The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) has received a request for financial assistance from the Town of Queen Creek for a drinking water project. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public and request comments.

 

Upon review of the Environmental Assessment prepared by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for the Arizona Department of Water Resources Recommendation for the Reallocation of Non-Indian Agricultural Priority Central Arizona Project Water in Accordance with the Arizona Water Settlements Act Of 2004 Project (which includes Queen Creek’s One-time Back Charges Associated with Queen Creek NIA Allocation Project), WIFA concurs with the USBR’s November 2019 Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) that the project neither individually nor cumulatively has a significant effect on the human environment.
