T2  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 873127038; 14837-1_0019
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. 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  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH. [Part 6 of 26]
T2  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 873126907; 14837-1_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. 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.).

The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. 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.).

T2  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 873126680; 14837-1_0026
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million.

Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. 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  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH. [Part 15 of 26]
T2  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 873126258; 14837-1_0015
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

AN  - 873125981; 14837-1_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would require removing riparian vegetation on the Logan River and upland and landscaped vegetation along the canal alignments. Modifications to the LHPS Canal POD could temporarily affect aquatic habitat in the Logan River. Implementation would require about 151 construction easements on public land, private residential/agricultural land, and private nonagricultural land. Canal structures would be constructed on or would cross National Forest System land, Logan Golf & Country Club, Ray Hugie Park, Lundstrom Park, and Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Temporary effects to four block groups of low-income populations and three blocks of minority populations would occur. 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  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH. [Part 1 of 26]
T2  - LOGAN NORTHERN CANAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY OF LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH.
AN  - 873125978; 14837-1_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the Logan Northern Canal (LN Canal) system in Cache County, Utah is proposed. In July 2009, a landslide occurred along a hillside in the city of Logan and a section of the LN Canal, a locally managed irrigation canal, broke away causing a breach which required the indefinite closure of a section of the canal. This closure affects other parts of the local irrigation water delivery system, with the result that the canal is not delivering all water allocated to local water shareholders. Cache County is seeking funding assistance through the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to design and construct an irrigation system that will restore irrigation water delivery to LN Canal shareholders. Before the 2009 landslide, water was diverted from the Logan River below First Dam along Canyon Road at about 1700 East (south of U.S. Highway 89). From this point of diversion (POD), the existing LN Canal route generally follows Canyon Road before turning north at about 600 East in Logan. The canal runs northerly through Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, and unincorporated areas under the jurisdiction of Cache County and terminates north of Smithfield. After the landslide, a temporary water delivery system was established for LN Canal shareholders, but this system is able to deliver only about 50 percent of the water shares associated with the LN Canal. The study area is roughly bounded by 3100 North on the north (near Hyde Park), the Logan River on the south (in Logan), about 600 East on the west (in Logan and North Logan), and about 2000 East on the east (in Logan and North Logan). A narrow corridor also extends into Logan Canyon along the Logan River to about Second Dam. Three action alternatives (Purple Alternative, Orange Alternative, and Blue Alternative) and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under the Purple Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, the POD for the LN Canal water would be moved upstream to the Logan Hyde Park Smithfield (LHPS) Canal POD structure below Second Dam. The LHPS Canal POD would be reconstructed as a box culvert between the POD and about Lundstrom Park/1500 North in Logan to accommodate an increase in the amount of water that could be diverted. LN Canal shares would be diverted from the box culvert into a pipeline that travels under city streets and discharges to the existing LN Canal at about 1500 North. The box culvert would end at Lundstrom Park/1500 North, and LHPS Canal shares would continue to flow in the existing LHPS Canal to its shareholders downstream. At the new 1500 North discharge point on the LN Canal, some water would be delivered to upstream users in a pressure pipe installed in the existing canal maintenance road. The remaining water would be discharged into the existing LN Canal for delivery to downstream users. For LN Canal shareholders between the POD and the Laub Diversion, a six-inch-diameter pipeline would be constructed in the existing canal. The Purple Alternative would include removing structures from 14 properties along Canyon Road in Logan at the toe of the historically unstable part of the Logan Bluff. The estimated cost of implementing the preferred alternative is between $20.4 million and $22.4 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reconstruction would restore the safe delivery of water that was conveyed by the LN Canal before the 2009 landslide, and address the remaining hazards associated with the landslide zone between about 750 East and 1100 East.

AN  - 863359688
AB  - CRP is a voluntary program that assists farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers to use their environmentally-sensitive land for conservation benefits. Producers enrolling in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers in exchange for rental payments, cost-share and technical assistance. By reducing water runoff and sedimentation, CRP also protects groundwater and helps improve the condition of lakes, rivers, ponds and streams. Acreage enrolled in the CRP is planted to resource-conserving vegetative covers, making the program a major contributor to wildlife population increases in many parts of the country.

T1  - NEW ORLEANS TO VENICE (NOV), LOUISIANA, HURRICANE RISK REDUCTION PROJECT, INCORPORATION OF NON-FEDERAL LEVEES FROM OAKVILLE TO ST. JUDE, PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOUISIANA. [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - NEW ORLEANS TO VENICE (NOV), LOUISIANA, HURRICANE RISK REDUCTION PROJECT, INCORPORATION OF NON-FEDERAL LEVEES FROM OAKVILLE TO ST. JUDE, PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 873129359; 14818-2_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The replacement or modification of 32 miles of non-federal levee (NFL) system for incorporation into the New Orleans to Venice (NOV) federal project and the construction from ground level of two miles of earthen back levees in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The project area is located 15 miles south of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River between Oakville and St. Jude. Plaquemines Parish has long, narrow strips of protected land on both sides of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane and flood protection is currently provided by a system of federal levees along the river and federal and non-federal back levees which border the Gulf of Mexico's coastal wetlands and protect the land between the gulf and river from tropical storm surges. The distance between the gulf-side back levees and the river varies, but is usually less than one mile. The NFL, which is currently maintained by Plaquemines Parish, received extensive damage during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and following these events was authorized for incorporation into the NOV federal project. Key issues identified during scoping include the level of risk reduction, levee alignment, project cost and duration, and impacts to wetlands. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Under the proposed action and selected alternative (Alternative B), existing levee sections would be raised to a two percent design elevation, or approximately a 50-year level of risk reduction (LORR), and all five sections of the NFL would be incorporated into the federal hurricane and storm protection system by employing alignment alternatives which closely follow the existing levee alignment. The existing levee elevation would increase by three to four feet, National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NVGD), in the northern portion of the project area and by eight feet, NVGD, in the southern portion. Alternative B2, which is the locally preferred alternative, would be identical to the proposed action except that higher levee grades would be employed in Section 1. Under Alternative C, the levees in Sections 1 through 3 would be raised to a two percent LORR and incorporated into the federal system; and at the end of Section 3, the levee would be designed to turn 90 degrees to the east to tie in to the existing Mississippi River levee. The estimated fully funded cost of the proposed action, including mitigation, is $456 million. Levee replacement and modification would be conducted over a three to five year period subject to weather and funding. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would provide enhanced storm surge protection and protect evacuation routes, thus reducing risk to public safety and damage from catastrophic storm inundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Use of proposed government-furnished borrow areas could impact a total of 908.6 acres of farmland. Direct impacts to 46 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat, 24.9 acres of swamp habitat, 10.4 acres of fresh marsh, 16.1 acres of brackish marsh, and 144.9 acres of wetland pasture would require mitigation. Construction activities would cause temporary disruptions to traffic and generate noise and dust. Temporarily increased sediment loads would result in minor increases in suspended solids and turbidity in local waterways. LEGAL MANDATES: Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-234).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a detention dam with a permanent pool of 816 acres that would be used for rural water supply and drinking water for the cities of Osceola and Woodburn in Clarke County, Iowa is proposed. The present water supply source, West Lake, is an existing reservoir located one mile west of Osceola. The West Lake dam was built in 1934 and was subsequently raised three times. Two serious drought events have occurred since the dam was last raised in 1983 and a new water supply source is needed due to increasing demand. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and three proposed dam site locations on Squaw Creek, are evaluated in this revised draft EIS. Under the recommended alternative (Alternative 2), a multi-purpose detention dam would be constructed at site 4B and would consist of an earthfill dam, a reinforced concrete spillway, and a vegetated auxiliary spillway. The approximate height would be 66 feet and the approximate length would be 2,465 feet. The auxiliary spillway and the dam would cover 79 acres and improvements to County Highway R35 (Truro Pavement) would cover 14 acres within the proposed acquisition area. Sections of four county roads, Truro Pavement, 195th Avenue, 205th Avenue, and Orange Street, would be permanently flooded by the reservoir and closed. Truro Pavement would be re-routed over the top of the dam and reconnected to the north via Pacific Street and 210th Avenue. Sections of two county roads, 205th Avenue and Pacific Street, would be raised a foot above the top of dam elevation; and sections of two county roads, 180th Avenue and Osage Street, would be raised to or above the auxiliary spillway. One raw water intake structure and one raw water pipeline connecting the intake to the water treatment plant at West Lake would be installed. A 268-acre primary developed recreation area would be located on the northeast side of the reservoir and would include 112 modern camping and recreational vehicle sites, day use areas, a concrete boat ramp, a fishing pier, and a swimming beach. In addition, nine fishing jetties and three additional boat ramps would be added to improve angler access to the resource. A public recreation and wildlife management area would be provided on 1,608 acres. Forty-seven sediment basins located upstream and adjacent to the permanent pool would reduce agricultural pollutants to the lake. Total cost of the project is estimated at $41.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would provide a safe, cost-effective, and reliable water supply of 2.2 million gallons per day for the towns of Osceola, Murray, and Woodburn and for the service area of the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association. The recommended alternative would result in a net gain of 907 acres of aquatic habitat and 412 acres of new terrestrial habitat. The proposed multiple-purpose site would provide 1,871 acres of public recreation including a lake open to fishing, boating, camping, and many other activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended alternative, construction would destroy 513 acres of wildlife habitat favorable to migratory birds, convert 5.1 miles of perennial streams, and convert 2,336 acres of prime and important farmland to non-agricultural use. A diversity of landscape features would be replaced by a lake, recreation area, and managed wildlife area. Construction would likely affect historic and prehistoric cultural resources. Some landowners have expressed opposition to the project and may take legal action in order to delay or stop the project. Although a dam failure is not expected, there is a remote possibility of failure which would impact homes, roads, bridges, power lines, crop fields, and forest land downstream of the site with the potential for loss of life and serious damage. LEGAL MANDATES: Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (16 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.).

