DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

Central Valley Project Improvement

Act, Criteria for Evaluating Water

Management Plans

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: To meet the requirements of

the Central Valley Project Improvement

Act (CVPIA) of 1992 and the

Reclamation Reform Act of 1982,

Reclamation developed and published

the Criteria for Evaluating Water

Conservation Plans, dated April 30,

1993. In September 1996, Reclamation

revised the document and renamed it to

Criteria for Evaluating Water

Management Plans (Criteria).

Patterson Water District has

developed a water management plan

which Reclamation has evaluated and

preliminarily determined to meet the

requirements of the Criteria.

The 1996 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 management plans

developed by Central Valley Project

contractors. The Criteria were

developed and the plans have been

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 of the

adequacy of each contractor’s water

management plan in the Federal

Register to allow the public a minimum

of 30 days to comment on its

preliminary determinations.

DATES: All public comments must be

received by December 13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Our practice is to make

comments, including names and home

addresses of respondents, available for

public review. Individual respondents

may request that we withhold their

home address from public disclosure,

which we will honor to the extent

allowable by law. There also may be

circumstances in which we would

withhold a respondent’s identity from

public disclosure, as allowable by law.

If you wish us to withhold your name

and/or address, you must state this

prominently at the beginning of your

comment. We will make all submissions

from organizations or businesses, and

from individuals identifying themselves

as representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, available

for public disclosure in their entirety.

Please mail comments to Lucille

Billingsley, Bureau of Reclamation,

2800 Cottage Way, MP–410, 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

provision of Section 3405 (e) of the

CVPIA (Title 34 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 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

contracts over 2,000 irrigable acres) will

prepare water management 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 management plans.

The steps are:

1. Describe the district.

2. Inventory water resources available

to the District.

3. Best Management Practices (BMP’s)

for Agricultural Contractors.

4. BMP’s for Urban Contractors.

5. Exemption Process.

Public comment on Reclamation’s

preliminary (i.e., draft) determinations

of Patterson Water District’s water

management plan is invited at this time.

A copy of the Plan will be available for

review at Reclamation’s MP Regional

Office located in Sacramento, California,

and MP’s South-Central California Area

Office located in Fresno, California.

Dated: November 1, 2000.
