TY - RPRT T1 - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP. [Part 9 of 10] T2 - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP. AN - 868224367; 13109-7_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area.

The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in the immediate area.

AN - 868224361; 13109-7_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the United States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives.

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

Preparation date: August 2, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. [Part 1 of 1] T2 - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 756824455; 12880-070337_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this final EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, wave action along the shoreline of the reservoir would continue to cause bank erosion and downstream releases would cause some scour and bank erosion as well. The impoundment would continue to displace natural stream habitat. [LEG]Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

CP06-470-000, CP06-471-000, CP06-472-000, CP06-473-000, CP06-474-000). AN - 756824429; 12885-070342_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of an existing liquefied national gas (LNG) import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia and the construction of an associated pipeline network in Georgia and South Carolina are proposed by Southern LNG Inc. and Elba Express Company, LLC, both of which are subsidiaries of Southern Natural Gas Company. Southern LNG plans to construct and operate the expansion of its import terminal. The proposed expansion would more than double the terminal's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters of new storage, substantially increasing the facility's vaporization capacity, upgrading the terminal's send-out meter station to increase natural gas send-out capacity of the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), and modifying the terminals LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the proposed facilities would be located entirely within the applicant's 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The terminal expansion would be implemented in two phases. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include: one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank, with an associated boil-of gas condenser and three boil-off gas compressors; three submerged combustion vaporizers, each having a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility; and modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The latter modifications to the docks would include the addition of four mooring dolphins, dredging of 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip, and installation of a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip. Phase B construction, which would be completed in 2012, would provide one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank and three submerged combustion vaporizers , each with a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing an incremental peak send-out capacity of 2,115 MMcfd for the full facility at the completion of Phase B. To take advantage of the expanded terminal capacity, Elba Express would construct and operate 187 miles of new natural gas pipeline and appurtenant facilities in Georgia and South Carolina. The pipeline would be constructed in two phases, extending between an interconnection with Southern LNG near Port Wentworth, Georgia and an interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in Anderson County, South Carolina. The first phase, to be placed in service no later than July 201, providing a design capacity of 945 MMcfd, would consist of 104.8 miles of42-inch pipeline extending from Port Wentworth to the existing SNG Wrens Compressor Station in Jefferson County, Georgia and 72.3 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from Wrens to interconnections with Transco in Hart County, Georgia and Anderson County, South Carolina. The second phase would also involve construction of operation of a new 10,000-horsepower compressor station near Mille, Georgia, where Southern LNG currently operates other aboveground facilities. The compressor station would increase the pipeline design capacity by 230 MMcfd to a total of 1,175 MMcfd; the new facilities would be placed in service in January 2013. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this final EIS evaluated alternatives, including alternative energy sources, systems alternatives, alternative sites for the LNG import terminal, alternative designs, and pipeline alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing terminal and pipeline delivery capacities of cooperating companies, the project would increase the volume of and efficiency by which LNG can be imported, gasified, and delivered to markets along the East Coast and throughout the South. Construction job rolls would be substantial, and operations job rolls would not be insignificant. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Since the expansion of the terminal facilities would take place entirely within the existing terminal site, impacts would be limited to destruction of benthos and degradation of water quality due to sediment releases during dredging and disposal operations, slight alteration of port hydraulics and hydrology, and temporary disturbance of a total or 213 acres in and around the terminal site. The pipeline would traverse 72 miles of prime farmland and 80 miles of soil characterized by inherent limitations for restoration, five major aquifer systems, 161 perennial streams, 180 intermittent streams, and five major rivers. The pipeline project would affect 941 acres of upland forest, 562 acres of planted pine plantation, 735 acres of open land, and two managed wildlife areas protecting sensitive species. Pipeline construction activities would disturb 237 acres of wetlands, including 106 acres of forested wetlands, and 48 acres of wetland would remain permanently disturbed. The overall project could affect numerous federally protected species or candidate species. A total of 69 private water wells would lie within 150 feet of the terminal or the pipeline, and one water intake would lie within three miles downstream of a waterbody crossing along the pipeline. A total of 295 cultural resource sites have been located within the pipeline rights-of-way. Approximately 171 miles of pipeline would lie with area in which a pipeline leak or explosion could result in an immediate public health emergency. The pipeline would mar visual aesthetics in areas near aboveground facilities.

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

AN - 756824412; 12885-070342_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of an existing liquefied national gas (LNG) import terminal on Elba Island near Savannah in Chatham County, Georgia and the construction of an associated pipeline network in Georgia and South Carolina are proposed by Southern LNG Inc. and Elba Express Company, LLC, both of which are subsidiaries of Southern Natural Gas Company. Southern LNG plans to construct and operate the expansion of its import terminal. The proposed expansion would more than double the terminal's LNG storage capacity by adding 405,000 cubic meters of new storage, substantially increasing the facility's vaporization capacity, upgrading the terminal's send-out meter station to increase natural gas send-out capacity of the facility by an additional 900 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), and modifying the terminals LNG tanker berthing and unloading facilities to accommodate larger tankers and provide simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. All of the proposed facilities would be located entirely within the applicant's 190-acre facility site on Elba Island. The terminal expansion would be implemented in two phases. Phase A would be completed as early as January 2010 and would include: one new 1.25-million-barrel storage tank, with an associated boil-of gas condenser and three boil-off gas compressors; three submerged combustion vaporizers, each having a peak capacity of 180 MMcfd, providing a total peak send-out capacity of 1,755 MMcfd for the full facility; and modifications to the unloading docks to accommodate new, larger LNG tankers and to allow simultaneous unloading of two LNG tankers. The latter modifications to the docks would include the addition of four mooring dolphins, dredging of 72,000 cubic yards of material from the slope at the back of the existing slip, and installation of a sheet pile bulkhead at the back of the slip.

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

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

Preparation date: August 2, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KEYSTONE OIL PIPELINE PROJECT, APPLICANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL PERMIT: TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE PIPELINE, LP. AN - 36340727; 12886 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a crude oil pipeline and related facilities is proposed to transport Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) crude oil from an oil supply hub near Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to destinations in the Midwest United States. The pipeline system would pass through portions of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The system would respond to national demand for crude oil, particularly in the Midwest and Gulf States. The Keystone Project, proposed by TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, would consist of a mainline project, consisting of 1,845 miles of pipeline, including 767 miles in Canada and 1,078 miles in the United States, and the Cushing Extension, consisting of 293.5 miles of pipeline in the Untied States. Within the United States, the mainline project would consist of a 1,023-mile segment of 30-inch pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Wood River, Illinois and a 56-mile segment of 24-inch pipeline extending from Wood River, Illinois to Patoka, Illinois. Initially, the Keystone Project would provide for a nominal transport capacity of 435,000 barrels peer day (bpd) of crude oil from the Hardisty supply hub to an existing terminal and refinery at Wood River, and an existing terminal at Illinois. Additional pumping capacity could be added to increase the average throughput to 591,000 bpd if warranted by future shipper demand and market conditions. The mainline route would cross the Canadian border at Pembina County, North Dakota, follow a southerly track through North and South Dakota and Nebraska, and turn east at Steel City on the Nebraska/Kansas border to pass through the northeast corner of Kansas and cross Missouri to the terminals at Wood River and Patoka. The Cushing Extension would proceed south from Steel City through Kansas to Ponca City and Cushing, Oklahoma. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, major route alternatives, an Iowa route alternative, an alternative representing the shortest feasible route between the Canadian border and the Illinois destinations, variations within the ambit of the proposed route, and aboveground facility alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would respond to shipper interest in providing crude oil transportation to the storage terminals and pipeline interconnections in Cushing, Oklahoma as well as to Wood River and Patoka. As a result, the project would increase WCSB heavy crude oil supply to respond to the uncertain availability of oil from world supplies. The propose pipeline route follows the shortest route possible between the Canada border and Cushing. In addition, the route would provide collocation opportunities along the existing Platte pipeline. Local and regional socioeconomic benefits redounding from the project would be substantial. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 17,000 acres of farmland and rangeland within the rights-of-way would be taken out of production during the 18-month construction period. The pipeline would traverse numerous near-surface aquifers and surface waterbodies, including major rivers and streams and wetlands; a segment of the Missouri designated as a National Recreational River would be traversed. The project would affect 653 acres of emergent wetlands, 148 acres of forested wetlands, 54 acres of permanent riverine wetlands, 59 acres of intermittent riverine wetlands, and 33 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. While emergent wetlands would regenerate quickly after disturbance (three to five years), forested and scrub-shrub wetlands would experience long-term effects. Upland forest and shrub habitat would also b e displaced. The wildlife and fish habitat associated with damaged waterbodies, wetlands, and uplands would be degraded, and habitat fragmentation would affect white-tailed deer and other large mammals. Small game birds and rodents would be *affected through destruction of nests and burrows, death of young, loss of eggs, and loss of foraging areas and cover. Preliminary surveys identified 55 federally protected or state-listed sensitive wildlife and plant species along the pipeline routes. Animal species include birds, fish, mollusks, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Recreational, commercial, and residential land uses would also be affected. Cultural resources identified within the corridor include both historic and archaeologic sites as well as historically significant trails, railroads, and cemeteries. Oil spills of more than five barrels could do significant damage to soil and water resources in thee immediate area.

Visible morphological anomalies were observed in 9.1% of 176 pallid (Scaphirhynchus albus) and 4.6% of 4904 shovelnose (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) sturgeon specimens captured in the Middle (mouth of Missouri River to mouth of Ohio River) and Lower (below mouth of Ohio River) Mississippi River from 1997 to 2004. Frequencies among the types of anomalies differed between the lower and middle river reaches. In the lower river, deformities from foreign objects (typically rubber bands) comprised almost one-third of anomalies observed and may have contributed to other types of anterior injury which, if combined, would comprise the majority of lower river anomalies. In the middle river, nearly half of the observed anomalies involved damage to the caudal peduncle, usually a missing tail. Power regressions from length-weight relationships were compared for anomalous and non-anomalous specimens and demonstrated no significant disparity, verifying the resiliency of river sturgeons.

The suspended sediment volume per unit horizontal area is estimated using the computed energy dissipation rates due to wave breaking and bottom friction. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is estimated as the product of the longshore current and suspended sediment volume. The developed model is compared with limited field and laboratory data. The calibrated model is in fair agreement with the data. The longshore suspended sediment transport rate is shown to be approximately proportional to the square of the longshore current. The developed model appears promising but will need to be evaluated using extensive data sets.

As part of the evaluation, a relative risk comparison was made of the six materials to other materials that have been used historically to control dusts (i.e., diesel, crude oil, fuel oil). Data for this evaluation were obtained primarily through literature review, communication with the manufacturers of the products, and through some limited analytical chemistry. Data gaps and uncertainties were also identified and described. Conclusions were derived from the results of the evaluation, with each stabilizer group presented separately along with general conclusions applicable to all stabilizers studied.

Advantages of the SDSS approach include relatively rapid identification and assessment of a large number of restoration sites across a wide area. Potential sites can also be evaluated and restored in a watershed or landscape context, maximizing the benefits of wetland restoration. JF - Technical Reports.

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

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

As a result of this testing and training, many explosives and their degradation products persist in the environment. Ecosystem management by military installations can be met only by providing the tools necessary to actively manage watersheds. Water quality and related aquatic ecosystems are major end-points and are insufficiently understood components of natural resource management. Numerical modeling, as part of watershed management, is not new. Considerable advances have been made in physically based distributed watershed hydrologic modeling in the past few years; however, few physically based, distributed models simulate contaminant transformation and transport processes. This report summarizes the development of overland and channel contaminant fate and transport modules for linkage with a variety of hydraulic and hydrologic modeling systems. JF - Technical Reports.

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

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

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

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

AN - 36346479; 12814 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a light-rail transit (LRT) project for the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor in the southwest portion of Salt Lake County, Utah are proposed. The study area lies in the southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, consisting of the cities of Murray, Midvale, West Jordan, and South Jordan and including a planned community, the Daybreak Development. Several studies have identified this area as having need for significantly improved public transportation, particularly of the High Capacity Transit variety. The proposed LRT services would be provided between the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor, serving the Midvale, Murry, West Jordan, South Jordan, and Daybreak Development, and Salt Lake City. Nine new LRT stations would be provided, one each at Bingham Junction, Midvale, Gardner Village, Redwood, West Jordan City Center, 2700 West, Bangerter, 4800 West, 5600 West, Daybreak North, and Daybreak South. The project would involve construction of 10.1 miles of new track parallel to the single-track of the Bingham Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad from the existing North/South TRAX LRT line at the existing 6400 Station to approximately 5600 West, where the line would turn south into the new Daybreak Development. Reconstruction/relation of the existing single-track of the Bingham Branch would also be required to ensure that the LRT and the railroad freight trains would be on separate tracks. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an enhanced bus service alternative. Estimated cost of the LRT alternative is $452.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The LRT extension would accommodate a portion of the existing and projected travel demand through the year 2025 along the study corridor in the rapidly growing southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, thereby increasing transit ridership in the Salt Lake City area and decreasing the use of vehicular transport, which causes traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. Regional air quality and noise levels along road corridors would also improve significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land acquisition requirements at station sties would result in the displacement of three residential and seven commercial structures housing eight businesses. The LRT line would cross the 100-eyar floodplain at three locations. Rights-of-way clearance would displace 174 acres of mostly disturbed vegetation and 0.32 acres of wetlands. Five archaeological sites and two historic sites could be adversely affected, and noise levels in the vicinity of Green Meadow Park would be increased. A planned trail along the Birmingham Branch could be affected. System operational noise would exceed federal standards at 41 sensitive residential receptor sites; and additional 13 sites would experience significant noise increases. Vibratory impacts would affect 55 properties. Overhead structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor.

Preparation date: July 20, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RUETER-HESS RESERVOIR, DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JULY 2003). AN - 36350688; 12811 AB - PURPOSE: The expansion of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir near the town of Parker in Douglas County, Colorado is proposed by the Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) in a supplement to the final EIS of July 2003 on the construction and operation of the facility. The off-stream reservoir, to be known as the Reuter-Hess Reservoir, is located on Newlin Gulch and include a diversion structure along Cherry Creek. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of July 2003. Action alternatives included the proposed 16,200-acre-foot reservoir and an 11,200-acre-foot reservoir alternative. The PWSD now proposes to enlarge the reservoir from the current permitted design to a capacity of 72,000 acre-feet. The reservoir would continue to capture, reuse, and store seasonal high flows in Cherry Creek and also capable of capturing and reusing advanced wastewater treatment return flows currently discharged to Cherry Creek. Under the No Action Alternative, the PWSD would pump all of its Denver Basin aquifer appropriations on a yearly basin, requiring the construction of a pump station and chlorination plant and development of wellfields and related facilities in the Denver Basin. In addition to the proposed action, this supplemental EIS considers a reduced-capacity reservoir expansion (47,000 acre-feet) and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged reservoir would maximize the storage capacity based on the site's topography, allowing the facility to storage sufficient amounts of Denver Basin groundwater and the associated reuse water from initial Denver Basin us. The project would provide a safe, adequate, and sustainable municipal water supply to the PWSD. The water supply would be capable of meeting a portion of peak demand within the District's legal boundary for the next 50 years; the 2003 projected build-out for the water distribution and supply system is 23,840 single-family equivalents, or approximately 85,000 residents. The reservoir would greatly reduce the number of Denver Basin wellfields required for the PWSD. Hence, the project would help conserve groundwater in the area. The reservoir could provide opportunities for recreational boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, camping, and picnicking. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Expansion of the reservoir would inundate 0.21 acre of wetlands and four miles of intermittent stream channel, in addition to the 6.7 acres of wetlands and five miles of other waters of the U.S. permitted as part of the 2003 project.

12802 AB - PURPOSE: The de-authorization of deep-draft navigation on the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) between the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) and the Gulf of Mexico in St, Bernard, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and Tangipahoa parishes, Louisiana is proposed. The study area covers the Middle and Lower Pontchartrain Basin. Compared to the Mississippi River proper, the MRGO provides a shorter navigation route from the Gulf of Mexico to the Port of new Orleans tidewater facilities. The MRGO channel extends from the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in New Orleans to the 38-foot depth contour in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to directly eliminating 3,150 acres of marsh, 100 acres of wetland forest, and 830 acres of shallow open water, the MRGO has brought saline waters into adjacent areas, causing significant shifts that include the conversion of 3,350 acres of fresh/intermediate marsh and 8,000 acres of cypress swamp to brackish marsh and 19,170 acres of brackish marsh and swamp to saline marsh. Between 1964 and 1996, 5,324 acres of marsh have been lost adjacent to the MRGO due to bank erosion along the channel. The Sound Reach of the MRGO experienced sever shoaling during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. In December 2006, four alternatives were developed to allow continued shallow-draft navigation, three alternatives that completely closed the MRGO from the GIWW to the Gulf, and one that would cease all navigation maintenance activities on the MRGO from the GIWW to the Gulf. An economic evaluation of the channel failed to demonstrate a federal interest in continued operation and maintenance of the MRGO. This draft EIS considers two alternatives: 1) immediate construction of a closure structure across the MRGO near Bayou La Loutre and 2) ceasing all MRGO operations and dredging activities. Present channel conditions accommodate navigation up to a 22-foot draft. Alternative 1 has been selected at the tentatively selected plan. The existing MRGO bank stabilization features and jetties would be de-authorized but remain in place. Under the proposal at hand the MRGO would be de-authorized, any navigational functions of the MRGO that should be maintained would be maintained, measures for hurricane and storm damage reduction would be identified, and the plan would be fully integrated into and consistent with the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Plan. Estimated initial construction cost for the total closure structure is $13.5 million; other estimated costs include $700,000 for navigational aids and $1.5 million for real estate acquisition. Total average annual costs for this alternative are estimated at $6.8 million, with resulting annual benefits valued at $12.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Closure of the MRGO channel would prevent potentially risky uses of the channel by vessel operators willing to risk navigation in an irregularly shoaled shallow-draft waterway. The proposed action could generate environmental benefits through partial restoration of estuarine salinity gradients and tidal conditions. The plan could also prevent the loss of a significant extent of the 1,863 net acres of marsh expected to be lost without the de-authorization. Salinity stratification would be reduced north of the total closure structure, which would reduce salinity stratification in Lake Pontchartrain. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All navigational benefits of the MRGO would be foregone with the construction of the closure structure.

AN - 36340582; 12804 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a high-speed train system linking Sacramento to San Francisco, California is proposed as part of a statewide high-speed train system. The need to improve California's transportation infrastructure, including the infrastructure in the Bay Area and Central Valley, is directly related to the population growth and increased intercity travel demand expected over the next 20 years and beyond and the increased travel delays and congestion that would result on California's highway system and at its airports. The high -speed train system would be capable of transporting passengers at up to 200 miles per hour on tracks that are mostly dedicated, fully grade-separated, and fenced. The rail system would consist of a state-of-the-art, electrically powered, high-speed, steel-wheel-on-steel-rail system that would serve major metropolitan centers in California, including those in the study region. State-of-the-art safety, signaling, and automated train-control systems would be employed. The train would primarily use exclusive track, with small portions of the route on track shared with other passenger rail operations. The train track would be at-grade, in an open trench or tunnel, or on an elevated guideway, depending on terrain and other physical constraints. Extensive portions of many of the alignment alternatives would lie within or adjacent to existing rail or highway rights-of-way, rather than on new alignment. Tunnel segments of the alignments would be used through mountain passes. The study region was divided into six corridors: San Francisco to San Jose, Oakland to San Jose, San Jose to Central Valley, East Bay to Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Crossings, and Central Valley. A No Project Alternative and a number of high-speed train system network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options are considered in this draft EIS. Network alternatives consist of combinations of alternative alignments and station location options. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The high-speed system would respond to transportation needs of a growing population, surmount capacity and reliability constraints affecting road and air transport for intrastate travel, increase mobility by increasing the intensity of modal connections and providing an alternative high-speed transportation mode, and improve air quality and pressure on natural resources, currently degraded by pressure for highway construction and airport expansion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-off-way development would result in the displacement of 755.6 to 1,638.7 acres, 177.6 to 724.4 acres of floodplain, and 44.4 to 56.1 acres of wetlands. From 75.79 to 133,97 acres of stream would be affected by track traversal. Habitat for 38 to 71 federally protected plant and animal species would be affected. From 78 to 220 cultural resource sites would be disturbed or removed. Rail structures and moving train would mar visual aesthetics along the affected corridors. Moderate ambient noise and vibration increases would be expected along rail corridors. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.)

Preparation date: July 12, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HUNTER VALLEY RESERVOIR ENLARGEMENT, GRAND VALLEY RANGER DISTRICT, GRAND MESA, UNCOMPAHGRE, AND GUNNISON NATIONAL FORESTS, COLORADO. AN - 36341705; 12796 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of a dam to enlarge Hunter Reservoir on Leon Creek within the Grand Valley Ranger District of the Grand Mesa Uncompahgre, and Gunnison national forests, Mesa County, Colorado is proposed. The reservoir is operated under a special use permit issued to the Ute Water Conservancy District (Ute Water) and administered by the Grand Valley Ranger District. Over the next 40 years, Ute Water's municipal water demand is expected to increase by 250 percent; hence, the water authority has planned a number of projects to answer this need. Key issues addressed during scoping include those related to construction impacts on soils; base and peak flow regime impacts due to continued water management, wildlife habitat losses and functional alterations to habitat, and recreational impacts. Under the proposed action the reservoir would be enlarged from 19 surface acres to approximately 80 surface acres, increasing the water storage capacity of the facility from 110 acre-feet to 1,340 acre-feet. Reconstruction of the earthen dam would increase the embankment's height from 26 feet to 27 feet and bring the dam into safety compliance with the requirements of the Office of the State Engineer. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged reservoir would provide a portion of Ute Water's projected municipal water demand. Fish habitat in the reservoir would be enhanced significantly, and the recreational capacity of the facility would expand substantially. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 88.8 acres of vegetation and the associated terrestrial wildlife habitat would be displaced during reservoir enlargement, and 84.3 acres would be lost permanently following reclamation. The enlarged reservoir would result in the year-round or seasonal inundation of 32 acres of wetlands; compensation for wetland losses, as mandated by federal law, has been arranged. Although the existing wetland function has already been altered, it was determined that there would be additional effects to remaining wetland function. Base and peak flows below the dam along Leon Creek, affecting both stream hydrology and fisheries. During reservoir filling, in-stream flow would decrease drastically along the 0.06-mile reach directly below the dam.

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

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

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - ATLANTIC COAST OF MARYLAND SHORELINE PROTECTION PROJECT: BORROW SOURCES FOR 2010 - 2044 (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF JUNE 1998 TITLED OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND, AND VICINITY: WATER RESOURCES STUDY). AN - 756824965; 13572-080347_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this final supplement the final EIS. The proposal at hand addresses only the borrow areas; the overall restoration project has been described in a final EIS of June 1998. The overall project components would address problems caused by disruption of sediment movement in the vicinity of Assateague Island and insufficient depth for deeper draft boats using the harbor. The overall project would include a navigation component and a shoreline restoration component. The recommended environmental restoration plan, for which the borrow sites addressed in this supplemental EIS are necessary, includes restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, construction of a new three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. It is estimated that 6.8 million to 15 million cubic yards of sand would be needed through 2044; sand would be placed on the shoreline on a quadrennial basis. This supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources together capable of meeting the need for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as the preferred sites, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. A fourth site, referred to as Shoal B, but locally known as Bass Grounds or First Lump, has been identified as capable of providing suitable sand as well. However, Shoal B is an important fishing ground; hence, sand at the site would not be used unless future evaluation finds that its value as a fishing resource has diminished substantially. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. Channel improvements would allow for safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. Stabilizing South Point would protect habitat for the Brown Pelican colony nesting there and the additional areas would create and stabilize habitat for colonial waterbirds such as the Least Tern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of dredged material to create islands would destroy benthic organisms and habitat.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - ATLANTIC COAST OF MARYLAND SHORELINE PROTECTION PROJECT: BORROW SOURCES FOR 2010 - 2044 (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF JUNE 1998 TITLED OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND, AND VICINITY: WATER RESOURCES STUDY). AN - 756824897; 13572-080347_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this final supplement the final EIS. The proposal at hand addresses only the borrow areas; the overall restoration project has been described in a final EIS of June 1998. The overall project components would address problems caused by disruption of sediment movement in the vicinity of Assateague Island and insufficient depth for deeper draft boats using the harbor. The overall project would include a navigation component and a shoreline restoration component. The recommended environmental restoration plan, for which the borrow sites addressed in this supplemental EIS are necessary, includes restoration of 12 acres of salt marsh at the Isle of Wight Wildlife Management Area and 8.5 acres of salt marsh at Ocean Pines, stabilization of the eroding South Point Island to its 1997 size of approximately 2.3 acres, construction of a new three-acre island proximate to South Point to create vegetated habitat for colonial waterbirds, and creation of a three acre island near Dog Island to provide bare substrate with a shell surface for colonial waterbird nesting. The island created near Dog Island would also include three additional cells that would be available to local citizens, businesses, and government agencies for placement of locally generated dredged material, providing for an additional three acres of salt marsh in the near future and as much as 19 acres in the long term. It is estimated that 6.8 million to 15 million cubic yards of sand would be needed through 2044; sand would be placed on the shoreline on a quadrennial basis. This supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources together capable of meeting the need for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as the preferred sites, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. A fourth site, referred to as Shoal B, but locally known as Bass Grounds or First Lump, has been identified as capable of providing suitable sand as well. However, Shoal B is an important fishing ground; hence, sand at the site would not be used unless future evaluation finds that its value as a fishing resource has diminished substantially. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding. Channel improvements would allow for safe, efficient movement of modern, deep-draft boats using the harbor. The areas of restored salt marsh would receive tidal inflow and would provide nursery habitat for a variety of aquatic organisms. Stabilizing South Point would protect habitat for the Brown Pelican colony nesting there and the additional areas would create and stabilize habitat for colonial waterbirds such as the Least Tern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and deposition of dredged material to create islands would destroy benthic organisms and habitat.

AN - 36350591; 12776 AB - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this draft supplemental EIS.

It is estimated that 800,000 cubic yards of sand would be needed on a quadrennial basis to maintain the project restoration features; hence, through out the project life, 6.8 million cubic yards would be required. To provide the materials needed through the economic conclusion of the project in 2044, this supplemental EIS identifies borrow sources for sand. Three offshore shoals have been identified as potential sources, specifically, Weaver Shoal, Isle of Wight Shoal, and Shoal A. Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal lie eight miles offshore, which Shoal A lies 9.5 miles offshore. Based on analyses of the shoal sites, it was determined that the dredging material from Weaver Shoal and Isle of Wight Shoal would cost about the same. Dredging from Shoal A would cost approximately five percent more. The cost differences were deemed insignificant. Hence, based on the uncertainty regarding total future sand needs and the recognition that additional investigations of offshore shoal subareas is necessary, it was determined to make the sand borrow flexible by dredging from all three sites. Cost of dredging from the three recommended offshore shoals throughout the project life is estimated at $268 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The borrow sources would provide sand to restore one of the few remaining barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, protecting coastal areas behind it from flooding.

Preparation date: July 2, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BERTHS 136 - 147 CONTAINER TERMINAL LOS ANGELES HARBOR, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36346206; 12787 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an expanded container terminal at berths 136 through 147 in the West Basin of Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles County, California are proposed. The study area lies in the Port of Los Angeles approximately 20 miles south of downtown and immediately south of the Wilmington community. In 2003, the terminal handled 891,976 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containerized cargo and serviced 246 vessel calls. At full operation, expected to occur by 2025, the terminal could handle 2.4 million TEUs per year, a level of traffic that would exceed the terminal's current capacity by 700,000 TEUs. Under the proposed action, the project would increase terminal size from 176 acres to 243 acres through the redevelopment of 52 acres of existing industrial land and the development of five acres of fill in the Northwest Slip. Pier A within the existing industrial land would be relocated. The existing main guard station, administrative building, reefer wash facility, maintenance and repair and roadability facility, longshore restroom, yard operations building, and Pacific Harbor Line office would be demolished and replaced by new buildings. The terminal would be improved by the construction of two new truck gates and a new 5000-space parking lot. The waters adjacent to berths 144 through 147 would be deepened by dredging to match the planned 53-foot-deep channel that is expected to be created by a proposed channel deepening project; 295,000 cubic yards of sediments would be dredged and deposited at an upland disposal site or approved ocean dumping site. The wharves at berths 146 and 147 would be replaced and expanded. Berths 136 through 139 and 145 and 146 would be upgrade to meet current seismic standards. The wharf associated with berths 136 through 138 would be extended by 400 feet inter Berth 134. The project would provide a 10-acre on-dock rail yard on the site of the existing Pier A rail yard. Harry Bridges Boulevard would be widened and realigned along its current alignment, and a 30-acre landscaped area would be provided between the boulevard and C Street. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and four alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new container facilities would increase and optimize the cargo-handling efficiency and capacity of the Port of Los Angeles at the affecting berthing area. Needed containerized cargo-handling facilities would be provided to maximize the use of the existing waterways and integrate them into the overall use of the port. The proposed facilities would accommodate 2.4 TWUs of containerized cargo per year. Construction activities and expanded terminal operations would add significantly to local employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fill area would displace open water and benthic habitat within the port. Emissions of volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur oxides related to truck traffic and other equipment associated with the operations of the terminal would exceed federal and/or state air quality standards. By 2025, the terminal would generate 6,377 daily truck trips, placing significant stress on the local and regional road transportation systems. Increased terminal operations will increase vessel traffic within the port and on approaching navigation lanes, increasing the chance for vessel collisions with other vessels and with marine mammals.

AN - 16388943; 13572 AB - PURPOSE: The identification and use of borrow areas to provide sand for the implementation of navigation and environmental restoration measures along the back bays of Ocean City and Assateague Island, Worcester County, Maryland is proposed in this final supplement the final EIS. The proposal at hand addresses only the borrow areas; the overall restoration project has been described in a final EIS of June 1998.

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

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

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

The present paper describes an improvement to this inverse method by resolving the timing of subfault movement in the inversion. This provides additional degrees of freedom in the regression analysis and accounts for rupture propagation and rise time of tsunamigenic earthquakes. The method is implemented for the Peru-Chile subduction zone, in which the seismic source parameters are deduced from previous studies of seismotectonics and historical earthquakes. A hindcast analysis of the 1995 Antofagasta-Chile tsunami demonstrates the capability of the adaptive inverse algorithm in improving the near-field inversion results and consequently the far-field forecast.

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

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

Preparation date: June 29, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PLACER PARKWAY CORRIDOR PRESERVATION, SUTTER AND PLACER COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36341010; 12780 AB - PURPOSE: The selection and acquisition of transportation rights-of-way within a 14.2- to 16.2-mile corridor for the future construction of Placer Parkway, a proposed east-west roadway linking State Route (SR) 65 and SR 70/99 in Sutter and Placer counties, California are proposed in this first tier draft programmatic EIS. Placer Parkway has been established as a high-priority regional transportation facility in the Sacramento Council of Governments' 2005 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the 2027 Placer County Regional Transportation Plan. The rights-of-way to be acquired would be a 500- to 1,000-foot-wide corridor within which a four- to six-lane parkway would be constructed. The 500-foot-wide sections would traverse the eastern and western segments of the corridor, while the 1,000-foot-wide section would lie between Pleasant Grove Road and Fiddyment Road, which is the central segment. Construction of the parkway would be subject to a separate environmental review. This EIS considers five alternative alignments and a No-Build Alternative. The selected corridor would contain the roadway, including the median, travel lanes, shoulders, associated access ramps, and a no-development buffer zone. Access to the parkway would be provided at its western and eastern ends, where existing areas of dense development are already located or planned. Access would be restricted for the seven-mile segment between Pleasant Grove Road and Fiddyment Road. Interchanges would be provided via SR 65 at Whitney Ranch Parkway, Foothills Boulevard, Fiddyment Road, one or two locations to be determined in southern Sutter County, and SR 70/99 at a point 0.5 mile north of Riego Road or at Sankey Road. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Placer Parkway would reduce anticipated congestion on both the local and regional road transportation system and advance the economic development goals established for southwestern Placer County and southern Sutter County. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Acquisition of 1,672 to 1,918 acres of rights-of-way would displace 676.5 to 990 acres of farmland, including prime farmland, as well as 4.8 to 12.3 acres of riparian land, 269 to 370 acres of floodplain, 28 to 35.8 acres of wetlands, 107 to 127 acres of vernal pools. The rights-of-way would bisect 26 to 35 parcels of farmland. Impacts to federally protected species would include the loss of degradation of 268 to 340 acres of habitat for the garter snake, 3.3 to 7.9 acres of nesting habitat for Swainson's hawk and white-tailed kite, 759 to 10,244 acres of foraging habitat for Swainson's hawk, and 1.2 to 1.9 acres of valley elderberry longhorn beetle habitat. The parkway would increase impervious area by 622 to 745 acres within the corridor, increasing runoff and reducing percolation. The project could affect Reclamation District No. 1000 Rural Historic District, which is eligible for inclusion in the national Register of Historic Places. Three of the alternatives would also affect three other properties that might be eligible for inclusion in the Register. Traffic-generated noise levels associated with the parkway would exceed federal standards at one or two existing residences and an unknown number of residences within proposed residential developments. Construction workers would encounter three or four hazardous waste sites. Construction emissions would exceed local air quality standards for volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter.

Preparation date: June 29, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGULATION SCHEDULE STUDY, FLORIDA (REVISED DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF NOVEMBER 1999). AN - 36345638; 12769 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, Florida is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring 720 square miles in area. It is nationally renowned sport fishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee River estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving waterbodies, including the Everglades, which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1999. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by the final EIS of November 1999 would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. This revised draft supplemental EIS supports the proposed operational changes to the lake regulation schedule and provides additional planning in response to heavy rainfall and numerous hurricanes, resulting in higher than normal lake levels, since the publication of the final EIS. All alternatives evaluated in the draft and final EISs were based on criteria for managing Lake Okeechobee at a lower level than current water regulation schedule. The issue of public and health safety based on the integrity of the Herbert Hoover Dike (HDD) was also a key factor in the selection of the preferred alternative. The currently preferred alternative schedule would attempt to balance competing objectives, including flood control, water supply, navigation, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement. The schedule would be an interim measure until a new schedule to accommodate the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and related projects, the HHD see page berm construction or equivalent dike repairs are completed. Following rehabilitation of the HDD, the CERP would be operated under the new system-wide CERP schedule or under a new schedule providing storage equivalent to the existing Water Supply and Environment schedule. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas; increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries; and improve hydropatterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and sea grasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in vegetative change from sawgrass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA #A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

Preparation date: June 27, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - I-65 TO US 31W ACCESS IMPROVEMENT, WARREN COUNTY, KENTUCKY. AN - 36341371; 12763 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of access between Interstate 65 II-65) and US 31 West in the Bowling Green area of Warren County, Kentucky is proposed. The study area, which serves as the main economic center for numerous surrounding counties, is experiencing rapid growth and the current transportation network is not adequate to meet the related transportation demands. The regional arterials in the project area are I-65, US 31 West, US 68/Kentucky (KY) 68/KY 80, and KY 446. The study corridor lies northeast of the Bowling Green central business district and includes some of the incorporated limits of Bowling Green, unincorporated portions of Warren County, and incorporated portions of Oakland. Nine alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1) and a transportation systems management scheme (Alternative 2), are considered in this draft EIS. Build alternatives include reconstruction of KY 446 and US 31 West (Alternative 3); reconstruction of US 31 West within the existing rights-of-way (Alternative 3-Minimization); reconstruction of US 66/KY 80 (Alternative 4); reconstruction of KY 446, US 31 West, and US 68/KY 80 (Alternative 3+4); construction of a new I-65/US 31 connector route (Alternative 5); and construction of a new I-65/US 31 connector route, along with reconstruction of US 68/KY 80 (Alternative 6). Alternative 6, including a single new connector extending 3.6 miles and the related reconstruction project, has been preliminarily chosen as the preferred alternative. Estimated costs of the preferred alternative is estimated at $51 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would meet existing and future transportation demands in the study area by improving roadway capacity and safety in the study corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under the preferred alternative would result in displacement of five residences, 6.1 acres of forested land, and 244 acres of farmland. The existence of the facility would result in the indirect conversion of 422 additional acres of farmland. The displaced farmland would include 376 acres of prime farmland and 240 acres of farmland of statewide importance. Eleven farms would be affected by loss of arable land or severance and isolation of land parcels. The alignment would traverse 28 sinkholes, and 37 sinkholes would be indirectly affected. The alignment would pass within 50 feet of Mill Cave and within 11,000 feet of Wolf Sink Cave, potentially affecting the federally protected gray bat. Two historically significant properties would be indirectly affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of five sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter seven sites containing contaminated wastes.

Preparation date: June 19, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WATERWAY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO CREEK WATERSHED, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36341671; 12762 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a waterway management program for the San Luis Obispo Creek watershed in the city of San Luis Obispo and San Luis Obispo County, including the community of Avila Beach, is proposed. The program would consist of a combination of policies, programs, and plans to address, in a regional or watershed-wide manner, flooding and flood control along San Luis Obispo Creek and its tributaries. The program would be designed to allow the City/Zone 9 to obtain either an Army Corps of Engineers regional general permit or an individual permit for Category 1 and 2 activities described in the plan; Category 3 projects (capital improvements) would require second-tier environmental review. This programmatic draft EIS addresses the proposed action, a No Action Alternative, and alternatives to the capital improvement program. Program elements and mitigation measures fall into the following categories: stream maintenance and management, bank stabilization and repair, channel design, constructed natural channel designs, bypass channel designs, modified channel designs, development drainage design standards, floodplain management policies, revegetation activities, exotic species control, riparian habitat improvement, aquatic improvement, and capital improvement projects. The EIS considers five capital improvement projects. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Projects conducted under the management plan would reduce flooding, sedimentation, and bank and channel bed erosion and improve water quality and otherwise contribute to ecosystem restoration within the watershed. Development in the area would proceed as a planned, measured pace and to the extent amenable to watershed health and local economic needs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Spawning gravels would be removed during stream improvements, and bank stabilization repair activities and various channel design and improvement measures would disturb aquatic habitat. Stockpiles of removed sediment, channel design alterations, the presence of bypass channels, and retention and other structures would mar visual aesthetics in the affected corridors. Private property, including structures, would be displaced and business practices would be impeded by channel work and construction of structures.

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

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

Preparation date: June 15, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PINYON CANYON MANEUVER SITE TRANSFORMATION, FORT CARSON, COLORADO. AN - 36350417; 12753 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the U.S. Army Military transformation programs at the Pinyon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) of Fort Carson, Colorado is proposed. The Army is currently undergoing transformational activities across the full spectrum of military operations to respond more rapidly to enemy threats. These changes will affect most, if not all, aspects of the Army's doctrine, training, leader development, organizations, installations, materiel acquisition and fielding, and personnel. The transformation programs, which are based on the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (also known as the Global Defense Posture Realignment), and the Army Modular Force, are needed to prepare the Army's combat forces for deployment around the world. The proposed action would support the training of 8,500 additional soldiers at the PCMS, requiring construction and increased use of training areas. The 235,000-acre PCMS, which is located 150 miles southwest of Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, is used to prepare soldiers for operational deployments and missions, including small-arms, live-fire, and maneuver training exercises. The primary PCMS mission is to support maneuver training for large ground forces. Ground forces need large, contiguous maneuver and training areas with urban warfare training complexes to support "free-flowing" exercises that replicate the contemporary operating environment. Under the proposal, the Army would continue to maintain the withdrawal of 2,517.12 acres of public land and 130,139 acres of public-owned land with mineral rights attached from the public domain; the withdrawal of these lands was extended until 2011 by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997, which requires the Army to reevaluate the need for these withdrawals to continue after 2011. The withdrawals would support the training of additional Active Component troops stationed at Fort Carson and support additional training for Reserve Component units. Approximately 23,000 military personnel would be permanently stationed at Fort Carson for training within the PCMS; this represents an increase of 8,500 soldiers, including two brigade combat teams and other support units. Training and maneuver activities would be similar to those now occurring on the PCMS, though the frequency of use of the area would increase significantly. The area would also offer a training site for thousands of National Guard and Reserve Component troops. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continued operation and improvement of the PCMS would train troops to provide security across vast operational areas while responding to the full range of unpredictable enemy activities with a disciplined and measured response on a moment's notice. The land and environmental management programs associated with the PCMS would provide for effective natural resource management and for sustainable stewardship of the training area. The influx of personnel would result in greater personal and military expenditures in the region, boosting numerous local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly all of the vegetated areas and associated soils and wildlife habitat on the maneuver training area could be disturbed during training exercises. Denuded areas would be prone to wind and water erosion. Loss mobile and burrowing wildlife species could be directly affected by movements of troops and vehicles and the explosion of ordnance and munitions. Archaeological and paleontological resource sites could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed. Maneuvers would result in the release of air pollutants and the emission of high-volume noise from vehicles and explosions. Munitions, fuel, and other toxic materials would be released into the environment both intentionally and accidently.

Training and maneuver activities would be similar to those now occurring, though the frequency of use of the area would increase significantly. The fort would also offer a training site for thousands of National Guard and Reserve Component troops. The transformation measures would include 25 construction and renovation projects at a cost of $300 million. In conjunction with these construction projects, the Army proposes the demolition of seven buildings and one warehouse. The transformation project also encompasses a number of construction projects already underway at Fort Carson. In addition to the proposed actions, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. Cost of facility construction for implementation of the transformation measures, which would extend from 2006 to 2011, is estimated at $1.2 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The transformation program at Fort Carson cohere with other such programs around the country, improving the efficiency, increasing the responsiveness, and enhancing the effectiveness of the installation's contribution to the defense of the country in rapidly changing military and non-military threat situations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetation would be removed and soil structures and topographies significantly altered where new facilities are constructed to house and provide services to soldiers and their families. All of the vegetated areas and associated soils and wildlife habitat on the maneuver training area could be disturbed during training exercises. Denuded areas would be prone to wind and water erosion.

It was found that the mean annual temperature is rising, and annual precipitation shows obvious differencees. The observed records at Bayanbulak Meteorological Station indicate precipitation has been increasing obviously since 1989. Precipitation and temperature are the main factors which resulted in changes in runoff. The correlation coefficient of annual precipitation and runoff is the largest, at 0.73. The correlation coefficient between the mean annual temperature and runoff is 0.36. When precipitation is a constant, runoff decreases with rising temperature; when temperature is a constant, runoff increases with increasing precipitation, but runoff will increase when both precipitation and temperature increase.

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

AN - 36341176; 12732 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the Exit 22 interchanger on New York State Route NYS 17 to interstate highway standards in the town of Wallkill, Orange County, New York is proposed. The existing interchange is characterized by very sharp curves on its ramps and is also affected by the proximity of the exit and entrance ramps to the Interstate 84 (I-84) ramps, which results in a high accident rate, particularly westbound. Traffic movements are also slowed by delays at the ramp intersections with Crystal Run Road and East Main Street and the steep grade of East Main Street. Six alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Four of the build alternatives are variations on a similar theme for the exit, differing n their approach to the relocation of East Main Street and Crystal Run Road. The five build alternatives would take a different approach for the exit and keep Crystal Run Road close to its existing location. All build alternatives would include the construction of a canoe launch near Midway Road. Estimated costs of the build alternatives range from $60 million to $92 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would improve Exit 122 to meet federal standards for an interstate exit, improve NYS 17 to meet federal interstate standards, and improve the operational safety of NYS 17, Crystal Run Road, and East Main Street for existing traffic volumes and for reasonably foreseeable increases in traffic volumes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace 71 to 94 acres of private property, five businesses, and one or two residences. Natural resources to be affected would include 1.72 to 3.26 acres of wetlands and 15.4 to 28.7 acres of forested land. All build alternatives would have a minor impact on the 100-year floodplain of the Wallkill River; from 3.1 to 3.3 acres of the floodplain would suffer encroachment. Six to seven archaeological sites would be affected. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of one or five residential receptor sites.

Preparation date: June 1, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Environmental Consequences of the Failure of the New Orleans Levee System During Hurricane Katrina: Microbiological Analysis AN - 21066856; 9047344 AB - Multiple failures of the levee system protection for the City of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 led to the flooding of the metropolitan area. The floodwaters and sediments contained some dissolved and entrained chemical and microbial contaminants. Subsequent pumping of floodwater from the city to the adjacent environment and the ongoing removal of sediment and sediment-coated debris are potential mechanisms to distribute these contaminants to the local environment. The recalcitrant hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) was used as an indicator of hydrophobic organic contaminants and microbial and sterol indicators of fecal material to assess sources and sinks of these classes of contaminants. These data provided a basis for contaminant transport and fate models. Additionally, this report specifically focuses on the Violet Marsh area outside the levee from the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans and on the Chalmette area of St. Bernard Parish, looking at potential environmental impacts. Water fecal coliform counts (colony forming units (cfu) per 100 mL of water) ranged from 100 to 490,000 (mean=21,381, standard deviation =74,541, median=2,200) in New Orleans proper, 10 to 30,000 (mean =3,308, SD=8,093, median=2oo) in New Orleans East, and 17 to 25,000 (mean=1,287, SD=4,381, median= 100) in St. Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward polders. The LADEQ primary contact recreational water quality criterion for fecal coliforms is 400 cfu/100 mL. Floodwater in all three polders frequently exceeded this standard, and no trend (increasing or decreasing cfu/100 mL) was evident with time as the water was pumped out. BaP levels in water ( mu g/L) were all non-detect except one data point at 0.42 mu g/L in New Orleans proper. BaP is a hydrophobic organic contaminant that would tend to sorb to sediment particles and settle from the water standing in the city. Comparison of the levels of indicators in the surface of sediment cores to those in the bottoms of the cores shows that Violet Marsh has had a history of fecal and BaP contamination, much presumably coming primarily from the sewage treatment plant that drains into Bayou Bienvenue. The flooding of New Orleans and the subsequent pumpout resulted in higher levels of fecal material and BaP in the surface sediments of the marsh and a wider distribution of these contaminants throughout the marsh.

ARMS uses available soil (soil texture, porosity, K sub(s) sub(a) sub(t)), land cover (vegetation type, LAI, Fraction of Greenness), and atmospheric data (Albedo) in standardized vector and raster GIS data formats at multiple scales, in addition to climatological forcing data and precipitation. PEST (Parameter EStimation Tool) was integrated into the process to optimize soil porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sub(s) sub(a) sub(t)), using the remotely sensed measurements, in order to provide a more accurate estimate of the soil moisture. The modeling process is controlled by the user through a graphical interface developed as part of the ArcMap component of ESRI ArcGIS.

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

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

A model that simultaneously examines the relative importance of factors of the system has developed. The investigated factors included plant biomass (Biomass) of submersed macrophytes (Potamogeton malaianus and Potamogeton oxyphyllus) and other environmental factors, i.e. water velocity and water depth (Hydraulic), pore water nitrogen (TNL), pore water phosphorus (TPL), sediment organic matter (Organic) and sediment particle size (Texture). The estimated model showed that the Biomass was negatively correlated with Hydraulic but positively correlated with Organic whilst TNL and TPL affected the Biomass with almost equal strength. The effects caused by Hydraulic to Texture were greater than the ones caused by Biomass. At the narrow ranges of water velocity (0-7 cm s super(-1)) and shallow depth (0-35 cm), the effect of wash-away of Organic by Hydraulic were smaller than the retention effect of Organic by Biomass. These results provide more insights into interactions of the submersed macrophytes with environmental factors.

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

AN - 756824738; 12864-070214_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi is proposed. The applicant, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, wishes to transport natural gas from production fields in eastern Texas to markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwestern, Northeastern, and Southeastern United States. The system contemplated by the applicant, would include 240 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastward from DeSoto Parish in Louisiana to Simpson County in Mississippi; 3.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Gulf South's existing Carthage Junction compressor station in Panola County, Texas to interconnects with existing natural gas facilities within Panola County; new compressor stations, one each in Ouachita and Madison parishes, Louisiana; modifications to existing compressor stations at Carthage Junction in Panola County, Hall Summit in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and McComb in Walthall County, Mississippi; and ancillary facilities including six meter and regulator facilities, 11 mainline valves, nine side valves, and six pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, energy conservation technologies and practices, a major pipeline route alternative and minor route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would be capable of 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the applicant's target markets, improving the reliability of natural gas delivery in those markets and helping to reduce the dependency of the United States on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cross 848 surface waterbodies and 301 wetlands, disturbing approximately 114.9 areas of wetlands. Conventional open-cut construction would be used to cross all but 64 of these waterbodies, which would be crossed using horizontal directional drilling. Special-status and high-quality wetlands , including wetlands in the National Resource Conservation Service-administered Wetland Reserve Program and Prior Converted Wetlands program, as well as several high-quality forested wetlands, would be affected by construction and operation of the system. Numerous acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way during operation. The pipelines would pass in the vicinity of several recreational and special interest areas, including the Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, the Pearl and Black rivers, Black Lake Bayou and Saline Bayou, the Natchez Trace Parkway, and the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.

CP06-446-000, PF06-17-000, PF06-23-000). AN - 756824377; 12864-070214_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi is proposed. The applicant, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, wishes to transport natural gas from production fields in eastern Texas to markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwestern, Northeastern, and Southeastern United States. The system contemplated by the applicant, would include 240 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastward from DeSoto Parish in Louisiana to Simpson County in Mississippi; 3.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Gulf South's existing Carthage Junction compressor station in Panola County, Texas to interconnects with existing natural gas facilities within Panola County; new compressor stations, one each in Ouachita and Madison parishes, Louisiana; modifications to existing compressor stations at Carthage Junction in Panola County, Hall Summit in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and McComb in Walthall County, Mississippi; and ancillary facilities including six meter and regulator facilities, 11 mainline valves, nine side valves, and six pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, energy conservation technologies and practices, a major pipeline route alternative and minor route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would be capable of 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the applicant's target markets, improving the reliability of natural gas delivery in those markets and helping to reduce the dependency of the United States on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cross 848 surface waterbodies and 301 wetlands, disturbing approximately 114.9 areas of wetlands. Conventional open-cut construction would be used to cross all but 64 of these waterbodies, which would be crossed using horizontal directional drilling. Special-status and high-quality wetlands , including wetlands in the National Resource Conservation Service-administered Wetland Reserve Program and Prior Converted Wetlands program, as well as several high-quality forested wetlands, would be affected by construction and operation of the system. Numerous acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way during operation. The pipelines would pass in the vicinity of several recreational and special interest areas, including the Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, the Pearl and Black rivers, Black Lake Bayou and Saline Bayou, the Natchez Trace Parkway, and the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.

Preparation date: May 24, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BEAR CREEK DAM LEAKAGE RESOLUTION PROJECT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, ALABAMA. AN - 15224980; 12862 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of repair work to resolve a leakage problem at Bear Creek Dam in Franklin County, Alabama is proposed to prevent dam failure during heavy rains. The dam is operated to provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and economic development potential, primarily via water supply. In addition, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which owns and administers the dam, has committed to minimum-flow releases to conserve and enhance habitat for endangered mussels downstream from the dam to the Pickwick Reservoir. Completed in 1969, the dam has a rock foundation, but a portion of the structure was built on residual soil, Since completion, the dam has leaked continuously through its foundation. TVA has attempted several repairs, generally involving drilling and grouting to plug leakage pathways through the underlying rock and soil. After the most recently repairs, which occurred during 2004 and 2005, TVA returned the reservoir to the normal summer pool of 576 feet; leakage continued. This leakage increases the risk of dam failure; hence, as a precautionary measure, TVA subsequently lowered the summer pool by eight feet. However, when heavy rains occur, the reservoir rises to 576 feet and above and the risk of dam failure increases. Although TVA maintains equipment for emergency repairs and increases its monitoring and notifies local officials when the water rises, these measures are not a viable long-term solution to the leakage problem. In addition to the No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), this draft EIS considers the following action alternatives: 2) modification of the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 576 feet, which would match the original design for the dam; 3) lowering the dam to maintain a summer pool elevation of 565 feet, and 4) removal of the dam and restoration of the former natural creek channel. The preferred alternative would modify the dam such that the 576-foot operating pool could be maintained. Under this alternative, the TVA would rebuild the dam in place or immediately downstream of the existing dam. The specific repair method would be determined based on engineering and design studies. The options under consideration include roller compacted reinforcing structure, grouting, and trenching. County Road 37, which crosses Bear Creek via the crown of the dam, would be returned to service upon completion of construction and repairs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By repairing and maintaining the dam, the TVA would continue to provide benefits for the region, including water supply, flood control, and open water recreational opportunities. The repaired dam would better allow TVA to meet the seasonal minimum-flow required to conserve aquatic resources downstream of the impoundment. Endangered and threatened fish and mussels would benefit from conservation releases from the dam. Approximately 77 acres of scrub-shurb wetlands that formed along the banks of the reservoir would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, wave action along the shoreline of the reservoir would continue to cause bank erosion and downstream releases would cause some scour and bank erosion as well. The impoundment would continue to displace natural stream habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 et seq.).

[Part 3 of 3] T2 - US 59 -- AMELIA EARHART MEMORIAL BRIDGE OVER THE MISSOURI RIVER, ATCHISON, KANSAS TO US 59/STATE ROUTE 45 INTERSECTION IN BUCHANAN COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 756824468; 12851-070201_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the two-lane Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge with a four-lane structure across the Missouri River in the vicinity of Atchison, Kansas is proposed to connect Atchison with Buchanan County, Missouri. The 4.2-mile study corridor extends from Atchison to the US 59/Route 45 intersection in Missouri. The existing bridge connects US 59, a four-lane urban arterial adjacent to downtown Atchison to a two-lane rural arterial section of US 59 in Buchanan County, just northwest of Winthrop. The existing crossing does not meet current design criteria for width and load capacity and requires costly maintenance measures. A scour hole has developed north of the center bridge pier. Project traffic volumes warrant a four-lane crossing. Five alternatives were considered preliminarily, including a No-Build Alternative, a transportation systems alternative, a mass transit Alternative, upgrading of the existing bridge, and the a new build Alternative, which includes eight options, including construction of a new two-lane bridge with replacement or rehabilitation of the existing bridge and construction of a new four-lane bridge upstream or downstream of the existing bridge. Two build alternatives and the No-Build Alternative are considered in detail in this final EIS. Build alternatives under detailed consideration include construction of a new two-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge (Alternative 4H Rehabilitation), which is the preferred alternative, and retention of the rehabilitated two-lane bridge and replacement of the existing bridge with a four-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing structure (Alternative 4H Replacement). Estimated costs of alternatives 4H Rehabilitation and 4H Replacement $98.3 million and $88 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either build Alternative would provide a structurally sound, operationally efficient, economically feasible, and safe Missouri River crossing. The bridge or bridges would accommodate economically sustainable future development within the area and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 4H Rehabilitation Alternative would result in the retention of a bridge that would be difficult to replace in the future, and the potential for barge impacts would be high. Both build alternatives would displace a section of floodplain over 5,300 feet wide. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 31.8 to 35.8 acres of farmland, 30.5 to 32.2 acres of prime farmland, two to three acres of Atchison Casting, eight residences, eight to 11 commercial units, 18 acres of wetlands, 83.2 to 88.7 acres of floodplain, 2.1 acres of forest, and habitat for two federally protected species. Demolition of the bridge under the Replacement Alternative would result in the loss of a historically significant structure, and the Alternative would affect six other potentially significant structures. The Rehabilitation Alternative would affect five potentially significant structures. Construction workers would encounter two or three hazardous materials storage tanks.

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

AN - 36342052; 12838 AB - PURPOSE: The widening and deepening of the Matagorda Ship Channel (MSC) in Lavaca Bay and vicinity, Calhoun and Matagorda counties, Texas are proposed. The project would enlarge the MSC over a distance of 26 miles from the Port of Port Lavaca Point Comfort marine slips and the existing Port Comfort turning basin in Lavaca Bay through Matagorda Bay into the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, a new turning basin would be dredged in Lavaca Bay. Recent economic evaluations indicate that annual tanker calls and dry bulk calls will increase at Gulf Coast ports and that larger ships will likely be added to the existing fleet in pursuit of economic efficiency. The current dimensions of the MSC result in restricted vessel movements and prevent some of the newer, high-capacity freight and tanker vessels from entering the port, requiring light-loading measures and, in some cases, full unloading outside the port. Up to 90 percent of the vessels calling at the port are currently light-loaded due to draft limitations of the present channel configuration. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to dredged material management, ecological impacts, salinity changes, protected species, historic resources, water and sediment quality, hazardous materials, shoreline erosion, economics, navigation, recreation, energy consumption, and public safety. Under the proposed action, the project would increase the MSC's In-Bay Channel depth from 36 feet below mean low tide (MLT) to 44 feet below MLT and increase the channel's width from 200 feet to 400 feet; increase the dimensions of the MSC's Entrance Channel from 38 feet below MLT to 46 feet below MLT and from 300 feet to 600 feet; provide a new turning basin designed to accommodate a ship turning circle of 1,650 feet at a depth of 44 feet below MLT. The proposed action would generate 46.5 million cubic yards (mcy) of dredged material and 257.5 mcy of future maintenance dredged material over the 50-year life of the project. Three general dredged material placement plans, along with a No-Action plan, are considered in this draft EIS. These placement plans include confined placement at an upland site, unconfined placement in the Gulf, and multi-use placement for beneficial purposes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve deep-draft transport of commerce to the port by reducing or eliminating light-loading measures and allowing larger cargo vessels to call on at the port. The enlarged channel would eliminate existing operational constraints to remove conditions that result in vessel delays and, thereby, reduce shipping costs and logistical problems and increase the safety of the channel. Beneficial placement of dredged spoil would nourish three miles shoreline, provide protection from a breach along the peninsula separating Keller Bay from Matagorda Bay, and create marsh habitat in open bay areas. Approximately 250 acres of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) would be protected by the placement of dredged material, 325 acres of SAV sand platforms would be created by dredged material placement, 432 acres of estuarine marsh would be protected, and the bay estuarine ecosystem would benefit from a net increase of 587 acres of marsh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Local changes to bathymetry and bottom topography would result from dredging. The altered hydrology resulting from the enlarged channel and the new turning basin could result in a small increase in tidal range and the resulting increases in salinity, particularly during times of high inflow. Minor delays to commercial navigation could occur during initial project implementation. Benthic communities would be destroyed by dredging and placement of dredged material in open waters; however, except where permanently smothered, these communities would re-establish themselves. Approximately 4,060 acres of open-bay bottom would be displaced.

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

The existing two-lane bridge, located atop the Big Bear Dam one mile west of the city of Big Bear Lake, is deteriorating and functionally obsolete. In addition, the State transportation authorities have determined that a third lane is required to improve traffic channelization at the State Route (SR) 18/38 intersection. After screening five preliminary action alternatives, two action alternatives and a No Action Alternative were retained for detailed consideration in this final EIS of August 2003 {NOT IN MY DATABASE}. Action Alternative 4 would involve construction of a new three-lane bridge across Big Bear Lake, while Action Alternative 5 would involve construction of a new bridge across Bear Canyon/Bear Creek. Both alternatives would include realignment and widening of the bridge and approach roadways, signalization of the intersection of SR 18 and SR 38, and demolition of the existing bridge. Costs of alternatives 4 and 5 are $19 million $15.3 million and $24.2 million, respectively. Alternative 5 has been selected as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacing the existing bridge, which is characterized by inadequate capacity and structural deficiencies, would improve the safety and operational efficiency of the crossing. Moreover, demolition of the existing bridge would allow the Big Bear Municipal Water District to compete their planned spillway and outlet works improvements on the Big Bear Dam. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 4 would displace 0.007 acre of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.. Floodplain land would be traversed, but impacts on flood levels would be insignificant. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected due to alteration of visual aesthetics, and 0.37 to 0.47 acre of Big Be Lake shoreline and a total of one to 2.5 acres of recreational lands, including the lake and shoreline, would be displaced. Habitat for the federally protected South Rubber Boa and bald eagle would be affected by the loss of four to 11 perch trees. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 7, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MIDDLEBURY SPUR PROJECT, MIDDLEBURY, ADDISON COUNTY, VERMONT. AN - 36342518; 12720 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the freight transportation system in the town of Middlebury, Addison County, Vermont is proposed. The project would provide improvements along US 7, local roads, and the mainline railroad from Middlebury to Pittsford in Rutland County. Material from the Omya marble quarry is currently trucked on US 7 and local roads, passing through historic Brandon Village, to a processing plant in Pittsford, 23 miles south of the quarry. US 7, which is the major north-south arterial in the western part of the state, has a high level of truck traffic. In Brandon Village, this has resulted in threats to pedestrian safety, impeded access to businesses and side streets, degraded historic buildings, and marred local visual aesthetics. A railroad, owned by the state of Vermont and considered underutilized, roughly parallels US 7 within the corridor. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS, along with five options associated with the build alternatives. Under the preferred alternative, the project would provide for a 3.3-mile rail spur to allow freight shippers to access the mainline of railway. The spur would begin at the quarry and extend south and then southwest toward US 7, roughly following the current Omya access road. A transloading facility would be constructed along the rail spur just south of the quarry to allow other shippers access to the tail spur. The alignment would cross Lower Foote Street about 25 feet below the existing elevation, severing Lower Foot Street. The alignment would then cross under a new US 7 vehicular bridge, turn westward toward the mainline, traversing mostly farmland, and cross Halladay Road at-grade or via a grade separation structure; alternatively, Halladay Road could be severed and relocated. Toward the western terminus, the alternative would turn south, bridging Creek Road and Otter Creek and connecting with the mainline heading south. Depending on the exact configuration and design of the spur, the cost of the preferred alternative ranges from $30.7 million to $35.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for the safe and efficient transportation of freight to and from Middlebury by providing better access to the rail system and removing freight trucks from the local roadway system. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisition would result in the displacement of 15 parcels encompassing 53 to 59 acres of land. Approximately 30.9 acres of open field habitat, including 3.17 acres of wet meadows, would be displaced, along with 0.7 acre of forested land and 26 acres of farmland. Rail structures would alter the high quality visual aesthetics within the corridor, which traverses scenic farmland. Rail operations would significantly increase intermittent noise levels within the corridor; noise levels would moderately exceed federal standards in the vicinity of a number of sensitive receptor sites, and five residential sites would be affected by excessive vibration. The spur would traverse 11 acres of archaeologically sensitive land. If the spur crosses Halladay Road via a grade separation structure, one historic house would be affected.

Preparation date: May 3, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MASONVILLE DREDGED MATERIAL CONTAINMENT FACILITY, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. AN - 36341203; 12721 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a dredged material containment facility (DCMF) in Baltimore City and Masonville, Maryland is proposed to receive dredged spoil from the Baltimore Harbor channels north of the North Point-Rock Point line. Both the Maryland Dredged Material Management Program and the Federal Dredged Material Management Program have recommended the development of several DCMFs for Baltimore Harbor dredged sediments during the next 20 years. The creation of the proposed MASONVILLE DCMF would represent one of three actions recommended by the Maryland body's executive committee. The facility was selected for development prior to the other two proposed facilities to meet short-term dredged material placement needs. A shortfall of dredged material placement capacity is excepted to occur in fiscal year 2007. This shortfall presents an urgent need to implement new options capable of accepting the annual volume of 1.5 million cubic yards of dredge spoil. The recommended alternative would provide for a DMCF at Masonville capable of containing 16 million cubic yards of material dredged from the Baltimore Harbor over a 20-year period. The proposed site lies within the estuarine reaches of the Patapsco River, which is generally considered to be part of Baltimore Harbor. More specifically, the site is located approximately four miles upstream of Key Bridge and approximately one mile downstream of Hanover Bridge on the southern shore of the river. Six DMCF alignments were originally developed based on engineering constraints to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternative. The site would accommodate annual placement of 500,000 to 1.0 million cubic yards. A June 2006 supplement to the May 2006 draft EIS evaluated an alternative source for sand borrow for construction of portions of the containment structure. It has been recommended that sand borrow be taken from the Seagirt Marine Terminal dredge spoil for use in construction of the DMCF. This final EIS retains all recommendations of the draft and draft supplemental EISs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new DCMF would provide for the disposal of contaminated spoil, unsuitable for ocean or bay disposal, from maintenance dredging within the Baltimore Harbor, allowing the harbor authorities to maintain the navigability of harbor channels and basins. The containment of contaminated dredge spoil would remove pollutants from the Chesapeake Bay estuary and prevent the future release of the contaminants into the water column. Creation of a fill at the site would provide an area for development of future facilities or estuarine conservation measures. Environmental remediation measures undertaken during the development of the site, including the removal of 25 derelict vessels and the capping of contaminated sediments at the site, would enhance the environmental condition of the immediate area and the water quality of the estuary in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The footprint of the recommended alternative would displace 141 acres, of which 10 acres would be shoreline or upland, 127 acres open water, one acre of wetland, and three acres unauthorized fill. The filling of open water would destroy benthic and finfish habitat. Site development and disposal activities over the 20-year life of the site would result in the release of sediment, including contaminated sediment, into the water column.

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

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

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

AN - 36340483; 12711 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi is proposed. The facilities to be put in place and operated by the applicant, Southeast Supply Header, LLC, would include 270 miles of pipeline and associated ancillary facilities capable of transporting up to 1.14 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. More specifically, the facilities would include 104 miles of 420 inch pipeline extending southeasterly from Richland Parish, Louisiana to Lawrence County, Mississippi; 165 miles of 36-inch pipeline extending southeasterly from Lawrence County to Mobile County, Alabama; 1.7 miles of six-, 16-, 20, 24, and 42-inch laterals in Jefferson Davis, Covington, and Forrest counties, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama; three new compressor stations, one each in Richland Parish Louisiana and Jefferson Davis and George counties, Mississippi; two booster stations, one each in Covington and Forrest counties, Mississippi; and other ancillary facilities, including 13 meter and regulator installations, 18 mainline valves, two tap valves, and three pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. If approved, the project would commence implementation in November 2007. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, aboveground facilities site alternatives, pipeline route alternatives and route variations, and deviations from the existing rights-of-way. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed pipeline facilities would provide new gas transportation capacity that would significantly enhance access to reliable onshore gas supplies to serve growing demand in the southeastern United States. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect soils, groundwater, surface water, wetlands, vegetation, fish and wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and ambient air quality and noise levels. The primary impacts would be related to wetlands, waterbodies, land use, and special interest areas. The pipeline would traverse more than 650 surface waterbodies. All but 31 of the crossings would be undertaken using conventional open-cut construction techniques; the remaining crossings would be made using horizontal directional drilling methods. Waterbodies to be crossed include nine major navigable streams, seven National Rivers Inventory-listed streams, five rivers and streams likely to contain habitat for federally protected species, and 10 impaired waterbodies. The pipeline would also traverse 267 wetlands, disturbing 238.8 acres and affecting special status wetlands in some cases. Approximately 102.8 acres of forested wetlands would be cleared during construction, resulting in their conversion into emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands. The project would cross recreational and special interest areas, including Conservation Reserve Program lands, a Nature Conservancy wetland mitigation site known as the Natchez Trace Parkway, Highway 90 (Old Spanish Trail), and lands administered by the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.

Preparation date: April 26, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AC TRANSIT EAST BAY BUS RAPID TRANSIT PROJECT IN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36345557; 12707 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of high-level bus rapid transit (BRT) improvements along a 17-mile corridor connecting the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, and San Leandro in the San Francisco Bay area of Alameda County, California is proposed. Proposed BRT improvements would include dedicated transit lanes within existing arterials, stations with canopies and passenger amenities, advanced traffic signal priority for buses, and modern safety, security, and communications systems. Low-flow articulated buses would stop at raised-platform stations, allowing level boarding and alighting through any door. Self-service, proof-of-payment fare collection would be instituted. BRT services could be operated along with limited local bus service or without local service support. The project corridor alignment would begin in downtown Berkeley near the Berkeley Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, proceed southward along the southside of the campus of the University of California at Berkeley, continue southward following Telegraph Avenue to downtown Oakland, and proceed through East Oakland primarily along International Boulevard, which becomes East Fourteenth Street in San Leandro, to a terminus at the BayFair BART or San Leandro BART station. Four build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The differences distinguishing the build alternatives involve the integration or nonintegration of local bus service with the BRT and the terminus in San Leandro. Depending on the build alternative considered, estimated capital investment costs of the project range from $310 million to $400 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT facilities would improve transit service and better accommodate the large existing ridership in the area, increase transit ridership by providing a viable and competitive alternative to automobile travel, improve and maintain the efficiency of transit service delivery within the corridor, and support local and regional goals with respect to enhancing transit-oriented development. The BRT project would substantially increase service frequencies, expand transit capacity, and enhance bus reliability and transit times in a high-demand, congested travel corridor serving large ethnic minority and low-income populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The BRT facilities would convert two traffic lanes to transit-only lanes in various locations, thereby reducing roadway capacity on the BRT alignment and diverting some vehicles to alternate routes. Of the 88 on- and off-alignment intersections evaluated, four to six locations in the morning peak hours and 21 to 26 intersections in the evening peak hours would experience a degradation in operating levels in excess of locally established thresholds. From 945 to 1,300 curbside parking spaces would be displaced; this constitutes 13 to 18 percent of the spaces surveyed. Commercial users would lose 190 to 310 parking spaces to achieve adequate spaces; hence on average parking occupancy would not exceed 85 percent of supply. The project would also require the relocation of utilities and the realignment or reconfiguration of bike lanes. The BRT facilities would lie within a seismically active area. Construction activities could be affected by 44 hazardous waste sites along the BRT alignment; in addition, there are 14 such sites within close proximity to the work corridor and 22 more sites within 0.25 mile. Noise levels along the corridor would exceed federal standards in one area in Berkeley under one of the candidate alignments. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Transit Law (49 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.)

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

The approach was initially designed to be used in the context of the Clean Water Act Section 404 Regulatory Program permit review sequence. During the Development Phase of the HGM Approach, four critical components are integrated in a Regional Guidebook for assessing the functions of a regional wetland subclass. Subsequently, during the Application Phase, end users, following the protocols outlined in the Guidebook, assess the functional capacity of selected wetlands. This Regional Guidebook (a) characterizes the tidal fringe wetlands of the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast (north-central Gulf of Mexico) reference domain, (b) provides a rationale to select functions for the regional tidal fringe subclass, (c) provides a rationale to select model variables and metrics, (d) provides a rationale to develop assessment models, (e) provides data from reference wetlands and documents their use in calibrating model variables and assessment models, and (f) outlines protocols for applying the functional indices to the assessment of tidal fringe wetland functions in the north-central Gulf of Mexico.

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

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

Preparation date: March 15, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE (BRAC) ACTIONS AT U.S. ARMY GARRISON ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, MARYLAND. AN - 36343173; 12695 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations and related U.S. Army actions at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Harford and Baltimore counties, Maryland is proposed. APG is situated on more than 72,000 acres in Harford County on the northwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The BRAC Commission's recommendations are intended to align U.S. base structure with the force structure needed over the next 20 years. The proposed action would involve realignment of assets and staff from a number of Army command level, administrative, and research and development activities to APG. Missions, activities, and assets to be realigned to APG would include the procurement management facilities and information systems, sensors, electronic warfare, and electronics research and development (R&D) and acquisitions facilities at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey; the sensors, electronics, and electronic warfare R&D facilities, information systems R&D, and chemical biological defense R&D component at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the human systems research facility at Fort Knox, Kentucky; the information system development and acquisitions facility at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; the Army Test and Evaluation Command at Park Center Four, Alexandria, Virginia; the non-medical chemical biological defense development and acquisition facility at Brooks City Base, San Antonio, Texas; the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Warfare at Falls Church, Virginia; the procurement management facilities for depot-level repairables at Fort Huachuca, Arizona; the Vehicle Technology Directorates of the Army Research Laboratory facilities at Langley, Virginia and Glenn, Ohio; and the medical chemical defense research facilities at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, District of Columbia. Realignments resulting in movement of APG missions and related facilities and personnel to other bases would include relocation of the Army Environmental Command to Fort Sam Houston, Texas; the Ordnance Center and School to Fort Lee, Virginia; and all headquarters and support activities of the Joint Cross Service Group mobilization functions to Fort Dix, New Jersey. The proposed action would include the demolition of some superannuated facilities and the construction of new facilities and renovation of existing facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers the No Action Alternative. The increase in population and number of functions at APG would result in increased consumption related to the installation's military and social functions, significantly enhancing the local economy. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would reposture the Army's global force; facilitate the ongoing transformation of U.S. forces to meet the challenges of the 21st Century; and restructure important support functions to capitalize on advances in technology and business practices. The proposed action would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary facilities would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: When completed, the realignment at APG would result in a population increase of 4,400 military, government civilian, and civilian contractor personnel, placing additional stress on local government and commercial services and utilities as well as increasing congestion affecting the regional transportation infrastructure. Renovation of certain buildings within APG would result in the alteration of structure potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

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

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

AN - 36344264; 12682 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a wetlands ecosystem restoration project at the site of 15,100 acres of former salt ponds located around the edge of San Francisco Bay in California is proposed. If approved the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project would be the largest wetlands restoration project on the West Coast of the United States. In 2003, Cargill Inc., the owner of the salt ponds, sold the ponds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with the Service acquiring 9,600 acres located at the western end of Dumbarton Bridge (the Ravenswood pond complex) and along the bay from Mountain View to Fremont (the Alviso pond complex), and the California Department of Fish and Game acquiring the remaining 5,500 acres just south of the eastern end of the San Mateo Bridge. The agencies prepared an initial stewardship plan for the ponds, which included the construction of water control structures that would allow the former salt ponds to be reconnected to the bay and to preserve their current value as habitat while a long-term restoration plan was developed for the acquired wetlands. The plan also included the restoration of an initial 479 acres of ponds in the far southeastern corner of the bay to full tidal inundation, which occurred in March 2006. This draft EIS evaluates three long-term alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would continue to manage the ponds under the initial stewardship plan for the project area. Each plan represents a progression toward a different long-term end-state. Alternative B and C represent "bookends," managing 50 percent of the ponds for restoration purposes and allowing the remainder of the ponds to revert to unmanaged tidal habitat. These long-term restoration alternatives include habitat management, flood management, and recreation and public access components. Under either action alternative, the ecosystem restoration would be completed 50 years following its initiation. Either alternative would follow an adaptive management approach. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would restore and enhance wetlands in south San Francisco Bay while providing for flood management and wildlife-oriented public access and recreation. More specifically, the project would promote restoration of native special-status plants and animals that depend on the wetland habitat; maintain current migratory bird species that use the salt ponds and associated structures; support an increased abundance and diversity of native species in various bay aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem components; maintain or improve existing levels of flood protection; provide public access and recreational opportunities compatible with wildlife and habitat goals; protect or improve existing levels of water and sediment quality; implement design and management measures to maintain or improve current levels of vector management, control predation on special status species, and manage the spread of non-native invasive species; and protect the services provided by existing infrastructure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Moderate mitigable impacts to water quality would be expected in the Eden Landing, Alviso, and Ravenswood areas; these impacts could be mitigated to less than significant. Disturbance of the salt ponds for management purposes would alter a site with potential historic significance. Pump operations would increase ambient noise levels periodically.

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

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

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

This innovative structure consists of four sloped granite blocks spaced across the Lamoille River upstream of the village and adjacent to a treed floodplain. It arrests ice runs, forms partially grounded jams, and retains these jams for hours to days. The measured ice-hydraulic characteristics of the breakup runs and resulting ice jams (e.g., wave celerities and amplitudes, porous-flow seepage coefficients) are similar to characteristics obtained from the l:10-scale model tests used to develop the structure. Seepage coefficients, and hence jam porosities, generally increase with increasing discharge, and only two breakup events have caused floodplain flow. Water temperatures of 0.1-0.3 degree C measured during a breakup event confirm that ice melting can account for the rate of porosity increase. Field and model data indicate that ice-jam holding time and jam-release discharge increase with increasing ice-piece thickness to a threshold of 6-7% of ICS gap width, beyond which no releases occur. Consistency between prototype and model ice-hydraulic characteristics and ice-holding capacity reinforce the conclusion that the sloped-block ICS can reliably retain ice jams during breakup events that pose the greatest flood threat: thick, strong ice, and large breakup waves. This ice-retention behavior can account for the observed reduction in ice-jam flooding in Hardwick during the past 11 seasons.