T1  - CLARKE COUNTY WATER SUPPLY, CLARKE COUNTY, IOWA (REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). [Part 5 of 6]
T2  - CLARKE COUNTY WATER SUPPLY, CLARKE COUNTY, IOWA (REVISED DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT).
AN  - 873127458; 14776-0_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a detention dam with a permanent pool of 816 acres that would be used for rural water supply and drinking water for the cities of Osceola and Woodburn in Clarke County, Iowa is proposed. The present water supply source, West Lake, is an existing reservoir located one mile west of Osceola. The West Lake dam was built in 1934 and was subsequently raised three times. Two serious drought events have occurred since the dam was last raised in 1983 and a new water supply source is needed due to increasing demand. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and three proposed dam site locations on Squaw Creek, are evaluated in this revised draft EIS. Under the recommended alternative (Alternative 2), a multi-purpose detention dam would be constructed at site 4B and would consist of an earthfill dam, a reinforced concrete spillway, and a vegetated auxiliary spillway. The approximate height would be 66 feet and the approximate length would be 2,465 feet. The auxiliary spillway and the dam would cover 79 acres and improvements to County Highway R35 (Truro Pavement) would cover 14 acres within the proposed acquisition area. Sections of four county roads, Truro Pavement, 195th Avenue, 205th Avenue, and Orange Street, would be permanently flooded by the reservoir and closed. Truro Pavement would be re-routed over the top of the dam and reconnected to the north via Pacific Street and 210th Avenue. Sections of two county roads, 205th Avenue and Pacific Street, would be raised a foot above the top of dam elevation; and sections of two county roads, 180th Avenue and Osage Street, would be raised to or above the auxiliary spillway. One raw water intake structure and one raw water pipeline connecting the intake to the water treatment plant at West Lake would be installed. A 268-acre primary developed recreation area would be located on the northeast side of the reservoir and would include 112 modern camping and recreational vehicle sites, day use areas, a concrete boat ramp, a fishing pier, and a swimming beach. In addition, nine fishing jetties and three additional boat ramps would be added to improve angler access to the resource. A public recreation and wildlife management area would be provided on 1,608 acres. Forty-seven sediment basins located upstream and adjacent to the permanent pool would reduce agricultural pollutants to the lake. Total cost of the project is estimated at $41.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would provide a safe, cost-effective, and reliable water supply of 2.2 million gallons per day for the towns of Osceola, Murray, and Woodburn and for the service area of the Southern Iowa Rural Water Association. The recommended alternative would result in a net gain of 907 acres of aquatic habitat and 412 acres of new terrestrial habitat. The proposed multiple-purpose site would provide 1,871 acres of public recreation including a lake open to fishing, boating, camping, and many other activities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the recommended alternative, construction would destroy 513 acres of wildlife habitat favorable to migratory birds, convert 5.1 miles of perennial streams, and convert 2,336 acres of prime and important farmland to non-agricultural use. A diversity of landscape features would be replaced by a lake, recreation area, and managed wildlife area. Construction would likely affect historic and prehistoric cultural resources. Some landowners have expressed opposition to the project and may take legal action in order to delay or stop the project. Although a dam failure is not expected, there is a remote possibility of failure which would impact homes, roads, bridges, power lines, crop fields, and forest land downstream of the site with the potential for loss of life and serious damage. LEGAL MANDATES: Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (16 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.).

T1  - BIRD HAZARD REDUCTION PROGRAM, JOHN F. KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, QUEENS COUNTY, NEW YORK (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1994). [Part 1 of 1]
T2  - BIRD HAZARD REDUCTION PROGRAM, JOHN F. KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, QUEENS COUNTY, NEW YORK (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1994).
AN  - 873127673; 14757-1_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: An expansion of the bird hazard reduction program around the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens County, New York is proposed. The airport location is adjacent to the 9,155-acre Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge and bird strikes create substantial hazards to human health and safety, as well as major financial losses. An incident in 1975, when herring gulls were ingested into an engine of a departing DC-10, caused an aborted takeoff. Fortunately, there were no fatalities; but the aircraft caught fire and was destroyed. In 1995, an Air France Concorde ingested a pair of Canada geese into an engine, and while the incident resulted in a safe landing, the aircraft sustained major damage. Increasing gull strike problems and public concern resulted in the development of a 1994 EIS on bird strike management at JFK; and bird strikes have decreased substantially since the implementation of the integrated bird hazard management program and on-airport shooting program. However, bird strikes continue and there have been 1,759 bird strikes involving 72 bird species at JFK over the period 1994 to 2009. This draft supplemental EIS updates and expands the 1994 final EIS and reviews six alternatives for reducing bird strikes. Under the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), current bird hazard management would continue with use of gull hazard management methods, on-airport use of nonlethal and lethal methods to reduce hazards to aircraft by all bird species, and technical advice and outreach to off-airport landowners and property managers regarding ways to reduce bird attractants. Under Alternative 2, existing on-airport management efforts would be augmented by establishing a regular bird hazard monitoring program and improved reporting of nonlethal management actions. Also, agencies would be enabled to permit, recommend, and use nonlethal bird hazard management methods at off-airport sites to reduce bird hazards with the permission of the landowner/manager. This alternative also includes the use of nonlethal methods to reduce hazards to aircraft from birds at Gateway National Recreation Area (NRA), particularly at Rulers Bar Hassock, and Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenue Landfills. Alternative 3 would increase the duration of the annual supplemental on-airport shooting program from May through August to May through November. Personnel at the gull shooting stations would be authorized to use lethal methods to keep Canada geese, Atlantic brant, mute swans, double-crested cormorants, and ducks from entering JFK airspace in the same manner as gull species are taken. Supplemental on-airport shooting program personnel would also be authorized to take individuals from flocks of rock pigeons, European starlings, crows and blackbirds and to frighten remaining flock members from the site. This alternative could also include use of lethal rabbit and rodent control measures to reduce attractants for raptors. Alternative 4 would enable lethal bird hazard management projects at off-airport sites targeting Canada geese, mute swans, double-crested cormorants, blackbirds, crows, rock pigeons, and European starlings within a five-mile radius of JFK. This alternative would also include efforts to reduce the resident Canada Goose population within seven miles of the airport, including the use of lethal methods at Rulers Bar Hassock and Pennsylvania Avenue and Fountain Avenue Landfills in Gateway NRA. Egg oiling/addling/puncturing could also be used on mute swan nests in Gateway NRA. Alternative 5 would involve relocation of the Jamaica Bay laughing gull colony. Finally, Alternative 6 would combine the current program and the supplements of alternatives 2 through 5, thus enabling the use of the full range of bird hazard reduction techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would minimize the risk of aircraft accidents resulting from birdstrikes. On-airport implementation of improved monitoring and data collection procedures should result in more targeted bird hazard management efforts and a more effective and efficient bird hazard management program. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Relocation of target birds could disrupt or displace nontarget bird species. Some nonlethal management methods such as prolonged harassment could have an adverse impact on vegetation and nontarget species, but impacts are expected to be minimal and short-term. Off-airport habitat management activities to reduce target bird use of sites may have adverse impacts on species with similar habitat requirements but may be beneficial to other species. LEGAL MANDATES: Animal Damage Control Act of 1931 (7 U.S.C. 426 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 94-0044D, Volume 18, Number 1 and 94-0110F, Volume 18, Number 2, respectively.

T1  - GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS J101 AND J163: REQUEST FOR NONREGULATED STATUS. [Part 17 of 24]
T2  - GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS J101 AND J163: REQUEST FOR NONREGULATED STATUS.
AN  - 873130018; 14745-5_0017
AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

T2  - GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS J101 AND J163: REQUEST FOR NONREGULATED STATUS.
AN  - 873129984; 14745-5_0016
AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment.

Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation.

T2  - GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS J101 AND J163: REQUEST FOR NONREGULATED STATUS.
AN  - 873129252; 14745-5_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.). PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 10-0054D, Volume 34, Number 1.

AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

T2  - GLYPHOSATE-TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS J101 AND J163: REQUEST FOR NONREGULATED STATUS.
AN  - 873128729; 14745-5_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

AN  - 873127666; 14745-5_0010
AB  - PURPOSE: The granting of nonregulated status to two alfalfa lines, designated J101 and J163, which have been genetically engineered for tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, is proposed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is grown for forage, grazing, seed production (forage and sprouts), human consumption, and honey production. It is among the most important forage crops in the United States, with more than 20 million acres in cultivation. Conventional alfalfa has been used by farmers as livestock feed for decades because of its high protein and low fiber content. Because it is widespread and is typically grown as a perennial crop, alfalfa also provides important habitat for wildlife. Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles.

Monsanto Company (Monsanto) and Forage Genetics International (FGI) incorporated the gene sequence from a native soil microorganism, Agrobacterium, into the alfalfa genome in order to make alfalfa tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, an herbicide Monsanto produces. On April 16, 2004, Monsanto and FGI requested a determination of nonregulated status for their two glyphosate-tolerant (GT) alfalfa lines, J101 and J163, based on the assertion that they do not present a plant pest risk. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) evaluated the plant pest risks posed by the nonregulated use of lines J101 and J163 and determined, effective June 14, 2005, that the lines were no longer considered regulated. Nine months later, a group of organic alfalfa growers and several associations filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that challenged the decision and the Court ruled on February 13, 2007 that APHIS failed to adequately consider certain environmental and economic impacts as required by law. In the two growing seasons that GT alfalfa was on the market after being deregulated, approximately 200,000 total acres were planted in 1,552 counties and 48 states. In compliance with the court order, a draft EIS issued in December 2009 considered two alternatives, deregulation of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163, and a No Action Alternative that would maintain the status of GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 as regulated articles. Under the No Action Alternative, the 200,000 acres of alfalfa fields currently planted with GT alfalfa would still be permitted to be harvested. Under the preferred alternative, permits would no longer be required for introductions of GT alfalfa derived from these events. Based on comments received on the draft EIS, this final EIS includes the analysis of a third alternative that would take into account mandatory measures to provide for isolation distances and geographical restrictions. The isolation/geographic restriction alternative could use partial deregulation or federal/industry partnerships that would require the segregation of seed production of GT alfalfa and non-GT varieties. Two alternatives are preferred: deregulation and deregulation accompanied by a combination of isolation distances and geographic restrictions on the production of genetically engineered alfalfa seed and, in some locations, hay. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Deregulation would meet the purpose and need for development and use of genetically engineered organisms. and APHIS has concluded that granting nonregulated status to GT alfalfa lines J101 and J163 would not result in significant impacts to the human environment. Roundup Ready alfalfa would not be toxic to animals, would not compete with plants any differently than non-GT alfalfa, and would not have any significant effect on threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat. These genetically engineered varieties could provide benefits to the environment, consumers, and farm income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Movement of genes between alfalfa plants is dependent on a number of factors, but GT alfalfa genes may be found in non-GT alfalfa and organic growers could be impacted. Due to the use of glyphosate on GT alfalfa, overall glyphosate use could increase in alfalfa production. However, use of other, more toxic herbicides would be expected to decrease in alfalfa production. Early GT alfalfa adopters could gain market share while conventional non-GT alfalfa farmers may lose market share. LEGAL MANDATES: Plant Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).

T2  - MISSISSIPPI RIVER GULF OUTLET (MRGO) ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION STUDY, LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI.
AN  - 873127459; 14738-8_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: A comprehensive restoration plan to restore the Lake Borgne ecosystem and the areas affected by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) navigation channel within coastal southeast Louisiana and parts of southwest Mississippi is proposed. The study area includes portions of the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain and encompasses approximately 3.86 million acres or over 6,000 square miles. In Louisiana, the study area includes the Pontchartrain Basin, which is comprised of the Upper, Middle, and Lower sub-basins. The Upper Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Maurepas and its adjacent wetlands and swamps. The Middle Pontchartrain sub-basin is comprised of Lake Pontchartrain, its adjacent cities and towns, and surrounding wetlands. The Lower Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Borgne, the deauthorized MRGO, the Mississippi River, Chandeleur and Breton Sounds, portions of the Gulf of Mexico, and the surrounding wetlands, barrier islands, and communities. In Mississippi, the study area includes the Western Mississippi Sound, its bordering wetlands, and Cat Island. Louisiana parishes in the study area include Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Mississippi counties include portions of Hancock and Harrison. Construction and operation of the MRGO, in combination with other natural and man-made factors, has caused direct, indirect and cumulative land loss, shoreline erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat modification, and impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources throughout the project area. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused shoaling in the MRGO channel and, after Congressional request for a plan, the MRGO was officially de-authorized from the confluence with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico as a federal navigation channel. A rock closure structure was constructed across the outlet near the Bayou La Loutre Ridge in St. Bernard Parish in 2009. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternative C, which is the National Ecosystem Restoration Plan and the tentatively selected plan, would restore approximately 58,861 acres of habitat, including 13,950 acres of fresh and intermediate marsh; 33,966 acres of brackish marsh; 10,431 acres of cypress swamp; 466 acres of saline marsh; and 48 acres of ridge habitat. Alternative C includes approximately 70 miles of shoreline protection, and adaptively managed freshwater diversion near Violet, Louisiana. The Violet Freshwater Diversion, pulsing 7,000 cubic feet per second from April to May would influence 115,078 acres. Approximately 11,222 acres of the restoration and protection features would be located in the East Orleans Landbridge/Pearl River area and approximately 9,301 acres of restoration features would be located in the Biloxi Marsh area, which have been determined to be critical landscape features with respect to storm surge. Additionally, the cypress swamp and ridge restoration features include forested habitat demonstrated as having some storm surge damage risk reduction benefits. Three recreation features are proposed under the tentatively selected plan and would be located at Orleans Parish's Bienvenue Triangle, the Violet Freshwater Diversion site in St. Bernard's Parish, and Shell Beach, also in St. Bernard's Parish. Total project construction costs under the tentatively selected plan are estimated at $2.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A comprehensive ecosystem restoration plan would modify the MRGO and restore the areas affected by the navigation channel, restore natural features of the ecosystem that will reduce or prevent damage from storm surge, and prevent the intrusion of saltwater into the waterway. The Violet Freshwater Diversion would mimic natural processes and enhance the sustainability of the system through the input of freshwater, nutrients, and sediment. Anticipated outputs of the tentatively selected plan would help address the current trend of degradation of the Lake Borgne ecosystem, support nationally significant resources, provide a sustainable and diverse array of fish and wildlife habitats, provide infrastructure protection, and make progress towards a more sustainable ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The diversion channel would result in the loss of 284 acres of prime farmland and 245 acres of wetland. Restoration of the Bayou La Loutre Ridge would result in permanent impacts to 48 acres of brackish marsh. Turbidity as a result of dredging and construction would impact oyster leases temporarily. The impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and various emergency actions to address oil spill impacts could impact the restoration project. LEGAL MANDATES: Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 (P.L. 85-624) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114).

