City of Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk
Management Feasibility Study, for
review and comment. The study
evaluates identified flood risks and
develops and evaluates coastal storm
risk management measures for the City
of Norfolk. These measures were
formulated to reduce flood risk to
residents, industries and businesses
which are critical to the Nation’s
economy in ways that support the longterm resilience due to sea level rise,
local subsidence and storms, within the
City of Norfolk. Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, the USACE
determined that the project has the
potential to have significant
environmental impacts, and developed
the Final EIS and Draft ROD to examine
and assess the impacts of all proposed
action.
DATES: The Final IFR/EIS and Draft ROD
are available for a 30-day review period,
pursuant to the NEPA. Written
comments pursuant will be accepted
until the close of public review on the
close of business on November 2, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Questions or comments
concerning the Final IFR/EIS and Draft
ROD may be directed to: Ms. Kathy
Perdue; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Norfolk District; 803 Front Street,
Norfolk, VA 23510 or NorfolkCSRM@

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Kathy Perdue, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Norfolk District, phone
number (757) 201–7218, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
document is available for review at the
Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk Management
Study website: https://
www.nao.usace.army.mil/NCSRM.
Proposed Action. The Study Area is
the City of Norfolk. The Proposed
Action will include construction of the
following measures within the City:
Storm surge barriers with gate openings
near the mouths of four waterways: The
Lafayette River, Pretty Lake, The Hague,
and Broad Creek; floodwalls flanking
the barriers and near waterways at
locations from Lamberts Point to Broad
Creek; berms; tide gates at various
points to prevent storm surge; generator
buildings and pumps; nonstructural
measures to protect existing structures;
and Natural and Nature-Based features.
Implementation of the Proposed Action
would impact floodplains, wetlands,
mudflats, federally listed threatened and
endangered species, and marine
mammals, and other resources. The
Proposed Action must be located in a
floodplain in order to reduce flood risk
behind the flood protection system. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Proposed Action will adhere to the 8step process as outlined under
Executive Order 11988, Floodplain
Management, including consideration of
sea level rise.
Alternatives. The Final IFR/EIS
considered a full range of nonstructural
and structural flood risk management
alternatives that meet the Proposed
Action’s purpose and need and
incorporate measures to avoid and
minimize impacts to the maximum
extent practicable. Alternatives
included: (1) The No Build/Future
Without Project Alternative, (2) a
Structural Only Project Alternative, (3)
a Nonstructural Only Project
Alternative, and (4) a dual Structural
and Nonstructural Project Alternative,
which is the Proposed Action.
Public Involvement. A Notice of Intent
to prepare an EIS was published on
April 29, 2016, in the Federal Register
(81 FR 25656). A public scoping
meeting was held on May 25, 2016, and
a follow-up public meeting was held on
June 8, 2017, both in the City of Norfolk.
A Notice of Availability of the Draft EIS
was published on November 3, 2017, in
the Federal Register (82 FR 51225), for
a 45-day public comment period. A
third public meeting was held on
November 16, 2017, in the City of
Norfolk. All comments received have
been considered and addressed. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
serves as a cooperating agency for this
project.
