FRESNO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released
the Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for
the Contra Costa Water District Shortcut Pipeline Improvements Project.
Under the proposed action, a variety of improvements would be made to the
pipeline and the surrounding area in order to simplify operations and
maintenance.
The Shortcut Pipeline is owned by Reclamation and operated and maintained
by the Contra Costa Water District. This pipeline is also the main source
of water supply for the city of Martinez and the Shell Oil Martinez
refinery. Critical repairs and improvements necessary to ensure reliable
long-term water supply using the pipeline have been identified in the EA
and consist of access road construction, infrastructure rehabilitation, and
long-term operation and maintenance activities.
The Final EA/FONSI were prepared in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act and are available at
