DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army; Corps of

Notice of Intent; Intent To Prepare a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) for the Riverport Development
and Proposed New Interchange on I–95
in Jasper County, South Carolina
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Department of the Army, DOD.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Charleston District (as the
lead agency) and the Federal Highway
Administration and Fish and Wildlife
Service (as cooperating agencies) intend
to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) to assess the likely
social, economic and environmental
effects of the proposed construction of
a mixed use industrial, commercial and
residential development with the
potential to impact Waters of the United
States near Hardeeville in Jasper
County, South Carolina. Associated
with this development will be the
possible construction of a new
interchange on I–95, in the vicinity of
the mile marker 3 in South Carolina.
The DEIS will assess potential effects of
a range of alternatives.
DATES: Public Scoping Meeting: One
public scoping meeting is planned for
Tuesday, August 19th at the Hardeeville
City Hall, 205 East Main Street,
Hardeeville, SC 29927. An informal
open-house information session will be
held between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in
the City Council Chambers, followed by
a formal scoping meeting beginning at
7:00 p.m. and continuing until all
comments have been heard in the
Community Room. The formal meeting
will include an overview of the project
as well as an opportunity for members
of the public to provide comments.
Individuals and organizations that are
interested in the proposed activity or
whose interests may be affected by the
proposed work are encouraged to attend
the Scoping Meeting and to submit
written comments to the Corps.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information and/or questions
about the proposed project and DEIS,
please contact Mr. Shawn Boone,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps
is evaluating a proposal from Stratford
Land, the City of Hardeeville and Jasper
County for a new development,
Riverport, and a new interchange on I–
95 (Exit 3) in accordance with Corps
regulations and the policies and
procedures that are established in the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Based on the available
information, the Corps has determined
that the Riverport development and the
proposed new interchange on I–95 have
the potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment and
therefore warrant the preparation of an
EIS. Additional information about the
proposed project and the NEPA process
is available on the project Web site at:
www.RiverPort-Exit3EIS.com.
1. Description of Proposed Project.
The project proposed by Stratford Land
is to develop the approximately 5,000
acre tract in Hardeeville, SC as the
Riverport mixed-use residential,
commercial and business park/light
industrial site. Riverport will consist of
a 1,755-acre business park, 840-acre
commercial village, and 2,390-acre
mixed use (residential and commercial)
village. The Business Park is to be one
of the largest logistics and industrial
sites in the Southeast. It is intended to
handle some of the container traffic into
the Savannah port resulting from the
introduction of the post-Panamax Canal
ships. As a result of vehicular traffic
projected from this industrial park, the
City of Hardeeville and Jasper County
propose a new interchange at I–95 that
connects with the proposed Riverport
Parkway to accommodate the increased
traffic projected to occur. The Business
Park and commercial development will
provide a significant economic impact
to the area by providing thousands of
construction jobs during the building
phases and over 24,000 permanent jobs
by year 30 of the development.
2. Alternatives. A range of alternatives
to the proposed action will be
identified, and those found to be
reasonable alternatives will be fully
evaluated in the DEIS, including: the
no-action alternative, the applicant’s
proposed alternative, alternative site
locations, alternatives that may result in
avoidance and minimization of impacts,
and mitigation measures not in the

proposed action. However, this list is
not exclusive and additional
alternatives may be considered for
inclusion.
3. Scoping and Public Involvement
Process. A scoping meeting will be
conducted to gather information on the
scope of the project and alternatives to
be addressed in the DEIS. Additional
public and agency involvement will be
sought through the implementation of a
public involvement plan and through an
agency coordination team.
4. Significant Issues. Issues associated
with the proposed project to be given
detailed analysis in the DEIS are likely
to include, but are not necessarily
limited to, the potential impacts of the
proposed development on surface and
groundwater quality, aquatic habitat and
biota, wetlands and stream habitats,
federal and state listed species of
concern, indirect and cumulative
impacts, the Savannah River Wildlife
Refuge, threatened and endangered
species, environmental justice,
mitigation, emergency response and
contingency plans, noise, conservation,
economics, cultural resources,
aesthetics, general environmental
concerns, historic properties, fish and
wildlife values, flood hazards, land use,
recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, the transportation
network, and in general, the needs and
welfare of the people.
5. Additional Review and
Consultation. Additional review and
consultation which will be incorporated
into the preparation of this DEIS will
include, but will not necessarily be
limited to, Section 401 of Clean Water
Act; Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)
consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act; the
National Environmental Policy Act; the
Endangered Species Act; and the
National Historic Preservation Act.
6. Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement. The
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) is anticipated to be available late
in 2015. A Public Hearing will be
conducted following the release of the
DEIS.
