DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Plan/Environmental Impact Statement, Antioch, CA--Central Valley 
Project

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a Resource Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS) and notice of a Stakeholders 
Workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is preparing a RMP/EIS 
for Contra Loma Reservoir and Recreation Area to establish uniform 
policy and land management guidelines that promote an organized use, 
development, and management of the Contra Loma Reservoir and the 
surrounding recreational area lands. The RMP/EIS shall be prepared to 
meet all Federal and Reclamation standards. These standards include 
consideration of appropriate Federal, state, and local laws and 
ordinances including the National Environmental Policy Act, the 
Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the 
National Historic Preservation Act, the Federal Water Project 
Recreation Act, and the Reclamation Recreation Management Act, as 
applicable. Reclamation will conduct a workshop for the benefit of the 
various Stakeholders. The purpose of the workshop is to provide the 
Stakeholders information relative to Reclamation uniform policies, 
including land management guidelines that promote use, management, and 
development, of the Contra Loma Reservoir and the surrounding 
recreational area lands. A public scoping meeting will be announced at 
a later date for the purpose of soliciting input on the alternatives, 
concerns, and issues to be addressed in the RMP/EIS.

DATES: A workshop will be held on December 9, 2009 from 12:30 p.m. to 
2:30 p.m., in Antioch, California.

ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held at the Lone Tree Golf Course and 
Event Center, 4800 Golf Course Road, Antioch, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Sheryl Carter, Land Use & Resource 
Planning Specialist, South-Central California Area Office, Bureau of 
Reclamation, 1243 N Street, Fresno, CA 93721; (559) 487-5299.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RMP/EIS is to guide future land 
resources management to ensure land and waters of the United States are 
maintained and protected as provided for under the authorizing purposes 
over a given period of time. This process is intended to establish 
uniform policy and land management guidelines that promote an organized 
use, development, and management of the Contra Loma Reservoir and the 
surrounding recreational area lands. These areas will be compatible 
with scenic surroundings and applicable Federal and State laws. An RMP 
incorporates into one document all the information pertinent to the 
future guidance of a management area and may serve as the basis for 
future resource decision making for the management area. The RMP is to 
chart the biological, physical, and social condition that Reclamation 
desires to see once all the RMP management actions have been 
implemented. In addition, the RMP provides sufficient detailed ways to 
efficiently and equitably provide recreational opportunities to meet 
public demand within its intended planning lifespan.
    This RMP/EIS will be used to develop an integrated document that 
fulfills the requirements of an RMP and an EIS for the Contra Loma 
Reservoir and Recreation Area, Resource Management Plan/Environmental 
Impact Statement.
