Street, Room 1480, Sacramento, CA 

95814–2922.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant has applied for a Department 

of the Army permit under section 404 of 

the Clean Water Act to construct a 

residential and commercial 

development. The proposed project 

would be developed on approximately 

3,828 acres south of Highway 50 in 

RanchoCordova, Sacramento County. 

The project site is located south of 

White Rock Road, north of Douglas 

Road, and east of Sunrise Boulevard. 

The project consists of approximately 

1200 high, medium and low density 

residential homes, 38 retail/commercial 

offices, 9 parks, 10 schools, and 2 

wetland preserves and other open space 

areas. The proposed project site has a 

past history of grazing, landfill 

activities, gold mining, and rocket fuel 

testing. Approximately one-third of the 

site is grasslands, which have been used 

for grazing and contain vernal pool 

complexes and the upper reaches of 

Morrison Creek. Past gold mining in the 

1920s and 1950s, and past landfill 

activities, have altered the remaining 

two-thirds of the site. Since mining 

ceased, the site was used to burn excess 

rocket fuel and test energetic material. 

Due to the rocket testing and propellant 

burning on the site, soil and 

groundwater at the site are known to 

contain trichloroethene (TCE) and other 

volatile organic compounds. The 

California Department of Toxic 

Substances Control has issued Imminent 

and Substantial Endangerment Orders to 

address the issue of TCE detected in a 

county well. The site has been divided 

into eleven primary study areas with 

responsibility for performing the 

required investigations divided between 

McDonnell Douglas and Aerojet General 

Corporation based upon previous usage. 

Soil and groundwater remediation 

continues to occur at the site. 

A total of 74.61 acres of waters of the 

United States have been identified on 

the project site, including 37.02 acres of 

vernal pools, 20.44 acres of seasonal 

wetlands, 6.43 acres of riparian wetland, 

6.47 acres of ponds, and 4.25 acres of 

stream channels. The applicant has 

applied to fill approximately 47 acres of 

these waters to construct the project. A 

505-acre vernal pool/wetland preserve 

in the southern portion of the project, 

where the highest concentration of 

vernal pools exists on the project site, 

would be preserved. The preserve 

would contain 27.62 acres of waters of 

the United States. The applicant 

proposes to create approximately 22 

acres of additional vernal pools in the 

preserve. 

The Corps’ public involvement 

program includes several opportunities 

to provide oral and written comments 

(See DATES). Affected Federal, state, 

local agencies, Indian tribes, and other 

interested private organizations and 

parties are invited to participate. 

Currently, potentially significant issues 

to be analyzed in depth in the DEIS 

include, loss of waters of the United 

States, including wetlands, cultural 

resources, biological resources, 

hazardous materials, air quality, surface 

and groundwater, water quality, noise, 

aesthetics, and socio-economic effects. 

Except for on-site preserve 

alternatives, no specific on-site or offsite project alternatives have been 

identified. However, alternatives, 

including the no-project alternative, 

other locations and other site 

configurations, will be evaluated in the 

DEIS and in accordance with the section 

404(b)(1) guidelines. 

The Corps has initiated formal 

consultation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, under section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, for five 

Federally threatened or endangered 

species and one species proposed for 

listing that may be affected by the 

project. The Corps will also be 

consulting with the State Historic 

Preservation Officer under section 106 

of the National Historic Preservation Act 

for potential impacts to properties 

listed, or potentially eligible for listing, 

on the National Register of Historic 

Places. 

The Environmental Impact Statement 

will be prepared as a joint document 

with the City of Rancho Cordova. The 

City is the local agency responsible for 

preparing an Environmental Impact 

Report in compliance with the 

California Environmental Quality Act. 

The DEIS is expected to be released in 

March of 2005.
