Notice of Availability of the Final Resource Management Plan and 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Contra Loma Reservoir and 
Recreation Area, Antioch, CA--Central Valley Project

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared a Final 
Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS) 
for the 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.

DATES: Reclamation will not make a decision on the proposed action 
until at least 30 days after release of the Final RMP/EIS. After the 
30-day waiting period, Reclamation will complete a Record of Decision 
(ROD). The ROD will state the action that will be implemented and will 
discuss all factors leading to the decision.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the Final RMP/EIS should be sent to Mr. 
David Woolley, Bureau of Reclamation, 1243 N Street, SCC-450, Fresno, 
California, 93720; or via email to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Woolley, Bureau of 
Reclamation, at the above address; via email at [email protected]; or 
at (559) 487-5049. The Final RMP/EIS will be available from the 
following Web site: http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=6396. See the 
Supplementary Information section for locations where copies of the 
Final RMP/EIS are available for public review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final RMP/EIS will 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, but not limited 
to, 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.
    A Notice of Availability of the Draft EIS/EIR was published in the 
Federal Register on May 2, 2014 (79 FR 25151). The comment period on 
the Draft RMP/EIS ended on July 1, 2014. The Final RMP/EIS contains
