AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Philadelphia District, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of Public Meeting.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, Philadelphia District will

hold a public meeting on Tuesday July

9, 1996 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the

Bohemia Manor High School on Route

213 in Chesapeake City, Maryland. The

meeting is being held to discuss the

recently completed draft feasibility

report titled: Chesapeake and Delaware

Canal-Baltimore Harbor Connecting

Channels (Deepening) Delaware and

Maryland, Draft Feasibility Report and

Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

The report evaluates the present

authorized dimensions and operations

of the canal and bay channels, and

considers the need to better

accommodate current and future

shipping traffic. The report was

submitted on May 10, 1996 for a formal

public review that will last until June

24, 1996.The feasibility study is being

cost-shared by the Federal government

and the Maryland Department of

Transportation-Maryland Port

Administration, the non-Federal project

sponsor.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Frank Master, Wanamaker Building,

100 Penn Square East, Philadelphia, PA.

19107–3390, (215) 656–6590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal

of the study is to determine an

appropriate plan for the efficient use

and development of the Chesapeake and

Delaware Canal and Bay System. The

study considered structural and nonstructural measures that could be

implemented to increase the efficiency

of the navigation channel, and dredged

material disposal capacity requirements

for a 50 year study period. Alternatives

were evaluated with regard to potential

impacts to the natural and social

environments.

Based on economic and

environmental analyses, the selected

plan consists of a navigation project for

the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and

the Baltimore Harbor Connecting

Channels. The plan provides for a full

width channel (450 and 600 feet) with

a 40-foot mean low water (MLW) depth

and an allowable overdepth of 1 foot,
29082 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 111 / Friday, June 7, 1996 / Notices

the enlargement of the Reedy Point

flare, bend widening at Sandy Point,

and construction of an emergency

anchorage at Howell Point. The plan

also includes aids to navigation and

lands, easements, rights-of-way, and

disposal areas as required for the initial

construction and maintenance of the

project. Dredged material quantities for

the project are approximately 18.0

million cubic yards.

The selected dredged material

disposal plan includes the use of several

existing upland disposal sites and one

open water site for initial construction.

Dredged material (4,244,200 cubic

yards) from Reach 1 would be placed in

the existing upland dredged material

disposal areas located on the C&D

Canal: Biddles Point, Goose Point, St.

Georges, and Summit East. Dredged

material from Reach 2 (1,679,700 cubic

yards) will be placed in the existing

Bethel upland disposal area. In Reach 3,

2,283,100 cubic yards of dredged

material will be placed in the existing

upland disposal sites Pearce Creek and

Courthouse Point. In Reach 4, 2,158,600

cubic yards of dredged material will be

placed in a proposed overboard location

immediately east of the existing G-West

site near Pooles Island in the upper bay,

referred to as G-East. Dredged material

from Reach 5 (4,264,100 cubic yards)

and Reach 6 (3,329,100 cubic yards) will

be placed in the existing Hart-Miller

Island containment area located near

Baltimore Harbor.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, a

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) has been prepared for this project

and has been circulated to the

appropriate state and federal agencies;

local, state, and federal officials; and

private organizations. The public and all

agencies are invited to comment on this

proposal. Copies of the Draft Feasibility

Report and Draft Environmental Impact

Statement are available for public

review at the Philadelphia District

Office.

Impacts to water quality have been

evaluated in accordance with the

Section 404(b)(1) guidelines of the Clean

Water Act, and are not adverse. In

accordance with Section 401 of the

Clean Water Act, Water Quality

Certification has been requested from

the Maryland Department of the

Environment and the Delaware

Department of Natural Resources and

Environmental Control.

In accordance with Section 307(c) of

the Coastal Zone Management Act of

1972, an activity affecting land or water

uses in a state’s coastal zone must

comply with the state’s Coastal Zone

Management Program. A certification of

compliance has been requested from

both the Maryland Department of the

Environment and the Delaware

Department of Natural Resources and

Environmental Control.

It has been determined that the

proposed work would not have a

significant adverse impact on listed

species or their critical habitat, pursuant

to Section 7 of the Endangered Species

Act, as amended. Updated consultation

with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

and the National Marine Fisheries

Service would occur prior to project

implementation to insure compliance

with Section 7 of the Endangered

Species Act.

Review of the National Register of

Historic Places indicates that no

registered properties, or properties

listed as eligible for inclusion, would be

impacted.

All practicable means to avoid or

minimize adverse environmental effects

have been incorporated into the

recommended plan.
