Title: Arvin-Edison Water Storage District and Metropolitan Water District 10-year Water Transfer/Exchange Program 2013
Summary: Reclamation proposes to approve the following for Arvin-Edison Water Storage District (AEWSD) and Metropolitan Water District (MWD): 1. Groundwater Banking: MWD stores a portion of its State Water Project (SWP) supply in Central Valley Project (CVP) contractor AEWSD?s groundwater banking facilities as conditions allow. When requested, AEWSD would return previously banked SWP water to MWD. 2. Regulation Program: The Proposed Action would change the place of use and would allow AEWSD to deliver CVP water supplies to MWD and receive SWP water supplies in exchange. 3. Fall/Winter Supplies Exchange: If there are surplus CVP water supplies, AEWSD CVP water would be delivered to MWD to reduce the risk of spill and forfeiture of water. The timeframe for the contracts over this 10-year period would be from the approval date of the EA/FONSI through the remainder of the 10-year period as long as a Change of Place of Use is in place. The proposed exchanges total up to 100,000 acre-feet per year of CVP water supplies for all three program components.
