NEPA Analysis

NRCS, as the lead federal agency, has prepared a Draft Plan-EIS that analyzes potential impacts to the natural and human environment from this Project. The Draft Plan-EIS also integrates analysis following the Principles, Requirements and Guidelines for Water and Land Related Resources Implementation Studies and Federal Water Resource Investments (PR&G, 2018). The Draft Plan-EIS has been reviewed by NRCS-Utah, the National Water Management Center, and NRCS-National Headquarters. 

Current Status

NRCS is accepting comments on the Draft Watershed Plan-EIS between May 8, 2026 and June 22, 2026. A public meeting for the Project will be held on May 20, 2026—see information below.
