ST. PAUL, Minn. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is seeking comments on the draft Environmental Assessment, or EA, for the Blackhawk Park comfort station improvement project in Vernon County, Wisconsin.
The project consists of removing the existing comfort station and constructing a new comfort station.
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a new Americans with Disabilities Act accessible comfort station within Blackhawk Park to serve the Upper Park Loop camping area and main boat ramp at an elevation not subject to flooding during high water events such as spring floods. Additional work would include utilities connections, sidewalk, parking area and final landscaping.
A final determination on the draft EA will be made following a 30-day public review period. A copy of the EA can be viewed and downloaded from the St. Paul District website at: https://www.mvp.usace.army.mil/Home/PublicNotices.aspx. The Corps is conducting a review of the environmental effects in accordance with the National Environment Policy Act.
Comments on the draft EA should be submitted no later than June 14. Questions and comments concerning the project should be directed to LeeAnn Glomski, Corps biologist, at LeeAnn.M.Glomski@usace.army.mil.
