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.

Conneaut Creek Great Lakes Fishery and Ecosystem Restoration (GLFER) – Sea Lamprey Barrier Project

Expiration date: 6/15/2024
The purpose of this public notice is to specify what dredged or fill materials would be discharged into waters of the United States by implementation of the proposed action, advise all interested parties of the proposed project, and to provide an opportunity to submit comments or request a public hearing. Since 1954, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) has been implementing a comprehensive sea lamprey control program to reduce impacts of the invasive sea lamprey population on native fish stocks in the Great Lakes. Current sea lamprey control methods depend heavily on the use of chemical lampricides, and lampricide is applied in Conneaut Creek every two to five years to eliminate or reduce larval sea lamprey populations. Significant cost as well as public and ecological concern are associated with continued and repeated use of lampricide. As such, the GLFC has committed to reduce lampricide application through the implementation of alternative lamprey control strategies, including the use of barriers to block sea lamprey migration into spawning areas.

Conneaut Creek Great Lakes Fishery and Ecosystem Restoration (GLFER) – Sea Lamprey Barrier Project

Expiration date: 6/15/2024
This Detailed Project Report and Environmental Assessment (DPR/EA) for the Conneaut Creek Great Lakes Fishery and Ecosystem Restoration – Sea Lamprey Barrier Project addresses the feasibility and potential environmental effects associated with the implementation of sea lamprey control alternatives for the proposed study area along Conneaut Creek, Erie County, Pennsylvania. The DPR/EA evaluated various alternatives that would effectively limit sea lamprey migration into Conneaut Creek thereby reducing or eliminating the need for lampricide treatments. The Recommended Plan (Alternative 4a) is the National Ecosystem Restoration (NER) plan, which includes: A seasonally operated adjustable low crest barrier that uses an Obermeyer gate and electrical barrier with trap and sort and jumping pool at Griffey Road to provide more efficient and effective means to prevent or significantly reduce the numbers of sea lamprey from reaching upstream spawning habitat in Conneaut Creek.
