Summary: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation)has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate and disclose any potential environmental impacts associated with Reclamation?s exchange of up to 6,048 acre-feet (AF) of groundwater for up to 3,024 AF of Level 2 (L2) water with the San Luis Water District (District). This EA focuses on the potential impacts of exchanging up to 6,048 AF of groundwater developed by the District and delivered to the East Bear Creek Unit of the San Luis NWR (EBCU) for up to 3,024 AF of L2 water made available to the District. The pumped groundwater would help meet the EBCU?s L2 need as well as San Joaquin Valley Refuges? IL4 need. This proposed exchange would occur between October 2015 and May 31, 2016 and is authorized under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), specifically Sections 3406(d)(2) and 3406(b)(3). |
