Withdrawal of Notice of Intent for the Environmental Impact 
Statement Process for the Delta Wetlands Project in San Joaquin and 
Contra Costa Counties, California.

AGENCY: Department of the Army; Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA), on February 28, 2013, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), 
Sacramento District, initiated the Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) process to evaluate the effects of the proposed 
development of two Reservoir Islands (Bacon Island and Webb Tract) and 
to assist the Corps in deciding whether to approve Delta Wetlands 
Properties' application under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. On 
July 25, 2016, the applicant for the proposed project withdrew their 
application for a Department of the Army Permit. Therefore, the Corps 
is terminating the EIS process, and is issuing this Notice of Intent to 
withdraw the February 28, 2013, Notice of Intent to Prepare an SEIS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about the proposed action 
and this Notice of Intent can be answered by Mr. Zachary Simmons at 
916-557-6746, or email at [email protected]. Please 
refer to identification number SPK-1901-9804.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps issued a Department of the Army 
Permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act on June 26, 2002, 
expiring on December 31, 2007. The applicant applied for a new 
Department of the Army Permit to fill approximately 2,156 acres of 
waters of the United States, including wetlands, to implement the 
project. Due to potentially significant environmental effects 
associated with the proposed action, on February 28, 2013, the Corps 
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare a Supplemental EIS (78 FR 13643). 
Since publishing the Notice of Intent, the applicant has sold the 
properties and withdrawn their permit application. As such, the Corps 
is terminating the EIS process, in accordance with Corps regulations at 
33 CFR part 230, Appendix C(2) and 33 CFR part 325, Appendix (8)(g).

    Dated: January 18, 2017.
