Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of
EPA Comments

Availability of EPA comments prepared August 29, 1994 through
September 2, 1994 pursuant to the Environmental Review Process (ERP),
under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act and Section 102(2)(c) of the
National Environmental Policy Act as amended. Requests for copies of
EPA comments can be directed to the Office of Federal Activities at
(202) 260-5076.
An explanation of the ratings assigned to draft environmental
impact statements (EISs) was published in FR dated April 8, 1994 (59 FR
16807).

Draft EISs

ERP No. D-BLM-B61019-CT Rating LO1, Weir Farm National Historic
Site, Implementation, General Management Plan, Possible COE Section
404 Permit, Towns of Ridgefield and Walton, Fairfield County, CT.
Summary: EPA commented that the draft EIS adequately addresses
all issues within our jurisdiction and areas of expertise.
ERP No. D-BOP-G80001-TX Rating EC2, Houston Metropolitan
Detention Center, Site Selection, Construction and Operation, City
of Houston County, TX.
Summary: EPA requested additional information on cumulative
effects to fully assess potential environmental impacts.
Specifically, the Final EIS should be expanded to address the
proposed action in combination with other known or planned
construction sites or projects that would take place within the same
timeframe and geographical area (i.e., other projects being
considered for construction at the five sites under detailed
consideration by the Federal Bureau of Prisons).
ERP No. D-NOA-A91060-00 Rating EC2, Western 1995 Atlantic
Bluefin Tuna Fishery, Regulation Amendment, Implementation.
Summary: EPA had environmental concerns with three quota
alternatives that would result in a decline of bluefin tuna stock
despite the use of different allocation alternatives. EPA was also
concerned with the shift to other overstressed fisheries that will
occur with the quota restrictions and recommended that a
comprehensive fishery management and monitoring plan be developed
and implemented.

ERP No. F-AFS-L60198-OR Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
Land and Resource Management Plan Amendment, Implementation Suislaw
