DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Availability and Notice of 

Public Meetings for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Land-Water Interface and Service Pier 

Extension, Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, 

Silverdale, WA 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) and the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 through 

1508), the Department of the Navy 

(Navy) has prepared and filed with the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for Land-Water Interface (LWI) and 

Service Pier Extension (SPE) on Naval 

Base Kitsap Bangor, Silverdale, WA. 

The Draft EIS evaluates the potential 

environmental effects of two proposed 

actions: (1) The proposed construction 

and operation of LWI structures and (2) 

the proposed construction and 

operation of a SPE and associated 

support facilities, both on Naval Base 

Kitsap Bangor. 

With the filing of the Draft EIS, the 

Navy is initiating a 60-day public 

comment period and has scheduled two 

public meetings to provide information 

and receive comments on the Draft EIS. 

This notice announces the dates and 

locations of the public meetings and 

provides information about the 

environmental planning effort. 

DATES: Dates and Addresses: Public 

meetings will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 

8:00 p.m., with a presentation at 6:30 

p.m. on the following dates and 

locations: March 3, 2015, at the 

Chimacum High School Commons, 91 

West Valley Road, Chimacum, WA 

98325; March 4, 2015, at the North 

Kitsap High School Commons, 1780 NE 

Hostmark Street, Poulsbo, WA 98370. 

The 60-day public review and 

comment period for the Draft EIS is 

from February 13, 2015 through April 

13, 2015. The Navy will hold two public 

meetings to inform the public about the 

proposed actions and potential 

environmental impacts, and to provide 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on the adequacy and accuracy 

of the environmental analysis. The 

public meetings will include an open 

house information session, followed by 

a presentation by the Navy, and a verbal 

comment session. Navy representatives 

will be available during the open house 

information sessions to clarify 

information related to the Draft EIS. 

Federal, state, and local agencies and 

officials, as well as interested 

organizations and individuals, are 

encouraged to provide comments in 

writing during the public review period 

or in person at one of the scheduled 

public meetings. 

Attendees will be able to submit 

verbal and/or written comments during 

the public meetings. A court reporter 

will record comments from the public 

during the verbal comment session. In 

the interest of available time, and to 

ensure all who wish to provide a verbal 

statement to the court reporter have the 

opportunity to do so, each speaker’s 

comments will be limited to three (3) 

minutes, which may be extended if 

meeting attendance and time permits. 

Equal weight will be given to verbal and 

written comments. 

Comments may also be submitted via 

mail to Naval Facilities Engineering 

Command Northwest, 1101 Tautog 

Circle, Suite 203, Silverdale, WA

submitted during the public comment 

period will become part of the public 

record. All comments will be 

considered and acknowledged or 

responded to in the Final EIS. The Navy 

may address the comments directly, or 

the Navy may respond to public 

comments by modifying the analysis in 

the EIS as appropriate. Comments must 

be postmarked or received online by 

April 13, 2015, to ensure they are 

considered in the Final EIS. No decision 

will be made to implement any 

alternative until the NEPA process is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice 

of Intent to prepare the Land-Water 

Interface and Service Pier Extension EIS 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 1, 2013 (78 FR 7416). Two 

public scoping meetings were held on 

the following dates and locations: 

1. February 20, 2013, Chimacum High 

School Commons, 91 West Valley Road, 

Chimacum, WA 98325; and 

2. February 21, 2013, North Kitsap 

High School Commons, 1780 Northeast 

Hostmark Street, Poulsbo, WA 98370. 

The LWI proposed action is to 

complete the perimeter of the 

Waterfront Restricted Area at Naval 

Base Kitsap Bangor by constructing and 

operating barrier structures connecting 

the existing on-water Port Security 

Barrier system to the existing on-land 

Waterfront Security Enclave. The 

purpose of the LWI proposed action is 

to comply with Department of Defense 

directives to protect OHIO Class 

ballistic missile (TRIDENT) submarines 

from increased and evolving threats and 

to prevent the seizure, damage, or 

destruction of military assets. The LWI 

is needed to enhance security within the 

Waterfront Restricted Area and comply 

with security requirements. Three 

alternatives were carried forward for 

analysis: No Action (Alternative 1), PileSupported Pier (Alternative 2), and Port 

Security Barrier Modifications 

(Alternative 3). Alternative 3 is the 

preferred alternative. 

The SPE proposed action is to extend 

and operate the existing Service Pier 

and construct and operate support 

facilities to accommodate the transfer of 

two SEAWOLF Class submarines from 

Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton to Naval 

Base Kitsap Bangor. The purpose of the 

SPE proposed action is to eliminate 

deployment constraints and improve 

maintenance of the SEAWOLF Class 

submarine fleet. The SPE is needed to 

avoid restrictions at Naval Base Kitsap 

Bremerton on navigating SEAWOLF 

Class submarines through Rich Passage 

under certain tidal conditions; improve 

long-term operational effectiveness for 

the three SEAWOLF Class submarines 

on Naval Base Kitsap; provide berthing 

and logistical support for SEAWOLF, 

LOS ANGELES, and VIRGINIA Class 

submarines at the Navy’s submarine

research, development, test, and 

evaluation hub, located at Naval Base 

Kitsap Bangor; and improve submarine 

crew training and readiness through colocation of SEAWOLF Class submarines 

with command functions on the Naval 

Base Kitsap Bangor submarine training 

center. Three alternatives were carried 

forward for analysis: No Action 

(Alternative 1), Short Pier (Alternative 

2), and Long Pier (Alternative 3). 

