Expiration date: 3/3/2025

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Beach Parking Relocation project is designed to relocate infrastructure and facilities needed to support the recreational beach including parking, access road, and facilities. The current recreational beach and parking lots have experienced severe damage over the years due to strong winds, waves, and storm surges in conjunction with high tides. Destruction of the existing recreational beach and parking lots is expected to reoccur on a regular basis in the future and more frequently. Therefore, to continue providing recreational beach access to visitors, relocation of the recreational beach is recommended. Comments should be received by the close of business on March 3, 2025.

As proposed, the project will result in permanent impacts to 1.37 acres of palustrine forested (PFO) wetlands and 0.21 acre of palustrine emergent (PEM) wetlands. The proposed impacts will result from grading and fill associated with the construction of the planned mixed residential development, interior roads through the site development, site utilities, and stormwater management infrastructure. The purpose of the project is to construct a mixed-residential development to meet the need for housing in this region. Comments should be received by the close of business on January 27, 2025.
