Record of Decision for the Narrows Project. Final Environmental Impact Statement.

摘要

In November 2012, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) completed and published the Narrows Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The Narrows Project is a non-Federal dam and reservoir proposed by the Sanpete Water Conservancy District (SWCD) on Gooseberry Creek in Sanpete County, Utah. The proposed Federal action is that Reclamation will: (1) approve or deny a loan application under the Small Reclamation Projects Act (SRPA), as amended (43 U.S.C. 422a-422k; 70 Stat. 1044); and (2) determine whether to allow SWCD to use 304.5 acres of Reclamation withdrawn land, under the authority of Section 10 of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (53 Stat. 1187, 43 U.S.C. 485a) as implemented in 43 CFR Part 429. The FEIS describes the potential effects that would result from public and/or private funding of the non-Federal Narrows project (including an SRPA loan) and authorizing use of Federal lands for the projects construction, operation, and maintenance.
