USACE: Deep Draft Environmental Assessment released March 3, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The Army Corps of Engineers’ Wilmington District has published its final environmental review required for the elimination of the environmental window for dredging the harbors at the state’s two seaports.
The District last week released the final Deep Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) describing the actions to eliminate the historic hopper dredging window (1 December – 15 April) and to add the bed leveling technique for maintenance of the outer portions of the Wilmington and Morehead City Harbors.
“The draft Environmental Assessment was circulated to Federal and State agencies and the public on August 19, 2020. The FONSI discusses and responds to comments received during the 45-day review of that draft,” said USACE.
