to initiate the scoping process for the 

preparation of a Dredged Material 

Management Plan (DMMP) and 

Environmental Assessment for 

continued maintenance dredging at 

Crescent City Harbor. The goal of the

placement of dredged material to 

accommodate maintenance dredging 

over the next twenty years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Corps intends to prepare a Dredged 

Material Management Plan (DMMP) and 

accompanying Environmental 

Assessment (EA). The primary Federal 

actions under consideration are 

dredging, dredged material placement, 

and transport of dredged material for the 

purpose of ocean placement and/or 

upland beneficial reuse. The Crescent 

City Harbor District is the Non-Federal 

Sponsor (NFS). The Draft DMMP is 

intended to be sufficient in scope to 

address the Federal, state and local 

requirements and environmental issues 

concerning the proposed activities and 

permit approvals. 

Project Site and Background 

Information: Crescent City Harbor is 

located on the Northern California coast 

about 280 nautical miles north of San 

Francisco and about 17 miles south of 

the Oregon border. The harbor is located 

on the south edge of a broad marine 

terrace bordered on the south and west 

by the Pacific Ocean and on the north 

and east by densely forested coastal 

mountains. Crescent City Harbor is a 

shallow-draft critical harbor of refuge, 

supporting a U.S. Coast Guard search 

and rescue station, commercial and 

sport fishing, waterfront industry, and 

recreational boating. 

The harbor’s naturally crescentshaped beach is bound by a 4,700-foot 

long rubble-mound outer breakwater to 

the west, a 2,400-foot long sand barrier 

to the east, and a 1,600-foot rubblemound inner breakwater to the south. 

The harbor’s opening faces south and is 

about 2,000 feet across. 

There are currently three federally 

constructed and maintained navigation 

channels at Crescent City Harbor. The 

Inner Harbor Basin Channel extends for 

2,200 feet along the inside and around 

the tip of the inner breakwater, where it 

connects to the Entrance Channel, a 200 

foot wide channel that extends 2,200 

feet to the outer breakwater. The Marina 

Access Channel is 140–210 feet wide 

and extends 1,200 feet from the Inner 

Harbor Basin Channel to the small boat 

basin. 

The Entrance Channel has a project 

depth of 20 feet mean lower low water 

(MLLW) while the interior channels, 

Inner Harbor Basin and Marina Access, 

have a project depth of 15 feet MLLW. 

Proposed Action(S): This study report 

will: (1) verify that continued federal 

maintenance is justified; and (2) present 

a viable 20-year plan for dredging and 

disposal of materials associated with 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 2015 / Notices 3569 

Crescent City Harbors’ continued 

operations and maintenance work. 

Four previously used disposal sites: 

SF–1, Crescent City Harbor Dredge 

Ponds, Beach Nourishment at Whaler 

Island and Humboldt Ocean Disposal 

Site (HOODS); and four previously 

unused disposal sites: SFDODS, Chetco 

River Disposal Site (Chetco), an 

Offshore Berm area and a potential 

Crescent City Harbor Waterfront 

Development Plan site will be 

evaluated. Figure 1 displays the eight 

sites being considered. 

Issues: Potentially significant issues 

associated with the project may include: 

aesthetics/visual impacts, air quality 

emissions, biological resource impacts, 

environmental justice, geologic impacts 

related to seismicity, hazards and 

hazardous materials, hydrology and 

water quality, noise, traffic and 

transportation, and cumulative impacts 

from past, present and reasonably 

foreseeable future projects. 

Scoping Process: The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers is seeking 

participation and input of all interested 

federal, state, and local agencies, Native 

American groups, and other concerned 

private organizations or individuals on 

the scope of the draft DMMP and EA 

through this public notice. The purpose 

of the public scoping meeting is to 

solicit comments regarding the potential 

impacts, environmental issues, and 

alternative placement sites associated 

with the proposed action to be 

considered in the study report. The 

meeting place, date and time will be 

advertised in advance in local 

newspapers, and meeting 

announcement letters will be sent to 

interested parties. The final draft DMMP 

is expected to be available for public 

review and comment in the summer of 

2015 and a public meeting will be held 

after its publication.

Isle Beach, extending into the Atlantic 

Ocean, just west of Shallotte Inlet. The 

structure will be designed to function in 

concert with the Federal storm damage 

reduction project. 

DATES: The public is invited to attend,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Project Description. The Town of 

Ocean Isle Beach is seeking Federal and 

State authorization for construction of a 

terminal groin, and associated beach 

fillet with required maintenance, to be 

located at the eastern end of Ocean Isle 

Beach. The proposed terminal groin and 

beach fillet is the Town’s preferred 

alternative (#5) of five alternatives 

considered in this document. Under the 

preferred alternative, the terminal groin 

would have a seaward section extending 

750-feet seaward of the April 2007 mean 

high water shoreline and a 300-foot 

shore anchorage section extending 

landward of the April 2007 mean high 

water shoreline. The seaward section 

would be constructed with loosely 

placed armor stone to facilitate the 

movement of sand past the structure. 

The shore anchorage section would be 

constructed with sheet pile which 

would have a top elevation varying from 

+4.9 feet NAVD to +4.5 feet NAVD. 

The proposed terminal groin is one of 

four such structures approved by the 

General Assembly to be constructed in 

North Carolina following passing of 

Senate Bill (SB) 110. The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE) determined 

that there is sufficient information to 

conclude that the project would result 

in significant adverse impact on the 

human environment, and has prepared 

a DEIS pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to 

evaluate the environmental effects of the 

alternatives considering the project’s 

purpose and need. The purpose and 

need of the proposed terminal groin and 

beach fillet is to provide shoreline 

protection that would mitigate chronic 

erosion on the eastern portion on the 

Town’s oceanfront shoreline so as to 

preserve the integrity of its 

infrastructure, provide protection to 

existing development, and ensure the 

continued use of the oceanfront beach 

along this area. 

2. Issues. There are several potential 

environmental and public interest 

issues that are addressed in the DEIS. 

Public interest issues include, but are 

not limited to, the following: Public 

safety, aesthetics, recreation, navigation, 

infrastructure, solid waste, economics, 

and noise pollution. Additional issues 

may be identified during the public 

review process. Issues initially 

identified as potentially significant 

include: 

a. Potential impacts to marine 

biological resources (benthic organisms, 

passageway for fish and other marine 

life) and Essential Fish Habitat. 

b. Potential impacts to threatened and 

endangered marine mammals, reptiles, 

birds, fish, and plants. 

c. Potential for effects/changes to 

Ocean Isle beach, Holden Beach, and 

Shallotte inlet, respectively. 

d. Potential impacts to navigation. 

e. Potential effects on regional sand 

sources and sand management practices, 

including the Federal (Ocean Isle Beach 

storm damage reduction) project. 

f. Potential effects of shoreline 

protection. 

g. Potential impacts on public health 

and safety. 

h. Potential impacts to recreational 

and commercial fishing.