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

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

AN - 36347928; 12670 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the base management plan for Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Virginia is proposed to assist in the implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) recommendations and related U.S. Army actions. The fort is currently operating under a 1993 management plan, which reflected the post's transition from primarily a support and training facility to its role as an administrative center providing support to multiple organizations in the National Capital Region. The updated management plan would address professional/institutional and residential open space, supply, storage, and maintenance, unaccompanied personal housing, and the functions of the South Post Golf Course and the Army Community Hospital. Six groups are to be reassigned to Fort Belvoir, namely, 9,263 Washington Headquarters Services personnel, 8,500 National Geospatial Intelligence Agency personnel, 2,720 Army Lease personnel, 2,069 U.S. Medical Command (MEDCOM) personnel, 480 Program Executive Office, Enterprise Info Systems personnel, and 292 Missile Defense Agency Headquarters Command Center personnel. Implementation of the various aspects of the realignment would begin in Fiscal Year 2007 and continue through the end of Fiscal Year 2011. Four land use alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred land use alternative would provide for 6.2 million additional square feet (msf) of building space and 7.0 msf of parking structures. In addition, the on-post general support capabilities would be expanded to meet the needs of a larger population. Specific new facility plans include the 2.4-msf National Geospatial Intelligence Agency Administrative Facility, 2.2-msf Washington Headquarters Services Administrative Facility, 107,000-sf Missile Defense Agency Facility, a new 868,800-sf hospital, 16,000-sf dental clinic, 50,000-sf North Atlantic Regional Medical Center Headquarters, 22,500-sf Corps of Engineers Project Integration Facility, 25,000-sf of infrastructure control and access control facilities in three structures, 14,700-sf emergency services center, 10,000-sf network operations center, 20,000-sf U.S. Army Nuclear and Chemical Agency Support Facility, 24,430-sf child development center with a 24,430-sf outdoor area to accommodate 244 children, a 24,000-sf second child development center with a 40,300-sf outdoor area to accommodate 303 children, a 306,000-sf access road control point, 230,000-sf Army Material Command Facility, 290,000-sf Program Executive Office, Enterprise Info System Administrative Facility, 400-space structured parking facility, and a 52-space family travel camp for recreational vehicle use. In addition, the facilities plan would include the renovation of the McRee Barracks Complex, which includes six barracks. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary facilities at Fort Belvoir would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Base expansion would add significantly to local and regional traffic congestion within one of the most congested metropolitan areas in the nation. As a result, local air quality would decline significantly. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be lost due to construction, particularly in the southern portion of the base and in designated special natural areas. Approximately 113 acres of natural habitat would be destroyed, including several stands of mature oak trees. Visual aesthetics within the base would decline due to the loss of natural area. Approximately 8,140 tons of demolition and construction debris would be generated by the preferred alternative. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

Preparation date: February 23, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - APPALACHIAN CORRIDOR H, PARSONS-TO-DAVIS, TUCKER COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1996). AN - 36348390; 12668 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of approximately 10.47 miles of highway within Corridor H between Parsons and Davis in Tucker County, West Virginia is proposed in this supplement to the April 1996 final EIS on the construction of 100 miles of highway within the corridor from Elkins, West Virginia to just west of the Virginia state line. As a result of legal challenges a settlement agreement required the West Virginia Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration to alter the original 1996 construction plan with respect to highway alignment. This final supplemental EIS considers a No-Build Alternative, the originally preferred alternative (OPA), a revised version of the OPA, a variant of the OPA and 11 Blackwater Area avoidance alignments, five of which are evaluated in detail in the draft supplement. The revised OPA, which was developed after the publication of the draft supplement, is the preferred alternative. A truck route option was also considered as an addition to the originally preferred alternative and one of the avoidance alignments. The alignments vary in length from nine miles to 11.2 miles, while the truck route option would extend 1.8 miles. Under any of the primary build alternatives, the project would provide a four-lane, partially controlled access facility. Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $101.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a safe, high-speed, high-capacity connection between the project termini; promote economic development in the study area, reduce truck traffic on existing routes; and improve emergency response times and access to emergency facilities. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements, totaling 396 acres for the preferred alternative, would displace one residence, 11.13 acres of wetlands, 3.2 acres of floodplain, 124 acres of the Monongahela National Forest, and habitat for the West Virginia northern flying squirrel. The project could eliminate 892 to 1,400 wildlife habitat units and from 553 to 6,016 linear feet of stream. Habitat for the federally protected West Virginia northern flying squirrel would be affected, as would habitat within the Monongahela National Forest. One to six visually sensitive sites would be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Preparation date: February 22, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Remediation of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater using organic mulch permeable reactive barriers AN - 1328501992; 2013-032422 AB - Organic mulch is a complex organic material that is typically populated with its own consortium of microorganisms. The organisms in mulch breakdown complex organics to soluble carbon, which can then be used by these and other microorganisms as an electron donor for treating RDX and HMX via reductive pathways. A bench-scale treatability study with organic mulch was conducted for the treatment of RDX- and HMX-contaminated groundwater obtained from a plume at the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Pueblo, Colorado. The site-specific cleanup criteria of 0.55 ppb RDX and 602 ppb HMX were used as the logical goals of the study. Column flow-through tests were run to steady-state at the average site seepage velocity, using a 70%:30% (vol.:vol.) mulch:pea gravel packing to approach the formation's permeability. Significant results included: (1) Complete removal of 90 ppb influent RDX and 8 ppb influent HMX in steady-state mulch column effluent; (2) pseudo-first-order steady-state kinetic rate constant, k, of 0.20 to 0.27 h (super -1) based on RDX data, using triplicate parallel column runs; (3) accumulation of reduced RDX intermediates in the steady-state column effluent at less than 2% of the influent RDX mass; (4) no binding of RDX to the column fill material; and (5) no leaching of RDX, HMX or reduction intermediates from the column fill material. The results of the bench-scale study will be used to design and implement a pilot-scale organic mulch/pea gravel permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at the site. Abstract Copyright (2007) Elsevier, B.V.

AN - 36343513; 12663 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane divided highway, built to interstate standards, between the Interstate 40 (I-40)/I-440 interchange and an interchange at Highway 67/Highway 430 in Pulaski County, Arkansas, is proposed. Pulaski County is located in the center of the state at the junctions of I-40 and I-30 and US Highways 65 and 67/167. The county contains the largest metropolitan area in the state. The highway, which would extend 12.1 to 14.8 miles, would be constructed on a new alignment with an average rights-of-way width of 300 feet. The facility would have two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, separated by a variable-width median. Access would be fully controlled, with interchanges and grade separation structures utilized at selected locations. All seven alignment alternatives would share the same alignment of 6.9 miles. The remainder of the preferred alternative would extend 5.8 miles. Under the preferred alternative, the alignment would begin at the I-40/I-440 interchange, proceed to the northeast across Camp Joseph T. Robinson, loop around the North Little Rock metropolitan area, and end with an interchange at US 67/167, approximately 1.5 miles north of the Kiehl Avenue interchange. The eastern terminus would provide a direct connection with the previously approved North Belt Freeway connecting US 67/167 and I-440 at I-40. Interchanges would be provided at I-40/I-430, State Highway (SH) 365, Batesville Pike, SH 107, Brockington Road, and US 67/167. Grade separations would be provided at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and Oneida, as well as at six locations within Camp Robinson to allow for uninterrupted operations at that military facility. The estimated cost of the project is $276 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway would provide a direct east-west facility connecting the developing northeastern and northwestern portions of the county. Congestion would be decreased on existing streets and highways paralleling the corridor, particularly SH 107 and US 67/167, improving safety on these arterials. The highway would be consistent with the longstanding Pulaski Area Transportation and Land Use Plans by providing an east-west bypass of the metropolitan area, providing access to high-growth areas in the northern portion of the county, and serving as the northern link in the metro area's circumferential freeway. Provision of the highway would result in significant economic savings and the prevention of hundreds of accidents each year. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 26 residential owners, 11 residential tenants, and eight businesses. Five elderly households and three low-income households would be displaced. In addition, the highway would displace 151 acres within a military base, 442 acres of undeveloped agricultural land, 114 acres of prime farmlands, 84 acres of wetlands, and 99 acres of miscellaneous land. The highway would encroach on 13,600 linear feet of special flood hazard area and traverse 22 intermittent and two perennial streams. Numerous sensitive receptors along the new alignment would be exposed to noise levels in excess of federal standards. Hazardous waste sites to be encountered during construction would include five illegal dumps, two landfills, and two underground storage tanks. The project would impact 10 historic buildings, one historic bridge, three historic roads, and seven archaeological sites.

Preparation date: February 16, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - I-49 SOUTH, RACELAND TO THE WESTBANK EXPRESSWAY, ROUTE US 90, JEFFERSON, LAFORCHE, AND ST. CHARLES PARISHES, LOUISIANA. AN - 36348330; 12657 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 43 miles of Interstate 49 (I-49) along the US 90 corridor from Raceland to the Westbank Expressway in Jefferson, Lafourche, and St. Charles parishes, Louisiana is proposed. I-49 is intended to provide a transcontinental highway linking the coastal ports of Louisiana to the entire central United States and central Canada. In Louisiana, I-49 would connect I-10 in New Orleans with I-49 in Arkansas. I-49 is currently complete between Shreveport and Lafayette. I-49 South is the section between Lafayette and I-10 in new Orleans, which would follow the existing US 90 corridor. Six build alternatives that constitute the preferred alternative and a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. the preferred alternative would provide a four- to six-lane fully controlled access freeway, with frontage roads to allow for local access as appropriate. The project would include improvement of the crossing of Bayou Lafourche, a new crossing of Bayou Des Allemands; interchanges at the intersection of LA 1 and LA 308, LA 182, US 90, LA 635, the intersection of LA 3127 and I-310, Willowdale Boulevard, Lapalco Boulevard, US 90/US 90 Business to Huey P. Long Bridge, Segnette Boulevard, Victory Drive, and Ames Boulevard. Improvements would be made at the intersections of US 90 with LA 3127 and LA 18. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The I-49 project proposed would result in the improvement of vehicular access throughout the southern region of Louisiana and relieve congestion on I-10 between Lafayette and New Orleans. In addition to connecting the southern and northern parts of the state, the project would facilitate hurricane evacuation, increase the capacity of the corridor to accommodate traffic demand through 2030; and improve safety and efficiency by implementing higher road design standards. The economic potential of Louisiana would be enhanced through improved access to ports, airports, industrial areas, and tourist attractions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 15 residences, 12 businesses, all or part of 11 other properties, and 345 acres of prime or unique farmland. All 13 residential takings in St. Charles Parish would occur in neighborhoods occupied by minority residents. Approximately 603.3 acres of wetlands would be affected, and the corridor would traverse the 100-year floodplain. Avoidance of levees would present a design problem and would result in significant modification of the otherwise optimal alignment. The project would traverse habitat for the federally protected bald eagle. Construction workers would encounter 79 sites containing hazardous wastes or hazardous materials. The facility would cross Bayou Des Allemands, a state scenic stream, though special design features of the bridge would be implemented to make structure more visually pleasing.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - GULFPORT HARBOR NAVIGATION CHANNEL, HARRISON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (REPLACEMENT PAGES FOR THE FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF JUNE 1989). AN - 756825165; 13857-090053_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of dredging and dredged material disposal operations in relation to the improvement of the federal navigation channels in Gulfport Harbor on the Gulf of Mexico in Harrison County, Mississippi is proposed in this final supplement to the June 1989 final EIS on the navigational channel. Due to channel capacity limitations, the Mississippi State Port Authority has documented frequent occurrences of ships having to delay entry into the harbor. Likewise, vessels inside the harbor often must wait while inbound vessels enter the harbor. These conditions have resulted in significantly adverse financial losses to the skippers operating out of Gulfport. This supplemental EIS considers a No Action Alternative and an alternative involving widening the federal channels to the federally authorized dimensions of 300 feet for the Mississippi Sound Channel and 400 feet for the Bar Channel. Deepening the channels is not considered. The Sound Channel would be widened from the present 220-foot width over its entire 11-mile length from the inner portion of the Bar Channel portion of the Ship Island Pass Channel to the Turning Basin at Gulfport Harbor, while the Bar Channel would be widened from the present 300-foot width over its entire 10-mile length from the 38-foot bathymetry in the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi Sound to the point in the Sound at which the channel meets the Sound Channel. Sediment would be removed from the channels using hopper, mechanical, and hydraulic cutterhead dredge. Dredge spoil would be disposed in a littoral disposal area southeast of Cat Island, in the new Gulfport Offshore Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), and in the existing ODMDS located on the western side of the navigation channel. This attachment to the final supplemental EIS provides errata, in the form of replacement pages, for the final supplement. Most of the replacement pages consist of agency and public correspondence with respect to the project, including responses to public and outside agencies. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The enlarged channels would provide for safer, less restricted navigation into and out of Gulfport Harbor, resulting in significant cost savings for vessel operators and reducing the possibility of losses of life and property due to vessel collisions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposal would result in the release of sediments, including potentially contaminated sediments, into the water column and the smothering of sessile benthos; the impacts would be temporary. The hydraulics and bathymetry of the Mississippi Sound would change slightly due to the wider channels and altered bottom topography along the channels and at the disposal sites.

Preparation date: February 9, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - EAST TEXAS TO MISSISSIPPI EXPANSION PROJECT, EASTERN TEXAS, NORTHERN LOUISIANA, AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI (DOCKET NOS. CP06-446-000, PF06-17-000, PF06-23-000). AN - 36342586; 12650 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi is proposed. The applicant, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP, wishes to transport natural gas from production fields in eastern Texas to markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwestern, Northeastern, and Southeastern United States. The system contemplated by the applicant, would include 240 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending eastward from DeSoto Parish in Louisiana to Simpson County in Mississippi; 3.3 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Gulf South's existing Carthage Junction compressor station in Panola County, Texas to interconnects with existing natural gas facilities within Panola County; new compressor stations, one each in Ouachita and Madison parishes, Louisiana; modifications to existing compressor stations at Carthage Junction in Panola County, Hall Summit in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and McComb in Walthall County, Mississippi; and ancillary facilities including six meter and regulator facilities, 11 mainline valves, nine side valves, and six pig launcher and/or receiver facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, alternative energy sources, system alternatives, energy conservation technologies and practices, a major pipeline route alternative and minor route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would be capable of 1.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the applicant's target markets, improving the reliability of natural gas delivery in those markets and helping to reduce the dependency of the United States on foreign sources of energy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would cross 848 surface waterbodies and 301 wetlands, disturbing approximately 114.9 acres of wetlands. Conventional open-cut construction would be used to cross all but 64 of these waterbodies, which would be crossed using horizontal directional drilling. Special-status and high-quality wetlands , including wetlands in the National Resource Conservation Service-administered Wetland Reserve Program and Prior Converted Wetlands program, as well as several high-quality forested wetlands, would be affected by construction and operation of the system. Numerous acres of forested wetlands would be cleared and converted to emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands and maintained in those states within the permanent rights-of-way during operation. The pipelines would pass in the vicinity of several recreational and special interest areas, including the Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, the Pearl and Black rivers, Black Lake Bayou and Saline Bayou, the Natchez Trace Parkway, and the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge.

AN - 36343293; 12647 AB - PURPOSE: The development and operation of an open-pit taconite (iron oxide) mine, adjacent stockpile areas, and associated facilities at a site near Nashwauk, Minnesota on the Mesabi Iron Range are proposed. In addition to the mine and the stockpile areas, the applicant, Minnesota Steel Industries, LLC (MSI), would provide a crusher, concentrator, pellet plant, plant for producing direct reduced iron, and a steel mill consisting of two electric arc furnaces, two ladle furnaces, two thin slab casters, a hot strip rolling mill, and a new tailings basin on the site of the former Butler facility tailings basin. Existing haul roads would be utilized to transport overburden, waste rock, and lean ore to the stockpile area and taconite ore from the mine to the crusher. Under the proposal, MSI would reactivate the former Butler Taconite mine and tailings basin, which was active from 1967 to 1985. Viable ore remains on-site. MSI's proposal would combine ore processing, direct reduce iron (DRI) production, and steel-making into an integrated facility to provide steel for domestic and world markets. The new technology to be employed takes advantage of efficiencies gained by having a continuous flow of materials, keeping the material at an elevated temperature throughout the process, and eliminating multiple transportation steps. Key project facilities would include the open-pit mine, capable of providing 12.1 million metric tons of taconite ore per year; a crusher/concentrator plant with an associated tailings basin, capable of producing 3.8 million metric tons of concentrate per year; a pelletizer capable of producing 3.8 million metric tons of oxide pellets per year for use as feedstock for DRI production, or sold; a DRI facility capable of producing 2.8 million metric tons of iron pellets per year for direct feed for steel production; and electric arc furnaces, ladle metallurgy furnace, slag processor, and caster to produce 2.5 million metric tons per year of steel slabs for direct shipment or for rolling to produce hot-rolled steel. Under normal operations, approximately 3.4 tons of crude ore would be converted to 1.35 tons of taconite pellets, which in turn, would be converted to 1.12 tons of DRI pellets and one ton of finished product. The operation would obtain its magnetic taconite ore from a horizon within the Lower Cherty member of the Biwabik Iron Formation; the inferred ore reserves at the site are estimated at 1.4 billion tons, which translates to 100 years of reserves based on the proposed production capacity. In addition to the proposed action, this EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, alternative sites, alternative technologies, modified designs and layouts, modified scales and magnitudes of operation, and alternatives that incorporate mitigation measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would combine modern, commercially proven technologies to allow for production of steel from taconite ore in less than 48 hours entirely within the project site. The project would integrate the steps necessary to make low-cost, high-quality steel at a currently closed taconite site. The reactivated facility would employ 700 workers for production, support, and administration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the existing wildlife habitat within the mining and waste storage site would be disturbed or destroyed. Mine and mill development would displace wetlands, and additional acreage would be hydrologically impacted though not displaced. Deepwater habitats present within the former pits would be temporarily affected by dewatering from the proposed project, and dewatering would have minor impacts on aquifers in the area. Dust and noise levels would be significant around the site. Water pollutants, including mercury, would be released into surface and subsurface flows, but no violations of water quality standards are expected.

Preparation date: February 8, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US HIGHWAY 89, BROWNING TO HUDSON BAY DIVIDE, GLACIER COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36342510; 12637 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 25.5-mile segment of US 89 from its junction with US 2 to the Hudson Bay Divide south of Saint Mary in Glacier County, Montana is proposed. The US Browning to Hudson Bay Divide project initially considered improvement of a network of roadways that perform some of the transportation functions that might otherwise be performed by US 89 if it met current roadway standards. State and federal authorities concluded that the most pressing need for roadway improvements within this roadway network exists in the transportation corridor between the Saint Mary-Babb area, including points north of Babb and west of Saint Mary, and the Browning area, including points south and east of Browning. US 89 and Duck Lake Road function as the primary transportation links between these two areas. Hence, the project has focused on potential improvements to US 89 between Hudson Bay Divide and Browning as well as improvements to Duck Lake Road between US 89 south of Babb and Browning. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative A) and two widening alternatives, are considered in the final EIS. Alternative B would provide for a 32-foot cross-section, while alternative C would provide for a cross-section of 36 feet. The EIS also analyses a Duck Lake Road Option, which would consist of improvements in three areas along Duck Lake Road as an alternate truck route for US 89; this option could be implemented under any alternative. Alternative C, with the Duck Lake Road Option, has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a facility that meets current design standards, enhancing safety and highway operations within the corridor. The highway would particularly enhance the cultural resources and economic opportunities of the Blackfeet Nation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 146 acres of wildlife habitat and increase fragmentation of forested habitat in the area and require the relocation of one residence and the acquisition of two areas of unimproved lands encompassing 472 acres. Extensive earthwork would be required along the corridor. The project would displace 19.8 acres of wetlands. Approximately 1,300 linear feet of South Fork Cut Bank Creek would be relocated. Bald eagle, grizzly bear, and bull trout, all of which are federally protected species, could be affected somewhat. Two historic bridges and the Blackfeet Highway, also an historically significant resource, would be affected, and several archaeologically significant cloth-offering sites would be disturbed. Highway structures would diminish the visual quality of the rural area.

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: January 29, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KINDER MORGAN LOUISIANA PIPELINE PROJECT (FERC DOCKET NO. CP06-449-000). AN - 36342516; 12625 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southeastern Louisiana are proposed . The applicant, Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC, proposed to provide for 132 miles of 42-inch pipeline beginning within the Sabine Pass Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal in Cameron Parish and extending to the Columbia Gulf Transmission interstate pipeline in Evangeline Parish (Leg 1); 1,22 miles of 26-inch pipeline extending from the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal to an interconnection with the existing Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America pipeline just south of State Highway 82 in Cameron Parish (Leg 2); 2.3 miles of 24-inch pipeline extending from Leg 1 milepost 110.6 to FGT Company's Compressor Station No. 7 near the town of Williams; and associated mainline block valves, metering, tie-in, and pigging facilities. The facilities would have the capacity to deliver at least 3.4 decatherms per day of regasified natural gas from the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal to the national pipeline and underground storage grid. Construction of legs 1 and 2 would commence in November 2007, and construction of the FTG Lateral would begin in October 2008. Leg 2 and the interconnects would be completed by April 2008 and brought into service by October 1, 2008. Leg 1, the FGT Lateral, and their interconnects would be completed b y November 2008 and brought into service by April 1, 2009. In addition to the proposed action, this EIS considers four major route alternatives and several local alternatives, none of which offer significant environmental advantages over the proposed route POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline system would deliver gas to 10 existing interstate pipelines and one existing intrastate pipeline via 14 interconnect installations with a total take-away capacity of 4.0 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and a total downstream interconnect capacity of 11.4 Bcf/d. The availability of such broad access to the markets in the Gulf Coast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, and Southeast, through multiple pipeline connections, would allow shippers to redirect supplies as pipeline capacity was made available and in response to market dynamics. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 3,030.7 acres, most of which would be agricultural land, open land (consisting of rangeland, non-forested wetlands, transitional areas, and sandy areas), and open water. Operating facilities would displace 840.9 acres including 821.7 acres of permanent rights-of-way, 12.3 acres of aboveground facilities, and 6.9 acres of permanent access roads. The pipelines would cross 310 waterbodies, including Sabine Lake, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Calcasieu River; to minimize impacts to these waterbodies, 18 horizontal directional drill operations across 24 waterbodies would be undertaken and 147 waterbodies would be crossed by bore and two by flume to allow installation to pass harmlessly under the surface flows. Open-cut construction across approximately 13 miles of Sabine Lake would degrade water quality during construction due to sediment suspended in the water column. The construction rights-of-way would affect 352 wetlands encompassing 504.2 wetland acres; 99.5 acres of these wetlands are considered essential fish habitat. Wildlife surveys indicate that construction activities could temporarily impact five sensitive species of sea turtle, and surveys have yet to be completed with respect to the red-cockaded woodpecker.

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

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

AN - 36382742; 13142-080034_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated.

AN - 36381988; 13142-080034_0003 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent. This final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction; maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and they are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Cost of the proposed action alternative is estimated at $228 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing stormwater runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedances would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

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

Preparation date: January 22, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DAM SAFETY ASSURANCE PROGRAM EVALUATION REPORT, DOVER DAM, CITY OF DOVER, TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO. AN - 36342809; 12616 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to Dover Dam near the city of Dover, Tuscarawas County, Ohio is proposed. The dam, located on the Tuscarawas River approximately 3.5 miles northeast of the city of Dover completed in 1937, consists of a concrete gravity dry dam with a maximum flood control pool elevation of 916 feet above mean sea level. The structure is 820 feet in length and 83 feet in height, with a drainage area of 1,397 square miles. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway in the center channel. Outlet works are located at the base of the spillway section and 18 gate-controlled sluices in sets of six are situated at three different levels. The stilling basin is divided into three elevations, separated by walls, which corresponds to the three levels of the conduits of sluices. This high-hazard dam does not conform to current design standards related to stability and sliding during a probable maximum flood. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1, which is the recommended Alternative, would involve raising the existing non-overflow sections with concrete parapet walls, installation of anchors in the spillway and development of a stilling basin to address inadequate bedrock foundation and potential for sliding. Alternative 2 would modify the existing non-overflow section of the dam to withstand overtopping as well as the installation of anchors in the spillway and development of the stilling basin proposed under alternative 1. Costs of Alternatives 1 and 2 are estimated at $108.5 million and $116.7 million, respectively; respective benefit-cost ratios are estimated at 2.6 and 2.4. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended alternative would provide a cost-effective, environmentally sound means of upgrading Dover Dam to meet current design standards and address stability issues associated with the dam's inadequate bedrock foundation. This would provide adequate flood protection to downstream areas as well as project-related facilities, including the adjacent park and Ohio Route 800. Either alternative would provide annual benefits valued at $15.9 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation under the recommended alternative would result in the loss of 2.6 acres of riparian forest. Instream impacts could affect endangered species of mussels during construction. Abutment decks would permanently obstruct upstream viewing of the river, and the construction of walls across Route 800 and on abutment decks would significantly mar area visual aesthetics. Modification of the dam would involve alteration of a site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

Preparation date: January 19, 2007 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WISCONSIN STATE HIGHWAY 15, NEW LONDON TO GREENVILLE, OUTAGAMIE COUNTY, WISCONSIN. AN - 36342472; 12614 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and realignment of 11 miles off State Highway (SH) 15 from US 45 in the city of New London to just west of the town of Greenville and SH 76 in Outagamie County, Wisconsin is proposed. SH 15 is a rural highway transitioning to a commuter route between New London and Appleton in northeastern Wisconsin. The village of Hortonville, which lies close to the center for the study corridor, has been experiencing increased traffic congestion for several years. As development continues in the region, traffic volumes will continue to increase. The existing two-lane roadway would fail to meet the need to provide for a smooth, safe flow of traffic, particularly within the village limits of Hortonville. Safety concerns include restricted sign distances at several intersections, limited passing opportunities, and numerous access points that contribute to poor traffic operations. The proposed action would expand SH 15 to provide a four-lane facility, with the option for a bypass of Hortonville. The corridor has been divided into two sections. The western section begins at the intersection of US 45 and SH 15 in New London and continues 3.4 miles southeastward to the intersection with County T and Givens Road. The eastern section continues 7.3 miles southeastward from the County T/Givens Road intersection though Hortonville to a point east of Julius Road in Greenville. Four eastern section alternatives and two western section alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Cost of both western section alternatives are estimated at $26.2 million; cost of the eastern section alternatives range from $40.3 million to $51.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expanded facility would provide for an efficient transportation system for the SH 15 corridor, allowing it to accommodate present and long-term traffic needs while minimizing disturbance to the corridor environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the western section would displace 122 or 134 acres, including 0.9 to 13 acres of wetlands, 52 to 76 acres of farmland, 20 to 22 acres of upland habitat, and 37 to 47 acres of developed and undeveloped urban land. One or five farms would be affected. One western alternative would displace 20 buildings, including nine residences, and the western segment would displace seven or 11 commercial units. Thirteen or 21 archaeological sites would be disturbed. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at seven or 11 sensitive receptor sites. Western alternatives would require special provisions to deal with six or 11 hazardous waste sites. Rights-of-way requirements for the eastern section would displace 305 to 409 acres, including 1.3 to 30.7 acres of wetlands, 94 to 254 acres of farmland, 30 to 69 acres of upland habitat, and 99 to 179 acres of developed and undeveloped urban land. Three to 14 farms would be affected, with three to 66 farm buildings being replaced and three to 47 housing units taken. Up to 19 commercial units would be displaced. One to three historic properties and three to 2 archaeological sites would be disturbed or displaced. Traffic-generated noise levels along the eastern section would exceed federal standards at six to 108 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter eight to 36 contaminated sites. Floodplain encroachment would result on all but one western and one eastern alternative, and all alternatives would traverse streams, with two to five streams being crossed.

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

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

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

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

AN - 36347458; 12961 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of emergency measures at the Wolf Creek Dam and Lake Cumberland near Jamestown, Kentucky is proposed. The high head dam creating Lake Cumberland is located near Jamestown, Kentucky at Cumberland River mile 460.9. The current authorized project purposes include flood control, hydropower generation, recreation, fish and wildlife management, and water quality enhancement. Although not specifically authorized for the purpose, the dam also makes some ancillary contribution to downstream navigation, particularly on the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Similarly, though water supply is not a dedicated purpose of the project, there are several water supply intakes that draw from the lake. The dam was built on highly erodible karst geology using accepted engineering practices of the day. Since the 1960s, seepage through the dam's foundation has been a concern. Over the last 30 years, periodic repairs on the dam have ceased being effective. In January 2007, due to the risk imposed on downstream populations by the dam's instability, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lowered the target pool elevation of Lake Cumberland from a maximum level of 760 feet above mean sea level (MSL) at full flood pool to 680 feet above MSL, while repairs take place over a number of years. This draft EIS considers five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), to address the problems with the dam. Action alternatives include would involve lowering the pool elevation as noted above, implementation of an interim operating pan for the Cumberland River Reservoir System, construction of a new roller compacted concrete dam to replace the existing dam, and consideration of other alternative pool elevations, including extreme elevation changes that could occur during the five- to seven-year dam repair period. Alternative lake elevations are 650 feet, 680 feet, and 685 to 700 feet above MSL. The recommended plan would be to operate the dam at 680 feet above MSL. To mitigate the impacts of lowering the elevation of the lake, the dam operating plan would include blending turbine and sluice gate discharges to raise dissolved oxygen levels in dam releases; supplementation of water flows from the reservoir with flows from other tributary lakes; spillage of water through the trainer gates of mainstem projects if water quality decreases during summer months; reduction of recreational user fees and modification of recreational facilities to permit access to the lowered lake; installation of a supplemental tailwater intake for the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery; and implementation of a program to mitigate impacts to properties listed in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic places POSITIVE IMPACTS: The emergency measures and repair program would significantly reduce the risk of dam failure, a catastrophe that would take the lives of more than 100 persons and result in economic losses of over $2.0 billion. Water quality enhancement measures would help maintain water quality in the lake and along downstream reaches of the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers. Other mitigation measures would ensure recreationists reasonable access to lake-oriented opportunities, allow the fish hatchery to continue operating at full capacity, and prevent significant damage of historically significant sites and structures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lake drawdown would result in the creation of mudflats and the loss of lakeside wetland habitat and wetland habitat along lake tributaries and river as well as along the river downstream of the lake. The lake fishery would decline in value while the emergency measures are in place. Downstream water quality will decline somewhat, particularly during summer months, reducing it's fish carrying capacity. Structures around the lake, including historically significant structures, would be damaged due to lake fluctuations. The hydroelectric generation and flood control capacity of the dam would decline significantly. All other purposes of the dam would be curtailed somewhat.

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

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

Mesocosms were prepared using soil contaminated with hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) at 38, 11, and 4 mg/kg, respectively, in order to evaluate removal using several alkaline materials. Alkaline application methods examined included topical, well-mixed, and aqueous. These studies were supported by microbiological and toxicological assessments. Well-mixed soil-lime systems yielded high soil pH (> 12) and complete removal of TNT, RDX, and HMX from both soil and leachate by 2, 4, and 18 weeks, respectively. The pH of soil and leachate of topical application systems remained similar to the control (pH 5-6). The occurrence of RDX degradation products and anoxic leachate indicated that anaerobic biodegradation had occurred in several of the topical application mesocosms and contributed to explosive removal. The efficacy of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction in soil is indicated by the initial soil pH, and the degree of base saturation.

Hydrogen has been shown to support the anaerobic transformation of these explosives. We investigated ethanol and propylene glycol as electron donors for providing syntrophically produced H sub(2) for stimulating the anaerobic biodegradation of explosives in contaminated soil. The study was conducted using anoxic microcosms constructed with slurries of the contaminated soil and groundwater. The addition of 5 mM ethanol and propylene glycol enhanced the biodegradation of RDX and HMX relative to the control bottles. Ethanol was depleted within about 20 days, resulting in the transient formation of hydrogen, acetate, and methane. The hydrogen headspace concentration increased from 8 ppm to 1838 ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. Propylene glycol was completely degraded after 15 days, forming hydrogen, propionate, and acetate as end-products. The hydrogen headspace concentrations increased from 56 ppm to 628 ppm before decreasing to background concentrations. No methane formation was observed during the incubation period of 48 days. Our findings indicate the addition of ethanol and propylene to the aquifer slurries increased the hydrogen concentrations and enhanced the biotransformation of RDX and HMX in the explosive-contaminated soil.

These studies were conducted as part of the Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce, an investigation of environmental impacts originating from the failure of the hurricane protection system during Hurricane Katrina. This paper presents data regarding the effects of pumped floodwaters on sediment chemistry, toxicity, and benthic invertebrate assemblages near pumping stations that discharged floodwaters into marshes near Chalmette and Violet, Louisiana. Chemical contamination of sediments was observed and varied among sample locations (e.g., outfall locations, wastewater treatment plant, canals, and wetlands); however, trends in the chemistry data were not always consistent with bioassay results. A comparison of the sediment chemistry data from this study with three other studies reporting concentrations of chemicals in sediments within the city of New Orleans suggested that sediments and associated contaminants present within the levees were not pumped into the marsh in appreciable quantities.

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

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

Activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) was used to adsorb methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) from air streams. Direct electrothermal heating was then used to desorb the vapor to generate select vapor concentrations at 500 ppmv and 5000 ppmv in air. Dynamic-tracking desorption was also achieved with carefully controlled yet variable vapor concentrations between 250 ppmv and 5000 ppmv, while also allowing the flow rate of the carrier gas to change by 100%. These results were also compared to conditions when recovering MEK as a liquid, and using microwaves as the source of energy to regenerate the adsorbent to provide MEK as a vapor or a liquid.

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

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

Watersheds in portions of these counties have developed in as much as 1,800 feet of carbonate bedrock. Harvey, Skelton and Miller, in their 1983 U.S. Geological Survey Water Resource Report, demonstrated that some tributaries in the Grandglaize Creek watershed lose all surface runoff from rainfall events of as much as 2 to 3 inches, over an area of 100 square miles, to a highly interconnected karst groundwater-surface water drainage system. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate whether channel losses in karst surface water-groundwater systems are sufficient to lower the 1% probability flood discharge and change the mapped 1% flood plain in the stream valleys. This will be done by applying a range of channel loss rates from known karst surface water-groundwater systems to existing hydraulic models of streams in the Grandglaize Creek watershed. Channel losses are currently neglected in these models. A number of large tributaries in the Grandglaize Creek watershed are classified as losing streams by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Stream channels developed in these tributary valleys are evidence that surface flow does occurs in response to larger precipitation events even though the channels carry no discharge during moderate precipitation events. This suggests that large flows temporarily overwhelm the underlying drainage system and result in brief flash floods. Since data on channel losses are generally unavailable because data collection of this complexity is beyond the scope of county-wide, approximate flood plain mapping studies, we typically make a conservative assumption that channel losses are negligible compared to the volume of flow from the 1% probability flood event. The current county-wide flood plain mapping presents an opportunity to asses the validity of this assumption. Under this study, the authors will apply a simple HEC-RAS hydraulic model, and data available from the USGS Water Resource Report and data from similar karst systems in Missouri, to run a range of channels loss rates and assess whether channel losses are sufficient to change the 1% probability storm discharge and impact the flood plain mapping in the Grandglaize watershed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: December 21, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - HERBERT HOOVER DIKE, REACHES 2 AND 3 MAJOR REHABILITATION EVALUATION REPORT, LAKE OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF JULY 1999). AN - 36343623; 12576 AB - PURPOSE: The rehabilitation of the Reaches 2 and 3 of the 143-mile Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) around Lake Okeechobee in southern Florida is proposed. The study area around the lake includes parts of Glades, Hendry, Martin, Okeechobee, and Palm Beach counties. The HHD was originally constructed as a series of embankments by local interests, circa 1915, to provide flood protection and irrigation water. The embankments were improved to the current levee system by the Corps of Engineers during the 1930s and 1940s. Major culvert modifications were made in the 1970s. Since then, only as-needed repairs have been made to the system. Recent high-water events and major boils and pipings around the dike have suggested the need for major rehabilitation. The Corps is preparing a series of Major Rehabilitation Evaluation Reports (MRER) to document seepage and stability concerns and provide rehabilitation options. The initial MRER and draft EIS of July 1999 focused on the southeastern portion of the HHD (Reach 1) and considered five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative for rehabilitation. This draft supplement to the 1999 draft EIS addresses eastern section of Reach 2 and portions of Reach 3. Following the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers reconsidered the design of the Reach 1 project and made substantial changes in that design. The revised plan for Reach 1 formed the basis for the planning for rehabilitation of Reaches 2 and 3. Both plans require the acquisition of additional real estate to allow for expansion of the seepage berms. However, land acquisition could be an extended process; hence the Corps of Engineers has decided to proceed with those elements of the plan that can be implemented within the footprint of the existing dikes in Reaches 2 an 3. The recommended plan for Reach 3 and the eastern portion of Reach 2 would provide for the construction of a seepage berm extending to the far side of the existing toe ditch at the edge of the existing project rights-of-way; the toe ditch would be filled. In addition, a seepage cutoff wall would be provided in the center of the dike. The design for the western portion of Reach 2 would be modified slightly so that, instead of a toe ditch outside the levee, a borrow canal is present. The western portion of Reach 2 is characterized by a clay layer found approximately 20-40 feet below the surface; such a clay layer is not present along Reach 3 or the eastern section of Reach 2. Tying the cutoff wall along the western section of Reach 2 into the clay layer would result in less seepage than would be allowed by the cutoff wall alone. This would enable construction of a smaller seepage berm than is necessary in Reach 3 or eastern Reach 2. The berm would extend only to the canal edge adjacent to the dike; the canal would not be filled. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The implementation of the project would improve slope stability and seepage control and reduce the probability of a breach along the two improved reaches. The overall rehabilitation project, or which the proposal at hand would be one component, would protect life, property, and wildlife habitat within the floodplain controlled by the HHD. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would have minimal adverse effects on area hydrology, water supply, water quality, and water management. Alteration of local hydrology could affect farmers if the availability of irrigation water were affected. Excavation and fill of low quality wetlands would be required along the landward toes of the dike sections. The foraging habitat for wading birds, including federally protected species, along the landward toe ditches would be altered, and reptiles, amphibians, and fish utilizing these ditches would be lost during construction. Aesthetics and recreational resources would be impaired during construction.

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

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

Preparation date: December 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PINEDALE ANTICLINE OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF OCTOBER 1999). AN - 36343257; 12565 AB - PURPOSE: The drilling of new natural gas exploration and development wells on a leased 198,034-acre tract within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) of Sublette County, Wyoming is proposed. The PAPA operators include Alpine Gas Company, Anschultz Exploration Corporation, BP America Production Company, HS Resources, Inc., McMurry Oil Company, Questar Exploration & Production, Ultra Resources, Inc., Yates Petroleum Corporation, Western Gas Resources, Inc., Jonah Gas Gathering Company, and other companies (collectively referred to as the PAPA Operators). The PAPA is located within Townships 29 through 33 North, Ranges 107 through 110 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The area is accessed by U.S. Highway 191 and Wyoming Highway 351. Access to the interior of the PAPA is provided by an existing county and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) road network developed to service homes and ranches located along the Green and New Fork rivers, live stock operators, recreational users, and prior and on-going drilling and production activities. There are currently 457 producing wells on 322 well pads in the PAPA. Collectively, the Pinedale Anticline Operators would continue to explore for natural gas and, where discoveries occurred, the development of gas resources by drilling up to 295 wells on 26 well pads during 2006. Road miles within the PAPA would increase from 176.5 miles to 182.4 miles by the end of 2006. A total of 4,399 additional wells and the associated gathering pipelines and other ancillary facilities would be developed over the life of the PAPA development plan. Drilling estimates were based reasonable expectations by the operators, BLM, and the state that the "tight-gas" formation in the area could be developed at spacing levels of one every 40 acres of 16 wells per square mile. This draft supplement to the October 1999 final EIS analyzes three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative and the applicants' proposal. The draft supplement was required because the long-term plan of the applicants has changed significantly since the October 1999 record of decision that accompanies the final EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to helping meet national demands for natural gas, the project would provide employment for local and regional workers and generally enhance the county economy, which is highly dependent on revenues from oil and gas. Annual property tax paid on production from wells in the PAPA would generate substantial revenue for Sublette County and for the Wyoming School Foundation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New developments would disturb 12,2768 acres of soils and vegetation, which would conflict with the goals of the Sublette County Resource Conservation Zoning District and severely degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Project developments would also displace habitat for sage grouse and bald eagle nesting habitat and endangered fish species inhabiting the Colorado River could be affected by water depletions. Drilling in critical big game winter habitat would occur, though the affected land will be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1. Forage capacity for livestock would be lost due to disturbance of soils and vegetation. Possibly extensive development in the vicinity of residential areas near Pinedale and along the New Fork River could have significant impacts, including exposure to benzene. Developments could also affect recreational land uses in the area. Visually sensitive areas, including mesa land, could be affected by drilling and related structures. The overall integrity and setting of the Lander Trail would be significantly affected if developments in the vicinity of the trail were extensive. Extensive development would create challenges for protecting water quality and floodplain land, including wetland, associated with the New Fork and Green rivers. Noise levels within 2,800 feet of drilling sites would exceed federal standards.

AN - 68288429; 17220096 AB - Few studies have determined the toxicity and bioaccumulation potential of explosive compounds in freshwater fish. In the present study, fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to a range of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) concentrations (0.44-44 micromol/L [0.1-10 mg/L] and 4.4-22.0 micromol/L [1.0-5.0 mg/L] in 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively). Median lethal concentrations of 11.93 micromol/L (2.7 mg/L; 95% confidence limit [CL], 10.29-13.83 micromol/L) and 9.68 micromol/L (2.20 mg/L; 95% CL, 9.17-10.22 micromol/L) were calculated in the 4- and 10-d experiments, respectively, and median lethal body residue of 101.0 micromol/kg (95% CL, 86.0-118.7 micromol/kg) was calculated in 4-d experiments. To study bioaccumulation, fish were exposed to 4.4 micromol/L (1 mg/L) of TNT for 12 h. Rapid bioaccumulation of TNT occurred within the first 10 min of exposure (ku = 30.4 L/kg/ h). Elimination of sigmaTNT (molar sum of TNT and degradation products 2- and 4-aminodinitrotoluenes) was fast, with an elimination rate (ke) of 2.24/h and a short half-life (0.31 h). The bioconcentration factors determined using 6-h mean tissue and water concentrations of sigmaTNT were 8.40 and 4.68 L/kg for the uptake experiment and the uptake portion of the elimination experiments, respectively. To determine the target organ for TNT in fish, juvenile fathead minnow were exposed to 2.2 micromol/L (0.5 mg/L) of [14C]TNT for 10 d. Radiolabeled compounds primarily bioaccumulated in the visceral tissues and spleen in comparison to gill, brain, muscle, and remainder tissue groups. The present study demonstrates the low bioaccumulation potential and rapid uptake of TNT in the fathead minnow.

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

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

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

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

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

Preparation date: November 22, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Field-scale demonstration of induced biogeochemical reductive dechlorination at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware AN - 1316372229; 2013-023821 AB - Biogeochemical reductive dechlorination (BiRD) is a new remediation approach for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The approach stimulates common sulfate-reducing soil bacteria, facilitating the geochemical conversion of native iron minerals into iron sulfides. Iron sulfides have the ability to chemically reduce many common CAH compounds including PCE, TCE, DCE, similar to zero valent iron (Fe (super 0) ). Results of a field test at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware, are given in this paper. BiRD was stimulated by direct injection of Epson salt (MgSO (sub 4) .7H (sub 2) O) and sodium (L) lactate (NaC (sub 3) H (sub 5) O (sub 3) ) in five injection wells. Sediment was sampled before and 8 months after injection. Significant iron sulfide minerals developed in the sandy aquifer matrix. From ground water analyses, treatment began a few weeks after injection with up to 95% reduction in PCE, TCE, and cDCE in less than 1 year. More complete CAH treatment is likely at a larger scale than this demonstration. Abstract Copyright (2006) Elsevier, B.V.

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

Preparation date: November 16, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SUCCESS DAM SEISMIC REMEDIATION DAM SAFETY PROJECT, TULARE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36342795; 12531 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to the Success Dam on the Tulare River in Tulare County, California is proposed to remediate deficiencies in the foundation of the existing structure that could lead to failure in the event of a major earthquake. Lake Success is operated to provide flood control, recreation, hydropower and irrigation and water supply for other needs for one of the most productive agricultural areas in the nation. Studies conducted since 192 have determined that the existing dam is at high risk of failure. Failure of the dam and release of the reservoir pool in a major earthquake could result in loss of life, property damages due to flooding, and substantial related economic losses. In June 2006, due to the high risk of dam failure, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers instituted an operation restriction on the conservation pool to 29,000 acre-feet, which is only 35 percent of the full pool capacity, until a permanent solution could be implemented. Two build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Build Alternative 1 would provide a direct fix to the existing dam foundation. Alternative 2 would construct an earthen embankment dam 300 feet downstream of the existing dam utilizing he existing structure as a coffer dam so that normal reservoir operations could continue unrestricted during construction and so that the current level of flood protection would not be compromised. Under Alternative 2, the existing dam would also be used as a source of borrow material. With a reservoir capacity of 81,500 acre-feet, the new earthen dam would provide the same storage capacity as the existing dam. The project would also include the provision of a new or rehabilitated intake tower, extension of the existing outlet, and widening of the existing spillway in order to pass the probable maximum flood (PMF) with adequate freeboard; an evaluation of the hydrologic adequacy of the existing Success Dam determined that the existing spillway lacked the capacity to pass the PMF. Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative. The project plan would include the acquisition of orchard land the use of Bartlett Park to mitigate impacts to terrestrial habitat and special status species. In addition, a plan to mitigate the impact of a long-term drawdown on the lake fishery would be implemented. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed dam remediation project would remediate the dam and restore the reservoir to its full storage capacity and operational reliability. Project implementation would create 893 jobs and result in $184 million in local and regional expenditures. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Temporary disturbance of 469 acres during excavation and fill activities would exacerbate soil erosion and downstream sedimentation, and excavation could create unstable slopes at the spillway and/or borrow material sites. Approximately 38 acres of farmland would be displaced, and 20 acres of Bartlett Park would be removed from recreational uses. Construction-related habitat losses would include 309 acres of annual grassland, 10 acres of riparian forest, eight acres of scrub-shrub habitat, and one acre of emergent marsh vegetation. Increased nutrient availability and water temperatures would degrade water quality in the lake and downstream. Construction noise levels would exceed noise standards at four residences and a mobile home park. Particular matter and nitrous oxide levels during construction would exceed ambient air quality standards. Water supply availability would be reduced during project implementation. Recreational facilities associated with the lake would be inaccessible during construction.

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

Preparation date: November 9, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PRAIRIE PARKWAY STUDY, GRENDY, KENDALL, AND KANE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS. AN - 36346882; 12524 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an access-controlled, four-lane freeway between Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-88 and the widening of Illinois 47 (IL-47) from I-80 to Canton Farm Road in Grundy, Kendal, and Kane counties, Illinois is proposed. The freeway, to be known as Prairie Parkway, would extend 33.9 to 37 miles depending on the alternative selected. The I-47 project would extend 12 miles. The study area, which lies on the fringe of the Chicago metropolitan area, is undergoing rapid growth and development. Enhancement of north-south mobility is essential to supporting and maintaining this growth trend. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS; both action alternatives would provide for the construction of the parkway and the widening of IL-47; the alternatives are distinguished only by the alignments chosen for the parkway and the number of interchanges (six or seven). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve regional mobility by providing multi-lane principal arterial facilities to north-south travelers, commuters, and freight operations. In addition, the new facilities would address local road system deficiencies, improve access from the study area to regional employment centers, and enhance safety within the affected corridors. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements, totaling 2,544 to 2,645 acres, would result in the displacement of 22 residences, 2.64 to 2.71 acres of wetlands, 54 to 58.4 acres of forest, 55.2 to 65.1 acres of floodplain, and 2,510 to 2,560 acres of farmland, including 1,665 to 1,937 acres of prime farmland 509 to 849 acres of farmland of statewide and local importance. From 170 to 189 farms and 185 to 198 farm owners would be affected by land losses. The facilities would traverse 83 or 84 streams and 18 to 20 floodplains. Farm severances and other farm-related access barriers created by the project would affect 177 to 188 farm operations. Four to 21 parcels would be landlocked. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 77 to 81 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter six or seven hazardous waste sites. The highways would mar the visual aesthetics of the rural landscape somewhat. Improved transportation in the area would induce the development of 4,800 to 5,400 acres of land once the project was completed.

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

Significant congestion and increases in the level of accidents within the corridor have resulted from these influences, calling for increased capacity and geometric improvements along the US 301 in the county. Four color-coded route alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The Yellow Alternative would extend north parallel to existing US 301 from the state line to Mount Pleasant, then continue east-west to SR 1 parallel to SR 896 (Boyds Corner Road). Four interchanges would provide access to the highway. The Purple Alternative would extend north from the state line on a new location west of Middletown and existing US 301 (commonly referred to as the ridge route or ridge alignment) to the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road. From that point, the Purple Alternative would extend on new location northeast to SR 896 and then east to SR 1 along the SR 896 alignment. In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a two-lane spur road would extend north along the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Interchanges would be provided at five locations. The Brown Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to north of Mount Pleasant. The North Option would continue north and turn east, north of Summit Bridge Farms, while the South Option would turn east south of Summit Bridge Farms. Both options would join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal Crossing and north of SR 1 Biddles Corner Toll Plaza. Five interchanges would provide access to the highway. The Green Alternative would extend north from the state line on the ridge route to the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, where it would continue northeast across existing US 301. The North Option would continue north over SR 896 and turn east, crossing to SR 1 south of the Airmont community to join SR 1 south of the C&D Canal. The South Option would continue northeast to cross SR 896 and join SR 1 south of Scott Run. In the vicinity of Armstrong Corner Road, a new two-lane Spur Road would extend on the ridge route to the Summit Bridge. Five interchanges would be provided. Capital costs of the Yellow, Purple, Brown, and Green alternatives range from $686 million to $758 million, $616 million to $680 million, $499million to $608 million, $526 million to $590 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve highway safety, manage truck traffic at an appropriate level, and ameliorate existing and projected traffic congestion along the US 301 corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 870 to 902 acres, resulting in the displacement of some or all of 100 to 377 properties as well as two to 128 residences and four to 58 businesses. The project would also result in the loss of 18.5 to 50.5 acres of wetlands, 203 to 437 acres of prime farmland, 115 to 158 acres of hydric soils, and 34.1 to 51 acres of forested land. From one to 1.5 acres of floodplain would be displaced, and 14,278 to 20,708 linear feet of stream would be relocated. . Under all action alternatives, excepting the Yellow Alternative, one agricultural easement, affecting six to 12.4 acres of farmland, would have to be arranged. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 63 to 108 sensitive receptor sites, though the number of affected receptor sites would decline to 14 to 77 after the placement of the proposed noise control berms. The Yellow Alterative would affect four sites of historic significance.

AN - 36347197; 13017 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamilico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. Under the proposal forwarded in the draft EIS of October 2006, the mine would be expanded into a 3,412-acre area of the tract located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, ka superphosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple superphosphate, or monoammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. This supplement to the draft EIS introduces two additional alternatives (L and M) Both alternatives would be contained within the project area established in the draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 3,412 acres, including 2,408 acres of waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced. Land displace would include 1,422 acres of prime farmland, 62 acres of which are in cultivation, 1,202 acres of floodplain, 157 acres of riparian buffers, 1,654 acres of undisturbed biotic communities and 1,728 acres of disturbed biotic communities, 11 acres of creeks, 19 acres of ponds, and 38 acres of brackish mars. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer.

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

AN - 36347733; 12328 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new 15.9-miles of third main rail track for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BSNF) Railway through the Cajon Pass between Summit and Keenbrook in San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The proposed action requires the issuance of an Army Corps of Engineers permit for placement of fill into jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the issuance of a special use permit from the San Bernardino National Forest, which the Cajon Pass rail line would traverse. The project would also involve realignment of Swarthout Canyon Road, requiring a rights-of-way agreement between BSNF and San Bernardino County. Finally, as part of the project, BNSF would donate funds for the purpose of conserving approximately 60 acres in the Cleghorn Road underpass area to ensure the conservation of ecological processes in the canyon. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action Alternative 1, which is BNSF's preferred alternative, would construct a third main track adjacent to existing BNSF Main Track 1 through Cajon Pass, incorporating environmentally sensitive design features to reduce the footprint of the rights-of-way. Action Alternative 2 would construct a third main track adjacent to existing BSNF Main Track 1, but would utilize a standard engineering design not sensitive to environmental protection requirements of the corridor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The third rail would improve BNSF railway operations by eliminating the existing bottleneck for freight into and out of southern California and increasing sustainable daily capacity to meet present and future demand for freight movement through Cajon Pass. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under either alternative would result in minor losses of land used primarily as wildlife habitat, wetlands, and other jurisdictional waters. Approximately 30 individual jurisdictional waters of the U.S. would be affected by the placement of fill materials. Noise levels and glare from lighting within the corridor would increase substantially. The movement of wildlife across and through the canyon would be hampered and occasional collisions of trains with wildlife would occur.

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

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

Three pump-and-treat facilities operated by the DoD were selected for inclusion in the project. Three optimization formulations were developed for each facility and solved independently by three modeling teams (two using simulation-optimization algorithms and one applying trial-and-error methods). The results clearly indicate that simulation-optimization methods are able to search a wider range of well locations and flow rates and identify better solutions than current trial-and-error approaches. The solutions found were 5% to 50% better than those obtained using trial-and-error (measured using optimal objective function values), with an average improvement of similar to 20%. This translated into potential savings ranging from $600,000 to $10,000,000 for the three sites. In nearly all cases, the cost savings easily outweighed the costs of the optimization. To reduce computational requirements, in some cases the simulation-optimization groups applied multiple mathematical algorithms, solved a series of modified subproblems, and/or fit 'meta-models' such as neural networks or regression models to replace time-consuming simulation models in the optimization algorithm. The optimal solutions did not account for the uncertainties inherent in the modeling process. This project illustrates that transport simulation-optimization techniques are practical for real problems. However, applying the techniques in an efficient manner requires expertise and should involve iterative modification to the formulations based on interim results.

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

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

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

AN - 756824764; 12319-060453_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new segment of U.S. 101 to provide a bypass of the city of Willits in Mendocino County, California is proposed. The facility is an important route for interstate and interregional travel and is considered the economic lifeline of California's North Coast. It is the principal arterial route for the movement of people and goods between the San Francisco Bay area and the greater Eureka-Arcata area. Travel times and transportation costs along U.S. 101 are high. Travel times and costs are exacerbated by congestion-related delays and delays caused by facility type at Willits, where U.S. 101 passes through developed areas on surface streets. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Three of the four action alternatives would involve construction of a new freeway segment east of Willits; the fourth alternative would provide a western bypass. The alternatives vary in length from 5.6 miles to 9.2 miles. The preferred alternative (Modified Alternative J1T) would begin at a point 0.8 mile south of Haehl Overhead and extend 5.8 miles to a point 1.9 miles south of Estimated capital costs for the preferred alternative is $247.0 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the safety and efficiency of traffic movements on U.S. 101 in and around Willits . NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the loss of 15.1 to 129.1 acres of wetlands and up to 713 acres of prime farmland and the displacement of up to 114 residences and three businesses. Two special status plant species, Baker's medowfoam and glandular western flax, would be affected., as would habitat for yellow warbler, yellow-breasted chat, little willow flycatcher, raptors, northwestern pond turtle, foothill yellow-legged frog, spotted owl, tree vole Coho salmon, fall-run Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout. Under one alternative, the facility would follow an alignment susceptible to landslides. Under another alternative, hazardous waste site cleanup would be necessary. Relocation of a stream segment could be required.

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - NEPTUNE, L.L.C. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, MASSACHUSETTS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 756824972; 12317-060451_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater port in Massachusetts Bay, seven miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, are proposed by Neptune, L.L.C. to provide for a terminal facility for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At present, LNG meets 20 to 30 percent of natural gas demand in New England. Forecasts indicate that gas consumption in New England will continue to increase at an average annual growth rate of 1.4 percent for the next 22 years. As domestic supplies are static, the major increase in natural gas supply will have to come from LNG. The proposed port would capable of mooring up to two 37-million-gallon capacity LNG carriers by means of a submerged unloading buoy system. The port would have an average throughput capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) and a peak capacity of 750 MMscfd. The major fixed components of the port would be an unloading buoy system, eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope and chain connecting to anchor points on the seabed, eight function pile anchor points, approximately 2.5 miles of natural gas flow line with flexible pipe risers and riser manifolds, and approximately 11 miles of 24-inch natural gas transmission line with a hot tap and transition manifold to connect to the existing Algonquin HubLine. The LNG carriers, also known as shuttle and regasification vessels, would be equipped to store, transport, and vaporize LNG and to odorize and meter natural gas to be sent out by a conventional subsea pipeline connecting the deepwater port to the existing 30-inch HubLine. No onshore components or storage facilities would be associated with the port. Each LNG carrier would be equipped with an in-tank pump to circulate and transfer LNG to the vaporization facilities located on the deck of the carrier. The proposed vaporization system would consist of closed-loop, shell-and-tube, recirculating heat exchangers heated by steam from boil off gas/vaporized LNG-fired boilers. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and port design, regasification technology, and port site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port and terminal facilities would provide for the increasing demand for natural gas in New England and could replace more expensive, less environmentally friendly oil-fired generators and heating units in some cases. The facilities would promote the development of oil and natural gas production on the outer continental shelf by affording an economic and safe means of transporting oil and natural gas to the mainland. Construction and operations employment would provide a substantial number of jobs for local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the LNG facility would entail risks associated with vapor clouds and fire due to a major accidental release of gas. The LNG port would constitute a navigational impediment and vessel traffic in the area would increase somewhat. Port structures and lighting would mar the visual aesthetics for recreationists and others boating in the area. Construction, vessel operation, and GBS placement would result in short-term, minor effects of the flow of marine waters and suspension of sea flood sediments. Flow disturbances, scour, and associated turbidity resulting from the presence of the GBSs and other structures would be long-term but localized and minor. Construction activities would also affect marine mammals, sea turtles, hard bottoms, submerged aquatic vegetation, algae colonies, birds, and sensitive species.

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

Preparation date: October 26, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTEGRATED POST AUTHORIZATION DECISION DOCUMENT FOR THE SAN LUIS REY FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT FROM COLLEGE BLVD. TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36341851; 12310 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of operation and maintenance components of the vegetation and sediment management under the San Luis Rey River (SLRR) Flood Control Project in San Diego County California is proposed. The SLRR Project, authorized by Congress in 1970 and approved in 1988, consists of a modified single-levee plan. The project corridor encompasses 7.2 river miles extending from College Boulevard (formerly Murray Road) on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. Phased construction was initiated in September 1990 and completed in January 2000. Due to recent discovery of habitat for and populations of least Bell's vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and coastal California gnatcatcher, all of which are protected by federal or state authorities, are or may be present in the project area seasonally, the vegetation and sediment management components of the authorized operation and maintenance plan are being revised. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives 2, 10, and 11 would provide for various vegetation and sediment management schemes within the flood control channel between College Boulevard and Interstate 5. The implementation of alternative 10 or 11 would be phased over three years. Action alternative 2 constitutes the original operations and maintenance plan authorized in 1988 and designed to convey flows of approximately 89,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Activities under Alternative 2 would include annual vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas, allowing for vegetation growth of approximately zero to five years of age within the project's 400-foot conveyance zone. Alternative 10 would provide for 71,200 cfs of flow conveyance and include annual and rotational vegetation clearing and periodic sediment removal within designated areas. Areas designated for rotation clearing would allow for vegetation of up to 10 years of age, and areas designated as unmaintained would not be subject to any vegetation growth up to 10 years of age. Alternative 11, the proposed action, would include vegetation and sediment operation and maintenance activities similar to those under Alternative 10, with the exception that Alternative 11 would call for mowing of vegetation and leaving vegetation in the channel rather than hauling uprooted vegetation to a landfill. Gross investment costs for alternatives 10 and 11 are estimated at $38.1 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Respective annualized costs of the alternatives are estimated at $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The allowed channel flow conveyance under the proposed action would allow for a flow conveyance providing a 175-year return, maintaining habitat within the channel and detention pools for a number of endangered species and their critical habitats. Annual benefits from the proposed action would amount to $3.6 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The newly established conveyance capacity would fall below that of the authorized flood control plan, reduce flood containment capacity by 20 percent..

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

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

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

[Part 4 of 5] T2 - I-49 SOUTH, WAX LAKE OUTLET TO BERWICK, ROUTE US 90, ST. MARY'S PARISH, LOUISIANA. AN - 756824657; 12289-060422_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of US 90 to a four-lane controlled access freeway meeting interstate standards from Wax Lake Outlet to Berwick in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana is proposed. US 90 is an integral component of the federal highway network, serving as an element in the National Highway System. US 90 serves an important road in linking local and regional transportation networks. The portion of US 90 in the project area, which was designed and constructed as an urban highway, does not provide the geometry or infrastructure to accommodate local and regional transportation demand adequately, and future traffic increase will further degrade transportation along this stretch of the highway. The upgraded highway would be a segment of Interstate 49 (I-49) South that would extend from Wax Lake Outlet to the approach to the bridge over the Lower Atchafalaya River and an intersection with Louisiana (LA) 182 in the town of Berwick, a distance of 9.3 miles. The improvements would occur along the existing alignment. Depending on the location, frontage roads would be provided utilizing either one-way or two-way road systems. A new two-lane bridge from be provided across Wax Lake Outlet and a ramp overpass would connect Catherine Street with Waveland Drive. Proceeding west to east, interchanges would be provided with LA 183 Access Road East, Red Cypress Road, Tiffany Street/Liparo Street. Southwest Boulevard, and Berwick South Road/Thorguson Road. Cost of the project is estimated at $293.5 million in 2006 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded facility would provide a boost to planning to implement major transportation system linkage improvements for a substantial portion of the state's population and economy, consistent with federal, state, and local planning efforts. A critical corridor for hurricane evacuation would be improved. Safety and efficiency on US 90 would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 13.2 acres of newly acquired rights-of-way would involve displacement of a parcel currently partially occupied by a fenced equipment storage yard operated by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. In addition, the project would displace 18.02 acres of wetlands, including 4.37 acres of vegetated wet ditches, 9.62 acres of forested wetlands, and 4.03 acres of scrub/shrub wetlands. Traffic-generated noise levels in the year 2030 would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 174 residences. The project would affect Idlewild Plantation House, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 36347767; 12285 AB - PURPOSE: The development of an 11-mile pedestrian/equestrian trail along approximately 11 miles of former Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad corridor on the east side of Lake Sammamish in King County, Washington is proposed. The trail would extend from Gilman Boulevard in the city of Issaquah northward to the Bear Creek Trail in the city of Redmond. Portions of the railroad corridor have already been developed into an interim use trail, which has been evaluated in previous environmental assessment documents. The interim use trail provides a gravel surface, eight to 12 feet wide. This draft EIS, which evaluates means of developing the existing train inter a permanent master plan trail, addresses a No Action Alternative and four trail alternatives. The multi-use trail proposed would provide both paved and soft surfaces to accommodate pedestrians, non-motorized wheeled vehicles, and equestrians. The Corridor Alternative would locate the trail within the former railroad rights-of-way. The majority of the trail would encompass the existing interim use trail, with the trail leaving the existing trail only in those places where trail safety would be improved by such alterations. This alternative would include vehicular parking and restroom facilities. The East Alternatives (A and B) would use the former rights-of-way in certain segments but would transition to the roadway shoulder of East Lake Sammamish Parkway in along several sections. The Continuation of the Interim Use Trail Alternative would maintain the existing 10.6-mile interim use trail beyond the currently authorized 2015 expiration date. The trail would be extended north over Bear Creek, and parking and restroom facilities would be provided. Equestrian sue is not permitted on the existing trail, but would be considered under this alternative. Costs of the Corridor Alternative, the East A/B Alternative, and the Continuation of the Interim Use Trail Alternative are estimated at $34.9 million, $68.7 million, and 7.9 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The trail would help to respond to regional needs for alternative transportation corridors between major business centers, for non-motorized recreational trails to support a growing multi-use population, and for the purpose of making connections between other existing trails in the regional trail system. Access to recreation, employment, and retail centers in the cities of Redmond, Sammamish, and Issaquah would be enhanced NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trail development would result in 58 to 61 partial property takings, 15 to 18 full property takings, and 12 to 15 residential relocations. Unless additional relocations were undertaken in areas where residences were proximate to the trail, visual landscapes would be affected for both residents and trail users. In addition, the project would displace of up to 1.19 acres of wetland and 2.4 acres of stream bank vegetation, impact up to 4.1 acres of wetland buffer, and increase impervious surface in the corridor by up to 20 acres. The trail would traverse up to 22 streams, requiring the construction of culverts. Trail crossings of roadways would result in conflicts between drivers and trail users that would constitute safety hazards.

Preparation date: October 10, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PINON CANYON MANEUVER SITE TRANSFORMATION, FORT CARSON, COLORADO. AN - 36351275; 12284 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the U.S. Army Military transformation programs at the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) of Fort Carson, Colorado is proposed. The Army is currently undergoing transformational activities across the full spectrum of military operations to respond more rapidly to enemy threats. These changes will affect most, if not all, aspects of the Army's doctrine, training, leader development, organizations, installations, materiel acquisition and fielding, and personnel. The transformation programs, which are based on the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (also known as the Global Defense Posture Realignment), and the Army Modular Force, are needed to prepare the Army's combat forces for deployment around the world. The proposed action would support the training of 8,500 additional soldiers at the PCMS, requiring construction and increased use of training areas. The 235,000-acre PCMS, which is located 150 miles southeast of Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, is used to prepare soldiers for operational deployments and missions, including small-arms, live-fire, and maneuver training exercises. The primary PCMS mission is to support maneuver training for large ground forces. Ground forces need large, contiguous maneuver and training areas with urban warfare training complexes to support "free-flowing" exercises that replicate the contemporary operating environment. Under the proposal, the Army would continue to maintain the withdrawal of 2,517.02 acres of public land and 130,139 acres of public-owned land with mineral rights attached from the public domain; the withdrawal of these lands was extended until 2011 by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997, which requires the Army to reevaluate the need for these withdrawals to continue after 2011. The withdrawals would support the training of additional Active Component troops stationed at Fort Carson and support additional training for Reserve Component units. Approximately 23,000 military personnel would be permanently stationed at Fort Carson for training within the PCMS; this represents an increase of 8,50 soldiers, including two brigade combat teams and other support units. Training and maneuver activities would be similar to those now occurring on the PCMS, though the frequency of use of the area would increase significantly. The area would also offer a training site for thousands of National Guard and Reserve Component troops. In addition to the proposed actions, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The continued operation and improvement of the PCMS would train troops to provide security across vast operational areas while responding to the full range of unpredictable enemy activities with a disciplined and measured response on a moment's notice. The land and environmental management programs associated with the PCMS would provide for effective natural resource management and for sustainable stewardship of the training area. The influx of personnel would result in greater personal and military expenditures in the region, boosting numerous local economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Nearly all of the vegetated areas and associated soils and wildlife habitat on the maneuver training area could be disturbed during training exercises. Denuded areas would be prone to wind and water erosion. Loss mobile and burrowing wildlife species could be directly affected by movements of troops and vehicles and the explosion of ordnance and munitions. Archaeological and paleontological resource sites could be inadvertently damaged or destroyed. Maneuvers would result in the release of air pollutants and the emission of high-volume noise from vehicles and explosions. Munitions, fuel, and other toxic materials would be released into the environment both intentionally and accidentally.

Preparation date: October 6, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FORT BLISS, TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO: MISSION AND MASTER PLAN (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL EIS OF DECEMBER 2000). AN - 36347372; 12281 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of land uses related to the operation of Fort Bliss, a multi-mission U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) installation located in New Mexico and Texas, is proposed in this draft supplement to the final programmatic EIS of December 2000. The principal mission of the installation, which encompasses approximately 1.12 million acres, is the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Center and Fort Bliss. The final programmatic EIS described potential environmental impacts and mitigation actions associated with land use and management decisions regarding installation assets, capabilities, and infrastructure to support current and future missions. The resulting decisions were reflected in the Real Property Master Plan, the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan, and the Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan as well as land use designations and activities envisioned in the Training Area Development Concept (TADC) and other installation initiatives. Current and likely future missions assigned to organizations at Fort Bliss support the land force elements within the "U.S. Armed Forces Joint Vision 2010" document developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While the generally accepted horizon for the master planning process is 20 years, the period beyond the six-year cycles of the Army's planning, programming, and budgeting system is highly speculative. Four alternatives, including the No Action Alternative (which describes the current mission and organizations assigned to Fort Bliss as well as certain planned development and maintenance activities), were considered in the final EIS. All action alternatives include actions involved in the No Action Alternative as well as additional measures. Alternative 1 would add implementation of certain short- and long-term plans, construction and demolition projects, and environmental resource management plans. Alternative 2 would include all Alternative 1 actions as well as use of an additional 13.5 square miles of land for controlled access field training exercise field training sites related to the TADC. Alternative 3 would include all Alternative 2 actions as well as other potential training capabilities envisioned in the TADC and other installation initiatives. Alternative 3 was identified as the Army's preferred alternative in 2000. This draft supplemental EIS addresses land use changes at the fort complex and main cantonment area to accommodate U.S. Army initiatives such as those of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy. These initiatives seek to locate a Heavy Armor Division Headquarters comprised of four Heavy Brigade Combat Teams, a Combat Aviation Brigade, an Artillery Brigade, and various other supporting units at Fort Bliss. To support these units, additional infrastructure and facilities, including live-fire and qualification ranges, would be developed. The plan would also involve the addition of 20,000 to 30,000 military personnel at the fort. Five alternatives are considered in this draft supplemental EIS, four of which would involve expansion of the Main Cantonment Area and provision of off-road vehicle maneuver training on portions of the McGregor Range in the Tularosa Basin. None of these alternatives would permit off-road vehicle maneuvers on Otero Mesa or in the Sacramento Mountains foothills on McGregor Range. and increasing maneuvers. The fifth alternative considers taking No Action. The proposed action (Alternative 4) would add 352,000 acres for off-road vehicle maneuvers to land in the training complex already approved for that use, increasing the total area available for maneuvers to 6787,000 acres. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The fort would continue to support efforts necessary to the defense of national interests. Activities under the alternative adopted would assist land use planning and enhance management of the land, air space, and infrastructure of the installation to optimize its ability to support current and future missions while sustaining its stewardship of natural and cultural resources. Planning under any action alternative would provide a framework for the improvement of land use relationships in the main cantonment and enhance support of the installation's mission. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain activities related to the fort's mission could result in minor impacts to grazing on ranges within the installation, increase aircraft noise levels in certain areas, reduce safety buffers related to firing or ordnance, alter visual contexts, increase soil disturbance due to increased use of off-road vehicles, and increase in the possibly of disturbance of cultural resource sites. Alternatives (2) and (3) would result in increased water demand.

In south Florida, ASR is used by utilities to augment drinking water supplies during dry periods, and also as a mechanism to store and recover large volumes of water for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Arsenic mobilization due to pyrite oxidation and subsequent redox reactions in the aquifer represent a challenge for extensive implementation of ASR in some permeable lithologies that include the Upper Floridan Aquifer. We use geochemical modeling methods to test the following hypotheses: 1) redox evolution from oxic to sulfate-reducing conditions is the overall condition that defines the pattern of arsenic mobilization, sorption, and release that is observed during ASR cycle tests; and 2) that an almost stoichiometric decline in recovered water arsenic concentrations will result during successive ASR cycles where oxic treated water is recharged (arsenic attenuation). The Olga ASR system stores treated surface water for Fort Myers, FL. The system consists of one recharge/recovery well (1 million gallons per day) and two monitor wells located ca. 350 ft. away. Water is stored in permeable zones of the Suwannee Limestone (850-920 ft bls), which includes the upper part of the Floridan Aquifer System. During recharge, pyrite oxidation releases arsenic into this drinking water source, although arsenic concentrations at monitor wells typically remains less than 5 ppb throughout each cycle. During recovery (typically 30-75 percent of total volume recharged), arsenic concentration increases only at the ASR well, often exceeding the new 10 ppb drinking water maximum contaminant level. We infer that the process of arsenic transport occurs during recovery due to reductive dissolution of iron oxyhydroxides with subsequent release of sorbed arsenic, all occurring under sulfate-reducing conditions. Recent cycle tests that show long (70 percent) recovery periods do show declining maximum arsenic concentrations. This pattern suggests that the arsenic source is being depleted from aquifer material by successive oxic cycles.

AN - 69003853; 17069177 AB - When evaluating the risk chemicals may pose to mammals and birds in ecological risk assessments (ERAs), it is common practice to conservatively assume that all (100%) of a chemical in an environmental medium is bioavailable to receptors. This assumption often leads to overestimating ecological risk and may ultimately result in costly and unnecessary risk management actions. While effects of bioavailability and speciation of metals such as arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) have been considered in human health risk assessment, these effects are rarely taken into consideration when assessing risks to mammals and birds. An ERA was conducted at the former Col-Tex refinery site in Colorado City, Texas, USA, to characterize risks to select wildlife species from exposure to chromium (Cr) and Pb found in soils. The focus on these metals was based on results of a screening-level ERA that found that Cr and Pb were posing ecological risks at the site. Soils were analyzed for total Cr and Pb, trivalent Cr (CrIII), hexavalent Cr (CrVI), organic Pb, and the bioavailability and speciation of Pb. Results for Pb and Cr indicated that >94% of the Cr was present as the less toxic and immobile Cr(III) and that >99% of the Pb in soils was present as inorganic Pb. Lead bioaccessibility measured by in vitro testing ranged from 8% to 77.8%, depending on location of individual soil samples. Results demonstrated that Pb and Cr bioavailability and speciation information can raise soil cleanup concentrations while being protective of ecological receptors. The costs of performing the ERA were de minimus compared to the reduction in remediation costs at the site. The refined hazard estimates allowed informed decision making in the management and segregation of soils, allowing for effective risk management at the site.

The major advantage of PVDs is that they are relatively inexpensive and therefore can be placed at very close spacing (typically 1 to 2 m center-to-center). Certain soil properties must be known to effectively design a PVD system. If PVDs are used for soil improvement, the horizontal coefficient of consolidation of the soil is required; if PVDs are used for remediation, the horizontal hydraulic conductivity is required. Determining these properties is complicated by the effects of installing the PVDs and the high cost of performing in-situ measurements. To allow for direct measurement of these parameters in the field, a PVD has been modified to create a device called the "PVD Permeameter". Research on the PVD Permeameter has been ongoing since May 2003. To date, one field trial and laboratory experiments have been completed. Recently, a second field trial was performed to determine if the refinements that were made to the PVD Permeameter were appropriate and to check the results of the laboratory experiments. The preliminary results of this second field trial indicate that the improvements to the PVD Permeameter were successful and that use of this device could improve the design of PVD systems.

AN - 36410432; 12298 AB - PURPOSE: The continuation of the operations at PCS Phosphate Mine near Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina is proposed. The 70,000-acre study area containing the open-pit mine and associated processing facilities lie on the south short of the Pamlico River, six miles north of Aurora. More specifically, the mine and facilities on the Hickory Point peninsula. The applicant, PCS Phosphate Mine, Inc., proposes to continue its surface mining operation on the peninsula once reserves are depleted under the existing permit. The mine would be expanded into a 3,412-acre area of the tract located adjacent to the Pamlico River and several of its tributaries. Phosphorus mining has taken place in North Carolina since 1958. PCS Phosphate, Inc. Aurora, the applicant, mines phosphate ore and manufacturers phosphoric acid, solid and liquid fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and purified phosphoric acids sued in food products and industrial processes. As of December 2005, the Aurora facility included a mining operation, four sulfuric acid plants, four phosphoric acid plants, a purified acid plant, a liquid fertilizer plant, ka super phosphoric acid plant, two diammonium phosphate plants, a defluorinated phosphate animal feed plant, and a solid fertilizer plant capable of producing diammonium phosphate, granular triple super phosphate, or monammonium phosphate. Alternatives under consideration include various mining methodologies and mine continuation alignments. Specific mine plans have been developed within various mine alignments using industry-accepted mine planning techniques. These plans take into account cost and logistical constraints associated with boundary configurations, mine operations, and mine sequencing to maximize recovery while minimizing costs. A property acquisition plan would be part of the selected alternative. Mining would involve removal of overburden using hydraulic dredging equipment and a bucket wheel excavator, followed by ore mining via dragline and borehole techniques. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Phosphorus produces produced at the mine and processing facility would provide valuable fertilizer for the agricultural sector, which consumes 90 percent of the phosphorus rock produced in the country. The phosphorus would also be used in consumer products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, foods, and flavors. Industrial uses include metal cleaning and aluminum finishing. Phosphate is also used to control acid mine drainage, the most significant environmental impact of coal mining in the Northern Appalachian Coal Basin. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Actions taken under the continuation proposal would result in the disturbance of 3,412 acres, including 2,408 acres of waters of the U.S. incorporating significant extents of wetlands would be displaced. Land displace would include 1,422 acres of prime farmland, 62 acres of which are in cultivation, 1,202 acres of floodplain, 157 acres of riparian buffers, 1,654 acres of undisturbed biotic communities and 1,728 acres of disturbed biotic communities, 11 acres of creeks, 19 acres of ponds, and 38 acres of brackish mars. Groundwater impacts would include disruption and depressurization of shallow aquifers and depressurization of the Castle Hayne Aquifer.

Over time, a two-stage channel often develops, consisting of a narrow low-flow channel flanked by low, grassed berms. These berms act as a new floodplain within the original channel. The benefits and impacts of the two- stage channel are evaluated from an ecological, hydraulic, hydrologic, and sediment transport perspective. Examples are taken from the Sebewaing River watershed, Michigan. Four different reaches of the watershed were selected as being representative of the system as a whole and having a two- stage channel present. Cross- sections and slopes were measured at each of these reaches and bed material samples were taken for grain size analysis. This data was then input into HEC-RAS and SIAM (Sediment Impact Analysis Model) in order to examine hydraulic and sediment transport capacities, as well as channel stability. A sensitivity analysis was performed using these same tools to determine the effects of varying slopes and channel roughness. The impacts of widening agricultural ditches (to accommodate a floodplain bench) on downstream peak flows were also evaluated.

In the western US, real-time SWE measurements are made using snow pillows that can experience errors from snow- bridging, poor installation configuration, and enhanced solar radiation absorption. Snow pillow installations that place the pillow abnormally above or below the surrounding terrain can affect snow catchment. Snow pillows made from dark materials can preferentially absorb solar radiation penetrating the snow causing accelerated melt. To reduce these problems, the NRCS and CRREL developed an electronic SWE sensor to replace the snow pillow. During the winter of 2005- 2006 the NRCS/CRREL electronic sensor was deployed at Hogg Pass, Oregon, with a total SWE accumulation of about 1000 mm. The NRCS/CRREL sensor consists of a center panel surrounded by eight outer panels whose purpose is to buffer snow bridging loads. By separately monitoring load cell outputs from the sensor, snow-bridging events are directly measured. A snow-bridging event associated with a 180 mm SWE accumulation in a 24-hour period exhibited a SWE over- measurement of 60% at the sensor edge while the center panel showed less than a 10% effect. Individual load cell outputs were used to determine the most representative SWE value, which was within 5% of the adjacent snow pillow value. During the spring melt the NRCS/CRREL sensor melt recession lagged that of the snow pillow by about a week. Physical examination of the Hogg Pass site indicated that the CRREL sensor results were consistent with snow- on-the-ground observations. The snow pillow experienced accelerated melt because it was installed on a mound above the surrounding terrain and absorbed solar radiation through the snow. SWE pressure sensor accuracy is significantly improved by using an active center panel surrounded by buffer panels, monitoring several individual load cell to detect and correct snow-bridging errors, and reducing the radiation and topographic profile of the sensor.

Training activities have included squad, section, platoon, and company level live-fire training, ground maneuvers, aviation assault training, demolitions training, and sniper training. The past and current use of MMR for military training has deposited several chemical compounds throughout MMR. Chemical compounds from these munitions may have entered the environment through a number of processes, such as emission of particles and gases into the air, percolation into the groundwater, runoff into surface water, runoff and erosion of contaminated solid particles into surface water, and transport to nearby muliwai by streams flowing from MMR. Possible compounds released by these munitions include metals, explosives, and byproducts of explosives. The Army has conducted several site-specific environmental studies to address the major public concerns. The studies are at various stages of completion at this time. Some of the studies will be ongoing, such as groundwater quality monitoring. One site known to be a likely source of chemical contamination is the open burn/open detonation (OB/OD) area. The area is approximately four acres and lies down slope of the access road. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps personnel have used this area to burn and detonate a variety of materials from the 1960's into the 1990's. The Army's current hydrogeologic (soil, surface water, groundwater) investigation and environmental sampling program at MMR is evaluating the potential for contaminants to migrate beyond the boundaries of MMR. Groundwater samples collected from a monitoring well have been analyzed for energetics, semi-volatile organic compounds, nitrates, nitrites, and total metals. Past sampling has shown that none of the samples had detectable concentrations of energetics or semi-volatile organic compounds. The nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the samples were below risk-based health criteria and drinking water standards. Detectable levels of barium, chromium, lead, mercury, and nickel were also below risk-based health criteria and drinking water standards. The study concluded that the basal aquifer at MMR was not contaminated. This poster presentation will describe and illustrate an overview of the continuing water quality investigations at MMR.

