preliminary draft EIS were prepared in the 1970s. In 1980, prior to 
public review of the EIS, the local sponsor decided not to continue 
sponsoring the project. In 2000, the River Valley Regional Water 
District identified themselves as a willing sponsor and requested that 
the Corps of Engineers reevaluate the project. The proposed Pine