T1  - MISSISSIPPI RIVER GULF OUTLET (MRGO) ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION STUDY, LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. [Part 5 of 9]
T2  - MISSISSIPPI RIVER GULF OUTLET (MRGO) ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION STUDY, LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI.
AN  - 873126419; 14738-8_0005
AB  - PURPOSE: A comprehensive restoration plan to restore the Lake Borgne ecosystem and the areas affected by the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) navigation channel within coastal southeast Louisiana and parts of southwest Mississippi is proposed. The study area includes portions of the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain and encompasses approximately 3.86 million acres or over 6,000 square miles. In Louisiana, the study area includes the Pontchartrain Basin, which is comprised of the Upper, Middle, and Lower sub-basins. The Upper Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Maurepas and its adjacent wetlands and swamps. The Middle Pontchartrain sub-basin is comprised of Lake Pontchartrain, its adjacent cities and towns, and surrounding wetlands. The Lower Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Borgne, the deauthorized MRGO, the Mississippi River, Chandeleur and Breton Sounds, portions of the Gulf of Mexico, and the surrounding wetlands, barrier islands, and communities. In Mississippi, the study area includes the Western Mississippi Sound, its bordering wetlands, and Cat Island. Louisiana parishes in the study area include Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Mississippi counties include portions of Hancock and Harrison. Construction and operation of the MRGO, in combination with other natural and man-made factors, has caused direct, indirect and cumulative land loss, shoreline erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat modification, and impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources throughout the project area. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused shoaling in the MRGO channel and, after Congressional request for a plan, the MRGO was officially de-authorized from the confluence with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico as a federal navigation channel. A rock closure structure was constructed across the outlet near the Bayou La Loutre Ridge in St. Bernard Parish in 2009. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternative C, which is the National Ecosystem Restoration Plan and the tentatively selected plan, would restore approximately 58,861 acres of habitat, including 13,950 acres of fresh and intermediate marsh; 33,966 acres of brackish marsh; 10,431 acres of cypress swamp; 466 acres of saline marsh; and 48 acres of ridge habitat. Alternative C includes approximately 70 miles of shoreline protection, and adaptively managed freshwater diversion near Violet, Louisiana. The Violet Freshwater Diversion, pulsing 7,000 cubic feet per second from April to May would influence 115,078 acres. Approximately 11,222 acres of the restoration and protection features would be located in the East Orleans Landbridge/Pearl River area and approximately 9,301 acres of restoration features would be located in the Biloxi Marsh area, which have been determined to be critical landscape features with respect to storm surge. Additionally, the cypress swamp and ridge restoration features include forested habitat demonstrated as having some storm surge damage risk reduction benefits. Three recreation features are proposed under the tentatively selected plan and would be located at Orleans Parish's Bienvenue Triangle, the Violet Freshwater Diversion site in St. Bernard's Parish, and Shell Beach, also in St. Bernard's Parish. Total project construction costs under the tentatively selected plan are estimated at $2.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A comprehensive ecosystem restoration plan would modify the MRGO and restore the areas affected by the navigation channel, restore natural features of the ecosystem that will reduce or prevent damage from storm surge, and prevent the intrusion of saltwater into the waterway. The Violet Freshwater Diversion would mimic natural processes and enhance the sustainability of the system through the input of freshwater, nutrients, and sediment. Anticipated outputs of the tentatively selected plan would help address the current trend of degradation of the Lake Borgne ecosystem, support nationally significant resources, provide a sustainable and diverse array of fish and wildlife habitats, provide infrastructure protection, and make progress towards a more sustainable ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The diversion channel would result in the loss of 284 acres of prime farmland and 245 acres of wetland. Restoration of the Bayou La Loutre Ridge would result in permanent impacts to 48 acres of brackish marsh. Turbidity as a result of dredging and construction would impact oyster leases temporarily. The impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and various emergency actions to address oil spill impacts could impact the restoration project. LEGAL MANDATES: Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 (P.L. 85-624) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114).

The Upper Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Maurepas and its adjacent wetlands and swamps. The Middle Pontchartrain sub-basin is comprised of Lake Pontchartrain, its adjacent cities and towns, and surrounding wetlands. The Lower Pontchartrain sub-basin includes Lake Borgne, the deauthorized MRGO, the Mississippi River, Chandeleur and Breton Sounds, portions of the Gulf of Mexico, and the surrounding wetlands, barrier islands, and communities. In Mississippi, the study area includes the Western Mississippi Sound, its bordering wetlands, and Cat Island. Louisiana parishes in the study area include Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Mississippi counties include portions of Hancock and Harrison. Construction and operation of the MRGO, in combination with other natural and man-made factors, has caused direct, indirect and cumulative land loss, shoreline erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat modification, and impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources throughout the project area. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused shoaling in the MRGO channel and, after Congressional request for a plan, the MRGO was officially de-authorized from the confluence with the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico as a federal navigation channel. A rock closure structure was constructed across the outlet near the Bayou La Loutre Ridge in St. Bernard Parish in 2009. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), are evaluated in this draft EIS. Alternative C, which is the National Ecosystem Restoration Plan and the tentatively selected plan, would restore approximately 58,861 acres of habitat, including 13,950 acres of fresh and intermediate marsh; 33,966 acres of brackish marsh; 10,431 acres of cypress swamp; 466 acres of saline marsh; and 48 acres of ridge habitat. Alternative C includes approximately 70 miles of shoreline protection, and adaptively managed freshwater diversion near Violet, Louisiana. The Violet Freshwater Diversion, pulsing 7,000 cubic feet per second from April to May would influence 115,078 acres. Approximately 11,222 acres of the restoration and protection features would be located in the East Orleans Landbridge/Pearl River area and approximately 9,301 acres of restoration features would be located in the Biloxi Marsh area, which have been determined to be critical landscape features with respect to storm surge. Additionally, the cypress swamp and ridge restoration features include forested habitat demonstrated as having some storm surge damage risk reduction benefits. Three recreation features are proposed under the tentatively selected plan and would be located at Orleans Parish's Bienvenue Triangle, the Violet Freshwater Diversion site in St. Bernard's Parish, and Shell Beach, also in St. Bernard's Parish. Total project construction costs under the tentatively selected plan are estimated at $2.9 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A comprehensive ecosystem restoration plan would modify the MRGO and restore the areas affected by the navigation channel, restore natural features of the ecosystem that will reduce or prevent damage from storm surge, and prevent the intrusion of saltwater into the waterway. The Violet Freshwater Diversion would mimic natural processes and enhance the sustainability of the system through the input of freshwater, nutrients, and sediment. Anticipated outputs of the tentatively selected plan would help address the current trend of degradation of the Lake Borgne ecosystem, support nationally significant resources, provide a sustainable and diverse array of fish and wildlife habitats, provide infrastructure protection, and make progress towards a more sustainable ecosystem. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The diversion channel would result in the loss of 284 acres of prime farmland and 245 acres of wetland. Restoration of the Bayou La Loutre Ridge would result in permanent impacts to 48 acres of brackish marsh. Turbidity as a result of dredging and construction would impact oyster leases temporarily. The impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and various emergency actions to address oil spill impacts could impact the restoration project. LEGAL MANDATES: Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 (P.L. 85-624) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114).

T2  - CONVEY ATCHAFALAYA RIVER WATER TO NORTHERN TERREBONNE MARSHES AND MULTIPURPOSE OPERATION OF HOUMA NAVIGATION LOCK, LOUISIANA COASTAL AREA (LCA), LAFOURCHE, TERREBONNE, ST. MARY PARISH, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 853676427; 14666-100395_0007
AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, and south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final EIS and Integrated Feasibility Study. Alternative 2, which is the recommended plan, would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion. Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in the generation of 3,220 average annual habitat units and a net gain of 9,665 acres of emergent marsh habitat over the 50-year period of analysis. First cost of construction of the recommended plan is estimated to be $284.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the current trend of marsh degradation, so as to contribute towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of Southern Louisiana. The provision of additional freshwater, nutrients, and fine sediment to the area would reduce salinity levels, increase residence time of fresh water, facilitate organic sediment deposition, improve biological productivity, and prevent further deterioration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of project features would result in 148 acres of swamp, 343 acres of fresh marsh, 248 acres of intermediate marsh, and 182 acres of brackish marsh being directly converted to open water. Alternative 2 would also result in 23 acres of swamp being converted to upland levee. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to ecosystem function and how the ecosystem components of interest would respond to the restoration project. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1451) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (Sec. 7006(e)(3)).

AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, and south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final EIS and Integrated Feasibility Study. Alternative 2, which is the recommended plan, would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion. Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in the generation of 3,220 average annual habitat units and a net gain of 9,665 acres of emergent marsh habitat over the 50-year period of analysis. First cost of construction of the recommended plan is estimated to be $284.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the current trend of marsh degradation, so as to contribute towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of Southern Louisiana. The provision of additional freshwater, nutrients, and fine sediment to the area would reduce salinity levels, increase residence time of fresh water, facilitate organic sediment deposition, improve biological productivity, and prevent further deterioration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of project features would result in 148 acres of swamp, 343 acres of fresh marsh, 248 acres of intermediate marsh, and 182 acres of brackish marsh being directly converted to open water. Alternative 2 would also result in 23 acres of swamp being converted to upland levee. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to ecosystem function and how the ecosystem components of interest would respond to the restoration project.

T1  - CONVEY ATCHAFALAYA RIVER WATER TO NORTHERN TERREBONNE MARSHES AND MULTIPURPOSE OPERATION OF HOUMA NAVIGATION LOCK, LOUISIANA COASTAL AREA (LCA), LAFOURCHE, TERREBONNE, ST. MARY PARISH, LOUISIANA. [Part 6 of 8]
T2  - CONVEY ATCHAFALAYA RIVER WATER TO NORTHERN TERREBONNE MARSHES AND MULTIPURPOSE OPERATION OF HOUMA NAVIGATION LOCK, LOUISIANA COASTAL AREA (LCA), LAFOURCHE, TERREBONNE, ST. MARY PARISH, LOUISIANA.

AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, and south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this final EIS and Integrated Feasibility Study. Alternative 2, which is the recommended plan, would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion. Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in the generation of 3,220 average annual habitat units and a net gain of 9,665 acres of emergent marsh habitat over the 50-year period of analysis. First cost of construction of the recommended plan is estimated to be $284.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the current trend of marsh degradation, so as to contribute towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of Southern Louisiana. The provision of additional freshwater, nutrients, and fine sediment to the area would reduce salinity levels, increase residence time of fresh water, facilitate organic sediment deposition, improve biological productivity, and prevent further deterioration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of project features would result in 148 acres of swamp, 343 acres of fresh marsh, 248 acres of intermediate marsh, and 182 acres of brackish marsh being directly converted to open water. Alternative 2 would also result in 23 acres of swamp being converted to upland levee. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to ecosystem function and how the ecosystem components of interest would respond to the restoration project. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1451) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (Sec. 7006(e)(3)).

