Final Environmental Impact Statement and Planning Report, American River Water Resources Investigation, California

Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (as amended), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) as lead agency has prepared a FEIS and Planning Report for the American River Water Resources Investigation (ARWRI), California. The purpose of the FEIS is to address the environmental impacts of meeting the future water needs for the local area through the year 2030. The FEIS describes the environmental effects of three alternatives, including no action. The proposed alternatives provide a means of action through which the water needs of the five-county area (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Sutter) are met. The proposed alternatives exercise the provisions of several Federal laws as applicable to Reclamation. The FEIS also incorporates the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and includes all comments received on the DEIS and responses to those comments.
