Document Description
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) proposes to enter into long-term refuge water supply contracts/agreements with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), the California Department of Fish and Game *CDFG), and the Grassland Water District pursuant to Sections 3406(d)(1) and 3406(d)(2) of Title 34 of Public Law 102-575 of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA). These sections of the CVPIA require the provision of firm water supplies to specified National Wildlife Refuges (NWR's), State Wildlife Areas (WA's), and private wetlands in the Grassland Resource Conservation District (collectively referred to as "refuges"). Providing firm water supplies under this project would allow for optimum habitat management on the existing refuge lands. Reclamation is the federal Lead Agency for the preparation of the Environmental Assessments (EA's) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The proposed federal action is for the execution of long-term refuge water supply agreement in the three watershed basins.
