wetland benches within the daily flow 

channel. 

Weir Gulch Alternative 3. The Weir 

Gulch nonstructural flood risk 

management alternative includes such 

nonstructural measures as elevation, 

buyouts, relocations, wet floodproofing, 

dry floodproofing, etc. Incremental 

nonstructural measures were added to 

reaches 4, 5, and 7. There were only five 

structures with an individual benefitcost ratio (BCR) over 1.0 in reaches 

these reaches, therefore to include as 

many structures as possible, structures 

with an individual BCR above 0.5 were 

included. A total of 13 structures were 

identified as part of the nonstructural 

alternative. 

Weir Gulch Alternative 4. The Weir 

Gulch flood channel and nonstructural 

flood risk management combination 

alternative combines the measures and 

properties considered in alternatives 2 

and 3 into a single alternative by 

looking at how isolated nonstructural 

measures could be used to further 

reduce the existing flood risk and thus 

generate higher flood risk reduction 

benefits. 

Harvard Alternative 1. The Harvard 

Gulch NAA would involve the UDFCD 

and CCD ongoing operation and 

maintenance of constructed flood risk 

management features along the Harvard 

Gulch. Harvard Gulch Park would 

continue to be maintained for its current 

mixed use recreational purposes. 

Ongoing minor invasive species 

management and water quality 

improvements would be expected to 

continue, but construction of habitat 

restoration or additional flood risk 

management features would not be 

expected to occur. 

Harvard Gulch Alternative 2. The 

Harvard Gulch flood channel alternative 

would involve increasing conveyance 

through the project area by widening the 

channel in reaches 2 through 5 with a 

culvert expansion in reach 1. The 

channel widening in reaches 2 through 

5 would involve maintaining the 

approximately 1-foot wide daily flow 

channel, excavating a low flow channel 

and re-grading the upper channel sides 

to a 3H:1V slope. The flood control 

channel would consist generally of a 

trapezoidal low-flow channel designed 

to convey approximately 70% of the 

50% ACE (2-year return interval flood), 

per UDFCD guidelines. The overall 

channel width varies by location and 

reach, but in general top of channel 

widths average 80 feet. Native species 

vegetation plantings would also be 

incorporated into this alternative to 

restore some riparian vegetation along 

the channel banks and restore wetland 

benches within the daily flow channel. 

Harvard Gulch Alternative 3. The 

Harvard Gulch nonstructural flood risk 

management alternative includes 

structures in all reaches with an 

individual BCR above 1.0 and 10 

buyouts located in the floodway in 

reach 4. The 10 residential buyouts in 

the floodway were selected based on 

flood damages beginning at the 10% 

ACE (10-year return interval flood) and 

inundation depths around 3 feet during 

the 1% ACE (100-year return interval 

flood). Of the structures meeting this 

criteria, the 10 closest to the channel 

were selected. This selection criteria 

also aligns with the non-Federal 

sponsor’s Harvard Gulch Major 

Drainageway Plan. The nonstructural 

measures for the 96 structures in this 

alternative include elevation, basement 

fill, dry floodproofing, and buyouts. 

Harvard Gulch Alternative 4. The 

Harvard Gulch flood channel and 

nonstructural flood risk management 

combination alternative combines the 

measures and properties considered in 

alternatives 2 and 3 into a single 

alternative by looking at how isolated 

nonstructural measures could be used to 

further reduce the existing flood risk 

and thus generate higher flood risk 

reduction benefits. 

The Draft EIS evaluates the potential 

effects on the human environmental 

associated with each of the alternatives. 

Issues addressed include: Land use and 

vegetation, social and economic 

conditions, recreation, water resources, 

climate change, biological resources, 

cultural resources, geomorphology, 

preexisting contamination, utilities and 

infrastructure, air quality, noise, and 

environmental justice. 

Schedule. A 45-day public comment 

period will begin July 2, 2018. 

Comments on the Draft EIS must be 

received by August 16, 2018. The Corps 

will consider and respond to all 

comments received on the Draft EIS 

when preparing the Final EIS. The 

Corps expects to issue the Final EIS in 

the spring of 2019, at which time a 

Notice of Availability will be published 

in the Federal Register. 

The public meeting date or location 

may change based on inclement weather 

or exceptional circumstances. If the 

meeting date or location is changed, the 

Corps will issue a press release and post 

it on the web at http://www.nwo.usace.

website. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

meeting is being held under the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 

U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 

41 CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150. 

This notice of meeting is provided per 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The executive 

session of the meeting from 11:15 a.m. 

to 12:00 p.m. on September 4, 2018, will 

consist of discussions of new and 

pending administrative/minor 

disciplinary infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving midshipmen 

attending the Naval Academy to include 

but not limited to, individual honor/ 

conduct violations within the Brigade, 

the disclosure of which would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. For this 

reason, the executive session of this 

meeting will be closed to the public, as 

the discussion of such information 

cannot be adequately segregated from 

other topics, which precludes opening 

the executive session of this meeting to 

the public. Accordingly, the Department 

of the Navy/Assistant for 

Administration has determined in 

writing that the meeting shall be 

partially closed to the public because 

the discussions during the executive 

session from 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

will be concerned with matters 

protected under sections 552b(c)(5), (6), 

and (7) of title 5, United States Code. 

Purpose of the Meeting: The U.S. 

Naval Academy Board of Visitors will 

meet to make such inquiry, as the Board 

shall deem necessary, into the state of 

morale and discipline, the curriculum, 

instruction, physical equipment, fiscal 

affairs, and academic methods of the 

Naval Academy.

Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 

CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140(c) and 

section 10(a)(3) of the FACA, the public 

or interested organizations may submit 

written statements to the membership of 

the DPB at any time regarding its 

mission or in response to the stated 

agenda of a planned meeting. Written

individual comments pertain to a 

specific topic being discussed at a 

planned meeting, then these statements 

must be submitted no later than five 

business days prior to the meeting in 

question. The DFO will review all
