a plan for Suisun Marsh that would 

balance the needs of the California BayDelta Program (CALFED), the Suisun 

Marsh Preservation Agreement, and 

other plans by protecting and enhancing 

existing land uses and existing 

waterfowl and wildlife values, 

including those associated with the 

Pacific Flyway, endangered species, and 

State and Federal water project supply 

quality. A subset of this charter group 

has collaboratively prepared the SMP 

Draft EIS/EIR. The principal agencies 

include the Service, Reclamation, 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), DFG, State of California 

Department of Water Resources, Suisun 

Resource Conservation District, and the 

California Bay-Delta Authority. When 

the EIS/EIR is finalized, each principal 

agency will use it to implement 

particular actions described and 

analyzed in the document that would 

contribute to the overall implementation 

of the SMP. NMFS and the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers are cooperating 

agencies in accordance with NEPA. 

Background 

The historical diking of tidal wetlands 

resulted in a loss of habitat for many 

species, including some listed as 

threatened or endangered. However, 

managed wetlands provide important 

habitats for numerous wetland species, 

migratory birds, and waterfowl; support 

existing wildlife populations; and are 

vital to the heritage of hunting in Suisun 

Marsh. Protecting the ecological values 

of both the historical tidal wetland 

habitat and the current managed 

wetland habitat is vital to ensure 

stability of the many species that 

depend on each of these wetland types. 

Managed wetlands, tidal wetlands, and 

uplands, whether publicly or privately 

owned, provide important wetlands for 

migratory waterfowl and other resident 

and migratory wetland-dependent 

species and opportunities for hunting, 

fishing, bird watching, and other 

recreational activities. There is a need to 

maintain these opportunities as well as 

improve public stewardship of the 

Marsh to ensure that the 

implementation of restoration and 

managed wetland activities is 

understood and valued for both public 

and private land uses. Current 

restrictions regarding levee maintenance 

activities in the Marsh have forced 

maintenance to be deferred on some 

exterior levees, increasing the risk of 

catastrophic flooding. Multiple factors 

contribute to the degradation of water 

quality in the Marsh, and improvement 

of water quality and water quality 

management practices is needed to 

benefit the ecological processes for all 

habitats, including managed and tidal 

wetlands. Given these needs, the SMP is 

a comprehensive plan designed to 

address the various conflicts regarding 

use of Marsh resources, with the focus 

on achieving an acceptable multistakeholder approach to the restoration 

of tidal wetlands and the enhancement 

of managed wetlands and their 

functions. The SMP is intended to guide 

near-term and future actions related to 

restoration of tidal wetlands and 

managed wetland activities in the 

Marsh. 

Preferred Alternative 

All action alternatives of the SMP 

include the same basic components, 

which provide a framework for how 

restoration and managed wetland 

activities would be implemented. The 

alternatives differ in the amount of 

acreage of restored tidal wetlands and 

remaining managed wetlands subject to 

managed wetland activities. Restoration 

of tidal wetlands would help to achieve 

the restoration goals established for the 

Marsh by the CALFED Ecosystem 

Restoration Program Plan, San Francisco 

Bay Area Wetlands Ecosystem Goals 

Project, and the Service’s Draft Recovery 

Plan for Tidal Marsh Ecosystems of 

Northern and Central California. 

Restoration of tidal wetlands would be 

implemented over the 30-year SMP 

timeframe, and benefits from individual 

projects would change as elevations rise 

due to sediment accretion, vegetation 

becomes established, and vegetation 

communities shift over time from low 

marsh to high marsh condition. 

Managed wetlands provide valuable 

habitat for a variety of non-waterfowl 

birds, mammals, reptiles, and 

amphibians. The intended outcomes of 

the managed wetlands activities 

described in the Draft EIS/EIR are to 

maintain and improve habitat 

conditions and minimize or avoid 

adverse effects of wetland operations. 

Most of these activities are already 

occurring in the Marsh; however, some 

of the current activities would be 

modified, and some new activities 

would be conducted, as described in 

detail in the Draft EIS/EIR. 