AN  - 873133710; 14643-1_0012
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 230-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line from just west of Bemidji to Cohasset, northwest of Grand Rapids, Minnesota is proposed. Otter Tail Power Company, Minnesota Power, and Minnkota Power Cooperative have applied for a special use permit to construct and operate the project on National Forest Service lands and have sought permission to cross the proclamation boundaries of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation. Minnkota Power Cooperative has also approached the Rural Utilities Service for financial assistance. Four route alternatives and a No Build Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. All of the action alternatives would add equipment to the Wilton substation near Bemidji and expand the Boswell substation in Cohasset by 1.3 acres. Route Alternative 1 is comprised of 12 segment alternatives and would extend 69 miles and generally follow the Great Lakes Gas Transmission Company pipeline right-of-way (ROW). Under this alternative, a new 4-acre 230-kV substation would be constructed in Pike Bay Township in Cass County and a new breaker station could be constructed near the existing Nary Breaker station. Route Alternative 2, with 11 segment alternatives, would extend for 68 miles and generally follow U.S. Highway 2 and the Enbridge pipeline ROWs. The existing Cass Lake substation would be expanded by 2.2 acres to accommodate new equipment. The Route 3 Alternative would follow existing pipeline, transmission, and road ROWs for 116 miles and would avoid a major gateway of the Chippewa National Forest and bisecting the Leech Lake Reservation. No additional substations or breaker stations would be constructed or expanded. Alternative 4, identified by the applicants during the draft EIS comment period as their preferred route, is a combination of Route Alternatives 1 and 2. The route is approximately 69.5 miles long and follows Route Alternative 1 for 38.1 miles and Route Alternative 2 for 25.7 miles. Estimated total project costs for the four route alternatives are $65.4 million, $60.5 million, $94.1 million, and $63.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation would help meet projected future electric demand, maintain electric transmission reliability standards, and facilitate the addition of new generation sources in the region by increasing the transfer of additional capacity from the North Dakota Export boundary to the Twin Cities metropolitan area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Conversion of 432 to 812 acres of forested area would result in loss of scenic and timber resources. Soils would be disturbed during construction. Wetland conversion would range from 166 acres to 269 acres; and 2.3 to 5.2 miles of new corridors would affect wildlife habitat. Feasible ROWs would displace from zero to 25 residences. Route alternatives 1, 2 and 4 would cross the homeland of a minority community with long-term impacts to traditional cultural property. 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 River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

AN  - 873133703; 14643-1_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 230-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line from just west of Bemidji to Cohasset, northwest of Grand Rapids, Minnesota is proposed. Otter Tail Power Company, Minnesota Power, and Minnkota Power Cooperative have applied for a special use permit to construct and operate the project on National Forest Service lands and have sought permission to cross the proclamation boundaries of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation. Minnkota Power Cooperative has also approached the Rural Utilities Service for financial assistance. Four route alternatives and a No Build Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. All of the action alternatives would add equipment to the Wilton substation near Bemidji and expand the Boswell substation in Cohasset by 1.3 acres. Route Alternative 1 is comprised of 12 segment alternatives and would extend 69 miles and generally follow the Great Lakes Gas Transmission Company pipeline right-of-way (ROW). Under this alternative, a new 4-acre 230-kV substation would be constructed in Pike Bay Township in Cass County and a new breaker station could be constructed near the existing Nary Breaker station. Route Alternative 2, with 11 segment alternatives, would extend for 68 miles and generally follow U.S. Highway 2 and the Enbridge pipeline ROWs. The existing Cass Lake substation would be expanded by 2.2 acres to accommodate new equipment. The Route 3 Alternative would follow existing pipeline, transmission, and road ROWs for 116 miles and would avoid a major gateway of the Chippewa National Forest and bisecting the Leech Lake Reservation. No additional substations or breaker stations would be constructed or expanded. Alternative 4, identified by the applicants during the draft EIS comment period as their preferred route, is a combination of Route Alternatives 1 and 2. The route is approximately 69.5 miles long and follows Route Alternative 1 for 38.1 miles and Route Alternative 2 for 25.7 miles. Estimated total project costs for the four route alternatives are $65.4 million, $60.5 million, $94.1 million, and $63.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation would help meet projected future electric demand, maintain electric transmission reliability standards, and facilitate the addition of new generation sources in the region by increasing the transfer of additional capacity from the North Dakota Export boundary to the Twin Cities metropolitan area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Conversion of 432 to 812 acres of forested area would result in loss of scenic and timber resources. Soils would be disturbed during construction. Wetland conversion would range from 166 acres to 269 acres; and 2.3 to 5.2 miles of new corridors would affect wildlife habitat. Feasible ROWs would displace from zero to 25 residences. Route alternatives 1, 2 and 4 would cross the homeland of a minority community with long-term impacts to traditional cultural property. 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 River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - BEMIDJI - GRAND RAPIDS 230 KV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, BELTRAMI, HUBBARD, CASS, AND ITASCA COUNTIES, MINNESOTA.
AN  - 873131024; 14643-1_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a 230-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line from just west of Bemidji to Cohasset, northwest of Grand Rapids, Minnesota is proposed. Otter Tail Power Company, Minnesota Power, and Minnkota Power Cooperative have applied for a special use permit to construct and operate the project on National Forest Service lands and have sought permission to cross the proclamation boundaries of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation. Minnkota Power Cooperative has also approached the Rural Utilities Service for financial assistance. Four route alternatives and a No Build Alternative are analyzed in this final EIS. All of the action alternatives would add equipment to the Wilton substation near Bemidji and expand the Boswell substation in Cohasset by 1.3 acres. Route Alternative 1 is comprised of 12 segment alternatives and would extend 69 miles and generally follow the Great Lakes Gas Transmission Company pipeline right-of-way (ROW). Under this alternative, a new 4-acre 230-kV substation would be constructed in Pike Bay Township in Cass County and a new breaker station could be constructed near the existing Nary Breaker station. Route Alternative 2, with 11 segment alternatives, would extend for 68 miles and generally follow U.S. Highway 2 and the Enbridge pipeline ROWs. The existing Cass Lake substation would be expanded by 2.2 acres to accommodate new equipment. The Route 3 Alternative would follow existing pipeline, transmission, and road ROWs for 116 miles and would avoid a major gateway of the Chippewa National Forest and bisecting the Leech Lake Reservation. No additional substations or breaker stations would be constructed or expanded. Alternative 4, identified by the applicants during the draft EIS comment period as their preferred route, is a combination of Route Alternatives 1 and 2. The route is approximately 69.5 miles long and follows Route Alternative 1 for 38.1 miles and Route Alternative 2 for 25.7 miles. Estimated total project costs for the four route alternatives are $65.4 million, $60.5 million, $94.1 million, and $63.5 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation would help meet projected future electric demand, maintain electric transmission reliability standards, and facilitate the addition of new generation sources in the region by increasing the transfer of additional capacity from the North Dakota Export boundary to the Twin Cities metropolitan area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Conversion of 432 to 812 acres of forested area would result in loss of scenic and timber resources. Soils would be disturbed during construction. Wetland conversion would range from 166 acres to 269 acres; and 2.3 to 5.2 miles of new corridors would affect wildlife habitat. Feasible ROWs would displace from zero to 25 residences. Route alternatives 1, 2 and 4 would cross the homeland of a minority community with long-term impacts to traditional cultural property. 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 River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

T2  - EXPANSION OF THE EMERGENCY CONSERVATION PROGRAM, FARM SERVICE AGENCY, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2003).
AN  - 816527024; 14448-100256_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) is proposed to protect the nation's watersheds and related agricultural resources. The final programmatic EIS of March 2003 analyzed the impacts on the nation's watershed ecosystems and associated human communities of a comprehensive proposal by the FSA (then, the Natural Resources Conservation Service). The ECP helps remove threats to life and property that remain in the nation's watersheds in the aftermath of natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. The FSA provides technical and financial assistance to local authorities to preserve life and property threatened by erosion and flooding. The threats that the ECP addresses are termed "watershed impairments" and include debris-clogged stream channels, undermined and unstable streambanks, jeopardized water control structures and public infrastructure, and damaged upland sites stripped of protective vegetation by fire or drought. Agricultural producers applying for ECP assistance can receive reimbursement for 75 percent of the cost of activities covered under the approved conservation practices. This final supplement to the final EIS of 2003 proposes that the FSA expand ECP eligibility beyond pastureland, cropland, and hayland to types of farmlands currently outside the scope of the program, including timberland, farmsteads, roads, and feedlots. Expanding the definition of farmland would add approximately 426 million acres to what is currently eligible and would represent a 34 percent increase across the U.S. To implement this new proposal, the FSA would develop a rule meant to clarify current regulations and expand upon them to reflect changes to the policy. In addition to the proposed action, this final supplemental EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: ECP expansion would enable FSA staff to provide assistance to a wider variety of land users when and where it was needed. Program expansion would also address concerns raised with respect to the need for more comprehensive disaster recovery in watershed areas not currently within the Program's purview. Water quality and wildlife habitat in affected watersheds would generally improve. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Allowing repair of impairments to agricultural and other lands using sound engineering alternatives would tend to increase the use of structural practices and may conflict with the FSA goal of promoting the use of easements. Simplifying purchase of agricultural easements would reduce acreage devoted to crops. Restriction on the use of floodplains could result in disruption of some older rural communities. LEGAL MANDATES: Agricultural Credit Act of 1978. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the supplemental draft EIS, see 08-0349D, Volume 32, Number 3. For the abstracts of the draft and final EISs, see 00-0150D, Volume 24, Number 1 and 03-0356F, Volume 27, Number 3, respectively.

