Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 170 / Thursday, September 1, 2011 / Notices 54451 

Order 216–6 5.09(d) and determined 

that issuance of the IHA is not likely to 

result in significant impacts on the 

human environment. Consequently, 

NMFS has adopted NSF’s EA and 

prepared a FONSI for the issuance of the 

IHA. An Environmental Impact 

Statement is not required and will not 

be prepared for the action. 

Authorization 

As a result of these determinations, 

NMFS has issued an IHA to UAGI for 

the take of marine mammals, by Level 

B harassment, incidental to conducting 

a marine seismic survey in the Arctic 

Ocean, September–October 2011, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are incorporated.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Joint 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement and Environmental Impact 

Report for the Folsom Dam 

Modification Project, Approach 

Channel. 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers; DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The action being taken is the 

preparation of a joint supplemental 

environmental impact statement/ 

environmental impact report (EIS/EIR) 

for the Folsom Dam Modification, 

Approach Channel Project. The EIS/EIR 

will be prepared in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

will serve as lead agency for compliance 

with NEPA, and the State of California 

Central Valley Flood Protection Board 

(CVFPB) will serve as lead agency for 

compliance with CEQA. The Folsom 

Dam Modification Project, Approach 

Channel will evaluate alternatives, 

including a locally preferred plan, for 

providing dam safety and flood damage 

reduction at Folsom Dam located 

downstream from the confluence of the 

North and South Forks of the American 

River near the city of Folsom, California. 

DATES: Written comments regarding the 

scope of the environmental analysis 

should be received by November 4, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning this study and requests to be 

included on the Folsom Dam 

Modification Project, Approach Channel 

mailing list should be submitted to Ms. 

Nancy Sandburg, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento District, Attn: 

Planning Division (CESPK–PD–RA), 

1325 J Street, Sacramento, California 

95814.

regular mail at (see ADDRESSES). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Proposed Action. USACE is 

preparing an EIS/EIR to analyze the 

environmental impacts associated with 

a range of alternatives for providing dam 

safety and flood damage reduction 

associated with Phase 4 of the action for 

the Folsom Dam Modification Project, 

Approach Channel. This project 

addresses design alternatives for an 

Approach Channel that is tiered from 

the 2007 Folsom Dam Safety and Flood 

Damage Reduction—Joint Federal 

Project EIS/EIR NEPA analyses to 

complete construction of a control 

structure and spillway at Folsom Dam 

on the American River system. 

2. Alternatives. The EIS/EIR will 

address construction alternatives that 

are intended to improve dam safety and 

provide flood risk management within 

the project area. Alternatives analyzed 

during the investigation may include, 

but are not limited to, a combination of 

one or more of the following design 

measures to complete the new control 

structure and spillway: installation of a 

temporary cofferdam or cutoff walls, 

construction of a spur dike, blasting to 

remove bedrock material, dredging, 

terrestrial deposition of dredge material, 

and temporary modification of existing 

terrestrial sites for haul routes and 

staging areas. 

3. Scoping Process. 

a. A public scoping meeting will be 

held to present an overview of the 

Folsom Dam Modification Project, 

Approach Channel and the EIS/EIR 

process, and to afford all interested 

parties with an opportunity to provide 

comments regarding the scope of 

analysis and potential alternatives. The 

public scoping meeting will be held in 

at the Folsom Community Center at 52 

Natoma Street in Folsom, CA on 

October 20, 2011. Presentation will 

begin at 6 p.m. 

b. Potentially significant issues to be 

analyzed in depth in the EIS/EIR 

include project specific and cumulative
