| 03-29243 | Central Utah Project Completion Act | Notice | Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, and the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (Commission), propose to create, restore, and otherwise enhance riparian wetland habitats along the Duchesne River, utah, as partial mitigation for the Bonneville Unit, Central Utah Project (CUP). This project has been planned in conjunction with the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Agency and is intended to fulfill long-standing commitments to mitigate for impacts to Ute Indian tribal and non-tribal wetland-wildlife habitats arising from construction and operation of the Bonneville Unit, and to provide additional wetland/wildlife benefits to the Ute Indian Tribe. A Proposed Action and two alternatives are evaluated, along with the No Action Alternative, in the DEIS. Under the Proposed Action, approximately 7,790 acres of land composed of Ute Indian Tribal trust lands, up to 2,154 acres of fee lands to be acquired by the Federal Government, and a 1,087-acre parcel of existing Federal land would be acquired and/or developed into a cohesive wetlands management unit. A portion of the water currently managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the uinta Indian Irrigation Project would be utilzed, along with water available under rights owned by the Federal Government, and any water acquired with fee lands, to improve existing, and restore prior existing, wetlands throughout the property. In general, the lands would be improved and managed for fish and wildlife habitat and wetland resources in a manner that replaces wetland resources, especially Ute Indian Tribal resources, lost or adversely impacted by the Bonneville Unit, CUP. All project lands would be managed by the Ute Indian Tribe under management agreements with the Joint Lead Agencies to achieve the prescribed wetlands-associated fish and wildlife benefits, and for other wetland/wildlife-related tribal benefits. The alternatives included in the DEIS are similar to the Proposed Action, differing only in the acreage amounts and locations. The public is invited to submit comments on the adequacy of the DEIS and the assessment of environmental impacts. Comments received in response to this notice will be part of the public record and available for public review pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and may be released to the public upon request. This will normally include names, addresses, and any other personal information be withheld from such releases by so indicating in their letter of comment or by means of separate written communication. | 2003-11-24 | 2003 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/11/24/03-29243/central-utah-project-completion-act | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-11-24/pdf/03-29243.pdf | Interior Department; Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission | 253,518 | Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, and the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (Commission), propose to create, restore, and... |
