Keechelus Dam Safety of Dams

Modification, Yakima Project,

Washington

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability and notice

of public hearings for the Keechelus

Dam Safety of Dams Modification,

Yakima Project, Washington, draft

environmental impact statement.

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

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended, the

Department of the Interior, Bureau of

Reclamation (Reclamation), has

prepared a draft environmental impact

statement (Draft EIS) to examine the

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 238 / Monday, December 11, 2000 / Notices 77391

impacts of alternatives to correct safety

deficiencies identified at Keechelus

Dam. Reclamation proposes to modify

the existing dam to return full capacity

to Keechelus Lake.

The preferred alternative of modifying

the dam would provide for the safe

operation of Keechelus Dam and also

maintain benefits from Keechelus Lake

that include meeting existing

contractual commitments for storage

space for irrigators within the Yakima

Project and controlling seasonal

downstream flooding.

The DEIS describes and analyzes the

impacts of four alternatives that would

correct safety deficiencies at Keechelus

Dam, as well as the No Action

Alternative. This Draft EIS assesses the

impacts of the interim restriction,

implemented in November 1998 to

protect public safety, as the No Action

Alternative.

DATES: Written comments on the Draft

EIS must be received no later than

February 9, 2001, at the address listed

in ADDRESSES section below.

On Thursday, January 18, 2001, two

public hearings will be held to accept

oral comments on the Draft EIS in

Ellensburg, Washington. Each public

hearing will be proceeded by an

informal open house where exhibits can

be viewed and discussed with agency

managers and staff. The first will begin

with an informal open house from 12:30

to 2 p.m., followed by the formal public

hearing from 2 to 4:00 p.m. The second

will begin with a 5:30 to 7 p.m. informal

open house, followed by a formal public

hearing from 7 to 9 p.m. The facilities

are physically accessible to people with

disabilities.

Please contact Mr. Kaumheimer (see

below) for sign language interpretation

for the hearing impaired or other

auxiliary aids by January 10, 2001, so

arrangements can be made.

ADDRESSES: The open houses and public

hearings will be held at the Ellensburg

Inn, 1700 Canyon Road, Ellensburg,

Washington, telephone (509) 925–9801.

Written comments on the Draft EIS

should be submitted to Mr. Dave

Kaumheimer, UCA–1600, Bureau of

Reclamation, Upper Columbia Area

Office, 1917 Marsh Road, Yakima, WA

98901; or by fax (509) 454–5611.

Our practice is to make comments,

including names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public

review. Individual respondents may

request that we withhold their home

address from public disclosure, which

we will honor to the extent allowable by

law. If you wish us to withhold your

name and/or address, you must state

this prominently at the beginning of

your comment. We will make all

submissions from organizations or

businesses, and from individuals

identifying themselves as

representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, available

for public disclosure in their entirety.

See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section for locations where copies of the

DEIS are available for public review and

inspection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Dave Kaumheimer at (509) 575–5848,

extension 232. Those wishing to obtain

a copy of the Draft EIS in the form of

a printed document or on compact disk

(CD–ROM with reader included) or a

Summary of the Draft EIS may contact

Mr. Kaumheimer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Keechelus

Dam was completed in 1917 as part of

Reclamation’s Yakima Project, storing

Yakima River water in central

Washington for irrigation of part of

443,400 acres of prime farmland and for

flood control. Recent investigations

have shown that the wooden railroad

trestle, used to deliver earth material

and rocks while constructing the dam,

has deteriorated, forming vertical paths

where earthen materials within the dam

can move, leaving voids in the dam.

Examination of the seepage problems

indicates the material is internally

unstable and is subject to failure, with

an associated potential for loss of life

and property downstream. Because of

the deficiencies identified, Keechelus

Lake has been operated at a restricted

pool elevation 7 feet below normal full

pool elevation 2,517 feet since

November 1998, with increased

monitoring and surveillance at the dam.

The Safety of Dams Act of 1978 (Pub.

L. 95–578) and amendments of 1984

(Pub. L. 98–404) authorize the Secretary

of the Interior to analyze existing

Reclamation dams for changes in the

state-of-the-art criteria and additional

hydrologic and seismic data developed

since the dams were constructed. For

dams where a safety concern exists, the

Secretary is authorized to modify the

structure to ensure its continued safety.

Section 3 of the Safety of Dams Act

states that construction authorized by

the act shall be for dam safety and not

for specific purposes of providing

additional conservation storage capacity

or developing benefits over and above

those provided by the original dams and

reservoirs.
