An Environmental Impact Statement or Environmental Assessment may be required depending on the nature of the proposal and its impact on the environment. Summit and Walker Lakes Preapplication Coordination: Although it is not mandatory, Reclamation strongly encourages offerors to submit a pre-proposal to eliminate the possibility of submitting a full proposal that would not be considered for award. The pre-proposal should describe 1) how the proposal will provide water to the terminal lake, 2) the quantity of water anticipated to be provided, 3) the associated estimated cost, 4) potential environmental impacts, 5) state, local and other permits or approvals needed to implement the proposal. Pyramid Lake Preapplication Coordination: On a periodic basis, a pre-proposal solicitation announcement is issued by Reclamation; the initial solicitation occurred in FY05. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372.

For Summit Lake, Reclamation will only accept proposals from the Summit Lake Paiute Tribe, since the lake is entirely within the reservation boundaries and any proposal affecting the lake would need the consent of the Tribe. For Walker Lake, Reclamation will accept applications after the applicant provides enough preapplication information to Reclamation to assure that the proposed work will provide water to Walker Lake, the associated cost is reasonable, and it is likely Reclamation can satisfy its federal Indian trust, endangered species, environmental, and other responsibilities. For Pyramid Lake, a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued periodically by Reclamation. Discretionary funding opportunities will be posted on Grants.gov. Submission of a complete technical proposal and a project budget proposal in accordance with the instructions in the RFP is mandatory. In addition, applicants must submit all applicable SF424 forms, which are referenced in the RFP. </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD valign="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD valign="TOP"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <BR> <TABLE border="0" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2> <TR> <TD valign="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD valign="TOP">Award Procedure</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD valign="TOP">For Summit Lake and Walker Lake, proposals are evaluated using a merit-based review process.
