Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for West Hayden Island Development, Multnomah County, Oregon

The Port of Portland is proposing to construct marine cargo facilities on West Hayden Island, including an access bridge across North Portland Harbor. West Hayden Island is an 846-acre site on the Columbia River downstream of Interstate 5 in Multnomah County, Oregon. Filling of 12.7 acres of wetlands on the site will require a Department of the Army (DA) permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Construction of the ship and barge berth and any associated dredging will require a DA permit under Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899. The proposed project will also require a bridge permit from the U.S. Coast Guard under Section 9 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899. Construction of the bridge may involve Federal funds through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Coast Guard and FHWA will serve as cooperating agencies in preparing the Draft EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, will be the lead agency.
