Corps of Engineers

Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement

(DSEIS) for Harbor Improvements at St.

Paul, AK

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The proposed action includes

deepening and widening the Federal

entrance channel and maneuvering

channels in St. Paul Harbor, St. Paul

Island, Alaska and reducing damage

caused by storm waves overtopping the

existing breakwater. Dredging and

dredged material disposal alternatives

will be addressed with respect to fish

and wildlife resources and social and

cultural aspects. Breakwater

overtopping prevention alternatives

include submerged reef breakwater,

construction of a breakwater toe, and

placement of additional larger stones.

Potential impacts associated with the

proposed action include impacts to Salt

Lagoon, impacts on least auklet nesting

habitat, and water quality degradation to

Salt Lagoon and Village Cove. The rock

quarry for the breakwater overtopping

alternatives will not be specified.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about the proposed action

and DSEIS can be answered by: Mr. Guy

McConnell, Chief, Environmental

Resources Section, Alaska District Corps

of Engineers, P.O. Box 898, Anchorage,

Alaska 99506–0898, or phone (907)

753–2641.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

previous draft and final Environmental

Impact Statement was written for this

project in 1982. The Record of Decision

was signed in 1983. The project was not

built until 1989. Several environmental

assessments were prepared and

distributed for public review assessing

changes in the original project design.

The harbor was designed to support a

fishing fleet one-third the size of the

current operating fleet, and it also lacks

moorage for smaller boats. The harbor

was not intended to have any floating or

shore-based processing plants. The

project design was 100 feet with a 12-

foot unladen draft. The harbor currently

serves a fleet of 230 transient vessels

during the crabbing season, with three

onshore processors and up to 27 floating

processors in the immediate area of the

harbor (within 3 miles). The design

vessel for the proposed project is 350

feet long with a 23-foot draft. The

present entrance channel and

maneuvering channels are not adequate

to safety accommodate these vessels.

The DSEIS will analyze the new

harbor and breakwater alternatives, and

other alternatives that may surface

during the scoping process. Much of the

information contained in the previous

EIS and EAs will be incorporated by

reference. The final EIS will be made

available. Scoping of the EIS will

include coordination with the interested

local, State, and Federal agencies, the

local public, native concerns, and other

interested parties. Scoping meetings are

planned for Anchorage and St. Paul

Island.

Anticipated subjects to be addressed

include, but are not limited to: water

quality, Salt Lagoon, alcid nesting

habitat, tideland fills, wetlands, rock

quarry issues, and measures to

minimize adverse impacts.

The expected completion date of the

DSEIS is spring 1996.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.

of burden accurate, (4) how might the

Department enhance the quality, utility,
