watersheds pursuant to the Federal 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). Chinook 

salmon and steelhead trout were 

similarly listed in 1997 and 1999, 

respectively. Through the proposed 

distribution, storage, and use of recycled 

water for agricultural purposes, the 

SCWA has identified a strategy to 

reduce reliance on diversions from the 

Russian River and other natural 

waterways. 

The use of recycled water for 

irrigation for agricultural purposes has 

been occurring in California since 1890 

(California Recycled Water Task Force 

2003). By the year 2000, there were 234 

wastewater treatment plants providing 

recycled water for agricultural and 

landscape purposes in California 

(California Recycled Water Task Force 

2003). Today, recycled water in 

California is being used for a variety of 

purposes, such as irrigation for row 

crops, vineyard, pasture, stock feed, 

nursery products, turf in parks and 

schoolyards, and landscaping. In 

Sonoma County, the City of Santa Rosa, 

Town of Windsor, and the AirportLarkfield-Wikiup Sanitation Zone 

currently provide recycled water for 

irrigation of about 7,200 acres of 

agricultural land. 

The SCWA regulates the flow of the 

Russian River for the benefit of 

agricultural, municipal, and instream 

beneficial uses. The use of recycled 

water and conjunctive use of surface 

and groundwater supplies within the 

SCWA service area are all important 

factors in evaluating the management of 

the regional water supply. SCWA 

believes the use of recycled water to 

offset surface and groundwater sources 

used by agricultural entities in the 

Russian River, Alexander, North 

Alexander, and Dry Creek valleys to 

benefit fisheries in the Russian River 

watershed. The recycled water would be 

used for agricultural purposes 

consistent with the California Code of 

Regulations, Title 22, pertaining to the 

use of tertiary-treated recycled water.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The USIBWC is considering raising 

the 12.0-mile Mission Levee System and 

the 5.3-mile Common Levee System to 

meet current flood control requirements. 

The proposed action would increase the 

height of the levee up to 8 feet 

depending on location. The height 

increase would also result in expansion 

of the levee footprint by lateral 

extension of the structure. Levee 

footprint increases for both the Mission 

and Common Levee systems would 

occur within the USIBWC right-of-way 

and extend primarily toward the 

riverside of the existing levee. Along 

sections of the Mission Levee System, 

structural improvements such as slurry 

walls may be required in segments with 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
14614 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 59 / Wednesday, March 28, 2007 / Notices 

seepage potential. In an approximate 1- 

mile reach, a mechanically stabilized 

earth structure would be built along the 

existing levee crown to avoid footprint 

extension beyond the existing right-ofway easements. A number of natural 

resources management areas are located 

near or adjacent to the levee system, 

including units of the Lower Rio Grande 

Valley Wildlife Refuge System and the 

Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. 

The Environmental Assessment 

assesses potential environmental 

impacts of the Proposed Action and the 

No Action Alternative. Potential 

impacts on natural, cultural, and other 

resources were evaluated and mitigation 

measures were incorporated into the 

Proposed Action. A Finding of No 

Significant Impact was issued for the 

Proposed Action based on a review of 

the facts and analyses contained in the 

Environmental Assessment. 

The USIBWC is authorized to 

construct, operate, and maintain any 

project or works projected by the United 

States of America on the Lower Rio 

Grande Flood Control Project (LRGFCP) 

as authorized by the Act of the 74th 

Congress, Sess. I Ch. 561 (H.R. 6453), 

approved August 19, 1935 (49 Stat. 660), 

and codified at 22 U.S.C. Section 277, 

277a, 277b, 277c, and Acts amendatory 

thereof and supplementary thereto. The 

LRGFCP was constructed to protect 

urban, suburban, and highly developed 

irrigated farmland along the Rio Grande 

delta in the United States and Mexico. 

The USIBWC, in cooperation with the 

TPWD, prepared this Final 

Environmental Assessment for the 

proposed action of raising the Mission 

and Common Levee Systems located in 

Hidalgo County, Texas to improve flood 

control. These two adjacent levee 

systems are part of the LRGFCP that 

extends approximately 180 miles from 

the Town of Pen ̃itas in south Texas to 

the Gulf of Mexico. The Mission Levee 

extends approximately 12 miles along 

the Rio Grande, downstream from the 

Town of Pen ̃itas. The Common Levee 

System, approximately 5.3 miles long, 

consists of the Common Levee and 

Anzalduas Dike, which connects the 

Common Levee to Anzalduas Dam.
