Notice of Availability for the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report for LongTerm Water Transfers, Central Valley 

and Bay Area, California 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota 

Water Authority have prepared the 

Long-Term Water Transfers Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). 

The Final EIS/EIR addresses water 

transfers to Central Valley Project (CVP) 

contractors south of the Delta and in the 

San Francisco Bay area from CVP and 

non-CVP sources from north of the Delta 

using Delta pumps (both CVP and State 

Water Project (SWP) facilities). Water 

transfers could occur through various 

methods such as groundwater 

substitution, cropland idling, reservoir 

release, and conservation, and could 

include individual and multiyear 

transfers from 2015 through 2024. 

DATES: Reclamation will not make a 

decision on the proposed action until at 

least 30 days after the release of the 

Final EIS/EIR. 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: Send written 

correspondence or requests for copies to 

Mr. Brad Hubbard, Bureau of 

Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, 

Sacramento, CA 95825; or via email to 

bhubbard@usbr.gov. 

To request a compact disc of the Final 

EIS/EIR, please contact Mr. Brad 

Hubbard as indicated above, or call 

(916) 978–5204. The Final EIS/EIR may 

be viewed at the Bureau of 

Reclamation’s Web site at http://

projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=18361. See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 

locations where copies of the Final EIS/ 

EIR are available for public review. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Brad Hubbard, Project Manager, Bureau 

of Reclamation, via email at bhubbard@

Director, San Luis & Delta-Mendota 

Water Authority, via email at

832–6200. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Hydrologic conditions, climatic 

variability, and regulatory requirements 

for operation of water projects 

commonly affect water supply 

availability in California. Project 

supplies are often the primary source of 

water for south of Delta users, and the 

complex factors constraining 

operational decisions not only strain 

total annual water supplies, but 

regularly create mismatched timing 

between planting decisions and 

announcement of final water supply 

allocations, making advance planning 

for water shortages necessary and 

routine. These conditions and resulting 

shortages create a need for water 

transfers to help meet water demands. 

The purpose of the Long-Term Water 

Transfers EIS/EIR is to facilitate 

voluntary water transfers from willing 

sellers upstream of the Delta to water 

users south of the Delta and in the San 

Francisco Bay Area. The maximum 

approvable quantity transferable to any 

contractor cannot exceed that 

contractor’s total contract supply, but 

instead helps to make up for shortages. 

Such transfers need to be 

implementable within narrow annual 

windows for decisions on each end and 

flexible enough to address highly
