Description:

The Boise River Basin Feasibility Study EIS was un-paused on 4/8/2020 after an additional alternative was added. The project had been paused since 12/13/2019 due to an alternative in the EIS was found infeasible. Reclamation coordinated with our project partner/sponsor (Idaho Water Resource Board) prior to un-pausing of the project and was briefed on the updated target completion date. The delay will not have an effect on project permitting.
