Intent to Supplement the December

1991 Joint EIS/EIR (Environmental

Impact Statement/Environmental

Impact Report) for the ARWI (American

River Watershed Investigation)

Originally Filed With EPA in January

1992 With a Joint DSEIS/SDEIR (Draft

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement/Supplemental Draft

Environmental Impact Report) on the

ARWI

AGENCIES: U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, DOD, in cooperation with the

State of California, The Reclamation

Board, and with the Sacramento Area

Flood Control Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

joint DSEIS/SDEIR.

SUMMARY: The reevaluation of the ARWI

includes a DSEIS/SDEIR identifying and

assessing new flood control alternatives

and reanalyzing measures presented in

the December 1991 EIS/EIR. When

complete, this document will become

part of the SIR (Supplemental

Information Report). The DSEIS/SDEIR

will describe the significance of the

impacts of potential alternatives on the

area’s natural and cultural resources and

mitigation requirements for the

alternatives evaluated. The study area

includes lands within the American

River watershed and the Deer Creek area

of the Cosumnes River basin. These

alternatives examined in detail include

construction of a peak flow detention

dam, with various outlet configurations,

near Auburn on the North Fork,

American River; modifications to

Folsom Dam; levee improvements on

the lower American River; and

increasing the flood storage allocation

space in Folsom Reservoir.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:

Please address comments and/or

questions regarding this DSEIS/SDEIR to

Colonel John N. Reese, District

Engineer, ATTN: Mr. Michael Welsh,

Planning Division, Environmental

Planning Section, CESPK–PD–R, U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, 1325 J Street,

Sacramento, California 95814–2922,

telephone area code (916) 557–6718.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Action

A DSEIS/SDEIR prepared by the

Corps of Engineers, the State of

California, The Reclamation Board and

Department of Water Resources, and

SAFCA (the Sacramento Area Flood

Control Agency) will expand upon the

ARWI feasibility report approved by the

Board of Engineers for Rivers and

Harbors in June 1992. This

supplemental investigation will identify

and assess new flood control measures
17342 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 5, 1995 / Notices

and reevaluate previously studied

measures using new baseline

conditions.

The Defense Appropriations Act of

1993 authorized the Natomas portion of

the project, subject to certain conditions

being complied with. Since that time,

SAFCA has applied for, and received, a

Department of the Army Permit

pursuant to Section 404(b)(1) of the

Clean Water Act to construct the levees

described in the 1991 EIS/EIR. As part

of the permit review process, SAFCA

prepared and circulated a separate

NEPA/CEQA (National Environmental

Policy Act, and the California

Environmental Quality Act) document

describing the Natomas levee work.

Work was initiated on the local project

in 1994, and is expected to be

completed in 1997. The Bureau of

Reclamation and SAFCA have entered

into an interim agreement to reoperate

Folsom Reservoir to remove the

Sacramento area from flooding from

storm events having a one percent

chance of occurring in any given year.

This agreement is for a five year period,

and may be extended an additional five

year period, if mutually agreed upon.

The Defense Appropriations Act of

1993 also authorized this reevaluation

of the ARWI. This reevaluation analyzes

the American River watershed for its

contribution to Sacramento area

flooding. The DSEIS/SDEIR will fulfill

requirements of NEPA and CEQA. The

document will discuss alternatives and

plan features and impacts on the

American River watershed areas natural

resources. The results of the

investigations will be presented in a

final SIR/EIS/EIR combined report

submitted to Corps headquarters for

approval and eventual submission for

congressional consideration in mid

1996.

2. Alternatives

The SIR and accompanying DSEIS/

SDEIR will reassess flood control plans

that consider improvements within the

American River watershed and the Deer

Creek area to increase protection to the

Sacramento area from flooding on the

American River. In addition to the

alternatives discussed in the 1991

Feasibility Report and a no action

alternative, this DSEIS/SDEIR will

analyze the following major alternatives:

Increase Folsom Reservoir Storage—

This alternative includes modifying the

outlets and spillway at Folsom Dam,

and requiring that between 495,000 and

670,000 acre-feet of space be reserved in

the reservoir each year, depending on

the amount of water contained in the

private reservoirs on the north and

middle forks of the American River.