AN  - 873132271; 14443-1_0032
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AN  - 873132225; 14443-1_0013
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet.

AN  - 873131372; 14443-1_0052
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AN  - 873131087; 14443-1_0037
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat.

AN  - 873130992; 14443-1_0041
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AN  - 873130898; 14443-1_0011
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet.

AN  - 873129175; 14443-1_0022
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material sites.

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AN  - 873128308; 14443-1_0006
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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).

AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor.

T1  - INTERSTATE 69, SECTION OF INDEPENDENT UTILITY 11, FROM BENOIT TO ROBINSONVILLE, BOLIVAR, COAHOMA, TUNICA, AND SUNFLOWER COUNTIES, MISSISSIPPI (NCPD-1069-00(001)).
AN  - 754908486; 14443
AB  - PURPOSE: The construction of a multi-lane interstate highway extending 120 miles, designated Section of Independent Utility (SIU) 11 of Interstate 69 (I-69), from Benoit to Robinsonville in Bolivar, Coahoma, Tunica, and Sunflower counties, Mississippi is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest-northeast direction from State Route (SR) 1 near Benoit to SR 304 near Robinsonville. The I-69 corridor has been defined by the U.S. Congress to commence in Port Huron, Michigan and terminate in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, a distance of over 1,600 miles. Since the study of SIU 11 began, other portions of I-69 to the north and south of the project have been undergoing work ranging from planning to construction. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, a transportation system management alternative, and alternatives involving other modes of transport, this final EIS addresses three build alternatives. The modified Central Alternative, which is the preferred alternative, would use as much of the existing US 61 as possible. Construction of the proposed I-69 SIU 11 is envisioned to be phased over the next 19 years and the project was determined to consist of five distinct and operationally independent phases. Estimated construction cost of the project is $1.25 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interstate highway would enhance regional and local transportation, facilitate economic development in the lower Mississippi River delta region, facilitate connections to intermodal facilities and major ports along the corridor, reduce accident risk, upgrade existing facilities to be utilized as portions of I-69, and connect urban areas along the I-69 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 8,193 acres of farmlands, 54 residences, five businesses, 106 acres of wetlands, 1,682 acres of floodplain, and 175 acres of vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat. The purchase of 17 conservation easements would be necessary. Up to 12,945 linear feet of channel along 32 streams would require relocation, as would nine transmission lines extending a total of 3,210 feet and 25 gas pipelines extending a total of 95,225 feet. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity five sensitive receptor sites. The project could possibly affect nine archaeological sites. Construction workers would encounter three hazardous material 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  - Corn and Soybean Farmers: Apply For Energy Audits to Help Reduce Energy Usage
AN  - 519401671
AB  - The farm bill allows agricultural producers or rural small business to recover up to three-quarters of the cost of an energy audit. Audit funds are not provided directly to an eligible producer but are allocated instead to an intermediary. The intermediary provides funds to the audit recipient. Eligible intermediaries for energy audit grants include state, tribal, or local government entities; land-grant colleges and universities and other institutions of higher education, including 1994 Land Grant Colleges (Tribal Colleges), 1890 Land Grant Colleges and Historically Black Universities; rural electric cooperatives; and public power entities.

AN  - 873131213; 14386-5_0003
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment and administration of the Project Areas Program component of the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) is proposed. BCAP is a new program that supports the establishment and production of biomass crops for conversion to bio-energy and provides monetary assistance with collection, harvest, storage, and transportation (CHST) of eligible materials for use in a biomass conversion facility (BCF) within a BCAP project area. In 2007, biomass production in the United States contributed 3.6 quadrillion British thermal units of energy or about 5 percent of total energy production and about 3.5 percent of total energy consumption. The biomass resource base is composed of a wide variety of forestry and agricultural resources, industrial processing residues, and municipal solid and urban wood residues. To sustain the development of an economically viable cellulosic bioenergy industry, the BCAP focuses on the establishment of dedicated energy crops including short rotation woody crops and other tree/shrub species, perennial grasses, and oilseeds. Biomass derived from forestlands that can be sustainably produced is estimated at 368 million dry tons annually from logging residues and fuel treatment thinnings. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final programmatic EIS. Under Alternative 1, BCAP would be implemented on a targeted basis with areas authorized for those projects that support only large, new commercial BCFs limited to producing energy. No new agricultural lands would be allowed to enroll in the program for BCAP crop production and the number of acres enrolled in BCAP project areas would be limited to no more than 25 percent of the cropland in a given county. Payment rates would be limited to an amount sufficient to provide some risk mitigation. Under Alternative 2, a broader implementation approach would enable anyone who meets basic eligibility requirements to participate in a BCAP project area. Existing BCFs and crops would be supported, including small and pilot BCFs, and all bio-based products derived from eligible materials would qualify under this alternative. New non-agricultural lands would be allowed to enroll in the program for BCAP crop production, and the number of cropland acres allowed to enroll in the program would not be capped. Payments would be sufficient to completely replace the potential income from non-BCAP crop production. The contract duration under BCAP is 5 years for annual and perennial crops and 15 years for woody biomass. Location analysis under Alternative 1 yielded estimates for costs of land conversion per BCF in the range of $1.5 million to $5 million and total economic impact per BCF between $19 million and $28 million. Under Alternative 2, the total cost of establishing dedicated crops is estimated to be $11 billion and the CHST component of BCAP is expected to create an estimated 280,000 jobs, while the costs associated with land use changes could bring a decline of $3.2 billion and a loss of 41,000 jobs. Total economic impact from implementation of Alternative 2 is estimated to be $88.5 billion and the creation of 700,000 jobs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transition from traditional crops to perennial vegetation under both action alternatives would result in a reduction in soil erosion. Under Alternative 2, the shifting of tillage practices on an estimated 11 million acres would conserve 40 million tons of soil each year over the No Action Alternative. The overall reduction in nutrients and agricultural chemicals, erosion, total suspended solids, and sedimentation would improve water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the broad scope of Alternative 2, the loss of forestland and native grasslands would decrease habitat quality for several wildlife species. Conversion from traditional crops would result in negative economic impacts to local communities as inputs would not be purchased. Under Alternative 1, land use changes would create negative impacts within a region ranging from $2.5 million to $10 million depending on location. LEGAL MANDATES: Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 09-0300D, Volume 33, Number 3.

To sustain the development of an economically viable cellulosic bioenergy industry, the BCAP focuses on the establishment of dedicated energy crops including short rotation woody crops and other tree/shrub species, perennial grasses, and oilseeds. Biomass derived from forestlands that can be sustainably produced is estimated at 368 million dry tons annually from logging residues and fuel treatment thinnings. Two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are analyzed in this final programmatic EIS. Under Alternative 1, BCAP would be implemented on a targeted basis with areas authorized for those projects that support only large, new commercial BCFs limited to producing energy. No new agricultural lands would be allowed to enroll in the program for BCAP crop production and the number of acres enrolled in BCAP project areas would be limited to no more than 25 percent of the cropland in a given county. Payment rates would be limited to an amount sufficient to provide some risk mitigation. Under Alternative 2, a broader implementation approach would enable anyone who meets basic eligibility requirements to participate in a BCAP project area. Existing BCFs and crops would be supported, including small and pilot BCFs, and all bio-based products derived from eligible materials would qualify under this alternative. New non-agricultural lands would be allowed to enroll in the program for BCAP crop production, and the number of cropland acres allowed to enroll in the program would not be capped. Payments would be sufficient to completely replace the potential income from non-BCAP crop production. The contract duration under BCAP is 5 years for annual and perennial crops and 15 years for woody biomass. Location analysis under Alternative 1 yielded estimates for costs of land conversion per BCF in the range of $1.5 million to $5 million and total economic impact per BCF between $19 million and $28 million. Under Alternative 2, the total cost of establishing dedicated crops is estimated to be $11 billion and the CHST component of BCAP is expected to create an estimated 280,000 jobs, while the costs associated with land use changes could bring a decline of $3.2 billion and a loss of 41,000 jobs. Total economic impact from implementation of Alternative 2 is estimated to be $88.5 billion and the creation of 700,000 jobs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transition from traditional crops to perennial vegetation under both action alternatives would result in a reduction in soil erosion. Under Alternative 2, the shifting of tillage practices on an estimated 11 million acres would conserve 40 million tons of soil each year over the No Action Alternative. The overall reduction in nutrients and agricultural chemicals, erosion, total suspended solids, and sedimentation would improve water quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the broad scope of Alternative 2, the loss of forestland and native grasslands would decrease habitat quality for several wildlife species. Conversion from traditional crops would result in negative economic impacts to local communities as inputs would not be purchased. Under Alternative 1, land use changes would create negative impacts within a region ranging from $2.5 million to $10 million depending on location. LEGAL MANDATES: Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft EIS, see 09-0300D, Volume 33, Number 3.

