Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) is proposing refinements to the Water Conservation Program as follows: (1) provide incentives for a combination of new cost-effective water-saving devices; (2) establish a landscape survey program; and (3) implement program administration improvements for Metropolitan's conservation program. This request is consistent with Metropolitan's Five-Year Conservation Strategy Plan to achieve the conservation targets of the Integrated Water Resources Plan. The recommended changes would improve regional supply reliability by instituting new conservation measures. Continued success in conservation is part of the Metropolitan's role as a responsible steward of water conservation.

The proposed actions involve new or upgraded conservation incentives, conservation program refinements, and funding of studies and minor modifications, reconstructions or replacements, along with the construction of minor appurtenant structures to existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use and no possibility of significantly impacting the physical environment. The proposed actions may involve minor modifications in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation, which does not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees. In addition, the proposed project consists of basic data collection and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. This may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action, which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.
