Other entities will be considered as necessary during the XM EIS process. The Canal is part of the Newlands Project (Project), which was constructed in 1903 as one of the Reclamation’s first projects. In January 2008, a portion of the Canal embankment near the City of Fernley, Nevada, breached. The Canal’s operations are now limited due to safety concerns. Portions of the Project were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1981. In addition, the Canal and other associated structures have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for contributing to the history of the Project.

Additional information regarding specific dates and times for the upcoming meetings and identification of relevant comment periods will be provided in a future notice, local news media, and through direct contact with interested parties. Purpose and Need for Action. The purpose is to improve public safety by reducing the risk of a Canal breach. Reclamation needs to take action to evaluate alternatives that will enable the Canal operator—the Truckee Carson Irrigation District (TCID)—to safely operate the Canal and deliver Project water in compliance with operating criteria and procedures for the Project. Additional restrictions on Canal operations may be necessary without taking actions or initiating risk-reducing repairs. Proposed Federal Action. Reclamation or TCID are proposing to complete structural improvements of the Canal facilities; and/or implement a long-term tolerable stage level restriction. This may be achieved using a variety of options including, but not limited to the following structural improvements to the canal embankment, which could include sheet pile walls and improvements to the earthen embankment. • Lining portions of the Canal • Installing detention and/or retention ponds • Installing automated check structures to regulate flow through the Canal • Installing passive overflow and/or wasteway structures • Reducing the Canal stage-levels with no structural improvements Public Disclosure. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, please be advised that your entire commentincluding your personal identifying information-may be made publicly available at any time. While you may request that we withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Dated: September 8, 2015.
