AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of port facilities at Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) in Coronado, California is proposed so that those facilities could serve as a homeport for three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers is proposed. The Nimitz-class carrier is part of the Navy's new modern fleet of deep-draft ships powered by nuclear energy. As the result of a 1993 directive to close Naval Air Station Alameda, ships that had been home ported there must be transferred to San Diego and ports in the Pacific Northwest. Because of the larger dimensions of the Nimitz-class carrier, deepening of the berthing area, turning basin, and main navigation channel would be required. This draft supplement to the 1999 final EIS, published in January of 2000, focuses primarily on vehicular traffic and likely traffic-related problems in Coronado resulting from the influx of personnel and the extraordinary increase in vehicular activity associated with home porting three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, as well as measures to mitigate these impacts of the increased traffic volumes. For this supplemental EIS (SEIS), the baseline data and impact analyses focus on six environmental resource areas for which new information has been obtained. These six environmental resource areas are ground transportation/circulation of traffic, air pollutant and noise emissions, biological resources, marine water quality, and coastal processes. In addition, the analyses are organized to present three primary issue areas, specifically, traffic and transportation, construction of new infrastructure, and public concerns expressed regarding erosion. The proposed action analyzed in the 1999 final EIS was executed in 204 pursuant to the 2000 record of decision. This SEIS does not propose any changes to the proposed action. However, the SEIS analyses some newly proposed minor infrastructure upgrades. The minor infrastructure improvements would take place Berth LIMA at NASNI. No further dredging would be required. The improvements include the construction of a fendering system, mooring bollards, a aircraft carrier security building and anti-terrorism/force protection improvements, as well as the installation of information systems, electrical and mechanical utility upgrades, paving, drainage, and general site improvements. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered and rejected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region by providing a deeper channel for commercial navigation. The preferred alternative would improve the condition of San Diego beaches and require the cleanup of hazardous waste sites along the shoreline at NASNI. The influx of personnel and their families and additional local spending by the Navy would significantly boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would adversely affect the visual character of the NAS San Diego Historic District. Traffic generated by the home porting of three Nimitz would reduce the level of service at most intersections within the vicinity of the NASNI. Air pollutant levels would increase substantially in an area that is already in violation of federal air quality standards. Noise emissions would also increase substantially, exceeding federal standards at some sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES TO SUPPORT THE HOMEPORTING OF THREE NIMITZ-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS IN SUPPORT OF THE U.S. PACIFIC FLEET (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2000).
AN  - 754904966; 14432
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of port facilities at Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) in Coronado, California is proposed so that those facilities could serve as a homeport for three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers is proposed. The Nimitz-class carrier is part of the Navy's new modern fleet of deep-draft ships powered by nuclear energy. As the result of a 1993 directive to close Naval Air Station Alameda, ships that had been home ported there must be transferred to San Diego and ports in the Pacific Northwest. Because of the larger dimensions of the Nimitz-class carrier, deepening of the berthing area, turning basin, and main navigation channel would be required. This draft supplement to the 1999 final EIS, published in January of 2000, focuses primarily on vehicular traffic and likely traffic-related problems in Coronado resulting from the influx of personnel and the extraordinary increase in vehicular activity associated with home porting three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, as well as measures to mitigate these impacts of the increased traffic volumes. For this supplemental EIS (SEIS), the baseline data and impact analyses focus on six environmental resource areas for which new information has been obtained. These six environmental resource areas are ground transportation/circulation of traffic, air pollutant and noise emissions, biological resources, marine water quality, and coastal processes. In addition, the analyses are organized to present three primary issue areas, specifically, traffic and transportation, construction of new infrastructure, and public concerns expressed regarding erosion. The proposed action analyzed in the 1999 final EIS was executed in 204 pursuant to the 2000 record of decision. This SEIS does not propose any changes to the proposed action. However, the SEIS analyses some newly proposed minor infrastructure upgrades. The minor infrastructure improvements would take place Berth LIMA at NASNI. No further dredging would be required. The improvements include the construction of a fendering system, mooring bollards, a aircraft carrier security building and anti-terrorism/force protection improvements, as well as the installation of information systems, electrical and mechanical utility upgrades, paving, drainage, and general site improvements. In addition to the proposed action, a No Action Alternative is considered and rejected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements in deep-draft navigation would provide economic benefits to the region by providing a deeper channel for commercial navigation. The preferred alternative would improve the condition of San Diego beaches and require the cleanup of hazardous waste sites along the shoreline at NASNI. The influx of personnel and their families and additional local spending by the Navy would significantly boost the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would adversely affect the visual character of the NAS San Diego Historic District. Traffic generated by the home porting of three Nimitz would reduce the level of service at most intersections within the vicinity of the NASNI. Air pollutant levels would increase substantially in an area that is already in violation of federal air quality standards. Noise emissions would also increase substantially, exceeding federal standards at some sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - GRAND PARKWAY (STATE HIGHWAY 99) SEGMENT F-2, FROM SH 249 TO IH 45, HARRIS, MONTGOMERY, LIBERTY, CHAMBERS, GALVESTON, BRAZORIA, AND FORT BEND COUNTIES, TEXAS (REVISION OF THE DRAFT ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 2004).
AN  - 754904649; 14425
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.1-mile section of State Highway 99 (SH 99), part of the Grand Parkway, on a new location from SH 249 to Interstate 45 (I-45), Harris and Chambers counties, Texas is proposed. The study area encompasses the northwest quadrant of a planned 170-mile third loop of SH 99 around Houston, to be known as the Grand Parkway. More specifically, the study area is bounded by SH 249 to the west I-45 to the east, Farm-to-Market 1960 to the south, and the area just behind the proposed Grand Parkway to the north. The conceptual design for the facility would provide for a four-lane, at-grade, controlled access freeway within a 400-foot rights-of-way. The recommended alternative is comprised of a combination of alignments investigated during the study, and was proposed after the evaluation of alternative corridors, alternative transportation modes, and alternative alignments within corridors; the recommended alignment extends 12.o1 miles. Five alignment alternatives, extending from 12 to 16.5 miles, were considered in detail in a May 2006 revision of the February 2004 draft EIS. Estimated cost of the recommended alternative, a combination of previously considered alternatives, is estimated at $437.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would improve access to the existing thoroughfare system, reduce area traffic congestion, improve safety, and improve area-wide mobility. The freeway would reduce the through radial traffic on the current freeway system and would provide a needed transportation service in the study area to help reduce regional and local traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 120 residences, nine businesses, one school property, one church, 2.3 acres of remnant prairie, 60 acres of wetlands, 16.6 acres of 100-year floodplain, 0.4 acre of floodway, 257.6 acres of prime farmland, 113.3 acres of farmland of state-wide importance. The highway would traverse 522 acres of land with a likelihood of containing high value archaeological sites, nine oil and gas well sites, 31 public and two private water wells, and five streams. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 451 sensitive receptor sites. Two hazardous materials sites would be encountered by construction workers. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), North American Free Trade Agreement, Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century, and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - ROUTE 460 LOCATION STUDY, PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - ROUTE 460 LOCATION STUDY, PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 873131553; 14423-4_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement to Route 460 and Route 58 from the interchange of Route 460 and Interstate 295 (I-295) to the interchange of Route 460 and Route 58 along the Suffolk Bypass in Isle of Wight, Prince George, Sussex, Surry, and Southampton counties, as well as within the Isle of Wight and the city of Suffolk, in Virginia is proposed. The study corridor extends 55 miles and is bordered by Route 10 to the north, the city of Hopewell and I-295 to the west, Route 58 to the east, and a line three miles south of the Norfolk Southern rail line to the south. Route 460 is characterized by design and operation deficiencies that cause safety and mobility problems. Crash rates for Route 460 are higher than other rural principal arterial roadways in the state. Truck traffic along the highway is higher than national averages for rural roads with similar functional classifications and are forecast to grow due to expansions at the Port of Virginia. This final EIS considers two alternatives; the No-Build Alternative has been dropped from consideration since the publication of the draft EIS. Alternative CBA 1 would provide for a new alignment south of existing Route 460, beginning along Route 460 in the Kings Fork area of the Suffolk and ending at I-295 and including nine interchanges. The preferred alternative would be similar to CBA 1, except for a shift in alignment in Isle of Wight County; the alignment shift would reduce the number of residential displacements by 14 and the extent of wetland displaced by nine acres. Capital cost estimates for the preferred alternative range from $2.6 billion to $2.6 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing and ameliorating the abovementioned problems, the project would reduce travel delay as traffic volumes increase, provide adequate hurricane evacuation capability for Southside Hampton Roads communities; improve strategic military connectivity on a highway designated as part of the Strategic Highway Network by the Department of Defense and the Federal Highway Administration, and support regional economic development plans. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 515 acres of agriculturally zoned land, 1,173 acres of prime farmland, 20 acres in agricultural and forestal districts, three to 41 acres of commercially and industrially zoned land, 1,182 acres of wetlands and forested land, 44 residences, one community facility, and one business. The cohesion of seven neighborhoods would be compromised. The project would affect 11,752 linear feet of perennial stream and 21,336 linear feet of intermittent streams. The highway would traverse 56 acres of floodplains four regulated floodways. The highway project would affect an undetermined number of archaeological sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 136 residences and one church; 53 sites could benefit from noise control barriers. Up to 35 sites containing hazardous materials could be encountered during construction. The highway would encroach visually on three sensitive areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA.
AN  - 36409138; 13507
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users.

T1  - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. [Part 6 of 7]
T2  - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA.
AN  - 36394647; 13507-080274_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), and Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

T1  - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. [Part 5 of 7]
T2  - LEASE APPLICATION: CALYPSO LNG DEEPWATER PORT, OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA.
AN  - 36385073; 13507-080274_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) in the OCS NG 17-06 (Bahamas) lease area is proposed. The port, to be known as Calypso, lies eight to 10 miles off the east coast of Florida to the northeast of Prot Everglades in water depths of 800 to 950 feet. Calypso would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of approximately three miles. The buoys would be designed to moor and unload a LNG transport and regasification vessel (TRV) with a capacity of up to 140,000 cubic meters of LNG and a storage and regasification ship (SRS) with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters of LNG. In addition the SRS would be designed to berth and unload LNG from conventional LNG carriers. The TRVs and the SRS would be equipped to vaporize LNG cargo to natural gas through an onboard closed loop shell-and-tube vaporization system, and send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The unloading buoys would be connoted to the Calypso pipeline, a pipeline permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, via two 2.5-mile long 30-inch-diameter pipelines located on the seabed. No onshore pipelines of LNG storage facilities would be associated with the proposed deepwater port. Calypso would have an acreage throughput capacity of 1.1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfpd) and a peak delivery capacity of 1.9 bscfpd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of t he high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Approximately 167 million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), and Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)).

T1  - Gene Expression Profiling in Daphnia magna Part I: Concentration-Dependent Profiles Provide Support for the No Observed Transcriptional Effect Level
AN  - 754546784; 13266009
AB  - Ecotoxicogenomic approaches to environmental monitoring provide holistic information, offer insight into modes of action, and help to assess the causal agents and potential toxicity of effluents beyond the traditional end points of death and reproduction. Recent investigations of toxicant exposure indicate dose-dependent changes are a key issue in interpreting genomic studies. Additionally, there is interest in developing methods to integrate gene expression studies in environmental monitoring and regulation, and the No Observed Transcriptional Effect Level (NOTEL) has been proposed as a means for screening effluents and unknown chemicals for toxicity. However, computational methods to determine the NOTEL have yet to be established. Therefore, we examined effects on gene expression in Daphnia magna following exposure to Cu, Cd, and Zn over a range of concentrations including a tolerated, a sublethal, and a nearly acutely toxic concentration. Each concentration produced a distinct gene expression profile. We observed differential expression of a very few genes at tolerated concentrations that were distinct from the expression profiles observed at concentrations associated with toxicity. These results suggest that gene expression analysis may offer a strategy for distinguishing toxic and nontoxic concentrations of metals in the environment and provide support for a NOTEL for metal exposure in D. magna. Mechanistic insights could be inferred from the concentration-dependent gene expression profiles including metal specific effects on disparate metabolic processes such as digestion, immune response, development and reproduction, and less specific stress responses at higher concentrations.

T1  - Gene Expression Profiling in Daphnia magna, Part II: Validation of a Copper Specific Gene Expression Signature with Effluent from Two Copper Mines in California
AN  - 754540961; 13266010
AB  - Genomic technologies show great potential for classifying disease states and toxicological impacts from exposure to chemicals into functional categories. In environmental monitoring, the ability to classify field samples and predict the pollutants present in these samples could contribute to monitoring efforts and the diagnosis of contaminated sites. Using gene expression analysis, we challenged our custom Daphnia magna cDNA microarray to determine the presence of a specific metal toxicant in blinded field samples collected from two copper mines in California. We compared the gene expression profiles from our field samples to previously established expression profiles for Cu, Cd, and Zn. The expression profiles from the Cu-containing field samples clustered with the laboratory-exposed Cu-specific gene expression profiles and included genes previously identified as copper biomarkers, verifying that gene expression analysis can predict environmental exposure to a specific pollutant. In addition, our study revealed that upstream field samples containing undetectable levels of Cu caused the differential expression of only a few genes, lending support for the concept of a no observed transcriptional effect level (NOTEL). If confirmed by further studies, the NOTEL may play an important role in discriminating polluted and nonpolluted sites in future monitoring efforts.

T1  - US HIGHWAY 67--I-40 WEST, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1994).
AN  - 36410957; 13502
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway, built to interstate standards, between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-440 interchange and an interchange at Highway 67/Highway 430 in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is proposed. This final supplement to the final EIS of April 1994. Due to the extended passage of time since the filing of the final EIS while waiting for project funding, which has not yet occurred, a second EIS process was undertaken beginning in January 2007 with the publication of a draft supplemental EIS. 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. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the 12.1-mile highway 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 via five interchanges and several grade separation structures. All seven alignment alternatives share the same alignment of 6.9 miles. The remainder of the preferred alternative would extend 5.8 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-440 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67/167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at six locations within Camp Robinson to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $276 million. 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 significant economic savings and the prevention of hundreds of accidents each year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 26 residential owners, 11 residential tenants, and eight businesses. Five elderly households and three low-income households would be displaced. In addition, the highway would displace 151 acres within a military base, 442 acres of undeveloped agricultural land, 114 acres of prime farmlands, 84 acres of wetlands, and 99 acres of miscellaneous land. The highway would encroach on 13,600 linear feet of special flood hazard area and traverse 22 intermittent and two perennial streams. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway, built to interstate standards, between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-440 interchange and an interchange at Highway 67/Highway 430 in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is proposed. This final supplement to the final EIS of April 1994. Due to the extended passage of time since the filing of the final EIS while waiting for project funding, which has not yet occurred, a second EIS process was undertaken beginning in January 2007 with the publication of a draft supplemental EIS. 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. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative B), the 12.1-mile highway 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 via five interchanges and several grade separation structures. All seven alignment alternatives share the same alignment of 6.9 miles. The remainder of the preferred alternative would extend 5.8 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-440 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67/167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at six locations within Camp Robinson to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $276 million. 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 significant economic savings and the prevention of hundreds of accidents each year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 26 residential owners, 11 residential tenants, and eight businesses. Five elderly households and three low-income households would be displaced. In addition, the highway would displace 151 acres within a military base, 442 acres of undeveloped agricultural land, 114 acres of prime farmlands, 84 acres of wetlands, and 99 acres of miscellaneous land. The highway would encroach on 13,600 linear feet of special flood hazard area and traverse 22 intermittent and two perennial streams. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Hazardous waste sites to be encountered during construction would include five illegal dumps, two landfills, and two underground storage tanks. The project would impact 10 historic buildings, one historic bridge, three historic roads, and seven archaeological sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Utility of lipid biomarkers in support of bioremediation efforts at army sites.
AN  - 70771609; 17714813
AB  - Lipid biomarker analysis has proven valuable in testing the hypothesis that attributes of the extant microbiota can directly reflect the occurrence of contaminant biodegradation. Two past research efforts have demonstrated this utility and are described here. A 4.5 m vertical core was obtained from a diesel fuel oil contamination plume. Core material was assayed for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and bacterial membrane phospholipids (PLFA) via a single solvent extraction. Microbial viable biomass and the relative abundance of Gram-negative bacterial PLFA biomarkers were found to be significantly correlated with TPH concentration. The core TPH profile also revealed two distinct areas where the average TPH level of 3,000 microg g(-1) fell to near detection limits. Both areas were characterized by a three-fold decrease in the hexadecane/pristane ratio, indicating alkane biodegradation, and a distinct PLFA profile that showed a close similarity to the uncontaminated surface soil. Low-order, incomplete detonations can deposit hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) into training range surface soils. Since surface soils are exposed to temporal and diurnal moisture cycles, we investigated the effect two very different soil moisture tensions had on the in situ microbiota and RDX biodegradation. Saturated soils were characterized by rapid RDX biodegradation, 4 day half-life, a decrease in number of species detected and increase in PLFA biomarkers for Gram-negative proteobacteria (n16:1omega7c, n18:1omega9c, and n18:1omega7c) and Gram-positive firmicutes (i15:0 and a15:0). Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) profiles of endpoint microbial communities indicated a shift from 18 to 36% firmicutes, the loss of gamma-proteobacteria and the emergence of alpha-proteobacteria. These two past research efforts demonstrated the utility of the lipid biomarker analysis in identifying microbial community characteristics that were associated with two very different soil contaminants. Lipid biomarkers defined areas of TPH biodegradation and identified community shifts as a result of soil conditions that affected explosives fate. Information like this can be used to enhance the predictive power of ecological models such as the Army Training and Testing Area Carrying Capacity for munitions model [ATTACC].

T1  - Perturbation of gene expression and steroidogenesis with in vitro exposure of fathead minnow ovaries to ketoconazole.
AN  - 69210615; 18423573
AB  - Ketoconazole is a fungicidal drug that inhibits function of cytochrome P450s in the synthesis of steroids. To examine if inhibition of P450 function affects gene expression in a dynamic manner, we conducted in vitro exposures of ovary tissue from fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) to 0.5 microM ketoconazole to investigate effects on steroid production and gene expression over time. Expression of four key steroidogenesis genes was examined at 1, 6, and 12h of exposure. 11 beta- and 20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases were down regulated at 1h and Cytochrome P450 17 was down-regulated at 12h, consistent with the absence of steroid production. In contrast, cytochrome P450 19A was up-regulated at 6h, indicating feedback regulation. Microarray analysis of 12h exposures indicated enrichment of biological processes involved in neurotransmitter secretion, lymphocyte cell activation, sodium ion transport, and embryonic development. These data suggest that, with the exception of cytochrome P450 19A, these steroid metabolic genes are regulated in a feed forward manner and that the effects of ketoconazole may be broader than anticipated based on the mechanism of action alone.

T1  - Multiple oxygen sites in synthetic phyllosilicates with expandable layers; (super 17) O solid-state NMR study
AN  - 50651967; 2008-104138
AB  - Recent advances in high-resolution solid-state NMR enabled us to resolve the previously unknown details of atomic configurations around quadrupolar nuclides such as O ( (super 17) O, spin 5/2) and aluminum ( (super 27) Al, spin 5/2) in phyllosilicates. Here, we report the (super 17) O 1D and 2D NMR (MAS and MQMAS) spectra of synthetic kaolinite-montmorillonite mixtures. Various O sites in the mixtures revealed from O-17 NMR include apical O ( (super VI) Si-O-2 (super IV) Al), multiple basal O atoms ( (super VI) Si-O- (super VI) Si and two (super VI) Si-O (super -VI) Al sites) in tetrahedral layers, and hydroxyl group with distinct ranges for NMR parameters (quadrupolar coupling constant, C (sub q) and isotropic chemical shift, (super 17) O delta (sub iso) ). In particular, the structurally relevant NMR parameters ( (super 17) O delta (sub iso) , C (sub q) , and asymmetry parameter, eta ) for two resolved (super IV) Si-O- (super VI) Al sites are about 52+ or -2 ppm, 2.6+ or -0.2 MHz, and 0.5 for (super IV) Si-O- (super IV) Al (I) and about 44.5+ or -2 ppm, and 3.1+ or -0.2 MHz, and 0.5 for (super IV) Si-O- (super IV) Al (II), respectively. These sites may stem from crystallographically distinct (super IV) Si-O- (super IV) Al sites of varying bond length and (super IV) Si-O- (super VI) Al bond angle or (super IV) Al-O-2 (super VI) Al site in the montmorillonite.

T1  - Approximate Profile for Nonequilibrium Suspended Sediment
AN  - 21006537; 8360528
AB  - The ability to accurately simulate sediment transport processes in natural and engineered systems is crucial to both engineers and scientists. Many researchers have worked on the development of methods that yield reliable predictions of both sediment transport and morphological change with a minimum of computational burden, so that the long prototype time scales necessary to appropriately investigate these processes can be simulated within a reasonable amount of time. This includes the development of tools for approximating the complex behavior of the sediment concentration in the water column. In this technical note, the classic equilibrium sediment profile first introduced by Rouse is revisited. Following the development of the Rouse profile introduced by Einstein, a generalized nonequilibrium sediment concentration profile is generated. The principal assumption is that the convective term of the nonequilibrium vertical sediment flux can be approximated with the relationship that arises from purely convective transport. The method is compared to numerical solutions for depositional profiles, and appears to yield promising results.

T1  - Is Classical Biocontrol Using Fungi a Viable Option for Submersed Aquatic Plant Management?
AN  - 20214678; 8689783
AB  - Three different pathogen biological control strategies, classical, inundative, and augmentative have practical use on invasive weeds in the United States (Charudattan 2001a). Classical biological control involves the introduction of agents into a region that is not part of their natural range to permanently suppress populations of target weeds (Harley and Forno 1992). Inundative biological control involves the development of a bioherbicide delivered at inoculum levels sufficient to bring about control of a target weed (Harley and Forno 1992). Augmentation involves supplementing numbers of a native or naturalized pathogen into a weed population, timed to bring on an epidemic (Charudattan 2001a).

T1  - Efficacy of Fluridone, Penoxsulam, and Bispyribac-sodium on Variable-leaf Milfoil
AN  - 20060487; 8689780
AB  - Variable-leaf milfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michx.) is a native perennial submersed plant ranging from southwestern Quebec and Ontario to North Dakota and southward to New Mexico and Florida (Godfrey and Wooten 1981). It is classified as a species of concern in Kentucky and is endangered in Ohio and Pennsylvania (USDA 2007). In the northeastern United States, however, variable-leaf milfoil is not native and is considered an invasive and weedy species. Variable-leaf milfoil is listed as invasive in states such as Connecticut and Maine, prohibited in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and is a class A noxious weed in Vermont (NH-DES 2007, USDA 2007). As an invasive milfoil, it causes many of the same problems as Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.), including shading out native submersed vegetation and interfering with recreational activities and water supplies (NH-DES 2002, Halstead et al. 2003). Variable-leaf milfoil has been estimated to reduce lakefront property values by as much as 20 to 40 percent in New Hampshire (Hal-stead et al. 2003). Variable-leaf milfoil has been described as an aggressive invader that can grow up to one inch per day under optimal nutrient, temperature, and light conditions and spreads mainly via fragmentation (NH-DES 2002).

T1  - Factors Influencing Reproduction in American Wild Celery: A Synthesis
AN  - 20045662; 8689768
AB  - Dramatic declines in American wild celery (Vallisneria americana Michaux), a native submersed aquatic plant, have been widely reported in the United States since the 1960s, especially from the Midwest to the Northeast. Though methods for restoration are being developed and implemented, progress has been hampered by the need for greater understanding of the species' biological traits and response to environmental change. Here, we review available literature on reproductive ecology of wild celery, focusing on environmental influences on the production and early stages of growth of different propagule types. A background profile of the species describes its ecological importance, field characteristics, taxonomy, life history, and geographical distribution. Critical gaps in present knowledge indicate much has yet to be learned to identify different ecotypes of wild celery based on phenological and genetic distinctions. Further research is also needed to assess potential establishment from seed for consideration as an alternative to (or supplement to) vegetative propagules in restoration strategies.

T1  - Sensitivity of pore-scale dispersion to the construction of random bead packs
AN  - 20017686; 8336221
AB  - Pore-scale simulations of flow and transport offer the possibility of modeling laboratory-scale experiments without averaging the properties of the porous medium. Comparisons between simulation and experiment are complicated, however, by the difficulty of reproducing the exact geometry of the experimental porous medium in a simulation. Flow and dispersion are affected by differences in packing density, random packing variation, inhomogeneities, and confining walls. It is therefore important to understand the magnitude of such effects when comparing simulation and experiment. We quantify the sensitivity of pore-scale simulations of flow and dispersion to variations in packing density, the random packing algorithm, and selective sphere removal for the case of randomly packed spheres. The results allow us to interpret differences in dispersion between pore-scale simulations and NMR spectroscopy measurements in packed cylinders. Dispersion is analyzed in terms of the time-dependent dispersion coefficient and by the propagator function (i.e., the density function of solute mass versus mass propagation distance). The simulation and experimental propagator functions share important qualitative features, and there are no obvious problems such as an incorrect center of mass. However, the simulation underestimates experimental dispersion, and the underestimate is greater than can be explained by possible differences in packing density and random packing between the NMR and simulated sphere packings. An examination of NMR images of the experimental packing reveals regularities in packing structure and raises the possibility that nonrandom ordering could account for the difference in dispersion.

In this study the aqueous solubility (S sub(w)), octanol-water partition coefficient (K sub(o) sub(w)), and Henry's law constant (K sub(H)) were determined for an insensitive munitions (IM) compound, N-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA), at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15K. Effect of ionic strength on solubility, using electrolytes such as NaCl and CaCl sub(2), was also studied. The data on the physicochemical parameters were correlated using the standard Van't Hoff equation. All three properties exhibited a linear relationship with reciprocal temperature. The enthalpy and entropy of phase transfer were derived from the experimental data.

T1  - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999).
AN  - 36413150; 13487
AB  - PURPOSE: The drilling of new natural gas exploration and development wells on a leased 198,034-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) of Sublette County, Wyoming is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschultz Exploration Corporation, BP America Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by U.S. Highway 191 and Wyoming Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, live stock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. There are currently 457 producing wells on 322 well pads in the PAPA. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 295 wells on 26 well pads during 2006. Road miles within the PAPA would increase from 176.5 miles to 182.4 miles by the end of 2006. A total of 4,399 additional wells and the associated gathering pipelines and other ancillary facilities would be developed over the life of the PAPA development plan. Drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the "tight-gas" formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. This final supplement to the October 1999 final EIS analyzes five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicants' proposal. The supplement was required because the long-term plan of the applicants has changed significantly since the October 1999 record of decision that accompanies the final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from wells in the PAPA would generate substantial revenue for Sublette County and for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New developments would disturb 12,2768 acres of soils and vegetation, which would conflict with the goals of the Sublette County Resource Conservation Zoning District and severely degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Project developments would also displace habitat for sage grouse and bald eagle nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be affected by water depletions. Drilling in critical big game winter habitat would occur, though the affected land will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1. Forage capacity for livestock would be lost due to disturbance of soils and vegetation. Possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant impacts, including exposure to benzene. Developments could also affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Noise levels within 2,800 feet of drilling sites would exceed federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377).

T2  - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999).
AN  - 36392777; 13487-080249_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The drilling of new natural gas exploration and development wells on a leased 198,034-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) of Sublette County, Wyoming is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschultz Exploration Corporation, BP America Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by U.S. Highway 191 and Wyoming Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, live stock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. There are currently 457 producing wells on 322 well pads in the PAPA. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 295 wells on 26 well pads during 2006. Road miles within the PAPA would increase from 176.5 miles to 182.4 miles by the end of 2006. A total of 4,399 additional wells and the associated gathering pipelines and other ancillary facilities would be developed over the life of the PAPA development plan. Drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the "tight-gas" formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. This final supplement to the October 1999 final EIS analyzes five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicants' proposal. The supplement was required because the long-term plan of the applicants has changed significantly since the October 1999 record of decision that accompanies the final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from wells in the PAPA would generate substantial revenue for Sublette County and for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New developments would disturb 12,2768 acres of soils and vegetation, which would conflict with the goals of the Sublette County Resource Conservation Zoning District and severely degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Project developments would also displace habitat for sage grouse and bald eagle nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be affected by water depletions. Drilling in critical big game winter habitat would occur, though the affected land will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1. Forage capacity for livestock would be lost due to disturbance of soils and vegetation. Possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant impacts, including exposure to benzene. Developments could also affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Noise levels within 2,800 feet of drilling sites would exceed federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377).

T1  - EAST LYNN LAKE COAL LEASE, WAYNE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36404449; 13480
AB  - PURPOSE: The assessment of two leases-by-application (LBAs) received by the Bureau of Land Management requesting access to federal coal estate underlying nine tracts within the East Lynn Lake Project in southeastern Wayne County, West Virginia is presented. The LBA applicants are Argus Energy WV, LLC and Rockspring Development, Inc. The lake project is operated under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the purposes of flood control, water quality, fish population and habitat management, and recreation. If the leases were approved, the coal would be mined from the Coalburg/Winifrede seam adjacent to the East Lynn Lake reservoir, which lies within the Twelvepole Creek watershed. The seam is part of the Williams Coal Field on the Appalachian Plateau. Rockspring's Camp Creek coal mining complex and Argus' Mine No. 8 and Mine o. 3 lie adjacent to the nine proposed lease tracts and, as existing permitted facilities, will continue to function regardless of the outcome of the LBAs. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to protection of environmental resources such as geologic, water-related, soil, vegetation, cultural, and socioeconomic resources; protection of existing designated uses related to the lake project; and economically viable mining methods. Under the reasonably foreseeable development scenario, granting of the LBAs would result in the removal, by room-and-pillar mining methods, of approximately 76 million in-place tons of coal, providing 26.3 million clean recoverable tons of coal. Under the applicants' proposals, mining would proceed over 10 to 15 years. All disturbed land would be reclaimed following closure of the mines. In addition to granting of the LBAs, the proposed action and preferred alternative, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Granting the leases would extend the mine life of the applicants' existing, adjoining operations, sustain viable rural economics in the vicinity of the lease tracts, and generate coal from federal estate, a traditional source of coal in the United States, to help satisfy the nation's energy needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Aboveground facilities, including the waste rock and overburden pile, access roads, and other mining and transportation infrastructure would displace soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. Surface disturbances would exacerbate erosion and sedimentation within the watershed. Potentially significant levels of acids could leach from the mine and waste rock storage facility, resulting in degradation of downstream water quality and of the associated fish habitat and potential degradation of the groundwater aquifer. Geologic structures would be destroyed, and paleontological resources would be lost. The use of room-and-pillar mining would engender the likelihood of subsidence. Noise, aboveground mining infrastructure, and equipment operating during mining would degrade the recreational experience of visitors to East Lynn Lake. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377), and Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T2  - 408 PERMISSION AND 404 PERMIT TO THREE RIVERS LEVEE IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE FEATHER RIVER LEVEE REPAIR PROJECT, SEGMENT 2, YUBA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36393104; 13496-080263_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The Tree Rivers Levee Improvement Authority (TRLIA) proposes the construction and maintenance of a 5.7-mile setback levee along the Feather River in Yuba County, California. Deficiencies have been identified in the left bank levee related to a history of boils and heavy underseepage resulting from an overly porous substrate under the levee alignment. The substrate consists of discontinuous layers of loose or loose cohesionless soils, including gravels and clean and silty sand found at varying depths of up to 80 feet. The levee slope gradient is too steep. There is a history of distress and levee failure in the Yuba County Feather River area. Three of these failures have been attribute to seepage. The setback levee would be constructed approximately 0.5 mile east of the existing left-bank levee, except where it would turn west to join the existing levee at the north and south ends of the project. All or portions of the existing levee would be removed. The new levee would meet the engineering and design standards of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agencies geotechnical requirements for through-seepage and under-seepage at the water surface elevation for the 200-year flood event. In addition to the TRLIA's preferred plan, outlined above, this draft EIS considers an alternative alignment that would move the levee closer to the river, and an alternative that would involve strengthening the existing levee, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new levee would ensure that levee failure would be highly unlikely, preventing floodwater damage to important farmland, local soils, property, habitat for special status and other species, cultural resource deposits, transportation infrastructure and other public infrastructure. The levee would also protect the Feather River from contamination from spills of hazardous materials and significantly reduce sedimentation of landside drainages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The TRLIA's preferred alternative would displace 290 acres of important farmland, 6.7 acres of wetlands, and paleontological, historic and/or archaeological resource sites. Habitat for nesting raptors and other nesting migratory bird species could be lost during construction, and habitat for special status fish species could also suffer temporary degradation during construction. Construction activities would result in the disturbance of contaminated soils, which could then enter the river. Construction air pollutant and noise emissions would violate government standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36393051; 13468-080230_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The early implementation of improvements to the perimeter levee system within the Natomas Basin in Sutter and Sacramento counties, California is proposed. The 53,000-acre basin extends from the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers northward from the American River and includes portions of the city of Sacramento as well as portions of the two abovementioned counties. In addition to the American and Sacramento rivers on the south and west of the basin, the basin is bordered on the north by Natomas Cross Canal (NCC) and on the east by Pleasant Grove Creek Canal (PGCC) and the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal. The Natomas Basin perimeter levee system was originally created to promote agricultural development within the basin. Flood control has historically been a major concern to agricultural and urban settlers in the Sacramento River basin due to the unique topographical and meteorological factors that make the basin capable of generating very high peak flood discharges. The Natomas Basin is also the site of extensive urban development and the Sacramento International Airport. The basin's remaining agricultural habitat for a number of special wildlife and fish species. Currently proposed improvements would alter the constituent levees such that the system would meet 100-year flood containment criteria developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), design criteria used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the state of Arizona for levees comprising the Common Features Project, and design 200-year water surface elevations developed by the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. In addition to the levee improvements, the plan would include associated landscape and irrigation/drainage infrastructure modifications. The action alternatives address means of achieving early implementation of the project in its entirety, with the 2008 construction phase addressed in detail and the 2009 and 2010 phases addressed at a general, programmatic level. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would include levee raising and seepage remediation along the NCC south levee, the Sacramento River east levee and the PGCC; erosion control throughout the Natomas Basin System; improvements to major irrigation and drainage infrastructure; habitat creation and management, particularly with respect to habitat for giant garter snake and Swainson's hawk; removal of encroachments from a portion of the water and land size of the Sacramento River; modification the State Route 99/70 crossing of the NCC as necessary to meet FEMA requirements; acquisition of rights-of-way through fee title or easement interest within the project footprint, at borrow sites, and within the flood control system. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Any substantial increase in expected annual damaged as new urban development occurred would be minimized or avoided. The flood control projects in the vicinity of the airport would facilitate changes in the management of airport lands that would reduce hazards to aviation safety and use flood control projects to increase the extent of connectivity of lands in Natomas being managed to provide habitat for giant garter snake, Swainson's hawk, and other special-status species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: A large number of mature trees would be removed from the land side of the Sacramento River east levee, degrading visual aesthetics in the area. Under one alternative, removal of a substantial acreage of mature trees from the water side of the Sacramento River levee would add to the significant visual impact and would also result in loss of wildlife corridors, Swainson's hawk nesting, and shaded riverine aquatic habitat; these impacts, however, would not result from the preferred alternative. Transportation of borrow materials would significant increases truck traffic and the associated emission of air pollutants within the local roadway network in Sutter County during project implementation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36387073; 13496-080263_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The Tree Rivers Levee Improvement Authority (TRLIA) proposes the construction and maintenance of a 5.7-mile setback levee along the Feather River in Yuba County, California. Deficiencies have been identified in the left bank levee related to a history of boils and heavy underseepage resulting from an overly porous substrate under the levee alignment. The substrate consists of discontinuous layers of loose or loose cohesionless soils, including gravels and clean and silty sand found at varying depths of up to 80 feet. The levee slope gradient is too steep. There is a history of distress and levee failure in the Yuba County Feather River area. Three of these failures have been attribute to seepage. The setback levee would be constructed approximately 0.5 mile east of the existing left-bank levee, except where it would turn west to join the existing levee at the north and south ends of the project. All or portions of the existing levee would be removed. The new levee would meet the engineering and design standards of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agencies geotechnical requirements for through-seepage and under-seepage at the water surface elevation for the 200-year flood event. In addition to the TRLIA's preferred plan, outlined above, this draft EIS considers an alternative alignment that would move the levee closer to the river, and an alternative that would involve strengthening the existing levee, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new levee would ensure that levee failure would be highly unlikely, preventing floodwater damage to important farmland, local soils, property, habitat for special status and other species, cultural resource deposits, transportation infrastructure and other public infrastructure. The levee would also protect the Feather River from contamination from spills of hazardous materials and significantly reduce sedimentation of landside drainages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The TRLIA's preferred alternative would displace 290 acres of important farmland, 6.7 acres of wetlands, and paleontological, historic and/or archaeological resource sites. Habitat for nesting raptors and other nesting migratory bird species could be lost during construction, and habitat for special status fish species could also suffer temporary degradation during construction. Construction activities would result in the disturbance of contaminated soils, which could then enter the river. Construction air pollutant and noise emissions would violate government standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - 408 PERMISSION AND 404 PERMIT TO THREE RIVERS LEVEE IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE FEATHER RIVER LEVEE REPAIR PROJECT, SEGMENT 2, YUBA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36386993; 13496-080263_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The Tree Rivers Levee Improvement Authority (TRLIA) proposes the construction and maintenance of a 5.7-mile setback levee along the Feather River in Yuba County, California. Deficiencies have been identified in the left bank levee related to a history of boils and heavy underseepage resulting from an overly porous substrate under the levee alignment. The substrate consists of discontinuous layers of loose or loose cohesionless soils, including gravels and clean and silty sand found at varying depths of up to 80 feet. The levee slope gradient is too steep. There is a history of distress and levee failure in the Yuba County Feather River area. Three of these failures have been attribute to seepage. The setback levee would be constructed approximately 0.5 mile east of the existing left-bank levee, except where it would turn west to join the existing levee at the north and south ends of the project. All or portions of the existing levee would be removed. The new levee would meet the engineering and design standards of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agencies geotechnical requirements for through-seepage and under-seepage at the water surface elevation for the 200-year flood event. In addition to the TRLIA's preferred plan, outlined above, this draft EIS considers an alternative alignment that would move the levee closer to the river, and an alternative that would involve strengthening the existing levee, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new levee would ensure that levee failure would be highly unlikely, preventing floodwater damage to important farmland, local soils, property, habitat for special status and other species, cultural resource deposits, transportation infrastructure and other public infrastructure. The levee would also protect the Feather River from contamination from spills of hazardous materials and significantly reduce sedimentation of landside drainages. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The TRLIA's preferred alternative would displace 290 acres of important farmland, 6.7 acres of wetlands, and paleontological, historic and/or archaeological resource sites. Habitat for nesting raptors and other nesting migratory bird species could be lost during construction, and habitat for special status fish species could also suffer temporary degradation during construction. Construction activities would result in the disturbance of contaminated soils, which could then enter the river. Construction air pollutant and noise emissions would violate government standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - Large-Scale Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Restoration in Chesapeake Bay: Status Report, 2003-2006
AN  - 21146688; 9047415
AB  - In 2003, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Chesapeake Bay Office began a comprehensive research effort to restore submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Chesapeake Bay region. The effort employed an agricultural approach to restore under-water grasses by using seeds to produce new plants and mechanical equipment to plant seeds and harvest. Since this research initiative began, an average of 33 acres/yr of SAV has been planted in the Chesapeake Bay, compared to an average rate of 9 acres/yr during the previous 21 years (1983-2003). New techniques and equipment developed as part of this research have introduced the capability to collect and disperse millions of eelgrass seeds. These results demonstrate these programs' success in developing tools and techniques necessary to plant SAV at scales unattainable with technologies existing only a few years ago.

T1  - Potential for Introduction of Invasive Species into Louisiana from Illinois River Dredged Material
AN  - 21144334; 9046979
AB  - Through human and natural activities, land loss in the Louisiana Coastal Area has exceeded 1.2 million acres since the 1930s. Restoration of the region will require new technologies and significant inputs on many fronts. One innovative proposal to aid in restoration efforts has been to transport dredged sediments from the Illinois River to Louisiana for land building and marsh restoration. Of concern in such a project is the potential for transporting invasive species from one state to another via the sediment or the transport vehicles. This report examines the likelihood of invasive species introduction and movement through such a project.

T1  - Evaluation of Potential Impacts of the Lake Maurepas Diversion Project to Gulf and Pallid Sturgeon
AN  - 21136356; 9047438
AB  - The impacts to Gulf and pallid sturgeon from a proposed Mississippi River water diversion into the swamps bordering Lake Maurepas were evaluated. Gulf sturgeon were unlikely to be affected by the diversion due to characteristics of their life history. Adult and subadult pallid sturgeon were relatively abundant in the proposed project area and could be affected by the proposed diversion. A risk assessment was performed. Juvenile pallid sturgeon were judged to have a "low" entrainment risk due to low likelihood of their occurrence in the project area. Risk of entrainment by adults and subadults was judged "medium" due to their relatively low burst swimming speeds compared to intake velocities. Management recommendations were made to reduce or mitigate chance of their entrainment.

T1  - Gulf Sturgeon Movements In and Near the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet
AN  - 21134978; 9047439
AB  - The Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) provides year-round navigation between the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Dredging, which is periodically required to maintain navigation, may impact Gulf sturgeon. Consequently, Gulf sturgeon use of the MRGO and nearby disposal areas was monitored monthly from 2004 through 2006 using telemetry tracking. A total of 50, 40, and 20 Gulf sturgeon were captured yearly by netting in the Pearl and Bogue Chitto Rivers and fitted with transmitters. One tagged Gulf sturgeon was located in the MRGO on 19 January 2005 near marker 96 (29 degree .50.669N 089 degree .37.643W). Starting in June 2006, intensive gill netting of disposal sites was initiated as telemetry monitoring continued. No other Gulf sturgeon were located by telemetry nor were any caught in experimental gill nets near inland disposal sites despite more than 10,600 net meter hours of effort expended in 2006. This study thus suggests that Gulf sturgeon infrequently use the MRGO and nearby disposal areas.

T1  - Complex permittivity and clay mineralogy of grain-size fractions in a wet silt soil
AN  - 20956815; 8427998
AB  - We determined the complex permittivity and clay mineralogy of grain-size fractions in a wet silt soil. We used one clay-size fraction and three silt-size fractions, measured permittivity with low error from 25 MHz to 2-4 GHz with time-domain spectros-copy, and estimated mineral weight percentages using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The volumetric water contents were near 30%, and the temperature was 25 degree C. For the whole soil, standard frac-tionation procedures yielded 2.4% clay-size particles by weight, but XRD showed that the phyllosilicate clay minerals kaolinite, illite, and smectite made up 17% and were significantly present in all fractions. Above approximately 500MHz, all real parts were similar. Below approximately 500 MHz, the real and imaginary permittivities increased with decreasing grain size as frequency decreased, and the imaginary parts became dominated by direct-current conduction. Similarly, below approximately 500 MHz, the measured permittivity of montmorillonite, a common smectite, dominated that of the other clay minerals. Total clay mineral and smectite mass fractions consistently increased with decreasing grain size. Below 2 GHz, a model with progressively increasing amounts of water and parameters characteristic of montmorillonite matches the data well for all fractions, predicts permittivities characteristic of free water in smectite structural galleries, and shows that the similar real parts above 500 MHz are caused by a small suppression of the high-frequency static value of water permittivity by the smectite. We conclude that the clay mineral content, particularly smectite, appears to be responsible for permittivity variations between grain-size fractions. Small model mismatches in real permittivity near the low-frequency end and the greater fractions of kaolinite and illite suggest that the total clay mineral content might have been important for the coarser fractions.

T1  - A statistical sediment yield prediction model incorporating the effect of fires and subsequent storm events
AN  - 20242093; 8307361
AB  - Alluvial fans are continuously being developed for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural uses in southern California. Development and alteration of alluvial fans need to consider the possibility of mud and debris flows from upstream mountain watersheds affected by fires. Accurate prediction of sediment yield (or hyper-concentrated sediment yield) is essential for the design, operation, and maintenance of debris basins to safeguard properly the general populace. This paper presents a model for the prediction of sediment yields that result from a combination of fire and subsequent storm events. The watersheds used in this analysis are located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. A multiple regression analysis is first utilized to establish a fundamental statistical relationship for sediment yield as a function of relief ratio, drainage area, maximum 1-h rainfall intensity and fire factor using 45 years of data (1938-1983). In addition, a method for multi-sequence sediment yield prediction under fire conditions was developed and calibrated using 17 years of sediment yield, fire, and precipitation data for the period 1984-2000. After calibration, this model was verified by applying it to provide a prediction of the sediment yields for the 2001-2002 fire events in southern California. The findings indicate a strong correlation between the estimated and measured sediment yields. The proposed method for sequence sediment yield prediction following fire events can be a useful tool to schedule cleanout operations for debris basins and to develop an emergency response strategy for the southern California region where plentiful sediment supplies exist and frequent fires occur.

T1  - Nanotoxicology and nanomedicine: making hard decisions
AN  - 19380498; 8767065
AB  - Current nanomaterial research is focused on the medical applications of nanotechnology, whereas side effects associated with nanotechnology use, especially the environmental impacts, are not taken into consideration during the engineering process. Nanomedical users and developers are faced with the challenge of balancing the medical and societal benefits and risks associated with nanotechnology. The adequacy of available tools, such as physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling or predictive structure-activity relationships, in assessing the toxicity and risk associated with specific nanomaterials is unknown. Successful development of future nanomedical devices and pharmaceuticals thus requires a consolidated information base to select the optimal nanomaterial in a given situation - understanding the toxicology and potential side effects associated with candidate materials for medical applications, understanding product life cycle, and communicating effectively with personnel, stakeholders, and regulators. This can be achieved through an innovative combination of toxicology, risk assessment modeling, and tools developed in the field of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA).

T1  - Sunlight, water, and ice: Extreme Arctic sea ice melt during the summer of 2007
AN  - 1524399070; 19639840
AB  - The summer extent of the Arctic sea ice cover, widely recognized as an indicator of climate change, has been declining for the past few decades reaching a record minimum in September 2007. The causes of the dramatic loss have implications for the future trajectory of the Arctic sea ice cover. Ice mass balance observations demonstrate that there was an extraordinarily large amount of melting on the bottom of the ice in the Beaufort Sea in the summer of 2007. Calculations indicate that solar heating of the upper ocean was the primary source of heat for this observed enhanced Beaufort Sea bottom melting. An increase in the open water fraction resulted in a 500% positive anomaly in solar heat input to the upper ocean, triggering an ice-albedo feedback and contributing to the accelerating ice retreat.

T1  - MIDCONTINENT EXPRESS PIPELINE PROJECT, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS.
AN  - 36411848; 13464
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA. [Part 2 of 5]
T2  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36399804; 13460-080222_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of stormwater treatment areas (STAs) on compartments B and C of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in Palm Beach and Hendry counties, Florida are proposed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The six existing STAs included in the ECP which are operated pursuant to the requirements set out in the EAA, contain more than 40,000 acres of effective treatment area. Though it was assumed that best management practices incorporated into management of the STAs would decrease phosphorus levels by 20 percent, this has not turned out to be the case. Additional water quality treatment is necessary in the EAA to lower levels of phosphorus contained in releases from the EAA and Lake Okeechobee that discharge to the Everglades Protection Area (ECP) in order to meet water quality standards set out in the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). This would require discharge of fill and construction of levees to create compartments B and C, followed by creation of biological treatment cells designed to bind and remove phosphorus within each compartment. The Compartment B STA would contain approximately 6,700 acres of effective area and would be operated in close coordination with the STA 2 to add phosphorus reduction capacity of the latter STA, which discharges into Water Conservation Area 2A. The SFWMD would also that the Compartment B STA be used to receive flows that otherwise would be directed to STA 1W and STA 1E, assuming there were capacity in the existing canals. The Compartment C STA would contain 6,200 acres of effective treatment area and would be operated in close coordination with STAs 5 and 6 to add to the phosphorus reduction capacity of these two STAs, which discharge to WMA 3A and the Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area. Project features include the development of several treatment cells. In addition to SFWMD's proposed action, this draft EIS considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. Two of the action alternatives to the proposed Alternative would utilize compartments B and C but with a different operating regime for Compartment B, while the third action alternative would include other lands for construction of a STA to assisting existing STA 1W and STA 1E. Key impact issues evaluated in detail in this EIS include those related to federally protected species, archaeological resources, water quality ad yield, fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, recreation, and socioeconomics. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality in the Everglades, particularly in the EPA, would improve significantly as phosphorus levels dropped in discharges to the EPA from the STAs. With improved water quality, wetland and aquatic habitat supporting thousands of species, including plant, insect, reptile, and mammalian species, would be significantly enhanced. The project would help maintain the viability of the Everglades as a unique, world-class wetland habitat resource, helping to preserve its scientific, socioeconomic, ecological, and recreational values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As proposed, the project would impact jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the U.S. covering approximately 7,591 acres in Compartment B and 5,918 acres in Compartment C, destroying or degrading the associated vegetation and wildlife and fish habitat. Archaeological sites would be affected by dredging, filling, levee construction, and stormwater flows. The recreational value of the Everglades wetlands to be affected would decline significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and Public Law 104-127.

Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites.

T1  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA. [Part 3 of 5]
T2  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36393361; 13460-080222_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of stormwater treatment areas (STAs) on compartments B and C of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in Palm Beach and Hendry counties, Florida are proposed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The six existing STAs included in the ECP which are operated pursuant to the requirements set out in the EAA, contain more than 40,000 acres of effective treatment area. Though it was assumed that best management practices incorporated into management of the STAs would decrease phosphorus levels by 20 percent, this has not turned out to be the case. Additional water quality treatment is necessary in the EAA to lower levels of phosphorus contained in releases from the EAA and Lake Okeechobee that discharge to the Everglades Protection Area (ECP) in order to meet water quality standards set out in the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). This would require discharge of fill and construction of levees to create compartments B and C, followed by creation of biological treatment cells designed to bind and remove phosphorus within each compartment. The Compartment B STA would contain approximately 6,700 acres of effective area and would be operated in close coordination with the STA 2 to add phosphorus reduction capacity of the latter STA, which discharges into Water Conservation Area 2A. The SFWMD would also that the Compartment B STA be used to receive flows that otherwise would be directed to STA 1W and STA 1E, assuming there were capacity in the existing canals. The Compartment C STA would contain 6,200 acres of effective treatment area and would be operated in close coordination with STAs 5 and 6 to add to the phosphorus reduction capacity of these two STAs, which discharge to WMA 3A and the Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area. Project features include the development of several treatment cells. In addition to SFWMD's proposed action, this draft EIS considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. Two of the action alternatives to the proposed Alternative would utilize compartments B and C but with a different operating regime for Compartment B, while the third action alternative would include other lands for construction of a STA to assisting existing STA 1W and STA 1E. Key impact issues evaluated in detail in this EIS include those related to federally protected species, archaeological resources, water quality ad yield, fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, recreation, and socioeconomics. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality in the Everglades, particularly in the EPA, would improve significantly as phosphorus levels dropped in discharges to the EPA from the STAs. With improved water quality, wetland and aquatic habitat supporting thousands of species, including plant, insect, reptile, and mammalian species, would be significantly enhanced. The project would help maintain the viability of the Everglades as a unique, world-class wetland habitat resource, helping to preserve its scientific, socioeconomic, ecological, and recreational values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As proposed, the project would impact jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the U.S. covering approximately 7,591 acres in Compartment B and 5,918 acres in Compartment C, destroying or degrading the associated vegetation and wildlife and fish habitat. Archaeological sites would be affected by dredging, filling, levee construction, and stormwater flows. The recreational value of the Everglades wetlands to be affected would decline significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and Public Law 104-127.

In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites.

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites.

T2  - JEPSON PARKWAY PROJECT, SUISUN CITY, FAIRFIELD, AND VACAVILLE, AND UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36390603; 13458-080220_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 12 miles of roadway infrastructure within the Jepson Parkway corridor in Solano County, California is proposed. The corridor traverses the cities of Suisun, Fairfield, and Vacaville as well as unincorporated portions of Solano County. The parkway improvements would extend from the intersection of Orange Drive and Leisure Town Road in Vacaville on the north to State Route (SR) 12/Walters Road in Suisun City on the south. Five alternatives, including the No Project Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The project would upgrade ad link a series of existing local two- and four lane roadways and, under one alternative, extend an existing roadway to provide a four- to six-lane north-south travel route for residents who face increasing congestion when traveling between communities in central Solano County. Roadways under consideration for improvements include Peabody Road, Leisure Town Road, Vanden Road, Cement Hill Road, Huntington Drive, Air Base Parkway, and/or Walters Road; the latter is the facility that may be extended to the north. In addition to roadway widening and extension, the project would provide a grade-separated crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and a partial interchange at the intersection of Airbase Parkway and Peabody Road; drainage crossing improvements at the Putah Canal and Alamo, New Alamo, McCoy, and Union creeks; a trail to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, landscaping; and landscaping and utility improvements. The project would also include safety improvements such as the provision of roadway medians, traffic signals, shoulders, separate turn lanes, railroad grade separations, and separate bike lanes. Project implementation would occur over 12 to 24 months interspersed across a 48- to 60-month period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would meet the objectives of the regional Jepson Parkway Concept Plan, including safety improvements at various locations and along various road segments; relief from existing and anticipated traffic congestion on north-south routes in Solano County; and improved and new transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The improved parkway would provide a safe, convenient route for local traffic in this portion of Solano County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would convert 29.6 to 75.4 acres of farmland, four to 11 commercial enterprises employing 40 to 224 workers, 26 single-family and 10 multi-family residences, and up to two community facilities. Habitat losses would include one to 3.5 acres of riparian woodland, 19 native oaks, 1,1 to 4.3 acres of wetlands, and habitat for a number of mostly avian animal species and pappose spikeweed. Three to four intersections within the corridor would continue to operate below local level-of-service standards in 2010, but all intersections in the corridor would operate in compliance with local standards by 2030. The roadway improvements would traverse 100-year floodplains and significantly alter drainage patterns in the area. The corridor lies within a highly active seismic fault zone. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards for sensitive receptor sites along Walters Road and either Leisure Town Road or Peabody Road. Construction workers would encounter hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA. [Part 4 of 5]
T2  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36390359; 13460-080222_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of stormwater treatment areas (STAs) on compartments B and C of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in Palm Beach and Hendry counties, Florida are proposed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The six existing STAs included in the ECP which are operated pursuant to the requirements set out in the EAA, contain more than 40,000 acres of effective treatment area. Though it was assumed that best management practices incorporated into management of the STAs would decrease phosphorus levels by 20 percent, this has not turned out to be the case. Additional water quality treatment is necessary in the EAA to lower levels of phosphorus contained in releases from the EAA and Lake Okeechobee that discharge to the Everglades Protection Area (ECP) in order to meet water quality standards set out in the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). This would require discharge of fill and construction of levees to create compartments B and C, followed by creation of biological treatment cells designed to bind and remove phosphorus within each compartment. The Compartment B STA would contain approximately 6,700 acres of effective area and would be operated in close coordination with the STA 2 to add phosphorus reduction capacity of the latter STA, which discharges into Water Conservation Area 2A. The SFWMD would also that the Compartment B STA be used to receive flows that otherwise would be directed to STA 1W and STA 1E, assuming there were capacity in the existing canals. The Compartment C STA would contain 6,200 acres of effective treatment area and would be operated in close coordination with STAs 5 and 6 to add to the phosphorus reduction capacity of these two STAs, which discharge to WMA 3A and the Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area. Project features include the development of several treatment cells. In addition to SFWMD's proposed action, this draft EIS considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. Two of the action alternatives to the proposed Alternative would utilize compartments B and C but with a different operating regime for Compartment B, while the third action alternative would include other lands for construction of a STA to assisting existing STA 1W and STA 1E. Key impact issues evaluated in detail in this EIS include those related to federally protected species, archaeological resources, water quality ad yield, fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, recreation, and socioeconomics. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality in the Everglades, particularly in the EPA, would improve significantly as phosphorus levels dropped in discharges to the EPA from the STAs. With improved water quality, wetland and aquatic habitat supporting thousands of species, including plant, insect, reptile, and mammalian species, would be significantly enhanced. The project would help maintain the viability of the Everglades as a unique, world-class wetland habitat resource, helping to preserve its scientific, socioeconomic, ecological, and recreational values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As proposed, the project would impact jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the U.S. covering approximately 7,591 acres in Compartment B and 5,918 acres in Compartment C, destroying or degrading the associated vegetation and wildlife and fish habitat. Archaeological sites would be affected by dredging, filling, levee construction, and stormwater flows. The recreational value of the Everglades wetlands to be affected would decline significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and Public Law 104-127.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would meet the objectives of the regional Jepson Parkway Concept Plan, including safety improvements at various locations and along various road segments; relief from existing and anticipated traffic congestion on north-south routes in Solano County; and improved and new transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The improved parkway would provide a safe, convenient route for local traffic in this portion of Solano County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would convert 29.6 to 75.4 acres of farmland, four to 11 commercial enterprises employing 40 to 224 workers, 26 single-family and 10 multi-family residences, and up to two community facilities. Habitat losses would include one to 3.5 acres of riparian woodland, 19 native oaks, 1,1 to 4.3 acres of wetlands, and habitat for a number of mostly avian animal species and pappose spikeweed. Three to four intersections within the corridor would continue to operate below local level-of-service standards in 2010, but all intersections in the corridor would operate in compliance with local standards by 2030. The roadway improvements would traverse 100-year floodplains and significantly alter drainage patterns in the area. The corridor lies within a highly active seismic fault zone. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards for sensitive receptor sites along Walters Road and either Leisure Town Road or Peabody Road. Construction workers would encounter hazardous waste sites.

T1  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA. [Part 5 of 5]
T2  - CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS ON COMPARTMENTS B AND C OF THE EVERGLADES AGRICULTURAL AREA, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36383191; 13460-080222_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of stormwater treatment areas (STAs) on compartments B and C of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in Palm Beach and Hendry counties, Florida are proposed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The six existing STAs included in the ECP which are operated pursuant to the requirements set out in the EAA, contain more than 40,000 acres of effective treatment area. Though it was assumed that best management practices incorporated into management of the STAs would decrease phosphorus levels by 20 percent, this has not turned out to be the case. Additional water quality treatment is necessary in the EAA to lower levels of phosphorus contained in releases from the EAA and Lake Okeechobee that discharge to the Everglades Protection Area (ECP) in order to meet water quality standards set out in the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). This would require discharge of fill and construction of levees to create compartments B and C, followed by creation of biological treatment cells designed to bind and remove phosphorus within each compartment. The Compartment B STA would contain approximately 6,700 acres of effective area and would be operated in close coordination with the STA 2 to add phosphorus reduction capacity of the latter STA, which discharges into Water Conservation Area 2A. The SFWMD would also that the Compartment B STA be used to receive flows that otherwise would be directed to STA 1W and STA 1E, assuming there were capacity in the existing canals. The Compartment C STA would contain 6,200 acres of effective treatment area and would be operated in close coordination with STAs 5 and 6 to add to the phosphorus reduction capacity of these two STAs, which discharge to WMA 3A and the Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area. Project features include the development of several treatment cells. In addition to SFWMD's proposed action, this draft EIS considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. Two of the action alternatives to the proposed Alternative would utilize compartments B and C but with a different operating regime for Compartment B, while the third action alternative would include other lands for construction of a STA to assisting existing STA 1W and STA 1E. Key impact issues evaluated in detail in this EIS include those related to federally protected species, archaeological resources, water quality ad yield, fish and wildlife habitat, vegetation, recreation, and socioeconomics. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Water quality in the Everglades, particularly in the EPA, would improve significantly as phosphorus levels dropped in discharges to the EPA from the STAs. With improved water quality, wetland and aquatic habitat supporting thousands of species, including plant, insect, reptile, and mammalian species, would be significantly enhanced. The project would help maintain the viability of the Everglades as a unique, world-class wetland habitat resource, helping to preserve its scientific, socioeconomic, ecological, and recreational values. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As proposed, the project would impact jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the U.S. covering approximately 7,591 acres in Compartment B and 5,918 acres in Compartment C, destroying or degrading the associated vegetation and wildlife and fish habitat. Archaeological sites would be affected by dredging, filling, levee construction, and stormwater flows. The recreational value of the Everglades wetlands to be affected would decline significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and Public Law 104-127.

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - JEPSON PARKWAY PROJECT, SUISUN CITY, FAIRFIELD, AND VACAVILLE, AND UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 1 of 3]
T2  - JEPSON PARKWAY PROJECT, SUISUN CITY, FAIRFIELD, AND VACAVILLE, AND UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36380330; 13458-080220_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 12 miles of roadway infrastructure within the Jepson Parkway corridor in Solano County, California is proposed. The corridor traverses the cities of Suisun, Fairfield, and Vacaville as well as unincorporated portions of Solano County. The parkway improvements would extend from the intersection of Orange Drive and Leisure Town Road in Vacaville on the north to State Route (SR) 12/Walters Road in Suisun City on the south. Five alternatives, including the No Project Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The project would upgrade ad link a series of existing local two- and four lane roadways and, under one alternative, extend an existing roadway to provide a four- to six-lane north-south travel route for residents who face increasing congestion when traveling between communities in central Solano County. Roadways under consideration for improvements include Peabody Road, Leisure Town Road, Vanden Road, Cement Hill Road, Huntington Drive, Air Base Parkway, and/or Walters Road; the latter is the facility that may be extended to the north. In addition to roadway widening and extension, the project would provide a grade-separated crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and a partial interchange at the intersection of Airbase Parkway and Peabody Road; drainage crossing improvements at the Putah Canal and Alamo, New Alamo, McCoy, and Union creeks; a trail to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, landscaping; and landscaping and utility improvements. The project would also include safety improvements such as the provision of roadway medians, traffic signals, shoulders, separate turn lanes, railroad grade separations, and separate bike lanes. Project implementation would occur over 12 to 24 months interspersed across a 48- to 60-month period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would meet the objectives of the regional Jepson Parkway Concept Plan, including safety improvements at various locations and along various road segments; relief from existing and anticipated traffic congestion on north-south routes in Solano County; and improved and new transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The improved parkway would provide a safe, convenient route for local traffic in this portion of Solano County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would convert 29.6 to 75.4 acres of farmland, four to 11 commercial enterprises employing 40 to 224 workers, 26 single-family and 10 multi-family residences, and up to two community facilities. Habitat losses would include one to 3.5 acres of riparian woodland, 19 native oaks, 1,1 to 4.3 acres of wetlands, and habitat for a number of mostly avian animal species and pappose spikeweed. Three to four intersections within the corridor would continue to operate below local level-of-service standards in 2010, but all intersections in the corridor would operate in compliance with local standards by 2030. The roadway improvements would traverse 100-year floodplains and significantly alter drainage patterns in the area. The corridor lies within a highly active seismic fault zone. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards for sensitive receptor sites along Walters Road and either Leisure Town Road or Peabody Road. Construction workers would encounter hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites.

T1  - JEPSON PARKWAY PROJECT, SUISUN CITY, FAIRFIELD, AND VACAVILLE, AND UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 16368794; 13458
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 12 miles of roadway infrastructure within the Jepson Parkway corridor in Solano County, California is proposed. The corridor traverses the cities of Suisun, Fairfield, and Vacaville as well as unincorporated portions of Solano County. The parkway improvements would extend from the intersection of Orange Drive and Leisure Town Road in Vacaville on the north to State Route (SR) 12/Walters Road in Suisun City on the south. Five alternatives, including the No Project Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in this draft EIS. The project would upgrade ad link a series of existing local two- and four lane roadways and, under one alternative, extend an existing roadway to provide a four- to six-lane north-south travel route for residents who face increasing congestion when traveling between communities in central Solano County. Roadways under consideration for improvements include Peabody Road, Leisure Town Road, Vanden Road, Cement Hill Road, Huntington Drive, Air Base Parkway, and/or Walters Road; the latter is the facility that may be extended to the north. In addition to roadway widening and extension, the project would provide a grade-separated crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and a partial interchange at the intersection of Airbase Parkway and Peabody Road; drainage crossing improvements at the Putah Canal and Alamo, New Alamo, McCoy, and Union creeks; a trail to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, landscaping; and landscaping and utility improvements. The project would also include safety improvements such as the provision of roadway medians, traffic signals, shoulders, separate turn lanes, railroad grade separations, and separate bike lanes. Project implementation would occur over 12 to 24 months interspersed across a 48- to 60-month period. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would meet the objectives of the regional Jepson Parkway Concept Plan, including safety improvements at various locations and along various road segments; relief from existing and anticipated traffic congestion on north-south routes in Solano County; and improved and new transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The improved parkway would provide a safe, convenient route for local traffic in this portion of Solano County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would convert 29.6 to 75.4 acres of farmland, four to 11 commercial enterprises employing 40 to 224 workers, 26 single-family and 10 multi-family residences, and up to two community facilities. Habitat losses would include one to 3.5 acres of riparian woodland, 19 native oaks, 1,1 to 4.3 acres of wetlands, and habitat for a number of mostly avian animal species and pappose spikeweed. Three to four intersections within the corridor would continue to operate below local level-of-service standards in 2010, but all intersections in the corridor would operate in compliance with local standards by 2030. The roadway improvements would traverse 100-year floodplains and significantly alter drainage patterns in the area. The corridor lies within a highly active seismic fault zone. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards for sensitive receptor sites along Walters Road and either Leisure Town Road or Peabody Road. Construction workers would encounter hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T2  - PACIFIC L.A. MARINE TERMINAL LLC, PIER 400, BERTH 408 PROJECT LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36398009; 13455-080217_0009
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deep-draft crude oil marine terminal along with the associated tank farms and pipelines at piers 300 and 400 within the Port of San Pedro, Los Angeles, California are proposed. California crude oil production peaked in 1985and has declined by 39 percent since 1986; Alaskan crude production has declined 60 percent since its peak in 1988. Hence, foreign crude imports into California ports have increased and are expected to continue to increase. Anticipating the importance of liquid bulk and containerized shipping, the Los Angeles Harbor Department, the Port of Long Beach, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a study to determine the capacity of the San Pedro Port Complex to accommodate cargo forecasts through the 2020. In 1992, a deep draft navigation improvements project was proposed to ameliorate efficiency and safety problems at the port. The deep draft project plan envisioned three uses or Pier 400: 1) an area to relocate existing hazardous bulk facilities away from populated and sensitive use areas; 2) a site for a 150-acre container terminal; and 3) a site for a new deep-draft liquid bulk marine terminal. The proposed project would involve construction of a deep-draft crude oil terminal offloading facility at Berth 408 on Face C of Pier 400; a tank farm containing two storage /transfer tanks, a fuel tank, and related equipment on Face D of Pier 400; a tank farm on Pier 300 containing 14 storage/transfer tanks; and pipelines connecting the terminal to the tank farm sites and both the ExxonMobil Southwest Terminal on Terminal Island and the Ultramar/Valero Refinery located north of the Terminal Island Freeway and south of Anaheim Street. The five acres of terminal and associated facilities would be constructed over 30 months and would be operated under a 30-year lease. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a reduced project alternative and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to accommodate the projected increase in demand for foreign crude oil to be imported into southern California while mitigating the impacts of that activity on the local environment and the Los Angeles region, including the San Pedro Bay. The terminal could accommodate 677,000 barrels per day and would provide a storage capacity of 4.8 million barrels. The new terminal facilities at the pier would also respond appropriately to the trend toward larger container vessels and the containers themselves, a projected shortfall in crude oil vessel berthing capacity at the San Pedro Bay Ports, and an increased need for crude oil storage capacity for efficient offloading of vessels at berth. Construction activities would employ 523 workers, while operation of the terminal would employ 54 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for California least tern, brown pelican. Western snowy plover, black skimmer, and burrowing owl, and other special status species would be displaced or degraded. Pollutant runoff from the terminal would contribute significantly to the degradation of water in San Pedro Bay; oil spills and spills of other contaminants could have a devastating impact on the bay ecosystem and contaminant spills could endanger human health. The facilities would lie within an area of significant and relatively frequent seismic activity. Terminal operations would result in violation of federal air quality standards in a nonattainment area for emissions of criterion pollutants. Facility operations could seriously degrade recreational experiences in and around the bay. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36392364; 13455-080217_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deep-draft crude oil marine terminal along with the associated tank farms and pipelines at piers 300 and 400 within the Port of San Pedro, Los Angeles, California are proposed. California crude oil production peaked in 1985and has declined by 39 percent since 1986; Alaskan crude production has declined 60 percent since its peak in 1988. Hence, foreign crude imports into California ports have increased and are expected to continue to increase. Anticipating the importance of liquid bulk and containerized shipping, the Los Angeles Harbor Department, the Port of Long Beach, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a study to determine the capacity of the San Pedro Port Complex to accommodate cargo forecasts through the 2020. In 1992, a deep draft navigation improvements project was proposed to ameliorate efficiency and safety problems at the port. The deep draft project plan envisioned three uses or Pier 400: 1) an area to relocate existing hazardous bulk facilities away from populated and sensitive use areas; 2) a site for a 150-acre container terminal; and 3) a site for a new deep-draft liquid bulk marine terminal. The proposed project would involve construction of a deep-draft crude oil terminal offloading facility at Berth 408 on Face C of Pier 400; a tank farm containing two storage /transfer tanks, a fuel tank, and related equipment on Face D of Pier 400; a tank farm on Pier 300 containing 14 storage/transfer tanks; and pipelines connecting the terminal to the tank farm sites and both the ExxonMobil Southwest Terminal on Terminal Island and the Ultramar/Valero Refinery located north of the Terminal Island Freeway and south of Anaheim Street. The five acres of terminal and associated facilities would be constructed over 30 months and would be operated under a 30-year lease. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a reduced project alternative and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to accommodate the projected increase in demand for foreign crude oil to be imported into southern California while mitigating the impacts of that activity on the local environment and the Los Angeles region, including the San Pedro Bay. The terminal could accommodate 677,000 barrels per day and would provide a storage capacity of 4.8 million barrels. The new terminal facilities at the pier would also respond appropriately to the trend toward larger container vessels and the containers themselves, a projected shortfall in crude oil vessel berthing capacity at the San Pedro Bay Ports, and an increased need for crude oil storage capacity for efficient offloading of vessels at berth. Construction activities would employ 523 workers, while operation of the terminal would employ 54 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for California least tern, brown pelican. Western snowy plover, black skimmer, and burrowing owl, and other special status species would be displaced or degraded. Pollutant runoff from the terminal would contribute significantly to the degradation of water in San Pedro Bay; oil spills and spills of other contaminants could have a devastating impact on the bay ecosystem and contaminant spills could endanger human health. The facilities would lie within an area of significant and relatively frequent seismic activity. Terminal operations would result in violation of federal air quality standards in a nonattainment area for emissions of criterion pollutants. Facility operations could seriously degrade recreational experiences in and around the bay. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deep-draft crude oil marine terminal along with the associated tank farms and pipelines at piers 300 and 400 within the Port of San Pedro, Los Angeles, California are proposed. California crude oil production peaked in 1985and has declined by 39 percent since 1986; Alaskan crude production has declined 60 percent since its peak in 1988. Hence, foreign crude imports into California ports have increased and are expected to continue to increase. Anticipating the importance of liquid bulk and containerized shipping, the Los Angeles Harbor Department, the Port of Long Beach, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a study to determine the capacity of the San Pedro Port Complex to accommodate cargo forecasts through the 2020. In 1992, a deep draft navigation improvements project was proposed to ameliorate efficiency and safety problems at the port. The deep draft project plan envisioned three uses or Pier 400: 1) an area to relocate existing hazardous bulk facilities away from populated and sensitive use areas; 2) a site for a 150-acre container terminal; and 3) a site for a new deep-draft liquid bulk marine terminal. The proposed project would involve construction of a deep-draft crude oil terminal offloading facility at Berth 408 on Face C of Pier 400; a tank farm containing two storage /transfer tanks, a fuel tank, and related equipment on Face D of Pier 400; a tank farm on Pier 300 containing 14 storage/transfer tanks; and pipelines connecting the terminal to the tank farm sites and both the ExxonMobil Southwest Terminal on Terminal Island and the Ultramar/Valero Refinery located north of the Terminal Island Freeway and south of Anaheim Street. The five acres of terminal and associated facilities would be constructed over 30 months and would be operated under a 30-year lease. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a reduced project alternative and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to accommodate the projected increase in demand for foreign crude oil to be imported into southern California while mitigating the impacts of that activity on the local environment and the Los Angeles region, including the San Pedro Bay. The terminal could accommodate 677,000 barrels per day and would provide a storage capacity of 4.8 million barrels. The new terminal facilities at the pier would also respond appropriately to the trend toward larger container vessels and the containers themselves, a projected shortfall in crude oil vessel berthing capacity at the San Pedro Bay Ports, and an increased need for crude oil storage capacity for efficient offloading of vessels at berth. Construction activities would employ 523 workers, while operation of the terminal would employ 54 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for California least tern, brown pelican. Western snowy plover, black skimmer, and burrowing owl, and other special status species would be displaced or degraded. Pollutant runoff from the terminal would contribute significantly to the degradation of water in San Pedro Bay; oil spills and spills of other contaminants could have a devastating impact on the bay ecosystem and contaminant spills could endanger human health. The facilities would lie within an area of significant and relatively frequent seismic activity. Terminal operations would result in violation of federal air quality standards in a nonattainment area for emissions of criterion pollutants.

AN  - 36385036; 13455-080217_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deep-draft crude oil marine terminal along with the associated tank farms and pipelines at piers 300 and 400 within the Port of San Pedro, Los Angeles, California are proposed. California crude oil production peaked in 1985and has declined by 39 percent since 1986; Alaskan crude production has declined 60 percent since its peak in 1988. Hence, foreign crude imports into California ports have increased and are expected to continue to increase. Anticipating the importance of liquid bulk and containerized shipping, the Los Angeles Harbor Department, the Port of Long Beach, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a study to determine the capacity of the San Pedro Port Complex to accommodate cargo forecasts through the 2020. In 1992, a deep draft navigation improvements project was proposed to ameliorate efficiency and safety problems at the port. The deep draft project plan envisioned three uses or Pier 400: 1) an area to relocate existing hazardous bulk facilities away from populated and sensitive use areas; 2) a site for a 150-acre container terminal; and 3) a site for a new deep-draft liquid bulk marine terminal. The proposed project would involve construction of a deep-draft crude oil terminal offloading facility at Berth 408 on Face C of Pier 400; a tank farm containing two storage /transfer tanks, a fuel tank, and related equipment on Face D of Pier 400; a tank farm on Pier 300 containing 14 storage/transfer tanks; and pipelines connecting the terminal to the tank farm sites and both the ExxonMobil Southwest Terminal on Terminal Island and the Ultramar/Valero Refinery located north of the Terminal Island Freeway and south of Anaheim Street. The five acres of terminal and associated facilities would be constructed over 30 months and would be operated under a 30-year lease. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a reduced project alternative and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to accommodate the projected increase in demand for foreign crude oil to be imported into southern California while mitigating the impacts of that activity on the local environment and the Los Angeles region, including the San Pedro Bay. The terminal could accommodate 677,000 barrels per day and would provide a storage capacity of 4.8 million barrels. The new terminal facilities at the pier would also respond appropriately to the trend toward larger container vessels and the containers themselves, a projected shortfall in crude oil vessel berthing capacity at the San Pedro Bay Ports, and an increased need for crude oil storage capacity for efficient offloading of vessels at berth. Construction activities would employ 523 workers, while operation of the terminal would employ 54 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for California least tern, brown pelican. Western snowy plover, black skimmer, and burrowing owl, and other special status species would be displaced or degraded. Pollutant runoff from the terminal would contribute significantly to the degradation of water in San Pedro Bay; oil spills and spills of other contaminants could have a devastating impact on the bay ecosystem and contaminant spills could endanger human health. The facilities would lie within an area of significant and relatively frequent seismic activity. Terminal operations would result in violation of federal air quality standards in a nonattainment area for emissions of criterion pollutants. Facility operations could seriously degrade recreational experiences in and around the bay. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. [Part 2 of 19]
T2  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36396291; 13449-080211_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a high-speed train system linking Sacramento to San Francisco, California is proposed as part of a statewide high-speed train system. The need to improve Californias transportation infrastructure, including the infrastructure in the Bay Area and Central Valley, is directly related to the population growth and increased intercity travel demand expected over the next 20 years and beyond and the increased travel delays and congestion that would result on California's highway system and at its airports. The high -speed train system would be capable of transporting passengers at up to 200 miles per hour on tracks that are mostly dedicated, fully grade-separated, and fenced. The rail system would consist of a state-of-the-art, electrically powered, high-speed, steel-wheel-on-steel-rail system that would serve major metropolitan centers in California, including those in the study region. State-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated train-control systems would be employed. The train would primarily use exclusive track, with small portions of the route on track shared with other passenger rail operations. The train track would be at-grade, in an open trench or tunnel, or on an elevated guideway, depending on terrain and other physical constraints. Extensive portions of many of the alignment alternatives would lie within or adjacent to existing rail or highway rights-of-way, rather than on new alignment. Tunnel segments of the alignments would be used through mountain passes. The study region was divided into six corridors: San Francisco to San Jose, Oakland to San Jose, San Jose to Central Valley, East Bay to Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Crossings, and Central Valley. A No Project Alternative and a number of high-speed train system network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options are considered in this final EIS. Network alternatives consist of combinations of alternative alignments and station location options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The high-speed system would respond to transportation needs of a growing population, surmount capacity and reliability constraints affecting road and air transport for intrastate travel, increase mobility by increasing the intensity of modal connections and providing an alternative high-speed transportation mode, and improve air quality and pressure on natural resources, currently degraded by pressure for highway construction and airport expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 755.6 to 1,638.7 acres, 177.6 to 724.4 acres of floodplain, and 44.4 to 56.1 acres of wetlands. From 75.79 to 133,97 acres of stream would be affected by track traversal. Habitat for 38 to 71 federally protected plant and animal species would be affected. From 78 to 220 cultural resource sites would be disturbed or removed. Rail structures and moving train would mar visual aesthetics along the affected corridors. Moderate ambient noise and vibration increases would be expected along rail corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0278D, Volume 31, Number 2.

T1  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. [Part 8 of 19]
T2  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36391403; 13449-080211_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a high-speed train system linking Sacramento to San Francisco, California is proposed as part of a statewide high-speed train system. The need to improve Californias transportation infrastructure, including the infrastructure in the Bay Area and Central Valley, is directly related to the population growth and increased intercity travel demand expected over the next 20 years and beyond and the increased travel delays and congestion that would result on California's highway system and at its airports. The high -speed train system would be capable of transporting passengers at up to 200 miles per hour on tracks that are mostly dedicated, fully grade-separated, and fenced. The rail system would consist of a state-of-the-art, electrically powered, high-speed, steel-wheel-on-steel-rail system that would serve major metropolitan centers in California, including those in the study region. State-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated train-control systems would be employed. The train would primarily use exclusive track, with small portions of the route on track shared with other passenger rail operations. The train track would be at-grade, in an open trench or tunnel, or on an elevated guideway, depending on terrain and other physical constraints. Extensive portions of many of the alignment alternatives would lie within or adjacent to existing rail or highway rights-of-way, rather than on new alignment. Tunnel segments of the alignments would be used through mountain passes. The study region was divided into six corridors: San Francisco to San Jose, Oakland to San Jose, San Jose to Central Valley, East Bay to Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Crossings, and Central Valley. A No Project Alternative and a number of high-speed train system network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options are considered in this final EIS. Network alternatives consist of combinations of alternative alignments and station location options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The high-speed system would respond to transportation needs of a growing population, surmount capacity and reliability constraints affecting road and air transport for intrastate travel, increase mobility by increasing the intensity of modal connections and providing an alternative high-speed transportation mode, and improve air quality and pressure on natural resources, currently degraded by pressure for highway construction and airport expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 755.6 to 1,638.7 acres, 177.6 to 724.4 acres of floodplain, and 44.4 to 56.1 acres of wetlands. From 75.79 to 133,97 acres of stream would be affected by track traversal. Habitat for 38 to 71 federally protected plant and animal species would be affected. From 78 to 220 cultural resource sites would be disturbed or removed. Rail structures and moving train would mar visual aesthetics along the affected corridors. Moderate ambient noise and vibration increases would be expected along rail corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0278D, Volume 31, Number 2.

The train track would be at-grade, in an open trench or tunnel, or on an elevated guideway, depending on terrain and other physical constraints. Extensive portions of many of the alignment alternatives would lie within or adjacent to existing rail or highway rights-of-way, rather than on new alignment. Tunnel segments of the alignments would be used through mountain passes. The study region was divided into six corridors: San Francisco to San Jose, Oakland to San Jose, San Jose to Central Valley, East Bay to Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Crossings, and Central Valley. A No Project Alternative and a number of high-speed train system network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options are considered in this final EIS. Network alternatives consist of combinations of alternative alignments and station location options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The high-speed system would respond to transportation needs of a growing population, surmount capacity and reliability constraints affecting road and air transport for intrastate travel, increase mobility by increasing the intensity of modal connections and providing an alternative high-speed transportation mode, and improve air quality and pressure on natural resources, currently degraded by pressure for highway construction and airport expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 755.6 to 1,638.7 acres, 177.6 to 724.4 acres of floodplain, and 44.4 to 56.1 acres of wetlands. From 75.79 to 133,97 acres of stream would be affected by track traversal. Habitat for 38 to 71 federally protected plant and animal species would be affected. From 78 to 220 cultural resource sites would be disturbed or removed. Rail structures and moving train would mar visual aesthetics along the affected corridors. Moderate ambient noise and vibration increases would be expected along rail corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.)

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a high-speed train system linking Sacramento to San Francisco, California is proposed as part of a statewide high-speed train system. The need to improve Californias transportation infrastructure, including the infrastructure in the Bay Area and Central Valley, is directly related to the population growth and increased intercity travel demand expected over the next 20 years and beyond and the increased travel delays and congestion that would result on California's highway system and at its airports. The high -speed train system would be capable of transporting passengers at up to 200 miles per hour on tracks that are mostly dedicated, fully grade-separated, and fenced. The rail system would consist of a state-of-the-art, electrically powered, high-speed, steel-wheel-on-steel-rail system that would serve major metropolitan centers in California, including those in the study region. State-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated train-control systems would be employed.

T1  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. [Part 17 of 19]
T2  - BAY AREA TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (HST), SACRAMENTO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36380670; 13449-080211_0017
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a high-speed train system linking Sacramento to San Francisco, California is proposed as part of a statewide high-speed train system. The need to improve Californias transportation infrastructure, including the infrastructure in the Bay Area and Central Valley, is directly related to the population growth and increased intercity travel demand expected over the next 20 years and beyond and the increased travel delays and congestion that would result on California's highway system and at its airports. The high -speed train system would be capable of transporting passengers at up to 200 miles per hour on tracks that are mostly dedicated, fully grade-separated, and fenced. The rail system would consist of a state-of-the-art, electrically powered, high-speed, steel-wheel-on-steel-rail system that would serve major metropolitan centers in California, including those in the study region. State-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated train-control systems would be employed. The train would primarily use exclusive track, with small portions of the route on track shared with other passenger rail operations. The train track would be at-grade, in an open trench or tunnel, or on an elevated guideway, depending on terrain and other physical constraints. Extensive portions of many of the alignment alternatives would lie within or adjacent to existing rail or highway rights-of-way, rather than on new alignment. Tunnel segments of the alignments would be used through mountain passes. The study region was divided into six corridors: San Francisco to San Jose, Oakland to San Jose, San Jose to Central Valley, East Bay to Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Crossings, and Central Valley. A No Project Alternative and a number of high-speed train system network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options are considered in this final EIS. Network alternatives consist of combinations of alternative alignments and station location options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The high-speed system would respond to transportation needs of a growing population, surmount capacity and reliability constraints affecting road and air transport for intrastate travel, increase mobility by increasing the intensity of modal connections and providing an alternative high-speed transportation mode, and improve air quality and pressure on natural resources, currently degraded by pressure for highway construction and airport expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of 755.6 to 1,638.7 acres, 177.6 to 724.4 acres of floodplain, and 44.4 to 56.1 acres of wetlands. From 75.79 to 133,97 acres of stream would be affected by track traversal. Habitat for 38 to 71 federally protected plant and animal species would be affected. From 78 to 220 cultural resource sites would be disturbed or removed. Rail structures and moving train would mar visual aesthetics along the affected corridors. Moderate ambient noise and vibration increases would be expected along rail corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0278D, Volume 31, Number 2.

T1  - MIDDLE HARBOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, LONG BEACH HARBOR, CALIFORNIA. [Part 2 of 3]
T2  - MIDDLE HARBOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, LONG BEACH HARBOR, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36389683; 13444-080206_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Middle harbor Redevelopment Project at Long Island harbor on Long Island, California is proposed. Waterways within the port are often too shallow and/or too narrow to accommodate deep-draft cargo ships. Some berths and piers are also inadequate for such ships. The existing utility infrastructure is outdated and inadequate to support environmental controls necessary to reduce pollution and conserve energy and rail capacity is inadequate at two piers. The proposed action, known as the 345-Acre Alternative, would rehabilitate or replace deteriorated and obsolete terminal facilities; dredge all berths, basins, and channels to a depth of 55 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW); create new backland; modernize marine terminal facilities; an implement environmental controls, including the harbors Green Port Policy, to accommodate a portion of the predicted increase in containerized cargo volume and the modern, larger cargo vessels expected to transport containers to and from the port. The existing Middle Harbor site would be increased to 345 acres, including 54.6 net acres of newly created land. The project would include terminal consolidation, redevelopment, and expansion on areas of existing and newly created land, dredge and fill operations, wharf construction to create three deep-water berths with depths of 455 feet below MLLW, and rail infrastructure improvements. The project would also include construction of a 66-kilovolt substation to provide power to support Middle Harbor container terminal operations, including supplying shore-to-ship power and future power needs for other port facilities. Project implementation would occur in two phases, with the first phase including five stages and the second four stages. In addition to the proposed action, three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: When completed, the proposed action would provide a consolidated container terminal designed to load and unload containerized cargo to and from marine vessels. When optimized at maximum throughput capacity, by the year 2025, the consolidated terminal would accommodate 3.3 million 20-foot-equivalent units (TEUs) per year. The intermodal railyard would accommodate 796,800 TEUs annually. The project would provide employment for an additional 432 workers, primarily workers from the immediate area, and otherwise boost the local and regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the area of backland would reduce open water area and benthic habitat accordingly. Increased numbers of large cargo vessel calling on the port would increase the risk of collision with marine mammals. Truck trips to and from Middle Harbor would increase from an average of 6,528 per day in 2005 to 10,112 per day in 2025, resulting in significant increases in traffic congestion within the local road transportation in the vicinity of the harbor and adding significantly to the levels of criteria pollutants in a federal air quality standards nonattainment area. Similar increases in train traffic would occur.

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Middle harbor Redevelopment Project at Long Island harbor on Long Island, California is proposed. Waterways within the port are often too shallow and/or too narrow to accommodate deep-draft cargo ships. Some berths and piers are also inadequate for such ships.

AN  - 36396933; 13443-080205_0007
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of 12.13 miles of highway as a portion of the Grand Parkway in the northwest quadrant of the third loop highway (State Highway (SH) 99) around the city of Houston in Harris County, Texas is proposed. Once completed, the 170-mile circumferential Grand Parkway would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around Houston. The conceptual design for this segment (Segment F-1) of the Grand Parkway would provide for a four-mainline, at-grade, controlled access freeway, with a design speed of 70 miles per hour, within a 400-foot right-of-way. Segments E, F-1, F-2, and G are located approximately 25 to 30 miles to the northwest of the city. Together they will combine to provide a continuous 52-mile highway facility. The Segment F-1 study area is bounded by SH 249 on the northeast, US 290/SH 6 on the southwest, Farm-to-Market 1960 on the south, and the Harris/Montgomery County line on the northwest. Four build alternatives were considered in this draft EIS. The recommended alternative, which has been carried over as the preferred alternative in this final EIS, would provide for a combination of alignments investigated during the design study. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would provide improved access to the existing thoroughfare system, reduce area traffic congestion, improve safety, and improve area-wide mobility. Together with the other Grand Parkway segments in the northwest quadrant, the facility would provide access to Interstate 10 (I-10), US 290. SH 249, and I-45, and US 59. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of one business and 11 residences, 587.7 acres of prime farmland, 163 acres of farmland of statewide and local importance, 3.1 acres of riparian forest, and nine acres of surface waterbodies. The freeway would traverse 71.5 acres within floodplain areas and 111.7 acres within floodways. One historic site could be affected, and the highway would traverse 509 acres of high-probability areas for archaeological resources. Traffic-generated noise levels could exceed federal standards in the vicinity of as many as 39 sensitive receptor sites. Freeway structures would mar visual aesthetics in areas that are currently rural. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005, Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (112 Stat. 107), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN  - 36392060; 13443-080205_0009
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of 12.13 miles of highway as a portion of the Grand Parkway in the northwest quadrant of the third loop highway (State Highway (SH) 99) around the city of Houston in Harris County, Texas is proposed. Once completed, the 170-mile circumferential Grand Parkway would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around Houston. The conceptual design for this segment (Segment F-1) of the Grand Parkway would provide for a four-mainline, at-grade, controlled access freeway, with a design speed of 70 miles per hour, within a 400-foot right-of-way. Segments E, F-1, F-2, and G are located approximately 25 to 30 miles to the northwest of the city. Together they will combine to provide a continuous 52-mile highway facility. The Segment F-1 study area is bounded by SH 249 on the northeast, US 290/SH 6 on the southwest, Farm-to-Market 1960 on the south, and the Harris/Montgomery County line on the northwest. Four build alternatives were considered in this draft EIS. The recommended alternative, which has been carried over as the preferred alternative in this final EIS, would provide for a combination of alignments investigated during the design study. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would provide improved access to the existing thoroughfare system, reduce area traffic congestion, improve safety, and improve area-wide mobility. Together with the other Grand Parkway segments in the northwest quadrant, the facility would provide access to Interstate 10 (I-10), US 290. SH 249, and I-45, and US 59. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of one business and 11 residences, 587.7 acres of prime farmland, 163 acres of farmland of statewide and local importance, 3.1 acres of riparian forest, and nine acres of surface waterbodies. The freeway would traverse 71.5 acres within floodplain areas and 111.7 acres within floodways. One historic site could be affected, and the highway would traverse 509 acres of high-probability areas for archaeological resources. Traffic-generated noise levels could exceed federal standards in the vicinity of as many as 39 sensitive receptor sites. Freeway structures would mar visual aesthetics in areas that are currently rural.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of 12.13 miles of highway as a portion of the Grand Parkway in the northwest quadrant of the third loop highway (State Highway (SH) 99) around the city of Houston in Harris County, Texas is proposed. Once completed, the 170-mile circumferential Grand Parkway would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around Houston. The conceptual design for this segment (Segment F-1) of the Grand Parkway would provide for a four-mainline, at-grade, controlled access freeway, with a design speed of 70 miles per hour, within a 400-foot right-of-way. Segments E, F-1, F-2, and G are located approximately 25 to 30 miles to the northwest of the city. Together they will combine to provide a continuous 52-mile highway facility. The Segment F-1 study area is bounded by SH 249 on the northeast, US 290/SH 6 on the southwest, Farm-to-Market 1960 on the south, and the Harris/Montgomery County line on the northwest. Four build alternatives were considered in this draft EIS. The recommended alternative, which has been carried over as the preferred alternative in this final EIS, would provide for a combination of alignments investigated during the design study. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The freeway would provide improved access to the existing thoroughfare system, reduce area traffic congestion, improve safety, and improve area-wide mobility. Together with the other Grand Parkway segments in the northwest quadrant, the facility would provide access to Interstate 10 (I-10), US 290. SH 249, and I-45, and US 59. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of one business and 11 residences, 587.7 acres of prime farmland, 163 acres of farmland of statewide and local importance, 3.1 acres of riparian forest, and nine acres of surface waterbodies. The freeway would traverse 71.5 acres within floodplain areas and 111.7 acres within floodways. One historic site could be affected, and the highway would traverse 509 acres of high-probability areas for archaeological resources. Traffic-generated noise levels could exceed federal standards in the vicinity of as many as 39 sensitive receptor sites. Freeway structures would mar visual aesthetics in areas that are currently rural.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of 12.13 miles of highway as a portion of the Grand Parkway in the northwest quadrant of the third loop highway (State Highway (SH) 99) around the city of Houston in Harris County, Texas is proposed. Once completed, the 170-mile circumferential Grand Parkway would provide access to radial freeways and serve as a third loop around Houston. The conceptual design for this segment (Segment F-1) of the Grand Parkway would provide for a four-mainline, at-grade, controlled access freeway, with a design speed of 70 miles per hour, within a 400-foot right-of-way. Segments E, F-1, F-2, and G are located approximately 25 to 30 miles to the northwest of the city. Together they will combine to provide a continuous 52-mile highway facility. The Segment F-1 study area is bounded by SH 249 on the northeast, US 290/SH 6 on the southwest, Farm-to-Market 1960 on the south, and the Harris/Montgomery County line on the northwest. Four build alternatives were considered in this draft EIS. The recommended alternative, which has been carried over as the preferred alternative in this final EIS, would provide for a combination of alignments investigated during the design study.

