DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Amendment to the Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the 

Millennium Bulk Terminals–Longview 

Shipping Facility Project 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(Corps), DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: Millennium Bulk Terminals– 

Longview, LLC (MBTL) is proposing to 

construct and operate a shipping facility 

near Longview, Washington. 

Department of the Army (DA) 

authorization is required pursuant to 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act. The Corps has determined 

the proposed project may have 

significant individual and/or 

cumulative impacts on the human 

environment. The Corps is working in 

collaboration with the Cowlitz County 

Building and Planning Department 

(County) and the Washington State 

Department of Ecology (WDOE), to 

prepare separate federal and state 

Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, and the Washington 

State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). 

The Corps will serve as the lead federal 

agency for purposes of preparing a 

NEPA EIS, while the County and WDOE 

will serve as lead agencies for purposes 

of preparing a SEPA EIS. This Notice of 

Intent amends the notice published in 

the Federal Register on August 14, 2013 

(78 FR 49484) by providing additional 

and updated information on a separate 

but synchronized environmental review 

and public scoping process. 

DATES: The scoping period for the EIS 

began August 16, 2013. Written 

comments regarding the scope of the 

EIS, including the environmental 

analysis, range of alternatives, and 

potential mitigation actions should be 

submitted to the address below or by 

email to 

comments@millenniumbulkeiswa.gov 

by the closing date of the EIS scoping 

period, November 18, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

regarding issues to be addressed in the 

NEPA EIS and requests to be included 

on the EIS notification mailing list 

should be submitted to Ms. Danette L. 

Guy, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Seattle District in care of MBTL EIS, 710 

Second Avenue, Suite 550, Seattle, 

Washington, 98104. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Danette L. Guy by email at 

danette.l.guy@usace.army.mil, by 

regular mail at (see ADDRESSES), or by 

telephone at (206) 316–3048. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Preparation of an EIS will support the 

Corps’ eventual decision to either issue, 

issue with conditions, or deny a DA 

permit for the proposed action. As part 

of the NEPA process, the Corps will 

gather and analyze information to 

compare the potential environmental 

effects of possible project alternatives 

and a ‘‘no action’’ alternative in the EIS. 

An EIS will be prepared to assess the 

potential social, economic and 

environmental impacts of the project, 

and will be sufficient in scope to 

address Federal regulatory requirements 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

54872 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 173 / Friday, September 6, 2013 / Notices 

and pertinent environmental and socioeconomic issues. 

The federal EIS process began with 

publication of a Notice of Intent on 

August 14, 2013. The EIS will be 

prepared in accordance with the Corps’ 

procedures for implementing NEPA (33 

CFR Part 325, Appendix B) and 

consistent with the Corps’ policy to 

facilitate public understanding and 

review of agency proposals. 

1. Proposed Action. The decision to 

issue, issue with conditions, or to deny 

a permit for various activities within the 

Corps’ jurisdiction associated with the 

proposed construction and operation of 

a shipping facility by Millennium Bulk 

Terminals-Longview (MBTL). Currently, 

MBTL intends to ship coal from the 

facility. 

2. Project Description. The project site 

is located in Cowlitz County, 

Washington, in an industrial area along 

the Columbia River just west of the city 

of Longview. MBTL proposes to 

construct the project on approximately 

190 acres of a 536-acre site. The project 

includes construction of two piers in the 

Columbia River connected by a 

conveyor and access ramp. One pier 

would be up to 1,400 feet long and 

range from approximately 90 to 130 feet 

wide. The second pier would be 

approximately 900 feet long and 100 

feet wide. Both would be connected to 

dry land by an access trestle 

approximately 800 feet long and range 

in width from up to 35 feet on the north 

end to up to 60 feet on the south end. 

The piers and trestle would support two 

ship loaders. MBTL proposes to dredge 

approximately 500,000 cubic yards of 

substrate from a 48-acre berthing area 

along the riverward side of the proposed 

piers. The dredged material would be 

disposed in the flow lane of the 

Columbia River. Periodic future 

maintenance dredging of the berthing 

area is also proposed. The shipping 

facility would include an open-air 

storage area approximately 75 acres in 

size serviced by an on-site balloon track 

system with parking capacity for eight 

trains. A system of rail-mounted 

reclaimers would convey coal from the 

storage area to the loading facility. The 

terminal would also include rail car 

unloading facilities, roadways, service 

buildings, storm water treatment 

facilities, and utility infrastructure. 

