Title
Friant-Kern Canal Pump-Back Project
Description
The Friant-Kern Canal Pump-Back Project proposes facilitating the recirculation of recaptured Restoration Flows released from Millerton Lake for the San Joaquin River Restoration Program and other waters obtained by Friant Division Contractors to increase operational flexibility and long-term reliability of the water supplies conveyed through the Friant-Kern Canal (FKC). Friant Water Authority (FWA) proposes to increase flexibility and reliability by constructing three new permanent pump-back facilities along the FKC with a 500 cfs facility at the Shafter-Wasco check structure, a 250 cfs facility at the Lake Woollomes check structure, and a 250 cfs facility at the Deer Creek check structure (proposed project). In addition to the proposed project, the Draft EIR evaluates a 1) Low Flow Alternative, which consists of constructing three new permanent pump-back facilities along the FKC with a 200 cfs facility at the Shafter-Wasco check structure, a 75 cfs facility at the Lake Woollomes check structure, and a 75 cfs facility at the Deer Creek check structure and a 2) Seasonal Alternative, which would install and operate seasonal pump-back facilities at Shafter-Wasco check structure (up to 200 cfs) and Lake Woollomes check structure (up to 75 cfs) replacing the existing temporary facilities.
