Long-Term Water Transfer
The Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) and the San Luis & Delta-
Mendota Water Authority propose to
prepare a joint EIS/EIR to analyze the
effects of water transfers from water
agencies in northern California to water
agencies south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) and in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
The EIS/EIR will
address transfers of Central Valley
Project (CVP) and non-CVP water supplies that require use of CVP or State
Water Project (SWP) facilities to convey
the transferred water. Water transfers
would occur through various methods,
including, but not limited to,
groundwater substitution and cropland
idling, and would include individual
and multiyear transfers from 2015
through 2024.
Public Draft EIS/EIR Released on September 30, 2014. Comments are due December 1, 2014.
