SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need 

The primary purpose for watershed 

planning and preparation of an EIS is to 

increase and maintain safe and reliable 

supplies of water for the local 

community, increase water 

conservation, and improve water 

delivery efficiency in the Upper Price 

River Watershed in Carbon County, 

Utah. NRCS will provide technical 

assistance and financial support for the 

EIS and the implementation of the 

selected alternative. Watershed 

planning was authorized under Public 

Law 83–566, the Watershed Protection 

and Flood Prevention Act of 1954, as 

amended, and Public Law 78–534, the 

Flood Control Act of 1944. 

Because of a mismatch between the 

time when snowpack melts in the Upper 

Price River Watershed and the time 

when water is in highest demand for 

agricultural and municipal uses, several 

municipalities in Carbon County face 

regular shortages of water during the 

summer months and must obtain 

additional water from other sources. 

Initial agency scoping of this federally 

assisted action indicates that proposed 

alternatives may have significant local, 

regional, or national impacts on the 

environment. Norm Evenstad, NRCS 

Assistant State Conservationist-Water 

Resources, has determined that the 

preparation of an EIS is needed. This 

EIS will be prepared as required by 

section 102(2)(C) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA); the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500– 

1508); and NRCS regulations that 

implement NEPA in 7 CFR part 650. 

Consultation with Tribal Nations and 

interested parties will be conducted as 

required by the National Historic 

Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended 

through 1992) (16 U.S.C. 470f). 

Description 

The project seeks to reduce the 

regular water shortages several 

municipalities in Carbon County 

experience during the summer months. 

Major problems consist of a lack of 

water for crops and pasture, fences, 

farmsteads, machinery, buildings, 

livestock, county and township roads 

and bridges, and urban areas in the 

cities of Price, Helper, and Wellington, 

as well as Price Canyon and Scofield 

Reservoir. 

The EIS process will evaluate 

alternatives that will increase and 

maintain safe and reliable supplies of 

water for the local community while 

increasing water conservation, and 

improving water delivery efficiency in 

the Upper Price River Watershed. 

Watershed planning under the EIS 

will evaluate the effectiveness, 

environmental effects, and socioeconomic impacts of the original project 

measures over the last 64 years. The 

results of these analyses will provide 

the context for determining the 

environmental, economic, and social 

effects of considered alternatives for 

additional (new) water retention and 

supply options for the Carbon County 

municipalities. 

Scoping Process 

One scoping meeting to present the 

project and develop the scope of the EIS 

was held online on Thursday, October 

29, 2020. A presentation was conducted 

followed by a group question-andanswer period. Project team members 

were available for individual questions 

and discussions. Comments received, 

including the names and addresses of 

those who comment, will be part of the 

public record. 

Alternatives 

The objective of the EIS is to 

formulate and evaluate alternatives that 

increase and maintain safe and reliable 

supplies of water for the community, 

that increase water conservation, and 

improve water delivery efficiency. 

Alternatives to be evaluated include the 

construction of a new reservoir 

somewhere in the Upper Price River 

drainage system, to use abandoned coal 

mines for water storage, to increase 

water conservation measures, or a 

combination of these options. 

Potential impacts include wetland 

and flood plain alteration. Permitting 

with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

regarding potential wetland impacts 

will be pursued prior to final design and 

construction. A draft EIS will be 

prepared and circulated for review and 

comment by agencies and the public per 

40 CFR 1503.1, 1502.20, 1506.11, 

1502.17, and 7 CFR 650.13. NRCS 

invites agencies and individuals who 

have special expertise, legal 

jurisdiction, or interest in the Upper 

Price River Watershed to participate and 

identify potential alternatives.

In the Matter of: Chris Rodriguez, 20 

Liberty Drive, Thomasville, NC 27360; 

Order Denying Export Privileges 

On October 18, 2019, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Virginia, Chris Rodriguez (‘‘Rodriguez’’), 

was convicted of violating Section 38 of 

the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 

2778) (‘‘AECA’’). Specifically, Rodriguez 

was convicted of willfully attempting to 

export, exporting and causing to be 

exported from the United States to San 

Pedro Sula, Honduras, defense articles, 

that is 27 firearms and hundreds of 

rounds of ammunition, which were and 

are designated as defense articles on the 

United States Munitions List, without 

having first obtained from the 

Department of State, a license for such 

exports or written authorization for such 

exports. Rodriguez was sentenced to 18 

months in prison, supervised release for 

three years and a $100 assessment. 

Rodriguez was also placed on the U.S. 

Department of State Debarred List. 

Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, Section 38 

of the AECA, may be denied for a period 

of up to ten (10) years from the date of 

his/her conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) 

(Prior Convictions). In addition, any 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 

licenses or other authorizations issued 

under ECRA, in which the person had 

an interest at the time of the conviction, 

may be revoked. Id. 

BIS received notice of Rodriguez’s 

conviction for violating Section 38 of 

the AECA, and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Rodriguez to make a 

written submission to BIS, as provided 

in Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS 

has received a written submission from 

Rodriguez. 

Based upon my review of the record, 

including Rodriguez’s written response, 

and consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Exporter Services, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Rodriguez’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of seven years from the date 

of Rodriguez’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Rodriguez had an interest at the time of 

his conviction.3
