the past several years and the project is

now ready to move forward under the

CEQA/NEPA process. The Secretary of

the Interior has identified this as a high

priority project and action is being

expedited due to the worsening

conditions at the Sea. Over 200,000

birds have died at the Sea over the past

six years as a result of the current

conditions. Reclamation and the

Authority will be working closely with

interested Congressional members and

other stakeholders to develop possible

solutions.

A Research Management Committee

(Committee) has been established of

high-level managers from the U.S.

Department of the Interior, Authority,

State of California, and the Torres

Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians. This

Committee makes funding and other

relevant decisions regarding science to

be funded to support the CEQA/NEPA

process. A Science Subcommittee

(Subcommittee) has been established to

serve as an advisory committee to

provide scientific evaluations and

recommendations to the Committee.

The Subcommittee functions as a

coordinated body to determine

information gaps, identify science/

information needs, and provide the

Committee with recommendations for

funding priorities regarding the science

activities.

The draft EIR/EIS is expected to be

completed by the end of December

1999.
