study was originally scoped as an EIS.
A notice of intent to prepare an EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
November 4, 2022 (87 FR 66681). The
scoping comment period ended on
December 5, 2022. During scoping, a
project website was prepared, press
releases and notifications were sent to
affected agencies and interested parties,
and one virtual public meeting and
three in-person public meetings were
conducted in Henning, Tennessee,
Millington, Tennessee, and Marion,
Arkansas, respectively. No adverse
comments were received, and all
comments were generally supportive of
the proposed activities. Additionally,
the plan formulation process resulted in
a reduced number of measures in the
current array of alternatives being
considered since the initiation of the
study.
The USACE will notify the public in
advance of the availability of the draft
and final IFR-EAs through press
releases, special public notices, and
USACE-Memphis District social media
platforms. All public review and project
related information will continue to be
made available at: https://www.mvm.
