Welcome to Reclamation's Equus Beds ASR Project EIS Web Page!
The purpose of the Equus Beds Aquifer Recharge, Storage, and Recovery Program (ASR Project) is to provide a reliable supply of potable water to the City through the year 2050 while protecting and restoring, to the extent possible, the Equus Beds aquifer. Reclamation has been authorized to assist with funding the ASR Project, so this project must be considered under the National Environmental Policy Act, also known as NEPA. Because of the scale of the proposed ASR Project, Reclamation must complete an Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS.
This web page will be the public's connection with the NEPA process, and contains valuable information about the ASR Project. For more information about the ASR, click on the links below.
