EPA objected to the proposed action given the potential significant adverse impacts associated with the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout recovery program. EPA also recommended that a new alternative which combines a reduced storage pool and increased water conservation be evaluated in the Final EIS. ERP No. D-DOI-K39053-CA Rating EC2, San Joaquin River Agreement Project, Implementation of the Meeting Flow Objectives for 1999--2010, Vernalis Adaptive Management Plan, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Madera, Merced, Fresno and Tuolume Counties, CA. Summary: EPA supported the project, as long as it will be implemented in a manner that does not degrade existing conditions or limit future management options. EPA expressed concerns regarding impacts to water quality, groundwater, and riparian habitat and requested additional information on these issues be included in the FEIS. EPA will continue to participate in implementation of the plan and a long-term fishery management program for the San Joaquin River. ERP No. D-FAA-B51021-MA Rating EC2, Provincetown Municipal Airport Safety and Operational Enhancement Project, Improvements (1) Firefighter Equipment Garage; (2) General Aviation Parking Apron Expansion; (3) Runaway Safety Areas, and (4) a Runaway Extension, COE Section 404 Permit, Cape Cod National Seashore, Barnstable County, MA. Summary: EPA expressed environmental concerns that some alternatives considered in the DEIS were not adequately evaluated and that more information should be provided about mitigation measure associated with the runway extension proposals. ERP No. D-FHW-B40084-RI Rating EC2, Western Johnston and Cranston, Improved Highway Access to the Environmental Management District, Funding and COE Section 404 Permit, Providence County, RI. Summary: EPA requested information regarding stormwater management system for the proposed project and additional information to quantify the loss of wetland functions associated with either build alternative. Based on the available information, EPA also suggested that the Scituate Avenue extension appears to be less environmentally damaging than the Comstock Parkway extension. ERP No. DS-FHW-E40700-GA Rating EC2, Harry S. Truman Parkway, Construction from the Abercon Street Extension (GA-204) to Derenne Avenue, COE Section 404 Permit and U.S. Coast Guard Permit, Chatham County, GA. Summary: EPA's review found that althought the preferred alternatives does avoid residential and commercial properties, it crosses the Vernon River floodplain and non floodplain wetlands. Bridging the entire floodplain and avoiding wetland impact is recommended.
