DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Long-Term Miscellaneous Purposes
Contract, Eddy County, NM
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability and
Notice of Public Meeting for the Long-
Term Miscellaneous Purposes Contract
Draft Environmental Impact Statement,
Eddy County, New Mexico.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, the Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation) and the New
PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
Mexico Interstate Stream Commission
(NMISC), as joint lead agencies, have
prepared a draft environmental impact
statement (DEIS) on the execution of a
long-term contract based upon the 1920
Sale of Water for Miscellaneous
Purposes Act (long-term miscellaneous
purposes contract) with the Carlsbad
Irrigation District (CID), New Mexico,
and the subsequent conversion and
delivery of the full amount of irrigation
water addressed in the contract and any
related contracts. Reclamation is the
lead federal agency and the NMISC is a
joint lead agency for NEPA compliance
on the proposed federal action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of Reclamation’s proposed
federal action is to allow the NMISC to
use Carlsbad Project water (Project
water) for purposes other than
irrigation, specifically for delivery to
Texas. As a member of CID, the NMISC
needs to use Project water for purposes
other than irrigation to maintain long-
term compliance with the Pecos River
Compact and the United States Supreme
Court Amended Decree in Texas v. New
Mexico. Project water is available for
lease to the NMISC under a Contingent
Water Contract where: (1) Willing
lessors temporarily forego irrigation of
their lands in an irrigation season
(fallowed land water) or (2) allotted
water is not delivered to farms by
October 31 of a given year (undelivered
allotment water). The long-term
miscellaneous purposes contract would
replace a 1999 short-term contract that
Reclamation currently has with the CID
that allows the NMISC to use Project
water for miscellaneous purposes.
Between 1987 and the present, New
Mexico has satisfied its water delivery
obligations to Texas under the Pecos
River Compact (Compact) and Amended
Decree. In some years, New Mexico has
over-delivered water to the state line
and in other years it has under-
delivered. New Mexico has been able to
satisfy its Compact obligations in large
part because of its leasing program and
the fallowing of irrigated land within
CID. The leasing program within CID
has operated under an existing short-
term miscellaneous purposes contract
since 1992, which allows irrigation
water to be delivered to the state line on
behalf of the NMISC.
The State of New Mexico ex rel. the
State Engineer, NMISC, Reclamation,
CID, and the Pecos Valley Artesian
Conservancy District entered into a
Settlement Agreement on March 25,
2003, that resolves litigation,
implements a plan to ensure delivery of
water to the CID and New Mexico-Texas
state line, and settles many water
management issues on the Pecos River.
An ad hoc committee comprised of
water users in the Pecos River Basin was
formed to develop a solution for long-
term compliance with the Pecos River
erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES
Compact and Amended Decree,
resulting in the Settlement Agreement.
In addition, the implementation of the
Settlement Agreement is contingent
upon fulfilling certain requirements,
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:02 Jan 11, 2006 Jkt 208001
including the execution of a long-term
miscellaneous purposes contract.
On February 28, 2003, Reclamation
published a notice in the Federal
Register stating plans to execute a
contract with the CID that would allow
the NMISC to use water allotted for up
to 6,000 acres, or other available Project
water, for purposes other than irrigation.
These 6,000 acres, plus 164 acres that
the NMISC currently owns within the
boundaries of the CID, would be
fallowed under this contract. Execution
of this contract would not preclude
future use of the water for irrigation
purposes on lands owned by the
NMISC. The Commissioner of
Reclamation has granted approval to
negotiate and execute a long-term
miscellaneous purposes contract,
pursuant to authority provided by the
Sale of Water for Miscellaneous
Purposes Act of February 25, 1920,
whereby the NMISC would be limited to
using or leasing a maximum of 50,000
acre-feet of Project water per year.
The two alternatives analyzed in the
draft EIS are the Proposed Action
Alternative which is the execution of a
long-term miscellaneous purposes
contract and approval of any related
third-party contracts, and the No Action
Alternative. The draft EIS assesses the
potential effects that the two
alternatives may have on biological,
hydrologic, and cultural resources;
social and economic settings; and
Indian trust assets as well as any
potential disproportionate effects on
minority or low-income communities
(environmental justice). The draft EIS
also evaluates the effects of the
alternatives on the State of New
Mexico’s ability to meet annual state
line delivery obligations associated with
the Pecos River Compact and Amended
Decree.
After the 60-day waiting period,
Reclamation will complete a final
environmental impact statement (FEIS).
Responses to comments received from
organizations and individuals on the
DEIS will be addressed in the FEIS.
Public Disclosure
Our practice is to make comments,
including names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold their home
address from public disclosure, which
we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. There also may be circumstances in
which we would withhold a
respondent’s identity from public
disclosure, as allowable by law. If you
wish us to withhold your name and/or
address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
2065
comment. We will make all submissions
from organizations or businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves
as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public disclosure in their entirety.

notice of the scheduling of full reviews
pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the

(the Act) to determine whether
revocation of the countervailing duty

exercise its authority to extend the
review period by up to 90 days pursuant
