Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement

Expiration date: 2/15/2014

nterested parties are hereby notified that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to prepare a draft supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) for the Middle Mississippi River Regulating Works Project. The Middle Mississippi River is defined as that portion of the Mississippi River that lies between the confluences of the Ohio and Missouri rivers. The original environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Project was finalized in 1976. USACE has determined that there is sufficient significant new information regarding the potential impacts of the project on the human environment to warrant the preparation of a SEIS. Public Scoping Open Workshops will be held to obtain comments and to receive feed-back from the public on the Draft SEIS and are identified in the Public Notice.

Mo Stream Mitigation Method

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts within the State of Missouri (Kansas City, Little Rock, Memphis, Rock Island, St. Louis) in coordination with Federal and State agencies have completed their comprehensive evaluation and modifications to the Missouri Stream Mitigation Method (MSMM). The attached public notice announces the implementation of the 2013 version of the MSMM. The MSMM will serve as the preferred method for quantifying unavoidable stream impacts associated with the review of permit applications submitted for Department of the Army permit authorization. The MSMM will also serve as a tool for determining the amount of stream credits that a proposed mitigation project will generate based on its mitigation plan prepared for Stream Mitigation Banks, Individual In-Lieu Fee Stream Project Approvals, or Permittee-Responsible Mitigation Sites within the State of Missouri.
