Description:This environmental assessment (EA) evaluates the potential environmental impacts associated with the United States Department of the Navy's proposed action to remove and replace fender piles at Pier 4 at Naval Base Kitsap, Bremerton. The piles to be replaced occur along the perimeter of Pier 4. The Proposed Action is planned to begin in 2016 and will take approximately 6-12 weeks to complete, including approximately 4 weeks of in-water work. The proposed action includes removal of approximately 80 creosote-treated timber fender piles and replacement with approximately eighty 12- to 14-inch hollow steel fender piles. As part of the Navy's mission, maintaining facilities and readiness is a priority. Since the action is to replace existing piles, the only alternative would be to not replace the piles; therefore, no practical or feasible action alternatives were identified. This EA analyzes the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. The analysis addresses potential direct and indirect impacts on water resources, noise, biological resources, cultural resources, American Indian traditional resources, and cumulative impacts. There is no cooperating agency for this document.
