The U.S. Army Corps of

Regional Environmental Impact
Statement (REIS) to analyze the direct,

associated with a decision to develop
SUMMARY:

and assess data and information with
waters of the United States and other
relevant resources that may be
potentially impacted by future surface
coal and lignite mine expansions in the
state of Texas within the Fort Worth
District’s area of responsibility. These
coal and lignite mining activities may
eventually require authorization from
the USACE under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, as well
as other federal and state permits and
approvals.
Public scoping meetings for the
REIS will be held on:
1. Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 4
p.m.–7 p.m., Uvalde, Texas.
2. Wednesday, December 4, 2013, 4
p.m.–7 p.m., Temple, Texas.
3. Thursday, December 5, 2013, 4
p.m.–7 p.m., Tyler, Texas.
ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting
locations are:
1. Tuesday, December 3, 2013, at the
Uvalde County Fairplex-Event Center,
122 Veterans Lane, Uvalde, Texas
78801.
2. Wednesday, December 4, 2013, at
the Railroad and Heritage Museum, 315
W. Avenue B, Temple, Texas 76501.
3. Thursday, December 5, 2013, at the
Tyler Rose Garden Center, 420 South
Rose Park Drive, Tyler, Texas 75702.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions and comments regarding the
proposed action and REIS should be
addressed to Mr. Darvin Messer, Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Fort Worth District, P.O. Box 17300, 819
Taylor Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102;
or Darvin.Messer@usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USACE will be conducting public
scoping meetings at three locations (see
DATES and ADDRESSES) to describe the
Project, preliminary alternatives, the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) compliance process, and to
solicit input on the issues and
alternatives to be evaluated and other
related matters. Written comments for
scoping will be accepted until December
20, 2013. The USACE has prepared a
scoping announcement to familiarize
agencies, the public and interested
organizations with the proposed Action
and potential environmental issues that
may be involved. The scoping
announcement describes the target
resources to be assessed, the proposed
areas of assessment, and the mines that
may utilize the information developed
through this effort. Copies of the
scoping announcement will be available
at the public scoping meetings or can be
requested by mail.

Surface coal and lignite mining
projects in the USACE Fort Worth’s area
of responsibility typically conduct work
that results in impacts to waters of the
U.S. Such work requires authorization
under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act, and for projects affecting navigable
waters, authorization under Section 10
of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.
These programs are administered by the
USACE. The anticipated number of
future permit applications requiring the
USACE compliance with NEPA, along
with agency resource constraints, could
result in lengthy review times. Historic
permit evaluations associated with mine
expansions have required substantial
time periods. These timeframes have
been influenced in part by the need to
develop resource information,
undertake data gathering efforts, as well
as coordination with various agencies
and their permit review processes. The
USACE also needs to ensure it can adapt
and efficiently respond to multiple
concurrent requests for permits that may
occur in the future.
The USACE is undertaking a REIS to
streamline the NEPA aspect of the
Section 404/10 permitting process, as
well as to develop information, data,
and analyses to be used in 404(b)(1)
guidelines and public interest review
analyses for future coal and lignite mine
expansions in Texas subject to
permitting by the USACE.
The REIS is intended to provide an
environmental evaluation focusing on
the potential direct, indirect, and
cumulative aquatic resource impacts, in
addition to other relevant
environmental and human resources,
that could be affected by future surface
coal and lignite mining within defined
geographic regions in Texas. The REIS
would facilitate future tiering or
supplementation of the NEPA analysis
in the REIS in the evaluation of future
project-specific Section 404/10 permit
applications. It also is intended to
provide a cohesive framework for
stream mitigation, establishment of
sound performance metrics, and
enhance project monitoring efforts
associated with these types of activities.
The REIS is intended to avoid
duplication and provide efficiency and
effectiveness with future decisions.
The REIS will be prepared according
to the USACE’s procedures for
implementing the NEPA, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c), and consistent
with the USACE’s policy to facilitate
public understanding and review of
agency proposals. As part of the REIS
process, a full range of reasonable
alternatives, including the proposed
Action and no action, will be evaluated.
