For Release: May 13, 2010
The Bureau of Reclamation is convening four stakeholder workshops over the course of 4 months in Spring/Summer 2010 on the Central Valley Project (CVP) draft Municipal & Industrial (M&I) Water Shortage Policy (WSP). The purpose of the workshops is to discuss and receive input from CVP water contractors, local and regional agencies, interest groups, and others on the existing draft M&I WSP and to formulate a plan to move forward on the potential modification of the existing policy or the development of a new policy.
All four workshops will be held in the Martinique Room at the Red Lion Hotel, 1401 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA 95815 (Map). The workshops are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day on:
Workshop 1, Wednesday, May 26
Workshop 2, Wednesday, June 23
Workshop 3, Tuesday, July 20
Workshop 4, Thursday, August 19
The public is invited to attend any or all sessions and will have the opportunity to comment. Participation instructions will be provided at the beginning of the session, along with the pertinent documents. Information about the workshops is available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvp/mandi. The M&I WSP project website will be updated within 3 weeks following each workshop with information from the previous workshop and materials for pending workshops.
