Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 80 / Friday, April 25, 2014 / Notices

for the proposed Moffat Project is to
address two major issues: (1)
Timeliness—the overall near-term water
supply shortage, and (2) location—the
imbalance in water storage and supply
between the North and South systems.
The Moffat Project would result in
direct impacts to jurisdictional waters of
the United States (U.S.), including
wetlands. The placement of fill material
in these waters of the U.S. for the
construction of water storage and
distribution facilities associated with
developing additional water supplies
requires authorization from the Corps
under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act. The City and County of Denver is
the Permittee and Applicant, acting by
and through its Board of Water
Commissioners (Denver Water).
The Final EIS was prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA), and the Corps’
regulations for NEPA implementation
(33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR]
parts 230 and 325, Appendices B and
C). The Corps, Omaha District, Denver
Regulatory Office is the lead federal
agency responsible for the Final EIS and
information contained in the Final EIS
serves as the basis for a decision
regarding issuance of a Section 404
Permit. The Final EIS also provides
information for local and state agencies
having jurisdictional responsibility for
affected resources.
DATES: Written comments on the Final
EIS will be accepted on or before June
9, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments
regarding the Proposed Action and Final
EIS to Rena Brand, Moffat EIS Project
Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Omaha District, Denver Regulatory
Office, 9307 South Wadsworth
Boulevard, Littleton, CO 80128, or via
email to [email protected].
Requests to be placed on or be removed
from the Project mailing list should also
be sent to this address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rena Brand, Moffat EIS Project Manager,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Final EIS is to provide
decision-makers and the public with
information pertaining to the Proposed
Action and alternatives, and to disclose
environmental impacts and identify
mitigation measures to reduce impacts.
Denver Water proposes to enlarge its
existing 41,811–AF Gross Dam and
Reservoir by 72,000 AF to a total storage
capacity of 113,811 AF. Gross Dam and
Reservoir is located in Boulder County,

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

CO, approximately 35 miles northwest
of Denver and 6 miles southwest of the
City of Boulder. The enlargement would
be accomplished by raising the existing
concrete gravity arch dam by 125 feet,
from 340 to 465 feet high. The surface
area of the reservoir would be expanded
from approximately 418 to 818 acres.
Denver Water is proposing to raise the
dam an additional 6 feet to a total height
of 471 feet with a surface area of 842
acres to create 5,000 AF of additional
storage for environmental mitigation
(‘‘Environmental Pool’’). The additional
storage would be filled with water
provided by the cities of Boulder and
Lafayette. Using existing collection
infrastructure, water from the Fraser
River, Williams Fork River, and South
Boulder Creek would be diverted and
delivered during average to wet years
via the Moffat Tunnel and South
Boulder Creek to Gross Reservoir. There
would be no additional diversions in
dry years because Denver Water already
diverts the maximum amount physically
and legally available under its existing
water rights. In order to firm this water
supply and provide 18,000 AF per year
of new firm yield, an additional 72,000
AF of storage capacity is necessary. To
meet future demands, in most years,
Denver Water would continue to rely on
supplies from its North and South
collection systems. In a drought or
emergency, Denver Water would rely on
the additional water it would have
previously stored in the Moffat
Collection System to provide the
additional 18,000 AF of yield.
In addition to the Proposed Action
(Alternative 1a)—Gross Reservoir
Expansion (Additional 77,000 AF with
the Environmental Pool for Mitigation),
the Final EIS analyzed five additional
alternatives: (1) Alternative 1c—Gross
Reservoir Expansion (Additional 40,700
AF)/New Leyden Gulch Reservoir
(31,300 AF); (2) Alternative 8a—Gross
Reservoir Expansion (Additional 52,000
AF)/Reusable Return Flows/Gravel Pit
Storage (5,000 AF); (3) Alternative 10a—
Gross Reservoir Expansion (Additional
52,000 AF)/Reusable Return Flows/
Denver Basin Aquifer Storage (20,000
AF); (4) Alternative 13a—Gross
Reservoir Expansion (Additional 60,000
AF)/Transfer of Agricultural Water
Rights/Gravel Pit Storage (3,625 AF);
and (5) the No Action Alternative,
which assumes that Denver Water
would not receive approval from the
Corps to implement the Moffat Project.
The No Action Alternative would
require Denver Water to use a
combination of strategies to meet the
need for additional water supply,
including using a portion of its Strategic

restrictions to reduce demand during
