Information
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is an environmental document required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for actions that significantly affect the quality of the human environment (42 USC §4332). The Corps may be the lead Federal agency or a cooperating agency for compliance with NEPA. The lead Federal agency is generally the agency with the larger federal control over the proposed action. For actions in which the Corps is the lead Federal agency, an EIS would only be required for certain actions that require an individual standard permit.
The decision to prepare an EIS is made based on whether the action would or could result in significant impacts to the human environment. In many cases this decision is made by the Corps after receipt of a complete Department of the Army (DA) permit application. In some cases, the decision to prepare an EIS may not be made until an environmental assessment is completed. All applicants will be informed on a determination that an EIS is necessary as soon as possible during the review period.
Process
Generally an EIS is prepared by a qualified environmental contractor chosen by the Corps, with the applicant responsible for the cost of preparation. When the Corps determines an EIS is necessary for a proposed action, the applicant will be notified in writing and requested to provide at least three (3) qualified third-party contractors who could prepare the EIS, in order of preference to the Corps. The contractor should have experience with NEPA and the Corps regulatory program. The Corps will choose the first qualified contractor on the list and notify the applicant of the choice. The Corps will work with the applicant and the contractor to prepare a Statement of Responsibilities and Scope of Work for the EIS preparation. As the lead Federal agency, the Corps is responsible for the preparation and content of the EIS to ensure an independent review. Although the applicant incurs the cost of the preparation of the EIS, the contractor is under the sole direction of the Corps, and will have limited interaction with the applicant.
Following selection of the third-party contractor, the Corps will initiate the scoping process by publishing a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register (FR), and issue public notice. The NOI is intended to solicit from the pubic factors to consider in the EIS. Based on comments received during scoping, the EIS will be prepared by the contractor. When ready, the Draft EIS (DEIS) is released to the public through a Notice of Availability (NOA) published in the Federal Register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The Corps will also publish a public notice for the proposed action and the DEIS, which will be sent to all adjacent property owners, interested agencies and the public, and will be posted on our website. The public will be given a specific period in which to comment on the DEIS. Following the close of the comment period of the DEIS, the Final EIS (FEIS) is completed based on comments received. The FEIS is then released to the public through a NOA published in the Federal Register by the USEPA and the Corps will publish a public notice. The public will be given a minimum of thirty days to comment on the FEIS. Following the close of the comment period on the FEIS, if all information has been received to make a permit decision, the Corps will prepare a Record of Decision (ROD) for the action. A public notice will be published following the completion of the ROD.

EIS Contractor: ESA
Description of Proposed Action:
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Sacramento District, will prepare a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for Corps authorization actions for the proposed Elverta Specific Plan project, a proposed master planned community in Sacramento County, CA. The Elverta Owners Group has applied for Department of Army permits to fill approximately 39 acres of waters of the United States, including wetlands, to construct this project.
The Elverta Specific Plan is primarily residential in character: It includes 880.3 acres of urban residential uses and 551.8 acres of agricultural-residential uses with a total of 6,187 residential
units; 15.0 acres of commercial uses; 4.4 acres of office/professional uses; 20.2 acres of school uses; 73.3 acres of park uses; 18.4 acres (former landfill site) to be designated as open space; and 191.9 acres to be used for drainageways, detention facilities, trails, powerline corridor and major roads.
The project would result in fill of up to 39 acres of waters of the United States, including seasonal wetlands, vernal pools, intermittent channels, swales, and ditches. Some of this fill would be permanent and some would be temporary. Temporary fill would be restored with approximately 15 acres of riparian corridors on the project site. The riparian enhancements are expected to enhance the hydrologic functions and biological quality of existing channels. Offsite mitigation is also proposed to compensate for onsite impacts to wetlands and waters.
Location: Sections 8-10, 15-17, and 20-22, Township 10 North, Range 5 East, MDB&M, Sacramento County, California.

Description of Proposed Action: The proposed Lower Elkhorn Basin Levee Setback Project would include levee setbacks to widen portions of the Yolo and Sacramento Bypasses to increase conveyance capacity and reduce flood risk. The project would be part of a series of proposed flood risk management improvements contemplated under DWR's Central Valley Flood Protection Plan and its related Sacramento Basin-Wide Feasibility Report. The project would include the following elements: (1) Widening the Yolo Bypass by constructing a setback levee east of the Tule Canal in the Lower Elkhorn Basin, (2) widening the Sacramento Bypass by constructing a setback levee north of the existing levee, and (3) implementing improvements in the Lower Elkhorn Basin and Sacramento Bypass to mitigate project impacts. Widening of the Sacramento Bypass, per number (2) of the Proposed Action, is also a recommended feature of the American River Common Features GRR, for which a general reevaluation was completed in 2016, although it is not yet congressionally authorized. The proposed Lower Elkhorn Basin Levee Setback Project is not intended to duplicate this recommended feature, rather it offers DWR a potential alternative means to construct this key feature should the project not be authorized prior to USACE's decision on DWR's request under Section 408.
Location: The approximately 2,600-acre project site is located within the Lower Elkhorn Basin and is bounded by the Sacramento River on the east, the Tule Canal and Yolo Bypass on the west, the Sacramento Bypass on the south, and Interstate 5 on the north. The site is within Yolo County, California and can be seen on the Grays Bend, Taylor Monument, and Sacramento West USGS Topographic Quadrangles.

