Appropriations Act of 2009 (Pub. L.
111–8), and the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended,

produce a comprehensive feasibilitytype report with an integrated
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Public Law 111–8 authorizes the
USACE to review the original project
purposes within the Missouri River
Basin based on the Flood Control Act of
1944, as amended, and other-subsequent
relevant legislation and judicial rulings
to determine if changes to the
authorized project purposes and
existing federal water resource
infrastructure may be warranted. The
authorized Missouri River project
purposes are: fish and wildlife, flood
control, irrigation, navigation, power,
recreation, water quality, and water
supply.
Public scoping for the MRAPS will
begin in late May 2010. Future public
notices will identify how written
comments and suggestions concerning
the study may be submitted. Please see
https://www.mraps.org and the Scoping
and Public Involvement section below
for additional information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Description of Proposed Study.
Encompassing an area of approximately
530,000 square miles and a number of
governing entities including ten states,
two Canadian provinces, and 28 Native
American tribes, the Missouri River
Basin is the second largest river basin in
the United States. From its source at
Three Forks, Montana, the Missouri
River flows east and southeast for a total
of 2,341 miles before emptying into the
Mississippi River, just north of St.
Louis, Missouri, making it the longest
river in the United States. The Missouri
River passes through a variety of
physiographic provinces, provides
habitat to diverse populations of flora
and fauna, contains important cultural
resources, and supports a variety of
human uses. Due to its geographic scale
and diversity, the management of the

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 73 / Friday, April 16, 2010 / Notices
Missouri River falls under a variety of
USACE authorities and programs as
well as programs and authorities of
other agencies.
Major human alterations to the
Missouri River began as early as the late
1800s with the removal of snags to
improve navigation. River alterations
continued into the twentieth century. At
the direction of Congress, the USACE
enhanced navigation, built dams, and
regulated river flows. Simultaneously,
land use changes affecting the River’s
floodplain occurred creating a system
very different from its pre-alteration
condition. Managing today’s altered
Missouri River is a complex task due to
competing demands from a variety of
different uses. The past two decades
have produced a great deal of debate
among Basin stakeholders on how to
best manage the River’s resources.
The 1944 Flood Control Act, as
amended, and subsequent legislation
have directed the USACE to allocate the
River’s resources among the authorized
Missouri River project purposes; which
are: Fish and wildlife, flood control,
irrigation, navigation, power, recreation,
water quality, and water supply. Section
108 of the Energy and Water
Development Section of the FY09
Omnibus Appropriations Act provides
the USACE authorization to study the
Missouri River projects located within
the Missouri River Basin to review the
original authorized project purposes to
determine if changes to the project
purposes and existing Federal water
resource infrastructure may be
warranted. The study authorized by
Section 108 will be referred to as the
Missouri River Authorized Purposes
Study (MRAPS). The MRAPS is a broadbased multi-purpose study that is
anticipated to culminate in a
comprehensive feasibility-type report
with an integrated EIS. The MRAPS will
be conducted in accordance with NEPA
and with the ‘‘Principles and Guidelines
for Water and Related Land Resource
Implementation Studies’’ (Water
Resource Council, 1983).
The scope of the MRAPS will be
limited to review of the original
authorized project purposes within the
Missouri River Basin and will include a
review of other Federal water resource
infrastructure related thereto, such as
those projects that are dependent on
USACE operations or are covered by an
operational agreement with the USACE.
The MRAPS will evaluate the study area
as a comprehensive system of projects,
infrastructure, and natural resources
providing a detailed review of the
existing project purposes and
conditions, evaluation of the current
needs and problems within the study

area, and could lead to consideration of
operational and/or infrastructure
alternatives.
2. Scoping and Public Involvement
Process. The MRAPS will include
multiple phases of public, agency, and
tribal government involvement. The first
official phase of public scoping will be
conducted throughout the Basin from
late May 2010 through late August 2010,
and will seek input on problems,
opportunities, and constraints related to
the existing authorized purposes and
gather general concerns, issues, and
needs related to the study. This scoping
period plans for 29 public scoping
meetings and 11 tribal focused public
scoping meetings. Specific locations and
dates of these meetings will be officially
announced through electronic media,
news releases, and mailings. Additional
public meetings and involvement will
take place throughout the study. For
more information on scoping phases,
dates, meeting locations, and general
information, please visit https://
www.mraps.org.
3. Significant Issues. Issues associated
with the proposed study are likely to
include, but will not be limited to:
existing infrastructure and resource
conditions; statutory and legal
responsibilities including relevant court
decisions; effects of potential
alternatives on uses including, but not
necessarily limited to: flood control,
navigation, fish and wildlife, irrigation,
power, recreation, water supply, and
water quality control; defining the
relationship with current USACE
programs including the Missouri River
Recovery Program (MRRP), Missouri
River Ecosystem Restoration Plan
(MRERP), and the Bank Stabilization
and Navigation Project (BSNP); and
analysis of effects to the Mississippi
River from potential actions or
alternatives that are examined in the
Missouri River Basin.
4. Additional Review and
Consultation. Additional public,
scientific, and statutory review and
consultation could include, but will not
be limited to: The Clean Water Act, the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act, the
Endangered Species Act, and the Clean
Air Act.
5. Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement.
Availability of the Draft EIS is
contingent upon allocation of funding as
the study progresses. Draft EIS
availability will be announced to the
public in the Federal Register in
compliance with 40 CFR 1506.9 and
1506.10.
