Repairs to the Fort Jefferson Counterscarp and Dredging of Selected Areas Environmental Assessment


The environmental assessment evaluates a no-action alternative and one action alternative, describes the environment that would be affected by the alternatives and assesses the environmental consequences of implementing the alternatives. Under the no-action alternative, the NPS would maintain the existing conditions at Fort Jefferson.

Under the preferred alternative, impacts from the hurricanes would be addressed by (1) identifying, removing, and relocating endangered corals and other significant benthic organisms prior to the commencement of repairs, (2) repairing, strengthening, and protecting the compromised sections of the Fort Jefferson counterscarp, (3) removing sand and silt material at two locations in the moat surrounding the fort and the finger slips at the Garden Key Waterfront, and (4) placing the sand and silt material in appropriate locations within and adjacent to the fort.
