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.

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

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 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.