T1  - WP&L 300 MW POWER PLANT AT NELSON DEWEY GENERATION STATION IN CASSVILLE, GRANT COUNTY, WISCONSIN. [Part 4 of 4]
T2  - WP&L 300 MW POWER PLANT AT NELSON DEWEY GENERATION STATION IN CASSVILLE, GRANT COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
AN  - 36391948; 13440-080202_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 300-megawatt (MW) coal-fired electric generating facility at the existing Nelson Dewey Generation Station (NED) in Cassville, Grant County, Wisconsin are proposed. The applicant, Wisconsin Power and Light, proposes to build a circulating fluidized bed boiler capable of burning a mixture of fuels, including petroleum coke and biomass, to be known as NED 3. The facility would be designed to burn ranges of fuel up to 10 percent Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming, 100 percent petroleum coke, 10 percent Illinois coal, and any blend of these fuels, along with an unspecified biomass blend of approximately 10 percent. As an alternative, WP&L requests the authority to build a 300-MW facility, to be called COL 3, that would employ a subcritical pulverized coal boiler at the existing Colombia Energy Center (COL) near Portage in Columbia County, Wisconsin. The COL facility would not burn petroleum coke nor would it have the ability to burn biomass beyond a four percent blend. Regardless of the site or the technology chosen, the new unit would require the construction of additional coal transportation facilities, a new cooling tower system, and new transmission facilities. Coal or petroleum coke would be delivered via barge or rail to NED 3 or by rail only to the COL 3 unit. Fuel delivered by rail would use trains of 125 to 150 cars, averaging 115 tons per car. The existing barge unloading facility would be upgraded at NED to allow faster unloading of additional barges. At NED, two new coal car storage tracks and a service road would be constructed north of the Stonefield Historic Site on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp railroad property to receive and assemble unit trains for arrival and departure. Nitrogen oxide generation from NED 3 would be limited using combustion controls, overfire air, and low furnace operating temperatures. COL 3 would control nitrogen oxides largely via low-nitrogen-oxide burners. Sulfur dioxide emissions from NED 3 via wet limestone scrubbers and dry flue gas desulfurization (dry scrubbers). The COL 3 would rely entirely on an a system located outside the boiler consisting of limestone, forced oxidation, wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD). Ash from NED 3 would be combined with the sulfur products of the dry scrubber and placed in landfill space, unless beneficial markets can be identified. Most of the ash from COL 3 would be collected in a baghouse upstream of the FGD system and marketed for beneficial uses. Plant service water for NED 3 would be obtained from groundwater under the Mississippi River, with a maximum consumption (August) of 2,107 gallons per minute (gpm). For COL 3, plant service water would be obtained from the existing cooling pond, with a maximum consumption (August) of 2,502 gallons per minute (gpm). Capital costs for the construction of NED 3 and COL 3 are estimated at $854.8 million and $943.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new plant would assist existing plants, which are aging and suffering from stress due to increased demand, particularly during peak seasons. The amount of power purchased by WP&L from outside sources would decline significantly, making the operation of the applicant's system significantly more efficient and economically viable. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the regional air quality would remain in attainment With respect to federal air quality standards for criterion pollutants, local air quality would decline substantially under either alternative. NED 3 would emit significantly higher levels of greenhouse gases compared to the COL 3 system. Landfilling of combustion wastes from NED 3 would displace a significant proportion of the regional landfill capacity. The NED 3 would remove cooling water from the Mississippi River and return it to the river, creating a thermal plume around the outlet and increasing downstream water temperature. Water from the COL 3 cooling pond would be withdrawn from the Wisconsin River. NED 3 would require 23.9 acres of land to be raised above the base flood elevation of the 100-year floodplain, and the barge unloader expansion would disturbed one acre of river bottom and 0.6 acre permanently displaced, impacting an estimated 4,684 to 5,075 mussels, including 37 to 41 federally protected Higgins' eye mussels and 201 to 218 state-protected mussels. Overwintering habitat for bald eagles could also be affected. NED 3 would displace 10 acres of lowland forest, 16 acres of cropland, and one archaeological site, while COL 3 would displace 61 acres of previously disturbed old field habitat. Trains delivering coal to NED 3 would emit noise at levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - WP&L 300 MW POWER PLANT AT NELSON DEWEY GENERATION STATION IN CASSVILLE, GRANT COUNTY, WISCONSIN. [Part 2 of 4]
T2  - WP&L 300 MW POWER PLANT AT NELSON DEWEY GENERATION STATION IN CASSVILLE, GRANT COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
AN  - 36389758; 13440-080202_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 300-megawatt (MW) coal-fired electric generating facility at the existing Nelson Dewey Generation Station (NED) in Cassville, Grant County, Wisconsin are proposed. The applicant, Wisconsin Power and Light, proposes to build a circulating fluidized bed boiler capable of burning a mixture of fuels, including petroleum coke and biomass, to be known as NED 3. The facility would be designed to burn ranges of fuel up to 10 percent Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming, 100 percent petroleum coke, 10 percent Illinois coal, and any blend of these fuels, along with an unspecified biomass blend of approximately 10 percent. As an alternative, WP&L requests the authority to build a 300-MW facility, to be called COL 3, that would employ a subcritical pulverized coal boiler at the existing Colombia Energy Center (COL) near Portage in Columbia County, Wisconsin. The COL facility would not burn petroleum coke nor would it have the ability to burn biomass beyond a four percent blend. Regardless of the site or the technology chosen, the new unit would require the construction of additional coal transportation facilities, a new cooling tower system, and new transmission facilities. Coal or petroleum coke would be delivered via barge or rail to NED 3 or by rail only to the COL 3 unit. Fuel delivered by rail would use trains of 125 to 150 cars, averaging 115 tons per car. The existing barge unloading facility would be upgraded at NED to allow faster unloading of additional barges. At NED, two new coal car storage tracks and a service road would be constructed north of the Stonefield Historic Site on Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp railroad property to receive and assemble unit trains for arrival and departure. Nitrogen oxide generation from NED 3 would be limited using combustion controls, overfire air, and low furnace operating temperatures. COL 3 would control nitrogen oxides largely via low-nitrogen-oxide burners. Sulfur dioxide emissions from NED 3 via wet limestone scrubbers and dry flue gas desulfurization (dry scrubbers). The COL 3 would rely entirely on an a system located outside the boiler consisting of limestone, forced oxidation, wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD). Ash from NED 3 would be combined with the sulfur products of the dry scrubber and placed in landfill space, unless beneficial markets can be identified. Most of the ash from COL 3 would be collected in a baghouse upstream of the FGD system and marketed for beneficial uses. Plant service water for NED 3 would be obtained from groundwater under the Mississippi River, with a maximum consumption (August) of 2,107 gallons per minute (gpm). For COL 3, plant service water would be obtained from the existing cooling pond, with a maximum consumption (August) of 2,502 gallons per minute (gpm). Capital costs for the construction of NED 3 and COL 3 are estimated at $854.8 million and $943.4 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new plant would assist existing plants, which are aging and suffering from stress due to increased demand, particularly during peak seasons. The amount of power purchased by WP&L from outside sources would decline significantly, making the operation of the applicant's system significantly more efficient and economically viable. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though the regional air quality would remain in attainment With respect to federal air quality standards for criterion pollutants, local air quality would decline substantially under either alternative. NED 3 would emit significantly higher levels of greenhouse gases compared to the COL 3 system. Landfilling of combustion wastes from NED 3 would displace a significant proportion of the regional landfill capacity. The NED 3 would remove cooling water from the Mississippi River and return it to the river, creating a thermal plume around the outlet and increasing downstream water temperature. Water from the COL 3 cooling pond would be withdrawn from the Wisconsin River. NED 3 would require 23.9 acres of land to be raised above the base flood elevation of the 100-year floodplain, and the barge unloader expansion would disturbed one acre of river bottom and 0.6 acre permanently displaced, impacting an estimated 4,684 to 5,075 mussels, including 37 to 41 federally protected Higgins' eye mussels and 201 to 218 state-protected mussels. Overwintering habitat for bald eagles could also be affected. NED 3 would displace 10 acres of lowland forest, 16 acres of cropland, and one archaeological site, while COL 3 would displace 61 acres of previously disturbed old field habitat. Trains delivering coal to NED 3 would emit noise at levels in excess of federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 65-mile segment of transcontinental interstate highway (Interstate 69 (I-69)) beginning at State Route (SR) 385 (Paul Barrett Parkway) in Millington, north to I-155 at Dyersburg in Selby, Tipton, Lauderdale counties, Tennessee is proposed. The facility currently serving the corridor will be heavily congested from the US 51 Bypass around Dyersburg to the I-155 with an unacceptably low level of service by the year 2010. By 2030, virtually all segments of US 51 would be congested, with several segments reaching the lowest gradable level of service. The proposed four-lane, controlled access facility would constitute an independent utility segment of Corridor 18, a congressionally mandated high priority transportation corridor, designated as I-69. Portions of the roadway would follow a new alignment, but one section of one build alternative would following existing US 51. Ten build alternatives, which constitute corridor options and a No-Build Alternative were considered in the draft EIS of September 2005. Costs of the build alternative considered in 2005 ranged from $492.4 million to $601.1 million. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers a new 24-mile alternative located entirely within Lauderdale County. constituting a subalternative of Alternative R, which also extended approximately 24 miles in Lauderdale County. The subalternative (Alternative OAF) would begin at Node K north of the Hatchie River, proceed north to the southeast of Ripley, continue northward through the Pecan Drive residential area, cross Old Brownsville Road 1,000 feet southeast of Skyline Drive, and continue northward to US 51, where an interchange would provide inbound and outbound access. From US 51, the alternative would proceed northeastward across Central Curve Road to Curve Nankipoo Road, and terminate at Node G. Cost of the currently proposed alternative in this corridor is $284.1 million, while the estimated cost of the alternative considered in this draft supplement is $292.8 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to completing an unfinished portion of High Priority Corridor 18 and I-69. Local motorists would benefit from the upgrading of the currently substandard level of service along US 51 within the study corridor in an area where modal connections are substandard to inadequate. Economic development in the region served by the facility would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Respective rights-of-way development impacts of Alternative R and Alternative OAF would result in the displacement of 52 or 53 residences, 1,167 or 1,125 acres of farmland, including 316 or 489 acres of prime and unique farmland, 369 or 386 acres of floodplain, and 16.2 or 39.5 acres of wetlands. Culverts would affect 1,809 or 1,652 linear feet of stream, while bridges would affect 883 or 708 linear feet of stream. Either 4,457 or 3,230 linear feet of stream would be relocated. Regardless of the alternative selected, construction workers would encounter one hazardous waste site.

T1  - Geochemical Characterization of the Upper and Middle Floridan Aquifer System, South Florida
AN  - 744588962; 8511798
AB  - Our study focus is to characterize the water quality and geochemical environment of the Floridan Aquifer System(FAS) throughout the regional flowpath. A synoptic survey of 21 wells (n=15, upper FAS; n=6 middle FAS) wassupplemented by additional samples (n=11) obtained during exploratory well development at 4 aquifer storagerecovery (ASR) pilot sites. Synoptic survey samples were analyzed intensively, yielding a dataset that consists ofmajor and trace dissolved constituents (including metals), stable isotopes (δ 18O, δ 13C, δ D,δ 34S in sulfate and sulfide), carbon species (carbonate alkalinity and organic carbon), uranium-seriesradionuclides, nutrients, and selected microbes and pathogens. The objectives of this study are threefold: 1) toprovide baseline water-quality and geochemical information prior to initiation of ASR activities that are part of theComprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan; 2) to quantify the major controls on geochemical evolution alongupper and middle FAS flowpaths using geochemical modeling methods; and 3) to identify areas where water-quality may limit the feasibility of ASR methods in the FAS.Preliminary interpretations water quality changes along the regional FAS flowpath can be summarized as follows. Concentrations of dissolved constituents increase from north to south along the flow path; generally, the upperFAS has lower total dissolved solids than the middle FAS at locations where well pairs were analyzed. The redoxenvironment changes from oxic to strongly anoxic, very close to the recharge area. Redox measurements,dissolved iron, sulfide, and sulfur isotope data are consistent with sulfate-reducing conditions. Uranium-seriesisotope concentrations and activities generally are below regulatory criteria, with few exceptions in both the upperand middle FAS. Areas with greater radionuclide activity occur primarily at distal flowpath locations or at the coast.

T1  - The role of metabolism in the toxicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its degradation products to the aquatic amphipod Hyalella azteca.
AN  - 70445946; 17980428
AB  - Toxicological data on the effects of the explosive, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and its degradation products suggests an unpredictable toxicological response in aquatic organisms. Several studies suggest TNT becomes more toxic as it degrades while others suggest TNT becomes less toxic. This study focused on the toxicity of TNT and several degradation products as well as the role of oxidative metabolism in the toxicity of TNT. The aquatic invertebrate Hyalella azteca was used to evaluate the toxicity of TNT and four of its degradation products. The most reduced degradation product, 2,4-diamino, 6-nitrotoluene (2,4-DANT) was the most toxic to H. azteca. However, 2,4-DANT was only a minor metabolite in H. azteca. The influence of metabolism on the toxicokinetics of TNT was assessed indirectly through the use of a CYP450 inducer and inhibitor. Treatment of organisms with beta-napthoflavone (BNF), a CYP450 inducer, increased the toxicity of TNT and increased the rate of elimination and metabolism of TNT. Similar to BNF, organisms treated with clotrimazole (CTZ), a CYP450 inhibitor, resulted in increased toxicity and TNT metabolism. It is likely the ability to metabolize or bioactivate TNT to a more reactive intermediate plays a significant role in the sensitivity of organisms to TNT.

T1  - Immobilization of DNAzyme catalytic beacons on PMMA for Pb2+ detection.
AN  - 69129044; 18432350
AB  - Due to the numerous toxicological effects of lead, its presence in the environment needs to be effectively monitored. Incorporating a biosensing element within a microfluidic platform enables rapid and reliable determinations of lead at trace levels. A microchip-based lead sensor is described here that employs a lead-specific DNAzyme (also called catalytic DNA or deoxyribozyme) as a recognition element that cleaves its complementary substrate DNA strand only in the presence of cationic lead (Pb(2+)). Fluorescent tags on the DNAzyme translate the cleavage events to measurable, optical signals proportional to Pb(2+) concentration. The DNAzyme responds sensitively and selectively to Pb(2+), and immobilizing DNAzyme in the sensor permits both sensor regeneration and localization of the detection zone. Here, the DNAzyme has been immobilized on a PMMA surface using the highly specific biotin-streptavidin interaction. The strategy includes using streptavidin physisorbed on a PMMA surface to immobilize DNAzyme both on planar PMMA and on the walls of a PMMA microfluidic device. The immobilized DNAzyme retains its Pb(2+) detection activity in the microfluidic device and can be regenerated and reused. The DNAzyme shows no response to other common metal cations and the presence of these contaminants does not interfere with the lead-induced fluorescence signal. While prior work has shown lead-specific catalytic DNA can be used in its solubilized form and while attached to gold substrates to quantitate Pb(2+) in solution, this is the first use of the DNAzyme immobilized within a microfluidic platform for real time Pb(2+) detection.

T1  - Interpretation of a progressive slope movement using balanced cross sections and numerical integration
AN  - 50621835; 2008-110266
AB  - Gaussian quadrature, a numerical integration technique through fixed points, is applied to improve accuracy and efficiency in the cross-section balance modeling of a slope subjected to progressive displacements. This integration is employed to compute geometrical areas of individual stratigraphic units that have participated in the deformation. Given the initial and final states of a natural slope in which progressive failure has been carefully monitored for 7 years, the internal geometry of four stratigraphic layers that were displaced in a manner that characterizes the displacement kinematics of the entire slope has been analyzed. The area differences between the initial and final sections for three of the layers are zero. A fourth, basal, layer shows a unit area reduction of 13 percent, which can be accounted for by toe erosion. This implies that the total internal geometric area is found to be preserved during the course of the progressive deformation, a fact that is evident in repeated ground surveys conducted during the 7-year history of displacement. Also, factors of safety computed for the basal surface of slip at the initial and final stages of displacement monitoring demonstrate that the slope became less stable over a period of 7 years as a result of the progressive failure. Such a reduction in stability would be difficult to quantify without the application of numerical integration that allows the accurate construction of area-balanced geometrical models in a digital format amenable to validation and stability analysis.

T1  - Modeling water and sediment contamination of Lake Pontchartrain following pump-out of Hurricane Katrina floodwater
AN  - 36826806; 3516130
AB  - Levee failure and overtopping as a result of Hurricane Katrina caused major flooding of New Orleans, Louisiana. Floodwaters, which were contaminated with heavy metals, organic chemicals, and fecal coliform bacteria (FCB), were pumped into neighboring Lake Pontchartrain during dewatering. The impact of levee failure on water and benthic sediment concentrations in the lake was investigated by applying a numerical water quality model coupled to a three-dimensional, numerical hydrodynamic model. The model was used to compute water and benthic sediment concentrations throughout the lake for lead, arsenic, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE), and water concentrations for FCB. Computed concentrations resulting from actual pumped discharges with levee failure and overtopping were compared to computed concentrations resulting from pumped discharges without levee failure or overtopping, and concentrations from both sets of conditions were compared to ecological water and sediment quality screening guideline values. The model indicated that incremental increases above pre-Katrina benthic sediment concentrations are about a factor of 10 greater with dewatering of the floodwaters than with dewatering of storm water without flooding. However, these increases for the metals are small relative to pre-Katrina concentrations. The results showed that the ecological screening-level sediment quality guideline values were exceeded for BaP and DDE in areas near the south shoreline of the lake as a result of floodwater pump-out, whereas, this was not the case for storm water removal without flooding. The model showed that lake water column concentrations should be about the same during both dewatering conditions regardless of whether there is flooding or not. All rights reserved, Elsevier

T1  - RIO DEL ORO SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (RECIRULATED DRAFT AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 2006).
AN  - 36410686; 13410
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a mixed-use development within the 3,828-acre Rio del Oro Specific Plan area in the city of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County, California is proposed. The project site is located in eastern Sacramento County, south of US 50. More specifically, the site is bounded on the north by White Rock Road, on the south by Douglas Road, and on the east by Sunrise Boulevard. Five design alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 5) were considered in the December 2006 draft EIS, which has been amended and recirculated as the draft EIS at hand. This recirculated draft considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. The proposed project (Alternative 1), which continues to be the preferred alternative, would split buildout into five phases to take place over a 25- to 30-year period. The design would provide for the construction of 11,601 residential dwelling units in three residential land use classification on 1,920 acres. Commercial land use would include Village Commercial, Local Town Center, and Regional Town Center areas, together providing 153 acres of shopping centers. The plan would include an 86 acre business park and a 282-acre industrial park. Other land uses would include 63 acres of neighborhood recreational parks, 54 acres of private recreational facilities, 9.5 acres of public/quasi-public use areas, 44 acres of landscaped corridor, and 50 acres of greenbelt. Two elderberry preserve areas, totaling 24 acres, would be designated. In addition to 155 acres of drainage parkways, 39 acres of stormwater detention basins would be created in three separate locations. A 507-acre wetland preserve area would be situated in the southern portion of the project site. Designated school uses include allotments of 78 acres for a middle school/high school facility, with an adjacent 87-acre community park, a separate 20-acres middle school site, and 54 acres for six elementary schools. Approximately 227 acres would be allowed for roadways and the associated landscaping, along with a network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Water supply, sewer, electrical, natural gas conveyance, and telecommunications infrastructure would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development would provide housing and employment in a rabidly growing area of southern California. Orderly development of the site would prevent urban sprawl and blight NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The community would conflict with California Department of Education minimum size criteria for signing of schools. Construction would damage or destroy historically significant buildings and other structures. An undeveloped, rural area would be converted to a densely developed multiple-use tract, destroying vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, damaging streams and wetlands, and degrading visual aesthetics. The development would result in highly significant increases in traffic, locally and regionally. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the original draft EIS, see 07-0053D, Volume 31, Number 1.

AN  - 36397293; 13451-080213_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in this final draft EIS, the mine would be expanded into a 4,135-acre area of the study area located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 4,135 acres constituting waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced, including wetlands adjacent to the Pamlico River and South and Durham creeks. Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1241.), and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft EIS and other related documents, see 06-0504D, Volume 30, Number 4, 07-0337D, Volume 31, Number 3 and 07-0452D, Volume 31, Number 4, respectively.

Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer.

T2  - PCS PHOSPHATE MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2006).
AN  - 36390975; 13451-080213_0010
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in this final draft EIS, the mine would be expanded into a 4,135-acre area of the study area located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 4,135 acres constituting waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced, including wetlands adjacent to the Pamlico River and South and Durham creeks. Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds.

T2  - PCS PHOSPHATE MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2006).
AN  - 36384865; 13451-080213_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in this final draft EIS, the mine would be expanded into a 4,135-acre area of the study area located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 4,135 acres constituting waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced, including wetlands adjacent to the Pamlico River and South and Durham creeks. Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1241.), and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - RIO DEL ORO SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (RECIRULATED DRAFT AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 2006). [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - RIO DEL ORO SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (RECIRULATED DRAFT AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF DECEMBER 2006).
AN  - 36383140; 13410-080172_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a mixed-use development within the 3,828-acre Rio del Oro Specific Plan area in the city of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County, California is proposed. The project site is located in eastern Sacramento County, south of US 50. More specifically, the site is bounded on the north by White Rock Road, on the south by Douglas Road, and on the east by Sunrise Boulevard. Five design alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 5) were considered in the December 2006 draft EIS, which has been amended and recirculated as the draft EIS at hand. This recirculated draft considers three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. The proposed project (Alternative 1), which continues to be the preferred alternative, would split buildout into five phases to take place over a 25- to 30-year period. The design would provide for the construction of 11,601 residential dwelling units in three residential land use classification on 1,920 acres. Commercial land use would include Village Commercial, Local Town Center, and Regional Town Center areas, together providing 153 acres of shopping centers. The plan would include an 86 acre business park and a 282-acre industrial park. Other land uses would include 63 acres of neighborhood recreational parks, 54 acres of private recreational facilities, 9.5 acres of public/quasi-public use areas, 44 acres of landscaped corridor, and 50 acres of greenbelt. Two elderberry preserve areas, totaling 24 acres, would be designated. In addition to 155 acres of drainage parkways, 39 acres of stormwater detention basins would be created in three separate locations. A 507-acre wetland preserve area would be situated in the southern portion of the project site. Designated school uses include allotments of 78 acres for a middle school/high school facility, with an adjacent 87-acre community park, a separate 20-acres middle school site, and 54 acres for six elementary schools. Approximately 227 acres would be allowed for roadways and the associated landscaping, along with a network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Water supply, sewer, electrical, natural gas conveyance, and telecommunications infrastructure would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development would provide housing and employment in a rabidly growing area of southern California. Orderly development of the site would prevent urban sprawl and blight NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The community would conflict with California Department of Education minimum size criteria for signing of schools. Construction would damage or destroy historically significant buildings and other structures. An undeveloped, rural area would be converted to a densely developed multiple-use tract, destroying vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, damaging streams and wetlands, and degrading visual aesthetics. The development would result in highly significant increases in traffic, locally and regionally. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the original draft EIS, see 07-0053D, Volume 31, Number 1.

AN  - 36379414; 13451-080213_0009
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in this final draft EIS, the mine would be expanded into a 4,135-acre area of the study area located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 4,135 acres constituting waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced, including wetlands adjacent to the Pamlico River and South and Durham creeks. Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer.

T1  - Soil response model verification: A multi-year study of foot traffic impact
AN  - 20817863; 8289750
AB  - The purpose of this research is to build upon the baseline study of soil compaction response to trampling previously conducted. Although trampling studies have been conducted in the past, the analysis of military training, in part, provides a different perspective and approach. The baseline data showed bulk densities remained relatively constant for a time and then began to increase at an increasing rate for several hundred passes and finally leveled and remained at or below 1.30 gm/cm super(3) through the remainder of the experiment. A mathematical model was created based on empirical data from the trampling experiment using a gamma cumulative distribution function. Subsequent similar experiments were conducted over the following 2 years to verify the baseline model soil response. The follow-on data were modeled using the same gamma distribution function with good results. The model replicated the soil response for the subsequent years well with the exception of the initial threshold which was dramatically reduced for both years. The experiments and the resulting model give quantifiable continuous inference on the effects of trampling, as opposed to the existing qualitative assessments. This model performed well and can be used as a foundation for future studies of land management when trampling occurs.

T1  - Habitat fragmentation and genetic diversity of an endangered, migratory songbird, the golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia)
AN  - 20775002; 8226023
AB  - Landscape genetic approaches offer the promise of increasing our understanding of the influence of habitat features on genetic structure. We assessed the genetic diversity of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) across their breeding range in central Texas and evaluated the role of habitat loss and fragmentation in shaping the population structure of the species. We determined genotypes across nine microsatellite loci of 109 individuals from seven sites representing the major breeding concentrations of the species. No evidence of a recent population bottleneck was found. Differences in allele frequencies were highly significant among sites. The sampled sites do not appear to represent isolated lineages requiring protection as separate management units, although the amount of current gene flow is insufficient to prevent genetic differentiation. Measures of genetic differentiation were negatively associated with habitat connectivity and the percentage of forest cover between sites, and positively associated with geographic distance and the percentage of agricultural land between sites. The northernmost site was the most genetically differentiated and was isolated from other sites by agricultural lands. Fragmentation of breeding habitat may represent barriers to dispersal of birds which would pose no barrier to movement during other activities such as migration.

T1  - Geology of the New Orleans Area and the Canal Levee Failures
AN  - 19602886; 8179418
AB  - The geologic history of the New Orleans area significantly influences the engineering properties of the foundation soils beneath the levees. Geologic and engineering data gathered from the levee breaches identify a spatially complex geomorphic landscape, caused by Holocene sea level rise, lateral changes in depositional environments, development of Mississippi River delta lobes, and the distributary channels associated with delta development. Overlying the Pleistocene surface beneath New Orleans are predominantly fine-grained, shallow water sediments associated with bay sound (or estuarine), nearshore-gulf, sandy beach, lacustrine, interdistributary, and paludal (marsh and swamp) environments. These environments define the New Orleans area history during the Holocene and comprise the levee foundation beneath the failure areas. A barrier beach ridge is present in the subsurface along the southern shore of Lake Ponchartrain, which blocked the filling of the lake with fluvial-deltaic sediments. This buried beach impacted the supply and texture of sediment being deposited by advancing distributary channels and influenced the engineering properties of these soils. Marsh and swamp soils beneath the failure area at the 17th Street Canal are much thicker in comparison to those beneath the London Avenue Canal failures because of the influence of the beach complex, and are thickest in the Industrial Canal area. Additionally, human activities in the New Orleans area during historic time contributed to the spatial complexity and affected the engineering properties of the foundation soils. These activities include construction of drainage and navigation canals, groundwater pumping, hydraulic filling of the Lake Ponchartrain lake front, and construction of levees to prevent river flooding. Human activities, combined with the geologic setting and subsidence in this region, are responsible for the unique landscape that was impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

T1  - PCS PHOSPHATE MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2006).
AN  - 16376311; 13451
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in this final draft EIS, the mine would be expanded into a 4,135-acre area of the study area located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 4,135 acres constituting waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced, including wetlands adjacent to the Pamlico River and South and Durham creeks. Displaced resources would include seven areas of creeks, 72 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, 333 acres of herbaceous assemblage, 446 acres of scrub-shrub assemblage, 641 acres of pine plantation, 1,075 acres of upland hardwood forest, 910 acres of mixed pine-hardwood forest, 353 acres of pine forest, 264 acres of pocosin-bay forest, 22 acres of sand ridge forest, and 11 acres of ponds. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer.

T1  - Simulating Regional Groundwater Flow Patterns in South Florida Using Density-Dependent Numerical Models
AN  - 1521413424; 8511800
AB  - Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) is the storage of fresh water in an aquifer via injection during times whenwater is available, and recovery of the water from the same aquifer via pumping during times when it is needed.ASR is one of the proposed alternatives recommended by the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan(CERP) to help with water supply, storage, and distribution of water in South Florida. To evaluate the numerousdesign considerations and the variation in aquifer response resulting from CERP ASR, regional density-dependent numerical modeling of the Floridan Aquifer System (FAS) in the southern half of Florida is in progress. This modeling incorporates use of two density-dependent numerical codes, SEAWAT and WASH123D, and thesynthesis of regional knowledge of the FAS in terms of geologic parameters, groundwater flow patterns, andsalinity influences. Several challenges have been discovered in replicating the existing regional groundwater flow patterns, most notably, that in south-central Florida the simulated heads are considerably lower than observedvalues. Recent model studies of several factors that could affect south Florida regional flow patterns indicate thatthe inclusion of preferential flow as well as the effects of temperature on groundwater density yield results that are more consistent with observed values. Future work will focus on the investigation of field data to support theapplication of preferential flow and the addition of groundwater injection and withdrawal including existing andproposed ASR projects.

T1  - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (RECIRCULATED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36409432; 13407
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop on the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge on the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109. Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 41,000 cubic yards of berthing space, installation of 10 new A-frame cranes at berths 100 and 102, provision of transportation infrastructure improvements in the vicini8ty of the existing terminal entrance, construction of two new bride structures connecting the Berth 97-109 terminal and Berth the 121-131 terminal across the Southwest Slip, relocation of the Catalina Terminal to south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge at Berth 95, and establishment by Los Angeles Harbor of a 40-year lease (2005 to 2045) with China Shipping Lines to operate the Berth 97-109 Container Terminal. The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tugs for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of the draft EIS of August 2006, which has been retracted for amendment and is being recirculated in the amended form as the draft EIS at hand. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

T1  - NORTHERN INTEGRATED SUPPLY PROJECT, NORTHERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 36409395; 13405
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a water storage and supply system, to be known as the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP), in Larimer and Weld counties, Colorado are proposed. As proposed by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, the main component of the NISP would consist of a reservoir (Glade Reservoir) with a capacity of 170,00 acre-feet (AF), an associated forebay, pumping station, and diversion structure and canal upgrade to convey water diverted from the Cache la Poudre River to the reservoir. A pipeline connecting the Glade Reservoir to the existing Horsetooth Reservoir would be provided. The NISP would also include the construction and operation of a 40,000-AF reservoir (Galeton Reservoir), an associated forebay, pumping station, and pipeline to deliver water diverted from the South Platte River to Galeton Reservoir. Water exchanges between the Galeton and Glade reservoir diversion locations would be arranged. The project would be a collaborative effort of 12 water providers, facilitated and coordinated by the Conservancy District, to provide 40,000 AF of new reliable water supply to meet a portion of the water providers' estimated supply needs through 2050. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 is the foregoing proposal. Alternative 3 would provide for a 180,000-AF impoundment (Cactus Hill Reservoir) and a 40,000-AF impoundment (Galeton Reservoir. Alternative 4 would provide either the Glade Reservoir or the Cactus Hill Reservoir as well as the Galeton Reservoir at 20,000 AF and 12,000 AF of agricultural transfers. Two alternative alignments are evaluated with respect to the relocation of US 287; a seven-mile section of the existing highway would be inundated by the Glade Reservoir. Cost of alternatives 2, 3, and 4 are estimated at $426 million, $452.2 million, and $570 million to $496 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed action would allow the 12 participating water suppliers to avoid shortfalls with respect to their water municipal and industrial supply commitments through 2050. Without the NISP, all 12 participants would experience greater shortfalls through each of the next 50 years. the new reservoirs and associated delivery infrastructure would also prevent the conversion of 69,200 acres of currently productive irrigated farmland to dry land uses. The Glade Reservoir would provide for public recreation valued at $17.1 million per year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the proposed action, the new reservoir would inundate 44 acres of wetlands, 2,705 to 2,807 acres of plant communities, and 50 acres of habitat for the federally protected Preble's meadow jumping mouse. Regardless of the action alternative selected, the project would reduce streamflows in the Cache la Poudre River and South Platte River. Flows in the Cache la Poudre River would be diverted with the Conservancy District's Grey Mountain water right, currently not a responsibility of the District, became a priority; the greatest changes in flow would occur during the late spring and early summer, affecting flows along 55 miles of the river form the Pourdre Valley Canal to the confluence of the South Platte River. All action alternatives would also divert water from the Cache la Poudre River to the Poudre Valley Canal; the water would be diverted from the section of the river extending 23 miles from the canal downstream to approximately two miles south of Timnath. Public recreation at the Glade Reservoir would seasonally increase traffic in the vicinity. One alternative considered for the relocation of US 287 would require a rock cut through the Morrison Formation, a known fossiliferous formation.

T1  - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (RECIRCULATED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). [Part 13 of 17]
T2  - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (RECIRCULATED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36391020; 13407-080169_0013
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop on the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge on the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109. Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 41,000 cubic yards of berthing space, installation of 10 new A-frame cranes at berths 100 and 102, provision of transportation infrastructure improvements in the vicini8ty of the existing terminal entrance, construction of two new bride structures connecting the Berth 97-109 terminal and Berth the 121-131 terminal across the Southwest Slip, relocation of the Catalina Terminal to south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge at Berth 95, and establishment by Los Angeles Harbor of a 40-year lease (2005 to 2045) with China Shipping Lines to operate the Berth 97-109 Container Terminal. The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tugs for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of the draft EIS of August 2006, which has been retracted for amendment and is being recirculated in the amended form as the draft EIS at hand. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tugs for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of the draft EIS of August 2006, which has been retracted for amendment and is being recirculated in the amended form as the draft EIS at hand. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop on the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge on the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109.

T1  - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (RECIRCULATED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). [Part 2 of 17]
T2  - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA (RECIRCULATED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36384076; 13407-080169_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop on the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge on the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109. Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 41,000 cubic yards of berthing space, installation of 10 new A-frame cranes at berths 100 and 102, provision of transportation infrastructure improvements in the vicini8ty of the existing terminal entrance, construction of two new bride structures connecting the Berth 97-109 terminal and Berth the 121-131 terminal across the Southwest Slip, relocation of the Catalina Terminal to south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge at Berth 95, and establishment by Los Angeles Harbor of a 40-year lease (2005 to 2045) with China Shipping Lines to operate the Berth 97-109 Container Terminal. The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tugs for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of the draft EIS of August 2006, which has been retracted for amendment and is being recirculated in the amended form as the draft EIS at hand. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the August 2006 draft EIS, see 06-0612D, Volume 30, Number 4.

Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 41,000 cubic yards of berthing space, installation of 10 new A-frame cranes at berths 100 and 102, provision of transportation infrastructure improvements in the vicini8ty of the existing terminal entrance, construction of two new bride structures connecting the Berth 97-109 terminal and Berth the 121-131 terminal across the Southwest Slip, relocation of the Catalina Terminal to south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge at Berth 95, and establishment by Los Angeles Harbor of a 40-year lease (2005 to 2045) with China Shipping Lines to operate the Berth 97-109 Container Terminal. The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tugs for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of the draft EIS of August 2006, which has been retracted for amendment and is being recirculated in the amended form as the draft EIS at hand. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

T1  - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON.
AN  - 36415730; 13399
AB  - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. I-5 is one of two major north-south highways providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The study area extends five miles along the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. This section of the interstate includes six interchanges that connect the facility to three state highways, providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The current bridge crossing has become congested do to growing traffic demand, impeding passenger and freight movement. The structure provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion. The existing crossing is a draw bridge, hampering both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. These conditions and poor highway geometrics have contributed to the excessive number of accidents reported for the study corridor (300 annually). The area underlying the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake as neither bridge was built to current seismic standards. This draft EIS considers four multi-modal build alternatives that propose either replacing or rehabilitating the existing bridges, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These alternatives also incorporate the possibility of tolling and implementing transportation system management and demand measures. The multimodal components of the alternatives represent various combinations of bridges carrying transit, highway, and bicycle and pedestrian traffic; bicycle and pedestrian improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver; and highway and interchange improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver. In addition, the alternatives offer various means of implementing high-capacity transit modes, transit terminus and alignment options, transit operations options regarding the frequency or train or bus rapid transit service, bridge tolls, and system and demand management options. In addition to the alternatives described above, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to vastly improving the automobile between the two cities as well as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle options, the bridge improvement project would enhance movements of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail structurally during an earthquake. Highly significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion, better access to nonvehicular means of crossing the river, and the presence of rapid transit options. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $3.1 billion to $4.1 billion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in numerous commercial and residential displacements. Transportation developments within the study corridor would also impact wetlands. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places would be affected. Runoff from impervious surfaces created by the project would increase substantially and the overall amount of toxic pollutants contained in the runoff would increase as well. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed automobile and transit traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges.

T2  - SPARROWS POINT LNG TERMINAL AND PIPELINE PROJECT (DOCKET NOS. CP07-62-000, CP07-63-000, CP07-64-000, CP07-65-000), BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36391287; 13396-080162_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, including an LNG ship berth and unloading facilities, on Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, Maryland is proposed, along with associated regional pipeline facilities. The terminal would be constructed, owned, and operated by AES Sparrows Point LNG, LLC. terminal would include a ship unloading facility with two berths, capable of receiving LNG ships with capacities up to 217,000 cubic (cm); three 160,000-cm (net capacity) full-containment LNG storage tanks, each comprised of a nine-percent nickel inner, a pre-stressed concrete outer tank, and a concrete roof; a closed-loop shell and tube heat vaporization system; a 118-acre berthing area dredged to a depth of 45 feet; and various ancillary facilities, including administrative offices, warehouse, main control room, security building, and platform control room. The terminal would be capable of unloading LNG ships, storing up to 480,000 cm of LNG (10.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent), vaporizing the LNG, and sending out natural gas at a baseload rate of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd). Mid-Atlantic Express would interconnect the terminal with three interstate natural gas pipeline systems. The pipeline connection would consist of 88 miles of 30-inch natural gas pipeline, including 48 miles in Maryland and 40 miles in Pennsylvania, a pig launcher and receiver facility at each terminus of the pipeline, nine mainline valves, and three meter regulation stations, one at each of three interconnections at the end of the pipeline. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative LNG terminal sites, and alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide facilities necessary to import, store, and vaporize an average of 1.5 billion Bcfd of liquefied natural gas to provide a competitive supply of natural gas to local industrial customers and other energy-consuming customers in Texas, and deliver natural gas to existing interstate natural gas pipelines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,801.4 acres would be disturbed during construction activities. Terminal construction would require dredging of 3.7 million cubic yards of sediment; subsequent maintenance dredging would require the dredging of 500,000 cubic yards of sediment every six years. Releases of sediments into the Patapsco River during dredging operations would degrade water quality and dredging would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos. The terminal would lie within an area affected by ozone and particulate levels in excess of federal air quality standard thresholds. Pipeline construction would affect 177 surface waterbodies and 19.4 acres of wetlands and permanently convert 4.5 acres of forested wetlands to scrub/shrub wetlands. The pipeline would cross within 50 feet of 179 residences and 46 other buildings. Pipeline construction could affect wells and septic systems. The project would affect five aboveground architectural sites, three of which could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The pipeline would affect 10 archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the register. Construction workers would encounter contaminated soils at the terminal site.

AN  - 36389521; 13396-080162_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, including an LNG ship berth and unloading facilities, on Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, Maryland is proposed, along with associated regional pipeline facilities. The terminal would be constructed, owned, and operated by AES Sparrows Point LNG, LLC. terminal would include a ship unloading facility with two berths, capable of receiving LNG ships with capacities up to 217,000 cubic (cm); three 160,000-cm (net capacity) full-containment LNG storage tanks, each comprised of a nine-percent nickel inner, a pre-stressed concrete outer tank, and a concrete roof; a closed-loop shell and tube heat vaporization system; a 118-acre berthing area dredged to a depth of 45 feet; and various ancillary facilities, including administrative offices, warehouse, main control room, security building, and platform control room. The terminal would be capable of unloading LNG ships, storing up to 480,000 cm of LNG (10.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent), vaporizing the LNG, and sending out natural gas at a baseload rate of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd). Mid-Atlantic Express would interconnect the terminal with three interstate natural gas pipeline systems. The pipeline connection would consist of 88 miles of 30-inch natural gas pipeline, including 48 miles in Maryland and 40 miles in Pennsylvania, a pig launcher and receiver facility at each terminus of the pipeline, nine mainline valves, and three meter regulation stations, one at each of three interconnections at the end of the pipeline. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative LNG terminal sites, and alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide facilities necessary to import, store, and vaporize an average of 1.5 billion Bcfd of liquefied natural gas to provide a competitive supply of natural gas to local industrial customers and other energy-consuming customers in Texas, and deliver natural gas to existing interstate natural gas pipelines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 1,801.4 acres would be disturbed during construction activities. Terminal construction would require dredging of 3.7 million cubic yards of sediment; subsequent maintenance dredging would require the dredging of 500,000 cubic yards of sediment every six years. Releases of sediments into the Patapsco River during dredging operations would degrade water quality and dredging would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos. The terminal would lie within an area affected by ozone and particulate levels in excess of federal air quality standard thresholds. Pipeline construction would affect 177 surface waterbodies and 19.4 acres of wetlands and permanently convert 4.5 acres of forested wetlands to scrub/shrub wetlands. The pipeline would cross within 50 feet of 179 residences and 46 other buildings. Pipeline construction could affect wells and septic systems. The project would affect five aboveground architectural sites, three of which could be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The pipeline would affect 10 archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the register. Construction workers would encounter contaminated soils at the terminal site.

T1  - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON. [Part 4 of 4]
T2  - INTERSTATE 5, COLUMBIA RIVER CROSSING PROJECT, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON AND PORTLAND, OREGON.
AN  - 36380427; 13399-080165_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. I-5 is one of two major north-south highways providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The study area extends five miles along the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. This section of the interstate includes six interchanges that connect the facility to three state highways, providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The current bridge crossing has become congested do to growing traffic demand, impeding passenger and freight movement. The structure provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion. The existing crossing is a draw bridge, hampering both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. These conditions and poor highway geometrics have contributed to the excessive number of accidents reported for the study corridor (300 annually). The area underlying the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake as neither bridge was built to current seismic standards. This draft EIS considers four multi-modal build alternatives that propose either replacing or rehabilitating the existing bridges, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These alternatives also incorporate the possibility of tolling and implementing transportation system management and demand measures. The multimodal components of the alternatives represent various combinations of bridges carrying transit, highway, and bicycle and pedestrian traffic; bicycle and pedestrian improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver; and highway and interchange improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver. In addition, the alternatives offer various means of implementing high-capacity transit modes, transit terminus and alignment options, transit operations options regarding the frequency or train or bus rapid transit service, bridge tolls, and system and demand management options. In addition to the alternatives described above, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to vastly improving the automobile between the two cities as well as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle options, the bridge improvement project would enhance movements of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail structurally during an earthquake. Highly significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion, better access to nonvehicular means of crossing the river, and the presence of rapid transit options. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $3.1 billion to $4.1 billion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in numerous commercial and residential displacements. Transportation developments within the study corridor would also impact wetlands. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places would be affected. Runoff from impervious surfaces created by the project would increase substantially and the overall amount of toxic pollutants contained in the runoff would increase as well. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed automobile and transit traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: Replacement or rehabilitation of the Interstate 5 (I-5) bridges across the Columbia River connecting Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington is proposed. I-5 is the only interstate corridor on the West Coast connecting Canada to Mexico and one of the only two highways crossing the Columbia River in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan Area. I-5 is one of two major north-south highways providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The study area extends five miles along the I-5 corridor from State Route 500 in Vancouver to a point just short of Columbia Boulevard in Portland. This section of the interstate includes six interchanges that connect the facility to three state highways, providing interstate connectivity and mobility. The current bridge crossing has become congested do to growing traffic demand, impeding passenger and freight movement. The structure provides for only limited public transportation operation, connectivity, and reliability. Close interchange spacing contributes to congestion. The existing crossing is a draw bridge, hampering both river navigation and vehicular traffic flow. These conditions and poor highway geometrics have contributed to the excessive number of accidents reported for the study corridor (300 annually). The area underlying the bridges is subject to extreme seismic activity and the foundations of both bridges, one built in 1917 and the other in 1958, could liquefy during a major earthquake as neither bridge was built to current seismic standards. This draft EIS considers four multi-modal build alternatives that propose either replacing or rehabilitating the existing bridges, provide highway improvements, either extend light rail or provide rapid transit along one of several transit alignment and length options, and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These alternatives also incorporate the possibility of tolling and implementing transportation system management and demand measures. The multimodal components of the alternatives represent various combinations of bridges carrying transit, highway, and bicycle and pedestrian traffic; bicycle and pedestrian improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver; and highway and interchange improvements between north Portland and downtown Vancouver. In addition, the alternatives offer various means of implementing high-capacity transit modes, transit terminus and alignment options, transit operations options regarding the frequency or train or bus rapid transit service, bridge tolls, and system and demand management options. In addition to the alternatives described above, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1). POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to vastly improving the automobile between the two cities as well as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle options, the bridge improvement project would enhance movements of goods and persons from western Canada to all points south. The crossing would no longer constitute a vehicular safety problem, nor would it be as likely as the existing structure to fail structurally during an earthquake. Highly significant reductions in air pollutant emissions would be achieved due to less vehicular congestion, better access to nonvehicular means of crossing the river, and the presence of rapid transit options. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $3.1 billion to $4.1 billion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in numerous commercial and residential displacements. Transportation developments within the study corridor would also impact wetlands. Up to three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic places would be affected. Runoff from impervious surfaces created by the project would increase substantially and the overall amount of toxic pollutants contained in the runoff would increase as well. Numerous sensitive receptors would be exposed automobile and transit traffic-generated noise in excess of federal standards. Regardless of the engineering improvements achieved by the project, serious seismic events could result in significant damage to the bridges. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - US 50 CROSSING STUDY, MD 611 TO MD 378; AND THIRD STREET TO SOMERSET STREET, WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36424258; 13388
AB  - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation or replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge across Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft EIS. The study corridor extends westward from Maryland Highway (MD) 611 to MD 378. US 50 is a primary highway connecting Ocean City to points west, including the remainder of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The 64-year-old bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to its narrow curb-to-curb roadway width, which is substandard for the traffic volumes that it accommodates, particularly during summer months when recreational traffic is particularly heavy. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would involve rehabilitation of the existing bridge, along with the addition of a separate fishing pier, wider sidewalks, and aesthetic improvements. Alternative 4 would provide for new slightly curved high-level fixed span bridge with four lanes, retaining the existing bridge for use by bicyclists, pedestrians, and fisherman. Alternative 5 would provide for a new four-lane bridge just south of the existing US 50 crossing, tying back into Division Street. The bridge would have a higher draw span to reduce the number of bridge openings. This alternative would also retain the existing bridge as a separate facility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and fishermen. Alternative 5A would include a new four-lane bridge just north of the existing US 50 crossing, typing back into Division Street. Except for the location of the crossing, Alternative 5A would mimic Alternative 5. Alternatives 3, 6, and 7 were dropped from detailed consideration. Costs of Alternatives 2, 4, 5, and 5A are estimated at $107 million, $340 million, $289 million, and $268 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would rectify the operational inadequacies and structural deficiencies of the bridge as well as improve the safety for all users of the US 50 crossing of the Sinepuxent Bay. The new bridge would provide a safe and efficient crossing of the bay not only for the hundreds of thousands who access Ocean City each summer, but also for residents and recreationists who will use the crossing as a hurricane evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for new bridge construction (Alternative 4, 5, and 5a) three to 5.5 acres would the displacement of two to 12 businesses and six to 13 residences. New build alternatives would also result in the partial loss of a small tidal wetland along the north side of US 50 at the western edge of the bay. New build alternatives would encroach 1.1 to 4.3 acres of 100-year floodplain. The project would create 0.5 to 5.6 acres of new impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff into the bay. Dredging and other construction activities would disturb bay bottom sediments and cause fish to avoid the area temporarily, which is considered essential fish habitat. Marine turtles listed as protected by federal authorities could occur in the area during construction. Construction workers could encounter as many as 11 hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T2  - US 50 CROSSING STUDY, MD 611 TO MD 378; AND THIRD STREET TO SOMERSET STREET, WORCESTER COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36387827; 13388-080154_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation or replacement of the Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge across Sinepuxent Bay in Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft EIS. The study corridor extends westward from Maryland Highway (MD) 611 to MD 378. US 50 is a primary highway connecting Ocean City to points west, including the remainder of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The 64-year-old bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to its narrow curb-to-curb roadway width, which is substandard for the traffic volumes that it accommodates, particularly during summer months when recreational traffic is particularly heavy. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would involve rehabilitation of the existing bridge, along with the addition of a separate fishing pier, wider sidewalks, and aesthetic improvements. Alternative 4 would provide for new slightly curved high-level fixed span bridge with four lanes, retaining the existing bridge for use by bicyclists, pedestrians, and fisherman. Alternative 5 would provide for a new four-lane bridge just south of the existing US 50 crossing, tying back into Division Street. The bridge would have a higher draw span to reduce the number of bridge openings. This alternative would also retain the existing bridge as a separate facility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and fishermen. Alternative 5A would include a new four-lane bridge just north of the existing US 50 crossing, typing back into Division Street. Except for the location of the crossing, Alternative 5A would mimic Alternative 5. Alternatives 3, 6, and 7 were dropped from detailed consideration. Costs of Alternatives 2, 4, 5, and 5A are estimated at $107 million, $340 million, $289 million, and $268 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would rectify the operational inadequacies and structural deficiencies of the bridge as well as improve the safety for all users of the US 50 crossing of the Sinepuxent Bay. The new bridge would provide a safe and efficient crossing of the bay not only for the hundreds of thousands who access Ocean City each summer, but also for residents and recreationists who will use the crossing as a hurricane evacuation route. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for new bridge construction (Alternative 4, 5, and 5a) three to 5.5 acres would the displacement of two to 12 businesses and six to 13 residences. New build alternatives would also result in the partial loss of a small tidal wetland along the north side of US 50 at the western edge of the bay. New build alternatives would encroach 1.1 to 4.3 acres of 100-year floodplain. The project would create 0.5 to 5.6 acres of new impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff into the bay. Dredging and other construction activities would disturb bay bottom sediments and cause fish to avoid the area temporarily, which is considered essential fish habitat. Marine turtles listed as protected by federal authorities could occur in the area during construction. Construction workers could encounter as many as 11 hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - REX EAST PROJECT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, OHIO, AND WYOMING (FERC DOCKET NO. CP07-208-000).
AN  - 36413177; 13379
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - PORT DOLPHIN LLC DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, ST. PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO.
AN  - 36394779; 13383-080149_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT. [Part 2 of 10]
T2  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.
AN  - 36393527; 13377-080143_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of channels and related improvements within the Port of Boston ion eastern Massachusetts on the western shore of Massachusetts Bay are proposed. The city of Boston is the hub of the nation's Eleventh largest metropolitan area, with a population of 4.5 million. Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

AN  - 36390384; 13379-080145_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.
AN  - 36388693; 13377-080143_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of channels and related improvements within the Port of Boston ion eastern Massachusetts on the western shore of Massachusetts Bay are proposed. The city of Boston is the hub of the nation's Eleventh largest metropolitan area, with a population of 4.5 million. Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

T2  - REX EAST PROJECT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, OHIO, AND WYOMING (FERC DOCKET NO. CP07-208-000).
AN  - 36388154; 13379-080145_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.
AN  - 36387968; 13377-080143_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of channels and related improvements within the Port of Boston ion eastern Massachusetts on the western shore of Massachusetts Bay are proposed. The city of Boston is the hub of the nation's Eleventh largest metropolitan area, with a population of 4.5 million. Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

T2  - REX EAST PROJECT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, OHIO, AND WYOMING (FERC DOCKET NO. CP07-208-000).
AN  - 36382053; 13379-080145_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards.

T2  - PORT DOLPHIN LLC DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, ST. PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO.
AN  - 36380916; 13383-080149_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands.

T2  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.
AN  - 36378962; 13377-080143_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of channels and related improvements within the Port of Boston ion eastern Massachusetts on the western shore of Massachusetts Bay are proposed. The city of Boston is the hub of the nation's Eleventh largest metropolitan area, with a population of 4.5 million. Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

T2  - PORT DOLPHIN LLC DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, ST. PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO.
AN  - 36375142; 13383-080149_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands.

T2  - REX EAST PROJECT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, OHIO, AND WYOMING (FERC DOCKET NO. CP07-208-000).
AN  - 36374917; 13379-080145_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36374844; 13379-080145_0007
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards.

T1  - PORT DOLPHIN LLC DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, ST. PETERSBURG BLOCKS PB545, PB589, AND PB590, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF FLORIDA IN GULF OF MEXICO.
AN  - 16390076; 13383
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater liquefied natural gas (LNG) port in the federal waters of the outer continental shelf (OCS) are proposed by Port Dolphin Energy LLC. The facility, to be known as Port Dolphin, would be located 28 miles off the west coast of Florida to the southwest of Tampa Bay and extend to 100 feet beneath the surface of the water of water. The port would consist of a permanently moored unloading buoy system with two submersible buoys separated by a distance of three miles. Each unloading buoy would be permanently secured to eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope, chain, and buoyancy elements. Each mooring buoy would be attached to anchor points on the seabed; the anchor points would most likely consist of driven piles. The buoys would be designed to moor a specialized type of LNG vessel known as a shuttle and regasification vessel (SRV) with capacities of between 145,000 and 217,000 cubic meters. SRVs are equipped to vaporize cryogenic LNG cargo to natural gas through onboard closed loop vaporization systems. SRVs are also equipped to odorize and meter gas for send-out by means of the unloading buoy to conventional subsea pipelines. The SRVs would moor to the unloading buoys which connect through the hull of the vessels to specially designed turrets that would enable the vessel to weathervane or rotate in response to prevailing wind, wave, and current directions. When the vessels were not present, the buoys would be submerged on a special landing pad on the seabed, 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. Each unloading buoy would connect through a 16-inch-diameter flexible riser and 36-inch-diameter flowline to a Y intersection and thence a 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending 42 miles to Port Manatee in Manatee County, Florida. The pipeline would connect with the Gulfstream Natural Gas System and the Tampa Electric Company (TECO) pipeline system. The 36-inch pipeline would make landfall on Port Manatee property, whence it would extend in a generally easterly direction to the first interconnection point with the Gulfstream System interconnection station site, which would occupy two acres. Up to 80 percent of the daily flow of gas (800 million cubic feet) would be delivered to the Gulfstream System. The remainder of the natural gas from the Port Dolphin would be transported by 14-inch pipeline to the TECO interconnection station, located 5.8 miles east of the Gulfstream interconnection station. Only SRVs would call on Port Dolphin. Offloading of an SRV would require four to eight days. Initially, the port would be capable of a natural gas throughput of 400 million square feet per day, with an eventual daily output of 1,200 million square feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers two alternative deepwater port locations, both of which are off the coast of Florida; various alternative LNG transshipment technologies; and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help provide a reliable and timely supply of natural gas and to increase energy source diversity in the United States. The port would not interfere with international navigation or other reasonable uses of the high seas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Buoy anchoring and related seabed work and pipeline construction would result in disturbance of the benthic environment and creation of turbidity in the water column in the immediate areas. Operational activities would result in similar disturbances in the immediate area of the port as well as releases of high-saline water into the area. Use of seawater in the vaporization of LNG would involve returning the seawater, after treatment with various biocides, back into the ambient ocean. Several million gallons of seawater per day would pass through the vaporization system. Operation of the vaporization system would destroy entrained ichthyoplankton, fish eggs and larvae, and fish in the early stages of life. The port would mar visual aesthetics for commercial and recreational vessel users. Pipeline construction would disturb benthic habitat and destroy sessile benthos and the pipeline rights-of-way would traverse vegetated wildlife habitat, including coastal wetlands and inland wetlands. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BOSTON HARBOR, BOSTON, CHELSEA, AND REVERE, MASSACHUSETTS: DEEP-DRAFT NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT.
AN  - 16373453; 13377
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of channels and related improvements within the Port of Boston ion eastern Massachusetts on the western shore of Massachusetts Bay are proposed. The city of Boston is the hub of the nation's Eleventh largest metropolitan area, with a population of 4.5 million. Federal support of waterborne commerce via improvements within the harbor over the years has provided the port with an extensive system of deep-draft channels and other navigation features to serve the six-state New England region's 14.3 million residents with efficient transportation of domestic and international cargo. With the recent and continued growth in waterborne commerce, the number and sizes of vessels engaged in freight transport, particularly containerized cargo, has rendered existing port facilities less than optimal. As a result, numerous ships carrying cargo bound for New England are forced to land at the Port of New York and New Jersey, requiring cumbersome and expensive overland transport north to New England. Landing and loading a larger portion of that cargo at Boston would save time and cost, but this requires increasing the operational capacity of the Port of Boston. Four action alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The recommended plan of improvements would consist of improvements easing access to four segments of the port. Main Channel improvements to access the Conley Terminal, which is the port's sole container terminal, would include deepening of the 40-foot-deep lane of the Broad Sound North Entrance Channel to 50 feet from Massachusetts Bay to the harbor's Outer Confluence; deepening the 40-foot-deep Main Ship Channel to a depth of 48 feet from the Outer Confluence through President Roads to the Reserved Channel; deepening the President Roads Anchorage to 48 feet over its existing area; deepening of The lower 40-foot-deep branch of the Reserved Channel along Conley Terminal to 48 feet and widening the channel east of the former Army Base Pier to the Turning Area; deepening the 40-foot-deep Reserved Channel Turning Area to 48 feet and increasing its diameter from 1,2000 feet to 1,500 feet. These Conley Terminal access improvements would result in removal of 953,000 cubic yards (CY) of rock and 11.1 million CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Main Ship Channel improvements to ease access to the Massport Terminal would include deepening of the channel to 45 feet above the Reserved Channel Turning Area for a distance of 2,600 feet, at the existing width of 600 feet; this would require the removal of 78,400 CY of rock and 246,300 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 35-foot-deep Mystic River Channel would be deepened to 40 feet to connect the existing 40-foot-deep channel lane with the 40-foot berth at the Massport Marine Terminal; this would require the removal of 67,100 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. The 38-foot-deep Chelsea River Channel and turning as is at it's upper end would be deepened to 40 feet and the channel would be widened by 500 feet along the East Boston shore in two locations, specifically, just upstream of the Mardle Bridge near the river's mouth and in the bend downstream of the Chelsea Street Bridge; this would require removal of 500 CY of rock and 342,600 CY of ordinary dredge spoil. Cost of the recommended improvements are estimated at $307.7 million; the benefit-cost ratio for the recommended improvements is 1.3 at an amortization rate of seven percent. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Channel and turning basin deepening would enable the port to accommodate substantially larger ships, including standard-size container ships, significantly increasing the ports throughput and obviating the existing overland transport of freight from the Port of New Jersey and New York. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging of channels and basins would result in the destruction of benthos, including shellfish, and degradation of their habitat as well as the release of contaminated sediments into the water column. Disposal of dredged material at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site, a contained land-based site designated for the disposal of toxic wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2000, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1902.

T1  - TRUNK HIGHWAY 23 AND U.S. HIGHWAY 71, DOVRE TOWNSHIP, KANDIYOHI COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36409947; 13373
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of one or more grade-separated bridge crossings of Trunk Highway 23 and US 71 in the Dovre Township of Kandiyohi County, Minnesota is proposed. The 3.5-mile study corridor extends from the Highway 294/Highway 23/71 divergence, a distance of 0.5 mile north to the Civic Center Drive interchange, to the divergence of Highway 23 and Highway 71 in the Dovre Township, northeast of the city of Willmar. Highway 23 is a principal northeast-southwest trunk highway serving as a diagonal route between Interstate 35 (I-35) at Sandstone and I-90 in Rock County. Highway 71 is a north-south component of the National Highway System connecting communities in west-central Minnesota, from International Falls to the Iowa border south of Jackson. Both of the highways, which are coterminous within the 3.5-mile study corridor near Willmar, connect citizens and communities to jobs, retail centers, and recreational destinations. This draft EIS considers four freeway build alternatives and four alternatives addressing access to the freeway from Twenty-sixth Street Northeast, by which several private properties and users of Point Lake reach Highway 23/71. The freeway build alternatives would result in the closure of all at-grade access and the construction of either one or two interchanges. The two-interchange option would place interchanges at County Road (CR) 90 and County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 25. The single-interchange option would place an interchange at County Road CR 90 and close at-grade access to Highway 23/71 at CSAH 25. To remedy the closure of access to Highway 23/71 from Twenty-sixth Street Northeast, the project would incorporate one of the following alternatives: 1) a two-lane collector road extending from Twenty-sixth Street to either Long Lake Road or CSAH 27 two-lane; 2) a two-lane collector road, including a tunnel section, extending from Twenty-sixth Street to CR 93 (Eagle Road North); or 3) a two-lane frontage road, with either a fill section or a bridge to allow the crossing of Point Lake, connecting Twenty-Six Street with Sixty-Sixth Avenue NE. In addition to the build alternatives, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. Other access management improvements would include street, driveway, and median closures. Connecting adjacent frontage roads and local roadway improvements would also be incorporated into the project. Depending on the pair of alternatives chosen, estimated cost of the project ranges from $22.9 million to $29.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By removing local street access from Highway 23/71, the project would improve operational efficiency of the facility, reducing congestion and the potential for vehicular collisions and improving air quality within the corridor. The interchange(s) and Twenty-sixth Street connector would ensure safe local access to the improved facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the 40.3 to 64.1 acres of land, including 11 to 20 acres of farmland, 3.15 to 5.8 acres of wetlands as well as parkland and recreational land. Highway development would also require the relocation of three to 11 residences and as many as seven businesses employing up to 38 workers. Utilities would also require relocation. Addition of impervious surface within the construction zones would result in higher peak flows at culvert crossings and affect water quality in Hawk Creek and Point, Eagle, Swan, and Skataas lakes. Several sensitive receptor sites would experience traffic generated noise in excess of federal standards. 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).

The two-interchange option would place interchanges at County Road (CR) 90 and County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 25. The single-interchange option would place an interchange at County Road CR 90 and close at-grade access to Highway 23/71 at CSAH 25. To remedy the closure of access to Highway 23/71 from Twenty-sixth Street Northeast, the project would incorporate one of the following alternatives: 1) a two-lane collector road extending from Twenty-sixth Street to either Long Lake Road or CSAH 27 two-lane; 2) a two-lane collector road, including a tunnel section, extending from Twenty-sixth Street to CR 93 (Eagle Road North); or 3) a two-lane frontage road, with either a fill section or a bridge to allow the crossing of Point Lake, connecting Twenty-Six Street with Sixty-Sixth Avenue NE. In addition to the build alternatives, this EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. Other access management improvements would include street, driveway, and median closures. Connecting adjacent frontage roads and local roadway improvements would also be incorporated into the project. Depending on the pair of alternatives chosen, estimated cost of the project ranges from $22.9 million to $29.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By removing local street access from Highway 23/71, the project would improve operational efficiency of the facility, reducing congestion and the potential for vehicular collisions and improving air quality within the corridor. The interchange(s) and Twenty-sixth Street connector would ensure safe local access to the improved facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the 40.3 to 64.1 acres of land, including 11 to 20 acres of farmland, 3.15 to 5.8 acres of wetlands as well as parkland and recreational land. Highway development would also require the relocation of three to 11 residences and as many as seven businesses employing up to 38 workers. Utilities would also require relocation. Addition of impervious surface within the construction zones would result in higher peak flows at culvert crossings and affect water quality in Hawk Creek and Point, Eagle, Swan, and Skataas lakes. Several sensitive receptor sites would experience traffic generated noise in excess of federal standards. 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).

T2  - HYDROPOWER REHABILITATIONS, DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND MINIMUM FLOW AT WOLF CREEK DAM, KENTUCKY AND CENTER HILL AND DALE HOLLOW DAMS, TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36387573; 13369-080135_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of measures to address hydropower facilities rehabilitation, dissolved oxygen levels, and minimum flow associated with the operation of Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky and Center Hill Dam and Dale Hollows Dam in Tennessee is proposed. The dams are situated, respectively, at River Mile (RM) 460.9 on the Cumberland River, RM 26.6 on the Caney Fork River, and RM 7.3 on the Obey River. The dams are all large, high head dams and all are more than 55 years of age. The hydropower units have far exceeded their design lives and could be made more reliable and efficient. Hydropower is by far the most economical means of generating electricity in the Cumberland River Basin. In addition to hydropower the dams provide for flood control, lake-related recreational opportunities, and fish and wildlife management. Twenty-one alternative measures and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Five action measures were identified for detailed study. These recommended measures are described immediately below. Measure 4 would involve structural rehabilitation of the dams. Measure 7 would involve refurbishing or replacing the house units. Measure 10 would provide for the installation of orifice gates. Measure 14 would incorporate sluicing into dam operations to increase dissolved oxygen levels. Measure 16 would provide for the installation of autoventing turbines to improve water quality in tailwaters. Measure 21, which was eliminated belatedly, would establish an adaptive management regime to address necessary beneficial in operating procedures. However, Measure 21 was not well defined; hence, it is assumed that changes to operating procedures would not be made unless they could be shown to be beneficial. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Measure 4 would reduce operating and maintenance costs and increase hydropower generation capacity and improve structural safety at the dams. Measures 7 and 10 would provide the facilities to allow appropriate minimum flows, which would improve the aquatic habitats downstream of the dam, particularly habitat for the federally protected relic mussels. Recreational fishing would also be enhanced. Because water would likely be discharged faster, periods between generation could increase, potentially allowing for a greater period of recreational fishing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Discharging water through the sluice gates or orifice gates to increase dissolved oxygen levels and/or minimum flows would reduce the amount of water passing through the turbines, translating into a lower of hydropower production and revenues and reducing the amount of fossil fuel that potentially could be replaced by hydropower generation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 661), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1938 Flood Control Act of 1944 Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965 River and Harbor Act of 1946 River and Harbor Act of 1958 (33 U.S.C. 1252 102(b)) and Third Supplemental Defense Act of 1941.

T1  - A new mixed finite element method for poro-elasticity
AN  - 50620084; 2008-111626
AB  - Development of robust numerical solutions for poro-elasticity is an important and timely issue in modern computational geomechanics. Recently, research in this area has seen a surge in activity, not only because of increased interest in coupled problems relevant to the petroleum industry, but also due to emerging applications of poro-elasticity for modelling problems in biomedical engineering and materials science. In this paper, an original mixed least-squares method for solving Biot consolidation problems is developed. The solution is obtained via minimization of a least-squares functional, based upon the equations of equilibrium, the equations of continuity and weak forms of the constitutive relationships for elasticity and Darcy flow. The formulation involves four separate categories of unknowns: displacements, stresses, fluid pressures and velocities. Each of these unknowns is approximated by linear continuous functions. The mathematical formulation is implemented in an original computer program, written from scratch and using object-oriented logic. The performance of the method is tested on one- and two-dimensional classical problems in poro-elasticity. The numerical experiments suggest the same rates of convergence for all four types of variables, when the same interpolation spaces are used. The continuous linear triangles show the same rates of convergence for both compressible and entirely incompressible elastic solids. This mixed formulation results in non-oscillating fluid pressures over entire domain for different moments of time. The method appears to be naturally stable, without any need of additional stabilization terms with mesh-dependent parameters. Abstract Copyright (2008), Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

T1  - Gas transfer and liquid dispersion inside a deep airlift reactor
AN  - 21247262; 11135808
AB  - Gas transfer experiments in bubbly flow are conducted inside a deep bubble column/airlift reactor containing air and water with a maximum aerated water height of 23.4 m and diameter of 1.06 m. The effects of geometry and operating conditions on mixing and gas transfer are determined. Fluorescence measurements are used to estimate dispersion coefficients for several operating conditions, while bubble-water gas transfer measurements are made using dissolved oxygen (DO) probes. A two-phase convection-dispersion model is fit to the DO measurements using the liquid film coefficient (kL) as a fitting parameter. Sparger differences had a substantial effect upon kL, and the gas transfer coefficient for the airlift reactor was four times that of the bubble column. Results are characterized using Sherwood, Reynolds, and Bond numbers. A low Reynolds number exponent was found, indicating that kL in a deep column tends toward a constant and is not highly dependent upon air discharge.

T1  - Dredged Material Analysis Tools: Performance of Acute and Chronic Sediment Toxicity Methods
AN  - 21051964; 9046981
AB  - This report and research were supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 2. The work was conducted to provide insight into the potential advantages and disadvantages of using chronic sediment toxicity tests with relevant benthic macroinvertebrates as part of dredged material evaluations, as described in the Inland and Ocean Testing Manuals (USEPA/USACE 1991, 1998). Nine sediments collected from the New York Harbor (NYH) were used to assess test methods in a preliminary evaluation at one test facility and an interlaboratory evaluation at three test facilities. The two acute test methods (10-day Ampelisca abdita and Americamysis bahia) currently used in evaluations of NYH material were compared to available chronic protocols to gauge relative performance of the toxicity tests. Acute tests are typically short-term (e.g., 10-day) lethality assessments conducted over a small portion of the test organism's life cycle, while chronic tests are longer-term and assess sublethal measurement endpoints (e.g., growth and reproduction) in addition to lethality. The available chronic test methods used in this study were the 28-day test using the estuarine amphipod, Leptocheirus plumulosus, and 20-day and 28-day tests using the marine poly-chaete Neanthes arenaceodentata. Use of chronic tests is recommended or required by dredged material evaluation guidance and regulations, respectively. The sublethal endpoints measured in chronic tests may be more sensitive measures of toxicity and more predictive of longer-term population effects. Of the tests compared, the currently used acute (10-day) Ampelisca abdita test and the available chronic (28-day) L. plumulosus test were the most responsive (i.e., sensitive) to the tested NYH sediments. Response is defined as the amount an endpoint (e.g., survival) was reduced for test organisms in site sediments relative to that same endpoint in the control sediment. Of these two test methods, neither clearly demonstrated better capability to identify contaminated sediments (i.e., "hits"). The A. abdita test was more consistent in performance and exhibited greater statistical power but demonstrated lesser response to the sediments and lower correlation with sediment chemistry. The sublethal endpoints used in the L. plumulosus test were more responsive to the sediments and more closely related to sediment contamination but had lower statistical power than lethality endpoints. An acute (10-day) test using L. plumulosus was also conducted in one laboratory and similar responsiveness was found relative to the acute A. abdita test. The remaining toxicity tests, including the currently applied acute A. bahia test and the 28-day N. arenaceodentata test were not responsive to the tested sediments in this evaluation and thus did not suggest toxicity in any of the tested sediments. Specific conclusions and recommendations on the application of these test methods are offered at the end of this document.

T1  - Snow cover effects on acoustic sensors
AN  - 21015848; 8094655
AB  - Measurements were conducted to determine the effect of a snow cover on acoustic wave propagation during a 50 day period in Alaska. Acoustic waveforms produced by a blank pistol shot were recorded after propagating horizontally over various snow-covered propagation paths and were used to determine the snow cover parameters by comparison with theoretically calculated waveforms. This automatic comparison procedure was successful in determining the average snow cover permeability and depth even when the snow cover depth varied greatly across the propagation path. Although the snow cover properties remained relatively constant during the measurement period, the acoustic measurements were able to determine the changes caused by wind events and new snowfall. Acoustic measurements can provide a rapid, accurate method for determining and monitoring snow cover characteristics. The excess attenuation produced by the snow cover was generally about -30 dB for 100 m distance and frequencies above 100 Hz. Theoretical calculations also show that even a thin snow cover only 0.02 m thick will affect acoustic pulse propagation. The attenuation and distortion caused by a snow cover can degrade passive acoustic sensor identification and distance estimation, but these detrimental effects can be mitigated by proper design of signal processing algorithms.

T1  - Non-indigenous endospore persistence following release in a snow-soil system
AN  - 20932873; 8094667
AB  - Knowledge of snow-soil-microbial interactions could lead to the development of strategies that exploit snow as a delivery system for microorganisms to soil or for nutrients that would in turn influence the soil microbiota. A predictable soil-snow-microbial system could promote or sustain native or introduced microbial activity during periods of snow cover or preserve and preposition viable but inactive microorganisms until conditions become favorable for growth. Knowledge of these manipulations could result in strategies to target desired soil microbial processes. Potential applications include bioremediation and decontamination. We hypothesized that population dynamics at the snow-soil interface would be a determinant in the growth and survival of an introduced species and that the microbial community would not be static. Using replicated field studies, we characterized native microbial populations in a local soil with and without snow cover using molecular-based taxonomic methods. We introduced the bacterial species Bacillus thuringiensis to the soil prior to snowfall and to the snow covering following snowfall. As competition, we also added Pseudomonas syringae to the snow in selected treatments. During a single winter and into the spring, we periodically sampled the snow-soil interface to characterize the prevailing microbial populations. Results showed that micro-eukaryotes, either protists or fungi, increased significantly under snow. P. syringae survival and growth was detected for up to 80 days post-inoculation to snow. B. thuringiensis, added as endospores, remained and survived mainly in the endospore state.

T1  - Economic Analysis Of Conservation Forestry Practices: a South Carolina Lowcountry Example
AN  - 20712456; 8228884
AB  - The Lowcountry Forest Conservation Project was designed to encourage conservation forestry practices on South Carolina's lower coastal plain. The area has great ecological diversity and need for the type of protections afforded by conservation forestry. The project provided demonstrations of these practices and offered forest owners an estimate of the cost-effectiveness of the techniques. This article reports on a financial analysis of the three main practices: (1) the reintroduction of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris P. Miller) into areas that are now loblolly pine plantations (Pinus taeda L.), (2) more and better use of prescribed fire, and (3) bottomland hardwood management. Longleaf pine reintroduction was accomplished using partial clearcuts of existing pine plantations over several decades. Financial return was shown to be competitive with intensively-managed loblolly pine plantations. Pine straw production played a large role in increasing cash flows. Prescribed burning was shown to "pay for itself in increased stumpage prices and reduced harvesting costs. A technique to better manage bottomland hardwoods for economic returns was discussed. Conservation forestry practices were shown to be economically-effective means to manage forests while benefiting wildlife, aesthetics, and other ecological values. These techniques can be used to analyze other practices and techniques that are used to protect natural areas. Often they can be shown to "pay their own way.".

T1  - Continuous mapping of distributed snow depth for mobility models using shaped solutions
AN  - 20657609; 8094678
AB  - High-resolution ground vehicle mobility models are used by the U.S. Army to investigate new vehicle concepts, conduct force-on-force simulations, and-in the future-support terrain analysis for battle planning. Use of these models in winter conditions requires a method to realistically represent the distribution of snow depth and density over a landscape. The objective of this work was to develop a method to use a recently identified pinched-cone-shaped solution domain to map snow properties. The method was developed with stringent computational and data storage efficiency requirements in mind and is demonstrated by mapping snow depth on the Ethan Allen Firing Range in northern Vermont, USA. The pinched-cone-shaped plots in a cylindrical coordinate system r=F( psi ,z) where the no-slope snow depth is taken as the vertex (0,0), the radii (r) represent the snow depth relative to the no-slope case, and r is a function of azimuth ( psi ) and terrain slope (z). The pinched-cone equation uses a circular function with one or two coefficients that describe the slope-azimuth-dependent expansion of the pinched cone as snow depth differentiation increases with increased terrain slope. Equations that relate the expansion coefficients and no-slope snow depth to elevation then permit continuous mapping of snow depth with respect to terrain slope, azimuth, and elevation. The mapping is applied within five forest categories (open, sparse, deciduous, mixed, and conifer). The influence of snow depth and terrain slope on vehicle speed predictions is illustrated.

T1  - Performance of an emerging all-weather decontamination solution against nerve and mustard agent simulants at subfreezing temperatures
AN  - 20656939; 8094744
AB  - Solutions for decontaminating chemical and biological agents should be able to perform in all climatic conditions, including subfreezing temperatures. Below 0 super(o)C, aqueous-based decontamination solutions or their components can freeze, rendering them inactive and difficult to handle. Moreover, rates of neutralization will be dramatically slower than at normal room temperature. In a series of replicated laboratory studies, we quantified the efficacy of an emerging decontamination solution, DECON Green, against the VX nerve-agent simulant bis-(2-ethyl hexyl) phosphite and the HD mustard agent simulant 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide. The efficacy of the DECON Green formulations was tested at 4, -5 and -15 super(o)C using both contact-hazard assessments and mass balance approaches. Contact-hazard assessments simulated the transfer of simulant to skin. The mass balance approach addressed the fate of simulant by quantifying recovery following each step of the decontamination process. Two formulations of DECON Green were investigated: the ''standard'' formulation, New DECON Green, and the ''cold weather'' formulation, CA super(2)WT. Simulants were spread on chemical-agent-resistant-coating-treated aluminum disks (CARC coupons). The CARC coupons were subsequently decontaminated using standard U.S. Army operating procedures. At all temperatures investigated, sequential contact hazards of the simulant were three to four times lower in concentration for the mustard simulant and nerve-agent simulant, respectively, following the application of DECON Green and washing than without DECON Green or without washing. The mass balance data showed that washing with a propylene glycol:H sub(2)O solution was an important part of the decontamination process. DECON Green both degraded the simulants and increased the simulants removed during washing. These findings indicate that at both -5 and -15 super(o)C, temperatures at which water-based procedures would be problematic, the cold-formula DECON Green plus washing with propylene glycol:H sub(2)O was effective at reducing surface contact hazards from the two chemical agent simulants.

T1  - Revised solar-power budget for Cool Robot polar science campaigns
AN  - 20592359; 8094700
AB  - Why develop polar robots? Logistics costs predominate polar-science budgets to maintain safe human operations in extreme environments. Robots could reduce this logistics burden and thus expand research opportunities in the Polar Regions. With the funding from the National Science Foundation, we have developed first ground vehicle specifically designed to conduct long-duration autonomous science campaigns over terrestrial ice sheets. The 60-kg, solar-powered Cool Robot measures 1.2x1.2x1 m and can carry or tow 20-80 kg science payloads. A low-profile, four-wheel-drive chassis supports a five-sided, lightweight box of solar cells that capture significant reflected sunlight from the snowfield. The robot is zero emissions, so it can conduct clean snow and air measurements without being trailed by its own pollutants. A fleet of Cool Robots could support many other polar science projects, including biological sampling, glaciology surveys, and upper atmosphere or magnetosphere observations using broadly spaced instrument arrays. We present here revisions to the Cool Robot's solar-power input model to account for the effects of diffuse-sky radiation, a significant source of radiation for cloudy conditions common in Greenland. The main effect of increasing diffuse-sky radiation, for fixed global radiation, is to increase the diurnal variation in solar-power input to the robot. The revised model agrees well with irradiance measurements and the robot's measured power budget during a long-duration test conducted in Greenland. It thus allows us to adapt the Cool Robot to the specific needs of polar science campaigns with some confidence. For two-month science campaigns in Antarctica or Greenland, the Cool Robot has sufficient power margin to carry a 20-kg payload, or tow an 80-kg sled, over 1000 km per month. Under most conditions, 100-300 W are available to power the payload. The robot must yet demonstrate reliable long-distance operation. Nevertheless, results to date suggest it holds the potential to conduct significant autonomous science campaigns in Antarctica and Greenland.

T1  - Restoration options for potential persistence of submersed aquatic vegetation: combining ecological, hydrodynamic and sediment transport modelling
AN  - 1560132556; 20611168
AB  - 1. Restoration of shallow turbid lakes to promote growth of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) requires knowledge of the environmental factors affecting SAV growth and persistence, and a means to predict the success of SAV reestablishment under different management scenarios to improve these environmental conditions. We used a dynamic ecological modelling approach relating SAV responses to changes in physical and chemical conditions, with information on water level, flow and transparency being provided by hydrodynamic and sediment transport models. 2. The potential persistence of Vallisneria americana was similar under simulated environmental conditions in 1946 and in 1954, as was the potential persistence of Potamogeton pectinatus, indicating that the disappearance of V. americana from Peoria Lake (U.S.A.) previously attributed to an extended spring flood in 1954, may have been related to the combined effects of changes in water level, flow and water transparency as well as possibly other factors. 3. Recent environmental conditions (for 2000) proved not to be conducive for the colonization and persistence potential of V. americana, but would allow colonization by P. pectinatus. The construction of a hypothetical levee along the eastern descending line of the navigation channel in Upper Peoria Lake, which was expected to reduce fetch- and navigation-related turbidity, did not improve the situation for V. americana and overall deteriorated the situation for P. pectinatus. Thus, such a hydraulic alteration, generally considered as beneficial for SAV restoration, may not always be successful. 4. The results of the simulations indicated that the environmental conditions for potential persistence in Peoria Lake were generally less favourable for V. americana than for P. pectinatus. Measures suggested to restore SAV communities in such a lake should aim at reducing concentrations of total suspended solids at the point of inflow by a factor of three to four and limiting fetch- and navigation-related resuspension.

T1  - I-26 CONNECTOR, I-40 TO US-19-23-70 NORTH OF ASHEVILLE, BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36411483; 13359
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway from Interstate 26 (I-26)to US 19-23-70, including a new I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange, in Asheville and Buncombe County, North Carolina is proposed. The project, which is commonly referred to as the I-26 Connector, would improve the existing connection between the Port of Charleston, South Carolina and the mountains of western North Carolina. Prior to 2003, I-26 terminated at the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange southwest of Asheville. In 203, a new section of I-26 was completed north of Asheville from Mars Hill northward to the Tennessee state line, leaving a 20-mile gap in the route. Through Asheville to the north, I-26 traffic is routed along I-240 and US 19-23, connecting to the new section of I-26 and eventually to I-81 in Tennessee. The proposed I-26 Connector would improve the existing I-26, I-240, and US 19-23-70 corridors from south of the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange to the I-240 interchange with US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue west of the French Broad River. At the I-240 interchange with US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue, a northward freeway on new location would be constructed that would cross he French Broad River and merge into existing US 19-23-70. The project has been divided into three segments. Four build alternatives and a baseline No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Only one alternative is under consideration for Section A, which extends along existing I-240 from just north of I-40 to just south of the I-240/US 17-23-74A/Patton Avenue interchange. Section B, for which three alternatives have been developed, begins at the northern end of Section A and continues northward I-240 through the US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue interchange, then splits on a new locations and continues across the French Broad River before terminating just north of the State Route 1781 (Broadway) interchange with US 19-23-70. Section C consists of the area surrounding the I-26/I-40/I-2400 interchange; this section, for which four alternatives have been developed was created from a portion of Section B late in the design phase. Estimated costs of Section A rights-of-way acquisition and construction costs are estimated at $124.2 million. Depending on the alternatives chosen, Section B costs and Section C costs are estimated to range from $215.6 million to $363.4 million and $98.1 million to $256.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Connector would provide a link between I-26 south of Asheville and US 19-23 north of Asheville, rendering I-26 a complete, unitary east-west route through the Carolinas to Kingsport, Tennessee. Additional capacity added to I-240 would respond to increasing traffic volumes that have substantially reduced the level of service along the corridor west of Asheville. Improved engineering and metrics would ameliorate conditions along currently accident-prone segments of the freeway. Deficiencies in the affected interstates would be eliminated, bringing the corridors up to federal interstate standards. The additional bridge across the French Broad River would reduce delays now experienced by drivers needing to cross the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternatives selected, rights-of-way requirements for the project would result in the displacement of 79 residences and one church along Section A, 37 to 61 residences along Section B, and five to 15 residences along Section C. Business displacements would number 14 along Section A, 17 to 55 along Section B, and up to one along Section C. The highway would traverse eight to 21 streams, resulting in the relocation of 1,751 to 4,976 linear feet of channel. The highway would traverse seven to 11 wetlands, displacing two to three acres in all. Two small ponds would be affected. Six to seven historically significant properties would be displaced. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane freeway from Interstate 26 (I-26)to US 19-23-70, including a new I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange, in Asheville and Buncombe County, North Carolina is proposed. The project, which is commonly referred to as the I-26 Connector, would improve the existing connection between the Port of Charleston, South Carolina and the mountains of western North Carolina. Prior to 2003, I-26 terminated at the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange southwest of Asheville. In 203, a new section of I-26 was completed north of Asheville from Mars Hill northward to the Tennessee state line, leaving a 20-mile gap in the route. Through Asheville to the north, I-26 traffic is routed along I-240 and US 19-23, connecting to the new section of I-26 and eventually to I-81 in Tennessee. The proposed I-26 Connector would improve the existing I-26, I-240, and US 19-23-70 corridors from south of the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange to the I-240 interchange with US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue west of the French Broad River. At the I-240 interchange with US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue, a northward freeway on new location would be constructed that would cross he French Broad River and merge into existing US 19-23-70. The project has been divided into three segments. Four build alternatives and a baseline No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Only one alternative is under consideration for Section A, which extends along existing I-240 from just north of I-40 to just south of the I-240/US 17-23-74A/Patton Avenue interchange. Section B, for which three alternatives have been developed, begins at the northern end of Section A and continues northward I-240 through the US 19-23-74A/Patton Avenue interchange, then splits on a new locations and continues across the French Broad River before terminating just north of the State Route 1781 (Broadway) interchange with US 19-23-70. Section C consists of the area surrounding the I-26/I-40/I-2400 interchange; this section, for which four alternatives have been developed was created from a portion of Section B late in the design phase. Estimated costs of Section A rights-of-way acquisition and construction costs are estimated at $124.2 million. Depending on the alternatives chosen, Section B costs and Section C costs are estimated to range from $215.6 million to $363.4 million and $98.1 million to $256.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Connector would provide a link between I-26 south of Asheville and US 19-23 north of Asheville, rendering I-26 a complete, unitary east-west route through the Carolinas to Kingsport, Tennessee. Additional capacity added to I-240 would respond to increasing traffic volumes that have substantially reduced the level of service along the corridor west of Asheville. Improved engineering and metrics would ameliorate conditions along currently accident-prone segments of the freeway. Deficiencies in the affected interstates would be eliminated, bringing the corridors up to federal interstate standards. The additional bridge across the French Broad River would reduce delays now experienced by drivers needing to cross the river. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the alternatives selected, rights-of-way requirements for the project would result in the displacement of 79 residences and one church along Section A, 37 to 61 residences along Section B, and five to 15 residences along Section C. Business displacements would number 14 along Section A, 17 to 55 along Section B, and up to one along Section C. The highway would traverse eight to 21 streams, resulting in the relocation of 1,751 to 4,976 linear feet of channel. The highway would traverse seven to 11 wetlands, displacing two to three acres in all. Two small ponds would be affected. Six to seven historically significant properties would be displaced. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN  - 36394409; 13355-080121_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 37.6 miles of highway along Interstate 94 (I-94), I-43, I-894, and State Trunk Highway (STH) 119 (Airport Spur) from the I-94/US 41 interchange to Howard Avenue in Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee counties, Wisconsin and Lake County, Illinois is proposed. The I-94 north-south freeway corridor includes I-94 from Howard Avenue south to the I-94/US 41 interchange just south of the Wisconsin/Illinois state line, I-894 from Mitchell interchange west to Thirty-fifth Street, and STH 119. The freeway corridor is characterized by deteriorating pavement, safety drawbacks, and design deficiencies, including left-hand entrances and exits and sharp curves. At time passes and traffic volumes increase, safety, pavement conditions, and operations within the corridor will continue to deteriorate. Development and population growth in the communities served by the corridor are expected to result in traffic volume increases of 20 to 30 percent by 2035. This final EIS considers a No-Build Alternative, a transportation demand management alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and four build alternatives. Build alternatives include: 1) spot improvements to replace the existing roadway and bridges and address those safety issues that can be addressed without acquiring any new rights-of-way; 2) safety and design improvements to replace the existing roadway and bridges and address all crucial safety issues even if new rights-of-way are required; 3) safety and design improvements and expansion of roadway carrying capacity by adding one new general purpose travel lane in each direction; and 4) provision of a new interchange at I-94 and Drexel Avenue and a full interchange with I-94 at Twenty-seventh Street to replace the existing half interchange. Alternative 2 has been selected as the preferred alternative; the alternative has a estimated cost of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would improve safety and traffic operations, accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service, maintain a key link within the state and regional transportation networks, and replace deteriorating pavement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace residential units, but very few. In addition, the project would displace of farmland, including entire farms, and wetlands. The project would traverse seven floodplains, though these are already traversed by the existing facilities. The project would also traverse habitat of the state protected Butler's garter snake, seaside crowfoot, alkali bulrush, bluestem goldenrod, reflexed trillium, and smooth black-haw. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 831 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter numerous hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

AN  - 36380768; 13355-080121_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 37.6 miles of highway along Interstate 94 (I-94), I-43, I-894, and State Trunk Highway (STH) 119 (Airport Spur) from the I-94/US 41 interchange to Howard Avenue in Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee counties, Wisconsin and Lake County, Illinois is proposed. The I-94 north-south freeway corridor includes I-94 from Howard Avenue south to the I-94/US 41 interchange just south of the Wisconsin/Illinois state line, I-894 from Mitchell interchange west to Thirty-fifth Street, and STH 119. The freeway corridor is characterized by deteriorating pavement, safety drawbacks, and design deficiencies, including left-hand entrances and exits and sharp curves. At time passes and traffic volumes increase, safety, pavement conditions, and operations within the corridor will continue to deteriorate. Development and population growth in the communities served by the corridor are expected to result in traffic volume increases of 20 to 30 percent by 2035. This final EIS considers a No-Build Alternative, a transportation demand management alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and four build alternatives. Build alternatives include: 1) spot improvements to replace the existing roadway and bridges and address those safety issues that can be addressed without acquiring any new rights-of-way; 2) safety and design improvements to replace the existing roadway and bridges and address all crucial safety issues even if new rights-of-way are required; 3) safety and design improvements and expansion of roadway carrying capacity by adding one new general purpose travel lane in each direction; and 4) provision of a new interchange at I-94 and Drexel Avenue and a full interchange with I-94 at Twenty-seventh Street to replace the existing half interchange. Alternative 2 has been selected as the preferred alternative; the alternative has a estimated cost of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would improve safety and traffic operations, accommodate future traffic volumes at an acceptable level of service, maintain a key link within the state and regional transportation networks, and replace deteriorating pavement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace residential units, but very few. In addition, the project would displace of farmland, including entire farms, and wetlands. The project would traverse seven floodplains, though these are already traversed by the existing facilities. The project would also traverse habitat of the state protected Butler's garter snake, seaside crowfoot, alkali bulrush, bluestem goldenrod, reflexed trillium, and smooth black-haw. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 831 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter numerous hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T2  - HYDROPOWER REHABILITATIONS, DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND MINIMUM FLOW AT WOLF CREEK DAM, KENTUCKY AND CENTER HILL AND DALE HOLLOW DAMS, TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36383899; 13345-080111_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of measures to address hydropower facilities rehabilitation, dissolved oxygen levels, and minimum flow associated with the operation of Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky and Center Hill Dam and Dale Hollows Dam in Tennessee is proposed. The dams are situated, respectively, at River Mile (RM) 460.9 on the Cumberland River, RM 26.6 on the Caney Fork River, and RM 7.3 on the Obey River. The dams are all large, high head dams and all are more than 55 years of age. The hydropower units have far exceeded their design lives and could be made more reliable and efficient. Hydropower is by far the most economical means of generating electricity in the Cumberland River Basin. In addition to hydropower the dams provide for flood control, lake-related recreational opportunities, and fish and wildlife management. Twenty-one alternative measures and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Six action measures were identified for detailed study. These recommended measures are described immediately below. Measure 4 would involve structural rehabilitation of the dams. Measure 7 would involve refurbishing or replacing the house units. Measure 10 would provide for the installation of orifice gates. Measure 14 would incorporate sluicing into dam operations to increase dissolved oxygen levels. Measure 16 would provide for the installation of autoventing turbines to improve water quality in tailwaters. Measure 21 would establish an adaptive management regime to address necessary beneficial in operating procedures. However, Measure 21 was not well defined; hence, it is assumed that changes to operating procedures would not be made unless they could be shown to be beneficial. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Measure 4 would reduce operating and maintenance costs and increase hydropower generation capacity and improve structural safety at the dams. Measures 7 and 10 would provide the facilities to allow appropriate minimum flows, which would improve the aquatic habitats downstream of the dam, particularly habitat for the federally protected relic mussels. Recreational fishing would also be enhanced. Because water would likely be discharged faster, periods between generation could increase, potentially allowing for a greater period of recreational fishing. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Discharging water through the sluice gates or orifice gates to increase dissolved oxygen levels and/or minimum flows would reduce the amount of water passing through the turbines, translating into a lower of hydropower production and revenues and reducing the amount of fossil fuel that potentially could be replaced by hydropower generation. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 661), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1938 Flood Control Act of 1944 Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965 River and Harbor Act of 1946 River and Harbor Act of 1958 (33 U.S.C. 1252 102(b)) and Third Supplemental Defense Act of 1941.

T1  - HOMEPORTING OF ADDITIONAL SURFACE SHIPS AT NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, FLORIDA. [Part 2 of 5]
T2  - HOMEPORTING OF ADDITIONAL SURFACE SHIPS AT NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, FLORIDA.
AN  - 36393093; 13337-080103_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The homeporting of additional surface ships at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Mayport, Florida is proposed. The Navy port, which is located in northern Florida east of Jacksonville along the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean, maintains and operates facilities providing support to the operations of deploying Navy ships, aviation units, and staff, both homebased and transient. NAVSTA Mayport also provides logistic support for operating forces, dependent activities, and other commands as assigned. The Quadrennial Defense Review called for the Department of Defense to be capable of swiftly defeating aggression in overlapping conflicts worldwide. This required the Navy to modify its operational philosophy and to ensure its capability in providing more warfare assets, more quickly, to multiple locations. The Navy adopted the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) to institutionalize an enhance naval surge capacity. Under the guidance of the U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF), the fleet training cycle has been adjusted with refined maintenance, modernization, manning, and training processes to enable the fleet to consistently sustain a level of at least six surge capable carrier strike groups available within 30 days and one additional strike group able to deploy within 90 days. The Navy has developed plans for coastal infrastructure to ensure appropriate support for FRP and the Navy's required operations battle force. The Navy will begin in 2010 to decommission frigates currently homeported at NAVSTA Mayport; hence, port infrastructure will become available and the Navy intends to take full advantage of this infrastructure. The Navy needs to utilize the available facilities at NAVSTA Mayport, both pierside and shoreside, in an effective and efficient manner, thereby minimizing new construction. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has directed USFF Command to review and assess a broad range of options for homeporting additional ships at NAVSTA Mayport. This draft EIS considers 12 action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives involve various types and numbers of ships, including those types of ships including those types currently homeported at NAVSTA Mayport (cruisers, destroyers, and frigates) as well as types of ships identified by the CNO, namely, amphibious assault ships, amphibious transport dock ships, dock landing ships, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Depending on the alternative hosen, the proposed actions could involve dredging and disposal of dredge spoil, improvement of maintenance facilities, upgrading of utility lines, wharf improvements, personnel support improvements, addition of parking facilities and other surface transport improvements, and/or constructi9on of nuclear propulsion plant maintenance facilities. Several of the alternatives could be implemented as early as 2009; others would not be fully implemented until 2014. The Navy has not yet selected a preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The movement of additional ships to NAVSTA Mayport would ensure the effective support of fleet operational requirements through efficient use of waterfront and shoreside facilities at the Florida base. Moreover, the use of NAVSTA Mayport would help preserve the distribution of homeport locations and port, reducing risk to fleet resources in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. Full use of the NAVSTA Mayport would preserve the capabilities of the Jacksonville Fleet Concentration Area, thereby supporting naval surge capability. Utilization of the port would optimize fleet access to naval training ranges and operating areas by retaining ship homeport locations within six hours transit time of local operating areas. The expansion of port facilities and activities would result in the creation of hundreds of local jobs and inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Initial dredging to deepen the harbor channels at the port and disposal of dredge spoil would destroy benthos and alter benthic sediment composition and topography. The disposal of and estimated 5.7 million cubic yards of dredge spoil from the initial deepening work would displace 61 percent of the remaining capacity of the Jacksonville Ocean Dredged Material Dumping Site (ODMDS). Due to maintenance dredging requirements following the completion of the initial harbor deepening, the capacity of the ODMDS would be exceeded with 10 years following initial deepening. Impervious surface at the port would increase moderately, increasing stormwater runoff volumes. Approximately 33 acres of vegetation and the associated low-quality wildlife habitat would be displaced. Project implementation would cause significant fluctuations in area population over the phased six-year implementation period.

Depending on the alternative hosen, the proposed actions could involve dredging and disposal of dredge spoil, improvement of maintenance facilities, upgrading of utility lines, wharf improvements, personnel support improvements, addition of parking facilities and other surface transport improvements, and/or constructi9on of nuclear propulsion plant maintenance facilities. Several of the alternatives could be implemented as early as 2009; others would not be fully implemented until 2014. The Navy has not yet selected a preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The movement of additional ships to NAVSTA Mayport would ensure the effective support of fleet operational requirements through efficient use of waterfront and shoreside facilities at the Florida base. Moreover, the use of NAVSTA Mayport would help preserve the distribution of homeport locations and port, reducing risk to fleet resources in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. Full use of the NAVSTA Mayport would preserve the capabilities of the Jacksonville Fleet Concentration Area, thereby supporting naval surge capability. Utilization of the port would optimize fleet access to naval training ranges and operating areas by retaining ship homeport locations within six hours transit time of local operating areas. The expansion of port facilities and activities would result in the creation of hundreds of local jobs and inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Initial dredging to deepen the harbor channels at the port and disposal of dredge spoil would destroy benthos and alter benthic sediment composition and topography. The disposal of and estimated 5.7 million cubic yards of dredge spoil from the initial deepening work would displace 61 percent of the remaining capacity of the Jacksonville Ocean Dredged Material Dumping Site (ODMDS). Due to maintenance dredging requirements following the completion of the initial harbor deepening, the capacity of the ODMDS would be exceeded with 10 years following initial deepening. Impervious surface at the port would increase moderately, increasing stormwater runoff volumes. Approximately 33 acres of vegetation and the associated low-quality wildlife habitat would be displaced. Project implementation would cause significant fluctuations in area population over the phased six-year implementation period. LEGAL MANDATES: Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.).

T1  - UPPER TRINITY RIVER, CENTRAL CITY, FORT WORTH, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2006).
AN  - 36424295; 13332
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control, ecosystem restoration, and urban development measures within the Central City area of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. The Central City study area lies at the confluence of the Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River in the heart of Fort Worth. The area is bounded generally by the Fort Worth Stockyards to the north, University Drive to the west, Interstate 30 to the south, and Sylvania Avenue to the east. An extensive floodway, incorporating channelization and levee walls, and interior drainage system has provided protection to the area. This system has proven to be inadequate, and discharges under future high water conditions could cause annualized damages of approximately $334,300. The system of sumps and 30 drainage structures that provides interior drainage system. Total flood damage from the 50-year event for sumps 25 and 14/15 are estimated to be $5.1 million and $13.9 million for the 100-year event. n addition, flood control and urban development have severely damaged the natural environment associated with the river, including riparian and upland forest, wetlands, and grassland. The area is also rich in cultural resources, now at risk, and affected by soil and groundwater contamination. Recreational resources are somewhat below the required capacity and populated largely by low-income Hispanics suffering from high unemployment rates. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of January 2006. The tentatively recommended plan, known as the Community-Based Alternative, would provide standard flood protection plus four feed of free board through construction of a bypass channel extending 8,400 feet from just downstream of Fifth Street on the Clear Fork to just upstream of Northside Drive on the West Work. The channel would be 300 to 400 feet wide between the top of the levees. The system would include three isolation gates, elevation and other improvements at sump facilities, a dam on the West Fork, 1,100 downstream of Samuels Avenue, designed to create a normal water surface elevation of 525 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum and an interior water feature, extending 900 feet, at the confluence of the Clear and West fork channels. Ecosystem restoration, involving primarily areas proposed for valley storage mitigation, would include reconnection of two historic river meanders and addition of 118 acres of water surface behind the Samuels Avenue Dam. Recreational facilities would include 10 miles of waterfront trails, two new pedestrian bridges, and 3.5 miles of contiguous boating loop. Three new vehicular bridges would be required to maintain existing traffic flow to and through the area. First cost of the recommended project alternative is estimated at $435 million in 2005 dollars. This final supplemental EIS addresses a proposal by the city of Fort Worth to merge the Central City Project with the Riverside Oxbow Project Ecosystem Restoration Project. The latter project encompasses 1,060 acres along a three-mile reach just downstream of the Central City Project and includes a portion of the old natural channel of the West Form that was severed as a cut-off oxbow when the channel was realigned. Federal cost of the Riverside Oxbow project is estimated at $8.3 million in 2002 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore the design level of flood protection throughout the system and improve flood protection associated with interior drainage facilities ancillary to the floodway system. Regarding the area ecosystem, the project would restore, improve, and diversify aquatic habitat, increase emergent wetland habitat for migratory birds, establish continuity across ecosystems, and enhance existing pockets of high-quality bottomland hardwoods adjacent to the river. The recreational system would be improved and integrated, and the area would be more amenable to appropriate urban development. Merging the Central City Project and the Oxbow Project would allow for greater opportunity for valley storage requirements, increased restoration opportunities, and cost savings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The merged projects would engender a potential for water stagnation and algal problems and algal problems on a greater frequency during summer due to increased evaporation as stream surface area is enlarged and water is impounded. Construction activities would result in temporary degradation of water quality due to turbidity and the release of toxins from contaminated soils. Significant historic and archaeological resources could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed during construction and operation of the system. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Public Law 108-447, and River and Harbor Act of 1960 (P.L. 89-298).

AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control, ecosystem restoration, and urban development measures within the Central City area of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. The Central City study area lies at the confluence of the Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River in the heart of Fort Worth. The area is bounded generally by the Fort Worth Stockyards to the north, University Drive to the west, Interstate 30 to the south, and Sylvania Avenue to the east. An extensive floodway, incorporating channelization and levee walls, and interior drainage system has provided protection to the area. This system has proven to be inadequate, and discharges under future high water conditions could cause annualized damages of approximately $334,300. The system of sumps and 30 drainage structures that provides interior drainage system. Total flood damage from the 50-year event for sumps 25 and 14/15 are estimated to be $5.1 million and $13.9 million for the 100-year event. n addition, flood control and urban development have severely damaged the natural environment associated with the river, including riparian and upland forest, wetlands, and grassland. The area is also rich in cultural resources, now at risk, and affected by soil and groundwater contamination. Recreational resources are somewhat below the required capacity and populated largely by low-income Hispanics suffering from high unemployment rates. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of January 2006. The tentatively recommended plan, known as the Community-Based Alternative, would provide standard flood protection plus four feed of free board through construction of a bypass channel extending 8,400 feet from just downstream of Fifth Street on the Clear Fork to just upstream of Northside Drive on the West Work. The channel would be 300 to 400 feet wide between the top of the levees. The system would include three isolation gates, elevation and other improvements at sump facilities, a dam on the West Fork, 1,100 downstream of Samuels Avenue, designed to create a normal water surface elevation of 525 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum and an interior water feature, extending 900 feet, at the confluence of the Clear and West fork channels. Ecosystem restoration, involving primarily areas proposed for valley storage mitigation, would include reconnection of two historic river meanders and addition of 118 acres of water surface behind the Samuels Avenue Dam. Recreational facilities would include 10 miles of waterfront trails, two new pedestrian bridges, and 3.5 miles of contiguous boating loop. Three new vehicular bridges would be required to maintain existing traffic flow to and through the area. First cost of the recommended project alternative is estimated at $435 million in 2005 dollars. This final supplemental EIS addresses a proposal by the city of Fort Worth to merge the Central City Project with the Riverside Oxbow Project Ecosystem Restoration Project. The latter project encompasses 1,060 acres along a three-mile reach just downstream of the Central City Project and includes a portion of the old natural channel of the West Form that was severed as a cut-off oxbow when the channel was realigned. Federal cost of the Riverside Oxbow project is estimated at $8.3 million in 2002 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore the design level of flood protection throughout the system and improve flood protection associated with interior drainage facilities ancillary to the floodway system. Regarding the area ecosystem, the project would restore, improve, and diversify aquatic habitat, increase emergent wetland habitat for migratory birds, establish continuity across ecosystems, and enhance existing pockets of high-quality bottomland hardwoods adjacent to the river. The recreational system would be improved and integrated, and the area would be more amenable to appropriate urban development. Merging the Central City Project and the Oxbow Project would allow for greater opportunity for valley storage requirements, increased restoration opportunities, and cost savings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The merged projects would engender a potential for water stagnation and algal problems and algal problems on a greater frequency during summer due to increased evaporation as stream surface area is enlarged and water is impounded. Construction activities would result in temporary degradation of water quality due to turbidity and the release of toxins from contaminated soils. Significant historic and archaeological resources could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed during construction and operation of the system. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Public Law 108-447, and River and Harbor Act of 1960 (P.L. 89-298).

T2  - MILLER CREEK ROAD, MISSOULA COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36389239; 13322-080088_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway connecting US 93 with the Miller Creek area in Missoula County, Montana is proposed. The Miller creek area is generally bounded by Miller Creek Road/Upper Miller Creek Road on the east and Lower Miller Creek Road on the west and south. Primary access to the Miller Creek area is currently provided by Miller Creek Road, with an indirect access provided by Gharrett Street. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Build alternatives offer a variety of alignments, while design features are generally the same across alternatives. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5A) segment of Miller Creek Road between US 93 and the north "Y" intersection would be widened to provide four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction), with a left-turn lane at the southbound and northbound approaches to Briggs Street, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. A new traffic control signal would be installed at the intersection of Miller Creek Road and Briggs Street. The north "Y" would be realigned to the north and west of its current location to form a more perpendicular "T" intersection; a new signal would be installed at this intersection. Old US 93 between Brooks and Reserve streets would be widened to three lanes and a center left-turn lane and complemented with bicycle lanes and sidewalks. A new signal would be installed at the intersection of Old US 93 and US 93 (Reserve Street). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for efficient and safe access between US 93 and the Miller Creek area, including access to U.S. Forest Service System lands; maintain or improve future operations of US 93; create a transportation solution that provides a long-term and consistent response to comprehensive and transportation plans and accommodates planned growth in the Miller Creek area; and preserves and enhances the character of the roadway corridor neighborhood. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements totaling 9.2 acres under the preferred alternative would convert residential and commercial land to transportation use, requiring the relocation of one residence. Approximately 0.2 acre of wetlands would be displaced, and 0.6 acre of floodplain would be filled. A railroad easement would be required to accommodate one at-grade crossing. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 19 residences and one church. Impervious surface within the watershed would be increased by 6.2 acres, increasing runoff to the Bitterroot River by seven acre-feet per year. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected, and landscaping and the entrance to the private Missoula County Club would be altered. Construction workers would encounter five sites containing contaminated wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5A) segment of Miller Creek Road between US 93 and the north "Y" intersection would be widened to provide four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction), with a left-turn lane at the southbound and northbound approaches to Briggs Street, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. A new traffic control signal would be installed at the intersection of Miller Creek Road and Briggs Street. The north "Y" would be realigned to the north and west of its current location to form a more perpendicular "T" intersection; a new signal would be installed at this intersection. Old US 93 between Brooks and Reserve streets would be widened to three lanes and a center left-turn lane and complemented with bicycle lanes and sidewalks. A new signal would be installed at the intersection of Old US 93 and US 93 (Reserve Street). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for efficient and safe access between US 93 and the Miller Creek area, including access to U.S. Forest Service System lands; maintain or improve future operations of US 93; create a transportation solution that provides a long-term and consistent response to comprehensive and transportation plans and accommodates planned growth in the Miller Creek area; and preserves and enhances the character of the roadway corridor neighborhood. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements totaling 9.2 acres under the preferred alternative would convert residential and commercial land to transportation use, requiring the relocation of one residence. Approximately 0.2 acre of wetlands would be displaced, and 0.6 acre of floodplain would be filled. A railroad easement would be required to accommodate one at-grade crossing. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 19 residences and one church. Impervious surface within the watershed would be increased by 6.2 acres, increasing runoff to the Bitterroot River by seven acre-feet per year. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected, and landscaping and the entrance to the private Missoula County Club would be altered. Construction workers would encounter five sites containing contaminated wastes.

T1  - Influence of snow and ice crystal formation and accumulation on mercury deposition to the Arctic.
AN  - 69148033; 18441801
AB  - Mercury is deposited to the Polar Regions during springtime atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) but the relationship between snow and ice crystal formation and mercury deposition is not well understood. The objective of this investigation was to determine if mercury concentrations were related to the type and formation of snow and ice crystals. On the basis of almost three hundred analyses of samples collected in the Alaskan Arctic, we suggestthat kinetic crystals growing from the vapor phase, including surface hoar, frost flowers, and diamond dust, yield mercury concentrations that are typically 2-10 times higher than that reported for snow deposited during AMDEs (approximately 80 ng/L). Our results show that the crystal type and formation affect the mercury concentration in any given snow sample far more than the AMDE activity prior to snow collection. We present a conceptual model of how snow grain processes including deposition, condensation, reemission, sublimation, and turbulent diffusive uptake influence mercury concentrations in snow and ice. These processes are time dependent and operate collectively to affect the retention and fate of mercury in the cryosphere. The model highlights the importance of the formation and postdeposition crystallographic history of snow or ice crystals in determining the fate and concentration of mercury in the cryosphere.

T1  - Repeated measurements on permanent plots using local variability sampling for monitoring soil cover
AN  - 50858608; 2008-099634
AB  - On US military installations, training activities such as vehicle use disturb ground and vegetation cover of landscapes, and increase potential rainfall runoff and soil erosion. In order to sustain training lands, soil erosion is of major concern. Thus there is a need for sampling designs to monitor degradation and recovery of land conditions. Traditionally, permanent plots are used to obtain the change of land conditions. However, the permanent plots often provide less information over time in characterizing the land conditions because of the fixed number and locations of plots. In this paper, we analyzed the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and developed a method to improve the re-measurements of the permanent plots over time for a monitoring system of soil erosion based on spatial and temporal variability of a random function. We first applied a local variability based sampling method to generate reference samples that have sampling distances varying spatially and temporally to monitor a soil erosion relevant cover factor for an installation, Fort Riley, USA. Then, we compared a permanent sample with the reference samples annually over 13 years to determine additional sampling in the areas with high variability and temporarily suspending measurements of the permanent plots in the areas with low variability. The local variability based sampling provides estimates of local variability of the cover factor and thus is more cost-efficient than random sampling. By comparison with a reference samples, the re-measurements obtained should more accurately characterize the dynamics of the land conditions.

T1  - Economic Impacts from Spending by Private Dock Owners at Hartwell Lake
AN  - 21140872; 9047336
AB  - This report documents the local economic impacts of private dock users at Hartwell Lake, located on the border of Georgia and South Carolina. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of a sample of Hartwell Lake private dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Hartwell Lake are useful for accountability purposes, lake support, and explaining the role of the lake in the region's economy. This report demonstrates how the survey results can also be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.

T1  - Boat-Wave-Induced Bank Erosion on the Kenai River, Alaska
AN  - 20367292; 9047443
AB  - The Kenaitze Indian Tribe requested that the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) determine the relative contribution of boat-wake-induced bank erosion to total bank erosion along the Kenai River. The approach used in this study consisted of a delineation of boat wave characteristics along the study reach and a geomorphic and bank stability assessment. This analysis showed that, at specific times of the year and at specific locations, boat wave energy may be a dominant factor. However, on an average annual basis, boat wave energy is secondary to river currents in terms of total bankline recession. Reduction of boat wave energy should focus on areas having large boat passage frequency, such as the drift area at river miles 10-12 and areas where bank erosion is most problematic. Techniques to reduce boat waves from a single boat include the use of flat-bottomed boats, use of 50-hp motors to increase boat speed, keeping boats away from shorelines, and reducing boat weight. Decreased boat weight and keeping boats away from shorelines are two options that can result in benefits even when significant traffic is present. This study found that boat wakes are one of several factors contributing to bank recession. However, quantification of the relative magnitude of boat wakes to other factors such as river currents could not be determined. The results indicate that boat wakes may be a dominant factor during certain high boat usage times, discharges, and locations along the study reach. Although wake-induced erosion may be a secondary factor in bankline recession, it may be ecologically significant because of its persistence, distribution, and timing. However, bank recession associated with large flood events will likely overshadow the contribution from boat waves.

T1  - Explosive Residues from Blow-in-Place Detonations of Artillery Munitions
AN  - 20277124; 8883148
AB  - Military live-fire training often generates unexploded ordnance (UXO) on training ranges. Explosive ordnance personnel typically render these UXO safe by blow-in-place (BIP) detonations using donor charges. These detonations potentially leave explosive residues on the soil surface where they may threaten ground water. The objective of this study was to determine the efficiency with which several donor charges consume energetic residues from heavy artillery rounds when used in BIP detonations. Residues from BIP of two types of mortars rounds and two types of artillery rounds with four donor charges were recovered from a large tarp after detonations. The binary donor charge produced limited residues for the mortar rounds, but was insufficient when used for larger rounds. TNT as a donor left significant quantities of TNT residue; therefore, it is a poor choice as a donor charge. C4 was the most effective for the larger rounds. Except for the binary charge, which left no detectable residue with the 60-mm mortar rounds, all donors left some residue, primarily RDX, in at least some replicates. Most of the mass was recovered within 15 meters of the detonation center. Results demonstrated that maximum detonation efficiency was achieved by the proper pairing of donor charge to round. Results also indicated that repeated BIP operations in the same location might lead to the building up of explosive contamination in surface soils.

T1  - Evaluation of surface features for delineating the ordinary high water boundary on playas in the arid Western United States
AN  - 19401355; 8702713
AB  - Delineation of Ordinary High Water (OHW) under the Clean Water Act (CWA) is based on the use of physical features that represent 'ordinary' levels of ponding or flowing waters. On arid western United States playas, where the climate is an unevenly distributed series of precipitation events that are spread over many years, the use of surface water monitoring can be limiting due to occasional years with almost no hydrological information. To substitute for a general lack of monitored surface water conditions, we used processed satellite images and precise topographic modeling to determine ponded water areas. To test the reliability of select field indicators for delineation purposes, we used a two-phase field test on a hard playa in the Mojave Desert, California. First, we verified that ponded water was associated with these playa surface features. Then, to test the statistical reliability of these surface features, we developed a decile ponding zone map by stacking processed satellite imagery, collected detailed laser altimetry (LiDAR) elevation data, sampled surface features occurring in the various decile zones, and developed reliability statements for these OHW delineation features. These field indicators represent surface features that have developed over a series of years representing the wetter portion of the El Nino climatic cycle.

T1  - 3D finite volume groundwater and heat transport modeling with non-orthogonal grids, using a coordinate transformation method
AN  - 1287378734; 2013-018819
AB  - Many popular groundwater modeling codes are based on the finite differences or finite volume method for orthogonal grids. In cases of complex subsurface geometries this type of grid either leads to coarse geometric representations or to extremely fine meshes. We use a coordinate transformation method (CTM) to circumvent this shortcoming. In computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this method has been applied successfully to the general Navier-Stokes equation. The method is based on tensor analysis and performs a transformation of a curvilinear into a rectangular unit grid, on which a modified formulation of the differential equations is applied. Therefore, it is not necessary to reformulate the code in total. We applied the CTM to an existing three-dimensional code (SHEMAT), a simulator for heat conduction and advection in porous media. The finite volume discretization scheme for the non-orthogonal, structured, hexahedral grid leads to a 19-point stencil and a correspondingly banded system matrix. The implementation is straightforward and it is possible to use some existing routines without modification. The accuracy of the modified code is demonstrated for single phase flow on a two-dimensional analytical solution for flow and heat transport. Additionally, a simple case of potential flow is shown for a two-dimensional grid which is increasingly deformed. The result reveals that the corresponding error increases only slightly. Finally, a thermal free-convection benchmark is discussed. The result shows, that the solution obtained with the new code is in good agreement with the ones obtained by other codes.

T1  - SAN DIEGO CREEK WATERSHED SPECIAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN / WATERSHED STREAMBED ALTERATION AGREEMENT PROCESS (SAMP/WSSA PROCESS), SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36410596; 13311
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of two arrangements to streamline and otherwise improve the ability of federal and state authorities to issue permits for projects resulting in alteration of the San Diego Creek watershed in San Diego County, California is proposed in this programmatic EIS process. The arrangements, known as Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) and the Watershed Streambed Alteration Agreement Process (WSSA), would provide new frameworks for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Fish and Game in addressing permit applications. The underlying goal of the SAMP would be to support riparian ecosystem conservation and management by comprehensively assessing the watershed's aquatic resources and developing a strategic and coordinated regulatory approach encompassing permitting and mitigation. The overarching principles for the watershed based on knowledge of watershed resources would include: 1) no net loss of acreage and functionality of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.; 2) maintenance or restoration of hydrologic, water quality, and habitat integrity; 3) protection of headwater areas; 4) maintenance, protection, or restoration of diverse and continuous riparian corridors; 5) maintenance or restoration of floodplain connections; 6) maintenance and/or restoration of sediment and transport equilibria; 7) maintenance of aquatic buffers for protected riparian corridors; and 8) protection of riparian areas and associated habitats supporting sensitive species and their habitats. Applying these principles, an analytical framework based on a landscape-level functional assessment of the watersheds riparian ecosystem would be completed. Using this framework, a watershed-specific permitting process would be developed incorporating resource-based permitting protocols. The remaining two components of the system would involve development of a strategic mitigation plan and a mitigation coordination program. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers three alternatives: 1)the No Action Alternative, which would maintain the existing case-by-case permitting process; 2) denial of all permits that would encroach on state or federal jurisdictional areas of either of the principal agencies; and 3) denial of all permits that would encroach on jurisdiction areas of the principals, excepting permits for bridges and utility lines, which would be considered on a case-by-case basis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SAMP/WSSA arrangements would prioritize avoidance of impacts to high quality aquatic resources and provide for targeted enhancement and restoration measures related to regulatory actions that would maintain and improve the watershed's aquatic resource functions and vales over the long-term. SAMP would increase the cooperation and coordination of federal, state, and local governments as well as state and federal resource agencies, local landowners, and other stakeholders. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Activities resulting from the permitting process that would temporarily or permanently affect watershed resources, including stream channels and banks, associated wetlands and other riparian lands, and forest and meadow vegetation, would include grading, stockpiling, trenching, construction and use of culverts, sediment removal, temporary stream and permanent diversions, dewatering, construction of temporary and permanent access roads and bridges and culverts, fire abatement and fuels management measures, clearance of work areas, stormwater management, and residential, commercial, and industrial land development. Habitat and habitat corridors, including resources for sensitive species, would be lost or degraded in some cases, though such losses would be mitigated, when possible, by creation of habitat elsewhere. Cultural resources could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - PRAIRIE PARKWAY STUDY, GRUNDY, KENDALL, AND KANE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.
AN  - 36404325; 13307
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 11.5 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). The preferred alternative is 37.1 miles long. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred action, rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,634 acres, would result in the displacement of 21 residences, 2.3 acres of wetlands, 51 acres of forest, 80.5 acres within 19 100-year floodplains, 2,282 acres of active cropland and 1.1 acre of active orchard, 2,505 acres of prime farmland soils, 71 acres of farmland soils of statewide or local importance. A total of 258 farms and 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 62 streams. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Two state-designated natural areas would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 91 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Two state-designated natural areas would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 91 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 11.5 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). The preferred alternative is 37.1 miles long. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred action, rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,634 acres, would result in the displacement of 21 residences, 2.3 acres of wetlands, 51 acres of forest, 80.5 acres within 19 100-year floodplains, 2,282 acres of active cropland and 1.1 acre of active orchard, 2,505 acres of prime farmland soils, 71 acres of farmland soils of statewide or local importance.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 11.5 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). The preferred alternative is 37.1 miles long. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred action, rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,634 acres, would result in the displacement of 21 residences, 2.3 acres of wetlands, 51 acres of forest, 80.5 acres within 19 100-year floodplains, 2,282 acres of active cropland and 1.1 acre of active orchard, 2,505 acres of prime farmland soils, 71 acres of farmland soils of statewide or local importance. A total of 258 farms and 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 62 streams. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Two state-designated natural areas would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 91 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred action, rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,634 acres, would result in the displacement of 21 residences, 2.3 acres of wetlands, 51 acres of forest, 80.5 acres within 19 100-year floodplains, 2,282 acres of active cropland and 1.1 acre of active orchard, 2,505 acres of prime farmland soils, 71 acres of farmland soils of statewide or local importance. A total of 258 farms and 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 62 streams. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Two state-designated natural areas would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 91 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 11.5 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). The preferred alternative is 37.1 miles long.

AN  - 36380661; 13307-080073_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 11.5 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). The preferred alternative is 37.1 miles long. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred action, rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,634 acres, would result in the displacement of 21 residences, 2.3 acres of wetlands, 51 acres of forest, 80.5 acres within 19 100-year floodplains, 2,282 acres of active cropland and 1.1 acre of active orchard, 2,505 acres of prime farmland soils, 71 acres of farmland soils of statewide or local importance. A total of 258 farms and 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 62 streams. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Two state-designated natural areas would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 91 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T2  - SOUTHERN DELIVERY SYSTEM: CONTRACTS FOR USE OF EXCESS STORAGE CAPACITY IN THE PUEBLO RESERVOIR, ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN, COLORADO.
AN  - 36391760; 13306-080072_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the cities of Colorado Springs and Fountain, the Security Water District, and the Pueblo Metropolitan District is proposed to allow for the development of a water supply project to be known as the Southern Delivery System (SDS) Project in Colorado. The contract participants have a need to use developed and undeveloped water supplies to meet most of all projected future demands through 2046. Under the proposed action, the abovementioned contracts, each with a 40-year term, would allow for the use of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project facilities and the excess storage capacity in the Pueblo Reservoir and the exchange of water between the reservoir and the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project reservoirs in the upper Arkansas River basin. Specifically, the contracts would cover storage of water in the reservoir, conveyance of water through facilities associated with the reservoir, and exchange of water between the reservoir and Reclamation-operated reservoirs in the upper Arkansas River basin. A special use permit or other agreement from Reclamation could be necessary to connect the SDS Project pipeline to Reclamation facilities. Pueblo West would continue to maintain its existing conveyance with Reclamation to use the joint use manifold from the Pueblo Reservoir. A third federal action analyzed in this EIS is the approval of an administrative trade of an equal amount of capacity in the Fountain Valley Authority pipeline for capacity in the SDS Project untreated water pipeline and water treatment plant. The trade would allow Fountain to use a portion of Colorado Springs' Fountain Valley Authority capacity in trade for Colorado Springs' use of an equal amount of Fountain's capacity in the SDS Project. Transportation of the water taken under the contracts would require the installation of 2,200 feet of 78-inch pipeline, capable of conveying 96 million gallons per day (mgd), and 1,100 feet of 72-inch pipeline capable of conveying 78 mgd; installation of a 160-foot, 36-inch pipeline capable of conveying 18 mgd of untreated water to the Pueblo West Pump Station; a 43-mile, 66-inch pipeline and three pump stations capable of conveying 78 mgd of untreated water, a 35,500-acre-foot local terminal storage reservoir to store untreated water; a water treatment plant with a 109 mgd capacity to provide potable water for municipal and industrial use; transmission pipelines to convey water from the water treatment plant to local distribution systems; and a 28,500-acre-foot return flow storage reservoir and associated conveyance system to store and release Colorado Springs' reusable return flows. In addition, the project would require the relocation of electrical transmission lines at the local terminal storage reservoir site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SDS Project would provide a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the contractees's consumers. The participants need to develop additional water storage, delivery, and treatment capacity to provide system redundancy. Finally, the participants wish to perfect and deliver their existing Arkansas River basin water rights. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline and water treatment plant construction and construction of ancillary facilities, such as transmission lines and pumping plants, would displace soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The pipeline would traverse sensitive desert land, including land providing habitat for federally protected animal species. Facility siting could result in the restriction or elimination of future mineral extraction in underlying areas. The availability of surplus water would spur residential, commercial, and industrial development as well as the development of irrigated farmland, resulting in even greater conversion of desert and other natural lands. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Reform Act of 1986.

A special use permit or other agreement from Reclamation could be necessary to connect the SDS Project pipeline to Reclamation facilities. Pueblo West would continue to maintain its existing conveyance with Reclamation to use the joint use manifold from the Pueblo Reservoir. A third federal action analyzed in this EIS is the approval of an administrative trade of an equal amount of capacity in the Fountain Valley Authority pipeline for capacity in the SDS Project untreated water pipeline and water treatment plant. The trade would allow Fountain to use a portion of Colorado Springs' Fountain Valley Authority capacity in trade for Colorado Springs' use of an equal amount of Fountain's capacity in the SDS Project. Transportation of the water taken under the contracts would require the installation of 2,200 feet of 78-inch pipeline, capable of conveying 96 million gallons per day (mgd), and 1,100 feet of 72-inch pipeline capable of conveying 78 mgd; installation of a 160-foot, 36-inch pipeline capable of conveying 18 mgd of untreated water to the Pueblo West Pump Station; a 43-mile, 66-inch pipeline and three pump stations capable of conveying 78 mgd of untreated water, a 35,500-acre-foot local terminal storage reservoir to store untreated water; a water treatment plant with a 109 mgd capacity to provide potable water for municipal and industrial use; transmission pipelines to convey water from the water treatment plant to local distribution systems; and a 28,500-acre-foot return flow storage reservoir and associated conveyance system to store and release Colorado Springs' reusable return flows. In addition, the project would require the relocation of electrical transmission lines at the local terminal storage reservoir site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SDS Project would provide a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the contractees's consumers. The participants need to develop additional water storage, delivery, and treatment capacity to provide system redundancy. Finally, the participants wish to perfect and deliver their existing Arkansas River basin water rights. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline and water treatment plant construction and construction of ancillary facilities, such as transmission lines and pumping plants, would displace soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The pipeline would traverse sensitive desert land, including land providing habitat for federally protected animal species. Facility siting could result in the restriction or elimination of future mineral extraction in underlying areas. The availability of surplus water would spur residential, commercial, and industrial development as well as the development of irrigated farmland, resulting in even greater conversion of desert and other natural lands. LEGAL MANDATES: Reclamation Reform Act of 1986.

AN  - 36381985; 13306-080072_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the cities of Colorado Springs and Fountain, the Security Water District, and the Pueblo Metropolitan District is proposed to allow for the development of a water supply project to be known as the Southern Delivery System (SDS) Project in Colorado. The contract participants have a need to use developed and undeveloped water supplies to meet most of all projected future demands through 2046. Under the proposed action, the abovementioned contracts, each with a 40-year term, would allow for the use of Fryingpan-Arkansas Project facilities and the excess storage capacity in the Pueblo Reservoir and the exchange of water between the reservoir and the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project reservoirs in the upper Arkansas River basin. Specifically, the contracts would cover storage of water in the reservoir, conveyance of water through facilities associated with the reservoir, and exchange of water between the reservoir and Reclamation-operated reservoirs in the upper Arkansas River basin. A special use permit or other agreement from Reclamation could be necessary to connect the SDS Project pipeline to Reclamation facilities. Pueblo West would continue to maintain its existing conveyance with Reclamation to use the joint use manifold from the Pueblo Reservoir. A third federal action analyzed in this EIS is the approval of an administrative trade of an equal amount of capacity in the Fountain Valley Authority pipeline for capacity in the SDS Project untreated water pipeline and water treatment plant. The trade would allow Fountain to use a portion of Colorado Springs' Fountain Valley Authority capacity in trade for Colorado Springs' use of an equal amount of Fountain's capacity in the SDS Project. Transportation of the water taken under the contracts would require the installation of 2,200 feet of 78-inch pipeline, capable of conveying 96 million gallons per day (mgd), and 1,100 feet of 72-inch pipeline capable of conveying 78 mgd; installation of a 160-foot, 36-inch pipeline capable of conveying 18 mgd of untreated water to the Pueblo West Pump Station; a 43-mile, 66-inch pipeline and three pump stations capable of conveying 78 mgd of untreated water, a 35,500-acre-foot local terminal storage reservoir to store untreated water; a water treatment plant with a 109 mgd capacity to provide potable water for municipal and industrial use; transmission pipelines to convey water from the water treatment plant to local distribution systems; and a 28,500-acre-foot return flow storage reservoir and associated conveyance system to store and release Colorado Springs' reusable return flows.

T2  - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
AN  - 36392694; 13301-080067_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. This Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay alternative and a suspension alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the alternative considered, estimated cost of the build alternatives range from $1.28 billion to $1.49 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four city government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN. [Part 4 of 5]
T2  - DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
AN  - 36381844; 13301-080067_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge and associated infrastructure to provide for a connection between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, Canada is proposed. This Detroit River International Crossing is the most used trade corridor between the United States and Canada. The project would consist of a road connection from Interstate 75 (I-75) to a new U.S. Customs inspection plaza and a new bridge to Canada. The Ontario and federal governments of Canada are undertaking similar studies for the construction of the Canadian section of the bridge, the Canadian plaza and the Canadian connection to Highway 401, the freeway to Canada. This EIS process addressed only the U.S. project. Nine bridge build alternatives and six interchange alternatives, as well as a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The bridge alternatives would involve crossing the river at one of three locations. Two bridge design alternatives are considered, specifically, a cable-stay alternative and a suspension alternative. All piers supporting each of the three proposed bridges would e on land to avoid interference with navigation on the Detroit River. Depending on the alternative considered, estimated cost of the build alternatives range from $1.28 billion to $1.49 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide for safe, efficient, and secure movement of people and goods across the Canadian border in the Detroit River area, supporting the economies of Michigan, Ontario, and Canada. The bridge would also support the mobility needs of national and civil defense interests with respect to the protection of the homeland. Increase long-term border-crossing capacity would be met. System connectivity would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way developments would result in the displacement of 324 to 369 occupied residential units, four to 19 vacant residential units, and 43 to 56 occupied commercial units, 24 to 30 occupied commercial units. From 685 to 920 employees would be affected by commercial displacements. Other land affected would include two to four city government facilities, one or two state/federal government facilities, five to eight places of worship, and up to one medical facility. Normal traffic patterns would be disrupted due to interchange closures and the rerouting of three us lines, and two to four pedestrian crossings would be permanently removed. Socioeconomic impacts would disproportionately impact minorities and low-income residents in the study area. Three sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be displaced. A small portion of wetland would be displaced. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR (SARI) PROTECTION/RELOCATION, ORANGE AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2000). [Part 3 of 3]
T2  - SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR (SARI) PROTECTION/RELOCATION, ORANGE AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 2000).
AN  - 36383122; 13314-080080_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The relocation of the Santa Ana River Interceptor Line (SARI) is proposed in relation to the Santa Ana River Mainstream Flood Control Project (SARP) in Orange and Riverside counties, California. The SARP has been authorize to provide flood protection to areas susceptible to 100- to 190-year-frequency floods. The protection provided by SARP extends to San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties, encompassing over 2.0 million residents and numerous businesses and infrastructure improvements. The proposal at hand would reduce the risk of damage to the SARI to allow for operation of the SARP, with particular reference to releases from the raised Prado Dam of 30,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The 97-mile SARI pipeline system, which currently lies within the floodplain of the Santa Ana River, conveys wastewater from Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties to a wastewater treatment point near the Pacific Ocean. The soil above a segment of the SARI downstream of Prado Dam, once buried at a depth of 20 feet, has been eroding such that several stretches of the pipe have been exposed, requiring costly emergency actions to protect the line. These exposures were caused by flows of less than 10,000 cfs. Current releases and the additional impact from future, increased releases are expected to expose larger segments of the SARI possibly resulting in system failure and the associated risk to public health and costly cleanup measures. The project corridor begins immediately downstream of the dam and extends downstream to Weir Canyon Road, paralleling a 6.88-mile segment of the river. Two portions of the SARI would be protected under the proposed action, as follows: 1) a segment extending along the north bank of the river from 0.5 mile downstream of the dam to a point 2,500 feet downstream and 2) a segment extending from the eastern boundary of Orange County to the SARI Ranch development. For the Orange County segments, four alignment alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered. In Riverside County, two bank protection alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered. The tentatively recommended Orange County alternative would involve relocation of the SARI to the south and placement of the pipeline in a relatively shallow trench for burial. The tentatively recommended Riverside County alternative would provide for a 2,500-foot section of grouted stone bank protection along the SARI. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocation of the pipeline, combined with bank protection against the erosion of soil above the pipeline alignment would ensure the future safety of the SARI against exposure to damaging flows downstream of the Prado Dam, a particularly important consideration as future flows will sometimes have volumes as much as three times those of current flow levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species would be disturbed and/or destroyed. Possible acquisition of pipeline and bank protection easements from residential landowners would limit the affected owners with respect to development and use of their property. Local public land use plans could also be affected by easements. Bank protection would result in permanent losses of recreational land within the Coal Canyon Wildlife Corridor of Chino Hills State Park and along the bike path paralleling the river. State Route 91 and Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railroad rights-of-way would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the Santa Ana Mainstream Project, see 00-0123D, Volume 24, Number 1 and 01-0076F, Volume 25, Number 1, respectively.

Two portions of the SARI would be protected under the proposed action, as follows: 1) a segment extending along the north bank of the river from 0.5 mile downstream of the dam to a point 2,500 feet downstream and 2) a segment extending from the eastern boundary of Orange County to the SARI Ranch development. For the Orange County segments, four alignment alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered. In Riverside County, two bank protection alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered. The tentatively recommended Orange County alternative would involve relocation of the SARI to the south and placement of the pipeline in a relatively shallow trench for burial. The tentatively recommended Riverside County alternative would provide for a 2,500-foot section of grouted stone bank protection along the SARI. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Relocation of the pipeline, combined with bank protection against the erosion of soil above the pipeline alignment would ensure the future safety of the SARI against exposure to damaging flows downstream of the Prado Dam, a particularly important consideration as future flows will sometimes have volumes as much as three times those of current flow levels. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species would be disturbed and/or destroyed. Possible acquisition of pipeline and bank protection easements from residential landowners would limit the affected owners with respect to development and use of their property. Local public land use plans could also be affected by easements. Bank protection would result in permanent losses of recreational land within the Coal Canyon Wildlife Corridor of Chino Hills State Park and along the bike path paralleling the river. State Route 91 and Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railroad rights-of-way would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the Santa Ana Mainstream Project, see 00-0123D, Volume 24, Number 1 and 01-0076F, Volume 25, Number 1, respectively.

T2  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36392696; 13287-080053_0009
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of South Capitol Street from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast (SE) to Independence Avenue and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway and from Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (MLK) to South Capitol Street in the District of Columbia (District) are proposed. The project would include the replacement Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the reconfiguration of South Capitol Street as an urban boulevard providing a grand, scenic gateway to the nation's capital. As the primary corridor in L'Enfants 1791 Plan for the City of Washington, South Capitol Street was envisioned as one of the symbolic gateways to the city and its monumental core. The thoroughfare currently connects downtown Washington to neighborhoods in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the District and Prince Georges County, Maryland. Currently, the street lacks any characteristics of its historic and intended function as a gateway. Present conditions are not appropriate to this important function. South Capitol Street is an urban freeway that has become a conduit for through traffic at the expense of serving the needs of residents and businesses in the corridor. The transportation is obsolete, in a deteriorating condition, and fails to provide necessary connections to community destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The condition of this important artery is impeding development along the corridor and along the Anacostia River waterfront, where extensive economic development plans are underway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under either build alternatives, the project would reconstruct South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard; provide at-grade intersections to provide turning movements; replace Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge; reconstruct the bridge carrying I-295 over South Capitol Street; widen the bridge carrying I-295 over Howard Road; and reconstruct portions of Firth Sterling Avenue SE, Howard Road SE, and New Jersey Avenue SE; widen MLK Avenue. Bridge over the Suitland Parkway to provide for a new multi-use trail. Build Alternative 1 would add a ramp connecting southbound Interstate 295 (I-295) to the northbound Suitland Parkway. Build Alternative 2 would replace the existing Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange with an urban diamond interchange, allowing all movements between the two highways. Estimated construction costs without the new Fredrick Douglass Bridge range from $248 million to $408 million; new bridge costs range from $279 million to $373 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the affected portions of South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway and the associated local roads, as appropriate, would improve transportation safety, mobility, and accessibility along the corridor, thereby enhancing planned economic development in a currently socioeconomically disadvantaged area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require the development of 57 to 77 acres of rights-of-way, resulting in the displacement, under either alternative, of five commercial units, two industrial warehouses, an auto repair shop, and a heliport. Fifteen or 19 hazardous waste sites would be encountered by construction workers. Only 0.1 acre of wildlife habitat would be lost, along with three live specimen trees. The project would degrade the historic values associated with Suitland Parkway, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - MIDCONTINENT EXPRESS PIPELINE PROJECT, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS. [Part 6 of 7]
T2  - MIDCONTINENT EXPRESS PIPELINE PROJECT, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS.
AN  - 36391598; 13283-080049_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of South Capitol Street from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast (SE) to Independence Avenue and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway and from Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (MLK) to South Capitol Street in the District of Columbia (District) are proposed. The project would include the replacement Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the reconfiguration of South Capitol Street as an urban boulevard providing a grand, scenic gateway to the nation's capital. As the primary corridor in L'Enfants 1791 Plan for the City of Washington, South Capitol Street was envisioned as one of the symbolic gateways to the city and its monumental core. The thoroughfare currently connects downtown Washington to neighborhoods in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the District and Prince Georges County, Maryland. Currently, the street lacks any characteristics of its historic and intended function as a gateway. Present conditions are not appropriate to this important function. South Capitol Street is an urban freeway that has become a conduit for through traffic at the expense of serving the needs of residents and businesses in the corridor. The transportation is obsolete, in a deteriorating condition, and fails to provide necessary connections to community destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The condition of this important artery is impeding development along the corridor and along the Anacostia River waterfront, where extensive economic development plans are underway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under either build alternatives, the project would reconstruct South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard; provide at-grade intersections to provide turning movements; replace Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge; reconstruct the bridge carrying I-295 over South Capitol Street; widen the bridge carrying I-295 over Howard Road; and reconstruct portions of Firth Sterling Avenue SE, Howard Road SE, and New Jersey Avenue SE; widen MLK Avenue. Bridge over the Suitland Parkway to provide for a new multi-use trail. Build Alternative 1 would add a ramp connecting southbound Interstate 295 (I-295) to the northbound Suitland Parkway. Build Alternative 2 would replace the existing Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange with an urban diamond interchange, allowing all movements between the two highways. Estimated construction costs without the new Fredrick Douglass Bridge range from $248 million to $408 million; new bridge costs range from $279 million to $373 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the affected portions of South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway and the associated local roads, as appropriate, would improve transportation safety, mobility, and accessibility along the corridor, thereby enhancing planned economic development in a currently socioeconomically disadvantaged area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require the development of 57 to 77 acres of rights-of-way, resulting in the displacement, under either alternative, of five commercial units, two industrial warehouses, an auto repair shop, and a heliport. Fifteen or 19 hazardous waste sites would be encountered by construction workers. Only 0.1 acre of wildlife habitat would be lost, along with three live specimen trees. The project would degrade the historic values associated with Suitland Parkway, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. [Part 5 of 13]
T2  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36382311; 13287-080053_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of South Capitol Street from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast (SE) to Independence Avenue and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway and from Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (MLK) to South Capitol Street in the District of Columbia (District) are proposed. The project would include the replacement Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the reconfiguration of South Capitol Street as an urban boulevard providing a grand, scenic gateway to the nation's capital. As the primary corridor in L'Enfants 1791 Plan for the City of Washington, South Capitol Street was envisioned as one of the symbolic gateways to the city and its monumental core. The thoroughfare currently connects downtown Washington to neighborhoods in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the District and Prince Georges County, Maryland. Currently, the street lacks any characteristics of its historic and intended function as a gateway. Present conditions are not appropriate to this important function. South Capitol Street is an urban freeway that has become a conduit for through traffic at the expense of serving the needs of residents and businesses in the corridor. The transportation is obsolete, in a deteriorating condition, and fails to provide necessary connections to community destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The condition of this important artery is impeding development along the corridor and along the Anacostia River waterfront, where extensive economic development plans are underway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under either build alternatives, the project would reconstruct South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard; provide at-grade intersections to provide turning movements; replace Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge; reconstruct the bridge carrying I-295 over South Capitol Street; widen the bridge carrying I-295 over Howard Road; and reconstruct portions of Firth Sterling Avenue SE, Howard Road SE, and New Jersey Avenue SE; widen MLK Avenue. Bridge over the Suitland Parkway to provide for a new multi-use trail. Build Alternative 1 would add a ramp connecting southbound Interstate 295 (I-295) to the northbound Suitland Parkway. Build Alternative 2 would replace the existing Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange with an urban diamond interchange, allowing all movements between the two highways. Estimated construction costs without the new Fredrick Douglass Bridge range from $248 million to $408 million; new bridge costs range from $279 million to $373 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the affected portions of South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway and the associated local roads, as appropriate, would improve transportation safety, mobility, and accessibility along the corridor, thereby enhancing planned economic development in a currently socioeconomically disadvantaged area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require the development of 57 to 77 acres of rights-of-way, resulting in the displacement, under either alternative, of five commercial units, two industrial warehouses, an auto repair shop, and a heliport. Fifteen or 19 hazardous waste sites would be encountered by construction workers. Only 0.1 acre of wildlife habitat would be lost, along with three live specimen trees. The project would degrade the historic values associated with Suitland Parkway, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN  - 36382141; 13283-080049_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 36381623; 13283-080049_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Midcontinent Express Pipeline, in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas is proposed by Midcontinent Express Pipeline, LLC (MEP). Key topics addressed in this EIS process include those related to geology, soils, water use and quality, vegetation and wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, land use, recreational and special use areas, visual resources, socioeconomics, cultural resources, air and noise pollution, system reliability and safety, and cumulative impacts. Under the proposed action, MEP would construct and operate 504.3 miles of new 30-, 36-, and 42-inch pipeline from Bryan County, Oklahoma to a terminus in Choctaw County, Alabama; 4.1 miles of 16-inch lateral pipeline in Richland and Madison parishes and Louisiana. Ancillary facilities would include installation of a total of 111,720 horsepower of compression at one booster and four new mainline compressor stations; 13 new metering and regulating stations; and other appurtenant facilities, including mainline valves and pig launcher and receiver facilities. The pipeline facilities would interconnect with as many as 13 natural gas pipelines owned by numerous operators. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, major route alternatives, and route variations POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would transport up to 1.5 million dekatherms of natural gas per day from production fields in eastern Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to market hubs servicing the eastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 8,394 acres of wetlands, upland vegetation, and the associated soils, and 3,148 acres would remain within the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and within the sites of aboveground facilities. Farmland, forest, including timberland, and special-use areas, including recreation areas and preserves. A total of 1,027 surface waterbodies, ranging from small intermittent streams to a Mississippi River crossing exceeding 2,700 feet in length, would be affected temporarily. The project would affect 378 wetlands, disturbing or displacing 308.4 acres. Specials status wetlands, including several extensive and high-quality cypress-tupelo forested wetlands would be disturbed or displaced. Habitat of 21 federally listed threatened or endangered plant and animal species would be traversed and displaced. Ground surveys to date have indicated that the one archaeologic site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and 11 potentially eligible archaeologic sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. [Part 3 of 13]
T2  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36380320; 13287-080053_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of South Capitol Street from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast (SE) to Independence Avenue and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway and from Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (MLK) to South Capitol Street in the District of Columbia (District) are proposed. The project would include the replacement Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the reconfiguration of South Capitol Street as an urban boulevard providing a grand, scenic gateway to the nation's capital. As the primary corridor in L'Enfants 1791 Plan for the City of Washington, South Capitol Street was envisioned as one of the symbolic gateways to the city and its monumental core. The thoroughfare currently connects downtown Washington to neighborhoods in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the District and Prince Georges County, Maryland. Currently, the street lacks any characteristics of its historic and intended function as a gateway. Present conditions are not appropriate to this important function. South Capitol Street is an urban freeway that has become a conduit for through traffic at the expense of serving the needs of residents and businesses in the corridor. The transportation is obsolete, in a deteriorating condition, and fails to provide necessary connections to community destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The condition of this important artery is impeding development along the corridor and along the Anacostia River waterfront, where extensive economic development plans are underway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under either build alternatives, the project would reconstruct South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard; provide at-grade intersections to provide turning movements; replace Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge; reconstruct the bridge carrying I-295 over South Capitol Street; widen the bridge carrying I-295 over Howard Road; and reconstruct portions of Firth Sterling Avenue SE, Howard Road SE, and New Jersey Avenue SE; widen MLK Avenue. Bridge over the Suitland Parkway to provide for a new multi-use trail. Build Alternative 1 would add a ramp connecting southbound Interstate 295 (I-295) to the northbound Suitland Parkway. Build Alternative 2 would replace the existing Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange with an urban diamond interchange, allowing all movements between the two highways. Estimated construction costs without the new Fredrick Douglass Bridge range from $248 million to $408 million; new bridge costs range from $279 million to $373 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the affected portions of South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway and the associated local roads, as appropriate, would improve transportation safety, mobility, and accessibility along the corridor, thereby enhancing planned economic development in a currently socioeconomically disadvantaged area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require the development of 57 to 77 acres of rights-of-way, resulting in the displacement, under either alternative, of five commercial units, two industrial warehouses, an auto repair shop, and a heliport. Fifteen or 19 hazardous waste sites would be encountered by construction workers. Only 0.1 acre of wildlife habitat would be lost, along with three live specimen trees. The project would degrade the historic values associated with Suitland Parkway, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. [Part 2 of 13]
T2  - SOUTH CAPITOL STREET, INDEPENDENCE AVENUE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
AN  - 36375177; 13287-080053_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of South Capitol Street from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast (SE) to Independence Avenue and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway and from Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE (MLK) to South Capitol Street in the District of Columbia (District) are proposed. The project would include the replacement Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the reconfiguration of South Capitol Street as an urban boulevard providing a grand, scenic gateway to the nation's capital. As the primary corridor in L'Enfants 1791 Plan for the City of Washington, South Capitol Street was envisioned as one of the symbolic gateways to the city and its monumental core. The thoroughfare currently connects downtown Washington to neighborhoods in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the District and Prince Georges County, Maryland. Currently, the street lacks any characteristics of its historic and intended function as a gateway. Present conditions are not appropriate to this important function. South Capitol Street is an urban freeway that has become a conduit for through traffic at the expense of serving the needs of residents and businesses in the corridor. The transportation is obsolete, in a deteriorating condition, and fails to provide necessary connections to community destinations for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists. The condition of this important artery is impeding development along the corridor and along the Anacostia River waterfront, where extensive economic development plans are underway. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Under either build alternatives, the project would reconstruct South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard; provide at-grade intersections to provide turning movements; replace Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge; reconstruct the bridge carrying I-295 over South Capitol Street; widen the bridge carrying I-295 over Howard Road; and reconstruct portions of Firth Sterling Avenue SE, Howard Road SE, and New Jersey Avenue SE; widen MLK Avenue. Bridge over the Suitland Parkway to provide for a new multi-use trail. Build Alternative 1 would add a ramp connecting southbound Interstate 295 (I-295) to the northbound Suitland Parkway. Build Alternative 2 would replace the existing Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange with an urban diamond interchange, allowing all movements between the two highways. Estimated construction costs without the new Fredrick Douglass Bridge range from $248 million to $408 million; new bridge costs range from $279 million to $373 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction of the affected portions of South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway and the associated local roads, as appropriate, would improve transportation safety, mobility, and accessibility along the corridor, thereby enhancing planned economic development in a currently socioeconomically disadvantaged area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, the project would require the development of 57 to 77 acres of rights-of-way, resulting in the displacement, under either alternative, of five commercial units, two industrial warehouses, an auto repair shop, and a heliport. Fifteen or 19 hazardous waste sites would be encountered by construction workers. Only 0.1 acre of wildlife habitat would be lost, along with three live specimen trees. The project would degrade the historic values associated with Suitland Parkway, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Uptake of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) by the earthworm Eisenia fetida through dermal contact.
AN  - 70098660; 17996277
AB  - The explosive compound hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) has been shown to cause both lethal and sublethal (reproductive and neurotoxic) effects in exposed oligochaetes. However, whether worms take up CL-20 and how much CL-20 enters worm bodies leading to toxicity (e.g., lethality) remain to be determined. In the present study, we used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and radiolabeled tracer methods to investigate the CL-20 uptake in the whole worm body after contact exposures. Worms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to filter paper spiked with non-radioactive or [U-(14)C]-labeled CL-20 for 1-3 d. The radiolabeled tracer method allowed us to detect the parent compound and transformation products in worms exposed to as low as 0.04 microg CL-20 cm(-2) of filter paper. The HPLC method without radiolabeled tracer was far less sensitive with a detection limit of 2.17 microg CL-20 cm(-2). Using the radiolabeled tracer, we were able to demonstrate that the worm body concentration linearly correlated to the filter paper concentration < or =0.34 microg cm(-2) (r=0.94) if no breakdown products are assumed. At higher concentrations, the body concentration increased slowly and saturated at around 11 microg g(-1) dry mass resulting in an estimated lethal critical body burden of 10-15 microg CL-20 g(-1) dry mass. These findings demonstrate that CL-20 or potential transformation products are taken into the earthworm body through dermal contact. This information should prove valuable in assessing the bioaccumulation potential and ecological risks of CL-20.

T1  - Mineralogy and magnetic properties of basaltic substrate soils; Kaho'olawe and Big Island, Hawaii
AN  - 51077678; 2008-084285
AB  - Magnetic behavior of soils can seriously hamper the performance of geophysical sensors. Currently, we have little understanding of the types of minerals responsible for the magnetic behavior, as well as their distribution in space and evolution through time. This study investigated the magnetic characteristics and mineralogy of Fe-rich soils developed on basaltic substrate in Hawaii. We measured the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility (chi (sub lf) ) and frequency dependence (chi (sub fd) %) across three test areas in a well-developed eroded soil on Kaho'olawe and in two young soils on the Big Island of Hawaii. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), chemical dissolution, thermal analysis, and temperature-dependent magnetic studies were used to characterize soil development and mineralogy for samples from soil pits on Kaho'olawe, surface samples from all three test areas, and unweathered basalt from the Big Island of Hawaii. The measurements show a general increase in magnetic properties with increasing soil development. The XRF Fe data ranged from 13% for fresh basalt and young soils on the Big Island to 58% for material from the B horizon of Kaho'olawe soils. Dithionite-extractable and oxalate-extractable Fe percentages increase with soil development and correlate with chi (sub lf) and chi (sub fd) %, respectively. Results from the temperature-dependent susceptibility measurements show that the high soil magnetic properties observed in geophysical surveys in Kaho'olawe are entirely due to neoformed minerals. The results of our studies have implications for the existing soil survey of Kaho'olawe and help identify methods to characterize magnetic minerals in tropical soils.

T1  - LAHAINA SMALL BOAT HARBOR FERRY PIER IMPROVEMENTS, ISLAND OF LANA'I, HAWAII.
AN  - 36409787; 13277
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a new inter-island ferry pier approximately 60 feet north of the existing pier at Lahaina Small Boat Harbor on Lana'i, Hawaii are proposed. The state of Hawaii recognizes that the existing commuter ferry operations from the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i to the island of Maui are vital to the economic and social well-being of the County of Maui and to the state. Since the terrorists attacks on the eastern Continental United Status of September 1, 2001, air travel from Maui to the smaller islands has been severely cut back. The declining level of air service connecting the three islands, coupled with the increased travel times and fares, has increased demand for ferry services, and this demand is expected to increase. Hence, the state has proposed the addition of ferry and related harbor capacity, a proposal of which the pier project at hand is a part. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed pier (Alternative 1), which would be an independent structure built on piles, would extend 115 feet and have a width of 35 feet. The structure would be able to accommodate approximately 100 passengers. A low-rise, open-sided structure on the deck of the new pier would provide shade and shelter for pier users. Ancillary action would include dredging to widen the entrance channel and berthing area to the north of the new pier; construction of two sewage pump out stations; construction of a concrete pedestrian walkway measuring 16 feet by 60 feet to connect the existing pier with the new pier; replacement of the existing administrative office and ferry ticket booth; improvements to the passenger loading and drop off area; relocation and expansion of onsite parking stalls; sidewalk expansion along the northwestern portion of Hotel Street; and resurfacing of a portion of Wharf Street. Alternatives 2 or 3 would provide for an attached, rather than independent, pile-supported pier and a single-story, rather than two-story, shade structure. Depending on the action alternative chosen, estimated cost of the project ranges from $7.7 million to $8.8 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: Increasing the capacity of inter-island ferry services would provide a reasonably priced means for residents of, and visitors to, the islands to move easily from one to another. The availability of inexpensive, reasonably expeditious transportation services would increase inter-island social solidarity and maintain important economic ties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the action alternative selected, the new structures would obstruct the view of the historic seawall and/or some ocean views. The project would encroach on a state administered conservation district and the Lahaina Historic District, the latter being listed in the State and National Register of Historic Places. Approximately 2,720 square feet of coral reef flat would be dredged and replaced by sand habitat. Dredging would also affect essential fish habitat within the harbor. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - Economic Impacts from Spending by Private Dock Owners at Lake Barkley
AN  - 21146506; 9047337
AB  - This report documents the local economic impacts of private dock users at Lake Barkley, located on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of a sample of Lake Barkley private dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Lake Barkley are useful for accountability purposes, lake support, and explaining the role of the lake in the region's economy. This report demonstrates how the survey results can also be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.

AB  - A workshop sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was held at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Waterways Experiment Station, in Vicksburg, MS, in April of 2006. Fifty experts from government, the private sector, and academia participated in the workshop, which focused on four issues (the four Rs) relevant to environmental dredging: (1) sediment resuspension resulting from dredging operations, (2) release of contaminants from bedded and suspended sediments in connection with dredging, (3) residual contaminated sediment produced by and/or remaining after dredging, and (4) the environmental risks that are the target of and associated with dredging. Goals for the workshop were to: (1) promote consistency in the terms used to define the challenges represented by the four Rs, (2) develop consensus for a conceptual model that relates the relevant processes, (3) identify current resources and needs regarding data and methods/models to better describe and understand the processes, and (4) identify key uncertainties and make recommendations regarding future research to resolve those uncertainties. This technical report summarizes analysis and synthesis of the results of the workshop.

T1  - Long-term development of tidal mitigation wetlands in Florida
AN  - 21020491; 8149341
AB  - Monitoring periods for compensatory wetland mitigation projects are relatively short, typically 3 to 5 years. Although forested wetlands may require decades to develop structural characteristics similar to those of natural systems, studies that describe long-term trends in site development are rare. Eighteen mitigation sites in Florida that had originally been sampled in 1988 were re-visited in 2005. Changes in mangrove community composition and stand structure occurring over this timeframe at ten of these sites are described and compared with other mangrove wetlands in Florida. Factors limiting development of the remaining sites are discussed. The continued persistence and development of the majority of these mitigation sites indicates that the mitigation process can be successful, at least in terms of compliance with the typical permit requirements. Basal area and height had increased at most sites, and some were difficult to visually distinguish from adjacent natural stands of mangroves. However, even after 13-25 years, stand structure in mangrove mitigation wetlands in Florida still differed from that of natural sites. Although the number of mangrove species was similar, mitigation sites had lower basal area and height than natural sites, and were more dense and complex than natural sites.

T1  - Wave Reflection from Nearshore Depressions
AN  - 21020176; 8127896
AB  - This study employs an existing finite-difference model based on the hyperbolic form of the modified mild slope equation (MMSE) to investigate wave reflection near bathymetric depressions such as dredged borrow pits and nearshore canyons. First, the model is tested for numerical limitations on the higher order bottom slope and curvature terms using idealized cases of a simple depth transition and a symmetric trapezoidal trench, with comparisons of the MMSE to both the traditional mild slope equation (MSE) solution and a shallow water analytic solution. It is demonstrated that the model gives accurate solutions on slopes as steep as 1:1, and that the solutions from all three models agree in the shallow water region. However, for waves in intermediate depths, predicted wave reflection from nearshore depressions is shown to differ significantly between the MMSE and MSE models. Next, geometrical data from a wide range of existing and proposed borrow pits and a submarine canyon are gathered and analyzed for whether wave reflection is an important process near realistic nearshore depressions. The geometric data show that realistic nearshore depressions lie within the tested range of the MMSE model and that borrow pits are generally not in shallow water, which means it is important to use a MMSE-type model to calculate reflection from these features. In addition, storm conditions on average lead to a 50% increase in reflection coefficient in comparison to the mean wave conditions, due to the increase in wave period. Finally, the results also indicate borrow pit design criteria that can be used to ensure minimal reflection.

T1  - Effects of lime-induced inorganic carbon reduction on the growth of three aquatic macrophyte species
AN  - 20912447; 8286380
AB  - Lime application to aquatic systems may be an effective means of stressing macrophyte growth and promoting changes in species assemblage by inducing temporary dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) limitation of productivity. Shoot and root growth response to lime (as Ca(OH) sub(2)) application was investigated for three macrophyte species (Elodea canadensis, Stuckenia pectinata, and Vallisneria americana) grown in experimental outdoor mesocosms. Lime was applied to mesocosms at three treatment levels to maintain pH for 1 week at 9.8-10.0 (1.64mM), 10.3-10.5 (at the bicarbonate-carbonate equivalence point; 3.00mM), and 10.8-11.0 (4.34mM). pH recovered to control levels in all treated mesocosms 20 days after lime application. After treatment, HCO sub(3) super(-) and DIC declined by 66, 93, and 93% and 60, 89, and 87%, respectively, versus increasing lime application. Concentrations remained lower in treated mesocosms versus the control throughout post-treatment. Differential growth response was observed in the 1.64 and 3.00mM treatments, suggesting species-specific tolerances to both DIC concentration and form. V. americana was most sensitive to lime as the 1.64mM treatment resulted in 54% shoot growth suppression versus the control and shoot plus root biomass loss in the 3.00 and 4.34mM treatments. S. pectinata and E. canadensis exhibited net shoot and root growth (although significantly lower than controls) in both the 1.64 and 3.00mM treatments and complete growth suppression in the 4.34mM treatment. Selective control and shifts in species assemblage may be possible by adjusting lime concentration in relation to compensation point and needs to be investigated under field conditions.

T1  - Removal of arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) from aqueous medium using chitosan-coated biosorbent
AN  - 20766817; 8183886
AB  - A biosorbent was prepared by coating ceramic alumina with the natural biopolymer, chitosan, using a dip-coating process. Removal of arsenic (III) (As(III)) and arsenic (V) (As(V)) was studied through adsorption on the biosorbent at pH 4.0 under equilibrium and dynamic conditions. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson adsorption models, and the model parameters were evaluated. All three models represented the experimental data well. The monolayer adsorption capacity of the sorbent, as obtained from the Langmuir isotherm, is 56.50 and 96.46mg/g of chitosan for As(III) and As(V), respectively. The difference in adsorption capacity for As(III) and As(V) was explained on the basis of speciation of arsenic at pH 4.0. Column adsorption results indicated that no arsenic was found in the effluent solution up to about 40 and 120 bed volumes of As(III) and As(V), respectively. Sodium hydroxide solution (0.1M) was found to be capable of regenerating the column bed.

T1  - Optimum fish passage and guidance designs are based in the hydrogeomorphology of natural rivers
AN  - 19646513; 8235860
AB  - Understanding hydrodynamic cues used by outmigrating juvenile salmon (emigrants) to guide fine-scale swim path selection is critical to successful fish guidance and passage at man-made structures. We show how these cues can be inferred from channel features and complex flow fields of natural rivers through which emigrants pass. We then describe a new cue, total hydraulic strain, integrating properties of flow acceleration and turbulence through the spatial gradients in velocity to create a single flow field distortion metric amenable to the analysis of fish movement at the scale of large man-made structures. We explain how total hydraulic strain, together with the magnitude of velocity, provide sufficient information for any fish to distinguish between the two categories of channel features with their mechanosensory system. We demonstrate that total hydraulic strain, velocity magnitude and hydrostatic pressure can be integrated into rule-sets (the Strain-Velocity-Pressure (SVP) Hypothesis) to explain emigrant swim path selection near dams. To confirm the reasonableness of the SVP Hypothesis, we describe how its separate elements can be detected by different components of the fish mechanosensory system. We evaluate the SVP Hypothesis by (1) using it to explain the traces made by acoustically tagged emigrants overlaid on coincident total hydraulic strain and velocity magnitude fields, (2) using it to explain different passage efficiencies of competing bypass designs and (3) testing it via stepwise discriminant analysis to infer the relationship between hydrodynamic pattern and emigrant orientation. We conclude the SVP Hypothesis is a reasonable and useful approximation of the strategy used by emigrants to select their swim path through complex flow fields sufficient to serve as the basis of guidance and bypass system design.

T1  - Contribution of sediment fluxes and transformations to the summer nitrogen budget of an Upper Mississippi River backwater system
AN  - 1124738035; 2012-093299
AB  - Routing nitrate through backwaters of regulated floodplain rivers to increase retention could decrease loading to nitrogen (N)-sensitive coastal regions. Sediment core determinations of N flux were combined with inflow-outflow fluxes to develop mass balance approximations of N uptake and transformations in a flow-controlled backwater of the Upper Mississippi River (USA). Inflow was the dominant nitrate source (>95%) versus nitrification and varied as a function of source water concentration since flow was constant. Nitrate uptake length increased linearly, while uptake velocity decreased linearly, with increasing inflow concentration to 2 mg l (super -1) , indicating limitation of N uptake by loading. N saturation at higher inflow concentration coincided with maximum uptake capacity, 40% uptake efficiency, and an uptake length 2 times greater than the length of the backwater. Nitrate diffusion and denitrification in sediment accounted for 27% of the backwater nitrate retention, indicating that assimilation by other biota or denitrification on other substrates were the dominant uptake mechanisms. Ammonium export from the backwater was driven by diffusive efflux from the sediment. Ammonium increased from near zero at the inflow to a maximum mid-lake, then declined slightly toward the outflow due to uptake during transport. Ammonium export was small compared to nitrate retention.

T1  - YAKIMA RIVER BASIN WATER STORAGE FEASIBILITY STUDY, BENTON, YAKIMA, AND KITTIAS COUNTIES, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36408624; 13143
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of impoundment storage options to benefit fish and provide for irrigation and future municipal water supply in the Yakima River basin of Benton, Yakima, and Kittitas counties, Washington is proposed. The finite water supply and limited storage capacity within the basin does not meet water supply demands in all years and results in significant adverse impacts to the basin's agriculture-based economy as well as to the basin's aquatic resources, particularly those resources supporting anadromous fish. Through a collaborative process with the Storage Study technical Work Group, nonbinding flow objectives were developed to assist in monitoring goal achievement. Water supply for prorateable (junior) irrigation entities would be improved by providing not less than 70 percent of the maximum water supply for irrigation districts during dry years, relying on diversions subject to proration; this 70 percent goal equates to 896,000 acre-feet of prorateable entitlements annually. Future municipal water supply needs would be met by maintaining a full municipal water supply for existing users and providing additional surface water supply of 82,000 acre-feet per year to accommodate population growth to the year 2050. Monthly flow objectives for an average water year for the Easton, Cle Elum, Ellensburg, and lower Naches River reaches have been established. This draft EIS considers three alternatives proposed jointly by the Bureau of Reclamation and the Washington Department of Ecology, three state of Washington alternatives, and a No Action Alternative. The joint alternatives consider water storage options as directed under feasibility authority, while the state alternatives consider both storage and nonstorage options. A preferred alternative has not been identified. The alternatives would deal with water supply by variously manipulating impoundments, tapping groundwater, water conservation measures, market-based reallocation of water resources, and/or diverting water from other basins, particularly the Columbia River basin. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would improve anadromous fish habitat by restoring the flow regimes of the Yakima and Naches rivers to more closely resemble the natural (unregulated) hydrograph. An ample supply of irrigation and municipal water would be available to all users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Manipulation of impoundments would result in surface elevation fluctuations, creating shoreline mudflats during drawdowns and damaging shoreline vegetation at high pool elevations. Downstream fluctuations would damage stream bank vegetation and exacerbate bank erosion. Diversion of water from the Columbia River would place additional stress on that already heavily used water resource. LEGAL MANDATES: Public Law 108-7 and Reclamation Reform Act of 1986.

T1  - A reproducible method for determination of nitrocellulose in soil.
AN  - 70446327; 18371744
AB  - A reproducible analytical method for determination of nitrocellulose in soil is described. The new method provides the precision and accuracy needed for quantitation of nitrocellulose in soils to enable worker safety on contaminated sites. The method utilizes water and ethanol washes to remove co-contaminants, acetone extraction of nitrocellulose, and base hydrolysis of the extract to reduce nitrate groups. The hydrolysate is then neutralized and analyzed by ion chromatography for determination of free nitrate and nitrite. A variety of bases for hydrolysis and acids for neutralization were evaluated, with 5N sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide giving the most complete hydrolysis and interference-free neutralization, respectively. The concentration of nitrocellulose in the soil is calculated from the concentrations of nitrate and nitrite and the weight percentage of nitrogen content in nitrocellulose. The laboratory detection limit for the analysis is 10mg/kg. The method acceptance range for recovery of nitrocellulose from control samples is 78-105%.

T1  - BROADWATER LNG PROJECT, LONG ISLAND SOUND, NEW YORK.
AN  - 36415084; 13122
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and pipeline, to be known as the Broadwater LNG Project, in New York state waters of Long Island Sound are proposed. The terminal would lie nine miles from the nearest shoreline of Long Island 11 miles from the nearest shoreline of Connecticut. The facility would consist of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) attached to a yoke mooring system (YMS) with a mooring tower embedded in the seafloor. The FSRU would resemble a marine vessel and would remain moored in place for the 30-year life of the terminal. The YMS would allow the FSRU to pivot or "weathervane" around the YMS, enabling the FSRU to orient in response to the prevailing wind, tide, and current conditions. LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by LNG carriers, temporarily stored, vaporized (regasified), and then transported via a new subsea natural gas pipeline extending from the seafloor beneath the FSRU 21.7 miles to an offshore connection with the existing Iroquois Gas Transmission System (IGTS) pipeline in Long Island Sound. Natural gas would be routed from the FSRU to the subsea pipeline and into the IGTS for delivery at an average flow rate of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day> LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by two to three LNG carriers per week to the meet the project's planned send-out volumes of natural gas. LNG carriers would transit from the Atlantic Ocean to either Point Judith Pilot Station, northeast of Block Island, or the Montauk Point Station, southwest of Block Island. The terminal and ancillary facilities would include a double-hulled FSRU approximately 1,215 feet long and 200 feet wide with a storage capacity of 8.0 billion cubic feet; a berthing facility at the FSRU for receiving LNG ships with capacities of up to 250,000 cubic meters; the YMS; 21.7 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline, with a pig launcher and receiver facility and a meter station at the interconnect with the IGTS pipeline; and onshore facilities at either Greenport or Port Jefferson. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, postponing the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, LNG design and location alternatives, pipeline route and construction alternatives, alternative vaporization methods, and alternative onshore facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing a new source of natural gas, the terminal facility would help ensure the integrity and reliability of the Northeast's home heating and energy distribution networks, while stabilizing regional energy prices. The future need for new and/or expanded interstate natural gas pipeline construction would be lessened significantly, obviating the associated environmental impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would result in the disturbance of the seafloor and the associated benthic habitat and the release of sediment into the water column along the pipeline route. Construction activities would disturb 2,236.2 acres. Approximately 7.5 acres of seafloor would be permanently transformed from soft bottom to hard bottom. The terminal would take 5.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Long Island Sound. Water returned to the Sound would degrade water quality and increase ambient water temperature somewhat. The terminal would receive calls from 118 LNG carriers per year, resulting in a significant increase in vessel traffic and the removal 22.7 mgd from the ambient water column. Project operations could affect four sea turtle and three whale species under special federal protection due to potential vessel collisions and noise emitted by vessels and the terminal, particularly during construction. Increased vessel traffic would cause safety concerns with respect to other commercial and recreational vessels in the Sound. Accidental spills of cryogenic liquid from the terminal or vessels delivering LNG to the terminal would constitute a significant threat to marine species.

T2  - BROADWATER LNG PROJECT, LONG ISLAND SOUND, NEW YORK.
AN  - 36390348; 13122-080020_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and pipeline, to be known as the Broadwater LNG Project, in New York state waters of Long Island Sound are proposed. The terminal would lie nine miles from the nearest shoreline of Long Island 11 miles from the nearest shoreline of Connecticut. The facility would consist of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) attached to a yoke mooring system (YMS) with a mooring tower embedded in the seafloor. The FSRU would resemble a marine vessel and would remain moored in place for the 30-year life of the terminal. The YMS would allow the FSRU to pivot or "weathervane" around the YMS, enabling the FSRU to orient in response to the prevailing wind, tide, and current conditions. LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by LNG carriers, temporarily stored, vaporized (regasified), and then transported via a new subsea natural gas pipeline extending from the seafloor beneath the FSRU 21.7 miles to an offshore connection with the existing Iroquois Gas Transmission System (IGTS) pipeline in Long Island Sound. Natural gas would be routed from the FSRU to the subsea pipeline and into the IGTS for delivery at an average flow rate of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day> LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by two to three LNG carriers per week to the meet the project's planned send-out volumes of natural gas. LNG carriers would transit from the Atlantic Ocean to either Point Judith Pilot Station, northeast of Block Island, or the Montauk Point Station, southwest of Block Island. The terminal and ancillary facilities would include a double-hulled FSRU approximately 1,215 feet long and 200 feet wide with a storage capacity of 8.0 billion cubic feet; a berthing facility at the FSRU for receiving LNG ships with capacities of up to 250,000 cubic meters; the YMS; 21.7 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline, with a pig launcher and receiver facility and a meter station at the interconnect with the IGTS pipeline; and onshore facilities at either Greenport or Port Jefferson. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, postponing the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, LNG design and location alternatives, pipeline route and construction alternatives, alternative vaporization methods, and alternative onshore facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing a new source of natural gas, the terminal facility would help ensure the integrity and reliability of the Northeast's home heating and energy distribution networks, while stabilizing regional energy prices. The future need for new and/or expanded interstate natural gas pipeline construction would be lessened significantly, obviating the associated environmental impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would result in the disturbance of the seafloor and the associated benthic habitat and the release of sediment into the water column along the pipeline route.

T1  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36406426; 13119
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to improve safety at the San Clemente Dam in Monterey County, California is proposed. The dam is located in the upper reaches of the Carmel River at the confluence of the river and San Clemente Creek, approximately 15 miles southeast of the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and 3.7 miles southeast of Carmel Valley Village. Under current conditions, dam integrity could be breached by either seismic activity or extreme flood flow. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. The proposal forwarded by the proponent of the project, California American Water Company (CAWC), would strengthen the existing dam to comply with state dam safety requirements. The proposed project would eliminate safety risks by thickening the downstream face of the dam with concrete, strengthening the right abutment near the dam crest, modifying the spillway and dam crest to increase effective spillway width, and armoring the abutments with gunite to prevent erosion. A concrete batch plant would be installed onsite to manufacture the required concrete. The electrical system at the dam would be improved. Sediment sluicing would be required to maintain the existing surface water supply intake and to ensure fish passage through the accumulated sediment. During construction, the Carmel River and San Clemente Creek would be diverted around the construction area, the plunge pool at the base of the dam would be dewatered, and a trap and truck facility would be operated for one construction year. The existing fish ladder allows steelhead trout, a federally protected species, to ascend 68 feet to the reservoir and watershed above the dam. The proposed project would include provision of a new fish ladder. Two high-level outlets equipped with sluice gates would control and limit sediment releases, maintain upstream passage to the fish ladder exit, and maintain water flow into the water supply diversion pipeline. A new access from Carmel Valley Road would be provided to bypass the Sleepy Hollow community, and the Old Carmel River Dam Bridge and access road from the Carmel Valley Filter Plant to the dam would be improved. The existing access road along the east side of the Carmel River would be rebuilt. Alternative 1 would provide for dam notching and partial removal of sediment from the storage reservoir. Alternative 2 would involve removal of the dam and all trapped sediments. Alternative 3 would reroute the Carmel River, remove the dam, and stabilize stored sediments in-place. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would be implemented over three to five years following approval. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing dam safety with respect to high flows and seismic activity, the project would provide fish passage at the structure, maintain a point of diversion to support existing CAWC water supply facilities and water rights services, and minimize financial impacts to CAWC ratepayers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term changes in river hydrology, particularly with respect to sediments, and a short-term loss of fish rearing habitat. Incidental take of federally protected species could occur. Operation of sluice gates, which would occur, on average, once per year, would release 4.5 acre-feet of sediment downstream over a three- to eight-hour period. Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures.

T1  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36406248; 13118
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a crossing of the Boise River along the river stretch between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road to connect the cities of Boise, Garden City, and Eagle in Ada County, Idaho is proposed. The 1995 Bench/Valley Transportation Study was undertaken to identify the best means of creating a crossing of the Boise River and the associated bench, these being the two natural barriers to north-south transportation in the Boise area. The study recommended river crossings at two-mile intervals within the study area. The study also identified a lack of a north-south transportation link over the Boise River on a four-mile span between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road. The out-of-direction travel required to cross the river in this general area causes delays and congestion on the existing river crossing as well as inefficiencies in the use of alternative north-south travel routes between Chinden Boulevard (State Highway (SH) 50/56) and State Street (SH 44). The Three Cities River Crossing Project (3CRX) proposed in this draft EIS would provide a north-south crossing of the Boise River connecting Chinden Boulevard and State Street at the intersection of SH 55. The study corridor includes open space along the Boise River, pastureland, residential properties, businesses, a wastewater treatment plant, and sand and gravel mining operations; the eastern third of the study corridor is largely residential. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would begin at SH 55 and, depending on the alternative chosen, the terminus would be Cloverdale Road; a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; Five Mile Road; Five Mile road, with an extension from Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; and a point near Mountain View Drive and Five Mile Road. Each build alternative has an east and west river crossing options. Each crossing alternative would provide a four-lane arterial, with bicycle lanes on the roadway shoulder, a shared-use path (bicyclists and pedestrians) along one side of the roadway, and a pedestrian path along the opposite side of the roadway. Access to the arterial would be from State Street, Chinden Boulevard, and two signalized intersections within the project area, one north and one south of the river. Each alternative would provide for two bridges, one spanning the North Channel and one spanning the South Channel of the Boise River. Three of the build alternatives would provide for a minor arterial road south of the river that would provide for a second connection to Chinden Boulevard. The preferred action is the alternative with termini at SH 55 and a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; this alternative would also include the minor arterial road south of the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 3CRX project would resolve the problems of congestion and inefficiency caused by the lack of appropriately spaced crossings of the Boise River and bench in Ada County. The crossing would provide new access to the regional greenbelt system and new bicycle lanes and shared use paths within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, new rights-of-way development would affect 17 to 29 private property parcels and result in one to three residential displacements. Noise levels along the corridor would increase somewhat. The increase in impervious surface in the corridor would result in increased runoff to the Boise River, escalating the discharge of pollutants to the river and associated wetlands. The crossing and associated features would lie within the 100-year floodplain of the Boise River, and up to 1.4 acres of wetlands within the floodplain would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 6 of 8]
T2  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36391282; 13119-080017_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to improve safety at the San Clemente Dam in Monterey County, California is proposed. The dam is located in the upper reaches of the Carmel River at the confluence of the river and San Clemente Creek, approximately 15 miles southeast of the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and 3.7 miles southeast of Carmel Valley Village. Under current conditions, dam integrity could be breached by either seismic activity or extreme flood flow. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. The proposal forwarded by the proponent of the project, California American Water Company (CAWC), would strengthen the existing dam to comply with state dam safety requirements. The proposed project would eliminate safety risks by thickening the downstream face of the dam with concrete, strengthening the right abutment near the dam crest, modifying the spillway and dam crest to increase effective spillway width, and armoring the abutments with gunite to prevent erosion. A concrete batch plant would be installed onsite to manufacture the required concrete. The electrical system at the dam would be improved. Sediment sluicing would be required to maintain the existing surface water supply intake and to ensure fish passage through the accumulated sediment. During construction, the Carmel River and San Clemente Creek would be diverted around the construction area, the plunge pool at the base of the dam would be dewatered, and a trap and truck facility would be operated for one construction year. The existing fish ladder allows steelhead trout, a federally protected species, to ascend 68 feet to the reservoir and watershed above the dam. The proposed project would include provision of a new fish ladder. Two high-level outlets equipped with sluice gates would control and limit sediment releases, maintain upstream passage to the fish ladder exit, and maintain water flow into the water supply diversion pipeline. A new access from Carmel Valley Road would be provided to bypass the Sleepy Hollow community, and the Old Carmel River Dam Bridge and access road from the Carmel Valley Filter Plant to the dam would be improved. The existing access road along the east side of the Carmel River would be rebuilt. Alternative 1 would provide for dam notching and partial removal of sediment from the storage reservoir. Alternative 2 would involve removal of the dam and all trapped sediments. Alternative 3 would reroute the Carmel River, remove the dam, and stabilize stored sediments in-place. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would be implemented over three to five years following approval. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing dam safety with respect to high flows and seismic activity, the project would provide fish passage at the structure, maintain a point of diversion to support existing CAWC water supply facilities and water rights services, and minimize financial impacts to CAWC ratepayers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term changes in river hydrology, particularly with respect to sediments, and a short-term loss of fish rearing habitat. Incidental take of federally protected species could occur. Operation of sluice gates, which would occur, on average, once per year, would release 4.5 acre-feet of sediment downstream over a three- to eight-hour period. Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36390060; 13118-080016_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a crossing of the Boise River along the river stretch between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road to connect the cities of Boise, Garden City, and Eagle in Ada County, Idaho is proposed. The 1995 Bench/Valley Transportation Study was undertaken to identify the best means of creating a crossing of the Boise River and the associated bench, these being the two natural barriers to north-south transportation in the Boise area. The study recommended river crossings at two-mile intervals within the study area. The study also identified a lack of a north-south transportation link over the Boise River on a four-mile span between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road. The out-of-direction travel required to cross the river in this general area causes delays and congestion on the existing river crossing as well as inefficiencies in the use of alternative north-south travel routes between Chinden Boulevard (State Highway (SH) 50/56) and State Street (SH 44). The Three Cities River Crossing Project (3CRX) proposed in this draft EIS would provide a north-south crossing of the Boise River connecting Chinden Boulevard and State Street at the intersection of SH 55. The study corridor includes open space along the Boise River, pastureland, residential properties, businesses, a wastewater treatment plant, and sand and gravel mining operations; the eastern third of the study corridor is largely residential. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would begin at SH 55 and, depending on the alternative chosen, the terminus would be Cloverdale Road; a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; Five Mile Road; Five Mile road, with an extension from Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; and a point near Mountain View Drive and Five Mile Road. Each build alternative has an east and west river crossing options. Each crossing alternative would provide a four-lane arterial, with bicycle lanes on the roadway shoulder, a shared-use path (bicyclists and pedestrians) along one side of the roadway, and a pedestrian path along the opposite side of the roadway. Access to the arterial would be from State Street, Chinden Boulevard, and two signalized intersections within the project area, one north and one south of the river. Each alternative would provide for two bridges, one spanning the North Channel and one spanning the South Channel of the Boise River. Three of the build alternatives would provide for a minor arterial road south of the river that would provide for a second connection to Chinden Boulevard. The preferred action is the alternative with termini at SH 55 and a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; this alternative would also include the minor arterial road south of the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 3CRX project would resolve the problems of congestion and inefficiency caused by the lack of appropriately spaced crossings of the Boise River and bench in Ada County. The crossing would provide new access to the regional greenbelt system and new bicycle lanes and shared use paths within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, new rights-of-way development would affect 17 to 29 private property parcels and result in one to three residential displacements. Noise levels along the corridor would increase somewhat. The increase in impervious surface in the corridor would result in increased runoff to the Boise River, escalating the discharge of pollutants to the river and associated wetlands. The crossing and associated features would lie within the 100-year floodplain of the Boise River, and up to 1.4 acres of wetlands within the floodplain would be displaced.

T1  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO. [Part 3 of 4]
T2  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36389990; 13118-080016_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a crossing of the Boise River along the river stretch between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road to connect the cities of Boise, Garden City, and Eagle in Ada County, Idaho is proposed. The 1995 Bench/Valley Transportation Study was undertaken to identify the best means of creating a crossing of the Boise River and the associated bench, these being the two natural barriers to north-south transportation in the Boise area. The study recommended river crossings at two-mile intervals within the study area. The study also identified a lack of a north-south transportation link over the Boise River on a four-mile span between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road. The out-of-direction travel required to cross the river in this general area causes delays and congestion on the existing river crossing as well as inefficiencies in the use of alternative north-south travel routes between Chinden Boulevard (State Highway (SH) 50/56) and State Street (SH 44). The Three Cities River Crossing Project (3CRX) proposed in this draft EIS would provide a north-south crossing of the Boise River connecting Chinden Boulevard and State Street at the intersection of SH 55. The study corridor includes open space along the Boise River, pastureland, residential properties, businesses, a wastewater treatment plant, and sand and gravel mining operations; the eastern third of the study corridor is largely residential. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would begin at SH 55 and, depending on the alternative chosen, the terminus would be Cloverdale Road; a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; Five Mile Road; Five Mile road, with an extension from Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; and a point near Mountain View Drive and Five Mile Road. Each build alternative has an east and west river crossing options. Each crossing alternative would provide a four-lane arterial, with bicycle lanes on the roadway shoulder, a shared-use path (bicyclists and pedestrians) along one side of the roadway, and a pedestrian path along the opposite side of the roadway. Access to the arterial would be from State Street, Chinden Boulevard, and two signalized intersections within the project area, one north and one south of the river. Each alternative would provide for two bridges, one spanning the North Channel and one spanning the South Channel of the Boise River. Three of the build alternatives would provide for a minor arterial road south of the river that would provide for a second connection to Chinden Boulevard. The preferred action is the alternative with termini at SH 55 and a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; this alternative would also include the minor arterial road south of the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 3CRX project would resolve the problems of congestion and inefficiency caused by the lack of appropriately spaced crossings of the Boise River and bench in Ada County. The crossing would provide new access to the regional greenbelt system and new bicycle lanes and shared use paths within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, new rights-of-way development would affect 17 to 29 private property parcels and result in one to three residential displacements. Noise levels along the corridor would increase somewhat. The increase in impervious surface in the corridor would result in increased runoff to the Boise River, escalating the discharge of pollutants to the river and associated wetlands. The crossing and associated features would lie within the 100-year floodplain of the Boise River, and up to 1.4 acres of wetlands within the floodplain would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 7 of 8]
T2  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36380707; 13119-080017_0007
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to improve safety at the San Clemente Dam in Monterey County, California is proposed. The dam is located in the upper reaches of the Carmel River at the confluence of the river and San Clemente Creek, approximately 15 miles southeast of the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and 3.7 miles southeast of Carmel Valley Village. Under current conditions, dam integrity could be breached by either seismic activity or extreme flood flow. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. The proposal forwarded by the proponent of the project, California American Water Company (CAWC), would strengthen the existing dam to comply with state dam safety requirements. The proposed project would eliminate safety risks by thickening the downstream face of the dam with concrete, strengthening the right abutment near the dam crest, modifying the spillway and dam crest to increase effective spillway width, and armoring the abutments with gunite to prevent erosion. A concrete batch plant would be installed onsite to manufacture the required concrete. The electrical system at the dam would be improved. Sediment sluicing would be required to maintain the existing surface water supply intake and to ensure fish passage through the accumulated sediment. During construction, the Carmel River and San Clemente Creek would be diverted around the construction area, the plunge pool at the base of the dam would be dewatered, and a trap and truck facility would be operated for one construction year. The existing fish ladder allows steelhead trout, a federally protected species, to ascend 68 feet to the reservoir and watershed above the dam. The proposed project would include provision of a new fish ladder. Two high-level outlets equipped with sluice gates would control and limit sediment releases, maintain upstream passage to the fish ladder exit, and maintain water flow into the water supply diversion pipeline. A new access from Carmel Valley Road would be provided to bypass the Sleepy Hollow community, and the Old Carmel River Dam Bridge and access road from the Carmel Valley Filter Plant to the dam would be improved. The existing access road along the east side of the Carmel River would be rebuilt. Alternative 1 would provide for dam notching and partial removal of sediment from the storage reservoir. Alternative 2 would involve removal of the dam and all trapped sediments. Alternative 3 would reroute the Carmel River, remove the dam, and stabilize stored sediments in-place. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would be implemented over three to five years following approval. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing dam safety with respect to high flows and seismic activity, the project would provide fish passage at the structure, maintain a point of diversion to support existing CAWC water supply facilities and water rights services, and minimize financial impacts to CAWC ratepayers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term changes in river hydrology, particularly with respect to sediments, and a short-term loss of fish rearing habitat. Incidental take of federally protected species could occur. Operation of sluice gates, which would occur, on average, once per year, would release 4.5 acre-feet of sediment downstream over a three- to eight-hour period. Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures.

Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures.

T2  - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36380130; 13119-080017_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to improve safety at the San Clemente Dam in Monterey County, California is proposed. The dam is located in the upper reaches of the Carmel River at the confluence of the river and San Clemente Creek, approximately 15 miles southeast of the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and 3.7 miles southeast of Carmel Valley Village. Under current conditions, dam integrity could be breached by either seismic activity or extreme flood flow. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this final EIS. The proposal forwarded by the proponent of the project, California American Water Company (CAWC), would strengthen the existing dam to comply with state dam safety requirements. The proposed project would eliminate safety risks by thickening the downstream face of the dam with concrete, strengthening the right abutment near the dam crest, modifying the spillway and dam crest to increase effective spillway width, and armoring the abutments with gunite to prevent erosion. A concrete batch plant would be installed onsite to manufacture the required concrete. The electrical system at the dam would be improved. Sediment sluicing would be required to maintain the existing surface water supply intake and to ensure fish passage through the accumulated sediment. During construction, the Carmel River and San Clemente Creek would be diverted around the construction area, the plunge pool at the base of the dam would be dewatered, and a trap and truck facility would be operated for one construction year. The existing fish ladder allows steelhead trout, a federally protected species, to ascend 68 feet to the reservoir and watershed above the dam. The proposed project would include provision of a new fish ladder. Two high-level outlets equipped with sluice gates would control and limit sediment releases, maintain upstream passage to the fish ladder exit, and maintain water flow into the water supply diversion pipeline. A new access from Carmel Valley Road would be provided to bypass the Sleepy Hollow community, and the Old Carmel River Dam Bridge and access road from the Carmel Valley Filter Plant to the dam would be improved. The existing access road along the east side of the Carmel River would be rebuilt. Alternative 1 would provide for dam notching and partial removal of sediment from the storage reservoir. Alternative 2 would involve removal of the dam and all trapped sediments. Alternative 3 would reroute the Carmel River, remove the dam, and stabilize stored sediments in-place. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would be implemented over three to five years following approval. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing dam safety with respect to high flows and seismic activity, the project would provide fish passage at the structure, maintain a point of diversion to support existing CAWC water supply facilities and water rights services, and minimize financial impacts to CAWC ratepayers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term changes in river hydrology, particularly with respect to sediments, and a short-term loss of fish rearing habitat. Incidental take of federally protected species could occur. Operation of sluice gates, which would occur, on average, once per year, would release 4.5 acre-feet of sediment downstream over a three- to eight-hour period. Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures.

T1  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO. [Part 2 of 4]
T2  - THREE CITIES RIVER CROSSING, ADA COUNTY, IDAHO.
AN  - 36374089; 13118-080016_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a crossing of the Boise River along the river stretch between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road to connect the cities of Boise, Garden City, and Eagle in Ada County, Idaho is proposed. The 1995 Bench/Valley Transportation Study was undertaken to identify the best means of creating a crossing of the Boise River and the associated bench, these being the two natural barriers to north-south transportation in the Boise area. The study recommended river crossings at two-mile intervals within the study area. The study also identified a lack of a north-south transportation link over the Boise River on a four-mile span between Glenwood Street and Eagle Road. The out-of-direction travel required to cross the river in this general area causes delays and congestion on the existing river crossing as well as inefficiencies in the use of alternative north-south travel routes between Chinden Boulevard (State Highway (SH) 50/56) and State Street (SH 44). The Three Cities River Crossing Project (3CRX) proposed in this draft EIS would provide a north-south crossing of the Boise River connecting Chinden Boulevard and State Street at the intersection of SH 55. The study corridor includes open space along the Boise River, pastureland, residential properties, businesses, a wastewater treatment plant, and sand and gravel mining operations; the eastern third of the study corridor is largely residential. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. All build alternatives would begin at SH 55 and, depending on the alternative chosen, the terminus would be Cloverdale Road; a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; Five Mile Road; Five Mile road, with an extension from Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; and a point near Mountain View Drive and Five Mile Road. Each build alternative has an east and west river crossing options. Each crossing alternative would provide a four-lane arterial, with bicycle lanes on the roadway shoulder, a shared-use path (bicyclists and pedestrians) along one side of the roadway, and a pedestrian path along the opposite side of the roadway. Access to the arterial would be from State Street, Chinden Boulevard, and two signalized intersections within the project area, one north and one south of the river. Each alternative would provide for two bridges, one spanning the North Channel and one spanning the South Channel of the Boise River. Three of the build alternatives would provide for a minor arterial road south of the river that would provide for a second connection to Chinden Boulevard. The preferred action is the alternative with termini at SH 55 and a point near Mountain View Drive, with an extension to Mulberry Avenue to Cloverdale Road; this alternative would also include the minor arterial road south of the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The 3CRX project would resolve the problems of congestion and inefficiency caused by the lack of appropriately spaced crossings of the Boise River and bench in Ada County. The crossing would provide new access to the regional greenbelt system and new bicycle lanes and shared use paths within the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative selected, new rights-of-way development would affect 17 to 29 private property parcels and result in one to three residential displacements. Noise levels along the corridor would increase somewhat. The increase in impervious surface in the corridor would result in increased runoff to the Boise River, escalating the discharge of pollutants to the river and associated wetlands. The crossing and associated features would lie within the 100-year floodplain of the Boise River, and up to 1.4 acres of wetlands within the floodplain would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - US 231/I-10 CONNECTOR, FROM US 231 NORTH OF DOTHAN TO THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA STATE LINE IN DALE, HOUSTON, AND GENEVA COUNTIES, ALABAMA.
AN  - 36406333; 13112
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 25-mile limited access highway from US 231 north of Dothan to the Alabama/Florida state line in Dale, Houston, and Geneva counties, Alabama is proposed. The primary transportation within the corridor is congestion on Ross Clarke Circle within the city of Dothan. The circle constitutes a link in US 231, US 431, and US 80 along with other state and local facilities. The project would allow through traffic to bypass Ross Clarke Circle. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would begin at US 231 approximately 1.7 miles north of the state line and extend northwestward, turn north, and then northwest again for approximately 3.3 miles to a proposed interchange with Country Road (CR) 203. From CR 203, the alternative would continue north to its proposed interchange with State Route (SR) 109, a distance of approximately 2.4 miles. From SR 109, the roadway would continue in a north/northwest direction to its proposed interchange with CR 93, a distance of 2.2 miles. At this point, the alignment would continue northward, then curve to the northwest, then turn back to the north to reach its proposed interchange with SR 52, a distance of 3.3 miles. Alternative 1 would then continue in a northward direction to an interchange with an unnamed county road near Joans Crossroads, a distance of 3.4 miles. From the unnamed country road , the road would curve slightly northeast for a distance of 1.9 miles to its proposed interchange with US 84. From U 84, the alignment would curve slightly to the northwest, then back to the north, where an interchange would be provided with CR 47; this segment would be 3.5 miles long. At this point, the alternative would travel northeastward for approximately 2.1 miles to its terminus at US 231, where another interchange would be provided. Estimated cost of the project is $183.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would reduce congestion within the corridor and on major arteries within Dothan and provide for safer travel and reasonable speed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 88 residences, 11 businesses, and 1,035 acres of farmland. The facility would traverse floodplain and displace 70 acres of wetlands and require relocation of 5,492 linear feet of channel. Traffic generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 23 sensitive receptor sites; two to 11 sites would experience increases of 15 decibels or more. Five cultural resource sites would be impacted; the eligibility for these sites to be included in the National Register of Historic Place has not yet been determined. Construction workers would encounter two sites containing hazardous wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (112 Stat. 107), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

At this point, the alignment would continue northward, then curve to the northwest, then turn back to the north to reach its proposed interchange with SR 52, a distance of 3.3 miles. Alternative 1 would then continue in a northward direction to an interchange with an unnamed county road near Joans Crossroads, a distance of 3.4 miles. From the unnamed country road , the road would curve slightly northeast for a distance of 1.9 miles to its proposed interchange with US 84. From U 84, the alignment would curve slightly to the northwest, then back to the north, where an interchange would be provided with CR 47; this segment would be 3.5 miles long. At this point, the alternative would travel northeastward for approximately 2.1 miles to its terminus at US 231, where another interchange would be provided. Estimated cost of the project is $183.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would reduce congestion within the corridor and on major arteries within Dothan and provide for safer travel and reasonable speed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 88 residences, 11 businesses, and 1,035 acres of farmland. The facility would traverse floodplain and displace 70 acres of wetlands and require relocation of 5,492 linear feet of channel. Traffic generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 23 sensitive receptor sites; two to 11 sites would experience increases of 15 decibels or more. Five cultural resource sites would be impacted; the eligibility for these sites to be included in the National Register of Historic Place has not yet been determined. Construction workers would encounter two sites containing hazardous wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (112 Stat. 107), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 25-mile limited access highway from US 231 north of Dothan to the Alabama/Florida state line in Dale, Houston, and Geneva counties, Alabama is proposed. The primary transportation within the corridor is congestion on Ross Clarke Circle within the city of Dothan. The circle constitutes a link in US 231, US 431, and US 80 along with other state and local facilities. The project would allow through traffic to bypass Ross Clarke Circle. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would begin at US 231 approximately 1.7 miles north of the state line and extend northwestward, turn north, and then northwest again for approximately 3.3 miles to a proposed interchange with Country Road (CR) 203. From CR 203, the alternative would continue north to its proposed interchange with State Route (SR) 109, a distance of approximately 2.4 miles. From SR 109, the roadway would continue in a north/northwest direction to its proposed interchange with CR 93, a distance of 2.2 miles.

AN  - 36380456; 13112-080010_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 25-mile limited access highway from US 231 north of Dothan to the Alabama/Florida state line in Dale, Houston, and Geneva counties, Alabama is proposed. The primary transportation within the corridor is congestion on Ross Clarke Circle within the city of Dothan. The circle constitutes a link in US 231, US 431, and US 80 along with other state and local facilities. The project would allow through traffic to bypass Ross Clarke Circle. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would begin at US 231 approximately 1.7 miles north of the state line and extend northwestward, turn north, and then northwest again for approximately 3.3 miles to a proposed interchange with Country Road (CR) 203. From CR 203, the alternative would continue north to its proposed interchange with State Route (SR) 109, a distance of approximately 2.4 miles. From SR 109, the roadway would continue in a north/northwest direction to its proposed interchange with CR 93, a distance of 2.2 miles. At this point, the alignment would continue northward, then curve to the northwest, then turn back to the north to reach its proposed interchange with SR 52, a distance of 3.3 miles. Alternative 1 would then continue in a northward direction to an interchange with an unnamed county road near Joans Crossroads, a distance of 3.4 miles. From the unnamed country road , the road would curve slightly northeast for a distance of 1.9 miles to its proposed interchange with US 84. From U 84, the alignment would curve slightly to the northwest, then back to the north, where an interchange would be provided with CR 47; this segment would be 3.5 miles long. At this point, the alternative would travel northeastward for approximately 2.1 miles to its terminus at US 231, where another interchange would be provided. Estimated cost of the project is $183.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would reduce congestion within the corridor and on major arteries within Dothan and provide for safer travel and reasonable speed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 88 residences, 11 businesses, and 1,035 acres of farmland. The facility would traverse floodplain and displace 70 acres of wetlands and require relocation of 5,492 linear feet of channel. Traffic generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 23 sensitive receptor sites; two to 11 sites would experience increases of 15 decibels or more. Five cultural resource sites would be impacted; the eligibility for these sites to be included in the National Register of Historic Place has not yet been determined. Construction workers would encounter two sites containing hazardous wastes. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (112 Stat. 107), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - NEBRASKA HIGHWAY 35 (N-35) CORRIDOR, NORFOLK, NEBRASKA TO SOUTH SIOUX CITY, NEBRASKA, MADISON, STANTON, WAYNE, DIXON, AND DAKOTA COUNTIES.
AN  - 36414787; 13108
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Nebraska Route 35 (N-35) to a four-lane highway from Norfolk to South Sioux City, Madison, Stanton, Wayne, Dixon, and Dakota counties, Nebraska is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeastern Norfolk and proceeds to the northeast for approximately 66 miles, ending at a point where it joins US 20 or Interstate 129 (I-129) in South Sioux City. The existing alignment of N-35 includes seven miles of N-9 northeast of Wakefield and four miles of N-16 north and south of Wakefield. Communities along the study corridor include Norfolk, Hoskins, Winside, Wayne, Wakefield, Hubbard, Dakota City, and South Sioux City. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide for a four-lane facility, with 12-foot-wide travel lanes flanked by five-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders, and a median with a minimum width of 40 feet. The alignment would begin at US 275 southeast of Norfolk and follow the existing alignment of N-35 to a point west of Winside. At that location, the alignment would leave the present alignment, proceeding north and then east on new alignment and crossing N-15 south of Wayne. The alternative would then proceed northeast and rejoin existing N-35 northeast of Wakefield. The alignment would continue on existing N-35 to a point south of Hubbard, where it would leave the current alignment to bypass Hubbard on the east and then briefly rejoin N-35. West of N-110, the alignment would leave the current alignment again and curve north to parallel the alignment of N-111, terminating at US 20. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve mobility, accessibility, and connectivity within and throughout the region, improve safety, and provide a cost-effective transportation system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition for the preferred alternative would displace 1,538 acres of farmland and result in the segmentation of 67 fields and pastures. The project would take 53 acres of wetlands in 81 parcels, traverse 3,000 linear feet of forested land and six streams and the associated floodplains. The project would require the displacement of 15 houses, 28 outbuildings associated with active farmsteads, and two businesses. Traffic generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 31 sensitive receptor sites. Businesses in bypassed towns would lose substantial trade. The facility would run close to three historic sites and would affect the interpretation of at least one of those sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Nebraska Route 35 (N-35) to a four-lane highway from Norfolk to South Sioux City, Madison, Stanton, Wayne, Dixon, and Dakota counties, Nebraska is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeastern Norfolk and proceeds to the northeast for approximately 66 miles, ending at a point where it joins US 20 or Interstate 129 (I-129) in South Sioux City. The existing alignment of N-35 includes seven miles of N-9 northeast of Wakefield and four miles of N-16 north and south of Wakefield. Communities along the study corridor include Norfolk, Hoskins, Winside, Wayne, Wakefield, Hubbard, Dakota City, and South Sioux City. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide for a four-lane facility, with 12-foot-wide travel lanes flanked by five-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders, and a median with a minimum width of 40 feet. The alignment would begin at US 275 southeast of Norfolk and follow the existing alignment of N-35 to a point west of Winside. At that location, the alignment would leave the present alignment, proceeding north and then east on new alignment and crossing N-15 south of Wayne. The alternative would then proceed northeast and rejoin existing N-35 northeast of Wakefield. The alignment would continue on existing N-35 to a point south of Hubbard, where it would leave the current alignment to bypass Hubbard on the east and then briefly rejoin N-35. West of N-110, the alignment would leave the current alignment again and curve north to parallel the alignment of N-111, terminating at US 20. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve mobility, accessibility, and connectivity within and throughout the region, improve safety, and provide a cost-effective transportation system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition for the preferred alternative would displace 1,538 acres of farmland and result in the segmentation of 67 fields and pastures. The project would take 53 acres of wetlands in 81 parcels, traverse 3,000 linear feet of forested land and six streams and the associated floodplains. The project would require the displacement of 15 houses, 28 outbuildings associated with active farmsteads, and two businesses. Traffic generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 31 sensitive receptor sites. Businesses in bypassed towns would lose substantial trade. The facility would run close to three historic sites and would affect the interpretation of at least one of those sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN  - 36389729; 13108-080006_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Nebraska Route 35 (N-35) to a four-lane highway from Norfolk to South Sioux City, Madison, Stanton, Wayne, Dixon, and Dakota counties, Nebraska is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeastern Norfolk and proceeds to the northeast for approximately 66 miles, ending at a point where it joins US 20 or Interstate 129 (I-129) in South Sioux City. The existing alignment of N-35 includes seven miles of N-9 northeast of Wakefield and four miles of N-16 north and south of Wakefield. Communities along the study corridor include Norfolk, Hoskins, Winside, Wayne, Wakefield, Hubbard, Dakota City, and South Sioux City. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide for a four-lane facility, with 12-foot-wide travel lanes flanked by five-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders, and a median with a minimum width of 40 feet. The alignment would begin at US 275 southeast of Norfolk and follow the existing alignment of N-35 to a point west of Winside. At that location, the alignment would leave the present alignment, proceeding north and then east on new alignment and crossing N-15 south of Wayne. The alternative would then proceed northeast and rejoin existing N-35 northeast of Wakefield. The alignment would continue on existing N-35 to a point south of Hubbard, where it would leave the current alignment to bypass Hubbard on the east and then briefly rejoin N-35. West of N-110, the alignment would leave the current alignment again and curve north to parallel the alignment of N-111, terminating at US 20. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve mobility, accessibility, and connectivity within and throughout the region, improve safety, and provide a cost-effective transportation system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition for the preferred alternative would displace 1,538 acres of farmland and result in the segmentation of 67 fields and pastures. The project would take 53 acres of wetlands in 81 parcels, traverse 3,000 linear feet of forested land and six streams and the associated floodplains. The project would require the displacement of 15 houses, 28 outbuildings associated with active farmsteads, and two businesses. Traffic generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 31 sensitive receptor sites. Businesses in bypassed towns would lose substantial trade. The facility would run close to three historic sites and would affect the interpretation of at least one of those sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T2  - NEBRASKA HIGHWAY 35 (N-35) CORRIDOR, NORFOLK, NEBRASKA TO SOUTH SIOUX CITY, NEBRASKA, MADISON, STANTON, WAYNE, DIXON, AND DAKOTA COUNTIES.
AN  - 36379909; 13108-080006_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of Nebraska Route 35 (N-35) to a four-lane highway from Norfolk to South Sioux City, Madison, Stanton, Wayne, Dixon, and Dakota counties, Nebraska is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeastern Norfolk and proceeds to the northeast for approximately 66 miles, ending at a point where it joins US 20 or Interstate 129 (I-129) in South Sioux City. The existing alignment of N-35 includes seven miles of N-9 northeast of Wakefield and four miles of N-16 north and south of Wakefield. Communities along the study corridor include Norfolk, Hoskins, Winside, Wayne, Wakefield, Hubbard, Dakota City, and South Sioux City. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide for a four-lane facility, with 12-foot-wide travel lanes flanked by five-foot inside and 10-foot outside shoulders, and a median with a minimum width of 40 feet. The alignment would begin at US 275 southeast of Norfolk and follow the existing alignment of N-35 to a point west of Winside. At that location, the alignment would leave the present alignment, proceeding north and then east on new alignment and crossing N-15 south of Wayne. The alternative would then proceed northeast and rejoin existing N-35 northeast of Wakefield. The alignment would continue on existing N-35 to a point south of Hubbard, where it would leave the current alignment to bypass Hubbard on the east and then briefly rejoin N-35. West of N-110, the alignment would leave the current alignment again and curve north to parallel the alignment of N-111, terminating at US 20. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve mobility, accessibility, and connectivity within and throughout the region, improve safety, and provide a cost-effective transportation system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition for the preferred alternative would displace 1,538 acres of farmland and result in the segmentation of 67 fields and pastures. The project would take 53 acres of wetlands in 81 parcels, traverse 3,000 linear feet of forested land and six streams and the associated floodplains. The project would require the displacement of 15 houses, 28 outbuildings associated with active farmsteads, and two businesses. Traffic generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 31 sensitive receptor sites. Businesses in bypassed towns would lose substantial trade. The facility would run close to three historic sites and would affect the interpretation of at least one of those sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PORT FREEPORT CHANNEL WIDENING, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS.
AN  - 36408724; 13092
AB  - PURPOSE: The widening of the Port Freeport Chanel in the Brazos Harbor Navigation District of Brazoria County, Texas is proposed. The project would include the widening of portions of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel and the entire length of the Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel. Existing channel dimension constraints at the harbor result in restriction of movements to one-way traffic, daylight-only operations for large vessels, and prevention of large vessel movements when wind speeds exceed 20 nautical miles per hour or cross currents exceed 0.5 nautical mile per hour. Maximum ship dimensions permitted by the pilots at Freeport Harbor are 825-feet overall length, 145-feet maximum beam, and 42-foot draft. Projections indicted that traffic in the harbor will increase annually by 1.9 percent and dry bulk calls by two percent. Economic pressure and technological advances have generally influenced a trend toward larger ships. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4). Alternatives 2 and 3 both provide for a 600-foot-wide entrance and jetty channels, but the alternatives differ in that the Alternative 2 would result in placement of dredge spoil at Quintana and Alternative 3 would result in placement of spoil at Surfside. Alternative 4 would widen the entrance and jetty channels to 500 feet and place the 1.6 mcy of dredge spoil into an ocean dumping site. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2 or 3) would result in the widening of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel from channel station 63+35, using a combination of mechanical, pipeline, and hopper dredging. The Jetty Channel would be gradually widening, at the authorized depth, up to an additional 150 feet to 1,835 feet to channel station 45+00. From that station for about 500 feet the channel would be widened an additional 200 feet. The remainder of the Jetty Channel and the entire Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel (the channel station -260+00) would then be widened an additional 200 feet. Total channel proposed for widening would extend 6.1 miles. The proposed action would require dredging of 3.2 mcy of dredging, consisting of 2.9 mcy of clay/silt material and 300,000 cy of silty-sandy material. Clay-silt material would be placed in an ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) redesignated for use by the Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Under Alternative 2, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Quintana Beach in front of the Seaway Upland Confined Placement Area. Under Alternative 3, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Surfside Beach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The channel widening proposal is consistent with other regional navigation channel improvements in response to world fleet trends and contributes to national economic development goals. Placement of the silty-sandy dredged spoil on Quintana Beach or Surfside Beach would enhance and protect the selected beach and shoreline. The enlarged beach at either site would provide additional habitat for shorebirds, and the Surfside Beach enlargement would protect housing along the shoreline behind the beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would release sediments, including contaminated sediments into the water column, causing temporary turbidity and temporarily lowering water quality due to the release of toxins. Beach and ODMDS disposal of dredged spoil would destroy benthos, temporarily at the ODMDS and permanently at the selected beach site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

The enlarged beach at either site would provide additional habitat for shorebirds, and the Surfside Beach enlargement would protect housing along the shoreline behind the beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would release sediments, including contaminated sediments into the water column, causing temporary turbidity and temporarily lowering water quality due to the release of toxins. Beach and ODMDS disposal of dredged spoil would destroy benthos, temporarily at the ODMDS and permanently at the selected beach site.

