Broadwater Resort, Biloxi, MS

AGENCY: Army Corps of Engineers,

Mobile District, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice of availability

announces the public release of the

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) for the Proposed Destination

Broadwater Resort, Biloxi, Mississippi.

On August 18, 1998, President Casinos,

LLC submitted a Joint Permit

Application and Notification to the US

Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile

District, the Mississippi Department of

Environmental Quality, Office of

Pollution Control and the Mississippi

Department of Marine Resources for the

Destination Broadwater project. The

proposed action involves the

redevelopment and construction of a

large-scale casino destination resort at

the existing Broadwater Resort and

President Casino adjacent to US

Highway 90 in Biloxi, Harrison County,

Mississippi. Based on a review of the

level of impacts associated with the

proposed action, the Mobile District

published a Notice of Intent to Prepare

an Environmental Impact Statement on

May 11, 1999. The Draft EIS has been

developed by the Corps of Engineers

(lead agency) and eight cooperating

Federal and state agencies. The Draft

EIS provides a comprehensive

environmental analysis to aid in the

decision-making process to deny or

approve the Department of the Army

permit for the proposed Destination

Broadwater Project.

DATES: The public comment period for

the Draft EIS will extend through July

17, 2000.

ADDRESSES: To receive a copy of the

Draft EIS, or to submit comments,

contact U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Mobile District, Coastal Environment

Team, Post Office Box 2288, Mobile, AL

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Army, Corps of

Engineers

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS)/Draft Environmental Impact

Report (DEIR)/Feasibility Study for

Coyote Creek at Rock Springs Flood

Damage Reduction Study, City of San

Jose, Santa Clara County, CA

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The purpose of this EIS/EIR is

to identify and evaluate the

environmental impacts of alternatives

developed to provide flood damage

reduction on Coyote Creek in the Rock

Springs area in San Jose, California, as

authorized by Section 205 of the 1948

Flood Control Act (33 U.S.C. 701s), as

amended. To fulfill the requirements of

Section 102(2)(c) of the National

Environmental Policy Act, the Corps of

Engineers has determined that the

proposed action may have a significant

effect on the quality of the human

environment, and therefore, requires the

preparation of an Environmental Impact

Statement. This document will also

serve as the Environmental Impact

Report (EIR) under the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Lead agency under CEQA is the Santa

Clara Valley Water District. This

environmental assessment is required

by the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended (Pub. L. 91–

190). Section 102(2)(A) requires Federal

agencies to: ‘‘Utilize a systematic

interdisciplinary approach, which will

insure the integrated use of the natural

and social sciences and the

environmental design arts in planning

and decision making, which may have

an impact on man’s environment.’’

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Written comments and questions

regarding the scoping process or

preparation of the EIS/EIR/FS may be

directed to Tamara Terry, U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers, San Francisco

District, 333 Market Street, 717S,

Seventh Floor, San Francisco, CA

94105–2197, (415) 977–8545, Fax: (415)

977–8695. E-mail:

tterry@spd.usace.army.mil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Authority: Pursuant to Section

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental

Policy Act. of 1969, as implemented by

the Council on Environmental Quality

Act (CEQA) regulations (40 CFR Parts

1500–1508), the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the

Department of the Army and Santa Clara

Valley Water District hereby give notice

of intent to prepare a joint

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report/

Feasibility Study (EIS/EIR/FS) for the

Rock Springs Flood Damage Reduction

Project, Santa Clara, California.

2. Comments/Scoping Meetings:

Interested parties are requested to

express their views concerning the

proposed activity. The public is

encouraged to provide written

comments in addition to or in lieu of,

oral comments at the scoping meeting.

To be most helpful, scoping comments

should clearly describe specific

environmental topics or issues, which

the commentator believes the document

should address. Oral and written

comments receive equal consideration.

Two workshop-scoping sessions will be

held on Thursday, June 29, 2000. The

first, from 2:30–4:30 p.m., is intended

primarily for local, state, and federal

agencies and organizations. The second,

from 7–9 p.m. is intended for all

interested parties. Both meetings will be

held at the Leininger Community

Center, 1300 Senter Road, San Jose,

California.

3. Availability of EIS/EIR/FS: The

Draft EIS/EIR/FS should be available for

public review in the spring of 2001.

4. Agencies Supporting Project: The

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Santa

Clara Valley Water District will be the

lead agencies in preparing the combined

EIS/EIR/FS. The EIS/EIR/FS will

provide an analysis supporting both the

requirements of NEPA and CEQA in

addressing impacts to the environment,

which may result from implementation

of flood control measures.

5. Purpose and Need for Project: This

project is intended to reduce flood

damages from high water in Coyote

Creek.

6. Study Area Description: The Rock

Springs study area encompasses an area

bounded by Phelan Avenue, Senter

Drive, and Needles Drive, in the Rock

Springs area of San Jose, Santa Clara

County, California.

7. 1997 Flooding: In 1997, 25

apartment buildings were badly

damaged during the January 27, 1997

flood on Coyote Creek, approximately a

15-year event. Water in some buildings

was 4 to 5 feet deep.

8. Project Alternatives: a. No Action.

This alternative assumes that no flood

damage reduction measures, structural

or non-structural, will be implemented

in the project area by the Federal

government or any other entity.

Flooding would continue at the same

frequency and intensity as it has in the

past.

b. Flood Control Alternatives.

Preliminary analysis suggests that flood

damage reduction alternatives to be

studied for the Coyote Creek at Rock

Springs area would include both

structural and non-structural measures.

Structural alternatives identified at this

time are an embankment levee and

floodwall, or a setback levee.

9. Other Environmental Review and

Consultation Requirements: The DEIS/

EIR will be used as the primary

information document to secure

compliance the Clean Water Act Section

404(b)(1) guidelines, the Fish and

Wildlife Coordination Act, and the

Endangered Species Act. The DEIS/EIR

will be used by the local sponsor to

meet its responsibilities under the

California Environmental Quality Act,

and used by the San Francisco Regional

Water Quality Control Board to meet its

responsibilities under the PorterCologne Act. The DEIS/EIR will be used

by the ‘‘trustee agency’’ reviews by the

State of California.

10. DEIS/EIR Availability: The DEIS/

EIR will be available to the public in the

Spring of 2001.
