compliance, would protect springflow
for the covered species. Minimum
required springflows equivalent to
historical conditions would be ensured
under Alternative 3. However, this
alternative would employ the most
severe regulatory measures to achieve
the level of pumping reductions needed
and would require one or more sources
of replacement water for some
indeterminate fraction of the amount
curtailed to meet residual demand.
Alternative 4: Water Supply
Augmentation and Substitution. Under
Alternative 4 BSEACD would propose
an HCP and seek a 5 year ITP.
Alternative 4 would involve the
development of other alternative water
supplies that would augment the
amount of water pumped from the
Aquifer, substitute for Aquifer
withdrawals, or involve a combination
of both to achieve the goal of
substantially reducing Aquifer pumping
to a level below 1 cfs in order to provide
for a minimum average monthly
springflow of 11 cfs during drought of
record conditions. As additional water
supplies become available, the amount
of Aquifer pumping would be reduced
in direct proportion to the amount of
water augmented or substituted.
BSEACD currently does not have the
regulatory authority to develop
alternative water supplies. Use of
augmented or substituted water supplies
would have to be implemented
voluntarily as is currently being done by
some users within the permit area.
There are also current limitations on the
amount of alternative water supplies
that could economically be made
available to groundwater users within
the region.
Section 9 of the Act and its
implementing regulations prohibit
‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife species listed
as threatened or endangered under
section 4 of the Act. However, section
10(a) of the Act authorizes us to issue
permits to take listed wildlife species
where such take is incidental to, and not
the purpose of, otherwise lawful
activities and where the applicant meets
certain statutory requirements.
Public Meeting
The Service will hold a public
meeting during the public comment
period. The date, time, and location of
the meeting will be noticed in local
newspapers at least two weeks before
the meeting and will also be posted on
the following Web site: https://www.fws.

EPA’s Role in the EIS Process
In addition, EPA is publishing a
notice announcing the dEIS, as required
under section 309 of the Clean Air Act.
The publication date of EPA’s notice of
availability is the official start of the
public comment period for the dEIS.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA also must
subsequently announce the final EIS via
the Federal Register. The EPA is
charged under section 309 of the Clean
Air Act to review all Federal agencies’
EISs and to comment on the adequacy
and the acceptability of the
environmental impacts of proposed
actions in the EISs.
EPA also serves as the repository (EIS
database) for EISs prepared by Federal
agencies and provides notice of their
availability in the Federal Register. The
EIS database provides information about
EISs prepared by Federal agencies, as
well as EPA’s comments concerning the
EISs. All EISs are filed with EPA, which
publishes a notice of availability on
Fridays in the Federal Register.
The notice of availability is the start
of the 60-day public comment period for
draft EISs. For more information, see
https://www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/
eisdata.html. You may search for EPA
comments on EISs, along with EISs
themselves, at https://cdxnodengn.epa.

Public Availability of Comments
Written comments we receive become
part of the public record associated with
this action. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal

you can request in your comment that
we withhold your personal identifying
