DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation 

[FES 04–53] 

Sacramento River Settlement 

Contractors

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the California Environmental Quality 

Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and the Sacramento River 

Settlement Contractors (SRSC) have 

prepared a Final EIS for the Renewal of 

the Sacramento River Settlement 

Contracts. The proposed renewal of 

long-term contracts provides for 

delivery of water from the Central 

Valley Project (CVP) to the Sacramento 

River Settlement Contractors and the 

diversion of Base Supply water. 

A Notice of Availability of the Draft 

EIS was published in the Federal 

Register on Friday, October 1, 2004 (69 

FR 58947). The comment period on the 

Draft EIS closed Monday, November 15, 

2004. The Final EIS contains responses 

to all substantive comments received on 

the Draft EIS and those comments, or 

summaries thereof. Additional 

information received during the period 

was reviewed and responses are 

provided stating how the information 

was addressed.

DATES: Reclamation will not make a 

decision on the proposed action until at 

least 30 days after release of the Final 

EIS. After the 30-day waiting period, 

Reclamation will complete a Record of 

Decision (ROD). The ROD will state the 

action that will be implemented and 

will discuss all factors leading to the 

decision.

ADDRESSES: A compact disk or a copy of 

the Final EIS may be requested from Ms. 

Sammie Cervantes, Public Affairs 

Office, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 

Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825, at

Dam Blvd., Shasta Lake, CA 96019, at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CVP 

was first authorized as a Federal project 

in 1935 and includes facilities on the 

Sacramento River. Prior to the 

authorization of the CVP, individuals 

and entities along the Sacramento River 

were diverting water for irrigation and 

municipal and industrial (M&I) uses 

under various claims of right. 

Construction of CVP dams on the 

Sacramento River and the Trinity River 

modified the flows of the Sacramento 

River. To settle controversy over 

assertions of rights, the United States, 

acting through the Bureau of 

Reclamation, negotiated the Settlement 

Contracts to provide agreement on 

diversion of the natural flow of the 

Sacramento River and stored CVP water. 

Using jointly conducted studies, the 

parties negotiated to arrive at agreed 

amounts of Base Supply and Project 

Water. Base Supply is water the 

Settlement Contractors divert during the 

period of April through October each 

year, free of charge in recognition of 

their unquantified water rights, which 

existed prior to the construction of the 

CVP. In addition, Reclamation agreed to 

provide the Settlement Contractors with 

certain designated monthly quantities of 

CVP water, referred to as Project Water, 

primarily in the months of July, August, 

and/or September. Project Water is 

subject to all requirements of the 

Federal Reclamation Law, including 

pricing regulations. Base Supply water 

is subject only to the provisions of the 

Settlement Contracts and applicable 

State law. The term of the initial 

Sacramento River Settlement contracts 

was not to exceed 40 years, and the 

contracts were set to expire on March 

31, 2004; however, Congress has granted 

a 2-year extension of the contracts. 

The EIS addresses impacts related to 

the proposed March 2005 renewal of up 

to 145 Sacramento River Settlement 

contracts to continue delivery of 

supplemental Project Water for 

agricultural and M&I uses and the 

renewal of a contract with the Colusa 

Basin Drain Mutual Water Company for 

Project Water to replace the drain water 

that is consumptively used. Water 

would continue to be delivered through 

existing CVP facilities, with no new 

construction required. With the 

exception of Sutter Mutual Water 

Company and the AndersonCottonwood Irrigation District, the 

proposed Settlement contracts provide 

for the continued delivery of the same 

quantities of Project Water provided for 

under the expiring Settlement contracts. 

In addition, the Colusa Basin Drain 

Mutual Water Company’s project water 

allocation is being reduced from 

100,000 to 70,000 acre-feet. 

Under the proposed action, the 

Sacramento River Settlement 

Contractors would divert up to 1.8 

million acre-feet of Base Supply per 

year from the Sacramento River, and up 

to 380,000 acre-feet of Project Water per 

year from the Sacramento River. Twenty 

of the 145 Settlement Contractors 

account for approximately 94 percent of 

the total Settlement contract amount. 

The proposed contract renewal amounts 

range in size from 10 to 825,000 acrefeet per year. Contracts would be 

renewed for a 40-year term. The renewal 

contracts provide for continued delivery 

of CVP water to the same lands and for 

the same purposes of use, with 

exception of Natomas Central Municipal 

Water Company which has requested a 

change from agricultural use to M&I use 

in the Metro Air Park portion of its 

service area. The EIS describes and 

analyzes the effects of the proposed 

contract renewals on fish resources, 

vegetation, and wildlife, hydrology, and 

water quality, recreation, cultural 

resources, land use, geology and soils, 

and air quality. 

A public hearing was held on 

Wednesday, October 27, 2004, in 

Willows, California.
