DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Excelsior Estates Project 

in Sacramento County, CA, Corps 

Permit Application Number SPK–2004– 

00790 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento District, (Corps) 

received a complete Department of the 

Army permit application from 

Tsakopoulos Investments (applicant) to 

fill 39.81 acres of waters of the United 

States to construct the proposed 

Excelsior Estates Project in Sacramento 

County, CA, in June 2010. The Corps, as 

the lead agency responsible for 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

determined that the proposed project 

may result in significant impacts to the 

environment, and that the preparation 

of an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) is required. 

The applicant proposes to construct a 

mixed-use community including 

residential, commercial, office, schools, 

parks and open space land uses. The 

residential component of the proposed 

community would include 

approximately 4,400 single- and multifamily units, varying in density. The 

proposed project would also involve 57 

acres of commercial and office uses, as 

well as two elementary schools and a 

combined middle school and high 

school on 102 acres. A proposed 

community park would be constructed 

on 20 acres and three neighborhood 

parks would be constructed on 31 acres. 

The proposed project would also 

involve the preservation of 123 acres on 

the eastern portion of the site, 

containing Morrison Creek and adjacent 

wetlands. The applicant also proposes 

to construct approximately 30 acres of 

drainageways and greenbelts. Finally, 

the proposed project would involve the 

construction of on-site and off-site 

infrastructure, consisting of roads and 

utility lines, including road extensions 

along Keifer Boulevard, Excelsior Road 

and the Jackson Highway. 

The project site is approximately 862 

acres and contains 39.81 acres of waters 

of the U.S. In addition, the site also 

contains 13.61 acres of isolated, 

intrastate waters that are not subject to 

Corps jurisdiction, which may contain 

suitable habitat for Federally listed 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 199 / Friday, October 14, 2011 / Notices 63911 

threatened and/or endangered species. 

The proposed project would involve the 

discharge of fill material into 

approximately 28.77 acres of waters of 

the United States, and the preservation 

of 11.04 acres of waters of the U.S. The 

proposed project would also involve the 

placement of fill material into 13.61 

acres of isolated waters. The proposed 

project may also have indirect impacts 

on other waters of the U.S. 

DATES: The Corps will conduct a public 

scoping meeting that will be held on 

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 from 

5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting will be 

held at Rancho Cordova City Hall, 

located at 2729 Prospect Park Drive, 

Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.

added to the Corps’ electronic mail (email) notification list for the proposed 

project can e-mail a request to spkregulatory-info@usace.army.mil and 

indicate which list you would like your 

e-mail address to be added. Please refer 

to Identification Number SPK–2004– 

00790 in any correspondence. 

The proposed Excelsior Estates 

Project site is located in unincorporated 

eastern Sacramento County. The site is 

bordered on the north by Keifer 

Boulevard, on the south by Jackson 

Highway and on the west by Excelsior 

Road. The proposed project site is 

located within portions of Sections 23, 

24, 25 and 26, Township 8 North, Range 

6 East, Latitude 38.52393° North, 

Longitude 121.27833° West, Mount 

Diablo Meridian. 

Approximately 39.81 acres of waters 

of the United States are present within 

the proposed project area. These waters 

include 21.99 acres of vernal pools, 5.27 

acres of seasonal wetlands, 11.08 acres 

of perennial marsh, 1.19 acres of 

intermittent drainage, including 

Morrison Creek, and 0.28 acres of 

ditches. These areas are subject to the 

Corps’ jurisdiction. The site also 

contains 13.61 acres of isolated aquatic 

habitat, which are not subject to Corps 

jurisdiction but will be evaluated in the 

EIS, including 5.80 acres of vernal 

pools, 2.51 acres of seasonal wetlands, 

0.23 acres of ephemeral drainage, a 5.04 

acre stock pond and 0.03 acres of 

ditches. Approximately 630 acres of the 

862 acre project site has been designated 

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(USFWS) as critical habitat for the 

Federally listed vernal pool fairy shrimp 

(Branchinecta lynchi), vernal pool 

tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi), 

Sacramento Orcutt grass (Orcuttia 

viscida) and slender Orcutt grass 

(Orcuttia tenuis). 

The EIS will include alternatives to 

the Proposed Action that will meet 

NEPA requirements for a reasonable 

range of alternatives, and will also meet 

the requirements of CWA Section 

404(b)(1) Guidelines. The alternatives to 

be evaluated within the EIS have not yet 

been developed, but will, at a minimum, 

include the No Action Alternative, the 

Proposed Project Alternative, additional 

on-site alternatives, and off-site 

alternatives. 

Sacramento County will be the lead 

agency responsible for compliance with 

the California Environmental Quality 

Act (CEQA) and will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The 

Corps is anticipating that Sacramento 

County will agree to develop a joint EIS/ 

EIR with the Corps. 

The Corps’ public involvement 

program includes several opportunities 

to provide verbal and written comments 

on the proposed Excelsior Estates 

Project through the EIS process. 

Affected federal, state, and local 

agencies, Native American tribes, and 

other interested private organizations 

and parties are invited to participate. 

Potentially significant issues to be 

analyzed in depth in the EIS include 

loss of waters of the United States 

(including wetlands), and impacts 

related to cultural resources, biological 

resources, including Federally listed 

threatened and/or endangered species, 

air quality, hydrology and water quality, 

noise, traffic, aesthetics, utilities and 

service systems, and socioeconomic 

effects. 

The Corps will initiate formal 

consultation with the USFWS under 

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 

for impacts to listed species that may 

result from the proposed project. The 

Corps will also consult with the State 

Historic Preservation Office under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act for properties listed or 

potentially eligible for listing on the 

National Register of Historic Places, as 

appropriate. 

The Draft EIS is expected to be made 

available to the public in the summer of 

2012.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/ 

DEIR) for a Permit Application for a 

Proposed Aggregate Terminal Project 

on Pier D in the Port of Long Beach, 

Los Angeles County, CA 

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 considering a 

permit application from Eagle Rock 

Aggregates, Inc., a division of Polaris 

Minerals Corporation, to develop an 

aggregate receiving and storage terminal 

on privately held land within the Port 

of Long Beach (Port). The Proposed 

Action would be subject to the Corps 

permitting authority under Section 10 of 

the River and Harbors Act and include 

the following in-water and land-based 

elements: dredging, wharf 

improvements, installation of truck 

scales and conveyor system for 

aggregate. 

The primary Federal concerns are the 

dredging and wharf improvements 

within waters of the United States and 

the potential impacts to the natural and 

human environment. Therefore, in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Corps is requiring the preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

prior to consideration of any permit 

action. The Corps may ultimately make 

a determination to permit or deny the 

Proposed Action, or permit or deny 

alternatives to the Proposed Action. 

Pursuant to the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the 

Port will serve as the lead agency for the 

preparation of an Environmental Impact 

Report (EIR) for its consideration of 

development approvals within its 

jurisdiction. The Corps and the Port 

have agreed to jointly prepare a DEIS/ 

DEIR in order to optimize efficiency and 

avoid duplication. The DEIS/DEIR is 

intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address the Federal, state, and local
