The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared this environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate potential impacts associated with the Proposed Action and alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, of the Needles Topock Bankline Stabilization Project. This EA complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 USC 43421 et seq.), in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1500-1509), and the Department of Interior and Reclamation NEPA procedures (516 DM 14). The project is located in the Mohave Valley Maintenance Division of the Lower Colorado River (LCR), between Needles, CA and the I-40 bridge crossing near Topock, AZ. The specific section of bankline is along the Western boundary of the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge (HNWR), in Mohave County, Arizona from river mile A-240.5 to A-238.5.
