Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/R) and Feasibility Report for the Upper Penitencia Creek, California, Flood Control Study

The San Francisco District, U.S. Army corps of Engineers, together with its non-Federal sponsor, the Santa Clara Valley Water district, is conducting a feasibility study for flood control along Upper Penitencia Creek, Santa Clara County, California. Based on the results of the reconnaissance study the Corps has determined there is a Federal interest in two alternatives that would modify the floodplain, construct a bypass culvert, and in the alternative, floodproof some structures. These alternatives would provide net economic benefits while minimizing environmental impacts. The Corps of Engineers is the lead agency for this project under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the Santa Clara Valley Water district (SCVWD) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIS/R will enable the lead agencies to comply with the requirements of NEPA and CEQA.
