Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed Coos Bay-North Bend

Water Supply Project, Coos County,

Oregon

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Portland District, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The proposed action is the

issuance of a Department of the Army

permit under Section 404 of the Clean

Water Act of 1977, as amended, and

Section 9 of the River and Harbor Act

of 1899 for the construction of a dam

and reservoir on Joe Ney Creek, and

raising of an existing dam on Upper

Pony Creek. Both projects would be

located in Coos County, Oregon, The

Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board is the

permit applicant, and is proposing this

action for the purpose of increasing the

municipal and industrial water supply

for its service area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coos

Bay-North Bend Water Board, Coos

County, Oregon has applied to the

Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers for a Department of the Army

Permit under section 404 of the Clean

Water Act of 1977, as amended, and

Section 9 of the River and Harbor Act

of 1899. The proposed action is to

construct a new dam and reservoir on

Joe Ney Creek, and raise an existing dam

on Upper Pony Creek to increase the

storage capacity of the reservoir. The

purpose of the proposed action is to

increase municipal and industrial water

supply storage for the area serviced by

the Water Board.

Pony Creek

The existing Upper Pony Creek

Reservoir was created by a dam across

Pony Creek near the headwaters at

approximately River Mile (RM) 4.5). The

dam was constructed in 1951 to provide

water storage for the Water Board’s

service area. The proposed expansion

would involve raising the existing 45-

foot earthfill dam by 21.5 feet, to

increase reservoir storage capacity from

the existing 2,150 acre-feet to 6,250

acre-feet.

Joe Ney Creek

The existing reservoir on Joe Ney

Creek was created by a 9-foot=high

earthen dam constructed in 1947 at RM

1.5. The Water board proposes to build

a larger dam approximately 800 feet

upstream of the existing dam. the new

dam, which would be built to an

evaluation of 39 feet, would provide

storage for 2,500 acre-feet.

Operations

Both reservoirs would be operated by

the Water board for municipal and

industrial water supply. Water would be

pumped from Joe Ney Reservoir through
16458 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 61 / Thursday, March 30, 1995 / Notices

a pipeline across the ridge to the Pony

Creek basin, discharging into a natural

channel flowing into Upper Pony Creek

Reservoir. As needed, water stored in

Upper Pony Creek Reservoir would be

released into lower Pony Creek where it

is withdrawn and treated at the water

treatment plant.

The alternatives to be considered in

the DEIS area:

—the proposed project

—development of other water supplies

to meet the project objectives

—no action.

The scoping process will commence

in March 1995 with the issuance of a

scoping letter. Federal, state and local

agencies, Indian tribes, and interested

organizations and individuals will be

asked to comment on the significant

issues relating to the potential effects of

the alternatives. Potentially significant

issues to be addressed in the DEIS

include: effects of the project on

wetlands, wildlife habitat and

populations, and fisheries.

A formal scoping meeting has not

been scheduled. The applicant has

scheduled a public meeting to be held

at 7:00 pm, on April 5, 1995, at the

North Bend Public Library, North Bend,

Oregon. the purpose of the public

meeting is to provide more information

on the project and the scope of studies

to be accomplished for this DEIS, to

assist interested parties in developing

their scoping comments.

The DEIS is scheduled to be made

available to the public in late 1995.

Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Proposed Surface Coal

Mining Operation in Saline County,

Illinois

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Louisville District, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The proposed project

involves the surface mining of coal from

1,537 acres of a 1,935 acre site located

1 to 3 miles west of Harrisburg in Saline

County, Illinois. The proposed surface

mine includes approximately 400 acres

of jurisdictional wetlands. The major

impacts would be the permanent

relocation of Bankston Fork,

construction of a haul road to the coal

extraction areas using a bridge over

Bankston Fork, construction of 12,500

feet of levee along Bankston Fork to

provide temporary flood protection for

the mining site, and surface mining coal

from 1,537 acres.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, Louisville District, P.O. Box

59, Louisville, Kentucky 40201–0059.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Michael Turner, (502) 582–6015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

wetland areas to be impacted consist of

approximately 200 acres of palustrine

forested wetlands with the remainder

being open water, scrub/shrub, and

emergent wetlands. The relocation of

Bankston Fork would be accomplished

by excavating 291,000 cubic yards of

material. This material would be

utilized in constructing a temporary

flood control levee. The new stream

channel would be 7,450 feet long, 450

feet longer than the existing stream

channel. After relocating the stream and

construction of a bridge, mining would

consist of removing the overburden in

150 to 200 foot wide open pits of

varying lengths using a large dragline.

Mining would progress through the area

protected by the levee over a period of

7 years commencing in 1996.

Proposed mitigation for the loss of

wetlands will consist of the creation of

nearly 700 acres of wetlands on-site and

the restoration of same on another 200+

acres both on- and off-site. Open water,

forested, scrub/shrub, and emergent

wetlands are planned.

The Corps of Engineers will initiate a

scoping process for the purpose of

determining the range of issues to be

addressed in the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS). A public

scoping meeting is scheduled for

Wednesday, April 26, 1995, beginning

at 7:00 p.m., in the Pruett-Patton

Building which is located on Church

Street next to and behind the MitchellCarnegie Public Library in Harrisburg,

Illinois.

A brief presentation will precede the

request for public comment. Corps

representatives will be available at this

meeting to receive comments from the

public regarding issues which should be

addressed in the preparation of the

DEIS. It is important that Federal, state,

and local agencies and interested

individuals take this opportunity to

identify environmental concerns. In the

interest of available time, each speaker

will be asked to limit their oral

comments to ten minutes.

Agencies and the public are also

invited and encouraged to provide

written comments in addition to, or in

lieu of, oral comments at the public

meeting. To be most helpful, scoping

comments should clearly describe

specific issues or topics which the

individual or agency believes the DEIS

should address. Written statements

should be mailed to the above address

not later than May 8, 1995.
