SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This FSEIS was prepared to describe the 
potential environmental effects of construction and operation of flood 
control facilities encompassing private and public lands within the Las 
Vegas Valley and Boulder City by the Clark County Regional Flood 
Control District for the next ten-year period. Due to changes in 
Federal regulations, regional growth, flooding history, and CCRFCD 
project changes and objectives that have occurred since 1991, this 
FSEIS was also prepared for the CCRFCD's Master Plan to update the 1991 
FEIS. This document also assesses impacts associated with the 
implementation of the Master Plan and subsequent updates.
    The changing needs and interests of the public and the growth 
within the Las Vegas Valley necessitates a revision to the Flood 
Control Master Plan FEIS. Preliminary issues and management concerns 
have been identified by the BLM and CCRFCD, their consultant, and other 
agencies, and represent the BLM's current information on existing 
issues and management concerns. The major issue themes that will be 
addressed in the SEIS include: Impacts to surface water hydrology and 
water quality; protection of Federally-listed species, State-listed 
species, and BLM sensitive species; minimizing impacts to air quality; 
minimizing visibility impacts; balancing conflicting and compatible 
land uses; protection of cultural and paleontological resources; 
cumulative impacts of the project; and the creation of a new project-
specific analysis procedure for future flood control facilities.
