DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Termination of the Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement Supplement (DEIS, No. 4), Red River Waterway, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma and Related Projects, Shreveport,
Louisiana to Daingerfield, Texas, Re-Evaluation
AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, DOD.
ACTION: Notice of termination to prepare a DEIS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In 1991, the Vicksburg District, initiated preparation of a
DEIS Supplement for the proposed extension of the Red River Waterway
Navigation Project from Shreveport Louisiana, to Daingerfield, Texas.
In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's Final
Regulations for the Implementation of Procedural Provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), a Notice of
Intent was published in the Federal Register, 56 FR 4210, February 22,
1991. The preliminary evaluation of the alternative plans for the
Shreveport to Daingerfield Research of the Waterway Project indicated
the extension of navigation was not economically feasible and
significant adverse environmental consequences could occur. The Corps
recommendation to terminate the re-evaluation study was approved and
the Shreveport, Louisiana, to Daingerfield, Texas, component of the Red
River Waterway Project has been classified as inactive. The preparation
of a DEIS Supplement is no longer required pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act. Therefore, related EIS studies have been
terminated, and the Notice of Intent is hereby withdrawn.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District, 2101 North
Frontage Road, Vicksburg, Mississippi 39180-5191.
