ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, is
issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to
prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for flood risk
management measures along the North
Branch Ecorse Creek (NBEC) in Wayne
County, MI. The Draft EIS is being
prepared in conjunction with a General
Reevaluation Report (GRR) of the NBEC
to reevaluate the feasibility of providing
flood risk management measures. The
GRR/EIS is being completed in
partnership with Wayne County, MI.
The Draft EIS will address potential
environmental impacts of the
construction, operation, and
maintenance of a number of structural
and non-structural alternatives that will
be evaluated as part of the GRR study.
DATES: A public meeting on the study
will be held on October 28, 2010 at 7
p.m.
SUMMARY:
The DeCA rules for accessing records,
for contesting contents, and appealing
initial agency determinations are
contained in 32 CFR part 327, or may

Background: The NBEC has
experienced severe flooding over the
last 40 years, resulting in property
damage, sewage back-ups, road closures
and other impacts that have threatened
or resulted in lost property,
environmental and health degradation,
and lost economic value. Severe
flooding in 2000 and 2004 negatively
impacted over 9,000 individual

properties. USACE Detroit District, and
Wayne County, MI acting as the nonfederal sponsor, have formed a
partnership to reevaluate the flooding
issues along the NBEC. The GRR/EIS,
will update a feasibility study and EIS
completed by USACE in 1988. The
purpose of this GRR/EIS is reanalysis of
the federal interest in developing flood
risk management measures on the
NBEC. The analysis will include
reformulation of the authorized plan
from the 1988 study for applicability.
The GRR/EIS will incorporate a review
of developments in the floodplain
during the last 22 years, consideration
of changing needs of the local
communities, and current
environmental conditions. When
complete, the GRR/EIS will recommend
if flood mitigation measures should
occur with federal assistance. Federal
funding for the GRR/EIS phase
originates from American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds, which requires
the GRR/EIS to be developed on an
accelerated schedule.
Project Authority: The GRR/EIS is
being completed based on authorization
by Section 102 of the River and Harbor
Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89–789). The
original study Feasibility Report and
Environmental Impact Statement for
Flood Protection in the Ecorse Creek
Drainage Basin, Wayne County,
Michigan, 1987 (Revised 1988)
recommended the development of a
retention basin as the selected plan.
Construction of the selected plan from
the 1988 feasibility study was further
authorized by Section 101(a) (14) of the
Water Resources Development Act
(WRDA) of 1990. Construction never
occurred. Project authorization was
extended in Section 3179 of the WRDA
of 2007 to conduct the GRR.
Project Alternatives: A number of
flood risk management alternatives will
be evaluated as part of the GRR/EIS
including retention basins, stream
widening and restoration, flood walls
and levees, along with non-structural
measures such as management plans,
warning systems and property
acquisition.
Draft EIS Scoping Process: The
scoping process for public input will
involve Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with affected Indian
tribes, other interested parties and
entities. Coordination with natural
resources and environmental agencies
will be conducted under the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, Endangered
Species Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air
Act, and the National Historic
Preservation Act. A public meeting will
be held (see DATES) to include
discussion of environmental issues

associated with potential flood risk
management alternatives.
Issues to be considered during the
development of the Draft EIS and public
review and input process include:
aesthetics, dredged material disposal,
water quality, air and noise quality,
hazardous, toxic and radiological waste,
threatened and endangered species,
environmental justice, wetlands,
historic properties, recreation,
cumulative impacts, natural resource
mitigation and other issues that may
affect public health and welfare. It is
estimated the Draft EIS will be available
for public review and comment in late
2011.
