BILLING CODE 4310–70–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Franks Tract, Sacramento-San Joaquin 

Bay-Delta, CA 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement/ 

environmental impact report (EIS/EIR) 

and notice of public scoping meetings. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the California Environmental Quality 

Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and the California 

Department of Water Resources (DWR) 

intend to prepare an EIS/EIR for the 

Franks Tract Project. Reclamation is the 

lead Federal agency under NEPA and 

DWR is the lead State agency under 

CEQA for preparation of the EIS/EIR. 

The Franks Tract Project is designed 

to address water quality and fish 

protection issues in the central and 

southern Sacramento-San Joaquin River 

Delta (Delta). The project would consist 

of the construction of barriers around 

Franks Tract to prevent salinity 

intrusion and the movement of sensitive 

fish species into the central and 

southern Delta. 

DATES: Written comments on the scope 

of the EIS/EIR will be accepted on or 

before November 21, 2008. 

A series of public scoping meetings 

will be held to solicit public input on 

alternatives, concerns, and issues to be 

addressed in the EIS/EIR. The meeting 

dates are as follows: 

• Monday, October 6, 2008, 10 a.m. to 

12 p.m., Sacramento, CA. 

• Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 6 p.m. to 

8:30 p.m., Rio Vista, CA. 

• Wednesday, October 8, 2008, 6 p.m. 

to 8:30 p.m., Antioch, CA. 

• Thursday, October 9, 2008, 6 p.m. 

to 8:30 p.m., Stockton, CA. 

ADDRESSES: The public scoping meeting 

locations are: 

• Sacramento at the Federal Building, 

Cafeteria Conference Rooms C–1001 and 

C–1002, 2800 Cottage Way. 

• Rio Vista at the Memorial Building, 

610 St. Francis Way. 

• Antioch at the Contra Costa Public 

Library, 501 W. 18th Street. 

• Stockton at the Memorial Civic 

Auditorium, North Hall, 525 North 

Center Street. 

Written comments on the scope of the 

EIS/EIR should be sent to Ms. Lynnette 

Wirth, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 

Cottage Way, Public Affairs, 

Sacramento, CA 95825, e-mailed to 

lwirth@mp.usbr.gov, or faxed to 916– 

978–5114. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Sharon McHale, Reclamation Project 

Manager, at 916–978–5086 (TDD 916– 

978–5608), or via e-mail at 

smchale@mp.usbr.gov; or Mr. Ajay 

Goyal, DWR Project Manager, at 916– 

651–9823, or via e-mail at 

agoyal@water.ca.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

project location would be in the vicinity 

of Franks Tract in the Delta. Franks 

Tract is connected tidally to the San 

Joaquin River via False River. During 

low flow conditions, high salinity water 

enters Franks Tract on flood tide while 

fresher water flows back into False River 

during ebb tide. The higher salinity 

water mixes within Franks Tract and is 

drawn into Old River through levee 

breaches on the east side of Franks 

Tract. These conditions impact salinity 

conditions in the adjacent Delta 

channels and the central and south 

Delta. 

Background 

The CALFED Bay-Delta Authorization 

Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–361) 

authorized the Secretary of the Interior 

to conduct a feasibility study and 

actions at Franks Tract to improve water 

quality in the Delta. As part of the 

feasibility study, an EIS/EIR is required 

to address environmental effects. 

Objectives 

The objectives of the Franks Tract 

Project are: 

• To improve the quality of water in 

the central and south Delta being 

pumped at the Central Valley Project, 

C.W. ‘‘Bill’’ Jones Pumping Plant and 

the State Water Project, Harvey O. Banks 

Pumping Plant. 

• To improve fisheries conditions 

throughout the Delta. 

Alternatives 

The following alternatives are 

currently under consideration: 

• Operable Gates on False River: This 

alternative involves installation of 

operable gates on the West False River 

near the confluence with the San 

Joaquin River west of Franks Tract. The 

barrier would provide a physical 

obstruction to salt intrusion entering 

Franks Tract via the western end of 

False River. 

• Operable Gate on Three Mile 

Slough: This alternative involves 

installation of an operable gate in Three 

Mile Slough. The barrier would be 

closed on ebb tide to prevent water from 

the San Joaquin River from entering the 

Sacramento River. This action serves to 

keep flow in the San Joaquin River and 

increases the net westerly flow past 

Jersey Point. 

Special Assistance for Public Scoping 

Meetings 

If special assistance is required at the 

public hearings, please contact Ms. 

Lynnette Wirth at 916–978–5100, TDD 

916–978–5608, or via e-mail at 

lwirth@mp.usbr.gov. Please notify Ms. 

Wirth as far in advance as possible to 

enable Reclamation to secure the 

needed services. If a request cannot be 

honored, the requestor will be notified. 

A telephone device for the hearing 

impaired (TDD) is available at 916–978– 

5608.
