ACTION:
SUMMARY: In the December 28, 2004,
Federal Register, the National Park
Service (NPS) announced the
availability of the draft wilderness and
backcountry management plan/draft
environmental impact statement
(WBMP EIS) for Isle Royale National
Park. Due to technical review delays the

60 days following the publishing of the
notice of availability in the Federal
Register by the Environmental
Protection Agency. The NPS will notice
the draft WBMP EIS availability in local
media. The NPS will notice the Draft

Planning, Environment, and Public
Comment Web site at the following

Summary: Pursuant to Section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, and the
corresponding Council of
Environmental Quality implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–08), the
National Park Service and Bureau of
Reclamation, as lead agencies for the
Department of the Interior, announce
the availability of the Clean Water
Coalition Systems Conveyance and
Operations Program (SCOP) Draft
Environmental Impact Statement.
Consistent with applicable laws and
National Park Service and Bureau of
Reclamation regulations and policies,
the Draft SCOP EIS describes and
analyzes four alternatives including the
no action alternative.
The Draft SCOP Environmental
Impact Statement evaluates the
potential environmental impacts
associated with three action (pipeline)
alternatives, as well as a No-Action (no
pipeline) Alternative. The three action
alternatives include an Effluent
Interceptor (EI) and Lake Conveyance
System (LCS) that would collect and
convey the highly treated effluent from
the three treatment facilities to the Las
Vegas Wash at a point upstream of Lake
Las Vegas or to Lake Mead. The action
alternatives would allow for flexible
management of the highly treated
effluent. A controlled amount of effluent
would continue to be discharged to the
Las Vegas Wash at each facility or at the
EI Terminus. The discharge amount,
velocity, and direction from the LCS
diffuser would also be flexibly operated
depending on the conditions of Lake
Mead.
