Project, and LRGFCP). In addition, 

USIBWC maintains the Tijuana River 

Flood Control Project, located in the 

United States portion of the Tijuana 

River, extending 2.3 miles from the 

international boundary. This project 

provides flood protection to areas in the 

United States. 

The proposed federal action that will 

be evaluated in the PEIS may include 

activities to ensure adequate flood 

control and water deliveries per 

international agreements and treaties, 

while identifying opportunities for 

enhancements to the riparian ecosystem 

and the development of recreational 

opportunities. 

2. Alternatives 

The USIBWC, as the lead agency, 

proposes to collect information 

necessary for the preparation of a PEIS 

and to analyze alternatives for the 

management of the flood control 

projects to ensure compliance with the 

projects’ mandates (flood protection, 

water deliveries and/or boundary 

stabilization) while creating 

opportunities for habitat restoration and 

recreation. Management activities to be 

evaluated may include: (1) Construction 

activities, such as raising and setting 

back levees, recreating meanders, and 

modifying the river channel; (2) 

maintenance activities such as 

vegetation control, channel dredging, 

and erosion control; and (3) other nonstructural activities, such as land 

management and grazing. 

The PEIS will identify, describe, and 

evaluate the existing environmental, 

cultural, sociological and economical, 

and recreational resources; describe the 

flood protection projects; and evaluate 

the impacts associated with the 

alternatives under consideration. 

Significant issues which have been 

identified to be addressed in the PEIS 

include, but are not limited to impacts 

to water resources, water quality, 

cultural and biological resources, 

threatened and endangered species, and 

recreation. Coordination with the 

United States Fish and Wildlife Service 

will ensure compliance with the Fish 

and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1973, 

as amended. Cultural resources 

assessments for the project areas will be 

coordinated by the New Mexico State 

Historic Preservation Officer, the Texas 

State Historic Preservation Officer, and 

the California State Historic 

Preservation Officer. Other federal and 

state agencies will be consulted, as 

required, to ensure compliance with 

federal and state laws and regulations. 

The USIBWC has invited several 

agencies to participate as cooperating 

agencies pursuant 40 CFR 1501.6, to the 

extent possible. Other agencies may be 

invited to become cooperators as they 

are identified during the scoping 

process. 

The environmental review of this 

project will be conducted in accordance 

with the requirements of NEPA, CEQ 

Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), 

other appropriate federal regulations, 

and the USIBWC procedures for 

compliance with those regulations. 

Copies of the PEIS will be transmitted 

to federal and state agencies and other 

interested parties for comments and will 

be filed with the Environmental 

Protection Agency in accordance with 

40 CFR parts 1500–1508 and USIBWC 

procedures. 

The USIBWC anticipates the Draft 

PEIS will be made available to the 

public by November 2005.
