After full consideration of all alternatives, the best plan was to be selected to achieve acceptable risk levels. Completion of Dam Safety Baseline Risk Assessment in November 2013 reduced urgency, complexity and controversy associated with risks allowing for early screening of nonstructural options driving potential for significant and controversial effects. Environmental Assessment (EA) level effort was determined sufficient for the Modification Study. Therefore, it is anticipated the EA will result in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), an EIS is not anticipated. Leon F. Parrott, Colonel, Corps of Engineers, District Engineer.

ACTION: Notice of intent; withdrawal.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Huntington District, 
is withdrawing its intent to prepare a Draft Supplemental Environmental 
Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Greenup Locks and Dam General 
Reevaluation Report. The Notice of Intent to prepare the SEIS was 
published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2012 (77 FR 35663).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Originally, the Huntington District planned 
to prepare a General Reevaluation Report (GRR) and Draft SEIS to 
disclose potential impacts to the natural, physical, and human 
environment resulting from the implementation of alternatives to reduce 
foreseeable traffic delays and associated economic losses that occur 
during periodic maintenance

at the Greenup Locks and Dam located on the Ohio River. A Feasibility 
Report and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was previously 
completed for the project in April 2000. This study recommended a 600-
foot (ft) extension of the existing auxiliary lock chamber to a length 
of 1200 ft. The project was authorized by Congress in 2000; however, no 
funds have been appropriated for project construction. Due to the 
amount of time that has elapsed since completion of the Feasibility 
Report, and the associated economic, environmental and reliability 
changes that may have occurred during this time, Federal interest must 
be reevaluated. The project alternatives which were planned to be 
considered included the plans considered in the previous study as well 
as variations to these plans which may include both structural and 
nonstructural operational measures, and the No Action alternative.
    As part of this GRR, a Planning Charette was held in February 2013 
with participation by the USACE Lakes and Rivers Division, 
Headquarters, and navigation stakeholders. Changes in the without 
project condition associated with revised reliability, updated traffic 
forecasts, funding constraints of the Inland Waterways Trust Fund, and 
higher priority inland navigation projects led the Charette team to 
recommend postponing this GRR. Therefore, an EIS is not anticipated at 
this time. Should the Corps start working on the GRR in the future, the 
scope and level of effort will be reevaluated.

Colonel, Corps of Engineers, District Engineer.
