Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement

to Evaluate Construction of Authorized
Improvements to the Federal

in Jackson County, MS

ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Mobile District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps),
intends to prepare a Draft Supplement
to the Environmental Impact Statement
(DSEIS) to address the potential impacts
associated with construction of
authorized improvements to the Federal
Pascagoula Harbor Navigation Project in
Jackson County, MS. The DSEIS will be
used as a basis for ensuring compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) and evaluating the
following two alternative plans: ‘‘No
Action’’ and widening and deepening to
the authorized project dimensions.
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Construction of some of the authorized
improvements was completed in 1999.
Remaining authorized elements which
will be evaluated include widening the
Gulf Entrance channel from 450 feet to
550 feet wide and deepening the Upper
Pascagoula channel from 38 feet to 42
feet deep.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action
and the DSEIS should be addressed to
Ms. Jenny Jacobson, Coastal
Environmental Team, Mobile District,

1. The March 1985 Pascagoula Harbor,
MS Feasibility Report investigated
increased widths and depths in the
Pascagoula and Bayou Casotte
navigation channels. Of the plans
initially formulated, five were selected
for detailed study along with the ‘‘No
Action’’ alternative. All plans
considered for detailed study included
deepening all the channels in
Mississippi Sound to 42 feet and the
Entrance channel to 44 feet; widening of
the Entrance channel to 550 feet;
widening of the Bayou Casotte channel
to 350 feet; and providing a 1,400-foot
turning diameter turning basin just
inside the month of Bayou Casotte. The
1985 Feasibility Report recommended
deepening and widening the Gulf
Entrance channel to 44 feet by 550 feet
from the 44-foot depth contour in the
Gulf of Mexico to the bend at the
southern end of Horn Island Pass,
deepening and widening Horn Island
Pass to 44 feet by 600 feet between the
bends at the southern and northern ends
of that pass, for a distance of about 4
and 1⁄2 miles; reconfiguring the
impoundment basin in Horn Island Pass
to provide a section within the channel
limits 1,500 feet long with a total depth
of 56 feet to facilitate maintenance by
hopper dredge, and allowing for future
realignment of the Horn Island Pass
reach as natural conditions warrant. In
addition, deepening the Lower
Pascagoula channel to 42 feet from the
bend at the north end of Horn Island
Pass, through Mississippi Sound and
into the Pascagoula River, and
terminating about 500 feet south of the
grain elevator for a total distance of
about 10 miles; widening the bend at
the junction with the Bayou Casotte
channel from the present 150 feet to 250
feet to provide a total width at the bend
of 600 feet and widening the bend at the
mouth of Pascagoula River by 280 feet
to provide a total width at the bend of
630 feet. Finally, widening and

deepening the Bayou Casotte channel to
42 feet by 350 feet from the junction
with of the main channel to the mouth
of Bayou Casotte, a distance of about 3
and 1⁄2 miles; with additional widening
at the mouth to provide a turning basin
with a total turning diameter of 1,150
feet, including the channel width;
relieving the northern portion of the
area between the junction wtih the main
ship channel from the present 500 feet
to 1,000 feet, and widening the bend at
the mouth of Bayou Casotte from the
present 50 feet to 100 feet to provide a
total width at the bend of 450 feet. A
Final EIS for the Designation of an
Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site
(ODMDS) located offshore Pascagoula,
MS was prepared in July 1991.
Construction of all phases of the
improvements, except for the Entrance
channel being widened to 550 feet and
the Pascagoula Upper channel being
deepened to 42 feet, were completed in
1999.
2. Alternative scenarios to be
considered include the ‘‘No action’’
alternative and deepening and widening
the federally authorized project to 42
feet deep in the Upper Pascagoula
channel and 550 feet wide in the Gulf
Entrance channel, respectively. In
addition, an array of disposal options
are also being evaluated for the new
work as well as for the maintenance
material including littoral zone
disposal, beneficial use, disposal in the
existing Pascagoula ODMDS, and
disposal in existing open-water disposal
sites.
3. Scoping: a. The Corps invites full
public participation to promote open
communication on the issues
surrounding the proposal. All Federal,
State, and local agencies, and other
persons or organizations that have an
interest are urged to participate in the
NEPA scoping process. Public meetings
will be held to help identify significant
issues and to receive public input and
comment.
b. The DEIS will analyze the potential
social, economic, and environmental
impacts to the local area resulting from
construction of authorized
improvements. Specifically, the
following major issues will be analyzed
in depth in the DSEIS: Hydrologic and
hydraulic regimes, threatened and
endangered species, essential fish
habitat and other marine habitat, air
quality, cultural resources,
transportation systems, alternatives,
secondary and cumulative impacts,
socioeconomic impacts, environmental
justice (effect on minorities and lowincome groups) (Executive Order
12898), and protection of children
(Executive Order 13045).

2006 time frame in the local area. Actual
time and place for the meeting and
subsequent meetings or workshops will
be announced by the Corps by issuance
of a public notice and/or notices in the
local media.
5. It is anticipated that the DSEIS will
be made available for public review in
December 2006.
