“This is another opportunity for us to work with our community partners in Santa Clara and improve infrastructure, including critical water lines and road improvements resulting in increased public safety,” said Bureau of Land Management (BLM) St. George Field Manager Keith Rigtrup.
The proposal would amend the city’s current right-of-way to add more water lines. In 2007, the BLM authorized a ROW grant to Santa Clara City for construction and long-term operation of a one million gallon water storage tank, a buried 20-inch water mainline with adjacent powerline, and access road to support the city's municipal water system.
The BLM’s St. George Field Office prepared the Draft Environmental Assessment of the Santa Clara City South Hills Right-of-Way Amendment that is available for a 30-day public review and comment period at https://go.usa.gov/x7mBN.
Written comments will be accepted by letter or email until Dec. 24, 2020. Please note that the most useful comments are specific and contain new technical or scientific information relevant to the proposed action. Comments which contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process. Please reference “Santa Clara ROW Comment” when submitting comments.
Written comments may be mailed, emailed, or submitted through ePlanning.
