Document Description
Yuba Water began implementing the Yuba Accord in 2008. It is a comprehensive settlement resolving issues regarding instream flow requirements for the lower Yuba River, water transfers, conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater, and fisheries management. The environmental effects of the Yuba Accord were evaluated in an EIR, which was certified in 2007 (State Clearinghouse No. 2005062111). Yuba Water proposes to continue the Water Transfer Program beyond its current expiration date of December 31, 2025. Although no substantial changes to the Water Transfer Program are proposed, Yuba Water, as lead agency, has chosen to prepare this supplemental EIR (supplement to the 2007 EIR) to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the Proposed Extension.
