Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 14, 2009 / Notices 34031 

throughout the planning process for the 

Addition. The resulting document 

provides a framework for management, 

use, and development options for the 

Addition by the NPS for the next 15 to 

20 years. It describes four management 

alternatives for consideration, including 

a no-action alternative that continues 

current management policies, and the 

NPS’s preferred alternative. The three 

action alternatives present a range of 

ORV opportunities, proposed 

wilderness, and visitor facilities. The 

document analyzes the environmental 

impacts of the alternatives. 

The four alternatives (with names as 

they appear in the document) are as 

follows: 

Alternative A: No-Action 

Alternative—the continuation of current 

management practices and trends. The 

enabling legislation would be the longterm document to guide management 

and development of the Preserve. 

Alternative B: The general theme is to 

enable visitor participation in a wide 

variety of challenging outdoor 

recreational experiences. This 

alternative would provide access to up 

to 140 miles of sustainable primary ORV 

trails, while proposing a relatively small 

amount of wilderness. Secondary ORV 

trails, as defined in the plan, could be 

designated in any of the backcountry 

recreation areas, approximately 94,817 

acres or 65 percent of the Addition. 

Preferred Alternative: The general 

theme is to provide a diversity of 

frontcountry and backcountry 

recreational opportunities, enhance day 

use opportunities along road corridors, 

and preserve opportunities for selfreliant recreation. This alternative 

would provide access to up to 140 miles 

of sustainable primary ORV trails, while 

proposing a modest amount of 

wilderness. Secondary ORV trails, as 

defined in the plan, could be designated 

only in the ORV trail corridors and 

other backcountry recreation areas, 

approximately 52,431 acres or 36 

percent of the Addition. 

Alternative F: The general theme is to 

emphasize resource preservation, 

restoration, and research while 

providing recreational opportunities 

with limited facilities and services. This 

alternative would provide no ORV 

trails. It would propose for wilderness 

designation all lands found eligible for 

designation in the Wilderness Eligibility 

Assessment.

The Intertie Draft EIS evaluates 

constructing and operating a pipeline 

connecting between the Delta-Mendota 

Canal (DMC) and the California 

Aqueduct. The purpose of the Proposed 

Action is to improve the DMC 

conveyance conditions that restrict the 

CVP Jones Pumping Plant to less than 

its authorized pumping capacity of 

4,600 cubic feet per second. The Draft 

EIS evaluates four alternatives, 

including the No Action, Proposed 

Action (alternative previously analyzed 

in the Environmental Assessment), an 

alternative location of the same design, 

and a temporary structure. The Intertie 

would be located in an unincorporated 

area of the San Joaquin Valley in 

Alameda County, west of the city of 

Tracy, in a rural agricultural area that is 

owned by the State and Federal 

governments. The primary study area 

includes the Intertie alternative facilities 

and the associated transmission lines 

connecting to the Tracy substation, 

which is located at DMC Milepost 3.5. 

Copies of the Draft EIS are available 

for public review at the following
