SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS/EIR analyzes the direct, indirect,
and cumulative effects to the physical,
biological, and socioeconomic
environment that may result from
various resource management
alternatives contained in the subject
document.
The Final EIS/EIR: (1) Identifies the
current and most appropriate future
uses of land and water resources within
the RMP/GP area; (2) identifies the longterm resource programs and
implementation guidelines to manage
and develop recreation, natural, and
cultural resources; and (3) develops
strategies and approaches to protect and
preserve the natural, recreational,
aesthetic, and cultural resources.
The RMP/GP was initially released
with a Draft EIR in 2005 for compliance
with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The RMP/GP was
reissued with a joint Draft EIS/Revised
Draft EIR for the purposes of both
National Environmental Policy Act and
CEQA compliance.
The RMP/GP area consists of over
27,000 acres owned by the Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation) and includes
the water surfaces of San Luis Reservoir,
O’Neill Forebay, Los Banos Creek
Reservoir, and adjacent recreation lands
within the vicinity of Los Banos,
California. The general project location
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00072

Sfmt 4703
is south of State Route 152 between U.S.
101 and Interstate 5, approximately two
hours southeast from San Francisco.
San Luis Reservoir and the other
facilities mentioned above were
constructed between 1963 and 1967 as
part of the water storage and delivery
system of reservoirs, aqueducts, power
plants, and pumping stations operated
within the California State Water Project
and Central Valley Project. The
California Department of Parks and
Recreation was given the responsibility
to plan, design, construct, maintain, and
operate the recreation areas surrounding
the reservoirs.
The purpose of the RMP/GP is to: (1)
Enhance natural resources and
recreational opportunities consistent
with reservoir operations; (2) provide
recreational opportunities to meet the
demands of a growing population with
diverse interests; (3) ensure diversity of
recreational opportunities and quality of
the recreational experience; (4) protect
natural, cultural, and recreational
sources while providing resource
education opportunities and
stewardship; and (5) provide updated
management direction for establishing a
new management agreement with the
State of California.
The Final EIS/EIR contains a programlevel analysis of the potential impacts
associated with adoption of the RMP/
GP. The Final EIS/EIR outlines the
formulation and evaluation of
alternatives designed to address these
issues through a representation of the
varied interests at the Plan Area and
identifies Alternative 3 (Moderate New
Access and Development) as the
preferred alternative. The Final EIS/EIR
includes goals, guidelines, and
management actions to avoid and
minimize potential impacts, as well as
mitigation measures to reduce potential
adverse effects. The RMP/GP has been
developed within the authorities
provided by Congress through the
Reclamation Recreation Management
Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–575, Title 28,
16 U.S.C. 460L) and other applicable
agency and Department of the Interior
policies.
