<br />Executive Summary <br /> <br />1 A scoping swnmary report was prepared to provide a synopsis of the scoping process <br />2 conducted for the proposed action. The scoping swnmary report identifies efforts made to <br />3 notify interested agencies, organizations, and individuals about the proposed action and to <br />4 obtain input from those entities regarding the range of alternatives to be evaluated and the <br />5 issues to be addressed in the EIS. The report also presents the major points made in the public <br />6 comments received during the scoping process. The scoping summary report can be obtained <br />7 from Reclamation upon request. <br /> <br />8 Summary of Potential Impacts <br /> <br />9 The potential impacts of the execution of the IA, Adoption of the lOP, and Implementation of <br />10 Biological .Conservation Measures are evaluated for the following resources in this EIS: <br />11 Hydrology/Water Quality/Water Supply, Biological Resources, Hydroelectric Power, Land <br />12 Use, Recreational Resources, Agricultural Resources, Socioeconomics, Environmental Justice, <br />13 Cultural Resources, Tribal Resources, Air Quality, and Transboundarylmpacts. Based on a <br />14 detailed resource-specific analysis, Reclamation has determined that implementation of the <br />15 proposed action would result in negligible impacts to the following resource areas: geology, <br />16 soils and mineral resources, noise, aesthetics, and public services. Therefore, these resource <br />17 areas are not specifically addressed in this EIS. However, to the extent that an aspect of any of <br />18 these resource areas may impact another resource, discussion has been incorporated, <br /> <br />19 Table E5-1 swnmarizes, by resource area, the potential impacts for each component of the <br />20 proposed action. <br />21 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />J <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />lA, lOP, and Related Federal Actions ElS <br /> <br />DElS - January 2002 <br /> <br />E5-9 <br /> <br />- <br />
