The terms and conditions of the

proposed long-term water service and

repayment contracts represent

Reclamation’s preferred alternative

described as the Negotiated Alternative

in the FEIS. The Negotiated Alternative

combines features of the Irrigation and

Multi-Use alternatives that are designed

to continue delivery of irrigation water

and maintain limited reservoir

recreation and fisheries. When

compared to the No Action Alternative,

there are no significant environmental,

socioeconomic, or agricultural impacts

associated with the Negotiated

Alternative. The current operations of

some of the reservoirs will be modified

to establish a new minimum pool

elevation to benefit reservoir recreation

and fisheries.

Ten Indian tribes, the Mni-SOSE

Intertribal Water Rights Coalition, and

the Bureau of Indian Affairs, have been

contacted regarding Indian trust assets

that may be affected by the proposed

action. No potentially-affected Indian

trust assets have been identified.

The DEIS was issued on October 14,

1999. Responses to comments received

from agencies, interested organizations,

and individuals on the DEIS are

addressed in the FEIS. No decision will

be made on the proposed action until 30

days following the release of the FEIS.

Following the 30-day waiting period,

Reclamation will complete and sign a

Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD will

describe the action to be implemented

and will discuss factors contributing to

that decision.
