Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 179 / Monday, September 20, 2021 / Notices 52133 

Additional Water Storage Project 

remains the same as the original EIS: To 

successfully pass migrating juvenile fish 

downstream. 

The 1998 EIS evaluated a fish passage 

facility generally consisting of a floating 

fish collector. In their 2019 Biological 

Opinion (BiOp) for HAHD operations 

and maintenance, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) established 

survival criteria and transport pipe exit 

release location criteria that must be met 

by any fish passage facility for the 

project. In order to meet these criteria, 

the USACE has redesigned the 

downstream fish passage component of 

the project. In this SEIS, the USACE will 

evaluate implementation of downstream 

fish passage via a fixed multiport 

collection structure that would allow 

fish collection from a set of five intake 

ports at multiple elevations as the 

reservoir water level changes. Once 

collected through the multiport 

structure, fish would be transported 

downstream using one or more steep 

bypass pipes. The SEIS will evaluate 

and provide supplemental analysis, as 

applicable, on any impacts generated by 

the modification of the downstream fish 

passage component of the recommended 

alternative to the quality of the human 

environment not identified and 

evaluated in the August 1998 Final EIS. 

Evaluation may extend, for example, to 

potential changes in the study area to 

aquatic habitat, different species listed 

under the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA) in the study area, potential 

changes to the geological analysis 

associated with the construction of a 

fish passage facility, potential impacts 

to natural resources during 

construction, including elevated noise 

and disturbance to fish and wildlife at 

HAHD from rock blasting and operation 

of construction equipment, potential 

effects to cultural and historical 

resources, and temporary effects to 

water quality and aquatic habitat from 

construction. 

As identified in the original EIS, 

USACE continues to propose 

monitoring to determine whether the 

facility provides safe downstream 

passage for fish. Once operational, the 

fish passage facility is expected to have 

significant benefits to ESA-listed 

salmonids thereby benefiting the 

ecosystem of the entire Green River 

watershed, as well as increasing a 

primary food source for the endangered 

Southern Resident killer whales. The 

anticipated authorizations required 

prior to construction are expected to 

include a BiOp from the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, a Clean Water Act 

Section 401 Water Quality Certification, 

concurrence from the Washington 

Department of Ecology on a Coastal 

Zone Management Act Consistency 

Determination, and consultation under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act. 

The SEIS will follow the same process 

and format as the original EIS (i.e., draft, 

final, updated record of decision 

(ROD)), except that scoping is not 

required. The original EIS and other 

project documents are available online 

at https://www.nws.usace.army.mil/ 

Missions/Environmental/ 

Environmental-Documents/. 

The draft SEIS will be made available 

for public and agency review and 

comment, which is expected to occur in 

October 2021. After public review of the 

draft SEIS and evaluation of the 

comments received, USACE will 

promulgate a final SEIS; this is expected 

to occur in 2022. 

Comments or questions concerning 

this proposed action can be directed to 

the USACE contacts listed above.
