Final Environmental
Document Issued for Acquisition of Additional
Water for Meeting the SAN JOAQUIN RIVER
AGREEMENT FLOW OBJECTIVES
- Notice of Intent to prepare
a joint Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report (DSEIS/EIR).
SUMMARY: The
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the San
Joaquin River Group Authority (SJRGA) are preparing
a joint DSEIS/EIR, pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), to evaluate the purchase of
up to 50,000 acre-feet of water annually during
the 2001 through 2010 water years from the SJRGA
and its members to meet a 31-day spring pulse
flow target in the San Joaquin River at Vernalis.
The spring pulse flow target in a given water
year is dependent on hydrological conditions and
is established by Vernalis Adaptive Management
Plan (VAMP) flow objectives within the San Joaquin
River Agreement (SJRA). When supplemental flows
required to meet the spring pulse flow target
exceed 110,000 acre-feet, Reclamation may purchase
up to an additional 50,000 acre-feet (i.e., above
110,000 acre-feet) to supplement the spring pulse
flows. The additional pulse flows would enter
as releases from water purveyors into the Tuolumne
and/or Merced Rivers.
