Notice of availability for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the San Juan Creek Watershed/ 

Western San Mateo Creek Watershed 

Special Area Management Plan 

(SAMP), Orange County, CA 

AGENCY: Department of Defense, 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers, Los Angeles District 

Regulatory Branch. 

ACTION: Notice of availability for a Draft 

EIS. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Regulatory Branch has 

completed a Draft EIS for the San Juan 

Creek Watershed/Western San Mateo 

Creek Watershed Special Area 

Management Plan (SAMP). The San 

Juan Creek Watershed/Western San 

Mateo Creek Watershed SAMP 

establishes three alternative permitting 

procedures that balance aquatic 

resource protection and reasonable 

economic development for the San Juan 

Creek Watershed and Western San 

Mateo Creed Watershed. 

DATES: Written comments received by 

January 16, 2006, will be considered by 

the Corps in decision making for the 

Final EIS. The public hearing for the 

Draft EIS will be held on December 6, 

2005 at the City of San Juan Capistrano 

Center Community Center at 25925 

Camino del Avion, San Juan Capistrano. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jae Chung, Project Manager, Regulatory 

Branch, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

P.O. Box 532711, Los Angeles, 

California 90053–2325, (213) 452–3292, 

yong.j.chung@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the 

Corps is authorized to issue permits for 

activities that discharge dredged and/or 

fill materials into waters of the U.S., 

including wetlands, for roads, 

developments, utilities, and other 

activities. For the San Juan Creek and 

Western San Mateo Creek Watersheds, 

the Corps is proposing a watershedbased SAMP to balance aquatic resource 

protection and reasonable economic 

development. The SAMP is an 

improvement over the current 

incremental case-by-case approach, 

which does a less effective job of taking 

a watershed perspective of aquatic 

resources and considering the needs of 

future permit applicants. The SAMP 

involves characterizing aquatic resource 

conditions and processes through the 

watershed, establishing alternative 

permitting procedures more appropriate 

for the given aquatic resources in the 

watershed, and developing a 

coordinated aquatic resources 

management framework.
