Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Everglades Restoration Transition
Plan—Phase 1

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Jacksonville District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers intends to
prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Everglades
Restoration Transition Plan (ERTP)—
Phase 1. The ERTP will supersede the
2006 IOP for the Cape Sable Seaside
Sparrow which currently regulates
operations for Central & South Florida
(C&SF) project features in the south
Dade area. The ERTP Phase 1 aims to
implement operational flexibilities
based on multi-species management.
This project is ‘‘phase 1’’ in anticipation
of subsequent operational modifications
that will be needed to move towards
Everglades restoration. Development of
the plan will include evaluation of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

relevant new species information and
hydrological data. The ERTP Draft EIS
will evaluate the anticipated affects of
implementation of operations to support
the recommendations of the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS) Biological
Opinion.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Planning Division,
Environmental Branch, P.O. Box 4970,
Jacksonville, FL, 32232–0019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs.
Susan Conner at 904–232–1782 or email at
Susan.l.Conner@.usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
a. Background—In 1999, the FWS
issued a Final Biological Opinion for the
Modified Water Deliveries to Everglades
National Park Project (MWD Project),
the C–111 Project, and the Experimental
Water Deliveries to Everglades National
Park Project. FWS concluded that the
operations, if continued, would likely
jeopardize the continued existence of
the endangered Cape Sable seaside
sparrow and adversely modify its
critical habitat. In response, the Corps
implemented an Interim Structural and
Operational Plan (ISOP) in March 2000,
followed by the Interim Operating Plan
(IOP) in July 2002. These operations
were designed to protect the sparrow
pending completion of construction of
the MWD Project and the C–111 Project.
Because of the urgency to implement
IOP in time for the next sparrow
breeding season, the IOP Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
was completed prior to conclusion of
modeling that supported the selected
plan. Pursuant to a March 2006 order by
the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, the Corps
prepared a supplement to the IOP FEIS.
The Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS), which was
completed in December 2006, updated
the IOP FEIS with modeling for the
selected alternative and actual data
collected since the May 2002 FEIS. The
IOP was intended to be continued until
the completion of the MWD project.
However, Modified Water Deliveries
project has not been fully completed,
the IOP Biological Opinion will expire
in November 2010, and new scientific
information pertaining to listed wildlife
species has become available.
b. Scoping—A scoping letter was sent
to invite comments on ERTP—Phase I
from Federal, State, and local agencies,
affected Indian Tribes, and other
interested private organizations and
individuals. The scoping letter was sent
out in December 2009. That scoping
period closed on February 1, 2010.
Based on those comments and team
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
analysis to date, USACE has determined
that an EIS is appropriate.
Subsequently, scoping comments will
be accepted for 30 days past the date of
this NOI.
c. Coordination and Public
Involvement: The Corps will serve as the
lead Federal agency in the preparation
of the Draft EIS. The Corps is in close
coordination with the FWS. The Corps
intends to coordinate and/or consult
with an interagency team of Federal,
State and Local agencies as well as
affected Indian Tribes during scoping
and preparation of the Draft EIS.
d. Other Environmental Review and
Consultation: The proposed action
would involve evaluation for
compliance with the Endangered
Species act. The USACE will be
submitting a Biological Assessment to
the FWS and the FWS will prepare a
Biological Opinion. All other applicable
Environmental regulations will be
complied with and reviews will be
completed.
e. Draft EIS Preparation: The Draft EIS
is expected to be published in June
2010.
Dated: February 17, 2010.
