SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

DEIS/DEIR is a revised and updated

version of a DEIS/DEIR for the Coachella

Canal Lining Project filed by

Reclamation and the CVWD and issued

for public comment on January 11,

1994. At that time, because of funding

constraints, construction of the project

was deferred, and a Final EIS/EIR was

not completed. The proposed action

evaluated in the revised DEIS/DEIR is

the same as in the previous document—

to install a concrete lining within the

existing cross-section of unlined

portions of the canal (33.2 miles) using

conventional construction methods and

diverting water around each section

while it is being lined. Alternatives

evaluated in the DEIS/DEIR, also the

same as in the original DEIS/DEIR,

include No Action, Underwater Lining,

and Parallel Canal Construction.

The purpose of this federal action is

to conserve 30,850 acre-feet annually of

water presently being lost as seepage

from the earthen reaches of the

Coachella Canal. A specific quantity of

conserved water would be assigned to

the Department of the Interior to

facilitate implementation of the San

Luis Rey Indian Water Rights Settlement

Act (Public Law 100–675, November 17,

1988). Remaining quantities of

conserved water would be distributed to

southern California to meet present

water demand and to assist the State in

attaining the goals of California’s

Colorado River Water Use Plan. The

federal action includes approval of

transfers and exchanges of conserved

Coachella canal water among

California’s Colorado River water

contractors.

Dated: September 13, 2000.

Regional Director.
