The SEIS will analyze potential environmental impacts associated with changes to the Proposed Action analyzed in the 2023 EIS.

This SEIS is being prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 United States Code 4321 et seq.), as amended by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, the 2026 Department of War and the 2026 DAF NEPA Implementing Procedures. DAF is the lead agency for the Proposed Action. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency will be invited to participate as Cooperating Agencies. DAF will consult with, and obtain the comments of, federally recognized Native American Tribes and federal agencies that have jurisdiction by law or special expertise related to the environmental analysis.
