NAPA, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released a Draft Environmental Assessment for the proposed water and wastewater treatment upgrades and expansion by the Napa Berryessa Resort Improvement District, located in Napa County, Calif. The District’s proposed improvements will occur in three locations at the southern end of Lake Berryessa. The project area consists of Reclamation-owned land that is either currently under permanent easement to the District or for which a land-use agreement has been requested by the District, privately owned land or land owned by the District. The total size of the “footprint” for the proposed action is approximately 12.3 acres.
The purpose of the proposed action is to grant the District a land-use agreement for the expansion of wastewater ponds and the acceptance of proposed improvements to the District’s water and wastewater systems under existing land-use agreements with Reclamation. The District’s proposed improvements will allow the District to meet the standards of regulating agencies and meet current and future needs of the customers within the District’s boundaries by increasing the reliability and efficiency of the water and wastewater systems.
