For Release: June 12, 2009
The Bureau of Reclamation announces the availability of the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and 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 located about 23 miles northwest of Yuba City, California.
The proposed action is to amend the performance period of the existing reimbursement agreement for an additional 36 months. The extension is necessary for Reclamation to continue supplying full Level 2 water to the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. The EA examined the effects of this extension. The Draft EA and FONSI were available for a public review in May 2009. Reclamation received no written comments on the documents. The Final EA and FONSI are available online at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=3609.
All documents were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. If you encounter problems accessing documents online, please call 916-978-5100, or e-mail ibr2mprpao@usbr.gov.
