SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Collier County CSRM Study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of addressing storm and flood risks to vulnerable populations, property, infrastructure, and ecosystems along coastlines in Collier County, and develop and evaluate various alternatives aimed at managing those risks and increasing coastal resiliency against storm surge. Alternatives were formulated to address the full study scope in 2023. The time and cost to collect data and perform complex modeling required to properly identify a cost effective, viable solution led USACE to determine that current federal funding was insufficient to complete the analysis. USACE is therefore terminating this study and the preparation of the associated EIS, which was initiated by a NOI to Prepare an EIS in the Federal Register on July 9, 2024 (89 FR 56348).
