ADDRESSES:
The
USACE, Fort Worth District has
prepared a FEIS in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act. The
FEIS has been developed as a
cooperative effort by the USACE Fort
Worth District, the City of Dallas, TX
(non-federal sponsor), and the Federal
Highway Administration (cooperating
agency). The FEIS describes the
anticipated environmental and
socioeconomic impacts of the proposed
Dallas Floodway Project, and revises the
Draft EIS released April 18, 2014. The
City of Dallas proposes to implement
flood risk management elements,
Balanced Vision Plan (BVP) ecosystem
and recreation features, and Interior
Drainage Plan (IDP) improvements
within the Dallas Floodway. The project
area is located along the Trinity River
from the abandoned Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe bridge upstream to the
confluence of the West and Elm Forks,
then upstream along the West Fork for
approximately 2.2 miles, and upstream
along the Elm Fork for about 4 miles.
Section 5141 of the Water Resources
Development Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–
114; 121 Stat.1041), as amended in
2014, provides authorization for
implementation of the City of Dallas
Balanced Vision Plan Study and Interior
Drainage Plan improvements following
the preparation of required NEPA
documentation. This action is in
accordance with title 33 Code of Federal
Regulations section 325.2(a)(4), which

discusses NEPA procedures and
documentation. The purpose of the
Proposed Action is to reduce flood risk
through flood risk management,
enhance ecosystems, and provide
greater recreation opportunities within
the Dallas Floodway in Dallas, Texas.
Flooding events on the Trinity River
have historically caused loss of lives
and damage to property and structures.
Urbanization and past channelization
and clearing have significantly degraded
the natural terrestrial and aquatic
habitat of the Dallas Floodway.
Furthermore, the City of Dallas lacks
sufficient recreational opportunities for
citizens and visitors. Implementation of
the Proposed Action is needed to
comply with section 5141 of the Water
Resources Development Act of 2007, as
amended.
In addition to the Federal project
described above, the City of Dallas has
submitted an application for approval of
the entire project (BVP and IDP) as a
locally sponsored action under the
provisions of 33 United States Code
section 408 (section 408), section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (CWA), and section
10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. The
Permit Number for this action is SWF–
2014–00151.
USACE issued and made publicly
available a Draft EIS (DEIS) on April 18,
2014. The findings of the DEIS were
presented at a public meeting held on
May 8, 2014, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., at
the Dallas City Hall, L1FN Auditorium,
1500 Marilla, Dallas, Texas 75201. The
DEIS was also made available via
internet posting, hard copies available a
local libraries, and discs provided on
request. The comment period ran from
April 18 through June 17, 2014. The
USACE considered and responded to all
relevant comments received during the
Public Review Period and incorporated
all relevant comments into the FEIS.
Most of the comments were generally
beyond the scope of the EIS and were
related to the potential Trinity Parkway
project, a separate project proposed by
others.