Alternative 2 is the preferred 

alternative. 

The LWI and SPE are independent 

actions, but are analyzed in the same 

EIS because their geographic proximity 

results in the potential for the two 

projects to have overlapping 

environmental impacts. The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers and National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) are 

cooperating agencies for this EIS. 

The Navy analyzed potential impacts 

from the proposed actions on 

environmental resources, including 

marine water resources (hydrography, 

water quality, sediment quality); marine 

vegetation and invertebrates; plankton; 

fish; marine mammals; marine birds; 

terrestrial biological resources 

(vegetation and habitats; wetlands; 

threatened, endangered, and sensitive 

species; and wildlife); geology, soils, 

and water resources; land use and 

recreation; airborne acoustic 

environment; aesthetics and visual 

quality; socioeconomics; environmental 

justice and protection of children; 

cultural resources; American Indian 

traditional resources; traffic; and air 

quality. 

For the LWI structures constructed 

under Alternative 2, impacts would 

include in-water pile-driving noise, 

including effects on fish and wildlife; 

turbidity; and habitat impacts. Impacts 

from operation and maintenance would 

include loss and shading of marine 

habitat, including eelgrass, macroalgae, 

and the benthic (bottom-dwelling) 

community, as well as potential 

interference with migration of some 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) protected 

juvenile salmon. LWI Alternative 2 has 

the potential to impact fish and bird 

species protected under the ESA and 

marine mammals protected under the 

ESA and the Marine Mammal Protection 

Act (MMPA). For the LWI structures 

constructed under Alternative 3, 

impacts would include airborne piledriving noise, including effects on fish 

and wildlife, and habitat impacts. 

Impacts from operation and 

maintenance would include loss of 

marine habitat, including eelgrass. LWI 

Alternative 3 has the potential to impact 

fish and bird species protected under 

the ESA. 

Upland construction for both 

Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in 

permanent and temporary vegetation 

disturbance, but no wetland impacts 

would occur. No terrestrial animals or 

plants protected under the ESA or 

Migratory Bird Treaty Act would be 

affected; however, bald eagles foraging 

along the shoreline could be disturbed 

during construction. Project 

construction would have overall 

positive impacts on the local economy. 

Tribal access to some shellfish beds 

would be restricted during construction 

and, in the long term, a small area of 

these beds would be lost. During 

construction, vessel traffic would result 

in more openings of the Hood Canal 

Bridge, causing traffic delays on State 

Route 104 between the Olympic and 

Kitsap peninsulas. Construction impacts 

on air and water quality would be minor 

and localized. 

For the SPE, construction impacts 

would include in-water pile-driving 

noise and its effects on fish, wildlife, 

and neighboring communities; turbidity; 

and habitat impacts. Impacts from 

operation and maintenance would 

include loss and shading of marine 

habitat, but there would be minimal 

interference with the migration of 

juvenile salmon. SPE alternatives 2 and 

3 could potentially impact fish and bird 

species protected under the ESA and 

marine mammals protected under the 

ESA and the MMPA. Upland impacts 

would include both permanent and 

temporary vegetation disturbance; 

however, no wetland impacts would 

occur. No terrestrial animals or plants 

protected under the ESA would be 

affected. Bald Eagles foraging along the 

shoreline could be disturbed during 

construction. Residential areas south of 

the base would experience increased 

noise levels during project construction. 

Construction would have an overall 

positive impact on the local economy. 

During construction, vessel traffic 

would result in more openings of the 

Hood Canal Bridge, causing traffic 

delays on State Route 104 between the 

Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas. 

Construction impacts on air and water 

quality would be minor and localized. 

The Navy is consulting with NMFS in 

compliance with the MMPA permitting 

process regarding the potential 

behavioral disturbance of marine 

mammals associated with SPE 

construction. In accordance with ESA, 

the Navy is consulting with NMFS and 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on 

the potential impacts of construction 

and operation on federally listed species 

and critical habitat for both LWI and 

SPE projects. The Navy is also 

consulting with NMFS regarding 

impacts on essential fish habitat. Other 

permitting and consultation will also 

occur. 

Past, present, and other reasonably 

foreseeable future actions are expected 

to result in cumulative impacts on 

marine habitats and species in Hood 

Canal. However, through the 

implementation of proposed 

compensatory aquatic mitigation actions 

described in the Mitigation Action Plan, 

the LWI and SPE contribution to 

cumulative impacts would not be 

significant. The LWI and SPE would 

contribute to regional cumulative 

impacts on nearshore terrestrial 

habitats. Construction of the LWI and 

SPE could possibly overlap with one 

another and construction of other 

waterfront structures on Naval Base 

Kitsap Bangor, resulting in increased 

pile-driving noise impacts on marine 

and terrestrial species. During 

construction, marine vessel traffic from 

LWI and SPE projects would increase 

the frequency of openings of the Hood 

Canal Bridge, resulting in impacts to 

travelers on State Route 104 between the 

Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas. 

Additionally, noise impacts on nearby 

residential and recreational areas would 

increase slightly. Construction of 

multiple projects may also increase 

traffic impacts on base roads and delays 

at the gates entering the base, leading to 

increased traffic impacts on adjacent 

roads. The projects would also have 

cumulative economic benefits. 

The Draft EIS was distributed to 

federal, state, and local agencies, elected 

officials, and other interested 

organizations and individuals. Copies of 

the Draft EIS are available for public 

review at the following public libraries: 

1. Jefferson County Library (Port Hadlock),
