Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Zoar Levee 

and Diversion Dam, Dam Safety 

Modification Study, Tuscarawas 

County, OH 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

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

Huntington District will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to disclose potential impacts to the 

natural, physical, and human 

environment resulting from 

implementation of alternatives 

formulated to address reliability risks 

associated with Zoar Levee and 

Diversion Dam. These high hazard 

structures do not meet current 

performance standards and exceed 

acceptable risk levels. A full array of 

alternatives will be formulated to meet 

the purpose and need of this study. 

After full consideration of all 

alternatives, the best plan will be 

selected to achieve acceptable risk 

levels. 

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be 

held on May 24, 2011 from 7–10 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: a. Address all written 

comments and suggestions concerning 

this proposed project to Aaron O. Smith, 

CELRH–PM–PD–R, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Huntington District, 502 

Eighth Street, Huntington, WV, 25701– 

2070. Telephone: 304–399–5720. Email: zoarlevee@usace.army.mil. 

Requests to be placed on the mailing list 

should also be sent to this address. 

b. The public scoping meeting 

location is: Tuscarawas Valley High 

School, 2637 Tuscarawas Valley Road, 

NE., Zoarville, OH 44656. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Jami Buchanan, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Huntington District, 502

2070. Telephone: (304)399–5347. Email: zoarlevee@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Authority: Investigation and 

justification of modifications for dam 

safety modifications at completed Corps 

of Engineers projects is authorized 

under Section 2033 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of 2007 

(Pub. L. 110–114). 

2. Background: a. Guidance for this 

study is provided in USACE Engineer 

Regulation 1110–2–1156 that addresses 

safety of dams. 

b. Zoar Levee and Diversion Dam is 

an appurtenant structure to Dover Dam 

which is located in Tuscarawas County 

along the Tuscarawas River 

approximately 3.5 miles north of the 

communities of Dover and New 

Philadelphia. The dam was constructed 

by the Corps and completed in 1938. 

Dover Dam is a dry dam and as such 

does not hold a permanent pool. The 

Federal government maintains a 

permanent flowage easement to 

elevation 916′ above mean sea level 

(msl) upstream of the dam, which 

corresponds to the height of the 

spillway of the dam. 

c. The Zoar Levee was constructed in 

1937 with a crest elevation of 919′ above 

msl, which provided three feet of 

freeboard over the Dover Dam spillway 

crest of elevation 916′ above msl. The 

crest elevation of Zoar Levee was raised 

from elevation 919′ above msl to 

elevation 928.5′ above msl in 1951. 

There are approximately 54 properties 

(approximately 98 buildings including 

dependencies) located inside the levee 

at or below the elevation 916′ above msl. 

Water reaches the levee only when 

Dover Dam is retaining sufficient flood 

waters. 

d. Zoar Diversion Dam was also 

constructed in 1937. It is located on 

Goose Run, approximately 1,000′ 

upstream of Zoar Levee and was built to 

control interior drainage within the 

levee. The Diversion Dam acts as a 

retention structure for runoff from the 

Goose Run watershed and redirects 

flows into a ponding area controlled by 

the Zoar Levee pump station. 

e. There are three separable 

components associated with the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 86 / Wesnesday, May 4, 2011 / Notices 25311 

project—the western reach and rock 

knoll, which combine to form the full 

levee, and the diversion dam. Each of 

these components will require a 

separate ‘‘fix’’ to achieve the tolerable 

risk guidelines established in Chapter 5 

of ER 1110–2–1156, under which this 

study is being conducted. Therefore, 

structural measures are being developed 

for each component that would address 

the risk associated with that specific 

piece of the project. 

d. Additionally, as per guidance 

provided in Section 2033 of WRDA 

2007, ER 1110–2–1156 and ER 1105–2– 

100, non-structural measures are also 

being developed for the project 

including breaching the levee and/or 

diversion dam. 

f. The cultural and historical 

significance of the Village of Zoar is 

well documented. The Village of Zoar is 

unique in the State of Ohio, being the 

only physically remaining intact 

utopian community and a significant 

collection of early nineteenth century 

German folk architecture. Much of Zoar 

was documented in 1936 by the Historic 

American Building Survey (HABS). This 

study concluded that Zoar was ‘‘the 

most successful communist experiment 

ever conducted in the United States’’ 

(HABS 1936). 

g. The EIS and Dam Safety 

Modification Report will consider the 

structural integrity of the levee and 

dam, their ability to accommodate flood 

waters as well as transportation, noise, 

terrestrial, aquatic, economic, 

environmental justice and cultural 

resource issues associated with the 

performance of the levee and dam. 

