Interim renewal contracts are undertaken under the authority of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) to provide a "bridge" between the expiration of the original long-term water service contracts and long-term renewal of those contracts. The CVPIA allows for the repeated execution of 2-year interim renewal contracts until the long-term renewal contracts are executed.
The Draft EA/FONSI were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, and are available online at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=4817.
