BILLING CODE 4310–DQ–M

Bureau of Reclamation

Draft Environmental Impact Report/

Environmental Impact Statement on

the Western Suisun Marsh Salinity

Control Project

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of cancellation.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation

(Reclamation) and the California

Department of Water Resources (DWR)

are canceling plans to continue work

under the National Environmental

Policy Act and the California

Environmental Quality Act on the

environmental impact report/

environmental impacts statement (EIR/

EIS) for the Western Suisun Marsh

Salinity Control Project (Project), Plan of

Protection for the Suisun Marsh, Phases

III and IV. The EIR/EIS is being

cancelled because it is unlikely that

additional large-scale facilities are

necessary for controlling salinity in the

Suisun Marsh due to the provisions in

the December 1994 draft Delta water

quality control plan.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Will Keck, Mid-Pacific Region, Bureau

of Reclamation, Attention: MP–401,

2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA

95825–1898; telephone: (916) 979–2321;

or Mr. Dwight P. Russell, Environmental

Services Office, California Department

of Water Resources, 3251 S Street,

Sacramento, CA 95816–7017; telephone:

(916) 227–7529.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice

of intent was published in 55 FR 47481,

Nov. 13, 1990. The Project was aimed at

lowering channel water salinity in the

western portion of the Suisun Marsh.

The construction of several ditches and

culverts were being studied as part of

the proposed action. With the release in

December 1994 of the draft Water

Quality Control Plan for the San

Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin

Delta Estuary, and DWR’s estimate of

resulting salinity conditions in the

Suisun Marsh, it is unlikely that

additional large-scale facilities will be

necessary for salinity control in the

Suisun Marsh. DWR and Reclamation

will evaluate if additional actions are

needed for meeting western Suisun

Marsh channel water salinity standards

after the Suisun Marsh Ecological Work

Group completes evaluating the basis

for Suisun Marsh standards and

recommends new standards.

Bette Craddock Pressler plans to

construct single-family residences on

Lots 1–6 on Red Bud Trail, West Lake

Hills, Austin, Travis County, Texas.

This action will eliminate less than onehalf acre of land and indirectly impact

less than one additional acres of goldencheeked warbler habitat per residence.

The applicant proposes to compensate

for this incidental take of goldencheeked warbler habitat by placing

$1,500 for each residence in the City of

Austin Balcones Canyonlands

Conservation Fund to acquire/manage

lands for the conservation of the goldencheeked warbler.

Alternatives to this action were