AN  - 873129022; 14386-5_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: The establishment and administration of the Project Areas Program component of the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) is proposed. BCAP is a new program that supports the establishment and production of biomass crops for conversion to bio-energy and provides monetary assistance with collection, harvest, storage, and transportation (CHST) of eligible materials for use in a biomass conversion facility (BCF) within a BCAP project area. In 2007, biomass production in the United States contributed 3.6 quadrillion British thermal units of energy or about 5 percent of total energy production and about 3.5 percent of total energy consumption.

AB  - Global wheat supplies for 2010-2011 are projected 4.1 million tons lower this month with reduced carry-in and production. Lower beginning stocks mostly reflect reductions for EU-27, the U.S. and Brazil as 2009-2010 exports are raised for all three. Global production for 2010-2011 is lowered 3.7 million tons with reductions for EU-27, Syria, Turkey and Russia. EU-27 production is lowered 2.1 million tons reflecting crop damage from recent flooding and heavy rains in Eastern Europe and April and May dryness in northwest France and the United Kingdom.

T1  - CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2003). [Part 1 of 2]
T2  - CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 2003).
AN  - 873132990; 14362-0_0001
AB  - PURPOSE: Changes to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are proposed. The CRP is a voluntary program for agricultural landowners who receive annual rental payments and cost-share assistance from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to establish long-term, resource-conserving covers on eligible farmland. The CCC administers the CRP through the Farm Service Agency with program support provided by a number of technical service providers. Participants in the CRP enroll in CRP contracts for 10 to 15 years. The CRP is the federal government's single largest environmental improvement program. Through voluntary partnerships between individuals and the government, CRP provides incentives and assistance to farmers and ranchers for establishing valuable conservation practices that have beneficial effects on resources both on and off the farm. CRP encourages farmers to plant permanent covers of grass and trees on land that is subject to erosion to prevent erosion, improve water quality, provide food and habitat for wildlife, and protect ground and surface water quality by reducing water runoff and sedimentation. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 reauthorizes the CRP through September 30, 2012 and stipulates a number of changes to the program. This final supplemental EIS, which tiers from the final programmatic EIS of January 2003, analyzes two action alternatives and a No Action alternative, which would continue the current program, for each of nine provisions of the proposed program changes. The majority of scoping comments were in support of CRP and maintaining the level of total allowable acres within the program. The proposed changes include creation of new conservation incentives, acreage changes under general and continuous signup, inclusion of alfalfa grown in rotation as a commodity crop, contract management requirements, new managed harvest and routine grazing provisions, including grazing for invasive vegetation species, rental payment rates, incentives for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and providing benefits to pollinator species. The installation of wind turbines, windmills, or other wind-powered generation equipment would be allowed on CRP acreage as authorized on a case-by-case basis. Total enrollment authority would remain at 39.2 million acres through 2009 and would be reduced to 32 million acres for fiscal years 2010 through 2012. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program modifications, including a new pollinator habitat conservation practice, and initiatives targeted at water resource protection, highly erodible land, and regional restoration of critical wildlife habitat would help preserve and protect soils, forested areas, other vegetated areas, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Under the action alternatives, prescribed grazing for the control of invasive species would generate substantial benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Permitting haying and grazing in response to drought or other emergency situations could adversely affect riparian areas and wetlands. Implementation of targeted initiatives would not include a monetary cap and required offsets could reduce other program services. LEGAL MANDATES: Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. PRIOR REFERENCES: For the abstract of the draft supplemental EIS, see 10-0061D, Volume 34, Number 1. For the abstract of the draft and final programmatic EISs, see 03-0036D, Volume 27, Number 1 and 03-0179F, Volume 27, Number 2, respectively.

Total enrollment authority would remain at 39.2 million acres through 2009 and would be reduced to 32 million acres for fiscal years 2010 through 2012. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Program modifications, including a new pollinator habitat conservation practice, and initiatives targeted at water resource protection, highly erodible land, and regional restoration of critical wildlife habitat would help preserve and protect soils, forested areas, other vegetated areas, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Under the action alternatives, prescribed grazing for the control of invasive species would generate substantial benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Permitting haying and grazing in response to drought or other emergency situations could adversely affect riparian areas and wetlands. Implementation of targeted initiatives would not include a monetary cap and required offsets could reduce other program services. LEGAL MANDATES: Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008.

T1  - USDA Issues Final Rule for Conservation Stewardship Program
AN  - 365426704
AB  - "Voluntary conservation practices by private landowners and producers are an essential part of our effort to improve soil and water quality," says [Tom Vilsack]. "Broad and diverse participation in the CSP program will provide producers with many benefits such as enhancing wildlife habitat and helping to mitigate the impact of climate change."  
- Pastured cropland. "Pastured cropland" is added as a new designation with a higher payment than "pastureland" because of the greater income foregone by producers who maintain a grass-based livestock production system on land suitable for cropping.  
Potential applicants are encouraged to use the CSP self-screening checklist to determine whether CSP is suitable for their operation and apply prior to the closing date of June 25, 2010, when applications will be scored, ranked and funded. The checklist, which highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, contract obligations, and payments, and additional information about CSP, may be obtained from the national CSP website (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/new_csp/csp.html) or individual state NRCS offices (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/about/organization/regions.html).

T1  - Selecting Policy Indicators and Developing Simulation Models for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Final Report. Special Nutrition Programs Report Series. Special Nutrition Programs Report No. CN-10-PRED
AN  - 754911876; ED511096
AB  - This report describes work using nationally representative 2005 data from the School Nutrition Dietary Assessment-III (SNDA-III) study to develop a simulation model to predict the potential implications of changes in policies or practices related to school meals and school food environments. The model focuses on three domains of outcomes: (1) the nutritional quality of reimbursable meals as served to (or selected by) students in the NSLP (National School Lunch Program) and SBP (School Breakfast Program), (2) the nutritional quality of the breakfasts and lunches consumed by children who participate in these programs, and (3) student participation rates. The model was intended to assist FNS (Food and Nutrition Service) in assessing the effects of the IOM (Institute of Medicine) panel's recommendations and other possible changes in school meals and the school food environment. The report is organized as follows: Chapter I presents the introduction and the conceptual framework for the study; Chapter II briefly describes the SNDA-III data and discusses the issue of linking SNDA-III data to cost data; Chapters III and IV describe the development of policy/practice indicators that were used to simulate changes targeted at specific food and nutrient outcomes; Chapter V describes the development and estimation of predictive models for each of the three outcome domains; Chapter VI describes how the results of these predictive models were combined into a single simulation model that enables users to examine the consequences of alternative program policies or practices for the characteristics of meals served and consumed, and program participation; Chapter VII discusses the specification and simulation of three specific policy reforms and presents the simulation results; Chapter VIII describes a number of sensitivity analyses designed to test the robustness of the overall models and simulation results, and presents results from these analyses; and Chapter IX summarizes the report and discusses avenues for future research. Appendices include: (1) Details and Results of Exploratory Analyses to Select Policy and Practice Variables; (2) Regression Results for Baseline Models and Sensitivity Analyses; (3) Simulation Results; and (4) Sensitivity Analyses: Simulation Results. A glossary is included. Individual chapters contain footnotes. (Contains 70 tables and 1 figure.) [This report was submitted to the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service, Office of Research and Analysis.]

