INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND
WATER COMMISSION; UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO
Notice of Availability of Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement, Improvements to the
USIBWC Rio Grande Flood Control
Projects along the Texas-Mexico
Border
United States Section,
International Boundary and Water
Commission (USIBWC).
ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the
United States Section, International
Boundary and Water Commission
(USIBWC) has prepared a Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
for future improvements to three Rio
Grande Flood Control Projects (FCP)
operated by the USIBWC along the
Texas-Mexico Border: The Rectification
FCP, the Presidio FCP and Lower Rio
Grande FCP. The PEIS, prepared in
cooperation with the United States
Bureau of Reclamation, United States
Fish and Wildlife Service and United
States Army Corps of Engineers,
analyzes potential impacts of the No
Action Alternative and three action
alternatives for future FCP
improvements under consideration.
Because several measures under
consideration are at a conceptual level
of development, the USIBWC has taken
a broad programmatic look at the
potential environmental implications of
measures identified for future
implementation. The USIBWC will
apply the programmatic evaluation as
an overall guidance for future
environmental evaluations of individual
improvement projects whose
implementation is anticipated or
possible within a 20-year timeframe.
Once any given improvement project is
identified for future implementation,
site-specific environmental
documentation will be developed based
on project specifications and PEIS
findings.
DATES: The Final PEIS will be available
to agencies, organizations and the
general public on January 8, 2008. A
copy of the Final PEIS will also be
posted in the USIBWC Web site at
https://www.ibwc.state.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PEIS
analyzes potential effects of the No
Action Alternative and three action
alternatives for future improvement of
the Rectification, Presidio and Lower
Rio Grande Flood Control Projects
located along the Texas-Mexico border.
Potential improvements were organized
in three action alternatives: (1)
Enhanced Operation and Maintenance
Alternative, focusing on engineering
improvements; (2) Integrated Water
Resources Management Alternative,
integrating additional water
conservation and quality measures to
the projects’ core mission of flood
control and water delivery; and (3)
Multipurpose Project Management
Alternative incorporating, in addition to
engineering improvements and
integrating water management,
additional measures for multiple use of
the floodway and environmental
measures supporting initiatives by
federal agencies, local governments, and
other organizations. These additional
measures would be conducted largely
under cooperative agreements with the
proponent agency or organization. The
PEIS evaluated alternatives for each
flood control project in terms of
potential effects relative to those of the
No Action Alternative, in the areas of
water, biological, cultural and
socioeconomic resources, land use, and
environmental health issues. The
Multipurpose Project Management
Alternative was selected as the preferred
option for implementation of
improvements to the flood control
projects as it supports improvements in
water quality and water conservation,
and is consistent with the core project
mission of flood control and water
delivery. Public participation in the
PEIS development included scoping
meetings, a 45-day review period of the
Draft PEIS, and Public Hearings held at
the Cities of El Paso, Presidio and
McAllen, Texas, on August 21, 22, and
28, 2007, respectively.
Copies of the FEIS have been sent to
agencies, organizations and individuals
who participated in the scoping process
and to those who have requested copies
of the FEIS. A limited number of Final
PEIS copies may be obtained upon
request from the contact person
identified above. A Record of Decision
will be issued after a minimum of 30
days following the filing of the Final
PEIS. Any comments on the Final PEIS
must be received no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of the
notice of availability by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

be taken on the proposed action before
30 days following publication of the
notice of availability of the Final PEIS
by EPA.
Dated: January 2, 2008.
