Cancellation of the Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft and Final 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Reaches 2 and 3 on the 
Herbert Hoover Dike Major Rehabilitation Project, Palm Beach and Glades 
Counties, FL

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DOD.

ACTION: Notice; cancellation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
(USACE) hereby cancels its Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for Reaches 2 and 3 
on the HHD Major Rehabilitation Project, as published in the Federal 
Register, August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45539). The USACE issued an NOA for the 
Draft SEIS on December 22, 2006 (71 FR 77013). A public meeting was 
held in Clewiston on January 10, 2007 to present the Draft SEIS.
    The USACE issued a second NOI, published in the Federal Register, 
August 31, 2009 (74 FR 44828), due to a revision to the preferred 
alternative discussed and coordinated in the December 2006 Draft SEIS.
    The cancellation of the subject SEIS is necessitated due to a 
change in scope of the rehabilitation project. The initial focus of the 
HHD Major Rehabilitation Report (MRR) from 2000 divided the 143 miles 
dike into eight Reaches with the initial focus on Reach 1. This Reach 
by Reach approach is being replaced with a system wide risk reduction 
approach as required for safety modifications to dams.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions may be forwarded to Ms. 
Angela Dunn, Environmental Branch, Planning Division, Jacksonville 
District, Corps of Engineers, Post Office Box 4970, Jacksonville, FL 
32232-0019, Phone: 904-232-2108.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The supplemental MRR will be replaced with a 
system wide Dam Safety Modification (DSM) Report. Environmental 
documentation will be prepared and coordinated in conjunction with the 
system wide DSM Report.

    Dated: January 16, 2013.
Eric P. Summa,
Chief, Environmental Branch.
