25500 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 101 / Thursday, May 28, 2009 / Notices 

4. Alternatives. (a) No Action: No 

plans would be implemented to reduce 

flood risk. (b) Proposed Alternative 

Plans: None have been formulated to 

date. 

5. Public Involvement. Public 

involvement, an essential part of the EIS 

process, is integral to assessing the 

environmental consequences of the 

proposed action and improving the 

quality of the environmental decision 

making. The public includes affected 

and interested Federal, State, and local 

agencies, Indian tribes, concerned 

citizens, stakeholders, and other 

interested parties. Public participation 

in the EIS process will be strongly 

encouraged, both formally and 

informally, to enhance the probability of 

a more technically accurate, 

economically feasible, and socially and 

politically acceptable EIS. Public 

involvement will include but is not 

limited to: Information dissemination; 

identification of problems, needs and 

opportunities; idea generation; public 

education; problem solving; providing 

feedback on proposals; evaluation of 

alternatives; conflict resolution by 

consensus; public and scoping notices 

and meetings; public, stakeholder and 

advisory groups consultation and 

meetings; and making the EIS and 

supporting information readily available 

in conveniently located places, such as 

libraries and on the Internet. 

Participation of all interested Federal, 

State, and County resource agencies, as 

well as Native American peoples, 

groups with environmental interests, 

and all interested individuals is 

encouraged. Public involvement will be 

most beneficial and worthwhile in 

identifying pertinent environmental 

issues, offering useful information such 

as published or unpublished data, direct 

personal experience or knowledge 

which inform decision making, 

assistance in defining the scope of plans 

which ought to be considered, and 

recommending suitable mitigation 

measures warranted by such plans. 

Those wishing to contribute 

information, ideas, alternatives for 

actions, and so forth can furnish these 

contributions in writing to the points of 

contacts indicated above, or by 

attending public scoping meetings. 

Notice of public scoping meetings will 

be published in the local and regional 

newspapers. 

When plans have been devised and 

alternatives formulated to embody those 

plans, potential environmental and 

social impacts will be evaluated in the 

DEIS. These analyses will emphasize at 

least fifteen categories of resources: 

Land use, hazardous wastes, physical 

environment, hydrology, groundwater, 

biological, archaeological, historical, 

geological, air quality, noise, 

transportation, socioeconomics, and 

safety. 

6. Scoping Process. Scoping, an early 

and open process for identifying the 

scope of significant issues related to the 

proposed action to be addressed in the 

EIS, will be used to: (a) Identify the 

affected public and agency concerns; (b) 

facilitate an efficient EIS preparation 

process; (c) define the issues and 

alternatives that will be examined in 

detail in the EIS; and (d) save time in 

the overall process by helping to ensure 

that the Draft EIS adequately addresses 

relevant issues. An initial public 

scoping meeting will be held on 

Thursday, June 25, 2009, in Surprise, 

AZ. Announcements through local and 

regional media, as well as a scoping 

meeting public notice announcing the 

location, date and time of the scoping 

meeting will be mailed to all interested 

parties during June 2009. Interested 

parties are encouraged to express their 

views throughout the entire study 

process. Comments will be welcomed at 

the public scoping meeting. In addition, 

written comments will also be accepted 

during the scoping comment period 

which will extend 30 days from the date 

of the scoping meeting public notice. 

7. Interagency Coordination and 

Cooperation. The USACE and the 

USFWS have formally committed to 

work together to conserve, protect, and 

restore fish and wildlife resources while 

ensuring environmental sustainability of 

our Nation’s water resources under the 

January 22, 2003, Partnership 

Agreement for Water Resources and 

Fish and Wildlife. The USFWS will 

provide a Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act Report. Coordination 

will be maintained with the USFWS 

regarding threatened and endangered 

species under their jurisdictional 

responsibilities. The Arizona Game and 

Fish Department (AZGFD) will be 

consulted concerning potential impacts 

to sensitive species and habitats. 

Coordination will be maintained with 

the Advisory Counsel on Historic 

Preservation and the State Historic 

Preservation Officer (SHPO). 

Coordination will be maintained with 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) concerning 

compliance with Executive Order 

12898, ‘‘Federal Action to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations.’’ 

8. Availability of the EIS. It is 

anticipated that the DEIS will be 

available for public review during the 

spring of 2011. The DEIS or a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) will be provided 

during the 45-day review period to 

affected Federal, State and local 

agencies, Indian Tribes, and other 

interested parties.
