| Description | The SDEIS considers proposals to improve water supply reliability, including a floating pumping plant alternative at the Kachess reservoir. The original DEIS for the projects was issued in 2015. Following public input, Reclamation and Ecology determined a supplemental environmental review was required for the KDRPP and KKC projects. In 2013, Reclamation and Ecology published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare the KDRPP and KKC draft EIS (DEIS), followed by a joint National Environmental Policy Act and State Environmental Policy Act scoping process. The SDEIS evaluates seven alternatives: Alternative 1 – No Action Alternative 2 – KDRPP East Shore Pumping Plant Alternative 3 – KDRPP South Pumping Plant Alternative 4 – KDRPP Floating Pumping Plant Alternative 5A – KDRPP East Shore Pumping Plant with KKC North Tunnel Alignment Alternative 5B – KDRPP South Shore Pumping Plant with KKC North Tunnel Alignment Alternative 5C – KDRPP Floating Pumping Plant with KKC North Tunnel Alignment The purpose of these projects is to restore and enhance instream flows and aquatic habitat for fish, improve water supply reliability during drought years, improve the ability of water managers to respond and adapt to potential changing hydrology, and contribute to the vitality of the regional economy and riverine environment in the Yakima River Basin. |
