FOLSOM, Calif. -
The Bureau of Reclamation has released the final environmental documents for the execution of a 24-month interim Central Valley Project (CVP) water service
contract renewal for the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA).
The interim CVP water service contract with PCWA will allow for the annual delivery of up to
35,000 acre-feet of CVP water for municipal and industrial uses in Placer County. The term of the PCWA contract is March 1, 2016, through Feb. 28, 2018.
Deliveries will be made through existing facilities, and no new construction is required. In the event a new long-term water service contract is executed,
the interim renewal contract then in effect would be superseded by the long-term contract.
The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act
and are available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?project_ID=23780. If you
