Document Description
Butte Water District will idle up to 4,928 acres of rice land to make up to 14,784 acre-feet of water and/or will pump groundwater from wells located in Sutter County for up to 5,750 acre-feet of water in 2025 alone. This idling and/or groundwater pumping would make water available for temporary transfer to the participating member public agencies of the State Water Contractors Incorporated and/or other South of Delta purchasers. Based on the Initial Study and supporting analysis, Butte Water District finds that adoption of the Project does not have a significant effect on the environment.
