I. Background on the Process
Public review of the DEIS is part of
the administrative process for the
evaluation of the authorization of the
Tribe’s lease of trust land in eastern San
Diego County, California. Terra-Gen
proposes to construct and operate a
wind energy generation facility in the
lease area. A Notice of Intent to prepare
an EIS was published in the Federal
Register on November 11, 2018, (83 FR
58784) and posted on the
www.CampoWind.com website. A
public notice announcing the proposed
action and the scoping meeting was
published in the San Diego Business
Journal on November 26, 2018, and the
San Diego Union-Tribune on November
21, 2018. The BIA held a public scoping
meeting for the proposed project on
December 6, 2018, at the Campo Indian
Reservation Tribal Hall, 36190 Church
Road, Campo, California.
II. Background on the Project
The proposed action consists of BIA
approval of a lease between the Tribe
and Terra-Gen, to construct and operate
a renewable energy generation project
for 25 years on the Reservation, with the
possibility of a 13-year extension for a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
total of 38 years. The lease would allow
Terra-Gen to develop and operate a
wind energy generation facility in the
lease area. The project consists of the
following components: (A) Up to 60
wind turbines of approximately 4.2
megawatts (MW) capacity and
approximately 586 feet in total height;
(B) access roads, including
approximately 15 miles of new roads
and approximately 15 miles of
improved existing roads; (C) electrical
collection and communication system;
(D) project collector substation; (E)
operations and maintenance facility; (F)
meteorological towers; (G) water
collection and septic system; (H)
temporary concrete batch plant; (I)
temporary staging areas; (J) onreservation portion of the generation tie
line (gen-tie line); and (K) boulder brush
facilities (components on private lands
including a portion of the gen-tie line,
a high-voltage substation, a switchyard,
and access roads).
III. Alternatives
The following alternatives are
considered in the DEIS:
(1) Alternative 1, 252 MW—would
include 60 turbines producing
approximately 4.2 MW each, for a total
production of approximately 252 MW.
Up to 76 possible turbine sites have
been evaluated, of which only 60 could
be constructed under the lease. Total
turbine height of approximately 586
feet.
(2) Alternative 2, 202 MW—would
include a reduction in the Project’s
footprint, number of turbines, and
generating capacity of approximately
20%, with 48 turbines that would
produce approximately 4.2 MW each,
for a total production of approximately
202 MW.
(3) Alternative 3, No Action
Alternative—would entail the BIA not
approving the proposed lease agreement
between the Tribe and Terra-Gen for the
construction of a wind energy project on
the Reservation.
A wide range of additional
alternatives were considered by the BIA
but not carried forward for detailed
analysis in the DEIS. The following
alternatives were not analyzed in the
DEIS because they either did not meet
the purpose and need of the project or
were not considered technically feasible
or economically feasible or costeffective: Mixed renewable generation
(wind and solar), minimal build-out, offreservation location, reduced capacity
turbines, distributed generation.

SUMMARY:
Background
The Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) was established in 1902.
Its original mission was one of civil
works construction to develop the water
resources of the arid Western United
States to promote the settlement and
economic development of that region.
Results are well known in the hundreds
of projects that were developed to store
and deliver water. That substantial
infrastructure contributed to making
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:10 May 23, 2019
Jkt 247001
Reclamation the largest wholesale
supplier of water and the second largest
producer of hydropower in the United
States.
Title Transfer
Title transfer is a voluntary
conveyance of ownership (title) for
water projects, portions of projects, or
project facilities such as dams, canals,
laterals, and other water-related
infrastructure and facilities to
beneficiaries of those facilities. Title
transfer divests Reclamation of
responsibility for the operation,
maintenance, management, regulation
of, and liability for the project, lands,
and facilities to be transferred. It
provides the non-Federal entity with
greater autonomy and flexibility to
manage the facilities to meet its needs,
in compliance with Federal, state, and
local laws and in conformance with
contractual obligations. Title-transferred
assets would no longer be Federal
assets.
Under the Reclamation Extension Act
of 1914, the responsibility for
operations, maintenance, and
replacement of facilities may be, and
often is, contractually transferred to the
water users. Title or ownership of
facilities and projects, however, must
remain with the United States until
Congress specifically authorizes their
transfer. Since 1995, Reclamation has
been working closely with qualifying
entities of specific projects and has
conveyed over 30 projects and/or
project-related facilities, including
dams, reservoirs, canals, laterals,
buildings, project lands, and easements.
Congressional authorizations for title
transfer historically have occurred on a
project-by-project basis. While Congress
may authorize future title transfers by
this same approach, recent legislation
was passed to facilitate transfer of title
for Reclamation project facilities. On
March 12, 2019, the President signed
into law the John D. Dingell, Jr.
Conservation, Management, and
Recreation Act, Public Law 116–9. Title
VIII, Subtitle A of Public Law 116–9,
Reclamation Title Transfer (Title VIII),
authorizes Reclamation to transfer title
of certain project facilities without
additional Congressional action if they
meet eligibility criteria, under
procedures established by Reclamation.
Transfer of title is a Federal action
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA requires that
when a major Federal action would
have significant impacts on the quality
of the human environment, a statement
be prepared to describe the impacts and
effects on the human environment
associated with the Federal action.
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
24173
When a Federal agency determines that
a certain category of actions will not
normally have an individually or
cumulatively significant effect on the
human environment and for which
neither an environmental assessment
(EA) nor an environmental impact
statement (EIS) is required, that category
of actions may be excluded from further
NEPA review (40 CFR 1508.4). When
appropriately established and applied,
categorical exclusions (CEs) serve a
beneficial purpose. They allow Federal
agencies to expedite the environmental
review process for proposals that
typically do not require more resourceintensive EAs or EISs (Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) 2010).
Comments on the Proposal
Reclamation solicited comments from
the public on establishing a new CE
through a 30-day public comment
period, announced in the Federal
Register on October 17, 2018 (83 FR
52503). All comments received, to date,
have been considered.
Reclamation received 16 letters from
state governments, water and irrigation
districts, water user organizations, a
national environmental professionals
association and a consortium of
conservation interests. Individual
comments included several that restated
the objectives, limitations, and rationale
for the CE, several that expressed
general or detailed support or
opposition for the CE, and several that
expressed general or detailed support or
opposition to transferring title.
Reclamation appreciates the interest
and participation of all respondents.
Reclamation has noted the comments,
which provided general support and
general opposition. For comments
providing additional detail, questions,
and suggestions, Reclamation, where
appropriate, grouped the common
comments and responds to the
comments as follows:
Comment 1—Adequacy of analysis of
title transfers: Commenters were
concerned that a CE would preclude
NEPA analysis or would not provide
enough or sufficiently rigorous analysis
for title transfer actions, including
indirect effects, reasonable alternatives
to be evaluated, and/or cumulative
effects.
Response 1—CEs are not exemptions
or waivers from NEPA. Rather, they are
a type of NEPA review intended to
accomplish the purposes of NEPA,
efficiently and effectively. A CE is a tool
to complete the NEPA environmental
review process for proposals that
normally would not require more
resource-intensive EAs or EISs.
Reclamation intends to meet
