Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 1997 / Notices 64885

(Specific quantities of water from the

VAMP Agreement and from willing

sellers are currently under negotiation

and will be identified in the EIS/EIR.)

Issues or resources that may be

affected by the proposed project that

will be evaluated in the EIS/EIR are the

following: surface water, groundwater,

biological resources (vegetation,

wildlife, fisheries), land use (including

agriculture), recreation, cultural

resources, and environmental justice.

Impacts to other resources would be

evaluated if public scoping determines

the need for such an evaluation.

Cumulative impacts and other shortterm and long-term impacts required by

CEQA and NEPA will be evaluated as

well.

The Draft EIS/EIR will analyze a range

of alternatives that include, but are not

limited to, the no-action alternative and

other flow regimes in support of VAMP

and related San Joaquin River flows

under Section 3406(b)(3). The impact

analysis may include combinations of

one or more alternatives as well as other

alternatives identified during the public

scoping process. Alternatives to the

proposed project have not yet been

identified and will depend upon the

results of public scoping. Alternatives to

be evaluated in depth in the EIS/EIR

need to be consistent with the project

purpose described above.

Dated: December 2, 1997.

Kirk C. Rodgers,

Deputy Regional Director.
