Notice of Availability of a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior, Susanville District Office,

California.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft

Impact Statement (DEIS).

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) and the California

Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)

have prepared a draft Environmental

Impact Report/Statement (EIR/S) for the

Alturas 345 Kilovolt (KV) transmission

line project proposed by Sierra Pacific

Power Company (SPPCo) in BLM

application number CACA–31406. The

draft EIR/S has been prepared to satisfy

the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act and the

California Environmental Quality Act.

The BLM and CPUC believe, subject

to public comment, the approval of the

proposed project, with appropriate

mitigation measures, has the potential to

significantly impact the environment.

The draft EIR/S includes an evaluation

of the proposed project. The draft

EIR/S assesses the environmental

impacts of the approval, construction,

operation and maintenance of a 345KV

overhead electric power transmission

line approximately 164 miles long, from

the vicinity of Alturas, California

through Modoc, Lassen, and Sierra

Counties, California, through Washoe

County, Nevada to the vicinity of Reno,

Nevada. The proposed project would

affect Federal, State and private lands.

The proposed project also includes the

construction of two new electrical

substations, one northwest of Alturas

and one in Sierra County, California,

just west of Border Town, Nevada, and

the expansion of SPPCo’s existing North

Valley Road Substation.

The impact analysis in the draft

EIR/S includes the identification of

feasible mitigation measures and

alternatives to the proposed project,

which, if incorporated into the Project,

would avoid or minimize impacts.

The draft EIR/S has been placed in the

public files of the CPUC and the BLM,

and is available for public inspection at:

California Public Utilities Commission,

Central Files, 505 Van Ness Avenue,

San Francisco, CA 94102, (415) 703–

Nevada, and Washington, DC.; at the

Modoc National Forest in Alturas and

the Toiyabe National Forest in Sparks,

NV; at public libraries in Alturas,

Susanville and Reno, and at the City

Hall in Loyalton. Copies have also been

Texaco’s Stagecoach Draw Unit;

Wyoming; Availability of Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft

environmental impact statement (EIS).

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) announces the

availability of Texaco’s Stagecoach

Draw Draft EIS analyzing the

environmental consequences of a

proposed natural gas development and

production operation in the Stagecoach

Draw Unit approximately 7 miles

southwest of Farson, Wyoming,

Sweetwater County. The project area

encompasses 23,575 acres within

portions of Townships 22, 23, and 24

north, ranges 107 and 108 North.

DATES: Comments on the Draft EIS will

be accepted for 45 days following the

date that the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) publishes their Notice of

Availability in the Federal Register. The

EPA notice is expected to be published

on March 10, 1995. There are presently

no plans to hold a public hearing on the

Texaco Stagecoach Draw Unit Draft EIS

because of apparent lack of substantial

environmental controversy concerning

the proposed project. Reviewers are

encouraged to visit the local BLM

offices in Cheyenne and Rock Springs,

Wyoming and talk with the Managers

about any concerns. If enough people

indicate a desire to testify by returning

the tear-out sheet provided in the Draft

EIS, a public hearing(s) will be

scheduled. Information on the

hearing(s) will be published in state and

local newspapers and other media

sources, and direct mailing to the

recipients of the Draft EIS to give the

public enough notice.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the Draft EIS

should be sent to Bureau of Land

Management, Bill McMahan (Project

Coordinator), P.O. Box 1869, Rock

Springs, WY 82902–1869.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft

EIS analyzes a proposed action, one

development alternative, and the no

action alternative. Texaco USA proposes

to develop a 23,575 acre natural gas

field by drilling 72 wells on an average

spacing of 320 acres over the next 6 to

10 years. Texaco’s plans and drilling

schedules would be contingent upon

both an increased demand for natural

gas supplies in response to the Clean

Air Act amendments of 1990 and an

adequate price for the gas at the

wellhead. The Draft EIS describes the

physical, biological, cultural, historic,

and socioeconomic resources in and

surrounding the project area. The focus

for impact analysis was based upon

resource issues and concerns identified

during the public scoping. Potential

impacts of concern from development

were to antelope migrations and crucial

winter range; sage grouse and raptor

breeding and nesting; sediment

increases to the Big Sandy River;

groundwater contamination; Oregon,

Mormon Pioneer, Pony Express, and

California Historic Trails condition and

viewshed; changes in livestock and wild

horse management; and cumulative

effects. The Draft EIS, in compliance

with Section 7(c) of the Endangered

Species Act (as amended), includes the

Biological Assessment for the purpose

of identifying any endangered or

threatened species which are likely to

be affected by the proposed action.
