DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement/Subsequent Environmental 

Impact Report for the Sacramento 

River Deep Water Ship Channel 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) and the Port of West 

Sacramento (Port) propose to reinitiate 

the previously authorized deepening 

from ¥30 feet mean lower low water 

(MLLW) to ¥35 feet MLLW and 

selective widening of the Sacramento 

River Deep Water Ship Channel 

(SRDWSC). This project was partially 

completed in 1990, but was suspended 

due to lack of funding. The USACE is 

the lead agency for this project under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). The Port is the lead agency for 

this project under the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 

DATES: Submit comments by: April 11, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments about the 

SRDWSC Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement/Subsequent 

Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/ 

SEIR) can be addressed to: Bill Brostoff, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San 

Francisco District, 1455 Market Street, 

15th Floor, ET–PA, San Francisco, CA 

94103; spnetpa@usace.army.mil; 415– 

503–6867. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill 

Brostoff or Fari Tabatabai, U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, San Francisco 

District, 1455 Market Street, 15th Floor, 

ET–PA, San Francisco, CA 94103; 

spnetpa@usace.army.mil; 415–503– 

6867 or 415–503–6860. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

SRDWSC was originally constructed in 

1963 to a depth of 30 feet. In 1969, 

Congress authorized studying deepening 

the channel from ¥30 to ¥35 feet 

MLLW. In support of this effort, USACE 

completed the Sacramento River Deep 

Water Ship Channel, California: 

Feasibility Report and Environmental 

Impact Statement for Navigation and 

Related Purposes in 1980, and a General 

Design Memorandum and Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement in 1986. River miles (RMs) 

35.0 to 43.4 of the SRDWSC were 

deepened to ¥35 feet MLLW in 1989; 

however, work was suspended in 1990 

due to funding constraints and nowresolved issues pertaining to utility 

relocations. 

The purpose of the Channel 

Deepening to ¥35 Feet MLLW and 

Selective Widening Alternative 

(Proposed Project) is to resume 

deepening of the SRDWSC to its 

congressionally authorized depth to 

realize increased economic benefits 

associated with a reduced transportation 

cost of moving goods to the Port, and 

provide safe navigation for commercial 

marine traffic. Currently, vessels 

traveling to the Port laden with some 

commodity types must ‘‘light-load’’ 

(travel less than fully loaded with the 

desired amount of cargo) to navigate the 

SRDWSC with sufficient under-keel 

clearance. In addition, the existing 

widths of sections of the SRDWSC can 

make navigating to the Port difficult, 

particularly in inclement weather. The 

Proposed Project, therefore, involves 

both deepening the SRDWSC to a depth 

of 35 feet from RMs 0.0 to 35.0 and 

widening in selective areas within that 

stretch of channel, thus completing the 

construction suspended in 1990. It also 

includes maintenance dredging from 

RMs 35.0 to 43.4 to return that 

previously constructed portion of the 

channel to its 35-foot depth. The total 

volume of dredged material is estimated 

to be approximately 10 million cubic 

yards (cy) including a 2-foot overdepth. 

An extensive search was conducted of 

beneficial use opportunities in 

California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin 

River Delta identifying a wide array of 

potential placement sites. The Proposed 

Project involves ten upland dredged 

material placement sites selected to 

either permanently accommodate or 

temporarily stockpile dredged material 

for later beneficial use. 

Alternatives involving dredging and 

non-dredging were considered. Nondredging alternatives included 

intermodal transportation (i.e., using 

rail or truck), use of Lighter Aboard 

Ship (LASH; i.e., transferring material to 

barges), and constructing locks. These 

alternatives were eliminated from 

detailed analysis because their costs 

were too high (intermodal, locks) or 

facilities were not available (LASH). 

The SRDWSC SEIS/SEIR analyzes the 

following three alternatives: (1) Future 

without Project Conditions (or the No 

Action/No Project Alternative); (2) 

Channel Deepening to ¥35 Feet MLLW 

and Selective Widening Alternative 

(Proposed Project); and (3) Channel 

Deepening to ¥33 Feet MLLW and 

Selective Widening Alternative (¥33 

Feet MLLW Alternative). Future without 

Project Conditions consists of a 

continuation of present shipping and 

channel maintenance practices and 

estimated physical, biological, and 

human environmental conditions likely 

to be present over the next 50 years with 

no improvements to the SRDWSC other 

than normal channel maintenance. The 

¥33 Feet MLLW Alternative would 

result in total dredged material volume 

of 5.2 million cy with a 2-foot 

overdepth. 

A public meeting will be held on 

Monday, March 21, 2011, from 5 to 7 

p.m. at the West Sacramento City Hall, 

1110 West Capitol Avenue, West 

Sacramento, CA 95691. The SRDWSC 

SEIS/SEIR is available for review at 

http://www.sacramentoshipchannel.org.
