On April 27, 2004, acting as a responsible agency under CEQA, EBMUD approved components of the FRWP to be constructed and operated by EBMUD, including pipeline, pumping plant and treatment plant facilities in Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties. The environmental impacts of the FRWP, and the mitigation measures adopted by FRWA and EBMUD are described in the EIR and the CEQA Findings adopted by FRWA and by EBMUD for project approval.
