Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 13, 2006 / Notices
larger chloride control project by the
Flood Control Act of 1966, approved
November 7, 1966, (Pub. L. 89–789), SD
110; as modified by the Flood Control
Act approved December 31, 1970, (Pub.
L. 91–611); as amended by the Water
Resources Development Acts of 1974
(Pub. L. 93–251) and 1976 (Pub. L. 94–
587). Section 1107 of the Water
Resources Development Act of 1986
amended the above authorization to
separate the overall project into the
Arkansas River Basin and the Red River
Basin and authorized the Red River
Basin for construction subject to a
favorable report by a review panel on
the performance of Area VIII. The
review panel submitted a favorable
report to the Public Works Committee of
the House and Senate in August 1988
indicating that Area VIII was performing
as designed. The portion of the
authorized project on the Elm Fork of
the North Fork of the Red River in
southwestern Oklahoma consists of
Area VI. The authorized plan consisted
of collection of brines emitted from
three box canyons flowing to the Elm
Fork of the North Fork of the Red River
and transport of these brines via
pipeline to a brine storage surface
impoundment.
Reasonable alternatives to be
considered include various
combinations of plans for deep well
injection, collection facilities, size and
locations of brine storage surface
impoundment(s), pipeline sizes and
routes, and no action.
Significant issues to be addressed in
the SFES include: (1) Hydrological,
biological, and water quality issues
concerning fish, aquatic invertebrates,
algae, aquatic macrophytes, wetland/
riparian ecosystem of the Elm Fork of
the North Fork and North Fork of the
Red River, and Red River above Lake
Texoma to the confluence of the North
Fork of the Red River; (2) a Lake
Texoma component including chloride/
turbidity relationships, chloride/fish
reproduction issues, chloride/plankton
community issues, chloride/nutrient
dynamic issues, and associated impacts
on lake sport fishes and recreation; (3)
a selenium (Se) component addressing
Se concentrations and impacts on biota;
(4) cumulative effects related to portions
of the Red River Chloride Control
Project (RRCCP) already constructed
and those approved for construction in
the Wichita River Basin of Texas; (5)
habitat mitigation issues; (6) Section 401
water quality issues; (7) impacts on the
commercial bait fishery of the upper
Red River; (8) Federally-listed
threatened and endangered species; (9)
cultural resources; and (10)
unquantifiable/undefined impacts.

Scoping meetings for the project are
anticipated to be conducted in late
summer, 2006. News releases informing
the public and local, state, and Federal
agencies of the proposed action will be
published in local newspapers.
Comments received as a result of this
notice and the news releases will be
used to assist the Tulsa District in
identifying potential impacts to the
quality of the human or natural
environment. Affected Federal, State, or
local agencies, affected Indian tribes,
and other interested private
organizations and parties may
participate in the scoping process by
forwarding written comments to (see
ADDRESSES) or attending the scoping
meetings.
