prior to dam construction and
determination of how or whether the
dam has contributed to water quality
impairment as part of the ‘‘baseline
conditions analysis’’. After the analysis,
future studies would be determined
with the resource agencies, Local
Sponsors, and Stakeholders.

Attention to Randy Tabije, Ecosystem
Planning.
DATES: A public scoping meeting has
been scheduled for Wednesday, May 31,
2006 at 7 p.m. at the San Bernardino
County Flood Control District Offices,
825 East Third Street, San Bernadino,
CA 92415.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
1. Authorization
A specific appropriation to initiate the
study was provided in the Energy and
Water Development Appropriations Bill,
2006, approved May 18, 2005: ‘‘Santa
Ana River Mainstem, California—* * *;
and $1,000,000 is available for the
Seven Oaks Dam Water Quality Study.’’
2. Background
The Seven Oaks Dam is part of the
Santa Ana River Mainstem Project that
provides flood control to downstream
communities in three counties. All of
the storage space (currently computed at
147,900 acre-feet) behind Seven Oaks
Dam is allocated to flood control and
estimated sediment deposition
purposes. The basic plan of operation is
to store flood runoff until the reservoir
elevation at Prado Dam (35 miles
downstream) peaks and starts to fall.
The flood control and environmental
operation plan for Seven Oaks Dam
provides substantial incidental water
conservation benefits. Flood events that
normally sweep rapidly past water
conservation diversion facilities are now
captured by the dam, and released at
rates that are much smaller than the
inflow to the dam. The relatively slower
release of flood runoff is also for a much
longer duration than the natural flood
event. The anticipated net result is a
greatly enhanced capability for water
agencies to divert flood runoff than
without the dam.
3. Proposed Objectives
The purpose of this study is to
evaluate the impacts, if any, of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
Seven Oaks Dam and present an array
of recommendations to achieve and
sustain water quality to the pre-Seven
Oaks Dam level(s). Based on the results
of the water quality analysis,
determinations would be made for the
need of any further studies. No
proposed alternative plans have been
formulated to date. Proposed objectives
are:
a. Identify links between water
quality, water conservation, and other
environmental impacts.
b. Identify degraded water quality and
quantify the types and sources of
pollution.
c. Develop targets for water quality,
based on pre-dam conditions.
d. Inventory and evaluate a suite of
structural, non-structural, and other
measures capable of improving water
quality.
e. Integrate planned and existing
water-quality, restoration, and
management programs with other
Federal, State, Tribal (if applicable), and
local programs and projects.
f. Recommend additional programs
and projects needed for improvement of
water quality.
g. Identify appropriate sources of
funding.
4. Scoping Process
a. Potential impacts associated with
the proposed action will be evaluated.
Resource categories that will be
analyzed are: land use, physical
environment, geology, biological
resources, agricultural resources, air
quality, ground water, recreational
usage, aesthetics, cultural resources,
transportation/communication,
hazardous waste, socioeconomic and
safety.
b. Participation of affected Federal,
State and local resource agencies, Native
American groups and concerned interest
groups/individuals is encouraged in the
scoping process. Time and location of
the Public Scoping meeting will also be
announced by means of a letter, public
announcements and news release.
Public participation will be especially
important in defingin the scope of
analysis in the Environment Impact
Statement (EIS), identifying significant
environmental issues and impact
analysis in the EIS and providing useful
information such as published and
unpublished data, personal knowledge
of relevant issues and recommending
mitigative measures associated with the
proposed action. Those interested in
providing information or data relevant
to the environmental or social impacts
that should be included or considered
in the environmental analysis can
furnish this information by writing to

pertinent data may be distributed to
interested parties.
