New Melones Lake Area Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement New Melones Lake Area Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement Final Scoping Summary Report U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region Central California Area Office June 2007 This page intentionally left blank. Summary The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, is preparing a resource management plan/environmental impact statement (RMP/EIS) for Reclamation-managed lands located at New Melones Lake in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. The New Melones Lake Area is managed by Reclamation’s Central California Area Office (CCAO), part of its Mid-Pacific Region. The RMP/EIS will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to evaluate contemporary resources and recreation needs for the New Melones Lake Area, while ensuring the Eastside Division of the Central Valley Project continues to meet its authorized purposes of flood control, water supply, power, recreation, water quality, and fish and wildlife enhancement. Public involvement for the New Melones Lake Area RMP/EIS is being conducted in five phases: • Public scoping prior to NEPA analysis to determine the scope of issues and alternatives to be addressed in the RMP/EIS; • Public outreach via project updates, a project Web site, news releases, and newspaper advertisements; • Collaboration with Federal, State, local, and tribal governments; • Public review and comment on the draft alternatives developed to frame the analysis of the RMP/EIS evaluation; and • Public review and comment on the draft RMP/EIS, which analyzes likely environmental effects and identifies Reclamation’s preferred alternative. This report documents the results of the first three phases of the public involvement process. Public Scoping Activities Scoping allows agencies, stakeholders, and interested parties to identify or suggest resources to be evaluated, issues that may require environmental review, reasonable alternatives to consider, and potential mitigation (ways to reduce or avoid environmental impacts) if significant adverse effects are identified. Scoping also allows Reclamation to clearly set the parameters of the environmental review process by determining which issues will be addressed in the environmental documentation provides a rationale for those determinations. Lastly, scoping provides decision makers with insight into the analyses that the public believes should be considered as part of the RMP/EIS process. The formal public scoping process for the New Melones Lake Area RMP/EIS began on December 18, 2006, with the publication of the notice of intent (NOI) in the Federal New Melones Lake Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement June 2007 Final Scoping Summary Report S-1 Register. The NOI initiated the public scoping process and notified the public of Reclamation’s intent to develop an RMP/EIS for the New Melones Lake Area. The public was notified of the scoping meetings by several media. The project Web site at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/ccao/field_offices/new_melones/index.html, provides background information about the project, a public involvement timeline and calendar, maps and photos of the planning area, and copies of public information documents, such as the NOI and project update. A project update was mailed on January 22, 2007, to 791 individuals from the public, agencies, and local organizations. The project update introduced Reclamation and the RMP/EIS planning process, provided a project milestones timeline, and suggested methods for public involvement. Finally, Reclamation advertised the meetings in several area newspapers, including the Stockton Record, the Manteca Bulletin, the Sonora Union Democrat, and the Calaveras Enterprise. During the last week of January 2007, public meetings were held in three locations within the project planning area. A fourth meeting for agency officials was held at the beginning of the week. Seventy-seven people attended these meetings, which are described in greater detail in Section 1.3.5. Public Scoping Results Four hundred and two written comments were submitted by 148 commentors as of March 19, 2007, and have been incorporated into this Scoping Summary Report. Of these, 29 were submitted by government agencies, 109 were submitted by nongovernmental organizations, and 264 were submitted by members of the public. Each submittal was read and evaluated to determine discrete comments and was logged and categorized by the issues and concerns raised. All comments will be considered in alternative formulation and project planning. Issue Summary Most comments focused on access (20 percent), biological resources (12 percent), facilities (12 percent), and recreation (20 percent). Although not tallied with the written scoping comments, verbal comments received during the scoping meetings and through consultations and discussions with individuals, organizations, and agencies were compared and considered in the scoping evaluation. Section 3 contains a numeric breakdown of the comments received, a summary of the issues identified in those comments, and a list of the comments received. New Melones Lake Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement June 2007 Final Scoping Summary Report S-2 Future Steps Reclamation will use the scoping report to evaluate the issues raised by the public and agencies and to organize them into issue statements that can be applied to the next phase of planning (see Appendix A: Planning Issues). The next phase of Reclamation’s planning process is to develop management alternatives, which will be analyzed in a draft RMP/EIS. Although Reclamation welcomes public input at any time during the planning process, the next official public comment period will begin when the draft alternatives are published, which is anticipated for the fall of 2007. A further opportunity to comment on the proposed project will occur when the draft RMP/EIS is released for public review and comment. Release dates and comment periods for both of these events will be published in project updates and displayed on the project Web site. Availability of the draft RMP/EIS and draft alternatives will be published in the Federal Register, along with meeting schedules.

