Title

Source Shifting Agreement with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for the Environmental Water Account

Description

The project involves an Addendum to the Negative Declaration for the Source Shifting Agreement between the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) for the Environmental Water Account (EWA). The Addendum enables DWR to reschedule delivery of up to 100,000 acre-feet of Metropolitan's State Water Project entitlement water for use by the EWA, a project implementing the CALFED Bay-Delta Program. This project was planned to occur in 2002; however, it was not initiated in that year. The source shift may be required in 2003 to make water available to the EWA. This Addendum was prepared to provide additional detail regarding the project, assure that there are no new environmental impacts excluded from environmental review and to fully inform decision makers prior to signing agreements to implement the source-shift project in 2003. The Addendum primarily addresses changes to dates for various parts of the source shift and does not impact information and analyses contained in the Negative Declaration and Initial Study for the original source shift agreement.
