The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking public comment on a draft supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) to renovate and expand the City of Clinton, Iowa, marina, located in Joyce’s Slough on the Mississippi River. The city-owned marina proposes to expand by adding additional slips on the north and south side of the slough. The proposed improvements to the north will be located on the north side of the floodgate.
Activities previously presented in a final EA include the construction of 50 slips for transient boats greater than 26 feet long and associated facilities at the marina.
The project is proposed by the City of Clinton and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for funding through the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program (Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act), administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Projects funded by the Service are required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act and other associated federal requirements, including the Historic Preservation Act and the Endangered Species Act.
The draft supplemental EA, final EA and associated appendices can be found on the Web at http://www.veenstrakimm.com. Printed copies of the supplemental EA documents are available at:
