NMFS requests interested persons to
submit comments, information, and
suggestions concerning this request (see
ADDRESSES).
NMFS within 90 days after the
expiration of the IHA, if it is issued.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
NMFS has prepared a draft EA for
public review and comment (see
ADDRESSES), that describes the impact
on the human environment that would
result from implementation of this
action. NMFS has concluded,
preliminarily, that no significant impact
on the human environment would
result.
ESA
NMFS is conducting a Section 7
consultation under the ESA to make a
determination whether the proposed
research project would be likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
the eastern U.S. stock of Steller sea
lions.
Preliminary Determinations
For the reasons discussed in this
document and in the identified
supporting documents, NMFS has
preliminarily determined that the
impact of seabird research on Southeast
Farallon Island, Ano Nuevo Island, and
Point Reyes NS would result, at worst,
in the Level B harassment of small
numbers of California sea lions, Pacific
harbor seals, northern elephant seals,
and Steller sea lions hauled out in the
vicinity of the proposed research area.
While behavioral modifications,
including temporarily vacating the area
during the survey period, may be made
by these species to avoid the resultant
visual disturbance, the availability of
alternate areas within these areas and
haul-out sites has led NMFS to
preliminarily determine that this action
will have a negligible impact on
California sea lions, Pacific harbor seals,
northern elephant seals, and Steller sea
lions.
In addition, no take by Level A
harassment (injury) or death is
anticipated and harassment takes
should be at the lowest level practicable
due to incorporation of the mitigation
measures described in this document.

Proposed Authorization
NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to
PRBO for the potential harassment of
small numbers of California sea lions,
harbor seals, northern elephant seals,
and Steller sea lions incidental to
conducting of seabird research on
Southeast Farallon Island, Ano Nuevo
Island, and Point Reyes NS, provided
the previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.

ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) Omaha District has
prepared a Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
to analyze the direct, indirect and
cumulative effects of enlarging the
currently permitted Rueter-Hess
Reservoir in Parker, CO. The current
project was authorized in February 2004
with Department of the Army Permit
No. 199980472 (Section 404 Permit).
The basic purpose of the Proposed
Action would allow the reservoir to
serve as a regional water management
facility for multiple water providers in
northern Douglas County; enable them
to meet peak demands; greatly enhance
water management in the region; and
help extend the yield of the Denver
Basin aquifers, a non-renewable water
source and the primary source of water
for the South Metro area. Expansion of
the reservoir would result in direct
impacts to an additional 0.21 acres of
wetlands and 4 miles of intermittent
stream channel (in addition to the 6.7
acres of wetlands and 5 miles of other
waters of the U.S. permitted as part of
the 16,200-acre-foot [AF] reservoir).
This action requires authorization from
the Corps under Section 404 of the
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Clean Water Act. The Permittee and
Applicant is the Parker Water and
Sanitation District (PWSD).
The Draft SEIS was prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, and the Corps’
regulations for NEPA implementation
(33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]
Parts 230 and 325, Appendices B and
C). The Corps, Omaha District,
Regulatory Branch is the lead federal
agency responsible for the Draft SEIS
and information contained in the SEIS
serves as the basis for a decision
regarding issuance of a Section 404
Permit modification. It also provides
information for local and state agencies
having jurisdictional responsibility for
affected resources.
DATES: Written comments on the Draft
SEIS will be accepted on or before
August 27, 2007. Oral and/or written
comments may also be presented at the
Public Hearings to be held at 7 p.m. on
Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at the Douglas
County Office Building (Philip S. Miller
Bldg.), Hearing Room (100 Third Street),
Castle Rock, CO and on Wednesday,
August 22, 2007 at the North Water
Reclamation Plant (18100 East
Woodman Drive), Parker, CO.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments
regarding the Proposed Action and Draft
SEIS to Rodney Schwartz, Senior Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Omaha District—Regulatory Branch,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rodney Schwartz, Senior Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
at 402–221–4143; Fax 402–221–4939.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Draft SEIS is to provide
decision-makers and the public with
information pertaining to the Proposed
Action and alternatives, and to disclose
environmental impacts and identify
mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
PWSD proposes to enlarge the RueterHess Reservoir from the currently
permitted design of 16,200 AF by 55,800
AF for a total storage capacity of
approximately 72,000 AF. This is
considered the site’s maximum storage
capacity based on the site’s topography.
The proposed expanded reservoir pool
would inundate approximately 1,140
acres (an additional 672 acres). PWSD
would maintain a 5,000-AF emergency
reserve pool in the reservoir (elevation
6,110 feet) to be used as needed to
provide a reliable water supply for its
