East Bay Municipal Utility District Supplemental Water Supply Project

Streszczenie

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) have prepared a joint REIR/SEIS for the East Bay Municipal Utility District Supplemental Water Supply Project. Reclamation and EBMUD originally prepared a draft environmental impact report/draft environmental impact statement (DEIR/DEIS) for the proposed project in November 1997. The proposed action is for EBMUD to obtain a supplemental water supply to help reduce customer deficiencies during droughts, and provide system reliability and to allow EBMUD to use its existing contract with Reclamation for delivery of water from the American River.
