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
59730 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 1997 / Notices

facilities on the American and

Sacramento rivers. A new pipeline

would be constructed to convey the

water to the City’s E.A. Fairbairn Water

Treatment Plant and to a point on FSC.

Water for EBMUD would then be

conveyed from that point through FSC

to its terminus, where a new pipeline

would be constructed to convey the

water to EBMUD’s Mokelumne

Aqueducts.

The DEIR/DEIS describes the

environmental effects of taking delivery

of water under EBMUD’s contract from

the FSC and from the lower American

River near its confluence with the

Sacramento River. Emphasis is directed

toward potential effects related to

American River fisheries, endangered

species, Central Valley Project water

users, pipeline construction, and

biological resources in the EBMUD

service area.

on the DEIR/DEIS will be held as

Proposed Orange County Regional

Water Reclamation Project (OCR

Project), Orange County, California

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI) to prepare

a draft environmental impact statement

(EIS) and notice of scoping meetings.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to

prepare a draft EIS on the proposed

Orange County Regional Water

Reclamation Project, Orange County,

California. Reclamation proposes to

partially fund this joint project with the

Orange County Water District (OCWD)

and County Sanitation Districts of

Orange County (CSDOC).

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Two formal

scoping meetings in connection with

preparation of the draft EIS are

scheduled to be held as follows:

November 18, 1997–3:00 to 4:30 p.m.

and 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., Orange County

Water District, 10500 Ellis Avenue,

Fountain Valley, California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Orange County Water District (OCWD)

and the County Sanitation Districts of

Orange County (CSDOC) propose to

develop an advanced water treatment

plant, pipeline and related facilities

within the Cities of Fountain Valley,

Santa Ana, Orange, Garden Grove, and

Anaheim. The OCR Project will further

process water from the County

Sanitation Districts of Orange County.

The water from CSDOC, which is

typically discharged into the ocean, will

be treated through a sophisticated,

advanced water treatment process that

will include microfiltration, reverse

osmosis and disinfection. The

mirofiltration process uses a series of

microscopically fine filters to remove

fine particles, nitrogen, salts, and

organic matter that might be in the

water. The water from this advanced

treatment process will be of better

quality than the current water that is

infiltrated into the groundwater basin

from the Santa Ana River and will

surpass (be cleaner and better than) the

drinking water standards set by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, the

California Department of Health

Services and other healths and

regulatory agencies.

The water from this process will be

piped to injection wells to create a

barrier against saltwater intrusion and to

spreading fields for infiltration into the

groundwater basin. The OCR Project

will provide a new, reliable water

supply to meet increased demands for

potable water within the OCWD service

area and continue to protect the existing

groundwater from further contamination

from seawater intrusion. OCR Project

water will also be used to supplement

the existing Green Acres Project which

uses recycled water for landscape

irrigation and industrial applications.

The project will help reduce the

dependency on the uncertain water

supplies currently received from