T1  - PORT FREEPORT CHANNEL WIDENING, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS. [Part 3 of 7]
T2  - PORT FREEPORT CHANNEL WIDENING, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS.
AN  - 36379698; 13092-080001_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The widening of the Port Freeport Chanel in the Brazos Harbor Navigation District of Brazoria County, Texas is proposed. The project would include the widening of portions of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel and the entire length of the Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel. Existing channel dimension constraints at the harbor result in restriction of movements to one-way traffic, daylight-only operations for large vessels, and prevention of large vessel movements when wind speeds exceed 20 nautical miles per hour or cross currents exceed 0.5 nautical mile per hour. Maximum ship dimensions permitted by the pilots at Freeport Harbor are 825-feet overall length, 145-feet maximum beam, and 42-foot draft. Projections indicted that traffic in the harbor will increase annually by 1.9 percent and dry bulk calls by two percent. Economic pressure and technological advances have generally influenced a trend toward larger ships. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4). Alternatives 2 and 3 both provide for a 600-foot-wide entrance and jetty channels, but the alternatives differ in that the Alternative 2 would result in placement of dredge spoil at Quintana and Alternative 3 would result in placement of spoil at Surfside. Alternative 4 would widen the entrance and jetty channels to 500 feet and place the 1.6 mcy of dredge spoil into an ocean dumping site. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2 or 3) would result in the widening of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel from channel station 63+35, using a combination of mechanical, pipeline, and hopper dredging. The Jetty Channel would be gradually widening, at the authorized depth, up to an additional 150 feet to 1,835 feet to channel station 45+00. From that station for about 500 feet the channel would be widened an additional 200 feet. The remainder of the Jetty Channel and the entire Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel (the channel station -260+00) would then be widened an additional 200 feet. Total channel proposed for widening would extend 6.1 miles. The proposed action would require dredging of 3.2 mcy of dredging, consisting of 2.9 mcy of clay/silt material and 300,000 cy of silty-sandy material. Clay-silt material would be placed in an ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) redesignated for use by the Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Under Alternative 2, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Quintana Beach in front of the Seaway Upland Confined Placement Area. Under Alternative 3, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Surfside Beach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The channel widening proposal is consistent with other regional navigation channel improvements in response to world fleet trends and contributes to national economic development goals. Placement of the silty-sandy dredged spoil on Quintana Beach or Surfside Beach would enhance and protect the selected beach and shoreline. The enlarged beach at either site would provide additional habitat for shorebirds, and the Surfside Beach enlargement would protect housing along the shoreline behind the beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would release sediments, including contaminated sediments into the water column, causing temporary turbidity and temporarily lowering water quality due to the release of toxins. Beach and ODMDS disposal of dredged spoil would destroy benthos, temporarily at the ODMDS and permanently at the selected beach site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - SOUTHEAST ISSAQUAH BYPASS, CITY OF ISSAQUAH, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON
AN  - 36423685; 13091
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a bypass arterial roadway in the eastern portion of the city of Issaquah, King County, Washington is proposed. Existing traffic volumes are impeding travel within the city; future growth is expected to worsen the problem. The proposed new north-south arterial would connect the Front Street in the south with Interstate 90 (I-90) at the Sunset Interchange in the north. The project design would include traffic control systems, pedestrian and bicycle trail connections, and stormwater management facilities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), were considered in the draft EIS of June 2000. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), were considered in the supplement to the draft EIS. This final EIS considers seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7). The currently preferred alternative (Modified Alternative 5) would extend southward from a new T-intersection at East Sunset Way, following a portion of the former railroad rights-of-way and the base of Tiger Mountain. In the south, the road would follow an alignment along Sixth Avenue Southeast to a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South. The alignment would then pass the Issaquah Sportsmen's Clubhouse and the Issaquah School District athletic field. Subsequently, the alignment would follow the former railroad rights-of-way around the southern end of Issaquah High School. New traffic signals would be installed at East Sunset Way, the main entrance to a proposed mixed-use development (Park Pointe), a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South, and the new Second Avenue Southeast intersection. The proposed roadway would include two travel lanes in each direction, with center-turn and right-turn lanes at several locations. A hard surfaced pedestrian/bicycle trail would be provided along the entire western edge of the roadway. The rail would connect directly to the Rainier Trail, creating a nearly continuous path from the Issaquah Community Center to the Tiber Mountain trail system. In addition to new trailhead parking facilities at the eastern end of Southeast Andrews Street, this alternative would include trailhead parking with a direction connection to the High School Trail. Retaining walls as high as 50 feet would be provided along both sides of the southern portion of the roadway to minimize impacts to the north tributary of Issaquah Creek, adjacent wetlands, and nearby residential properties. Five stormwater pond systems would be constructed to accommodate surface drainage. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $43.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would significantly enhance north-south movements in the eastern portion of the city. Anticipated economic growth in the area would be supported. Air quality would improve within some segments of the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 25.9 acres of residential land and five single-family residences. Land from an elementary school and a high school would be taken. The historic White Swan Inn and the Sportsmen's Clubhouse, also an historic site, would be affected slightly. The facility would constitute a significant visual intrusion into the area. The project would require filling of 0.16 acre of class 2 wetlands and would affect 1.39 acres of wetland buffer area and 0.53 acre of riparian habitat. In addition to habitat fragmentation, approximately 25 acres of forest and shrub habitat would be displaced. Federally protected species, including chinook salmon, bull trout, coho salmon, and bald eagles, could be affected. Noise levels affecting receptors along the facility would increase by up to 15 decibels by the year 2030. Energy consumption resulting from vehicular traffic would increase by 10 percent by the same year. The facility would traverse and area affected by seismic activity. Runoff would increase by 12.5 acre-feet per year, and annual infiltration volumes would increase by 10.5 acre-feet.

AN  - 36378926; 13091-080000_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a bypass arterial roadway in the eastern portion of the city of Issaquah, King County, Washington is proposed. Existing traffic volumes are impeding travel within the city; future growth is expected to worsen the problem. The proposed new north-south arterial would connect the Front Street in the south with Interstate 90 (I-90) at the Sunset Interchange in the north. The project design would include traffic control systems, pedestrian and bicycle trail connections, and stormwater management facilities. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), were considered in the draft EIS of June 2000. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), were considered in the supplement to the draft EIS. This final EIS considers seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7). The currently preferred alternative (Modified Alternative 5) would extend southward from a new T-intersection at East Sunset Way, following a portion of the former railroad rights-of-way and the base of Tiger Mountain. In the south, the road would follow an alignment along Sixth Avenue Southeast to a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South. The alignment would then pass the Issaquah Sportsmen's Clubhouse and the Issaquah School District athletic field. Subsequently, the alignment would follow the former railroad rights-of-way around the southern end of Issaquah High School. New traffic signals would be installed at East Sunset Way, the main entrance to a proposed mixed-use development (Park Pointe), a reconfigured intersection with Front Street South, and the new Second Avenue Southeast intersection. The proposed roadway would include two travel lanes in each direction, with center-turn and right-turn lanes at several locations. A hard surfaced pedestrian/bicycle trail would be provided along the entire western edge of the roadway. The rail would connect directly to the Rainier Trail, creating a nearly continuous path from the Issaquah Community Center to the Tiber Mountain trail system. In addition to new trailhead parking facilities at the eastern end of Southeast Andrews Street, this alternative would include trailhead parking with a direction connection to the High School Trail. Retaining walls as high as 50 feet would be provided along both sides of the southern portion of the roadway to minimize impacts to the north tributary of Issaquah Creek, adjacent wetlands, and nearby residential properties. Five stormwater pond systems would be constructed to accommodate surface drainage. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $43.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would significantly enhance north-south movements in the eastern portion of the city. Anticipated economic growth in the area would be supported. Air quality would improve within some segments of the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 25.9 acres of residential land and five single-family residences. Land from an elementary school and a high school would be taken. The historic White Swan Inn and the Sportsmen's Clubhouse, also an historic site, would be affected slightly. The facility would constitute a significant visual intrusion into the area. The project would require filling of 0.16 acre of class 2 wetlands and would affect 1.39 acres of wetland buffer area and 0.53 acre of riparian habitat. In addition to habitat fragmentation, approximately 25 acres of forest and shrub habitat would be displaced.

T1  - Hubbard Glacier, Alaska; ice dam formation and stability
AN  - 911678061; 2012-004060
AB  - Hubbard Glacier, the world's largest non-polar tidewater glacier, has been thickening and advancing over 2.5 km into Disenchantment Bay since it was first mapped by the International Boundary Commission in 1895. Currently, the tidewater terminus of Hubbard Glacier blocks a majority of the entrance of Russell Fiord at Gilbert Point on the northeast corner of Disenchantment Bay. During historic times, the advance of Hubbard Glacier has twice (1986 and 2002) isolated Russell Fiord from Disenchantment Bay, forming Russell Lake. The Russell Fiord closure events of 1986 and 2002 ended when the glacial dams failed catastrophically, generating two of the larger outburst floods ever recorded. With an estimated ninety-five percent of Hubbard Glacier within its accumulation zone, it is expected to continue to advance for the foreseeable future and again dam the seaward entrance of Russell Fiord. Should a dammed Russell Lake rise above elevation 40.2 msl during a closure event, it would spill over into a historic channel that flows into the Situk River. Such overflow events have occurred historically, with the last occurring around 1860. The Russell Lake discharge could exceed the capacity of the Situk River, possibly subjecting the town of Yakutat's airport to flooding, while also disrupting the river's fisheries which are essential component of the Yakutat economy. In order to determine the probability of a damaging overflow event, we are conducting an analysis of the glacier's dynamics as well as the adjacent marine environment to develop a model of the ice dam that would potentially block Russell Fiord at Gilbert Point. Additional data from the Russell Fiord watershed, including hydrologic data from historic flooding events, will be a necessary component of the modeling. We will be examining various scenarios of ice dam formation and evaluating responses to the rising water elevations of Russell Lake. Existing data from previous dam forming events and subsequent failures at Hubbard Glacier as well as at other glaciers will provide a comparative analysis to current conditions at the glacier margin. The model will analyze the mechanics and characteristics of ice dam formation by Hubbard Glacier to determine if, and under what conditions, these dams can remain stable long enough to cause flooding. We will present the conceptual model of Hubbard Glacier ice dams and discuss the basic understanding of its formation and stability criteria.

T1  - Large-Scale Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Restoration in Chesapeake Bay: Status Report, 2003-2006
AN  - 904494556; 15948012
AB  - In 2003, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Chesapeake Bay Office began a comprehensive research effort to restore submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Chesapeake Bay region. The effort employed an agricultural approach to restore under-water grasses by using seeds to produce new plants and mechanical equipment to plant seeds and harvest. Since this research initiative began, an average of 33 acres/yr of SAV has been planted in the Chesapeake Bay, compared to an average rate of 9 acres/yr during the previous 21 years (1983 2003). New techniques and equipment developed as part of this research have introduced the capability to collect and disperse millions of eelgrass seeds. These results demonstrate these programs success in developing tools and techniques necessary to plant SAV at scales unattainable with technologies existing only a few years ago.

T1  - Restoring Eelgrass (Zostera marina) from Seed: A Comparison of Planting Methods for Large-Scale Projects
AN  - 904492433; 15948035
AB  - Eelgrass (Zostera marina) seeds are being used in a variety of both small- and large-scale restoration activities and have been successfully used to initiate recovery of eelgrass in the Virginia seaside coastal lagoons, which lost eelgrass in the 1930s wasting disease pandemic (Orth et al. 2006a). However, a major bottleneck with the use of seeds has been the relatively low rate of seedling establishment, generally 10 percent or less of seeds placed in the field (Orth et al. 2003). A recently developed underwater seed planter (Traber et al. 2003) represents an alternative method that could improve seedling success compared to techniques used in previous Chesapeake Bay studies and elsewhere. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different techniques of seeding for use in large-scale projects: injecting seeds into submerged sediments with a mechanical seed planter and hand- broadcasting seeds on the sediment surface using divers.

T1  - Visualization, analysis and management of high-resolution LiDAR topography within a geospatial database framework
AN  - 753843318; 2010-073624
AB  - In recent decades scientific communities have seen a significant increase in technological innovations and applications using airborne and spaceborne remote sensing. In particular, ground-based and airborne laser altimetry (LiDAR) has provided the opportunity to characterize large-scale terrain and geologic processes at fine-scale resolutions. Although, processing and deriving information from these data can still pose significant challenges. The development of new sensors and increasing technological breakthroughs in computers has significantly increased data density, processing times and ultimately analysis of these data. To this end, we describe a novel approach that combines the use of Oracle database 11g, the OSGeo projects Mapserver and Open Source Software Image Map (OSSIM). We utilize Oracle's 11g Spatial Data Option (SDO) for point cloud storage of LiDAR data and manage all spatial metadata associated with the point cloud object automatically. Spatial metadata such as extents, can be easily visualized, in a web mapping environment, e.g., MapServer. Surface objects such as TINs, generated dynamically from the database, can be visualized in 3D via OSSIM. Our preliminary results are encouraging and show that utilizing a database centric approach to LiDAR storage and analysis is an efficient and viable means of visualizing and analyzing large point cloud datasets alongside other relevant geospatial information in a secure, role-based, database driven environment with open source visualization.

T1  - Alternative energy for U.S. military installations
AN  - 742901302; 2010-043292
AB  - The US Army has a goal to develop a sustainable, diverse, renewable energy portfolio for military facilities worldwide. The US Army Engineer R&D Center (ERDC) and its research partners are addressing this goal by developing alternative energy sources to reduce the Army's environmental footprint, diversify its energy portfolio, and increase use of zero-emissions geothermal energy. In Gulf Coast states and many areas in the western U.S., thousands of hydrocarbon and some groundwater wells reach depths where temperatures are 120 to 200 degrees C, and yet the Gulf Coast states have few developed geothermal resources. The ERDC team and partners are working with military installations to develop geothermal reservoirs on Dept of Defense lands near existing hydrocarbon fields, to take advantage of the confluence of high temperatures, high-permeability (engineered or otherwise) reservoirs, and high flow rates. At select military installations within the continental U.S., we are demonstrating the use of portable power systems that use heated water (or produced hydrocarbons) to generate 250 kW of electrical power. The system is driven by a simple, closed-loop evaporation process that produces no emissions. The only byproduct after the heat is extracted for power is electricity, since the "fuel" is re-injected into the reservoir for reheating. If this re-injection program is properly managed, a sustainable, renewable power supply is created that is on the order of the lifetime of the installation. The power system can operate using a wide range of resource temperatures starting as low as 74 degrees C. Additional units can be brought on-line quickly, immediately increasing installed capacity. In addition, the system can be configured for either liquid or air cooling to meet site-specific needs.

T1  - Permafrost temperatures and erosion protection at Shishmaref, Alaska
AN  - 50620783; 2008-111942
AB  - Shishmaref, Alaska, is located on Sarichef Island in the Chukchi Sea. Sarichef Island is composed of very fine-grained sand permafrost, most likely wind-blown deposits formed as dunes when global sea levels were much lower. With present-day sea levels and changing climatic conditions in the region, these permafrost soils are more susceptible to erosion from wind, wave, and ice forces. In recent years, erosion at Shishmaref has been more pronounced due to the changing climatic conditions in the region. To combat this erosion, several local protection projects have been constructed with varying degrees of success. In an effort to learn more about the thermal conditions of the permafrost at Shishmaref, ERDC-CRREL and the Alaska District installed a series of thermistor strings beneath these revetments. This data will allow us to gain an understanding of the temperature of the permafrost throughout the year and during periods of intense fall storm events.

AB  - As part of the Housing Privatization Project at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, a design/build contract was implemented for the construction of 372 housing units and all associated site improvements. Adverse weather conditions including heavy rainfall with early freezing temperatures and limited snow cover during the fall and early winter period produced conditions conducive to excessive ground frost heaving. The building appurtenances adjacent to the vertical insulation and above the horizontal insulation were exhibiting excessive and unacceptable upward movement. These adverse impacts included heaving stoops, patio slabs, driveways, and uplifting of the protective perimeter vertical insulation board. A plan to repair the damaged work product was developed and implemented. The repair efforts involved removal of all damaged items. Either excavation of the silt layer or placement of additional horizontal insulation board was determined on a site-specific basis. It is important to critically assess the potential for differential movement associated with building perimeter appurtenances.

T1  - Application of wind fetch and wave models for habitat rehabilitation and enhancement projects
AN  - 50524982; 2009-017221
AB  - Models based upon coastal engineering equations have been developed to quantify wind fetch length and several physical wave characteristics including significant height, length, peak period, maximum orbital velocity, and shear stress. These models, developed using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS 9.2 Geographic Information System platform, were used to quantify differences in proposed island construction designs for three Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Projects (HREPs) in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District (Capoli Slough and Harpers Slough) and St. Louis District (Swan Lake). Weighted wind fetch was calculated using land cover data supplied by the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) for each island design scenario for all three HREPs. Figures and graphs were created to depict the results of this analysis. The difference in weighted wind fetch from existing conditions to each potential future island design was calculated for Capoli and Harpers Slough HREPs. A simplistic method for calculating sediment suspension probability was also applied to the HREPs in the St. Paul District. This analysis involved determining the percentage of days that maximum orbital wave velocity calculated over the growing seasons of 2002-2007 exceeded a threshold value taken from the literature where fine unconsolidated sediments may become suspended. This analysis also evaluated the difference in sediment suspension probability from existing conditions to the potential island designs. Bathymetric data used in the analysis were collected from the LTRMP and wind direction and magnitude data were collected from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center.

T1  - The Heringen Collection of the U.S. Geological Survey Library, Reston, Virginia
AN  - 50425852; 2009-049544
AB  - A special collection of German, Polish, and Russian language books, maps and reports in the US Geological Survey Library has an interesting and unusual history. The so-called "Heringen Collection" came from Nazi Germany. Many of these items were captured from libraries, offices and even private homes as the German Army advanced into neighboring countries. In the last days of the war, these maps, reports, photos and other records were sent from the Military Geology offices in Berlin to the safety of a deep potash mineshaft in Heringen (Werra), in Hessen, Germany. A group of US Army soldiers found these lost records of the Third Reich. When removed from the Heringen mine, those records that dealt with the earth sciences, terrain analysis, military geology and other geological matters were sent to the USGS, and eventually came to reside at the USGS Library. The printed papers and books were mostly incorporated into the main collection, but a portion of the materials have never been cataloged, calendared or indexed. These materials have many current uses, including projects of value to citizens in their nations of origin.

T1  - Economic Impacts from Spending by Community Dock Owners at Rough River Lake
AN  - 21141411; 9047341
AB  - This report documents the local economic impacts of users of community-owned docks at Rough River Lake, located in western Kentucky. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of a sample of Rough River Lake community dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Rough River Lake are useful for accountability purposes, lake support, and explaining the role of the lake in the region's economy. This report demonstrates how the survey results can be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.

AN  - 21061020; 8369556
AB  - The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a remarkably rich remnant of the oak savannas, swamps, bogs, marshes, prairies, rivers, and forests that once rimmed south Lake Michigan. The park contains 24 km of Lake Michigan shoreline between Gary and Michigan City. Inland from the beaches, sand dunes rise to almost 20 m in a series of ridges, blowouts, and valleys. Wetlands fill many depressions between the dune ridges. The National Park Service web page provides more information: http://www.nps.gov/indu/.

T1  - Addressing environmental challenges at US hydro dams
AN  - 21015656; 8398221
AB  - The majority of lakes in the southeastern USA and other temperate regions of the world experience a phenomenon known as thermal stratification. During the summer months, as surface waters warm, the differences in density between the surface and bottom water restrict the vertical circulation of the water in lakes. Reservoir-based hydroelectric water intakes are typically oriented such that they draw water from a low level in the water column. The lower portion of a thermally stratified lake is practically void of dissolved oxygen. Releasing low dissolved oxygen water into the tailrace can seriously impact downstream fish habitat. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published dissolved oxygen criteria, indicating levels of less than 5 mg/1 can severely impair fish development in early stages of life.

T1  - Resources and nutrients oriented greywater treatment for non-potable reuses
AN  - 20954896; 11049818
AB  - This paper evaluated the performance and suitability of a resources and nutrients oriented decentralized greywater treatment system which uses a submerged spiral wound module. This greywater treatment system is aimed at treating and recovering the resources present in the wastewater. The study revealed that the UF membrane filtration system was able to maintain a permeate flux between 6 and 10 L/m2/h. TOC can be reduced from the influent value of 161 to 28.6 mg/L in the permeate, meaning an average elimination rate of 83.4%. In addition, soluble nutrients such as ammonia and phosphorus can pass through the UF membrane and remain in the permeate. The total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the permeate were 16.7 and 6.7 mg/L respectively. The permeate was low in turbidity (below 1 NTU) and free of suspended solids and E. coli and had an excellent physical appearance. The permeate can be used in gardening and agriculture for irrigation and soil fertilization or alternatively for toilet flushing after disinfection. The retentate generated in this system can be treated with blackwater and kitchen waste in an anaerobic digester at a later stage for producing biogas or compost.

T1  - Reproductive and thyroid hormone profiles in captive Western fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) after a period of brumation
AN  - 20740037; 8797245
AB  - Seasonal fluctuation in serum concentrations of sex steroid (testosterone [T] and 17-estradiol [E2]) and thyroid (triiodothyronine [T3] and thyroxine [T4]) hormones was determined in captive Western fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis). Samples were collected from male and female breeding pairs weekly for a 4-month period after their emergence from artificial brumation. Circulating levels of E2 corresponded with the expected vitellogenic and ovulatory cycles in females, and surprisingly, E2 in males followed a similar pattern, indicating a possible role in breeding behavior. Serum T was elevated in male lizards for the first 6 weeks after emergence from brumation, possibly related to an increase in the onset of active spermatogenesis. Thyroid hormones showed little cyclical activity throughout the breeding period, with the exception of small increases of T3 at weeks 8 and 16, possibly implying an active role of this hormone with ovulation in females. Overall, these baseline hormone data are not only useful in developing this animal as a laboratory reptile model for assessment of endocrine-mediated toxicity, but also of value for understanding herpetological endocrinology and for application in the conservation of threatened species.

T1  - A three-dimensional microstructure-based photon-tracking model of radiative transfer in snow
AN  - 20614683; 7891388
AB  - Solar radiation is a key component of the energy budget of snow-covered landscapes. Even a thin snow cover reflects most of the incident sunlight and transmits little. An understanding of the interaction of solar radiation with snow is essential to the study of the snow thermodynamics, chemistry, hydrology, ecology, and remote sensing. To investigate this interaction, a microstructure-based photon-tracking algorithm is presented. The three-dimensional snow microstructure is provided either by a discrete element model defined by shape, size, and spatial arrangement of individual ice grains or by an X-ray microtomography image of a snowpack. The model uses refraction, Fresnel reflection, and absorption laws, and the only optical input parameters are the complex index of refraction and absorption coefficient. The model follows individual photons through the microstructure, a porous network of ice and air, applying the fundamental optics laws at the ice-air interfaces and within the ice. By firing tens of thousands of photons a detailed examination of the spectral radiance and irradiance above, below, and within the snowpack is possible. The model was compared to results from a discrete ordinates model, and its sensitivity to the microstructural representation was studied. It was applied to investigate changes in reflected, absorbed, and transmitted light as a function of wavelength, snow depth, grain size, and snow density, used to predict the amount and direction of scattering within the snowpack, and used to explore the interaction of a collimated beam with snow.

T1  - Effective elution of RDX and TNT from particles of Comp B in surface soil
AN  - 20573363; 8096335
AB  - During live fire training exercises, large amounts of explosives are consumed. Low order detonations of high explosive payloads result in the patchy dispersal of particles of high explosive formulations over large areas of firing range soils. Dissolution of explosives from explosive formulation particles into soil pore water is a controlling factor for transport, fate, and effects of explosive compounds. We developed an empirical method to evaluate soils based on functionally defined effective dissolution rates. An automated Accelerated Solvent Extractor was used to determine the effective elution rates under controlled conditions of RDX and TNT from soil columns containing particles of Comp B. Contrived soils containing selected soil geosorbants and reactive surfaces were used to quantitatively determine the importance of these materials. Natural soils from training ranges of various soil types were also evaluated. The effects of geosorbants on effective elution rates were compound- and sorbent-specific. TNT elution was less than that of RDX and was greatly slowed by humic acid. Iron and iron-bearing clays reduced the effective elution rates of both RDX and TNT. This empirical method is a useful tool for directly generating data on the potential for explosives to leach from firing range soils, to identify general bulk soil characteristics that can be used to predict the potential, and to identify means to engineer soil treatments to mitigate potential transport.

T1  - Dissolution, Sorption, and Kinetics Involved in Systems Containing Explosives, Water, and Soil
AN  - 20559532; 7988250
AB  - Knowledge of explosives sorption and transformation processes is required to ensure that the proper fate and transport of such contaminants is understood at military ranges and ammunition production sites. Bioremediation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and related nitroaromatic compounds has met with mixed success, which is potentially due to the uncertainty of how energetic compounds are bound to different soil types. This study investigated the dissolution and sorption properties of TNT and RDX explosives associated with six different soil types. Understanding the associations that explosives have with a different soil type assists with the development of conceptual models used for the sequestration process, risk analysis guidelines, and site assessment tools. In three-way systems of crystalline explosives, soil, and water, the maximum explosive solubility was not achieved due to the sorption of the explosive onto the soil particles and observed production of transformation byproducts. Significantly different sorption effects were also observed between sterile ( gamma -irradiated) and nonsterile (nonirradiated) soils with the introduction of crystalline TNT and RDX into soil-water systems.

T1  - Benthic Bioaccumulation and Bioavailability of Polychlorinated Dibenzo- p-Dioxins/Dibenzofurans from Surficial Lake Ontario Sediments
AN  - 20526596; 9197980
AB  - The benthic bioavailability of surface sediment-associated polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) was quantified and assessed in Lake Ontario. Bottom sediments were collected from three areas along the Lake Ontario southern shoreline near Olcott, Rochester, and Oswego, New York. The sediment samples were subjected to 28-day, PCDD/F bioaccumulation experiments using the aquatic oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus. Empirical data including only detectable PCDD/F tissue residues were used to quantify the benthic bioavailability of 11 PCDD/F congeners through the calculation of biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs). BSAFs calculated for at least two lake areas were combined as Lake Ontario BSAFs for those specific congeners. Variability of the BSAFs was estimated by propagated error (PE) terms. Mean Lake Ontario BSAFs (+/-PE) ranged from 0.04+/-0.02 for octachlorodibenzofuran (OCDF) to 2.42+/-1.32 for 1,2,3,6,7,8- hexachlorodibenzofuran (HxCDF). Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDF, shown to be among the highest toxic equivalencies (TEQs) in lake sediments, yielded BSAFs of 0.51+/-0.18 and 0.22+/-0.12, respectively. Statistical comparison of the TCDD BSAFs showed no significant differences among the lake areas. The benthic bioavailability of TCDD appeared lower than the results of other investigators. While hydrophobicity and degree of chlorination play some role, other factors, such as steric properties, and composition of organic carbon and matter, may have had a greater influence on the benthic bioavailability of PCDD/F congeners. Comparisons of these benthic BSAFs to fish BSAFs suggest that the bioaccumulation of PCDD/F congeners by fish is more related to water solubility and degree of chlorination than to sediment concentration.

T1  - A historical review of dredging impacts on sea turtles in the southeastern USA
AN  - 20479133; 9167198
AB  - Approximately 500 incidental takes of loggerhead, green, and Kemp's ridley sea turtles have occurred during hopper dredging projects since 1980 in 34 coastal channels from the Texas-Mexico border through Virginia. Over the past 23 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and dredging industry have worked to develop protocols, operational methods, and modified dredging equipment to reduce dredging impacts to sea turtles. The success of these protection efforts is illustrated in the reductions in incidental takes compared to the increasing number of dredged channels monitored. During 1980, 71 sea turtle incidental takes were recorded for Canaveral Harbor alone, whereas, 21 takes were collectively recorded from all coastal hopper-dredging projects along the southeastern USA during 2003.

T1  - The Use of Herbicides for Managing Aquatic Vegetation in Southern Reservoirs
AN  - 20339753; 9016275
AB  - Herbicide use to control aquatic vegetation in southern reservoirs can elicit a wide range of responses and concerns from the fishing community, lake property owners, and the general public. Debates regarding the need to control aquatic plants, how much vegetation to control and where, and the herbicides chosen can be divisive. This paper will focus on the use patterns and technical features of aquatic herbicides and factors that should be considered when implementing a herbicide program for aquatic plant management in reservoirs. Both the angling community and general public often have misconceptions regarding herbicide use patterns, plant selectivity and nontarget impacts, and management objectives. There are currently 10 herbicide active ingredients registered for aquatic use. Glyphosate and imazapyr are used strictly for emergent aquatic plant control while copper, endothall, and fluridone are used almost exclusively for submersed plant control. The herbicides diquat, carfentrazone, penoxsulam, triclopyr, and 2, 4-D are used for both emergent and submersed plant control. Many of the registered herbicides have been used since the 1950s and 1960s for aquatic plant management. Each compound has unique properties that impact the recommended use rates and use patterns, label restrictions, and plant selectivity. There are also several new herbicides that are currently being evaluated for aquatic plants. While herbicides are used in a wide variety of aquatic systems, reservoirs often present unique challenges due to high-flow events and vegetation growing in narrow strips along the shoreline or in open flats. Rapid dilution or dispersion of the herbicide from the target area remains a significant technical challenge in reservoirs. The introduction of invasive plants such as hydrilla Hydrilla verticillata and Eurasian watermilfoil Myriophyllum spicatum has increased the complexity of management decisions. These fast-growing submersed species can be viewed as both beneficial and detrimental to various reservoir systems. While some see these plants as invasive species that require management, others see them as providing valuable habitat in systems with limited native vegetation. Despite both social and environmental challenges, aquatic herbicides continue to provide reliable, relatively rapid results and site-specific aquatic plant management at a wide variety of scales.

T1  - Barrier beach breaching from the lagoon side, with reference to Northern California
AN  - 20242238; 8234725
AB  - During the dry season in California, when storm action is limited and river flow is weak, the mouths of many estuaries close, creating barrier beaches and ponding water in the backing lagoons. If these barrier beaches do not breach naturally or are not manually breached, flooding hazards can develop in adjacent low-lying areas. Many barrier beaches are breached manually to facilitate migration of salmon or the threatened steel-head trout. Natural and manual breaching of barrier beach lagoons holds consequences for species transiting or inhabiting such freshwater lagoons. This paper discusses the breaching processes of barrier breaches on the coast of northern California, for which a new breaching susceptibility index is introduced. Susceptibility of breaching from the lagoon side is found to be related to the ratio formed as the water-head difference between the lagoon and ocean divided by the width of the barrier beach. The index indicates that a barrier beach will tend to breach where it is most narrow, which is commonly observed. The head difference represents the destructive force promoting breaching, and the barrier width represents the constructive force resisting breaching. The susceptibility index is tested successfully through case studies of the Carmel River Lagoon, Lake Earl, Redwood Creek, Russian River Estuary, and Stone Lagoon.

T1  - The economic value of beaches -- A 2008 update
AN  - 20238206; 8416127
AB  - Houston (1995a; 1996; 2002) described the economic value of America's beaches. He noted that the travel and tourism industry is becoming increasingly dominant in economies throughout the world. However, few realize that travel and tourism is already America's largest industry, employer, and earner of foreign exchange; and beaches are its leading tourist destination. Although high-technology industries grab the news, the U.S. runs a trade deficit in these industries and high-technology jobs are increasingly "offshored" in today's world economy. Travel and tourism is difficult to offshore and is providing the economic growth, jobs, and foreign exchange that make the U.S. competitive in a world economy. However, tourists have choices in international tourism, and the U.S. has neglected tourism and infrastructure investments supporting tourism. This paper updates and lends support to the conclusions of Houston (1995a; 1996; 2002) on the economic importance of beaches to the national economy.

T1  - The effect of organics on lead sorption onto Apatite II[TM]
AN  - 20204242; 8808355
AB  - Training activities at firing ranges, both civilian and military, deliver large quantities of Pb bullets into range soils where the physical and geochemical properties of the soil can influence Pb transport. Some best management practices (BMPs) developed for range managers include the addition of phosphate amendments, such as apatite, to immobilize Pb and other metals associated with firing ranges. In this study, the effect of the organic matter content of apatite II[TM] on its metal sorption properties was investigated. Batch and column experiments were conducted using mechanically, enzymatically, and thermally-treated forms of Apatite II[TM] to sorb soluble Pb. In batch experiments, mechanically and enzymatically-treated Apatite II[TM] reduced soluble Pb concentrations from 29% to 96%, depending on the age of the Apatite source. Thermally-treated Apatite II[TM] consistently reduced soluble Pb concentrations in solution by more than 90%, regardless of aging. The mechanically and enzymatically-treated Apatite II[TM] produced significantly higher dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentrations while undergoing aging. This contrasts with the thermally-treated Apatite II[TM] that produced very low to non-detectable levels of DOC and BOD while aging. To determine the effects of thermal treatment on performance efficiencies, studies were performed using 500 mg L super(-1) Pb solutions in columns packed with Apatite II[TM] that had been preheated at various temperatures for 2 h. The column study showed Pb loading of the Apatite II[TM] at different thermal treatments that ranged from 10.5% to 16.8% Pb by weight of substrate. The Pb loading capacity (by weight of substrate) increased as the treatment temperature of the Apatite II[TM] increased.

T1  - Effect of Water Temperature on 2,4-D Ester and Carfentrazone-ethyl Applications for Control of Variable-leaf Milfoil
AN  - 20012129; 8228772
AB  - Variable-leaf milfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michx.) is a submersed plant native to southwestern Quebec and Ontario, to North Dakota and southward to New Mexico and Florida (Godfrey and Wooten 1981). In the Northeastern U.S., variable-leaf milfoil is not native and is considered an invasive and weedy species. As an invasive species, it causes many of the same problems as Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.), including shading out native submersed vegetation and interfering with recreational activities and water supplies (Halstead et al. 2003, NH-DES 2002). Variableleaf milfoil is an aggressive invader that can grow up to one inch per day under optimal nutrient, temperature, and light conditions and spreads mainly via fragmentation (NH-DES 2002).

T1  - Geochemical Parameters Influencing Tungsten Mobility in Soils
AN  - 20000129; 8047707
AB  - The biogeochemistry of tungsten and its effects on mobility have recently gained attention due to the existence of human cancer clusters, such as in Fallon, NV. Tungsten exists in many environmental matrices as the soluble and mobile tungstate anion. However, tungsten can polymerize with itself and other anions, creating poly- and heteropoly-tungstates with variable geochemical and toxicological properties. In the present work, geochemical parameters are determined for tungstate species in a model soil that describe the potential for tungsten mobility. Soluble tungsten leached from a metallic tungsten-spiked soil after six to twelve months aging reached an equilibrium concentration >150 mg/L within 4 h of extraction with deionized water. Partition coefficients determined for various tungstate and polytungstate compounds in the model soil suggest a dynamic system in which speciation changes over time affect tungsten geochemical behavior. Partition coefficients for tungstate and some poly-species have been observed to increase by a factor of 3 to 6 over a four month period, indicating decreased mobility with soil aging.

T1  - Resistance of Vallisneria to Invasion from Hydrilla Fragments
AN  - 19994953; 8228770
AB  - Weighted hydrilla fragments were introduced to containers of wild celery (Vallisneria americana Michx.) grown at four water depths (18, 46, 91, 122 cm) in a research pond at the Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility, Lewisville, Texas. Established wild celery effectively reduced invasion by hydrilla fragments, while hydrilla fragments readily established in control containers filled with sediment alone. Hydrilla biomass harvested from controls, representing the "empty niche," was significantly greater (40 times) than hydrilla biomass harvested from containers planted with wild celery for all water depth treatments. This study addresses the concept that preemptive establishment of wild celery can slow or prevent invasion from hydrilla fragments at different water treatment depths.

T1  - Geology and shoreline retreat at Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve, Lake Erie, Ohio, USA
AN  - 19665859; 8369557
AB  - Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Erie on the east end of the 10.5 km-long Cedar Point sand spit. The preserve resembles an inverted "L" with a 1.8-km-long barrier beach that fronts Lake Erie and shields a wetland. Although the marsh only covers 465 acres (1.88 km super(2)), its ecological importance cannot be overemphasized because it is a small remnant of the fresh-water wetlands that once rimmed southwest Lake Erie and has become a critical stopover for migratory birds. The beach has suffered severe erosion since the 1950s, and protection and partial restoration of the sand barrier is essential to maintain the plant and animal communities, whose natural habitat has been severely restricted by urbanization and development along the Lake Erie shore. The shoreline at the preserve has been retreating throughout the 20th century. Between 1937 and 2003, the beach moved southward approximately 360 m. This averages to 5.4 m/year, but the retreat was episodic, with years of rapid retreat interspersed with periods of relative stability. The beach has been relatively stable during lower lake levels (post-1998). A water level rise in the future due to climatological factors (e.g., increased rainfall, less evaporation because of cloud cover, unexpected snow melt), would subject the barrier to significant damage from storm waves. The main cause of erosion along the Ohio shore is a lack of littoral sediment. The most immediate contributor to the sediment loss in the Sheldon Marsh area is the Huron Harbor structures, only 4900 m to the southeast. Because of the sheltering effect of the confined disposal facility at the Huron West Pier, significant amounts of sediment have been trapped next to the West pier, further depriving the littoral system of sediment. A lack of sediment indicates that erosion of the Sheldon Marsh barrier will occur under all Lake Erie water levels. However, higher water level will make the barrier narrower and therefore more vulnerable to breaches or overwash.

T1  - Concentration-Exposure Time Relationships for Controlling Sago Pondweed (Stuckenia pectinata) with Endothall
AN  - 19403295; 8703418
AB  - The submersed macrophyte, sago pondweed, frequently grows to nuisance levels in water conveyance systems throughout the western United States and can cause problems in lakes, reservoirs, and other water bodies. The liquid dipotassium and dimethylalkylamine salt formulations of endothall were evaluated for controlling sago pondweed using short exposure times (3 to 24 h) under controlled environmental conditions (14:10 h light:dark; 21.5 C). Endothall treatments ranged from 1 to 10 mg ai/L (dipotassium salt) and 0.5 to 5 mg ae/L (dimethylalkylamine salt). Sixteen concentration and exposure time (CET) combinations were evaluated in each study. At 4 wk after treatment, all CET combinations significantly reduced shoot biomass (43 to 99%) of sago pondweed compared with the untreated reference. Reduction in shoot biomass was greater in plants that received higher herbicide doses and longer exposure times. In addition, more than half of the endothall CET combinations controlled sago pondweed by at least 90%, with some providing >98% control. At the endothall CETs evaluated, regrowth of sago pondweed could occur after 4 wk, and some level of retreatment might be required to maintain plant control throughout the growing season. Results indicate that endothall shows promise as an alternative vegetation management tool in flowing-water environments. Nomenclature: Endothall, sago pondweed, Stuckenia pectinata (L.)

T1  - SOUTHEAST CORRIDOR, HOUSTON, TEXAS (SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2007).
AN  - 36410803; 13417
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of transit facilities in the Southeast Corridor of the Houston Metropolitan Area of Texas is proposed. The services would be provided along a line extending from downtown Houston to east of Martin Luther King Boulevard to serve downtown Houston, the universities area (i.e., Texas Southern University and the University of Houston) and the Southeast Transit Center. The corridor is identified in both the Houston-Galveston Council 2025 Regional Transportation Plan and the 2025 METRO Solutions as a priority for transportation investment. A 6.8-mile minimum operable segment (MOS), extending from downtown Houston southeast along Scott Street and Griggs Road to the vicinity of Interstate 610, was identified. The MOS lies geographically within the limits of the locally preferred investment strategy alignment for the Southeast Corridor; the alignment extends southeast to Hobby Airport. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the July 2006 draft EIS. The build alternatives include light rail transit (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT) convertible to LRT, and BRT. BRT and LRT are part of a broader family of high capacity transit technology referred to as Guided Rapid Transit (GRT). BRT convertible is presented as an interim BRT solution capable to being converted to LRT when warranted by ridership and development. The build alternatives would provide for the provision of new fixed-guideway transit services in the corridor. The build alternatives considered two alignment options. The alignments would extend from Bagby in downtown Houston southeast to an end-of-the-line terminus on Griggs Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. Separate alignments for the LRT and the BRT alternatives have been identified between Bagby and St. Emanuel in the downtown area. The LRT alignment would be located on Capitol while the BRT alignment under both BRT alternatives would be located on Capitol and Risk. East of St. Emanuel, there would be a common alignment for the LRT and BRT alternatives extending east along Capitol and then south along Scott Street to Wheeler Street. From Wheeler Street to the end of the line, the build alternatives would consist of two alignment options: 1) the base alignment on Scott Street and Griggs Road and 2) the Wheeler-Martin Luther King Boulevard alignment on Wheeler Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard, and Griggs Road. Both alignment options would terminate on Griggs Road and Beekman Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. The build alternative would provide access at 10 to 11 stations, and include a park-and-ride lot at the Palm Center Station, which is the terminus for the project. This January 2007 final EIS considered the No-Build Alternative and the locally preferred alternative (LPA). The LPA would provide for the implementation of the BRT convertible option, which consists of a high-capacity transit technology (also known as a Guided Rapid Transit system) that would ultimately be converted to LRT when ridership and development warranted such a system. Capital costs for the LRT, BRT convertible, and BRT options range from $329 million to $361.1 million, $191 million to $223.7 million, and $155.7 million to $182.7 million, respectively. Since the publication of the final EIS, the forecast ridership and costs have been reanalyzed and the results of those analyses indicate that immediate LRT construction would be more cost-effective than implementation of the convertible BRT system followed by an LRT system in the future. Hence, this supplement to the final EIS proposes the construction of the LRT without a preceding BRT phase. The proposed LRT would consist of a fixed guideway in two segments, as follows: 1) the downtown LPA alignment, extending from Interstate 45 to Polk, would run along Capitol and Risk streets, between Texas and Scott streets, and along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad rights-of-way; and 2) the Polk-to-Beekman Road alignment would follow the Scott Street median, cross the northbound lanes of Scott Street south of its intersection with Simmons Street, proceed on University of Houston property, curve eastward along the north side of Wheeler Street, continue to a point between Cullen Boulevard, cross Wheeler Street into an exclusive rights-of-way along the south side of the street, proceed eastward to Calhoun Road, where it would turn south at-grade into the median of Martin Luther King Boulevard and follow an alignment south of Griggs Road and east to the end of the line at Beekman Road. The fixed guideway would primarily use existing city street rights-of-way for its 26- to 34-foot-wide operating corridor. Cost of the LPA system is estimated at $604.7 million in 2007 dollars. In addition to the LRT alternative, this supplemental EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT or LRT would provide the necessary capacity to accommodate existing and future transit demands along the corridor. Access to major activity centers, including downtown Houston, the universities area, and the Texas Medical Center, would be enhanced. Neighborhood revitalization and economic development along the corridor would receive significant support. Reduced use of automobiles would decrease air pollution and traffic and ease the parking shortage. Base employment during construction for the LPA would result in the creation of 703 jobs over a three-year period. Operation of the LRT system would require the employment of 100 workers.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of transit facilities in the Southeast Corridor of the Houston Metropolitan Area of Texas is proposed. The services would be provided along a line extending from downtown Houston to east of Martin Luther King Boulevard to serve downtown Houston, the universities area (i.e., Texas Southern University and the University of Houston) and the Southeast Transit Center. The corridor is identified in both the Houston-Galveston Council 2025 Regional Transportation Plan and the 2025 METRO Solutions as a priority for transportation investment. A 6.8-mile minimum operable segment (MOS), extending from downtown Houston southeast along Scott Street and Griggs Road to the vicinity of Interstate 610, was identified. The MOS lies geographically within the limits of the locally preferred investment strategy alignment for the Southeast Corridor; the alignment extends southeast to Hobby Airport. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the July 2006 draft EIS. The build alternatives include light rail transit (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT) convertible to LRT, and BRT. BRT and LRT are part of a broader family of high capacity transit technology referred to as Guided Rapid Transit (GRT). BRT convertible is presented as an interim BRT solution capable to being converted to LRT when warranted by ridership and development. The build alternatives would provide for the provision of new fixed-guideway transit services in the corridor. The build alternatives considered two alignment options. The alignments would extend from Bagby in downtown Houston southeast to an end-of-the-line terminus on Griggs Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. Separate alignments for the LRT and the BRT alternatives have been identified between Bagby and St. Emanuel in the downtown area. The LRT alignment would be located on Capitol while the BRT alignment under both BRT alternatives would be located on Capitol and Risk. East of St. Emanuel, there would be a common alignment for the LRT and BRT alternatives extending east along Capitol and then south along Scott Street to Wheeler Street. From Wheeler Street to the end of the line, the build alternatives would consist of two alignment options: 1) the base alignment on Scott Street and Griggs Road and 2) the Wheeler-Martin Luther King Boulevard alignment on Wheeler Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard, and Griggs Road. Both alignment options would terminate on Griggs Road and Beekman Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. The build alternative would provide access at 10 to 11 stations, and include a park-and-ride lot at the Palm Center Station, which is the terminus for the project. This January 2007 final EIS considered the No-Build Alternative and the locally preferred alternative (LPA). The LPA would provide for the implementation of the BRT convertible option, which consists of a high-capacity transit technology (also known as a Guided Rapid Transit system) that would ultimately be converted to LRT when ridership and development warranted such a system. Capital costs for the LRT, BRT convertible, and BRT options range from $329 million to $361.1 million, $191 million to $223.7 million, and $155.7 million to $182.7 million, respectively. Since the publication of the final EIS, the forecast ridership and costs have been reanalyzed and the results of those analyses indicate that immediate LRT construction would be more cost-effective than implementation of the convertible BRT system followed by an LRT system in the future. Hence, this supplement to the final EIS proposes the construction of the LRT without a preceding BRT phase. The proposed LRT would consist of a fixed guideway in two segments, as follows: 1) the downtown LPA alignment, extending from Interstate 45 to Polk, would run along Capitol and Risk streets, between Texas and Scott streets, and along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad rights-of-way; and 2) the Polk-to-Beekman Road alignment would follow the Scott Street median, cross the northbound lanes of Scott Street south of its intersection with Simmons Street, proceed on University of Houston property, curve eastward along the north side of Wheeler Street, continue to a point between Cullen Boulevard, cross Wheeler Street into an exclusive rights-of-way along the south side of the street, proceed eastward to Calhoun Road, where it would turn south at-grade into the median of Martin Luther King Boulevard and follow an alignment south of Griggs Road and east to the end of the line at Beekman Road. The fixed guideway would primarily use existing city street rights-of-way for its 26- to 34-foot-wide operating corridor. Cost of the LPA system is estimated at $604.7 million in 2007 dollars. In addition to the LRT alternative, this supplemental EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT or LRT would provide the necessary capacity to accommodate existing and future transit demands along the corridor. Access to major activity centers, including downtown Houston, the universities area, and the Texas Medical Center, would be enhanced. Neighborhood revitalization and economic development along the corridor would receive significant support. Reduced use of automobiles would decrease air pollution and traffic and ease the parking shortage. Base employment during construction for the LPA would result in the creation of 703 jobs over a three-year period. Operation of the LRT system would require the employment of 100 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development for the LPA would require the acquisition of 55 whole parcels, including 27 residential, 23 commercial, and five other properties, as well as 85 partial parcels, affecting seven residential, 70 commercial, and 11 other properties. Relocation of 46 residences and 39 businesses would be required. The LPA would traverse MacGregor Park. Surface waters of Brays Bayou could be affected due to increased runoff, which would contain contaminants. Acquisition of land and two contributing properties and displacement of one contributing property within one the Third Ward East Historic District would be required. The system infrastructure and vehicles would intrude visually on corridor visual aesthetics. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Transit Laws (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of transit facilities in the Southeast Corridor of the Houston Metropolitan Area of Texas is proposed. The services would be provided along a line extending from downtown Houston to east of Martin Luther King Boulevard to serve downtown Houston, the universities area (i.e., Texas Southern University and the University of Houston) and the Southeast Transit Center. The corridor is identified in both the Houston-Galveston Council 2025 Regional Transportation Plan and the 2025 METRO Solutions as a priority for transportation investment. A 6.8-mile minimum operable segment (MOS), extending from downtown Houston southeast along Scott Street and Griggs Road to the vicinity of Interstate 610, was identified. The MOS lies geographically within the limits of the locally preferred investment strategy alignment for the Southeast Corridor; the alignment extends southeast to Hobby Airport. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the July 2006 draft EIS. The build alternatives include light rail transit (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT) convertible to LRT, and BRT. BRT and LRT are part of a broader family of high capacity transit technology referred to as Guided Rapid Transit (GRT). BRT convertible is presented as an interim BRT solution capable to being converted to LRT when warranted by ridership and development. The build alternatives would provide for the provision of new fixed-guideway transit services in the corridor. The build alternatives considered two alignment options. The alignments would extend from Bagby in downtown Houston southeast to an end-of-the-line terminus on Griggs Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. Separate alignments for the LRT and the BRT alternatives have been identified between Bagby and St. Emanuel in the downtown area. The LRT alignment would be located on Capitol while the BRT alignment under both BRT alternatives would be located on Capitol and Risk. East of St. Emanuel, there would be a common alignment for the LRT and BRT alternatives extending east along Capitol and then south along Scott Street to Wheeler Street. From Wheeler Street to the end of the line, the build alternatives would consist of two alignment options: 1) the base alignment on Scott Street and Griggs Road and 2) the Wheeler-Martin Luther King Boulevard alignment on Wheeler Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard, and Griggs Road. Both alignment options would terminate on Griggs Road and Beekman Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. The build alternative would provide access at 10 to 11 stations, and include a park-and-ride lot at the Palm Center Station, which is the terminus for the project. This January 2007 final EIS considered the No-Build Alternative and the locally preferred alternative (LPA). The LPA would provide for the implementation of the BRT convertible option, which consists of a high-capacity transit technology (also known as a Guided Rapid Transit system) that would ultimately be converted to LRT when ridership and development warranted such a system. Capital costs for the LRT, BRT convertible, and BRT options range from $329 million to $361.1 million, $191 million to $223.7 million, and $155.7 million to $182.7 million, respectively. Since the publication of the final EIS, the forecast ridership and costs have been reanalyzed and the results of those analyses indicate that immediate LRT construction would be more cost-effective than implementation of the convertible BRT system followed by an LRT system in the future. Hence, this supplement to the final EIS proposes the construction of the LRT without a preceding BRT phase. The proposed LRT would consist of a fixed guideway in two segments, as follows: 1) the downtown LPA alignment, extending from Interstate 45 to Polk, would run along Capitol and Risk streets, between Texas and Scott streets, and along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad rights-of-way; and 2) the Polk-to-Beekman Road alignment would follow the Scott Street median, cross the northbound lanes of Scott Street south of its intersection with Simmons Street, proceed on University of Houston property, curve eastward along the north side of Wheeler Street, continue to a point between Cullen Boulevard, cross Wheeler Street into an exclusive rights-of-way along the south side of the street, proceed eastward to Calhoun Road, where it would turn south at-grade into the median of Martin Luther King Boulevard and follow an alignment south of Griggs Road and east to the end of the line at Beekman Road. The fixed guideway would primarily use existing city street rights-of-way for its 26- to 34-foot-wide operating corridor. Cost of the LPA system is estimated at $604.7 million in 2007 dollars. In addition to the LRT alternative, this supplemental EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT or LRT would provide the necessary capacity to accommodate existing and future transit demands along the corridor. Access to major activity centers, including downtown Houston, the universities area, and the Texas Medical Center, would be enhanced. Neighborhood revitalization and economic development along the corridor would receive significant support. Reduced use of automobiles would decrease air pollution and traffic and ease the parking shortage. Base employment during construction for the LPA would result in the creation of 703 jobs over a three-year period. Operation of the LRT system would require the employment of 100 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development for the LPA would require the acquisition of 55 whole parcels, including 27 residential, 23 commercial, and five other properties, as well as 85 partial parcels, affecting seven residential, 70 commercial, and 11 other properties. Relocation of 46 residences and 39 businesses would be required. The LPA would traverse MacGregor Park. Surface waters of Brays Bayou could be affected due to increased runoff, which would contain contaminants. Acquisition of land and two contributing properties and displacement of one contributing property within one the Third Ward East Historic District would be required. The system infrastructure and vehicles would intrude visually on corridor visual aesthetics. Construction workers would encounter eight hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Transit Laws (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF TACTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, U.S. BORDER PATROL SAN DIEGO SECTOR, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36344402; 13085
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction, maintenance, and operation of tactical infrastructure along approximately 4.4 miles of the United States/Mexico international border within the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) San Diego Sector, California are proposed to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing from Mexico into the United States. The USBP's mission is to establish substantial probability of apprehending terrorists and their weapons as they attempt to enter the country illegally between Ports of Entry; deter illegal entries through improved enforcement; detect, apprehend, and deter smugglers or humans, drugs, and other contraband; leverage "smart border" technology to multiply the effect of enforcement personnel; and reduce crime in border communities and consequently improve quality of life and economic vitality of targeted areas. The USBP has identified several areas in the San Diego Sector that experience high levels of illegal cross-border activity. San Diego is a port of entry where concentrated populations live on either side of the border, the Mexican city of Tijuana lying just across the border from. Moreover, Mexicans have easy access to U.S. transportation routes. The proposed tactical infrastructure would consist of two sections of fences along the border. Section A-1 would extend 3.6 miles from Puebla Tree to Boundary Monument 250, following the international border where topography allows, but deviating from the border to follow the proposed 5.2-mile access road where topography does not allow. In areas where the patrol road is not adjacent to the fence, trails suitable for light-tracked vehicles would be provided f or the purpose of fence installation and maintenance. Section A-2 would extend 0.8 mile and would connect with the existing border fence west of Tecate. The alignment would run along the southeastern border of Tecate Peak. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Provision of the tactical infrastructure would increase border security within the USBP Rio Grande Valley Sector through facilities to impede illegal entrants and apprehend those that attempt to cross the border. The facilities would help prevent the entry into the country of terrorists, weapons used by terrorists, and illegal drugs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Section A-1 would largely run adjacent to the Otay Mountain Wilderness, and 1,300 feet of the fence would lie within the wilderness. Section A-2 would pass through riparian habitat and encroach on a mix of privately owned land parcels and public land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. All activities associated with the project could result in damage to vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, wildlife movements, visual aesthetics, and cultural resource sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (P.L. 109-295) and Secure Fence Act of 2006 (8 U.S.C. 1701).

T1  - US 14 FROM FRONT STREET IN NEW ULM TO NICOLLET COUNTY ROAD 6, BROWN AND NICOLLET COUNTIES, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36342387; 13080
AB  - PURPOSE: The widening and reconstruction of 21.8 to 22.6 miles of US Highway 14 from Front Street in New Ulm to Nicollet County Road (CR) 6 near Mankato in Brown and Nicollet counties, Minnesota are proposed. The study corridor is located about 70 miles south-southwest of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and directly west of the Mankato-North Mankato area. A variety of operational needs have long been recognized, including access management problems, lack of sufficient capacity, high accident rates along several sections, and geometric deficiencies. Moreover, this two-lane stretch of US 14 is the only two-lane section of the highway, the contiguous stretches being four-lane highways. Finally, the two-lane bridge carrying the highway across the Minnesota River would be nearly 50 years of age at the time of project implementation. The proposed project would upgrade the existing highway from a two- to four-lane divided expressway, with access controlled via interchanges, two-way stop intersections, and/or roundabouts. The upgraded highway may follow use existing and/or new alignment. The study corridor has been divided into two sections for the consideration of alternatives. For the section extending from New Ulm to Courtland, known as the West Study Section, three action alternatives are under consideration. All West Study Section alternatives include the expansion of the highway to four lanes as described above, as well as replacement of the Minnesota River bridge with a four lane crossing. All differences distinguishing the alternatives are related to alignment. For the section extending from Courtland to Nichollet, known as the East Study Section, four alignment alternatives are under consideration. All alternatives would involve provision of a northern bypass of Courtland, with an interchange, providing access to the city. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for increased capacity and safety within the study corridor, as well as the reduction of travel times and elimination of numerous points of access, which result in congestion and add to safety problems related to poor geometrics. Traffic would be removed from local streets in Courtland via the bypass. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace Minnesota River floodplain and 16.5 to 34.2 acres of associated wetlands and 360 to 610 acres of prime farmland, as well as woodlands along the bluffs. Displacement of 15 to 28 residences and three to five businesses would be required. One alternative would affect 10 acres of the Swan Lake Wildlife Management area. The project could affect five to 11 historic sites along the East Study Section, and the highway would constitute a significant visual intrusion on the bluffs. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - UPPER TRINITY RIVER, CENTRAL CITY, FORT WORTH, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2006).
AN  - 36349919; 13105
AB  - PURPOSE: Implementation of flood control, ecosystem restoration, and urban development measures within the Central City area of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas is proposed. The Central City study area lies at the confluence of the Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River in the heart of Fort Worth. The area is bounded generally by the Fort Worth Stockyards to the north, University Drive to the west, Interstate 30 to the south, and Sylvania Avenue to the east. An extensive floodway, incorporating channelization and levee walls, and interior drainage system has provided protection to the area. This system has proven to be inadequate, and discharges under future high water conditions could cause annualized damages of approximately $334,300. The system of sumps and 30 drainage structures that provides interior drainage system. Total flood damage from the 50-year event for sumps 25 and 14/15 are estimated to be $5.1 million and $13.9 million for the 100-year event. n addition, flood control and urban development have severely damaged the natural environment associated with the river, including riparian and upland forest, wetlands, and grassland. The area is also rich in cultural resources, now at risk, and affected by soil and groundwater contamination. Recreational resources are somewhat below the required capacity and populated largely by low-income Hispanics suffering from high unemployment rates. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of January 2006. The tentatively recommended plan, known as the Community-Based Alternative, would provide standard flood protection plus four feed of free board through construction of a bypass channel extending 8,400 feet from just downstream of Fifth Street on the Clear Fork to just upstream of Northside Drive on the West Work. The channel would be 300 to 400 feet wide between the top of the levees. The system would include three isolation gates, elevation and other improvements at sump facilities, a dam on the West Fork, 1,100 downstream of Samuels Avenue, designed to create a normal water surface elevation of 525 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum and an interior water feature, extending 900 feet, at the confluence of the Clear and West fork channels. Ecosystem restoration, involving primarily areas proposed for valley storage mitigation, would include reconnection of two historic river meanders and addition of 118 acres of water surface behind the Samuels Avenue Dam. Recreational facilities would include 10 miles of waterfront trails, two new pedestrian bridges, and 3.5 miles of contiguous boating loop. Three new vehicular bridges would be required to maintain existing traffic flow to and through the area. First cost of the recommended project alternative is estimated at $435 million in 2005 dollars. This supplement to the final EIS addresses a proposal by the city of Fort Worth to merge the Central City Project with the Riverside Oxbow Project. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore the design level of flood protection throughout the system and improve flood protection associated with interior drainage facilities ancillary to the floodway system. Regarding the area ecosystem, the project would restore, improve, and diversify aquatic habitat, increase emergent wetland habitat for migratory birds, establish continuity across ecosystems, and enhance existing pockets of high-quality bottomland hardwoods adjacent to the river. The recreational system would be improved and integrated, and the area would be more amenable to appropriate urban development. Merging the Central City Project and the Oxbow Project would allow for greater opportunity for valley storage requirements, increased restoration opportunities, and cost savings. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The merged projects would engender a potential for water stagnation and algal problems and algal problems on a greater frequency during summer due to increased evaporation as stream surface area is enlarged and water is impounded. Construction activities would result in temporary degradation of water quality due to turbidity and the release of toxins from contaminated soils. Significant historic and archaeological resources could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed during construction and operation of the system. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Public Law 108-447, and River and Harbor Act of 1960 (P.L. 89-298).

T1  - NORTHWEST AREA WATER SUPPLY PROJECT, NORTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 36342570; 13076
AB  - PURPOSE: The development of a special water treatment plant (WTP) in association with a pipeline system being constructed to transport water from Lake Sakakawea 45 miles northward to a regional distribution facility in the city of Minot in North Dakota is proposed to resolve a potential problem related to the transportation of invasive aquatic species. The pipeline would resolve regional water supply shortages in the northwestern section of the state. For many years, residents of northwestern North Dakota have experienced water supply problems. Lake Sakakawea, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir impounded by the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River, would provide 15,000 acre-feet of water annually. The most salient environmental issue identified during scoping relates to the movement of water from the Missouri River drainage area to the Hudson Bay drainage, potentially resulting in the transfer of invasive aquatic species between basins. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) conducted an analysis of this potential, resulting in a finding of no significant impact (FONSI). Construction on the main water pipeline began in the spring of 2002. In October of 2002, the Canadian Province of Manitoba filed a lawsuit challenging the FONSI. A February 2005 court order directed Reclamation to revisit the FONSI after further environmental analysis, particularly with respect to potential impacts due to failure to fully treat the water at its Missouri River source and possible pipeline leaks and treatment system failures. This EIS evaluates three WTP alternatives that would further reduce the risk of transferring invasive species a cross drainages; the EIS also addresses a No Action Alternative. Other key issues addressed in the EIS process are those related to impacts on federally protected species, historic properties, Indian trust assets, social and economic conditions, and environmental justice. The proposed water treatment plant would be situated on a 41-acre site south of the drainage divide separating the Missouri and Hudson Bay basins in McLean County. Each of the project alternatives assumes that the existing Minot water treatment plant would be upgraded and expanded to a treatment capacity of 26 million gallons per day. The Basic Treatment Alternative would include pre-treatment (coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation), followed by chemical and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. The Conventional Treatment Alternative would include a pre-treatment process using dissolved air flotation followed by media filtration and disinfection using UV and chemicals. The Microfiltration Alternative would include pre-treatment via coagulation and flocculation followed by membrane filtration and chemical and UV disinfection. Costs of construction for the Basic Treatment, Conventional Treatment, and Microfiltration Alternative are estimated at $68 million, $73 million, and $90 million, respectively. Respective annual operation and maintenance costs for the three alternatives are $1.8 million, $1.8 million, and $2.1 million. Cost of the Minot treatment plant upgrades is estimated at $29.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The WTP would ensure that the water delivered to northwestern North Dakota would be clear of biota of any kind, precluding the possibility of the introduction of invasive aquatic biota into the Hudson Bay drainage. The new source of water in the northwestern portion of the state would support a high quality of life and boost economic growth. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Other than disturbances at the Minot and McLean County WTP sites, resulting in the loss of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat at the latter site, the project would have no significant impacts. LEGAL MANDATES: Dakota Water Resources Act of 2000 and Garrison Division Unit Reformulation Act of 1960.

T1  - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING (REVISED DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999).
AN  - 36343677; 13073
AB  - PURPOSE: The drilling of new natural gas exploration and development wells on a leased 198,034-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) of Sublette County, Wyoming is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschultz Exploration Corporation, BP America Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by U.S. Highway 191 and Wyoming Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, live stock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. There are currently 457 producing wells on 322 well pads in the PAPA. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 295 wells on 26 well pads during 2006. Road miles within the PAPA would increase from 176.5 miles to 182.4 miles by the end of 2006. A total of 4,399 additional wells and the associated gathering pipelines and other ancillary facilities would be developed over the life of the PAPA development plan. Drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the "tight-gas" formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. This revised draft supplement to the October 1999 final EIS analyzes five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicants' proposal. The draft supplement was required because the long-term plan of the applicants has changed significantly since the October 1999 record of decision that accompanies the final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from wells in the PAPA would generate substantial revenue for Sublette County and for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New developments would disturb 12,768 acres of soils and vegetation, which would conflict with the goals of the Sublette County Resource Conservation Zoning District and severely degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Project developments would also displace habitat for sage grouse and bald eagle nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be affected by water depletions. Drilling in critical big game winter habitat would occur, though the affected land will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1. Forage capacity for livestock would be lost due to disturbance of soils and vegetation. Possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant impacts, including exposure to benzene. Developments could also affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Noise levels within 2,800 feet of drilling sites would exceed federal standards.

T1  - SOUTH BAY SALT POND RESTORATION PROJECT, SAN FRANCISCO BAY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36351996; 13104
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a wetlands ecosystem restoration project at the site of 15,100 acres of former salt ponds located around the edge of San Francisco Bay in California is proposed. If approved the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project would be the largest wetlands restoration project on the West Coast of the United States. In 2003, Cargill Inc., the owner of the salt ponds, sold the ponds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with the Service acquiring 9,600 acres located at the western end of Dumbarton Bridge (the Ravenswood pond complex) and along the bay from Mountain View to Fremont (the Alviso pond complex), and the California Department of Fish and Game acquiring the remaining 5,500 acres just south of the eastern end of the San Mateo Bridge. The agencies prepared an initial stewardship plan for the ponds, which included the construction of water control structures that would allow the former salt ponds to be reconnected to the bay and to preserve their current value as habitat while a long-term restoration plan was developed for the acquired wetlands. The plan also included the restoration of an initial 479 acres of ponds in the far southeastern corner of the bay to full tidal inundation, which occurred in March 2006. This draft EIS evaluates three long-term alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue to manage the ponds under the initial stewardship plan, each of which represents a progression toward a different long-term end-state. Alternatives B and C represent "bookends," the first managing 50 percent of the ponds for restoration purposes and allowing the remainder of the ponds to revert to unmanaged tidal habitat, the second managing 50 percent of the ponds for restoration purposes and allowing the remainder of the ponds to revert. These long-term restoration alternatives would include habitat management, flood management, and recreation and public access components. Under either action alternative, the ecosystem restoration would be completed 50 years following its initiation. Either alternative would follow an adaptive management approach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore and enhance wetlands in south San Francisco Bay while providing for flood management and wildlife-oriented public access and recreation. More specifically, the project would promote restoration of native special-status plants and animals that depending on the wetland habitat; maintain current migratory bird species that use the salt ponds and associated structures; support an increased abundance and diversity of native species in various bay aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem components; maintain or improve existing levels of flood protection; provide public access and recreational opportunities compatible with wildlife and habitat goals; protect or improve existing levels of water and sediment quality; implement design and management measures to maintain or improve current levels of vector management, control predation on special status species, and manage the spread of non-native invasive species; and protect the services provided by existing infrastructure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Moderate mitigable impacts to water quality would be expected in the Eden Landing, Alviso, and Ravenswood areas; these impacts could be mitigated to less than significant. Disturbance of the salt ponds for management purposes would alter a site with potential historic significance. Pump operations would increase ambient noise levels periodically.

T1  - WOLF CREEK DAM/LAKE CUMBERLAND, KENTUCKY: EMERGENCY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO SEEPAGE.
AN  - 36342910; 13095
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of emergency measures at the Wolf Creek Dam and Lake Cumberland near Jamestown, Kentucky is proposed. The high head dam creating Lake Cumberland is located near Jamestown, Kentucky at Cumberland River mile 460.9. The current authorized project purposes include flood control, hydropower generation, recreation, fish and wildlife management, and water quality enhancement. Although not specifically authorized for the purpose, the dam also makes some ancillary contribution to downstream navigation, particularly on the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Similarly, though water supply is not a dedicated purpose of the project, there are several water supply intakes that draw from the lake. The dam was built on highly erodible karst geology using accepted engineering practices of the day. Since the 1960s, seepage through the dam's foundation has been a concern. Over the last 30 years, periodic repairs on the dam have ceased being effective. In January 2007, due to the risk imposed on downstream populations by the dam's instability, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lowered the target pool elevation of Lake Cumberland from a maximum level of 760 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at full flood pool to 680 feet above MSL, while repairs take place over a number of years. This final EIS considers seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), to address the problems with the dam. Action alternatives include would involve lowering the pool elevation as noted above, implementation of an interim operating pan for the Cumberland River Reservoir System, construction of a new roller compacted concrete dam to replace the existing dam, and consideration of other alternative pool elevations, including extreme elevation changes that could occur during the five- to seven-year dam repair period. Alternative lake elevations are 610 feet, 650 feet, 680 feet, and 685 to 700 feet above MSL. The recommended plan would be to operate the dam at 680 feet above MSL. To mitigate the impacts of lowering the elevation of the lake, the dam operating plan would include blending turbine and sluice gate discharges to raise dissolved oxygen levels in dam releases; supplementation of water flows from the reservoir with flows from other tributary lakes; spillage of water through the trainer gates of mainstem projects if water quality decreases during summer months; reduction of recreational user fees and modification of recreational facilities to permit access to the lowered lake; installation of a supplemental tailwater intake for the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery; and implementation of a program to mitigate impacts to properties listed in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic places POSITIVE IMPACTS: The emergency measures and repair program would significantly reduce the risk of dam failure, a catastrophe that would take the lives of more than 100 persons and result in economic losses of over $2.0 billion. Water quality enhancement measures would help maintain water quality in the lake and along downstream reaches of the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers. Other mitigation measures would ensure recreationists reasonable access to lake-oriented opportunities, allow the fish hatchery to continue operating at full capacity, and prevent significant damage of historically significant sites and structures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lake drawdown would result in the creation of mudflats and the loss of lakeside wetland habitat and wetland habitat along lake tributaries and river as well as along the river downstream of the lake. The lake fishery would decline in value while the emergency measures are in place. Downstream water quality will decline somewhat, particularly during summer months, reducing its fish carrying capacity. Structures around the lake, including historically significant structures, would be damaged due to lake fluctuations. The hydroelectric generation and flood control capacity of the dam would decline significantly. All other purposes of the dam would be curtailed somewhat. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1938 (P.L. 75-761), Flood Control Act of 1944, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1946, River and Harbor Act of 1958, and Supplemental Defense Act of 1941.

T2  - NYS ROUTE 17, ELMIRA TO CHEMUNG, TOWN AND CITY OF ELMIRA, TOWNS OF ASHLAND AND CHEMUNG, CHEMUNG COUNTY, NEW YORK (ATTACHMENT: RECORD OF DECISION).
AN  - 873125306; 13522-0_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement or State Route (SR) 17 (Southern Tier Expressway) in the city of Elmira and towns of Elmira, Ashland, and Chemung, Chemung County, New York is proposed. The project corridor includes two segments of Route 17 between Exit 56 at SR 352 and Exit 59 at SR 427. The first segment begins approximately 0.37 mile east of the Exit 56 interchange at road mile (RM) 17 6205 1134 and ends approximately 0.93 mile west of the County Road (CR) 8 (Lowman Crossover) interchange at RM 17 6205 1210. There is an existing interchange located within the project limits, namely, the CR 8 (Lowman) interchange. The project would also include sections of CR 60 that run parallel to SR 17 on the north, CR 8 (Lowman Crossover), the Newtown Battlefield Road, and various other connecting road segments. The two segments of SR 17 are not fully access controlled and consist of two travel lanes in each direction, separated by a median varying in width from 20 feet to 26 feet. Recent federal legislation has designated SR 17 as a future interstate (Interstate 86). The proposed project would make this section of SR 17 fully access controlled and upgrade the highway, a rural principal arterial, to interstate standards. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of November 2007. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2, Option B) would provide for a controlled access highway on the existing SR 17 alignment from Jerusalem Hill to a point east of the existing connector road near Reed's Tavern, which a new diamond interchange would be provided. All at-grade access points would be eliminated and a 60-foot median would be provided throughout the corridor. The existing SR 17 westbound lanes would remain at their current location. The SR 17 eastbound lanes would be constructed further south between a point east of the Jerusalem Road connection and a point 0.2 mile west of the bridge over the Chemung River. Two travel lanes in each direction would be provided for mainline SR 17. Local access would be modified via the construction of new portions of CR 60 in between the existing sections to provide for a continuous parallel local road. A new diamond interchange would be constructed on SR 17 near the existing connector road just east of Reed's Tavern. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $73.75 million. This attachment to the final EIS includes a record of decision issued by Jeffrey W. Kolb of the New York Division of the Federal Highway Administration approving the project. The decision is enclosed with a both volumes of the final EIS and includes appendices presenting comments on the final EIS and responses to the comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading ST 17 to interstate standards would stimulate and maintain economic growth identified as beneficial in local and regional planning and economic development documents. Transportation safety within the corridor would increase significantly due to access control and improved design.

AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement or State Route (SR) 17 (Southern Tier Expressway) in the city of Elmira and towns of Elmira, Ashland, and Chemung, Chemung County, New York is proposed. The project corridor includes two segments of Route 17 between Exit 56 at SR 352 and Exit 59 at SR 427. The first segment begins approximately 0.37 mile east of the Exit 56 interchange at road mile (RM) 17 6205 1134 and ends approximately 0.93 mile west of the County Road (CR) 8 (Lowman Crossover) interchange at RM 17 6205 1210. There is an existing interchange located within the project limits, namely, the CR 8 (Lowman) interchange. The project would also include sections of CR 60 that run parallel to SR 17 on the north, CR 8 (Lowman Crossover), the Newtown Battlefield Road, and various other connecting road segments. The two segments of SR 17 are not fully access controlled and consist of two travel lanes in each direction, separated by a median varying in width from 20 feet to 26 feet. Recent federal legislation has designated SR 17 as a future interstate (Interstate 86). The proposed project would make this section of SR 17 fully access controlled and upgrade the highway, a rural principal arterial, to interstate standards. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of November 2007. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2, Option B) would provide for a controlled access highway on the existing SR 17 alignment from Jerusalem Hill to a point east of the existing connector road near Reed's Tavern, which a new diamond interchange would be provided. All at-grade access points would be eliminated and a 60-foot median would be provided throughout the corridor. The existing SR 17 westbound lanes would remain at their current location. The SR 17 eastbound lanes would be constructed further south between a point east of the Jerusalem Road connection and a point 0.2 mile west of the bridge over the Chemung River. Two travel lanes in each direction would be provided for mainline SR 17. Local access would be modified via the construction of new portions of CR 60 in between the existing sections to provide for a continuous parallel local road. A new diamond interchange would be constructed on SR 17 near the existing connector road just east of Reed's Tavern. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $73.75 million. This attachment to the final EIS includes a record of decision issued by Jeffrey W. Kolb of the New York Division of the Federal Highway Administration approving the project. The decision is enclosed with a both volumes of the final EIS and includes appendices presenting comments on the final EIS and responses to the comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading ST 17 to interstate standards would stimulate and maintain economic growth identified as beneficial in local and regional planning and economic development documents. Transportation safety within the corridor would increase significantly due to access control and improved design. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of two residential properties and one business 2.1 acres of wetlands, 4.34 acres of farmland of federal importance and 4.46 acres of acres of farmland of state important, and terrestrial wildlife habitat. As many as three archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected.

AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement or State Route (SR) 17 (Southern Tier Expressway) in the city of Elmira and towns of Elmira, Ashland, and Chemung, Chemung County, New York is proposed. The project corridor includes two segments of Route 17 between Exit 56 at SR 352 and Exit 59 at SR 427. The first segment begins approximately 0.37 mile east of the Exit 56 interchange at road mile (RM) 17 6205 1134 and ends approximately 0.93 mile west of the County Road (CR) 8 (Lowman Crossover) interchange at RM 17 6205 1210. There is an existing interchange located within the project limits, namely, the CR 8 (Lowman) interchange. The project would also include sections of CR 60 that run parallel to SR 17 on the north, CR 8 (Lowman Crossover), the Newtown Battlefield Road, and various other connecting road segments. The two segments of SR 17 are not fully access controlled and consist of two travel lanes in each direction, separated by a median varying in width from 20 feet to 26 feet. Recent federal legislation has designated SR 17 as a future interstate (Interstate 86). The proposed project would make this section of SR 17 fully access controlled and upgrade the highway, a rural principal arterial, to interstate standards. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of November 2007. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2, Option B) would provide for a controlled access highway on the existing SR 17 alignment from Jerusalem Hill to a point east of the existing connector road near Reed's Tavern, which a new diamond interchange would be provided. All at-grade access points would be eliminated and a 60-foot median would be provided throughout the corridor. The existing SR 17 westbound lanes would remain at their current location. The SR 17 eastbound lanes would be constructed further south between a point east of the Jerusalem Road connection and a point 0.2 mile west of the bridge over the Chemung River. Two travel lanes in each direction would be provided for mainline SR 17. Local access would be modified via the construction of new portions of CR 60 in between the existing sections to provide for a continuous parallel local road. A new diamond interchange would be constructed on SR 17 near the existing connector road just east of Reed's Tavern. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $73.75 million. This attachment to the final EIS includes a record of decision issued by Jeffrey W. Kolb of the New York Division of the Federal Highway Administration approving the project. The decision is enclosed with a both volumes of the final EIS and includes appendices presenting comments on the final EIS and responses to the comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading ST 17 to interstate standards would stimulate and maintain economic growth identified as beneficial in local and regional planning and economic development documents. Transportation safety within the corridor would increase significantly due to access control and improved design. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of two residential properties and one business 2.1 acres of wetlands, 4.34 acres of farmland of federal importance and 4.46 acres of acres of farmland of state important, and terrestrial wildlife habitat. As many as three archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Noise impacts would seriously affect seven additional residences along the corridor. Park access would be altered, and visual aesthetics would be degraded. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 05-0242D, Volume 29, Number 2 and 08-0077F, Volume 32, Number 1, respectively.

The first segment begins approximately 0.37 mile east of the Exit 56 interchange at road mile (RM) 17 6205 1134 and ends approximately 0.93 mile west of the County Road (CR) 8 (Lowman Crossover) interchange at RM 17 6205 1210. There is an existing interchange located within the project limits, namely, the CR 8 (Lowman) interchange. The project would also include sections of CR 60 that run parallel to SR 17 on the north, CR 8 (Lowman Crossover), the Newtown Battlefield Road, and various other connecting road segments. The two segments of SR 17 are not fully access controlled and consist of two travel lanes in each direction, separated by a median varying in width from 20 feet to 26 feet. Recent federal legislation has designated SR 17 as a future interstate (Interstate 86). The proposed project would make this section of SR 17 fully access controlled and upgrade the highway, a rural principal arterial, to interstate standards. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of November 2007. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2, Option B) would provide for a controlled access highway on the existing SR 17 alignment from Jerusalem Hill to a point east of the existing connector road near Reed's Tavern, which a new diamond interchange would be provided. All at-grade access points would be eliminated and a 60-foot median would be provided throughout the corridor. The existing SR 17 westbound lanes would remain at their current location. The SR 17 eastbound lanes would be constructed further south between a point east of the Jerusalem Road connection and a point 0.2 mile west of the bridge over the Chemung River. Two travel lanes in each direction would be provided for mainline SR 17. Local access would be modified via the construction of new portions of CR 60 in between the existing sections to provide for a continuous parallel local road. A new diamond interchange would be constructed on SR 17 near the existing connector road just east of Reed's Tavern. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $73.75 million. This attachment to the final EIS includes a record of decision issued by Jeffrey W. Kolb of the New York Division of the Federal Highway Administration approving the project. The decision is enclosed with a both volumes of the final EIS and includes appendices presenting comments on the final EIS and responses to the comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading ST 17 to interstate standards would stimulate and maintain economic growth identified as beneficial in local and regional planning and economic development documents. Transportation safety within the corridor would increase significantly due to access control and improved design. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of two residential properties and one business 2.1 acres of wetlands, 4.34 acres of farmland of federal importance and 4.46 acres of acres of farmland of state important, and terrestrial wildlife habitat. As many as three archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Noise impacts would seriously affect seven additional residences along the corridor. Park access would be altered, and visual aesthetics would be degraded. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 05-0242D, Volume 29, Number 2 and 08-0077F, Volume 32, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - NYS ROUTE 17, ELMIRA TO CHEMUNG, TOWN AND CITY OF ELMIRA, TOWNS OF ASHLAND AND CHEMUNG, CHEMUNG COUNTY, NEW YORK.
AN  - 36342914; 13060
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement or State Route (SR) 17 (Southern Tier Expressway) in the city of Elmira and towns of Elmira, Ashland, and Chemung, Chemung County, New York is proposed. The project corridor includes two segments of Route 17 between Exit 56 at SR 352 and Exit 59 at SR 427. The first segment begins approximately 0.37 mile east of the Exit 56 interchange at road mile (RM) 17 6205 1134 and ends approximately 0.93 mile west of the County Road (CR) 8 (Lowman Crossover) interchange at RM 17 6205 1210. There is an existing interchange located within the project limits, namely, the CR 8 (Lowman) interchange. The project would also include sections of CR 60 that run parallel to SR 17 on the north, CR 8 (Lowman Crossover), the Newtown Battlefield Road, and various other connecting road segments. The two segments of SR 17 are not fully access controlled and consist of two travel lanes in each direction, separated by a median varying in width from 20 feet to 26 feet. Recent federal legislation has designated SR 17 as a future interstate (Interstate 86). The proposed project would make this section of SR 17 fully access controlled and upgrade the highway, a rural principal arterial, to interstate standards. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2, Option B) would provide for a controlled access highway on the existing SR 17 alignment from Jerusalem Hill to a point east of the existing connector road near Reed's Tavern, which a new diamond interchange would be provided. All at-grade access points would be eliminated and a 60-foot median would be provided throughout the corridor. The existing SR 17 westbound lanes would remain at their current location. The SR 17 eastbound lanes would be constructed further south between a point east of the Jerusalem Road connection and a point 0.2 mile west of the bridge over the Chemung River. Two travel lanes in each direction would be provided for mainline SR 17. Local access would be modified via the construction of new portions of CR 60 in between the existing sections to provide for a continuous parallel local road. A new diamond interchange would be constructed on SR 17 near the existing connector road just east of Reed's Tavern. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $73.75 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading ST 17 to interstate standards would stimulate and maintain economic growth identified as beneficial in local and regional planning and economic development documents. Transportation safety within the corridor would increase significantly due to access control and improved design. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of two residential properties and one business 2.1 acres of wetlands, 4.34 acres of farmland of federal importance and 4.46 acres of acres of farmland of state important, and terrestrial wildlife habitat. As many as three archaeological sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Noise impacts would seriously affect seven additional residences along the corridor. Park access would be altered, and visual aesthetics would be degraded.

T1  - I-69/TRANS-TEXAS CORRIDOR STUDY.
AN  - 36342887; 13052
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Interstate 69/Trans-Texas Corridor (I-69/TTC) project is proposed. A part of the U.S. Congress-initiated National I-69 Corridor, the multimodal corridor would also constitute an element of the I-69/TTC system. The facility would extend from Texarkana to the Texas/Mexico border near Laredo and/or the Rio Grande Valley. The fully developed corridor would include high-speed passenger rail (two tracks), freight rail (two tracks), two separate truck controlled access highway lanes in each direction, and a multi-purpose utility corridor. The facility would lie within a 1,200-foot-wide corridor. The TCC concept would apply only to Texas; it would not extend beyond Texas borders. The I-69 highway modes would extend to Shreveport, Louisiana to connect with the National I-69 Corridor system. In addition to the No Action Alternative and an alternative that would provide for modification of existing facilities, this draft EIS considers 75 new location corridor alternatives and seven reasonable connector corridors. The initially conceived study area generally follows the National I-69 Corridor (Corridor 18 and Corridor 20) and was established to develop and evaluate the alternatives. The general corridor area extends 650 miles from Texarkana to Laredo, with connections to the National I-69 Corridor near Shreveport and to the Rio Grande Valley following US 77 and US 281. The study area was subsequently extended west of Houston due to constraints on development in the Houston metropolitan area. The corridor was also expanded to provide connectivity between Laredo and Corpus Christi. The I-69/TTC project would be completed in phases over the next 50 years, with alignments prioritized according to state transportation needs. A preferred alternative has been identified amongst the new location alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The I-69/TTC corridor would improve the international, interstate, and intrastate movement of goods and people; address anticipated south and east Texas transportation for the next 50 years; and sustain and enhance the economic vitality of Texas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition and facility development would require displacement of residences, businesses, and community facilities as well as agricultural land, forested land, wetlands, and other natural areas and the associated wildlife habitat. Facility uses would disrupt communities via severances and increased ambient noise levels. Cultural resource values, including both historic and archaeological sites, would be damaged or destroyed.

T1  - Spatial structure of low-frequency wind noise.
AN  - 70091657; 18247645
AB  - The distinguishing spatial properties of low-frequency microphone wind noise (turbulent pressure disturbances) are examined with a planar, 49-element array. Individual, propagating transient pressure disturbances are imaged by wavelet processing to the array data. Within a given frequency range, the wind disturbances are much smaller and less spatially coherent than sound waves. Conventional array processing techniques are particularly sensitive to wind noise when sensor separations are small compared to the acoustic wavelengths of interest.

T1  - Effects of organic matter on the distribution of uranium in soil and plant matrices.
AN  - 68525403; 17709130
AB  - This work studied interactions of uranium with pure organic compounds, such as glutathione, and more complex mixtures, such as humic acid and aqueous plant extracts. High performance liquid chromatography with UV absorption interfaced to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry sequential detection was used to detect organouranium complexes in a variety of soils and plant materials, indicating that nearly 100% of the uranium extracted from certain plant tissues was bound to organic ligands. In addition, soil sorption experiments indicated that humic acid generally decreased uranium sorption to soils and promoted subsequent desorption of uranium because of uranium partitioning to the organic phase. These experiments demonstrate that organic compounds influence the mobility and chemistry of uranium in the environment.

T1  - SALTCEDAR CONTROL and Riparian Restoration -- Be careful with generalizations
AN  - 20933978; 8207035
AB  - Significant changes in plant communities have occurred along rivers in the Southwest since the early 1900s. This is due, in part, to the introduction of exotic plant species, particularly saltcedar (Tamarix spp.). The spread and abundance of saltcedar have been accelerated by management actions that have disturbed these river systems (Parker and others, 2005; Stromberg and others, 2005). These management actions, such as peak flow attenuation, channel narrowing, and channel incision, often influence the hydrology and geomorphology of the rivers. River regulation and geomorphic alterations, combined with seed source availability, have allowed saltcedar and other non-native vegetation to spread into many areas, and in some situations to compete with native vegetation.

T1  - INTERSTATE 73 SOUTH, DILLON, HORRY, AND MARION COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36342818; 13049
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a segment of Interstate 73 (I-73) in new alignment in Dillon, Horry, and Marion counties of northeastern South Carolina is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeast from I-95 and is bounded to the northeast by the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, to the southeast by US 17, and to the southwest by the eastern edge of the Great Pee Dee River floodplain, US 38, and US 501. The facility would terminate at SC Route 22 in Horry County; SC 22 would be converted to become a segment of I-73. The typical section would accommodate a six-lane facility with corridors for future rail lines and allowances for frontage roads where appropriate. More specifically, the facility would provide for two lanes of traffic in each direction. In the future, when traffic volumes increased to a point that additional lanes would be necessary in order to maintain an acceptable level of service, an additional lane in each direction could be added within the median. An estimated 400-foot-wide rights-of-way would be acquired where frontage roads were planned. Where frontage roads were not required, a 300-foot rights-of-way would be adequate. The build alternatives under consideration in this draft EIS would extend from 42.6 miles to 48.3 miles. Interchanges would provide access to and from I-95, US 501, SC 41A, US 76, and SC 22. Certain alternatives would also provide interchanges at SC 41, S-23, or S-308. In addition to the eight build alternatives under consideration, this final EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of interstate would provide a freeway link between I-95 and the Myrtle Beach region to serve residents, businesses, and tourists while fulfilling congressional intent in an environmentally responsible and community sensitive manner. In addition to providing system linkage, the freeway would promote economic development, relieve local traffic congestion, enhance multimodal planning, and improve hurricane evacuation from the South Carolina coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 45 to 109 residences, six to 18 commercial structures, 1,708 to 2,155 acres of farmland, 413 to 492 acres of wetlands, 1,884 to 2,194 acres of upland habitat, 94 to 321 acres of floodplain, 991 to 1,144 acres of high-density archaeological resource area, and, possibly, one park. The project could directly disturb one historic site and would visually affect one to two such sites. From 41 to 66 stream crossings would be necessary, affecting five to 10 streams exhibiting outstanding water quality and two to seven streams with impaired water quality. One wildlife species of concern could be affected under any of three alternatives. Numerous structures would be affected by noise levels in excess of federal standards. 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).

