SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Del 

Puerto Water District (Del Puerto WD) 

and the Cities of Turlock and Modesto 

propose to implement a regional 

solution to address water supply 

shortages within Del Puerto WD’s 

service area on the west side of the San 

Joaquin River in San Joaquin, Stanislaus 

and Merced Counties. Specifically, the 

project proposes to deliver up to 59,000 

acre-feet per year by 2045 of recycled 

water produced by the cities to the Delta 

Mendota Canal (DMC). After 

introduction to the DMC, the recycled 

water would be conveyed to Del Puerto 

WD customers, to the Central Valley 

Project Improvement Act-designated 

refuges or to San Luis Reservoir for 

storage, depending on time of year and 

water demand. The Draft EIS/EIR 

assesses the environmental effects of 

four alternatives being considered, 

which are described below. In each case 

(except for the No Action Alternative), 

operational exchanges with the Bureau 

of Reclamation may be necessary in 

order to balance seasonal supply and 

demand. 

Under Alternative 1, the Combined 

Alignment Alternative, a new pipe 

would be constructed to deliver treated 

water from Turlock’s facilities to the 

city of Modesto’s pumping plant. From 

there, a pipeline would be constructed 

to deliver the combined water from both 

cities west, underneath the San Joaquin 

River. The pipeline would end at a new 

discharge structure on the DMC. The 

DMC would then be used to convey 

water to downstream users. 

Alternative 2, the Separate Alignment 

Alternative, is similar to Alternative 1, 

except that separate pipelines would be 

constructed from the Modesto and 

Turlock water treatment facilities. There 

would be two crossings underneath the 

San Joaquin River, and two new 

discharge structures on the DMC. 

Under Alternative 3, the Patterson 

Irrigation District (PID) Conveyance 

Alternative, Modesto and Turlock 

would continue to discharge their 

treated water to the San Joaquin River. 

The water would be diverted by PID at 

their existing intake on the river, which 

would need to be expanded, delivered 

to the DMC by way of an expanded PID 

conveyance system, and discharged to 

the DMC by way of a new outfall 

structure. From there, the water would 

be conveyed to downstream users. This 

alternative would require an expansion 

of PID’s fish screen facility and a 

pipeline parallel to PID’s main canal to 

accommodate increased water volume, 

but no new river crossings. 

Alternative 4, the No Action 

Alternative, represents the state of the 

environment without implementation of 

any action alternatives. Modesto and 

Turlock would continue to discharge 

their treated municipal water to the San 

Joaquin River, and no additional water 

would be supplied to Del Puerto WD or 

the Central Valley Project Improvement 

Act refuges.
