in Abiaca Creek near Highway 49, and three floodwater retarding structures on tributaries within the upper reaches of the ACW. The complete project plans for the ACW also include 19 additional floodwater retarding structures, two low-drop grade control structures, 125 riser pipe grade control structures, 155 debris basins, 9,600 linear feet of bank stabilization, and $450,500 in land treatment measures such as reforestation, revegetation, and terracing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Currently, the ACW has problems with channel instability, and with related channel degradation and bank, gully, and overland flow erosion. The proposed control measures would alleviate the erosion of channel beds and banks, the high sediment loads that are deposited in the downstream reach of Abiaca Creek, the reduced channel conveyance capacity, the increased flooding on agricultural lands, and the deposition of large quantities of sediment into Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge. In addition, the project would provide for ten-year-frequency flood protection to adjacent properties while simultaneously providing for 50 years of sediment deposition. Additional benefits would include the revegetation of construction areas and levees with plant species of greater economic and wildlife value than existing vegetation, and the establishment of approximately 82 acres of aquatic habitat in the hills to improve fishery resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way clearing and construction phases would negatively impact 14 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat, 133 acres of agricultural land, 55 acres of riparian/upland hardwood habitat, and 27 acres of pastureland.

Preparation date: July 22, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIVER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR THE RIO GRANDE--VELARDE TO CABALLO DAM, RIO GRANDE AND MIDDLE RIO GRANDE PROJECTS, NEW MEXICO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1977). AN - 36398087; 4216 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the river maintenance program on the Rio Grande, which involves transporting water and sediment to Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico, is proposed. The modification would allow the maintenance program to reflect current engineering methodologies and environmental values that, while providing for long-term river management, would also protect the inherent environmental resources and project features associated with the Rio Grande and its floodway in New Mexico. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 1977 analyzes the impacts of the Bureau of Reclamation's preferred-action river maintenance programs in ten morphologically discrete reaches of the Rio Grande over a 286-mile stretch of the river. The following preferred action alternatives are addressed in the final supplement: (1) bank stabilization measures, including revetments (rock riprap, gabions, windrows, stabilized soil, manufactured revetment units, cellular confinement systems, and permeable jetty jacks), curve reshaping, and plantings to stabilize riverbanks; (2) river training works for influencing flow alignment and controlling and managing overbank flow (groins, training dikes, freeboard dikes, pilot channels, and vanes); (3) sediment removal to maintain flow capacity (arroyo plug removal, island and bar removal, and dredging); (4) vegetation control to increase the floodway capacity in order to pass high flows (mowing, root plowing, and spraying); (5) snag removal to prevent the obstruction and/or deflection of river flows; and (6) levee maintenance in the Socorro, Bosque del Apache, San Marcial, and Elephant Butte reaches. Although an interstate river compact and two legislative mandates preclude a No Action Alternative, a No Additional Federal Action Alternative is also discussed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed modifications, riverbank stabilization would prevent further erosion and undercut banks. River training utilized in the Velarde, Espanola, Socorro, and San Marcial reaches would realign river flow alignment and inhibit overbank flows. Sediment removal would restore flow capacity to the channel. Levee maintenance would reduce the risk of flooding in areas susceptible to breaching or in areas that need reinforcement; the levees, in many instances, are also used for access to the river for maintenance purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Riverbank stabilization would initially disturb riverbank vegetation. The initial construction of both groins and dikes would smother sessile aquatic organisms. The removal of snags from the river channel would eliminate perching sites for numerous avian species, existing or potential sites for invertebrate attachment, and a certain amount of aquatic cover for existing fisheries. The project could also disturb wintering bald eagles in some locations. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1948, and Flood Control Act of 1950.

Preparation date: July 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JACKSON HOLE [WYOMING] FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT: QUARRY/PROJECT ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1990). AN - 36412624; 4221 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the flood control levees protecting Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is proposed. The study area includes both the federal and nonfederal levees on the banks of the Upper Snake River and the lower reach of the Gros Ventre River. All levees along a 25-mile stretch of the Snake River from Grand Teton National Park to the South Park Bridge, and three nonfederal levees located on the lower reach of the Gros Ventre River, are maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. This draft supplement to the final EIS of 1990 addresses the environmental effects of the proposed improvements, which consist of developing a new quarry to supply riprap for the levees, or developing suitable alternative sources of levee protection, and upgrading road access to the levee for project operations and maintenance. The quarry would provide a reliable, long-term source of material for armoring the riverward slopes of the levees. The access improvements would involve the replacement of two bridges, the upgrading of several existing access roads, and the construction of roads, to provide better heavy-vehicle access to the levees for operations and maintenance. Three groups of alternatives are considered in the draft supplement: a No Action Alternative, alternatives for the development of quarry sites or nonrock sources of riprap, and alternatives for access upgrade improvements. Three alternative quarry sites are evaluated: the Curtis Canyon, Flat Creek Talus, and Phillips Ridge sites. Five alternative nonrock riprap sources are considered: two manufactured alternatives (conventional concrete riprap and roller-compacted concrete riprap) and three in-place armoring alternatives (roller-compacted concrete, conventional concrete, and shotcrete). Fourteen locations for access improvements are considered: six locations for the construction of ten new emergency access road segments, and eight locations in which 13 existing road segments would be improved. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Because the present quarries at the confluence of the Snake and Gros Ventre rivers are no longer capable of supplying rock of sufficient quantity and quality, a new quarry is required. Currently, access to the levee system for project operations and maintenance is inadequate, as access points from public roads are limited and the existing road cannot support heavy equipment. As a result, routine and emergency project operations are threatened. The proposed access improvements would eliminate these problems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative site selected, development of a new quarry could disrupt elk habitat, camping, and visual resources on popular travel routes; in addition, quarry operations at all three potential sites would conflict with established national forest land uses and would require an amendment to the Bridger-Teton National Forest Plan. The nonrock alternatives would be less natural in appearance than rock riprap, and the smoother channel provided by the in-place armoring methods would increase river velocities and thus contribute to erosion downstream. The in-place armoring would also generally supply less near-shore fish habitat. Construction of the new access routes would require ground disturbance and vegetation removal, and upgrading the existing routes would involve disruption of nearby roads, but these effects would be temporary.

AN - 36414754; 4214 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control projects in the remaining unconstructed segment of the Upper Yazoo Projects (UYP) area of the Yazoo Basin in Mississippi are being reformulated. The UYP study area encompasses 2,300 square miles of drainage in Carroll, Coahoma, Grenada, Leflore, Holmes, Humphreys, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tunica, and Yazoo counties. Seven alternatives for completion of UYP construction, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft supplemental EIS. The recommended plan (Alternative 5, NED Plan) would include 130.3 miles of channel enlargement on the Yazoo-Tallahatchie-Coldwater river system from Mayday to Darling. The channel would have a maximum width of 150 feet below Greenwood, and would taper to 75 feet at its upper end. Some 47 water control structures, 52 confined disposal facilities, and a grade control structure on Tillatoba Creek and Panola-Quitman Floodway would be built. Some 12 water control structures and 48 confined disposal facilities would be modified and operated to reduce adverse impacts to waterfowl. To compensate fully for remaining losses from completed and proposed construction, approximately 16,250 acres of frequently flooded agricultural land would be acquired in fee title and reforested, 750 acres of moist soil management areas would be developed, and excess waterfowl benefits from the Upper Steele Bayou Project would be credited. The estimated cost of the recommended plan, including mitigation, is about $1.77 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.4. Construction would be completed in the year 2000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flooding in the UYP area is significant: 22 towns and cities and approximately 679,000 acres of farmland are subject to flooding; damages total over $18 million annually. The recommended plan would afford substantial flood protection through the improvement of channel conveyance to 150 percent of current capacity and the construction of flood control structures, and would fully compensate for all unavoidable losses concurrently with project construction. Features of the recommended plan would reduce levee maintenance requirements and sediment inflow while providing improved habitat for fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the structural alternatives would cause significant adverse impacts to terrestrial, wetland, waterfowl, and aquatic resources; such impacts have already occurred from similar projects in the study area. Under the recommended plan, 656 acres of bottomland hardwoods and 1,803 acres of farmed wetlands would be destroyed. The reduction in flooding would result in the loss of 21,527 acres of waterfowl foraging habitat.

Preparation date: July 14, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOUISIANA COASTAL WETLANDS RESTORATION PLAN. AN - 36405634; 4212 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a restoration plan that would ensure the long-term conservation of the coastal wetlands of Louisiana is proposed. Louisiana, which contains approximately 40 percent of the wetlands in the lower 48 states, is currently suffering 80 percent of the coastal wetland losses in these states. These losses have resulted from economic development along the coast, plus the construction of levees and other flood control projects, which have prevented sediments from the Mississippi River from building and nourishing wetland areas. These conditions have been compounded in many locales where channels that have been dredged for navigation or energy exploration have allowed salt water to penetrate far inland. In other areas, urbanization, highways, and spoil banks from channel dredging have disrupted natural drainage. The proposed plan would provide for the creation, restoration, protection, and enhancement of Louisiana's coastal wetlands, using the following basic approaches: (1) new wetlands would be built on a large scale by making maximum use of the sediment resources of the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers, and on a smaller scale through the use of dredged material and the trapping of longshore sediment; (2) fresh water would be added, salt water would be blocked, and dredged-material banks would be breached in order to restore the hydrologic conditions of channels and other structures; (3) vulnerable marshes would be protected by repairing and strengthening the landforms on the barrier islands, shorelines, and distributary ridges, all of which compose the natural skeleton of the region. Protection would also be accomplished through the control and management of particular stresses, such as herbivory; and (4) overland flow and sinuous channel flow (the natural hydrologic process of the wetlands) would be promoted where possible, while active management of water levels would be undertaken where necessary. Appropriate mixes of the above approaches would be prepared for the nine hydrologic basins (Pontchartrain, Breton Sound, Mississippi River Delta, Barataria, Terrebonne, Atchafalaya, Teche/Vermilion, Mermentau, and Calcasieu /Sabine) that make up coastal Louisiana. Implementation of the plan would create or protect 202,757 acres of wetlands, and indirectly benefit an additional 532,556 acres, at a cost in excess of $1.1 billion over the next 20 years. The only other alternative considered in this draft EIS is a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed plan would reduce wetland losses by nearly 70 percent over the next 20 years. The No Action Alternative would result in a wetlands loss roughly equivalent in area to the state of Rhode Island, and this loss would, in turn, result in substantial losses of fish and wildlife resources, recreational opportunities, tourism revenues, and indigenous culture. Furthermore, at the end of those 20 years the problem would remain and losses would continue. Ultimately the nation would lose billions of dollars in commercial productivity and billions more in infrastructure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Sediment diversion, hydrologic restoration, marsh creation with dredged materials, and other restorative activities could adversely affect oyster leases and some cultural resources, while reducing boat access in certain areas.

Removal residence of (super 137) Cs between May 1986 and March 1988 averaged 150 days in the epilimnion and 280 days in the hypolimnion. (super 137) Cs accumulated in the hypolimnion during stratification and its scavenging from there into the sediments was the rate-limiting step of removing the isotope from the water column. Scavenging by settling particles was the main removal process of this isotope in epilimnion and hypolimnion. Postdepositional mobility of (super 137) Cs and natural (super 210) Pb in sediments is established.

The material is presented in two chapters and a comprehensive example. Chapter 1 presents introductory material necessary for an understanding of the theory, assumptions, equations and numerical methods incorporated into HEC-1 for kinematic wave flood routing. The physical processes of the urban runoff and Streamflow routing are discussed briefly and related to the kinematic wave capabilities in HEC-1. Chapter 2 explains methods of applying kinematic wave routing techniques using HEC-1. Data requirements along with specific methods of applying kinematic wave routing techniques to runoff problems in urban hydrology are discussed. The chapters have been prepared so the user can either read one or both. A user interested only in the theory, or only in application procedures, can read the appropriate chapter.

AN - 36397895; 4137 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of standard project flood protection along the Arkansas and Walnut rivers in Arkansas City, Kansas, is proposed. The project would extend, raise, and strengthen the existing levee and widen the lower Walnut River to a 350-foot-bottom-width channel for about a two-mile reach. This draft supplement to the final EIS of April 1985 assesses the impacts of some proposed changes to the design of the original project that was recommended for authorization in the final EIS. The levee alignment along the two rivers would generally follow the authorized project alignment, with minor corrections. The most significant deviation would occur immediately south of the Total Petroleum Refinery, where an additional 600 feet of levee would be added to avoid disturbing petroleum products. The Walnut River channel improvement would also closely follow the authorized alignment except in one portion where the alignment would shift in order to avoid impacting existing refinery tanks, access ramps, ponds, and utilities. In this section, three narrow berms would be constructed along the west bank of the river's natural channel; the berms would cover approximately 2.5 acres of channel bottom. Finally, Arkansas City has proposed the integration of the levee project with a state highway project that would route north-south truck traffic to the east of the city through the Walnut River floodplain. By using the highway embankment as part of the levee system, the city would reduce real estate and earthen fill requirements while also expanding the area of flood protection provided by the project. The authorized project would have provided protection as far north as the C Street Canal; the highway embankment would extend the flood protection area well north of the canal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The minor changes in levee alignment and the integration of the levee system with the proposed new highway would reduce project costs and minimize social impacts to property. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Environmental losses from the authorized project would include 35 acres of bottomland forest, 60 acres of grassland, 91 acres of farmland, 40 acres of aquatic habitat, and 2.3 acres of wetlands. In certain sections, the proposed levee would encroach on solid waste dumps and other sites contaminated with hazardous wastes. Extraction of fill material from the borrow sites would impact approximately 70 acres of land planted with winter wheat.

Preparation date: June 28, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAKE ARTERIAL EXTENSION (STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 31-LAYTON AVENUE), KENOSHA, RACINE, AND MILWAUKEE COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36412219; 4129 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 21-mile, north-south arterial highway extending from the southern Milwaukee, Wisconsin, metropolitan area to communities in Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties is proposed. The northern project limit is in the city of Cudahy at Layton Avenue; this also serves as the southern terminus of an ongoing construction project referred to as the Lake Parkway. The southern project limit is in Kenosha County near the intersection of State Trunk Highway 31 and County Trunk Highway ""A.'' Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Under the build alternatives, a new arterial with either two or three 12-foot-wide driving lanes in each direction separated by a median would be built. In the northern portion of the project corridor, under Alternative 2, the highway would generally follow alongside the Chicago & North Western Railroad, with three routing variations occurring within an environmentally sensitive area. In the southern portion of the corridor, the alignment would follow the west side of the railroad tracks for half of the way and the east side of the tracks for the rest of the way to the southern terminus. Under Alternative 3, two existing suburban arterials would be upgraded in the northern portion of the corridor (Layton and Howell avenues) from two to three lanes in each direction. Each street's existing auxiliary lane would be widened to preserve the street's 28-foot-wide median. In the southern portion of the corridor, under Alternative 3, the highway would have the same alignment as Alternative 2. Under both alternatives, the highway would include a 50-foot-wide corridor of additional right-of-way for possible future mass transit use. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $120 million to $160 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would reduce traffic congestion on local roads. Currently, the area's major north-south route is I-94; getting to this facility requires making east-west trips, which increases overall trip mileage and duration. The proposed highway would also encourage a more focused and orderly land development pattern in the project corridor. Without this development pattern, I-94 would remain the key focus for development, which would result in an inefficient use of land and infrastructure and would add to traffic control and safety problems. This would hamper the city of Racine's ability to attract and retain businesses and residents, and would hinder efficient access to other communities, including Oak Creek, Caledonia, and Mount Pleasant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the proposed highway would involve converting up to 884 acres to highway use. Lost acreage would include up to 88 acres of wetlands, 633 acres of cropland and pasture, and 22 acres of woodlands. In addition, up to 64 residences and 12 businesses would be displaced, and three historic sites and five archaeological sites would be adversely affected. These losses and displacements would be slightly less severe if acreage were not set aside for the optional mass transit right-of-way. Nine streams would be crossed under both build allternatives. In addition, under Alternative 2, approximately five acres of proposed parkland in Oak Creek would be acquired.

Preparation date: June 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SR 167 CORRIDOR ADOPTION, PUYALLUP TO PROPOSED SR 509, CITIES OF PUYALLUP, FIFE, AND TACOMA, PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36408089; 4127 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the final section of the State Route (SR) 167 freeway between SR 161 (Meridian Street North) in Puyallup, Washington, and the planned SR 509 freeway (the East-West Road alignment) in Tacoma, a distance of approximately six miles, is proposed. An SR 167 interchange with Interstate 5 (I-5) would be included in the project. The new freeway would replace the existing SR 167 arterial route (via Meridian Street North and River Road) between Puyallup and the I-5 Bay Street interchange. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, the southernmost of the three build alternative alignments, the freeway would be approximately 6.2 miles long and run parallel to the Puyallup River for a portion of its length. Grade-separated interchanges would be located at I-5, 54th Avenue East, 70th Avenue East, and Meridian Street North; other grade separations would be located at Frank Albert Road and 82nd Avenue East. Access to SR 509 would be through at-grade intersections of Port of Tacoma Road with the SR 509 frontage roads. The corridor would begin north of the proposed SR 509 facility on Port of Tacoma Road. It would then proceed south over SR 509, the Pacific Highway, I-5, 20th Street East, and the Union Pacific Railroad to the Puyallup River, and would then parallel the river to Frank Albert Road. From there it would curve east to a point about midway between the river and the railroad; it would then head southeasterly up the river valley and terminate at the SR 161/167 interchange in North Puyallup. Under Alternatives 2 and 3, the freeway would be 6.0 and 5.7 miles long, respectively, and follow a common alignment throughout most of their proposed length. Each would provide interchanges with the proposed SR 509, 54th Avenue East, I-5, Valley Avenue East, and Meridian Street North. Under Alternative 2, the freeway would begin at the proposed SR 509 midway between Alexander Avenue and Marshall Avenue. It would proceed east over 54th Avenue East, curve to the southeast, cross over the Pacific Highway (SR 99), I-5, and 70th Avenue East, and proceed to 82nd Avenue East. At 82nd Avenue East, it would curve south to Valley Avenue and the railroad, which it would overcross. It would then curve to the southeast, and would terminate at the SR 161/167 interchange. Under Alternative 3, the freeway would begin at the proposed SR 509 near Taylor Way. It would proceed south and southeasterly with structures over 8th Street East, 12th Street East, and the Pacific Highway (SR 99), where it would join the Alternative 2 alignment. All three alternatives would share a common alignment for approximately two miles until terminating at the SR 161/167 interchange in North Puyallup. The estimated costs of the three build alternatives are $111 million, $119.2 million, and $111.2 million, respectively. [NOTE: This report is "Tier 1" of a tiered document. More detailed studies and analyses will be conducted in the future. Prior to any construction activities, a Tier II or supplemental EIS will be completed.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would reduce traffic congestion on local roads and provide a critical connecting link in the regional freeway system. It would connect the Puyallup termini of the existing SR 167, SR 410, and SR 512 freeways to the I-5 corridor, the port of Tacoma, and the proposed SR 509 expressway. The latter would provide connections to the Tacoma central business district and west Federal Way. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would displace up to 101 residences and 12 businesses. Under Alternative 1, congestion would increase on surface streets north and south of I-5 in the vicinity of Port of Tacoma Road due to the elimination of the Port of Tacoma overpass of I-5 for local traffic circulation. Local trips would be diverted to already congested routes (the Pacific Highway, 54th Avenue East, and 20th Street East). Under all three of the alternatives, the conversion of land from agricultural to commercial uses would be accelerated, especially in the vicinity of interchanges. Project construction has the potential for direct water quality impacts to two creeks that are important fisheries resources for the Puyallup Tribe. Up to 80 acres of wetlands would be adversely affected and up to 11 acres of floodplain would be filled; as many as 93 residences and 4 businesses would experience a significant increase in noise levels. Under all three of the alternatives, the disturbance of undocumented archaeological sites could take place.

Preparation date: June 15, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BLACKSBURG/ROANOKE CONNECTOR, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36414510; 4125 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new roadway in Montgomery County, Virginia, is proposed to provide a direct link between Blacksburg and Roanoke and to relieve traffic congestion along Route 460 between Blacksburg and Interstate 81 (I-81). The facility would follow a new alignment from the new Route 460 Bypass to I-81. It would be constructed within a 180-foot right-of-way, and would include four 12-foot travel lanes, a 40-foot graded median, and 12- to 15-foot shoulders with appropriately sized drainage ditches. Three build alternatives (Alternatives 6, 7, and 10) are considered in this final EIS. Under Alternative 6 (the selected alternative), the roadway would extend 5.0 miles through the project area. It would begin 0.32 miles southeast of South Main Street at the new Route 460 Bypass and continue to I-81, 2.3 miles northeast of the intersection of Routes 11/460 and I-81. It would then span the Ellett Valley, interchange with Route 723, enter the mountainous region adjacent to and generally paralleling Route 641, and connect to I-81 north of the Route 641 underpass. Under Alternative 7, the roadway would extend 7.8 miles. It would also begin 0.32 miles southeast of South Main Street at the new Route 460 Bypass and continue to I-81, 2.42 miles southwest of the Route 603 interchange. It would span Route 723, follow the Route 603 corridor toward the Roanoke Valley, curve to the south to cross Route 603 and the North Fork Roanoke River, run through Pedlar Hills, and intersect with I-81 southwest of the Route 603 interchange. An interchange would connect the roadway with Route 723 in the Ellett Valley. Under Alternative 10, the roadway would extend 9.9 miles. It would begin at the same point as under Alternatives 6 and 7 and continue to the I-81 interchange with Route 603. It would follow the same alignment as under Alternative 7, except that it would continue to follow the Route 603 corridor along the North Fork Roanoke River, connecting to I-81 at the existing interchange with Route 603. Interchanges would also connect the roadway with Route 723 in Ellett Valley, Route 647 near Ironto, and Route 603 west of I-81. The estimated costs of Alternatives 6, 7, and 10 are $80.0 million, $116.0 million, and $138.8 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a direct link between Blacksburg and Roanoke, and relieving traffic congestion between Blacksburg and I-81 along the Route 460 corridor, the roadway would serve as a test facility for the Intelligent Vehicle/Highway System ""smart highway'' technology. The Montgomery County area offers unique qualities insofar as its varying terrain and extremes of weather present an opportunity to test developing technology under adverse conditions. Under the proposed action, truck traffic would be removed from the congested commercial area along Route 460, and access control on the new roadway would prevent commercial development along, and resulting congestion on, this facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the selected alternative, 253 acres would be converted to highway use, rights-of-way requirements would displace 2 families, and 12 streams would be crossed. Noise levels would be increased at various locations along the new highway.

Preparation date: June 11, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW HAMPSHIRE ROUTE 16/US ROUTE 302 IMPROVEMENTS, CARROLL COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AN - 36410137; 4117 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of New Hampshire (NH) Route 16 and US 302 through the villages of Conway and North Conway, New Hampshire, is proposed. These improvements are considered necessary to solve major traffic congestion and safety problems along this corridor, between the Madison/Albany town line to the south and the Conway/Bartlett town line to the north. In addition to serving as a regional highway, the Route 16/302 corridor serves as the primary roadway for local traffic in and through Conway and North Conway. Over the last 25 years, a great deal of tourism-related development has occurred in the Mount Washington Valley, primarily in the Route 16/302 corridor. In addition to a No-Build Alternative and a number of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management alternatives, a total of 14 build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9A) would involve the phased construction of a two-lane bypass south and east of Conway that would be approximately 12 miles long; the bypass would extend east of the Mineral Spring Wetland System and west of Pudding Pond. This alternative would also provide for the upgrading of Route 16/302 within Conway in the vicinity of Mountain Valley Mall and Settlers Green; consolidated curb cuts from the intersection of Routes 16 /302 to Artist Falls Road; minor rehabilitation of US 302 from NH Route 113 to Route 16 to facilitate construction of the bypass; and some TSM improvements. In addition, all local roads upgraded as part of the project would have adequate shoulders that would function as bicycle ways. The estimated construction costs of the preferred alternative are $69.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed bypass would relieve traffic congestion and improve safety along the Route 16/302 corridor, and improve local travel and regional access to the northern part of the state. Traffic congestion would diminish within the two villages, enhancing their historic character. Emergency vehicle access would improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 52 residences and 2 businesses; the loss of 322.1 total acres, including 8.4 acres of farmland and 27.4 acres of wetlands; the relocation of approximately 2,400 linear feet of a brook; the disturbance of 2 historic properties and 3 historic districts; and the acquisition of approximately 15.3 acres of parkland, causing some fragmentation of habitat, truncation of recreational trails, loss of public access to undeveloped land, and loss of aesthetic qualities. Some residences would experience an increase in noise levels. Approximately 5 acres of floodplain would also be affected.

Preparation date: June 10, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CORRIDOR L (US 19), NICHOLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TO I-79, NICHOLAS AND BRAXTON COUNTIES, WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36405626; 4123 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 24-mile segment of US 19 in West Virginia, from just north of Nicholas County High School near Summersville to an intersection with Interstate 79 (I-79) in Braxton County, is proposed. The segment is part of Appalachian Corridor L, an indefinite corridor connecting I-77 at Beckley with I-79 at Sutton, approximately 70 miles away. The proposed reconstruction primarily involves the expansion of the existing right-of-way to allow for the addition of two lanes and a median strip, either on the east or west side of the existing two-lane US 19. While all intersections would likely be at-grade, two potential interchanges, one at West Virginia Route 55 near the town of Muddlety and the other at West Virginia Route 82/Nicholas County 1 near the town of Birch River, are under consideration. In some mountain areas, an additional climbing lane would be added; three segments would require additional right-of-way. In addition to the No-Build Alternative, three build alternatives for the southern section of the corridor, and four for the northern section, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives differ from one another primarily in regard to the size of the median proposed and the use of the east or west side of US 19 for the additional two lanes. Estimated construction costs range from $60.6 million to $120.4 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would relieve traffic congestion, improve safety, and satisfy the 2012 design-year traffic flow along US 19. By completing the Corridor L construction to Summersville from I-79, the project would improve access to the lake and woodland recreation areas of central West Virginia, plus the commercial and industrial capabilities of the Summersville region. Construction would generate up to 6,257 new jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace up to ten residences and one business, and up to 7.6 acres of wetlands would be impacted. In addition, up to four cemeteries could be affected by dislocations or access restrictions. Many acres of wildlife habitat would be converted to highway use. Large hillside cuts would detract from the scenic quality of the area.

Preparation date: June 10, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED I-495 INTERCHANGE PROJECT, CRANE MEADOW ROAD, MARLBOROUGH AND SOUTHBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36414593; 4114 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new interchange along I-495 at the Marlborough /Southborough corporate boundary in Massachusetts is proposed. The proposed interchange would be constructed between the Route 9 and Route 20 interchanges (approximately one mile south of the Route 20 interchange) and would provide access to Crane Meadow Road. It would relieve congestion on area arterials and other interchanges and improve access to the commercial and industrial areas between Routes 9 and 20 in west Marlborough. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three major interchange alternatives are under consideration. The preferred alternative would consist of a full-service, diamond-type interchange providing access to the west, to Crane Meadow Road, but no access to the east. The configuration would consist of northbound and southbound off- and on-ramps terminating at an overpass and connector road extending to Crane Meadow Road. The connector road would have two westbound and two eastbound lanes. The ramps would each consist of one lane, with the northbound off-ramp widening to two lanes on its approach to a signalized intersection at the overpass, and the southbound on-ramp tapering from two lanes at the overpass to one lane where it merged with I-495. At Crane Meadow Road, the primary traffic movement would be to the right, onto Crane Meadow Road and Simarano Drive northbound. Crane Meadow Road from the south would meet the connector road at a T-intersection. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $5.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed interchange would improve access to the commercial and industrial area in west Marlborough and provide a stimulus for additional development in the area, resulting in 1.8 million square feet of new commercial space and 4,800 new secondary jobs. The interchange would provide for the safe and efficient movement of traffic volume through the year 2016 and, in so doing, would reduce traffic congestion on local roads and intersections. Air quality would improve at locations along Route 20 as a result of the diversion of trips to the new interchange. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would alter 0.91 acres of wetlands and more than 50 feet of bank, and would convert approximately 20 acres of wildlife habitat to highway use.

Preparation date: June 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - USHK BAY TIMBER SALE, ALASKA PULP CORPORATION LONG-TERM TIMBER SALE CONTRACT, CHATHAM AREA, TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST, ALASKA. AN - 36397227; 4087 AB - PURPOSE: The harvesting of timber from the Ushk Bay project area located on the southwest end of Chichagof Island, Alaska, is proposed. The project area is located approximately 30 air miles north of Sitka, and is bordered on the east by Peril Strait, on the west and south by the West Chichagof-Yakoba Wilderness, and on the north by a designated roadless area. The Tongass National Forest is the last substantially intact temperate rainforest on Earth. The proposed harvesting would be in accordance with the 50-year contract negotiated between the Forest Service and the Alaska Pulp Corporation (APC). The issues raised during public scoping include the effects of the proposed harvest and road construction on subsistence users, the Native allotment land claim at Deep Bay, recreation and visual resources, socioeconomic conditions, wildlife habitat, and fish and shellfish habitat. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative C), 97.3 million board feet (MMBF) of timber would be harvested in 90 harvest units on 2,939 acres. The harvesting would take place in the vicinity of Ushk Bay and Poison Cove as well as in areas south of Poison Cove and in the Deep Bay watershed. Group selection harvesting would be employed in some of the visually sensitive areas along Peril Strait. The groups would be approximately two to three acres in size, and about 25 percent of the timber within the unit boundaries would be harvested. Overall, the project's average unit size would be about 33 acres, and four harvest units would be larger than 100 acres. To implement this level of harvesting, 62 miles of roads would be constructed; the roads would connect four log transfer facilities planned for construction. Roads would be maintained after the harvesting to provide recreational access by truck or off-road vehicle. Most acres would be harvested using skyline systems. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would meet the annual requirement of the long-term timber sale contract with the APC. It would have a positive impact on the local economy, generating approximately 501 new jobs and $13.47 million in employee compensation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the project alternatives would result in a significant restriction on the subsistence use of deer in the project area. The preferred alternative would result in the loss of 2,648 acres of old-growth forest. The project would also adversely affect riparian, beach fringe, and estuary fringe habitat. Road construction would require the clearing of approximately 374 acres, and there would be 159 stream crossings. While the access provided by new roads would enhance some recreational opportunities within the area, the roads would also detract from the primitive character of the area and therefore reduce the overall satisfaction of the forest visitor. A proposed road on the south shore of Deep Bay would traverse land claimed under a Native allotment; this land would be directly affected by construction and transportation activities. The proposed harvesting on the slopes above Peril Strait and in the Goal Creek Drainage would detract from the scenic quality of the area.

Preparation date: June 3, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTHWEST CONNECTOR, DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEBRASKA. AN - 15232269; 4116 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway on a new alignment in the northwest section of the Omaha, Nebraska, metropolitan area is proposed. The proposed roadway would extend east and west for approximately two miles from 72nd Street to Blair High Road near I-680. The northwest section of the city currently has no major arterial roadway that provides east-west access. Two build alternatives, known as the 90th Street and Ida Street alignments, as well as a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Both build alternatives would involve construction of a controlled-access highway with a median, which could be used for a separate left-turn lane, and a bridge crossing Little Papillion Creek west of Wenninghoff Road. The build alternatives share a common route for 1.1 miles from 72nd Street to Wenninghoff Road, at which point they divide. The primary difference between the two alternatives is their point of intersection with Blair High Road. The 90th Street alignment, which is 1.9 miles long but has a 0.3-mile connector to Ida Street, would curve to the south as it approached Blair High Road and would then intersect it at 90th Street. The Ida Street alignment, which is 2.2 miles long, would intersect Blair High Road at the existing Ida Street intersection. The cost of the two alignments is estimated at $11 million and $12 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed connector would open up the northwest quadrant of the Omaha metropolitan area for commercial and residential development. Since most of the projected development would occur on agricultural lands, property values would increase. Construction of the connector would ease the traffic burden on existing residential streets; it is anticipated that the traffic volume on these streets will double by the year 2012. In addition to providing safer travel for motorists, the facility would provide improved access for police and emergency vehicles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 100 acres of right-of-way land would be required to complete the project, and most of it would be prime farmland. Six jurisdictional wetlands have been identified in the project area. The 90th Street alignment would directly affect 2.71 acres of wetlands; the Ida Street alignment, 2.87 acres. The 90th Street alignment would require the relocation of one business; the Ida Street alignment would affect four businesses, with partial land acquisitions and site access impacts.

AN - 36405562; 4083 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an open-pit vermiculite mine on a 139-acre site located in the Bitterroot National Forest on ABM Ridge in the Sapphire Mountains, approximately 11 miles east and slightly north of Hamilton in Ravalli County, Montana, is proposed by Stansbury Holdings Corporation (d b a Western Vermiculite Company). A portion of the permit area consists of unreclaimed land disturbed by previous mining activities. Elevations of the mine site and vicinity range from approximately 6,600 to 7,200 feet. Most of the surrounding area is forested. St. Clair Creek, the major drainage, lies approximately 200 feet in elevation below the lower limit of mine disturbance. Focal issues addressed in this document include those associated with wildlife; water quality and sedimentation; groundwater availability, levels, and flow; water use; wetlands; potential health risks related to actinolite fibers; and transportation impacts. Access to the project site would be provided from a Ravalli County highway via a private road and Forest Service roads. In addition to the mine, the project would include a concentrator, related surface facilities, and a haul road providing access to a host rock waste stockpile located approximately 0.75 miles from the mine site. At the waste stockpile, waste rock, magnetite ore, and host rock would be deposited. Construction of the mine and facilities would occur over one six-month construction season, after all necessary permits and approvals were obtained. The project would then operate for five to eight years, from May to October of each year, when access to the site would be feasible. Special mitigation measures would include road closures and the busing of employees to reduce wildlife impacts; specific measures to improve roads and control dust and noise; increased control and management of surface water quality; and measures to address the potential loss of wetlands due to decreased groundwater flow. In addition, an alternate water-use scenario could be implemented that would preclude the need to obtain surface water rights for the project. A reclamation plan would also be implemented. Three alternatives, including the proposed action (Alternative 1) and the No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 2 (Stansbury's proposal with modifications) is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Commercial mining and concentration of vermiculite ore would provide a source of textural materials for paints, insulation, plant growth promotion, and aggregate for certain plaster formulations. The project would employ up to 60 persons in mining and related operations, professional and administrative positions, and concentrate and waste rock haulage work. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Major areas of disturbance within the permit area would include the facility site on ABM Ridge, the waste stockpile, and areas affected by road construction and improvement. The migration of big game, particularly elk, would be affected by mining activities. Shallow groundwater would be encountered by mining activities, which could upset the hydrologic balance in the ABM Ridge area, potentially dewatering springs and wetlands east and southwest of the project site. A water management program would be implemented in order to prevent such dewatering from occurring. Stansbury's possible use of water from Prospect Spring for project activities would result in conflicts with other water rights holders in the Bitterroot Valley. Slight transportation impacts would result from traffic generated by the project.

Tagged adults (n=28) ranged from 544 mm to 871 mm fork length and 1,510 g to 7,125 g. Twenty-six tags were carried for 7-225 d. Most of the tagged sturgeons were relocated in the tidal portion of the river. Sturgeon that over-wintered in the upper tidal river near Trenton, New Jersey, began traveling upstream in late March to the nontidal river above Trenton where spawning presumably occurred from late March through April. After spawning, sturgeon traveled rapidly downstream into the tidal portion of the river near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where they remained through the end of May. Before the end of June, most sturgeon returned upstream and re-entered the upper tidal river near Trenton, where most apparently remained for the summer and winter. In general, the same pattern was apparent for both sexes. As a result of the intensive use of the river between Philadelphia to just above Trenton, any alterations or additional insults to the river should consider the impact on this endangered species.

AN - 36389073; 4121 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 1.25-mile section of I-195 in Providence, Rhode Island, is proposed. The project area extends from the west end of Washington Bridge (which leads to East Providence) to I-95. This section of the interstate, which carries up to 130,000 vehicles per day, was constructed in the late 1950s and suffers from several outdated highway design features that create difficult driving conditions and severe congestion. These features include deteriorated bridge structures; substandard roadway alignments with sharp curves; substandard shoulder widths; and poor operational conditions between the Wickendon Street and I-95 interchanges. Three alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The Reconstruction Alternative would involve making necessary improvements to the bridges and roadway without changing the alignment or access of the existing facility; this alternative is a surrogate for a No-Build Alternative, which is not feasible in this instance because of the deteriorated condition of the bridges. The North Alignment Alternative would involve constructing an all-new facility parallel to and immediately north of the existing highway as it crosses the Providence River. This alternative would substantially improve the alignment of the interstate, providing smoother curvature, full shoulders, and improved ramp spacing. The facility would have four lanes in each direction, and the fourth lane could be used as a high-occupancy-vehicle lane. The alignment would tie into I-95 at the existing Hayward Park interchange. Some 8.6 acres of existing right-of-way would be vacated and made available for redevelopment or reuse. Old Harbor Plan elements, including improvements to pedestrian, bicycle, and water transportation facilities along the river, would be included. The Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative would provide an entirely new alignment, locating the facility immediately south of the Providence River Hurricane Barrier. This alternative would also provide four lanes in each direction, but it would involve a new interchange with I-95, opposite the Rhode Island Hospital, and associated improvements to I-95 between Thurbers Avenue and Broad Street. The right-of-way of the existing I-195, consisting of approximately 35 acres, would be vacated and made available for public improvements and private development. India Point Park would be expanded and enhanced; water transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities along the river would be provided; and the adjacent Downtown and College Hill historic districts would also be enhanced. Total costs of the three alternatives are estimated to be $42.07 million, $169.87 million, and $299.14 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of either of the build alternatives would correct the structural deterioration, safety deficiencies, and inadequate capacity of I-195. The Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative would have a more dramatic effect on safety; under it, the expected number of accidents over a five-year period would be approximately 300 less than that under the North Alignment Alternative, and 500 less than that under the Reconstruction Alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The two build alternatives would require the relocation of the aerial electrical transmission lines along India Street; the lines would be relocated to new towers and remain aerial through India Point Park and across both the Providence and Seekonk rivers. The North Alignment Alternative would displace up to 2,900 square feet (sf) of parkland and four businesses, and would impact three historic districts; the Hurricane Barrier Alignment Alternative would displace four residences, 16 businesses, and three historic buildings. Both alternatives would require the removal of 5,500 sf of tidal mud flat marine habitat, adversely affecting benthic organisms. Although both alternatives would improve the overall safety of the roadway, the North Alignment Alternative would not improve the interchange with I-95, the substandard weaving areas on I-95, or access to Rhode Island Hospital, the area's largest employer.

Preparation date: May 28, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TWIN BRIDGES REPLACEMENT PROJECT, GROSSCUP ROAD, BENTON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36410078; 4126 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the existing south bridge of the Twin Bridges crossing the Yakima River in Benton County, Washington, is proposed. The bridges are located approximately one mile north of the city of West Richland and provide a crossing for Grosscup Road, which in turn provides access from West Richland to State Route 240 and the Department of Energy's Hanford Reservation. The bridges consist of a one-lane bridge extending from the southerly bank of the Yakima River to an island, and a two-lane bridge from the island to the river's northerly bank. Since its construction in 1915, the one-lane bridge has deteriorated, and it can no longer support the weight of today's larger vehicles. Replacement of the bridge is considered necessary to improve safety and accommodate projected traffic demands. Weight restrictions on the existing bridge limit emergency vehicle access and increase emergency response times. Deterioration of the bridge and its encroachment into the 100-year floodway could lead to failure and collapse of the structure. Four alternatives for the Twin Bridges, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives call for replacing the south bridge with a new bridge (Alternative 1); replacing both the south and north spans (Alternative 2); or removing the south bridge and constructing a new bridge downstream that would have two piers in the river (Alternative 3A) or one pier on the south shore (Alternative 3B). The estimated construction costs of Build Alternatives 1, 2, 3A, and 3B are $3.1 million, $4.2 million, $3.2 million, and $4.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the build alternatives would improve traffic safety, reduce traffic congestion, and accommodate projected traffic demand. The new structure would be designed to accommodate, at a minimum, a peak-hour traffic volume of 1,900 vehicles per hour in the year 2012. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would require the acquisition of up to nine acres of privately owned land for additional right-of-way. Each build alternative would displace one residence and up to six occupants, and each would involve the relocation of the Columbia Irrigation District Canal farther south. The build alternatives would impact up to 16 acres of land, including prime farmlands and jurisdictional wetlands. Soils highly susceptible to wind erosion would be disturbed. During construction, air quality would be degraded by dust emissions, and some temporary degradation of water quality would occur from sedimentation and runoff.

Preparation date: May 12, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 14 FROM THE JUNCTION OF THE NORTH MANKATO-MANKATO BYPASS AND COUNTY ROAD 193 AT THE EAST EDGE OF MANKATO TO 0.9 MILES EAST OF THE EAST JUNCTION OF TH 60 EAST OF EAGLE LAKE, MINNESOTA. AN - 36405660; 4115 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of Trunk Highway (TH) 14 on a new alignment between Mankato and the east junction of TH 60 east of Eagle Lake in Blue Earth County, south-central Minnesota, is proposed. Alternatives considered in the draft EIS included the No Action Alternative, two-lane reconstruction on the existing alignment, and four-lane construction on a new alignment in the northern portion of the corridor. In this final EIS, the preferred alternative, four-lane construction on a new alignment, combines Alternative W and a modified Alternative D from the draft EIS. The proposed project, which would be approximately 7.4 miles long, would be a four-lane expressway facility except along its westerly two miles, which would be constructed to freeway standards. The project would begin at the junction of the North Mankato-Mankato Bypass and County Road 193 east of Mankato, extend approximately one mile before curving southward to skirt a major portion of a large wetland/upland complex, and then continue eastward across County State Aid Highway 3, the north edge of a wetland, and the DME Railroad tracks. It would then curve slightly to the north and east to avoid the city of Eagle Lake, intersect with a connection to Township Road 341, cross the Eagle Lake outlet, and continue to a terminus 0.9 miles east of the east junction of TH 60. The facility would have 12-foot-wide driving lanes and ten-foot-wide outside paved shoulders. An interchange would be built at the intersection of TH 14 and County Road 193 at the east edge of Mankato and the west end of the project. All other intersections would be at-grade, with left- and right-turn lanes provided. The facility would contain three entrances to the city of Eagle Lake, and eastbound and westbound bridges over the railroad west of Eagle Lake. The existing TH 14 from Mankato to Eagle Lake would remain in place as a county highway; east of Eagle Lake, the existing roadway would be obliterated. The estimated cost of the project, which would be phased over a two-year period, would be $16.47 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would have a higher traffic capacity and provide a higher level of service and safety than the existing facility. It would ease local- and through-traffic movements, and would lower noise levels within the city of Eagle Lake. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the degradation or loss of 24.7 acres of stream waterways and wetlands and the displacement of 170.9 acres of prime farmland. Approximately 9.6 acres of farmland would be triangulated, eight farmed parcels would be severed, and two residences or small businesses would be relocated. Noise levels near some farmsteads and homes along the new alignment would also increase.

This paper summarizes past efforts and current trends in suing digital terrain models and GIS to perform hydrologic analyses. Three methods of geographic information storage are discussed: raster or grid, triangulated irregular network, and contour-based line networks. The computational, geographic, and hydrologic aspects of each data-storage method are analyzed. The use of remotely sensed data in GIS and hydrologic modeling is reviewed. Lumped parameter, physics-based, and hybrid approaches to hydrologic modeling are discussed with respect to their geographic data inputs. Finally, several applications areas (e.g., floodplain hydrology and erosion prediction) for GIS hydrology are described. JF - Technical Papers.

The HEC-PRM represents the Columbia system as a link-node network and uses network-flow programming to optimize, in time and space, flow and storage in the system. The representation of operation goals in HEC-PRM is accomplished through flow, storage, and energy economic penalty functions. Operation purposes represented by penalty functions included hydropower, water supply, flood control, navigation, recreation, and anadromous fish. The application was based on fifty year period-of-record with a monthly time interval. The HEC data storage system, HEC-DSS, was utilized extensively for data management and analysis of results.

AN - 36399139; 4053 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of US 10 in southern Waupaca County, Wisconsin, from a two-lane to a four-lane facility is proposed. The 15-mile project would extend from Anderson Road in Waupaca, 0.5 miles west of the State Trunk Highway (STH) 54/49 interchange, to Brown Road, two miles west of the village of Fremont. US 10 is a major east-west link across central Wisconsin serving commuter, commercial, and recreational traffic between the Stevens Point area to the west and the Fox River Valley to the east. Traffic along the project corridor is expected to increase about 50 percent by 2017, resulting in volumes of up to 18,600 vehicles per day. Traffic volumes already exceed safety thresholds for the highway, and accident and fatality rates exceed the statewide average. Several alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the proposed build alternatives, the existing road would be upgraded to a four-lane, divided highway. Differences under the alternatives in their stipulations are as follows: the alignment location relative to the existing highway; the presence of a frontage road; the number of points accessible to US 10; and the number of residences and farms adversely affected by rights-of-way acquisition. The existing US 10 would be incorporated along most of the project corridor, either as two lanes of the new four-lane facility or as a frontage road adjacent to the four-lane facility for local access. Exceptions to this incorporation would occur along a 1.5-mile section at the proposed interchange with County Trunk Highway (CTH) ""X'' at Weyauwega and along a one-mile section at the proposed interchange with STH 49; in these areas the proposed alignment would be built at a new location. All driving lanes would be 12 feet wide, and the highway would be divided by a 60-foot median throughout most of the project corridor to provide an adequate and safe separation of opposing directions of traffic, adequate drainage, storage for vehicles (including trucks and school buses) at crossroad intersections, and storage for farm machinery in median openings. Between Anderson Road and CTH ""A,'' however, the median would be 30 feet wide. New interchanges are proposed for CTH ""X,'' STH 110, and STH 49. In general, existing access to US 10, including local roads, field entrances, and driveways, would be consolidated to control direct at-grade connections to the upgraded highway. At the eastern terminus of the project, the four-lane cross section would narrow to meet the existing two-lane cross section near Brown Road. Improvements to the existing road such as resurfacing, rehabilitation, or shoulder restoration would be accomplished within the existing highway right-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, through traffic would be allowed to operate at or near the 55-mph speed limit under peak traffic volume conditions; would reduce accidents; and the need to convert the facility to freeway standards would be precluded in the foreseeable future. The annual savings resulting from the improved level of service would total up to $2 million for truck users. The highway improvement would also result in an increase in local business sales, an increase in spendable personal income (of up to $116 million between the years 1990 and 2020), the creation of jobs, and a reduction in travel time for local residents. Improved access to recreational and related resources would benefit tourism and increase spending by out-of-state visitors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 238 acres. Up to 58 acres of wetland and 17 acres of woodland would be required for widening the existing highway and constructing new interchanges. Up to 141 acres of farmland from 32 farming operations would be displaced. The project would require a maximum of 20 residential and 10 business relocations. Other impacts would include wildlife habitat loss, potential erosion and sedimentation during construction, the loss of prime soils, the potential discovery of unknown underground storage tanks, noise impacts to adjacent residences, and impacts to the habitat of two state-listed threatened turtle species.

AN - 36407605; 3984 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of tests and collection of data in support of missile research, development, and operational missions, including missions associated with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), on Kwajalein Atoll within the Republic of the Marshall Islands is proposed. Kwajalein Atoll is a crescent-shaped coral reef that encloses the world's largest lagoon. The land area of the atoll is 5.6 square miles. The proposed action outlined in the final EIS of October 1989 provided for test range facilities and support services for continuing research, development, operational launch missions, operational space track missions, and SDI activities. Early in 1991, President Bush announced a refocusing of the SDI program, from its early emphasis on defending against mass nuclear attack from a single source, to protection against limited ballistic missile strikes regardless of their source. The limited-strike program, known as Global Protection against Limited Strikes (GPALS), is designed to protect the U.S., our forces overseas, and our allies and friends abroad. GPALS has three segments: global missile defense (GMD), national missile defense (NMD), and theater missile defense (TMD). Congress, in addition to enacting the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1991 and 1992, enacted the Missile Defense Act of 1991 with the following goals: "(1) [to] deploy an ABM system, including one or an adequate number of ABM sites and space-based sensors, that is capable of providing a highly efficient defense of the United States against limited attacks of ballistic missiles; (2) [to] maintain strategic stability; and (3) [to] provide a highly effective TMD system to forward-deployed and expeditionary elements of the Armed Forces of the United States and to friends and allies of the United States." This draft supplement to the final EIS outlines a proposed action in support of the Missile Defense Act of 1991, plus another proposed action, both requiring environmental analysis. The action supporting the Missile Defense Act involves increased testing of advanced systems for defending against limited attacks of ballistic missiles, and related support activities. Four alternatives, each proposing a distinct level of testing and development activity, are considered in the draft supplement. Under the preferred alternative, an intermediate level of activity is proposed. Launches would be made from Meck, Omelek, and Illeginni islands; as a result, dredging and quarrying for shoreline protection and new facilities would be required. Meck Island would be expanded by approximately 15 acres to accommodate new launch facilities. Illeginni launch facilities would be reconstructed, and some existing silos on Meck and Illeginni could be destroyed. The other proposed action involves the adoption of locally developed environmental guidelines and procedures to replace the U.S.-based standards currently in place. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed changes in missile-testing activities are a response to changing U.S. defense needs following the relaxation of East-West tensions. The proposed new environmental regulations would provide higher levels of protection of air and water quality, wildlife resources, and soils. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: With an intermediate level of activity, the nonindigenous island population would increase by approximately 1,675 persons (or 52 percent), placing additional stress on housing and on social and infrastructural resources (e.g., the capacity of the Kwajalein wastewater treatment plant would be exceeded). A proposed explosive ordnance pit on Ennugarret Island would substantially increase noise levels, destroy a small habitat area inhabited by seabirds and coconut crabs, and degrade the aesthetic quality of the island. The expansion of Meck Island would have an adverse effect on coral, fish, and invertebrates. The construction of revetments on a sandy beach on Illeginni Island could harm the hawksbill turtle, an endangered species. Construction and renovation activities on the islands could adversely affect historic and prehistoric sites. Finally, the levels of hazardous wastes generated on the islands would increase substantially. LEGAL MANDATES: Missile Defense Act of 1991.

AN - 36414127; 4066 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 120-acre, 1,400-berth marina, and concurrent residential development of the marina area, at Ewa Beach on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, is proposed by HASEKO (Ewa), Inc. Alternatives to this plan include the construction of a 70-acre, 800-berth marina, and residential development of the area without the marina. In addition to the marina, the project would include an entrance channel; 400-foot-long protective jetties on either side of the entrance channel; internal wave absorbers; boat launching ramps; boat haul-out facilities; bulkheads; storm drain structures; navigational aids; and a bridge to an island that would be created at the eastern end of the marina. Some 300,000 cubic yards of coralline material and sand dredged during the construction of the entrance channel would be disposed of at the EPA's South Oahu Dredged Material Ocean Disposal Site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina construction at this location would be consistent with current state and local land use plans and coastal zone management policies. The project would help meet the high demand for berth space, and would generate more ocean-related commercial development in the area. Shoreline access for the public would be enhanced. In addition, the marina would become an estuarine environment, providing habitat diversity for fish and invertebrates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the alternatives would require land clearing, which would include the removal of existing sugarcane and Kiawe forest plant communities. Development of the Ewa plain area would cause the plain to cease functioning as a flood storage basin, resulting in increased runoff to the ocean. Anticipated population growth resulting from the proposed development would increase demand for utilities and services. A limestone caprock aquifer would be altered, reducing groundwater levels. Construction activities would generate substantial fugitive dust emissions, and would increase water turbidity and destroy marine organisms in a 40-acre area. The entrance channel alignment would alter one of seven surf sites in the area and destroy an anchialine pool harboring hypogeal shrimp. Mitigation measures would be needed to ensure that if explosives were used to excavate the channel, the green sea turtle, a threatened species, would not be harmed.

Preparation date: April 22, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - 1992 COLUMBIA/SNAKE RIVERS SALMON FLOW MEASURES OPTIONS ANALYSIS; OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO (ACQUIRING REPLACEMENT POWER FOR THAT LOST FROM ADDITIONAL RELEASES: IMPLEMENTATION). AN - 36388719; 4034 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of flow regimes associated with eight reservoirs on the Columbia River and its tributaries in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho is proposed in order to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia, Canada. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams are operated to meet multiple purposes, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. For the purposes of the study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering reservoir elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the drawdown options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation regimes would involve discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Eight specific flow augmentation options for the Snake River have been identified; these options involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, sometimes in combination with the application of flood control rule curves and/or shifts of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes considered under the augmentation plans include 600,000 to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 200,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140 cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. [The Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), has adopted the Army Corps of Engineers' (COE's) final EIS filed with the Environmental Protection Agency on January 16, 1992. The BPA was a cooperating agency in the preparation of the COE's EIS.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, including passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Snake River would be affected, and hydroelectric and irrigation capacity would be impacted negatively.

Preparation date: April 20, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HILLSBORO CORRIDOR, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36411089; 4049 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the mass transit system connecting Portland and Hillsboro, Oregon, is proposed. Hillsboro is located approximately 6.2 miles west of Portland. The Hillsboro Corridor is bounded on the east by SW 185th Avenue, and extends north past US 26 to the boundary between Washington and Multnomah counties, south past the Tulatin Valley Highway, and west to include Hillsboro and Forest Grove. The corridor is within the urban growth boundary for Portland and includes major residential, commercial, and industrial developments and large tracts of land destined for future development. It contains the Hillsboro business district, the Portland-Hillsboro Airport, the Washington County Fairplex, and several major employers. The corridor also includes the western terminus of the future Westside light rail transit (LRT) line from downtown Portland to SW 185th Avenue. This project has already been approved, and construction of the Westside LRT line begins in 1993. However, because of the recent growth and projected future growth of the Hillsboro Corridor, an extension of the Westside LRT line through the Hillsboro Corridor is now being considered. Four alternatives for the Hillsboro Corridor extension are described in this draft EIS: a No-Build Alternative, which would terminate the LRT line at SW 185th Avenue; a Transportation Systems Management Alternative, which would also terminate the LRT line at SW 185th Avenue, but which would improve bus service and traffic control measures along the corridor; a full-length LRT system from SW 185th Avenue to the Hillsboro business district, a distance of 6.2 miles; and a short-terminus LRT system from SW 185th Avenue to a proposed terminus at the Washington County Fairplex, a distance of 3.9 miles. Three optional alignments through downtown Hillsboro are under consideration for the full-length LRT to Hillsboro: Washington Street, Main Street, and a Washington/Main Street couplet. The remainder of the full-length LRT alignment would run parallel to an abandoned railroad alignment. This alternative would involve the construction of ten new LRT stations, three new park-and-ride lots, and 355 new parking places. For all three optional alignments, the Hillsboro Transit Center would be relocated. The shorter LRT line to the Fairplex would involve the construction of four stations and the same number of parking facilities as for the longer route. Both the full-length (all options) and short-terminus LRT alternatives would eliminate duplicate service and restructure the bus feeder networks. The total capital costs of the LRT alternatives would range from $78.6 million for the short-terminus alternative to $142 million for the couplet option of the full-length route. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The rail alternatives would provide passengers with through-service to a high-growth area now experiencing severe traffic congestion problems. System construction would reduce traffic congestion by up to 9,000 vehicle miles daily, thereby improving local air quality. The corridor's transit transfer rate would increase under all the alternatives. Depending on the alternative selected, up to 2,414 construction jobs would be generated during project implementation and up to 475 transit jobs would be required once the system was operational. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed rail project would displace up to ten single-family and seven multifamily residential units, and six small businesses; disrupt neighborhood and local traffic during construction; impact visual aesthetics; and increase noise and vibration along certain track segments. In addition, construction would result in the loss of up to 1.67 acres of wetlands, 0.31 acres of 100-year floodplain, and several historic structures, and would encroach on archaeologically sensitive areas.

AN - 36408785; 3989 AB - PURPOSE: The conducting of joint military exercises at three facilities in Texas and New Mexico is proposed. The facilities are Fort Bliss in Texas and New Mexico; White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico; and Roswell Industrial Air Center in New Mexico. The exercises, named Rolling Sands, would be conducted once a year for five years, during the third quarter of the federal fiscal year, and would involve ground-to-air and air-to-air defense training executed by the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. Each exercise would involve the use of up to 80 individual sites ranging in size from 2 to 40 acres. Live ammunition would be used at some sites and pyrotechnics would be used elsewhere. Approximately 300 sorties per day would be flown. Participants would include approximately 10,000 personnel from the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Field training would be conducted for approximately two weeks following a one-week deployment period, and the exercises would conclude with a one-week redeployment of forces. Equipment would include approximately 300 airplanes and helicopters, 3,000 wheeled vehicles, 50 tracked vehicles, and other minor equipment. Under the preferred alternative, the Roswell facility would be used solely as a staging area; the actual exercises would be conducted at the other two facilities. The costs for deploying the joint forces to these facilities would be approximately $500,000. The only other alternative under consideration is a No Action Alternative. This draft programmatic EIS broadly considers the environmental effects of these operations for the next five years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed exercises would involve all four service branches and would test our joint air defense operational capabilities. They would be the only military exercises to involve planning and executing multiservice air defense actions. The numerous military installations in the vicinity of Fort Bliss would facilitate the access and support of ground troops, while the extensive infrastructure in the area would facilitate the movement of personnel and equipment. The operations would benefit local economies, generating $7.2 million in sales of local goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The major adverse impact would be the trampling and crushing of vegetation on each site, although each site has previously been disturbed.

Preparation date: April 9, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MANKATO SOUTH ROUTE (BLUE EARTH CSAH 90), BLUE EARTH COUNTY, MINNESOTA. AN - 36409751; 4042 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a two-lane roadway immediately south of the city of Mankato in southern Minnesota is proposed. The proposed South Route would extend for approximately 11 miles from Trunk Highway (TH) 169/160 west of Mankato to TH 83 southeast of Mankato. Travel demand has increased in the area because of increased enrollment at Mankato State University and the development of two shopping centers south of town. It is therefore anticipated that a four-lane facility would be necessary in the future, except in a segment east of TH 22, where two lanes are considered adequate for the future. As a result, this draft EIS considers the effects of a four-lane roadway except in the above-mentioned segment. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the draft EIS. The three build alternatives share a common alignment at each end of the study area but form three separate alignments roughly a half-mile apart in the middle portion. Under all three of the build alternatives, the acquisition of 300 feet of right-of-way would be required wherever possible in order to anticipate the eventual expansion of the roadway to four lanes. A separate ten-foot trail is also proposed within the roadway right-of-way. The roadway would cross the Blue Earth and La Sueur rivers; key intersections include County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 33, TH 66, TH 22, and TH 169. Two design alternatives are under consideration for the TH 169 intersection: an at-grade intersection with a traffic signal and channelization for turning movements, and a grade-separated interchange at two potential sites. The total estimated costs of the build alternatives range from approximately $13.4 million to $15.3 million. The estimated costs of the two TH 169 interchange alternatives are $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed facility would provide east-west access to various sites south of the city of Mankato and reduce traffic congestion downtown and on north-south roads. In addition, the new roadway would reduce travel time and distance, improve safety and traffic operating conditions, provide long-term energy savings and improved access to job and recreational opportunities, increase property values, and promote economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 5 to 12 residences and up to 2 businesses; 414 to 436 acres of farmland would be converted to roadway use, and up to 13.4 acres of wetlands would be filled. Depending on the alternative selected, $10,500 to $16,100 in tax revenues could be lost to Blue Earth County due to the displacement of the residences and businesses and conversion of the farmland. The roadway would transversally encroach upon 1,000 to 1,500 feet of floodplains adjacent to the Blue Earth River and 400 to 550 feet adjacent to the La Sueur River; small tracts of bottomland hardwoods would be lost in both areas. One of the interchange alternatives would require the acquisition of 18 acres of parkland from Minneopa State Park. Noise levels along the roadway would increase substantially, though not in excess of federal standards. Wildlife habitat along the roadway would be disrupted, and special measures would be taken to protect active nests of bank swallows (a protected species) as well as the snow trillium (a plant species of special concern). Preliminary surveys have found 2 historic structures and 22 archaeological sites in the project area; 3 of the archaeological sites are believed to be Indian burial mounds.

Report 1, User's Manual AN - 19250163; 9310863 AB - The WESTEX Model is a dynamic, one-dimensional, numerical energy and mass budget model that predicts the thermal and density stratification patterns in a reservoir. It predicts the distribution of conservative water quality parameters, the release temperature and quality from a selective withdrawal structure, and the impact of the reservoir operation on selected water quality parameters, both within and downstream of the reservoir, on a daily basis. Since the WESTEX model is one-dimensional, it essentially predicts the vertical density and quality stratification immediately upstream of the outlet structure. The WESTEX model does not compute the required quantity of the release, only the most appropriate way to selectively withdraw the release to satisfy water quality considerations. It is assumed that the quantity of release can be predetermined by considerations other than water quality. Although WESTEX is primarily an operations model, it can be used in an interactive manner to design the number and location of ports for a selective withdrawal outlet tower. An initial design of the withdrawal structure can be assumed and the WESTEX model run to predict the ability to the structure design to meet water quality objectives. Based upon the WESTEX results, the structure designs can be modified; that is, additional ports might be added or the existing ports relocated and the process repeated until an acceptable design that achieves water quality objectives is found. Version 3.0 of the WESTEX program is documented in this report for field office use. The report contains descriptions of the thermal stratification processes (Part II), the computational methodologies and the sequence of operations in WESTEX (Parts II and IV), and the description of the required input data and format (Part V). The report also provides a bibliography on applications of the WESTEX model (Appendix A), examples of input files (Appendices B, C and D), example output (Appendices E, F and G), and program error codes (Appendix H).

Dredgers who do turn their attention toward uplands face increasing difficulties acquiring adequate disposal space for their dredged material, particularly in coastal areas, for several additional reasons: dredging project sponsors have to complete with more profitable and more attractive surface uses when trying to persuade private landowners to grant them disposal easements; dredged material disposal is perceived by the public as waste disposal; and leases or easements tend to tie up the land for long periods of time. These difficulties have led the Corps to search for innovative ways to help secure and retain access to real property suitable for upland DMCAs. Among the beneficial uses the Corps has considered to assist the acquisition and retention of disposal sites is operation of an aquaculture facility. The CAAP grew out of these concerns for the continued availability of confined disposal space for the Corps' ongoing dredged material disposal needs. The main purpose of the CAAP is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the concept of containment area aquaculture. It is hoped that the CAAP will facilitate the ability of the Corps and the local sponsor to secure additional acreage for new on-land DMCA sites by making them more competitive, vis-a-vis other potential parties seeking land in coastal areas. Landowners would potentially receive both easement payments from the Corps and local sponsors, but also rental payments from the aquaculturist, and enjoy the benefit of capital improvements on their property by the Corps. Part I consists of three chapters and is designed to give the reader an overview of federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to containment aquaculture; specific states covered are AL, Fl, LA, MD, SC and TX. Part II addresses the legal issues that may be raised by containment area aquaculture. (Lantz-PTT) JF - Available from the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA, 22161.

This report describes design and construction of aquaculture pond facilities in DMCA, reviews design, construction, and operation of DMCA for material disposal, and documents the design and construction of the CAAP Shrimp Farm Demonstration Facility in Brownsville, TX. A complete overview of the entire planning process that leads up to the start of aquaculture facility construction is provided. Reviews are given of: site selection principles, aquaculture engineering concepts; design and construction of aquaculture facilities based on established aquaculture engineering and design principles; incorporation of site conditions; preparation of feasibility and project plans; methods of estimating project costs; and decision making criteria for project implementation. Included is a stepwise guide to aquaculture project planning, including definition of project objectives, iterative planning and preparation of feasibility study, and final project reports. Examples of commercial pond-based production designs used in the United States are presented to illustrate end products of successful planning efforts. DMCA design and operations are briefly reviewed. Design considerations include the dredging and disposal operations, effluent quality, and storage capacity requirements. These, in turn, determine DMCA structural elements. Critical to designing a dual use DMCA facility for aquaculture is an understanding of the management and operation of the DMCA before, during, and after dredging operations.

AN - 36398412; 4063 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reduce the rate of seawater intrusion into groundwater in the Castroville area of the Salinas Valley in California is proposed. The study area is approximately 70 miles long and extends from Bradley to Monterey Bay. In the southern part of the valley, south of Gonzales, the basin is a relatively homogeneous, unconfined aquifer. In the northern part of the valley, the groundwater basin is divided by three distinct clay layers that separate the basin into three aquifers, the 180-foot aquifer, the 400-foot aquifer, and the deep aquifer. Valley groundwater is recharged via the bed of the Salinas River, the deep percolation of rainfall and irrigation water, and underground flow from the surrounding foothills. Virtually all of the water used in the Salinas Valley is groundwater. Of the 25 alternatives originally considered, five were selected for detailed evaluation in the draft EIS: Alternative 1 (No Project), Alternative 2 (Water Supply Project without Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 3 (Proposed Water Supply Project with Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 4 (Arroyo Seco Project), and Alternative 5 (Extraction Barrier). Alternative 3, the plan sponsored by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, was modified for presentation in this final EIS. (The Marina/Fort Ord Water Supply Project portion of the proposed program was eliminated from consideration due to environmental concerns.) In brief, the modified plan would involve construction of a tertiary treatment plant and a conveyance pipeline from the treatment plant to the Castroville irrigation system, plus a water pipeline distribution system to provide reclaimed wastewater primarily to Castroville-area farms for agricultural irrigation. The conveyance pipeline would have a much shorter length than was originally proposed, limiting the overall impact of the project on riparian habitat. In addition, the local agency would acquire or regulate all existing and future wells in the Castroville area to minimize the pumping of groundwater in and near the seawater intrusion areas. The proposed modifications in the plan would mean that Castroville-area farms would rely exclusively on reclaimed wastewater most of the year and on a combination of reclaimed wastewater and groundwater during the summer; there would be no need for increased water deliveries from the Nacimiento and San Antonio reservoirs nor any need for the construction of diversion structures along the Salinas River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Saltwater intrusion into the study area would decline by 44 percent, enabling the provision of a long-term water supply to meet demands for municipal and agricultural interests. The provision of a safe, adequate water supply would allow for the recovery of groundwater levels in the pressure area and the continuation of irrigated farming and municipal development; prevent a decline in agricultural productivity and land values, and an escalation of water costs; preclude legal disputes over water rights; and prevent degradation of water supplies for the city of Salinas. As a result of modifications in the original plan, the permanent loss of wetlands would be reduced from 23 acres to about one acre. Less than one acre of marshland would be temporarily disturbed during construction. Energy use for groundwater pumping would decrease due to higher groundwater levels in the Eastside and the pressure area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In its crossing of the Salinas River, the pipeline connecting to the tertiary treatment plant could temporarily affect sediment load in the river, reducing the feeding efficiency of resident fish and degrading their spawning and rearing habitat. Fish migration could also be temporarily affected. Slightly less than one acre of riparian habitat would be displaced as a result of construction (in contrast to 14.9 acres under the original plan).

AN - 36398449; 4065 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit to Louisiana Dredging Company is proposed for the dredging of buried shell deposits in selected areas of the nearshore Gulf of Mexico, within three miles of the coast, in Saint Mary and Terrebonne parishes, Louisiana. The proposed project area would extend seaward from East Cote Blanche and Atchafalaya bays to the three-mile limit, and be bounded by longitude 91 degrees 20 minutes to the east and longitude 91 degrees 37 minutes to the west. Shells dredged from oyster beds in these waters are used as a construction aggregate for roadbeds, drilling-barge pads, and oyster cultch in poor soil areas found throughout southern Louisiana, and also as a source of calcium carbonate for lime production, chicken feed, pharmaceuticals, and other products. The proposed dredging activity would involve the removal of fossilized reef shells buried beneath the mud line, or bay bottom. The shells would be mined using two cutterhead dredges, which create troughs in the water bottom that average about 300 feet in width and extend to the depth of the reef, generally 17 to 22 feet below the bottom. In operating a dredge, the vessel is positioned over the resource and the swing anchors are set. One spud is set into the bottom. The cutterhead is raised or lowered using the dredge ladder that protrudes from the front of the vessel. The dredge is swung in an arc on the spud so that a path is cut through the buried reef. After the fossil reef is cut, the shell-sediment-water mixture is pumped aboard the dredge and into a hopper where the coarse shell material is captured by flat and drum screens. The shells are then moved by conveyor to the shell barge lashed to the side of the dredging vessel, which transports them ashore. This draft EIS provides details on the proposed project and also considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would have a positive effect on the cost and quality of construction projects in southern Louisiana. In addition, shell dredging would generate revenue for the state in the form of royalties and severance taxes. Some 105 jobs would be provided by shell-dredging operations, along with an additional 315 indirectly associated jobs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly increase phytoplankton because of an increase in suspended nutrients. The holes and troughs created by dredging would last for two or three years, depending on the soil type, hydrologic conditions, area river flows, wind and tide actions, currents, and storms.

AN - 36415380; 4050 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 17-mile highway extending from Interstate 70 (I-70) in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Route 51 in Jefferson Borough, Allegheny County, is proposed. The proposed highway is one of four segments of the Mon-Fayette Transportation Project, which is designed to provide highway improvements between Pittsburgh and Morgantown, West Virginia. The facility would be a multilane, limited-access toll highway with interchanges at four locations. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (the New Alignment Alternative), the highway would be built along a new alignment and have four 12-foot-wide lanes with a 60-foot-wide grass median. Two alternative alignments, the Orange and the Brown, are under consideration for the four sections of this 17-mile segment. Both alignments generally follow the course of the Monongahela River, which is located one to two miles to the east. In the first section, the first toll interchange north of I-70 for both alignments would be located east of Ghennes Heights, and would provide local access to Coyle Curtain Road. In the second section, the Orange Alignment would have a toll interchange east of wetland ""NOJ,'' which would provide local access to Route 136; the Brown Alignment toll interchange would be located along Route 136 east of Ringgold High School and Calvary Cemetery. In the third section, both alignments would have toll interchanges at Finleyville Elrama Road, located several hundred feet apart. In the final section, both alignments would terminate at Route 51 with toll interchanges approximately 0.4 miles apart. Total estimated construction costs are $397 million for the Brown Alignment, $428 million for the Orange Alignment, and $410 million for a combination of the two. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would improve travel time, access, and safety for motorists in the mid-Mon Valley, and would reduce congestion on existing north-south highways, which have poor alignments, steep grades, and inadequate sight distances. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 55 to 122 businesses and residences, 2.59 to 4.03 acres of wetlands, 228 to 326 acres of productive farmland, and 3,495 to 3,631 habitat units. In addition, 500 to 700 acres of forest would be removed, 5,990 to 7,200 linear feet of stream would be adversely impacted, and up to four historic properties in the project area could be affected.

Preparation date: March 26, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND RELOCATION OF NAVY ACTIVITIES TO THE TERRITORY OF GUAM FROM THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. AN - 36388518; 3983 AB - PURPOSE: To accommodate the relocation of its operations and personnel from the Philippines to Guam, the Navy proposes changes in military activities, and the construction of facilities, on Guam. Navy facilities in the Philippines were closed in 1992 because of a decision by the U.S. and Philippine governments not to renew the lease agreement for the U.S. base. As a result, certain operations and support functions have been transferred to Guam to support the Navy's mission in the western Pacific, and approximately 1,380 Navy personnel and 1,450 dependents have been relocated there. Prior to the relocation, approximately 22,575 Navy personnel and dependents were stationed at Guam. Major Navy commands to be relocated to Guam include the Fleet Logistics Support Squadron, Military Sealift Command Sub-Area Commander for Southeast Asia, Naval Special Warfare Unit One, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Five, and Naval Air Pacific Repair Activity. The existing facilities at Guam (Andersen Air Force Base, the Fleet Industrial Support Center, the Ship Repair Facility, the Naval Magazine, Naval Air Station Agana, the Naval Hospital, and the Naval Oceanography Command Center/Joint Typhoon Warning Center) would see an overall increase in ship port calls, supplies, aircraft operations, and health care and other support personnel. Major construction projects under consideration for Andersen Air Force Base include a new hangar, apron, and washrack, and the renovation of officers' quarters. Approximately 19 construction projects would be undertaken at the Apra Harbor Complex, including additions and alterations to the child development center, new warehouses and storage facilities, power plant expansion, 300 additional units of family housing, modifications to the sewage treatment plant, and new administration facilities for selected relocated commands. Missile magazines and an inert storehouse would be built at the Naval Magazine, and the Oceanography Building at Nimitz Hill would be renovated. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded use of the facilities on Guam would be consistent with U.S. policy not to establish new bases on, and to limit the number of U.S. personnel stationed on, foreign soil. The end of the Cold War plus severe reductions in the military budget were also factors contributing to Guam's selection as a relocation site. The relocation would have a positive effect on the local economy, providing an additional $8.1 million annually in tax revenue and U.S. government grants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Population increases would increase the demand for community services, housing, infrastructure, solid waste disposal, and utilities, plus increase traffic congestion, in the area. Families of U.S. personnel would remain separated until new housing could be built. Hazardous waste and materials on Guam would increase by 30 to 40 percent following the relocation. Some harm to the marine environment could occur as a result of runoff from Apra Harbor construction sites; underwater training demolition exercises; oil spills; and the introduction of alien marine organisms from ship ballast water. Marine mammal and sea turtle populations could potentially be affected by some of these occurrences.

Preparation date: March 26, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REPLACEMENT OF LOCKS AND DAMS 52 AND 53 (OLMSTED LOCKS AND DAM), LOWER OHIO RIVER, ILLINOIS AND KENTUCKY (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1985). AN - 36406170; 4067 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of navigation facilities on the lower Ohio River, between river mile (RM) 920.5 at the mouth of the Cumberland River and RM 981 at the confluence with the Mississippi River, in Illinois and Kentucky is proposed. This final supplement to the final EIS of November 1985 addresses design alternatives and design changes that have been made since the final EIS. The final EIS proposed a single replacement structure, with two 110-foot-by-1,200-foot locks. This structure would have replaced locks and dams 52 and 53, also known as Olmsted Locks and Dam. Key design changes since the issuance of the final EIS have resulted from seismic conditions in the vicinity of the project site. Concern developed regarding the possibility of movement of or damage to the originally proposed tainter gate piers during an earthquake. Due to this concern, consideration was given to an all-wicket dam. Development of preliminary construction cost estimates indicated that an all-wicket dam would be less expensive than comparable tainter gates and would not involve the attendant seismic weaknesses. Based on cost information and hydraulic model studies, an all-wicket plan was eventually selected. The currently proposed plan would consist of two 110-foot-by-1,200-foot locks, a 2,200-foot-wide navigable pass/regulatory section controlled by 220 remotely operated hydraulic wickets, and a short section of fixed weir tying the project into the Kentucky riverbank. The position of the two locks along the Illinois riverbank would be 125 feet riverward from the site proposed in the final EIS, in order to create satisfactory approach conditions for river traffic. The somewhat shortened fixed weir would be located along the Kentucky riverbank as originally proposed. In addition, a navigable channel would be dredged along the Kentucky riverbank for use by river traffic during construction associated with the first two of the four stages of the cofferdam, as this construction activity would interfere with navigation along the existing navigable channel. Completion of the locks would be followed eventually by demolition of locks and dams 52 and 53. The project would also include construction of prototype wickets, planned at Smithland Locks and Dam, for testing and evaluating components of the hydraulic wickets. Other changes since the final EIS include implementation of a year-round construction schedule as opposed to a seasonal schedule, increases in dredging requirements, measures to prevent impacts on bald eagles that have established a successful population at the Ballard County Wildlife Management Area in Kentucky, measures to stabilize two landslides identified along the Illinois riverbank, and completion of site assessments for toxic hazardous substances. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce lock congestion and transportation costs and provide a modernized facility for safe and dependable navigation through the study area. Construction activities would provide employment in an economically depressed area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and project facilities could impact populations of an endangered species of mussel, and facilities and operations would have a small impact on the bald eagle population. The clearing of five acres of riparian woodlands could affect the Indiana bat, which is also an endangered species. Project-related noise could affect migratory waterfowl.

AN - 36408849; 4040 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a multilane, limited-access roadway in order to extend State Route (SR) 312 from its current terminus at SR 207 to a connection with US 1 (SR 5) just north of the city of Saint Augustine, Florida, is proposed. The proposed SR 312 extension would be approximately nine miles long and would serve primarily as a bypass route around the congested segments of US 1 in the St. Augustine area. It would serve a secondary function as a north-south traffic artery in the developing areas southwest and west of the city, and provide an alternate route linking the beach areas south of the city with SR 207, County Road 214, and SR 16. Three design alternatives are considered in this draft EIS; all alignments follow a preferred corridor that would minimize impacts to the Glimpse of Glory neighborhood and the Fourmile Swamp. Under Alternative A, a four-lane, limited-access freeway, with four interchange locations, within a 300-foot right-of-way, would be built. Under Alternatives B1 and B2, limited-access rural arterials with six lanes from SR 207 to SR 16 and four lanes from SR 16 to US 1 north within 250-foot right-of-ways would be built. Access would be provided at four locations under Alternative B1 and at eight locations under Alternative B2. Total project costs range from $30.1 million to $54.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the actions would improve north-south traffic flow, reduce traffic congestion, create safer driving conditions, and spur economic development at major crossroads. It would provide a projected average in 2015 of 36,000 daily trips for areas south of SR 16 and 18,000 daily trips for areas north of SR 16. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way requirements would displace 8 to 15 houses, 4 to 12 mobile homes, 6 to 10 businesses, and 73 to 117 acres of wetlands, depending on the alternative selected. The project would encroach on 42 acres of floodplains and 34 acres with a high probability of containing archaeological sites. One of these sites is potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Three to four contaminated sites are located within the project corridor. As many as four noise-sensitive residential sites could experience noise levels that approach or exceed federal standards. Operational impacts during construction would include air and noise pollution, and localized storm water runoff pollution.

AN - 36412925; 4051 AB - PURPOSE: The construction, in a new location, of a section of State Route (SR) 69 from US 64 east of Savannah, Tennessee, to SR 202 south of Decaturville is proposed. The two-lane highway would begin approximately 3.5 miles east of Savannah at US 64 and extend in a northerly direction to its intersection with SR 202 approximately three miles south of Decaturville. The proposal would include a new bridge across the Tennessee River to replace the two ferry crossings now serving the project area; the proposed bridge would have a 48-foot roadway with a one-foot parapet right and left. The proposal would also include the construction of a connector road from the new section of SR 69 by way of Clifton to US 64 at Clifton Junction. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Alternative A, which would be the most westerly route, the bridge would cross the Tennessee River at river mile 166.3, have a main-line length of 21 miles, and require a 12.4-mile connector route improvement. Under Alternative C Modified, which would be the next most westerly route, the bridge would cross the river at river mile 161.9, have a main-line length of 25.7 miles, and require an 8.2-mile connector route improvement. Under Alternative F, which would be the most easterly route, the bridge would cross the river at river mile 158.4 in Clifton, have a main-line length of 29 miles, and require a 6-mile connector route improvement. Total estimated project costs range from $62.6 million for Alternative A to $74.4 million for Alternative F. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would reduce travel time and distance, improve safety and traffic operating conditions, provide long-term energy savings and improved access to job and recreational opportunities, increase property values, and promote economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace 26 to 31 families, 3 to 5 businesses, 4.4 to 7.1 acres of prime farmland, 588 to 602 acres of upland forest, and 1.0 to 9.0 acres of wetlands, depending on the alternative selected. Up to 55 sensitive receptors would be affected by noise levels in excess of federal standards, and up to 16 archaeological sites would be affected by the project. River traffic would be temporarily inconvenienced during bridge construction.

Preparation date: March 19, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, FROM MARTIN COUNTY LINE TO LAKE WORTH INLET AND FROM SOUTH LAKE WORTH INLET TO BROWARD COUNTY LINE: JUPITER/CARLIN SEGMENT (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1987). AN - 36411004; 4064 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a protective and recreational beach along 23.6 miles of badly eroded shoreline located within the limits of Palm Beach County, Florida, is proposed. Under the preferred alternative, beach restoration would occur along the reaches of Tequesta (Reach 1), Jupiter (Reach 3A), Juno (Reach 3B), Riviera Beach and Johnny McGarthur State Park (Reach 3C), Midtown-Palm Beach (Reach 5B), Sloan's/Widner's Curve-Palm Beach (Reach 5C), South Boca Raton (Reach 12), Palm Beach (Reaches 5A and 6), Ocean Ridge (Reach 8), Delray Beach (Reach 9), and North Boca Raton (Reach 10). The restored beach for each reach would be of such dimensions as required to dissipate wave energy seaward of upland property, but existing natural profiles suggest that a berm elevation of ten feet would be adequate to provide protection during all but the most severe storms. Seaward slopes would vary from reach to reach. The width of the restored beach would be controlled at the mean high-water shoreline, which would be moved seaward 25 to 100 feet, depending on the reach in question. To avoid excessive narrowing of the beach during periods of temporary recession, a seven-year advance supply of nourishment, in addition to the sand for the initial beach widening, would be placed in all reaches except Reach 5A, where a two-year supply of advance nourishment would be placed. The project would require an initial fill of 8.4 million cubic yards (mcy) and periodic nourishment of 6.2 mcy. Proposed borrow areas would be located 1,900 to 5,600 feet offshore. This draft supplement to the final EIS of April 1987 proposes the restoration of a critically eroded area south of Jupiter Inlet. The proposed plan would involve dredging 513,000 cubic yards of sand from the easterly side of the ebb tidal shoal offshore from the inlet. The dredged sand would then be placed as fill on 1.08 miles of beach, beginning 400 feet south of the inlet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The entire project would provide seven-year protection against erosion damage, including damage to upland structures, and offset erosion effects; provide effective protection for the tourist-based economy; enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation; and restore some of the zone's ability to provide protection against storms. Beach restoration would increase the annual number of visitors to the area by two million by 1995. Damages to existing structures would be reduced by $19 million annually. Beach habitat would be created for nesting sea turtles and for invertebrate and shorebird species. The project proposed in this draft supplement would provide high-quality sand to a stretch of beach that is seriously eroded, and shore protection for approximately seven years with no significant effect on wave regime. Sand placed within this particular stretch of beach would also feed the down-drift beaches to the south and reduce the need for other beach nourishment projects anticipated in the countywide plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and beach restoration activities would destroy benthic habitat, temporarily increase water turbidity, and possibly injure such endangered species as manatees and sea turtles. The project proposed in this draft supplement would be scheduled outside the peak sea turtle nesting season in order to minimize impacts to this species. The immediate impact to the borrow site would be the temporary defaunation of the benthic community.

Preparation date: March 15, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SALMON RIVER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, SALMON NATIONAL FOREST, SALMON, IDAHO. AN - 36388681; 4041 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Forest Development Road Number 30, which closely parallels the Salmon River in the Salmon National Forest in east-central Idaho, is proposed. The affected road, also known as the Salmon River Road, extends for 46 miles from the town of North Fork west to the Corn Creek campground and boating site. In 1980 Congress designated the Salmon River as a wild and scenic river, and the 46-mile segment within the proposed project area was classified as a recreational river. The Salmon River Road provides launch access and removal points for float-boaters using the Salmon River, and the only feasible access to private lands and numerous side drainages where other resource activities occur. The road is currently paved with an asphalt surface for approximately 16.8 miles and has a gravel surface for the remainder of its length. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. After completion of the final EIS, an alternative would be selected for each of six road segments. Under all three of the action alternatives, eight existing recreation sites would be improved and eight new sites would be developed. Under Alternative B, actions would include a high level of roadway improvements, including paving approximately 29 miles of roadway, widening the roadway through the construction of retaining walls and some minor realignment, and installing guardrails. Under Alternative C, actions would include a moderate level of roadway improvements, including paving 9.8 miles of the existing gravel road, constructing shorter segments of retaining walls than under Alternative B, and applying additional crushed gravel and performing spot paving in some sections (approximately 2.7 miles). Under Alternative D, actions would include a low level of roadway improvements, including paving 3.1 miles of the existing gravel road and applying additional crushed gravel to the remaining 26 miles of gravel roadway; no spot paving would occur under this alternative. A different alternative could be selected for each road segment. The estimated construction costs range from $2.2 million for Alternative D to $3.7 million for Alternative C, and up to $6.8 million for Alternative B. Recreation site developments would cost $1.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvements would facilitate safe travel along the Salmon River Road and enhance the quality of recreational experiences associated with the Salmon River. The improvements would be in compliance with the forest plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The estimated loss of wildlife habitat from the improvements beyond the road prism would range from 0.3 to 9.9 acres. Recreation site improvement and development, as well as development of borrow sites, could disturb an additional 28 acres and 13.5 acres, respectively. The proposed retaining walls associated with Alternative B would encroach upon 2,300 feet of the floodplain, in contrast to those associated with Alternative C, which would only encroach upon 200 feet of the floodplain. Increased turbidity and sedimentation would affect fisheries under all the action alternatives; among the species affected would be two protected species, the sockeye and chinook salmon. Some ponderosa pine would be lost under all the action alternatives, which would affect the unique visual quality of the road and river corridor. Numerous archaeological sites and cultural resources near the road would be affected by the proposed improvements.

AN - 36414084; 4062 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a dam and a 24,000-acre-foot (af) reservoir on the Carmel River approximately 16 miles southeast of Monterey in Monterey County, California, is proposed. Five alternatives, including the No-Project Alternative, are considered in this revised draft supplement to the draft EIS of September 1987. Under the preferred alternative, a roller-compacted concrete dam would be built, with a crest length of 750 to 900 feet, that could be raised to impound as much as 45,000 af of water if it were authorized at some future date. The dam would be located approximately 2,400 feet downstream from the existing Los Padres Dam. The surface area of the reservoir would be 266 acres, and the spillway crest elevation would be 1,130 feet. The reservoir project would also include inlet and outlet structures, fish passage facilities, wells in Carmel Valley and Seaside, a water treatment plant in Begonia, a management plan for allocation and phasing of yield, and the development of passive recreational facilities. A three-million-gallon-per-day desalination plant located at Sand City would be included in the project design. The plant would include reverse osmosis facilities in an existing warehouse; three radial wells (Ranney collectors) extending below the water table, for collecting raw seawater; two Ranney injectors to discharge brine effluent into the shallow dune sand aquifer; pipelines; and storage tanks. Estimated capital costs of the project are $119.9 million; annual operation and maintenance cost estimates are $3.9 million. Included in the revised draft supplement are additional data on site-specific impacts of the desalination plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a municipal water supply that would meet both the short- and long-term needs (through the year 2020) of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and afford drought protection. Numerous employment opportunities would be created by the project during its construction period. Fish spawning activity would increase significantly as a result of the project. Destruction of riparian vegetation in the area would decrease due to increased groundwater flows. Cooler river waters during the summer would benefit steelhead trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Creation of the reservoir would require the inundation of a substantial land area, which would destroy vegetation and associated terrestrial habitat. Affected land would include 23 acres within the Ventana Wilderness; the exchange of 140 acres of adjacent land for the wilderness land would be required. The reservoir would inundate 13 archaeological sites recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as five sites culturally important to the Esselen Tribe. Average residential water rates would increase by $17.79 bimonthly. Construction of the desalination plant would displace the habitat of the snowy plover and black legless lizard, and its operation would generate considerable mechanical noise.

AN - 75666937; 8385815 AB - The growth and toxicity of various Microcystis aeruginosa strains were tested. Six of 14 strains were lethal to mice, five of which produced microcystin. Of these, M. aeruginosa PCC 7806 produced the most toxin per biomass and was thus used to examine the influence of various trace metals on exponential growth rate and production of microcystin. Zinc was shown to be required for optimal growth as well as toxin production. Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Sn did not significantly affect toxin yield at non-toxic concentrations of the metals. In contrast, iron had a pronounced effect on growth rate and toxin yield. In the absence and at low concentrations of Fe (< or = 2.5 microM), the cells grew much more slowly, but produced 20-40% more toxin. This is in agreement with the hypothesis that production of microcystins may be a response to specific environmental stress conditions.

Adsorption isotherms for the aromatic acids showed saturation at high dissolved ligand concentrations; saturation was not observed (over the concentration range examined) for the chlorophenols. Small amounts of heat were produced on reaction of the aromatic acids, the monochlorophenols and propionate (but not of the longer chain fatty acids) with the oxide surface; overall ligand adsorption reactions were exothermic. For adsorption of protonated ligands the favourable enthalpy of reaction was due largely to the exothermic proton transfer reaction between phenolic hydroxyl groups of the ligands and hydroxide ions displaced from the oxide surface. The enthalpy corresponding with the ligand-exchange reaction of surface hydroxyl groups for the various ligands (as fully deprotonated species) appeared to be related to the ligand structure. The surface ligand-exchange reaction was more largely to the exothermic proton transfer reaction between phenolic hydroxyl groups of the ligands and hydroxide ions displaced from the oxide surface. The enthalpy corresponding with the ligand-exchange reaction of surface hydroxyl groups for the various ligands (as fully deprotonated species) appeared to be related to the ligand structure. The surface ligand-exchange reaction was more exothermic for the dicarboxylic acid phthalate than for the monocarboxylic acids benzoate or propionate or for salicylate, and was endothermic for the chlorophenols.

The REMR design for precast stay-in-place forms, placement techniques, installation of anchors, concrete removal techniques, and underwater concrete placement methods enabled the efficient and cost-effective replacement of deteriorated concrete with a durable, abrasion-resistant concrete surface. These concrete precast panels are far superior to those surfaces previously repaired using conventional concreting methods at the Troy Lock. The reduced forming requirements (erection, insulating, removing, and movement) provided time and cost benefits. Jacketing of the riverside of the river wall also resulted in substantial savings by eliminating concrete removal costs. Additional savings resulted from the ability to install the riverside precast panels without dewatering. The results achieved at the Troy Lock and Dam project demonstrate the advantages that stay-in-place forming can provide for similar concrete repair applications.

To alleviate these adverse conditions, trenchless technology can offer cost-effective and safe alternatives for infrastructure renewal and rehabilitation. One form of trenchless technology currently being investigated at Waterways Experiment Station is micro-tunneling. Micro-tunneling can be described as a remotely controlled, guided, pipe-jacking process. The guidance system is usually a laser mounted in the jacking pit with a target mounted inside the articulated steering head of the micro-tunneling machine. Two different types of micro-tunneling system were conducted, i.e. auger and slurry, under the same ground conditions. Auger micro-tunneling tests were conducted between 8-26 September 1992, using a Soltau RVA250 machine, with an outer diameter of approximately 26.3 in. During the auger micro-tunneling trials, approximately 312 ft of tunneling was performed over a period of 12 days for an average of 26 ft/d. Mobilization and installation required 6 days. Demobilization and site cleanup required 3 days. Slurry micro-tunneling tests were conducted between 28 September and 31 October 1992, using an Iseki Unclemole Z TCZ, with an outer diameter of 26 in. During the slurry machine test, approximately 216 ft of tunneling was performed over a period of 21 days, for an average of 10 ft/d. Mobilization and installation required 6 working days, while demobilization and site cleanup required 4 working days. Maximum horizontal and vertical deviations were <1-1/4 in. for the auger machine, and < 1 in. in all cases, and typically < 1/2 in. for the slurry machine. For the slurry machine test, measured ground movements were < 1/4 in. throughout the 216 ft drive, as measured at all levels, and were typically within the level of instrument precision. For the auger machine test, significant ground movements were measured at a few locations, specifically in a flooded sand section.

However, large voids may develop between units as the result of cross-sectional design or structural degradation through time (e.g. loss of core stone or settlement) and may impair structure functionality. A grout made from a portland-cement slurry and a sodium-silicate solution was used to seal the voids in the Port Everglades, FL, south jetty, and a sodium silicate-diacetin mixture was used to stabilize the sand layer beneath the rubble-mound structure. The purpose of sealing the jetty was to eliminate transmission of sand through the structure into the navigation channel. Prior to sealing, 'man-sized' voids existed in the structure, impairing its function as a terminal groin for beach fill placed south of the structure. Continual erosion of the beach located immediately down-coast, owned by the State of Florida, prompted Broward County and the State to fund a jetty rehabilitation project and subsequent beach fill of the adjacent south beach. A monitoring plan to ascertain the effectiveness of the project through a field evaluation was conducted by the Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center, with the cooperation of Broward County, the State and the sealing contractor. Because of non-uniformity between pre-sealing and post-sealing flow conditions, these flow conditions had to be analyzed individually. It was determined that there was at least a 90% probability that a significant difference existed in flow through the structure. Post-construction evaluations conducted during the monitoring of the Port Everglades, FL, south jetty sealing project indicated that the transmissibility of the structure has been significantly reduced. The change in average current vector direction, measured during peak flood, high water slack, and peak ebb conditions, indicated that the structure was much more reflective in the post-sealing condition and, therefore, less transmissible.

The sublethal test endpoint was estimated with the individual somatic growth rate (mg dry weight/d). The te st was initiated with two- to three-week- old post-emergent juvenile worms and continued for 28 d. The potential bias due to selected nontreatment factors on polychaete survival and growth was evaluated. For example, grain size had no significant effect, whereas the number of worms placed in each exposure vessel was critical. Direct transfer from 30 ppt (parts per thousand) seawater to salinities /=0.7 mg/L unionized ammonia or >/=5 mg/L hydrogen sulfide. Survival of juvenile worms to concentrations of the reference toxicant, cadmium chloride, approximating the 96-hr LC50 (5 mg/L) was used as a quality control measure. Results are expressed in control chart format analogous to methods used in analytical chemistry.

MARIE, MICHIGAN: OPENING OPERATION OF THE LOCK FACILITIES ON 21 MARCH (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT III TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 1977). AN - 36409496; 3971 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the period of operation of the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, is proposed to allow additional vessel transits in response to the reasonable demands of commerce. Currently, annual operations are terminated after January 8 (with a possible extension to January 15). This third draft supplement to the final EIS of July 1977 addresses a proposed change in the plan of operation of the federal facilities at Sault Ste. Marie. Specifically, it proposes that the winter closure period be shortened by commencing operation of the locks up to two weeks prior to the April 1 start-up date specified in federal regulations (33 CFR 270.440 (u)). The locks have traditionally not been operated during the winter season because of ice conditions on the upper Great Lakes connecting channels, namely the St. Marys River, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River. However, during the 1970s the locks were operated year-round as part of a demonstration program. From 1980 to 1992, the Corps of Engineers evaluated industry requests for early operation of the locks on a year-by-year basis; those requests were always granted. Three alternatives are considered in this draft supplemental EIS: retaining the April 1 start-up date; selecting a start-up date between March 15 and April 1 based on ice and weather conditions; and fixing a new start-up date between March 15 and April 1. The preferred alternative is to commence operation of the locks on March 21; that proposal has a benefit-cost ratio of 2.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The extension of lock operations would benefit industry and commercial navigation by allowing for greater use of low-cost waterborne transportation to and from Lake Superior ports and reducing winter stockpiling costs. Industrial and commercial shipping concerns could take advantage of the ten days of additional shipping time proposed under the preferred alternative for vessel traffic passing through the Sault locks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Deer on Neebish and Sugar islands could be adversely affected during years in which traffic levels through the locks were significantly increased over normal traffic levels. High traffic levels could result in the blockage of deer attempting to cross the shipping channel to Neebish Island in late March. Some Neebish Island deer could be prevented from browsing on St. Joseph Island. Benthic communities, water quality, and submerged aquatic plants could be adversely affected within the St. Marys River, which has relatively narrow channels and is usually ice-covered during the proposed period of early lock operations. Some shore structures located near the navigation channel in the St. Marys River could be subjected to increased winter damage.

