SHASTA LAKE, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released environmental documents for the implementation of a temporary program for annual water transfers, pursuant to Sacramento River Settlement Contract No. 14-06-200-855A-R-1 for Contract Years 2016 through 2020 (April 1, 2016 through Oct. 31, 2020).
The transfer program will continue previous water transfer programs, under which Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District may transfer up to 20,000 acre-feet of base supply from the GCID service area to contiguous irrigable lands to increase operational flexibility and meet agricultural demands on the transferee’s lands.
