The International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico (USIBWC) has announced the availability of an amended Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for aquatic habitat restoration in the Rio Grande Canalization Project. This document evaluates the proposed restoration of aquatic and riparian habitats at various sites along the Rio Grande, including plans for invasive vegetation removal and native planting. The USIBWC has identified five preferred project sites to receive restoration efforts. Public comments on the EA will be accepted for 30 days, and all feedback may be publicized, including personal information.
Simple Explanation
The US-Mexico Border Commission is planning to make areas near the Rio Grande river nicer for plants and animals by fixing habitats and getting rid of plants that shouldn't be there. They want people to tell them if they think this plan is okay or if the plan might hurt the environment.