AN - 36409528; 3977 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of flow regimes associated with eight projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is proposed in order to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon upstream to Brownlee Reservoir on the middle Snake River in Idaho, and farther upstream to Arrow Lakes on the upper Columbia River in Canada. The water management actions under consideration would be implemented at three storage reservoirs (Dworshak, Grand Coulee, and Brownlee) and five mainstream run-of-river dams operated by the Corps of Engineers. The dams are operated to meet multiple purposes, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. This final supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 responds to two actions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): in November 1991, NMFS declared the Snake River sockeye salmon an endangered species, and in April 1992, NMFS listed the Snake River fall and spring /summer chinook salmon as a threatened species. In taking these actions, NMFS identified hydropower development within the Columbia River Basin as one of the factors contributing to the decline of salmon populations. The final EIS had recommended increasing the velocity of river flow to move the juvenile salmon downstream more rapidly and reduce their exposure to predators, but the scope of that EIS was limited to actions to be implemented in 1992. This final supplement considers the implementation of flow improvement measures for 1993 and subsequent years. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in the final supplement. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), most actions occurring during the 1992 operating year would be recommended for 1993 and thereafter, except for the March drawdown test. These actions include lowering pool elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration, and discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. Volumes to be discharged under the Snake River flow augmentation plan include 900,000 acre-feet (af) in the spring (if the runoff forecast is above 16 million af; otherwise one million af) and 470,000 af in the summer from Dworshak; 137,000 af in July and 100,000 af in September from Brownlee; and 190,000 af in the spring, 137,000 af in August, and 100,000 af in September from the upper Snake River. Under the Columbia River flow augmentation plan, up to three million af would be discharged from Grand Coulee and the upper Columbia River. The estimated direct costs for the operation of the preferred alternative range from $66 million to $93 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Drawdown of the reservoirs would have an adverse effect on resident fish populations. The lowered pool elevations and flow augmentation actions would result in lost hydroelectric generation and operating flexibility, which in turn would probably result in the necessity of purchasing some power from outside the region. The exposure of reservoir shorelines as a result of drawdowns would detract from their aesthetic quality. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Preparation date: February 25, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UNION PASS ROAD, BRIDGER-TETON NATIONAL FOREST, WYOMING. AN - 36414014; 3956 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of Union Pass Road, a connecting road between Pinedale and Dubois, Wyoming, in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, is proposed. The present alignments of Union Pass Road, which was built to accommodate the harvest of timber from the Mosquito-Tepee sale, and another connecting road to Green River Lakes Road, which was built to accommodate the Louisiana-Pacific Corp.'s harvest of timber from the Little Sheep Mountain sale, impinge on private property, cause excessive siltation into Tosi and Tepee creeks, and present safety hazards for motorists. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the existing portion of Union Pass Road from the southern forest boundary to Tosi Creek Bridge, including the segment that crosses the Green River at the existing Kendall Bridge and extends along the west side of the Green River to Tosi Creek Bridge, would be reconstructed. The portion of Union Pass Road from Tosi Creek Bridge to Bacon Ridge would be relocated. The new construction would begin at Tosi Creek Bridge just east of the Retel property. Tosi Creek Bridge would be replaced with a 60-foot-long, 28-foot-wide bridge. The road would head north for a quarter-mile and then follow the ridge line that is northeast of the existing alignment until it connected with the existing Union Pass Road on the east side of Bacon Ridge. A total of 4.9 miles of single-lane road with turnouts would be built, and a total of 11.6 miles of the roadway would be improved. Current erosion and water problems would be corrected primarily by closing and rehabilitating road sections between Snook Moore Road and the existing Union Pass Road at Bacon Ridge, performing spot surfacing and drainage modifications along the private in-holdings access road, and building cattle guards at bridge approaches and fence lines. A half-mile portion of the existing road north of Tosi Creek Bridge would be obliterated to reduce soil erosion. Access to private property would be provided. Construction, monitoring and mitigation, and related activities under the proposal would cost $2,076,855. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the current legal access problem would be solved by relocating the road away from private property holdings. The recreation industries of Dubois and Pinedale would benefit from the increased access to the Upper Green River area. Future maintenance costs under the preferred alternative would be minimal compared with those under alternatives. The preferred alternative also has the lowest potential to adversely affect the habitats of the federally endangered bald eagle and Kendall Warm Springs dace. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Improved road conditions could result in increased traffic, which could cause conflicts between traffic and trailing livestock. The increased traffic could also result in the increased risk of vandalism to the Kendall Warm Springs dace population and habitat. Construction would cause temporary erosion and sedimentation increases, air quality impacts, and the displacement of fish and wildlife.

Preparation date: February 24, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED LOCK REPLACEMENT AT WINFIELD LOCKS AND DAM, KANAWHA RIVER NEAR ELEANOR, PUTNAM COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1986). AN - 36413048; 3979 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a lock replacement at the Winfield Locks and Dam on the Kanawha River near Eleanor in Putnam County, West Virginia, is proposed. The Winfield Locks and Dam facility is located at Kanawha River mile 31.1, approximately 27 miles downstream from Charleston. The size of the existing locks is inadequate to accommodate the longer and wider tows in use. The preferred alternative would involve adding an additional lock at the existing project site, continuing to use the riverward lock, and deactivating the present landward lock. The new lock would be 800 by 110 feet. Channel widening downstream from the existing Winfield project also is recommended as part of the improvement plan. Mitigation measures would include on-site, in-kind replacement of a stream, 21 acres of wetland habitat, and 60 acres of high-quality farmland. In addition to the 22 acres of land already owned by the government at the Winfield Locks, the plan would require the acquisition of approximately 36 acres of land for construction of the new lock and approaches and another 145 acres for the disposal of excavated material. Facilities to safely accommodate the public would also be included in the plan. This final supplement to the final EIS addresses the realignment of the proposed new lock. The realignment was determined to be necessary as a result of hydraulic modeling studies which indicated that the alignment proposed in the final EIS would result in unsatisfactory navigational conditions at high-river stages. The realignment project would require the acquisition of 135 additional acres of land for channel alignment and spoil disposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new lock would virtually eliminate delays of tows waiting for passage outside the project approach areas. This in turn would effectively end the recurring disturbance of near-shore habitat by moored tows. Safety would also be improved due to the efficient movement of traffic and the minimization of congestion. The site would be managed as a wildlife area by the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The required acquisition of 135 additional acres of land for the realignment project would in turn require the relocation of the Noffsinger Cemetery; the development of new wetlands as replacement habitat for the loss of 20 acres of marginal wetlands; and the cleanup of 22 acres of hazardous and toxic materials at the former American Car Foundry, Inc., facility. For the original project, as described in the final EIS, the required acquisition of 181 acres would result in the loss of streams, wildlife habitat, wetlands, a small pond, and prime farmland. Archaeological sites would be impacted, and families occupying mobile and modular homes would be displaced. The lock would also result in some minor adverse impacts to small streams and the Kanawha River. According to this final supplement, the above-mentioned impacts described in the final EIS would be fully mitigated.

Preparation date: February 24, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW MADRID NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, NEW MADRID COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 36409935; 3937 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) of waterfowl habitat in New Madrid County, Missouri, is proposed. The proposed New Madrid National Wildlife Refuge would be located on floodplain lands in the St. Johns Bayou and Eagles Nest basins. The refuge would be managed to provide and protect habitat for waterfowl, migratory birds, endangered species, and other wildlife; to restore bottomland forests and wetlands; and to improve outdoor recreation and education opportunities. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative F), FWS would purchase 16,600 acres in fee title from willing sellers, using money from the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund, over a 20- to 50-year period. A commitment to limit cropland reduction to a specified level for 25 years would be included to soften impacts on the local agricultural economy. A 125-acre fishing lake would also be built. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would contribute to the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, which calls for acquisition and management of up to 144,000 acres along the Mississippi River for mallard duck migration and wintering habitat. Former swampland habitat of the mallard duck and bottomland forest habitat of the wood duck would be restored. Other wildlife would also benefit from habitat improvement. Outdoor recreation and related employment opportunities in the area would increase. Revenue-sharing payments to New Madrid County would greatly exceed present taxes collected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would remove 4,620 acres from cropland production for 25 years, and an additional 9,840 from production thereafter. Tax revenues collected by the St. Johns Levee and Drainage District and St. Johns Bayou Drainage District would decline.

Preparation date: February 22, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER STEELE BAYOU PROJECT, YAZOO BASIN, MISSISSIPPI (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE REVISED FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1977). AN - 36414151; 3972 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures within two segments of the Upper Steele Bayou Project in the Yazoo Basin in Mississippi is proposed. Flood problems in the Upper Steele Bayou area are significant. Damages total more than $4.5 million annually, including $1 million in the city of Greenville. In addition, almost 66,000 acres of agricultural lands are subject to annual inundation. This final supplement to the final EIS of September 1977 identifies the specific flood control measures which would be taken. Under the proposed plan, approximately 25.3 miles of Main Canal would undergo channel enlargement to a maximum bottom width of 60 feet to convey approximately 70 percent of the existing flows from upstream of Greenville. In addition, two laterals and two in-stream weirs would be improved to enhance urban flood control. Greenville would be provided with 100-year-frequency protection, and agricultural areas south of the city would be provided with five-year-frequency protection. Because of the environmental sensitivity of Leroy Percy State Park, proposed work along the lower 6.3 miles of Black Bayou would be limited to selective clearing and snagging. Upstream from this reach, and throughout the bayou's remaining 30.2-mile length, its bottom would be deepened by two feet and one bank would be cleared. Approximately 30 percent of the existing flows from upstream of Greenville would be carried in Black Bayou. The proposed dredging and clearing would provide a frequency level of protection to agricultural areas of two to three years. Project features would include 78 small grade/water control structures along the stream banks within rights-of-way, and 250 acres (over 10.2 miles) of riparian forest buffers along the lower reaches of Black Bayou and Main Canal. Approximately 5,250 acres of frequently flooded agricultural lands would be acquired in fee title and reforested to compensate for wetland and terrestrial habitat losses. The estimated cost of the proposed plan is $31.5 million and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.5. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, the risks of costly flooding on both urban and agricultural lands would be substantially reduced. The flood control measures identified in this final supplement are economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. Features are incorporated which reduce maintenance requirements and sediment inflow while concurrently providing improved habitat for fish and wildlife. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, approximately 424 acres of wooded wetlands and 63 acres of farmed wetlands would be lost due to right-of-way impacts. These losses would be in addition to the 2,204 acres of bottomland hardwoods displaced since construction commenced in 1976.

Preparation date: February 18, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IH 94-GREEN BAY (ABBOTSFORD-MARATHON CITY), STH 29, CLARK AND MARATHON COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36409391; 3955 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 from just west of Abbotsford, Wisconsin, to just west of Marathon City is proposed. The 25-mile project would extend from Division Avenue, which is located three miles west of Abbotsford, to Martin Lane, which is located three miles west of Marathon City. The westerly three miles of the project, from Division Avenue to STH 13 in Abbotsford, would be in Clark County, and the remaining 22 miles, from STH 13 in Abbotsford to Martin Lane, would be in Marathon County. The proposed action would upgrade the existing two-lane roadway to a four-lane, divided highway. The highway would be built as a rural-type facility with two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot median. The median area would include inside shoulders and a V-sloped grassed area, which would serve as a safety zone and provide drainage. The roadway would have ten-foot outside shoulders and six-foot median shoulders. The roadway pavement would be concrete over an open-graded base course. Drainage facilities would include open ditches, culverts, and structures. Four main alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS, along with several combinations of alignments, bypasses, and interchanges. Under the preferred alternative (the Build on Alignment with a South Bypass Alternative), two new lanes parallel to the existing roadway, with a southern bypass around Abbotsford, would be built. The bypass, which would be the only section of the highway to deviate from the existing alignment, would begin in the vicinity of Badger Avenue west of the city and continue southeasterly to intersect with STH 13 about one mile south of the existing STH 29/13 intersection. It would then proceed northeasterly and intersect with the existing alignment near Maple Road. Grade-separated interchanges would be built at STH 29's intersections with STH 13, STH 97, and County Trunk Highway ""H.'' The highway's existing at-grade intersections with all of the remaining county trunk highways would be improved. Town roads that would have access to STH 29 terminated are Popple, Gierl, Butternut, Corlad, Aspen, and Weinkauf roads. The remaining town road intersections would be reconstructed as at-grade intersections with right- and left-turn lanes on STH 29. Most existing driveways and field access points would also be connected to the new highway. Depending upon the build alternative selected, rights-of-way acquisitions would involve 242 to 510 acres, and total construction costs would be $60 million to $62 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: STH 29 is the principal east-west route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Interstate 94 and Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, to the west with Green Bay and Fox River Valley to the east. High traffic volumes, including a high volume of trucks, combined with many local and private access points create a high risk of severe accidents and a low level of service, which would be exacerbated by the forecast escalation in traffic volume. Reconstruction of this segment of STH 29 would provide an uninterrupted and safer 55-mile-per-hour facility between key highways and would reduce traffic delays. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, strip purchases along wetlands and agricultural lands would be required. Depending upon the build alternative bypass selected, rights-of-way requirements would displace 329 to 338 acres of farmland, 60 to 95 acres of wetlands, and 49 to 51 acres of woodland; cross 14 stream; and relocate 47 to 49 residences and 17 to 20 businesses. Noise levels for some residences and farms would exceed federal noise standards, and sound barriers would be too expensive to be practical.

Preparation date: February 16, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN GABRIEL CANYON SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36397371; 3966 AB - PURPOSE: The removal of sediment from three reservoirs managed by the Los Angeles Department of Public Works is proposed. The reservoirs, Cogswell, San Gabriel, and Morris, are formed from the San Gabriel River as it flows through the Angeles National Forest. They provide flood protection and water conservation to the cities of Azusa, Duarte, Irwindale, and Glendora, California, located to the south of the project area. Because sediment has accumulated in these reservoirs over many years, the flood protection they provide has been significantly reduced. Presently, sediment occupies 27 percent of the Cogswell reservoir, 18 percent of the San Gabriel reservoir, and 32 percent of the Morris reservoir. The proposed sediment management plan consists of a series of alternatives involving six sediment disposal sites. Two types of sediment clean-outs would be performed under the plan. Maintenance clean-outs would be conducted at periodic intervals between storm seasons to remove sediment at an overall rate that would equal the average annual inflow quantities. Major clean-outs would be conducted over a period of one to two years to remove sediment that enters the reservoirs when heavy rains follow a watershed burn, or as a result of a sudden increase in the sediment accumulation rate. Clean-out alternatives would involve sluicing, dredging, and drawing down the reservoirs to expose the sediment that requires excavation; disposal methods under consideration involve the use of trucks, conveyor systems, and slurry pipelines. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Maintaining the present flood control and water conservation capacities through sediment removal would protect the San Gabriel Valley and downstream locations from catastrophic floods that could result from a major storm. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Reservoir drawdowns and sluicing would increase turbidity, sediment loads, and suspended solids, and decrease dissolved oxygen in the West Fork occasionally, thereby adversely affecting fish and vegetation. Drawdowns would also diminish aesthetic and recreational uses of the reservoirs during their peak season of use. Conveyor and trucking operations would emit pollutants that would exceed air quality thresholds during worst-day operations. Dredging and other equipment could spill fuels, oils, and other contaminants into waterways. Construction activities would adversely affect three historic sites in the area.

Preparation date: February 4, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CODY TO YELLOWSTONE HIGHWAY, US HIGHWAY 14/16/20, PARK COUNTY, WYOMING. AN - 36412880; 3957 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement to 27.5 miles of US 14/16/20 from west of Cody, Wyoming, to Yellowstone National Park are proposed. The highway is one of five principal points of access to the park, and over half a million visitors annually enter the park via the highway. The section of the highway slated for improvement is located entirely within the Shoshone National Forest and follows the North Fork of the Shoshone River. The highway was built in the 1930s, and in May 1991 was designated a scenic byway by the Forest Service. From 1980 to 1991, 187 accidents occurred along the 27.5 miles of the highway under consideration; two of those accidents involved fatalities. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under Build Alternative A, the existing highway would be improved in its current location. The improved highway would consist of two 12-foot lanes, two 6-foot shoulders, a clear zone, and shifts of 40 feet or less off the existing centerline of the road. In a few locations, the 50-mile-per-hour (mph) design speed would not be achieved. Design standards would be compromised in four locations (mileposts 13.5, 15.7, 23.6, and 26.5) in order to minimize impacts to the landscape. Build Alternative B is identical to Alternative A throughout 19.5 miles, or 71 percent, of the project's length. The remaining eight miles would be reconstructed in alternate locations under Alternative B, with ""alternate location'' being defined as any shift off the current centerline of 40 feet or more. Such a shift would occur in 12 locations, including two or three new crossings of the North Fork of the Shoshone River. A 50-mph design speed would be maintained throughout the project's entire length; design standards would be compromised in the same four locations as under Alternative A. The Forest Service is considering two related alternatives that would involve renovating recreational facilities along the highway or developing new ones. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would reduce existing hazardous driving conditions for visitors entering Yellowstone from the east and result in a facility built, for the most part, to current design standards with sufficient capacity to accommodate projected traffic for the next 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The highway would encroach on 2.8 to 3.8 acres of floodplains, displace 2.0 to 2.5 acres of wetlands, and disturb 262 to 328 acres of land. Seven public campgrounds, picnic areas, or interpretive sites would be adversely affected by the proximity of highway construction. Wildlife would be temporarily adversely affected during construction, and some species would experience a permanent loss (131 to 139 acres) of crucial winter range. Eight historic or archaeological properties would be adversely impacted by Alternative A; four, by Alternative B.

It is a companion to the Instruction Report 'Sampling Design for Reservoir Water Quality Investigations'. Four programs were developed to assist the user with problems with sampling design and its evaluation. The programs aid the decision-making process in sampling design through the use of decision matrices (the DECMATRX program). Sampling design evaluation is performed using variance component analysis (the VARCOM program), error analysis (the ERROR program), and cluster analysis (the CLUSTER program). The purpose of this user's manual and the SDS disk provided with it is to assist the user in the implementation of these programs and is not intended to provide instruction on the assumptions and calculation methods of the statistical techniques used by these programs. The Bibliography presents a number of sources for basic statistics, sampling design, and more advanced statistical topics.

Some of these disposal sites are now full, and plans are under way to cover the disposal area with dredged material and, later, to establish vegetation. The capping process, however, poses some environmental concerns that must first be cleared through the Texas Department of Water Resources. These concerns relate to whether there is any rate of upward migration of soluble salts (if any) from the bauxite residue into the dredged material under normal environmental conditions, and what the effect is of dredged material depth, sand layer, and geotextile placement interface on plant growth and soil chemical properties. The research currently being conducted to address these concerns can be classified into three parts: laboratory geochemical and geotechnical analyses, field study, and computer-based numerical study. At this stage of research, it is too early to draw significant conclusions. The ideal barrier to be used as the interface should have minimum vertical permeability and maximum horizontal permeability. Final results will be obtained after comparisons of the laboratory, field, and computer modeling results.

AN - 36414122; 3962 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of the Navy Ocean Disposal Site, located offshore from San Francisco, California, as the site for the disposal of dredged material from new construction dredging at Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda and Naval Supply Center (NSC) Oakland, both located on the east side of San Francisco Bay, is proposed. NAS Alameda is located on the bay at the west end of the city of Alameda. NSC Oakland is located on the bay at the west end of the city of Oakland. At NAS Alameda, the new dredging would deepen carrier berthing areas to 50 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW); the current depth of these areas is 42 feet below MLLW. At NSC Oakland, the new dredging would deepen the present maintenance level for supply ships from 35 feet to 38 feet below MLLW, and to 41 feet below MLLW in pier and channel areas. Dredging quantities would be approximately 350,000 cubic yards (cy) at NAS Alameda and 850,000 cy at NSC Oakland. This final supplement to the final EIS of August 1990 presents additional analysis of the Navy Ocean Disposal Site. The site, which occupies approximately 3.2 nautical square miles, is located approximately 55 nautical miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge in the southwest corner of the former Chemical Munitions Dumping Area, on the lower continental slope, at a water depth of 2,900 meters. Throughout a six- to nine-month period, approximately 1.2 million cy of dredged material would be transported to the site by split-hull, oceangoing barges. The area of seafloor impacted would be minimized by the use of precise navigational equipment, disposal operations logs, and operations reviews to ensure that each barge load was deposited in the same location each time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deeper channel depths would provide adequate clearance for aircraft carriers and supply ships entering NAS Alameda and NSC Oakland, respectively. The proposed disposal site, because it is located off the continental shelf, is not a prime fishing area; furthermore, it has been used as a waste disposal site in the past. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed disposal would result in sediment accumulation of up to 10.5 inches. Pelagic marine organisms directly beneath disposal barges could be engulfed by descending materials, while sessile benthic organisms in the project area could be smothered by sediment.

AN - 36404678; 3951 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an arterial highway link in east Hickory, North Carolina, is proposed. The multilane highway, to be called the Hickory East Side Thoroughfare, would extend approximately seven miles. It would begin at North Carolina (NC) 127 north of Hickory, connect to Interstate 40 (I-40) east of Hickory, and continue to US 70 in the vicinity of Startown Road. The highway would include a grade separation structure at Highland Avenue and the Southern Railway tracks, an interchange at I-40, a five-lane section with a continuous left-turn lane, and a four-lane divided section with a grass median. Eight alternative alignments for the highway are being considered in this final EIS. Each alternative comprises various combinations of six distinct corridor segments, each 400 feet wide. Build Alternative 1 has been selected as the preferred alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the highway would follow the alignment identified in the state Transportation Improvement Program and in the Hickory-Newton-Conover Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan. This final EIS is an abbreviated EIS containing corrections to the draft EIS, additional details on the preferred alternative, and responses to public comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The thoroughfare would help the area meet transportation demands through the year 2010, relieving congestion on existing roads and improving highway safety; advance the objectives of the planned loop system identified in the Hickory-Newton-Conover Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan; maintain air quality within state and federal standards; and improve access to and between residential neighborhoods, industrial areas, and commercial centers. In addition, development would be encouraged in accordance with the local land development plan, and the tax base would be improved. Substantial monetary user benefits would result. Actions under the preferred alternative would provide the highest user benefits of all the alternatives being considered, including the highest traffic utilization rate, net user savings, and benefit-cost ratio. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In addition to the residential and business relocations, increases in traffic noise, probable encounter with underground storage tanks containing hazardous substances, and displacement of prime farmland discussed in the draft EIS, the preferred alternative would result in the loss of 0.72 acres of wetlands. The preferred alternative would also cross six streams and their associated tributaries and result in the relocation of approximately 220 feet of stream.

Preparation date: January 22, 1993 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONFINED DISPOSAL FACILITY PROJECT, CLEVELAND HARBOR, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO (SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO LETTER REPORT OF JANUARY 1987). AN - 36405157; 3976 AB - PURPOSE: The clearing and disposal of polluted sediments from federal navigation channels in Cleveland Harbor in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is proposed. The harbor is located at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River on the south shore of Lake Erie. Currently, approximately 300,000 cubic yards (cy) of material is dredged from the harbor's navigation channel each year. Most of this material is classified as polluted and unsuitable for open-lake discharge. The material is discharged into the Site 14 confined disposal facility (CDF) located adjacent to the east entrance channel of the harbor. Because this CDF is nearly full, a new CDF or alternative measures are needed to keep the channel clear. The preferred alternative involves construction and use of a new stone rubble-mound, diked CDF, designated as Site 10B, to be located just northwest of and adjacent to the Burke Lakefront Airport. The new CDF would be 68 acres in size and have the capacity to hold approximately 3.84 million cy of consolidated dredged material, giving it an effective project life of about 15 years. Six sewer line outflows would be relocated or extended through the site at a cost of $3.98 million; this cost would be borne by local sponsors. The total estimated construction cost of the project is $32.88 million; the benefit-to-cost ratio is 1.78. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development and use of Site 10B would have a positive, stimulative effect on community and regional growth, business and industry, and employment and income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging, the disposal of dredged material, and the construction of the stone dike would result in temporary localized turbidity, the resuspension of sediment in the water column, and the disruption or destruction of benthic and planktonic organisms in the channel and disposal site.

AN - 36396792; 3974 AB - PURPOSE: The restoration of a protective and recreational beach along the reach of shore between Asbury Park and Manasquan in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is proposed. The proposed action is Section II of the ""Atlantic Coast of New Jersey from Sandy Hook to Barnegat Inlet Beach Erosion Control,'' a federal project first authorized under the River and Harbor Act of 1958. Under the proposed action, nine miles of beach would be filled with 4,864,700 cubic yards (cy) of sand, and the beach would be renourished with 2,639,400 cy every six years. Material for the construction and periodic renourishment of the project would be obtained from offshore borrow areas. The designed beach berm would be 100 feet wide and have an elevation of ten feet above mean low water. Twenty existing groins would be notched in order not to interfere with littoral drift, and several drainage outfalls would be extended seaward. The initial project cost would be $48,060,500; the federal portion of the initial cost would be $31,501,600. Combined initial and renourishment costs over the 50-year project life would be approximately $263.15 million. Twelve alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are described in this draft EIS; only the proposed action is currently under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Over the years, erosion has seriously reduced the ability of the shoreline in the project area to provide adequate protection from coastal storms, inundation from ocean surges and the flooding of the Manasquan River, and wave attack. Continuation of this trend will increase the potential for economic losses, as the regional economy relies heavily on recreational beach usage, and the threat to human life and safety. The project would reduce storm damage and benefit recreational resources. Discounted average annual benefits would be $5.686 million for damage reduction, $279,000 for land erosion reduction, $2.528 million for reduced maintenance, and $3.385 million for recreation, resulting in a benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.4. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would cause the temporary disturbance of biotic habitats in the sand borrow areas and along the littoral zone in the immediate area of beach renourishment.

AN - 36409618; 3975 AB - PURPOSE: The operation and maintenance activities along the floodway of the Rio Grande from Velarde, New Mexico, to areas within the conservation pool elevations of Elephant Butte Reservoir and Caballo Dam are proposed. Velarde is located 85 miles northeast of Albuquerque in north-central New Mexico, and Caballo Dam is located approximately 20 miles south of the town of Truth or Consequences in the south-central part of the state. The project area is 286 river miles long, and is confined by parallel levees, levee and river bluffs, or bluffs at various restrictions. This draft supplement to the final EIS of March 1977 examines a mix of river maintenance techniques that would have a more positive effect than past practices had on the river's geomorphology and environment. Past practices consisted primarily of floodway vegetative clearing, pilot channeling, and construction of jetty fields; channel maintenance relied heavily on the removal of islands and bars. The proposed action in this draft supplement is to implement the following maintenance techniques selectively throughout ten reaches of the river: (1) bank stabilization measures, including the use of revetments, curve reshapings, and plantings to stabilize riverbanks; (2) river training works for influencing flow alignment and controlling and managing overbank flows; (3) sediment removal to maintain flow capacity; (4) vegetation control to increase the floodway's capacity to pass high flows; (5) snag removal to prevent the obstruction and/or deflection of river flows; and (6) levee maintenance. Two other alternatives are also considered in this draft supplement, a No Action Alternative and a No Additional Federal Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed maintenance techniques would help New Mexico meet its water obligation to Texas under the Rio Grande Compact without curtailing its own water use; would conserve both surface water and groundwater in the Rio Grande basin; would reduce the rate of aggradation in the Rio Grande floodway; and would provide effective floodway maintenance. Bank stabilization, river training works, and sediment removal would each save farmland, bosques, and existing residential and commercial development. Sediment removal would also prevent overbank flooding. The containment of the Rio Grande within the floodway through levee maintenance would negate the loss of property and/or life. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bank stabilization measures would disturb riverbank vegetation initially, although these measures would provide long-term benefits by controlling riverbank erosion. The construction of groins and dikes for river training works would smother sessile aquatic organisms, while pilot channeling and follow-up maintenance would prevent the long-term establishment of aquatic communities. The program could adversely affect three endangered species: the bald eagle, the whooping crane, and the peregrine falcon.

AN - 36410782; 3970 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of operation and maintenance measures is proposed to restore navigation along portions of the Pearl and West Pearl rivers near the southern Louisiana and Mississippi border. The West Pearl River Navigation Project, completed in 1956, was designed to provide a minimum depth of seven feet for navigation from the mouth of the West Pearl River to the vicinity of Bogalusa, Louisiana, on the Pearl River. The project was assigned limited-operation status in 1975 because commodity movement had virtually ceased along the waterway; however, economic changes in the area have increased demand for the movement of both raw materials and finished goods, and the Army Corps of Engineers has been attempting to reopen the waterway for the past four years. Under the preferred alternative, a seven-foot-deep navigation channel would be provided from the mouth of the West Pearl River to river mile 52.2 on the Pearl River. This would be accomplished by hydraulic dredging and possibly by mining. Dredged material would be placed on sandbars and beaches, would be used to create sandbars and beaches, and would be placed over the bank at several sites. The channel would have a 100-foot bottom width from the mouth of the West Pearl River north to river mile 29.5, an 80-foot bottom width through a 20.2-mile canal north of river mile 29.5, and another 100-foot bottom width from Pools Bluff to river mile 52.2 on the Pearl River. Approximately 1.4 million cubic yards of coarse sand would be removed from the channel each year to ensure that it remained navigable. The proposed project would commence in fiscal 1993 and would have an 11-year duration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in navigation would provide economic benefits to local industries; personal incomes and business expenditures are expected to increase by $3.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The project would nourish and create sandbars and beaches that would increase recreational opportunities along the West Pearl River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 89 acres of silt loam soils would be covered by coarse sands with some gravel as a result of depositing dredged sediments on overbank areas. Approximately 16 acres of recently cleared lands would be converted to industrial lands during the lifetime of the project. A total of about 65 acres of forestlands would be adversely affected, and wildlife habitat would be degraded in those areas. Turbidity would increase as a result of initial and maintenance dredging and increased commercial traffic. Six endangered or threatened species could be adversely affected by maintenance measures.

The composition of construction materials changes constantly, with the content of synthetic organic compounds and aluminium increasing since the 1940s. Today, construction wastes, which may experience a similar increase, are among the most abundant waste materials. A mass balance of a full scale construction waste sorting plant yielded the following results: the separation produced an organic fraction (25%), which is best treated in a municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerator, a metal fraction (3%) well suited for iron recycling, and two inorganic fractions (45 and 27% respectively) of a composition similar to the average earth crust. According to the composition and the reaction with water, leachates from landfills of construction wastes as well as of inorganic sorting fractions have to be treated for several decades. The chemical behaviour of the inorganic fractions is different from virgin construction materials. Thus, in order to reuse these fractions, specific additional experiments are needed. The potential of the mechanical sorting process to separate according to chemical properties appears to be limited. Nevertheless, the sorting fractions are better suited for landfilling and reuse than the initial construction waste.

The data represents the availability of over 1.5 gigabytes of global data in a single standard GIS format for use by scientists and educators. A portion of this paper is a tutorial on how to use this for purposes of learning GRASS and for application to questions of climatic change. Because the GLOBAL GRASS CDROM data are all in the same simple format, users of other GISs as well as GRASS users have immediate access to large amounts of environmentally significant global data. These sets of data are chosen for wide distribution because these concerns have been identified as the most useful data for a variety of purposes. It is intended that this tutorial for global environmental analysis can be used at the high school and grade school level educational systems. Since the GLOBAL GRASS CD-ROMs are inexpensive and the GRASS GIS is public domain, this configuration of global data, powerful GIS, and tutorial empowers the widest audience to become involved in global analysis questions. When the exercises in the tutorial are completed, the user will confidently be able to explore the character of the earth with the latest technology.

This study examines Holocene rates of soil carbon accumulation along a latitudinal transect in northern Alaska as an analogue for future change in the Arctic. Rates of carbon accumulation during the colder late-Holocene (4800-400 BP) varied from 1.2 to 3.5 g C m super(-2) yr super(-1). During the warmer mid-Holocene (6900-4800 BP), the rate of carbon accumulation at Prudhoe Bay was significantly higher (6.7 g C m super(-2) yr super(-1)) than during the colder late-Holocene (1.2 g C m super(-2) yc super(-1)). Both paleoclimatic and latitudinal trends support the argument that long-term carbon storage in far-northern ecosystems (arctic and subarctic) increases with increasing temperature. This suggests that far-northern ecosystems will, over the long term (centuries to millenia), continue to act as a small sink (0.034-0.070 Gt yr super(-1)) for atmospheric CO sub(2) following global warming, which will provide a small negative feedback on global warming. However, recent studies also suggest the possibility that over the short term (decades to centuries), overall carbon loss from the Arctic might also provide a strong positive feedback on global warming.

Several papers and presentations at this workshop will detail the overall results and recommendations of that demonstration. Confined area aquaculture benefits the Corps and local sponsors by making available new upland dredged material containment areas. By providing local land owners an economic incentive to make their lands available without interruption of normal dredge placement operations, the Corps can better fulfill its mission to maintain the nation's navigable waterways. By cooperating with the Corps, the aquaculturist can, at a fraction of the cost of constructing a new site, develop a viable contained aquaculture site. The land-owner can then develop the site himself or lease it to an aquaculturist, providing the land-owner with a positive economic benefit.

Numerous safety standards, regulations and policies have been developed and issued to prescribe specific controls to reduce the risks presented by a great variety of hazards. Such standards serve a useful purpose. However, there are times when the use of traditional or standard means of hazard control is not feasible or even possible and an "equal or better" alternative must be found. Hazard control rating codes are introduced as a means for testing the equivalence of alternative hazard controls. This approach combines the energy barrier concept with the system safety precedent concept to provide a means for qualitative assessment of the relative effectiveness and reliability of the various hazard control means that may be available. Illustrative examples applying the concept are included and a step by step guide in its application is provided.

Since the first reported incidents in 1980, a reduction in sea turtle deaths from dredging operations have resulted from modifications in dredging equipment, operational procedures, and management practices. More complete sea turtle life history information is necessary to develop long-term management plans as well as modifications in dredging technology to most effectively minimize sea turtle mortalities during dredging activities. A multifaceted sea turtle research effort has been initiated along the south Atlantic coast by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop these management strategies. The studies include both biological and engineering research approaches and include cooperative participation from the academic community and state and Federal agencies. Integrated trawling surveys and biotelemetry monitoring are being used to provide basic biological information on the life history, behavior, and spatial/temporal occurrence of sea turtles in south Atlantic ship channels maintained by hopper dredging. These data are being used to define and refine windows of time for dredging activities when turtles are absent or least abundant. Measures which are being tested which show potential for reducing turtles mortalities include: trawling to capture and relocate turtles; hydroacoustics to detect turtle presence; techniques to disperse turtles from the dredging pathway; a flexible turtle deflector attached to the draghead; and a new draghead design. Deterrent or dispersal techniques which show promise include seismic/acoustic pneumatic devices, sound, and physical disturbance. JF - ASCE, NEW YORK, NY (USA). pp. 6-17. 1993.

After 24 h, fish were killed and microsomes were prepared from liver homogenates. Microsomal preparations were analysed for cytochromes P450, P420 and b5, and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity. Three different forms of cytochrome P450 were determined by immunoblotting. At all TBT doses, cytochrome P420 was produced, by denaturation of cytochrome P450, and EROD activity was decreased, while cytochrome b5 content remained unaffected. Immunoblot analysis showed considerable losses of P450E at the 2 lower TBT doses, but loss of P450A and P450B occurred only at the highest dose. Degradation of hepatic microsomal proteins at the highest TBT dose was demonstrated electrophoretically, but no histopathological changes were noted. Analysis of organotin residues in the liver indicated that at the low and medial TBT doses, metabolism of TBT to di- and mono-butyltin occurred, but that this was reduced at the highest dose.

Operating at low filtration rates (0.5-2.0 m per h) with grain sizes in the range 5-50 mm, roughing filters were able to produce water with low particulate concentrations, allowing further treatment in slow sand filters without risk of solids overload. Sedimentation was shown, on the basis of theoretical considerations, to be the principal transport mechanism for particle separation in gravel-type filters. Calculations of particle transport trajectories in horizontal and vertical flow filters suggested that horizontal pores were more efficient particle collectors.

An overview of geographic information systems (GIS) and decision support systems which form the basis for SDSS is provided. The implications of SDSS for water resources planning and management are then explored. Potential SDSS applications are illustrated using a hypothetical wetlands SDSS. To realize the potential of SDSS, GIS developers, water resources modellers, decision support system designers and decision makers will have to collaborate to address outstanding practical problems.

The filter was randomly packed with a plastic pipe carrier material. Once started, the filter adapted within 5-7 d to changes in operating conditions, which included shutdown, loads varying from 1.6 to 25 kg COD per m3.d, and reactor acidification. Below a load of 20 kg COD per m3.d, 90 per cent of COD was removed. Methane production was 0.40-0.53 m3 methane per kg COD removed and specific sludge production of 0.1 kg particulate COD per kg COD removed. Profiles of dissolved COD with filter height were obtained, showing the greatest removal in the lowest levels. Biomass was distributed 40 and 60 per cent within the pore spaces and attached to the packing respectively. Buffer had to be dosed to maintain a pH around 7. A simple model of the reactor enabled its results to be used for design purposes.

The procedure adopted involved ligand exchange with catechol and CSV of the resulting complexes. Values for cupric ions were much lower than literature values for the open sea. Equilibrium models of titration data indicated the presence of very strong ligands, whose conditional stability constants and corresponding concentrations were estimated. Levels of cupric ions were particularly low during the algal blooms in springtime and were higher in winter. The seasonal pattern suggested that the copper-complexing ligands were produced by algae.

The CBMP included a 3-dimensional hydrodynamic model and a benthic-sediment diagenesis model. The state variables of CE-QUAL-ICM included multiple forms of algae, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and silica and also dissolved oxygen. In applications during the period 1984-1986 the model successfully simulated water column and sediment processes affecting water quality, including formation of the spring algal bloom following the annual peak in nutrient runoff, break-up of summer anoxia, and the coupling of nutrient and water fluxes in sediment water with organic particle deposition.

It specified the deficit ratio of the cascade in terms of the Henry's Law coefficients, the molecular diffusion coefficients of the compounds exchanged, and 4 site-specific empirical parameters of the cascade. These, which related to gas exchange from surface and air bubbles, depended on the type of hydraulic control and the hydraulic conditions. The model could be calibrated by measurements of the deficit ratio for at least 4 compounds with widely different physico-chemical properties. Five compounds and sodium fluorescein were injected upstream of the first of 4 cascades. Samples were taken upstream and downstream of each cascade and the compounds sulphur hexafluoride, 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane, trichloroethene, trichloromethane and tribromomethane analysed by gas chromatography. The model showed that air bubble entrainment was the key factor in gas exchange if the Henry's Law constant was large, and free surface exchange was most significant for low values of the constant. The work demonstrated the deficiencies of the 2-film models of gas exchange.

Most redox processes were mediated by bacteria and were described by classical inorganic redox reactions in aquatic systems. Steady-state nitrate and sulphate reductions in the columns followed pseudo first-order kinetics and the rate constants of approximately 0.27 per minute and 0.023 per minute, respectively were comparable to those of natural systems after correction for bacterial population density. The primary sink for sulphide produced by sulphate reduction was the formation of iron(II) sulphide by reduction of iron(II) (hydr) oxides rather than enzymatically formed iron(II). Iron(II) and manganese(II) dissolution followed pseudo second-order kinetics. Sulphide-mediated manganese reduction was of minor importance while manganese(II) adsorption to the sand resulted in considerable migration of manganese within the column and 15 per cent of total manganese was subject to enzymatic dissolution. Good agreement between calculated calcium, alkalinity, carbon and electron balance and measured reactor concentrations demonstrated that microbially-mediated processes could be described accurately by a small set of simple chemical reactions.

The deposition area (1.2-3.4 m deep) was surveyed before dredging and periodically up to one year after dredging. Distribution patterns were measured using precision bathymetry. The effects of this thin layer deposition on the marine habitat were also investigated. The placing of thin layers of dredged material could reduce the potential environmental impact of dredged material. Total suspended solids concentrations had little effect on DOC. After dredging, benthic organisms recolonized the dredged area rapidly with some species of fish attracted to the disposal area for a short time.

AN - 36409336; 3839 AB - PURPOSE: The disposal of excess property made available by the closure of Fort Ord, with the retention of the U.S. Army Reserve Center and establishment of a Presidio of Monterey (POM) annex, is proposed. Fort Ord is an Army installation occupying approximately 28,000 acres adjacent to Monterey Bay and the cities of Marina, Seaside, Sand City, Del Rey Oaks, and Monterey in northern Monterey County, California, approximately 100 miles south of San Francisco. Under the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission's 1991 recommendation, the installation would be closed and the 7th Infantry Division (Light) (IDL) would be relocated to Fort Lewis, Washington. There is no time limit for disposal of excess Fort Ord land. As the 7th IDL realigns from Fort Ord, the Army would assign structures, utilities, and operation and maintenance systems caretaker status until property disposal decisions are implemented. If environmental restoration of certain contaminated sites is not accelerated, the Army could retain caretaker status for segments of the lands remaining outside the POM annex and reserve center until restoration is complete. The proposed Army action considered in this draft EIS includes the establishment of an approximately 1,500-acre POM annex to provide operations support to the military services remaining in the Monterey area; the retention of a 12-acre reserve center complex at Fort Ord to support local reserve units; and the disposal of excess property at Fort Ord. Alternative proposals include a modified POM proposal developed by the city of Seaside; a proposal to have no annex or reserve center at Fort Ord; and proposals for mixed use and institutional use of the property, conversion to open space, and anticipated military reuse. The No Action Alternative, under which the Army does not dispose of excess property but retains caretaker status for it, is also analyzed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transfer of the excess land to private interests would add the land to the state and local tax base. Economic activity would increase as a result of hazardous and toxic waste remediation actions, unexploded ordnance disposal, and infrastructure modifications. The proposed POM annex would employ approximately 1,000 civilian employees. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The disposal and reuse actions would result in impacts to threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species and habitat, soil resources, historic structures, the infrastructure (from reduced maintenance and the need for expansion), public health (from reduced security), the Monterey Bay communities' social and economic conditions, visual resources, and air quality. In addition, proposed development would impact floodplains, increase runoff to surface waters, expose additional people and property in a seismically active area, eliminate a large tract of open space, and create substantial congestion on Fort Ord roadways. The disposal of large areas of land could temporarily saturate some segments of the local real estate market and reduce sales prices; cause the loss to local schools of land currently leased from the Army; increase the demand for some municipal services; and result in the loss of federal protection for biological and cultural resources.

AN - 36409435; 3879 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 19.7 miles of Trunk Highway (TH) 33 from its junction with Interstate 35 (I-35) to its junction with TH 53 in Carlton and Saint Louis counties, Minnesota, is proposed. In October 1985, a final EIS (FEIS) was approved for this corridor. This FEIS identified a preferred alternative for the northern rural section and a temporary No-Build Alternative for the southern urban section. This was done to allow more time to study the urban section. A draft supplement on the urban section was issued in 1987 to comply with the FEIS's statement that a supplement would be prepared for this section. This final supplement to the FEIS identifies the preferred build alternative for the urban section and addresses noise mitigation alternatives to the preferred alternative. The urban section would run 6.5 miles, from I-35 to Morris-Thomas Road (County Road 56). Besides the No-Build Alternative, three major alternatives are considered in this final supplement: the West Cloquet Bypass (a bypass west of Cloquet); the East Cloquet Bypass (a bypass east of Cloquet); and the Through-Town Alternative (a route along the existing TH 33), which is the preferred alternative. The Through-Town Alternative would consist of a four-lane expressway with interchanges at TH 53, TH 2, and I-35. A one-mile section of TH 2 would be reconstructed and expanded to four lanes through the interchange with TH 33. The preferred alternative was analyzed by placing approximate alignments within corridors. The corridors were approximately 500 feet wide, except where potential constraints were found. In these areas, the corridor was expanded to a maximum width of 2,000 feet. The Through-Town Alternative would coincide with the existing TH 33 from the junction with I-35 to Morris Thomas Road. It would include bridges over the main channel and a side channel of the Saint Louis River just north of TH 45. While the southern terminus of this project is I-35, the existing TH 33 already consists of a four-lane expressway between I-35 and TH 45. Therefore, no improvements would be proposed for the project south of TH 45. North of TH 45, the existing roadbed would be reconstructed and expanded to a four-lane roadway with a continuous center left-turn lane beginning north of the St. Louis River bridge and extending to just beyond North Avenue. From there the road would change to a four-lane divided expressway. Right-of-way limits would be approximately 100 feet for the reconstructed urban roadway and 200 feet for the divided expressway. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $9.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide four-lane continuity between the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the Iron Range cities, and would improve accessibility to tourism areas in northern Minnesota. Highway accidents would decrease, primarily along the portion of TH 33 between I-35 and TH 2, and traffic flow through Cloquet would improve. The project would also stimulate business expansion and long-term economic growth in the area. Deficient bridge structures would be replaced or improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would displace 23 residences, five of which have already been relocated and four of which are in the process of being relocated. Approximately 24 acres of wetlands would be impacted as would some waterways, including the Saint Louis River near the city of Cloquet. The project would also negatively impact community cohesion in the city of Cloquet.

AN - 36397019; 3901 AB - PURPOSE: Expanding the capacity of the Port of Los Angeles is proposed in order to accommodate increased cargo traffic and to relocate hazardous and other facilities at the port. The recommended plan would involve dredging navigation channels and turning basins, and using the dredged material to create approximately 582 acres of new landfill, in the harbor. The landfill would support new container terminals, liquid bulk facilities, and dry bulk facilities. The newly created lands and the facilities they would support would be identified as Pier 400. Similar facilities would be relocated on existing lands on Pier 300. The dredging would be conducted in four increments through the year 2005 to create or improve channels within San Pedro Bay. The proposed increments are as follows: (a) deepening the existing 51-foot approach channel, constructing a new channel to Pier 300 to a depth of 63 feet, and disposing of the dredged material to create 143 acres in the Pier 400 area, a 25-acre transportation access corridor to Pier 400, and 91 acres of shallow fill along the San Pedro Breakwater and access corridor; (b) deepening the main channel to Pier 400 from 63 to 81 feet and the south channel from 45 to 75 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by 337 acres; (c) extending the new channel from the end of Piers 300 and 400 to the container terminal area of Piers 300 and 400 at a depth of 45 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by 55 acres; and (d) extending the new channel from the container terminal area of Piers 300 and 400 to the proposed new container terminals on Pier 400 at a depth of 45 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by an additional 22 acres. Throughout the early planning stages of the project, similar changes were considered for the port of Long Beach; however, in October 1991, the port withdrew from the process. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the capacity of Los Angeles Harbor would help satisfy existing and anticipated demand for the port's facilities, which stems partly from increased trade with Pacific Rim nations. Safety within the harbor would be enhanced due to wider waterway turning capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposal of dredged material would result in temporary localized turbidity and the permanent loss of shallow and soft-bottom habitat. Waters that have high fish nursery value and that have been identified as critical habitat for the foraging activities of the California brown pelican and the endangered California least tern would be lost to the landfill. Increased ship traffic within the harbor would increase the potential for accidental leaks or discharges and oil spills.

Ion pairs of SAS and LAS quantitatively formed butyl esters in the injection port of the gas chromatograph and were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry without class fractionation of the sewage sludge extracts. Concentrations of SAS and LAS in sludges from five different sewage treatment plants ranged from 0.27 to 0.80 g/kg of dry sewage sluge and from 3.83 to 7.51 g/kg, respectively. Good reproducibility was achieved with RSDs of typically 5% for replicate extractions and analyses. Homologue and isomer distributions of SAS in sewage sludge indicated an enrichment of the more hydrophobic components in sewage sludge during sewage treatment.

PIERCE HARBOR, FLORIDA (GENERAL REEVALUATION REPORT AND SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36410587; 3903 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to the existing federal project at Ft. Pierce Harbor in Florida are proposed. The city of Ft. Pierce is located on the lower east coast of Florida, approximately 120 miles north of Miami and 225 miles south of Jacksonville. The harbor itself is situated on the Indian River within the city of Ft. Pierce, and access to the ocean is provided via a man-made cut through the barrier island. The existing federal project, completed in 1938, consists of an entrance channel, an interior channel, a turning basin, two protective jetties, and berthing areas. Existing port facilities are used primarily for shipments of citrus, cement, and argonite. At its present depth, the existing channel requires shipments in shallow- to moderate-draft vessels and cannot support larger deep-draft vessels. A final EIS on a proposal to dredge the channel and turning basin was issued in June 1986. However, when state environmental agencies conducted field reconnaissance of the project area in April 1991, a dive survey uncovered a diverse underwater biological community on the rock ledges on the sides of the existing channel and at the edges of the turning basin. This draft supplement to the final EIS evaluates the original proposal, a modified version of that proposal (the Modified Plan Alternative), and a No Action Alternative, and their effects on these biological resources. Under the modified proposal, the channel would be dredged to the same depth and width as in the original proposal: the interior channel would have a design depth of 28 feet and a bottom width of 250 feet, and would extend out to a 30-foot-deep, 400-foot-wide entrance channel. The turning basin would be 28 feet deep and have a diameter of 1,100 feet, with a 28-foot-deep, 250-foot-wide spur channel extending to the north end. The only significant difference between the two proposals is that the modified proposal revises the layout of the turning basin and channel to minimize the amount of rock that would be dredged. Under both proposals, all dredged material that is not of beach-sand quality would be disposed at sea. The total quantity of dredged material would be 1.1 million cubic yards under the original proposal and 795,000 cubic yards under the modified proposal. The modified proposal is the preferred alternative; its benefit-to-cost ratio would be 1.7. The estimated cost for a 28-foot-deep channel would be $8.57 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to shippers and would attract new exporting and importing businesses, which would stimulate the local economy. The modified proposal would alter only one acre of rock/ledge habitat while the original proposal would alter 11.7 acres. Some 5,900 linear feet of beach would be restored to sea turtle nesting habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly dredged channel would accelerate beach erosion and increase the volume of material trapped in offshore sandbars, but these effects would be partially offset by the placement of dredged sand on adjacent beaches. There is some possibility that dredged sediments could bury nearby biological communities or that toxic contaminants present in the sediments could enter the food chain and become concentrated in large predators. Some phases of the operation could also affect resident populations of manatees and sea turtles. In addition, some 5.8 acres of rocky channel-edge habitat and 15 acres of productive shallow-water habitat for invertebrates, crustaceans, and fish would be lost.

Preparation date: December 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN FRANCISCO BAY DEEP WATER DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DESIGNATION, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36396987; 3900 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of a permanent ocean disposal site for sediments dredged from San Francisco Bay is proposed. Presently no ocean disposal site is available to accept this dredged material. An estimated six million cubic yards (cy) of material would be disposed of at the designated site each year for a 50-year period beginning in 1994. The total projected dredging volume over the 50-year period is 400 million cy of sediment. All dredged material would be tested to ensure its suitability for ocean disposal. Three alternative sites have been identified as potential disposal sites. All are located in the Pacific Ocean on the continental slope and rise off San Francisco; all are uniform in size, having an oval shape approximately 3.7 nautical miles (nmi) long and 2.2 nmi wide. The site boundaries were established to conform with the model-predicted deposit thickness of ten centimeters, which is the threshold above which impacts are expected to be significant (such as the smothering of bottom-dwelling organisms). The preferred site (Alternative 5) is located on the continental rise, where ocean depths range from 2,500 to 3,000 meters, approximately 49 nmi from the coast and 50 nmi from the Golden Gate Bridge. The Army Corps of Engineers expects that the disposal site would be used throughout the year, except when wave heights exceed three meters and wave periods are nine seconds or less (approximately 10 percent of the time, typically from February through May). However, seasonal restrictions on dredging activities imposed by biological events such as migration, spawning, and nesting activities would also affect use of the disposal site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The designation of a sediment-disposal site would allow for the maintenance dredging of channels and expansion of dock facilities, which are necessary to sustain economic growth and the strategic use of ports in San Francisco Bay. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Continued use of the site would result in the smothering of some benthic organisms and prevent the reestablishment of the benthic community in any areas where the deposit levels are ten centimeters or more. The preferred site is located in the vicinity of former disposal sites for chemical and radioactive wastes; it is considered unlikely, however, that the dredged materials would interact with these wastes. In fact, the deposition could bury and further isolate these wastes.

Next was to provide the scientific community and regulatory agencies a logical, sequential framework for developing sediment toxicity tests. The third was to identify gaps in knowledge and indicate where additional research is needed. The last was to suggest a process to the regulatory agencies for evaluating and incorporating a sediment bioassay once it has been accepted by the scientific community.

The method uses isoctane as the extractant and a gas chromatograph as the determinative instrument. Both field-contaminated samples and spiked sediments were analyzed and results on the spiked samples indicate that the method has a better than 80% recovery rate for WP. The detection limit for the method is 0.88 microg/kg of soil. The WP recovery is sensitive to the water content of the sediments and to prolonged shaking. Fluidizing the wet sediments by adding water to saturated soil greatly increases WP recovery. Since field samples are contaminated with WP particles of various sizes, subsamples may not accurately represent the concentration of the sample as a whole.

Emphasis is on the use of water transfers during the current drought and how planners and operators of federal, state, and local systems can integrate water transfers into the planning and operations of their systems. Through the California experience, the study identifies motivations for incorporating water transfers into water supply systems, reviews a variety of water transfer types, and discusses the integration of water transfers with traditional supply augmentation and water conservation measures. Limitations, constraints, and difficulties for employing water transfers within existing systems are also discussed. The study focuses primarily on the technical, planning, and operational aspects of water transfers, rather than the legal, economic, and social implications. JF - Research Documents.

AN - 36404957; 3907 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to the Maalaea Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Maui are proposed in order to reduce the surge caused by wave action in the harbor and entrance channel, and the resultant damage to lightweight vessels. The harbor is located on the western end of Maalaea Bay, which forms the southern shoreline of the central isthmus of the island of Maui. The federal portion of the improvements would consist of realigning the entrance channel and modifying the existing breakwater to protect the new entrance channel. The state would provide expanded berthing facilities and improved infrastructure. A final EIS on this proposal was issued in 1980; however, the project remained unfunded until fiscal year 1989. This draft supplement to the final EIS evaluates the proposal in light of changes in environmental conditions and standards. Areas of concern include increases in traffic and noise that would result from harbor expansion, and the loss or degradation of nearby surfing sites. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. No preferred alternative has yet been identified, but Alternative 1, identified in the final EIS as the selected plan, continues to serve as the recommended plan. The plan would extend the existing south breakwater by 620 feet and add a 400-foot-long revetted mole on the seaward side of the existing south breakwater for additional parking and bus turnaround. The plan would also provide an entrance channel 610 feet long, which would vary in width from 150 to 180 feet and in depth from 12 to 15 feet; a 1.7-acre turning basin 12 feet deep; and a main access channel 720 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 8 feet deep. Approximately 80 feet of the existing east breakwater would be removed, and 44,000 cubic yards of material would be dredged from the harbor basin and new entrance channel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements would significantly reduce damage to boats in the existing berths and would allow for the construction of additional berths in the eastern portion of the harbor, doubling its current capacity. Additionally, the improvements would allow for the berthing of a 110-foot Coast Guard vessel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would increase dust, vehicle exhaust emissions, and noise levels, and dredging would temporarily degrade water quality. Approximately 2.6 acres of coral reef habitat would be destroyed as a result of dredging the new entrance channel. Harbor activities are likely to interfere with endangered humpback whales in the area. A number of surfing sites (""Off-the-Wall''; ""Buzz's No. 1,'' also known as ""Sea Flight''; ""Buzz's No. 2''; and ""Maalaea Pipeline'') would be lost or degraded; these sites receive the highest quality of breaks.

AN - 36410611; 3880 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a freeway, including a bridge crossing the Missouri River, within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties, Missouri, is proposed. Under the proposed action, Page Avenue (Route D) would extend from its present terminus at Bennington Place, immediately west of Interstate 270 (I-270) in St. Louis County; proceed across the Missouri River to Route 94 in St. Charles County; and then continue on to either I-70 or Route 40/61 (the future I-64), a distance of 14.4 to 20.95 miles. Five alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative and two build alternatives, each with three subalternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, the Red Alignment, would be a ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median from Bennington Place to Route 94. As part of the Red Alignment, from Hamsath Road to Route N, Route 94 would become an eight- to ten-lane, limited-access highway with a 26-foot-wide median. One-way outer roads would be provided as service roads along this segment. From Route 94 to Route 40/61, the Red Alignment would be a four-lane, limited-access highway with a 70-foot-wide median. Grade separations for Bennington Place would be constructed over the Page Avenue Extension and the west half of a diamond interchange. Grade separations would also be provided at Amiot Drive and Seven Pines Drive, the River Valley Road, Route 94, Motherhead Road, and Henke Road. A bridge approximately 2,800 feet long would span Creve Coeur Lake, Creve Coeur Creek, and associated wooded bottomland. The alignment would also cross portions of the Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park. The bridge over the Missouri River would extend 3,550 feet and consist of ten 12-foot travel lanes, four ten-foot shoulders, and a three-foot-wide median barrier. Total project costs are estimated to be $320 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The chronic traffic congestion at the Missouri River crossings between Saint Charles and Saint counties would be relieved, and concurrent reductions in energy costs and improvement of air quality would be effected. Additional benefits would be improved traffic flow conditions within Saint Charles and Saint Louis counties on secondary roads and on routes 40/61, I-70, and I-270. Development would continue to occur throughout Saint Charles County; on the proposed alignments induced development would take place at interchanges and along outer roads. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The rights-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 190.3 acres of prime farmland; the relocation of 54 residences and 17 commercial establishments; the traversal of 397.9 acres of the Missouri River floodplain, and the associated loss of 52.9 acres of emergent and wooded wetlands; and the removal of public parkland. Land-use impacts would total 1,926.1 acres.

KELLER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT ON US HIGHWAY 31 IN DECATUR, MORGAN AND LIMESTONE COUNTIES, ALABAMA. AN - 36396398; 3869 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge on US 31 spanning the Tennessee River between Morgan and Limestone counties at Decatur, Alabama, and the removal of the deteriorating historic William S. Keller bridge are proposed. The proposed new bridge and its approaches would be approximately 1.5 miles long, starting in the city of Decatur in Morgan County and extending across the Tennessee River into Limestone County. The William S. Keller Bridge presently is used as two southbound lanes, and a more modern bridge carries the two northbound lanes. The Keller Bridge was erected in 1926 and includes a movable bascule draw that provides the only opening on the structure for the passage of river traffic. The Keller Bridge is a property eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Structures. The newer bridge was constructed at a much greater height and allows river traffic to pass beneath it unhindered. The proposed structure would be erected at a height sufficient to enable river traffic to move freely without disrupting roadway vehicles. The typical section of the new bridge would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes with a ten-foot outside shoulder and a six-foot inside shoulder, thus providing a 40-foot curb-to-curb roadway. Four alternatives are considered in this final EIS, including the No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would place the new bridge east of and adjacent to the existing high-rise bridge, which would allow the present Keller Bridge to maintain traffic flow during construction of the new bridge. Once the proposed project was completed, the Keller Bridge would be removed, the new bridge would carry northbound vehicles, and the existing high-rise bridge would handle southbound traffic. The estimated cost for this alternative is $14.97 million, and construction time is estimated at two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed bridge would improve transportation and foster economic growth. The project would enhance safety by providing a roadway facility whose vehicles would not be impeded by the movement of river vessels. Emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, would have better access to the surrounding areas. The local economy would be stimulated by the use of materials and labor during construction. The long-term economy of the region, including Decatur's tax base, would be enhanced by the improved ability of industries to transport input materials to local industries and output products to market areas. The Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge would acquire a 16-acre area of drained wetlands that could be restored easily to its former wetland status and be added to the wildlife refuge to offset the loss of approximately six acres of wetlands to right-of-way. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would result in brief traffic delays, noise, and air quality degradation. The project would also result in temporary erosion and siltation during construction. There would be a small loss of commercial land to right-of-way, and the displacement of one business. Additional right-of-way acquisitions would include the above-mentioned six acres of wetlands from the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge.

Preparation date: November 19, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EAST-WEST BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY FROM VETERANS HIGHWAY TO MD 2, ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MARYLAND. AN - 36409291; 3877 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a three-mile east-west connector highway linking the MD 3 (Interstate 97)/Veterans Highway and MD 2 (Governor Ritchie Highway) transportation corridors in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is proposed. Currently there is no connection south of MD 100 that provides an adequate link between these two corridors. The existing local roadways, such as Benfield Boulevard and Brightview Drive/Obrecht Road, are unable to accommodate the existing and projected growth in travel demand. In some portions of the project area, traffic volumes are expected to double by the year 2015. In addition to the No-Build Alternative, five build alternatives and three options along three alternative transportation corridors are considered in this draft EIS. Alternatives 2A and 2B would each consist of a new roadway, with two or four lanes, respectively, that would follow the alignment designated in the county master plan. This alignment would intersect MD 3 approximately 2,000 feet north of the Benfield Boulevard intersection, proceed through the Shipley's Choice community, and connect with Mission Street to intersect MD 2. Three options associated with Alternative 2 would each follow alternative routes through and around Elvaton Park, a county-owned facility. Alternatives 3A and 3B would each follow the alignment of the existing Brightview Drive/Obrecht Road corridor, upgrading the roadway and providing two or four travel lanes, respectively. Alternative 4 would involve restriping Benfield Boulevard as a four-lane, undivided roadway between MD 3 and Evergreen Road, where it would convert to three lanes. Estimated project costs range from $1.6 million to $23.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing an improved east-west route between two major north-south highways, the project would enhance local economic development, reduce traffic congestion, and improve traffic safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to ten residences under Alternative 2, up to 12 under Alternative 3, and none under Alternative 4. Only one business would be displaced by any of the alternatives. Alternatives 2 and 3 would cross the B&A Trail, and one optional route associated with Alternative 2 would affect Elvaton Park. Up to 27 acres of woodlands would be affected by Alternative 2. Alternative 3 would displace up to three acres of wetlands; other alternatives would have less impact on wetlands.

Preparation date: November 12, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HEALY CLEAN COAL PROJECT, DENALI BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36407145; 3846 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an experimental 50-megawatt coal-fired power-generating facility in Healy, Alaska, is proposed. The site is located along the Nenana River, approximately 4 miles north of the Danali National Park and Preserve and approximately 80 miles southwest of Fairbanks and 250 miles north of Anchorage. The proposed facility would operate adjacently to the existing 25- megawatt Healy Unit No. 1 conventional pulverized-coal facility and would use low-sulfur coal and waste coal from the Usibelli Coal Mine, Inc., Poker Flats Mine, located about 4 miles north of the site. Construction costs would be shared by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority under the Clean Coal Technology program. The facility would use innovative combustion and flue gas cleanup technologies to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter from emissions. SO2 and nitrogen oxides are the primary components of acid rain. If successful, the project would speed up the commercialization of both processes, providing private industry with sufficient data to decide whether to purchase the technologies for existing or planned power plants. Construction of the facility would commence in early 1993 and be completed in late 1995; the demonstration period would last for one year. Along with the proposed action, two other alternatives, the No Action Alternative and an alternative site for the project located 4 miles from the proposed site, are also considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would increase U.S. use of domestically produced coal; would improve the U.S. energy industry's competitive position in the world marketplace; and could lessen U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the proposed facility would degrade ambient air quality, but pollutant levels would be well below federal standards. The yellow-brown plume from the facility would be visible on certain days from the nearby national park. The discharge of cooling waters into the Nenana River would alter water temperatures, possibly affecting the fish population and the river's freezing pattern during winter months. Some ten acres of land would be disturbed by the project. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 12, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DAM AND RESERVOIR AT RIO PORTUGUES PROJECT, PONCE, PUERTO RICO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1974). AN - 36410576; 3912 AB - PURPOSE: Enlargement of the streambed of the Portugues and Bucana rivers through the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, and construction of two multiple-purpose lakes for flood control, water supply, and recreation, is proposed. Channel modifications would enlarge 5.7 miles of the Bucana River, with floodway levees along the lower portion; enlarge 2.1 miles of the Portugues River; and create a 1.3-mile diversion channel from the Portugues River to the Bucana River in the southern section of Ponce. A diversion dam and grated culvert on the Portugues River downstream from the diversion channel would maintain low flows in the lower 2.5 miles of the river. Dam sites would be located on the Portugues and Cerrillos (upper Bucana) rivers. Since preparation and circulation of the final EIS of February 1974, the Cerrillos Dam and downstream water improvements have been completed, but the Portugues Dam has not yet been constructed. The concrete double-curvature elliptical-arch dam, curved in both the vertical and horizontal planes, would be built at the site discussed in the final EIS, in the upper Rio Portugues Valley. Construction would occur in two phases. In the first phase, the dam would be constructed to a height of 219.6 feet above ground elevation; the resulting pool would cover 215 acres. In the second phase, the dam would be raised 51 feet and the pool increased to 320 acres. The purpose of this draft supplement to the final EIS is to document changes in the design of the dam and reservoir project that have occurred since 1974. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide flood mitigation, drinking water, and recreational opportunities to the residents of Ponce and surrounding residential areas. Opportunities for sport fishing would be expanded. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace 68 houses, three commercial buildings, and one school. A section of Highway PR 503 and a secondary road leading to it would require relocation. Dam construction and operation would change the predominant fish habitat type from a fast-flowing highland stream to a deep lake, causing changes in population and species dominance. Catadromous stream fauna would be totally eliminated from the Rio Portugues and Bucana drainage basin in time; included in this fauna are three species of goby, the mountain mullet, over ten species of shrimp, and the American eel.

Preparation date: November 9, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REPLACEMENT OF THE COOPER RIVER BRIDGES ON US 17 OVER COOPER RIVER AND TOWN CREEK, CHARLESTON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36408571; 3888 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Grace Memorial Bridge and the Silas N. Pearman Bridge between Charleston and Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is proposed. The bridges cross the Cooper River and Town Creek, and serve US 17. Under the proposed action, the bridges would be replaced with two new four- or five-lane bridges, plus accompanying approach bridges and ramps with connections to Interstate 26 (I-26), the Cross Town Expressway, and local streets in Charleston and Mount Pleasant. The location of the new bridges would be in one of two corridors, either the same corridor as the Grace and Pearman bridges are in (the Grace/Pearman corridor), or a corridor that would be identical to the existing corridor at the Mount Pleasant end and over the Cooper River but would diverge north at Drum Island to enter Charleston at I-26, 2,000 feet upstream from the existing bridges (the Newmarket corridor). The navigational clearance over Town Creek and the Cooper River would be 135 and 186 feet, respectively. The existing bridges would be demolished upon completion of their replacements. 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 Grace/Pearman corridor would involve the displacement of 40 buildings and the relocation of 29 families and 14 businesses; 11 of the buildings proposed to be displaced are within a district that is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Rights-of-way acquisition in the Newmarket corridor would involve the displacement of 19 buildings and the relocation of 15 families, six businesses, and a church. The existing Grace Bridge is itself eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. For the Grace/Pearman alternative, 18.6 acres of wetlands would be crossed by bridges and 2.4 acres would be filled; for the Newmarket alignment, 23 acres would be bridged and three acres filled. Noise abatement criteria would be approached or exceeded for 54 residences and one church within the Newmarket corridor, and for 48 residences and two churches in the Grace/Pearman corridor.

Preparation date: November 6, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ABIACA CREEK WATERSHED, DEMONSTRATION EROSION CONTROL PROJECT, YAZOO BASIN, MISSISSIPPI. AN - 36398534; 3909 AB - PURPOSE: Sediment and flood control measures are proposed for the Abiaca Creek watershed (ACW) in portions of Carroll, Holmes, and Leflore counties in the Yazoo Basin of Mississippi. Two alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would include 10.6 miles of new-levee construction, an overflow weir in Abiaca Creek near Highway 49, and three floodwater retarding structures on tributaries within the upper reaches of the ACW. Complete project plans for the ACW also include 19 additional floodwater retarding structures; two low-drop grade control structures; 125 riser pipe grade control structures; 155 debris basins; 9,600 linear feet of bank stabilization; and $450,500 in land treatment measures such as reforestation, revegetation, and terracing. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Currently, the ACW has problems with channel instability, and with related channel degradation and bank, gully, and overland flow erosion. The proposed control measures would address the erosion of channel beds and banks, high sediment loads that are deposited in the downstream reach of Abiaca Creek, reduced channel conveyance capacity, increased flooding on agricultural lands, and the deposition of large quantities of sediment into Mathews Brake National Wildlife Refuge. The proposed measures would provide for ten-year-frequency flood protection to adjacent properties while simultaneously providing for 50 years of sediment deposition in the levee floodway. Additional benefits would include the revegetation of construction areas and levees with plant species of greater economic and wildlife value than existing vegetation, and the establishment of approximately 82 acres of aquatic habitat in the hills as an important benefit to fishery resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would impact 349 acres of bottomland hardwoods habitat, 990 acres of agricultural land, and 55 acres of riparian/upland hardwood habitat.

Preparation date: November 6, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NASHUA-HUDSON CIRCUMFERENTIAL HIGHWAY, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE. AN - 36396580; 3882 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the Nashua-Hudson Circumferential Highway in the towns of Hudson, Litchfield, and Merrimack in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, is proposed. The study area is located approximately 35 miles south of Concord, New Hampshire, and 35 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts. The proposed highway would serve east-west traffic and relieve existing traffic congestion in the central business districts of Nashua and Hudson by providing alternative crossings of the Merrimack River. The highway would also link all major arterial roadways in the region. Key issues addressed in this revised draft EIS include wetlands and water resource impacts; wildlife; socioeconomic impacts, including displacement, cumulative development, and compatibility with community and regional plans; noise and air quality; and historic and archaeological resources. Six build alternatives and the No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under the build alternatives, the proposed circumferential highway would be a limited-access toll expressway with a 400-foot-wide right-of-way in most areas, which would allow for two 12-foot lanes in each direction and a varying median. Grade-separated interchanges would be provided at six locations. Other roads would be either grade-separated, relocated, or terminated at the new facility. All build alternatives share a southern terminus at the exit 2 interchange of the F. E. Everett Turnpike at the existing Sagamore Bridge, which crosses the Merrimack River, and all follow a semicircular route to the east of the town of Hudson. Each differs in its alignment and in its northern termini at the F. E. Everett Turnpike (between exits 7 and 11). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In the study area, traffic is expected to outstrip the capacity of existing road systems; congestion in the area is already severe. Existing bridge crossings and major arterials cannot be substantially improved because of limited rights-of-way and intense urban development. Under the build alternatives, current and future residential and business development would benefit from improved traffic flow and accessibility, and air pollutant levels would decrease somewhat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition would displace 11 to 53 residences and 2 to 3 businesses; 15 to 45.4 acres of active farmland; and 54 to 93.5 acres of wetlands. Some 520 to 641 acres of undeveloped land would be impacted. Continued fragmentation of the urbanizing environment of southern New Hampshire would also occur. The project would encroach on bald eagle roost and feeding habitat, and on aquifer and well areas. Two of the alternatives would bisect the property of the Anheuser-Busch brewery, a major employer and tourist attraction. Historic sites, some already listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, would be impacted.

Preparation date: November 6, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED EWA MARINA, EWA BEACH, OAHU, HAWAII. AN - 36396539; 3906 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 120-acre, 1,400-berth marina, and concurrent residential development of the marina area, at Ewa Beach on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, is proposed by HASEKO (Ewa), Inc. The alternatives to this plan include the construction of a 70-acre, 800-berth marina, and residential development of the area without the marina. Also included as part of the marina project would be the installation or construction of protective jetties, internal wave absorbers, storm drain structures, an entrance channel, navigational aids, and a bridge to an island that would be created on the eastern end of the marina. The applicant proposes to dispose of 300,000 cubic yards of coralline material and sand, dredged during the construction of an entrance channel to the marina, at the EPA's South Oahu Dredged Material Ocean Disposal Site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Marina construction at this location is consistent with current state and local land use plans and coastal zone management policies. The development would help meet the high demand for berth space, and would generate more ocean-related commercial development, in the area. Shoreline access for the public would be enhanced. The marina would become an estuarine environment, providing habitat diversity for fish and invertebrates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the alternatives would require land clearing, which would remove existing sugarcane and Kiawe forest plant communities. Development of the area would remove the Ewa plain as a flood storage basin, which would result in increased runoff to the ocean. A limestone caprock aquifer would be altered, reducing groundwater levels. Construction activities would generate substantial fugitive dust emissions, and would increase water turbidity and destroy marine organisms in a 40-acre area. The entrance channel alignment would alter one of seven surf sites in the area, and would destroy an anchialine pool harboring hypogeal shrimp.

AN - 15233895; 3910 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Olcott Harbor near the town of Newfane, New York, is proposed. The harbor is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario at the mouth of Eighteenmile Creek approximately 35 miles northeast of Buffalo. The existing project was completed in 1918 and consists of two parallel piers and an entrance channel from deep water in the lake to the shoreward end of the piers. This pier-protected entrance channel is safe for use only in calm weather or light wind conditions. Many boats moor in the open basin upstream from the piers, and are adversely affected by surge action in the lake entrance channel and choppiness created by waves overtopping the existing piers. A final EIS of November 1978 proposed the implementation of a harbor improvement plan that would include rubble-mound breakwaters with some pedestrian and fisherman access, an east outer-harbor embayment, channel improvements, and associated dock and upland facilities development. This plan, Plan 10-A, whose total cost would be $17.5 million, has not yet been implemented. This draft supplement to the final EIS includes additional analysis of the proposal based on legislative and environmental changes. It is the finding of the Army Corps of Engineers that it would be inappropriate for the project to receive federal funding since up to 96 percent of the benefits associated with the project are recreational and unrelated to commercial navigation or flood damage reduction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: If implemented, the plan would protect up to 800 fishing and recreational boats from violent wave action and provide improved access to pedestrian fishermen; furthermore, the breakwaters would protect approximately 31 acres of littoral zone benthic habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The deposition of stone at the breakwater sites would crush, smother, or displace bottom-dwelling invertebrates, aquatic plants, and fish habitat.

AN - 36405060; 3830 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of protective beach along a 3.5-mile stretch of shoreline on a narrow barrier island in New Hanover County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project area extends from the southern town limits of Carolina Beach on the north to the northern property limits of the Fort Fisher historic site on the south, and includes the town of Kure Beach and the unincorporated communities of Hanby Beach and Wilmington Beach. A continuous sand beach fronts the ocean side of the narrow peninsula separating the Lower Cape Fear River from the Atlantic Ocean. The shoreline has a north-northeast, south-southwest alignment. The purpose of the proposed construction is to protect the beaches and beachfront developments from normal erosion and from abnormal tides resulting from winter storms and hurricanes. Four alternatives involving berms and dunes of various dimensions are under consideration, as well as a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would consist of a main beach-fill section with a 25-foot-wide crest dune having an elevation of 13.5 feet national geodetic vertical datum (NGVD), fronted by a 50-foot-wide storm berm with an elevation of 9 feet NGVD. The transition between the dune and berm would have a slope of 1 to 10 with an approximate width of 45 feet. Two borrow sites located 1 to 2 miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean would serve as the source of beach fill. The dune would be vegetated with dune grasses, primarily American beach grass and sea oats. Construction would take approximately 8 months, from November 15 to July 31. The initial fill and the first advanced maintenance fill would require approximately 3.3 million cubic yards (cy) of material. The renourishment of beach fill would require 766,000 cy of material every three years. The minimum benefit-cost ratio is 1.0 to 1.4, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would reduce the adverse effects of hurricane waves and flooding, control erosion to arrest shoreline recession, improve the appearance and recreational quality of the beach, and provide protection to two threatened species (the loggerhead and green sea turtles). NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The dredging at offshore sites would temporarily increase turbidity and degrade water quality, and would also destroy benthic organisms that were picked up and pumped to the beach.

Preparation date: October 30, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REDSTONE ARSENAL BASE REALIGNMENT, MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 36412035; 3761 AB - PURPOSE: The realignment of various armament and chemical operations to Redstone Arsenal in north-central Alabama is proposed. The arsenal is located in the southwestern portion of Madison County near the city of Huntsville. The operations affected are the armament and chemical elements of the headquarters of the U.S. Army Armament, Munitions, and Chemical Command in Rock Island, Illinois; the U.S. Army Materiel Readiness Support Activity in the Lexington-Bluegrass Army Depot in Kentucky; the U.S. Army Logistic Control Activity in San Francisco, California; and the fuze development and production mission at the Harry Diamond Laboratories in Adelphi, Maryland. The relocations of these operations would result in the addition of approximately 1,900 civilian and military jobs at the arsenal. The positions transferred would include approximately 1,430 civilian and 80 military positions from the Illinois facility; 270 civilian and 10 military positions from the Kentucky facility; 120 civilian positions from the California facility; and approximately 30 civilian positions from the Maryland facility. The consolidation of related cataloging and logistics assistance at the arsenal would result in the additional employment of 300 civilian and 4 military personnel. Due to general reductions in the Army, the personnel strength of the U.S. Army Missile Command at the arsenal is scheduled to be reduced by approximately 250 positions; this reduction would partially offset the increases resulting from the proposed action and other realignments. The proposed realignment would require the construction of two new buildings and the expansion of a third building to accommodate the increase in the work force. The largest of these facilities is the proposed Armaments Support Annex, which would occupy 354,662 square feet, with offices, meeting rooms, and other support facilities to accommodate 1,900 people. The proposed Weapons Maintenance and Operations Center would occupy 47,180 square feet and accommodate up to 110 persons. Construction options for the proposed laboratory addition would involve either adding 21,504 square feet to the existing facility or constructing a new building with that same capacity. This facility would house the missile-related fuze development and production mission. Two or three sites are under consideration for each facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Related Army armament and chemical operations would be consolidated at one facility, enhancing productivity and reducing long-term costs. The realignment would also be in line with the overall reduction in Army force structure resulting from changing global security requirements. The realignment would have a small but positive effect on employment, business volume, and personal income within Madison County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The employment increase within the Redstone Arsenal would result in increased traffic congestion; traffic on three sections of road within the arsenal grounds would exceed road capacities.

Preparation date: October 29, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IH 94-GREEN BAY (RINGLE-SHAWANO), STH 29, MARATHON AND SHAWANO COUNTIES, WISCONSIN (PROJECT I.D. 1059-16-00; F20( )). AN - 36397303; 3817 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 in Marathon and Shawano counties, Wisconsin, is proposed. The 37-mile study corridor extends from the east end of the recently completed freeway section near Ringle in eastern Marathon County to a point approximately 0.5 miles west of Thornton in central Shawano County. STH 29 is the principal route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Interstate 94 and Minneapolis/St. Paul to the west with Green Bay/Fox River Valley to the east. High truck volumes, recreational peaks, poor roadway geometrics, and traffic operational characteristics have resulted in a low level of service for portions of STH 29 between Ringle and Shawano. As traffic volumes increase to those forecasted for the design year (2015), the highway's deficiencies will obstruct smooth and safe traffic flow more critically, and the level of service for the entire project corridor will become unsatisfactory. The proposed action would upgrade the existing two-lane highway section within the study corridor between Ringle and Thornton to a four-lane, divided highway with a 55-mile-per-hour design speed. For the most part, the project would involve adding two 12-foot-wide driving lanes and a 60-foot-wide median adjacent to the existing roadway, which would serve as two lanes of the completed four-lane facility. In general, except for the sections of STH 29 built in new locations, access to the highway from local roads and driveways would remain as direct at-grade connections. Where possible, the number of individual access points would be reduced through consolidation or new connections to an adjacent local road. The bypass alternatives would include local-road grade separations and interchanges with US 45. Some bridge work would be necessary to provide for the Wittenberg Bypass. Individual driveway connections to the bypass routes would not be allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The traffic conditions on STH 29 would improve substantially due to increased capacity and improved highway design. Projected traffic volumes through the year 2015 would be accommodated. Conflicts between cars and trucks and slow-moving farm equipment would be alleviated. Linkage of nearly one-third of the state's population would be improved. Improved accessibility would increase employment by 3 to 18 percent. A 20 percent increase in tourists using STH 29 between the Wausau and Green Bay areas would occur due to the improved highway. The bypass section would separate through and local traffic in the Wittenberg area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The right-of-way requirements would displace farmlands, wetlands, upland hardwood habitat, residences, businesses, and a day school. Archaeological and historical resource sites could also be displaced. The project would encounter hazardous materials sites. Noise levels at some receptor sites would exceed standards. Recreational trails and the Shawano County Forest Demonstration Area, a resource designed to illustrate different methods of timber harvesting, could be affected by construction activities.

Preparation date: October 29, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED SWINOMISH MARINA, LA CONNER, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36414051; 3833 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a 786-slip saltwater marina and related upland support facilities by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community on a 136-acre site located on the west shore of the Swinomish Channel, immediately north of State Route 20 near La Conner, Skagit County, Washington, is proposed. The project's waterborne development includes 3,350 lineal feet of combined floating rubble-mound breakwater and timber seawall, 16,000 lineal feet of slip space built into 15 walkways totaling 8,800 lineal feet, a fuel dock, a four-lane boat launch, and a boat repair basin. The 41-acre marina basin would have approximately 331 covered moorage slips and 455 uncovered slips. Also proposed for construction are a marina services building, selected retail shops, a marine supply store, a secondary sewage treatment plant, highway on/off-ramp improvements, highway-related retail facilities, a boat trailer parking area, a fuel dock, a 40-unit motel, marine-related office space, dry storage, a service station, and a light-industrial operating area. Construction of the boat basin would require excavation of approximately 1.017 million cubic yards (cy) of sand and silt over an area of 43 acres. Approximately 600,000 cy of dredged material would be used on-site for constructing the common excavation dike. Of the remaining dredged material, 292,600 cy would be used at a proposed mitigation site and the rest would be disposed of at other upland locations on the reservation. The proposed mitigation site would be a 55-acre parcel of agricultural land adjacent to and west of the Swinomish Channel, about one mile south of the proposed marina site. Approximately 23 acres of the mitigation site would be restored to intertidal pickleweed habitat, and approximately 11, 0.7, and 4 acres of mud flat, dune, and subtidal habitat, respectively, would also be created at the site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed marina would serve two primary purposes: to meet the moorage needs of the recreational boating public, and to provide economic development opportunities for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. The proposed project would generate a minimum of 100 construction jobs, plus up to 230 permanent jobs for members of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. These jobs would provide an economic stimulus to the community. The site would be altered from a commercial bingo parlor and vacant uplands to a marina with upland support facilities. A maximum of 29,850 annual boat trips, with a maximum of 8,000 peak-month trips, 640 peak-day trips, and 96 peak-hour trips, are estimated for the marina. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in an increased risk of accidental spills of oil or sewage into open water. The project would eliminate 9.4 acres of dune vegetation and 26 acres of upland meadows on the site. The dredge-and-fill operations would alter on-site elevations, and would result in the combined net loss of 9 acres of wetland (salt marsh) and 27 acres of intertidal mud flat at the project site. Some 55 acres of agricultural land would be permanently altered. There would be a reduction in the salmon-rearing capacity of the project site, and bird populations could be reduced by an estimated one-third. The reduction of eelgrass, mud flat, and salt marsh habitat would be detrimental to benthic invertebrate populations. Increases in noise and human activity in the site vicinity could affect harbor seals, river otters, birds, and other wildlife. Decreased prey and habitat availability and increased human action would permanently displace wintering bald eagles and peregrine falcons at the site. Additional impervious surfaces at the site would increase storm water runoff.

Preparation date: October 26, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WISCONSIN STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 29, IH 94 TO STH 29/CTH ""J'' INTERCHANGE, DUNN AND CHIPPEWA COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36410713; 3816 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 to a four-lane, divided facility between Interstate 94 (I-94) near Elk Mound, Wisconsin, and County Trunk Highway (CTH) J east of Chippewa Falls is proposed. The project would begin at I-94 in eastern Dunn County, cross the Chippewa River, and end at the existing STH 29 and CTH J intersection in south-central Chippewa County, a distance of about 21 miles. STH 29 functions as the primary, and most heavily traveled, route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Green Bay to the east with I-94 and the Twin Cities to the west. Twelve build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Under all build alternatives, it is proposed that east of the Chippewa River, access be limited to grade- separated interchanges. Overpasses and underpasses would be provided where necessary to maintain local circulation. West of the river, interchanges would be built where traffic warrants them; other access would be at-grade. Direct driveway and farm accesses would be eliminated or combined where possible. In order to improve operations at the I-94/STH 29 interchange, the build alternatives would include realignment of both STH 40 and US 12 approximately one mile east of the interchange; there are two additional build alternatives for this realignment. Key issues considered in the draft EIS include crossing the Chippewa River dells area; the type of facility to be built; wetlands; bald eagle nesting sites; the use of public recreation land; noise; aesthetics; impacts to surface water and groundwater resources; and socioeconomic impacts. Costs of the project would total $58.9 million to $70.8 million for STH 29 improvement, and $1.5 million to $2.4 million for the STH 40 /US 12 realignment, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the corridor, which carries a high volume of truck traffic, would save travel time and reduce accidents. A more efficient highway network would provide statewide economic benefits, as transportation costs and access to high-quality four-lane highways are factors affecting business location decisions. Tourism could increase as tourists gained better access to vacation and recreation areas. The ultimate impact of these economic benefits would be to generate more jobs and income for Wisconsin residents. A bypass of Chippewa Falls would reduce congestion for local traffic as well as eliminate delays for through traffic. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would impact 31.9 to 97.4 wetland acres, 100.1 to 269.8 upland woodlot acres, 466 to 848 agricultural acres, 2 to 7 cultural resource sites, 2 to 7 hazardous waste sites, and 1 to 4 farmsteads. Relocations would be required for 21 to 48 residential properties and 3 to 15 commercial properties. Some alternatives would cross Hallie Town Park with main-line traffic, segmenting the contiguous area available for park use. In addition, some alternatives would impact the Chippewa River dells, the largest remaining dells in western Wisconsin and a valuable visual resource.

Preparation date: October 26, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 151 BYPASS, CTH ""D'' TO PEEBLES, FOND DU LAC COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36409452; 3815 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to US 151 in and near the city of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, are proposed. The highway is a major route linking recreational, residential, and commercial resources in Fond du Lac County with the surrounding region. The highway serves as the primary route between Madison and Fond du Lac and carries high volumes of out-of-town truck and local automobile traffic. In downtown Fond du Lac, US 151 has serious capacity and geometric deficiencies resulting in constricted turning movements, congestion, delays, lowered levels of service, truck-automobile-pedestrian conflicts, and accident rates four to ten times higher than the statewide urban average rates. The proposed action involves constructing an 11-mile bypass around the south and east sides of Fond du Lac, extending from the intersection of the existing US 151 and CTH ""D,'' southwest of the city, to the intersection of the existing US 151 and STH 149, northeast of the city near Peebles. The proposed highway would be an access- controlled, two-lane facility built on a four-lane right-of-way with a 50-foot median. Another two lanes would be built when traffic volumes warranted their construction. In addition to the No Action Alternative, two build alternatives (Alternatives 1 and 1-1A-1) are under consideration. The two alternatives follow identical alignments throughout most of their proposed lengths; however, near the southeastern corner of the city, Alternative 1-1A-1 dips to the south and east in order to avoid impacting a subdivision and campground. Consequently, this alternative is 0.8 miles longer than Alternative 1. The estimated construction costs for Alternatives 1 and 1-1A-1 are $37.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively. The total costs for Alternatives 1 and 1-1A-1 are $42 million and $42.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion and decrease accident potential within the city of Fond du Lac, reducing downtown traffic by an estimated 2,700 vehicles per day by the year 2020. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 1 would require the relocation of five residences and one business, displace 304 acres of farmland and 4.6 acres of wetlands, and affect two archaeological sites. Alternative 1-A-1 would require the relocation of two residences and one business, displace 322 acres of farmland and 5.5 acres of wetlands, and affect three archaeological sites and one historical property. The alignments under both alternatives would cross the state-owned Wild Goose Recreational Trail.

Preparation date: October 16, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 610 FROM I-94 IN MAPLE GROVE TO TH 252 IN BROOKLYN PARK, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1982). AN - 36396674; 3805 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new ten-mile trunk highway connecting Interstate 94 (I-94) in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and TH 252 in Brooklyn Park is proposed. The project area is located in the northwestern suburbs of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The proposed new highway, to be known as TH 610, would be a four-lane, east-west freeway with interchanges located approximately one mile apart and grade separations. In addition to the regional access interchanges at I-94, TH 169, and TH 252, three local access interchanges would be provided in Maple Grove and three in Brooklyn Park. The construction of this segment of TH 610 was proposed in a draft EIS of April 1981 as part of a larger highway construction program; however, the final EIS of August 1982 covered only those portions of the program for which funding was available. Those segments included TH 610 from TH 252 to TH 10 in Coon Rapids, and TH 252 from I-94 in Brooklyn Center to TH 610 in Brooklyn Park; both segments were constructed and opened to traffic in the fall of 1987. Since that time, additional funds have become available to construct the remaining segment of TH 610 from I-94 to TH 252. Only two alternatives are under consideration: the proposed action and the No Action Alternative. The proposed project would include some transportation system management components, such as high- occupancy-vehicle lanes and two or three park-and-ride lots. The estimated construction cost of the project is $115 million in 1992 dollars. The estimated right-of-way acquisition cost is $4 million in 1992 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would be a substantial addition to the transportation network in the metropolitan area. It would stimulate business and employment growth in the corridor and relieve existing and projected traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed construction would displace 31 residences and three businesses, encroach upon 40 acres of wetlands and 65 acre-feet of floodplain, and result in the loss of 59 acres of prime farmland. Portions of the proposed alignment would traverse developed areas; up to 511 parcels would be out of compliance with federal nighttime noise standards, and up to 31 parcels would be out of compliance with daylight standards. These effects would be lessened considerably if 20-foot-high noise walls were constructed near the affected areas. A historic farmhouse eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places would be removed to allow for construction of the proposed Zachary Lane interchange with TH 610. Furthermore, approximately four undeveloped acres of the Elm Creek Park Reserve would be displaced.

Preparation date: October 16, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERIM COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVER FLOW IMPROVEMENT MEASURES FOR SALMON; OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1992). AN - 36405078; 3831 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of flow regimes associated with eight projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is proposed to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon upstream to the Brownlee Reservoir on the middle Snake River in Idaho, and farther upstream to Arrow Lakes on the upper Columbia River in Canada. The water management actions under consideration would be implemented at three storage reservoirs (Dworshak, Grand Coulee, and Brownlee) and five mainstream run-of-river dams operated by the Corps of Engineers. (The indirect effects of these system operation changes on Libby and Hungry Horse reservoirs in Montana are included in this analysis.) The dams are operated to meet multiple needs, including navigation, flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. This draft supplement to the final EIS of January 1992 responds to two actions of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS): in November 1991, NMFS declared the Snake River sockeye salmon an endangered species, and in April 1992, NMFS listed the Snake River chinook salmon as a threatened species. In taking these actions, NMFS identified hydropower development within the Columbia River Basin as one of the factors contributing to the decline of salmon populations. The final EIS had recommended increasing the velocity of river flow to move the juvenile salmon downstream more rapidly and reduce their exposure to predators, but the scope of that EIS was limited to actions implemented in 1992. This draft supplement considers the implementation of flow improvement measures in 1993 and subsequent years. Five alternatives are under consideration in this draft supplement, including a No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 4), most actions occurring during the 1992 operating year would be recommended for 1993 and thereafter. These actions include lowering pool elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration, and discharging additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. The Snake River flow augmentation plan would involve the discharge from Dworshak of 900,000 acre-feet (af) in the spring and 470,000 af in the summer; from Brownlee of 137,000 af in July and 100,000 af in September; and from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee of up to 190,000 af. Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing the flows for upstream and downstream migration, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The drawdown of the reservoirs would have an adverse effect on resident fish populations. The lowered pool elevations and flow augmentation actions would result in lost hydroelectric generation and operating flexibility, and would probably require the purchase of power from outside the region at an estimated cost of $66 million to $93 million. The exposed shorelines at the drawn-down reservoirs would detract from their visual quality. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

AN - 36409177; 3801 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided highway in Jackson, Lawrence, Craighead, and Poinsett counties in northeastern Arkansas is proposed. The proposed project would extend north to south approximately 32 to 37 miles, connecting Newport and Walnut Ridge /Hoxie and providing an improved route to Jonesboro. The proposed project would upgrade a portion of US 67, which extends from a point near the Texas/Mexico border to Little Rock, Arkansas, then to St. Louis, Missouri, and ultimately to Clinton, Iowa. A No Action Alternative, an alternative that would use the existing US 67 corridor, and five new-location alternatives (Alternatives 1-5) are under consideration. All new alignments would begin northeast of Newport at State Highway (SH) 18, would take a northeastern route roughly parallel to US 67, and would end at the proposed Walnut Ridge/Hoxie bypass (US 63). All alternatives would involve upgrading SH 226 to a four-lane, undivided facility between the selected alternative for US 67 and US 63 in Jonesboro; this connector to Jonesboro would have a right-of-way width of 175 feet and a total length of 15 to 27 miles, depending on which main-line alignment was selected. The right-of-way of the main-line highway would be 300 feet wide, with two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction separated by a variable-width median. The Jonesboro connector would have a 175-foot-wide right-of-way and four 12-foot travel lanes with a painted median. The estimated construction and right-of-way costs range from $174.4 million to $214 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion along the existing US 67, enhance economic development in northeastern Arkansas, and improve commerce and travel between Newport, Walnut Ridge, and Jonesboro. Furthermore, the new route would improve the transportation link between Little Rock and St. Louis. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, 22 to 144 residences, 10 to 55 businesses, and 1 to 3 nonprofit services would be relocated. Wetland losses would range from 45 to 151 acres. Noise levels would increase substantially in selected areas; up to 317 sensitive receptors would be impacted. Up to 1,705 acres of prime farmland would be converted to highway right-of-way.

