Intent To Prepare a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for the Puget Sound Nearshore Marine Habitat Restoration Project, WA

Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Seattle District, as lead Federal agency, will prepare a draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) evaluating a process based restoration project in the marine nearshore zone of Puget Sound, Washington to address the interruption and degradation of nearshore habitat resulting from the disturbance of habitat forming processes caused by various human influences. This environmental impact statement will be a combined Federal NEPA and Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) document. The lead agency for SEPA will be the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This is an opportunity for public comment; there will not be a separate SEPA process.
