BILLING CODE 5001–06–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Coos Bay Channel Modification 

Project 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Portland District intends to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential 

environmental effects of approving the 

Oregon International Port of Coos Bay’s 

(OIPCB) proposed Coos Bay Channel 

Modification Project. The OIPCB 

proposes to widen and deepen the Coos 

Bay Federal Navigation Project from the 

ocean to river mile (RM) 8.2 to improve 

navigation efficiency, reduce shipping 

transportation costs and facilitate the 

shipping industry’s transition to larger, 

more efficient vessels. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit written comments on or before 

October 3, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Portland District (PM–E), P.O. Box 2946, 

Portland, OR 97208–2946, or at the 

project Web site: http://www.nwp.usace.

army.mil/coast/coos-bay/channelmodification. All comments should 

include ‘‘Coos Bay Channel 

Modification Project EIS’’ in the subject 

line. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the proposed action 

and draft EIS can be addressed to: Dr. 

Ann Hodgson, by mail, telephone (503) 

808–4663, or by email at coosbay

channelmodEIS@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. 

Previous Withdrawn Action. The Corps 

published a Notice of Intent to prepare 

an EIS and Feasibility Study for a 

previous proposal to modify the Coos 

Bay Federal Navigation Project on 

January 11, 2008 (73 FR 2013). The 

channel modification described in 2008 

was proposed under the authority of 

Section 203 of the Water Resources 

Development Act of 1986; however, the 

proposal was withdrawn and a draft EIS 

was not prepared. 

2. Proposed Action. The OIPCB is 

requesting approval to construct the 

Coos Bay Channel Modification Project. 

If approved, the OIPCB would construct 

the project without any federal cost 

sharing (i.e., the OIPCB would pay 100 

percent of the cost of construction). The 

proposed project requires Department of 

the Army authorization under: Section 

204 of the Water Resources 

Development Act of 1986, as amended 

(33 U.S.C. 2232); Section 14 of the 

Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 

U.S.C. 408, commonly referred to as 

Section 408), Section 10 of the Rivers 

and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403); 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 

U.S.C. 1344); and Section 103 of the 

Marine Protection, Research, and 

Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended (33 

U.S.C. 1413). 

Section 204 authorizes the Secretary 

of the Army, acting through the 

Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil 

Works, to grant approval to non-federal 

entities to design and construct 

improvements to Corps navigation 

projects. This section also provides that 

the Secretary shall be responsible for the 

operation and maintenance of those 

improvements if the Secretary 

determines the improvements are 

economically justified, environmentally 

acceptable and certifies the project was 

constructed in accordance with 

applicable permits and engineering and 

design standards. 

Section 408 authorizes the Secretary 

of the Army, acting through the Chief of 

Engineers, to grant permission for the 

alteration or occupation or use of Corps 

Civil Works projects (e.g., a federal 

navigation project) if the Secretary 

determines that the activity will not be 

injurious to the public interest and will 

not impair the usefulness of the project. 

Section 10, Section 404, and Section 

103 authorizes the Secretary of the 

Army, acting through the Chief of 

Engineers, to issue permits to authorize 

work in navigable waters of the U.S., to 

authorize the discharge of dredged of fill 

material into waters of the U.S., and to 

authorize the transport of dredged 

material for the purpose of dumping it 

into ocean waters, respectively. 

The Corps, as the lead agency for 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), has 

determined the above-listed actions 

require the preparation of an EIS. The 

following state and federal agencies may 

participate as cooperating agencies for 

the preparation of the EIS: The Bureau 

of Land Management, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, National Marine 

Fisheries Service, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Federal Aviation 

Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, 

Oregon Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, Oregon Department of Land 

Conservation and Development, Oregon 

Department of Environmental Quality. 

In addition, the Confederated Tribes of 

the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw, 

Confederated Tribes of the Siletz 

Indians, and the Coquille Indian Tribe 

may participate as cooperating entities 

on the preparation of the EIS. 

3. Project Site and Background. The 

project site is in Coos Bay, located on 

the southern coast of Oregon. The Coos 

Bay Federal Navigation Project was 

originally authorized by the Rivers and 

Harbors Act of March 1879. The Coos 

Bay Federal Navigation Project includes 

two entrance jetties, the two navigation 

channels, two turning basins, and pile 

dikes. The current channel 

configuration from the ocean entrance to 

the navigation channel is ¥47 feet deep, 

the channel transitions to ¥37 feet deep 

between RM 0 to RM 1, then maintains 

¥37 feet deep from RM 1 to RM 15.0. 

The main channel has a nominal width 

of 300 feet wide from the ocean inlet to 

RM 9.2. At RM 9.2, the channel widens 

to 400 feet and continues at that width 

to RM 15.0; from RM 15.0 through RM 

17.0, the channel decreases to ¥22 feet 

deep and 150 feet wide. Advanced
