BILLING CODE 4210–29–M

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Office of the Assistant Secretary of

Water and Science

Central Utah Project Completion Act

Notice of Availability of the Record of

Decision on the Provo River Restoration

Project Final Environmental Impact

Statement documenting the Department

of Interior’s approval for the Utah

Reclamation Mitigation and

Conservation Commission to proceed

with the construction of the Proposed

Action Alternative.

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary—Water and Science,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the

Provo River Restoration Project Record

of Decision.

SUMMARY: On April 1, 1998, Patricia J.

Beneke, Assistant Secretary—Water and

Science, Department of the Interior,

signed the Record of Decision (ROD)

which documents the selection of the

Proposed Action Alternative (Riverine

Habitat Restoration Alternative) as

presented in the Provo River Restoration

Project Final Environmental Impact

Statement (FEIS), MC FES 97–01, filed

December 23, 1997. The ROD approves

the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and

Conservation Commission (Mitigation

Commission) proceeding with

construction of the Provo River

Restoration Project (PRRP) and

authorizes Department of the Interior

agencies to assist the Mitigation

Commission with this project. The

Department of the Interior and the

Mitigation Commission served as the

Joint Lead Agencies in the preparation

of the NEPA compliance documents.

The FEIS for the PRRP considered

three action alternatives (including the

Proposed Action), as well as the No

Action Alternative, for river restoration.

The Assistant Secretary determined that

the Proposed Action Alternative

provides the greatest amount of

mitigation and enhancement benefit

among all alternatives considered.

Construction of the PRRP will restore

a more natural steam channel along

about 10 miles of the Provo River

between Jordanelle Dam and Deer Creek

Reservoir through the Heber Valley in

Wasatch County, Utah. The project will

fulfill Interior’s environmental

commitments made in the U.S. Bureau

of Reclamation’s 1987 Final Supplement

to the Final Environmental Impact

Statement, Municipal and Industrial

System of the Bonneville Unit, Central

Utah Project (INT FES 87–8). These

commitments are now binding upon the

Mitigation Commission. The selected

alternative will fulfill the environmental

commitments by: acquiring lands in

public ownership along the Provo River

thereby increasing public access for

angling and other low impact recreation,

restoring aquatic habitats to increase

game fish populations, eliminating fish

migration barriers and aquatic habitat

impacts currently associated with

operating irrigation diversion facilities,

and providing public management of

newly acquired lands to maximize

public recreation benefits.

During preparation of the FEIS, the

Mitigation Commission consulted

formally on listed species with the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under

section 7 of the Endangered Species Act

(16 U.S.C.A. Sections 1531 to 1544, as

amended). In a letter dated December

10, 1997, the FWS indicated that the

Proposed Action Alternative selected by

this ROD is not likely to adversely affect

listed or proposed species or designated

or proposed critical habitats. Interior

and the Mitigation Commission will

continue to consult with FWS prior to

and during construction to avoid actions

that may affect proposed or listed

species, or their proposed or designated

critical habitat.
