Environmental Impact Statement for
Modernization and Repair of Piers 2
and 3, Military Ocean Terminal
Concord, CA
Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of the Army
announces its intent to conduct public
scoping under the National
Environmental Policy Act to gather
information to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
related to the critically-needed
modernization and repairs of Piers 2
and 3, Military Ocean Terminal Concord
(MOTCO) due to structural decay
caused by severe deterioration, widespread marine borer damage, and fungal
decay. Piers 2 and 3 are used to
transport military supplies in the Pacific
region. There may be significant impacts
to threatened and endangered species.
The following other resource areas may
be impacted: water quality, noise,
terrestrial and marine species, and
traffic. For example, the proposed action
will replace a large number of piles; this
work will likely result in water quality
issues and an increase in noise. The
Department of the Army will use the
analysis in the EIS to determine whether
and how to implement the proposed
action.
SUMMARY:
Written comments should
be forwarded to Mr. Malcolm Charles,
Directorate of Public Works, Attention:
SDAT–CCA–MI (Charles), 410 Norman
Ave, Concord, CA 94520; email:
usarmy.motco.sddc.mbx.listeis@mail.mil or fax (925) 246–4171.

Please contact Mr. Malcolm Charles,
Directorate of Public Works, 410
Norman Ave, Concord, CA 94520; fax
(925) 246–4171; email:
usarmy.motco.sddc.mbx.listeis@mail.mil.
ADDRESSES:
The
decision to be made by the Army is
whether and how to modernize and
repair Piers 2 and 3 at the MOTCO. The
EIS will assess the direct, indirect, and
cumulative environmental impacts
associated with various proposed
facility modernization and repair
options to meet safety, operational,
facilities management, land use, and
cultural resources management
objectives.
Piers 2 and 3 at MOTCO need to be
repaired and modernized in order to
maintain ammunition out load

capabilities at this ocean terminal. Pier
2 is the westernmost of three main
wharves and is currently inoperable due
to its poor condition. The pier requires
major rehabilitation and modernization
in order to restore its function and bring
it to current containerization standards.
The deterioration is due to a
combination of marine borer, fungal
decay, and overloading.
Pier 3 is currently the primary
operational wharf at MOTCO. While it
is in fair condition overall, it has
localized areas of severe deterioration,
wide-spread marine borer damage, and
fungal decay. Consequently, work at the
pier is subject to loading restrictions,
and recent engineering assessments
estimate that it has approximately five
years of practical service life remaining.
The proposed action consists of the
modernization and repair of the
critically-needed piers. A range of
reasonable alternatives, including a No
Action Alternative, will be developed
and analyzed in the EIS. Alternatives to
be considered include (1) Fully
implement repairs to Piers 2 and 3 with
Pier 2 re-oriented to align/rotate the
west end to meet a more modernized
configuration, (2) fully implement
repairs to Piers 2 and 3 leaving the Pier
2 footprint in its present location, and
(3) fully implement repairs to Piers 2
and 3, reorienting Pier 2 to meet a more
modernized configuration (same as in
Alternative 1) but with a larger deck
surface and heavier carrying capacity.
Other reasonable alternatives raised
during the scoping process and capable
of meeting the project purpose and need
and criteria will be considered for
evaluation in the EIS.
Scoping and public comments:
Federally recognized Tribes, federal,
state, and local agencies, organizations,
and the public are invited to be
involved in the scoping process for the
preparation of this EIS by participating
in scoping meetings and/or submitting
written comments. The scoping process
will help identify possible alternatives,
potential environmental impacts, and
key issues of concern to be analyzed in
the EIS. Written comments will be
accepted within 60 days of publication
of the NOI in the Federal Register.
Scoping meetings will be held in
Concord, CA. Notification of the times
and locations for the scoping meetings
will be locally published.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
