[FR Doc. 2015–06394 Filed 3–19–15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310–HC–P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation [RR02015200, 15XR0687NA, RX185279294000000] Notice of Availability for the Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report for LongTerm Water Transfers, Central Valley and Bay Area, California Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Bureau of Reclamation and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority have prepared the Long-Term Water Transfers Final Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). The Final EIS/EIR addresses water transfers to Central Valley Project (CVP) contractors south of the Delta and in the San Francisco Bay area from CVP and non-CVP sources from north of the Delta using Delta pumps (both CVP and State Water Project (SWP) facilities). Water transfers could occur through various methods such as groundwater substitution, cropland idling, reservoir release, and conservation, and could include individual and multiyear transfers from 2015 through 2024. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00126 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Reclamation will not make a decision on the proposed action until at least 30 days after the release of the Final EIS/EIR. After the 30-day waiting period, Reclamation will complete a Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD will state the action that will be implemented and will discuss all factors leading to the decision. ADDRESSES: Send written correspondence or requests for copies to Mr. Brad Hubbard, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, CA 95825; or via email to bhubbard@usbr.gov. To request a compact disc of the Final EIS/EIR, please contact Mr. Brad Hubbard as indicated above, or call (916) 978–5204. The Final EIS/EIR may be viewed at the Bureau of Reclamation’s Web site at https:// www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_ projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=18361. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for locations where copies of the Final EIS/ EIR are available for public review. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Brad Hubbard, Project Manager, Bureau of Reclamation, via email at bhubbard@ usbr.gov, or at (916) 978–5204; or Ms. Frances Mizuno, Assistant Executive Director, San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, via email at frances.mizuno@sldmwa.org, or at (209) 832–6200. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Hydrologic conditions, climatic variability, and regulatory requirements for operation of water projects commonly affect water supply availability in California. Project supplies are often the primary source of water for south of Delta users, and the complex factors constraining operational decisions not only strain total annual water supplies, but regularly create mismatched timing between planting decisions and announcement of final water supply allocations, making advance planning for water shortages necessary and routine. These conditions and resulting shortages create a need for water transfers to help meet water demands. The purpose of the Long-Term Water Transfers EIS/EIR is to facilitate voluntary water transfers from willing sellers upstream of the Delta to water users south of the Delta and in the San Francisco Bay Area. The maximum approvable quantity transferable to any contractor cannot exceed that contractor’s total contract supply, but instead helps to make up for shortages. Such transfers need to be implementable within narrow annual windows for decisions on each end and flexible enough to address highly DATES: E:\FR\FM\20MRN1.SGM 20MRN1
