SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Bureau of Reclamation has released for review an Environmental Assessment to fund a portion of the Central California Irrigation District Amaral System Improvements Project.
Reclamation would provide funds to CCID for the project through a Bay-Delta Restoration Program: CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant. The proposed project would capture agricultural spill and tailwater, and pump the water into a new regulating reservoir where it can be reincorporated back into CCID’s irrigation system.
The proposed project is located near Newman in Stanislaus County, California, and is estimated to save up to 487 acre-feet per year.
The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, which is available online at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=19461. If you encounter problems accessing the document, please call 916-978-5100 (TTY 800-877-8339) or email mppublicaffairs@usbr.gov.
