we have filed the Draft EIS with the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) for publication of their notice of availability in the 
Federal Register. The EPA notice officially starts the 45-day review 
period for this document. It is the goal of the USACE to have this 
notice published on the same date as the EPA notice. However, if that

date for comments on the Draft EIS. Comments on the Draft EIS must be 
submitted to the address below under Further Contact Information and

Draft EIS. Public notices will be posted in Santa Clara County 
libraries, and emailed and air-mailed to current stakeholder lists with

on issues that should be addressed in the Draft EIS.
    A public meeting for this Draft EIS will be held on Wednesday,

and Cultural Center, El Toro Room, 17000 Monterey Street, Morgan Hill,

channel modifications (e.g. widening and deepening), installation/
replacement grade control structures, constructing or replacing
