Bureau of Reclamation 

San Carlos Irrigation Project, Arizona 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and notice of public scoping meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, 

announces its intent to prepare an EIS 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969, as amended, on the 

rehabilitation of San Carlos Irrigation 

Project (SCIP) water delivery facilities 

near the communities of Casa Grande, 

Coolidge, and Florence in Pinal County, 

Arizona. SCIP canals convey irrigation 

water from the Gila River and Central 

Arizona Project (CAP) to agricultural 

lands in the San Carlos Irrigation and 

Drainage District (SCIDD) and Gila River 

Indian Community. 

The EIS will evaluate alternatives for 

rehabilitation of existing facilities and 

construction of new facilities to meet 

the objectives of the Gila River Indian 

Community Water Rights Settlement 

Agreement, as amended, pursuant to 

Title II of the Arizona Water Settlements 

Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–451). 

DATES: Written comments on the scope 

of the EIS will be accepted until October 

18, 2010. 

A scoping meeting will be held to 

solicit public input on the scope of the 

environmental document, alternatives, 

concerns, and issues to be addressed in 

the EIS. The scoping meeting will be a 

4-hour open house. The meeting will be 

held on Saturday, September 18, 2010, 

10 a.m.–2 p.m., Coolidge, Arizona. 

ADDRESSES: The public scoping meeting 

will be held at the Coolidge Police 

Department, City Council Chambers, 

911 South Arizona Boulevard, Coolidge, 

Arizona. 

Send written comments on the scope 

of the EIS to Mr. John McGlothlen, 

Bureau of Reclamation, 6150 West 

Thunderbird Road, Glendale, Arizona 

85306; or e-mail at 

jmcglothlen@usbr.gov. 

Those not desiring to submit 

comments or suggestions at this time, 

but who would like to receive a copy of 

the Scoping Notice and/or EIS, should 

write to the address given above. 

Scoping information will also be 

available on Reclamation’s Phoenix 

Area Office Web site at http:// 

www.usbr.gov/lc/phoenix.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Notices 53333 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to conserve water, reduce maintenance 

requirements and associated costs, and 

improve service to SCIDD and Gila 

River Indian Community lands. The 

SCIP system has more than 95 miles of 

main canals that are unlined, and water 

losses from infiltration and 

evapotranspiration are significant. The 

long length and large cross section of 

the canal system relative to the service 

area, combined with the system’s age, 

make operating and maintaining the 

facilities challenging. Rehabilitation and 

modernization of canals will conserve 

water and reduce maintenance 

requirements by shortening the length of 

the conveyance system needed to serve 

SCIDD and Gila River Indian 

Community lands. In addition, 

provisions for increased storage and 

modernized measurement and control 

will improve service to customers while 

providing additional avenues for water 

conservation. 

The proposed action includes the 

reconstruction and lining of major 

canals, such as the Florence-Casa 

Grande, Casa Grande, and North Side 

canals, and construction of new check 

structures and cross-drainage features. 

The existing Florence Canal and 

Florence-Casa Grande Canal Extension 

would be converted to drainage and 

recharge channels to protect 

rehabilitated canals and associated 

project lands. These conversions would 

reduce the size of the main water 

delivery system and reduce 

maintenance requirements. A new canal 

would be constructed to connect the 

rehabilitated Florence-Casa Grande 

Canal with the rehabilitated Casa 

Grande Canal. The project would also 

include relocating laterals or placing 

short reaches of laterals in pipeline to 

accommodate changes in land use 

within the SCIDD service area. 

Alternatives currently under 

consideration include: 

• Construction and repair of wells 

adjacent to the North Side Canal to 

allow delivery of a combination of 

groundwater and Gila River water to the 

SCIDD service area. 

• Construction and repair of wells 

adjacent to the North Side Canal to 

allow delivery of only groundwater to 

the SCIDD service area. 

• Implementation of an exchange 

agreement between SCIDD and the 

Central Arizona Water Conservation 

District to allow delivery of CAP water 

to rehabilitated North Side Canal 

facilities through proposed interties 

with the CAP Aqueduct. The exchange 

agreement would also allow flexibility 

during rehabilitation of the FlorenceCasa Grande Canal and facilitate longterm operational reliability of the SCIP 

system. 

• Construction of mid-system and 

lower-system reservoirs to store 

irrigation water. Sites presently under 

consideration may also afford suitable 

conditions for hydropower generation. 

A portion of the water that is 

conserved from lining SCIP canals 

would be made available to the 

Secretary of the Interior for exchange 

with water stored in the San Carlos 

Reservoir to maintain a permanent 

minimum pool in the reservoir for fish 

and wildlife. Water that is exchanged 

for this purpose would be retained in 

the San Carlos Reservoir and not 

released to the Gila River. 

Indian trust assets associated with the 

proposed action consist of Gila River 

water conveyed through SCIP facilities 

to the Gila River Indian Community and 

conserved water that is retained in the 

San Carlos Reservoir to maintain a 

minimum pool. 

Special Assistance for Public Scoping 

Meeting

scoping meeting, please contact Ms. 

Jessie Haragara at 623–773–6251, or email at jharagara@usbr.gov. Please