The proposed project would constitute a segment of a continuous loop around Fayetteville, and would encompass an area of about 24 square miles. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The three primary build alternatives all share a western terminus at the All American Freeway between the Gruber Road and Shaw Road interchanges, and an eastern terminus at the US 13 interchange with I-95. The first alternative would traverse the study area south of Andrews Road before crossing the Cape Fear River and terminating at I-95. The second would follow the same alignment as the first to a point near the eastern boundary of Fort Bragg and MacArthur Road, and would then head in a northeasterly direction to McCloskey Road and generally parallel McCloskey Road before crossing the Cape Fear River and terminating at I-95. The third would follow the alignment of the second to McCloskey Road, continue in a northeasterly direction to cross US 401 north of Slocomb Road, and then turn southeast to cross the Cape Fear River and continue to the I-95 terminus. Each primary alternative has an alternative segment located near the eastern boundary of Fort Bragg near MacArthur Road. The total costs for the project range from $128.9 million to $141.1 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion and improve traffic safety in the Fayetteville central business district and in the Fort Bragg vicinity. Traffic volumes in the area are projected to increase greatly by the year 2010, drastically lowering levels of service and increasing accident rates on existing circumferential roadways; therefore, a continuous loop or circumferential route with increased capacity is needed around Fayetteville. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternative selected, 105 to 243 residences and 10 to 17 businesses would be relocated; in addition, two churches, a cemetery, and 3 to 13 archaeological sites eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places would also be threatened by some of the alternatives. Two neighborhoods would be disrupted by construction and relocations. Noise levels would increase along the project corridor, requiring the construction of noise barriers at a cost of $1,242,317. The construction of stream crossings would increase downstream sedimentation and turbidity. The project would encroach upon 3,960 to 5,205 feet of the Cape Fear River and associated creek and tributary floodways and floodplains. It would cause impacts to 111 to 174 acres of wetlands, 321 to 402 acres of upland forest, and 111 to 313 acres of cultivated fields. Colony sites and habitat of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker would be threatened or displaced by the project.

Preparation date: October 8, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHERN BYPASS AND WEATHERLY ROAD EXTENSION, HOBBS ISLAND TO I-565, CITY OF HUNTSVILLE AND MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA (PROJECTS M-8508(1) AND ST-697-7). AN - 36395993; 3799 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane, divided, limited-access highway between south and west Huntsville, Alabama, is proposed. The proposed project would provide an alternative north-south corridor to link a rapidly growing employment base in northwestern Huntsville, the expanding U.S. Army Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal, and a developing residential area in southeastern Huntsville. The proposed project would consist of two segments: a Southern Bypass beginning at Memorial Parkway, across from Hobbs Island Road and north of the Tennessee River, and ending at Interstate 565 and Rideout Road in west Huntsville; and a Weatherly Road extension project extending the existing Weatherly Road from Memorial Parkway to the proposed Southern Bypass. Three alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives differ in the alignment of the Southern Bypass. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 10), the Southern Bypass would extend 14.9 miles, with a portion crossing Redstone Arsenal property and interchanges at Hobbs Island Road, Green Cove Road, Redstone Road, Weatherly Road, Martin Road, Triana Boulevard, Patton Road, Burose Road, Toftoy Freeway, Morris Road, Rideout Road, and Goss Road within the arsenal. Frontage roads for the bypass would be required at various locations throughout the arsenal boundaries of the corridor; at Neal Road, between Triana Boulevard and Martin Road; and on the west side of the bypass along Rideout Road between Overlook and Hale roads. A limited-access service road would be required under the bridge structure south of Martin Road to allow city maintenance crews access to a sewer line. The Weatherly Road extension would be about 4.5 miles long, and would end at the interchange with the proposed Southern Bypass. Total costs for the preferred alternative would be $123.2 million for the Southern Bypass ($50 million less than for the other build alternative) and $37.3 million for the Weatherly Road extension. The City of Huntsville Planning Department also proposes the construction of pedestrian and bicycle trails along the Southern Bypass and the Weatherly Road extension. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an alternative north-south corridor with more capacity to move the projected higher volume of area traffic efficiently and safely than the already overcrowded Memorial Parkway. Short-term economic benefits during highway construction would include increased employment opportunities and increased demand for goods and services. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the Southern Bypass would convert 27 acres of farmland and 28.9 acres of woodland to highway use; the Weatherly Road extension would convert 18 acres of farmland, 13 acres of woodland, and 4.5 acres of urban land. Impacts to wetlands are unavoidable under the build alternatives, as wetlands cover a third of the study area; under the preferred alternative, approximately 86 acres of wetlands would be bridged, and 4.1 acres would be displaced by fill. The preferred alternative would impact eight sites that are eligible to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building of the Southern Bypass would restrict access to some businesses in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: October 8, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MYRTLE BEACH AND VICINITY SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, HORRY AND GEORGETOWN COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36412924; 3832 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of 22.6 miles of protective beach along the northeastern coast of South Carolina in Horry and Georgetown counties is proposed. The project area encompasses three separate reaches within the Grand Strand area: North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, and Surfside Beach/Garden City. The purpose of the construction is to protect the beaches and beachfront developments from normal erosion and from abnormal tides resulting from winter storms and hurricanes, such as Hurricane Hugo, which caused extensive erosion and property damage in September 1989. The initial construction would involve building a protective berm to a height of nine feet national geodetic vertical datum and a top width of 15 feet. Beach nourishment would be required once every eight years. Most of the borrow would be obtained from inland sites, and offshore sites would be investigated during preconstruction studies. In North Myrtle Beach, 8.1 miles of beach would be restored from Hog Inlet to South 48th Avenue. Initial construction would place 1.8 million cubic yards (cy) of sand on the beach, including 342,000 cy for advance nourishment. Periodic nourishment would require about 395,000 cy of sand. In Myrtle Beach, 8.8 miles of beach would be restored from North 82nd Avenue to South 29th Avenue. Initial construction would place 1.9 million cy of sand on the beach, including 342,000 cy for advance nourishment. Periodic nourishment would require about 430,000 cy of sand. In Garden City/Surfside Beach, 5.7 miles of beach would be restored from the northern city limits of Surfside Beach to approximately 1.2 miles south of the Georgetown/Horry county line. Initial construction would place 1.2 million cy of sand on the beach, including 240,000 cy for advance nourishment. Periodic nourishment would require about 280,000 cy of sand. The proposed action is the only alternative under consideration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would provide storm protection for valuable beachfront property and help ensure the viability of the area's tourist-oriented economy. In 1991, approximately 10.6 million people visited the Grand Strand area and spent approximately $2.2 billion. An additional intertidal beach would be created and maintained which would benefit a variety of invertebrates, birds, and fish. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Hopper dredging would temporarily increase turbidities in the immediate vicinity of the offshore sites being dredged, and in the immediate vicinity of the beaches where the material was being placed. The dredging could also degrade water quality, and would destroy benthic organisms that were picked up and pumped to the beach. Placement of sand on tidal and subtidal beaches would smother some organisms inhabiting the beach. The presence of dredging equipment would increase noise and temporarily degrade the aesthetic values of the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Water Resources Development Act of 1990.

AN - 73358058; 1280584 AB - A need in the field of toxicity testing is the development of parallel tests applicable to all levels of biological organization: single-species tests alone cannot predict effects at ecosystem levels. Scope for change in ascendency (SfCA) is a comparative index applicable to the short-term assessment of stress effects on any biological system. The SfCA of a community, defined by analogy to scope for growth of an organism, is the balance of ascendency (network size and organization) of population inputs and outputs. It takes into account the interrelated processes of growth and development, both of which can be affected by stress factors. To illustrate this approach, the effect of atrazine on SfCA of a simple epilimnetic microcosm community was investigated. Simultaneous, short-term measurements of all carbon flows between populations were made and SfCA was calculated. Compounded effects of stress on populations, measured as a relative drop in community SfCA in the presence of atrazine, were observed within 2-3 weeks. This indicates that SfCA may be useful as a comparative index for the short-term assessment of perturbation effects. A refinement of the methodology for measuring resource flows at levels other than the organism would allow full advantage of this assessment tool to be taken.

The ability to invert resistivity data successfully depends on the uniqueness of the model as well as the robustness of the inversion algorithm. To study the problems of model uniqueness and resolution, theoretical data are inverted using variations of a nonlinear least-squares inversion. It is only through model studies such as this one, where the true solutions are known, that realistic and meaningful comparisons of inversion methods can be undertaken. The data are inverted using three schemes of fixed-layer thickness where only the resistivity varies, and the results are compared to the variable parameter inversion where both the layer resistivities and thicknesses are allowed to vary. The purpose of fixing the layer thicknesses is to reduce the number of parameters solved for during the inversion process. By doing this, nonuniqueness may be reduced. The fixed-layer thickness schemes are uniform thickness, geometrical progression of thickness, and logarithmic progression of thickness. By applying each inversion scheme to different models, the layer thickness that minimizes the data rms error for various numbers of layers is determined. The curve of data rms error versus model rms error consists of three general regions: unique, nonunique, and no resolution. A good inversion routine simultaneously minimizes the data rms and model rms errors. The variable parameter scheme is best at simultaneously minimizing the data rms and model rms errors for models that can be resolved through the inversion process. The optimum number of layers in the model can be determined by using a modified F-test.

AN - 36404550; 3806 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an 18-mile, access-controlled highway providing access to and from the city of Branson, Missouri, is proposed. In recent years the Branson area has experienced extraordinary growth in tourism as a result of newly constructed country music entertainment facilities, theme parks, and other recreational facilities. The new highway, to be known as the Ozark Mountain Highroad, would extend westerly a distance of four miles from the vicinity of the existing US 65/Route F intersection, four miles north of Branson, and then southerly across Lake Taneycomo and southeasterly to another intersection with US 65, approximately five miles south of Branson. In addition to the two interchanges with US 65, the highway would have interchanges at Route 248, Route 76, Route 165, and Route 165/265. Two of these interchanges would involve relocating existing roadways: approximately 3,700 feet of Route 76 would be relocated to a site immediately west of the Henning State Forest, and one mile of Route 165 north of the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery would be relocated in order to improve the interchange location. The hatchery operates on lands leased from the Army Corps of Engineers. The Lake Taneycomo crossing is proposed to be a clear span crossing the lake at a location that would minimize potential impacts to the fish hatchery. The proposed roadway would consist of two traffic lanes in each direction, with full shoulders, separated by a variable-width median. The roadway line and grade would be adapted to fit the rolling terrain of the project area. A design speed of 55 miles per hour is proposed. Four alternatives are under consideration: a No Action Alternative, a Transportation Systems Management Alternative, and Build Alternatives A and B. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative (Alternative A) is $140 million to $165 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide safe, efficient, and convenient traffic service to an area experiencing significant population growth and traffic congestion. The yearly delay on Route 76, the major east-west route, is estimated to be over one million vehicle-hours and approximately 2.4 to 3.0 million person-hours. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements under the preferred alternative would involve the acquisition of 1,356 acres of land and the displacement of approximately 22 residences, two businesses, and eight acres of prime farmland. Many of the residential displacements would occur in the Table Rock Town site, which would also be impacted by significant increases in highway noise. The new highway would increase storm water runoff carrying roadborne pollutants into the creeks in the project area. The proposed alignment would affect several historic properties in the Fall Creek Valley and several prehistoric habitation sites in the Lake Taneycomo area.

Issues that were emphasized include the use of large domains, the importance of a high degree of grid resolution in coastal regions of interest, the use of meshes with highly varying nodal densities to minimize the size of the discrete problem, and the use of the generalized wave-continuity equation (GWCE) for FE-based solutions to the shallow-water equations. The computations presented are unprecedented in their scope, level of localized detail, and degree of grid-size variability. The GWCE-based FE model leads to very accurate and efficient flow results which are inherently smooth without the use of numerical or nonphysical damping; the algorithms applied lead the very good central-processing unit performance.

Dynamic physical conditions imposed by tidal regimes, including salinity changes and variable patterns of vegetation inundation, necessitate that plans for individual projects be site specific. Because 'maturation' of a created marsh is a long-term process, the success or failure of individual projects may not become apparent for many years. Consequently, many lessons can be learned by retrospectively examining completed projects. In the Pacific Northwest, Wetlands Research Program studies have been initiated at a site in Tacoma, WA, where a mitigation project for establishment an intertidal wetland in a highly urbanized setting is located. Originally known as the Lincoln Avenue Wetland for its location, the site was later designated the Gog-le-hi-te Wetland as suggested by the Puyallup Indian Tribal Council. Although relatively small in size, the Gog-le-hi-te project is unusual for the Pacific coast, being one of very few examples of wetland reclamation from an existing landfill. As part of the mitigation process, the Port Authority of Tacoma was obligated to maintain the habitat complex in perpetuity and to sponsor a 5-yr monitoring program (beginning in 1988) overseen by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Components of the monitoring plan included assessments of the survival of transplanted marsh vegetation, recruitment to the benthic community, and habitat use by fish and bird populations. In subsequent years, additional factors relevant to functional values of the created marsh, such as development of insect populations, were monitored. At the conclusion of the 5-yr monitoring effort, the wetland was still in a dynamic state.

Since development, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has broadened application of the structure to include energy dissipation. Although the ARS structure is an effective means of stabilizing a stream channel, it is vulnerable during construction, requires refinement to be an effective energy dissipator, and is hydraulically submerged at moderate discharges. A model study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the ARS structure for high submergence conditions, to determine if the baffle plate could be replaced by H-piles, to evaluate the basin effectiveness by reducing the depth, and to evaluate the structure during flow frequency events greater than 10 years. Test parameters included the discharges ranging from 2,200 cu ft/sec to 6,800 cu ft/sec, and 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50, and 1.75 submergence levels. The study results indicated that the basin baffle can be replaced by two rows of H-piles (seven H-piles) without a reduction in basin efficiency while improving overall basin flow conditions. The riprap becomes unstable using current design procedures. Also, a coefficient-of-discharge relationship was developed. Further, the stilling basin depth can be reduced by approximately 3.0 ft without loss of basin effectiveness.

AN - 36396045; 3800 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 would provide a logical extension of the transportation network serving the central Kenai Peninsula. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Both build alternatives would cross the Kenai River with a 40-foot-wide bridge and provide a two-lane rural secondary highway between the Sterling Highway and Funny River Road. 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. To meet the state's request to mitigate potential impacts on the river's shoreline, a boat launch and parking facility would be constructed at the proposed bridge crossing site to provide river access. Under the preferred alternative, construction would begin at the Funny River Road intersection with Rabbit Run Road, and terminate at the Sterling Highway/Swanson River Road intersection, utilizing existing portions of Scout Lake Loop Road and Alderwood Drive. The total length of the highway would be 2.4 miles, which includes approximately 0.7 miles of new two-lane highway construction and 1.7 miles of upgrade. The total ROW requirements would be 23 parcels (12 acres), which would cost $510,000. The crossing for the 550-foot-long bridge would be at river mile 34. Four acres of palustrine wetlands would be covered with 43,840 cubic yards of fill. The total project cost would be about $8 million. Three alternative bridge designs are being considered for the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in an improved highway network; opportunities for dispersed recreational development; improved access to vital services, such as emergency vehicles, for Funny River residents; 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: Wetlands would suffer a net loss under the preferred alternative. Contaminated runoff into the Kenai River would increase with greater traffic volumes. The improved access to the river by way of the proposed boat launch would result in greater pollutant discharge and seasonal turbidity in the river.

Preparation date: September 30, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 45 TO US 41 (US 10), WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36411639; 3814 AB - PURPOSE: The relocation of US 10 in Winnebago County in northeastern Wisconsin is proposed. US 10 is a major arterial highway that serves the Fox River Valley, including the communities of Appleton, Menasha, Grand Chute, and Greenville. The project area begins at the intersection of the current US 10 and US 45 at Greenville and extends to the intersection of the current US 10 and State Highway (SH) 441 in Appleton, a length of 8.6 miles. This segment of highway has 18 traffic signal installations and roadway widths ranging from 24 to 64 feet. Traffic along the current US 10 is projected to increase 49 to 66 percent by the year 2015, which would result in a volume of 10,700 to 47,850 vehicles per day, depending on which section of the highway is being analyzed. The present volume is a mix of large-truck through traffic and local traffic, and accident rates along certain sections of the highway are currently well in excess of statewide averages. Eight alternatives were initially considered, but only one relocation alternative (Alternative 3) was brought forward for serious consideration, and it became the preferred alternative. From the intersection of the current US 10 and US 45, this route would proceed southerly approximately 3.8 miles along the current US 45 to a point approximately 0.25 miles north of Fairview Road. From this point, the route would proceed easterly on a new alignment approximately 3.3 miles to the intersection of American Drive and the current SH 441. The route would proceed along the current SH 441 to its intersection with the current US 10 in Appleton. The new highway would consist of two 12-foot-wide driving lanes in each direction, separated by a 60-foot-wide median. Local roads would be grade separated. The Little Lake Butte des Morts bridge would be widened from four to six lanes to meet traffic needs. The existing US 41/SH 441 interchange would be improved to facilitate freeway-to-freeway traffic movements. Two new interchanges would be constructed, one at US 45 and the other at the West Side Arterial. The estimated total cost of project is $42.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed relocation of US 10 would divert through truck traffic away from local communities and congested intersections, reducing the accident rate and improving overall traffic safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would convert approximately 2.5 acres of wetlands and displace a total of 114 acres, including 104 acres of farmland, six residences, and three businesses. The corridor would sever two farms, although access from abutting roads would be available. In total, eight farms would be affected negatively. The highway structures would encroach onto the 100-year floodplain of Little Lake Butte des Morts, but would not affect water surface elevation or the available flood storage area.

Preparation date: September 14, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETIC ENERGY STORAGE--ENGINEERING TEST MODEL (SMES--ETM). AN - 36409190; 3797 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an engineering test model of a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system by the Department of Defense, in cooperation with the Department of Energy (DOE), is proposed. Small SMES systems with storage capacities of less than one megawatt-hour (MWh), or 3,600 magajoules (MJ), are presently available commercially. The proposed model would be 20 times as powerful, with storage capacities greater than 20 MWh, or 72,000 MJ, and would be used to store electrical energy in the form of a direct current magnetic field in an approximately 430-foot-diameter superconducting coil. There are no validated military uses of an SMES model. The DOE is soliciting comments from the electric utility industry to determine whether such a system could be used to store electrical energy during low-demand periods and then deliver that energy in high-demand periods, at higher repetition rates and with greater efficiencies than are currently possible with batteries, capacitors, pumped hydrostorage, or compressed air storage. In addition to the 430-foot-diameter coil, the proposed model would include cryogenic and refrigeration systems to cool the coil and maintain the low temperature necessary for its superconducting capability; power conversion equipment to connect the coil to the utility network; a structural support system to contain the coil and protect it from the environment; and administrative, maintenance, and research buildings. The superconducting coil would occupy an area of approximately five acres, and the entire facility would occupy an area of less than 100 acres. The facility would be surrounded by a security fence to restrict public access to the magnetic field and protect the public from standard industrial equipment hazards. Five sites are under consideration for the SMES model; each of the sites is associated with an electric utility that would serve as sponsor. The proposed sites are the White Sands Missile Range in Otero County, New Mexico; the Orogrande site, also in Otero County, New Mexico; the Badger Army Ammunition Plant in Sauk County, Wisconsin; the Hanford site in southeastern Washington State, which is administered by the Bonneville Power Administration; and the Monahans site in Ward County, Texas. The estimated cost of the project is $400 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Utility equipment works most efficiently when producing electricity at a constant rate. The proposed model would enable a utility to store an inventory of electrical energy when demand was low and deliver electricity from storage when demand was high. The model would also enable a utility to meet sudden, unexpected increases in customer demand, as well as store renewable, intermittent energy, such as solar- and wind-generated power. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Exposure to the magnetic field would pose some threat to human health, although this threat would lessen as the distance from the coil increased. At 0.5 miles from the center of the coil, the magnetic force would be equal to that of the earth's natural field. Immediately above the coil, however, the magnetic field would be approximately 14,000 times as great as the geomagnetic field. There is some possibility that such an intense force would affect the behavior of bees and some migratory birds, which derive directional cues from the geomagnetic field in the absence of direct sunlight. It is equally possible that the magnetic field could disturb the accuracy of aircraft navigation systems and electronic instruments. Numerous endangered and threatened species, as well as candidate species, are found on most sites; two of the five sites include historical and archaeological resources.

Preparation date: September 11, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO GRANDE FLOODWAY, SAN ACACIA TO BOSQUE DEL APACHE UNIT, SOCORRO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MAY 1974). AN - 36407564; 3829 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control for communities within the Rio Grande floodplain in Socorro County, New Mexico, is proposed. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1974 on the construction of two dry reservoirs for flood and sediment control addresses alternative plans developed to provide higher levels of flood protection to floodplain communities, farmland, and wildlife habitat in the area extending from the San Acacia Diversion Dam to the headwaters of Elephant Butte Reservoir. The recommended alternative would involve reconstruction of 54.3 miles of levee parallel to the west bank of the Rio Grande between the river and the low-flow channel. The initial 4,500 feet of the levee would divert from the existing alignment in order to accommodate the complex of the irrigation diversion dam, Socorro irrigation canal and flume, low-flow conveyance channel, railroad tracks, and river channel. The project would begin at the base of the mesa that is located at the western abutment of the diversion dam and would proceed along the railroad embankment and the low-flow conveyance channel for 4,500 feet before joining the existing alignment. The first 350 feet of the project would consist of a reinforced concrete floodwall; the next 4,150 feet would consist of a levee section with protective soil cement on its riverward side and a vertical panel wall on its landward side. The center 43.0-mile section of levee would retain most of the riverward side of the embankment, except for a 6.6-mile section that would require the removal of the riverside slope and any associated vegetation. The crest of the reconstructed levee would be 15 feet wide and would accommodate a gravel-surfaced road. This section of levee would have 1-vertical-to-2.5-horizontal side slopes. Most of the remaining 10.5-mile section would be removed entirely and replaced with an engineered levee. Flatter side slopes of 1 vertical to 3 horizontal would be required in this lower reach because of the sandy character of embankment materials and the greater height of the levee. The design capacity of the reconstructed levee would be 51,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the diversion dam, and would decrease to 39,000 cfs at the lower end. A gated floodwall structure would be used where the levee crosses Brown's Arroyo, which is located approximately one mile south of the city of Socorro. The levee rehabilitation would require an estimated 7.3 million cubic yards (cy) of compacted earth. Most of that would be supplied from the existing embankment, although approximately 1.8 million cy would be acquired from off-site borrow sources for use in the 10.5-mile section requiring considerable rehabilitation. The estimated cost of the project in 1991 dollars is $49.5 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 2.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed levee would provide protection to life and property in the event of a 100-year flood in the communities located on the floodplain west of the Rio Grande, while providing enhanced flood protection to the low-flow conveyance channel and to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. The sedimentation of the low-flow channel and receiving waters would also decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 32 acres of salt cedar would be removed from the embankment, along with 3.6 acres of mixed saplings and 60 acres of grassland and shrub land. The project could displace 12 to 14 acres of wetlands; if so, new wetlands would be developed as one of the mitigation measures.

This plan would require the filling of 111 acres of waters and wetlands within the project area and the filling of an additional 23.6 acres for roadway construction and flood control improvement. As compensation for the wetlands lost, the privately owned sections of the Bolsa Chica lowlands (775 acres) would be transferred to public or private ownership for the purpose of wetlands restoration. Part of the lowlands would be restored by the permit applicant to facilitate the planned construction activities, while the remainder would be made available to third parties for restoration. Under the proposed plan (Alternative 1), a total of 1,109.4 acres would function as a restored wetlands system. The estimated cost of restoration would be roughly $101 million. Lowland infrastructure improvements would include a Cross Gap Connector roadway linking Bolsa Chica Street to Garfield Avenue and improvements to Wintersburg Flood Control Channel. Additional improvements would include the construction of a linear regional park on approximately 106 acres along Huntington Central Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Although some wetlands would be lost initially, the overall objective of the proposed plan is to restore many acres of wetlands from a degraded condition and remove roadway, drill pads, and other fill in the lowlands. The proposed infrastructure would serve the needs of new residents to the area while also relieving congestion on other area roadways. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would introduce urban development into an open-space area, and the filling of wetlands for urban uses would significantly disrupt an ecosystem. Under the wetlands restoration plan, approximately 300 linear feet of beach would be lost and the risk of beach erosion elsewhere would increase. The upland nesting and foraging habitat for raptors would be permanently lost, and upland development would displace the habitat of the California horned lark, causing its elimination from the area. Construction activities would further degrade the already poor air quality in the area, while the changes to the infrastructure and increase in population would increase long-term pollutant levels. The population increase would also increase local demand for public services. In addition, the project would degrade the views from Bolsa Chica State Beach and the Pacific Coast Highway.

Even though low-head hydropower projects are usually found on impounded river systems, where the flow-through rate is high and many deeper reservoir processes are not prevalent, the water quality, as indicated by dissolved oxygen (DO), can sometimes become degraded to unacceptable levels. Most low-head hydropower projects are associated with navigation structures on impounded rivers where 'run-of-the river' hydrology exists. Although there is significant flow through the impoundment with relatively high velocities (compared to a deep flow control/hydropower project), at times of low flow and high oxygen demand, the DO of the river may degrade to unacceptable levels. During these times, oxygen uptake at hydraulic structures becomes very important, because the re-aeration or oxygen uptake at gated-crest or overflow weirs can be equivalent to several miles of open stream re-aeration. Essentially four factors enter into determining gas transfer--turbulent mixing, the air-water surface area, contact time between the air and water, and hydrostatic pressure effects on entrained air bubbles. There are several alternative techniques for improving the release DO from high-head hydropower projects. Many of these techniques can be applied to low-head hydropower, but may be less effective than when used for high-head hydropower. The most promising for low-head hydropower application are: in-reservoir (diffused air or oxygen injection in project forebay, and/or withdrawal of higher quality surface water); in-structure (air aspiration or air/oxygen injection, and/or operational changes to enhance re-aeration); and tailwater (diffused air or oxygen injection in project tailwater, and/or overflow weirs to promote re-aeration. Each of these alternatives has potential applications for improving the DO of releases from low-head hydropower plants. In many situations, combinations of some of the alternatives may prove to be the best technique.

AN - 36413730; 3754 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures within two segments of the Upper Steele Bayou Project in the Yazoo Basin in Mississippi is proposed. Flood problems in the Upper Steele Bayou area are significant. Damages total more than $4.5 million annually, including $1 million in the city of Greenville. In addition, almost 66,000 acres of agricultural lands are subject to annual inundation. Under the proposed plan, approximately 25.3 miles of Main Canal would undergo channel enlargement to a maximum bottom width of 60 feet to convey approximately 70 percent of the existing flows from upstream of Greenville. In addition, two laterals and two in-stream weirs would be improved to enhance urban flood control. The proposed plan would provide essentially 100-year-frequency protection to Greenville and five-year-frequency protection to agricultural areas south of the city. Because of the environmental sensitivity of Leroy Percy State Park, proposed work along the lower 6.3 miles of Black Bayou would be limited to selective clearing and snagging. Upstream from this reach, the bottom would be deepened by two feet throughout the remaining 30.2-mile length. Approximately 30 percent of the existing flows from upstream of Greenville would be carried in Black Bayou. The proposed dredging and clearing would provide a frequency level of protection to agricultural areas of two to three years. As a project feature, numerous flood control structures would be built and 10.2 miles of greenbelt, comprising 800 acres, would be established. Approximately 4,600 acres of frequently flooded agricultural lands would be acquired in fee title and reforested to compensate for wetland and terrestrial habitat losses. The estimated cost of the proposed plan is $29.88 million and the benefit-cost ratio is 1.4. This draft supplement to the final EIS of September 1977 evaluates the effectiveness of greenbelts and other mitigation measures proposed for the unconstructed portion of the Upper Steele Bayou Project; the feasibility of implementing these measures concurrently with project construction; and the likely impact of an array of flood control alternatives. The cost of the greenbelts, including reforestation, would be $600,000. Providing buffers instead of greenbelts would increase the mitigation cost by about $240,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would substantially reduce the risks of costly flooding on both urban and agricultural lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed project, approximately 122 acres of bottomland hardwoods would be cleared on Main Canal, and approximately 226 acres on Black Bayou. In addition, approximately 424 acres of wooded wetlands and 63 acres of farmed wetlands would be lost due to right-of-way impacts. These losses would be in addition to the estimated 2,200 acres of bottomland hardwoods displaced since construction commenced in 1976. Such losses would represent a significant loss of habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife.

AN - 36412350; 3654 AB - PURPOSE: The retention of the U.S. Army Information Systems Command (USAIC) and associated elements at Fort Huachuca in Cochise County, Arizona, is proposed in this final supplement to the final EIS of June 1990. The final EIS had proposed transferring the USAIC to Fort Devens and consolidating the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Fort Devens with the Intelligence School at Fort Huachuca; however, in 1991, Fort Devens was selected as one of the installations to be closed as part of an overall reduction in Army force structure. Under the proposal presented in this final supplement, Fort Huachuca would house the consolidated Intelligence School while retaining the USAIC, which would result in a cumulative increase of 2,250 personnel positions at the fort (2,023 military and 227 civilian). The preferred alternative would provide for the following: a new operations building for the consolidated Directorate of Training and Doctrine; 72 additional rooms to be added to one of the wings of a barracks building currently under construction; a new 28-chair dental clinic; two new facilities to house the Basic Morse Department and the Morse Training Department; additions to the central air conditioning and heating plant; and improvements to utilities, including an upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment plant, to accommodate the anticipated population increase. In addition, this alternative would involve widening Hunt, Arizona, and Hatfield streets to four-lane roadways; improving Cibeque Street; and providing supporting signalization to meet increased traffic demands. The relocation of personnel from Fort Devens would occur in three phases: the Electronic Warfare Department would move in January 1993; the Morse Collection Department in October 1993; and the Maintenance Training Department in April 1994. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Army educational activities associated with intelligence and information would be consolidated, increasing the efficiency of the Army mission in these areas while decreasing expenditures. The population increase in Cochise County would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in an increased demand for on-post services and utilities and would generate additional traffic, noise, and pollutants.

Preparation date: August 19, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEL MARIN KEYS UNIT 5, MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36395777; 3736 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a water-oriented, planned residential community on approximately 1,610 acres of bay lands southeast of Novato in northeastern Marin County, California, is proposed. The proposed project, Bel Marin Keys Unit 5 (BMK5), would constitute the final development phase of the existing Bel Marin Keys community and would more than double the number of residences in the community. The proposed BMK5 site is bounded by the existing BMK community and Novato Creek to the north; San Pablo Bay to the east; and Hamilton Field to the south. The site, diked off from the bay many years ago, is predominantly flat and at an elevation approximately four feet below mean sea level. The BMK5 master plan and rezoning application proposes to construct 1,190 residential units; a 150,000-square-foot neighborhood commercial center; an 18-hole golf course; a 50,000-square-foot social center; a 200-berth marina; a habitat enhancement program encompassing 669 acres; and related roadway, public transit, and infrastructure facilities. The entire development would be situated around a 463-acre expansion of the existing lagoon presently serving the BMK 3 and 4 community. A new lock would be constructed that would connect the expanded lagoon to Novato Creek. The excavated material from the lagoon would be used as fill to support the construction of the residences and other structures. The residences would be constructed on 174 acres, representing roughly 11 percent of the total area of the site. The project sponsor has proposed to create 669 acres of shorebird and migratory waterfowl habitat in the form of wetlands, managed seasonal marsh, and mud flats. The sponsor has also agreed to participate in the financing of the water treatment plant expansion necessary to accommodate the new BMK residents. Construction would commence in 1994, with the first home being available for occupancy in 1996; the entire project would be completed within nine years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Although the proposed project would be inconsistent with some local planning documents, it would be consistent with the countywide plan to encourage the construction of low- and moderate-income housing in the area. The project would also meet many of the long-standing needs of the BMK community by enhancing recreational opportunities, providing a neighborhood commercial center, and providing a long-term dredge material disposal site. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the further urbanization of a natural area and the further loss of natural resources associated with the Bayfront Conservation Zone. Some 1,200 acres of oat hay agricultural land would be lost. This would account for approximately 50 percent of the total oat hay tonnage, 35 percent of the total harvested acres of oat hay, and 35 percent of the total value of oat hay production in Marin County. The filling of approximately 273 acres of diked lands for urban use and the flooding of 463 acres for lagoons would permanently remove 736 acres from potential future marsh restoration and eliminate the habitat values associated with brackish seasonal wetlands. The conversion of diked bay lands to residential uses would result in a regional reduction of seasonally important feeding, resting, and storm refuge areas for migratory waterfowl, raptors, and shorebirds. Dredging, lagoon flushing, human intrusion, and vessel discharges would degrade biological resources within the Novato Creek corridor and the tidal salt marsh within the project boundaries. The traffic levels at selected intersections would increase significantly.

Preparation date: August 17, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US ROUTE 71, I-44 TO ARKANSAS STATE LINE, JASPER, NEWTON, AND MCDONALD COUNTIES, MISSOURI (JOB NO. 7-P-71-427). AN - 36396340; 3718 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a divided, dual-lane, controlled-access highway (US 71) between Interstate 44 (I-44) and the Arkansas state line in Jasper, Newton, and McDonald counties, Missouri, is proposed. The project would begin in southern Jasper County and cross both Newton and McDonald counties before reaching the Arkansas state line. The 41- to 47-mile highway would have a 24-foot, 2-lane pavement in each direction with 10-foot outside shoulders and a 60-foot median. Access to the facility would be provided only by interchanges. Improvements to the existing Route 71 between Joplin and Tipton Ford or Joplin and Neosho would be required and are included in this project. Two primary build alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The connection of segments of the two primary alternatives at two separate locations represents third and fourth alternatives. A No-Build Alternative is also considered. Alternative 1 would begin at I-44, approximately three miles east of Joplin, and proceed south along the existing Route 71 corridor to the Arkansas state line. Alternative 2 would begin at the I-44 /US 71 Alternate (71A) interchange south of the city of Carthage, proceed south along the Route 71A corridor to a point east of Neosho where existing US 60/71A curves west, and continue south on a relocated route to the Arkansas state line. Alternative 3 would connect Alternative 2 to Alternative 1 via Route 60/71A south of the city of Neosho. Alternative 4 would connect Alternative 2 to Alternative 1 via a segment that begins just south of Missouri Route D (Newton County) and extends southwest to a point near Kelly Springs north of the city of Anderson. Alternative 1 is the preferred alternative. The estimated costs of Alternatives 1, 2, 3, and 4 are $215.9 million, $259.6 million, $239.2 million, and $244.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would become part of a north-south, multistate system from Kansas City, Missouri, to Shreveport, Louisiana. Capacity problems affecting the existing facility would be relieved; existing and expected traffic levels would be accommodated; and driving safety would be improved. Regional development and economic competitiveness would improve through the attraction of manufacturers and industries, increased employment opportunities, increased retail sales, increased tax revenues, and better access to regional recreational facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The development of 2,005 acres of rights-of-way under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 328 persons, 96 residential units, and 26 commercial units. Five nonprofit organizations/schools would also be displaced. Other land affected would include 3.3 acres of wetlands, 14,400 linear feet of floodplains, and known cultural resource sites. Tax losses would total $32,300.

Preparation date: August 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WINSTON-SALEM NORTHERN BELTWAY (WESTERN SECTION), 16.7 MILES FROM US 158 NORTHWARD TO US 52, FORSYTH COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36410468; 3725 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the western section of the Northern Beltway, a loop roadway in western Forsyth County, North Carolina, is proposed. The project would extend from Stratford Road (US 158) southwest of Winston-Salem to US 52 in the north, near Rural Hall. The facility would connect with the eastern section of the Northern Beltway at US 52. When completed, the two facilities would serve as a loop around the north side of Winston-Salem. The project is scheduled for construction in four phases, with right-of-way acquisitions beginning in federal fiscal year (FFY) 1995 and construction starting in FFY 1997. A No-Build Alternative and eight build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives consist of two feasible general corridors for construction within the Muddy Creek Basin, with two potential northern end points and two possible crossover segments in the vicinity of US 421. The proposed facility would be a multilane, divided roadway, with full control of access. Design speed would be 70 mph. Except at the southern end point, all access to the proposed facility would be limited to grade-separated interchanges. Projected traffic in the design year (2015) ranges from 25,400 to 48,800 vehicles per day for the westernmost alternative, and 30,300 to 57,000 vehicles per day for the easternmost alternative. Six lanes would be required for the westernmost alternative between US 421 and Robinhood Road. The easternmost alternative would require six lanes from US 421 to Yadkinville Road. The remainder of the project would have four lanes. The estimated costs for project alternatives range from $217.9 million to $247.6 million. The benefit-cost ratios for the project range from 1.474 for the westernmost route to 2.120 for the easternmost route. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in improved transportation flows and reduced congestion on the principal radial arteries throughout the area. Air quality would improve under the build alternatives, compared with the level under the No-Build Alternative, by the year 2015; vehicles would be diverted from congested arterials with traffic signals to a continuous-flow facility without signals. A potential benefit provided by the alignments adjacent to Silas and Muddy creeks would be the purchase of land and the construction of green-way facilities for donation to Forsyth County as a transportation enhancement measure. Suitable areas would range in size from approximately 40 acres to approximately 550 acres. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Residential relocations would range from 266 to 408. Approximately 20 percent of the relocations along the westernmost alignment and 15 percent along the easternmost alignment would be of minority families. Business relocations would range from 5 to 25. Major floodplain and floodway encroachment along Silas and Muddy creeks would result from all alternatives. Encroachments into the 100-year floodplain would range from 78 acres to 177 acres. Temporary water quality impacts would result from increased sediment loading associated with construction. The number of residences with unacceptable noise impacts would range from 55 to 122 without noise abatement barriers and 30 to 55 with economically feasible barriers. From two to four properties that are listed in, or are eligible for being listed in, the National Register of Historic Places would be adversely affected, and there would be adverse archaeological impacts as well. Biotic communities, including existing vegetation, wetland communities, and associated wildlife, would be impacted by all alternatives. The right-of-way requirements for project alternatives would range from 1,149 to 1,273 acres. Forestland affected would range from 481 to 678 acres, and agricultural land, from 196 to 294 acres. Wetlands affected would range from 6 to 12 acres, with the largest individual impact area being less than 5 acres in size.

If the hypolimnion becomes isolated from the surface and develops anoxic conditions, reduction of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide may occur. If the release structure withdraws water from the hypolimnion, these soluble constituents as well as low dissolved oxygen (DO) may cause water quality problems downstream. Localized mixing can be used in many cases to improve the release water quality from projects with these characteristics. The knowledge-based computerized system for localized mixing design, named PUMP, was developed using Turbo PROLOG version 2.0. This language allows incorporation of heuristic rules with computational procedures and mechanical pump data to arrive at a system design. PUMP allows engineers and scientists to quickly evaluate localized mixing alternatives for release water quality improvement. Assumptions inherent with localized mixing systems are included in PUMP along with simple error-checking routines. Because of the logical nature of the PROLOG language, additional pump design data and heuristic knowledge may be easily added when available.

ENDOW was developed to provide guidance for preliminary and project evaluation for environmental design of stream channel modifications. The ENDOW knowledge base contains three modules, each of which corresponds to a type of channel alteration project: streambank protection; flood control channels; and streamside levees. A questionnaire was mailed to 447 individuals on the ENDOW distribution list. The survey was used to (1) determine the use of ENDOW; (2) provide information to those charged with the maintenance and development of ENDOW rule-based model; (3) provide data to users and others on the extent and ways in which ENDOW is being used; and (4) provide information on specific uses, user groups, and future needs. Of the 195 total responses, 50.8% have used ENDOW. About 54% of ENDOW use was spent on proposed projects, 14% on operational projects, and about 32% divided among regulatory projects, training, or testing the software. Seventy-three percent of the users indicated that they have not experienced any problem with the software, while 17% had specific problems, such as not being familiar enough with environmental design to give appropriate responses to the questions. About 56% of the survey respondents agreed that more environmental design features should be added to ENDOW, while the remaining users were neutral or did not respond. Additional suggested features include graphics, hydraulic design, wetlands, and water quality components.

This task is becoming more difficult for projects surrounded by wetlands or open water because dredged material can impair the ecological functions of these habitats. To help alleviate this situation, several US Army Corps of Engineers Districts and members of the dredging industry have proposed that placing dredged material in relatively thin, uniform layers will reduce environmental impacts associated with dredged material placement enough to make placement in certain areas environmentally acceptable. Although thin-layer disposal, potentially can reduce environmental impacts in some habitat types, few studies of the environmental effects of this disposal technique have been conducted. Therefore, a series of studies was conducted to chronicle the use of thin-layer disposal in marsh and sub-tidal estuarine habitats. One study was made of a marsh along Lake Landing Canal, Gull Rock, North Carolina, about 10 yrs after dredged material was placed in the marsh in 5-cm and 10-cm layers. The principal impacts from placing dredged material in marshes are the smothering of existing vegetation and alteration of habitat via changes in soil hydrology. At Gull Rock, thin-layer disposal reduced or eliminated these impacts. Although some smothering of vegetation occurred during disposal operations, this was mainly due to the large volumes of water involved in the spraying operations. Despite these disturbances, revegetation occurred relatively quickly. Placing dredged material in a layer generally 5 cm thick did not lead to a significant change in the vegetation community or use of the marsh by animals. The implications of placing dredged material in a layer generally 10 cm thick are less clear. Although such placement did not lead to creation of upland or high marsh habitat, it may have altered soil drainage, resulting in conditions that favored a different marsh plant community.

AN - 36396762; 3753 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of channel alignments in the Hickahala Creek and Senatobia Creek watershed in Tate County, Mississippi, is proposed. The project area is located approximately 30 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. Senatobia Creek flows north from a point northeast of Como, Mississippi, to its point of convergence with Hickahala Creek, just east of the town of Senatobia. Hickahala Creek originates on the western edge of Marshall County, flows west near Senatobia and then northwest, and enters Arkabutla Lake near Coldwater, Mississippi. The headwaters of the lake presently receive considerable silt and sediment runoff from the creeks despite prior channel work performed in the 1960s. Related problems associated with the watershed include the increased depth and frequency of flooding on agricultural and urban lands, the loss or temporary closure of transportation routes, the loss of bottomland hardwoods habitat as a result of sedimentation and changes in the flooding regime, and the reduction of channel conveyance capacity and lake floodwater storage capacity. The preferred alternative would involve 13.9 miles of channel modification to be implemented by use of a dragline. Approximately 9.1 miles of Hickahala Creek would be modified, as would 4.8 miles of Senatobia Creek. The finished channel sections on both creeks would have a 70-foot bottom width with varying side slopes, excavated material bank heights, crown widths, and setback from the channel top bank. The width of the project right-of-way would range from 253 to 334 feet. At project completion, there would be 31 low-drop grade control structures and 237 riser pipe grade control structures; 267,400 linear feet of bank stabilization; and $732,000 in land treatment measures such as reforestation, revegetation, and terracing undertaken in the watershed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The channel restoration would improve flood protection and erosion control significantly in the project area. Additional benefits would include the revegetation of the construction area and spoil banks with plant species of greater economic and wildlife value than that of existing vegetation, the establishment of more stable stream bottom substrata beneficial to fishery resources, and the reduction of silt and sediment being deposited in forested areas of Arkabutla Lake. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in the clearing of 287 acres of bottomland hardwoods habitat and 143 acres of agricultural land within the project right-of-way; in addition, approximately 115 acres of aquatic habitat would be disturbed during construction. The loss of forested habitat would adversely affect resident wildlife species.

AN - 36411432; 3720 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of 4.4 miles of US 2 in Flathead County, Montana, is proposed. The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) proposes to widen the existing route from Columbia Heights, a suburb of Columbia Falls, to Hungry Horse. The proposed action would include the replacement of a bridge over the South Fork of the Flathead River, which is necessary because the existing facility is worn out and warrants traffic safety and capacity improvements. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The MDT preferred alternative would involve a four-lane design to replace the 24-foot-wide, two-lane facility; the design would include a continuous-median/left-turn lane from the project's beginning to Berne Road, where a new river access and historic exhibit area are proposed. An undivided four-lane road is proposed for the Berne Road-to-Hungry Horse section of the corridor. As mitigation for impacts to Berne Memorial Park, MDT would develop the new access on the Flathead River and enhance recreational opportunities in the region. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All build alternatives would provide operational and safety improvements over the existing facility, including a reduction in accident rates. The preferred alternative would provide for (1) a wider shoulder lane, which would improve bicycle facilities in the corridor; (2) sidewalks, which would facilitate pedestrian movement; and (3) the control of future land uses and protection of visual resources in Badrock Canyon through the acquisition of private lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All build alternatives would impact the Flathead River and riparian areas in Badrock Canyon by clearing right-of-way and placing fill in the river. Bald eagles could be affected by the removal of vegetation that is occasionally used for perching and roosting sites along the river. Some farmland would be converted for right-of-way. Some features of Berne Memorial Park and the use of its facilities would be affected by any of the build alternatives. The right-of-way acquisition would displace several households and businesses along the corridor, and some portions of yards and parking areas would be lost. Additional development along the corridor could be stimulated by highway reconstruction and improved access. Visual resources in Badrock Canyon would be adversely affected by the removal of trees and excavation of rock cliffs.

AN - 36408012; 3735 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of Arts Park LA within a 60-acre area of Lake Balboa Park (also known as Bull Creek Park), located in the Sepulveda Flood Control Basin in the San Fernando Valley of the city of Los Angeles, California, is proposed. The construction and management of the park would be undertaken by the Cultural Foundation, a nonprofit corporation. The Cultural Foundation has proposed to construct a facility which would include a Performance Glen and Grove with an outdoor amphitheater, a Performing Arts Center, an Arts Park Center, a Children's Center for the Arts, and a Natural History Museum. Alternatives considered in detail include low-density and medium-density development in the Sepulveda Basin; consideration of design alternatives on-site; placement of the Performing Arts Center at another location within the Sepulveda Basin; and construction of the facility outside the Sepulveda Basin, including at the Hansen Dam Flood Control Facility. In addition, the No Action Alternative was considered. This EIS is a programmatic document which describes the overall impacts of the proposed action, since detailed engineering and design have not been accomplished. Subsequent environmental documents will be prepared to analyze the exact impacts of the various elements of the project prior to approval of any construction. The proposed action would involve construction of an approximately 200,000-square-foot facility on a 60-acre parcel. The Performance Glen and Grove would be located within an approximately seven-acre area and would include a 2,500-person amphitheater adjacent to the Performance Glen with an approximately 1,500-square-foot permanent stage containing connections for temporary lights and sound equipment. The 19,000-square-foot Natural History Museum would include exhibit space, classrooms, and a 200-seat auditorium. The Arts Park Center would be a 25,000-square-foot building housing a gallery, a small auditorium, offices, and other general-use spaces. The 100,000-square-foot Arts Pavilion would include two theater rooms, an 1,800-seat booking house, and a 500-seat multiuse space. The 21,000-square-foot Children's Center for the Arts would contain exhibit and exhibit support areas, classrooms and studios, a resource center, and a 150-seat auditorium. A 21,000-square-foot Media Film Center would be devoted to the exploration of media as an art form and as an educational tool. Three 200-car parking lots on approximately three acres would be constructed. The proposed action would provide for phased construction over a period of about ten years, beginning with the development of the amphitheater and overall roadway infrastructure, and then progressing to the other proposed facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would serve as a major cultural center in the San Fernando Valley, which presently has no major cultural facilities. While the Valley has numerous quality performing arts groups, there is no venue large enough or suitably designed to showcase their performances. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: There is concern that the intensification of land use on the site would conflict with the remainder of Lake Balboa Park. Much of the proposed project would be constructed within the potential inundation zone for the Sepulveda Basin. Use of public land for development of theater facilities and related uses could result in unfair competition with similar businesses in the local area. On-site parking would not be adequate for all events. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460 et seq.).

Preparation date: July 24, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROANOKE RIVER PARKWAY, BEDFORD, FRANKLIN, AND ROANOKE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. AN - 36409090; 3708 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an extension of the Blue Ridge Parkway along the Roanoke River, and of a regional visitor center to orient travelers using the parkway, in the Roanoke, Virginia, region is proposed. The highway segment would consist of a 1.5-mile spur road from the Blue Ridge Parkway to the proposed Virginia's Explore Park, an education-oriented state park. Less than 1 percent of the park road corridor would cross the 100-year floodplain of a small unnamed tributary of the Roanoke River. To allow for the protection of natural and cultural resources and scenic views along the park road, as well as the potential development of recreation facilities, a park road protection area would be established that would create a setting similar to that along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The area would encompass approximately 200 acres, including 33 acres of private land. Acquisition costs would be about $350,000. Park road construction costs would be approximately $9.5 million, and annual operation costs about $69,000. Three other action alternatives for building a proposed Roanoke River Parkway, each involving longer segments of roadway, are also considered in this final EIS, along with the No Action Alternative. In addition, five alternative sites for a visitor center are considered. The proposed site for the visitor center is on the north side of the Roanoke River. Construction of the visitor center would cost $7.5 million; annual operating costs would be about $23,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Needed access to Virginia's Explore Park would be provided by the spur road, and information concerning the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding region would be available at the visitor center. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementing the proposed action would affect approximately 0.15 acres of wetlands. Regionally important habitat would be preserved under federal ownership, but animal losses would be proportional to the habitat displaced by construction. Land acquisition would affect one private residence and one commercial site. Traffic on the spur road and the Blue Ridge Parkway would approach unstable flow conditions during peak hours, with all of the traffic on the spur road resulting from visits to Virginia's Explore Park.

Preparation date: July 23, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 421 FROM JUST WEST OF THE SOUTH FORK NEW RIVER TO SR 1361, WATAUGA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36407063; 3724 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to a ten-mile section of US 421 in Watauga County, North Carolina, are proposed. The roadway section extends from just west of the South Fork New River, east of the town of Boone, to SR 1361, east of the town of Deep Gap. The existing two-lane roadway is characterized by steep grades, sharp curves, and narrow pavement. US 421 is the main highway link between the Piedmont and northwest North Carolina, linking the towns of Winston-Salem, Yadkinville, Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, and Boone. A four-lane US 421 would safely and effectively connect the northwest part of the state with Interstate 77, Interstate 40, and US 52. In addition to the Transportation Systems Management Alternative, the Mass Transit Alternative, the Improve Existing Corridor Alternative, and the No Build Alternative, three build alternatives are under consideration; each would rely mainly on new roadway locations within corridors roughly parallel to the existing US 421. Alternatives A and C generally follow a more northerly route in relation to the existing US 421, while Alternative B is located just to the south of US 421 for roughly half of its proposed length. Under each alternative, the existing US 421 would continue to function as a local collector. All three alternatives would cross the Blue Ridge Parkway at the same point near Deep Gap. Seven crossing alternatives are under consideration; the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would involve the removal of the existing stone facade arch bridge and the construction of two similar bridges. Four lanes of US 421 would pass under the parkway, and access between the two roadways would be provided. Access control would be partial, consisting of at-grade intersections with designated local roads and permit access from private driveways. The estimated total costs of the build alternatives range from $58.9 million to $59.2 million; the estimated cost of the preferred parkway crossing is $3.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would remove through traffic from an operationally deficient roadway and thereby improve traffic safety conditions and intrastate east-west travel. The proposed improvements were included in the state's 1978-84 Highway Improvement Program. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Right-of-way requirements would displace up to 57 residents, 14 businesses, 2 nonprofit organizations, 98.2 acres of prime farmland, 184.1 acres of pasture or fields, 142.3 acres of forest, and 5 acres of wetlands. In addition, the build alternatives would disturb up to 40 graves, 3 archaeological sites, and 1 historic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Increases in noise levels would affect up to 51 sites.

AN - 36413449; 3658 AB - PURPOSE: The realignment of several Army research functions to the newly established Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) in Harford County, Maryland, is proposed. The establishment of ARL was recommended by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission as part of the Army's overall reduction in force structure and consolidation of related operations. The commission proposed that three major operations be relocated to the ARL at APG: the U.S. Army Research Institute Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) function at Alexandria, Virginia; the 6.1 (Basic Research) and 6.2 (Exploratory Development) materials elements of the Belvoir Research, Development, and Engineering Center (BRDEC) at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; and the U.S. Army Materials Technology Laboratory (MTL) at Watertown, Massachusetts. Two other operations would also be relocated (although this was not specifically recommended by the commission): the nuclear survivability and assessment functions of the Harry Diamond Laboratories (HDL) at Adelphi, Maryland; and the Army Institute for Research in Management Information, Communications, and Computer Sciences (AIRMICS) at Atlanta, Georgia. These five operations would be located near the three existing Army laboratories that currently operate at APG and that would also become part of the new ARL: the Ballistics Research Laboratory (BRL); the Human Engineering Laboratory (HEL); and the vulnerability assessment function of the Chemical Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CRDEC). Some operations would merge in order to increase efficiency: MANPRINT would merge with HEL to become the Human Research and Engineering Directorate, and BRDEC would merge with MTL to form the Materials Directorate. The transfer and consolidation of research functions would result in an increase of approximately 350 positions at APG, most coming from MTL in Watertown, Massachusetts. Construction of special laboratory facilities, administrative offices, hazardous materials and waste storage facilities, an industrial wastewater treatment facility, and parking and security facilities would be required. Four alternative sites at APG are under consideration; the preferred site, known as the 4600 Block, consists of approximately 80 acres between Deer Creek Loop along the north and Maryland Boulevard along the south. Construction would begin in May 1993 and be completed by December 1995. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By consolidating related operations, the proposed realignment would decrease budgetary expenditures and improve the overall efficiency of Army research efforts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the new facilities at any one of the four alternative sites would have minor impacts on peak-hour traffic levels, land use, air quality, geology and soils, and community facilities. Construction at the 4600 Block would require the removal of existing underground fuel oil storage tanks. Furthermore, operations at this site would be located several miles from the existing BRL and HEL facilities at APG.

Preparation date: July 22, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DESIGNATION OF AN OCEAN DREDGED-MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE IN MASSACHUSETTS BAY (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1989). AN - 36409213; 3752 AB - PURPOSE: The redesignation of boundaries for the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site (formerly the Foul Area Disposal Site), used for dredged-material disposal in Massachusetts, is proposed. The site is located in Massachusetts Bay in approximately 90 meters of water, and is two nautical miles in diameter. The center of the site is at 42 degrees, 25 minutes, 1 second west longitude and 70 degrees, 35 minutes north latitude, slightly southwest of the existing disposal site and approximately 22 nautical miles east of Boston. The existing disposal site is currently operating as an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved interim dredged-material disposal site. The Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has disposed or permitted disposal of 2.8 million cubic yards of dredged material at the site over the past 12 years. The proposed relocation of the site would ensure that the eastern section of the existing site (including the toe of the Stellwagen Bank) would remain pristine and that previously disposed dredged material would eventually be covered with newer deposits. All dredged material proposed for disposal at the new site would be subjected to strict chemical and biological testing. Sediments with organisms that exhibit significant mortality or the potential to bioaccumulate contaminants would not be suitable for disposal at the site. The final site designation would not constitute approval for actual disposal of dredged material; it would only serve to identify an ocean disposal alternative for individual dredging project reviews. All dredged material proposed for ocean disposal would continue to be evaluated on a project-by-project basis by the COE. This final EIS contains corrections and additions to the draft EIS and its draft supplement, as well as EPA responses to public comments on the proposal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Site designation would provide an environmentally acceptable means for disposal of material dredged from the region, which includes areas extending from Gloucester to Plymouth, Massachusetts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The use of the designated site would result in periodic, temporary increases in turbidity, as well as short-term changes in the grain size of surface sediments, localized burial of benthic organisms, and temporary mounding of substrate.

Preparation date: July 17, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL ON PERRY CREEK, SIOUX CITY, IOWA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT I TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1991). AN - 36404680; 3751 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment of a flood control project plan for Perry Creek in Sioux City, Iowa, is proposed. The major elements of this plan were described in a final EIS of August 1981. Since authorization, however, it has been determined that an existing conduit under Wesley Way has been deteriorating rapidly because of the use of deicing salts and the poor surface drainage of the roadbed on top of the conduit. It was also determined that the authorized parallel conduit under Water Street did not account for uneven flows or waters that backed up from curves in the conduit system. Furthermore, the Iowa state historic preservation officer recommended a reevaluation of impacts to architectural and historical archaeological resources. This supplement to the final EIS addresses these concerns. The preferred alternative would involve the extension of the channelization farther downstream and the construction of a larger conduit along an alignment very close to the existing conduit alignment. Specific elements of the proposal would include (1) extending the 16,000-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) channel approximately 2,000 feet downstream from the existing conduit entrance to Fifth Street; (2) decreasing the channel's rock lining from 13 feet to only 8 feet above the channel bottom; (3) constructing approximately 1,500 feet of new underground 16,000-cfs conduit instead of a dual conduit system from Fifth Street to Interstate 29 (I-29); (4) lowering the slab floor in the existing conduit under I-29; (5) constructing a stilling basin at the existing conduit outlet; (6) constructing two new bridges in the area where the channel would be extended 2,000 feet downstream; (7) constructing a new railroad bridge over the existing conduit near I-29; (8) constructing a new flood warning system; and (9) extending the biking and jogging trail along the extended channel. The preferred alternative would reduce the estimated costs of the authorized plan from $65 million to $54 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would reduce the flood threat for approximately 1,440 homes and 390 businesses, and reduce expected annual flood damages from $5.824 million to $642,000. Human health and safety as well as real property would be protected against flooding. Fish and wildlife mitigation measures would include the conversion of 2,000 feet of existing conduit to an open-stream habitat and the planting of trees and shrubs on 13 acres of project lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would require the relocation of 70 homes and 27 commercial structures, as well as the potential destruction, dismantling, or relocation of 8 buildings with historical architectural significance. Several structures are potential candidates for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and the project area encompasses the original settlement area of Sioux City. In addition, the proposal would destroy 22 acres of low-quality riparian woodland and degrade 2 miles of low-quality stream habitat.

Preparation date: July 16, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SHORE PROTECTION PROJECT, PALM BEACH COUNTY FROM LAKE WORTH INLET TO SOUTH LAKE WORTH INLET, FLORIDA. AN - 36404643; 3750 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a protective beach along a 1.5-mile reach of shore in the town of Palm Beach, Florida, is proposed. The project area extends from Barton Avenue to a point approximately 375 feet south of Banyan Road. This section is one of 12 sections of beach in Palm Beach County proposed for restoration work in a final EIS of April 1987. This addendum to the final EIS revises the plan for the Mid-Town section of the federal project (Reach 5B) based on current conditions, additional geotechnical investigations, and federal laws and policies. The major revisions involve the reduction of the proposed project area from 3.0 miles to 1.5 miles and the use of a borrow area in the southern ebb tidal shoal of Lake Worth Inlet instead of a borrow area directly offshore. Dredging depths in the borrow area would be limited to ten feet below the existing bottom in order to avoid the creation of deep borrow holes or trenches. The design fill would consist of approximately one million cubic yards (cy) of dredged material, including six years of advanced nourishment material (380,000 cy); the original plan included eight years of advanced nourishment material (753,000 cy). The estimated annual cost of the revised plan is $1.35 million and the benefit-cost ratio is 2.22; the estimated cost of the original plan was $1.04 million and the benefit-cost ratio was 1.68. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect against erosion damage and offset erosion effects; enhance the appearance of the coastal zone and its suitability for beach recreation; and restore some of the zone's ability to provide protection against storms. Beach restoration would increase annual visitor use and reduce damages to existing structures. Beach habitat would be created for nesting sea turtles and for invertebrate and shorebird species. Though use of the more distant inlet shoals as a borrow area would add to project costs, the sands from that area correspond closely with existing beach sand and would not erode as rapidly as sand dredged from the offshore areas originally selected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Reef sites located near the borrow area could be damaged by dredging equipment, but this damage could be avoided if the borrow area were carefully delineated.

Preparation date: July 14, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 23/I-26 CORRIDOR STUDY, FROM NC 197 15 MILES TO THE NORTH CAROLINA-TENNESSEE STATE LINE, BUNCOMBE AND MADISON COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36411462; 3723 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new four-lane, north-south freeway in Buncombe and Madison counties in western North Carolina is proposed. The proposed roadway, to be known as I-26, would extend for approximately 15 miles from the existing interchange at US 23 and North Carolina (NC) 197 to the North Carolina-Tennessee state line at Sams Gap. US 23 is currently the major north-south arterial in the area, and the proposed project would upgrade the roadway to interstate standards. Truck traffic represents a large percentage of the daily trips on US 23, which provides an important connection between I-40 in Asheville, North Carolina, and I-81 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The steep grades and difficult horizontal alignment of US 23 contribute to hazardous driving conditions and frequent accidents. The preferred alternative, designated the Eastern Alternative, would follow the existing US 23 alignment past the four-lane section to north of Jarvis Road and south of Sprinkle Creek Road. The proposed route would then turn slightly west and follow south of Sprinkle Creek Road, turning back north to tie into Bear Creek Road just west of the existing US 23. From Little Creek, the proposed route would parallel the existing US 23 to the west, and continue north to Sams Gap. Interchanges would be built at four locations: Adkins Branch Road, NC 213, US 19, and Laurel Creek Road. Two other build alternatives are under consideration: the Western Alternative would curve to the northwest near the eastern city limits of Mars Hill, and then follow a northwesterly route until it rejoined the Eastern Alternative alignment just south of Laurel Creek; the Combined Alternative would follow the alignment of the Eastern Alternative throughout most of its 17-mile length, but would also follow the Western alignment for several miles. The total construction and right-of-way costs of the preferred alternative would be $222.6 million, and the benefit-cost ratio would be 1.33. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would establish a major new north-south route through the region; provide a safer, interstate-quality road north from Asheville; and complete the interstate highway corridor link between Charleston, South Carolina, and Cincinnati, Ohio. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would displace 40 residences, 8 commercial establishments, 2 farms, 1 cemetery, and 3.8 acres of wetlands. In addition, this alternative would involve 11 hydrologic crossings, which would require 6 box culverts and 4 bridge structures. Approximately 30 residences would experience an increase in noise levels from traffic. The Buckner-Ponder ""Rock House'' and Farm, potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, could be affected by the proposal.

AN - 36387761; 3749 AB - PURPOSE: The widening of the West Palm Beach Canal (C-51), a component of the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Flood Control Project, is proposed. The C&SF project encompasses all or parts of 16 counties and more than 18,000 square miles of the central and southern portions of the state. The C-51 basin is located in Palm Beach County and extends from the edge of Water Conservation Area 1 (WCA-1) on the west to Lake Worth on the east near the southern limits of the city of West Palm Beach. The drainage area of the basin is approximately 164 square miles. Historically, the basin was an extensive wetland area covered by sawgrass, marshes, cypress forests, and wet prairies typical of the northern Everglades. Drainage, fire, exotic plant invasion, agricultural use, and development have destroyed all but a few remnants of the natural areas. The following five alternative plans have been considered for widening the canal: the No Action Alternative and Structural Plans A, B, C, and D. Structural Plan A, the tentatively selected plan, would include a flow-control spillway at the approximate midpoint of C-51, a 3,840-cubic-foot-per-second pumping station at the western end to pump C-51 water into an 18,360-acre-foot- capacity water detention area, and gated culverts that could be opened to allow flow from WCA-1 through a levee (L-40) to C-51. The C-51 canal would be progressively widened from 30 to 70 feet (east to west) and progressively deepened from 1.6 feet above mean sea level (msl) to 6.0 feet below msl along the western third of its length. The canal banks would be built up to berms using dredged materials as the berm source, and a levee (L-85) would be constructed with excess dredged material. 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 structural backfill at the spillway site. The two canal plugs would be removed when the spillway work was completed; subsequently, the bypass canal would be filled. The water detention area would store excess floodwaters from the ten-year storm event until such time as they could be safely released into the canal and discharged into Lake Worth. If larger storm events were encountered, excess water from the detention area could be spilled into WCA-1. On cessation of the storm event and storage, excess water would be returned to C-51. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $84.57 million. Depending on the amortization rate, the benefit-cost ratio of the project is estimated at 2.1 or 1.04. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damage to urban and agricultural land within the study area would be reduced significantly. Flood reduction would have economic, public health, and quality-of-life benefits. The construction of a water detention area would restore 1,500 acres of formerly drained wetlands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee construction would temporarily eliminate 17 acres of wetlands. Events associated with hurricanes having a 27-year frequency would result in the overtopping of the detention area and the spilling of water into the WCA-1 perimeter canal. The 1,500 acres dedicated to the detention area would be removed from potential residential development. Water quality would be decreased due to increased urban runoff.

AN - 36413549; 3734 AB - PURPOSE: Relocation or reconstruction of a portion of State Trunk Highway (STH) 131 and a smaller segment of STH 33 in Vernon County, Wisconsin, is proposed. Both routes are important links in the state highway network. STH 131 is one of the few north-south routes serving the region, extending from Tomah in the northern part of the state to the Wisconsin River in the southern part. STH 33 extends across the width of Wisconsin from Port Washington and Lake Michigan in the eastern part of the state to LaCrosse and the Mississippi River in the western part. The two highways meet near the town of Ontario. The highways provide the basic links to the Ontario area and to the Wildcat Mountain State Park; STH 33 currently runs directly through the park. Under the proposed plan, 5.9 miles of STH 131 would be relocated and/or reconstructed between Rockton and Ontario, as would 2.5 miles of STH 33 southeast of Ontario. The build alternatives would provide two 12-foot lanes with six-foot shoulders and would generally have grades and curves designed to current arterial highway standards. Six structurally deficient bridges and one temporary bridge would be replaced. Because portions of STH 131 lie within the floodplain of the Kickapoo River and segments of the highway are frequently closed as a result of flooding, the three build alternatives under serious consideration (Alternatives 2F, 3B, and 4) propose reconstructing STH 131 at an elevation above the river's 100-year-flood level. Alternative 2F would reconstruct STH 131 generally along its present route; under the other two alternatives, the highway would follow a more easterly route while bypassing all or most of the state park. Alternative 2F would relocate STH 33 so as to carry through traffic south of most of the park. Alternative 4 would relocate both highways entirely outside the park. All three alternatives would provide for the intersection of the two highways near the park's southwestern boundary. Estimated project costs range from $7.7 million to $14.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed plan would resolve bridge and roadway safety problems, improve capacity and structural deficiencies, and provide a vital north-south commercial link in the Ontario area. Access to recreational areas, local communities, and businesses would be improved. Reductions would be expected in travel time and costs, accidents, flood damage delays and repairs, and highway maintenance costs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the loss of 3.8 to 7 acres of wetlands, 24 to 161 acres of woodlands, and 89 to 205 acres of farmland. The most serious impact would occur in the Bridge 8 Cliffs and Woods Natural Area, where Alternatives 3B and 4 would bisect one of the largest and highest-quality blocks of contiguous woods remaining in the Kickapoo Valley. Alternatives 2F and 3B would remove 13 and 88 acres, respectively, from the Wildcat Mountain State Park.

Currently, no accepted methods are recognized for detecting carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic effects on aquatic organisms. Two genotoxicity bioassay methods currently being developed show promise for use in dredged material evaluation. The modified Ames/high-performance thin-layer chromatography (Ames/HPTLC) assay is a possible method for identifying some of the mutagenic organic contaminants in dredged material. The single-cell gel (SCG) assay directly evaluates DNA damage in individual cells caused by genotoxic agents. The modified Ames/HPTLC assay combines biological and chemical procedures in a low-cost screening method for identifying certain classes of mutagenic organic contaminants. The Ames assay has proven extremely useful in evaluating the mutagenicity of pure compounds. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is one of the most useful and easily understood forms of chromatography. In combining the Ames assay and HPTLC, the benefits of both biological and chemical tests may be realized. The SCG assay detects DNA damage to selected cells exposed to genotoxic agents (either chemical or physical). Eukaryotic cells are placed in the middle layer of a three-layered gel on a frosted microscope slide. Cells from control and treated or exposed organisms are electrophoresed, and the slides are stained to highlight the nucleic acids. Cells that have DNA damage display increased migration of the DNA from the nucleus. The Ames/HPTLC assay appears to offer several advantages as a screening procedure for environmental contaminants. The advantages of using the SCG assay are sensitivity for detecting DNA damage, the use of small numbers of cells, and the fact that almost any eukaryotic-cell population is responsive to analysis. Both methods require further development before they can be used routinely for regulatory sediment evaluation.

The objective is to replace the physical and biological functions and human-use values of wetlands that are lost due to development. The concept is most amenable for the compensation of relatively small wetlands losses. The legal basis for the mitigation of wetland losses is presented, and various types of banks-industrial, highway-related, port-related, federal project, and commercial banks, and wetlands mitigation trusts-are described. Since 1988, the number of banks in the US has more than tripled. The advantages and disadvantages of the system are considered, and an overview is provided of the Wetlands Mitigation Banking Demonstration Study, which will evaluate the concept to assess its potential for achieving established national wetlands goals.

AN - 36412384; 3691 AB - PURPOSE: Conveyance of approximately 105 acres of upland and submerged lands administered by the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) at South Tongue Point near Astoria, Oregon, to the Oregon Division of State Lands (Division) in exchange for state-owned islands within the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge administrative boundary is proposed. The General Services Administration would convey the South Tongue Point land to the Division, receive the islands from the Division, and in turn convey the islands to the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The Division is proposing to develop a multitenant marine industrial park on the property conveyed to it. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative A), the land exchange would proceed as described above. The existing Corps Astoria Field Station would remain on South Tongue Point. Development of the marine industrial park would proceed in two phases: (1) development of site infrastructure and construction of marine industrial facilities beginning in 1993, with the Navy becoming the first tenant in late 1993, berthing two ""minehunter'' coastal craft; and (2) maintenance dredging of the navigation channel to maintain existing water depths of 18 feet mean lower low water. Six development areas are proposed for the site, including the Corps Astoria Field Station; these areas total about 65 acres, and include natural vegetation areas to be retained and buffer areas. The site would be partially cleared, grubbed, and contoured above the 100-year floodplain elevation to accommodate permanent structures or outdoor storage. Site infrastructure construction would include a new intersection at US 30, with turn lanes and a new access road to the central part of the site; an on-site local service road; a 12-inch-diameter water main extending from the Astoria municipal system; sanitary sewer service; electric, telephone, cable, and natural gas utility distribution lines; street lighting at the new US 30 intersection, the new access road, and the service road; and wetland fill for the access and service roads, and additional fill to create a uniform upland boundary. The Navy facility site would include a pile-supported berthing pier and associated facilities. Barge construction and berthing facilities would be among the water-dependent use facilities developed in the marine industrial park. Manufacturing, storage, distribution, and service facilities would be among the nonwater-dependent use facilities planned for the northwest portion of the park, which would be served by a railroad spur line. The area north of the Corps facility is proposed for the development of a satellite campus for Clatsop Community College. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed conveyance of the state-owned islands would provide the FWS with the necessary control and management flexibility to maximize protection for migratory fish and wildlife, and would enhance wildlife habitats within the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge. The development of the marine industrial park would create real property assets and associated income for the Common School Fund of the state of Oregon, and encourage new industrial employment within the South Tongue Point area, in accordance with state and local plans to initiate economic development projects in Clatsop County. Beneficial impacts to the groundwater quality of the South Tongue Point area would result from the discontinuance of the Corps Astoria Field Station septic field and the connection of the facility to the Astoria municipal sewer system. Development of a domestic water supply, utilities, and transportation infrastructure is also proposed for the site area. Piers at the site would create a beneficial environment for fish. Employment increases would range from about 350 jobs during construction in the first year to a constant of 610 jobs by the project lease-out. A total permanent population increase of approximately 1,300 persons would be expected by the project lease-out. State income tax revenues would be approximately $400,000 per year at the time of the project lease-out; Clatsop County property tax revenues would be about $1.1 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities at the marine industrial park site would result in temporary increases in suspended sediments, disturbance to aquatic species, and intermittent noise over a period of seven years. Upland vegetation losses would total 62.7 acres, and wetland losses would total 0.57 acres. Bald eagle forage areas would be disturbed on approximately 63 acres of the industrial park area, and on an undetermined amount of land on North Tongue Point should that area undergo increased residential development as a result of increased employment in the region. During operation of the site, adverse impacts to water quality could occur as a result of storm runoff, maintenance dredging, and tenants' accidental spills.

Preparation date: June 26, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORFOLK AND WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY, GROUND COAL STORAGE FACILITY, ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36407981; 3731 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a coal storage facility in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, is proposed. The proposed facility would be built and operated by the Norfolk and Western Railway Company (N&W), a major rail carrier that currently transports coal to Hampton Roads from Virginia and West Virginia's coal mining areas. The proposed facility would provide storage for coal destined for overseas markets. At present, export coal is held in rail cars awaiting vessel arrival at Lamberts Point and is then directly dumped into a collier. The proposed facility would reduce rail car turnaround time, allowing N&W to move more coal in fewer cars. The stored coal would be reclaimed by means of a bucket-wheel stacker/reclaimer and conveyed to load-out silos, from which it would then be transferred to unit trains for shipment. The facility would initially handle approximately 8 million gross tons (MGT) of coal annually; however, with upgrading it would eventually handle up to 40 MGT of coal annually and have a storage area of 6.8 million square feet, a capacity of 4 million tons, and a working capacity of 2.6 million tons. To attain these capacities, two concentric rail loops would be constructed so that two 220-car trains could be unloaded simultaneously while both trains remained clear of the main line. Additional construction would include a third contiguous loop to allow the loading of empty cars for movement to the Lamberts Point terminal. The project would include two tandem rotary dumpers and indexer systems; rail-mounted stackers/reclaimers; a system of conveyors to interconnect the dumpers, silos, stackers/reclaimers, and load-out silos; a storage pad 6,000 feet by 1,157 feet in size; and various utilities, access roads, and support facilities. The preferred alternative site consists of approximately 1,609 acres located on the southeast side of US 460, roughly 1.23 miles southeast of the town of Windsor. The northeast boundary of this site is the existing N&W railroad line. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed storage facility would enhance the marketing of coal and its movement into export channels. An enhanced competitive position for U.S. coal producers would enable the United States to increase its share of the international coal market. Coal producers would be able to achieve more uniform production because they would be able to stockpile their coal. This, along with the recent dredging of Hampton Roads channel to 50 feet, would allow U.S. coal to be delivered more economically. The applicant estimates that the proposed facility would yield an additional 2 million tons of coal for export by 1995. The proposed project would require approximately 250 construction workers throughout a two-year period; ultimately 60 persons would be employed at the site once it became fully operational. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 125 acres of wetlands, 182 acres of mixed hardwood and pine forest habitat, and 311 acres of prime agricultural lands would be lost as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed facility. Twelve persons who live within the project boundaries would be displaced. Coal dust produced from daily operations, storm water runoff, and dust suppression sprays flowing through the coal storage piles would degrade air and water quality. Clearing of vegetation would affect surface topography and wildlife habitat.

AN - 36408509; 3624 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements to a 10.9-mile segment of US 421 from east of State Route 2433 (SR 2433) in Wilkes County, North Carolina, to west of Interstate 77 in Yadkin County are proposed. US 421 is an important link in the North Carolina highway network and is included in the 1992-98 Transportation Improvement Program; it is also classified as a principal arterial route and is included in the Federal Aid Primary System. The entire highway extends from the Tennessee state line to Forsyth County, North Carolina; all segments within the corridor are scheduled to be upgraded to a multilane facility. The proposed action would involve replacing the existing two-lane roadway with a four-lane divided highway with either fully controlled or partially controlled access. In addition to the No-Build Alternative and a Transportation Improvement Plan, four build alternatives are under consideration. Two alternatives would follow the existing alignment of US 421; one would provide full control of access, while the other would provide partial control. The other two alternatives would both provide full control of access; one would lie to the north of the existing alignment, while the other would lie to the south. Three interchanges would be developed along the proposed highway: (1) in the area of SR 2325 near the western end of the project; (2) in the area of SR 2309 and /or SR 2400 near the center of the project; and (3) at SR 1112 near the eastern end of the project. The estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $34.2 million to $64.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed upgrading of US 421 would promote economic development and tourism within the project area, relieve traffic congestion, and provide a safer transportation corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction along the existing alignment would displace 20 families and 12 businesses. The other two alternatives would each displace four businesses, but the northern alternative would displace 19 families, while the southern alternative would displace nine families. The project would result in impacts to approximately 66 to 165 acres of prime farmland, depending on the alternative selected. Stream crossings would occur at 9 to 14 locations, and floodplain encroachments would range from approximately 5.8 to 31.9 acres. From 363 to 508 acres of woodland and undeveloped land would be required for the project, with a subsequent loss of vegetation and wildlife habitat. From 8.5 to 22.6 acres of nontidal wetlands would be affected. From 16 to 21 noise receptors would experience a substantial increase in noise levels. Three historic structures might be affected by proximity to the project.

Preparation date: June 19, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CHIP MILL TERMINALS ON THE TENNESSEE RIVER, ALABAMA AND TENNESSEE. AN - 36407724; 3638 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of one or more terminals on the Tennessee River for barge shipment of hardwood chips is proposed. The chips would be transported from mills located on or near the Tennessee River to pulp and paper plants for the manufacturing of coated paper and other products. The proposed facilities would be located between Bridgeport, Alabama (river mile 412.5), and New Hope, Tennessee (river mile 424), along the upper portion of the Guntersville Reservoir. During 1990-91 the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) received three applications for a barge terminal within the project area. The Parker Towing Company proposes to build barge mooring facilities and a covered overhead conveyor for the loading of wood chips in New Hope within the Nickajack Port, which Parker leases and operates. The proposed facility would be located at river mile 424. In addition, Parker would build a chip mill in an industrial park within the Nickajack Port on land formerly owned by the TVA. The other two applicants would construct chip mills on nearby private lands not regulated by the TVA. Donaghae Pulp Company has proposed to build a barge terminal on 2.4 acres of TVA land, just southeast of Bridgeport. Boise Cascade Corporation has proposed to build a terminal at river mile 418.4 on 1.24 acres of TVA land within the city of New Hope. Three alternatives are under consideration. Under Alternative 1, the No Action Alternative, all three applications would be denied. Under Alternative 2, one or more of the requests would be approved if the applicants implemented certain on-site environmental protection measures such as mill and truck noise controls, runoff and dust controls, and archaeological resource protection. Under Alternative 3, one or more of the requests would be approved if the applicants agreed to certain conditions designed to limit the environmental impacts of timber harvesting. These conditions could include enhancing the existing forest management programs or adopting specific protective measures such as wetlands and archaeological site protection, and visual impact considerations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed barge terminals and associated chip mills would have a beneficial effect on the local economy. One chip mill would increase employment by at least 350 jobs and income by $13 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the three new chip mills would bring about changes in current timber-harvesting practices within a 42-county area. Clear-cutting would increase from 44 percent of harvested timber to as much as 69 percent, while selective harvesting would decrease from 56 percent of all harvests to 31 percent. Some 114,000 acres of the forest per year could be clear-cut, compared with 55,000 acres per year at present. Increased timber harvesting would affect plant communities and associated wildlife populations, plus local stream temperature, sedimentation, flow, and nutrient enrichment. If all applications were denied, the affected companies might elect to construct mills on private land and rely on truck traffic for shipment of wood chips. Under such a scenario, truck traffic would increase by up to 400 trips per day.

AN - 36413238; 3645 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to control flooding problems along the Great Coharie Creek (GCC) and its tributaries in Sampson County, North Carolina, is proposed. The GCC covers about 50 stream miles from its origin near the town of Newton Grove to its confluence with the Black River. For the purposes of this plan, which focuses on 44 miles of the creek, the GCC has been divided into two sections: Reach 1 includes about 18 miles, from the GCC's confluence with the Black River to the crossing of State Road (SR) 1214; Reach 2 extends from SR 1214 upstream to the confluence of Kill Swamp, a distance of about 26 miles. The Williams Old Mill Branch tributary is located within Reach 2 and flows into the GCC approximately seven miles upstream from the SR 1214 bridge crossing. The principal public concerns are agricultural flood damages along the GCC and flooding at the Clinton Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP), located on the Williams Old Mill Branch. The proposed plan would involve constructing and maintaining an earthen dike around the Clinton WTP that would control flooding up to the 100-year level, and selectively clearing and snagging Reach 1 of the GCC. The proposed dike would have a length of 2,200 feet, and a 10-foot top width with 3 horizontal to 1 vertical side slopes. An 8-foot-wide by 2-foot-deep keytrench would be excavated and backfilled under the dike to reduce seepage. A ramp for a future service road would be built over the dike. Approximately 800 feet of the Williams Old Mill Branch adjacent to the Clinton WTP perimeter fence would be realigned 95 feet away from the fence to allow for construction of the dike outside the fence. The new channel would be 10 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Clearing and snagging along Reach 1 would consist of removing fallen trees, logs, limbs, debris, and selected live trees from the stream channel and from a 25-foot-wide corridor on each side of the stream channel. The estimated first cost of the proposed plan is $693,000, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.6. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Clearing and snagging operations would contribute to local farm income by reducing the threat of flooding. Flood damage prevented by the project would result in average annual benefits worth $179,800. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dike construction would require the filling of 2.4 acres of wetlands and would disturb five acres of upland habitat. Clearing debris from the GCC and relocating a portion of the Williams Old Mill Branch would increase sediment load temporarily. Aquatic organisms, particularly those that use debris for cover or spawning sites, would be affected by the proposed clearing and snagging.

AN - 36409809; 3613 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four- to six-lane, limited-access highway from the proposed Northwest Expressway in Hillsborough County, Florida, to US 98 in Hernando County is proposed. The proposed project would be approximately 43 miles long, and would include 12 interchanges, associated improvements to connecting or intersecting roads, and provisions for future commuter rail transit and/or high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes within the roadway median. The proposed right-of-way width would be 300 to 400 feet. The project area is divided into two zones: Zone 1 extends 15 miles from the Northwest Freeway near Van Dyke Road to State Route 52 (SR 52) in Pasco County, while Zone 2 extends 28 miles from SR 52 to US 98. Each zone is subdivided into several sections, for which two to four alternative alignments are under consideration. Traffic demand projections indicate a need for a six-lane highway throughout most of the length of the project, except for the northernmost and southernmost portions, where four lanes would be adequate. Within Zone 1, interchanges with the proposed Northwest Hillsborough Expressway, Van Dyke Road, Lutz-Lake Fern Road, SR 54, the proposed Bi-County Expressway, the proposed Ridge Road extension, and SR 52 would be provided. Within Zone 2, interchanges with County Line Road, Spring Hill Drive, SR 50, and Centralia Road would be provided. In addition to various build alternatives, three other alternatives are under consideration: (1) improving the existing regional roadway network, (2) providing rapid transit and other alternative transportation modes, and (3) the No-Build Alternative. The estimated cost of construction is $351 million. Mitigation to wetlands would cost $15.64 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed highway would serve an area that is already experiencing rapid residential and industrial development. It would relieve congestion on local roadways, resulting in decreased emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. It is estimated that by the year 2010, the proposed highway would reduce traffic on US 19, US 41, and Interstate 75 by 20 to 50 percent. Secondary impacts would include improved access by commuters and other area residents to Tampa and St. Petersburg. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The amount of land needed for right-of-way would vary from 1,022 to 1,026 acres in Zone 1 and from 1,337 to 1,378 acres in Zone 2. In Zone 1, between 159 and 171 acres of wetlands, primarily cypress strands and domes, would be displaced, and major tracts of land would be divided, interrupting wildlife movements. In Zone 2, between 16 and 30 acres of wetlands would be affected as would up to 810 acres of forested uplands. Residential relocations would range from 4 to 6 in Zone 1 and from 95 to 154 in Zone 2. In addition, up to 7 businesses in Zone 2 would require relocation. Up to 41 streets would require closing in Zone 2, but none would in Zone 1. Up to 162 sensitive sites in Zone 2, and between 3 and 6 sensitive sites in Zone 1, would experience substantial noise. Linear encroachments of 100-year floodplains would occur within a portion of Zone 1 (between 6.20 and 7.14 miles) and a much smaller portion of Zone 2 (approximately 0.45 miles).

AN - 36408729; 3643 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements associated with implementation of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project (SRFCP) of California are proposed. The SRFCP consists of approximately 1,000 miles of levees and associated structures, including overflow weirs, pumping plants, and bypass channels designed to protect municipal and agricultural lands in the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The study area includes the Sacramento River and its tributaries from Red Bluff to Collinsville. Included in the study area are portions of the American, Feather, Yuba, and Bear rivers, Yolo and Sutter bypasses, and other minor tributaries. The study area has been divided into five phases: I--the Sacramento urban area; II--the Marysville/Yuba City area; III--the Mid-Valley area; IV--the Lower Sacramento area; and V--the Upper Sacramento area. This proposal covers Phases II through V. The discussion is general in scope since further, detailed analysis will be performed for each phase of the study. The No Action Alternative and the following five action alternatives are under consideration: (1) constructing drainage improvements at or near the landward toe of the levee embankment; (2) raising the existing levee embankment, primarily on the landward side, in those reaches that do not have the minimum required design freeboard above the design water surface elevation; (3) a combination of Alternatives 1 and 2; (4) constructing a cutoff wall, which would create a barrier to the movement of water through the levee and foundation and prevent piping of the levee or foundation material; and (5) constructing drainage improvements and stabilizing the berm at the landward levee toe. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood protection for farmlands and communities within the study area would be improved to allow for safe and economically efficient use of urban and rural lands. Potential health problems associated with periodic flooding would be prevented. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee construction would displace vegetation, farmlands, and urban land. Wildlife habitat, including that of threatened and endangered animal species, could be impacted. Boat ramps, trails, and other recreational facilities would be temporarily closed.

Preparation date: June 11, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LACKAWANNA VALLEY INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAY, LACKAWANNA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36413031; 3627 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, limited-access highway in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, is proposed in order to improve the transportation link between the cities of Scranton and Carbondale. The 15-mile highway would extend from Interstate 81 (I-81) in Dunmore north to US 6 at Whites Crossing, just northeast of Carbondale. Three alternative corridors for the proposed highway were selected from among 25 corridor options identified in the early stages of the study. Alternatives A, B, and C were selected because of transportation effectiveness, engineering issues, and environmental concerns. For purposes of this study, the project area has been divided into four segments. In Segment 1, from the Central Scranton Expressway in Dunmore to Route 247 in Jessup, the preferred alternative would follow a northeastern route, at one point moving far to the east to avoid interfering with the operations of the Keystone landfill just outside Dunmore. It would then proceed along the eastern edge of the Mid-Valley Industrial Park. Within this segment, the I-81/84/380 interchange would be reconstructed as would additional lanes southward on I-81 to the point of connection with the Central Scranton Expressway. In Segment 2, from Route 247 in Jessup to Salem Road in Archibald, the preferred alternative would shift to the west to avoid affecting an abandoned mining village identified as a major archaeological site. In Segment 3, from Archibald to the Mayfield Borough line, the preferred alternative would move northwest, passing through a portion of the Aylesworth Lake Project and proceeding to an interchange with an extension of Rushbrook Street, just outside of Mayfield. In Segment 4, from the Mayfield Borough line to Whites Crossing on US 6, the preferred alternative would proceed northeast, passing just south of Childs. An interchange would be provided with a new connecting roadway from US 6 in Childs. The proposed highway would then pass to the east of Carbondale and to the west of Brownell Reservoir, and would then would connect directly with US 6 to the north. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the proposed highway would promote economic development within the Lackawanna Valley, which is underserved by the region's expressway network. The highway would improve traffic operations, reduce congestion, improve safety conditions on US 6, which currently has accident rates that exceed state averages, and improve access for emergency vehicle operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In Segment 1, 35 residences and six commercial operations would be displaced under the preferred alternative; in addition, 1.4 acres within the Dunmore Cemetery, which is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, would be affected as would 1.24 acres of wetlands. In Segment 3, one residence and two businesses would be displaced, 2.11 acres of wetlands would be destroyed, and property within the Jermyn historic district would be affected, but no structures would be lost. In Segment 4, two businesses would be displaced and 1.57 acres of wetlands would be destroyed. No adverse environmental impacts are identified for Segment 2.

Preparation date: June 10, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DEEP DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH HARBORS, SAN PEDRO BAY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407762; 3642 AB - PURPOSE: Expanding the capacity of the Port of Los Angeles in order to accommodate increased cargo traffic and to relocate hazardous and other facilities at the port is proposed. The recommended plan would involve dredging navigation channels and turning basins, and using the dredged material to create approximately 582 acres of new landfill, in the harbor. The landfill would support new container terminals, liquid bulk facilities, and dry bulk facilities. The newly created lands and the facilities they would support would be identified as Pier 400. Similar facilities would be relocated on existing lands on Pier 300. The dredging would be conducted in four increments through the year 2005 to create or improve channels within San Pedro Bay. The proposed increments are as follows: (a) deepening the existing 51-foot approach channel, constructing a new channel to Pier 300 at a depth of 63 feet, and disposing of the dredged material to create 168 acres in the Pier 400 area and 91 acres along the San Pedro Breakwater and access corridor; (b) deepening the main channel to Pier 400 from 63 to 81 feet and the south channel from 45 to 75 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by 337 acres; (c) extending the above-mentioned new channel to the container terminal area of Piers 300 and 400 at a depth of 45 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by 55 acres; and (d) extending the new channel to the proposed new container terminals on Pier 400 at a depth of 45 feet, and expanding Pier 400 by an additional 22 acres. The estimated first costs of the project are $550.5 million, and the benefit-cost ratio would be 2.04 for transportation and 2.41 for land enhancement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the capacity of Los Angeles Harbor would help satisfy existing and anticipated demand for the port's facilities, partly as a result of increased trade with Pacific Rim nations. Safety within the harbor would also be enhanced due to wider waterway turning capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposal of dredged material would result in temporary localized turbidity and the permanent loss of shallow and soft-bottom habitat. Waters that have high fish nursery value and that have been identified as critical habitat for the foraging activities of the California brown pelican and the endangered California least tern would be lost to the landfill. Increased ship traffic within the harbor would increase the potential for accidental leaks or discharges and oil spills.

Preparation date: June 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 21 FREEWAY EXTENSION PROJECT FROM MONROE STREET IN PASSAIC TO ROUTE 46 IN CLIFTON, PASSAIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. AN - 36404038; 3620 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of 1.8 miles of new highway from Monroe Street in Passaic, New Jersey, to Route 46 in Clifton is proposed. The project would complete the Route 21 Freeway and relieve congestion on area roads. Route 21 currently consists of a nine-mile highway between Newark and Passaic. In the early 1970s construction was halted before the highway had reached its logical terminus because local municipalities requested that additional studies of alternative alignments be conducted. Because construction was halted, Route 21 currently terminates in Passaic, and traffic is diverted onto local roads that traverse residential and commercial areas. The proposed highway would begin where Route 21 ends in Passaic (near Hope Avenue) and would continue in a northeasterly direction, passing over Monroe Street and Dayton Avenue. Beyond Dayton Avenue, the highway would cross over the Dundee Canal and proceed in a northwesterly direction, passing east of the Botany Mills Complex. The highway would then skirt the canal and pass over Ackerman Avenue. Past Ackerman Avenue, it would run parallel to Dundee Lake and merge with Route 46. The new highway would be constructed along one of four alignments under consideration. These alternative alignments are referred to as Alternative 1, Shift A, Shift B, and Shift AB. Under the latter three alternatives, part of the alignment would be constructed on the peninsula between Dundee Canal and the Passaic River. This would reduce impacts to the canal, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and is an aquatic habitat. Alternative 1 has been selected as the preferred alternative because it would have the least overall socioeconomic and environmental impact; however, some portions of the alignment would be located directly over Dundee Canal. The proposed project also includes three schemes for the Route 46/Lexington Avenue interchange in Clifton. Estimated construction costs for the project range from $63.6 million to $91.4 million, depending on the alternative selected, while right-of-way costs range from $7.7 million to $15.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion in the immediate area by 25 to 50 percent and improve regional traffic flow. Extending Route 21 to Route 46 would complete regional linkups among Routes 21, 22, 78, 280, 3, 46, and 80, and the Garden State Parkway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Twenty-one to 119 families and 4 to 18 businesses would be relocated, depending on the freeway and interchange alternatives selected. In addition, 2.8 to 10.6 acres of the Passaic River and 0.8 to 8.9 acres of the Dundee Canal would be filled. Approximately 0.5 acres of wetlands would be taken. Noise levels at 104 to 115 sensitive locations would increase; with noise barriers, these impacts could be reduced by 50 to 65 percent. Up to seven historic architectural sites and five archaeological sites eligible for listing in the National Register would be adversely affected.

Regulations have been enacted to address various aspects of the use of lead-based paints. One regulation which has had a major effect on the hydraulic structure maintenance painting industry over the past several years: the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA requires that waste materials, such as the spent abrasives blasting, be subjected to an acid extraction test. If the test reveals a lead level in excess of 5 ppm, the waste is considered hazardous and accordingly must meet strict handling and disposal requirements. Although the full force of this regulation has been in effect for only one paint season, some generalizations can be made: if the paint system being removed used a red lead primer, it will probably fail the extraction test and thus must be considered hazardous; when a hazardous material is being removed, the resulting debris must be properly contained, stored, transported, and treated to make it nonhazardous; and, a major problem related to containing the debris is the need to meet the OSHA requirement for protecting workers from toxic dust. The US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USACERL) Paint Technology Center has recently begun research on a REMR Research Program work unit to address the lead paint problem. Districts planning such work before the publication of this guidance should consider the following points: although current regulations do not forbid the continued use of lead-based paints, it does not seem prudent to continue to apply major quantities; and, since regulations do not require the removal of existing lead-based coatings, maintenance-in-place of reasonably sound coatings would appear to be a cost-effective practice.

It is a viable alternative to removing and replacing deteriorated sections of concrete. Chemical grouting requires less equipment and time than does concrete removal and replacement and, therefore, can provide a less costly repair. Soda Dam located in Soda Springs, Idaho, on the Bear River, was constructed in 1925. Concrete deterioration occurred on the downstream face of the dam during the first 25 years after construction. In an attempt to arrest the deterioration, a thin shotcrete layer was placed on the downstream face in the 1950s. Minor leakage resulted in water being trapped behind the shotcrete. During inspections in 1990, the existing shotcrete layer was found to be delaminating from the underlying surface. A decision was made to eliminate the leakage through the structure. A hydrophilic, polyurethane foam chemical grout was chosen for injection into the joints and cracks. This grout is water reactive and expands 10 to 15 times its original volume. The final product is a flexible foam grout that has low permeability and adheres to concrete surfaces. A short testing program revealed that a hole spacing of 1.5 ft would assure maximum grout penetration between holes. A total of 290 gal of polyurethane grout was injected into 450 holes for the treatment of 630 linear ft of monolith and lift joints. The downstream face of the dam was not rehabilitated but was left as it was found after removal of the shotcrete. Since the completion of the chemical grouting program in late 1990, seepage through the concrete dam has been essentially eliminated with no measurable leakage encountered. The actual cost to complete the chemical grouting program was $1196,000, which was within the original estimated range of costs.

