Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decisions (ROD) for Williamson River
Delta Restoration Project
Natural Resources
Conservation Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability of the
Record of Decision (ROD) for the
Williamson River Delta Restoration
Project.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice presents the
Record of Decision (ROD) regarding the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) implementation of the
Williamson River Delta Restoration
Project to allow NRCS to restore habitat
diversity for endangered Lost River and
shortnose suckers. NRCS prepared a
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Williamson River Delta
Restoration Project and published it on
the Oregon NRCS Web site. A Notice of
Availability (NOA) of the FEIS was
published in the Federal Register on
July 1, 2005 and all agencies and
individuals who expressed interest in
the project. Printed and CD–ROM
versions of the FEIS were made
available and delivered to all those who
requested. This Decision Notice
summarizes the environmental, social
and economic impacts of the
Williamson River Delta Restoration
Project alternatives identified in the
FEIS that were considered in making
this decision, and explains why NRCS
selected the Preferred Alternative. The
Williamson River Delta Restoration
Project FEIS and this ROD may be
access via the Internet on the Oregon
NRCS Web site at: https://
www.or.nrcs.usda.gov/features/

I. The Decision
Preferred Alternative—As a Means of
Accomplishing the Williamson River
Delta Restoration Project
The Williamson River Delta
Restoration Project (Project) will restore
habitat considered essential for the
recovery of two federally endangered
fish species—the Lost River and
shortnose suckers (suckers)—native to
Upper Klamath Lake and the
Williamson River. The Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
completed a detailed analysis of the
Project alternatives. This included a
thorough evaluation of the resource
areas affected by the Project and a
comprehensive review of public
comments submitted based on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The Preferred Alternative was selected
as the most effective means to meet the
purpose and need of the Project, which
in summary is to restore and maintain
the diversity of habitats that are
essential to the endangered Lost River
and shortnose suckers while, at the
same time, minimizing disturbance and
adverse impacts to natural and cultural
resources. The need for the proposed
action is to increase habitat for suckers.
Suckers historically used the wetland
habitats on the delta but these areas
were eliminated when levees were
constructed around the delta and the
wetlands converted to agricultural uses.
The preferred alternative included
mitigation and monitoring and
enforcement actions as part of the
decision.
Mitigation: Adverse impacts
associated with the Preferred
Alternative will be minimized to the
extent practical, and techniques to
mitigate these impacts will be
implemented as described herein and in
the Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) (USDA 2005).
Erosion control best management
practices (BMPs) will be utilized to
minimize adverse impacts to water
quality potentially occurring as a result
of construction activities. BMPs may
include seasoning exposed areas
(allowing vegetation to establish),
