DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), 

Initiate the Public Scoping Period and 

Host Public Scoping Meetings for the 

Great Lakes and Mississippi River 

Interbasin Study (‘‘GLMRIS’’)— 

Evaluation of Aquatic Nuisance 

Species Controls Near Brandon Road 

Lock and Dam 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Chicago District, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

announces its intent to (1) prepare a 

Draft EIS, (2) accept public comments 

and (3) host public scoping meetings in 

Lemont, Illinois at Argonne National 

Laboratories and Chicago, Illinois for 

GLMRIS—Evaluation of Aquatic 

Nuisance Species Controls near 

Brandon Road Lock and Dam 

(GLMRIS—Brandon Road). 

In collaboration with other Federal, 

State, and local agencies as well as nongovernmental entities, USACE is 

evaluating structural and nonstructural 

options and technologies near the 

Brandon Road Lock and Dam site. This 

effort is an interim response to the 

GLMRIS authority. The purpose of the 

GLMRIS—Brandon Road evaluation is 

to consider a control point to reduce the 

risk of upstream transfer of ANS, from 

the Mississippi River (MR) Basin into 

the Great Lakes (GL) Basin through the 

Chicago Area Waterway System 

(CAWS), to the maximum extent 

possible. The GLMRIS—Brandon Road 

effort will seek to minimize adverse 

impacts to waterway users or resources. 

DATES: The NEPA scoping period ends 

on January 16, 2015. The GLMRIS— 

Brandon Road NEPA Public Scoping 

meetings are scheduled for December 6, 

2014 in Lemont, Illinois at Argonne 

National Laboratories, and December 9, 

2014 in Chicago, Illinois. Please refer to 

the ‘‘Scoping and Public Involvement’’ 

section below for information regarding 

the public scoping meeting and for 

instructions on how to submit public 

comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background. In January 2014, 

USACE released the GLMRIS Report, 

which evaluated the potential range of 

alternatives to control ANS transfer 

between the GL and MR basins via the 

CAWS. In GLMRIS, USACE has 

interpreted the term ‘‘prevent’’ to mean 

the reduction of risk to the maximum 

extent possible, because it may not be 

technologically feasible to achieve an 

absolute solution. 

The GLMRIS Report identified eight 

alternatives, six of which were 

structural alternatives. Three structural 

alternatives established an ANS control 

point near Brandon Road Lock and Dam 

in Joliet, Illinois. The GLMRIS Report 

identified the Brandon Road control 

point as a single location that can 

address upstream transfer of MR ANS 

through the CAWS. 

Based on evaluations presented in the 

GLMRIS Report and in response to 

stakeholder input, USACE has been 

directed by the Assistant Secretary of 

the Army (Civil Works) to proceed with 

a formal evaluation of potential ANS 

controls to be applied near the Brandon 

Road Lock and Dam, located near Joliet, 

Illinois. The GLMRIS—Brandon Road 

effort will evaluate the range of options 

or technologies available to prevent 

additional MR ANS transfer through the 

CAWS into the GL Basin. 

This effort will assess the potential of 

various ANS controls to address the 

one-way, upstream transfer of ANS 

through the approach channel and/or 

lock chamber at Brandon Road Lock and 

Dam, and seek to minimize any adverse 

impacts to waterway users or resources. 

The Brandon Road Lock and Dam 

Historic District includes the Brandon 

Road Lock and Dam and was 

retroactively listed on the National 

Register of Historic Places on March 11, 

2004. 

GLMRIS will be conducted in 

accordance with NEPA and with the 

Economic and Environmental Principles 

and Guidelines for Water and Related 

Land Resource Implementation Studies, 

Water Resources Council, March 10, 

1983. 

2. Scoping and Public Involvement. 

USACE will accept comments related to 

GLMRIS—Brandon Road until January 

16, 2014. 

All forms of comments received 

during the scoping period will be 

weighted equally. Using input obtained 

during the scoping period, USACE will 

refine the scope of GLMRIS to focus on 

significant issues, as well as eliminate 

issues that are not significant from 

further detailed study. 

Comments may be submitted in the 

following ways: 

• GLMRIS project Web site: Use the 

web comment function found at http:// 

glmris.anl.gov/. 

• NEPA Scoping Meeting: USACE is 

hosting scoping meetings and asks those 

who wish to make oral comments in 

person to register on the GLMRIS 

project Web site at http://glmris.anl 

.gov/. Each meeting’s on-line 

registration to speak will be closed at 10 

a.m. central time the day of the meeting. 

Those who do not register to speak via 

the GLMRIS Web site may register at the 

meeting. Those registering through the 

Web site may be given a preference over 

those that register to make an oral 

comment at the meeting. Each 

individual wishing to make oral 

comments shall be given three (3) 

minutes, and a stenographer will 

document oral comments;

Comments must be received by January 

16, 2014.
