Reclamation coordinated and consulted with these cooperating agencies concurrently with
the development of alternatives and preparation of the EIS. Activities with the cooperating
agencies included regularly meeting with them, providing status reports concerning
progress, convening project planning meetings, arranging conference calls, and facilitating
regular interaction among the parties.
Reclamation and the Service have conferenced/consulted, both formally and informally,
regarding potential impacts to protected species which may occur as a result of implementa-
tion of the Preferred Alternative. Under the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act, Reclamation has consulted with interested and concerned Indian Tribes
and Nations as part of normal Navajo Reservoir operations. As part of Reclamation's
resource management planning, Reclamation will develop and implement a Cultural
Resource Management Plan for the Navajo Reservoir area.
