Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for a Proposed Environmental

Restoration and Storm Damage

Reduction Project for Lower Cape May

Meadows, Cape May County, NJ

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The action being taken is an

evaluation of the alternatives for storm

damage reduction and environmental

restoration for the Lower Cape May

Meadows, Cape May, New Jersey. The

purpose of any consequent work would

be to provide protection and

stabilization to the shoreline protecting

the important ecological habitat at The

Meadows and to restore sensitive

habitat behind the dune.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions regarding the DEIS should be

addressed to Ms. Beth Brandreth, (215)

656–6558, U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, CENAP–PL–E, Wanamaker

Building, 100 Penn Square East,

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107–

3390.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Action

a. The draft document evaluates a

study area which includes the Lower

Cape May Meadows and Cape May

Point, extending from Alexander

Avenue east to the terminal groin

located at Third Avenue in Cape May

City. The study area encompasses

approximately 350 acres of critical

migratory bird habitat, composed mostly

of fresh water and brackish water

wetlands. A portion of this site is owned

by the Nature Conservancy while the

remainder is managed by the State of

New Jersey in the form of Cape May

Point State Park. The beach which

protects this habitat has been subject to

extensive erosion by storms, tidal

inundation, and wave action, resulting

in the loss of approximately 115 acres

of habitat since 1955. In addition, the

continuous erosion, dune breaching and

salt water intrusion has degraded the

remaining habitat. Two potential

offshore sand borrow sources, located in

the vicinity of The Meadows, have been

investigated during this study.

b. The authorities for the proposed

project are the resolutions adopted by

the Committee on Public Works and

Transportation of the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Committee on

Environmental and Public Works of the

U.S. Senate in December 1987.

2. Alternatives

In addition to the no action

alternative, the alternatives considered

for environmental restoration, storm

damage reduction, and erosion control

will fall into structural and

environmental management categories.

The structural measures to correct the

beach erosion include offshore

breakwaters, groins, beach nourishment,

perched beach, submerged reef with

beachfill, and offshore submerged feeder

berms. Environmental management

measures include the elimination/
