Termination of the Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the 

Proposed Regional Watershed Supply 

Project in Wyoming and Colorado 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U. S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Omaha District, Regulatory 

Branch is notifying interested parties 

that it has terminated the process to 

develop a Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS) and has withdrawn 

the Section 404 Clean Water Act permit 

application for the proposed ‘Regional 

Watershed Supply Project’ submitted in 

2008 by a private water development 

entity known as Million Conservation 

Resource Group (MCRG). The original 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

Friday, March 20, 2009 (74 FR 11920), 

with subsequent amended 

announcements on May 8, 2009 (74 FR 

21665) and August 11, 2009 (74 FR 

40171). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions regarding the termination of 

this EIS process should be addressed to 

Ms. Rena Brand, Project Manager, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Denver 

Regulatory Office, 9307 S. Wadsworth 

Blvd., Littleton, CO 80128–6901; (303)– 

979–4120; mcrg.eis@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After the 

initial public scoping process in 2009, 

the Corps received 7,409 substantive 

comments related to the applicant’s 

proposal to construct a 558 mile water 

pipeline from Flaming Gorge Reservoir 

in Southwest Wyoming to a terminating 

storage reservoir near Pueblo, Colorado, 

designed to supply up to 250,000 acre 

feet of water annually to various 

municipal and agricultural entities in 

Eastern Wyoming and the Front Range 

of Colorado. A common concern 

expressed dealt with the need for the 

water, what entities would be using the 

water, and for what purposes. On April 

1, 2011, MCRG expressed to the Corps 

that they wished to change the primary 

purpose of the project to power 

generation. When the EIS process 

started in 2009, it was understood that 

the project purpose was water supply, 

so all EIS work done to date, to include 

public scoping was related to that 

purpose. The project now has an 

uncertain and variable purpose, which 

technically makes the applicant’s permit 

application incomplete. Additionally, 

Corps’ regulations require that 

applicants be provided sufficient time to 

respond to requests from the Corps for 

information, normally not to exceed 

30 days. At the close of a recent 60-day 

stop work request by MCRG, the Corps 

decided to withdraw the permit 

application, as MCRG did not officially 

respond with a decision about how the 

EIS was to proceed, as requested by the 

Corps. The Corps decided that now is 

the appropriate time to officially 

terminate the EIS. The Corps’ neutral 

role in this EIS process was to evaluate 

the environmental consequences of 

proposed projects such as these under 

authority of Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act. The preparation of the EIS 

was being conducted by a third-party 

contractor directed by the Corps, and 

funded by the permit applicant, which 

is typical of Corps Regulatory EIS 

studies. Withdrawal of the permit 

application and termination of the EIS 

process will not prevent MCRG from reapplying at a later date, and will not 

affect other ongoing Corps water supply 

studies along the Colorado Front Range.