However, some of the systems have been placed in areas where there is neither budget nor staff to operate them properly. A system installed in the small farming community of Emerson, Iowa experienced problems due to hardware failures, equipment failures, battery failures, false pager alarms, power failures, and a lack of adequate training. The complexity of the system, suitable for a larger community with a 24-hour engineering staff, doomed it to failure in a small town. An alternative system was developed for Scribner, Nebraska, using an appropriate technology level. The system incorporated a hydrologic model for the watershed, stage gages utilizing stilling wells and commercial dialers, and a flood response plan that relied upon a high degree of community involvement. Several flood events highlighted strengths and weaknesses of the system, permitting improvements to be made. A similar system was installed at Emerson to replace the state-of-the-art system that had failed. Key factors governing the choice of an appropriate flood warning system include availability of a facility with uninterruptible power and 24-hour staffing, adequate staff capable of maintaining a base station computer and software, an adequate budget for operation, maintenance, and replacement of expensive critical components, and community support for a complex system.

In ice-covered lakes, the sources are drastically reduced; ice cover prevents reaeration and snow on the ice screens most of the light necessary for photosynthesis; inflows are often only from groundwaters withlow DO. Winterkill begins to occur when DO falls below 0.2 to 2.5 mg/L depending on fish species. Measured DO depletion in ice-covered lakes is usually attributed to two sinks: WOD and SOD. The dependence of SOD on other basic physical and biological parameters is of particular interest. Available data suggest a dependence of SOD on at least three of these parameters: temperature, availability of DO, and flow velocity. Various forms of lake aeration are used as a remedy against low oxygen concentrations, with air bubble plumes and cascade aerators probably the most common. Photosynthesis may lead to DO supersaturation in the water column in winter if photosynthetically active radiation can penetrate the ice cover.

Modelers use one or more methods which include in situ respirometry, undisturbed laboratory cores, and simply varying SOD to achieve model calibration. The in situ respirometer was used and compared with laboratory SOD measurement to evaluate in situ SOD measurements at two river locations with considerably different sediment characteristics and river hydraulics to provide modelers with a basis for judging the utility of laboratory-core measurements as surrogates for in situ respirometry, evaluate river specific laboratory core/in situ respirometry SOD correlations, and compile an improved data base for quantifying the variability in SOD rates measured by each technique. Sediment samples were collected from two New England sites with widely different sediment characteristics in 70 mm diameter plexiglass containers 150 to 200 mm deep. Six to eight cores were usually collected at a stream site within a 1 to 3 m radius. Laboratory testing involved the adjustment of circulation rates to achieve turnover times comparable to the in situ tests, dissolved oxygen depletion of at least 1 mg/L during tests, determination of background water column respiration rates, and placement of the device in a water bath to minimize air leaks and temperature variations caused by room temperature changes and heat input from the circulation pump. SOD rates using both measurement procedures increased with increasing mixing in the chambers. The results suggest that there is some justification for using laboratory cores methods as surrogates for in situ respirometry. Laboratory tests are easier to conduct, utilize fewer field personnel, and generally require less expensive equipment than in situ testing.

The reservoir was created to assist in providing uniform flows in the Wisconsin River, and has had a subsequent history of major winter fish kills and summer algal blooms. During May 1988, sediment samples were taken at 37 locations along the length of the reservoir to assess the role of sediment dynamics in dissolved oxygen depletion during the winter in the reservoir. Multiple samples were taken along transects at river miles 0.3, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, and 17.4. Core samples were measured for length, and then sectioned vertically into 0, 5, and 10 cm samples for determination of physical characteristics. Analyses included bulk density and organic matter content. Iron, manganese, conductivity and COD in interstitial waters demonstrated distinct peaks at the 10.0 mile mark. Lower level peaks for each of these constituents occurred between river miles 2 and 7 above the dam. The accumulation of reduced iron and manganese under anaerobic conditions in the interstitial waters of flooded soils and sediments is a well-known phenomenon, and it is assumed that all of the iron and manganese obtained was in reduced form. Microbial anaerobic processes fueled by the organic matter originating from spring runoff impart high levels of oxygen-demanding reduced inorganic species and easily degraded organic substances within the sediment interstitial waters. Sediments in the downstream areas that are deeper and less likely to be disturbed may serve as diffusional sources of reduced chemicals creating a oxygen demand in waters near the dam.

In addition to the chemical forces present, there are several important physical processes that affect the oxygen and/or nutrient fluxes: sediment resuspension, photosynthesis, macrofaunal activity, and temperature. Four general techniques are used for measuring solute uptake in shallow water regions: nonaerated flux chambers, continuous flow chambers, electrodes, and sediment incubation techniques. Because of the many different factors involved in measuring the solute fluxes of a nearshore or freshwater system, a combination of techniques should be employed. This literature review divides the information available on sediment oxygen demand and nutrient flux measurement techniques into: general geochemical/biological references, nonaerated chamber references, flow chamber references, electrode references, incubation references.

In the early years of conducting waste load allocation assessments in Region IV, the water bodies of interest were typically the large rivers, lakes and estuaries. Today an increasing number of small wadeable streams are subjects of waste-load allocation. Boulders, rubble, gravel, bedrock, submerged logs, stumps, and other irregular substrates are the predominant component of the streambed. With these substrates, or when dissolved oxygen concentrations are absent or generally less than 1 mg/L near the bottom, the use of in situ chambers is not practical. An alternate means of determining SOD rates regardless of the ambient state of the oxygen regime at the water-sediment interface involves the DiToro model framework which considers the chemical oxygen demand flux of the sediment-interstitial water interactions. The DiToro oxygen equivalents model of SOD would be a useful assessment tool, as the input data are collected in the field. The oxygen equivalents model plus the 'stake' type sampling device could provide a useful approach to SOD measurements. The dissolved oxygen concentrations of water overlying the sediments can be considered a factor affecting SOD rates. The observed effects are that the SOD rate decreases with reduced concentrations of dissolved oxygen. In most instances, temperature effects on SOD are described in a mathematical formulation which generally shows direct proportional response of SOD to a measured increase or decrease in temperature. However, if only temperature compensation effects were used to describe seasonal responses, SOD would appear to be inappropriate since SOD rates are also dependent on dissolved oxygen concentration.

The fluxes of dissolved methane, ammonia, methane, and nitrogen gas are also included in the model. The importance of methane and nitrogen gas fluxes and their quantitative relationship to SOD is established, which has implications both with respect to modeling SOD kinetics and for field data collection programs. Any field program that includes the measurement of SOD should also include the measurement of these gas fluxes. The square root relationship that has been observed in experiments and in field data between SOD and sediment areal volatile suspended solids and COD concentrations is the result of an increasing fraction of gaseous methane that escapes. The dissolved methane mass transfer coefficient and the two oxidation reaction rate parameters are estimated from laboratory and field data sets with simultaneous measurements of at least two of the modeled fluxes. The effect of overlying water, dissolved oxygen, and temperature conforms to the model formulation. The model is limited to freshwater sediments since the oxidation of sulfides is not included. The contribution from the respiration of benthic macrofauna is also not incorporated.

An example of such chambers is the 'USC Lander'. It is made from 6061 aluminum square tubing, welded into a triangular base, three vertical supports, and three struts that angle from the vertical pieces to a center plate. A harness connects the Lander to a braided nylon line to which glass floats are attached. Three cylindrical PVC chambers (12 inches diameter, 8 inches tall) are mounted inside an aluminum tray which is free to slide vertically on three aluminum guide tubes. The chamber falls under its own weight and will seat into the sediment so that 3 to 6 inches of chamber are held above the sediment-water interface. Samples are drawn from the chambers using two primary techniques: approximately 300 ml of chamber water are removed when two vinyl bulbs are allowed to expand; and a standard syringe (60 ml) is used to draw smaller aliquots of chamber water. The timing device is directed using a Tattletale data logger and all mechanical functions are accomplished by releasing a burn wire. The oxygen electrode is a membrane-covered polarographic electrode operated in a pulse mode. Dissolved oxygen is often found in the tubing, and corrections must be made for this contamination. Stirring effects do not seem to play an important role in the boundary layer effects. (Brunone-PTT) JF - IN: Proceedings, US Army Corps of Engineers Workshop on Sediment Oxygen Demand.

A free vehicle instrument has been developed which is capable of performing benthic flux chamber incubations at the sea floor. The overall tubular frame consists of an upper section which contains large glass flotation spheres. Adjacent to each of three feet are thin-walled open-ended cylinders in which expendable ballast is suspended from the jaw releases locations directly above them. The experimental chamber is located in the middle of the triangular base and consists of a 30 cm by 30 cm box of thin-walled titanium. The sampling system consists of inexpensive spring-driven syringes attached to the release assembly. Over the last three years, a study of the benthic exchange along the California continental margin has been conducted using this device. Interfacial profiles of dissolved oxygen were measured in situ and oxygen fluxes calculated. The pore water and benthic chamber silicate fluxes were similar suggesting that gross discrepancies do not exist in the methodologies. The flux of oxidants (oxygen, nitrate, and sulfate) into the sediments can be used to predict the flux of inorganic carbon and titration alkalinity from the sediments. At sites where significant quantities of reduced solutes are not present in the pore waters, benthic fluxes measured by flux chamber are not extremely sensitive to chamber stirring rate.

In estuaries, there are two broad categories of dissolved chemical species: those whose concentration is determined only by the contributing proportions of riverine and offshore water (conservative in character); and those whose concentration is determined by chemical or biotic interactions and transformation (nonconservative in character). Both abiotic and biotic factors can effect changes in flux rates. Three different techniques have been used to measure nutrient fluxes across the sediment-water interface including the estimation of fluxes from the application of theoretical differential constants to the nutrient concentrations of the water just over the benthos and the vertical profiles of the interstitial pore water and the measurement of changes in the nutrient concentration in the water layer directly over the benthos either with benthic chambers in situ or in microcosms. For most estuarine systems and their adjacent coastal waters, the seasonal trends in the flux rates are similar. In the spring, winter and fall, rates of pelagic nutrient uptake rates are greater than the release of the nutrients from the benthos. In the summer, the sediments of the water below the thermocline exhibit sediment release and exchange rates associated with the decline in oxygen concentration. Nutrient exchange rates have been shown to be indicative of and affected by many estuarine processes. These flux rates may help quantify the structure, developmental processes, and vigor of the benthic communities. These nutrient exchange rates across the interface may exert a stabilizing effect on the transfer of nutrients within the estuary, and help define the processes by which estuaries act as net contributors to adjacent coastal waters.

Benthic fluxes of oxygen and dissolved nutrients were determined four (five beginning in 1989) times annually at ten (now eight) monitoring stations located in the Maryland portion of Chesapeake bay and its major northern tributaries. Sediment deposition measurements are made almost continuously during spring, summer and fall. The survey revealed that SOC rates are generally less that 0.5 g O2/sq m/day when water temperatures are less that 10 C. Seasonal patterns of SOC rates at stations subject to periodic anoxia were strongly influenced by the timing and duration of low oxygen conditions in late spring and summer as well as the occurrence of reaeration events. These factors contributed to generally higher variability and lower summer rates of SOC at midbay stations. Spatial, temporal and interannual trends of SOC and nutrient fluxes in Chesapeake Bay are ecologically interpretable and can be shown to be linked to nutrient loading and other environmental forcing. Both water column and sediment oxygen consumption contribute to oxygen depletion. Better techniques are needed to determine total benthic respiration, either H2S flux or total dissolved inorganic carbon flux.

AN - 36395868; 3548 AB - PURPOSE: Retention of the U.S. Army Information Systems Command (USAIC) and associated elements at Fort Huachuca in Cochise County, Arizona, is proposed in this draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of June 1990. The final EIS had proposed transferring the USAIC to Fort Devens, in Massachusetts, and consolidating the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Fort Devens with the Intelligence School at Fort Huachuca; however, in 1991, Fort Devens was selected as one of the installations to be closed as part of an overall reduction in Army force structure. Under the proposal presented in this draft supplement, Fort Huachuca would house the consolidated Intelligence School while retaining USAIC, which would result in a cumulative increase of 2,250 personnel positions at the fort (2,023 military and 227 civilian). The preferred alternative would provide for the following: a new operations building for the consolidated Directorate of Training and Doctrine; 72 additional rooms to be added to one of the wings of a barracks building currently under construction; a new 28-chair dental clinic; two new facilities to house the Basic Morse Department and the Morse Training Department; additions to the central air conditioning and heating plant; and other improvements to utilities to accommodate the anticipated population increase. In addition, it would involve widening Hunt, Arizona, and Hatfield streets to four-lane roadways; improving Cibeque Street; and providing supporting signalization to meet increased traffic demands. The relocation of personnel from Fort Devens would occur in three phases: the Electronic Warfare Department would move in January 1993; the Morse Collection Department in October 1993; and the Maintenance Training Department in April 1994. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Army educational activities associated with intelligence and information would be consolidated, increasing the efficiency of the Army mission in these areas while decreasing expenditures. The population increase in Cochise County would benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in an increased demand for on-post services and utilities and would generate additional traffic, noise, and pollutants.

AN - 36406562; 3644 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a beach erosion control and restoration project is proposed in response to storm damage along the shorelines of the communities of Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and Sea Gate in the borough of Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. The study shoreline is approximately 3.2 miles long. This document supplements the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of November 1978 on the restoration and maintenance of the beaches of Coney Island and Brighton. Under the plan recommended in this final supplement, the beach along the study shoreline would be widened via placement of hydraulic fill along 15,550 feet of shoreline between Norton Point and Corbin Place. The fill would maintain a 100-foot minimum berm width along the shoreline between West 37th Street and Corbin Place as measured generally from the seaward face of the boardwalk. The design would provide berm widths of 125 feet in both Brighton Beach and Coney Island. The berm would have an elevation of 13 feet national geodetic vertical datum. The project would also involve extension of the groin at West 37th Street to a length of 350 feet, placement of a fillet of sand at Sea Gate, and maintenance of the existing groin at Corbin Place. The average berm width for the fillet at Sea Gate would be 215 feet. Initial nourishment would require 2.28 million cubic yards of sand. Renourishment fill would be placed along the beachfront at ten-year intervals. Each renourishment would require approximately 990,000 cubic yards of sand. Approximately 53,000 tons of quarry stone would be needed for the extension of the West 37th Street groin. The estimated initial cost of the recommended plan is $23.86 million; the federal government would pay $15.51 million of that amount. The benefit-cost ratio is 2.74. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a wider, more useful beach, the plan would protect shoreline developments against the largest storm surge, which occurs on an average of once every 200 years. The sand fillet at Sea Gate would constitute the least costly alternative for achieving closure with the shoreline to be extended west of the West 37th Street groin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of fill material would disturb and destroy benthic organisms and habitat. Placement of fill along the Coney Island beaches would temporarily degrade the existing beach habitat during initial deposition and periodic maintenance deposition. Use of the immediate shoreline area by fish and avian species for feeding would be disrupted. Decreased water quality and increased turbidity associated with hydraulic placement of fill would also be expected. These impacts would be minor and brief.

AN - 36413196; 3641 AB - PURPOSE: Designating a U.S. Navy ocean disposal site for project-specific dredged material from Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda and Naval Supply Center (NSC) Oakland, both located on the east side of San Francisco Bay, California, is proposed. In August 1990 the Navy completed a final environmental impact statement (EIS) on proposed dredging to increase channel depths at NAS Alameda and NSC Oakland. NAS Alameda is located on the bay at the west end of the city of Alameda. NSC Oakland is located on the bay at the west end of the city of Oakland. At NAS Alameda, the new dredging would deepen carrier berthing areas to 50 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW); the current depth of these areas is 42 feet below MLLW. At NSC Oakland, the new dredging would deepen the present maintenance level for supply ships from 35 feet below MLLW to 38 feet below MLLW, and to 41 feet below MLLW in pier and channel areas. Dredging quantity would be approximately 600,000 cubic yards at NAS Alameda and 1.0 million cubic yards at NSC Oakland. This draft supplement to the final EIS presents additional analysis of the offshore site selected for ocean disposal of dredged material. The site is located approximately 55 nautical miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge in the southwest corner of the former Chemical Munitions Dumping Area, on the lower continental slope, at a water depth of 2,900 meters. It is outside navigational areas, national marine sanctuaries, and commercial and recreational areas. The site occupies approximately 3.2 nautical square miles. Throughout a six-to-eight-month period, approximately 1.6 million cubic yards of dredged material would be transported to the site by split-hull, oceangoing barges. The area of seafloor impacted would be minimized by the use of precise navigational equipment, disposal operations logs, and operations reviews to ensure that each barge load was deposited in the same location each time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deeper channel depths would provide adequate clearance for aircraft carriers and supply ships entering NAS Alameda and NSC Oakland, respectively. The proposed disposal site, because it is located off the continental shelf, is not a prime fishing area; furthermore, it has been used as a waste disposal site in the past. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed disposal would result in sediment accumulation up to 10.5 inches. Pelagic marine organisms directly beneath disposal barges could be engulfed by descending materials, while sessile benthic organisms in the project area could be smothered by sediment.

Preparation date: May 22, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GROUSE CREEK PROJECT, CUSTER COUNTY, IDAHO (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1984). AN - 36387329; 3570 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the expansion of the Sunbeam Mining Project, a gold and silver mine in the Challis National Forest in Custer County, Idaho, is proposed. The expanded portion of the project, which would be known as the Grouse Creek Project, would involve two mine pits within the Grouse Creek drainage containing gold and silver ore. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of September 1984 on the Sunbeam Mining Project addresses decisions to be made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) regarding permits applied for under Sections 402 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. These decisions are based on modifications in the project proposal by the Hecla Mining Company, the permit applicant. The Grouse Creek Project would have six primary components: a mine pit in the Grouse Creek drainage, a waste rock dump, a mine tailings impoundment in the Pinyon Basin, a pit area processing facility, ore and waste haul roads, and access roads. A total of 515 acres of private and public land would be disturbed. Approximately 6,000 tons of ore and 43,000 tons of waste rock per day would be mined during two operating shifts; the expected life of the mine is eight years. Ore would be processed in a milling scheme that would combine a conventional counter-current decant system with a carbon-in-pulp circuit to achieve optimal recovery of precious metals. The mill would operate at 6,000 tons per day with Sunbeam and Grouse Creek ore. Cyanide would be used in the milling process to recover the precious metals. Waste rock would be hauled from the pits and placed in the waste dump, which would be stabilized with rock keyblock constructed on bedrock at the waste dump toe. The lined tailings impoundment would have two embankments constructed to store 15 million tons of tailings. The tailings impoundment embankments would be constructed using waste rock from the Sunbeam and Grouse pits. Approximately 5 million tons of Grouse Creek waste rock would be placed in the mined-out Sunbeam pit. Haul roads would be 60 feet wide. Access road development would involve upgrading Beaver-Loon Creek Road to accommodate two lanes of traffic throughout much of its length. The Forest Service and the EPA have identified the proposed project as the preferred alternative, but the Fish and Wildlife Service has endorsed the No Action Alternative because of the likely impacts of the project on fish, wildlife, and wetlands. The COE will not identify a preferred alternative until its investigations under the Clean Water Act have been completed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of mining facilities in the area would increase the U.S. supply of gold and silver. Employment, personal income, and the associated tax base in Custer County would increase somewhat. Some 125 people would be employed at the mine and another 110 to 120 jobs would result due to secondary employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grouse Creek Project development and operations would result in the disturbance of 515 acres of land. Geochemical analyses indicate that there would be the potential for acid to leach from the dump for waste rock mined from the Sunbeam pit. Surface water quality within Jordan Creek and Grouse Creek could be affected by sediment discharges, acid drainage, spills from transporting tailings or chemicals, and leakage through the tailings impoundment liner. Process makeup water requirements could result in substantial groundwater withdrawals. Small streams would be filled, and up to 7.9 acres of wetlands would be lost. Some cultural, transportation, and recreational impacts would be expected, but these would be minimal. Visual resources and aesthetics would also be impacted, with major landform changes being irreversible.

Preparation date: May 22, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UTAH FOREST HIGHWAY 5 (WOLF CREEK ROAD, UTAH STATE ROUTE 35), NORTH FORK PROVO RIVER BRIDGE TO STOCKMORE, DUCHESNE AND WASATCH COUNTIES, UTAH. AN - 36413277; 3628 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction of a segment of Utah Forest Highway 5 (also known as State Route 35 and Wolf Creek Road) in Duchesne and Wasatch counties, Utah, is proposed. The segment begins in the Provo River Valley near the confluence of the north and south forks of the Provo River. It extends from the North Fork Provo River bridge, 10 miles east of Francis, to the beginning of the recently improved section of the highway, about 0.8 miles east of the North Fork Duchesne River bridge in Stockmore. State Route (SR) 35 is paved with an asphalt surface from Francis to the North Fork Provo River bridge. Just east of the bridge, SR 35 becomes a gravel and dirt road that extends 24 miles eastward to the North Fork Duchesne River bridge. The gravel and dirt portion begins at an elevation of 7,160 feet and climbs steadily upward, following the South Fork Provo River drainage to its beginning at Wolf Creek Summit. The road crosses Wolf Creek Summit at an elevation of 9,470 feet and then proceeds to the east along the Wolf Creek and West Fork Duchesne River drainages to the North Fork Duchesne River bridge. It proceeds eastward from the North Fork Duchesne River bridge for 0.8 miles to connect once again with a paved portion of SR 35. Six alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are under consideration. Under most of the alternatives, the existing one- and two-lane dirt and gravel road would be improved to create a two-lane road. Action alternatives include the following: B--reconstructing and paving SR 35 to minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, with a design speed of 50 miles per hour (mph); C--reconstructing and paving SR 35 to minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, with a design speed of 45 mph on the lower portions and 35 mph on the upper and middle sections; D--reconstructing and paving SR 35 to less than the minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, using the same design speeds as under Alternative C; E--reconstructing SR 35 as in Alternative D, but with a gravel surface; and F--shaping and paving existing SR 35. Alternative D is the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Improvement of the road would serve the residents of Duchesne, Wasatch, and Summit counties, as well as the population centers along the Wasatch Front, and would benefit the local economy. Recreational users and schoolchildren would be provided with enhanced access to the surrounding areas of the Uinta National Forest. Forest management would be enhanced as well. An unfinished link in the state transportation system would be completed. Pavement of the roadway would reduce dust pollution along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb soils and vegetation. Cultural resource sites, including historic and prehistoric artifacts, would lie within the rights-of-way of the improvement project. Project activities would displace 5.1 to 8.2 acres of wetlands and 3.1 to 5.1 acres of riparian land. Some cut-and-fill activity could be required. Alternative B could result in noise levels exceeding federal standards. The project could encounter a hazardous waste disposal site.

AN - 36406588; 3636 AB - PURPOSE: Expansion of a commercial import inspection lot and dock facility in Del Rio, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border is proposed. The proposed site occupies 52 acres northeast of the Rio Grande River, three-quarters of a mile inland at the terminus of the Del Rio-Ciudad Acuna International Bridge. The import lot is used by officials of the U.S. Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and Department of Agriculture to inspect empty and loaded commercial vans and trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico. The import lot presently contains only five usable docks, and, because of the size of the dock platform, only one truck can be fully unloaded at one time for detailed inspection. Because of dramatic increases in commercial traffic in recent years, significant traffic congestion and delays have developed at the border station. Under the proposed action, the dock facilities would be expanded and relocated across Rio Grande Street directly northeast of the present station. The docks would be built in phases of one 25-dock module at a time until 100 docks were ultimately built. Fifty docks are needed to handle the anticipated truck traffic throughout the 1990-2020 planning period. Construction of the first module would commence as soon as the plan was approved; construction of the second would commence in the year 2000. The existing administration building and primary commercial inspection booths would continue to be used throughout this period, and the existing five-space dock would be used for inspection of empty trucks. A new hazardous material inspection facility, a bulk cargo compound, and a dog building and an impound lot would be constructed immediately. Some additional facilities would be added in 2000, including a new administration building, employee and visitor parking, and inspection booths; also in the year 2000, a section of Rio Grande Street bordering the import lot would be closed to vehicular traffic. A 250-foot-wide buffer zone would surround the facility to shield residential areas from noise, light, and other annoying factors. Total construction costs are estimated at $15.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed expansion would enable U.S. inspection teams to respond to increased commercial traffic volume at the border station, caused in part by the construction of a new four-lane bridge across the border and the growth in the number of maquiladora plants in the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the destruction of two residences and two commercial buildings. In addition, farmland currently under cultivation would be converted to commercial uses.

Preparation date: May 15, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE TRUNK HIGHWAY 64, HOULTON TO NEW RICHMOND, SAINT CROIX COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36410986; 3630 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of State Trunk Highway (STH) 64 between Houlton and New Richmond in Saint Croix County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The project area is located in northwestern Saint Croix County, about 25 miles northeast of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan area. It begins northeast of Houlton and ends just east of New Richmond, and includes approximately 18 miles of existing STH 64. Some sections currently experience traffic volumes that exceed the capacity of the roadway, and forecasters predict that traffic volumes on STH 64 will nearly double between 1990 and 2016. By 2016 the entire length of STH 64 in the project area will operate at an unacceptable level of service, resulting in congestion and traffic backups. STH 64 is among the highways earmarked for improvement under the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Corridors 2020 Plan, devised to enhance economic development of the region. It has been designated for upgrading to a multilane facility. In addition to the No-Build Alternative, nine build alternatives in the South Corridor and 12 build alternatives in the Central Corridor are considered in this draft EIS. The South Corridor passes south of Somerset and south and east of New Richmond; the Central Corridor follows a northeasterly alignment, passing south of Somerset and north of New Richmond. There is no preferred alternative. The build alternatives propose the construction of an expressway-type facility with controlled access. The typical roadway section would be a four-lane rural facility with two travel lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot median. The width of right-of-way required generally would be 250 feet, with variations for roadway sections that required cut or fill. Generally, public access would be spaced at approximately one-mile intervals. Interchanges would be provided at major crossroads, with at-grade intersections as needed. Access to private property abutting the proposed highway would be provided directly or indirectly with the objective of minimizing the number of direct accesses. The South and Central corridor routes would include 4.3 to 8.0 miles and 3.8 to 8.5 miles, respectively, of existing transportation routes, and 10.3 to 13.8 miles and 5.8 to 11.1 miles, respectively, of new alignment routes. Total right-of-way acres required for the South and Central corridors would be 478 to 557 acres and 341 to 499 acres, respectively. Project costs for the South and Central corridors would be approximately $45 million to $48 million and $44 million to $48 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Highway improvements would result in improved motorist convenience, safety, and energy use; greater potential for area economic and residential development due to improved transportation; stronger economic and social ties with the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area; improved emergency vehicle service; and the potential for new tax base sources in the project area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would result in 50 to 77 property encroachments, including 4 to 9 farm severances. The project would involve 2 to 18 residential relocations, 1 to 10 commercial relocations, and 3 to 7 potential hazardous materials sites. Potential environmental effects would include high degradation and /or loss of wetlands, agricultural land, woodlands, water resources, and visual quality; moderate degradation of floodplains and noise quality; and low degradation of air quality. Socioeconomic consequences of the project would include inconvenience and added cost because of traffic detours and delays during construction; relocation of residences and businesses; and removal of private properties from tax rolls, thereby causing a reduction in the tax base.

Preparation date: May 7, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROJECT BRF-239(12), WILLIAM S. KELLER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT ON US HIGHWAY 31, MORGAN AND LIMESTONE COUNTIES, ALABAMA. AN - 36408688; 3608 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bridge on US Highway 31 spanning the Tennessee River between Morgan and Limestone counties, at Decatur, Alabama, and removal of the deteriorating historic William S. Keller Bridge, is proposed. The proposed new bridge and its approaches would be approximately 1.5 miles long, starting in the city of Decatur in Morgan County and extending across the Tennessee River into Limestone County. The William S. Keller Bridge presently is used as two southbound lanes, and a more modern bridge carries the two northbound lanes. The Keller Bridge was erected in 1926 and includes a movable bascule draw that provides the only opening on the structure for the passage of river traffic. The newer bridge was constructed at a much greater height and allows river traffic to pass beneath it unhindered. The new structure would be erected at a height sufficient to enable river traffic to move freely without disrupting roadway vehicles. The typical section of the new bridge would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes with a 10-foot outside shoulder and a 6-foot inside shoulder, thus providing a 40-foot curb-to-curb roadway. Four alternatives are considered, including the No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would place the new bridge east of and adjacent to the existing high-rise bridge. This would allow the present Keller Bridge to maintain traffic flow during construction of the new bridge. Once the proposed project was completed, the Keller Bridge would be removed, the new bridge would carry northbound vehicles, and the existing high-rise bridge would handle southbound traffic. The estimated cost for this alternative is $14.97 million, and construction time is estimated at two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bridge construction would improve transportation and foster economic growth. The project would enhance safety by providing a roadway facility whose vehicles would not be impeded by the movement of river vessels. Emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars would have better access to the surrounding areas. The local economy would be stimulated by the use of materials and labor during construction. The long-term economy of the region would be enhanced by the improved ability of industries to transport input materials to local industries and output products to market areas, thereby increasing the tax base of the city. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge would acquire a 16-acre area of drained wetlands that could be restored easily to its former wetland status and be added to the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge to offset the loss of wetlands to right-of-way. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction would result in short traffic delays, noise, and air quality degradation. The project would also result in temporary erosion and siltation during construction. There would be a small loss of commercial land to right-of-way and the displacement of one business. Additional right-of-way acquisitions would include approximately six acres of wetlands from the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.

AN - 36407844; 3631 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a 16.2-mile State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 bypass route around the village of Bonduel and city of Shawano in Shawano County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The 1989 traffic volume on the existing route in Bonduel was 10,300 vehicles per day (vpd), and this figure is projected to increase to 11,900 vpd by 2014. Respective traffic figures in Shawano for these years are 13,900 to 16,800 vpd and 15,250 to 25,250 vpd. The bypass project would consist of a four-lane, controlled-access facility, with two 12-foot driving lanes in each direction, 6-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders, ditch sections on either side, and a 60-foot grass median for the rural section. The project would begin on STH 29 approximately 1.5 miles east of Bonduel and would rejoin existing STH 29 approximately 0.5 miles west of Thornton. In addition to the No Action Alternative and the option of improving the existing through route, two southern and two northern bypass alternatives were considered. All build alternatives would require a new crossing of the Wolf River and a new crossing of the west branch of the Shioc River. Under the preferred alternative (the revised Near South Alternative), which would bypass Shawano to the south, interchanges would be constructed at Highways 47 and 55 near Bonduel, and at Highway 22 and near the present Highway 29 railroad overhead west of Shawano. One additional interchange would be constructed at either Pit Road or Highway ""T.'' The costs of the preferred alternative are estimated at $32.3 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is 3.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bypass availability would separate through traffic, including numerous large trucks, from local traffic within Shawano, easing local congestion and reducing long-distance travel times. Projected traffic capacity and safety problems would be forestalled. The bypass would route 80 percent of through traffic around Bonduel and 40 to 64 percent around Shawano in 2014. It would constitute a portion of a multilane route along STH 29 that would ultimately cross the entire state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the southern bypass along the route of the preferred alternative would require the acquisition of 491 acres of land, including 332 acres of farmland within 43 farms and 54 acres of wetland, and the displacement of 16 residences. In addition, construction would result in potential disturbance to 21 archaeological sites; one of these sites has been declared eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: May 5, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AREA, CALIFORNIA FLOOD CONTROL PLAN. AN - 36408547; 3640 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control measures is proposed for portions of the Sacramento Valley located in Yolo and Sacramento counties, California. The study area includes lands along the Sacramento River and the Yolo Bypass, from upstream of the Sacramento Weir on the north to just south of Freeport. The study focuses on the city of West Sacramento. The most notable recent flood, in February of 1986, would have been catastrophic if the city had not implemented emergency sandbagging on the east levee of the Yolo Bypass. Under the selected plan, primary flood control measures would consist of raising 5.7 miles of existing levee to the north and west of West Sacramento. Approximately 4.7 miles of levee would be raised along the east side of the Yolo Bypass and 1.0 mile along the south side of the Sacramento Bypass. The maximum increase in the height of the levees would be 5.5 feet. This would extend the ""footprint'' of the levees from 4.4 feet (minimum) to 23.8 feet (maximum). Levee raising would be landward for levees on the south side of the Sacramento Bypass and for those on the Yolo Bypass from the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) south to the Sacramento Ship Channel. Levee raising would be waterward for the Yolo Bypass east levee between the Sacramento Bypass and the SPRR crossing. The new crown of the levees would be a minimum of 20 feet wide, and would be surfaced with compacted aggregate to function as a maintenance road. A floodgate would be installed at the railroad crossing, and the concrete walls of this structure would abut the levee. A total of 825,000 cubic yards of borrow material would be removed for project implementation. Approximately 265,000 cubic yards would be removed within the Sacramento Bypass along its south side toward the Sacramento Weir, and 560,000 cubic yards between the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel and the Yolo Bypass east levee. Recreational facilities, such as hiking and biking trails, would be included in the project design. Mitigation measures would consist of acquiring at least 52.5 acres of land, mostly wetlands, for designation as a wildlife area. One hundred fifty acres of upland grassland habitat would be reseeded. The first cost of the project, which is expected to be completed in 1998, is estimated at $17.4 million. Total annual costs are estimated at $1.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide the city of West Sacramento with protection against the 400-year flood; the city currently is only protected against floods up to the 70-year flow. Threats to life, health, and property due to flooding would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan would result in the permanent destruction of 29.1 acres of upland habitat, including grassy levee slopes that would be covered with riprap. In addition, 11.9 acres of wetland, located at the toe of the levees and in the permanent right-of-way, would be destroyed. A total of 3,409 acres of agricultural/vacant lands doubling as wildlife habitat would be converted to urban uses over the life of the project due to flood protection provided to these lands.

AN - 72958694; 1586205 AB - Toxicity and histopathological effects of tributyltin chloride (TBT) were studied in early life stages of minnows Phoxinus phoxinus. Eggs and yolk sac fry (newly hatched larvae) were exposed in a static-renewal procedure to aqueous TBT concentrations ranging from 0.82 to 19.51 micrograms/L for 3 to 10 days at 16 degrees C and 21 degrees C, respectively. Aqueous TBT concentrations were determined by capillary GC-FPD and revealed a concentration decrease during the static phase. TBT exposure led to mortality, behavioral, gross morphological and histopathological effects. In larvae, increased mortality, deformation of body axis, paralysis and opaque eyes occurred at 4.26 micrograms/L TBT and higher both in the embryonic-larval and larval exposure. Histological changes were evident at initial TBT concentrations of 0.82 up to 19.51 micrograms/L, and were more pronounced after embryonic-larval exposure than after larval exposure. Degenerative alterations occurred in skin, skeletal muscle, kidney, corneal epithelium, lens, pigment layer of the retina and choroid, retina, and CNS including spinal cord. Hydropic vacuolation of the cytoplasm and, in more pronounced cases, irreversible nuclear alterations such as pycnosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis were also evident. Exposure to 0.82 micrograms/L TBT resulted in alterations in skin, muscle and kidney, with greater effects occurring at 21 degrees C than at 16 degrees C. Toxicity was significantly reduced in the presence of sediment. The observed histopathological effects suggest that early life stages of fish may be negatively affected in environments that are considerably polluted by TBT.

AN - 36404265; 3610 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a freeway along State Route (SR) 73 from the Interstate 5 (I-5) freeway in the city of San Juan Capistrano to SR 73's existing terminus at Jamboree Road in Orange County, California, is proposed. Portions of the project would be located within the cities of Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, and San Juan Capistrano, and unincorporated areas of Orange County. The length of the preferred alternative corridor is 17.5 miles, involving 14.5 miles of new location construction, 2.3 miles of widening on I-5, and 0.7 miles of improvements on SR 73 between Jamboree Road and Birch Street. Under the preferred alternative, the proposed project would include three general-purpose lanes in each direction, with auxiliary lanes for weaving and steep grades, as well as an 88- to 116-foot median for additional capacity as warranted. The project would also include the construction of high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes in the median as early as feasible but no later than 2010. The project would contain ten general-purpose interchanges and seven exclusive HOV lanes. Connections to arterials between Birch Street and Jamboree Road in Newport Beach would be modified, with new on- and off-ramps provided. In addition, two access ramps would be provided for westbound traffic to SR 73. The grading for the corridor would be extensive because of the topographical and geological character of the terrain. The freeway would operate as a toll facility until bonds were repaid, a process estimated to take 30 years. The proposed system for toll collection is a closed-barrier system involving a mainline-barrier toll plaza near the center of the facility and 12 ramp toll plazas. Additional facilities would include a maintenance facility, detention basins, signs, retaining walls, noise walls, and lighting. The estimated total project cost is $702.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Improvement of transportation facilities within the San Juan Hills Corridor as planned would constitute a central component of a 14-year cooperative planning process incorporating regional land use, transportation, and open space planning concerns. Existing traffic congestion within Orange County, which places pressure on arterial highways located near or parallel to congested interstate freeways, would be lessened significantly. Through traffic would be removed from parallel arterial highways. Access to the University of California at Irvine, John Wayne Airport, and various recreational areas in Orange County would be improved. Air quality within the corridor would improve over existing levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 907 acres of rights-of-way would result in encroachment on 15.3 acres of floodplain, the displacement of 15.1 acres of wetlands and 0.5 acres of nonwetland waters, the loss of coastal sage scrub and chaparral habitat, the restriction of wildlife movements, the relocation of 5 businesses, and the partial loss of 12 business and 9 residential properties. A portion of the Rancho Viejo bicycle trail would be removed, and a sensitive plant species would be affected. Highway structures would result in visual impacts to residential users in several communities.

HEC's basic systems analysis method has been the simulation of watershed and river basin processes. Several other systems analysis activities are an outgrowth of that basic simulation capability: automated parameter estimation algorithms, synthetic streamflow generation, network analysis, branch-and-bound search techniques, numerical methods, risk and uncertainty analysis, and expert systems. Systems analysis at the HEC has been an approach to problem solving as mush as the actual technical methods. This philosophy of problem solving can be likened to a local hardware store's approach to do-it-yourself home repair. The hardware tools, supplies, and advice to solve the problem. Examples of these systems analysis techniques and their application to hydrologic engineering problem solving, are presented in this paper. JF - Technical Papers.

The growth kinetic models could describe the observed organic carbon and ammonia removals individually, but as currently formulated they are not capable of describing the simultaneous removal of multiple substrates. Moreover, these models assume that substrate removal is not oxygen limited, an assumption that renders them of little use for prediction of substrate removal under high loading conditions where oxygen deficiency may occur. Such conditions occurred in the first stages of the bench-scale RBC units as has been observed at full-scale in various wastewater treatment applications. To examine the effect of oxygen transfer on the simultaneous removal of organic carbon and ammonia, a combined growth kinetic and mass transport model, RBC Sector, was developed. RBC Sector described successfully the observed substrate removal rates and was useful in identifying the tank dissolved oxygen concentration (1.8 mg/L) at which RBC performance started to decline as a result of oxygen limitation. Because RBC Sector can predict the simultaneous removal of multiple substrates under oxygen-limiting conditions, it is potentially useful as a scale-up tool. Investigation of a key scale-up issue, namely the radial variation of biomass thickness and density, would improve the utility of the model for scale-up.

The research focused on the poor water quality (e.g., low dissolved oxygen and increased concentrations of reduced substances, such as iron, manganese, and sulfide) associated with deep, anoxic releases from hydropower and non-hydropower dams. In some cases, the analyses confirmed kinetic models that describe the change in constituent concentration with time, and resulted in relationships to estimate kinetic rate coefficients. Results were used to develop a model of tailwater quality, and the model was validated with data from the field studies. A description of the model and a model user guide are included.

AN - 36394829; 3515 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new bridge crossing the American River in the city of Folsom, California, is proposed. The proposed project would relieve traffic congestion on the Rainbow Bridge, a two-lane bridge over the American River designed to carry traffic from Folsom and surrounding areas to US Highway 50 and Sacramento. The bridge is currently operating at its design capacity. Folsom is located approximately 25 miles east of Sacramento and 25 miles west of Placerville in the eastern portion of Sacramento County. The project area extends from Lake Natoma on the west to Folsom Dam on the northeast. In addition to the No Action Alternative, four build alternatives are under consideration; each would involve the construction of a bridge with four to six lanes and improvements to access roads and nearby intersections. Alternative 1 would extend across Lake Natoma from Folsom Boulevard near its intersection with Leidesdorff Street to the Folsom-Auburn Road/Greenback Lake intersection. Alternative 2 would extend across the American River from the northern extension of Oak Avenue Parkway to East Natoma Street at Fargo Way. Alternative 3 would cross the American River immediately upstream from the existing Rainbow Bridge, and would include a connector to the Oak Avenue Parkway extension. Under this proposal, the new bridge would serve both directions of traffic while the Rainbow Bridge would serve southwest-bound traffic. Alternative 4 would cross the American River just below Folsom Dam, with access from Folsom-Auburn Road. Estimated project costs range from $32.3 million to $57.9 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: All proposed build alternatives would relieve traffic congestion on the bridge approach roadways and near intersections in the vicinity of the existing bridge, improve traffic circulation through Folsom, and stimulate local businesses. Because of the potential for utility conduits to be added to the proposed bridge structure, there would be a decreased need for additional utility corridors across the American River. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace up to 6 residential parcels, 2 commercial properties, 15 acres of mixed forest, 1.7 acres of riparian woodland, 3.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, and 7.4 acres of oak savanna. Alternatives 2 and 3 would decrease the size of the Folsom State Prison security buffer zone. Alternative 4 would result in the loss of a great blue heron rookery. Alternative 1 would result in the loss of a portion of state park and would disrupt bicycling and other recreational activities. All alternatives could potentially disturb the habitat of the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, a threatened species. Construction activity at all sites would result in significant increases in dust particle emissions and internal combustion engine emissions, violating state ambient carbon monoxide standards at 18 to 21 receptors.

Preparation date: April 21, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 117 CORRIDOR STUDY AND EIS, GOLDSBORO TO WILSON, WAYNE AND WILSON COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36410394; 3514 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of US 117 between US 70 in Goldsboro and US 301 in Wilson, North Carolina, is proposed. The study area, which is approximately 21 miles in length and up to three miles in width, includes a northern portion of the city of Goldsboro and the towns of Belfast, Pikeville, and Fremont, all in Wayne County, plus the town of Black Creek and a southwestern portion of the city of Wilson, in Wilson County. Improvements to US 117 have been planned for over 25 years by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the Wayne-Wilson US Highway 117 Association, Inc., a community association, has funded studies of improvements since 1985. The improvements are currently scheduled under the North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program for implementation by the end of fiscal year 1996. Four alternatives, including the No-Build Alternative, are proposed. The first build alternative would involve widening US 117 from Goldsboro to south of Pikeville and from the north part of Fremont to the highway's intersection with US 301 in Wilson. The existing two-lane facility would be widened to a four-lane undivided arterial with left-turn lanes where needed at intersections, and a divided expressway bypassing Pikeville and Fremont, with intersections, would also be constructed. The second and third build alternatives would involve construction of a freeway with interchanges on a new alignment, which would run from a point 0.5 miles southwest of Pikeville northward approximately 13.25 miles and intercept US 301 approximately one mile west of US 117; this alignment would cross State Route 1002 and State Highway 222 approximately one mile west of US 117 in Pikeville and Fremont, respectively, and cross the Wayne/Wilson County line approximately 0.5 miles west of US 117. Under the second build alternative, additional construction from Goldsboro to Pikeville would involve a 6.5-mile section that would start one mile south of US 70, include a new interchange 2,000 feet west of the existing Grantham Street interchange, and run north to the west of State Route 1300 (Salem Church Road). Under the third build alternative, additional construction from Goldsboro to Pikeville would involve widening 2,000 feet of US 117 at its southern end to a five-lane arterial; thereafter, the highway would curve to the west and change to 1,800 feet of expressway along the west side of the CSX railroad before meeting the second build alternative near State Route 1321. The second and third build alternatives would be connected to US 301 at a point located 3,000 feet south of the proposed US 264 bypass. The first build alternative would involve 20.03 miles of roadway, require acquisition of 416 acres for rights-of-way at a cost of $11.4 million, and cost $35.25 million to construct. The second build alternative would involve 21.93 miles of roadway with six interchanges, require acquisition of 943 acres for rights-of-way at a cost of $10.5 million, and cost $64.9 million to construct. The third build alternative would involve 20.2 miles of roadway with four interchanges, require acquisition of 853 acres for rights-of-way at a cost of $14.5 million, and cost $55 million to construct. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The existing roadway is inadequate to carry current and forecast traffic volumes. It is unsafe in its present condition and accident records show many hazardous locations. Accident rates on the roadway exceed statewide statistics for rural roads. The proposed improvements would ameliorate these conditions. In addition, local business owners have indicated that improvements to US 117 would positively impact their operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition under the build alternatives would require relocation of 46 to 54 residences and 3 to 8 businesses, and would displace 228 to 563 acres of farmland, 119 to 370 acres of natural systems, and 38 to 93 acres of wetlands. The first build alternative would also impact a historic property, an archaeological site, and 20 underground gas/oil tanks. Noise from the improved highway would seriously impact 5 to 49 residences and community facilities, and noise abatement barriers would not prove cost-effective under current guidelines.

Preparation date: April 20, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, LAKE GREESON/LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER, ARKANSAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1978). AN - 36412592; 3543 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to improve water quality and enhance fisheries associated with Lake Greeson, located in Arkansas, and the Little Missouri River immediately below the lake is proposed. This document supplements the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of January 1978 on operation and maintenance of Lake Greeson, Lake Ouachita, and Degray Lake. The current plan for water quality and fisheries improvements would involve placement of steel plates to an elevation of 519 feet on the trash racks in front of two of the hydroelectric turbines in Narrows Dam. Although the water level at Lake Greeson has never dropped below this elevation, the trash racks are designed to be removed should this ever occur to allow for required hydropower generation. In addition, three lowhead weirs would be constructed and boulders randomly placed in the Little Missouri River below Narrows Dam. The weirs would be placed at river miles 103.9, 100.4, and 99.0. Approximately 450 to 650 tons of rock would be required for each weir. Hydropower water would be drawn from higher lake levels to prevent oxygen deficiency during periods of high rainfall. Other management techniques proposed by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission related to this project would include corrective stockings of native fish in the renovated river, a reduced harvest of selected stocked fish (i.e., bass) to improve catch, and improved access to the river, including bank fishing, additional boat ramps, and barrier-free fishing areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would result in significant improvements to downstream water quality and the environment of native and stocked fish in the Little Missouri River. Facilities to be installed would provide warmer, more oxygenated water releases downstream during hydropower operation. Lowhead weirs would sustain some minimum water flow between releases, and random placement of small boulders in the river would provide aeration and increase fish habitat. The project would also improve the fishery in Lake Greeson by reducing the potential for oxygen-deficient fish kills. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic losses could result from operating turbine 3 at current capacity, due to overheating. A minimal amount of river bed excavation (80 to 140 cubic yards) would be required due to the presence of bedrock at weir sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1944, as amended (P.L. 78-534).

Preparation date: April 17, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WEST CHARLOTTE OUTER LOOP, FROM I-77 SOUTH NEAR WESTINGHOUSE BOULEVARD TO NC 27, MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FEDERAL AID PROJECT NO. F-117-1(5); STATE PROJECT NO. 8.U672204). AN - 36408005; 3511 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the West Charlotte Outer Loop in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and in a small portion of the city of Charlotte is proposed. The approximately 13-mile corridor would extend between NC 27 (Mount Holly Road) on the north and Interstate 77 (I-77) on the south. The project would be located in a largely rural portion of Mecklenburg County between the Catawba River and Charlotte /Douglas International Airport. The southern project terminus would be at the interchange planned for the South Charlotte Outer Loop, between the existing Arrowood Road and Westinghouse Boulevard interchanges. The northern terminus would be on NC 27 at a location to be determined, but generally between the Catawba River and Little Rock Road. The project would provide a four-lane freeway through the length of the study area. The draft environmental impact statement (EIS) presented three build alternatives for consideration; the Middle Corridor proposal has been selected from among those alternatives as the preferred alternative. The proposed freeway would have eight interchanges, and the alignment would generally follow the conceptual location shown in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Thoroughfare Plan, except for a shift to the west south of Byrum Drive, which is necessary in order to reduce impact on structures within the Shopton Rural Historic District. The proposal includes three associated improvements to roadways approaching the Outer Loop: construction of an Arrowood Road extension from the Outer Loop to Sandy Porter Road; extension of Paul Brown Boulevard from Dixie Road to the Outer Loop; and construction of relocated Moores Chapel Road from a point north of Wildlife Road to Kendall Drive. The estimated construction costs are $128.9 million, and the estimated right-of-way costs are $52.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Freeway availability would increase safety within the area by redirecting traffic from more congested and hazardous existing highways to the loop. Traffic levels within the city of Charlotte would be reduced, and travel time, fuel consumption, and vehicle operating costs would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition and development would result in the displacement of 115 residences and 3 businesses, 5 acres of wetlands, 32 acres of floodplains, 109 acres of prime farmlands, 534 acres of woodland habitat, and 115 acres of developed land. A portion of a privately owned golf course would be displaced. Noise levels would increase substantially; in some cases, standards would be violated in the vicinity of six receptors.

AN - 36406139; 3513 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of an interchange and frontage roads on State Route 17 at Lexington Reservoir, located south of Los Gatos in Santa Clara County, California, is proposed. The interchange and frontage roads would be constructed at or in the vicinity of one or two of the following existing roadways: Alma Bridge Road/Montevina Road, Black Road, Bear Creek Road, and Old Santa Cruz Highway. Seven build alternatives and the No Action Alternative are under consideration. None of the build alternatives would widen or increase the capacity of Route 17 itself. All of the build alternatives are intended to provide improved access between Route 17 and (1) the local side roads and (2) the Alma Fire Station, eliminating the need to make left turns across two lanes of traffic. All would include placement of a concrete barrier in the median of Route 17 for safety purposes. Under the first alternative, the California Department of Transportation would construct an interchange at Bear Creek Road; a second set of northbound Route 17 ramps at Alma Bridge Road; an auxiliary lane to northbound Route 17 between the interchange at Bear Creek Road and Alma Bridge Road; a two-way frontage road on the east side of the interchange overcrossing to connect with Old Santa Cruz Highway and the fire station; and a two-way frontage road on the west side of the overcrossing to connect with Bear Creek, Black, and Montevina roads. Under the second alternative, the interchange would be constructed at Black Road, with two-way frontage roads on either side to connect the local roads and the fire station. Four alternatives involve construction of diamond or loop interchanges near the fire station; they differ in the placement of the frontage roads, connections to Old Santa Cruz Highway, overcrossings, and other facilities. The seventh alternative involves the construction of two diamond interchanges, one at Old Santa Cruz Highway and the other at Alma Bridge Road /Montevina Road; the construction of undercrossings rather than overcrossings at the interchanges; and the construction of a two-way frontage road along the west side of Route 17 between Bear Creek, Black, and Montevina roads. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any of the build alternatives, in eliminating difficult and time-consuming left turns from Route 17, would result in improved traffic on Route 17 and safer access to the local roads and the Alma Fire Station. Pedestrian and cyclist crossings of Route 17 would be greatly enhanced by the construction of over- or undercrossings with sidewalks. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The build alternatives would require the placement of some amount of fill below the high-water line of Lexington Reservoir, reducing the reservoir's storage capacity between 17 and 97 acre-feet. There are steep rises and drops on both sides of Route 17, and all construction would involve excavation and placement of embankment fill in areas subject to landslides, rock falls, erosion, and earthquakes. Depending on the alternative selected, 31 to 44 acres of habitat above the high-water line of Lexington Reservoir would be impacted, with a reduction in area, the addition of barriers to wildlife movement, and a reduction of the interface area between plant communities. Acquisition of right-of-way for construction would involve displacement of zero to two residences, including a home-based business, and 0.9 to 7.4 acres of land within Lexington Reservoir County Park, the amount of land needed being dependent upon which alternative was selected.

Preparation date: April 13, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROSPECT STREET BYPASS, EAST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT. AN - 36407142; 3510 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Prospect Street bypass within East Hartford, Connecticut, is proposed. Prospect Street is a two-lane urban street heavily used by commuters; it runs parallel to US 5 within East Hartford and bypasses the business district. Heavy trucks are currently prohibited from using Prospect Street and must travel through the central business district on US 5. Traffic projections indicate that major intersections in the study area will be operating over capacity by the year 2010. The study area begins at the "Mixmaster" exit (exit 55) of Interstate 84 to Governor Street and extends northward approximately two miles to US 5 in the vicinity of Goodwin Brook. The study area is bounded on the west by the Connecticut River and on the east by Main Street/US 5. Alternatives under consideration include the following: a new two-lane bypass of downtown East Hartford that would follow the East Hartford Dike for all or part of its length and would require a new 220-foot-long bridge over the Conrail railroad tracks; a new bypass that would follow an alignment along the eastern perimeter of the wetland area and the Connecticut River floodplain, and would require a 300-foot-long bridge over the railroad; the widening of Prospect Street from two to four lanes and the upgrading of selected intersections; combinations of an upgrade and a bypass; a Transportation System Management (TSM) plan that would improve public transit and parking, make some roadway improvements, and promote ride sharing and high-occupancy-vehicle use; and a No Action Alternative. The estimated costs of widening Prospect Street are $8.1 million; the estimated costs of constructing a new bypass range from $14.9 million to $29.7 million; and the estimated costs of the upgrade-bypass combination range from $7.4 million to $11.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed bypass improvement would reduce peak-hour congestion, minimize travel times and delays, and upgrade three major intersections with inadequate configurations for the volume of traffic they handle. It is estimated that any of the New Bypass alternatives (including the Combination Alternative) would reduce traffic on Prospect Street up to 59 percent and on US 5 between 20 and 45 percent compared with the No Action Alternative. The TSM plan would reduce traffic volume by approximately 5 percent. Bypass improvement would have a generally positive effect on air quality because of anticipated reductions in traffic delays. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 64 percent of the study area consists of regulated wetlands. The New Bypass alternatives would significantly affect these wetlands, with the effects ranging from 8.6 to 18.7 acres of displacement. Some wildlife habitat in wetland areas would be destroyed or temporarily disrupted. Between four and ten acres of farmland soils would be directly converted to nonagricultural uses under the New Bypass and Combination alternatives. Up to 45 dwelling units would be affected by traffic noise, and one structure eligible for the National Register of Historic Places would have to be relocated or demolished under most of the New Bypass alignments. Up to 47 dwelling units and five businesses would be subject to right-of-way acquisition.

AN - 36395193; 3544 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of navigation improvements along the Delaware River from the Beckett Street Terminal in Camden, New Jersey, through Philadelphia Harbor, Pennsylvania, to deep water in the Delaware Bay off Delaware, a distance of approximately 102.5 miles, is proposed. Channel widths currently range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 1,000 feet in the bay. Throughout Philadelphia Harbor, the channel is 40 feet deep on the west side and 37 feet deep on the east side. Widening has been provided for at critical bends. There are 19 anchorages on the Delaware River; all but six are natural deep-water anchorages. The project would include 12 training dikes to reduce shoaling in the channel and anchorages and to minimize dredging and disposal costs. The currently recommended plan would provide for a two-way, full-width channel of variable widths, with a depth of 45 feet below mean low water and an allowable dredging overdepth of two feet. The channel side slopes would be three horizontal to one vertical. Channel dimensions below the Walt Whitman Bridge are based on a 160,000-dead-weight-ton (DWT) tanker with a length of 931 feet, a beam of 145 feet, and an operating draft of 45 feet. The design vessel for Philadelphia Harbor and the Beckett Street Terminal access would be a 100,000-DWT dry bulk vessel with a length of 830 feet and beam of 128 feet. The selected channel dimensions would allow for navigation practices similar to existing conditions that allow full use of the tide range by inbound vessels. The channel width would range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 800 feet from the Philadelphia Navy Yard to Bombay Hook and then to 1,000 feet in Delaware Bay. The plan would include all appropriate bend widening and provide a two-space anchorage of compatible depth at the Marcus Hook anchorage. The project would also include utility relocations at two locations; aids to navigation; and lands, easements, rights-of-way, and disposal areas as necessary for initial construction and maintenance of the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the navigational channels along the Delaware River would allow use by deep-draft vessels with full cargoes. Harbor safety and efficiency would be enhanced through the easing of the movement of goods into and out of markets along the Eastern Seaboard. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic organisms would be destroyed in dredged areas and in areas affected by dredged-material disposal. The removal of approximately 420,000 cubic yards of rock from the river channel would adversely affect the aquatic environment; the use of explosives would be required for rock removal. Deepening of the channel would promote upstream movement of saline water, and the possibility exists that chemical contaminants within river sediments could enter underlying aquifers.

Preparation date: April 6, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GTC GAVIOTA MARINE TERMINAL PROJECT, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407894; 3541 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of a permanent marine terminal for tankers transporting to refineries oil produced offshore Santa Barbara, California, is proposed. The proposal would involve converting an existing interim marine terminal at Gaviota, located 30 miles west of the city of Santa Barbara, into a permanent, consolidated facility serving all offshore producers in the area and supporting the two major oil and gas processing facilities in the area: the Chevron Gaviota-PAPCO plant and the Exxon Las Flores Canyon plant. The terminal is operated by the Gaviota Terminal Company (GTC), a partnership consisting of subsidiaries of Texaco, Exxon, Chevron, Sun, and Phillips Petroleum. Construction of the interim terminal was completed in August 1988; storage and pipeline shipment operations commenced in June 1991, but no commercial-scale tankering operations have yet occurred. The proposal would increase the terminal's permitted throughput from 100,000 barrels per day (BPD) to 125,000 BPD. Such an increase in throughput would increase the frequency of tanker visits from the current permitted level of 156 per year to 196 per year. Only one type of tanker, the Chevron Oregon class of vessels, is expected to use the terminal. This type of tanker is equipped with a double hull and a double bottom, which offer significant protection against the risk of major oil spills. A tanker's visit to the terminal would last approximately 18 hours, from its approach to one of six mooring locations to its departure. Conversion of the facility would require laying a 1,900-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter feeder pipeline that would connect the terminal to the coastal segment of the All American Pipeline already in place, enabling the terminal to serve the Las Flores Canyon processing facility. The on-site pipe would be placed within the same 100-foot-wide corridor that was used for laying an existing feeder pipeline for use by the interim terminal. This draft environmental impact statement supplements a final environmental impact report of February 1985 and an August 1985 supplement to that report, which authorized construction of the interim terminal. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed consolidated terminal would accommodate the increased oil production activity in the Santa Barbara Channel, and provide a single method of conveying the oil to onshore processing and transportation facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Tanker operations would result in increased nitrogen dioxide and particulate emissions as well as other toxic contaminants in amounts that would exceed air quality standards and could not be completely mitigated. Income losses to commercial fishing operations from existing and future offshore oil-related facilities would range from $171,436 to $606,361. Ballast discharges, deck and bilge discharges, increased vessel traffic, and accidental oil spills would affect water quality, intertidal organisms, and marine birds. An oil spill larger than 100,000 barrels, which is estimated to have a 2 percent probability of occurring throughout the 25-year operating life of the proposed project, would have a devastating effect on these resources and on recreational uses of beach and coastal areas. Mooring operations close to shore would significantly alter the visual character of the Gaviota coastline. Construction of the feeder pipeline would disturb approximately 4.4 acres of vegetation. The Gaviota tarplant, an endangered species, is found within the project area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

Preparation date: April 3, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE ROUTE 87 UPGRADING PROJECT, SAGUARO LAKE ROAD TO GILA COUNTY LINE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36406110; 3508 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of State Route 87 (SR 87), known as Beeline Highway, in northeastern Maricopa County, Arizona, is proposed. SR 87 serves as the connecting link between the Phoenix metropolitan area, the town of Payson, and recreation areas to the north along the Mogollan Rim. The portion of the highway under consideration is located within the administrative boundaries of the Tonto National Forest. The proposed improvement would involve upgrading approximately 25 miles of the highway from two lanes to four lanes, beginning near milepost 201, north of the Saguaro Lake turnoff, and ending approximately at milepost 226 near the Maricopa-Gila County line. The preferred alternative would involve using the existing highway for one-way traffic and constructing a new roadway within 125 feet of and parallel to it in five of the six highway segments under consideration (segments A to F). Upgrading the existing highway in segment F, along Sycamore Creek from milepost 218 to milepost 223, was rejected because of high construction costs, impacts to riparian areas, disruption to traffic during construction, floodplain impacts, and difficulties in bringing certain sections of this alignment up to design standards. Instead of using the existing highway in this segment, alternative alignments east and west of the highway were considered. The preferred alignment would run to the east of the existing highway along Kitty Joe Canyon and cross the Gila County line south of Iron Dike. This alignment would require the construction of five new bridges. In addition to the No Action Alternative, several other alternatives were given detailed consideration; some would employ alternative alignments within one or more of the six segments. The estimated construction cost of the preferred alternative is $114.7 million. Segments A to E would require 100 acres of right-of-way land while segment F would require 335 acres. The work would be phased over four years, with the segment F portion completed last. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed upgrading of SR 87 would improve safety and traffic flow on this heavily traveled highway, which currently has an accident rate 46 percent higher than that of comparable highways in the U.S. Projections indicate that traffic volume on SR 87 is expected to double by the year 2013. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of additional lanes in segments A to E would result in a loss of 41 acres of desert scrub vegetation and desert tortoise habitat. Losses would be greater within segment F, where construction activity would displace 168 acres of chaparral, 22 acres of semidesert grassland, 9 acres of cypress woodland, 1 acre of pinyon-juniper, and less than 1 acre of mixed broadleaf riparian forest. The segment F alignment would also displace one dwelling unit, one cattle tank, and a portion of a water pipeline. Although mitigation would improve visual conditions in some locations, the project as a whole would result in some negative visual impacts as a result of the extreme cuts and fills proposed for the upgrading project. The entire new roadway would cross 160 drainages. It is estimated that construction would destroy 35 to 45 archaeological sites within the Tonto National Forest.

AN - 36409421; 3465 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a third runway, a taxiway, parking and service aprons, a terminal, and support facilities at the Salt Lake City International Airport by the Salt Lake City Airport Authority (SLCAA) is proposed. The airport is located five miles west of Salt Lake City, lying west of the Wasatch Mountains, southeast of the Great Salt Lake, and northeast of the Oquirrh Mountains. The proposed new runway and associated improvements have been the subject of two major planning efforts undertaken by the SLCAA over the past 12 years. Three alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would include construction of a 12,000-foot transport category runway and access taxiways parallel to and about 6,155 feet west of existing main runway 16R/34L. The runway and associated facilities would involve construction on up to 1,284 acres of land, with long-term modifications such as drains and paving. A close-in alternative would be similar to the preferred alternative except that the distance between the new runway and the existing runway would be 5,800 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Airfield capacity would be expanded significantly to meet expected demand for services. The preferred alternative would allow simultaneous independent approaches from either direction and would permit Category III instrument landing approaches on at least one runway at all times. Direct access between the runways and terminals without delays associated with crossing an active runway would be provided. During the first ten years of operation, the runway would reduce delays by approximately 30,000 hours per year at a savings of over $31 million per year in operating costs. After that period, the new runway would reduce delays by over 61,000 hours per year at a savings of $61 million per year. Expansion of the airport's capacity would benefit the local economy through increased airport and construction-related employment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed runway would eliminate about 1,608 acres of agricultural land currently used for grazing, and about 900 acres of cropland. Relocation of a transmission line would impact nearby duck clubs. Some residences and property would need to be acquired because of easement requirements and noise impacts. Surface and groundwater quality would be impacted. Approximately 275 acres of wetlands would be directly affected by the project, with indirect losses of 63 acres due to construction activity, relocation of transmission lines, and increased human activity in the area. Waterfowl, bald eagle, and peregrine falcon populations would be severely disturbed in some areas, and the potential for bird-aircraft strikes would be increased. LEGAL MANDATES: Airport and Airway Improvements Act of 1982, as amended (P.L. 97-248), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: April 1, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LACKAWANNA RIVER BASIN, PENNSYLVANIA, LOCAL FLOOD PROTECTION. AN - 36409230; 3537 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control plan for the Lackawanna River basin within the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, is proposed. Major floods occurred in the basin in 1942, 1955, and 1985, the latter flood being caused by Hurricane Gloria. While the damage from these floods was widespread throughout the river basin, the largest and most concentrated damages occurred in portions of Scranton and the borough of Olyphant. The reach of the Lackawanna River where the project would be constructed within Scranton is highly developed. The area is approximately 7.8 miles long and decreases approximately 100 feet in elevation from 770 to 670 feet above mean sea level. Leggetts Creek, draining 18.5 square miles, is the only significant tributary in the study area. Under the preferred flood control plan, approximately 5,750 feet of earthen levee and 1,660 feet of floodwall would be constructed along the right (west) bank of the Lackawanna River in Scranton, extending from Wood Street to approximately 200 feet downstream from the North Scranton Expressway. The levee section would be ten feet wide at the top with 2.5-horizontal-to-1-vertical side slopes. Where space permitted, the floodwalls would be conventional inverted T-type reinforced concrete structures. Where there was not sufficient space, the floodwalls would be concrete gravity structures. Appurtenant features, such as access ramps, closures, and interior drainage facilities, would also be included. The project would include removal of the Pocono Northeast Railroad Bridge and approach embankments; the bridge is a single-span truss structure built in 1885 and carrying one track to a dead-end spur across the river. Flood warning improvements would also be included. The estimated costs of plan implementation are approximately $19.5 million, and the estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.16. Similar flood control measures for the borough of Olyphant are discussed in a separately issued final environmental impact statement (EIS) dated March 1992. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would eliminate approximately 82 percent of the average annual flood damage that occurs in the Park Place area of Scranton. The proposed flood and forecast warning system would reduce induced flood damages and help with damage reduction in other areas as well. Annual net benefits would be an estimated $247,000. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee and floodwall construction would change riverfront topography, displace riverfront lands, and alter river hydrology. The value of damages from average annual induced flooding caused by the project would be $119,000 for commercial structures and $33,000 for residential structures. The railroad bridge scheduled for removal is a candidate for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: March 27, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE ROUTES 9 AND 530, STILLAGUAMISH RIVER BRIDGES 9/132 AND 530/120 REPLACEMENT PROJECT, CITY OF ARLINGTON, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON. AN - 36409188; 3507 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction of approximately three miles of roadway on State Route 9 (SR 9) and State Route 530 (SR 530) within and near the city of Arlington, Washington, is proposed. The purpose of the proposed action would be to (1) replace Stillaguamish River bridges 9/132 and 530/120, which are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete; (2) improve traffic operations and carrying capacity to meet the traffic volume demand in the year 2015; (3) improve the safety of the SR 9 and SR 530 corridors through and near Arlington; and (4) allow for community development within Arlington and unincorporated Snohomish County. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three build alternatives are under consideration. All three alternatives would replace the two bridges and realign SR 9 so that it would go north from its existing westerly intersection with SR 530, cross the Stillaguamish River, and reconnect with the existing SR 9 alignment just north of Schloman Road. Under the Burke Avenue Alternative, SR 530 would be realigned from the curve west of Arlington so that it would go easterly through the city along Burke Avenue. The alignment would cross the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River just west of and adjacent to the existing SR 530 bridge. It would match the existing alignment just to the north of the existing bridge, and improvements would continue north to the SR 530/Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under the Northern Bypass Alternative, SR 530 would connect with the new SR 9 alignment at Division Street and cross the Stillaguamish River on the new SR 9 bridge. On the north side of the river, SR 530 would leave the SR 9 alignment and proceed east across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River on a new bridge, joining the existing SR 530 alignment in the vicinity of the Arlington Heights Road intersection. Under this alternative, the SR 530 bridge would be replaced with a pedestrian bridge for access to Twin Rivers County Park. Under the Bypass/Throughpass Alternative, a segment of SR 530 would be constructed on an alignment similar to that in the Bypass Alternative. The existing section of SR 530, from its intersection with SR 9 to its intersection with Arlington Heights Road, would be rechannelized and signalized where necessary to improve traffic through the city. Estimated construction costs would range from $34 million to $49 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide roadway improvements that are needed to keep pace with traffic volume, which has increased approximately 5.5 percent annually since 1975, and would reduce the number of accidents on the two bridges and roadways. Construction activities would generate an estimated 913 to 1,353 new jobs, and wages and salaries ranging from $27 million to $41 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly the entire project area would be located within the Stillaguamish River floodplain, which would be affected by new earthfill bridge approaches, concrete bridge piers, and increased storm-water runoff. Depending on the alternative selected, construction would require the displacement of 17 to 21 acres of prime farmland and the demolition of 11 to 23 structures, most of them single-family residences. Two of the build alternatives would require the acquisition of some lands from Twin Rivers County Park, and would limit access to the park.

Preparation date: March 27, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOS ANGELES COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA REVIEW, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407976; 3539 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for flood control is proposed for the Los Angeles County Drainage Area (LACDA) of California. The LACDA mainstem system encompasses the drainage basins of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers, the Rio Hondo, and the Tujunga Wash. The ability of LACDA flood control measures to provide a high level of protection has diminished in the past 40 years. Under the preferred alternative, available flood protection in the lower Los Angeles Basin would be modified; the modifications would involve the Rio Hondo from Whittier Narrows Dam to the Los Angeles River and the corridor continuing down the Los Angeles River to the Pacific Ocean. The modifications would include the following: (1) raising the effective channel height by building parapet walls on 21 miles of existing levees; (2) raising or modifying 27 bridges to accommodate the parapet walls; (3) widening 1.5 miles of channel, which would also be converted to a rectangular cross section below the confluence with the Rio Hondo; (4) armoring the land side of the levees in four locations; and (5) applying a concrete overlay in reaches with an existing rough-grouted stone channel surface. The parapet walls would be constructed along the existing channels of the lower Rio Hondo, the Los Angeles River, and Compton Creek. Modification of channel walls could be made to convey the 133-year frequency flow for the lower reach of the Los Angeles River without requiring that the Artesia/Long Beach Freeway overcrossing be raised. The first cost of the project would be an estimated $389.6 million, and the annualized cost would be an estimated $46.3 million. The benefit-cost ratio would be 1.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing flood flows in lands abutting the affected rivers, the project would lessen the potential for human suffering and possible loss of life due to catastrophic failure of the flood control system. Protection would be provided against flows from 100- to 133-year frequency events. Net annual benefits would be an estimated $12.3 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Aesthetic values in the vicinity of some wetland areas would be degraded. Bridge raising could take as long as 2.5 years per bridge; construction activities would disrupt normal traffic flows and generate a significant amount of noise. Four of the bridges along the Rio Hondo channel are under consideration for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Biking and hiking trails along the affected rivers could be disrupted temporarily during construction, and other land uses would also be disturbed during construction.

AN - 36403382; 3536 AB - PURPOSE: Reoperation of the Folsom Dam and Reservoir to provide increased flood protection to portions of Sacramento, California, is proposed. In February 1986 many areas in the northern and central portions of California experienced floods of record. The area's flood control system, consisting of leveed river channels, weirs and bypass channels, and large reservoirs, was stressed to its capacity. Afterwards, the Corps of Engineers was asked to update the hydrology of the American River basin. Reoperation of the Folsom Dam is one method of providing some short-term protection until the year 2002, when more permanent flood control measures can be implemented. The Folsom Dam, part of the Central Valley Project (CVP), is located in Sacramento County on the American River, approximately 26 miles upstream from its confluence with the Sacramento River. Two alternatives are under consideration: an Action Alternative and a No Action Alternative. Under the latter approach, the reservoir would continue to seasonally evacuate stored water to provide a maximum of 400,000 acre-feet (af) of flood control storage space. Between October and mid-November each year, the reservoir is drawn down to an elevation of 427 feet mean sea level in order to provide the mandated storage space, which is maintained through February 8 of the following year. Depending on hydrological conditions, a gradual refilling of the reservoir begins until it achieves the maximum water surface level attainable by the beginning of June for that year's runoff conditions. Under the Action Alternative, the reservoir would operate exactly the same as under the No Action Alternative except that its maximum flood storage space would be increased to 590,000 af and other reservoirs within the water system would be adjusted accordingly. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reoperation of Folsom would provide 100-year flood protection to portions of Sacramento until permanent flood control solutions, now under study, can be implemented. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 23,000 af of water supply would be lost during each year of operation under the Action Alternative, resulting in a revenue loss to CVP of approximately $828,000 annually. Lost revenues from hydropower operations at the dam would be an estimated $7 million for ten years of operation as a result of system losses and power required for operating CVP pumping facilities. Associated changes in water levels, flows, and temperatures would adversely affect salmon and steelhead fisheries in the American River and Lower Sacramento River basins. Recreational use of the reservoir would decrease, resulting in an annual revenue loss of about $1 million.

Preparation date: March 20, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL ON PERRY CREEK, SIOUX CITY, IOWA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT I TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1981). AN - 36394925; 3535 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment of a flood control project plan for Perry Creek in Sioux City, Iowa, is proposed. The major elements of this plan were described in a final environmental impact statement (EIS) of August 1981. Since authorization, however, it has been determined that an existing conduit under Wesley Way has been deteriorating rapidly because of the use of deicing salts and the poor surface drainage of the roadbed on top of the conduit. It was also determined that the authorized parallel conduit under Water Street did not account for uneven flows or waters that backed up from curves in the conduit system. Furthermore, the Iowa state historic preservation officer recommended a reevaluation of the effects on architectural and other cultural resources. This supplement to the final EIS addresses these concerns. The preferred alternative would involve the extension of the Perry Creek channel farther downstream and the construction of a larger conduit along an alignment very close to the existing conduit alignment. Specific elements of the proposal would include (1) extending the 16,000-cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) channel approximately 2,000 feet downstream from the existing conduit entrance to Fifth Street; (2) decreasing the channel's rock lining from 13 feet to only 8 feet above the channel bottom; (3) constructing approximately 1,500 feet of new underground 16,000-cfs conduit instead of a dual conduit system from Fifth Street to Interstate 29 (I-29); (4) lowering the slab floor in the existing conduit under I-29; (5) constructing a stilling basin at the existing conduit outlet; (6) constructing two new bridges in the area where the channel would be extended 2,000 feet downstream, and a new railroad bridge over I-29; (7) constructing a new flood warning system; and (8) extending the biking and jogging trail along the extended channel. The preferred alternative would reduce the estimated costs of the authorized plan from $65 million to $54 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would reduce the flood threat for approximately 1,440 homes and 390 businesses, and reduce expected annual flood damages from $5.824 million to $642,000. Human health and safety as well as real property would be protected against flooding. Fish and wildlife mitigation measures would include the conversion of 2,000 feet of existing conduit to an open-stream habitat and the planting of trees and shrubs on 13 acres of project lands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposal would require the relocation of 70 homes and 27 commercial structures, as well as the destruction, dismantling, or relocation of two buildings with historical architectural significance. Both structures are potential candidates for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, the proposal would destroy 22 acres of low-quality riparian woodland and degrade 2 miles of low-quality stream habitat.

AN - 36406065; 3533 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of channel alignments in the Hickahala Creek and Senatobia Creek watershed in Tate County, Mississippi, is proposed. The project area is located approximately 30 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. Senatobia Creek flows north from a point northeast of Como, Mississippi, to its point of convergence with Hickahala Creek, just east of the town of Senatobia. Hickahala Creek originates on the western edge of Marshall County, flows west near Senatobia and then northwest, and enters Arkabutla Lake near Coldwater, Mississippi. The headwaters of the lake presently receive considerable silt and sediment runoff from the creeks despite prior channel work performed in the 1960s. Related problems associated with the watershed include the increased depth and frequency of flooding on agricultural and urban lands, loss or temporary closure of transportation routes, loss of bottomland hardwoods habitat as a result of sedimentation and changes in the flooding regime, and reduction of channel conveyance capacity and lake floodwater storage capacity. The preferred alternative would involve 13.9 miles of channel modification to be implemented by use of a dragline. Approximately 9.1 miles of Hickahala Creek would be modified, as would 4.8 miles of Senatobia Creek. The finished channel sections on both creeks would have a 70-foot bottom width with varying side slopes, excavated material bank heights, crown widths, and setback from the channel top bank. The width of the project right-of-way would range from 253 to 334 feet. At project completion, there would be 31 low-drop grade control structures and 237 riser pipe structures; 267,400 linear feet of bank stabilization; and $732,000 in land treatment measures installed in the watershed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel restoration would improve flood protection and erosion control significantly in the project area. Additional benefits would include the revegetation of the construction area and spoil banks with plant species of greater economic and wildlife value than that of existing vegetation, the establishment of more stable stream bottom substrata beneficial to fishery resources, and a reduction of silt and sediment in forested areas of Arkabutla Lake. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in the clearing of 287 acres of bottomland hardwoods habitat and 143 acres of agricultural land within the project right-of-way; in addition, approximately 115 acres of aquatic habitat would be disturbed during construction. The loss of forested habitat would adversely affect resident wildlife species.

Preparation date: March 19, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GULF INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY, SARGENT BEACH, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 36410291; 3531 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a barrier to protect the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) from wave attack by the Gulf of Mexico is proposed in the vicinity of Sargent Beach, Matagorda County, Texas. The Sargent Beach area is located between East Matagorda Bay and Cedar Lakes, approximately 170 miles north of Corpus Christi and 20 miles southwest of Freeport. The area encompasses that section of the GIWW between channel miles 411.0 and 421.5, measured from the Harvey Locks in Louisiana. The GIWW in Texas extends 423 miles along the entire Gulf of Mexico shoreline from the Sabine River to Brownsville. Waterborne commerce data for the 1988 calendar year indicate that more than 16 million tons of commerce were transported past the Sargent Beach area on the GIWW. Barrier islands and peninsulas along most of the Texas section of the GIWW provide protection to waterway traffic from the incessant wave attack of the Gulf of Mexico. Land cuts along major bay systems provide additional protection. In the Sargent Beach area, however, only a narrow strip of land protects the waterway from the gulf. Erosion of this narrow barrier by wave action will have significant impacts on the associated reach of the GIWW by the year 2000 unless remedial action is undertaken. Severing the GIWW at Sargent would isolate approximately 250 miles of the waterway southwest of Sargent from the rest of the system. Under the selected protection plan, a 42,000-foot-long barrier would be placed between the gulf and the GIWW. The barrier, which would extend along the shoreline from the vicinity of Cedar Lakes to Caney Creek and East Matagorda Bay, would consist primarily of a concrete-block revetment; however, 5,400 feet of concrete sheetpile wall would be required in areas with poor foundations. The two-layer block revetment would cover a 24-inch blanket stone base; the structure would also contain core stone toe protection. The concrete blocks would have dimensions of 3 feet by 5.25 feet by 5.25 feet. The structure would be approximately 105 feet wide and have a crown elevation of 7 feet above mean low tide. The estimated investment cost of the project is $86.24 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing protection against wave action to the GIWW, the revetment would provide similar protection to Sargent Beach. The proposed project would protect 152 residential and commercial structures that would otherwise be lost as a result of erosion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Due to the rapid erosion at Sargent Beach and the time necessary to construct the revetment, the structure would have to be located south of the GIWW. As a result, it would be impossible to avoid the loss of 82 acres of wetlands displaced by construction of the revetment and maintenance of rights-of-way.

Preparation date: March 12, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - REALIGNMENT OF THE 5TH INFANTRY DIVISION (MECHANIZED) FROM FORT POLK, LOUISIANA, TO FORT HOOD, TEXAS. AN - 36395245; 3469 AB - PURPOSE: The realignment of the Army's 5th Infantry Mechanized Division (5ID) from Fort Polk, Louisiana, to Fort Hood, Texas, is proposed. Fort Hood, which occupies approximately 217,600 acres in central Texas midway between the Dallas-Fort Worth area and San Antonio, currently has as its primary mission the training, housing, and support of III Corps units assigned to the installation. To implement this action, the Army would transfer approximately 12,300 military authorizations from Fort Polk to Fort Hood and increase civilian authorizations by approximately 500. Under the preferred plan, the relocation would take place primarily during fiscal year (FY) 1993, and the movement of personnel would be programmed to maintain unit integrity and operational readiness. The first units would move late in the summer of 1992. Other units would follow in succeeding months, with most of the division's remaining units arriving in the late spring to early summer of 1993. The realignment of the 5ID would involve a significant relocation of military equipment. A typical mechanized division such as the 5ID is authorized approximately 1,100 tracked vehicles, 2,800 wheeled vehicles, 1,200 trailers, 640 generators, and 50 helicopters to support its operational and training missions. The realignment would require the modernization of 11 barracks, and the construction of command and control facilities, 10 vehicle maintenance complexes, 195 units of new family housing, a cold/dry storage warehouse, a child development center, and a consolidated troop medical facility. Two other alternatives are under consideration: one would relocate the entire 5ID during a 30-to-90-day period; the other would relocate the 5ID in separate unit increments as housing becomes available over a two-year period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Fort Hood is the Army's finest maneuver installation, and realignment of the 5ID to Fort Hood would improve training and operational readiness. The one-year realignment period proposed in the preferred plan would minimize the number of 5ID enlisted personnel that would be housed in nonmodernized barracks at Fort Hood. The one-year period would reduce disruption to military operations, logistical resources, and families. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The population growth associated with the realignment would affect local communities' abilities to provide public safety, housing, education, medical services, family support, and similar services.

Preparation date: March 11, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED INVESTIGATION, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36403261; 3530 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a dam, construction and improvement of levees, and development of associated facilities are proposed to provide flood protection to the American River Watershed in the Sacramento area of California. The American River basin drains approximately 2,100 square miles along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in northern California. The study area for this project includes the lower American River between Folsom Dam and the Sacramento River, the Natomas area of Sacramento, the American River and its tributaries flowing into Folsom Reservoir, and the Sacramento River from the American River upstream to the Fremont Weir. The Yolo Bypass and its immediate tributaries and distributaries are also included in the investigation as areas receiving hydraulic mitigation. Under the selected plan, a peak-flow detention dam of concrete gravity design would be constructed near the city of Auburn with a reservoir storage capacity of 545,000 acre-feet. Impounded water would reach a maximum elevation of 868.5 feet above sea level and cover approximately 4,000 acres. From streambed, at an elevation of 500 feet above sea level, the dam would be 425 feet high and detain floodwaters up to 370 feet deep. The dam would be 2,600 feet long at the crest; its width would be 400 feet at the base and would decrease to 25 feet at the crest. Dam construction would require 4.6 million cubic yards of aggregate material, the bulk of which would be mined from a nearby quarry and transported to the dam site by conveyor. Outlet capacity for the dam would be provided by 12 five-foot by nine-foot rectangular box sluices, with a combined total capacity of 87,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Levee improvements in the Natomas area would also be provided. The 600-foot-long spillway would be located in the center of the dam and have a design capacity of 860,000 cfs. Other project components would include the relocation of 1.8 miles of Highway 49, with a bridge to be built over the North Fork at river mile 23; the improvement of levees along the perimeter of the Natomas Basin and on Dry and Arcade creeks; and the development of trails and day use facilities. The estimated first cost of the project is $698 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide 200-year flood protection to the American River floodplain. Extensive development within the floodplain would be afforded maximum protection against flood flows. Levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in local streams and drainage systems located east of Natomas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace 6,032 acres of land in the Auburn area, including 5,267 acres of federal land and 757 acres of private land, for which rights would be acquired. Intermittent inundation of the detention basin would disturb terrestrial wildlife habitat, and levee and weir improvements in the Natomas area would displace wildlife habitat permanently. Dam operation would also threaten fish inhabiting the reservoir and the lower reaches of the dam.

Preparation date: March 5, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HOBUCKEN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BRIDGE, PAMLICO COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36407788; 3501 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement of the Hobucken Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) bridge in Pamlico County, North Carolina, is proposed. The existing bridge crosses the AIWW at mile 157.2 and is located on North Carolina Highway (NC) 33/304, approximately 32 miles northeast of the city of New Bern. It has an average utilization of 1,200 vehicles per day. The proposed replacement bridge would be a 2,875-foot-long, two-lane, high-level, fixed-span structure with a 65-foot vertical clearance over the AIWW and a 300-foot horizontal navigational clearance. The proposed alignment would leave NC 33 /304 at a point approximately 2,500 feet west of the AIWW, cross the AIWW approximately 170 feet north of the existing bridge, and reconnect with NC 33/304 approximately 2,500 feet east of the AIWW. Fill height at the bridge abutments would be approximately 30 feet on the west side and 30 feet on the east side of the AIWW, with a width of approximately 220 feet. Fill width would taper as the alignment approaches NC 33/304. A total of 28 bridge piers and footings would be constructed on land. Rights-of-way widths would vary from 360 feet at the highest point of the approach fills to 140 feet at the connections with NC 33/304. Additional rights-of-way would be required for two-lane connector roads at each end of the alignment. A borrow site close to the highway would include a borrow pit and an area used for drying material and placing overburden material that is unsuitable for fill. Construction is expected to commence in December 1994, and would take 2.5 years to complete. Construction costs are estimated to be $10.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of the one-lane, traffic-light-controlled bridge would allow the flow of traffic to be continuous and would reduce unsafe stops and starts on the roadway. The existing bridge does not meet current design standards as recommended by the American Association of State Highway Officials because of its narrow width and poor physical condition. The proposed new bridge would offer a safer, more direct route for AIWW traffic and would greatly reduce traffic lines and associated congestion. The connector roads would facilitate local access to the new road and access within the community. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the relocation of one permanent residence situated on 33/304 and the loss of 13.5 acres of pine forest and 1.5 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub within Goose Creek Game Management lands.

Preparation date: March 4, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STAGE 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE LOS VAQUEROS PROJECT, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36412391; 3529 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to reduce saltwater intrusion into water supplied to customers of the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) of Concord, California, is proposed. CCWD provides water to approximately 400,000 retail and wholesale customers throughout north-central and east Contra Costa County. The current water supply is subject to substantial variations in quality during seasonal periods of saltwater intrusion from San Francisco Bay into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CCWD's water source. The proposed plan would involve construction of a new reservoir within the Kellogg Creek watershed, to be called the Los Vaqueros reservoir. The reservoir would cover approximately 1,460 acres and have a storage capacity of 100,000 acre-feet (af), with a maximum allocation of 56,000 af of emergency storage, 30,000 af of water quality enhancement storage, 10,000 af of unused storage, and 4,000 af of evaporation storage. During critical periods when an insufficient amount of high-quality water was available directly from the delta, water from the reservoir would be released and blended with water from the delta to achieve CCWD's water quality goal. The reservoir would be filled between November 1 and June 1, when surplus water of adequate quality would normally be available in the delta. The dam for the reservoir would be an earthen embankment approximately 192 feet high, to be located on Kellogg Creek 7 miles south of Brentwood. Related construction projects would include a new supplemental intake and fish screen facility in the delta, 5 to 10 miles from the reservoir site, with a new electric transmission line to supply power and new pipelines to convey water from the new intake location to the reservoir; a transfer reservoir (approximately 10 af); a pumping plant for diverting the required flows from the delta to the reservoir or the Contra Costa Canal; and a 96-inch-diameter, 12-mile-long pipeline for delivering water to and from the pumping plant. Seven alternative configurations of the new intake facility, the associated conveyance pipeline, and the transfer reservoir are under consideration. The project would require the relocation of Vasco Road, an important regional roadway, as well as of an electric transmission line and other utility facilities. Overall development costs are estimated to be $28.5 million to $38.2 million; annual operating costs at project buildout are estimated to be $2.3 million to $2.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing high-quality water during periods when the delta waters are high in salinity, the reservoir would provide storage for water that could be used during an emergency, such as a major levee failure or chemical spill in the delta waterway. In addition, numerous trails, picnic areas, and other recreational facilities would be constructed around the reservoir. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would result in the permanent conversion of 10 to 22 acres of land classified as being prime, unique, or of statewide importance, and approximately 1,600 acres of nonprime agricultural lands, plus the relocation of 8 residences within the Kellogg Creek watershed. Approximately 180 acres of valley oak woodland would be lost in the inundation area of the reservoir as well as 900 acres of grasslands, an important habitat for 6 wildlife species. The project would also affect about 3 acres of willow cottonwood riparian woodland along creeks and other major drainages. Development of recreational facilities would significantly add to traffic congestion in the area. Scenic views would be affected by the high visibility of the electric transmission line at the intake facility site and the creation of an unvegetated exposed ring around the reservoir when drawn down during critical periods.

Although the calculation of TEQs has been standardized using International Toxicity Equivalency Factors, their application by regulatory agencies is inconsistent. TEQs have been calculated from sediment concentrations of dioxins and furans, yet the bioavailability of these contaminants to aquatic organisms appears to be quite low, and the TEQs may considerably overstate their toxic potential. The current method of analytical chemistry-based TEQs includes only 17 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and does not include polychlorinated biphenyls or other structurally related halogenated hydrocarbons, some of which are more abundant in the environment and may have greater toxic potential than the dioxins and furans. Current TEQ methodology requires expensive trace chemical analyses; assumes additivity of toxic effect of the congeners in a mixture, even when antagonistic effects have been shown; ignores the large species-dependent and response-dependent variability in TEQs; and is biased toward human health protection and may not accurately assess dredged material's real toxicity to aquatic biota. The TEQ method was intended only as an interim measure until the development of an integrative bioassay. Basing TEQs on an integrative bioassay rather than on chemical analysis would overcome the existing problems of the method while retaining the simplicity of a single TEQ number. One such bioassay is the in vitro rat hepatoma H4IIE bioassay, which integrates the additive and antagonistic effects of a mixture into a numerical TEQ at a cost per sample of 10 to 20 times less than trace chemical analysis. This bioassay is currently under development at the Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station for use in sediment evaluation.

Cr(III), Cr(VI), and total dissolved (<0.45 mu m) Cr and total Cr concentration profiles were measured from January until November 1989 together with other redox sensitive species of N, Mn, Fe, and S. Cr(VI) was the predominant species even under anoxic conditions. Concentrations of Cr(VI) ranged from 1 to 4 nM. Reduction of Cr(VI) could be observed only in extremely reducing conditions in the presence of S(-II) and Fe(II). It was concluded that a suitable reducing agent had to be present for the reduction of CR(VI) to Cr(III) to take place and that organic reductants most probably played a minor role. In addition, calculations indicated the occurrence of a slow removal process, with a half-time of 100-230 d, that reduced Cr(VI) concentrations by either adsorption or reduction in both oxic and suboxic waters. Dissolved free Cr(III) species were not detected, which was explained by the strong tendency of this species to bind with surfaces and organic ligands and colloids. Even in oxic conditions, the sediments did not appear to be a source of Cr(VI).

AN - 36386606; 3527 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of flow levels associated with eight reservoirs on the Columbia River and its tributaries is proposed in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to improve the migration of Pacific salmon, some of whose populations are threatened. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams provide flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitats. For the purposes of the present study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering surface elevations at the targeted reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation scheme would involve discharge of additional water during the spring migration to increase river flows. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Ten flow augmentation options for the Snake River, which involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, have been identified. Some of these modifications would be combined with flood control rule curves for reservoirs and/or a shift of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes under consideration within the augmentation options range from 600,000 acre-feet to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 300,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140-cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. [Since the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) was a cooperating agency with the Corps of Engineers (COE) in the preparation of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) submitted by the COE in January 1992, BPA hereby adopts the COE's final EIS. BPA's actions will focus on acquiring replacement power for that lost from additional water releases.] POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of threatened salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, including passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Columbia-Snake Inland Waterway would be affected, and hydroelectric capacity and agricultural irrigation would be impacted negatively.

The partial interchange connecting I-84 with Sandy Boulevard west of N.E. 223rd Avenue would be replaced by a full interchange at a proposed new roadway, N.E. 207th Avenue, with access to Sandy Boulevard. The new roadway would be constructed from the interchange ramps to Sandy Boulevard on the north and Halsey Street on the south. The interchange at N.E. 238th Avenue would be rebuilt as a standard diamond interchange, thereby eliminating the at-grade railroad crossing. In order to mitigate wetlands impacts, 1.5 acres of palustrine wetlands would be created from existing uplands, and an additional 4.5 acres of wetlands would be created in the area of the N.E. Sandy Boulevard interchange. Due to the existence of a public water well field northwest of the project corridor, special features would be added to the project design to contain hazardous waste spills. The estimated cost of the project is $56 million for construction and $12.6 million for rights-of-way acquisition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the freeway's capacity would improve traffic flow and decrease accident potential and operating costs. Federal Interstate and Defense Highway standards would be met. The N.E. 207th Avenue interchange would serve traffic from all directions, unlike the existing interchange, which only serves traffic to and from the east. An at-grade railroad crossing on N.E. 238th Avenue would be replaced by a grade separation. Significant noise impacts would be reduced for numerous residences and one motel. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development for construction of the portion of N.E. 207th Avenue under consideration and the interchange at N.E. 207th Avenue would result in the displacement of 7 businesses and 18 residences and the filling of 2.2 acres of wetlands, although the wetlands loss would be offset by the creation of new wetlands sites. There would be the potential for hazardous waste material spills from vehicles using the freeway. Secondary impacts to water quality could occur as a result of increased development.

AN - 36394699; 3499 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a 14-mile Interstate 85 (I-85) bypass around the city of Greensboro in Guilford County, North Carolina, is proposed. The segment is part of a proposed urban loop encircling the city of Greensboro, as specified in the North Carolina Department's 1991-97 Transportation Improvement Program. Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year (FY) 1994; construction is scheduled to begin in FY 1997. The western terminus of the bypass would be the proposed interchange with the Greensboro Western Urban Loop, located at existing I-85 midway between Groometown Road and Holden Road. The eastern terminus would be located at existing I-85 either east of Youngs Mill Road or midway between McConnell Road and Mount Hope Church Road. The eastern terminus would be the proposed interchange for the Greensboro Eastern/Northern Urban Loop. Various alternatives are being considered, including the Transportation Systems Management alternatives, the Multi-Modal System Alternative, the Construction alternatives, and the No-Build (No Action) Alternative. There are three Construction alternatives. The Northern Alternative would be 11 miles long, and would extend from the I-85 and Campground Road interchange to Youngs Mill Road, crossing US 220 north of Holden Road; Randleman Road at Old Randleman Road; South Elm-Eugene Street; and US 421 south of Wiley-Lewis Road. The Southern Alternative would be 13.7 miles long; it would follow the same alignment as the Northern Alternative from Campground Road to just west of Randleman Road, but would then turn southeast to cross Randleman Road and South Elm-Eugene Street and would cross US 421 south of Ritters Lake Road. It would terminate at I-85 between McConnell Road and Mount Hope Church Road. The GRAND/85 Alternative, proposed by a citizen group, would be 10.9 miles long and would follow roughly the same alignment as the Northern Alternative, although one segment would follow a more northerly route. The estimated costs of the Northern, Southern, and GRAND/85 alternatives are $125.9 million, $128.8 million, and $118.6 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bypass construction would improve access to Piedmont Triad International Airport, reduce traffic currently traveling within the City of Greensboro along existing I-85, reduce accidents by 130 per year (saving over $600,000 per year), and reduce total traffic in the region by over 13,000 vehicle-hours daily, thus contributing to air quality goals while lowering user costs and fuel consumption by 2.6 million gallons annually. The bypass would also improve accessibility for residential, commercial, and industrial development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 39 to 72 residences and 5 to 9 businesses, depending on the construction alternative selected. An increase in noise levels would occur in some areas next to the freeway project. An estimated 1 to 6 acres of wetlands, 200 to 300 acres of prime farmland, and 900 to 1,100 feet of floodplain crossings would also be affected. In addition, 22 structures in the project study area have been identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Although none of the alternatives would take any property from the historic sites, some sites might be affected indirectly by visual changes or increased noise.

