DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Truckee River Operating Agreement, 

California and Nevada 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability for a Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, (NEPA) and the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the 

U.S. Department of the Interior (Interior) 

and California Department of Water 

Resources (DWR), as co-lead agencies, 

have jointly prepared a Final EIS/EIR for 

the Truckee River Operating Agreement 

(TROA) which would implement 

section 205(a) of the Truckee-CarsonPyramid Lake Water Rights Settlement 

Act of 1990, Title II of Public Law 101–

618 (Settlement Act). The Final EIS/EIR 

has evaluated the proposed action 

(TROA Alternative), Local Water Supply 

Alternative, and No Action Alternative. 

Implementation of the proposed action 

would not result in any significant 

adverse environmental effects. A Notice 

of Availability of the Revised Draft EIS/ 

EIR was published in the Federal 

Register on August 25, 2004 (69 FR 

52303). The public review period on the 

Revised Draft EIS/EIR initially ended on 

October 29, 2004, but was extended to 

December 30, 2004. 

DATES: No Federal or State decision will 

be made on the proposed action until a 

minimum of 30 days after the release of 

the Final EIS/EIR. After this 30-day 

period, Interior and DWR will complete 

their respective Record of Decision 

(ROD) and Notice of Determination 

(NOD). The ROD and NOD will identify 

the action to be implemented. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Final EIS/EIR 

(compact disk or bound) may be 

obtained by writing to Kenneth Parr, 

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation),

TROA Background 

Section 205(a) of the Settlement Act 

directs the Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary), in conjunction with others, 

to negotiate an operating agreement 

governing operation of Federal Truckee 

River reservoirs and other specified 

matters. Interior, U.S. Department of 

Justice, States of California and Nevada, 

Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Sierra 

Pacific Power Company, Truckee 

Meadows Water Authority, and other 

entities in California and Nevada 

completed a negotiated agreement (i.e., 

Negotiated TROA) in February 2007. 

The Negotiated TROA is available as an 

appendix to the Final EIS/EIR or viewed 

at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/troa/. 

TROA would, in part, (1) enhance 

conditions for the threatened Lahontan 

cutthroat trout and endangered cui-ui in 

the Truckee River basin; (2) increase 

municipal and industrial (M&I) drought 

protection for Truckee Meadows (RenoSparks metropolitan area); (3) improve 

Truckee River water quality 

downstream from Sparks, Nevada; and 

(4) enhance instream flows and 

recreational opportunities in the 

Truckee River basin. At the time TROA 

takes effect, the Settlement Act provides 

that a permanent allocation between 

California and Nevada of water in the 

Lake Tahoe, Truckee River, and Carson 

River basins will also take effect. 

Allocation of those waters has been a 

long-standing issue between the two 

States; implementation of TROA 

resolves that issue. In addition, Section 

205 of the Settlement Act requires that 

TROA, among other things, implement 

the provisions of the Preliminary 

Settlement Agreement as modified by 

the Ratification Agreement (PSA) and 

ensure that water is stored in and 

released from Federal Truckee River 

reservoirs to satisfy the exercise of water 

rights in conformance with the Orr 

Ditch decree and Truckee River General 

Electric decree. PSA is a 1989 agreement 

between Sierra Pacific Power Company 

and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe to 

change the operation of Federal 

reservoirs and Sierra Pacific’s exercise 

of its Truckee River water rights to (1) 

improve spawning conditions for 

threatened and endangered fish species 

(cui-ui and Lahontan cutthroat trout) 

and (2) provide additional M&I water for 

Truckee Meadows during drought 

situations. Sierra Pacific’s obligations 

and associated water rights have since 

been assigned to the Truckee Meadows 

Water Authority (TMWA). 

Before TROA can be approved by the 

Secretary and the State of California, 

potential environmental effects of the 

agreement must be analyzed pursuant to 

NEPA and CEQA. Accordingly, Interior 

and DWR have jointly prepared a Final 

EIS/EIR for that purpose. A Draft EIS/ 

EIR based on an earlier draft agreement 

was initially prepared and released for 

public review in February 1998. 

Subsequently, ongoing negotiations 

substantially modified the proposed
