SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE),
Baltimore District has prepared a Draft
Integrated Feasibility Report &
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the flood damage reduction project
for the Town of Bloomsburg, in
Columbia County, PA. The integrated
report investigates the potential
environmental effects of an array of
alternative plans based on reducing
flood damages in Bloomsburg. The
preferred alternative includes 16,555
linear feet of levee/floodwall systems
with fourteen drainage structures, and
nine closure structures, six of which
incorporate limited road raisings. We
are making the integrated report and EIS
available to the public for a 45-day
review and comment period.
DATES: Comments need to be received
on or before June 27, 2005, to ensure
consideration in final plan
development. A public meeting on the
flood damage reduction measures
presented in the integrated report and
EIS will be held on Thursday, June 16,
2005 beginning at 7 p.m.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments
concerning this proposed project to U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore
District, Attn: Mr. Jeff Trulick, CENAB–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Town
of Bloomsburg, PA is located in
Columbia County within the Middle
Susquehanna River sub-basin. The
Susquehanna River forms the Town’s
southern boundary, and Fishing Creek
forms the northern and western
boundary.
The primary water resources problem
along the Susquehanna River at
Bloomsburg is recurrent flooding.
Recurrent flooding that occurs in the
Bloomsburg study area is a result of the
morphology of the Susquehanna River
and the regional topography. When the
Susquehanna River and a local
tributary, Fishing Creek, simultaneously
rise above flood stage, overbank
flooding can cover up to 33 percent of
the landmass within the Town of
Bloomsburg’s boundaries.
Flood damages are attributable to
overbank flooding from the
Susquehanna River and to flooding
along Fishing Creek. Past flood events
have resulted in extensive damages to
structures and their contents and have
threatened public safety. The
Bloomsburg study area includes
approximately 525 residential structures
and 75 businesses.
The recommended flood damage
reduction plan is the National Economic
Development (NED) Plan with a
Tropical Storm Agnes (440-year) level of
protection from Susquehanna river
flooding, and 100-year level of
protection from Fishing Creek flooding.
The recommended plan consists of
16,555 linear feet of levee/floodwall
systems with fourteen drainage
structures, and nine closure structures,
six of which incorporate limited road
raisings. The alignment of the line of
protection was refined based on
physical, environmental, and economic
criteria.
The project consists of a system of
earthen levees, mechanically stabilized
earth (MSE) floodwalls, concrete
floodwalls, railroad and road closure
structures and roadway relocations to
provide ramps over the line of
protection. Earthen levees are proposed
for the majority of the line of protection,
though MSE walls will be required
along portions of Fishing Creek in both
Bloomsburg and Fernville and a
concrete floodwall (H-Pile wall) will be
required along portions of Fishing Creek
in Bloomsburg. Limited riprap will be
used to protect the steep banks of
Fishing Creek from bank crest to below
the stream invert along the lower project
reaches along Fishing Creek.
