This Limited Reevaluation Report (LRR) and accompanying Environmental Assessment (EA) present the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a limited reevaluation study of the coastal storm damage problems and needs of 7.3 miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline within the city of Norfolk, Virginia. A 1983 Feasibility Report, also conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, recommended an implementable plan for a coastal storm damage reduction project which was later authorized for construction by Congress in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986. The Authorized Project consisted of the construction and periodic sand renourishment of a protective beach berm along the entire study area shoreline. Preconstruction Engineering and Design (PED) investigations leading to the construction of the Authorized Project were put on hold from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s due to a shift in local priorities in the study area resulting from the construction of two major Navy dredging/sand placement projects and state funding for the construction of offshore breakwaters. In 2003, Hurricane Isabel brought about a renewed interest in the Authorized Project and with support at the local and Federal levels, PED investigations restarted to include the completion of a limited reevaluation study to determine whether there was continued Federal and local interest in the construction of the Authorized Project or a reformulated project plan. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the LRR and accompanying EA must be made available to the public in the affected area for thirty (30) days to allow for review and comment.
