6. Previously performed oyster
restoration activities by the Norfolk
District include: Construction of
permanent oyster reef sanctuaries;
seeding of reefs with disease resistant
DEBYTM strain oysters; adaptive
management and monitoring; and
managed spat-on-shell production areas
with oysters moved to other sites in the
Bay as part of a genetic rehabilitation
stocking effort. This work is being
conducted under the authority provided
by Section 704(b) of the Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of
1986, as amended.
7. Additional public scoping meetings
will not be held for the NORMP and
PEIS. This decision was driven
primarily by the fact that the lead
agencies conducted public scoping
meetings in Maryland on the NORMP
and PEIS in 2005, prior to the decision
to prepare an integrated MarylandVirginia master plan. Also, during the
60-day public comment period
following the publication of the Draft
PEIS–ORCB (October 17–December 15,
2008), lead agencies coordinated a series
of public meetings to receive comments
on the document. This document
included the alternative of expanding
native oyster restoration, which
received much public input; therefore,
this input will adequately facilitate
scoping for this phase of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
document development and will satisfy
40 CFR 1501.7. The USACE will
conduct public meetings during the
Draft NORMP/PEIS 45-day coordination
and public review process scheduled for
early 2011, and will include interested
parties throughout the development of
the PEIS through informational
meetings, Web site postings, and other
means.
8. All interested federal, state, and
local agencies, interested private and
public organizations, affected Indian
tribes, and individuals are invited to
submit written comments concerning
the NORMP/PEIS within 30 days of the
date of this notice.
9. The anticipated date of publication
of the draft PEIS is March 2011. The
PEIS will be prepared in accordance
with (1) 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 Procedures for
Implementing NEPA (33 CFR part 230).

Chief, Civil Project Development Branch.
