Document Description
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide up to 31,000 acre-feet of water to irrigable lands on MPG properties to offset cutbacks in water supplies attributable to the CVPIA, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings and regulations, and new Delta water quality rules. Of this, 25,000 acre-feet would be exchanged with Reclamation for water from the DMC at Check 13. The 25,000 acre-feet of non-CVP water to be exchanged constitutes the federal action that is the subject of this EA.
