and conduct scoping is published in
accordance with: 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 Project was subject to a Draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
under the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
published by the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) in April
2015. The NEPA environmental
documentation will include an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS),
which may be issued as a stand-alone
document or as a joint draft CEQA/
NEPA (EIR/EIS) document with the
CPUC.
The environmental document will
identify and assess potential
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed Project and a range of
alternatives. Federal agencies would use
the EIS to consider related permits or
other approvals for the Project as
proposed. Possible alternatives could
include not approving the Project,
approving a reduced size 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 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.

Secretary of Defense directed the
addition of these forms to ensure
transparency and standardization of the
mortuary procedures as defined in the
Final Report of the Dover Port Mortuary

Implementation Plan and 180-day
study. Currently there is a lack of
standardization across the Military

Standardizing the information collected

to formalize this process and document
the election. This form becomes a part

Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Lower Cache
Creek Flood Risk Management Project,
City of Woodland, Yolo County,
California (CA)
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), Sacramento District,
intends to prepare an integrated
Feasibility Report/Supplemental Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (FR/
SDEIS) for the Lower Cache Creek Flood
Risk Management Feasibility Study
(feasibility study). The Corps will serve
as the lead agency for compliance with
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The feasibility study is
evaluating opportunities to reduce flood
damages to the city of Woodland and
improve the conveyance of the
hydraulic system in the lower Cache
Creek Basin, in Yolo County, CA.
A Draft EIS was originally submitted
for public review on March 21, 2003 (68
FR 13907). Following an assessment of
public comments received as well as a
determination of additional technical,
environmental, and economic
evaluation needs, the local sponsors, the
City of Woodland and the Reclamation
Board of the State of California, decided
to pause the feasibility study. The 2003
Draft EIS/EIR was never finalized and
no Record of Decision was prepared.
The local sponsor reinitiated the study
with the Corps in 2011 after further
coordination with stakeholders and
interested parties. Because of significant
new circumstances and information
relevant to environmental concerns and
bearing on the proposed action or its
impacts, a supplement to the 2003 draft
EIS is being prepared.