Such holistic modeling and assessment require evaluation capabilities across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Thus, modeling and assessment tools must be integrated in a scientifically and computationally effective infrastructure. The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, in concert with the Hydrologic Engineering Center and its academic partners, including Brigham Young University, is establishing a comprehensive set of hydroinformatics modeling and assessment tools for ecohydraulic and water resources management applications, all linked based on a common data and information infrastructure. This paper presents the attributes of this information infrastructure and compares it with the analogous integration initiatives elsewhere.

Horseshoe crabs spawn in the intertidal zone of sandy beaches and larval emergence occurs when the larvae exit the sediments and enter the plankton. However, L. polyphemus populations also occur in areas that lack significant tidal changes and associated synchronization cues. Endogenous activity rhythms that match predictable environmental cycles may enable larval horseshoe crabs to time swimming activity to prevent stranding on the beach. To determine if L. polyphemus larvae possess a circatidal rhythm in vertical swimming, larvae collected from beach nests and the plankton were placed under constant conditions and their activity monitored for 72 h. Time-series analyses of the activity records revealed a circatidal rhythm with a free-running period of [asymptotic to] 12.5 h. Maximum swimming activity consistently occurred during the time of expected falling tides, which may serve to reduce the chance of larvae being stranded on the beach and aid in seaward transport by ebb currents (i.e., ebb-tide transport). To determine if agitation serves as the entrainment cue, larvae were shaken on a 12.4 h cycle to simulate conditions during high tide in areas with semi-diurnal tides. When placed under constant conditions, larval swimming increased near the expected times of agitation. Thus, endogenous rhythms of swimming activity of L. polyphemus larvae in both tidal and nontidal systems may help synchronize swimming activity with periods of high water and inundation.

AN - 36342537; 12270 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the recommendations of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas and related field training activities at Camp Bullis, Texas is proposed. The fort is located in the San Antonio, while the camp lies north of San Antonio. Under the BNRAC recommendations, the fort would receive personnel, equipment, and missions from various realignment and closure actions within the Department of Defense. In addition to Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, installations affected by related realignment actions would include Randolph Air Force Base (AFB), Texas; Lackland AFB, Texas; the Army Installation Management Agency in Arlington, Virginia; th4e Army Community and Family Support Center at Seven Corners Corporate Center in Falls Church, Virginia; the Army Family Liaison Office in Arlington, Virginia; the Army Contracting Agency (ACA) Headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia; ACA's Hoffman 1 Building E-Commerce Headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia; the ACA's Southern Hemisphere Region Headquarters at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico; the Army Environmental Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the District of Columbia; Naval Air Station Great Lakes, Illinois; and the Combat Casualty Care Research sub-function the Naval Medical Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland. In addition to the realignment actions, the BRAC recommendations would result in closure of Fort McPherson, Georgia and Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, Texas, and relocation of selected functions to Fort Sam Houston. The realignment and relocation of functions and facilities to Fort Sa Houston and Camp Bullis would affect five mission-related sub areas: 1) the patient care sub area due to Consolidation of the Air Force Wilford Hall Medical Center onto the Brooke Army Medical Center site; 2) the medical research, development, testing, and evaluation sub area collocated with the major patient sub area due to the movement of the directed energy research function from Brooks City-Base; 3) the medical training sub area due to the introduction of the new student and instructor loading the buildup of the Medical Education Training Center; 4) the headquarters and administration sub area due to additions and changes to the Fifth Army and Sixth Army/U.S. Army South and 470th Military Intelligence functions; and 5) two training sites, together covering 130 acres in the southwestern section of Camp Bullis. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the areas of medical research and services. The quality of functions at Fort Sam Houston would improve significantly. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at Fort Lee would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new facilities and operations at Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis would displace other land uses, disturb soils and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, degrade surface water and groundwater quality, damage cultural resource sites, and generally disrupt the ecosystem of the area. Area schools, housing resources, and law enforcement, fire, and social services would experience stress. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

HILL, VIRGINIA. AN - 36342429; 12269 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) Recommendations and other U.S. Army actions at Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia is proposed. The affected jurisdictions include the cities of Hopewell and Petersburg and the counties of Prince Georges, Caroline, and Essex. Fort Lee, which lies between Petersburg and Hopewell, approximately 25 miles south of Richmond, is the home of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command, which develops logistics leaders, doctrine organizations, training programs, and materiel solutions to sustain a campaign-quality Army with joint expeditionary capabilities in war and peace. Fort A.P. Hill, which lies in Caroline and Essex counties, approximately 70 miles north of Fort Lee, provides realistic joining and combined arms training, logistics, and support to numerous Active and Reserve component visiting units. The current BRAC recommendations would involve the realignment of Fort Lee by relocating 7,700 additional personnel to Fort Lee, construction of additional facilities at both Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill to accommodate the relocated personnel and functions, and implementation of training and other operations at both forts. More specifically, the Fort Lee actions would include establishment of a Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCOE) to include portions of the Transportation Center and School now located at Fort Eustis, Virginia, the Ordnance Maintenance Mechanical School of the Ordnance Center and School now located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and the Ordnance Munitions and Electronics Maintenance School of the Missile and Munitions Center now located at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; consolidation of the Transportation Center and School and the Ordnance Center and School with the Quartermaster Center and School, the Army Logistics Management College, and the Combined Arms Support Command to form the SCOE; establishment of a Joint Center for Consolidated Transportation Management Training by relocating redundant facilities from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas; establishment of a Joint Center of Excellence for Culinary Training now located at Lackland Air Force Base; co-location of the Miscellaneous Department Defense, Defense Agency, and Field Activity Leased Locations; closure of Metro Park III, a leased installation in Alexandria, Virginia by relocating the Defense Contract Management Agency Headquarters to Fort Lee; and relocation of all components of the Defense Commissary Agency, currently located at leased facilities in San Antonio, Texas, to the Fort Lee. In addition, all mobilization processing functions at Fort Lee, Fort Eustis, Virginia, and Fort Jackson, South Carolina would be relocated to Fort Bragg , North Carolina, which would be designated the Joint Pre-Deployment/Mobilization Site Bragg/Pope. Fort Lee's military and civilian population consists of two major categories of personnel: student soldiers attending professional schools and permanent party personnel. Following implementation of the proposed action, Fort Lee's average daily population would nearly double, rising from 12,953 personnel to 20,703 personnel. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Realignment of the abovementioned military and support functions would streamline U.S. Army operations, particularly in the area of logistics. Economic efficiencies of scale would be significant. The influx of personnel and the significant increase in military and nonmilitary activities at Fort Lee would significantly boost local employment rolls and otherwise benefit the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The new facilities and operations at Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill would displace other land uses, disturb soils and Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, degrade surface water and groundwater quality, damage cultural resource sites, and generally disrupt the ecosystem of the area. Area schools, housing resources, and law enforcement, fire, and social services would experience stress. Generation of hazardous waste, particularly waste generated in the processing and storage or ordnance and munitions, would pose a significant management problem. Noise levels would rise significantly due to the use of additional ordnance and munitions at Fort Lee. LEGAL MANDATES: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510).

AN - 36349254; 12263 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing line of protection against the flooding of Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas is reviewed. The project has been completed. The seven levee units addressed for this study include the North Kansas City, Northeast Industrial District (East Bottoms), and Birmingham units in Missouri; the Argentine, Armourdale, and Fairfax-Jersey Creek units in Kansas; and the central Industrial District Unit, which protects land in both Kansas and Missouri. The existing system, including seepage control structures, protects approximately $16 billion of investment within the protected areas encompassing 5,000 individual structures, 90,000 jobs, the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, several vital utility facilities, and extensive rail and road systems of regional and national importance. The system withstood a significant flood in 1993; however, some elements of the system were seriously challenged as the flood crest nearly overtopped the levee system at some locations. The preferred alternatives for the Kansas River levee units would include raising the levees to the nominal 500-year flood event, plus three feet, along with improvements of pump stations and under seepage control to prevent overtopping and provide levee stability. The preferred alternatives for the Armourdale and Central Industrial District are tentative as will not be fully evaluated until the final feasibility study. The preferred alternatives for the Missouri River levee units would primarily address individual components of the existing system that have been identified through analyses to require overtopping and/or under seepage reliability improvements to maintain the integrity of the existing line of protection. The preferred alternative for the Missouri River levee units would include installation of relief wells and a pump station, installation of a buried collector system, strengthening of an existing floodwall, and sheet pile wall replacement to improve the reliability of the existing line of protection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved levee system would ensure that the two cities continue to enjoy adequate protection against the 500-year flood event. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse aesthetic and natural environmental impacts would be limited in extent and insignificant in degree since the project would primarily be located within the existing footprint of a previously disturbed area in a highly industrialized and urbanized area.

AN - 756824780; 12260-060390_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Southern Beltway Transportation Project, extending from US 22 to Interstate 79 (I-79), in Allegheny and Washington counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. The overall program of improvements has been designated as three separate projects for independent development and environmental review, based on logical project termini, differing project needs, and differing scheduling and funding opportunities. Each of the three projects is self-standing; that is, each project has independent utility that would not curtail or obligate improvements in the other project areas along the corridor. Nonetheless, these projects are being planned so they can work together as a cohesive system for regional benefit. This EIS addresses the Southern Beltway program, incorporating all three individual transportation projects. In addition to the first proposal, this EIS considers a four-lane, limited access highway from Pennsylvania Route 60 to US 22 and a similar facility from Interstate 79 to Mon/Fayette Expressway. The focus of the EIS is, however, on the project extending from US 22 to I-79; it is the impacts of this component of the system that are covered in the EIS process. Three new toll road alternatives and a No-Build alternative are considered in this final EIS. All of the toll road alternatives would provide four-lane, limited-access toll highways extending approximately 13 miles from US 22 in the Robinson Township of Washington Count to I-79 in the Southern Fayette Township of Allegheny Count and the Cecil Township of Washington County. The preferred alternative (Alternative B2) would provide for 12.88 miles of four-lane toll way. Construction cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $647.0 million in 2011 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The three projects would provide a 30-mile network of transportation improvements in the area to support economic development in southwestern Pennsylvania and the improve east-west mobility in the circumferential corridor south and west of the cit of Pittsburg. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement 76 residences, eight businesses, and one community facility, as well as 99 acres of productive agricultural land, 21 acres of agricultural security area, 6.64 acres of wetlands across 66 wetland sites, seven acres of floodplain, 739 acres of forest, 232 acres of rangeland, and 36 acres of grassland. Approximately 5,78 feet of perennial stream would be lost of covered with culvert structures. The habitat of one federally listed species, the short-eared owl, would be affected. Potential for reduction of access to coal mines would be low. One railroad crossing would be necessary, but it would not be an at-grade crossing.

AN - 756824423; 12260-060390_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the Southern Beltway Transportation Project, extending from US 22 to Interstate 79 (I-79), in Allegheny and Washington counties, Pennsylvania is proposed. The overall program of improvements has been designated as three separate projects for independent development and environmental review, based on logical project termini, differing project needs, and differing scheduling and funding opportunities. Each of the three projects is self-standing; that is, each project has independent utility that would not curtail or obligate improvements in the other project areas along the corridor. Nonetheless, these projects are being planned so they can work together as a cohesive system for regional benefit. This EIS addresses the Southern Beltway program, incorporating all three individual transportation projects. In addition to the first proposal, this EIS considers a four-lane, limited access highway from Pennsylvania Route 60 to US 22 and a similar facility from Interstate 79 to Mon/Fayette Expressway. The focus of the EIS is, however, on the project extending from US 22 to I-79; it is the impacts of this component of the system that are covered in the EIS process. Three new toll road alternatives and a No-Build alternative are considered in this final EIS. All of the toll road alternatives would provide four-lane, limited-access toll highways extending approximately 13 miles from US 22 in the Robinson Township of Washington Count to I-79 in the Southern Fayette Township of Allegheny Count and the Cecil Township of Washington County. The preferred alternative (Alternative B2) would provide for 12.88 miles of four-lane toll way. Construction cost for the preferred alternative is estimated at $647.0 million in 2011 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The three projects would provide a 30-mile network of transportation improvements in the area to support economic development in southwestern Pennsylvania and the improve east-west mobility in the circumferential corridor south and west of the cit of Pittsburg. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement 76 residences, eight businesses, and one community facility, as well as 99 acres of productive agricultural land, 21 acres of agricultural security area, 6.64 acres of wetlands across 66 wetland sites, seven acres of floodplain, 739 acres of forest, 232 acres of rangeland, and 36 acres of grassland. Approximately 5,78 feet of perennial stream would be lost of covered with culvert structures. The habitat of one federally listed species, the short-eared owl, would be affected. Potential for reduction of access to coal mines would be low. One railroad crossing would be necessary, but it would not be an at-grade crossing.

Preparation date: September 21, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MID-CHESAPEAKE BAY ISLAND ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION, MARYLAND. AN - 16372694; 13603 AB - PURPOSE: The use of uncontaminated dredge spoil from the Upper Chesapeake Bay approach channels to the Port of Baltimore to restore and protect island habitat in the Chesapeake Bay is proposed. Land subsidence, rising sea levels, and wave action have caused valuable island habitats to be lost due to erosion throughout the Chesapeake Bay. Over the past 150 years, it has been estimated that 10,50 acres of island habitat have been lost in the middle eastern portion of the bay alone. These types of islands and their surrounding habitat are preferentially selected by may migratory birds for nesting and production habitat, as well as by fish and Wildlife species for a variety of purposes. Though similar vegetative communities may occur on the mainland, isolation, lack of human disturbance, and fewer predators make islands more attractive. If the present rate of loss continues unabated, these island habitats, particularly upland habitats, will probably disappear by 2020. The recommended plan would include a combined island option at James and Barren islands, which maximized national ecosystem restoration benefits as well as an environmentally sound option for the disposal of dredged materials. Specifically, the recommended action would provide for the restoration of 2,072 acres of island habitat to the west and north of the existing James Island remnants; restoration of 72 acres of island habitat on the northern and western exposures of Barren Island; construction of a continuous stone breakwater to the south of Barren Island; and protection of 280 acres of existing island ecosystem habitat. The recommended alternative would achieve these ends via the construction of breakwaters, development of nearshore sills, dredged material and sand placement to increase land areas and reduce and reverse shoreline erosion, other shoreline protection measures, creation of wetland cells, alteration of tidal guts, and channel excavation. In addition to the recommended action, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative And two action alternatives. First costs of the recommended plan are estimated at $1.69 billion, of which the federal government would fund $1.56 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island Ecosystem Restoration Study would restore hundreds of acres of aquatic and Wildlife island habitat, as well as shoreline and beach, in the Mid-Chesapeake Bay region through the beneficial use of dredged material from the approach channels. The restoration of island habitat would afford improved productivity to the surrounding area, while providing an environmentally sound management method for the use of dredged material. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The placement of dredged material would affect 2,072 acres of shallow marsh at James Island and 94 acres of shallow water at Barren Island. The dredging of an access channel on the northwest shoreline of James Island would also impact 100.9 acres of open-water habitat. An additional protection project at Barren Island would harden 9,760 acres of shoreline, resulting in further habitat losses. Other island restoration measures already underway, particularly those of Poplar Island, Smith Island, Tangier Island, and Taylors Island would result in cumulative loses of the same sort of habitat displaced or degraded by measures taken under the action proposed in this EIS.

AN - 36347601; 12255 AB - PURPOSE: The development, operation, and reclamation of a surface bituminous coal mine (Spruce No. 1 Mine) in Logan County, West Virginia are proposed. The mine site lies two miles northeast of the community of Blair. Hobet Mining, Inc., a subsidiary of Arch Coal, Inc. and the successful applicant for the necessary federal mining permit, has turned the mine over to its subsidiary, Mingo Logan Coal Company. Mining facilities would include eight valley fills, mine pits, access and haul roads, six drainage control structures (ponds), four erosion protection zones, office and warehouse space, coal truck dump and transfer facility, and an extension of an existing electrical transmission line. The project would be designed for mountaintop mining and incidental contour, auger, high wall/thin-seam mining of multiple coal seams. Mingo Logan controls the lands to be mined through lease agreements with the surface and mineral estate owners within the project area. In addition to the applicant's proposal, the draft EIS addressed a No Action Alternative and one other action alternative. This abbreviated final EIS includes a summery of the proposed action and its impacts as well as supporting documentation, such as errata for the draft EIS and public comments on the draft. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mining operation would provide a substantial source of coal for use in electrical generators in the eastern United States, helping to provide a reliable source of electrical power for the region and to reduce the nation's dependency on foreign sources of energy. The mine would employ 218 workers and retain 10 contract workers during the construction and operation phases. An additional 25 mining jobs would be created during operation of the project. The mine would provide significant revenue to the state and county governments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and ancillary activities would disturb 2,278 acres of vegetated land currently providing wildlife habitat over the 15-year life of the mine. Of this total disturbance area, 500 acres would be disturbed for surface mining at any one time, based on sequential backfilling and concurrent reclamation of the mined areas. Approximately 10,630 linear feet (1.83 acres) of ephemeral stream channels, 36,184 linear feet (5.7 acres) of intermittent stream channels, and 0.12 acre of emergent wetland would be permanently impacted during the life of the mine. In addition, 6,307 linear feet (1.04 acre) of intermittent stream and 82 linear feet (0.19 acre) of perennial stream would be temporarily impounded with sediment-laden water in phases as mining progresses. Approximately 8.95 acres of waters of the United States would be affected. The reduction or loss of available water in the area would affect both terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The mine could impact habitat for the cerulean warbler, eastern woodrat, hellbender, southeastern big-eared bat, Diana fritillary butterfly butter net, and Gray's saxifrage, all of which are federally protected species. The project would result in direct disturbance to 10 archaeological sites and three traditional residences, but no cultural resource has been found to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Noise from the mining would slightly exceed federal standards in the vicinity of sensitive receptors in the study area.

AN - 36412447; 13113 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across the Knick Arm to provide improved access between the municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su) is proposed. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives include roadways, a bridge, and a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill. The terminus on the Mat-Su side of Knik Arm is the intersection of Point McKenzie and Burma roads, while the terminus on the Anchorage side is the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet at Third Avenue. The preferred alternative would feature an 8,200-foot-long bridge, pier supported bridge. The bridge approach route on the Mat-Su side would be Point MacKenzie Road, from the intersection with Burma Road south of Port MacKenzie and a northern corridor through the Port District. The Anchorage approach to the bridge would e a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill below either Degan Street of Erickson Street. Either the Degan or Erickson alternative would become the connection to the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet and, ultimately, to the proposed reconstructed couplet. Construction phasing would be based on traffic demand, beginning with a two-lane facility and resulting ultimately in a four-lane facility by the design year of 2030. The Erickson Alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing safe, efficient access to Anchorage for the residents of Mat-su, the new road would provide support to the Port of Anchorage expansion project, the Port MacKenzie Development, and several plans for development in the Upper Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the displacement of small parcels of forested land, sedge and grass habitat, and scrub/shrub vegetation, as well as privately owned parcels and could require the relocation of residences, commercial and industrial units, and nonprofit organizations. Essential fish habitat, including subtidal waters and estuarine shores and mudflats, could be displaced. The project could affect three structures of significance in the Government Hill Historic District, one Alaskan Native fish camp, a community dance club, Harvard Park, and Sunset Park. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

AN - 36381616; 13113-080011_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across the Knick Arm to provide improved access between the municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su) is proposed. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives include roadways, a bridge, and a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill. The terminus on the Mat-Su side of Knik Arm is the intersection of Point McKenzie and Burma roads, while the terminus on the Anchorage side is the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet at Third Avenue. The preferred alternative would feature an 8,200-foot-long bridge, pier supported bridge. The bridge approach route on the Mat-Su side would be Point MacKenzie Road, from the intersection with Burma Road south of Port MacKenzie and a northern corridor through the Port District. The Anchorage approach to the bridge would e a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill below either Degan Street of Erickson Street. Either the Degan or Erickson alternative would become the connection to the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet and, ultimately, to the proposed reconstructed couplet. Construction phasing would be based on traffic demand, beginning with a two-lane facility and resulting ultimately in a four-lane facility by the design year of 2030. The Erickson Alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing safe, efficient access to Anchorage for the residents of Mat-su, the new road would provide support to the Port of Anchorage expansion project, the Port MacKenzie Development, and several plans for development in the Upper Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the displacement of small parcels of forested land, sedge and grass habitat, and scrub/shrub vegetation, as well as privately owned parcels and could require the relocation of residences, commercial and industrial units, and nonprofit organizations. Essential fish habitat, including subtidal waters and estuarine shores and mudflats, could be displaced. The project could affect three structures of significance in the Government Hill Historic District, one Alaskan Native fish camp, a community dance club, Harvard Park, and Sunset Park. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

[Part 13 of 22] T2 - KNIK ARM CROSSING, ANCHORAGE TO MATANUSKA-SUSTINA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36380883; 13113-080011_0013 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across the Knick Arm to provide improved access between the municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su) is proposed. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives include roadways, a bridge, and a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill. The terminus on the Mat-Su side of Knik Arm is the intersection of Point McKenzie and Burma roads, while the terminus on the Anchorage side is the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet at Third Avenue. The preferred alternative would feature an 8,200-foot-long bridge, pier supported bridge. The bridge approach route on the Mat-Su side would be Point MacKenzie Road, from the intersection with Burma Road south of Port MacKenzie and a northern corridor through the Port District. The Anchorage approach to the bridge would e a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill below either Degan Street of Erickson Street. Either the Degan or Erickson alternative would become the connection to the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet and, ultimately, to the proposed reconstructed couplet. Construction phasing would be based on traffic demand, beginning with a two-lane facility and resulting ultimately in a four-lane facility by the design year of 2030. The Erickson Alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing safe, efficient access to Anchorage for the residents of Mat-su, the new road would provide support to the Port of Anchorage expansion project, the Port MacKenzie Development, and several plans for development in the Upper Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the displacement of small parcels of forested land, sedge and grass habitat, and scrub/shrub vegetation, as well as privately owned parcels and could require the relocation of residences, commercial and industrial units, and nonprofit organizations. Essential fish habitat, including subtidal waters and estuarine shores and mudflats, could be displaced. The project could affect three structures of significance in the Government Hill Historic District, one Alaskan Native fish camp, a community dance club, Harvard Park, and Sunset Park. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

[Part 18 of 22] T2 - KNIK ARM CROSSING, ANCHORAGE TO MATANUSKA-SUSTINA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36380279; 13113-080011_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across the Knick Arm to provide improved access between the municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su) is proposed. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives include roadways, a bridge, and a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill. The terminus on the Mat-Su side of Knik Arm is the intersection of Point McKenzie and Burma roads, while the terminus on the Anchorage side is the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet at Third Avenue. The preferred alternative would feature an 8,200-foot-long bridge, pier supported bridge. The bridge approach route on the Mat-Su side would be Point MacKenzie Road, from the intersection with Burma Road south of Port MacKenzie and a northern corridor through the Port District. The Anchorage approach to the bridge would e a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill below either Degan Street of Erickson Street. Either the Degan or Erickson alternative would become the connection to the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet and, ultimately, to the proposed reconstructed couplet. Construction phasing would be based on traffic demand, beginning with a two-lane facility and resulting ultimately in a four-lane facility by the design year of 2030. The Erickson Alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing safe, efficient access to Anchorage for the residents of Mat-su, the new road would provide support to the Port of Anchorage expansion project, the Port MacKenzie Development, and several plans for development in the Upper Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the displacement of small parcels of forested land, sedge and grass habitat, and scrub/shrub vegetation, as well as privately owned parcels and could require the relocation of residences, commercial and industrial units, and nonprofit organizations. Essential fish habitat, including subtidal waters and estuarine shores and mudflats, could be displaced. The project could affect three structures of significance in the Government Hill Historic District, one Alaskan Native fish camp, a community dance club, Harvard Park, and Sunset Park. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

Preparation date: September 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - KNIK ARM CROSSING, ANCHORAGE TO MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH, ALASKA. AN - 36347746; 12246 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a bridge across the Knik Arm to provide improved access between the municipality of Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (Mat-Su) is proposed. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. All of the build alternatives include roadways, a bridge, and a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill. The terminus on the Mat-Su side of Knik Arm is the intersection of Point McKenzie and Burma roads, while the terminus on the Anchorage side is the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet at Third Avenue. The preferred alternative would feature an 8,200-foot-long bridge, pier supported bridge. The bridge approach route on the Mat-Su side would be Point MacKenzie Road, from the intersection with Burma Road south of Port MacKenzie and a northern corridor through the Port District. The Anchorage approach to the bridge would e a cut-and-cover tunnel under Government Hill below either Degan Street of Erickson Street. Either the Degan or Erickson alternative would be come the connection to the Ingra Street-Gambell Street Couplet and, ultimately, to the proposed reconstructed couplet. Construction phasing would be based on traffic demand, beginning with a two-lane facility and resulting ultimately in a four-lane facility by the design year of 2030. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing safe, efficient access to Anchorage for the residents of Mat-Su, the new road would provide support to the Port of Anchorage expansion project, the Port MacKenzie Development, and several plans for development in the Upper Cook Inlet region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way acquisitions would result in the displacement of small parcels of forested land, sedge and grass habitat, and scrub/shrub vegetation, as well as privately owned parcels and could require the relocation of residences, commercial and industrial units, and nonprofit organizations. Essential fish habitat, including sub-tidal waters and estuarine shores and mudflats, could be displaced. The project could affect three structures of significance in the Government Hill Historic District, one Alaskan Native fish camp, a community dance club, Harvard Park, and Sunset Park. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction.

Preparation date: September 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MILLER CREEK ROAD, MISSOULA COUNTY, MONTANA. AN - 36342701; 12245 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a roadway connecting US 93 with the Miller Creek area in Missoula County, Montana is proposed. The Miller creek area is generally bounded by Miller Creek Road/Upper Miller Creek Road on the east and Lower Miller Creek Road on the west and south. Primary access to the Miller Creek area is currently provided by Miller Creek Road, with an indirect access provided by Garrett Street. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. Build alternatives offer a variety of alignments, while design features are generally the same across alternatives. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5A) segment of Miller Creek Road between US 93 and the north "Y" intersection would be widened to provide four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction), with a left-turn lane at the southbound and northbound approaches to Briggs Street, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. A new traffic control signal would be installed at the intersection of Miller Creek Road and Briggs Street. The north "Y" would be realigned to the north and west of its current location to form a more perpendicular "T" intersection; a new signal would be installed at this intersection. Old US 93 between Brooks and Reserve streets would be widened to three lanes and a center left-turn lane and complemented with bicycle lanes and sidewalks. A new signal would be installed at the intersection of Old US 93 and US 93 (Reserve Street). POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide for efficient and safe access between US 93 and the Miller Creek area, including access to U.S. Forest Service System lands; maintain or improve future operations of US 93; create a transportation solution that provides a long-term and consistent response to comprehensive and transportation plans and accommodates planned growth in the Miller Creek area; and preserves and enhances the character of the roadway corridor neighborhood. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements totaling 9.2 acres under the preferred alternative would convert residential and commercial land to transportation use, requiring the relocation of one residence. Approximately 0.2 acre of wetlands would be displaced, and 0.6 acre of floodplain would be filled. A railroad easement would be required to accommodate one at-grade crossing. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 19 residences and one church. Impervious surface within the watershed would be increased by 6.2 acres, increasing runoff to the Bitterroot River by seven acre-feet per year. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected, and landscaping and the entrance to the private Missoula County Club would be altered. Construction workers would encounter five sites containing contaminated wastes.

Preparation date: September 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BAKER RIVER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, SKAGIT AND WHATCOM COUNTIES, WASHINGTON (PROJECT NO. 2150-033). AN - 36341597; 12247 AB - PURPOSE: The relicensing of the existing Baker River Hydroelectric Project, located on the Baker River in Whatcom and Skagit counties, Washington is proposed. The project consists of two developments, Upper Baker and Lower Baker. The two developments adjoin one another over a distance of 18 miles along the river. The project has an installed capacity of 170.03 megawatts (MW), with a proposed installed capacity of 200,03 MW, and occupies 5,207 acres of lands within the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The project is currently operated as a multi-purpose facility for hydropower generation, flood control storage, recreation, and fisheries. The project owner, Puget Sound Energy, Inc., proposes to relicense the project in accordance with a comprehensive settlement agreement that was developed under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's alternative licensing procedures. The agreement contains 50 proposed license articles covering various environmental protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures. In addition to the applicant's proposal and the modification's under the agreement accepted by the applicant, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. The mitigation and enhancement measures proposed by the applicant and the Commission address fish propagation, upstream and downstream fish passage, reservoir operations and flow releases, gravel and woody debris, shoreline erosion control, historic properties, recreation facilities, water quality, terrestrial resources (including habitat for federally protected species), an evaluation to determine the need for flow continuation valve(s) at the Lower Baker dam and installation of such facilities if warranted, and access, records, and notification procedures to help resource agencies and tribes inform themselves about the implementation and operation of fish protection measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The applicant would continue to provide electric service to approximately 985,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers in a service territory covering 6,300 square miles extending from Olympia to Bellingham and including the greater Everett/Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma area. Environmental protection and enhancement measures, particularly fisheries enhancement measures, would significantly improve the natural, recreational, and economic value of the river corridor. Local Native Americans would benefit culturally and economically from the increase in and maintenance of fish populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would cost $19.8 million annually to operate, which is $10.9 million more than under the No Action Alternative. Annual power generation benefits would be valued at $37.4 million, which is $1.9 million less than under the No Action Alternative. Annual generation would amount to 722,019 MW-hours, which is 1,301 MW-hours less than under the No Action Alternative. The reservoirs would continue to inundate large tracts of land that would otherwise return to terrestrial habitat as well as significant stretches of riverine habitat. Reservoir fluctuations due to releases would result in mudflats and bank erosion upstream of the dams. Releases from the reservoirs would also result in bank erosion and river bottom scour, as well as fluctuations in dissolved oxygen content, downstream of the dams. Fluctuations would also affect cultural resources along the stream bank.

Preparation date: September 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT, FOLSOM DAM RAISE/FOLSOM BRIDGE, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 2002). AN - 36344668; 12239 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a permanent bridge and roadway across the American River immediately downstream of the Folsom Dam in California is proposed. The continued closure of Folsom Dam Road across the American River was proposed by a final EIS issued in April 2005. The Bureau of Reclamation indefinitely closed Folsom Dam Road for security reasons on February 28, 2003, to preserve and protect the core mission of the dam and reservoir and to assure the ultimate safety of the public downstream of the facility. The closure followed a series of security reviews, including a final review conducted by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and subsequent full-scale analysis and evaluation of the agency's recommendations. The evaluation determined that continued uncontrolled access along Folsom Dam Road presented a security risk to the facility and the public. Prior to its closure, Folsom Dam Road served as one of the three key routes across the American River water bodies of Lake Natoma and Folsom Lake. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would reopen the road to public use, were considered in the final EIS of April 2005. Two alternatives would have involved restricted or controlled access across the road. The preferred alternative would restrict access across the bridge to Monday through Friday during morning and evening peak hours (6:00 SM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM). Two-way traffic flow would be allowed during these hours. Vehicles would be restricted to cars, motorcycles, and noncommercial pickup trucks. The desired hourly volume would be 1,500 vehicles. Also evaluated with respect to future cumulative conditions of the preferred alternative is the construction of a new bridge parallel to and below the Folsom Dam Road, which, if completed, would carry much of the traffic that formerly crossed the dam road. This bridge component is addressed in this final supplement to the final EIS, which considers five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1). All action alternatives would provide for a four-lane bridge. Under Alternative 2, the bridge would be accessed by four-lane roadways and full intersections at either end. Under alternatives 3 through 5, the bridge would be accessed via a two-lane roadways and a partial intersection on the east only or partial intersections on both approaches. Alternative 2 ahs been selected as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Road use restrictions proposed by the final EIS would ensure the safety of the dam against terrorist attack, protecting the public, as well as land and structures, downstream of the dam from devastating flooding. Removal of the full closure order would allow safe passage across the river during peak hours. The new bridge would allow unimpeded access across the American River in the vicinity of the dam year-round at all times. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Until the new bridge was constructed, restricted access to the existing bridge would significantly restrict access across the river, increasing already significant congestion on both sides of the reservoir and, in some cases, preventing the movement of goods and people. Bridge and approach construction would result in the loss of 30.2 to 33.9 acres of oak woodland, 5.46 acres of riparian lands, and 2.28 to 2.51 acres of wetlands. White-tailed kites and purple martins could be temporarily disturbed during construction and 152 to 154 elderberry shrubs would be lost; both of these species are federally protected. Construction emissions would exceed federal air quality standards. Visual aesthetics along the river corridor in the vicinity of the bridge would be degraded.

Preparation date: September 7, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - MITTAL STEEL USA/MINORCA MINE, INC. EAST RESERVE PROJECT, NEAR THE CITIES OF BIWABIK AND MCKINLEY, MINNESOTA. AN - 36342650; 12242 AB - PURPOSE: The development of a new open-pit taconite mine, in an area known as the East Reserve between the towns of Biwabik and McKinley, Minnesota is proposed by Mittal Steel USA - Minorca Mine, Inc. Mittal operates the Minorca taconite production facility in Virginia, Minnesota where raw ore is processed into taconite pellets, Mittal has operated the Laurentian Mine near Gilbert since 1990 to supply taconite ore to the Minorca taconite production facility. Economically mineable ore reserves in the Laurentian Mine are expected to be exhausted by 2001 and a new source of ore is necessary to maintain the Minorca production facility operation. Mittal proposes to move their mining operations from the Laurentian Mine to the East Reserve mining area, formerly known as the J&L East Reserve. There would be no increase in annual total tonnage of ore mined in the future relative to the tonnage mined in recent years. The East Reserve mining area would consist of two separate mine pits, which would be dewatered before and during mining; an overburden, waste rock, and lean taconite stockpile area north of the mine pits; and a new haul road extension from the existing Laurentian Mine haul road. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to fish and wildlife habitat and economically sensitive resources, physical impacts on water resources, water use, water quality, and cumulative impacts to wildlife and surface water flows. Under the mining operation proposal, overburden, waste rock, and lean taconite would be stripped and stockpiled to access the underlying taconite ore. Overburden material would be stripped from 476 acres of mine its using hydraulic excavators and the stripped material would be hauled to waste stock piles on the north side of the mine. Waste rock and lean taconite would be drilled and blasted on a bench system in accordance with state rules. The waste rock and lean taconite would also be stockpiled for the mining area. Taconite would be stockpiled separately from overburden and waste rock; the total stockpile area would cover 431 acres. Approximately 30 million cubic yards of waste rock and lean taconite and 17 million cubic yards of over burden would be excavated to expose approximately 119 million long tons of ore. Ore would be removed as necessary to maintain production at the taconite processing facility. Stockpile design and reclamation would commence during early mining and continue throughout the mining phase as portions of the mine become exhausted and inactive. Development of the new haul road and stripping of overburden material would begin upon completion of the environmental review process. Taconite ore mining in the East Reserve would begin in 2007 and continue over the following 18 years. However, the actual operational life of the mine would depend on future mining and economic conditions, which could change due to market price fluctuations for ore. In addition to the proposed action, thus draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and two potential project modifications with respect to in-pit stockpiling and dewatering routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would allow reclamation of Minorca mining activities from the nearly exhausted Laurentian Mine to the East Reserve to meet market demands and extend the productive life of the Minorca taconite production facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All of the existing wildlife habitat within the mining and waste storage site would be disturbed or destroyed, including critical habitat for the endangered Canada lynx. All 22 occurrences of state-protected plant species would be destroyed, including five populations of pale moonwort and 11 populations of St. Lawrence grape fern listed as endangered. Mine development would displace 93.9 acres of wetlands; 29.35 additional acres would be hydrologically impacted though not displaced. Deepwater habitats present within the former McKinley and Mary Ellen pits would be temporarily affected by dewatering from the proposed project, and dewatering would have minor impacts on aquifers in the area. Though dust and noise levels would be significant around the site, these impacts will be lessened over those present due to the development of the Laurentian Mine. Water pollutants, including mercury, would be released into surface and subsurface flows, but no violations of water quality standards are expected.

Essential to producing a marketable bioherbicidal product was the development of liquid culture procedures that would yield propagules that maintained biocontrol efficacy. Since M. terrestris did not produce conidia in liquid culture, various nutritional conditions were evaluated as a means to produce high concentrations of stable fungal propagules such as microsclerotia. Evaluations of propagule formation and biomass yield were carried out in liquid culture media containing a basal salts solution amended with corn steep liquor powder or cottonseed meal combined with 4% or 6% glucose. Hyphal aggregation was observed by day 2, and by day 8 abundant melanized microsclerotia were present in the broth cultures. When applied as a liquid inoculum to hydrilla at rates of 0.1 and 0.2 ml/l, the microsclerotial matrix was capable of significantly reducing hydrilla shoot biomass by as much as 99%. Air-dried microsclerotia were capable of hyphal germination in 24 h and sporogenic germination in 72 h. These capabilities have significance for the use of microsclerotia of M. terrestris as the preferred inoculum for biocontrol purposes. Hyphae germinating from microsclerotia on hydrilla plant surfaces can establish initial infection sites followed several days later by secondary infections resulting from the development and release of spores from the surface of the microsclerotia. The capability of microsclerotia of M. terrestris to remain stable as a dry preparation and to germinate both hyphally and sporogenically upon rehydration enhances the potential of this fungus for use as a nonchemical, biological control agent for hydrilla.

Thirty-nine sampling sites in Botswana and South Africa yielded tightly grouped paleomagnetic directions due south with shallow inclinations and three sites of opposite polarity. Results can be combined with published data from 39 additional Umkondo sites and 33 sites in the Grunehogna Province of Antarctica after restoring East Antarctica to its position next to southern Africa. This Umkondo pole can be correlated with Keweenawan poles from Laurentia. Because both sets of poles are precisely of the same age as well as predominantly of one polarity, the relative orientation of the two cratons within the Rodinia supercontinent is fixed. This implies that the Namaqua-Natal-Maud belt which rims the southern part of the Kalahari craton, faced away from Laurentia. (mod. journ. abst.)

The hypotheses were that a GIS can be programmed to (1) follow the fundamental logic sequence developed for traditional terrain- and image-analysis procedures to infer geologic materials; (2) augment that sequence with correlative geospatial data from a variety of sources; and (3) integrate the inferences and data to develop best-guess estimates. Structured logic trees were developed to guide a terrain analyst through an interactive, geologic analysis based on querying and mentoring logic primarily using imagery and map data as input. The logic trees allow a terrain analyst with limited geology background and experience to rapidly infer the most likely geologic material. A new surface projection method was also developed to estimate depth to bedrock, and an existing method to determine depth to the water table was significantly expanded. The concept was proven to be feasible during blind evaluations conducted at Camp Grayling, MI, a cool, temperate, vegetation-covered site, and at Yuma Proving Ground, AZ, and Fort Irwin, CA, both hot, arid, barren sites. The results show that an analyst can infer the correct geologic conditions 70 80% of the time using these inferential methods.

AN - 36343524; 12236 AB - PURPOSE: The use of uncontaminated dredge spoil from the Upper Chesapeake Bay approach channels to the Port of Baltimore to restore and protect island habitat in the Chesapeake Bay is proposed. Land subsidence, rising sea levels, and wave action have caused valuable island habitats to be lost due to erosion throughout the Chesapeake Bay. Over the past 150 years, it has been estimated that 10,50 acres of island habitat have been lost in the middle eastern portion of the bay alone. These types of islands and their surrounding habitat are preferentially selected by may migratory birds for nesting and production habitat, as well as by fish and wildlife species for a variety of purposes. Though similar vegetative communities may occur on the mainland, isolation, lack of human disturbance, and fewer predators make islands more attractive. If the present rate of loss continues unabated, these island habitats, particularly upland habitats, will probably disappear by 2020. The recommended plan would include a combined island option at James and Barren islands, which maximized national ecosystem restoration benefits as well as an environmentally sound option for the disposal of dredged materials. Specifically, the recommended action would provide for the restoration of 2,072 acres of island habitat to the west and north of the existing James Island remnants; restoration of 72 acres of island habitat on the northern and western exposures of Barren Island; construction of a continuous stone breakwater to the south of Barren Island; and protection of 623 acres of existing island ecosystem habitat. The recommended alternative would achieve these ends via the construction of breakwaters, development of near shore sills, dredged material and sand placement to increase land areas and reduce and reverse shoreline erosion, other shoreline protection measures, creation of wetland cells, alteration of tidal guts, and channel excavation. In addition to the recommended action, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and two action alternatives. The fully funded cost of the recommended plan is estimated at $1.69 billion, of which the federal government would fund $1.27 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island Ecosystem Restoration Study would restore hundreds of acres of aquatic and wildlife island habitat, as well as shoreline and beach, in the Mid-Chesapeake Bay region through the beneficial use of dredged material from the approach channels. The restoration of island habitat would afford improved productivity to the surrounding area, while providing an environmentally sound management method for the use of dredged material. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The placement of dredged material would affect 2,072 acres of shallow marsh at James Island and 94 acres of shallow water at Barren Island. The dredging of an access channel on the northwest shoreline of James Island would also impact 100.9 acres of open-water habitat. An additional protection project at Barren Island would harden 9,760 acres of shoreline, resulting in further habitat losses. Other island restoration measures already underway, particularly those of Poplar Island, Smith Island, Tangier Island, and Taylors Island would result in cumulative loses of the same sort of habitat displaced or degraded by measures taken under the action proposed in this EIS.

A total of 28 sediment cores were extracted from 14 locations on the Passaic River. Measurements of erodibility were performed with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Sedflume to determine erosion as a function of depth for different shear stresses. Additionally, bulk density, organic content, and grain-size distribution as a function of depth were determined. JF - Technical Reports.

Part of the project included deepening of the Dodge Lummus Island Turning Basin and Fisherman's Channel to - 42'. The Port of Miami (Port) previously attempted to complete the project without underwater blasting. The contractor and subsequent surety company were unable to successfully complete the authorized work primarily due to the limestone bedrock that was resistant to dredging. In 2000, the Port approached the Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (District) to complete this dredging project. The District determined that blasting would be required as a construction technique and that Miami Harbor is routinely occupied by a number of marine species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 including the Florida manatee, Trichechus manatus and marine turtles (Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas). As a result the Corps initiated consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act was required. The District also determined that a population of bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, a species protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), had been documented transiting through the Port and could be affected by the proposed blasting. The District submitted an application for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) under the MMPA in June 2002, which was issued in 2004 and renewed in April 2005. Construction began in June 2005. A key determination made by NOAA was that marine mammals were unlikely to be seriously harmed by the detonations due to the District's conservative monitoring and mitigation measures aimed to ensure that neither dolphins, nor manatees would be within a pre-determined safety zone when the detonations occurred. Additionally acoustic and pressure monitoring was conducted for a selected group of blasts, with additional acoustic measurements collected for each blast during construction activities.

This can seriously degrade its utility in the calibration of watershed models where local optima abound. Nevertheless, the method also has advantages, chief among these being its model-run efficiency, and its ability to report useful information on parameter sensitivities and covariances as a by-product of its use. It is also easily adapted to maintain this efficiency in the face of potential numerical problems (that adversely affect all parameter estimation methodologies) caused by parameter insensitivity and/or parameter correlation. The present paper presents two algorithmic enhancements to the GML method that retain its strengths, but which overcome its weaknesses in the face of local optima. Using the first of these methods an "intelligent search" for better parameter sets is conducted in parameter subspaces of decreasing dimensionality when progress of the parameter estimation process is slowed either by numerical instability incurred through problem ill-posedness, or when a local objective function minimum is encountered. The second methodology minimizes the chance of successive GML parameter estimation runs finding the same objective function minimum by starting successive runs at points that are maximally removed from previous parameter trajectories. As well as enhancing the ability of a GML-based method to find the global objective function minimum, the latter technique can also be used to find the locations of many non-global optima (should they exist) in parameter space. This can provide a useful means of inquiring into the well- posedness of a parameter estimation problem, and for detecting the presence of bimodal parameter and predictive probability distributions. The new methodologies are demonstrated by calibrating a Hydrological Simulation Program- FORTRAN (HSPF) model against a time series of daily flows. Comparison with the SCE-UA method in this calibration context demonstrates a high level of comparative model run efficiency for the new method.

AN - 36343015; 12226 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of Lock and Dam 3, in Pierce County, Wisconsin and Goodhue County, Minnesota is proposed. The navigation dam is situated on the Upper Mississippi River six miles upriver of Red Wing, Minnesota. The lock and dam is a key component of the Upper Mississippi River Nine-Foot Channel Navigation Project; it has been in operation since 1937. Two long-standing structural problems at the facility affect navigation safety and the Wisconsin embankments. The dam was constructed on a bend in the river, with the lock on the outside of the bend. As a result, an out draft current sweeps across the upper lock approach toward the gated part of the dam, making navigation of the lock difficult and causing numerous accidents. Since 1963, 11 accidents have occurred in which tows collided with the gated part of the dam. Secondly, the Wisconsin embankments on the Wisconsin side of the facility, placed to maintain water levels in two floodplain lakes, were not constructed to modern standards of engineering design. Currently, the embankments are in a deteriorated conditions and are vulnerable to failure, resulting in significant economic losses and environmental damage. An embankment failure could damage 2,500 acres of high-quality wetland in the Gatenbein Lakes area. Moreover, two large power plants would be forced to shut down. The proposed action would provide an extended landward guide wall and channel modifications to reduce the out draft and otherwise improve navigation safety. Strengthening of the Wisconsin embankments would initially involve rebuilding spot dikes, raising the embankments near the gated part of the dam, and constructing two low overflow spillways. Subsequently, a low embankment between the overflow spillways and high ground downstream of he lock and dam. This second phase would be implemented if the remaining unprotected areas were breached. In addition, the project would mitigate environmental damages caused by construction by including the purchase of 313 acres of floodplain wetland presently in agricultural use and planting native floodplain forest trees. Project implementation would occur over a three-year period. Total cost of the project, including mitigation measures, is estimated at $63.9 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 2.1. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses alternative navigation safety measures, embankment alternatives, and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to improving navigational safety and economic efficiency or operations at the lock and dam and protecting a valuable wetland resource at the site, the project would provide for ecological enhancement through the purchase of wetlands and floodplain forest to be protected in perpetuity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project footprint would displace an area of floodplain forest wetlands, but this would be replaced by a larger area of forested wetlands purchased and preserved as part of the abovementioned mitigation plan.

AN - 36342999; 12224 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a three-mile extension of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 21 from CSAH 42 in Prior Lake to CSAH 18 at the Southbridge Parkway in Shakopee, entirely in Scott County, Minnesota is proposed. A 1990 corridor study first identified the need for extending the highway as part of a plan to provide a new Trunk Highway (TH) 169/Bloomington Ferry Bridge and TH 169 bypass. The study identified the need for an additional north-south roadway between CSAH 83 and CSAH 18 based on Metropolitan Council spacing criteria for developed areas. The project would provide a four-lane expressway through the majority of the corridor, with three options at the CSAH 21/CSAH 18 intersection under consideration. The options include a four-lane at-grade intersection, a six-lane at-grade intersection, and a four-lane interchange. Two alignment options for a portion of the build alternative are also under consideration. Finally, the proposed project would include a 500-space surface transit station (park-and-ride station) in the southwest quadrant of the CSAH 21/CSAH 16 intersection and a pedestrian/bicycle trail along the east side of the roadway. Depending on the CSAH 21/CSAH 18 intersection option chosen, costs of the project range from $14.9 million to $21.4 million in 2005 dollars. Cost for the park-and-ride transit station is estimated at $2.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway extension would provide a needed link in the county-wide roadway system to help manage traffic resulting from current and planned development in Scott County. The addition of another continuous north-south arterial through the county would allow for the efficient movement to a wide range of destination for a wide range of purposes. The placement of the park-and-ride facility would encourage use of mass public transit facilities accessible along the corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace largely agricultural and undeveloped lands, including 8.4 to 8.6 acres of farmland now incorporated into three farms and 18 acres of prime or unique farmland overall. In addition, the project would displace 22 acres of a regionally significant ecological area by Dean Lake, including 7.03 to 7.07 acres of wetlands, and 22.8 to 23.6 acres of forest. As an expressway, CSAH 21 would no longer provide direct access to individual properties, and the six-lane at-grade intersection option would remove right-in access to Shakopee Crossings. Two farms would be severed, and, depending on the alignment chosen, the facility would sever 3.3 or 8.3 acres from an over 2,000-acre parcel of land owned by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The highway facility would introduce contrasting non-agricultural development in a rural area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 36341890; 12227 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Section 404 permit, under the Federal Water Pollution Act of 1972, to the Eastern Municipal Water District is proposed for the construction and operation of an aquifer recharge project in relation to the upper San Jacinto Watershed Groundwater Basin in Riverside County, California. The applicant supplies water to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians. The groundwater basin, which is the primary groundwater supply for the cities of Hemet and San Jacinto, as well as the primary source of irrigation water in the area, suffers from serious overdraft conditions. Current overdraft is estimated at 10,000 acre-feet per year. Four alternatives, including a No Project Alternative, under which no recharge efforts would e undertaken, and a No Action Alternative, under which recharge initiatives would proceed without issuance of the Section 404 permit, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would entail conveyance of State Water Project water to recharge basins located in the San Jacinto River. Water supplied to the recharge basins would infiltrate the basin, where it would be stored until extraction by wells for consumptive uses. Facilities to be provided would include a new 7.7-mile, 54- to 63-inch-diameter water supply pipeline extending through the San Jacinto Valley from the Lakeview Pipeline to the recharge basins; upgrades of two existing pump stations located along the water supply pipeline route; provision of 15 new recharge basins in the river channel, with an overall footprint to 91 acres, drilling of eight extraction wells west of the river; and drilling of six monitoring wells located near the western edge of the recharge basins. The two-phase project would being operation in 2008 and reach full operational capacity between 2013 and 2015. The fourth alternative would involve expansion of the Hemet Water Filtration Plant. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to ensuring a reliable source of water to the Soboba Band, the project would offset aquifer overdraft, provide drought protection, and accommodate future growth in the Hemet/San Jacinto area. The recharge plan would accommodate the tribe's rights to water from the basin and the affected cities by providing an additional 15,000 acre-feet per year of water storage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Formation of the recharge basins would disturb 108 acres and permanently displace 91 acres. Well drilling and other construction activities would result in noise emissions in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of sensitive residential receptor sites. The availability of a substantially increased water supply would spur regional growth, displacing agricultural land and wildlife habitat.

Preparation date: August 23, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA. [Part 2 of 3] T2 - BERTH 97-109 CONTAINER TERMINAL PROJECT, LOS ANGELES HARBOR, CALIFORNIA. AN - 873125954; 12222-2_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop n the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109. Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 412,000 cubic yards of berthing space, 142 acres of backland development, terminal buildings, improvements to the terminal entrance, bridges connecting Berths 97-109 with Berths 121-131, and the temporary relocation of the Catalina Express Terminal to the south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge (at Berths 95 and 93D). The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tug for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of this draft EIS. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

AN - 873125869; 12222-2_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of terminal improvements to allow the accommodation of container ships at Berths 97-109 of the Los Angeles Harbor, Los Angeles, California is proposed. The project area lies within the West Basin portion of the port, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the San Pedro District of the port. The site is roughly bordered by the Southwest Slop n the north, John s. Gibson Boulevard and Pacific Avenue on the west, Knoll Hill, Front Street, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the south, and West Basin Channel on the east. Specifically, the project would provide for a new container terminal for the China Shipping Lanes at Berths 97-109. Key elements of the project would include new wharves, dredging of 412,000 cubic yards of berthing space, 142 acres of backland development, terminal buildings, improvements to the terminal entrance, bridges connecting Berths 97-109 with Berths 121-131, and the temporary relocation of the Catalina Express Terminal to the south of the Vincent Thomas Bridge (at Berths 95 and 93D). The project would be developed in three phases, with estimated completion dates of 2003, 2008, and 2010. Subsequently, optimization or full utilization of each phase would occur in 2005 (one year after the first construction phase), 2015 (eight years after the second construction phase), and 2030 (20 years after the third construction phase). The first phase has been completed and is in operation as a container terminal, but this phase is reassessed as part of the current EIS process. When operating at optimal capacity in 2030, the Berth 97-109 container terminal could handle approximately 1.55 million 20-foot equivalent units per year, which represents an annual throughput of 856,906 containers. To accommodate this annual throughput, 234 ship calls and associated tugboat operations would be required, with two tug for each ship docking and undocking, for a total of four tugs per call, or 936 tugboat operations per year. In addition, a total of 3,720 daily truck trips and up to 950 annual round trip rail movements would be required. Eleven alternatives, including the proposed project and a No Action Alternative, were considered during preparation of this draft EIS. Of these alternatives, six were eliminated from consideration, while five are carried forward for further evaluation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new terminal facilities would enable the port to accommodate state-of-the-art container ships that otherwise would require lightening and/or unloading at sea. Accommodation of such ships within port dock facilities would reduce unloading times, improve multimodal connections, and generally save freight costs. The terminal would employ hundreds of workers and otherwise boost the local and regional economies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would be situated in an area affected by seismic activity, engendering some risk of disruption of service and facility damage due to earthquake. Traffic generated by the terminal would cause six intersections to exceed city congestion criteria. Construction activities would generated noise in excess of federal standards in the vicinity of several residential communities. The facilities would significantly degrade visual aesthetics in the area. Operational emissions of air pollutants could result in localized exceedance of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter standards, and operational odors could reach objectionable levels. Site disturbances and displacements could affect archaeological and paleontological resources, The additional container vessels traversing the harbor would pose significant additional risk of vessel collisions.

AN - 36346252; 12121 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of a 7.9-mile multilane highway facility from the US 311 Bypass (future Interstate 74) n High Point to Hilltop Road in southwest Guilford County, North Carolina is proposed. The county population grew by 73,617 (21.2 percent) between 1990 and 2000. The study area encompasses portions of northeast High Point, the town of Jamestown, and portions of southwest Greensboro. The road system in this area is inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population. Portions of the improved facility would follow existing Greensboro Road and High Point Road, while other portions would be constructed on new alignment. This final EIS results continues the environmental reviewed from a June 2003 draft re-evaluation of a 1992 draft EIS titled "US 29A/US 70A (High Point Road), From US 311 Bypass to the Greensboro Western Urban Loop Near Hilltop Road, Guilford County, North Carolina". The final EIS addresses four build alignment alternatives and a No-Build Alternative as well as a transportation system management/public transportation alternative. The proposed improvements would consist of a combination of existing High Point Road and building a roadway on a new alignment. Each of the alternative corridors would interchange with the US 311 Bypass in High Point and the Greensboro Western Urban Loop. Portions of the facility built along existing High Point Road would maintain existing access allowances and limit future driveways to one access per property. The preferred corridor (Alternative 2) would provide the only means of avoiding impacts to public recreational lands. Cost of the project is estimated at $144.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility, which would serve as a primary arterial and major thoroughfare between High Point and Greensboro, would support the growth in population and employment along both sides of the corridor and improve the safety of local and through travel in the area by providing a bypass of downtown Jamestown. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of several acres of farmland, 91 residences, 44 businesses, and 262 acres of natural wildlife communities, including 1.8 acres of wetlands. Realignment of 2,157 feet of stream would be required. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 60 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter numerous sites containing hazardous materials.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - CONSTRUCTION INTO THE POWDER RIVER BASIN, POWDER RIVER BASIN EXPANSION PROJECT, MINNESOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, WYOMING (FINANCE DOCKET NO. 33407 - DAKOTA, MINNESOTA, AND EASTERN RAILROAD CORPORATION)(FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 2001). AN - 873125174; 12209-9_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the construction and operation of a new rail line and associated facilities in east-central Wyoming, southwest South Dakota, and south-central Minnesota is proposed. The rail line would allow the applicant, Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation (DM&E), to become the third rail carrier to serve Wyoming's Powder River Basin coal mines. The project would involve construction of 280 miles of new line and rehabilitation of 600 miles of existing line. The applicants proposal would include 262.03 miles of new rail line extending from DM&E's existing system near Wasta, South Dakota. The new line would extend generally to the southwest to Edgemont, South Dakota, thence west into Wyoming to connect with existing coal mines located south of Gillette. This portion of the new construction would traverse portions of Custer, Fall River, Jackson, and Pennington counties, South Dakota and Campbell, Converse, Niobrara, and Weston counties, Wyoming. The new rail construction would also include a 13.31-mile line segment at Mankato, Minnesota within Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. DM&E current uses trackage on both sides of Mankato, accessed by trackage rights on rail line operated by the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP). The Mankato construction would provide DM&E direct access between its existing lines and allow DM&E to avoid operational conflicts with UP. The final proposed segment of new rail construction would create a connection between the existing rail systems of DM&E and the I&M Link Railroad. The connection would include construction and operation of approximately 2.94 miles of new rail line near Owatonna, Minnesota in Steele County. To transport coal over the existing system, DM&E would rebuild and upgrade approximately 597.8 miles of rail line along its existing system; 584.95 miles of the rehabilitated track would be along DM&E's mainline between Wasta, South Dakota, and Winona, Minnesota. This upgrade project would cross Winona, Olmstead, Dodge, Steele, Waseca, Nicollet, Blue Earth, Brown, Redwood, Lyon, and Lincoln counties in Minnesota, and Brookings, Kingsbury, Beadle, Hand, Hyde, Hughes, Stanley, Haakon, and Jackson counties in South Dakota. An additional 12.85 miles of existing rail line between Oral and Smithwick, in Fall River County, South Dakota, would also be rebuilt. Rail rehabilitation would include rail and tie replacement, additional sidings, signals, grade crossing improvements, and other system improvements. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered with respect to extension of the system in the final EIS of November 2001. Key issues addressed during scoping for this draft supplemental EIS include those related to horn noise, vibration and horn noise synergies, air quality impacts potentially resulting from increased coal consumption in the region serviced by DM&E, and a programmatic agreement governing cultural resources. Alternative B would call for new construction to occur along the Cheyenne River. Alternative C would avoid new construction in sensitive areas in South Dakota and Wyoming. Alternative D would reconstruct the existing line through Rapid City to Smithwick, provide for new construction to Edgemont, and continue with construction adjacent to the existing rail bed through Newcastle and Moorcroft. As numerous federal and state agencies are involved in the decision regarding choice of a preferred alternative, a number of preferences have been forwarded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of a third rail carrier to serve the Powder River Basin would increase the efficiency of the movement of coal eastward from the basin. The new rail line would also increase the operational efficiency of DM&E's existing rail line in Minnesota and South Dakota. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the rail system would affect geology and soils, surface water and wetlands, groundwater, vegetation, agricultural land and operations, residential and commercial land uses, public land uses, cultural resources, recreation resources, environmental justice with respect to disadvantaged populations and minorities and the elderly, ranching, traditional Native American tribal cultural properties and other cultural resources, visual aesthetics. air quality, certain threatened and endangered species, and safety, including emergency vehicle response times. System operation would result in the generation of noise and vibration.

AN - 36341979; 12207 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a new regulation schedule for the waters of Lake Okeechobee, Florida is proposed. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake within the contiguous United States, measuring 720 square miles in area. It is nationally renowned sport fishing venue and attracts thousands of seasonal tourists who visit the lake for its excellent fishing as well as for other recreational opportunities available on and around the lake. Downstream of the lake, the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee River estuaries are among the most diverse fish and wildlife ecosystems in North America; these sensitive estuarine ecosystem are largely controlled by regulatory discharges from the lake and runoff from upstream basins. These resources have been imperiled due to the inability of the present water management system to adequately store, treat, and convey the volume of clean water needed to support the natural environment as well as agricultural and urban user needs. This problem is further compounded by the sensitivity of the receiving water bodies, including the Everglades, which is an oligotrophic environment that reacts quickly and poorly to nutrient-laden waters, and the estuaries whose sea grasses and benthic fauna are adversely affected by freshwater infused with sediment and related pollutants. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the draft EIS of June 1999. The action proposed by the draft and, again, by the final EIS of November 1999 would allow for a lower overall lake regulation schedule with multiple operational zones in which discharges would be controlled in part by advanced meteorological forecasting and regular consultation with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, engineers, and resource managers. This draft supplemental EIS supports the proposed operational changes to the lake regulation schedule and provides additional planning in response to heavy rainfall and numerous hurricanes, resulting in higher than normal lake levels, since the publication of the final EIS. All alternatives evaluated in the draft and final EISs were based on criteria for managing Lake Okeechobee at a lower level than current water regulation schedule. The issue of public and health safety based on the integrity of the Herbert Hoover Dike was also a key factor in the selection of the preferred alternative. The currently preferred alternative schedule would attempt to balance competing objectives, including flood control, water supply, navigation, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the plan would maintain or improve existing water storage for use by urban and agricultural users in central and southern Florida, while insuring sufficient water capacity within the lake to provide adequate flood protection for surrounding areas; increase species diversity and productivity within the lake's littoral zone and within the downstream estuaries; and improve hydro patterns in the Everglades. Conditions supporting native vegetation, including emergent and submergent vegetation and sea grasses, would be improved within the lake and, to a lesser extent, within the St. Lucie Estuary. Very slight positive economic effects, amounting to an increase of less than 10 percent, would redound to agricultural water supply users in the Everglades Agricultural Area and on the Lower East Coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in phosphorus loading into Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3A would result in vegetative change from saw grass to cattail within three to 13 acres, and a similar change would occur within nine to 31 acres in WCA 2A. Phosphorous loadings could affect periphyton communities within 2,100 acres in WCA 3A and 790 acres within WCA 2A. Some relatively minor increases, amounting to approximately one percent, in the incidence of water shortages would be expected to affect urban water users based on modeling done to evaluate alternative regulation schedules.

AN - 36341803; 12205 AB - PURPOSE: Reconstruction and widening of a 3.5-mile segment of Spaulding Turnpike (New Hampshire 16) in Strafford and Rockingham counties, New Hampshire are proposed. The study corridor extends from the Gosling Road/Pease Boulevard interchange (Exit 1) in the town of Newington, across the Little Bay Bridges, to a point just south of the existing toll facility in the city of Dover. The parkway, which is functionally classified as a principal arterial connecting the Seacoast Region with Concord, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains, serves as a major north-south transportation link in New Hampshire and constitutes a part of the National Highway System. Physical infrastructure deficiencies and high traffic volumes have resulted in congestion, reduce traffic speeds, and increased crash risk in the corridor. Overall crash rate along the corridor has increased an annual rate of 14 percent. This draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, travel demand measures (TDM), transportation system management (TSM) improvements, the proposed upgrade to increase facility capacity, improvements to selected interchange locations and existing roads, and combinations of these alternatives. Various options for rehabilitation, widening, and/or replacement with respect to the Little Bay Bridges, final disposition of the historic General Sullivan Bridge, consolidation of interchanges, and various designs of grade, alignment, and geometry were evaluated. The preferred alternative would involve rehabilitation and widening of the Little Bay Bridges to eight lanes, including three general purpose lands and an auxiliary lane in each direction. maintaining the existing easterly edge of the bridge and widening the facility at the western edge; rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge to a six-ton loading capacity to continue to function as a pedestrian/bicycle/recreational facility and to accommodate emergency response and maintenance vehicles from Newington; provision of system and local connectivity improvements in Dover, including interchange improvements, ramp improvements, a US 4 bridge replacement, signalization, an underpass at the Little Bay Bridges to connect east and west Hilton Park and the are residential neighborhoods, and sound barriers; improvements in Newington, including interchange improvements, ramp alterations, a reconstructed Woodbury Avenue from Fox Run Road intersection through the Exit 3 interchange area, bridge work at the Woodbury Avenue and Spike Way crossings, and signalization improvements; and TSM and TDM provisions, including three park-and-ride facilities and expansion of three intercity bus services and connectivity improvements for three existing bus routes. Costs of the Little Bay Bridges, General Sullivan Bridge, Dover, and Newington components of the project are estimated at $55.5 million, $23.0 million, $39.5 million, and $39.8 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reconstructed facility would improve safety and increase transportation efficiency on this major arterial route by relieving traffic congestion and reducing travel time. Increases in traffic demand would be accommodated. Improvements in transportation efficiency in the corridor would indirectly result in an addition of 1,897 jobs to regional employment rolls by the year 2025. The rehabilitation of the General Sullivan Bridge would preserve a historically significant structure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the full displacement of one commercial property and the partial displacement of second property, reducing the local tax base by $2.2 million. The project would also displace 2.7 acres of prime farmland, though the affected lands have not been used for agricultural purposes for decades. Approximately 20.4 acres of wetlands would be affected. An additional 4.2 percent of the watershed for Pickering Brook would be converted to impervious surface, increasing storm water runoff somewhat, and 1.2 acres of the 100-year floodplain would be affected. Impervious surface would also cover 14.1 acres overlying an aquifer in the area of Dover Point and Newington, which could affect aquifer recharge. Current exceedances of federal noise standards would occur along the corridor, but no new exceedences would result and some existing exceedances would be remediated. New rights-of-way and grading would be required at Bayview Park, a recreational site, and Hilton Park would be impacted during construction. The project would directly or indirectly impact the Beane Farm, Isaac Dow House, and the Portsmouth Water Booster in Newington and the Ira Pickham House in Dover, all of which are historically significant sites. Approximately 44 acres within the construction corridor contain archaeological resources of historic and Native American cultural importance. Construction workers could encounter up to 20 hazardous materials sites.

AN - 68643771; 16802206 AB - We studied the anaerobic biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in a mineral medium by a mixed culture. RDX degradation activity was maintained for more than a year with only the addition of RDX. We observed a steady increase in the protein concentration of the culture from 4.8 microg mL(-1) to more than 24.4 microg mL(-1), a >400% increase. There was only a slight increase in protein in the RDX unamended control bottles containing live culture, increasing from 4.8 microg mL(-1) to 7.8 microg mL(-1). Radiolabeled (14)C-RDX confirmed mineralization of the cyclic nitramine to (14)CO(2). After 164 days, 35% of the radiolabel was recovered as 14CO2. This is the first report demonstrating the mineralization of RDX when it serves as a growth substrate for a mixed culture.

This paper reports the development and application of a two-dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic model to simulate suspended sediment concentration distribution in a groyne field. The governing equations of flow hydrodynamic model are depth-averaged two-dimensional Reynold's averaged momentum equations and continuity equation in which the density of sediment laden-flow varies with the concentration of suspended sediment. The depth-averaged two-dimensional convection and diffusion equation was solved to obtain the depth-averaged suspended sediment concentration. The source term is the difference between suspended sediment entrainment and deposition from bed surface. One laboratory experiment was chosen to verify the simulated flow field around a groyne, and the other to verify the suspended sediment concentration distribution in a meandering channel. Then, the model utility was demonstrated in a field case study focusing on the confluence of the Kankakee and Iroquois Rivers in Illinois, United States, to simulate the distribution of suspended sediment concentration around spur dikes. Results demonstrated that the depth-averaged, two-dimensional model can approximately simulate the flow hydrodynamic field and concentration of suspended sediment. Spur dikes can be used to effectively relocate suspended sediment in alluvial channels.

This scheme is a variant of so-called "Tikhonov regularization" in which the parameter estimation process is formulated as a constrained minimization problem. Use of the methodology eliminates the need for a modeler to formulate a parsimonious inverse problem in which a handful of parameters are designated for estimation prior to initiating the calibration process. Instead, the level of parameter parsimony required to achieve a stable solution to the inverse problem is determined by the inversion algorithm itself. Where parameters, or combinations of parameters, cannot be uniquely estimated, they are provided with values, or assigned relationships with other parameters, that are decreed to be realistic by the modeler. Conversely, where the information content of a calibration dataset is sufficient to allow estimates to be made of the values of many parameters, the making of such estimates is not precluded by "preemptive parsimonizing" ahead of the calibration process. While Tikhonov schemes are very attractive and hence widely used, problems with numerical stability can sometimes arise because the strength with which regularization constraints are applied throughout the regularized inversion process cannot be guaranteed to exactly complement inadequacies in the information content of a given calibration dataset. A new technique overcomes this problem by allowing relative regularization weights to be estimated as parameters through the calibration process itself. The technique is applied to the simultaneous calibration of five subwatershed models, and it is demonstrated that the new scheme results in a more efficient inversion, and better enforcement of regularization constraints than traditional Tikhonov regularization methodologies. Moreover, it is argued that a joint calibration exercise of this type results in a more meaningful set of parameters than can be achieved by individual subwatershed model calibration.

This is adjacent to Fort Totten, a formerly used defense site. Some of the mercury levels in these sediments exceeded New York State screening values. A human health risk assessment was accomplished, based on conservative assumptions. The risk assessment examined the potential for adverse health effects from direct contact with and ingestion of contaminated sediments/surface water and ingestion of biota. Potential exposures to recreational receptors including adults and children were examined. The highest numerical risk results from finfish ingestion and then second for exposure from dermal contact to the sediments. The only exposure pathway showing a hazard quotient greater than unity is finfish ingestion for the child. In summary, overall risk to this mercury exposure is minimal in spite of the state screening value being exceeded.

Several types of chemicals were tested including polymer emulsions, lignosulfonates, chloride salts, synthetic fluids, an asphalt emulsion, a polysaccharide solution, a polyacrylamide, and a guar gum. Each product was placed in an individual test section at a rate of 3.8 L/m super(2) using an admix construction method (grade/spray/till/compact/spray). Fourteen test sections were constructed and observed at 30-day intervals to monitor product performance. Data from both stationary and mobile particle collectors were analyzed to determine the ability of each product to suppress dust for extended periods. Several products are recommended for use on roads in arid climates as a result of this evaluation.

Little is known about the manner in which frazil forms, how it is drawn down to the depths at which the intakes are located, and how to prevent frazil from fully blocking intakes. This paper presents an overview of frazil formation and intake blockage in the Great Lakes. The paper first reviews the current understanding of the processes of frazil formation and intake blockage, and it adds new insight regarding the processes. It then describes the problem by way of case-study examples of frazil blockage of two intakes in Lake Michigan. Based on the case studies, and experiences with other intakes in the Great Lakes, the paper outlines methods for monitoring and mitigating frazil blockage. Two options are recommended: monitoring rate of water level drop in the pump forebay onshore from the intake, and rate of headloss increase between the intake and the forebay. Laboratory modeling of intake blockage is then presented.

Development of an automatic adaptive procedure will rely on estimating and/or controlling computational error by adapting the mesh parameters with respect to a particular measurement. Since a primary source of error in a discrete approximation of the shallow-water equations is inadequate mesh resolution, an adaptive mesh can be an efficient approach to increase accuracy. This paper introduces a simple indicator for the shallow water equations that measures the error in a norm of mass conservation to determine which elements require refinement or coarsening. The resulting adaptive grid gives results comparable to a much higher resolution (uniformly refined) mesh with less computational expense.

AN - 36344507; 12187 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of 15 miles of New York Route (NY) 347 from its western terminus at the Northern State Parkway southeast to its eastern terminus at NY 25A in Suffolk County, New York is proposed. NY 347 is lined with numerous strip shopping centers, smaller commercial businesses, residential areas, general office space, government office complexes, a regional shopping mall, and parcels of undeveloped land. A study commissioned in 1991 indicated system-wide problems related to congestion and safety. This draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative and a build alternative with various options at three major intersections. The build alternative would provide an eight-lane arterial between the New York State Parkway and NY Route 347/454 split and a six-lane arterial between the split and NY 25A. This design would, in effect, provide for one additional travel lane in each direction for the entire length of the corridor. In addition, new entrance and exit ramps would be constructed at the bridge for the Northern State Parkway at New Highway. The alternative would include options for two grade-separated interchanges at critical high-volume intersections, namely, the NY 347/454 split, the intersection of NY 347 and Middle County Road, and the intersection of NY 347 and County Road 97 (Nicolls Road). The options for the first and the third intersection would include a grade separated structure or an at-grade intersection would be provided. For the second intersection, a road separated structure would be provided. All other intersections would remain conventional at-grade intersections with wider approach roadways and improved traffic signal systems, with the exception of the NY 347/NY 12 intersection, where a composite jug handle configuration spanning three intersections would be constructed. Various existing median openings would be closed to prevent vehicle crashes resulting from left- and U-turn movements. The alternative would also include transportation system management features such as centralized control and monitoring of all traffic signals, installation of variable message signs upstream of key decision-making points, and closed circuit television cameras to monitor traffic flow and traffic incidents. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the capacity, safety, and efficiency of NY 347 significantly, relieving congestion and correcting poor roadway geometrics. The more efficient would contribute to a general decline in per vehicle release of air pollutants in the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the13 commercial and residential relocations and various impacts to 396 residences and 257 businesses. Wetlands could also be displaced and otherwise affected by increased traffic levels on the facility. Wetland displacement would affect the areas flood storage volume, increasing potential flood hazards. Runoff and percolation could affect the aquifer underlying NY 347, which constitutes the primary source of drinking water within the study area. Eight architecturally significant sites within the project corridor would be impacted by the project, and one of the six archaeological sites discovered within the corridor could contain significant artifacts. Though the project would displace up to eight public parks and recreational facilities as well as open space, but most of these impacts would be limited to the construction period. Traffic-generated noise levels would violate federal standards in the vicinity f 590 sensitive receptor sites; cost-effective noise abatement measures could reduce this figure by 361. Contaminated waste sites could be encountered during construction.

AN - 36344469; 12178 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of transit facilities in the Southeast Corridor of the Houston Metropolitan Area of Texas is proposed. The services would be provided along a line extending from downtown Houston to east of Martin Luther King Boulevard to serve downtown Houston, the universities area (i.e., Texas Southern University and the University of Houston) and the Southeast Transit Center. The corridor is identified in both the Houston-Galveston Council 2025 Regional Transportation Plan and the 2025 METRO Solutions as a priority for transportation investment. A 6.8-mile minimum operable segment (MOS), extending from downtown Houston southeast along Scott Street and Griggs Road to the vicinity for Interstate 610, was identified. The MOS lies geographically within the limits of the locally preferred investment strategy alignment for the Southeast Corridor; the alignment extends southeast to Hobby Airport. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The build alternatives include light rail transit (LRT- bus rapid transit (BRT) convertible to LRT, and BRT. BRT and LRT are part for a broader family of high capacity transit technology referred to as Guided Rapid Transit (GRT). BRT convertible is presented as an interim BRT solution capable to being converted to LRT when warranted by rider ship and development. The build alternatives would provide for the provision of new fixed-guideway transit services in the corridor. The build alternative consider two alignment options. The alignments would extend from Bagby in downtown Houston southeast to an end-of-the-line terminus on Griggs Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. Separate alignments for the LRT and the BRT alternatives have been identified between Bagby and St. Emanuel in the downtown area. The LRT alignment would be located on Capitol while the BRT alignment under both BRT alternatives would be located on Capitol and Risk. East of St. Emanuel, there would be a common alignment for the LRT and BRT alternatives extending east along Capitol and then south along Scott Street to Wheeler Street. From Wheeler Street to the end of the line, the build alternatives would consist of two alignment options: 1) the base alignment on Scott Street and Griggs Road and 2) the Wheeler-Martin Luther King Boulevard alignment on Wheeler Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard, and Griggs Road. Both alignment options would terminate on Griggs Road and Beekman Road east of Martin Luther King Boulevard. The build alternative would provide access at 10 to 11 stations, and include a park-and-ride lot at the Palm Center Station, which is the terminus for the project. Depending on the design alternative and alignment chosen, estimated costs of the project $150.7 million to $349.6 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The BRT or LRT would provide the necessary capacity to accommodate existing and future transit demands along the corridor. Access to major activity centers, including downtown Houston, the universities area, and the Texas Medical Center, would be enhanced. Neighborhood revitalization and economic development along the corridor would receive significant support. Reduced use of automobiles would decrease air pollution and traffic and ease the parking shortage. Base employment during construction would result in the creation of 416 jobs over three years for the LRT, 258 jobs over three years for the BRT convertible to LRT, and 210 jobs over three years for the BRT, Operation of any alternative would require the employment of 100 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development for the LRT alternative would result in the displacement of 127 whole parcels, containing 59 residential 64 commercial, and four other properties; 91 residences and 78 businesses would be displaced. BRT alternatives would displace 84 or 93 parcels, consisting of 29 or 41 residential, 19 or 49 commercial, and two or three other properties; 54 or 64 residences and 35 businesses would be displaced. The rapid transit alternatives would conflict with existing deed-restricted neighborhoods, particularly the Greater Third Ward Community. Some parking spaces would be lost. LRT operational noise would significantly affect four to 36 residential sites. The fixed guideway system and related facilities would impinge visually on area aesthetics. The Wheeler-Martin Luther King Boulevard alignment would pass through MacGregor Park, and the project could affect one building eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and three historic districts. The LRT storage and maintenance facility would displace one additional wooded lot with space canopy cover and several other partially developed lots. Surface waters of Brays Bayou could be affected. Construction workers would encounter from 52 to 65 sites potentially containing hazardous materials.

LUCIE RIVER, COUNTY ROAD 714 (MARTIN HIGHWAY)/SW 36TH STREET/INDIAN STREET, FROM FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE TO EAST OF WILLOUGHBY BOULEVARD, MARTIN COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36349039; 12176 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new bridge crossing of the South Fork of the St. Lucie River from Florida's Turnpike to east of Willoughby Boulevard in Martin County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered by the Turnpike to the west, Federal Highway (State Route (SR) 5/US 1) to the east, the Interstate 95 (I-95) crossing of the St. Lucie Canal to the south, and the Martin/St/Lucie County line to the north. The project would extend along SR 714/Martin Highway and Southwest 36th Street, providing a new bridge over the South Fork and connecting with Indian Street. In April 1998, a feasibility study was completed addressing the improvement of SR 714 and the Palm City Bridge from four lanes to either six or eight lanes between Florida's Turnpike and Federal Highway. The study determined that it is not feasible to widen the existing SR 714 corridor and the Palm City Bridge. The report recommended that additional corridors be evaluated to provide the needed capacity between Palm City and Stuart, which would require a crossing of the only major tributary of the St. Lucie River. A report on new bridge crossing possibilities was completed in March 2001. Seven corridor alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this final EIS. In addition, a two-lane and a four-lane cross-section are evaluated for each corridor. Combinations of two two-lane corridors are evaluated to achieve the needed four lanes. Finally, the corridor is broken down into four segments, and two or three final alternatives are presented for each segment. The combination of final alternatives would provide for a four-lane facility from the Turnpike to Kanner Highway and a four- or six-lane facility from Kanner Highway to Willoughby Boulevard. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an additional crossing of the St. Lucie River in a highly developed area of Martin County, complementing other transportation network developments in the area. The current bottlenecks at existing crossings would be relieved area growth would be accommodated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of numerous residential and commercial structures as well as sites providing public services. Five public recreation sites would be affected. Up to three acres of wetland would be displaced, and a portion of the highway would lie within floodplain land. Traffic generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at numerous locations along the roadway corridor. Construction activities would encounter seven hazardous materials sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36341002; 12153 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new fully-controlled access facility, to be designated Interstate 66 (I-66), between the Northern Bypass (I-66) in Somerset and I-75 south of London in Pulaski, Rockcastle, and Laurel counties, Kentucky is proposed. The current facilities serving this corridor, particularly Kentucky Route 80, are characterized by congestion and high accident races. Expected economic development in the region would exacerbate this situation and could limit the speed and effectiveness of development. Twelve alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Action alternatives differ largely due to alignments rather than design. All alignments would provide for sufficient rights-of-way for a four-lane interstate freeway facility with depressed medians. The facility would feature two, 12-foot lanes in each direction, 12-foot outside shoulders, and a minimum median width of 60 feet, with six-foot inside shoulders and an outside flop ratio of 6:1. Access to the facility would be limited to interchanges. Depending on the alternative chosen, cost of the project ranges from $144.2 million to $212.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to improving linkage between the cities of Somerset and London, the project would combine with the Somerset Northern Bypass to provide a link for traffic from the Cumberland Parkway, via the Northern Bypass, to I-75 to the east. The combination of these facilities would provide system linkage between I-75 and the Louie B. Nunn Parkway (formerly the Cumberland Parkway), continuing on to I-65, enhancing regional mobility through the creation of an interstate-to-interstate link within the region. I-66 would also serve to connect the study area to other modes of transport, particularly with reference to the Southern Kentucky Intermodal Park and the Somerset Northern Bypass. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in a moderate number of residential and business displacements. Taken together the parches of farmland, forest, riparian land, and karst displaced would be significant for each land use category. Stream segments would be relocated, floodplain displaced, and wetlands reduced. Habitat suitable to federally protected plant and animal species would be displaced, and a small area of high quality mussel habitat would be lost. Archaeological and historic sites and public recreational land would be adversely affected under some alternatives. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at numerous locations. Construction workers could encounter hazardous waste sites along the corridor.