T1  - REX EAST PROJECT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, OHIO, AND WYOMING.
AN  - 36342712; 13044
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC for the construction and operation of a 639.1-mile natural gas pipeline facilities is proposed. The system, known as the REX East Project, would become a component of the 1,679-mile natural gas pipeline system that would extend from Colorado to Ohio. The pipeline would provide natural gas transportation service for gas produced in the Rocky Mountain region from the terminus of the REX West Project in Audrain County, Missouri to markets in the midwestern and eastern United States. The proposed system would include 639.1 miles of 42-inch pipeline in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The pipeline system would be supported by seven new compressor stations, specifically, the Mexico Station in Audrain County, Missouri; Blue Mound Station in Christian County, Illinois; Bainbridge Station in Putnam County, Indiana; Hamilton Station in Butler County, Ohio; Chandlersville Station in Muskingum County, Ohio; Arlington Compressor Station in Carbon County, Wyoming; and Bertrand Compressor Station in Phelps County, Nebraska. In addition the system would include 20 meter stations and associated interconnecting pipeline facilities at 14 locations along the route as well as 42 mainline valves. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, a system alternative, nine major route alternatives, and route variations for 18 segments of the pipeline. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline system would deliver up to 18 billion cubic feet per day of gas to other interstate natural gas pipelines. The project would provide access to an additional 16 interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines at 200 interconnect points. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would disturb 14,349 acres, of which 4,042 acres would be retained for the operation of the system. Approximately 74 percent of the land to be disturbed is classified as agricultural. The project could affect water wells due to changed in groundwater recharge during construction. The route would cross 144.7 miles of forested areas. The pipeline would traverse 1,462 waterbodies, including 313 perennial, 435 intermittent, and 672 ephemeral streams or rivers, 27 open water areas, and 15 unclassified waterbodies. Five waterbodies listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, two in Indiana and three in Ohio, would be affected, as would the Mississippi River at Blackburn Island. A total of 51 of the affected waterbodies constitute fisheries of special concern. Wetlands would be displaced or modified. The pipeline would pass within 50 feet of 84 residences and cross 31 special interest areas, including state parks and forests, trails, scenic highways, canoeing streams, wild and scenic rivers, and nature preserves. Blasting of bedrock would occur on 13 percent of the pipeline route during construction. Habitat of the federally protected Indiana bat and the Ohio state-listed eastern hellbender could be damaged. Cultural surveys have identified hundreds of archaeological and historically significant structural resources, many of which have been recommended for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Forty-three native tribes have been identified as having cultural ties to the corridors affected by the project. Noise barriers would have to be provided in some areas to reduce noise from compressor stations to levels within federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BERTHS 136 - 147 CONTAINER TERMINAL LOS ANGELES HARBOR, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36348569; 13040
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an expanded container terminal at berths 136 through 147 in the West Basin of Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles County, California is proposed. The study area lies in the Port of Los Angeles approximately 20 miles south of downtown and immediately south of the Wilmington community. In 2003, the terminal handled 891,976 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containerized cargo and serviced 246 vessel calls. At full operation, expected to occur by 2025, the terminal could handle 2.4 million TEUs per year, a level of traffic that would exceed the terminal's current capacity by 700,000 TEUs. Under the proposed action, the project would increase terminal size from 176 acres to 243 acres through the redevelopment of 52 acres of existing industrial land and the development of five acres of fill in the Northwest Slip. Pier A within the existing industrial land would be relocated. The existing main guard station, administrative building, reefer wash facility, maintenance and repair and roadability facility, longshore restroom, yard operations building, and Pacific Harbor Line office would be demolished and replaced by new buildings. The terminal would be improved by the construction of two new truck gates and a new 5000-space parking lot. The waters adjacent to berths 144 through 147 would be deepened by dredging to match the planned 53-foot-deep channel that is expected to be created by a proposed channel deepening project; 295,000 cubic yards of sediments would be dredged and deposited at an upland disposal site or approved ocean dumping site. The wharves at berths 146 and 147 would be replaced and expanded. Berths 136 through 139 and 145 and 146 would be upgrade to meet current seismic standards. The wharf associated with berths 136 through 138 would be extended by 400 feet inter Berth 134. The project would provide a 10-acre on-dock rail yard on the site of the existing Pier A rail yard. Harry Bridges Boulevard would be widened and realigned along its current alignment, and a 30-acre landscaped area would be provided between the boulevard and C Street. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and four action alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new container facilities would increase and optimize the cargo-handling efficiency and capacity of the Port of Los Angeles at the affecting berthing area. Needed containerized cargo-handling facilities would be provided to maximize the use of the existing waterways and integrate them into the overall use of the port. The proposed facilities would accommodate 2.4 TWUs of containerized cargo per year. Construction activities and expanded terminal operations would add significantly to local employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fill area would displace open water and benthic habitat within the port. Emissions of volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur oxides related to truck traffic and other equipment associated with the operations of the terminal would exceed federal and/or state air quality standards. By 2025, the terminal would generate 6,377 daily truck trips, placing significant stress on the local and regional road transportation systems. Increased terminal operations will increase vessel traffic within the port and on approaching navigation lanes, increasing the chance for vessel collisions with other vessels and with marine mammals. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - MISSISSIPPI RIVER - GULF OUTLET DEEP-DRAFT DE-AUTHORIZATION STUDY, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 36343372; 13030
AB  - PURPOSE: The de-authorization of deep-draft navigation on the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) between the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) and the Gulf of Mexico in St, Bernard, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and Tangipahoa parishes, Louisiana is proposed. The study area covers the Middle and Lower Pontchartrain Basin. Compared to the Mississippi River proper, the MRGO provides a shorter navigation route from the Gulf of Mexico to the Port of new Orleans tidewater facilities. The MRGO channel extends from the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in New Orleans to the 38-foot depth contour in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to directly eliminating 3,150 acres of marsh, 100 acres of wetland forest, and 830 acres of shallow open water, the MRGO has brought saline waters into adjacent areas, causing significant shifts that include the conversion of 3,350 acres of fresh/intermediate marsh and 8,000 acres of cypress swamp to brackish marsh and 19,170 acres of brackish marsh and swamp to saline marsh. Between 1964 and 1996, 5,324 acres of marsh have been lost adjacent to the MRGO due to bank erosion along the channel. The Sound Reach of the MRGO experienced sever shoaling during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. In December 2006, four alternatives were developed to allow continued shallow-draft navigation, three alternatives that completely closed the MRGO from the GIWW to the Gulf, and one that would cease all navigation maintenance activities on the MRGO from the GIWW to the Gulf. An economic evaluation of the channel failed to demonstrate a federal interest in continued operation and maintenance of the MRGO. This final EIS considers two alternatives in detail: 1) immediate construction of a closure structure across the MRGO near Bayou La Loutre and 2) ceasing all MRGO operations and dredging activities. Present channel conditions accommodate navigation up to a 22-foot draft. Alternative 1 has been selected at the tentatively recommended plan. The existing MRGO bank stabilization features and jetties would be de-authorized but remain in place. Under the proposal at hand the MRGO would be de-authorized, any navigational functions of the MRGO that should be maintained would be maintained, measures for hurricane and storm damage reduction would be identified, and the plan would be fully integrated into and consistent with the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Plan. Estimated initial construction cost for the total closure structure is $13.5 million; other estimated costs include $700,000 for navigational aids and $1.5 million for real estate acquisition. Total average annual costs for this alternative are estimated at $6.8 million, with resulting annual benefits valued at $12.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the MRGO channel would prevent potentially risky uses of the channel by vessel operators willing to risk navigation in an irregularly shoaled shallow-draft waterway. The proposed action could generate environmental benefits through partial restoration of estuarine salinity gradients and tidal conditions. The plan could also prevent the loss of a significant extent of the 1,863 net acres of marsh expected to be lost without the de-authorization. Salinity stratification would be reduced north of the total closure structure, which would reduce salinity stratification in Lake Pontchartrain. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All navigational benefits of the MRGO would be foregone with the construction of the closure structure.

T1  - CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE, AND OPERATION OF TACTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, RIO GRANDE VALLEY SECTOR, TEXAS.
AN  - 36342378; 13029
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction, maintenance, and operation of tactical infrastructure along approximately 70 miles of the United States/Mexico international border within the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Rio Grande Sector in Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron counties, Texas are proposed to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing from Mexico into the United States. The USBP's mission is to establish substantial probability of apprehending terrorists and their weapons as they attempt to enter the country illegally between Ports of Entry; deter illegal entries through improved enforcement; detect, apprehend, and deter smugglers or humans, drugs, and other contraband; leverage "smart border" technology to multiply the effect of enforcement personnel; and reduce crime in border communities and consequently improve quality of life and economic vitality of targeted areas. The YSBP has identified several areas in the Rio Grande Valley Sector that experience high levels of illegal cross-border activity. This activity occurs in areas that are remote and not easily accessed by USBP agents, near ports of entry where concentrated populations live on either side of the border, contain thick vegetation that can provide concealment, or have quick access to U.S. transportation routes. The infrastructure would include pedestrian fencing, patrol roads, and access roads. The proposed action would be implemented in 21 discrete sections, ranging in length from one mile to more than 13 miles. The sections of infrastructure would be developed in the vicinity of Roma, Rio Grande City, McAllen, Progreso, Mercedes, Harlingen, and Brownsville, Texas. For much of its length, the tactical infrastructure would follow the International Boundary and Water Commission levee along the Rio Grande. Appropriations legislation has provided $1.9 billion for border security fencing, infrastructure, and technology. This draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the proposed action, which includes two route alternatives, and a double-fence alternative using one of the routes forwarded under the proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Provision of the tactical infrastructure would increase border security within the USBP Rio Grande Valley Sector through facilities to impede illegal entrants and apprehend those that attempt to cross the border. The facilities would help prevent the entry into the country of terrorists, weapons used by terrorists, and illegal drugs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some portions of the infrastructure would encroach upon privately owned land parcels, and the facilities would cross multiple land use times, including rural, agricultural, suburban, and urban land. The infrastructure would encroach upon portions of the Lower Rio Range Valley National Wildlife Refuge and Texas state parks in the Rio Grande Valley. All activities associated with the project could result in damage to vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, wildlife movements, visual aesthetics, and cultural resource sites.

T1  - RUETER-HESS RESERVOIR, DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 2003).
AN  - 36341701; 13026
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir near the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado is proposed by the Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) in a supplement to the final EIS of July 2003 on the construction and operation of the facility. The off-stream reservoir, to be known as the Reuter-Hess Reservoir, is located on Newlin Gulch and include a diversion structure along Cherry Creek. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of July 2003. Action alternatives included the proposed 16,200-acre-foot reservoir and an 11,200-acre-foot reservoir alternative. The PWSD now proposes to enlarge the reservoir from the current permitted design to a capacity of 72,000 acre-feet. The reservoir would continue to capture, reuse, and store seasonal high flows in Cherry Creek and also capable of capturing and reusing advanced wastewater treatment return flows currently discharged to Cherry Creek. Under the No Action Alternative, the PWSD would pump all of its Denver Basin aquifer appropriations on a yearly basin, requiring the construction of a pump station and chlorination plant and development of well fields and related facilities in the Denver Basin. In addition to the proposed action, this supplemental EIS considers a reduced-capacity reservoir expansion (47,000 acre-feet) and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged reservoir would maximize the storage capacity based on the site's topography, allowing the facility to storage sufficient amounts of Denver Basin groundwater and the associated reuse water from initial Denver Basin us. The project would provide a safe, adequate, and sustainable municipal water supply to the PWSD. The water supply would be capable of meeting a portion of peak demand within the District's legal boundary for the next 50 years; the 2003 projected build-out for the water distribution and supply system is 23,840 single-family equivalents, or approximately 85,000 residents. The reservoir would greatly reduce the number of Denver Basin wellfields required for the PWSD. Hence, the project would help conserve groundwater in the area. The reservoir could provide opportunities for recreational boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, camping, and picnicking. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the reservoir would inundate 0.21 acre of wetlands and four miles of intermittent stream channel, in addition to the 6.7 acres of wetlands and five miles of other waters of the U.S. permitted as part of the 2003 project. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft supplemental EIS, see 07-0306D, Volume 31, Number 2.

T1  - LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGULATION SCHEDULE STUDY, FLORIDA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF NOVEMBER 1999).
AN  - 36348807; 13023
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, Florida is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring 720 square miles in area. It is nationally renowned sport fishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee River estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving waterbodies, including the Everglades, which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1999. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by the final EIS of November 1999 would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. This final supplement to the final EIS supports the proposed operational changes to the lake regulation schedule and provides additional planning in response to heavy rainfall and numerous hurricanes, resulting in higher than normal lake levels, since the publication of the final EIS. All alternatives evaluated in the draft and final EISs were based on criteria for managing Lake Okeechobee at a lower level than current water regulation schedule. The issue of public and health safety based on the integrity of the Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) was also a key factor in the selection of the preferred alternative. The currently preferred alternative schedule would attempt to balance competing objectives, including flood control, water supply, navigation, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement. The schedule would be an interim measure until a new schedule to accommodate the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and related projects, the HHD see page berm construction or equivalent dike repairs are completed. Following rehabilitation of the HHD, the CERP would be operated under the new system-wide CERP schedule or under a new schedule providing storage equivalent to the existing Water Supply and Environment schedule. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas; increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries; and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and sea grasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in vegetative change from sawgrass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA #A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

T1  - KIRBY PARKWAY, MACON ROAD TO WALNUT GROVE ROAD, MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1991).
AN  - 36342110; 13019
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 2.5-mile highway, to be known as Kirby Parkway, from Walnut Grove Boulevard to the intersection of Whitten and Macon roads in Memphis, Tennessee is proposed in this draft supplement to the final EIS of August 1991 and the Environmental Reevaluation of March 2001. The entire Kirby Parkway project study area extends 10 miles north to south along a corridor in eastern Shelby County, Tennessee. This draft supplement examines alternatives not considered in the final EIS. Three alternatives are considered for the corridor extending from the northern intersection of Humphreys Boulevard and Walnut Grove Road through Shelby Farms to south of Interstate 40 (I-40) at Macon Road. The new alternatives include the addition of a new interchange, intersection modifications, and a reduction in the number of travel lanes from six to four to allow for the provision of a landscaped median. The project would include improvements and existing sections of Whitten Road between Kirby Parkway and Macon Road. From Macon Road following Whitten Road to Mullins Station Road, the preferred alternative would provide for four, 12-foot travel lanes, a 14-foot center turn lane, 10-foot shoulders, and curb-and-gutter sections on either side of the roadway, within a 1000-foot rights-of-way. The cross-section would also incorporate five-foot sidewalks on either side of the roadway. From Walnut Grove Road to Mullins Station Road, the parkway would feature four, 12-foot lanes, 12-foot outside shoulders, six-foot inside shoulders, and a variable width depressed median within a 220-foot rights-of-way. The project would provide a new grade-separated interchange with Walnut Grove Road, located approximately 1,900 east of the newly constructed Wolf River Bridge and 3,5000 feet west of the existing signalized intersection of Walnut Grove Road and Farm Road. The trumpet interchange design would require Walnut Grove Road to be relocated north of the existing roadway by 450 feet to provide for the loop ramp. The alternative would provide Farm Road with right-in/right-out access to westbound Walnut Grove Road, while eliminating access to eastbound Walnut Grove Road. Access to Walnut Grove Road would be via Kirby Parkway. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Kirby Parkway would benefit travelers at local, state, and regional levels by improving accessibility to nearby and remote employment opportunities, markets, and services. The new route would facilitate not only through traffic between I-240 and I-40, but also the commuting populations of Bartlett, Germantown, and surround residential areas via improved connectivity. Planned recreational uses of nearby Shelby Farms would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of five residences, 1.8 acres of wetlands. Approximately 320 linear feet of stream would have to be relocated. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - YAZOO BACKWATER AREA. MISSISSIPPI: REFORMULATION STUDY (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1982).
AN  - 36342155; 13022
AB  - PURPOSE: The reformulation of the remaining unconstructed features of the Yazoo Backwater Area Project to provide flood control and ecological benefits in the Yazoo Basin, Mississippi is proposed. The triangular 4,093-square-mile area lies in west-central Mississippi between the Mississippi River east bank levee and the hill line on the east. The four major subbasins within the area are the Big Sunflower River, Little Sunflower River, Deer Creek, and Steele Bayou basins. Approximately 630,000 acres within the basin are subject to inundation by the 100-year flood event; 360,000 acres within this area are cleared. On an average annual basis, approximately 499,000 acres are inundated, of which 231,000 acres are cleared. An array of nonstructural and structural measures and combinations thereof emphasizing increased urban flood protection and reduced agricultural intensification and environmental impacts have been evaluated. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final supplement to the 1982 final EIS on the project. The recommended alternative (Alternative 5) would consist of a installation of a 14,000-cubic-foot-per-second pumping plant with a year-round pump operation elevation of 87 feet, National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), at Steele Bayou; purchase of conservation easements from willing sellers for reestablishment of bottomland hardwoods on 55,600 acres of agricultural land below the pump elevation; modification of operations at the Steele Bayou structure impounding Yazoo Backwater Area river water to maintain water levels between the 70- and 73-foot NGVD elevation during low-water periods. Federal first costs for the project are estimated to total $220.1 million, and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $15 million; the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.5. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional project features would reduce urban and rural structural damage in the currently affected areas by 85 percent. Returns to agricultural interests would be increase, while the natural environment would be enhanced. The reforestation element, along with the changes in land use based on the conservation easements, would provide significant environmental benefits to the area. Private ownership of reforested lands would be maintained. Crucial one-year fish spawning habitat would be restored. Water levels during low-flow seasons would be raised significantly, increasing standing stocks and production of many fish species. Critical habitat for the threatened Louisiana black bear, the endangered pondberry, neotropical forest breeding birds, migratory birds, and waterfowl. Increases in organic matter would provide a more secure food chain in this heterotrophic system. Sediment and nutrient loading to receiving streams would decline. Recreational opportunities would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Farmland converted to forest under the easement component of the plan would be removed from agricultural production. Construction of the pumping station would displace 38 acres of bottomland hardwood forest and the associated wildlife habitat. The extent of floodplain habitat would decrease in the Big Sunflower area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1941 (P.L. 77-228).

T1  - CENTER HILL DAM AND LAKE, DEKALB COUNTY, TENNESSEE: CHANGES TO CENTER LAKE ELEVATIONS.
AN  - 36347522; 13010
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of changes to operational guide curves for pool elevations at the Center Hill Dam and Lake at river mile 26.6 on the Caney Fork River in DeKalb County, Tennessee is proposed. The combination concrete and earthen embankment dam was constructed during the 1930s and 1940s. A saddle dam was constructed in 1946 to close a V-notch through the right rim. The entire project was completed in 1951. The dam impounds the second largest flood control reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District. The three-generator unit hydroelectric plant located immediately downstream of the dam on the left descending bank of the Caney Fork River has a capacity of 135,000 kilowatts. The average discharge from the dam is approximately 3,800 cubic feet per second. Center Hill Lake has a drainage area of 2,174 square miles and a surface area of 18,220 acres. The lake impounds 2.1 million acre-feet at its maximum flood control pool elevation. The average depth of the reservoir is 73 feet and the retention time is 13-00 days. The concrete dam, earthen embankment, and saddle dam, left and right rims have been plagued with seepage problems since the construction of the dam. In recent years seepage has increased to an unprecedented 127 cubic feet per second under normal lake operations. Foundation conditions are deteriorating due to erosion of clay-filled joints in the rock within the rims and dam foundation. Two environmental assessments were completed in 2006 to address seepage repairs and findings of no significant impact were executed for each. At that time, no significant changes in the customary pool elevations were considered necessary. The maximum pool elevation is 685 feet above mean sea level (MSL). All project uses except flood control are drawn from the power pool located between 618 feet above MSL and 648 feet above MSL. The average minimum winter lake is 623.5 feet above MSL. The anticipated repairs will take a number of years to implement. As a proactive measure, the Corps in evaluating different interim lake elevations that would reduce hydrostatic pressure and balance the risk of dam failure with the impact to project purposes and environmental resources. This draft EIS addresses possible impacts due to interim pool elevations, including extreme elevation changes that could occur during the seven-year period during which the dam will undergo repairs to address foundation and abutment problems. Nine alternative, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would maintain current design lake elevation ranges, are considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives involve drawing down the lake to elevations between 496 feet and 618 above MSL for the lowest drawdown range (Alternative 9) to elevations between 623 and 645 above MSL for the highest drawdown range (Alternative 2). The Corps recently modified the normal maximum pool elevation to 640 feet above MSL, the bottom of the normal pool, to reduce the risk of dam failure. The recommended plan would involve installation of permanent cutoff walls and supplemental grouting into the main dam embankment, main dam and saddle dam foundations, and rim walls to arrest seepage. In addition, the plan would provide for installation of an orifice gate over a sluice gate to provide a continuous and well-oxygenated minimum flow of 200 cubic feet per second to augment flow for water quality enhancement downstream of the dam. The Corps has also identified a number of distress indicators that would prompt an immediate unscheduled emergency drawdown of the lake. Cost of implementation of the recommended plan is estimated at $240 million, the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 3.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Lake drawdown and structural rehabilitation of the dam would reduce the risk of catastrophic dam failure to acceptable levels, protecting the health and safety of the downstream population and maintaining the lake and stream ecosystems and hydroelectric, flood control, environmental enhancement, and recreational purposes of the dam and lake. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the degree of drawdown, lowering the level of the lake would have minor to sever impacts on aquatic resources, threatened and endangered species of plants and animals, the coldwater fishery, water quality, wildlife habitat, water supply, historic sites, water quality, tailwater heights, shoreline erosion, recreational use of the lake and river, reservoir aesthetics, flood control, hydropower, thermal power, operation and maintenance costs, general economics of operations, employment, tax valuations, property values, community cohesion, displaced residents and businesses, loss of farmland, and regional and community growth. Under the more severe drawdowns, the plan would eliminate the coldwater fishery, the hydropower power potential of the dam, and public recreational facilities use. LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1938 (P.L. 75-761) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - SOUTH LAWRENCE TRAFFICWAY (PROJECT 10-23K-3359-13) FROM U.S. 59 TO K-10 HIGHWAY, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS: SECTION 404 PERMIT APPLICATION (ADOPTION BY THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND THE KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION).
AN  - 36341523; 13011
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new roadway around the western and southern sides of the city of Lawrence in Douglas County, Kansas is proposed. The facility, to be known as the South Lawrence Trafficway, would follow the existing Thirty-first Street alignment between Louisiana Street and Haskell Avenue, running adjacent to the Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) campus. New information brought forth by the administration of HINU has made it necessary to study further the impacts of the proposed action in the vicinity of the HINU campus and review alternatives to the proposed action. The analysis presented in this final supplemental EIS is limited to the area between U.S. 59 on the west and Kansas Route 10 on the east, a distance of approximately six miles. The northern and southern limits of this corridor are Twenty-third Street and the Wakarusa River, respectively. The portion of the project from the Kansas Turnpike (Interstate 70) to U.S. 59 has been constructed and is open to traffic. Construction on the portion of the project under consideration in the final supplemental EIS has been suspended to address spiritual, cultural, academic, and development concerns expressed by HINU authorities. Four alternatives, including a No Build Alternative, are considered. The No Build Alternative is the preferred alternative. Through the issuance of this final EIS, the Federal Highway Administration, in cooperation with the Kansas Department of Transportation, adopt the final EIS, has accepted the conclusions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with respect to wetland impacts and mitigation of wetlands impacts under Section 404(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Elimination of the segment of the project bordering HINU would preserve the cultural, spiritual, and academic character of the campus. The displacement of residences and agricultural land and ecologically sensitive areas, such as state-designated critical habitat for a federally-designated endangered species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred action would not contribute to relieving congestion on existing 23rd Street and Iowa Street as planned. The Douglas County circumferential transportation system would be incomplete. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.)

T1  - Research activities at U. S. government agencies in subsurface reactive transport modeling
AN  - 51091216; 2008-028971
AB  - The fate of contaminants in the environment is controlled by both chemical reactions and transport phenomena in the subsurface. Our ability to understand the significance of these processes over time requires an accurate conceptual model that incorporates the various mechanisms of coupled chemical and physical processes. Adsorption, desorption, ion exchange, precipitation, dissolution, growth, solid solution, redox, microbial activity, and other processes are often incorporated into reactive transport models for the prediction of contaminant fate and transport. U.S. federal agencies use such models to evaluate contaminant transport and provide guidance to decision makers and regulators for treatment issues. We provide summaries of selected research projects and programs to demonstrate the level of activity in various applications and to present examples of recent advances in subsurface reactive transport modeling.

T1  - UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 8, WIS 35(N) TO US 53, POLK AND BARRON COUNTIES, WISCONSIN.
AN  - 36348781; 13002
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane highway along approximately 40 miles of US 8 extending from Wisconsin 35 (N) (WIS 35 (N)) to US 53 in Polk and Barron counties, Wisconsin is proposed. Within the study corridor limits, the highway passes through the communities of Range and Poskin, the villages of Turtle Lake and Almena, and the city of Barron. The corridor also passes through the towns of St. Croix Falls, Balsam Lake, Apple River, Beaver, Almena, Clinton, Barron, and Stanley. US 8, primarily a two-lane highway, with four-lane sections in the village of Turtle and the city of Barron, is a rural principal east-west arterial route across central Wisconsin and constitutes a component of the National Highway System. Four-lane highways lie at either end of the study corridor, which is classified as a connector route in the Corridors 2020 state highway plan. The corridor under consideration is currently characterized by inadequate capacity along much of the highway, excessive accident rates in urban areas, and substandard roadway design. Alternatives under consideration in this final EIS include a No Action Alternative, implementation of a transportation system management plan, addition of passing lanes to the existing highway, and provision of a four-lane facility within the corridor. The corridor was divided into seven segments to study the four-lane alternatives, each segment having one or more alternatives that could be built on the existing alignment or on a new alignment. In addition, the four-lane alternatives provide bypass alternatives for Turtle Lake and Barron. A preliminarily preferred four-lane alternative is identified. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $115.2 million . POSITIVE IMPACTS: Provision of a multi-lane highway in the study corridor would improve safety and increase capacity on a route of national, state, and local importance, easing freight and traveler transport in the region. Recent and anticipated growth along the corridor and beyond would be supported. Substandard roadway design would be ameliorated, reducing accident rates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of several hundred acres of land, a number of residences and businesses, two archaeological resource sites and one historic building, a significant extent of wetlands and agricultural lands and forest, and public lands associated with Cattail Trail. A number of waterbodies would be traversed. Construction workers would encounter several hazardous waste sites. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Potential for Biodegradation of the Alkaline Hydrolysis End Products of TNT and RDX
AN  - 20368370; 9047445
AB  - Energetic compounds, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and their degradation products, can act as a source of contamination for soil on Department of Defense testing and training ranges. Base-catalyzed hydrolysis degrades nitroaromatics and nitramines, and the potential effectiveness of this reaction in soil has been demonstrated at both bench and pilot scales. This report evaluates the potential for soil bacteria to degrade the transformation products from the alkaline hydrolysis of munitions residues. The media were obtained from the hydrolytic destruction of TNT and RDX at pH 12.5, 11.5, and 10.5. Duplicate reactors were amended with [ super(14)C]-labeled explosive compounds. Bench-scale microcosms incubated aerobically and anaerobically using grenade range soil as the inoculum and reaction mixtures (quenched and neutralized) as the media showed that there is a potential for biodegradation. Nutrient analysis confirmed the presence of increased levels of nitrite and formate following both aerobic and anaerobic incubation. TNT end products from alkaline hydrolysis were aerobically mineralized, with 16% [ super(14)C]-label recovered as CO sub(2). RDX reaction end products demonstrated much greater mineralization than TNT (roughly threefold). The use of alkaline material on training ranges has the potential to treat source-zone energetics contamination.

T1  - Summary of Available Guidance and Best Practices for Determining Suitability of Dredged Material for Beneficial Uses
AN  - 20366863; 9046984
AB  - The Corps of Engineers has the responsibility to maintain navigation of waterways across the United States. The Corps dredges more than 300 million cubic yards of sediment annually. Subsequently, methods to evaluate and determine environmentally and economically sound management alternatives are needed. Technological advances in equipment, treatment, and handling technologies continue to increase the options for beneficial uses (BUs). Ten categories of BU are: 1) Habitat development, 2) Beach nourishment, 3) Aquaculture, 4) Parks and recreation, 5) Agriculture, forestry, and horticulture, 6) Strip mine reclamation and solid waste management, 7) Shoreline stabilization and erosion control, 8) Construction and industrial use, 9) Material transfer, and 10) Multiple purpose. BUs of dredged material have a productive history resulting in over 2,000 man-made islands, more than 100 marshes, and nearly 1,000 habitat development projects. Corps islands provide vital habitat for rare, threatened, or endangered species. It is estimated that 1,000,000 birds nest on dredged material islands each year. BUs of existing dredged material in confined disposal facilities (CDF) should be considered along with all the alternatives available for CDF management. This report compiles current guidance and best practices useful to evaluate dredged material from ongoing dredging projects or CDFs for BUs.

T1  - HARRISONBURG SOUTHEAST CONNECTOR LOCATION STUDY, ROCKINGHAM COUNTY AND CITY OF HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36348734; 13000
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of the Harrisonburg Southeast Connector, traversing the southeastern metropolitan area of the city of Harrisonburg in Rockingham County, Virginia is proposed. The new facility would extend from US 11 to US 33. Direct east-west links across the study area connecting major activity centers and major highways are limited. Most roads across the area are secondary facilities that are narrow, winding, hilly, and discontinuous. The country development plan indicates that this area should be made available for commercial, residential and industrial development and proposes water and sewer services to serve that growth, resulting in the need for supporting transportation infrastructure improvements. Six build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in detail in this final EIS. Combinations of multiple build alternatives are also discussed. The essential differences distinguishing alternatives involve alignment routing. Depending on the route chosen, the facility would extend 3.1 to 8.6 miles. The facility would utilize two lane sections with paves shoulders and four-lane sections with paved shoulders and a graded or raised median. Certain four-lane sections would include curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and bikeways. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connector would enhance east-west mobility in the metropolitan area significantly and accommodate anticipated future development in the southeastern sector. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 167 acres of land, 28 residences, one business, up to seven farms, 16 acres of prime farmland, 31 acres of farmland of statewide importance, up to 0.8 acre of wetlands and one acre of floodplain, and 14.9 acres of forested land. The project would requirement alteration of 1,381 linear feet of stream. One historic property would be adversely impacted. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 11 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter one hazardous materials site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - GUARDIAN EXPANSION AND EXTENSION PROJECT, ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN (DOCKET NO. CP07-8-000, CP07-8-001, CP07-8-002).
AN  - 36347266; 12996
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Guardian Pipeline, LLC is proposed for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in Illinois and Wisconsin. The Energy Information Administration estimates that total energy consumption in the United States will increase from 100.2 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) per year in 2005 to 131.2 quadrillion Btu per year in 2030. To maintain pace economic and population development, the applicant anticipates that consumption of natural gas in the country will grow from 2.2 trillion cubic feet per year in 2005 to 26.1 trillion cubic feet by 2030. The applicant would construct and operate 83.9 miles of 30-inch natural gas pipeline in Jefferson, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Calumet, Brown, and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin; 31.3 miles of 20-inch pipeline in Brown and Outagamie counties; 1.4 miles of 16-inch pipeline in Brown County; two 20-inch branch lines extending 1.8 miles and 0.8 mile in Outagamie County; two new 39,000 horsepower electric motor driven compressor stations, including the Sycamore Compressor Station in Sycamore Township, DeKalb County, Illinois and the Bluff Creek Compressor Station in the town of LaGrange, Walworth County, Wisconsin; modifications to the existing Ixonia Meter Station in Jefferson County, Wisconsin; seven new meter stations in Dodge, Fond du Lac, Calumet, Brown, and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin; two new pig launcher facilities, including a 30-inch launcher within the applicant's existing Ixonia Meter Station; a 30-inch receiver and 20-inch diameter launcher within the proposed Fox Meter Station in Brown County, Wisconsin; a 20-inch receiver within the proposed West Green Bay Meter Station in Outagamie County, Wisconsin; and six new mainline valves, four of which would be placed along the 30-inch pipeline in Dodge, Fond du Lac , and Calumet counties, Wisconsin and two of which would be placed along the 20-inch pipeline in Brown and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin. Project construction would commence in the spring of 2008 and conclude in November 2008. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative energy sources, energy conservation, systems alternatives, route alternatives, route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline extension project would allow the applicant to provide 537,2000 decatherms per day of additional natural gas capacity to its existing pipeline system. The additional capacity would facilitate the transportation of natural gas to customers within the state of Wisconsin, providing those customers with the necessary infrastructure to support growth and competition within the natural gas marketplace. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the disturbance and displacement of soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, aquatic resources, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, and air quality and noise levels. Construction activities would result in short-term degradation of surface water flows as well as groundwater quality. However, since the proposed construction activities would largely result in temporary damages, most of the impacts on the abovementioned resources, including vegetation removal, disturbed soils, increased erosion potential and the associated stream sedimentation, and habitat alteration and other wildlife impacts would also be temporary. The most significant impacts would involve temporary damage to wetlands and long-term displacement of forested wetlands and upland forest. Forested wetlands would suffer from altered soils, hydrology, and vegetative cover. Several acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a 40-year incidental take permit (ITP) under the Endangered Species Act of 1968 and of a wetlands permit under Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 is proposed to allow for the development of a green-design planned town, to be known as CSI Development, in southern Lincoln County, Nevada. The ITP would cover the federally protected desert tortoise, banded Gila monster, and Western burrowing owl. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would provide for residential areas including single-family homes, residential villages, mixed-use villages, and various other types of residential villages; public buildings for community facilities and public services; commercial and light industrial development zones; hotel, resort, and casino development zones; nursery operations and sod farm areas; roads, bridges, heliports and other transportation infrastructure. Recreational facilities and open space areas, including golf courses, parks playing fields, and trails, would be provided. Conservation measures associated with the issuance of the ITP and the Section 404 permit would include measures to avoid wetlands, creation of wetland replacement areas, wildlife surveys, use of best management practices, installation of desert tortoise exclusion fencing, weed management, implementation of an adaptive management plan, and easements and/or wildlife management areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Issuance of the permits would allow for the development of an integrated self-contained community in southern Lincoln County, an area where housing and the related public and commercial amenities are in great demand. The wetland and other habitat enhancements tied to the permits would ensure adequate habitat for the affected federally protected species as well as other species in the area dependent on wetland or desert habitat. The development would add 32,300 jobs and $1.4 billion in annual employee compensation to the county economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the site under the preferred alternative would result in the loss of 21,096 acres of native vegetation and up to 244 acres of Bureau of Land Management utility corridor. Critical habitat for all the abovementioned federally protected species would be lost, though enough habitat would remain to sustain the populations in the area. Approximately 23.6 acres of U.S. jurisdictional wetlands would be displaced. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - BIG STONE II POWER PLANT AND TRANSMISSION PROJECT, GRANT COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF May 2006).
AN  - 36343853; 12986
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired electric power generating station, to be known as Big Stone II, in Grant County, South Dakota are proposed. Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) applied, on behalf of all project co-owners, to interconnect the project to the Western Area Power Administration's (Western) power transmission system at its Morris and Granite Falls substations. In addition to MRES, co-owners include Central Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, Great River Energy (GRE), Heartland Consumers Power District, Missouri River Energy Services, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., Otter Tail Power Company, Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, and Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. All co-owners are member of the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP). A 2005 MAPP load and capability study indicates that utilities within the region would suffer capacity deficits during 2011, which would grow to 2,500 MW by 2014. In addition to Western's cooperation, other federal actions related to the project include the consideration of loan financing for GRE from the Rural Utilities Service to finance the former's involvement in the project. The new plant would be located adjacent to the existing Big Stone plant, which lies eight miles northeast of Milbank and two miles northwest of Big Stone City. Existing Big Stone plant infrastructure, including the cooling water intake, pumping system and delivery pipelines, coal delivery and handling facilities, solid waste disposal facilities, and water storage ponds, would be used for the proposed Big Stone II plant. New construction would include the proposed plant, cooling tower blowdown pond, cooling tower, and make-up water storage pond. The new facility would use pulverized coal-fired, super-critical boiler technology and would burn low-sulfur coal mined in the Powder River Basin. A new wet flue gas desulfurization system would be employed to control sulfur dioxide emissions from both power plants. Substation modifications and associated transmission line extensions would be provided in South Dakota and Minnesota, in part to interconnect to the southwestern Minnesota utility grid. Two transmission alternatives have been identified. Alternative A would provide a 230-kilovolt (kV) line from Big Stone to Western's substation near Morris, Minnesota and a 230-kV line from Big Stone to Western's substation at Granite Falls, Minnesota. Alternative B would provide for a 230-kV line from Big Stone to a substation at Willmar, Minnesota and the Granite Falls substation. In addition to the proposed action and the alternatives, the draft EIS of May 2006 considered a No Action Alternative. This draft supplement to the draft EIS considers additional alternatives based on public comments received in response to the publication of the draft EIS with reference to wetland impacts and cost estimates for individual components f the proposed project. The new alternatives cover the plant cooling system, which, as currently planned, would use groundwater as the source of backup water supply. The new alternatives cover the plant water supply, cooling system, water usage, water treatment, and wastewater management. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered. Action alternatives include: 1) wet cooling using surface water as the backup waster supply; 2) wet cooling using groundwater as the backup water supply; 3) wet/dry cooling using groundwater as the backup water supply; and 4) dry cooling using groundwater as the backup water supply. Due to high capital costs, alternatives 1 and 4 have been eliminated from consideration. Alternative 2 has been selected as the revised proposed action. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new station unit and transmission facilities would help meet the additional regional power requirements of the seven co-owners, Mid-Continent Area Power Pool. Transmission line construction would employ 40 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 80 acres of soil and vegetation would disturbed during plant construction. Overall, plant components would disturb 612 acres, of which 414 would be permanently removed from agricultural use. Residual impacts would include the loss of 96.4 acres of wetlands, forest, and prairie vegetation and 532 acres of wildlife habitat, including habitat for special status species. The new plant would emit 4.7 million tons of carbon dioxide and, in combination with the existing plant, 22 tons of hazardous air pollutants per year. The new plant would consume 7,500 acre-feet of water from Big Stone Lake annually, potentially lowering the lake surface by one foot during one year out of 70 years of operation. Transmission line rights-of-way would also affect soils, including prime agricultural soils, and vegetation, including habitat for special status species.

T1  - BRAC 2005 AND TRANSFORMATION ACTIONS AT FORT BENNING, GEORGIA.
AN  - 36341787; 12980
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) Recommendations and related military transformation actions at Fort Benning, Georgia is proposed. The proposed transformation actions would include the BRAC Commission-recommended actions and Army Modular Force initiatives, through which the Army is transitioning from a division-centric design to a standard brigade organization as well as accommodating the reshaping of the domestic military infrastructure for the return of units currently based overseas as part of the Global Defense Posture and Realignment (GDPR). Finally, discretionary stationing actions would contribute to and become integrated with Army transformation processes. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. BRAC-directed stationing actions under the preferred action alternative (Alternative B) would include the relocation of the Armor School and Center from Fort Knox, Kentucky to Fort Benning; relocation of the 91st Regional Readiness Comment Equipment Concentration Site from Fort Gillem, Georgia to Fort Benning; closure of the Army Reserve Center (USARC) in Columbus, Georgia and relocation and consolidation of the units into the USARC at Fort Benning; and relocation of the Drill Sergeant School from Fort Benning to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. BRAC discretionary transformation actions would include relocation of the Criminal Investigation Command (CID) Military Police (MP) Detachment from Fort McPherson and the Third MP Group (brigade headquarters) from Fort Gillem, Georgia to Fort Benning; transfer of personnel currently assigned to the Veterinary Clinic at Fort McPherson's Veterinary Clinic to Fort Benning; relocation of the Blood Donor Center from Fort Knox to Fort Benning; and reassignment of field auditors from the Army Audit Agency field office at Fort McPherson to Fort Benning. With respect to GDPR transformation, the 286th MP (CID) would relocate from overseas to Fort Benning and join other CID units being relocated under BRAC discretionary recommendations. In addition, an Explosive Ordinance Disposal Company and a Movement Control Team would be moved to Fort Benning from overseas. Under Army Modular Force transition actions, one brigade from the Third Infantry Division would be transformed to create the Army's new heavy Brigade Combat Team force structure at Fort Benning. Finally, the Special Operations Command at Fort Benning would gain personnel from other locations across the United States. To adjust for these BRAC- and transformation-based actions, the cantonment area and range and training area would under significant development. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at Fort Belvoir Lee would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. Expansion of Fort Benning would inject expenditures and increase job rolls, significantly boosting the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternatives, approximately 19,100 acres would be disturbed. The loss and alteration of habitat, including wetlands and forested areas, would be significant and would affect special status species, particularly a population of relict trillium and red-cockaded woodpeckers, respectively, an endangered plant and an endangered animal. Unique ecosystem could be damaged during development and use of the new facilities. The influx of new personnel and of civilian workers attracted to the fort due to the expanded availability employment would place stress on the housing stock and public service infrastructure in the area. Traffic levels would increase significantly, resulting in a decline in the level of service at several locations within the transportation system. Ambient off-post noise levels would increase significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

T2  - MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR, SALT LAKE AND UTAH COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 756824975; 13592-080367_0019
AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles. Two freeway alternatives and one arterial Alternative Are considered in Utah County. Each roadway alternative in Utah County would be matched with any roadway alternative in Salt Lake County to provide a complete vehicular transportation system. In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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).

AN  - 756824956; 13592-080367_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles. Two freeway alternatives and one arterial Alternative Are considered in Utah County. Each roadway alternative in Utah County would be matched with any roadway alternative in Salt Lake County to provide a complete vehicular transportation system. In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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).

In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles. Two freeway alternatives and one arterial Alternative Are considered in Utah County.

AN  - 756824870; 13592-080367_0011
AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles. Two freeway alternatives and one arterial Alternative Are considered in Utah County. Each roadway alternative in Utah County would be matched with any roadway alternative in Salt Lake County to provide a complete vehicular transportation system. In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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).

Each roadway alternative in Utah County would be matched with any roadway alternative in Salt Lake County to provide a complete vehicular transportation system. In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles.

T1  - MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR, SALT LAKE AND UTAH COUNTIES, UTAH.
AN  - 16375053; 13592
AB  - PURPOSE: The provision of roadway and transit facilities within the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah is proposed. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2007 presents an appendix covering property displacement impacts of the proposed action. The corridor improvements would address transportation needs in western Salt Lake County south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Bangerter Highway and in northwestern Utah County west of I-15, south of the Salt Lake County line and north of Utah Lake. Western Salt Lake County and northwestern Utah County lack adequate north-south transportation capacity. Increased travel time in these areas has result in a loss of productivity. The area offers no rapid public transit options. Two roadway alternatives are considered for the Salt Lake County portion of the corridor, each of which could include a proposed transit facility along 5600 west. In Utah County, three alternatives are under consideration. All five action alternatives would involve the construction of a freeway segments. Under the dedicated rights-of-way transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, 24 miles of dedicated transit rights-of-way would be established in the center of the roadway cross-section; 16 transit stations would be located in the roadway median. Under the mixed-traffic transit option associated with the Salt Lake County alternative, transit vehicles would share the outside lanes of 5600 west with street traffic in each direction of travel. At station locations, transit vehicles would exit the shared lane to the right, then merge back into the shared lane after leaving the station; 25 stations would provide access to transit vehicles. Two freeway alternatives and one arterial Alternative Are considered in Utah County. Each roadway alternative in Utah County would be matched with any roadway alternative in Salt Lake County to provide a complete vehicular transportation system. In addition to the action alternatives, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by reducing roadway congestion and by supporting increased transit availability. Local growth objectives would be supported. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way for the Salt Lake County component of the project would displace 1,562 acres to 1,958 acres of land, including 22 to 30 acres of prime farmland, as well as 207 to 263 residences, land within two recreation areas, six to eight community facilities, portions of four to five existing and 50 to 56 proposed trails, and 7 to 30 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect six to 12 archaeological sites and five to 11 historic sites. The facility would traverse 19 streams and 43 to 49 hazardous waste sites. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 446 to 739 sensitive receptors. Rights-of-way for the Utah County component of the project would displace 709 acres to 899 acres of land, including 97 to 149 acres of prime farmland, as well as 32 to 138 residences, land within up to two recreation areas, up to one community facility, portions of one to four existing and six to 13 proposed trails, and 15 to 78 acres of wetlands. The alternative would affect three to seven archaeological sites and three to five historic sites. The facility would traverse 12 streams and four to six hazardous waste sites. The habitat of one federally protected orchid species would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards 134 to 226 sensitive receptors. 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft and draft supplemental EISs, see 07-0480D, Volume 31, Number 4 and 08-0067D, Volume 32, Number 1, respectively.

T1  - I-49 SOUTH, RACELAND TO THE WESTBANK EXPRESSWAY, ROUTE US 90, JEFFERSON, LAFORCHE, AND ST. CHARLES PARISHES, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 36341489; 12968
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 36.3 miles of Interstate 49 (I-49) along the US 90 corridor from the Louisiana 1 (LA 1)/LA 308 interchange at Bayou Lafourche near Raceland in Lafourche Parish to the existing portion of the elevated Westbank Expressway near Ames Boulevard in Jefferson, Lafourche, and St. Charles parishes, Louisiana is proposed. The project would also include extension of I-310 from its current alignment to an interchange with I-49, a distance of 2.3 miles. I-49 is intended to provide a transcontinental highway linking the coastal ports of Louisiana to the entire central United States and central Canada. In Louisiana, I-49 would connect I-10 in New Orleans with I-49 in Arkansas. I-49 is currently complete between Shreveport and Lafayette. I-49 South is the section between Lafayette and I-10 in new Orleans, which would follow the existing US 90 corridor. Six build alternatives that constitute the preferred alternative and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would provide four- to six-lane fully controlled access freeway segments for both proposed facilities, with frontage roads to allow for local access as appropriate. The project would include improvement of the crossing of Bayou Lafourche, a new crossing of Bayou Des Allemandes; interchanges at the intersection of LA 1/LA 308, LA 182, US 90, LA 635, the intersection of LA 3127/I-310, Willowdale Boulevard in Avondale, Laplace Boulevard, US 90/US 90 Business to Huey P. Long Bridge, Segnette Boulevard, Victory Drive, and Ames Boulevard. Improvements would be made at the intersections of US 90 with LA 3127 and LA 18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The I-49 project proposed would result in the improvement of vehicular access throughout the southern region of Louisiana and relieve congestion on I-10 between Lafayette and New Orleans. In addition to connecting the southern and northern parts of the state, the project would facilitate hurricane evacuation, increase the capacity of the corridor to accommodate traffic demand through 2030; and improve safety and efficiency by implementing higher road design standards. The economic potential of Louisiana would be enhanced through improved access to ports, airports, industrial areas, and tourist attractions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 15 residences, 12 businesses, all or part of 11 other properties, and 345 acres of prime or unique farmland. . All 13 residential takings in St. Charles Parish would occur in neighborhoods occupied by minority residents. Approximately 603.3 acres of wetlands would be affected, and the corridor would traverse the 100-year floodplain. Avoidance of levees would present a design problem and would result in significant modification of the otherwise optimal alignment. The project would traverse habitat for the federally protected bald eagle. Construction workers would encounter 79 sites containing hazardous wastes or hazardous materials. The facility would cross Bayou Des Allemandes, a state scenic stream, though special design features of the bridge would be implemented to make structure more visually pleasing.

T1  - STATE ROUTE 76, MELROSE TO SOUTH MISSION, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
AN  - 36343987; 12962
AB  - PURPOSE: The widening and realignment of State Route (SR) 76 from Melrose Drive in Oceanside to South Mission Road in Bonsall, all in northern San Diego County, California are proposed. The existing facility is being taxed due to increased population growth regionally, increased intra- and inter-regional and corridor traffic demand, and the development of land within the project area. The safety record of the facility has been in decline f or quite some time. Two alignment alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The alignment alternatives include widening of SR 76 on the existing alignment or widening the facility on an alignment south of the existing alignment. Both alternatives would provide a conventional four-lane highway with rights-of-way and grading to accommodate a future widening of the facility when justified. Both alignment alternatives are nearly identical between Melrose River and East Vista Way, but diverge to opposite sides of the San Luis Rey River as they progress east of East Vista Way. The preferred alternative has been identified as reconstruction of the facility on the existing alignment. This would avoid substantial adverse impacts to the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Course, including direct impacts to the clubhouse, as well a significant encroachments into the San Luis Rey River floodplain and associated wetlands, riparian vegetation, and riparian wildlife that would occur under the southern alignment alternative. Costs of the preferred alternative and the southern alignment alternative are estimated at $222 million and $259 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed improvement of SR 76 would increase the facility's capacity and enhance safety within the corridor and allow for the accommodation of future capacity expansion. Travel times and other aspects of level of service within the corridor would be maintained or improved. The new facility would be compatible with future transit and other modal options. The project would be consistent with the regional transportation plans. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 163 acres of rights-of-way for the preferred alternative would require relocation of three homes and eight businesses and the Bonsall Model Airplane Site as well as 12 acres of a planned park site. The project would displace 20.2 acres of southern cottonwood willow riparian forest, 0.9 acre of disturbed wetland, 6.28 acres of southern coast riparian forest, 0.31 acre of southern willow scrub, 1.1 acres of mulefat scrub, 0.56 acre of coastal and valley freshwater marsh, and 0.07 acre of emergent wetland. Construction activities would temporarily impact 14.9 acres of southern cottonwood willow riparian forest, 1.5 acres of disturbed wetlands, 0.78 acres of southern coast live riparian forest, 0.05 acre of southern willow scrub, 0.22 acre of coastal and valley freshwater marsh, and 0.19 of emergent wetlands. Permanent impacts would occur to 31.8 acres of jurisdictional waters of the states, while temporary impacts would affect 21.7 acres of jurisdictional waters. With respect to federally protected species, the project would impact three locations where arroyo toad breeding populations have been documented, 6.41 acres of California gnatcatcher, three or four pairs of leaf Bell's vireo , 19.7 acres of southwestern willow flycatcher critical habitat. Planned and existing trails would require relocation. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 13 sensitive noise receptors, and the visual aesthetics of the relatively rural area would be degraded significantly. 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).

T1  - US 127/SR 28 IMPROVEMENTS, FROM I-40 AT CROSSVILLE TO STATE ROUTE 62 AT CLARKRANGE, CUMBERLAND AND FENTRESS COUNTIES, TENNESSEE.
AN  - 36347340; 12958
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of a 14.1-mile section of US 127 (State Route (SR) 28) from Interstate 40 (I-40) in Crossville northward to the intersection of US 127 and SR 62 in Clarkrange, Cumberland and Fentress counties, Tennessee is proposed. US 127 is a major north-south arterial extending from the Georgia state line north through the eastern section of central Tennessee to the Kentucky state line. The study area lacks local and regional access to I-40. The existing US 127 roadway design exhibits numerous deficiencies and these efficiencies, along with capacity problems, have resulted in a high number of crashes along the highway within the study corridor. Recent increases in traffic volume has result in a significant decline in level of service, and traffic volumes are anticipated to increase at an even greater rate in the future. Problems moving persons and goods along the corridor has limited local and regional economic growth potentials. The proposed action would upgrade the highway within the study corridor to a four- and five-lane highway. The cross-section for the four-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with 12-foot outside shoulders, six-foot inside shoulders, and a 48-foot depressed median within a 250-foot rights-of-way. The typical section for the five-lane roadway would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 12-foot center turn lane, and 12-foot outside shoulders within a 200-foot rights-of-way. In addition to the proposed action, and three alignment options considered along with that alternative, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. Construction, rights-off-way acquisition, and utilities relocations costs under the preferred alternative are estimated at $108.3 million, $29.8 million, and $5.6 million, respectively. Cost of county maintenance of the existing road over a 12- to 15-year cycle, which represents the No Action Alternative, is estimated at $796,000. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve safety for vehicular travel and pedestrian movements, reduce travel delays for through traffic, enhance regional and local economic development opportunities, and improve transportation linkages in the Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 497 acres of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of 76 residences, nine businesses, and one community service facility, as well as 392 acres of farmland, including 87 acres of prime or unique farmland, 4.5 acres of ponds, 2,395 linear feet of perennial stream channel, 8,904 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, 2,957 linear feet of wet weather conveyances, one seep, one spring, and 7.9 acres of wetlands. A total of 29 farm parcels would be split, increasing the time and cost required to conduct agricultural operations on the affected land. The project could impact four archaeological sites that have been identified as potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The project would include the construction of a bridge across Clear Creek, which is federally designated habitat for the spotfin chub, a federally protected species. Construction workers would encounter 31 hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - NORTH SHORE ROAD, SWAIN AND GRAHAM COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 15227141; 12954
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of North Shore Road in Swain County, North Carolina is proposed. The project corridor includes a portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the record of decision for this EIS process will serve as a general management plan amendment for the park if an alternative that is inconsistent with the current park direction is adopted. In 1943, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of the Interior, the state of North Carolina, and Swain County entered into a memorandum of agreement that addressed the creation of Fontana Dam and Reservoir and the resultant flooding of lands and roads within the county. As part of the agreement, 44,170 acres of land were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and made part of the national park. The agreement contained a provision by which the state was to construct a road from Bryson City to the national park boundary, and the BLM was to construct a road through the park along the north shore of the newly formed Fontana Reservoir to replace the inundated NC 288. The state completed its obligation in 1959, but the BLM lacked funding to fulfill its road construction commitment. Between 1948 and 1970, the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, built 7.2 miles of the proposed road, leaving 30 miles unconstructed. During the early construction efforts, it was discovered that the alignment of the road would pass through unstable terrain, resulting in the possibility of landslides during and after construction and requiring more extensive engineering than originally anticipated. Additionally, during construction, a stratum subject to acid leaching was encountered. In October 2000, Congress appropriated $16 million for construction of, and improvements to, North Shore Road. Since then, environmental groups have contended that construction and use of the road would harm park resources; certain of these groups support a cash settlement in lieu of the road. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The alternatives include a No Action Alternative, the monetary settlement proposal; development of a Laurel Branch Picnic Area and associated access road; a partial-build alternative extending eight miles from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement; and one full-build alternative. Two road types are under consideration, including a paved principal park road and a gravel primitive park road. Estimated costs of the monetary settlement and Laurel Branch alternatives are $52 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The cost of partial-build alternative extending to Bushnell is estimated to range from $92.2 million to $148.6 million, with the low figure applying to the primitive park road design and the high figure applying to the principal park road design. The estimated costs of the full-build alternatives range from $344.9 million to $589.7 million, the figures representing the primitive and principal park road options, respectively. The National Park Service has chosen the monetary settlement alternative as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the road would allow families that lived along the north shore of the Little Tennessee River prior to its acquisition by the national park access to old home sites and family cemeteries. The road would also provide economic benefits to the county via increased tourist access. The monetary settlement alternative would retire all claims against federal agencies by the county and preclude all environmental damage resulting from road construction and reconstruction activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional traffic in the area would affect the pristine natural appearance of the corridor along the lake. Under the build alternatives, from eight to 906 acres would be reclassified from natural environment to a transportation subzone. Vegetation and wildlife habitat, including habitat for migratory birds and the federally protected bald eagle and Indiana bat, would be permanently displaced in the construction corridor. Six historic structures and several archaeological sites could be affected by construction activities and roadway use. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail would be affected. All build alternatives would encroach on the 100-year floodplain at major stream crossings. Approximately 69 acres of wetlands would lie within the corridor affected by the project, and lakes and streams would also suffer from increased runoff and the associated pollutants. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

T1  - The geomorphology and processes of land loss in the Pontchartrain Basin, southeast Louisiana; 1990-2001
AN  - 50550484; 2009-003001
AB  - The Pontchartrain Basin is a 12,173 km2 watershed in southeastern Louisiana that is losing land due to a complex suite of causes. Government agencies and the oil and gas industry have been targeted as the primary agents of coastal land loss; however the role of natural processes and the multiple causality of the coastal land loss problem have often been overlooked. The objective of this presentation is to present the results of a project sponsored by the Pontchartrain Restoration Program to map and quantify the geomorphology and processes of land loss in the Pontchartrain Basin for the time period 1990-2001. Results of the land loss classification indicate that between 1990 and 2001, 136.25km2 of land was converted to open water in the Pontchartrain Basin, which equals a land loss rate of 12.39km2/yr. The geomorphology of the loss was primarily shoreline loss, which accounted for 87.76%, leaving interior loss to account for 12.24%. The process driving the loss was primarily erosion, which accounted for 87.76% of the loss, followed by submergence, which accounted for 11.54% of the loss and direct removal, which accounted for only 0.70% of the loss. Three areas of concentrated land loss are visible within the basin and include: (1) where the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) intersects with the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) and the Intracoastal Waterway and along the perimeter of Lake Borgne, (2) just south of the Caernarvon Fresh Water Diversion near Lake Leary, and (3) at Baptiste Colette near the mouth of the river. The majority of the land loss occurring in area (1) is the result of erosional processes along both the Lake Borgne shoreline and along the shorelines of an extensive network of canals that were built in the area prior to 1990. The canals contribute to salt water intrusion, which intensifies erosion by causing the death of the native marsh plants exposing the soil to the erosive action of water. Both shoreline and interior land loss through the processes of erosion and submergence are occurring in area (2). This brackish habitat is rapidly disintegrating as the shorelines of ponds and lakes that formed prior to 1990 erode and new ponds emerge as the land surface subsides. The process of loss in area (3) is primarily erosion and the geomorphology of the loss is primarily shoreline loss along the edges of the marsh and channel.

T1  - Ordination of breeding birds in relation to environmental gradients in three southeastern United States floodplain forests
AN  - 20411970; 7620157
AB  - We used an ordination approach to identify factors important to the organization of breeding bird communities in three floodplains: Cache River, Arkansas (AR), Iatt Creek, Louisiana (LA), and the Coosawhatchie River, South Carolina (SC), USA. We used 5-min point counts to sample birds in each study area each spring from 1995 to 1998, and measured ground-surface elevations and a suite of other habitat variables to investigate bird distributions and community characteristics in relation to important environmental gradients. In both AR and SC, the average number of Neotropical migrant species detected was lowest in semipermanently flooded Nyssa aquatica Linnaeus habitats and greatest in the highest elevation floodplain zone. Melanerpes carolinus Linnaeus, Protonotaria citrea Boddaert, Quiscalus quiscula Linnaeus, and other species were more abundant in N. aquatica habitats, whereas Wilsonia citrina Boddaert, Oporornis formosus Wilson, Vireo griseus Boddaert, and others were more abundant in drier floodplain zones. In LA, there were no significant differences in community metrics or bird species abundances among forest types. Canonical correspondence analyses revealed that structural development of understory vegetation was the most important factor affecting bird distributions in all three study areas; however, potential causes of these structural gradients differed. In AR and SC, differences in habitat structure were related to the hydrologic gradient, as indexed by ground-surface elevation. In LA, structural variations were related mainly to the frequency of canopy gaps. Thus, bird communities in all three areas appeared to be organized primarily in response to repeated localized disturbance. Our results suggest that regular disturbance due to flooding plays an important role in structuring breeding bird communities in floodplains subject to prolonged inundation, whereas other agents of disturbance (e.g., canopy gaps) may be more important in headwater systems subject to only short-duration flooding. Management for avian community integrity in these systems should strive to maintain forest zonation and natural disturbance regimes.

T1  - Assessment of the Population Status of the Gray Bat (Myotis grisescens): Status Review, DoD Initiatives, and Results of a Multi-Agency Effort to Survey Wintering Populations at Major Hibernacula, 2005-2007
AN  - 20367772; 9047348
AB  - The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is a federally listed endangered species known to occur on several U.S. Army installations in the eastern United States. Seven Army installations and one Air Force base have documented gray bat populations, and these facilities have undertaken programs to protect roosting and foraging sites important to the species. This report reviews the status of the gray bat throughout its range and assesses the population status of gray bats at major hibernacula in Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Survey records obtained from state agencies showed that in recent years gray bat populations have increased significantly in most primary summer and winter caves. In 2005 the Army cooperated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other state and Federal agencies to undertake a range-wide survey of primary gray bat hibernacula. Hibernacula surveys were conducted from December 2005 - January 2007 in 11 caves considered to be critical wintering sites. Results of the survey showed stable to increasing population levels across the species' range. Additionally, a Department of Defense Legacy project was implemented to support conservation efforts to assist with recovery of the gray bat. The project funded improvements and protection of several cave sites in Tennessee and Kentucky, hibernacula surveys of selected caves, and summer surveys of maternity caves in Tennessee. The Army Threatened and Endangered Species Research Program also provided support for these tasks. The current range-wide population of the gray bat is estimated at approximately 3.4 million bats.

T1  - Corps Water Management System (CWMS) Decision Support Modeling and Integration Use in the June 2007 Texas Floods
AN  - 20008050; 8331582
AB  - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Corps Water Management System (CWMS) is a comprehensive data acquisition and hydrologic modeling system for short-term decision support of water control operations in real time. It encompasses data collection, validation and transformation, data storage, visualization, real time model simulation for decision-making support, and data dissemination. CWMS uses an Oracle database and Sun Solaris workstations for data processes, storage and the execution of models, with a client application (the Control and Visualization Interface, or CAVI) that can run on a Windows PC. CWMS was used by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to make hydrologic forecasts of flows on the Lower Colorado River and operate reservoirs during the June 2007 event in Texas. The LCRA receives real-time observed gridded spatial rainfall data from OneRain, Inc. that which is a result of adjusting NexRad rainfall data with precipitation gages. This data is used, along with future precipitation estimates, for hydrologic forecasting by the rainfall-runoff modeling program HEC-HMS. Forecasted flows from HEC-HMS and combined with observed flows and reservoir information to simulate LCRA's reservoir operations and help engineers make release decisions based on the results. The river hydraulics program, HEC-RAS, computes river stages and water surface profiles for the computed flow. An inundation boundary and depth map of water in the flood plain can be calculated from the HEC-RAS results using ArcInfo. By varying future precipitation and releases, engineers can evaluate different "What if?" scenarios. What was described as an "extraordinary cluster of thunderstorms" that stalled over Burnet and Llano counties in Texas on June 27, 2007, dropped 17 to 19 inches of rainfall over a 6-hour period. The storm was classified over a 500-year event and the resulting flow over some of the smaller tributaries as a 100-year or better. CWMS was used by LCRA for flood forecasting and reservoir operations. The models accurately forecasting the flows and allowed engineers to determine that only four floodgates needed to be opened for Mansfield dam, in the Chain of Highland lakes. CWMS also forecasted the peak of the flood well before it happened. Smaller rain storms continued for a period of weeks and CWMS was used throughout the event calculating lake levels, closing of gates along with a hydro-generation schedule.

The estuary encompasses 80 square miles of estuarine habitat on the southwestern coast of Florida in the vicinity of Fort Meyers. The Caloosahatchee River is at the head of a vast estuarine and marine ecosystem that includes aquatic preserves (Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve, Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve, Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve, Charlotte Harbor National Estuary, and the Caloosahatchee, Matacha Pass, and Ding Darling national wildlife refuges) along with numerous other federal, state, and local parks and recreation areas. Downstream areas within the estuary suffer from occasional excessive inflows of freshwater as well as less frequent drought conditions. The 10,500-acre project would address ecosystem restoration by reducing the number and severity of events where harmful amounts of freshwater from basin runoff and Lake Okeechobee releases are discharged into the estuary, as well as by maintaining a minimum flow of freshwater to the estuary during dry periods. The project would be part of a comprehensive plan for restoring the south Florida ecosystem, with particular respect to the Everglades. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The tentatively selected alternative (Alternative 3B) would provide for the creation and operation of a two-cell reservoir with normal full pool depths varying from 15 feet at the southeast corner to 25 feet at the northwest corner. Major features of the project would include external and internal embankments, canals, two pumping stations, and internal control and outflow water control structures. The reservoir would provide 170,000 acre-feet of aboveground storage. The reservoir would allow storage of excessive flows of freshwater into the estuary by storing such flows until drought conditions warrant a graduated release of the stored water. Initial cost of the project is estimated at $507.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By regulating the flow of fresh water to the estuary, the reservoir project would contribute to the restoration of the estuary by moderating unnatural changes in salinity that are extremely detrimental to estuarine communities. The reservoir would provide deepwater habitat within the impoundment cells, including refugia for fish and other aquatic organisms during extremely dry periods. Reservoir operations would also incidentally improve water quality in the estuary by storing nutrient-laden runoff and lake water in the reservoir, allowing for the settling of nutrients and other pollutants within the reservoir cells prior to delivery of water to the estuary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would displace existing citrus groves as well as 125 acres of low- to moderate-quality wetlands; the citrus groves are classified as prime farmland. Construction activities would result in temporary increases in turbidity along local surface flows, fugitive dust from vehicular traffic and excavation, disruption of soils, and short-term disturbance to local fish and wildlife populations.

T1  - IMPLEMENTATION OF BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE 2005 AND ENHANCED USE LEASE ACTIONS AT FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36350981; 12938
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission 2005 recommendations and enhanced use lease (EUL) actions at Fort George G. Meade, Anne Arundel County, Maryland is proposed. The 6,057-acre fort is a permanent U.S. Army installation located midway between Baltimore, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The installation supports more than 80 tenant organizations from all military services as well as several federal agencies. Major tenants include the National Security Agency, Defense Information School, 704th Military Intelligence Brigade, 902nd Military Intelligence Group, the Environmental Protection Agency's Science Center, the Asymmetric Warfare Group, and the First Army Division East. The Army transformation activities rely on the Integrated Global Presence Basing Strategy and Army Modular Force Initiatives, as well as BRAC recommendations. The BRAC Commission recommended that three major activities relocated to Fort Meade, namely the Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Media Activity, and Adjudication Activities co-location offices. The EUL action would involve leasing two parcels of land, encompassing a total of 173 acres, for 50 years to a private developer to construct administrative buildings for an estimated 10,000 personnel and providing a third 367-acre parcel for in-kind development of two 18-hole golf courses. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) includes the BRAC realignment proposal and the EUL actions. Alternative 3 would implement the BRAC realignment proposal but not the EUL actions. Implementation of the preferred alternative would involve an addition of 5,695 new personnel (660 military, 3,324 civilian, and 1,771 A-Es) at the fort and the construction of new facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at Fort Belvoir Lee would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Significant land use changes and facilities development, particularly the construction of the golf courses and administrative offices, would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and disturb soils and increase sedimentation in receiving surface waters, including Midway and Franklin branches, which lie within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stormwater quantity would increase, stormwater quality would decline, and drainage hydrology would be altered significantly. Visual aesthetics would change significantly, with large tracts of natural areas being converted into golf courses or buildings and associated facilities. The influx of thousands of personnel and their families would place significant stress on local public school and wastewater management systems and increase traffic congestion in the area significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

T1  - BLUE WATER BRIDGE PLAZA STUDY, ST. CLAIR COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
AN  - 36348659; 12931
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of the United States inspection plaza at the Blue Water Bridge in the city and town of Port Huron, St. Clair County, Michigan is proposed. The study corridor extends from the western end of the Blue Water bridge westward for 2.2 miles to the Interstate 94 (I-94)/I-69 interchange. The existing 18-acre Blue Water Bridge Plaza is elevated 24 feet above street level to accommodate Pine Grove Avenue, which runs beneath the facility Key issues identified during scoping include those related to effects of the project on the natural, human, and build environment include neighborhood and community cohesion, visual character, noise, air quality, and land use patterns. Practical alternatives include expanding the existing plaza and relocating major functions of the plaza approximately 1.5 miles from the existing facility, with a secured corridor connecting the existing plaza to the new portion of the plaza. Three specific practical action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. The City West Alternatives, which is the preferred alternative, would encompass a 131-acre tract to provide for an expanded plaza and improvements along the I-94/I-69 corridor, including a welcome center and 65-acre plaza. Pine Grove Avenue would be relocated to wrap around the south and west sides of the plaza. The block bounded by Tenth Avenue, Hancock Street, the Michigan 25 Connector, and the existing plaza for expanded inspection and plaza space. The project would include the reconstruction of the Black River Bridge to expand it from four to nine lanes and reconstruct the Water street Bridge. The Lapeer Connecter interchange would e expanded to include access in al directions. A new Michigan Department of Transportation Welcome Center would be constructed north of I-94/I-69 in Port Huron Township, replacing the existing center at Water Street. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facilities would accommodate plaza traffic growth through the year 2030; provide space for future plaza facility additions and new inspection technologies, reduce traffic backups on I-94/I/69, the Blue Water Bridge, and Highway 402 in Canada; improve safety on the Blue Water Bridge; and minimize impacts to plaza traffic on local roads. The new facilities could encourage commercial redevelopment of land north of Hancock Street. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of a significant portion of the neighborhood south of the existing plaza and 13 homes in the neighborhood northeast of the plaza; in all, 129 residences would be relocated. A church relocation and 30 business displacements would also be unavoidable. The E.C. Williams House, which is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, would be displaced as well. The inspection station and related facilities would lie with in a non-attainment area for airborne particulate matter. Traffic-generated noise would approach or exceed federal standards at 45 residences, four businesses, and at one park site. The facilities would lie within a 100-year floodplain. Construction workers would encounter some or all of the 20 hazardous waste sites that lie within the study area. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - U.S. 411 CONNECTOR, BARTOW COUNTY, GEORGIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1989).
AN  - 36341032; 12927
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of 6.7 miles of fully access controlled, four-lane highway, to be known as the US 411 Connector, in Bartow County, Georgia is proposed. The study corridor extends from the US 411/US 41 interchange on the west to the Interstate 75 (I-75) interchange on the east. In addition to a No Action Alternative and two transportation system management (TSM) alternatives, the draft supplemental EIS of September 2005, which supplemented the final EIS of 1989, considered four build alternatives. Alternative A would widen the existing facilities to six lanes and construction of a bypass of the existing State Route (SR) 61/US 41 interchange. Alternative AB would provide a new US 411 to I-75 connection by constructing a freeway along the existing SR 3/US 41 alignment with frontage roads for local access, construction of a bypass of the SR 61/US 41 interchange, and construction of a freeway along a new alignment east of SR 61/US 411 that would connect to I-75 at the existing SR 20/I-75 interchange. Alternative B would provide a new US 411/I-75 connection by constructing a freeway along a new alignment between the US 411/US 41 interchange and the SR 20/I-75 interchange. Alternative D, which is the preferred alternative, would provide a new US 411/I-75 connection by constructing a freeway along a new alignment between the US 411/US 41 interchange and SR 20 east of I-75, with a new interchange at I-75. In a decision with respect to a complaint filed on July 5, 1991, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that the EIS process had not adequately followed National Environmental Protection Act requirements and enjoined The Georgia Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administrations from approving or expending and federal funds on the project until an adequate EIS had been prepared. Specifically, the court noted that the EIS did not adequately compare and evaluate project alternatives. Since the court's decision, the US 411 Connector has been incorporated into the proposed Northern Arc project, a portion of the former Outer Perimeter project, eliminating the "independent utility" status of the US 411 project. In addition to the preferred alternative, this draft supplement considers 10 alignment alternatives, two TSM alternatives and a No-Build Alternative. The preferred alternative would extend US 411 east on a new location to the existing I-75/State Route (SR) 20 interchange beginning just to the west of the existing US 411/US 41 interchange. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connector would improve the linkage between the US 411/SR 20 corridor and the interstate system by providing a more direct connection between US 411 at its interchange with US 1/SR 3 west of Cartersville and I-75. A more direct connection to I-75 would be provided from Bartow County as well as Floyd County and westward into Alabama. Regional through traffic would be separated from local traffic along the existing connection (US 411.US 41 and SR 20), substantially improving the safety and convenience of local access and circulation by reducing congestion in the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 16 residential units and six businesses. In addition, the project would require seven to 36 acres of fill in the 100-year floodplains of three to five streams, displace 4.71 acres of wetlands, and requirement the realignment of 1,191 linear feet of stream channel. The Ledford House, which is considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would suffer an adverse effect due to the project. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Selective bed-load transport in Las Vegas Wash, a gravel-bed stream
AN  - 50464118; 2009-075477
AB  - Bed-load measurements collected at the Las Vegas Wash, a gravel-bed stream near Las Vegas, Nevada, were used to study selective transport of sand and gravel in uni-modal or weakly bi-modal river sediment. Measurements showed that size selectivity in a sediment mixture decreases as shear stress increases. Transport of variously sized sediment particles approaches equal mobility as the transported bed load is composed approximately of the same size particles as surface-bed material. Consequently, a hiding function was derived to account for the increase or reduction in reference shear stress for an individual size class in a sediment mixture as compared with that in an uniformly sized sediment. An empirical equation for determining fractional bed-load transport rate was then formulated by correlating the dimensionless, fractional bed-load transport rate with the dimensionless bed-shear stress. This equation indicated that the hiding function depends not only on the size of individual size class but also on the flow depth used to quantify the magnitude of shear stress. The present study contributes to the body of knowledge used in predicting selective transport of sediment mixtures in gravel-bed streams.

T1  - Pre-Construction Biogeochemical Analysis of Mercury in Wetlands Bordering the Hamilton Army Airfield (HAAF) Wetlands Restoration Site. Part 2
AN  - 21146264; 9047403
AB  - Over 90% of the coastal wetlands in San Francisco Bay have been lost since the industrial revolution. With funding from the Long Term Management Strategy team, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is working with the San Francisco Basin Regional Water Board, California State Coastal Conservancy, and San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission to reconstruct wetlands at the former Hamilton Army Airfield (HAAF) on San Pablo Bay. This 203-ha site will provide tidal habitat to endangered species such as the clapper rail and the saltmarsh harvest mouse. Because HAAF has subsided well below mean sea level, it will require 8.1 million cubic meters of material to elevate the site to the point where emergent marsh vegetation can become established. This is a critical process that will reestablish natural sediment trapping, marsh building, and physical dynamics. However, wetlands are generally considered a source of monomethylmercury (MeHg) production, and the association of mercury with gold mining legacies of the Bay Basin raises particular concerns. HAAF represents only 203 ha of the additional 26,325 ha of wetlands to be established around the bay between 2005 and 2055. Means to mitigate MeHg magnification in bay aquatic food webs are needed not only for HAAF but other SF Bay restoration sites as well. Those means are currently unknown. This interim technical report describes studies primarily performed in 2004 and 2005 and completed in the first half of 2006. Work during this period focused on (1) site-specific rates of methylation and demethylation, as well as characterizations of sedimentary microbial communities; (2) mercury dynamics in decomposing plant litter; (3) mercury dynamics in food webs; and (4) bioavailability of sediment-associated mercury of existing marsh sediments to macrobenthos. In addition, a newtime-integrative method for measuring and monitoring mercury cycle-related biogeochemical parameters in marshes was developed, and the role of marsh vegetation as a vector in mercury species transport was quantified.

T1  - Application of a Water Quality Model to Mississippi Sound to Evaluate Impacts of Freshwater Diversions
AN  - 21143523; 9047103
AB  - This report describes the development and application of a water quality model to the Mississippi Sound region to address the impacts of various freshwater diversion alternatives. The CH3D-Sigma (sigma level vertical coordinates) model code was the hydrodynamic model that was used to provide transport fluxes for the CE-QUAL-ICM water quality model. The model domain also included Mobile Bay, the Mississippi coastal bays, Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, Biloxi Marsh, and part of Breton Sound. The three-dimensional model had five sigma coordinate vertical layers. The model included 15 water quality variables including temperature, salinity, inorganic and total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, dissolved and particulate organic carbon, various forms of inorganic and organic nitrogen and phosphorus, phytoplankton bio-mass, chlorophyll a, and underwater light extinction. The model was calibrated for the period April through September 1998. Three diversions were simulated, diversion of freshwater flow from the Mississippi River at Bonnet Carre' spillway and into Lake Borgne near Violet, LA, and diversion of all of the Escatawpa River flow into Grand Bay. Summer average salinity was decreased along the western portions of Mississippi Sound by as much as 11 parts per thousand for the Bonnet Carre' diversion. For the Violet diversion, summer average salinity reductions were as great as 6 to 8 parts per thousand in western Mississippi Sound. The Escatawpa River diversion had little effect on Mississippi Sound. The Mississippi River diversion will also result in higher concentrations of nutrients, TSS, phytoplankton, and TOC, and greater light extinction, thus, less light reaching the bottom.

T1  - Quantitative Ice Accretion Information from the Automated Surface Observing System
AN  - 20651193; 9395074
AB  - Freezing precipitation is a persistent winter weather problem that costs the United States millions of dollars annually. Costs and infrastructure disruption may be greatly reduced by ice-storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), and by the development of climatologies that allow improved design of infrastructure elements. However, neither the NWS nor developers of climatologies have had direct measurements of ice-storm accumulations as a basis for issuing warnings and developing storm design standards. This paper describes the development of an aviation routine/special weather report (METAR/SPECI) remark that will report quantitative ice thickness at over 650 locations during ice storms using new algorithms developed for the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). Characteristics of the ASOS icing sensor, a field program to develop the algorithms, tests of accuracy, application of the algorithms, and sources of error are described, as is the implementation of an ice-thickness METAR/SPECI remark. The algorithms will potentially allow freezing precipitation events to be tracked with regard to ice accumulation in near-real time as they progress across the United States.

T1  - Reproductive Ecology of the American Horseshoe Crab Limulus poluphemus in the Indian River Lagoon: An Overview
AN  - 20555771; 7664104
AB  - Horseshoe crabs, Limulus polyphemus, typically inhabit estuaries with pronounced tides that influence the timing of reproduction. However, many of the cues known to mediate spawning and larval hatching are absent in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) since much of the area is microtidal. This review summarizes our recent studies of the reproductive ecology of L. polyphemus in the IRL that focused on the potential impact of microtidal conditions on the timing and frequency of mating, spawning, and larval hatching and abundance. Extensive surveys conducted throughout the northern region of the IRL indicated that spawning occurs year-round but is aperiodic. Throughout the sampling period, larval abundances were low, despite the fact that environmental conditions were suitable for their survival and development. Peaks in larval abundance were independent of spawning events but were linked to changes in water level. Laboratory experiments indicated that conditions associated with periods of high water, including inundation and mechanical agitation, may facilitate hatching, resulting in short-term peaks in larval abundance. In general, the reproductive ecology of L. polyphemus in the IRL differs markedly from populations in tidal areas. However, results indicate that spawning and larval hatching are cued by environmental conditions that are similar to those associated with tidal changes.

T1  - Amended Ballistic Sand Studies to Provide Low Maintenance Lead Containment at Active Small Arms Firing Range Systems
AN  - 20367069; 9047550
AB  - Live-fire training results in the deposition of heavy metals, such as lead and copper, into berm soils. The metals range in size from whole projectiles to microscopic dust. Surface water runoff and leachate have the potential to transport metals off-site. The Passive Reactive Berm (PRBerm) technology incorporates berm amendments with ballistic sand to immobilize soluble metals (e.g., lead) during the inevitable bullet corrosion process. Treatability studies determined that a sand to amendment ratio of 5 percent (w/w) was sufficient to contain greater than 90 percent of soluble lead within the berm material. Lysimeter studies used regulated artificial rain events to evaluate the metals concentrations, total suspended solids, dissolved organic carbon, and runoff and leachate pH over time for the amended and sand-only (control) berms. The Buffer Block #5 and SulfiTech A/T maintained average leachate lead and copper concentrations below the selected study limit of 0.150 mg/L and 0.500 mg/L, respectively, maintained a pH between 6 and 9, and maintained a dissolved organic carbon level at less than 50 mg/L for the leachate and runoff waters. Lysimeter studies indicate that amendment biological activity and pH affects the use of certain amendments within the PRBerm. The benefits of the PRBerm when compared to the traditional earthen berm, or a fully-contained bullet trap, include reduced metals migration, and reduced construction and operation costs.

T1  - Root Zone Microbial Communities and Restoration of Plant Communities in Owens Valley, California -- Phase I
AN  - 20366836; 9046975
AB  - The future quality and quantity of water for Los Angeles, CA, depends on effective environmental management of both water and land use in Owens Valley. Long-term environmental monitoring will be used to assess progress towards attaining sustainable restoration goals. Reestab-lishment of native plant communities on previously cultivated lands is a major land management goal. Establishment of desired plant communities may, in turn, depend on relationships between soil microorganisms and plants. These interrelationships depend on soil characteristics affecting the microbial communities. This study was designed to provide survey information on microbial communities in soils from native and disturbed areas at ten locations spanning Owens Valley. At each location, five surface soil samples were collected along a 150-m transect through native vegetation, and ten soil samples were collected along a 300-m transect through disturbed areas. Soils were characterized by soil texture, total carbon, total nitrogen, organic carbon, organic nitrogen, leachable carbon, leachable nitrogen, carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios, microbial community bio-mass, and lipid profiles of soil microbial community compositions. Analysis of variance, Tukey's test for comparing multiple means, hierarchical cluster analysis, and principal component analysis were used to show differences in soil characteristics. While native and disturbed soil samples were shown to differ in many characteristics, the largest and most frequently shown differences were related to the soil microbial communities. Total soil microbial biomass was significantly and consistently higher in native soils than soils from disturbed areas. Large and significant quantitative differences were also seen in the sterol content of soils supporting native plant and those of disturbed areas. The level of fungal sterol ergos-terol was consistently and significantly higher in soils supporting native vegetation than in soils from disturbed areas, indicating mycorrhizae as potentially important plant symbionts. The presence of phytosterols and other unidentified sterols was also higher in the native plant soils. In conclusion, soils supporting native plant communities were most different from those in disturbed areas in characteristics related to soil microbiology.

T1  - Evaluation of Lime and Persulfate Treatment for Mixed Contaminant Soil from Plum Brook Ordnance Works (Sandusky, OH)
AN  - 20366209; 9047616
AB  - The former Plum Brook Ordnance Works in Sandusky, OH, manufactured explosives from 1941 to 1945. The Reservoir No. 2 Burning Ground has soil contaminated with explosives, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4-/2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT), a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), Araclor 1260, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly benzo(a)pyrene, and lead. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory (EL) investigated a series of chemical based treatments to address this complex matrix. Lime treatment was tested to treat the explosives. Advanced oxidation (persulfate treatment and Fenton's reagent) was studied for treatment of PCBs and PAHs. Phosphate treatment was investigated for stabilizing lead. Lime treatment degraded 98 percent of TNT, 75 percent of DNT, and 80 percent of PCBs. There was minimal removal of PAHs (41 percent). Similar removal levels were found for persulfate treatment and lime followed by persulfate. Lower destruction rates of explosives were obtained by a single Fenton's reagent treatment, probably due to rapidity of the reaction. Loss percentages were roughly the same for highly contaminated soils (burn layer) and less contaminated soil (west surface soil). Treatments of the most contaminated soil (burn layer soils) did not meet Preliminary Remediation Goals for explosives or PCBs. Phosphate treatment was effective at stabilizing the lead in the soil, reducing lead toxicity characteristic leaching procedure concentrations below 5 mg/L.

T1  - Candidate Herbaceous Plants for Phytoremediation of Energetics on Ranges
AN  - 20364245; 9047330
AB  - This report identifies rapidly colonizing and resilient grasses/forbs that are tolerant to range-relevant contaminants, with emphasis on TNT and RDX. A literature review identified herbaceous plant species with characteristics that make them potential candidates for use on ranges for phytostabilization and phytoextraction purposes. The review was limited to native and introduced grass and forb species, and species with improved genetic characteristics that have successfully been used on training lands in North America. The eight criteria used to select plant species for short-term screening experiments included: (1) tolerance towards energetics, (2) resilience-related life cycle characteristics and plant traits, (3) typical biogeographic distribution, (4) seed size, (5) availability of propagules, (6) photosynthetic pathway, (7) exceptional traits, and (8) other. Plant species reviewed included 64 grasses and 61 forbs. Based on initial review, eight grasses and eight forbs were selected for tolerance testing. Short-term screening experiments were conducted to evaluate the phytotoxicity of TNT- and RDX-spiked artificial soils to the plants. Seeds were exposed in the laboratory and germination was used as a parameter for plant response. Based on results of this experiment, five grasses and five forbs were identified as rapidly colonizing and short-term tolerant towards TNT- and RDX-contamination of soils.

T1  - Subsampling Variance for 2,4-DNT in Firing Point Soils
AN  - 20281211; 8883123
AB  - At 105-mm howitzer firing points, 2,4-DNT is detectable in the surface soils, but field sampling and laboratory subsampling uncertainty can be large during quantitation. The 2,4-DNT is in particulate form, within fibers or slivers of the nitrocellulose-based propellant. The slender fibers range up to 7.5 mm in length with masses of several 100 is a subset of g. Size fractionation of a firing point soil revealed that most of the 2,4-DNT was in the 0.595- to 2.00-mm size range, although the bulk of the soil was less than 0.6 mm prior to grinding. Machine grinding for five minutes was needed to pulverize the propellant fibers sufficiently so that estimates of 2,4-DNT were reproducible in replicate analytical subsamples. To determine 2,4-DNT, we have adopted the practice of grinding firing point soils for five one-minute intervals, with time for heat dissipation between grinds, prior to obtaining individual or replicate 10-g subsamples.

T1  - WINDY GAP FIRMING PROJECT, GRAND COUNTY, COLORADO. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - WINDY GAP FIRMING PROJECT, GRAND COUNTY, COLORADO.
AN  - 873125552; 13558-3_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water storage reservoir, to be incorporated into the existing Windy Gap Project (WGP), in Grand County, Colorado is proposed to provide more reliable water deliveries to Front Range and West Slope communities and industrial users. Existing Windy Gap facilities, which were completed in 1985, fall short of the firm yield of water originally anticipated due to limitations and constraints in the existing system. In dry years, the WGP has not been able to divert water due to more senior rights upstream and downstream holding higher priorities to divert water. In addition, the WGP is required to bypass water to maintain certain minimum streamflows downstream of the WGP diversion dam. Granby Reservoir, a component of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (C-BT), is currently the only storage facility available for WGP participants. Water conveyed and stored for the C-BT Project has priority over water conveyed and stored for the WGP. Hence, in whet years, which the V-BT system is full, there is no conveyance storage capacity for the WGP, preventing the latter from storing water in wet years for use in subsequent dry years. Dry and wet year conditions result in a WGP firm yield of zero. Under the desired condition, 30,000 acre-feet of additional firm annual yield would be added to reservoir storage capacity, along with ancillary facilities capable of supporting delivery of that water. Project implementation would require approval from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for additional physical connections to C-BT facilities. Proposal participants include municipalities, rural domestic water districts, an industrial water users. More specifically, The proposed action, to be known as the Windy Gap Firming Project (WGFP), consists of a collaborative effort of 14 water providers and users facilitated by the Municipal Subdistrict of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. In 2005, WGFP participants had a firm water supply of 141,000 acre-feet and a demand of 120,000 acre-feet. Water demand for East Slope participants is project to increase to 251,00 acre-feet by 2050. The proposed project and four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The project would involve the creation of an impoundment, known as the Chimney Hollow Reservoir, with a capacity of 90,000 acre-feet. Water would be conveyed to the reservoir via a new pipeline connection to existing East Slope C-BT facilities. New connections between the reservoir and Carter Lake would allow delivery of water to project participants using existing infrastructure. Prepositioning would involve the use of available Adams Tunnel capacity to delivery C-BT water to Chimney Hollow Reservoir to occupy storage space that is not occupied by Windy Gap water. The delivery of C-BT water from Granby Reservoir to Chimney Hollow Reservoir would create space for Windy Gap water in Granby Reservoir. When Windy Gap water was diverted into Granby Reservoir, the C-BT water in Chimney Hollow Reservoir would be exchanged for a like amount of Windy Gap water in Granby Reservoir. Total allowable C-BT storage would not change and the existing C-BT diversions would not be expanded. The other three action alternatives would involve creation of one of three other candidate reservoirs, ranging in capacity from 30,000 acre-feet to 70,000 acre feet. Cost of the proposed action is estimated at $223.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The WGFP, in the form of the Chimney Hollow Reservoir, would increase yield over that of the existing project to provide a portion of their existing and future water demands . Beneficial streamflow would increase from the discharge of Windy Gap return flows to the Big Thompson River, St. Vrain Creek, Big Dry Creek, and Coal Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Annual Colorado River flows below Granby Reservoir, Windy Gap, and Kremmling would decline by nearly 10,000 acre-feet, 13,000 acre-feet, and 13,000 acre-feet, respectively. The potential for flooding along East Slope streams below the participants wastewater treatment plant would increase slightly. Pollutants delivered to the Colorado River would increase somewhat, but the river would experience no change in trophic status. The overall extent and frequency of occurrence of fish habitat along the Colorado River would decline, and the potential for exceedance of water temperature standards would increase. The reservoir would inundate 2.9 acres of wetlands and 810 acres of elk and mule deer winter range and black bear foraging habitat. The project would also require acquisition in fee or via easements of private lands and the relocation of utilities. Four residences would be displaced. In the long-term, Colorado River depletions would affect recreational uses of the river. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Reclamation Reform Act of 1986.

T1  - CARRYOVER STORAGE AND SAN VINCENTE DAM RAISE PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36407127; 13376
AB  - PURPOSE: The raising of the San Vicente Dam in San Diego County, California is proposed by the San Diego County Water Authority to increase emergency water storage for the region as part of its Emergency Storage Project (ESP). The authority is considering an additional dam raise to provide 100,000 acre-feet of carryover storage for the region as part of its Carryover Storage and San Vicente Dam Raise Project (CSP). The existing 220-foot-high concrete gravity dam, which allows for a reservoir storage capacity of 90,063 acre-feet, would be raised by as much as 117 feet using roller compacted concrete under both the ESP and CSP dam raises, expanding the usable reservoir volume by up to 152,100 acre-feet to provide both ESP and CSP storage. As it would be neither feasible nor practical to construct two separate raises of the dam due to issues such as cost, safety of the raised structure, and construction logistics, the two increases would be combined and constructed simultaneously. Raising the dam as proposed would provide for a full dam height of 337 feet and a reservoir capacity of 246,994 acre feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the creation of a new 384-foot-high dam providing for a 100,000-acre-foot reservoir at Moosa Canyon in northern San Diego County near Valley Center, and a lesser raise of the San Vicente Dam to provide an additional 50,000 acre-feet of carryover storage capacity as well as provision of a new reservoir at Moosa Canyon with a storage capacity of 50,000 acre-feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The increased reservoir capacity under the proposed action would substantially increase the reliability and flexibility of the regional water supply by providing facilities to accumulate and store water by the year 2011. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed raising of the San Vicente Dam would require the relocations of existing recreational facilities to be inundated, and increased visitation following enlargement of the reservoir would increase pressure on the new facilities. Recreational facilities associated with the reservoir would be unusable during the five- to nine-year project development period. The enlarged reservoir would also inundate 46 acres of farmland, 251 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation, 23 acres of wetlands, and the habitat of five federally protected species of plants and wildlife. Construction air emissions would exceed federal standards for numerous criteria pollutants, and construction-related noise emissions would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of numerous sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0411D, Volume 31, Number 3.

Raising the dam as proposed would provide for a full dam height of 337 feet and a reservoir capacity of 246,994 acre feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the creation of a new 384-foot-high dam providing for a 100,000-acre-foot reservoir at Moosa Canyon in northern San Diego County near Valley Center, and a lesser raise of the San Vicente Dam to provide an additional 50,000 acre-feet of carryover storage capacity as well as provision of a new reservoir at Moosa Canyon with a storage capacity of 50,000 acre-feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The increased reservoir capacity under the proposed action would substantially increase the reliability and flexibility of the regional water supply by providing facilities to accumulate and store water by the year 2011. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed raising of the San Vicente Dam would require the relocations of existing recreational facilities to be inundated, and increased visitation following enlargement of the reservoir would increase pressure on the new facilities. Recreational facilities associated with the reservoir would be unusable during the five- to nine-year project development period. The enlarged reservoir would also inundate 46 acres of farmland, 251 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation, 23 acres of wetlands, and the habitat of five federally protected species of plants and wildlife. Construction air emissions would exceed federal standards for numerous criteria pollutants, and construction-related noise emissions would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of numerous sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0411D, Volume 31, Number 3.

T1  - CARRYOVER STORAGE AND SAN VINCENTE DAM RAISE PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 9 of 15]
T2  - CARRYOVER STORAGE AND SAN VINCENTE DAM RAISE PROJECT, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36379686; 13376-080142_0009
AB  - PURPOSE: The raising of the San Vicente Dam in San Diego County, California is proposed by the San Diego County Water Authority to increase emergency water storage for the region as part of its Emergency Storage Project (ESP). The authority is considering an additional dam raise to provide 100,000 acre-feet of carryover storage for the region as part of its Carryover Storage and San Vicente Dam Raise Project (CSP). The existing 220-foot-high concrete gravity dam, which allows for a reservoir storage capacity of 90,063 acre-feet, would be raised by as much as 117 feet using roller compacted concrete under both the ESP and CSP dam raises, expanding the usable reservoir volume by up to 152,100 acre-feet to provide both ESP and CSP storage. As it would be neither feasible nor practical to construct two separate raises of the dam due to issues such as cost, safety of the raised structure, and construction logistics, the two increases would be combined and constructed simultaneously. Raising the dam as proposed would provide for a full dam height of 337 feet and a reservoir capacity of 246,994 acre feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the creation of a new 384-foot-high dam providing for a 100,000-acre-foot reservoir at Moosa Canyon in northern San Diego County near Valley Center, and a lesser raise of the San Vicente Dam to provide an additional 50,000 acre-feet of carryover storage capacity as well as provision of a new reservoir at Moosa Canyon with a storage capacity of 50,000 acre-feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The increased reservoir capacity under the proposed action would substantially increase the reliability and flexibility of the regional water supply by providing facilities to accumulate and store water by the year 2011. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed raising of the San Vicente Dam would require the relocations of existing recreational facilities to be inundated, and increased visitation following enlargement of the reservoir would increase pressure on the new facilities. Recreational facilities associated with the reservoir would be unusable during the five- to nine-year project development period. The enlarged reservoir would also inundate 46 acres of farmland, 251 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation, 23 acres of wetlands, and the habitat of five federally protected species of plants and wildlife. Construction air emissions would exceed federal standards for numerous criteria pollutants, and construction-related noise emissions would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of numerous sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0411D, Volume 31, Number 3.

The existing 220-foot-high concrete gravity dam, which allows for a reservoir storage capacity of 90,063 acre-feet, would be raised by as much as 117 feet using roller compacted concrete under both the ESP and CSP dam raises, expanding the usable reservoir volume by up to 152,100 acre-feet to provide both ESP and CSP storage. As it would be neither feasible nor practical to construct two separate raises of the dam due to issues such as cost, safety of the raised structure, and construction logistics, the two increases would be combined and constructed simultaneously. Raising the dam as proposed would provide for a full dam height of 337 feet and a reservoir capacity of 246,994 acre feet. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the creation of a new 384-foot-high dam providing for a 100,000-acre-foot reservoir at Moosa Canyon inn northern San Diego County near Valley Center, and a lesser raise of the San Vicente Dam to provide an additional 50,000 acre-feet of carryover storage capacity as well as provision of a new reservoir at Moosa Canyon with a storage capacity of 50,000 acre-feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The increased reservoir capacity under the proposed action would substantially increase the reliability and flexibility of the regional water supply by providing facilities to accumulate and store water by the year 2011. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed raising of the San Vicente Dam would require the relocations of existing recreational facilities to be inundated, and increased visitation following enlargement of the reservoir would increase pressure on the new facilities. Recreational facilities associated with the reservoir would be unusable during the five- to nine-year project development period. The enlarged reservoir would also inundate 46 acres of farmland, 251 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation, 23 acres of wetlands, and the habitat of five federally protected species of plants and wildlife. Construction air emissions would exceed federal standards for numerous criteria pollutants, and construction-related noise emissions would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of numerous sensitive receptor sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - A spatial analysis of cumulative habitat loss in Southern California under the Clean Water Act Section 404 Program
AN  - 20329858; 7541840
AB  - Habitat loss is the leading cause of biodiversity reduction in the world today, with wetlands having experienced especially large losses in the United States and elsewhere. Using remote sensing and GIS techniques, this study quantified cumulative habitat loss in two Southern California watersheds associated with Clean Water Act Section 404 permits, primarily for developments, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1984 to 2002. While the majority of habitat loss occurred outside of explicitly 404-authorized developments, non-explicitly authorized development represented a substantial fraction of observed habitat loss. The spatial distribution of habitat loss and 404 permits were analyzed statistically. In almost all cases, percent habitat loss was significantly correlated with variables representing 404 authorizations. These correlations may indicate the presence of incidental authorizations, suggesting that 404 authorizations within the study area may have indirectly facilitated nearby development (i.e., growth-inducing impacts). This study expanded the use of remote sensing, GIS, and spatial statistics for the purpose of regulatory-driven cumulative impact assessment. Until resource agencies quantify cumulative impacts in a spatially explicit manner and analyze those data statistically, there can be little rigorous scientific basis for formulating regulatory or policy decisions regarding cumulative impacts.

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi is proposed. The facilities to be put in place and operated by the applicant, Southeast Supply Header, LLC, would include 270 miles of pipeline and associated ancillary facilities capable of transporting up to 1.14 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. More specifically, the facilities would include 104 miles of 42-inch pipeline extending southeastward from Richland Parish, Louisiana to Lawrence County, Mississippi; 165 miles of 36-inch pipeline extending southeasterly from Lawrence County to Mobile County, Alabama; 1.7 miles of six-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 42-inch laterals in Jefferson Davis, Covington, and Forrest counties, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama; three new compressor stations, one each in Richland Parish Louisiana and Jefferson Davis and George counties, Mississippi; two booster stations, one each in Covington and Forest counties, Mississippi; and other ancillary facilities, including 13 meter and regulator installations, 18 mainline valves, two tap valves, and three pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. If approved, the project would commence implementation in November 2007. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, aboveground facilities site alternatives, pipeline route alternatives and route variations, and deviations from the existing rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline facilities would provide new gas transportation capacity that would significantly enhance access to reliable onshore gas supplies to serve growing demand in the southeastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect soils, groundwater, surface water, wetlands, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and ambient air quality and noise levels. The primary impacts would be related to wetlands, waterbodies, land use, and special interest areas. The pipeline would traverse more than 650 surface waterbodies. All but 31 of the crossings would be undertaken using conventional open-cut construction techniques; the remaining crossings would be made using horizontal directional drilling methods. Waterbodies to be crossed include nine major navigable streams, seven National Rivers Inventory-listed streams, five rivers and streams likely to contain habitat for federally protected species, and 10 impaired waterbodies. The pipeline would also traverse 267 wetlands, disturbing 238.8 acres and affecting special status wetlands in some cases. Approximately 102.8 acres of forested wetlands would be cleared during construction, resulting into their conversion into emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands. The project would cross recreational and special interest areas, including Conservation Reserve Program lands, a Nature Conservancy wetland mitigation site known as the Natchez Trace Parkway, Highway 90 (Old Spanish Trail), and lands administered by the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.)

The pipeline would also traverse 267 wetlands, disturbing 238.8 acres and affecting special status wetlands in some cases. Approximately 102.8 acres of forested wetlands would be cleared during construction, resulting into their conversion into emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands. The project would cross recreational and special interest areas, including Conservation Reserve Program lands, a Nature Conservancy wetland mitigation site known as the Natchez Trace Parkway, Highway 90 (Old Spanish Trail), and lands administered by the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi is proposed. The facilities to be put in place and operated by the applicant, Southeast Supply Header, LLC, would include 270 miles of pipeline and associated ancillary facilities capable of transporting up to 1.14 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. More specifically, the facilities would include 104 miles of 42-inch pipeline extending southeastward from Richland Parish, Louisiana to Lawrence County, Mississippi; 165 miles of 36-inch pipeline extending southeasterly from Lawrence County to Mobile County, Alabama; 1.7 miles of six-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 42-inch laterals in Jefferson Davis, Covington, and Forrest counties, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama; three new compressor stations, one each in Richland Parish Louisiana and Jefferson Davis and George counties, Mississippi; two booster stations, one each in Covington and Forest counties, Mississippi; and other ancillary facilities, including 13 meter and regulator installations, 18 mainline valves, two tap valves, and three pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. If approved, the project would commence implementation in November 2007. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, aboveground facilities site alternatives, pipeline route alternatives and route variations, and deviations from the existing rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline facilities would provide new gas transportation capacity that would significantly enhance access to reliable onshore gas supplies to serve growing demand in the southeastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect soils, groundwater, surface water, wetlands, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and ambient air quality and noise levels. The primary impacts would be related to wetlands, waterbodies, land use, and special interest areas. The pipeline would traverse more than 650 surface waterbodies. All but 31 of the crossings would be undertaken using conventional open-cut construction techniques; the remaining crossings would be made using horizontal directional drilling methods. Waterbodies to be crossed include nine major navigable streams, seven National Rivers Inventory-listed streams, five rivers and streams likely to contain habitat for federally protected species, and 10 impaired waterbodies.

