Ecology, as joint lead agencies, have
made available the Cle Elum Pool Raise
Project Final Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). The Final EIS describes
the potential environmental effects of
the No Action Alternative and four
action alternatives to modify the
existing radial gates in the Cle Elum
Dam spillway to provide an additional
14,600 acre-feet of storage capacity in
Cle Elum Reservoir, put the additional
stored water to beneficial use, provide
for shoreline protection of the reservoir,
and implement necessary
environmental mitigation. The Final EIS
also includes responses to all public
comments on the Draft EIS.
DATES: Reclamation will not make a
decision on the proposed action until at
least 30 days after the Environmental
Protection Agency publishes the notice
of availability of the Final EIS in the
Federal Register. Following the 30-day
wait period, Reclamation may complete
a Record of Decision (ROD).
ADDRESSES: Send requests for copies of
the Final EIS to Ms. Candace McKinley,
Bureau of Reclamation, 1917 Marsh
Road, Yakima, WA 98901, 509–575–
5848, ext. 613, or via email to cepr@
usbr.gov. The Final EIS is also
accessible from the following Web site:
https://www.usbr.gov/pn/programs/eis/
cleelumraise/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Candace McKinley, 509–575–5848, ext.
613; or by email at cepr@usbr.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
EIS documents the potential direct,
indirect, and cumulative physical,
biological, and socioeconomic
environmental effects that may result
from increasing the reservoir storage
capacity.
The Final EIS evaluates the
construction and operation of modified
radial gates at Cle Elum Dam to enable
a 3-foot raise in the reservoir pool
(14,600 acre-feet additional storage
capacity), use of the additional stored
water to improve instream flows or to
supplement the Yakima Project Total
Water Supply Available, raising the
height of three existing dikes, raising the
height of access roads and facilities at
the U.S. Forest Service Cle Elum River
Campground and Wish-Poosh boat
ramp, implementing shoreline
protection to reduce erosion, and
acquiring private property and
easements to accommodate shoreline
protection. The primary project
objectives are to: (1) Fulfill the intent of
the congressional authorization given in
sections 1205 and 1206, Title XII,
Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement
Project (YRBWEP), of Public Law 103–
434, Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Water Rights Settlement Act of 1994; (2)
improve aquatic resources for fish
habitat, rearing, and migration in the Cle
Elum and upper Yakima Rivers; and (3)
(if authorized by Congress) help meet
demands for agricultural water supply.
The primary study area encompasses
the Cle Elum Reservoir, the adjacent
area that would be inundated by the
proposed 3-foot raise in the full-pool
reservoir level, and areas that could be
directly affected by construction or
operations-related activities, including
the spillway, dikes, adjacent lands, and
public recreation resources. The
extended study area includes the Cle
Elum and Yakima rivers downstream
from Cle Elum Dam; lands,
municipalities, and instream uses
served by Cle Elum and Yakima rivers
water rights; and the larger Yakima
Project area.
A ROD will identify all the
alternatives considered, including the
environmentally preferable alternative
and the action selected for
implementation, if they are not the
same. A ROD will also discuss the
factors and rationale used in making the
decision; provide information on the
adopted means to avoid, minimize and
compensate for environmental impacts;
describe any monitoring and
enforcement program to ensure that
adopted mitigation is accomplished;
and address any significant comments
received on the Final EIS.
Authority
The Cle Elum Pool Raise Project is
authorized in sections 1205 and 1206 of
Title XII of the Yavapai-Prescott Indian
Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of
1994.
