Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Criteria for Evaluating Water Conservation Plans

To meet the requirements of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) developed and published the Criteria for Evaluating Water Conservation Plans (Criteria) dated April 30, 1993. Using this Criteria, Reclamation evaluated the adequacy of all water conservation plans developed by project contractors, including those required by the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982. The Criteria was developed and the plans evaluated for the purpose of promoting the most efficient water use reasonably achievable by Central Valley Project (CVP) contractors. Reclamation made a commitment (stated within the Criteria) to publish a notice of its draft determination on the adequacy of each CVP contractor's water conservation plan in the Federal Register and to allow the public a minimum of 30 days to comment on its preliminary determinations. This program is on-going; an updated list will be published to recognize districts as plans are revised to meet the Criteria.
