Intent To Prepare a Joint Supplemental Environment Impact 
Statement/Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the San Luis Rey 
River Flood Control Project, Operations and Maintenance Plan; San Diego 
County, CA

AGENCY: Department of the Army; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DOD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and City of Oceanside 
amends the notice published in the Federal Register on June 8, 1999 (64 
FR 30496), which announced the Corps' intent to prepare a Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed reauthorization 
study of the on-going flood control project on the San Luis Rey River, 
City of Oceanside, San Diego County, California. This amendment to the 
notice revises the June 8, 1999, notice to announce the Corps' intent 
to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental 
Impact Report (SEIS/EIR) to address changes to the operation and 
maintenance (O&M) plan for the on-going flood control project on the 
San Luis Rey River. The study area is located in the City of Oceanside, 
in the northwest portion of San Diego County, California. The study 
area is comprised of the lower 7.2 miles of the river, from the Pacific 
Ocean to the College Boulevard Bridge. The original Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (FEIS) was dated September 25, 1970.

DATES: Submit comments on or before April 4, 2008.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, CESPL-
PD-RN, P.O. Box 532711, Los Angeles, CA 90053-2325.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms Tiffany Kayama; phone (213) 452-
3845; or e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Changes to the O&M plan are necessary to 
address Federal- and State-listed endangered species that now inhabit 
the project area and critical habitat that has been designated within 
the project area.

[[Page 10609]]

The changes are focused on vegetation clearing and sediment removal to 
provide for flood control consistent with the project scope and 
authorization, and eliminate or reduce potential effects to listed 
species.
    The Corps conducted a public scoping meeting on June 16, 1999, in 
Oceanside, California. This scoping meeting was held to solicit public 
input on significant environmental issues associated with the on-going 
flood control project. A second public scoping meeting will not be 
held.
    Useful information requested includes other environmental studies, 
published and unpublished data, and alternatives that should be 
addressed in the analysis. Individuals and agencies may offer 
information relevant or data relevant to the proposed study and provide 
comments by mailing the information to Ms. Tiffany Kayama (see DATES 
and ADDRESSES). Request to be placed on the mailing list for 
announcements and the Draft SEIS/EIR also should be sent to Ms. Kayama 
(see ADDRESSES).
    A fully array of alternatives to the proposed action will be 
developed for analyses, including the no action plan.

Alex C. Dornstauder,
Colonel, U.S. Army, District Engineer.