Applicant: West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (WSAFCA)
NEPA Lead Agency: US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District
EIS Contractor: ICF
Description of Proposed Action:
The applicant is proposing to reduce flood risk in West Sacramento, California, by addressing known levee deficiencies along the Southport reach of levees. WSAFCA is proposing a project along the Sacramento River west levee under the California Department of Water Resources’ Early Implementation Program (EIP) to expeditiously complete flood-risk reduction measures. Known as the Southport Sacramento River EIP, the project proposes implementation of flood-risk reduction measures along a 5.6-mile long reach between the Barge Canal downstream to the South Cross Levee. Improvements to the levee would address through-seepage, under-seepage, and embankment instability (e.g., overly steepened slopes). The project entails approximately 35.7 acres of impacts to the Sacramento River and 1.8 acres of impacts to ditches within the project area. There are no impacts to wetlands. The site is characterized by the Sacramento River, the levee, private agricultural lands and rural residences, two commercial marinas and a residential development at the northern end of the project area. Any such alterations as proposed by WSAFCA are subject to approval by USACE. USACE also has authority under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act over activities involving the discharge of dredged or fill material to waters of the United States. The agencies are preparing a joint document in an effort to reduce duplication between federal and local environmental requirements.
LOCATION: The approximately 2,280-acre site is located on the Sacramento River, in Townships 7 and 8 North, Range 4 East, Mount Diablo Meridian, Latitude 38.5284°, Longitude -121.5291°, Yolo County, California.

Applicant: Panoche Valley Solar, LLC.
NEPA Lead Agency(s): US Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District
EIS Contractor: Environmental Management and Planning Solutions, Inc.
Description of Proposed Action:
The applicant is proposing to construct a 247 MW solar facility on approximately 2,506 acres of the proposed project site. The proposed project would result in the discharge of fill material into 0.121 acres of waters of the U.S. consisting of 0.001 acre of Las Aguilas Creek for a road crossing and 0.12 acre of three unnamed ephemeral drainages for grading, road crossings, and solar panels.
The proposed project would include the construction of the following: grading, solar arrays, perimeter roads, substation, switching station, operations and management building, loop-in tubular steel poles, trenching and foundation installation, perimeter fencing, and construction of a new fence. In addition, the applicant is proposing to construct primary and secondary telecommunication upgrades to interconnect the proposed project, which would not impact any waters of the U.S. Primary telecommunication upgrades include installation of optical ground wire along 17 miles of the Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Panoche-Moss Landing 230 kV transmission line, between the new proposed substation and the PG&E Panoche Substation in Fresno County. Where the existing 230 kV lines cross under two existing 500 kV transmission lines, the applicant is proposing all-dielectric self-supporting fiber for approximately 4,650 feet on 12 existing wood distribution poles north of the 230 kV transmission line. The proposed secondary telecommunication upgrades would include establishment of a secondary telecommunication path, consisting of a microwave communication system, to ensure system reliability. The secondary telecommunication upgrades would include constructing a new 100-foot microwave tower at the project site and at PG&E’s Helm Substation in Fresno County and collocating microwave equipment on existing microwave towers on Call Mountain and Panoche Mountain.
The proposed project would also include preservation of 24,176 acres of conservation lands on the proposed project site (2,514 acre Valley Floor Conservation Lands) and on two adjacent off-site locations (10,772 acre Valadeao Ranch Conservation Lands and 10,890 acre Silver Creek Ranch Conservation Lands). In order to compensate for the proposed impacts to waters of the U.S., the applicant is proposing to enhance 12.11 acres of waters of the U.S. through the construction of three ponds containing habitat for California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), debris removal from ephemeral streams in 9 areas, and the installation of cattle exclusion fencing adjacent to Panoche Creek.
Location: The proposed project site is located approximately 0.75 miles north of Panoche Road, east and west of Little Panoche Road, Latitude 36.63149° North, Longitude 120.86622° West, in San Benito County, California.

Description of Proposed Action:
The Natomas Levee Improvement Project (NLIP) entails improving the levee system that protects the 53,000-acre Natomas Basin. The project’s purpose is to provide at least 100-year flood protection to segments of the Federal levee system that do not currently meet that standard. Phase 2 of the NLIP project consists of several “landside” components of the larger NLIP targeted for construction in 2008–2010. The project comprises the first phase of the overall Landside Improvements Project and includes improvements to correct levee freeboard deficiencies and seepage potential along the Natomas Cross Canal (NCC) south levee, Sacramento River east levee, and Pleasant Grove Creek Canal (PGCC) west levee. The project also includes related landscape and irrigation/drainage infrastructure improvements in a portion of the Natomas Basin.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Sacramento District, prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Corps authorization (408 permission and 404 permit) of the project. These authorizations were completed in late January – early February, 2009. The project will result in impacts to approximately 16.56 acres of waters of the United States, including 7.89 acres of wetlands. The project will also result in temporary impacts to 69.55 acres of waters of the U.S. including 59.29 acres of wetlands (primarily rice fields).
SAFCA maintains a web page for the overall NLIP project, with many additional resources available for review, found at: http://www.safca.org/Programs_Natomas.html
Location: The project is located in Townships 9, 10, and 11 North, Ranges 3 and 4 East, on the Sacramento West, Taylor Monument, Gray’s Bend, and Verona U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangles. Approximate latitude and longitude coordinates at the north and south ends of the project area are: 39.090676N, -121.584302W and 39.009461N, -121.578301W. The project is located in Sacramento and Sutter Counties, California.
