Environmental Policy Act of 1969, is
announcing the opportunity for the
public to review and comment on a SIR
for the SDS Draft EIS. A public hearing
to supplement the opportunity to

announced. Reclamation previously
published a notice in the Federal

2008, providing for extended public
commenting on the water quality
portion of the Draft EIS. Since then
Reclamation has completed additional
water quality analysis and is providing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on the new analysis. With this
notice Reclamation is therefore closing
the comment period on the original
water quality analysis as mentioned in
the August 25, 2008, notice and opening
the comment period for the new water
quality analysis. Reclamation has
included this analysis in a SIR for the
Draft EIS that updates and provides
additional information that was not in
the Draft EIS. The additional
information includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, the following
topics: water quality analyses, potential
effects on the western slope of Colorado,
potential effects of a failure of new
dams, effects of physical changes to the
alternatives and reasonably foreseeable
actions, clarification of Reclamation’s
purpose and need statement, changes in
the project sponsors’ Proposed Action,
and identification of Reclamation’s
