Bering Sea. It also has the largest auklet
population in Alaska.
Constructability criteria include
geologic stability, availability, and cost
effectiveness of an armor rock and fill
quarry sources. Environmental issues
include effects to sea bird nesting
habitat, fish and wildlife resources,
social well being, cultural resources and
justifiable and practicable mitigation
measures. Other resources and concerns
will be identified through scoping,
public involvement, and interagency
coordination.
Scoping: A copy of this notice and
additional public information will be
sent to interested parties to initiate
scoping. All parties are invited to
participate in the scoping process by
identifying any additional concerns,
issues, studies, and alternatives that
should be considered. A scoping
meeting will be held on Little Diomede
Island, AK, in the February/March 2007
time frame. The DEIS is scheduled for
release in 2009.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Wilmington District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is
conducting a study to evaluate the longterm (20-year) dredged material
placement needs and opportunities for
Wilmington Harbor. The study area
encompasses Wilmington Harbor and
the Ocean Bar approach channels,
which extend from the mouth of the
Cape Fear River in Brunswick County,
NC to a point just north of the Hilton
Railroad Bridge in New Hanover
County, near Wilmington, NC. The
study will include the preparation of a
Dredged Material Management Plan
(DMMP) and Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (DEIS) and will
identify, evaluate, screen, prioritize, and
ultimately optimize placement
alternatives resulting in the
recommendation of a plan for the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
placement of dredged materials for at
least the next 20 years.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding the DMMP and
DEIS should be directed to: Ms. Jenny
Owens; Environmental Resources
Section; U.S. Army Engineer District,
Wilmington; Post Office Box 1890;
Wilmington, NC 28402–1890;
telephone: (910) 251–4757.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USACE, Engineering Regulation (ER)
1105–2–100 mandates that the Corps
Districts develop DMMP plans for all
Federal navigation projects where there
is an indication of insufficient capacity
to accommodate maintenance dredging
for the next 20 years. The ER further
states that the Districts should consider
options that provide opportunities for
beneficial uses of dredged material. The
DMMP process began with a
Preliminary Assessment (PA) that was
completed in February 1997. The PA
identified dredged material placement
shortfalls for Wilmington Harbor and
recommended the development of a
DMMP.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, options for dredged material
management will be based on an
evaluation of the probable impact of the
proposed activity on the public interest.
The decision will reflect the national
concern for the protection and
utilization of important resources. The
benefit, which may reasonably be
expected to accrue from the proposal,
will be balanced against its reasonably
foreseeable detriments. All factors that
may be relevant to the proposal will be
considered, including wetlands; fish
and wildlife resources; cultural
resources; land use; water and air
quality; hazardous, toxic, and
radioactive substances; threatened and
endangered species; regional geology;
aesthetics; environmental justice; and
the general needs and welfare of the
public.
The alternatives currently being
considered for the DMMP include, but
are not limited to: offshore disposal in
the EPA designated Ocean Dredged
Material Disposal Site (ODMDS), beach
disposal, upland disposal at Eagle
Island, dike restoration and wetland
creation at existing islands in the Harbor
and establishment of sand recycling
islands. Additional beneficial uses will
also be investigated for the DMMP. The
DEIS will address measures, alternatives
and impacts to the selected or preferred
alternative(s).
All private parties and Federal, State,
and local agencies having an interest in
the study are hereby notified of the
PO 00000

intent to prepare a DEIS and are invited
to comment at this time. A scoping
meeting was held on December 8, 2005
and all comments received as a result of
the scoping meeting and this notice of
intent will be considered in the
preparation of the DMMP and DEIS.
The lead agency for this project is the
U.S. Army Engineer District,
Wilmington. Cooperating agency status
has not been assigned to, nor requested
by, any other agency.
The DEIS is being prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and will address the
relationship of the proposed action to
all other applicable Federal and State
Laws and Executive Orders.
The DMMP and DEIS is currently
scheduled to be available in October
2007.
