Document Description
The Supply Project involves the installation of a desalination plant, associated pipelines, including the Transmission Main Pipeline, Castroville Pipeline, Desalinated Water Pipeline, and the Source Water Pipeline along with the installation of two Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Wells. Project activities encompass a total of 54.57 acres.
The Supply Project will permanently remove 14.746 acres and temporarily impact 34.681 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) (CTS) upland habitat. The Supply Project is expected to result in incidental take of CTS, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Supply Project implementation. Minor Amendment No. 1, as referenced above and issued by CDFW extends the expiration date of the ITP from June 30, 2023, to June 30, 2028, and revises the language used to describe habitat associated with General Jim Moore Boulevard and engineered fill to clarify that Conditions of Approval associated with Covered Activities are necessary for that portion of the Project Area.
