ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) Seattle District has 

prepared a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to examine the 

incremental environmental risk, 

principally from vessel traffic, related to 

operation of the previously authorized 

and constructed North Wing of the BP 

Cherry Point dock. Incremental 

environmental risk is defined in this EIS 

as the change in environmental risk 

between operating the BP Cherry Point 

dock at maximum capacity with a single 

berth (the South Wing) and operating 

the dock with two berths (the North 

Wing and South Wing) at projected 

future vessel traffic levels. The Proposed 

Action is continuing the existing 

operations at the BP Cherry Point Dock 

with two berths, one principally for 

import of crude oil and the other for 

distribution of refined petroleum 

products. 

The Corps has been directed by Ninth 

Circuit Court of Appeals to complete an 

EIS on the impacts of the permitted 

dock. 

The Draft EIS was prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, the Corps’

parts 230 and 325, Appendices B and 

C). The Corps, Seattle District, 

Regulatory Branch is the federal lead 

agency and the U.S. Coast Guard, as a 

cooperating agency. Information 

contained in the EIS serves as the basis 

for a decision regarding evaluation 

process of the existing permit under 

Section 10 of Rivers and Harbors Act for 

the BP Cherry Point dock. It also 

provides information for U.S. Coast 

Guard, other Federal, state, and local
