THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Office of the General Manager June 17, 2019 Mr. Steven C. Hvinden Office Chief Boulder Canyon Operations Office U.S. Bureau of Reclamation P.O. Box 61470 Boulder City, NV 89006-1470 Dear Mr. Hvinden: Metropolitan's 2019 Plan for the Creation of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus In accordance with Section 3.B.1 of the Interim Guidelines for the Operation of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, enclosed is The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's (Metropolitan) Plan for the Creation of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) During Calendar Year 2019 (Plan). On January 2, 2019, during negotiations of the Colorado River Basin States' (Basin States) Drought Contingency Plan (DCP), Metropolitan submitted a preliminary 2019 Plan. With the execution of the DCP on May 20, and pursuant to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) request, this letter rescinds and replaces the previously submitted preliminary 2019 Plan. The Plan contains new extraordinary conservation activities authorized by the DCP using Reclamation's new format. Metropolitan is seeking approval to create up to 450,000 acre-feet of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus during 2019, and this Plan would maximize California's available ICS storage. If there is unused ICS accumulation space from the other Lower Basin States, Metropolitan may also use that available capacity under the storage limits and sharing provisions of the DCP. Metropolitan's Plan demonstrates how all requirements of the Guidelines will be met in the creation of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus. 700 N. Alameda Street, Los Angeles, California 90012 • Mailing Address: Box 54153, Los Angeles, California 90054·0153 • Telephone (213) 217·6000 THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Mr. Steven C. Hvinden Page 2 June 17, 2019 Metropolitan looks forward to the Secretary of the Interior's review and approval of the plan in consultation with the Basin States. Should you have any questions regarding our Plan, please contact me at (213) 217-6520. Very truly yours, William Hasencamp Manager of Colorado River Resources TJR: rh Enclosure The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Revised Plan for the Creation of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus During Calendar Year 2019 Introduction This revised plan for the creation of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) has been prepared pursuant to the specifications outlined in Section 3.B.1 on page 40 of the Record of Decision: Colorado River Interim Guidelines for Lower Basin Shortages and the Coordinated Operations for Lake Powell and Lake Mead signed by the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) on December 13, 2007. Eight separate activities are described in this plan, the first four of which are incorporated as an exhibit to the December 13, 2007, Lower Colorado River Basin Intentionally Created Surplus Forbearance Agreement (Forbearance Agreement) among the Arizona Department of Water Resources, the Palo Verde Irrigation District, the Imperial Irrigation District, the City of Needles, the Coachella Valley Water District, The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan), the Southern Nevada Water Authority, and the Colorado River Commission of Nevada, and the remaining four are incorporated through the terms of the March 20, 2019 Lower Basin Drought Contingency Operations Plan Agreement (LBOps), Exhibit 1, Section IV.E.2 of said agreement. The potential yields of these extraordinary conservation activities for calendar year 2019 are approximately as follows: Estimated Yield (acre-feet) Activity 1: Palo Verde Irrigation District Forbearance and Fallowing Program 49,301a Activity 2: Imperial Irrigation District Water Conservation Program 110,000b Activity 3: Water Supply from Desalination 129,874c Activity 4: Water Supply from Lower Colorado Water Supply Project 10,000d Activity 5: Landscape Transformation Program 34,125e Activity 6 Indoor Water Conservation Devices 91,383f Local Resources Program Additional Groundwater Recovery Activity 7: 11,875g Projects Activity 8: Local Resources Program Recycling Projects 311,653h Total 748,211 -1- a Amount may be reduced depending upon any participating landowner’s request to reduce the area of land to be fallowed, which request may be approved or denied by Metropolitan, and the amount of water determined to be saved by the Program. b Amount may be reduced depending upon Coachella Valley Water District’s use of up to 20,000 acre-feet. c Amount may be reduced depending on actual amount of desalted water production from desalination projects within Metropolitan’s service area. d Amount may be reduced depending on actual pumping volume and the amount of water used by other Lower Colorado Water Supply Project contractors. e Amount may be reduced depending on the amount of water conserved by turf removal in Metropolitan’s service area. fAmount may be reduced depending on the actual amount of water conserved indoor in Metropolitan’s service area gAmount may be reduced depending on actual amount of water groundwater recovered within Metropolitan’s service area that is not already covered by Activity 3. h Amount may be reduced depending on the amount of water recycled in Metropolitan’s service area. From the yields of these extraordinary conservation activities, Metropolitan plans to create a total of up to 450,000 acre-feet of Extraordinary Conservation ICS during 2019, should an increase in additional creation limit be available in 2019 and the Secretary authorize Metropolitan to create additional Extraordinary Conservation ICS through application of Section IV.B. of Exhibit 1 to the LBOps. Documentation that the ICS Plan of Creation is in Conformance with any State or Agency Agreements regarding ICS While the amount of Extraordinary Conservation ICS that Metropolitan plans to create is above the limits of Extraordinary Conservation ICS that can be created and accumulated in Lake Mead by Metropolitan under the December 13, 2007, California Agreement for the Creation and Delivery of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus1 as amended, Section IV.B of Exhibit 1 to the LBOps states that “If one but not all of the Lower Division States reaches its annual Extraordinary Conservation ICS creation limit, and if there remains a desire to create additional amounts of Extraordinary Conservation ICS, the Secretary…may authorize additional Extraordinary Conservation ICS creations within the total annual limitation set forth in Section XI.G.3.B.4 of the 2007 Interim Guidelines.” The total annual limitation set forth in Section XI.G.3.B.4 of the 2007 Interim Guidelines is 625,000 acre-feet, and the amount of Extraordinary Conservation ICS that Metropolitan plans to create is within that limit. Absent the creation of Extraordinary Conservation ICS, this water would otherwise be beneficially used by Metropolitan through diversion into the Colorado River Aqueduct. The amount of Extraordinary Conservation ICS that Metropolitan may create is limited to the amount of Colorado River water that, if added to its consumptive use, would not result in an inadvertent overrun pursuant to the Bureau of Reclamation’s October 10, 2003, Inadvertent Overrun and Payback Policy. Reclamation has previously received a copy of the December 13, 2007, Agreement as amended which documents the terms and conditions for the creation and delivery of Extraordinary Conservation ICS by the California water agencies which are parties to the Agreement. 1 The parties to the California Agreement for the Creation and Delivery of Extraordinary Conservation Intentionally Created Surplus as amended are Palo Verde Irrigation District, Imperial Irrigation District, Coachella Valley Water District, the City of Needles, and Metropolitan. -2- Final Plan for the Creation of EC ICS, Calendar Year 2019 Exhibit 1 Exhibit 1 The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Palo Verde Irrigation District Forbearance and Fallowing Program ICS Category: Extraordinary conservation (EC) res Subcategory: Land fallowing Term: August 18, 2004 - July 31, 2040. Metropolitan has issued a Fallowing Call for 10,379 acres for the period from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. Metropolitan made no additional fallowing call for the period from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020. Therefore, the fallowing call for calendar year 2019 is 10,379 acres. Project Description: Under the August 18, 2004, Forbearance and Fallowing Program Agreement with the Palo Verde Irrigation District (PVID) and landowner agreements for fallowing in PVID, Metropolitan pays landowners within the Palo Verde Valley to annually fallow a portion of their land, foregoing the planting and irrigation of crops, allowing PVID to

  • ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower
    ATTACHMENTS ATTACHMENT B Dams and Reservoirs Along the Lower Colorado River This attachment to the Colorado River Interim Surplus Criteria DEIS describes the dams and reservoirs on the main stream of the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona to Morelos Dam along the international boundary with Mexico. The role that each plays in the operation of the Colorado River system is also explained. COLORADO RIVER INTERIM SURPLUS CRITERIA DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT COLORADO RIVER DAMS AND RESERVOIRS Lake Powell to Morelos Dam The following discussion summarizes the dams and reservoirs along the Colorado River from Lake Powell to the Southerly International Boundary (SIB) with Mexico and their specific roles in the operation of the Colorado River. Individual dams serve one or more specific purposes as designated in their federal construction authorizations. Such purposes are, water storage, flood control, river regulation, power generation, and water diversion to Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. The All-American Canal is included in this summary because it conveys some of the water delivered to Mexico and thereby contributes to the river system operation. The dams and reservoirs are listed in the order of their location along the river proceeding downstream from Lake Powell. Their locations are shown on the map attached to the inside of the rear cover of this report. Glen Canyon Dam – Glen Canyon Dam, which formed Lake Powell, is a principal part of the Colorado River Storage Project. It is a concrete arch dam 710 feet high and 1,560 feet wide. The maximum generating discharge capacity is 33,200 cfs which may be augmented by an additional 15,000 cfs through the river outlet works.

  • Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex
    Appendix J Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex Appendix J: Cultural Setting - Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex The following sections describe the cultural setting in and around the two refuges that constitute the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Complex (NWRC) - Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. The cultural resources associated with these Refuges may include archaeological and historic sites, buildings, structures, and/or objects. Both the Imperial Valley and the Coachella Valley contain rich archaeological records. Some portions of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC have previously been inventoried for cultural resources, while substantial additional areas have not yet been examined. Seventy-seven prehistoric and historic sites, features, or isolated finds have been documented on or within a 0.5- mile buffer of the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR and Coachella Valley NWR. Cultural History The outline of Colorado Desert culture history largely follows a summary by Jerry Schaefer (2006). It is founded on the pioneering work of Malcolm J. Rogers in many parts of the Colorado and Sonoran deserts (Rogers 1939, Rogers 1945, Rogers 1966). Since then, several overviews and syntheses have been prepared, with each succeeding effort drawing on the previous studies and adding new data and interpretations (Crabtree 1981, Schaefer 1994a, Schaefer and Laylander 2007, Wallace 1962, Warren 1984, Wilke 1976). The information presented here was compiled by ASM Affiliates in 2009 for the Service as part of Cultural Resources Review for the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWRC. Four successive periods, each with distinctive cultural patterns, may be defined for the prehistoric Colorado Desert, extending back in time over a period of at least 12,000 years.

  • Interview with Gerald Davisson Colorado River Water Users Association
    Interview with Gerald Davisson Colorado River Water Users Association Q: Alright, this is February the 26th, 2007. We’re at the Palo Verde Irrigation District in Blythe, California, and our subject today is Gerry Davisson, who retired recently as general manager of Palo Verde Irrigation District, and has been involved, with Colorado River Issues for a long time. Gerry, thanks for joining us today. A: You’re welcome. Q: To begin with, I know for a fact that you’re not from Blythe, you’re not from this area. How did you happen to come here to PVID? Tell us a little bit about your background. A: Well, I was at Colorado State University working on my master’s degree and I answered an ad in the Denver Post for an assistant engineer at the Palo Verde Irrigation District. Came out for an interview on February the 1st, 1971 with, John Blakemore was the manager at that time. And, after the interview, I went back home and he called me up and offered me the job. So I came to work on the 16th of April 1971 as an assistant engineer. Q: Is there anything in particular that attracted you, aside from having a job offer, anything in particular that attracted you to this area or to the issues that you were going to deal with? A: Well, my wife always reminds me that I was (recording skips) southern California, that was one place in the whole dang country I didn’t want to go to. But I did want to go to an operating irrigation district.

  • Mr. George Colangeli, General Manager Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency 415 N
    Salud Mr. George Colangeli, General Manager Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency 415 N. Main Street Blythe, CA. 92225 Facsimile number 760-922-0491 Dear Mr. Colangeli: The City of Blythe is pleased to support the Blythe Wellness Express 5310 grant application submitted by the Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA) for funding to support this specialized transportation project. With this funding PVVTA will able to provide safe transportation to and from the Coachella Valley area's hospitals and clinics. Blythe Wellness Express will fill a critical transportation gap for Blythe residents to access health care. The planned lifeline transportation service, operating two to three days weekly, will travel to the Coachella Valley’s three hospitals and selected medical clinics more than 100 miles to the west. Currently there is no public transportation between Blythe and the Coachella Valley, with very limited Greyhound service. With temperatures in excess of 110 degrees in our summer months it is the City's belief that having a well purposed means of transportation with a bus designed to make the more than 200 mile trips to and from the Coachella Valley is a much needed addition to PVVTA's Fleet. Blythe is an isolated rural community in the Palo Verde Valley of the Lower Colorado River Valley region, part of the Colorado Desert, and does not score well on numerous health indicators. Additionally, Blythe is a designated Mental Health and Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). We expect that better access to health care specialists, treatments and facilities in the Coachella Valley, via the Blythe Wellness Express, will do much to improve Blythe residents’ health.

    5.0 Other CEQA and NEPA Considerations This chapter discusses other CEQA and NEPA considerations including cumulative impacts; growth-inducing impacts; applicable regulations, policies, and required permits; significant and unavoidable impacts; relationship between short-term uses of the environment and long-term productivity; and irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources. 5.1 Cumulative Impacts This section assesses the cumulative impacts of implementing the Proposed Project when combined with other projects that could result in impacts to the same environmental resources as the Proposed Project. Both CEQA and NEPA provide guidelines for assessing cumulative impacts. The State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15355) provides the following definition of cumulative impacts: The cumulative impact from several projects is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the project when added to other closely related past, present, and reasonably foreseeable probable future projects. CEQA requires that EIRs discuss cumulative impacts if a project's incremental effect is “cumulatively considerable,” which means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15065[c]). The CEQ regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR Section 1508.7) define a “cumulative impact” for purposes of NEPA as follows: Cumulative impact is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.
