SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
inviting the public to comment on our
preliminary (i.e., draft) determination of
Plan adequacy. Section 3405(e) of the
CVPIA (Title 34 Pub. L. 102–575),
requires the Secretary of the Interior to
establish and administer an office on
Central Valley Project water
conservation best management practices
that shall ‘‘* * * develop criteria for
evaluating the adequacy of all water
conservation plans developed by project
contractors, including those plans
required by section 210 of the
Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.’’ Also,
according to Section 3405(e)(1), these
criteria must be developed ‘‘* * * with
the purpose of promoting the highest
level of water use efficiency reasonably
achievable by project contractors using
best available cost-effective technology
and best management practices.’’ These
criteria state that all parties
(Contractors) that contract with
Reclamation for water supplies
(municipal and industrial contracts over
2,000 acre-feet and agricultural
contracts over 2,000 irrigable acres)
must prepare Plans that contain the
following information:
1. Description of the District.
2. Inventory of Water Resources.
3. Best Management Practices (BMPs)
for Agricultural Contractors.
4. BMPs for Urban Contractors.
5. Plan Implementation.
6. Exemption Process.
7. Regional Criteria.
8. Five-Year Revisions.
Reclamation will evaluate Plans based
on these criteria. A copy of these Plans
will be available for review at
Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific (MP)
Regional Office located in Sacramento,
California, and the local area office. Our
practice is to make comments, including
names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. Individual respondents may
request that Reclamation withhold their
home address from public disclosure,
and we will honor such request to the
extent allowable by law. There also may
be circumstances in which Reclamation
would elect to withhold a respondent’s
identity from public disclosure, as
allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comments. We will
make all submissions from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
response to the Central Valley Project
Improvement Act of 1992 and a 1995
Department of the Interior
administrative review process, the
Interagency Coordinated Program for
Wetland and Water Use Planning (ICP)
was formed. The ICP was comprised of
representatives from the Bureau of
Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the California Department of
Fish and Game, and the Grassland
Water District/Grassland Resource
Conservation District. The ICP
developed the 1998 Task Force Report,
which outlines past, present, and future
wetland planning and management
issues and a methodology for Refuge
Criteria. To continue the work of the
now disbanded ICP, an Interagency
Refuge Water Management Team
(IRWMT) was formed to continue
working on wetland issues such as
water delivery, including additional
work on wetland Refuge Criteria. The
IRWMT is also comprised of
representatives from the Bureau of
Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the California Department of
Fish and Game, and the Grassland
Water District/Grassland Resource
Conservation District. The IRWMT used
the 1998 Task Force Report and
Reclamation’s 1999 Conservation and
Efficiency Criteria as the foundation for
developing the water management
planning requirements or criteria
included in these Refuge Criteria. The
Refuge Criteria also incorporated
comments, ideas, and suggestions from
Refuge/District managers, biologists,
water conservation specialists,
engineers, the CALFED Bay-Delta
Program, and other Central Valley
stakeholders.
Our practice is to make comments,
including names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public
review. Individual respondents may
request that we withhold their home
address from public disclosure, which
we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. There also may be circumstances in
which we would withhold a
respondent’s identity from public
disclosure, as allowable by law. If you
wish us to withhold your name and/or
address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. We will make all submissions
from organizations or businesses, and
from individuals identifying themselves
as representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
