Document Description
Initial study/mitigated negative dec. for the construction and operation of a new pump station and discharge outfall with a diffuser for ag. drainage that is currently discharged from Byron Tract into Old River. The project would also include design and implementation of agricultural best management practices on Byron Tract as a means of reducing loading of water quality constituents of conern into Old River. It further includes funding for design and engineering support for additional projects that would improve water quality in the Delta, including but not limited to, the construction of silt detention basins. The proposed project is an early-stage and critical project of the CALFED Drinking Water Quality Improvement Program designed to reduce the adverse water quality effects of ag. drainage to all Delta drinking water users and of CCWD's municipal water supply diversions at its Old River intake. CCWD would locally manage the project using Ca. Bay-Delta Authority (fomerly CALFED) funding
