FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Doug Jacobs, Deputy Associate Regional
Director for Lands, Resources, and
Planning at (202) 619–7025.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Based
upon new policies adopted since
Hurricane Katrina, the USACE has
deemed the 17th Street temporary
barrier unreliable and decertified the
levee. FEMA is responsible for issuing
floodplain maps. FEMA proposes to
treat the 17th Street closure as though
it does not exist, putting a large portion
of the monumental core and downtown
Washington, DC, within the 100-year
flood zone.
If the map is published as FEMA
proposes, the buildings located within
this zone would be required to buy
additional flood insurance and/or make
costly upgrades to comply with building
standards for facilities within a 100-year
floodplain. In addition, projects that are
currently in development would need to
be revised and could be delayed in
order to comply with these building
codes. At the request of the District of
Columbia (District), FEMA has agreed to
delay the final issuance of the new
floodplain mapping until November
2009 to allow the District and other
affected federal agencies time to design
and implement an interim solution that
will reliably stop the 100-year flood at
17th Street.
Due to the compressed deadline, the
National Park Service has been working
in collaboration with the District,
USACE, the State Historic Preservation
Officer, and the staffs of the National
Capital Planning Commission and the
Commission of Fine Arts to develop an
appropriate range of alternatives. The
EA evaluates five alternatives, all of
which incorporate a permanent
structure from Overlook Terrace in
Constitution Gardens to the west side of
17th Street and another permanent
structure on the east side of 17th Street
which extends into the natural rise of
the Washington Monument Grounds.
The intervening space across 17th Street
will have footings designed to receive a
temporary post and panel closure
system that would be deployed only
during a major flood event. The
permanent structures on either side of
17th Street will be a combination of
earthen berms and concrete walls/
embankments which will be clad in
stone during a subsequent phase of the
project. Alternative 1 has been
identified as the preferred alternative
and has been fully coordinated with the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
National Mall Plan which is currently
under development by the National Park
Service.
The alternative selected in the EA will
be further developed into preliminary
and final designs which will be subject
to additional review by the National
Park Service, the National Capital
Planning Commission and the
Commission of Fine Arts.