T2  - CALHOUN LNG TERMINAL AND PIPELINE PROJECT, CALHOUN COUNTY, TEXAS (DOCKET NOS. CP05-91-000 AND CP05-380-000).
AN  - 756824929; 12890-070347_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an LNG import terminal, including an LNG ship berth and unloading facilities, on the southeastern shoreline of Lavaca Bay, south of Point Comfort, in Calhoun County, Texas is proposed by Point Comfort Pipeline Company. More specifically, the proposed facilities would include a new marine terminal along Lavaca Bay that would include one berth to unload up to 120 LNG ships per year; two single containment LNG storage tanks, each having a normal working volume of 1.0 million barrels; and LNG vaporization and processing equipment. The Calhoun County Navigation District (CCND) is developing plans to augment the existing harbor by dredging a new turning basin at the confluence of the Port Comfort Channel and the Alcoa Industrial Chanel located north and west of the LNG terminal site. This augmentation would encompass construction of Calhoun Point Comfort's new ship berth as well as the CCND's new turning basin and require dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards of material from Lavaca Bay. This activity would be essential to the operation of the Calhoun LNG facilities as Calhoun Point Comfort would use the CCND's turning basin to maneuver its LNG ships. To allow for transport of the imported LNG, the applicant would construct 27.1 miles of 36-inch gas pipeline; 0.25-mile of eight-inch lateral pipeline leading to Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and 0.25-mile of 16-inch lateral leading to the Transco meter station; 10 delivery points/interconnects, including two delivery points with Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation and eight interconnect points for nine pipeline interconnections with existing natural gas pipeline systems; and a pig launcher facility and mainline valve (MLV) at the LNG terminal, an MLV near the middle of the pipeline, and a pig receiver facility and MLV at the northern pipeline terminus. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative LNG terminal sites, and alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide facilities necessary to import, store, and vaporize an average of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day of liquefied natural gas to provide a competitive supply of natural gas to local industrial customers, such as Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation, and other energy-consuming customers in Texas, and deliver natural gas to existing interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines near Edna, Texas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The LNG project would affect 568.9 acres of land and water. Construction of the LNG terminal would affect 73 acres of land and 79.3 acres of Lavaca Bay for the CCND's turning basin and Calhoun Point Comfort's ship berth. The pipeline would traverse mostly open land, including rangeland and farmland, following existing transportation easements and rights-of-way. Pipeline installation would disturb 416.6 acres of land, including 23.8 acres of wetlands, though operation of the new facilities would require only 97.7 acres. Four operational oil and gas wells would lie within 150 feet of the pipeline rights-of-way. Dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards from the bay would result in destruction of benthos and short-term turbidity in the water column. Project facilities would lie within essential fish habitat for three species. An additional 120 LNG ships would navigate the Matagorda Ship and Port Comfort channels, resulting in increased congestion, an increased risk of ship-to-ship collisions, and some disruption of recreational boating in the area. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 10173, Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (47 U.S.C. 701), and Ports and Waterways Safety Act of 2002 (33 U.S.C. 1221 et seq.).

More specifically, the proposed facilities would include a new marine terminal along Lavaca Bay that would include one berth to unload up to 120 LNG ships per year; two single containment LNG storage tanks, each having a normal working volume of 1.0 million barrels; and LNG vaporization and processing equipment. The Calhoun County Navigation District (CCND) is developing plans to augment the existing harbor by dredging a new turning basin at the confluence of the Port Comfort Channel and the Alcoa Industrial Chanel located north and west of the LNG terminal site. This augmentation would encompass construction of Calhoun Point Comfort's new ship berth as well as the CCND's new turning basin and require dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards of material from Lavaca Bay. This activity would be essential to the operation of the Calhoun LNG facilities as Calhoun Point Comfort would use the CCND's turning basin to maneuver its LNG ships. To allow for transport of the imported LNG, the applicant would construct 27.1 miles of 36-inch gas pipeline; 0.25-mile of eight-inch lateral pipeline leading to Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and 0.25-mile of 16-inch lateral leading to the Transco meter station; 10 delivery points/interconnects, including two delivery points with Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation and eight interconnect points for nine pipeline interconnections with existing natural gas pipeline systems; and a pig launcher facility and mainline valve (MLV) at the LNG terminal, an MLV near the middle of the pipeline, and a pig receiver facility and MLV at the northern pipeline terminus. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative LNG terminal sites, and alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide facilities necessary to import, store, and vaporize an average of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day of liquefied natural gas to provide a competitive supply of natural gas to local industrial customers, such as Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation, and other energy-consuming customers in Texas, and deliver natural gas to existing interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines near Edna, Texas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The LNG project would affect 568.9 acres of land and water. Construction of the LNG terminal would affect 73 acres of land and 79.3 acres of Lavaca Bay for the CCND's turning basin and Calhoun Point Comfort's ship berth. The pipeline would traverse mostly open land, including rangeland and farmland, following existing transportation easements and rights-of-way. Pipeline installation would disturb 416.6 acres of land, including 23.8 acres of wetlands, though operation of the new facilities would require only 97.7 acres. Four operational oil and gas wells would lie within 150 feet of the pipeline rights-of-way. Dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards from the bay would result in destruction of benthos and short-term turbidity in the water column. Project facilities would lie within essential fish habitat for three species. An additional 120 LNG ships would navigate the Matagorda Ship and Port Comfort channels, resulting in increased congestion, an increased risk of ship-to-ship collisions, and some disruption of recreational boating in the area.

T2  - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP.
AN  - 868224368; 13109-7_0010
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP. [Part 8 of 10]
T2  - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP.
AN  - 868224366; 13109-7_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T2  - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP.
AN  - 868224361; 13109-7_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

AN  - 756824849; 12883-070340_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity is proposed to allow the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Energy Information Administration estimates that total energy consumption in the United States will increase from 100.2 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) per year in 2005 to 131.2 quadrillion Btu per year in 2030. To maintain pace with growing demand, the EIS anticipates that consumption of natural gas in the country will grow from 2.2 trillion cubic feet per year in 2005 to 26.1 trillion cubic feet by 2030. The certificate applicant proposes to construct and operate 110.8 miles of 42-inch gas pipeline from Simpson County, Mississippi to Choctaw County, Alabama; three new compressor stations, to be known as the Delhi, Harrisville, and Destin stations, located in Richland County, Louisiana; Simpson County, Mississippi; and Choctaw county, Alabama, respectively; and other ancillary facilities, including five meter and regulator facilities, eight mainline valves, one side valve, and two pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. The pipeline system would allow the applicant to transport natural gas from producers in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana; the system would have a capacity of 1.272 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative energy sources, energy conservation, systems alternatives, route alternatives, route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide producers of natural gas in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana a link to eastern market outlets via CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company, located in Perryville, Louisiana. Access to Florida markets would be provided via a pipeline interconnection a system operated by Destin Pipeline, LLC and to northeastern markets via an interconnect with the system operated by Transcontinental Pipe Line Company at Station 85. The proposed facilities would help meet growing energy demands and enhance system reliability by providing increased access to domestic natural gas resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would cross 254 surface waterbodies, of which all but 18 would be crossed using conventional open-cut construction techniques; the remaining 18 crossings would be via horizontal directional drilling. The crossing of two National Rivers Inventory-listed channels, the Strong and Chickasawhay rivers, could affect boating activities for short periods during hydrostatic testing and result in short-term losses of streambank vegetation. The project would affect 129 wetlands, disturbing 88.6 acres; conversion of 47.6 acres of forested wetlands to scrub-shrub wetlands would constitute the most significant loss. Forest land, including timber production land, and special interest areas would be removed from these land uses. Since construction activities would be temporary, most of the impacts resulting from the project would be short-term in effect. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA.
AN  - 756824455; 12880-070337_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, wave action along the shoreline of the reservoir would continue to cause bank erosion and downstream releases would cause some scour and bank erosion as well. The impoundment would continue to displace natural stream habitat. [LEG]Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

AN  - 756824429; 12885-070342_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of an existing liquefied national gas (LNG) import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia and the construction of an associated pipeline network in Georgia and South Carolina are proposed by Southern LNG Inc. and Elba Express Company, LLC, both of which are subsidiaries of Southern Natural Gas Company. Southern LNG plans to construct and operate the expansion of its import terminal. The proposed expansion would more than double the terminal's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters of new storage, substantially increasing the facility's vaporization capacity, upgrading the terminal's send-out meter station to increase natural gas send-out capacity of the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), and modifying the terminals LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the proposed facilities would be located entirely within the applicant's 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The terminal expansion would be implemented in two phases. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include: one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank, with an associated boil-of gas condenser and three boil-off gas compressors; three submerged combustion vaporizers, each having a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility; and modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The latter modifications to the docks would include the addition of four mooring dolphins, dredging of 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip, and installation of a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. Phase B construction, which would be completed in 2012, would provide one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank and three submerged combustion vaporizers , each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing an incremental peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of Phase B. To take advantage of the expanded terminal capacity, Elba Express would construct and operate 187 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases, extending between an interconnection with Southern LNG near Port Wentworth, Georgia and an interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in Anderson County, South Carolina. The first phase, to be placed in service no later than July 201, providing a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, would consist of 104.8 miles of42-inch pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing SNG Wrens Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Georgia and 72.3 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnections with Transco in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would also involve construction of operation of a new 10,000-horsepower compressor station near Mille, Georgia, where Southern LNG currently operates other aboveground facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd; the new facilities would be placed in service in January 2013. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS evaluated alternatives, including alternative energy sources, systems alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, alternative designs, and pipeline alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing terminal and pipeline delivery capacities of cooperating companies, the project would increase the volume of and efficiency by which LNG can be imported, gasified, and delivered to markets along the East Coast and throughout the South. Construction job rolls would be substantial, and operations job rolls would not be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Since the expansion of the terminal facilities would take place entirely within the existing terminal site, impacts would be limited to destruction of benthos and degradation of water quality due to sediment releases during dredging and disposal operations, slight alteration of port hydraulics and hydrology, and temporary disturbance of a total or 213 acres in and around the terminal site. The pipeline would traverse 72 miles of prime farmland and 80 miles of soil characterized by inherent limitations for restoration, five major aquifer systems, 161 perennial streams, 180 intermittent streams, and five major rivers. The pipeline project would affect 941 acres of upland forest, 562 acres of planted pine plantation, 735 acres of open land, and two managed wildlife areas protecting sensitive species. Pipeline construction activities would disturb 237 acres of wetlands, including 106 acres of forested wetlands, and 48 acres of wetland would remain permanently disturbed. The overall project could affect numerous federally protected species or candidate species. A total of 69 private water wells would lie within 150 feet of the terminal or the pipeline, and one water intake would lie within three miles downstream of a waterbody crossing along the pipeline. A total of 295 cultural resource sites have been located within the pipeline rights-of-way. Approximately 171 miles of pipeline would lie with area in which a pipeline leak or explosion could result in an immediate public health emergency. The pipeline would mar visual aesthetics in areas near aboveground facilities.

Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include: one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank, with an associated boil-of gas condenser and three boil-off gas compressors; three submerged combustion vaporizers, each having a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility; and modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The latter modifications to the docks would include the addition of four mooring dolphins, dredging of 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip, and installation of a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. Phase B construction, which would be completed in 2012, would provide one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank and three submerged combustion vaporizers , each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing an incremental peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of Phase B. To take advantage of the expanded terminal capacity, Elba Express would construct and operate 187 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases, extending between an interconnection with Southern LNG near Port Wentworth, Georgia and an interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in Anderson County, South Carolina. The first phase, to be placed in service no later than July 201, providing a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, would consist of 104.8 miles of42-inch pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing SNG Wrens Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Georgia and 72.3 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnections with Transco in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would also involve construction of operation of a new 10,000-horsepower compressor station near Mille, Georgia, where Southern LNG currently operates other aboveground facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd; the new facilities would be placed in service in January 2013. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS evaluated alternatives, including alternative energy sources, systems alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, alternative designs, and pipeline alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing terminal and pipeline delivery capacities of cooperating companies, the project would increase the volume of and efficiency by which LNG can be imported, gasified, and delivered to markets along the East Coast and throughout the South. Construction job rolls would be substantial, and operations job rolls would not be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Since the expansion of the terminal facilities would take place entirely within the existing terminal site, impacts would be limited to destruction of benthos and degradation of water quality due to sediment releases during dredging and disposal operations, slight alteration of port hydraulics and hydrology, and temporary disturbance of a total or 213 acres in and around the terminal site. The pipeline would traverse 72 miles of prime farmland and 80 miles of soil characterized by inherent limitations for restoration, five major aquifer systems, 161 perennial streams, 180 intermittent streams, and five major rivers. The pipeline project would affect 941 acres of upland forest, 562 acres of planted pine plantation, 735 acres of open land, and two managed wildlife areas protecting sensitive species. Pipeline construction activities would disturb 237 acres of wetlands, including 106 acres of forested wetlands, and 48 acres of wetland would remain permanently disturbed. The overall project could affect numerous federally protected species or candidate species. A total of 69 private water wells would lie within 150 feet of the terminal or the pipeline, and one water intake would lie within three miles downstream of a waterbody crossing along the pipeline. A total of 295 cultural resource sites have been located within the pipeline rights-of-way. Approximately 171 miles of pipeline would lie with area in which a pipeline leak or explosion could result in an immediate public health emergency. The pipeline would mar visual aesthetics in areas near aboveground facilities.

T1  - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP.
AN  - 36403397; 13109
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.).

T1  - SOUTHEAST EXPANSION PROJECT, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA, AND MISSISSIPPI (DOCKET NOS. CP07-032-000 AND PF06-031-00).
AN  - 36350789; 12883
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity is proposed to allow the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Energy Information Administration estimates that total energy consumption in the United States will increase from 100.2 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) per year in 2005 to 131.2 quadrillion Btu per year in 2030. To maintain pace with growing demand, the EIS anticipates that consumption of natural gas in the country will grow from 2.2 trillion cubic feet per year in 2005 to 26.1 trillion cubic feet by 2030. The certificate applicant proposes to construct and operate 110.8 miles of 42-inch gas pipeline from Simpson County, Mississippi to Choctaw County, Alabama; three new compressor stations, to be known as the Delhi, Harrisville, and Destin stations, located in Richland County, Louisiana; Simpson County, Mississippi; and Choctaw county, Alabama, respectively; and other ancillary facilities, including five meter and regulator facilities, eight mainline valves, one side valve, and two pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. The pipeline system would allow the applicant to transport natural gas from producers in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana; the system would have a capacity of 1.272 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative energy sources, energy conservation, systems alternatives, route alternatives, route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide producers of natural gas in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana a link to eastern market outlets via CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company, located in Perryville, Louisiana. Access to Florida markets would be provided via a pipeline interconnection a system operated by Destin Pipeline, LLC and to northeastern markets via an interconnect with the system operated by Transcontinental Pipe Line Company at Station 85. The proposed facilities would help meet growing energy demands and enhance system reliability by providing increased access to domestic natural gas resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would cross 254 surface waterbodies, of which all but 18 would be crossed using conventional open-cut construction techniques; the remaining 18 crossings would be via horizontal directional drilling. The crossing of two National Rivers Inventory-listed channels, the Strong and Chickasawhay rivers, could affect boating activities for short periods during hydrostatic testing and result in short-term losses of streambank vegetation. The project would affect 129 wetlands, disturbing 88.6 acres; conversion of 47.6 acres of forested wetlands to scrub-shrub wetlands would constitute the most significant loss. Forest land, including timber production land, and special interest areas would be removed from these land uses. Since construction activities would be temporary, most of the impacts resulting from the project would be short-term in effect. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - ELBA III PROJECT, ELBA ISLAND LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS IMPORT TERMINAL, SAVANNAH RIVER, GEORGIA (DOCKET NOS. CP06-470-000, CP06-471-000, CP06-472-000, CP06-473-000, CP06-474-000).
AN  - 36341472; 12885
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of an existing liquefied national gas (LNG) import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia and the construction of an associated pipeline network in Georgia and South Carolina are proposed by Southern LNG Inc. and Elba Express Company, LLC, both of which are subsidiaries of Southern Natural Gas Company. Southern LNG plans to construct and operate the expansion of its import terminal. The proposed expansion would more than double the terminal's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters of new storage, substantially increasing the facility's vaporization capacity, upgrading the terminal's send-out meter station to increase natural gas send-out capacity of the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), and modifying the terminals LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the proposed facilities would be located entirely within the applicant's 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The terminal expansion would be implemented in two phases. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include: one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank, with an associated boil-of gas condenser and three boil-off gas compressors; three submerged combustion vaporizers, each having a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility; and modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The latter modifications to the docks would include the addition of four mooring dolphins, dredging of 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip, and installation of a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. Phase B construction, which would be completed in 2012, would provide one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank and three submerged combustion vaporizers , each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing an incremental peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of Phase B. To take advantage of the expanded terminal capacity, Elba Express would construct and operate 187 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases, extending between an interconnection with Southern LNG near Port Wentworth, Georgia and an interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in Anderson County, South Carolina. The first phase, to be placed in service no later than July 201, providing a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, would consist of 104.8 miles of42-inch pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing SNG Wrens Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Georgia and 72.3 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnections with Transco in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would also involve construction of operation of a new 10,000-horsepower compressor station near Mille, Georgia, where Southern LNG currently operates other aboveground facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd; the new facilities would be placed in service in January 2013. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS evaluated alternatives, including alternative energy sources, systems alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, alternative designs, and pipeline alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing terminal and pipeline delivery capacities of cooperating companies, the project would increase the volume of and efficiency by which LNG can be imported, gasified, and delivered to markets along the East Coast and throughout the South. Construction job rolls would be substantial, and operations job rolls would not be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Since the expansion of the terminal facilities would take place entirely within the existing terminal site, impacts would be limited to destruction of benthos and degradation of water quality due to sediment releases during dredging and disposal operations, slight alteration of port hydraulics and hydrology, and temporary disturbance of a total or 213 acres in and around the terminal site. The pipeline would traverse 72 miles of prime farmland and 80 miles of soil characterized by inherent limitations for restoration, five major aquifer systems, 161 perennial streams, 180 intermittent streams, and five major rivers. The pipeline project would affect 941 acres of upland forest, 562 acres of planted pine plantation, 735 acres of open land, and two managed wildlife areas protecting sensitive species. Pipeline construction activities would disturb 237 acres of wetlands, including 106 acres of forested wetlands, and 48 acres of wetland would remain permanently disturbed. The overall project could affect numerous federally protected species or candidate species. A total of 69 private water wells would lie within 150 feet of the terminal or the pipeline, and one water intake would lie within three miles downstream of a waterbody crossing along the pipeline. A total of 295 cultural resource sites have been located within the pipeline rights-of-way. Approximately 171 miles of pipeline would lie with area in which a pipeline leak or explosion could result in an immediate public health emergency. The pipeline would mar visual aesthetics in areas near aboveground facilities.

T1  - MASTER PLAN FOR DEEP-DRAFT WHARF AND FILL IMPROVEMENTS AT APRA HARBOR, PITI, GUAM.
AN  - 36340977; 12882
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a master plan for deep-draft wharf and fill improvements at Apra Harbor of Piti, Guam is proposed. Presently, waterfront dock space at the harbor is severely limited. Port Authority of Guam (PAG) wharfage facilities comprise a total of 3,920 linear feet with an average draft of only 35 feet. Larger container vessels currently calling at the harbor cannot enter the port fully loaded due to draft restrictions. Deeper draft vessels are also prohibited from berthing at the existing PAG facilities. engineering studies have shown that the existing cargo piers cannot be dredged further dredging would compromise their structural integrity. Over the past few years, PAG has averaged 150 to 200 port calls per month, resulting in congested operating conditions for break-bulk carrier vessels, cement carriers, container ships, cruise vessels and yachts, fishing vessels, research vessels, tankers, training vessels, tugs and barges, and U.S. Navy deep-draft vessels, including carrier strike forces. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed action, which is also the preferred alternative, would involve the construction of a deep-draft wharf consisting of a concrete deck with a piled foundation. This concept employs individual piles driven in a grid across the site to support a concrete deck. The wharf would extend 1,512 feet and have a width of 215 feet, providing an overall wharf deck area of 325,080 square feet (7.46 acres). The facility would include a 3.92-acre concrete deck on precast concrete piles and 3.54 acre on backlands on fill as well as roadway and utility improvements, including facilities for potable water, sanitary sewage transport, and electrical services. Dredging of 6.54 acres of seabed along the wharf face and directly beneath the wharf would be required to provide a navigational depth of 55 feet below mean sea level. In addition to the wharf, the project would provide for the reclamation of three sites with containment dikes to the east of the wharf. At the present time, PAG does not have specific development plans for the reclamation sites. However, it is the intent of PAG to allow the sites to remain open for eventual use as additional operating backland and container yard space in support of the wharf. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to significantly improving the safety and efficiency of PAG harbor operations by accommodating deep-draft vessels and increasing wharf berthing space, the proposed action would enhance the light industrial and maritime-based operations throughout the port district. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Remnant historical structures on both coast and submerged lands would be permanently lost as a result of wharf construction; however, most of the affected structures have deteriorated into poor condition and have suffered from remodeling and other modifications, resulting in the loss of much of their historic value and removing them from consideration for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Recreational scuba diving opportunities within the nearshore waters at Outhouse Beach would be permanently lost. Public health and safety threats could arise in relation to wharf operations in relation to natural disasters, exposure explosives and hazardous materials , and terrorist attacks. Increased vessel traffic within the harbor, supported by the existence of the deep-draft wharf, would result in disturbance of benthic sediments containing pollutants and sediment damage to corals. Dredging would result in the direct loss of coral reef habitat. Approximately 102.9 acres of marine habitat, including reef flat, reef crest, reef slope, and deep sand, would be impacted as a result of sediment suspension and resuspension during construction activities. In addition, 20.58 acres would be impacted as a result of sediment deposition and 3.3 acres would be damaged due to temporary placement of anchors and mooring lines for dredges, barges, and other equipment. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1465), 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.).

T1  - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA.
AN  - 36340948; 12880
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, wave action along the shoreline of the reservoir would continue to cause bank erosion and downstream releases would cause some scour and bank erosion as well. The impoundment would continue to displace natural stream habitat. [LEG]Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

T1  - Types and occurrence of morphological anomalies in Scaphirhynchus spp. of the Middle and Lower Mississippi River
AN  - 879467160; 7903988
AB  - Sturgeon specimens encountered in the wild that exhibit visible signs of gross physical trauma often look to the naked eye to be in otherwise good condition. Visible morphological anomalies were observed in 9.1% of 176 pallid (Scaphirhynchus albus) and 4.6% of 4904 shovelnose (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon specimens captured in the Middle (mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River) and Lower (below mouth of Ohio River) Mississippi River from 1997 to 2004. Frequencies among the types of anomalies differed between the lower and middle river reaches. In the lower river, deformities from foreign objects (typically rubber bands) comprised almost one-third of anomalies observed and may have contributed to other types of anterior injury which, if combined, would comprise the majority of lower river anomalies. In the middle river, nearly half of the observed anomalies involved damage to the caudal peduncle, usually a missing tail. Power regressions from length-weight relationships were compared for anomalous and non-anomalous specimens and demonstrated no significant disparity, verifying the resiliency of river sturgeons.

T1  - Environmental process descriptors for TNT, TNT-related compounds and picric acid in marine sediment slurries.
AN  - 68099990; 17512956
AB  - Process descriptors were determined for picric acid, TNT, and the TNT-related compounds 2,4DNT, 2,6DNT, 2ADNT, 4ADNT, 2,4DANT, 2,6DANT, TNB and DNB in marine sediment slurries. Three marine sediments of various physical characteristics (particle size ranging from 15 to >90% fines and total organic carbon ranging from <0.10 to 3.60%) were kept in suspension with 20ppt saline water. Concentrations of TNT and its related compounds decreased immediately upon contact with the marine sediment slurries, with aqueous concentrations slowly declining throughout the remaining test period. Sediment-water partition coefficients could not be determined for these compounds since solution phase concentrations were unstable. Kinetic rates and half-lives were influenced by the sediment properties, with the finer grained, higher organic carbon sediment being the most reactive. Aqueous concentrations of picric acid were very stable, demonstrating little partitioning to the sediments. Degradation to picramic acid was minimal, exhibiting concentrations at or just above the detection limit.

T1  - Longshore current and sediment transport on beaches
AN  - 51019047; 2008-087335
AB  - A numerical model based on the time-averaged continuity, cross-shore momentum, longshore momentum, and energy equations is developed to predict the cross-shore variations of the mean and standard deviation of the free surface elevation and depth-averaged cross-shore and longshore velocities under obliquely incident irregular breaking waves. The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets.

T1  - Environmental Evaluation of Dust Stabilizer Products
AN  - 21228203; 9046977
AB  - Personnel of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, MS, and Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC), Portsmouth, VA, evaluated the environmental fate and effects of six commercially available dust stabilizer products. As part of the evaluation, a relative risk comparison was made of the six materials to other materials that have been used historically to control dusts (i.e., diesel, crude oil, fuel oil). Data for this evaluation were obtained primarily through literature review, communication with the manufacturers of the products, and through some limited analytical chemistry. Data gaps and uncertainties were also identified and described. Conclusions were derived from the results of the evaluation, with each stabilizer group presented separately along with general conclusions applicable to all stabilizers studied.

T1  - A Wetland Restoration Spatial Decision Support System for the Mississippi Gulf Coast
AN  - 21146408; 9046974
AB  - The Engineer Research and Development Center, Environmental Laboratory, has created a Wetlands Restoration Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) based on Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. SDSS will be used to identify and prioritize potential wetland restoration areas along the Mississippi Gulf Coast as part of the non-structural solutions planned for that area following Hurricane Katrina. Advantages of the SDSS approach include relatively rapid identification and assessment of a large number of restoration sites across a wide area. Potential sites can also be evaluated and restored in a watershed or landscape context, maximizing the benefits of wetland restoration.

T1  - Tracking Groundwater Sources with Environmental Isotopes
AN  - 20383023; 7793815
AB  - The application of environmental isotopes provides a forensic tool that could help resolve legal and water accounting disputes in the Lower Colorado River Basin (LCBR; see map). One such dispute involves the relationship between groundwater pumping in the basin and consumptive use of Colorado River water. Article I of a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decree considered consumptive use to include "water drawn from the mainstream by underground pumping." The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has presumed that wells located on the Colorado River flood plain and certain other wells on the surrounding alluvial terraces yield river water. With technical assistance from the U.S. Geological Survey, in 1994, Reclamation proposed an "accounting surface" method to address wells outside the flood plain. The method relies on a hydraulic criterion: wells that have a static water-level elevation equal to or below the published accounting surface are presumed to yield water that will be replaced by water from the river (Wilson and Owen-Joyce, 1994). There are several thousand such wells in Arizona and California. While the proposed changes in river water accounting have several operational advantages for Reclamation, one foreseeable criticism is that the method does not provide direct evidence that a well yields mainstream water. A method that could distinguish between withdrawals of mainstream or locally recharged tributary water would be a welcome advance.

T1  - Regional Guidebook for Applying the Hydrogeomorphic Approach to Assessing the Functions of Headwater Slope Wetlands on the Mississippi and Alabama Coastal Plains
AN  - 20365077; 9048612
AB  - The Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Approach is a collection of concepts and methods for developing functional indices and subsequently using them to assess the capacity of a wetland to perform functions relative to similar wetlands in a region. The approach was initially designed to be used in the context of the Clean Water Act Section 404 Regulatory Program permit review sequence. This Regional Guidebook (a) characterizes the Headwater Slope wetlands in southern Mississippi and Alabama, (b) describes and provides the rationale used to select functions for the Headwater Slope wetland subclass, (c) describes model variables and metrics, (d) describes the development of assessment models, (e) provides data from reference wetlands and documents their use in calibrating model variables and assessment models, and (f) outlines protocols for applying the functional indices to the assessment of wetland functions.

T1  - Development of a Distributed Source Contaminant Transport, Transformation, and Fate (CTT&F) Sub-Model for Military Installations
AN  - 20364195; 9047617
AB  - One of the responsibilities of the U.S. military is to operate munitions test and live-fire training ranges. As a result of this testing and training, many explosives and their degradation products persist in the environment. Ecosystem management by military installations can be met only by providing the tools necessary to actively manage watersheds. Water quality and related aquatic ecosystems are major end-points and are insufficiently understood components of natural resource management. Numerical modeling, as part of watershed management, is not new. Considerable advances have been made in physically based distributed watershed hydrologic modeling in the past few years; however, few physically based, distributed models simulate contaminant transformation and transport processes. This report summarizes the development of overland and channel contaminant fate and transport modules for linkage with a variety of hydraulic and hydrologic modeling systems.

T1  - Age and growth of pallid sturgeon in the free-flowing Mississippi River
AN  - 19701825; 7903998
AB  - Trotlines were used to capture pallid sturgeon in the free-flowing Mississippi River, which extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the mouth of the Missouri River. Trotlines were baited with worms, and set overnight usually along the channel border. The pectoral fin rays of 165 pallid sturgeon caught in the Mississippi River were aged; 118 were from the lower Mississippi River (LMR) between the Gulf and mouth of the Ohio River, and 47 were from the middle Mississippi River (MMR) between the mouths of the Ohio and Missouri rivers. Initial agreement within plus or minus 1 year between two readers ranged from 53% for the LMR specimens, which were read first, to 84% for the MMR. Final age was agreed upon by both readers. For LMR pallid sturgeon, final age estimates ranged from 3 to 21 years with a mean ( plus or minus SD) of 11.0 plus or minus 4.7. For MMR pallid sturgeon, final age estimates ranged from 5 to 14 years with a mean of 9.5 plus or minus 2.1. Seven pallid sturgeon marked with coded wire tags (CWT), indicating hatchery origin, were collected in the MMR. Age estimates for CWT fish were 7-8 years representing 1997 stocked fish, and 11-12 years representing 1992 progeny stocked in 1994. Von Bertalanffy growth equations for length indicated that pallid sturgeon in the MMR had higher growth rates for a given age than pallid sturgeon in the LMR. However, there were no significant differences (anova, P > 0.5) in the length-weight relationships between reaches. In the LMR, pallid sturgeon fully recruited to trotlines at age 11 and instantaneous total mortality (Z; slope of catch curve) was estimated at -0.12 (n = 10 year classes, r super(2) = 0.55, P = 0.01). Of the 118 sectioned rays from the LMR, 28 could not be reliably aged (only one section from the MMR could not be aged). Therefore, age was predicted from length using the von Bertalanffy equation. The catch curve was re-calculated using the predicted ages of the 28 pallid sturgeon in the LMR resulting in Z = -0.07. In the MMR, pallid sturgeon fully recruited to trotlines at age 9 and Z was estimated at -0.36 (n = 6 year classes, r super(2) = 0.67, P = 0.04), which was significantly higher (anova, P = 0.04) than the LMR estimate. Higher mortality in the MMR may be due to habitat limitations compared to a larger, more diverse channel in the LMR, and incidental take of larger, older individuals during commercial harvesting of shovelnose sturgeon. Commercial take of shovelnose does not occur in the LMR except in the northern portion of the reach. Considering the presence of pallid sturgeon with CWT, recruitment of older individuals in the MMR may have been influenced by stocking a decade earlier. Management strategies for this endangered species should consider the differences in mortality rates among reaches, the impacts of commercial fishing on recovery of pallid sturgeon in the MMR, and the long-term effects of hatchery fish now recruiting into the free-flowing Mississippi River.

T1  - The determination of tungsten, molybdenum, and phosphorus oxyanions by high performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometery.
AN  - 733876357; 19071839
AB  - The toxic properties of tungsten compounds have recently been brought to the forefront with clusters of human cancer cases, such as in Fallon, NV. Such instances have made the determination of tungsten in natural water supplies vitally important. Tungsten exists in most environmental matrices as the soluble and mobile tungstate anion, although it can polymerize with itself and other anions, such as molybdate and phosphate. Because the geochemical and toxicological properties of these polymer species will vary from the monomeric tungstate parent, determination of tungstate speciation is as critical as determination of total dissolved tungsten concentration. Use of chromatographic separations, followed by element-specific detection is a proven technology for elemental speciation. In the present work, anion exchange chromatography has been coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine tungstate, molybdate, and phosphate species at the sub-microg l(-1) and microg l(-1) levels. The method provides quantitative determination of these species in about 10 min with the capability to simultaneously determine other oxyanion species. The method has been applied to groundwater and extracts of soils amended with tungsten powder. The water soluble tungsten in 1-h deionized water extracts after six months of soil aging was >15 mg l(-1), however, only approximately 50% of the tungsten was present as monomeric tungstate.

T1  - US 36 CORRIDOR PROJECT, DENVER METROPOLITAN AREA, COLORADO.
AN  - 36350613; 12823
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of multimodal transportation improvements in the US 36 corridor between Interstate 25 (I-25) in Adams County and Foothills Parkway/Table Mesa Drive in Boulder, Colorado is proposed. The study area includes portions of several communities in the northwest Denver metropolitan area. This segment of US 36 currently consists of four main through lanes along the majority of the corridor and 10 major interchanges (Broadway, Pecos Street, Federal Boulevard, Sheridan Boulevard/92nd Avenue, Church Ranch Boulevard/104th Avenue, Wadsworth Parkway, East/West Flatiron Circle, 96th Street/Interlocken Loop, McCaslin Boulevard, and Foothills Parkway/Table Mesa Drive). As congestion increases along the corridor, the level of service has declined significantly, particularly during morning and evening peak hours. Improvements under consideration include general purpose travel lanes, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, express lanes, bus improvements, new arterial lanes, and bicycle facilities. These options have been organized into two build alternative, which this EIS addresses along with a No-Build Alternative, known as Package 1. Package 2 would provide a additional capacity in the express lanes. Through the use of dynamic pricing, these lanes would be used for congestion management. Primary components of this package would include two barrier-separated express lanes in each direction from I-25 to McCaslin Boulevard; one buffer-separated lane in each direction between McCaslin Boulevard and Cherryvale Road, median bus rapid transit (BRT) stations to expedite the boarding and alighting of passengers, and dedicated bikeway. Package 4 (Package 3 has been dropped from consideration) would provide for one additional general purpose lane in each direction from I-25 to McCaslin Boulevard, one buffer-separated BRT/HOV lane from I-25 to Cherryvale Road, median BRT stations, acceleration or deceleration lanes at some locations, and a dedicated bikeway. Estimated implementation costs for packages 2 and 4 are $2.3 billion and 2.1 billion, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The multimodal improvement would increase trip capacity within the corridor by modernizing and expanding US 36, expand local and regional access, resolve significant congestion problems for the near and foreseeable future, expand mode of travel options, and provide for efficient public transit service. The project would ease access to and from the communities of Denver, Westminster, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior, and Boulder, as well as unincorporated Adams, Jefferson, Denver, and Boulder counties. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Build packages would result in the displacement of 182 or 183 residences, and 129 to 135 businesses, 24.5 to 32.1 acres of wetlands, and 43 to 53 acres of parkland, including a portion of Rotary Park in t he Adams segment. In addition, four trail crossings would be affected. The greatest loss of private property would occur in the Adams segment due to constrained rights-of-way in that portion of the corridor. Four structures eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Habitat for two federally protected species, Pebble's meadow jumping mouse and Ute ladies'-tresses orchid, would be taken. Traffic-generated noise levels under either alternative would exceed federal standards at 126 residential receptor sites in 2030. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - INTERSTATE 73, FROM I-19 TO FUTURE INTERSTATE 74, DILLON AND MARLBOROUGH COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA AND RICHMOND AND SCOTT COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36340357; 12816
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a segment of Interstate 73 (I-73) on new alignment in northeastern South Carolina is proposed. Through the portion of the project to be addressed in this EIS process is located in South Carolina, the project study area extends northwest from I-95 and is bounded by the North Carolina/South Carolina state line to the east, by a line just north of future I-73/74 in North Carolina, and to the west by the eastern edge of the Great Pee Dee River floodplain. The project would extend from I-95 in Dillon County and through Marlboro County in South Carolina and into Richmond County, North Carolina, terminating at I-74 in Richmond County. The typical roadway section would accommodate a six-lane facility with corridors for future rail lines and allowances for frontage roads where necessary. The initial facility would accommodate two traffic lanes in each direction. In the future, when traffic volumes increased to a pint at which additional lanes were necessary to maintain an acceptable level of service, an additional lane in each direction would be added within the median. A 400-foot rights-of-way would be acquired where frontage roads were necessary. Where frontage roads were not required, a 300-foot rights-of-way would be acquired. Three alternative alignments and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives vary in length from 36.8 to 40.6 miles. These alternatives would have interchanges at I-95, State Route (SR) 34, SR 381 or SR 9, US 15/401, SR 79, or SR 9, and I-71. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2), which extends 36.8 miles, was selected as it would have the least impact on wetlands and farmland, the lowest cost, and the fewest residential and business relocations. Construction cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $1.08 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new segment of freeway would provide an interstate link between the southernmost proposed segment of I-73 (between I-95 and the Myrtle Beach area) ad the North Carolina I-73/74 corridor, to serve residents, businesses, and travelers while fulfilling congressional intent in an environmentally responsible and community-sensitive manner. The project would promote economic development in Richmond, Scotland, Marlboro, and Dillon counties and provide a corridor for future rail connections. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 35 residences and six businesses, 1,505 acres of farmland, 114.3 acres of wetlands, 8,143 linear feet of stream at 24 stream crossings, 1,800.8 acres of upland wildlife habitat, and 25 acres of floodplain. Approximately 804.9 acres within the corridor would have a high potential for containing archaeological values. The facility would traverse four rail lines and two natural gas pipelines. Eight communities populated by minority and/or low income residents would suffer disproportionately from community disruptions cause by construction and use of the freeway. Construction workers would encounter one hazardous waste site. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 12898, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - MID-JORDAN TRANSIT CORRIDOR, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 36346479; 12814
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a light-rail transit (LRT) project for the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor in the southwest portion of Salt Lake County, Utah are proposed. The study area lies in the southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, consisting of the cities of Murray, Midvale, West Jordan, and South Jordan and including a planned community, the Daybreak Development. Several studies have identified this area as having need for significantly improved public transportation, particularly of the High Capacity Transit variety. The proposed LRT services would be provided between the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor, serving the Midvale, Murry, West Jordan, South Jordan, and Daybreak Development, and Salt Lake City. Nine new LRT stations would be provided, one each at Bingham Junction, Midvale, Gardner Village, Redwood, West Jordan City Center, 2700 West, Bangerter, 4800 West, 5600 West, Daybreak North, and Daybreak South. The project would involve construction of 10.1 miles of new track parallel to the single-track of the Bingham Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad from the existing North/South TRAX LRT line at the existing 6400 Station to approximately 5600 West, where the line would turn south into the new Daybreak Development. Reconstruction/relation of the existing single-track of the Bingham Branch would also be required to ensure that the LRT and the railroad freight trains would be on separate tracks. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an enhanced bus service alternative. Estimated cost of the LRT alternative is $452.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The LRT extension would accommodate a portion of the existing and projected travel demand through the year 2025 along the study corridor in the rapidly growing southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, thereby increasing transit ridership in the Salt Lake City area and decreasing the use of vehicular transport, which causes traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. Regional air quality and noise levels along road corridors would also improve significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land acquisition requirements at station sties would result in the displacement of three residential and seven commercial structures housing eight businesses. The LRT line would cross the 100-eyar floodplain at three locations. Rights-of-way clearance would displace 174 acres of mostly disturbed vegetation and 0.32 acres of wetlands. Five archaeological sites and two historic sites could be adversely affected, and noise levels in the vicinity of Green Meadow Park would be increased. A planned trail along the Birmingham Branch could be affected. System operational noise would exceed federal standards at 41 sensitive residential receptor sites; and additional 13 sites would experience significant noise increases.

T1  - HUNTER VALLEY RESERVOIR ENLARGEMENT, GRAND VALLEY RANGER DISTRICT, GRAND MESA, UNCOMPAHGRE, AND GUNNISON NATIONAL FORESTS, COLORADO.
AN  - 36341705; 12796
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a dam to enlarge Hunter Reservoir on Leon Creek within the Grand Valley Ranger District of the Grand Mesa Uncompahgre, and Gunnison national forests, Mesa County, Colorado is proposed. The reservoir is operated under a special use permit issued to the Ute Water Conservancy District (Ute Water) and administered by the Grand Valley Ranger District. Over the next 40 years, Ute Water's municipal water demand is expected to increase by 250 percent; hence, the water authority has planned a number of projects to answer this need. Key issues addressed during scoping include those related to construction impacts on soils; base and peak flow regime impacts due to continued water management, wildlife habitat losses and functional alterations to habitat, and recreational impacts. Under the proposed action the reservoir would be enlarged from 19 surface acres to approximately 80 surface acres, increasing the water storage capacity of the facility from 110 acre-feet to 1,340 acre-feet. Reconstruction of the earthen dam would increase the embankment's height from 26 feet to 27 feet and bring the dam into safety compliance with the requirements of the Office of the State Engineer. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged reservoir would provide a portion of Ute Water's projected municipal water demand. Fish habitat in the reservoir would be enhanced significantly, and the recreational capacity of the facility would expand substantially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 88.8 acres of vegetation and the associated terrestrial wildlife habitat would be displaced during reservoir enlargement, and 84.3 acres would be lost permanently following reclamation. The enlarged reservoir would result in the year-round or seasonal inundation of 32 acres of wetlands; compensation for wetland losses, as mandated by federal law, has been arranged. Although the existing wetland function has already been altered, it was determined that there would be additional effects to remaining wetland function. Base and peak flows below the dam along Leon Creek, affecting both stream hydrology and fisheries. During reservoir filling, in-stream flow would decrease drastically along the 0.06-mile reach directly below the dam. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T2  - INTEGRATED POST AUTHORIZATION DECISION DOCUMENT FOR THE SAN LUIS REY FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT FROM COLLEGE BLVD. TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 756824551; 12794-070292_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of operation and maintenance components for the vegetation and sediment management under the San Luis Rey River (SLRR) Flood Control Project in San Diego County California is proposed. The SLRR Project, authorized by Congress in 1970 and approved in 1988, consists of a modified single-levee plan. The project corridor encompasses 7.2 river miles extending from College Boulevard (formerly Murray Road) on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. Phased construction was initiated in September 1990 and completed in January 2000. Due to recent discovery of habitat for and populations of least Bell's vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and coastal California gnatcatcher, all of which are protected by federal or state authorities, are or may be present in the project area seasonally, the vegetation and sediment management components of the authorized operation and maintenance plan are being revised. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, have been retained for considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives 2, 10, and 11 would provide for various vegetation and sediment management schemes within the flood control channel between College Boulevard and Interstate 5. The implementation of alternative 10 or 11 would be phased over three years. Action alternative 2 constitutes the original operations and maintenance plan authorized in 1988 and designed to convey flows of approximately 89,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Activities under Alternative 2 would include annual vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas, allowing for vegetation growth of approximately zero to five years of age within the project's 400-foot conveyance zone. Alternative 10 would provide for 71,200 cfs of flow conveyance and include annual and rotational vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas. Areas designated for rotation clearing would allow for vegetation of up to 10 years of age, and areas designated as unmaintained would not be subject to any vegetation growth up to 10 years of age. Alternative 11, the proposed action, would include vegetation and sediment operation and maintenance activities similar to those under Alternative 10, with the exception that Alternative 11 would call for mowing of vegetation and leaving vegetation in the channel rather than hauling uprooted vegetation to a landfill. Gross investment costs for alternatives 10 and 11 are estimated at $38.1 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Respective annualized costs of the alternatives are estimated at $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The allowed channel flow conveyance under the proposed action would allow for a flow conveyance providing a 175-year return, maintaining habitat within the channel and detention pools for a number of endangered species and their critical habitats. Annual benefits from the proposed action would amount to $3.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly established conveyance capacity would fall below that of the authorized flood control plan, reduce flood containment capacity by 20 percent. As a result, the plan would result in annualized flood damages amounting to $1.5 million. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-611), and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662), Water Resources Development Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-640), and Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-303).

AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of operation and maintenance components for the vegetation and sediment management under the San Luis Rey River (SLRR) Flood Control Project in San Diego County California is proposed. The SLRR Project, authorized by Congress in 1970 and approved in 1988, consists of a modified single-levee plan. The project corridor encompasses 7.2 river miles extending from College Boulevard (formerly Murray Road) on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. Phased construction was initiated in September 1990 and completed in January 2000. Due to recent discovery of habitat for and populations of least Bell's vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and coastal California gnatcatcher, all of which are protected by federal or state authorities, are or may be present in the project area seasonally, the vegetation and sediment management components of the authorized operation and maintenance plan are being revised. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, have been retained for considered in this final EIS. Action alternatives 2, 10, and 11 would provide for various vegetation and sediment management schemes within the flood control channel between College Boulevard and Interstate 5. The implementation of alternative 10 or 11 would be phased over three years. Action alternative 2 constitutes the original operations and maintenance plan authorized in 1988 and designed to convey flows of approximately 89,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Activities under Alternative 2 would include annual vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas, allowing for vegetation growth of approximately zero to five years of age within the project's 400-foot conveyance zone. Alternative 10 would provide for 71,200 cfs of flow conveyance and include annual and rotational vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas. Areas designated for rotation clearing would allow for vegetation of up to 10 years of age, and areas designated as unmaintained would not be subject to any vegetation growth up to 10 years of age. Alternative 11, the proposed action, would include vegetation and sediment operation and maintenance activities similar to those under Alternative 10, with the exception that Alternative 11 would call for mowing of vegetation and leaving vegetation in the channel rather than hauling uprooted vegetation to a landfill. Gross investment costs for alternatives 10 and 11 are estimated at $38.1 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Respective annualized costs of the alternatives are estimated at $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The allowed channel flow conveyance under the proposed action would allow for a flow conveyance providing a 175-year return, maintaining habitat within the channel and detention pools for a number of endangered species and their critical habitats. Annual benefits from the proposed action would amount to $3.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly established conveyance capacity would fall below that of the authorized flood control plan, reduce flood containment capacity by 20 percent. As a result, the plan would result in annualized flood damages amounting to $1.5 million. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-611), and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662), Water Resources Development Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-640), and Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-303).

T2  - BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE (BRAC) ACTIONS AT U.S. ARMY GARRISON ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MARYLAND.
AN  - 756824805; 12789-070287_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations and related U.S. Army actions at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Harford and Baltimore counties, Maryland is proposed. APG is situated on more than 72,000 acres in Harford County on the northwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The BRAC Commission's recommendations are intended to align U.S. base structure with the force structure needed over the next 20 years. The proposed action would involve realignment of assets and staff from a number of Army command level, administrative, and research and development activities to APG. Missions, activities, and assets to be realigned to APG would include the procurement management facilities and information systems, sensors, electronic warfare, and electronics research and development (R&D) and acquisitions facilities at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey; the sensors, electronics, and electronic warfare R&D facilities, information systems R&D, and chemical biological defense R&D component at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the human systems research facility at Fort Knox, Kentucky; the information system development and acquisitions facility at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; the Army Test and Evaluation Command at Park Center Four, Alexandria, Virginia; the non-medical chemical biological defense development and acquisition facility at Brooks City Base, San Antonio, Texas; the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Warfare at Falls Church, Virginia; the procurement management facilities for depot-level repairables at Fort Huachuca, Arizona; the Vehicle Technology Directorates of the Army Research Laboratory facilities at Langley, Virginia and Glenn, Ohio; and the medical chemical defense research facilities at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, District of Columbia. Realignments resulting in movement of APG missions and related facilities and personnel to other bases would include relocation of the Army Environmental Command to Fort Sam Houston, Texas; the Ordnance Center and School to Fort Lee, Virginia; and all headquarters and support activities of the Joint Cross Service Group mobilization functions to Fort Dix, New Jersey. The proposed action would include the demolition of some superannuated facilities and the construction of new facilities and renovation of existing facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers the No Action Alternative. The increase in population and number of functions at APG would result in increased consumption related to the installation's military and social functions, significantly enhancing he local economy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would reposture the Army's global force; facilitate the ongoing transformation of U.S. forces to meet the challenges of the 21st Century; and restructure important support functions to capitalize on advances in technology and business practices. The proposed action would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: When completed, the realignment at APG would result in a population increase of 4,400 military, government civilian, and civilian contractor personnel, placing additional stress on local government and commercial services and utilities as well as increasing congestion affecting the regional transportation infrastructure. Renovation of certain buildings within APG would result in the alteration of structure potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, 07-0010D, Volume 31, Number 1.

The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: When completed, the realignment at APG would result in a population increase of 4,400 military, government civilian, and civilian contractor personnel, placing additional stress on local government and commercial services and utilities as well as increasing congestion affecting the regional transportation infrastructure. Renovation of certain buildings within APG would result in the alteration of structure potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN  - 756824450; 12789-070287_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations and related U.S. Army actions at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Harford and Baltimore counties, Maryland is proposed. APG is situated on more than 72,000 acres in Harford County on the northwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The BRAC Commission's recommendations are intended to align U.S. base structure with the force structure needed over the next 20 years. The proposed action would involve realignment of assets and staff from a number of Army command level, administrative, and research and development activities to APG. Missions, activities, and assets to be realigned to APG would include the procurement management facilities and information systems, sensors, electronic warfare, and electronics research and development (R&D) and acquisitions facilities at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey; the sensors, electronics, and electronic warfare R&D facilities, information systems R&D, and chemical biological defense R&D component at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the human systems research facility at Fort Knox, Kentucky; the information system development and acquisitions facility at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; the Army Test and Evaluation Command at Park Center Four, Alexandria, Virginia; the non-medical chemical biological defense development and acquisition facility at Brooks City Base, San Antonio, Texas; the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Warfare at Falls Church, Virginia; the procurement management facilities for depot-level repairables at Fort Huachuca, Arizona; the Vehicle Technology Directorates of the Army Research Laboratory facilities at Langley, Virginia and Glenn, Ohio; and the medical chemical defense research facilities at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, District of Columbia. Realignments resulting in movement of APG missions and related facilities and personnel to other bases would include relocation of the Army Environmental Command to Fort Sam Houston, Texas; the Ordnance Center and School to Fort Lee, Virginia; and all headquarters and support activities of the Joint Cross Service Group mobilization functions to Fort Dix, New Jersey. The proposed action would include the demolition of some superannuated facilities and the construction of new facilities and renovation of existing facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers the No Action Alternative. The increase in population and number of functions at APG would result in increased consumption related to the installation's military and social functions, significantly enhancing he local economy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would reposture the Army's global force; facilitate the ongoing transformation of U.S. forces to meet the challenges of the 21st Century; and restructure important support functions to capitalize on advances in technology and business practices. The proposed action would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant.

T2  - ATLANTIC COAST OF MARYLAND SHORELINE PROTECTION PROJECT: BORROW SOURCES FOR 2010 - 2044 (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF JUNE 1998 TITLED OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND, AND VICINITY: WATER RESOURCES STUDY).
AN  - 756824965; 13572-080347_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this final supplement the final EIS. The proposal at hand addresses only the borrow areas; the overall restoration project has been described in a final EIS of June 1998. The overall project components would address problems caused by disruption of sediment movement in the vicinity of Assateague Island and insufficient depth for deeper draft boats using the harbor. The overall project would include a navigation component and a shoreline restoration component. The recommended environmental restoration plan, for which the borrow sites addressed in this supplemental EIS are necessary, includes restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, construction of a new three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. It is estimated that 6.8 million to 15 million cubic yards of sand would be needed through 2044; sand would be placed on the shoreline on a quadrennial basis. This supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources together capable of meeting the need for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as the preferred sites, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. A fourth site, referred to as Shoal B, but locally known as Bass Grounds or First Lump, has been identified as capable of providing suitable sand as well. However, Shoal B is an important fishing ground; hence, sand at the site would not be used unless future evaluation finds that its value as a fishing resource has diminished substantially. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. Channel improvements would allow for safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. Stabilizing South Point would protect habitat for the Brown Pelican colony nesting there and the additional areas would create and stabilize habitat for colonial waterbirds such as the Least Tern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of dredged material to create islands would destroy benthic organisms and habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Water Resources Development Act of 1986 P.L. 99-662), and Water Resources Development Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-101).

For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs on the overall shoreline restoration project, see 97-0191D, Volume 21, Number 3 and 99-0078F, Volume 23, Number 1, respectively.

The recommended environmental restoration plan, for which the borrow sites addressed in this supplemental EIS are necessary, includes restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, construction of a new three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. It is estimated that 6.8 million to 15 million cubic yards of sand would be needed through 2044; sand would be placed on the shoreline on a quadrennial basis. This supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources together capable of meeting the need for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as the preferred sites, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. A fourth site, referred to as Shoal B, but locally known as Bass Grounds or First Lump, has been identified as capable of providing suitable sand as well. However, Shoal B is an important fishing ground; hence, sand at the site would not be used unless future evaluation finds that its value as a fishing resource has diminished substantially. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. Channel improvements would allow for safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. Stabilizing South Point would protect habitat for the Brown Pelican colony nesting there and the additional areas would create and stabilize habitat for colonial waterbirds such as the Least Tern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of dredged material to create islands would destroy benthic organisms and habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Water Resources Development Act of 1986 P.L. 99-662), and Water Resources Development Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-101).

T1  - ATLANTIC COAST OF MARYLAND SHORELINE PROTECTION PROJECT: BORROW SOURCES FOR 2010 - 2044 (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF JUNE 1998 TITLED "OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND, AND VICINITY: WATER RESOURCES STUDY").
AN  - 36350591; 12776
AB  - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft supplemental EIS. The proposal under consideration only addresses the borrow areas; the overall restoration project has been described in a final EIS of June 1998. The overall project components would address problems caused by disruption of sediment movement in the vicinity of Assateague Island and insufficient depth for deeper draft boats using the harbor. The overall project would include a navigation component and a shoreline restoration component. The recommended environmental restoration plan, for which the borrow sites addressed in this supplemental EIS are necessary, includes restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, construction of a new three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. It is estimated that 800,000 cubic yards of sand would be needed on a quadrennial basis to maintain the project restoration features; hence, through out the project life, 6.8 million cubic yards would be required. To provide the materials needed through the economic conclusion of the project in 2044, this supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as potential sources, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. Cost of dredging from the three recommended offshore shoals throughout the project life is estimated at $268 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. Channel improvements would allow for safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms.

T1  - Tele-infrasonic studies of hard-rock mining explosions.
AN  - 742773010; pmid-17614468
AB  - The Lac-du-Bonnet infrasound station, IS-10, and the Minnesota iron mines 390 km to the southeast are ideally located to assess the accuracy of atmospheric profiles needed for infrasound modeling. Infrasonic data from 2003 associated with explosions at the iron mine were analyzed for effects of explosion size and atmospheric conditions on observations with well-constrained ground truth. Noise was the determining factor for observation; high noise conditions sometimes prevented unequivocal identification of infrasound arrivals. Observed arrivals had frequencies of 0.5 to 5 Hz, with a dominant frequency of 2 Hz, and generally had durations on the order of 10 s or less. There was no correlation between explosive amount and observability. Tele-infrasonic propagation distances (greater than 250 km) produce thermospheric ray paths. Modeling is based upon MSIS/HWM (Mass Spectrometer Incoherent Scatter/Horizontal Wind Model) and NRL-G2S (Naval Research Laboratory Ground to Space) datasets. The NRL-G2S dataset provided more accurate travel time predictions that the MSIS/HWM dataset. PE modeling for the NRL-G2S dataset indicates energy loss at higher frequencies (around 4 Hz). Additionally, applying the Sutherland/Bass model through the NRL-G2S realization of the atmosphere in InfraMAP results in predicted amplitudes too small to be observed.

T1  - Influence of scattering, atmospheric refraction, and ground effect on sound propagation through a pine forest.
AN  - 742772794; pmid-17614470
AB  - Sound propagation through a forest is affected by the microclimate in the canopy, scattering by trunks and stems, and ground reflection. Each of these effects is such a strong contributor to the attenuation of sound that mutual interactions between the phenomena could become important. A sound propagation model for use in a forest has been developed that incorporates scattering from trunks and branches and atmospheric refraction by modifying the effective wave number in the Green's function parabolic equation model. The ground effect for a hard-backed pine straw layer is approximated as a local reaction impedance condition. Comparisons to experimental data are made for frequencies up to 4,200 Hz. Cumulative influences of the separate phenomena are examined. The method developed in this paper is compared to previously published methods. The overall comparison with spectral transmission data is good, suggesting that the model captures the necessary details.

T1  - Assessment of lead uptake in reptilian prey species.
AN  - 70551736; 17490716
AB  - As part of an investigation determining the trophically available fraction of metals in a model terrestrial food web, i.e., invertebrate prey to Western fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis), we evaluated the ability of several invertebrate prey to bioaccumulate lead and to form metals-rich granules, which are hypothesized to be non-available to predators. Crickets (Acheta domestica), tenebroid beetle larvae (Tenebrio molitor), and isopods (Porcellio scaber) were selected as model prey organisms. Lack of standard exposure methodologies for these species has presented a barrier to trophic transfer evaluations, as each species has particular requirements that create challenges for designing exposure conditions. We were able to devise exposure conditions for all three species that allow long-term exposure studies. All prey organisms accumulated lead from contaminated food, and for all species the majority of the accumulated Pb was associated with the exoskeleton (>50%), with metals-rich granules accounting for most of the remaining accumulated lead.

T1  - Tsunami forecast using an adaptive inverse algorithm for the Peru-Chile source region
AN  - 50151695; 2008-039779
AB  - The inverse method provides tsunami forecasts through regression of near-field water-level data against a set of mareograms computed for unit slip of predetermined subfaults. The present paper describes an improvement to this inverse method by resolving the timing of subfault movement in the inversion. This provides additional degrees of freedom in the regression analysis and accounts for rupture propagation and rise time of tsunamigenic earthquakes. The method is implemented for the Peru-Chile subduction zone, in which the seismic source parameters are deduced from previous studies of seismotectonics and historical earthquakes. A hindcast analysis of the 1995 Antofagasta-Chile tsunami demonstrates the capability of the adaptive inverse algorithm in improving the near-field inversion results and consequently the far-field forecast.

T1  - Transfer of Invasive Species Associated with the Movement of Military Equipment and Personnel
AN  - 20365842; 9047618
AB  - This document provides a general overview of the current process that exists to clean, inspect, and regulate the movement of invasive species through ports of embarkation and debarkation. The Department of Defense rapidly moves extensive quantities of personnel and equipment throughout the world and invasive species are hampering these operations. Every military unit that passes through a port of embarkation and debarkation is subjected to scrutiny and inspections to preclude the movement of invasive species from one region of the world to another. Depending on the region where personnel and equipment are moving, the inspection and cleaning process can last weeks, even for small units. The costs in time and money are generally overlooked and have often been attributed to another operational requirement; however, as countries increase their awareness of invasive species, these costs and commitment will rise. Information compiled during this project indicates that over half a million man hours and $16 million were needed to process 9 months of personnel and equipment through ports of embarkation in Kuwait during FY04. These requirements and costs will increase unless processes are established that assist the unit commanders in complying with requirements related to invasive species.

T1  - PASCAGOULA HARBOR NAVIGATION CHANNEL, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1985).
AN  - 36348341; 12778
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of authorized improvements to the Pascagoula Harbor Federal Navigation Project (Pascagoula Harbor Navigation Channel) in Jackson County, Mississippi is proposed. The Port of Pascagoula is Mississippi's largest port in terms of annual waterborne tonnage. The port also serves at the center of the state's fishing industry. This draft supplemental EIS updates the final EIS of July 1985, which evaluated the potential for widening and deepening the channels associated with the existing Pascagoula Harbor, as well as the 1991 final EIS on the designation of an ocean dredged material disposal site offshore of Pascagoula. The recommended improvements were completed in 1999, with the exception of the widening of the entrance channel to 550 feet and deepening of the upper Pascagoula Channel to 42 feet. Under the current proposal, the authorized channel dimensions would include widening the Gulf Entrance Chanel to 550 feet, deepen the Pascagoula Channel between Bayou Cassette Channel and a point one mile south of the rail bridge in the Pascagoula River to 43 feet, and deepen the Horn Island impoundment basin to 56 feet. In addition to the proposed action, this supplemental EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The additional channel and basin enlargements currently proposed would improve the economic efficiency of the port in moving commodities in and out of the harbor; increase navigational safety in Pascagoula River Harbor and Bayou Casotte Harbor, there by reducing hazards to life and property from accidents; and provide for appropriate disposal of dredged material generated by project improvements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and offshore disposal activities would result in the smothering of benthic invertebrates and the short-term loss of benthic habitat. Fin fish communities would also suffer temporary disruption, though to a lesser extent. The project would temporarily displace bivalves and sessile mollusks as well as crustaceans. Marine and coastal birds nesting and other habitat, including roosting habitat for federally protected piping plover, at the western end of Petit Bois Island could be disturbed. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) River and Harbor and Flood Control Act of 1962, and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662).

T1  - IMPLEMENTATION OF BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE (BRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS AND RELATED ARMY ACTIONS AT FORT BELVOIR, FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36346356; 12782
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of the base management plan for Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Virginia is proposed to assist in the implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations and related U.S. Army actions. The fort is currently operating under a 1993 management plan, which reflected the post's transition from primarily a support and training facility to its role as an administrative center providing support to multiple organizations in the National Capital Region. The updated management plan would address professional/institutional, residential open space, supply, storage, and maintenance, unaccompanied personal housing, and the functions of the South Post Golf Course and the Army Community Hospital. Six groups are to be realigned to Fort Belvoir, namely, 9,263 Washington Headquarters Services personnel, 8,500 ;National Geospatial Intelligence Agency personnel, 2,720 Army Lease personnel, 2,069 U.S. Medical Command (MEDCOM) personnel, 480 Program Executive Office, Enterprise Info Systems personnel, and 292 Missile Defense Agency Headquarters Command Center personnel. Implementation of the various aspects of the realignment would begin in Fiscal Year 2007 and continue through the end of Fiscal Year 2011. Four land use alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The preferred land use alternative would provide for 6.2 million additional square feet (msf) of building space and 7.0 msf of parking structures. In addition, the on-post general support capabilities would be expanded to meet the needs of a larger population. Specific new facility plans include the 2.4-msf National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Administrative Facility, 2.2-msf Washington Headquarters Services Administrative Facility, 107,000-sf Missile Defense Agency Facility, a new 868,800-sf hospital, 16,000-sf dental clinic, 50,000-sf North Atlantic Regional Medical Center Headquarters, 22,500-sf Corps of Engineers Project Integration Facility, 25,000-sf of infrastructure control and access control facilities in three structures, 14,700-sf emergency services center, 10,000-sf network operations center, 20,000-sf U.S. Army Nuclear and Chemical Agency Support Facility, 24,430-sf child development center with a 24,430-sf outdoor area to accommodate 244 children, a 24,000-sf second child development center with a 40,300-sf outdoor area to accommodate 303 children, a 306,000-sf access road control point, 230,000-sf Army Materiel Command Facility, 290,000-sf Program Executive Office, Enterprise Info System Administrative Facility, 400-space structured parking facility, a 52-space family travel camp for and recreational vehicle use. In addition, the facilities plan would include the renovation of the McRee Barracks Complex, which includes six barracks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at Fort Belvoir would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Base expansion would ad significantly to local and regional traffic congestion within one of the most congested metropolitan areas in the nation. As a result, local air quality would decline significantly. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be lost due to construction, particularly in the southern portion of the base and in designated special natural areas. Approximately 113 acres of natural habitat would be destroyed, including several stands of mature oak trees. Visual aesthetics within the base would decline due to the loss of natural area. Approximately 8,140 tons of demolition and construction debris would be generated by the preferred alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0007D, Volume 31, Number 1.

T1  - PLACER PARKWAY CORRIDOR PRESERVATION, SUTTER AND PLACER COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36341010; 12780
AB  - PURPOSE: The selection and acquisition of transportation rights-of-way within a 14.2- to 16.2-mile corridor for the future construction of Placer Parkway, a proposed east-west roadway linking State Route (SR) 65 and SR 70/99 in Sutter and Placer counties, California are proposed in this first tier draft programmatic EIS. Placer Parkway has been established as a high-priority regional transportation facility in the Sacramento Council of Governments' 2005 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the 2027 Placer County Regional Transportation Plan. The rights-of-way to be acquired would be a 500- to 1,000-foot-wide corridor within which a four- to six-lane parkway would be constructed. The 500-foot-wide sections would traverse the eastern and western segments of the corridor, while the 1,000-foot-wide section would lie between Pleasant Grove Road and Fiddyment Road, which is the central segment. Construction of the parkway would be subject to a separate environmental review. This EIS considers five alternative alignments and a No-Build Alternative. The selected corridor would contain the roadway, including the median, travel lanes, shoulders, associated access ramps, and a no-development buffer zone. Access to the parkway would be provided at its western and eastern ends, where existing areas of dense development are already located or planned. Access would be restricted for the seven-mile segment between Pleasant Grove Road and Fiddyment Road. Interchanges would be provided via SR 65 at Whitney Ranch Parkway, Foothills Boulevard, Fiddyment Road, one or two locations to be determined in southern Sutter County, and SR 70/99 at a point 0.5 mile north of Riego Road or at Sankey Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Placer Parkway would reduce anticipated congestion on both the local and regional road transportation system and advance the economic development goals established for southwestern Placer County and southern Sutter County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Acquisition of 1,672 to 1,918 acres of rights-of-way would displace 676.5 to 990 acres of farmland, including prime farmland, as well as 4.8 to 12.3 acres of riparian land, 269 to 370 acres of floodplain, 28 to 35.8 acres of wetlands, 107 to 127 acres of vernal pools. The rights-of-way would bisect 26 to 35 parcels of farmland. Impacts to federally protected species would include the loss of degradation of 268 to 340 acres of habitat for the garter snake, 3.3 to 7.9 acres of nesting habitat for Swainson's hawk and white-tailed kite, 759 to 10,244 acres of foraging habitat for Swainson's hawk, and 1.2 to 1.9 acres of valley elderberry longhorn beetle habitat. The parkway would increase impervious area by 622 to 745 acres within the corridor, increasing runoff and reducing percolation. The project could affect Reclamation District No. 1000 Rural Historic District, which is eligible for inclusion in the national Register of Historic Places. Three of the alternatives would also affect three other properties that might be eligible for inclusion in the Register. Traffic-generated noise levels associated with the parkway would exceed federal standards at one or two existing residences and an unknown number of residences within proposed residential developments. Construction workers would encounter three or four hazardous waste sites. Construction emissions would exceed local air quality standards for volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGULATION SCHEDULE STUDY, FLORIDA (REVISED DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF NOVEMBER 1999).
AN  - 36345638; 12769
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, Florida is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring 720 square miles in area. It is nationally renowned sport fishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee River estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving waterbodies, including the Everglades, which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1999. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by the final EIS of November 1999 would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. This revised draft supplemental EIS supports the proposed operational changes to the lake regulation schedule and provides additional planning in response to heavy rainfall and numerous hurricanes, resulting in higher than normal lake levels, since the publication of the final EIS. All alternatives evaluated in the draft and final EISs were based on criteria for managing Lake Okeechobee at a lower level than current water regulation schedule. The issue of public and health safety based on the integrity of the Herbert Hoover Dike (HDD) was also a key factor in the selection of the preferred alternative. The currently preferred alternative schedule would attempt to balance competing objectives, including flood control, water supply, navigation, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement. The schedule would be an interim measure until a new schedule to accommodate the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and related projects, the HHD see page berm construction or equivalent dike repairs are completed. Following rehabilitation of the HDD, the CERP would be operated under the new system-wide CERP schedule or under a new schedule providing storage equivalent to the existing Water Supply and Environment schedule. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas; increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries; and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and sea grasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in vegetative change from sawgrass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA #A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1465), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Flood Control Act of 1948 (P.L. 80-858), and Water Resources Development Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-640).

T1  - WATERWAY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO CREEK WATERSHED, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36341671; 12762
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a waterway management program for the San Luis Obispo Creek watershed in the city of San Luis Obispo and San Luis Obispo County, including the community of Avila Beach, is proposed. The program would consist of a combination of policies, programs, and plans to address, in a regional or watershed-wide manner, flooding and flood control along San Luis Obispo Creek and its tributaries. The program would be designed to allow the City/Zone 9 to obtain either an Army Corps of Engineers regional general permit or an individual permit for Category 1 and 2 activities described in the plan; Category 3 projects (capital improvements) would require second-tier environmental review. This programmatic draft EIS addresses the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and alternatives to the capital improvement program. Program elements and mitigation measures fall into the following categories: stream maintenance and management, bank stabilization and repair, channel design, constructed natural channel designs, bypass channel designs, modified channel designs, development drainage design standards, floodplain management policies, revegetation activities, exotic species control, riparian habitat improvement, aquatic improvement, and capital improvement projects. The EIS considers five capital improvement projects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Projects conducted under the management plan would reduce flooding, sedimentation, and bank and channel bed erosion and improve water quality and otherwise contribute to ecosystem restoration within the watershed. Development in the area would proceed as a planned, measured pace and to the extent amenable to watershed health and local economic needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Spawning gravels would be removed during stream improvements, and bank stabilization repair activities and various channel design and improvement measures would disturb aquatic habitat. Stockpiles of removed sediment, channel design alterations, the presence of bypass channels, and retention and other structures would mar visual aesthetics in the affected corridors. Private property, including structures, would be displaced and business practices would be impeded by channel work and construction of structures. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - MINNESOTA STEEL INDUSTRIES, LLC, TACONITE MINE, CONCENTRATOR, PELLET PLANT, DIRECT REDUCED IRON PLANT, AND STEEL MILL PROJECT, NASHWAUK, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36346279; 12760
AB  - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an open-pit taconite (iron oxide) mine, adjacent stockpile areas, and associated facilities at a site near Nashwauk, Minnesota on the Mesabi Iron Range are proposed. In addition to the mine and the stockpile areas, the applicant, Minnesota Steel Industries, LLC (MSI), would provide a crusher, concentrator, pellet plant, plant for producing direct reduced iron, and a steel mill consisting of two electric arc furnaces, two ladle furnaces, two thin slab casters, a hot strip rolling mill, and a new tailings basin on the site of the former Butler facility tailings basin. Existing haul roads would be utilized to transport overburden, waste rock, and lean ore to the stockpile area and taconite ore from the mine to the crusher. Under the proposal, MSI would reactivate the former Butler Teconite mine and tailings basin, which was active from 1967 to 1985. Viable ore remains on-site. MSI's proposal would combine ore processing, direct reduce iron (DRI) production, and steel-making into an integrated facility to provide steel for domestic and world markets. The new technology to be employed takes advantage of efficiencies gained by having a continuous flow of materials, keeping the material at an elevated temperature throughout the process, and eliminating multiple transportation steps. Key project facilities would include the open-pit mine, capable of providing 12.1 million metric tons of taconite ore per year; a crusher/concentrator plant with an associated tailings basin, capable of producing 3.8 million metric tons of concentrate per year; a pelletizer capable of producing 3.8 million metric tons of oxide pellets per year for use as feedstock for DRI production, or sold; a DRI facility capable of producing 2.8 million metric tons of iron pellets per year for direct feed for steel production; and electric arc furnaces, ladle metallurgy furnace, slag processor, and caster to produce 2.5 million metric tons per year of steel slabs for direct shipment or for rolling to produce hot-rolled steel. Under normal operations, approximately 3.4 tons of crude ore would be converted to 1.35 tons of taconite pellets, which in turn, would be converted to 1.12 tons of DRI pellets and one ton of finished product. The operation would obtain its magnetic taconite ore from a horizon within the Lower Cherty member of the Biwabik Iron Formation; the inferred ore reserves at the site are estimated at 1.4 billion tons, which translates to 100 years of reserves based on the proposed production capacity. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, alternative sites, alternative technologies, modified designs and layouts, modified scales and magnitudes of operation, and alternatives that incorporate mitigation measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would combine modern, commercially proven technologies to allow for production of steel from taconite ore in less than 48 hours entirely within the project site. The project would integrate the steps necessary to make low-cost, high-quality steel at a currently closed taconite site. The reactivated facility would employ 700 workers for production, support, and administration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the existing wildlife habitat within the mining and waste storage site would be disturbed or destroyed. Mine and mill development would displace wetlands, and additional acreage would be hydrologically impacted though not displaced. Deepwater habitats present within the former pits would be temporarily affected by dewatering from the proposed project, and dewatering would have minor impacts on aquifers in the area. Dust and noise levels would be significant around the site. Water pollutants, including mercury, would be released into surface and subsurface flows, but no violations of water quality standards are expected. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0063D, Volume 31, Number 1.

T1  - TH 41 MINNESOTA RIVER CROSSING (A FUTURE US 169/US 212 REGIONAL FREEWAY CONNECTION), SCOTT AND CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36340625; 12759
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new Minnesota River crossing connecting US 169 in Scott County to New US 212 in Carver County, Minnesota is proposed. The study area, which lies in the southwestern portion of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, is bordered on the north by New US 212, on the south by US 169, on the west by County State Highway 14, and on the east by Highway 101. Both US 212 and US 169 are state principal arterials, running parallel to the Minnesota River on the north and south sides of the channel. Both facilities are designated as a high priority interregional corridor and are included in the National Highway System. Highway 101 is a two-lane facility that connects downtown Shakopee and US 212. This draft EIS considers a No=Build Alternative and six build alternatives. Each of the build alternatives would provide a freeway-level facility with interchanges at US 169 and New US 212. Depending on the build alternative chosen, cost of the project ranges from $380 million to $620 million. Project implementation is excepted to commence in 2008. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By adding a regional sixth river crossing, the project would significantly increase crossing capacity in for Twin Cities residents and improve access between two major arterials that carry both regional and interregional traffic, including significant freight, tourist, and commuter traffic. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 194 to 360 acres of new rights-of-way would result in the displacement of seven to 144 residences, nine to 17 farm operations, seven to 56 industrial and commercial units, nine to 39 public facilities, and one to 15 other developments; from 999 to 134 jobs would be displaced. Potential displacement of 18 to 182 minority households in one to three communities would place a disproportionate burden on the affected communities. Rights-of-way losses would include up to 36.1 acres within the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and up to 30.6 acres within the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area/Minnesota Valley Trails and encroachment in various other trails and recreational facilities and areas. Federally protected fish and shellfish species could be affected. Forested areas and areas containing other naturally occurring vegetation would be lost, and nine to 15.7 acres of wetland would be lost. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed state standards at five to 12 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter three to nine contaminated waste sites. 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.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - DESERT ROCK ENERGY PROJECT, SAN JUAN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO.
AN  - 36340505; 12755
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a coal-fired 1,500-megawatt (MW) power plant and associated facilities on land leased from the Navajo Nation and extension of surface coal mining within the BHP Navajo Coal Company (BNCC) lease area of the Navajo Indian Reservation in San Juan County, New Mexico are proposed. The Desert Rock Energy Project site lies 30 miles southwest of Farmington. The project would require the conclusion of a long-term (50-year) lease between the Navajo Nation and Dine Power Authority (DPA), and a corresponding sublease between DPA and Desert Rock Energy Company LLC, a subsidiary of Sithe Global Power LLC. The power plant, which would site would lie east of the Chaco River and north of Pinabette Wash, would be a supercritical pulverized-coal facility, employing a single reheat, supercritical steam cycle and other design features to enable it to operate with greater net efficiency than existing coal-fired power plants in the region. Air pollutants would be reduced through the use of high-technology emission control devices. Access to the plant site would be from Burnham Road and would run west across the BNCC lease area. Water for cooling, other plant purposes, and Navajo municipal uses would be taken from the Morrison aquifer via 10 to 20 new production wells sunk over a 890-acre well field within the lease site. Water from the aquifer would be piped the 12.4 miles to the plant site and stored in a 2.5-million-gallon storage tank. Two single-circuit, 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines, each requiring a 250-foot-wide rights-of-way, would leave the plant site and run parallel to the east side of the Chaco River in a northerly direction for approximately 14.9 miles to Arizona Public Service's Four Corners Generation Station. From the generation station, one single-circuit, 500-kV transmission line would extend parallel to an existing 230-kV line across the San Juan River to interconnect with the proposed Navajo Transmission Project line, a distance of 10.8 miles. The typical structural supports for the lines would be four-legged, steel-lattice towers approximately 135 feet in height, with a nominal spacing of 1,200 to 1,600 feet between structures. The surface mine, which would also be located within the lease area, would deliver 6.2 million tons of coal per year over the 50-year life of the power plant. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, the construction of a 750-MW, single-unit coal-fired power plant on the project site, alternative power plant site locations, alternative transmission line routes, alternative well field sites, and alternative access road alignments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The power plant and surface mine would support the Navajo Nation's objectives for economic development by providing long-term employment opportunities and revenue cash-flow streams from the development of Navajo natural resources. The facility would help meet demands for electrical power in the rapidly growing southwestern United States and increase the diversity of fuel sources to create a more economically stable and predictable energy supply scenario. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The lease site would displace 592 acres, but the plant footprint would only cover 149 acres. Coal preparation facilities within the lease area would cover a further 101 acres. Nevertheless, 16,996 acres of vegetation and soils and the associated wildlife habitat would be cleared from the plant and mine areas over the life of the project, and recreational uses and livestock grazing on the site would cease. Transmission rights-of-way would traverse agricultural lands, but this would have little impact on farming operations. Average annual water consumption for the plant, which would have a useful life of 50 years, would be 4,500 acre-feet, resulting in drawdown of the Morrison aquifer. An a additional 450 acre feet would be withdrawn from the aquifer via the well field to meet Navajo municipal demand. Mining operations would generate significant levels of particulate emissions, and operation of the power plant would generate particulates, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds, but federal standards would not be exceeded. Any deterioration in air quality would be disproportionately experienced by the local Navajo population, resulting in a violation of environmental justice criteria. Five archaeological and historical properties were identified along transmission line rights-of-way. Traditional Navajo cultural sites and burial sites would be affected. The plant and mining areas could contain sites of paleontological interest. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Order 12898, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.).

T1  - PINYON CANYON MANEUVER SITE TRANSFORMATION, FORT CARSON, COLORADO.
AN  - 36350417; 12753
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the U.S. Army Military transformation programs at the Pinyon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) of Fort Carson, Colorado is proposed. The Army is currently undergoing transformational activities across the full spectrum of military operations to respond more rapidly to enemy threats. These changes will affect most, if not all, aspects of the Army's doctrine, training, leader development, organizations, installations, materiel acquisition and fielding, and personnel. The transformation programs, which are based on the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (also known as the Global Defense Posture Realignment), and the Army Modular Force, are needed to prepare the Army's combat forces for deployment around the world. The proposed action would support the training of 8,500 additional soldiers at the PCMS, requiring construction and increased use of training areas. The 235,000-acre PCMS, which is located 150 miles southwest of Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, is used to prepare soldiers for operational deployments and missions, including small-arms, live-fire, and maneuver training exercises. The primary PCMS mission is to support maneuver training for large ground forces. Ground forces need large, contiguous maneuver and training areas with urban warfare training complexes to support "free-flowing" exercises that replicate the contemporary operating environment. Under the proposal, the Army would continue to maintain the withdrawal of 2,517.12 acres of public land and 130,139 acres of public-owned land with mineral rights attached from the public domain; the withdrawal of these lands was extended until 2011 by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997, which requires the Army to reevaluate the need for these withdrawals to continue after 2011. The withdrawals would support the training of additional Active Component troops stationed at Fort Carson and support additional training for Reserve Component units. Approximately 23,000 military personnel would be permanently stationed at Fort Carson for training within the PCMS; this represents an increase of 8,500 soldiers, including two brigade combat teams and other support units. Training and maneuver activities would be similar to those now occurring on the PCMS, though the frequency of use of the area would increase significantly. The area would also offer a training site for thousands of National Guard and Reserve Component troops. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continued operation and improvement of the PCMS would train troops to provide security across vast operational areas while responding to the full range of unpredictable enemy activities with a disciplined and measured response on a moment's notice. The land and environmental management programs associated with the PCMS would provide for effective natural resource management and for sustainable stewardship of the training area. The influx of personnel would result in greater personal and military expenditures in the region, boosting numerous local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly all of the vegetated areas and associated soils and wildlife habitat on the maneuver training area could be disturbed during training exercises. Denuded areas would be prone to wind and water erosion. Loss mobile and burrowing wildlife species could be directly affected by movements of troops and vehicles and the explosion of ordnance and munitions. Archaeological and paleontological resource sites could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed. Maneuvers would result in the release of air pollutants and the emission of high-volume noise from vehicles and explosions. Munitions, fuel, and other toxic materials would be released into the environment both intentionally and accidently. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005 and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (P.L. 104-201). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 06-0478D, Volume 30, Number 3.

T1  - FORT CARSON TRANSFORMATION, EL PASO, PUEBLO, AND FREMONT COUNTIES, COLORADO.
AN  - 36341161; 12754
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the U.S. Army Military Transformation Program Fort Carson, Colorado is proposed. The Army is currently undergoing transformational activities across the full spectrum of military operations to respond more rapidly to enemy threats. These changes will affect most, if not all, aspects of the Army's doctrine, training, leader development, organizations, installations, materiel acquisition and fielding, and personnel. The transformation programs, which are based on the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (also known as the Global Defense Posture Realignment), and the Army Modular Force, are needed to prepare the Army's combat forces for deployment around the world. The proposed action would support the training of 8,500 additional soldiers at the PCMS, providing facilities for the additional soldiers and their dependents, and increasing the frequency of maneuver and live-fire training. Approximately 23,000 military personnel would be permanently stationed at Fort Carson for training ; this represents and increase of 8,500 soldiers, including two brigade combat teams and other support units. Training and maneuver activities would be similar to those now occurring, though the frequency of use of the area would increase significantly. The fort would also offer a training site for thousands of National Guard and Reserve Component troops. The transformation measures would include 25 construction and renovation projects at a cost of $300 million. In conjunction with these construction projects, the Army proposes the demolition of seven buildings and one warehouse. The transformation project also encompasses a number of construction projects already underway at Fort Carson. In addition to the proposed actions, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Cost of facility construction for implementation of the transformation measures, which would extend from 2006 to 2011, is estimated at $1.2 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transformation program at Fort Carson cohere with other such programs around the country, improving the efficiency, increasing the responsiveness, and enhancing the effectiveness of the installation's contribution to the defense of the country in rapidly changing military and non-military threat situations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation would be removed and soil structures and topographies significantly altered where new facilities are constructed to house and provide services to soldiers and their families. All of the vegetated areas and associated soils and wildlife habitat on the maneuver training area could be disturbed during training exercises. Denuded areas would be prone to wind and water erosion. Loss mobile and burrowing wildlife species could be directly affected by movements of troops and vehicles and the explosion of ordnance and munitions.

T1  - DAM SAFETY ASSURANCE PROGRAM EVALUATION REPORT, DOVER DAM, CITY OF DOVER, TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO.
AN  - 36341470; 12744
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to Dover Dam near the city of Dover, Tuscarawas County, Ohio is proposed. The dam, located on the Tuscarawas River approximately 3.5 miles northeast of the city of Dover completed in 1937, consists of a concrete gravity dry dam with a maximum flood control pool elevation of 916 feet above mean sea level. The structure is 820 feet in length and 83 feet in height, with a drainage area of 1,397 square miles. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway in the center channel. Outlet works are located at the base of the spillway section and 18 gate-controlled sluices in sets of six are situated at three different levels. The stilling basin is divided into three elevations, separated by walls, which correspond to the three levels of the conduits of sluices. This high-hazard dam does not conform to current design standards related to stability and sliding during a probable maximum flood. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The recommended alternative would involve raising the existing non-overflow sections with concrete parapet walls, installation of anchors in the spillway and development of a stilling basin to address inadequate bedrock foundation and potential for sliding. Alternative 2 would modify the existing non-overflow section of the dam to withstand overtopping as well as the installation of anchors in the spillway and development of the stilling basin proposed under alternative 1. Costs of raising the dam and modifying the non-overflow section of the dam are estimated at $105.7 million and $114.1 million, respectively; respective benefit-cost ratios are estimated at 2.8 and 2.46. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended alternative would provide a cost-effective, environmentally sound means of upgrading Dover Dam to meet current design standards and address stability issues associated with the dam's inadequate bedrock foundation. This would provide adequate flood protection to downstream areas as well as project-related facilities, including the adjacent park and Ohio Route 800. Either action alternative would provide annual benefits valued at $15.9 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation under the recommended alternative would result in the loss of 2.6 acres of riparian forest. Instream impacts could affect endangered species of mussels during construction. Abutment decks would permanently obstruct upstream viewing of the river, and the construction of walls across Route 800 and on abutment decks would significantly mar area visual aesthetics. Modification of the dam would involve alteration of a site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) and Public Works Appropriations (P.L. 94-355). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 07-0173D, Volume 31, Number 1.

T1  - Climate change and its effects on runoff at the headwaters of the Kaidu River
AN  - 886906724; 2011-073930
AB  - Based on data observed at the Bayanbulak Hydrological Station and the Bayanbulak Meteorological Station from 1960 to 2005, the characteristics of climate change and the response of runoff to climate change at the headwaters of the Kaidu River were analyzed. It was found that the mean annual temperature is rising, and annual precipitation shows obvious differencees. The observed records at Bayanbulak Meteorological Station indicate precipitation has been increasing obviously since 1989. Precipitation and temperature are the main factors which resulted in changes in runoff. The correlation coefficient of annual precipitation and runoff is the largest, at 0.73. The correlation coefficient between the mean annual temperature and runoff is 0.36. When precipitation is a constant, runoff decreases with rising temperature; when temperature is a constant, runoff increases with increasing precipitation, but runoff will increase when both precipitation and temperature increase.

T1  - NYS ROUTE 17 AT EXIT 122, TOWN OF WALLKILL, ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK.
AN  - 754904690; 14424
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Exit 22 interchange on New York State Route (NYS 17 to interstate highway standards in the town off Wallkill, Orange County, New York is proposed. The existing interchange is characterized by very sharp curves on its ramps and is also affected by the proximity of the exit and entrance ramps to the Interstate 84 (I-84) ramps, which results in a high accident rate , particularly westbound. Traffic movements are also slowed by delays at the ramp intersections with Crystal Run Road and East Main Street and the steep grade of East Main Street. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Four of the build alternatives, including the preferred alternative, are variations on a similar theme for the exit, differing in their approach to the relocation of East Main Street and Crystal Run Road. The fifth build alternative would take a different approach for the exit and keep Crystal Run Road close to its existing location. All build alternatives would include the construction of a canoe launch near Midway Road. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $83 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve Exit 122 to meet federal standards for an interstate exit, improve NYS 17 to meet federal interstate standards, and improve the operational safety of NYS 17, Crystal Run Road, and East Main Street for existing traffic volumes and for reasonably foreseeable increases in traffic volumes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace five businesses, and one residence. Natural resources to be affected would include 2.1 acres of wetlands and 15.4 acres of forested land. All build alternatives would have a minor impact on the 100-year floodplain of the Wallkill River; 3.1 acres of the floodplain would suffer encroachment. Eight archaeological sites would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of one residential receptor site. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Post-Katrina fecal contamination in Violet Marsh near New Orleans.
AN  - 70699879; 17617670
AB  - Fecal material entrained in New Orleans flood waters was pumped into the local environment. Violet Marsh received water pumped from St. Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward. Sediment core samples were collected from canals conducting water from these areas to pump stations and from locations within Violet Marsh. Viable indicator bacteria and fecal sterols were used to assess the levels of fecal material in sediment deposited after the levee failures and deeper sediments deposited before. Most of the cores had fecal coliform levels that exceed the biosolids criterion. All of the cores had fecal sterols that exceeded the suggested environmental quality criterion. Our data show both a long history of fecal contamination in Violet Marsh and an increase in fecal loading corresponding to the failure of the levee system. The work was performed as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force investigation into the consequences of the failures of the New Orleans levee system.

T1  - Environmental Consequences of the Failure of the New Orleans Levee System During Hurricane Katrina: Microbiological Analysis
AN  - 21066856; 9047344
AB  - Multiple failures of the levee system protection for the City of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 led to the flooding of the metropolitan area. The floodwaters and sediments contained some dissolved and entrained chemical and microbial contaminants. Subsequent pumping of floodwater from the city to the adjacent environment and the ongoing removal of sediment and sediment-coated debris are potential mechanisms to distribute these contaminants to the local environment. The recalcitrant hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) was used as an indicator of hydrophobic organic contaminants and microbial and sterol indicators of fecal material to assess sources and sinks of these classes of contaminants. These data provided a basis for contaminant transport and fate models. Additionally, this report specifically focuses on the Violet Marsh area outside the levee from the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans and on the Chalmette area of St. Bernard Parish, looking at potential environmental impacts. Water fecal coliform counts (colony forming units (cfu) per 100 mL of water) ranged from 100 to 490,000 (mean=21,381, standard deviation =74,541, median=2,200) in New Orleans proper, 10 to 30,000 (mean =3,308, SD=8,093, median=2oo) in New Orleans East, and 17 to 25,000 (mean=1,287, SD=4,381, median= 100) in St. Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward polders. The LADEQ primary contact recreational water quality criterion for fecal coliforms is 400 cfu/100 mL. Floodwater in all three polders frequently exceeded this standard, and no trend (increasing or decreasing cfu/100 mL) was evident with time as the water was pumped out. BaP levels in water ( mu g/L) were all non-detect except one data point at 0.42 mu g/L in New Orleans proper. BaP is a hydrophobic organic contaminant that would tend to sorb to sediment particles and settle from the water standing in the city. Comparison of the levels of indicators in the surface of sediment cores to those in the bottoms of the cores shows that Violet Marsh has had a history of fecal and BaP contamination, much presumably coming primarily from the sewage treatment plant that drains into Bayou Bienvenue. The flooding of New Orleans and the subsequent pumpout resulted in higher levels of fecal material and BaP in the surface sediments of the marsh and a wider distribution of these contaminants throughout the marsh.

T1  - Effect of Treatment pH on the End Products of the Alkaline Hydrolysis of TNT and RDX
AN  - 20367670; 9048609
AB  - The development of effective treatment options for munitions contaminants is essential for Department of Defense live fire range management and sustainability. The energetic compounds 2,4,6-trinitotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-13,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) have been identified in range soil. Alkaline hydrolysis, initiated through treatment with lime, has been shown to effectively destroy these compounds in solution and in well-mixed soil. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of treatment pH on the end products of the alkaline hydrolysis of TNT and RDX. Titrations were performed at pH 10.5,11.5 and 12.5 using unlabeled and universally labeled- super(14)C-TNT or RDX. At the completion of the titra-tion, reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography established that there was no TNT or RDX present in the solutions except for the untreated control. TNT degraded rapidly at pH 12.5 and 11.5. At pH 10.5, the degradation was slow enough to observe many intermediate products, only some of which were identifiable under standard Method 8330 methods. RDX also degraded rapidly at pH 12.5 and 11.5. At pH 10.5, the reaction appeared to proceed by the established pathway, but at a much slower rate. Using gel permeation chromatography, we determined that the end products from the TNT and RDX alkaline hydrolysis were polar, small molecular weight compounds. Hydrolysis byproducts, including nitrate and formate, were determined using ion chromatography.

T1  - Engineering Considerations for Hydroxide Treatment of Training Ranges
AN  - 20366811; 9047329
AB  - The use of hydrated lime has the potential to be an effective in situ technology for the destruction and containment of explosives contamination. This was proven with the results from the SERDP project CU-1230, where it was shown to rapidly degrade RDX and TNT. However, prior to field deployment of this technology additional experimental work was required to address concerns regarding the mechanism of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction, the character of the final products of the reaction, the potential for biodegradation of the reaction products, and the amount of lime required for alkaline hydrolysis in different soils. The results can be summarized as follows. First, spectroscopic studies of the TNT alkaline hydrolysis reaction identified two well-resolved and spectrally distinct reaction intermediates. A single radical species was formed during the TNT-hydroxide reaction that correlated with the second reaction intermediate. Second, TNT and RDX degraded rapidly through alkaline hydrolysis at pH 12.5. The end products of the reaction were low water-soluble molecular weight compounds that included nitrate and formate. No polymer formation was observed under these reaction conditions. Third, anaerobic and aerobic incubation of neutralized hydrolysis reaction mixtures with range soil showed that there is a high potential for biodegradation. This was evidenced by mineralization of reaction end products (production of [ super(14)C]-labeled carbon dioxide) and a decrease in nitrite and nitrate concentrations. Fourth, a simple method to predict the lime required by different soils under different environmental and contamination conditions was developed based on current ASTM methods for raising soil pH. A guidance document was prepared to provide site managers a means to easily and inexpensively determine the lime dosage required to raise pH to levels required for munitions and metals remediation.

T1  - Modeling interactions of submersed plant biomass and environmental factors in a stream using structural equation modeling
AN  - 19639714; 7379267
AB  - This study investigated the interactions of submersed plants with environmental factors using structural equation modeling (SEM) and evaluated the effect strength of respective factors in an aquatic ecosystem using a data set collected at a fourth order stream in Japan. A model that simultaneously examines the relative importance of factors of the system has developed. The investigated factors included plant biomass (Biomass) of submersed macrophytes (Potamogeton malaianus and Potamogeton oxyphyllus) and other environmental factors, i.e. water velocity and water depth (Hydraulic), pore water nitrogen (TNL), pore water phosphorus (TPL), sediment organic matter (Organic) and sediment particle size (Texture). The estimated model showed that the Biomass was negatively correlated with Hydraulic but positively correlated with Organic whilst TNL and TPL affected the Biomass with almost equal strength. The effects caused by Hydraulic to Texture were greater than the ones caused by Biomass. At the narrow ranges of water velocity (0-7 cm s super(-1)) and shallow depth (0-35 cm), the effect of wash-away of Organic by Hydraulic were smaller than the retention effect of Organic by Biomass. These results provide more insights into interactions of the submersed macrophytes with environmental factors.

T1  - A GIS framework for surface-layer soil moisture estimation combining satellite radar measurements and land surface modeling with soil physical property estimation
AN  - 19620344; 7339773
AB  - A GIS framework, the Army Remote Moisture System (ARMS), has been developed to link the Land Information System (LIS), a high performance land surface modeling and data assimilation system, with remotely sensed measurements of soil moisture to provide a high resolution estimation of soil moisture in the near surface. ARMS uses available soil (soil texture, porosity, K sub(sat)), land cover (vegetation type, LAI, Fraction of Greenness), and atmospheric data (Albedo) in standardized vector and raster GIS data formats at multiple scales, in addition to climatological forcing data and precipitation. PEST (Parameter EStimation Tool) was integrated into the process to optimize soil porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sub(sat)), using the remotely sensed measurements, in order to provide a more accurate estimate of the soil moisture. The modeling process is controlled by the user through a graphical interface developed as part of the ArcMap component of ESRI ArcGIS.

T1  - Separate and interactive effects of competition and herbivory on the growth, expansion, and tuber formation of Hydrilla verticillata
AN  - 19603064; 8548929
AB  - This study examined the interaction and main-effect impacts of herbivory by the leaf-mining fly Hydrellia pakistanae and plant competition from Vallisneria americana on the growth, expansion and tuber formation of Hydrilla verticillata in a 2 X 2 factorial design experiment. The study was conducted in 14,000-L tanks, over two growing seasons. Each tank represented a single experimental unit and contained 32 1-L pots. At the beginning of the experiment half of these were planted with H. verticillata while the other half were either left empty or planted with V. americana (the competitor). H. pakistanae fly larvae (the herbivore) were added to tanks as appropriate. No significant interactions were identified between herbivory and competition on any parameter of H. verticillata growth analyzed (i.e., total tank biomass accumulation, total number of rooting stems, total tuber number, total tuber mass, and tuber size), indicating that the factors were operating independently and neither antagonism nor synergism was occurring. Both competition and herbivory impacted the growth of H. verticillata. H. verticillata plants grown in the presence of V. americana developed less total biomass, had fewer total basal stems, had fewer tubers and less tuber mass per tank, and produced significantly smaller tubers relative to control plants. Herbivory also suppressed H. verticillata biomass accumulation and tended to suppress the number and total mass of tubers produced in each tank. Both factors showed 30-40% reduction of total H. verticillata biomass, although the mechanism of impact was different. Competition suppressed expansion of H. verticillata into adjoining pots but had little impact on its growth in pots where it was originally planted. Herbivory resulted in a general suppression of growth of H. verticillata in all pots. Although herbivory significantly impacted H. verticillata biomass, it did not result in competitive release for V. americana under the current experimental conditions. We conclude that management activities that promote competition or herbivory will impact the growth and expansion of H. verticillata. Furthermore, since these factors operated independently, the combined use of both factors should be beneficial for suppression of H. verticillata dominance.

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi is proposed. The applicant, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, wishes to transport natural gas from production fields in eastern Texas to markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwestern, Northeastern, and Southeastern United States. The system contemplated by the applicant, would include 240 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastward from DeSoto Parish in Louisiana to Simpson County in Mississippi; 3.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Gulf South's existing Carthage Junction compressor station in Panola County, Texas to interconnects with existing natural gas facilities within Panola County; new compressor stations, one each in Ouachita and Madison parishes, Louisiana; modifications to existing compressor stations at Carthage Junction in Panola County, Hall Summit in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and McComb in Walthall County, Mississippi; and ancillary facilities including six meter and regulator facilities, 11 mainline valves, nine side valves, and six pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, energy conservation technologies and practices, a major pipeline route alternative and minor route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would be capable of 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the applicant's target markets, improving the reliability of natural gas delivery in those markets and helping to reduce the dependency of the United States on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cross 848 surface waterbodies and 301 wetlands, disturbing approximately 114.9 areas of wetlands. Conventional open-cut construction would be used to cross all but 64 of these waterbodies, which would be crossed using horizontal directional drilling. Special-status and high-quality wetlands , including wetlands in the National Resource Conservation Service-administered Wetland Reserve Program and Prior Converted Wetlands program, as well as several high-quality forested wetlands, would be affected by construction and operation of the system. Numerous acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way during operation. The pipelines would pass in the vicinity of several recreational and special interest areas, including the Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, the Pearl and Black rivers, Black Lake Bayou and Saline Bayou, the Natchez Trace Parkway, and the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C. 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cross 848 surface waterbodies and 301 wetlands, disturbing approximately 114.9 areas of wetlands. Conventional open-cut construction would be used to cross all but 64 of these waterbodies, which would be crossed using horizontal directional drilling. Special-status and high-quality wetlands , including wetlands in the National Resource Conservation Service-administered Wetland Reserve Program and Prior Converted Wetlands program, as well as several high-quality forested wetlands, would be affected by construction and operation of the system. Numerous acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way during operation. The pipelines would pass in the vicinity of several recreational and special interest areas, including the Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, the Pearl and Black rivers, Black Lake Bayou and Saline Bayou, the Natchez Trace Parkway, and the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974(22 U.S.C. 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi is proposed. The applicant, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, wishes to transport natural gas from production fields in eastern Texas to markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwestern, Northeastern, and Southeastern United States. The system contemplated by the applicant, would include 240 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastward from DeSoto Parish in Louisiana to Simpson County in Mississippi; 3.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Gulf South's existing Carthage Junction compressor station in Panola County, Texas to interconnects with existing natural gas facilities within Panola County; new compressor stations, one each in Ouachita and Madison parishes, Louisiana; modifications to existing compressor stations at Carthage Junction in Panola County, Hall Summit in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and McComb in Walthall County, Mississippi; and ancillary facilities including six meter and regulator facilities, 11 mainline valves, nine side valves, and six pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, energy conservation technologies and practices, a major pipeline route alternative and minor route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives.

