project. These alternatives will be
further formulated and developed
during the scoping process and an
appropriate range of alternatives,
including the no action alternative, will
be considered in the Supplemental Draft
EIS.
5. Scoping Process. A public scoping
meeting (see DATES) will be held to
receive public comment and assess
public concerns regarding the
appropriate scope and preparation of
the DSEIS. Participation in the public
meeting by Federal, State, and local
agencies and other interested
organizations and persons is
encouraged.
The COE will also be consulting with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under
the Endangered Species Act and the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and
with the National Marine Fisheries
Service under the Magnuson-Stevens
Act and Endangered Species Act.
Additionally, the EIS will assess the
potential water quality impacts
pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act, and will be coordinated with
the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) to determine the
projects consistency with the Coastal
Zone Management Act. The COE will
closely work with DCM through the EIS
to ensure the process complies with all
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
requirements. It is the COE and DCM’s
intentions to consolidate both NEPA
and SEPA processes to eliminate
duplications.
6. Availability of the Draft
Supplemental EIS. The DSEIS is
expected to be published and circulated
sometime in early 2007, and a public
hearing will be held after the
publication of the DSEIS.

Project operations have the potential to
adversely affect and may continue to
threaten historic properties eligible for
the National Register of Historic Places.
The Lead Federal Agencies developed
this draft of the PA in cooperation and
consultation with tribes, State and tribal
historic preservation officers, the
Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, Federal land managing
agencies, and other interested parties.
