DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

South Coast Conduit Secondary 

Pipeline, Santa Barbara County, 

California 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement/ 

environmental impact report (EIS/EIR). 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and the Cachuma 

Operation and Maintenance Board 

(COMB) are planning to prepare a 

combined EIS/EIR for the proposed 

construction of a second pipeline 

adjacent to the South Coast Conduit 

(SCC) between the South Portal of the 

Tecolote Tunnel (SPTT) and the Corona 

Del Mar Water Treatment Plant 

(CDMWTP) for the purposes of 

increasing the operational flexibility, 

reliability, and the conveyance capacity 

of the SCC, accommodating peak 

demand levels, and allowing 

maintenance of the pipeline. 

The project site is located in Glen 

Annie Canyon, north of the City of 

Goleta, in Santa Barbara County, 

California. The project site encompasses 

the area surrounding the existing SCC 

between the SPTT and the CDMWTP. 

DATES: Reclamation and COMB will 

hold a scoping meeting to seek public 

input on topics, issues, and alternatives 

to be considered in the EIS/EIR. The 

scoping meeting will be held on May 17, 

2007 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Santa 

Barbara, California. 

Send written comments on the scope 

of alternatives and impacts to be 

considered to Mrs. Laura Myers at the 

below address by close of business 

Friday, June 15, 2007 

ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting will be 

held at the COMB office, 3301 Laurel 

Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, California. 

Send written comments on the scope 

of the EIS/EIR to Mrs. Laura Myers, 

Bureau of Reclamation, 1243 N Street, 

Fresno, California 93721. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. 

Laura Myers, Reclamation, at the above 

address, (559) 487–5179 or Mr. Brett 

Gray, Cachuma Operations and 

Maintenance Board, 3301 Laurel 

Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93105–

2017; telephone: (805) 687–4011, fax: 

(805) 569–5825. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

increase in operational flexibility, 

reliability, and capacity are intended to 

accommodate peak demand levels and 

to allow maintenance of the pipeline. 

The limitations and age of the original 

equipment, significant system 

modifications, and increased demands 

constrain the ability of the SCC to 

function at the system’s original design 

capacity. Because of these limitations, 

COMB is forced to rely on water stored 

in Lauro, Ortega, and Carpinteria 

reservoirs to meet regional water needs. 

In addition, no redundant supply or 

pipeline exists to convey Cachuma 

Project water or State Water Project 

(SWP) water to the South Coast if the 

Tecolote Tunnel or the Upper Reach of 

the SCC is out of service due to 

scheduled and/or unexpected repairs. 

As the Upper Reach of the SCC has 

the largest demand deficit and is located 

upstream from the sources of demand, 

the proposed action would allow more 

water flow farther along the pipeline to 

improve the level of service and 

reliability. The proposed action would 

also provide COMB the ability to 

perform regularly scheduled inspections 

and maintenance to one pipeline while 

the second is operational. Operational 

flexibility would increase due to the 

ability to provide higher flow rates to 

CDMWTP and increased flow rates to 

facilities downstream of the CDMWTP 

during times of peak demands. The total 

amount of water delivered per year, 

however, would not increase. 

Potential alternatives include 

different alignments of the pipeline 

which would still meet the purpose and 

need, as well as pumping structures and 

or disinfection facilities. A no action 

alternative would include construction 

of site improvements and operational 

activities that could occur without 

issuance of Federal permits. 

The EIS/EIR will evaluate the 

potential impacts of the project on 

Indian Trust Assets (ITAs), which are 

held in trust by the U.S. Government for 

Indian Tribes or individual Tribal 

members. Potential ITAs include water 

rights, lands, minerals (i.e., oil, gas, 

sand), and hunting and fishing rights. 

If special assistance is required for 

these meetings, please contact Mrs. 

Laura Myers at (559) 487–5179. Please 

notify Mrs. Myers as far in advance of 

the meeting as possible to allow 

Reclamation to secure the needed 

services. If a request cannot be honored, 

the requester will be notified. A 

telephone device for the hearing 

impaired (TDD) is available at 916–978–

5608.