  • Executive Summary
    Preliminary Mitigated Negative Declaration Date: January 9, 2019 Case No.: 2016-006868ENV Project Title: SFPUC Reliable Power Project Project Location: Portions of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Rights of Way in Stanislaus, Mariposa, and Tuolumne Counties Zoning: Various Project Sponsor San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Antonia Sivyer (415) 554-2474 Lead Agency: San Francisco Planning Department Staff Contact: Timothy Johnston – (415) 575-9035 [email protected] PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) proposes to implement the Reliable Power Project (proposed project) for maintaining the reliability of the SFPUC’s electrical transmission system between the Holm and Kirkwood Powerhouses and the Warnerville Substation. The project includes implementation of a long-term vegetation management program that would address the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s reliability standard (FAC-003) and other regulatory requirements that seek to minimize the risk of power outages and fires from vegetation contact with transmission lines on or near the right of way for electrical transmission lines1. In addition to implementation of the vegetation management program, the proposed project would include repairs and replacements for culverts associated with transmission line access roads and construction of a sand storage shed to stockpile sand for winter road treatments needed for access during winter months. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would occur within existing SFPUC facility and right of way boundaries in Stanislaus County, Mariposa County, and Tuolumne County, and would not require the acquisition of new property. Project implementation involving vegetation management would be ongoing. Construction activities and duration for culvert repair and/or replacement would vary along the transmission corridor, but would be short-term in nature, generally requiring a few of days to a couple of weeks to complete.

  • Chronology of Major Litigation Involving the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project
    Chronology of Major Litigation Involving the Topic: Litigation Central Valley Project and the State Water Project CHRONOLOGY OF MAJOR LITIGATION INVOLVING THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT AND THE STATE WATER PROJECT I. Central Valley Project 1950 United States v. Gerlach Live Stock Co., 339 U.S. 725 (1950) Riparians on San Joaquin River downstream of Friant Dam sued for damages for impairment of their rights to periodic inundation of their “uncontrolled grasslands.” Under reclamation law, the United States had to recognize prior vested rights and compensate for their impairment. 1958 Ivanhoe Irrig. Dist. v. McCracken, 357 U.S. 275 (1958) Congress did not intend that Section 8 of the Reclamation Act, which generally makes state water law applicable to reclamation projects, would make the 160-acre limitation in Section 5 inapplicable to the CVP. If needed for a project, Reclamation could acquire water rights by the payment of compensation, either through condemnation, or if already taken, through actions by the owners in the courts. 1960 Ivanhoe Irrig. Dist. v. All Parties, 53 Cal.2d 692 (1960) State law conferred legal capacity upon irrigation districts to enter into contracts with federal government for CVP water. Districts could execute the contracts even though they contained the 160-acre limitation under federal law. 1963 Dugan v. Rank, 372 U.S. 609 (1963) Parties claiming water rights along the San Joaquin River downstream of Friant Dam sued the United States and Bureau of Reclamation officials, seeking to enjoin storage or diversion of water at the dam. The Court held that the courts had no jurisdiction over the United States because it had not consented to suit and the McCarran Amendment did not apply.

  • Water Quality Control Plan, Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Amendments to the 1994 Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins The Third Edition of the Basin Plan was adopted by the Central Valley Water Board on 9 December 1994, approved by the State Water Board on 16 February 1995 and approved by the Office of Administrative Law on 9 May 1995. The Fourth Edition of the Basin Plan was the 1998 reprint of the Third Edition incorporating amendments adopted and approved between 1994 and 1998. The Basin Plan is in a loose-leaf format to facilitate the addition of amendments. The Basin Plan can be kept up-to-date by inserting the pages that have been revised to include subsequent amendments. The date subsequent amendments are adopted by the Central Valley Water Board will appear at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, all pages will be dated 1 September 1998. Basin plan amendments adopted by the Regional Central Valley Water Board must be approved by the State Water Board and the Office of Administrative Law. If the amendment involves adopting or revising a standard which relates to surface waters it must also be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) [40 CFR Section 131(c)].

The Central Valley of California is a magnificent example of this. The Sacramento River watershed receives two-thirds to three-quarters of northern California's precipitation though it only has one-third to one-quarter of the land. The San Joaquin River watershed occupies two- thirds to three-quarter of northern California's land,