The preferred alternative identified in 

the Draft EIS/EIR includes restoring 

5,000 to 7,000 acres in the Marsh to 

fully functioning, self-sustaining tidal 

wetland and protecting and enhancing 

existing tidal wetland acreage; and 

improving the remaining 44,000 to 

46,000 acres of managed wetlands, levee 

stability, and flood and drain 

capabilities, as previously identified in 

the 2007 CALFED Programmatic Record 

of Decision.

of Federally listed species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA).We are revising our 

previous notice of intent (NOI) of 

November 2008 in order to gather 

information necessary to prepare a joint 

EIS/environmental impact report (EIR) 

on the habitat conservation plan (HCP) 

for PG&E’s operation, maintenance, and 

minor new construction activities in the 

North Coast, Central Coast, Sacramento 

Valley, and Sierra regions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We intend 

to prepare an EIS under NEPA regarding 

an expected application from PG&E for 

a permit authorizing incidental take of 

Federally listed species under the ESA. 

We are revising our previously 

published NOI (November 25, 2008; 73 

FR 71668) to gather information 

necessary to prepare, in coordination 

with the California Department of Fish 

and Game (CDFG) and PG&E, a joint 

EIS/EIR on the HCP for PG&E’s 

operation, maintenance, and minor new 

construction activities in the North 

Coast, Central Coast, Sacramento Valley, 

and Sierra regions. This revised notice 

describes the two main changes to the 

proposed action, which are the addition 

of the Mojave Region (Figure 1) to the 

study area and a change in proposed 

covered species list (Table 1). 

We are providing this notice to: (1) 

Describe revisions to the proposed 

action; (2) update other Federal and 

State agencies, affected Tribes, and the 

public of the revised scope of the 

environmental review for this EIS/EIR; 

(3) announce the initiation of a new 

public scoping period; and (4) obtain 

suggestions and information on the 

scope of issues and alternatives to be 

included in the EIS/EIR. 

The following table (Table 1) shows 

the changes by status and number of 

proposed covered species for which 

PG&E is anticipating requesting a 

permit:

Background Information 

The 2008 NOI specified that the plan 

area encompassed approximately 

550,000 acres, including the right of 

way surrounding PG&E’s gas and 

electric transmission and distribution 

facilities, lands owned by PG&E and/or 

subject to PG&E easements for these 

facilities, private access routes 

associated with PG&E’s activities, future 

minor new construction areas, and 

mitigation areas for impacts resulting 

from PG&E’s covered activities. The 

plan area included the network of PG&E 

facilities in 36 counties, including 18 

counties within the Sacramento Valley 

Region, 20 counties within the Sierra 

Region (of which 12 overlap with the 

Sacramento Valley), 6 counties within 

the Central Coast Region, and 4 counties 

within the North Coast Region (of which 

1 overlaps with the Sacramento Valley). 

PG&E originally intended to request a 

permit for 109 species under the HCP: 

75 Federally listed and 34 unlisted 

species (covered species). We 

anticipated that PG&E would request a 

permit duration of 50 years. We held a 

public scoping meeting and Web 

conference in Sacramento, California, 

on December 4, 2008. We received 

public and agency comments through 

December 26, 2008. 

Revisions to Project/Proposed Action 

PG&E proposes to add approximately 

23,000 acres to the plan area with the 

inclusion of the Mojave Region, which 

would increase the total plan area to 

approximately 573,000 acres in 36 

counties. Within the 23,000 acres of the 

Mohave Region, PG&E proposes to 

implement operations and maintenance 

activities along an existing gas 

transmission line, which stretches from 

central Kern County to eastern San 

Bernardino County. A map of the new 

region to be added is attached (see 

Figure 1). Activities that may be covered 

under the HCP in the Mojave Region 

include a variety of tasks associated 

with the operation and maintenance of 

PG&E’s gas transmission system, as 

mandated for public safety by the 

California Public Utilities Commission, 

the California Energy Commission, and 

the California Department of 

Transportation. More specifically, these 

activities would be restricted to: Gas 

pipeline protection, recoating, repair, 

and replacement, and vegetation 

management to maintain clearances 

around facilities. Preliminary analysis 

conducted by PG&E to date suggests that 

up to 5 acres of permanent impacts and 

555 acres of temporary impacts are 

likely to occur as a result of proposed 

covered activities in the Mojave Region 

over a 50-year timeframe. 

Because some species were 

inadvertently omitted from the original 

NOI and the present addition of the 

Mojave Region to the proposed action, 

PG&E added 71 species to the proposed 

covered species list since the 2008 NOI. 

The proposed covered species list has 

increased from a total of 109 species to 

180 species. The 180 species PG&E 

currently proposes to address in the 

HCP include 57 animal species and 123 

plant species (Table 2). Additional 

changes to the proposed covered species 

list may occur during the development 

of the HCP.
