LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released the final revision of the supplemental environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System 12-foot channel deepening project.

The final versions of these documents can be viewed online at https://www.swl.usace.army.mil/Missions/Planning/MKARNS-12-foot-Channel/12-foot-channel-documents/.

The SEA, prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, supplements the 2005 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Arkansas River Navigation Study, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

The SEA provides a concise summary of the history and status of the originally authorized ARNS Project, documents the changes and refinements made to the MKARNS 12-foot Channel design during the pre-construction engineering design and construction phases and evaluates the potential environmental effects of the updated construction and design plans that may have changed since the FEIS was completed.
