SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
Carson City Field Office received
separate rights-of-way applications from
the Fish Springs Ranch, LLC and
Intermountain Water Supply, LTD, two
independent water companies,
proposing to construct and operate
water transmission pipelines across
public lands in Washoe County,
Nevada. The BLM determined that due
to the same timing, geography, and
similarity of the types of actions, the
two proposals would be analyzed in one
EIS, together known as the North
Valleys Rights-of-Way Projects. Each
company is proposing to construct and
operate water supply and transmission
projects to meet present and future
water demands of the Stead/Silver Lake/
Lemmon Valley areas (North Valleys) in
Washoe County. The proposed Projects
consist of groundwater production
wells, pump station(s), transmission
pipeline(s), electrical substation,
overhead power lines, and terminal
water storage tank(s) to convey water.
The Fish Springs Ranch LLC proposed
pipeline (carrying approximately 8000
acre-feet per year) would begin at the
Fish Springs Ranch and proceed
approximately 33 miles to the North
Valleys. The Intermountain Water
Supply, LTD proposed pipeline
(carrying approximately 3500 acre-feet
per year) would begin in Dry Valley and
proceed east a short distance before
tying into the same general route south
approximately 24 miles to the North
Valleys.
The Draft EIS assesses the impacts of
the two proposed rights-of-way actions
and the No Action alternatives and