3. Public Participation: a. The Corps 

of Engineers will conduct a public 

scoping meeting (see DATES and 

ADDRESSES) to gain input from 

interested agencies, organizations, and 

the general public concerning the 

content of the EIS, issues and impacts 

to be addressed in the EIS, and 

alternatives that should be analyzed. 

b. The Corps invites full public 

participation to promote open 

communication and better decisionmaking. All persons and organizations 

that have an interest in the Zoar Levee 

and Diversion Dam, Dam Safety 

Modification Study and the 

environment are urged to participate in 

this NEPA evaluation process. 

Assistance will be provided upon 

request to anyone having difficulty with 

learning how to participate. 

c. Public comments are welcomed 

anytime throughout the NEPA process. 

Formal opportunities for public 

participation include: (1) Public 

meetings to be held in or near the 

Village of Zoar; (2) Anytime during the 

NEPA process via mail, telephone or email; (3) During Review and Comment 

on the Draft EIS; and (4) Review of the 

Final EIS. Schedules and locations will 

be announced in local news media. 

Interested parties should submit contact 

information to be included on the 

mailing list for public distribution of 

meeting announcements and documents 

(See ADDRESSES). 

4. Schedule: The Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement is scheduled to be 

released for public review and comment 

in September 2012. The Final Report 

and Final EIS are scheduled to be 

completed in January 2013.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purposes of 

the Technology and Media Services for 

Individuals with Disabilities program 

are to: (1) Improve results for children 

with disabilities by promoting the 

development, demonstration, and use of 

technology; (2) support educational 

media services activities designed to be 

of educational value in the classroom 

setting to children with disabilities; and 

(3) provide support for captioning and 

video description that are appropriate 

for use in the classroom setting. 

Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.105(b)(2)(v), this priority is from 

allowable activities specified in the 

statute, or otherwise authorized in the 

statute (see sections 674(c) and 681(d) of 

the Individuals with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA)). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2011 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, this 

priority is an absolute priority. Under 

34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only 

applications that meet this priority. 

This priority is: 

Technology and Media Services for 

Individuals With Disabilities— 

Captioned and Described Educational 

Media 

Background 

Section 674(c) of the IDEA requires, in 

part, that the Secretary of Education 

support video description, open 

captioning, or closed captioning that is 

appropriate for use in the classroom 

setting, of (a) television programs; (b) 

videos; and (c) other materials, 

including programs and materials 

associated with new and emerging 

technologies. 

Recent developments in education 

policy and practice and advancements 

in technology have significant 

implications for supporting video 

description and captioning that are 

appropriate for use in the classroom 

setting. New and emerging technologies 

(such as video streaming, digital video 

recording, digital image processing, and 

other forms of multimedia) are 

becoming a more integral part of 

instructional practice and are replacing 

older, more expensive, and less 

adaptable media sources, such as 

compact discs (CDs) and digital video 

discs (DVDs). However, multimedia and 

other new and emerging technologies 

are usually not accessible to students 

who have hearing or vision impairments 

because only a small percentage of 

educational multimedia used in the 

classroom is captioned or described. For 

example, a recent survey of the top 35 

educational media producers/ 

distributors in the United States 

revealed that only slightly more than 

25 percent of educational media is 

captioned by media producers/ 

distributors and less than five percent of 

educational media is described 

(Described and Captioned Media 

Program, 2008). Federal requirements 

for captioning and video description do 

not apply to many forms of educational 

media, even with the expansion of these 

requirements included in the recentlyenacted Twenty-First Century
