Draft FONSI Dredging of Oregon Inlet with Dare County Dredge


In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Park Service (NPS) is adopting the Environmental Assessment (EA) the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) drafted for their Section 404 permitting in which the NPS was a cooperating agency. The USACE and NPS reviewed Dare County's applicant prepared January 2019 Oregon Inlet Channel Maintenance Utilizing a New Privately-Owned Hopper Dredge draft environmental assessment which examined alternative actions and environmental impacts associated with the proposed project to dredge Oregon Inlet with a privately-owned hopper dredge.

The statements and conclusions reached in this draft finding of no significant impact (FONSI) are based on documentation and analysis provided in the USACE EA with supplemental analysis provided in the Dare County EA to support the NPS's decision. To the extent necessary, relevant sections of the USACE's EA are incorporated by reference in the FONSI.
