Intent To Prepare a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and Restoration Plan (RP) For The Green/Duwamish River Basin Restoration Project, King County, Washington

The Corps of Engineers, as lead Federal agency, will prepare a programmatic environmental impact statement evaluating alternative fish and wildlife habitat and water quality restoration approaches for the Green/Duwamish River Basin. This environmental impact statement will be a combined NEPA/SEPA document. The lead agency for SEPA will be the King County Water and Land Resources Division. Three alternatives will be evaluated in the DEIS: no action; habitat restoration that would benefit multiple species; and a program that benefits a single threatened fish species. A restoration plan will also be prepared in association with the DEIS. If approved, implementation of the restoration plan would begin in 2001. Potential issues of concern for the DEIS include impacts to fish and their habitat, water quality, wetlands, riparian habitat, flood control, land use, and public safety.
