Environmental Assessment: Reevaluation of the Le Claire Base Construction Storage Yard, Le Claire, Iowa

Abstract

The Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, proposes to acquire lands and easements necessary to relocate its construction storage yard located near Lock and Dam 14 in Le Claire, Iowa. An Environmental Assessment (EA) on this project was first released on May 22, 1987, for public comment. The Corps' maintenance equipment is presently stored on an artificially filled parcel of land which is owned by the State of Iowa, subject to the Government's paramount easement for navigation. The storage yard's land and water exposure to the public has caused numerous security and management problems. Rock Island District's Operations Division has reported several incidents of theft and property destruction at the storage site. Acquisition of the lands and necessary construction will allow for consolidation of the Service Base facilities and, with the possible addition of an electronic security system, will eliminate the security problems.
