The <br />purpose of such an EIS is primarily to analyze less cost'ly, less environ- <br />mentally damaging alternatives and to discuss various options for the use <br />of the developed water. EPA recommends the Bureau complete such an EIS <br />according to the December, 1977 draft regulations of CEQ which encourages <br />lead agencies to prepare EIS's that are succinct and issue-oriented. <br />EPA sugges ts that thi s EIS coul d be prepared concurrently wi th 1 i mited <br />canal and lateral lining on a demonstration basis to dete!rmine the cost- <br />effectiveness of such construction. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to review this document. My staff will <br />arrange a time and location to discuss these cornnents and their resolution. <br /> <br />Ch:Yk <br /> <br />Alan Merson <br />Regional Administrator <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />~--,,---- .- . ------- <br /> <br />" <br />
