variable shortages and annual
differences in farming decisions north
and south of the Delta.
The EIS/EIR analyzes four alternative
actions. Alternative 1 is No Action.
Alternative 2, Full Range of Transfers, is
the Proposed Action. This alternative
combines all potential transfer measures
that met the purpose and need and were
carried forward through the screening
process. Alternative 3, No Cropland
Modifications, includes conservation,
groundwater substitution, and reservoir
release. Alternative 4, No Groundwater
Substitution, includes conservation,
cropland idling transfers— rice, field
and grains, crop shifting, and reservoir
release.
Transfers of CVP supplies and
transfers that require use of CVP
facilities are subject to review by the
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) in
accordance with the Central Valley
Project Improvement Act of 1992,
Reclamation’s water transfer guidelines,
and California State law. Pursuant to
Federal and State law and subject to
separate written agreement, Reclamation
and the Department of Water Resources
would facilitate water transfers
involving CVP contract water supplies
and CVP and SWP facilities. Buyers and
sellers would be responsible for
negotiating the terms of the transfers,
including amount of water for transfer,
method to make water available, and
price.
The EIS/EIR identifies potential
selling parties in northern California,
methods by which water could be made
available for transfer, and maximum
amounts of water available through each
method. The EIS/EIR also identifies
potential purchasing agencies south of
the Delta and the proposed use of
transfer water.
The EIS/EIR analyzes alternative
transfer methods to make water
available through operational flexibility
of the existing system. Groundwater
substitution transfers occur when sellers
forego diversion of their surface water
supplies and pump an equivalent
amount of groundwater as an alternative
supply. The purchasing agency would
receive the foregone surface water
supply. The quantity of water available
for transfer would account for potential
stream flow losses as a result of
groundwater-surface water interaction.
Cropland idling would make water
available for transfer that would have
been used for agricultural irrigation
without the transfer. Typically, the
proceeds from the water transfer would
pay farmers to idle land that they would
have placed in production. Reservoir
release transfers would involve
releasing water from non-Project entities

(not part of the CVP or SWP) for transfer
that would have otherwise remained in
storage. Conservation transfers involve
actions to reduce the diversion of
surface water by the transferring entity
by reducing irrecoverable water losses.
Water transfers under the Proposed
Action involving conveyance through
the Delta would be implemented within
the operational parameters of the
existing system, which includes
Biological Opinions on the Continued
Long-term Operations of the CVP/SWP
and any other regulatory restrictions in
place at the time of implementation of
the water transfers. Current operational
parameters applicable to the transfer
water include use of the SWP’s Harvey
O. Banks Pumping Plant and CVP’s
C.W. ‘‘Bill’’ Jones Pumping Plant during
July through September only.
