DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent [To Prepare a Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement] for a 

Proposed Introduction of the Oyster 

Species, Crassostrea Ariakensis, Into 

the Tidal Waters of Maryland and 

Virginia To Establish a Naturalized, 

Reproducing, and Self-Sustaining 

Population of This Oyster Species

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) is the lead Federal 

agency. The Virginia Marine Resources 

Commission (VMRC) on behalf of the 

Commonwealth of Virginia and the 

Maryland Department of Natural 

Resources (MDNR) on behalf of the State 

of Maryland are the lead state agencies 

(States). The lead agencies, in 

cooperation with the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), the National Oceanographic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS), announce their intent to prepare 

a programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to evaluate alternative 

approaches to increasing oyster 

populations into the tidal waters of 

Maryland and Virginia (Chesapeake and 

coastal bays) to provide the following 

benefits. The benefits of a rehabilitated 

oyster resource include the potential for 

improved water quality, creation of 

aquatic habitat, and the re-establishment 

of an economically viable oyster 

industry preserving the region’s culture 

associated with working waterman. 

The proposed action to be evaluated 

in the EIS will be a proposal by the 

states to introduce the Asian oyster 

species, Crassostrea ariakensis, 

propagated from existing 3rd or later 

generation of the Oregon stock of this 

species, into the tidal waters of 

Maryland and Virginia to increase 

oyster populations. The States and the 

Corps will continue native oyster (C. 

virginica) restoration efforts throughout 

the Chesapeake Bay.

DATES: MEETINGS: Public scoping 

meetings will be held January 26, 2004, 

7 p.m. at MD DNR, Tawes Building, 

Annapolis, MD 21401 and January 28, 

2004 at 6 p.m. at the VMRC, 2600 

Washington Avenue, Newport News, 

VA. 

COMMENTS: Submit comments by 

February 20, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

scope of the programmatic EIS or 

request for information should be sent 

to Mr. Peter Kube at the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Branch, 

803 Front Street, Norfolk, VA 23510 or 

sent via e-mail at 

peter.r.kube@usace.army.mil.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about the proposed action 

and Draft EIS can be answered by Mr. 

Peter Kube at the Corps, (757) 441–7504, 

Mr. Thomas O’Connell, Fisheries 

Service, MDNR, 410–260–8261, or Mr. 

Jack Travelstead, VMRC, (757) 247–

2247.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action 

The State of Maryland and 

Commonwealth of Virginia propose to 

introduce the oyster species, Crassostrea 

ariakensis, into the tidal waters of 

Maryland and Virginia, beginning in 

2005 or as soon as a rigorous, 

scientifically based EIS can be 

undertaken and a Record of Decision 

prepared, for the purpose of establishing 

a naturalized, reproducing, and selfsustaining population of this oyster 

species. Diploid C. ariakensis would be 

propagated from existing 3rd or later 

generation of the Oregon stock of this 

species, in accordance with the
