Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2016 / Notices included in the FEIS for the WCM update include: • Sections 1 through 12 were revised to make minor technical and administrative corrections and updates based on agency and public comments, independent external peer review comments, and relevant additional information obtained since the DEIS was published. • Section 4 was also updated to more fully describe and clarify (1) the twophased plan formulation process (water management alternatives/water supply options) to determine the alternatives evaluated in detail in section 6 (see the introduction to section 4); (2) how modeling was used in both phases of the plan formulation process to assess and narrow the array of alternatives considered in detail in section 6 and to provide a technical foundation for environmental impact assessment of the alternatives considered in detail in section 6; (3) the screening process for water management measures; and (4) consideration of an alternative offered by the ACF Stakeholders (ACFS) organization in comments on the DEIS. • Section 5 was also updated to incorporate additional information provided by the State of Georgia in 2015 regarding (1) future water supply needs for communities withdrawing or expected to withdraw from Lake Lanier; (2) future water supply needs for communities withdrawing from the Chattahoochee River downstream of Buford Dam; and (3) expected return rates associated with lake and river withdrawals. The water supply needs considered in the FEIS were generally revised downward and extend over a longer planning horizon (from 2040 to 2050) than included in the previous 2013 request from Georgia, which was used in the formulation of alternatives presented in the DEIS. Further, the FEIS eliminated Glades Reservoir as a reasonably foreseeable source of future water supply when the GAEPD rescinded the need certification for the reservoir in early 2016. This additional information resulted in several new alternatives (including a new PAA), all of which are within the range of the alternatives evaluated in the DEIS. • Section 6 was further updated to address additional alternatives (including the new PAA) that were developed in accordance with the additional water supply information from Georgia as presented in the updated section 5 of the FEIS. The updated analysis that includes the new alternatives was based on additional Hydrologic Engineering Center Reservoir Simulation and Water Quality models (HEC-ResSim) (HEC–5Q) that VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:42 Dec 15, 2016 Jkt 241001 incorporated the revised water supply information. All pertinent subsections within section 6 have been updated accordingly. • Appendix A (Master WCM and Individual Project WCMs) was updated to include pertinent technical corrections and administrative updates based on agency and public comments, independent external peer review comments, and relevant additional information obtained since the DEIS was published. • Appendix B (Water Supply Storage Assessment Report) was updated to include the analysis of the new alternatives that incorporate additional population projections and water supply demand projections provided by Georgia in December 2015. • Appendix C (Pertinent Correspondence) was updated to incorporate agency and public comments on the DEIS (with USACE responses) as well as relevant new correspondence. • Appendix E (HEC-ResSim Modeling Report) was updated to reflect analysis of the additional alternatives based on changes presented in section 5 of the FEIS and to incorporate technical and administrative corrections and updates based on comments from agencies, the public, and independent external peer review. • Appendix J (USFWS Coordination) was updated to incorporate documentation of Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation that occurred following agency and public review of the DEIS as well as the final Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Report for the Master Manual update. • Appendix K (HEC–5Q Water Quality Modeling Report) was updated to reflect analysis of the additional alternatives based on changes presented in section 5 of the FEIS and to incorporate technical and administrative corrections and updates based on comments from agencies, the public, and independent external peer review. • Appendix L (Coastal Zone Management Statement of Consistency) was updated to include administrative changes to the Florida Coastal Management Program reference, and to address Florida’s comments on the Statement of Consistency in the DEIS. • Appendix M (Recreation Benefit Analysis) was updated to reflect analysis of the additional alternatives based on changes presented in section 5 of the FEIS. • Appendix N (USACE Institute for Water Resources ACF Climate Change Support Analysis) was updated to reflect the additional information PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 91155 available following coordination of the DEIS and in response to comments on the DEIS from agencies, the public, and independent external peer review. • Appendix O (Unimpaired Flow Dataset) was added to describe the development of the unimpaired flow dataset. Document Availability The FEIS and appendices are available for review in the following formats: • Online as PDF documents at www.sam.usace.army.mil/Missions/ PlanningEnvironmental/ACF-MasterWater-Control-Manual-Update/ACFDocument-Library.aspx • As a CD when requested in writing to: Commander, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, Attn: PD–EI (ACF–FEIS), P.O.