Preparation date: February 26, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HICKORY EAST SIDE THOROUGHFARE FROM US 127 TO STARTOWN ROAD, HICKORY, CATAWBA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36411600; 3442 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of an arterial highway link in east Hickory, North Carolina is proposed. The highway, to be called the Hickory East Side Throughfare, would extend approximately seven miles, beginning at North Carolina (NC) 127 north of Hickory, connecting to Interstate 40 (I-40) east of Hickory, and continuing to US 70 in the vicinity of Startown Road. Eight alternative alignments are being considered. Each alternative comprises various combinations of six distinct corridor segments. The project would consist of a multilane highway, a grade separation structure at Highland Avenue and the Southern Railway tracks, and an interchange at I-40. Lane configurations would include both a five-lane roadway with a continuous left-turn lane and a four-lane divided roadway with a grass median. During this corridor location stage of the highway planning process, the corridors under consideration are 400 feet wide. Initially, six interconnecting corridor segments were identified as potential locations for the proposed roadway improvements. These segments were combined to form eight build alternatives. One additional corridor segment providing two additional build alternatives was identified in response to public concerns indicating that an alternative crossing along Springs Road should be considered. Two alternatives were dismissed as infeasible. Rights-of-way acquisition would begin in Fiscal Year (FY) 1994 and construction in FY 1995. Estimated costs range from $30.3 million to $45.6 million, depending on the alternative selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the thoroughfare would meet transportation demands through the year 2010, relieving congestion on existing roads and improving highway safety; advance the objectives of the planned loop system identified in the Hickory-Newton-Conover Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan; maintain air quality within state and federal standards; and improve access to and between residential neighborhoods, industrial areas, and commercial centers. In addition, development would be encouraged in accordance with the local land development plan, and the tax base would be improved. Substantial monetary user benefits would result. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 106 to 188 acres of rights-of-way would require the relocation of 26 to 68 residences and 1 to 8 businesses, as well as utility lines. No more than two neighborhoods would be affected. One archaeological site could be affected. From 1.7 to 6.0 acres of ponds, 34.0 to 99.0 acres of forests, 21.0 to 67.0 acres of prime farmlands, and less than 1.0 acre of wetlands would be lost. Traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards would affect 54 to 110 residences within the corridor. The project would encounter one to four underground storage tanks containing potentially hazardous substances. Up to 2,420 feet of stream location could be required.

Preparation date: February 11, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY, HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36407386; 3443 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a cross-island roadway facility on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina is proposed to connect US 278 near Spanish Wells Road in the northern portion of the island and Palmetto Bay Road north of Sea Pines Circle. The project also would include widening Palmetto Bay Road from Broad Creek to Sea Pines Circle. The Cross Island Parkway would be approximately 5.9 miles long and would consist of a four-lane divided highway with a 48-foot-wide median. A 3,600-foot-long, fixed-span bridge would carry the facility across Broad Creek; the bridge would provide four 12-foot lanes, 10-foot outside shoulders, and a 12-foot median with barrier rails. The bridge would have a vertical clearance of 65 feet above mean high tide and provide a 90-foot-wide navigable channel for Broad Creek. Palmetto Bay Road ultimately would be widened to provide a six-lane divided or seven-lane curb-and-gutter section. The proposal would constitute a refinement of one of six roadway alternatives evaluated. The selected alternative was modified so as to avoid disruption of the Jonesville and Muddy Creek communities and the new Post Office on the north side of US 278 opposite Honey Horn Plantation. The alignment would bisect Honey Horn Plantation but avoid the new Post Office on the north side of US 278 opposite Honey Horn Plantation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Diversion of traffic from US 278 via the expressway would prevent otherwise excessive traffic buildups on US 278, the island's principal route for intra-island travel. Planned development of the island would be supported. Replacement of US 278 with a fully controlled-access expressway would increase travel speeds and safety. The expressway would be less susceptible to storm damage than US 278. Use of the parkway would provide energy savings by reducing vehicle fuel consumption. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of rights-of-way would result in the displacement of one business and four mobile homes. Approximately 4,010 feet of wetlands would be crossed. A total of 24 archaeological and historic sites would lie within the project area; 3 of the sites could be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Noise levels within the expressway corridor would increase; traffic noise from the project would exceed noise abatement criteria for 29 residences along the corridor.

AN - 36386984; 3454 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to protect the shoreline of the city of San Rafael, located in Marin County, California, from flooding along the San Rafael Canal is proposed. The canal is located on the northwestern shoreline of San Francisco Bay in the city of San Rafael. Low-lying areas along the canal are subject to periodic flooding due to high storm runoff or extreme high tides. Most of the 0.6-square-mile flood-prone area consists of urban development on former tidal marshland. Existing levees, walls, and banks along the canal are not high enough to prevent overtopping during extreme high tides. The area immediately south of the canal is particularly subject to tidal flooding as well as freshwater flooding due to poor drainage of storm runoff. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are under consideration. Action alternatives include: (1) a tide barrier with pump stations in the sheetpile floodwall along the south bank of the canal; (2) a tide barrier with a pump station on land; and (3) a sheetpile floodwall along the south bank of the canal. The sheetpile floodwall on the south bank is the recommended plan. More specifically, the preferred alternative would consist of a concrete-capped sheetpile floodwall along low sections of the south bank of the canal. The first section of the floodwall would begin approximately 250 feet upstream from the Francisco Boulevard West crossing of San Rafael Creek and continue east under Highway 101 to the Irwin Street bridge. The second section of the floodwall would extend from Grand Avenue to the west side of the turning basin. The third section would extend from the east side of the turning basin to the entrance to the San Rafael Yacht Harbor. The fourth section would extend from the existing pump station at the southern tip of the Yacht Harbor to the northwest corner of Pickleweed Park. This last section of the floodwall would connect with a levee across the north side of the park's recreation field. The combined length of the floodwall sections would be approximately 10,000 feet. The top of the floodwalls and levee would be at an elevation of 7.9 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), except along the east side of Pickleweed Park, where the new levee would taper from 7.9 to 9.7 feet NGVD. A sheetpile floodwall would be constructed along a 1,600-foot reach of the bayfront levee along the east side of the ""Canalways'' parcel. This levee would be capped with an asphalt maintenance road. Fish and wildlife mitigation measures would be incorporated into the project design. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 95 percent of the potential flood damage to the area would be eliminated, virtually removing any safety hazard due to flooding. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The recommended floodwall would reduce tidal circulation within an 0.8-acre area of the canal. Approximately 0.1 acre of diked wetland would be lost at Pickleweed Park, and 0.5 acre of ruderal habitat and 0.4 acre of irrigated turf would be displaced. The loss of 0.2 acre of available salt marsh would displace harvest mouse habitat. The floodwall would partially obstruct views of the canal from some residences. Construction activities would require the temporary removal of docks, cause temporary, localized turbidity, and could interfere with commercial boat ramps and cranes.

AN - 36395364; 3444 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a segment of Utah Forest Highway 5, State Route (SR) 35, Wolf Creek Road, in Duchesne and Wasatch counties, Utah, is proposed. The study segment extends from the North Fork Provo River bridge to Stockmore. More specifically, the existing segment begins in the Provo River Valley near the confluence of the north and south forks of the Provo River. SR 35 is paved with an asphalt surface from the town of Francis to the North Fork Provo River bridge. Just east of the bridge, SR 35 becomes a gravel and dirt road that extends 24 miles eastward to the North Fork Duchesne River bridge. The gravel and dirt portion begins at an elevation of 7,160 feet and climbs steadily upward following the South Fork Provo River drainage to its beginning at Wolf Creek Summit. The route crosses Wolf Creek Summit at an elevation of 9,470 feet, then proceeds to the east along the Wolf Creek and West Fork Duchesne River drainages to the North Fork Duchesne River bridge. It proceeds eastward from the North Fork Duchesne River bridge for 0.8 mile to connect once again with a paved portion of SR 35. Six alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. Under most of the alternatives, the existing one-lane and two-lane dirt and gravel road would be improved to create a two-lane road. Alternative B would reconstruct and pave SR 35 to minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, with a design speed of 50 miles per hour (mph). Alternative C would reconstruct and pave SR 35 to minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, with a design speed of 45 mph on the lower portions and 35 mph on the upper and middle sections. Alternative D would reconstruct and pave SR 35 to less than the minimum design criteria for a major collector highway, using the same design speeds as under Alternative C. Alternative E would reconstruct SR 35 as in Alternative D with a gravel surface. Alternative F would shape and pave existing SR 35. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Improvement of the road would serve the residents of Duchesne, Wasatch, and Summit counties, as well as the population centers along the Wasatch Front. Recreational users and school children would be provided with enhanced access to the surrounding areas of the Uinta National Forest. Forest management would be enhanced as well. An unfinished link in the state transportation system would be completed. Pavement of the roadway would reduce dust pollution along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb soils and vegetation. Cultural resource sites, including historic and prehistoric artifacts, would lie within the rights-of-way of the improvement project. Project activities would displace up to 8.2 acres of wetlands and 5.1 acres of riparian land. Some cut-and-fill activity could be required. Alternative B could result in noise levels exceeding federal standards. The project could encounter hazardous waste disposal sites.

Preparation date: January 24, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HANSEN DAM MASTER PLAN, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36387039; 3424 AB - PURPOSE: The Hansen Dam, which was designed for flood control, was completed in September 1940. Recreation and environmental resource management were subsequently authorized as secondary project purposes. The last master plan addressing recreation and environmental resources was prepared in 1975. An updated plan is needed to guide the orderly development and use of the natural and man-made resources at Hansen Dam basin. The proposed plan includes a 15-acre swim lake, proposed Phase II expansion of the Equestrian Center, footprint for a 70-acre lake site, and land use assignments for the entire basin. Hansen Dam is located at the confluence of the Big and Little Tujunga washes along the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley. The dam is 10,475 feet long with a crest elevation of 1,087 feet and a maximum height of 97 feet; it is oriented in an east-west direction across Tujunga Wash. Primary project structures other than the dam include an approach channel, spillway, control tower and outlet works, and an outlet channel. The overall basin is approximately 2.7 miles wide and extends north approximately 1.3 miles, sloping generally northward at a grade of approximately two percent. the reservoir covers approximately 1,090 acres at the maximum water surface elevation and 790 acres at the spillway crest elevation. Approximately 1,450 acres of the total 1,463.5 acres of the Hansen Dam project area are leased to the city of Los Angeles for recreation. Approximately 350 acres have been developed for recreational use, including an 18-hole golf course, an equestrian center, a group picnic area, a visitor center, a sports center, parkland, and equestrian and hiking trails. The following criteria were established for designation of land use allocations: (1) environmentally sensitive areas and areas with high sedimentation and flooding risks would be open space, limited to development of trails only; (2) lands adjacent to riparian areas, wildlife habitat, and residential areas, high flood risk areas, and areas with poor access would be designated for low-intensity recreation use; (3) all remaining areas would be designated for high-intensity recreation use; and (4) existing facilities would be designated according to their current use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would support the project purposes of flood control and recreation, derive the optimum benefit from recreational resources and optimize competing resources, use environmental resource values in recreational development, integrate proposed development with existing facilities, and provide development criteria for open space and high- and low-intensity recreational use. The proposed 15-acre lake footprint would provide an ""upper'' swimming lake that would drain down gradient via the meandering stream into the potential 70-acre ""lower'' nonmotorized boating and fishing lake. With lake excavation, there is a potential for discovering new archaeological resources. The visual quality of the area would be enhanced, and the increased number of visitors into the area could bring additional income and commerce to the locality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cause some erosion and result in minor landscape reconfiguration. Approximately 150,000 cubic yards of material would be moved for lake construction. Construction activities would also result in minor air pollutant emissions. Increased human activities within recreational areas could result in the possible loss of fringe habitat and increased levels of waste that might attract predators. Increased visitation could also adversely impact existing recreational facilities. The extent of open space within the project area would decline. Establishment of the lake would generate large volumes of traffic, which would impact the level of service offered by the streets surrounding the basin. The financial cost for maintenance and security could be passed on to the public.

Preparation date: January 24, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED DAM AND LAKE, BRUSHY CREEK STATE RECREATION AREA, WEBSTER COUNTY, IOWA. AN - 36408127; 3431 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a dam and a 690-acre recreational lake is proposed on the 4,200-acre Brushy Creek State Recreation Area in Webster County, Iowa. The recreation area is a state-owned area located in Washington and Webster townships. The dominant feature on the site is the Brushy Creek Valley. Brushy Creek is a small tributary of the Des Moines River. The dam would be located on the main channel of Brushy Creek below the center of Section 34, Township 88 North, Range 27 West; the location is at an existing gravel road that crosses Brushy Creek. The dam, which would have a drainage area of 56,360 acres, would be an earthen embankment approximately 2,000 feet long and 90 feet high, with a top width of 36 feet and a typical base width of 600 feet. The principal spillway for the embankment would convey the majority of lake discharge, and the emergency spillway would carry discharge only in flood events exceeding the 100-year storm. Construction of the embankment would include a low-level drawdown structure and an intermediate drawdown structure. Fill for the embankment would come from upland sites; four borrow sites have been selected. The 690-acre lake would have 18 miles of shoreline, a 75-foot maximum depth, and a 29-foot mean depth. The normal pool elevation would be 1,055 feet National Vertical Geodetic Datum. Land-based recreational facilities would occupy approximately seven percent of the site. Recreational facilities would include two major campgrounds within sight and walking distance of the lake, picnic areas, cabins, a trail system, a boat ramp, an entrance road, and handicapped-accessible fishing piers and jetties. The remainder of the site would be undeveloped and consist of the 260-acre state preserve and approximately 2,830 acres to be managed to preserve and/or restore vegetation and wildlife habitat. The estimated cost of constructing the dam and spillway structures, expected to be performed over 12 to 18 months, is $7.5 million in 1991 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Creation of the lake would meet the fishing and other water-oriented recreational needs of the surrounding 11-county area of north-central Iowa. In general, the water-based recreational use of the site would be maximized, and recreational opportunities would be provided in a natural setting. The unique natural and cultural resources of the site would be protected. Local construction and employment income generated by development of the lake would amount to $3.8 million and $204,340, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 6.2 miles of Brushy Creek would be inundated and converted to a lake, and 519 acres of forestlands, 161 acres of farmlands, and 18 acres of wetlands, as well as associated mineral resources, would also be removed from possible exploitation. Approximately 27 percent of the natural vegetation in the affected area would be removed. Wind-driven wave action would affect a maximum of 13 percent of the shoreline under worst-case conditions. Local residents have expressed opposition to the development of the lake, which will interfere with customary uses of the valley. Ponding easements on 13 agricultural properties, covering 95 acres, would be required.

Preparation date: January 23, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHEAST ALASKA HARBORS: SITKA HARBOR. AN - 36395516; 3452 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of Thomsen Harbor in the Sitka area of southeastern Alaska is proposed. Sitka is centrally located near rich fishing grounds. Expansion of existing facilities is needed to fully accommodate local and transient vessels. Under the preferred alternative, the project would primarily involve expanding the harbor via construction of a breached breakwater across the north end of Japonski Island to Baranof Island. Three breakwaters would be placed across the northern entrance of Western Anchorage. Starting from the west end, the breakwater lengths would be 320 feet, 1,200 feet, and 480 feet. The breakwaters would reduce wave action in a large area, including the Thomsen Harbor area, where a new moorage would be developed. The new moorage would be located adjacent to the existing Thomsen Harbor moorage basin and would be operated with it as one facility. The float system would be in deep water; the project would not require dredging. A two-acre parking lot would be developed in the adjacent intertidal zone with commercially available material from an upland site. The new float system would accommodate 200 vessels, plus the additional 115 vessels resulting from the optimization analysis. Vessels would range in length from 25 to 60 feet, with maximum drafts of 7 feet. Mitigation measures associated with the project could involve the creation of herring habitat and/or protection of habitat outside the project area. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Harbor improvements would support marine transportation for commercial and recreational pursuits in the Sitka area and its environs by providing improved moorage capacity. Fishing, which is the primary commercial activity, would be particularly supported. Expansion of existing facilities would accommodate local and transient vessels near the rich regional fishing grounds. The large area protected by the breakwater would allow expansion or modification of the moorage facilities at relatively low cost as harbor needs change. The new parking area would add much-needed space in a municipal area where undeveloped land is currently scarce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project developments would affect the 20-acre moorage area and 6.3 acres of subtidal habitat that would be displaced by the breakwater. The breakwater would also affect water circulation in Sitka Channel, possibly affecting herring spawning. Several acres of tidelands would be filled to create the parking lot adjacent to Thomsen Harbor.

Preparation date: January 17, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95, NEW HAVEN HARBOR CROSSING, NEW HAVEN/WEST HAVEN /EAST HAVEN, CONNECTICUT. AN - 36408090; 3440 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bridge to carry Interstate 95 (I-95) across the New Haven Harbor is proposed to connect New Haven, West Haven, and East Haven, Connecticut. The existing six-lane Quinnipiac River Bridge crossing the harbor is inadequate to serve traffic demands. Seven alternatives are under consideration: the Do Nothing Alternative, the Transit/TSM Alternative, and five Build Alternatives. The first would leave the existing harbor facilities intact; the second would emphasize significant investments in transit improvements and improved managment of the existing transportation infrastructure. The first Build Alternative would involve expansion of the existing bridge, to the extent practicable, to meet the functional requirements of the interstate corridor. The other two involve new crossing alignments, including one to the immediate south of the existing bridge and north of a relocated Tomlinson Bridge and one immediately north of the existing bridge. With the exception of the harbor crossings and the immediate approach roads to the crossings, a total distance of approximately 1.5 miles, the candidate alternatives share a common alignment with existing I-95. The overall length of the project, regardless of the alternative chosen, would be approximately 5.5 miles. Lengths of the bridge structure would range from 810 feet to 1,450 feet, with main spans ranging from 387 feet to 700 feet. The Quinnipiac Bridge would be retained and rehabilitated as an integral part of the project regardless of the alternative chosen. Depending on the alternative chosen, the cost of the project ranges from $591 million to $670 million in 1991 dollars and includes costs associated with rehabilitation of the existing bridge, which range from $36 million to $42 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The capacity of the I-95 harbor crossing, which is currently substandard, would be increased significantly and brought up to interstate highway standards. Easing traffic movements within the corridor would reduce emissions of air pollutants. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 23 to 27 residential structures, 42 to 49 housing units, 19 to 25 commercial establishments, and 6 to 9 industrial establishments. From 323 to 393 employees would be affected by business relocations. Property acquisitions would result in an annual tax base loss of $258,000 to $320,000. Utility relocation requirements would include electrical transmission towers, jet fuel lines, sanitary sewers, and/or force mains. Benthic habitat, including leased shellfish beds, would be displaced. From 20 to 24 architecturally significant resource sites would be affected, and extensive impacts could occur to archaeological resources. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at 20 to 24 sites. Bridge structures would impact visual aesthetics in the area. Coastal floodplain encroachment would occur.

Preparation date: January 13, 1992 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION OF THE KISSIMMEE RIVER, FLORIDA. AN - 36403623; 3455 AB - PURPOSE: Environmental restoration of the Kissimmee River, located in central Florida, is proposed. The Kissimmee River Basin, which extends from Orlando to Lake Okeechobee, is characterized by a degraded ecosystem that has resulted from water resource development by federal and local authorities dating back to the late 1800s. Federal basin improvements include channelization of the river between Kissimmee and Fort Basinger, authorized in 1902, and flood control improvements, authorized in 1954 as part of the comprehensive Central and Southern Florida Project. The Upper Basin flood control project includes channels and structures that control the flow regime of a system of 18 natural lakes. The Lower Basin works consist of a flood control canal, known as C-38, and six water control structures, known as S-65 structures, that step water down over the canal's 56 miles from Lake Kissimee to Lake Okeechobee. As a result of project work, the original 103-mile-long meandering river, which inundated approximately 35,000 acres of wetlands over a broad floodplain, was reduced to a 56-mile canal that has successfully contained almost all flows since its completion. This channelization of flow, coupled with modifications of Lower Basin tributary watersheds and efficient control of flood waters and regulation of inflows from the upper basin, significantly altered the hydrologic characteristics of the ecosystem. The currently recommended plan, to be implemented in the Lower Basin, would consist of backfilling approximately 29 miles of C-38; excavating approximately 11.6 miles of new river channel; constructing a bypass weir and channel at S-65; shallowing the Lake Kissimmee outlet channel reach, along with construction of weirs within the channel; modifying Pool B weirs and S-65A and S-65E structures; constructing containment levees, bridge crossings at US 98 and the CSX Transportation Railroad, and new structures in Pool E; removing the existing S-65B, S-65C, and S-65D structures and local levees; and installing navigation channel markers. Approximately 67,843 acres of land would be acquired in fee or on easement. The estimated cost of the recommended plan is $422.7 million, and the average annual cost is estimated at $43.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would restore the essential physical and hydrologic characteristics of the Lower Kissimmee River Basin, including the natural river channel and floodplain. Flow, water depths, and hydroperiods would resemble historic conditions. Restoration of these physical and hydrologic characteristics would provide the conditions necessary for natural reestablishment of an ecosystem similar to that which existed prior to construction of the basin's flood control project. The restored system would include 56 miles of restored river and 29,000 acres of restored wetlands, improving water quality and habitat conditions for more than 300 fish and wildlife species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Numerous residences, businesses, and farms would be affected by land acquisition and project developments, and project developments would require the relocation of boat launch ramps and utilities. Cultural sites, including significant prehistoric and historic artifacts, would be located within the project area. The Department of the Air Force has reported several concerns about potential project effects on operations at the Avon Park Bombing Range, including potentials for bird-aircraft strike hazards, security breaches, and public safety hazards.

In the present paper, the potential of materials accounting techniques to forewarn of critical loadings on water, air and soil is assessed. For this purpose, the anthropogenic and natural contributions to the metabolism of a region are measured and estimated respectively. The control of man-made material fluxes to the environment is discussed with regard to a waste management concept based on sustainable fluxes of emissions and final storage quality of landfill materials. According to the results, regional material balances are powerful tools for integrated waste management: they allow the setting of priorities in waste management by identifying important material quantities and qualities, they are the base for the design and evaluation of waste treatment technologies, they are necessary for environmental impact statements, and they allow the recognition and minimization of the overall flux of materials from the anthroposphere to the environment.

Channelization has resulted in degradation of the natural ecosystem. Alteration of the physical form and natural hydrologic characteristics has had negative impacts on fish and wildlife, and other natural resources. As a result, there has been significant opposition to the project and a desire for restoration of the river. Since construction was completed, a number of studies have been conducted to address restoration of the Kissimmee River. Most recently, the Corps has completed a feasibility study which recommends a plan for the environmental restoration of the river. JF - Integrated Water Resources Planning for the 21st Century.

The focus one DRP work unit is to develop a rapid geophysical technique to remotely and efficiently determine characteristics of subbottom marine sediments as they relate to dredging. A low noise, high-resolution subbottom digital imaging system utilizing principles of acoustics was developed to fulfill much of this need. Acoustic impedance, the product of seismic wave velocity and density of the host material, is advocated as the most useful parameter in determining subbottom characteristics. High-resolution seismic data acquisition followed by correlation processing techniques are described. The authors also discuss the theoretical foundation of the approach, limiting mathematics to basics while providing references for those desiring more detail. A case history involving volumetric estimates of specific materials is presented along with examples of two-and three-dimensional data visualization. Successful tests in eight widely differing geologic environments have led to the conclusion that acoustic impedance processing of high-resolution seismic reflection data provides an accurate, continuous description of bottom and subbottom marine sediment characteristics in a rapid, cost effective manner. Results from properly calibrated surveys have been successfully used to provide Corps' Districts and dredging contractors with density, material-type and volume estimates of marine sediments.

HEC's basic systems analysis method has been the simulation of watershed and river basin processes. Several other systems analysis activities are an outgrowth of that basic simulation capability: automated parameter estimation algorithms, synthetic streamflow generation, network analysis, branch-and-bound search techniques, numerical methods, risk and uncertainty analysis, and expert systems. Systems analysis at the HEC has been an approach to problem solving as much as the actual technical methods. This philosophy of problem solving can be likened to a local hardware store's approach to do-it-yourself home repair. The hardware store personnel make a genuine effort to understand the homeowner's problem; then, they offer tools, supplies, and advice to solve the problem. Examples of these systems analysis techniques and their application to hydrologic engineering problem solving are presented in this paper.

They include four major zones (Artemisia, Juniperus - Hippophae, Betula, Pinus PAZ) with several subzones. Pollen and oxygen-isotope analyses on lacustrine sediments from several lakes in the area reveal four distinct phases of climatic oscillation in the time period of 13 000-9500 yr BP. The first oscillation, termed the Aegelsee fluctuation, occurs shortly before 12 000 yr BP and varve counts suggest its duration was ca. 100 yr. It is characterised by a short decrease in the oxygen isotopes as well as a short increase in NAP associated with a depression in birch pollen values. The second oscillation, which occurs in the 18O record shortly before the deposition of the Laacher See Tephra (ca. 11 000 yr BP), is termed the Gerzensee fluctuation. It occurs during a pine-dominated phase and its vegetational effects cannot be determined palynologically. The most prominent regressive phase is the Younger Dryas biozone (ca. 10 700-10 000 yr BP) characterised by an increase in heliophilous NAP and low 18O values. The Younger Dryas biozone can often be subdivided palynologically into two parts: a first part rich in grasses and juniper and a second part with higher Filipendula and birch values. During the Preboreal biozone another distinct oscillation is evidenced only in the oxygen isotope ratios. Comparison of the Swiss oxygen isotope profiles with the Greenland Dye 3 record suggests that not only the three major shifts in the 18O curves but also the minor ones are closely comparable, suggesting some common climatic control.

Because of their multi-disciplinary and interdependent nature, project teams demand highly attuned team building skills by which they can achieve project objectives. A project team is a collection of people who must rely on cooperative group effort and on the specific skills and abilities of each interdependent team member. Each team member's skills complement the efforts of the team and assure goal attainment Through effective team work, a group can generate solutions to problems that are far superior to those developed individually by its team members. Managers must be able to examine team effort with a skilled eye and determine what restraints are blocking maximum productivity. Then, with the help of the team, the managers must devise a strategy to overcome or remove obstacles and combine team resources to achieve project goals.

A water resources project is planned, designed and brought through construction by a study/project management team that consists of the technical experts and the project manager. Each team member can be a trouble shooter, at any time, in addition to serving the project through their field of technical expertise.

Changes have resulted in less time and resources to analyze the problems and to establish the Federal interest. An accurate cost estimate of the subsequent study phase is also necessary since local sponsors cost share at the feasibility study level. The Initial Project Management Plan (IPMP) is the required tool for developing schedules and cost estimates and managing feasibility studies, most of which are cost shared. The schedules and costs reflected In the IPMP are based primarily on information developed at the reconnaissance phase. The basic findings of the reconnaissance study, therefore, must be sound to successfully scope the feasibility effort. This paper is a cooperative effort of the two Hydraulic Engineers and the Study Manager involved in the recent Metropolitan Region of Chattanooga Reconnaissance Study. The authors discuss the importance of details used as base input for the Chattanooga area reconnaissance study and the collective impact these details had on study conclusions. The objective of the paper is to re-emphasize the importance of the reconnaissance phase in providing conclusive baseline data from which to develop the IPMP. Using the Chattanooga area reconnaissance effort as a case study, the authors discuss the need to accomplish timely reconnaissance conclusions based upon accurate data Lessons learned during the conduct of the case study are highlighted.

The IPMP forms the basis for estimating study costs and schedules and assigning responsibilities. An IPMP that has documented the alternatives to be evaluated and has clearly defined detailed work tasks will serve as a management control for the feasibility phase studies, establish the basis for changes, and help preclude communication and review problems. It is a road map for the conduct of the study. It is also a means for everyone who must be involved in the study, both in the conduct and the review and approval, to formally "buy-In" to the conduct of the study.

This was based on an analysis of projects in the Construction General account. Projects in classified in Preconstruction, Engineering and Design stage were not showing much better results. This was a basic focus by Mr. Page the then ASA(CW) and these results, coupled with his experiences in private practice, caused him to have the Corps institute changes in the way they are structured in order to provide a more direct link to performance and accountability on cost and schedules.

This is especially true as federal funding for water projects declines and with the greater emphasis now being placed on study coordination and project management. Additionally, local sponsors are requesting more in-depth justification of the study analytical procedures and often desire to participate with in-kind technical services to meet cost-shared funding obligations. These actions have produced greater competition for study funds and a need for justification of required technical analyses. Unfortunately, the technical studies resources needed to formulate and evaluate viable flood damage reduction measures are oftened reduced to meet these other study requirements. Hydrologic Engineering Management Plans represent a management tool that can significantly enhance the study efficiency and products. A well developed HEMP is a document that presents a thoroughly conceived study strategy and analysis methods, work schedule, work item cost estimates, and staffing assignments. The document may be used internal to the hydrologic engineering office as well as formally at key study milestones to document hydrologic engineering study requirements. The formal application utility is presented herein. As such, the HEMP may be used for integrating the hydrologic analysis with other disciplines, negotiation for resources allocation, and for obtaining consensus of the hydrologic engineering study approach with the study/project manager and others including the local sponsor.

This new guidance came to light following the Reconnaissance Review Conference (RRC) in which a HQUSACE memorandum emphasized "the need for task specific detail in the scopes of work portion of the IPMP." This "should be accomplished along the lines of the 'generic IPMP' description." The memorandum also stated that a more "explicit plan for risk analysis must be included in the IPMP." The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the project and describe how the generic IPMP (Wilbanks, 1992) format and risk & uncertainty guidance are being incorporated into the analysis. This paper is an attempt to show how we have interpreted and used the guidance, and is not meant as merely a review of the guidance.

The report also concluded that a concrete lined channel was economically justified and should be considered further in the feasibility study. As a result of numerous coordination meetings with higher headquarters, several adjustments to the February 1991 Reconnaissance Report were made. These adjustments outlined the need to perform additional engineering studies in the feasibility phase including additional detention area investigations, construction material unit price adjustments, and additional soil borings at bridge locations. As a result of this additional work, the total first cost for the turf lined channel with detention basin increased to $16,542,000 and the cost of the concrete lined channel increased to $23,169,000. The Reconnaissance Report including the Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA) and Initial Project Management Plan (IPMP), were coordinated with higher Corps of Engineers headquarters and the local sponsor pursuant to obtaining certification to execute the FCSA. Accordingly, certification from the HQUSACE was received on December 1991 and provided the basis for proceeding on with the feasibility study. Upon adjusting the feasibility study schedule, since certification had been anticipated In September 1991, and revising the IPMP to address comments received from this office, the Executive Director of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) - the study sponsor - and the Detroit District Commander signed the FCSA.

Historically, the Corps has had difficulty in accomplishing necessary planning and engineering studies for the time and funds originally estimated. In many cases, this difficulty is caused by a lack of communication between key members of the study team, by the failure to recognize the proper methods and procedures necessary to analyze the specific problem, or by the expansion of the project scope, or alternatives to evaluate, without commensurate increases in funds to perform these additional activities. In the past, it was not unusual for the Corps to go back to Congress for more money to complete the feasibility study or the detailed technical analysis. Today, however, the local sponsor must cost share these occurrences; a situation that can cause embarrassment to the Corps and reflect poorly on Its engineering management reputation. The need for a cost sharing partner for Corps studies and reports mandates that technical management of study time and costs be Improved. Although all engineering analyses are Important, hydrologic engineering is a critical item in Corps studies, especially for feasibility investigations. The hydrologic engineering study product must satisfy local sponsor and study team needs. It must also be completed within available financial resources. The only way to accomplish the study effort within budgetary constraints is to adequately scope and plan the effort prior to initiation of the work. This effort is extremely important to the initial project management plan (IPMP). The development of a proper hydrologic engineering management plan for the study is necessary to accomplish these objectives.

While it sounds simple and straight forward, it will be successful only if everything goes as originally planned or if flexibility in the plan exists. An Initial Project Management Plan (IPMP) is the plan for work to be accomplished during the feasibility phase of a project The IPMP is prepared near the end of the reconnaissance phase and is ultimately appended to the Feasibility Cost-Sharing Agreement (FCSA), a legally binding contract between the Corps of Engineers and our non-Federal partner for the project. An IPMP must include a delineation of tasks to be completed as part of the feasibility study, an identification of who is responsible for completing each task, an establishment of a cost function for each task, and a schedule of the timing and interrelationships of the tasks.

Contaminated dredged sediments were disposed in Long Island Sound eleven and seven years prior to sampling, and capped with uncontaminated dredged sediments. Core data provided no conclusive evidence of physical disturbance of, or chemical migration from, the contaminated mound sediments. Obvious chemical gradients of contaminant concentrations, which we propose are indicators of chemical migration, were not detected in the cores. Heterogeneity of the cap and mound sediments in some cores made the interface less distinct. The authors postulate that the preservation of spatial variability of sediment texture and associated contaminants observed within dredged material mounds is a result of the dredging process. Preservation of the textural and contaminant history of dredged sediments within fine-grained cohesive cap materials provides evidence of the absence of physical or chemical disturbance.

The model uses network-flow programming to allocate optimally the system water. In Phase II the modeled system was extended to include navigation on the Mississippi River by including a node at St. Louis. The applications are performed using the best-currently-available estimates of flow data and penalty functions, both of which must be considered to be preliminary and are basically those used in the Phase I analysis. This report includes draft documentation which describes the current version of the program and selectively displays example input and output. JF - Project Reports.

Way back when PMP meant only PROBABLE MAXIMUM PRECIPITATION and feasibility reports were prepared, review questions were Ignored and the "real" project was planned and designed in the GDM. This era was a very busy time for many districts. The work effort was often broken into pieces to be completed by specialists. Supposedly, this was efficient. Our organizational structure still reflects the practices of that era. Additionally, our attitudes about study efficiency still prevail in many places. Piece work assignments are still the norm in many districts today. But others do things differently. Some are effective at getting products developed and approved but others invariably need extra time and money after reviews. This paper is about those differences, some corrective actions to help IPMP usage and advice to help Implement any changes to improve IPMP usage.

With the advent of local cost sharing, and other cost containment and reduction efforts, a new and closer relationship between the federal government, technical and project management elements, and the partner/customer (project sponsor) has developed to keep costs and schedules under control and within realistic and competitive limits while trying to ensure that a quality product is produced. IPMP development, however, can be more involved, perplexing, and complicated than it might seem, at least from the technical evaluation side. This is partly because along with the IPMP process also came the need to perform detailed analysis and design of the selected project plan (NED - National Economic Development plan) at an earlier stage than in the old GDM (General Design Memorandum). This meant that considerable thought had to be given in the reconnaissance stage to the amount of work necessary In feasibility to evaluate alternatives and the final project plan even though it is not always recognizable at the time the IPMP is being prepared what the final plan would be. The problem is exacerbated if there are a large number of good alternatives to be examined at the feasibility stage, any one of which could require significant and costly technical evaluation if studied in any detail.

Tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin have been shown to be highly toxic to aquatic organisms, but the mode(s) of action(s) on the biochemical level remain(s) to be further elucidated. Here we report on studies with marine and freshwater fish on the interaction of organotins with hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and associated enzyme activity. TBT led to a time- and dose-dependent decrease in total microsomal P450 content in vitro. This decrease in P450 was accompanied by the formation of cytochrome P420. Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity was strongly inhibited by TBT in a dose-dependent manner. A 24h in vivo exposure of the marine scup to 3.3 to 16.3 mg/kg TBT led to the formation of P420, and decrease of EROD activity. Immunoblot analysis with a monoclonal antibody to P450 IAI showed a decrease of P450 1 A protein content, similar to the EROD activity pattern. Immunoblot analysis with polyclonal antibodies to two P450 forms with different testosterone activities showed decreases in P450 protein content only at 16.3 mg/kg. Therefore, TBT may have a different effect on P450 forms. In conclusion, organotins can strongly interact in vitro and in vivo with microsomal P450 leading to destruction of native enzyme and inhibition of enzyme activity. Consequently, organotin exposure may alter the induction response of P450 to other environmental pollutants. JF - 13th Annual Meeting Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry - Abstracts.

The physical characteristics are the drainage area of the basin, the percentage area of the basin covered only by lakes, the percentage area of the basin covered by lakes and wetlands, the main-channel length, and the main-channel slope. The points on the stream include outlets of sub-basins of at least five square miles, outfalls of sewage treatment plants, and locations of U.S. Geological Survey low-flow, high-flow, and continuous-record gaging stations. The sub-basin boundaries were delineated on the basis of topographic features and human activities recorded on topographic maps. The sub-basin boundaries and labels were recorded using a geographic information system (GIS). The lake data were overlaid onto the sub-basin data to associate each lake with a sub-basin. Marsh data were recorded using a computer-aided drafting (CAD) system and transferred to the GIS and associated with a sub-basin. The total of marsh area and lake area determined the storage area. The stream-channel line segments were recorded using the CAD and transferred to the GIS. Elevation data for the streams were recorded using the CAD system at the intersection of topographic contour lines and stream channels, and transferred to the GIS and associated with a stream-channel line segment. Stream slope was calculated by dividing the differences in elevation between two points on the stream channel (at 10% and at 85% of the stream channel length from the basin outlet to the drainage divide), and the distance along the stream channel between these points.

The predictive model is based on the Okubo-Pritchard relationship for horizontal diffusion, which solves the transport equation which governs the distribution of total suspended solids or dissolved species. The model runs on a personal computer and provides the spatial distribution of particulate concentrations in the plume from minimum information on local hydrography, the intensity of advective and dispersive processes, and the characteristics and discharge rate of the dredged material. The extent of the plume is defined as the isoline of acceptable concentration of a specified material. The rate of decay of the plume, once the overflow terminates, can also be computed.

The headwater (navigation pol) and tailwater elevations at Lock and Dam No. 25 near Windfield, MO, are controlled by the regulation of 14 tainter gates and 3 roller gates. Stage discharge ratings for these tainter and roller gates were developed for use in computing discharge through Dam No. 25 and to aid in regulating the navigation pool within its normal operating limits of 429.70 to 434.00 ft. A total of 57 measurements of discharge that ranged from 370 to 9,220 cu ft/sec were made in the tainter and roller gate forebays. The measured discharges were used to define flow regimes as a function of static-headwater depth (h1), static-tailwater depth (h3), and vertical height of tainter or roller gate opening (hg). Submerged orifice flow is the predominant flow regime at lock and Dam No. 25. Thirty-seven discharge measurements defining coefficients of discharge (Cgs) ranging from 0.087 (hg=1 ft) to 0.731 (hg=14 ft) were used to develop the submerged orifice discharge coefficient relation for the tainter gates. Seventeen discharge measurements defining coefficients of discharge ranging from 0.038 (hg=1 ft) to 0.534 (hg=14 ft) were used to develop the submerged orifice discharge coefficient relation for the roller gates. Also, three discharge measurements were made with the gates closed (hg=0) to evaluate the tainter and roller gate leakage discharge relations. Theoretical equations that express discharge per gate (Q) as a function of discrete hydraulic control variables were developed from these discharge coefficient and gate leakage discharge relations. The resulting equations of discharge area applicable to gate openings of 1 ft to 14 ft and for orifice submergence ratios (h3/hg) ranging from 1.4 to 11.0; thus, these equations can be used to compute discharges for regulated flow conditions not otherwise defined by the current meter discharge measurements. Discharge rating tables for the tainter and roller gates are given for selected combinations of headwater and tailwater elevations.

The development of a stage-discharge rating for these tainter gates can be used to compute discharge through Dam No. 24, and to aid in regulating the navigation pool (headwater) elevation within its normal operational limits of 445.50 to 449.00 ft. Hydraulic control variables and discharge data were collected at selected tainter gates and analyzed. A total of 46 current meter discharge measurements that ranged from 891 to 17,500 cu ft/sec were made in the tainter gate forebays. The measured discharges were used to identify flow regimes as a function of static headwater depth (h1), static-tailwater depth (H3), and vertical height of tainter gate opening (hg). Submerged-orifice flow is the predominant flow regime under the tainter gates at Lock and Dam No. 24. Forty-three discharge measurements were used to define coefficients of discharge, which ranged from 0.072 (hg=0.5 ft) to 1.04 (hg-15 ft). These coefficients were used to develop the discharge coefficient relation for the submerged orifice flow regime. Three discharge measurements (hg=0) were made to evaluate the tainter gate leakage discharge relation. Theoretical equations that express discharge per gate as a function of discrete hydraulic control variables were developed from the discharge coefficient and gate leakage relations. The resulting equations of discharge are applicable to gate openings of 0.5 ft to 15 ft with orifice-submergence ratios (h3/hg) from 1.4 to 27.9; thus, the equations can be used to compute discharges for regulated flow conditions not otherwise defined by the current meter discharge measurements. Using these equations, a discharge rating table was computed for the normal headwater operational limits of 445.50 to 449.00 ft and selected tailwater elevations.

These carbon fines in the recharqe trench or in the surrounding aquifer can result in lower aquifer permeability. The carbon fines could act as a site for growth of microorganisms that can reduce the permeability of the aquifer material. A two-dimensional finite element numerical groundwater model (GWBIO) was developed to simulate the transport of carbon fines, nutrient, oxygen, and microorganisms in subsurface environment. The model can simulate the permeability reduction due to increase in concentration of carbon fines and growth of microorganisms. The accuracy of the numerical model was evaluated by obtaining a close agreement between numerical, analytical solutions and laboratory models. The permeability of the gravel recharge trench was significantlY reduced by growth of microorganisms and addition of carbon fines. Changes in inflow carbon fine concentration of + or - 50% did not produce a significant difference in permeability production rates, whereas a five-fold increase in microorganism growth resulted in extensive permeability reduction.

The resolution requirements for this finite element-based tidal model were examined for a simplified domain which encompasses the continental shelf, slope, rise and deep ocean. A variety of highly graded meshes were tested and compared to a converged uniform grid 'truth' solution. The widely used linear wavelength to grid size criterion, lambda/delta x, leads to solutions which do not compare well to the truth solution, even for lambda/delta x ratios as high as 100. In fact, correct solutions can only be obtained by providing additional refinement over the continental shelf break and the continental slope. In order to obtain accurate solutions, certain guidelines must be followed. First, to obtain accurate semi-diurnal constituents, develop a base grid using a lambda (for M2)/delta x = 25 to 30 criterion; if accurate sexto-diurnal constituents are desired, develop a basic grid using a lambda (for M2)/delta x = 75 criterion. Second, the continental shelf break, slope and toe of the slope require an increased level of resolution, which is obtained by refining the continental slope and vicinity by a factor of approximately four and providing at least 12 to 20 nodes over the continental slope itself. The nodes may be unevenly distributed over the continental slope with an emphasis on resolving changes in the gradient of topography, i.e, the shelf break and the toe of the slope.

Severe flooding occurred on Butler, Spirit, and Little Spirit Creeks causing several roads and dams to be inundated; and limited flooding occurred on the Savannah River in the vicinity of Augusta. Several dams failed along Butler and Spirit Creeks. Flood damage was estimated to be $40 million, and one fatality occurred. High-water elevations were obtained for Butler, Spirit, and Little Spirit Creeks and the Savannah River. Peak discharges were determined at 15 sites using indirect computation methods and established elevation-discharge relations. Computed recurrence intervals of the floods at these sites ranged from 5 years to greater than 100 years.

The planning procedure is divided in two stages and each stage is carried out in several steps: in the first stage the analysis of the cause-effect relationship is performed using an empirical model of nutrient input and resulting water quality response, considering the potential impact of the various watershed management options; in the second stage an ecological mathematical model (Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems) is used for the simulation of water quality parameters at the water intake. The approach was applied to the Bijela Rijeka reservoir in Yugoslavia. The watershed development was defined (pattern of land use, forest management, erosion process abatement, wastewater treatment), in coexistence with drinking water production for water supply of the metropolitan area city of Sarajevo; both the development of the observed area and the required water quality in the reservoir were considered. Sensitivity analyses were carried out by simulating influence of different hydrological conditions (dry, average, and wet years) on the changing water quality in the reservoir. The results showed that the so-called 'nonpoint' pollutants are predominant. The most important source of phosphorus export is found in forests because they cover the largest area. The agricultural land has the highest export coefficient but the smallest share in the total emission of nutrients. Population and livestock (point source pollutants) dominate in the zone of the storage basin and protection zone. The reservoir currently meets the necessary oligotrophic-mesotrophic degree of eutrophication except during the wettest years, and the estimated probability of eutrophication degree indicates that the reservoir will be suitable for water supply of the city of Sarajevo.

Introduced Salmonids such as char (Salvelinus alpinus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.) established strong populations during the first half of this century, but declined drastically thereafter. Likewise, the population of the native shad (Alosa fallax lacustris) has diminished significantly. A hydroacoustic survey of the pelagic fish stock of Lake Lugano in 1989 revealed the presence of a dense bleak (Alburnus albidus) population at 0 to 14 m depth. No other fish were found to be present in the pelagic zone. Oxygen and temperature distributions seem to confine the bleak to the uppermost layer in summer. In winter, very few fish were located by echosounding. Growth of bleak and roach (Rutilus rubilio) was difficult to interpret since data for comparison are lacking. Growth of perch (Perca fluviatilis) in the littoral zone was found to be slower than in other eutrophic lakes, for no obvious reason. After a long period of indiscriminate stocking, the time has come to make decisions regarding the future development of the fish fauna of Lake Lugano. First priority should be given to the rapid restoration of a moderate trophic state that would allow all fish species present to thrive and reproduce in the lake.

The horizontal problem requires the solution of vertically integrated 'external mode' equations whereas the vertical problem requires the solution of 'internal mode' equations describing the vertical transport of momentum and yielding information about the variation of velocity, stress and density over the depth. All the internal mode equations derived to date use a closure assumption to eliminate the shear stress terms, leaving velocity as the dependent variable. Using the direct stress solution (DSS) technique, a numerical solution was obtained for the vertical variation of shear stress, rather than velocity, in a three-dimensional circulation model. This is particularly attractive for modeling circulation in shallow water bodies, since stress typically varies slowly over the depth. The entire water column, including the free surface and bottom boundary layers, can be resolved using relatively few discretizations over the vertical. A DSS formulation has been developed that yields banded system matrices and allows the recovery of velocity from stress to be done simply and in closed form. Results were obtained using the DSS version of the three-dimensional finite element model ADCIRC-3DL for tidally driven circulation in a quarter annular test channel.

It is based on bottom ash composition and laboratory kinetic studies of bottom ash with water. Bottom ash after the quench tank is a reactive mixture in which slow and fast acid/base reactions occur. These intrinsic acid/base reactions continue for at least several months, and the end point is not yet known. The heavy metal concentrations observed in the aqueous extracts reflect primarily the advance of these reactions. Consequently leaching tests based solely on short-term (hours to months) extraction procedures cannot predict the chemical behaviour of bottom ash in monofills. However, laboratory experiments with samples of bottom ash, in which the intrinsic acid/base reactions have proceeded differently, provide useful information on the nature of chemical reactions significant in the short- and long-term.

For field screening, an amount of soil (6 g) is vigorously shaken with 35 ml of methanol. Addition of 2 drops of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide to 3 ml of the decantate results in a pink to purple color, the absorbance at 516 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of the TNT in the soil.

AN - 16687314; 3632957 AB - Bottom sediments in New Bedford Harbor are contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and heavy metals to the extent that the site is considered one of the Nation's worst hazardous waste sites and is being studied by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Superfund program. At the request of EPA, the Corps of Engineers has evaluated the feasibility of dredging and disposal alternatives for the upper estuary of New Bedford, an area where PCB concentrations in the percent levels have been detected in the sediments. Between May 1988 and February 1989 a pilot study was performed as part of this effort. This study involved the evaluation of three hydraulic pipeline dredges with the contaminated sediments being placed in a confined disposal facility and a contained aquatic disposal cell. This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of our approach and the results of this $6.5 million effort. The study provided for a site-specific technical evaluation of the methods used which has allowed the Corps of Engineers to make recommendations to EPA which will be critical in their final evaluation of remedial alternatives for the site.

AN - 16393596; 2869410 AB - Water and sediment samples collected from the Lake Ontario system were analyzed for mirex and photomirex. Photomirex to mirex ratios (P/M) increased in the stratified surface layer of the lake from spring to autumn and in water from Oswego harbor. P/M ratios in the mirex source sediments (the Niagara and Oswego rivers) were very low ( 0.10) and surface waters (> 0.30). The ratios in the St. Lawrence sediment and water were greater than 0.30. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that photomirex in Lake Ontario is produced by the photolysis of mirex present in the surface waters. It is then partitioned between the water, sediments and biota.

The procedure used the concept of hydraulic availability to arrive at an optimization method for component dimensions. As a measure of system reliability, hydraulic and mechanical availability were combined in a form which defined the proportion of time during which the system would perform its functions satisfactorily. A nonlinear optimization model incorporating availability and using a network solver for the implicit solution of hydraulic constraints produced results showing an increasing marginal cost as levels of availability increased.

Hydroxyl radical production AN - 13714898; 199201899 AB - The formation of hydroxyl radicals in the photolysis of aqueous chlorine was studied by observing the fate of the probe molecules chlorobutane and nitrobenzene. These reacted with hydroxyl radicals but were resistant to photolysis and chlorine. Acetate and 1-octanol were employed as scavengers. The possibility of the chlorine radical being a rate-determining oxidant was unlikely. Hydroxyl radical yields were greater at low pH values where hypochlorous acid was the predominant species. At pH 5, a 7 times greater concentration of hydroxyl radicals was produced by photolysis at 255 nm than at pH values above 8. The chlorination of lake water, both irradiated and in the dark, produced less chloroform under the former conditions. This implied that the hydroxyl radical and other aqueous chlorine photolysis products did not generate haloforms. (see also preceeding abstract).

Aqueous chlorine was a mixture of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion. The most effective solar wavelength was 330 nm. Half life increased as pH fell. For solar radiation of 1.05 kW per m2, the half life in a flat water body was 12 minutes at pH 8 and 1 h at pH 6. Photolysis declined with depth, the effect being most marked in surface waters whose organic components adsorbed radiation. Pseudo first order rate constants for hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion were 0.0002 and 0.0012 per second, respectively. UV radiation at 255 nm photolysed both species at comparable rates but slowly enough not to be significant when UV disinfection was employed with a chlorine residual. Where it was important to maintain chlorine concentrations in exposed waters, they should be deep and protected from sunlight as much as possible. (see also following abstract).

Trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloropropene (DCPE), 1-chloropentane (CPA), and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCA) were used as model compounds. The direct reaction between substrates and ozone predominated at lower pH, which resulted in the efficient oxidation of the olefin, DCPE. At higher pH, ozonation resulted in more efficient oxidation of the chlorinated alkanes, with a corresponding decrease in the efficiency of DCPE oxidation. Consistent results were observed for ozone/hydrogen peroxide and ozone/UV treatment. Due to slow UV-induced decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, the process using hydrogen peroxide/UV (254 nm) resulted in very slow oxidation of all 4 compounds. The total ozone requirement to achieve a given degree of elimination (to 37 per cent of the original concentration), was used to assess the combined effects of the direct and indirect reactions for different types of waters.

The U.S. EPA was expected to propose a regulatory level of 5 ug bromate per litre, on the evidence of the formation of kidney tumours in rats at higher levels, but might be persuaded to set a level of 0.5 ug per litre. The mechanism of bromate formation is outlined, and the influences of pH, ozone exposure (time/concentration), and the presence of ammonia at various concentrations in the water are then examined. In the absence of ammonia, and with a typical ozone exposure of 4 mg per minute.litre, the dominant factor in bromate production would be pH; values between pH 7-9 were used in the prediction calculations. Above pH 8, difficulty would be found in meeting the 5 ug per litre regulatory value in some natural waters, given their initial bromide concentrations, but below pH 8 little difficulty would be found. At the lower regulatory level, however, many waters would pose difficulties at the levels of pH used in practical water treatment. The presence of ammonia would delay the formation of bromate, the length of delay being greater, and the production of bromate smaller, with declining pH. For a given ammonia value, the lag-time of bromate formation at a constant ozone exposure would depend on the initial bromide value, the delay increasing as that value declined. The ammonia-induced lag might make the ozonation of water possible which would fail the 5 ug per litre regulatory value. The kinetics-based predictions to agreed reasonably with experiments conducted previously on spiked waters, but neither the influence of hydroxyl radicals produced during ozonation nor the effects of the presence of brominated organic compounds were considered.

For the application of this model kinetic parameters and wastewater composition must be known. A simple method to estimate kinetic parameters of heterotrophic biomass and COD wastewater fractions is presented. With 3 different types of batch-tests these parameters and fractions could be determined by measuring oxygen respiration. The maximal specific growth rate of heterotrophic biomass depended on temperature, reactor configuration and SRT. In typical wastewater treatment plants of Switzerland the amount of readily biodegradable substrate was generally small (about 9 per cent of the COD in primary effluent).

The results depended on the frequency distributions of wave amplitude, reflection coefficient and reflection-induced phase shift. The derived linear relationship was tested for the case of a perfectly-reflecting vertical wall situated on a flat bottom. Good agreement between measured and predicted velocities was obtained for most wave conditions, though the method overestimated velocities by almost 11 per cent in the case of very shallow water.

Zurich-Glatt and Wattwil were partly nitrifying treatment plants and Zurich-Werdholzli was fully nitrifying. The mixing characteristics of the aeration tanks at Werdholzli and Glatt were determined with sodium bromide as a tracer. The experimental data were used to calibrate hydrolysis, heterotrophic growth and nitrification. Problems arising by calibrating hydrolysis of the particulate material and by measuring oxygen consumption of heterotrophic and nitrifying microorganisms are discussed. For hydrolysis the experimental data indicated first-order kinetics. For nitrification a maximal growth rate of 0.40 plus or minus 0.07 per d, corresponded to an observed growth rate of 0.26 plus or minus 0.04 per d was calculated at 10C. The half velocity constant found for 12 and 20C was 2 mg ammonium nitrogen per litre. The calibrated model was verified with experimental data from the Zurich-Werdholzli treatment plant during ammonia shock load.

The effects of varying the relative energy in each wave train, the proximity of the frequency peaks, and the total wave energy were investigated. Wave gauge measurements showed that linear superposition of single-peaked wave trains or lumping all energy into the dominant wave train were unsatisfactory methods of representing multiple wave trains. The wave train with a low-frequency peak was shown to dominate in the surf zone, while its waves appeared unaffected by the second wave train.

By 1 method, which was based on professional experience and expertise, the unknown parameter values were determined 1 after the other by a sequential procedure. By the other method, the parameter values were determined simultaneously by use of a mathematical optimization technique. Both methods gave a good fit for 25 experimental oxygen respiration rate time-series and yielded accurate estimates of the model parameters. The sequential procedure could readily be employed for the evaluation of single experiments. The optimization technique was more suitable for the evaluation of larger data sets and allowed for additional analysis of the data.

A biokinetic competition model for floc-foaming micro-organisms and these 3 filamentous organisms was developed, which could explain bulking phenomena. Bulking was affected not only by reactor configuration, presence of readily biodegradable substrate, and temperature, but also by the presence of slowly biodegradable substrate in the influent and the inoculating biomass. The performance of primary sedimentation tanks was important in determining whether or not sludge bulking would occur.

High frequency sounds between 110 and 140 kHz at sound pressure levels (SPL) above 180 dB (at 1.0 m from the transducer) and at various pulse widths gave statistically significant avoidance responses, the optimal frequency being between 120 and 130 kHz. Outside this frequency range the vigour of the avoidance response diminished considerably. Low-frequency sounds between 0.1 and 1 kHz at SPL of 160-175 dB (at 1.0 m from the transducer) gave only short-term startle responses. Field evaluations at Richard B. Russell dam on the Savannah river at the Georgia-South Carolina border showed that a single high-frequency transducer remitting 124.6-130.9 kHz sounds at an SPL of 187 or 200 dB (at 1.0 m) partially repelled A. aestivalis that were approximately 60 m away from the transducer for up to 1 h. Thus electronically produced high-frequency sounds could be used to divert A. aestivalis from areas of entrainment.

Whitefish eggs were sampled just before late winter hatching and the proportion of viable eggs in the total number determined. Trophic state, in terms of total phosphorus concentration in springtime, was the primary factor determining successful in-situ embryogenesis, rather than the hypolimnetic oxygen concentration. This was attributed to the production-related oxygen uptake of the sediment which created an oxygen gradient of varying steepness in the diffusive boundary layer.

To analyse what, where and when multipurpose projects were needed, the federal government hired economists, geographers and political scientists. Planning' became the the watchword, and by 1965 that activity occupied a sizeable number of social and physical scientists in the federal government. Since passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, with its requirement for environmental impact statements, natural scientists also have become an important part of water resources planning, for they must determine both immediate and long-term environmental impacts. The net result of these changes is that the role of the engineer has changed in the planning process. This, in turn, has contributed to changes in organizational culture and focus. This article examines and evaluates the evolving water resources planning process and shows how that process has affected professional and organization relationships, the design of water projects, and the theory of water management.

This type of seiche showed high amplitudes because of resonance with the diurnal wind and dominated the first vertical mode. The periods and velocity distribution of the various modes were simulated using an extension of Mortimer's two-layer model and a continuous stratification model. The period of the second vertical mode depended strongly on the thickness of the metalimnion. The vertical variation of the horizontal velocity was used to determine local gradient Richardson numbers and relate them to the vertical eddy diffusivity.

The flooding in a 50 mile network of freight tunnels, caused by river seeping through a breach in the tunnel, had closed down critical utility services in the city. The Chicago loop flooding was declared a national disaster which automated the Federal Emergency Management Agency to divert the federal response and the work by the Corps of Engineers.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-12 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRIDGE OVER LAKE OAHE, SIOUX AND EMMONS COUNTIES, NORTH DAKOTA. AN - 36407558; 3394 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bridge across Lake Oahe on the Missouri River is proposed to connect Sioux and Emmons counties, North Dakota. The bridge would be located approximately midway between Bismarck, North Dakota and Mobridge, South Dakota. Construction of the Lake Oahe project in 1958 created a transportatiaon barrrier to traffic in south-central North Dakota. No bridge crossings exist along the 100-mile stretch of the river between Bismarck and Mobridge. Three alternative alignment corridors are under consideration. The preferred alignment (D-3) was developed to avoid a significant archaeological site on the east side of the lake, as well as sacred Native American sites on the west side of the lake. The alignment would extend approximately 6.13 miles. The bridge and associated causeways would be constructed entirely within a geologic slump area, reducing the amount of future stability problems that would be expected to occur in association with bridges within the other corridors. Bridge length would be 3,020 feet, while the east and west causeways would extend 2,000 feet and 650 feet, respectively. The estimated cost of the project is $38.15 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: East-west travel within the corridor between Bismarck and Mobridge would be enhanced significantly. The bridge would reduce the effects of Lake Oahe on the infrastructure of south-central North Dakota. Economic development and cultural interaction within the region would be fostered. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe would benefit from tax income, employment opportunities, cultural advantages, land use access, and opportunities for additional economic development. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction on the preferred alignment would increase the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation significantly. Approximately 288 acres of native prairie would be affected in the short term, and long-term impacts would occur on 19 acres. Regionally significant impacts would include the loss of 7 acres of woodlands, 23 acres of palustrine/riverine/lacustrine wetlands, and 10 acres of prime farmlands. A total of 17 landowners would be affected. Landowner opposition could be a factor affecting development within the selected corridor.

Preparation date: December 30, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CURWENSVILLE LAKE REALLOCATION STUDY, CLEARFIELD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36406348; 3396 AB - PURPOSE: Reallocation of water stored in Curwensville Lake in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania is proposed to meet the consumptive use needs in the Susquehanna River basin. The lake is located on the West Branch Susquehanna River, 10 miles upstream of the borough of Clearfield. Curwensville dam consists of a rolled, earthfill dam with a maximum height of 131 feet and a top elevation of 1,257 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). The dam is 2,850 feet long and 25 feet wide at the top. The spillway is an excavated chute, ungated structure with a concrete control sill located in a natural saddle. With the projects general objectives of flood control, conservation storage, and water supply in mind, the reservoir is regulated with a winter pool of 1,155 feet NGVD from December 1 through May 1. At this elevation, the lake covers 540 acres, has a conservation storage of 4,900 acre-feet, and provides 119,300 acre-feet of flood control storage. In early May, the lake is filled to the summer pool elevation of 1,162 feet NGVD. At this level, the lake covers 790 acres, has 9,540 acre-feet of conservation storage, and provides a flood control storage volume of 114,600 acre-feet. Drawdown to the winter pool occurs at the end of November each year. The Susquehanna River Basin Commission's consumptive use make-up regulation requires new consumptive water users in the basin to provide make-up water during low flow conditions or, alternatively, to reduce the amount of their consumptive use. A feasibility study focusing on Curwensville Lake, initiated in December 1989, identified six potential water users and their consumptive water requirements. Nearly 4,800 acre-feet of make-up storage was identified. Extensive efforts were undertaken to identify the reservoir release scenarios associated with these consumptive users. For the maximum release scenario, water supply releases would be required in 21 of 75 years of historical record. Following the identification of water supply needs, several storage reallocation plans were formulated. Two levels, 2,560 and 5,360 acre-feet, were considered representative of possible storage needs. Two types of storage reallocation were considered in detail, namely, conservation and flood control storage. All plans considered would maintain a constant year-round pool for environmental and recreational mitigation purposes. Under the recommended plan, known as Zero-Rise Plan 2, 5,360 acre-feet of water supply storage would be reallocated from the existing conservation pool. The lake would be maintained at a permanent pool elevation of 1,162 feet NGVD, while providing 5,360 acre-feet of water supply storage. There would be no seasonal drawdown for winter flood protection purposes; the lake's surface area would cover 790 acres, creating a shoreline of approximately 19 miles. The project would provide 114,490 acre-feet of flood control storage year-round. The total conservation storage at elevation 1,162 NGVD would amount to 9,540 acre-feet, with 5,360 acre-feet dedicated to water supply storage and 4,180 feet dedicated to conservation/sediment storage. Releases from the reservoir during most months would generally equal inflow, except during flood control storage or water supply releases. Total construction costs of the project modifications for this plan are estimated at approximately $1.6 million. Average annual costs of $603,000 are estimated for the modifications and operation and maintenance requirements. The estimated benefit-cost ratio of the plan is 8.58. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing for downstream user needs, the plan would generally benefit aquatic and terrestrial resources. Average annual benefits would be worth approximately $5.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse impacts would be limited. Drawdowns would only occur every three to four years and would be limited, with one exception over the entire period of record, to a maximum of less than 3.0 feet; a recurrence of the 1930-1931 drought of record would result in a drawdown of slightly more than 8.0 feet. Most drawdowns would occur during the late summer and fall, with a maximum drawdown of only 1.6 feet occurring during the recreational season ending on Labor Day. Sediment deposits in headwater areas of the pool would increase during the spring, resulting in a slight increase in nutrient loadings in the reservoir. A minor increase in dissolved oxygen depression could occur within the year-round pool due to increased biological activity.

Preparation date: December 27, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TIJUANA ESTUARY TIDAL RESTORATION PROGRAM, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36394572; 3340 AB - PURPOSE: Restoration of the Tijuana Tidal Estuary Reserve of southern California is proposed. The Tijuana River basin has a watershed area of approximately 1,700 square miles, with 455 square miles lying in the United States and 1,245 square miles lying in Mexico. The river is formed by the confluence of the Rio de las Palmas and Rio Alamar rivers in Mexico and then flows for 17 miles to the Pacific Ocean. The Tijuana River crosses the border just north of the city of Tijuana, Baja California, approximately five miles from the mouth of the estuary. The estuary reserve is located in a Mediterranean-type climate that has rainfall and runoff restricted to brief periods within the cooler seasons. Climate in the area is characterized by high interannual variations in rainfall and runoff. The project area includes the lower Tijuana River Valley that lies in the United States. The tidal prism has decreased from 1,550 acre-feet in 1952 to 290 acre-feet in 1989. In 1852, the tidally influenced portion of the estuary was approximately 870 acres compared to the current 330 acres of intertidal wetlands. The 1852 tidal slough channels extended into the estuary over 3,000 feet east, 5,000 feet north, and 2,000 feet south of the tidal inlet. While these tidal channels still extend into the same portions of the estuary, the northern channel is migrating eastward into the erosion-resistant headland and the southern channels are constricted due to sedimentation. The mouth of the estuary has shrunk from 1,000 feet in 1852 to 100 feet at present. The program would begin with a model project consisting of constructing a 20-acre experimental marsh, widening a portion of Oneonta Slough, and constructing a channel to connect Oneonta Slough with the tidal lagoons. The full tidal restoration program would consist of restoring an additional 495 acres of tidal marsh and implementing related actions. To ensure that the proposed project results in maximum restoration benefits and minimal adverse environmental impacts, implementation would be phased on the basis of a carefully designed adaptive management monitoring protocol and design review process. The 495-acre restoration project would be implemented as a series of modules. Adaptive management begins by recognizing what is unknown or too variable to be predicted; it involves a process whereby alternatives can be suggested and tested and small-scale projects can be implemented and evaluated prior to undertaking full-scale projects. The management activities for which results are uncertain become the experimental treatments of a pilot program. Results of initial experiments or trials are then evaluated to select the approach for later projects. Inherent in adaptive management is the need for long-term ecosystem-level monitoring. The 495-acre restoration project would include tidal marsh restoration features, construction of a river training structure, sand dune stabilization, and riparian ecosystem restoration. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program implementation would provide measures to define and assure the long-term protection of the Tijuana estuary ecosystem. A key element in the restoration project would be to return the estuary to an earlier historic state when tidal flushing was self-maintaining. Another important effect of the program would be to develop a restoration plan that is based on what has been learned about the estuary's historic condition and what can be achieved under existing constraints. Residual benefits would redound to water quality, biological resources, cultural resources, land use, transportation and circulation, aesthetics, and recreation resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 495-acre restoration project could result in significant adverse impacts to water quality and biological resources. Increases in tidal volume would increase salinity in upstream waters of the Tijuana River. Increased salinity, coupled with the elimination of surface water flow in the river, could negatively affect the willow-dominated riparian habitat of the endangered least bell's vireo. Salinity of groundwater could also increase substantially. Small portions of marsh habitat would be displaced due to slough widening, and excavation of the marsh under the 495-acre restoration project would affect 252 acres of transitional habitat, 152 acres of disturbed lands, 14 acres of mulefat-dominated riparian habitat, 37 acres of salt marsh/salt panne habitat, and 35 acres of mixed transition/disturbed habitat. Berm and levee construction would affect small parcels of a variety of habitats. An erodible berm or rip-rap levee would substantially change the existing topography. An increase in surface water elevations during flood episodes could result from the river training structure. Archaeological resources also could be disturbed, and the project would result in losses in agricultural production adjacent to the reserve. Recreational use of a portion of the estuary would be limited by development of the marsh and resource use restrictions.

Preparation date: December 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ARKABUTLA LAKE, ENID LAKE, GRENADA LAKE, AND SARDIS LAKE, MISSISSIPPI (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1978). AN - 36410692; 3392 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of channel restoration from river mile 225.9 to river mile 234.8 on the Tallahatchie River and river mile 0.8 to river mile 12.2 on the Yalobusha River in northwest Mississippi is proposed in this final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of August 1978 on the operation and maintenance of Arkabutla, Enid, Grenada, and Sardis lakes. Channel excavation extends from river mile 0.8, just upstream of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Bridge, to mile 12.2, just downstream of the Avalon Bridge in Leflore County. The channel excavation was continuous, except for no-work reaches within 500 feet (upstream and downstream) of the Whaley and Avalon bridges. Riprap protection was provided from a point 50 feet upstream to a point 50 feet downstream of the bridges. Dredging was performed by draglines to excavate an 80-foot-wide channel bottom with 1 vertical on 3 horizontal side slopes. The work was accomplished on alternating sides of the stream to avoid environmentally sensitive areas. Excavated material was placed on top of existing excavated material containment areas with gaps left in the material to provide for interior drainage. Equipment access and an area on which to place the excavated material required clearing of a 300-foot-wide strip along the top bank of the work reach. This supplemental EIS resulted from litigation initiated by the state of Mississippi against the project when it was 50 percent complete; it addresses the impacts associated with operation and maintenance of the outlet channels from all four of the lakes discussed in the final EIS. In 1989, a decision was made to supplement the final EIS and to include the outlet channels from all four of the lakes of the Yazoo Headwater Project in the supplemental EIS. It was determined during the scoping process that by completing maintenance work on a segment of the Tallahatchie River (river mile 225.8 to river mile 234.8) and the Yalobusha River (river mile 0.8 to river mile 12.2), the desired flood control operating capacity of the Yazoo Headwater Project could be accomplished. It was, therefore, decided to limit the study to the impacts of these two maintenance projects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flooding along the channelized reach of the river would decline substantially, reducing damage to property and potential health and safety hazards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 295 acres, including 41 acres of wetlands, would be directly impacted by the clearing operation required to allow for access to the dredged material disposal areas. Bottomland hardwoods constitute most of the nonwetland area cleared. Dredging effects, particularly turbidity, alter the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of the stream during dredging operations. Reduction of seasonal flooding and direct destruction of wetlands would reduce habitat for wintering waterfowl.

Preparation date: December 19, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HOLLISTER BYPASS: STATE ROUTE 156 FROM UNION/MITCHELL ROAD TO 0.4 MILE EAST OF SANTA ANA CREEK BRIDGE IN AND NEAR HOLLISTER, SAN BENITO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36411130; 3365 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bypass in and near the city of Hollister is proposed in San Benito County, California. The project would begin approximately 3.5 miles west of downtown Hollister, at the Union /Mitchell Road/Route 156 intersection, and end some 4.5 miles north of downtown near the San Felipe Road/Route 156 intersection, bypassing approximately 8.0 miles of the existing state route. The new facility would be a two-lane, limited-access expressway on new alignment, essentially bypassing Hollister to the north and west of town. It would consist of a paved section 40 feet wide with two 8-foot shoulders. A 175-foot rights-of-way would be purchased for eventual construction of a four-lane facility. Signalized intersections would be provided where the alignment departs from and rejoins existing State Route (SR) 156 at SR 25. The project would include a multiple-span concrete overhead bridge across the San Benito River and a concrete overhead bridge across the Southern Pacific Railroad. The preferred alignment would depart from the existing highway at the city sewage treatment plant and rejoin it north of the airport. Noise control features could be provided to mitigate noise levels for five residences. The estimated cost of the project is $20.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass would provide a means for through traffic and large trucks to circumvent the downtown area of Hollister, relieving congestion in the downtown area and enhancing long-distance travel in the region. Noise, air pollutants, and other nuisances and safety hazards associated with traffic congestion in the downtown area would be alleviated. Transportation needs of the community would be met within the SR 156 corridor over the next 20 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 163 acres of land, including 116 acres of farmlands and 2 residences; 300 square feet of wetlands associated with Santa Ana Creek would lie within project rights-of-way. A strip of riparian vegetation along the San Benito River would also be impacted. Without mitigation, six residences would be exposed to excessive noise levels due to traffic on the new bypass. Visual impacts would result from the proximity of the facility to a sewage treatment plant and noise control barriers.

AN - 36407447; 3404 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a lock replacement at Winfield Locks and Dam, Kanawha River near Eleanor, Putnam County, West Virginia is proposed. The Winfield Locks and Dam Facility is located at Kanawha River Mile 31.1, approximately 27 miles downstream of Charleston. The preferred alternative would add an additional lock at the existing project site, continue to use the riverward lock, and deactivate the present landward lock. The lock would be 800 feet by 110 feet. Channel widening downstream from the existing Winfield project also is recommended as part of the improvement plan. Mitigation measures include on-site, in-kind replacement of a stream, 21 acres of wetland habitat, and 60 acres of high quality farmland. The plan would require acquisition of approximately 36 acres of land for construction of the lock and approaches and another 145 acres for the disposal of excavated material. Facilities to safely accommodate the public would also be included in the plan. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) addresses realignment of the proposed new lock. The realignment was determined to be necessary as a result of hyrdraulic modeling studies which indicated that the alignment proposed in the final EIS would result in unsatisfactory navigational conditions at high river stages. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The key effect of the new lock would be the virtual elimination of waiting tows outside the project approach areas. This beneficial impact would effectively end the recurring disturbance of nearshore habitat by moored tows waiting for passage through the facility. Safety would be improved due to efficient movement of traffic and minimization of congestion. The site would be managed as a wildlife area by the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Losses of streams, wildlife habitat, wetlands, a small pond, and prime farmland due to disposal of excavated material would be mitigated. Construction of the new lock under the currently proposed design and alignment would foreclose alternative uses on approximately 338 acres as opposed to the 203 acres that would have been affected by the originally proposed lock. Archaeological sites would be impacted. Families occupying mobile and modular homes would be displaced. The lock would result in some minor adverse impacts to small streams and the Kanawha River.

REMR information on underwater concrete placement techniques, installation of anchors, and stay-in-place forms enabled engineers to provide a durable and cost-effective repair. Gavins Point Dam, located on the Missouri River near Yankton, SD, is the smallest of the six Missouri River main stem dams. Diving inspections identified concrete spalling at the top of the powerhouse foundation, at the downstream edge of the draft tube portals where they interfaced with the tailrace slab. The main goals of repairing the concrete spalled areas and filling the void areas were obvious. However, the selection of construction techniques and materials required further study. The two basic construction techniques applicable to this repair were in-the-dry and underwater. The underwater repair consisted of cleaning drummy rock and loose, semidetached or unsound fragments from the spalled concrete, positioning pre-placed aggregate covered by anchored steel or pre-cast concrete units, and filling voids in the aggregate by injecting grout through pipes in the steel plates or pre-cast concrete units. The same method was used to fill voids under the tailrace slab. All work was done by divers. The contractor completed the project 3-1/2 days early. To meet this schedule, the contractor went through every procedural step with his crews on land so that the only variable would be the underwater aspects. Cement grout was prepackaged to assure proper proportioning. The contractor had several diving crews that allowed him to work 24 hr a day.

Substantial leakages, soft and porous rock, and large solution cavities have been observed from the initial construction to the present time. Plans to rehabilitate the locks included plugging the downstream boil and subsequent grouting of the flow channels connecting it with the subsided slab. The broken slab was to be removed and replaced. A necessary step in performing the rehabilitation was delineating the flow channels in the subsurface. A single-channel acoustic emission (AE) counting system was used to make a gridded survey of the lock floor. The survey resulted in a systematic pattern of variations in acoustic activity intensity that could be rationalized with AE generation by subfloor turbulent water flow. The AE system was set to particular control parameters and left unchanged throughout the survey. 'EVENTS' were counted rather than cumulative peaks of cyclical events. The AE signal discriminator was set to 'AUTO' to automatically vary the minimum amplitude of a signal required to define it as an AE event. The 'GAIN' was set at a total of 92 db after observation of the lowest gain detecting AE (60 db) and the highest gain that discriminated against ambient noise. The transducer was manually pressed against the concrete surface. An arbitrary counting period of 10 sec was selected for the accumulation of detected AE events in each reading. Ten separate readings were taken at each grid location. The uniformity of reading magnitudes at each particular point was one of the criteria used to judge an acceptable coupling of transducer to concrete. The gridded survey indicates regions of high acoustic activity closest to the large leakage entry hole, in discontinuous regions downstream that are located near the wall footings, and along two linear regions approaching the sill structure and subparallel to the lock. These are interpreted presently as turbulent flow paths where much water energy is expended near the bottom of the floor slab. If the assumptions of the nature of subfloor conditions causing the rest of the patterns in AE activity are correct, then there is a possibility of a flow channel approaching the foundation of the upstream gate structure of Lock 3.

Since reinforcing steel performs a specific function in concrete structures, proper positioning of reinforcement is essential. Quality assurance parameters include depth of embedment, size, location, and spacing. Devices that detect embedded steel can be used to verify compliance with design specifications throughout construction. Before rehabilitation of an existing structure is begun, the structure must be evaluated to determine the scope of the rehabilitation for the estimation of repair costs. The evaluation and rehabilitation may require coring, grinding, resurfacing, and anchor installation. Such work requires the identification of areas free of embedded steel. If as-built construction drawings detailing information on the location of the embedded reinforcement are not available, a detection device capable of providing the information would be a valuable tool. A variety of steel-reinforcing detection devices are available commercially. All can be separated into two classes: the less expensive non-microcomputer-based systems and the microprocessor-based systems. Two laboratory specimens were fabricated to simulate the parameters of the field concrete structures, particularly the depth, spacing, and diameter of the embedded reinforcing bars. Initially, detection devices with and without microprocessor-based systems were used. To evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of the microprocessor-based detector, 30 measurements were taken. The mean offset from the actual centerline in this evaluation was determined to be +/-0.081 in. The standard deviation was determined to be +/-0.047 in. Even though there was a 67% probability that each reading would fall below the sum of the mean and the standard deviation, the degree of accuracy was within the required specified accuracy limit of +/-0.125 in.

AN - 36407289; 3314 AB - PURPOSE: Development of the Army Engineer Proving Ground (EPG) at Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Virginia is proposed. The study site is an 820-acre parcel of government-owned land at the EPG, which would be developed in cooperation with private developer(s). The Army's initial office space needs would be 700,000 square feet; however, it would ultimately require as much as 3.1 million square feet (s.f.) of office space over the next 10 to 15 years. Twelve preconceptual development scenarios were established to describe the general range of development options for the site. The development scenarios covered a range of densities from a flood area density (FAR) of 0.20 to 0.65, and each density scenario was further defined to cover varying mixes of private development, including commercial, office, and support retail; residential; and hotel/service and support uses. Under the preferred alternative, the site would be developed to support a mix of office/support retail, residential, and hotel/conference/other service and support uses at an average density FAR of 0.55. The complex would include 3.1 million s.f. of Army office space, 4.9 million s.f. of private office/support retail space, 1.6 million s.f. of hotel/conference and service/support space, and 5,600 residential (private sector) units. Anticipated development at the EPG site would occur on approximately 474 acres of developable land. Approximately 217 acres would be allocated to an Environmental Quality Corridor (EQC) along Accotink Creek. The corridor is designated by Fairfax County for protecting environmentally sensitive lands usually associated with stream valleys. Wetlands/hydric soils are located on approximately 23 acres of land outside the EQC at different areas throughout the site. The remaining 202 acres would be allocated to the development of infrastructure such as roads and stormwater drainage systems. The Army development would reuse the area of the site currently used for vehicular testing and office space in the northeastern segment of the EPG. Development would be phased over a 15- to 20-year period. Construction of the Army's needed office space would be phased between 1993 and 2005. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Army currently leases approximately 3.0 million s.f. of private office space in Washington, D.C. at a direct lease cost of approximately $43.0 million annually. If development rights to the Fort Belvoir EPG can be negotiated for Army office space, significant savings in lease costs would be realized. The development would help the Army implement a congressional mandate to reduce its inventory of leased space in the National Capital Region. An opportunity for Fairfax County to extend the Accotink Stream Valley Park, consistent with the county's trail plan, would be provided. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The visual character of the site would change, and trees would be removed. Traffic volumes on the highway network surrounding the site and waste generated at the site would increase significantly. Two bridge crossings of Accotink Creek would be required. Clearing of vegetation outside the 217-acre EQC would result in some loss of natural habitat. New community facilities, including schools, could be necessary to accommodate full build-out of the site.

AN - 36403309; 3385 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of facilities associated with the implementation of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project (SRFCP) of California is proposed. The SRFCP consists of approximately 1,000 miles of levees and associated structures, including overflow weirs, pumping plants, and bypass channels designed to protect municipal and agricultural lands in the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The study area includes the Sacramento River and its tributaries from Red Bluff to Collinsville. Included in the study area are portions of the American, Feather, Yuba, and Bear rivers, Yolo and Sutter bypasses, and other minor tributaries. The study area has been divided into five phases: the Sacramento urban area (phase I); the Marysville/Yuba City area (phase II); the Mid-Valley area (phase III); the Lower Sacramento area (phase IV); the Upper Sacramento area (phase v). This proposal covers phases II through V. The discussion is general in scope since further, detailed analysis will be performed for each phase of the study. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 would involve constructing drainage improvements at or near the landward toe of the levee embankment. Alternative 2 would raise the existing levee embankment, primarily on the landward side, in those reaches that do not have the minimum required design freeboard above the design water surface elevation. Alternative 3 would be a combination of Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Alternative 4 would construct a cutoff wall, which would create a barrier to the movement of water through the levee and foundation and prevent piping of the levee or foundation material. Alternative 5 would construct drainage improvements and stabilizing the berm at the landward levee toe. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Inadequate flood protection for farmlands and communities within the study area would be improved to allow for safe and economically efficient use of urban and rural lands. Potential health problems associated with periodic flooding would be prevented. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee construction would displace vegetation, farmlands, and urban land.

Preparation date: November 25, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DELAWARE RIVER COMPREHENSIVE NAVIGATION STUDY: MAIN CHANNEL DEEPENING, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA TO DELAWARE BAY (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1990). AN - 36395177; 3397 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of navigation improvements along the Delaware River from the Beckett Street Terminal in Camden, New Jersey through Philadelphia Harbor, Pennsylvania to deep water in the Delaware Bay off Delaware, a distance of approximately 102.5 miles, is proposed. Channel widths currently range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 1,000 feet in the bay. Throughout Philadelphia Harbor, the channel is 40 feet deep on the west side and 37 feet deep on the east side. Widening has been provided for at critical bends. There are 19 anchorages on the Delaware River; all but 6 are natural deep-water anchorages. The project includes 12 training dikes to reduce shoaling in the channel and anchorages or to minimize dredging and disposal costs. The currently recommended plan would provide for a two-way, full width channel of variable widths, with a depth of 45 feet below mean low water and an allowable dredging overdepth of 2 feet. The channel side slopes would be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. Channel dimensions below the Walt Whitman Bridge are based on a 160,000-dead-weight-ton (DWT) tanker with a length of 931 feet, a beam of 145 feet, and an operating draft of 45 feet. The design vessel for Philadelphia Harbor and the Beckett Street Terminal access would be a 100,000-DWT dry bulk vessel with a length of 830 feet and beam of 128 feet. The selected channel dimensions would allow for navigation practices similar to existing conditions that allow full use of the tide range by inbound vessels. The channel width would range from 400 feet in Philadelphia Harbor to 800 feet from the Philadelphia Navy Yard to Bombay Hook and then 1,000 feet in Delaware Bay. The plan would include all appropriate bend widening and provide a two-space anchorage of compatible depth at the Marcus Hook anchorage. The project would also include utility relocations at two locations, aids to navigation, and lands, easements, rights-of-way, and disposal areas as necessary for initial construction and maintenance of the project. Initially, the project would require dredging of 50.1 million cubic yards; annual maintenance dredging would amount to 756,000 cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the navigational channels along the Delaware River would allow use by deep-draft vessels with full cargoes. Harbor safety and efficiency would be enhanced simultaneously with easing the movement of goods into and from markets along the Eastern Seaboard. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic organisms would be destroyed in dredged areas and in areas affected by dredged material disposal. Removal of approximately 420,000 cubic yards of rock from the river channel would adversely affect the aquatic environment; use of explosives would be required for rock removal. Deepening of the channel would promote upstream movement of saline water.

Preparation date: November 25, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ROUTE 87 FREEWAY UPGRADING PROJECT BETWEEN JULIAN STREET AND US 101 IN THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36403056; 3367 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of State Route (SR) 87 between Julian Street and US 101 in the city of San Jose, Santa Clara County, California is proposed. The 3.1-mile segment of SR 87, known as the Guadalupe Parkway, is currently a four-lane expressway with at-grade signalized intersections at Airport Parkway, West Hedding Street, Mission Street, and Taylor Street. The project would involve widening this segment of the expressway to six lanes. Existing at-grade intersections would be replaced with grade separation structures and/or interchanges, which would upgrade the expressway to freeway status. The project would also include replacing the existing SR 87 bridge over I-880 and widening the existing SR 87 bridges over Coleman Avenue so as to accommodate the upgraded facility. The project would extend Skyport Drive to Airport Boulevard under one of the design options and construct a frontage/local circulation road along the east side of the freeway to connect West Hedding Street with Market Street. Finally, the project would include minor widening and realignment of North San Pedro Street between West Taylor and West Hedding streets to improve traffic circulation in the Civic Center area. Two of the proposed six lanes would be operated as high-occupancy vehicle lanes during peak commuting hours. Interchange on-ramps would be designed to provide for ramp metering, including a bypass of metering lights for carpools and buses as well as sufficient room for metering enforcement by police. South of I-880, two design variations are under consideration. These two design variations involve different vertical profiles of the proposed freeway. One alternative would construct the freeway at essentially the existing ground level (i.e., at-grade), while the other would elevate the freeway through this area. The elevated profile would involve placement of the freeway on fill or structures or a combination of both. For the access to and from San Jose International Airport, two options are under consideration. One design, known as the Skyport Urban Interchange, would provide for airport-related traffic at the Skyport Drive urban interchange. Traffic flowing between the airport and SR 87 would cross the Guadalupe River on the proposed Skyport Drive bridge, tying into Airport Boulevard on the west side of the river. Under this option, there would be no access between SR 87 and Airport Parkway, which would be grade separated. The other design related to airport access would use a looped roadway system to access the airport from SR 87. Travelers would exit SR 87 at Skyport Drive to enter the airport and would enter SR 87 via Airport Parkway when departing the airport; Skyport Drive, an existing cul de sac located east of the Guadalupe Parkway, would not be extended to connect with upgraded SR 87. Depending on the alternative chosen, the estimated cost of the project, in 1990 dollars, ranges from $120.6 million to $145.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would complete the only missing freeway segment of the SR 87 corridor, which extends from US 101 on the north to SR 85 on the south. Existing congestion within the study segment would be relieved, and anticipated increases in traffic would be accommodated. Travelers moving between the large residential areas in southern San Jose and the commercial and industrial employment areas in northern Santa Clara County would be served more effectively. The redevelopment of downtown San Jose and expansion of the airport would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the loss of riparian habitat and displacement of 79 households and the Women's Residential Center, as well as 7.0 to 7.8 acres of riparian habitat. From 0.08 to 0.27 acre of parkland and 279 to 397 parking spaces would be displaced. A high-voltage transmission line would have to be replaced. Traffic-generated noise within the corridor would increase substantially, and the separation structures would impinge on visual aesthetics. The project could involve moderate encroachment into the Guadalupe River floodplain if the project is completed prior to completion of the Guadalupe River Flood Control Project.

AN - 36407024; 3387 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a shoreline protection project along the coast of Manatee County, Florida is proposed. This second final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of September 1973 assesses the environmental impacts associated with adding 1.0 mile to the authorized county shoreline protection project. The only other addition to the plan would involve constructing two groins in the southern end of the project fill instead of one groin at the northern end. The currently preferred project measures would provide for restoration of 4.2 miles of shoreline on Anna Maria Key and construction of a 0.5-mile beach fill transition zone at the southern end of the project beach to reduce nourishment losses. Offshore borrow areas from which nourishment material would be dredged include: (1) an area approximately 1,000 feet wide by 20,000 feet long directly opposite the project beach and 1,000 to 1,500 feet offshore; (2) a rectangular area approximately 3,000 feet by 2,000 feet some 1,000 feet offshore of Longboat Pass; (3) a circular area with a 2,250-foot radius located approximately 5,000 feet offshore of the northern tip of Anna Maria Key; and (4) a rectangular area approximately 1,000 feet by 3,000 feet located some 2,000 feet off the northern tip of Anna Maria Key. Area (1) would be used as the primary borrow site. The plan would also provide for periodic nourishment and mitigation of the loss of nearshore hard bottom habitat. The mitigation plan would involve creation of 4.6 acres of artificial reef to mitigate for 7.3 acres of habitat adversely affected by the selected plan. Special measures would be taken to ensure that turtle nesting, bait fishery activities, historic and archaeological sites, and offshore reefs were not affected. The first cost of the recommended plan is $15.07 million; the annual cost of the project is estimated at $1.85 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide storm protection to upland structures and oceanfront property. An extensive recreational beach would be created by nourishment. Annual benefits related to storm damage reduction, land loss prevention, and incidental recreational benefits would be worth $3.77 million, $92,000, and $300,000, respectively. Substantial nesting habitat for endangered turtles would be provided. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Benthic organisms inhabiting the beach zone would be smothered, although the area would be recolonized within one year. Some losses would be expected among organisms inhabiting the primary borrow area. Beach nourishment and renourishment activities would result in temporary turbidity in the nearshore area; renourishment would occur over three-month periods at nine-year intervals.

Preparation date: November 21, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRAZOS ISLAND HARBOR 42-FOOT PROJECT, TEXAS: OCEAN DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DESIGNATION. AN - 15229698; 3401 AB - PURPOSE: Designation of a site for one-time ocean disposal of 1.325 million cubic yards of construction material to be dredged from the Brazos Island Harbor (BIH) Entrance Channel offshore of Brownsville, Texas is proposed. This action is in conjunction with the Army Corps of Engineers BIH 42-Foot Project. The general alternatives examined were the No Action Alternative, upland disposal, and ocean disposal. Dredged material would predominantly be silt and clay. Based on models of the ocean discharge of dredged material, the preferred size of the site was determined to be 5,300 feet in a direction parallel to the channel (east-west) and 2,895 feet in a direction perpendicular to the channel (north-south). The models accounted for down-current dispersion of disposed material. Specific coordinates of the preferred near-shore site are as follows: 26 degrees, 4 minutes, 47 seconds north latitude (N), 97 degrees, 5 minutes, 7 seconds west longitude (W); 26 degrees, 5 minutes, 16 seconds N, 97 degrees, 5 minutes, 4 seconds W; 26 degrees, 5 minutes, 10 seconds N, 97 degrees, 4 minutes, 6 seconds W; 26 degrees, 4 minutes, 42 seconds N, 97 degrees, 4 minutes, 9 seconds W. Disposal operations are expected to occur over a period of no more than two years. Site monitoring would include routine bathymetric scans to assess mounding at the disposal site. Monitoring stations, including a control station, stations located immediately outside the site, and stations located some distance down-current of the site, would be sampled for grain-size analysis, chemical characterization of sediments, and macrobenthic invertebrates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the ocean disposal site would provide for an environmentally acceptable location for the ocean disposal of dredged materials from the Brazos Island Harbor Entrance Channel, allowing for deepening of the channel as appropriate and improved navigation capacity leading into the harbor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of the proposed site would result in temporary turbidity, temporary loss of benthic biota at the site, potential alteration of site bathymetry, and sediment composition. Some potentially recyclable material (i.e., sand for landfill) would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.).

Preparation date: November 15, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - I-94 - GREEN BAY (RINGLE) AND STH 29 (THORNTON), MARATHON AND SHAWANO COUNTIES, WISCONSIN (PROJECT I.D. 1059-16-00; F20( )). AN - 36403515; 3377 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of State Trunk Highway (STH) 29 is proposed in Marathon and Shawano counties, Wisconsin. The 37-mile study corridor extends from the east end of the recently completed freeway section near Ringle in eastern Marathon County to a point approximately 0.5 mile west of Thornton in central Shawano County. STH 29 is the principal route across north-central Wisconsin, linking Interstate 94 (I-94) and Minneapolis/St. Paul to the west with Green Bay/Fox River Valley to the east. High truck volumes, recreational peaks, poor roadway geometrics, and traffic operational characteristics result in a low level of service for portions of STH 29 between Ringle and Shawano. As traffic volumes increase to those forecasted for the design year (2015), deficiencies will become more critical in obstructing smooth and safe traffic flow, and the level of service for the entire project corridor will become unsatisfactory. The proposed action would upgrade the existing two-lane highway section within the study corridor between Ringle and Thornton to a four-lane divided highway, with a 55-mile-per-hour design speed. For the most part, the project would involve adding two driving lanes and a median adjacent to the existing roadway, which would serve as two lanes of the completed four-lane facility. Project alternatives would include widening to the north or south of the existing highway, possible relocation of the facility along a one-mile section at Hatley, and three alternative bypasses of Wittenberg. In general, except for the sections on new location, existing access, including local roads and driveways, would remain as direct at-grade connections to STH 29. Where possible, the number of individual access points would be reduced through consolidation or new connections to an adjacent local road. The bypass alternatives include local road grade separations and interchanges with US 45. Some bridge work would be necessary to provide for the Wittenberg Bypass. Individual driveway connections to the bypass routes would not be allowed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic conditions on STH 29 would improve substantially due to increased capacity and improved highway design. Projected traffic volumes through the year 2015 would be accommodated. Conflicts between cars and trucks and slow-moving farm equipment would be alleviated. Linkage of nearly one-third of the state's population would be improved. Improved accessibility would increase employment by 3 to 18 percent, depending on the sector considered. A 20-percent increase in tourists using STH 29 between the Wausau and Green Bay areas is anticipated due to the improved highway. The bypass section would separate through and local traffic in the Wittenberg area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of farmlands, wetlands, upland hardwood habitat, residences, businesses, and a day school. Displacement of archaeological and historical resource sites could also be necessary. The project would encounter hazardous materials sites. Noise levels at some receptor sites would exceed standards. Recreational trails and the Shawano County Forest Demonstration Area, a resource designed to illustrate different methods of timber harvest, could be affected by construction activities.

The study area encompasses the Iowa River Basin in Iowa, Johnson, Washington, and Louisa counties, Iowa, but the major area of influence is in Johnson County. The basin of the Iowa River is generally long and narrow, with an average slope of 1.9 feet per mile. The dam creating the reservoir is a rolled earthfill embankment with a maximum crest height of 110 feet above the streambed at elevation 743.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). The dam controls a drainage area extending 3,115 square miles. The current operational plan requires sequential pool level changes through late winter, summer, and fall. The summer pool is the conservation pool, held at an elevation of 680 feet NGVD. The recommended plan for raising the conservation pool would involve a one-step raise from 680 feet NGVD to 683 feet NGVD. The plan would also call for a three-foot variable conservation pool raise for the benefit of migrating waterfowl, an early spring conservation pool drawdown to elevation 679 feet NGVD to provide additional flood control storage, and a modified reservoir release schedule to help minimize the effects of the increased conservation pool elevation on upstream and downstream flood levels. A late winter drawdown to 679 feet NGVD would be dependent on meteorological conditions and resultant hydrologic conditions in the Iowa River and its tributaries. At some time in the future, the reservoir would be reevaluated so that the low-flow augmentation needs downstream of the reservoir could continue to be met. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Based on current estimates, the new conservation pool level of 683 feet NGVD would provide sufficient storage for low-flow augmentation for approximately 20 additional years of reservoir operation. The project would continue to provide downstream flood protection, particularly to Iowa City, and contribute significantly to flood control in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Low-flow augmentation would continue to provide a reliable water source for Iowa City and for the University of Iowa and sustain the downstream fishery of the Iowa River. Diversified recreation would continue to be available in an area where water-based recreation is extremely scarce. The late winter drawdown would allow storage for conservation during midwestern drought conditions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the level of the conservation pool could increase the water table above and below the lake and would likely increase the extent of undesirable algal blooms. Travel on some secondary roads would be disrupted during flood stages, and flood and wave action damage and silt and debris problems would also affect area roads. Loss of outlets for tile drainage systems, continuation of barren areas between conservation and flood pool levels, and a probable increase in the frequency of inundation of upstream easement lands would also result.