T2  - US 59 -- AMELIA EARHART MEMORIAL BRIDGE OVER THE MISSOURI RIVER, ATCHISON, KANSAS TO US 59/STATE ROUTE 45 INTERSECTION IN BUCHANAN COUNTY, MISSOURI.
AN  - 756824468; 12851-070201_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The replacement of the two-lane Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge with a four-lane structure across the Missouri River in the vicinity of Atchison, Kansas is proposed to connect Atchison with Buchanan County, Missouri. The 4.2-mile study corridor extends from Atchison to the US 59/Route 45 intersection in Missouri. The existing bridge connects US 59, a four-lane urban arterial adjacent to downtown Atchison to a two-lane rural arterial section of US 59 in Buchanan County, just northwest of Winthrop. The existing crossing does not meet current design criteria for width and load capacity and requires costly maintenance measures. A scour hole has developed north of the center bridge pier. Project traffic volumes warrant a four-lane crossing. Five alternatives were considered preliminarily, including a No-Build Alternative, a transportation systems alternative, a mass transit Alternative, upgrading of the existing bridge, and the a new build Alternative, which includes eight options, including construction of a new two-lane bridge with replacement or rehabilitation of the existing bridge and construction of a new four-lane bridge upstream or downstream of the existing bridge. Two build alternatives and the No-Build Alternative are considered in detail in this final EIS. Build alternatives under detailed consideration include construction of a new two-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge (Alternative 4H Rehabilitation), which is the preferred alternative, and retention of the rehabilitated two-lane bridge and replacement of the existing bridge with a four-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing structure (Alternative 4H Replacement). Estimated costs of alternatives 4H Rehabilitation and 4H Replacement $98.3 million and $88 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either build Alternative would provide a structurally sound, operationally efficient, economically feasible, and safe Missouri River crossing. The bridge or bridges would accommodate economically sustainable future development within the area and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 4H Rehabilitation Alternative would result in the retention of a bridge that would be difficult to replace in the future, and the potential for barge impacts would be high. Both build alternatives would displace a section of floodplain over 5,300 feet wide. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 31.8 to 35.8 acres of farmland, 30.5 to 32.2 acres of prime farmland, two to three acres of Atchison Casting, eight residences, eight to 11 commercial units, 18 acres of wetlands, 83.2 to 88.7 acres of floodplain, 2.1 acres of forest, and habitat for two federally protected species. Demolition of the bridge under the Replacement Alternative would result in the loss of a historically significant structure, and the Alternative would affect six other potentially significant structures. The Rehabilitation Alternative would affect five potentially significant structures. Construction workers would encounter two or three hazardous materials storage tanks. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - WILMINGTON BYPASS US 17 TO US 421, BRUNSWICK AND NEW HANOVER COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. [Part 1 of 4]
T2  - WILMINGTON BYPASS US 17 TO US 421, BRUNSWICK AND NEW HANOVER COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 756824620; 12849-070199_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 14.2-mile section of the Wilmington Bypass from US 17 in Brunswick County to US 421 in New Hanover County in the southeastern part of North Carolina, is proposed. Currently, through traffic on US 17 and I-40 must pass through the central business district of Wilmington. If the proposed bypass were not constructed, existing roads and bridges would continue to operate at undesirable levels of service. At the present time, traffic along US 17/74/76 is routed across the Cape Fear River lift-span bridge near downtown Wilmington. When the bridge is in the upright position, traffic is stopped in both directions, adding to congestion and delays. The project would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided, controlled-access freeway to the northwest of Wilmington. The construction of an adjoining 7.8-mile section of the bypass is being considered in a separate EIS. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Each of the build alternatives would provide an additional crossing of the Cape Fear River, alleviating some of the traffic crossing the existing lift-span bridge. The bridge construction would require that several piers be constructed in the wetlands surrounding the river and also require that the main span piers be constructed on waterline footings within the river. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would follow an alignment extending northward from Bishop to parallel the military road turnaround yard, at which point it would diverge to follow a northeast alignment at the Davis Yard to terminate at US 421. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $280.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve access around the city of Wilmington; it also would have local importance as a means of relieving traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington by separating local traffic from through traffic. The project would likely benefit the regional economy by facilitating access to major industries and trade centers. It would also benefit the Marine Corps by expediting the movement of military equipment into and out of Camp Lejeune. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 16 residences and nine businesses. The alignment would cross seven major electric transmission lines, three water lines, two gas lines, and 20 streams. Water quality in surrounding streams would be temporarily degraded due to construction-related soil erosion. Chemicals and hazardous materials accidentally spilled during transport could also degrade water quality. Construction would adversely impact seven acres of 36 acres farmland, 124 acres of mesic pine flatwoods, 77 acres of pine/scrub oak, 42 acres of mesic mixed hardwood forest, 67 acres of wet pine flatwoods, 11 acres of coastal plain bottomland hardwoods, four acres of small stream swamp, 42 acres of pocosin/streambed pocosin vegetation, 120 acres of altered natural vegetation communities, 75 acres of urban land, and nine acres of maintained utility rights-of-way. One archaeological site would be affected.

AN  - 756824541; 12849-070199_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 14.2-mile section of the Wilmington Bypass from US 17 in Brunswick County to US 421 in New Hanover County in the southeastern part of North Carolina, is proposed. Currently, through traffic on US 17 and I-40 must pass through the central business district of Wilmington. If the proposed bypass were not constructed, existing roads and bridges would continue to operate at undesirable levels of service. At the present time, traffic along US 17/74/76 is routed across the Cape Fear River lift-span bridge near downtown Wilmington. When the bridge is in the upright position, traffic is stopped in both directions, adding to congestion and delays. The project would involve the construction of a four-lane, divided, controlled-access freeway to the northwest of Wilmington. The construction of an adjoining 7.8-mile section of the bypass is being considered in a separate EIS. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Each of the build alternatives would provide an additional crossing of the Cape Fear River, alleviating some of the traffic crossing the existing lift-span bridge. The bridge construction would require that several piers be constructed in the wetlands surrounding the river and also require that the main span piers be constructed on waterline footings within the river. The preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would follow an alignment extending northward from Bishop to parallel the military road turnaround yard, at which point it would diverge to follow a northeast alignment at the Davis Yard to terminate at US 421. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $280.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would improve access around the city of Wilmington; it also would have local importance as a means of relieving traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington by separating local traffic from through traffic. The project would likely benefit the regional economy by facilitating access to major industries and trade centers. It would also benefit the Marine Corps by expediting the movement of military equipment into and out of Camp Lejeune. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 16 residences and nine businesses. The alignment would cross seven major electric transmission lines, three water lines, two gas lines, and 20 streams. Water quality in surrounding streams would be temporarily degraded due to construction-related soil erosion.

T1  - BIG BEAR LAKE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT STUDY, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 18 AND STATE ROUTE 38 (08-SBD-18-KP 71.1 TO 71.9, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 1 of 3]
T2  - BIG BEAR LAKE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT STUDY, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 18 AND STATE ROUTE 38 (08-SBD-18-KP 71.1 TO 71.9, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 756824891; 12834-070183_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Big Bear Lake Bridge (Bridge No. 54-0310) and implementation of associated road improvements near Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The existing two-lane bridge, located atop the Big Bear Dam one mile west of the city of Big Bear Lake, is deteriorating and functionally obsolete. In addition, the State transportation authorities have determined that a third lane is required to improve traffic channelization at the State Route (SR) 18/38 intersection. After screening five preliminary action alternatives, two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative were retained for detailed consideration in this final EIS of August 2003 {NOT IN MY DATABASE}. Action Alternative 4 would involve construction of a new three-lane bridge across Big Bear Lake, while Action Alternative 5 would involve construction of a new bridge across Bear Canyon/Bear Creek. Both alternatives would include realignment and widening of the bridge and approach roadways, signalization of the intersection of SR 18 and SR 38, and demolition of the existing bridge. Costs of alternatives 4 and 5 are $19 million $15.3 million and $24.2 million, respectively. Alternative 5 has been selected as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacing the existing bridge, which is characterized by inadequate capacity and structural deficiencies, would improve the safety and operational efficiency of the crossing. Moreover, demolition of the existing bridge would allow the Big Bear Municipal Water District to compete their planned spillway and outlet works improvements on the Big Bear Dam. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 4 would displace 0.007 acre of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.. Floodplain land would be traversed, but impacts on flood levels would be insignificant. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected due to alteration of visual aesthetics, and 0.37 to 0.47 acre of Big Be Lake shoreline and a total of one to 2.5 acres of recreational lands, including the lake and shoreline, would be displaced. Habitat for the federally protected South Rubber Boa and bald eagle would be affected by the loss of four to 11 perch trees. 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 National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the revised draft EIS, see 06-0268D, Volume 30, Number 2.

T1  - MASONVILLE DREDGED MATERIAL CONTAINMENT FACILITY, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
AN  - 36341203; 12721
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a dredged material containment facility (DCMF) in Baltimore City and Masonville, Maryland is proposed to receive dredged spoil from the Baltimore Harbor channels north of the North Point-Rock Point line. Both the Maryland Dredged Material Management Program and the Federal Dredged Material Management Program have recommended the development of several DCMFs for Baltimore Harbor dredged sediments during the next 20 years. The creation of the proposed MASONVILLE DCMF would represent one of three actions recommended by the Maryland body's executive committee. The facility was selected for development prior to the other two proposed facilities to meet short-term dredged material placement needs. A shortfall of dredged material placement capacity is excepted to occur in fiscal year 2007. This shortfall presents an urgent need to implement new options capable of accepting the annual volume of 1.5 million cubic yards of dredge spoil. The recommended alternative would provide for a DMCF at Masonville capable of containing 16 million cubic yards of material dredged from the Baltimore Harbor over a 20-year period. The proposed site lies within the estuarine reaches of the Patapsco River, which is generally considered to be part of Baltimore Harbor. More specifically, the site is located approximately four miles upstream of Key Bridge and approximately one mile downstream of Hanover Bridge on the southern shore of the river. Six DMCF alignments were originally developed based on engineering constraints to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternative. The site would accommodate annual placement of 500,000 to 1.0 million cubic yards. A June 2006 supplement to the May 2006 draft EIS evaluated an alternative source for sand borrow for construction of portions of the containment structure. It has been recommended that sand borrow be taken from the Seagirt Marine Terminal dredge spoil for use in construction of the DMCF. This final EIS retains all recommendations of the draft and draft supplemental EISs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new DCMF would provide for the disposal of contaminated spoil, unsuitable for ocean or bay disposal, from maintenance dredging within the Baltimore Harbor, allowing the harbor authorities to maintain the navigability of harbor channels and basins. The containment of contaminated dredge spoil would remove pollutants from the Chesapeake Bay estuary and prevent the future release of the contaminants into the water column. Creation of a fill at the site would provide an area for development of future facilities or estuarine conservation measures. Environmental remediation measures undertaken during the development of the site, including the removal of 25 derelict vessels and the capping of contaminated sediments at the site, would enhance the environmental condition of the immediate area and the water quality of the estuary in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The footprint of the recommended alternative would displace 141 acres, of which 10 acres would be shoreline or upland, 127 acres open water, one acre of wetland, and three acres unauthorized fill.

T1  - Comparative neurotoxicity of two energetic compounds, hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, in the earthworm Eisenia fetida.
AN  - 70521356; 17521142
AB  - Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), both energetic compounds, share some degree of structural similarity. A noninvasive electrophysiological technique was employed to assess the impacts of acute sublethal exposures on impulse conduction in medial (MGF) and lateral (LGF) giant nerve fiber pathways of the earthworm Eisenia fetida and to evaluate the reversibility of neurotoxic effects. Earthworms were exposed to either 0.02 to 2.15 microg/cm2 of CL-20 or 0.04 to 5.35 microg/cm2 of RDX, for 1 to 14 d, on moistened filter paper. Conduction velocities of MGF and LGF were recorded on a digital oscilloscope before and after exposure. Results indicate that at exposure levels as low as 0.02 microg/cm2 of CL-20 or 0.21 microg/cm2 of RDX, worms exhibited physiological impacts such as retardation, stiffness, and body shrink. Both MGF and LGF conduction velocities were negatively correlated with increasing doses of CL-20 or RDX. However, such neurotoxic effects were alleviated or even eliminated within a few days after exposed worms were transferred to an uncontaminated environment, indicating that the neurotoxicity is reversible even after 6-d exposure. The CL-20 is more potent than RDX, which is consistent with previous studies on lethality, growth, and reproduction endpoints in soil oligochaetes.

T1  - Nutritional quality of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle and its effects on a fungal pathogen Mycoleptodiscus terrestris (Gerd.) Ostazeski
AN  - 19603911; 8548910
AB  - The submersed macrophyte, Hydrilla verticillata, was grown using different nutritional regimes under greenhouse conditions to obtain plants that were significantly different in percent nitrogen-free extract, crude fiber, ether-extractable compounds, crude protein, and ash in shoot tissue. Shoots were then challenged by the biological control fungal pathogen, Mycoleptodiscus terrestris, to determine the effects of plant nutritional status on disease severity, growth, and reproduction. Fourteen days post-inoculation, shoots from plants grown in high-fertility sediment had significantly greater disease severity ratings than shoots from plants grown in low-fertility sediment. The nutritional status of the plants also impacted asexual reproduction of the pathogen by thin-walled conidia and melanized survival structures called microsclerotia. At 14 days post-inoculation, significantly higher numbers of conidia were produced in flasks containing hydrilla plants grown in high-fertility sediment. In contrast, microsclerotia increased almost fourfold in leaf tissues of hydrilla grown in low-fertility sediment. It appears from these studies that the nutritional condition of target plants cannot be excluded as an important factor in efficacy of pathogens used as biological control agents. The nutritional status of the host tissues influences M. terrestris ingress into host tissues, vegetative growth, production of secondary inoculum in the form of disseminative spores or conidia, and production of survival structures, the microsclerotia.

T1  - CENTRAL AND SOUTHWESTERN FLORIDA PROJECT: BROWARD COUNTY WATER PRESERVE AREAS.
AN  - 36341554; 12712
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an integrated project to address ecological problems in the Everglades and associated areas of Broward County, Florida is proposed. The project would support a new authorization for the Broward County Water Preserve Areas (WPAs). The Broward County section of the Everglades is affected by discharges of excess runoff from developed areas in west Broward County and other hydrological problems. These problems contribute to the loss of ecosystem function due to the inappropriate timing and volumes of flood control discharges to the Everglades, excessive nutrient loading to Everglades marsh communities resulting in an undesirable shift in vegetative cover and loss of ecosystem function, excessive seepage of water out of the Everglades to developed areas in western Broward County resulting in loss of ecosystem function, and insufficient quantities of water available in the regional water management system during dry periods resulting in failure to meet municipal, agricultural, and environmental water supply demands. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. In addition to supporting a new authorization for the Broward County Water Preserve Areas in accordance with the requirements of Section 601(d) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2000, the plan would also include deauthorization of the Water Conservation Areas 3A/3B Levee Seepage Management Project, the C-11 Impoundment and Stormwater Conservation Area Project, and the C-9 Impoundment and Stormwater Treatment Area Project, which were initially authorized under Section 601(b)(2)(C)(iv) - (vi) of the WRDA 2000 at costs of $100.3 million, $124.8 million, and $89.1 million, respectively. The South Florida Water Management District would be the non-federal cost-sharing partner for the project and would be responsible for the operation and maintenance of facilities when the project was completed. Estimated cost of the tentatively selected plan is $746.98 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan, which is the most cost-effective of the feasible plans under consideration, would improve fish and wildlife habitat within the Everglades, including habitat for threatened and endangered species, such as the Everglades snail kite. As importantly, the plan would ensure a timely and reliable supply of high-quality potable water for domestic, municipal, and industrial consumption in the Broward County area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Embankments constructed and canals excavated under the selected plan would displace wetland and upland wildlife habitat as well as free-flowing fish habitat, though these impacts would be offset by the gain in habitat quality in the Everglades and within the WPA. Construction activities would result in the emission of particulate matter, mobilization of sediments, and generation of noise in the Everglades, including the Everglades National Park, and within the WPAs.

T1  - AC TRANSIT EAST BAY BUS RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36345557; 12707
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment of high-level bus rapid transit (BRT) improvements along a 17-mile corridor connecting the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, and San Leandro in the San Francisco Bay area of Alameda County, California is proposed. Proposed BRT improvements would include dedicated transit lanes within existing arterials, stations with canopies and passenger amenities, advanced traffic signal priority for buses, and modern safety, security, and communications systems. Low-flow articulated buses would stop at raised-platform stations, allowing level boarding and alighting through any door. Self-service, proof-of-payment fare collection would be instituted. BRT services could be operated along with limited local bus service or without local service support. The project corridor alignment would begin in downtown Berkeley near the Berkeley Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, proceed southward along the southside of the campus of the University of California at Berkeley, continue southward following Telegraph Avenue to downtown Oakland, and proceed through East Oakland primarily along International Boulevard, which becomes East Fourteenth Street in San Leandro, to a terminus at the BayFair BART or San Leandro BART station. Four build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The differences distinguishing the build alternatives involve the integration or nonintegration of local bus service with the BRT and the terminus in San Leandro. Depending on the build alternative considered, estimated capital investment costs of the project range from $310 million to $400 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT facilities would improve transit service and better accommodate the large existing ridership in the area, increase transit ridership by providing a viable and competitive alternative to automobile travel, improve and maintain the efficiency of transit service delivery within the corridor, and support local and regional goals with respect to enhancing transit-oriented development. The BRT project would substantially increase service frequencies, expand transit capacity, and enhance bus reliability and transit times in a high-demand, congested travel corridor serving large ethnic minority and low-income populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The BRT facilities would convert two traffic lanes to transit-only lanes in various locations, thereby reducing roadway capacity on the BRT alignment and diverting some vehicles to alternate routes. Of the 88 on- and off-alignment intersections evaluated, four to six locations in the morning peak hours and 21 to 26 intersections in the evening peak hours would experience a degradation in operating levels in excess of locally established thresholds. From 945 to 1,300 curbside parking spaces would be displaced; this constitutes 13 to 18 percent of the spaces surveyed. Commercial users would lose 190 to 310 parking spaces to achieve adequate spaces; hence on average parking occupancy would not exceed 85 percent of supply. The project would also require the relocation of utilities and the realignment or reconfiguration of bike lanes. The BRT facilities would lie within a seismically active area. Construction activities could be affected by 44 hazardous waste sites along the BRT alignment; in addition, there are 14 such sites within close proximity to the work corridor and 22 more sites within 0.25 mile. Noise levels along the corridor would exceed federal standards in one area in Berkeley under one of the candidate alignments. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.)

T1  - Three-dimensional analytical solutions of Richards' equation for a box-shaped soil sample with piecewise-constant head boundary conditions on the top
AN  - 19684453; 7457865
AB  - In a recent paper by this author, analytical solutions of Richards' equation for three-dimensional (3-D) unsaturated flow were derived for a box-shaped soil sample. The same concepts are used in this paper, except that a complicated specified head boundary condition on the top of the soil sample used in the previous paper is replaced by a simple piecewise-constant specified head boundary condition. This author has concluded that both solutions are very valuable in testing numerical models using the finite element /volume/difference computational techniques. These analytical solutions were originally derived to test parallel high performance computing groundwater programs, but it has been found that two-dimensional versions of these solutions are also good for testing on PCs. In particular, the efficiency and accuracy of the linear and nonlinear solvers can be scrutinized effectively using these solutions. Analytical solutions for Richards' equation are difficult to derive because of the highly nonlinear aspect of this partial differential equation. However, the quasi-linear approximation of the log of relative hydraulic conductivity varying linearly with pressure head coupled with relative hydraulic conductivity varying linearly with moisture content allows Richards' equation to be transformed into a linear partial differential equation. Physically reasonable material properties are also achieved in this approximation, although modeling of real-world problems is limited by this assumption. Despite these limitations, the resulting analytical solutions have proven to be extremely valuable in testing groundwater models. As in the previous paper, a transformation based on the assumptions stated above, separation of variables, and Fourier series are used to obtain the final solution. Steady-state and transient solutions for two different boundary conditions of the test problem are provided in this paper.

T1  - Environmental consequences of water pumped from greater New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina: chemical, toxicological, and infaunal analysis.
AN  - 70393389; 17438821
AB  - The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center Environmental Laboratory, Vicksburg, MS, conducted a study to determine the extent to which Hurricane Katrina floodwaters in the New Orleans, Louisiana area may have had impacts on wildlife habitat and other biological resources in surrounding areas. These studies were conducted as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce, an investigation of environmental impacts originating from the failure of the hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This paper presents data regarding the effects of pumped floodwaters on sediment chemistry, toxicity, and benthic invertebrate assemblages near pumping stations that discharged floodwaters into marshes near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana. Chemical contamination of sediments was observed and varied among sample locations (e.g., outfall locations, wastewater treatment plant, canals, and wetlands); however, trends in the chemistry data were not always consistent with bioassay results. A comparison of the sediment chemistry data from this study with three other studies reporting concentrations of chemicals in sediments within the city of New Orleans suggested that sediments and associated contaminants present within the levees were not pumped into the marsh in appreciable quantities.

T1  - A Regional Guidebook for Applying the Hydrogeomorphic Approach to Assessing the Functions of Tidal Fringe Wetlands Along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast
AN  - 20364646; 9047956
AB  - The Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Approach is a collection of concepts and methods for developing functional indices and subsequently using them to assess the capacity of a wetland to perform functions relative to similar wetlands in a region. The approach was initially designed to be used in the context of the Clean Water Act Section 404 Regulatory Program permit review sequence. During the Development Phase of the HGM Approach, four critical components are integrated in a Regional Guidebook for assessing the functions of a regional wetland subclass. Subsequently, during the Application Phase, end users, following the protocols outlined in the Guidebook, assess the functional capacity of selected wetlands. This Regional Guidebook (a) characterizes the tidal fringe wetlands of the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast (north-central Gulf of Mexico) reference domain, (b) provides a rationale to select functions for the regional tidal fringe subclass, (c) provides a rationale to select model variables and metrics, (d) provides a rationale to develop assessment models, (e) provides data from reference wetlands and documents their use in calibrating model variables and assessment models, and (f) outlines protocols for applying the functional indices to the assessment of tidal fringe wetland functions in the north-central Gulf of Mexico.

T1  - Risk-Based Prioritization of Terrorist Threat Mitigation Measures on Bridges
AN  - 19632091; 7360780
AB  - This paper describes a risk-based methodology developed to facilitate prioritization of terrorist threat mitigation strategies on individual bridges. Numerous risk-based methods have been used for prioritization among a group of bridges or other assets. However, this methodology is unique in that it is specifically designed to focus on a single bridge and the risk associated with each of its many individual structural components. "Risk," as discussed herein, describes the relative potential for a terrorist attack against a specific component and the associated consequence from the attack. It is based on such factors as the component's importance to overall structural stability, its location and thus accessibility to terrorists, and its resistance to the specific threat. The component-specific risk factors and their modifying attributes are described. The result of the methodology is a rank-ordered list of components most at risk to an attack, allowing prioritization and optimization of the mitigation design for the bridge. Once mitigation schemes are identified, the methodology can then be utilized to recalculate mitigated risk, allowing for a direct indication of cost/benefit of the mitigation design. The methodology and comparison criteria are described and a simple application example is given to demonstrate the usefulness of the methodology.

T1  - FORT BLISS, TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO: MISSION AND MASTER PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF DECEMBER 2000).
AN  - 36343912; 12701
AB  - PURPOSE: The revision of land uses related to the operation of Fort Bliss, a multi-mission U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) installation located in New Mexico and Texas, is proposed in this draft supplement to the final programmatic EIS of December 2000. The principal mission of the installation, which encompasses approximately 1.12 million acres, is the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Center and Fort Bliss. The final programmatic EIS described potential environmental impacts and mitigation actions associated with land use and management decisions regarding installation assets, capabilities, and infrastructure to support current and future missions. The resulting decisions were reflected in the Real Property Master Plan, the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan, and the Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan as well as land use designations and activities envisioned in the Training Area Development Concept (TADC) and other installation initiatives. Current and likely future missions assigned to organizations at Fort Bliss support the land force elements within the "U.S. Armed Forces Joint Vision 2010" document developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While the generally accepted horizon for the master planning process is 20 years, the period beyond the six-year cycles of the Army's planning, programming, and budgeting system is highly speculative. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (which describes the current mission and organizations assigned to Fort Bliss as well as certain planned development and maintenance activities), were considered in the final EIS. All action alternatives include actions involved in the No Action Alternative as well as additional measures. Alternative 1 would add implementation of certain short- and long-term plans, construction and demolition projects, and environmental resource management plans. Alternative 2 would include all Alternative 1 actions as well as use of an additional 13.5 square miles of land for controlled access field training exercise sites related to the TADC. Alternative 3 would include all Alternative 2 actions as well as other potential training capabilities envisioned in the TADC and other installation initiatives. Alternative 3 was identified as the Army's preferred alternative in 2000. This final supplemental EIS addresses land use changes at the fort complex and main cantonment area to accommodate U.S. Army initiatives such as those of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy. These initiatives seek to locate a Heavy Armor Division Headquarters comprised of four Heavy Brigade Combat Teams, a Combat Aviation Brigade, an Artillery Brigade, and various other supporting units at Fort Bliss. To support these units, additional infrastructure and facilities, including live-fire and qualification ranges, would be developed. The plan would also involve the addition of 20,000 to 30,000 military personnel at the fort. Five alternatives are considered in the final supplemental EIS, four of which would involve expansion of the Main Cantonment Area and provision of off-road vehicle maneuver training on portions of the McGregor Range in the Tularosa Basin. None of these alternatives would permit off-road vehicle maneuvers on Otero Mesa or in the Sacramento Mountains foothills on McGregor Range. The fifth alternative considers taking No Action. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would add 352,000 acres for off-road vehicle maneuvers to land in the training complex already approved for that use, increasing the total area available for maneuvers to 687,000 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The fort would continue to support efforts necessary to the defense of national interests. Activities under the alternative adopted would assist land use planning and enhance management of the land, air space, and infrastructure of the installation to optimize its ability to support current and future missions while sustaining its stewardship of natural and cultural resources. Planning under any action alternative would provide a framework for the improvement of land use relationships in the main cantonment and enhance support of the installation's mission. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain activities related to the fort's mission could result in minor impacts to grazing on ranges within the installation, increase aircraft noise levels in certain areas, reduce safety buffers related to firing or ordnance, alter visual contexts, increase soil disturbance due to increased use of off-road vehicles, and increased possible disturbance of cultural resource sites. Alternatives (2) and (3) would result in increased water demand. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft supplemental EIS, see 06-0477D, Volume 30, Number 4. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 98-0299D, Volume 22, Number 4 and 01-0116F, Volume 25, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - BNSF CAJON THIRD MAIN TRACK, SUMMIT TO KEENBROOK, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36351717; 12693
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new 15.9-miles of third main rail track for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway through the Cajon Pass between Summit and Keenbrook in San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The proposed action requires the issuance of an Army Corps of Engineers permit for placement of fill into jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the issuance of a special use permit from the San Bernardino National Forest, which the Cajon Pass rail line would traverse. The project would also involve realignment of Swarthout Canyon Road, requiring a rights-of-way agreement between BNSF and San Bernardino County. Finally, as part of the project, BNSF would donate funds for the purpose of conserving approximately 60 acres in the Cleghorn Road underpass area to ensure the conservation of ecological processes in the canyon. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Action Alternative 1, which is BNSF's preferred alternative, would construct a third main track adjacent to existing BNSF Main Track 1 through Cajon Pass, incorporating environmentally sensitive design features to reduce the footprint of the rights-of-way. Action Alternative 2 would construct a third main track adjacent to existing BNSF Main Track 1, but would utilize a standard engineering design not sensitive to environmental protection requirements of the corridor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The third rail would improve BNSF railway operations by eliminating the existing bottleneck for freight into and out of southern California and increasing sustainable daily capacity to meet present and future demand for freight movement through Cajon Pass. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under either alternative would result in minor losses of land used primarily as wildlife habitat, wetlands, and other jurisdictional waters. Approximately 30 individual jurisdictional waters of the U.S. would be affected by the placement of fill materials. Noise levels and glare from lighting within the corridor would increase substantially. The movement of wildlife across and through the canyon would be hampered and occasional collisions of trains with wildlife would occur. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.).

T1  - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT: MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES TO EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FLORIDA (THIRD DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE TAMIAMI TRAIL MODIFICATIONS).
AN  - 36349845; 12691
AB  - PURPOSE: The securing of by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of real state rights to the privately owned properties along the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. The Tamiami Trail project is one component of the authorized "Modified Water Deliveries to the Everglades National Park" (MWD) Project, the purpose of which is to improve water deliveries for ecosystem restoration in Everglades National Park. A final general re-evaluation report and second supplemental EIS analyzed alternatives for redesigning Tamiami Trail so that increased MWD water flows could be conveyed south into the park without damaging the highway. Real estate interest identified for acquisition in this third supplemental EIS are those identified in the refinement of engineering designs associated with the bridging and road raising of the Tamiami Trail described in the second supplemental EIS, as well as those interests impacted by induced flooding from higher water levels associated with the implementation of the MWD project. The holdings to be secured are those owned by the Florida Power and Light Company, Radio One Communications, Coopertown Airboat Rides, Gator Park Airboat Tours, the Airboat Association of Florida, Everglades Safari Park, and Lincoln Financial Media. Real estate interests to be acquired are those identified in the refinement of engineering designs associated with bridging and raising the road. Under the proposed action, acquisitions would begin in 2007. In addition to the proposed action, this draft supplemental EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, under which the ENP would acquire the real estate rights after the scheduled completion of the ENP general management plan in 2009. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of the properties, under the proposed action, would hasten the scheduled completion of the ENP general management plan with respect to the bridge construction and road reconstruction project. Under the No Action Alternative, ENP would be afforded the opportunity to retain the airboat tour businesses as concessionaires, thereby maintaining the recreational access to the ENP they provide in the near-term. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Two of the three airboat touring businesses would have to be closed immediately due to construction-related restrictions of site access. Displacement of any of the businesses, all of which would be displaced eventually in any event, would result in disruption, and possibility termination, of the businesses. LEGAL MANDATES: Everglades National Park Protection and Expansion Act of 1989 (P.L. 103-219), 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).

T1  - IMPLEMENTATION OF BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE (BRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS AND OTHER ARMY ACTIONS AT FORT LEE, VIRGINIA AND FORT A.P. HILL, VIRGINIA.
AN  - 36347918; 12685
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) Recommendations and other U.S. Army actions at Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia is proposed. The affected jurisdictions include the cities of Hopewell and Petersburg and the counties of Prince Georges, Caroline, and Essex. Fort Lee, which lies between Petersburg and Hopewell, approximately 25 miles south of Richmond, is the home of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command, which develops logistics leaders, doctrine organizations, training programs, and material solutions to sustain a campaign-quality Army with joint expeditionary capabilities in war and peace. Fort A.P. Hill, which lies in Caroline and Essex counties, approximately 70 miles north of Fort Lee, provides realistic joint and combined arms training, logistics, and support to numerous Active and Reserve component visiting units. The current BRAC recommendations would involve the realignment of Fort Lee by relocating 7,700 additional personnel to Fort Lee, construction of additional facilities at both Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill to accommodate the relocated personnel and functions, and implementation of training and other operations at both forts. More specifically, the Fort Lee actions would include establishment of a Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCOE) to include portions of the Transportation Center and School now located at Fort Eustis, Virginia, the Ordnance Maintenance Mechanical School of the Ordnance Center and School now located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and the Ordnance Munitions and Electronics Maintenance School of the Missile and Munitions Center now located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; consolidation of the Transportation Center and School and the Ordnance Center and School with the Quartermaster Center and School, the Army Logistics Management College, and the Combined Arms Support Command to form the SCOE; establishment of a Joint Center for Consolidated Transportation Management Training by relocating redundant facilities from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas; establishment of a Joint Center of Excellence for Culinary Training now located at Lackland Air Force Base; co-location of the Miscellaneous Department Defense, Defense Agency, and Field Activity Leased Locations; closure of Metro Park III, a leased installation in Alexandria, Virginia by relocating the Defense Contract Management Agency Headquarters to Fort Lee; and relocation of all components of the Defense Commissary Agency, currently located at leased facilities in San Antonio, Texas, to Fort Lee. In addition, all mobilization processing functions at Fort Lee, Fort Eustis, Virginia, and Fort Jackson, South Carolina would be relocated to Fort Bragg , North Carolina, which would be designated the Joint Pre-Deployment/Mobilization Site Bragg/Pope. Fort Lee's military and civilian population consists of two major categories of personnel: student soldiers attending professional schools and permanent party personnel. Following implementation of the proposed action, Fort Lee's average daily population would nearly double, rising from 12,953 personnel to 20,703 personnel. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary facilities at Fort Lee would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new facilities and operations at Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill would displace other land uses, disturb soils and Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, degrade surface water and groundwater quality, damage cultural resource sites, and generally disrupt the ecosystem of the area. Area schools, housing resources, and law enforcement, fire, and social services would experience stress. Generation of hazardous waste, particularly in the processing and storage or ordnance and munitions, would pose a significant management problem. Noise levels would rise significantly due to the use of additional ordnance and munitions at Fort Lee. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 06-0475D, Volume 30, Number 4.

T1  - The role of paleochannels in saltwater intrusion in the Savannah Harbor area
AN  - 51254591; 2008-062848
AB  - The US Army Corps of Engineers is studying the potential effects on the Upper Floridan aquifer due to a proposed harbor expansion of the Port of Savannah. Deepening the existing navigation channel would reduce the thickness of the Floridan aquifer upper confining unit; therefore, it is imperative to gain a better understanding of the hydraulic characteristics of the confining layer underlying the Savannah River. The current study focuses primarily on the "area of concern" from Field's Cut to approximately two miles offshore of Tybee Island, where the confining layer naturally thins and the Floridan aquifer is closer to ground surface. Special emphasis is being placed on the role of several deep buried paleochannels that have cut down into the confining layer and how their presence affects saltwater intrusion into the Floridan aquifer. A detailed subbottom seismic survey provided a comprehensive data set of the stratigraphy underlying the navigation channel within the area of concern. Initially, data was acquired along each edge of the navigation channel, and supplemental track lines were established in areas where prominent paleochannels passed under the navigation channel. The supplemental track lines were oriented such that the paleochannels were spatially well defined in seismic profiles. The seismic profiles generated from the survey were used to better understand the three-dimensional relationship of the navigation channel, paleochannels, and the confining layer, and numerous core borings were used to verify the seismic profile interpretations. In addition, porewater samples of the confining layer and paleochannel fill material were extracted from core samples to create vertical profiles of chloride penetration. The porewater profiles were incorporated into a three-dimensional coupled ground-water flow and solute transport model to test various scenarios related to the hydrologic system in the immediate vicinity of the navigation channel. The combination of seismic, geochemical, and ground-water modeling data results indicates that paleochannels may locally enhance saltwater leakage, but any additional contribution of chloride from the paleochannels is negligible when compared to the total contribution from other saltwater sources outside the paleochannels along the river bottom.

T1  - Geology and the US Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Program
AN  - 51250018; 2008-065623
AB  - GEOLOGY AND THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS REGULATORY PROGRAM The US Army Corps of Engineers - Regulatory Program (USACE) is responsible for regulating wetlands under federal jurisdiction. In doing so, the USACE utilizes a diverse number of professions to staff district offices. In any given office, you will find engineers, biologists, and geologists. The very foundation of the Regulatory Program begins with the identification and characterization of wetlands. These wetlands will vary in description depending on where they exist in a geologic physiographic province. Wetland indicators include the existence hydrophytic plants, but more importantly include the presence of hydrology and hydric soils. This first step in the regulatory process is the corner stone of the permitting process, which is responsible for driving billions of dollars through the economy. Whether it is an interstate highway project or the construction of a residential subdivision, the correct identification of wetlands by geologists and other scientists serves the public interest. Geologist can be hired directly out of college for permanent federal positions, and in some cases, coop as interns prior to completing a degree in geology. Other opportunities also exist as temporary summer hires within the Regulatory Program.

T1  - GRATON RANCHERIA CASINO AND HOTEL PROJECT, SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36344036; 12679
AB  - PURPOSE: The approval of a management contract by the National Indian Gaming Commission between the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (Tribe) and SC Sonoma Management, LLC is proposed to allow for the construction and operation of a casino/hotel resort either on the Wilfred site, the Stony Point site, or the Lakeville site in Sonoma County, California. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative G), are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives under consideration include: B) the casino, hotel and spa, to be sited at Wilfred, which is the proposed action; C&D) a casino/hotel/spa complex at a different location, Northwest Stony Point or Northeast Stony Point; E) a reduced-intensity version of the proposed project; F) a business park; and G) a casino/hotel/spa complex at Lakeville. The proposed action would result in the development of the resort complex on a portion of a 252-acre Wilfred site that would be taken into trust for the Tribe. The resort complex would cover 66 acres within the northeast corner of the site and would encompass 762,3000 square feet. The remainder of the Wilfred site would remain undeveloped and allocated for open space, pasture, wildlife habitat, and recycled water sprayfields. The resort would include restaurants, a 300-room hotel, an entertainment venue, banquet/meeting space, and a pool and spa. The Tribe would enter into a Tribal-State Compact to govern the conduct of Class III gaming activities or comply with procedures established by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the IGRA and 25 C.F.R. 291 in the event that the state and the Tribe were unable to agree on a compact. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Approval of the contract would allow the Tribe to develop uses that would improve the long-term economic condition of its organization and its members through the development of a stable, sustainable source of employment and revenue. Revenues generated from the economic development would be used to improve the quality of life of Tribe members by supporting social, housing, governmental, administrative, educational, and health and welfare services. Revenues could also be used to provide capital for other revenue-generating activities, for contributions to charitable organizations, and for the funding of local government activities. The resort would employ 2,400 workers NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Acreage developed for the resort would displace wildlife habitat, including wetland habitat, as well as agricultural land, including pastureland, and significantly alter surface hydrology within the development site; however, the development area for the proposed action is less biologically sensitive than other development sites under consideration, and the proposed action includes a connection to local, off-site wastewater treatment plants, not proposed under the other actions alternatives. Traffic generated by activities at the resort would add significantly to congestion of the regional transportation network.

T1  - Assessing the Performance of a Sloped-Block Ice-Control Structure
AN  - 20257977; 7329973
AB  - Hardwick, Vt., having experienced 10 ice-jam floods in 30 years, has not experienced one since construction of a sloped-block ice-control structure (ICS) in 1994. This innovative structure consists of four sloped granite blocks spaced across the Lamoille River upstream of the village and adjacent to a treed floodplain. It arrests ice runs, forms partially grounded jams, and retains these jams for hours to days. The measured ice-hydraulic characteristics of the breakup runs and resulting ice jams (e.g., wave celerities and amplitudes, porous-flow seepage coefficients) are similar to characteristics obtained from the l:10-scale model tests used to develop the structure. Seepage coefficients, and hence jam porosities, generally increase with increasing discharge, and only two breakup events have caused floodplain flow. Water temperatures of 0.1-0.3 degree C measured during a breakup event confirm that ice melting can account for the rate of porosity increase. Field and model data indicate that ice-jam holding time and jam-release discharge increase with increasing ice-piece thickness to a threshold of 6-7% of ICS gap width, beyond which no releases occur. Consistency between prototype and model ice-hydraulic characteristics and ice-holding capacity reinforce the conclusion that the sloped-block ICS can reliably retain ice jams during breakup events that pose the greatest flood threat: thick, strong ice, and large breakup waves. This ice-retention behavior can account for the observed reduction in ice-jam flooding in Hardwick during the past 11 seasons.

T1  - A Community Approach to Improved Prediction and Characterization of Coastal Storm Hazards
AN  - 19741983; 7330163
AB  - This paper discusses the value of a community approach to characterizing the coastal storm hazard, e g., hurricane water levels and wave conditions, through field measurements, data analysis and modeling. Value is illustrated using experiences and results from recent and ongoing projects One example is recently completed work by the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force (IPET). which was commissioned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers The IPET was charged with gathering the facts regarding performance of the hurricane protection system in Southeast Louisiana in response to Hurricane Katrina. A second example is ongoing work being lead by the Corps to design projects that can greatly reduce the likelihood and consequences of flooding for coastal Louisiana and Mississippi. These investigations are being closely coordinated with work of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to update flood insurance rate maps for the region. Findings and lessons learned are discussed, and challenges in making accurate surge and wave predictions are identified, including: 1) inaccuracy in coastal and estuarine wind fields. 2) specification of a wind drag law in shallow coastal areas and 3) problems in treating nearshore wave set-up and coupling into surge models A new Corps research program that is addressing many of these issues, also a community effort, is described as are results from early progress in selected problem areas The paper presents advantages to developing open-source, community-based computer software for coastal storm wave and surge predictions, and some problems with today's over-reliance on proprietary software.

T1  - NC 12 REPLACEMENT OF HERBERT C. BONNER BRIDGE, (BRIDGE NO. 11) OVER OREGON INLET, DARE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (SUPPLEMENT TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 36346944; 12671
AB  - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge across the Oregon Inlet in Dare County, North Carolina is proposed in this 2005 supplemental draft EIS on the project. Built in 1962, the existing Bonner Bridge is approaching the end of its reasonable service life. The structure is part of North Carolina (NC) 12 and provides the only highway connection between Hatteras Island and Bodie Island. Two replacement bridge corridors and several design options are considered in this draft EIS. The Pamlico Sound Bridge Corridor would provide for a 17.5 mile bridge within an overall project length of 18 miles, including the bridge and the approach roads at the northern and southern termini. The typical section for the Pamlico Sound bridge would provide for two 12-foot travel lanes and two eight-foot shoulders. The span would provide a minimum navigation opening of 200 feet horizontally and 75 feet vertically. Estimated costs of the Pamlico and Parallel bridge crossings range from $1.3 billion to $1.8 billion. Five options are associated with the Parallel Bridge Corridor. The corridor would cross the Oregon Inlet via a 2.7-mile bridge. The NC 12 maintenance component would keep NC 12 open from the community of Rodanthe to the Oregon Inlet bridge's southern terminus, a distance of 12.5 miles. The maintenance component would pass through Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. The Nourishment option would assume that NC 12 would remain in its current location and beach nourishment plus dune enhancement would be used to maintain a minimally adequate beach and dune system,. The total length of the beach requiring regular nourishment would be approximately 6.3 miles. Nourishment would occur at four locations and would be repeated at four-year intervals. The Road North/Bridge South option would place NC 12 on a bridge west of Hatteras Island beginning at a new intersection in Rodanthe and continuing to a point approximately two miles north of the refuge's southern boundary, where the project would meet NC 12. Beginning at a point 1.3 miles south of the refuge's ponds, NC 12 would be relocated to a point 230 feet west of the forecast worst-case 2060 shoreline. This relocation would continue 7.1 miles north until the relocated NC 12 would meet Oregon Inlet bridge. Three 10-foot-high dunes, extending a total length of 2,100 feet, would be provided, but not immediately. The dunes would be provided as the shoreline erodes toward the relocated road, beginning in 2030. The All Bridge Adoption would include the same bridge in the Rodanthe area as the Road North/Bridge South option. In the central and northern part of the refuge, NC 12 would be constructed on a bridge to the west of the existing road. Two road segments would be included in this relocation, one near Oregon Inlet and one just north of the refuge's ponds, where access from NC 12 to the refuge would be provided. The bridges associated with this alternative would span five potential storm-related island breach locations. The Parallel Bridge Corridor with phased approach option would provide for an Oregon Inlet bridge and the elevation of portions of NC 12 through the refuge and northern Rodanthe on new bridges within the existing NC 12 easement. The option would be implemented in four phases, with the first phase providing the bridge across Oregon Inlet. The typical section for the Oregon Inlet bridge would provide two 12-foot travel lanes and two six-foot shoulders. The navigation zone would be up to 5,000 feet long, with a vertical clearance of approximately 75 feet. The estimated cost for the Parallel Bridge Corridor alternative would be $671.8 million to 970.4 million for nourishment, $602.2 million to $740.2 million for the Road North/Bridge South option, $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion for the All Bridge option, and $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion for the phased approach option. The demolition of the existing Bonner Bridge is estimated to cost $4.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new crossing would provide an upgrade of the only connection between Hatteras and Bodie Island and, hence, from Hatteras to the mainland. The modern, safe, efficient crossing would enhance residential, commercial, and recreational access throughout the Outer Banks barrier islands and promote emergency response and hurricane evacuation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Pamlico South Bridge Corridor development would affect 10.8 to 12.8 acres of biotic communities, including 4.2 to 4.8 acres of wetlands. The Parallel Bridge Corridor would affect up to 91.6 acres of biotic communities, including extensive wetland areas. Under the Pamlico Sound Bridge Corridor Alternative, rights-of-way development would displace one business and five homes. The Road North/Bridge South Alternatives would displace two homes and a commercial building that contains a business and a residence. Charter fishing vessels operating out of Oregon Inlet Marine and Fishing Center would no longer be able to use an unmarked natural channel, known as "the crack", to reach the ocean. At Rodanthe, panoramic views of the Pamlico Sound from homes along the sound's shoreline would be changed under all alternatives except the Parallel Bridge Corridor with Nourishment option. The project would affect, but not remove, the Oregon Inlet U.S. Coast Guard Station, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The replacement bridge would be constructed in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at up to two residences. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR H, PARSONS-TO-DAVIS, TUCKER COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1996).
AN  - 36348390; 12668
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 10.47 miles of highway within Corridor H between Parsons and Davis in Tucker County, West Virginia is proposed in this supplement to the April 1996 final EIS on the construction of 100 miles of highway within the corridor from Elkins, West Virginia to just west of the Virginia state line. As a result of legal challenges a settlement agreement required the West Virginia Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration to alter the original 1996 construction plan with respect to highway alignment. This final supplemental EIS considers a No-Build Alternative, the originally preferred alternative (OPA), a revised version of the OPA, a variant of the OPA and 11 Blackwater Area avoidance alignments, five of which are evaluated in detail in the draft supplement. The revised OPA, which was developed after the publication of the draft supplement, is the preferred alternative. A truck route option was also considered as an addition to the originally preferred alternative and one of the avoidance alignments. The alignments vary in length from nine miles to 11.2 miles, while the truck route option would extend 1.8 miles. Under any of the primary build alternatives, the project would provide a four-lane, partially controlled access facility. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $101.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a safe, high-speed, high-capacity connection between the project termini; promote economic development in the study area, reduce truck traffic on existing routes; and improve emergency response times and access to emergency facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements, totaling 396 acres for the preferred alternative, would displace one residence, 11.13 acres of wetlands, 3.2 acres of floodplain, 124 acres of the Monongahela National Forest, and habitat for the West Virginia northern flying squirrel. The project could eliminate 892 to 1,400 wildlife habitat units and from 553 to 6,016 linear feet of stream. Habitat for the federally protected West Virginia northern flying squirrel would be affected, as would habitat within the Monongahela National Forest. One to six visually sensitive sites would be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: 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). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and the final EISs, see 92-0487D, Volume 16, Number 6 and 94-0510D, Volume 18, Number 6, respectively. For the abstract of the draft supplemental EIS, see 03-0206D, Volume 27, Number 2.

T1  - Remediation of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater using organic mulch permeable reactive barriers
AN  - 1328501992; 2013-032422
AB  - Organic mulch is a complex organic material that is typically populated with its own consortium of microorganisms. The organisms in mulch breakdown complex organics to soluble carbon, which can then be used by these and other microorganisms as an electron donor for treating RDX and HMX via reductive pathways. A bench-scale treatability study with organic mulch was conducted for the treatment of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater obtained from a plume at the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Pueblo, Colorado. The site-specific cleanup criteria of 0.55 ppb RDX and 602 ppb HMX were used as the logical goals of the study. Column flow-through tests were run to steady-state at the average site seepage velocity, using a 70%:30% (vol.:vol.) mulch:pea gravel packing to approach the formation's permeability. Significant results included: (1) Complete removal of 90 ppb influent RDX and 8 ppb influent HMX in steady-state mulch column effluent; (2) pseudo-first-order steady-state kinetic rate constant, k, of 0.20 to 0.27 h (super -1) based on RDX data, using triplicate parallel column runs; (3) accumulation of reduced RDX intermediates in the steady-state column effluent at less than 2% of the influent RDX mass; (4) no binding of RDX to the column fill material; and (5) no leaching of RDX, HMX or reduction intermediates from the column fill material. The results of the bench-scale study will be used to design and implement a pilot-scale organic mulch/pea gravel permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at the site. Abstract Copyright (2007) Elsevier, B.V.

T1  - US HIGHWAY 67--I-40 WEST, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1994).
AN  - 36343513; 12663
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway, built to interstate standards, between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-440 interchange and an interchange at Highway 67/Highway 430 in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is proposed. Pulaski County is located in the center of the state at the junctions of I-40 and I-30 and US Highways 65 and 67/167. The county contains the largest metropolitan area in the state. The highway, which would extend 12.1 to 14.8 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. All seven alignment alternatives would share the same alignment of 6.9 miles. The remainder of the preferred alternative would extend 5.8 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-440 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67/167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at six locations within Camp Robinson to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the project is $276 million. 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 significant economic savings and the prevention of hundreds of accidents each year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 26 residential owners, 11 residential tenants, and eight businesses. Five elderly households and three low-income households would be displaced. In addition, the highway would displace 151 acres within a military base, 442 acres of undeveloped agricultural land, 114 acres of prime farmlands, 84 acres of wetlands, and 99 acres of miscellaneous land. The highway would encroach on 13,600 linear feet of special flood hazard area and traverse 22 intermittent and two perennial streams. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Hazardous waste sites to be encountered during construction would include five illegal dumps, two landfills, and two underground storage tanks. The project would impact 10 historic buildings, one historic bridge, three historic roads, and seven archaeological sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 91-0414D, Volume 15, Number 6 and 94-0407F, Volume 18, Number 5, respectively.

T1  - CLEAN WATER COALITION SYSTEMS CONVEYANCE AND OPERATIONS PROGRAM, LAKE MEAD RECREATION AREA, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA.
AN  - 36343314; 12658
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Clean Water Coalition (CWC) Systems Conveyance and Operations Program (SCOP) for the Lake Meade Recreational Area of Boulder County, Nevada is proposed. The quantity of effluent treated and discharged in the Las Vegas Valley (Valley) will increase as the population of the Valley increases. Forecasts indicate that a combined maximum month flow of approximately 400 million gallons per day (mgd) of municipal wastewater will need to be treated and managed in the Las Vegas Valley by 2050 (Black & Veatch 2004a). The treatment and conveyance facilities must accommodate the additional flows while continuing to meet current or future water quality standards for the Las Vegas Wash, Las Vegas Bay, and Lake Mead. Currently, highly treated effluent is discharged to the Las Vegas Wash at the existing discharge locations. The City of Las Vegas, Clark County Water Reclamation District, and City of Henderson comprise the CWC, which was created to address the management of the increasing wastewater flows in the Las Vegas Valley, has proposed the SCOP. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to surface water hydrology, groundwater, water quality, biological resources/endangered species, cultural resources, recreation, land use, air quality, noise, and socioeconomics. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the four action alternative would provide a system of pipelines and tunnels that discharges highly treated wastewater effluent to an alternate location in Lake Mead. The SCOP system would be designed to collect the treated effluent flows from the three treatment facilities, for conveyance to an area in the lower Colorado River system, while the majority of the flows bypass the lower Las Vegas Wash. The SCOP would be located in Clark County, Nevada The system would include activities and infrastructure that would be located on lands owned and/or managed by the City of Las Vegas, City of Henderson, Clark County, United States (U.S.) Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), National Park Service (NPS), and U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The action alternatives include the Boulder Islands North Alternative, Boulder Islands South Alternative, Las Vegas Bay Alternative, and Process Improvement Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the pipeline would not be constructed. Highly treated effluent would continue to be discharged to the Las Vegas Wash at the existing discharge locations. The three agencies currently responsible for municipal wastewater treatment and discharge would expand and optimize their facilities to handle the increasing quantities of wastewater through 2050. Facility additions would occur on lands currently owned by the cities and county. Under the Boulder Islands North Alternative, which has been identified as the preferred alternative, a pipeline would be constructed that collects and transports highly treated effluent from the three treatment facilities to a receiving area in the vicinity of Boulder Islands. The Boulder Islands North Alternative includes the generation of electricity at a hydroelectric generation facility to be located on NPS land. Under the Boulder Islands South Alternative, a pipeline would be constructed that collects and transports highly treated effluent from the three treatment facilities to a receiving area in the vicinity of Boulder Islands, but there would be no power generation facility. Under the Las Vegas Bay Alternative, a pipeline would be constructed that collects and transports highly treated effluent from the three treatment facilities to a receiving area in the Las Vegas Bay. The Process Improvements Alternative would not use a pipeline. Instead, highly treated effluent would continue to be discharged into Las Vegas Wash at the existing discharge locations and effluent flows would continue to enter the Las Vegas Bay for mixing an diffusion in an uncontrolled fashion. In addition to current, conventional treatment processes and plant optimization, best available technologies would be implemented to maintain acceptable total phosphorus loading. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SCOP would meet current and future water quality standards for known pollutants, and as yet unknown standards for additional contaminants that may be regulated in the future; protect and enhance the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA) by continuing to meet beneficial uses and recreational and resource values of the LMNRA, while more than doubling the treated effluent flows discharged to Lake Mead; accommodate Lake Mead's lowering water levels, which are important because the amount of mixing and dilution available in the inner Las Vegas Bay are also decreasing as the Lake level decreases; and reduce the degradation of source-water quality at the Southern Nevada Water System intake structures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in the temporary displacement of wildlife species as well as disturbance, loss, or damage to individual plants and the seed bank. The SCOP would reduce the extent of habitat available to aquatic fauna. Project activities could result in removal of eligible cultural and paleontological resource sites from the landscape, some recreation areas would be inaccessible to the public during construction, and visual aesthetics would be marred by SCOP structures. Construction workers could encounter perchlorate contaminated groundwater. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.)

AN  - 756825165; 13857-090053_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of dredging and dredged material disposal operations in relation to the improvement of the federal navigation channels in Gulfport Harbor on the Gulf of Mexico in Harrison County, Mississippi is proposed in this final supplement to the June 1989 final EIS on the navigational channel. Due to channel capacity limitations, the Mississippi State Port Authority has documented frequent occurrences of ships having to delay entry into the harbor. Likewise, vessels inside the harbor often must wait while inbound vessels enter the harbor. These conditions have resulted in significantly adverse financial losses to the skippers operating out of Gulfport. This supplemental EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative involving widening the federal channels to the federally authorized dimensions of 300 feet for the Mississippi Sound Channel and 400 feet for the Bar Channel. Deepening the channels is not considered. The Sound Channel would be widened from the present 220-foot width over its entire 11-mile length from the inner portion of the Bar Channel portion of the Ship Island Pass Channel to the Turning Basin at Gulfport Harbor, while the Bar Channel would be widened from the present 300-foot width over its entire 10-mile length from the 38-foot bathymetry in the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi Sound to the point in the Sound at which the channel meets the Sound Channel. Sediment would be removed from the channels using hopper, mechanical, and hydraulic cutterhead dredge. Dredge spoil would be disposed in a littoral disposal area southeast of Cat Island, in the new Gulfport Offshore Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), and in the existing ODMDS located on the western side of the navigation channel. This attachment to the final supplemental EIS provides errata, in the form of replacement pages, for the final supplement. Most of the replacement pages consist of agency and public correspondence with respect to the project, including responses to public and outside agencies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged channels would provide for safer, less restricted navigation into and out of Gulfport Harbor, resulting in significant cost savings for vessel operators and reducing the possibility of losses of life and property due to vessel collisions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposal would result in the release of sediments, including potentially contaminated sediments, into the water column and the smothering of sessile benthos; the impacts would be temporary. The hydraulics and bathymetry of the Mississippi Sound would change slightly due to the wider channels and altered bottom topography along the channels and at the disposal sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-88), Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662), and Water Resources Development Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-676).

This supplemental EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative involving widening the federal channels to the federally authorized dimensions of 300 feet for the Mississippi Sound Channel and 400 feet for the Bar Channel. Deepening the channels is not considered. The Sound Channel would be widened from the present 220-foot width over its entire 11-mile length from the inner portion of the Bar Channel portion of the Ship Island Pass Channel to the Turning Basin at Gulfport Harbor, while the Bar Channel would be widened from the present 300-foot width over its entire 10-mile length from the 38-foot bathymetry in the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi Sound to the point in the Sound at which the channel meets the Sound Channel. Sediment would be removed from the channels using hopper, mechanical, and hydraulic cutterhead dredge. Dredge spoil would be disposed in a littoral disposal area southeast of Cat Island, in the new Gulfport Offshore Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), and in the existing ODMDS located on the western side of the navigation channel. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged channels would provide for safer, less restricted navigation into and out of Gulfport Harbor, resulting in significant cost savings for vessel operators and reducing the possibility of losses of life and property due to vessel collisions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposal would result in the release of sediments, including potentially contaminated sediments, into the water column and the smothering of sessile benthos; the impacts would be temporary. The hydraulics and bathymetry of the Mississippi Sound would change slightly due to the wider channels and altered bottom topography along the channels and at the disposal sites.

T1  - US HIGHWAY 89, BROWNING TO HUDSON BAY DIVIDE, GLACIER COUNTY, MONTANA.
AN  - 36342510; 12637
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 25.5-mile segment of US 89 from its junction with US 2 to the Hudson Bay Divide south of Saint Mary in Glacier County, Montana is proposed. The US Browning to Hudson Bay Divide project initially considered improvement of a network of roadways that perform some of the transportation functions that might otherwise be performed by US 89 if it met current roadway standards. State and federal authorities concluded that the most pressing need for roadway improvements within this roadway network exists in the transportation corridor between the Saint Mary-Babb area, including points north of Babb and west of Saint Mary, and the Browning area, including points south and east of Browning. US 89 and Duck Lake Road function as the primary transportation links between these two areas. Hence, the project has focused on potential improvements to US 89 between Hudson Bay Divide and Browning as well as improvements to Duck Lake Road between US 89 south of Babb and Browning. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative A) and two widening alternatives, are considered in the final EIS. Alternative B would provide for a 32-foot cross-section, while alternative C would provide for a cross-section of 36 feet. The EIS also analyses a Duck Lake Road Option, which would consist of improvements in three areas along Duck Lake Road as an alternate truck route for US 89; this option could be implemented under any alternative. Alternative C, with the Duck Lake Road Option, has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a facility that meets current design standards, enhancing safety and highway operations within the corridor. The highway would particularly enhance the cultural resources and economic opportunities of the Blackfeet Nation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 146 acres of wildlife habitat and increase fragmentation of forested habitat in the area and require the relocation of one residence and the acquisition of two areas of unimproved lands encompassing 472 acres. Extensive earthwork would be required along the corridor. The project would displace 19.8 acres of wetlands. Approximately 1,300 linear feet of South Fork Cut Bank Creek would be relocated. Bald eagle, grizzly bear, and bull trout, all of which are federally protected species, could be affected somewhat. Two historic bridges and the Blackfeet Highway, also an historically significant resource, would be affected, and several archaeologically significant cloth-offering sites would be disturbed. Highway structures would diminish the visual quality of the 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).

T1  - A TaqMan polymerase chain reaction method for monitoring RDX-degrading bacteria based on the xplA functional gene.
AN  - 68957620; 17010461
AB  - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5,-triazine (RDX) is a cyclic nitramine explosive that is a major component in many military high-explosive formulations. In this study, we developed a real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that targets the xplA functional gene involved in the breakdown/transformation of RDX. The xplA gene, described previously [Seth-Smith, H.M., Rosser, S.J., Basran, A., Travis, E.R., Dabbs, E.R., Nicklin S., Bruce, N.C., 2002. Cloning, sequencing, and characterization of the hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine degradation gene cluster from Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 68, 4764-4771.], was isolated from Rhodococcus rhodochrous 11Y and codes for a fused flavodoxin-cytochrome P450 protein. We applied the xplA TaqMan PCR assay to detect and monitor strain 11Y in soil microcosms that had been amended with strain 11Y and RDX as well as soil microcosms in which soils had been subjected to heat-sterilization prior to the addition of strain 11Y and RDX. The specificity of the assay was tested against a number of genomic bacterial templates and surprisingly found to cross react with other RDX degrading bacteria. Two of these strains, Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Williamsia sp. KTR4, were previously isolated in our laboratory and were not known to possess xplA homologs. Southern blot analysis confirmed the presence of xplA gene homologs in both of these strains. The sensitivity of the xplA TaqMan PCR primer/probes set was evaluated using 11Y cell standards as well as 11Y cell standards spiked in soils that mimicked conditions found in the experimental soil microcosms. While the assay was found to be linear over a range of 6 orders of magnitude for both sets of standards, sensitivity of the assay was reduced between one and two logs for cells spiked in soil. The capacity to monitor the presence of specific microorganisms and/or genes coding enzymes involved in RDX transformation/breakdown in complex environmental samples will be critical for bioremediation strategies targeting explosives that rely on in situ bioaugmentation and monitored natural attenuation.

T1  - Influence of soil type and extraction conditions on perchlorate analysis by ion chromatography.
AN  - 68934879; 17092539
AB  - Perchlorate is a stable anion that has been introduced into the environment through activities related to its production and use as a solid rocket propellant. Perchlorate is thought to transport through soils without being adsorbed; thus, for determination of perchlorate in soil, samples are typically extracted with water prior to analysis. The completeness of extraction depends on perchlorate existing as a free ion within the soil matrix. In this study, perchlorate extraction efficiency was evaluated with five soil types under two different oxygen states. For each soil, 30% (w/w) slurries were prepared and equilibrated under either oxic or anoxic conditions prior to spiking with a stock solution of sodium perchlorate, and the slurries were then maintained for 1-week or 1-month. At the end of the exposure, slurries were centrifuged and separated into aqueous and soil phases. After phase separation, the soil was washed first with deionized water and then with 50mM NaOH, producing second and third aqueous phases, respectively. Perchlorate concentrations in the three aqueous phases were determined using ion chromatography. The results obtained from this study suggest that matrix interference and signal suppression due to high conductivity have greater effects upon observed perchlorate concentrations by ion chromatography than does perchlorate interaction with soil. Thus, a single water extraction is sufficient for quantitative determination of perchlorate in soil.

T1  - Modeling debris slide geometry with balanced cross sections; a rigorous field test
AN  - 51354117; 2007-116487
AB  - Cross sections of slopes subjected to progressive displacements can be constructed from arrays of deeply embedded survey poles aligned in the directions of slip. Changes in the spacing and plunge angles of the poles can be used to construct vertical sections that show positions of slip surfaces and the changing shapes and/or positions of stratigraphic boundaries by applying the principles of cross-section balancing. Balanced models of such progressive failures can be used as the basis for determining field locations, data needs, and mitigation strategies associated with more rigorous geotechnical investigations. A slow debris slide in the coastal bluffs of Lake Michigan has been monitored bi-weekly to tri-weekly beginning in 1996 with balanced cross sections constructed annually. When the debris slide was drilled in 47 different places in 2003 as part of a bluff de-watering study, surfaces of rupture and stratigraphic contacts observed in drill cores matched with strong correlation the predicted depth positions of slip surfaces from balanced section models. Without access to the balanced geometric models of the debris slide as guides to drilling sites and geotechnical analyses of soils, the drilling program would not have produced the level of knowledge necessary for a well planned mitigation strategy.

T1  - Evaluation of a Surface Flow Bypass System for Steelhead Kelt Passage at Bonneville Dam, Washington
AN  - 19700662; 7485737
AB  - A surface flow bypass system for juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. began operation at the second powerhouse (B2) of Bonneville Dam on the lower Columbia River in spring 2004. This surface bypass, called the 'B2 corner collector,' is the result of extensive modification of the original B2 sluice chute. Because steelhead O. mykiss are iteroparous, the effect of this bypass and the unmodified sluiceway at the older first powerhouse (B1) on downstream migration of postspawn steelhead (i.e., kelts) may be an important factor in the rate of iteroparity. As such, passage at Bonneville Dam (river kilometer [rkm] 234, measured from the mouth of the Columbia River) was examined to understand the efficiency of surface bypass in passing kelts. Steelhead kelts were collected, radio-tagged, and volitionally released from the juvenile bypass facilities at McNary Dam (rkm 465) and John Day Dam (rkm 345) on the Columbia River during spring 2004. Forebay residence times for kelts passing via B2 (with the corner collector operating) were significantly reduced relative to residence times published from a prior period with similar water flows at B2 (2002). Passage efficiency (nonturbine passage) at B2 significantly increased in relation to this same period. Over 80% of kelts at B2 and nearly the same percentage at B1 were routed away from turbines via surface flow routes passing up to 5% of total discharge at each powerhouse, indicating that relatively small amounts of surface flow are needed to pass kelts via nonturbine routes. Providing surface flow passage routes may provide an efficient means of bolstering iteroparity rates by increasing the number of kelts that successfully navigate Bonneville Dam during the spring.

T1  - LOS ANGELES RIVER REVITALIZATION MASTER PLAN, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36348548; 12628
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a master plan to revitalize the Los Angeles River corridor in Los Angeles and Los Angeles County, California is proposed. The Los Angeles River runs 51 miles through urban Los Angeles. Over the past several decades, old rail yards, warehouses, and industrial enterprises have been developed along the river banks, restricting visual and physical access to the river and precluding development of lands adjacent to the river to enhance habitat, recreational resources, open space, and the general quality of life for residents and visitors along the riverbanks and in the vicinity of the corridor. The program planning area consists of a one-mile-wide strip along a 32-mile river corridor and five opportunity areas along that corridor. The river corridor and environs are characterized by compromised water quality, trash accumulations, degraded or displaced wildlife habitat, public safety hazards, inadequate parkland and playing fields, lack of affordable housing, and lack of employment opportunities. Degraded water quality from the river has polluted coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean. Key impact issues addressed in this programmatic EIS process include air quality, water quality, biological resources, land use, noise levels, public health and safety, transportation, socioeconomic conditions, environmental justice, cultural resources. The proposed programmatic plan would provide for restoration of the river's former ecological significance as a natural system, as a place that brings neighborhoods together and provides green space in the heart of the city, and as an amenity and investment that brings great value to the city. Eight programmatic alternatives, each covering an opportunity area, and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft programmatic EIS. The program would include river channel modifications, open spacement, development of parks (including riverfront parks, linear parks, pocket parks, and recreational fields), creation of paseo and promenades, development of trails and paths as well as bikeways, provision of pedestrial river crossings and bridge underpasses, creation of 16 river loops to establish distinct community zones, development of gateways to provide river-theme artistic structures at selected access points, and water quality and habitat improvements. The five opportunity areas (Canoga Park, River Glen, Taylor Yard, Chinatown-Cornfields, and Downtown Industrial) would each present a distinct set of river revitalization opportunities to demonstrate the integration of program elements and measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the general environment of the Los Angeles River by improving natural habitat, water quality, recreational resources, open space, and economic values. In addition, the project would provide public access to the river, identify incidental recreational space for enhancement and visitor enjoyment, delineate trails, and reinvest in the urban infrastructure system to encourage economic growth. These enhancements would assist the city in addressing the basic environmental, social, and economic problems along the Los Angeles River that would otherwise worsen NEGATIVE IMPACTS: River channel modifications would result in short-term streambank erosion and sedimentation, degrading water quality in the river and resulting in the temporary loss of vegetation and the associated habitat values. Grading and construction at development sites and along paths and trails would also displace vegetation and soils. These impacts would be more than mitigated by the creation of green space and other open space and the planting of trees and other megaflora.

T1  - KINDER MORGAN LOUISIANA PIPELINE PROJECT (FERC DOCKET NO. CP06-449-000).
AN  - 36342516; 12625
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southeastern Louisiana are proposed . The applicant, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC, proposed to provide for 132 miles of 42-inch pipeline beginning within the Sabine Pass Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal in Cameron Parish and extending to the Columbia Gulf Transmission interstate pipeline in Evangeline Parish (Leg 1); 1,22 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal to an interconnection with the existing Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America pipeline just south of State Highway 82 in Cameron Parish (Leg 2); 2.3 miles of 24-inch pipeline extending from Leg 1 milepost 110.6 to FGT Company's Compressor Station No. 7 near the town of Williams; and associated mainline block valves, metering, tie-in, and pigging facilities. The facilities would have the capacity to deliver at least 3.4 decatherms per day of regasified natural gas from the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal to the national pipeline and underground storage grid. Construction of legs 1 and 2 would commence in November 2007, and construction of the FTG Lateral would begin in October 2008. Leg 2 and the interconnects would be completed by April 2008 and brought into service by October 1, 2008. Leg 1, the FGT Lateral, and their interconnects would be completed b y November 2008 and brought into service by April 1, 2009. In addition to the proposed action, this EIS considers four major route alternatives and several local alternatives, none of which offer significant environmental advantages over the proposed route POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would deliver gas to 10 existing interstate pipelines and one existing intrastate pipeline via 14 interconnect installations with a total take-away capacity of 4.0 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and a total downstream interconnect capacity of 11.4 Bcf/d. The availability of such broad access to the markets in the Gulf Coast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, and Southeast, through multiple pipeline connections, would allow shippers to redirect supplies as pipeline capacity was made available and in response to market dynamics. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 3,030.7 acres, most of which would be agricultural land, open land (consisting of rangeland, non-forested wetlands, transitional areas, and sandy areas), and open water. Operating facilities would displace 840.9 acres including 821.7 acres of permanent rights-of-way, 12.3 acres of aboveground facilities, and 6.9 acres of permanent access roads. The pipelines would cross 310 waterbodies, including Sabine Lake, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Calcasieu River; to minimize impacts to these waterbodies, 18 horizontal directional drill operations across 24 waterbodies would be undertaken and 147 waterbodies would be crossed by bore and two by flume to allow installation to pass harmlessly under the surface flows. Open-cut construction across approximately 13 miles of Sabine Lake would degrade water quality during construction due to sediment suspended in the water column. The construction rights-of-way would affect 352 wetlands encompassing 504.2 wetland acres; 99.5 acres of these wetlands are considered essential fish habitat. Wildlife surveys indicate that construction activities could temporarily impact five sensitive species of sea turtle, and surveys have yet to be completed with respect to the red-cockaded woodpecker. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1465), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-276).

T1  - SPAULDING TURNPIKE IMPROVEMENTS, NEWINGTON TO DOVER, STRAFFORD AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
AN  - 36415186; 13142
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN  - 36391188; 13142-080034_0020
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites.

Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

AN  - 36382478; 13142-080034_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge.

Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

T2  - SPAULDING TURNPIKE IMPROVEMENTS, NEWINGTON TO DOVER, STRAFFORD AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
AN  - 36380079; 13142-080034_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

T1  - GRAND PARKWAY (STATE HIGHWAY 99) SEGMENT G, FROM INTERSTATE HIGHWAY (IH) 45 TO US 59, HARRIS AND MONTGOMERY COUNTIES, TEXAS.
AN  - 36344098; 12619
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 13.7-mile segment of fully controlled access highway bypassing the Houston Metropolitan Area in Harris and Montgomery counties, Texas is proposed. Transportation improvements are needed in the Segment G study area due to the presence of inadequate connections between suburban communities and major radial roadways, the lack of capacity to meet current and future transportation demands, the high accident rate within the corridor, and the limitations placed on economic and population by inadequate transportation infrastructure. The proposed highway segment would be located in the northeastern quadrant of the planned 170-mile-long, third loop of SH 99 (Grand Parkway) around the city of Houston; the highway segment would be known as Segment G. The project corridor at hand would extend from Interstate 45 (I-45) to the west, US 59 to the east, Farm-to-Market 1960 to the south, and just beyond the proposed Grand Parkway segment to the north. The recommended alignment for the four-lane facility within the Segment G corridor would provide for a combination of alignments. The conceptual design for this proposal consists of a four-lane, at-grade controlled access freeway, with frontage roads to provide local access, within a 400-foot rights-of-way. The design speed would be 70 miles per hour (mph), though the posted speed limit would be 65 mph. In addition to the preferred alternative (Alternative D), three alternative alignments and a No Action Alternative are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $260.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Segment G would link the suburban communities and major roadways effectively and efficiently, enhance mobility and transportation safety, and respond to the demands of economic growth in the Houston region. The full Grand Parkway facility would provide access to radial highways, including US 290/I-45, I-10, State Highway 249, and US 59, and would serve as a third loop around the Houston Metropolitan Area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 63 existing residential properties, 45 planned residential properties, and one business. In addition, the facility would displace 129.9 acres of bottomland hardwoods, 31.7 acres of aquatic buffers, 27.3 acres of isolated aquatic habitat sites, 94 acres of floodways, 102.6 acres of floodplain, and 132.9 acres of prime farmland. The highway would traverse 518 acres of land under which there is a high probability of archaeological resource sites. The highway would also cross one oil/gas well and 16 public and one private water well. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 138 sensitive receptor sites LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (112 Stat. 107), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - WISCONSIN STATE HIGHWAY 15, NEW LONDON TO GREENVILLE, OUTAGAMIE COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
AN  - 36342472; 12614
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and realignment of 11 miles off State Highway (SH) 15 from US 45 in the city of New London to just west of the town of Greenville and SH 76 in Outagamie County, Wisconsin is proposed. SH 15 is a rural highway transitioning to a commuter route between New London and Appleton in northeastern Wisconsin. The village of Hortonville, which lies close to the center for the study corridor, has been experiencing increased traffic congestion for several years. As development continues in the region, traffic volumes will continue to increase. The existing two-lane roadway would fail to meet the need to provide for a smooth, safe flow of traffic, particularly within the village limits of Hortonville. Safety concerns include restricted sign distances at several intersections, limited passing opportunities, and numerous access points that contribute to poor traffic operations. The proposed action would expand SH 15 to provide a four-lane facility, with the option for a bypass of Hortonville. The corridor has been divided into two sections. The western section begins at the intersection of US 45 and SH 15 in New London and continues 3.4 miles southeastward to the intersection with County T and Givens Road. The eastern section continues 7.3 miles southeastward from the County T/Givens Road intersection though Hortonville to a point east of Julius Road in Greenville. Four eastern section alternatives and two western section alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Cost of both western section alternatives are estimated at $26.2 million; cost of the eastern section alternatives range from $40.3 million to $51.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded facility would provide for an efficient transportation system for the SH 15 corridor, allowing it to accommodate present and long-term traffic needs while minimizing disturbance to the corridor environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the western section would displace 122 or 134 acres, including 0.9 to 13 acres of wetlands, 52 to 76 acres of farmland, 20 to 22 acres of upland habitat, and 37 to 47 acres of developed and undeveloped urban land. One or five farms would be affected. One western alternative would displace 20 buildings, including nine residences, and the western segment would displace seven or 11 commercial units. Thirteen or 21 archaeological sites would be disturbed. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at seven or 11 sensitive receptor sites. Western alternatives would require special provisions to deal with six or 11 hazardous waste sites. Rights-of-way requirements for the eastern section would displace 305 to 409 acres, including 1.3 to 30.7 acres of wetlands, 94 to 254 acres of farmland, 30 to 69 acres of upland habitat, and 99 to 179 acres of developed and undeveloped urban land. Three to 14 farms would be affected, with three to 66 farm buildings being replaced and three to 47 housing units taken. Up to 19 commercial units would be displaced. One to three historic properties and three to 2 archaeological sites would be disturbed or displaced. Traffic-generated noise levels along the eastern section would exceed federal standards at six to 108 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight to 36 contaminated sites.

T1  - EAST-WEST CORRIDOR HIGHWAY COMPONENT, I-310/AIRPORT TO CBD, JEFFERSON, ORLEANS, AND ST. CHARLES PARISHES, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 36343021; 12610
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of a multi-lane, urban arterial extending from Interstate 310 (I-310) in St. Charles Parish to the Earhart Expressway (Louisiana 3139) in Jefferson parish, Louisiana is proposed. The East-West Corridor, under consideration extends from I-310 to the central business district (CBD) of New Orleans, serves over 1.0 million residents of the New Orleans Metropolitan Area and River Parishes region, many of whom travel the corridor daily using the principal east-west highways. All these highway are affected daily by heavy congestion and travel delays. Projected population and economic growth will continue to degrade travel within the corridor. . The corridor development project consists of two separate components, namely, a highway component and a transit component, with separate EIS processes being undertaken for each component. The transit component would extends from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport to the New Orleans CBD, with consideration currently given to light rail transit and bus rapid transit technologies. The corridor The highway component of the corridor development project, which is the subject of this EIS process. The proposed action would provide for the widening of the existing facility and the elimination of signalized intersections. Most notably, the proposed alternative provides for additional traffic lanes and geometric improvements along Airline Drive and a new connector bridge structure providing a direct, free-flow connection between the Earhart Expressway western terminus and Airline Drive. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and a transportation system management alternative. Cost of the proposed action is estimated at $246.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded highway would vastly improve access between the CBD and outlying areas and would compliment the proposed transit component within the corridor, providing a variety of options to travelers and combining to reduce congestion, noise levels, and air pollutant emissions in the area. Improvement of drainage features in association with highway construction would reduce flooding of the highway and adjoining areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the widening alternative would result in the displacement of 55 commercial units. In addition, 1.33 acres of wetlands, comprised mostly of swales and ditches, would be displaced. Bald eagle nests, which have been identified within or adjacent to the corridor, could be affected. Construction workers could encounter up to 12 hazardous waste sites within the corridor.

T1  - I-94/TH 10 INTERNATIONAL CONNECTION, FROM WEST OF BECKER, TO EAST OF ST. CLOUD, SHERBURNE, STEARNS, AND WRIGHT COUNTIES, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36351673; 12602
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of capacity improvements to the interregional corridor connection between Interstate 94 (I-94) and Trunk Highway (TH) 10 within an area west of the city of Becker and east of the city of St. Cloud in Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright counties, Minnesota is proposed. The connection between I-94 and TH 10 is currently provided via TH 24, a two-lane, uncontrolled access roadway that passes through the cities of Clearwater and Clear Lake, with an at-grade crossing at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad just south of TH 10. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the January 2004 draft EIS. All build alternatives include construction of a four-lane freeway, with a grade separation at the BNSF rail crossing and a bridge crossing over the Mississippi River. The project would include provisions for an existing snowmobile trail within an abandoned railroad corridor adjacent to County State Aid Highway 75 and for accommodations for future extension of the Beaver Island Regional Trail on the new bridge. The preferred alternative (Alternative C), identified in this final EIS, would intersect with I-94 approximately 1.6 miles southeast of the existing TH 24/I-94 (Clearwater) interchange, continue in to north-northeast on a new alignment across the river until it intersected with Sherburne County State Aid Highway 8, continue northward on an existing local road alignment (70th Avenue), and intersect with TH 10 1.2 miles northeast of the existing TH 24/TH 10 intersection. This Alternatives would incorporate a freeway design with interchanges at I-94 and TH 10 and a grade-separated rail crossing near TH 10. The Alternative would also include in intersection at TH 24 to provide local access to and from the city of Clear Lake. Alternative C would also provide for replacement of the existing TH 24 bridge over the Mississippi River by 2040 as a separate project. Costs of the preferred alternative are estimated at $133.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connector would remove traffic from the cities of Clearwater and Clear Lake, separating local and through vehicle flows to improve long-distance travel while reducing urban congestion. Provision of controlled access to the facility would eliminate conflicts with crossing traffic, thereby reducing the accident rate along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 508 acres of new rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of one commercial, 12 residential, and four agricultural properties. Approximately 152 acres of farmland would be lost. Traffic-generated noise and visible structures could impact on the quality of user experience on the Mississippi Scenic Riverway and Canoe/Boating Route, and the facility could impeded access to several recreational sites in the area; noise levels within the corridor would generally rise. Woodland wildlife habitat, meadow, sedge, wetland, and/or floodplain would be displaced. Federally protected or state-protected wildlife species, including Blandings turtle, loggerhead shrike, and/or bald eagle could be affected, and the removal of the TH 24 bridge under one alternative could decrease habitat for migratory avian species. Property acquisitions related to rights-of-way development would reduce the tax base by $23,054.

T1  - Boston Harbor Navigation Channel Improvement Project, Field Data Collection Program Final Report
AN  - 904487374; 15948115
AB  - A field data collection program in Boston Harbor, MA, was conducted for the U.S. Army Engineer District, New England, during the late fall and winter of 2004/2005. The purpose of the program was to obtain data needed to validate a numerical hydrodynamic model (ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) model) of Boston Harbor and adjacent areas. The currents calculated by the verified model were input to a ship simulator used to assess the design of the Boston Harbor navigation improvement project. A total of four water-level recorders and two acoustic profiling current meters were deployed on 10 November 2004. The water-level recorders were located adjacent to a bridge between Chelsea and East Boston in Boston's inner harbor, at the seaward end of Boston North Channel, at Gallops Island, and at the Hull Yacht Club in Allerton Harbor. The current meters were located at the seaward end of Boston North Channel and near the location where Boston's main navigation channel enters the inner harbor. Data from these instruments were supplemented by tide data from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tide gage in the inner harbor, and NOAA wind measurements at Logan Airport. In addition, daylight current transect surveys using a downward looking acoustic profiling current meter attached to a survey vessel were conducted on 11 November 2004 and 8 February 2005. Five transect survey lines across the main navigation channel were surveyed. All instrumentation was recovered on 7 and 8 February 2005. Maximum-measured ebb tidal currents in the harbor were 0.9 to 3.84 ft/sec. Maximum-measured flood currents were 0.77 to 3.61 ft/sec. In general, the ebb currents were stronger than the flood currents. The data from the current meter deployed at the seaward end of Boston North Channel were analyzed to evaluate the importance of the winddriven and tide-induced residual currents.

T1  - Anaerobic biotransformation of explosives in aquifer slurries amended with ethanol and propylene glycol.
AN  - 68365519; 17095047
AB  - Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) are explosives that are frequently found as environmental contaminants on military installations. Hydrogen has been shown to support the anaerobic transformation of these explosives. We investigated ethanol and propylene glycol as electron donors for providing syntrophically produced H2 for stimulating the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated soil. The study was conducted using anoxic microcosms constructed with slurries of the contaminated soil and groundwater. The addition of 5mM ethanol and propylene glycol enhanced the biodegradation of RDX and HMX relative to the control bottles. Ethanol was depleted within about 20 days, resulting in the transient formation of hydrogen, acetate, and methane. The hydrogen headspace concentration increased from 8 ppm to 1838 ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. Propylene glycol was completely degraded after 15 days, forming hydrogen, propionate, and acetate as end-products. The hydrogen headspace concentrations increased from 56 ppm to 628 ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. No methane formation was observed during the incubation period of 48 days. Our findings indicate the addition of ethanol and propylene to the aquifer slurries increased the hydrogen concentrations and enhanced the biotransformation of RDX and HMX in the explosive-contaminated soil.

T1  - Is the New Madrid seismic zone hotter and weaker than its surroundings?
AN  - 51276759; 2008-040024
AB  - A fundamental question about continental intraplate earthquakes is why they are where they are. For example, why are the New Madrid seismic zone earthquakes concentrated on the Reelfoot rift when the continent contains many fossil structures that would seem equally likely candidates for concentrated seismicity? A key to answering this question is understanding of the thermal-mechanical structure of the seismic zone. If it is hotter and thus weaker than surrounding regions, it is likely to be a long-lived weak zone on which intraplate strain release concentrates. Alternatively, if it is not significantly hotter and weaker than its surroundings, the seismicity is likely to be a transient phenomenon that migrates among many similar fossil weak zones. These different models have important implications for the mechanics of the seismic zone, stress evolution after and between large earthquakes, and seismic hazard assessment. The sparse heat-flow data in the New Madrid area can be interpreted as supporting either hypothesis. There is a possible small elevation of heat flow in the area compared to its surroundings, depending on the New Madrid and regional averages chosen. The inferred high heat flow has been interpreted as indicating that the crust and upper mantle are significantly hotter and thus significantly weaker than surrounding areas of the central and eastern United States. In this model, the weak lower crust and mantle concentrate stress and seismicity in the upper crust. However, reanalysis of the heat flow indicates that the anomaly is either absent or much smaller (3+ or -23 rather than mW m (super -2) ) than assumed in the previous analyses, leading to much smaller ( approximately 90%) temperature anomalies and essentially the same lithospheric strength. Moreover, if a small heat-flow anomaly exists, it may result from ground-water flow in the rift's fractured upper crust, rather than higher temperatures. The latter interpretation seems more consistent with studies that find low seismic velocities only in parts of the seismic zone and at shallow depths. Hence, although the question cannot be resolved without additional heat-flow data, we find no compelling case for assuming that the New Madrid seismic zone is significantly hotter and weaker than its surroundings. This result is consistent with migrating seismicity and the further possibility that the New Madrid seismic zone is shutting down, which is suggested by the small or zero motion observed geodetically. If so, the present seismicity are aftershocks of the large earthquakes of 1811 and 1812, and such large earthquakes will not recur there for a very long time.

T1  - In situ dechlorination of TCE during aquifer heating
AN  - 51094372; 2008-035094
AB  - Laboratory and field efforts were undertaken to examine trichloroethene (TCE) dechlorination as a function of temperature as an aquifer is heated to temperature approaching boiling. Experiments were conducted using sediment samples and during electrical resistance heating (ERH) treatment at the East Gate Disposal Yard (Fort Lewis, Washington), which contains nonaqueous phase TCE and hydrocarbon contamination. Laboratory microcosms with these sediments showed TCE dechlorination at 70 degrees C with measured products of acetylene, ethene, and ethane, indicating an abiotic component of the degradation. In contrast, TCE was dechlorinated to cis-1,2-dichloroethene in experiments at 10 degrees C, likely by biological reductive dechlorination. The observed products at 70 degrees C suggest dechlorination catalyzed by reduced sediment iron. Indications of in situ dechlorination were observed in periodic ground water samples collected during field-scale ERH from an average ambient temperature of about 19 degrees C to near boiling. Dechlorination indicators included an increase in chloride concentration at the onset of heating and observation of acetylene, ethene, and methane at elevated temperatures. The data collected in this study suggest that dechlorination can occur during ERH. The overall cost-effectiveness of ERH may be enhanced by fortuitous in situ dechlorination and, potentially, could be further enhanced by specifically designing and operating ERH to maximize in situ dechlorination.

T1  - High resolution sequence stratigraphy in the eastern Styrian Basin (Miocene, Austria)
AN  - 50860618; 2008-098110
AB  - An improved sequence stratigraphic framework for the Styrian Basin is presented, based on the integration of twelve 2 D seismic sections and well-log data from the central and northern Furstenfeld Subbasin and the Weichselbaum Graben. The Karpatian to Pannonian succession is subdivided into seven 3rd order sequences. Karpatian 3rd order sequence KAR-1 is poorly defined in the study area. The Karpatian/Badenian boundary ("Styrian Unconformity") is characterized by erosional features and a prominent angular unconformity. The Badenian is subdivided into three 3rd order sequences (BAD-1 to BAD-3) attributed to the Lower, Middle and Upper Badenian. The assignment of BAD-1 and BAD-2 to global cycles TB 2.3 and TB 2.4 is problematic, but the stratigraphic position and duration of BAD-3 suggests a relation to TB 2.5. In the northern Furstenfeld subbasin, BAD-1 to BAD-3 include three prograding deltaic complexes. Marine sedimentation with deposition of mudstones and turbidites prevailed in the central Furstenfeld subbasin. seismic facies of the HST of BAD-3 in the central Furstenfeld Subbasin, confirmed by correlative outcrops, suggest the northward progradation of corallinacean limestones. A major drop in relative sea level of at least 50 to 80 m is recorded at the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary in the northern Furstenfeld Subbasin. The 3rd order Sarmatian sequence SAR-1 is related to TB 2.6. Internally, five 4th order sequences can be defined. SAR-1.1 to SAR-1.3 represent the Lower Sarmatian Grafenberg Formation. The seismic facies suggests the presence of carbonate rocks in SAR-1.1 and SAR-1.2. A relation to bryozoan-serpulid limestones observed in outcrops of the Grafenberg Formation is likely. The HST of SAR-1.3 consists of the Carinthian Gravel. SAR-1.4 and SAR-1.5 represent the Upper Sarmatian Gleisdorf Formation. Erosional surfaces are recognized in several seismic sections at the top of SAR-1.4 and SAR-1.5. This indicates major drops in relative sea level during Late Sarmatian times and at the Sarmatian/Pannonian boundary. The depth of incised valleys indicates relative sea level falls of about 50 m during both events. The Pannonian succession in the Styrian Basin includes 3rd order sequences PAN-1 and PAN-2. Following the Sarmatian/Pannonian boundary, an Early Pannonian transgression caused basin wide flooding. PAN-1 is formed by the Feldbach Formation and is separated from PAN-2 by a major erosional event. PAN-2 is subdivided into six 4th order sequences; the lowermost two correspond to the Paldau Formation. PAN-2.3 to PAN-2.5 represent the Beds of Loipersdorf and Unterlamm. PAN-2.6 is formed by the Beds of Jennersdorf. The MFS of PAN-2.6 is correlated with the MFS of PAN-2 (9.03 Ma according to Sacchi and Horvath, 2002).

AN  - 50622424; 2008-109339
AB  - This bibliography on the geographical, water and geological information of Guadalcanal was begun to fill a request for current information needed for the forensics recovery of the bodies of the US Marines of the Lt Col. Frank B. Goettge Reconnaissance patrol that was ambushed in August 1942. Part I of this report is a bibliography of the geology, geography and natural history of the island. Part II is a bibliography on the history of the island, including accounts of the Battle of Guadalcanal. This bibliography brings together selected citations from a variety of different cartographic, geographical, geological and hydrological resources and a number of specialized library collections. Most of the citations have location information on where these items can be located and either used on site, or borrowed through inter-library loan, or where copies of the items can be purchased from the originating source, or through commercial document delivery services.

T1  - COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 21 FROM COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 18 TO COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 42, AND TRANSIT STATION, SCOTT COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36342416; 13082
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a three-mile extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 21 from CSAH 42 in Prior Lake to CSAH 18 at the Southbridge Parkway in Shakopee, entirely in Scott County, Minnesota is proposed. A 1990 corridor study first identified the need for extending the highway as part of a plan to provide a new Trunk Highway (TH) 169/Bloomington Ferry Bridge and TH 169 bypass. The study identified the need for an additional north-south roadway between CSAH 83 and CSAH 18 based on Metropolitan Council spacing criteria for developed areas. The project would provide a four-lane expressway through the majority of the corridor, with three options at the CSAH 21/CSAH 18 intersection under consideration. The options include a four-lane at-grade intersection, a six-lane at-grade intersection, and a four-lane interchange. Two alignment options for a portion of the build alternative were considered in the draft EIS. Finally, the proposed project would include a 500-space surface transit station (park-and-ride station) in the southwest quadrant of the CSAH 21/CSAH 16 intersection and a pedestrian/bicycle trail along the east side of the roadway. Depending on the CSAH 21/CSAH 18 intersection option chosen, costs of the project range from $14.9 million to $21.4 million in 2005 dollars. Cost of the park-and-ride transit station is estimated at $2.3 million. This abbreviated final EIS provides errata for the draft EIS, updates information as necessary, and presents the comments on the draft and responses to those comments. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway extension would provide a needed link in the county-wide roadway system to help manage traffic resulting from current and planned development in Scott County. The addition of another continuous north-south arterial through the county would allow for the efficient movement to a wide range of destination for a wide range of purposes. The placement of the park-and-ride facility would encourage use of mass public transit facilities accessible along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace largely agricultural and undeveloped lands, including 8.4 to 8.6 acres of farmland now incorporated into three farms and 18 acres of prime or unique farmland overall. In addition, the project would displace 22 acres of a regionally significant ecological area by Dean Lake, including 7.03 to 7.07 acres of wetlands, and 22.8 to 23.6 acres of forest. As an expressway, CSAH 21 would no longer provide direct access to individual properties, and the six-lane at-grade intersection option would remove right-in access to Shakopee Crossings. Two farms would be severed, and, depending on the alignment chosen, the facility would sever 3.3 or 8.3 acres from an over 2,000-acre parcel of land owned by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The highway facility would introduce contrasting non-agricultural development in a rural area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - Influence of cover on mean column hydraulic characteristics in small pool riffle morphology streams
AN  - 20940077; 7384721
AB  - The field of ecohydraulics tries to link biological- and physical-based processes in order to describe better the distribution of plants and animals in rivers. We tested the hypothesis that the influence of cover in pools and riffles would not be detectable using average velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent intensity, and compared these measurements to locations distant from cover. We measured water velocity fluctuations using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. We found that turbulent intensity in the downstream direction (u[prime]) and the transverse or cross-stream direction (v[prime]) were the most useful in detecting the presence of cover in pools and riffles. Differences were apparent between locations near cover in pools and riffles. Turbulent kinetic energy (k) and vertical turbulent intensity (w[prime]) detected cover in pools but not in riffles. Average downstream velocity () detected cover in riffles but not in pools. Average cross-stream () and vertical () velocities did not detect any differences at all. We rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that turbulence caused by habitat features such as large rocks, wood or other channel complexities results in a statistically meaningful difference in flow characteristics in locations near cover. This finding was tempered by the fact that knowledge about how fish respond to turbulence is limited in comparison to our understanding of average velocity values. Despite the potential benefits to habitat modelling of incorporating turbulence-based metrics, application of these findings will be challenging because turbulence modelling is difficult and current models may not be appropriate for application to rivers.

T1  - A re-examination of the endangered Higgins eye pearlymussel Lampsilis higginsii in the upper Mississippi River, USA
AN  - 20878524; 7578180
AB  - We used our extensive data on freshwater mussels (Family: Unionidae), collected from 1984 to 2005 at multiple sites in the upper Mississippi River (UMR), USA, to examine the status of the endangered Higgins eye pearlymussel Lampsilis higginsii (Lea, 1857). Historically, this species inhabited an 850 km reach of the Mississippi River from Prescott, Wisconsin to Louisiana, Missouri, plus 9 UMR tributaries. After 1965 its range in the UMR declined by 50% and it was found in only 2 tributaries, the St. Croix and Wisconsin rivers. In river reaches unaffected by zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha, L. higginsii mean density ranged from 0.0 to 1.4 m super(-2) (average = 0.25 m super(-2)) and it comprised less than 2% of the unionid fauna. Recent distribution and abundance data indicate that the range of L. higginsii populations was misrepresented on historical maps and suggest that populations were in fact either absent or very uncommon both at the periphery of their historical range and in small tributaries where they were reported historically. Although this species has always been rare, it can usually be found in appropriate habitats within its current range. It was listed as endangered before there were data on its density, recruitment, and relative abundance. Although it was nearly extirpated by D. polymorpha in the late 1990s, L. higginsii appears to be resilient to zebra mussel infestations. A multi-agency conservation plan is now being implemented to reintroduce this species into small and medium-sized rivers within and outside its historical range. Our data indicate that this species is not in imminent danger of extinction, has always been rare, and is not adapted to small rivers. It would be more realistic, and beneficial to L. higginsii, to implement strategies that protect all unionid species and the habitats upon which they depend.

T1  - Lime Treatment for Containment of Source Zone Energetics Contamination: Mesocosm Study
AN  - 20839709; 7360773
AB  - This research examined basic and applied aspects of the application of an alkaline source to soil in order to reduce the source zone contamination on live fire ranges and contaminant transport into groundwater. Mesocosms were prepared using soil contaminated with hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) at 38, 11, and 4 mg/kg, respectively, in order to evaluate removal using several alkaline materials. Alkaline application methods examined included topical, well-mixed, and aqueous. These studies were supported by microbiological and toxicological assessments. Well-mixed soil-lime systems yielded high soil pH (> 12) and complete removal of TNT, RDX, and HMX from both soil and leachate by 2, 4, and 18 weeks, respectively. The pH of soil and leachate of topical application systems remained similar to the control (pH 5-6). The occurrence of RDX degradation products and anoxic leachate indicated that anaerobic biodegradation had occurred in several of the topical application mesocosms and contributed to explosive removal. The efficacy of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction in soil is indicated by the initial soil pH, and the degree of base saturation.

T1  - Toxicogenomic Analysis Provides New Insights into Molecular Mechanisms of the Sublethal Toxicity of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Eisenia fetida
AN  - 20764496; 7988096
AB  - Xenobiotics such as explosives and pesticides released into the environment can have lethal and sublethal impacts on soil organisms such as earthworms with potential subsequent impacts at higher trophic levels. To better understand the molecular toxicological mechanisms of 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive, in Eisenia fetida, earthworms were exposed to a gradient of TNT-spiked soils for 28 days and impacts on gene expression were examined using a 4032 cDNA microarray. Reproduction was increased at low doses of TNT, whereas high doses of TNT reduced juvenile production. On the basis of reproduction responses to TNT, four treatments, that is, control, 2, 10.6, and 38.7 mg/kg, were selected for gene expression studies in a balanced interwoven loop design microarray experiment in which the expression of 311 transcripts was significantly affected. Reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT- QPCR) data on 68 selected differentially and nondifferentially expressed transcripts showed a significant correlation with microarray results. The expression of genes involved in multiple biological processes was altered, including muscle contraction, neuronal signaling and growth, ubiquitinylation, fibrinolysis and coagulation, iron and calcium homeostasis, oxygen transport, and immunity. Chitinase activity assays confirmed down- regulation of chitinase genes as indicated by array and RT-QPCR data. An acute toxicity test provided evidence that dermal contact with TNT can cause bleeding, inflammation, and constriction, which may be explained by gene expression results. Sublethal doses of TNT affected the nervous system, caused blood disorders similar to methemoglobinemia, and weakened immunity in E. fetida.

