Mann, Section Chief, (907) 334–5277. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed action would recover and 

process oil from the Liberty oil field and 

transport sales-quality oil to market. To 

accomplish this, the applicant for the 

DPP would construct a Liberty Drilling 

and Production Island (LDPI) to recover 

reserves from three Federal leases 

(OCS–Y–1585, OCS–Y–1650, and OCS– 

Y–1886) in Foggy Island Bay of the 

Beaufort Sea. The applicant would 

construct a new pipeline linking the 

LDPI to the Badami Sales Oil Pipeline 

(Badami pipeline). The applicant would 

bury the subsea portion (approximately 

5.6 miles) of the pipeline along a route 

leading south from the LDPI to the 

Alaska coastline west of the 

Kadleroshilik River. The pipeline would 

transition to an above-ground portion 

(approximately 1.5 miles) of the 

pipeline that would continue south to 

tie into the existing Badami pipeline. 

The applicant would produce oil from 

the LDPI, transport it through the 

Badami pipeline to the existing common 

carrier pipeline system, and on to the 

Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Draft 

EIR/EIS describes the Sites Reservoir 

Project, potential alternatives to the 

Sites Reservoir Project, environmental 

setting, potential direct, indirect, and 

cumulative impacts that could result 

from implementation of each of the 

alternatives, and mitigation measures 

for potentially significant impacts, as 

applicable. Four alternative methods of 

constructing and operating the Sites 

Reservoir Project are evaluated in the 

Draft FR to meet all or the majority of 

the purpose, and need, and goals, and 

objectives of the Sites Reservoir Project. 

Other alternatives evaluated over the 

past several decades (some of which 

were the subject of prior CEQA and 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) analyses and decision making) 

are summarized and discussed in 

Chapter 2 Alternatives Analysis of the 

Draft EIR/EIS. 

The proposed Sites Reservoir Project 

facilities would primarily be located in 

Glenn and Colusa counties, 

approximately 10 miles west of the 

town of Maxwell, California. Proposed 

minor modifications to an existing 

diversion facility would also need to 

occur at the existing Red Bluff Pumping 

Plant in Tehama County, California. The 

Sites Reservoir Project would consist of 

a new offstream surface storage reservoir 

(Sites Reservoir) with two main dams, 

up to nine saddle dams, and up to three 

recreation areas. The Sites Reservoir 

would be filled via two existing 

Sacramento River diversions/canals 

(included in all alternatives) and a 

proposed new inlet/outlet structure and 

pipeline (included in the majority of 

alternatives). The pipeline would allow 

for diversion of excess Sacramento River 

flows for most alternatives, and 

discharge of water under all 

alternatives. Water conveyance between 

the reservoir and the canals and 

pipeline would be facilitated by two 

new regulating reservoirs. Pumping/

generating plants would also be 

included as part of most alternatives. A 

new overhead power line would 

connect the pumping/generating plants 

and their associated electrical 

switchyards to an existing overhead 

power line in the Sites Reservoir Project 

area. New roads and a bridge across the 

proposed Sites Reservoir would be 

constructed to provide access to the 

proposed Sites Reservoir Project 

facilities and over the proposed 

reservoir, and some existing roads 

would be relocated or improved. The 

Sites Reservoir Project would require 

modifications to the T–C Canal and the 

Holthouse Reservoir. A more complete 

description of the Sites Reservoir Project 

can be found in Chapter 3 Description 

of the Sites Reservoir Project 

Alternatives in the Draft EIR/EIS. 

The Sites Reservoir Project is the 

subject of a Notice of Preparation (NOP) 

issued on November 5, 2001, to prepare 

an EIR under CEQA, and a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) published on November 9, 

2001 (66 FR 56708), to prepare an EIS 

under NEPA. The Sites Reservoir Project 

was formerly known as the North-ofDelta Offstream Storage project led by 

the California Department of Water 

Resources (DWR). The Sites Project 

Authority has assumed the role of the 

CEQA lead agency in lieu of DWR and 

will be responsible for constructing, 

operating, and maintaining the Sites 

Reservoir Project. Because of this 

change in lead agency, the Sites Project 

Authority issued a Supplemental NOP 

on February 2, 2017, for the Draft EIR 

for the Project. 

Reclamation’s involvement in the 

Sites Reservoir Project includes the 

following actions: (1) The development 

of a Federal feasibility report, and 

related EIS under NEPA, to support 

potential funding by the Federal 

Government, pursuant to the Calfed 

Bay-Delta Authorization Act (Pub. L. 

108–361); (2) the potential approval of 

the use of the Tehama-Colusa Canal for 

water diversion and conveyance of 

water to Sites Reservoir; and (3) the 

coordinated operations of Central Valley 

Project (CVP) facilities and the Sites 

Reservoir Project. In addition, 

Reclamation’s involvement in the Sites 

Reservoir Project also could include: (1) 

Potential Federal funding of the Project 

pursuant to the Water Infrastructure 

Improvements for the Nation Act (Pub. 

L. 114–322); (2) participation in the 

power lines to and from the Sites 

Reservoir; (3) involvement in and 

jurisdiction over the potential electrical 

power generation from the Sites 

Reservoir Project; and (4) potential new 

legislative authority to acquire shares of 

the water managed by the Sites Project 

Authority for federal conservation 

activities. 

If special assistance is required at the 

public meetings, please contact Mr. 

Michael Dietl at (916) 978–5070; or via 

email at mdietl@usbr.gov. Please notify 

Mr. Dietl as far in advance as possible 

to enable Reclamation to secure the 

needed services. If a request cannot be 

honored, the requestor will be notified. 

A telephone device for the hearing 

impaired (TTY) is available at (800) 

877–8339. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we
