SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released a Draft Environmental Assessment and a Finding of No Significant Impact for the execution of a Warren Act contract for the storage and conveyance of non-Central Valley Project water to facilitate a water transfer from Placer County Water Agency to Westlands Water District.
Reclamation proposes to enter into a one-year Warren Act contract with WWD for the storage and conveyance through federal facilities of up to 20,000 acre-feet of the non-CVP water. The proposed action would help alleviate water supply shortages within WWD.
