Withdrawal of Notice of Intent to
Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for the Baltimore
Metropolitan Water Resources Study—

Maryland
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DOD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Baltimore District of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is
withdrawing its intent to prepare a DEIS
for the Baltimore Metropolitan Water
Resources Study—Gwynns Falls in
Baltimore County, Maryland. The Notice
of Intent for the DEIS was published in
the Federal Register on July 9, 1996
(Volume 61, Number 132, Page 36038).
Negative environmental impacts of the
recommended plan are not significant
and the Corps has determined that a
DEIS is not appropriate.

Gwynns Falls and April 2004 Baltimore
Metropolitan Water Resources Gwynns
Falls Watershed Study Draft Feasibility
Report and Integrated Environmental
Assessment (report) were made
available for agency and public review.
The public review period formally
ended on March 9, 2006. No agency or
public comments were received during
the review period. However, the
proposed projects had previously been
extensively coordinated with resource
agencies and the public and were
supported by both. The document
contains letters of support from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
(2) The report describes sanitary
sewer rehabilitation, stream restoration,
wetlands restoration, and stormwater
management projects that the Corps and
City of Baltimore (City) will construct
within the Gwynns Fall watershed. The
projects were authorized and partially
funded by the Fiscal Year 2006 and
Fiscal Year 2004 Energy and Water
Appropriations Acts (Public Laws 109–
103 and 108–137, respectively). The
2006 Act states that the City shall
receive credit toward its share for work
carried out prior to execution of a
project cooperation agreement, if the
Secretary of the Army determines that
the work is integral to the projects. The
2006 Act further provides that the City
may also receive credit for any work
performed pursuant to a project
cooperation agreement and that the City
shall be reimbursed for any work
performed that is in excess of its share
of project costs.
