Project Details
Title: Delta Smelt Fall Outflow 2017
Summary: Reclamation submitted a request to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to modify the implementation of the 2008 Biological Opinion (BO) on the Coordinated Long-Term Operation (LTO) of the Central Valley Project (CVP) and State Water Project (SWP) under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The request would allow the operation of the CVP and SWP such that the monthly average position of the fall outflow requirement (Fall X2) is no more eastward than 81 km from the Golden Gate Bridge. The Environmental Assessment evaluates the potential change to the operation of the CVP and SWP in the month of October in 2017. The EA is being tiered off Reclamation's EIS on the LTO of the CVP and SWP, found here: https://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=21883
