National Environmental Policy Act; 

Wallops Flight Facility Shoreline 

Restoration and Infrastructure 

Protection Program 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Final Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (PEIS) for the Wallops 

Flight Facility (WFF) Shoreline 

Restoration and Infrastructure 

Protection Program (SRIPP). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act, as amended, 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for Implementing the 

Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

Parts 1500–1508), and NASA’s NEPA 

policy and procedures (14 CFR Part 

1216, subpart 1216.3), NASA has 

prepared and issued the Final PEIS for 

the proposed SRIPP at WFF. The U.S. 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of 

Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, 

and Enforcement (BOEMRE), and the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have 

served as Cooperating Agencies in 

preparing the Final PEIS. 

NASA is proposing to implement a 

fifty-year design-life storm damage 

reduction project at its WFF on Wallops 

Island, Virginia. WFF is continuously 

faced with storm damage resulting in 

the implementation of emergency 

repairs. The project would be conducted 

to reduce the need for these emergency 

repairs and the potential for storminduced physical damage to the over $1 

billion in Federal and State assets on 

Wallops Island. The Final PEIS 

examines in detail three project action 

alternatives, each expected to provide 

substantial damage reduction from 

storms with intensities ranging up to 

approximately the 100-year return 

interval storm. Although some 

reduction in flooding can be expected 

under each alternative, the primary 

purpose of the proposal is not flood 

protection, rather it is moving 

destructive wave energy further away 

from the Wallops Island shoreline and 

the infrastructure behind it. 

Alternative One, NASA’s preferred 

alternative, would include extending 

the existing Wallops Island seawall up 

to a maximum of 1,400 meters (m) 

(4,600 feet [ft]) south and placing an 

estimated 2.5 million cubic meters 

(MCM) (3.2 million cubic yards [MCY]) 

along the shoreline. Alternative Two 

would include the same seawall 

extension as Alternative One; however 

the sand placed along the shoreline 

would be less at approximately 2.2 

MCM (2.9 MCY). Under this alternative, 

NASA would also construct a groin 

perpendicular to the shoreline at the 

south end of the project site to limit the 

volume of nearshore sand being 

transported from the restored Wallops 

Island beach to the south. Alternative 

Three would entail the same seawall 

extension as in Alternatives One and 

Two; however sand placement would be 

the least of the Alternatives at 

approximately 2.1 MCM (2.8 MCY). 

NASA would construct a single 

detached breakwater parallel to the 

shoreline at the south end of the project 

site to retain sand under Alternative 

Three. Under all three project 

alternatives, NASA would obtain the 

sand required for its initial beach 

nourishment from an unnamed shoal 

(referred to as Shoal A) located in 

Federal waters approximately 23 

kilometers (km) (14 miles [mi]) east of 

Wallops Island. Sand for an expected 

nine future renourishment cycles could 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Notices 66801 

come from either Shoal A or a second 

offshore shoal in Federal waters referred 

to as Shoal B, approximately 31 km (19 

mi) east of the project site. Additionally, 

NASA is considering transporting sand 

that accumulates on north Wallops 

Island to supplement its future 

renourishment needs (commonly known 

as ‘‘backpassing’’). It is estimated that up 

to half of the required renourishment 

volumes could be obtained from 

‘‘backpassing.’’ The No Action 

Alternative is to not implement the WFF 

SRIPP, but to continue making 

emergency repairs to the existing 

Wallops Island seawall and 

infrastructure, as necessary. 

DATES: NASA will issue a Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the proposed SRIPP 

based on the Final PEIS no sooner than 

30 days from the date of publication in 

the Federal Register of the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

Notice of Availability of the Final PEIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

PEIS addresses the environmental 

impacts associated with NASA’s 

proposed implementation of a 50-year 

design-life storm damage reduction 

program along the shoreline of Wallops 

Island. The environmental impacts of 

principal concern are those that could 

result from dredging sand from offshore 

shoals, removing sand from north 

Wallops Island, and from the 

construction of a sand retention 

structure at the south end of the project 

site. 

The three action alternatives 

considered in the Final PEIS would all 

provide the facilities on Wallops Island 

equal levels of storm damage reduction 

for the duration of the program. Each 

alternative would involve the 

establishment of an approximately 34 m 

(110 ft) wide dry beach along 

approximately 6,000 m (19,700 ft) of the 

Wallops Island shoreline to serve as a 

primary line of defense from destructive 

storm waves. In addition to the beach, 

a sand dune would be created to cover 

the ocean side of the existing and 

proposed seawall. The remaining 

portion of the fill would be placed 

underwater and would gradually slope 

to the east. It is expected that the fill 

alone would provide considerable 

damage reduction from a 30-year return 

interval storm. With the fill combined 

with the rock seawall, the project would 

provide substantial infrastructure 

damage reduction from up to an 

approximately 100-year return interval 

storm. A rock sand retention structure (a 

groin or breakwater) is included under 

Alternatives Two and Three, 

respectively, to slow the transport of 

sand from the project site and 

potentially reduce the amount of beach 

fill needed both initially and throughout 

the lifecycle of the project. 

