OMB Control Number: 0583–0154. 

Summary of Collection: FSIS has been 

delegated the authority to exercise the 

functions of the Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 

and 2.53), as specified in the Federal 

Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 

601, et seq.), the Poultry Products 

Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et 

seq.), and the Egg Products Inspection 

Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). 

These statutes mandate that FSIS 

protect the public by verifying that 

meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, 

wholesome, and properly labeled. 

Need and Use of the Information: SIP 

offers incentives to meat and poultry 

slaughter establishments to control 

Salmonella in their operations. SIP does 

this by granting waivers of regulatory 

requirements with the condition that 

establishments test for Salmonella, 

Campylobacter (if applicable), and 

generic E. coli or other indicator 

organisms and share all sample results 

with FSIS. SIP benefits public health 

because it encourages establishments to 

test for microbial pathogens, which is a 

key feature of effective process control.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need 

The primary purpose of the watershed 

plan is to provide for long-term, 

sustainable agricultural water 

management within the Rattlesnake 

Creek subbasin, including project 

components to address the impairment 

at Quivira NWR. GMD–5 has been 

awarded federal funding from NRCS 

through the Watershed Protection and 

Flood Prevention Act (Pub. L. 83–566, 

16 U.S.C. 1001–1008—referred to as PL– 

566 in this document) to provide for 

long-term, sustainable agricultural water 

management within the Rattlesnake 

Creek subbasin of GMD–5, including 

project components to help address the 

impairment at Quivira NWR. The 

project is essential for the Quivira 

NWR’s ongoing senior water right 

impairment (as described below), and 

the importance of groundwater to the 

agricultural economy. The sustainability 

of Quivira NWR relies on surface water 

diversions that the KDA Division of 

Water Resource (KDA–DWR) has 

deemed impaired due to junior 

groundwater pumping. A predictable 

and consistent source of water is also 

required to support the region’s 

agricultural economy. Providing longterm agricultural water management for 

the region would help provide water 

resources for both the agricultural 

economy and help remedy Quivira 

NWR’s impaired senior water right. 

A project will be developed through 

the preparation of the EIS that would 

assure a water supply for Quivira NWR 

while considering and minimizing 

economic impacts to the surrounding 

agricultural economy. In the state of 

Kansas, the use of water is monitored 

and regulated by KDA–DWR. 

Individuals that use the state water 

resources for any purpose other than 

domestic use is required to obtain a 

permit, or ‘‘water right.’’ The state 

regulates the water use under the prior 

appropriation doctrine, which provides 

priority access to individuals with older 

(or senior) water rights during water 

shortages as opposed to individuals 

with newer (or junior) water rights. The 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 248 / Thursday, December 28, 2023 / Notices 89657 

state does not guarantee the availability 

of a certain amount of water. The water 

right holder is entitled to the authorized 

amount while considering seniority and 

the natural availability of water and 

entitled to divert water at times when it 

is most beneficial. Impairment could 

still occur because sufficient water is 

unavailable when the water is most 

beneficial, even though it is available on 

an annual basis. The 22,135 acre 

Quivira NWR is located at the 

northeastern end of the subbasin and 

Rattlesnake Creek flows through the 

refuge before discharging into the 

Arkansas River. The USFWS holds 

Water Right File Number 7,571 for the 

management of Quivira NWR. This 

water right, which is senior in priority 

to approximately 95 percent of all other 

water rights in the Rattlesnake Creek 

subbasin, has been impaired frequently 

over the past 20 years as determined by 

the KDA Chief Engineer. 

Surface water and groundwater are 

essential resources to the central Kansas 

economy and environment. 

Management of the Rattlesnake Creek 

subbasin and its interrelated water 

resources has been difficult and 

complex because it involves 

administration of multiple users of a 

limited resource. The resource is relied 

upon for ecosystem sustainability 

(through management of surface water 

at the Quivira NWR; Recreational use) 

and for irrigated agriculture (through 

groundwater pumping), all of which are 

of equal importance in Kansas. To 

regulate water use, the state of Kansas 

uses a system of water rights, which 

dictates when and how much water may 

be diverted by users. 

GMD–5 can assist the state of Kansas 

with the management of groundwater 

through various options. KDA–DWR has 

determined that surface water flows 

have been insufficient to support 

management practices at Quivira NWR 

during certain years and periods within 

those years because of the reductions in 

streamflow caused by groundwater use. 

Finding an agreeable solution that 

balances the needs of the Quivira NWR 

while limiting impacts to agriculture 

has been challenging. 

