<br />Volume 2. A letter of concurrence from EPA confirming Reclamation's compliance with 404(r) <br />requirements is attached as B-3, Volume 2. The 404(b)(l) Evaluation used EPA guidelines to evaluate <br />Refined Alternatives 4 and 6. As a result of the evaluation, Reclamation found that Refined Alternative 4 <br />would comply with the requirements of the EP A guidelines. Revised Alternative 4 would have fewer <br />overall impacts to wetlands and endangered species (southwestern willow flycatcher habitat) than <br />Refined Alternative 6. <br /> <br />Pursuant to the Native American Graves Repatriation and Protection Act (NAGPRA), Reclamation has <br />consulted with interested and concerned Indian tribes. Tribal representatives included elected officials, <br />recognized traditional and religious leaders, Tribal representatives and historians, and cultural <br />committees. A NAGPRA Plan has been prepared for the ALP Project. The Plan has been prepared with <br />regard to potential ALP Project effects on Native American human remains, associated grave goods, and <br />objects of cultural patrimony. A Programmatic Agreement has also been prepared pursuant to the <br />National Historic Preservation Act. Both the Programmatic Agreement and NAGPRA Plan are included <br />in Attachment H of the FSEIS, Volume 2. In addition, a draft Historic Preservation Management Plan <br />has been prepared (see Techuical Appendix 8). <br /> <br />ES-13 <br />