All three alternatives would involve 

an initial construction phase and future 

follow-on maintenance cycles. The 

initial construction phase would likely 

include three distinct elements 

spanning three fiscal years: 

Year 1 Activities—The existing rock 

seawall would be extended 

approximately 400 m (1,315 ft) south. 

Additional lengthening (up to the 1,400 

m [4,600 ft] total length) would be 

accomplished in future years as funding 

becomes available. 

Year 2 Activities—Approximately one 

third of the sand necessary for beach 

nourishment would be placed along the 

Wallops Island shoreline. Work would 

likely begin at the south end of the 

project site and would gradually move 

north. Sand placement would involve 

removing sand from Shoal A by hopper 

dredges and pumping the material onto 

the beach. 

Year 3 Activities—The remaining 

sand needed to complete the beach 

nourishment would be placed along the 

Wallops Island shoreline. Additionally, 

under Alternatives Two and Three, the 

sand retention structure would be 

constructed. 

Subsequent beach renourishment 

cycles would vary throughout the 

lifecycle of the proposed project. Factors 

dictating the frequency and magnitude 

of such actions would include project 

performance as revealed through 

ongoing monitoring, storm severity and 

frequency, and availability of funding. 

For each of the action alternatives 

considered in the PEIS, the 

renourishment cycle is anticipated to be 

every five years, totaling nine cycles 

over the fifty year design life of the 

project. 

In addition to the construction 

activities outlined for each of the three 

action alternatives, NASA would 

implement a rigorous monitoring 

program that would begin with 

construction in Year 1 and continue 

throughout the project. The intent of the 

monitoring program is to measure the 

performance of the project, and through 

adaptive management, make informed 

decisions regarding the need for 

renourishment, sand retention 

structures, and future storm damage 

reduction measures. 

Despite the programmatic nature of 

the PEIS, NASA included detailed 

information on the three action 

alternatives that it is considering for the 

SRIPP. Given the severity of shoreline 

erosion at Wallops Island and WFF’s 

vulnerability to storms, it is imperative 

that a storm damage reduction project 

be implemented as soon as possible. As 

a result, this PEIS includes such detail 

as structure dimensions and locations so 

that the selected alternative could be 

implemented and permitted without the 

need for additional NEPA 

documentation. In addition to structure 

dimensions and locations, this 

information includes beach fill volumes, 

dredging locations, and dredging 

operations. Proposed sand retention 

structures have been modeled and 

potential impacts evaluated at specific 

locations within the project area based 

on current conditions at Wallops Island. 

Utilizing an adaptive management 

approach, NASA would evaluate future 

actions that may include variations of 

the alternatives evaluated in the PEIS.

Given the dynamic nature of the ocean 

environment, and that exact locations 

and magnitude of renourishment cycles 

may fluctuate, additional NEPA 

documentation for subsequent actions 

may be prepared in the future, as 

appropriate. 

NASA published a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) of the Draft SRIPP 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement on February 26, 2010 (75 FR 

8997). NASA mailed over 125 hard 

copies and/or compact disks (CDs) of 

the Draft PEIS to potentially interested 

Federal, State, and local agencies; 

organizations; and individuals. In 

addition, the Draft PEIS was made 

publicly available in electronic format 

on NASA’s Web site. The public review 

and comment period for the Draft PEIS 

closed on April 19, 2010. NASA 

received a total of 12 submissions 

(letters and e-mails) from Federal, State, 

and local agencies; organizations; 

individuals; and its Independent 

Technical Review team. The resulting 

315 individual comments received 

spanned a broad range of topics; 

however the majority of commentors 

expressed concern regarding effects of 

the project on wildlife, fisheries, and 

sediment transport. The comments are 

addressed in the Final PEIS in 

Appendix N. NASA also formally 

consulted with resource agencies 

regarding potential effects of the 

program on Federally threatened and 

endangered species, Essential Fish 

Habitat, cultural and historic resources, 

and coastal resources. The outcomes of 

these consultations are summarized in 

the Final PEIS and are also included as 

appendices.
