  • Finding of No Significant Impact, Shore Nourishment at Wisconsin Point, City of Superior, Douglas County, Wisconsin

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District, has signed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed shore nourishment at Wisconsin Point, City of Superior, Douglas County, Wisconsin. The project would deliver suitable sandy material from maintenance dredging of the Duluth-Superior Harbor Federal Navigation Project to an eroding shoreline along Wisconsin Point and includes a pipeline through Allouez Bay. The Preliminary FONSI, Environmental Assessment, and Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Evaluation completed public review in March of 2024.

  • Review Plan Engineering and Design Products I-RAP-Mud Lake, MN

    This review plan describes necessary quality reviews for engineering and design (E&D) products for the I-RAP-Mud Lake, MN project. Project objectives include: (1) to improve connectivity for water and aquatic organisms to move between Mud Lake and the St. Louis River; (2) to provide overwintering habitat by deepening and opening the north end of Mud Lake; (3) to restore wetland habitat by creating hemi-marsh for birds; (4) to improve plant species establishment, re-establishing wild rice, and limiting invasive cattails; (5) to recreate historic bay mouth bars and islands reusing dredged material; and (6) to remediate contaminated sediments, as needed. The project will include construction of a 10- to 30-foot opening under an existing railroad way. The opening design will consist of multiple, precast box culverts or a simple span precast concrete bridge founded on steel piles. Engineering tasks will include data collection, hydraulic modeling, and plans and specifications for dredging and the culvert or bridge. The construction contract will be awarded by others (USEPA or MNDNR). The USACE is expected to be retained for construction oversight support.

  • Finding of no Significant Impact and Environmental Assessment

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Buffalo District has assessed the environmental impacts of the subject project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and has determined a draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The attached draft Environmental Assessment (EA) dated April 2024, addresses the USACE repair of the Conneaut West Breakwater located at the City of Conneaut, Ashtabula County, Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, about 70 miles northeast1 of Cleveland, Ohio. The Conneaut West Breakwater shelters Conneaut Harbor and its associated features from severe lake storms and waves. The breakwater provides necessary shelter from lake waves, allowing commercial vessels to navigate and serve industry at the harbor. In addition, the structure enables small vessels and recreational boats to navigate to and from marinas within the harbor project. The shoreline along Conneaut Harbor is also protected from erosion by the outer breakwater. Recent inspections indicate the breakwater has deteriorated from wave action since the last repairs were made to the structure. Thus, the breakwater is at risk of no longer providing adequate protection to the interior of Conneaut Harbor from severe lake storms and waves. Repair of this structure is necessary to restore the breakwater to its nearly original condition so it can provide adequate protection to the Conneaut Harbor navigation channel and shoreline.
