SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background Information. Based on 

the current engineering knowledge, the 

Corps has determined that the Martis 

Creek Dam has a high risk of failure due 

to significant existing seismic, seepage, 

and hydrologic issues. Compounding 

this risk is the large population 

downstream within the inundation 

zone, specifically the Reno-Sparks 

Metropolitan Area. An external peer 

review panel, commissioned by the 

Corps, confirmed that the Corps’ Class 

I designation ‘‘Urgent and Compelling’’ 

is appropriate for the Martis Creek Dam 

for the following reasons: 

a. Foundation and abutment seepage 

and piping. 

b. The dam’s drain blanket is not 

performing as intended; 

c. The spillway is hydraulically 

inadequate; 

d. The site is in a high seismic zone 

and it is probable that the dam and 

spillway are seismically inadequate; 

e. High probability of structural 

failure, leading to potential life and 

economic loss. 

The panel recommended short-term 

risk reductions measures, such as 

maintaining the current reservoir pool 

restriction elevation of 5,780 feet for 

normal conditions, 58 feet below gross 

pool. The panel also recommended 

long-term risk reduction measures 

including completion of on-going 

studies of hydrologic, seismic, and 

geophysical conditions, and improving 

the existing instrumentation to ensure 

adequate monitoring and to provide 

suitable baseline information. 

2. Remediation Alternatives. The draft 

EIS will address an array of remediation 

alternatives that are necessary to 

prevent loss of life, extensive 

downstream damage, functional loss of 

the project, and the loss of all project 

benefits. The exact nature and extent of 

the remediation alternatives will be 

determined based on the results of ongoing geotechnical and engineering 

studies, public and agency input during 

the scoping period, and preparation of 

the draft EIS. 

3. Issues To Be Addressed. The draft 

EIS will address environmental issues 

concerning the remediation alternatives 

proposed. Issues will be identified 

based on public input during the 

scoping process and during the 

preparation of the draft EIS. Issues 

initially identified as potentially 

significant include, but are not limited 

to: soils and seismicity, hydrology and 

water quality, noise and vibration, air 

quality, socioeconomics, water supply, 

land use, recreation, visual and 

aesthetic resources, traffic and 

transportation, historical and cultural 

resources, vegetation and wildlife, 

special status species, and fisheries. 

4. Public Involvement. Public scoping 

meetings will be held in June or July 

2010 at specific locations to be 

announced within the local Martis 

Creek DSAP project area, in Truckee, 

CA. The purpose of the public scoping 

meetings will be to present information 

to the public regarding the array of 

remediation alternatives proposed that 

may be addressed in the draft EIS, 

receive public comments, and solicit 

input regarding environmental issues of 

concern to the public. These meetings 

are intended to initiate the process to 

involve concerned individuals, and 

local, State, and Federal agencies. The 

public scoping meeting place, date, and 

time will be advertised in advance in 

local newspapers, and meeting 

announcement letters will be sent to 

interested parties. Written comments 

may also be submitted via the Web site 

or mailed to (see ADDRESSES). 

5. Availability of the Draft EIS. The 

Corps intends to issue the draft EIS in 

April 2011. The Corps will announce 

availability of the draft EIS in the 

Federal Register and other media, and 

will provide the public, organizations, 

and agencies with an opportunity to 

submit comments to be addressed in the 

final EIS.

Abstract: The Program was authorized 

under Title III, Part A, of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended by 

the Higher Education Opportunity Act 

(HEOA) of 2008 Section 319. The 

program awards discretionary grants to 

eligible institutions of higher education 

so that they might increase selfsufficiency by improving academic 

programs, institutional management, 

and fiscal stability. This application 

package reflects the most recent changes 

to the HEOA legislation making it 

necessary to separate from OMB No. 

1840–0798 and seek clearance under a 

new OMB No. 

This information collection is being 

submitted under the Streamlined 

Clearance Process for Discretionary 

Grant Information Collections (1894–

comment period notice will be the only 

public comment notice published for 

this information collection.

the most severe disabilities. DRRPs 

carry out one or more of the following 

types of activities, as specified and

350.19: research, training, 

demonstration, development, 

dissemination, utilization, and technical 

assistance. 

An applicant for assistance under this 

program must demonstrate in its 

application how it will address, in 

whole or in part, the needs of 

individuals with disabilities from 

minority backgrounds (34 CFR 

350.40(a)). The approaches an applicant 

may take to meet this requirement are 

found in 34 CFR 350.40(b).
