DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam (MIAD) 

Modification Project, Sacramento and 

El Dorado Counties, CA 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Final Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement/Environmental 

Impact Report (EIS/EIR). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act and the 

California Environmental Quality Act 

(CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation), the lead Federal agency 

and the Sacramento Area Flood Control 

Agency (SAFCA), the CEQA lead 

agency, have prepared a Final 

Supplemental EIS/EIR for the MIAD 

Modification Project. The Final 

Supplemental EIS/EIR contains 

responses to comments received on the 

Draft Supplemental EIS/EIR. 

A Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Supplemental EIS/EIR was published in 

the Federal Register on Friday, 

November 27, 2009 (74 FR 62346). The 

public review period on the Draft 

Supplemental EIS/EIR ended on January 

18, 2010. 

The MIAD Modification Project is a 

feature of the larger Folsom Dam Safety/ 

Flood Damage Reduction (DS/FDR) 

Project currently underway by 

Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps), and the Corps’ nonFederal sponsors, the Central Valley 

Flood Protection Board and SAFCA, to 

address hydrologic, static, and seismic 

issues at Folsom Dam and Reservoir. 

The analysis in the Folsom DS/FDR EIS/ 

EIR considered several methods to 

modify MIAD to achieve Reclamation’s 

risk standards for dam safety. 

Subsequent investigations have shown 

that the preferred alternative’s design 

approaches and construction techniques 

need to be changed to achieve 

Reclamation’s existing risk standards for 

dam safety. Specifically, the utilization 

of jet grouting to stabilize the 

foundation of MIAD will not meet 

Reclamation’s dam safety standards. 

The MIAD Supplemental EIS/EIR 

analyzes additional techniques to 

stabilize the MIAD foundation to meet 

the existing risk standards for dam 

safety. 

Additionally, the supplement 

addresses potential environmental 

effects associated with completing 

mitigation for the Folsom DS/FDR 

Project at the Mississippi Bar site. The 

two mitigation alternatives include the 

improvement of up to 80 acres of 

seasonal wetland and riparian habitat 

and the no action alternative. The 

environmental effects of the mitigation 

were not addressed in the previous 

environmental document as the location 

for mitigation had not been determined. 

DATES: SAFCA will complete a CEQA 

Findings on the Final Supplemental 

EIS/EIR within 30 days of the 

document’s release. No Federal decision 

will be made until 30 days after the 

release of the Final Supplemental EIS/ 

EIR. After this 30-day waiting period, 

Reclamation will complete a Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the MIAD 

modifications. A second ROD is 

anticipated for the habitat mitigation 

actions at Mississippi Bar. The RODs 

and CEQA Findings will identify the 

recommended action to be 

implemented, including any measures 

found necessary to avoid, reduce, or 

mitigate any significant adverse project 

effects. 

ADDRESSES: Send requests for a compact 

disk or a bound copy of the Final 

Supplemental EIS/EIR to Mr. Matthew 

See, Bureau of Reclamation, 7794 

Folsom Dam Road, Folsom, CA 95630 

(e-mail: msee@usbr.gov; telephone: 916– 

989–7198). The MIAD Final 

Supplemental EIS/EIR will also be 

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

ID=3472. 

See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section for locations where copies of the 

Final Supplemental EIS/EIR are 

available for public review.

Matthew See at 916–989–7198, TDD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Folsom Facility consists of 12 structures 

(dams and dikes), that impound the 

American River forming Folsom 

Reservoir. As part of their 

responsibilities, Reclamation and the 

Corps have determined that the Folsom 

Facility requires structural 

improvements to increase overall public 

safety above existing conditions 

including addressing dam safety and 

security issues. Both Reclamation and 

the Corps share in the responsibility of 

ensuring that the Folsom Facility is 

maintained and operated under their 

respective agency dam safety 

regulations and guidelines, as defined 

by Congress. The improvements will 

enhance the facility’s ability to reduce 

flood damages posed by hydrologic 

(flood), seismic (earthquake), and static 

(seepage) events. These events have a 

low probability of occurrence in a given 

year; however, due to the large 

population downstream of Folsom Dam, 

modifying the facilities is prudent and 

necessary to improve public safety 

above current baseline conditions and 

meet current safety standards.

24966 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 87 / Thursday, May 6, 2010 / Notices 

Reclamation has identified the need 

for expedited action to reduce 

hydrologic, static, and seismic risks 

under its Safety of Dams (SOD) Program 

and security issues under its Security 

Program. These identified risks are 

among the highest risks for all dams in 

Reclamation’s inventory, and the 

Folsom Facility is among Reclamation’s 

highest priorities within its SOD 

Program. Both Reclamation and the 

Corps have conducted engineering 

studies to identify potential corrective 

measures for the Folsom Facility to 

alleviate seismic, static, and hydrologic 

dam safety issues and flood 

management concerns. These two 

Federal agencies have combined their 

efforts resulting in (1) a Joint Federal 

Project for addressing Reclamation’s 

dam safety hydrologic risk and the 

Corps’ flood damage reduction 

objectives and (2) other stand-alone 

flood damage reduction and dam safety 

actions to be completed by the 

respective agencies in a coordinated 

manner. The MIAD Modification Project 

Final Supplemental EIS/EIR discusses 

the project background, purpose and 

need, project description, and proposed 

action. Responses to all comments 

received from interested organizations 

and individuals on the Draft 

Supplemental EIS/EIR during the public 

review period and at the public 

meetings are addressed in the Final 

Supplemental EIS/EIR. 

The Final Supplemental EIS/EIR 

addresses the impacts of project 

construction on aquatic resources, 

terrestrial vegetation and wildlife, 

hydrology, water quality, flood control, 

groundwater, water supply, 

socioeconomics, cultural resources, 

soils, minerals, geological resources, 

visual resources, transportation and 

circulation, land use, planning and 

zoning, recreation resources, public 

services and utilities, air quality, public 

health and safety, growth inducement, 

noise, environmental justice, and Indian 

trust assets. There is the potential for 

significant impacts to air quality, 

recreation resources, and visual 

resources. 

The MIAD Modification Project 

proposed action considered by the lead 

agencies is the alternative that includes: 

• Cellular open excavation as the 

preferred method to excavate and 

replace the downstream MIAD 

foundation to reduce seismic 

(earthquake) risks associated with the 

downstream foundation. 

• Placement of an overlay on the 

downstream side of MIAD to address 

seismic (earthquake) risks associated 

with the upstream foundation and 

installation of filters and drains to 

reduce static (seepage and piping) risks. 

• Creation of up to 80 acres of 

riparian habitat mitigation and 5 acres 

of seasonal wetland mitigation at 

Mississippi Bar.