Constructing the portion of the terminal 

adjacent to the Columbia River would 

impact approximately 38 acres of waters 

of the U.S., including wetlands and 

drainage ditches. Any compensatory 

mitigation for impacts to waters of the 

U.S. would comply with the 2008 

Compensatory Mitigation Rule for 

Losses of Aquatic Resources, 33 CFR 

parts 325 and 332; 73 FR 19594 (April 

10, 2008). 

3. Alternatives. The EIS will address 

an array of alternatives for a facility to 

receive material by rail and load ships 

for ocean transport. Alternatives may 

include, but will not be limited to, no 

action, alternative sites, alternative 

methods for on-site handling, and 

alternative facility designs. Mitigation 

measures could include, but would not 

be limited to, avoidance of sensitive 

areas, creation or enhancement of 

riverine nearshore habitats, and 

creation, restoration, or enhancement of 

wetlands. 

4. Scope of Analysis. The scope of 

analysis identifies the federal action 

area under NEPA and, along with public 

input through the scoping process, 

informs the impacts (direct, indirect, 

and cumulative) analyzed in the EIS. In 

determining the scope of analysis for 

this EIS, the Corps must identify the 

scope of the activities under 

consideration and decide, for the 

purposes of NEPA, whether the agency 

has ‘‘control and responsibility’’ for 

activities outside of waters of the U.S. 

such that issuance of a permit would 

amount to approval of those activities 

(33 CFR Part 325 Appendix B, Par. 

7(b)(1)). As a general rule, the Corps 

extends its scope of analysis beyond 

waters of the U.S. where the 

environmental consequences of upland 

elements of the project may be 

considered products of either the Corps 

permit action or the permit action in 

conjunction with other federal 

involvement (33 CFR Part 325 Appendix 

B, Para. 7(b)(2)). 

For this EIS, the Corps’ scope of 

analysis will include the entire MBTL 

project area and any offsite area that 

might be used for compensatory 

mitigation. The project area consists of 

the approximately 190-acre shipping 

terminal project site, the area to be 

dredged, the dredged material disposal 

site(s), and any other area in or adjacent 

to the Columbia River that would be 

affected by, and integral to, the 

proposed project. 

5. Scoping Process. The scoping 

period began August 16, 2013, and will 

continue for 95 days until November 18, 

2013. The Corps invites Federal 

agencies, state and local governments, 

Native American Tribes, and the public 

to participate in the scoping process by 

providing written comments and/or 

attending the public scoping meetings 

scheduled for the dates and locations 

listed below. Written comments will be 

considered during preparation of the 

Draft EIS. Comments postmarked or 

emailed after the closing date of the 

scoping period will be considered to the 

extent feasible. 

The purpose of scoping is to assist the 

Corps in identifying pertinent issues, 

public concerns, and alternatives, and 

the depth to which they should be 

evaluated in the EIS, consistent with the 

Corps’ scope of analysis for this project, 

as stated above. The Corps has prepared 

project information documents to 

familiarize agencies, tribes, interested 

organizations, and the public with the 

proposed project and potential 

environmental impacts. Copies of these 

documents will be available at the 

public meetings and on the Internet 

Web site developed for this EIS, 

www.millenniumbulkeiswa.gov, or may 

be requested from Corps project 

manager, Ms. Danette L. Guy (see 

contact information above). Corps 

representatives will also answer 

scoping-related questions and accept 

comments at public scoping meetings. 

a. Public scoping meetings will be 

held to present an overview of the 

MBTL project and afford participants an 

opportunity to provide comments on the 

range of actions, alternatives, and 

potential impacts. Two of the scoping 

meetings announced in the August 14, 

2013, Notice of Intent have been revised 

to reflect the Corps’ public scoping 

meetings schedule. The Corps official
