The changes are focused on vegetation
clearing and sediment removal to
provide for flood control consistent with
the project scope and authorization, and
eliminate or reduce potential effects to
listed species.
The Corps conducted a public scoping
meeting on June 16, 1999, in Oceanside,
California. This scoping meeting was
held to solicit public input on
significant environmental issues
associated with the on-going flood
control project. A second public scoping
meeting will not be held.
Useful information requested includes
other environmental studies, published
and unpublished data, and alternatives
that should be addressed in the analysis.
Individuals and agencies may offer
information relevant or data relevant to
the proposed study and provide
comments by mailing the information to
Ms. Tiffany Kayama (see DATES and
ADDRESSES). Request to be placed on the
mailing list for announcements and the
Draft SEIS/EIR also should be sent to
Ms. Kayama (see ADDRESSES).
A fully array of alternatives to the
proposed action will be developed for
analyses, including the no action plan.

are environmentally beneficial, the
relative magnitude of the impacts in the
context of greater Everglades’s
restoration was determined not to be
significant. There are not expected to be
any adverse impacts on public health
and safety; the affected area (Acme
Basin B) is not environmentally unique;
the significant WCA–1 wetlands will
benefit by a relatively small increment,
as will Lake Worth Lagoon. No public
controversy related to the proposed
alternatives developed during scoping
for this project, nor are there high levels
of uncertainty, unique or unknown risks
associated with the study, nor have
surveys revealed the presence of any
significant wildlife, cultural resource
elements or contaminants.
An environmental Assessment will be
prepared and coordinated for the
proposed action. This document is
expected to be available in August 2005.

ACTION: Notice; cancellation.
AGENCY:
The Jacksonville District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers hereby cancels
its Notice of Intent to prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
for the Acme Basin B Discharge Project,
as published in Federal Register on
Friday, May 24, 2002 (67 FR 36577).
The notice is canceled because,
during scoping for this project and
development of alternatives, it appeared
that each of the alternatives would affect
the same 410 acres of agricultural lands,
converting sugar cane into functional
wetlands, resulting in discharge of
cleaner water into Loxahatchee National
Wildlife Refuge (WCA–1), increasing the
spatial extent of Everglades wetlands
and reducing freshwater flows into Lake
Worth Lagoon. While all of these effects
