Lhorne on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
LLC to construct and operate a seawater
reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination
facility capable of producing 25,000
acre-feet per year (AFY) of potable water
and a co-located seawater-cooled
computer data center campus on a 110acre site located approximately 1.5
miles east of Moss Landing. Seawater
intake and brine discharge pipelines
would extend west from Moss Landing
Harbor to the upper reaches of the
submarine Monterey Canyon and the
north shelf, respectively, Monterey Bay
National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS).
II. Need for action
This notice of intent (NOI) to prepare
a draft environmental impact statement
and conduct scoping is published in
accordance with: the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
California Public Resources Code
section 21080.4, subdivision (a); State
CEQA Guidelines section 15082; section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended;
and the White House Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA (CEQ NEPA Regulations).
The California State Lands
Commission (CSLC) and MBNMS, as
CEQA and NEPA lead agencies
respectively, will prepare a joint
Environmental Impact Report/
Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/
EIS) to identify and assess potential
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed DeepWater Desal, LLC
Monterey Bay Regional Water Project
(Project). Agencies would use the EIR/
EIS to consider related permits or other
approvals for the Project as proposed.
Possible alternatives could include not
approving the Project or approving the
Project with additional modifications
identified as part of the terms and
conditions of a permit or other approval.
Publication of this notice initiates the
public scoping process to solicit public
and agency comment, in writing or at
the public meeting, regarding the full
spectrum of environmental issues and
concerns relating to the scope and
content of the EIR/EIS, including:
• Analyses of the human and marine
resources that could be affected;
• the nature and extent of the
potential significant impacts on those
resources;
• a reasonable range of alternatives to
the proposed action; and
• mitigation measures.
III. Process
This NOI is published in conjunction
with the CSLC NOI, as this is a joint
process between NOAA/MBNMS, the
lead federal agency, and the CSLC, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

(EIR/EIS), and will hold a joint public
scoping meeting for the project on
Tuesday, June 16, 2015; Sessions begin
at 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm, at Moss
Landing Marine Laboratories at 8272

IV. Federal Consultations
This notice also advises the public
that NOAA will coordinate its
consultation responsibilities under
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA), Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)
under the Magnuson Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA), section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA, 16
U.S.C. 470), and Federal Consistency
review under the Coastal Zone
Management Act (CZMA), along with its
ongoing NEPA process including the
use of NEPA documents and public and
stakeholder meetings to also meet the
requirements of other federal laws.
In fulfilling its consultation
responsibility under the ESA, MSA,
NHPA, CZMA and NEPA, NOAA
intends to identify consulting parties
and involve the public in accordance
with NOAA’s NEPA procedures, and
develop in consultation with identified
consulting parties alternatives and
proposed measures that might avoid,
minimize or mitigate any adverse effects
on endangered species, essential fish
habitat, historic properties, or coastal
zone management issues, and describe
them in any environmental assessment
or draft environmental impact
statement.
