STABILIZATION PROJECT
Priest River Wildlife Management Area, Bonner County, Idaho
The public is invited to comment on the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Pend Oreille River 10 BR 94 Shoreline Stabilization Project, Bonner County, Idaho. The project is located upstream of the Albeni Falls Dam approximately 1.5 miles east of the town of Priest River. The proposed action is rock rip/rap bank stabilization along approximately 600 linear feet of Pend Oreille River shoreline. The stabilization will prevent further encroachment into the Burlington Northern / Montana Rail Link and prevent further shoreline erosion that results in loss of important archaeological data. The Draft EA will be available at the East Bonner County Library, 1407 Cedar Street, Sandpoint, Idaho (208) 263-6930. The EA can also be viewed on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website at www.nws.usace.army.mil/ers/envirdocs.html. Comments will be received for 30 days and due no later than 24 June 2005. All comments received during the review period will be addressed in the Final EA. Please send any written comments to Mr. Matt Bennett, Biologist, Environmental Resources Section, Post Office Box 3755, Seattle, Washington, 98124-3755, or fax comments to Mr. Bennett at (206) 764-4470.
