Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Notices

Without some type of protection, it is
likely the bank will continue to erode
and the pumping plant facility will fail
to meet guidelines for operation of the
pumping-plant fish screens that were
published by the National Marine
Fisheries Service of National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(Department of Commerce).
Alternatives
To address these issues, we identified
and analyzed four alternatives in the
draft EIS/EIR:
Alternative 1: No-Action Alternative
Under the No-Action Alternative,
only the ongoing removal and
management of invasive plant species
would occur at the Riparian Sanctuary.
No active restoration of native plants
would occur. Maintenance activities for
the PCGID–PID pumping plant and fish
screens would continue, but no new
actions would be taken to prevent river
meander.
Alternative 2: Spur Dikes and SiteSpecific Plantings
Under Alternative 2, bank protection
measures would consist of installing
eight rock spur dikes along the
Sacramento River on the northern side
of the Riparian Sanctuary. The dike
field would extend about 2,000 feet in
length. The dikes would be spaced 225
feet apart and each dike would extend
75 feet into the river. Restoration
activities on the Riparian Sanctuary
would consist of site-specific plantings
across 400 acres of the site. Restoration
activities would include preparing the
site, planting native plants, irrigating
plants for the first 3 years, and
monitoring and managing the restored
area.

Alternative 3: Traditional Riprap and
Site-Specific Plantings
Under Alternative 3, bank protection
measures would consist of installing
riprap with or without a low berm along
the Sacramento River on the northern
side of the Riparian Sanctuary. Riprap
revetment would be installed from the
end of the existing riprap upstream for
2,500 to 2,700 feet to a point almost
directly across from the pumping plant
and fish screen facility, to protect the
riverbank from further erosion. In
addition to the site-specific plantings
described under Alternative 2,
revegetation is proposed on both the
bank and low berm areas under this
alternative.

Alternative 4: Traditional Riprap With
Upstream Rock Removal and SiteSpecific Plantings
Under Alternative 4, bank protection
measures would consist of installing
riprap with or without a low berm along
the Sacramento River on the north side
of the Riparian Sanctuary as described
in Alternative 3, including revegetation
on both the bank and low berm.
Riparian restoration would take place as
described in Alternative 2. In addition,
under Alternative 4, we proposed to
remove approximately 2,300 linear feet
of upstream bank revetment on Stateand Service-managed lands along the
north side of the peninsula upstream of
the Riparian Sanctuary. Removal of the
revetment would encourage a natural
progression of streambank erosion, and
the eventual cutoff of an oxbow. This
cut off would allow the river to flow
parallel to the pumping plant and fish
screen facility, which is the desired
alignment for the fish screen to properly
function. Installing traditional riprap on
the northern side of the Riparian
Sanctuary would hold the river in place
to prevent it from migrating further east,
away from the facility.
NEPA Compliance
The EIS/EIR discusses the direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts of the
alternatives on biological resources,
cultural resources, land use, air quality,
water quality, water resources, and
other environmental resources. It also
identifies appropriate mitigation
measures for adverse environmental
effects.
Public Review
We are conducting public review of
the EIS/EIR in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), its implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
other applicable regulations, and our
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. The EIS/EIR meets the
requirements of both NEPA and the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The California Department of
Fish and Game is the CEQA lead
agency. We provide this notice under
regulations implementing NEPA (40
CFR 1506.6).
Public Meeting
We will hold one public meeting to
solicit comments on the draft EIS/EIR.
We will send a separate notice to the
public that identifies the time, date, and
location of the meeting.
Public Comments
We invite the public to comment on
the EIS/EIR during the comment period.
