Intent To Prepare a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for a Proposed Storm Damage

Reduction and Beach Erosion Control

Project on Brigantine Island, Atlantic

County, NJ

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The action being taken is an

evaluation of the alternatives for storm

damage reduction and the control of

further erosion on Brigantine Island,

New Jersey. The purpose of any

consequent work would be to provide

shore property protection and to

stabilize the shoreline at the

predetermined width.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions regarding the DEIS should be

addressed to Ms. Beth Brandreth, (215)

656–6558, U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, CENAP–PL–E, Wanamaker

Building, 100 Penn Square East,

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107–

3390.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Action

a. The draft document evaluates a

study area approximately 7 miles in

length, extending from Brigantine Inlet

to Absecon Inlet. The study area

encompasses Brigantine Island, which

contains the City of Brigantine and the

North Brigantine State Nature Area. The

beaches along this island have been

subject to erosion by storms, tidal

inundation, and wave action. One

potential offshore sand borrow source,

located in the vicinity of Brigantine

Inlet, will be investigated in this study.

b. The authorities for the proposed

project are the resolutions adopted by

the Committee on Public Works and

Transportation of the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Committee on

Environmental and Public Works of the

U.S. Senate in December 1987.

2. Alternatives

In addition to the no action

alternative, the alternatives considered

for storm damage reduction and erosion

control will fall into structural and nonstructural categories. The structural

measures to correct the beach erosion

include bulkheads, seawalls,

revetments, offshore breakwaters,

groins, beach nourishment, perched

beach, submerged reef with beachfill,

and offshore submerged feeder berms.

Non-structural measures include flood

insurance, developmental regulations,

and evacuation.

3. Scoping

a. Numerous studies and reports

addressing beach erosion along the New

Jersey Coast were conducted by the

Corps of Engineers. The most recent

study for this area is a Reconnaissance

Report: Brigantine Inlet to Great Egg

Harbor Inlet Reconnaissance Study

(February 1992), which identified a

number of problem areas where erosion

was negatively impacting the adjacent

shorelines. This study identified

Brigantine Island as one of the primary

areas to be recommended for further

study in the feasibility phase.

b. The scoping process is on-going

and has involved preliminary

coordination with Federal, State, and

local agencies. Participation of the

general public and other interested

parties and organizations will be invited

by means of a public notice.

c. The significant issues and concerns

that have been identified include the

impacts of the project on aquatic biota,

water quality, intertidal habitat, shallow

water habitat, and cultural resources.

4. Availability

It is estimated that the DEIS will be

made available to the public in October

1997.

Chief, Planning Division.
