1168 and 1225 of WRDA 2018 may be

The USAF Disposition Study will
analyze three types of alternatives at the
USAF site: (1) The no action; (2)
complete de-authorization by Congress
of the Federal missions at the site and
disposal of the properties; and (3)
partial de-authorization and disposal. In
addition, the study will examine
opportunities to augment these three
alternatives by considering measures
which: (1) Preserve recreational
opportunities; (2) enhance recreational
opportunities; (3) preserve the health of
the ecosystem; (4) enhance the health of
the ecosystem; (5) maintain the benefits
to the natural ecosystem; and (6)
maintain the benefits to the human
environment. The partial disposition
alternative will maintain the flood
control capability of the structure. If the
Corps determines that Federal interest
no longer exists, it must consider, and
may recommend, removal of the project
or separable elements of the project
under existing authorities.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), an Environmental Assessment
(EA) for this study is anticipated and
will be prepared by the St. Paul District.
The Corps is soliciting public comments
on the scope of the EA and significant
issues that should be addressed. The
Corps will also accept comments related
to potential new ownership and
management measures.
The Disposition Study ends when the
final report is transmitted to the Corps
of Engineers’ Headquarters Office for
review and processing of
recommendations. Complete and partial
de-authorization would require
Congressional Approval.
Two public scoping meetings are
planned as discussed in the DATES
section above. The purpose of these
meetings is to discuss background of the
study, identify the properties and
structures that are the subject of the
study, discuss the Federal disposal
process, instruct parties on how to
document their interest in future
ownership, provide an opportunity to
submit comments, and identify issues
that should be addressed in the
anticipated EA. While comments and
questions will be entertained at the
public meetings, the meetings will not
be recorded nor minutes prepared. All
formal comments will be requested to be
provided in writing. Written comments

will be accepted at the meetings.
Comments can also be submitted by the
methods listed in the ADDRESSES
section. Once the draft EA is complete
and made available for review, there
will be additional opportunity for
public comment through the NEPA
process.
Persons needing reasonable
accommodations in order to attend and
participate in the public scoping
meetings should contact the person
listed under the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section as soon as
possible. In order to allow sufficient
time to process requests, please make
contact no later than one week before
the public meeting.
Written comments, including email
comments, should be sent to the Corps
at the address given in the ADDRESSES
section of this Notice. Comments should
be specific and pertain only to the
issues relating to the action and the
anticipated EA. The Corps will include
all comments in the project record.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information- will
be publicly available. While you can ask
us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from
public review, the Corps cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
All submissions from organizations or
businesses and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses will be
available for public review to the extent
consistent with applicable law.

associated wind, storm surge, and
coastal flooding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Applicable laws and regulations are
section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4370,
as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508). The study
authority is Section 4033 of the Water
Resources Development Act of 2007
(Pub. L. 110–114), whereby the
Secretary shall conduct a study to
determine the feasibility of carrying out
a project for hurricane and storm
damage reduction and flood damage
reduction in the vicinity of Vanderbilt,
Park Shore, and Naples beaches, Collier
County Florida. The primary problem is
that existing protection is not adequate
to prevent excessive storm damage and
flooding from occurring during major
coastal storms. Coastal flooding is
worsening due to climate change
induced sea level rise, which is also
amplifying storm surge height. These
trends are expected to continue and
worsen due to sea level rise accelerating
over time, a trend already observed in
recent decades. Measures being
considered include beach berms and
dunes, floodwalls with gates, storm
surge barriers, groins, seawalls, buyouts/
elevations of buildings, wet and/or dry
flood-proofing of buildings, and naturebased features potentially including
mangrove restoration, oyster and/or
coral reef restoration, and seagrass
restoration.
USACE is the lead federal agency and
Collier County will be the non-federal
sponsor for the study. The Study/EIS
will address the primary problem of the
increasing storm damage and flooding
occurring and expected to increase in
the area by studying all reasonable
alternatives and determine the Federal

interest in cost-sharing for those
alternatives.
As required by Council on
Environmental Quality’s Principles,
Requirements and Guidelines for Water
and Land Related Resources
Implementation Studies all reasonable
alternatives to the proposed Federal
action that meet the purpose and need
will be considered in the EIS. These
alternatives will include no action and
a range of reasonable alternatives for
protecting the shoreline and structures
in Collier County, Florida.

Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508). The study
authority is Public Law 84–71, which
authorized the examination and survey
of the coastal and tidal areas of the
eastern and southern United States,
with particular reference to areas where
severe damages have occurred from
hurricane winds and tides. The primary
problem is that existing protection is not
adequate to prevent excessive storm
damage and flooding from occurring
during major coastal storms. Coastal
flooding is worsening due to climate
change induced sea level rise, which is
also amplifying storm surge height.
These trends are expected to continue
and worsen due to sea level rise
accelerating over time, a trend already
observed in recent decades. Measures
being considered include ringwalls,
floodwalls, storm surge barriers,
buyouts/elevations of buildings, wet
and/or dry flood-proofing of buildings,
relocating structures and utilities, and
nature-based features potentially
including mangrove restoration, oyster
and/or coral reef restoration, and
seagrass restoration.
USACE is the lead federal agency and
Miami-Dade County will be the nonfederal sponsor for the study. The
Study/EIS will address the primary
problem of the increasing storm damage
and flooding occurring and expected to

reasonable alternatives and determine

those alternatives.
