Title

North Fork Frost Ponds - Second Revised Draft EIR

Description

The North Fork Ranch Frost Pond project would result in the construction and operation of three water storage reservoirs (frost ponds) located on the south side of State Route 166 on a 6,565-acre parcel. The project parcel is located approximately nine miles west of the community of New Cuyama in Santa Barbara County. The reservoirs would be used to supply frost protection water to approximately 840 acres of existing vineyards generally during the months of February, March and April. Each of the proposed reservoirs would be lined to prevent water infiltration, and each would occupy an area of approximately five acres and have the capacity to store approximately 44 acre feet of water. Water stored in the reservoirs would be supplied by existing agricultural wells located on the project parcel and north of SR 166. A total of approximately 257,945 cubic yards of cut and fill grading would be required to construct the three proposed reservoirs. In total the three reservoirs would occupy an area of approximately 15.6 acres.
