Draft Environmental Assessment

Washington Sailing Marina (WSM), located on Dangerfield Island, just opposite National Airport and Columbia Island Marina (CIM), at the southern end of Lyndon Baines Johnson Grove and 3 miles upstream from WSM are owned by the National Park Service (NPS) and managed by Guest Services, Inc. The marinas provide for recreational boating and access to the Federal navigational project in the Potomac River. The WSM provides recreational sailing and the CIM provides recreational power boating. The access channels serving to connect these marinas with the Federal Navigational channel are inadequate and unsafe for the types of boats currently using these marinas. Through both studies, the benefits which may reasonably be expected to accrue from the proposed project are being balanced against its reasonable foreseeable detriments. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act the NPS is soliciting comments from the public, state, and local agencies and officials, and other interested parties. The public review and comment period for the draft feasibility study and draft environmental assessment will begin on November 21, 1997 and close on December 21, 1997. A p
