18860 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 28, 2012 / Notices 

B. State Water Project Facilities 

The Department of Water Resources 

operates and maintains the SWP, which 

delivers water to agricultural and 

municipal and industrial (M&I) 

contractors in northern California, the 

San Joaquin Valley, the Bay Area, the 

Central Coast, and southern California. 

• SWP water is stored and reregulated in Lake Oroville and released 

into the Feather River, which flows into 

the Sacramento River. 

• SWP water flows in the Sacramento 

River to the Delta and is exported from 

the Delta at the Banks Pumping Plant. 

The Banks Pumping Plant lifts the water 

into the California Aqueduct, which 

delivers water to the SWP contractors 

and conveys water to the San Luis 

Reservoir. 

• The SWP also delivers water to the 

Cross-Valley Canal, when the systems 

have capacity, for CVP water service 

contractors. 

VI. Alternatives To Be Considered 

The proposed action for the purposes 

of NEPA will consider operational 

components of the 2008 USFWS and the 

2009 NMFS Reasonable and Prudent 

Alternatives. These components address 

continued operation of the CVP, in 

coordination with the SWP, in a manner 

intended to avoid jeopardizing 

continued existence of federally listed 

species or result in the destruction or 

adverse modification of designated 

critical habitat. 

• We expect to analyze flow 

management actions resulting from the 

2008 USFWS Reasonable and Prudent 

Alternative that affect: 

(1) Protection of adult, juvenile, and 

larval delta smelt; and 

(2) Habitat improvements for delta 

smelt growth and rearing. 

• We expect to analyze flow 

management actions resulting from the 

2009 NMFS Reasonable and Prudent 

Alternative that affect: 

(1) Attraction and channel 

maintenance flows; 

(2) Reduction of thermal stress; 

(3) Passage of fish at Red Bluff 

Diversion Dam; 

(4) Reduction of redd dewatering, 

entrainment, and straying; and 

(5) Reduction of negative hatchery 

influences on natural populations. 

The proposed action will not 

consider: 

• Structural changes prescribed in the 

NMFS 2009 Reasonable and Prudent 

Alternative that would require future 

evaluations, environmental 

documentation, and permitting; and 

• Reasonable and Prudent Alternative 

actions that would require future 

studies. 

As required by NEPA, we will 

develop and consider a proposed action 

and a reasonable range of alternatives, 

including a No Action Alternative. 

Reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action may include physical changes or 

changes in operations of CVP facilities. 

Alternatives could affect all or various 

components of the CVP, and may also 

include actions that affect SWP 

operations. We will engage with the 

Department of Water Resources in 

developing the proposed action and 

alternatives. We will also consider 

including in the alternative analysis 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action identified through the scoping 

process. 

VII. Statutory Authority 

NEPA [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] requires 

that Federal agencies conduct an 

environmental analysis of their 

proposed actions to determine if the 

actions may significantly affect the 

human environment. In addition, as 

required by NEPA, Reclamation will 

analyze in the EIS the potential direct, 

indirect, and cumulative environmental 

effects that may result from the 

implementation of the proposed action 

and alternatives, which may include, 

but are not limited to, the following 

areas of potential impact: 

a. Water resources, including 

groundwater; 

b. Land use, including agriculture; 

c. Socioeconomics; 

d. Environmental justice; 

e. Biological resources, including fish, 

wildlife, and plant species; 

f. Cultural resources; 

g. Water quality; 

h. Air quality; 

i. Soils, geology, and mineral 

resources; 

j. Visual, scenic, or aesthetic 

resources; 

k. Global climate change; 

l. Indian trust assets 

m. Transportation; and 

n. Recreation. 

VII. Request for Comments 

The purposes of this notice are: 

• To advise other agencies, CVP and 

SWP water and power contractors, 

affected tribes, and the public of our 

intention to gather information to 

support the preparation of an EIS; 

• To obtain suggestions and 

information from other agencies, 

interested parties, and the public on the 

scope of alternatives and issues to be 

addressed in the EIS; and 

• To identify important issues raised 

by the public related to the development 

and implementation of the proposed 

action. 

We invite written comments from 

interested parties to ensure that the full 

range of alternatives and issues related 

to the development of the proposed 

action are identified. Comments during 

this stage of the scoping process will 

only be accepted in written form. 

Written comments may be submitted by 

mail, electronic mail, facsimile 

transmission or in person (see 

ADDRESSES). Comments and 

participation in the scoping process are 

encouraged. 

IX. Public Disclosure 

Before including your name, address, 

phone number, email address or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
