Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2004 / Notices 63147

subsistence resources for native 

Alaskans. EPA continues to have 

concerns about the adverse impacts to 

streams and wetlands, as well as 

cumulative impacts from roads and 

access to the roadless area. 

ERP No. F–AFS–L65452–ID South 

Fork Wildfire Salvage Project, 

Harvesting Fire-Killed and Imminently 

Dead Trees, Cascade Ranger District, 

Boise National Forest, Valley County, 

ID. 

Summary: No comment letter was 

sent to the preparing agency. 

ERP No. F–BLM–L65446–AK Alpine 

Satellite Development Plan, 

Construction and Operation of Five Oil 

Production Pads, Associated Well, 

Roads, Airstrips, Pipelines and 

Powerlines, Authorization and Permits 

Issuance, Northeast corner of the 

National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, 

Colville River Delta, North Slope 

Borough, AK. 

Summary: EPA has environmental 

concerns about the Preferred Alternative 

(Alternative F). The Final EIS does not 

provide sufficient information, data, 

analyses, or discussion to ensure that all 

developmental components of the 

Preferred Alternative will meet the 

substantive environmental requirements 

of Clean Water Act Section 404. In 

addition, EPA has concerns about 

impacts from current road alignment 

design, disturbance from access to 

production pads, the potential for 

violation of Special Condition 10 of the 

Corps Permit, erosion from pad 

sidesloped, lack of specific mitigation 

measures, and insufficient 9 information 

regarding air quality impacts. 

ERP No. F–COE–L32011–AK Akutan 

Harbor Navigation Improvements 

Project, Construction and 

Implementation, Bering Sea, City of 

Akutan, AK. 

Summary: EPA agreed with U.S. 

Army Corps’ conclusion that the project 

would not violate Alaska’s water quality 

standards or exceed the Akutan Harbor 

TMDL load allocations. However, EPA 

reiterated objections to the direct and 

indirect effects on wetlands, and 

requested that the Corps explore offsite 

beneficial use options to the stockpiling 

of dredged material in wetlands. EPA 

also recommended that the Corps 

explore compensatory mitigation 

through wetland enhancements during 

detailed project design. 

ERP No. F–NOA–E39066–FL

Programmatic EIS—Seagrass Restoration 

in the Florida Keys National Marine 

Sanctuary, Implementation, U.S. Army 

COE Section 404 and CZMA Permits, 

Monroe County, FL. 

Summary: EPA continues to fully 

support the proposed restoration goals 

for Seagrass damaged in FKNMS waters, 

but requests that some issues be 

clarified in the NOAA ROD.
