Addendum No. 1 to the Supplemental EIR/EIS for the Riverside Corona Feeder Project

The project is proposed to store excess imported water when it is available to increase firm water supplies, to improve water quality, and to reduce water costs. The project proposes to manage the groundwater levels through the construction of groundwater wells in the San Bernardino Basin Area and pumps to deliver the groundwater supply to water users. The project will also include a new water pipeline to serve portions of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. This system of storage, extraction and distribution will improve the reliability of WMWD's water supply through the managed storage and distribution of excess imported water and reduce possible water shortages during dry years through reduced dependence on imported water during dry year conditions. The achieve this purpose, the FCF project replenishes excess State Water Project (SWP) water supplied by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) into the San Bernardino Groundwater Basin Area, and extracts and moves water throughout the region by way of interconnections between local groundwater basins.
