A Notice of Availability of the joint
Draft EIS/EIR was published in the

EIR 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
EIS/EIR. 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
leading to the decision.
ADDRESSES: A compact disc or a copy of
the Final EIS/EIR may be requested from
Ms. Rain Healer, Bureau of Reclamation,
1243 ‘N’ Street, Fresno, CA 93721–1831,
by calling 559–487–5196, TTY 800–

rhealer@usbr.gov, or from Ms. Kate
Rees, Cachuma Operation and
Maintenance Board, 3301 Laurel
Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93105–

krees@cachuma-board.org. The Final
document is also available on the
following Web sites: https://

section for locations where copies of the
Final EIS/EIR are available.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Rain Healer, Bureau of Reclamation, or
Ms. Kate Rees, COMB, at the phone
numbers or e-mail addresses above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
existing SCC/Upper Reach pipeline
provides approximately 80 percent of
the water supply for communities along
the South Coast of Santa Barbara
County. Reclamation owns the SCC
facilities and COMB manages the
facilities under a Transfer of Operations
and Maintenance Contract with
Reclamation. The SCC operates at
capacity for extended periods of time,
and during peak demands it is not able
to provide the water needed. No
redundant supply or pipeline exists to
convey CVP or SWP water to the South
Coast if the Upper Reach of the SCC is
out of service due to scheduled and/or
unexpected repairs. The proposed
project would increase the operational
flexibility, reliability, and conveyance
capacity of the SCC between the South
Portal of Tecolote Tunnel and the
Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant
to accommodate peak demand levels
and to allow maintenance of one
pipeline while the other is operational.
The total amount of water delivered per
year, however, would not increase.
The Final EIS/EIR considered the
direct, indirect, and cumulative effects
on the physical, natural, and human
PO 00000

environment that may result from the
construction and operation of the SCC/
Upper Reach second pipeline. The Final
EIS/EIR addressed potentially
significant environmental issues and
recommends adequate and feasible
mitigation measures to reduce or
eliminate significant environmental
impacts, where possible. Three
alternative pipeline alignments as well
as no project and no action alternatives
were addressed.
A public meeting was held on
September 10, 2008, in Santa Barbara,
CA.

available for public review at the
following locations:
