DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

[INT–FES 00–21]

Bostwick Division, FrenchmanCambridge Division, and Kanaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability for Final

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended, the

Department of the Interior, Bureau of

Reclamation, has completed the FEIS on

the renewal of one long-term water

service contract and the conversion of

four long-term water service contracts to

repayment contracts for irrigation water

from Federal projects in the Republican

River basin in Nebraska and Kansas.

The FEIS describes six alternatives,

including no action and a new

‘‘Negotiated Alternative,’’ and evaluates

the environmental consequences of

renewing the long-term water service

contract, the conversion to repayment

contracts, and the modifications to

district operations.

Reclamation’s proposed action is to

renew the long-term water service

contract for the Frenchman Valley

Irrigation District and convert long-term

water service contracts for the

Frenchman-Cambridge, Bostwick in

Nebraska, Kansas-Bostwick, and

Almena irrigation districts. The

proposed action exercises the provisions

of several Federal laws applicable to

Reclamation.

ADDRESSES: Printed copies of a

Summary of the FEIS or the entire FEIS

(with appendices) may be obtained from

Office, P.O. Box 1607, Grand Island NE

public inspection and review on the

Internet at ‘‘www.gp.usbr.gov’’ in the

section for additional addresses where

the FEIS is available for public

The FEIS considers the effects of

renewing one long-term water service

contract and converting four long-term

water service contracts to repayment

contracts. The authority for contract

renewal and conversion is found in the

Act of July 2, 1956, 70 Stat. 483, and the

Act of June 21, 1963, 77 Stat. 68, which

requires the Secretary of the Department

of the Interior to renew long-term water

service contracts and to convert longterm water service contracts to

repayment contracts upon request.

Federally-developed impoundments

in the Republican River Basin have been

providing supplemental irrigation water

to the irrigation districts since 1956.

These irrigation districts include the

Almena, Bostwick, Frenchman Valley,

Frenchman-Cambridge, and KansasBostwick irrigation districts. The

original long-term water service

contracts had terms of 40 years and

began to expire in 1996. In order to

continue the rights and obligations of

the original contracts during the

contract renewal process, these

contracts were extended for an

additional four years as authorized by

Congress in the Irrigation Project

Extension Act of 1996, Public Law 104–

326.

The long-term water service contract

with the Frenchman Valley Irrigation

District will have a term of 40 years

beginning on January 1, 2001. The

repayment contracts with the Almena,

Bostwick, Frenchman-Cambridge, and

Kansas-Bostwick irrigation districts will

each have a repayment period of 40

years.

The FEIS evaluated six alternatives,

including the No Action Alternative and

a new Negotiated Alternative, and

described the environmental

consequences of contract renewal and

conversion. The following issues are

considered in the FEIS: water resources,

water quality, recreation, regional

income, environmental justice, reservoir

riparian vegetation, riverine riparian

vegetation, wetlands, threatened and

endangered species, avian and

terrestrial wildlife, migratory waterfowl,

aquatic resources, biodiversity, Indian

trust assets, cultural resources, sacred

sites, and cumulative impacts.
