Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for El Rio Antiguo, Rillito River, a Feasibility Study of a Portion of the Rillito River in the City of Tucson, Pima County, AZ

The Los Angeles District of the U.S. Corps of Engineers (the Corps) will initiate analyses of foreseeable environmental impacts from actions potentially to be implemented on a reach of the Rillito River. The Corps will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to accompany the Feasibility Report. Pima County will participate in the Feasibility Study. The Rillito River flows from east to west along the south face of the Catalina Mountains, and is tributary to the Santa Cruz River. The study area extends from the confluence of Pantano and Tanque Verde Washes, which happens to coincide with Craycroft Road, downstream to Campbell Road. About 4.8 river miles lie between those limits. Except for a region on the south side approximately one mile long, all existing banks have been stabilized with soils cement. The study area will extend on the north side to include uplands in a region known locally as "the bend", and on the south side to encompass lands potentially to be acquired along Alvernon Way and at Campbell Road. Approximately 925 acres lie within the roughly defined study area, and of that about 525 acres would be called uplands. A habitat restoration project on the south ban
