Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Limited Reevaluation Study for the Deepening of the Arthur Kill/Howland Hook Navigation Channel; New York District, NY

In response to a House of Representatives, Committee on Public Works and Transportation Resolution dated May 9, 1979 to alleviate current and future navigation restrictions associated with the Arthur Kill/Howland Hook navigation channel, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District prepared a feasibility report and a final environmental impact statement in October 1985 that recommended a six foot deepening (from -35 to -41 feet) for a distance of approximately 2.1 miles and five foot deepening (-35 to -40 feet) along another 1.0 mile section of the channel. The New York District suspended work on the project in 1991 and the final environmental impact statement was no completed. The New York District has initiated a Limited Reevaluation study to reaffirm the recommended plan. A new environmental impact statement is being prepared. Public information meetings are being scheduled for the beginning of October 1996.
