Reclamation has extended the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Southern Delivery System by 45 days. The additional 45 days make the new deadline for public comments June 13, 2008.

Supporting documents, technical reports and the entire DEIS are available on-line at www.sdseis.com. A copy of the DEIS Summary, which includes a compact disk of the full DEIS, is also available from Kara Lamb at Reclamation.
