Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of intent to prepare an
EIS; and request for comments.
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA) and the regulations
implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ), and the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA), the Coast Guard announces its
intent to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the
potential environmental consequences
of replacing the existing BNSF bridge
across the Missouri River at Bismarck,
ND, or constructing a bridge adjacent to
the existing bridge. CEQ regulations
require an early and open process for
determining the scope of issues that the
Coast Guard needs to address in an EIS
(‘‘scoping’’). Scoping determines which
issues to analyze in depth in the EIS and
eliminates from detailed study the
issues that are not significant or were
covered in prior environmental reviews.
This document invites the participation
of affected federal, state, and local
agencies, any affected Indian tribes and
other interested persons in determining
the appropriate issues for EIS analysis
for this project.
DATES: Comments must be submitted to
the online docket via https://
www.regulations.gov/, on or before
February 24, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2019–0882 using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov/. See the ‘‘Public
Participation and Request for
Comments’’ portion of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
further instructions on submitting
comments.

McCaskey, Coast Guard District Eight

SUMMARY:
Pursuant to section 10(d) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended, notice is hereby given of the
following meeting.
The meeting will be closed to the
public in accordance with the
provisions set forth in sections
552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), Title 5 U.S.C.,

the discussions could disclose
confidential trade secrets or commercial
property such as patentable material,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background and Purpose
BNSF Railway Company owns and
operates the existing bridge that crosses
the Missouri River between the cities of
Mandan, and Bismarck, North Dakota.
With components over 130 years old,
the in-place structure is approaching the
end of its useful service life. The
structure has a history of exposure to ice
jams and its substructure configuration
renders it potentially susceptible to
scour events. Although currently stable,
the structure has experienced structural
issues at both approaches in the past,
resulting in unanticipated substructure
movements. Since constructing the
original bridge in 1882, the east hill
slope began to move and resulted in the
slope moving the pier west towards the
river inches per year. Multiple
remediation efforts to correct the pier
damage/location and slope movement
took place from the early 1800s to the
mid 1950s. The intent of the project is
to construct a new, independent bridge
across the Missouri River upstream of
the in-place structure. Operationally,
the new structure will carry the
mainline track and the current structure
will be taken down. The new structure
will provide a significant improvement
in operational reliability and safety, and
will provide enhanced structural
redundancy thereby making it less
susceptible to damage. As the current
structure is 130 years old, it requires
substantial inspection and maintenance,
which are disruptive to rail service. The
new structure will be a single-track
bridge but have the capability to carry
a second track in the future when and
if volumes necessitate that addition.
The BNSF Bismarck Bridge was
constructed with similar methods in the
same era as the Brooklyn Bridge. It is an
iconic landmark that predates official
North Dakota statehood by six years.
The bridge is eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places for
its association with broad patterns of
railroad, commercial and military
history of the United States. Because of
these attributes, certain interest groups
have expressed a desire to preserve the
existing bridge.
The federal bridge statutes, including
the River and Harbors Act of 1899, as
amended, the Act of March 23, 1906, as
amended, and the General Bridge Act of
1946 (33 U.S.C. 525 et seq.), require that
the location and plans of bridges in or
over navigable waters of the United
States be approved by the Secretary of
Homeland Security, who has delegated
that responsibility to the Coast Guard.
The Missouri River is a navigable water
of the United States as defined in 33
