were delineated based on suitability of
sand for beach nourishment purposes.
Dredging guidelines to minimize longterm impacts to the offshore shoals were
formulated. No more than about 5% of
the total volume of any shoal would be
dredged. Dredging on any given shoal
would avoid the crest, be conducted
uniformly over a wide area, go no
deeper than ambient seafloor depths,
and preferentially dredge on the up and
downdrift ends of the shoal if suitable
sand is present there.
This Final SEIS documents the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) compliance for the proposed
new offshore shoal borrow sources and
supplements previous environmental
documents. Printed and electronic
copies of the Final SEIS can be obtained
from Christopher Spaur. You may view
the Final SEIS and related information
on the worldwide web at: https://
www.nab.usace.army.mil/PN/
CivilWorks.htm.
The Final SEIS has been prepared in
accordance with (1) The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality for
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and
(3) USACE regulations for implementing
NEPA (ER–200–2–2).

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for protection of 18-Miles of coastal

Section, P.O. Box 4970, Jacksonville, FL

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: C. L.
Brooks at (904) 232–2130.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority
for the proposed study is House
Resolution 2676 adopted May 22, 2002.
A Reconnaissance Report completed in
March 2004 by the Corps, concluded
based on preliminary findings, there
was a federal interest in pursuing
shoreline protection for Flagler County,
FL.
Alternatives: Project’s alternatives
include no action and various levels of
protection along approximately 18 miles
of coastal shoreline with substantial
critically eroded areas. In addition to
various levels of beach nourishment and
periodic renourishment, the Corps will
consider other management measures
such as nearshore placement of sand,
breakwaters, submerged artificial reef,
groins, revetments, seawalls, dunes/
vegetation, change to the Coastal
Construction Control Line, relocation of
structures, moratorium on construction,
establish a no-growth program,
relocation of structures, flood proofing
of structures, and condemnation of
structures with land acquisition.
Issues: The EIS will consider impacts
on hardbottom communities, sea
grasses, protected species, shore
impacts, health and safety, water
quality, aesthetics and recreation, fish
and wildlife resources, cultural
resources, energy conservation, socioeconomic resources, navigation, and
other impacts identified through
scoping, public involvement and
interagency coordination.
Scoping: The scoping process will
involve Federal, State, County and
municipal agencies and other interested
persons and organizations. Any public
or agency scoping meeting will be
announced separately from this notice.
Public Involvement: We invite the
participation of affected Federal, State
and local agencies, affected NativeAmerican Tribes, and other interested
private organizations and individuals.
There will be a public meeting on the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
following its preparation. The date,
time, and location will be announced.
Coordination: The proposed action is
being coordinated with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS) [under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
and the Fish and Wildlife and
Coordination Act] and with the National
Marine Fisheries Service [under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act (on
Essential Fish Habitat) and Section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act]. The
proposed action is also being
coordinated with the Florida State
Historic Preservation Officer, the U.S.
Coast Guard, and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Other Environmental Review and
Consultation: The proposed action
would involve evaluation for
compliance with guidelines pursuant to
Section 404(b)(1) of the Clean Water
Act, water quality certification
(application to the State of Florida)
pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act, certification of state lands,
easements, and rights-of-way, and
determination of Coastal Zone
Management Act Consistency.
Agency Role: As the cooperating
agency, non-Federal sponsor and
leading local expert, the City of Flagler
Beach will provide information and
assistance on the resources to be
impacted, mitigation measures and
alternatives. Other agencies having
either regulatory authority or special
expertise may also be invited to become
a cooperating agency in preparation of
the EIS.
Draft EIS Preparation: It is anticipated
that the Draft EIS will be available to the
public by December 2010. As the study
and EIS develop, additional information
will be posted under Flagler County on
the Jacksonville District’s
Environmental Documents Web page at:
https://planning.saj.usace.army.mil/
envdocs/envdocsb.htm. The status of
any Florida Department of
Environmental Protection application
submitted for permit of this action will
be posted on the Internet at: https://
