Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The St. Paul District of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (St. Paul
District) will prepare a Supplement to
the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement and Feasibility Study (EIS/
FS) for a Proposed Fargo-Moorhead
Flood Risk Management Project on the
Red River of the North in Fargo, ND,
and Moorhead, MN (Proposed FargoMoorhead Project). On May 5, 2009, the
St. Paul District published a notice of
intent to prepare a Draft EIS/FS for a
Proposed Fargo-Moorhead Project. On
June 11, 2010, the St. Paul District
published a notice of availability of the
Draft EIS/FS. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers has now decided to prepare a
Supplemental Draft EIS/FS to further
evaluate impacts of a Proposed FargoMoorhead Project and potential
measures to mitigate for those impacts.
The Supplemental Draft EIS/FS should
be available for public review and
comment in the spring of 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action
and Supplemental Draft EIS/FS may be
directed to: Mr. Terry J. Birkenstock,
Chief, Environmental and GIS Branch,
180 Fifth Street East, Suite 700, St. Paul,
MN 55101–1678, telephone: (651) 290–
5264.
DATES: As described below, additional
scoping will not be conducted; however,
the St. Paul District will consider
comments related to the scope of the
Supplemental Draft EIS/FS that are
received before January 26, 2011.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fargo,
North Dakota, and Moorhead,
Minnesota, are on the west and east
banks, respectively, of the Red River of

Lower Rush Rivers in North Dakota and
the Buffalo River in Minnesota also
cross the study area.
Subsequent to the publication of the
notice of availability of the Draft EIS/FS
in June 2010, hydraulic modeling
indicated downstream impacts from the
Proposed Fargo-Moorhead Project that
were greater than those anticipated and
presented in the Draft EIS/FS. In
addition, public and agency comments
on the Draft EIS/FS raised additional
issues. The purpose of the
Supplemental Draft EIS/FS is to develop
and evaluate additional information
related to downstream impacts and
other issues raised and to evaluate
potential alternatives for the Project.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
will continue to act as the lead agency
for the Supplemental Draft EIS/FS and
the cities of Fargo and Moorhead will
act as cooperating partners.
Additional scoping meetings will not
be held for the Supplemental Draft EIS/
FS. A significant volume of comments
were received during the public
comment period on the Draft EIS/FS
regarding potential downstream impacts
and proposed alternatives that might
serve to mitigate these impacts. These
comments, as well as the extensive
scoping and partnering accomplished in
the course of preparation of the Draft
EIS/FS, provide information to
determine the appropriate scope for the
Supplemental Draft EIS/FS. Further, the
St. Paul District will consider comments
related to the scope of the Supplemental
Draft EIS/FS that are received before
January 26, 2011.
