DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

North San Pablo Bay Restoration and 

Reuse Project 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Report and 

Environmental Impact Statement (Final 

EIR/EIS). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the California Environmental Quality 

Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation), the Federal lead agency, 

and Sonoma County Water Agency 

(SCWA), acting as project administrator 

of the North Bay Water Reuse Authority 

(NBWRA) and the State lead agency, 

have prepared a Final EIR/EIS for the 

implementation of the North San Pablo 

Bay Restoration and Reuse Project 

(Project), also referred to as the North 

Bay Water Recycling Program. 

The purpose of the Project is to create 

a regional wastewater reuse project to 

provide recycled water for agricultural, 

urban, and environmental uses and to 

promote the expanded beneficial use of 

recycled water in the North Bay region. 

In this way, water demand issues and 

wastewater discharge issues of the 

region can be addressed in an integrated 

and synergistic manner. Implementation 

of the Project would include upgrades to 

treatment processes and construction of 

pipelines, pump station, and storage 

facilities to distribute recycled water for 

use in compliance with Article 4 in 

Title 22 of the California Code of 

Regulations, which sets water quality 

standards and treatment reliability 

criteria for recycled water. The Project 

may be partially Federally funded under 

Title XVI of Public Law 102–575, as 

amended, which provides a mechanism 

for Federal participation and cost 

sharing in approved water reuse 

projects, and also non-title XVI funds. 

A Notice of Availability of the Draft 

EIR/EIS was published in the Federal 

Register on May 12, 2009 (74 FR 22175). 

The written comment period on the 

Draft EIR/EIS extended to July 20, 2009. 

The Final EIR/EIS contains responses to 

all comments received and reflects 

comments and any additional 

information received during the review 

period. 

DATES: Reclamation will not make a 

decision on the Project until at least 30 

days after the release of the Final EIR/ 

EIS. After the 30-day consideration 

period, Reclamation will complete a 

Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD will 

state the action that will be 

implemented and will discuss all factors 

leading to the decision. 

ADDRESSES: A compact disc or a copy of 

the Final EIR/EIS may be requested from 

Mr. Marc Bautista, SCWA, 404 Aviation 

Boulevard, Santa Rosa, CA 95403; by

Marc Bautista, SCWA, 707–547–1998;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NBWRA, established under a 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

in August 2005, is comprised of four 

wastewater utilities and one water 

agency in the North San Pablo Bay 

region of California. Participants 

include SCWA, Las Gallinas Valley 

Sanitary District (LGVSD), Novato 

Sanitary District (Novato SD), Sonoma 

Valley County Sanitation District 

(SVCSD), and Napa Sanitation District 

(Napa SD). In addition, North Marin 

Water District and the County of Napa 

are participating financially and 

providing support. NBWRA proposes to 

expand the use of recycled water and 

reduce discharge into San Pablo Bay 

with this long-term inter-agency project. 

The area encompasses 318 square miles 

of land in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa 

counties. 

The North San Pablo Bay regions of 

Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties are 

facing long-term water supply shortfalls. 

Surface and groundwater supplies 

within these areas are limited, and some 

local groundwater basins are 

overpumped, with detrimental effects 

on water levels and water quality. 

Recycled water can augment local water 

supplies on a regional basis, provide 

water that meets agricultural and 

municipal nonpotable quality needs, 

and provide increased reliability. 

Additionally, reliable water supply is 

needed in order to continue the 

restoration of tidal wetlands in San 

Pablo Bay that contain habitat for 

endangered and threatened species. 

Wastewater treatment agencies also face 

strict regulatory limits on the timing and 

quality of the treated wastewater they 

can discharge to San Pablo Bay, as well 

as the rivers and streams that flow to it. 

By treating wastewater to the stricter 

regulatory levels required for reuse, the 

agencies can recycle the water 

productively to address water supply 

needs and reduce the amount released 

to North San Pablo Bay and its 

tributaries. The project would provide 

recycled water for agricultural, urban, 

and environmental uses thereby 

reducing reliance on local and imported 

surface water and groundwater supplies 

and reducing the amount of treated 

effluent released to North San Pablo Bay 

and its tributaries. Some of the project 

benefits include reduction of 

wastewater discharge to regional 

waterways and the resulting 

environmental benefit to fish and 

wildlife. 

The Project consists of distribution 

facilities, treatment capacity 

improvements, and storage to recover 

and reuse between 6,655 and 12,750 

acre-feet per year of recycled water 

available for environmental, 

agricultural, and municipal reuse. 

The Draft EIR/EIS was developed to 

provide the public and responsible and 

trustee agencies reviewing the Project an 

analysis of the potential effects, both 

beneficial and adverse, on the local and 

regional environment associated with 

construction and operation of the 

Project. The Draft EIR/EIS documented 

the direct, indirect, and cumulative 

effects to the physical, biological, and 

socioeconomic environment that may 

result from the Project. 

The Draft EIR/EIS addressed 

potentially significant environmental 

issues and recommends adequate and 

feasible mitigation measures to reduce 

or eliminate significant environmental 

impacts. The Draft EIR/EIS examined 

three alternatives at an equal level of 

detail: Basic System, Partially 

Connected System, and Fully Connected 

System. The Phase I Implementation 

Plan for these alternatives was 

examined at a project level of detail. 

The Draft EIR/EIS also examined the No 

Project Alternative, No Action 

Alternative, and other Alternatives to 

the Proposed Action. 

A series of public meetings on the 

Draft EIR/EIS were held in June 2009. 

Copies of the Final EIR/EIS are available 

for public review at the following
