Option and Lease Agreement Among the Ak-Chin Indian Community, the United States, and Del Webb Corporation, Maricopa County, AZ

摘要

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) proposes to prepare a draft environmental assessment (EA) for approval of the provision of leased settlement water under an option and lease agreement among the Ak-Chin Indian Community, the United States, and the Del Webb Corporation. Reclamation is initiating early scoping for the proposed EA and will be conducting a scoping meeting. Reclamation intends that this scoping meeting be used to serve as public scoping for preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS), should it be determined that one is required.
