Milltown Hill Project
Environmental Impact Statement

Douglas County, Oregon has recently requested that its Small Reclamation Projects Act loan and grant application for the proposed Milltown Hill Dam Project be re-activated. A final environmental impact statement (EIS) and record of decision (ROD) approving the project were completed in 1992. Because of the length of time since the ROD was signed, and changes in the information contained in the 1992 EIS, a supplemental EIS will be prepared.

Information in the 1992 EIS will be evaluated to determine if it still adequately describes the affected environment and environmental consequences of the project and the information will be updated and supplemented as needed. Reclamation issued a Notice of Intent to develop a supplemental EIS in the Federal Register on July 20, 2006 (71 FR 41236).

In addition to the 1992 EIS, ROD, and the current scoping letter requesting comments on the re-initiation of the project, other documents related to this project will be posted to the site as they become available. This will include the scoping summary which identifies issues raised in the scoping letter, and the draft and final supplemental EIS and ROD.
