DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of

Intent To Prepare a Draft Supplement 

No. 2 to the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the West 

Tennessee Tributaries (WTT) General 

Reevaluation 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The draft supplement no. 2 

will be prepared in conjunction with a 

general reevaluation report (GRR) and 

will supplement the ‘‘Final Supplement 

to the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement, West Tennessee Tributaries 

Project (Obion-Forked Deer River 

Basin),’’ filed with the Environmental 

Protection Agency on February 25, 

1983. A general reevaluation study will 

be conducted for the entire WTT project 

area to determine if there is still a 

federal interest in pursuing a flood risk 

management project and, if so, 

recommend a plan of improvement. The 

GRR and draft supplement no. 2 to the 

final environmental impact statement 

(FEIS) will focus on methods that 

reduce flood risks within the Obion and 

Forked Deer watersheds by restoring 

natural floodplain functions and 

reducing sedimentation that could cause 

channel blockages. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Michael Thron, telephone (901) 544–

Room B–202, Memphis, TN 38103, email—john.m.thron@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Proposed Action: The project study 

consists of determining flood risk 

management solutions in the Obion and 

Forked Deer watersheds in west 

Tennessee. The project is authorized by 

Section 203 of the Flood Control Act of 

June 30, 1948 (Pub. L. 80–858, 62 Stat. 

1171, 1175, 1178), and amended and 

modified by Section 207 of the Rivers 

and Harbors Act of November 7, 1966 

(Pub. L. 89–789, 80 Stat. 1405), and 

further amended by Section 3 of the 

Water Resources Development Act of 

March 7, 1974 (Pub. L. 93–251, 88 Stat. 

12, 14) and Section 183 of the Water 

Resources Development Act of October 

22, 1976 (Pub. L. 94–587, 90 Stat. 2917). 

Construction began in 1961. The initial 

project environmental impact statement 

(EIS) was filed with the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) on 

February 3, 1971. The federal court 

determined in 1973 that the 1971 EIS 

prepared by the Corps did not meet 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) standards and enjoined the 

Corps from further construction on 

March 2, 1973. The Corps filed a revised 

EIS with CEQ on July 21, 1975, entitled, 

‘‘Final Environmental Impact Statement 

West Tennessee Tributaries Project;’’ 

however, the federal court in its 

decision of January 27, 1978 again 

determined that the FEIS was not 

sufficient to meet NEPA standards and 

directed that it be supplemented. A final 

supplement to the FEIS was filed with 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

on February 25, 1983 (Record of 

Decision signed August 8, 1983), 

entitled, ‘‘Final Supplement to the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement, West 

Tennessee Tributaries Project.’’ The 

final supplement to the FEIS included 

the addition of certain soil erosion 

control and timber, fish, and wildlife 

conservation features to the flood 

control plan. Construction resumed in 

1985 after the issuance of a consent 

order (Civil Action Number C–70–349) 

stating the Corps was allowed to 

proceed provided they follow a protocol 

in the acquisition of the 32,000 acres of 

mitigation lands authorized by Section 

3 of the Water Resources Development 

Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–251, 88 Stat. 12, 

14). However, in June of 1987, the State 

of Tennessee denied water quality 

certification for the next item of work 

and construction was again suspended. 

All attempts to resolve the denial were 

unproductive. By April of 1990, the 

Corps had acquired 13,527 acres of 

mitigation lands for the project. Several 

demonstration projects were pursued 

between 1992 and 2008. Most notably, 

a limited reevaluation was performed in 

1996 for a demonstration project in the 

Middle Fork Forked Deer River and a 

demonstration project in the Stokes 

Creek watershed. However, the costs of 

compliance with the consent order were 

too great to pursue the demonstration 

projects. By letter dated December 23, 

2008, the State of Tennessee requested 

that a general reevaluation study be 

conducted for the entire project area to 

determine if there is still a federal 

interest in pursuing a flood risk 

management project and, if so, 

recommend a plan of improvement. 

2. Reasonable Alternatives: A wide 

range of alternatives will be examined 

for the study. Alternatives will focus on 

methods that control sediment entering 

the Obion and Forked Deer watersheds, 

restore natural floodplain functions, and 

comply with the consent order while 

achieving the authorized project 

purpose of flood risk management. 

Comparisons will be made among the 

alternative plans, including the ‘‘no 

action’’ alternative. 

3. The Scoping Process: The purpose 

of this notice is to advise all interested 

parties of the intent to supplement the 

‘‘Final Supplement to the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement, West 

Tennessee Tributaries Project (ObionForked Deer River Basin)’’ and to solicit 

comments and information concerning 

the study. A public involvement 

program has been initiated and will be 

maintained throughout the study to 

solicit input from individuals and 

interested parties and to identify any 

concerns or significant issues related to 

the project. This notice is being 

circulated to federal, state, and local 

environmental resource and regulatory 

agencies; Indian Tribes; nongovernmental organizations; and the 

general public. All interested parties are 

encouraged to participate in the scoping 

process. A public scoping meeting will 

be held on June 23, 2009, 7 p.m., at the 

Temple Baptist Church, 9105 East Van 

Hook, Milan, Tennessee. It is 

anticipated that the draft supplement 

no. 2 to the FEIS will be available for 

public review during the fall of 2014. A 

public meeting will be held during the 

review period to receive comments and 

address questions concerning the draft 

report.
