Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 86 / Friday, May 5, 2017 / Notices
Supplemental Final Environmental
Impact Statement (SFEIS) to disclose
potential impacts to the natural,
physical, and human environment
resulting from modifications to
Bluestone Dam. The original EIS was
published in 1998 and a Record of
Decision (ROD) was signed in 1999
concluding the NEPA process allowing
the Corps to initiate implementation of
the Bluestone Dam Safety Assurance
(DSA) Project. When completed, the
current modifications under
construction will strengthen the dam’s
stability and allow for increased
discharge capacity through the use of
hydropower penstocks substantially
reducing risk. However, physical
modeling and expert analysis conducted
during project construction indicated
the downstream bedrock is vulnerable
to an unacceptable degree of erosion
during high flow events. The Corps has
also recognized potential for
unacceptable erosion associated with
overtopping of areas of the dam not
designed to be overtopped. After a full
consideration of alternatives to achieve
acceptable risk levels, this SFEIS
recommends implementing
modifications to the existing stilling
basin to prevent scour that could result
in spillway instability and thus dam
failure. Proposed modifications include
alteration to the existing stilling basin to
include installation of a protective
concrete apron and larger baffles among
other features described in the SFEIS.
This SFEIS also addresses the impacts
associated with prolonged construction
duration of modification features
described in the original EIS and ROD.
The review period will be open
from May 1, 2017 to May 30, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Authority: Bluestone Dam and
Reservoir was authorized by Executive
Order (EO) 7183 in 1935 and the Flood
Control Acts of 1936 and 1938 for the
purposes of flood control, low flow
augmentation, and hydroelectric power
development. The purposes were later
expanded to include recreational
activities under the Flood Control Act of
1944 and fish and wildlife enhancement
VerDate Sep<11>2014

under the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (FWCA) of 1958.
2. Background: a. Guidance for this
study is provided in USACE Engineer
Regulation (ER) 1110–2–1156 (October
2011). This guidance details agency
policy and procedures for the study and
implementation process addressing dam
safety issues.
b. Bluestone Lake is a multipurpose
component of the Kanawha River basin
system which provides for flood control,
recreation, hydropower development,
low flow augmentation, and fish and
wildlife enhancement. The project
began operation in 1949 and helps
control a 4,600 square mile drainage
area.
c. The ROD, signed in 1999,
completed the NEPA process for the
DSA project permitting the Huntington
District to begin detailed design and
subsequent construction of the
recommended alternative which
included a 13 foot cantilever wall on top
of the dam, an additional concrete
monolith on the east abutment, a
floodgate closure across WV Rt. 20,
removable closures at each end of the
spillway, high strength anchors placed
into the dam itself, massive concrete
blocks placed against the downstream
face of the dam, and a pavement for
scour protection downstream of the
hydropower penstocks. The majority of
the ongoing construction on these
measures will continue through the year
2019. The ROD for this work anticipated
construction would be completed 2005.
d. Physical modeling and expert
analysis conducted during project
construction has shown the downstream
bedrock is vulnerable to erosion during
high flow events as a result of
deficiencies with the current stilling
basin configuration. This potential
erosion creates an unacceptable level of
risk according to guidelines established
in ER 1110–2–1156, under which this
study is being conducted.
e. The SFEIS and Dam Safety
Modification report (DSMR) have
considered the structural integrity of the
dam, its ability to accommodate flood
waters as well as transportation, noise,
terrestrial, aquatic, economic,
environmental justice and cultural
resource issues associated with the
performance of the dam. The SFEIS and
DSMR has recommended any
modifications necessary to ensure the
long-term safe performance of the
structure as originally intended.
f. Modifications to meet current
acceptable risk guidelines per ER 1110–
2–1156 proposed include, alteration to
the existing stilling basin to include
installation of a protective concrete
apron and larger baffles among other

features described in the SFEIS. The No
Action alternative will also be
considered. As required by NEPA and
Corps planning guidance, the No Action
alternative will form a benchmark from
which alternatives are evaluated and
compared.
3. Public Participation: a. The SFEIS
will be made available to the public for
thirty (30) days for review and
comment. A Notice of Availability will
be advertised in affected area
newspapers informing the general
public about the SFEIS public review
period. The SFEIS and draft final ROD
can be viewed at: https://
www.lrh.usace.army.mil/Missions/
PublicReview.aspx. Copies of the SFEIS
and draft final ROD may be obtained by
contacting the Huntington District
Office of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers at (304) 399–5924 (See
ADDRESSES). All persons and
organizations that have an interest in
the Bluestone Dam Project are urged to
participate in this SFEIS review and
comment period. Upon the close of the
comment period, USACE will consider
all comments.
4. Schedule: The Supplemental Final
Environmental Impact Statement is
scheduled to be released for public
review and comment on or about May
1, 2017.
