For Release: January 28, 2008

Reclamation is making available for public review a variety of supporting documents related to the environmental study of the proposed Southern Delivery System. These reports and studies provide much of the technical background for the forthcoming Draft Environmental Impact Statement Reclamation is preparing in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.

The technical documents will be posted to www.sdseis.com throughout the week with most being available on Monday, January 28. Persons interested in the technical content of the Draft EIS may want to review one or more of the documents in advance of the Draft EIS release.

At this time, the Draft EIS is anticipated to become publicly available the last week of February. A series of public open houses reviewing the Draft EIS will also be held later in the spring.

For more information on the SDS EIS, please contact Kara Lamb with the Bureau of Reclamation at (970) 215-9545 or visit www.sdseis.com.
