Use of Colorado River water is presented for the calendar year, January 1 through December 31, 2019, consistent with the Colorado River Accounting and Water Use Report: Arizona, California, and Nevada, Calendar Year 2019 (Bureau of Reclamation [Reclamation] 2020). 1.1 Background The MVCA is a connected backwater created to divert water off the main stem of the Colorado River just below River Mile 237. Diverted flows run through an excavated channel, enter the existing Park Moabi backwater, and converge with the river 2 miles downstream from the new point of diversion. Excavating the channel created 561 acres of backwater habitat. The footprint of this conservation area is approximately 92 acres, with native land cover types lining the banks and upland slopes of the backwater accounting for the additional 31 acres. The MVCA is located 13 miles south of Needles, California, along the Colorado River. The 149-acre property resides within the boundary of Park Moabi Regional Park. The land is owned by the California State Lands Commission (CSLC) and leased to San Bernardino County. Prior to approaching the CSLC and county about the backwater project, the 149-acre parcel was used as an off- highway vehicle recreational area; however, once the backwater project was presented, the county was willing to divide the property to accommodate both uses. The project’s area of impact involved the entire 149 acres (includes areas of fill), as well as lands at the top and bottom of the parcel, to connect the backwater to the main stem of the Colorado River and the Park Moabi channel. Excavated material was used throughout the site to create the desired contour elevations, but the majority of the excavated material was used to create terrain within the county’s off-highway vehicle area. 1.2 Previous Activities The CSLC (the landowner) and San Bernardino County (the lessee) were approached about the project in 2012. Basic, conceptual ideas about the project 1 Mohave Valley Conservation Area 2019 Annual Report were presented to the CSLC and the county, and discussions and lease agreement negotiations continued, but they could not move toward a final agreement without an official design proposal for the project. Reclamation worked with the CSLC to ensure National Environmental Policy Act/California Environmental Quality Act permitting requirements are met. Both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were notified about the project. A survey of the 149-acre parcel was conducted to establish new control points and to develop elevation contours. Additionally, a temporary gauging station was installed directly across the river from the proposed inlet location so the river stage could be monitored. The data, in conjunction with the site elevation data, were used to determine the volume of material that would be excavated to achieve the desired depth of the backwater. The permits necessary

As you may recall, the Mohave County Board of Supervisors passed two resolutions opposing the permanent transfer of any Colorado River Water Rights and Allocations to the Central Arizona Water Conservation District for use in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District – first as to the Quartzsite transfer and second as to the WPI-WAN transfer in the Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage District. Here is why I oppose this purchase and transfer of our water: First, as a matter of public policy, 4th Priority Colorado River water allocated to the users on the mainstream of the River, such as Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage District (“MVIDD”) in this case, should not be transferred away from mainstream of the River. This is part of the water that the State of Arizona requested be reserved for municipal and industrial uses along the River. Except for that small reservation of 4th Priority Colorado River water to the users on the mainstream, CAWCD received all of Arizona’s Colorado River entitlement remaining at the time that CAWCD and the United States entered into their initial agreement in 1972.

  • Chapter 3 Affected Environment
    Chapter Three Chapter 3 Affected Environment 3.1 Introduction Chapter 3 describes environmental resources (e.g., hydrologic, biologic, and socioeconomic) of the Colorado River Basin that could be affected by the proposed federal action and the range of alternatives for implementing the proposed federal action described in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, respectively. The extent to which each specific resource may be impacted is discussed in Chapter 4. Section 3.2 presents a general discussion of the geographic scope within which potential effects of the alternatives are analyzed, and describes each of the potentially affected Colorado River reaches and water service areas. Subsequent sections in this chapter describe specific resources that may be potentially affected, such as water deliveries, recreation and biologic resources. Each resource section contains a discussion of one or more specific issues identified for consideration through scoping, public review and comment, and internal review (Chapter 1, Table 1.5-1).
