SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 24, 2011, notice was published 

in the Federal Register (76 FR 4091) 

that Dr. Burns had requested a permit to 

collect/receive, import, and export 

marine mammal parts for scientific 

research studies. The requested permit 

has been issued under the authority of 

the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 

1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.), the regulations governing the 

taking and importing of marine 

mammals (50 CFR part 216), the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR parts 

222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of 1966, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.). 

Permit No. 15510 authorizes Dr. 

Burns to conduct physiology studies on 

development, thermoregulation, muscle 

performance, oxygen stores, and 

hormonal and other regulatory 

processes using marine mammal parts. 

Annually, Dr. Burns can obtain samples 

from up to 50 animals of each of the 

following species: Harp seal, Pagophilus 

groenlandica; hooded seal, Cystophora 

cristata; gray seal, Halichoerus grypus; 

bearded seal, Erignathus barbatus; 

ringed seal, Phoca hispida; harbor seal, 

Phoca vitulina; spotted seal, Phoca 

largha; and ribbon seal, Histriophoca 

fasciata, and; to import samples 

annually from up to 6 captive Northern 

fur seals, Callorhinus ursinus; and 6 

captive Steller Sea lions, Eumetopias 

jubatus. Samples may be from 

subsistence-harvested animals in 

Alaska, and other scientific and/or 

subsistence collections including but 

not limited to the national waters of 

Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, 

and in international waters. Samples 

may be collected, received nationally, 

and imported and exported worldwide 

over a five-year period for laboratory 

analysis to support the research 

objectives. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

As required by the ESA, issuance of 

this permit was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) Was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Zoar Levee 

and Diversion Dam, Dam Safety 

Modification Study, Tuscarawas 

County, OH 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), 

Huntington District will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to disclose potential impacts to the 

natural, physical, and human 

environment resulting from 

implementation of alternatives 

formulated to address reliability risks 

associated with Zoar Levee and 

Diversion Dam. These high hazard 

structures do not meet current 

performance standards and exceed 

acceptable risk levels. A full array of 

alternatives will be formulated to meet 

the purpose and need of this study. 

After full consideration of all 

alternatives, the best plan will be 

selected to achieve acceptable risk 

levels. 

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be 

held on May 24, 2011 from 7–10 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: a. Address all written 

comments and suggestions concerning 

this proposed project to Aaron O. Smith, 

CELRH–PM–PD–R, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Huntington District, 502

Requests to be placed on the mailing list 

should also be sent to this address. 

b. The public scoping meeting 

location is: Tuscarawas Valley High 

School, 2637 Tuscarawas Valley Road,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Authority: Investigation and 

justification of modifications for dam 

safety modifications at completed Corps 

of Engineers projects is authorized 

under Section 2033 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 2007 

(Pub. L. 110–114). 

2. Background: a. Guidance for this 

study is provided in USACE Engineer 

Regulation 1110–2–1156 that addresses 

safety of dams. 

b. Zoar Levee and Diversion Dam is 

an appurtenant structure to Dover Dam 

which is located in Tuscarawas County 

along the Tuscarawas River 

approximately 3.5 miles north of the 

communities of Dover and New 

Philadelphia. The dam was constructed 

by the Corps and completed in 1938. 

Dover Dam is a dry dam and as such 

does not hold a permanent pool. The 

Federal government maintains a 

permanent flowage easement to 

elevation 916′ above mean sea level 

(msl) upstream of the dam, which 

corresponds to the height of the 

spillway of the dam. 

c. The Zoar Levee was constructed in 

1937 with a crest elevation of 919′ above 

msl, which provided three feet of 

freeboard over the Dover Dam spillway 

crest of elevation 916′ above msl. The 

crest elevation of Zoar Levee was raised 

from elevation 919′ above msl to 

elevation 928.5′ above msl in 1951. 

There are approximately 54 properties 

(approximately 98 buildings including 

dependencies) located inside the levee 

at or below the elevation 916′ above msl. 

Water reaches the levee only when 

Dover Dam is retaining sufficient flood 

waters. 

d. Zoar Diversion Dam was also 

constructed in 1937. It is located on 

Goose Run, approximately 1,000′ 

upstream of Zoar Levee and was built to 

control interior drainage within the 

levee. The Diversion Dam acts as a 

retention structure for runoff from the 

Goose Run watershed and redirects 

flows into a ponding area controlled by 

the Zoar Levee pump station.

components associated with the
