Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 111 / Friday, June 10, 2005 / Notices
Mossdale portion of West Lathrop
immediately north of the project is
currently undergoing urban
development. Developed portions of the
City of Lathrop are east of Interstate
Highway 5 and the proposed project
site.
The proposed project area covers
approximately 4,905 acres of Stewart
Tract, which flooded in 1997, and
surrounding waterways. The project
would include work in the San Joaquin
River, Old River, Paradise Cut, an
unnamed drainage channel, pond and
adjacent wetlands on Stewart Tract, for
the purpose of rebuilding and
strengthening existing levees,
constructing a series of setback levees,
and constructing residential and
commercial development, including
recreation facilities, back bays and an
interior lake. Excavation and expansion
of Paradise Cut would be undertaken to
increase its storage and flow capacity.
Levees along Old River and the San
Joaquin River would be reconfigured
and strengthened by the addition of soil
on the landward side of the levees to
create high-ground corridors along the
river edges. A new cross-levee would be
build immediately west of, and
paralleling, the existing UPRR right-ofway. The applicant asserts levee work
along the San Joaquin River and Old
River afford the opportunity for back
bays which would create limited flood
control storage, habitat for various Delta
fisheries and sites for recreational
facilities, including marinas.
Under the applicant’s proposed
alternative, approximately 11,000
homes, five million square feet of
commercial and retail space and a
variety of other community facilities
and associated infrastructure would be
constructed. The mixed-use
development would cover
approximately 4,115 acres and include
a town center district, an employment
center, public service facilities, retail
and commercial uses, residential
neighborhoods, lakes and water
features, schools, parks and trails, golf
courses, open space and habitat areas.
Two bridge crossings over the San
Joaquin River and two bridge crossings
over Paradise Cut would be constructed
to provide access to and from the
developed areas. Water-oriented
recreational facilities would include
boat docks, ramps and piers. Docks
sufficient to provide 921 total berths
would be constructed. The applicant
also proposes to create approximately
280 acres of open water habitat and 35
acres of wetlands in the central lake.
A Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the River Islands at
Lathrop Project was certified by the City

of Lathrop in January, 2003. A General
Plan Amendment, West Lathrop
Specific Plan amendment, rezoning and
an Urban Design Concept have also been
approved by the City.
A delineation which identifies
approximately 379 acres of waters of the
United States, including 41.18 acres of
emergent wetlands, 55.23 acres of scrub/
shrub wetlands, 60.92 acres of forested
wetlands, 2.77 acres of pond, and
218.51 acres of riverine/channel aquatic
habitat, within the approximately 5,546acre area surveyed for the project site,
was verified by the Corps on January 30,
2004. The applicant asserts that
approximately 32-acres of waters,
including wetlands, would be lost to
project construction under their
preferred alternative. The proposed
project would also directly and
indirectly impact other waters,
including wetlands, in and around the
project.
The applicant’s proposed conceptual
mitigation for the project’s impacts to
waters consists of creation of
approximately 140 acres of new waters
in Paradise Cut and approximately 85
acres of new waters in the proposed
back bays. These would include
approximately 46 acres of emergent
wetland and shallow water habitat (less
than 10-feet deep) for various fish
species and restoration of approximately
10 acres of wetlands at the Paradise
Weir bench.
The proposed project may affect
federally-listed endangered or
threatened species or their critical
habitat including delta smelt, steelhead,
spring-run chinook salmon, winter-run
chinook salmon, giant garter snake,
riparian brush rabbit, and valley
elderberry longhorn beetle. Other
special status species may occur in the
project area. The proposed project may
adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat
(EFH) as defined in the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. Once a biological
assessment has been completed, the
Corps will initiate formal consultation
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and NOAA Fisheries, under Section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act, for
federally-listed threatened or
endangered species and for EFH that
would be affected by the project. The
Corps will also consult with the State
Historic Preservation Officer under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act for properties listed or
potentially eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places, as
appropriate.
A number of on-site and off-site
project alternatives, including the noaction alternative, will be evaluated in

the DEIS in accordance with NEPA and
the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Potentially significant issues to be
analyzed in depth in the DEIS include,
but are not limited to, wetlands and
terrestrial biology, cultural resources,
water quality, hydrology and flood
protection, floodplain management,
navigation, agricultural resources,
transportation and traffic and air
quality.
The above determinations are based
on information provided by the
applicant and upon the Corps’
preliminary review. The Corps is
soliciting verbal and written comments
from the public, Federal, State and local
agencies and officials, Indian tribes, and
other interested parties in order to
consider and evaluate the impacts of
this proposed activity. The Corps’
public involvement program includes
several opportunities to provide oral
and written comments. Affected
Federal, State, local agencies, Indian
tribes, and other interested private
organizations and the general public are
invited to participate.
