Vincennes Levee and Wastewater Infrastructure Rehabilitation project - Environmental Assessment


The National Park Service (NPS), in cooperation with the City of Vincennes, Indiana, has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental, social, cultural, and historical impacts of the alternatives associated with the Vincennes Levee and Wastewater Infrastructure Rehabilitation project located within George Rogers Clark National Historical Park. This EA was prepared to inform the public and allow the NPS to make an informed decision on the appropriateness of the proposed actions.

The overall project has three separate construction activities for which the potential impacts of each are discussed within this EA:

1: Levee modifications
2: Wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation
3: Rehabilitation of the B&O railroad corridor within the park boundaries

The primary focus of this analysis involves modifications to the Vincennes-Brevoort levee system, which serves as the primary Wabash River flood protection mechanism for the City of Vincennes and surrounding areas. These modifications are necessary for the City of Vincennes to achieve levee certification and accreditation from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

We are inviting comment on this EA and on the actions proposed to address the needs of the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park and the City of Vincennes. This document will consider all public comment in reaching a decision.

We caution readers that the two files containing the appendices are large, contain graphics, and may take some time to download.
