Joaquin, and Sutter) are met. The proposed alternatives exercise the
provisions of several federal laws as applicable to Reclamation. Public
hearings will be held in four sessions to receive written or verbal
comments on the DEIS/DEIR from interested organizations and individuals
on the environmental impacts of the proposal. Notice of the hearings
will appear at a future date.
