DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

Central Valley Project Improvement

Act, Criteria for Evaluating Water

Conservation Plans

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of draft decision of

evaluation of water conservation plan

for Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District.

SUMMARY: To meet the requirements of

the Central Valley Project Improvement

Act (CVPIA), the Bureau of Reclamation

(Reclamation) developed and published

the Criteria for Evaluating Water

Conservation Plans (Criteria) dated

April 30, 1993, and revised in

September 1996. These Criteria were

developed based on information

provided during public scoping and

public review sessions held throughout

Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific (MP) Region.

Reclamation uses these Criteria to

evaluate the adequacy of all water

conservation plans developed by project

contracts in the MP Region, including

those required by the Reclamation

Reform Act of 1982. The Criteria were

developed and the plans evaluated for

the purpose of promoting the most

efficient water use reasonably

achievable by all MP Region contractors.

Reclamation made a commitment

(stated within the Criteria) to publish a

notice of its draft determination on the

adequacy of each contractor’s water

conservation plan in the Federal

Register to allow the public a minimum

of 30 days to comment on its

preliminary determinations. This

program is on-going; an updated list

will be published to recognize districts

as plans are revised to meet the Criteria.

DATES: All public comments must be

received by December 15, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Please mail comments to

Lucille Billingsley, Bureau of

Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP–

402, Sacramento, CA 95825.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

To be placed on a mailing list for any

subsequent information, please contact

Lucille Billingsley at the address above,

or by telephone at (916) 978–5215 (TDD

978–5608).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

provisions of Section 3405(e) of the

CVPIA (Title 34 of Pub. L. 102–575),

‘‘The Secretary [of the Interior] shall

establish and administer an office on

Central Valley Project water

conservation best management practices

that shall * * * develop criteria. For

evaluating the adequacy of all water

conservation plans developed by project

contractors, including those plans

required by section 210 of the

Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.’’ Also,

according to Section 3405(e)(1), these

criteria will be developed ‘‘* * * with

the purpose of promoting the highest

level of water use efficiency reasonably

achievable by project contractors using

best available cost-effective technology

and best management practices.’’

The MP Criteria states that all parties

(districts) that contract with

Reclamation for water supplies

(municipal and industrial contracts over

2,000 irrigable acre-feet and agricultural

contacts over 2,000 irrigable acres) will

prepare water conservation plans which

will be evaluated by Reclamation based

on the following required information

detailed in the steps listed below to

develop, implement, monitor, and

update their water conservation plans.

The steps are:

1. Coordinate with other agencies and

the public.

2. Describe the district.

3. Inventory water resources.

4. Review the past water conservation

plan and activities.

5. Identify best management practices

to be implemented.

6. Develop schedules, budgets, and

projected results.

7. Review, evaluate, and adopt the

water conservation plan.

8. Implement, monitor, and update

the water conservation plan.

The MP contractor listed below has

developed a water conservation plan

which Reclamation has evaluated and

preliminarily determined meet the

requirements of the Criteria.

• Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District

Public comment on Reclamation’s

preliminary (i.e., draft) determinations

at this time is invited. Copies of the

plans listed above will be available for

review at Reclamation’s MP Regional

Office and MP’s area offices. If you wish

to review a copy of the plans, please

contact Ms. Billingsley to find the office

nearest you.

Dated: November 6, 1997.