Preparation date: July 5, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Exposure to cadmium-phenanthrene mixtures elicits complex toxic responses in the freshwater tubificid oligochaete, Ilyodrilus templetoni. AN - 67887318; 16465559 AB - The joint toxicity of metal-hydrocarbon mixtures in sediments was investigated using cadmium (Cd) and phenanthrene (Phen) as model contaminants. Sediment bioassays were utilized to quantify effects of individual and combined contaminants in the bulk-deposit feeding oligochaete Ilyodrilus templetoni. Combined contaminants elicited antagonistic lethal effects and independent responses for feeding rate (measured as sediment ingestion). The 10-d LC(50) for Cd alone was 1375 mg kg(-1) (95% C.I. 1340-1412), whereas Phen elicited no mortality even when loaded to sediment saturation. The presence of Phen decreased Cd lethality, increasing the LC(50) of Cd by as much as 40%. Regression analyses indicated that Phen was nearly 10 times more potent than Cd in eliciting feeding rate reductions. Exposure to Cd-Phen mixtures resulted in feeding rate reductions equivalent to those caused by Phen alone. The marked reduction in sediment ingestion induced by the co-pollutant Phen reduced exposure to Cd via ingestion. We suggest that this Phen-induced reduction in Cd exposure decreased Cd bioaccumulation and subsequent lethality. More generally, we suggest that even if the toxicological effects among dissimilarly acting chemicals (including metals and hydrocarbons) are independent, contaminant mixtures may elicit unexpected interactive effects facilitated by modifying exposure.

County Business Patterns annually provides employment data for all U.S. counties and states at the most detailed industrial level, but two out of every three employment statistics are missing. In rural areas, this percentage is higher still. To protect the rights of employers to confidentiality, the U.S. Census Bureau has not disclosed the number of employees in 1.5 million cases in the 2002 data. Instead, it offers a suppression flag that represents an employment range. This article presents a two-stage method for replacing all the flags with employment estimates. Taking advantage of the hierarchical nature of the data both by industry and geography, the first stage identifies the smallest possible range for each suppressed number. Ensuring that employment adds up correctly up and down the industrial and geographical hierarchies, the second stage iteratively adjusts all the estimates until millions of constraints are met. The procedure simultaneously considers all industries in all counties, states, and the nation to produce a complete data set, which is available to the research community on the Internet.

AN - 36342289; 12154 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of highway improvements within northeastern Aroostook County, Maine is proposed to improve transportation within the area and connections between this area and other portions of the US and Canada. The county suffers from a long-term loss of population, a high unemployment rate, and a lack of access to surrounding provinces. The 100-mile-long study corridor, which is located in the northeastern corner of the state, extends from Interstate 95 (I-95) at Island Falls to I-95 at Houlton, and north to Fort Kent and Hamlin. Four corridor alternatives and a No Action Alternative were considered in this draft EIS of February 2002. Corridor H modified would extend 99 miles on a new location from I-95 at Smyrna Mills to Madawaska. Corridor K modified would extend 95 miles on a new location from Houlton to Madawaska. Composite Corridor 1, which would extend 140 miles, would upgrade the existing facility from Houlton to Fort Kent and to Van Buren. Composite Corridor 2 would extend 142 miles on a new location from I-95 at Smyrna Mills to Presque Isle and upgrade corridors from Presque Isle to Fort Kent and to Van Buren. Depending on the corridor selected, the project would provide facilities on new locations and variously upgrade Route 1, Route 1A, Route 161, and/or local secondary roads. Each corridor involves the construction of bypasses to remove traffic from town centers. These four alternatives are divided into 11 segments for consideration in this draft supplement to the draft EIS. The currently proposed alignment for the highway would follow three of the 11 segments and associated corridor management plans for the portion of Route 1 between Presque Isle and Caribou and between Caribou and Van Buren. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The highway improvements would maintain and expand the county's economy as it affects population, employment, diversification of jobs, and income. The facility would enhance the marketability of the county's existing and potential economic access, improve access to jobs and services, improve connections to markets within and outside the county, and improve access to intermodal transport connections. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 1,922 to 2,903 acres of land, including farmland, forested land, and land on which commercial and residential structures are situated. Archaeological and historic sites potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and significant trail rights-of-way would be affected. The project could require construction within a 100-year floodplain, and 180 to 278 acres of wetlands could be displaced. Deer wintering area and wading bird habitat would be lost, and critical habitat for Canada lynx, a federally protected species, could be displaced.

Silicate minerals remove twice the CO sub(2) of carbonate minerals per mole of calcium in runoff during weathering. Bedrock weathering chemistry was investigated in the White River watershed of northeastern USA to investigate whether there are seasonal differences in carbonate and silicate weathering chemistry. Geographic Information Systems analyses of bedrock geology were combined with major element concentrations in river waters to gain an understanding of the consistency of mineral weathering during three seasons. The percent of carbonate mineralogy comprising the bedrock in tributaries of the White River varied from less than 5% to 45% by area. A mass balance calculation using major element concentrations in waters was applied to estimate the seasonal relationships between bedrock geology and bicarbonate flux. In all tributaries and the main stem of the White River the highest calculated percent of bicarbonate from carbonate mineral weathering was measured in the late fall. The results suggest that carbonate and silicate bedrock weathering processes are seasonally controlled. Thus single season sampling could not accurately represent an entire year's geochemical budget. In the White River, water samples obtained solely during the summer would consistently underestimate the total yearly source of bicarbonate from carbonate bedrock weathering. The same sample set would also provide data that would lead to an underestimation of the yearly atmospheric CO sub(2) draw down by bedrock weathering in the watershed. For example at four of the seven locations studied there was an almost two-fold difference between summer and spring calculated atmospheric CO sub(2) consumption rates.

Given the sparse nature of rainfall runoff and the flashiness of the rainfall runoff in this environment, limited flow and contaminant runoff data were available to compare with model results. This limitation made a physically based distributed parameter rainfall-runoff model essential to quantify the movement of DU most effectively. This analysis did not consider the complex reactions and transformations that DU typically undergoes in the natural environment. Rather, the focus was to determine if small (1.5 mm diameter) solid particles with high specific gravities could move through the watershed during large storm events. The analysis suggests that DU movement, even from the energy of a 100-years storm is minimal This paper discusses the modeling methodology, study site, field observations, model results, and future model development recommendations.

CP05-91-000 AND CP05-380-000). AN - 36340553; 12146 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an LNG import terminal, including an LNG ship berth and unloading facilities, on the southeastern shoreline of Lavaca Bay, south of Point Comfort, in Calhoun County, Texas is proposed by Point Comfort Pipeline Company. More specifically, the proposed facilities would include a new marine terminal along Lavaca Bay that would include one berth to unload up to 120 LNG ships per year; two single containment LNG storage tanks, each having a nominal working volume of 1.0 million barrels; and LNG vaporization and processing equipment. The Calhoun County Navigation District (CCND) is developing plans to augment the existing harbor by dredging a new turning basin at the confluence of the Port Comfort Channel and the Alcoa Industrial Chanel located north and west of the LNG terminal site. This augmentation would encompass construction of Calhoun Point Comfort's new ship berth as well as the CCND's new turning basin and require dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards of material from Lavaca Bay. This activity would be essential to the operation of the Calhoun LNG facilities as Calhoun Point Comfort would use the CCND's turning basin to maneuver its LNG ships. To allow for transport of the imported LNG, the applicant would construct 27.1 miles of a 36-inch gas pipeline; 0.25-mile of eight-inch lateral pipeline leading to Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and 0.25-mile of 16-inch lateral leading to the Transco meter station; 10 delivery points/interconnects, including two delivery points with Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation and eight interconnect points for nine pipeline interconnections with existing natural gas pipeline systems; and a pig launcher facility and mainline valve (MLV) at the LNG terminal, an MLV near the middle of the pipeline, and a pig receiver facility and MLV at the northern pipeline terminus. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponement of the proposed action, alternative LNG terminal sites, and alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide facilities necessary to import, store, and vaporize an average of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day of liquefied natural gas to provide a competitive supply of natural gas to local industrial customers, such as Formosa Hydrocarbons Company and Formosa Plastics Corporation, and other energy-consuming customers in Texas, and deliver natural gas to existing interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines near Edna, Texas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The LNG project would affect 568.9 acres of land and water. Construction of the LNG terminal would affect 73 acres of land and 79.3 acres of Lavaca Bay for the CCND's turning basin and Calhoun Point Comfort's ship berth. The pipeline would traverse mostly open land, including rangeland and farmland, following existing transportation easements and rights-of-way. Pipeline installation would disturb 416.6 acres of land, including 23.8 acres of wetlands, though operation of the new facilities would require only 97.7 acres. Four operational oil and gas wells would lie within 150 feet of the pipeline rights-of-way. Dredging of 4.2 million cubic yards from the bay would result in destruction of benthos and short-term turbidity in the water column. Project facilities would lie within essential fish habitat for three species.

AN - 36346022; 12140 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a dredged material containment facility (DCMF) in Baltimore City and Mansonville, Maryland is proposed to receive dredged spoil from the Baltimore Harbor channels north of the North Point-Rock Point line. Both the Maryland Dredged Material Management Program and the Federal Dredged Material Management Program have recommended the development of several DCMFs for Baltimore Harbor dredged sediments during the next 20 years. The creation of the proposed Mansonville DCMF would represent one of three actions recommended by the Maryland body's executive committee. The facility was selected for development prior to the other two proposed facilities to meet short-term dredged material placement needs. A shortfall of dredged material placement capacity is excepted to occur in fiscal year 2007. This shortfall presents an urgent need to implement new options capable of accepting the annual volume of 1.5 million cubic yards of dredge spoil. The recommended alternative would provide for a DMCF at Masonville capable of containing 16 million cubic yards of material dredged from the Baltimore Harbor over a 20-year period. The proposed site lies within the estuarine reaches of the Patapsco River, which is generally considered to be part of Baltimore Harbor. More specifically, the site is located approximately four miles upstream of Key Bridge and approximately one mile downstream of Hanover Bridge. on the southern shore of the river. Six DMCF alignments were originally developed based on engineering constraints to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternative. The site would accommodate annual placement of 500,000 to 1.0 million cubic yards. This supplement to the May 2006 draft EIS evaluated an alternative source for sand borrow for construction of portions of the containment structure. It is recommended that sand borrow be taken from the Seagirt Marine Terminal dredge spoil for use in construction of the DMCF. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new DCMF would provide for the disposal of contaminated spoil, unsuitable for ocean or bay disposal, from maintenance dredging within the Baltimore Harbor, allowing the harbor authorities to maintain the navigability of harbor channels and basins. The containment of contaminated dredge spoil would remove pollutants from the Chesapeake Bay estuary and prevent the future release of the contaminants into the water column. Creation of a fill at the site would provide an area for development of future facilities or estuarine conservation measures. Environmental remediation measures undertaken during the development of the site, including the removal of 25 derelict vessels and the capping of contaminated sediments at the site, would enhance the environmental condition of the immediate area and the water quality of the estuary in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The footprint of the recommended alternative would displace 141 acres, of which 10 acres would be shoreline or upland, 127 acres open water, one acre of wetland, and three acres unauthorized fill. The filling of open water would destroy benthic and finfish habitat.

AN - 36340644; 12141 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water management plan to protect the habitat of the federally protected Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS) in the Everglades National Park (ENP), Big Cypress National Preserve, and adjacent lands in southern Florida is proposed. Water levels in the affected areas have been altered due to structural and land use changes resulting from the Central and Southern Florida Project, which provides water supply and flood control benefits in and around the ENP. In February 1999, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a biological opinion on modified water deliveries to the Everglades National Park Project, Test 7 of the Experimental Program, and the C-111 Project. The opinion indicated that current water management operations of Test 7 would jeopardize the continued existence of the CSSS in the ENP, Big Cypress National Preserve, and adjacent lands in southern Florida. The FWS opinion also outlined a recommended alternative to rectify the situation; this alternative would require maintaining water levels at ENP 205 at or below six feet National Geodetic Veridical Datum for 60 consecutive days between March 1 and July 15; ensuring that 30 percent, 45 percent, and 60 percent of required regulatory releases crossing the Tamiami Trail enter the ENP east of the L-67 extension in 20000, 2001, and 2002, respectively, or produce hydroperiods and water levels in the vicinity of the South Dade Conveyance System that meet or exceed conditions that would result from implementation of the exact provisions of Text 7, Phase II operations; and produce hydroperiods and water levels in the vicinity of certain subpopulations of CSSS that equal or exceed conditions that would be produced by implementing the exact provisions of Test 7, Phase II operations. Based on the FWS opinion, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers propose to implement an interim operational plan for the protection of the CSSS. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) were considered in the draft EIS of February 2001. The Corps' preferred alternative (Alternative 5), which was to be implemented in two phases, would meet the FWS targets. The recommended alternative outlined in the final EIS of May 2002 would increase flows from S-332B to 500 cubic feet per second (cfs) from August to January, 325 cfs in February, June, and July, and 125 cfs from March to May. The S-176 structure operation thresholds would change slightly. A draft supplemental EIS, issued in October 2001, considered a new alternative (Alternative 7). In addition to some revisions in the system, Alternative 7 would include a second seepage reservoir for Pump Station S-332B, the removal of the southern four miles of Levee 67 Extension and canal, and the extension of the S-333 spillway apron by 30 feet. Alternative 7R, a revision of Alternative 7, is now the recommended alternative. This draft supplement to the final EIS of confirms the selection of Alternative 7R as the recommended alternative. Seven other alternatives are considered in the supplement. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The interim operational plan proposed by the Corps of Engineers would provide optimum protection for breeding CSSS populations, while continuing to meet the flood protection and water supply requirements authorized under the Central and Southern Florida Project. Removal of a berm in the vicinity of Taylor Slough would allow sheet flow to enter the slough, improving its hydrological regime. Increased ponding depths and hydroperiods would provide more natural hydrological conditions, preventing exotic nuisance plant species and encouraging natural wetland species. A reduction in annual flooding duration would also be beneficial to native vegetation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Effects on hydrology in some areas of the would be negative. Increased flood duration could lead to some loss of wetland vegetation as well as upland vegetation in the southern portion of the affected areas.

AN - 36340409; 12143 AB - PURPOSE: The reevaluation and reformulation of the authorized shore protection project for West Onslow Beach and New River Inlet (Topsail Beach), North Carolina is proposed. Topsail Beach is the southernmost of three towns on Topsail Island, located on the southeastern North Carolina coast. The primary study area for this report includes the town of Topsail Beach and associated borrow sites nearby. The area is subject to damages associated with hurricane and tropical storm surges and littoral beach erosion. Analyses and recommendations for the rest of Topsail Island, namely, Surf City and North Topsail Beach, are being conducted under a separate authority. The study at hand indicates that the most practicable plan of protection for the primary study area would consist of a berm and dune project, with terminal transitions, extending along approximately five miles of the oceanfront. The recommended plan would provide for a sand dune constructed to an elevation of 12 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), fronted by a 50-foot-wide beach berm constructed to an elevation of seven feet above NVGD. The berm-and-dune projects extends along 26,200 feet, including 23,200 feet for the main fill and 2,000 feet for a transition fill at the north end of the project and 1,000 feet for a transition fill at the south end of the project. First-cost of the project is estimated at $22.2 million.; annual costs are estimated at $3.0 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 3.99. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing protection against storm surges and littoral beach erosion, the project would enhance the beach strand available for recreational use and provide habitat for a variety of plants and animals. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Beach and dune fill could affect foraging habitat for piping plover, a federally protected species, and nesting areas for Kemp's ridley sea turtle, green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, and leatherback sea turtle, also federally protected species. Hopper dredges used to collect beachfill from offshore areas could affect the sea turtles as well. Initial dredging and periodic dredging for beach nourishment following the initial beach formation activities would be planned to avoid turtle nesting season and seasons when warm waters attract the turtles to offshore areas.

AN - 36340520; 12136 AB - PURPOSE: The trust transfer to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) by the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation (MHA Nation) of 469 acres of land within the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in northeastern Ward County, North Dakota is proposed to allow for the construction and operation of a 15,000-barrel-per-day clean fuels refinery and the growing of hay to feed buffalo. The refinery, to be owned by the MHA Nation would refine synthetic crude oil from Canada into gasoline and diesel fuels. The refinery and hay operation would be located on a site near Makoti. The refinery site would occupy 190 acres, while the hay operation would occupy the remaining 279 acres. The proponent's proposed action would involve the development of the refinery development and forage production operation by the BIA and the issuance of an NPDES permit by the Environmental Protection Agency for the efflue3nt discharges related to refinery operation. In addition to this alternative, this DEIS considers three construction alternatives, and a No Action Alternative with respect to the refinery and three effluent discharge alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would involve refusal to issue the NPDES permit. The proposed refinery would use 10,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) of synthetic crude oil, 2,000 BPSD of fuel butane, 6.0 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas, and 300 barrels of biodisel of 8,500 bushels per day of soybeans. From this feedstock, the refinery would produce 5,750 BPSD of diesel fuel, 6,770 BPSD of gasoline, and 300 BPSD of propane. With the planned maintenance program, the refinery would have an economic life of well in excess of 20 years. At the end of the refinery's economic life, MHA Nation would decommission and reclaim the facility. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the facility would result in numerous socioeconomic benefits for the county, the Tribe, and its members. Construction of thee refinery would employ hundreds of local workers, most of whom would be residents of the reservation. Operation of the refinery and cultivation and harvesting of the forage enterprise would provide steady employment for fewer workers in the long-term. In addition to this direct job creation, the preferred alternative would spur induced job growth in the county. The additional revenues directly received by the tribe by way of fees and taxes would help the tribe develop the political cohesion and strength necessary to obtain self-sufficiency, self-determination, and strong tribal government. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Vegetative cover and soils, including cropland, and the associated wildlife habitat now occupying the proposed refinery site would be removed for the duration of the life of the refinery and until reclamation activities could be completed. Wetlands would also be displaced and would be more difficult to reinstate following closure of the plant. Leakage from the refinery and changes in area hydrology would result in local degradation of the regional aquifer. The presence of an industrial plant in the area would mar the visual and olfactory aesthetics of the rural setting.

Preparation date: June 22, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTHTOWNS CONNECTOR/BUFFALO OUTER HARBOR PROJECT, ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK. AN - 36348207; 12125 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the South towns Connector/Buffalo Outer Harbor Project in Buffalo area of Erie County, New York is proposed the project would include improvement of a section of New York State Route (NYS) 5 from the Buffalo Skyway Bridge to NYS 179, construction of a new arterial road from Interstate 90 (I-90) to Tift Street, reconstruction of Ohio Street from Michigan Avenue to NYS 5, and implementation of various multi-modal access improvements along the affected roads. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The Improvement Alternative would involve simplification of the existing roadway system. The Boulevard Alternative would involve converting NYS 5 from an expressway to a six-lane boulevard. The Hybrid Alternative would implement a combination of the other two new build alternatives. All build alternatives would incorporate improvements along Ohio Street from Michigan Avenue to NYS 5 and construction of a new four-lane, or two-lane expandable to four-lane, arterial road connecting I-190 to Tifft Street, with signalized intersections at Seneca Street, Elk Street, and South Park Avenue. All action alternatives would implement an interpretative program along Ohio Street for the Industrial Heritage Trail. Estimated construction costs for the modified Improvement, Boulevard, and Hybrid alternatives are $95.1 million, $124.0 million, and $131.9 million, respectively. including respective rights-of-way acquisition costs of $9.4 million, $8.4 million, and $7.6 million. A modified version of the Improvement Alternative has been selected as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve existing access and or provide new road access to specific redevelopment sites within the corridor, such as the NFTA Outer Harbor Lands, Union Ship Canal Redevelopment Area, the former LTV/Republic Steel site, and the former Bethlehem Steel site. The NYS 5/Fuhrmann Boulevard/Ohio Street complex along the Buffalo Outer Harbor would be reconfigured into a system more compatible with the proposed land uses included in local plans. Overall, the system would provide and preserve adequate service for commuter/commercial traffic between the South towns and downtown Buffalo and improve local access to and along the waterfront for other modes, including transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would displace 80 parcels encompassing through acquisition and easement a total of 10.1 acres of land, three residential and three commercial structures, one mixed residential/commercial building, and one business. The project would displace one building (630 Ohio Street) that is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Non-conforming geometrics could occur along two or three segments. The expressway would continue to include deficient segments between Ohio Street to Tifft Street, I-90 to Ridge Road and, possibly, I-90 to Ogden Street and I-90 to Hamburg Street, as well as at two to six intersections. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 134 to 149 sensitive receptor sites during the morning and 133 to 171 receptor sites during the evening. Hazardous waste and/or contaminated materials would be encountered by construction workers at the LTV/Republic Steel site, near the Mobil Exxon facility, and within portions of the Buffalo Outer Harbor and the Bethlehem Street sites. Asbestos would be encountered at 17 bridges and four buildings.

AN - 16367616; 12101 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a 12.1-mile section of State Highway 99 (SH 99), part of the Grand Parkway, on a new location from SH 249 to Interstate 45 (I-45), Harris and Chambers counties, Texas is proposed. The study area encompasses the northwest quadrant of a planned 170-mile third loop of SH 99 around Houston, to be known as the Grand Parkway. More specifically, the study area is bounded by SH 249 to the west I-45 to the east, Farm-to-Market 1960 to the south, and the area just behind the proposed Grand Parkway to the north. The conceptual design for the facility would provide for a four-lane, at-grade, controlled access freeway within a 400-foot rights-of-way. The recommended alternative is comprised of a combination of alignments investigated during the study, and was proposed after the evaluation of alternative corridors, alternative transportation modes, and alternative alignments within corridors; the recommended alignment extends 12.1 miles. Five alignment alternatives, extending from 12 to 16.5 miles, are considered in detail in this revision of the draft EIS of February 2004. Estimated cost of the recommended alternative, a combination of previously considered alternatives, is estimated at $248.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new facility would improve access to the existing thoroughfare system, reduce area traffic congestion, improve safety, and improve area-wide mobility. The freeway would reduce the through radial traffic on the current freeway system and would provide a needed transportation service in the study area to help reduce regional and local traffic congestion. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 57 existing and 66 platted residences, four businesses, one school property, one church, land from one park, 2.3 acres of remnant prairie, 46.3 acres of aquatic habitat, 16.8 acres of 100-year floodplain, 0.5 acre of floodway, 289.6 acres of prime farmland, 121.2 acres of farmland of state-wide importance, 544 acres of land with a high likelihood of containing high value archaeological sites, nine oil and gas well sites, and four public and three private water wells. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 213 sensitive receptor sites. Two hazardous materials sites would be encountered by construction workers.

Preparation date: June 9, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 8, WIS 35(N) TO US 53, POLK AND BARRON COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36345932; 12113 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a four-lane highway along approximately 40 miles of US 8 extending from Wisconsin 35 (N) (WIS 35 (N)) to US 53 in Polk and Barron counties, Wisconsin is proposed. Within the study corridor limits, the highway passes through the communities of Range and Poskin, the villages of Turtle Lake and Almena, and the city of Barron. The corridor also passes through the towns of St. Croix Falls, Balsam Lake, Apple River, Beaver, Almena, Clinton, Barron, and Stanley. US 8, primarily a two-lane highway, with four-lane sections in the village of Turtle and the city of Barron, is a rural principal east-west arterial route across central Wisconsin and constitutes a component of the National Highway System. Four-lane highways lie at either end of the study corridor. It is classified as a connector route in the Corridors 2020 state highway plan. The corridor under consideration is currently characterized by inadequate capacity along much of the highway, excessive accident rates in urban areas, and substandard roadway design. Alternatives under consideration in this draft EIS include a No Action Alternative, implementation of a transportation system management plan, addition of passing lanes to the existing highway, and provision of a four-lane facility within the corridor. The corridor was divided into seven segments to study the four-lane alternatives, each segment having one or more alternatives that could be built on the existing alignment or on a new alignment. In addition, the four-lane alternatives provide bypass alternatives for Turtle Lake and Barron. A preliminarily preferred four-lane alternative is identified. Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $115.2 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Provision of a multi-lane highway in the study corridor would improve safety and increase capacity on a route of national, state, and local importance, easing freight and traveler transport in the region. Recent and anticipated growth along the corridor and beyond would be supported. Substandard roadway design would be ameliorated, reducing accident rates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of several hundred acres of land, a number of residences and businesses, two archaeological resource sites and one historic building, a significant extent of wetlands and agricultural lands and forest, and public lands associated with Cattail Trail. A number of water bodies would be traversed. Construction workers would encounter several hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: June 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRUNK HIGHWAY (TH) 36/STH 64 NEW ST. CROIX RIVER CROSSING, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, AND ST. CROIX COUNTY, WISCONSIN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF APRIL 1995). AN - 36340782; 12114 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of 6.7 miles of Trunk Highway (TH) 36 in Washington County, Minnesota and St, Croix County, Wisconsin, is proposed. The project would include the functional replacement of the existing drawbridge over the St. Croix River and the reconstruction of approach highways leading to the bridge. The study area termini are the vicinity of County Road 15 in Minnesota and a point on STH 64 approximately 2.5 miles east of the state line in Wisconsin. The possibility of improving existing TH 36 from Houlton to New Richmond, 15 miles to the east, is currently under study. This represents a separate study based on transportation needs independent of the river crossing analysis. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of April 1995. In 1996, the U.S. National Park Service evaluated the project under Section 7(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and found that the project, as proposed, would have a direct adverse effect on the outstandingly remarkable scenic and recreational values for which the Lower St. Croix River was included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers. As a result, the necessary permits were withdrawn, and the project was not allowed to proceed. This final supplement to the final EIS considers a new proposal and four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative. The preferred alternative would provide a roadway from the Minnesota 5/Minnesota 36 interchange in Minnesota, cross the St. Croix River, and terminate at the 150th Avenue overpass in Wisconsin. The segment of Minnesota 36 to be reconstructed would extend from 1,050 feet east of the Washington/Norell intersection with Minnesota 36 to the St. Croix River. The new four-lane bridge would cross the river at the present location of the Minnesota 36/Minnesota 95 interchange and extend across the river to a point approximately 6,450 feet south of the Lift Bridge in Wisconsin. Wisconsin 35 would e relocated to the east of its present alignment to provide for an interchange with relocated St. Croix County Highway E. Wisconsin 64 would be constructed from the St. Croix River through this new interchange to the 150th Avenue overpass in the town of St. Joseph. An extradosed bridge design, consisting of towers with cables connecting the towers to the bridge deck, would be implemented. The Lift Bridge would be converted to a pedestrian/bicycle crossing, constituting a component in a loop trail connecting Minnesota and Wisconsin via the Lift Bridge and the new river crossing. The estimated cost of preferred alternative ranges from $299 million to #373 million, depending on bid probability calculations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to major transportation service, safety, and congestion improvements that would occur with the construction of any of the build alternatives, there would be several social, economic, and environmental benefits. A hindrance to resolution of a significant problem in planning the nature of the future transportation network serving 11 study area communities would be removed. Reduction in air pollutant emissions, energy use, and traffic-generated noise, as well as improved water quality would also result. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would affect three parks, the Lowe St. Croix National River way System, and the Stillwater Municipal Barge Facility Property, as well as resulting in the displacement of commercial properties, single-family residences, multi-family residences, farmland, wetlands, and several acres of trees and undergrowth along the river shorelines and the associated wildlife habitat. Floodplain encroachment would result from bridge construction. Storm water runoff from the roadway could significantly degrade water quality in the river. The project could impact freshwater mussels, dotted blazing star, osprey, and bald eagle, all of which are federally protected species. Numerous sensitive receptor sites and a portion of the river would be subject to traffic-generated noise levels in excess of federal and/or state standards. There would be a potential for cumulative impacts to archaeological and historic resources due to changes in surrounding land use, accessibility, settings, and views. Construction workers would encounter numerous potentially contaminated sites.

Preparation date: June 8, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE 73 SOUTH, DILLON, HORRY, AND MARION COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA. AN - 36340358; 12116 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a segment of Interstate 73 (I-73) if new alignment in Dillon, Horry, and Marion counties of northeastern South Carolina is proposed. The study corridor extends from southeast from I-95 and is bounded to the northeast by the North Carolina. South Carolina state line, to the southeast federal highway US 17, and to the southwest by the eastern edge of the Great Pee Dee River floodplain, US 38, and US 501. The facility would terminate at SC Route 22 in Horry County; SC 22 would be converted to become a segment of I-73. The typical section would accommodate a six-lane facility with corridors for future rail lines and allowances for frontage roads where appropriate. More specifically, the facility would provide for two lanes of traffic in each direction. In the future, when traffic volumes increased to a point that additional lanes would be necessary in order to maintain an acceptable level of service, an additional lane in each direction could be added within the median. An estimated 400-foot-wide rights-of-way would be acquired where frontage roads were planned. Where frontage roads were not required, a 300-foot rights-of-way would be adequate. The build alternatives under consideration in this draft EIS would extend from 42.6 miles to 48.3 miles. Interchanges would provide access to and from I-95, US 501, SC 41A, US 76, and SC 22. Certain alternatives would also provide interchanges at SC 41, S-23, or S-308. In addition to the eight build alternatives under consideration, this draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new section of interstate would provide a freeway link between I-95 and the Myrtle Beach region to serve residents, businesses, and tourists while fulfilling congressional intent in an environmentally responsible and community sensitive manner. In addition to providing system linkage, the freeway would promote economic development, relieve local traffic congestion, enhance multimodal planning, and improve hurricane evacuation from the South Carolina coast. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 45 to 109 residences, six to 18 commercial structures, 1,708 to 2,155 acres of farmland, 413 to 492 acres of wetlands, 1,884 to 2,194 acres of upland habitat, 94 to 321 acres of floodplain, 991 to 1,144 acres of high-density archaeological resource area, and, possibly, one park. The project could directly disturb one historic site and would visually affect one to two such sites. From 41 to 66 stream crossings would be necessary, affecting five to 10 streams exhibiting outstanding water quality and two to seven streams with impaired water quality. One wildlife species of concern could be affected under any of three alternatives. Numerous structures would be affected by noise levels in excess of federal standards.

To date, applications of radioactive fallout to trace upland sediment transport have been developed primarily on lands disturbed by agriculture, grazing, and logging. Here we use (super 137) Cs to characterize and quantify soil erosion at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, an undisturbed grassland in northeastern Kansas. We report on the small scale (<10 m) and landscape scale (10 to 1000 m) distribution of fallout (super 137) Cs, and show significant variability in the concentrations and amounts of (super 137) Cs in soils at our site. (super 137) Cs soil concentrations and amounts typically vary by 10% to 30% on small scales, which most likely represents the spatial heterogeneity of the depositional processes. Landscape scale variability of soil (super 137) Cs was significantly higher than small scale variability. Most notably, soils collected on convex (divergent) landforms had (super 137) Cs inventories of 2500 to 3000 Bq m (super -2) , which is consistent with the expected atmospheric inputs to the study area during the 1950s and 1960s. Concave landforms, however, had statistically lower inventories of 1800 to 2300 Bq m (super -2) . The distribution of (super 137) Cs on this undisturbed landscape contrasts significantly with distributions observed across disturbed sites, which generally have accumulations of radioactive fallout in valley bottoms. Because the upslope contributing area at each sampling point had a significant negative correlation with the soil inventory of (super 137) Cs, we suggest that overland flow in convergent areas dominates soil erosion at Konza on time scales of decades. Very few points on our landscape had (super 137) Cs inventories significantly above that which would be predicted from direct deposition of (super 137) Cs on the soil surface; we conclude therefore that there is little net sediment storage on this undisturbed landscape.

The translocation was to protect mussels from planned maintenance dredging and was required by the Biological Opinion prepared by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The project did not proceed as planned, and we removed only about 80% of the P. capax. In this article we examine mistakes made, lessons learned, and discuss procedures that might have led to a more favorable outcome. We identified three key decisions that should have been thoroughly discussed prior to initiating the work: percentage of mussels to be removed, choice of recipient sites, and number of mussels to be marked and measured. Two other issues were important: the status of P. capax in Arkansas and the likelihood of future dredging needs at recipient sites. Initially, we felt that decision-analysis tools, used during planning, would have facilitated a better understanding of complex issues. Although such tools would have encouraged better discussion, it is now apparent that communication was hampered largely by the different perspectives of participants.

The existing methods including traditional simple random sampling and kriging or cokriging variance based sampling designs can not lead to optimal sampling designs. in this study, a local variability based sampling design using a sequential Gaussian co-simulation by combining remotely sensed and ground data is developed. This method theoretically can lead to a sampling design with variable sampling distances, that is, grid spacings that are optimal at local and global levels. The method was assessed and compared with simple random sampling in a case study in which the soil erosion ground and vegetation cover factor was sampled and mapped using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images and annual permanent ground measurements sampled from 1989 to 1995. The results show that the local variability based sampling greatly reduced the number of sampled plots and increased the cost-efficiency for sampling in comparison to simple random sampling. The difference in cost-efficiency between the two methods increased with increased global variation. This method can also be applied to analyse the sufficiency of a permanent plot sample and further provide information for additional sampling.

The model was calibrated for hydrothermal distribution over a one-year time period for 1995 and verified for a two-year time period between 1996 and 1997. Simulation reproduced intra-annual variation of mixing represented by fall/winter mixing and spring/summer stratification. The simulated variation of vertical thermal structures also matched observation. Vertical flux was investigated in terms of stratification through turbulent mixing and internal waves. Basin scale internal waves showed a characteristic diurnal variation and modulation by surface wind. The model resolved the seasonal variation of thermal structures, assuring a good linkage to a nutrient-eutrophication model.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Three-dimensional Management Model for Lake Washington, Part II: Eutrophication Modeling and Skill Assessment AN - 19842215; 7018851 AB - The CE-QUAL-ICM 3-dimensional eutrophication model was applied to Lake Washington for the period 1995-1997. Transport processes were obtained from the companion CH3D-WES hydrodynamic model. The model activated 18 state variables in the water column, including physical variables; phytoplankton; multiple forms of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; dissolved oxygen; and fecal coliform. The water column was coupled to a sediment diagenesis model that computed sediment-water fluxes of dissolved oxygen, methane, ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate, based on computed inputs of particulate organic matter. The model successfully computed the annual cycles and spatial distributions of key water quality components. Nutrient loads were calculated and nutrient budgets were constructed as part of the model exercise. Load sources included river inflows, distributed loads, sewer overflows and atmospheric loading. The Sammamish River was identified as the largest source of nutrients to Lake Washington, followed by the Cedar River and other distributed sources. The majority of the nutrient load is deposited in the sediments. A lesser amount leaves via Lake Union. Our nutrient loads were 30% (nitrogen) to 60% (phosphorus) higher than the loads from the late 1970s.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Climate Change and Floodplain Management in the United States AN - 19521008; 7241212 AB - Federal agencies use flood frequency estimates to delineate flood risk, manage the National Flood Insurance Program, and ensure that Federal programs are economically efficient. The assumption behind traditional flood risk analysis is that climate is stationary, but anthropogenic climate change and better knowledge of interdecadal climate variability challenge the validity of the assumption. This paper reviews several alternative statistical models for flood risk estimation that do not assume climate stationarity. Some models require subjective judgement or presuppose an understanding of the causes of the underlying non-stationarity, which is problematic given our current knowledge of the interaction of climate and floods. Although currently out of favor, hydrometeorological models have been used for engineering design as alternatives to statistical models and could be adapted to different climate conditions. Floodplain managers should recognize the potentially greater uncertainty in flood risk estimation due to climate change and variability and try to incorporate the uncertainties into floodplain management decision-making and regulation.

AN - 16366497; 12099 AB - PURPOSE: Five multipurpose impoundment projects along the White River are considered for the implementation of a minimum flow regime for the watershed, which lies in Missouri and Arkansas. The White River and its tributaries drain 10,620 square miles in Missouri and 17,145 square miles in Arkansas. The impoundments under consideration are Beaver, Table Rock, and Bull Shoals Lakes on the White River; Norfolk Lake on the North Fork River; and Greer Ferry Lake on the Little Red River. Each of the five multipurpose projects provides flood control, hydropower, water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife uses. The river basin originates in the Boston Mountains of northwestern Arkansas. Three forks come together in Washington County to form the Main stem. The White River is first impounded as Lake Sequoyah, a 500-acre reservoir at the junction of the Middle Fork and the main stem. The river flows south out of Lake Sequoyah and joins the West Fork before entering Beaver Lake just west of Eureka Springs. The main stem flows out of Beaver Dam, the first in a series of four hydroelectric dams, northward into Missouri near the town of Eagle Rock. The White then flows eastward into an impoundment called Table Rock Lake, just below its confluence with the James River near Branson. Below Table Rock Lake, the White is again impounded by Powersite Dam near Forsyth to form Lake Taneycomo. The river meanders southward and flows back into Arkansas where it is impounded by Bull Shoals Dam. The river then continues to the Mississippi River near Montgomery Point. Currently, each reservoir is divided into two zones, flood pool and conservation pool. In addition to the No Action Alternative, three storage reallocation alternatives are considered in this draft EIS, specifically, reallocation from the conservation pool, reallocation from the flood control pool, and a 50/50 reallocation from each pool at each reservoir. Methods of release considered at each project include existing station service units and siphon release, new station service units release, main turbine release, and siphon only release. The preferred alternatives are reallocation from the flood pool released through an existing hydropower main turbine and 50/50 reallocation with release through existing station service units and siphons. Empire Electric, a regional power company, would be compensated with a one-time buyout for losses due to the Bull Shoals storage reallocation. The Southwestern Power Administration would calculate losses to the federal hydropower interests annually. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed releases would comply with Congressional directives regarding minimum flows along the White River while providing compensation to the hydropower users and affected facility operators. Wetlands and other wildlife and fish habitat dependent on minimum river flows would rejuvenate and maintain their improved status. Critical habitat for sensitive species would benefit from these improvements. Adversely affected recreation facilities at Bull Shoals Lake would be made whole. Reservoir areas would increase from one to 53.7 percent. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Loss of flood control storage capacity could result in slight increases in flooding in some areas under low probability storm events. Impoundment increases would displace shoreline vegetation, wetlands, and recreational facilities. Hydropower generation capacity losses would be minor.

AN - 16357247; 12100 AB - PURPOSE: The dredging and disposal of material from the federal navigation channel in Boston Harbor in Massachusetts are proposed in this draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1995. The June 1995 proposal addressed the deepening of three tributary channels (Reserved Channel, Mystic River Channel, and Chelsea River Channel) and two areas in the Main Ship Channel in order to provide sufficient ship maneuvering areas for the deep-drafted vessels that currently transit the area. This final supplemental EIS proposes the dredging of approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of silty maintenance material from the Main Ship Channel located approximately halfway between Spectacle Island and Castle Island upstream to the Inner Confluence, the upper Reserved Channel, and the approach to the Navy Dry Dock to their authorized depths. Approximately 1.3 million cubic yards of the material to be dredged would be unsuitable for unconfined open water disposal, hence, would be disposed in confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells located in or near the previously identified sites. The CAD cells would lie within the Mystic River navigation channel and the Main Ship navigation channel. The silty maintenance material suitable for ocean disposal and the 1.5 million cubic yards of parent material removed to construct the CAD cells would be dumped at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. In addition to the dredged material, approximately 12,000 cubic yards of rock would be removed. In addition to the proposed action and a NO Action Alternative, dredging and disposal alternatives are considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Harbor improvements would make vessel passage less dependent on tidal navigation or lightening. They would also enable Boston to accommodate the larger vessels now found in the world fleet. The improvements would help the port maintain its competitive position in the national and world marketplace. The project would also improve water quality by removing and isolating silts in the channels and berths containing contaminants that are continually resuspended during storm and vessel activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms and demersal fish would be killed during dredging and blasting as well as during disposal in the CAD cells and the bay dumping site. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal site. Dredging would release toxic contaminants into the water column temporarily.

Preparation date: May 26, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NEPTUNE, L.L.C. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS DEEPWATER PORT LICENSE APPLICATION, MASSACHUSETTS BAY, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36345075; 12093 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater port in Massachusetts Bay, seven miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, are proposed by Neptune, L.L.C. to provide for a terminal facility for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At present, LNG meets 20 to 30 percent of natural gas demand in New England. Forecasts indicate that gas consumption in New England will continue to increase at an average annual growth rate of 1.4 percent for the next 22 years. As domestic supplies are static, the major increase in natural gas supply will have to come from LNG. The proposed port would capable of mooring up to two 37-million-gallon capacity LNG carriers by means of a submerged unloading buoy system. The port would have an average throughput capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) and a peak capacity of 750 MMscfd. The major fixed components of the port would be an unloading buoy system, eight mooring lines consisting of wire rope and chain connecting to anchor points on the seabed, eight suction pile anchor points, approximately 2.5 miles of natural gas flow line with flexible pipe risers and riser manifolds, and approximately 11 miles of 24-inch natural gas transmission line with a hot tap and transition manifold to connect to the existing Algonquin HubLine. The LNG carriers, also known as shuttle and regasification vessels, would be equipped to store, transport, and vaporize LNG and to odorize and meter natural gas to be sent out by a conventional sub-sea pipeline connecting the deepwater port to the existing 30-inch HubLine. No onshore components or storage facilities would be associated with the port. Each LNG carrier would be equipped with an in-tank pump to circulate and transfer LNG to the vaporization facilities located on the deck of the carrier. The proposed vaporization system would consist of closed-loop, shell-and-tube, recirculating heat exchangers heated by steam from boil off gas/vaporized LNG-fired boilers. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and port design, regasification technology, and port site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port and terminal facilities would provide for the increasing demand for natural gas in New England and could replace more expensive, less environmentally friendly oil-fired generators and heating units in some cases. The facilities would promote the development of oil and natural gas production on the outer continental shelf by affording an economic and safe means of transporting oil and natural gas to the mainland. Construction and operations employment would provide a substantial number of jobs for local and regional workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Operation of the LNG facility would entail risks associated with vapor clouds and fire due to a major accidental release of gas. The LNG port would constitute a navigational impediment and vessel traffic in the area would increase somewhat. Port structures and lighting would mar the visual aesthetics for recreationists and others boating in the area. Construction, vessel operation, and GBS placement would result in short-term, minor effects of the flow of marine waters and suspension of sea flood sediments. Flow disturbances, scour, and associated turbidity resulting from the presence of the GBSs and other structures would be long-term but localized and minor. Construction activities would also affect marine mammals, sea turtles, hard bottoms, submerged aquatic vegetation, algae colonies, birds, and sensitive species.

AN - 36342323; 12094 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of the existing line of protection against the flooding of Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas are proposed. The seven levee units addressed for this study include the North Kansas City, Northeast Industrial District (East Bottoms), and Birmingham units in Missouri; the Argentine, Armourdale, and Fairfax-Jersey Creek units in Kansas; and the central Industrial District Unit, which protects land in both Kansas and Missouri. The existing system, including seepage control structures, protects approximately $16 billion of investment within the protected areas encompassing 5,000 individual structures, 90,000 jobs, the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, several vital utility facilities, and extensive rail and road systems of regional and national importance. The system withstood a significant flood in 1993; however, some elements of the system were seriously challenged as the flood crest nearly overtopped the levee system at some locations. The preferred alternatives for the Kansas River levee units would include raising the levees to the nominal 500-year flood event, plus three feet, along with improvements of pump stations and under seepage control to prevent overtopping and provide levee stability. The preferred alternatives for the Armourdale and Central Industrial District are tentative as will not be fully evaluated until the final feasibility study. The preferred alternatives for the Missouri River levee units would primarily address individual components of the existing system that have been identified through analyses to require overtopping and/or under seepage reliability improvements to maintain the integrity of the existing line of protection. The preferred alternative for the Missouri Irver levee units would include installation of relief wells and a pump station, installation of a buried collector system, strengthing of an existing floodwall, and sheet pile wall replacement to improve the reliability of the existing line of protection. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improved levee system would ensure that the two cities continue to enjoy adequate protection against the 500-year flood event. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Adverse aesthetic and natural environmental impacts would be limited in extent and insignificant in degree since the project would primarily be located within the existing footprint of a previously disturbed area in a highly industrialized and urbanized area.

Preparation date: May 25, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CARTHAGE TO PERRYVILLE PROJECT IN EASTERN TEXAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA (DOCKET NO. CP06-85-000). AN - 36340459; 12095 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public and Necessity to CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company is proposed for the construction and operation of an interstate natural gas pipeline and ancillary facilities. The project would be designed to receive and transport 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. The pipeline facilities would include 171.9 miles of 42-inch natural gas pipeline in Panola County, Texas and Caddo, DeSoto, Red River, Bienville, Jackson, Ouachita, and Richland parishes, Louisiana; two compressor stations, the Panola and Vernon stations, in Panola County, Texas and Jackson Parish, Louisiana, respectively; two meter/regulator (M/R) stations (Houston Pipe Line and Duke Energy Field Services-Enbridge M/R stations in Panola County; four new meter and regulator stations at interconnects with existing interstate pipelines (Texas Gas M/R Station in Ouchita Parish, and ANR, Trunkline, and Columbia Gulf M/R stations in Richland Parish); 11 mainline valves; and four pig launcher/receiver facilities associated with the Panola and Vernon compressor stations and the Houston Pipe Line and Columbia Gulf meter/regulator stations. The applicant would have the pipeline system in-service by February 2007. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS evaluates postponement of the proposed action, other existing or proposed systems, pipeline routing alternatives, and alternative sites for aboveground facilities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The pipeline would facilitate the transport of natural gas received from production areas in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana to markets in the Midwest and Northeastern regions of the United States accessible through interconnections with existing pipeline infrastructure. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land requirements during construction would amount to 2,482.9 acres, including 1,963.7 acres for pipeline rights-of-way, 34.6 acres for aboveground facilities, and 484.6 acres of extra work areas. Following construction, all affected areas outside the permanent pipeline rights-of-way and aboveground facility sites would be restored to pre-construction conditions and uses. During operation, the system would encumber 1,250 acres. Approximately 50 percent of the soils traversed by the pipeline constitute prime farmland. The project would traverse 102 perennial streams, 131 intermittent streams, and seven ponds. Construction activities would affect 150 wetland areas, disturbing 37.5 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands and 80.7 acres of forested wetlands. The project would also affect upland forest, pine plantation, and pen land. The six federally protected species that could occur in the area would remain unaffected by the project, but the extent of the impacts on 25 state-listed species that might occur in the area is not yet known. None of the archaeological sites or cemeteries eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places along the pipeline route would be affected.

AN - 36340683; 12090 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement and possible relocation of the Interstate 90 (I-90) Williamsville toll barrier in Erie County, New York are proposed. The study corridor extends 18 miles along I-90 from the existing toll barrier location in the town of Amherst, just east of Interchange 50), in Erie County to Interchange 48A in the town of Pembroke, Genessee County. Townships traversed include Amherst, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Lancaster, and Newstead in Erie County and Pembroke in Genessee County. The existing toll barrier suffers from capacity deficiencies and operational inadequacies. Capacity deficiencies have resulted congestion and delays, which contribute to increased vehicle emissions and energy usage at that location. In addition to the alternative that would improve the existing facility at the existing location, this draft EIS considers construction of a new mainline toll barrier at one of three sites between Williamsville Toll Barrier and Interchange 48A and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new toll barrier would reduce travel time and delays through the project's study corridor by providing adequate toll processing capacity, improve toll barrier safety for patrons and employees operating the barrier facilities, provide ancillary facilities that would allow for operation of the barrier at full capacity for the foreseeable future, and encourage the use of E-ZPass electronic toll collection to improve traffic flow, promote energy conservation, reduce vehicle emissions, and reduce noise. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The relocation alternative would displace 5.2 to 22.1 acres of new rights-of-way, including 0.7 to one acre of farmland and 7.3 to 13.9 acres of wetlands. One or two structures eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places could be impacted under the relocation alternative.

PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS (REVISED FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JUNE 1999). AN - 36343103; 12089 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood control measures at on the Upper des Plaines River at Site 37, Mt. Prospect, Cook County, Illinois is proposed. The river is subject to severe overbank flooding due to inadequate channel capacity. Damaging floods in this urbanized watershed took place in 1938, 1948, 1950, 1954, 1957, 1960, 1962, 1965, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1986, and 1987. The 1986 and 1987 floods caused damages in excess of $100 million. Communities along the river that were affected include Wadsworth, Gurnee, Lincolnshire, Wheeling, Prospect Heights, Des Plaines, Rosemont, Franklin Park, Schiler Park, River Grove, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, River Forest, Maywood, North Riverside, and Riverside. Alternatives considered in this revised final supplement to the June 1999 final EIS on the broader Upper Des Plaines River flood control project include a No Action Alternative, elevation of Des Plaines River Road and Milwaukee Avenue, levee construction, and floodwall construction. The selected plan would involve construction of approximately 6,637 linear feet of concrete floodwall in the northern section of the project study area, 1,900 linear feet of concrete floodwall on the north edge of Palatine Road west of Des Plaines River Road, and 1,536 linear feet of low earthen berm in the southern part of the area immediately east of Des Plaines River Road. The floodwall would be up to five feet high, while the berm would be about one foot high and nine feet wide at its base. Vegetation losses due to project construction activities would be mitigated by enhancement of 20 acres of mosaic communities located within a meander in the river. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Flood damage in the affected area would decline significantly, enhancing area economy and protecting human health and safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Floodwall and berm construction would require ground disturbance and placement of fill on the west bank of the river and, possibly, in the channel. Vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat would be removed from the 12.5-acre construction zones, one of which would include a permanent easement on 2.47 acres. Less than one acre of floodplain wetland would be affected.

Preparation date: May 18, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CASOTTE LANDING LNG PROJECT, PASCAGOULA, JACKSON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI (DOCKET NOS. PF05-9-000 AND CP05-420-000). AN - 16370037; 12077 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and ancillary facilities near Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi is proposed. To maintain pace with growing energy demands, industry authorities estimate that consumption of natural gas in the Untied States will grow from 22.4 trillion cubic feet per year in 2004 to 27.0 trillion cubic feet per year in 2025. Domestic supplies of natural gas will not keep up with demand. As a result, US distributors of natural gas are constantly seeking additional, more efficient facilities to import LNG from foreign sources. The project proposed by the applicant, Bayou Casotte Energy LLC, would include a ship unloading facility with a single berth capable of receiving LNG ships with cargo capacities of up to 20,000 cubic meters; three 160,000-cubic-meter full containment LNG storage tanks; a closed-flood intermediate fluid vaporizer system utilizing cooling water from the adjacent Chevron Pascagoula Refinery as a heat source, sized for a normal send out of 1.3 billion cubic feet per day; various ancillary buildings and facilities at the terminal site; five pipeline interconnects originating from a 1.5-mile, 36-inch-diameter spur pipeline; and associated pipeline support facilities, including two meter stations at interconnects with the existing pipeline systems. Construction of the terminal slip would require excavation of 4.5 million cubic yards of material, of 1.0 million cubic feet would be used for fill, leveling, construction of the hurricane levee at the terminal site. The remaining material and 250,ooo cubic yards to be dredged annual for maintenance purposes would be dumped in the Pascagoula Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site, which is located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico south of Horn Island. In addition to these facilities, which fall under the regulatory jurisdiction of the federal government, non-jurisdictional facilities associated with the project would include a natural gas liquid extraction system and pipeline, electric transmission lines, an electric substation, and a waste heat, water circulation system. The relocation of two crude oil tankers would be required to maintain shipping capacity with respect to the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery and to take advantage of the dual-slip design of the proposed marine terminal slip. The terminal and pipeline facilities would transport a nominal rate of 1.3 billion cubic feet per day of imported LNG to U.S. markets via interconnects with five existing intrastate and interstate pipelines in the vicinity of the proposed terminal site. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, an alternative that would postpone the proposed action, other existing and approved LNG terminal sites, and two alternative pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The terminal would increase the nation's capacity for the import of LNG and the conversion of LNG into gas for transport to the regional market, thereby helping to ensure the continued growth in the supply of this essential source of energy for domestic and industrial uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land requirements for the terminal site would occupy 264 acres during construction and operation. Construction of the pipeline interconnects and meter stations would affect 17.4 acres, 7.9 acres of which would be displaced permanently during operation of the pipeline facilities. Approximately 117 acres of low-quality upland vegetation and 151.1 acres of low- to medium-quality wetlands would be affected. Approximately 123.5 acres of wetlands would be permanently displaced. Non-jurisdictional facilities would displace 36.2 acres during construction and 1.8 acres during operation. Approximately 12.3 acres of wetlands would be affected and 0.9 acre permanently displaced. Dredging and disposal of dredged material would destroy benthos and benthic habitat at the terminal site and at the ocean dumping site. The jurisdictional pipeline would traverse two canals, while the non-jurisdictional pipeline would cross five perennial ditches and one perennial drainage canal. Essential fish habitat for 18 species could occur in the area of the terminal, though no significant impacts to these habitats are expected.

Preparation date: May 18, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - OHIO RIVER MAIN STEM SYSTEMS STUDY, SYSTEM INVESTMENT PLAN, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KENTUCKY, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA. AN - 36345372; 12088 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a system investment plan (SIP) for the 981-mile Ohio River in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania is proposed to maintain safe, environmentally sustainable, and reliable navigation along the corridor from 2010 to 2070. The Ohio River main stem is the principal artery of the Ohio River System (ORS), which also includes its navigable tributaries, specifically the Allegheny, Monongahela, Kanawha, Big Sandy, Kentucky, Green, Tennessee, and Cumberland rivers. Users of the ORS ship 270 million tons of commodities worth over $30 billion annually, resulting in a transportation savings of $2.0 billion. The SIP addresses the operation and maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction reinvestment needs at the 19 navigation lock and dam sites on the main stem. The SIP was developed to evaluate system-wide priorities and impacts; it does not recommend specific projects for authorization by Congress. A major focus of the document is the comprehensive Cumulative Effects Assessment that evaluates impacts from past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions falling into 10 categories of valued environmental components. For many of the recommended actions, future site-specific studies would be required prior to project approval or recommendation for authorization. Navigation investment alternatives were formulated based on five possible scenarios associated with utility coal, air quality compliance policy, and economic growth. Ecosystem sustainability alternatives were formulated from measures identified during facilitated group discussions that focused on the highest priority needs to enhance aquatic and riparian ecosystem sustainability. Navigation-related recommendations in the SIP would provide for a mix of investments ranging from reactive maintenance (replacement of lock components as failure occurred) through advance maintenance (replacement of lock components before failure) and major rehabilitation (bundling of multiple replacements into a rehabilitation component) to lock modernization (new lock chambers at Emsworth, Dashields, and Montgomery locks and dams on the upper Ohio River. Ecosystem-related recommendations would provide for the initiation of the previously authorized Ohio River Ecosystem Restoration Program and planning and implementation of additional measures to improve ecosystem sustainability in collaboration with other interests. The annual costs for the five scenarios under consideration range from $99 million to $100.1 million, while annual system benefits for the five scenarios range from $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. The preferred plan would include all features of the best navigation plan as well as those of the environmental sustainability investment plan. In addition to the action alternatives, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The SIP would provide a balance between economic development and ecological preservation and enhancement along the river corridor. BY maintaining a long-term comprehensive program for maintaining a viable navigation system on the main stem, the project would allow continued development of industries dependent on the ORS for transportation and continue to support substantial direct and indirect employment along the associated rivers. Locking delays expected due to increased traffic and inadequate and deteriorating infrastructure would be reduced or eliminated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: All plans would affect mussel habitat and riparian and floodplain resources, including wetlands and bottomland forest areas. Wildlife and fish habitat would be lost and habitat units available would decline somewhat. The operation of locks and dams would continue to alter river hydrology significantly in both upstream and downstream reaches of the river.

Preparation date: May 15, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - U.S. HIGHWAY 160 FROM DURANGO TO BAYFIELD, LA PLATA COUNTY, COLORADO. AN - 36339754; 12069 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of 16.2 miles of highway within the US 160 corridor in La Plata County, Colorado is proposed. The new roadway would extend from milepost (MP) 88, east of Durango, to MP 104.2, east of Bayfield. Approximately 1.2 miles of the project would run along the US 550 corridor, extending from MP 16.6, located at the US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, to MP 15.4, located south of the US 440/County Road (CR) 220 intersection. The project would extend the existing four-lane highway from Grandview east to Bayfield where it would transition to a two-lane highway. Beyond MP 104.2, the roadway already provides sufficient capacity and safety features to obviate the need for improvements through 2025. In Gem Villate, US 160 would be realigned to the south. From the western project limit to the proposed US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, a westbound auxiliary land and an eastbound climbing land would be required. In addition, the project would realign approximately 1.2 miles of US 550 south of US 160; the realigned section of US 550 would be improved to a four-lane highway. The US 160/US 550 (south) intersection as an interchange. Grade separation of this intersection would provide the best option to address the reconnection of US 160 and US 550 due to terrain and traffic volume. US 610 intersections with CR 233 (west) and State Highway 172/CR 284 as interchanges. The US 160 intersections with CR 233 (east), CR 232 (west), and CR 232 (east) would be eliminated, with CR 233 passing beneath US 160. The CR 222/CR 223 (west) intersection with US 160 would be signalized. Improvements would be made to the existing US 160/CR 501 intersection. Numerous direct access points to US 160 would be consolidated or improved to provide access control. This final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and two action alternatives for each of four corridor units into which the project was divided. The preferred alternative would generally follow the existing alignment along the US 160 corridor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve conditions for the traveling public along US 160 along the project corridor. More specifically, the project would increase travel efficiency and capacity to meet current and future needs, improve safety for the traveling public by reducing the number and severity of accidents, and provide for controlled access to the highway corridors affected. Intersections with county roads would be upgraded to meet current design standards. Design features, such as alignment shifts, retaining walls, and reduced median widths would reduce impacts to important environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of residents and businesses as well as 21 acres of wetlands and associated wildlife habitat and non-wetland habitat, including meadow habitat for a federally protected bird species, the southwestern willow flycatcher. Raptor and migratory birds are likely to next in the corridor. Nine historic properties would be affected by rights-of-way development.

AN - 36348281; 12517 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a deepwater port in Massachusetts Bay, 13 miles south-southeast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, are proposed to provide for a terminal facility for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG). At present, LNG meets 20 to 30 percent of natural gas demand in New England. Forecasts indicate that gas consumption in New England will continue to increase at an average annual growth rate of 1.4 percent for the next 22 years. As domestic supplies are static, the major increase in natural gas supply will have to come from LNG. The proposed port would lie within Continental Shelf Block 125 in water depths of 270 to 290 feet. The port would be capable of mooring special purpose LNG carriers, referred to as Energy Bridge Regasification Vessels, (EBRVs) with capacities of up to 3.2 billion cubic feet (Bcf). The port would delivery between 150 and 175 Bcf or natural gas per year to the region. Fixed components of the port would include two submerged turtet (STL) loading buoys, two flexible risers, two pipeline end manifolds, eight suction pile anchors, and two subsea flow lines, approximately 3,773 feet and 2,942 feet in length, that would connect to a new 16.1-mile-long pipeline lateral. The pipeline lateral would connect the port to the HubLine pipeline at a location approximately three miles east of Marblehead Neck. Two EBRVs would be equipped to store, transport, and vaporize LNG and to odorize and meter natural gas. Vaporization would occur onboard the EBRVs using closed-loop shell-and-tube, recirculating heat exchangers heaved by steam from boil-off gas/vaporized LNG-fired boilers. Onshore meter stations in Salem and Weymouth, Massachusetts would be expanded as part of the project, and space would b rented in the existing office space for an onshore operations center for the port. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and onshore versus offshore port alternatives, alternative terminal types, alternative port sites, alternative vaporization technologies, alternative anchoring methods, alternative pipeline routes, and alternative construction schedules. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port and terminal facilities would provide for the increasing demand for natural gas in New England could replace more expensive, less environmentally friendly oil-fired generators and heating units in some cases. The facilities would promote the development of oil and natural gas production on the outer continental shelf by affording an economic and safe means of transporting oil and natural gas to the mainland. Total combined construction employment would provide jobs for 679 workers, of which over 200 would be local hires. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Port construction would disturb 43 acres of habitat for flowline installation, setting of the suction anchors, and placement of the pipeline end manifolds. Benthos, shellfish, finfish, and marine mammals and sea turtles could be affected by construction activities, and operation of the facility would increase the number of ships and, thereby, the risk of collisions with marine mammals and sea turtles. Five species f endangered sea turtles and six species of endangered whales occur in the areas. Essential habitat for 28 species of finfish, two species of squid, and three species of shellfish would be affected. Recreational fishing and marine visual aesthetics would be degraded somewhat. Construction activities would limit shipping in the area due to restriction of access. Construction- and operation-related emissions of nitrogen oxides could exceed federal air quality standards.

AN - 36340872; 12056 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a dredged material containment facility (DCMF) in Baltimore City and Mansonville, Maryland is proposed to receive dredged spoil from the Baltimore Harbor channels north of the North Point-Rock Point line. Both the Maryland Dredged Material Management Program and the Federal Dredged Material Management Program have recommended the development of several DCMFs for Baltimore Harbor dredged sediments during the next 20 years. The creation of the proposed Mansonville DCMF would represent one of three actions recommended by the Maryland body's executive committee. The facility was selected for development prior to the other two proposed facilities to meet short-term dredged material placement needs. A shortfall of dredged material placement capacity is excepted to occur in fiscal year 2007. This shortfall presents an urgent need to implement new options capable of accepting the annual volume of 1.5 million cubic yards of dredge spoil. The recommended alternative would provide for a DMCF at Masonville capable of containing 16 million cubic yards of material dredged from the Baltimore Harbor over a 20-year period. The proposed site lies within the estuarine reaches of the Patapsco River, which is generally considered to be part of Baltimore Harbor. More specifically, the site is located approximately four miles upstream of Key Bridge and approximately one mile downstream of Hanover Bridge. on the southern shore of the river. Six DMCF alignments were originally developed based on engineering constraints to determine the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable alternative. The site would accommodate annual placement of 500,000 to 1.0 million cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new DCMF would provide for the disposal of contaminated spoil, unsuitable for ocean or bay disposal, from maintenance dredging within the Baltimore Harbor, allowing the harbor authorities to maintain the navigability of harbor channels and basins. The containment of contaminated dredge spoil would remove pollutants from the Chesapeake Bay estuary and prevent the future release of the contaminants into the water column. Creation of a fill at the site would provide an area for development of future facilities or estuarine conservation measures. Environmental remediation measures undertaken during the development of the site, including the removal of 25 derelict vessels and the capping of contaminated sediments at the site, would enhance the environmental condition of the immediate area and the water quality of the estuary in general. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The footprint of the recommended alternative would displace 141 acres, of which 10 acres would be shoreline or upland, 127 acres open water, one acre of wetland, and three acres unauthorized fill. The filling of open water would destroy benthic and finfish habitat. Site development and disposal activities over the 20-year life of the site would result in the release of sediment, including contaminated sediment, into the water column.

Preparation date: May 11, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SAN CLEMENTE DAM SEISMIC SAFETY PROJECT, MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36340837; 12054 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a project to improve safety at the San Clemente Dam in Monterey County, California is proposed. The dam is located in the upper reaches of the Carmel River at the confluence of the river and San Clemente Creek, approximately 15 miles southeast of the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and 3.7 miles southeast of Carmel Valley Village. Under current conditions, dam integrity could be breached by either seismic activity or extreme flood flow. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. The proposal forwarded by the proponent of the project, California American Water Company (CAWC), would strengthen the existing dam to comply with state dam safety requirements. The proposed project would eliminate safety risks by thickening the downstream face of the dam with concrete, strengthening the right abutment near the dam crest, modifying the spillway and dam crest to increase effective spillway width, and armoring the abatements with gunite to prevent erosion. A concrete batch plant would be installed onsite to manufacture the required concrete. The electrical system at the dam would be improved. Sediment sluicing would be required to maintain the existing surface water supply intake and to ensure fish passage through the accumulated sediment. During construction, the Carmel River and San Clemente Creek would be diverted around the construction area, the plunge pool at the base of the dam would be dewatered, and a trap and truck facility would be operated for one construction year. The existing fish ladder allows steelhead trout, a federally protected species, to ascend 68 feet to the reservoir and watershed above the dam. The proposed project would include provision of a new fish ladder. Two high-level outlets equipped with sluice gates would control and limit sediment releases, maintain upstream passage to the fish ladder exit, and maintain water flow into the water supply diversion pipeline. A new access from Carmel Valley Road would be provided to bypass the Sleep Hollow community, and the Old Carmel River Dam Bridge and access road from the Carmel Valley Filter Plant to the dam would be improved. The existing access road along the east side of the Carmel River would be rebuilt. Alternative 1 would provide for dam notching and partial removal of sediment from the storage reservoir. Alternative 2 would involve removal of the dam and all trapped sediments. Alternative 3 would reroute the Carmel River, remove the dam, and stabilize stored sediments in-place. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would be implemented over three to five years following approval. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to addressing dam safety with respect to high flows and seismic activity, the project would provide fish passage at the structure, maintain a point of diversion to support existing CAWC water supply facilities and water rights services, and minimize financial impacts to CAWC ratepayers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would result in short-term changes in river hydrology, particularly with respect to sediments, and a short-term loss of fish rearing habitat. Incidental take of federally protected species could occur. Operation of sluice gates, which would occur, on average, once per year, would release 4.5 acre-feet of sediment downstream over a three- to eight-hour period. Alteration of the dam and replacement of the fish ladder would involve the modification or loss of historically significant structures.

AN - 36349889; 12050 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a 600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired electric power generating station, to be known as Big Stone II, in Grant County, South Dakota are proposed. Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) applied, on behalf of all project co-owners, to interconnect the project to the Western Area Power Administration's (Western) power transmission system at its Morris and Granite Falls substations. In addition to MRES, co-owners include Central Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, Great River Energy (GRE), Heartland Consumers Power District, Missouri River Energy Services, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., Otter Tail Power Company, Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, and Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. All co-owners are member of the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP). A 2005 MAPP load and capability study indicates that utilities within the region would suffer capacity deficits during 2011, which would grow to 2,500 MW by 2014. In addition to Western's cooperation, other federal actions related to the project include the consideration of loan financing for GRE from the Rural Utilities Service to finance the former's involvement in the project. The new plant would be located adjacent to the existing Big Stone plant, which lies eight miles northeast of Milbank and two miles northwest of Big Stone City. Existing Big Stone plant infrastructure, including the cooling water intake, pumping system and delivery pipelines, coal delivery and handling facilities, solid waste disposal facilities, and water storage ponds, would be used for the proposed Big Stone II plant. New construction would include the proposed plant, cooling tower blow down pond, cooling tower, and make-up water storage pond. The new facility would use pulverized coal-fired, super-critical boiler technology and would burn low-sulfur coal mined in the Powder River Basin. A new wet flue gas desulfurization system would be employed to control sulfur dioxide emissions from both power plants. Substation modifications and associated transmission line extensions would be provided in South Dakota and Minnesota, in part to interconnect to the southwestern Minnesota utility grid. Two transmission alternatives have been identified. Alternative A would provide a 230-kilovolt (kV) line from Big Stone to Western's substation near Morris, Minnesota and a 230-kV line from Big Stone to Western's substation at Granite Falls, Minnesota. Alternative B would provide for a 230-kV line from Big Stone to a substation at Willmar, Minnesota and the Granite Falls substation. In addition to the proposed action and the alternatives, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new station unit and transmission facilities would help meet the additional regional power requirements of the seven co-owners, Mid-Continent Area Power Pool. Transmission line construction would employ 40 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 80 acres of soil and vegetation would disturbed during plant construction. Overall, plant components would disturb 612 acres, of which 414 would be permanently removed from agricultural use. Residual impacts would include the loss of 96.4 acres of wetlands, forest, and prairie vegetation and 532 acres of wildlife habitat, including habitat for special status species. The new plant would emit 4.7 million tons of carbon dioxide and, in combination with the existing plant, 22 tons of hazardous air pollutants per year. The new plant would consume 7,500 acre-feet of water from Big Stone Lake annually, potentially lowering the lake surface by one foot during one year out of 70 years of operation. Transmission line rights-of-way would also affect soils, including prime agricultural soils, and vegetation, including habitat for special status species.

CP05-83-000, CP05-84-000, CP05-85-000, CP05-86-000). AN - 36341188; 12048 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and natural gas pipeline facilities, to be known as the Port Arthur LNG Project, in Jefferson and Orange Counties, Texas and Cameron, Calcasieu, and Beauregard parishes, Louisiana is proposed. The applicants, Port Arthur LNG, L.P. and Port Arthur Pipeline, L.P. (collectively known as Sempra) would provide these facilities in two phases, ultimately offering a capacity of 3.0 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to the existing pipeline infrastructure in Texas and Louisiana and to potential other end-users in the Midwestern and Northeastern gas markets. More specifically, facilities would include a protected LNG ship unloading system consisting of two berths each consisting of four 16-inch unloading arms and one 16-inch vapor return arm, mooring and breasting dolphins, a gangway tower, firewater monitors, service utilities, and associated valves and piping; an LNG storage system consisting of six full-containment LNG storage tanks each with a nominal capacity of 1.0 million barrels and each equipped with three can-type, fully submerged LNG in-tank pumps sized for 2,976 gallons per minute; a boil-off gas (BOG) recovery system consisting of four reciprocating BOG compressors each sized for 13,887 pounds each sized for 13,887 pounds per hour, four integral geared return gas blowers each sized for 32,338 pounds per hour, and one direct-contact recondenser; an LNG transfer system to transfer LNG from the recondenser to the send-out LNG vaporizers consisting of 16 pot-mounted LNG booster pumps each sized for 1,964 gallons per minute; an LNG vaporization system consisting of 12 shell-and-tube LNG vaporizers each sized for 0.305 billion cubic feet per day; a hot water heating system consisting of eight gas-fired hot water heaters each sized for 348 million British thermal units per hour and six centrifugal hot water circulation pumps each size for 11.727 gallons per minute; an emergency vent system; LNG spill containment system; fire water system; fuel gas, nitrogen, instrument/plant air and service water utility systems; various hazard detection, control, and prevention systems; and cryogenic piping, electrical, and instrumentation systems; utilities, buildings and support facilities; facilities for pig launchers and receivers; metering facilities; and approximately 73 miles of 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline and associated ancillary pipeline facilities. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, a postponed action alternative, use of other LNG facilities, four disposal sites for dredged materials, and five pipeline route variations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would allow to foreign LNG supplies, thereby providing a new, stable source of between 1.5 and 3.0 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas to supplement diminishing U.S. supplies while using, to the extend practicable, the existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure within the Gulf of Mexico region of the U.S. The system would also natural gas delivery to markets in the Midwest and Northeast via existing interstate natural gas pipeline systems. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Clearing and construction activities would disturb 1,497 acres of land comprising palustrine, scrub-shrub, and forested wetlands; estuarine emergency marsh; coastal/upland prairie grasslands; coastal woodlands/upland forests; agricultural and pasture land; previously disturbed lands; and open water/channel shoreline habitat. Pipelines would traverse 84 water bodies, including 37 perennial streams, 42 intermittent drainages, two lakes, and three ponds. Of these, 16 are classified as major water body crossings. The project could affect essential fish habitat for post-larval, juvenile, and adult red drum; sub-adult and adult Spanish macherel; and juvenile and sub-adult white and brown shrimp. overall, 455.7 acres of open water and estuarine essential fish habitat would be affected by construction, most of which would lie in disposal corridors. Though 17 federal and state listed endangered and threatened species have habitat in the affected project area, it appears that none would be harmed by the project. Ship traffic increases in the area of the terminal could affect transportation times and safety, but these impacts should be minor and not unusual for this sort of project.

CP05-360-000, CP05-357-000, CP05-358-000, AND CP05-359-000). AN - 36341928; 12047 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity is proposed for the construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in the Gulf of Mexico in Cameron Parish, Louisiana and natural gas pipeline facilities in Cameron, Calcasieu, Beauregard, Allen, Jefferson, Davis, and Acadia parishes, Louisiana. The applicants, Creole Trail LNG, L.P. and Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline Company, would construct the following structures within the Gulf and on land within the aforementioned counties: a ship unloading slip with two protected births, each equipped with three liquid unloading arms and one vapor return arm; four LNG storage tanks, each with a usable volume of 1.0 million barrels; 21 high-pressure LNG send out pumps, each with a capacity of 1,686 gallons per minute; 21 high-pressure submerged combustion vaporizers, each with a capacity of 183 million cubic feet per day; three boil-off gas compressors; ancillary utilities, buildings, and service facilities at the LNG terminal; 116.8 miles of dual 42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline; 6.8 miles of 20-inch-diameter lateral line natural gas pipeline; 18 meter and regulation facilities; and associated pipeline facilities, including pig launcher and receiver facilities, two mainline valves on the 20-inch pipeline and eight mainline valves on each of the individual pipelines in the dual pipeline system. The terminal and pipeline facilities would provide for an average send out capacity of 3.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) or natural gas and a total plant capacity of 3.8 Bcfd. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative and alternative onshore and offshore LNG facilities and pipeline routes. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The terminal and pipeline would allow the applicants to help meet the growing demand for natural gas in the United States by providing access to a reliable and stable supply of natural gas from diverse areas throughout the world. Natural gas delivery from the terminal would serve customers in the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Northeast, and Atlantic markets using existing interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline systems. System operation would employ 86 to 103 workers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 3,096.9 acres of farmland, rangeland, wetlands, coastal prairie/grassland, forest, developed land, and open water. Operation of the facilities would affect 1,216.7 acres, of which 123.7 acres would be converted permanently for operation of the LNG terminals, 12.1 acres for aboveground pipeline facilities, and 14.4 acres for permanent access roads. The pipeline would traverse or cross in the vicinity of numerous oil and gas wells. The primary impact on surface waters within the Gulf and the Calcasieu and Mermentau river watersheds would be due to the dredging of 4.1 million cubic yards of material from the area in and adjacent to the Calcasieu Ship Channel for construction of the marine basin and tugboat dock. Dredging would convert 49.8 acres of land to open water. The pipeline system would cross 175 water bodies, including 43 perennial streams, one lake, four artificial ponds, 65 intermittent streams, and 62 ditches. Two state-listed scenic river would be traversed but he pipeline. Alternation of benthic community patterns during construction could make the pipeline rights-of-way temporarily unavailable as feeding areas or habitat for fishes or other bottom feeding species. Oyster habitat would be affected. Essential fish habitat for post larval, juvenile, sub adult, and/or adult white shrimp and brown shrimp, red drum, and bonnet head shark, Of the 21 federally protected species in the project area, only the brown pelican and sea turtle would be affected by project construction and operation. Complete information on the project's impacts on the federally protected red-cockaded woodpecker has not yet been obtained. One abandoned storage tank would be encountered during site preparation. Nine residences would lie within 50 feet of the proposed pipeline construction corridor. At least 10 cultural resource sites would lie within the area affected by pipeline construction and operation; three of these sites are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Ship traffic in the vicinity of the terminal would increase substantially, increasing the risk of ship-to-ship collision.

Preparation date: May 4, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - PRESTONSBURG AND LOWER LEVISA FORK, SECTION 202 FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION, FLOYD COUNTY, KENTUCKY. AN - 36342196; 12043 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of flood damage control measures for lands adjacent to the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River in Floyd County, Kentucky is proposed. Floyd County lies within the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky in the watershed of the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River. Many communities within the floodplain of the Levisa Fork and its tributaries were devastated by the April 1977 flood, which is the flood of record for the region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would provide for a long floodwall ending at Big Sandy Community and Technical College, combined with flood gates, raised roadways, curbs, and small wall sections in the downtown area. The floodwall would extend around the downtown Preston area, tying into high ground upstream of the wastewater treatment plant. The floodwall alignment would begin at the intersection of South Lake Drive and Hughes Street and follow Riverside Drive, Central Avenue, and South Front Street. The 14,600 wall, with heights of up to 11 feet, plus a one-foot superiority, would be complemented by eight stop log closures at driveways, two stop log storage buildings, and raised roadway pavements. In addition to providing flood protection, the plan would also separate storm water and wastewater collection in the downtown area. The alternative includes slope protection measures and options for borrow and spoil areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The floodwall would protect infrastructure, roadways, homes, and businesses in most of Prestonburg by preventing Levisa Fork from overtopping in the Blackbottom area, a situation which now causes flooding ni the central business district as well as in Blackbottom. The floodwall would also protect the college and its campus. The preferred alternative would provide cost-effective, socially acceptable, and environmentally sound measures to reduce financial and personal losses and social and economic disruptions within the Floyd County portion of the Levisa Fork basin. The separation of Storm water and wastewater would reduce the likelihood of Storm water backups. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The floodwall would alter the topography of the river corridor and block views of the river from Preston, particularly the downtown area. River hydrology would be drastically altered and the floodplain would be constrained, though the latter effect would have little negative impacts due to the urbanization of the lands adjacent to the river. Bank habitat would be replaced by the concrete wall, and river flows would be more concentrated, possibly leading to scour. Recreational access to the river would be restricted along some stretches.

