In February 2008, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) which documented the impact of the Southern Delivery System (SDS) on human and environmental resources in the Arkansas River Basin. Based on the findings of the DEIS and public input, Reclamation conducted additional analysis of the environmental implications of the SDS project. The information was published in a Supplemental Information Report (SIR) on October 3, 2008.
