For Release: May 01, 2009
The Bureau of Reclamation announces the availability of the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the amendment to the agreement between the United States and the State of California for the reimbursement of deep well pumping costs on the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. The Draft EA and FONSI are available for a 15-day public comment period.
The proposed action is to amend the performance period of the existing reimbursement agreement to an additional 36-months. The extension is necessary for Reclamation to continue supplying full Level 2 water to the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. The Draft EA examines the effects of this extension.
