FRESNO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation finalized an Environmental Assessment and signed a Finding of No Significant Impact for the proposed approval of the one-time transfer of up to 2,500 acre-feet of Central Valley Project water from Tulare Irrigation District to Wutchumna Water Company for late-season irrigation deliveries.
This transfer will occur within existing facilities and will not require construction activities. In return, up to 2,500 acre-feet of Wutchumna's Kaweah River water will be redirected to Tulare using existing in-district water delivery infrastructure.
The Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, and are available at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=34061.
