SHASTA LAKE, Calif. -
The Bureau of Reclamation has released environmental documents to approve the Colusa County Water District’s temporary delivery of Central Valley Project
water to Colusa County Tax Assessor’s Parcel Number 021-130-001 through its standing water service contract with Reclamation. The water will be used for
crop irrigation and fertilization purposes while the groundwater well that permanently supplies water to the parcel is repaired.
The District proposes to provide up to 80 acre-feet from its contract total for the 2016 Contract Year to the parcel during the period from approval of the
request through Feb. 28, 2017. The parcel is not within the boundary of another CVP contractor but is within the Place of Use identified for water rights
held by the CVP.
The Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and are available
