Document Description
Note: Extended Review per lead
The Proposed Project is a one-year pilot on-farm water conservation program and transfer of consumptive use water. Up to 3,000 acres in the OID could be voluntarily idled during the 2016 irrigation season. The consumptive use water, based on the ETaaw of the crop, saved by the idled lands in estimated to be up to 9,000 AF of water, which would be transferred to SLDMWA and SWC south of the Delta to pay for on-farm water conservation measures on the idled OID lands. Those lands would be put back into agricultural production for the 2017 irrigation season. The Proposed Pilot Project would allow OID to make water available for release to the Stanislaus River at Goodwin Dam during the April-May pulse flows, then to the San Joaquin River, to be exported at the Jones and Banks Pumping Facilities.
