Reach 11 Recreation Master Plan, Central Arizona Project, Arizona

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and the Council on Environmental Quality's Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), in conjunction with the City of Phoenix (City), has prepared a draft EIS for a Recreation Master Plan for the Reach 11 Recreation Area (Reach 11), located in the northeast portion of the City, Maricopa County, Arizona. The draft EIS describes the anticipated environmental effects associated with the proposed approval and implementation of a recreation master plan for a 1,500- acre area adjacent to the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal, between Cave Creek and Scottsdale roads. The land is owned by Reclamation and is managed for recreational purposes by the City's Recreation and Library Department (PRLD) under a 1986 land use agreement. The draft EIS describes in detail a proposed recreation master plan and two action alternative master plans that could be approved and implemented. A No Action Alternative is also described, which provides a baseline for comparing the impacts of the three action alternatives. A public hearing will be held to receive comments fr
