  <description><![CDATA[ The Bureau of Reclamation published a notice in the Federal 
Register on March 6, 2006 (71 FR 11226) announcing the commencement of 
work under the National Environmental Policy Act on an environmental 
impact statement for the Northwest Area Water Supply Project (NAWS 
Project). We are now notifying the public that Reclamation has prepared 
a Draft EIS which is now available for review and comment. The Draft 
EIS provides information and analyses related to water treatment for 
the NAWS Project that would further minimize the transfer of 
potentially invasive species from the Missouri River basin into the 
Hudson Bay basin from potential treatment or conveyance failures. The 
Draft EIS analyzes the potential environmental, cultural, and 
socioeconomic effects of four alternatives.

  <description><![CDATA[ The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the San Luis & 
DeltaMendota Water Authority (Authority) are preparing a joint EIS/
EIR, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and the 
California Environmental Quality Act, to evaluate effects of extending 
the Grassland Bypass Project (Project) until December 31, 2019. The 
Project's use of the San Luis Drain (Drain) was only authorized until [[Page 72758]]<br/>
December 31, 2009. Additionally, subsurface drainage flows discharged 
to Mud Slough (North) were to have met water quality objectives by 
October 1, 2010, as required by the Regional Water Quality Control 
Board, Central Valley Region's (CVRWQCB) 1998 Water Quality Control 
Plan (Basin Plan) for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River 
Basins. However, difficulty in acquiring final funding has delayed the 
development and availability of treatment and disposal technology to 
reduce selenium loads to meet the 2010 deadline. It is anticipated that 
the extension to 2019 would allow enough time to<script type="text/javascript">

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is notifying the public that 
Reclamation and the State of North Dakota have prepared a Final EIS for 
the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP). The purpose of the 
RRVWSP is to supply water to meet the water needs of the people and 
industries in the Red River Valley through the year 2050. The project's 
needs were established by Congress in the Dakota Water Resources Act of 
2000. The project needs are defined as municipal, rural, and industrial 
supplies; water quality; aquatic environment; and water conservation 
measures. Reclamation published a Draft EIS on December 30, 2005. 
Following public comments on the Draft EIS and the addition of new 
information, Reclamation published a Supplemental Draft EIS on January 
31, 2007. The comment period for the Draft EIS started on December 30, 
2005 and continued through April 25, 2007 with review of the 
Supplemental Draft EIS. Revisions were made to the<script type="text/javascript">
