Cancellation of the Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft and Final 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Reach 1A on the Herbert 
Hoover Dike Major Rehabilitation Project, Martin and Palm Beach 
Counties

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 Reach 1A on the 
Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD) Major Rehabilitation Project, as published in 
the Federal Register, March 9, 2009 (74 FR 10038).
    The USACE issued a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the Draft SEIS 
on June 25, 2010 (75 FR 36386). A public meeting was held in Canal 
Point on July 22, 2010 to present the 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 as required by the National Environmental Policy 
Act.
