SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed conjunctive use project would 

be located in the lower Santa Margarita 

River basin on MCB Camp Pendleton, 

San Diego County, California. The 

project would upgrade an existing 

groundwater recharge and recovery 

system currently producing 7,000 acrefeet of water per year. Studies suggest 

that this yield could be increased to as 

much as 16,200 acre-feet per year. The 

project would improve existing 

diversion and percolation facilities and 

install new wells, an advanced potable 

water treatment plant, pump stations 

and a pipeline to Fallbrook. Potential 

options could involve in-stream water 

retention structures, reclaimed 

wastewater, off-stream storage, and 

recharge of other groundwater basins on 

MCB Camp Pendleton. 

The purpose of the proposed project 

is to help meet water demands for MCB 

Camp Pendleton and Fallbrook, reduce 

regional dependency on imported water, 

and improve water reliability by 

increasing the yield of the lower Santa 

Margarita River basin and perfecting 

water rights permits that were assigned 

to Reclamation in 1974 pursuant to 

State Water Resources Control Board 

Order WR 73–50. 

Reclamation currently holds three 

state-approved permits to divert and 

store water from the Santa Margarita 

River. The proposed conjunctive use 

project would enable permits 15000, 

11357, and 8511 to be perfected, and 

could facilitate settlement of United 

States v. Fallbrook Public Utility 

District, et al. (No. 1247–SD–C), filed in 

1951. 

The permits were originally issued to 

Fallbrook and MCB Camp Pendleton. In 

1968, Fallbrook, the U.S. Attorney 

General, the Secretary of the Navy, and 

the Secretary of the Interior signed a 

Memorandum of Understanding and 

Agreement to negotiate a physical 

solution predicated on the construction 

of a two-dam project on the Santa 

Margarita River. Fallbrook and MCB 

Camp Pendleton subsequently assigned 

the permits to Reclamation, which had 

been authorized to prepare feasibility 

studies for the project (Sec. 3, Pub. L. 

89–561). 

Reclamation completed a Feasibility 

Report in 1971 and a Final EIS in 1976 

for a two-dam project to impound, 

conserve, and deliver the natural flows 

of the Santa Margarita River, as well as 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 210 / Monday, November 1, 2004 / Notices 63375

imported waters, to MCB Camp 

Pendleton and Fallbrook. Reclamation 

prepared a supplemental EIS for the 

project in 1984. However, Congress did 

not approve the project’s funding. A 

subsequent effort to design a smaller, 

single dam project was also 

unsuccessful. 

A 1994 study, with additional reports 

in 2001 and 2002, concluded that a 

groundwater recharge and extraction 

project (i.e., conjunctive use) may result 

in an annual yield comparable to that of 

the two-dam project, at a lower cost and 

with fewer adverse environmental 

effects. 

The conference report for the 2003 

Omnibus Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 

108–7) directed Reclamation, under the 

Santa Margarita feasibility 

authorization, to perform the studies 

needed to address current and future 

municipal, domestic, military, 

environmental, and other water uses 

from the Santa Margarita River. The 

2004 Energy and Water Appropriations 

Act (Pub. L. 108–137) provided funding 

for Reclamation to study the feasibility 

of the Santa Margarita Conjunctive Use 

Project. 

Through previous investigations, 

several areas of potential impact have 

been identified that apply to this 

proposed conjunctive use project. 

Potential impacts identified to date 

include, but are not be limited to, the 

following areas: Water quality/quantity 

(surface and groundwater), water rights, 

water reuse, fish passage, endangered 

species, estuarine habitat, riparian/

wetland habitat, and sediment transport. 

MCB Camp Pendleton, Reclamation, 

and Fallbrook have scheduled public 

meetings to describe the proposed 

project and obtain public input on the 

range of issues that should be studied in 

order to evaluate potential impacts of 

the proposed project. Each meeting will 

begin with a formal presentation about 

the proposed project from 6 p.m. to 6:30 

p.m. followed by an informal open 

house from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

These meetings will assist the 

agencies in identifying additional 

alternatives or options to meet the stated 

purpose of the conjunctive use project 

and to assist in determining issues that 

will be analyzed in the EIS/EIR. 

In response to issues developed 

during scoping, other alternative means 

of meeting the project’s purpose will be 

explored and analyzed in the EIS/EIR, if 

found to be reasonable. Federal, state 

and local agencies, tribes, and the 

general public are invited to participate 

in the environmental review process. 

Comments, including names and 

home addresses of respondents, will be 

made available for public review. 

Individual respondents may request 

their home address be withheld from 

public disclosure. Circumstances may 

exist in which we would withhold a 

respondent’s identity from public 

disclosure, as allowable by law. Please 

prominently state at the beginning of 

your comment if you wish your name 

and/or address withheld from public 

disclosure. We will make all 

submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public disclosure in their entirety. 

Please note, unidentified comments will 

not be considered.

and ASPA will provide current 

measures of participation in early 

childhood education, after-school 

programs, and other forms of nonparental care, as well as in-home and 

out-of-home activities. AELL will 

provide in-depth information on the 

participation of adults in a wide range 

of training and education activities.
