💧Notice of Draft EIS/EIR for North-to-South Water Transfers
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) will prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate a range of alternatives for potential one-year water transfer activities subject to proposal, review, and approval on an annual basis (the "Proposed Action"). Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority (SLDMWA) will prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on the same range of potential north-to-south water transfer activities (the "Project") concurrent with the EIS preparation. A joint EIS/EIR will be prepared to examine the effects of water transfers between willing buyers and sellers when circumstances allow. To afford an informational opportunity for comprehensive environmental review otherwise unavailable to the public, Reclamation's responsibilities are defined under Federal law and it is serving as the Lead Agency for the "Proposed Action" under NEPA and SLDMWA is the Lead Agency under CEQA for the "Project." Reclamation is requesting comments on alternatives and effects, as well as on relevant information, studies, or analyses with respect to the proposed action.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed action involving the segment of the Black River in Butler County, Missouri, that reaches from the city of Poplar Bluff south to the Missouri-Arkansas state line. This reach of the Black River intersects four adjacent watersheds: Little Hunting Slough-Black River, Catherine Slough, Blue Spring Slough, and Old Menorkenut Slough. Along this stretch of river are residences, agricultural land, developed land, and the Coon Island Conservation Area. NRCS is requesting that interested individuals, Federal and State agencies, and Tribes participate in the scoping process for the EIS by attending the initial public scoping meeting and by submitting comments as described below. The goal of scoping is for NRCS to obtain input on identifying significant issues, potential alternatives, information, and analyses relevant to the proposed action.

Learn More🏥VA Proposes Environmental Impact Statement for Reno Medical Center Relocation
This Notice provides information to Federal, state, and local agencies; Native American tribes; and other interested persons regarding VA's intent to prepare a Programmatic EIS (PEIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts for the proposed relocation of the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System (VASNHCS) Ioannis A. Lougaris VA Medical Center (Reno VAMC) services and facilities in Reno, Nevada. Programmatic National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents are used to assess the environmental impacts of proposed policies, plans, programs, or projects for which subsequent actions will be implemented based on the programmatic analyses, providing the foundation for subsequent additional analysis of specific actions that "tier" from the programmatic document. Tiering allows an agency to eliminate repetitive discussions of the same issues, focus on the actual issues ripe for decision, and exclude from consideration issues already decided or not yet ripe for environmental review. Programmatic NEPA analysis is appropriate in cases where an agency is adopting a large multi-phased program, plans or suite of projects, allowing an agency to make informed decisions timed to coincide with meaningful points in agency planning and decision making. Such is the case with the proposed relocation of the VASNHCS Reno VAMC services and facilities in Reno, Nevada (i.e., project specific siting/construction/ operation of necessary services and supporting facilities, leasing needs, and site opportunities). The analyses for these actions will be broadly discussed in the programmatic document (PEIS) and the specific analyses deferred to the subsequent tiered NEPA document(s) when ripe for environmental review.
Learn More⚛️Draft EIS for Kemmerer Power Station
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is issuing for public comment a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The draft EIS is in response to an application submitted by TerraPower, LLC (TerraPower) on behalf of US SFR Owner, LLC (USO), a wholly owned subsidiary of TerraPower, for a construction permit (CP) for a Natrium advanced reactor at a site in Lincoln County, Wyoming, designated as Kemmerer Power Station, Unit 1 (Kemmerer Unit 1). USO plans to build and operate Kemmerer Unit 1 to demonstrate the Natrium advanced reactor while ultimately replacing electricity generation capacity in the PacifiCorp service area following planned retirement of existing coal-fired facilities. The draft EIS evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed action of issuing a CP that would allow the construction of Kemmerer Unit 1, as well as the environmental impacts of the following alternatives to the proposed action: (1) the no-action alternative (i.e., denying the CP application) and (2) building the proposed Natrium advanced reactor at a different location.
