Description

The Notice of Determination is for the Amended ITP No. 2081-2011-056-04 Amendment No. 1. The amended ITP adds giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens) to the Covered Species list. The proposed Project includes the construction of a new water turnout on the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) California Aqueduct to deliver water into Buena Vista Water Storage District's (BVWSD) West Side Canal via a new underground pipeline and outlet structure. The turnout will be constructed on the east bank of the Aqueduct consisting of a 78 inch by 78 inch sluice gate and appurtenances. Within the DWR's right-of-way there will also be a meter vault, instrument building and appurtenances. An underground pipeline will connect the turnout structure to the outlet structure on the West Side Canal. The pipeline will be approximately 1,510 feet long and 78-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The trench required for pipe installation will be approximately 30 feet wide by 13 feet deep with a temporary construction easement of 100 feet wide along the length of the pipeline. The pipeline will run underground across the Kern River Flood Channel.
