INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND
WATER COMMISSION, UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO
United States Section; Notice of
Availability of a Draft Environmental
Assessment and Draft Finding of No
Significant Impact for Alternatives for
Improved Flood Control of the Hidalgo
Protective Levee System
AGENCY: United States Section,
International Boundary and Water
Commission, United States and Mexico
(USIBWC).
ACTION: Notice of availability of draft
Environmental Assessment (EA) and
draft Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969; the Council on
Environmental Quality Final
Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through
1508); and the U.S. Section’s
Operational Procedures for
Implementing Section 102 of NEPA,
published in the Federal Register
September 2, 1981 (46 FR 44083), the
USIBWC hereby gives notice that the
Draft EA and Draft FONSI are available
for Alternatives for Improved Flood
Control of the Hidalgo Protective Levee
System located in Hidalgo County,
Texas.
The Hidalgo Protective Levee System
was recently identified as a priority area
for flood control improvement. The
USIBWC is considering alternatives to
raise the 4.5-mile levee system in two
construction phases, each covering
separate geographic reaches of the
Hidalgo Protective Levee System. The
phased construction approach responds
to the likely availability of early funding
for Phase 1, the upstream reach of the
project. Alternatives under
consideration to improve the Hidalgo
Protective Levee System would expand

the levee footprint by lateral extension
of the structure. Levee footprint
increases toward the riverside could
potentially extend into floodplain areas
designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service as part of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley National Wildlife Refuge System.
Footprint increases toward the levee
landside could extend beyond the
USIBWC right-of-way. Soil borrow
easements would be used to secure
levee material.
The EA explains the purpose and
need for the Proposed Action, and
assesses its potential environmental
impacts. The EA also analyzes the No
Action Alternative and two alternatives
to the Proposed Action: the Phase 2
Footprint Expansion Alternative and the
No-Footprint Expansion Alternative.
The Proposed Action for Phase 1 of the
project is to increase existing levee
height with the associated increase in
footprint (Phase 1 Footprint Expansion
Alternative). This alternative would
increase flood containment capacity by
raising the height of the existing
compacted earthen levee from 3 to 8 feet
to meet a 3-foot freeboard requirement
indicated by results of hydraulic
modeling.
The Proposed Action for Phase 2
requires partial rerouting of the 1.2-mile
downstream reach of the levee system
(Partial Levee Rerouting Alternative).
Levee rerouting would eliminate the
need for construction of a floodwall in
front of the Hidalgo Historic
Pumphouse, a resource eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places, and a future site of the
World Birding Center, a project by the
City of Hidalgo and the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department. A new levee
segment, approximately 0.7 mile in
length, would be built along the south
margin of the pumphouse intake
channel, and the channel would be
crossed to tie the new structure to the
existing levee system. Floodwall
placement would be required along the
Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge.
On the basis of the Draft EA, the
USIBWC has determined that an
environmental impact statement is not
required to implement the Proposed
Action, and hereby provides notice of a
Finding of No Significant Impact. An
environmental impact statement will
not be prepared unless additional
information which may affect this
decision is brought to our attention
within thirty (30) days of the date of this
Notice of Availability.
The Draft EA and Draft FONSI have
been sent to various federal, state, and
local agencies and interested parties.
The Draft EA and Draft FONSI are
available under ‘‘What’s New?’’ on the
