alternatives to restore and enhance
ecosystem resources in a holistic,
collaborative manner, and to ensure full
participation of all stakeholders.
Significant environmental resources to
be addressed during project studies and
in the DEIS include, but are not limited
to: (1) Endangered and threatened
species; (2) Marine and estuarine
resources; (3) Fish and wildlife and
their habitats, including essential fish
habitat; (4) Water quality; (5)
Socioeconomic resources; and (6)
Cultural resources. Efforts will be made
to enhance resource conditions and
minimize adverse impacts.
The lead Federal agency for this study
is the USACE, Wilmington District. As
stated above, the NCDWR is the lead
State agency and a full cost-sharing
partner in the conduct of this study. The
DEIS is being prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, and will address the
relationship of the proposed action to
all other applicable Federal and State
Laws and Executive Orders. The DEIS is
currently scheduled for distribution to
the public February 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action
and DEIS can be answered by Mr. Doug
Piatkowski, Environmental Resources
Section; U.S. Army Engineer District,
Wilmington; 69 Darlington Avenue,
Wilmington, North Carolina 28403;

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
1. Authority. The feasibility study is
being carried out under the Corps of
Engineers’ General Investigation
Program and is being conducted in
response to the following House
resolution adopted March 11, 1998:
Resolved by the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the
United States House of Representatives, that
the Secretary of the Army is requested to
review the report of the Division Engineer
dated June 25, 1991, on Eastern North
Carolina above Cape Lookout, North
Carolina, and other pertinent reports, to
determine whether modifications to the
recommendations contained therein are
advisable at the present time in the interest
of water quality, environmental restoration
and protection, and related purposes in
Currituck Sound.
2. Project Purpose. The project
purpose is to maintain, restore, and
enhance vital aquatic habitats of the
Currituck Sound to ensure the survival
of wildlife and fisheries. These habitats
include: the estuarine water column,
wetlands including coastal marsh and
shrub buffers, submerged aquatic
vegetation, and bird nesting islands.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 29, 2011 / Notices
3. Alternatives. This study will
investigate the following alternatives:
No action alternative, creation,
enhancement, or protection of marsh
islands and/or back barrier marsh
including creation and/or restoration of
bird nesting habitat; construction of
vegetative buffers along riparian
drainages; removal and/or control of
exotic and invasive species; and
protection and establishment of SAV
habitats. The final outcome of this study
would be a feasibility report and an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS),
which would recommend projects for
construction authorization.
4. Public Involvement. Public
participation in the EIS process will be
strongly encouraged both formally and
informally, to support the formulation
of a more technically feasible and
socially and politically acceptable
ecosystem restoration project. Public
involvement activities for this study
will include but are not limited to:
periodic dissemination of information
and study findings via meetings and the
Wilmington District web site;
identification of restoration problems,
needs, and opportunities; evaluation of
potential restoration measures and
subsequent development of alternatives;
issuance of public and scoping notices
and meetings; public and stakeholder
workshops; and posting of the
completed EIS on the Internet as well as
in hard copy at readily accessible public
locations.
5. Scoping. All private parties and
Federal, State, and local agencies having
an interest in the study are hereby
notified of the initiation of the Currituck
Sound EIS and are invited to comment
at this time. An initial scoping letter
dated 13 April 2001 was circulated
during the early planning phase of this
study. This Notice of Intent (NOI)
constitutes an updated scoping request.
A formal scoping meeting is not
planned at this time but may be held if
it is determined that new information
could be obtained that would not
otherwise be available. All comments
received as a result of this NOI and the
previous scoping letter will be
considered in the preparation of the EIS.
In accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality’s (CEQ’s) NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1506.1), Federal
agencies with jurisdiction by law or
with special expertise shall be invited to
be Cooperating Agencies. Through an
email dated 12 July 2010, Agency
representatives were invited to
participate in this study as a
Cooperating Agency. To date, no formal
Cooperating Agency status has been
established with any Agencies.

6. Coordination. The USACE will
consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service under the Endangered Species
Act and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act; with the National
Marine Fisheries Service under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the Endangered Species Act; and with
the North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office under the National
Historic Preservation Act. Additionally,
the USACE will coordinate the DEIS
with the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality to assess the potential
water quality impacts pursuant to
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, and
with the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management to determine the
project’s consistency with the Coastal
Zone Management Act. Other Agencies
will be consulted with as required.
7. Availability of the Environmental
Impact Statement. The earliest the DEIS
will be available for public review
would be February 2012. The DEIS or a
Notice of Availability will be distributed
to affected Federal, State, and local
agencies, Indian tribes, and other
interested parties.
