BILLING CODE 3510–16–P
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Army; Corps of
Engineers
Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Regional Watershed Supply Project in
Wyoming and 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 an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to analyze the direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects of a proposed water
supply project in Wyoming and
Colorado, referred to as the Regional
Watershed Supply Project (RWSP).
Construction of the proposed RWSP is
expected to require a Clean Water Act
Section 404 permit. The Project is
proposed by Million Conservation
Resource Group (MCRG), which is a
private water development group. The
RWSP proposes to provide
approximately 250,000 acre-feet per
year of new annual firm yield to meet
a portion of the projected water supply
needs of southeastern Wyoming and the
Front Range of Colorado on a perpetual
basis through 2030 and beyond. The
water would be obtained from the Green
River Basin as part of the unused
portion of water allocated to the States
of Wyoming and Colorado under the
Upper Colorado River Compact. The
RWSP would be a non-Federal project
constructed, owned, and operated by
MCRG.
DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section for meeting dates.

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section for meeting
addresses.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions and comments regarding the
proposed action and EIS should be
addressed to Ms. Rena Brand, Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Denver Regulatory Office, 9307 S.
Wadsworth Blvd., Littleton, CO 80128–
6901; (303) 979–4120;
mcrg.eis@usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The COE
will be conducting public scoping
meetings at six locations to describe the
Project, preliminary alternatives, the
NEPA compliance process, and to solicit
input on the issues and alternatives to
be evaluated and other related matters.
Written comments for scoping will be
accepted until May 19, 2009. The COE
has prepared a scoping announcement
to familiarize agencies, the public and
interested organizations regarding the
proposed RWSP and potential
environmental issues that may be
involved. Copies of the scoping
announcement will be made available at
the public scoping meetings or can be
requested by mail.
Scoping meetings will be held on:
1. April 14, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m.,
Green River High School, 1615 Hitching
Post Drive, Green River, WY.
2. April 15, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m.,
Uintah High School, 1880 West 500
North, Vernal, UT.
3. April 16, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m.,
Laramie High School, 1257 North 11th
Street, Laramie, WY.
4. April 20, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m.,
Fossil Ridge High School, 5400 Ziegler
Road, Fort Collins, CO.
5. April 21, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m. West
High School, 951 Elati Street, Denver,
CO.
6. April 22, 2009, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Risley
Middle School, 625 N. Monument Ave.,
Pueblo, CO.
The proponent of the project, MCRG,
proposes the following configuration of
the RWSP: Two water withdrawal
facilities, one on the east side of
Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming
and the other on the east bank of the
Green River in Wyoming approximately
200 feet downstream of the Seedskadee
National Wildlife Refuge; one water
treatment storage reservoir located near
the Green River intake system; water
pipeline system (approximately 560
miles in length and a diameter of 72 to
120 inches) from the two withdrawal
points to southeastern Wyoming and the
Front Range of Colorado (WyomingColorado State Line to Pueblo); one
regulating reservoir located along the
western end of the pipeline system;
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
approximately sixteen natural gaspowered pump stations located along
the pipeline route; temporary
(construction phase) and permanent
(operation and maintenance phase)
access roads; three water storage/flowregulation reservoirs (Lake Hattie in
Wyoming [available volume of
approximately 40,000 acre feet];
proposed Cactus Hill Reservoir near
Fort Collins, CO [185,000 acre-foot
capacity]; and the proposed T-Cross
Reservoir to be constructed near Pueblo,
CO [25,000 acre-foot capacity]); outlet
structures at each reservoir consisting of
water treatment facilities; on-site
transformers and overhead power lines
from local electrical grids for the water
withdrawal and storage reservoir
facilities; and water delivery systems
from the storage reservoirs to water
users.
The potential water users for the
proposed project would include
agriculture, municipalities, and
industries in southeastern Wyoming and
the Front Range of Colorado. In
Wyoming, approximately 25,000 acrefeet of water would be delivered
annually to users in the Platte River
Basin. The remaining 225,000 acre-feet
of water would be delivered annually to
the South Platte River and Arkansas
River basins in Colorado.
The EIS will be prepared according to
the COE’s procedures for implementing
the NEPA of 1969, as amended, 42
U.S.C. 4232(2)(c), and consistent with
the COE’s policy to facilitate public
understanding and review of agency
proposals. As part of the EIS process, a
full range of reasonable alternatives,
including the Proposed Action and No
Action, will be evaluated. Additional
alternatives defined at this time by the
applicant include four alternative
withdrawal points that would involve
withdrawal only from the Green River
(two separate points) or Flaming Gorge
Reservoir (two separate points). A
different pipeline segment would
connect each alternative withdrawal
point to the mainstem pipeline route.
Alternative storage reservoirs in the
Front Range of Colorado also may be
considered for the Project.
The COE has invited the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, U.S. Bureau of Land
Management, the U.S. Forest Service,
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service to be cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the EIS. Other Federal
and State agencies will participate in
the EIS review process to ensure
