Withdrawal of Notice of Intent to 

Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS) for the Baltimore 

Metropolitan Water Resources Study—

Gwynns Falls in Baltimore County, 

Maryland 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Baltimore District of the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is 

withdrawing its intent to prepare a DEIS 

for the Baltimore Metropolitan Water 

Resources Study—Gwynns Falls in 

Baltimore County, Maryland. The Notice 

of Intent for the DEIS was published in 

the Federal Register on July 9, 1996 

(Volume 61, Number 132, Page 36038). 

Negative environmental impacts of the 

recommended plan are not significant 

and the Corps has determined that a 

DEIS is not appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: (1) In 

January 2006, the Project Report for 

Gwynns Falls and April 2004 Baltimore 

Metropolitan Water Resources Gwynns 

Falls Watershed Study Draft Feasibility 

Report and Integrated Environmental 

Assessment (report) were made 

available for agency and public review. 

The public review period formally 

ended on March 9, 2006. No agency or 

public comments were received during 

the review period. However, the 

proposed projects had previously been 

extensively coordinated with resource 

agencies and the public and were 

supported by both. The document 

contains letters of support from the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

(2) The report describes sanitary 

sewer rehabilitation, stream restoration, 

wetlands restoration, and stormwater 

management projects that the Corps and 

City of Baltimore (City) will construct 

within the Gwynns Fall watershed. The 

projects were authorized and partially 

funded by the Fiscal Year 2006 and 

Fiscal Year 2004 Energy and Water 

Appropriations Acts (Public Laws 109–

103 and 108–137, respectively). The 

2006 Act states that the City shall 

receive credit toward its share for work 

carried out prior to execution of a 

project cooperation agreement, if the 

Secretary of the Army determines that 

the work is integral to the projects. The 

2006 Act further provides that the City 

may also receive credit for any work 

performed pursuant to a project 

cooperation agreement and that the City 

shall be reimbursed for any work 

performed that is in excess of its share 

of project costs.
