Summary: In accordance with, and as required by, Section 3404(c) of the CVPIA, Reclamation proposes to execute eight interim renewal contracts beginning March 1, 2016. These eight interim renewal contracts would be renewed for a two-year period from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2018. In the event a new long-term renewal contract for water service is executed, the interim renewal contract then-in-effect would be superseded by the long-term renewal contract. Reclamation has prepared the Draft Environmental Assessment to determine the site specific environmental effects of any actions resulting from the execution of these eight interim renewal contracts. Reclamation, has determined that the renewal of eight Central Valley Project interim renewal contracts for Cross Valley Contractors and the approval of the Cross Valley Contractors? Article 5 exchange arrangements for the contract period March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2018 is not a major federal action that will significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore an environmental impact statement is not required and Reclamation is issuing a Draft Finding of No Significant Impact.
