New Melones Lake Area Resource
Management Plan, Tuolumne and
Calaveras Counties, CA
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of the
Final Resource Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/
EIS).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (as
amended), the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) has made available for
public review a Final RMP/EIS for the
New Melones Lake Area. The Final
RMP/EIS describes and presents the
environmental effects of four
alternatives, including no action, for
future use of the project area for
recreation and resource protection and
management.
A Notice of Availability of the joint
Draft RMP/EIS was published in the
Federal Register on November 2, 2009
(74 FR 56656). The written comment
period on the Draft RMP/EIS ended on
January 4, 2010. The Final RMP/EIS
contains responses to all comments
received and reflects comments and any
additional information received during
the review period.
DATES: Reclamation will not make a
decision on the proposed action until at
least 30 days after release of the Final
RMP/EIS. After the 30-day waiting
period, Reclamation will complete a
Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD will
state the action that will be

implemented and will discuss all factors

ADDRESSES: Send requests for a compact

EIS to Melissa Vignau, Natural
Resources Specialist, Bureau of
Reclamation, 7794 Folsom Dam Road,
Folsom, CA 95630, or telephone: 916–
989–7182. Copies of the Final RMP/EIS
will be available for review at: https://
www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/
nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=2536.
See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Section for locations where copies of the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, at
916–989–7182 or Dan Holsapple, Acting
New Melones Resource Manager,
Bureau of Reclamation, at 209–536–
9094.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
planning activity encompasses
approximately 30,000 acres of publicly
accessible water and land owned and
managed by Reclamation. The RMP,
which will replace the New Melones
Lake Area Master Plan of 1976, will be
the primary management document for
Reclamation’s New Melones Lake Area,
providing a defined purpose, vision,
long-term goals, and management
guidelines. It will be used by
Reclamation as a framework for guiding
decision-making related to future
development potential, on-going
management, public health and safety,
and public use of the New Melones Lake
Area.
The RMP attempts to enhance and
expand the recreation opportunities
while also providing more active
protection and management of natural
and cultural resources. The RMP is
intended to be implemented over an
extended period as determined by both
user demand and need. To do so, the
RMP provides goals and guidelines
relating to natural, cultural and visual
resources, water quality, circulation,
visitor services, interpretation and
operations.
The EIS is a program-level analysis of
the potential environmental impacts
associated with adoption of the RMP.
The RMP is intended to be
predominantly self-mitigating through
implementation of RMP policies and
management strategies, and the EIS will
also include measures intended to
reduce the adverse effects of the RMP.
Copies of the Final EIS are available
for public review at the following
locations:
• Bureau of Reclamation, Central
California Area Office, New Melones