Preliminary Proposed Action and 

Alternatives 

The objective of the EIS is to 

formulate and evaluate alternatives for 

agricultural water needs and 

augmentation of wellfield and 

associated pipeline of water to 

Rattlesnake Creek upstream of Quivira 

NWR. This EIS is expected to evaluate 

three alternatives: two action 

alternatives, and one no action 

alternative. The alternatives that may be 

considered for detailed analysis include: 

• Alternative 1—Proposed Action— 

Augmentation Wellfield and 

Groundwater Use Reduction 

Alternative: The proposed action is to 

construct an augmentation wellfield and 

associated pipeline that provides 15 to 

18 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water 

to Rattlesnake Creek upstream of 

Quivira NWR. Additionally, 2,500 acres 

of targeted water right retirements and 

compensated conservation measures 

would be implemented. Finally, the 

proposed action would implement a 

multi-stakeholder adaptive management 

approach that would evaluate the 

success of the augmentation wellfield, 

water right retirements, and 

compensated conservation measures on 

an annual basis, and decrease pumping 

or increase groundwater retirements as 

needed to meet the Quivira NWR 

management goals and objectives. 

• Alternative 2—No Action 

Alternative: Taking no action predicts 

USFWS, the senior water right holder in 

the basin, will file a request to secure 

water with KDA–DWR for the 

impairment finding to the Quivira NWR 

if the project were not authorized and 

implemented under the PL–566 

program. KDA–DWR would then 

administer the water right consistent 

with Kansas Statutes Annotated 82a706b, which would restrict junior water 

right irrigation within the basin for 

irrigated crops. The decrease in 

irrigation will have severe negative 

effects to the local agricultural economy 

and agricultural producers due to 

decreased crop yields. 

• Alternative 3—Groundwater Use 

Reduction Alternative: The groundwater 

use reduction alternative would rely 

solely on reductions in groundwater use 

without development of an 

augmentation wellfield to increase 

Rattlesnake Creek streamflow. The 

groundwater use reduction alternative 

would incorporate the establishment of 

either a local enhancement management 

area (LEMA) or an intensive 

groundwater use control area (IGUCA). 

Either a LEMA or an IGUCA would 

implement measures to reduce 

groundwater use to avoid an 

impairment to the senior water right 

held by the USFWS. This alternative 

would allow GMD–5 to develop or 

initiate groundwater reduction measures 

prior to KDA–DWR enforcement; 

whereas the no-action alternative could 

potentially lead to water enforcement 

activities that are determined by KDA– 

DWR. 

Summary of Expected Impacts 

The following affected environment 

categories had the largest comparative 

difference and are heavily weighted in 

the proposed action alternative selection 

process. 

• Aquifers and Sole Source Aquifers; 

• Environmental Justice and 

Socioeconomic Status; 

• Surface Water Resources and Water 

Quality; and 

• Riparian Area. 

All three alternatives have beneficial 

impacts to Rattlesnake Creek and 

Quivira NWR. The modeling data shows 

that all three alternatives will meet 

USFWS’s water right. However, the 

Augmentation Wellfield and 

Groundwater Use Reduction Alternative 

would have the most immediate 

beneficial impact to Rattlesnake Creek 

and Quivira NWR following 

construction of the augmentation 

wellfield. Additionally, the Quivira 

NWR water needs would be met by 

engaging the augmentation wellfield 

pumps rather than relying on rainfall 

and climate conditions. 

The No Action and Groundwater Use 

Reduction alternatives both resulted in 

a reduction in irrigation pumping that 

provides beneficial impacts outside of 

Rattlesnake Creek and Quivira NWR 

that include benefits to the local aquifer, 

surface water resources, and riparian 

areas. The reduction in irrigation 

pumping that causes an increase in 

Rattlesnake Creek flow and available 

water to Quivira NWR results in benefits 

to the local aquifer, and in effect, the 

surrounding streams, wetlands, and 

riparian areas. These effects benefit fish 

and wildlife resources including 

wildlife habitat and potentially 

threatened and endangered species 

outside of Quivira NWR. The human 

environment is improved by having a 

diversity of species and increased water 

resources in a relatively dry climate. 

Though the Augmentation Wellfield 

and Groundwater Used Reduction 

Alternative includes a reduction in 

irrigation pumping (2,500 acre-feet per 

year), the primary water source is 

augmentation wellfield pumping. There 

are minimal beneficial impacts to areas 

outside Rattlesnake Creek and Quivira 

NWR compared to the No Action and 

Groundwater Use Reduction 

alternatives. 

Under the No Action and 

Groundwater Use Reduction 

alternatives, the reduction in irrigation 

pumping comes at a significant cost to 

the regional economy and has a negative 

impact on low-income populations. In 

summary, the analysis showed the 

following for each alternative based on 

different crop scenarios:

1See https://sam.gov/content/assistance-listings. 

• No Action Alternative: Net farm 

income under this alternative would 

decrease between $6.1 million and 

$12.1 million, annually, as compared to 

existing conditions. 

• Augmentation Wellfield and 

Groundwater Use Reduction 

Alternative: Net farm income under this 

alternative would increase between $6.0 

million and $11.8 million annually, 

relative to the No Action Alternative 

and would decrease between $0.1 

million and $0.3 million annually, as 

compared to existing conditions. 

• Groundwater Use Reduction 

Alternative: This alternative would lead 

to a reduction in net farm income of 

between $586,000 and $788,000 

annually, relative to the No Action 

Alternative and would be a decrease of 

$5.5 million and $11.3 million annually, 

as compared to existing conditions. 

