Availability of Final Environmental

Impact Statement for the Greybull

Valley Irrigation District Dam and

Resevoir Project

AGENCIES: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior, and U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, Defense.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS) for the Greybull Valley Irrigation

District Dam and Reservoir Project for

public review and comment.

SUMMARY: The FEIS for a proposal from

the Greybull Valley Irrigation District

(GVID) to construct, operate, and

maintain a 150-foot-high zoned-earth

embankment dam and an associated

33,470 acre-foot impoundment in an

unnamed drainage south of Roach

Gulch, a tributary of the Greybull River,

on public lands in Park County,

Wyoming, is available for public review.

The FEIS was prepared by WEST, Inc.,

a third-party contractor for the Bureau

of Land Management (BLM) and the

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)

under the provisions of Section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended.

The FEIS supplements the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS),

providing additional information,

changes, and corrections to the DEIS.

DATES: Written comments concerning

the analysis will be accepted for 30 days

following the date the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) publishes the

notice of filing of the FEIS in the

Federal Register, which is expected to

be on September 19, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the DEIS and the

FEIS may be reviewed at the following

locations: Worland District BLM Office,

101 South 23rd Street, (contact Don

Ogaard, BLM Project Manager),

Worland, WY; Wyoming State BLM

Office, 5353 Yellowstone Road,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GVID

proposes to construct a 150-foot-high

zoned-earth embankment dam in an

unnamed drainage south of Roach

Gulch, a tributary of the Greybull River,

in Park County, Wyoming. This dam

would impound 33,470 acre-feet of

water, inundating about 700 acres of

public lands. The GVID’s purpose and

need for the proposal is primarily to

provide early and late season water for

irrigated crops and to allow better

overall regulation of their system. The

DEIS also studied an alternative location

in Blackstone Gulch, another tributary

of the Greybull River, as well as the ‘‘No

Action’’ Alternative, under which no

dam would be built.

The FEIS is not a decision document.

The FEIS supplements the DEIS,

providing additional information,

changes, and corrections to the DEIS, as

well as responses to comments received

on the DEIS. The FEIS does not reiterate

those sections of the DEIS which were

not changed; therefore, the reader must

have a copy of the DEIS to use the FEIS.

The BLM’s Preferred Alternative

remains Alternative B, Proposed Action,

as modified by the mitigation described

in Chapter 5 of the DEIS. The COE does

not identify a Preferred Alternative at

this time.

Before GVID may construct the

project, it must obtain Federal, State,

county, and local permits. Because the

reservoir would inundate public land

administered by the BLM, GVID must

obtain a Right-of-Way Grant from the

Federal Government. A permit under

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to

conduct operations in a Water of the

United States, issued by COE, would

also be required. As part of the process

for granting the permits, these agencies

must consider GVID’s proposal under

NEPA. The agencies will accept public

comment on the FEIS for 30 days from

the date of publication of EPA’s Notice

of Filing. At this time, comments will be

most helpful if they focus on any

remaining technical or factual errors in

the final analysis, and factors the

agencies should consider in reaching a

decision. The BLM’s and the COE’s

decisions will be documented in

Records of Decision which could be

issued anytime after the 30-day public

comment period.

Comments, including names and

street addresses of respondents will be

available for public review at the

Worland District Office, 101 South 23rd

Street, Worland, WY, during regular

business hours (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

Monday through Friday, except

holidays. Individual respondents may

request confidentiality. If you wish to

withhold your name or address from

public review or from disclosure under

the Freedom of Information Act, you

must state this prominently at the

beginning of your comments. Such

requests will be honored to the extent

allowed by law. All submissions from

organizations or businesses, and from

individuals identifying themselves as

representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, will be

made available for public inspection in

their entirety.

Conveyance of Mineral Interests in

California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of segregation.

SUMMARY: The private land described in

this notice, aggregating 441.32 acres, is

segregated and made unavailable for

filings under the general mining laws

and the mineral leasing laws to

determine its suitability for conveyance

of the reserved mineral interest

pursuant to section 209 of the Federal

Land Policy and Management Act of

October 21, 1976. The mineral interests

will be conveyed in whole or in part

upon favorable mineral examination.

The purpose is to allow consolidation of

surface and subsurface of minerals

ownership where there are no known

mineral values or in those instances

where the reservation interferes with or

precludes appropriate nonmineral

development and such development is a

more beneficial use of the land than the

mineral development.

Upon publication of this Notice of

Segregation in the Federal Register as

mineral interests owned by the United

States in the private lands covered by

the application shall be segregated to

the extent that they will not be subject

to appropriation under the mining and

mineral leasing laws. The segregative

effect of the application shall terminate

by publication of an opening order in

the Federal Register specifying the date

and time of opening; upon issuance of

a patent or other document of

conveyance to such mineral interest; or

two years from the date of publication

of this notice, whichever occurs first.
