SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Baltimore District, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), has prepared a

17:59 Sep 05, 2008
Jkt 214001
Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Atlantic
Coast of Maryland Shoreline Protection
Project (Atlantic Coast Project). The
SEIS evaluated new borrow sources to
provide sand for routine periodic beach
nourishment of Ocean City, MD, for the
years 2010–2044. Existing borrow
sources in state waters are anticipated to
be exhausted after about 2010.
Between 6,800,000 and 15,000,000
cubic yards of sand would be needed
through 2044, depending on future
storm frequency and intensity. Three
offshore shoals in Federal waters are
proposed as sand sources: Weaver, Isle
of Wight, and ‘‘A.’’ Sand may also be
dredged from Shoal ‘‘B,’’ also known as
Bass Grounds or First Lump, in the
future, but only if its value as a fishing
ground declines substantially.
Guidelines to minimize long-term
impacts to the offshore shoals were
formulated in coordination with
resource agency personnel and
academic experts. Dredging would be
conducted in accordance with these
guidelines. Specific dredging plans
would be developed in coordination
with resource agencies prior to each
beach nourishment cycle.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Atlantic Coast Project is designed to
provide coastal flood and erosion
protection to Ocean City, MD against a
100-year storm on the Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic Coast of Maryland and
Assateague Island Virginia Feasibility
Report and Final Environmental Impact
Statement for the project was finalized
in August 1980. Subsequent
environmental documents were
prepared for the project in 1989
(Atlantic Coast of Maryland Hurricane
Protection Project Final General Design
Memorandum, Book 1 Main Report and
Environmental Assessment) and 1993
(Environmental Assessment for the Use
of Borrow Area No. 9 as Part of the
Periodic Renourishment and
Maintenance of the Atlantic Coast of
Maryland Shoreline Protection Project).
The project was completed in 1994.
Periodic nourishment and maintenance
of the beach are required to maintain the
design level of protection. Since 1998, a
period of few severe storms,
approximately 800,000 cubic yards of

sand have been placed on Ocean City
beach every four years.
This Final SEIS documents findings
of investigations conducted to select
new borrow sources for the Atlantic
Coast Project through the remainder of
the project’s 50 year economic life.
Studies to develop the borrow plan were
conducted by USACE in partnership
with the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources (DNR), Minerals
Management Service (MMS), Ocean
City, and Worcester County. DNR is the
cost-sharing non-Federal sponsor of the
study with USACE; MMS is a
cooperating agency. A Notice of Intent
(NOI) to prepare a General Reevaluation
Report and Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement was
published in the Federal Register on
October 21, 2003 (68 FR 60095).
Coordination with resource agency
personnel, academic experts, and
fishermen was undertaken during plan
formulation. The USEPA listed the draft
SEIS among its weekly receipts in the
Federal Register on July 6, 2007 (72 FR
37006). An NOA was published in the
Federal Register on July 10, 2007 (72 FR
37518) by the Department of the Army
announcing release of the draft SEIS for
public and agency review. The comment
period closed August 28, 2007. A public
meeting for the draft SEIS was held in
Ocean City on July 25th, 2007. Written
and oral comments were received from
resource agencies and the public.
Principal among the agency comments
concerned potential impacts on
Assateague Island. Revisions were made
to the draft SEIS to provide additional
information to address these comments,
as well as provide updates and correct
minor information omissions. A
summary of these revisions is provided
in the final SEIS.
Offshore shoals are the most
appropriate sand sources for the project
since these contain large quantities of
suitable sand that can be cost-effectively
obtained. Offshore shoal borrow sources
in Federal waters that could provide up
to 15,000,000 cubic yards of sand
through 2044 were sought and
identified. Three offshore shoals were
selected and proposed as sand sources
based on engineering, environmental,
and economic screening criteria:
Weaver, Isle of Wight, and ‘‘A.’’ Sand at
Shoal ‘‘B,’’ also known as Bass Grounds
or First Lump is engineeringly and
economically suitable, however that
shoal is currently an important fishing
ground. Accordingly, Shoal ‘‘B’’ would
not be utilized unless future
reevaluation finds that its relative value
as a fishing ground has declined
substantially. Sub-areas on each shoal
