Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Folsom South of U.S. 

Highway 50 Specific Plan Project, in 

Sacramento County, CA, Corps Permit 

Application No. SPK–2007–02159 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 

Sacramento District has prepared a 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for the Folsom South of U.S. 

Highway 50 Specific Plan Project, a 

proposed master-planned, mixed use 

development within southeastern 

Sacramento County. 

On July 2, 2010, USACE published a 

notice in the Federal Register (75 FR 


mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICESER26MY11.003</GPH>
30680 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 102 / Thursday, May 26, 2011 / Notices 

38500), informing the public of the 

availability of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS) that analyzes 

the potential effects of implementing 

each of six (6) on-site land-use and 

eleven (11) off-site water supply 

alternative scenarios for a mixed-use 

development in the approximately 

3,502-acre Folsom South of U.S. 

Highway 50 Specific Plan Project Area. 

The FEIS has been prepared to 

respond to comments received from 

agencies, organizations, and members of 

the public on the 2010 DEIS, and to 

present corrections, revisions, and other 

clarifications and amplifications of the 

2010 DEIS, including minor project 

modifications made in response to these 

comments and as a result of the 

applicants’ ongoing planning efforts. 

The FEIS has been prepared as joint 

documents with the City of Folsom 

(City). The City is the local agency 

responsible for preparing an 

Environmental Impact Report in 

compliance with the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 

USACE is the lead Federal agency 

responsible for the FEIS and 

information contained in the DEIS and 

FEIS serves as the basis for a decision 

regarding issuance of an individual 

permit under Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act. It also provides information 

for Federal, state and local agencies 

having jurisdictional responsibility for 

affected resources. All incoming 

comments on the FEIS will be 

considered by USACE and responses 

will be provided for substantive issues 

raised which have not been addressed 

in the DEIS or FEIS. 

DATES: All written comments must be 

postmarked on or before June 26, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted in writing to: Lisa M. Gibson, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Sacramento District, Regulatory 

Division; 650 Capitol Mall, Suite 5–200,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South 

Folsom Property Owners Group, the 

project applicants, are seeking adoption 

by the City of the proposed SPA project 

and associated entitlements. The City 

and the South Folsom Property Owners 

Group are also seeking authorization 

from USACE for the placement of 

dredged or fill material into waters of 

the United States pursuant to Section 

404 of the Clean Water Act. The 

Proposed Project includes 10,210 

residential units at various densities on 

a total of 1,477.2 acres; 362.8 acres 

designated for commercial and 

industrial use, including a regional 

shopping center; public/quasi-public 

uses; elementary, middle, and high 

schools on 179.3 acres; 121.7 acres of 

community and neighborhood parks; 

stormwater detention basins; 1,053.1 

acres of open-space areas and openspace preserves; and major roads with 

landscaping. In addition, the proposed 

project includes the construction of 

several off-site infrastructure facilities, 

including intersection expansions to 

allow access to and from U.S. 50 and the 

SPA, an overpass of U.S. 50, two 

roadway connections and sewer 

pipelines from the SPA into El Dorado 

Hills, a sewer force main connection to 

the existing City system, a detention 

basin and water pipelines and facilities. 

The SPA contains approximately 84.94 

acres of waters of the U.S. The proposed 

land-use plan would involve the 

discharge of fill material into 

approximately 39.50 acres of waters of 

the U.S., and indirect impacts to 0.29 

acres of waters of the U.S. resulting from 

fragmentation of existing waters. In 

addition, the proposed land-use plan 

involves the preservation of 

approximately 44.19 acres of waters of 

the U.S., concentrated primarily on the 

Alder Creek corridor and adjacent 

tributaries and wetlands. 

For the proposed off-site water 

supply/alignment for the SPA, the City 

is proposing off-site water facilities that 

would involve the permanent 

assignment to the City of the contractual 

entitlements to Central Valley Project 

(CVP) contract entitlement water, 

totaling not more than 8,000 acre-feet 

per year (AFY) from the Natomas 

Central Mutual Water Company 

(NCMWC), diverting the water supply 

from the Sacramento River and 

conveying the water to the SPA. The 

proposed water supply would also 

involve the City purchasing dedicated 

capacity within the Freeport Regional 

Water Project (Freeport Project) from 

Sacramento County Water Agency 

(SCWA), which would serve as the 

point of diversion (POD) on the 

Sacramento River and partial 

conveyance pathway for not more than 

6,000 AFY purchased from NCMWC. 

The City proposes to add the Freeport 

POD to the assigned CVP water to 

facilitate the diversion of these supplies 

at the existing Freeport Project 

diversion. The City proposes to pump 

and convey the assigned NCMWC CVP 

water supply through the Freeport 

Project diversion facility and 

conveyance pipeline to the point where 

SCWA and East Bay Municipal Utility 

District pipelines split. The City would 

then construct new water supply 

conveyance infrastructure from the 

bifurcation point to the SPA within an 

approximately 200-foot corridor. The 

corridor for the proposed construction 

of the water line and the proposed 

location for water treatment plants 

contains approximately 50.7 acres of 

waters of the U.S. The estimate of 

waters of the U.S. within the proposed 

water supply corridor was determined 

based on aerial photographs and 

National Wetland Inventory maps, and 

has not been field delineated or verified 

by USACE. Because the City has not yet 

completed project specific engineering 

details for the proposed off-site water 

supply/alignment, the exact impacts to 

waters of the U.S. cannot be determined. 

However, construction of the water 

supply infrastructure is expected to 

occur within an area of less than 100 

feet in width, and, depending on which 

side of the corridor construction would 

occur, would impact an estimated 5.7 

acres or 6.8 acres of waters of the U.S.

the FEIS may also be reviewed at the
