information relative to Reclamation
uniform policies, including land
management guidelines that promote
use, management, and development, of
the Contra Loma Reservoir and the
surrounding recreational area lands. A
public scoping meeting will be
announced at a later date for the
purpose of soliciting input on the
alternatives, concerns, and issues to be

actions have been implemented. In

detailed ways to efficiently and
equitably provide recreational
opportunities to meet public demand
within its intended planning lifespan.
This RMP/EIS will be used to develop
an integrated document that fulfills the
requirements of an RMP and an EIS for
the Contra Loma Reservoir and
Recreation Area, Resource Management
Plan/Environmental Impact Statement.
