Delta-Mendota Canal/California Aqueduct Intertie (Intertie)
The Bureau of Reclamation is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Delta-Mendota Canal/California Aqueduct Intertie (Intertie). The Intertie would connect the Delta-Mendota Canal (DMC) and the California Aqueduct via a new pipeline and pumping plant. The primary purpose of the Intertie would be to allow for operation and maintenance activities at the Tracy pumping plant and fish facility, the Delta-Mendota Canal, and the O’Neill pumping plant and intake canal.
The Intertie would be used to accomplish a range of benefits, including meeting current water supply demands, maintaining and repairing Central Valley Project (CVP) Delta export and conveyance facilities, and providing operational flexibility to respond to CVP and State Water Project emergencies. The Intertie would be located in an unincorporated area of the San Joaquin Valley in Alameda County, west of the city of Tracy. The site is in a rural agricultural area that is owned by the State and Federal governments.
