AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)
proposes to prepare an environmental
document for the purpose of evaluating
options for management of natural
resources within the Newlands Project.
The purpose of the action is to
prepare a Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for the lands managed in
association with the Newlands Project.
The RMP will be used to foster proper
stewardship of public lands. The goal of
Reclamation’s RMP is to create a
balance of resource development,

waters being managed. The plan will
outline Reclamation management
actions that will be implemented over a
10-year planning span.
DATES: Public scoping meetings will be
held to solicit public input on
identification of resource issues on
Newlands Project lands and features,
and for the development of alternative
management strategies for those
resources. There will be additional
opportunities to comment on the scope
of alternatives and impacts at such time
as those alternatives and impacts have
been further developed through the