Preparation date: November 13, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER OHIO RIVER NAVIGATION STUDY (MOUTH TO CUMBERLAND RIVER), ILLINOIS-KENTUCKY: REPLACEMENT OF LOCKS AND DAMS 52 AND 53 (OLMSTED LOCKS AND DAMS) (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1985). AN - 36395807; 3389 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of navigation facilities are proposed on the lower Ohio River between river mile (RM) 920.5 at the mouth of the Cumberland River and RM 981.5 at the confluence with the Mississippi River in Illinois and Kentucky. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of November 1985 addresses design alternatives and design changes that have been made since the final EIS. The final EIS proposed a single replacement structure, with two 110- by 1,200-foot locks. This structure was to replace locks and dams 52 and 53, also known as Olmsted Locks and Dam. Key design changes since the issuance of the final EIS resulted from seismic conditions in the vicinity of the project site. Concern developed regarding the possibility of movement of or damage to the originally proposed tainter gate piers during an earthquake. Due to this concern, consideration was given to an all-wicket dam. Development of preliminary construction cost estimates indicated that an all-wicket dam would be less expensive than comparable tainter gates and would not involve the attendant seismic weaknesses. Based on cost information and hydraulic model studies, an all-wicket plan was eventually selected. The currently proposed plan would consist of two 110- by 1,200-foot locks, a 2,200-foot wide navigable pass/regulatory section controlled by 220 remotely operated hydraulic wickets, and a short section of fixed weir tying the project into the Kentucky bank. The position of the two locks along the Illinois riverbank would be 125 feet riverward of the site proposed in the final EIS to create satisfactory approach conditions for river traffic. The somewhat shortened fixed weir would be located along the Kentucky riverbank as originally proposed. In addition, a navigable channel would be dredged along the Kentucky riverbank for use by river traffic during construction associated with the first two of the four stages of the cofferdam, as this construction activity would interfere with navigation along the existing navigable channel. Completion of the locks would be followed eventually by demolition of locks and dams 52 and 53. The project would also include construction of prototype wickets, planned at Smithland Locks and Dam, for testing and evaluating components of the hydraulic wickets. Other changes since the final EIS include implementation of a year-round construction schedule as opposed to a seasonal schedule, increases in dredging requirements, measures to prevent impacts on bald eagles that have established a successful population at the Ballard County Wildlife Management Area in Kentucky, measures to stabilize two landslides identified along the Illinois riverbank, and completion of site assessments for toxic hazardous substances. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would reduce lock congestion and transportation costs and would provide a modernized facility for safe and dependable navigation through the study area. Construction activities would provide employment in an economically depressed area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and project facilities could impact populations of an endangered species of mussels, and facilities and operations would have a small impact on the bald eagle population. Clearing of five acres of riparian woodlands could effect the Indiana Bat, which is also an endangered species. Project-related noise could affect migratory waterfowl.

Preparation date: November 13, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 67 - I-40 WEST, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS. AN - 36409031; 3362 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, divided highway, built to interstate standards, is proposed between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-430 interchange and a new interchange at US 67/167 in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Pulaski County is located in the center of the state at the junctions of I-40 and I-30 and US Highways 65 and 67/167. The county contains the largest metropolitan area in the state. The proposed highway, which would extend between 12.6 and 14.5 miles, would be constructed on a new alignment with an average rights-of-way width of 300 feet. The facility would have two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, separated by a variable-width median. Access would be fully controlled, with interchanges and grade separation structures utilized at selected locations. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-430 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67/167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at five locations within Camp Robinson, to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the project is $68.6 million, and the cost-benefit ratio is estimated at 1.36. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a direct east-west facility connecting the developing northeastern and northwestern portions of the county. Congestion would be decreased on existing streets and highways paralleling the corridor, particularly SH 107 and US 67/167, improving safety on these arterials. The highway would be consistent with the longstanding Pulaski Area Transportation and Land Use Plans by providing an east-west bypass of the metropolitan area, providing access to high-growth areas in the northern portion of the county, and serving as the northern link in the metro area's circumferential freeway. Provision of the highway would result in annual savings of $1.01 million and the prevention of 380 accidents. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 5 businesses and 24 residences, 243 acres of prime farmlands, 25 acres of forested wetlands, and 3 acres of cultivated wetlands. The highway would encroach on 11,900 linear feet of floodplains and 2,700 linear feet of floodway. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction.

Preparation date: November 7, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EASTERN TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36407743; 3364 AB - PURPOSE: Alternative transportation actions proposed to meet the need for a north-south highway linkage in east Orange County, California are analyzed. The study corridor, to be known as State Route (SR) 231, extends from SR 91 in the north to Interstate 5 (I-5) to the south. Alternatives under consideration include three build alternatives, a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative, and a No Action Alternative. The build alternatives would all include a North Leg with an ultimate 190- to 234-foot typical roadway cross-section, providing six general purpose lanes and either one concurrent flow high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction or two reversible HOV lanes. Climbing and auxiliary lanes would also be provided on the North Leg. All build alternatives would also include an East Leg, with an ultimate 166- to 196-foot roadway section, including six general purpose lanes, two concurrent flow HOV lanes, and climbing and auxiliary lanes. The alternatives vary in the West Leg design, including one alternative that would not incorporate a West Leg. If constructed, the West Leg would have a 152- to 174-foot roadway section or a 152- to 190-foot roadway section, with four to six general purpose lanes and either one concurrent flow HOV lane in each direction or two reversible HOV lanes. All build alternatives would operate as toll facilities. The TSM Alternative would consist of actions to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of existing transportation facilities. TSM measures would include public and private transit improvements, including park-and-ride and express bus services; carpool, vanpool, and paratransit programs; and improvements to enhance the movement of bicycles and pedestrians. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $905.7 million to $1.03 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion on SR 91, SR 55, and I-5 would be reduced significantly, as would traffic congestion on arterials in northeastern Orange County. Direct connections between residential and employment areas would be created in the northern and southern portions of the county. Regional Mobility Plan goals of reducing transportation-related emissions would be forwarded. Planned community development would be assisted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the build alternatives would result in the loss of 169 to 416 acres of farmlands, 23 to 25 acres of oak woodlands, 636 to 704 acres of mixed habitat, 255 to 273 acres of coastal sage scrub, 4,400 many-stemmed dudleya plants, and 2.2 acres of wetlands. The project would impact Irvine and Featherly parks and could impact Harvard Park. Some residences and one church would be displaced. Construction activities could encounter 14 to 16 underground gasoline tanks. One historic site could and four archaeologic sites would be impacted, as would fossil resources.

Preparation date: November 1, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GULF INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY, SARGENT BEACH, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS. AN - 36403586; 3402 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a barrier to protect the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) from wave attack by the Gulf of Mexico is proposed in the vicinity of Sargent Beach, Matagorda County, Texas. The Sargent Beach area is located between East Matagorda Bay and Cedar lakes, approximately 170 miles north of Corpus Christi and 20 miles southwest of Freeport. The area encompasses that section of the GIWW between channel miles 411.0 and 421.5, measured from the Harvey Locks, Louisiana. The GIWW in Texas extends 423 miles along the entire Gulf of Mexico shoreline from the Sabine River to Brownsville. Waterborne commerce data for the 1988 calendar year indicate that more than 16 million tons of commerce were transported past the Sargent Beach area on the GIWW. Barrier island and peninsulas along most of the Texas section of the GIWW provide protection to waterway traffic from the incessant wave attack of the Gulf of Mexico. Land cuts along major bay systems provide additional protection. In the Sargent Beach area, however, only a narrow strip of land protects the waterway from the gulf in the Sargent Beach area. Erosion of this narrow barrier by wave action will have significant impacts on the associated reach of the GIWW by the year 2000 unless remedial action is undertaken. Severing the GIWW at Sargent would isolate approximately 250 miles of the waterway southwest of Sargent from the rest of the system. Under the selected protection plan, a 42,000-foot-long barrier would be placed between the gulf and the GIWW. The barrier, which would extend along the shoreline from the vicinity of Cedar Lakes to Caney Creek and East Matagorda Bay, would consist primarily of a concrete-block revetment; however, 14,300 feet of concrete sheetpile wall would be required in areas with poor foundations. More specifically, the structure would consist of a two-layer block revetment covering a 24-inch blanket stone base with core stone toe protection. The concrete blocks would have dimensions of 3.5 feet by 4.0 feet by 6.0 feet. The structure would be approximately 105 feet wide and 8 miles long, with a crown elevation of 7 feet above mean low tide. The estimated first cost of the project is $75.4 million, and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $772,000. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 2.0. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing protection against wave action to the GIWW, the revetment would provide similar protection to Sargent Beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Due to the rapid erosion at Sargent Beach and the time necessary to construct the revetment, the structure would have to be located south of the GIWW. As a result, it would be impossible to avoid the loss of 82 acres of wetlands displaced by construction of the revetment and maintenance of rights-of-way.

Preparation date: November 1, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL FOR THE RIO GRANDE DE ARECIBO AND ITS TRIBUTARIES IN THE VICINITY OF ARECIBO, PUERTO RICO. AN - 36395104; 3400 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control measures for the floodplain of the Rio Grande de Arecibo and its tributaries in Puerto Rico is proposed. The Rio Grande de Arecibo basin covers an area of approximately 487 square kilometers (188 square miles) drained by three major streams, namely, the Rio Grande de Arecibo, Rio Tanama, and Rio Santiago. Flooding affects numerous residential, commercial, public, and industrial properties in the Arecibo metropolitan area. The recommended flood control plan would include construction of a stone jetty, floodwalls, and earthen levees at the western side of the Arecibo River floodplain, just east of the Rio Santiago, through the Arecibo delta, beginning at the river mouth and extending south and west to the cloverleaf intersection of Highways 10 and 22, then west to intersect and plug the Rio Santiago. Upper Santiago River flood flows would be diverted eastward into the Rio Arecibo through a new, 2,900-meter diversion channel. The Rio Santiago would be plugged under Highway 22, and the river bed upstream from this point would be regraded to drain into the diversion channel. The lower Santiago channel would be improved along a 3,400-meter reach extending upstream from its mouth. A second levee would extend 1,160 meters northward from the Rio Tanama outlet into the Arecibo Valley to prevent overbank flooding from the Rio Tanama into the upper Santiago. Recreation features to be provided in association with the project would include a bicycle /jogging trail, picnic pavilion and benches on the cellular floodwall, and an additional boat ramp and parking area in the Rio Arecibo. The estimated first cost of the project, at study year 1991, is $19.4 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 3.75. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Full flood protection would be provided to the metropolitan area against the 100-year frequency flood of the Rio Grande de Arecibo and the Rio Tanama and the 25-year frequency flood of the Rio Santiago. Riparian emergent wetland areas would be expanded. Annual benefits resulting from the project would be worth $7.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 24 acres of palustrine and estuarine wetlands would be impacted by structural measures, but this impact would be appropriately mitigated. The impacted wetlands would include 2 acres of riparian wetlands, 7.2 acres of estuarine emergent wetlands, and 16.6 acres of freshwater floodplains. A stone jetty would eliminate 0.3 acre of marine sandy bottom. Approximately 22 acres of active croplands characterized as prime farmland would be lost. Open water channel wetlands would be replaced in both brackish and freshwater zones. Water, sewer, and power lines as well as culverts, 3 commercial buildings, 5 bridges, and 13 residences would be displaced.

The modifications consist of a decoupling and separate routing of main and overbank channel flow, an introduction of a variable time step to increase model efficiency during periods of steady flow, and an interval determination of the numerical increment. The resulting hydrologic model is verified by comparing its flow routing results with those of hydraulic benchmark models solving the full unsteady flow equations. Test conditions consist of hypothetical flood hydrographs, long prismatic channels with simple and compound sections, and a third order drainage network. For the tested conditions, the model produces hydrograph peaks, times to peak and shapes that compare well with those of the hydraulic benchmarks. Hydrograph distortions due to overbank floodplain storage and multiple peaks from complex drainage networks are also well reproduced. The execution time of the model is generally one order of magnitude faster than that of the hydraulic benchmark models. JF - Technical Papers.

The majority of identified entrained turtles (n=126) were loggerheads (78%), with green turtles accounting for 20% of those identified, and ridleys 2%. Unidentified turtles (n=52) accounted for 29% of total incidents reported and were identified as turtles by portions of the body or internal viscera. Comparison of the numbers or species taken and the time of capture shows no clear trend. This comparison is based on the time of day or night the reported incident occurred in relation to the dredging activity. This assessment shows 42% of the documented incidents occurred during the daytime, 33% at night, and for 24% the time was not recorded. Numerous methods have been employed to reduce or prevent sea turtle mortalities from dredging operations. A reduction in sea turtle mortalities during dredging in the Cape Canaveral ship channel since 1980 may be attributed to operational changes and possibly to a decrease in the local abundance of turtles.

A study was performed using the method of truncation level to investigate drought characteristics. Precipitation droughts were defined using monthly precipitation time series and different truncation levels--namely, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 95 %--in which a 70% truncation level means that 70% of the recorded monthly precipitations are greater than or equal to the value. Twenty-one precipitation stations were selected in the Scioto River Basin, Ohio, for the study of regional drought characteristics. Contour lines of conditional probabilities for each truncation level were constructed to show possible drought-prone distributions for the ungaged region. Variations of truncated values for different record lengths were small and far below their corresponding means for all the gage stations. The truncated values decrease as their corresponding levels increase, implying that the water availability decreases as the specified truncation level increases. The mean values of conditional probability for the 21 stations were 0.755 for 70-80 %, 0.577 for 80-90%, and 0.563 for 90-95%, implying that a drought in the area will prolong with a probability greater than 50% if it has already been in a severity level of 70%, 80%, or 90%. The probability of a drought at 70% severity level is always greater than that of its counterpart at the 80% or 90% level, indicating that a drought of lower severity level is more likely to prolong than one of higher severity level. Hence, a drought-control measure should be taken while a drought is in a stage of lower severity level. The kriging method based on the minimum unbiased estimation was used to obtain a regional distribution of conditional drought probabilities of each truncation level. The outer region of the basin tends to have higher values, i.e., greater conditional probabilities of given droughts advancing to their corresponding next higher severity levels. As the truncation level increases the distribution becomes more disperse, represented by the gradual decrease in the contour gradients. This is an indication that the problem of water availability becomes more regional when the level of drought severity increases.

A limited denitrification study was also performed using an anaerobic rotating biological contactor unit. Relatively low substrate loading rates (2.8-18.5 g chemical oxygen demand/square m/day, 1.2-7.3 g NH3-N/square m/day) were examined, consistent with a desire to promote nitrification. Bench-scale reactors were operated at a rotational speed similar to those employed in full-scale rotating biological contactor units. This enabled accurate simulation of the low dissolved oxygen conditions that often occur at full scale. At steady-state conditions in the aerobic units, ammonia oxidation was essentially complete and a maximum of 38% of the chemical oxygen demand in the leachate was oxidized. The effect of substrate loading rate was clear for both constituents, with greater removals at lower loading rates. Biomass yield rates were low (0.03-0.05 mg volatile suspended solids/mg NH3-N). In studies with a single anaerobic rotation biological contactor stage following one of the aerobic rotating biological contactor units, the feasibility of denitrification was demonstrated for removal of nitrate produced upon ammonia oxidation.

AN - 36411264; 3384 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control measures are proposed for portions of the Sacramento Valley located in Yolo and Sacramento counties, California. The study area includes lands along the Yolo Bypass and the Sacramento River from upstream of the Sacramento Weir on the north to Freeport. The study focuses on the city of West Sacramento. The most notable recent flood, in February of 1986, would have been catastrophic if the city had not implemented emergency sandbagging on the east levee of the Yolo Bypass. Under the tentatively selected plan, primary flood control measures would consist of raising 5.7 miles of existing levee to the north and west of West Sacramento. Approximately 4.7 miles of levee would be raised along the east side of the Yolo Bypass and 1.0 mile of levee would be raised along the south side of the Sacramento Bypass. The maximum increase in height of the levees would be 5.5 feet. This would extend the footprint of the levees from 4.4 feet (minimum) to 23.8 feet (maximum). Levee raising would be landward for the south side of the Sacramento Bypass. The east levee of the Yolo Bypass from the Sacramento Bypass south for approximately 0.5 mile would undergo levee raising on the waterward side. From 0.5 mile south of the Sacramento River to the Southern Pacific Railroad crossing, the levee would be raised on both sides to avoid impacting large riparian trees on the waterward side. The levee cannot be built out wholly on the landward side due to the presence of a large open water drain. A flood gate would be installed at the railroad crossing. A total of 825,000 cubic yards of borrow material would be removed for project implementation. Approximately 265,000 cubic yards would be removed within the Sacramento Bypass along its south side toward the Sacramento Weir, and 560,000 cubic yards would be removed between the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel and the Yolo Bypass east levee. Recreational facilities, such as hiking and biking trails, would be included in the project design. Mitigation measures would consist of acquiring at least 52.5 acres of land, mostly wetlands, for designation as a wildlife area. The first cost of the project, which is expected to be completed in 1998, is estimated at $27.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide the city of West Sacramento with protection against the 400-year frequency flood; the city currently is only protected against floods up to the 70-year flow. Threats to life, health, and property due to flooding would decline significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: An 18.6-acre strip of land adjacent to the existing levee would be converted from agricultural/vacant land to flood control structures. At least 52.5 acres of agricultural/vacant land would be converted to a wildlife management area. A total of 3,409.3 acres of agricultural/vacant lands would be converted to urban uses over the life of the project due to flood protection provided to these lands.

AN - 36403546; 3398 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control plan for the Lackawanna River basin in Lackawanna County, northwestern Pennsylvania is proposed. The study area lies within the Appalachian Mountain section of the Ridge and Valley geologic province. Major floods occurred in the basin in 1942, 1955, and 1985, the latter flood being caused by Hurricane Gloria. While the damage from these floods was widespread, the largest and most concentrated damages occurred in urbanized areas, including portions of Scranton and the Borough of Olyphant. The reach of the Lackawanna River where the project would be developed is highly developed. The area is approximately 7.8 miles long and decreases approximately 100 feet in elevation from 770 to 670 feet above mean sea level. Under the preferred flood control plan, approximately 5,750 feet of earthen levee and 1,660 feet of floodwall would be constructed in Scranton and 3,770 feet of earthen levee and 1,410 feet of floodwall would be constructed in Olyphant. Appurtenant features, such as access ramps, closures, stone slope protection, cultural mitigation measures, and ponding areas, would also be included. The Scranton portion of the project would include removal of the Pocono Northeast Railroad Bridge and approach embankments. Flood warning improvements would be included in the Scranton area. The estimated costs of plan implementation are $18.96 million for the Scranton components and $13.88 million for the Olyphant components. The components have a respective benefit-cost ratio of 1.21 and 1.05. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would prevent approximately 84 percent of the potential flood damages in the Park Place area of Scranton and 88 percent in Olyphant. The proposed flood forecast warning system would reduce induced flood damages and help with damage reduction in other areas as well. Annual net benefits for the Scranton and Olyphant areas would be worth $327,000 and $56,000, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee and floodwall construction would change riverfront topography, displace riverfront lands, and alter river hydrology. The value of damages from average annual induced flooding caused by the project would be $154,000 in Scranton and $6,000 across from Olyphant.

AN - 15230344; 3369 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four- or six-lane, divided, controlled- or partially controlled-access highway, to be known as the Wonderwood Connector, is proposed in Duval County, Florida. The 7.2- to 9.5-mile project would begin near State Road (SR) 9A in Arlington and proceed eastward toward the Beaches area to Mayport Road (SR 101). Four build alternatives are under consideration, with varying specific terminus points. Design features would include 12-foot-wide travel lanes, safety shoulders, graded or curbed medians, and rights-of-way widths extending 200 to 300 feet for limited-access sections and approximately 120 to 170 feet for partially controlled-access sections. All alternatives would include the construction of a bridge across the Intracoastal Waterway. Bridges also would be provided over major stream crossings, at major crossroads for the limited-access sections, and at other locations where necessary to accommodate wetlands, soil, and hydraulic conditions. Depending on the alternative chosen, the estimated cost of the project ranges from $147.7 million to $322.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expressway would connect the Arlington District and the Beaches of Jacksonville and provide a fourth Jacksonville crossing of the Intracoastal Waterway in Duval County. In addition, the connector would link the newly completed sections of SR 9A, including the Napoleon Bonaparte Broward Bridge and Mayport Road near the Mayport Naval Complex. Access to the commercial district of downtown Jacksonville would be improved. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of approximately 200 acres of land and, depending on the alternative selected, 209 to 343 residences, 8 to 65 businesses, and 37 to 126 acres of wetlands. From 137 to 496 sensitive receptors would be affected by noise levels in excess of standards unless mitigation measure are undertaken.

Preparation date: October 18, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MOJAVE VALLEY RESORT, FORT MOJAVE INDIAN RESERVATION, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA, AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406955; 3381 AB - PURPOSE: The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe has prepared a development strategy and coordinated the preparation of an overall master land use plan for approximately 4,000 acres in Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California for a new community that would become a destination resort. This new community would be located approximately 11.5 miles south of Laughlin, Nevada, 2 miles southwest of Bullhead City, Arizona, and 8 miles north of Needles, California. The acreage across the Colorado River in Arizona is included in the tribe's overall development strategy; however, an overall master land use plan has not been prepared for the Arizona lands. Developments in Arizona would include a planned residential community to support and enhance the destination resort. The tribe would lease two sites, one within the destination resort and one across the river on the Arizona lands, to one developer who would finance and construct the appropriate facilities. The lessee would also assist the tribe in specific planning, marketing, and management of these sites. Mojave Valley Resort, Inc. proposes to lease approximately 529 acres of Indian trust land (approximately 526 acres in Nevada and 2 acres in California) for a period of 65 years and approximately 800 acres of Indian trust land in Arizona for a period of 75 years, with a 20-year renewal option on both leases, under the terms and conditions of the lease agreements. Site 1 developments would include five 1,000-room hotels, 460,000 square feet of commercial space, 650 condominiums, and an 18-hole golf course with associated facilities. Site 2 developments would include 110,000 square feet of commercial space, 2,240 condominiums, 2,880 apartments, 500 mobile home spaces, and 750 recreational vehicle spaces. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing needed recreational opportunities for residents of southern California, Arizona, and Nevada, the resort would boost the economy of the tribe and local residents in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The existing topography of the site would be altered extensively by grading, cut-and-fill operations, and other earthwork activities. Approximately 568 acres of natural vegetation would be affected, and agricultural land would be displaced. On-site water flows and discharge points would be modified significantly. Sculpted drainage courses would be created east and west of the Colorado River. The proposed action would use a maximum of 1,748 acre-feet of water annually at buildout. Withdrawal of water would decrease the amount of water available for other tribal activities and downstream uses and could impact water quality in near-surface aquifers. Automobile emissions would degrade local air quality. Population increases in the area would place stress on social services and infrastructure.

Preparation date: October 17, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 1 FROM SECONDARY ROAD (SR) 1853 AT LAKEVIEW, TO SR 1180 SOUTH OF SANFORD, LEE AND MOORE COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA (STATE PROJECT NO. 6.569001T). AN - 36412687; 3371 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of US Route 1 in southern Lee County and eastern Moore County, North Carolina is proposed. The project, which lies within the Sandhills region of the state, would extend 12 miles from Secondary Road (SR) 1853 at Lakeview to SR 1180 south of Sanford. The towns of Cameron, Vass, and Lakeview also are within the study area. The alignment of existing US 1 in the study area is substandard, with restrictive roadway geometrics and poor passing sight distances. The existing two-lane roadway consists primarily of a 22-foot-wide paved section with limited shoulder width within a 100-foot rights-of-way. The project initially would involve construction of a four-lane expressway with future development of a four-lane freeway throughout the length of the study area. Corridors under consideration for the project include the existing US 1 corridor along with frontage roads, a new corridor, and a combination of the existing corridor and a new alignment. Five build alternatives are under consideration. Alternative A would use three miles of the existing US 1 corridor and nine miles of a new corridor to the east. Alternative B would consist of a new corridor west of existing US 1 for a distance of 12 miles. Alternative C would use approximately eight miles of the existing US 1 corridor and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the west, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative D would follow the existing corridor over 9 miles, and a new corridor to bypass Vass to the east, for a total length of 12 miles. Alternative E would utilize approximately 3 miles of the existing corridor and new corridors to the east and west, for a total length of approximately 13 miles. All alternatives would cross the Little River, Crane Creek, and their tributaries, and alternatives C, D, and E would cross Little Crane Creek. One crossing of the Seaboard Coastline Railroad (CSX) would be required under alternatives A through D, and Alternative E would involve three crossings of the railroad. Alternatives A and B would include three interchanges, while the other alternatives would include two interchanges. The estimated costs of alternatives A, B, C, D, and E are $46.2 million, $45.0 million, $52.8 million, $52.0 million, and $54.2 million, respectively. Respective benefit-cost ratios are 2.11, 2.94, 2.31, 2.43, and 2.18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By improving a substandard section of US 1, the project would enhance local as well as through traffic. US Route 1 is a major north-south route extending the entire length of the eastern seaboard. By removing traffic from Vass, alternatives involving a bypass of this community would remove through traffic from local streets. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 40 to 105 residents, 366 to 427 acres of wildlife habitat, 75 to 124 acres of wetlands, and 158 to 226 acres of prime farmlands. Habitat for several state and federally listed endangered species could be impacted. The project would traverse 14 to 19 hyrdologic resources, possibly resulting in one channel relocation, and 1 to 5 sites containing potentially hazardous wastes. From 14 to 20 sensitive receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of standards. Up to two archaeologic sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as one school, one water intake, and one waste treatment facility could be affected.

Preparation date: October 7, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 17 NEW BERN BYPASS FROM JONES-CRAVEN COUNTY LINE TO SR 1438 NEAR VANCEBORO, CRAVEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (STATE PROJECT NO. 6.179001T (R-2301)). AN - 36395318; 3372 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane controlled-access freeway is proposed to provide a bypass around the western city limits of the city of New Bern in Craven County, North Carolina. The adjacent municipalities of River Bend, Trent Woods, and Bridgeton would also be bypassed. The proposed New Bern Bypass, which would extend 12 to 16 miles, would be designated as a portion of US 17, while the bypassed section of US 17 would be designated as US 17 Business. Each of the nine build alternatives would consist of a four-lane, divided freeway with interchanges at critical crossroads. Alternatives 1, 2, 4, and 5 would begin at the westernmost point on existing US 17 within the study area, southwest of New Bern, and proceed in a northeasterly direction forming the westernmost alternatives. Interchanges for these alternatives would be located at both termini with existing US 17, US 70, North Carolina (NC) 55, NC 43 (Alternatives 2 and 5 only), and State Route (SR) 1400. Alternatives 3 and 6 would begin at the same point as alternatives 1, 2, 4, and 5, but would take a more easterly course after crossing US 70. Interchanges would be provided at the US 17 termini, NC 55, and NC 43. Alternatives 7 and 8 would begin at the easternmost point on existing US 17, southwest of New Bern, proceed in a northeasterly direction to US 70, and turn northward, following a route similar to those of alternatives 1, 2, 4, and 5. Interchanges would be provided at US 17 termini, US 70, NC 55, NC 43, and SR 1400. Alternative 9 would begin near the initial termini of alternatives 7 and 8, but would take a more easterly route similar to the northern sections of alternatives 3 and 6. Interchanges would be provided at US 17 termini, US 70, US 55, and NC 43. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regardless of the alternative chosen, the traffic capacity provided would meet the needs of projected traffic levels through the year 2010. Through traffic would be removed from local traffic in New Bern, River Bend, Trent Woods, and Bridgeton, enhancing long-distance travel and easing congestion on municipal streets. The bypass would implement a portion of the thoroughfare plan for the New Bern-Bridgeton-Trent Woods Area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A number of residential structures, including those housing minority families, would be displaced, and a church, cemetery, and one business could be displaced. The Tuscarora Game Land south of US 17 would be impacted by all alternatives, although impacts would have no effect on available deer hunting sites. One access site associated with the Neuse River would be removed by alternatives 1, 4, or 7. Access to bypassed communities would be restricted somewhat. A total of 28 archaeological sites are located within the corridors under consideration for construction, and 10 historic sites lie in close proximity to alternative corridors. Farmland would be impacted, and two permitted mining operations and at least one hazardous materials site could be encountered. Several alternatives would require relocation of 1,100 feet of Bear Branch, and three alternatives would encroach on a regulatory floodplain associated with Rocky Run Creek. A variety of wetland and upland habitats would be impacted.

Preparation date: October 2, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TROTWOOD CONNECTOR/TURNER ROAD EXTENSION, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO. AN - 36394950; 3373 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new four-lane, limited-access, divided highway, to be known as the Trotwood Connector, and extension of Turner Road on the northwestern side of Dayton in Montgomery County, Ohio are proposed. The 5.29-mile facility would extend southward from State Route (SR) 49, at a point north of its intersection with Shiloh Springs Road, to a point on Third Street, approximately 1,000 feet east of Olive Road, where it would connect to the realignment of US 35. More specifically, the alignment would diverge from SR 49 to the south between Shiloh Springs Road and Olive Road, curve southeastward to avoid a residential subdivision and most of the Dry Run Stream corridor south of Shiloh Springs Road, continue directly south to pass between Devonshire and Norfolk avenues, and intersect with US 35. A structure would carry the roadway over the Penn Central Railroad, and intersections would be created at Free Pike, Wolf Creek Pike, Little Richmond Road, Hoover Avenue, and US 35. The facility would be at-grade, except for the structure over the railroad. The project would also include construction of a 1.7-mile extension of Turner Road from the existing Turner Road /Wolf Road intersection, across Salem Avenue and Denlinger Road, to an intersection with the Trotwood Connector. The estimated costs of the Trotwood Connector and the extension of Turner Road are $33.77 million and $5.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the new roadways would correct deficiencies in the existing regional transportation system. Congestion at peak hours on US 35 and SR 49 would be relieved. An additional north-south link between the most rapidly growing part of Trotwood and US 35 /West Third Street would be provided. Extension of Turner Road to SR 49 and the proposed Trotwood Connector would extend an area beltway into the west Dayton area, greatly facilitating crosstown traffic flow. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Traffic on the new roadways would increase noise levels in residential areas, and federal noise standards would be violated at some receptors. Construction of the facilities would displace 24.6 acres of prime farmland and 10.1 acres of woodland, encroach on three streams a total of eight times and the shorelines of one small lake, and displace 16 businesses and 36 residences. Approximately 1,800 feet of the highway would traverse a floodplain, and the project would cross a federally designated sole-source aquifer.

The St. Paul District hosted the workshop at the Riverwood Conference Center, Monticello, Minnesota. The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) was responsible for the technical program and workshop coordination. The workshop consisted of four one-half day sessions and one evening session. There were twenty-seven invited workshop participants who presented a total of thirteen papers and eleven panel discussions. These proceedings are a compilation of the papers and panel discussions. Participants included representatives from headquarters, division and district offices, the Hydrologic Engineering Center, the Institute for Water Resources (IWR), and the Waterways Experiment Station (WES). A representative from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and a private consultant from Water Engineering and Technology, Inc. also participated. The major objectives of the workshop were to 1) identify issues related to present procedures for determining riverine levee project height, including freeboard, 2) discuss alternative procedures for determining levee height, and 3) establish a direction for implementing new policy and procedures for determining levee height that would eliminate the concept of freeboard, and incorporate risk and uncertainty in the analysis.

The tissue distribution of BP-derived radioactivity was determined 24 and 72 h after treatment. Bile contained high concentrations of BP-derived radioactivity (7.9 micrograms BP equivalents/g bile at 72 h), 25% of the radioactivity found in the fish at this time. The major components of bile collected at 72 h were glucuronides (54%), sulfates (12%) and unmetabolized BP (14%). The potentially genotoxic metabolite BP-7,8-dihydrodiol and its glucuronide represented 0.7 and 2.0%, respectively, of the radioactivity of the bile at 72 h. High concentrations of BP-derived radioactivity were also present in liver and gonads (1,060 and 843 ng equivalents of BP/g tissue at 24 h, respectively). Muscle contained 10% of the BP-derived radioactivity found in the fish (46 ng eq/g at 24 h). No significant change was found between 24 and 72 h in the concentrations or proportional amounts of BP-derived radioactivity except in liver, in which the proportional amount decreased from 19 to 10% of the total found in the fish. In muscle, unmetabolized BP represented 95% of the extractible radioactivity. At 24 h BP-7,8-diol represented 0.6% of this extractable radioactivity in muscle and 1.0% of the extractable (0.4% of the total) radioactivity in liver. These data indicate that carp tissues produce significant amounts of BP-7,8-diol and its glucuronide, potentially capable of being converted (after hydrolysis of the glucuronide) to active metabolites capable of alkylating DNA and other macromolecules. However, small amounts of covalently-bound radioactivity were found (4% and 7% of the total radioactivity present in muscle and liver, respectively).

After the slurry flows over the disposal area, the fine-grained material starts undergoing sedimentation. As water exits the soil matrix, the volume of the matrix decreases, causing an increase in storage capacity and soil shear strength within the disposal facility. The main objective of installing vertical strip drains in confined disposal areas is to reduce the length of the drainage path, accelerating the settlement rate and strength gain of the dredged fill or foundation soil. The Craney Island disposal area is a 2,200-acre confined disposal area located near Norfolk, Virginia. Dredged material has been placed in the disposal area almost continuously since it was completed in 1957. The original design was for an initial capacity of about 100 million cu yd and a 20-yr life for the facility. Increased dredging in the Norfolk Channel has required the capacity of Craney Island to be increased through three major dike raising efforts. The maximum vertical drainage path in the foundation clay is approximately 55 ft. The installation of vertical strip drains will result in radial flow instead of vertical flow. As a result, the maximum drainage path will be reduced to one-half of the strip drain spacing, that is, 3 ft, instead of one-half of the compressible layer thickness, that is, 55 ft. This reduction is significant since the rate of consolidation is a function of the length of drainage path squared. The shorter drainage path will result in a substantial reduction in the time required to consolidate the dredged fill and underlying foundation clay. The installation of vertical strip drains will reduce the height of existing disposal areas, allowing a new disposal area to be constructed on top of the existing area. The installed strip drains and sand drainage blanket also will accelerate consolidation of existing dredged fill and foundation clay as new dredged material and perimeter dikes are placed.

However, defining certain physical depths does not absolutely define or encompass all navigational situations--local pilot experience will still come into play. As a conservative starting point to define navigable depth, an appropriate density value can be established corresponding to the lowest density at which the fine-grained sediment material develops a space-filling inter-particle structure and a rapid increase in viscosity. Fluid muds exhibit a sharp increase in strength and consistency at a critical density. This generally has been found to occur at bulk wet densities of 1.15-1.25 gm/cu cm, but varies based on local sediment conditions. Because of the variability in United States estuarine sediment types, samples must be collected and analyzed to positively establish the critical density. Surveys of depth to an appropriate navigable density will provide more complete, less ambiguous information on channel conditions than present conventional acoustic surveys. Traditional acoustic measurements and reporting would be continued. Measurements of density can be carried out using a number of techniques with equipment under development by the Dredging Research Program. Reporting of depth measurements to specific density horizons, along with customary acoustic horizons, will provide improved bed information without explicit warranty of navigability. The ultimate definition of navigable depth is left to local pilots knowledgeable about specific vessel behavior and maneuvering practice.

AN - 36394662; 3299 AB - PURPOSE: Final designation of an adjusted ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) for continuing use, to be located off the mouth of the Umpqua River in Oregon, is proposed. The current interim-designated ODMDS would be dedesignated. The Umpqua River enters the Pacific Ocean near the town of Reedsport, approximately 180 miles south of the Columbia River. The river provides navigational access to Winchester Bay, Reedsport, and Gardiner. Materials are generated by dredging an entrance channel, river channel, turning basin, side channel at Gardiner, and a number of channels and basins within the Winchester Bay project. The general alternatives examined were termination of ocean disposal at Umpqua River, designation of the existing interim ocean disposal site as a permanent site, and designation of a new site lying north of the present interim site. The interim site, or areas in the same vicinity, have been used since 1924. Maintenance operations have been performed by hopper dredge. To date, more than 14.5 million cubic yards (cy) have been disposed at sea, 3.5 million cy of which have been disposed in the interim disposal site. The preferred alternative would be permanent designation of an adjusted ODMDS north of the existing interim site. Both sites are located approximately one nautical mile west of the mouth of the Umpqua River. The 116-acre site has dimensions of 3,600 feet by 1,400 feet and an average depth of 105 feet. Specific coordinates of the preferred site are as follows: 43 degrees, 40 minutes, 34 seconds north latitude (N), 124 degrees, 14 minutes, 26 seconds west longitude (W); 43 degrees, 40 minutes, 34 seconds N, 124 degrees, 13 minutes, 50 seconds W; 43 degrees, 40 minutes, 20 seconds N, 124 degrees, 13 minutes, 50 seconds W; and 43 degrees, 40 minutes, 20 seconds N, 124 degrees, 14 minutes, 26 seconds W. Disposal operations are expected to occur over a period of no more than two years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the new ocean disposal site would provide for an environmentally acceptable location for the ocean disposal of dredged materials from the Umpqua River navigation project, allowing for maintenance of the channels and basins, as appropriate, and continued navigational access to the area. Serious navigational conflicts associated with continued use of the existing interim site would be obviated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of the proposed site would result in temporary turbidity, temporary loss of benthic biota at the site, potential alteration of site bathymetry, and sediment composition.

AN - 36402809; 3266 AB - PURPOSE: Widening 9.0 miles of the Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695 (I-695)) and 4.1 miles of the Baltimore-Washington Expressway (Maryland (MD) Route 295) in Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties, Maryland is proposed. The project would also involve modification of three existing interchanges along the affected corridors. Study area roadways include portions of I-695, MD Route 295, I-95, and I-895 (the Harbor Tunnel Thruway). The Baltimore Beltway provides a circumferential route around the city of Baltimore and a connection to major radial routes such as MD Routes 2 and 3. Existing I-695 consists of three lanes northbound and three lanes southbound, with a fourth northbound lane between I-95 and US 40. MD Route 295 provides two lanes in each direction; the study portion links the Baltimore-Washington International Airport with the city of Baltimore. The construction alternative would involve the addition of one travel lane and a shoulder in each direction to the outside of existing I-695 and in the median of MD Route 295. Bridge widening and/or reconstruction and the provision of retaining walls to minimize rights-of-way acquisitions would be required. Ramp adjustments would be required at each interchange along I-695 to tie into the additional mainline lane. Major reconfiguration of the existing interchanges would not be undertaken. The interchange alterations would include modification of ramps within the I-695 interchanges at I-70, Hollins Ferry Road, and MD Route 295. Noise control structures would be installed in several areas along the widened routes. The base cost of the project, not including any additional costs for interchange expansion options, is estimated at $256.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Significant predicted increases in traffic volumes along I-695 and MD Route 295 would be accommodated, and traffic operations and safety within these transportation corridors would be enhanced significantly. Accident rates and costs associated with accidents along the corridors would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the acquisition of property from at least 10 private owners and would require displacement of one home. Traffic-generated noise would violate federal noise standards at 25 receptors along the corridors even though noise barriers are constructed. A very small portion of tidal wetland (0.065 acre), would be impacted, and 0.13 acre of recreational land associated with the Maiden Choice Center School would be displaced.

AN - 36407626; 3293 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to restore the ecological integrity of the Kissimmee River, located in central Florida, is proposed. The river's ecosystem and its environmental values have degraded as the cumulative result of local and federal modifications for water resources development. Major basin projects include the Upper Basin lakes improvements in the Orlando area south to and including Lake Kissimmee and consist of channels and structures that control water flows through 18 natural lakes into Lake Kissimmee. Lower Basin works consist of a flood control channel, known as C-38, and six S-65 water control structures that step water down over the channel's 56 miles from Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee. The recommended plan would involve backfilling of five reaches of C-38, totalling 29 miles; creation of a new river channel along 18 sections, covering 11.6 miles, where the original river was eliminated by the excavation of C-38 or the placement of excavated materials; construction of a bypass spillway weir and channel to function as the primary outlet from Lake Kissimmee; shallowing of the Lake Kissimmee outlet reach; modification of the water control structures that step water down C-38 to operate with much higher headwater and tailwater stages; modification of three weirs to restore flows through oxbows and facilitate local floodplain inundation; removal of three water control structures that would be inundated; construction of two levees to reduce real estate acquisition requirements; modification of two bridges and local levees; construction of an additional weir; modifications to some of the 50 tributaries in the Lower Basin to mitigate flooding impacts; and placement of navigation markers. Project implementation would require the acquisition of lands lying within the 58,487-acre area encompassed by the five-year flood line and acquisition of flowage easements within 9,143 acres in the 100-year floodplain. The estimated cost of plan implementation is $422.67 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality, wetlands, and the riverine and associated lacustrine ecosystem in general would be enhanced, reversing the trend toward degradation that has characterized most activities associated with the river during this century. Natural processes that have been replaced by human development would be restored to their previous status. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project requirements would result in the displacement of residential and other structures and relatively large land areas. Excavation and construction activities would cause temporary degradation of water quality and disturb vegetation.

Preparation date: September 20, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOWER MONONGAHELA RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM STUDY, ALLEGHENY, WASHINGTON, AND WESTMORELAND COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 36406692; 3301 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the Lower Monongahela River navigation system in Allegheny, Washington, and Westmoreland counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. The study area includes the Lower Monongahela River from the ""Point'' in Pittsburg 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 tentatively selected improvement plan would involve constructing a new gated dam and rehabilitating the locks at L&D 2, raising Dam 2 five feet, removing L&D 3, lowering Pool 3 by 3.2 feet, and constructing new locks at L&D 4. No major work would be undertaken at L&D 4. Environmental features would be included to maintain existing dissolved oxygen levels in the river and to improve aquatic habitat for the loss of the L&D 3 tailwater. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, 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 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 affect 30.3 miles of river, necessitating numerous shoreside facility adjustments such as reconstruction of docks, intakes and outfalls, boat ramps, and one railroad bridge. Costs of these adjustments would be $174.3 million. Loss of tailwater due to the removal of L&D 3 would constitute the most significant biological impact, but this impact would be mitigated by placement of shallow water structural habitat features, design features in the new L&D 2 and L&D 4 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 3.27 million cubic yards of waste material due to channel and approach dredging, excavation for new structures, and demolition of old structures. The new system design could have an effect on thermal discharges that are the responsibility of hydroelectric users of the river.

AN - 36407573; 3300 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of flow regimes associated with eight reservoirs on the Columbia River and it tributaries is proposed in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to improve the Pacific salmon fishery. The Columbia River and its tributaries form the dominant water system in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic scope of this analysis is the Columbia River Basin from the Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington upstream to the middle Snake River reservoirs in Idaho, and north along the mainstem to Mica Dam in British Columbia. Federal and nonfederal reservoir projects in the United States and Canada that influence flows past the eight run-of-river dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers are included in the analysis. The dams provide flood control, hydropower, recreation, irrigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. For the purposes of the present study, drawdown and augmentation alternatives and combinations thereof have been analyzed. The drawdown scheme would involve lowering reservoir elevations at the affected reservoirs during all or part of the smolt migration. Eight options, including two different timing scenarios for two of the drawdown options, have been identified to represent the range of drawdown alternatives. Six of these options would apply to the lower Snake River dams, while the remaining two would apply to the Columbia River dams. The flow augmentation regimes would involve discharge of additional water during the spring migration season to increase river flow. As with the drawdown alternatives, a wide variety of options to increase river flows are under consideration. Eight specific flow augmentation options for the Snake River have been identified, which involve modifications to existing Water Budget releases, sometimes in combination with application of flood control rule curves and/or shifts of system flood control capacity from the Dworshak and Brownlee dams to the Grand Coulee Dam. Volumes under consideration under the augmentation plans range from 600,000 acre-feet to 1.2 million acre-feet from Dworshak, up to 200,000 acre-feet from Brownlee, and up to 200,000 acre-feet from multiple smaller sources above Brownlee. The most extreme case would involve using the full storage available at Brownlee and Dworshak, if required, to meet a 140 cubic-foot-per-second flow target. In addition to the supplemental water that could be added to the Snake River, Columbia River flows could be augmented by releases from the Grand Coulee and Arrow dams. Storage releases for temperature control are also under consideration. A monitoring program would be implemented in association with the project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing flows for upstream and downstream migration and temperature control, the plan would improve the ability of salmon populations to spawn and migrate within the Columbia River system. As a result, populations could increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Releases would result in noticeable increases in downstream turbidity and gas saturation that would exceed government standards. All adult fish passage would be eliminated during drawdown and reservoir refilling, eliminating passage of all spring and summer chinook. Temperature changes in the rivers could negatively impact the early portion of adult upstream runs each year. Resident fish habitat would be decreased, and wetland and island habitats would be altered substantially. Wave erosion would accompany releases. Barge transportation on the Snake river would be affected and hydroelectric and irrigation capacity would be impacted negatively.

AN - 36386310; 3296 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a beach erosion control and restoration project is proposed in response to storm damage along the shorelines of the communities of Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and Sea Gate in the Borough of Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. The study shoreline is approximately 3.2 miles long. This document supplements the final environmental impact statement of November 1978 on the restoration and maintenance of the beaches of Coney Island and Brighton; Coney Island also lies within Kings County. Under the plan recommended in this draft supplement, the beach along the study shoreline would be widened via placement of hydraulic fill along the shoreline extending 15,550 feet between Norton Point and Corbin Place. The fill would maintain a 100-foot minimum berm width along the shoreline between West 37th Street and Corbin Place as measured generally from the seaward face of the boardwalk. The design would provide berm widths of 125 feet in both Brighton Beach and Coney Island. The berm would have an elevation of 13 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. The project would also involve extension of the groins at West 37th Street to a length of 350 feet, placement of a fillet of sand at Sea Gate, and maintenance of the existing groins at Corbin Place. The average berm width for the fillet at Sea Gate would be 215 feet. Initial nourishment would require 2.28 million cubic yards of sand. Renourishment fill would be placed along the beachfront at 10-year intervals over a 50-year timeframe. Each renourishment would require approximately 990,000 cubic yards of sand. Approximately 53,000 tons of quarry stone would be needed for the extension of the West 37th Street groin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a wider, more useful beach, the plan would protect shoreline developments against the largest storm surge, which occurs on an average of once every 200 years. The sand fillet at Sea Gate would constitute the least costly alternative to achieve closure with the shoreline to be extended west of the West 37th Street groin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of fill material would disturb and destroy benthic organisms and habitat. Placement of fill along the Coney Island beaches would temporarily degrade the existing beach habitat during initial deposition and periodic maintenance deposition. Use of the immediate shoreline area by fish and avian species for feeding would be disrupted. Decreased water quality and increased turbidity associated with hydraulic placement of fill would also be expected. These impacts would be minor and brief.

AN - 36394557; 3298 AB - PURPOSE: Designation of a site for ocean disposal of material to be dredged from the federally authorized navigation project on the Rogue River of Oregon and other authorized dredged materials is proposed. The general alternatives examined were termination of ocean disposal at Rogue River and designation of the existing interim ocean disposal site as a permanent site. A third alternative, moving the site, would be considered if future site monitoring discloses problems such as mounding. The interim site, or areas in the same vicinity, have been used since 1962. Maintenance operations have been performed by hopper dredge, hopper barge, channel flusher, and pipeline dredge. Hopper dredge and hopper barge techniques are used to maintain the main Rogue River channel. The entrance to the boat basin is generally maintained by pipeline dredge, although clam-shell and backhoe dredges have been used in the past. To date, more than 3.8 million cubic yards (cy) have been disposed at sea, 494,000 cy of which have been disposed in the Rogue River interim disposal site since 1977, when the site received its interim designation. The preferred alternative would be permanent designation of the interim site. The approximate location of the site is two nautical miles from the Rogue River Entrance. The 116-acre site has dimensions of 3,600 feet by 1,400 feet and an average depth of 60 feet. Specific coordinates of the preferred site are as follows: 42 degrees, 24 minutes, 15 seconds north latitude (N), 124 degrees, 26 minutes, 52 seconds west longitude (W); 42 degrees, 24 minutes, 23 seconds N, 124 degrees, 26 minutes, 39 seconds W; 42 degrees, 23 minutes, 39 seconds N, 124 degrees, 27 minutes, 17 seconds W; and 42 degrees, 23 minutes, 51 seconds N, 124 degrees, 27 minutes, 30 seconds W. The center of the site would be at 42 degrees, 24 minutes, 59 seconds N, 124 degrees, 27 minutes, 4 seconds W. Disposal operations are expected to occur over a period of no more than two years. Site monitoring would include routine bathymetric scans to assess mounding at the disposal site. Monitoring stations, including a control station, stations located immediately outside the site, and stations located some distance down-current of the site, would be sampled for grain-size analysis, chemical characterization of sediments, and macrobenthic invertebrates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the ocean disposal site would provide for an environmentally acceptable location for the disposal of dredged materials from the Rogue River navigation project, allowing for maintenance of the channels and basins as appropriate and continued navigational access to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of the proposed site would result in temporary turbidity, temporary loss of benthic biota at the site, potential alteration of site bathymetry, and sediment composition.

Preparation date: September 16, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 264 BYPASS OF WILSON, WILSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36394221; 3271 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bypass of Wilson, North Carolina is proposed. The project, which would be located entirely in Wilson County, would form a link between the US 264 freeway west of Wilson and the US 264 freeway east of Wilson at Greenville. The 13.05-mile facility would feature four travel lanes, providing two 24-foot pavements in each direction separated by a 60-foot median. Outside shoulders would be 12 feet wide, with 2 feet being paved. The highway would require a 300-foot rights-of-way. The recommended alignment would leave the existing US 264 Freeway near State Route (SR) 1001, cross Interstate 95 (I-95) and North Carolina (NC) 42, pass to the south of the Wiggins Mill Reservoir, cross US 301 and US 117, and tie into the proposed Wilson-to-Greenville freeway at NC 58. Interchanges would be provided at the western terminus of the project, I-95, NC 42, SR 1163 (Downing Street), US 301, SR 1606 (Old Black Creek Road), and NC 58. Grade separation structures would be provided at SR 1136 (Old Raleigh Road), SR 1162 (Hornes Bridge Road), SR 1103 (Old Smithfield Road), and SR 1602 (Old Stantonsburg Road). Three CSX and one Carolina & Northwestern railroad crossings would be provided. The design speed for the freeway would be 70 miles per hour (mph), but the posted speed limit would be 55 mph. Average daily traffic on the bypass would range from 8,000 to 10,800 vehicles per day in 1990 and from 14,500 to 19,300 vehicles per day in the year 2010. The estimated cost of the project is $98.3 million, including $20.6 million for rights-of-way acquisition. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Provision of the bypass would relieve traffic congestion on existing US 264 through Wilson and allow for rapid long-distance travel. A missing link in the transportation system would be remedied with the creation of a connection between Zebulon and Greenville. Once the project is completed, US 264 would be a continuous freeway from the east coast to the central portion of the state. Planned growth along the corridor would be accommodated, and an inadequate stretch of highway would be replaced with a safer, more efficient facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 18 residences and 5 businesses. The alignment would cross the floodplain of Sheppards Branch-Contentnea Creek and the Contentnea Creek-Hominy Swamp. Floodplain crossings at Sheppards Branch and Contentnea Creek would be at angles near 90 degrees, resulting in minimal involvement, but floodplain involvement associated with the Contentnea Creek-Hominy Swamp crossing would be more extensive. The project would displace 166.2 acres of wetlands and 325 acres of prime farmlands. Noise levels would increase within the project corridor.

AN - 36407662; 3297 AB - PURPOSE: Designation of an ocean dredged material disposal site in the Pacific Ocean off the mouth of the Chetco River in Oregon is proposed. The Chetco River enters the Pacific Ocean near the town of Brookings, approximately 300 miles south of the Columbia River. The proposed site, which has served as an interim site since 1977, is located approximately one mile south of the Chetco River entrance. The area in which the site is located has been used by the Portland Army Corp of Engineers as a disposal area since 1963. The site dimensions are 1,800 feet by 1,800 feet, and the site would have an average depth of 70 feet. The site occupies approximately 74 acres (0.08 square nautical mile). Exact site boundaries would be 42 degrees, 1 minute, 55 seconds north latitude (N) by 124 degrees, 16 minutes, 37 seconds west longitude (W); 42 degrees, 1 minute, 55 seconds N by 124 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds W; 42 degrees, 1 minute, 37 seconds N by 124 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds W; and 42 degrees, 1 minute, 37 seconds N by 124 degrees, 16 minutes, 37 seconds W. The channel from which the material is to be dredged includes a 14-foot-deep, 120-foot-wide entrance channel; a 14-foot-deep, 250-foot-wide, 650-foot long barge turning basin; and a 100-foot-wide, 12-foot-deep small-boat access channel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing a permanent disposal option for material dredged from navigation channels in the Chetco River, site designation would support economic uses of the river channels. Federal channels in the Chetco River must be maintained to decrease waiting times for vessels crossing the bar, provide adequate channel dimensions for tugs, barges, and commercial fishing vessels, provide mooring facilities for small boats, permit barge and small boat traffic upstream to river mile 0.2, and provide a harbor of refuge. The site would provide the most suitable means for disposing of dredged material in terms of environmental and navigational requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dumping of material at the proposed site would result in the temporary alteration of site topography via mounding, smothering of benthos, and temporary disturbance of the water column due to turbidity and chemical releases, as well as in the reduction of dissolved oxygen levels. Habitat at the site could be altered. LEGAL MANDATES: Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1945 (P.L. 79-14).

AN - 36405419; 3265 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, partially access-controlled, divided highway within the US 51 corridor in Christian, Shelby, and Macon counties, Illinois is proposed. The 32-mile highway would extend from US 51 south of Pana to Federal Aid Primary (FAP) Route 322 near Elwin and would include the communities of Pana, Assumption, Moweaqua, Macon, and Elwin. The project would consist of upgrading the existing two-lane highway to a four-lane facility. In addition to the No Action Alternative, thru-town, eastern, and western alignments were considered; however, only alignments that skirt closely the eastern boundaries of the communities involved have been retained for detailed evaluation. The exception would be in the vicinity of Macon, where a far eastern alignment continues to receive detailed consideration. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $195.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the highway would promote economic development along the US 51 corridor south of Decatur, correct operational deficiencies in the existing US 51 facility, provide a safer transportation corridor, and provide better system continuity with existing regional interstates. Using alignments that would closely skirt the boundaries of the communities involved would enhance economic stimulation of affected communities, require less rights-of-way than other alternative alignments, and minimize disruption to farming operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements of 739 to 754 acres would result in the displacement of 12 residences, 9 businesses, and 3 farmhouses and 30 to 31 other farm structures. In addition, the project would displace 11 to 12 acres of wetlands, 3 acres of upland forests, 1 acre of pastures/hayfields, 2 acres of native grasslands, 1 acre of shrublands, and 5 acres of urban lands. From 710 to 724 acres of farmlands, associated with 126 farms, would be affected. The highway would traverse three floodplains and sever land associated with 64 to 66 farms. From 21 to 25 agricultural parcels, containing 97 to 114 acres, would be landlocked.

AN - 36402865; 3282 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the New River Parkway from Hinton to Interstate 64 (I-64) in Raleigh and Summers counties, West Virginia is proposed. The parkway would be a two-lane facility extending north from the intersection of Raleigh County Route 26 and West Virginia (WV) 20 near Hinton to I-64 where it crosses the New River at the Raleigh-Summers County line. The parkway would parallel the New River for approximately 10 miles. Alternative alignments are located within the boundaries of the New River Gorge National River corridor. The design of the parkway would provide a park-like driving experience through scenic natural landscapes. The facility would be a combination of new alignment and grade and salvage of existing road where appropriate. Some 80 alterative segments have been examined to some extent. Along with the establishment of the New River Gorge National River, the National Park Service has produced four plans to guide the management and development of the river corridor over the next 10 to 15 years. The highway would constitute a part of the development design. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Access to the New River would increase, enhancing visitation for fishing, hunting, and sightseeing. Long-term planning for management and development of the corridor would be eased, and economic indicators associated with recreational resources would improve substantially in contiguous areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in some residential relocations; loss of farmlands, recreational facilities and lands, and some historic and archaeologic sites would also be affected. Small portions of wetlands would be impacted, and unstable soils could be encountered.

Preparation date: September 12, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF LAKE GREESON, LAKE OUACHITA, AND DEGRAY LAKE, ARKANSAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1978). AN - 36406723; 3290 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan is proposed to improve water quality and enhance fisheries associated with Lake Greeson and the Little Missouri River immediately below the lake in Arkansas. This document supplements the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of January 1978 on operation and maintenance of Lake Greeson, Lake Ouachita, and Degray Lake. The current plan for water quality and fisheries improvements would involve placement of steel plates on the trash racks under two pipe outlets of the hydroelectric turbines in Narrows Dam. The racks would be placed at an elevation of 519 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) in front of two of the hydroelectric turbines in Narrows Dam. Although the water level at Lake Greeson has never dropped below elevation 519 NGVD, the trash rack modification would be designed to allow for removal should this ever occur to allow for hydropower operation. In addition, three lowhead weirs would be constructed and boulders randomly placed in the Little Missouri River below Narrows Dam. Weirs would be placed at river miles 103.9, 100.4, and 99.0. Approximately 450 tons of rock would be required for each weir. Hydropower water would be drawn from higher lake levels to prevent oxygen deficiency during periods of high rainfall. Other management techniques proposed by the state Game and Fish Commission related to this project would include corrective stockings of native fish in the renovated river, a reduced harvest of selected stocked fish (i.e., bass) to improve catch, and improved access to the river, including bank fishing, additional boat ramps, and barrier-free fishing areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would result in significant improvements to downstream water quality and in the native and introduced fisheries in the Little Missouri River. Facilities to be installed would provide warmer, more oxygenated water releases downstream during hydropower operation. Lowhead weirs would sustain some minimum water flow between releases and random placement of small boulders in the river would provide aeration and increase fish habitat. The project would also improve the fishery in Lake Greeson by reducing the potential for oxygen-deficient fish kills. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some economic losses could result from the potential loss of operating turbine 3 at current capacity due to overheating. A minimal amount of river bed excavation (80 to 140 cubic yards) would be required due to the presence of bedrock at weir sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1944, as amended (P.L. 78-534).

Preparation date: September 11, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED SMITH CREEK PARKWAY AND DOWNTOWN SPUR, WILMINGTON, NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1980). AN - 36394163; 3269 AB - PURPOSE: This final supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) updates and supplements the final EIS of September 1980 for the construction of the Smith Creek Parkway and Downtown Spur within the city of Wilmington and adjacent unincorporated areas of New Hanover County, North Carolina. The 1980 final EIS called for construction of a six-mile, four-lane parkway east of Wilmington that would extend from NC 133 at the Northeast Cape Fear River to US 74 east of the city and a two-mile Downtown Spur that would extend from US 117 (Castle Hayne Road) at Smith Creek to 3rd Street in downtown Wilmington. The parkway would cross two sets of railroad tracks on grade separation structures and Burnt Mill Creek on a bridge structure. Access to the parkway would be provided at two interchanges. The parkway would have a design speed of 60 miles per hour (mph), while the spur would have a design speed of 45 mph. This supplemental EIS considers the preferred alignment identified in the final EIS and several locally divergent alternative alignments at selected locations. These alternative alignments were developed in response to adjacent developments occurring after 1980 and newly discovered existing conditions. The preferred alternative includes alignment sections for segments extending from the beginning of the project at the Cape Fear River to McRae Street, from Kornegay Avenue to NC 132, and from US 17 to US 74. An alternative alignment would be used from McRae Street to King Street and from 3rd Street to NC 133 north of Smith Creek to minimize conflicts with a local landfill. Two other alignment alternatives would be used for the segments between King Street and Kornegay Avenue and between NC 132 and US 17. Issues considered in this EIS include the effects of local completion of Interstate 40 (I-40); discovery of two abandoned landfills on the 1980 preferred alignment between McRae Street and Burnt Mill Creek; discovery of hazardous materials on the site of the abandoned Caro-Knit Textile Plant in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of 23rd Street and Smith Creek Boulevard; additional wetland involvement; alteration of the alignment in the north terminus of the Downtown Spur to include a new bridge crossing of Smith Creek; development of DEG Studios (now Carolco Studios) in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of 23rd Street and Smith Creek Boulevard; construction of the Dorothy B. Johnson Elementary School east of McRae Street; expansion of the Corning Glassworks Plant east of College Road (NC 132) to include the production of fiber optics cable; expansion of residential development east of Kerr Avenue, particularly within the Crestview Estates Subdivision east of College Road; and growth of Port Wilmington and the increasing importance of transportation access to the port facility. The estimated cost of the project under the preferred alternative is $84.68 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Parkway and spur construction would implement a portion of the Wilmington Thoroughfare Plan under consideration since 1972. East-west access between downtown Wilmington and the rapidly developing eastern suburbs and coastal resort areas in adjacent New Hanover County would be improved substantially. The segment of I-40 extending to the Wilmington area would be complemented. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace acres of land not committed to other uses and 44 residences. The project would detract from community cohesion in the Brooklyn neighborhood and would result in noise and vibration impacts. The highway facility would displace upland and wetland habitat, as well as floodplain storage capacity. Certain aesthetic, cultural, and social values within the corridor would be affected. The facility could encroach on land affected by a hazardous waste facility. Substantial quantities of structural steel, asphalt, concrete, fill, and other construction materials would be committed to the project.

Preparation date: September 9, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - GREENSBORO WESTERN URBAN LOOP, FROM LAWNDALE DRIVE NEAR COTTAGE PLACE TO I-85 SOUTH NEAR HOLDEN ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 14 MILES, IN GUILFORD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (STATE PROJECT NO. 6.498001T). AN - 36411869; 3267 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a freeway on new location is proposed in Guilford County, North Carolina to provide a bypass of Greensboro. The new four- to eight-lane facility, to be known as the Greensboro Western Urban Loop, would extend, within a minimum right-of-way of 300 feet, from Interstate 85 (I-85) to Lawndale Drive (State Route (SR) 2303), a distance of approximately 14 miles. Lawndale Drive is the northern terminus of the proposed Greensboro Eastern/Northern Urban Loop. Access to the facility would be controlled via interchanges and grade separation structures. Three freeway construction alternatives have been analyzed in detail. The 11.4-mile Eastern Alternative would follow the 1989 Greensboro Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan alignment, crossing I-40 between Wendover Avenue (SR 1541) and NC 6 (Patterson Street) and extending northward to West Market Street (US 421) and Friendly Avenue (SR 2147). From Friendly Avenue, the Eastern Alternative would generally parallel Jefferson Road and New Garden Road. The Eastern Alternative would join the Western and Middle alternatives west of US 220 (Battleground Avenue) and extend to Lawndale Drive. The 13.6-mile Middle Alternative would begin at Campground Road, cross I-40 near Guilford College Road, cross West market Street near Swing Road, cross Friendly Avenue near Meadowcreek Lane, and join the Western Alternative just south of Fleming Road. The Western and Middle alternatives would be coterminus from Fleming Road to Lawndale Drive. The 14.5-mile Western Alternative would begin at Campground Road and I-85, extend northwest to cross I-40 near Chimney Rock Road, cross West Market Street and Friendly Avenue near Stagecoach Trail, continue north to Fleming Road, and turn east to cross Lawndale Drive just north of Cottage Place. Three crossovers that shift between the alternative alignments at key locations have also been studied. These crossovers would enable portions of different alternative alignments to be combined. Estimated costs of the Eastern, Middle, and Western alternatives are $195.5 million, $191.3 million, and $178.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic needs in the Greensboro area would be met and the goals of the 1989 Greensboro Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan would be fulfilled so far as the affected corridors are concerned. Existing and planned thoroughfares would be connected, and the project would constitute a portion of a full urban loop, helping to remove long-distance traffic from local facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of hundreds of residences, including minority residences. In addition, rights-of-way developments would result in the loss of significant areas of field, forest, and urban land as well as some open water. Up to 81.3 acres of floodplains would be affected, and some 23 streams would be crossed. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Two sites eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places would be affected, and the highway could traverse a number of hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: September 5, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF US 220 TO A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED FACILITY ON NEW LOCATION THAT EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY 15.3 MILES FROM EMERY TO SOUTH OF ELLERBE IN MONTGOMERY AND RICHMOND COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA (FEDERAL AID PROJECT F-45-1(42)). AN - 36407271; 3270 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a US 220 bypass is proposed in Montgomery and Richmond counties, North Carolina. The study corridor extends from a point approximately 15.3 miles from Emery to south of Ellerbe. US 220 is located approximately 60 miles east of and generally parallel to Interstate 77 (I-77) and provides connections to I-40/I-85, US 64, and US 74, which are all east-west routes through the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina. The new highway would be a four-lane divided roadway, with full control of access within a minimum right-of-way of 350 feet. Extra right-of-way width would be necessary in areas where deep cuts or fill are required, as well as in interchange zones. The design speed would be 70 miles per hour. The highway would bypass the towns of Ellerbe and Norman. Under consideration are two eastern, one western, and one middle alignments. Five to six interchanges would control access to the facility. The estimated cost of the project ranges from $56.6 million to $67.7 million, depending on the alignment chosen. Benefit-cost ratio estimates range from 1.07 to 1.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Highway construction would improve a major traffic route connecting the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point Triad urban areas with the coastal areas of North and South Carolina. The facility directly serves a corridor that extends from Roanoke, Virginia and traverses North Carolina to its border with South Carolina. It provides a vital transportation link between the communities in and along the corridor, as well as access to other routes serving the entire southeastern seaboard. Through traffic would be removed from local roads within Ellerbe and Norman. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alignment chosen, 737 to 792 acres of rights-of-way would be developed, resulting in the dislocation of 10 to 31 residences, 1 to 2 businesses, and perhaps 1 cemetery. Other land use displacements would affect 202 to 354 acres of managed timberland, 155 to 255 acres of other forested land, 165 to 395 acres of farmlands, 7 to 24 acres of currently disturbed lands, and up to 2 acres of open water. Three to four archaeological sites would be affected. From 31 to 36 drainageways would be crossed, impacting 21.3 to 24.2 acres of wetlands. Noise standards would be violated at 7 to 17 residences. Two alternatives would cross potentially hazardous waste sites. The bypass would decrease business related to through traffic on existing US 220 through Norman and Ellerbe.

In addition to being the major north-south corridor from Florida to Maine, in the Washington, D.C. area, the Interstate 95 (I-95) corridor serves as the eastern half of the Capital Beltway. The existing bridge is 90 feet wide and approximately 5,900 feet long. It has a 222-foot drawspan, with a 50-foot vertical clearance over the river's navigation channel in the closed portion. Maryland maintains the bridge, Virginia furnishes all the electric power and water service, and the District of Columbia operates the drawspan and maintains the machinery. The bridge was designed to carry 75,000 vehicles per day. The intense land development and increased travel demand in the Washington metropolitan area since the bridge opened has resulted in current daily traffic counts averaging 160,000 vehicles. The study corridor for the currently proposed project extends from Telegraph Road in Virginia to Route 210 (Indian Head Highway) in Maryland. Six build alternatives are under consideration. Two Existing Alignment Bridge alternatives would use the existing bridge alignment along with a new alignment crossing the river 70 feet south of the existing bridge. Under one of these alternatives the existing bridge would continue to be used, while the other alternative would involve replacement of the existing bridge with a new bridge at the same location. The Southern Alignment Bridge Alternative would involve construction of two new parallel bridges spanning the Potomac River approximately 1,800 feet downriver from the existing bridge. The Split Alignment Bridge Alternative would retain the existing bridge and provide a new bridge 1,800 feet to the south. The Existing Alignment Tunnel Alternative would involve construction of an 11,000-foot, six-lane tunnel immediately south of the existing alignment, which would replace the existing bridge. The Split Alignment Tunnel Alternative would involve construction of a 4,000-foot, eight-lane tunnel, which would be used in combination with the existing bridge. Estimated costs of the bridge alternatives range from $810.0 million to $1.41 billion, while costs for the tunnel alternatives are $898.0 million and $1.41 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bridge or tunnel improvements would alleviate problems caused by one of the weakest links in the I-95 system, which constitutes the major north-south transportation facility for the East Coast. Current and future inadequacies in traffic capacity at the crossing would be eliminated. Air quality would improve due to easing of traffic movements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the acquisition of 50 to more than 71 acres of land. Selection of the existing bridge alignment in combination with a new bridge or the tunnel alternatives would result in the displacement of significant numbers of residences and could result in the displacement of commercial uses. All build alternatives, except the Existing Alignment Tunnel Alternative, would result in the taking of parklands. Acquisition of one potentially hazardous waste site would be necessary under the Existing Alignment Bridge and Tunnel alternatives. Wetlands and floodplains associated with the Potomac River would be affected by all alternatives. Numerous sensitive receptors would be subject to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Each candidate build alternative could have an adverse effect on one or more of six properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and 10 submerged archaeological sites could be affected.

Preparation date: September 3, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LOS ANGELES COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA REVIEW, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406754; 3291 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan for flood control is proposed for the Los Angeles County Drainage Area (LACDA) of California. The LACDA mainstem system encompasses the drainage basins of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers, the Rio Hondo, and the Tujunga Wash. During the 40 years since its construction, the ability of LACDA flood control measures to provide a high level of protection has diminished. Under the preferred alternative, available flood protection in the lower Los Angeles Basin would be modified; these modifications would involve the Rio Hondo from Whittier Narrows Dam to the Los Angeles River and the corridor continuing down the Los Angeles River to the Pacific Ocean. The modifications would include: (1) raising the effective channel height by building parapet walls on 21 miles of existing levees; (2) raising or modifying 27 bridges to accommodate the parapet walls; (3) widening 1.5 miles of channel, which would also be converted to a rectangular cross-section below the confluence with the Rio Hondo; (4) armoring the land side of the levees in four locations; and (5) applying a concrete overlay in reaches with an existing rough-grouted stone channel surface. The parapet walls would be constructed along the existing channels of the lower Rio Hondo, Los Angeles River, and Compton Creek. Modification of channel walls could be made to convey the 133-year frequency flow for the lower reach of the Los Angeles River without requiring that the Artesia /Long Beach Freeway overcrossing be raised. The estimated first cost of the project is $337.4 million, and the annualized cost is estimated at $46.5 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing flood flows in lands abutting the affected rivers, the project would reduce the potential for human suffering and possible loss of life due to catastrophic failure of the flood control system. Protection would be provided against flows from 100- to 133-year frequency events. Annual gross and net benefits are estimated at $60.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Aesthetic values in the vicinity of some wetland areas would be degraded. The eligibility of affected bridges for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places will be determined prior to project implementation. Biking and hiking trails along the affected rivers could be disrupted temporarily during construction. Other land uses would be disturbed during construction, and noise levels would be significant.

AN - 36385973; 3272 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of the existing urban transportation system in the Westside Corridor of the Portland metropolitan area of Oregon is proposed. The locally preferred alternative involves construction of an 11.5-mile Light Rail Transit (LRT) line to Southwest (SW) 185th Avenue. The alignment would begin at SW 11th Avenue where the existing LRT alignment ends. The LRT extension along SW Morrison Street and SW Yamhill Street to SW 18th Avenue would consist of one track on both SW Morrison Street and SW Yamhill Street and a single traffic lane on the right side of each street. At SW Morrison Street, between SW 17th Avenue and SW 18th Avenue, the westbound light rail tracks would turn diagonally through the block bounded by SW 18th Avenue, SW 17th Avenue, SW Morrison Street, and SW Yamhill Street to join the eastbound light rail tracks at SW Yamhill Street and SW 18th Avenue. The eastbound and westbound light rail tracks would occupy the center of SW 18th Avenue from SW Yamhill Street to just north of Collins Circle, where the tracks would turn west onto the south side of SW Jefferson Street. The line would run west from Collins Circle on the south side of SW Jefferson Street. The rail would enter a tunnel portal just east of SW Canyon Road, travelling within a twin-tube tunnel under the West Hills and bypassing the Sunset Highway Canyon. The LRT would cross underneath Sunset Highway in a box structure, parallel the existing southbound on-ramp to Highway 217 and continue along the west side of Highway 217 until it turns west south of and parallel to Center Street. The alignment would pass through the LynMarie Apartments, skirt the north side of the Canyon Place Shopping Center, proceed southwest through the existing Beaverton Transit Center, cross SW Hall Boulevard and SW Watson Avenue, continue along the BN Railroad right-of-way to a point just east of 153rd Avenue. From there to SW Baseline Road, the rail would occupy a new right-of-way north of the existing BN Railroad mainline tracks. From SW Baseline Road to the existing Willow Creek trestle, the rail would occupy the existing BN Railroad right-of-way, with the BN tracks reconstructed on a new right-of-way to the south. From the trestle to the end of the line just west of SW 185th Avenue, the rail would parallel the existing BN track on new rights-of-way to the north. The line would be supported by 12 stations and 5 park-and-ride lots containing 3,050 spaces. Approximately 29 light rail vehicles would be required for operation of the new line. The technology and design concepts used on the existing Eastside line would generally be used for the Westside line, and the two lines would be through-routed to the maximum extent possible. Nearly all of the rights-of-way would be either physically separated from other traffic or reserved for transit use only, with intersections protected by gates or a traffic signal preemption system. Along high-speed sections, operation of the rail would be guarded by a train signal system, permitting an overall average speed of approximately 24 miles per hour, including dwell times at stations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The LRT system would provide significantly higher levels of service than would otherwise be anticipated. Ridership would increase, while commuter travel time would decrease. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The LRT system would require more transfers for transit users than the current system. Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 44 single- and 66 multifamily residential units and 33 businesses. Project structures would substantially alter the visual environment within the corridor. Air quality within the corridor would improve somewhat. Unless control measures are successfully implemented, as many as 125 receptors would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Approximately 12.2 acres of trees would be removed, and 6.5 acres of wetlands would be affected. The project would encounter 33 hazardous waste sites. One historically significant site and two archaeologically significant sites would be impacted. Two acres of land within three parks would be displaced.

Preparation date: August 30, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEW SAN CLEMENTE PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36405806; 3292 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a dam on the Carmel River to create a 16,000- to 24,000-acre-foot reservoir approximately 16 miles southeast of Monterey, Monterey County, California is proposed. Regardless of the alternative storage capacity chosen, the project would involve construction of a roller-compacted concrete dam, with a crest length of 750 to 900 feet, that could be raised to impound as much as 45,000 acre-feet if authorized at some future date. The surface area of the reservoir would range from 225 to 306 acres at the spillway crest elevation. The reservoir project would also include inlet and outlet structures, fish facilities, wells in Carmel Valley and Seaside, a water treatment plant in Begonia, a management plan for allocation and phasing of yield, and development of passive recreational facilities. A 3.0-million-gallon-per-day desalination plant would be included in the project design. Sites under consideration for the desalination plant include a site near the city of Marina and the Pacific Gas and Electric power plant at Moss Landing. Estimated capital costs of the project range from $90.1 million to $125.9 million. Annual capital cost estimates range from $4.4 million to $13.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project would provide municipal water supply to meet both short- and long-term needs of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, afford drought protection, and restore high-level water quality in the Carmel River. Water supply demands through the year 2020 would be met. Numerous employment opportunities would be created during the construction period. Fish spawning activity would increase significantly. Destruction of riparian vegetation in the area would decrease due to increased groundwater flows. Cooler river waters during the summer would benefit steelhead trout. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Streamflows would be reduced, resulting in the possible degradation of steelhead spawning and upstream migration conditions. In general, extended periods of inadequate flow could affect the Carmel River, degrading riparian habitat. Creation of the reservoir would inundate substantial land area, destroying vegetation and associated terrestrial habitat. Affected land would include 23 acres within the Ventana Wilderness, requiring the exchange of 140 acres of adjacent land for the wilderness land. Average residential water rates would increase by $13.72 to $19.49 per month.

Preparation date: August 29, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BLACKSBURG/ROANOKE CONNECTOR, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA. AN - 36411909; 3277 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new roadway in Montgomery County, Virginia is proposed to provide a direct link between Blacksburg and Roanoke and to relieve traffic congestion along Route 460 between Blacksburg and Interstate 81 (I-81). The four-lane facility to be constructed would follow a new alignment from the new Route 460 Bypass to I-81. The highway, which would be constructed within a 180-foot right-of-way, would provide four 12-foot travel lanes, a 40-foot graded median, and 12- to 15-foot shoulders with appropriately sized drainage ditches. Three build alternatives, 6, 7, and 10, remain under consideration. Alternative 6, which would extend 5.0 miles, would begin 0.32 mile southeast of South Main Street at the new Route 460 Bypass and continue to I-81, 2.3 miles northeast of the intersection of Routes 11/460 and I-81. It would then span the Ellett Valley, interchange with Route 723, enter the mountainous region adjacent to and generally paralleling Route 641, and connect to I-81 north of the Route 641 underpass. Alternative 7, which would extend 7.8 miles, would begin 0.32 mile southeast of South Main Street at the new Route 460 Bypass and continue to I-81, 2.42 miles southwest of the Route 603 interchange. It would span Route 723, follow the Route 603 corridor toward the Roanoke Valley, curve to the south to cross Route 603 and the North Fork Roanoke River, run through Pedlar Hills, and intersect I-81 southwest of the Route 603 interchange. An interchange would connect Alternative 7 with Route 723 in the Ellett Valley. Alternative 10, which would extend 9.9 miles, would begin at the same point as alternatives 6 and 7 and continue to the I-81 interchange with Route 603. It would follow the same alignment as Alternative 7, except that it would continue to follow the Route 603 corridor along the North Fork Roanoke River, connecting to I-81 at the existing interchange with Route 603. Interchanges would connect Alternative 10 with Route 723 in Ellett Valley, Route 647 near Ironto, and Route 603 west of I-81. The estimated costs of alternatives 6, 7, and 10 are $80.0 million, $116.0 million, and $138.8 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a direct link between Blacksburg and Roanoke and relieving traffic congestion between Blacksburg and I-81, the roadway would serve as a test facility for ""smart highway'' technology. The Montgomery County area offers unique qualities insofar as its varying terrain and extremes of weather present an opportunity to test developing technology under adverse conditions. Truck traffic would be removed from the congested commercial area along Route 460, and access control on the new route would prevent commercial development that would again result in congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace up to 70 families and 5 businesses. The North Fork Roanoke River and its tributaries would be traversed, impacting a Category 2 candidate endangered species of fish. From 0.03 to 2.28 acres of wetlands would be displaced. Noise levels would be increased at various locations along the new highway.

AN - 36394307; 3278 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of 1.01 miles of US 340 in Warren County, Virginia is proposed. Existing US 340 serves as a major north-south corridor between the Massanutten and Blue Ridge Mountain ranges. Located in northwestern Virginia, the roadway extends from the West Virginia state line to Greensville, Virginia, paralleling Skyline Drive throughout most of its length. The project would begin at a point 1.013 miles south of the South Corporate Limits of Front Royal and extend north 1.01 miles to the South Corporate Limits of Front Royal at Criser Road. The project would follow the existing roadway and would upgrade the facility to a four-lane divided highway, with two 24-foot-wide pavements separated by a 100-foot-wide natural grass and/or forested median. Two build alternatives and the No Build option were evaluated. The selected alternative, Alternative B, would use 2.5-foot-wide curb-and-gutter sections on both sides of the pavement. Right- and left-turn lanes would be provided at the entrance to Skyline Drive/Shenandoah National Park, Routes 649 and 619, and Criser Road. The Skyline Drive entrance would be moved south 0.15 mile and the intersection of Browntown Road (Route 649) would be moved south 0.22 mile. The design of Alternative B is compatible with the development of a grade-separated interchange at the Shenandoah National Park entrance. To accommodate construction, the preferred alternative would require a minimum 200-foot-wide rights-of-way. The estimated costs for rights-of-way acquisition, purchase of a land parcel to use in exchange for land from Shenandoah National Park, construction, and landscaping are approximately $4.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected alternative would provide sufficient capacity to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes in the design year (2013), fulfilling the transportation needs of the area. Traffic increases due to growth in the population of Warren County since 1970 would be accommodated. This alternative was selected because it will create a park-like atmosphere along the project corridor within the Shenandoah National park boundaries. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for alternatives A and B would result in the displacement of 18.4 acres of forestland within the Shenandoah National Park. Habitat associated with this land would be lost as well. Removal of forestland for highway use will constitute a visual impact. The project will cross two intermittent tributaries of the South Fork Shenandoah River.

Preparation date: August 27, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CHELYAN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, WVA 61, KANAWHA COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (STATE PROJECT NUMBER S220-P61-0.00). AN - 36386048; 3281 AB - PURPOSE: Replacement of the existing two-lane Chelyan Bridge and approaches with a four-lane bridge and approaches is proposed. The present bridge, which connects US 60 in the Quincy area of Kanawha County in West Virginia, on the northeastern edge of the Kanawha River, with WVA 61 in Chelyan to the southwest, was built in 1929. The bridge is a cantilever Pennsylvania through truss, approximately 1,600 feet long, including approaches, and 24 feet wide, providing a 20-foot-wide roadway with a 4-foot-wide sidewalk. The existing bridge has become structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. Currently posted for a 12-ton limit, the bridge is heavily used by coal trucks and commercial vehicles for the mining industry and serves as the main connector for the communities in the upper Kanawha Valley. US 60, a national east-west highway, located for the most part in West Virginia, is a two-lane highway extending from near Covington, Virginia at the West Virginia state line to near Asland, Kentucky. WVA 61 is a north-south two-lane highway with its southern terminus in Beckley, West Virginia and its northern terminus at South Charleston, West Virginia. An interchange with I-77 (West Virginia Turnpike) is located at Chelyan, providing access to and from US 60/WVA 61 via Kanawha Co. 72. Six build alternatives and a No Build Alternative were considered. Under the preferred alternative (2B), a 2,700-foot-long bridge would be constructed approximately 1,400 feet downstream of the existing bridge and approximately 300 feet above the mouth of Slaughter Creek. A ""T'' intersection connection would be provided with US 60 and an eastward ramp would be provided to connect the facility to another ""T'' intersection with WV 61. A separate US 60 eastbound lane under the new bridge would be provided, and a portion of US 60 would be upgraded to four lanes. The construction cost is estimated at $26.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Improved speed, safety, and efficiency would be the facility's major benefits. Less energy consumption would also result. The number and variety of terrestrial biota affected by construction would be minimal. All sections of approach roadway fill areas would be properly landscaped and provided with vegetative cover to prevent erosion and provide for a pleasant visual appearance. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 16 residences and 4 businesses. Unless abatement measures are taken, a number of sites will be exposed to noise standards in excess of federal standards. Fill material would be placed in the 100-year floodplain, and the project would displace wetlands and associated wildlife habitat. Historic and archaeologic resources, including the existing bridge, would be impacted as well.

Preparation date: August 19, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SUNBEAM MINING PROJECT, GOLD MINE AND MILL, CUSTER COUNTY, IDAHO: GROUSE CREEK PROJECT (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 1984). AN - 36410846; 3234 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the expansion of the Sunbeam Mining Project, a gold and silver mine, on the Challis National Forest in Custer County, Idaho is proposed. The expanded portion of the project, which would be known as the Grouse Creek Project, would involve two mine pits within the Grouse Creek drainage containing gold and silver. This draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement of September 1984 on the nearby Sunbeam Mining Project addresses decisions to be made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) regarding permits applied for under Sections 402 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. These decisions are based on modifications in the project proposal by the Hecla Mining Company, the permit applicant. As currently proposed, the Grouse Creek project would have six primary components, including a mine pit in the Grouse Creek drainage, a waste dump, a tailings impoundment in the Pinyon Basin, a pit area processing facility, ore and waste haul roads, and access roads. A total of 470 acres would be disturbed. Approximately 3,600 tons of ore would be mined per day for a period of eight years. Ore would be processed in a milling scheme that combines a conventional counter current decant system with a carbon-in-pulp circuit to achieve optimal recovery of precious metals. The mill would operate at 3,000 tons per day with Sunbeam ore and 3,600 tons per day with Grouse Creek ore. Cyanide would be used in the milling process to recover the precious metals. Waste rock would be hauled from the pits and placed in the waste dump, which would be stabilized with rock keyblock constructed on bedrock at the waste dump toe. The lined tailings impoundment would have two embankments constructed to store 9.5 million tons of tailings. The tailings impoundment embankments would be constructed using waste rock from the Sunbeam pit. Approximately 5.0 million tons of Grouse Creek waste rock would be placed in the mined-out Sunbeam pit. Haul roads would be 60 feet wide. Access road development would involve upgrading Beaver-Loon Creek Road to accommodate two lanes of traffic throughout much of its length. Additional new road construction would involve approximately 8,750 feet of double-lane road for access to the project. The Forest Service's preferred alternative is the same as the project design proposed by Hecla Mining Company, with some modifications, involving alteration of the primary access route. EPA concurs with this preferred alternative, but COE will not identify a preferred alternative until its investigations under the Clean Water Act have been completed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of mining facilities in the area would increase the U.S. supply of gold and silver. Employment, personal income, and the associated tax base in Custer County would increase somewhat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grouse Creek Project developments and operations would result in the disturbance of 470 acres. Geochemical analyses indicate that there would be a moderate potential for acid leaching from the waste dump for waste rock mined from the Sunbeam pit. Surface water quality within Jordan Creek and Grouse Creek could be affected by sediment discharges, acid drainage, spills from transporting tailings or chemicals, and leakage through the tailings impoundment liner. Process makeup water requirements could result in substantial groundwater withdrawals. Small streams and wetlands would be filled. Some visual, cultural, transportation, and recreation impacts would be expected, but these would be minimal.

Preparation date: August 16, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - COMPREHENSIVE BASE REALIGNMENT AND PARTIAL CLOSURE FOR FORT GEORGE G. MEADE AND FORT HOLABIRD, ANNE ARUNDEL AND BALTIMORE COUNTIES, MARYLAND. AN - 36394399; 3224 AB - PURPOSE: Realignment and partial closure of Fort George G. Meade in Anne Arundel County and Fort Holabird in Baltimore County, Maryland are proposed. Fort Meade is a 13,670-acre Army installation, and Fort Holabird is a 14-acre Army installation. Under the realignment and partial closure action, activities of the Criminal Investigation Command (CIDC) at both locations would be consolidated at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and excess military property would be disposed. Approximately 9,000 acres of Fort Meade would be closed; however, this environmental impact statement (EIS) does not address the 7,600 acres of that total that would be transferred to the Department of the Interior under the fiscal year (FY) 1991 Military Construction Appropriations Act, to be added to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. This EIS addresses the remaining 1,400-acre parcel at Fort Meade that would be closed and excessed, partial closure of Fort Holabird, and realignment of CIDC functions to Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The 1,400-acre parcel to be excessed at Fort Meade consists of woodlands, wetlands, and the 400-acre Tipton Army Airfield. The U.S. Army Reserve aviation facilities and the fire station on Tipton Army Airfield would be leased back from the new owner if the airfield were to continue to be used as an active airfield after disposal. Approximately six acres of Fort Holabird would be closed and excessed; this land contains three warehouses and a parking lot. In addition to the two land parcels to be closed and excessed and realignment of the CIDC functions, this EIS addresses the unexploded ordnance survey of the 1,400-acre parcel and the relocation of the ammunition supply mission at Fort Meade to Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia and Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. All parcels to be excessed would be cleared of toxic and hazardous materials as appropriate for the proposed reuse of parcels; surveyed for significant cultural resources; evaluated for the effect the proposed reuse would have on any threatened or endangered species; and excessed in accordance with the proposed reuse as determined via a formal screening process. Clearance of unexploded ordnance would require a 100-percent visual surface survey and 5-percent subsurface survey of the 1,400-acre Fort Meade parcel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Efficiency of CIDC and ammunition supply operations to be realigned would be improved, and CIDC operational costs would be reduced. Disposal of excess military property resulting from the realignments would ensure that the lands are used in an economically and environmentally sound manner. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minimal vegetation clearance would be required during the unexploded ordnance survey. Partial closure of Fort Holabird could affect up to 69 jobs, all to be transferred to Fort Belvoir. A total of 62 positions at Fort Meade would be relocated to Fort Belvoir, and 16 positions would be eliminated. In addition, 220 CIDC positions in leased space in Falls Church, Virginia would be realigned to facilities at Fort Belvoir.

Preparation date: August 16, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - STATE TRUCK HIGHWAY 26 (FORT ATKINSON BYPASS), JEFFERSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36394351; 3283 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction of State Trunk Highway (STH 26) in the townships of Koshkonong and Jefferson in southwestern Jefferson County, Wisconsin is proposed. The West Bypass Alternative, the selected preferred alternative, would begin at the Old STH 26/Existing STH 26 intersection, curve northwest to cross the Rock River and Blackhawk Island Road just west of the DNR Access Road/Groeler Road intersection, head north to STH 106, curve to the northeast approximately one mile north of STH 106 and cross US 12 and Hoard Road, then swing east at Banker Road to STH 89 (old CTH ""Q'') where it would head northeast to existing STH 26 south of Airport Road. The length of this alternative is 6.6 miles. The new bypass would involve initial construction of two lanes of an ultimate four-lane divided roadway, until such time as traffic warrants the additional lanes. Rights-of-way for the entire four-lane roadway would be purchased at the outset to preserve the corridor and to allow orderly local development. The initial construction would include clearing, grading, and paving that portion of the rights-of-way that is necessary for two 12-foot driving lanes and two 10-foot outside shoulders. The future four-lane roadway would consist of four 12-foot driving lanes, a 50-foot-wide median, and 10-foot outside shoulders. The design speed would be 65 miles per hour, with access from interchanges only. Side road connections would be grade-separated. Construction of four interchanges would be included: at the north and south of the STH 26 bypass termini, at STH 106, and at US 12. Due to the length and height of the new bridge required to cross the Rock River and adjacent floodway and the proximity of the DNR Access Road and Blackhawk Island Road to the river, these side roads would be spanned during the initial two-lane roadway and bridge construction stage. Old STH 106 would be cul-de-saced and the Hoard Road crossing would be grade-separated at the initial two-lane construction stage (with the new bypass elevated over Hoard Road). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve a principal north-south arterial and provide access from Illinois and southern Wisconsin to the industrial and recreational facilities of the Fox River Valley, Lake Winnebago, Green Bay, and Door County areas. Regional commodity transport among communities, including Janesville, Watertown, Madison, Milwaukee, Jefferson, Fort Atkinson, Whitewater, and Oconomowoc, would be improved substantially. Corridor capacity would be increased; the number of trucks in the downtown area would be decreased; the number of access points would be decreased, thereby minimizing congestion and reducing accidents; travel time delays for through traffic would be reduced; emergency response time would be improved; the potential for community economic development would be enhanced; and parking in the downtown area would be maintained to serve existing businesses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The primary adverse effects resulting from this alternative would involve the loss of 185 acres of agricultural land from 21 farming operations, including severances to 13 of these farms; relocation of a single-family seasonal residence and a single-family structure currently used by a church on a seasonal basis; the loss of through-traffic patronage to some downtown businesses; the loss of 12 to 13 acres of wetlands and 10 acres of upland wildlife habitat; and increased noise levels in areas that do not presently experience traffic noise.

AN - 36408673; 3217 AB - PURPOSE: Designation and use of a new Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) offshore of Norfolk, Virginia is proposed to provide for disposal of material dredged from the lower Chesapeake Bay and Norfolk Harbor channels. On the average, 4.0 to 5.0 million cubic yards of material is dredged annually from federal channels in the lower bay and Norfolk Harbor. Dredged material is predominantly mud, clay, and silt taken primarily from the industrialized Hampton Roads/Elizabeth River area. The remaining dredge material consists of sand, gravel, and shell taken mainly from the Thimble Shoal and Cape Henry channels. Currently, dredge material from these two areas is disposed of within the Craney Island Containment Area and the Dam Neck Ocean Disposal Site offshore Virginia Beach. The Craney Island Containment Area is approaching its fill capacity; it is estimated that the area may be filled by the year 1997 under current management strategies. The Dam Neck Ocean Disposal Site is designated primarily for the disposal of material from the Thimble Shoal, Cape Henry, and Atlantic Ocean channels. Sediments from these areas consist mostly of fine to medium grain sands that meet ocean disposal criteria. The Dam Neck Ocean Disposal Site, however, has a limited capacity and is located in an area where significant environmental impacts could result from disposal of materials other than those designated for disposal at that site. Under the currently proposed action, a Norfolk Ocean Disposal Site would be designated on the continental shelf offshore of Norfolk. More specifically, the site is located 17 nautical miles east of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Location coordinates for the center of the site are 36 degrees, 59 minutes north latitude and 75 degrees, 39 minutes west longitude. The site has a radius of four nautical miles and water depths ranging from 43 to 85 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the dredged material disposal site would allow for the disposal of material dredged to maintain the usefulness of Norfolk Harbor, ensuring the economic viability of the associated port and transportation facilities. The site would be capable of receiving sufficient amounts of dredged materials for 50 years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would adversely impact water quality and alter site bathymetry and sediment composition. Disposal activities would result in temporary turbidity and smother benthos and some demersal fish. Monitoring and management programs would be established to prevent any long-range environmental impacts.

The general procedures used are given and several case studies presented. The discussion concentrates on the hydraulic aspects of the evaluation and primarily focuses on levees of uncertain reliability installed during flood emergencies. However, there is some discussion of geotechnical considerations and of existing well built and maintained levees. The paper presents an organized method for evaluating the economic credit to be given existing levees that could be used for future evaluations. The field has received different guidance for evaluating existing levees than it has for design of proposed levees. Guidance for evaluation of credit to existing levees has generally stated that we should give levees of uncertain reliability at least partial credit if they have withstood historic floods. Guidance for proposed levees stresses using conservative design criteria to insure reliability. In order to get any economic credit for a proposed levee it has to meet all of our conservative criteria. We can't build a levee that only meets part of our criteria and then take partial economic credit. These different guidances can cause a permanent levee project to be unfeasible and leave a community relying on an existing levee that could fail at any time. The position presented in this paper is that the same criteria should be applied to all levees. To get economic credit existing levees should meet the same criteria as proposed levees. The Corps of Engineers guidance should either be more conservative when evaluating existing levees or less conservative for design of new levees.

Needless to say, any changes in Corps procedures for establishing levee freeboard could have a pronounced effect on FEMA's administration of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This paper discusses the role of the Corps of Engineers in support of FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program. Included in the discussions are levee certification requirements of the NFIP and differences between the two agencies' policy on levee freeboard requirements.

In situations where the levee heights are relatively small (less than three feet), and the uprush from wind and other hydraulic design factors are not expected to be excessive, consideration should be given to lower magnitude freeboard. This presentation is a brief overview of this issue from the North Central Division standpoint.