T1  - Vision to Action: A Tool for Community Focus and Motivation
AN  - 20734839; 8830774
AB  - How do you find out what redevelopment actions will maintain a community's enthusiasm? What will make people embrace living in and sustaining their neighborhood? For several years the Brownfields Team of the Corps of Engineers has been developing the Vision to Action tool in cooperation with U.S. EPA Region 4. The tool has been refined based on actual experiences with community members in face-to-face interviews and community pilot sessions. It can be applied to address community needs under a variety of EPA programs. Colorful drawing is key to the success of this tool, which has produced insights into community attitudes that have not come to light in traditional workshops. By encouraging participants to draw and discuss their thoughts, the tool takes individuals' ideas and finds common themes that lead to dedicated action. By seeing what is in each other's hearts without relying on consensus, the process inspires hope, grassroots action, and synergistic connections.

T1  - Steady-State and Dynamic Desorption of Organic Vapor from Activated Carbon with Electrothermal Swing Adsorption
AN  - 20620524; 7987618
AB  - A new method to achieve steady-state and dynamic-tracking desorption of organic compounds from activated carbon was developed and tested with a bench-scale system. Activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) was used to adsorb methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) from air streams. Direct electrothermal heating was then used to desorb the vapor to generate select vapor concentrations at 500 ppmv and 5000 ppmv in air. Dynamic-tracking desorption was also achieved with carefully controlled yet variable vapor concentrations between 250 ppmv and 5000 ppmv, while also allowing the flow rate of the carrier gas to change by 100%. These results were also compared to conditions when recovering MEK as a liquid, and using microwaves as the source of energy to regenerate the adsorbent to provide MEK as a vapor or a liquid.

T1  - Light reflection and transmission by a temperate snow cover
AN  - 20349532; 7566592
AB  - An understanding of the reflection and transmission of light by snow is important for snow thermodynamics, hydrology, ecology and remote sensing. Snow has an intricate microstructure replete with ice/air interfaces that scatter light. Spectral observations of light reflection and transmission, from 400 to 1000 nm, were made in temperate snowpacks, under cold and under melting conditions. The optical observations were made using a dual-detector spectroradiometer. One detector was placed above the snow surface to monitor the incident and reflected solar irradiance, and the second detector was placed at the base of snow cover to measure downwelling irradiance. The optical measurements were supplemented by a physical characterization of the snow, including depth, density and an estimate of grain size. In general, transmitted light levels were low and showed a strong spectral dependence, with maximum values between 450 and 550 nm. For example, a 10 cm thick snow layer reduced visible transmission (500 nm) to about 5% of the incident irradiance, and infrared transmission (800 nm) to less than 1%. Extinction coefficients were in the range 3-30 m super(-1), and tended to decrease slightly as the snow aged and increase as snow density increased.

T1  - Can Oyster Restoration Reverse Cultural Eutrophication in Chesapeake Bay?
AN  - 20295194; 7450450
AB  - We investigated the hypothesis that effects of cultural eutrophication can be reversed through natural resource restoration via addition of an oyster module to a predictive eutrophication model. We explored the potential effects of native oyster restoration on dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorophyll, light attenuation, and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in eutrophic Chesapeake Bay. A tenfold increase in existing oyster biomass is projected to reduce system-wide summer surface chlorophyll by approximately 1 mg m super(-3), increase summer-average deep-water DO by 0.25 g m super(-3), add 2100 kg C (20%) to summer SAV biomass, and remove 30,000 kg d super(-1) nitrogen through enhanced denitrification. The influence of oyster restoration on deep extensive pelagic waters is limited. Oyster restoration is recommended as a supplement to nutrient load reduction, not as a substitute.

T1  - Effect of Glyphosate Rate and Spray Volume on Control of Giant Salvinia
AN  - 19977649; 7355741
AB  - Giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta (D. S. Mitchell)) is a free-floating, aquatic fern native to Brazil that has established andbecome a nuisance in many lakes, rivers, irrigation canals, and reservoirs of the United States (Jacono 1999, Jacono and Pitman 2001, McFarland et al. 2004). Outside its native range, giant salvinia is considered one of the world's worst weeds due to its prolific growth habit, effective means of dispersal, tolerance to adverse growing conditions, and difficulty of control (Oliver 1993, Jacono and Pitman 2001, McFarland et al. 2004). Heavy infestations not only limit humanuse of water resources (fishing, boating, irrigation) but can alsonegatively impact the ecology of aquatic systems by restricting light penetration, degrading water quality (decreased dissolved oxygen andpH), and reducing valuable native plant and animal habitat and biodiversity (Thomas and Room 1986, Oliver 1993, McFarland et al. 2004).

T1  - Subsurface Applications of Triclopyr and 2,4-D Amine for Control of Water Chestnut (Trapa natans L.)
AN  - 19965392; 7355743
AB  - The invasive floating-leaf plant water chestnut (Trapa natans L.) is a detriment to other aquatic organisms when it completely covers the water surface in lake coves and quiescent stretches of rivers (Groth et al. 1996, Caraco and Cole 2002, Strayer et al. 2003). In the U.S., water chestnut is found in Vermont south to Virginia, with historic nuisance growth levels recorded in the Hudson-Mohawk River system, Lake Champlain, and the Potomac River (Countryman 1970 and 1978, Gangstad 1981, Kiviat 1993). While management activities controlled this plant in the 1960s and 1970s, it is onceagain becoming a widespread problem in northeastern waterways (Hummel and Kiviat 2004).

T1  - A Review of Beach Nourishment Impacts on Marine Turtles
AN  - 19640023; 7372629
AB  - Beach nourishment is not only an effective method for protection and enhancement of coastal development, but can aid beach restoration efforts after storm-induced erosion. However, the sand-placement processes by which beach nourishment projects produce beaches differ from those that create natural beaches. While beaches along the southeastern United States are extremely valuable for coastal development and tourism revenue, they also serve as vital nesting and foraging grounds for five species of threatened or endangered sea turtles -- loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempi), and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata)). Even though beach nourishment provides an increased quantity of potential nesting habitat, it may or may not provide the quality of habitat necessary for successful nesting and hatching. Important physical characteristics for sea turtle nesting habitat include sediment type, grain size, beach shear resistance, moisture content, sand temperature, gas diffusion, contaminant presence, and beach profile. Changes to natural beach characteristics may adversely impact nest site selection, digging behavior, clutch viability, and hatchling emergence. In addition, accidental injury or death (incidental take) can occur to pelagic or nesting sea turtles when entrained by hopper dredges during a nourishment project. Due to declining sea turtle populations and the prevalence of beach nourishment projects, it is critical to understand the physical and biological factors necessary for suitable sea turtle nesting habitat.

T1  - Threatened and Endangered Species: At What Cost? The Corps of Engineers Looks at Expenditures and Priorities
AN  - 19596481; 7320397
AB  - Current political conditions, primarily budgetary uncertainty, and the related reluctance to make funding commitments for future generations, have raised questions about the costs of conservation and environmental protection that have not previously been asked. As Federal investments are scrutinized and budgets become ever more constrained, the costs associated with environmental requirements could begin to be of greater importance and to influence decisions on Federal projects. In response to concerns about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) spending under the Endangered Species Act (P.L. 93-205) (ESA), a limited investigation was performed to determine the accuracy of reported Corps expenditures. The investigation showed that, for particular groups of species, actual conservation costs for threatened and endangered species may be twice the amounts previously reported in the annual ESA expenditure reporting to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In light of this finding, the Corps has sought a means to provide more accurate and consistent reporting of expenditures for addressing threatened and endangered species. A Species Costs Template (template) has been developed to identify the types and magnitude of costs related to the ESA and to counteract the impediments (legal, institutional, and practical) to underreporting costs. The template will be used by the Corps for reporting ESA costs beginning with Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05) (reported in January 2006). Five broad categories of expenditures (effects determination costs, ESA protection and conservation costs, equipment costs, opportunity costs, and other species costs) are identified by the template.

T1  - Invasive aquatic plant expansion in Walter F. George Lake
AN  - 19567409; 8831041
AB  - Walter F. George Lake, a large multipurpose reservoir on the Chattahoochee River, is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the primary purposes of navigation and hydropower, and secondary purposes of recreation, regulation of stream flow, and fish and wildlife conservation. The lake has not historically had problems with invasive aquatic plants. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata), an invasive non-native species, was first discovered on the lake in 1991 at the East Bank Public Use Area. This plant spread slowly for several years, but in 2002 several new infestations were identified on the lake. Herbicidal treatments have proved to be expensive and largely ineffective in reducing the rapid expansion of hydrilla and other invasive species. Annual interagency surveys have revealed that invasive nuisance aquatic plants are now well established and expanding within the lake, with hydrilla found on approximately 2,400 acres in the 2006 survey. A comprehensive management plan is being developed by the Corps to address aquatic vegetation management issues on the lake and the Corps is coordinating with appropriate Federal and State agencies, as well as local stakeholders, on development of this plan. The plan will delineate existing vegetation levels; develop an estimate for reasonable spread of aquatic plants within the lake based on reservoir/water conditions and plant biology; identify management objectives; evaluate management options and resource impacts (including no action); select best plan; describe implementation strategy, and define monitoring plan. The plan will include adequate public and agency involvement/input, as well as preparation of an Environmental Assessment. At this stage in the plan development, the Corps believes the best option is to manage hydrilla by the introduction of the triploid (sterile) grass carp (Ctenopharyngoden idella). The proposed action is to introduce the grass carp at a relatively low stocking rate into the lake at areas of high hydrilla concentration since the hydrilla infestation is a relatively small percentage of the lake at this time. Delays in implementation of this action would miss a "window of opportunity" and significantly increase the management cost and reduce the likelihood of successful control of this invasive species.

T1  - Application of Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis to Aquatic Nuisance Species
AN  - 19545804; 7261797
AB  - The spread of nonindigenous (nonnative) species introduced into the United States is a significant and growing national problem and results in lost agricultural productivity, increased health problems, native species extinctions, and expensive prevention and eradication efforts. Thousands of nonindigenous species have either become established or spread, and introduction of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) into freshwater lakes threaten aquatic biodiversity. Expanding global trade is likely to increase the number of species that are spread across the globe, so the need to develop an approach to predict potential ANS invasions is great. Risk assessments currently being used to assess ANS risk rely on qualitative or semiquantitative information and expert opinion; thus, such approaches lack transparency and repeatability. A more quantitative approach is needed to augment the qualitative approaches currently in use. A quantitative approach with the use of the traditional ecological risk assessment (traditional ERA) framework combined with decision analysis tools was developed for assessing ANS risks in which the causative ecological risk agent is an organism rather than a chemical. This paper presents a systematic risk assessment framework that includes structured decision analysis to help organize and analyze pertinent data, state assumptions, address uncertainties in estimating the probability of an undesired ANS introduction, or spread and integrate these outputs with stakeholder values. This paper also describes when and how decision analysis tools can be used in such assessments for ANS. This framework and methodology will enable risk managers to systematically evaluate and compare alternatives and actions supporting ANS risk management and thus credibly prioritize resources.

T1  - Detailed CVOC source area investigation in the context of a fractured bedrock conceptual site model; a case study
AN  - 1282826507; 2013-014879
AB  - Dissolved-phase transport of groundwater contaminants through crystalline bedrock fractures is often highly heterogeneous and challenging to conceptualize. Groundwater flow can be restricted to a discrete subset of connected bedrock fractures, while contaminant transport may not be well correlated with the degree of fracture-zone hydraulic activity. While characterizing hydraulic interconnectivity between source areas and receptors and between individual wells is a desired component of a conceptual site model (CSM), scale issues may prevent the identification of specific contaminant pathways or the prediction of contaminant concentrations throughout a site. Detailed characterization in known or suspected contamination source areas, in the context of an existing CSM, not only guides remediation and monitoring strategies, but also will enhance understanding of contaminant transport to potential off-site receptors. The case study area in coastal Maine is underlain by fractured metavolcanic and intrusive bedrock, present at or near the ground surface. Water levels are as deep as 120 feet in some wells. Groundwater flow is restricted to fractures, lithologic contacts, or faults within the bedrock. Chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) discharged on site from past operations have been detected in wells at concentrations varying from more than 3,000 micrograms per liter to below detection limits, with a heterogeneous spatial distribution. A variety of investigations has led to the development of a CSM for the site. Information obtained from detailed source area investigations may allow identification of specific contaminant pathways within the source area, but not at the greater distances that are present between the source area and some receptors. Investigations, conducted or planned, that focus on the CVOC source areas include: geologic and fracture mapping, surface and borehole geophysical surveys, whole-well and packer sampling, monitoring well installation and angled coring, rock matrix analysis for CVOCs, rock mass characterization, soil sampling, photolineament analysis, borehole radar investigation, hydrophysical logging, packer sampling, and water level monitoring. A combination of conventional and less frequently-applied techniques has allowed an assessment of contaminant transport pathways in the source area, a refinement of the CSM for the overall site, and a more direct evaluation of remedial options.

T1  - Lessons learned for future designs from thermal treatment of perchlorate in soil
AN  - 1282821483; 2013-014860
AB  - A soil remediation project using ex-situ thermal desorption to remove explosive compounds was modified at the latter stages of planning to include treatment of perchlorate. The design-build approach consisted of a bench scale study, which verified the treatability of perchlorate at baseline treatment conditions, and pilot scale studies, which helped refine the process parameters for full-scale treatment. During initial full-scale operations, a high number of treated soil batches failed to meet the project treatment criteria. Analytical results of samples collected from various stages along the treatment train indicated a potential for perchlorate contamination to by-pass the primary treatment process. Slower feed rates and higher operating temperatures did not show any conclusive positive impact on treatment efficiency. Recycling the particulates from the air pollution control equipment back into the feed soil was initially considered, but was deemed infeasible with the current equipment design configuration. A cost-effective solution was achieved by reducing the size of the treated soil sample batch volume, thereby reducing the amount of soil requiring re-treatment when occasional failures occurred. Future plant designs intended for treatment of perchlorate could potentially improve destruction efficiency by recycling particulates to the beginning of the process instead of the treated soil discharge.

T1  - SAN JUAN CREEK AND WESTERN SAN MATEO CREEK WATERSHED SPECIAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36349781; 12597
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a special area management plan for the San Juan Creek and Western San Mateo Creek watersheds in Orange County, California is proposed. The study area covers the two watersheds located in the southern portion of the county, including portions of the cities of Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. The San Juan Creek encompasses 113,000 acres, extending from Cleveland National Forest in the Santa Ana Mountains to the Pacific Ocean at Doheny State Beach near Dana Point Harbor. The San Mateo Creek watershed study area includes the western 23.6 square miles of the 139-square-mile watershed. In addition to the required No Action Alternatives, of which there are five, the draft EIS of November 2005 addressed 12 action alternatives addressing development and open space provisions. The preferred alternative (Alternative B-12) would address subbasin-level guidelines and principles and overall goals and objectives based on input from the Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, and California authorities as well as the environmental community and the general public. Alternative B-12 would focus on protecting resources associated with: 1) the Chiquita Subbasin by protecting Chiquita Canyon above the San Mateo Water District treatment plant and below Tesoro High School and by protecting Chiquita Canyon west of Chiquita Creek; 2) Verdugo Canyon; 3) Sulphur Canyon and Gobernadora Creek; 4) wildlife movement along San Juan Creek; and 5) habitat linkage connectivity between the San Mateo watershed and the San Juan watershed; and 6) the vast majority of the San Mateo Creek watershed. This Alternative would also concentrate development in the San Juan Creek watershed in areas with lower resource values, while continuing to protect high resource values areas. This abbreviated final EIS presents comments on the draft EIS and responses to those comments and includes copies of the draft and a document containing related figures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B-12 would protect 7,851.5 acres of the 8,729.5 acres of riparian habitat within the study area and conserve 1,693.7 acres of the 2,174.3 acres of riparian habitats within the study planning area, including the preservation of such mainstem creeks as San Juan Creek, Chiquita Creek, Gobernadora Creek, Cristianitos Creek, La Paz Creek, Gabino Creek, and Talega Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development activities would impact jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands. These wetland impacts would be mitigation by permanent protection of other wetland areas, which will fall under adaptive management regimes, as well as 18 acres of existing/created/restored wetland habitat within the Gobernadora Ecological Restoration Area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Public Works Appropriations (P.L. 94-355). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 06-0180D, Volume 30, Number 1.

T1  - CASOTTE LANDING LNG PROJECT, PASCAGOULA, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (DOCKET NOS. PF05-9-000 AND CP05-420-000).
AN  - 36342076; 12591
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and ancillary facilities near Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi is proposed. To maintain pace with growing energy demands, industry authorities estimate that consumption of natural gas in the Untied States will grow from 22.4 trillion cubic feet per year in 2004 to 27.0 trillion cubic feet per year by 2025. Domestic supplies of natural gas will not keep up with demand. As a result, US distributors of natural gas are constantly seeking additional, more efficient facilities to import LNG from foreign sources. The project proposed by the applicant, Bayou Casotte Energy LLC, would include a ship unloading facility with a single berth capable of receiving LNG ships with cargo capacities of up to 20,000 cubic meters; three 160,000-cubic-meter full containment LNG storage tanks; a closed-loop intermediate fluid vaporizer system utilizing cooling water from the adjacent Chevron Pascagoula Refinery as a heat source, sized for a normal sendout of 1.3 billion cubic feet per day; various ancillary buildings and facilities at the terminal site; five pipeline interconnects originating from a 1.5-mile, 36-inch-diameter spur pipeline; and associated pipeline support facilities, including two meter stations at interconnects with the existing pipeline systems. Construction of the terminal slip would require excavation of 4.5 million cubic yards of material, of 1.0 million cubic feet would be used for fill, leveling, construction of the hurricane levee at the terminal site. The remaining material and 250,000 cubic yards to be dredged annual for maintenance purposes would be dumped in the Pascagoula Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site, which is located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico south of Horn Island. In addition to these facilities, which fall under the regulatory jurisdiction of the federal government, nonjurisdictional facilities associated with the project would include a natural gas liquid extraction system and pipeline, electric transmission lines, an electric substation, and a wasteheat, water circulation system. The relocation of two crude oil tankers would be required to maintain shipping capacity with respect to the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery and to take advantage of the dual-slip design of the proposed marine terminal slip. The terminal and pipeline facilities would transport a nominal rate of 1.3 billion cubic feet per day of imported LNG to U.S. markets via interconnects with five existing intrastate and interstate pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed terminal site. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, other existing and approved LNG terminal sites, and two alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would increase the nation's capacity for the import of LNG and the conversion of LNG into gas for transport to the regional market, thereby helping to ensure the continued growth in the supply of this essential source of energy for domestic and industrial uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land requirements for the terminal site would occupy 264 acres during construction and operation. Construction of the pipeline interconnects and meter stations would affect 17.4 acres, 7.9 acres of which would be displaced permanently during operation of the pipeline facilities. Approximately 117 acres of low-quality upland vegetation and 151.1 acres of low- to medium-quality wetlands would be affected. Approximately 123.5 acres of wetlands would be permanently displaced. Nonjurisdictional facilities would displace 36.2 acres during construction and 1.8 acres during operation. Approximately 12.3 acres of wetlands would be affected and 0.9 acre permanently displaced. Dredging and disposal of dredged material would destroy bethos and benthic habitat at the terminal site and at the ocean dumping site. The jurisdictional pipeline would traverse two canals, while the nonjurisdictional pipeline would cross five perennial ditches and one perennial drainage canal. Essential fish habitat for 18 species could occur in the area of the terminal, though no significant impacts to these habitats are expected.

T1  - US 95 GARWOOD TO SAGLE, KOOTENAI AND BONNER COUNTIES, IDAHO.
AN  - 36342435; 12588
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 35.1-mile segment of US 95 between Garwood (Mile Post 438.24) and Sagle (Mile Post 469.75) in Kootenai and Bonner counties, Idaho is proposed. Present traffic volumes within the corridor have nearly exceeded the capacity of the existing highway during peak periods at multiple locations. As traffic volumes increase, the highway's level of service will decrease, resulting in increased congestion and delays. The many public an private access points along the highway limit the facility's capacity and contribute to increased vehicle crashes. the accident statistics for the highway demonstrate that this section of US 95 has a crash severity rate and a fatality rate greater than the statewide average for similar highways. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives cover six segments that make up the corridor. The Yellow Alternative would reconstruct the freeway along the existing alignment, with three options in Sagle with respect to interchange location and frontage road locations. The Blue Alternative would provide a freeway along the existing alignment with short segments along new alignment. The Brown Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would provide a facility similar to the Blue or Yellow alternative in each area, but offering refinements. Regardless of the action alternative selected, the facility would provide two travel lanes in each direction separated by a 50-foot median along the route, excepting in wetland areas, where a narrower median would be used to prevent excessive wetland losses. In the Cocolalla, Westmond, and Sagle areas, the Brown and Yellow alternatives would provide a 22-foot median with a concrete barrier. A bicycle/pedestrial path would be provide along the highway. All action alternatives would also include frontage roads. Access would be confined to interchanges. Rights-of-way acquisition cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $50.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: An improved US 95 would accommodate present and future traffic demand improve the safety of the highway for all users. Confining access to interchanges would ensure safe, efficient movement of vehicles along the facility. at-grade railroad crossings would be replaced by bridges, eliminating railroad/automobile conflicts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 72 residences, 35 businesses, four sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, three recreation areas, 675 acres of farmland, 77 acres of riparian habitat, and 693 acres of forested land, 19.2 acres of floodplain, and 103.4 acres of emergent scrub-shrub and emergent scrub-shrub/forested wetlands; of all alternatives, the Brown Alternative would affect the largest extent of wetland. All action alternatives would affect Cocolalla Creek. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 39 residences and four businesses. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - INTERIM OPERATIONAL PLAN (IOP) FOR PROTECTION OF THE CAPE SABLE SEASIDE SPARROW, EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF MAY 2002).
AN  - 36348445; 12575
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water management plan to protect the habitat of the federally protected Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS) in the Everglades National Park (ENP), Big Cypress National Preserve, and adjacent lands in southern Florida is proposed. Water levels in the affected areas have been altered due to structural and land use changes resulting from the Central and Southern Florida Project, which provides water supply and flood control benefits in and around the ENP. In February 1999, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a biological opinion on modified water deliveries to the Everglades National Park Project, Test 7 of the Experimental Program, and the C-111 Project. The opinion indicated that current water management operations of Test 7 would jeopardize the continued existence of the CSSS in the ENP, Big Cypress National Preserve, and adjacent lands in southern Florida. The FWS opinion also outlined a recommended alternative to rectify the situation; this alternative would require maintaining water levels at ENP 205 at or below six feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum for 60 consecutive days between March 1 and July 15; ensuring that 30 percent, 45 percent, and 60 percent of required regulatory releases crossing the Tamiami Trail enter the ENP east of the L-67 extension in 20000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, or produce hydroperiods and water levels in the vicinity of the South Dade Conveyance System that meet or exceed conditions that would result from implementation of the exact provisions of Test 7, Phase II operations; and produce hydroperiods and water levels in the vicinity of certain subpopulations of CSSS that equal or exceed conditions that would be produced by implementing the exact provisions of Test 7, Phase II operations. Based on the FWS opinion, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers propose to implement an interim operational plan for the protection of the CSSS. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) were considered in the draft EIS of February 2001. The Corps' preferred alternative (Alternative 5), which was to be implemented in two phases, would meet the FWS targets. The recommended alternative outlined in the final EIS of May 2002 would increase flows from S-332B to 500 cubic feet per second (cfs) from August to January, 325 cfs in February, June, and July, and 125 cfs from March to May. The S-176 structure operation thresholds would change slightly. A draft supplemental EIS, issued in October 2001, considered a new alternative (Alternative 7). In addition to some revisions in the system, Alternative 7 would include a second seepage reservoir for Pump Station S-332B, the removal of the southern four miles of Levee 67 Extension and canal, and the extension of the S-333 spillway apron by 30 feet. Alternative 7R, a revision of Alternative 7, is now the recommended alternative. This final supplement to the final EIS of confirms the selection of Alternative 7R as the recommended alternative. Seven other alternatives are considered in the supplement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interim operational plan proposed by the Corps of Engineers would provide optimum protection for breeding CSSS populations, while continuing to meet the flood protection and water supply requirements authorized under the Central and Southern Florida Project. Removal of a berm in the vicinity of Taylor Slough would allow sheet flow to enter the slough, improving its hydrological regime. Increased ponding depths and hydroperiods would provide more natural hydrological conditions, preventing exotic nuisance plant species and encouraging natural wetland species. A reduction in annual flooding duration would also be beneficial to native vegetation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Effects on hydrology in some areas of the would be negative. Increased flood duration could lead to some loss of wetland vegetation as well as upland vegetation in the southern portion of the affected areas. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and Public Law 101-618 and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - HERBERT HOOVER DIKE, REACHES 2 AND 3 MAJOR REHABILITATION EVALUATION REPORT, LAKE OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF JULY 1999).
AN  - 36343623; 12576
AB  - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation of the Reaches 2 and 3 of the 143-mile Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) around Lake Okeechobee in southern Florida is proposed. The study area around the lake includes parts of Glades, Hendry, Martin, Okeechobee, and Palm Beach counties. The HHD was originally constructed as a series of embankments by local interests, circa 1915, to provide flood protection and irrigation water. The embankments were improved to the current levee system by the Corps of Engineers during the 1930s and 1940s. Major culvert modifications were made in the 1970s. Since then, only as-needed repairs have been made to the system. Recent high-water events and major boils and pipings around the dike have suggested the need for major rehabilitation. The Corps is preparing a series of Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Reports (MRER) to document seepage and stability concerns and provide rehabilitation options. The initial MRER and draft EIS of July 1999 focused on the southeastern portion of the HHD (Reach 1) and considered five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative for rehabilitation. This draft supplement to the 1999 draft EIS addresses eastern section of Reach 2 and portions of Reach 3. Following the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers reconsidered the design of the Reach 1 project and made substantial changes in that design. The revised plan for Reach 1 formed the basis for the planning for rehabilitation of Reaches 2 and 3. Both plans require the acquisition of additional real estate to allow for expansion of the seepage berms. However, land acquisition could be an extended process; hence the Corps of Engineers has decided to proceed with those elements of the plan that can be implemented within the footprint of the existing dikes in Reaches 2 an 3. The recommended plan for Reach 3 and the eastern portion of Reach 2 would provide for the construction of a seepage berm extending to the far side of the existing toe ditch at the edge of the existing project rights-of-way; the toe ditch would be filled. In addition, a seepage cutoff wall would be provided in the center of the dike. The design for the western portion of Reach 2 would be modified slightly so that, instead of a toe ditch outside the levee, a borrow canal is present. The western portion of Reach 2 is characterized by a clay layer found approximately 20-40 feet below the surface; such a clay layer is not present along Reach 3 or the eastern section of Reach 2. Tying the cutoff wall along the western section of Reach 2 into the clay layer would result in less seepage than would be allowed by the cutoff wall alone. This would enable construction of a smaller seepage berm than is necessary in Reach 3 or eastern Reach 2. The berm would extend only to the canal edge adjacent to the dike; the canal would not be filled. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would improve slope stability and seepage control and reduce the probability of a breach along the two improved reaches. The overall rehabilitation project, or which the proposal at hand would be one component, would protect life, property, and wildlife habitat within the floodplain controlled by the HHD. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would have minimal adverse effects on area hydrology, water supply, water quality, and water management. Alteration of local hydrology could affect farmers if the availability of irrigation water were affected. Excavation and fill of low quality wetlands would be required along the landward toes of the dike sections. The foraging habitat for wading birds, including federally protected species, along the landward toe ditches would be altered, and reptiles, amphibians, and fish utilizing these ditches would be lost during construction. Aesthetics and recreational resources would be impaired during construction.

T1  - I-69 EVANSVILLE TO INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA PROJECT SECTION 1, EVANSVILLE TO OAKLAND CITY, INDIANA.
AN  - 36342653; 12571
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a 13-mile section of Interstate 69 (I-69) in Indiana from I-64 in Evansville to State Route (SR) 64 in Oakland City is proposed. This is draft EIS tiers off a December 2003 final EIS on the construction of I-69 from Evansville to Indianapolis. The corridor, which is part of the expanding Oakland City/Evansville urban development area, has experienced rapid population growth and structural development in recent years, placing stress on the existing transportation system. The project corridor has been divided into three segments for development of alternatives. Alternatives carried forward for detailed consideration include two each for the south and central segments and three for the north segment. The preferred alternative for the south segment would begin at the Blue Bell Road/Warrenton Road bridge over I-164 and continue 3.9 miles northward to a point 900 feet north of Pigeon Creek. The preferred alternative for the central segment would begin at at the northern terminus of the south segment and extend 5.4 miles northeastward to a point approximately 3,000 feet south of County Road (CR) 450S. The preferred alternative for the north segment would begin at the northern terminus of the central segment and extend 3.6 miles to the north to north of the proposed SR 64 interchange. The three preferred alternatives are collectively known as Alternative 4. Estimated costs of the preferred south, central, and north segment alternatives are $92.7 million, $71.7 million, and $63.1 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of freeway would improve accessibility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety in the corridor study area. Economic performance in the area would be boosted NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for all segments would displace 720 acres of land within 114 parcels, 18 residences, 1.5 acres of wetlands, 33.1 acres of forest, and 613 acres of farmland. The highway would traverse 770 feet of perennial stream, 10,090 feet of intermittent stream, and 4,035 feet of ephemeral stream, affecting 35.7 acres of floodplain and requiring relocation of 2,850 feet of stream. Thirteen public road closures would be necessary. The project would affect the wildlife corridors at Pigeon Creek bridge and beneath the I-69 bridge over CR 450S. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Park Service Organic Act of 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - Comparison of transcriptional responses in liver tissue and primary hepatocyte cell cultures after exposure to hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine.
AN  - 68288160; 17217515
AB  - Cell culture systems are useful in studying toxicological effects of chemicals such as Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), however little is known as to how accurately isolated cells reflect responses of intact organs. In this work, we compare transcriptional responses in livers of Sprague-Dawley rats and primary hepatocyte cells after exposure to RDX to determine how faithfully the in vitro model system reflects in vivo responses.
          Expression patterns were found to be markedly different between liver tissue and primary cell cultures before exposure to RDX. Liver gene expression was enriched in processes important in toxicology such as metabolism of amino acids, lipids, aromatic compounds, and drugs when compared to cells. Transcriptional responses in cells exposed to 7.5, 15, or 30 mg/L RDX for 24 and 48 hours were different from those of livers isolated from rats 24 hours after exposure to 12, 24, or 48 mg/Kg RDX. Most of the differentially expressed genes identified across conditions and treatments could be attributed to differences between cells and tissue. Some similarity was observed in RDX effects on gene expression between tissue and cells, but also significant differences that appear to reflect the state of the cell or tissue examined. Liver tissue and primary cells express different suites of genes that suggest they have fundamental differences in their cell physiology. Expression effects related to RDX exposure in cells reflected a fraction of liver responses indicating that care must be taken in extrapolating from primary cells to whole animal organ toxicity effects.

T1  - SOUTHWEST GULF RAILROAD COMPANY CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION EXEMPTION, MEDINA COUNTY, TEXAS (FINANCE DOCKET NO. 34284) (DRAFT AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS).
AN  - 36345174; 12561
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a seven-mile rail line from a proposed limestone quarry to be operated by Vulcan Construction Material LP to the Del Rio subdivision of the Union Pacific Railroad Company near Dunlay in Medina County, Texas are proposed. The rail line would begin approximately seven miles south of the quarry site and connect with the Union Pacific line at a milepost 250 near Dunlay. As part of the proposed action, a loading track would be provided at the quarry site to handle and load materials into rail cars. The layout of the loading track would consist of either a two-mile loading loop or a series of one-mile parallel tracks in the same general vicinity. In addition to the loading track, the applicant would also construct a rail interchange area, close to the connection with the Union Pacific line, consisting of a single main track with a possible side track extending approximately one mile, which could be used to store a loaded or unloaded train temporarily. The railway operations plan would provide for two round trips per day to transport limestone from the quarry to the Union Pacific rail line. Four rail line route alternatives, alternative transport modes, and a No Action Alternative, which would involve the use of trucks to transport limestone from the quarry, are considered in this draft EIS. In addition to the November draft EIS, this EIS package includes a December draft supplemental EIS that addresses: 1) evaluation of three alternative rail routes not studied in detail in the draft EIS, comparing these three routes to the alternatives addressed in the draft; 2) a discussion of the progress of additional historic property identification efforts following issuance of the draft EIS; and 3) additional noise analysis relevant to rail operations during the night. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The rail line would enable the efficient, cost-effective transport of limestone from the quarry to markets in the Houston area as well as to other markets in the Southeast, Gulf Coast, and Rio Grande Valley regions of Texas. Moreover, the rail line would operate as a common carrier, providing service upon reasonable request to all shippers tendering traffic; the availability of a common carrier within this corridor would open the way for development of additional economically viable industries in the immediate area. The project would obviate the need for 1,700 truck trips per day to transport limestone from the quarry to the Union Pacific rail line. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The proposed alternative route would cross seven area roadways at-grade, resulting in periodic traffic delays and the creation of a safety hazard. The rail line would cross a floodplain and could affect sediment loading of traversed streams and undermine streambank stability at crossings. Bridges across several large streams would result in wetland encroachments. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be cleared from the rail rights-of-way, ad the line would present a obstacle to wildlife movements. Construction and operation of the rail line would adversely impact cultural resources within the corridor. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.)

T1  - MARINE CONTAINER TERMINAL AT CHARLESTON NAVAL COMPLEX, CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
AN  - 36346471; 12559
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 287-acre marine container terminal on the Cooper River at the Charleston Naval Complex of North Charleston, South Carolina are proposed. A recently updated forecast of container cargo throughput for the naval complex would grow from 1.65 million TEU (one TEU is equivalent to one standard 20-foot shipping container) in 2004 to 4.0 million TEU in 2025. Moreover, new facilities are necessary to accommodate the recently developed post-Panamax class of cargo ships. Estimates indicate that the nine berths at the three existing complex terminals have a maximum annual capacity of 2.6 million TEU. Under the proposal, the applicant, the South Carolina State Ports Authority, would develop 11.5 acres of wharf structure on the west side of Cooper River, with a berthing area 40 feet deep and 150 feet wide. The wharf would be include six container cranes with a minimum outreach of 200 feet. The wharf would include three berths with an overall length of 3,510 linear feet. The applicant would also develop 225 acres of lighted, paved area for container processing and storage upland of the wharf and 40 acres of paved area and buildings for support gate structures and other operations and facilities. To provide adequate access to the terminal, the South Carolina Department of Transportation would construct a four-lane access road from the entrance of the port facility to Interstate 26 (I-26), reconstruct the interchange at Exit 217 on the interstate, construct a four-lane roadway at Stromboli Avenue to provide eastbound and westbound access to I-26 via the port access road; reopen Stromboli Avenue to through traffic, and construct a second bridge across Shipyard Creek from the local access roadway to Tidewater Road. The project would include the development of 25 acres of stormwater management facilities at the project site, focused on a stormwater treatment pond along the south side of the terminal. In addition to the proposed development, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would not require federal permit authorization, and terminal site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help provide for state-owned port facilities that meet the reasonably projected throughput capacity for containerized cargo in the state of South Carolina for the next 20 years. Development of the proposed project would probably spur ancillary commercial and industrial development within the region; it would be likely that such development would occur in appropriately zoned areas. Maritime support industries would be most likely to located in the Port Overlay District established by the city of North Charleston for such purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Terminal development would transform a site that is largely undeveloped and natural to a site containing heavy industrial uses; however, this impact would be in keeping with the current zoning and planned redevelopment of the naval complex. Approximately 2.4 acres of freshwater marsh, 56.6 acres of open-water habitat, 9.6 acres of tidal wetlands would be displaced by the terminal. Essential fish habitat in the displaced by the project footprint would 2.1 acres of intertidal mudflats, 2.4 acres of shallow subtidal water, and 52.1 acres of deep water habitat. Fish habitat impacts would also include deepening of 77.9 acres of estuarine water column. Road construction would displace 4.2 acres of tidal marsh associated with Shipyard Creek, and 0.4 acre of freshwater wetlands. Nonmaritime uses in the Port Overlay District could experience pressure to relocate from parties interested in maritime support services. Commercial and some residential property would be acquired and displaced due to access road rights-of-way development. The project would affect two Cold War-era properties at the naval complex (buildings 643 and 686), but these are not listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Visual aesthetics from a downstream recreational marine would be degraded somewhat. Shoreline processes and floodplain capacity would be negatively affected.

T1  - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999).
AN  - 36343257; 12565
AB  - PURPOSE: The drilling of new natural gas exploration and development wells on a leased 198,034-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) of Sublette County, Wyoming is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschultz Exploration Corporation, BP America Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by U.S. Highway 191 and Wyoming Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, live stock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. There are currently 457 producing wells on 322 well pads in the PAPA. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 295 wells on 26 well pads during 2006. Road miles within the PAPA would increase from 176.5 miles to 182.4 miles by the end of 2006. A total of 4,399 additional wells and the associated gathering pipelines and other ancillary facilities would be developed over the life of the PAPA development plan. Drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the "tight-gas" formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. This draft supplement to the October 1999 final EIS analyzes three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicants' proposal. The draft supplement was required because the long-term plan of the applicants has changed significantly since the October 1999 record of decision that accompanies the final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from wells in the PAPA would generate substantial revenue for Sublette County and for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New developments would disturb 12,2768 acres of soils and vegetation, which would conflict with the goals of the Sublette County Resource Conservation Zoning District and severely degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Project developments would also displace habitat for sage grouse and bald eagle nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be affected by water depletions. Drilling in critical big game winter habitat would occur, though the affected land will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1. Forage capacity for livestock would be lost due to disturbance of soils and vegetation. Possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant impacts, including exposure to benzene. Developments could also affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Noise levels within 2,800 feet of drilling sites would exceed federal standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (P.L. 94-377).

In the present study, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to a range of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentrations (0.44-44 micromol/L [0.1-10 mg/L] and 4.4-22.0 micromol/L [1.0-5.0 mg/L] in 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively). Median lethal concentrations of 11.93 micromol/L (2.7 mg/L; 95% confidence limit [CL], 10.29-13.83 micromol/L) and 9.68 micromol/L (2.20 mg/L; 95% CL, 9.17-10.22 micromol/L) were calculated in the 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively, and median lethal body residue of 101.0 micromol/kg (95% CL, 86.0-118.7 micromol/kg) was calculated in 4-d experiments. To study bioaccumulation, fish were exposed to 4.4 micromol/L (1 mg/L) of TNT for 12 h. Rapid bioaccumulation of TNT occurred within the first 10 min of exposure (ku = 30.4 L/kg/ h). Elimination of sigmaTNT (molar sum of TNT and degradation products 2- and 4-aminodinitrotoluenes) was fast, with an elimination rate (ke) of 2.24/h and a short half-life (0.31 h). The bioconcentration factors determined using 6-h mean tissue and water concentrations of sigmaTNT were 8.40 and 4.68 L/kg for the uptake experiment and the uptake portion of the elimination experiments, respectively. To determine the target organ for TNT in fish, juvenile fathead minnow were exposed to 2.2 micromol/L (0.5 mg/L) of [14C]TNT for 10 d. Radiolabeled compounds primarily bioaccumulated in the visceral tissues and spleen in comparison to gill, brain, muscle, and remainder tissue groups. The present study demonstrates the low bioaccumulation potential and rapid uptake of TNT in the fathead minnow.

T1  - Dissolution and transport of TNT, RDX, and composition B in saturated soil columns
AN  - 50143498; 2009-089489
AB  - Low-order detonations and blow-in-place procedures on military training ranges can result in residual solid explosive formulations to serve as distributed point sources for ground water contamination. This study was conducted to determine if distribution coefficients from batch studies and transport parameters of pure compounds in solution adequately describe explosive transport where compounds are present as solid particles in formulations. Saturated column transport experiments were conducted with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), and the explosive formulation, Composition B (Comp B) (59.5+ or -2.0% RDX, 39.5+ or -2.3% TNT, and 1% wax) in solid and dissolved forms. The two soils used were Plymouth loamy sand (mesic, coated Typic Quartzipsamments) from Camp Edwards, MA and Adler silt loam (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, thermic Fluvaquentic Eutrudepts) from Vicksburg, MS. Interrupted flow experiments were used to determine if explosives were at equilibrium distribution between soil and solution phases. The HYDRUS-1D code was used to determine fate and transport parameters. Results indicated that sorption of high explosives was rate limited. The behavior of dissolved Comp B was similar to the behavior of pure TNT and RDX. Behavior of solid Comp B was controlled by dissolution that depended on physical properties of the Comp B sample. Adsorption coefficients determined by HYDRUS-1D were different from those determined in batch tests for the same soils. Use of parameters specific to formulations will improve fate and transport predictions.

T1  - Evaluating the Success of Outplanting Adult Spring Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River, Oregon
AN  - 20958813; 8380414
AB  - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates and maintains a system of 13 dams and reservoirs within the Willamette River Basin located in northwest Oregon. These dams block access to a majority of the historic spawning habitat for spring chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the basin. Since the 1990's, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has been outplanting hatchery spring chinook salmon upstream of dams in the Willamette Basin to provide nutrient enhancement, a prey base for native resident fish, and later as a means of supplementing natural production of spring chinook salmon. To evaluate the success of this outplanting program, we established the distribution and pre-spawning mortality rate of radio tagged adult spring chinook released into the North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River in 2004-2006. In addition, USACE biologists collected mortalities for analysis to determine potential causes of death and conducted spawning surveys to calculate a fish/redd ratio as a metric to compare success between years. In 2006, ODFW implemented improved handling protocols and treated outplanted chinook with antibiotics. Date of release influenced distribution and the rate of pre-spawning mortality observed in radio tagged fish. Estimates of pre-spawning mortality ranged from 2 to 100 percent. Estimates of pre-spawning mortality were significantly lower in 2006 than compared to 2004-05. The contribution of improved handling protocols, antibiotic treatment, or environmental conditions to the lower pre-spawning mortality rate observed in 2006 is unclear. Analysis of recovered carcasses identified the presence of furunculosis and bacterial kidney disease. Fish/redd ratios for outplanted fish differed between years. Improving survival of adult chinook outplanted into historic habitat above Corps of Engineers Dams is an important step towards establishing and maintaining a viable population of naturally reproducing spring Chinook salmon in the Middle Fork Willamette Subbasin.

T1  - Development of nutrient submodules for use in the gridded surface subsurface hydrologic analysis (GSSHA) distributed watershed model
AN  - 20384735; 7274715
AB  - A primary water quality problem caused by non-point source pollution (NPSP) is eutrophication, from excess nutrients in receiving water bodies. The control of nutrients arising from NPSP is difficult because the source areas can be hard to identify and typical treatment methods are infeasible due to the distributed nature of the pollutants. It may be possible to reduce nutrient related water quality problems through the restoration of highly disturbed watersheds with best management practices (BMPs). While restoration attempts may provide significant returns, they can be costly to implement and often are met with resistance in agricultural communities. Extending model results beyond the range of calibration to model future conditions such as for restoration scenarios requires the use of physically-based models that include the important processes that generate streamflow and material transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients and other material. The research and development objectives of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, are to develop a watershed assessment and management model to simulate transport, uptake, loss, transformation, and recycling of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and associated material such as sediment and organic matter. In this study we will discuss current efforts at the ERDC's Environmental Laboratory to develop a state-of-the-art watershed water quality model.

T1  - RIO DEL ORO SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36351526; 12551
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction 0f a mixed-use development within the 3,828-acre Rio del Oro Specific Plan area in the city of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County, California is proposed. The project site is located in eastern Sacramento County, south of US 50. More specifically, the site is bounded on the north by White Rock Road, on the south by Douglas Road, and on the east by Sunrise Boulevard. Five design alternatives and a No Action Alternative (Alternative 5) are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed project (Alternative 1) would split buildout into five phases to take place over a 25- to 30-year period. The design would provide for the construction of 11,601 residential dwelling units in three residential land use classification on 1,920 acres. Commercial land use would include Village Commercial, Local Town Center, and Regional Town Center areas, together providing 153 acres of shopping centers. The plan would include an 86 acre business park and a 282-acre industrial park. Other land uses would include 63 acres of neighborhood recreational parks, 54 acres of private recreational facilities, 9.5 acres of public/quasi-public use areas, 44 acres of landscaped corridor, and 50 acres of greenbelt. Two elderberry preserve areas, totaling 24 acres, would be designated. In addition to 155 acres of drainage parkways, 39 acres of stormwater detention basins would be created in three separate locations. A 507-acre wetland preserve area would be situated in the southern portion of the project site. Designated school uses include allotments of 78 acres for a middle school/high school facility, with an adjacent 87-acre community park, a separate 20-acres middle school site, and 54 acres for six elementary schools. Approximately 227 acres would be allowed for roadways and the associated landscaping, along with a network of bicycle and pedestrian trails. Water supply, sewer, electrical, natural gas conveyance, and telecommunications infrastructure would be provided. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The development would provide housing and employment in a rabidly growing area of southern California. Orderly development of the site would prevent urban sprawl and blight NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The community would conflict with California Department of Education minimum size criteria for signing of schools. Construction would damage or destroy historically significant buildings and other structures. An undeveloped, rural area would be converted to a densely developed multiple-use tract, destroying vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, damaging streams and wetlands, and degrading visual aesthetics. The development would result in highly significant increases in traffic, locally and regionally. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - BAYOU BASIN WATER SUPPLY AND FLOOD CONTROL STUDY, BAYOU METO BASIN, ARKANSAS, JEFFERSON, LONOKE, PRAIRIE, AND PULASKI COUNTIES, ARKANSAS.
AN  - 36342660; 12552
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply and flood control project for the Bayou Meto Basin of Arkansas, Jefferson, Lonoke, Prairie, and Pulaski counties in east-central Arkansas is proposed. The 780,000-acre basin lies between the Arkansas and White rivers. Eleven hydrologic reaches were delineated for the flood damage reduction proposals. Land use within the project area includes 863,712 acres of land water. Major problems affecting the project area include the depletion of the alluvial aquifer and flooding. The aquifer, which is the principal source of irrigation water for most farms, may be permanently damaged if an alternative irrigation source is not located. The area's greatest need for flood relief lies in the lower portion of the project area and, to a lesser degree, in the upper part of the basin west of Lonoke. Alternatives considered in detail in this final EIS include Alternative water supply component Alternative WS4B, the waterfowl management plan outlined in the draft EIS, and alternatives FC2A and FC3A of the flood control component. Specifically, with respect to water supply, the plan would provide for a 1,750 cubic-foot-per-second (cfs) import system, a large reservoir, conservation measures, additional 8,832 acres of water storage capacity. The water distribution system would use 121 miles of existing streams and channels, 1207 miles of new canals, and 472 miles of new pipelines to transfer an average of 268,324 acre-feet of water annually from the Arkansas River to the project area. Fifty-six weirs would be provided in ditches and existing streams. Water conservation measures would include groundwater management strategies, retrofitting of existing farm irrigation systems, and new on-farm irrigation reservoirs. The flood control component of the preferred alternative would consist of channel excavation to enlarge selected ditches included in flood control efforts. Little Bayou Meto would undergo 10 miles of channel excavation, to widen the waterway to 30 feet, above the new 1,000-cfs pump station to convey water from the Cannon Brake Structure to the pump station. The plan would also require the excavation of a five-mile-long, 30-foot-wide bypass channel to convey water around the southwest corner of the water management area into Little Bayou Meto. First cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $576.3 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.13. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide facilities designed to protect groundwater resources and reduce flooding in the area while providing a supplemental agricultural water supply for irrigation purposes, fish farming, wild fish and terrestrial wildlife habitat, and waterfowl management and conservation. Replacement of groundwater irrigation sources with water from the Arkansas could help restore the regional aquifer. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in reservoir storage capacity would result in inundation of terrestrial and wetland wildlife habitat. Removal of water from the Arkansas River would reduce water quality and yield in the river seasonally, affecting fish resources and wetlands depending on river flows. Farming would continue to displace potential habitat and result in the continued release of agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides and phosphate-based fertilizers into the terrestrial and ecosystems.

T1  - FOLSOM DAM SAFETY AND FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION, SACRAMENTO, EL DORADO, AND PLACER COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36348419; 12546
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to address hydrologic, seismic, static, and flood control issues at Folsom Dam and its appurtenant structures on the American River in Sacramento, El Dorado, and Placer counties, California is proposed. The Folsom Facility is comprised of the main dam on the mainstem of the American River to retain and release water contained with in the Folsom Reservoir, two wing dams flanking the main dam to contain water within the reservoir, the Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam (MIAD) to retain water at the location of a historic river channel, and eight earthen dikes to contain water when the reservoir is at or near capacity. The proposed project, known as the Folsom Joint Federal Project, was designed to coordinate efforts by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation at the Folsom Facility. The limitations of the existing flood control system in the Sacramento area and the urgent need to increase the level of flood protection have received public attention in the aftermath of the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes. It has been determined that the reservoir and the downstream levees do not have sufficient capacity to safely manage flows from floods with recurrence intervals of greater than 100 years. Five action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The environmentally preferred alternative (Alternative 3) would provide for the construction of a gated spillway to address hydrologic dam safety and flood control concerns. Certain flood control enhancements could be added incrementally to the spillway as necessary. Potential flood control enhancements would include raising the embankment by as much as 3.5 feet and/or modification or replacement of existing service gates and emergency spillway gates. The flanking wing dams, the MAID, and the parapet walls of all eight dikes would be raised 3.5 feet as well, and the MAID and all dikes would be provided with toe drains to address seepage concerns. Three dikes and the MAID would be provided with full height filters to address seepage. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would help reduce the risk of flooding along the main stem of the American River, while meeting dam safety and public safety objectives. Proposed improvements would raise the level of protection to safeguard downstream property and the public against a 200-year flood event. More specifically, the project would reduce hydrologic risk of overtopping-related failure of any impoundment structure, reduce the risk of structural failure of any impoundment structure during an earthquake or during a potential static (seepage) event, and improve the flood management capacity of facilities in a manner consistent with current federal mandates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project measures would increase turbidity and sedimentation in downstream reaches of the river, and local groundwater levels would be affected. Floodplain alterations and structural additions resulting from the project would displace wetlands, including vernal shrimp habitat, and potentially affect special status plant and animal habitat, including the habitat of the federally protected Elderberry Long-horn Beetle. Borrow site development would displace soil resources. Naturally occurring asbestos sites would be encountered by construction workers. Parapet walls and embankments would eliminate views of the lake for some residents and visitors. Construction activities would increase ambient noise levels significantly, violating federal standards at three sensitive receptor sites. Construction activities would also displace cultural resources and result in a significant loss of recreational visitor days and the associated recreational revenues. Relocation of some business and residential properties would occur.

T1  - LOCK AND DAM 3 MISSISSIPPI RIVER NAVIGATION SAFETY AND EMBANKMENTS, PIERCE COUNTY, WISCONSIN AND GOODHUE COUNTY, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 36345277; 12542
AB  - PURPOSE: The modification of Lock and Dam 3, in Pierce County, Wisconsin and Goodhue County, Minnesota is proposed. The navigation dam is situated on the Upper Mississippi River six miles upriver of Red Wing, Minnesota. The lock and dam is a key component of the Upper Mississippi River Nine-Foot Channel Navigation Project; it has been in operation since 1937. Two long-standing structural problems at the facility affect navigation safety and the Wisconsin embankments. The dam was constructed on a bend in the river, with the lock on the outside of the bend. As a result, an outdraft current sweeps across the upper lock approach toward the gated part of the dam, making navigation of the lock difficult and causing numerous accidents. Since 1963, 11 accidents have occurred in which tows collided with the gated part of the dam. Secondly, the Wisconsin embankments on the Wisconsin side of the facility, placed to maintain water levels in two floodplain lakes, were not constructed to modern standards of engineering design. Currently, the embankments are in a deteriorated conditions and are vulnerable to failure, resulting in significant economic losses and environmental damage. An embankment failure could damage 2,500 acres of high-quality wetland in the Gatenbein Lakes area. Moreover, two large power plants would be forced to shut down. The proposed action would provide an extended landward guide wall and channel modifications to reduce the outdraft and otherwise improve navigation safety. Strengthening of the Wisconsin embankments would initially involve rebuilding spot dikes, raising the embankments near the gated part of the dam, and constructing two low overflow spillways. Subsequently, a low embankment between the overflow spillways and high ground downstream of he lock and dam. This second phase would be implemented if the remaining unprotected areas were breached. In addition, the project would mitigate environmental damages caused by construction by including the purchase of 313 acres of floodplain wetland presently in agricultural use and planting native floodplain forest trees. Project implementation would occur over a three-year period. Total cost of the project, including mitigation measures, is estimated at $63.9 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.1. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses alternative navigation safety measures, embankment alternatives, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to improving navigational safety and economic efficiency or operations at the lock and dam and protecting a valuable wetland resource at the site, the project would provide for ecological enhancement through the purchase of wetlands and floodplain forest to be protected in perpetuity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project footprint would displace an area of floodplain forest wetlands, but this would be replaced by a larger area of forested wetlands purchased and preserved as part of the abovementioned mitigation plan.

T1  - S 167, PUYALLUP TO SR 509, CITIES OF PUYALLUP, FIFE, EDGEWOOD, MILTON, AND TACOMA, PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON.
AN  - 36343057; 12544
AB  - PURPOSE: The extension of the State Route (SR) 167 freeway from SR 161 (Meridian Street North) in the city of Puyallup to the SR 509 freeway in the city of Tacoma, in Pierce County, Washington, is proposed in this Tier II proposal, which follows upon the Tier I draft and final EISs on the SR 167 corridor adoption. The project would traverse the cities of Edgewood, Fife, Milton, Puyallup, and Tacoma. In the 1950s, a regional highway plan was developed, which included SR 167 from Renton to Interstate 5 (I-5). Work on the project in the Puyallup Valley was halted in the late 1970s due to uncertainty regarding ownership of the Puyallup Tribal lands in the area. In the late 1980s, SR 167 was completed from I-405 in Renton to SR 512 in Puyallup. The ownership issue was resolved in 1989, allowing the SR 167 extension to move forward. The new freeway would replace the existing SR 167 arterial route between Puyallup and the I-5 Bay Street interchange via Meridian Street North and River Road. The freeway would provide four through lanes as well as inside high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes; the HOV lanes would be constructed at a future date. The project design would provide for bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Alteration of Hylebos and Wapato creeks and Surprise Lake Drain the associated floodplains would be mitigated via the implementation of a riparian that would involve creation of the new channel meanders and other channel work for all three channel corridors, 87 acres of riparian habitat improvements in the Hylebos Creek corridor, and 73 areas of riparian buffer creation in the Wapato Creek corridor. In addition to the build alternative, this final EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. Multiple design options are considered at the SR 509, 54th Avenue East, I-5, Valley Avenue, and SR 161 interchanges. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility within the transportation system; serve multimodal local and port freight movement and passenger movement between the Puyallup termini of SR 167, SR 410, SR 512, and I-5; reduce congestion and improve safety within the corridor; improve system continuity between SR 167 and I-5; and maintain or improve air quality within the corridor to ensure compliance with current state and federal regulations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: From 303 acres of principally low-intensity land uses would be converted to transportation rights-of-way, and 214 acres would be displaced by riparian restoration components of the project. The project would require displacement of 78 residences, 20 businesses, and portions of six farming operations. From 259 to 292 acres of prime farmland would be taken. The project could affect surface waters during the construction phase by delivering sediment into receiving flows in the area, which includes seven significant streams, four of which are listed as threatened or impaired under federal law. Approximately 32.9 acres of wetlands would be affected. A maximum of 327 acres of wildlife habitat, including 86 acres of grass, shrub and forest habitat, would be affected, and habitat connectivity would be impaired in some areas. Archaeological and historic sites would be disturbed. Construction workers could encounter hazardous materials, including asbestos. The freeway would significantly alter the landscape of the corridor. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601)..

T1  - Field-scale demonstration of induced biogeochemical reductive dechlorination at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware
AN  - 1316372229; 2013-023821
AB  - Biogeochemical reductive dechlorination (BiRD) is a new remediation approach for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The approach stimulates common sulfate-reducing soil bacteria, facilitating the geochemical conversion of native iron minerals into iron sulfides. Iron sulfides have the ability to chemically reduce many common CAH compounds including PCE, TCE, DCE, similar to zero valent iron (Fe (super 0) ). Results of a field test at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware, are given in this paper. BiRD was stimulated by direct injection of Epson salt (MgSO (sub 4) .7H (sub 2) O) and sodium (L) lactate (NaC (sub 3) H (sub 5) O (sub 3) ) in five injection wells. Sediment was sampled before and 8 months after injection. Significant iron sulfide minerals developed in the sandy aquifer matrix. From ground water analyses, treatment began a few weeks after injection with up to 95% reduction in PCE, TCE, and cDCE in less than 1 year. More complete CAH treatment is likely at a larger scale than this demonstration. Abstract Copyright (2006) Elsevier, B.V.

T1  - BROADWATER LNG PROJECT, LONG ISLAND SOUND, NEW YORK.
AN  - 36341937; 12532
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and pipeline, to be known as the Broadwater LNG Project, in New York state waters of Long Island Sound are proposed. The terminal would lie nine miles from the nearest shoreline of Long Island 11 miles from the nearest shoreline of Connecticut. The facility would consist of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) attached to a yoke mooring system (YMS) with a mooring tower embedded in the seafloor. The FSRU would resemble a marine vessel and would remain moored in place for the 30-year life of the terminal. The YMS would allow the FSRU to pivot or "weathervane" around the YMS, enabling the FSRU to orient in response to the prevailing wind, tide, and current conditions. LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by LNG carriers, temporarily stored, vaporized (regasified), and then transported via a new subsea natural gas pipeline extending from the seafloor beneath the FSRU 21.7 miles to an offshore connection with the existing Iroquois Gas Transmission System (IGTS) pipeline in Long Island Sound. Natural gas would be routed from the FSRU to the subsea pipeline and into the IGTS for delivery at an average flow rate of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day> LNG would be delivered to the FSRU by two to three LNG carriers per week to the meet the project's planned send-out volumes of natural gas. LNG carriers would transit from the Atlantic Ocean to either Point Judith Pilot Station, northeast of Block Island, or the Montauk Point Station, southwest of Block Island. The terminal and ancillary facilities would include a double-hulled FSRU approximately 1,215 feet long and 200 feet wide with a storage capacity of 8.0 billion cubic feet; a berthing facility at the FSRU for receiving LNG ships with capacities of up to 250,000 cubic meters; the YMS; 21.7 miles pf 30-inch-diameter pipeline, with a pig launcher and receiver facility and a meter station at the interconnect with the IGTS pipeline; and onshore facilities at either Greenport or Port Jefferson. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, postponing the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, LNG design and location alternatives, pipeline route and construction alternatives, alternative vaporization methods, and alternative onshore facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By providing a new source of natural gas, the terminal facility would help ensure the integrity and reliability of the Northeast's home heating and energy distribution networks, while stabilizing regional energy prices. The future need for new and/or expanded interstate natural gas pipeline construction would be lessened significantly, obviating the associated environmental impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would result in the disturbance of the seafloor and the associated benthic habitat and the release of sediment into the water column along the pipeline route. Construction activities would disturb 2,236.2 acres. Approximately 7.5 acres of seafloor would be permanently transformed from soft bottom to hard bottom. The terminal would take 5.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of water from Long Island Sound. Water returned to the Sound would degrade water quality and increase ambient water temperature somewhat. The terminal would receive calls from 118 LNG carriers per year, resulting in a significant increase in vessel traffic and the removal 22.7 mgd from the ambient water column. Project operations could affect four sea turtle and three whale species under special federal protection due to potential vessel collisions and noise emitted by vessels and the terminal, particularly during construction. Increased vessel traffic would cause safety concerns with respect to other commercial and recreational vessels in the Sound. Accidental spills of cryogenic liquid from the terminal or vessels delivering LNG to the terminal would constitute a significant threat to marine species.

T1  - SUCCESS DAM SEISMIC REMEDIATION DAM SAFETY PROJECT, TULARE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 36342795; 12531
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to the Success Dam on the Tulare River in Tulare County, California is proposed to remediate deficiencies in the foundation of the existing structure that could lead to failure in the event of a major earthquake. Lake Success is operated to provide flood control, recreation, hydropower and irrigation and water supply for other needs for one of the most productive agricultural areas in the nation. Studies conducted since 192 have determined that the existing dam is at high risk of failure. Failure of the dam and release of the reservoir pool in a major earthquake could result in loss of life, property damages due to flooding, and substantial related economic losses. In June 2006, due to the high risk of dam failure, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers instituted an operation restriction on the conservation pool to 29,000 acre-feet, which is only 35 percent of the full pool capacity, until a permanent solution could be implemented. Two build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Build Alternative 1 would provide a direct fix to the existing dam foundation. Alternative 2 would construct an earthen embankment dam 300 feet downstream of the existing dam utilizing he existing structure as a coffer dam so that normal reservoir operations could continue unrestricted during construction and so that the current level of flood protection would not be compromised. Under Alternative 2, the existing dam would also be used as a source of borrow material. With a reservoir capacity of 81,500 acre-feet, the new earthen dam would provide the same storage capacity as the existing dam. The project would also include the provision of a new or rehabilitated intake tower, extension of the existing outlet, and widening of the existing spillway in order to pass the probable maximum flood (PMF) with adequate freeboard; an evaluation of the hydrologic adequacy of the existing Success Dam determined that the existing spillway lacked the capacity to pass the PMF. Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative. The project plan would include the acquisition of orchard land the use of Bartlett Park to mitigate impacts to terrestrial habitat and special status species. In addition, a plan to mitigate the impact of a long-term drawdown on the lake fishery would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed dam remediation project would remediate the dam and restore the reservoir to its full storage capacity and operational reliability. Project implementation would create 893 jobs and result in $184 million in local and regional expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Temporary disturbance of 469 acres during excavation and fill activities would exacerbate soil erosion and downstream sedimentation, and excavation could create unstable slopes at the spillway and/or borrow material sites. Approximately 38 acres of farmland would be displaced, and 20 acres of Bartlett Park would be removed from recreational uses. Construction-related habitat losses would include 309 acres of annual grassland, 10 acres of riparian forest, eight acres of scrub-shrub habitat, and one acre of emergent marsh vegetation. Increased nutrient availability and water temperatures would degrade water quality in the lake and downstream. Construction noise levels would exceed noise standards at four residences and a mobile home park. Particular matter and nitrous oxide levels during construction would exceed ambient air quality standards. Water supply availability would be reduced during project implementation. Recreational facilities associated with the lake would be inaccessible during construction. Local recreation-related revenues would decline by $5.7 million LEGAL MANDATES: Flood Control Act of 1941 (P.L. 78-534)

T1  - INTERSTATE 29/35 PASEO BRIDGE CORRIDOR, CLAY AND JACKSON COUNTIES, MISSOURI.
AN  - 36348299; 12526
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and widening of Interstate 29/35 (I-29/35), including a new bridge over the Missouri River and roadways in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area of Clay and Jackson Counties, Missouri are proposed. The study corridor extends 4.7 miles from just north of Missouri Route 210 (M-210) at Armour Road in Clay County and continues south on I-29/35 (US 71) to the northwest corner of the central business district (CBD) freeway loop in downtown Kansas City. The existing four-lane facility within the corridor carries over 90,000 vehicled per day, resulting in extreme congestion during peak travel periods. The freeway has been identified in various planning documents as an important local and regional transportation link. The proposed project includes the north side of the CBD loop, designated as both I-35/70 and US 24/40. The Missouri River crossing (Paseo Bridge) would be rehabilitated and complemented with a new companion bridge or replaced with an entirely new structure. Six combination alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The action alternatives would be used by the contract builder in a "Design-Build" process by which design and construction of the facility would take place simultaneously. In a typical Design-Build scheme, construction begins once 30 percent of the design is complete. However, preferred alternatives have been identified for each of three subcorridors. The preferred alternative for the North Subcorridor (M-210 to 14th Avenue) would involve widening the mainline to six through lanes, with sufficient rights-of-way to enable future widening to eight lanes and improving the interchange at the M-210/Armour Road interchange and the half interchange at 16th Avenue. For the River Crossing Subcorridor (14th Avenue to Dora Street), the preferred alternative would involve either rehabilitation of the Paseo Bridge for southbound traffic and construction of a companion bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge to carry northbound traffic or construction of new twin bridges each carrying traffic in one direction or one new single span accommodating two-way traffic. Either River Crossing Subcorridor alternative would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline and construction of braided ramps at Bedford Avenue and Levee Road and an improved interchange at Front Street. The preferred alternative for the CBD North Loop Subcorridor (Dora Street to Broadway Boulevard) would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline from Dora Street to the northeast corner of the CBD Loop, while maintaining the six-lane mainline section from the northeast corner of the CBD Loop to just west of Broadway Boulevard, though the latter section would be improved via ramp and lane modifications. The total cost of the preferred alternative, including all modifications from M-210 to Broadway, is estimated to range from $213 million to $231 million in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of the Missouri River crossing and ancillary roads and structures would replace the existing deteriorating bridge and main road infrastructure and improve the associated interchanges, enhancing traffic safety, improving interstate system linkage across the Missouri River, and providing sufficient vehicle capacity, including capacity for trucks, within the study corridor. The reconstructed facility would improve traffic operation to accommodate travel demands across the Missouri River and improve access to the Kansas CBD and other major activity centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in full displacement of two businesses and partial displacement of four single-family units, one multi-family unit, 10 businesses, and two public/semi-public facilities. The project could have some impacts on neighborhood cohesion, but these impacts would be slight. The facility would traverse 1,900 to 2,150 feet of floodplain, displacing 1.59 to 1.88 acres of storage capacity. The project would impact the Riverfront Heritage Trail, and demolition or alteration of the Paseo Bridge would alter or eliminate a structure eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Two archaeological sites or interest would also be affected. New construction across the Missouri River would mar visual aesthetics in the area somewhat. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 106 sensitive noise receptors within the corridor. Construction workers would encounter one or two hazardous waste sites.

T1  - PRAIRIE PARKWAY STUDY, GRENDY, KENDALL, AND KANE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.
AN  - 36346882; 12524
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 12 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,544 to 2,645 acres, would result in the displacement of 22 residences, 2.64 to 2.71 acres of wetlands, 54 to 58.4 acres of forest, 55.2 to 65.1 acres of floodplain, and 2,510 to 2,560 acres of farmland, including 1,665 to 1,937 acres of prime farmland 509 to 849 acres of farmland of statewide and local importance. From 170 to 189 farms and 185 to 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 83 or 84 streams and 18 to 20 floodplains. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 177 to 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 77 to 81 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter six or seven hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 4,800 to 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T1  - US 301 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE.
AN  - 36347551; 13056
AB  - PURPOSE: The improvement of 17.5 miles of US 301 in New Castle County, Delaware is proposed. The project would extend from the Maryland state line at the west end of the project corridor to US 13/State Route (SR) 1 at the east end of the project corridor. The northern and southern limits of the study corridor, respectively, are south of Middletown and the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D) Canal. US 301 extends 1,100 miles from Sarasota, Florida to New Castle County, Delaware. With the increase in traffic congestion on Interstate 95 (I-95) in the northern Virginia, District of Columbia, and the Baltimore metropolitan regions, and with the cost of tolls on I-95 at the Baltimore Harbor Crossings and the John F. Kennedy Highway northeast of Baltimore, US 301 has emerged as a through traffic alternative to I-95 between Richmond, Virginia and Wilmington, Delaware, particularly for truckers. In addition, the rapid increase in residential development in southern New Castle County has made SU 301 into a commuter route vis-`-vis regional employment centers. Significant congestion and increases in the level of accidents within the corridor have resulted from these influences, calling for increased capacity and geometric improvements along the US 301 in the county. Four color-coded route alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The Yellow Alternative would extend north parallel to existing US 301 from the state line to Mount Pleasant, then continue east-west to SR 1 parallel to SR 896 (Boyds Corner Road). Four interchanges would provide access to the highway. The Purple Alternative would extend north from the state line on a new location west of Middletown and existing US 301 (commonly referred to as the ridge route or ridge alignment) to the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road. From that point, the Purple Alternative would extend on new location northeast to SR 896 and then east to SR 1 along the SR 896 alignment. In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a two-lane spur road would extend north along the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Interchanges would be provided at five locations. The Brown Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to north of Mount Pleasant. The North Option would continue north and turn east, north of Summit Bridge Farms, while the South Option would turn east south of Summit Bridge Farms. Both options would join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal Crossing and north of SR 1 Biddles Corner Toll Plaza. Five interchanges would provide access to the highway. The Green Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, where it would continue northeast across existing US 301. The North Option would continue north over SR 896 and turn east, crossing to SR 1 south of the Airmont community to join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal. The South Option would continue northeast to cross SR 896 and join SR 1 south of Scott Run. In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a new two-lane Spur Road would extend on the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Five interchanges would be provided. The Green Alternative, with the North Option, has been selected as the preferred alternative. Capital costs of the Green Alternative range from $534 million to $590 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve highway safety, manage truck traffic at an appropriate level, and ameliorate existing and projected traffic congestion along the US 301 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 941 acres, resulting in the displacement of some or all of 132 properties as well as eight residences and four businesses. The project would also result in the loss of 26.3 acres of wetlands at a total of 43 sites, 437 acres of prime farmland, 146 acres of hydric soils, one acre of 100-year floodplain land, and 36.8 acres of forested land. From one to 1.5 acres of floodplain would be displaced, and 14,278 to 20,708 linear feet of stream would be relocated. Under all action alternatives, excepting the Yellow Alternative, one agricultural easement, affecting six to 12.4 acres of farmland, would have to be arranged. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 77 sensitive receptor sites (residences), though the number of affected receptor sites would decline to 32 after the placement of the proposed noise control berms. Noise and visual alterations would affect 21 structures eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. 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).

In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a two-lane spur road would extend north along the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Interchanges would be provided at five locations. The Brown Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to north of Mount Pleasant. The North Option would continue north and turn east, north of Summit Bridge Farms, while the South Option would turn east south of Summit Bridge Farms. Both options would join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal Crossing and north of SR 1 Biddles Corner Toll Plaza. Five interchanges would provide access to the highway. The Green Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, where it would continue northeast across existing US 301. The North Option would continue north over SR 896 and turn east, crossing to SR 1 south of the Airmont community to join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal. The South Option would continue northeast to cross SR 896 and join SR 1 south of Scott Run. In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a new two-lane Spur Road would extend on the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Five interchanges would be provided. Capital costs of the Yellow, Purple, Brown, and Green alternatives range from $686 million to $758 million, $616 million to $680 million, $499million to $608 million, $526 million to $590 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve highway safety, manage truck traffic at an appropriate level, and ameliorate existing and projected traffic congestion along the US 301 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 870 to 902 acres, resulting in the displacement of some or all of 100 to 377 properties as well as two to 128 residences and four to 58 businesses. The project would also result in the loss of 18.5 to 50.5 acres of wetlands, 203 to 437 acres of prime farmland, 115 to 158 acres of hydric soils, and 34.1 to 51 acres of forested land. From one to 1.5 acres of floodplain would be displaced, and 14,278 to 20,708 linear feet of stream would be relocated. . Under all action alternatives, excepting the Yellow Alternative, one agricultural easement, affecting six to 12.4 acres of farmland, would have to be arranged. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 63 to 108 sensitive receptor sites, though the number of affected receptor sites would decline to 14 to 77 after the placement of the proposed noise control berms. The Yellow Alterative would affect four sites of historic significance. 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.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PORT FREEPORT CHANNEL WIDENING, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS.
AN  - 36342772; 12323
AB  - PURPOSE: The widening of the Port Freeport Chanel in the Brazos Harbor Navigation District of Brazoria County, Texas is proposed. The project would include the widening of portions of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel and the entire length of the Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel. Existing channel dimension constraints at the harbor result in restriction of movements to one-way traffic, daylight-only operations for large vessels, and prevention of large vessel movements when wind speeds exceed 20 nautical miles per hour or cross currents exceed 0.5 nautical mile per hour. Maximum ship dimensions permitted by the pilots at Freeport Harbor are 825-feet overall length, 145-feet maximum beam, and 42-foot draft. Projections indicted that traffic in the harbor will increase annually by 1.9 percent and dry bulk calls by two percent. Economic pressure and technological advances have generally influenced a trend toward larger ships. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 and Alternative 3 both provide for the proposed channel widening, but differ in that the former would result in placement of dredge soil at Quintana and the latter would result in placement of spoil at Surfside. The proposed action (Alternative 2 or 3) would result in the widening of the Freeport Harbor Jetty Channel from channel station 63+35, using a combination of mechanical, pipeline, and hopper dredging. The Jetty Channel would be gradually widening, at the authorized depth, up to an additional 150 feet to 1,835 feet to channel station 45+00. From that station for about 500 feet the channel would e widened an additional 200 feet. The remainder of the Jetty Channel and the entire Freeport Harbor Entrance Channel (the channel station -260+00) would then be widened an additional 200 feet. Total channel length proposed for widening would extend 6.1 miles. The proposed action would require dredging of 3.2 million cubic feet of dredging, consisting of 2.9 MCY of clay/silt material and 300,000 MCY of silty-sandy material. Clay-silt material would be placed in an ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) redesignated for use by the Environmental Protection Agency under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Under Alternative 2, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Quintana Beach in front of the Seaway Upland Confined Placement Area. Under Alternative 3, the silty-sandy material would be placed on Surfside Beach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The channel widening proposal is consistent with other regional navigation channel improvements in response to world fleet trends and contributes to national economic development goals. Placement of the silty-sandy dredged spoil on Quintana Beach or Surfside Beach would enhance and protect the selected beach and shoreline. The enlarged beach at either site would provide additional habitat for shorebirds, and the Surfside Beach enlargement would protect housing along the shoreline behind the beach. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would release sediments, including contaminated sediments into the water column, causing temporary turbidity and temporarily lowering water quality due to the release of toxins. Beach and ODMDS disposal of dredged spoil would destroy benthos, temporarily at the ODMDS and permanently at the selected beach site.

T1  - Biodegradation of the cyclic nitramine explosives RDX, HMX, and CL-20.
AN  - 68163295; 17058075
AB  - Cyclic nitramine explosives are synthesized globally mainly as military munitions, and their use has resulted in environmental contamination. Several biodegradation pathways have been proposed, and these are based mainly on end-product characterization because many of the metabolic intermediates are hypothetical and unstable in water. Biodegradation mechanisms for cyclic nitramines include (a) formation of a nitramine free radical and loss of nitro functional groups, (b) reduction of nitro functional groups, (c) direct enzymatic cleavage, (d) alpha-hydroxylation, or (e) hydride ion transfer. Pathway intermediates spontaneously decompose in water producing nitrite, nitrous oxide, formaldehyde, or formic acid as common end-products. In vitro enzyme and functional gene expression studies have implicated a limited number of enzymes/genes involved in cyclic nitramine catabolism. Advances in molecular biology methods such as high-throughput DNA sequencing, microarray analysis, and nucleic acid sample preparation are providing access to biochemical and genetic information on cultivable and uncultivable microorganisms. This information can provide the knowledge base for rational engineering of bioremediation strategies, biosensor development, environmental monitoring, and green biosynthesis of explosives. This paper reviews recent developments on the biodegradation of cyclic nitramines and the potential of genomics to identify novel functional genes of explosive metabolism.

T1  - Seismic response of earth dam with varying depth of liquefiable foundation layer
AN  - 50136222; 2009-095440
AB  - Earthquake induced liquefaction continues to be a major threat to many engineered structures around the world. Analysis of liquefaction becomes particularly difficult for two-dimensional (and 3D) problems such as dam/foundation systems. Predominantly, analyses for such systems are performed utilizing some type of finite element or finite difference procedure. Verification or validation of the analyses relies on very limited field performance data with reduced knowledge of the full scope of system conditions or loading conditions. Research reported in this paper represents a portion of ongoing work to obtain a database of information useful for numerical model calibration and to gain a better understanding of the complex dynamics of liquefying foundations under earth dams. Specifically, a highly instrumented model of an earth dam with clay core founded on a liquefiable foundation subjected to earthquake loading is being studied. Properties of the liquefiable foundation are varied to determine the related effects on the overlying earth dam. In this paper, results from three centrifuge physical models will be presented. The models are identical, with the exception of the location (depth) of a liquefiable layer in the foundation, and are subjected to the same dynamic excitation. Results and discussion related to the significance of the liquefiable layer location within the foundation and damage to the earth dam are presented.

T1  - Gene Expression Profiles in Fathead Minnow Exposed to 2,4-DNT: Correlation with Toxicity in Mammals
AN  - 19289760; 7127075
AB  - Toxicogenomics, the genome-wide analysis of gene expression to study the effect of toxicants, has great potential for use in environmental toxicology. Applied to standard test organisms, it has possible applications in aquatic toxicology as a sensitive monitoring tool to detect the presence of contaminants while providing information on the mechanisms of action of these pollutants. We describe the use of a complementary DNA (cDNA) microarray of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) a standard sentinel organism in aquatic toxicology, to better understand the mechanisms of toxicity of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) which is released in the environment through military and industrial use. We have constructed a fathead minnow microarray containing 5000 randomly picked anonymous cDNAs from a whole fish cDNA library. Expression profiles were analyzed in fish exposed to 2,4-DNT for 10 days at three concentrations (11, 22, and 44 mu M, respectively) below the measured median lethal concentration (58 mu M). Sequence analysis of cDNAs corresponding to differentially expressed genes affected by exposure revealed that lipid metabolism and oxygen transport genes were prominently affected in a dose-specific manner. We measured liver lipids and demonstrate that lipid metabolism is indeed perturbed following exposure. These observations correlate well with available toxicological data on 2,4-DNT. We present possible modes of action of 2,4-DNT toxicity and suggest that fathead minnow cDNA microarrays can be useful to identify mechanisms of toxicity in fish and as a predictive tool for toxicity in mammals.

T1  - WILLITS BYPASS, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. [Part 3 of 8]
T2  - WILLITS BYPASS, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
AN  - 756824821; 12319-060453_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new segment of U.S. 101 to provide a bypass of the city of Willits in Mendocino County, California is proposed. The facility is an important route for interstate and interregional travel and is considered the economic lifeline of California's North Coast. It is the principal arterial route for the movement of people and goods between the San Francisco Bay area and the greater Eureka-Arcata area. Travel times and transportation costs along U.S. 101 are high. Travel times and costs are exacerbated by congestion-related delays and delays caused by facility type at Willits, where U.S. 101 passes through developed areas on surface streets. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the four action alternatives would involve construction of a new freeway segment east of Willits; the fourth alternative would provide a western bypass. The alternatives vary in length from 5.6 miles to 9.2 miles. The preferred alternative (Modified Alternative J1T) would begin at a point 0.8 mile south of Haehl Overhead and extend 5.8 miles to a point 1.9 miles south of Estimated capital costs for the preferred alternative is $247.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the safety and efficiency of traffic movements on U.S. 101 in and around Willits . NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the loss of 15.1 to 129.1 acres of wetlands and up to 713 acres of prime farmland and the displacement of up to 114 residences and three businesses. Two special status plant species, Baker's medowfoam and glandular western flax, would be affected., as would habitat for yellow warbler, yellow-breasted chat, little willow flycatcher, raptors, northwestern pond turtle, foothill yellow-legged frog, spotted owl, tree vole Coho salmon, fall-run Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout. Under one alternative, the facility would follow an alignment susceptible to landslides. Under another alternative, hazardous waste site cleanup would be necessary. Relocation of a stream segment could be required. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new segment of U.S. 101 to provide a bypass of the city of Willits in Mendocino County, California is proposed. The facility is an important route for interstate and interregional travel and is considered the economic lifeline of California's North Coast. It is the principal arterial route for the movement of people and goods between the San Francisco Bay area and the greater Eureka-Arcata area. Travel times and transportation costs along U.S. 101 are high. Travel times and costs are exacerbated by congestion-related delays and delays caused by facility type at Willits, where U.S. 101 passes through developed areas on surface streets. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the four action alternatives would involve construction of a new freeway segment east of Willits; the fourth alternative would provide a western bypass. The alternatives vary in length from 5.6 miles to 9.2 miles. The preferred alternative (Modified Alternative J1T) would begin at a point 0.8 mile south of Haehl Overhead and extend 5.8 miles to a point 1.9 miles south of Estimated capital costs for the preferred alternative is $247.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the safety and efficiency of traffic movements on U.S. 101 in and around Willits . NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the loss of 15.1 to 129.1 acres of wetlands and up to 713 acres of prime farmland and the displacement of up to 114 residences and three businesses. Two special status plant species, Baker's medowfoam and glandular western flax, would be affected., as would habitat for yellow warbler, yellow-breasted chat, little willow flycatcher, raptors, northwestern pond turtle, foothill yellow-legged frog, spotted owl, tree vole Coho salmon, fall-run Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout. Under one alternative, the facility would follow an alignment susceptible to landslides. Under another alternative, hazardous waste site cleanup would be necessary. Relocation of a stream segment could be required. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

AN  - 756824730; 12319-060453_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a new segment of U.S. 101 to provide a bypass of the city of Willits in Mendocino County, California is proposed. The facility is an important route for interstate and interregional travel and is considered the economic lifeline of California's North Coast. It is the principal arterial route for the movement of people and goods between the San Francisco Bay area and the greater Eureka-Arcata area. Travel times and transportation costs along U.S. 101 are high. Travel times and costs are exacerbated by congestion-related delays and delays caused by facility type at Willits, where U.S. 101 passes through developed areas on surface streets. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the four action alternatives would involve construction of a new freeway segment east of Willits; the fourth alternative would provide a western bypass. The alternatives vary in length from 5.6 miles to 9.2 miles. The preferred alternative (Modified Alternative J1T) would begin at a point 0.8 mile south of Haehl Overhead and extend 5.8 miles to a point 1.9 miles south of Estimated capital costs for the preferred alternative is $247.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the safety and efficiency of traffic movements on U.S. 101 in and around Willits . NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the loss of 15.1 to 129.1 acres of wetlands and up to 713 acres of prime farmland and the displacement of up to 114 residences and three businesses. Two special status plant species, Baker's medowfoam and glandular western flax, would be affected., as would habitat for yellow warbler, yellow-breasted chat, little willow flycatcher, raptors, northwestern pond turtle, foothill yellow-legged frog, spotted owl, tree vole Coho salmon, fall-run Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout. Under one alternative, the facility would follow an alignment susceptible to landslides. Under another alternative, hazardous waste site cleanup would be necessary. Relocation of a stream segment could be required. LEGAL MANDATES: 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).

T2  - NEPTUNE, L.L.C. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, MASSACHUSETTS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS.
AN  - 756824972; 12317-060451_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater port in Massachusetts Bay, seven miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, are proposed by Neptune, L.L.C. to provide for a terminal facility for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At present, LNG meets 20 to 30 percent of natural gas demand in New England. Forecasts indicate that gas consumption in New England will continue to increase at an average annual growth rate of 1.4 percent for the next 22 years. As domestic supplies are static, the major increase in natural gas supply will have to come from LNG. The proposed port would capable of mooring up to two 37-million-gallon capacity LNG carriers by means of a submerged unloading buoy system. The port would have an average throughput capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) and a peak capacity of 750 MMscfd. The major fixed components of the port would be an unloading buoy system, eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope and chain connecting to anchor points on the seabed, eight function pile anchor points, approximately 2.5 miles of natural gas flow line with flexible pipe risers and riser manifolds, and approximately 11 miles of 24-inch natural gas transmission line with a hot tap and transition manifold to connect to the existing Algonquin HubLine. The LNG carriers, also known as shuttle and regasification vessels, would be equipped to store, transport, and vaporize LNG and to odorize and meter natural gas to be sent out by a conventional subsea pipeline connecting the deepwater port to the existing 30-inch HubLine. No onshore components or storage facilities would be associated with the port. Each LNG carrier would be equipped with an in-tank pump to circulate and transfer LNG to the vaporization facilities located on the deck of the carrier. The proposed vaporization system would consist of closed-loop, shell-and-tube, recirculating heat exchangers heated by steam from boil off gas/vaporized LNG-fired boilers. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and port design, regasification technology, and port site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port and terminal facilities would provide for the increasing demand for natural gas in New England and could replace more expensive, less environmentally friendly oil-fired generators and heating units in some cases. The facilities would promote the development of oil and natural gas production on the outer continental shelf by affording an economic and safe means of transporting oil and natural gas to the mainland. Construction and operations employment would provide a substantial number of jobs for local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the LNG facility would entail risks associated with vapor clouds and fire due to a major accidental release of gas. The LNG port would constitute a navigational impediment and vessel traffic in the area would increase somewhat. Port structures and lighting would mar the visual aesthetics for recreationists and others boating in the area. Construction, vessel operation, and GBS placement would result in short-term, minor effects of the flow of marine waters and suspension of sea flood sediments. Flow disturbances, scour, and associated turbidity resulting from the presence of the GBSs and other structures would be long-term but localized and minor. Construction activities would also affect marine mammals, sea turtles, hard bottoms, submerged aquatic vegetation, algae colonies, birds, and sensitive species. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - NORTHEAST GATEWAY DEEPWATER PORT, MASSACHUSETTS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS. [Part 1 of 2]
T2  - NORTHEAST GATEWAY DEEPWATER PORT, MASSACHUSETTS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS.
AN  - 756824381; 12307-060441_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater port in Massachusetts Bay, 13 miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, are proposed to provide for a terminal facility for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At present, LNG meets 20 to 30 percent of natural gas demand in New England. Forecasts indicate that gas consumption in New England will continue to increase at an average annual growth rate of 1.4 percent for the next 22 years. As domestic supplies are static, the major increase in natural gas supply will have to come from LNG. The proposed port would lie within Continental Shelf Block 125 in water depths of 270 to 290 feet. The port would be capable of mooring special purpose LNG carriers, referred to as Energy Bridge Regasification Vessels, (EBRVs) with capacities of 4.9 million billion cubic feet (Bcf). The port would delivery between 150 and 175 Bcf or natural gas per year to the region. Fixed components of the port would include two submerged turret loading (STL) buoys, two flexible risers, two pipeline end manifolds, eight suction pile anchors, and two subsea flow lines, approximately 3,773 feet and 2,942 feet in length, that would connect to a new 16.1-mile-long pipeline lateral. The pipeline lateral would connect the port to the HubLine Pipeline at a location approximately three miles east of Marblehead Neck. Two EBRVs would be equipped to store, transport, and vaporize LNG and to odorize and meter natural gas. Vaporization would occur onboard the EBRVs using closed-loop shell-and-tube, recirculating heat exchangers heaved by steam from boil-off gas/vaporized LNG-fired boilers. Onshore meter stations in Salem and Weymouth, Massachusetts would be expanded as part of the project, and space would b rented in the existing office space for an onshore operations center for the port. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and onshore versus offshore port alternatives, alternative terminal types, alternative port sites, alternative vaporization technologies, alternative anchoring methods, alternative pipeline routes, and alternative construction schedules. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port and terminal facilities would provide for the increasing demand for natural gas in New England and could replace more expensive, less environmentally friendly oil-fired generators and heating units in some cases. The facilities would promote the development of oil and natural gas production on the outer continental shelf by affording an economic and safe means of transporting oil and natural gas to the mainland. Total combined construction employment would provide jobs for 679 workers, of which over 200 would be local hires. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Port construction would disturb 43 acres of habitat for flow line installation, setting of the suction anchors, and placement of the pipeline end manifolds. Benthos, shellfish, finfish, and marine mammals and sea turtles could be affected by construction activities, and operation of the facility would increase the number of ships and, thereby, the risk of collisions with marine mammals and sea turtles. Five species of endangered sea turtles and six species of endangered whales occur in the areas. Essential habitat for 28 species of finfish, two species of squid, and three species of shellfish would be affected. Recreational fishing and marine visual aesthetics would be degraded somewhat. Construction activities would limit shipping in the area due to restriction of access. Construction- and operation-related emissions of nitrogen oxides could exceed federal air quality standards. LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (22 U.S.C 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (46 U.S.C. 701), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T1  - PORT OF IBERIA, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 36342051; 12312
AB  - PURPOSE: The deepening of existing navigation channels between the Port of Iberia (POI) and the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana is proposed. The study area is bounded by the cities of Lafayette and New Iberia to the north, the Atchafalaya River to the east, the Vermilion River and the Freshwater Bayou to the west, and the Weeks Bay/Vermillion Bay complex and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Major communities in the study areas include New Iberia, Lafayette, Jeanerette, Franklin, Abbeville, and numerous smaller communities. The Freshwater Bayou alignment incorporates four existing channels, namely, the Commercial Canal, west on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and then south along the Freshwater Bayou to the Gulf. An August 2002 reconnaissance report recommended the deepening of the Commercial Canal, portions of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Freshwater Bayou from an average depth of 12 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW) to a depth of 20 feet below MLLW from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico. The limits of the proposed project extend into Vermillion Parish, which is beyond the jurisdiction of the POI, hence, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development agreed to act as the non-federal sponsor for construction of the project. Alternative channel depths under consideration in this final EIS are 16, 18, and 20 feet below MLLW. As the shallower depths of 16 and 18 feet below MLLW would not accommodate the larger vessels required to transport deepwater topsides and jackets. Moreover, some vessels would be restricted to one-way traffic in their use of the modified channel. Channel width under the 20-foot proposed action would be 150 feet. Cost of initial construction is estimated at $163.3 million, while the average annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.8 million. The overall benefit-cost ratio is positive. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve navigational access from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico, improve and maintain the current state of the affected environmental resources, and minimize any future marsh degradation. Dredge material would be used beneficially to restore bank lines and create marsh habitat. Operation and maintenance cost savings would be significant. Dredged material would also be used to nourish beaches, improving littoral hydrology along a number of shore lines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 501 acres of marsh would be converted to upland. The project would also affect 131 acres of freshwater marsh, 2,618 acres of intermediate marsh, 445 acres of brackish marsh, and 3,197 acres of shallow open water. Dredging and disposal activities would temporarily degrade essential fish habitat. Benthic habitat would be destroyed by dredging and disposal operations LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Water Resources Development Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-541).

T2  - RIO SALADO OESTE, SALT RIVER-PHOENIX, PHOENIX, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA.
AN  - 756824397; 12301-060435_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan for the Rio Salado Oeste, Salt River study area of Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona is proposed. The study area consists of an eight-mile reach of the Salt River and adjacent lands, extending from Nineteenth Avenue downstream to Eighty-Third Avenue between Buckeye and Baseline roads, in and near southwestern Phoenix Historically, the study area supported significant biological resources, including extensive riparian and marsh habitats. Urban development, diversion of water to support agriculture, and domestic livestock grazing have eliminated or altered most of the natural vegetative communities that occupied the study area, leaving only scattered remnants of the original communities. Modifications to the river system have prevented flows through the corridor except during flood events and lowered the associated groundwater table. In addition, sand and gravel mining operations have resulted in further degradation of the river channel and hydrology. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would entail excavation, planting of vegetation, and installation of irrigation equipment to facilitate the restoration of 1,466 acres of riparian habitats along the river corridor. Restored habitats would consist of 170 acres of river channel, including 34 acres of in-channel wetlands, 375 acres of cottonwood/willow forest, 417 acres of mesquite, 156 acres of other wetlands, 296 acres of riparian scrub, and 52 acres of scrub shrub. First costs of the ecosystem restoration and recreation components are estimated at $151.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide a net habitat value of 847 Average Annual Functional Capacity Units (AAFCUs), an increase of 267 AAFCUs over the existing situation. The plan would also deliver recreational opportunities, general improvements in aesthetic quality, a reduction in air pollution levels, and a slight reduction in the potential for flood damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grading and other excavation activities would alter the geomorphology of the corridor somewhat. Construction activities would result in short-term loss of vegetation, decreases in fish and wildlife populations, damage or destruction of cultural resource sites, and increased sedimentation in the corridor and down stream areas. Recreation use could result in the release of additional air pollutants. Increases in standing water would increase the production of insect vectors.

T1  - TONGUE RIVER RAILROAD COMPANY, INC. - CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION - WESTERN ALIGNMENT, TONGUE RIVER III, ROSEBUD AND BIG HORN COUNTIES, MONTANA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS OF 1986 AND APRIL 1996).
AN  - 36349107; 12295
AB  - PURPOSE: The issuance of a permit by the Surface Transportation Board (Board) for the construction and operation of 17.3 miles of rail line, to be known as the Western Alignment or Tongue River III, in Rosebud and Big Horn counties, Montana is proposed. The applicant (Tongue River Railroad Company, Inc.) previously submitted two related applications that were considered and approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Board's predecessor, in 1986 and 1996, known as Tongue River I and II, respectively, involving the construction and operation of rail lines in Custer, Big Horn, Powder River, and Rosebud counties; . The Western Alignment is an alternative route for the southernmost portion of the 41-mile Ashland-to-Decker alignment approved under Tongue River II and known as the Four Mile Alternative. The overall purpose of all the Tongue River rail projects is to transport coal from mines in the Powder River basin and the Tongue River Valley to markets in the Midwest and Northeast. The Board has conducted a thorough and comprehensive analysis of all potential environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed Western Alignment, the results of which are contained in this final supplement to the final EISs of 1986 and April 1996. As part of the analysis, this supplement compares potential impacts of the Western Alignment to those of the previously approved Four Mile Creek Alternative considered in the 1996 final EIS. Furthermore, in this supplement, the applicant's proposed refinements to the alignment previously approved by the 1986 and 1996 reviews. It has been determined that both the proposed Western Alignment and the proposed Four Mile Creek Alignment are environmentally acceptable routes and that proposed refinements to alignments previously approved for Tongue River I and II would not result n any new significant impacts. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By transporting coal from the Powder River basin and Tongue River Valley to the national railway system, the new rail lines would ensure a continued supply of coal to electrical power generation interests in the Midwest and Northeast. The reliability, security, and longevity of the U.S. coal supply system would be bolstered and the nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy, particularly oil, would be lessened. Either of the routes considered acceptable, as either could operate safely and both avoid the sensitive Tongue River Canyon. The Western Alignment would offer certain operational efficiencies and concomitant environmental benefits due to its more favorable grade. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The Western Alignment would displace 672 acres of new rights-of-way, affecting 13 landowners, 42 non-perennial stream crossings, 1.69 acres of wetlands, habitat for three endangered species, and nine cultural and paleontological resource sites. In addition, the project would require 17.3 million cubic yards of excavation, result in 18,300 to 28,700 tons of erosion per year during construction, increase sediment loads in the Tongue River by 6,770 to 10,600 tons per year, and require one new river bridge crossing. The Four Mile Creek Alignment would displace 765 acres of new rights-of-way, affecting 15 landowners (including two homeowners to be displaced), 40 non-perennial stream crossings, 6.09 acres of wetlands, habitat for three endangered species, and six cultural and paleontological resource sites. In addition, the project would require 10.3 million cubic yards of excavation, result in 14,600 to 23,800 tons of erosion per year during construction, increase sediment loads in the Tongue River by 3,650 to 6,000 tons per year, and require one new river bridge crossing. LEGAL MANDATES: American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. Sec 10901), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

T1  - PCS PHOSPHATE MINE CONTINUATION, AURORA, BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (ATTACHMENT: ABSTRACT AND SUMMARY).
AN  - 36343523; 12829
AB  - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamilico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. The mine would be expanded into a 3,412-acre area of the tract located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, a superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. This attachment to the draft EIS of October 2006 provides an abstract and a summary briefly describing the proposal and its regulatory history. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 3,412 acres, including 2,408 acres of waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced. Land displace would include 1,422 acres of prime farmland, 62 acres of which are in cultivation, 1,202 acres of floodplain, 157 acres of riparian buffers, 1,654 acres of undisturbed biotic communities and 1,728 acres of disturbed biotic communities, 11 acres of creeks, 19 acres of ponds, and 38 acres of brackish mars. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (43 U.S.C. 1241.), and Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

T1  - I-49 SOUTH, WAX LAKE OUTLET TO BERWICK, ROUTE US 90, ST. MARY'S PARISH, LOUISIANA. [Part 4 of 5]

AN  - 756824657; 12289-060422_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The upgrading of US 90 to a four-lane controlled access freeway meeting interstate standards from Wax Lake Outlet to Berwick in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana is proposed. US 90 is an integral component of the federal highway network, serving as an element in the National Highway System. US 90 serves an important road in linking local and regional transportation networks. The portion of US 90 in the project area, which was designed and constructed as an urban highway, does not provide the geometry or infrastructure to accommodate local and regional transportation demand adequately, and future traffic increase will further degrade transportation along this stretch of the highway. The upgraded highway would be a segment of Interstate 49 (I-49) South that would extend from Wax Lake Outlet to the approach to the bridge over the Lower Atchafalaya River and an intersection with Louisiana (LA) 182 in the town of Berwick, a distance of 9.3 miles. The improvements would occur along the existing alignment. Depending on the location, frontage roads would be provided utilizing either one-way or two-way road systems. A new two-lane bridge from be provided across Wax Lake Outlet and a ramp overpass would connect Catherine Street with Waveland Drive. Proceeding west to east, interchanges would be provided with LA 183 Access Road East, Red Cypress Road, Tiffany Street/Liparo Street. Southwest Boulevard, and Berwick South Road/Thorguson Road. Cost of the project is estimated at $293.5 million in 2006 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded facility would provide a boost to planning to implement major transportation system linkage improvements for a substantial portion of the state's population and economy, consistent with federal, state, and local planning efforts. A critical corridor for hurricane evacuation would be improved. Safety and efficiency on US 90 would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 13.2 acres of newly acquired rights-of-way would involve displacement of a parcel currently partially occupied by a fenced equipment storage yard operated by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. In addition, the project would displace 18.02 acres of wetlands, including 4.37 acres of vegetated wet ditches, 9.62 acres of forested wetlands, and 4.03 acres of scrub/shrub wetlands. Traffic-generated noise levels in the year 2030 would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 174 residences. The project would affect Idlewild Plantation House, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 06-0277D, Volume 30, Number 2.
