California Department of Fish and Game U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chapter 1. Introduction, Purpose, and Need State and Federal Agency Sponsors SLT currently owns the project site, and is the entity responsible for implementing the proposed restoration. However, as discussed above, SLT purchased the properties with the intent to transfer title of the properties to USFWS and CDFG. Given that the transfer of lands will eventually come under their jurisdiction, the USFWS and CDFG require this document to authorize actions on refugetheir lands. Secondarily, USFWS serves as the trustee agency for federally threatened and endangered freshwater fish, plants, and wildlife under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and CDFG serves as the trustee agency for rare, threatened, and endangered fish, plants, and wildlife of the state under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). USFWS and CDFG are thus tasked with issuing permits and approvals related to the preservation of protected species and habitats within the project area. Specific permits and approvals that may be required by USFWS and CDFG, as well as other applicable agencies, are included in Table 1-1 in the “List of Local, State, and Federal Permits” section below. In addition to the project sponsors, 2 cooperating federal agencies participated in the development and review of this EIR/EIS, and may use this document to support their discretionary decisions (e.g., granting permits, providing grant funding): • United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Overview of the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Environmental Quality Act When a project 2 is subject to review under both NEPA and CEQA, state and local agencies are encouraged to cooperate with federal agencies in the environmental review process and to prepare a joint environmental document. The CDFG and the USFWS have determined that the Project could significantly affect the environment and have therefore prepared this joint environmental impact report/environmental impact statement (EI/EIR). 2 The term project used in this EIS/EIR refers explicitly to the term as defined under CEQ’s regulations for NEPA and the State CEQA Guidelines: “the entirety of an action which has a potential for resulting in a physical change in the environment.” Sears Point Wetland and Watershed Restoration Project Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement 1-6 April 2012
