DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army; Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Boise River 

General Investigation Feasibility Study, 

Ada and Canyon Counties, in the State 

of Idaho 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) intends to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Boise River General Investigation 

Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study 

will evaluate alternatives to reduce 

flood risk and meet current and future 

water supply needs in the lower Boise 

River watershed. To the extent feasible, 

the study will also seek to provide 

ancillary ecosystem restoration benefits, 

minimize impacts to species listed 

under the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), including 

bull trout, and minimize socioeconomic 

effects. The Feasibility Study will focus 

on the lower Boise River, a tributary to 

the Snake River, which is located in 

southwestern Idaho, primarily in Ada 

and Canyon Counties. The non-federal 

sponsor for this effort is the Idaho Water 

Resources Board. 

Almost 40 percent of Idaho residents 

live in the Boise River watershed, with 

one-sixth of the State’s population 

residing in the floodplain. Communities 

and development along the Boise River 

have experienced repeated minor 

flooding, and flood risk management 

experts emphasize that a significant 

flood event with major flood damage 

will likely occur in the future. The Boise 

River watershed has recently 

experienced the most significant growth 

in the State and continuing to meet 

current and future water needs is a 

major concern for residents and state/ 

local officials. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments on the 

alternatives or scope of analysis for the 

EIS to Mr. Tim Fleeger, Project Manager, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla 

Walla District, CENWW–PM–PD–PF, 

201 North Third Avenue, Walla Walla, 

WA 99362. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for further information should 

be directed to Mr. Tim Fleeger by phone 

at (509) 527–7247 or by email at 

BoiseGI@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This study 

was authorized by Section 414 of the 

Water Resources Development Act of 

1999 (Pub. L. 106–53) as amended by 

Section 4038 of the Water Resources 

Development Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 100– 

114). Collectively, these two acts grant 

the Corps authority to conduct a study 

to determine the feasibility of 

undertaking flood risk management, 

water supply and ecosystem restoration 

on the Boise River. The Idaho Water 

Resources Board is authorized to study 

solutions for water supply and flood 

risk management, but is not authorized 

to expend funds studying ecosystem 

restoration. Therefore, the proposed 

Feasibility Study is focused on reducing 

flood risk and meeting current and 

future water supply needs along the 

Boise River, while seeking incidental 

environmental benefits to the extent 

feasible. 

The Boise River is approximately 102 

miles in length, is located entirely 

within the State of Idaho, and is one of 

the major tributaries to the Snake River. 

The lower Boise River watershed (the 

focus of the Feasibility Study) contains 

the Boise River drainage from Lucky 

Peak Dam to its confluence with the 

Snake River in southwest Idaho 

(roughly 64 miles). The lower Boise 

River floodplain encompasses primarily 

Ada and Canyon Counties, and includes 

the cities of Boise (state capital), Garden 

City, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa, 

Middleton, Caldwell, Notus, and Parma. 

The Boise metropolitan area is the third 

largest in the Pacific Northwest after 

Seattle, Washington and Portland, 

Oregon. 

The Boise River is highly regulated. 

Natural flows are modified by the three 

Federal storage projects on the upper 

river which are jointly operated by the 

Corps (Lucky Peak Dam) and the Bureau 

of Reclamation (Arrowrock and 

Anderson Ranch Dams) as a system for 

the primary purposes of flood risk 

reduction and irrigation water supply. 

Additional project facilities include 

Lake Lowell, an offstream storage 

reservoir operated by the Bureau of 

Reclamation, and numerous diversion 

canals that are federally or privately 

operated. Operation of the Federal 

reservoirs is a balancing act between 

reducing flood risk and having 

sufficient irrigation water for crops by 

mid-late summer. Recreation, 

hydropower, and general fish and 

wildlife functions are secondary 

authorized purposes. Water is not 

released for these purposes unless 

reservoir storage space is assigned for 

that specific purpose. A non-continuous 

series of non-Federal levees line the 

Boise River through developed areas in 

downtown Boise, Garden City and 

Eagle. A few are inspected through the 

Corps’ Levee Safety Program, but the 

majority are unregulated and not 

maintained. 

Complex, interconnected surface 

water and aquifer systems supply 

current water uses in the valley which 

includes irrigation and domestic, 

commercial, municipal, and industrial 

(DCMI) uses. Natural flow, stored 

surface water, and ground water are 

reused in multiple locations across the 

valley through a network of drains and 

direct discharge into the river. Surface 

water supplies an estimated 90 percent 

of the current DCMI water demand. 

Approximately 77 percent of the annual 

Boise River flow occurs as snowpack 

runoff during the March to July period. 

The Corps will evaluate alternatives 

for their ability to reduce flood risk and 

provide water supply to the region. The 

preliminary range of alternatives will 

include, but is not limited to the 

following: 

• No Action; 

• Modification of Arrowrock Dam to 

provide additional flood risk 

management and water supply; 

• Modification of Arrowrock Dam 

along with downstream structural 

modifications, non-structural measures, 

and modifications to existing 

undeveloped lands to reduce effects 

from localized flooding; 

• Manage aquifer recharge to address 

future water supply along with 

downstream structural modifications, 

non-structural measures, and
