Document Description
BVID is proposing a multilayer series of short-term, 1-year, temporary water transfers to DWR, Reclamation, or south-of-Delta CVP/SWP contractors. The transfers would occur during 2010-2025. The transfers would involve up to 3,100 af/yr of Conservation Water (CW) by BVID under its pre-1914 water right and would occur over a period of 2-6 weeks between 7/1 and 11/30 of each year. The CW would be released into the North Yuba River from New Bullards Bar Reservoir consistent with the Yuba River Accord, and would flow through Englebright Reservoir and down the lower Yuba, Feather, and Sacramento Rivers in excess of existing minimum flow requirements to the Delta. Delta pumping of the CW would be subject to all past and future SWRCB decisions and orders; any applicable court orders, and all applicable BOs covering CVP and SWP operations.
