Title: Volta Wells 5-Year Incremental Level 4 Groundwater Pumping and Level 2 Diversification Project
Summary: Reclamation proposes to diversify Central Valley Project Level 2 (L2) and supplement Incremental Level 4 (IL4) refuge water supplies by pumping groundwater from two groundwater wells located at the Volta Wasteway (VW). Reclamation proposes to enter into an agreement with local water districts to support the IL4 water supply groundwater pumping and L2 Exchange with a local water district (Proposed Action). The groundwater pumping is proposed as a 5-year action (May 2016 through February 2021). The Proposed Action will include monitoring well production, water quality, groundwater levels, and land subsidence. Monitoring would occur at each well location to confirm that groundwater quality is suitable for refuge use. The VW groundwater production wells would collectively produce up to 6,600 AF of groundwater of acceptable quality annually, which can be conveyed to south-of-Delta Refuges.
