For Release: November 01, 2005

The Bureau of Reclamation, the California Department of Water Resources, and the Contra Costa Water District have released the Initial Alternatives Information Report (IAIR) for the Los Vaqueros Expansion Investigation.

The IAIR is an interim planning document in the development of a Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement. The IAIR describes without-project conditions and water resources problems and opportunities, defines study objectives and constraints, screens resource management measures, describes and compares concept plans, and identifies initial alternatives. The initial alternatives will be further developed and evaluated as the investigation proceeds.

The IAIR is available online at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/vaqueros/ and http://www.lvstudies.com. For additional information or to request a copy of the report, please contact Ms. Patricia Roberson at 916-978-5074 or proberson@mp.usbr.gov.
