Detailed Project Report with Integrated Environmental Assessment Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) Vermilion County, Illinois Section 14 Emergency Streambank Stabilization Project Photo above is along Highway 21 at the erosion site in Vermilion County, Illinois (photo date February 2022) October 2022 PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ii FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) Section 14 Emergency Streambank Stabilization Project Vermilion County, Illinois The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District conducted an environmental analysis in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.), as amended. The Final Detailed Project Report, with Integrated Environmental Assessment (DPR/EA) dated September 2022, for the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) Vermilion County, Illinois Section 14 Emergency Streambank Stabilization Project addresses potential environmental impacts associated with the stabilization of a bank section of the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River to protect County Highway 21 in Vermilion County, Illinois. The Final DPR/EA, incorporated herein by reference, evaluated various alternatives that would address emergency streambank erosion occurring on the bank of the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River. The Recommended Plan is the least costly alternative compared to the cost of relocating the threatened facility. The Recommended Plan includes re-grading the bank to a stable condition and placing an engineered mix of stone and soil with native plantings of riparian vegetation on the bank. In addition to a “no action” plan, six action alternatives were considered. The alternatives included: (1) vegetated riprap revetment (the Recommended Plan), (2) riprap and root wads revetment, (3) geocells revetment, (4) gabion baskets with erosion control matting, (5) soil encapsulated lifts, and (6) road relocation with new bridge construction. The alternatives are described in d

The study was undertaken "as a part of the Miami River, Little Miami River, and Mill Creek Basins, ·ohio Survey Investigation. Other water resources studies concerning Southwest Ohio will be reported on in subsequent interim and final reports. The study includes consideration of water resOurces along Pleasant Run Creek and its tributaries--High School Tributary, General Motors Ditch, and East Fork Tributary. The study area includes the City of Fairfield located in Butler County and the upper reaches of Pleasant Run Creek located in extreme northern Hamilton County. The significant identified water and related land resoutces problems and opportunities in the study area are the direct result of flooding and urban expansion. The most serious problems at'e caused by headwater flooding on the reaches of Pleasant Run Creelt between Nilles Road and East Fork Tributary. The flooding on the Great Miami River does not cause significant problems within the study area.