Anticipated Permits and Authorizations 

The following permits and 

authorizations are anticipated to be 

required: 

• Clean Water Act Section 404. A 

Clean Water Act section 404 permit 

must be obtained from the USACE to 

account for fills within jurisdictional 

waters of the United States (WOTUS). If 

needed, GMD–5 will obtain a Clean 

Water Act section 404 permit prior to 

construction. 

• Endangered Species Act Section 7. 

GMD–5 is currently developing a 

Biological Assessment (BA) to support 

ESA section 7 consultation with the 

USFWS. 

• National Historic Preservation Act 

(NHPA) Section 106. A Cultural 

Resources Inventory Report will be 

prepared and submitted to the Kansas 

State Historic Preservation Office 

(SHPO) for concurrence. Based on 

results in the report, the Kansas SHPO 

will make a determination on whether 

the project may affect cultural resources 

that are either listed on or eligible for 

listing in the National Register of 

Historic Places (NRHP). 

• State Sensitive Species. GMD–5 

will consult with the Kansas 

Department of Wildlife and Parks 

(KDWP) for activities that may affect 

state threatened or endangered species. 

If needed, the KDWP is required to issue 

special action permits for activities that 

may affect these species or statedesignated critical habit. 

• National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System and Storm Water 

Pollution Prevention Plan. A 

construction site discharge permit 

(NPDES) is required by the KDHE on 

behalf of the EPA if a construction site 

footprint is greater than 1 acre. 

Construction of the Proposed Action 

would involve more than 1 acre of 

disturbance; therefore, a Stormwater 

Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will 

be developed to minimize pollution 

from soil erosion and other sources 

during construction. 

• Construction Permits. Any 

construction permits required from 

Stafford County will be obtained prior 

to construction. 

Schedule of Decision-Making Process 

A Draft EIS (DEIS) will be prepared 

and circulated for review and comment 

by agencies, Tribes, consulting parties, 

and the public for at least 45 days as 

required by 40 CFR 1503.1, 1502.20, 

1506.11, and 1502.17, and 7 CFR 

650.13. The DEIS is anticipated to be 

published in the Federal Register, 

approximately 6 months after 

publication of this NOI. A Final EIS is 

anticipated to be published within 6 

months of completion of the public 

comment period for the DEIS. 

NRCS will decide whether to 

implement one of the alternatives as 

evaluated in the EIS. A Record of 

Decision will be completed after the 

required 30-day waiting period and will 

be publicly available. The responsible 

Federal official and decision maker for 

the NRCS is the Kansas NRCS State 

Conservationist. 

Public Scoping Process 

Federal, State, Tribal, local agencies 

and representatives, and the public were 

invited to take part in this watershed 

plan scoping period through which 

coordination, sought input on issues of 

economic, environmental, cultural, and 

social importance in the watershed. 

An open house public meeting was 

held January 13, 2022, from 4–6 p.m. in 

the Community Room at the Stafford 

County Annex in St. John, Kansas. The 

purpose of the meeting was to share 

information about the watershed 

planning process and to gather feedback 

from the public on how to improve 

agricultural water supply and fish and 

wildlife habitat within the Rattlesnake 

Creek Watershed in Stafford County. 

Approximately 31 people signed into 

the meeting. 

Public notices advertising the meeting 

were published in the Great Bend 

Tribune, Hutchinson News, Stafford 

Courier, Pratt Tribune, and Saint John 

News newspapers. Postcard invitations 

were sent to approximately 775 citizens 

and other interested parties near the 

proposed project area. A meeting notice 

was also published on the GMD–5’s 

website. 

Information shared at the meeting 

included the project background and 

location, project purpose and need, 

description of the purpose of and 

process for developing a watershed 

plan, environmental considerations 

within the project area, organizational 

information about the NRCS and GMD– 

5, and methods for providing public 

input. Draft scoping information and an 

executive summary were also provided 

at the meeting. 

The project team received 11 

comments during the specified 30-day 

comment period (December 29, 2021, 

through January 31, 2022). 

Identification of Potential Alternatives, 

Information, and Analyses 

NRCS invites agencies, Tribes, 

consulting parties, and individuals that 

have special expertise, legal 

jurisdiction, or interest in the 

Rattlesnake Creek Watershed project to 

provide comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis and identification of 

potential alternatives, information, and 

analyses relevant to the Proposed 

Action in writing. 

NRCS will coordinate the scoping 

process to correspond with any required 

NHPA processes, as allowed in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3) and 800.8 (54 U.S.C. 

306108). The information about historic 

and cultural resources within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

Rattlesnake Creek project will assist 

NRCS in identifying and evaluating 

impacts to such resources in the context 

of both the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and NHPA. 

NRCS will consult with Native 

American tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with 36 

CFR 800.2 and 800.3, Executive Order 

13175, and other policies. Tribal 

concerns, including impacts on Indian 

trust assets and potential impacts to 

cultural resources and historic 

properties, will be given due 

consideration.