Preparation date: May 3, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIO SALADO OESTE, SALT RIVER-PHOENIX, PHOENIX, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36342166; 12042 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan for the Rio Salado Oeste, Salt River study area of Phoenix, Maricopa County. Arizona is proposed. The study area consists of an eight-mile reach of the Salt River and adjacent lands, extending from Nineteenth Avenue downstream to eighty-Third Avenue between Buckeye and Baseline roads, in and near southwestern Phoenix Historically, the study area supported significant biological resources, including extensive riparian and marsh habitats. Urban development, diversion of water to support agriculture, and domestic livestock grazing have eliminated or altered most of the natural vegetative communities that occupied the study area, leaving only scattered remnants of the original communities. Modifications to the river system have prevented flows through the corridor except during flood events and lowered the associated groundwater table. In addition, sand and gravel mining operations have resulted in further degradation of the river channel and hydrology. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative ?), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would entail excavation, planting of vegetation, and installation of irrigation equipment to facilitate the restoration of 1,466 acres of riparian habitats along the river corridor. Restored habitats would consist of 170 acres of river channel, including 34 acres of in-channel wetlands, 375 acres of cottonwood/willow forest, 417 acres of mesquite, 156 acres of other wetlands, 296 acres of riparian scrub, and 52 acres of scrub shrub. First costs of the ecosystem restoration and recreation components are estimated at $151.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would provide a net habitat value of 847 Average Annual Functional Capacity Units (AAFCUs), an increase of 267 AAFCUs over the existing situation. The plan would also deliver recreational opportunities, general improvements in aesthetic quality, a reduction in air pollution levels, and a slight reduction in the potential for flood damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Grading and other excavation activities would alter the geomorphology of the corridor somewhat. Construction activities would result in short-term loss of vegetation, decreases in fish and wildlife populations, damage or destruction of cultural resource sites, and increased sedimentation in the corridor and down stream areas. Recreation use could result in the release of additional air pollutants. Increases in standing water would increase the production of insect vectors.

The HGM approach is a collection of concepts and methods used to develop functional indices to assess the capacity of a particular wetland to perform functions relative to similar wetlands in a region. Specifically, this report describes the rationale that was used to select functions for two subclasses of herbaceous freshwater depressions, the Isolated Depression subclass and the Floodplain Depression subclass. The report also describes the process used to select model variables and metrics and to develop assessment models. Data from reference wetlands are provided and used to calibrate model variables and assessment models. Protocols for applying functional indices to the assessment of wetland functions are provided.

They can be caused by the target itself or by reverberation between a target and a stratigraphic interface that defines a high contrast in permittivity. The most common interface is the ground surface. I discuss resonances that occur at depth beneath shallow, frozen lakes located on an artillery and bombing range in interior Alaska. They originate near ice bottom and freeze/thaw interface horizons and are similar to those caused by shallow utilities. The transmitted pulse spectra were centered near 300 MHz. I interpret the resonances to have originated with reflections from metal targets because automatic gain control and low-pass filtering appear to differentiate them from natural clutter. The time delays between their onset and that of the overlying interface reflections correspond with spectral peaks well below the transmitted pulse bandwidth and predicted by in situ quarter-wave resonance theory. Consequently, they are not resonances of the targets themselves. Although the time delays cannot resolve both layer thickness and permittivity, reasonable values of permittivity give layer overburdens above the targets on the order of 10 cm, which is consistent with the persistence of the resonances. A simple, one- dimensional model shows that strong dielectric contrasts across the overlying interfaces are needed to make these frequencies significant. The appearance of other spectral peaks may be natural target resonances, so that the two phenomena may be complementary in the presence of strongly reflecting interfaces. The presence of shoreline craters, the unlikelihood that these lakes have ever been inspected, and the infrequent occurrence of the resonances amongst natural clutter lead to the conclusion that the targets may be unexploded ordnance (UXO). Late winter is an ideal time to survey for such objects in these lakes because the ice affords exact and repeatable positioning for the antennas and because thermal interfaces between strong permittivity contrasts are then well developed. The pulse bandwidth appears to be ideally suited for detection and discrimination of these resonances by filtering.

The analyses of these phenomena has traditionally centered on hydraulic aspects associated with head distribution and exit gradients that are known to be associated with uplift and loss of effective stress at the levee toe. These methods do not consider mechanics of internal erosion although the danger posed by this mechanism is well known. Experience with levees along the Mississippi has shown that the performance of levee foundation systems depends on the history of flooding. It has been found that one of the best predictors of sand boil formations is the previous occurrence of sand boils during a large flooding event. While this finding might appear to be obvious, the recurrence of sand boils can come with floods that are less severe than those that did not cause sand boils prior to that major flooding event. That is, the major flooding event evidently changed the foundations conditions. Post-flood observations clearly show large quantities of fine sand that have been removed from the subsurface, sometimes without obvious subsidence. Thus, to make progress in understanding the danger from underseepage, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of internal erosion and the associated changes in material properties. Mechanisms of internal erosion lie outside the usual continuum mechanical description of soil mechanics, making rational analysis of the problem difficult. In the absence of a cogent theory it is even difficult to determine what soil properties should be measured or how to infer the level of stability under some particular set of conditions. As a contribution to the discussion on the mechanics of internal erosion, recent findings in the field of granular mechanics are discussed that shed light on how internal stresses are transmitted by granular media. Research has shown that the structural behavior of a gap graded soil is related to the dominant size fraction. For example, several researchers have found that adding a coarse fraction to a fine- grained soil has a proportionate effect on properties up to the point where the coarse fraction comprises a critical fraction of the mixture. Mixtures beyond that critical fraction show a marked transition of behavior to that of a coarse-grained material. The transition point is referred to as the percolation threshold in reference to percolation theory. The interpretation of this behavior is that beyond the threshold the fine-grained fraction transmits little force through the structure and acts only as weak, poorly compacted filler to the overall volumetric matrix. Of critical importance is the fact that as the relative percentages of material size change over time, the transition between fine to coarse grained material response occurs abruptly. This abrupt transition can lead to material instabilities owing to a very weak support structure within the soil matrix and possible failure of the embankment foundation. In this paper, a series of experiments are presented that documents the mechanical state of each fraction within the mixture and its response to applied loading. These results are being supplemented with discrete element computations to further elucidate the mechanical interactions among size fractions within mixtures. The implication of these findings to the problem of history effects in foundation performance will be discussed.

During the first determination, the monitor had an RA of 25% compared with ASTM Method D6784-02 (Ontario Hydro Method). However, the Ontario Hydro Method performed poorly, because the mercury concentrations were near the detection limit of the reference method The mercury in this exhaust stream was primarily elemental. The second test was performed al a U.S. Army boiler against EPA Reference Method 29. Mercury and arsenic were spiked because of expected low mercury concentrations. The monitor had an RA of 16% for arsenic and 17% for mercury, meeting RA requirements of EPA Performance Specification 12a. The results suggest that the sampling stream contained significant percentages of both elemental and oxidized mercury The monitor was successful at measuring total mercury in particulate and vapor forms.

AN - 16366714; 12098 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a four-lane freeway to provide a bypass for State Route (SR) 65 around the city of Lincoln, Placer County, California is proposed. The facility would extend from 0.5 mile south of Industrial Boulevard to a point north of Riosa Road. Continuing growth in Placer County and the Sacramento Valley has resulted in the need for a new and improved SR 65 corridor to alleviate congestion in the city of Lincoln. Existing SR 65 through Lincoln is a "Main Street" highway, which will not serve the ultimate transportation needs of the region. Due primarily to congestion, the accident rate in downtown Lincoln is higher than the average rate for this type of facility. As traffic volumes continue to increase, SR 65 south of Lincoln and within downtown Lincoln is expected to exceed available capacity by the year 2005. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The build alternatives range in length from 11.6 to 12.8 miles. All build alternatives begin at the same location and meet existing S.R. 65 at slightly different locations between Dowd Road and the Bear River. Alternatives AAC2 and A5C1 would begin at Industrial Boulevard and end just before the Bear River; both alignments would past east of the airport. Alternatives D1 and D13, which would pass west of the airport, the major difference distinguishing D1 and D13 would be that D13 would avoid the Rockwell subdivision. Alternative D13 South Modification would combine alternatives D1 and D13 to provide a greater distance between the highway and residents in the Brookview subdivision. Alternative D13 North Modified would be identical to Alternative D13, except that it would make a gentle curve just past Cood Creek and proceed straight to SR 65 to preclude the acquisition of a wetland area for rights-of-way purposes. One further modification of D13 could be incorporated into the project to prevent the project from impacting the Fickewirth Ranch, a site determined eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Estimated costs of the project ranges from $159 million to $220 million. Alternative D13 North Modified has been identified as the preferred alternative; its cost estimates range from $184 million to $220 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The bypass freeway would alleviate congestion and improve safety within the city of Lincoln and provide for more efficient inter-regional movement of goods and services. Traffic volumes anticipated within the SR 65 corridor would be accommodated through the year 2020. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would displace 10 residences, one business, and 388.4 acres of farmland. The highway would displace 26.9 acres of vernal plops and swales, 16.15 acres of vernal and freshwater marsh, 0.26 acre on non-wetland waters, 42 acres of nonnative grasslands, 280.4 acres of northern hardpan grassland vernal pool complex, four acres of northern mudflow vernal pool complex, 1.7 acres of mixed riparian forest, 13 acres of mixed oak woodland, and 23.6 acres of vernal pool fairy shrimp critical habitat. The highway wuold have a 823 -acre footprint and traverse nine streams. Federal protected species potentially affect would include vernal pool fairy shrimp and tadpole shrimp, Swainson's hawk, Ahart's dwarf rush, Legenere, Bogg's Lake hedge hyssop, several bat species, valley elderberry longhorn beetle. In addition vernal pool habitat for other species would be affected.

AN - 36345964; 12034 AB - PURPOSE: The development of Trans-Texas Corridor 35 (TTC-35), extending across Texas from the Oklahoma state line, north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, to the Mexico international border and/or the Gulf Coast, is proposed. TTC-35 would be a major component of the overall TTC system, which is a proposed multi-use, statewide network of transportation routes in Texas that would incorporate existing and new highways, railways, and utility rights-of-way into an integrated system. Utilities to be accommodated would include water supply lines, oil and natural gas pipelines, and transmission lines for electricity, broadband telecommunications, and other telecommunications services. This system would help accommodate economic and population growth in the vicinity of the corridor; growth of 145 percent is expected within the region served by the corridor between 2000 and 2060. Current traffic volumes for most segments of the interstate system serving the corridor exceed design capacity and demands being placed on related highways and railroads are far outpacing new construction plans. As currently planned, the TTC-35 multimodal corridor would ultimately include two separate lanes for trucks and three separate lanes for passenger vehicles in each direction, six rail lines, with one in each direction for high-speed rail, commuter rail and freight rail, and a 200-foot-wide utility zone, all within 1,200 feet of rights-of-way. Plans call for TTC-35 to be completed in phases over the next 50 years, with phasing prioritized according to Texas transportation needs. This draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative and 12 reasonable corridor alternatives, ranging from four to 18 miles in width. If this Tier 1 document results in the selection of a corridor alternative as the preferred alternative, the selected corridor would become the study area for subsequent Tier 2 environmental review of potential alignments for TTC-35. POSITIVE IMPACTS: TCC-35 would improve the international, interstate, and intrastate movement of goods and people; address anticipated transportation needs of Texas from the Texas/Oklahoma state line to the Texas/Mexico border and/or the Gulf Coast along the Interstate 35 (I-35) corridor for the next 20 to 50 years; and sustain and enhance the economic vitality of the state of Texas. The TCC system would provide numerous modal options and intermodal connections to freight operators as well as passengers. Poor safety and service statistics on the I-35 corridor would be reversed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would displace residential and commercial developments, parkland, historic districts and sites and archaeologic sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, oil and natural gas well sites and other potential and active mineral extraction sites, vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, habitat for federally protected species of plants and animals, landfills, farmland, stream channel segments and floodplains, reservoir storage capacity, and wetlands. Minority and/or low-income populations along the corridor would be disproportionately affected by TCC developments in some areas. The corridor would traverse non-attainment zones for criterion air pollutants in some areas, further degrading air quality in these areas. The corridor would traverse aquifers, potentially threatening groundwater quality used for human water supplies.

The applicants' proposal would provide for two new 160,000-cubic-metter single containment LNG storage tanks; additional vaporization capacity consisting of shell and tube vaporizers and associated equipment; additional power generation equipment consisting of two 21.7-megawatt gas turbine generators and three emergency generators; LNG terminal infrastructure, including roads and storage and work areas; 47.8 miles of 36-inch loop pipeline in Calvert, Prince Georges, and Charles County, Maryland; 81 miles of 24-inch pipeline lateral in Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdom, Centre, and Clinton counties, Pennsylvania; two new compressor stations in Juniata and Centre County, Pennsylvania; 11 miles of 24-inch pipeline loop in Wetzel County, West Virginia and Green County, Pennsylvania; 12 miles of 24-inch pipeline loop and 10 miles of 20-inch pipeline loop in Potter County, Pennsylvania; replacement of 0.6 mile of pressure testing and possible replacement of 0.4 mile of 30-inch pipeline in Franklin County, Pennsylvania; modifications to Loudoun Measuring and Regulating Station in Loudoun County, Virginia; 2,800 horsepower of additional compression at the Mockingbird Hill Compressor Station in Wetzel County, West Virginia; modification of the Leesburg Compressor Station in Loudoun County, Virginia; additional facilities and pipeline replacement at the Leidy M&R Station in Clinton County, Pennsylvania; 3,500 horsepower of additional compression at the Wolf Run Compressor Station in Lewis County, West Virginia; and modification of the Quinlan Compressor Station in Cattaraugus County, New York. In addition to the proposed action, this final EIS addresses the No Action Alternative, system alternatives, alternative LNG terminal projects, and pipeline route alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Dominions proposed LNG terminal expansion would increase the send-out capacity of the facility by 800,000 decatherms per day and increase the storage capacity by 6.8 million decatherms per day. The proposed pipeline and related facilities in Maryland and Virginia would allow it to deliver an additional 800,000 decatherms per day from the LNG terminal to its connections with other interstate pipelines. The pipelines proposed in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York would allow Dominion to transport an additional 700,000 decatherms per day to various delivery points on its system and offer new underground storage service of 6,0 million decatherms, with an additional demands of 100,000 decatherms per day. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project activities would disturb 1,900 acres of land, including 175 acres for aboveground facilities and 1,725 acres for pipelines. Following construction, Dominion would maintain 59 acres for aboveground facilities and 1,078 acres for new pipeline rights-of-way. A total of 27 public water wells would lie within one mile of the pipeline rights-of-way and numerous private wells would lie within 150 feet of the centerline. Pipelines would traverse 97 perennial water bodies as well as numerous intermittent or ephemeral water bodies. Pipeline construction would affect 83.3 acres of wetlands, 964 acres of agricultural and open lands, 21 acres of range and scrub lands, and 681 acres of forested lands. Thermal facilities expansion would displace another 18 acres of forested land. Though unlikely, it is possible that the project could affect the federally protected bald eagle, Indiana bat, and northeastern bull rush and numerous state-listed protected species. The transit corridor for LNG vessels calling on the Cove Point LNG terminal would traverse open water and estuarine habitats on the Chesapeake Bay; the number of ships traversing these waters each year would increase from 90 to 200. In addition to estuarine and open water fish, ship movements could affect federally protected and unprotected marine mammals and recreational boaters and other craft operators. Fifty-eight residences, one camp, and one business would lie within 50 feet of the pipeline. Two historically significant properties within the pipeline rights-of-way would suffer unavoidable impacts.

AN - 36340645; 12039 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of Illinois 29 (IL 29; Federal Aid Primary 318) from IL 6 to Interstate 180 (I-180) in Peoria, Marshall, Putnam, and Bureau counties, Illinois is proposed. The 35-mile study corridor includes the major communities of Chillicothe, Sparland, Lacon, and Henry as well as smaller communities, including Mossville, Rome, Hopewell, and Putnam. In addition to the No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers improvements to the existing highway and possible bypasses at Chillicothe, Sparland, and Henry. Chillicothe would be bypasses on the west if that alternative were selected. North of Chillicothe, the proposed improvements would lie within the existing IL 29 alignment. To minimize community impacts and impacts to natural areas, alternative sections on new alignments could be provided west of Hopewell, Sparland, and Henry, and east of Putnam. More specifically, the proposed alternative would begin at the IL 6 interchange and extend northward to I-180 north of the Kentville Road intersection. Along the 10-mile stretch from IL 6 to a point north of Chillicothe, where the alignment would rejoin existing IL 29, a freeway section would be provided on new alignment. From the proposed north Chillichote interchange to the north project terminus, the project would provide a four-lane, divided expressway on new alignment west of the community. Within the freeway section, access would be limited to grade separated interchanges. Along the expressway, at-grade intersections would be permitted at crossroads and from residential and agricultural properties. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would enhance continuity and improve safety and travel efficiency within the IL 29 corridor between Mossville and I-180 north of Kentville Road. Transportation continuity and modal interrelationships would be improved. The improved facility would enhance north-south highway access west of the Illinois River between IL and I-180, improve travel efficiency, and enhance the economic stability and development of the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 1,750.5 acres of new rights-of-way would displace 40 residences, four businesses, 83 outbuildings, 23.4 acres of wetlands, 142 acres of forested land, 1.2 acres within designated natural areas, 1,165.5 acres of farmland, and 996.5 acres of cropland. Twelve streams would be traversed. Approximately 744.5 acres of parcels would be landlocked by the project. the project would require the removal of Barville Bridge, a site eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at four sensitive noise receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter five hazardous waste sites.

AN - 16366805; 12029 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of modifications to the operational regime of the Navajo Dam and Reservoir on the San Juan River in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah is proposed. Current operations of the dam and reservoir affect the habitat of two endangered fish species, namely, the razorback sucker and the Colorado pike minnow (formerly known as the Colorado squawfish). After completion of the Navajo project in 1962, criteria governing releases of water from the dam focused primarily on meeting irrigation needs, providing flood control storage, and providing a recreational pool in the reservoir. However, native fish populations have been adversely affected or modified in part by construction and subsequent operation of the dam. In addition, Lake Powell's inundation of approximately 30 miles of the lower San Juan River has had significant impacts on native fish habitat. Introduction of non-native fish species, the past removal of native fish to create a more desirable recreational fishery, the contribution of diversion structures to these impacts, and in stream channel modifications have exacerbated the impacts on the endangered species. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative, known as the 250/5000 Alternative, would allow water projects within the basin for which consultations required under the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act have been completed. Such projects would also be required to comply with the local requirements of various local authorities, including those governing Native American tribes. The modifications proposed would require the projects to a limit minor unspecified minor depletions to 3,000 acre-feet. The operations of the Navajo Dam would be modified to provide sufficient releases to assist in the conservation of endangered fish and their designated critical habitat. Releases from the dam would range from 250 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 5,000 cfs. Releases would support water projects that have met the abovementioned consultations, including Navajo Indian Irrigation Project, Jicarilla Apache Nation Navajo River Water Supply Project, and Animas-La Plata Project the Jicarilla Apache contract with the Public Services Company of New Mexico, as well as 3,000 acre-feet of minor unspecified depletions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Modification of dam operations would provide sufficient releases of water at times, quantities, and durations necessary to conserve the two endangered fish species. The newly proposed dam operations would also allow development to proceed in the San Juan River basin in compliance with applicable laws, compacts, court decrees, and American Indian trust responsibilities. The plan would allow 56,130 acres of additional land to benefit from irrigation. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fish habitat would be reduced an average of 34 percent in special regulation waters when flows drop from 500 to 250 cfs. physical habitat and water quality problems would likely be significant downstream of Citizens Ditch. Impacts on the reservoir trout fishery and the downstream release regime would reduce recreational fishing and rafting opportunities, respectively. The hydropower resources of the river would be adversely affected. Vegetation along the seven miles immediately downstream of the dam would decline due to flow reductions. Wetland and riparian vegetation and cultural resource sites would be damaged somewhat due to reservoir fluctuation. Releases would continue to result in bank erosion downstream of the dam.

Preparation date: April 20, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BROWNS PARK ROAD, FROM RED CREEK TO COLORADO STATE LINE, DAGGETT COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 16361555; 12000 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and partial realignment of Browns Park Road from Red Creek in Daggett County in Utah to the Utah/Colorado line at Colorado Route 318 are proposed. The newly paved highway, which is currently a maintained gravel road, would extend 16 to 16.8 miles. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, in this final EIS. The action alternatives would fail to conform with the resource management plan of the Bureau of Land Management for the Diamond Mountain Resource Area, requiring an amendment to the plan to provide for the new transportation corridor and for visual resource considerations. The proposed new facility would be 30 feet wide, providing two lanes and allowing for a 30- to 40-mile-per-hour design speed. Rights-of-way would be approximately 100 feet wide. Action Alternative A, which is the preferred alternative, would generally following the existing Browns Park Road, excepting the Jesse Ewing Canyon portion that would be routed to the west to lengthen the road course, reduce grades, and generally provide a safer travel route; this is the locally preferred alternative. Alternative B would generally follow the existing alignment, excepting the Jesse Ewing Canyon section, where the road would provide for a 12-percent grade and swing further east and west from the existing alignment to lengthen the course and lessen the grade. Estimated costs of alternatives A and B are 17.1 million and $21.0 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide a safer, more efficient transportation facility that would comply with American Association of State Highway and State Officials standards. The new facility would connect logical termini by linking a currently paved portion of Browns Park Road in Utah, which junctions with US 919 near the Utah-Wyoming border, to Colorado State Route 318. The road would improve access to recreational, agricultural, and commercial developments in the Green River and Flaming Gorge from areas in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the action alternative considered, the project would disturb 203 to 218 acres during construction, though only 180.6 to 195.8 acres would lie within the permanent rights-of-way; 58 to 61 acres, all of which provides wildlife habitat for deer and grouse, would not be reclaimed. The project would displace 0.29 acre of wetland at Willow Creek and require filling of 5,980 to 6,120 linear feet of ephemeral channel and possibly 1,900 linear feet of intermittent channel. The Green River would lose 243 acre-feet of water (0.02 percent of the average flow) over the life of the project. Five to six grazing allotments would lose some forage production capacity. Vandalism potential at three historic and three prehistoric sites would increase somewhat. The project would degrade visual resources and otherwise impact the recreational experience along the corridor, which includes the Green River, included in the National System of Wild and Scenic Rivers. Traffic noise would increase somewhat.

Preparation date: April 7, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CYPRESS PIPELINE PROJECT AND PHASE VII EXPANSION PROJECT, SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA (DOCKET NOS. CP05-388-000 AND CPO6-001-000). AN - 16354713; 12001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southern Georgia and northern Florida are proposed under the Cypress Pipeline Project and the Phase VII Expansion Project. According to the Energy Information Administration, annual natural gas consumption in the United States is expected to increase, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) comprising 15 percent of total national consumption, compared to only two percent in 2003. The Cypress Project would increase the applicant's delivery capacity to meet new storage capacity on Elba Island, while the Phase VII Expansion Project would allow its applicant to interconnect to expanded Cypress Project facilities. Under the Cypress Pipeline Project, the Southern National Gas Company (SNG) would provide 166.9 miles of new 24-inch-diameter mainline pipeline in Effingham, Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camen, and Charlton counties, Georgia and Nassau, Duval, and Clay counties, Florida; 9.8 miles of new 20-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Chatham and Effingham counties, Georgia; 0.1 mile of 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Duval County, Florida; one new 10,350-horsepower gas-turbine-driven compressor station each in Liberty and Glynn counties, Georgia and Nassau County, Florida; new meter stations in Glynn County, Georgia and Nassau, Duval, and Clay counties, Florida; modifications at two existing meter stations in Chatham and Cobb counties, Georgia; expansion of one meter station in Effingham County, Georgia; installation of 16 new block valves, including 14 associated with the new mainline and two associated with the new loop; and installation of four new pig launcher/receiver facilities, including two in Effingham County, Georgia, one in Glynn County, Georgia, and one in Clay County, Florida, each collocated with new or existing meter stations or new compressor station sites. SNG would implement the project in three phases extending from October 2006 to May 2010. Under the Phase VII Expansion Project, the Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) would provide 32.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline in three separate loops in Gilchrist, Levy, and Hernando counties, Florida; replacement and upgrades to existing compressors for a net increase of 7,800 horsepower in the applicant's Compressor Station 26 in Citrus County, Florida; replacement of an existing compressor to add 2,000 horsepower at the applicant's existing Compressor Station 24 in Gilchrist County, Florida; miscellaneous modifications at upgrades to existing compressors with no increases in horsepower at the applicant's compressor stations 16, 17, and 27 in Bradford, Marion, and Hillsborough counties, Florida, respectively; a new interconnection with SNG's new mainline in Clay County, Florida; modifications to five existing metering and/or regulation stations in Clay, Polk, Bradford, and Duval counties, Florida; and new remote blow down piping associated with the new pipeline loops at two locations in Levy County and two locations in Hernando County, Florida. FGT would implement the project in two phases commencing in October 2006 and concluding in May 2009. In addition to the proposed actions, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alternative, system alternatives, and pipeline route and facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of natural gas pipeline in southern Georgia and northern Florida would support increased utilization of imported LNG as a source of energy in the Southeast. LNG is recognized as an essential supply source in meeting the growing demand for natural gas in the coming years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project developments would affect 2,713 acres of land, including 2,161.6 acres associated with the Cypress Pipeline Project and 547 associated with the FGT project. Approximately 1,0247 acres would be retained as new permanent rights-of-way. The center line of the pipelines would cross within 15 feet of 16 water wells and construction work areas would lie within 150 feet of three additional water wells and within 270 feet of eight municipal wells operated by Hernando County, Florida. The Cypress pipelines would traverse 108 water bodies, many of which are perennial flows, as well as 315 acres of forested, emergent, and scrub-shrub wetlands, while FTG's pipeline facilities would affect 42 scrub-shrub and emergent wetlands. Some agricultural land would be displaced. Project activities cold affect the federally protected eastern indigo snake. Visual and other recreational values along the pipeline routes would be marred by the presence of structures impeding recreationist views and movements. Historic and archaeological sites, including sites eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, could be affected by pipeline construction and operation.

Preparation date: April 7, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BAKER RIVER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, SKAGIT AND WHATCOM COUNTIES, WASHINGTON (PROJECT NO. 2150-033). AN - 36341833; 11997 AB - PURPOSE: The relicensing of the existing Baker River Hydroelectric Project, located on the Baker River in Whatcom and Skagit counties, Washington is proposed. The project consists of two developments, Upper Baker and Lower Baker. The two developments adjoin one another over a distance of 18 miles along the river. The project has an installed capacity of 170.03 megawatts (MW), with a proposed installed capacity of 200,03 MW, and occupies 5,207 acres of lands within the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The project is currently operated as a multi-purpose facility for hydropower generation, flood control storage, recreation, and fisheries. The project owner, Puget Sound Energy, Inc., proposes to relicense the project in accordance with a comprehensive settlement agreement that was developed under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's alternative licensing procedures. The agreement contains 50 proposed license articles covering various environmental protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures. In addition to the applicant's proposal and the modification's under the agreement accepted by the applicant, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. The mitigation and enhancement measures proposed by the applicant and the Commission address fish propagation, upstream and downstream fish passage, reservoir operations and flow releases, gravel and woody debris, shoreline erosion control, historic properties, recreation facilities, water quality, terrestrial resources (including habitat for federally protected species), an evaluation to determine the need for flow continuation valve(s) at the Lower Baker dam and installation of such facilities if warranted, and access, records, and notification procedures to help resource agencies and tribes inform themselves about the implementation and operation of fish protection measures. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The applicant would continue to provide electric service to approximately 985,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers in a service territory covering 6,300 square miles extending from Olympia to Bellingham and including the greater Everett/Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma area. Environmental protection and enhancement measures, particularly fisheries enhancement measures, would significantly improve the natural, recreational, and economic value of the river corridor. Local Native Americans would benefit culturally and economically from the increase in and maintenance of fish populations. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the preferred alternative, the project would cost $19.8 million annually to operate, which is $10.9 million more than under the No Action Alternative. Annual power generation benefits would be valued at $37.4 million, which is $1.9 million less than under the No Action Alternative. Annual generation would amount to 722,019 MW-hours, which is 1,301 MW-hours less than under the No Action Alternative. The reservoirs would continue to inundate large tracts of land that would otherwise return to terrestrial habitat as well as significant stretches of riverine habitat. Reservoir fluctuations due to releases would result in mudflats and bank erosion upstream of the dams. Releases from the reservoirs would also result in bank erosion and river bottom scour, as well as fluctuations in dissolved oxygen content, downstream of the dams. Fluctuations would also affect cultural resources along the stream bank.

AN - 85387742; pmid-16642821 AB - Experimental measurements were conducted around a right-angle wall to investigate the effect of this obstacle on sound propagation outdoors. Using small explosions as the source of the acoustic waves allowed reflected and diffracted arrivals to be discerned and investigated in detail. The measurements confirm that diffraction acts as a low-pass filter on acoustic waveforms in agreement with simple diffraction theory, reducing the peak pressure and broadening the waveform shape received by a sensor in the shadow zone. In addition, sensors mounted directly on the wall registered pressure doubling for nongrazing angles of incidence in line-of-sight conditions. A fast two-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) model was developed and provided additional insight into the propagation around the wall. Calculated waveforms show good agreement with the measured waveforms.

The dam is a zoned earth embankment built in 1970 for flood control. Flow through the dam occurs via an uncontrolled lower outlet works consisting of a concrete intake structure, conduit, and stilling basin. The dam spillway consists of a concrete weir which empties into the emergency spillway. The spillway is concrete lined on the floor and walls and contains baffles on the downstream end that serve to dissipate hydraulic energy before water enters into the unlined rock channel. The rock channel extends for 1,250 feet to its confluence with the main channel. The upper 700 feet of the rock channel, with sidewalls ranging from 50 to 60 feet high, consists of sandstone overlying shale. The left sidewall exhibits sandstone overhangs ranging from 2 to 10 feet. The right sidewall has less prominent sandstone overhangs that range from 1 to 4 feet. The rock overhangs have resulted in rockfalls that were both a safety threat to personnel and caused damage to the concrete baffles of the emergency spillway. Existing reports and design drawings along with current field reconnaissance data were used to develop plans for mitigation. The mitigative design includes removal of the rock overhangs to the contact between the sandstone and underlying shale, leaving a 2 foot bench on top of the shale to allow for future weathering. The rock to be removed, primarily durable sandstone, will be placed in the spillway channel to serve as an energy dissipater and reduce the erosion rate of the shale in the spillway channel floor. The in-place quantity of rock to be removed is estimated to be 4,000 cubic yards. Assuming a bulking factor of 45%, the spillway volume will be reduced by 5,800 cubic yards after the rock is placed in the channel. This approach was deemed desirable as limited hauling of spoil would be required. Based on historical flood events and reservoir capacity analysis the spillway capacity reduction has been deemed acceptable and not detrimental to project operation. The total cost for the rock overhang removal is estimated to be $160,000.

All the carbon sources (acetate, ethanol, and soluble starch) studied achieved the necessary reducing conditions conducive for RDX biodegradation; however, only the addition of acetate did not exhibit any toxic effects. Lower temperatures significantly reduced the biological activity of an RDX-degrading mixed culture. The first-order biodegradation rate coefficients for RDX at 15, 10, and 5 degree C were 3.72, 2.35, and 1.46 per day, respectively. The calculated activation energy for RDX was 63.5 kJ/mol. Columns with acetate as the sole electron donor achieved 22-46% mineralization of initial radiocarbon to super(14)CO sub(2), as compared to less than 5% in columns with no carbon source. Low sulfate (100 mg/L) levels temporarily delayed the onset of RDX biotransformation, while low nitrate (100 mg/L) levels drastically reduced the first-order biodegradation rate coefficient from 6.61 per day, obtained in the absence of nitrate, to 1.37 per day. High nitrate levels (500 mg/L) initially halted RDX removal completely, and significantly reduced the rate of RDX biotransformation to 0.48 per day with noticeable levels of untreated RDX in the effluent stream. Based on these findings a full-scale field demonstration of biologically active zone enhancement for RDX treatment in aquifers was implemented at the former Nebraska Ordnance plant in Mead, Neb., using acetate as a readily available carbon source.

Because perchlorate is biodegradable, a column study was conducted investigating the feasibility of in situ biodegradation of perchlorate using acetate as an organic substrate, which was necessary to stimulate biodegradation of perchlorate. Degradation of the perchlorate was rapid, with a minimal lag phase, once acetate was added to the column. By 72 h, complete removal of the perchlorate occurred (from 10 to <0.05 mg times L super(-1)) within the first 15 cm of the column. The column was then allowed to reach steady-state degradation with an influent perchlorate concentration of 50 mg times L super(-1) and an influent acetate concentration of 100 mg times L super(-1). The perchlorate was removed in the first 7.5 cm of the column. Then, the acetate was removed. This study indicated that, although acetate is needed to stimulate perchlorate removal, residual activity remains as the acetate is removed, retarding the decline in performance. Upon the reintroduction of 10 mg times L super(-1) of acetate in the influent, rapid removal of perchlorate was quickly reestablished. Steady-state operation was compared at three loading rates. In each case, the perchlorate was degraded below 0.05 mg times L super(-1) within the first 7.5 cm of the column. Volumetric degradation rates for perchlorate were as high as 102.6 g times m super(-3) times day super(-1), and the rate was completely dependent on the concentration for the loading rate tested. The column effluent was tested using analytical techniques with a method detection limit of 1 mu g times L super(-1). For each loading, the effluent, on average, met the California action level of 6 mu g times L super(-1).

AN - 16366542; 11991 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of the Harrisonburg Southeast Connector, traversing the southeastern metropolitan area of the city of Harrisonburg in Rockingham County, Virginia is proposed. The new facility would extend from US 11 to US 33. Direct east-west links across the study area connecting major activity centers and major highways are limited. Most roads across the area are secondary facilities that are narrow, winding, hilly, and discontinuous. The country development plan indicates that this area should be made available for commercial, residential and industrial development and proposes water and sewer services to serve that growth, resulting in the need for supporting transportation infrastructure improvements. Five build alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Combinations of multiple build alternatives are also discussed. The essential differences distinguishing alternatives involve alignment routing. Depending on the route chosen, the facility would extend 3.1 to 8.6 miles. The facility would utilize two lane sections with paves shoulders and four-lane sections with paved shoulders and a graded or raised median. Certain four-lane sections would include curbs and gutters, sidewalks, and bikeways. Depending on the alternative considered, cost of rights-of-way and engineering/construction are estimated at $10.9 million to $31.2 million and $24.1 million to $49.8 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The connector would enhance east-west mobility in the metropolitan area significantly and accommodate anticipated future development in the southeastern sector. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 93 to 190 acres of land. 19 to 93 residences, one to 12 businesses, up to six farms, one to 43 acres of prime farmland, two to 71 acres of farmland of statewide importance, up to 0.84 acre of wetlands and 12 acres of floodplain, and 11.9 to 22.7 acres of forested land. The project would requirement alteration of 980 to 4,646 linear feet of stream. One historic property would be adversely impacted. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of six to 70 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers could encounter as many as five hazardous materials sites.

Preparation date: March 31, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT: NORTH LINK, SEATTLE, TUKWILA AND SEATAC, WASHINGTON (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1999). AN - 16358185; 11992 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an electric light-rail transit system in the Central Puget Sound region (Seattle, Tukwila, and SeaTac) of west-central Washington are proposed by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit). The light-rail system, to be known as Central Link, would operate in an exclusive and semi-exclusive right-of-way between North Seattle and the city of SeaTac. The project would constitute a component of Sound Move, the 10-year program for regional high-capacity transportation. Issues addressed in the final EIS of November 1999 included those related to land use and economic development, displacement and relocation, neighborhoods and environmental justice, visual and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise and vibration, ecosystems, water quality and hydrology, energy use, geology and soils, hazardous materials, electromagnetic radiation, public services, utilities, historic and archaeologic sites, parklands, construction impacts, and cumulative impacts. Alternatives considered included a No-Build Alternative, two light-rail length alternatives, 24 rail route alternatives, 61 station options, and three alternative maintenance base sites. With 24 to 29 miles of light-rail line, the corridor is divided into six geographic segments, including: Segment A - Northgate to University District; Segment B - University District to Westlake Station; Segment C - Westlake Station to South McClellan Street; Segment D - South McClellan Street to Boeing Access, Segment E - Tukwila; and Segment F - SeaTac. For each segment, two to five route alternatives were considered. The segment alternatives would be linked to create a complete, operable light-rail system. System length alternatives would extend from the city of SeaTac, just south of Seattle-Tacoma (SeaTac) International Airport, to either Northeast Forty-Fifth Street (the University District) or Northgate in Seattle. Depending on the final decision with respect to alternative options, costs of the project, as estimated in the final EIS, ranged from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. Locally preferred alternatives were identified for all but one segment, but no decision was made within the final EIS by the federal authorities. This final supplement to the final EIS addresses alternatives related to the North Link Light Rail component of the project. North Link is a light rail extension from downtown Seattle to the University District and Northgate (Figure S-1). North Link is the northern section of the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project, a 25-mile light rail line extending from SeaTac to north Seattle. The final EIS on the Central Link project selected the original project route and stations from Northeast 45th Street in the University District of Seattle to South 200th Street in SeaTac. At that time, Sound Transit did not identify a project route for the northernmost section of the project from the University District to Northgate. As the Central Link project continued, construction risk challenges were identified in tunnel sections of the original project route from downtown Seattle to the University District, and costs exceeded forecasts. In late 2001, Sound Transit initiated new engineering and environmental planning for North Link. This 2006 final supplemental EIS focuses on recent design refinements for North Link, primarily affecting the preferred alternative. The preferred alternative analyzed here will connect to the rail system's initial segment in downtown Seattle and extend the system north to Capitol Hill, the University District, Roosevelt, and Northgate. Design changes affecting environmental impacts include the Capitol Hill Station, Brooklyn Station, Roosevelt Station, and alignments along 1-5. This final supplemental EIS supplements the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project Final EIS of November 1999 and the previous North Link draft supplemental EIS of November 2003. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would connect the region's major activity centers, including Northgate, Roosevelt, the University District, Capitol Hill, First Hill, downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley area, the City of Tukwila, and city of SeaTack, and the Sea-Tac International Airport. Seattle Center and Southcenter Mall could also be served. These areas include the state's highest employment concentrations and contain the highest transit rider ship. The system would expand transit capacity within the region's most densely populated and congested corridor, provide a practical alternative to driving on increasingly congested roadways, support comprehensive land use and transportation planning, provide environmental benefits, and improve mobility for travel-disadvantaged residents along he corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: System development would result residential and commercial displacements, affect historic and archaeologic resources and parkland and wetland, impede non-motorized access at some locations. Vegetation and associated wildlife would be destroyed in some areas. Some neighborhoods, including those with low-income and minority populations, would suffer some impacts due to the visual intrusion of rail structures into their neighborhoods and barriers to movement resulting from the presence of the structures. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. System operation would result in some impacts due to noise and vibration.

Preparation date: March 31, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - INTERSTATE 203/35 PASEO BRIDGE CORRIDOR, CLAY AND JACKSON COUNTIES, MISSOURI. AN - 16354672; 11985 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction and widening of Interstate 29/35 (I-29/35), including a new bridge over the Missouri River and roadways in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area of Clay and Jackson Counties, Missouri are proposed. The study corridor extends 4.7 miles from just north of Missouri Route 210 (M-210) at Armour Road in Clay County and continues south on I-29/35 (US 71) to the northwest corner of the central business district (CBD) freeway loop in downtown Kansas City. The existing four-lane facility within the corridor carries over 90,000 vehicles per day, resulting in extreme congestion during peak travel periods. The freeway has been identified in various planning documents as an important local and regional transportation link. The proposed project includes the north side of the CBD loop, designated as both I-35/70 and US 24/40. The Missouri River crossing (Paseo Bridge) would be rehabilitated and complemented with a new companion bridge or replaced with an entirely new structure. Six combination alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. The action alternatives would be used by the contract builder in a "Design-Build" process by which design and construction of the facility would take place simultaneously. In a typical Design-Build scheme, construction begins once 30 percent of the design is complete. However, preferred alternatives have been identified for each of three subcorridors. The preferred alternative for the North Subcorridor (M-210 to 14th Avenue) would involve widening the mainline to six through lanes, with sufficient rights-of-way to enable future widening to eight lanes and improving the interchange at the M-210/Armour Road interchange and the half interchange at 16th Avenue. For the River Crossing Subcorridor (14th Avenue to Dora Street), the preferred alternative would involve either rehabilitation of the Paseo Bridge for southbound traffic and construction of a companion bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge to carry northbound traffic or construction of new twin bridges each carrying traffic in one direction or one new single span accommodating two-way traffic. Either River Crossing Subcorridor alternative would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline and construction of braided ramps at Bedford Avenue and Levee Road and an improved interchange at Front Street. The preferred alternative for the CBD North Loop Subcorridor (Dora Street to Broadway Boulevard) would include widening of the I-29/35 mainline from Dora Street to the northeast corner of the CBD Loop, while maintaining the six-lane mainline section from the northeast corner of the CBD Loop to just west of Broadway Boulevard, though the latter section would be improved via ramp and lane modifications. All subcorridor alternatives have been organized and identified as alternatives 4 and 6 for consideration of costs and impacts. Estimated capital costs for alternatives 4 and 6 are $248 million and $258 million, respectively. Additional costs unique to bridge work are estimated at $3.5 million to $39.5 million for either alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvement of the Missouri River crossing and ancillary roads and structures would replace the existing deteriorating bridge and main road infrastructure and improve the associated interchanges, enhancing traffic safety, improving interstate system linkage across the Missouri River, and providing sufficient vehicle capacity, including capacity for trucks, within the study corridor. The reconstructed facility would improve traffic operation to accommodate travel demands across the Missouri River and improve access to the Kansas CBD and other major activity centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in full displacement of two businesses and partial displacement of four single-family units, one multi-family unit, 10 businesses, and two public/semi-public facilities. The project could have some impacts on neighborhood cohesion, but these impacts would be slight. The facility would traverse 1,900 to 2,150 feet of floodplain, displacing 1.59 to 1.88 acres of storage capacity. The project would impact the Riverfront Heritage Trail, and demolition or alteration of the Paseo Bridge would alter or eliminate a structure eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Two archaeological sites or interest would also be affected. New construction across the Missouri River would mar visual aesthetics in the area somewhat. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards at 106 sensitive noise receptors within the corridor. Construction workers would encounter one or two hazardous waste sites.

Preparation date: March 29, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SECTION 206 - ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION, DENTS RUN WATERSHED, ELK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. AN - 16369739; 11984 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a ecosystem restoration project within the Dents Run watershed in the Benzette Township of Elk County, Pennsylvania is proposed. The 25-square-mile study area is located 12 miles southeast of the city of St. Mary's and 23 miles north of Clearfield. Dents Run is a tributary of the Bennett Branch of Sinnemahoning Creek within the Susquehana River basin. Coal mining within the watershed began in the late 1800's and continued through the 1980's. The majority of the abandoned mine sites remain as they were when mining ceased. Unvegetated spoil piles and unreclaimed high walls characterize these sites. Terrestrial habitat is severely degraded due to the lack of vegetation and scarred landscape, and the watershed is affected by acid mine drainage (AMD). Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the recommended alternative (Alternative 4), the project would chiefly involve AMD abatement measures at six of the eight problem areas. Within the six areas, approximately 250 acres would be reclaimed. Twelve successive alkalinity-producing systems, covering a total of 16 acres would be developed, as would over 6,200 linear feet of open limestone channel. In addition to passive treatment systems, nearly 1.0 million cubic yards of mine spoil would be regraded, with limestone added in the backfill before revegetation. Surface drainage would be provided to reduce infiltration into the mine spoil. Where subsurface mining occurred, wet seals would be created at the mine portals to raise the water levels within the mines and, thereby, reduce oxygen levels and future AMD generation. Approximately 500,000 tons of an estimated 1.7 million tons of limestone within the watershed would be mined to provide the source of neutralization for the passive treatment systems included in the backfilling/reclamation efforts. The remaining 1.2 million tons of limestone would be mined and purchased by the non-federal sponsor, which would use the limestone to address other AMD problems within the Bennett Branch watershed. Estimated cost of the recommended alternative is $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat conditions, water quality, watershed aesthetics, and recreational fishing, elk viewing, and other wildlife observation opportunities in the area. AMD-related conditions would improve along five miles of currently "dead" stream, providing suitable habitat for brook trout and other species. Stream restoration would reconnect 11 miles of healthy upstream habitat and result in 24 miles of continuous suitable aquatic habitat throughout the watershed. The existing metals deposition in Dents Run would be flushed out of the watershed within two years. Regrading would eliminate safety hazards and allow vegetation to be restored to the affected 250 acres. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 0.75 acre of wetland would be affected by unavoidably high AMD levels, and 63 acres of non-contiguous and sparse scrub forest and 42 acres of mature forest would be removed during grading and construction activities. Nesting for migratory birds could become an issue.

Preparation date: March 28, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FLOOD CONTROL, MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES: ST. JOHNS BAYOU AND NEW MADRID FLOODWAY PROJECT, MISSOURI, FIRST PHASE (REVISED SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1993 AND TO THE FINAL SUPPLEMENT OF JUNE 2002). AN - 36340027; 11983 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project to reduce damages resulting from flooding of St. Johns Bayou and the New Madrid Floodway in New Madrid, Mississippi, and Scott counties, Missouri is proposed. The study area extends from northeast of East Prairie southward to New Madrid. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the draft supplement of June 2002 to the final EIS of June 1985. The first phase of the project would involve channel enlargements and installation of a 1,000-cubic-foot-per-second (cfs) pumping station for the St. Johns Bayou. The New Madrid floodway project would involve closure of the 1,500-foot gap in the Mississippi River Levee with a 1,500-cfs pumping station and a gravity outlet in the closure. Under the preferred alternative (Alternative 3), which is designed to minimize project impacts, the project would involve reducing he width of channel work in St. Johns Bayou from 200 feet (two-sided excavation) to 120 feet (one-sided excavation); changing work to the right descending bank along a portion of St. James Ditch to avoid the state-listed endangered golden top minnow. In addition, traverse dikes would be constructed in the lower four miles of St. Johns Bayou, conservation easements would be placed along all improved channels and allowed to revegetate to bottomland hardwoods. Gate operations would be adjusted to allow fish passage between the river and the two basins. At the time for the draft supplement, the cost of the preferred alternative was estimated at $65.1 million. This revised drift supplement addresses concerns regarding the project and the adequacy of mitigation stipulations. These concerns include, inter alia, consideration of mitigation requirements for fish and waterfowl resources, hypotoxia, farmed wetlands, and cost-benefit ratio calculations. There is no change to the flood damage reduction features recommended in the 2002 supplemental EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing flood control within the St. Johns Bayou basin and the New Madrid Floodway, the project would eliminate the physical and economic barriers created by frequent flooding in East Prairie and the surrounding area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Structural measures would result in loss of natural spring over bank flooding and fish access by severing the New Madrid Floodway from the Mississippi River. The duration and frequency of Mississippi River backwater and over bank flooding passing through the 1,500-foot levee gap on approximately 36,000 acres of wetlands, 76 percent of which are agricultural lands, would be reduced. Mitigation of this impact would be achieved through the purchase of 9,557 acres of frequently flooded agricultural land in fee title from willing sellers and planting it in bottomland hardwoods. The mitigation land would most likely be purchased outside of the St. Johns Bayou Basin and New Madrid Floodway to ensure unimpeded access for the fishery resource. Additionally, flood easements would be purchased on 765 acres of herbaceous land. Structural measures would displace floodplain land, displacing wetland and associated habitat, and the project would have significant adverse impacts on a diverse mussel community unique to southeastern Missouri. Loss of fish forage and/or habitat would affect three endangered species, namely, the interior least tern, the pallid sturgeon, and the bald eagle.

AN - 16366485; 11989 AB - PURPOSE: The upgrading of US 90 to a four-lane controlled access freeway meeting interstate standards from Wax Lake Outlet to Berwick in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana is proposed. US 90 is an integral component of the federal highway network, serving as an element in the National Highway System. US 90 serves an important role in linking local and regional transportation networks. The portion of US 90 in the project area, which was designed and constructed as an urban highway, does not provide the geometry or infrastructure to accommodate local and regional transportation demand adequately, and future traffic increase will further degrade transportation along this stretch of the highway. The upgraded highway would be a segment of Interstate 49 (I-49) South that would extend from Wax Lake Outlet to the approach to the bridge over the Lower Atchafalaya River and an intersection with Louisiana (LA) 182 in the town of Berwick, a distance of 9.3 miles. The improvements would occur along the existing alignment. Depending on the location, frontage roads would be provided utilizing either one-way or two-way road systems. A new two-lane bridge from be provided across Wax Lake Outlet and a ramp overpass would connect Catherine Street with Waveland Drive. Proceeding west to east, interchanges would be provided with LA 183 Access Road East, Red Cypress Road, Tiffany Street/Liparo Street. Southwest Boulevard, and Berwick South Road/Thorguson Road. Depending on the routing alternative for approximately one-third of the alignment, cost of the project is estimated at $269 million or $270 million in 2001 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The upgraded facility would provide a boost to planning to implement major transportation system linkage improvements for a substantial portion of the state's population and economy, consistent with federal, state, and local planning efforts. A critical corridor for hurricane evacuation would be improved. Safety and efficiency on US 90 would be enhanced significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of 13.2 acres of newly acquired rights-of-way would involve displacement of a parcel currently partially occupied by a fenced equipment storage yard operated by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. In addition, the project would displace 18.74 acres of wetlands, including 4.43 acres of vegetated wet ditches, 9,62 acres for forested wetlands, and 4.69 acres of scrub/shrub wetlands. Traffic-generated noise levels in the year 2030 would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 174 residences. The project would affect Idlewild Plantation House, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

AN - 36341862; 11977 AB - PURPOSE: The development, operation, and reclamation of a surface bituminous coal mine (Spruce No. 1 Mine) in Logal County, West Virginia are proposed. The mine site lies two miles northeast of the community of Blair. Hobet Mining, Inc., a subsidiary of Arch Coal, Inc. and the successful applicant for the necessary federal mining permit, has turned the mine over to its subsidiary, Mingo Logan Coal Company. Mining facilities would include eight valley fills, mine pits, access and haul roads, six drainage control structures (ponds), four erosion protection zones, office and warehouse space, coal truck dump and transfer facility, and an extension of an existing electrical transmission line. The project would be designed for mountaintop mining and incidental contour, auger, high wall/thin-seam mining of multiple coal seams. Mingo Logan controls the lands to be mined through lease agreements with the surface and mineral estate owners within the project area. In addition to the applicant's proposal, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and one other action alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The mining operation would provide a substantial source of coal for use in electrical generators in the eastern United States, helping to provide a reliable source of electrical power for the region and to reduce the nation's dependency on foreign sources of energy. The mine would employ 218 workers and retain 10 contract workers during the construction and operation phases. An additional 25 mining jobs would be created during operation of the project. The mine would provide significant revenue to the state and county governments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Mining and ancillary activities would disturb 2,278 acres of vegetated land currently providing wildlife habitat over the 15-year life of the mine. Of this total disturbance area, 500 acres would be disturbed for surface mining at any one time, based on sequential backfilling and concurrent reclamation of the mined areas. Approximately 10,630 linear feet (1.83 acres) of ephemeral stream channels, 36,184 linear feet (5.7 acres) of intermittent stream channels, and 0.12 acre of emergent wetland would be permanently impacted during the life of the mine. In addition, 6,307 linear feet (1.04 acre) of intermittent stream and 82 linear feet (0.19 acre) of perennial stream would be temporarily impounded with sediment-laden water in phases as mining progresses. Approximately 8.95 acres of waters of the United States would be affected. The reduction or loss of available water in the area would affect both terrestrial and aquatic habitat. The mine could impact habitat for the cerulean warbler, eastern wood rat, hellbender, southeastern big-eared bat, Diana fritillary butterfly butter net, and Gray's saxifrage, all of which are federally protected species. The project would result in direct disturbance to 10 archaeological sites and three traditional residences, but no cultural resource has been found to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Noise from the mining would slightly exceed federal standards in the vicinity of sensitive receptors in the study area.

AN - 36339820; 11974 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of a new office complex at the 3,221-acre Canaan Valley Institute (CVI) Complex near Davis, West Virginia is proposed. CVI undertakes research and professional and public education focusing on ecological and environmental issues, particularly with respect to ecological restoration. Existing CVI offices do not provide sufficient space or facilities to address the mission of the organization. The proposed facility development would be funded by a grant from the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration. Facilities to be provided include offices, classrooms, laboratories, a 250-seat auditorium, parking facilities, outdoor classrooms, and interpretive areas. As part of the project, an access road would be constructed leading from a major highway to the complex. The facility would be a "zero-discharge" installation, incorporating composting and living machine/drip irrigation systems to treat solid and liquid wastes. In addition to the No-Build Alternative, this final EIS addresses three facilities expansion site alternatives and seven access road routing alternatives. Facility Site 1 (Rocky Point) lies on the peak of Rocky Point at an elevation of 3,600 feet. A flat area at the peak of the mountain would provide adequate space for the location of the facility proposed. Facility Site 2 (Bearden Know) lies on the peak of Bearden Knob at an elevation of 3,700 feet. The flat area at the peak is much smaller than the area provided at sites 1 and 2. Facility Site 3 (Yellow Creek), which is identified as the preferred alternative, lies at an elevation of 3,200 feet near the West Virginia (WV) 93 crossing of Beaver Creek; once again the topography would provide an adequate space for the proposed facility. The preferred access road routing alternative routing alternative (Alternative G) would provide access from the northeast off WV 93. The road would begin approximately 1,000 feet northeast of the WV 93 bridge over Beaver Creek and extend northeast of a large wetland adjacent to Beaver Creek and southeast to the access to the Yellow Creek Site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide modern office, teaching, and research facilities for a growing number of Canaan Valley Institute employees and researchers; provide students and researchers with a large tract of terrestrial and aquatic habitat for outdoor classrooms and research; and provide a unique experience for visitors with access to outdoor classrooms. Outdoor classrooms would provide a unique experience for visitors with access to outdoor classrooms. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The physical footprint of the complex would displace four acres of natural area, while the access road would disturb another five to 20 acres. Habitat for Indiana bat would decline by as much as 18.2 acres and research areas would suffer up to 12.3 acres of long-term impacts. From 6.9 to 41.7 acres of terrestrial habitat would be lost.

Preparation date: March 23, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - DENVER UNION STATION PROJECT, DENVER, COLORADO. AN - 36340551; 11960 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements at Denver Union Station (DUS) in lower downtown Denver, Colorado is proposed. Various planning studies have shown that population and employment levels in the metropolitan Denver area are likely to increase approximately 50 percent by 2030. In response to this anticipated growth, the region has identified several transportation mode solutions such as bus rapid transit, light rail, passenger rail, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes to help relieve the expected congestion, improve air quality, and offer additional transportation options to the public. The proposed action (Vision Plan Alternative) would represent the full build-out of the transportation improvements identified in the Denver Union Station Master Plan (September 2004). Phase I of the Vision Plan Alternative, which has been funded, would include construction of a below-grade light rail station consisting of three tracks and platforms, enhanced at-grade passenger rail services, relocation of the existing Sixteenth Street Mall Shuttle turnaround, and related site improvements. A boarding plaza would be provided for bus service on the west side of the DUS. The full build-out would facilitate the accommodation of a large number of public and private transportation service providers, transportation-related facilities, and planned passenger services. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would enhance the functioning of DUS as a multimodal transportation center serving the metropolitan Denver region and the state of Colorado. Improving DUS would bring together the various modes of transportation planned for the region into one place, providing an efficient and convenient access to and from the downtown Denver area. Opportunities for joint economic development in the mixed-use facility and the surrounding area would be provided. The existing historic character of DUS and its environs would be rehabilitated and restored. Appropriate urban design and neighborhood cohesiveness would be promoted. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Station developments would partially displace four properties within 0.5 acre of rights-of-way. Additional facilities at DUS would alter the historically significant visual appearance of the station and its environs somewhat. Noise levels in areas adjacent to the passenger rail tracks and bus lanes would exceed federal standards. Subsurface features would likely require permanent dewatering activities, potentially affecting recharge and depth of the groundwater aquifer. An estimated 47 utilities would be affected by the Vision Plan Alternative, while Phase I activities would affect 43 such facilities.

Preparation date: March 15, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - RIVER VALLEY INTERMODAL FACILITIES, POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS. AN - 16366367; 11952 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of an intermodal facility for the city of Russellvile and the Arkansas River Valley (ARV) region on an 800-acre site in and on the banks of the Arkansas River in Pope County Arkansas is proposed. The River Valley Regional Intermodal Facilities Authority, the sponsoring agency, wishes to promote economic development and job creation in the ARV by serving existing industry and providing services necessary to attract new business and industry to the area. The specific mechanism by which the authority proposes to promote economic development in the area is to construct and operate a multi-modal transportation complex in the ARV, which includes Conway, Johnson, Logan, Perry, Pope, and Yell counties. The intermodal facilities would be located in the River valley with access to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System via a slack water harbor on the Arkansas River with dockside loading and unloading capabilities. The facility would provide a connection to the Tulsa Port of Catoosa in eastern Oklahoma via the Arkansas and Verdigris rivers and would provide a connection to the Mississippi River, thus allowing ready access to the U.S. inland waterway system. Access to the national railroad grid would be provided through the Class In Union Pacific Railroad and/or though the Class III short line Dardanelle Russellville Railroad. The intermodal facilities would also include local roadway access to Interstate 40. Ancillary services at the facility would include on-site provisions for rail/truck transfers, truck/water transfers, rail/water transfers, freight tracking, a foreign trade subzone, warehousing, distribution, consolidation, just-in-time inventory, and material storage capabilities. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the slack water harbor that resulting in a finding of no significant adverse impacts; however, the EA did not include the proposed intermodal facilities. In 2002, an EA was developed for the intermodal facilities, but it was determined that an EIS with a broader scope, addressing the slack water harbor, related infrastructure, and all other necessary components comprising intermodal facilities was required. Two viable Alternative intermodal facility sites and a No Action Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. Capital cost of the proposed intermodal complex is estimated at approximately $10 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed complex would provide intermodal access in a region characterized by a strong manufacturing orientation, with a higher percentage of the workforce in manufacturing jobs than the national average, strong regional educational facilities, and a history of public support for economic development. Persons educated at Arkansas Tech University, the University of Arkansas (Morrilton), and the Vo-Tech School at Russellville High School, all located in or near the ARV, would provide a steady flow of highly trained workers for the intermodal facility and direct and indirect ancillary services related to the functioning of the intermodal facility. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development of the 800-acre intermodal facility site and ancillary rail, road, and maritime connections would displace River, River bottom, wetlands, and upland habitat, as well as farmland and forested land. Depending on the action alternative selected, the project would displace six to eight residences as well as one business and a part of another commercial site.

Preparation date: March 9, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHWESTERN FLORIDA PROJECT: BROWARD COUNTY WATER PRESERVE AREAS. AN - 16367210; 11948 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an integrated project to address ecological problems in the Everglades and associated areas of Broward County, Florida is proposed. The project would support a new authorization for the Broward County Water Preserve Areas (WPAs). The Broward County section of the Everglades is affected by discharges of excess runoff from developed areas in west Broward County and other hydrological problems. These problems contribute to the loss of ecosystem function due to the inappropriate timing and volumes of flood control discharges to the Everglades, excessive nutrient loading to Everglades marsh communities resulting in an undesirable shift in vegetative cover and loss of ecosystem function, excessive seepage of water out of the Everglades to developed areas in western Broward County resulting in loss of ecosystem function, and insufficient quantities of water available in the regional water management system during dry periods resulting in failure to meet municipal, agricultural, and environmental water supply demands. Nine alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. In addition to supporting a new authorization for the Broward County Water Preserve Areas in accordance with the requirements of Section 601(d) of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000. The plan would also include deauthorization of the Water Conservation Areas 3A/3B Levee Seepage Management Project, the C-11 Impoundment and Storm Water Conservation Area Project, and the C-9 Impoundment and Storm Water Treatment Area Project, which were initially authorized under Section 601(b)(2)(C)(iv) - (vi) of the WRDO 2000 at costs of $100.3 million, $124.8 million, and $89.1 million, respectively. The South Florida Water Management District would be the non-federal cost-sharing partner for the project and would be responsible for the operation and maintenance of facilities when the project was completed. Estimated cost of the tentatively selected plan is $520.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The selected plan, which is the most cost-effective of the feasible plans under consideration, would improve fish and wildlife habitat within the Everglades, including habitat for threatened and endangered species, such as the Everglades snail kite. As importantly, the plan would ensure a timely and reliable supply of high-quality potable water for domestic, municipal, and industrial consumption in the Broward County area. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Embankments constructed and canals excavated under the selected pan would displace wetland and upland wildlife habitat as well as free-flowing fish habitat, though these impacts would be offset by the gain in habitat quality in the Everglades and within the WPA.

AN - 16359235; 11950 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of approximately 17 miles of Wisconsin Route 83 (WIS 83) from County Route NN at Mukwonago to WIS 16 at Hartland in central Waukesha County, Wisconsin is proposed. WIS 83 is an important north-south arterial highway serving local and regional traffic in the City of Delafield; the towns of Mukwonago, Genesee, Delafield, and Merton; the villages of Mukwonago, North Prairie, Wales, Hartland, and Chehequa; and unincorporated Genesee Depot. The corridor is transitioning to urban/suburban development and traffic is expected to increase by 60 percent or more by 2026. Safety concerns include restricted sight distances at several points, limited passing opportunities, inadequate safety clear zones, and numerous access points that contribute to poor traffic operations. Nearly the entire length of WIS 83 is characterized by crash rates that exceed the statewide average for similar highways. In addition to a No-Build Alternative, build alternatives were developed for seven sections along the study corridor. The preferred Alternative identified in this final EIS would widen existing WIS 83 to a four-lane facility, excepting in the Genesee Depot area from County Road DE/E and from WIS 16 to Chapel Ridge Road, where the existing two-lane roadway would be reconstructed to modern design standards. Interchange and bridge construction/reconstruction would be provided as appropriate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The facility would provide additional transportation capacity within the corridor, supporting anticipated development and regional and county transportation system plans. Safety within the corridor would improve significantly. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: New Rights-of-way requirements could result in the displacement of residences and businesses, severance of privately owned parcels, loss of wetlands, and damage or displacement of historic resource sites. Up to three new stream crossings could be required.

AN - 16366454; 11947 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a Certificate of Pubic Convenience and Necessity for the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) deepwater port and associated anchorages in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana is proposed the port facility proposed by the applicant, Freeport-MoRan Energy LLC, would lie approximately 16 miles southeast of the coast of Louisiana in Outer Continental Shelf Block MP 299, in water depth of 210 feet. A gas pipeline junction platform, also part of the port, would be located 40 miles off the Mississippi coast in MP 1164. The affected shoreline would include Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The port, capable of unloading LNG carriers of up to 160,000 cubic meters capacity, would be designed to accommodate a nominal capacity of 7.0 million metric tons of LNG (the equivalent of 350 billion cubic feet) per year. This annual LNG throughput would equate to a nominal vaporization capacity of 1.0 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd). The vaporization facilities would provide for a peak capacity of 1.6 bcfd to allow additional supply during peak periods of demand. Storage facilities for LNG would include six tanks having a combined capacity of 145,000 cubic meters. In addition, three salt caverns would be available for temporary storage of 27.9 billion standard cubic feet. The facility would be supported by six natural gas and gas liquid pipelines, extending a total of 192 miles. Five natural gas takeaway pipeline would connect the port with existing gas distribution pipelines. Four natural gas pipelines would terminate offshore, and one pipeline would terminate onshore near Coden, Alabama. The natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline would connect the port to a fractionating facility near Venice, Louisiana, where the gas liquids would be separated for sale. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this final EIS addresses alternatives for port siting, pipeline routes, LNG revaporization technology, and fabrication yard sites. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port would help meet the existing and estimated regional and national demand for natural gas supplies by increasing access to sources worldwide. Construction and operation, respectively would increase short-term and long-term employment rolls. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Routine offshore operations would degrade ambient water and air quality and increase noise levels in the area, and construction activities, particularly the laying of pipeline, would be particularly detrimental to water quality over the short-term. Federally protected sea turtles, marine mammals, fish, and migratory birds would be negatively affected. Localized populations of fish species would be impacted, but these impacts would not have larger population effects. Construction of the Alabama pipeline route alternatives would result in long-term loss of vegetation, including wildlife habitat, as well as disproportionately affecting minority and low-income residents. Significant archaeological resources could be lost during the construction phase, though an archaeological survey has made avoidance of any crucial resources likely. Creation of a 5-mile safety zone in the vicinity of the port terminal would result in limited displacement of recreational and commercial fishing LEGAL MANDATES: Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (22 U.S.C. 1501-1524), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717 f(c)), and River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.).

Preparation date: March 3, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - US 59 -- AMELIA EARHART MEMORIAL BRIDGE OVER THE MISSOURI RIVER, ATCHISON, KANSAS TO US 59/STATE ROUTE 45 INTERSECTION IN BUCHANAN COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 16366325; 11943 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the two-lane Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge with a four-lane structure across the Missouri River in the vicinity of Atchison, Kansas is proposed to connect Atchison with Buchanan County, Missouri. The 4.2-mile study corridor extends from Atchison to the US 59/Route 45 intersection in Missouri. The existing bridge connects US 59, a four-lane urban arterial adjacent to downtown Atchison to a two-lane rural arterial section of US 59 in Buchanan County, just northwest of Winthrop. The existing crossing does not meet current design criteria for width and load capacity and requires costly maintenance measures. A scour hole has developed north of the center bridge pier. Project traffic volumes warrant a four-lane crossing. Five alternatives were considered preliminarily, including a No-Build Alternative, a transportation systems alternative, a mass transit Alternative, upgrading of the existing bridge, and the a new build Alternative, which includes eight options, including construction of a new two-lane bridge with replacement or rehabilitation of the existing bridge and construction of a new four-lane bridge upstream or downstream of the existing bridge. Two build alternatives and the No-Build Alternative are considered in detail in this draft EIS. Build alternatives under detailed consideration include construction of a new two-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing bridge (Alternative 4H Rehabilitation) and retention of the rehabilitated two-lane bridge and replacement of the existing bridge with a four-lane bridge immediately downstream of the existing structure (Alternative 4H Replacement). Estimated costs of alternatives 4H Rehabilitation and 4H Replacement $98 million and $88 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Either build Alternative would provide a structurally sound, operationally efficient, economically feasible, and safe Missouri River crossing. The bridge or bridges would accommodate economically sustainable future development within the area and the region. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 4H Rehabilitation Alternative would result in the retention of a bridge that would be difficult to replace in the future, and the potential for barge impacts would be high. Both build alternatives would displace a section of floodplain over 5,300 feet wide. Rights-of-way requirements would displace 31.8 to 35.8 acres of farmland, 30.5 to 32.2 acres of prime farmland, two to three acres of Atchison Casting, eight residences, eight to 11 commercial units, 18 acres of wetlands, 83.2 to 88.7 acres of floodplain, 2.1 acres of forest, and habitat for two federally protected species. Demolition of the bridge under the Replacement Alternative would result in the loss of a historically significant structure, and the Alternative would affect six other potentially significant structures. The Rehabilitation Alternative would affect five potentially significant structures. Construction workers would encounter two or three hazardous materials storage tanks.

The collapse feature is a plug-type, approximately 3 meters in diameter, 2 meters deep, and located approximately 30 meters east from the edge of the highway. An older collapse feature, located between the recent collapse and the highway, is in the same general vicinity and is as close as 5 meters from the edge of the highway. The only current information available on the extent and location of the shallow mine excavations are subsurface maps and exploration boreholes. Since the subsurface maps were last updated, other subsurface mining excavations may have occurred that could pose an additional hazard to the highway. Surveys utilizing InSAR and tripod-mounted LIDAR were utilized to determine if subsidence prior to collapse could be observed and to monitor changes in the collapse feature. Shallow boreholes were drilled and SONAR data collected to determine the location, extent, and area of the subsurface mining excavations. This approach provided useful information and allowed the creation of subsurface profiles that delineated the mines subsurface extent and its structural integrity in the proximity of the highway.

This influence can lead to an incorrect assessment of soil strength/resistance for such purposes as liquefaction triggering analysis. For an accurate measurement of tip and sleeve resistance, unbiased by overburden stress, it is essential to normalize these index measurements appropriately. Presented herein is a comprehensive study reviewing all aspects of CPT normalization. A result of this study is a variable normalization procedure for the CPT that is based on both empirical results and theoretical analysis. This paper presents these results in the form of an improved normalization scheme and discusses its application in practice.

Parallel studies with lead as a reference toxicant also were conducted. Although sodium tungstate (Na (sub 2) WO (sub 4) ) was less acutely toxic than lead nitrate (Pb(NO (sub 3) ) (sub 2) ) in 14-d spiked field soil acute toxicity assays (lethal concentrations for 50% of organisms: W, 6,250 mg/kg; Pb, 2,490 mg/kg), tungstate completely inhibited reproduction in 28- and 56-d assays at all tested tungsten concentrations (> or =704 mg/kg). By comparison, cocoon production was not significantly reduced for lead concentrations until concentrations reached 766 mg/kg, and cocoon production was still observed at the highest concentration tested (1,650 mg/kg). These data indicate that tungsten is a reproductive toxicant for earthworms and that, by comparison, its sublethal toxicity is greater than that of lead. Toxicity data for other soil invertebrate species are required to fully establish benchmark levels/ecological soil screening levels for tungsten.

To examine the effect of small amounts of clay-sized particles in bed pore water on the critical shear stress tau (sub c) for the erosion of sand grains, flume experiments were carried out on the erosion of quartz sand beds impregnated with clay particles. Starting with no clay, as the clay mass fraction @j was increased, tau (sub c) was found to decrease below the value for pure sand tau (sub co) at psi = psi (sub m) , then reverted to tau (sub co) at psi = psi (sub r) and continued to increase above tau (sub co) as psi was increased further. Post-experimental analysis suggests that psi (sub r) is the pore space-filling fine sediment fraction above which sand erosion is significantly influenced by clay. In the range of psi > or = psi (sub m) , slider-bearing type lubrication due to the viscosity of the clay-laden interstitial fluid appears to govern the dependence of tau (sub c) on @j, mimicking Petroff's law of thick-film lubrication. When psi < psi (sub m) , as psi decreases lubrication is increasingly curtailed by grain asperities, and tau (sub c) reverts ultimately to tau (sub co) at psi = 0. An equation relating tau (sub c) to psi is proposed in analogy with the quasi-hydrodynamic Stribeck function for lubrication. The observed effect of clay particles appears to be significant enough to require its consideration in coastal and estuarine sediment transport modeling. It may also be a factor in the estimation of bed stability when biological activity in the benthic boundary layer introduces fine particles in clean sand beds.

One such study is designed to supply information concerning the most cost-effective removal of reinforced concrete ammunition bunkers built on Army installations in the 1950s. Potentially, thousands of tons of concrete can be recycled from these bunkers and made into usable aggregate for various applications instead of diverting these materials to landfills. This study compared three demolition methods: traditional demolition, diamond wire cutting, and harmonic delamination (explosive demolition). Each method was evaluated using several criteria, such as cost-effectiveness per ton, handling of material remaining after demolition, safety, required personnel, and environmental considerations. For the study, a 4,000 square foot (ft super(2)) steel reinforced concrete ammunition bunker was used as the basis for comparison. The comparative information gathered from this study will be used to compile a best-practices model, which could be applied during the removal of the large number of bunkers in existence nationwide. The findings from this project will also guide future demonstration/validation activities in which all three demolition methods will be evaluated at one common site.

AN - 16359537; 11934 AB - PURPOSE: The replacement of the Big Bear Lake Bridge (Bridge No. 54-0310) and implementation of associated road improvements near Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, California is proposed. The existing two-lane bridge, located atop the Big Bear Dam one mile west of the city of Big Bear Lake, is deteriorating and functionally obsolete. In addition, the State transportation authorities has determined that a third lane is required to improve traffic channelization at the State Route(SR) 18/38 intersection. After screening five preliminary action alternatives, two action alternatives were and a No Action Alternative retained for detailed consideration in this revision of the draft EIS of August 2003. Action Alternative 4 would involve construction of a new three-lane bridge across Big Bear Lake, while Action Alternative 5 would involve construction of a new bridge across Bear Canyon/Bear Creek. Both alternatives would include realignment and widening of the bridge and approach roadways, signalization of the intersection of SR 18 and SR 38, and demolition of the existing bridge. Costs of alternatives 4 and 5 are $19 million, $14.3 million and $24.2 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Replacing the existing bridge, which is characterized by inadequate capacity and structural deficiencies, would improve the safety and operational efficiency of the crossing. Moreover, demolition of the existing bridge would allow the Big Bear Municipal Water District to compete their planned spillway and outlet works improvements on the Big Bear Dam. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Alternative 4 would displace 0.007 acre of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.. Floodplain land would be traversed, but impacts on flood levels would be insignificant. Two properties eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected due to alteration of visual aesthetics, and 0.37 to 0.47 acre of Big Be Lake shoreline and a total of one to 2.5 acres of recreational lands, including the lake and shoreline, would be displaced. Habitat for the federally protected South Rubber Boa and bald eagle would be affected by the loss of four to 11 perch trees.

Preparation date: February 23, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SOUTH EXTENSION OF THE COASTAL TRAIL, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. AN - 16369622; 11920 AB - PURPOSE: The extension of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, a National Recreation Trail, approximately 14 miles from its terminus at Kincaid Park southeast to Potter Weight Station in the vicinity of Anchorage, Alaska is proposed. The Potter Weigh Station is at the southern extent of the urbanized Anchorage Bowl. Adopted municipal planning documents include a long-range goal of a regional trail spanning 7 miles from the municipality's southern boundary to its northern boundary. The trail extension would resemble the existing trail, which is typically 10 feet wide, paved with asphalt, flanked by two-food shoulders, and intended to serve foot traffic, bicyclists, in-line skaters, and cross-country skiers. Six build alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The Orange Modified Alternative, which is the preferred Alternative, would climb through the forest to the coastal bluff in Kincaid Park, make a wide arc around the Kincaid motocross area, parallel the top of the coastal bluff, travel along the south side of West Dimond Boulevard, turn to the south at Sand Lake Road, traverse the bluff face to a point near Jade Street, follow the bluff top to Campbell Creek, cross Campbell Creek estuary on pilings to the top of the low bluff east of Campbell Creek, descend the bluff face, continue along the base of the bluff to Bayshore Creek, and then turn east to an existing trail on the west side of Southport Drive, where it would split. At the split, an unpaved trail would run from Bayshore Creek along the coastal bluff to the Peat Disposal Peninsula at Carr-Gottstein Park (proposed), rejoin the main paved trail in a southward and eastward direction along Southport Drive and Klatt Road on an existing trail to Juniper Street, pass Pioneer Park and Klatt Elementary School, run along the south side of Woo Boulevard and along Skyway Drive, follow The undeveloped Thomasson rights-of-way to Johns Park, wind southeast through Johns Park to the coastal bluff, follow the bluff face on pilings to a location south of Johns Road, descend the bluff face, enter Oceanview Bluff Park, parallel Oceanview Drive seaward of the coastal bluff, climb the Bluff to run along the west side of the Alaska Railroad, bridge over the Alaska Railroad, descend to a proposed tunnel under the New Seward Highway, and follow the highway south along the western edge of Potter Marsh to Potter Weigh Station. The estimated costs of construction and rights-of-way acquisition are estimated at $34.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would represent a component of the planned regional trail system within the Municipality of Anchorage and, by itself, provide independent utility connection by connecting South Anchorage neighborhoods, Potter Marsh, Chugach State Park, Kincaid Park, and other parks and facilities in the study area. The facility would meet the needs of a broad spectrum of trail users during all seasons. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trail construction would displace vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, including preferred bird habitat, and trail use would disturb wildlife. Parkland and open space would be lost to trail use. The trail would cross roadways at-grade at a number of locations, presenting safety hazards to users, particularly children. Additional safety hazards would be presented due to the proximity of some stretches of the trail to areas frequented by hunters. Approximately 19 acre of wetland would be filled. Four salmon streams would be traversed and up to 9.5 acres of possible essential fish habitat would be lost. Two bald eagle nests would lie within close proximity to the trail. Six historic sites could be affected.

Additional water storage capacity is needed in the study area to reverse declines in the ecological function and productivity of Lake Okeechobee and the associated estuaries of the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie Canal. Large swings between low and high stages in the Lake, resulting in alternate inundation and drying of the littoral zone and ecologically damaging releases of freshwater into the northern estuaries. The EEA is expected to remain predominately agricultural for the foreseeable future, with Lake Okeechobee being the only agricultural storage repository. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this revision of the draft EIS of September 2005. The central feature of the preferred Alternative (Alternative 4) would consist of an 31,000-acre aboveground reservoir, with a storage capacity of 360,000 acre-feet in two cells at the 12-foot normal pool level, located on lands previously acquired for restoration activities in the Everglades ecosystem. The reservoir would provide for pumped water storage from Lake Okeechobee and the EEA basin via the Miami Canal, North New River Canal, and Bolles and Cross Canals and redistribution of water through improvements to these canals. Levees enclosing the reservoir cells would be 23 feet high to accommodate extreme rainfall and wind events. The levees would have a top width of 12 feet and incorporate underground cutoff walls to provide stability and prevent excessive seepage into adjoining areas. Additional features would include improvements to pump stations G-372 and G-370, installation of two new pump stations, and excavation of new C-601 and C-602 borrow/seepage canals for the two reservoir cells. Numerous bridge relocations would be required. Initial cost of the project, to be implemented over 3.5 years, is estimated at $912.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would contribute to restoration of the Everglades by improving the quality, quantity, timing, and distribution of water within the greater Everglades. The reservoir would capture and store water now retained in Lake Okeechobee for dry-season agricultural use, providing an Alternative source for this water and, thereby, reducing stresses on the Lake's littoral zone, which in some years is inundated by higher lake stages. The facility would also free some Lake water for environmental restoration, while reducing raining season releases from the EEA to Lake Okeechobee via back pumping. As the reservoir would receive regulatory releases from Lake Okeechobee, it would also benefit the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries and water conservation areas (WCAs), resulting in fewer and less intense pulsed discharges offering the opportunity of using it to receive water from the Lake. The WCAs would also receive water of improved quality and timing. Benefit analysis indicated that the project would improve both the ridge and slough and tree island habitats in the greater Everglades. Local benefits would include increased areas of wetlands in the reservoir seepage buffer, littoral zones on reservoir delivery canals, and terrestrial habitat on levees. Flood damage reduction, while not a primary project objective, would be attained by increasing conveyance capacity and by providing storage capacity in the surface impoundments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in the loss of extensive upland habitat and remnant wetlands within the project footprint, displacement of farms and the associated agricultural productivity, displacement of populations, and endangered species as well as visual aesthetics. The selected Alternative would affect three farm parcels covering 31,500 acres, displace up to 20 resident non-owners LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601), and Water Resources Development Act of 2000.

