59728 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 1997 / Notices

been addressed in the following section

and/or other sections of this document.

Clarifications requested through

written comments: The NPS would

consider boat access areas inside and

outside the boundary that serve the

recreational rivers as replaceable if

substantial access was lost as a result of

sediment aggradation in the river.

Ramps lost outside the recreational river

boundary could be replaced within the

boundary. Examples of access areas

serving the recreational rivers that are

lost, or threatened are the Missouri

River access areas at Springfield and

Running Water, South Dakota, and

Niobrara, Nebraska.

The NPS decision to not actively

promote recreational use on the river

was based on input of the Federal

Advisory Commission in consultation

with the Secretary of the Interior during

the development of the plan, by local

representatives on the planning team,

and by comments received from the

general public during the planning

process. The Wild and Scenic Rivers

Act, Section 10(a) allows for

‘‘management plans for any such

component’’ to ‘‘establish varying

degrees of intensity for its protection

and development, based on the special

attributes of the area.’’ In this case the

NPS feels there are legitimate safety

concerns resulting from shifting sand

bars and a significant increase in power

boat use on the Missouri National

Recreational River. Canoeing danger

exists from the high winds that frequent

the area and the width of the river.

While the NPS has agreed not to

actively promote increased use there is

recognition in the plan that increased

use may occur as the result of actions

taken by others. As long as those actions

do not threaten river resources or add

significant visitor numbers to the river

NPS will act to guide such growth rather

than restrict it.

While local governments clearly have

existing local law enforcement

responsibilities and cooperative

relations will be sought, all references to

law enforcement in the final plan

should be understood to mean that the

NPS will not delegate Federal law

enforcement responsibilities with

respect to the water surfaces and on

lands it owns, or other inherently

Federal responsibilities as described in

the statutes related to the administration

of the National Park System, the Wild

and Scenic Rivers Act, and the Act

establishing the Missouri/Niobrara/

Verdigre Creek National Recreational

Rivers.

The COE has purchased flood

easements on some of the periodically

flooded land along the Missouri and

Niobrara rivers. This land remains in

private landownership but the COE

possesses the right to flood the land.

The NPS would not affect the easement

relationship between private

landowners and the COE. Neither would

the NPS boundary alter the payments

under the Payment in Lieu of Taxes Act.

The periodically flooded land is

included within the boundary not

because it is COE easement land but

because of its contribution to fish and

wildlife habitat.

Currently the Yankton Sioux Tribe is

challenging the size and location of its

reservation boundary. When a final

outcome is determined the NPS will

honor the final court decision. Until that

time any NPS management actions

within the disputed area will be

minimal and dependent on cooperative

agreement with private landowners and

the Yankton Sioux Tribe.

The recreational river boundary maps

depicted in the final GMP include

public lands such as the USFWS Karl

Mundt National Wildlife Refuge, as well

as easement lands. The Vicinity/Study

Area map on page 5 inadvertently

portrayed USFWS easement land as a

part of the refuge. That easement is not

part of the Karl Mundt Refuge and

should not have been portrayed as such

on that map. The maps on pages 29, 49,

61, 73, and 87 accurately portray the

easement land but the arrow points to

it as a part of the Karl Mundt Refuge.

That arrow should have been pointing

to the lower section that is a part of the

refuge and not to the easement land.

The maps in the final GMP/EIS are

designed to be general and for

orientation purposes only, and have no

formal standing. When the official

boundary map for this unit is published

the above mentioned errors will be

corrected.

Selection of the preferred alternative:

All of the action alternatives for

management of the rivers are considered

acceptable from an environmental

standpoint. The boundaries vary with

each alternative and preference was

placed on the alternatives that included

significant wetlands and bottomlands.

The preferred alternative was selected

because it is considered the most

effective alternative for meeting the

legislative intent of protecting river

values and maintaining the existing

economic uses along the river. This

alternative will require a minimum of

Federal land acquisition, which is

consistent with legislative intent. The

selected alternative is not expected to

have any significant adverse effects on

natural or cultural values in the

recreational river boundaries.

Bureau of Reclamation

East Bay Municipal Utility District

Supplemental Water Supply Project,

California

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability and notice

of public hearing of the Draft

Environmental Impact Report/Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/

DEIS).

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of

1969 (as amended) and the California

Environmental Policy Act (CEQA), the

East Bay Municipal Utility District

(EBMUD) and the Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation) have

prepared a DEIR/DEIS for the proposed

Supplemental Water Supply Project in

Sacramento and the Bay Area service

areas. Public hearings will be held in a

number of sessions to receive oral or

written comments on the DEIR/DEIS by

interested parties, organizations, and

individuals.

DATES: Public comments on the DEIR/

DEIS should be submitted on or before

January 5, 1998. See Supplementary

Information section for public hearing

dates and addresses.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the

DEIR/DEIS, requests for copies of the

DEIR/DEIS, and requests to speak at the

hearing should be addressed to Ms. Ann

Reis, EBMUD P.O. Box 24055, Oakland,

CA 94623–1055.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

additional information, please contact

Mr. Kurt Ladensack, EBMUD, (510)

287–1197; or Mr. Roderick Hall,

Reclamation, (916) 989–7279.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EBMUD

currently holds a contract with

Reclamation, signed in 1970, for

delivery of up to 150,000 acre-feet per

year from the existing Folsom South

Canal (FSC). The existing contract

specifies a delivery location at an

existing turnout structure near Grant

Line Road in Sacramento County. The

proposed action is for EBMUD to obtain

a supplemental water supply to assist in

reducing customer deficiencies during

droughts, and providing system

reliability and to allow EBMUD to make

use of its existing contract with

Reclamation for delivery of water from

the American River. Two primary

alternatives are under consideration,

and alternate project configurations of

one of these primary alternatives also

are being considered.

The first alternative is an EBMUDonly project that involves deliveries

from the American River via FSC to a

new pipeline connection between FSC

in south Sacramento County and

EBMUD’s Mokelumne Aqueducts in San

Joaquin County. Alternate project

alternatives under consideration involve

pipeline connections from the turnout

location described above, which would

not require an amendment of the

existing water service contract, and from

the terminus of FSC, which would

require an amendment of the water

service contract.

The second alternative involves a

joint project between EBMUD, the City

of Sacramento (City), and the County of

Sacramento (County). Under this project

alternative, water for EBMUD and the

County would be delivered through a

new intake location on the American

River near its confluence with the

Sacramento River. Water for the City

would be diverted under existing

entitlements through an expansion of

existing diversion and treatment
