PROJECT DESCRIPTION El Dorado Irrigation District (District) has requested that DWR convey up to 8,421 acre-feet of transfer water to Westlands made available by additional releases from Caples Lake and Silver Lake that otherwise would be added to storage in Jenkinson Lake. The District also has a separate conveyance agreement (SWPAO #20-752) with DWR and Westlands regarding the transfer of stored releases from Weber Reservoir. The combined maximum transfer amount from Caples Lake, Silver Lake, and Weber Reservoir will be 8,421 acre-feet. The point of transfer will be Folsom Lake Reservoir. The transfer water will flow to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, where DWR will export the transfer water through the SWP Banks Pumping Plant and convey it to Westlands’ service area through the California Aqueduct.
