  • Chapter 3 – Draft EIR Fish Flow Project Background and Project
    CHAPTER 3 Background and Project Description 3.1 Introduction The Sonoma County Water Agency (Water Agency) operates Lake Mendocino and Lake Sonoma by collecting water to storage in the reservoirs’ water-supply pools when water is available for collection, and by releasing water stored in these reservoirs to supplement natural flows as necessary to maintain the minimum instream flow requirements for the Russian River and Dry Creek established in the Water Agency’s water right permits by the State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB)1 Decision 1610, to meet the demands for diversions into the Water Agency’s water transmission system and to meet the needs of other Russian River water users. The Water Agency’s transmission system provides water to several municipal water suppliers, which deliver the water to their customers for residential, governmental, commercial, and industrial purposes. The Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project (Fish Flow Project) would change the minimum instream flow requirements in the Water Agency’s water right permits in a manner that will improve rearing habitats for threatened and endangered salmon, as required by the National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Russian River Biological Opinion (Russian River Biological Opinion) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s2 (CDFW) Consistency Determination, add some additional authorized points of diversion, extend the deadlines for applying water to full beneficial use, and update the Water Agency’s existing water rights to reflect current conditions. The Fish Flow Project is described in this chapter.3 Chapter 1, “Introduction,” provides a discussion of the intended uses of this Environmental Impact Report (EIR), including a list of agencies expected to use the EIR and list of approvals for which the EIR is anticipated to be used.
