placement sites, measures to reduce the 

need to dredge and avoidance, 

minimization, and mitigation measures 

as needed. As the non-federal sponsors 

of the Plan, the Sponsor Ports are 

required to obtain permits for the 

dredged material placement sites. To 

satisfy the requirements of NEPA and 

SEPA, the Corps and Sponsor Ports will 

be jointly preparing an integrated EIS 

for the Plan. 

Alternatives. The Plan will be 

developed in accordance with Corps 

policy to accomplish channel 

maintenance, including dredged 

material placement, in the least costly 

manner that is consistent with sound 

engineering practice and meets all 

federal environmental laws. In addition 

to the No Action Alternative, in which 

case existing channel maintenance 

practices will continue in the absence of 

the Plan, dredged material management 

alternatives to be considered include: 

Management of existing sites to extend 

or expand capacity; various 

combinations of new sites involving 

different placement methods, locations 

and periods of use; measures to reduce 

dredging requirements, including 

hydraulic control works and changes to 

maintenance dimensions. Potential 

beneficial uses of dredged material 

(such as fish and wildlife habitat 

creation and ecosystem restoration) will 

be assessed. Additional alternatives 

could be developed during the scoping 

and evaluation process. 

Scoping Process/Public Involvement. 

The Corps and Sponsor Ports invite all 

affected federal, state, and local 

agencies, affected Native American 

Tribes, and other interested parties to 

participate in the NEPA and SEPA 

process during development of the Plan 

and EIS. The purpose of the public 

scoping process is to provide 

information to the public, narrow the 

scope of analysis to significant 

environmental issues, and serve as a 

mechanism to solicit agency and public 

input on alternatives and issues of 

concern, and ensure full and open 

participation in scoping of the Draft EIS. 

A series of public scoping meetings is 

scheduled for October 2017. The 

specific dates, times, and locations of 

the meetings are provided below. 

Public Scoping Meetings: 

• Monday, October 2, 2017, 4:00 p.m. 

to 7:00 p.m., Cowlitz County Event

Route 4, Puget Island, Cathlamet, 

Washington. 

Upon completion of the scoping 

process, the Draft Plan/Draft EIS will be 

developed. The DEIS will then be 

circulated for public review and 

comment. The Corps and Sponsor Ports 

expect to release the Draft EIS for public 

review and comment in 2018. The Corps 

will issue a Notice of Availability in the 

Federal Register announcing the release 

of the Draft EIS for public comment. The 

Sponsor Ports will publish a Notice of 

Availability of the Draft EIS for public 

comment in accordance with SEPA 

regulations. Documents and other 

important information related to the 

Plan/EIS will be available for review on 

the Corps’ project Web site.
