ACTION: Notice of availability on the draft environmental impact report/draft environmental impact statement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (as amended), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as lead agencies, have prepared a joint draft environmental impact report/draft environmental impact statement (DEIR/ DEIS) for the Interim South Delta Program (ISDP). The proposed alternatives provide a means of action to (1) improve water levels and circulation in south Delta channels for local agricultural diversions; and (2) improve south Delta hydraulic conditions to increase diversion into Clifton Court Forebay to optimize the frequency of full pumping [[Page 42914]] capacity at Banks Pumping Plant. The proposed alternatives exercise the provisions of several Federal laws as applicable to Reclamation. The DEIR/DEIS also examines the relationship of the ISDP to the CALFED Bay- Delta Program. Public hearings will be held in two sessions to receive written or verbal comments on the DEIR/DEIS from interested organizations and individuals on the environmental impacts of the proposal. Notice of the hearings will appear at a future date. DATES: The public review period commences with the publication of this notice. Written comments on the DEIR/DEIS are to be submitted to the Project Manager, California Department of Water Resources, by December 6, 1996.
