FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The intent
of this project is to provide HQINSCOM
with increased space that supports
expanding intelligence missions and
associated personnel increases,
particularly for the IDC. the proposed
IDC project provides a multi-story,
multi-purpose, 233,000 gross square foot
facility, to include all required
mechanical, electrical, fire protection,
redundant power and information
systems. It will also include the
installation of physical security and
access control systems. A unique
requirement of the IDC is its need for
larger, open work areas which must also
allow the flexibility of periodic
reconfiguration. The typical, economical
structural design of a 30 foot by 30 foot
structural column grid is inadequate for
the IDC. A minimum 30′ by 45′ grid is
required. Other key components of this
facility include the following: secure
facility space; specialized operations
space; special equipment storage;
classrooms; server room; wellness room
and showers; cafeteria; mechanical/
utility rooms; bathrooms; training area;
storage areas; library; office space; and
administrative support areas. Other
required support facilities to be built
include walks, curbs and gutters,
surface parking, site improvements,
HVAC, and power generation
equipment.
The IDC Environmental Assessment is
available for public review at
Directorate of Installation Support,
Environmental and Natural Resource
Division (9430 Jackson Loop, Suite 107,
Fort Belvoir, VA). It is also available at
the following four Fairfax County Public
Library local branches: John Marshall

Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Brevard County (Mid-Reach) Shore
Protection Project Located in Brevard
County, FL
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Jacksonville District, intends
to prepare a Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
(DSEIS) for the Brevard County (MidReach) Shore Protection Feasibility
Study. The study will focus on 7.6 miles
of developed shoreline, also referred to
as the ‘‘Mid-Reach’’, from the south end
of Patrick Air Force Base to just north
of Indialantic. Ongoing erosion
problems are endangering the shoreline
infrastructure within the study area. In
cooperation with Brevard County, the
study will evaluate alternative solutions
that will maximize shore protection
while minimizing environmental
impacts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: a.
Proposed Action. The Brevard County,
FL, (Mid-Reach) Shore Protection
Feasibility Study was authorized by
Section 418 of the Water Resources and
Development act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–
541). The entire 7.6-mile length of the
Mid-Reach shoreline has been critically
eroded with 62% of its oceanfront
development anticipated to be lost to
storm damage during the next 50 years.
Placement of beach quality sand from
various sources along the Mid-Reach
will be evaluated with the intent of
providing the greatest opportunity of
shoreline protection. Environmental
considerations will be addressed in a
DSEIS, which will supplement the

Protection Project in 1996. Subsequently
a final SEIS will be published.
b. Alternatives. Specific proposed
alternatives at this time include
hydraulic beach fill along the entire
length or portions of the Mid-Reach,
truck-haul beach fill along the entire
length or portions of the Mid-Reach,
dune fill, and no-action.
c. Scoping Process. the scoping
process as outlined by the Council on
Environmental Quality would be
utilized to involve Federal, State, and
local agencies, affected Indian tribes,
and other interested persons and
organizations. A scoping letter dated
April 1, 2005, was sent to the
appropriate parties requesting their
comments and concerns. Any persons
and organizations wishing to participate
in the scoping process should contact
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the
above address.
Significant issues to be analyzed in
the DSEIS would include effects on
Federally listed threatened and
endangered species, Essential Fish
Habitat with particular concern for
nearshore coquina reefs and worm rock.
Other issues would be health and safety,
water quality, aesthetics and recreation,
fish and wildlife resources, cultural
resources, socio-economic resources,
and any issues identified through
scoping and public involvement.
The proposed action would be
coordinated with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
pursuant to Seciton 7 of the Endangered
Species Act, with the NMFS concerning
Essential Fish Habitat, and with the
State Historic Preservation Officer.
The proposed action would also
involve evaluation for compliance with
guidelines pursuant to Section 404(b) of
the Clean Water Act; application (to the
State of Florida) for Water Quality
Certification pursuant to Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act; certification of
state lands, easements, and rights of
way; and determination of Coastal Zone
Management Act consistency.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the Non-Federal sponsor, Brevard
County, would provide extensive
information and assistance on the
resources to be impacted and
alternatives.
