Notice of Availability of the Draft
Alamosa River Watershed Restoration
Master Plan
AGENCIES: Bureau of Land Management,
Department of the Interior, lead; Fish
and Wildlife Service; cooperating
agency; United States Forest Service,
Department of Agriculture, cooperating
agency.
ACTION: Notice of Release of Draft
Alamosa River Watershed Restoration
Master Plan.
SUMMARY: This notice advises the public
and other agencies of availability of the
Draft Alamosa River Watershed
Restoration Master Plan (ARWRMP) for
comment. The draft plan describes the
Alamosa River environment and the
impacts to watershed resources and
land uses, and briefly describes
proposed restoration projects. It
comprehensively addresses all
watershed restoration needs, including
those resulting from injuries pursuant to
the federal Natural Resource Damage
Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR)
regulations in CFR 43 part 11, as well
as restoration needs arising from other
impacts. The draft plan also outlines
several sets of projects based on
competing needs and limited funding,
and proposes a preferred restoration
alternative, consisting of a project set
that best addresses the various resource
impacts. The preferred alternative
provides for natural resource restoration
within the Alamosa River watershed.
The draft plan envisions funds from the
NRDAR settlement, along with matching
funds, grants, and other funding
sources, to support the preferred
alternative. The restoration actions
ultimately undertaken will result from
proposals for specific actions that
respond to the needs and selected
projects identified in the preferred
restoration alternative.
DATES: A public meeting will be held to
present the draft plan and to respond to
comments and questions. This meeting
will be held on March 21, 2005 at 6:30
p.m. at Centauri School just south of La
Jara, Colorado on highway 285. Persons

plan at the addresses given below for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA, more commonly known
as the federal ‘‘Superfund’’ law) [42
U.S.C. 9601, et seq.] and the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, commonly
known as the Clean Water Act (CWA)
[33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq.] authorize
States, federally recognized Tribes, and
certain federal agencies, which have the
authority to manage or control natural
resources, to act as ‘‘trustees’’ on behalf
of the public, to restore, rehabilitate,
replace, and/or acquire natural
resources equivalent to those harmed by
hazardous substance releases. The U.S.
Department of the Interior (represented
by the Bureau of Land Management and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), U.S.
Department of Agriculture (represented
by the U.S. Forest Service), the State of
Colorado (represented by the
Departments of Law, Natural Resources,
and Public Health and the Environment)
are Trustees for natural resources
considered in this Natural Resource
Damage Assessment and Restoration
(NRDAR) project, pursuant to subpart G
of the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
(40 CFR 300.600 and 300.610) and
Executive Order 12580.
The objective of the NRDAR process
in the Alamosa River watershed is to
compensate the public, through
restoration actions, for losses to natural
resources and services that have been
caused by releases of toxic metals into
the watershed. Restoration activities
will be funded in part by natural
resource damages recovered in
settlement from the party responsible
for recent contamination emanating
from the Summitville mine in the upper
watershed. The damages received must
be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace
