Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact
Report for the American River

River Erosion Protection and Arden

(Sacramento County, California), as
Authorized Under the Water Resources
Development Act of 2016
Department of the Army, U.S.

ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Sacramento
District, the State of California, and
Central Valley Flood Protection Board
(CVFPB) are preparing a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report
(Draft Supplemental EIS/EIR) for the
American River Contract 2 (Proposed
Action) of the American River Common
Features (ARCF) Levee Improvement
Project authorized by the Water
Resources Development Act of 2016.
This Draft Supplemental EIS/EIR
supplements the ARCF General
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:33 Jul 30, 2020
Jkt 250001
Reevaluation Report (GRR) Final EIS/
EIR (May 2016). The Proposed Action
includes constructing erosion protection
measures at Lower American River
(LAR) sites 2–2 (river mile 7.5 right
bank), and 2–3 (river mile 5.9 right
bank), transporting excavated materials
from site 2–3 to the Arden Pond
mitigation site for construction of
shallow water fish habitat for juvenile
salmon, construction of a berm to
separate the restored Arden Pond from
the adjacent bass pond, and planting of
emergent and riparian vegetation to
provide Shaded Riverine Aquatic (SRA)
habitat. The Proposed Action is
necessary to protect the levee from
erosion damage that could reduce its
reliability to protect against flooding,
and to mitigate loss of fish and riparian
habitat for the American River Common
Features Project Endangered Species
Act consultation requirements.
Conceptual components of the Proposed
Action were analyzed (erosion
protection measures) in the ARCF GRR
Final EIS/EIR, but some elements of the
Proposed Action (Arden Pond and SRA
habitat mitigation) were not analyzed in
the ARCF GRR Final EIS/EIR because
habitat mitigation locations and designs
were still in formulation at the time the
Final EIS/EIR was completed. The
USACE has now developed levee
erosion protection and habitat
mitigation designs in sufficient detail to
analyze their environmental effects.
DATES: Written comments regarding the
scope of the environmental analysis
should be received by August 31, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
suggestions concerning this Project and
requests to be included on the Project
mailing list may be submitted to Ms.
Andrea Meier, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Sacramento District, Attn:
Planning Division (CESPK–PDR), 1325 J
Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the Proposed Action
and draft Supplemental EIS/EIR may be
addressed to Ms. Andrea Meier at (916)
557–7206, email at Andrea.J.Meier@
usace.army.mil, or by mail at 1325 J
Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 (see
ADDRESS). Additional information will
also be posted periodically on the
internet under the American River
Contract 2 web page at:
www.sacleveeupgrades.com.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Proposed Action. The USACE is
preparing a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)/
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report (SEIR) to analyze environmental
impacts of the authorized erosion
protection and habitat mitigation
PO 00000
Frm 00008

components of the larger ARCF 2016
levee improvement project. The
Proposed Action includes constructing
erosion countermeasures at LAR sites 2–
2 and 2–3, transporting excavated
materials from site 2–3 to Arden Pond,
and construction of the Arden Pond
mitigation site. Bench excavation at
LAR site 2–3 would provide fill material
for the 18-acre Arden Pond mitigation
site and fill material to construct a berm
to separate the mitigation area from the
remaining 8.3-acre bass pond. The
project will be implemented as
American River Contract 2.
2. Alternatives. Alternatives that may
be considered include: (1) Construction
of erosion protection measures at LAR
site 2–2 and excavation of the bench at
LAR 2–3; (2) habitat restoration at
Arden Pond; and (3) the required No
Action Alternative.
3. Scoping Process.
a. A public scoping meeting will be
held in the form of a teleconference
and/or webinar to present an overview
of the American River Erosion
Protection and Arden Pond Mitigation
Projects, the Proposed Action and the
alternatives that have been identified,
and the Supplemental EIS/EIR process.
Scoping will afford all interested parties
an opportunity to comment on the scope
of analysis in the draft document. The
public scoping webinar will be held in
August 2020. Exact date, time,
registration details, additional
information, and any schedule changes
will be announced online at:
www.sacleveeupgrades.com.
b. Potentially significant issues to be
analyzed in depth in the Draft
Supplemental EIS/EIR include: Impacts
to water quality, air quality, climate
change, special status species, terrestrial
vegetation and wildlife, recreation,
traffic and circulation, noise, aesthetic
and visual resources, and cultural
resources. The document will also
evaluate the Proposed Action’s
anticipated cumulative effects.
c. The USACE will consult with the
National Marine Fisheries Service and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to
comply with the Endangered Species
Act and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act. The USACE will also
consult with the State Historic
Preservation Officer and Native
American Tribes to comply with the
National Historic Preservation Act.
d. A 45-day public review period will
be provided for individuals, interested
parties, and agencies to review and
comment on the Draft Supplemental
EIS/EIR. All interested parties are
encouraged to respond to this notice
and provide a current address if they

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 148 / Friday, July 31, 2020 / Notices
wish to be notified of the Draft

Supplemental EIS/EIR is scheduled to
be available for public review and
comment during winter 2020–2021.

(RSA), which is housed within the
Department’s Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services.
The update also reflects RSA’s new
address.
In this modified system of records
notice, the Department updates the
section entitled ‘‘AUTHORITY FOR
MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM.’’
Specifically, the Department adds
references to sections 106 and 607 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (the Act), as
well as section 116 of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA), to reflect data collection and
reporting requirement changes made by
WIOA and its amendments to the Act.
All data collected through the ‘‘Case
Service Report (RSA–911)’’ are
necessary to satisfy statutory
requirements and programmatic
purposes of the VR and SE programs.
The Department updates the section
of this notice entitled ‘‘PURPOSE(S) OF
THE SYSTEM’’ to reflect amendments
to the Act made by WIOA. Specifically,
the Department makes clear that the
data collected and maintained by this
system will be used for performance and
accountability purposes in addition to
program research and evaluation.
The Department updates the section
of this notice entitled ‘‘CATEGORIES
OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE
SYSTEM’’ to reflect statutory
requirements made by amendments to
the Act by WIOA. The system collects
data on individuals who are
participating in, as well as those who
have exited from, the VR program, and
the SE program as applicable, each
program year. This means that the data
collected is from both open service
records, as well as from closed service
records, from both of those programs.
Under the former system of records, the
Department used the system to collect
data on only individuals who had exited
the VR program.
The Department updates the section
of this notice entitled ‘‘CATEGORIES
OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM’’ by
expanding the personal and
demographic information collected in
order to comply with statutory
requirements imposed by WIOA and its
amendments to the Act. Some of the
additional demographic data collected
include ex-offender status and other
barriers to employment information, all
of which are consistent with the data
collection requirements of the Act and
WIOA.
The Department updates the section
of this modified system of records
notice entitled ‘‘RECORD SOURCE
