Availability of the Draft Integrated City

Management Feasibility Study Report/ 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Norfolk, VA 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and public 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District, in 

cooperation with our non-federal 

sponsor, the City of Norfolk, announce 

the availability of a Draft Integrated 

Feasibility Report and Environmental 

Impact Statement (Draft IFR/EIS) for the 

City of Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk 

Management Feasibility Study, for 

review and comment. The study 

evaluates identified flood risks and 

develops and evaluates coastal storm 

risk management measures for the City 

of Norfolk. These measures were 

formulated to reduce flood risk to 

residents, industries and businesses 

which are critical to the Nation’s 

economy in ways that support the longterm resilience due to sea level rise, 

local subsidence and storms, within the 

City of Norfolk. Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, the USACE 

determined that the project has the 

potential to have significant 

environmental impacts, and developed 

the draft EIS to examine and assess the 

impacts of all proposed action. 

DATES: The Draft IFR/EIS is available for 

a 45-day review period, pursuant to the 

NEPA. Written comments pursuant will 

be accepted until the close of public 

review on the close of business on 

December 29, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Questions or comments 

concerning the Draft IFR/EIS may be 

directed to: Ms. Kathy Perdue, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk 

District, 803 Front Street, Norfolk, VA 

23510 or NorfolkCSRM@usace.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Kathy Perdue, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Norfolk District phone 

number (757) 201–7218, or 

NorfolkCSRM@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

the public involvement process, notice 

is hereby given by the USACE, Norfolk 

District, of a public review meeting that 

will be held on November 16, 2017, 

from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., at the Attucks 

Theater located at 1010 Church Street, 

Norfolk, VA 23510. The public meeting 

will allow participants the opportunity 

to comment and ask questions on the 

Draft IFR/EIS. Attendance at the public 

meeting is not necessary to provide 

comments. Written comments may also 

be given to the contact listed under 

ADDRESSES. 

The document is available for review 

at the following locations: 

(1) The Norfolk Coastal Storm Risk 

Management Study Web site: http://

www.nao.usace.army.mil/NCSRM. 

(2) Copies at all City of Norfolk, 

Virginia Public Libraries. 

Proposed Action. The Study Area is 

the City of Norfolk. The Proposed 

Action will include construction of the 

following measures within the City: 

Storm surge barriers with gate openings 

near the mouths of four waterways: The 

Lafayette River, Pretty Lake, The Hague, 

and Broad Creek; floodwalls flanking 

the barriers and near waterways at 

locations from Lamberts Point to Broad 

Creek; berms; tide gates at various 

points to prevent storm surge; generator 

buildings and pumps; nonstructural 

measures and ringwall components to 

protect existing structures; and Natural 

and Nature-Based features. 

Implementation of the Proposed Action 

would impact floodplains, wetlands, 

mudflats, federally listed threatened or 

endangered species, and marine 

mammals, and other resources. The 

Proposed Action must be located in a 

floodplain in order to reduce flood risk 

behind the flood protection system. The 

Proposed Action will adhere to the 8- 

step process as outlined under 

Executive Order 11988, Floodplain 

Management, including consideration of 

sea level rise. 

Alternatives. The Draft IFR/EIS 

considers a full range of nonstructural 

and structural flood risk management 

alternatives that meet the Proposed 

Action’s purpose and need and 

incorporate measures to avoid and 

minimize impacts to the maximum 

extent practicable. Alternatives 

included: (1) The No Build/Future 

Without Project Alternative, (2) a 

Structural Only Project Alternative, (3) 

a Nonstructural Only Project 

Alternative, and (4) a dual Structural 

and Nonstructural Project Alternative, 

which is the Preferred Alternative/ 

Proposed Action. 

Public Involvement. A Notice of Intent 

to prepare an EIS was published on 

April 29, 2016, in the Federal Register 

(81 FR 25656). A public scoping 

meeting was held on May 25, 2016, and 

a follow-up public meeting was held on 

June 8, 2017, both in the City of Norfolk. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency serves as a cooperating agency 

for this project.