Folsom Storage/Step Release

Alternative—This alternative includes

modifying the spillway and outlets at

Folsom Dam, requiring that between

400,000 and 670,000 acre-feet of space

be reserved in the reservoir each year,

modify the levees along the lower

American River to accommodate an

objective release of 145,000 cfs with a

maximum step release of 180,000 cfs,

and lengthen and modify the

Sacramento Weir and bypass and

modify the levees along Yolo Bypass to

accommodate the increased flows.

Maximum Objective Release

Alternative—This alternative includes

modifying the spillway and outlets at

Folsom Dam, requiring that between

425,000 and 670,000 acre-feet of space

be reserved in the reservoir each year,

modify the levees along the lower

American River to accommodate an

objective release of 180,000 cfs, and

lengthen and modify the Sacramento

Weir and bypass and modify the levees

along Yolo Bypass to accommodate the

increased flows.

Flood Detention Dam Alternative—

This alternative consists of a 498-foot

high concrete gravity dam constructed

using roller compacted concrete. This

dam would be constructed on the North

Fork American River near Auburn, and

would be able to temporarily detain

approximately 894,000 acre-feet of

water during a major storm event. The

dam would have 20 operable gates and

2 ungated sluices to control the

drawdown rate and minimize the affects

of inundation during inundation events.

The operation of Folsom Reservoir

would be returned to a fixed space

requirement of 400,000 acre-feet of

storage. The objective releases from

Folsom Dam would remain at 115,000

cfs.

The DSEIS/SDEIR will analyze

impacts and mitigation requirements,

which them becomes part of the

project’s mitigation commitment in

compliance with Federal and State

statutes.

3. Public Involvement

a. A notice outlining the ARWI and

tentatively proposed alternatives was

sent to public agencies, organizations,

and individuals in the study area prior

to the first public forum conducted in

November 1993. Additional public

forums, meetings, and workshops were

conducted during the remainder of

1993, and throughout 1994. The initial

notice and subsequent public meetings

provided the public an opportunity to

identify their concerns on area flooding

and on significant natural resources in

the area. Responses to the notice and

public hearings helped develop an

environmental inventory for use in

preparing the DSEIS/SDEIR.

b. The feasibility report was

completed in December 1991. Prior to

its completion, comments were received

from the public concerning the flood

control alternatives and environmental

impacts of those alternatives. Numerous

public workshops and coordinating

meetings were held to assist the State

and SAFCA to determine a preferred

flood control plan. For the restudy of

the ARWI this process will continue

with a final SEIS/EIR and SIR scheduled

for December 1995. Coordination has

been maintained with Federal, State and

local agencies, concerned individuals

and organizations. Through this Notice

of Intent, all segments of the affected

public and agencies are invited to

participate in this reevaluation.

c. Significant issues discussed in the

public meetings include the degree of

protection offered by the alternatives,

hydrology of the area, planning

objectives, alternatives analysis, impacts

on fish and wildlife resources,

recreation, endangered species,

vegetation, esthetics, cumulative

impacts, cultural resources and,

hazardous and toxic waste; and the

mitigation requirements to compensate

for impacts to significant resources.

d. Other agency review and

consultation for this DSEIS/SDEIR will

occur with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service who will provide a Fish and

Wildlife Coordination Act Report under

authority of the Fish and Wildlife

Coordination Act. The National Marine

Fisheries Service will provide

information on the anadromous fishery

of both the American and Sacramento

rivers under the Anadromous Fish

Conservation Act. In addition, both

agencies will provide information and

opinions on how best to avoid impacts

to species protected under the

Endangered Species Act under their

jurisdictions. Coordination on cultural

resources will be accomplished through

the State Historic Preservation Office in

accordance with the National Historic

Preservation Act. Water quality issues

will be addressed by an updated

evaluation conducted pursuant to

Section 404(b)(1) of the Clean Water

Act, and will include coordination with

the California Regional Water Quality

Control Board and the United States

Environmental Protection Agency. All

resource agency input, including

recommendations on avoiding or

minimizing impacts to natural

resources, becomes part of the final

ARWI SEIS/EIR.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Reimbursement for Costs of Remedial

Action at Active Uranium and Thorium

Processing Sites

AGENCY: Office of Environmental

Management, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of the acceptance of

claims and the availability of funds for

reimbursements in fiscal year 1995.

