Bureau of Reclamation

Josephine County Water Management

Improvement, Fish Passage

Improvements, Savage Rapids Dam,

Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of record

of decision.

SUMMARY: This notice is issued under

authority of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969. In 1988 Reclamation

initiated the Josephine County Water

Management Improvement Study in

response to requests by Josephine

County and the Grants Pass Irrigation

District (GPID). A record of decision

(ROD), in which Reclamation concluded

its study of alternatives to improve

salmon and steelhead passage, was

signed on March 14, 1997. The ROD

identified the Preferred Alternative,

described in the planning report/final

environmental statement (PR/FES), as

the most efficient and environmentally

sound alternative for providing safe

salmon and steelhead passage at Savage

Rapids Dam. Reclamation recommended

the Preferred Alternative of the GPID,

but it appears that they now wish to

pursue a different course of action. In

view of this, Reclamation will not

pursue congressional action to authorize

or fund implementation of the Preferred

Alternative identified in the PR/FES.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD may be

requested from the following locations:

Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific

Northwest Region, 1150 North Curtis

Road, Boise, ID 83706–1234

Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Columbia

Area Office, 825 NE Multnomah,

Suite 1110, Portland, OR 97232

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

J. Eric Glover (503) 872–2795.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

primary objectives of the Josephine

County Water Management

Improvement Study were to (1) identify

a permanent solution to salmon and

steelhead passage problems at Savage

Rapids Dam and (2) help resolve

conflicts over water uses in Josephine

County. A PR/FES focusing only on

salmon and steelhead passage concerns

at the dam and the associated diversion

facilities was filed on August 30, 1995.

In addition to the no action alternative,

two action alternatives were evaluated

in the PR/FES. The Pumping Alternative

was identified as the Preferred

Alternative and consists of three parts:

(1) Replacement of GPID pumping and

diversion facilities at the dam with two

new pumping plants, one each on the

north and south sides of the river; (2)

removal of the dam and appurtenant

structures and restoration of the sites;

and (3) forgiveness of remaining debt to

the Federal Government owed by GPID.

Dated: March 20, 1997.
