摘要

This joint Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/DEIS) documents the analysis of the potential effects of implementing each of six alternative land use scenarios for a mixed-use development in the approximately 3,500-acre Folsom South of U.S. 50 Specific Plan area, in eastern Sacramento County, California. This abstract is provided in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. The EIR/EIS documents the existing condition of environmental issues and resources in and around areas considered for development, and potential impacts on those issues and resources as a result of implementing the alternatives. The land development alternatives considered in detail are: (1) No Project; (2) No USACE Permit; (3) Proposed Project (Applicants’ Preferred Alternative); (4) Resource Impact Minimization; (5) Centralized Development; and (6) Reduced Hillside Development. The DEIR/DEIS also evaluates in detail 11 off-site alternatives to provide potable water conveyance and treatment in support of the proposed land use development in the specific plan area. The DEIR/DEIS for the Folsom South of U.S. 50 Specific Plan project is available for a NEPA public comment and review period of 60 days from the date of publication of the notice of availability in the Federal Register. Your written comments should be postmarked 60 days from the date of publication of the notice of availability in the Federal Register. The notice of availability is expected to be published in the Federal Register on July 9, 2010. Please submit and address your written comments on the DEIS to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Branch, at the address noted above by September 10, 2010.
