The Missouri River Recovery 

Management Plan with integrated EIS 

will be narrower than the scope and 

purpose of the study from section 

5018(a) of the Water Resources 

Development Act of 2007 (Missouri 

River Ecosystem Restoration Plan). That 

study included the additional purpose 

of ecosystem restoration and was 

inclusive of the entire Missouri River 

watershed, including tributaries, while 

this plan and EIS will focus exclusively 

on the purposes of recovery and 

mitigation and be limited primarily to 

the areas and objectives prescribed in 

the authorities listed above. 

Scoping. Multiple phases of public, 

agency and Tribal government scoping 

meetings will be conducted throughout 

the Missouri River basin. Additional 

scoping phases are planned in order to 

address a preliminary range of 

alternatives and eventually to publish 

and solicit input on a draft EIS. Dates 

for these scoping phases have not yet 

been determined. General concerns, 

issues and needs related to the plan will 

be obtained throughout all scoping 

phases. Further information regarding 

when and where scoping meetings will 

be held as well as how written 

comments and suggestions concerning 

the EIS may be submitted will be found 

online at http://www.moriver

recovery.org when that information is 

available.

Notice for the Great Lakes and 

Mississippi River Interbasin Study 

(GLMRIS) 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE), Chicago District has 

posted on http://glmris.anl.gov/ 

documents/interim/anscontrol/ 

screening/index.cfm aquatic nuisance 

species (ANS) Controls that can be used 

to prevent the transfer of algae, 

crustaceans, fish and plants via aquatic 

pathways. USACE is announcing a 

comment period to allow for the 

submission of information on available 

ANS Controls for these organism types. 

In a December 8, 2010 notice of 

intent, Federal Register Notice (75 FR 

76447), USACE announced it will 

prepare a feasibility report and an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for GLMRIS. GLMRIS is a feasibility 

study of the range of options and 

technologies that could be applied to 

prevent ANS transfer between the Great 

Lakes and Mississippi River basins 

through aquatic pathways. USACE is 

conducting GLMRIS in consultation 

with other federal agencies, Native 

American tribes, state agencies, local 

governments and non-governmental 

organizations. For additional 

information regarding GLMRIS, please 

refer to the project Web site http:// 

glmris.anl.gov. 

This notice announces a comment 

period during which USACE is asking 

the public to submit (i) information on 

ANS Controls that may be effective at 

preventing the transfer of fish, algae, 

crustaceans and plants in the CAWS but 

are missing from the USACE’s lists of 

ANS Controls, or (ii) comments 

regarding the identified ANS Controls. 

DATES: USACE will be accepting public 

comments through February 21, 2013. 

Please refer to the ‘‘ANS Control 

Screening Comment Period ’’ section 

below for details on the information 

USACE is seeking during this comment 

period and instructions on comment 

submittal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background. USACE is conducting 

GLMRIS in consultation with other 

federal agencies, Native American 

tribes, state agencies, local governments 

and non-governmental organizations. 

For GLMRIS, USACE will explore ANS 

Controls that could be applied to 

prevent ANS transfer between the Great 

Lakes and Mississippi River basins 

through aquatic pathways. In the 

Aquatic Nuisance Species of Concern 

White Paper http://glmris.anl.gov/ 

documents/ans/index.cfm, USACE, in 

collaboration with our stakeholders, 

identified ANS of Concern and their 

corresponding organism types. These 

ANS of Concern and organism types 

were the initial focus of GLMRIS for the 

Chicago Area Waterway (CAWS). 

USACE identified over 90 options and 

technologies to prevent the transfer of 

the ANS of Concern via aquatic 

pathways http://glmris.anl.gov/ 

documents/interim/anscontrol/ 

index.cfm. The ANS Controls include, 

but are not limited to, hydrologic 

separation of the basins, modification of 

water quality or flow within a 

waterway, chemical application to ANS, 

collection and removal of ANS from a 

waterway, as well as other types of 

controls currently in research and 

development. 

As part of the ongoing analysis and in 

collaboration with state and federal 

agencies, USACE refined the organism 

types warranting further consideration 

to the following: algae, crustaceans, fish 

and plants. Additionally, USACE in 

collaboration with governmental 

agencies and organizations screened the 

list of ANS Controls per organism type 

and has posted them for public review 

at http://glmris.anl.gov/documents/ 

interim/anscontrol/screening/index.cfm. 

USACE will formulate plans using of 

one or more of the screened ANS 

Controls in consideration of four 

criteria: completeness, effectiveness, 

efficiency, and acceptability. USACE 

will evaluate the effects of the 

alternative plans. 

USACE is conducting GLMRIS in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

with the Economic and Environmental 

Principles and Guidelines for Water and 

Related Land Resource Implementation 

Studies, Water Resources Council, 

March 10, 1983.