This is especially true for flood control structures. The Corps of Engineers has long used frequency based methods in flood control benefit evaluation. The incorporation of risk, however, has generally been limited to representing peak annual discharge or flow by a frequency distribution such as log-Pearson Type-III. There are numerous other relationships in the evaluation of a project that also exhibit risk and uncertainty. Indeed, the discharge-frequency function itself retains significant uncertainties due in part to the limited number of historical data points used in its derivation. Similarly, there is uncertainty in the discharge-stage relationship stemming from both model and parameter uncertainty. Along with the engineering related sources, there are also economics related sources of risk and uncertainty that should be assessed in the evaluation of any flood control project. Traditionally, freeboard has had the status of a design standard and has been added to levees as part of the design process. The addition of freeboard to levees is an explicit recognition of the great uncertainties confronted in designing a flood control project. Typically, freeboard is thought of as the exclusive province of the design engineer. This paper will discuss freeboard as an important planning issue for other, non-engineering reasons. The succeeding sections will also support the notion that freeboard should not be given special status except for specific considerations such as assuring a "safe fail." Rather a levee should be evaluated and the choice of scale recommended using a combined risk model with risk analysis methods.

The costs and risks of these events must be considered in the design of the features; safety concerns of the population at risk; potential real estate taking; local operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation and replacement (OMRR&R) responsibilities; and full life cycle costs. The selection of the national economic development (NED) plan which maximizes the full life cycle net benefits is the goal. This is an engineering objective in accordance with paragraph 10.b.(1) on page 5 of EC 1110-2-268. In addition to the NED feature selection process, overtopping of low levees should have full public disclosure of the performance and residual risks of the low levels of protection in accordance with paragraph 4-11. c. on pages 4-22 & 4-23 of ER 1105-2-100. Selection of capacities of outlets for trapped interior waters should be in accordance with EM 1110-2-1413.

The purpose of this report is to document the methodology developed for the Wyoming Valley Levee Raising Project in response to that directive and to display the results achieved. In summary, the carrying capacities (design discharges) of the existing levee projects were determined by making allowances for minimum freeboard, computed by this methodology. The methodology was also used to compute the top of levee profile for proposed conditions for the design discharges of 318,500 cfs (reoccurrence of Tropical Storm Agnes Flood) and 290,000 cfs. Proposed conditions involves the raising of existing levees and floodwalls, as well as the construction of new levees and floodwalls, to provide additional flood protection to the Wyoming Valley area.

Walla District AN - 20286622; 7362268 AB - A review of past levee studies indicates that freeboard design often has not been characterized by the rigorous, complete analysis that generally characterizes other aspects of project design. Perhaps this should not be surprising since freeboard, by its very nature, is designed to accommodate - and mitigate - for risks associated with factors which are unknown or uncertain at the time of project design. Where sufficient data is lacking minimum freeboards of 2 ft. for agricultural, and 3 ft. for residential areas seem to have gained widespread acceptance. In cases where a high degree of uncertainty exists the engineer may specify a higher freeboard allowance or part of the freeboard may be effectively hidden within an overly-conservative water-surface profile calculation. Tighter budgets in recent years have dictated a closer look at all aspects of a project which may reduce costs. Higher level reviewers have recently begun to demand that any freeboard beyond the established minimums be justified by an evaluation of identifiable risks and uncertainties. The amount of freeboard required as well as the appropriate level of protection has come under close scrutiny in several completed projects including the Lewiston and Tri-Cities Levees. Attempts to resolve these questions has been a challenge and has raised some policy questions which have not been entirely resolved.

The key issues of this study include the complex flow conditions resulting from severe channel meandering and the absence of a suitable tie-back location for the north levee (left levee) within reasonable proximity to the Rio Grande. Levee freeboard policy requires that freeboard design incorporate sound engineering judgement and experience to reasonably assure that the project design flow will be contained, including any uncertainty factors, within the design levee height. If the levee height is exceeded, it should be at a location where damages and the threat of loss of life is minimized (Levee Superiority).

Puerto Ricans have a four-century heritage of Spanish language and culture. Christopher Columbus reached Puerto Rico on November 19, 1493. They have been a part of the United States since 1898, United States citizens since 1917, and a Commonwealth of the United States since 1952. Puerto Rico lies approximately 1,000 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. It lies on the northeast periphery of the Caribbean Sea, part of an elongated cluster of 7,000 tropical islands of varying shapes and sizes, which are called the West Indies. The West Indies are divided into three main groups: the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles. Puerto Rico is the easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, which also include Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola.

These two projects provided the Seattle District's hydrology and hydraulics staff the opportunity to address the freeboard issue in a manner which resulted in reasonably prudent designs having decreased project costs while meeting the objectives of the projects. However, due to the misconstrued perception of a 3-feet-of-freeboard requirement, the hydraulics staff was required to spend countless hours defending the freeboard evaluation process on these two projects.

The projects involved have included both urban and agricultural flood protection. A key issue pertaining to both types of projects is design of freeboard allowance in those areas where the design flowline is very near the natural ground elevation. The current interest in freeboard design may have been influenced by several factors including changes in Corps guidance and a renewed interest in minimizing project costs. Increased participation by the project sponsors during all phases of project formulation and design appears to have also had an impact. Excessive levee freeboard may create problems for the sponsor in acquiring project rights of way in those areas where flooding is not a problem but where levee construction is required to meet the project level of protection. Land owner objections have been a problem on a number of occasions when right-of-way for levee freeboard only was requested.

The original levee was built to a height of 12 feet from the Profile of Proposed Alignment by the city and extended down the river to the Southern railroad bridge. Below that point the levee was built using Bibb County funds with the assistance of several of the nearby plant owners. Due to severe flooding over the years, the present levee was authorized as a Federal project, and construction was initiated 29 August 1949 and completed 7 November 1950. The levee is maintained by the city of Macon and Bibb County through a local cooperation agreement. The Federal project is located on the west bank of the Ocmulgee River. (See figure 1). It begins on high ground at the Fifth Street Bridge and joins the original levee some 1,160 feet to the south. The original city levee was enlarged for 13,600 feet and a new levee crosses the floodplain downstream of Macon and ties in with the Southern Railway embankment. The levee consists of 115 linear feet of concrete flood wall and 28,000 linear feet of earthen dike with a crown width of 10 feet. The upstream portion is capped with 1450 feet of concrete constructed to raise this portion of the levee. Figure 2 shows the location and typical sections of the flood wall and the earth embankment. The levee gently slopes from an elevation of 303.3 feet mean sea level at the Fifth Street Bridge to 281.5 feet at Stratton Street with the height of the embankment averaging 14 feet. The area protected by the levee is flat and poorly drained.

The sediment was collected from a contaminated, brackish marsh in New Jersey, and stored in sealed containers under refrigeration. Moisture was determined by oven drying an aliquot for 24 hours at 105 C. The pH of the original wet sediment was determined in situ using a calibrated combination pH electrode. Redox potential was determined by placing three platinum electrodes in each of four beakers of the sediment; readings were made on a millivolt meter using a saturated calomel reference electrode. Substantial amounts of Cd and Zn were released under moderately acid, oxidizing conditions. Under the present slightly basic, strongly anaerobic environment of the marsh sediment, the metals are being effectively immobilized compared to the release that would occur for some of the metals if the sediments were excavated and placed under upland conditions where they would eventually become oxidized and strongly acidic.

Scour and toe damage, common for coastal structures such as breakwaters and jetties, can progress rapidly but go undetected from the surface until a collapse occurs. Waves, currents, and limited underwater visibility (normal around coastal structures) make diver and side-scan sonar surveys difficult. The resulting data are often sketchy, distorted, and qualitative. A new tool for the underwater inspection of coastal structures has been developed as a prototype system--the Coastal Structure Acoustic Raster Scanner (CSARS)--which was designed to be an advancement over existing technology for the inspection of irregular, rubble-mound coastal structures. CSARS is a type of narrow-beam scanning sonar, which obtains range data through acoustic (sound energy) travel time, like a fathometer. The system consists of a bottom-deployed, pointable acoustic transducer with driving motors and attitude sensors, connected to a topside controlling computer by an umbilical cable. The bottom-sitting tripod transducer platform allows controlled positioning of the scanner relative to the structure. The heavily weighted tripod rests firmly on the sea floor while the transducer is scanning. The operating concept of the CSARS, showing the 3-D 'scan volume,' within which range data are collected. The transducer is located at the origin of coordinates. CSARS collects range data by scanning this operator-specified region point-by-point along horizontal lines in a fashion similar to the way a television screen image is built up by the moving electron beam inside a cathode ray tube. In order to provide maximum flexibility and operator control, most of the system-operating characteristics are programmable. Operation of the instrument is controlled through the shipboard computer program, providing the man-made interface, real-time scan monitoring, and on-site post processing and graphical display. The system has been refined following field tests at several sites and, at present, can accurately estimate the slope and show the general shape of a structure face. In-water trials of evolving versions of the prototype CSARS system have been conducted in several man-made tanks, in a lake, in the Atlantic Ocean near Wilmington, NC, at Cleveland Harbor on Lake Erie, and at Crescent City, CA. CSARS data proved useful as a complement to side-scan sonar imagery in making decisions about the repair of the Crescent City Breakwater.

As a result of these tests, silica-fume concrete was used to repair abrasion-erosion damage in the stilling basin at Kinzua Dam, PA, and in the concrete lining of the low-flow channel, Los Angeles River. In each repair there was some cracking, which was ultimately attributed to restraint of volume changes resulting from thermal contraction and, possibly, autogenous shrinkage. Recent inspections indicate the cracking has not significantly reduced the abrasion-erosion resistance of the concrete. However , such cracking could limit the use of silica-fume concrete in other repair and rehabilitation applications. Consequently, a laboratory study was conducted to determine the properties of silica-fume concrete that might affect cracking, and to develop guidance on how to avoid or minimize these problems in future repair projects. None of the properties of silica-fume concrete, with the possible exception of autogenous volume change and temperature rise, indicates that this material should be significantly more susceptible to cracking than conventional concrete. In fact, some properties, particularly tensile stress and strain capacity, indicate that silica-fume concrete should have a reduced potential for cracking. A finite element analysis of concrete overlays placed on lock wall surfaces demonstrated that restrained contraction is a predominant factor in overlay cracking. The analysis also demonstrated that an effective bond breaker at the interface between the replacement and existing concrete would eliminate cracking.

Identification-Diagnosis AN - 19140204; 9200906 AB - Although erosion of streambanks and other shorelines by emergent seepage is widespread, this erosion mechanism (termed piping or sapping) has not been recognized as important to the overall erosion process. The mechanism is complex and interactions with other bank and shore processes tend to mask the effects of piping/sapping. Direct evidence (water emerging from a soil face and carrying away soil particles, is encountered rarely. Several types of indirect evidence exist, including cavities formed by piping, deposits of dislocated particles below piping zones, blind gullies, staining produced by persistent seepage outflow, and particular types of localized failures (slab toppling, block shearing, and tensile falls caused by undercutting due to piping/sapping). Piping/sapping will cease if soils displaced by piping are not removed by other transport mechanisms, but interactions with other mechanisms of erosion and sedimentation often obscure the evidence of piping and/or retard or stop piping/sapping activity.

To cut future downtime, and thus costs, it is critical to select repair materials that have a long life expectancy. Lock gates traditionally were backed with lead. As locks were built bigger and with higher lifts, the softness of lead became a problem. Today, new environmental and safety regulations forbid the use of lead for backing lock gates. During the 1970s, epoxy appeared to be the next generation of reliable material for the backing of lock gates. However, there have been instances where epoxy backing has failed within a few years of placement. Zinc as a backing material appears to ensure a long-lasting alignment of lock gates. In addition, the zinc meets OSHA and other environmental requirements and avoids the uncertainty of reliability that is inherent with the use of various epoxies. During June and July 1991, miter gates at Holt and Bankhead Locks and Dams received new contact blocks, mostly made of stainless steel, backed with zinc for durability. Zinc comes in 50-lb. ingots which were lifted with thongs and placed into a furnace. At the work site, the bucket with the molten zinc was attached to a rope, hoisted by a work crew with the help of a pulley assembly to the basket supporting the workers who poured the zinc. The application of the zinc took place after the steel contact blocks were attached and adjusted with push-and-pull bolts. Although newer locks often have adjustable wall blocks, those at Bankhead are welded in place and did not need backing. The lower gates at Bankhead were receiving zinc backing behind the quoin blocks on July 9, 1991. To prevent the zinc from solidifying too quickly, the blocks were preheated with electric blankets prior to pouring the zinc. Coupled with the initial high temperature of the zinc, the heated steel block prevented the zinc frorm cooling below its 850 F melting point during the handling and application processes. This procedure is vital since premature solidifying of the zinc could result in voids in the backing.

Although DMCAs often have a usable life span of up to 50 yrs, an estimated 7,000 acres of new DMCAs are needed annually. Acquisition is difficult because of high real estate values, the long-term nature of the easements, and the perception by land owners that dredged material is not aesthetic. To overcome these difficulties the Corps has worked to develop beneficial use concepts that identify ways in which the landowner can use the acreage for activities that are financially attractive but do not interfere with periodic placement of dredged material. Aquaculture is promising as a compatible activity with dredged material placement because aquaculture ponds and DMCAs share many design characteristics, including: perimeter levees to retain water, construction on relatively impervious soils, and control structures for water discharge and drainage. In the United States, important aquaculture industries exist for oysters, clams, catfish, trout, baitfish, and ornamental fish. Shrimp farming, which is rapidly expanding in the inter-natural aquaculture scene, has lagged in domestic development. To demonstrate the feasibility of DMCA aquaculture, the Corps conducted a 3-yr project to grow penaeid (marine) shrimp in two active DMCAs near Brownsville, TX. Six crops were attempted during the 3-yr operation of the demonstration facility. Of these, two crops failed--one due to cold temperature in winter 1989 and one due to predation by fish introduced when the predator screen fouled in summer 1988. Four successful crops were harvested. Production rates for the four crops averaged 597 lb/acre of whole shrimp with 51% survival. Total production of 252,409 lb of whole shrimp was sold for over $475,000, which was deposited in the US Treasury. No adverse affects from the dredged material were evident.

AN - 36406274; 3197 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of 4.5 miles of four-lane highway (US 27), with partial access control, in south-central Jessamine County, Kentucky is proposed to provide a connecting link between the four-lane improvements along US 27 south of the project to the Nicholasville Bypass to the north. The project would begin at Camp Nelson and parallel existing US 27, approximately 175 feet to the west, to allow existing US 27 to be converted to a frontage road. The alignment would continue along the west side of US 27 until a point just north of Roberts Chapel (just south of Kentucky 1268/Wilmore Road), cross US 27, and intersect with Kentucky 1268 approximately 250 feet east of the existing US 27/Kentucky 1268 intersection. Continuing in a northeasterly direction, the new alignment would then intersect East Lane approximately 850 feet east of the existing intersection of US 27 and East Lane. The only difference distinguishing the two build alternatives would involve the possible relocation of 3,000 to 3,500 linear feet of the highway between Kentucky 1268/Wilmore Road and Kentucky 1268, a relocation that would allow the project to avoid impacting a Civil War site known as the Roberts Chapel property. The site bypass would be to the east under one alternative and to the west under the other. The west bypass is currently designated as the preferred alternative. The highway, which would have a 60-mile-per-hour design speed, would feature two 12-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction, 12-foot shoulders, and a 30-foot clear zone from the edge of the pavement and bituminous pavement surface. Town Fork of Jessamine Creek near the bypass tie-in would be crossed via twin, three-span structures. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $13.1 million, while the cost estimate for the other alternative is $13.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the highway from two to four lanes would increase traffic capacity on a heavily traveled section of US 27; projected traffic demand in the corridor is expected to increase by 60 percent above 1986 levels by the year 2006 (an average increase from 10,000 to 16,000 vehicles per day). The project would generally improve travel safety and efficiency and complete the missing link of improved US 27 between the Kentucky River and Lexington. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 6 homes, 1 business, 15 farm buildings, 142 acres of prime and unique or important farmland, and, possibly, an historically significant Civil War fortification, the Camp Nelson Historic District. Two residences along the southern portion of the new highway segment would experience increases in noise levels that would exceed federal standards. Approximately 2,000 feet of Town Fork would be rechannelized, resulting in the loss of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat and a reduction in water quality.

AN - 36407040; 3198 AB - PURPOSE: Widening of a 12.1-mile segment of existing US 27 and US 68 from Rogers Road in Lexington to Parkway Drive in Paris, in Fayette and Bourbon counties, Kentucky is proposed. Most of the proposed project (approximately 10.8 miles) would be improved as a rural facility; an approximately 0.6-mile segment leading into Lexington and a 0.7-mile segment leading into Paris would be improved as urban facilities. The existing facility, known locally as the Lexington-Paris Road or Paris Pike, is a two-lane rural arterial with left-turn lanes at major intersections. Lanes are generally 11 feet wide and shoulders are not paved. The proposed improvements would involve widening the existing two-lane facility to function primarily as a four-lane divided rural principal arterial, with short terminal sections leading into Paris and Lexington. As part of the proposed actions, bridges at Elkhorn Creek and Houston Creek would be reconstructed as four-lane facilities. Five build alternatives are under consideration. Alternative A would provide a high-type rural arterial facility with partial control of access; a 40-foot depressed grass median would be included except at the project terminals. Some driveways would be relocated, and frontage roads would be used in several locations. Alternative B would use a minimum-width arterial cross-section, which would maintain a 14-foot flush median for the entire length of the project. The profile grade for Alternative B, as well as for alternatives C, D, and E, would follow the existing terrain more closely than Alternative A, thus reducing earthwork and rights-of-way requirements. Alternative C would use a 22-foot raised-grass median, which represents the minimum width grassed median concept, except in urban areas, where an urban cross-section would be used to minimize impacts on several properties. Alternative D would represent the minimum desirable width rural cross-section, with a 40-foot grassed median. In urban areas at project termini, urban cross-sections would be used. Alternative D is similar to Alternative A with regard to cross-section dimensions, but differs primarily in its more rolling profile, omission of frontage roads, and other access control features, resulting in reduced rights-of-way acquisitions. Alternative E would minimize impacts on visible cultural features in the corridor by minimizing the project rights-of-way width. Alternative D is the selected alternative. This document is a final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of September 1972. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The importance of Paris Pike in the area's regional transportation system would be maintained and supported. Current capacity shortcomings would be alleviated, and inadequate road geometrics and design features would be corrected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements under Alternative D would result in the displacement of seven residences. Properties within the Paris Pike Historic District would be affected; less than 0.1 acre of wetlands would be lost. Floodplains associated with the Elkhorn Creek and Houston Creek drainages would be crossed, but no significant risk of increased flood hazards would occur.

AN - 36408513; 3195 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, fully access-controlled, divided highway is proposed. The highway, to be known as Federal Aid Primary (FAP) Route 413, would extend from Interstate 270 (I-270) to Illinois Route 267 in Madison County, Illinois. The project would lie north of Alton, Illinois and would extend in a northerly and northwesterly direction from I-270 for approximately 20.6 miles to end at Illinois 267 north of Alton. FAP 413 would begin as six lanes at its intersection with I-270 and transition to four lanes north of I-270. The four-lane section would continue through the length of the project at a point north of the FAP 413/US 67 intersection. FAP 413 would then transition to a rural two-lane highway as it connects with Illinois 267. A 54-foot-wide open ditch median would separate opposing traffic movements. To minimize rights-of-way takings, an 18.5-foot-wide median, with a New Jersey barrier, would be provided through areas that are characterized by extensive development from Illinois 111 to a point just north of Illinois 140. Required rights-of-way widths would vary from a minimum of 180 feet to a maximum of 300 feet, with rights-of-way widths averaging 220 feet. FAP 413 would be designed to accommodate vehicles traveling at 70 miles per hour. Interchanges would be provided at selected intersecting streets and highways. A ground-level signalized intersection would be provided where the freeway intersects US 67 and Illinois 111 at its terminus. Grade separations would be provided at all railroad crossings and at selected intersecting streets and highways. Frontage roads, service drives, and access roads would be provided, as required, to maintain reasonable access to existing developments. The estimated cost of the project is $197.2 million, including $16.2 million in rights-of-way acquisition costs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Traffic congestion on existing roadways within the project area would be relieved, and the safety, efficiency, and convenience of the area's road system would be generally improved. Under any of the construction alternatives, future commercial, industrial, and residential development would be encouraged, enhancing the local tax base of those communities near the proposed highway and providing additional employment and housing opportunities. Being closer to population centers, the selected western alignment would service 3,100 more vehicles per day than the eastern alternative over the 20-year design period. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Acquisition of 1,012 acres of rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 110 nonfarm residences, 8 farm residences, 16 farm buildings, 13 commercial buildings, 21 businesses, 1 public /semipublic structure, 187 acres of woodlands, 0.25 acre of emergent wetland, and 7.0 acres of forested wetlands. A total of 53 farm severances would occur, and 82 farms would be affected by project developments. Three major stream crossings would be required. The highway would affect five churches, three schools, and three parks or recreational areas.

AN - 36409869; 3205 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of a segment of US Highway (USH) 53 in Washburn and Douglas counties, Wisconsin is proposed. The project would upgrade USH 53 from its present two-lane configuration to a four-lane expressway from a point approximately 0.5 mile north of the intersection of USH 63 at Trego, extending northward for a distance of 43.9 miles to a point approximately 0.1 mile south of the intersection with Kent Road in the town of Hawthorne. The expressway would be similar to the existing contiguous expressway segments between Rice Lake and Trego and between Hawthorne and Superior. The existing two-lane highway would generally be used to serve as one of two dual roadways, with the new second roadway being constructed alongside the existing roadway. Approximately 6.63 miles of the expressway would follow a relocated alignment. Intersections with cross roads would generally be constructed at grade. Bridge structures would be provided as necessary to meet expressway standards. The rights-of-way width would most likely be 250 feet. The estimated construction cost is $32.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A gap between two four-lane expressway segments of USH 53 would be closed. The resulting facility would be consistent with existing and future regional and interstate transportation system goals. Additional continuity in a multilane highway system between Interstate 94 (I-94) at Eau Claire and I-35 in Duluth would be provided, and a more efficient connection between the two major population centers would be available. Forest, mineral, and recreational resources of northwestern Wisconsin would be more accessible. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 884 acres of rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 652 acres of woodlands, 116 acres of wetlands, 62.9 acres of farmlands, 18 residences, and 3 businesses. The expressway would encroach upon 35.3 acres of 100-year floodplain. Four archaeologically significant sites would be disturbed. Widening of the facility could hinder movements of an endangered species, the timber wolf.

AN - 36393802; 3194 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane, partially access-controlled, divided highway is proposed in Adams and Hancock counties in midwestern Illinois. The highway would begin at US 24 in Adams County at the northern terminus of Illinois Route 336 and extend in northerly and northeasterly directions to a point southeast of Carthage near US 136 in Hancock County. The new 32-mile highway section, originally designated as Federal Aid Primary (FAP) 407 but redesignated as FAP 302 and marked as Illinois Route 336, would be an arterial facility. Traffic would be separated by a 50-foot-wide median. Access to single-family residences and farms would generally be maintained either by direct access to the highway or by frontage roads and service drives. Of the seven build alternatives originally developed for study, six have been eliminated. Alternative E-1 has been identified as the preferred alternative. Interchanges would be provided at US 24, Illinois Route 61, and Illinois Route 94. Stream crossing structures would carry the alignment across Rock Creek, South Fork of Bear Creek, and Slater Creek. Road closures would be implemented at TR 138 and TR 270. Project construction would be phased to provide usable sections over the course of several construction seasons. The estimated cost of the proposed alternative is $91.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide fast, safe, efficient travel within and through the study area via a continuous north-south route. The new highway would facilitate economic development in western Illinois, improve traffic circulation among western Illinois communities, provide a safe divided facility to accommodate high-speed traffic, and provide system continuity from Quincy to US 136. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Respective rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 2.1 acres of wetlands, 746 acres of farmlands, 61.5 acres of pasturelands, 14.5 acres of hayfields, 24.7 acres of developed land, 7.4 acres of upland forests, 9.4 acres of nonnative grasslands, 8.4 acres of floodplain forests, and 14.1 acres of shrublands. Lesser amounts of forbland, ponds, native grasslands, and barren ground would be displaced. The project would cross three streams, but there would be no floodplain encroachment. Habitat of the Indiana bat, an endangered species, would be affected, and some increases in wildlife mortality associated with highway operations in the area would be expected. Annual property tax losses due to land displacement would amount to $55,000.

RUSSELL DAM AND LAKE, ELBERT AND HART COUNTIES, GEORGIA AND ANDERSON AND ABBEVILLE COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1979). AN - 36406457; 3213 AB - PURPOSE: Installation of pumped storage hydroelectric facilities is proposed at Richard B. Russell (RBR) Dam and Lake (formerly Trotters Shoals Lake) on the Savannah River in Elbert and Hart counties, Georgia and Anderson and Abbeville counties, South Carolina. The primary facilities would include four 75 megawatt (MW) pump turbines that would permit pumped storage operations and increase the electrical power generating capacity of the project from 300 MW to 600 MW. This document constitutes a final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of October 1979. Based on information available at the time the final EIS was issued, it was concluded that pumped storage operations would not have a significant adverse effect on the J. Strom Thurmond (JST) Lake fishery. Consequently, the final EIS did not contain any recommendations for fish protection measures. Since that time, additional studies have been conducted concerning potential fish entrainment during pumped storage operations. The need for fish protection measures prior to pumping water back from JST Lake to RBR Lake also received further consideration, including structural methods (bar rack), nonstructural or behavioral alternatives (light or high-frequency sound systems), and operational measures (various restrictions on unit operations). The tentatively selected alternative would provide for the installation of a high-frequency sound and light fish protection system prior to operating the pump turbines. The plan would also include a phased operational plan for pump turbines. The pump turbines would be tested and extensive entrainment data collected prior to committing the units for dependable commercial power production to ensure that the units were operating in an environmentally acceptable manner. The installation cost of the sound and light system is estimated at $400,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The residents of the Southeastern Power Administration's 10-state market area would benefit from pumped storage power. The project would make available efficient power capacity to private and industrial consumers for peak-load energy requirements at relatively low cost. Fish protection facilities would decrease the entrainment of large numbers of young fish and eggs during pumping and generating operations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some fish would be lost as a result of pumped storage operations. Removal of the rocks from the tailrace and dredging 1.5 million cubic yards of material from a 1.2 mile section of the tailwater would permanently change the configuration of the affected tailwater areas. There would be a short-term adverse effect on power production.

Benthic grab samples were collected in June and August 1989, along two shore-to-shore transects in the lower Tennessee River, approximately 1.5 km downstream from Kentucky Lock and Dam. Diversity, averaged over all samples, was not significantly different from June to August. River depth of the samples, which ranged from 3.1 m to 6.5 m, significantly influenced macroinvertebrate density, but had no detectable effect on the total number of taxa collected. Densities of flatworms, Asiatic clams, snails, isopods, and mayflies increased significantly with increasing depth, whereas the abundance of native mussels (Unionidae) and caddisflies decreased with depth. Substrate type (sand through cobble) influenced both the total number of taxa and the total number of organisms collected. Sample areas dominated by cobble contained significantly fewer individuals than areas composed predominantly of gravel substrate. Asiatic clams, the single most abundant species collected, were consistently more numerous on intermediate substrate sizes. In contrast, densities of native mussels, snails, and mayflies were not correlated with bottom type. Sample areas included relatively little mud and sand, resulting in relatively low numbers of oligochaetes and midges in the collections.

AN - 36402327; 3215 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control plan for the floodplains of the Tropicana and Flamingo washes in Clark County, Nevada is proposed. The 226-square-mile study area, which is located in the Las Vegas Community and surrounding area, consists of the drainage basins of the Tropicana and Flamingo washes upstream of the Flamingo Wash confluence with the Las Vegas Wash. The recommended plan consists of detention basins, debris basins, new primary and collector channels, and downstream channel and bridge improvements and/or replacements within the existing developed areas. Downstream channel improvements would not occur below Tropicana basin. The plan would involve construction or modification of four detention basins (Red Rock, Blue Diamond, Flamingo, and Tropicana) and four debris basins (R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4); channelization of releases from Red Rock, R-4, F-1, and F-4 dams to Flamingo Dam; channelization of the releases from Flamingo Dam and Blue Diamond Dam to Tropicana Dam; and channelization of the release from Tropicana Dam to a conduit beneath the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Blue Diamond dam would be an off-channel structure of roller compacted concrete just north of the Blue Diamond Wash channel and Blue Diamond Road approximately 7.5 miles west of Interstate 15 on Blue Diamond Road; the basin would have a capacity of 2,300 acre-feet at the 100-year water surface and 4,050 acre-feet at the crest of the dam. Flamingo Dam, construction of which is scheduled to begin in 1991, would be an earthfill embankment with a basin having a storage capacity of 1,941 acre-feet. Red Rock Dam, which was completed in 1987, is located just east of West Charleston Boulevard. The compacted-earthfill structure would be modified to decrease the outlet capacity from 1,400 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 180 cfs and to increase the spillway discharge capacity from 23,000 cfs to 72,000 cfs. The remaining 38,000 cfs of the design flood flow of 110,000 cfs would be discharged over a spillway that would be constructed over the outlet works. The Tropicana Dam would be a detention structure, to be located southeast of the intersection of Decatur Boulevard and Russell Avenue, with an earthfill embankment having a basin capacity of 731 acre-feet, requiring excavation of 339,000 cubic yards from the basin area. The R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4 debris basins would each consist of an earthfill embankment revetted with dumped stone. Channels would be constructed from Red Rock, R-4, F-1, F-2, and F-4 detention basins to the reservoir behind Flamingo Dam; from Flamingo and Blue Diamond detention basins to the Tropicana basin; and from Tropicana detention basin to a conduit through the Union Pacific Railroad embankment. Lateral collector channels would be integrated into the main channel system. Monetary compensation, mitigation, and impact minimization efforts would be implemented to compensate and reduce negative effects on desert tortoise habitat. The estimated cost of the project is $195.9 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide full protection to the study area from the 100-year-frequency flood. Urban residential and commercial developments would benefit from flood protection, resulting in an average annual savings of $19.3 million. Provision of flood control would allow more residential units to be constructed per acre. Water quality in affected flows would be improved somewhat by the removal of sediment and debris that would settle out within the project basins. Detention basins would provide open space within an urban area and the visual effect of these areas would be pleasing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excavation of 6.0 million cubic yards of material to create or modify channels and basins would alter local topography. Facilities would impact 730 acres, representing six percent of the 13,000 acres within the project area. The affected area is predominantly creosote bush scrub, although some Mojave desert scrub and associated habitat of the endangered desert tortoise, are also in the affected area.

AN - 36410712; 3204 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a bypass to direct through traffic using US Highway 18 /151 around the city of Verona in Dane County, Wisconsin is proposed. The section to be bypassed extends four miles from County Trunk Highway (CTH) G west of Verona to CTH PD east of Verona. Average daily traffic (ADT) on US 18/151 within central Verona was approximately 13,000 to 14,000 vehicles per day in 1987. By the design year 2012, the ADT is expected to increase to more than 20,000 vehicles per day, a 40 percent increase. The 5.7-mile bypass would be a four-lane divided highway consisting of two 12-foot lanes in each direction, separated by a 50-foot-wide grassed median and flanked by 10-foot outside shoulders. Bypass construction would require a minimum rights-of-way of 228 feet. The bypass would have interchanges at either end of the highway. Additional interchanges would be provided at State Trunk Highway 69 and CTH PB. All local roads crossing the bypass route would be maintained via grade separations. A southern bypass alignment has been selected as preferred. The estimated cost of the project is $25.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading this principal arterial would improve transport for long-distance travelers crossing the state. Access to and from Wisconsin would be enhanced, and economic development within the region surrounding the corridor would be promoted. Bypass construction would reduce the accident rate along this section of the highway by 12 percent and relieve congestion within Verona that is caused by mixing through and local traffic. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the bypass would result in the displacement of 114 acres of farmlands, severance of 15 farms, and encroachment into Badger Prairie County Park and Military Ridge Recreation Trail. One residence and one business would be displaced. Approximately 9.4 acres of upland forest and 14.9 acres of wetlands would be lost, and the highway would traverse floodplain land. Terrestrial and aquatic wildlife habitat associated with these land uses would be displaced according to the amount of land displaced. Traffic using the bypass would generate moderate to severe noise levels, some of which would violate federal standards, although implementation of a through-town alternative would impact far more receptors.

Preparation date: June 20, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MONTGOMERY POINT LOCK AND DAM, DESHA COUNTY, ARKANSAS. AN - 36411679; 3209 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a lock and dam within the present channel of the White River is proposed. The immediate study area encompasses approximately one mile in width on both sides of the White River from the present Norrell Lock and Dam to the Mississippi River. The area lies in the east central part of Arkansas, bordered by Desha and Arkansas counties. Under existing conditions, when the Mississippi River water elevations fall, in late summer and early fall, the White River drops and the entrance channel (lower 10 miles of the river) becomes shallow, constricted, and misaligned. These reductions create problems for navigation users and the entire system is charged with a lack of dependability for commercial navigation. The entrance channel has become a weak link in the chain of the system. The problem has been partially overcome by dredging; however, available dredged material disposal sites in the floodplain are almost at capacity, new ones are scarce, and this type of disposal is environmentally undesirable. Under the currently recommended plan, a 600- by 110-foot lock and hinged crest gate dam would be constructed within the White River Entrance Channel near mile 0.6. The weir would be a concrete overflow structure with crest elevation at 102 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) and hinged crest gates that can be raised in periods of low stages to create a pool to elevation 115 feet NGVD. When Mississippi River stages are at or above elevation 120 feet NGVD, the gates would be in the lowered position, allowing navigation passes over the weir. The crest elevation of the weir with the gates down is at elevation 102 feet NGVD and at 115 feet NGVD when the gate is raised. This lower elevation allows tows to pass over the dam 77 percent of the time under present conditions and 64 percent of the time during estimated future conditions. The estimated first cost of the project is $167.5 million based on October 1990 prices; estimated annual economic costs for a 70-year economic life at an interest rate of 8.8 percent rate would total $18.6 million. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.13. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reliability of the navigation system would be reestablished, allowing all intended inbound and outbound traffic to pass through system channels by guaranteeing authorized dimensions during low-water periods. Bank sloughing due to wide fluctuations of water surface elevation would be placed under control. Not only would the navigation problems be solved, but the amount of dredging needed would be eliminated or lessened. Overland access to the site for construction would use existing roads insofar as possible, restricting disturbance of wildlife habitat. Operation and maintenance costs for the system would decline significantly. Annualized economic benefits redounding from the project would be worth $20.5 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would involve the acquisition of 174 acres. Alteration of land uses on this acreage would result in a loss of biological productivity, including productivity associated with riparian wetlands.

Preparation date: June 17, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NH ROUTE 101/51 IMPROVEMENTS, ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE (EPPING-HAMPTON PROJECT NO. 11324, F-018-2(72)). AN - 36402471; 3201 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of 17.6 miles of New Hampshire (NH) Route 101/51 in Rockingham County, New Hampshire is proposed. The highway segment to be improved would extend from a point in Epping approximately 1.5 miles east of NH 102 (Exit 5) and continue easterly through the towns of Brentwood, Exeter, Stratham, and Hampton to a point approximately 1.3 miles east of Interstate 95 (I-95). Approximately 13 miles of the existing highway along this segment consist of a two-lane improved roadway within a four-lane, fully controlled-access right-of-way. The remainder of the segment is an uncontrolled, unimproved roadway with unacceptable alignment, travelway widths, and shoulders. The proposed project would provide a four-lane highway along the entire 17.6-mile section. Improvements would be made to nine interchanges along the route. Within the improved sections, at the western and eastern ends of the segment under consideration, proposed improvements would consist of construction of a two-lane facility parallel to the existing two-lane facility. Within the unimproved, middle section, a four-lane facility following several alternative alignments on new location would be constructed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would increase safety and relieve existing traffic congestion during peak periods, greatly improving service on the only east-west principal arterial highway in the southern portion of the state. A four-lane facility would be completed from I-93 in Manchester to I-95 in Hampton. Traffic volumes within the corridor, which have grown rapidly over the past decade, would be accommodated by the enlarged facility. Unacceptable levels of service currently affecting eight sections of NH 101/51 would be ameliorated, and unacceptably high accident rates would be decreased significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Along the western section, rights-of-way requirements would displace approximately 800 feet of streambeds at four stream crossings, 4.1 acres of 100-year floodplains, 20 acres of farmlands, 66.6 acres of upland and 33.4 acres of wetland habitat, 3 residences, 5 mobile homes, 1 business, and 1 church. Improvements along the western section would encounter two archaeological sites and six sites containing known or suspected hazardous materials. Along the middle section, rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the loss of 11 acres of floodplains, 1,575 feet of streambeds, 21.5 acres of farmlands, 43.8 acres of wetlands and 95.2 acres of upland wildlife habitat, 7 residences, 1 residence/business combination, and 1 mobile home. Three water wells would be affected. Improvements along the middle section would encounter two historically significant properties, one archaeological site, and nine sites containing known or suspected hazardous materials. An estimated six receptors along the middle section would experience severe noise impacts, and negative visual impacts would be associated with the North Road interchange and houses within sight of the highway near Old Town Farm Road and Watson Road. Along the eastern section, rights-of-way development would result in impacts to an aquifer and displacement of 14.7 acres of floodplains, 36.3 acres of farmlands, 136.7 acres of upland and 28.3 acres of wetland habitat, 2 residences, 1 residence/business combination, 1 business, and 1 garage. One sensitive receptor near NH 108 would be affected by excessive noise impacts along the eastern section, and visual impacts along this section would be significant for viewers along the north side of Hampton Road in Exeter. Four archaeological sites could be impacted and seven potentially hazardous materials sites would be traversed by developments along the eastern section.

AN - 36409581; 3078 AB - PURPOSE: Comprehensive Army base realignment and closure actions are proposed in the Military District of Washington, District of Columbia. Primarily, these actions would include closure of Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia and realignment of Forts Meade and Holabird, Maryland and the Army Materials Technology Laboratory (AMTL) of Watertown, Massachusetts. Mission activities affected by the closure of Cameron Station would be transferred to Fort Belvoir, Fairfax County, Virginia; Fort Myer, Arlington County, Virginia; and Fort McNair, District of Columbia. Upon closure of AMTL, its corrosion prevention and control research activities would be relocated to Fort Belvoir. In addition, the Information Systems Command (ISC) at Fort Belvoir would be realigned to Fort Devens, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The Criminal Investigation Command (CIC) and the Crime Records Center (CRC) at Fort Meade and Fort Holabird would be consolidated at Fort Belvoir, along with ISC and CIC support personnel located in leased space. In addition to addressing the closures and realignments recommended above, this document also addresses the proposed Concept Development Plan for Fort Belvoir. The plan was developed as a means of directing future growth at Fort Belvoir. More than 60 projects, many of which have not yet been approved or funded, are proposed in the plan, which will be incorporated into the Fort Belvoir Master Plan scheduled for completion in fiscal year 1992. The proposed realignments would involve transfer from Cameron Station of 3,641 personnel to Fort Belvoir, 192 personnel to Fort Myer, and 2 personnel to Fort McNair; transfer from Fort Belvoir of 320 personnel to Fort Devens; transfer of 178 personnel from AMTL to Fort Belvoir; transfer of 131 personnel from Forts Meade and Holabird to Fort Belvoir; and transfer of 220 personnel from leased space to Fort Belvoir and 106 personnel to Fort Devens. The realignment and closure actions would require renovation of existing facilities and construction of new facilities at Forts Belvoir and Myer; 10 construction projects would be planned at Fort Belvoir and 4 at Fort Myer. Regarding reuse options for Cameron Station, the city of Alexandria has zoned the property for a mixed-use development, which would be primarily residential, with some commercial and industrial development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While allowing for continued accomplishment of the missions currently based at Cameron Station and the other facilities from which mission activities would be transferred, the closure and realignment actions would promote the general efficiency of the affected Army missions. A reduction in human use on the Cameron site would result in minor improvement of the environment due to decreased vehicular traffic. The reuse plans for Cameron Station would provide significant socioeconomic benefits to the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Traffic volumes in the vicinity of Fort Belvoir would increase significantly, and alterations in commuter patterns could result. Less than 5.3 acres of wetlands would be impacted. Solid wastes generated by Fort Belvoir and other receiving installations would increase somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-526).

AN - 36402244; 3093 AB - PURPOSE: Control of Eurasian watermilfoil in the waterways of the state of Washington is proposed. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of October 1979 reviews and updates both geographic and treatment-related program elements in light of nearly 12 years of experience in the program, which was initiated in 1980, and associated research advancements in aquatic plant management. The base condition is determined by the conditions prevailing in the aquatic plant management program as described in the 1979 final EIS. Mechanical and physical treatment methods currently under consideration include mechanical harvesting, rotovation, suction dredge, bottom barriers, fragment barriers, and hand removal. Chemical herbicides under consideration include 2,4-D, endothall (dipotassium salt), dichlobenil, diquat, and fluridone (Sonar). The current program involves treatment of 91 acres in lakes Washington, Union, and Sammamish to clear navigation in intensively used areas. A concurrent program would prevent infestations in the Okanogan River and Osoyoos Lake from spreading to unaffected waters. Geographic changes in the limits of the program within the state would involve the addition of the Pend Oreille River between Box Canyon Dam and the Idaho border, which was added to the program in 1982; Swofford Pond on the Cowlitz River in Lewis County, which was treated with fluridone (Sonar) in 1988 and 1989; and the deletion of the Okanogan-Columbia rivers near Malott, Washington, which were treated with 2,4-D from 1981 through 1983, but are no longer proposed for treatment under the program. The tentatively selected program would involve continuation of the basic program with the addition of a stipulation allowing the use of the Sonar herbicide. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Management of the nuisance plant would remove obstructions to water-related recreation and prevent plants from spreading to uninfested areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mechanical harvesting, rotovation, and suction dredging would remove all bottom biota and cause temporary turbidity. Herbicides would kill target infestations rapidly, causing rapid decomposition of plants and, hence, resulting in the loss of dissolved oxygen from affected waters. This would result in fish mortality. Some public recreational activities would be temporarily restricted in chemically treated areas, and booms used for harvesting and rotovating would mar scenery and hinder navigation.

Preparation date: June 5, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Rock Dredging Exploration Using the Drilling Parameter Recorder AN - 19130289; 9206004 AB - The Dredging Research Program of the Army Corps of Engineers is refining an instrument called the Drilling Parameter Recorder (DPR), which can be used to characterize rock materials before actual dredging. Using the DPR can save laboratory testing and field production costs for a given number of site borings. In addition, where core recovery is poor, contact elevations will be more accurate since the DPR provides a continuous record of parameters related to material characteristics relative to depth. The DPR software produces graphic displays of any parameter in the following alternative formats: continuous line against depth or 'wireline' plot; three different block diagram displays; and histograms. Data were obtained and interpreted from a single interval of a boring made at Wilmington Harbor, North Carolina, made with a 4-inch by 5.5-inch core barrel. The recovered core was badly fragmented and eroded, with the largest fragment being about 0.08 ft long; approximately 70% of the drive was recovered. DPR data show that: (1) thrust is relatively constant because design of the drill rig uses operator control of the pull-up or hold-back cylinder to vary the force on the drill string; (2) speed can be manipulated to produce revolutions per time, degrees per time, or other measure; and (3) the plotted parameter time which can be used as an advance rate measure in very hard rock. These directly measured parameters can be refined in various ways and used to procure computed drilling parameters against depth. The DPR's development is ongoing, and while the final development of the DPR is scheduled for routine field use in late 1992, its current capabilities as a site characterization tool have been demonstrated at field sites. Currently, available methods of application include roller bit drilling of most holes, using the drilling parameters to provide site-specific correlations with a number of cored holes. This method allows for more boreholes at a site for the same cost and is particularly valuable when rock materials are highly variable with depth and over the site area. When cores are taken in coastal deposits, core recovery is typically poor. In this case, the DPR records show where in the core run material was recovered, and geological contact elevations can be determined with certainty even when no core is recovered.

AN - 36406196; 3137 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to improve navigation conditions along the lower Cumberland and Tennessee rivers is proposed via structural changes on the waterway system in Livingston and Marshall counties, Kentucky. Three construction plans and a No Action Alternative were evaluated. Under the preferred plan, one lock would be constructed at Kentucky Lock and Dam on the Tennessee River. The existing 100-foot by 600-foot lock at this site would operate as an auxiliary facility. The new lock would be 110 feet by 1,200 feet. The bridge carrying the Paducah & Louisville Railroad across the river near the existing lock would be relocated, and a new vehicular access road would link the right bank and a nearby switchyard. The existing lock operations building would be demolished, along with numerous other existing features. A new operations building would be constructed adjacent to the new lock, downstream of US 62/641. A visitor center would be constructed landward to the new lock on a hill upstream of Kentucky Dam, now occupied by a visitor overlook. An upland borrow/disposal area would be sited between Interstate 24 (I-24) and Russell Creek in what is now an open field. Some widening along the right margin of the existing navigation channel would be required between the existing lock approach and the I-24 bridge crossing. A stone training dike with a top elevation of 304 feet above mean sea level would be constructed from the downstream end of the switchyard island lower along the left channel margin for a distance of approximately 3,200 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Lock delays would be reduced for projected traffic demand levels. Project traffic demand would be reasonably accommodated during lock closures in the Kentucky-Barkley navigation system. In general, the capacity of the waterway system would be increased and its efficiency would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Temporary, localized degradation of water quality would result from construction activities. Terrestrial flora and associated wildlife habitat would be removed. Four federally listed endangered species of freshwater mussels could be adversely affected by the project. The right bank boat ramp at the mouth of Russell Creek would be removed during bank excavation, and construction activities would preclude bank fishing. A number of prehistoric and historic sites, including the Kentucky Lock and Dam, could be impacted by project implementation. Asbestos has been found in the existing lock operations building, which would be demolished, requiring that special measures be taken to ensure that this hazardous material is not released. Placement of the training dike would necessitate removal of two existing mooring cells.

AN - 36402328; 3136 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control project to reduce damages in the vicinity of Rossville, Kansas is proposed. The project, which would be designed to contain the overflows from Cross Creek, would consist of relocating the channel 0.25 mile west of Rossville and constructing a trail levee parallel to the new channel. A cutoff channel, approximately 3,800 feet long and 26 feet deep, would reduce the maximum flood elevation by allowing flows to pass more efficiently and would prevent the proposed levee from inducing higher flood elevations. The new channel would divert flows from approximately 6,900 feet of the existing stream channel, shortening the total length of Cross Creek by approximately 3,100 feet. The 9,500-foot-long trail levee would be tied to high ground north of town and taper off at a location adjacent to the existing channel south of town. The top-of-levee elevation at the upstream tie-off north of town is 938.26 feet national geodetic vertical datum (NGVD); the top-of-levee elevation decreases to 935.00 feet NGVD at bridge crossings and to 932.27 feet NGVD at the downstream tie-off south of town. Three interior drainage subbasins would be developed. A Union Pacific Railroad Bridge would be relocated as part of the project, and the US Highway 24 bridge would be reconstructed. Mitigation measures associated with the plan would include permanent acquisition of 12.6 acres of riparian timber and oxbow plus 13 acres of cropland, in addition to other lands specified as required for project purposes, obtaining additional temporary easements on 11.6 acres of land inside the levee north of the highway for disposal of the remaining excavated material, and construction specifications requiring that there be as little clearing as possible. Project facility construction would require the purchase of approximately 68.7 acres of land in fee or on permanent easement. The estimated cost of the project is $7.43 million at October 1990 price levels, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. The annualized cost of the project is $698,000. Annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $5,500. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project facilities would protect Rossville against the 500-year-frequency flood on Cross Creek. Human health and safety as well as real property would be protected against flooding. Annual project benefits would amount to $769,000. Community decline within the developed portion of the floodplain would be prevented. Approximately 528 acres of farmlands would also be protected. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water flows would be eliminated in 2,900 feet of channel and reduced in 4,000 feet of old channel. The aquatic environment in the existing stream meander would be totally lost due to filling of the isolated meander loop with excess earthen material from excavation of the new channel. Farmlands protected by flood control structures would be subject to conversion to urban land.

Preparation date: May 30, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERNATIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND OUTFALL FACILITIES, CALIFORNIA AND MEXICO. AN - 36406163; 3129 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of an International Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWTP) and associated outfall facilities is proposed to treat flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River near the California-Mexico line. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would make grants to the International Boundary and Water Commission (IWBC) to construct a 25-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) secondary treatment plant for wastewater on a site in the Tijuana River valley in the United States. This IWTP would collect and treat wastewater flows from the city of Tijuana that are currently flowing into California via the Tijuana River, other renegade wastewater flows entering the United States from north-draining canyons and gullies, and future sewage flows from Tijuana up to a total of 25 mgd. Treatment processes would include primary treatment via mechanically cleaned bar screens, grit removal via vortex grit chambers, primary sedimentation removal via rectangular clarifiers, biological treatment via activated sludge mixing with fine bubble diffusers, secondary sedimentation removal via rectangular clarifiers, and disinfection via chlorine. The sludge treatment process would include dissolved air flotation thickeners, stabilization via anaerobic digestion, and dewatering via belt filter press technique. Following treatment, effluent would be discharged into the Pacific Ocean in the United States via a land and ocean outfall conveyance system. Sludge generated by the treatment plant would be either processed by sludge processing facilities on-site or transported, in dilute form, back to Mexico for treatment and disposal. The proposed action would be undertaken with the understanding that Mexico would make significant in-country improvements to ensure that there would be no discharges of treated or untreated domestic or industrial wastewater into the Tijuana River that crosses the international boundary. The proposed action is related to other wastewater treatment facilities planned for the South Bay area, including the city of San Diego's Clean Water Program and EPA's South Bay Land Outfall. The city of San Diego would most likely build a 55-mgd treatment plant at a site along Dairy Mart Road in South Bay, the same site on which the IWTP would most likely be constructed; the site is large enough to accommodate both plants. Both plants would share the South Bay Land Outfall and land outfall extension, through which effluent would be routed from the treatment plants at Dairy Mart Road to the South Bay Ocean Outfall. The outfall would consist of a 12,300-foot, 144-inch-diameter pipeline running east to west from the Dairy Mart Road site to the mouth of Goat Canyon. The outfall extension, which would connect the land outfall to the ocean outfall, would run south and slightly west from the South Bay Land Outfall to intersect with Monument Road, where it would turn west along the roadway through Border Field State Park to connect with the ocean outfall; the extension pipeline, which would also have a 144-inch diameter, would be buried in a trench along its entire 6,500-foot length. The ocean outfall would discharge effluent to the Pacific Ocean 17,900 feet offshore via a wye diffuser; each leg of the wye would be 2,400 feet long. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Treatment of raw sewage currently flowing from Mexico into the San Diego area via the Tijuana River would improve public health and safety in southern California. Quarantines of beaches along the south San Diego shore would be obviated, and severe damage to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve would be halted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of the two treatment plants at the Dairy Mart Road site would disturb three acres of mule fat scrub, 3.9 acres of coastal sage scrub within the territory of a pair of California gnatcatchers, 107.1 acres of other lands, and 48 acres of floodplains. Construction of the renegade sewage collection system would impact channelized portions of the Tijuana River, but would not affect associated biological resources. Installation of a conveyance pipeline within the south levee of the river would temporarily impact 11 acres of already disturbed land. Other structures associated with the renegade sewage collection system would impact approximately 15.5 acres of land, including floodplain. Construction of a field office for the IWBC would displace 1.4 acres of floodplains, and construction activities could affect the least Bell's vireo, an endangered species. Elimination of sewage surface flows in the Tijuana River due to operation of the system would result in losses of riparian vegetation and associated wildlife habitat.

Preparation date: May 29, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KENSINGTON GOLD PROJECT, TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST, ALASKA. AN - 15229981; 3094 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an underground gold mine in the Chatham Area of the Tongass National Forest, located in Alaska, is proposed. The project, to be known as the Kensington Project, is a joint venture between Coeur Alaska Inc. (a subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation) and Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. a subsidiary of Echo Bay Mines Ltd. The Kensington ore zone is found in the north end of the Juneau Gold Belt. The mine site would be located on the west side of the Kakuhan Range adjacent to Lynn Canal, approximately 45 air miles north of Juneau and 35 air miles south of Haines, Alaska. The Tongass National Forest is the last substantially intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Significant issues identified during project scoping include socioeconomics, fisheries, marine transportation, water quality, recreation, visibility and air quality, land use and reclamation, wildlife habitat, subsistence activities, technical feasibility, and economic feasibility. Various options were considered for waste rock disposal, ore crushing and grinding, cyanidation, processing of ore and concentrate, ore refining, cyanide destruction, tailings disposal, housing of employees, water supply, fuel storage, solid waste disposal, sewage disposal, rock quarry locations, and joint facility schemes. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the project would consist of an underground gold mine, an ore processing facility, an office and maintenance complex, an employee camp, a heliport, a marine terminal, an explosives magazine, and miscellaneous support areas. The mine, which would be developed using a long hole, open-stoping technique, would have an expected life of 12 years and produce approximately 4,000 tons of ore and 400 tons of underground development waste rock per day. Waste rock would be used for the construction of a cross-valley tailings pond embankment at Sherman Creek. Waste rock would also be used for the construction of road bases and facility foundations. An employee camp would be constructed on-site to house workers. Employees would be transported to the work site by helicopter. Supplies and fuel would be transported by barge to a marine terminal at Comet Beach. Ore would be milled using the conventional flotation technique followed by standard tank cyanidation methods to produce gold bullion. Reclamation activities would be implemented as appropriate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining activities would employ 340 persons during full production, and the mine would generally enhance economic indicators locally. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and associated activities would disturb approximately 275 acres of vegetation, including 231 acres of wetland vegetation, and the associated wildlife habitat. Approximately one mile of Sherman Creek would be diverted in a pipe around the tailings impoundment, and approximately 2,000 feet of Ophio Creek would be diverted in an open channel. Construction activities would temporarily increase sediment levels in local streams. The mine site could be adversely affected by seismic activity and seiche landslides. Accidental spills from the marine outfall pipeline could degrade water quality in Sherman and Sweeny creeks. Flow reductions in affected streams would degrade fishery quality for anadromous fish. Adverse shoreline impacts along Berners Bay associated with the project would adversely affect recreationists, who would also be subjected to visual intrusions of project facilities. Marine traffic on Lynn Canal would increase significantly. Site activities, helicopter flights, and activities at the Berners Bay terminal would generate significant noise levels.

Preparation date: May 21, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ARKABUTLA LAKE, ENID LAKE, GRENADA LAKE, AND SARDIS LAKE, MISSISSIPPI (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1978). AN - 36404679; 3138 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of channel restoration from river mile 225.9 to river mile 234.8 on the Tallahatchie River and river mile 0.8 to river mile 12.2 on the Yalobusha River in northwest Mississippi is proposed in this draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of August 1978 on the operation and maintenance of Arkabutla, Enid, Grenada, and Sardis lakes. Channel excavation extends from river mile 0.8, just upstream of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Bridge, to mile 12.2, just downstream of the Avalon Bridge in Leflore County. The channel excavation was continuous, except for no-work reaches within 500 feet (upstream and downstream) of the Whaley and Avalon bridges. Riprap protection was provided from a point 50 feet upstream to a point 50 feet downstream of the bridges. Dredging was performed by draglines to excavate an 80-foot-wide channel bottom with 1 vertical on 3 horizontal side slopes. The work was accomplished on alternating sides of the stream to avoid environmentally sensitive areas. Excavated material was placed on top of existing excavated material disposal areas with gaps left in the disposal banks to provide for interior drainage. Equipment access to the area on which to place the excavated material required clearing of a 300-foot-wide strip along the top bank of the work reach. This supplemental EIS resulted from litigation initiated by the state of Mississippi against the project when it was 50 percent complete; it addresses the impacts associated with operation and maintenance of the outlet channels from all four of the lakes discussed in the final EIS. In 1989, a decision was made to supplement the final EIS and to include the outlet channels from all four of the lakes of the Yazoo Headwater Project in the supplemental EIS. It was determined during the scoping process that by completing maintenance work on a segment of the Tallahatchie River (river mile 225.8 to river mile 234.8) and the Yalobusha River (river mile 0.8 to river mile 12.2), the desired flood control operating capacity of the Yazoo Headwater Project could be accomplished. It was, therefore, decided to limit the study to the impacts of these two maintenance projects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flooding along the channelized reach of the river would decline substantially, reducing damage to property and potential health and safety hazards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 295 acres, including 41 acres of wetlands, would be directly impacted by the clearing operation required to allow for access to the dredged material disposal areas. Bottomland hardwoods constitute most of the nonwetland area cleared. Dredging effects, particularly turbidity, alter chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of the stream during dredging operations. Reduction of seasonal flooding and direct destruction of wetlands would reduce habitat for wintering waterfowl.

AN - 36409672; 3131 AB - PURPOSE: The Tombigbee River and Tributaries Project provided for flood reduction measures along 22 streams tributary to the Tombigbee River in northeast Mississippi and northwest Alabama. These measures were to include channel clearing, snagging, enlargement, realignment, erosion protection, and other alternatives that would reduce flood damages and result in land enhancement. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of May 1975 covers already completed portions (Phase 1) and not yet initiated portions (Phase 2) of the Luxapalila Creek segment of the project, which would result in reduction of flood damages in Lowndes County, Mississippi and Lamar County, Alabama. This final supplement also evaluates two types of flood protection measures: those that modify flood stages, and those that modify the floodplain. Phase 1, which was undertaken from 1971 to 1973, involved channel modifications of the lower 2.1 miles of the creek. Phase 2 would involve channel enlargement and realignment as well as bank clearing from mile 2.1 to mile 26.2, which lies in Alabama. The total length of the modified channel would be 19.9 miles from the mouth to mile 26.2. The nonstructural component of the project would consist of a flood warning system for the Luxapalila Creek basin. Structural measures would include: (1) channel modifications from the upstream limit of the existing channel works at mile 2.1 to Waterworks Road (Highway 50) at mile 6.2, including a fabric dam control structure for streambed stabilization and fish passage enhancement, five notched sills and pools for stream fish resource mitigation, and modifications to the Columbus water intake; (2) selective clearing and snagging of Luxapalila Creek from mile 6.2 to 28.4 near Millport, Alabama; (3) excavation of a diversion channel from the previously modified channel at mile 28.4 to the old stream meander on the right (north) floodplain; (4) excavation of five small lateral channels in the reach between mile 24.6 and mile 28.4 to aid in alleviating the year-round flooding on the left (south) floodplain; (5) implementation of a beaver trapping and dam removal program between Steens, Mississippi and Millport; (6) construction of 10 notched sills for fish mitigation between miles 29.3 and 31.4; (7) construction of a sediment trap immediately downstream (west) of the Alabama Highway 17 bridge near Millport at mile 31.6; and (8) preservation of habitat and acquisition of approximately 550 acres of project rights-of-way with restrictive timber easements between Steens and Millport. The local sponsor for the Mississippi portion of the project would dedicate or acquire 150 acres of bottomland hardwoods for wildlife mitigation. Extensive disposal sites would be designated for dredge spoil. A fabric dam, capable of being inflated to 150 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum, would be constructed downstream of Waterworks Road to serve as a grade control structure. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damages in both Mississippi and Alabama would be reduced significantly. The quality of life of residents of Columbus, Mississippi would improve due to alleviation of fears and uncertainties associated with frequent floods. Property values could increase as well. Land productivity in Alabama would increase substantially. A recurring mosquito problem would be greatly reduced, and recreational and wildlife habitat would improve significantly. Approximately 3,400 acres of wildlife habitat, 2,250 acres of preserve land, and 1,300 acres of fish habitat would be enhanced due to reduced flooding. Timber and agricultural land would increase significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 338 acres of wildlife habitat and 77 acres of pond and stream fish habitat would be lost, along with 3,400 acres of permanent and semipermanent wetland habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other aquatic organisms; the latter acreage would be converted from wetland to bottomland hardwood forest. The conversion of 4.1 miles of a free-flowing stream to a straightened channel would affect aquatic flora and fauna and stream-oriented recreational opportunities.

Preparation date: May 15, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OCEAN DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITE DESIGNATION, BRAZOS ISLAND HARBOR 42-FOOT PROJECT, TEXAS. AN - 15230365; 3141 AB - PURPOSE: Designation of a site for one-time ocean disposal of 1.325 million cubic yards of construction material to be dredged from the Brazos Island Harbor (BIH) Entrance Channel offshore of Brownsville, Texas is proposed. This action is in conjunction with the Army Corps of Engineers BIH Texas 42-Foot Project. The general alternatives examined were the No Action Alternative, upland disposal, and ocean disposal. Dredged material would predominantly be silt and clay. The preferred size of the site was determined, based on models of the ocean discharge of dredged material, to be 5,300 feet in a direction parallel to the channel (east-west) and 2,895 feet in a direction perpendicular to the channel (north-south). The models accounted for down-current dispersion of disposed material. Specific coordinates of the preferred near-shore site are as follows: 26 degrees, 4 minutes, 47 seconds north latitude (N), 97 degrees, 5 minutes, 7 seconds west longitude (W); 26 degrees, 5 minutes, 16 seconds N, 97 degrees, 5 minutes, 4 seconds W; 26 degrees, 5 minutes, 10 seconds N, 97 degrees, 4 minutes, 6 seconds W; 26 degrees, 4 minutes, 42 seconds N, 97 degrees, 4 minutes, 9 seconds W. Disposal operations would be expected to occur over a period of no more than two years. Site monitoring would include routine bathymetric scans to assess mounding at the disposal site. Monitoring stations, including a control station, stations located immediately outside the site, and stations located some distance down-current of the site, would be sampled for grain-size analysis, chemical characterization of sediments, and macrobenthic invertebrates. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Designation of the ocean disposal site would provide for an environmentally acceptable location for the ocean disposal of dredged materials from the Brazos Island Harbor Entrance Channel, allowing for deepening of the channel as appropriate and improved navigation capacity leading into the harbor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of the proposed site would result in temporary turbidity, temporary loss of benthic biota at the site, potential alteration of site bathymetry, and sediment composition. Some potentially recyclable material (i.e., sand for landfill) would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.).

AN - 36401838; 3080 AB - PURPOSE: Closure of the Army Materials Technology Laboratory (AMTL) in Watertown, Massachusetts is proposed, along with transfers of the research and development functions to other installations along the eastern seaboard. Receiving installations would include the Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey; the Detroit Arsenal, Michigan; Fort Belvoir, Virginia; Fort Devens, Massachusetts; ISC, Adelphi, Maryland; and TMDE, Natick, Massachusetts. Functions to be transferred would include: (1) the ceramics and related research functions to the U.S. Tank-Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center at Detroit Arsenal; (2) the metal and metal-related research functions to the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal; (3) the corrosion prevention- and control-related research to the Belvoir Research, Development, and Engineering Center at Fort Belvoir; (4) the polymers, composites, related research functions, ballistic missile defense program management, and Army materials technology base integration and management functions to a U.S. Army Laboratory Command organization at Fort Belvoir; and (5) the information management, health services, and calibration functions to ISC, MEDDAC, TMDE, Fort Belvoir, and Picatinny Arsenal. The relocation of functions from AMTL would also involve the transfer of personnel positions/authorizations. Primarily civilian positions would be affected. In addition to the transfer and reduction of personnel positions, the proposed action would require renovating existing facilities and constructing new facilities to contain the new research functions at Picatinny Arsenal, Detroit Arsenal, and Fort Belvoir. At Picatinny Arsenal, Building 31, containing 60,000 square feet of space, would be renovated for use as a Metallurgy Laboratory. At Detroit Arsenal, a new Ceramics Research Laboratory, containing 45,000 square feet of space, would be constructed. At Fort Belvoir, a new Advanced Materials Laboratory, containing 110,000 square feet of space, would be constructed, and minor modifications would be made to buildings 362, 363, and 341 for corrosion research. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Superannuated facilities located at the AMTL would be replaced by modern facilities at the new installations. The effectiveness and fighting capability of Army units dependent on AMTL support would be enhanced significantly. Most transferrals would result in consolidation with similar existing functions at the receiving installations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A total of 564 civilian and 14 military positions would be affected, involving the transfer of 339 military and 12 civilian positions and elimination of 225 civilian and 2 military positions. Hazardous wastes, including radioactive wastes, would have to be accommodated during clean-up operations at AMTL. Reuse of the AMTL site, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, could affect its historic values.

Preparation date: May 8, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MODIFICATIONS TO DIKE 14 CONFINED DISPOSAL FACILITY, CLEVELAND HARBOR, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO. AN - 36406552; 3139 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of the Dike 14 Confined Disposal Facility in Cleveland Harbor, Cuyahoga County, Ohio is proposed. Since 1968, all material dredged from the Cleveland River by the Federal Government, and much of that from the Outer Harbor and entrance channel, has been placed in confinement areas constructed in the harbor area. Dike Disposal Site 14 was constructed between September 1976 and October 1979. Since its completion, all highly polluted sediments dredged from federal navigation channels in Cleveland Harbor have been placed in the Dike 14 facility, which covers 88 acres. Dike 14 has also been used as a disposal site by various private dredging operations. Under the proposed plan, the dike would be incrementally raised to provide additional interim disposal capacity until a new confined disposal facility could be developed. The incremental raising would take place only if interim disposal of dredged material became necessary. The plan would raise the dike at the existing site by a maximum of 7 feet, or 27 feet above the low water datum, and provide a maximum service life of approximately three years beyond its current capacity. A seven-foot increase in the dike height would provide 880,000 cubic yards of capacity. The plan would result in an increased height of dredged material within the existing dike and over the top of the Doan Brook culvert. Structural analysis indicates that the culvert would be overstressed if dredged material is allowed to flow freely to the planned elevation afforded by the increased height of the perimeter dike. To assure that design limitations as to maximum fill elevations are not exceeded, temporary dikes would be constructed to hold back the dredged material from over the top of Doan Brook culvert. The center area over the Doan Brook culvert would be secluded by temporary dike walls along each side. A maximum fill elevation of 19 feet above low water datum would be maintained over the lakeward end of the culvert, with a nominal upward gradient landward to provide positive drainage of the area. A weir would be constructed at the dike wall by cutting off the existing sheet pile elevation at 19.5 feet above low water datum. The estimated cost of the project is $1.39 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the capacity of the diked disposal facility would ensure an environmentally appropriate receptacle for contaminated material dredged from federal and nonfederal channels within Cleveland Harbor. This would allow continued use of harbor channels, sustaining the local and regional economy. Maintenance dredging would reduce sediment loadings from the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Future dredging of harbor channels would result in resuspension of pollutants, turbidity, and temporary aesthetic impacts due to reduced water clarity. Dredging would also damage and, in some cases, destroy aquatic organisms. Construction and dredging operations would result in significant noise emissions. Expansion of the diked facility would delay plans to transform the facility into a city park.

AN - 36401888; 3140 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of the Elk Creek Lake project, a concrete dam and reservoir to be located on Elk Creek approximately 1.7 miles upstream from its confluence with the Rogue River, in Jackson County, Oregon are proposed. Project purposes include flood control, irrigation, water supply, and recreation. This second final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of September 1971 has been prepared in response to the decisions of the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in Oregon Natural Resources Council v. Marsh; the decisions indicated that the final EIS and first EIS supplement did not comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. Compared to the No Action Alternative, the preferred alternative would be to complete Elk Creek Dam and to operate it for flood control only, with no conservation pool, until demand for conservation storage develops. The 249-foot-high, 2,580-foot-long concrete dam would impound 101,000 acre-feet of water at full pond, 41,000 acre-feet at minimum control pool, and 6,000 acre-feet at minimum conservation pool. The project would require acquisition of 3,502 acres of land. Costs to complete the project, with and without a conservation pool, are estimated at $69.0 million and $72.0 million, respectively; and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $500,000. The issues identified by the courts and stressed in this document are effects on flows, water temperature, and turbidity and related effects on fish production and fishing in the Rogue River; effects on recreation and the local economy; and effects on wildlife and wildlife habitat mitigation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would protect downstream areas from flooding. Dam operation would provide 20,000 acre-feet of water for downstream municipal uses and 88,000 acre-feet for irrigation. On completion, the lake fishery and associated land would attract 290,000 additional visitors per year within 20 years and enhance fish and wildlife management in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The impoundment would inundate 6.2 miles of Elk Creek, eliminating self-sustaining populations of summer and winter steelhead and coho salmon; increase turbidity duration in the creek; inundate 1,290 acres of land, destroying vegetation, farmland, and forestland and displacing wildlife habitat; and destroy some wetlands.

First, year-long current records from two stations were analyzed for response to runoff, wind stress and gravitational forcing. A strong spring freshet in April resulted in an annual maximum in the longitudinal density gradient, yet the surface current at mid-bay actually declined at the time of this maximum. The reason for this response lies in a prolonged period of northward wind that effectively reduced the strength of the two-layer gravitational flow. This shows that seasonal changes in the wind field can modulate the gravitational flow and that these annual wind shifts are a significant factor in the circulation of this estuary. Statistical analysis also indicates correlation between surface current and longitudinal wind at time scales of 15 days and longer, implying that meteorological effects cannot be completely filtered out at these frequencies. These data demonstrate that Chesapeake Bay circulation, unlike runoff, does not change by orders of magnitude between seasons, indicating that an examination of spatial patterns of circulation can be made using data collected during different deployment periods. A total of 168 current records from 1977 to 1983, averaged over periods of at least 15 days, were used to examine the spatial structure of the mean bay-wide circulation. Surface velocity, while predominantly down-bay, shows considerable longitudinal structure. This is to be expected considering the different meteorological conditions under which the data was collected. However, bottom observations show remarkably coherent up-bay flow regardless of the measurement period, illustrating the dominant role of topography and the importance of the gravitational mode in bay circulation.

AN - 36385622; 3120 AB - PURPOSE: Widening of approximately 8.1 miles of the Interstate 5 (I-5) Freeway between State Route (SR) 22 (Garden Grove Freeway) and SR 91 (Riverside Freeway) in Orange County, California is proposed. The project corridor lies within the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Buena Park, and Fullerton. The project boundaries extend from the nothernmost structure of the I-5/SR 22/SR 57 interchange to the northernmost structure of the I-5/SR 91 interchange. The topography of the project area is characterized by gentle slopes. The freeway would be widened from 6 to 12 lanes. From SR 22/SR 57 to Katella Avenue, the expanded highway section would consist of four mixed-flow lanes, one transitway, and one noncontinuous auxiliary lane between the on and off ramps in each direction. From Katella Avenue to SR 91, the expanded highway section would consist of four mixed-flow lanes, one commuter lane, and one noncontinuous auxiliary lane between on and off ramps in each direction, as well as modification of all local interchanges. The transitway would have its own exclusive access and exit ramps at Lewis Street and Pacifico Avenue in Anaheim. The estimated cost of the section of the project extending from I-5/SR 22/SR 57 to Katella Avenue is $709.7 million. The estimated cost of the section of the project extending from Katella Avenue to SR 91 is $754.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expanding the capacity of I-5, which was constructed approximately 30 years ago and has become deficient in capacity, would help alleviate current and projected freeway congestion and operational problems, particularly during peak travel times. Emissions of carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbons would decline in an area where state and federal air quality standards are occasionally exceeded. If noise control walls are constructed, noise levels could decrease by as much as 11 decibels on the A-weighted scale along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the project would displace 466 residential units and 384 businesses employing 1,569 persons. The 12-lane expansion would displace 1,122 parking spaces associated with commercial uses. Nitrogen oxide emissions would increase within the corridor. Unless noise control walls are constructed, noise along the corridor would increase significantly. Substantial earthworks would be required.

AN - 36408479; 3135 AB - PURPOSE: Modification of the Kawainui Marsh Flood Control project is proposed to protect the community of Coconut Grove in the city of Kailua, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The study area, which is located on the northeast side of Oahu, covers approximately 11.2 square miles, extending from the Koolau Mountains through Kawainui Marsh to the ocean. Flood control in the area has been reexamined because existing structures failed to protect Coconut Grove from severe flood damages on January 1, 1988. In addition to the No Action Alternative, six alternatives were evaluated. Selection of a recommended plan will not be made until public involvement is completed. Under the tentatively selected plan, a concrete floodwall would be constructed on the existing levee. The floodwall would range in height up to a maximum of eight feet along the entire 6,200-foot length of the levee. The floodwall would extend from Kailua Road to Oneawa Channel. In order to construct the floodwall, approximately one foot of the existing levee crest would be removed to form a base for an ""L''-shaped concrete wall. Steel sheetpiles would be driven into the existing levee on the marsh side to a maximum depth at an elevation of approximately 7.5 feet below mean sea level to preclude water seepage and subsequent undermining. A 16-foot-wide concrete footing on the levee crest would allow maintenance and recreational access along the top of the levee. The vertical floodwall stem would be placed 11.5 feet back from the edge of the footing. Landscaping would be provided on the Coconut Grove side of the wall to soften and obscure the outline of the wall. The floodwall would include approximately 1.2 million pounds of reinforcing steel and some 6,600 cubic yards of concrete. A flood warning system would also be established. The estimated construction cost for the 18-month project is $8.2 million, with an additional interest charge of $538,000, for a total first cost of $8.738 million. Annualized construction and maintenance costs are estimated at $765,000 and $30,000, respectively. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In combination with the levee, the floodwall would provide the community of Coconut Grove with protection against the 100-year-frequency storm. Average annual benefits redounding from the project would be worth $1.827 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The floodwall would constitute a visual barrier, blocking the view of the marsh from adjacent residences; some public opposition is anticipated. Temporary increases in air and noise pollution would occur during construction, as well as temporary impacts to water quality. Recreational and public access to the marsh, as well as access to the marsh by feral animals, would also be impeded, but these impacts would be mitigated.

Preparation date: April 24, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TH 14 FROM THE JUNCTION OF THE NORTH MANKATO-MANKATO BYPASS AND COUNTY ROAD 193 AT THE EAST EDGE OF MANKATO TO SMITHS MILL AT THE EAST BLUE EARTH COUNTY LINE, MINNESOTA. AN - 36411504; 3125 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and improvement of Trunk Highway (TH) 14 between Mankato and Smiths Mill in Blue Earth County, Minnesota are proposed. In addition to the No Action Alternative, one two-lane alternative, three four-lane alternatives between Mankato and Eagle Lake (alternatives B1, B2, and W), and three four-lane alternatives between Eagle Lake and Smiths Mill (alternatives D, E, and F) were evaluated. Under the preferred plan, the highway project, which would extend approximately 10 miles between the North Mankato-Mankato Bypass and Smiths Mill, would provide a four-lane facility. An interchange would be located at the intersection of the eastern terminus of the bypass and County Road (CR) 193. The three alternative alignments remain under consideration for the segment extending from CR 193 to a point just east of the city of Eagle Lake. Alternatives B1 and B2 would depart from the existing TH 14 alignment at the junction of CR 193 and the east terminus of the North Mankato-Mankato Bypass and extend eastward on the same centerline for approximately 2.25 miles. After crossing the southern edge of a large wetland/upland complex and County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 3, alternatives B1 and B2 would curve southeasterly, cross the northern edge of a wetland, and parallel the Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern (DME) Railroad before curving to the east. Then, Alternative B1 would take a southern route across a wetland, while Alternative B2 would cross to the north of the same wetland. Both of these alternatives would bridge the railroad and provide for at-grade access to the city of Eagle Lake at the west edge of Eagle Lake. Both alternatives would cross the lake outlet and intersect CSAH 17 (Alternative B1) or Township Road (TR) 314 (Alternative B2), east of the city of Eagle Lake. Like alternatives B1 and B2, Alternative W would begin at CR 193, extend easterly for approximately one mile before curving southward to skirt a major portion of the large wetland/upland complex, then continue eastward across CSAH 3, the north edge of a wetland, and the DME Railroad tracks. Alternative W would then curve slightly to the north and east to avoid the city of Eagle Lake, intersect with a connection to TR 341, and cross the Eagle Lake outlet. The preferred alternative would include Alternative B1, B2, or W in combination with Alternative D, which would continue the project east of Eagle Lake, extending southeastward to the DME Railroad tracks, paralleling the tracks on the north side to a connection to existing TH 14 east of the TH 60 junction. Beyond the transition area, existing TH 14 would be reconstructed as a two-lane roadway. The estimated cost of the project, which would be phased over a two-year period, ranges from $8.75 million to $9.05 million, depending on the final combination of alternatives chosen. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By separating regional and urban traffic in the vicinity of a large urban area in south-central Minnesota, the project would ease both local and through traffic movements. The highway would also provide additional traffic capacity and a higher level of service. Noise levels within the city of Eagle Lake would decline. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the degradation or loss of from 18.8 to 20.6 acres of stream waterways and wetlands and from 165.9 to 168.0 acres of farmlands. From 6.4 to 9.6 acres of farmlands would be triangulated, and 8 to 10 farmed parcels would be severed. Displacement of up to three residences and small businesses would be required. Noise levels near farmsteads along the bypass route would increase significantly, and the highway would intrude on the visual aesthetics of a predominantly rural area. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: April 22, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONWAY BYPASS (FORMERLY NORTHERN OUTER BYPASS), FROM US ROUTE 501 TO US ROUTE 17, HORRY COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36404723; 3128 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the Conway Bypass (formerly known as the Northern Outer Bypass) in Horry County, South Carolina is proposed. The new 30-mile highway would extend eastward from US Route 501 between the town of Aynor and the city of Conway, proceed eastward around the north side of Conway and end on US Route 17 between the cities of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Design features would include four lanes from US Route 501 to SC Route 905 and six lanes from SC Route 905 to US Route 17, 12-foot-wide travel lanes, 10- to 12-foot safety shoulders, and a 60- to 80-foot-wide graded median within a general rights-of-way width of approximately 260 feet. The rights-of-way would be able to accommodate expansion of the facility to six and eight lanes in the future if necessary. Rights-of-way requirements would be greater at interchanges. A high-level bridge would be provided over the Intracoastal Waterway. Bridges would also be provided over major stream crossings, at major crossroads and railroads, and at other locations where necessary to accommodate soil and hydraulic conditions. Interchanges would be provided at US Route 501, SC Route 319, US Route 701, SC Route 905, SC Route 90, and US Route 17. The diamond interchange configuration would be used at the less heavily travelled interchanges, while directional ramps and loops would be used at the more heavily travelled interchanges. The estimated cost of the project is $353.0 million in 1988 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Access to beach resort areas in the vicinity of the Grand Strand at Myrtle Beach and in North Myrtle Beach would be improved. Additional regional traffic volumes expected in Horry County would be accommodated. Internal circulation conditions in Conway and along the Grand Strand would be eased. An additional emergency evacuation route from the coast would be provided for hurricane relief. The highway design would preserve the rural freeway appearance, eliminate the need for costly median barriers, eliminate the need to acquire additional rights-of-way in the future when it would be more difficult and costly, and preclude additional impacts associated with expanding rights-of-way limits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 3 homes, 2 businesses, 433 acres of wetlands, and 436 acres of farmlands. Approximately 110.4 acres would be impacted by fill, and 109 acres would be covered by bridge structures. Noise levels would exceed federal standards at eight sites. Highway development would affect seven archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: April 18, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAND AND GRAVEL MINING, CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, GEORGIA. AN - 36409215; 3068 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of permits for sand and gravel mining within the boundaries of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (NRA) of Georgia is proposed. The NRA, which is located within and near the city of Atlanta, is a narrow strip of private and public land along a 48-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River extending from Buford Dam (river mile 348.3) to Peachtree Creek (river mile 300.5). New permit applicants are Embry Farms and Minerals Unlimited. Several other commercial interests have applied for renewal of their existing permits to dredge in the NRA. These include Williams Brothers Construction Company, Incorporated; Shakerag Sand Company; C. D. Milam Corporation; Alpha Asphalt Incorporated; Ace Sand Company; and Stamp's Sand Company. In addition to the issuance of no permits (Alternative A), six alternatives are under consideration. Alternative B would involve issuance of individual permits to applicants who would be willing and able to comply with requirements and conditions that could be written into permits. Surveys for threatened and endangered species and for cultural resources would be required for all proposed new dredging areas. Alternatives C1 and C2 would add stipulations involving a minimum distance of 160 meters between adjacent dredging operations to eliminate spatial overlap of environmental impacts to water quality (C1) and trout populations and habitat quality (C2). Permits issued under Alternative C3 would require a minimum distance of 1,600 meters between adjacent dredging operations to ensure that no visitor to the NRA would be able to view two dredges simultaneously. Alternative D would entail the issuance of a regional permit for sand and gravel in the NRA. The permit requirements under Alternative D would include the general and special conditions that would be included in individual permits under alternatives B, C1, C2, and C3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: River sand and gravel would continue to allow for local sources of concrete constituents. Gravel could also be used for fill material and as a filtering layer in domestic septic systems. Allowing local Atlanta interests to mine sand and gravel from the Chattahoochee River would enable the local construction industry interests to be independent of sand and gravel sources outside the area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging operations would create turbidity and alter the bottom topography of the river. Dredges would mar the visual aspect of the river for recreational users.

Preparation date: April 12, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAVANNAH HARBOR DEEPENING, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA AND JASPER COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36411902; 3388 AB - PURPOSE: A plan for deepening Savannah Harbor is proposed. Savannah Harbor comprises the lower 21.3 miles of the Savannah River in Chatham County, Georgia and Jasper County, South Carolina and has a current project inner harbor depth of -38 feet mean low water (mlw) from its mouth to the Kings Island Turning Basin. Seven plans for deepening the harbor were developed, each involving different methods of dredging and/or disposal. Of these alternatives, all but three and the No Action Alternative were eliminated. Under the preferred alternative, the channel would be deepened to an authorized depth of -42 feet mlw between station 0+000 (river mile 0) and 103+000 (river mile 19.5), including Kings Island Turning Basin. The bar channel would be deepened to an authorized depth of -42 feet mlw between stations 0+000 and the end of the jetties (station 14+000B), then to -44 feet mlw between 14+000B (2.65 miles oceanward of river mile 0) and 60+000B (11.4 miles oceanward of river mile 0). All new work dredged material from the interior channel (6.358 million cubic yards) would be placed in existing disposal areas. The new work is assumed to be mostly sand and could be used to improve and increase the heights of the dike systems of the existing disposal areas. New work material from the bar channel (approximately 1.108 million cubic yards) would be dredged and carried by hopper dredge to the ocean disposal site. This would result in a slight reduction in the capacity of the ocean disposal site. The plan assumes that all maintenance dredging for the present 38-foot channel would be completed prior to the new work dredging, including advance maintenance dredging where applicable. Total initial costs are estimated to be approximately $27.8 million. Average annual costs would be $2.6 million, and average annual benefits would be $3.85 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel deepening would allow passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays. The harbor modification would make Savannah Harbor more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for Savannah, Chatham County, and Georgia. Depositing new work in existing disposal areas would extend their lifetime capacities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal of dredged material as proposed would not cause any new adverse environmental impacts, since existing disposal areas and dredging techniques currently being used in the harbor would continue. Although dredging might affect the historic wreck of the CSS Georgia, impacts could be mitigated by mapping, recovery, and conservation of the wreckage on the channel bottom and the 100-foot stand-off restrictions to dredging in this area. Benthic communities in the area of channel deepening would be disturbed, especially where the channel has to be widened; most of the benthic population would be lost from the dredging. Minor salinity increases would occur, and new impacts to significant cultural resources could occur from the deepening.

Preparation date: April 9, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAVANNAH HARBOR DEEPENING, CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA (REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36406507; 3069 AB - PURPOSE: A plan for deepening Savannah Harbor in Chatham County, Georgia is proposed. Savannah Harbor is located along the first 21.3 miles of the Savannah River and has a current project inner harbor depth of 38 feet mean low water (mlw) from its mouth to the Kings Island Turning Basin. Seven plans for deepening the harbor were developed, each involving different methods of dredging and/or disposal. Of these alternatives, all but three and the No Action Alternative were eliminated. Under the preferred alternative, the channel would be deepened to an authorized depth of -42 feet mlw between station 0+000 (river mile 0) and 103+000 (river mile 19.5), including Kings Island Turning Basin. The bar channel would be deepened to an authorized depth of -42 feet mlw between stations 0+000 and the end of the jetties (station 14+000B), then to -44 feet mlw between 14+000B (2.65 miles oceanward of river mile 0) and 60+000B (11.4 miles oceanward of river mile 0). All new work dredged material from the interior channel (4.58 million cubic yards) would be placed in existing disposal areas. The new work is assumed to be mostly sand and could be used to improve and increase the heights of the dike systems of the existing disposal areas. New work material from the bar channel (approximately 2.34 million cubic yards) would be dredged and carried by hopper dredge to the ocean disposal site. This would result in a slight reduction in the capacity of the ocean disposal site. The plan assumes that all maintenance dredging for the present 38-foot channel would be completed prior to the new work dredging, including advance maintenance dredging where applicable. Total initial costs are estimated to be approximately $22.1 million. Average annual costs would be $2.10 million, and average annual benefits would be $3.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel deepening would allow passage of larger vessels through the harbor at all tides, thus reducing shipping delays. The harbor modification would make Savannah Harbor more attractive for shipping interests and others, thus bringing in more business for Savannah, Chatham County, and Georgia. The deposition of new work in existing disposal areas would extend their lifetime capacities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal of dredged material as proposed would not cause any new adverse environmental impacts, since existing disposal areas and dredging techniques currently being utilized in the harbor would continue to be used. Although dredging might affect the historic wreck of the CSS Georgia, impacts could be mitigated by mapping, recovery, and conservation of the wreckage on the channel bottom and the 100-foot stand-off restrictions to dredging in this area. Benthic communities in the area of channel deepening would be disturbed, especially where the channel has to be widened; most of the benthic population would be lost from the dredging. Minor salinity increases would occur, and new impacts to significant cultural resources could occur from the deepening.

Preparation date: April 9, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMITE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES STUDY, COMITE RIVER BASIN, LOUISIANA. AN - 36404393; 3070 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a flood control project to protect residents and property within the Amite River Basin of Louisiana is proposed. The study area, which is largely covered with forest and agricultural land, encompasses approximately 2,200 square miles in southeastern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi. Urban and other developed land comprise 12 percent of the land use. Major urban centers in the study area include Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary, Gonzales, Sorrento, and Denham Springs. The tentatively selected flood control plan would involve excavation of a 12-mile diversion channel from the Comite River to the Mississippi River and construction of a diversion structure, two stage control structures, and two levees. The diversion channel would begin at mile 19 on the Comite River above its confluence with the Amite River and would run generally west between the cities of Baker and Zachary to the head of the Lilly Bayou Watershed; eight miles of channel excavation would be required, while the remainder of the diversion would use the Lilly and Cooper bayous. A levee would be constructed along the southern bank of the diversion channel from the diversion structure to the diversion channel stage control structure. The Comite River stage control structure and containment levee would create the stages necessary to divert flood flows to the diversion channel. The diversion channel stage control structure would reduce flood velocities within the diversion channel; the structure would be a trapezoidal weir crest. Mitigation features of the plan would consist of planting trees on the cleared land within the levee containment area, planting trees on a portion of the disposal area, and acquisition of lands in an oxbow area of the Amite River between Denham Springs and Port Vincent. Perpetual channel rights-of-way would be acquired on 607 acres along Lilly and Cooper bayous. The plan would include upgrading two gauging stations and the installation of six gauging stations in the basin to assist in flood prediction. The first cost of the project is estimated at $64.1 million, with annual charges of $7.75 million. The benefit-cost ratio for the project is estimated at 1.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Average annual damages to existing developments within the Amite River Basin would decline by 27 percent. In the Comite River Basin, average annual damages would be reduced by 65 percent. Average annual damage reduction in individual subbasins would range from less than 1 percent to more than 90 percent. Average annual benefits redounding from the project as a whole would amount to $10.3 million. The diversion channel would create additional low-grade aquatic habitat. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Flood control structures and flood control, itself, would result in a loss of 435 acres of bottomland hardwood and 29 acres of upland hardwood habitat per year. Construction and excavation activities would result in short-term increases in turbidity and temperature levels in receiving flows, with decreased dissolved oxygen levels near construction sites. Wintering waterfowl would suffer from a loss of 5,450 acre-days of winter flooding of bottomland forests each year. Recreational hunter losses would amount to 294 person-days per year, although these would be mitigated. A total of 30 homes, churches, and businesses would be relocated.

Preparation date: April 9, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BRIGHTON SKI AREA MASTER PLAN, SALT LAKE COUNTY AND WASATCH COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 36393379; 3047 AB - PURPOSE: Amendment of a special use permit is proposed to increase the Brighton Ski Area's capacity and expand its terrain onto adjacent National Forest System and private lands in Salt Lake and Wasatch counties, Utah. The area is located in the Brighton Bowl, 14 miles up State Highway 190 from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake County; it lies at the terminus of the canyon. Base facilities are at the south end of the Brighton Loop Road and within the Brighton Community. Focal issues under consideration include those associated with watershed and water resources; socioeconomic and cultural resources; parking, traffic, and transportation; recreational uses of the area; visual resources; vegetation and wildlife habitat; noise intrusion; and consistency with existing plans and regulations. The applicant's expansion plan would include modification of existing facilities; construction of a mountaintop restaurant, a skier services building, and a base chalet; extension of an existing ski lift; the addition of five new lifts; and construction of new ski trails. The proposal would increase the size of the ski area from 1,034 acres (870.3 acres of National Forest System lands and 163.7 acres of privately owned lands) to 2,027.75 acres (998.55 acres of National Forest System lands and 1,029.2 acres of privately owned lands). The capacity of the resort would be increased from 2,820 to 5,768 skiers at one time. The south end of Brighton Loop Road would be reconfigured and new base area facilities would be added in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The mountaintop restaurant and base chalet would be constructed in Snake Creek Canyon. The developments would proceed in two phases, with the first to be completed within five years and the second within six to seven years. In addition to the No Action Alternative, four modifications of the applicant's proposal are under consideration. These alternatives involve modifications to limit wetland encroachment, limit the proposal to the existing permit area, eliminate skier access from Wasatch County, and/or eliminate terrain and facilities in Wasatch County. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to increasing the capacity of the resort for skiing in general, the proposed expansion would increase the availability of intermediate and expert terrain. The project would provide a permanent boost to the local economy, including increased job rolls and government revenues. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in sedimentation, degrading watershed and fishery values. Water supply needs would increase from 44,000 gallons per day to 51,000 or 66,000 gallons per day, reducing surface water and groundwater flows and increasing runoff. Wetlands would be affected during construction, and some wetland loss could be permanent. Flood hazards in the area could affect the construction period. Hidden Canyon fishery resources could be permanently impaired, although losses would be moderate. Traffic generated by the proposal would significantly affect the local transportation network. Some impact to summer recreational experiences would be expected. Up to 307 acres of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat would be destroyed. Noise levels in the vicinity of the resort could increase significantly.

Preparation date: April 8, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - JOINT MILITARY-CIVILIAN USE OF SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, SAINT CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS. AN - 36411642; 3011 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a civil runway and associated airport facilities adjacent to Scott Air Force Base (AFB) in Saint Clair County, Illinois, is proposed. The project would involve joint civilian /military use of Scott AFB. Projections indicate saturation of airport capacity in the St. Louis area and indicate the need for increased airport service capacity. The new civil runway would extend 10,000 feet at a width of 150 feet. The civil runway would be parallel to the existing military runway at a centerline separation of 7,000 feet. The runways would be joined by a new connecting taxiway that would cross Silver Creek. A passenger terminal, freight-handling facility, taxiways, and ancillary facilities would be built to support the new civil operations. In conjunction with construction of the new runway and terminal facilities, land would be acquired to provide for clear (safety) zones at the ends of the new runway and ensure compatible land use near the new facility. Additional land would be acquired for relocating on-base housing in Cardinal Creek Village to a site west or south of Scott AFB. The project would also include extension of the existing military runway, extension of the existing parallel taxiways, changes in military flight operations, relocation of displaced buildings, construction of new and relocated roads, upgrading of airfield lights and navigational aids, and creation of mitigation areas for wetlands and floodplains. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Joint use of the base would provide additional civil airport capacity for southwestern Illinois. Major towns that would benefit from the increased capacity would include O'Fallon, Shiloh, Lebanon, Mascoutah, Belleville, and Fairview Heights. Spending of $820 million to $900 million (1988 dollars) would provide an immediate and significant economic boost to the local communities. An additional 2000 person-years would be added to the employment pool. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 3,500 acres of land, including nearly 2,000 acres considered prime or important farmland, would be acquired. Less land would be removed from productive cultivation if land were acquired by means other than fee simple acquisition or if some areas were leased for farming after acquisition. One relocation site for base housing would occupy an additional 348 acres, 48 acres of which are prime or important farmland. That site would also be subject to flooding by Ash Creek. The other relocation site would require acquisition of 301 acres, 169 acres of which are prime or important farmland. Lost farm income due to land acquisition would amount to at least $480,000 per year. The Scott North and South schools would be relocated as well. The runway would encroach on the Silver Creek floodplain and increase flooding, as would the connecting taxiway. Wetlands, including important bottomland hardwood forests and riverine habitat would be eliminated, along with associated wildlife habitat. Construction could cause an initial loss of habitat for several state-listed threatened and endangered species and for the federally listed Indiana bat. The additional aircraft activity in the vicinity of Scott AFB would increase visual and auditory disturbance of wildlife. One underground storage tank would have to be closed or removed to make way for extension of the taxiway, and seven potentially hazardous waste sites could be encountered. Traffic generated by civilian use of the airport would result in deterioration of transportation conditions on Illinois Route 4 between the airport access road and Interstate 64.

Preparation date: April 5, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL MASTER PLAN, CLARK COUNTY REGIONAL FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, LAS VEGAS VALLEY, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA. AN - 36408150; 3071 AB - PURPOSE: Construction and operation of flood control facilities in the Las Vegas Valley of Clark County, Nevada are proposed. The study area encompasses 984 square miles in southeastern Nevada and includes portions of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Henderson, and unincorporated portions of Clark County. Flood control facilities would include reinforced concrete pipelines, precast boxes, lined and unlined channels, floodways, dikes and levees, detention and debris basins, and bridges. Under the preferred plan, known as the Detention/Conveyance Alternative, a series of detention basins would be developed to reduce peak flows to levels that would be accepted by the existing downstream conveyance system with little or no major capacity improvements. The general configuration and spatial location of the system would involve a number of large detention basins designed to slow the release of water to a series of interrelated facilities, including lined and unlined channels, reinforced concrete pipelines, conduits, and floodways. A 10-year facilities construction plan has been developed for fiscal years 1988-1989 through 1997-1998. Most of the construction effort would be directed toward construction of lined channels. Eighty channel segments would be constructed, representing an estimated 294,500 linear feet of construction. Eighteen box conduits and 28 box culverts would be built, along with 14 dikes/levees, extending a total length of 78,050 linear feet; most of the latter would be placed around the perimeter of the valley. The 10-year facilities would also include 19 pipeline segments (12,840 linear feet), 13 bridges (1,900 linear feet), and 5 floodways (80,000 linear feet). Miscellaneous facilities include one set of inlet works, one set of outlet works, and two culverts. A total of 21 detention basins and 1 debris basin, covering a total of 1,426 acres, would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The provision of flood protection to one of the fastest growing urban centers in the nation would help prevent loss of life and property during flash flood events in the historical floodplains and alluvial fans. The centralized plan would ensure a concerted, organized approach to flood control where current protection measures are fragmented. Of all the plans under consideration, the preferred plan would provide the greatest potential for multiuse recreational facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in 100.84 miles of construction disturbance for linear facilities, such as channels, pipelines, and dikes/levees, as well as 2.23 square miles of disturbance from construction of detention and debris basins. Structural measures could be subject to seismic activity, soil movement, and strong winds. The presence of caliche soils and shallow groundwater could interfere with routine construction, requiring special construction practices. Structural measures could interfere with mining claims. Flood discharges from the project area could result in downstream flooding. Botanical and other wildlife resources could be affected by construction activities and the existence of facilities. Facilities would constitute topographic alterations and visual disturbances. Archaeological, historical, and Native American resources would be impacted.