SUMMARY: This Notice announces the

Department of Energy’s acceptance of

claims for reimbursement and the

availability of approximately $41.7

million in funds for fiscal year 1995 for

reimbursements of certain costs of

remedial action at eligible active

uranium and thorium processing sites

pursuant to Title X of the Energy Policy

Act of 1992. The Department of Energy

anticipates that claims submitted by

licensees in fiscal year 1995 together

with outstanding approved claims from

fiscal year 1994 will exceed $41.7

million and would therefore be subject

to prorated payment. In addition, the

Department of Energy is announcing an

adjustment for inflation to the statutory

per dry short ton limit on

reimbursement to uranium licensees

and the aggregate limit on

reimbursement to uranium and thorium

licensees. Lastly, the Department of

Energy is announcing changes in the

quantity of Federal-related or total dry

short tons of byproduct material and

Federal reimbursement ratio for the

Western Nuclear Incorporated, Split

Rock mill site, in Jeffrey City, Wyoming,

and the American Nuclear Corporation,

Gas Hills mill site, in Gas Hills,

Wyoming, and the preliminary per dry

short ton limit on reimbursement to

uranium licensees.

DATES: The closing date for the

submission of claims for reimbursement

in fiscal year 1995 is June 16, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Claims may be mailed to the

Environmental Restoration Division,

U.S. Department of Energy, 2155

Louisiana NE., Suite 10000,

Albuquerque, NM 87110. All claims

should be addressed to the attention of

James B. Coffey and sent by registered

or certified mail, return receipt

requested.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James Coffey, Environmental

Restoration Division, U.S. Department

of Energy, (505) 845–4628.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Energy published a final

rule under 10 CFR part 765 in the

Federal Register on May 23, 1994 (59

FR 26714) to implement the

requirements of Title X of the Energy

Policy Act of 1992 (sections 1001–1004

of Pub. L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 2296a et

seq.) and to establish the procedures for

eligible licensees to submit claims for

reimbursement. Title X requires the

Department of Energy to reimburse

eligible uranium and thorium licensees

for certain costs of decontamination,

decommissioning, reclamation, and

other remedial action incurred by

licensees at active uranium and thorium

processing sites to remediate byproduct

material generated as an incident of

sales to the United States Government.

To be reimbursable, costs of remedial

action must be for work which is

necessary to comply with applicable

requirements of the Uranium Mill

Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978

(42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where

appropriate, with requirements

established by a state pursuant to a

discontinuance agreement under section

274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954

(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for

reimbursement of costs of remedial

action must be supported by reasonable

documentation as determined by the

Department of Energy in accordance

with 10 CFR part 765. Section

1001(b)(2) of the Energy Policy Act of

1992 limits the amount of

reimbursement paid to any one licensee

of an active uranium site to an amount

not to exceed $5.50, as adjusted

annually for inflation, multiplied by the

dry short tons of byproduct material

located at the site on October 24, 1992,

and generated as an incident of sales to

the United States. Total reimbursement,

in the aggregate, for work performed at

the active uranium processing sites shall

not exceed $270 million, as adjusted

annually for inflation. Total

reimbursement for work performed at

the active thorium processing site shall

not exceed $40 million, as adjusted

annually for inflation, and is limited to

costs incurred for offsite disposal.

Funds for reimbursement will be

provided from the Uranium Enrichment

Decontamination and Decommissioning

Fund established at the United States

Department of Treasury pursuant to

section 1801 of the Atomic Energy Act

of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2297g). Payment or

obligation of funds shall be subject to

the requirements of the Anti-Deficiency

Act (31 U.S.C. 1341).

To make the inflation adjustments

indicated above, the Department of

Energy is required by 10 CFR 765.12 to

apply the Consumer Price Index-Urban

(CPI-U) annually, beginning in 1994,

using the CPI-U as published by the

Bureau of Labor Statistics within the

Department of Commerce for the

preceding calendar year. The CPI-U for

1993 was 1.030. Therefore, the adjusted

values of the $5.50 per dry short ton,

$270 million, and $40 million statutory

ceilings in 1994 were $5.67 per dry

short ton, $278.1 million, and $41.2

million, respectively (i.e., $5.50, $270

million, and $40 million multiplied by

1.030 equals $5.67, $278.1 million, and
