  • Final EIS Chapter
    CHAPTER 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT Summer Flounder The recreational and commercially important summer flounder are managed under the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan directed by the MAFMC (NMFS 2008). The summer flounder ranges from the shallow estuarine and outer continental shelf waters from Nova Scotia to Florida to the northern Gulf of Mexico (NEFSC 1999). Summer flounder exhibit seasonal inshore/offshore migration patterns from late spring through early fall in estuaries and sounds, and migrate offshore on the outer continental shelf during the winter (NEFSC 1999; ASMFC 2014b). The adults primarily inhabit sandy substrates but can also be found in seagrass beds, marsh creeks, and sand flats. They are quick predators, ambushing their prey and making full use of their camouflage and bottom positioning for efficient predation on small fish and squid. Crustaceans make up a large percentage of their diet (ASMFC 2014b; NEFSC 1999). The EFH habitats within the study area support the larval, juvenile, and adult developmental life stages of the summer flounder (NMFS 2008; ASMFC 2014b). 3.8 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION This section describes the infrastructure of the existing transportation system within the Transpor- tation Study Area (TSA). The section is broken down into the following sections: Roadways, Railroad, Port of Charleston, Pedestrian and Bicycle, and Transit. The TSA, as shown in Figure 3.8-1, covers a greater area than the general study area due to the need to analyze the impacts to the surrounding transportation network as a result of the Navy Base ICTF, two existing rail-truck intermodal facilities (CSX’s Bennet Yard and NS’s 7-Mile Yard), and three Port facilities that handle containerized cargo (Future HLT, Wando Welch, and North Charleston port facilities).
