  • SWT-0-14659, Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir (LBCR) Draft Environmental Impact Statement

    Expiration date: 4/21/2015

    This public notice for notice of availability for a Draft EIS pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, to analyze the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects associated with the proposal. The purpose of LBCR is to provide the NTMWD with approximately 126,200 acre-feet/year (AFY) of new reliable municipal water supply annually, which will meet a portion of the applicant’s reasonably projected future additional water supply needs. Up to 175,000 AFY of water would be diverted from the LBCR, with an estimated firm yield of 126,200 AFY, and transported for treatment at the new WTP and eventual delivery to member cities and direct customers in NTMWDs service area, which includes all or portions of Collin, Dallas, Denton, Fannin, Hopkins, Hunt, Kaufman, Rains, and Rockwall Counties in northern Texas. This project is one among several large projects that NTMWD would have to construct and bring online over the coming decades to meet projected population growth and increasing water demand within its service area northeast of Dallas, Texas.