AN - 36409248; 3065 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a dam, improvement of levees, and development of associated facilities are proposed to provide flood protection to the American River Watershed in the Sacramento area of California. The American River basin drains approximately 2,100 square miles along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in northern California. The study area for this project includes the lower American River between Folsom Dam and the Sacramento River, the Natomas area of Sacramento, the American River and its tributaries flowing into Folsom Reservoir, and the Sacramento River from the American River upstream to the Fremont Weir. The Yolo Bypass and its immediate tributaries and distributaries are also included in the investigation as areas receiving hydraulic mitigation. Under the tentatively selected plan, an upstream roller-compacted concrete flood control dam would be constructed near the city of Auburn with a reservoir storage capacity of 894,000 acre-feet. Impounded water would reach a maximum elevation of 942 feet above sea level and cover approximately 5,450 acres. From streambed, at elevation 500 feet above sea level, the dam would be 498 feet high and detain floodwaters up to 442 feet deep. The crest of the dam would be 2,700 feet long, while the base would be 400 feet wide, decreasing to 25 feet at the dam crest. Dam construction would require 6.0 million cubic yards of aggregate material, the bulk of which would come from gravel bars located along both sides of the Middle Fork of the American River. Outlet capacity for the dam would be provided by eight five-foot by nine-foot rectangular box sluices, providing a total capacity of 70,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Levee improvements in the Natomas area would also be provided. The 540-foot-long spillway would be located in the center of the dam and have a design capacity of 810,000 cfs. Other project components would include relocation of 2.8 miles of Highway 49, including a bridge crossing the North Fork at river mile 23; improvement of levees along the perimeter of the Natomas Basin and on Dry and Arcade creeks; extension of the Fremont Weir; development of trails and day use facilities; and acquisition and management of 1,500 acres of flood detention area for wildlife and 255 acres in the Fremont Weir area for wildlife mitigation. The estimated first cost of the project is $836.3 million at October 1990 price levels, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.5. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would provide protection to the American River floodplain against the 400-year-frequency flood. Extensive development within the floodplain would be afforded maximum protection against flood flows. Levee improvements would provide flood protection against excessive flows in local streams and drainage systems located east of Natomas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dam and reservoir development and operation would displace 22,600 acres of land in the Auburn area, including 17,500 acres of federal land and 5,100 acres of private land, for which rights would be acquired. Intermittent inundation of the detention basin would disturb terrestrial wildlife habitat, and levee and weir improvements in the Natomas area would displace wildlife habitat permanently. Dam operation would also inundate stream fishery upstream and alert flows delivered to the fishery downstream of the dam.

AN - 36411216; 3067 AB - PURPOSE: Widening of the West Palm Beach Canal (C-51), a component of the Central and Southern Florida (C&SF) Flood Control Project, is proposed. The C&SF Project encompasses all or parts of 16 counties and more than 18,000 square miles of the central and southern portions of the state. The C-51 canal is located in Palm Beach County and extends from the edge of Water Conservation Area 1 (WCA-1) on the west to Lake Worth on the east near the southern limits of the city of West Palm Beach. The drainage area of the basin is approximately 164 square miles. Historically, the basin was an extensive wetland area covered by sawgrass, marshes, cypress forests, and wet prairies typical of the northern Everglades. Drainage, fire, exotic plant invasion, agricultural use, and development have destroyed all but a few remnants of the natural areas. Five alternative plans were considered. They were the No Action Alternative and Structural Plans A, B, C, and D. Structural Plan A, the tentatively selected plan, would include a flow-control spillway at the approximate midpoint of Canal C-51, a 3,840-cubic-foot-per-second pumping station at the western end to pump C-51 water into an 18,360-acre-foot capacity water detention area, and gated culverts that may be opened to allow flow from WCA-1 through a levee (L-40) to C-51. The C-51 canal would be progressively widened from 30 to 70 feet (east to west) and progressively deepened from 1.6 feet above mean sea level (msl) to 6.0 feet below msl along the western third of its length. The canal banks would be built up to berms using dredged materials as the berm source, and a levee (L-85) would be constructed with excess dredged material. 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, dredging of a bypass canal in the uplands south of the spillway site, and discharge of fill material as structural backfill at the spillway site. The two canal plugs would be removed when the spillway work is completed; subsequently, the bypass canal would be filled. The water detention area would store excess flood waters from the 10-year storm event until such time as they could be safely released into the canal and discharged into Lake Worth. If larger storm events are encountered, excess water from the detention area could be spilled into WCA-1. On cessation of the storm event and storage, excess water would be returned to C-51. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $72.2 million. Depending on the amortization rate, the benefit-cost ratio of the project is estimated at 2.1 or 1.04. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damage to urban and agricultural land within the study area would be reduced significantly. Flood reduction would have both economic and public health and quality of life benefits. The water detention area would restore 1,500 acres of formerly drained wetlands. Benefits redounding from the plan would be worth an estimated $8.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee construction would eliminate 1.7 acres of wetlands. Events associated with hurricanes having a 27-year frequency would result in overtopping of the detention area and spilling of water into the WCA-1 perimeter canal. The 1,500 acres dedicated to the detention area would be removed from potential residential development.

Many contaminants have a high affinity for sediments to the water column is related to the interactions occurring at the sediment-water interface. For these reasons sediment processes can have a major impact on water resource projects in both freshwater and estuarine environments. Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is a major contributor to low dissolved oxygen levels in the water column. Dissolved oxygen concentrations and SOD-related processes at the sediment-water interface regulate the movement of reduced chemical species from the sediment surface to the overlying water and dissolved oxygen levels control many other water quality processes. An understanding of SOD processes and their quantification is needed in order to assess the effects of US Army Corps of Engineers projects on sediment-water interactions and ultimately on water quality. The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) is presently developing methods under the Water Quality Research Program (WQRP) to quantify sediment oxygen demand and determine its effect on water quality. A panel discussion was held to examine several alternatives for SOD study approach and design. Discussions focussed on process-related and modeling-related issues, on interactive laboratory and model development, and on the significance of SOD processes and the best means to represent these processes in a model. Based on the panel discussion, a study was designed that includes: use of reservoir or estuary sediment amended with organic matter as a source of energy for SOD processes; use of successive aerobic/anaerobic experimental cycles; and, monitoring various chemical constituents released to the water column as the result of SOD processes. Present research efforts are examining the capabilities of an existing SOD model to predict SOD in freshwater and saline environments. Other ongoing investigations concern the effects of aerobic/anaerobic cycles on the flux of organic and reduced inorganic chemical species released from the sediment to the water column.

Inflow caused by leakage through the spillway structure joints exceeded the design capacity of the sump, and, on occasion, the capacity of the backup pumps. The amount of leakage was progressively increasing. Construction activities to modify the dam aggravated leakage conditions. In addition, the erosional forces of high volume, high velocity water movement through the joint lines and the effects of slightly aggressive water quality caused further damage to the structure. A repair method that appeared to be successful in sealing joint entrances and reducing water movement in the joints was polyurethane and silicone sealants applied to the joint entrances by remote-controlled, underwater methods. The water activated polyurethane sealant bonded to the concrete surfaces and appeared to be a highly effective approach. Inspections in the winter of 1989-90 showed that the joint sealant remained bonded to the concrete surfaces and was still effective. Repair procedures were implemented in the winter of 1989-90 and 1991, at Chief Joseph Dam and have been effective in providing significant face and joint drain outflow reductions. Drain outflow has been reduced to a small fraction of pre-repair outflow. Repairs should be made with sealants specifically designed for this type of application.

In most cases interest has focused on the absorption of oxygen into the water because of the environmental consequences of low or zero dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. The gas transfer process, however, also affects volatile organics or toxics that may be dissolved in the water. Often the amount of gas transfer that would normally occur in several miles of river flow occurs in a much smaller area under the turbulent flow conditions of a hydraulic structures. How much oxygen is absorbed and how much of the volatile is lost, are questions to be answered. Early efforts to measure DO used propane and ethylene as injected tracers. During field and laboratory work using the propane tracer technique, measurable concentrations of methane were detected in water samples. Methane is produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the sediment of rivers and impoundments. Methane, an in-situ gas, could possibly be used as a tracer for gas transfer, and eliminate the problems encountered with a tracer that must be injected into the flow. The methane tracer technique requires that upstream and downstream water samples be collected for subsequent analysis. The samples must be collected to avoid methane loss during the collection process. The only in-field sample handling required is the injection of formaldehyde into the sample to stabilize the biological activity and thereby prevent any potential degradation of the dissolved methane. The loss of methane from upstream to downstream of the absorption efficiency, which are computations easily accomplished on a personal computer. Some situations have already been encountered that currently limit the applicability of the technique. For example, water that contains large amounts of sulfate ions may not contain methane. Other preliminary observations indicate that if air is entrained in a plunging flow and subsequently transported into a stilling basin, oxygen transfer will be slightly enhanced compared to the methane transfer.

Emphasis is placed on exploration of basic concepts concerning, and factors influencing, sediment contaminant bioaccumulation and bioavailability. The paper presents several numerical methods for assessing bioaccumulation , including a simple method for estimating theoretical bioaccumulation potential (TBP) from sediment chemistry for neutral organic chemicals. Methods are also given for projecting contaminant concentrations in organism tissues when steady-stage is achieved, based on laboratory or field exposures to contaminated sediments. These assessments are presented in the context of the US EPA's tiered testing approach for dredged material evaluation. The various numerical methods for bioaccumulation assessment are illustrated and compared using step-by-step example calculations with hypothetical and actual data.

The stream drains 6.24 sq mi, is only 4.7 mi long, and drops 1 ,050 ft to the head of a concrete flume. Glen Brook enters the flume and abruptly turns left along the base of a mountain as it enters the village and terminates 2,200 ft downstream in Keuka Lake. Shortly after the 1935 flood, the Corps of Engineers designed a concrete gravity wall flume for the Works Progress Administration. Construction started in October of 1935 and was completed in 1936. The design was based upon an arbitrarily selected design discharge of 5,000 cu ft/sec (cfs). The width of the flume varied from 24 to 32 ft, with a depth between 6 to 8 ft. The 2,200-ft-long flume had an 80 ft drop in elevation an terminated at Keuka Lake and probably conveys super-critical flow at all flow rates. Glen Brook annually produces several hundred cubic yards of gravel which moves by high velocity flow and erodes the floor of the flume. In 1950, the State sponsored some repairs through the Buffalo District Corps of Engineers by patching the floor and constructing a low flow channel. The State has been responsible for maintenance since 1950, and in 1986/87 contracted to repair the flume by: proposing toe extend the flume 200 ft upstream and expand the entrance from 32 ft to 85 ft; protecting the flume with a 6-1/2 ft high weir across the entrance; replacing the upper 650 ft of the old structure; proposing to remove all deteriorated concrete in the 1,585-ft remaining section of the flume and by overlaying the floor and walls with a minimum of 6-in. of reinforced concrete; replacing the terminus end of the flume and stabilizing it with sheet piling and heavy stone; and including a 6-ft wide low flow channel in the design, to be constructed with a 3 in. overlay of abrasion-resistant silica fume concrete. As of March 1, 1991, approximately 80% of the project was completed. The contractor, engineer and State representatives have worked well together. The final result will be a high quality construction project that should safely convey 500 yr, high velocity flood flows.

Therefore, an understanding of several factors is necessary to accurately describe the fate of a given contaminant in a reservoir system: (1) whether the contaminant remains with the sediment or is desorbed, resulting in negative impacts on reservoir water quality; and (2) what effects the reservoir environment has on major factors responsible for the desorption and/or mobilization of contaminants. Additional factors potentially affecting contaminant fates are sediment suspension and concentration, particle size and composition, aerobic versus anaerobic conditions, organic matter, and sediment transport and deposition. A Cd and Cu adsorption/desorption study was conducted which showed that adsorption kinetics for both metals were biphasic, having a rapid phase that was essentially complete with 2 hr and a slower phase that resulted in higher metal concentrations in solution with increased time of contact. Both adsorption and desorption of PCB 151 occurred rapidly, but an inverse relationship was found between partition coefficient and sediment concentration. PCB adsorption/desorption was extremely limited at low sediment levels, but increased at higher sediment concentration. Following adsorption, PCB 151 becomes tightly bound to sediment, as indicated by the failure to remove additional PCB from sediment after the first desorption cycle. Therefore, long-term desorption will probably not significantly alter initial observations. Flow low to medium sediment concentrations (50 to 500 mg/L), the adsorption/desorption effects for Cd and Cu and for PCB 151 were highly dependent on sediment concentration. Microbial production of dissolved organic matter was not conclusively shown to affect Cu mobilization from reservoir sediments. It was apparent, however, that Cu mobilization occurred immediately upon addition of organic matter. Complexation with organic matter was not established as the responsible mechanism, but not other process accounting for the observed mobilization was evident.

It is equally applicable to other soft, fine-grained deposits. Although originally written for operation on a mainframe computer, the program has been modified to run on an IBM (or compatible) microcomputer with a math processor. It has recently been extensively revised and modified into a more user-friendly version that is referred to as PCDDF89. This report contains a brief description of the mathematical model used in PCDDF89 and an extensive user's guide. PCDDF89 simulates the consolidation and desiccation processes in fine-grained soils using the finite strain theory of consolidation and an empirical desiccation model. Settlement is calculated for each compressible layer within the area, and a cumulative settlement for all dredged fill and compressible foundation layers is determined. Additional layers of dredged fill can be added at any time. A total of 25 types of dredged fill and 25 foundation layers can be analyzed in one simulation. An interactive interface has been developed for PCDDF89. The interactive data input program, INPCDDF, allows users to easily convert existing PCDDF data files to the new multi-material data format of PCDDF89. The interactive program also allows the creation of new data files and editing of existing files.

The purpose of the studies at the CDF was to determine the mobility and potential hazard of contaminants known to be in the dredged material placed at Times Beach by sampling and analyzing various components of the developing ecosystems. The majority of information available is for the upland area, where detailed inventories of colonizing vegetation and soil-dwelling invertebrates have been made. Samples of dredged material, vegetation, and soil dwelling invertebrates, and vertebrates have been collected and heavy metal concentrations measured. The results suggest that the persistent contaminants, particularly cadmium, are concentrating in the leaf litter zone and moving into the detritivorous invertebrates. Highest concentrations of heavy metals were noted in the earthworks. Of the plant and animal species analyzed, earthworms, millipedes, woodlice, and spiders appear to be target organisms for accumulation of heavy metals, and these groups contained higher concentrations of copper and cadmium than the other groups. For comparison with the Times Beach upland area, a reference site at Grand Island, Buffalo, NY, was selected; soil-dwelling invertebrates were collected for analysis. Earthworms collected at Times Beach generally had higher concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Cd compared with earthworms from Grand Island. Higher concentrations of the elements Cu and Cd were present in the millipedes and woodlice, respectively, collected at Times Beach compared with those from Grand Island. Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants in the dredged material were below machine detection limits in the vertebrate top-predators collected in the upland area at the CDF.

Tests were conducted to investigate the relationship between discharge, pool elevation, hydraulic gradient, and air entrainment in the discharge conduit. Tests indicated that air entrainment occurred only when the water surface was below the bottom of the cover plate. This air entrainment could be eliminated by reducing the discharge to below 550 cu ft/sec. Pressure measurement in the structure enabled the computation of losses and indicated no tendency for cavitation for any anticipated flow condition. A 1:40-scale model of the manifold outlet permitted evaluation and documentation of low conditions in the wheel gate structure and manifold. Pressure measurements indicated no tendency for cavitation. Manifold loss coefficients for various discharges were obtained. The distribution of flow exiting the manifold via 45 ports and the magnitude and direction of flow in the primary basin were documented. The models indicated that for any potential flow conditions, satisfactory hydraulic performance should be anticipated.

Bioaccumulation by both worms and clams was observed in all sediments. Apparent preference factor (APF) values showed that steady-state was reached between sediment-bound contaminants and organism lipid pools. The APF values of organisms were close to the theoretical value for both contaminants in all sediments. These results showed that sediment total organic carbon (TOC) in conjunction with octanol-water partition coefficients of nonpolar organic contaminants is a viable approach for predicting bioaccumulation of such compounds by infaunal organisms. Actual concentrations of contaminants in interstitial water were either over-estimated or under-estimated by the relationship between TOC and humic+fulvic acid organic matter fractions and sediment contaminant concentrations. Prediction of interstitial water concentrations was not as successful as use of APFs. The lack of agreement between predicted and actual interstitial water results was due to factors such as the presence of interstitial water contaminants bound to microparticulates and dissolved organic matter and the kind of organic matter in the sediment.

Data are provided for identifying and delineating wetlands from non-wetlands in the Lower Mississippi River Valley, and detailed technical information for constructing and installing equipment to measure soil redox potential and oxygen content is provided. Soil redox potential, oxygen content, water table depth were measured at several soil depths on five transects in Louisiana and Mississippi. These data were compared with soil profile descriptions, hydrologic zonal classification, and the presence of hydric soils to determine the relationships among soil redox conditions and diagnostic wetland indicators. Tree-coating constituents were also measured to determine if plant adaptations are effective indicators of wetland soil conditions. The results indicated that large areas of bottomland hardwood forests in the Lower Mississippi River Valley are not inundated or saturated for long periods during the growing season. There are very wet, almost permanently inundated sites, but those areas that are seasonally inundated are oxidized and aerobic throughout the root zone for most of the growing season. Saturated, anaerobic conditions for as little as 110-15% of the growing season appear sufficient to induce wetland soil characteristics (mottling, gleying, low chroma colors) in the soil profile. These wetland soil characteristics were generally more reliable than the plant root coatings in delineating wetlands.

Thermal cracking is due to the restraint of volume change due to hydration, shrinkage, and creep. The prediction of stresses, strains, and cracking at early times presents special problems because many of the properties of concrete depend on the degree of hydration of the cementitious materials. To better model the time-dependent properties and response of mass concrete, a time-dependent cracking material model was developed for use in a general-purpose heat transfer and structural analysis finite element code. The model includes the effects of time and temperature on compressive strength, elastic modulus, and creep. An interactive strain-driven, stress-modified cracking criterion based on the smeared-crack approach is included. The results from the use of this model are sensitive to the input values of the various material parameters. To accurately simulate time-dependent material behavior, the model requires accurate test data for calibration of the user-defined algebraic functions which govern the material properties. These data are critical for obtaining a meaningful representation of material behavior. Because concrete mixtures for mass concrete construction are site-specific and material-specific, no known database to test data exists which would allow the model user to confidently estimate changes in material properties with time. Therefore, until such an extensive databases of material properties data is developed, mechanical tests must be conducted to develop the information needed to calibrate the creep, shrinkage, and elastic modulus formulations in the model.

Superfund remedial action may involve removing and handling contaminated sediments found in the bay. By agreement with WDOE, the Seattle District requested that a decision making framework be developed for dredged material management that is based on the results of technically sound test protocols. This decision making framework was developed and refined for the management of sediment dredged from Commencement Bay, which is located in southern Puget Sound. The decision making framework considers sediment chemistry, physicochemical nature of disposal site environments, and biological effects of sediment contaminants and compares test results from sediments to be dredged with test results from reference sediments and with established criteria. Test protocols are discussed that consider the physicochemical conditions posed by aquatic (open-water) and confined nearshore (intertidal) and upland disposal environments. Descriptions of the physicochemical conditions at each disposal environment are provided as well as descriptions and citations of the test methods to be conducted. In addition, examples of test results obtained from recent test applications at other Corps dredging projects are discussed. Test results are used to formulate management strategies regarding placement of dredged material in specific physicochemical disposal environments and to determine what treatment and control methods are warranted to disposal of one or more contaminated sediments in an environmentally acceptable manner. The decision making framework is illustrated by applying it to specific sediments from Commencement Bay in the form of case studies at the end of this report.

E. McDonald AN - 19122137; 9202217 AB - Two major applications of silica-fume concrete within the Corps of Engineers were to repair abrasion-erosion damage in the stilling basin at Kinzua Dam and in the concrete lining of the low-flow channel, Los Angeles River. In each case, concrete cracking occurred during the repair. Apparently, this cracking has not significantly affected the performance of the concrete in resisting abrasion-erosion damage. However, such cracking could limit the use of silica-fume concrete in other repair and rehabilitation applications. This study was conducted to determine those properties of silica-fume concrete which might affect cracking and to develop guidance for minimizing cracking problems associated with the use of such concrete in future repair projects. Tests included compressive and tensile splitting strengths, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, ultimate strain capacity, uniaxial creep, shrinkage, coefficient of thermal expansion, adiabatic temperature rise, and abrasion erosion. None of the material properties of silica-fume concrete reported here, with the possible exception of autogenous shrinkage, indicate that this material should be significantly more susceptible to cracking as a result of restrained contraction than conventional concrete. In fact, some material properties, particularly ultimate tensile strain capacity, would indicate that silica-fume concrete should have a reduced potential for cracking. Silica-fume offers potential for improving many properties of concrete. However,the very high compressive strength and resulting increase in abrasion-erosion resistance are particularly beneficial in repair of hydraulic structures. These concretes should be considered in repair of abrasion-erosion susceptible locations, particularly in those areas where locally available aggregate might not otherwise by acceptable. The potential for cracking of restrained concrete overlays, with or without silica-fume, should be recognized. Any variations in concrete materials, mixture proportions, and construction practices that will minimize shrinkage or reduce concrete temperature differentials should be considered. Where structural considerations permit, a bond breaker at the interface between the replacement and existing concrete is recommended.

When used for localized mixing, the pump displaces the hypolimnetic water in the withdrawal zone of a low-level intake with epilimnetic water. When used for lake destratification, the pump moves the surface water downward to mix with the bottom water and eliminate thermal stratification. The pump consists of a frame, flotation platform, motor, gearbox, drive shaft, bearings, and a large-diameter propeller. An example of the design procedure used for destratification of Beech Fork Lake illustrates that through use of these pumps: (1) the epilimnion was increased (the major objective); (2) the pumps were sufficient for destratifying Beech Fork Lake even though a strong thermal-density difference existed prior to the start of pumping; (3) mixing occurred throughout the lake, even though the shape of the lake did not appear to be suited to mixing and pumping was conducted at only one location; and (4) the water in the vicinity of the dam did not become anoxic. Although at times the overall dissolved oxygen was low, only less than 1% of the lake volume became anoxic for a short period.

The sump included three pumps with a total design capacity of 223 cu ft/sec (cfs). Initial operation of the general model with vertical suction intakes indicated substantial swirl in the pump intakes and surface vortices. Various modifications investigated to reduce swirl included evaluating the lower edge of the breast wall, closing access ports, streamlining flow by adding a 2.0-ft radius to the lower edge of the breast wall, installing fillets in the corners of the pump bay, and installing a splitter wall beneath the pump bell. A design was developed that provided satisfactory hydraulic performance except when the trashrack was partially blocked. A formed suction intake (FSI) was also investigated in the general model. Test results indicated that swirl in the pump intake was satisfactory with the FSI even when the trashrack was partially blocked. Tests were conducted in a section model primarily to investigated flow distribution in the pump column and to compare hydraulic performance of the vertical suction and formed suction intakes. Flow distribution in the FSI was satisfactory even with 25% of the trashrack blocked. The vertical suction and formed suction intakes were similar from a surface vortex standpoint; however, the FSI was superior based on swirl and flow distribution in the pump intake.

In many cases, however , information on the degree to which either naturally occurring or dredging-induced environmental alterations directly or indirectly affect organisms is poorly quantified, in which case restrictions are based upon a 'reason to believe' notion. This report addresses the general acceptability of seasonal restrictions through a compilation of available information on physical-chemical environmental alterations associated with dredging and disposal operations, and critical information regarding the effects of these alterations on principal biological resources. Based on this information, a method for evaluating existing or proposed seasonal restrictions on dredging and/or disposal operations is presented. This framework reflects the present understanding of effects of dredging or disposal induced, as well as naturally occurring, environmental alterations upon biological resources. In many cases, the magnitude of dredging or disposal induced alterations falls well within the range of naturally occurring phenomena and imposes little or no additional stress upon resource populations. In some cases, however, the magnitude of alterations may exceed that which occurs naturally, whereby concerns about dredging or disposal induced alterations are justified and should be considered when planning a project. This framework provides a means for Corps personnel to quantify seasonal restriction considerations relative to a project during its environmental assessment phase and to develop an understanding of any potential problem areas that may need to be considered. The framework may be used to challenge restrictions that are found to be unsupported by available technical information. In addition to placing dredging or disposal induced alterations in perspective, this report presents suggested approaches to encourage interagency coordination and cooperation in dealing with unresolved issues.

Improved sampling and sample preservation procedures are also described. The study included a review of the literature on column leaching studies. Three types of columns were reviewed: (1) soil columns, (b) solid waste columns, and (3) sediment and dredged material columns. The review focused on column design and operating parameters, not data interpretation. The literature review showed that the soil column literature is much more extensive than the column literature for either solid wastes or sediments and dredged material. A wide variety of column designs have been used, but nearly all involve a vertical column with a small diameter-to-length ratio, and percolation of water either upward or downward. Information from selected studies on material used to fabricate columns, column dimensions , hydraulic flux, direction of flow, type of soil, waste, or sediment tested, and chemical(a) applied is tabulated and discussed, including advantages and disadvantages of various column designs. Based on the literature review and recommendations from a workshop held to review sediment, leaching studies, a thin-layer leaching column was designed. The thin-layer column design has a large diameter-to-length ratio (25.4/4 cm) that provides a short travel length and a large cross-sectional flow-through area. The short travel length allows a greater number of pore volumes to be eluted relative to previous designs, while the large cross-sectional flow-through area provides sufficient volume of sample for chemical analysis. The improved design includes upflow model with distribution disks at both the top and bottom of the column. Pore water velocity is controlled to be < 1 E-05 cm/sec using a constant volume pump. Improved sample collection and preservation are incorporated into the column design. However, separate columns for investigating metals and organics are required. For metals, an adaptation of the apparatus commonly used to study the chemistry of soil and sediment suspension under controlled redox potential and pH conditions is attached to the column outlet tube. This system collects and preserves metals continuously by maintaining pH < 2.8 as the sample is eluted.

MEADE AND FORT HOLABIRD, ANNE ARUNDEL AND BALTIMORE COUNTIES, MARYLAND. AN - 36402548; 3012 AB - PURPOSE: Realignment and partial closure of Fort George G. Meade in Anne Arundel County and Fort Holabird in Baltimore, Maryland are proposed. Fort Meade is a 13,670-acre Army installation, and Fort Holabird is a 14-acre Army installation. Under the realignment and partial closure action, activities of the Criminal Investigation Command (CIDC) would be consolidated at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and excess military property would be disposed. Approximately 9,000 acres of Fort Meade would be closed; however, this environmental impact statement (EIS) does not address the 7,600 acres of that total that would be transferred to the Department of the Interior by the fiscal year (FY) 1991 Military Construction Appropriations Act, which would be added to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. This EIS addresses the remaining 1,400-acre parcel at Fort Meade that would be closed and excessed, partial closure of Fort Holabird, and realignment of CIDC functions to Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The 1,400-acre parcel to be excessed at Fort Meade consists of woodlands, wetlands, and the 400-acre Tipton Army Airfield. The U.S. Army Reserve aviation facilities and the fire station on Tipton Army Airfield would be leased back from the new owner if the airfield were to continue to be used as an active airfield after disposal. Approximately six acres of Fort Holabird would be closed and excessed; this land contains three warehouses and a parking lot. In addition to the two land parcels to be closed and excessed and realignment of CIDC functions, this EIS addresses the unexploded ordnance survey of the 1,400-acre parcel and the relocation of the ammunition supply mission at Fort Meade to Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia and Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. All parcels to be excessed would be cleared of toxic and hazardous materials as appropriate for the proposed reuse of parcels; surveyed for significant cultural resources; evaluated for the effect the proposed reuse would have on any threatened or endangered species; and excessed in accordance with the proposed reuse as determined via a formal screening process. Clearance of unexploded ordnance would require a 100-percent visual surface survey and 5-percent subsurface survey of the 1,400-acre Fort Meade parcel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Efficiency of CIDC and ammunition supply operations to be realigned would be improved, and CIDC operational costs would be reduced. Disposal of excess military property resulting from the realignments would ensure that the lands are used in an economically and environmentally sound manner. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Minimal vegetation clearance would be required during the unexploded ordnance survey. Partial closure of Fort Holabird could affect up to 69 jobs, all transferred to Fort Belvoir. A total of 62 positions at Fort Meade would be relocated to Fort Belvoir, and 16 positions would be eliminated. In addition, 220 CIDC positions in leased space in Falls Church, Virginia would be realigned to facilities at Fort Belvoir.

Preparation date: March 29, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONUNDRUM MARBLE PROPOSAL, WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST, PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36406351; 3024 AB - PURPOSE: The reopening of an historic marble quarry is proposed within the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area in the White River National Forest in Pitkin County, Colorado. The quarry site, which is located on the west flank of Mount Hayden, just above Conundrum Creek, is a 472-acre tract on which the minerals and timber are privately owned and the surface interests are held by the Federal Government. It lies approximately 1.5 miles inside the present-day Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Area. Marble outcrops occur in several locations in the valley. Marble was quarried from the site until around 1920. The site is located in a scenic and very popular valley in the wilderness, and there is intense public interest in the proposal. Nine alternatives were considered initially. Two were analyzed in detail. Alternative 1 is the No Action Alternative. This alternative is represented by Colorado Conundrum Marble Corporation's mining plan and permit application as submitted to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division (MLRD) on April 26, 1989. On May 19, 1989, the Forest Service requested that certain conditions be included in the permit that would be issued. Certain of these stipulations were incorporated in the provisional MLRD permit, therefore, Forest Service implementation of this alternative would involve taking no further action. The operator would simply conduct its activities within the jurisdictional realms of state, county, and federal agencies with regulatory authority. This alternative would involve operation of a quarry inside the study area for 25 to 50 years. Operations would be conducted within the 9.6-acre permit area defined by the MLRD permit, although other lands would be affected since the marble would be transported out of the valley on the county road/trail. On the exposed marble face, the historic cutting zone would be reopened in the same dimensions as the old bench (approximately 75 feet wide) and would be extended downward to the level of the loading platform (approximately 40 vertical feet). From the bench, cut blocks of marble would be loaded onto a small rail car, winched down to the loading platform and onto a flatbed truck. Marble would be cut using a water-lubricated rock saw. Water to run the saw would be supplied, at five gallons per minute, by a gravity-feed hose laid to a nearby perennial stream. Minor road/trail widening and maintenance activities would be required. Reclamation of the quarry site would proceed according to state requirements. In many respects, Alternative 2 would be much the same as Alternative 1, except that an agreement with a term of five years would be concluded with the Forest Service that would require submission of an annual operating plan and a performance bond. A seasonal operating ""window'' extending from May 15 to November 15 would be established. Other requirements would include removal of all mobile equipment from the site each fall, no enlargement of the loading platform, no construction of settling ponds, resurfacing of the quarry access road, provision of drainage to control erosion, implementation of a Resource Protection Plan to provide additional specifications for reclamation, visual management and monitoring, and no core drilling would be permitted. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Allowing the marble quarrying activity at the site would be in accordance with applicable private property laws and would allow an economically viable use of the site within environmentally acceptable limitations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: In addition to the 9.6-acre permit lands wherein mining would take place, other lands would be disturbed by transportation activities on the county road/trail using an all-wheel drive truck. Marble hauling, in addition to other related traffic, would involve two to four motorized trips into the valley each day. Wilderness values within the area would be degraded significantly due to quarry operations and transportation facilities and activities.

AN - 36404350; 3051 AB - PURPOSE: Upgrading and widening a 1.6-mile segment of College Road in Fairbanks, Alaska is proposed. College Road is a major arterial in Fairbanks providing east-west travel on the north side of town. The project would improve the segment from Aurora Drive to Johansen Expressway. In addition to the No Build and Transportation Systems Management (TSM) alternatives, three build alternatives (with variations) were analyzed for the proposed project. Alternative 1 would widen the roadway to 80 feet without shoulders. Alternative 2A would widen the roadway to 100 feet with rights-of-way acquisition from the north side of College Road. Alternative 2B would widen the roadway to 100 feet following the existing center line (with rights-of-way acquisitions from both sides of College Road). Alternative 2C would widen the road to 100 feet with rights-of-way acquisitions from the south side of College Road. Alternative 3 would provide a one-way couplet system, using the existing College Road through Lemeta for eastbound traffic and developing a 60-foot roadway north of College Road to accommodate westbound traffic. All build alternatives would share a common segment, between Aurora Drive and Danby Street (west end), and would realign College Road's intersection with Margaret and Antoinette streets. In addition, all build alternatives would provide for pedestrian and bicycle traffic and a grade-separated crossing for dog mushing at Isabella Creek. The No Build and TSM alternatives and Alternative 1 have been dropped from consideration. Estimated costs of the project range from $8.9 million to $13.0 million, depending on the alternative chosen. Upgrading of the Margaret-Antoinette intersection alone would cost $400,000 for rights-of-way acquisition and $500,000 for construction. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Widening of the highway and elimination of turning conflicts would reduce traffic accidents and accommodate projected traffic demand through the year 2015. Beneficial impacts would also include increased efficiency in traffic movement, reduced delays, greater capacity and less congestion, a reduction in accidents, upgraded and extended pedestrian and bicycle facilities, lighting and signalization, and reduction of air pollutants in the corridor. Alternative 1 would have resulted in minimal rights-of-way acquisition. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All build alternatives would infringe on parklands. The Creamer's Field Wildlife Migratory Refuge, which is located adjacent to College Road, would be affected; the south side of the refuge would be encroached upon, and the viewing area on College Road would be altered. Alternative 3 would also encroach upon a school playground. The westbound leg of the couplet, proposed under Alternative 3, would parallel the school's southern boundary and require some land from the playground; negative impacts identified with this aspect of Alternative 3 would include having a part of the arterial closer to the school's playground and requiring redesign of the bus turn-around lane. Replacement of the culvert across Isabella Creek would result in displacement of wetlands. Depending on the alternative chosen, 1 to 19 businesses, 5 to 15 residences, and perhaps 1 nonprofit organization would be displaced.

AN - 36406911; 3017 AB - PURPOSE: Continued coal-bed methane development is proposed in the 25,746-acre Divide Creek Unit of Garfield and Mesa counties, Colorado. The unit, which is located approximately 10 miles south of Silt, Colorado, contains land managed by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as well as private lands. Geologically, the unit is located in the Piceance Basin, which contains an estimated 84 trillion cubic feet of coal-bed methane reserves, making the basin the second largest in the nation. Although the unit has been subjected to natural gas development since the late 1930s, development in the past has generally occurred a few wells at a time. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three alternatives were evaluated. Under the proposed action, during 1991 and 1992, Oryx Energy Company proposes to drill and complete 20 coal-bed methane wells, construct a gas treatment facility that would occupy approximately 10 acres on private land, construct two surface discharge stations covering two acres, and construct approximately 23.9 miles of access road and pipeline corridor. Of the 20 wells, 13 would be on National Forest System lands and 7 would be on BLM lands. Oryx's coal-bed methane wells would be drilled into the coal sequence where the actual coal seams range in thickness from 5 to 40 feet. One coal-bed methane well could be completed into more than one coal zone over a distance of 600 to 700 feet. Horizontal drilling would be utilized to extend the pay zone of the Cameo coals. Water production, a by-product of producing coal seams, would peak at approximately 12,000 barrels per day. Water would be treated prior to release, and the discharge would be required to comply with the Colorado Discharge Permit System program. Public Services Company of Colorado would install a 10-mile long, 25-kilovolt powerline to provide power to the proposed gas treatment facility. Most disturbed lands would be reclaimed immediately following initial project implementation activities. The estimated project life is 25 years. POSITIVE IMPACTS: During peak production, the unit would be capable of producing 20 million cubic feet of gas per day for sale, providing a source of fuel gas that would decrease the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy. During peak activities, the project would employ 80 workers. Revenues to the two counties involved would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the project would result in the disturbance of 141.4 acres. Approximately 47.8 acres would be committed to long-term industrial use and would be reclaimed only on project abandonment. Local roads would experience short-term increases in traffic levels. Powerline structures and other structural measures would impact visual aesthetics in the study area. Recreational use of the unit would be degraded. Forest species of vegetation, and associated wildlife habitat, would be displaced.

AN - 36410265; 3064 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Saint Herman Harbor facilities on Kodiak Island, Alaska, is proposed. Kodiak is a fishing and transshipment community located approximately 250 miles southwest of Anchorage. The need for additional moorage for the fishing fleet resulted in a study that culminated in a 1976 final environmental impact statement (EIS) and feasibility report covering the improvement project. The project received congressional funding approval in 1986. The authorized project plan was reevaluated, along with two other structural alternatives and a No Action Alternative. New geotechnical information and findings associated with dredging and disposal resulted in alteration of the 1976 plan. This supplement to the final environmental impact statement of 1976 proposes a new plan based on findings of studies conducted subsequent to the 1976 proposal. The most significant action in the currently proposed plan would involve construction of a rubblemound breakwater between Near Island and Gull Island, with a gap in the structure adjacent to Near Island. The ends of the breakwater at the gap would be offset to minimize wave action in the direction of the inner harbor. The gap in the breakwater could be located anywhere between Near Island and Grass Island, but the wave climate is lowest adjacent to Near Island, indicating that the gap should be located at that end of the structure. The two-section breakwater would extend 1,865 feet, and the gap would be 200 feet long. The north entrance channel would be widened and deepened. A short breakwater would be constructed on the southwest side of this channel to protect the channel and associated mooring facilities from locally generated waves. The mooring basin would cover 90 acres. Nonfederal facilities would include mooring floats located in the Gull-Uski cove, with additional mooring floats extending from Near Island. A bridge could be constructed across the channel between Near Island and Uski Island, with a road extending along the north side of Uski Island to Gull Island. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By improving the existing condition of the Saint Herman Harbor breakwater, long-period ocean swells, which currently roll under the existing floating breakwater causing vessel and facility damage within the harbor, would be remedied. Congestion and the need for hot-berthing and rafting practices would cease due to expansion of the harbor capacity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 0.6 acre of intertidal habitat would be lost due to fill and excavation, and 10 acres of subtidal habitat would be displaced by the breakwater and its pad. Degradation of local water quality, due to harbor operations and decreases in tidal circulation caused by the solid breakwater, could impact juvenile salmonids. A colony of seabirds on Gull Island could be disturbed during construction.

AN - 36408187; 3063 AB - PURPOSE: Alternative methods for disposal of material dredged from the Long Island Sound region of New York are discussed. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement (EIS) of June 1982 provides additional court-ordered information. The final EIS, which addressed designation of a regional open-water disposal site in the western portion of Long Island Sound, was determined inadequate by the Eastern District Court of New York in ""Town of Huntington et al. versus Marsh.'' To correct the specific deficiencies cited by the court, the draft and final supplemental EISs have included discussions of the Ocean Dumping Act criteria and the types, quantities, and cumulative effects of dredged material disposed at the Western Long Island Sound (WLIS) dredged material disposal site. Approximately 140,000 cubic yards of dredged material were disposed at the WLIS site annually from 1982 to part of 1990, for a total volume of 1,231,973 cubic yards. Most of the material was composed of silts and clays, with some sand. The material has been dredged from harbors in western Connecticut and New York. The weighted average of contaminants in the material at the WLIS site is generally similar to the ambient sediments at the disposal site and reference stations. It is expected that dredged material of similar composition would be deposited at the site in the future. Data collected under the Disposal Area Monitoring System (DAMOS) have indicated that the benthic community returns to ambient conditions shortly after disposal of dredged material is completed. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Site designation would allow for dredging of new channels and maintenance of existing channels in the Long Island Sound and its vicinity. Hence, recreational, economic, and defense benefits provided by the waterways would be perpetuated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: General impacts associated with disposal operations would include temporary turbidity in the immediate area of disposal, a short-term reduction in dissolved oxygen levels, and releases of contaminants into the water column. Mixing and dilution by water at the disposal site would reduce these impacts on water quality to a negligible level. The displacement of contaminated harbor sediments could increase the contaminant level of the sediments at the disposal site. Discharge of dredged material would bury a small number of benthic organisms, demersal fish, and lobsters within the immediate discharge area. Cumulative effects of disposal would change the bottom topography and sediment composition at WLIS.

AN - 36393534; 3061 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a marine redevelopment project within the Village of Port Chester, New York is proposed. The 23-acre redevelopment site is located in the Village's central business district. It is bordered generally by North Main Street to the west, the Byram River to the east, Westchester and Purdy avenues to the south, and Willett Avenue to the north. The project would involve redevelopment of designated areas in the Village to provide 165,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and service space; 80,000 square feet of office space; 30,000 square feet of executive park space; a 40,000-square-foot multiscreen cinema; 660 high-rise apartments; 1,887 parking spaces; a waterfront esplanade and park; and preservation and expansion of existing public boating slips in the Byram River. The project would also involve improvements to Westchester Avenue, including realignment of the street, and improvement of Willett Avenue and Adee Street. The project would be implemented in two distinct phases. Phase I would include land acquisition, demolition, and the displacement and relocation of 6 households and 14 businesses; infrastructure, parking, and open space improvements; and construction of commercial facilities in the area from Liberty Square to the Byram River. Phase I activities would also include regrading the site to prevent flooding. Phase II would begin one year after the commercial facilities have been completed and would include development of the high-rise residential structures as well as the multilevel parking garage to serve existing and new uses in the area. It is anticipated that phases I and II would be completed no earlier than 1991 and 1995, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project improvements would strengthen the economic, residential, and commercial potential of the area within the context of broader public access to the waterfront, improved aesthetics, and more efficient traffic circulation and parking. The project would transform an underutilized area into a vital extension of the Village's commercial core, combining office, residential, retail, off-site parking, recreation, and open space uses focused on an accessible and attractive waterfront area. Residences would be provided for 981 persons, and an estimated 780 permanent new jobs would be created. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The redevelopment activities would require relocation of 14 businesses and 6 households. Utilities along Abendroth Avenue, Adee Street, Brick Oven Road (Don Bosco Place), Traverse Avenue, and Townsend Street would have to be relocated as well. Some contaminated soils would be encountered during site development. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36401659; 3053 AB - PURPOSE: Extension of the Interstate 90 (I-90)/I-93 freeway system from its current terminus in Boston, Massachusetts is proposed. The project, which would be known as the Central Artery (I-93)/Third Harbor Tunnel(I-90), would be located entirely in the city of Boston in Suffolk County. This final supplement to the final environmental impact statement of August 1985 describes the proposed action and design modifications to the proposed action currently under consideration, the analyses of alternatives conducted for three major design refinements and for the materials disposal program, and project impacts on parklands and historic and archaeological resources. Several technical appendixes are also included. The proposed action consists of approximately seven miles of new and reconstructed roadways. More specifically, the project would involve: (1) construction of a widened, mostly underground I-93 from just north of its interchange with Route 1 in Charlestown to just south of the Massachusetts Avenue interchange (I-93 is referred to as the Central Artery north of Kneeland Street and as the Southeast Expressway south of Kneeland Street); (2) construction of an I-90 extension via a Seaport Access Road and Third Harbor Tunnel to Logan Airport in East Boston, with a connection to Route 1A; (3) construction of an extended frontage road system parallel to I-93 northbound and southbound from Causeway Street to just past Southampton Street; and (4) construction of a South Boston Bypass Road, most of which would be in an existing railroad rights-of-way, to connect the Southeast Expressway (I-93) directly to the Seaport Access Road (I-90) and the Commonwealth Flats area in South Boston. The I-90 extension would begin at the present terminus of the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) at the Southeast Expressway and proceed eastward, mainly in tunnel, through South Boston, under Boston Harbor, and into Logan Airport. In addition, a much improved and expanded high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) system would be incorporated along I-93 and I-90 to link downtown Boston at Kneeland Street and the proposed South Station Transportation Center with Logan Airport and points south and west of Boston. Construction activities would result in 11.9 million cubic yards (cy) of dredged and excavated material. Project backfill requirements would be partially met by using 2.0 million cy of suitable excavated materials for that purpose. An additional 2.1 million cy of historic fill material would be made available for use as daily cover material at Massachusetts landfills after suitable processing. A total quantity of 2.7 million cy of clay and till would be made available for landfill capping and closure purposes. The proposed action now incorporates the disposal of 1.1 million cy of material excavated from East Boston at Governors Island and 1.1 million cy of acceptable dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. Therefore, the major expansion of Spectacle Island would no longer be necessary and now encompasses only eight acres of fill in waters of Boston Harbor along the east side of the island. On the west side, 1.6 acres of previously flowed tidelands would be restored; 2.7 million cy of historic fill and 300,000 cy of unacceptable dredged material would be used to cap this hazardous landfill and properly prepare Spectacle Island for construction of a public harbor island water-dependent park. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Artery/Tunnel Project would have beneficial impacts in central Boston and its immediate surroundings. The capacity of I-93 would increase substantially and, together with the extension of I-90, the freeway would relieve congestion on local streets and on the freeway system. Air quality within the area would improve. Access to downtown Boston and Logan Airport would improve significantly. Economic benefits redounding to the state, the New England County Metropolitan Area, Suffolk County, and the immediate study area would be substantial. Transportation-related energy consumption associated with automobile use would decline by 15 percent in the year 2010. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Detours and diversions required during construction would increase traffic congestion in some areas. Noise levels would increase at 14 locations by one to four decibels on the A-weighted scale; noise levels would exceed federal standards at some locations. A total of 134 commercial relocations would be required, affecting 4,100 employees. Three historic structures, the House of Bianchi, the Old Colony Railroad bridge, and Railroad Tower A, would be directly affected by the project, and three historic districts would suffer encroachment. Some utility relocation would be required. Approximately 8.4 acres of the Fort Point Channel would be filled, and 3,145 square feet of Boston Harbor bottom would be filled near the General Ship dry dock. Other actions would affect 24 square feet of the Lower Charles River bottom and 3,200 square feet of the Millers River. Small wetland areas would also be filled, and floodplain encroachment would occur at two saltwater tidal locations and two freshwater nontidal locations. Four publicly owned parks would be affected.

Flow patterns are computed using a finite element model for two-dimensional, vertically averaged flow. Once the velocity and depth fields are computed, the bed shear stress distribution can be found. If the annual volume and approximate particle size of the inflowing load is known, anticipated depositional locations and quantities can then be estimated. Use of this technique to forecast the temporal development of the deposits by computing the velocity fields for several steady flow conditions is described. The resulting graphical displays of velocity fields and shear stress contours are very useful to the design engineer. This procedure avoids the complexity associated with use of a two-dimensional sediment transport and dispersion model. Application of the technique to the design of a basin 180 feet (55 meters) wide by 620 feet (186 meters) long is described. JF - Technical Papers.

Whether a site is dispersive or nondispersive is a primary issue in a site-designation investigation, and one which must be addressed and defended by the Corps before a site will be approved for use. Approval will remain a difficult and time-consuming process unless the dispersion characteristics of the site have been anticipated and documented. If the Corps could provide a comprehensive dispersion analysis, the site-designation process could be expedited. A generalized procedure for investigating and quantifying the dispersive characteristics of an existing or proposed disposal site is being developed. The approach is based on accessing a database of site-specific wave and current information to drive coupled hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and bathymetry change models. The modified Ackers-White transport relationships are presently used but can be updated or replaced as improved formulations are developed. Long-term numerical simulations based on this concept will provide a realistic prediction of the fate and stability of any disposal site. The procedures for generating wave and tidal elevations and currents have been completed and verified, and the mechanics of completing the computations and creating the database are currently under development. Future effects include a storm surge hydrograph component for investigating storm-related erosion. The database will ultimately provide the user with a means of generating site-specific time series of wave and current conditions for any site location. Two pilot site designation studies were undertaken to test the long-term modeling concept. Prototype wave and current data were used to provide a realistic substitute for the database. An overview of the site designation approach was applied to the New York Bight. Similar applications were made to ocean sites off Miami and Fort Pierce, FL. Conclusions of the pilot studies are that disposal site stability can be quantified with coupled hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and bathymetry change numerical models if the calculations are based on site-specific wave and current data.

Existing definitions of drought have focused on limited hydrologic indicators and are less effective for the purpose of drought monitoring. A study of drought monitoring was undertaken using historical records of streamflow, precipitation, groundwater, temperature, and lake elevation to define drought. Based on the method of truncation, drought durations and conditional probabilities of each indicator were estimated to define the drought severity levels, namely, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 95%. A drought monitoring method was developed by a combination of truncation level, duration, and conditional probabilities of five indicators. The application of truncation level for the drought analysis enables the estimation of drought duration, which is an essential element in determining the drought severity. Using the drought duration for defining its severity allows a daily evaluation of drought condition. For a reservoir operation concerning drought management, the duration of drought plays an important role. Hence, the use of duration in monitoring droughts is a realistic approach. In addition, the introduction of the conditional probability for defining a drought provides the opportunity of examining its changes of severity level. Based on the test results using the 1988 drought in the Scioto River Basin (central Ohio), it was found that the proposed method could effectively monitor drought.

This stratification inhibits the transfer and circulation of oxygen-rich surface waters with the bottom waters. As the summer progresses and the stratification becomes more pronounced, the natural chemical and biological reactions in the bottom waters deplete the dissolved oxygen, leaving the lower layers devoid of oxygen. Under these anoxic conditions many undesirable reactions, such as the resuspension of dissolved iron and manganese, nutrient cycling, and hydrogen sulfide gas production, are possible. One way to improve reservoir quality is to prevent or reduce thermal stratification through some form of destratification system which continually mixes epilimnetic and hypolimnetic waters. The design that has been the most thoroughly investigated and tested in reservoir applications is destratification by a continuous bubble column. Guidelines for the design, installation, and operation of a linear bubble column diffuser were developed which are based on several factors including temperature profile, lake volume-capacity curve, surface area of the lake, depth of the diffuser, and desired time to destratify the lake. Calculations can be made using a computer spreadsheet, to determine the size of the airflow rate based on the lake's thermal or density stability (the difference between the potential energy of the fully mixed and stratified lake system). Operation of a spreadsheet requires the following information: surface area of the lake; volume-capacity curve; typical temperature profiles; depth of water above the diffuser; time period desired to achieve destratification; internal diameter of the diffuser line; internal diameter of the supply line; and an approximate length of the supply line. The main advantage of using a spreadsheet to make the design and calculations is the ease with which variables and formulas can be changed to observe the effects on the final system configuration. Currently, the spreadsheet uses eight worksheets, linked to one another, to perform all the necessary calculations. This requires an abundance of memory--specifically 300,000 kilobytes.

AN - 16290989; 2813820 AB - Convective descent and passive diffusion of sediments released at the surface of the ocean are affected by variations in density and motion of the ambient sea water, as buoyancy and momentum are exchanged. These effects are difficult to measure directly in field conditions. The Mobile, Alabama, Field Data Collection Project (MFDCP) monitored through a variety of means the short-term fate of dredged material discharged in open coastal waters. Water property profiles were measured concurrently with profiles of water velocity and light transmission. Suspended sediment concentrations and size gradations were derived from intermittent samples. Finer fractions of the dredged material appear to have been sorted from coarser fractions by this stratification and current shear. JF - PROC. MAR. TECHNOL. SOC. CONF. pp. 106-112. 1991.

AN - 36393198; 3002 AB - PURPOSE: Development of a destination resort and a planned residential community on approximately 4,000 acres of land in the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation of Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The reservation is located approximately 125 miles south of Las Vegas and comprises an area of 5,582 acres in Clark County, Nevada; 12,663 acres in San Bernardino County, California; and 23,669 acres in Mohave County, Arizona. The reservation is located in the Mohave Valley and is bordered by the Black, Dead, and Newberry Mountain ranges. The proposed action, two alternatives, and a No Action Alternative for each development are analyzed. Under the preferred action, the Mojave Indian Tribe would lease two sites within this planned community to two separate developers, who would assist the tribe in specific planning, construction, financing, marketing, and management of these sites. The lease sites are located in Clark County, Nevada and San Bernardino County, California. The Movada Group, Inc. proposes to lease approximately 1,000 acres of Indian trust land for a period of approximately 75 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The American Land Development Corporation proposes to lease approximately 1,200 acres of Indian trust land for a period of 90 years under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. The Movada Group would include a Town Center, three hotel/casinos with 2,000 rooms, 2,007 residential units, 30 acres of recreational vehicle spaces, 18-hole and 9-hole executive golf courses and associated facilities, a 75-acre lake, mixed office /retail uses, public facilities, a school, a neighborhood park, and other open spaces. The American Land Development Corporation would develop a residential complex adjacent to the Movada Group development. This development would include 10,280 residential units, an 18-hole golf course with associated facilities, a community park with an open-air amphitheater, neighborhood parks, mixed office/retail uses, and a school. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Development of the land would provide economic, social, and recreational benefits to current and future residents. Extensive economic benefits, including numerous jobs, would be provided to members of the Mojave Tribe, while social and recreational benefits would redound to tribe members and nontribal persons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Consumptive uses would require a total of approximately 7,250 acre-feet of water annually to meet the needs of the project at build-out; this water would be removed from the Colorado River's near-surface aquifer and would not be available for other tribal activities or downstream uses. Approximately 2,200 acres of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat would be affected. Growth in the local population would increase pressure on air quality, transportation facilities, housing, school resources, and other social services. Facilities associated with the development would impinge visually on area aesthetics.

AN - 36401905; 3007 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to provide hurricane protection and beach erosion control for Topsail Island, North Carolina is proposed. Topsail Island is a barrier island located on the central North Carolina coast; it includes the communities of Topsail Beach, Surf City, and West Onslow Beach. The preferred plan would involve placement of a berm and dune extending along approximately 3.6 miles of the oceanfront at Topsail Beach, which is located at the southern end of the island near New Topsail Inlet. This portion of the island coast represents the only section of the 21.7-mile-long shoreline of the island where federal improvements are justified. More specifically, the recommended plan would involve the development of an artificial sand dune, shaped in the form of a 25-foot wide crest with dune constructed to an elevation of 13 feet above mean sea level (MSL), fronted by a storm berm constructed to an elevation of 9 feet above MSL, and a beach berm constructed to an elevation of 7 feet above MSL. The berm and dune project would extend along a reach of 19,200 feet; this length would include 10,250 feet for the main fill, 7,150 feet for a transition fill at the northern end of the project, and 1,800 feet for a transition fill at the southern end of the project. Approximately 4.56 million cubic yards of coarse to medium sand would be removed during initial dredging of Banks Channel, located behind the southern end of Topsail Island, and discharged along the ocean shoreline to Topsail Beach to construct the berm and dune. Material for beachfill construction and nourishment would be obtained from the borrow area, pumped to the beach by pipeline dredge, and shaped by earth moving equipment. Three different pipeline routes would be required at various times during construction. These routes would extend along the rights-of-way of Drum and Crews streets and Haywood Avenue. The pipeline would be burlapped and welded with straps to provide maximum protection against leakage. Biennial maintenance nourishment of the project would require 644,000 cubic yards of material. In the event dune vegetation is lost, affected areas would be restored and replanted to reestablish preproject conditions. The estimated cost of the project is $13.1 million, and annualized costs are estimated at $2.36 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.3. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The principal project accomplishment would be the reduction of hurricane and storm damages to property and lands on the island. The project would also enhance the quality and quantity of the beach strand available for recreational uses. The possibility of an erosive breakthrough in the vicinity of the finger canals and long feeder channel north of the inlet could be avoided by nourishment of the unvegetated beach area and ocean shoreline. The value of average annual benefits would be $2.96 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Topsail Island is known to be a nesting area for the threatened piping plover, green sea turtle, and loggerhead sea turtle, which could be affected by project implementation and maintenance activities. Construction and maintenance activities would be timed, to the extent practicable, to avoid the turtle nesting season. During construction and project maintenance, water turbidity would increase, intertidal and benthic fauna would be destroyed or displaced, and noise and air pollution would increase.

AN - 36401404; 3000 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of approximately 23 miles of US 26/89 from Alpine Junction to Hoback Junction in Wyoming is proposed. Two build alternatives, in addition to the No Action Alternative, are analyzed. The proposed project, which would lie within the Bridger Teton National Forest, would include two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot paved shoulders. The project corridor would extend through portions of Teton and Lincoln counties in northwestern Wyoming. A 22-foot clear safety zone would be incorporated throughout most of the project corridor where no conflicts with steep terrain features or recreational features are encountered. In areas where substantial conflicts exist, the clear safety zone beyond the 8-foot shoulder would be reduced or eliminated and replaced with a traffic hazard barrier, most likely in the form of a guardrail. Gradeline improvements and horizontal curve modifications throughout the highway segment would increase stopping and passing sight distances. Three passing zones, ranging in length from 3,500 to 3,700 feet, would be provided. In addition, fairly major alignment changes at the Blue Trails and Deer Creek landslides would be implemented to minimize safety hazards created by these unstable landforms. Turn lanes and acceleration lanes, as well as judicious placement of guardrails for purposes other than elimination of the clear safety zones, would be provided. Retaining structures on cut and fill slopes would be used in areas of critically steep terrain to minimize the encroachment of fill slopes toward the river and the lengths of cut slopes. Paved scenic turnouts would be provided at the locations specified in an earlier planning document; numerous existing unpaved turnouts with poor sight distances would be eliminated. Highway construction would proceed in five or six phases or projects, with the first phase tentatively scheduled for fiscal year 1993. In the most likely scenario, one phase of the project would be completed each year until reconstruction of the entire 23-mile corridor is completed. The estimated cost of the project is $58.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A narrow, winding roadway with inadequate shoulders and inadequate emergency parking and bicycle safety would be replaced by a safe, modern highway facility. Project improvements would increase safety and capacity levels through a canyon widely recognized for its scenic and recreational resources as well as its economic importance to regional commercial users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the loss of important wildlife habitat, including 13.3 acres of old-growth forest and 6.6 acres of wetlands. Overall, the project would displace 314 acres permanently, including 284 acres of already disturbed land. Under the worst-case scenario, an additional 92 acres would be disturbed during construction activities. With the exception of the loss of nest-screening trees for bald eagles, this loss of habitat would not significantly affect wildlife within the project corridor. Construction could result in the displacement of wildlife. Visual impacts would result from the necessity for extensive cut and fill slopes and retaining structures. Recreational use of the Snake River could be diminished by an increased level of intrusion by the highway on the river corridor. Approximately 950 linear feet of instream river encroachment would occur.

Information about topography, land use, vegetative cover, soil type and credibility are needed in rainfall-runoff modeling, flood damage determination, soil erosion studies, and water quality studies. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed to take advantage of the data handling capability of digital computers for storage and use of geographic information. With a GIS, less averaging is required and greater use of readily available physical data is accomplished. The computer program system, HEC1-ADAPT, combines two existing models. ADAPT is a GIS that was originally developed by W.E. Gates and Associates to aid in sewer design. HEC-1 is a rainfall-runoff model that was developed at the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the Corps of Engineers. These two modeling systems are linked together to provide a GIS-based watershed-runoff capability. This report describes the testing of the HEC1-ADAPT system for rainfall-runoff modeling.

AN - 36405330; 2977 AB - PURPOSE: Designation of the Stellwagen Bank and surrounding waters offshore of Provincetown, Massachusetts as a national marine sanctuary is proposed. The sanctuary would consist of federal waters within a 453-square-nautical-mile area, extending 19 miles with a breadth of 6 miles at its widest point and lying approximately 6 miles northwest of Provincetown. The Stellwagen Bank is located in the extreme southwestern Gulf of Maine, which is formed by the bight of the northwest Atlantic coastline between Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. Between Cape Ann and Cape Cod, in the southwest corner of the gulf, is Massachusetts Bay, 75 percent enclosed by land. The bay's most prominent submarine feature is Stellwagen Bank, which lies at the bay's eastern edge and partially blocks its mouth. The bank is a shallow, glacially deposited, primarily sandy-submerged feature, measuring nearly 20 miles in length. Water depths around the bank range from 65 feet to more than 300 feet. The resource protection plan for the sanctuary would involve cooperation with other agencies and organizations in formulating policies and procedures, including those related to enforcement of regulations affecting uses of the bank's resources. Sanctuary regulations would prohibit the following within the sanctuary: (1) discharge or disposal of materials or substances; (2) exploration, development, or production of industrial materials (e.g., sand and gravel); (3) any alteration of the seabed; (4) the installation of pipelines or cables; (5) removal or alteration of or damage to (as well as attempt to cause the removal or alteration of or damage to) any historical or cultural resource; and (6) taking of any marine reptile, marine mammal, or seabird, except as permitted by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Additionally, certain activities not currently proposed for regulation would be identified in the designation document as subject to sanctuary regulations if, following designation, the need to regulate was demonstrated as necessary for the protection of the sanctuary resources and qualities. Research associated with the designation would include baseline studies, monitoring, and analysis and prediction projects to provide information needed to resolve management issues. Interpretive/educational programs would be directed at improving public awareness of the sanctuary's resources and the need to manage them wisely to ensure their continued viability and abundance. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Preservation of Stellwagen Bank as a national marine sanctuary would provide for a long-term integrated program of resource protection, research, and interpretation/education to assure comprehensive management and protection of the Stellwagen Bank system. Socioeconomic benefits could result from increased awareness of the Stellwagen Bank's ecological value and visitation by the public. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE.

Preparation date: January 31, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DEVELOPMENT OF TILLERY HILL STATE RECREATION AREA, PATOKA LAKE, ORANGE COUNTY, INDIANA. AN - 36405278; 2976 AB - PURPOSE: Construction, operation, and maintenance of recreation facilities comprising a resort complex on Tillery Hill State Recreation Area at Patoka Lake in Orange County, Indiana are proposed by a team of private firms, known as Patoka Partners, acting as a sublessee of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Tillery Hill comprises 1,779 acres and is one of the four main recreational areas at Patoka Lake. With 8,880 acres of water at summer pool, Patoka Lake is the second largest reservoir in Indiana. Covering 26,000 acres, the lake and associated project lands are located in Crawford, Dubois, and Orange counties in the southern portion of the state. The lake is owned and operated by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, water supply, recreation, and water quality control. A No Action Alternative and two action alternatives are under consideration. Alternative 1, the proposal as forwarded by Patoka Partners, would plan for an opening year visitation in the vicinity of 500,000 persons, with visitation increasing to as many as 750,000 persons per year. Predictions also indicate that attendance could range from 300,000 to 400,000 persons annually on the low end. Alternative 1 would include a 200-room hotel that would allow for expansion to provide 150 additional rooms eventually; 45 family villas; a 4,500-seat amphitheater; two 18-hole golf courses; an aerobics and exercise center; two beaches; court game facilities for tennis, raquetball, handball, volleyball, and similar court sports; at least two fishing piers; a 300-slip marina; a number of picnic areas; a family-oriented theme park; and a wild animal park. Alternative 2 would involve construction of a lodge, cabins, marina, boat dock, play areas, stable, equestrian trails, hiking trails, and an 18-hole golf course. It would comprise the level of development currently approved in the Patoka Lake Master Plan. Alternative 3 is the No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recreational facilities would fulfill several aspects of the Corps of Engineers Master Plan for Patoka Lake and would meet a variety of recreational needs identified in plans prepared by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Employment rolls in the three-county area would increase. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the resort could degrade water quality in Patoka Lake. Soil particles would cause the greatest concern during the development phase, while pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer input would be the greatest concern during the operation phase. High visitation levels at Tillery Hill would place additional stress on recreational facilities at Patoka Lake. Hunting opportunities at Tillery Hill would be lost. Much of the natural vegetation, including forest, on the 1,779 acre development would be removed, destroying habitat and decreasing habitat diversity. Vehicle loads on local access routes would increase. Facilities would significantly alter the viewscape of the lake shore.

AN - 36401164; 2954 AB - PURPOSE: Expansion of the Yakima Firing Center (YFC) by acquiring approximately 63,000 acres of land adjacent to the present YFC boundaries in Grant, Kittitas, and Yakima Counties, Washington is proposed. The land includes a northern expansion area, an eastern expansion area, and a river crossing on the east bank of the Columbia River. The YFC military training center is a subinstallation of Fort Lewis, located approximately seven miles north of the city of Yakima. The YFC is used for military training, field maneuvers, and live fire practice by I Corps and subordinate units, primarily the 9th Infantry Division (Motorized) (MTZ), U.S. Army Reserve, and National Guard to improve their military readiness. The YFC also serves the Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and various regional units. The northern expansion area, located entirely in Kittitas County, would extend from the northern YFC boundary to Interstate 90 (I-90) to the north, I-82 to the west, and the Columbia River to the east. Badger Pocket/Kittitas Valley in the northwest corner, and Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park in the northeast would not be included in the expansion area. The eastern expansion area, located in both Kittitas and Yakima counties, is a narrow strip of land between the present eastern boundary of the YFC and the Columbia River. It would include the old Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad rights-of-way. The river crossing site, in Grant County, lies on the east bank of the Columbia River between the river and State Highway 243, north of the Priest Rapids Wildlife Recreation Area. Military use of the proposed expansion lands would include maneuvers by both wheeled and tracked vehicles, foot traffic (maneuvers), overland flights by helicopters and high-performance aircraft, bivouac and staging activities, weapons firing, and river crossing on a year-round basis. No permanent population occupies the present expansion areas, although a number of single-family residences and low-density rural settlements occur adjacent to the areas, the largest of which is the Desert Aire Retirement Community located on the eastern bank of the Columbia River. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the YFC would increase its area by 63,000 acres, adding 62,000 acres of rangeland to the north of the existing YFC, rights-of-way along the eastern boundary, and a river crossing site on the east bank of the Columbia River, opposite the existing YFC. In the interest of national defense, the Army would acquire this land to accommodate the growing operational demands of the YFC and to properly support its combat readiness mission. Expansion of the YFC would also allow the 9th Infantry Division (MTZ), other I Corps components, reserve components, and the National Guard additional flexibility in conducting large-scale military training activities and river crossing exercises. The latter are an integral part of land warfare, and the exercises must be practiced regularly. Acquisition of the eastern expansion area would provide the installation with river access and would facilitate security, fire control, and movement/access along the eastern boundary of the YFC. Acquisition of the Milwaukee Road corridor would provide a relatively level north-south access route on the east border of the YFC and eliminate occasional accidental trespassing on private lands. It would also eliminate the need to acquire ""as required'' training permits, which limit the Army's flexibility in planning and conducting realistic training exercises. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse environmental impacts would affect cultural resources, recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, and quality of life for area residents. Mitigation measures for these impacts are proposed. The Army would control future oil, gas, and mineral exploration in the expansion areas. Increased erosion would result from military maneuvers and vehicular activity. River crossing activities would impact fish migration and rearing and could interfere with future commercial navigation on the mid-Columbia River. Increased troop, vehicular, and air support activities would disturb resident and migratory birds and animals. Weapons firing and aircraft operations would increase noise levels.

Preparation date: January 25, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PROPOSED REOPENING OF THE A-J MINE, JUNEAU, ALASKA. AN - 36410923; 2964 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit to Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. is proposed to allow the reopening of the nonfederally owned A-J Gold Mine within the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska. The underground mine operated from 1893 to 1944, producing 3.52 million ounces of refined gold from 88.5 million tons of rock and ore. At peak production, 12,000 tons of ore were mined daily by 1,000 miners operating on a 363-day/year, three-shift basis. The A-J orebody and overlying surface estate are jointly owned by the City and Borough of Juneau and the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company. The orebody is a tabular deposit that strikes northwest-southeast and dips moderately to steeply northeast away from Juneau under Mt. Roberts and the Silverbow Basin. Under the applicant's proposal, an estimated 106.8 million tons of ore, with an average content of 0.047 ounces of gold per ton, would be mined over a 13-year period. Mine development would require rehabilitation and expansion of the existing underground workings, internal accessways to mine workings and facilities via tunnels, internal shafts, ramps, and raises. Ore would be mined via a process known as stoping under rock fill (SURF), where the solid orebody is drilled and blasted so as to create a large, rectangular cavern or stope. Broken ore would be hauled to an underground mill, where it would be crushed and processed to concentrate the gold. Gold concentrates would be sent to the surface facility for additional processing. A new 14,000-foot (Bradley) adit would be constructed from the Thane surface facility near sea level to intersect the southern part of the orebody near its vertical midpoint. Two offshoots of the Bradley adit also would be constructed for tailings and waste rock disposal. Ore would be crushed and given initial treatment at an undergound mill constructed off the Bradley adit. Grinding and gravity separation operations would take place at this mill. A carbon-in-leach process would be used to separate gold from treated ore. The process plant for flotation, leaching, cyanide destruction, and refining and the assay laboratory, liquid petroleum gas storage and generating facilities, electrical substation, offices, warehouse/shop, dock, diesel fuel storage, sedimentation ponds, diked reagent storage, and related facilities would be located on a 30-acre site on Gastineau Channel near Thane. Waste rock in excess of that needed to construct project facilities and to stabilize disturbed areas would be made available at nominal cost for other construction purposes in the Juneau area. Any remaining waste rock would be placed in Sheep Creek Valley near the Sheep Creek adit. A 345-foot-high dam would be constructed in three phases in Sheep Creek Valley to contain the 84 million cubic yards of neutralized tailings produced during the mining process. Project design would include full reclamation. Capital costs for the project are estimated at $260.6 million. Total expenditures associated with the operation of the mine would be approximately $67.55 million during the 15-year period from startup to shutdown. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 4.732 million ounces of refined gold would be produced by the mining product. At an estimated value of $340 to $400 per ounce, revenue would amount to an estimated $121.150 million. Of that sum, leases and royalties would amount to $41.8 million, or approximately 35 percent. The mine would employ 450 permanent, full-time workers. In addition, an estimated 340 new indirect jobs would be created in the Juneau area. Construction employment would peak at 337 new jobs during the two-year construction period. The county and borough would gain revenue from the proposed reopening of the mine due to sales and property taxes generated by development and operation of the mine. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 4.4 million cubic yards of waste rock and 84.0 million cubic yards of tailings would be generated. An influx of 1,706 persons into the Juneau area would be expected due to the mining project, costing the local government $2.4 million to $4.6 million annually. Approximately 14.7 acres of fill would be placed in Gastineau Channel to construct surface processing facilities. Mining operations would consume 23 megawatts of electrical energy. Thane Road and a portion of the Annex Creek powerline in Sheep Creek Valley would be relocated. Approximately 350 tons of solid chemical, petroleum, and related wastes would be generated by the project. Tailings-related water quality impacts would violate drinking water standards for 33 months and fish and wildlife standards for up to 13.7 years. Flows in Gold Creek would decline somewhat, and in Sheep Creek, flows would decline substantially. A total of 600 acres of upland habitat, including deer and bear habitat, would be lost, and 6.5 acres of wetland, 0.6 acre of wet scrubland, and 2.6 miles of Sheep Creek would be destroyed. Visual and recreational opportunities would be disturbed.

Preparation date: January 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SALINAS VALLEY SEAWATER INTRUSION PROGRAM, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36406309; 3006 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a plan to reduce the rate of seawater intrusion into groundwater in the Castroville/Marina/Fort Ord area of the Salinas Valley in California is proposed. The study area is approximately 70 miles long and extends from Bradley to Monterey Bay. In the southern part of the valley, south of Gonzales, the basin is a relatively homogeneous, unconfined aquifer. In the northern part of the valley, the groundwater basin is divided by three distinct clay layers, separating the basin into three aquifers: the 180-foot aquifer, the 400-foot aquifer, and the deep aquifer. Valley groundwater is recharged via the bed of the Salinas River, the deep percolation of rainfall and irrigation water, and underground flow from the surrounding foothills. Of the 25 alternatives originally considered, 5 were selected for detailed evaluation: Alternative 1 (No Project), Alternative 2 (Water Supply Project Without Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 3 (Proposed Water Supply Project with Reclaimed Wastewater), Alternative 4 (Arroyo Seco Project), and Alternative 5 (Extraction Barrier). Alternative 3, the plan sponsored by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, would entail capping groundwater wells in the areas affected by seawater intrusion, drilling new wells upgradient to supply water to the city of Marina and Fort Ord, and diverting Salinas River flows and reclaiming wastewater to supply water to the Castroville irrigation system. An irrigation distribution system would provide surface water deliveries to approximately 12,000 net irrigated acres in the Castroville area, while a dispersed well system and transmission pipeline would serve the Marina/Fort Ord areas. Changes in the operation of the San Antonio and Nacimiento dams and the Salinas River would yield an additional 22,000 acre-feet of water for the Castroville service area. Remaining demand would be served from Salinas River and tributary natural flows and standby wells within the service area. A diversion structure and pump station on the Salinas River downstream of Blanco Road would supply water to a proposed distribution system serving nonproject on-farm irrigation systems. Approximately 62 percent of the water supply for agricultural irrigation needs would come from reclaimed wastewater. A 29.6-million-gallon-per-day tertiary treatment plant would be constructed, along with a pressure-regulating pond and discharge piping facilities, to connect with the Castroville distribution system. Delivery of reclaimed wastewater on an irrigation demand schedule would permit approximately 19,000 acre-feet to be used annually, which would decrease the demand for water from supplemental wells during dry years and from the upstream reservoirs during all years. Twelve supplemental wells would be dug to satisfy agricultural demands during dry periods. From September 15 through April 15, all Castroville irrigation systems would be supplied via reclaimed water. A well system, initially consisting of 8 wells and increasing to 12 wells, would be developed along the Salinas River between the city of Spreckels and Somavia Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Saltwater intrusion into the study area would decline by more than 50 percent, providing for long-term water supply to meet demands for municipal and agricultural interests. Provision of a safe, adequate water supply would allow continuation of irrigated farming and municipal development, prevent a decline in agricultural productivity and land values and an escalation of water costs, preclude legal disputes over water rights, and prevent degradation of water supplies for the city of Salinas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fishery production associated with the Nacimiento and San Antonio reservoirs would decline by 10 percent. Juvenile steelhead trout could be entrained at the Salinas River diversion structure. Month-to-month flow variation would increase in the Nacimiento River from August through November, affecting resident fish species, planted rainbow trout, and rearing steelhead trout. Facilities would displace 4.9 acres of riparian scrub, 17.2 acres of freshwater marsh, and 9.6 acres of riparian forest. Foraging habitat for bald eagles would decline by 14 percent and three perch trees would be lost. Prey species habitat would be reduced by one percent. Recreational opportunities associated with these resources would also be lost. The project would induce growth in Marina at the Armstrong Ranch project. The project would be affected by erodible soils, high shrink-swell capacity of soils, and active geologic faults. Cultural resources along the unsurveyed portion of the Castroville irrigation system could be affected.

Preparation date: January 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR B (US 23), STATE ROUTES 81 AND 36, FROM SAMS GAP AT THE NORTH CAROLINA/TENNESSEE STATE LINE TO ERWIN BYPASS, UNICOI COUNTY, TENNESSEE. AN - 36405733; 2996 AB - PURPOSE: Improvement of approximately 15 miles of US 23 in Unicoi County, Tennessee is proposed. The project segment, which is designated as APD sections B1 to B3 of Appalachian Corridor B, would begin at the North Carolina-Tennessee state line at Sams Gap and extend to the end of the four-lane section of the Erwin Bypass at Riverview in Unicoi County. This transportation corridor is currently served by State Route (SR) 81 and SR 36 (US 23), which is the only north-south transportation facility in the area. The preferred alignment would be on a new location to the east of existing SR 81 and would generally parallel it from Sams Gap to Ernestville. At Ernestville, the alignment would cross existing SR 81 and follow a new location to the west of and approximately parallel to existing SR 26 and SR 81 (US 23) until connecting to the four-lane section of the Erwin Bypass. The project would construct a four-lane highway consisting of two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a median. Median type and width would vary over the length of the project as a function of terrain. Two median sections are proposed: specifically, a 16-foot median with a center-line barrier in areas of rugged terrain, and a 48-foot depressed median in the moderate terrain of the South Indian Creek Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacement of the existing highway, which is characterized by extremely substandard horizontal alignment, with a modern, safe highway would improve local, regional, and interstate accessibility and traffic service. System continuity along US 23 would improve significantly, and the opportunity for economic development and growth in Unicoi County would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 1,146 acres of land, including undeveloped forestland, cultivated agricultural land, pastureland, and residential land. A total of 119 residences and 4 businesses would be displaced, and 30 acres of agricultural land would be lost. Wildlife habitat would be reduced along the corridor, and noise and air pollutant levels would increase within the corridor. A portion of the Appalachian Trail would be affected by the project.

Preparation date: January 23, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE WESTERN VERMICULITE PROJECT, RAVALLI COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36401316; 2966 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit is proposed to allow development and operation of an open-pit vermiculite mine on a 139-acre site located in the Bitterroot National Forest on ABM Ridge in the St. Clair Creek drainage of the Sapphire Mountains, approximately 11 miles east and slightly north of Hamilton, Montana. A portion of the permit area comprises unreclaimed land disturbed by previous mining activities. Elevations for the mine site and vicinity range from approximately 6,600 to 7,200 feet. Most of the surrounding area is forested. St. Clair Creek is the major drainage, lying approximately 200 feet in elevation below the lower limit of mine disturbance. Focal issues addressed in this document include those associated with wildlife; water quality and sedimentation; groundwater availability, levels, and flow; water use; wetlands; potential health risks related to actinolite fibers; and transportation facilities. Access to the project site would be provided from a Ravalli County highway via a private road and Forest Service roads. The project, a venture of the Stansbury Holdings Corporation conducting business as Western Vermiculite Company, would include an open-pit vermiculite mine, a concentrator, related surface facilities, and a haul road providing access to a host rock waste stockpile located approximately 0.75 mile from the mine site. At the waste stockpile, waste rock, magnetite ore, and host rock would be stockpiled. The mining project would operate annually during a six-month period from May to October, when access to the site would be feasible. Initial construction would occur over one six-month construction season, after all necessary permits and approvals are obtained. The project would then operate for five to eight years. Several potential modifications to Stansbury's proposal that would help mitigate impacts could be incorporated into the project. Potential modifications would include road closures and busing of employees to address wildlife impacts, specific measures to improve roads and control dust and noise, increased control and management of surface water quality, and measures to address potential loss of wetlands due to decreased groundwater flow. In addition, an alternate water use scenario could be implemented that would preclude the need to obtain surface water rights for the project. Regardless of the design of the project, a reclamation plan would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Commercial mining and concentration of vermiculite ore would provide a source of textural materials for paints, insulation, plant growth, and aggregate for certain plaster formulations. The project would employ up to 60 persons in mining and related operations, professional and administrative positions, and concentrate and waste rock haulage work. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 77 acres within the permit area would be disturbed. Major areas of disturbance would include the facility site on ABM Ridge, the waste stockpile, and areas affected by road improvement and new construction of roads. Big game migration, particularly elk, would be affected by mining activities. Water quality within St. Clair Creek would be impacted due to erosion and sedimentation. Shallow groundwater would be encountered by mining activities, which could upset the hydrologic balance in the ABM Ridge project area, potentially dewatering springs and wetlands east and southwest of the project site. Use of water from Prospect Spring, under the applicant's proposal, would result in conflicts with other water rights holders in the Bitterroot Valley. Slight transportation impacts would result from traffic generated by the project.

Preparation date: January 22, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MT. HOOD MEADOWS SKI AREA, MT. HOOD NATIONAL FOREST, HOOD RIVER COUNTY, OREGON. AN - 36393314; 2985 AB - PURPOSE: Implementation of a new master plan for the Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area in Hood River County and the Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon is proposed. The Mt. Hood Ski Area lies on the southeast side of Mt. Hood and occupies 3,136 acres of scattered subalpine meadows, forested slopes, and above-timberline slopes. The site lies 70 miles east of Portland via US 26. The area extends from elevation 4,000 feet at the east boundary near State Highway 35 to elevation 8,100 feet at the west boundary. Seven alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, are considered in this final environmental impact statement. The six development alternatives present different arrangements of base facilities, lift locations, ski runs, and overnight housing, ranging from none to 1,320 units. The Forest Service preferred alternative would provide for use of the ski area by 15,000 persons at one time. Facilities would include 14 lifts, three bases covering a total of 114 acres, 500 overnight units at the Westside base, a mountain restaurant, a Nordic center, a fully accessible skiers building, a maintenance area, an access road, three service roads, and 36.9 acres of parking to provide for 4,607 vehicles. The permit for facility development and use would expand the Hood River Meadows permit area to 3,932 acres, including a 96-acre expansion at the Hood River Meadows and a 700-acre expansion in the White River drainage. Base facilities would include a 3.57-acre expansion of the Main Lodge, a 4.0-acre expansion at Hood River Meadows, and an 88-acre expansion at Westside. A summer use plan would be developed to ensure intensive management of all summer uses within designated areas to reduce and mitigate impacts. Summer uses would include hiking, horseback riding, tennis, swimming, and organized mountain biking. The No Action Alternative is the Environmentally Preferable Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Master plan implementation would prevent deterioration of the present quality of recreational opportunities due to overcrowding, provide high-quality downhill skiing and terrain balance for all levels of skiing proficiency, increase midweek and year-round use of the area so as to optimize operating economics, provide for sound land use and mountain resort design principles, maximize implementation of technological innovation, mitigate weekend traffic congestion problems on Highways 26 and 35, and maintain a reasonable and affordable recreational pricing structure for a broad base of the populace. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increased visitation would raise the risk of fire and traffic congestion. Alpine and critical soils would be particularly affected by construction activities. Summer use would result in soil compaction. Soil disturbances and increased impervious surface areas would increase runoff significantly in the long term. Facility development would displace wetland and riparian habitat, degrade groundwater quality somewhat, and result in the permanent loss of vegetation and associated wildlife habitat. Some facilities would be visible from Gnarl Ridge and the Mt. Hood Wilderness, and these and other areas would be affected by increased visitation. Noise levels within the permit area would increase, and the commercial forestland base would decline. Other recreational activities would be displaced by alpine skiing. The demand for affordable employee housing and other human resources would rise in the area, while the availability of these resources is likely to decline.

Preparation date: January 10, 1991 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DISPOSAL OF DREDGED MATERIAL FROM THE PORT OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY: USE OF SUBAQUEOUS BORROW PITS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 1983). AN - 36385133; 3004 AB - PURPOSE: The use of subaqueous borrow pits for disposal of material dredged from the Port of New York and New Jersey is evaluated. This final document supplements the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) of March 1983 on designation of the Mud Dump Site in the New York Bight as the chief receiver of material dredged from the port. Major findings of the FEIS are reviewed, with specific attention to alternatives identified as feasible for handling potentially contaminated dredged material. The FEIS conclusion indicating the use of subaqueous borrow pits for the disposal of material designated as unsuitable for unrestricted ocean disposal constitutes the main focus of the supplemental FEIS. The supplement incorporates results of recent physical and biological studies designed to update the alternatives that the FEIS considered for disposal of large volumes (350,000 cubic yards per year or 4 million cubic yards per 10 years) of potentially contaminated sediments. In addition to subaqueous borrow pits, the FEIS concluded that shallow ocean disposal with capping, containment facilities, and upland disposal were currently feasible alternatives for the disposal of contaminated dredged materials. Subaqueous borrow pits continue to be the environmentally preferred alternative. Other alternatives considered in the supplemental statement include the use of an existing pit site or excavation of a new pit site. After comparing the use of new and existing pits, the supplement concludes that digging new pits for use might represent a delay in implementation of several years. Consequently, if pit disposal were to be chosen, disposal would involve use of an existing pit for immediate containment of potentially contaminated dredge material and construction of a new pit for future use. Finally, the supplement considers a number of operational and management procedures for site use. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Use of subaqueous borrow pits would ensure the project's long-term ability to isolate contaminants from the water column, minimal impacts to aquatic resources and human health, and immediate availability of such sites and the high probability of success. Designation of disposal sites would allow for continued maintenance and improvement of waterways within the Port of New York and New Jersey, the nation's leading seaport and a major contributor to the national and regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal of dredged material at the shallow water site would result in burial of benthos, destruction of benthic habitat, alteration of the sediment structure, short-term degradation of the local water quality due to turbidity, and possible long-term contamination of site sediment.

Knowledge of the different mechanisms of sediment formation is the key to a better understanding and interpretation of such archives and the past environment. Studies of piston cores (up to 10 m long) have revealed the occurrence of a set of distinct marker beds within the sedimentary record of Lake Lucerne. Formation of marker beds has been triggered by a variety of different environmental processes such as extraordinary floods in the catchment, rock-falls, earthquakes, subaqueous slumps, etc. More than 10 distinct marker beds have been designated and have been correlated throughout the lake basin. They have been dated and used to set up an event stratigraphy of at least the last 1000 years of lake history. Sediments of extraordinary floods of the large tributaries have been distinguished by their different depositional structure from deposits of major lateral or delta front slumps. Turbidites, triggered by extraordinary floods, are characterized by a coarse sand base fining upwards but showing irregular recurrencies into coarser grain sizes before being topped by a pronounced thick clay layer. Grain sizes and thickness of turbidites decrease from proximal to distal positions. Major subaqueous slumps within a lake basin are responsible for the formation of homogenites, which exhibit a coarse sand layer at the base, quickly grading into a thick homogeneous clayey silt layer with a thin clay layer on top of the sequence; grain sizes do not change distinctly from proximal to distal parts; overall thicknesses are largest at distal positions. It might be expected that similar sequences occur in the marine environment, particularly in slope basins of a convergent margin.

These results demonstrate repeatability of seismic signatures in a variety of geologic settings for a waveform with a dominant period of about 1.5 kHz and a half-power bandwidth in excess of 1 kHz. The ability of the sparker to operate in a borehole under hydrostatic heads in excess of 400 m, at lateral ranges in excess of 100 m, and at angular ranges in the vertical plane to 70 degrees is demonstrated.

Construction considerations AN - 25138015; 2001-24-019626 (CE); 0121685 (EN) AB - A properly functioning cover over an uncontrolled landfill which is regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) depends on both a well-engineered cover design and prudent construction practices. This paper focuses on several geosynthetic construction issues which ultimately impact the performance of the final constructed cover. Preparation and placement issues related to subgrade preparation, geosynthetic placement, cover soil placement and test sections are presented. Storage and seaming of the geosynthetics are discussed. Construction quality control and quality assurance programs are emphasized. In addition, relevant design issues pertaining to settlements, interface friction, and rigid-nonrigid connections are discussed. Although these issues apply to all landfills, this paper is based on experience gained from design, review and construction oversight of CERCLA landfill covers by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

The largest water-level increase is adjacent to the river in an area immediately upstream from the structure. Post-construction groundwater gradients in this area indicate that flow is from the river to the aquifer, reversing the preconstruction flow from the aquifer to the river. Differences between preconstruction and post-construction water levels decrease up-valley and with distance from the Red River. Under high-flow conditions, differences between preconstruction and post-construction water levels, in general, are negligible in the vicinity of the structure, but post-construction water levels are approximately 3 ft higher along the Avoyelles/Catahoula Parish line. Comparison of an average post-construction potentiometric surface map based on water levels measured January 1985 through December 1987 with a map based on model-predicted water levels (from a digital flow model in a previous study) indicated reasonably good agreement over most of the area. The results obtained with the model for Lock and Dam 1 indicate that other models presently available may be useful for assessing the potential effects of the construction of locks and dams on groundwater levels.

(Polychaeta: Nereidae) AN - 19152293; 9211397 AB - A test protocol was developed to measure sublethal sediment toxicity using the juvenile life stage of the polychaete, Neanthes. The sublethal endpoints include total biomass and average individual biomass relative to controls following a 20-day exposure period. The Neanthes bioassay has distinct advantages over other available sediment toxicity tests including year-round availability of laboratory-cultured test organisms, use of a relatively simple test protocol, and easily measured sublethal endpoints. Tests conducted in 1988 with sediments collected from three contaminated sites and one relatively uncontaminated site in Puget Sound, Washington, indicate that the biomass endpoints are responsive to changes in sediment quality. A comparison of the test results for the Neanthes bioassay to those obtained with the amphipod Rhepoxynius abronius 10-day acute toxicity test and seven other sediment bioassays commonly used in testing Puget Sound sediments, indicates that the Neanthes bioassay is moderately sensitive relative to available sediment bioassays.

Previous investigations have suggested that crystalline rock in the study area has low permeability and cannot sustain well yields suitable for public supply. However, the reported yield for 406 wells drilled into crystalline rock units in this area ranged from < 1 to about 700 gal/min, and averaged 43 gal/min. The reported flow from 13 springs ranged from 0.5 to 679 gal/min. The yield of 43 wells and flow from five springs was reported to exceed 100 gal/min. Most of the high yielding wells and springs were near contact zones between rocks of contrasting lithologic and weathering properties. The high yielding wells and springs are located in a variety of topographic settings: hillsides, upland draws, and hilltops were most prevalent. Although most wells in the study area are from 101 to 300 ft deep, the highest average yields were obtained from wells 51 to 100 ft deep, and 301 to 500 ft. deep. In 1985, wells and springs supplied about 16 Mgal/d or 37% of the total water withdrawn in the area. Average recharge to the aquifers in the upper Flint River basin, which constitutes 66% of the area, was estimated to be about 575 Mgal/d. Groundwater recharge in this basin ranged from 414 Mgal/d during an average dry year, to 771 Mgal/d during an average wet year. During the severe drought of 1954, the estimated recharge was 70 Mgal/d. Groundwater in the study area generally is suitable for most uses. With the exception of local occurrences of excessive iron, fluoride, and manganese, concentrations of total and/or dissolved constituents generally meets State and Federal drinking water standards. Groundwater quality may be affected by the presence of radionuclides associated with the decay of uranium found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Flow proportional composite samples were taken of the liquid phases and snap samples of the sludges. Organotin compounds were extracted, cleaned-up, derivatized with ethyl magnesium bromide and analysed by capillary gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. No phenyl-, dioctyl- or tricyclohexyl-tins were found. Influent concentrations of MBT, DBT, and TBT were 136-564, 127-1026 and 64-217 ng per litre, respectively, with 81-92 per cent associated with suspended solids. Secondary effluent concentrations were 7-47 ng per litre. Removal was through sedimentation of solids. Concentrations of MBT, DBT and TBT in digested sludges were 0.10-0.97, 0.41-1.24 and 0.28-1.51 ppm on dry matter, respectively. The concentrations in sludge and untreated sewage were environmentally significant. There are 30 references.

The extent and rapidity of changes in the relative abundance and spatial distribution of microbial species in the biofilm with variations in the bulk fluid substrate composition were determined. In a d period, the nitrification rate in the biofilm changed by a factor of five due to a major shift in the microbial population. The distribution of autotrophic and heterotrophic species over the depth of the biofilm was a major factor in determining mixed culture biofilm behaviour.

Seasonal variation and trends were also studied throughout the period 1988-1990 at 2 marinas in Lucerne lake, Switzerland. For the first time, considerable concentrations of triphenyl-, diphenyl- and monophenyltin were found in all compartments. There was a seasonal increase in tributyltin concentrations in late spring, followed by a progressive decrease till winter. Up to 99 per cent of the total aqueous tributyltin occurred in the dissolved phase. Residues of triphenyl- and tributyltin in mussels (Dreissena) ranged up to 3.88 and 9.35 ug per g, respectively. Tributyltin was conserved in sediments for periods of several years. There are 42 references.

The essentially two-dimensional nature of the process, depending on variations in the advective velocity over the river cross-section and the transverse mixing, was not reflected in the application of the one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation, particularly in the initial transport period. An improved one-dimensional model based on a simplified transverse velocity profile, a velocity of zero near the banks and a constant value in the centre of the river was developed. The model yielded a good description of transport for about 80 per cent of the initial transport period.

Water samples were taken 1 m below the surface and 60 cm deep cores of sediments were obtained. Values found in the water column for mono-, di- and tributyltins (MBT, DBT, TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) were 13, 12, 252 and 38 ng per litre, respectively. Butyltins were found to sediment depths of 12 cm and phenyltins to 6 cm. TBT concentrations above 200 ug per kg and TPT of 174 ug per kg were noted. Considerable monophenyltin was detected down to 6 cm but concentrations of MBT and DBT were small. The presence of caesium-134 and caesium-137 from nuclear testing and the Chernobyl accident was used to date sediments. It showed some disturbance of sediments but confirmed that the organotins began to be deposited after the construction of the marina in 1978.

Four 590 m side-by-side inverted the U'-shaped tunnels would be constructed with an average overburden above the tunnels of 66 m. Site investigations and discontinuities studies are described. The geology of the area was suitable for successful tunnelling. No groundwater problems were anticipated. A roadheader tunnelling machine would be used.

The value of this approach, in which the results can be interpreted in terms of specific reaction pathways, is illustrated. Results of analysis at model system level were appropriate for inclusion in deterministic models of environmental redox reactions affecting organic pollutants.

N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-12 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A mathematical model of the manganese cycle in a seasonally anoxic lake AN - 13720081; S199241964 AB - A simple time-dependent 1-dimensional vertical lake model simulated manganese cycling in a seasonally anoxic lake where important controls included the flux of reduced manganese(II) from the sediments, oxidation of manganese(II) and settling of particulate manganese oxide. The chemical parameters consisted of manganese(II), particulate manganese and oxygen, and field data obtained from the lake over a 2-year period were used to validate the model and to determine rate constants for the manganese cycle. Overall agreement between predicted and field depth profiles was acceptable, and optimal rate constants were in general agreement with literature values. The manganese(II) flux from the sediments, which was the most important process for determining manganese(II) profiles, appeared to be highest at the onset of anoxia but then decreased rapidly. Modelling the manganese cycle in a dynamic system was feasible but required accurate determination of the important rate laws and their relationship to the oxygen concentration of lake waters.

Mesophilic (35C) and thermophilic (55-65C) treatment resulted in average reductions of only 40 per cent COD and 25 per cent total suspended solids, and no significant reduction in TBT residues under either aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Sludge residence time (4.5-20 d) had no significant effect on TBT reduction in anaerobic mesophilic chemostats. MBT concentrations after various treatments showed no clear trend, while DBT concentrations were reduced only by aerobic thermophilic treatment. An increase in DBT concentration after anaerobic mesophilic treatment was attributed to leaching from PVC equipment. Poor degradation of TBT in sewage sludge could be explained by sorption onto particulate matter and the abundance of organic nutrients available.
