Hadley Ave. Las Cruces, NM 88005 Contract Number: IBM15D0006 Task Order Number: 191BWC18F0103 COVER SHEET ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE RIO GRANDE CANALIZATION PROJECT Lead Agency: United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) Preferred Alternative: Continued Implementation of the River Management Plan (RMP) and Partnership Combination Report Designation: Environmental Assessment ABSTRACT: The USIBWC has the authority and responsibility to evaluate river management alternatives for future operations and maintenance of the Rio Grande Canalization Project (RGCP) to enhance ecosystem restoration while accomplishing its water delivery and flood control mission. In compliance with NEPA, in 2004, the USIBWC completed the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) River Management Alternatives for the USIBWC Rio Grande Canalization Project for long-term management alternatives of the RGCP. On June 4, 2009, the USIBWC issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for long-term management of the RGCP with a 10-year implementation timeline (June 2009 to June 2019). The RMP incorporates all implementation aspects of the ROD and was developed to provide a guide for enhancing and preserving resources of the RGCP consistent with the USIBWC mission and resource management commitments. The purpose of the project is to continue to implement the RMP.

  • Water Budget Study Final Report
    Page Intentionally Left Blank Executive Summary ES-1. Background The Rio Grande Canalization Project (RGCP) is a narrow river corridor that extends 105.4 miles from Percha Dam at River Mile (RM) 105.4 in Sierra County, New Mexico, to American Dam at RM 0 in El Paso, Texas (USIBWC et al., 2004; Figure ES-1). The RGCP was constructed between 1938 and 1943 to facilitate compliance with the 1906 convention between the United States and Mexico, and to properly regulate and control, to the fullest extent possible, the water supply for use of the two countries as provided by the treaty (USIBWC, 2004). Major elements of the project included acquisition of Right of Way (ROW) for the river channel and adjoining floodways (8,332 acres), improvement of the alignment and efficiency of the river channel conveyance for water delivery, and flood-control measures that extended through the Rincon and Mesilla Valleys of New Mexico and El Paso Valley in Texas. As part of the RGCP, a deeper main channel was dredged to facilitate water delivery for irrigation. Flood protection levees were placed along two-thirds of the length of the RGCP where the channel was not confined by hillslopes or canyon walls (e.g., Selden Canyon). A number of NRCS sediment/flood-control dams were built between 1969 and 1975 on tributary arroyos to control flooding and sediment delivery to the RGCP from about 300 square miles of drainage basin downstream of Percha Dam. The 2010 through 2012 period marks one of the most significant drought periods that have affected Caballo Dam water releases for irrigation purposes, with increasing drought severity in each of the years.
