DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army, Corps of
Engineers
Intent To Prepare a Draft Integrated
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the New Jersey Back Bays (NJBB)
Coastal Storm Risk Management
(CSRM) Feasibility Study
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The action being taken by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
is an evaluation of CSRM problems, and
an evaluation of alternative structural,
non-structural, and natural and naturebased feature (NNBF) measures to
address the CSRM problems in the
coastal communities of the New Jersey
Back Bays and Coastal Lakes in
Monmouth, Ocean, Burlington, Atlantic,
and Cape May Counties, New Jersey.
The purpose of any consequent work
would be to implement any one or a
number of recommended plans and/or
strategies that address CSRM problems
evaluated in the feasibility study and
integrated environmental impact
statement.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Philadelphia District,
CENAP–PL–E, 100 Penn Square East,
Wanamaker Building, Philadelphia, PA
19107–3390.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions, comments, and suggestions
regarding the Draft Integrated EIS
should be addressed to Mr. Steven D.
Allen at the above address; Phone: (215)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
1. Proposed Action
a. The NJBB CSRM Feasibility Study
area is one of 9 focus areas with
vulnerable coastal populations
identified in the North Atlantic Coast
Comprehensive Study (NACCS). The
NACCS was conducted in response to
Public Law 113–2 and the Water
Resource and Reform Development Act
(WRRDA) of 2014 following the
devastation in the wake of Hurricane
Sandy, which greatly affected the study
area in October of 2012. The purpose of
the NJBB CSRM Feasibility Study is to
identify comprehensive CSRM strategies
to increase coastal resilience, and to
reduce flooding risk from future storms
and impacts of sea level change. The
objective of the Study is to investigate
CSRM problems and solutions to reduce
damages from coastal flooding that
affect population, critical infrastructure,

critical facilities, property, and
ecosystems.
b. The authority for the proposed
project is the resolution adopted by the
U.S. House of Representatives
Committee on Public Works and
Transportation and the U.S. Senate
Committee on Environment and Public
Works dated December 1987.
2. Alternatives
In addition to the no action
alternative, the alternatives considered
for CSRM will fall into structural, nonstructural, and NNBF categories. The
structural measures being evaluated for
CSRM include measures that would
provide barrier protection and/or
protection to the bays perimeters, which
include: inlet storm surge barriers,
interior flood gates, road/rail elevation,
levees, floodwalls, bulkheads, seawalls,
revetments, beach restoration,
breakwaters, storm system drainage
improvements or combinations thereof.
Non-structural elements under
consideration include building retrofit
(elevation and flood proofing), managed
coastal retreat, emergency evacuation
plans, early warning systems, public
education education/risk
communication, working with other
Federal, state and local government
agencies to incorporate National Flood
Insurance Program improvements into
the study recommendations, and
combinations thereof. NNBF
considerations include wetland
restoration, living shorelines, green
stormwater management, reefs, and
submerged aquatic vegetation. NNBF
features may be combined with other
proposed CSRM elements.
3. Scoping
a. Scoping is conducted in accordance
with Section 1501.7 of the National
Environmental Policy Act, and is
defined as an early and open process for
determining the scope of issues to be
addressed and for identifying the
significant issues related to a proposed
action. For the NJBB CSRM Feasibility
Study, the scoping process is on-going
and has involved preliminary
coordination with 2 stakeholder
meetings in June 2016, and the
distribution of scoping letters to
Federal, state, and local agencies, tribes
and other non-government
organizations. The general public and
other interested parties and
organizations were invited to participate
by means of a public notice and a public
workshop meeting held on December 1,
2016. Additional scoping meetings may
be announced at major study milestone
decision points. Agency and public
input are being solicited throughout the
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
study, and will help inform the
identification of a Tentatively Selected
Plan (TSP). The TSP milestone is
expected to be reached in December
2018.
b. Significant issues and concerns that
have been identified in addition to the
premise of the CSRM study (flood risks
associated with storms and sea level
rise) include, but are not limited to the
potential for impacts on aquatic biota,
fisheries, intertidal habitat, shallow
water habitat, endangered species, water
quality, hydrodynamics, flood plain
management, air quality, cultural
resources, sustainability, and socioeconomics.
c. The USACE is the lead Federal
agency, and the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection is the nonFederal sponsor. The USACE will be
inviting key resource agencies with
jurisdiction by law as a cooperating
and/or participating agency in
accordance with Section 1501.6 of Title
40 Code of Federal Regulations and
Section 1005 of the Water Resources
Reform and Development Act of 2014.
Federal agencies interested in
participating as a Cooperating Agency
are requested to submit a letter of intent
to Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Dahle,
District Engineer, at U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Philadelphia District, 100
Penn Square East, Wanamaker Building,
Philadelphia, PA 19107–3390.
4. Availability
It is estimated that the Draft Integrated
EIS and Feasibility Study will be made
available to the public in January 2019.

Abstract: The DC School Choice
Incentive Program, authorized by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2004, awarded a grant to the DC
Children and Youth Investment Trust
Corporation that will administer
scholarships to students who reside in
the District of Columbia and come from
households whose incomes do not
exceed 185% of the poverty line.
Priority is given to students who are
currently attending schools in need of
improvement, as defined by Title I. To
assist in the student selection and
assignment process, the information
collected is used to determine the
eligibility of those students who are
interested in the available scholarships.
Also, since the authorizing statute
requires an evaluation we are proposing
to collect certain family demographic
information because they are important
predictors of school success. Finally, we
are asking to collect information about
parental participation and satisfaction
because these are key topics that the
statute requires the evaluation to
address.