The basic ingestion, inhalation, and direct gamma intake equations used by RESRAD, Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS), and the Soil Screening Guidance for Radionuclides (SSG) are similar and can produce similar results, but there are some notable differences. Of particular interest is the fact that RESRAD incorporates sophisticated environmental transport models. Associated environmental parameters allow risk assessors to consider, among other variables, the size (i.e., surface area) of the contaminated zone, a variable not typically addressed quantitatively under the RAGS/SSG paradigm. Considering the similarities between basic RESRAD, RAGS, and SSG intake equations and given the broad acceptance of RESRAD, it stands to reason that RESRAD-derived area factors may be used to supplement RAGS/SSG human health risk calculations. This would allow risk assessors to retrofit existing results or otherwise modify standard RAGS/SSG equations for use in site closeout planning under the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM), given a key component of the MARSSIM method is the consideration of small areas of elevated activity or 'hot spots' through the use of area factors.

The Lake of Egypt Water District (LEWD), a rural area located south of Marion, has in principle an agreement with Marion to purchase up to three million gallons of water if a new water supply source is developed. The current water source, Marion City Lake located south of the city limits on Limb Creek, lacks the capacity to meet anticipated demands; its supply is routinely supplemented by pipeline from Herrin Lake, which also has a limited capacity. In addition, significant treatment is required to ensure that the water from the Marion City Lake meets federal standards. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of July 1995. Under the proposed action, the reservoir would be created on Sugar Creek; the dam would be located one mile south of the community of Creal Springs and 10 miles southeast of Marion. The lake would have a dependable yield of 8.0 million gallons per day; it would require a 12.2-mile-long pipeline to connect to the water treatment in Marion. For much of its length, this pipeline would follow an abandoned railroad right-of-way; 14 stream crossings would be necessary. An additional eight miles of pipeline would be needed to transport water to the Lake of Egypt Water District treatment facility. Other alternatives under consideration include the purchasing of treated water from nearby communities and building new pipelines to nearby lakes. A first final draft supplement to the final EIS May 1996 considered a new alternative that would involve constructing a pipeline to transport raw or treated water from Rend Lake, a large multipurpose reservoir located on Big Muddy River, to the Lake of Egypt Water District. This second draft supplement examines single-source options as well as combinations of separate alternatives to satisfy current and future water needs of Marion and the LEWD. Feasible alternatives considered include delivery of treated water from the Rend Lake Conservancy District; delivery of raw water from Rend Lake; obtaining water from Cedar Lake; obtaining water from the Cache River aquifer; obtaining Water from Saline Valley; and creation of a new reservoir near Goreville or on Sugar Creek. The currently preferred alternative would involve obtaining water from a new reservoir to be constructed on Sugar Creek. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the originally proposed action and other reservoir and lake alternatives, the impoundments would provide a long-term dependable supply of water to the city of Marion and the neighboring communities. The impoundments would provide opportunities for fishing and boating. Aquifer withdrawals would also provide a dependable water supply to the affected areas and would eliminate inundation impacts associated with impoundments. The currently preferred alternative would provide all benefits of the originally proposed action and eliminate the requirement of aquifer withdrawals, thereby protecting groundwater levels and quality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Pipeline construction would require the clearing of forest and cropland and would encroach on wetlands. New reservoir would inundate additional agricultural lands, other vegetated acreage, and wetlands. Suitable habitat for several threatened and endangered species, including the Indiana bat and the Indiana crayfish, could be lost as a result of reservoir development. Removal of groundwater from aquifers could result in substantial drawdown. Historic and prehistoric sites have been identified in the project area.

AN - 16355620; 11894 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of an integrated plan for water operations in the upper Rio Grande basin in Colorado and New Mexico is proposed. The basin encompasses the Rio Grande drainage from its headwaters in Colorado through New Mexico to just above Fort Quitman, Texas. Several distinct federal an state agencies, with differing missions and methods, are responsible for regulating activities in the basin. Several inter- and intra-state agreements mandate the delivery of certain volumes of water between federal, state, local, and tribal entities. The portion of the basin designated as the upper Rio Grande is subject to the Rio Grande Compact of 1938. The climate of the region is variable such that several years of above-average precipitation can be followed by several years of drought. Thus, the volume of available water to comply with agreements from year to year is similarly variable. As a result, any water management plan for the area needs to anticipate and proactively address wide-ranging hydrologic conditions. Ten water operations facilities in the basin can be manipulated individually or in concert to address various situations. The integrated plan proposed here would provide a means of integrating the sometimes disparate missions and activities of the agencies allocating and administering the basin's water resources. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. Each alternative addresses actions at nine basin water operations facilities, including six operated by the Bureau of Reclamation and three operated by the Army Corps of Engineers. These facilities include the Closed Basin Project, Platoto Dam, Heron Dam, El Vado Dam, Abiquin Dam, Cochiti Dam, Jemez Canyon Dam, Low-Flow Conveyance Channel to Elephant Butte Reservoir, and Elephant Butte Dam. POSITIVE IMPACTS: An integrated plan would provide for storage and delivery of water for agricultural, domestic, municipal and industrial, and environmental uses, assist authorities in meeting downstream water delivery obligations mandated by the Rio Grande Compact, provide for flood protection and sediment control, ad comply with existing laws, contractual obligations, and international treaty requirements vis-a-vis Mexico. Systems operation flexibility would be enhanced significantly, improving water deliveries for agricultural, recreational, and hydropower uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan execution would result in slight to moderate decreases in reservoir and riparian resources, slight to moderate impacts on threatened and endangered species habitat. Impacts could disproportionately affect local Native American populations. The primary impacts related to water quality would consist of decreased dissolved oxygen levels in Elephant Butte and Caballo reservoirs. Excessive flood flows allowed in the San Acacia Section could damage culturally relevant archaeological sites.

Preparation date: January 19, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - WILLIS AVENUE BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, NEW YORK AND BRONX COUNTIES, NEW YORK. AN - 16340231; 11890 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the 100-year-old Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River between Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City, New York is proposed. The bridge provides a continuous street rid system between upper Manhattan in New York County and the southwest Bronx in Bronx County as well as providing a connecting from the northbound Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) Drive to the Major Deegan Expressway and Bruckner Boulevard. The bridge is open for one-way. Bronx-bound vehicular travel with complementary Manhattan-bound service provided no the Third Avenue Bridge, several blocks to the north. The bridge serves the dual function of linking the street grid systems of the two boroughs and providing key access between several regional highways as a toll-free alternative to the Triborough Bridge. Like most Harlem River moveable bridges, the Willis Avenue Bridge is a swing bridge that was constructed near the turn of the Twentieth Century; the bridge pivots open about a vertical access for navigational purposes. Opened to traffic in August 1901, the bridge consists of a swing span with a single flanking through truss span and multi-girder approaches. Eleven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Under the preferred alternative, the proposed project would completely replace the river crossing with a new swing span and flaking girder spans on each site on a new alignment immediately south and slightly skewed to the existing bridge alignment. Four lanes of traffic would be maintained on the bridge mainline, as is the case on the existing bridge. All new steel approaches and ramps would transition back to the existing confections with the street and arterial highway networks. The First Avenue approach and FDR Drive ramp would be replaced on new alignments with standard radius curves. The Willis Avenue approach would be replaced on an alignment similar to its existing alignment, which would provide a standard radius curve and eliminate all columns in Willis Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard below the approach. The Bruckner Boulevard ramp would be replaced on a new alignment and brought up to standard. The proposed off-line replacement bridge, which would begin construction in 2007, would have an estimated cost of $314 million in 2010 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bridge reconstruction would improve lane width and geometry of the structure and its approach ramps, reduce the accident rate, increase the bridge's load carrying capacity, improve the bridge's bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and adjust all structural and seismic deficiencies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The existing Willis Avenue Bridge, which is a historic structure, would be demolished. Construction activities would result in noise emissions in excess of federal standards affecting noise-sensitive sites. Residential and commercial relocations would be required.

TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN. AN - 36386490; 11881-060012_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition of approximately 150,510 acres of public lands to support the training mission of the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, located in southeast California, is proposed. Fort Irwin encompasses approximately 642,000 acres of land near the City of Barstow. The NTC is a combat training center for thee Army, which trains 10 armored brigades each year in exercises known as rotations. Rotations last from 28 to 35 days and involve approximately 9,000 soldiers and Army civilians. The training exercises are designed to provide shoulders with the experience needed to excel at their missions. Advancements in military technology and the need to address those advancements are a driving factor for the proposed expansion of the fort. Larger ranges are needed to test and train personnel in the use of new weapon systems and strategies. It has been determined that approximately 624,470 acres of net maneuver area are required to meet Army training needs. The current maneuver area on Fort Irwin covers 350,300 acres, leaving a shortfall of 274,170 acres. For the purposes of the present proposal, the study area lies predominantly to the south, east, and west of the fort. The area also includes two parcels of land on Fort Irwin collectively known as the UTM 90 area; these areas generally lie south of the Universal Traverse Mercator 90 gridline but also include an additional parcel of land to the northwest of that coordinate. These lands were formerly used for heavy mechanized training, but were placed off-limits in 1991 due to the presence of the desert tortoise, a federally protected endangered species. This final supplement to the draft EIS of December 1996 addressing the Army's land acquisition project for the National Training Center at Fort Irwin fully replaces the 1996 EIS. All alternatives considered in the earlier EIS are no longer under consideration. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative VI), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative I) would result in the acquisition of 150,510 acres. This would provide for the reintroduction of the UTM 90 area into mechanized training use. the eastern portion of this alternative includes the southern portion of the Avawatz Mountains and runs parallel, northeast to southwest, along the utilities rights-of-way of the Bureau of Land Management's Utility Planning Corridor D. The southern portion of the area consists of the UTM 90 area. The western portion of the area includes a segment of the Paradise Mountains and two of the Superior lakes. Under Alternative I, a three-mile transit route through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goldstone Complex would be improve for use by Fort Irwin personnel to allow access to Superior Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would provide an expanded battle-space environment to enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. the soils on up to 141,890 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Large areas of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, as would habitat for a population of desert tortoise and for Lane Mountain milk vetch, a federally protected plant species. Numerous archaeological and paleontological sites could be disturbed during training maneuvers. Maneuvers would require elimination of public access to the area for recreation and other purposes, including patent mining. One residence would be displace, and maneuvers could conflict with the mission of the Goldstone Complex.` LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 (P.L. 106-554), Public Law 106-554, and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36384819; 11881-060012_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition of approximately 150,510 acres of public lands to support the training mission of the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, located in southeast California, is proposed. Fort Irwin encompasses approximately 642,000 acres of land near the City of Barstow. The NTC is a combat training center for thee Army, which trains 10 armored brigades each year in exercises known as rotations. Rotations last from 28 to 35 days and involve approximately 9,000 soldiers and Army civilians. The training exercises are designed to provide shoulders with the experience needed to excel at their missions. Advancements in military technology and the need to address those advancements are a driving factor for the proposed expansion of the fort. Larger ranges are needed to test and train personnel in the use of new weapon systems and strategies. It has been determined that approximately 624,470 acres of net maneuver area are required to meet Army training needs. The current maneuver area on Fort Irwin covers 350,300 acres, leaving a shortfall of 274,170 acres. For the purposes of the present proposal, the study area lies predominantly to the south, east, and west of the fort. The area also includes two parcels of land on Fort Irwin collectively known as the UTM 90 area; these areas generally lie south of the Universal Traverse Mercator 90 gridline but also include an additional parcel of land to the northwest of that coordinate. These lands were formerly used for heavy mechanized training, but were placed off-limits in 1991 due to the presence of the desert tortoise, a federally protected endangered species. This final supplement to the draft EIS of December 1996 addressing the Army's land acquisition project for the National Training Center at Fort Irwin fully replaces the 1996 EIS. All alternatives considered in the earlier EIS are no longer under consideration. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative VI), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative I) would result in the acquisition of 150,510 acres. This would provide for the reintroduction of the UTM 90 area into mechanized training use. the eastern portion of this alternative includes the southern portion of the Avawatz Mountains and runs parallel, northeast to southwest, along the utilities rights-of-way of the Bureau of Land Management's Utility Planning Corridor D. The southern portion of the area consists of the UTM 90 area. The western portion of the area includes a segment of the Paradise Mountains and two of the Superior lakes. Under Alternative I, a three-mile transit route through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goldstone Complex would be improve for use by Fort Irwin personnel to allow access to Superior Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would provide an expanded battle-space environment to enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. the soils on up to 141,890 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Large areas of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, as would habitat for a population of desert tortoise and for Lane Mountain milk vetch, a federally protected plant species. Numerous archaeological and paleontological sites could be disturbed during training maneuvers. Maneuvers would require elimination of public access to the area for recreation and other purposes, including patent mining. One residence would be displace, and maneuvers could conflict with the mission of the Goldstone Complex.` LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 (P.L. 106-554), Public Law 106-554, and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

TO THE CALIFORNIA DESERT CONSERVATION AREA PLAN. AN - 36372577; 11881-060012_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The acquisition of approximately 150,510 acres of public lands to support the training mission of the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, located in southeast California, is proposed. Fort Irwin encompasses approximately 642,000 acres of land near the City of Barstow. The NTC is a combat training center for thee Army, which trains 10 armored brigades each year in exercises known as rotations. Rotations last from 28 to 35 days and involve approximately 9,000 soldiers and Army civilians. The training exercises are designed to provide shoulders with the experience needed to excel at their missions. Advancements in military technology and the need to address those advancements are a driving factor for the proposed expansion of the fort. Larger ranges are needed to test and train personnel in the use of new weapon systems and strategies. It has been determined that approximately 624,470 acres of net maneuver area are required to meet Army training needs. The current maneuver area on Fort Irwin covers 350,300 acres, leaving a shortfall of 274,170 acres. For the purposes of the present proposal, the study area lies predominantly to the south, east, and west of the fort. The area also includes two parcels of land on Fort Irwin collectively known as the UTM 90 area; these areas generally lie south of the Universal Traverse Mercator 90 gridline but also include an additional parcel of land to the northwest of that coordinate. These lands were formerly used for heavy mechanized training, but were placed off-limits in 1991 due to the presence of the desert tortoise, a federally protected endangered species. This final supplement to the draft EIS of December 1996 addressing the Army's land acquisition project for the National Training Center at Fort Irwin fully replaces the 1996 EIS. All alternatives considered in the earlier EIS are no longer under consideration. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative VI), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative I) would result in the acquisition of 150,510 acres. This would provide for the reintroduction of the UTM 90 area into mechanized training use. the eastern portion of this alternative includes the southern portion of the Avawatz Mountains and runs parallel, northeast to southwest, along the utilities rights-of-way of the Bureau of Land Management's Utility Planning Corridor D. The southern portion of the area consists of the UTM 90 area. The western portion of the area includes a segment of the Paradise Mountains and two of the Superior lakes. Under Alternative I, a three-mile transit route through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goldstone Complex would be improve for use by Fort Irwin personnel to allow access to Superior Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would provide an expanded battle-space environment to enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. the soils on up to 141,890 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Large areas of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, as would habitat for a population of desert tortoise and for Lane Mountain milk vetch, a federally protected plant species. Numerous archaeological and paleontological sites could be disturbed during training maneuvers. Maneuvers would require elimination of public access to the area for recreation and other purposes, including patent mining. One residence would be displace, and maneuvers could conflict with the mission of the Goldstone Complex.` LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 (P.L. 106-554), Public Law 106-554, and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Advancements in military technology and the need to address those advancements are a driving factor for the proposed expansion of the fort. Larger ranges are needed to test and train personnel in the use of new weapon systems and strategies. It has been determined that approximately 624,470 acres of net maneuver area are required to meet Army training needs. The current maneuver area on Fort Irwin covers 350,300 acres, leaving a shortfall of 274,170 acres. For the purposes of the present proposal, the study area lies predominantly to the south, east, and west of the fort. The area also includes two parcels of land on Fort Irwin collectively known as the UTM 90 area; these areas generally lie south of the Universal Traverse Mercator 90 gridline but also include an additional parcel of land to the northwest of that coordinate. These lands were formerly used for heavy mechanized training, but were placed off-limits in 1991 due to the presence of the desert tortoise, a federally protected endangered species. This final supplement to the draft EIS of December 1996 addressing the Army's land acquisition project for the National Training Center at Fort Irwin fully replaces the 1996 EIS. All alternatives considered in the earlier EIS are no longer under consideration. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative VI), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative I) would result in the acquisition of 150,510 acres. This would provide for the reintroduction of the UTM 90 area into mechanized training use. the eastern portion of this alternative includes the southern portion of the Avawatz Mountains and runs parallel, northeast to southwest, along the utilities rights-of-way of the Bureau of Land Management's Utility Planning Corridor D. The southern portion of the area consists of the UTM 90 area. The western portion of the area includes a segment of the Paradise Mountains and two of the Superior lakes. Under Alternative I, a three-mile transit route through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goldstone Complex would be improve for use by Fort Irwin personnel to allow access to Superior Valley. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The acquisition of additional maneuverable land would provide an expanded battle-space environment to enable the NTC to conduct its mission of training brigade-sized units in accordance with present and future joint and combined-arms operations doctrines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any ecological community occurring in terrain with a slope of less than 20 percent would be adversely affected. Soil and vegetation would be disturbed due to intensive use of tracked and wheeled vehicles, landing pads and similar facilities, and trenching for tank and gun emplacement. the soils on up to 141,890 acres of land would be adversely affected due to the crushing of rock outcrops, the disturbance of desert pavement, the compaction of upper soil layers, and wind and water erosion. There would be significant large-scale losses of vegetation in concentrated activity areas that are slow to recover. Large areas of Mojave creosote scrub would be lost, as would habitat for a population of desert tortoise and for Lane Mountain milk vetch, a federally protected plant species. Numerous archaeological and paleontological sites could be disturbed during training maneuvers. Maneuvers would require elimination of public access to the area for recreation and other purposes, including patent mining. One residence would be displace, and maneuvers could conflict with the mission of the Goldstone Complex.` LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 (P.L. 106-554), Public Law 106-554, and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

Fort Irwin encompasses approximately 642,000 acres of land near the City of Barstow. The NTC is a combat training center for thee Army, which trains 10 armored brigades each year in exercises known as rotations.

Preparation date: January 12, 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BOSTON HARBOR NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENT DREDGING, BERTH DREDGING PROJECT, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 16355816; 11877 AB - PURPOSE: The dredging and disposal of material from the federal navigation channel in Boston Harbor in Massachusetts is proposed in this draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1995. The June 1995 proposal addressed the deepening of three tributary channels (Reserved Channel, Mystic River Channel, and Chelsea Creek Channel) and two areas in the Main Ship Channel in order to provide sufficient ship maneuvering areas for the deep-drafted vessels that currently transit the area. This supplemental EIS proposes the dredging of Approximately 1.7 million cubic yards of silty maintenance material from the Main Ship Channel located approximately halfway between Spectacle Island and Castle Island upstream to the Inner Confluence, the upper Reserved Channel, and the approach to the Navy Dry Dock to their authorized depths. Approximately 1.3 million cubic yards of the material to be dredged would be unsuitable for unconfined open water disposal, hence, would be disposed in confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells located in or near the previously identified sites. THE CAD cells would lie within the Mystic River navigation channel and the Main Ship navigation channel. the silty maintenance material suitable for ocean disposal and the 1.5 million cubic yards of parent material removed to construct the CAD cells would be dumped at the Massachusetts Bay Disposal Site. In addition to the dredged material, approximately 12,000 cubic yards of rock would be removed. In addition to the proposed action and a NO Action Alternative, dredging and disposal alternatives are considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Harbor improvements would make vessel passage less dependent on tidal navigation or lightening. They would also enable Boston to accommodate the larger vessels now found in the world fleet. The improvements would help the port maintain its competitive position in the national and world marketplace. The project would also improve water quality by removing and isolating silts in the channels and berths containing contaminants that are continually re-suspended during storm and vessel activity. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some benthic organisms and demersal fish would be killed during dredging and blasting as well as during disposal in the CAD cells and the bay dumping site. Turbidity would increase in the area of the dredge and at the disposal site. Dredging would release toxic contaminants into the water column temporarily.

AN - 36389027; 11871-060001_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of one mile of Syracuse Road from 1000 West to 200 West in Syracuse, Davis County, Utah is proposed. Syracuse Road (also known as State Route 108, 1700 South, and Antelope Drive functions as the primary east-west transportation corridor in northwestern Davis County, an area experiencing a rapid transition from an agricultural environment to a suburban development. The population of Syracuse more than doubled between 1990 and 2000 and is expected to reach build-out population between 2020 and 2030. Currently Syracuse Road operates at a failing level of service, with 20,000 vehicles per day using the facility. Proposed improvements would include widening the existing two-lane roadway to a consistent five-lane cross-section featuring two travel lanes in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane, with shoulders, curb-and-gutter accommodations, park strips, and sidewalks. Three alternatives, including a No-Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The two action alternatives would widen the facility to the north or to the south. Widening to the south has been identified as the most beneficial and least environmentally damaging alternatives, but no preferred alternative has yet been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing the capacity of Syracuse Road, the project would provide increased capacity within the corridor to meet existing and future travel demand and provide a safe multi-modal facility to access major employment, commercial, and recreation centers. Improved mobility would facilitate the development of vacant parcels. Pedestrian and bicyclist mobility and safety would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the action Alternative selected, rights-of-way requirements would displace three to 5.5 acres of residential, 1.3 to 1.5 acres of commercial, and 0.32 to 2.8 acres of agricultural land. From 23 to 41 residences and one to two businesses and, possibly, one business/residence would be displaced. The extent of impervious surface would increase from four to 12 acres, increasing the 10-year peak flood flow for he project area from roughly 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 60 cfs. From 10 to 19 historic structures would be affected adversely by highway development and use. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 27 to 40 residents, one museum, and one to three businesses, though, except for the museum, levels would generally be lower and fewer violations would occur than under the No Action Alternative. The corridor's visual aesthetics would be degraded by highway expansion and development prompted by increased corridor capacity.

From 10 to 19 historic structures would be affected adversely by highway development and use. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at 27 to 40 residents, one museum, and one to three businesses, though, except for the museum, levels would generally be lower and fewer violations would occur than under the No Action Alternative. The corridor's visual aesthetics would be degraded by highway expansion and development prompted by increased corridor capacity.

AN - 36378878; 11871-060001_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of one mile of Syracuse Road from 1000 West to 200 West in Syracuse, Davis County, Utah is proposed. Syracuse Road (also known as State Route 108, 1700 South, and Antelope Drive functions as the primary east-west transportation corridor in northwestern Davis County, an area experiencing a rapid transition from an agricultural environment to a suburban development. The population of Syracuse more than doubled between 1990 and 2000 and is expected to reach build-out population between 2020 and 2030. Currently Syracuse Road operates at a failing level of service, with 20,000 vehicles per day using the facility. Proposed improvements would include widening the existing two-lane roadway to a consistent five-lane cross-section featuring two travel lanes in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane, with shoulders, curb-and-gutter accommodations, park strips, and sidewalks. Three alternatives, including a No-Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The two action alternatives would widen the facility to the north or to the south. Widening to the south has been identified as the most beneficial and least environmentally damaging alternatives, but no preferred alternative has yet been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By increasing the capacity of Syracuse Road, the project would provide increased capacity within the corridor to meet existing and future travel demand and provide a safe multi-modal facility to access major employment, commercial, and recreation centers. Improved mobility would facilitate the development of vacant parcels. Pedestrian and bicyclist mobility and safety would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the action Alternative selected, rights-of-way requirements would displace three to 5.5 acres of residential, 1.3 to 1.5 acres of commercial, and 0.32 to 2.8 acres of agricultural land. From 23 to 41 residences and one to two businesses and, possibly, one business/residence would be displaced.

AN - 70188656; 16045966 AB - The objectives of this study were to provide data that can be used to predict exposure-based effects of RDX in aged soil on multiple endpoint organisms representing two trophic levels. These data can be used for defining criteria or reference values for environmental management and conducting specific risk assessment. Dose-response experiments formed the basis for the evaluation of toxic effects and transfer of contaminants from soil into two trophic levels. Long-term exposure tests were conducted to evaluate chronic, sublethal, toxicity and transfer of aged soil-based explosives, with RDX as main contaminant. In these tests, plants were exposed for 55 days in the greenhouse, biomass was determined and residues of explosives parent compounds and RDX metabolites were analyzed using HPLC techniques. Worms were exposed for 28 days (Eisenia fetida) and 42 days (Enchytraeus crypticus) in the laboratory, biomass and number were determined, and tissues were analyzed for explosives compounds. The plants tolerated concentrations up to 1,540 mg RDX kg(-1) soil-DW. Biomass of Lolium perenne was not significantly related to soil-RDX concentration, while biomass of Medicago sativa significantly increased. No screening benchmark for RDX in soil for plants was calculated, since concentrations up to 1,540 mg kg(-1) soil failed to reduce biomass by 20% as required for a LOEC. RDX, RDX-metabolite MNX, and accompanying HMX concentrations in plants were significantly related to concentrations in soil after 55 days of exposure (RDX: R(2) = 0.77-0.89; MNX R(2) = 0.53-0.77; HMX: R(2) = 0.67-0.71). The average bioconcentration factors (BCF) were for RDX 17 in L. perenne and 37 in M. sativa, and for HMX 2 in L. perenne and 44 in M. sativa. The worms also tolerated concentrations up to 1,540 mg RDX kg(-1) soil-DW. Biomass of E. fetida adults decreased with soil-RDX concentration, and a LOEC of 1,253 mg kg(-1) soil-DW was estimated. RDX concentrations in E. fetida were significantly related to concentrations in soil after 28-day exposure (R(2) = 0.88). The average BCF in E. fetida for RDX was 1. Because in response to exposure to RDX-contaminated soil the RDX concentrations in plants increased initially and decreased subsequently, while those in worms increased continuously, RDX in worm tissues may accumulate to higher concentrations than in plant tissues, regardless of the low average BCF for worms.

AN - 67909664; 16640315 AB - Confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells are increasingly becoming the selected option for the management of unacceptably contaminated sediments. CAD cells are selected as the preferred alternative because this approach provides an acceptable compromise when cost, logistics, regulatory acceptance, environmental risk, and perception of various alternatives are considered. This preference for CAD cells often occurs even when other alternatives with similar risk reduction and less cost, such as an open water capping alternative, are considered as options. This paradox is largely a result of subjective factors that affect regulatory acceptance such as public perceptions.

AN - 67908560; 16640318 AB - This paper summarizes discussion among the 7 authors who served on an expert panel at the Third Battelle International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in January 2005. In this article, the authors review how sediment management decisions are currently made and address the question of how management decisions should be made in the future. It is arguably the case that sediment remediation presents greater challenges and more complexity than traditional land-based clean-ups. Although understanding of these challenges and complexities has grown over the last 25 y, there has been, until recently, relatively little innovation in the approaches used to manage the environmental risks posed by contaminated sediments. New methods that facilitate a more rigorous analysis of the multiple criteria considered in decision making have been developed. These methods, collectively known as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), coupled with the use of comparative-risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis, are proposed as an effective, efficient, and credible foundation for evaluating remedy alternatives at contaminated sediment sites.

The wall was built of stone (mostly limestone) brought over on cargo ships to help reduce the eroding, forty-foot high sandy bluff from further erosion and to make use of the many tons of stone stacked along the river front. Erosion of the stone and mortar has been occurring for many years and the cause was investigated. It was concluded that salt intrusion is the main source of erosion and acid rain is the secondary source of erosion. The author recommends a course of action to rehabilitate the wall and also points out the need to educate the public about the increasing negative effects of acid rain in the southeastern United States.

The combined P- and S-wave common-mode reflection information allowed the near-surface sequence to be imaged more effectively than using solely the P- or S-wave information. S-wave reflections from the bedrock and overburden interface were consistently measured in both the XX component (inline-inline, or SV-SV) and the YY component (crossline-crossline, or SH-SH) field data. However, surface wave noise resulted in the optimum reflection window of XX component data being relatively narrow, and stacked YY component data had a higher signal-to-noise ratio and better imaged the top-of-bedrock. P-wave reflections from the unsaturated and saturated overburden interface were recorded in ZZ component (vertical-vertical, or P-P) field data, but S-wave reflections from this interface were not observed. P-wave events from deeper contrasts in impedance could not be resolved in field data due to surface wave and air wave noise, a high P-wave reflection coefficient at the top of the saturated overburden, low P-wave reflection coefficients at deeper interfaces, and interference effects and poor resolution. Calculations based on P- and S-wave velocities (Vp and Vs) and dominant wavelengths suggest that the vertical resolution of S-waves in the study area dry overburden was more than 1.7 times the resolution of P-waves, while the resolution of S-waves in the saturated overburden was more than 4.7 times that of P-waves. The potential for determining detailed variations in Poisson's ratio (n) using Vp/Vs ratios was found to be limited due to the small number of reflection events and the fact that P- and S-wave reflections did not correlate to similar interfaces; however, representative lithology values of n were able to be estimated using measurements and reasonable assumptions. Although P-wave reflection data have traditionally been acquired during shallow reflection surveys, results of this study demonstrate that due to differences in P- and S-wave propagation, media compressional and shear impedance contrasts, and variations in receiver sensitivity (as a function of orientation), it is necessary to consider the probable usefulness of different data components/wave-type reflections prior to conducting a shallow reflection survey. Near-surface imaging and characterization may be best accomplished through the acquisition and analysis of one particular, or multiple data components/wave-type reflections.

This small-scale planned industrial village was designed and operated by David Felt, a liberal Unitarian printer and stationer, from 1845 to 1860. Archaeological and documentary materials recovered over the last six years paint a picture of conditions in Felt's rural industrial reformist alternative and provide a glimpse into the worldview of the community architect. Examination of Feltville and its historical context allows for the evaluation of the potential practical and theoretical contributions of historical archaeology in the study of utopian movements. Specifically, the diversity of sociopolitical ideals expressed prior to the advent of Marxian socialism calls into question the conflation of communalist and utopian social designs in some contemporary treatments.

AN - 36390680; 11856-050541_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply and flood control project for the Bayou meto Basin of Arkansas, Jefferson, Lonoke, Prairie, and Pulaski counties in east-central Arkansas is proposed. The 780,000-acre basin lies between the Arkansas and White rivers. Eleven hydrologic reaches were delineated for the flood damage reduction proposals. Land use within the project area includes 863,712 acres of land and water. Major problems affecting the project area include the depletion of the alluvial aquifer and flooding. The aquifer, which is the principal source of irrigation water for most farms, may be permanently damaged if an alternative irrigation source is not located. The area's greatest need for flood relief lies in the lower portion of the project area and, to a lesser degree, in the upper part of the basin west of Lonoke. Five water supply alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and five flood control alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Water supply action alternatives include on-farm storage and conservation measures or water import systems drawing 1,650, 1,750 or 1,850 cubic feet per second (cfs), combined with conservation and storage facilities. The import systems would include 5,954, 8,832 or 14,554 acres of additional reservoir storage space. Flood control alternatives would include: FC-2) channel excavation to provide flood relief for the more frequently flooded reaches of the basin; FC-2A) channel excavation for flood reduction overlapping with water supply channel work; FC-3A) FC-2A, combined with the installation of a 1,000-cfs pumping plant on Little Bayou Meto and associated structural and channel features; FC-3B) Alternative FC-3A, except pumping station capacity on Little Bayou Meto would be increased to 3,000 cfs. The agricultural water supply components of the recommended plan would include increased conservation irrigation efficiencies, groundwater protection, additional on-farm reservoirs, and an water important system. Waterfowl habitat enhancement components, which would also provide some flood damage reduction benefits, would include channel improvements, a 1,000-cfs pumping plant,, and numerous other water management measures. The recommended plan would also include reforestation of 23,000 acres of floodplain and 2,643 acres of riparian buffer, restoration of 10,000 acres of prairie, and creation of 240 acres of moist soil habitat. First and annual costs of the of the preferred water supply plan are estimated at $336.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. First and annual costs of the of the preferred flood control plan are estimated at $51.2 million and $3.9 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.35. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide facilities designed to protect groundwater resources and reduce flooding in the area while providing a supplemental agricultural water supply for irrigation purposes, fish farming, wild fish and terrestrial wildlife habitat, and waterfowl management and conservation. Replacement of groundwater irrigation sources with water from the Arkansas could help restore the regional aquifer. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in reservoir storage capacity would result in inundation of terrestrial and wetland wildlife habitat. Removal of water from the Arkansas River would reduce water quality and yield in the river seasonally, affecting fish resources and wetlands depending on river flows. Farming would continue to displace potential habitat and result in the continued release of agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides and phosphate-based fertilizers into the terrestrial and ecosystems.

AN - 36379196; 11856-050541_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply and flood control project for the Bayou meto Basin of Arkansas, Jefferson, Lonoke, Prairie, and Pulaski counties in east-central Arkansas is proposed. The 780,000-acre basin lies between the Arkansas and White rivers. Eleven hydrologic reaches were delineated for the flood damage reduction proposals. Land use within the project area includes 863,712 acres of land and water. Major problems affecting the project area include the depletion of the alluvial aquifer and flooding. The aquifer, which is the principal source of irrigation water for most farms, may be permanently damaged if an alternative irrigation source is not located. The area's greatest need for flood relief lies in the lower portion of the project area and, to a lesser degree, in the upper part of the basin west of Lonoke. Five water supply alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and five flood control alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Water supply action alternatives include on-farm storage and conservation measures or water import systems drawing 1,650, 1,750 or 1,850 cubic feet per second (cfs), combined with conservation and storage facilities. The import systems would include 5,954, 8,832 or 14,554 acres of additional reservoir storage space. Flood control alternatives would include: FC-2) channel excavation to provide flood relief for the more frequently flooded reaches of the basin; FC-2A) channel excavation for flood reduction overlapping with water supply channel work; FC-3A) FC-2A, combined with the installation of a 1,000-cfs pumping plant on Little Bayou Meto and associated structural and channel features; FC-3B) Alternative FC-3A, except pumping station capacity on Little Bayou Meto would be increased to 3,000 cfs. The agricultural water supply components of the recommended plan would include increased conservation irrigation efficiencies, groundwater protection, additional on-farm reservoirs, and an water important system. Waterfowl habitat enhancement components, which would also provide some flood damage reduction benefits, would include channel improvements, a 1,000-cfs pumping plant,, and numerous other water management measures. The recommended plan would also include reforestation of 23,000 acres of floodplain and 2,643 acres of riparian buffer, restoration of 10,000 acres of prairie, and creation of 240 acres of moist soil habitat. First and annual costs of the of the preferred water supply plan are estimated at $336.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. First and annual costs of the of the preferred flood control plan are estimated at $51.2 million and $3.9 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.35. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide facilities designed to protect groundwater resources and reduce flooding in the area while providing a supplemental agricultural water supply for irrigation purposes, fish farming, wild fish and terrestrial wildlife habitat, and waterfowl management and conservation. Replacement of groundwater irrigation sources with water from the Arkansas could help restore the regional aquifer. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in reservoir storage capacity would result in inundation of terrestrial and wetland wildlife habitat. Removal of water from the Arkansas River would reduce water quality and yield in the river seasonally, affecting fish resources and wetlands depending on river flows. Farming would continue to displace potential habitat and result in the continued release of agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides and phosphate-based fertilizers into the terrestrial and ecosystems.

Preparation date: 2006 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - UPPER RIO GRANDE BASIN WATER OPERATIONS REVIEW, COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO. AN - 36342238; 12869 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of an integrated plan for water operations in the upper Rio Grande basin in Colorado and New Mexico is proposed. The basin encompasses the Rio Grande drainage from its headwaters in Colorado through New Mexico to just above Fort Quitman, Texas. Several distinct federal and state agencies, with differing missions and methods, are responsible for regulating activities in the basin. Several inter- and intra-state agreements mandate the delivery of certain volumes of water between federal, state, local, and tribal entities. The portion of the basin designated as the upper Rio Grande is subject to the Rio Grande Compact of 1938. The climate of the region is variable such that several years of above-average precipitation can be followed by several years of drought. Thus, the volume of available water to comply with agreements from year to year is similarly variable. As a result, any water management plan for the area needs to anticipate and proactively address wide-ranging hydrologic conditions. Ten water operations facilities in the basin can be manipulated individually or in concert to address various situations. The integrated plan proposed here would provide a means of integrating the sometimes disparate missions and activities of the agencies allocating and administering the basin's water resources. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the current management regime, were considered in the draft and final EISs of January 2006 and April 2007, respectively. Each alternative addresses actions at nine basin water operations facilities, including six operated by the Bureau of Reclamation and three operated by the Army Corps of Engineers. These facilities include the Closed Basin Project, Platoto Dam, Heron Dam, El Vado Dam, Abiquiu Dam, Cochiti Dam, Jemez Canyon Dam, Low-Flow Conveyance Channel to Elephant Butte Reservoir, and Elephant Butte Dam. The preferred alternative (Alternative E-3) would require water contractors to take delivery of their annual allotment by December 31, unless a waiver for delivery is authorized by September 30, the existing date for waiver authorization being April 30; allow water supply storage of up to 180,000 at the Abiquiu Dam, which currently provides only flood control storage; increase the authorized capacity of the Cochiti Channel from 7,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 10,000 cfs; use protocol coordination to arrange allocation for flood control storage at the Elephant Butte and Caballo dams; and establish basin-wide coordination via a formal communications system as opposed via information communication. The Abiquiu Channel capacity would remain at 7,000 cfs, and diversions to the Low-Flow Conveyance Channel associated with Elephant Butte Dam to aid the delivery of Compact water would continue to be limited to 2,000 cfs. The technical appendices, which are provided and covered here for the first time, address various affected environmental resources and processes as well as the decision support process and data quality issues. POSITIVE IMPACTS: An integrated plan would provide for storage and delivery of water for agricultural, domestic, municipal and industrial, and environmental uses, assist authorities in meeting downstream water delivery obligations mandated by the Rio Grande Compact, provide for flood protection and sediment control, ad comply with existing laws, contractual obligations, and international treaty requirements vis-a-vis Mexico. Systems operation flexibility would be enhanced significantly, improving water deliveries for agricultural, recreational, and hydropower uses. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan execution would result in slight to moderate decreases in reservoir and riparian resources, slight to moderate impacts on threatened and endangered species habitat. Impacts could disproportionately affect local Native American populations. The primary impacts related to water quality would consist of decreased dissolved oxygen levels in Elephant Butte and Caballo reservoirs. Excessive flood flows allowed in the San Acacia Section could damage culturally relevant archaeological sites.

In this work, we compare transcriptional responses in livers of Sprague-Dawley rats and primary hepatocyte cells after exposure to RDX to determine how faithfully the in vitro model system reflects in vivo responses. Results Expression patterns were found to be markedly different between liver tissue and primary cell cultures before exposure to RDX. Liver gene expression was enriched in processes important in toxicology such as metabolism of amino acids, lipids, aromatic compounds, and drugs when compared to cells. Transcriptional responses in cells exposed to 7.5, 15, or 30 mg/L RDX for 24 and 48 hours were different from those of livers isolated from rats 24 hours after exposure to 12, 24, or 48 mg/Kg RDX. Most of the differentially expressed genes identified across conditions and treatments could be attributed to differences between cells and tissue. Some similarity was observed in RDX effects on gene expression between tissue and cells, but also significant differences that appear to reflect the state of the cell or tissue examined. Conclusion Liver tissue and primary cells express different suites of genes that suggest they have fundamental differences in their cell physiology. Expression effects related to RDX exposure in cells reflected a fraction of liver responses indicating that care must be taken in extrapolating from primary cells to whole animal organ toxicity effects.

Royle) management and its impacts to various user groups in the Santee Cooper reservoirs, South Carolina is summarized and discussed. Hydrilla was first discovered during 1982 and unsuccessfully managed with herbicides through 1988. From 1989 through 1996, a total of 768,500 triploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Valenciennes) were stocked. Hydrilla eventually infested a total of 48,000 acres system-wide and coverage peaked at 38,000 acres during 1994. Triploid grass carp largely eliminated hydrilla by 1997, and since then submersed aquatic vegetation has remained sparse. Impacts from hydrilla were both positive and negative for fisheries and waterfowl but only negative for boating and hydropower. Tourism appeared unaffected. Triploid grass carp in the Santee Cooper system provided effective, long-term control.

This federally listed endangered species is dependent upon non-vegetated to sparsely vegetated sandy areas near bay, lake, and ocean intertidal areas for breeding, and it has experienced population declines due to reduction in habitat along developed and stabilized coasts, increased predation, and human disturbance. This paper explores a simple mathematical model, the logistic equation, which appears to represent leading factors governing a plover population. The model was found to describe plover population data from two locations on the Atlantic coast: northern Assateague Island, Maryland, and the south shore of Long Island, New York. Model predictions and possible applications are discussed in the context of a potential aid for plover management.

The site covered 20 acres, too large to cost-effectively characterize using convention grid sampling techniques. As an alternative, a study was conducted using a hand-held metal detector to locate the bullet impact areas. The metal detector chosen, a Garrett Graphic Target Imaging (GTI) 2500, has an LCD screen, which provides the user information on the potential size and depth of the object causing the signal. A two-man team performed the study and bullet detection was confirmed by excavation. The metal detector proved effective at finding .45 caliber bullets. Three impact areas were successfully identified and marked using a global positioning system (GPS). The metal detecting strategy saved substantial sampling time and over $35,000.00 by decreasing the sampling area by 93 percent.

The presence of particulate explosives and co-contaminants, and the concentration of soil total organic carbon (TOC) on the alkaline hydrolysis reaction were studied. Trinitrobenzene (TNB) and dinitrobenzene (DNB) were sensitive to alkaline hydrolysis under these experimental conditions. The TNT metabolites, 2A- and 4A-DNT, were also removed, although more slowly than the parent compound, and the reaction required a higher pH (>12). RDX retention in the soil was proportional to the TOC content. The degradation intermediates of the alkaline hydrolysis reaction partitioned in the soil matrix in a manner similar to the parent Solid particles of explosives are also degraded by alkaline hydrolysis. RDX and HMX exhibited 74 and 57% removal, respectively, in 21 days. TNT, as whole and broken grains, showed 83 and 99.9% removal in 21 days, respectively. The propellants, 2,4- and 2,6-DNT, were insensitive to alkaline hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis is an inexpensive and effective means of reducing the varied explosives contamination.

ARAMS provides a reliable and repeatable methodology for conducting collaborative and comparative risk assessments, thus providing a savings in time and cost for conducting such assessments and potentially leading to significant remediation cost savings by providing more accurate risk-based cleanup targets. The objectives of this study were to describe and demonstrate the application of ARAMS for ecological risk characterization at two field sites, an aquatic site and a terrestrial site. Other purposes of the study were to identify errors and data/development gaps, and to validate methods and solutions of ARAMS and its components for ecological risk assessment. ERDC researchers, through literature searches and communications with personnel at the Corps of Engineers Center of Expertise for Hazardous, Toxic, and Radiological Waste and Corps districts, identified potential demonstration sites. The candidate sites, which are or were owned or operated by the U.S. Army, Navy, or Air Force, were either components of Superfund projects or were Formerly Used Department of Defense Sites. Langley Air Force Base (LAFB) and Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) were selected among the identified sites to demonstrate the capabilities of ARAMS. The reported ecological risk assessments for LAFB and PCD sites were used to obtain data for conducting these demonstrations. At LAFB, risks were evaluated for benthic invertebrates, a fish (Atlantic croaker), a piscivorous bird (belted kingfisher), and a carnivorous mammal (mink). The selected chemicals of concern at LAFB were polychlorinated biphenyls, benzo(a)pyrene, and arsenic. At PCD, risks to a primary consumer/omnivore (deer mouse), an upper-tropic level mammalian predator (swift fox), and two upper trophic level avian predators (ferruginous hawk and western meadowlark) were evaluated. The chemicals of concern at PCD were 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine, and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. These applications illustrate a number of ARAMS features, including media fate and transport, access to aquatic and terrestrial databases to extract wildlife toxicity benchmarks, and calculations of exposure doses and hazards quotients.

The ASR scheme for the CERP proposes to utilize 333 wells to store up to 6,300,000 cubic meters of freshwater per day into a brackish water carbonate aquifer located in southern Florida, USA. The three different schemes analyzed represent a range of realistic operational plans that could be utilized for the restoration project. The various ASR operational schemes were developed based upon existing research and new numerical modeling efforts. The numerical model developed is capable of simulating the mixing of freshwater and ambient groundwater within the Floridan Aquifer System. The modeling effort determined that each of the three operational schemes tested could represent the optimal plan depending upon the site-specific geology and hydrodynamics. Therefore, care must be taken in matching the best operational scheme to the given geological environment. In addition, the modeling effort demonstrated that the long-term cumulative recovery efficiency assumed for the CERP ASR plan should be feasible and obtainable.

Royle), Eurasian watermilfoil (Myrio-phyllum spicatum L.), sago pondweed (Stuckenia pectinata (L.) Boerner), American pondweed (Potamogeton nodosus Poiret), and egeria (Egeria densa Planchon). Diquat was applied at concentrations of 0.37 mg/L ai and 0.185 mg/L ai (cation) under flow-through conditions to provide theoretical 3 and 6 hr herbicide half-lives that produced observed herbicide half-lives of 2.5 and 4.5 hr, respectively. An additional treatment included 0.37 mg/L ai applied under static conditions (no water exchange). Results showed that diquat applications significantly inhibited shoot biomass production from 42 to 100 percent at all application concentrations and exposure times for all species, except hydrilla. Diquat resulted in no measurable control of hydrilla, except under static conditions. Results suggest that Eurasian watermilfoil, egeria, and sago pondweed are highly susceptible to diquat even in areas where herbicide dilution may occur in less than three hours.

One option is to identify the most chemical-sensitive life stage and tailor management techniques to control that life stage. This would optimize target efficacy while minimizing chemical release into the environment, risk to non-target species, and cost of chemical required. In this study, the relative sensitivity of D. polymorpha life stages was investigated from free gametes to 72-h old trochophores and adults, using cupric sulfate (CuSO sub(4)) and the algaecide, Cutrine registered -Ultra. In both forms of copper exposure, early life stages were orders of magnitude more sensitive than adults. For example, the highest 24-h LC sub(50) value for the early life stages to Cutrine registered -Ultra was 13 mu g Cu/L, while the adult 48-h LC sub(50) value was 1,214 mu g Cu/L. Moreover, adults were highly resistant to short-term (24 h) exposures of Cutrine registered -Ultra, even at much higher concentrations (4,630 mu g Cu/L), while 24-h old D. polymorpha larvae showed 99% mortality after only 52 minutes of exposure to 331 mu g Cu/L as Cutrine registered -Ultra, a concentration well within the permitted label application. There were only marginal differences in sensitivity to CuSO sub(4) and Cutrine registered -Ultra for larvae tested after fertilization; it is possible that Cutrine registered -Ultra is more toxic than CuSO sub(4) at fertilization. Chemical management strategies targeting early larval stages of D. polymorpha are likely more cost-efficient and less prone to non-target environmental impact than strategies aimed at adults.

Royle) was established twice in mesocosm tanks (900 L) during September 1996 and 1997 in Gainesville, Florida. Hydrilla shoots were planted in 10-cm diameter PVC cores with a hydrosoil depth of 30 cm to allow for biomass establishment and tuber formation during the fall, winter, and spring. In late May 1997 and 1998, the dense hydrilla canopies were controlled by using the aquatic herbicide endothall (7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid), by mechanically clipping the canopyjust above the hydrosoil, or by using endothall to remove biomass followed by replacement with healthy non-rooted hydrilla shoots to simulate the presence of a plant canopy. The sprouting of quiescent in situ tubers was then recorded at 4, 8, 12, and 20 weeks following treatment. Light availability at the sediment surface and sediment temperatures increased following canopy removal, whereas these values were similar for the control and artificial canopy treatments. Total tuber sprouting remained below 20%, and was not impacted over the 20-week study period by any of the treatments when compared to the controls. Results of these mesocosm trials suggest that chemical or mechanical management efforts have no discernible impact on the short-term sprouting of hydrilla tubers in situ.

MMs are advantageous because they use small tissue masses (ca. 100 mg), and maintain sensitivity through reducing final extract volume (traditionally 1 ml) by an order of magnitude or more (40 mu l; PCBs; 100 mu l; PAHs). Procedural losses occurred in the MMs' combined cleanup/primary evaporation step (19% PAHs; 6% PCBs), and the final extract concentration (14% PAHs; 22% PCBs). The PAH MM performed comparably to the TM. Although most PCBs had recoveries >50%, the PCB MM generally yielded lower recoveries than the TM. Average method detection limits were 0.6 mu g/kg (TM) and 1.0 mu g/kg (MM) for PCBs and 25.7 mu g/kg (TM) and 27.7 mu g/kg (MM) for PAHs. MMs described for PCB and PAH tissue samples are potentially viable alternatives to TMs, and could lead to cost savings in bioaccumulation/toxicity tests.

Ice thicknesses on non-round structural shapes may also be required in the design of communication towers, towers for power transmission lines, and other ice-sensitive structures. In this paper the uniform radial ice thickness on a wire is shown to be different from the uniform ice thicknesses on other structural shapes in the same icing conditions. Consistent ice thicknesses are calculated for a variety of structural shapes including angles, bars, and channels. Finally a simple method, which is used in ASCE Standard 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, is presented for determining ice loads on arbitrary structural shapes from the uniform radial ice thickness on a wire.

Although weather conditions can be harsh, Antarctic snowfields offer unique conditions to facilitate long-distance robot deployment: the absence of obstacles, firm snow with high albedo, and 24 h sunlight during the summer. We have developed a four-wheel-drive, solar-powered rover that capitalizes on these advantages. Analyses and field measurements confirm that solar power reflected from Antarctic snow contributes 30-40% of the power available to a robot consisting of a five-side box of solar panels. Mobility analyses indicate that the 80 kg rover can move at 0*8 m s super(-1) during clear sky conditions on firm snow into a 5 m s super(-1) headwind, twice the speed needed to achieve the design target of 500 km in 2 weeks. Local winter tests of the chassis demonstrated good grade-climbing ability and lower than predicted rolling resistance. Tests of the completed robot occurred in Greenland in 2005.

AN - 16355708; 11856 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a water supply and flood control project for the Bayou meto Basin of Arkansas, Jefferson, Lonoke, Prairie, and Pulaski counties in east-central Arkansas is proposed. The 780,000-acre basin lies between the Arkansas and White rivers. Eleven hydrologic reaches were delineated for the flood damage reduction proposals. Land use within the project area includes 863,712 acres of land and water. Major problems affecting the project area include the depletion of the alluvial aquifer and flooding. The aquifer, which is the principal source of irrigation water for most farms, may be permanently damaged if an alternative irrigation source is not located. The area's greatest need for flood relief lies in the lower portion of the project area and, to a lesser degree, in the upper part of the basin west of Lonoke. Five water supply alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and five flood control alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. Water supply action alternatives include on-farm storage and conservation measures or water import systems drawing 1,650, 1,750 or 1,850 cubic feet per second (cfs), combined with conservation and storage facilities. The import systems would include 5,954, 8,832 or 14,554 acres of additional reservoir storage space. Flood control alternatives would include: FC-2) channel excavation to provide flood relief for the more frequently flooded reaches of the basin; FC-2A) channel excavation for flood reduction overlapping with water supply channel work; FC-3A) FC-2A, combined with the installation of a 1,000-cfs pumping plant on Little Bayou Meto and associated structural and channel features; FC-3B) Alternative FC-3A, except pumping station capacity on Little Bayou Meto would be increased to 3,000 cfs. The agricultural water supply components of the recommended plan would include increased conservation irrigation efficiencies, groundwater protection, additional on-farm reservoirs, and an water important system. Waterfowl habitat enhancement components, which would also provide some flood damage reduction benefits, would include channel improvements, a 1,000-cfs pumping plant,, and numerous other water management measures. The recommended plan would also include reforestation of 23,000 acres of floodplain and 2,643 acres of riparian buffer, restoration of 10,000 acres of prairie, and creation of 240 acres of moist soil habitat. First and annual costs of the of the preferred water supply plan are estimated at $336.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.1. First and annual costs of the of the preferred flood control plan are estimated at $51.2 million and $3.9 million, and the benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.35. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed project would provide facilities designed to protect groundwater resources and reduce flooding in the area while providing a supplemental agricultural water supply for irrigation purposes, fish farming, wild fish and terrestrial wildlife habitat, and waterfowl management and conservation. Replacement of groundwater irrigation sources with water from the Arkansas could help restore the regional aquifer. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Increases in reservoir storage capacity would result in inundation of terrestrial and wetland wildlife habitat. Removal of water from the Arkansas River would reduce water quality and yield in the river seasonally, affecting fish resources and wetlands depending on river flows. Farming would continue to displace potential habitat and result in the continued release of agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides and phosphate-based fertilizers into the terrestrial and ecosystems.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - CONSTRUCTION INTO THE POWDER RIVER BASIN, POWDER RIVER BASIN EXPANSION PROJECT, MINNESOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA, WYOMING (FINANCE DOCKET NO. 33407 - DAKOTA, MINNESOTA, & EASTERN RAILROAD CORPORATION) (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 2001). AN - 36379658; 11868-050553_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Issuance of a permit for the construction and operation of a new rail line and associated facilities in east-central Wyoming, southwest South Dakota, and south-central Minnesota is proposed. The rail line would allow the applicant, Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation (DM&E), to become the third rail carrier to serve Wyoming's Powder River Basin coal mines. The project would involve construction of 280 miles of new line and rehabilitation of 600 miles of existing line. The applicants proposal would include 262.-3 miles of new rail line extending from DM&E's existing system near Wasta, South Dakota. The new line would extend generally to the southwest to Edgemont, South Dakota, thence west into Wyoming to connect with existing coal mines located south of Gillette. This portion of the new construction would traverse portions of Custer, Fall River, Jackson, and Pennington counties, South Dakota and Campbel, Converse, Niobrara, and Weston counties, Wyoming. The new rail construction would also include a 13.31-mile line segment at Mankato, Minnesota within Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. DM&E current uses trackage on both sides of Mankato, accessed by trackage rights on rail line operated by the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP). The Mankato construction would provide DM&E direct access between its existing lines and allow DM&E to avoid operational conflicts with UP. The final proposed segment of new rail construction would create a connection between the existing rail systems of DM&E and the I&M Link Railroad. The connection would include construction and operation of approximately 2.94 miles of new rail line near Owatonna, Minnesota in Steele County. To transport coal over the existing system, DM&E would rebuild and upgrade approximately 597.8 miles of rail line along its existing system; 584.95 miles of the rehabilitated track would be along DM&E's mainline between Wasta, South Dakota, and Winona, Minnesota. This upgrade project would cross Winona, Olmstead, Dodge, Steele, Waseca, Nicollet, Blue Earth, Brown, Redwood, Lyon, and Lincoln counties in Minnesota, and Brookings, Kingsbury, Beadle, Hand, Hyde, Hughes, Stanley, Hakon, and Jackson counties in South Dakota. An additional 12.85 miles of existing rail line between Oral and Smithwick, in Fall River County, South Dakota, would also be rebuilt. Rail rehabilitation would include rail and tie replacement, additional sidings, signals, grade crossing improvements, and other system improvements. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), were considered with respect to extension of the system in the final EIS of November 2001. Key issues addressed during scoping for this final supplemental EIS include those related to horn noise, the relationship between vibration and horn noise, and potential for increased coal consumption in the region serviced by DM&E. Alternative B would call for new construction to occur along the Cheyenne River. Alternative C would avoid new construction in sensitive areas in South Dakota and Wyoming. Alternative D would reconstruct the existing line through Rapid City to Smithwick, provide for new construction to Edgemont, and continue with construction adjacent to the existing rail bed through Newcastle and Moorcroft. As numerous federal and state agencies are involved in the decision regarding choice of a preferred alternative, a number of preferences have been forwarded. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of a third rail carrier to serve the Powder River Basin would increase the efficiency of the movement of coal eastward from the basin. The new rail line would also increase the operational efficiency of DM&E's existing rail line in Minnesota and South Dakota. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction and operation of the rail system would affect geology and soils, surface water and wetlands, groundwater, vegetation, agricultural land and operations, residential and commercial land uses, public land uses, cultural resources, recreation resources, environmental justice with respect to disadvantaged populations and minorities and the elderly, ranching, traditional Native American tribal cultural properties and other cultural resources, visual aesthetics. air quality, certain threatened and endangered species, and safety, including emergency vehicle response times. System operation would result in the generation of noise and vibration.

AN - 36390779; 11867-050552_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southern Georgia and northern Florida are proposed under the Cypress Pipeline Project and the Phase VII Expansion Project. According to the Energy Information Administration, annual natural gas consumption in the United States is expected to increase, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) comprising 15 percent of total national consumption, compared to only two percent in 2003. The Cypress Project would increase the applicant's delivery capacity to meet new storage capacity on Elba Island, while the Phase VII Expansion Project would allow its applicant to interconnect to expanded Cypress Project facilities. Under the Cypress Pipeline Project, the Southern National Gas Company (SNG) would provide 166.6 miles of new 24-inch-diameter mainline pipeline in Effingham, Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camden, and Charlton counties, Georgia and Nassau, Duval, and Clay counties, Florida; 9.8 miles of new 20-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Chatham and Effingham counties, Georgia; 0.1 mile of 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Duval County, Florida; one new 10,350-horsepower gas-turbine-driven compressor station each in Liberty and Glynn counties, Georgia and Nassau County, Florida; modifications at two existing meter stations in Chatham and Cobb counties, Georgia; expansion of one meter station in Effingham County, Georgia; installation of 16 new block valves, including 14 associated with the new mainline and two associated with the new loop; and installation of four new pig launcher/receiver facilities, including two in Effingham County, Georgia, one in Glynn County, Georgia, and one in Clay County, Florida, each collocated with new or existing meter stations or new compressor station sites. SNG would implement the project in three phases extending from October 2006 to May 2010. Under the Phase VII Expansion Project, the Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) would provide 32.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline in three separate loops in Gilchrist, Levy, and Hernando counties, Florida; replacement and upgrades to existing compressors for a net increase of 7,800 horsepower in the applicant's Compressor Station 26 in Citrus County, Florida; replacement of an existing compressor to add 2,000 horsepower at the applicant's existing Compressor Station 24 in Gilchrist County, Florida; miscellaneous modifications at upgrades to existing compressors with no increases in horsepower at the applicant's compressor stations 16, 27, and 17 in Bradford, Hillsborough, and Marion counties, Florida, respectively; a new interconnection with SNG's new mainline in Clay County, Florida; modifications to five existing metering and/or regulation stations in Clay, Polk, Bradford, and Duval counties, Florida; and new remote blowdown pipeline associated with the new pipeline loops at two locations in Levy County and two locations in Hernando County, Florida. FGT would implement the project in two phases commencing in October 2006 and concluding in May 2009. In addition to the proposed actions, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternatives, system alternatives, and pipeline route and facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of natural gas pipeline in southern Georgia and northern Florida would support increased utilization of imported LNG as a source of energy in the Southeast. LNG is recognized as an essential supply source in meeting the growing demand for natural gas in the coming years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project developments would affect 2,860 acres of land, including 2,313 acres associated with the Cypress Pipeline Project and 547 associated with the FGT project. Approximately 1,018 acres would be retained as new permanent rights-of-way. The centerline of the pipelines would cross within 15 feet of 16 water wells and construction work areas would lie within 150 feet of three additional water wells and within 270 feet of eight municipal wells operated by Hernando County, Florida. The Cypress pipelines would traverse 111 water bodies, 63 of which are perennial flows, as well as 318 acres of forested, emergent, and scrub-shrub wetlands, while FTG's pipeline facilities would 42 acres of largely scrub-shrub and emergent wetlands. Some agricultural land would be displaced. Project activities cold affect the federally projected eastern indigo snake. Visual and other recreational values along the pipeline routes would be marred by the presence of structures impeding recreation views and movements. Historic and archaeological sites, including sites eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, could be affected by pipeline construction and operation.

AN - 36388221; 11867-050552_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southern Georgia and northern Florida are proposed under the Cypress Pipeline Project and the Phase VII Expansion Project. According to the Energy Information Administration, annual natural gas consumption in the United States is expected to increase, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) comprising 15 percent of total national consumption, compared to only two percent in 2003. The Cypress Project would increase the applicant's delivery capacity to meet new storage capacity on Elba Island, while the Phase VII Expansion Project would allow its applicant to interconnect to expanded Cypress Project facilities. Under the Cypress Pipeline Project, the Southern National Gas Company (SNG) would provide 166.6 miles of new 24-inch-diameter mainline pipeline in Effingham, Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camden, and Charlton counties, Georgia and Nassau, Duval, and Clay counties, Florida; 9.8 miles of new 20-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Chatham and Effingham counties, Georgia; 0.1 mile of 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Duval County, Florida; one new 10,350-horsepower gas-turbine-driven compressor station each in Liberty and Glynn counties, Georgia and Nassau County, Florida; modifications at two existing meter stations in Chatham and Cobb counties, Georgia; expansion of one meter station in Effingham County, Georgia; installation of 16 new block valves, including 14 associated with the new mainline and two associated with the new loop; and installation of four new pig launcher/receiver facilities, including two in Effingham County, Georgia, one in Glynn County, Georgia, and one in Clay County, Florida, each collocated with new or existing meter stations or new compressor station sites. SNG would implement the project in three phases extending from October 2006 to May 2010. Under the Phase VII Expansion Project, the Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) would provide 32.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline in three separate loops in Gilchrist, Levy, and Hernando counties, Florida; replacement and upgrades to existing compressors for a net increase of 7,800 horsepower in the applicant's Compressor Station 26 in Citrus County, Florida; replacement of an existing compressor to add 2,000 horsepower at the applicant's existing Compressor Station 24 in Gilchrist County, Florida; miscellaneous modifications at upgrades to existing compressors with no increases in horsepower at the applicant's compressor stations 16, 27, and 17 in Bradford, Hillsborough, and Marion counties, Florida, respectively; a new interconnection with SNG's new mainline in Clay County, Florida; modifications to five existing metering and/or regulation stations in Clay, Polk, Bradford, and Duval counties, Florida; and new remote blowdown pipeline associated with the new pipeline loops at two locations in Levy County and two locations in Hernando County, Florida. FGT would implement the project in two phases commencing in October 2006 and concluding in May 2009.

AN - 36378475; 11867-050552_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities in southern Georgia and northern Florida are proposed under the Cypress Pipeline Project and the Phase VII Expansion Project. According to the Energy Information Administration, annual natural gas consumption in the United States is expected to increase, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) comprising 15 percent of total national consumption, compared to only two percent in 2003. The Cypress Project would increase the applicant's delivery capacity to meet new storage capacity on Elba Island, while the Phase VII Expansion Project would allow its applicant to interconnect to expanded Cypress Project facilities. Under the Cypress Pipeline Project, the Southern National Gas Company (SNG) would provide 166.6 miles of new 24-inch-diameter mainline pipeline in Effingham, Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camden, and Charlton counties, Georgia and Nassau, Duval, and Clay counties, Florida; 9.8 miles of new 20-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Chatham and Effingham counties, Georgia; 0.1 mile of 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Duval County, Florida; one new 10,350-horsepower gas-turbine-driven compressor station each in Liberty and Glynn counties, Georgia and Nassau County, Florida; modifications at two existing meter stations in Chatham and Cobb counties, Georgia; expansion of one meter station in Effingham County, Georgia; installation of 16 new block valves, including 14 associated with the new mainline and two associated with the new loop; and installation of four new pig launcher/receiver facilities, including two in Effingham County, Georgia, one in Glynn County, Georgia, and one in Clay County, Florida, each collocated with new or existing meter stations or new compressor station sites. SNG would implement the project in three phases extending from October 2006 to May 2010. Under the Phase VII Expansion Project, the Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) would provide 32.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline in three separate loops in Gilchrist, Levy, and Hernando counties, Florida; replacement and upgrades to existing compressors for a net increase of 7,800 horsepower in the applicant's Compressor Station 26 in Citrus County, Florida; replacement of an existing compressor to add 2,000 horsepower at the applicant's existing Compressor Station 24 in Gilchrist County, Florida; miscellaneous modifications at upgrades to existing compressors with no increases in horsepower at the applicant's compressor stations 16, 27, and 17 in Bradford, Hillsborough, and Marion counties, Florida, respectively; a new interconnection with SNG's new mainline in Clay County, Florida; modifications to five existing metering and/or regulation stations in Clay, Polk, Bradford, and Duval counties, Florida; and new remote blowdown pipeline associated with the new pipeline loops at two locations in Levy County and two locations in Hernando County, Florida. FGT would implement the project in two phases commencing in October 2006 and concluding in May 2009. In addition to the proposed actions, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternatives, system alternatives, and pipeline route and facility site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The addition of natural gas pipeline in southern Georgia and northern Florida would support increased utilization of imported LNG as a source of energy in the Southeast. LNG is recognized as an essential supply source in meeting the growing demand for natural gas in the coming years. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project developments would affect 2,860 acres of land, including 2,313 acres associated with the Cypress Pipeline Project and 547 associated with the FGT project. Approximately 1,018 acres would be retained as new permanent rights-of-way. The centerline of the pipelines would cross within 15 feet of 16 water wells and construction work areas would lie within 150 feet of three additional water wells and within 270 feet of eight municipal wells operated by Hernando County, Florida. The Cypress pipelines would traverse 111 water bodies, 63 of which are perennial flows, as well as 318 acres of forested, emergent, and scrub-shrub wetlands, while FTG's pipeline facilities would 42 acres of largely scrub-shrub and emergent wetlands. Some agricultural land would be displaced. Project activities cold affect the federally projected eastern indigo snake. Visual and other recreational values along the pipeline routes would be marred by the presence of structures impeding recreation views and movements. Historic and archaeological sites, including sites eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, could be affected by pipeline construction and operation.

Preparation date: December 29, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - NORTH SHORE ROAD, SWAIN AND GRAHAM COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. [Part 3 of 3] T2 - NORTH SHORE ROAD, SWAIN AND GRAHAM COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA. AN - 36389428; 11863-050548_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of North Shore road in Swain County, North Carolina is proposed. The project corridor includes a potion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the record of decision for this EIS process would serve as a general management plan amendment for the park if an alternative that is not consistent with the current park direction was adopted. In 1943, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of the Interior, and the state of North Carolina, and Swain County entered into a memorandum of agreement that dealt with the creation of Fontana Dam and Reservoir and the resultant flooding of lands and roads within the county. As part of the agreement, 44,170 acres of land were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and made part of the national park. The agreement contained a provision by which the state was to construct a road from Bryson City to the national park boundary, and the BLM was to construct a road through the park along the north shore of the newly formed Fontana Reservoir to replace flooded NC 288. The state completed its obligation n 1959, but the BLM lacked funding for road construction. Between 1948 and 1970, the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, built 7.2 miles of the proposed read, leaving 30 miles unconstructed. During the early construction efforts, it was discovered that the route of the road would be through unstable terrain, resulting in the possibility of landslides during and after construction and requiring more extensive engineering than originally supposed. A stratum subject to acid leaching was also encountered. In October 2000, Congress appropriated $16 million for construction or, and improvements to, North Shore Road. In the meantime, environmental groups have contended that construction and use of the road would harm park resources; certain of these entities support a cash settlement in lieu of the road. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The alternatives include the monetary settlement proposal, development of a Laurel Branch Picnic Area and associated access road; a partial-build alternative extending eight miles from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement, and one full-build alternatives. Two road types are under consideration, including a paved principal park road and a gravel primitive park road. Estimated costs of the monetary settlement, Laurel Branch alternative are $52 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The cost of partial-build alternative extending to Bushnell is estimated to range from $92.2 million to $148.6 million, with the low figure applying to the primitive park road design and the high figure applying to the principal park road design. The estimated costs of the full-build alternatives range from $344.9 million to $589.7 million, the figures representing the primitive and principal park road options, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the road would allow families that lived along the north shore of the Little Tennessee River prior to its acquisition by the national park access to old home sites and family cemeteries. The road would also provide economic benefits to the county via increased tourist access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional traffic in the area would affect the pristine natural appearance of the corridor along the lake. Under the build alternatives, from eight to 906 acres would be reclassified from natural environment to a transportation subzone. Vegetation and wildlife habitat, including habitat for migratory birds and the federally protected bald eagle and Indiana bat, would be permanently displaced in the construction corridor. Six historic structures and several archaeological sites could be affected by construction activities and roadway use. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail would be affected. All build alternatives would encroach on the 100-year floodplain at major stream crossings. Approximately 69 acres of wetlands would lie within the corridor affected by the project, and lakes and streams would also suffer from increased runoff and the associated pollutants.

The project corridor includes a potion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the record of decision for this EIS process would serve as a general management plan amendment for the park if an alternative that is not consistent with the current park direction was adopted. In 1943, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of the Interior, and the state of North Carolina, and Swain County entered into a memorandum of agreement that dealt with the creation of Fontana Dam and Reservoir and the resultant flooding of lands and roads within the county. As part of the agreement, 44,170 acres of land were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and made part of the national park. The agreement contained a provision by which the state was to construct a road from Bryson City to the national park boundary, and the BLM was to construct a road through the park along the north shore of the newly formed Fontana Reservoir to replace flooded NC 288. The state completed its obligation n 1959, but the BLM lacked funding for road construction. Between 1948 and 1970, the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, built 7.2 miles of the proposed read, leaving 30 miles unconstructed. During the early construction efforts, it was discovered that the route of the road would be through unstable terrain, resulting in the possibility of landslides during and after construction and requiring more extensive engineering than originally supposed. A stratum subject to acid leaching was also encountered. In October 2000, Congress appropriated $16 million for construction or, and improvements to, North Shore Road. In the meantime, environmental groups have contended that construction and use of the road would harm park resources; certain of these entities support a cash settlement in lieu of the road. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The alternatives include the monetary settlement proposal, development of a Laurel Branch Picnic Area and associated access road; a partial-build alternative extending eight miles from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement, and one full-build alternatives. Two road types are under consideration, including a paved principal park road and a gravel primitive park road. Estimated costs of the monetary settlement, Laurel Branch alternative are $52 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The cost of partial-build alternative extending to Bushnell is estimated to range from $92.2 million to $148.6 million, with the low figure applying to the primitive park road design and the high figure applying to the principal park road design. The estimated costs of the full-build alternatives range from $344.9 million to $589.7 million, the figures representing the primitive and principal park road options, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The construction of the road would allow families that lived along the north shore of the Little Tennessee River prior to its acquisition by the national park access to old home sites and family cemeteries. The road would also provide economic benefits to the county via increased tourist access. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Additional traffic in the area would affect the pristine natural appearance of the corridor along the lake. Under the build alternatives, from eight to 906 acres would be reclassified from natural environment to a transportation subzone. Vegetation and wildlife habitat, including habitat for migratory birds and the federally protected bald eagle and Indiana bat, would be permanently displaced in the construction corridor. Six historic structures and several archaeological sites could be affected by construction activities and roadway use. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail would be affected. All build alternatives would encroach on the 100-year floodplain at major stream crossings. Approximately 69 acres of wetlands would lie within the corridor affected by the project, and lakes and streams would also suffer from increased runoff and the associated pollutants.

Preparation date: December 23, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED, LOWER AMERICAN RIVER FEATURES, MAYHEW LEVEES, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36348467; 12590 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the levee within the Mayhew Levee Project Area along the south levee (left bank) of the lower American River at approximately river mile 11.5 in Sacramento County, California is proposed. The project corridor extends from the Mayhew Drain culvert upstream for 4,300 linear feet, where the levee ties into high ground. The levee is located in the lower American River Parkway on land owned and managed by Sacramento County. Constructed by local interests, the existing levee does not meet federal engineering standards. In addition, results of recent investigations indicate that the levee is currently the lowest levee along the American River levee system. This area is one of the few parts of Sacramento County that remains outside the 100-year level of flood protection along the lower American River. As a result, high flood flows in the river would tend to overtop the levee first, inundating the nearby residential area. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Like the other action alternatives, the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would combine levee and floodwall designs. The standard Corps of Engineers' levee design calls for a three horizontal-to-one vertical waterside slope, a 20-foot crown width, and a two horizontal-to-one vertical landside slope. The design requires a minimum of 10 feet of vegetation-free space on each side to permit vehicle access for routing maintenance and flood fighting activities. To create a smaller footprint, the preferred alternative would use a steeper waterside slope than that suggested by the Corps' standard. The structure would consist of 3,850 feet of levee and 450 feet of floodwall. Borrow and disposal areas would be necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed levee reconstruction project would maintain the integrity o the American River levee system, decrease potential flood damages, and ensure public safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee removal and reconstruction would result in the loss of vegetation and soils within the American River Parkway, decreasing viable wildlife habitat along with corridor. Visual aesthetics and other recreational values would be degraded by the presence of the levee and floodwall and associated structures and equipment. Draining conditions within the existing floodplain would be altered significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Water Resources Development Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-53).

[Part 3 of 4] T2 - PRADO BASIN MASTER PLAN, SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36390586; 11846-050531_0003 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a master plan for the use, development, and management of the natural and man-made resources of the Prado Dam Basin in Bernardino and Riverside counties, California is proposed. Completed in 1941, Prado Dam is a component of the Santa Ana River Project, developed to provide flood protection and water conservation storage for Orange County. The basin encompasses more than 11,500 acres, of which 4,100 acres is riparian habitat, 4,823 acres lie in designated recreation areas, and 2,400 acres falls under the jurisdiction of the Orange County Water District. Construction has begun to increase the capacity of the reservoir associated with the dam by 140,000 acre-feet, increasing the current 70-year-event level of protection to a level of the 190-year storm event, preventing $15 billion in damages in the event of a design-year flood. The ongoing changes include raising the height of the dam by 30 feet, building a new intake tower, installing improvements to the dam's outlet works, constructing dikes in the basin to protect property, and raising the height of the spillway by 20 feet. Upon completion of the dam elevation project, the flood reduction basin would be redefined from an elevation of 556 feet to an elevation of 566 feet. Master plan issues addressed include fish and wildlife habitat and populations, historic and cultural resources, vegetation impacts, aesthetics, recreation opportunities, mineral resources, and water quantity an quality. In addition to the proposed mater plan, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would provide for the orderly and coordinated use, development, and management of all resources within the existing and proposed Prado Dam flood control basin. The plan would be an essential element in fostering an efficient and cost-effective project national resources program, while promoting conservation and enhancement of natural, cultural, and man-made resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would result in the conversion of 1,034 acres of farmland to urban development and conversion of disposed recreational land to recreational land featuring a more urban character. The Prado Basin is in a seismically active area and a number of basin areas contain slopes of 15 percent of greater. Recreational developments would displace natural landscapes and otherwise place stress on wildlife ecology. Some of the numerous important and potentially important archaeological sites in the basin could be affected.

[Part 2 of 4] T2 - PRADO BASIN MASTER PLAN, SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36378212; 11846-050531_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a master plan for the use, development, and management of the natural and man-made resources of the Prado Dam Basin in Bernardino and Riverside counties, California is proposed. Completed in 1941, Prado Dam is a component of the Santa Ana River Project, developed to provide flood protection and water conservation storage for Orange County. The basin encompasses more than 11,500 acres, of which 4,100 acres is riparian habitat, 4,823 acres lie in designated recreation areas, and 2,400 acres falls under the jurisdiction of the Orange County Water District. Construction has begun to increase the capacity of the reservoir associated with the dam by 140,000 acre-feet, increasing the current 70-year-event level of protection to a level of the 190-year storm event, preventing $15 billion in damages in the event of a design-year flood. The ongoing changes include raising the height of the dam by 30 feet, building a new intake tower, installing improvements to the dam's outlet works, constructing dikes in the basin to protect property, and raising the height of the spillway by 20 feet. Upon completion of the dam elevation project, the flood reduction basin would be redefined from an elevation of 556 feet to an elevation of 566 feet. Master plan issues addressed include fish and wildlife habitat and populations, historic and cultural resources, vegetation impacts, aesthetics, recreation opportunities, mineral resources, and water quantity an quality. In addition to the proposed mater plan, this draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The master plan would provide for the orderly and coordinated use, development, and management of all resources within the existing and proposed Prado Dam flood control basin. The plan would be an essential element in fostering an efficient and cost-effective project national resources program, while promoting conservation and enhancement of natural, cultural, and man-made resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Plan implementation would result in the conversion of 1,034 acres of farmland to urban development and conversion of disposed recreational land to recreational land featuring a more urban character. The Prado Basin is in a seismically active area and a number of basin areas contain slopes of 15 percent of greater. Recreational developments would displace natural landscapes and otherwise place stress on wildlife ecology. Some of the numerous important and potentially important archaeological sites in the basin could be affected.

[Part 39 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36384932; 050147D-050510_0039 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 5 of 5] T2 - MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES TO EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FLORIDA, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT: (FINAL REVISED GENERAL REEVALUATION REPORT/SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1992). AN - 36382255; 11824-050509_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The improvements of culverts under the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41) through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. Improvements in the delivery of water from Water Conservation Area 3B of the ENP expansion area in Northeast Shark River Slough immediately south of Tamiami Trail. These improvements were documented in a final EIS issued in 1992. At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high discharge conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. This final supplement to the 1992 EIS addresses this problem and analyses nine alternative plans to protect the highway. Each alternative would involve increasing the cross-section of openings under the highway in order to minimize the rise in water level in the canal necessary to pass the required volume of water and to spread the water flow to the south as evenly as practicable. The alternatives include additional culverts under the highway, construction of one or more bridges within or outside the existing highway rights-of-way, or elevating the highway for the full 10.7-mile section within the project area. Where appropriate, an option was included for raising the highway profile on either side of the bridges or culverts to prevent subgrade damage during the rare event when full design flow would occur. In addition, each alternative would include an option to provide water quality treatment of storm water runoff from the reconstructed portions of the highway. The preliminarily recommended alternative would provide hydraulic openings through the Tamiami Trail by removing portions of the existing highway and embankment and construction of a two-mile bridge extending from the vicinity of Blue Shanty Canal to 0.5 mile east of Osceola Camp and a one-mile bridge located one-mile west of S-334. The bridges would feature two 12-foot travel lanes, two 10-foot shoulders, and safety barriers. The lower limit of the bridges would be 14.75 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Access would be provided from the bridge to the Everglades Safari and Jefferson Pilot communications sites. The 40 existing culverts under the highway not located within the footprints of the bridges would be retained to assist in the promotion of an even distribution of flow from the L-289 Canal to Everglades National Park. Construction costs related to the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; the annualized cost is estimated at $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing the hydrologic regime throughout the area and, in general, biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of a small loss of functional wetland units. Approximately 2,295 linear feet of the highway are located in a primary habitat zone and an additional 2,122 linear feet are located in a secondary zone of the Tamiami West Wood Stock colony, a federally protected species; nevertheless, construction restrictions would prevent significant impacts to habitat in these areas. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would alter an historic resource. The project would result in relatively minor impacts to the Osceola Camp, the Airboat Association of Florida, and specific airboat tour businesses. Though noise levels in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors would exceed federal standards, this would occur regardless whether the project was implemented.

[Part 32 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36382026; 050147D-050510_0032 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction.

