4.3 Water Resources 4.3 Water Resources
4.3 WATER RESOURCES 4.3 WATER RESOURCES This section describes the existing hydrological setting for the County, including a discussion of water quality, based on published and unpublished reports and data compiled by regional agencies. Agencies contacted include the United States Geological Survey, the California Department of Water Resources, and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. This section also identifies impacts that may result from the project. SETTING CLIMATE The local climate is considered warm desert receiving approximately six to eight inches of rainfall per year (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1986). Rainfall occurs primarily in the winter months, with lesser amounts falling in late summer and fall. Kings County would also be considered a dry climate since evaporation greatly exceeds precipitation.1 A common characteristic of dry climates, other than relatively small amounts of precipitation, is that the amount of precipitation received each year is highly variable. Generally, the lower the mean annual rainfall, the greater the year-to-year variability (Lutgens and Tarbuck, 1979). SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY The County is part of a hydrologic system referred to as the Tulare Lake Basin (Figure 4.3- 1). The management of water resources within the Tulare Lake Basin is a complex activity and is critical to the region’s agricultural operations. The County can be divided into three main hydrologic subareas: the northern alluvial fan and basin area (in the vicinity of the Kings, Kaweah, and Tule rivers and their distributaries), the Tulare Lake Zone, and the southwestern uplands (including the areas west of the California Aqueduct and Highway 5) (Figure 4.3-2).

Comprehensive Operations Plan and Monitoring Special Study Prepared by the Department of Water Resources and the U.S
August 25, 2019 Comprehensive Operations Plan and Monitoring Special Study Prepared by the Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation In Accordance with the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta Estuary—December 12, 2018 This Comprehensive Operations Plan (COP) and Monitoring Special Study (MSS) describes current and potential future actions that fully address the impacts of the State Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP) export operations on water levels and flow conditions that may affect salinity conditions in the southern Delta, including the availability of assimilative capacity for local sources of salinity. The COP includes detailed information regarding the configuration and operations of facilities relied upon in the COP and identifies performance goals for these facilities. Comprehensive Operations Plan Current SWP/CVP Operations Exports The Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) operate the State Water Project and Central Valley Project (collectively Projects), respectively, in compliance with the terms and conditions contained in their water rights permits and licenses issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). In December 1999 (and amended in March 2000), the SWRCB issued Water Rights Decision 1641 (D-1641), which amended the associated water rights permits with additional terms and conditions to protect beneficial uses in the Delta. This included assigning responsibility to DWR and Reclamation for meeting specific water quality and flow objectives (DWR, 2006). In addition, DWR and Reclamation must also comply with regulatory requirements, as applicable, contained in, but not limited to: • 2008 U.S.

The survey, which was Radiocarbon Date and the the largest smgle mventory conducted at Tulare Lake to Geologic Context of Human date, resulted in the documentation of seven previously Occupation in the Tulare Lake unrecorded prehistoric sites and 46 isolated prehistoric Basin of California artifacts (Gardner 2003). All but one of the sites (CA-KIN-80^ see below) and a majority of the isolates were found within JILL K. GARDNER 100 m. of the 190-ft. contour shown on the most recent ROBERT M. NEGRINI topographic maps. In their discussion of the Witt Site, MARK Q.