T1  - DEER CREEK STATION ENERGY FACILITY PROJECT, BROOKINGS COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. [Part 2 of 2]
T2  - DEER CREEK STATION ENERGY FACILITY PROJECT, BROOKINGS COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA.
AN  - 756827467; 14351-100200_0002
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of the Deer Creek Station Energy Facility Project, a 300-megawatt (MW), combined-cycle, natural gas generation facility, water pipeline, transmission lines, transmission interconnections, and other associated facilities, near White, South Dakota is proposed. In response to requests from the applicant (Basin Electric Power Cooperative), Western Area Power Administration (Western) proposes to provide interconnection services at its White substation and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) proposes to provide financial assistance. Key issues identified during scoping include potential impacts to cultural resources and to water resources. A No Action Alternative and two alternative sites convenient to a natural gas supply pipeline and to Western's transmission line are evaluated in this final EIS. The White Site 1 Alternative, which is the applicant's preferred site, would involve construction of a 13.2-mile natural gas pipeline, a 0.75-mile transmission line, two water wells, and a 1.25-mile water supply line six miles southeast of White on 484th Avenue between U.S. 14 and state route (SR) 30. One mile of local roads would be improved to accommodate construction traffic. At White Site 2, a 10-mile natural gas pipeline, a one-mile rural water pipeline extension, a one-half mile transmission line, and an on-site substation would be constructed four miles northeast of White. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation of the proposed project would help serve increased load demand for electric power in the eastern portion of Basin Electric's service area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 100 acres of agricultural land would be within the proposed project fence; at White Site 1, 40 acres would be converted to utility uses and 60 acres would be available for hay or pasture. At White Site 2 an additional six acres would be permanently converted. Cooling water supply wells for White Site 1 would be constructed in the floodplain of Deer Creek and the natural gas pipeline would temporarily impact two small areas of native prairie and several areas of wetlands with potential impact to Dakota skipper habitat. Implementation at White Site 2 would result in a project highly visible from SR 30. Implementation at both sites would involve some use of hazardous chemicals. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Power Act of 1920 (16 U.S.C. 791(a) et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.).

T1  - Farm Labor Report: Hired Workers Up 10%, Wages Down Fractionally
AN  - 324664341
AB  - The largest decreases in the number of hired workers from last year occurred in the Southern Plains (Oklahoma and Texas), Southeast (Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina) and Mountain III (Arizona and New Mexico) regions. In the Southern Plains region, heavy rains and flooding occurred in parts of Texas, halting most field activities and lowering the demand for hired workers. Insufficient soil moisture in the Southeast region kept field preparation and planting of spring crops behind normal. This reduced the need for hired workers. In the Mountain III region, vegetable harvest was winding down. Therefore, fewer hired workers were required.

T2  - CONVEY ATCHAFALAYA RIVER WATER TO NORTHERN TERREBONNE MARSHES AND MULTIPURPOSE OPERATION OF HOUMA NAVIGATION LOCK, LOUISIANA COASTAL AREA (LCA), LAFOURCHE, TERREBONNE, ST. MARY PARISH, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 756827471; 14331-100180_0008
AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Alternative 2, which is also the tentatively selected plan (TSP), would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion. Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in the generation of 3,220 average annual habitat units and a net gain of 9,665 acres of emergent marsh habitat over the 50-year period of analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the current trend of degradation of the Terrebonne Marshes, so as to contribute towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of Southern Louisiana. Specifically, the provision of additional freshwater, nutrients, and fine sediment to the area would reduce salinity levels, increase residence time of fresh water, facilitate organic sediment deposition, improve biological productivity, and prevent further deterioration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of project features would result in 148 acres of swamp, 343 acres of fresh marsh, 248 acres of intermediate marsh, and 182 acres of brackish marsh being directly converted to open water. Alternative 2 would also result in 23 acres of swamp being converted to upland (levee).

AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Alternative 2, which is also the tentatively selected plan (TSP), would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion.

T2  - MEDIUM DIVERSION AT WHITE DITCH, LOUISIANA COASTAL AREA (LCA), PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOUISIANA.
AN  - 756827460; 14329-100178_0004
AB  - PURPOSE: Construction of a medium-sized freshwater hydraulic diversion project from the Mississippi River into the area between the Mississippi River and the River aux Chenes at White Ditch, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana is proposed. The project is one of six elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The LCA Medium Diversion at White Ditch study area is located near Phoenix, Louisiana which is 23 miles south-southeast of New Orleans along the Mississippi River and includes the Breton Sound area. There are over 98,000 acres of intermediate to brackish intertidal wetland habitats in the study area. Subsidence, erosion, channelization, saltwater intrusion, storm damage and the absence of fresh water, sediments and nutrients from the Mississippi River have all caused significant adverse impacts to the White Ditch project area resulting in extensive wetland loss and ecosystem degradation. There is an existing siphon at the mouth of White Ditch that was built in 1963 and has not been in operation since 1991, except for two brief episodes. Hydrologic flow in the area was originally down the River aux Chenes (Oak River), small bayous, and as sheet flow across the marsh towards the Gulf of Mexico. A No Action Alternative and four action alternatives are analyzed in this draft EIS. Under Alternative 4, which is the tentatively selected plan (TSP), a 35,000-cubic foot per second (cfs) diversion would consist of ten 15-foot by 15-foot box culverts with hydraulic operated sluice gates that would be placed in the Mississippi River levee. An outflow channel about 7,200 feet long, 545 feet wide and 16 feet deep would be dredged to carry the flow. In addition about 8,600 feet of Bayou Garelle would be deepened to allow passage of the diverted waters. All material removed from these channels would be used beneficially. Some would be placed immediately adjacent to the outfall canal and Bayou Garelle to guide the water and to create 31 acres of ridge habitat. The rest would be placed in open water and marsh adjacent to the channels to nourish or create 385 acres of marsh. The marsh nourishment/creation areas would be surrounded by containment berms built with material from within the areas. Rip-rap would be placed along the outfall channel in key places for stabilization. Rip-rap plugs would be placed in six major canals leading to River aux Chenes to prevent diverted sediment from leaving the project area. The material that is removed would be placed adjacent to the channel to nourish or create marsh. The total estimated cost of the TSP is $387.6 million. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 would involve construction of structures capable of diverting 5,000 cfs, 10,000 cfs, and 15,000 cfs, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Implementation would provide a source of river sediment, freshwater, and nutrients to the River aux Chenes sub-basin and other nearby portions of the upper Breton Sound Basin, and would help to restore and protect marsh soils and vegetation and maintain a functional salinity regime. The diversion of fresh water, sediments and nutrients would nourish 41,206 acres of wetlands and have a net value of 13,355 average annual habitat units. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the TSP, construction of the diversion would impact 277 acres of intermediate marsh, 363 acres of shallow open water, and five acres of bottomland hardwoods. Channel excavation would impact 233 acres of intermediate marsh and shallow open water. The conveyance channel and the marsh creation/restoration features would affect 11 of the 13 landowners within the right-of-way needs for the project. Construction of the project would also require the temporary relocation of State Highway 39 and a powerline adjacent to the highway. LEGAL MANDATES: Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1451) and Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-114).

AB  - PURPOSE: Restoration projects to increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central and eastern Terrebonne marshes via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW), Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana are proposed. The Convey Atchafalaya River Water to Northern Terrebonne Marshes (ARTM) / Multipurpose Operation of the Houma Navigation Lock (MOHNL) study area is located east of Morgan City, south of Houma, south of LaRose. These two projects are elements of a Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) feasibility study to identify cost-effective, near-term restoration features addressing the most critical needs of coastal Louisiana. The projects were determined to be hydrologically intertwined and were consequently combined for analysis. The study area is located at the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, encompasses approximately 700,000 acres, and contains a complex of habitat types, including natural levees, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bayous formed from sediments of abandoned Mississippi River deltas. The hydrology of the area has been altered by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, the GIWW, the Atchafalaya River, Bayou Chene, Bayou Boeuf, Black Navigation Channel, Houma Navigation Canal, and Houma area levees and pump systems, drainage canals, and access canals. The natural processes of subsidence, habitat switching, and erosion, combined with human activities, have caused significant adverse impacts to the Northern Terrebonne marshes, including accelerated wetland loss and ecosystem degradation which will continue unless preventative measures are taken. Eight alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are analyzed in this draft EIS. Alternative 2, which is also the tentatively selected plan (TSP), would consist of 57 features that would increase existing Atchafalaya River influence to central (Lake Boudreaux) and eastern (Grand Bayou) Terrebonne marshes via the GIWW by introducing flow into the Lake Boudreaux and Grand Bayou Basins. This would be accomplished by creating connecting channels to these basins. Gated control structures would be installed to restrict channel cross-sections to prevent increased saltwater intrusion during the late summer and fall when Atchafalaya River influence is typically low. Some auxiliary freshwater distribution structures such as culverts would be included. This project would also include increasing freshwater supply through enlarging constrictions in the GIWW. Dredging of certain canals would allow further freshwater circulation, and the dredged material would be placed in adjacent marshes in an effort to decrease marsh fragmentation. The placement of material in strategic locations to construct ridges, creating a terracing effect, would serve to slow freshwater movement and help prevent saltwater intrusion. Implementation of Alternative 2 would result in the generation of 3,220 average annual habitat units and a net gain of 9,665 acres of emergent marsh habitat over the 50-year period of analysis. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would help to reverse the current trend of degradation of the Terrebonne Marshes, so as to contribute towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of Southern Louisiana. Specifically, the provision of additional freshwater, nutrients, and fine sediment to the area would reduce salinity levels, increase residence time of fresh water, facilitate organic sediment deposition, improve biological productivity, and prevent further deterioration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction of project features would result in 148 acres of swamp, 343 acres of fresh marsh, 248 acres of intermediate marsh, and 182 acres of brackish marsh being directly converted to open water. Alternative 2 would also result in 23 acres of swamp being converted to upland (levee).