[Part 22 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36381956; 050147D-050510_0022 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high discharge conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. This final supplement to the 1992 EIS addresses this problem and analyses nine alternative plans to protect the highway. Each alternative would involve increasing the cross-section of openings under the highway in order to minimize the rise in water level in the canal necessary to pass the required volume of water and to spread the water flow to the south as evenly as practicable. The alternatives include additional culverts under the highway, construction of one or more bridges within or outside the existing highway rights-of-way, or elevating the highway for the full 10.7-mile section within the project area. Where appropriate, an option was included for raising the highway profile on either side of the bridges or culverts to prevent subgrade damage during the rare event when full design flow would occur. In addition, each alternative would include an option to provide water quality treatment of storm water runoff from the reconstructed portions of the highway. The preliminarily recommended alternative would provide hydraulic openings through the Tamiami Trail by removing portions of the existing highway and embankment and construction of a two-mile bridge extending from the vicinity of Blue Shanty Canal to 0.5 mile east of Osceola Camp and a one-mile bridge located one-mile west of S-334. The bridges would feature two 12-foot travel lanes, two 10-foot shoulders, and safety barriers. The lower limit of the bridges would be 14.75 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Access would be provided from the bridge to the Everglades Safari and Jefferson Pilot communications sites. The 40 existing culverts under the highway not located within the footprints of the bridges would be retained to assist in the promotion of an even distribution of flow from the L-289 Canal to Everglades National Park. Construction costs related to the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; the annualized cost is estimated at $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing the hydrologic regime throughout the area and, in general, biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of a small loss of functional wetland units. Approximately 2,295 linear feet of the highway are located in a primary habitat zone and an additional 2,122 linear feet are located in a secondary zone of the Tamiami West Wood Stock colony, a federally protected species; nevertheless, construction restrictions would prevent significant impacts to habitat in these areas. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would alter an historic resource. The project would result in relatively minor impacts to the Osceola Camp, the Airboat Association of Florida, and specific airboat tour businesses. Though noise levels in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors would exceed federal standards, this would occur regardless whether the project was implemented.

[Part 20 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36377937; 050147D-050510_0020 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 38 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36374422; 050147D-050510_0038 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 2 of 5] T2 - MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES TO EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FLORIDA, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT: (FINAL REVISED GENERAL REEVALUATION REPORT/SECOND SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF 1992). AN - 36371667; 11824-050509_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The improvements of culverts under the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41) through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. Improvements in the delivery of water from Water Conservation Area 3B of the ENP expansion area in Northeast Shark River Slough immediately south of Tamiami Trail. These improvements were documented in a final EIS issued in 1992. At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high discharge conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. This final supplement to the 1992 EIS addresses this problem and analyses nine alternative plans to protect the highway. Each alternative would involve increasing the cross-section of openings under the highway in order to minimize the rise in water level in the canal necessary to pass the required volume of water and to spread the water flow to the south as evenly as practicable. The alternatives include additional culverts under the highway, construction of one or more bridges within or outside the existing highway rights-of-way, or elevating the highway for the full 10.7-mile section within the project area. Where appropriate, an option was included for raising the highway profile on either side of the bridges or culverts to prevent subgrade damage during the rare event when full design flow would occur. In addition, each alternative would include an option to provide water quality treatment of storm water runoff from the reconstructed portions of the highway. The preliminarily recommended alternative would provide hydraulic openings through the Tamiami Trail by removing portions of the existing highway and embankment and construction of a two-mile bridge extending from the vicinity of Blue Shanty Canal to 0.5 mile east of Osceola Camp and a one-mile bridge located one-mile west of S-334. The bridges would feature two 12-foot travel lanes, two 10-foot shoulders, and safety barriers. The lower limit of the bridges would be 14.75 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Access would be provided from the bridge to the Everglades Safari and Jefferson Pilot communications sites. The 40 existing culverts under the highway not located within the footprints of the bridges would be retained to assist in the promotion of an even distribution of flow from the L-289 Canal to Everglades National Park. Construction costs related to the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; the annualized cost is estimated at $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing the hydrologic regime throughout the area and, in general, biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of a small loss of functional wetland units. Approximately 2,295 linear feet of the highway are located in a primary habitat zone and an additional 2,122 linear feet are located in a secondary zone of the Tamiami West Wood Stock colony, a federally protected species; nevertheless, construction restrictions would prevent significant impacts to habitat in these areas. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would alter an historic resource. The project would result in relatively minor impacts to the Osceola Camp, the Airboat Association of Florida, and specific airboat tour businesses. Though noise levels in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors would exceed federal standards, this would occur regardless whether the project was implemented.

[Part 14 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36370198; 050147D-050510_0014 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

[Part 5 of 39] T2 - I-81 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY, VIRGINIA: FROM THE TENNESSEE BORDER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. AN - 36365876; 050147D-050510_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements along Interstate 81 (I-81) in Virginia extending 325 miles from the Tennessee border to the West Virginia border is proposed. The study corridor extends in a southwest to northeast direction from western Virginia at the Tennessee border north to the West Virginia border, passing through 21 cities and towns, and 13 counties. In addition to capacity deficiencies, the corridor is currently characterized by engineering design flaws the reduce vehicular maneuverability as well as sight distances. Accident rates along the corridor are excessive, particularly for trucks. This Tier 1 draft EIS addresses the need to increase capacity and improve safety along the corridor and evaluates conceptual-level improvements in addressing those needs. The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

The concepts evaluated include the No-Build Alternative, transportation systems management alternative, and a range of conceptual build alternatives consisting of roadway improvements and improvements to Norfolk Southern's Shenandoah and Piedmont rail lines in Virginia. The rail study area consists of 13 discrete sections along the existing rail lines, ranging in length from les than 0.5 mile to 10 miles; most of the study sections are between one and two miles. For both the rail and the highway improvements, the rights-of-way corridor was set out to extend 500 feet from either side of the facility centerline. For the highway build concepts, No Toll, Low Toll, and High Toll scenarios are assessed. Upon completion of the Tier 1 study, decisions would be made on the improvement concepts for the roadway and rail facilities; on advancing I-81 as a toll pilot under Section 1216(b) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century; on the projects with independent utility and logical termini to be studies during Tier 2; on levels of Tier 2 environmental documents for those projects; and on the location of the corridor for studying alignments during Tier 2 analyses. Costs of the rail and highway alternatives, respectively, range from $100,000 million to $3.7 billion and from $5.1 billion to $7.5 billion. Costs of combination rail/road concepts range from $5.6 billion to $8.0 billion. Separated lane highway construction costs range fro $11.2 million to $13 billion. All foregoing costs are expressed in 2005 dollars. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Addition of lanes to the I-81 corridor, as proposed, would significantly increase the capacity and safety of the facility. Adjustments to highway geometrics would further address safety problems, particularly with those related to turning speeds and sight distances. Rail improvements would decrease truck and passenger vehicle traffic within the highway corridor and reduce the associated air pollutant levels. Improved transportation would boost local economies, easing the movement of employees and other travelers and of goods and services across the state. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of over 7,000 acres of developed land, 1,000 acres of farmland, 41 to 71 acres of wetlands, 24.5 to 36.4 miles of stream, 411 to 580 acres of 100-year floodplain, 926 to 2,068 residences, 663 to 898 businesses, five community facilities, 53 to 86 parks acres of parks and other recreational lands, 12 to 34 acres of open space easements, 1,226 to 1,635 acres of battlefields, 52 to 51.5 acres within historic districts eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and 21 to 22 historic structures and one archaeological site eligible for inclusion in the register. Habitat for 13 or 13 special status species would be affected. A total of 20 block groups of minority populations and 27 low-income populations would experience disproportionate impacts. Highway facilities would mar visual aesthetic within 28 scenic areas. Nine hazardous waste sites could be encountered during construction. The levels of three transportation-related air pollutants would increase somewhat in the immediate corridor and, to a lesser degree, throughout the region.

AN - 16347342; 11824 AB - PURPOSE: The improvements of culverts under the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41) through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. Improvements in the delivery of water from Water Conservation Area 3B of the ENP expansion area in Northeast Shark River Slough immediately south of Tamiami Trail. These improvements were documented in a final EIS issued in 1992. At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high discharge conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. This final supplement to the 1992 EIS addresses this problem and analyses nine alternative plans to protect the highway. Each alternative would involve increasing the cross-section of openings under the highway in order to minimize the rise in water level in the canal necessary to pass the required volume of water and to spread the water flow to the south as evenly as practicable. The alternatives include additional culverts under the highway, construction of one or more bridges within or outside the existing highway rights-of-way, or elevating the highway for the full 10.7-mile section within the project area. Where appropriate, an option was included for raising the highway profile on either side of the bridges or culverts to prevent subgrade damage during the rare event when full design flow would occur. In addition, each alternative would include an option to provide water quality treatment of storm water runoff from the reconstructed portions of the highway. The preliminarily recommended alternative would provide hydraulic openings through the Tamiami Trail by removing portions of the existing highway and embankment and construction of a two-mile bridge extending from the vicinity of Blue Shanty Canal to 0.5 mile east of Osceola Camp and a one-mile bridge located one-mile west of S-334. The bridges would feature two 12-foot travel lanes, two 10-foot shoulders, and safety barriers. The lower limit of the bridges would be 14.75 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Access would be provided from the bridge to the Everglades Safari and Jefferson Pilot communications sites. The 40 existing culverts under the highway not located within the footprints of the bridges would be retained to assist in the promotion of an even distribution of flow from the L-289 Canal to Everglades National Park. Construction costs related to the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; the annualized cost is estimated at $9.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing the hydrologic regime throughout the area and, in general, biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of a small loss of functional wetland units. Approximately 2,295 linear feet of the highway are located in a primary habitat zone and an additional 2,122 linear feet are located in a secondary zone of the Tamiami West Wood Stock colony, a federally protected species; nevertheless, construction restrictions would prevent significant impacts to habitat in these areas. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would alter an historic resource. The project would result in relatively minor impacts to the Osceola Camp, the Airboat Association of Florida, and specific airboat tour businesses. Though noise levels in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors would exceed federal standards, this would occur regardless whether the project was implemented.

After a live-fire training exercise at Fort Richardson, Alaska, we sampled a firing point for propellant residues (NG) and the impact area for high-explosives residues (RDX, HMX, and TNT). The firing point was snow-covered soil, and the impact area was snow-covered ice. The total explosives residue mass averaged 19 mg per round at the impact plume, of which 74% was RDX, 9% was HMX, and the remainder was TNT. Approximately 6 10 4% of the explosive mass (2,990 g of Composition B per round) remained following high-order detonations. A plume sampled near a low- order detonation had near-gram quantities of explosives along its edge, 50 times the average of the other plumes, and over 300 g of HE were recovered there the following spring. At the firing point, relatively high concentrations of propellant residues were found, averaging 14 g NG. High-order detonations deposit very little explosive compounds and are not likely to be a threat to groundwater. Low-order detonations will be the major contributor of contamination on impact areas. Firing points need more study but are an area of concern.

JOHNS BASIN - NEW MADRID FLOODWAY PROJECT, MISSOURI: FIRST PHASE (REVISED SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1993). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - ST. JOHNS BASIN - NEW MADRID FLOODWAY PROJECT, MISSOURI: FIRST PHASE (REVISED SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1993). AN - 36371880; 010183F-050504_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project to reduce damages resulting from flooding of St. Johns Bayou and the New Madrid Floodway in New Madrid, Mississippi, and Scott counties, Missouri is proposed. The study area extends from northeast of East Prairie southward to New Madrid. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the April 1999 draft supplement and 2002 revised draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1985. {Natasha: I do not have the final supplement - Sept 2000 (see p. iii) - in my database} The first phase of the project would involve channel enlargements and installation of a 1,000-cubic-foot-per-second (cfs) pumping station along the lower 4.5 miles of St. Johns Bayou, beginning at New Madrid, continuing 8.1 miles along the Birds Point New Madrid Setback Levee Ditch, and ending with 7.1 miles of channel enlargement along the St. James Ditch. A component of the project consisting of selective clearing and snagging has already been completed along a 4.3-mile reach of the Setback Levee Ditch beginning at the confluence with St. James Ditch. The 1,000-cfs pumping station would be located a few hundred feet east of the existing gravity outlet at the lower end of St. Johns Bayou. The gap in the Mississippi River levee at the lower end of the New Madrid Floodway would be closed, and a 1,500-cfs pumping station and gravity structure would be built in the 1,500-foot gap at the lower end of the floodway within the levee closure. Since the filing of the final supplemental EIS in September 2000, concerns have been expressed by resource agencies and some advocacy groups that mitigation of environmental losses resulting from the project would not be appropriately mitigated. This revised supplemental EIS formulates and analyzes additional project alternatives to address those concerns. There are no changes to flood damage reduction features recommended in the 2002 revised supplement, nor are their any changes to the description of impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Alternative levee closure locations for the New Madrid Floodway are investigated and an array of pump and gate operations are also evaluated. This supplement also contains a proposal for additional measures designed to benefit the aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources within project boundaries. The components of this new proposal would establish riparian buffers along 64 miles of streams and channels, provide instream structures for fish, and establish a wildlife corridor between Big Oak Tree State Park and the Ten-Mile Pond Conservation Area. This plan would be implemented along with whatever flood control alternative were selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing flood control within the St. Johns Bayou basin and the New Madrid Floodway, the project would eliminate the physical and economic barriers created by frequent flooding in East Prairie and the surrounding area. The mitigation measures considered above would enhance aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat along the reaches of surface water associated with the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Structural measures would result in loss of natural spring over bank flooding and fish access by severing the New Madrid Floodway from the Mississippi River. The duration and frequency of Mississippi River backwater and over bank flooding passing through the 1,500-foot levee gap on approximately thousands of acres of wetlands, most of which are agricultural lands, would be reduced. Structural measures would displace floodplain land, displacing wetland and associated habitat, and the project would have significant adverse impacts on a diverse mussel community unique to southeastern Missouri. Loss of fish forage and/or habitat would affect three endangered species, namely, the interior least tern, the pallid sturgeon, and the bald eagle.

These activities involve the use of pyrotechnic, explosive, and incendiary compounds. During an initial effort, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (CHPPM) developed a Range Database for 188 chemicals of range interest specified by the U.S. Army Environmental Center. Significant gaps existed in the initial database, which included 11 priority physicochemical properties and human toxicological benchmarks. In recognition of the substantial remaining data gaps in the Range Database, this study was conducted by ERDC and CHPPM to expand the database for additional properties and human exposure parameters and to fill data gaps to the extent possible, even to include computational or estimation methods, if appropriate. The study effort was divided into five property/parameter categories: physicochemical properties for fate and transport, human exposure parameters, food transfer factors, environmental degradation rates and half-lives, and human toxicological benchmarks. The accuracy of estimation methods was evaluated. Recommendations are made for estimation methods and future research to address any remaining data gaps or to improve estimates. The data are being added to a relational database. JF - Technical Reports.

The movement of the phreatic surface depends on recharge, hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and horizontal and vertical flows. The location of the phreatic surface helps define the variably saturated flow domain in the subsurface. The variably saturated flow process in the subsurface is described by a parabolic partial differential equation. In this equation, the hydraulic conductivity and soil moisture capacity are used as the subsurface characteristics. The location of the phreatic surface is governed by a first-order partial differential equation. The governing parabolic partial differential equation is solved using a variational finite element formulation. The first order phreatic surface equation is then solved by loosely coupling with the governing parabolic partial differential equation describing the variably saturated flow. In the present study, a two-dimensional space is used to investigate the movement of the phreatic surface in a variably saturated unconfined flow domain. Based on the time-varying solutions of hydraulic heads, the location of the phreatic surface is simulated in a finite two-dimensional space.

Due to the perception of high-intensity rainfall events as occurring more frequently than expected, the Michigan Dept. of Transportation (MDOT) commissioned a study to update rainfall IDF estimates for each of seven durations (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h) and six recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years). In contrast to a traditional at-site frequency analysis using method of moments estimators, this study applied a regional frequency analysis approach based on L-moments. Data were compiled from 76 hourly recording stations and 152 daily recording stations, and trend and outlier analyses were conducted on both annual maximum series (AMS) and partial duration series (PDS) data. With the entire state considered a homogeneous region, two regional index flood models were applied: a generalized Pareto distribution fit to PDS data (PDS/GPA model), and a generalized extreme value distribution fit to AMS data (AMS/GEV model). Verification of results indicated that the revised rainfall IDF estimates provide more reliable values than those previously used.

In this study, two aerobic bacteria that are capable of using RDX as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen to support their growth were isolated from surface soil. These bacterial strains were identified by their fatty acid profiles and 16S ribosomal gene sequences as Williamsia sp. KTR4 and Gordonia sp. KTR9. The physiology of each strain was characterized with respect to the rates of RDX degradation and [U- super(14)C]RDX mineralization when RDX was supplied as a sole carbon and nitrogen source in the presence and absence of competing carbon and nitrogen sources. Strains KTR4 and KTR9 degraded 180 mu M RDX within 72 h when RDX served as the only added carbon and nitrogen source while growing to total protein concentrations of 18.6 and 16.5 mu g/ml, respectively. Mineralization of [U- super(14)C]RDX to super(14)CO sub(2) was 30% by strain KTR4 and 27% by KTR9 when RDX was the only added source of carbon and nitrogen. The addition of (NH sub(4)) sub(2)SO sub(4) greatly inhibited KTR9's degradation of RDX but had little effect on that of KTR4. These are the first two pure bacterial cultures isolated that are able to use RDX as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. These two genera possess different physiologies with respect to RDX mineralization, and each can serve as a useful microbiological model for the study of RDX biodegradation with regard to physiology, biochemistry, and genetics.

JOHNS BASIN - NEW MADRID FLOODWAY PROJECT, MISSOURI: FIRST PHASE (REVISED SUPPLEMENT TO THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1993). AN - 16343111; 11819 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a flood control project to reduce damages resulting from flooding of St. Johns Bayou and the New Madrid Floodway in New Madrid, Mississippi, and Scott counties, Missouri is proposed. The study area extends from northeast of East Prairie southward to New Madrid. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), were considered in the April 1999 draft supplement and 2002 revised draft supplement to the final EIS of June 1985. {Natasha: I do not have the final supplement - Sept 2000 (see p. iii) - in my database} The first phase of the project would involve channel enlargements and installation of a 1,000-cubic-foot-per-second (cfs) pumping station along the lower 4.5 miles of St. Johns Bayou, beginning at New Madrid, continuing 8.1 miles along the Birds Point New Madrid Setback Levee Ditch, and ending with 7.1 miles of channel enlargement along the St. James Ditch. A component of the project consisting of selective clearing and snagging has already been completed along a 4.3-mile reach of the Setback Levee Ditch beginning at the confluence with St. James Ditch. The 1,000-cfs pumping station would be located a few hundred feet east of the existing gravity outlet at the lower end of St. Johns Bayou. The gap in the Mississippi River levee at the lower end of the New Madrid Floodway would be closed, and a 1,500-cfs pumping station and gravity structure would be built in the 1,500-foot gap at the lower end of the floodway within the levee closure. Since the filing of the final supplemental EIS in September 2000, concerns have been expressed by resource agencies and some advocacy groups that mitigation of environmental losses resulting from the project would not be appropriately mitigated. This revised supplemental EIS formulates and analyzes additional project alternatives to address those concerns. There are no changes to flood damage reduction features recommended in the 2002 revised supplement, nor are their any changes to the description of impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Alternative levee closure locations for the New Madrid Floodway are investigated and an array of pump and gate operations are also evaluated. This supplement also contains a proposal for additional measures designed to benefit the aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources within project boundaries. The components of this new proposal would establish riparian buffers along 64 miles of streams and channels, provide instream structures for fish, and establish a wildlife corridor between Big Oak Tree State Park and the Ten-Mile Pond Conservation Area. This plan would be implemented along with whatever flood control alternative were selected. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing flood control within the St. Johns Bayou basin and the New Madrid Floodway, the project would eliminate the physical and economic barriers created by frequent flooding in East Prairie and the surrounding area. The mitigation measures considered above would enhance aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat along the reaches of surface water associated with the project. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Structural measures would result in loss of natural spring over bank flooding and fish access by severing the New Madrid Floodway from the Mississippi River. The duration and frequency of Mississippi River backwater and over bank flooding passing through the 1,500-foot levee gap on approximately thousands of acres of wetlands, most of which are agricultural lands, would be reduced. Structural measures would displace floodplain land, displacing wetland and associated habitat, and the project would have significant adverse impacts on a diverse mussel community unique to southeastern Missouri. Loss of fish forage and/or habitat would affect three endangered species, namely, the interior least tern, the pallid sturgeon, and the bald eagle.

AN - 36410721; 11293 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of transportation improvements in the I-70 Mountain Corridor, from mile post 116 to mile post 260, between Glenwood Springs and C-470, Garfield, Eagle, Summit, Clear Creek and Jefferson counties, Colorado is proposed. This programmatic EIS takes a broad view of the transportation issues and considers alternatives to reduce further congestion, improve mobility, and enhance safety within the corridor. The EIS enables policy decisions focusing on mode of choice, general location improvements, and combinations of improvements and their combined functioning as a system to address corridor-wide transportation issues. Tier 2, the next stage in the decision-making process, will enable decisions regarding site-specific, project-level details on alignments, high capacity transit technology, project impacts, costs, and mitigation measures after a preferred alternative has been identified. The I-90 Corridor is the only contiguous east-west highway in the study area, serving as the lifeblood of east-west travel in Colorado. Existing congestion along the corridor is degrading the accessibility of mountain travel for Colorado residents, employees, tourists, and businesses. Travel demand in the corridor is projected to increase over the next 25 years and beyond. Alternatives in three transit areas, and a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Transit options include dual-mode buses or diesel buses operating in a guideway. Highway options include a four- or six-lane highway, with a design speed of 65 miles per hour or 55 mph, respectively and reversible high-occupancy vehicle/high-occupancy/toll lanes (HOV/HOT). Alternatives representing a combination of highway and transit modes all include highway construction with rights-of-way preserved either for rail, an advanced guideway system, or dual mode buses or diesel buses operating in guideways. Currently preferred options include buses operating in a guideway, a six-lane highway, reversible HOV/HOT lanes. Preservation is defined. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternatives would provide the ability of accommodate travel demand, highway travel and transit times reductions, reduction in annual hours of congestion. Safety in the corridor would be enhanced. Project-level cost-effectiveness will be assured. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Transportation within the corridor, particularly automobile and truck traffic, would degrade air quality; displace key wildlife habitat and impede and endanger wildlife movements; degrade water quality, particularly due to storm runoff and the use of chemicals to control ice and snow; degrade fisheries, streams, riparian areas, wetlands, other waters of the US; affect visual aesthetics, displace residences and businesses, historic properties and paleontologic resource sites, recreational lands, and increase noise levels.

LOUIS BOULEVARD (MILEPOST 214), MISSOURI. AN - 36438838; 11812 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a 70-mile section of Interstate 70 II-70) from just west of Route 19 to Lake St. Louis Boulevard in Montgomery, Warren, and St. Charles counties, Missouri is proposed. A tiered approach has been taken to the improvement of I-70 in Missouri. A Tier 1 EIS examining a 200-mile section of I-70 was approved in December 2001. This draft EIS is a Tier 2 EIS. I-70 constitutes one of the most important freeways in the national interstate system, providing east-west transcontinental access across much of the United States. The facility traverses 250 miles within Missouri. Other than short reconstructed sections, the newest sections of I-70 are 39 years old. The segment of highway suffers from insufficient roadway capacity, a poor safety record, and inadequate design. Four conceptual corridors, including the existing corridor, were located in the central and eastern sections of the study corridor, and numerous alternatives were considered for 17 subsections identified during scoping. The preferred alternative would include 14 miles of widening to six lanes, 26 miles of widening to eight lanes, reconstruction of 13 interchanges, and relocation of the existing rest areas and weigh stations. Rights-of-way and construction costs of the preferred alternative are estimated at $107.1 million and $670.7 million, respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the I-70 corridor would be critical to providing a safe, efficient, and economically effective transportation network to meet traffic demands. The project would accommodate existing and future traffic volumes, increase the level of service, enhance safety and modal interconnections, ensure access management, and improve homeland security. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the partial acquisition of 488 properties and full acquisition of 111 properties, displacement of 55 residential and 43 commercial structures, and limitation of access to 46 businesses. Regarding natural resources, the project would displace 11.3 acres of floodplain land, 0.6 acre of regulatory floodway, 2.5 acres of wetlands, 0.8 acre of ponds, and 47,089 linear feet of rivers and streams. In addition, 14 sites eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places would be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 671 sensitive receptor sites. Seven wells would be lost. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601).

AN - 36391704; 11805-050490_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a special area management plan for the San Juan Creek and Western San Mateo Creek watersheds in Orange County, California is proposed. The study area covers the two watersheds located in the southern portion of the county, including portions of the cities of Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarite, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. The San Juan Creek encompasses 113,000 acres, extending from Cleveland National Forest in the Santa Ana Mountains to the Pacific Ocean at Doheny State Beach near Dana Point Harbor. The San Mateo Creek watershed study area includes the western 23.6 square miles of the 139-square-mile watershed. In addition to the required No Action Alternatives, of which there are five, this draft EIS addresses 12 action alternatives addressing development and open space provisions. The preferred alternative (Alternative B-12) would address subbasin-level guidelines and principles and overall goals and objectives based on input from the Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, and California authorities as well as the environmental community and the general public. Alternative B-12 would focus on protecting resources associated with: 1) the Chiquita Subbasin by protecting Chiquita Canyon above the San Mateo Water District treatment plant and below Tesoro High School and by protecting Chiquita Canyon west of Chiquita Creek; 2) Verdugo Canyon; 3) Sulphur Canyon and Gobernadora Creek; 4) wildlife movement along San Juan Creek; and 5) habitat linkage connectivity between the San Mateo watershed and the San Juan watershed; and 6) the vast majority of the San Mateo Creek watershed. This alternative would also concentrate development in the San Juan Creek watershed in areas with lower resource values, while continuing to protect high resource values areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B-12 would protect 7,851.5 acres of the 8,729.5 acres of riparian habitat within the study area and conserve 1,693.7 acres of the 2,174.3 acres of riparian habitats within the study planning area, including the preservation of such mainstream creeks as San Juan Creek, Chiquita Creek, Gobernadora Creek, Cristianitos Creek, La Paz Creek, Gabino Creek, Talega Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development activities would impact jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands. These wetland impacts would be mitigation by permanent protection of other wetland areas, which will fall under adaptive management regimes, as well as 18 acres of existing/created/restored wetland habitat within the Gobernadora Ecological Restoration Area.

AN - 36378640; 11805-050490_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a special area management plan for the San Juan Creek and Western San Mateo Creek watersheds in Orange County, California is proposed. The study area covers the two watersheds located in the southern portion of the county, including portions of the cities of Dana Point, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarite, San Clemente, and San Juan Capistrano. The San Juan Creek encompasses 113,000 acres, extending from Cleveland National Forest in the Santa Ana Mountains to the Pacific Ocean at Doheny State Beach near Dana Point Harbor. The San Mateo Creek watershed study area includes the western 23.6 square miles of the 139-square-mile watershed. In addition to the required No Action Alternatives, of which there are five, this draft EIS addresses 12 action alternatives addressing development and open space provisions. The preferred alternative (Alternative B-12) would address subbasin-level guidelines and principles and overall goals and objectives based on input from the Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, and California authorities as well as the environmental community and the general public. Alternative B-12 would focus on protecting resources associated with: 1) the Chiquita Subbasin by protecting Chiquita Canyon above the San Mateo Water District treatment plant and below Tesoro High School and by protecting Chiquita Canyon west of Chiquita Creek; 2) Verdugo Canyon; 3) Sulphur Canyon and Gobernadora Creek; 4) wildlife movement along San Juan Creek; and 5) habitat linkage connectivity between the San Mateo watershed and the San Juan watershed; and 6) the vast majority of the San Mateo Creek watershed. This alternative would also concentrate development in the San Juan Creek watershed in areas with lower resource values, while continuing to protect high resource values areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B-12 would protect 7,851.5 acres of the 8,729.5 acres of riparian habitat within the study area and conserve 1,693.7 acres of the 2,174.3 acres of riparian habitats within the study planning area, including the preservation of such mainstream creeks as San Juan Creek, Chiquita Creek, Gobernadora Creek, Cristianitos Creek, La Paz Creek, Gabino Creek, Talega Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development activities would impact jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands. These wetland impacts would be mitigation by permanent protection of other wetland areas, which will fall under adaptive management regimes, as well as 18 acres of existing/created/restored wetland habitat within the Gobernadora Ecological Restoration Area. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Public Works Appropriations (P.L. 94-355).

POSITIVE IMPACTS: Alternative B-12 would protect 7,851.5 acres of the 8,729.5 acres of riparian habitat within the study area and conserve 1,693.7 acres of the 2,174.3 acres of riparian habitats within the study planning area, including the preservation of such mainstream creeks as San Juan Creek, Chiquita Creek, Gobernadora Creek, Cristianitos Creek, La Paz Creek, Gabino Creek, Talega Creek. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Development activities would impact jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands. These wetland impacts would be mitigation by permanent protection of other wetland areas, which will fall under adaptive management regimes, as well as 18 acres of existing/created/restored wetland habitat within the Gobernadora Ecological Restoration Area.

AN - 68853516; 16323780 AB - Composition B (Comp B) detonation residuals pose environmental concern to the U.S. Army because hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a constituent, has contaminated groundwater near training ranges. To mimic their dissolution on surface soils, we dripped water at 0.51 ml/h onto individual Comp B particles (0.1-2.0 mg) collected from the detonation of 81-mm mortars. Analyses of the effluent indicate thatthe RDX and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in Comp B do not dissolve independently. Rather, the relatively slow dissolution of RDX controls dissolution of the particle as a whole by limiting the exposed area of TNT. Two dissolution models, a published steady-flow model and a drop-impingement model developed here, provide good agreementwith the data using RDX parameters for time scaling. They predict dissolution times of 6-600 rainfall days for 0.01-100 mg Comp B particles exposed to 0.55 cm/h rainfall rate. These models should bracket the flow regimes for dissolution of detonation residuals on soils, but they require additional data to validate them across the range of particle sizes and rainfall rates of interest.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED, LOWER AMERICAN RIVER FEATURES, MAHEW LEVEES, SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36380580; 060177D-050484_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the levee within the Mayhew Levee Project Area along the south levee (left bank) of the lower American River at approximately river mile 11.5 in Sacramento County, California is proposed. The project corridor extends from the Mayhew Drain culvert upstream for 4,300 linera feet, where the levee ties into high ground. The levee is located in the lower American River Parkway on land owned and managed by Sacramento County. Constructed by local interests, the existing levee does not meet federal engineering standards. In addition, results of recent investigations indicate that the levee is currently the lowest levee along the American River levee system. This area is one of the few parts of Sacramento County that remains outside the 100-year level of flood protection along the lower American River. As a result, high flood flows in the river would tend to overtop the levee first, inundating the nearby residential area. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. A preferred alternative has not been identified. Standard Corps of Engineers' levee design calls for a three horizontal-to-one vertical waterside slope, a 20-foot crown width, and a two horizontal-to-one vertical landside slope. The design requires a minimum of 10 feet of vegetation-free space on each side to permit vehicle access for routing maintenance and flood fighting activities. Assuming a height of eight feet to provide the design freeboard required for the project, the standard Corps levee would have a base width of 60 feet. Construction cost is estimated at $415 per linear foot. Alternatively, the levee could utilize a nonstandard-levee design, under which the waterside slope would be two horizontal on one vertical; a floodwall; and or a slurry wall. The levee could include 3,300 to 4,300 feet of standard levee, 3,300 to 3,850 feet of nonstandard levee, 450 to 1,000 feet of screened floodwall, and/or 4,300 feet of slurry wall. Borrow and disposal areas would be necessary. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed levee reconstruction project would maintain the integrity o the American River levee system, decrease potential flood damages, and ensure public safety. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee removal and reconstruction would result in the loss of acreage and native oaks in the American River Parkway, decreasing viable wildlife habitat along with corridor. Visual aesthetics and other recreational values would be degraded by the presence of the levee and associated structures and equipment. Draining conditions within the existing floodplain would be altered significantly. LEGAL MANDATES: Water Resources Development Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-53).

[Part 6 of 6] T2 - SANTA CRUZ RIVER, PASEO DE LAS IGLESIAS, PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36388244; 11792-050477_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reverse the environmental degradation of the Paseo de las Iglesias reach of the Santa Cruz River in Pima County, Arizona is proposed. The Paseo de las Iglesias reach consists of that portion of the river and its tributaries, including the New and Old West Branch tributaries, extending seven miles downstream from Los Reales Road to West Congress Street. The primary problem within the study area is the severe ecosystem degradation and loss of riparian habitat along the Santa Cruz River and its tributaries. Water once flowed perennially and supported dense growth of cottonwoods, willows, and mesquite along the reach. Increasing appropriation of surface and groundwater to support expansion of agriculture, accelerated head cutting resulting from human interference and growing urban populations resulted in the transformation of the verdant Santa Cruz riparian corridor bo a dry ephemeral was with both hardened and unstable banks. Arid Southwest riparian ecosystems are designated as critically endangered habitat. From 75 to 90 percent of all wildlife in the arid Southwest is riparian during some part of its life cycle. The recommended plan would feature irrigated plantings of mesquite and riparian shrub on terraces above the low-flow channel and in the historic floodplain, with small areas of emergent marsh and cottonwood-willow habitat located at water harvesting features scattered throughout the project. Subsurface water harvesting basins would be developed and planted at the confluences of eight tributaries and upstream of six grade control structures. A variety of methods would be used to provide permanent irrigation systems for all planted areas including the basins. Reaches characterized by steep, eroded banks would be modified by cutting back into the historic floodplain to create gentler and more stable slopes graded at a five-to-one vertical slope and planted. The recommended alternative is mesquite dominated, with 718 acres of that cover type. The plan would include decomposed granite trails, armadas, benches, parking, and trail links that would provide opportunities to a variety of recreational users. Total first cost of the recommended plan iis estimated at $90.9 million, and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.9 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.29. Though flood damage reduction opportunities were analyzed, hydrologic/hydraulic, and economic analysis indicated that flood control could not be justified. In addition to the recommended alternative, this draft EIS considers two other action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the acreage of functional riparian and floodplain habitat within the study area; increase wildlife habitat diversity by providing a mix of riparian habitats within the river corridor, riparian fringe, and historic floodplain; provide passive recreation opportunities; provide incidental benefits with respect to flood control, reduced ban erosion, reduced sedimentation, and improved surface water quality; and integrate the desires of local stakeholders consistent with federal policy and local planning efforts. Approximately 1,100 acres of riparian habitat, including 718 acres of mesquite, 356 acres of mixed meso-riparian shrub-scrub habitat, and 18 acres of cottonwood-willow and almost six acres of emergent marsh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once bank stabilization was complete, land use along the reach could include commercial and residential development that would displace natural habitat. Soil restoration activities would temporarily disturb vegetation along the entirety of the reach. Minor permanent changes to the flood conveyance capacity of the Santa Cruz River would occur, but these changes would not increase the potential for flooding.

Preparation date: November 9, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ST. LOUIS METRO SOUTH METROLINK EXTENSION, CITY OF ST. LOUIS AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI. [Part 1 of 5] T2 - ST. LOUIS METRO SOUTH METROLINK EXTENSION, CITY OF ST. LOUIS AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 36378937; 11796-050481_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Metro South Extension of the MetroLink Light Rail Transit (LRT) System into south St. Louis County, Missouri are proposed. The Metro South area encompasses 64 square miles of predominantly unincorporated St. Louis County and a portion of the city of St. Louis along the River Des Peres. The proposed project is an improvement to the transportation system of the city of St. Louis County for which the East-West Council of Governments may seek federal transit assistance. A full range of modal alternatives for the Metro South corridor was studies during the Cross-County Major Transportation Investment Analysis in 1995-1997. In September of 1997, the Council of Governments board of directors selected an LRT extension to central and southern St. Louis County. The Cross-County extension to mid-county is now under construction. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and a transportation systems management alternative, are considered for the South Metro project in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would improve access to the Metro South study area by providing convenient, reliably, high-frequency public transit. Access to employment centers would be enhanced, and travel times would decline significantly. The extension would foster well-planned, sustainable development, and the user of transit would help preserve the character of neighborhoods and communities and reduce air pollutant emissions and transportation energy consumption. Economic benefits would range from $5.0 million to $30 million per year, depending on the alternative chosen. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements could result in the displacement of 20 residences and 11 to 24 businesses, and some more extensive community disruption would be expected. Historical and archaeological properties potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places could be affected, and 1.7 to more than eight acres of land would be taken from River Des Peres Park. In addition, two alternatives would cross the Grant's Trail bike path. Up to 64 residences would be subject to LRT operational noise levels in excess of federal standards, and up to 528 properties would be affected by excessive vibration. A number of small streams would be traversed by the LRT line, and as much as 13 acres of floodplain could be displaced. Hazardous waste sites would be encountered during construction.

[Part 1 of 6] T2 - SANTA CRUZ RIVER, PASEO DE LAS IGLESIAS, PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36378872; 11792-050477_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reverse the environmental degradation of the Paseo de las Iglesias reach of the Santa Cruz River in Pima County, Arizona is proposed. The Paseo de las Iglesias reach consists of that portion of the river and its tributaries, including the New and Old West Branch tributaries, extending seven miles downstream from Los Reales Road to West Congress Street. The primary problem within the study area is the severe ecosystem degradation and loss of riparian habitat along the Santa Cruz River and its tributaries. Water once flowed perennially and supported dense growth of cottonwoods, willows, and mesquite along the reach. Increasing appropriation of surface and groundwater to support expansion of agriculture, accelerated head cutting resulting from human interference and growing urban populations resulted in the transformation of the verdant Santa Cruz riparian corridor bo a dry ephemeral was with both hardened and unstable banks. Arid Southwest riparian ecosystems are designated as critically endangered habitat. From 75 to 90 percent of all wildlife in the arid Southwest is riparian during some part of its life cycle. The recommended plan would feature irrigated plantings of mesquite and riparian shrub on terraces above the low-flow channel and in the historic floodplain, with small areas of emergent marsh and cottonwood-willow habitat located at water harvesting features scattered throughout the project. Subsurface water harvesting basins would be developed and planted at the confluences of eight tributaries and upstream of six grade control structures. A variety of methods would be used to provide permanent irrigation systems for all planted areas including the basins. Reaches characterized by steep, eroded banks would be modified by cutting back into the historic floodplain to create gentler and more stable slopes graded at a five-to-one vertical slope and planted. The recommended alternative is mesquite dominated, with 718 acres of that cover type. The plan would include decomposed granite trails, armadas, benches, parking, and trail links that would provide opportunities to a variety of recreational users. Total first cost of the recommended plan iis estimated at $90.9 million, and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.9 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.29. Though flood damage reduction opportunities were analyzed, hydrologic/hydraulic, and economic analysis indicated that flood control could not be justified. In addition to the recommended alternative, this draft EIS considers two other action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the acreage of functional riparian and floodplain habitat within the study area; increase wildlife habitat diversity by providing a mix of riparian habitats within the river corridor, riparian fringe, and historic floodplain; provide passive recreation opportunities; provide incidental benefits with respect to flood control, reduced ban erosion, reduced sedimentation, and improved surface water quality; and integrate the desires of local stakeholders consistent with federal policy and local planning efforts. Approximately 1,100 acres of riparian habitat, including 718 acres of mesquite, 356 acres of mixed meso-riparian shrub-scrub habitat, and 18 acres of cottonwood-willow and almost six acres of emergent marsh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once bank stabilization was complete, land use along the reach could include commercial and residential development that would displace natural habitat. Soil restoration activities would temporarily disturb vegetation along the entirety of the reach. Minor permanent changes to the flood conveyance capacity of the Santa Cruz River would occur, but these changes would not increase the potential for flooding.

AN - 36378620; 11796-050481_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Metro South Extension of the MetroLink Light Rail Transit (LRT) System into south St. Louis County, Missouri are proposed. The Metro South area encompasses 64 square miles of predominantly unincorporated St. Louis County and a portion of the city of St. Louis along the River Des Peres. The proposed project is an improvement to the transportation system of the city of St. Louis County for which the East-West Council of Governments may seek federal transit assistance. A full range of modal alternatives for the Metro South corridor was studies during the Cross-County Major Transportation Investment Analysis in 1995-1997. In September of 1997, the Council of Governments board of directors selected an LRT extension to central and southern St. Louis County. The Cross-County extension to mid-county is now under construction. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and a transportation systems management alternative, are considered for the South Metro project in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would improve access to the Metro South study area by providing convenient, reliably, high-frequency public transit. Access to employment centers would be enhanced, and travel times would decline significantly. The extension would foster well-planned, sustainable development, and the user of transit would help preserve the character of neighborhoods and communities and reduce air pollutant emissions and transportation energy consumption. Economic benefits would range from $5.0 million to $30 million per year, depending on the alternative chosen. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements could result in the displacement of 20 residences and 11 to 24 businesses, and some more extensive community disruption would be expected. Historical and archaeological properties potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places could be affected, and 1.7 to more than eight acres of land would be taken from River Des Peres Park. In addition, two alternatives would cross the Grant's Trail bike path. Up to 64 residences would be subject to LRT operational noise levels in excess of federal standards, and up to 528 properties would be affected by excessive vibration. A number of small streams would be traversed by the LRT line, and as much as 13 acres of floodplain could be displaced. Hazardous waste sites would be encountered during construction. LRT structures would mar visual aesthetics in some areas.

[Part 2 of 6] T2 - SANTA CRUZ RIVER, PASEO DE LAS IGLESIAS, PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. AN - 36373282; 11792-050477_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to reverse the environmental degradation of the Paseo de las Iglesias reach of the Santa Cruz River in Pima County, Arizona is proposed. The Paseo de las Iglesias reach consists of that portion of the river and its tributaries, including the New and Old West Branch tributaries, extending seven miles downstream from Los Reales Road to West Congress Street. The primary problem within the study area is the severe ecosystem degradation and loss of riparian habitat along the Santa Cruz River and its tributaries. Water once flowed perennially and supported dense growth of cottonwoods, willows, and mesquite along the reach. Increasing appropriation of surface and groundwater to support expansion of agriculture, accelerated head cutting resulting from human interference and growing urban populations resulted in the transformation of the verdant Santa Cruz riparian corridor bo a dry ephemeral was with both hardened and unstable banks. Arid Southwest riparian ecosystems are designated as critically endangered habitat. From 75 to 90 percent of all wildlife in the arid Southwest is riparian during some part of its life cycle. The recommended plan would feature irrigated plantings of mesquite and riparian shrub on terraces above the low-flow channel and in the historic floodplain, with small areas of emergent marsh and cottonwood-willow habitat located at water harvesting features scattered throughout the project. Subsurface water harvesting basins would be developed and planted at the confluences of eight tributaries and upstream of six grade control structures. A variety of methods would be used to provide permanent irrigation systems for all planted areas including the basins. Reaches characterized by steep, eroded banks would be modified by cutting back into the historic floodplain to create gentler and more stable slopes graded at a five-to-one vertical slope and planted. The recommended alternative is mesquite dominated, with 718 acres of that cover type. The plan would include decomposed granite trails, armadas, benches, parking, and trail links that would provide opportunities to a variety of recreational users. Total first cost of the recommended plan iis estimated at $90.9 million, and annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.9 million. The benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.29. Though flood damage reduction opportunities were analyzed, hydrologic/hydraulic, and economic analysis indicated that flood control could not be justified. In addition to the recommended alternative, this draft EIS considers two other action alternatives and a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would increase the acreage of functional riparian and floodplain habitat within the study area; increase wildlife habitat diversity by providing a mix of riparian habitats within the river corridor, riparian fringe, and historic floodplain; provide passive recreation opportunities; provide incidental benefits with respect to flood control, reduced ban erosion, reduced sedimentation, and improved surface water quality; and integrate the desires of local stakeholders consistent with federal policy and local planning efforts. Approximately 1,100 acres of riparian habitat, including 718 acres of mesquite, 356 acres of mixed meso-riparian shrub-scrub habitat, and 18 acres of cottonwood-willow and almost six acres of emergent marsh. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once bank stabilization was complete, land use along the reach could include commercial and residential development that would displace natural habitat. Soil restoration activities would temporarily disturb vegetation along the entirety of the reach. Minor permanent changes to the flood conveyance capacity of the Santa Cruz River would occur, but these changes would not increase the potential for flooding.

Preparation date: November 9, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ST. LOUIS METRO SOUTH METROLINK EXTENSION, CITY OF ST. LOUIS AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MISSOURI. AN - 16354702; 11796 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of the Metro South Extension of the MetroLink Light Rail Transit (LRT) System into south St. Louis County, Missouri are proposed. The Metro South area encompasses 64 square miles of predominantly unincorporated St. Louis County and a portion of the city of St. Louis along the River Des Peres. The proposed project is an improvement to the transportation system of the city of St. Louis County for which the East-West Council of Governments may seek federal transit assistance. A full range of modal alternatives for the Metro South corridor was studies during the Cross-County Major Transportation Investment Analysis in 1995-1997. In September of 1997, the Council of Governments board of directors selected an LRT extension to central and southern St. Louis County. The Cross-County extension to mid-county is now under construction. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative and a transportation systems management alternative, are considered for the South Metro project in this draft EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed extension would improve access to the Metro South study area by providing convenient, reliably, high-frequency public transit. Access to employment centers would be enhanced, and travel times would decline significantly. The extension would foster well-planned, sustainable development, and the user of transit would help preserve the character of neighborhoods and communities and reduce air pollutant emissions and transportation energy consumption. Economic benefits would range from $5.0 million to $30 million per year, depending on the alternative chosen. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements could result in the displacement of 20 residences and 11 to 24 businesses, and some more extensive community disruption would be expected. Historical and archaeological properties potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places could be affected, and 1.7 to more than eight acres of land would be taken from River Des Peres Park. In addition, two alternatives would cross the Grant's Trail bike path. Up to 64 residences would be subject to LRT operational noise levels in excess of federal standards, and up to 528 properties would be affected by excessive vibration. A number of small streams would be traversed by the LRT line, and as much as 13 acres of floodplain could be displaced. Hazardous waste sites would be encountered during construction. LRT structures would mar visual aesthetics in some areas.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR, KANSAS CITY TO ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, MISSOURI: SECOND TIER EIS AND SECTION 4(F) EVALUATION: ROUTE BB TO EASTERN COLUMBIA, BOONE COUNTY, MISSOURI (SECTION OF INDEPENMDENT UTILITY NUMBER 4). AN - 36388716; 11793-050478_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 18-mile segment of Interstate 70 (I-70) from just east of the Missouri Route BB interchange (Exit 115) to just east of the Missouri Route Z interchange (Exist 133) in Boone County, Missouri is proposed. A tiered approach has been taken to the improvement of I-70 in Missouri. A Tier 1 EIS examining a 200-mile section of I-70 was approved in December 2001. This final EIS is a Tier 2 EIS. The section of I-70 considered in this EIS consists of a four-lane divided highway spanning the entire width of Boone County, with limited access control and including 10 interchanges. The preferred alternative would reconstruct I-70 within the existing corridor. The reconstructed highway would provide additional through lanes, redesigned interchanges, and other improvements to ensure that I-70 would meet the requirements of an interstate highway. I-70 constitutes one of the most important freeways in the national interstate system, providing east-west transcontinental access across much of the United States. The facility traverses 250 miles within Missouri. Other than short reconstructed sections, the newest sections of I-70 are 39 years old. The segment of highway suffers from insufficient roadway capacity, a poor safety record, and inadequate design. The section has been divided into three subsections considered separately. The reconstructed highway would provide three through lanes in each direction and improved interchanges to ensure full control of access. Frontage roads would provide for local access, and noise barriers would be provided where necessary and feasible. Costs of rights-of-way and construction are estimated at $627.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the I-70 corridor would be critical to providing a safe, efficient, and economically effective transportation network to meet traffic demands. The project would accommodate existing and future traffic volumes, increase the level of service, enhance safety and modal interconnections, ensure access management, and improve homeland security. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements totaling 397 acres would result in the displacement of 298 residences, 66 businesses, nine industrial establishments, 249 acres of agricultural land and forest, 11 acres of parks and other publicly owned parcels, five important community facilities and 15 acres of related lands, and 11 institutional facilities. With respect to the natural environment, the project would displace 8.3 acres of wetlands, 2.2 acres of ponds, 72 acres of floodplain, and 143 acres of natural communities. The highway would traverse 73 streams. Habitat for federally protected species would be affected. The Bowling Napier Estate, which is eligible for inclusion in the National register of Historic Places, would be affected. Construction workers would encounter 15 sites potentially containing hazardous materials. The ability to accommodate expansion of the freeway would be limited.

[Part 35 of 43] T2 - REUSE THE MARE ISLAND DREDGED MATERIAL DISOPSAL PONDS AS A CONFINED UPLAND DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL FACILITY, CITY OF CALLEJO, SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36381615; 060164F-050474_0035 AB - PURPOSE: The reuse of the Mare Island dredged material disposal ponds in the city of Vallejo, Salano County, California as a confined upland disposal facility is proposed. Mare Island encompasses 1,465 acres of dry land and 5,252 acres of tidal and *nontidal wetlands, submerged lands, and dredged material disposal ponds and extends 3.5 miles and is one mile wide at some points; it is bounded by the Napa River and Mare Island Strait to the east, Carquinez Strait to south, and San Pablo Island to the west. The island was the site of the U.S. Navy's Mare Island Naval Shipyard, which was closed on April 1, 1996. The island The disposal ponds were used by the Navy for disposal of dredged material associated with the operation of the shipyard. The ponds were identified in a number of planning and conservation documents as a candidate site for an upland disposal/beneficial reuse facility for dredged material. The project proponents, Weston Solutions, Inc. and the city, would operate seven of the existing ponds as a regional commercial facility for the disposal of dredged material generated by public and private projects throughout the San Francisco Ba area. Dredged material accepted at the facility would be either suitable for unconfined aquatic disposal of unsuitable for such disposal. Unsuitable material would be limited to sediment meeting the Mare Island acceptance criteria, based primarily on existing conditions. Three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve the use of seven ponds (2N, 2M, 2S, 4N, 4M, 4S, and 7). The pond levees would be raised over time to final elevations ranging from 29 to 38 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, achieving a disposal capacity of 9.3 million cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse plan would support goals related to disposal of dredged materials in the San Francisco Bay region at an upland site to minimize dredged materials going into the bay or the ocean and for beneficial reuse of the material. In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

AN - 36381003; 060164F-050474_0036 AB - PURPOSE: The reuse of the Mare Island dredged material disposal ponds in the city of Vallejo, Salano County, California as a confined upland disposal facility is proposed. Mare Island encompasses 1,465 acres of dry land and 5,252 acres of tidal and *nontidal wetlands, submerged lands, and dredged material disposal ponds and extends 3.5 miles and is one mile wide at some points; it is bounded by the Napa River and Mare Island Strait to the east, Carquinez Strait to south, and San Pablo Island to the west. The island was the site of the U.S. Navy's Mare Island Naval Shipyard, which was closed on April 1, 1996. The island The disposal ponds were used by the Navy for disposal of dredged material associated with the operation of the shipyard. The ponds were identified in a number of planning and conservation documents as a candidate site for an upland disposal/beneficial reuse facility for dredged material. The project proponents, Weston Solutions, Inc. and the city, would operate seven of the existing ponds as a regional commercial facility for the disposal of dredged material generated by public and private projects throughout the San Francisco Ba area. Dredged material accepted at the facility would be either suitable for unconfined aquatic disposal of unsuitable for such disposal. Unsuitable material would be limited to sediment meeting the Mare Island acceptance criteria, based primarily on existing conditions. Three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve the use of seven ponds (2N, 2M, 2S, 4N, 4M, 4S, and 7). The pond levees would be raised over time to final elevations ranging from 29 to 38 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, achieving a disposal capacity of 9.3 million cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse plan would support goals related to disposal of dredged materials in the San Francisco Bay region at an upland site to minimize dredged materials going into the bay or the ocean and for beneficial reuse of the material. In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

AN - 36380458; 060164F-050474_0031 AB - PURPOSE: The reuse of the Mare Island dredged material disposal ponds in the city of Vallejo, Salano County, California as a confined upland disposal facility is proposed. Mare Island encompasses 1,465 acres of dry land and 5,252 acres of tidal and *nontidal wetlands, submerged lands, and dredged material disposal ponds and extends 3.5 miles and is one mile wide at some points; it is bounded by the Napa River and Mare Island Strait to the east, Carquinez Strait to south, and San Pablo Island to the west. The island was the site of the U.S. Navy's Mare Island Naval Shipyard, which was closed on April 1, 1996. The island The disposal ponds were used by the Navy for disposal of dredged material associated with the operation of the shipyard. The ponds were identified in a number of planning and conservation documents as a candidate site for an upland disposal/beneficial reuse facility for dredged material. The project proponents, Weston Solutions, Inc. and the city, would operate seven of the existing ponds as a regional commercial facility for the disposal of dredged material generated by public and private projects throughout the San Francisco Ba area. Dredged material accepted at the facility would be either suitable for unconfined aquatic disposal of unsuitable for such disposal. Unsuitable material would be limited to sediment meeting the Mare Island acceptance criteria, based primarily on existing conditions. Three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would involve the use of seven ponds (2N, 2M, 2S, 4N, 4M, 4S, and 7). The pond levees would be raised over time to final elevations ranging from 29 to 38 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, achieving a disposal capacity of 9.3 million cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse plan would support goals related to disposal of dredged materials in the San Francisco Bay region at an upland site to minimize dredged materials going into the bay or the ocean and for beneficial reuse of the material. In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse plan would support goals related to disposal of dredged materials in the San Francisco Bay region at an upland site to minimize dredged materials going into the bay or the ocean and for beneficial reuse of the material. In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

The pond levees would be raised over time to final elevations ranging from 29 to 38 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, achieving a disposal capacity of 9.3 million cubic yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reuse plan would support goals related to disposal of dredged materials in the San Francisco Bay region at an upland site to minimize dredged materials going into the bay or the ocean and for beneficial reuse of the material. In addition, the plan would support the regional need for an upland disposal site to place dredged materials that are unsuitable for aquatic disposal, support federal commitments related to the closure of the shipyard, enable the beneficial reuse of surplus government property, and implement the base reuse plan. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Levee slope and seismic stability, settlement of dredged materials, decreased water quality during construction and due to runoff and spillage during operations, alteration of drainage patterns, risk of flooding, violation of effluent limits, wetland degradation, and disturbance or loss of habitat for special status fish and terrestrial species, including migratory water flow, would be concerns, but these problems would be assessed further and addressed before the outset of disposal activities. The area would suffer from increased noise levels and degraded visual aesthetics, as well as occasional releases of unpleasant odors. LEGAL MANDATES: Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10.

LOUIS, MISSOURI, MISSOURI: SECOND TIER EIS AND SECTION 4(F) EVALUATION: ROUTE BB TO EASTERN COLUMBIA, BOONE COUNTY, MISSOURI (SECTION OF INDEPENMDENT UTILITY NUMBER 4). AN - 16339129; 11793 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of an 18-mile segment of Interstate 70 (I-70) from just east of the Missouri Route BB interchange (Exit 115) to just east of the Missouri Route Z interchange (Exist 133) in Boone County, Missouri is proposed. A tiered approach has been taken to the improvement of I-70 in Missouri. A Tier 1 EIS examining a 200-mile section of I-70 was approved in December 2001. This final EIS is a Tier 2 EIS. The section of I-70 considered in this EIS consists of a four-lane divided highway spanning the entire width of Boone County, with limited access control and including 10 interchanges. The preferred alternative would reconstruct I-70 within the existing corridor. The reconstructed highway would provide additional through lanes, redesigned interchanges, and other improvements to ensure that I-70 would meet the requirements of an interstate highway. I-70 constitutes one of the most important freeways in the national interstate system, providing east-west transcontinental access across much of the United States. The facility traverses 250 miles within Missouri. Other than short reconstructed sections, the newest sections of I-70 are 39 years old. The segment of highway suffers from insufficient roadway capacity, a poor safety record, and inadequate design. The section has been divided into three subsections considered separately. The reconstructed highway would provide three through lanes in each direction and improved interchanges to ensure full control of access. Frontage roads would provide for local access, and noise barriers would be provided where necessary and feasible. Costs of rights-of-way and construction are estimated at $627.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The improvements to the I-70 corridor would be critical to providing a safe, efficient, and economically effective transportation network to meet traffic demands. The project would accommodate existing and future traffic volumes, increase the level of service, enhance safety and modal interconnections, ensure access management, and improve homeland security. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements totaling 397 acres would result in the displacement of 298 residences, 66 businesses, nine industrial establishments, 249 acres of agricultural land and forest, 11 acres of parks and other publicly owned parcels, five important community facilities and 15 acres of related lands, and 11 institutional facilities. With respect to the natural environment, the project would displace 8.3 acres of wetlands, 2.2 acres of ponds, 72 acres of floodplain, and 143 acres of natural communities. The highway would traverse 73 streams. Habitat for federally protected species would be affected. The Bowling Napier Estate, which is eligible for inclusion in the National register of Historic Places, would be affected. Construction workers would encounter 15 sites potentially containing hazardous materials. The ability to accommodate expansion of the freeway would be limited.

AN - 36440093; 11788 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of benchmark flood control and fish operations at Libby Dam and Hungry Horse Dam in northwestern Montana is proposed. Such operations are under considering for the purpose of providing reservoir and flow conditions at and below these dames for the benefit of fish listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, consistent with authorized project purposes, including maintaining the current level of flood control benefits. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to flood control and related impacts, fisheries and other biological impacts and benefits, water and air quality, cultural resources, recreation resources, power generation, and economics. Alternatives have been outlined for the both dams, and the mainstream of the Columbia River. Preferred alternatives have been identified at each of the aforementioned project sites. The preferred alternative for the Libby Dam would provide for a variable discharge (VARQ) flood control operations with sturgeon, bull trout, and salmon flow augmentation. Sturgeon flow augmentation would provide tiered sturgeon volumes from the 2000 United States Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinion using a maximum dam discharge rate up to the existing powerhouse capacity for 25,000 cubic feet per second. This plan has been the interim operation plan at the dam since 2003. The preferred alternative for Hungry Horse Dam would provide for VARQ flood control operations with bull trout and salmon augmentation flows. Once again, this is the current interim operating plan for this dam. POSITIVE IMPACTS: While providing management regimes that benefit several species of endangered and threatened fish, the flow plans would improve water quality and fisheries and other biological components of the Columbia River basin ecosystem, provide protection to cultural resources and recreation resources, and continue to allow for full flood protection and power generation, thereby contributing to the local and regional economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Possibly flooding related to dam operations would continue, since the structures and reservoirs cannot prevent flooding under all circumstances; flooding would affect the Kootenai and Orielle river basins and the mainstream of the Columbia River. Heat storage would increase in reservoirs, and water quality would continue to be less than under a free-flowing river regime. Power generation could be reduced along the mainstream during winter. Bank erosion along the reservoir shorelines and river banks would continue, affecting terrestrial habitat and cultural resource sites. Agricultural drainage costs would increase along the Kootenai River, and groundwater seepage would result in further agricultural losses.

AN - 36440067; 11736 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the Legacy Parkway, extending 14 miles from Interstate 215 (I-215) at 2100 North in Salt Lake City to the intersection of I-15 and U.S. 89 near Farmington in Salt Lake and Davis Counties, Utah is proposed. The four-lane, limited-access, divided highway would be constructed to provide a portion of the highway facilities needed in the North Corridor for the year 2020. A multiple-use trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians would parallel the highway. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, and a number of other options were considered in the December 2004 final EIS. Alternative A, the easternmost alternative, would include two frontage roads and, under one option, would extend from south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful to north of Parrish Lane in Centerville. Alternative B, the westernmost alignment, in North Salt Lake and Farmington, would include four frontage roads. Termini for Alternative B would be the I-15/U.S. 89 interchange and I-15 in Kaysville; a split connection would branch off in the vicinity of Lund Lane in Farmington. Alternative C, which is the westernmost alignment in Centerville, would include two frontage roads. Option C1 would lie west of Sheep Road and extend from approximately two miles north of Parrish Lane to approximately 0.6 mile south of Lund Lane in Centerville. Option C2 would extend from Center Street to a point approximately 0.9 mile north of 900 North in North Salt Lake City; it would lie 328 feet west of Alternative C. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would consist of a combination of alternatives A and C. South of 900 North in Woods Cross, the PA would follow the Alternative C alignment. Just north of 900 North, the PA alignment would transition to the Alternative A alignment. The PA would continue on the alternative A alignment to a point just north of 500 South in West Bountiful, then transition to an alignment approximately 263 feet east of and parallel to Alternative C. Alternative D would rejoin Alternative C just south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful and remain conterminous with Alternative C to Porter Land in Davis County. At this point, Alternative D would transition east and coincide with Alternative A just south of Parrish Lane in Centerville. From this point to the I-15/U.S. 89 interchange, the PA would be coterminous with Alternative A. This final supplement to the final EIS provides updated information and responds to a U.S. Court of Appears judgment indicating that the following issues were in need of further review: the practability of a narrower rights-of-way; elimination of one alignment as a feasible alternative based on cost and substantial impacts on existing development; integration of Legacy Parkway with the mass transit system; alternative certain project sequencing of components; and impacts on wildlife. The supplement addresses alternatives considered in the final EIS, additional alternatives, alternative means of implementing Legacy parkway, and modified build and no-build alternatives. Five action alternatives remain for detailed consideration and Alternative D, in a modified form, continues to be the preferred alternative. Estimated costs of the remaining build alternatives range from $436.1 million to $547.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The parkway would provide for safe and efficient movement of people and goods project for the area through the year 2020. The facility would also provide an alternative north-south route through the North Corridor for use when I-15 is closed or congested. An additional high-speed route for emergency vehicles would be available. The parkway would constitute a buffer zone between developed areas the the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. A significant expanse of potentially developable land would lie adjacent to the alignments under consideration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative considered, the project would result in the filling of 107 to 182 acres of wetlands and indirect impacts to 539 to 1,011 acres of wetlands. Rights-of-way development would also result in the displacement of four to 17 residences, nine to 16 businesses, up to two farmsteads, eight to 16 horse paddocks, 23 to 88 acres of prime farmland, and up to two acres of farmland of state importance. Two or three archaeological sites and two historic sites as well as an off-highway vehicle corridor along the Jordan River would be affected, and as many as one wildlife management area could be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 250 to 486 sensitive receptor sites.

[Part 1 of 3] T2 - LEGACY PARKWAY, I-215 AT 2100 NORTH IN SALT LAKE CITY TO I-15 AND U.S. 89 NEAR FARMINGTON IN SALT LAKE AND DAVIS COUNTIES, UTAH (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO TE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF JUNE 2000). AN - 36368256; 050143F-050466_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Construction of the Legacy Parkway, extending 14 miles from Interstate 215 (I-215) at 2100 North in Salt Lake City to the intersection of I-15 and U.S. 89 near Farmington in Salt Lake and Davis Counties, Utah is proposed. The four-lane, limited-access, divided highway would be constructed to provide a portion of the highway facilities needed in the North Corridor for the year 2020. A multiple-use trail for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians would parallel the highway. Five alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, and a number of other options were considered in the December 2004 final EIS. Alternative A, the easternmost alternative, would include two frontage roads and, under one option, would extend from south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful to north of Parrish Lane in Centerville. Alternative B, the westernmost alignment, in North Salt Lake and Farmington, would include four frontage roads. Termini for Alternative B would be the I-15/U.S. 89 interchange and I-15 in Kaysville; a split connection would branch off in the vicinity of Lund Lane in Farmington. Alternative C, which is the westernmost alignment in Centerville, would include two frontage roads. Option C1 would lie west of Sheep Road and extend from approximately two miles north of Parrish Lane to approximately 0.6 mile south of Lund Lane in Centerville. Option C2 would extend from Center Street to a point approximately 0.9 mile north of 900 North in North Salt Lake City; it would lie 328 feet west of Alternative C. The preferred alternative (Alternative D) would consist of a combination of alternatives A and C. South of 900 North in Woods Cross, the PA would follow the Alternative C alignment. Just north of 900 North, the PA alignment would transition to the Alternative A alignment. The PA would continue on the alternative A alignment to a point just north of 500 South in West Bountiful, then transition to an alignment approximately 263 feet east of and parallel to Alternative C. Alternative D would rejoin Alternative C just south of Pages Lane in West Bountiful and remain conterminous with Alternative C to Porter Land in Davis County. At this point, Alternative D would transition east and coincide with Alternative A just south of Parrish Lane in Centerville. From this point to the I-15/U.S. 89 interchange, the PA would be coterminous with Alternative A. This final supplement to the final EIS provides updated information and responds to a U.S. Court of Appears judgment indicating that the following issues were in need of further review: the practability of a narrower rights-of-way; elimination of one alignment as a feasible alternative based on cost and substantial impacts on existing development; integration of Legacy Parkway with the mass transit system; alternative certain project sequencing of components; and impacts on wildlife. The supplement addresses alternatives considered in the final EIS, additional alternatives, alternative means of implementing Legacy parkway, and modified build and no-build alternatives. Five action alternatives remain for detailed consideration and Alternative D, in a modified form, continues to be the preferred alternative. Estimated costs of the remaining build alternatives range from $436.1 million to $547.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The parkway would provide for safe and efficient movement of people and goods project for the area through the year 2020. The facility would also provide an alternative north-south route through the North Corridor for use when I-15 is closed or congested. An additional high-speed route for emergency vehicles would be available. The parkway would constitute a buffer zone between developed areas the the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. A significant expanse of potentially developable land would lie adjacent to the alignments under consideration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Depending on the build alternative considered, the project would result in the filling of 107 to 182 acres of wetlands and indirect impacts to 539 to 1,011 acres of wetlands. Rights-of-way development would also result in the displacement of four to 17 residences, nine to 16 businesses, up to two farmsteads, eight to 16 horse paddocks, 23 to 88 acres of prime farmland, and up to two acres of farmland of state importance. Two or three archaeological sites and two historic sites as well as an off-highway vehicle corridor along the Jordan River would be affected, and as many as one wildlife management area could be affected. Traffic-generated noise would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 250 to 486 sensitive receptor sites.

Residue-covered snow samples were collected, processed, and analyzed for explosives without cross-contamination from previous detonations and other potential matrix interferences. Detonation trials were performed following standard military live-fire and blow-in-place techniques. When possible, replicate munitions were detonated under similar conditions to provide a more reliable estimation of the mass of unconsumed high explosive residues. Overall the amount of energetic residues deposited from live-fire detonations were considerably less than the energetic residues deposited by blow-in-place detonations.

Within the REMR program is a group of projects dedicated to the development of computerized maintenance management systems for coastal and inland waterway navigational structures. The general intent of these REMR Management Systems is to provide maintenance managers at all levels with tools to promote easier and more effective maintenance and budget planning. Additional objectives are to create uniform procedures for assessing the condition of structures and to create assessment methods that will allow the condition of structures, and their parts, to be expressed numerically to take best advantage of the benefits available from the use of microcomputers in maintenance management. The condition and performance rating procedures described here evolved over several years through the joint effort of a number of people throughout the Corps coastal operations and maintenance (O&M), engineering, and research community. Representatives of each Coastal Engineer Division have been part of the advisory group guiding the project, and suggestions from people in every Coastal Engineer District have been used to produce the rating system documented here. It is expected that field application of these condition rating procedures will lead to further refinement and improvement over time. JF - Technical Report.

We quantified and compared the aerobic environmental fate of CL-20 to the widely used cyclic nitramine explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in surface and subsurface soil microcosms. Soil-free controls and biologically attenuated soil controls were used to separate abiotic processes from biologically mediated processes. Both abiotic and biological processes significantly degraded CL-20 in all soils examined. Apparent abiotic, first-order degradation rates (k) for CL-20 were not significantly different between soil-free controls (0.018 < k < 0.030 d super(-1)) and biologically attenuated soil controls (0.003 < k < 0.277 d super(-1)). The addition of glucose to biologically active soil microcosms significantly increased CL-20 degradation rates (0.068 < k < 1.22 d super(-1)). Extents of mineralization of super(14)C-CL-20 to super(14)CO sub(2) in biologically active soil microcosms were 41.1 to 55.7%, indicating that the CL-20 cage was broken, since all carbons are part of the heterocyclic cage. Under aerobic conditions, abiotic degradation rates of RDX were generally slower (0 < k < 0.032 d super(-1)) than abiotic CL-20 degradation rates. In biologically active soil microcosms amended with glucose aerobic RDX degradation rates varied between 0.010 and 0.474 d super(-1). Biodegradation was a key factor in determining the environmental fate of RDX, while a combination of biotic and abiotic processes was important with CL-20. Our data suggest that CL-20 should be less recalcitrant than RDX in aerobic soils.

Lead-specific catalytic DNA (DNAzyme) cleaves its complementary substrate DNA strand in the presence of only cationic lead (Pb super(2+)). Fluorescent tags on the substrate DNA transduce the Pb super(2+) concentration to a measurable, optical signal. The DNAzyme responds sensitively and selectively to Pb super(2+) but lacks activity toward other divalent cations. The on-chip preparative separation of Pb super(2+) is achieved by a nano/microfluidic system. It has a hybrid three-dimensional fluidic structure that incorporates a nuclear track-etched nanocapillary membrane between two crossed, spatially separated, poly (dimethylsilox-ane)(PDMS) microfluidic channels. This allows for reliable sample injection, electrophoretic separation, and isolated delivery of Pb super(2+) to the DNAzyme in a spatially confined detection window where the fluorescent substrate fragments are interrogated using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). In addition to Pb super(2+), the migration times of individual heavy metal ions Mn super(2+), Co super(2+), Cu super(2+), Cd super(2+), Zn super(2+), and Ni super(2+) were investigated using on-chip contactless conductivity detection in a nano/microfluidic device. The ability to separate and deliver desired analytes to the DNAzymes will be shown. This method provides a new means for rapid and reliable determination of Pb super(2+) in a microchip format. Successful applications to real environmental samples are demonstrated. This general approach can be extended to further applications including creation of field sensors for additional compounds of environmental concern including other heavy metals, explosives, and depleted uranium.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 12, US 12/WIS 26 NORTH FORT ATKINSON INTERCHANGE TO WHITEWATER BYPASS, ROCK AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36378638; 050136D-050433_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of US 12/Wisconsin 26 from the North Fort Atkinson interchange to the Whitewater bypass in Rock and Jefferson counties of southwestern Wisconsin is proposed. The segment of US 12 under consideration extends from Whitewater to Fort Atkinson, beginning at the US 12 Whitewater Bypass, west of Whitewater, continuing north along US 12 through the town of Koshkonong and the City of Fort Atkinson, and proceeding to. The northern terminus at the North Fort Atkinson WIS 26 bypass interchange. US 12 is a part of the National Highway System and is classified as a connector route in the Corridors 2020 state highway plan. US 12 currently bisects the City of Fort Atkinson on a split route through residential areas and the central business district. A needs assessment showed existing and increasing congestion and safety problems on the existing route. The roadway is a two-lane facility, except in the central business district of Fort Atkinson and near the North Fort Atkinson interchange, where it is a four-lane divided highway. Alternative improvements of a broad range of type and intensity were proposed to improve the regional mobility of the US 12 highway system in the Fort Atkinson area. Six alternatives, including a transportation systems management (TSM) alternative, four build alternatives, and the No Action Alternative, are considered. Potential improvements ranged from the No Action Alternative to improving the existing alignment to building a new bypass of Fort Atkinson, to rerouting US 12 on another corridor. A preferred alternative has not been identified. Cost of the TSM alternative is estimated at $5.1 million, while the cost estimates for the build alternatives range from $23.9 million and $50.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would Improve current and future regional traffic flows to serve interstate and inter-regional travelers; improve safety for users including pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles; accommodate heavy traffic volumes, including heavy trucks, so that the roadway meets the role of a Corridors 2020 and National Highway System (NHS) route; and improve the level of service of US 12 along the study corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development under the build alternatives would displace 94 to 351 acres, including one to 12 acres of wetlands, 83 to 247 acres of farmland within 17 to 37 agricultural operations, one to two farms entirely, 14 to 41 residences, one to four businesses, and up to 21 acres of woodland. The project would encroach on floodplain land, up to six historic sites/districts and one to six archaeological sites. Habitat for endangered species would be affected under three build alternatives. Traffic-generated would exceed federal standards 15 to 86 sensitive receptor sites. Construction workers would encounter two to 79 hazardous materials sites. Secondary development resulting from increased accessibility within the region would affect additional natural and socioeconomic resources.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - CENTRAL LINK LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT: NORTH LINK, SEATTLE, UKWILA AND SEATAC, WASHINGTON (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 1999). AN - 36378793; 050134D-050427_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of an electric light-rail transit system in the Central Puget Sound region (Seattle, Tukwila, and SeaTac) of west-central Washington are proposed by the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit). The light-rail system, to be known as Central Link, would operate in an exclusive and semi-exclusive right-of-way between North Seattle and the city of SeaTac. The project would constitute a component of Sound Move, the 10-year program for regional high-capacity transportation. Issues addressed in the final EIS of November 1999 included those related to land use and economic development, displacement and relocation, neighborhoods and environmental justice, visual and aesthetic resources, air quality, noise and vibration, ecosystems, water quality and hydrology, energy use, geology and soils, hazardous materials, electromagnetic radiation, public services, utilities, historic and archaeologic sites, parklands, construction impacts, and cumulative impacts. Alternatives considered included a No-Build Alternative, two light-rail length alternatives, 24 rail route alternatives, 61 station options, and three alternative maintenance base sites. With 24 to 29 miles of light-rail line, the corridor is divided into six geographic segments, including: Segment A - Northgate to University District; Segment B - University District to Westlake Station; Segment C - Westlake Station to South McClellan Street; Segment D - South McClellan Street to Boeing Access, Segment E - Tukwila; and Segment F - SeaTac. For each segment, two to five route alternatives were considered. The segment alternatives would be linked to create a complete, operable light-rail system. System length alternatives would extend from the city of SeaTac, just south of Seattle-Tacoma (SeaTac) International Airport, to either Northeast Forty-Fifth Street (the University District) or Northgate in Seattle. Depending on the final decision with respect to alternative options, costs of the project, as estimated in the final EIS, ranged from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. Locally preferred alternatives were identified for all but one segment, but no decision was made within the final EIS by the federal authorities. This draft supplement to the final EIS addresses alternatives related to the North Link Light Rail component of the project. North Link is a light rail extension from downtown Seattle to the University District and Northgate (Figure S-1). North Link is the northern section of the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project, a 25-mile light rail line extending from SeaTac to north Seattle. The final EIS on the Central Link project selected the original project route and stations from Northeast 45th Street in the University District of Seattle to South 200th Street in SeaTac. At that time, Sound Transit did not identify a project route for the northernmost section of the project from the University District to Northgate. As the Central Link project continued, construction risk challenges were identified in tunnel sections of the original project route from downtown Seattle to the University District, and costs exceeded forecasts. In late 2001, Sound Transit initiated new engineering and environmental planning for North Link. This 2005 Draft SEIS focuses on recent design refinements for North Link, primarily affecting the preferred alternative. The preferred alternative analyzed here will connect to the rail system's initial segment in downtown Seattle and extend the system north to Capitol Hill, the University District, Roosevelt, and Northgate. Design changes affecting environmental impacts include the Capitol Hill Station, Brooklyn Station, Roosevelt Station, and alignments along 1-5. This draft supplemental EIS supplements the Central Link Light Rail Transit Project Final EIS of November 1999 and the previous North Link draft SEIS of November 2003. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The system would connect the region's major activity centers, including Northgate, Roosevelt, the University District, Capitol Hill, First Hill, downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley area, the City of Tukwila, and city of SeaTack, and the Sea-Tack International Airport. Seattle Center and Southcenter Mall could also be served. These areas include the state's highest employment concentrations and contain the highest transit ridership. The system would expand transit capacity within the region's most densely populated and congested corridor, provide a practical alternative to driving on increasingly congested roadways, support comprehensive land use and transportation planning, provide environmental benefits, and improve mobility for travel-disadvantaged residents along he corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: System development would result residential and commercial displacements, affect historic and archaeologic resources and parkland and wetland, impede non-motorized access at some locations. Vegetation and associated wildlife would be destroyed in some areas. Some neighborhoods, including those with low-income and minority populations, would suffer some impacts due to the visual intrusion of rail structures into their neighborhoods and barriers to movement resulting from the presence of the structures. Hazardous materials sites would be encountered during construction. System operation would result in some impacts due to noise and vibration.

AN - 68775003; 16272046 AB - Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, formation energies, bond lengths and FTIR spectra all suggest competing CL-20 degradation mechanisms. This second of two studies investigates recalcitrant, toxic, aromatic CL-20 intermediates that absorb from 370 to 430 nm. Our earlier study (Struct. Chem., 15, 2004) revealed that these intermediates were formed at high OH(-) concentrations via the chemically preferred pathway of breaking the C-C bond between the two cyclopentanes, thereby eliminating nitro groups, forming conjugated pi bonds, and resulting in a pyrazine three-ring aromatic intermediate. In attempting to find and make dominant a more benign CL-20 transformation pathway, this current research validates hydroxylation results from both studies and examines CL-20 transformations via photo-induced free radical reactions. This article discusses CL-20 competing modes of degradation revealed through: computational calculation; UV/VIS and SF spectroscopy following alkaline hydrolysis; and photochemical irradiation to degrade CL-20 and its byproducts at their respective wavelengths of maximum absorption.

However, precise geochronological data are still lacking for the metamorphic rocks of the Imjingang Belt. We obtained SHRIMP U-Pb ages for zircons from an amphibolite and a garnet-biotite paragneiss of the Samgot unit, Yeoncheon Complex in the Imjingang Belt. The amphibolite zircons show magmatic zoning, and gave a crystallization age of 861.2+ or -7.3 Ma (95% confidence level). This age of the Samgot Amphibolite, along with its geochemical affinity to intra-continental rift-related alkalic basalt, suggests that its protolith may have formed during the Neoproterozoic break-up of the Rodinia supercontinent, as witnessed in the south China continent. The paragneiss zircons exhibit prismatic or isometric metamorphic overgrowth on detrital cores. The zircon cores yielded two distinct Paleozoic age groups of 447.0+ or -4.4 Ma (Late Ordovician) and 396.7+ or -6.1 Ma (Early Devonian), and some older ages up to 2,728+ or -5 Ma. The overgrowth zircons gave a peak metamorphic age of 252.9+ or -1.9 Ma. The Paleozoic ages from the detrital zircon cores indicate presence of Caledonian igneous activities, unidentified so far, in the Korean Peninsula. Also, the youngest age of detrital zircons and the metamorphic age constrain that the protolith of the paragneiss was deposited between the Early Devonian and the Late Permian, indicating that at least a part of the Samgot unit is much younger than previously thought (Meso- to Neoproterozoic). Our U-Pb zircon ages suggest possible eastward continuation of the Imjingang Belt to the Hida Belt of Japan which reportedly has similar geochronological aspects as in this study, such as Precambrian and Paleozoic terranes metamorphosed at about 250 Ma. Our data also suggest that the timing of peak metamorphism recorded in the Chinese Qinling-Dabie-Sulu collisional belt is about 20 Ma younger than those in the Imjingang and Hida Belts, apparently supporting the indentation collision model between the north and south China continents proposed by Yin and Nie (1993).

