Present Land Use
Historically, the Project site has been used for cattle grazing under lease arrangements. The CEMEX Lemon Cove aggregate facility is immediately to the north, and their Stillwell Aggregate Mine is approximately one (1.0) mile to the northeast of the Project site. The Kaweah River Rock and later the Santa Fe aggregate mining and processing facilities were located immediately to the west on the Seaborn site, and the Kaweah South Project lies approximately one (1.0) mile to the southwest of the Project site. These figures illustrate how adjacent lands to the north, northeast, southwest, and west are currently being used for aggregate mining operations, and the areas south and east of the Project site are primarily used for agricultural uses and, to a limited extent, for scattered rural residential purposes.
Document Description
The Project is the construction and operation of a surface water storage reservoir. The reservoir would allow for better management of surface water by providing 4,600 acre-feet of water storage capacity to support water demands during dry seasons, additional flood control and storm water management during the wet season.
The Project would consist of the following phases: excavation of the site for the reservoir; construction of the reservoir; and, operation of the reservoir. The Owners intend to enter into a lease agreement with West Coast Sand and Gravel (WCSG) to excavate the site to allow for the construction of the reservoir. After the excavation and construction of the reservoir, the McKay Point Reservoir would be used as a surface water storage/re-regulation reservoir. The reservoir would also be used to optimize groundwater recharge within the Owners service areas.
