<br />January 7, 2004 <br />Limitrophe Division Below Morelos Dam <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />The IBWC has initiated the development of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to address the <br />work necessary to develop and undertake a boundary preservation project within the Limitrophe <br />section of the Colorado River. The flood events of 1983 and 1993 have changed the course of the <br />river and deposited approximately 10 million cubic yards of material within the first 5.5 miles ofthe <br />river below Morelos Dam, affecting the carrying capacity of the river and contributing to higher <br />groundwater levels in the Yuma Valley. The EIS will identify the best U.S./Mexico alternative to be <br />undertaken for the proposed project. <br /> <br />Jan 3, 2005 <br /> <br />Record of Decision <br /> <br /> <br />The following schedule is proposed for the lBWC EIS. <br /> <br />Feb 3, 1999 <br /> <br />Meeting with cooperators and resource agencies <br /> <br />May 21,1999 <br /> <br />Notice of Intent <br /> <br />Jun 9, 1999 <br /> <br />Public scoping meeting <br /> <br />Aug 15, 2000 <br /> <br />Development of maps for boundary alignments and signIficant <br />habitat <br /> <br />Dec 7, 2001 <br /> <br />Bi-national meeting on proposed alignments and land use and <br />environmental data from Mexico <br /> <br />Jan 22, 2002 <br /> <br />Presentation to all Resource agencies on preliminary alignment <br />alternatives/plan <br /> <br />July 8, 2004 <br /> <br />Notice of availability of draft EIS in Federal Register <br /> <br />July 27, 2004 <br /> <br />Public meeting on draft EIS <br /> <br />Nov 16, 2004 <br /> <br />File final EIS <br />
