Contra Costa Water District's Future Use and Operation of Contra Loma Reservoir Project, Contra Costa County CA

الملخص

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (as amended) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) prepared a joint FEIR/FEIS for CCWD's Future Use and Operation of Contra Loma Reservoir Project. In 1997, the California State Department of Health Services (DOHS) issued a compliance order to CCWD requiring either that recreational body contact activities in Contra Loma Reservoir (Reservoir) cease, or that CCWD stop using the Reservoir for domestic water supply storage. The proposed action is to continue to use the Reservoir for its historic domestic water supply purposes and to construct a separate swimming lagoon within the existing Reservoir footprint to allow swimming and wading to continue. Action taken by Reclamation would allow CCWD to construct the swimming lagoon on lands owned by the United States at the Reservoir.
