Proposed Sacramento County Water Agency and San Juan Water District Central Valley Project Water Service Contracts Under Public Law 101-514, Sacramento County, California

Resumo

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Policy Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the Sacramento County Water Agency (Agency) as lead agencies have prepared a joint FEIS/FEIR for the proposed Agency and San Juan Water District (District) Central Valley Project water service contracts for use in Sacramento County, California, and construction and operation of a temperature control device (TCD) on the water supply intake at Folsom Dam. Reclamation and the Agency prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/DEIR) for the proposed contracts in July 1997. The Agency sent out a recirculated DEIR in August 1998 for a 45-day review. The purpose of the FEIS/FEIR is to address the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts resulting from the execution of water service contracts with the Agency and the District, and from the TCD. The FEIS/FEIR includes all comments received on the DEIS/DEIR (including the recirculated DEIR) and responses to those comments.
