Public Scoping Meetings for the SNWW Feasibility Study
The Galveston District, Corps of Engineers (COE) and the Jefferson
County Waterway and Navigation District (JCWND) are conducting a
feasibility study of proposed navigation improvements to a portion of
the Sabine-Neches Waterway. Attached is a Fact Sheet containing
additional information on the feasibility study. Public scoping meetings
for the study were held in May 2002 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and
Beaumont, Texas. The purpose of these meetings was to inform the public
about study progress and to solicit comments on environmental issues
such as changes in salinity and circulation, changes in fresh and
saltwater marshes, water and sediment quality, erosion along the
channel, threatened and endangered species impacts, and beneficial use
of dredged materials. Issues and concerns expressed by the public at
these meetings are summarized in the attached Public Scoping Meetings
Summary. Transcripts of each meeting, and individual presentations given
by the JCWND and COE, are also provided.
