Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Recapitalization of Waterfront Facilities at Station Rockland, Maine

/ Published Aug. 13, 2026

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed recapitalization of waterfront facilities at Station Rockland in Knox County, Maine. The proposed recapitalization is necessary to restore the waterfront facilities that were damaged by historic storms and king tides. These improvements would modernize aging facilities, correct existing infrastructure deficiencies, and ensure the Sector can safely and efficiently support current and future USCG missions.  The FEA presents the purpose and need for the action, the proposed action and alternatives, a description of the affected environment, and an analysis of environmental consequences of the proposed action. Based on the Final EA, the USCG concluded the project will have no significant impact on the human environment and has issued a FONSI.  

This notice announces the availability of the Final EA and FONSI. Consistent with Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management), the USCG has determined that the Proposed Action is the only practicable alternative available; therefore, the Proposed Action must occur within the floodplain. The Proposed Action would not have a significant adverse impact on the floodplain.
