Title

Hemet/San Jacinto Integrated Recharge and Recovery Program

Description

The District has amended and restated a previously executed License Agreement authorizing Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) to construct, operate, and maintain a series of groundwater recharge basins and appurtenances within the San Jacinto River Levee system. The amended License Agreement addresses changes in the project to further reduce potential impacts to the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat as requested by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Pursuant to CEQA, EMWD is the lead agency and has adopted the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Hemet/San Jacinto Integrated Recharge and Recovery Program as well as First and Second Addendums to the FEIR. The District considered the FEIR, and adopted CEQA Findings/Statement of Overriding Considerations when approving the previous License Agreement on October 21, 2008. The amended License Agreement and the First and Second Addendum address changes in the project that were authorized in a prior license agreement. The District considered and has accepted EMWD's First and Second Addendums as a responsible agency.
