For Release: April 20, 2015
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Bureau of Reclamation has released for public review the Draft Environmental Assessment for the proposed grant to Ivanhoe Irrigation District to partially fund an irrigation control system in Tulare County, Calif.
Under the proposed action, Reclamation would award Ivanhoe Irrigation District with a $284,000 WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grant to support the acquisition and installation of supervisory control and data acquisition equipment, construction of a new water control structure, above ground low-flow bypasses, and replacement of an intertie receiving structure. The proposed action would increase the district’s water supply reliability and decrease the amount of groundwater currently extracted to meet the district’s water supply needs.
The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and may be viewed at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=21361.
