AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.
SUMMARY: The draft supplement no. 2
will be prepared in conjunction with a
general reevaluation report (GRR) and
will supplement the ‘‘Final Supplement
to the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, West Tennessee Tributaries
Project (Obion-Forked Deer River
Basin),’’ filed with the Environmental
Protection Agency on February 25,
1983. A general reevaluation study will
be conducted for the entire WTT project
area to determine if there is still a
federal interest in pursuing a flood risk
management project and, if so,
recommend a plan of improvement. The
GRR and draft supplement no. 2 to the
final environmental impact statement
(FEIS) will focus on methods that
reduce flood risks within the Obion and
Forked Deer watersheds by restoring
natural floodplain functions and

reducing sedimentation that could cause
channel blockages.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Proposed Action: The project study
consists of determining flood risk
management solutions in the Obion and
Forked Deer watersheds in west
Tennessee. The project is authorized by
Section 203 of the Flood Control Act of
June 30, 1948 (Pub. L. 80–858, 62 Stat.
1171, 1175, 1178), and amended and
modified by Section 207 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of November 7, 1966
(Pub. L. 89–789, 80 Stat. 1405), and
further amended by Section 3 of the
Water Resources Development Act of
March 7, 1974 (Pub. L. 93–251, 88 Stat.
12, 14) and Section 183 of the Water
Resources Development Act of October
22, 1976 (Pub. L. 94–587, 90 Stat. 2917).
Construction began in 1961. The initial
project environmental impact statement
(EIS) was filed with the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) on
February 3, 1971. The federal court
determined in 1973 that the 1971 EIS
prepared by the Corps did not meet
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) standards and enjoined the
Corps from further construction on
March 2, 1973. The Corps filed a revised
EIS with CEQ on July 21, 1975, entitled,
‘‘Final Environmental Impact Statement
West Tennessee Tributaries Project;’’
however, the federal court in its
decision of January 27, 1978 again
determined that the FEIS was not
sufficient to meet NEPA standards and
directed that it be supplemented. A final
supplement to the FEIS was filed with
the Environmental Protection Agency
on February 25, 1983 (Record of
Decision signed August 8, 1983),
entitled, ‘‘Final Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, West
Tennessee Tributaries Project.’’ The
final supplement to the FEIS included
the addition of certain soil erosion
control and timber, fish, and wildlife
conservation features to the flood
control plan. Construction resumed in
1985 after the issuance of a consent
order (Civil Action Number C–70–349)
stating the Corps was allowed to
proceed provided they follow a protocol
in the acquisition of the 32,000 acres of
mitigation lands authorized by Section
3 of the Water Resources Development
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–251, 88 Stat. 12,
14). However, in June of 1987, the State
of Tennessee denied water quality
certification for the next item of work
and construction was again suspended.

All attempts to resolve the denial were
unproductive. By April of 1990, the
Corps had acquired 13,527 acres of
mitigation lands for the project. Several
demonstration projects were pursued
between 1992 and 2008. Most notably,
a limited reevaluation was performed in
1996 for a demonstration project in the
Middle Fork Forked Deer River and a
demonstration project in the Stokes
Creek watershed. However, the costs of
compliance with the consent order were
too great to pursue the demonstration
projects. By letter dated December 23,
2008, the State of Tennessee requested
that a general reevaluation study be
conducted for the entire project area to
determine if there is still a federal
interest in pursuing a flood risk
management project and, if so,
recommend a plan of improvement.
2. Reasonable Alternatives: A wide
range of alternatives will be examined
for the study. Alternatives will focus on
methods that control sediment entering
the Obion and Forked Deer watersheds,
restore natural floodplain functions, and
comply with the consent order while
achieving the authorized project
purpose of flood risk management.
Comparisons will be made among the
alternative plans, including the ‘‘no
action’’ alternative.
3. The Scoping Process: The purpose
of this notice is to advise all interested
parties of the intent to supplement the
‘‘Final Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, West
Tennessee Tributaries Project (ObionForked Deer River Basin)’’ and to solicit
comments and information concerning
the study. A public involvement
program has been initiated and will be
maintained throughout the study to
solicit input from individuals and
interested parties and to identify any
concerns or significant issues related to
the project. This notice is being
circulated to federal, state, and local
environmental resource and regulatory
agencies; Indian Tribes; nongovernmental organizations; and the
general public. All interested parties are
encouraged to participate in the scoping
process. A public scoping meeting will
be held on June 23, 2009, 7 p.m., at the
Temple Baptist Church, 9105 East Van
Hook, Milan, Tennessee. It is
anticipated that the draft supplement
no. 2 to the FEIS will be available for
public review during the fall of 2014. A
public meeting will be held during the
review period to receive comments and
address questions concerning the draft
report.
