The mission of the Bureau of Reclamation is to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. Executive Summary Executive Summary The San Luis Low Point Improvement Project (SLLPIP) Draft Feasibility Report is a joint study by the United States (U.S.) Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), in cooperation with the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD). The purpose of the feasibility report is to determine the potential type and extent of Federal and regional interest in a potential project to address water supply reliability and schedule certainty issues for SCVWD associated with low water levels in San Luis Reservoir. The SLLPIP alternatives analyzed in this Draft Feasibility Report would help to maintain a high quality, reliable, and cost-effective water supply for SCVWD, and would ensure that they receive their annual Central Valley Project (CVP) contract allocations at the time needed to meet their existing water supply commitments.

    3. Planning Influences 3 Planning Influences This chapter presents a description of previous planning documents for the Plan Area as well as a summary of system-wide and regional planning influences. 3.1 Previous Plans When approved, the management direction and actions set forth in this Plan will replace those from a series of previous planning documents dating from 1962 to 1985. These documents are summarized as follows, and specific actions proposed in each document are described in Appendix A, Table A-1. • Recreation Land Use and Acquisition Plan, San Luis Reservoir and Forebay (DWR, June 1962). In response to projected increases in recreational demands (to exceed 4 million visitor-days annually by 2020), the report recommended the acquisition of 13 recreation areas totaling 3,308 acres, 768 acres of which would be specifically for recreation, and described potential uses for each area. The report also recommended the acquisition of a 300-foot-wide strip of land bordering the entire perimeter of the reservoir and forebay to ensure unhindered use of the shoreline and reservoir surface for recreation. Once acquired, recreational lands considered for leasing were to be protected for future recreational use. The plan was coordinated with the Division of Beaches and Parks, DFW, and Reclamation. • San Luis Reservoir and Forebay Recreation Development Plan (DWR, May 1965). This report to the State legislature presented a plan for recreational development to support budget requests to construct initial facilities. The report also provided future recreation projections from 1960 through 2020. • Los Banos Creek Reservoir Recreation Development Plan (CSP Division of Beaches and Parks, November 1966, revised December 1969).
