SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento District (Corps), 

will prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for the Elverta Specific 

Plan project, a proposed master planned 

community in Sacramento County, CA. 

The Elverta Owners Group has applied 

for Department of Army permits to fill 

approximately 39 acres of waters of the 

United States, including wetlands, to 

construct this project. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments to Kathleen Dadey, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento 

District, 1325 J Street, Room 1480, 

Sacramento, CA 95814–2922. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions about the proposed action 

and EIS should be addressed to 

Kathleen Dadey, (916) 557–7253, e-mail: 

Kathleen.A.Dadey@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Elverta Specific Plan (Plan) addresses 

future land uses on approximately 1,745 

acres in north-central Sacramento 

County, California. The Elverta Owners 

Group has applied for Department of the 

Army permits under Section 404 of the 

Clean Water Act to develop 

approximately 775.6 acres of the Plan 

area as the initial phase of the Plan. The 

Elverta Owners Group, which is 

comprised of 13 applicants, has 

submitted one application for the 

infrastructure to serve the Plan area and 

individual permit applications for 22 

separate development parcels (projects). 

Each of the projects is complete and 

independent from one another; 

however, each of the projects relies 

upon the common drainage, roadways, 

and sewer infrastructure as described in 

the infrastructure permit application. 

An Environmental Impact Report 

(EIR) was prepared for the Plan by the 

Sacramento County Department of 

Environmental Review and Assessment 

(DERA) under the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 

EIR provided a site plan that identified 

participant properties included in the 

project at the time of publication. Since 

that time the mix of included properties
