Boise River Basin Feasibility Study
Bureau of Reclamation has completed a Draft EIS for the Boise River Basin Feasibility Study. The USFS is a cooperating agency. To accomplish this project the USFS would need to modify a Forest Roads and Trails Act Easement. Bureau of Reclamation is pausing the NEPA process until further design can be conducted to help inform elements of the proposed action. The project is anticipated to be paused until the later part of 2022.
