SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has prepared for public review an Environmental Assessment for system modernization and real-time monitoring and control for a project by the Garden Highway Mutual Water Company (Company).
Reclamation proposes to provide the Company with CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant funds to modernize the SAG Weir; integrate a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system; and use real-time flow measurement, monitoring, and control of system flows. The proposed project would conserve water by reducing operational spillage and tailwater through a combination of infrastructure improvements and implementation of real-time flow monitoring and diversion control.
The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and is available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=25837. If you encounter problems accessing the document, please call 916-978-5100 (TTY 800-877-8339) or email mppublicaffairs@usbr.gov.