Strains were measured locally by a newly developed pin-typed local deformation transducer. In the tests, effect of end-restraint at the top cap and pedestal on small strain shear modulus that was measured externally by applying small unload/reload cycles in the torsional direction was found to be significant. A new hypoelastic model was proposed to simulate the inherent and stress-induced anisotropies of quasi-elastic deformation properties of sand, considering rotation of principal stress axes from material axes. Good agreements between experimental and simulation data were observed. In the simulation, effect of inherent anisotropy on the quasi-elastic deformation properties of Toyoura sand was found to be small.

Adaptive local grid refinement can improve solution accuracy without sacrificing computational efficiency because computer efforts are focused on the rough regions (i.e., requiring high spatial resolution) of the problem domain. To implement adaptive grids, a backward/forward particle tracking technique is applied in the Lagrangian step, and the interpolation errors of the Lagrangian concentrations are compared with prescribed error tolerances to determine rough regions. A modular setting of the grid generation is then used to generate locally zooming grids and to prepare information for applying multigrid methods. The Lagrangian concentrations of the newly generated nodes at the finest grid level are also evaluated by performing a backward tracking. Multigrid strategies which can effectively eliminate the smooth component error through coarse grid correction are finally applied in the Eulerian step to solve the matrix equations for further saving of computer time. Example problems are used to demonstrate the success of this integrated approach.

In a nine-year study of bluff failure processes and displacement rates, perched groundwater was identified as a major factor in bluff recession, independent of wave action and lake level. Perched groundwater is particularly important in stratigraphic settings in which perched aquifer units intersect land surface in mid to upper bluff-face positions. Three bluff sites in Allegan County, Michigan were selected to assess the effectiveness of dewatering in bluff stabilization under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 227 program. Three types of dewatering systems were installed: (1) passive, bluff-parallel horizontal wells at the top of the bluff to intersect perched water flowing toward the bluff face; (2) passive drains composed of subhorizontal PVC wells of the bluff face in low-permeability units; and (3) an active system composed of vertical wells with submersible pumps in more permeable units on the bluff face. Water produced from all systems was drained by gravity in heat-tape wrapped conduit down the bluff face to seepage cisterns embedded into the beach at the base of the bluff. A network of vibrating-wire piezometers and inclinometers was installed in the bluff face to measure three-dimensional bluff displacements and potentiometric surfaces in previously defined slump blocks. Control sites were established adjacent to the dewatered slopes. All instruments on the unstable, steeply sloping bluff faces (30-40 degree slope) were installed by a drill rig mounted on a steel platform raised into place by a large industrial crane operating from the beach at the base of the approximately 25 m high bluffs. Real-time data including inclinometer displacements and water level fluctuations are monitored via wires leading to an instrument shed and by telemetry to computers in the lab located 60 km from the site. Pump discharge data are manually read frequently from flow meters at each well. Data are also up-loaded to a web site set up for the project. Initial dewatering and monitoring results are discussed in a companion paper (Chase et al.).

Slope displacements occur under reduced effective stress conditions when: 1) excess ground water is stored behind frozen bluff faces; and 2) the thaw release of that excess water maintains flow pressures until normal water levels are restored. Erosion from storm waves contributes to the timing and magnitude of displacements, but is not their primary cause. A massive experiment is currently being conducted jointly by WMU and the USACE to test the removal of excess winter/spring ground water as a failure mitigating strategy. During 2003-04, three stratigraphically diverse sites were equipped with 44 in-place inclinometers, 28 VW piezometers, 25 vertical pumping wells, 20 bluff-face horizontal drains, and two weather stations. Displacements during dewatering are being correlated with activities at nearby control sites. The water removal systems were activated on 17Dec04 and deactivated on 07May05. The following observations apply: 1) slump block permeability is controlled by clay layers smeared along shear planes; 2) ground water flow directions beneath frozen bluff faces periodically changed; 3) displacement magnitudes in the control sites were at least four or more times greater than those in dewatered sites; and 4) at nearly all displacement locations movements were timed on a daily basis with bluff face freezing, or movements occurred during the next-day thaw and seep activity.

Limited knowledge of the comparative toxicity of sediment-associated TNT and related compounds contributes to uncertainty when assessing ecological risks in contaminated sites. Trinitrotoluene undergoes transformation when associated with soils and sediments and typically occurs as a mixture dominated by its reduction products. The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate the single-compound toxicity of TNT and its major transformation products to the freshwater midge Chironomus tentans in 10-day exposures to sediment spiked with TNT, 2-aminodinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), 2,4-diaminonitrotoluene (2,4-DANT), or trinitrobenzene (TNB). In addition, the nature of the toxicological interactions of the latter compounds in a mixture was evaluated. Upon spiking to sediment, TNT and TNB rapidly degraded to reduced products, and disappearance of extractable compounds suggested irreversible binding to sediment particles. The high degree of transformation and reactivity occurring during 10 days at spiking concentrations as high as 4000 mu mol/kg dry weight suggests that TNT and related compounds are unlikely to be encountered in fine-grained sediments at contaminated sites. Similar to previous investigations, the high reactivity of the spiked compound hampered determination of accurate toxic concentrations of TNT and related compounds, and of the nature of toxicological interaction of compounds in a mixture in this study. Sediment concentrations associated with decreased survival were similar for all four compounds, with the 10-d median lethal concentrations (LC50s) determined using initial concentrations ranging from 175 (2-ADNT) to 605 (2,4-DANT) mu mol/kg dry weight. Sublethal decrease in growth was not observed for any compound. Results from the mixture experiment suggest additive interaction among TNT and related compounds in sediment exposures.

The initial steps of the catabolism were investigated in cell-free extracts of the bacterial strain MM 1 able to grow with methyl-triethanol-ammonium as sole source of carbon, energy and nitrogen. The initial degradation of methyl-triethanol-ammonium is an enzymatically catalyzed reaction, located in the particulate fraction of strain MM 1. The oxygen dependent reaction occurred also in presence of phenazine methosulfate as an alternative electron acceptor. As soon as one ethanol group of methyl-triethanol-ammonium was oxidized to the aldehyde, cyclic hemiacetals were formed by intramolecular cyclization. The third ethanol group of methyl-triethanol-ammonium was oxidized to the aldehyde and the carboxylic acid sequentially. The structurally related compounds dimethyl-diethanol-ammonium and choline were oxidized as well, whereas ( plus or minus )-2,3-dihydroxypropyl-trimethyl-ammonium was not converted at all. The structures of the metabolites were established by 1D and 2D super(1)H, super(13)C and super(14)N NMR spectroscopy and by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry.

Area wide mobility analyses were conducted using three standard US military tracked and wheeled vehicles over terrain regions representing both fine-grained and course-grained soils. The NATO reference mobility model, Version 2, was used to perform the on- and off-road mobility analysis. Vehicle and terrain characterizations along with different climate scenarios were used as input parameters to predict vehicle rut depth performance for the different vehicles and terrain conditions. The vehicles' performance was statistically mapped over these terrain regions for percent area traveled and the resulting rut depth created by each vehicle. A selection of tactical scenarios for each vehicle was used to determine rut depth for a range of vehicle missions. A vehicle mission severity rating method, developed at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, was used to rate the selected missions and resulting rut depths.

These military training lands are some of the most intensely used land in the United States, and training requires that vegetation, primarily grasses, be as resilient as possible. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (i) plant establishment and (ii) the effect of light to heavy tank traffic that ranged from zero to four passes on range grasses at the Yakima Training Center, Yakima, Washington. Characteristics measured include the number of 10-cm gaps without plant materials in seeded rows of the target (sown) species, the biomass of the target species, and the percentages of bluegrass colonization, bare ground, and cheatgrass encroachment in tracked and untracked areas. Both stand establishment and the ability to produce rhizomes are associated with the ability to recover after training. The wildryes did not establish well and subsequently had more 10-cm gaps and lower yields than the other introduced species tested. Among the natives, Snake River wheatgrass and western wheatgrass exhibited the most resilience across the different tracking intensities. The largest decline in percentage target species was observed between the two- and four-pass treatments. After five years, cheatgrass was not able to encroach on Snake River wheatgrass, Siberian wheatgrass, and bluebunch wheatgrass plots. Tracking generally reduced the stand of the target species and increased the amount of bare ground.

A vehicle mobility analysis was performed for a suite of vehicle types using the NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM II). Input parameters include terrain information (soil type, slope, vegetation, surface roughness, soil strength), terrain surface condition based on climate (terrain strength, freeze-thaw, moisture content, snow cover), and vehicle specifications (tire, power train, weight on each axle, ground clearance, dimensions, ride). The vehicle performance was spatially mapped over the terrain for different seasons of the year and used to calculate the maneuverable acreage, which was compared to acreage needed for training requirements. This can be related to land capability based on expected training impact (Maneuver Impact Miles, MIM) and Land Condition Curves which link training density to land condition. This methodology can be used to determine the suitability of training lands and the degree of land management or rehabilitation expected. The methodology was applied to the transformation of the Alaska training lands to support a new brigade unit called the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT3), but is equally useful for other training areas and military units. For summer use, Alaska training lands are capable of supporting four times the projected training requirements. For winter, when the ground is frozen, more than 10 times the area needed was available.

From 1989 to 1995, permanent field transects were monitored for vegetative cover and land use disturbance using standard army monitoring methods [Land Condition Trend Analysis (LCTA)]. Land use intensity (training load) was quantified and used to develop a model to predict future vegetation cover values. We found that standard Army monitoring methods detected changes in installation resources associated with changes in training load. Increased training loads were associated with increased measures of disturbance, decreased ground cover, and decreased aerial vegetative cover. We found that the spatial pattern of disturbance and vegetation cover remained relatively constant over the study period despite large variations in overall training load. Our model used the consistency in spatial cover patterns over time and the strong relationship between training load and vegetation cover to predict the impact of future training loads on vegetation.

They reveal relatively enriched Sr and Nd isotopic compositions ( (super 87) Sr/ (super 86) Sr = 0.70330-0.70555, (super 143) Nd/ (super 144) Nd = 0.51298-0.51256) compared with MORB. (super 207) Pb/ (super 204) Pb and (super 208) Pb/ (super 204) Pb values of all the analyzed Korean basalts lie above the Northern Hemisphere Reference Line (NHRL) defined by Hart (1984). Pb isotopic compositions of basalts from Jejudo Islands ( (super 206) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 18.61-19.12, (super 207) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 15.54-15.69, (super 208) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 38.98-39.72) are significantly more radiogenic than the rest ( (super 206) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 17.72-18.03, (super 207) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 15.44-15.58, (super 208) Pb/ (super 204) Pb = 37.77-38.64). The Cenozoic Korean basalts thus can be divided into two groups based on their Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions. The north group reveals mixing between DMM and EM1 while the south group displays DMM-EM2 mixing. Such a distribution is the same as Chinese Cenozoic basalts and it can be interpreted that the subcontinental lithospheric mantle under Korea represents simple lateral continuation of the South and North China Blocks. We suggest that Korean continental collision zone cross the Korean Peninsula through the region between the north and south basalt groups of Korea.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - UNITED STATES HIGHWAY (USH) 41, OCONTO TO PESHTIGO, MARINETTE AND OCONTO COUNTIES, WISCONSIN. AN - 36379242; 050130F-050408_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of US 41 between Oconto and Peshtigo and the construction of bypasses around Oconto and Peshtigo in Marenette and Onconto counties, Wisconsin is proposed. US 41 is a principal arterial highway providing a vital north-south transportation link between southeastern Wisconsin and Michigan. The entire US 41 corridor is designated a backbone highway under the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Corridors 2020 plan designed to provide a network of high quality highways connections all regions of the state and the state network to the national system of interstate highways and other multi-lane highways. US 41 also provides connections to major east-west highways in north-central Wisconsin, regional service to economic centers and tourism resources, and local service to communities along the corridor. The 21-mile segment between the cities of Oconto and Peshtigo represents the final link in the US 41 corridor proposed for capacity improvements. In 2027, traffic is expected to increase by a range of 36 to 51 percent and include 17 percent heavy truck traffic along the study corridor. Present and project traffic volumes exceed the threshold at which a four-lane, divided highway would provide level of service C at 4.0 or higher for a Corridors 2020 backbone highway. Numerous access points and high truck volumes affect traffic flow and safety. Crash data for 1998 through 2002 indicate that the total crash and injury rates in Oconto and Pestigo were above statewide averages. The corridor has been divided into three sections, including one section each bypassing the Onconto and Peshtigo areas and one section extending between the bypasses. This final EIS considers a No-Build Alternative and three to six alternatives for each section. The preferred alternative for the Oconto-to-Peshtigo section would involve reconstruction of the existing alignment with an off-alignment segment in the area south of Peshtigo. The four-lane bypasses around Onconto and Peshtigo would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot grass median. The bypasses would be constructed to freeway standards and would not have direct driveway or side road connections. Access to and from US 41 would be provided via grade-separated intersections at the bypasses. The expressway facility between Onconto and Pestigo would also consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 60-foot grass median. Access to the expressway would involve relocating driveways to adjacent side roads, consolidating driveways and field entrances, and removing unnecessary points. Rights-of-way widths would vary from 250 to 300 feet along the entire US 41 facility, including the bypasses and the expressway. Cost of construction of the preferred alternatives is estimated at $122.1 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The expressway/bypass combination would provide a safe and efficient transportation system that would serve present and future traffic demand while minimizing disturbance to the natural and human environment to the extent practicable. The facility would improve system linkage and take advantage of the importance of the corridor. Safety along US 41 would be enhanced due to amelioration of design deficiencies and safety hazards. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of 268 acres of farmland, 138 acres of residential land and 34 living units, 26 acres of commercial property and three businesses, three farm properties, 199 acres of wetlands, and 173 acres of upland habitat. Habitat for federally protected species would be affected. The alignment would traverse 10 farm properties, resulting in landlocked and/or severed parcels. Floodplain encroachment would occur as the alignment traversed 21 streams. Traffic generated noise would exceed federal standards at 38 sensitive receivers, including 18 residences. Construction workers would encounter six contaminated materials sites.

Preparation date: September 27, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - IRON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR, FROM STATE ROAD 56 TO EXIT 51 ON INTERSTATE 15, IRON COUNTY, UTAH. AN - 16338932; 11756 AB - PURPOSE: The preservation of rights-of-way and the construction of new transportation corridor extending six miles from State Road (SR) 56 to the North Kanarraville/Hamilton Fort interchange (Exit 51) on Interstate 15 (I-15) in Iron County, Utah are proposed. The new transportation corridor would connect regional transportation systems and link rural residents with job centers. Existing roadways within the project area are either not developed, unimproved, or do not meet current design standards. While the existing traffic network satisfactorily accommodate current traffic volumes at acceptable levels of service, planned growth requires that an upgraded transportation network be effected. Three alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this final EIS. Environmental impacts falling into 15 categories are discussed; key impacts are related to land use, cultural resources, wildlife resources, and traffic-generated noise levels. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2), the western build alternative, would begin at the North Kanarraville/Hamilton Fort (Exit 15) interchange and continue westward to approximately 5600 West, curve northward to 5700 West, follow 5700 West due north to intersect with DR 56, with a bend to the northwest so that the intersection with SR 56 is at a 90-degree angle. The 5.6-mile facility would consists of a two-lane roadway and an unpaved trail within a 100-foot rights-of-way. Alternative 3 follows 5500 West north and south. In all other respects it is identical to Alternative 2. Alternative 3 would extend 5.7 miles. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed transportation corridor would improve the transportation network in accordance with the Iron Conty Transportation Master Plan, thereby supporting the mobility of goods and people and improving local circulation and access for residents and emergency service vehicles. The new facility would provide additional direct access to the I-15 industrial corridor. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for alternatives 2 and 3 would be 59.6 and 65.299 acres, respectively; respective farmland displacements are 55.97 acres and 29.16 acres. Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in traffic-generated noise levels in excess of federal standards at three and seven residential locations, respectively. Stream realignment would occur on Shurtz Creek and the Shurtz Creek South Branch. Alternative 2 would also impact one wellhead. Either alternative could affect foraging resources for bald eagle and ferruginous hawks, and Alternative 2 would affect 5.76 acres of Utah prairie dog habitat and foraging sources for Swainson's hawks. Ten to 16 archaeological sites would be disturbed. The roadway would constitute an aesthetic intrusion in a rural area.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - WATER TREATMENT RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT PROCESS FOR THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT, WASHINGTON, D.C. AN - 36379490; 050165F-050384_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The modification of the Washington Aqueduct's current practice of discharging water treatment residuals into the Potomac River in Washington, District of Columbia is proposed. Residuals consist of solid particles removed from water taken for treatment from the Potomac River. The removed solids have historically been returned to the Potomac River, but the recently reissued version of the Washington Aqueducts Permit No. DC 0000019 effectively precludes the discharge of water treatment solids to the river. Rather than discharging residuals into the river, the modified system would collect, treat, and dispose of residuals at an alternate location. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative D), are considered in this final EIS. The proposed alternative (Alternative E) would involve collection of residuals at the Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant and Georgetown Reservoir, treatment of the residuals at East Dalecarlia Processing Site on government property located north of Sibley Memorial Hospital in the District of Columbia, and disposal of the residuals via trucks on major streets to licensed land disposal sites likely located in Maryland or Virginia. An estimated eight truck trips per day, five days per week, of dewatered residuals would be transported from the Decarlia waste treatment plant site. Higher numbers of trucks would be required during peak residuals production periods. Cost of construction of the proposed action is estimated at $54.3 million in 2004 dollars. {4-81} POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new management and treatment system would allow the Washington Aqueduct to achieve complete compliance with NPDES Permit DC0000019 and all other federal and local regulations. The new process would not impact current or future production of safe drinking water reliably for the aqueduct water consumers. If possible, the quantities of solids generated by water treatment processes would be reduced though optimized coagulation or other means. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The separation, generation, and temporary and permanent storage of solids would generate odors and gases. Landfills accepting residuals would generate odors and result in the displacement of land for other purposes. Some hazardous materials could be contained in residual spoils. Treatment and disposal facilities would mar local visual aesthetics. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.).

AN - 16355200; 11744 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of improvements to the Cedar Bayou Navigational Channel (CNBC) near Baytown in Harris and Chamber counties, Texas is proposed. More specifically, the project is located along the bayou from approximately Mile 3 to State Highway (SH) 46 (Mile 11). Navigation along the CBNC is currently constrained by relatively narrow and shallow channel conditions as well as the extreme curvature of bends in the upper portion of the channel, which restrict maneuverability along the channel. Future expansion of existing industries and development of new industries on the bayou are expected, resulting in the need for more barges transiting the CBNC to support these concerns. The recommended alternative would involve dredging the CBNC to a depth of 10 feet and a bottom width of 100 feet from Mile 3 to SH 146. In addition, the project would provide for a 200-foot-wide, 1,300-foot-long passing zone downstream of SH 99 at Mile 6; a cutoff channel to bypass the existing Devil's Elbow section of the channel; straightening of two bends to areas outside the existing banks of the bayou; and management of dredged material over the 50-year project life. Dredged material would be placed in Ijams Lake and two upland placement sites. Maintenance dredging would be performed at 10-year intervals. Bank armoring would be provided to prevent erosion along both the upland banks of the Devil's Elbow Cutoff and along the western levee of the Ijams Lake Placement Area. Compensatory mitigation for estuarine marsh lost due to the project would be provided by adding 15 acres of similar habitat and preserving 157.5 acres of upland habitats within the project area. In addition, 65.1 acres of estuarine marsh would be created through the beneficial use of dredged materials. In addition to the proposed action and a No Action Alternative, this draft EIS considers the local authority's proposal and dredged material disposal alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve the efficiency, safety, and reliability of navigation along the CNBC, while protecting the quality of the corridor's natural resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the displacement of 3.8 acres of estuarine marsh due to the dredging of the Devil's Elbow Cutoff and the easing of one bend. Approximately 131.8 acres of upland habitat would be lost by the cutoff, two bend easings, and upland placement of dredged material; these habitats include 5.5 acres of native hardwoods, 5.9 acres of tallow-dominated hardwoods, 64 acres of scrub/shrub, and 56.4 acres of improved pasture. Aquatic communities, including plankton, benthos, and nekton, would be adversely impacted by dredging and the placement of dredged material in Ijams Lake; however, these communities would be expected to recover and the project would increase the overall diversity and productivity of aquatic habitats in the project area by creating estuarine marsh within the lake.

AN - 36412389; 11640 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of nine miles of Maryland Route (MD) 32 between MD 108 and Interstate 70 (I-70) in Howard County, Maryland is proposed. This section of MD 32 constitutes part of the Patuxtent Freeway system stretching from Annapolis to I-70, a distance of 70 miles. The system is part of a high volume transportation corridor that will provide safe and efficient movement of goods and people between the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland, while bypassing the more densely populated areas of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. South of the project study limits, from MD 108 to I-97, MD 32 is currently a four- and six-lane divided expressway, with access controlled via interchanges. Improvements within the study corridor are necessary to provide continuity with the rest of the system by completing MD 32 as a controlled access, divided expressway. Average daily traffic along MD 32 within the study area ranges from 15,900 to 18,300 vehicles; the roadway operates at en E/F level of service (LOS). Moreover, traffic volumes are anticipated to increase by 60 percent under the 2020 No-Build scenario, reducing the LOS to F. Four alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this final EIS. Alternatives I and II Modified would provide four-lane, divided, controlled access highway with a 34-foot median. Under Build Alternative I, interchanges would be provided at Linden Church Road, Dayton Shop, Burntwoods Road, Rosemary Lane, Nixon's Farm Lane, MD 144, and I-70. Under Build Alternative II, interchanges would be provided at Linden Church Road, Dayton Shop, Burntwoods Road, Rosemary Lane, and I-70, but access to Nixon's Farm Lane and MD 144 would be provided via a single interchange at MD 144 complemented by access roads in lieu of two interchanges. The third build alternative, known as the Two-Lane Build Alternative, would involve involving one two-lane designs with and one without a barrier in the median. Build Alternative II Modified has been selected as the preferred alternative. Numerous interchange options are also considered. Estimated coat of the selected Built II-Modified Alternative is $205 million respectively. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Project implementation would support expected growth in area households, population, and employment through 2020. The highway would provide improved access to employment centers in Howard, Anne Arundel, and Montgomery counties and Washington, D.C. Level of service within the corridor to an LOS of C/D. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements for the preferred alternative would result in the displacement of 125.1 acres of land, residences, one business, 28.3 acres of active farmland, one archaeological site, 14.7 acres of floodplain, four acres of wetlands, and 87.4 acres of woodland. Relocation of 7,200 linear feet of stream and 39 stream crossings would be required. Traffic-generated noise levels would exceed federal standards in the vicinity of 12 sensitive receptors. Construction workers would encounter two hazardous waste sites. LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601)..

We selected a highly frost-susceptible silt to obtain an upper bound on FT effects, and completed three series of six experiments each to quantify differences in soil erosion and rill development in a bare soil following a single FT cycle. Each series represented a specific soil moisture range: 16-18 per cent, 27-30 per cent and 37-40 per cent by volume, with nominal flow rates of 0.4, 1.2 and 2.4 L/min and slopes of 8 degrees and 15 degrees . Each experiment used two identical soil bins: one a control (C) that remained unfrozen, and another that was frozen and thawed once. Standard soil characterization tests did not detect significant differences between the FT and C bins. We measured cross-sectional geometry of an imposed straight rectangular rill before each experiment, sediment load during and rill cross-sections after. Changes in cross section provided detailed measures of erosion at specific locations, while sediment load from time series run-off samples integrated the rill erosion. Several parameters, including average maximum rill width, average maximum rill depth, rill cross-section depth measures and sediment load, all followed similar trends. Each was greater in the FT than in the C, with values that generally increased with slope and flow. However, soil moisture was the only parameter that affected the FT/C ratios. Average sediment load grouped by soil moisture provided FT/C ratios of 2.4, 3.0 and 5.0 for low, mid and high moisture, respectively. In contrast, a "dry" experiment at 4-5 per cent soil moisture had FT/C of 1.02 for sediment load. These results show a dramatic increase with soil moisture in the rate and quantity of bare soil eroded due to the FT cycle. As both FT and C results were highly sensitive to initial conditions, minimum differences in soil weight, bulk density and soil moisture through each series of experiments were required to achieve consistent results, indicating that rill erosion may be chaotic.

AN - 36442721; 11709 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a storage area in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EEA) of south Florida are proposed as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Additional water storage capacity is needed in the study area to reverse declines in the ecological function and productivity of Lake Okeechobee and the associated estuaries of the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie Canal. Large swings between low and high stages in the Lake, resulting in alternate inundation and drying of the littoral zone and ecologically damaging releases of freshwater into the northern estuaries. The EEA is expected to remain predominately agricultural for the foreseeable future, with Lake Okeechobee being the only agricultural storage repository. Six alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), are considered in this draft EIS. The central feature of the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would consist of an 31,000-acre aboveground reservoir, with a storage capacity of 360,000 acre-feet in two cells at the 12-foot normal pool level, located on lands previously acquired for restoration activities in the Everglades ecosystem. The reservoir would provide for pumped water storage from Lake Okeechoee and the EEA basin via the Miami Canal, North New River Canal, and Bolles and Cross Canals and redistribution of water through improvements to these canals. Levees enclosing the reservoir cells would be 23 feet high to accommodate extreme rainfall and wind events. The levees would have a top width of 12 feet and incorporate underground cutoff walls to provide stability and prevent excessive seepage into adjoining areas. Additional features would include improvements to pump stations G-372 and G-370, installation of two new pump stations, and excavation of new C-601 and C-602 borrow/seepage canals for the two reservoir cells. Numerous bridge relocations would be required. Initial cost of the project, to be implemented over 3.5 years, is estimated at $912.9 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The reservoir would contribute to restoration of the Everglades by improving the quality, quantity, timing, and distribution of water within the greater Everglades. The reservoir would capture and store water now retained in Lake Okeechobee for dry-season agricultural use, providing an alternative source for this water and, thereby, reducing stresses on the Lake's littoral zone, which in some years is inundated by higher lake stages. The facility would also free some Lake water for environmental restoration, while reducing raining season releases from the EEA to Lake Okeechobee via back pumping. As the reservoir would receive regulatory releases from Lake Okeechobee, it would also benefit the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries and water conservation areas (WCAs), resulting in fewer and less intense pulsed discharges offering the opportunity of using it to receive water from the Lake. The WCAs would also receive water of improved quality and timing. Benefit analysis indicated that the project would improve both the ridge and slough and tree island habitats in the greater Everglades. Local benefits would include increased areas of wetlands in the reservoir seepage buffer, littoral zones on reservoir delivery canals, and terrestrial habitat on levees. Flood damage reduction, while not a primary project objective, would be attained by increasing conveyance capacity and by providing storage capacity in the surface impoundments. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The plan would result in the loss of extensive upland habitat and remnant wetlands within the project footprint, displacement of farms and the associated agricultural productivity, displacement of populations, and endangered species as well as visual aesthetics.

Approximately 1.2 miles of the project would run along the US 550 corridor, extending from MP 16.6, located at the US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, to MP 15.4, located south of the US 440/County Road (CR) 220 intersection. The project would extend the existing four-lane highway from Grandview east to Bayfield where it would transition to a two-lane highway. Beyond MP 104.2, the roadway already provides sufficient capacity and safety features to obviate the need for improvements through 2025. In Gem Villate, US 160 would be realigned to the south. From the western project limit to the proposed US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, a westbound auxiliary land and an eastbound climbing land would be required. In addition, the project would realign approximately 1.2 miles of US 550 south of US 160; the realigned section of US 550 would be improved to a four-lane highway. The US 160/US 550 (south) intersection as an interchange. Grade separation of this intersection would provide the best option to address the reconnection of US 160 and US 550 due to terrain and traffic volume. US 610 intersections with CR 233 (west) and Sate Highway 172/CR 284 as interchanges. This US 160 intersections with CR 233 (east), CR 232 (west), and CR 232 (east) would be eliminated, with CR 233 passing beneath US 160. The CR 222/CR 223 (west) intersection with US 160 would be signalized. improvements would be made to the existing US 160/CR 501 intersection. Numerous direct access points to US 160 would be consolidated or improved to provide access control. This draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and two action alternatives for each of four corridor units into which the project was divided. The preferred alternative would generally follow the existing alignment along the US 160 corridor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve conditions for the traveling public along US 160 along the project corridor. More specifically, the project would increase travel efficiency and capacity to meet current and future needs, improve safety for the traveling public by reducing the number and severity of accidents, and provide for controlled access to the highway corridors affected. Intersections with county roads would be upgraded to meet current design standards. Design features, such as alignment shifts, retaining walls, and reduced median widths would reduce impacts to important environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of residents and businesses as well as 21 acres of wetlands and associated wildlife habitat and non-wetland habitat, including meadow habitat for a federally protected bird species, the southwestern willow flycatcher. Raptor and migratory birds are likely to next in the corridor. Nine historic properties would be affected by rights-of-way development.

Cost-effective sampling techniques and field analysis could substantially reduce these costs. This technical report identifies and describes proven and promising sampling devices and onsite analytical instrumentation that potentially could be used now for LTM of ordnance-related compounds in groundwater. Instrumentation that generates data which can be used for regulatory decisions must be sufficiently sensitive to detect analytes of concern at action levels and must have excellent precision and accuracy to meet data quality requirements. Instrumentation for LTM must provide rigorous qualitative as well as quantitative identifications. The following general categories of field analytical technologies applicable to volatile organic chemicals and organic ordnance-related chemicals are included in this report: water quality monitors associated with low-flow purge techniques, discrete interval samplers, immunoassay for detection of explosives, gas chromatography with liquid compatible inlets, mass spectrometry with liquid compatible inlets, ion mobility spectrometry with liquid compatible inlets, chemical sensors, and colorimetric technologies.

HAP has been used at some small arms firing ranges (SAFRs) to contain the lead in berm soils onsite. The two primary pathways for lead migration from the sites are via leachate production and surface runoff water from rainfall. The focus of this study is the in situ treatment of various representative berm soils with HAP using large berm lysimeters under simulated field conditions. Six soils were enriched with lead by firing military rounds of M855, 5.56-mm, lead/copper/antimony bullets into the soils. The six lead-enriched soils were treated with HAP amendment and six of the same enriched soils were tested without HAP treatment. The soils were placed in the lysimeters and subjected to rainfall over a period of time. Leachate and runoff samples were collected. The effectiveness of the HAP treatment was determined by the amount of lead and other metals lost from the treated soils as compared to the soils without any treatment. JF - Technical Reports.

Hydrilla, a nonindigenous aquatic plant species, has been implicated in restricted water delivery, inaccurate water accounting, and an overall breakdown of system maintenance. The presence of hydrilla also has had a decided impact on native flora by the formation of extensive monocultures in many areas. In 2004, surveys were conducted starting below Amistad Reservoir to immediately below Falcon Reservoir to assess the distribution and expansion of hydrilla infestations and document the presence of other invasive aquatic and riparian plant species. A total of seven nonindigenous plant species, hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata), Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), parrotfeather (M. aquaticum), elephant-ear (Colcasia esculenta), giant cane (Arundo donax), salt cedar (Tamarisk spp.), and castorbean (Ricinus communis) were observed. Hydrilla infestations that were originally discovered during 2003 had increased in size through localized stolon expansion. Also, new hydrilla sites were discovered in 2004, including several directly below Amistad Reservoir. No hydrilla was discovered immediately south of Laredo; however, hydrilla infestations had dramatically increased below Falcon Reservoir. Giant cane continues to spread down river, even displacing well-established common cane (Phragmites anstralis) below Falcon Reservoir. While no new Eurasian watermilfoil sites were discovered in 2004, existing infestations near Del Rio remain stable, extending bank-to-bank and considerable distances down the river. Eurasian watermilfoil fragments, which could lead to the formation of new infestations downstream, were observed in the river. Numerous new sites of parrotfeather, elephant-ear, and salt cedar were found during the 2004 survey, and all sites identified in 2003 had increased in localized spread. One endangered wetland plant species, Correll's false dragonhead (Physostegia correllii), was tentatively identified. JF - Special Report.

On the Winfield Pool of the Kanawha River, NAVPAT was used to evaluate changes in fish habitat as a result of lock improvements at the Winfield Lock and Dam made during the 1990's. Fifteen species/life stages were evaluated at a range of traffic levels. The Winfield Pool was divided into 127 longitudinal reaches and each reach was divided into lateral cells having similar depth, velocity, and substrate size. Without traffic habitat quality is determined based on ambient depth, velocity, substrate size, and available structure. Without traffic habitat is degraded by tow traffic as a result of velocity change, substrate scour, and propeller entrainment NAVPAT results on Winfield Pool showed three different responses to navigation traffic. Seven of the fifteen species/life stages showed no effects of navigation traffic on riverine fish habitat at any of the traffic levels tested on Winfield Pool. Four of the fifteen species/life stages showed effects of navigation traffic but no difference as a result of the lock improvements made during the 1990's. The last four of the fifteen species/life stages, swiftwater spawners, showed not only effects of navigation but also differences in habitat quality as a result of the lock improvements. Evaluation of the existing NAVPAT habitat relationships suggests using a guild approach to promote a more community level approach to habitat assessment. JF - Technical Reports.

Currently available tools include geospatial assessment techniques, habitat models, single- and multi-dimensional numerical models, and ecological models based on concepts of bioenergetics, individual-based response, and trophic structure. Applications of these models for sustainable water resource management provide opportunities to forecast the effects of landscape changes, owing to activities such as urbanization, ecosystem restoration, water resource project operations, etc. at various temporal and spatial scales. Since resources (e.g., data, time, expertise, funding, etc.) are often limited, a tiered or hierarchical approach to water resources forecasting is recommended. For example, geospatial technologies can be used to develop land cover and land use data layers for applications in habitat based models or numerical models for watershed runoff predictions. Another level of applications combines predictions of land use changes and subsequent changes in material loadings with biological responses in aquatic systems using multi-dimensional models. This suite of tools is being developed within a framework to "customize" comprehensive tool selection in the decision-making process, thus allowing user communities to maintain databases, conduct alternative analyses, and transfer information in a user-friendly format. A rationale for the approach and example applications are presented.

Due to strong fluctuations of its water level during the 20th century and the flooding of vast areas in a highly vulnerable coastal zone, economic and environmental risk potentials have to be considered. Since the major water input into the CS is attributed to the Volga river, the understanding of its long-term flow process is necessary for an appropriate risk assessment for the CS and its coastal area. Therefore, a top-down approach based on statistical analyses of long-term Volga flow series is pursued. For the series of annual mean flow (MQ) of the Volga river basin during the 20th century, a complex oscillation pattern was identified. Analyses for multiple gauges in the Volga river basin and Eurasian reference basins revealed that this oscillation pattern resulted from the superposition of oscillations with periods of 30 years (MQ) in the western part of the Volga river basin, and 14 years (flow volume of snowmelt events) and 20 years (flow volume of summer and autumn) in the eastern part of the Volga river basin (Kama river basin). Almost synchronous minima or maxima of these oscillations occurred just in the periods of substantial changes of the Caspian Sea level (CSL). It can thus be assumed that the described mechanism is fundamental for an understanding of the CSL development during the 20th century. Regarding the global climate change, it is still difficult to predict reliably the development of the CSL for the 21st century. Consequently, we suggest an ongoing, interdisciplinary research co- operation among climatology, hydrology, hydraulics, ecology and spatial data management.

AN - 16344754; 11748 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of 16.2 miles of highway within the US 160 corridor in La Plata County, Colorado is proposed. The new roadway would extend from milepost (MP) 88, east of Durango, to MP 104.2, east of Bayfield. Approximately 1.2 miles of the project would run along the US 550 corridor, extending from MP 16.6, located at the US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, to MP 15.4, located south of the US 440/County Road (CR) 220 intersection. The project would extend the existing four-lane highway from Grandview east to Bayfield where it would transition to a two-lane highway. Beyond MP 104.2, the roadway already provides sufficient capacity and safety features to obviate the need for improvements through 2025. In Gem Villate, US 160 would be realigned to the south. From the western project limit to the proposed US 160/US 550 (south) intersection, a westbound auxiliary land and an eastbound climbing land would be required. In addition, the project would realign approximately 1.2 miles of US 550 south of US 160; the realigned section of US 550 would be improved to a four-lane highway. The US 160/US 550 (south) intersection as an interchange. Grade separation of this intersection would provide the best option to address the reconnection of US 160 and US 550 due to terrain and traffic volume. US 610 intersections with CR 233 (west) and Sate Highway 172/CR 284 as interchanges. This US 160 intersections with CR 233 (east), CR 232 (west), and CR 232 (east) would be eliminated, with CR 233 passing beneath US 160. The CR 222/CR 223 (west) intersection with US 160 would be signalized. improvements would be made to the existing US 160/CR 501 intersection. Numerous direct access points to US 160 would be consolidated or improved to provide access control. This draft EIS addresses a No Action Alternative and two action alternatives for each of four corridor units into which the project was divided. The preferred alternative would generally follow the existing alignment along the US 160 corridor. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve conditions for the traveling public along US 160 along the project corridor. More specifically, the project would increase travel efficiency and capacity to meet current and future needs, improve safety for the traveling public by reducing the number and severity of accidents, and provide for controlled access to the highway corridors affected. Intersections with county roads would be upgraded to meet current design standards. Design features, such as alignment shifts, retaining walls, and reduced median widths would reduce impacts to important environmental resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would result in the displacement of residents and businesses as well as 21 acres of wetlands and associated wildlife habitat and non-wetland habitat, including meadow habitat for a federally protected bird species, the southwestern willow flycatcher. Raptor and migratory birds are likely to next in the corridor. Nine historic properties would be affected by rights-of-way development.

AN - 36440767; 11626 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of existing navigation channels between the Port of Iberia (POI) and the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana is proposed. The study area is bounded by the cities of Lafayette and New Iberia to the north, the Atchafalaya River to the east, the Vermilion River and the Freshwater Bayou to the west, and the Weeks Bay/Vermillion Bay complex and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Major communities in the study areas include New Iberia, Lafayette, Jeanerette, Franklin, Abbeville, and numerous smaller communities. The Freshwater Bayou alignment incorporates four existing channels, namely, the Commercial Canal, west on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and then south Aon the Freshwater Bayou to the Gulf. n August 2002 reconnaissance report recommended the deepening of the Commercial Canal, portions of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Freshwater Bayou from an average depth of 12 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW) to a depth of 20 feet below MLLW from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico. The limits of the proposed project extend into Vermillion Parish, which is beyond the jurisdiction of the POI, hence, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development agreed to act as the non-federal sponsor for construction of the project. Alternative channel depths under consideration in this draft EIS are 16, 18, and 20 feet below MLLW. As the shallower depths of 16 and 18 feet below MLLW would not accommodate the larger vessels required to transport deepwater topsides and jackets. Moreover, some vessels would be restricted to one-way traffic in their use of the modified channel. Channel width under the 20-foot proposed action would be 150 feet. Estimated cost of initial construction is estimated at $203 million, while the average annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.9 million. The overall benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.84. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve navigational access from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico, improve and maintain the current state of the affected environmental resources, and minimize any future marsh degradation. Dredge material would be used beneficially to restore bank lines and create marsh habitat. Operation and maintenance cost savings would be significant. Dredged material would also be used to nourish beaches, improving littoral hydrology along a number of shorelines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 501 acres of marsh would be converted to upland. The project would also affect 131 acres of freshwater marsh, 2,618 acres of intermediate marsh, 445 acres of brackish marsh, and 3,197 acres of shallow open water. Dredging and disposal activities would temporarily degrade essential fish habitat. Benthic habitat would be destroyed by dredging and disposal operations LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 106-541).

AN - 36367280; 050703D-050355_0005 AB - PURPOSE: The deepening of existing navigation channels between the Port of Iberia (POI) and the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana is proposed. The study area is bounded by the cities of Lafayette and New Iberia to the north, the Atchafalaya River to the east, the Vermilion River and the Freshwater Bayou to the west, and the Weeks Bay/Vermillion Bay complex and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Major communities in the study areas include New Iberia, Lafayette, Jeanerette, Franklin, Abbeville, and numerous smaller communities. The Freshwater Bayou alignment incorporates four existing channels, namely, the Commercial Canal, west on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and then south Aon the Freshwater Bayou to the Gulf. n August 2002 reconnaissance report recommended the deepening of the Commercial Canal, portions of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and Freshwater Bayou from an average depth of 12 feet below mean lower low water (MLLW) to a depth of 20 feet below MLLW from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico. The limits of the proposed project extend into Vermillion Parish, which is beyond the jurisdiction of the POI, hence, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development agreed to act as the non-federal sponsor for construction of the project. Alternative channel depths under consideration in this draft EIS are 16, 18, and 20 feet below MLLW. As the shallower depths of 16 and 18 feet below MLLW would not accommodate the larger vessels required to transport deepwater topsides and jackets. Moreover, some vessels would be restricted to one-way traffic in their use of the modified channel. Channel width under the 20-foot proposed action would be 150 feet. Estimated cost of initial construction is estimated at $203 million, while the average annual operation and maintenance costs are estimated at $1.9 million. The overall benefit-cost ratio is estimated at 1.84. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would improve navigational access from the POI to the Gulf of Mexico, improve and maintain the current state of the affected environmental resources, and minimize any future marsh degradation. Dredge material would be used beneficially to restore bank lines and create marsh habitat. Operation and maintenance cost savings would be significant. Dredged material would also be used to nourish beaches, improving littoral hydrology along a number of shorelines. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Approximately 501 acres of marsh would be converted to upland. The project would also affect 131 acres of freshwater marsh, 2,618 acres of intermediate marsh, 445 acres of brackish marsh, and 3,197 acres of shallow open water. Dredging and disposal activities would temporarily degrade essential fish habitat. Benthic habitat would be destroyed by dredging and disposal operations LEGAL MANDATES: Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 106-541).

AN - 36438035; 11624 AB - PURPOSE: The reconstruction of the 100-year-old Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River between Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City, New York is proposed. The bridge provides a continuous street rid system between upper Manhattan in New York County and the southwest Bronx in Bronx County as well as providing a connecting from the northbound Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) Drive to the Major Deegan Expressway and Bruckner Boulevard. The bridge is open for one-way. Bronx-bound vehicular travel with complementary Manhattan-bound service provided no the Third Avenue Bridge, several blocks to the north. The bridge serves the dual function of linking the street grid systems of the two boroughs and providing key access between several regional highways as a toll-free alternative to the Triborough Bridge. Like most Harlem River moveable bridges, the Willis Avenue Bridge is a swing bridge that was constructed near the turn of the Twentieth Century; the bridge pivots open about a vertical access for navigational purposes. Opened to traffic in August 1901, the bridge consists of a swing span with a single flanking through truss span and multi-girder approaches. The proposed project would completely replace the river crossing with a new swing span and flaking girder spans on each site on a new alignment immediately south and slightly skewed to the existing bridge alignment. Four lanes of traffic would be maintained on the bridge mainline, as is the case on the existing bridge. All new steel approaches and ramps would transition back to the existing connections with the street and arterial highway networks. The First Avenue approach and FDR Drive ramp would be replaced on new alignments with standard radius curves. The Willis Avenue approach would be replaced on an alignment similar to its existing alignment, which would provide a standard radiu8s curve and eliminate all columns in Willis Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard below the approach. The Bruckner Boulevard ramp would be replaced on a new alignment and brought up to standard. Eleven alternatives, including a No-Build Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The proposed off-line replacement bridge would have an estimated cost of $314 million in 2010 dollars (the mid-point of construction) POSITIVE IMPACTS: Bridge reconstruction would improve lane width and geometry of the structure and its approach ramps, reduce the accident rate, increase the bridge's load carrying capacity, improve the bridge's bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and adjust all structural and seismic deficiencies. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The existing Willis Avenue Bridge, which is a historic structure, would be demolished. Construction activities would result in noise emissions in excess of federal standards affecting noise-sensitive sites. Residential and commercial relocations would be required.

AN - 36401887; 11621 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a shoreline protection project for cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach, California is proposed. The coastal shoreline is approximately eight miles long and is bounded by the city of Carlsbad to the north and the city of Del Mar to the south. Erosion of beaches and coastal bluffs in the San Diego region has occurred at a faster than natural rate over the past several decades. As a result, the incidents of wave-induced flooding and structural damages have increased significantly 9in the past 10 to 20 years from a combination of factors. Without the historic replenishment from inland sand sources, shoreline erosion has narrowed the beaches and depleted them of sand, those increasing the vulnerability of coastal bluffs to erosion from waves. In addition, water infiltration from rainfall and landscape irrigation has contributed to bluff top erosion and has been a factor in bluff failure in localized areas. These events have resulted in the loss of human life and significant damages to public and private property. During major storm events, waves and rocks have overtopped the revetments built to protect low-lying areas, causing flooding and other damages to local businesses, including the closure of Highway 101, an emergency route identified by the Department of Homeland Security. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would involve placement of 1.2 million square yards of dredged sediment from two offshore borrow sites along 2.9 miles of shoreline, resulting in a beach width of 200 feet in Segment 1 and 100 feet in Segment 2. The proposed project would also incorporate notch fills (i.e., the filling of notches in the bluff until the fill is flush with the bluff). The total volume of concrete required to fill notches in the bluff's base has been estimated at 6,000 square yards. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Reduction and, in some cases, long-term elimination of beach erosion and rejuvenation of the beach environment would provide protection to properties abutting the shoreline, increased recreational beach width, and increased beach habitat for nearshore vertebrates and invertebrates. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging and disposition of beach nourishment would result in temporary. localized turbidity and would destroy benthic habitat, in the case of placement of nourishment materials, this would be a long-term impact.

AN - 16349874; 11616 AB - PURPOSE: The operation of an open-pit gold mine by the Homestake Mining Company within the historic Eureka Mining District in central Nevada, is proposed. The project area is located 0.7 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada, in an area known for the production of lead, silver, and gold during the late 1800's. Issues of concern include air quality, geology and minerals, paleontology, water quality and quantity, soils, vegetation resources, woodland products, wildlife and fisheries resources special status species, land use authorization and access, recreation and wilderness, visual resources, cultural heritage, social and economic values, noise and blasting vibrations, and hazardous materials and wastes. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, were considered in the final EIS of January 1997. The preferred alternative is a combination of the proposed action plus the Partial Backfilling Alternative. This final supplemental EIS addresses a newly proposed action and the No Action Alternative. The proposed action would include mine development and surface disturbance on a total of 744 acres, including 190 acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and 54 acres of private land owned by Homestake. During the expected nine-year life of the project, which would include seven years of mining and two years of reclamation activities, a total of 60 million tons of waste rock, 130 million tons of alluvial overburden, and 18 million tons of ore would be removed from the mine. Most of the waste rock and all of the ore would require drilling and blasting. Several blasts would occur each day. Mine waste would be hauled from the open pit to one of two proposed waste rock dumps and dumped in 50-foot lifts. The Partial Backfilling Alternative, outlined in the final EIS, would significantly reduce the amount of waste rock placed in the dumps and increase the amount of revegetated surface area. Other project facilities would include a crushing, grinding, and agglomeration facility; heap leaching facilities; and an office building and parking lot, a warehouses and shop, growth media stockpiles, a soil borrow source, and powerline and water pipeline corridors. These project components would interconnected by haul roads, service roads, and the main access road connecting the facility with US 50. Runoff would be directed around the open pit and the general mine site by diversion ditches constructed upgradient of the general mine site. Also under consideration in the final EIS were two rock dump site alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would result in the employment of an average of 225 workers during the construction period and 121 permanent workers through the life of the operation. The total annual payroll would be $5.2 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Geochemical testing indicates that arsenic and aluminum could leach from the alluvium and oxidized limestone; extremely low levels of arsenic could reach groundwater. Of the 744 acres disturbed by mining operations, 451 acres would be tree-dominated land and the remainder would be shrub-dominated land. Approximately 34 animal unit months (AUMs) of forage would be lost to livestock grazing permittees during the project and three AUMs would be permanently displaced. Mine operations would result in the loss of habitat for mule deer and breeding birds and the potential loss of habitat for threatened and endangered species. The waste rock dump sites would create a visual contrast with the surrounding countryside. Mining would displace 190 acres of dispersed recreation land, 25 acres of which would be lost permanently. Noise levels would increase slightly for Eureka residents.

Preparation date: August 18, 2005 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT: MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES TO EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FLORIDA (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT) FOR THE TAMIAMI TRAIL MODIFICATIONS). AN - 36441882; 11620 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of culverts under the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41) through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. Improvements in the delivery of water from Water Conservation Area 3B of the ENP expansion area in Northeast Shark River Slough immediately south of Tamiami Trail. These improvements were documented in a final EIS issued in 1992. At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high flow conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. A 2003 final supplement to the 1992 EIS addressed this problem and analyzed eight alternative plans to protect the highway. The Army Corps of Engineers, the responsible federal authority, withdrew the 2003 supplement because new modeling predicted higher water levels that would damage the roadway, increased costs of construction materials, and higher costs required reanalyzing tradeoffs and benefits and costs. Alternatives evaluated in this revised draft supplemental EIS would include a 3,000-foot-bridge, four-mile bridges located centrally and at the eastern end of the project corridor, a three-mile bridge, a two-mile bridge, a two-bridge option providing one two- and one one-mile bridge, a two-bridge option with bridges extending 1.3 miles and 9.7 mile, three 3,000-foot bridges, and a 10-mile bridge extending the entire length of the corridor. The tentatively selected plan would provide for a two-mile bridge located at the western end of the corridor and a one-mile bridge at the eastern end. Costs for construction, under the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; annualized costs are estimated at #$9.06 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of 23 to 31 acres of functional wetlands, which would be incorporated into the highway rights-of-way. With the removal of the highway embankment, five to 17 acres of wetlands would be restored. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would result in the alteration of an historic resource.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PROJECT: MODIFIED WATER DELIVERIES TO EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, FLORIDA (SECOND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT) FOR THE TAMIAMI TRAIL MODIFICATIONS). AN - 36378859; 050611D-050349_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of culverts under the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41) through the Everglades National Park (ENP) in southern Florida is proposed. Improvements in the delivery of water from Water Conservation Area 3B of the ENP expansion area in Northeast Shark River Slough immediately south of Tamiami Trail. These improvements were documented in a final EIS issued in 1992. At that time, it was believed that the existing 19 sets of individual culverts under the trail were sufficient to pass the required volume of water from the adjoining Tamiami Canal on the north into the ENP to the south without collateral effects. Since that time, it has been determined that, under some high flow conditions, the required elevation of water in the canal would raise groundwater levels under the highway to the point that damage could result to the highway subgrade. Under extreme conditions, low spots along the highway could be overtopped. A 2003 final supplement to the 1992 EIS addressed this problem and analyzed eight alternative plans to protect the highway. The Army Corps of Engineers, the responsible federal authority, withdrew the 2003 supplement because new modeling predicted higher water levels that would damage the roadway, increased costs of construction materials, and higher costs required reanalyzing tradeoffs and benefits and costs. Alternatives evaluated in this revised draft supplemental EIS would include a 3,000-foot-bridge, four-mile bridges located centrally and at the eastern end of the project corridor, a three-mile bridge, a two-mile bridge, a two-bridge option providing one two- and one one-mile bridge, a two-bridge option with bridges extending 1.3 miles and 9.7 mile, three 3,000-foot bridges, and a 10-mile bridge extending the entire length of the corridor. The tentatively selected plan would provide for a two-mile bridge located at the western end of the corridor and a one-mile bridge at the eastern end. Costs for construction, under the preferred alternative are estimated at $125.1 million; annualized costs are estimated at #$9.06 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to precluding flooding of the highway during extreme storm events, the plan would provide additional ecological connectivity between ENP and the L-29 Canal, enhancing biological communities south of the existing Tamiami Trail. The aesthetics of the trail would be enhanced by the removal of exotic vegetation on the southern side of the highway. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The project would result in the loss of 23 to 31 acres of functional wetlands, which would be incorporated into the highway rights-of-way. With the removal of the highway embankment, five to 17 acres of wetlands would be restored. Modification of the Tamiami Trail would result in the alteration of an historic resource. The project would result in relatively minor impacts to the Osceola Camp, the Airboat Association of Florida, and three airboat tour businesses. Though noise levels in the vicinity of some sensitive receptors would exceed federal standards, this would occur regardless whether the project was implemented.

[Part 12 of 26] T2 - ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION STUDY, ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. AN - 36391785; 11694-050341_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The maintenance and improvement of the navigational facilities associated with the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) in Arkansas and Oklahoma are proposed. The ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing none-foot navigational channel on MKARNS entails the use of river training structures as well as periodic dredging at some locations within the navigation channel. Since the completion of the MKARNS in 1971, some authorized dredged material disposal sites have reached capacity and new disposal sites are required to continue channel maintenance activities. Additional, the construction of new river training structures would facilitate the maintenance of the nine-foot channel. Sustained high flows on the MKARNS have adversely affected the safety and efficiency of commercial navigation and have resulted in flood damages along the river. Commercial navigation in not operating at optimum productivity within the MKARNS since it's one-foot draft channel limits towboat loads compared to the Lower Mississippi River's authorized 12-foot draft channel. Five alternatives, including a o Action Alternative, which would consist of maintaining the existing MKARNS operation system, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve river flow management, MKARNS channel depth increases, and navigation depth maintenance. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would implement operations only flow management, deepening of the channel to a depth of 12 feet from the channel mouth of Catoose, and maintenance of the channel at that depth via periodic dredging and the addition of new dredged spoil disposal sites. The project would include 91 new and 142 modified river training structures and seven new and 13 modified revetments. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.89, resulting in annual positive net benefits of $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepened channel would add capacity to MKARNS, allowing it to dovetail seamlessly with the Mississippi River navigational channel. Damage to tugs and barges would decline significantly and the channel would be navigable under most weather conditions. Flood damages associated with the nine-foot channel would be eliminated and future flood damages would be reduced. Benefits to hydropower operations would be worth $410,000 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic communities and increase turbidity significantly in the short-term. In some cases, contaminated sediments would be disturbed and contaminants released into the water column. Increases in barge traffic and sediment suspension would occur after. Bank damage via erosion and collisions would continue, by increased capacity and maneuverability would reduce these impacts in some areas. Conversion of 1,602 acres of terrestrial habitat for dredge disposal sites could disturb or kill American burying beetles, a federally protected insect species.

The ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing none-foot navigational channel on MKARNS entails the use of river training structures as well as periodic dredging at some locations within the navigation channel. Since the completion of the MKARNS in 1971, some authorized dredged material disposal sites have reached capacity and new disposal sites are required to continue channel maintenance activities. Additional, the construction of new river training structures would facilitate the maintenance of the nine-foot channel. Sustained high flows on the MKARNS have adversely affected the safety and efficiency of commercial navigation and have resulted in flood damages along the river. Commercial navigation in not operating at optimum productivity within the MKARNS since it's one-foot draft channel limits towboat loads compared to the Lower Mississippi River's authorized 12-foot draft channel. Five alternatives, including a o Action Alternative, which would consist of maintaining the existing MKARNS operation system, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve river flow management, MKARNS channel depth increases, and navigation depth maintenance. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would implement operations only flow management, deepening of the channel to a depth of 12 feet from the channel mouth of Catoose, and maintenance of the channel at that depth via periodic dredging and the addition of new dredged spoil disposal sites. The project would include 91 new and 142 modified river training structures and seven new and 13 modified revetments. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.89, resulting in annual positive net benefits of $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepened channel would add capacity to MKARNS, allowing it to dovetail seamlessly with the Mississippi River navigational channel. Damage to tugs and barges would decline significantly and the channel would be navigable under most weather conditions. Flood damages associated with the nine-foot channel would be eliminated and future flood damages would be reduced. Benefits to hydropower operations would be worth $410,000 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic communities and increase turbidity significantly in the short-term. In some cases, contaminated sediments would be disturbed and contaminants released into the water column. Increases in barge traffic and sediment suspension would occur after. Bank damage via erosion and collisions would continue, by increased capacity and maneuverability would reduce these impacts in some areas. Conversion of 1,602 acres of terrestrial habitat for dredge disposal sites could disturb or kill American burying beetles, a federally protected insect species.

AN - 36379587; 11694-050341_0016 AB - PURPOSE: The maintenance and improvement of the navigational facilities associated with the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) in Arkansas and Oklahoma are proposed. The ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing none-foot navigational channel on MKARNS entails the use of river training structures as well as periodic dredging at some locations within the navigation channel. Since the completion of the MKARNS in 1971, some authorized dredged material disposal sites have reached capacity and new disposal sites are required to continue channel maintenance activities. Additional, the construction of new river training structures would facilitate the maintenance of the nine-foot channel. Sustained high flows on the MKARNS have adversely affected the safety and efficiency of commercial navigation and have resulted in flood damages along the river. Commercial navigation in not operating at optimum productivity within the MKARNS since it's one-foot draft channel limits towboat loads compared to the Lower Mississippi River's authorized 12-foot draft channel. Five alternatives, including a o Action Alternative, which would consist of maintaining the existing MKARNS operation system, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve river flow management, MKARNS channel depth increases, and navigation depth maintenance. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would implement operations only flow management, deepening of the channel to a depth of 12 feet from the channel mouth of Catoose, and maintenance of the channel at that depth via periodic dredging and the addition of new dredged spoil disposal sites. The project would include 91 new and 142 modified river training structures and seven new and 13 modified revetments. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.89, resulting in annual positive net benefits of $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepened channel would add capacity to MKARNS, allowing it to dovetail seamlessly with the Mississippi River navigational channel. Damage to tugs and barges would decline significantly and the channel would be navigable under most weather conditions. Flood damages associated with the nine-foot channel would be eliminated and future flood damages would be reduced. Benefits to hydropower operations would be worth $410,000 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic communities and increase turbidity significantly in the short-term. In some cases, contaminated sediments would be disturbed and contaminants released into the water column. Increases in barge traffic and sediment suspension would occur after. Bank damage via erosion and collisions would continue, by increased capacity and maneuverability would reduce these impacts in some areas. Conversion of 1,602 acres of terrestrial habitat for dredge disposal sites could disturb or kill American burying beetles, a federally protected insect species.

AN - 36378816; 11694-050341_0023 AB - PURPOSE: The maintenance and improvement of the navigational facilities associated with the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) in Arkansas and Oklahoma are proposed. The ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing none-foot navigational channel on MKARNS entails the use of river training structures as well as periodic dredging at some locations within the navigation channel. Since the completion of the MKARNS in 1971, some authorized dredged material disposal sites have reached capacity and new disposal sites are required to continue channel maintenance activities. Additional, the construction of new river training structures would facilitate the maintenance of the nine-foot channel. Sustained high flows on the MKARNS have adversely affected the safety and efficiency of commercial navigation and have resulted in flood damages along the river. Commercial navigation in not operating at optimum productivity within the MKARNS since it's one-foot draft channel limits towboat loads compared to the Lower Mississippi River's authorized 12-foot draft channel. Five alternatives, including a o Action Alternative, which would consist of maintaining the existing MKARNS operation system, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve river flow management, MKARNS channel depth increases, and navigation depth maintenance. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would implement operations only flow management, deepening of the channel to a depth of 12 feet from the channel mouth of Catoose, and maintenance of the channel at that depth via periodic dredging and the addition of new dredged spoil disposal sites. The project would include 91 new and 142 modified river training structures and seven new and 13 modified revetments. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.89, resulting in annual positive net benefits of $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepened channel would add capacity to MKARNS, allowing it to dovetail seamlessly with the Mississippi River navigational channel. Damage to tugs and barges would decline significantly and the channel would be navigable under most weather conditions. Flood damages associated with the nine-foot channel would be eliminated and future flood damages would be reduced. Benefits to hydropower operations would be worth $410,000 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic communities and increase turbidity significantly in the short-term. In some cases, contaminated sediments would be disturbed and contaminants released into the water column. Increases in barge traffic and sediment suspension would occur after. Bank damage via erosion and collisions would continue, by increased capacity and maneuverability would reduce these impacts in some areas. Conversion of 1,602 acres of terrestrial habitat for dredge disposal sites could disturb or kill American burying beetles, a federally protected insect species.

AN - 36372408; 11694-050341_0019 AB - PURPOSE: The maintenance and improvement of the navigational facilities associated with the McClellan Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) in Arkansas and Oklahoma are proposed. The ongoing operation and maintenance of the existing none-foot navigational channel on MKARNS entails the use of river training structures as well as periodic dredging at some locations within the navigation channel. Since the completion of the MKARNS in 1971, some authorized dredged material disposal sites have reached capacity and new disposal sites are required to continue channel maintenance activities. Additional, the construction of new river training structures would facilitate the maintenance of the nine-foot channel. Sustained high flows on the MKARNS have adversely affected the safety and efficiency of commercial navigation and have resulted in flood damages along the river. Commercial navigation in not operating at optimum productivity within the MKARNS since it's one-foot draft channel limits towboat loads compared to the Lower Mississippi River's authorized 12-foot draft channel. Five alternatives, including a o Action Alternative, which would consist of maintaining the existing MKARNS operation system, are considered in this final EIS. The proposed action would involve river flow management, MKARNS channel depth increases, and navigation depth maintenance. The preferred alternative (Alternative E) would implement operations only flow management, deepening of the channel to a depth of 12 feet from the channel mouth of Catoose, and maintenance of the channel at that depth via periodic dredging and the addition of new dredged spoil disposal sites. The project would include 91 new and 142 modified river training structures and seven new and 13 modified revetments. The estimated benefit-cost ratio is 1.89, resulting in annual positive net benefits of $10.5 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The deepened channel would add capacity to MKARNS, allowing it to dovetail seamlessly with the Mississippi River navigational channel. Damage to tugs and barges would decline significantly and the channel would be navigable under most weather conditions. Flood damages associated with the nine-foot channel would be eliminated and future flood damages would be reduced. Benefits to hydropower operations would be worth $410,000 annually. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging would destroy benthic communities and increase turbidity significantly in the short-term. In some cases, contaminated sediments would be disturbed and contaminants released into the water column. Increases in barge traffic and sediment suspension would occur after. Bank damage via erosion and collisions would continue, by increased capacity and maneuverability would reduce these impacts in some areas. Conversion of 1,602 acres of terrestrial habitat for dredge disposal sites could disturb or kill American burying beetles, a federally protected insect species.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - NEW RUNWAYS, TERMINAL FACILITIES, AND RELATED RACILITIES AT WASHINGTON DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, DULLES, VIGINIA. AN - 36365790; 050452F-050336_0001 AB - PURPOSE: Improvements at the Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), Dulles, Virginia is proposed. In 1985, the federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the owner and operator of IAD at the time, completed a mater plan study identifying a comprehensive program for IAD development. FAA leased IAD to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in 1987, and the authority assumed responsibility and control of IAD property until 2067. Elements of the long-term development program have been refined through planning studies completed in 190, 202, and 2003. In 2002, the authority prepared an updated airport layout plan (ALP) depicting the major development projects recommended in the 1985 master plan study and subsequent planning studies. Revisions of the ALP have been submitted to the FAA in 2003 and 2004. This EIS covers proposals under the ALP. Proposed improvements to IAD include The ALP proposal would include a new parallel north-south runway, extending 9,473 feet at a width of 150 feet ad a new parallel east-west runway extending 10,500 feet at a width of 150 feet. The north-south runway would be located on the west side of the airport and is designated Runway 1W/19W for the purposes of this EIS, though it would be designated 1W/1W, while existing Runway 1L/19R would be redesignated Runway 1C/19C. The proposed east-west runway would be located on the south side of the airport and designated Runway 12R/30L, while existing Runway 12/30 would be redesignated Runway 12L/30R. The project would also include the construction of associated taxiways and navigational aids for the proposed runways, property acquisition, Tier 3 Concourse development, relocation of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service Sterling facilities, and extension of the automated people mover. A No Action Alternative and six action alternatives are considered in this final EIS, though only the No Action and two action alternatives are retained for detailed evaluation. Costs of the build alternatives are $1.49 billion and $1.51 billion. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Proposed improvements under the ALD would enable the airport to meet forecasted levels of aviation activity safely and efficiently. The new runways would reduce aircraft noise impacts related to airport operations. Optimum utilization of the IAD would be promoted. Operations during instrument meteorological conditions, including simultaneous operations on north-south and east-west runways, would be possible. The provision of redundant runways would reduce take-off and landing delays. Adequate passenger terminal and aircraft gate capacity would be provide to accommodate forecasted growth in aviation demand. IAD improvements would create over 18,000 jobs, and contribute $2.21 billion to $2.25 billion annually to the local economy. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Fifteen noise sensitive sites would lie within the area affected by noise levels equal to or exceeding 60 decibels on the A-weighted scale. Airport development would affect approximately 40 acres of prime farmland, 3,500 acres of biotic communities, including 174 to 180 acres of wetlands and 60,856 to 63,500 linear feet of stream. The new developments would encroach into 3 to 39 acres of floodplain land and would lie within a coastal zone management area.

AN - 36446626; 11681 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of a portion of US 90 in Lafourche and St. Charles parishes, Louisiana is proposed to provide for a new section of independent utility highway along the Interstate 49 (I-49) corridor. I-49 is intended to provide a transcontinental highway linking the coastal ports of Louisiana to the entire central United States and central Canada. In Louisiana, I-49 would connect the interchange of I-49 and I-10 in New Orleans with I-49 in Arkansas. I-49 is currently complete between Shreveport and Lafayette. The study area for the independent utility project now under consideration extends from Raceland to the Davis Pond Diversion Canal. A No-Build Alternative and six build alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would link four of the build alternatives/ Cost of the preferred alternative is estimated at $855.7 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to providing a freeway segment as part of the proposed connection of Louisiana to Canada, the project could result in the improvement of access throughout the southern region of Louisiana. It could relieve congestion on I-10 between Lafayette and New Orleans. The freeway would facilitate hurricane evacuation, increase capacity to meet travel demand in 2030, improve safety and efficiency through improved highway design standards, and enhance the economic potential of Louisiana through improved access to ports and other multi-modal transportation centers. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way development would involve displacement of residences and businesses, wetlands, prime farmland, 100-year floodplain land, and vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, as well as degradation of visual quality within the corridor, including aesthetics associated with one state scenic stream.

The advection-diffusion equation was used to investigate the impact of log-normal variation in hydraulic conductivity on both steady-state and transient contaminant flux through a cutoff wall with idealized initial and boundary condition. The results demonstrate that contaminant flux through cutoff walls increases as the variability in hydraulic conductivity increases while all other variables are held constant, including the area-weighted average conductivity. The effect of variability is most pronounced when advective transport and diffusive transport act in opposite directions, as occurs for circumferential cutoff walls that are operated with inward-directed hydraulic gradients to contain contaminated ground water. In this case, the increase in total outward flux due to variability of hydraulic conductivity occurs because the increase in inward advective flux in areas where the seepage velocity is higher than average is more than offset by the increase in outward diffusive flux in areas where the seepage velocity is lower than average.

These compounds have been found to persist in the environment and potentially promote detrimental biological effects. The lack of research on bioaccumulation and bioconcentration and especially dietary transfer on aquatic life has resulted in challenges in assessing ecological risks. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential trophic transfer of the explosive compounds 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) using a realistic freshwater prey/predator model and using dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), a highly bioaccumulative compound, to establish relative dietary uptake potential. The oligochaete worm Lumbriculus variegatus was exposed to super(14)C-labeled TNT, RDX or DDT for 5 hours in water, frozen in meal-size packages and subsequently fed to individual juvenile fathead minnows (Pimephalespromelas). Fish were sampled for body residue determination on days 1,2,3,4, 7, and 14 following an 8-hour gut purging period. Extensive metabolism of the parent compound in worms occurred for TNT but not for RDX and DDT. Fish body residue remained relatively unchanged over time for TNT and RDX, but did not approach steady-state concentration for DDT during the exposure period. The bioaccumulation factor (concentration in fish relative to concentration in worms) was 0.018, 0.010, and 0.422 g/g for TNT, RDX and DDT, respectively, confirming the expected relatively low bioaccumulative potential for TNT and RDX through the dietary route. The experimental design was deemed successful in determining the potential for trophic transfer of organic contaminants via a realistic predator/prey exposure scenario.

Lessons learned are based on responses to five questions to the NTRC. What was the best thing about the experience? What was the worst thing about the experience? What one thing was not done that should have been done? What is the most important lesson for similar future committees? Are there any other lessons? Several important cross-cutting themes were recommended for future national review groups: (1) a national review group adds value and (2) the Corps must early on think through the structure, process and use of the review group, including: the group's purpose, the degree of independence or interaction, treatment of Committee members, the use of the group's comments, scheduling of group activities, and needs to support the group. While the NTRC found much that should lead to improvements for future groups, it strongly recommends that seeking top professional advice during the course of study is appropriate for the Corps. Committee members found their experiences to be professionally and personally rewarding.

A one-compartment model was used to characterize uptake (k sub(u)) and elimination (k sub(e)) rate constants and to estimate bioconcentration factors (BCFs). The compounds investigated in this study are weakly hydrophobic. Kinetically derived BCFs (9.6, 13.1, 0.5, 1.7, and 0.5 ml g super(-1) for TNT, 2-ADNT, 2,4-DANT, RDX, and HMX, respectively) confirmed the expected low bioaccumulative potential of those compounds and the positive relationship between log BCF and log K sub(ow) (1.6, 2.0, 0.8, 0.9, and 0.2 for TNT, 2-ADNT, 2,4-DANT, RDX, and HMX, respectively). The uptake clearance (k sub(u)) was relatively slow for all compounds (7.3, 12.6, 1.3, 0.15, and 0.06 ml g super(-1)h super(-1) for TNT, 2-ADNT, 2,4-DANT, RDX, and HMX, respectively), and overall, it decreased with decreasing compound hydrophobicity. Elimination was extremely fast for the nitroaromatic compounds (0.77, 0.96, and 2.74 h super(-1) for TNT, 2-ADNT, and 2,4-DANT, respectively), thus resulting in very short biological half-lives (<1 hour), but it was much slower for the cyclonitramines (0.09 h super(-1) for RDX and 0.12 h super(-1) for HMX). Although ADNTs were present in fish exposed to TNT, the parent compound was the dominant compound in tissues during the uptake and elimination exposures. The rates of metabolite formation (0.06 h super(-1)) and elimination (0.16 h super(-1)) were much slower than the rate of elimination of the parent compound (0.80 h super(-1)). Because of the fast elimination rate of TNT and its transformation products and the exceedingly low bioaccumulative potential of RDX and HMX, exposure conditions likely associated with the presence of explosives in aquatic systems are unlikely to pose unacceptable risks to fish.

Of primary concern is the issue of safety; one does not want to risk an explosion when using high-power electromagnetic sensors to search for buried unexploded ordnance. While explicit predictive models could not be found because of the unpredictable effects of soil chemistry, simple statistical analyses did provide conservative guidance at fixed frequencies and selected soil moisture contents.

The emphasis of this paper is on the overall performance of these models in coastal inlets. Both wave models are similar in that they employ a finite-difference method to solve the wave action conservation equation for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. However, these models differ in the computation of diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and representation of the directional spectrum transformation. The models' performance is compared with a new set of physical model data for four different idealized inlet configurations. Wave height is measured in the physical model by a linear array of capacitance wave gauges, and wave direction is measured by a remote-sensing video-camera system. The comparison with data is presented as mean absolute relative errors of wave height and mean absolute difference of wave direction. Both wave models produced similar results, but neither could accurately describe waves observed in the physical model in inlets and near structures. The mean absolute relative error of wave height prediction from models was between 22 and 40% as compared with the measured data. The mean absolute error of wave direction estimates ranged from 5 to 12 degrees. Overall, wave direction estimates from GHOST in inlets and near structures compared slightly better with measurements.

No WQC to protect aquatic life exist for total dissolved solids (TDS). Some water-treatment processes (e.g., pH modifications) discharge wastewaters of potentially adverse TDS into freshwater systems. Strong correlations between specific conductivity, a TDS surrogate, and several biotic indices in a previous study suggested that TDS caused by a coal-mine effluent was the primary stressor. Further acute and chronic testing in the current study with Ceriodaphnia dubia in laboratory-manipulated media indicated that the majority of the effluent toxicity could be attributed to the most abundant ions in the discharge, sodium (1952 mg/L) and/or sulfate (3672 mg/L), although the hardness of the effluent (792 plus or minus 43 mg/L as CaCO sub(3)) ameliorated some toxicity. Based on laboratory testing of several effluent-mimicking media, sodium- and sulfate-dominated TDS was acutely toxic at approximately 7000 mu S/cm (5143 mg TDS/L), and chronic toxicity occurred at approximately 3200 mu S/cm (2331 mg TDS/L). At a lower hardness (88 mg/L as CaCO sub(3)), acute and chronic toxicity end-points were decreased to approximately 5000 mu S/cm (3663 mg TDS/L) and approximately 2000 mu S/cm (1443 mg TDS/L), respectively. Point-source discharges causing in-stream TDS concentrations to exceed these levels may risk impairment to aquatic life.

The ensuing fire and related fire-fighting activities led to the collapse of a portion of the building approximately one-half hour after the impact. In this paper, the reasons for the demonstrated toughness of the reinforced concrete structure are examined and attributed to use of spiral columns, effective splicing of reinforcing bars, strong girders, and short span lengths.

AN - 36437325; 11672 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a light-rail transit (LRT) project for the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor in the southwest portion of Salt Lake County, Utah are proposed. The study area lies in the southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, consisting of the cities of Murray, Midvale, West Jordan, and South Jordan and including a planned community, the Daybreak Development. Several studies have identified this area as having need for significantly improved public transportation, particularly of the High Capacity Transit variety. The proposed LRT services would be provided between the Mid-Jordan Transit Corridor, serving the Midvale, Murray, West Jordan, South Jordan, and Daybreak Development, and Salt Lake City. Nine new LRT stations would be provided, one each at Bingham Junction (Midvale, Gardner Village, Redwood (West Jordan City Center, 2700 West, Bangerter, 4800 West, 5600 West, Daybreak North, and Daybreak South. The project would involve Construction of 10.1 miles of new track parallel to the single-track of the Bingham Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad from the existing North/South TRAX LRT line at the existing 6400 Station to approximately 5600 West, where the line would turn south into the new Daybreak Development. Reconstruction/relation of the existing single-track of the Bingham Branch would also be required to ensure that the LRT and the railroad freight trains would be on separate tracks. Estimated cost of the LRT alternative is $289 million POSITIVE IMPACTS: The LRT extension would accommodate a portion of the existing and projected travel demand through the year 2025 along the study corridor in the rapidly growing southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, thereby increasing transit rider ship in the Salt Lake City area and decreasing the use of vehicular transport, which causes traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. Regional air quality and noise levels along road corridors would also improve significantly. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No-Build Alternative and an enhanced bus service alternative. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Land acquisition requirements at station sties would result in the displacement of three residential and seven commercial structures housing eight businesses. The LRT line would cross the 100-eyar floodplain at three locations. Rights-of-way clearance would displace 174 acres of mostly disturbed vegetation and 0.32 acres of wetlands. Five archaeological sites and two historic sites could be adversely affected, and noise levels in the vicinity of Green Meadow Park would be increased. A planned trail along the Birmingham Branch could be affected. System operational noise would exceed federal standards at 41 sensitive residential receptor sites; and additional 13 sites would experience significant noise increases. Vibratory impacts would affect 55 properties. Overhead structures would mar visual aesthetics along the corridor.

AN - 36441361; 11666 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36380728; 050490F-050313_0045 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36379791; 050490F-050313_0091 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36379036; 050490F-050313_0059 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36378293; 050490F-050313_0024 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36374779; 050490F-050313_0032 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36374096; 050490F-050313_0067 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36373492; 050490F-050313_0019 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36369697; 050490F-050313_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999.

AN - 36366238; 050490F-050313_0085 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36365474; 050490F-050313_0039 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat.

AN - 36364749; 050490F-050313_0026 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat. In 1998, the Service had concluded that continue leaching of existing concentrations of ammonia and other constituents into the river would jeopardize razorback sucker and Colorado pike minnow. The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

The currently proposed project would undertake to remediate 11.9 million tons of contaminated materials located in a 130-acre unlined pile that occupies the western portion of the site as well as 39,700 tons located on nearby properties and develop and implement a groundwater compliance strategy for the site, using using the Final EIS for the Uranium Mill Tailings Action Ground Water Project (DOE\EIS-0198) of October 1996. The surface remediation alternatives analyzed in this final EIS include onsite disposal of contaminated materials and offsite disposal at one of three alternative locations in Utah using one or more transportation options, specifically, truck, rail, and slurry pipeline. The EIS also considers a No Action Alternative. The preferred alternative would involve off-site disposal of the Moab uranium mill tailings pile, combined with active groundwater remediation at the Moab site. The preferred off-site disposal site location would be the Crescent Junction site, and the preferred mode of transportation of the waste material would be rail. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The remediation program would address materials at the Moab site and in its vicinity that contain that exceed federal water pollutant concentration standards, affecting river fish habitat and presenting a human health hazard. The remediation project would contribute significantly to the local economy, including creation of up to 778 direct and indirect jobs during the first (peak) year of activity. five borrow materials would be needed to construct a disposal cell cover and to reclaim some site surface areas after completion of remediation under all action alternatives; impacts to 10 potential borrow areas are assessed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The 100- and 500-year flood events could inundate part of one of the disposal sites under consideration, resulting in the release of additional contamination into groundwater and surface flows. Potential wetland areas could be threatened at one disposal site. Transportation of tailings by slurry pipeline would involve provision of a crossing of the Colorado River, the Matheson Wetlands Preserve, and a number or perennial and intermittent streams. Truck or rail transport modes would require annual withdrawals of 235 to 240 acre-feet of water from the river, while use of the slurry pipeline would require 730 acre-feet of annual withdrawals. Fifty acres of wildlife habitat would be temporarily lost at the Moab site, and up to 435 acres of undisturbed rangeland and the associated forage would be dedicated to the disposal cell under offsite disposal alternatives. Archaeological resources would probably be adversely impacted under any action alternative.

AN - 36361329; 050490F-050313_0078 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of remediation of uranium tailings on the Moab mill site in Grand and San Juan counties, Utah is proposed. The 439-acre site lies three miles northwest of the city of Moab on the west bank of the Colorado River at its confluence with Moab Wash. The site is a former uranium-ore processing facility that was owned and operated by the Uranium Reduction Company and later Atlas Minerals Corporation. The mill ceased operations in 1984 and has been dismantled, excepting one building that is currently used for vehicle maintenance and could be used as office space during remediation. In 1996, Atlas submitted a reclamation plan and an application for an amendment to its Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to allow for the reclamation of the site, the plan for which was described in a final EIS of March 1999. The EIS did not address groundwater standards compliance or remediation in properties in the vicinity of the site, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expressed concerns regarding the impacts of contaminants reaching the Colorado River, particularly effects on four endangered species of fish and critical habitat.
