Narrative

Conveyance of Level 2 refuge water supplies to CVPIA refuges. This includes CVP surface 

water and water from diverse sources such as groundwater, mitigation water, water rights water, 

riparian rights water, and accretion water. 

The conveyance of surface water supplies requires conveyance contracts with a number of 

conveying entities. Due to the geographical location of the refuges, direct delivery of water to a 

refuge boundary from Reclamation conveyance facilities can only be achieved for one of the 19 

refuges. The remaining refuges receiving surface water deliveries require up to 3 conveying 

entities (including Reclamation facilities) for water to reach their boundaries. For the purpose of 

this charter, the primary conveyor represents the contracted conveyor conveying the initial 

diversion of refuge water supplies. In most cases, this water is then delivered to another 

conveying entity (secondary conveyor) with facilities in closer proximity to specific refuges. In 

some instances, the secondary conveyor completes the conveyance, delivering water to the 

refuge boundary. In other instances, a third conveying entity (tertiary conveyor) is necessary to 

complete refuge water conveyance due to the distances between certain refuges and available 

conveyance facilities. The secondary conveyor moves refuge water into the tertiary conveyor’s 

system for final delivery to refuge boundaries. 

-- FY16 represents projected costs to convey full L-2 water supplies to those CVPIA refuges 

with sufficient external conveyance capacity in Contract Water Year 2016 (March 1, 2016, thru 

February 28, 2017).

-- FY17 represents projected costs to convey full L-2 water supplies to those CVPIA refuges 

with sufficient external conveyance capacity in Contract Water Year 2017 (March 1, 2017, thru 

February 28, 2018).

- FY18 represents projected costs to convey full L-2 water supplies to those CVPIA refuges with 

sufficient external conveyance capacity in Contract Water Year 2018 (March 1, 2018, thru 

February 28, 2019).

Data Management

Contract and agreement records are maintained in Acquisitions Division, MP-3800 and

Narrative

Conveyance of Incremental (Inc.) Level 4 refuge water supplies to CVPIA refuges. This 

includes annually acquired surface water, purchased permanent surface water, and pumped 

groundwater.. 

The conveyance of surface water supplies requires conveyance contracts with a number of 

conveying entities. Due to the geographical location of the refuges, direct delivery of water to a 

refuge boundary from Reclamation conveyance facilities can only be achieved for one of the 19 

refuges. The remaining refuges receiving surface water deliveries require up to 3 conveying 

entities (including Reclamation facilities) for water to reach their boundaries. For the purpose of 

this charter, the primary conveyor represents the contracted conveyor conveying the initial 

diversion of refuge water supplies. In most cases, this water is then delivered to another 

conveying entity (secondary conveyor) with facilities in closer proximity to specific refuges. In 

some instances, the secondary conveyor completes the conveyance, delivering water to the 

refuge boundary. In other instances, a third conveying entity (tertiary conveyor) is necessary to 

complete refuge water conveyance due to the distances between certain refuges and available 

conveyance facilities. The secondary conveyor moves refuge water into the tertiary conveyor’s 

system for final delivery to refuge boundaries. 

-- FY16 represents projected costs to convey Inc. Level 4 water supplies to those CVPIA refuges

Narrative

This project involves conveyance of tertiary treated wastewater from the cities of Turlock and 

Modesto into the DMC for delivery to Del Puerto Water District and refuges. Refuges that 

would benefit from this water includes the San Luis Unit, West Bear Creek Unit, Kesterson Unit, 

Freitas Unit, Los Banos Wildlife Area, China Island, Salt Slough, Mendota Wildlife Area, 

Grasslands Resource Conservation District, and Kern National Wildlife Refuge. At full build 

out, the amount of water that could be delivered to the refuges is up to approximately 30,000 

acre-feet, depending on our level involvement with the project. Currently, funding is needed to 

complete the environmental work (EIS/EIR), final project design, and all the permitting required 

for the project.

Data Management

Data will be managed by the consultants. Reports will be provided on progress. Final reports 

will include all the permits necessary to construct the project and the environmental compliance

Narrative

This pumping plant has had a lot of challenges since it was built. It has been a struggle to keep it 

operating throughout the pumping season. Funding is needed to:

1. Complete remaining repairs (hydraulic slide gate, ball valves, isolation valves, air valves, and 

knife gates).
Central Valley Project Improvement Act

36

2. Enter into service agreements in order to be able to address problems as they occur. Service 

contracts anticipated include automation/system control provider and a well/plant mechanical 

provider.

3. Study the current design to make it more operationally efficient by Refuge staff. Currently 

the plant is subject to frequent shut downs due to alarms and notifications that need to be 

resolved by calling a consultant. This requires time, during which the Plant is unable to pump 

water for the refuge.

Currently, no funds have been allocated to the San Joaquin Action Plans Lands. Funds would 

need to be moved to this account from the Refuge Water Supplies, Facilities account.
