northern California and the Colorado

River.

Extensive evaluations have been

conducted over the past seven years to

define and determine the feasibility of a

reclamation project. A study was

performed by OCWD to evaluate the

water supply alternatives to meet the

future needs of Orange County Water

District’s customers. The OCR Project

was identified to be one of the most

reliable and cost effective project

alternatives to providing a new local

water supply to Orange County. The

project is proposed to be implemented

in three phases. Phase I is proposed to

be implemented by the year 2003 and

would supply 50,000 acre-feet per year

(afy) (one afy is enough water to supply

two families of four for an entire year).

Phases II and III would supply an

additional 25,000 afy by the years 2010

and 2020 respectively, or sooner if

required.

An EIS will be prepared and a full

environmental analysis will be

completed to address any significant

impacts the project may have on the

surrounding environment. The draft EIS

is expected to be completed and

available for review and comment by

April, 1998.

The present investigation began in

1994. Since that time, OCWD and

CSDOC have held public meetings to

discuss study progress with interested

individuals and affected agencies.

Additional public meetings will be

scheduled to encourage public and

agency involvement in the study and

the environmental analysis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The San

Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin

Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta system) is a

critically important part of California’s

natural environment and economy. In

recognition of the serious problems

facing the region and the complex

resource management desicions that

must be made, the state of California

and the Federal government are working

together to stabilize, protect, restore,

and enhance the Bay-Delta system. The

State and Federal agencies with

management and regulatory

responsibilities in the Bay-Delta system

are working together as CALFED to

provide policy direction and oversight

for the process.

One area of Bay-Delta management

includes the establishment of a joint

State-Federal process to develop longterm solutions to problems in the BayDelta system related to fish and wildlife,

water supply reliability, natural

disasters, and water quality. The intent

is to develop a comprehensive and

balanced plan which addresses all of the

resource problems. This effort, the

CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Program),

is being carried out under the policy

direction of CALFED. The CALFED BayDelta Program is exploring and

developing a long-term solution for a

cooperative planning process that will

determine the most appropriate strategy

and actions necessary to improve water

quality, restore health to the Bay-Delta

ecosystem, provide for a variety of

beneficial uses, and minimize Bay-Delta

system vulnerability. A group of citizen

advisors representing California’s

agricultural, environmental, urban,

business, fishing, and other interests

who have a stake in finding long term

solutions for the problems affecting the

Bay-Delta system has been chartered

under the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (FACA) as the BDAC to advise

CALFED on the program mission,

problems to be addressed, and

objectives for the CALFED Bay-Delta

Program. BDAC provides a forum to

help ensure pubic participation, and

will review reports and other materials

prepared by CALFED staff. BDAC has

established a subcommittee called the

Ecosystem Rountable to provide input

on annual work plans to implement

ecosystem restoration projects and

programs.

Minutes of the meetings will be

maintained by the CALFED Bay-Delta

Program, Suite 1155, 1416 Ninth Street,

Sacramento, CA 95814, and will be

available for public inspection during

regular business hours, Monday through

Friday within 30 days following the

meeting.
