for the royalty oil. Form MMS–4070,

Application for the Purchase of Royalty

Oil, is submitted by refiners interested

in purchasing royalty oil in accordance

with instructions in the Notice, and

with instructions issued by MMS for

completion of the form. The information

collected is used by MMS to determine

if the applicant meets eligibility

requirements to contract to purchase

royalty oil. Information collected also

provides a basis for the allocation of

available royalty oil among qualified

refiners. Applicants are required to

submit a letter of intent from a qualified

financial institution stating that the

applicant will be granted surety

coverage for the royalty oil. The letter of

intent must accompany Form MMS–

4070.

The Government’s administration of

the royalty oil program is aided

significantly by the collection of

information requested on Form MMS–

4070. Form MMS–4070 is used to

determine the eligibility of refiners

wishing to enter into contracts to

purchase royalty oil. The form requires:

(1) The name and address of the

applicant;

(2) Number of persons employed by

applicant’s firm (offshore sale only);

(3) A disclosure of any affiliation with

other companies;

(4) Capacity and location of the

applicant’s refineries;

(5) Identification of contract numbers

(if any) under which the applicant

currently receives royalty oil;

(6) Preference eligibility request;

(7) Locations where the applicant

proposes to purchase royalty oil, and

the volume of oil requested;

(8) Authorized signature attesting to

the accuracy of information supplied;

and

(9) Name of the preparer.

Activity in the RIK program depends

on the number of refiners expressing a

need for supplies of oil and the

Secretary authorizing a sale of royalty

oil. We estimate that the annual burden

to the industry is 25 hours, assuming

that an RIK sale will occur, that 20

applicants will submit Form MMS–

4070, and that each application requires

approximately 1 hour to prepare and 1⁄4

hour for associated recordkeeping (20

applicants × 11⁄4 hours=25 burden

hours).

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

Contra Costa Water District MultiPurpose Pipeline Project, Contra Costa

County, California

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare a

draft environmental impact statement

and notice of scoping meeting.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA), the Bureau of Reclamation

(Reclamation) proposes to prepare a

draft environmental impact statement

(DEIS) for Contra Costa Water District’s

(CCWD) Multi-Purpose Pipeline (MPP)

Project.
46372 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 169 / Tuesday, September 2, 1997 / Notices

The Proposed Action is the

construction and operation of two water

pipelines and supporting pumping

facilities. These facilities are required to

supplement the Contra Costa Canal and

provide adequate water transmission

capacity to meet the projected demand

through the year 2020.

The purpose of the meeting is to

receive comments regarding the

appropriate scope of the DEIS. CCWD

staff will make a brief presentation to

describe the proposed project, its

purpose and need, alternative pipeline

alignments, and scenarios for

construction and operation. The public

may comment on the environmental

issues to be addressed in the DEIS. If

necessary due to large attendance,

comments will be limited to 5 minutes

per speaker. Written comments will also

be accepted by the District through

September.

DATES: A scoping meeting is scheduled

for the project on Saturday, September

18, 1997, at 7:00 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting will be

held at the Bay Point Ambrose

Community Center, 3105 Willow Pass

Road, Bay Point, California. Information

on the scoping meeting and the DEIS

may be obtained from Mr. Steve

Edmondson, Bureau of Reclamation,

South-Central California Area Office,

2666 North Grove Industrial Drive, Suite

106, Fresno, CA 93727.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Steve Edmondson, Bureau of

Reclamation, (209) 487–5049; or Ms.

Christina Ko Hartinger, Contra Costa

Water District, (510) 688–8335.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CCWD’s

MPP Project involves the following

improvements:

1. Multi-Purpose Pipeline. The multipurpose pipeline is a capacity

improvement project for meeting year

2020 system demands of CCWD’s raw

water system. The MPP would

supplement the capacity of the Contra

Costa Canal (which carries raw water)

with a treated water pipeline extending

approximately 22 miles from CCWD’s

Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant in

Oakley, east to CCWD’s Treated Water

Service Area in Concord. The MPP

would terminate near CCWD’s Bollman

Water Treatment Plant near Concord.

This new treated water pipeline

paralleling the canal would free up

canal capacity for raw water

transmission. Under normal operations,

the MPP would convey treated water

westward to CCWD’s Treated Water

Service Area. In an emergency, the MPP

could also carry treated water eastward

from CCWD’s Bollman Water Treatment

Plant. The 25-million-gallons-per-day

(mgd) pipeline would be 36 inches in

diameter and approximately 22 miles

long. CCWD is evaluating several

pipeline route alternatives including:

the canal right-of-way, local streets, and

an active railroad corridor.

2. Raw Water Pipeline. The MPP

Project also includes approximately 4

miles of 36-inch raw water pipeline (36

mgd) bypassing canal reach 4 from

downstream of the Neroly Blending

Facility to the canal near Antioch. The

raw water pipeline could be installed

parallel and adjacent to the MPP

pipeline. The raw water pipeline is

sized to meet the year 2020 canal

demands through the existing tunnel

segment within canal reach 4.

3. Treated Water Pump Station. The

MPP Project includes a proposed 25-

mgd pump station at the Randall-Bold

Water Treatment Plant to pump treated

water from the plant through the multipurpose pipeline. No treatment plant

capacity improvements are required for

the MPP.

4. Raw Water Pump Station. The MPP

Project includes a 36-mgd raw water

pump station that would be located

downstream of the Neroly Blending

Facility and upstream of the tunnel. The

pump station would pump raw water

from the Canal through the raw water

pipeline.

5. Canal Gate Improvements and

Neroly Blending Facility Improvements.

The MPP Project includes modifications

to six of the seven active check

structures along the canal between

pumping plant No. 4 and Mallard

Reservoir at Bollman Water Treatment

Plant. At each check structure, CCWD

would install motorized gates that could

be opened during periods of high flow

rates, thereby increasing canal capacity.

The Neroly Blending Facility (an incanal facility to blend Delta water and

water from the Los Vaqueros Reservoir)

would be expanded by widening the

canal or raising the sides.

6. Back-up Power for MPP Treated

Water Pump Station. As part of the MPP

Project, the District would install an

emergency generator for the firm

capacity (four 1,000-horsepower pumps)

at the MPP treated water pump station.

7. MPP Enhancements. The District

would construct emergency connections

from the MPP to the canal and to the

shortcut pipeline, thereby allowing the

MPP to deliver water to functional

portions of the canal that may be

disconnected from eastern supply

sources during an emergency such as an

earthquake. In addition, these

connections could be used to

temporarily supply treated water to the

canal while portions of the canal are out

of service for maintenance.

These actions will be evaluated in

accordance with the legislative

requirements of NEPA and other

relevant regulations. CCWD is preparing

an environmental impact report (EIR) on

the project, pursuant to the California

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
