Corps seeks public comment on changes to Caspian Tern nesting proposed actions

Published June 28, 2017

PORTLAND, Ore. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking public comment on a draft supplemental environmental assessment (SEA) for the Caspian Tern Nesting Island Construction Project, which includes a draft Amended Finding of No Significant Impact and a Clean Water Act Section 404 Alternatives Analysis.

The draft SEA evaluates the environmental effects of demolishing a floating island on Sheepy Lake within the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and constructing a permanent rock island in its place. The Corps prepared the documents pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act because it is changing the proposed action described in a 2009 environmental assessment.

The draft SEA and public notice for the proposed action is available for review at www.nwp.usace.army.mil/environment/sheepy-lake.

Questions or comments regarding the draft document should be directed to Mr. Paul Schmidt by phone at 503-808-4772, via email at sheepy-lake@usace.army.mil, or by mail to:
                                            
District Engineer
U.S. Army Corps of Engineer District, Portland
Attn:  CENWP-PM-E/Paul Schmidt
P.O. Box 2946, Portland, Oregon  97208-2946

The Corps will consider all comments received or postmarked by July 27, 2017, and make a determination regarding the significance of impacts resulting from the proposed action. In your response, please reference public notice number CENWP-PM-E-17-02.
