Reclamation Managing Water in the West: Finding of No Significant Impact. Anderson Ranch Dam Security Enhancement Project
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) that evaluates the environmental effects of Reclamation's proposed Anderson Ranch Dam Security Enhancement Project. The purpose of the project is to address security vulnerabilities at Anderson Ranch Dam. Corrective action is needed because the darn is vulnerable to explosives that could be carried by a motor vehicle traveling on Anderson Dam Road across the dam crest. The proposed action is an interim measure until a final dam safety solution is determined. Anderson Ranch Dam is located 28 miles northeast of the City of Mountain Home in Elmore County, Idaho. The dam is a zoned-earthfill embankment that impounds Anderson Ranch Reservoir, with a crest length of 1,350 feet. Anderson Dam Road crosses the dam and serves as a main access to the west side of the reservoir, the South Fork of the Boise River, and areas north and east of the reservoir, including the town of Prairie and the Trinity Mountains. The proposed interim security enhancement project focuses on the section of the access road that crosses the crest of the embankment.
