Document Description
The three independent Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP) projects referenced in the title of this NOP are the: 1) Chino Basin Program (The Inland Empire Utilities Agency) 2) Kern Fan Groundwater Storage Project (The Groundwater Banking Joint Powers Authority, comprised of the Rosedale Rio Bravo Water Storage District and Irvine Ranch Water District), and 3) Willow Springs Water Bank Project1 (Rosamund Community Services District) The lead agencies (indicated in parentheses above) previously completed the CEQA review process for each of the WSIP groundwater projects. The projects involve groundwater storage and water exchange to enable pulse flows in the Feather River Watershed from Oroville Dam. The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) to supplement the existing environmental review for these three WSIP groundwater projects and to provide proposed action to facilitate a portion of the three projects: the Pulse Flows Component of the WSIP Groundwater Projects (Pulse Flows Component). See attached NOP for additional information.
