Summary: | 1. Water Year 2010 EA: Reclamation temporarily changed Friant Dam operations in Water Year (WY) 2010 to release Interim Flows from Friant Dam into the San Joaquin River and potentially downstream to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta), as specified in the Stipulation of Settlement in NRDC et al. v. Kirk Rodgers et al., and as part of the SJRRP. Interim Flows would be constrained by existing channel capacity, anticipated seepage, future agreements with downstream agencies, entities, and landowners, and the capacity of diversions, as well as water supply demand at the possible diversion locations. The purpose of the WY 2010 Interim Flows Project is to implement provisions of the Settlement related to Interim Flows and to collect relevant data to guide future releases of Interim Flows and Restoration Flows under the SJRRP.*********************** 2. Water Year 2011 EA: This Supplemental EA described and analyzed the effects of an additional year of Interim Flows for WY 2011. The Supplemental EA includes a review of the WY 2010 Final EA/IS, synthesizes discussions/results where conditions have not changed, and evaluates potential impacts due to implementation of WY 2011 Interim Flows in consideration of changed conditions or new data/information that have occurred.************************** 3. Water Year 2012 EA: The purpose of this Supplemental EA is to proceed with the continuation of activities necessary to convey the flows in the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the Delta, and to continue data collection and monitoring activities during Interim Flow releases consistent with the provisions and conditions described in the WY 2010 Interim Flows Final EA/IS and the Supplemental WY 2011 Interim Flows Final EA. |
