Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region

American Falls Reservoir District #2 Proposed Title Transfer

This title transfer involves facilities associated with the Gooding Division of the Minidoka Project, primarily the Milner-Gooding Canal in southeastern Idaho.

The EA evaluated the effects of the proposed action on the natural resources in the area, including endangered species, Indian trust assets, and cultural resources. Reclamation has found that the transfer will have no significant effect on the environment.

Reclamation distributed a draft EA in May 2005 and received three letters of comment. The comments are addressed in the section of the FONSI titled Public Comments to the Draft Environmental Assessment.
