    July 13, 2018 NOTICE OF PREPARATION Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed SWP Water Supply Contract Amendments for Water Management and California WaterFix July 13, 2018 INTRODUCTION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Department of Water Resources (DWR) will be the Lead Agency and will prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed State Water Project Water Supply Contract Amendments for Water Management and California WaterFix (proposed project). As more fully discussed below, this proposed project includes amending certain provisions of the State Water Resources Development System (SWRDS) Water Supply Contracts (Contracts). SWRDS (defined in Water Code Section 12931), or more commonly referred to as the State Water Project (SWP), was enacted into law in the Burns-Porter Act, passed by the Legislature in 1959 and approved by the voters in 1960. DWR constructed and currently operates and maintains the SWP, a system of storage and conveyance facilities that 1 provide water to 29 State Water Contractors known as the Public Water Agencies (PWAs). These PWAs include local water agencies and districts legislatively enabled to serve irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply customers or retail water supply 1 The State Water Project Public Water Agencies include Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Zone 7), Alameda County Water District, Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency, Castaic Lake Water Agency, City of Yuba City, Coachella Valley Water District, County

  • APPENDIX B Alternatives Development

    APPENDIX B Alternatives Development

    APPENDIX B Alternatives Development Introduction In 2001, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region (Reclamation), California Department of Water Resources (DWR), and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) began appraisal-level studies of the potential to expand Los Vaquero Reservoir to address regional water supply reliability and water quality needs. Expansion of Los Vaqueros was one of five potential surface water storage projects identified by the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (CALFED) as warranting further study. The appraisal-level studies indicated that expanding the reservoir by as much as 400,000 acre-feet was technically feasible and could provide water quality and water supply reliability to Bay Area water agencies in the region and also provide potential benefits to fisheries sensitive to water management operations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta). Reclamation was directed by the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2003 to conduct a feasibility-level investigation of the potential expansion of Los Vaqueros Reservoir. This appendix contains a description of the comprehensive alternatives development process initiated after voters in the CCWD service area approved an advisory measure in 2004 to continue investigating the potential for expansion of Los Vaqueros Reservoir. The alternatives development process was based partly on the Project Concept Report (CCWD, 2002) and the Final Draft Planning Report (CCWD, 2004). The process resulted in the development of four action alternatives which are evaluated this Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). The No Project/No Action Alternative is also discussed. The alternatives development process consisted of the following three steps: • Initial concepts • Initial plans • Alternatives development and refinement This appendix also includes a summary of the evaluation of alternative sites for project components including intakes, pipelines, and conveyance facilities that are included in the action alternatives.

  • C1: Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit*

    C1: Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit*

    C1: Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit* About This Project Anderson Reservoir is currently limited to about 52% of its capacity due to seismic concerns, costing Santa Clara County valuable drinking water resources. This project covers earthquake retrofitting of Anderson Dam to improve reliability and safety, and returns the reservoir to its original storage capacity. Anderson Dam creates the county’s largest surface water reservoir—Anderson Reservoir— which stores local rainfall runoff and imported water from the Central Valley Project. The reservoir is an important water source for treatment plants and the recharge of the groundwater basin. Besides restoring drinking water supplies, the upgrade also supports compliance with environmental regulations. The District’s regular reservoir releases ensure that downstream habitat has healthy flows and temperatures to sustain wildlife. A breach of Anderson Dam at full capacity could have catastrophic consequences, including inundation of surrounding land more than 30 miles northwest to San Francisco Bay, and more than 40 miles southeast to Monterey Bay. In December 2016, the board was informed by the district that findings from the geotechnical and geologic investigations performed during the project’s design phase led to the conclusion that a more extensive dam retrofit than had originally been envisioned would have to be performed. Further, the Board was informed that the more extensive retrofit work would double the previous project’s estimated cost. The district presented the Board with a water supply cost-benefit analysis that showed the benefits of the more extensive retrofit project significantly outweighed the cost of not proceeding with the retrofit, which would require the district to purchase additional imported water every year to make up for the loss of long-term storage at Anderson Reservoir.
