Document Type: NEG - Negative Declaration
Received: 12/9/2010

Document Description: The McConnell Foundation and John Steiner are requesting annexation of their Gore Ranch and Steiner property, respectively, into the service area boundary of the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID). ACID's Board of Directors tentatively approved annexation of the entire 2,261-acre Gore Ranch and the ~ 25-acre Steiner property into its service area on February 11, 2010. However, as part of the annexation, ACID will condition that an agreement must be made between itself and the McConnell foundation whereby ACID would provide only enough surface irrigation water to irrigate ~ 317 acres of the Gore Ranch immediately adjacent to the main canal and the historic Townsend Flat Water Ditch. No development is planned.
