Intent To Prepare a Supplemental Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Northern Integrated
Supply Project in Northeastern
Colorado

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) is preparing a
Supplemental Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (SDEIS) to further
analyze the direct, indirect and
cumulative effects of the Northern
Integrated Supply Project (NISP).
Construction of the proposed Project
will result in temporary and permanent
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the
United States, thereby requiring a Clean
Water Act Section 404 permit. The COE
released a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for NISP April 30,
2008. Significant comments were
received during three public hearings
held for the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) as well as submitted
during the comment period. The COE
has determined that substantial
additional analysis is required and that
the purposes of the National
Environmental Policy Act would be
furthered through the preparation of the
SDEIS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions and comments regarding the
proposed action and SDEIS should be
addressed to Chandler Peter, NEPA/
404b1 Coordinator, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, 9307 South Wadsworth

mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NISP is a
collaborative regional water supply
project between 15 water providers
(Participants) and the Northern
Colorado Water Conservancy District
acting by and through the Northern
Integrated Supply Project Water Activity
Enterprise (District). The Participants
are a group of growing towns and rural
domestic water districts located in
Larimer, Weld, and Boulder Counties,
CO. The participants are: Central Weld
County Water District, Dacono, Eaton,
Erie, Evans, Firestone, Frederick, Fort
Collins Loveland Water District, Fort
Lupton, Fort Morgan, Lafayette, Left
Hand Water District, Morgan County
Quality Water District, Severance, and
Windsor. The project will provide
approximately 40,000 acre-feet of new

reliable water supply, which will meet
a portion of the Participants’ estimated
2025 additional water supply needs.
The Northern Integrated Supply Project
would be a non-federal project
constructed, owned and operated by the
District.
The SDEIS will be prepared according
to the COE’s procedures for
implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C.4332(2)(c),
and consistent with the COE’s policy to
facilitate public understanding and
review of agency proposals. A full range
of reasonable alternatives, including the
proposed Project and no action, were
evaluated in the DEIS. Revisions to
some of those alternatives as well as
additional analysis involving factors
such as hydrology, geomorphology,
aquatic resources, water quality, and
cumulative effects will be accomplished
in the SDEIS. Scoping meetings will not
be held pursuant to 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4).
Public hearings will be conducted on
the SDEIS which has an anticipated
release of June 2010.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Colorado Department of
Transportation, and Larimer County are
cooperating agencies in the formulation
of the EIS.
