BILLING CODE 4310–DQ–P
INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND
WATER COMMISSION, UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO
United States Section; Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement for Improvements to the
USIBWC Tijuana River Flood Control
Project in San Diego County, CA
United States Section,
International Boundary and Water
Commission (USIBWC).
ACTION: Notice of Availability for the
Record of Decision (ROD).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice is provided in
accordance with 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 1500–1508 of
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), and USIBWC procedures for
implementing NEPA. The USIBWC
anticipates the need to improve
maintenance practices or functionality
of the Tijuana River Flood Control
Project (Tijuana River FCP) located in
southern San Diego County, California.
Measures under consideration include
changes in vegetation management
within the floodway, water quality
improvements, and support to local or
regional initiatives for multipurpose use
of the project for wildlife habitat
development and other environmental
improvements. Identified measures
were incorporated into a Multipurpose
Project Management (MPM) Alternative
for long-term improvement of the
Tijuana River FCP.
A Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PEIS) was prepared
to evaluate potential consequences of
changes associated with the MPM
Alternative relative to the continuation
of current operation and maintenance
(O&M) activities (No Action
Alternative). The USIBWC will apply
this programmatic evaluation as a
guideline for the environmental impacts

assessment of future individual projects
considered possible at a conceptual
level, but not currently anticipated for
implementation. Following the
programmatic evaluation of potential
impacts, the MPM Alternative was
adopted as the preferred option for longterm improvements to the Tijuana River
FCP. In implementing this alternative,
the USIBWC will continue to improve
functionality of the Tijuana River FCP to
meet its mandate for flood control while
supporting regional initiatives for
improvement of water quality and
environmental conditions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Daniel Borunda, Environmental
Protection Specialist, Environmental
Management Division, USIBWC, 4171
North Mesa Street, C–100, El Paso,
Texas 79902 or e-mail:
danielborunda@ibwc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USIBWC operates and maintains the
Tijuana River FCP located in southern
San Diego County, California. The flood
control project, constructed in 1978,
provides flood protection in urban,
suburban, and agricultural areas in the
United States. It consists of a two-levee
system that runs along a modified
stream channel 2.3 miles long,
extending from the international border
to the start of the natural Tijuana River
channel. The floodway between the
levees encompasses approximately 400
acres. The Tijuana River FCP is located
upstream of natural resources
conservation areas managed by the
County of San Diego, State of California,
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
These conservation areas are of great
regional value as they contain a
diversified plant and animal species
assemblage that includes many
protected animal and plant species.
The USIBWC anticipates a need for
improvements in O&M practices of the
Tijuana River FCP. Potential changes
would include measures to support
local and/or regional initiatives to
improve environmental conditions and/
or water quality, incorporated into the
MPM Alternative. Most improvements
are conceptual-level measures
considered feasible but not currently
envisioned for implementation. Known
or anticipated improvements are
typically associated with utilization of
the flood control project in support of
local or regional initiatives for
multipurpose use of the Tijuana River
FCP for wildlife habitat development
and other improvements in
environmental conditions.
A PEIS was prepared to assess
potential consequences of implementing
new maintenance practices and
