Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) and the Western
Municipal Water District (Western) have
prepared a Supplemental Draft
Environmental Impact Report and a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(SDEIR/DEIS) for the proposed
Riverside-Corona Feeder (RCF) Project.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the SDEIR/DEIS.
The Federal action will provide funds
for a proposed aquifer storage and
recovery project, including new
groundwater wells and a 28-mile water
pipeline with pump stations and a
reservoir storage tank. The project is
intended to improve the reliability of
Western’s water supply through
managed storage, extraction and
distribution of local and imported water
supplies, using available capacity in the
Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin and the
Chino Basin.
DATES: Submit written comments on the
SDEIR/DEIS by March 22, 2011.

Authority
This notice is provided pursuant to
NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c), and
Department of the Interior regulations
for the implementation of NEPA, 43
CFR Part 46.
Section 9112 of the Omnibus Public
Land Management Act of 2009 (Public
Law 111–11, 123 Stat. 1318), signed by
the President on March 30, 2009,
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior,
in cooperation with Western, to
participate in the planning, design, and
construction of the Riverside-Corona
Feeder Project including: (i) 20
groundwater wells; (ii) groundwater
treatment facilities; (iii) water storage
and pumping facilities; and (iv) 28 miles
of pipeline in San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties in the State of
California.
Background
The proposed project will install up
to 20 groundwater wells in the Bunker
Hill Groundwater Basin, San Bernardino
County, California. Existing recharge
basins will be used to store imported
water and local Santa Ana River flows
in the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin
when supplies are available. The stored
groundwater will be extracted later for
delivery to communities in Western’s
service area in Riverside County,
California, via 28 miles of pipeline
ranging in diameter up to 78 inches,
capable of delivering up to 40,000 acrefeet per year of groundwater at 100
cubic feet per second. The first phase of
the project will also provide access to
groundwater from the Chino Basin in
San Bernardino County.
The currently proposed RCF
alignment is a modification to a project
previously evaluated by Western in
2005 and revised in 2008. The original
project included eight segments,
Reaches A through H, analyzed in the
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Report (PEIR) for the Riverside-Corona

Jkt 223001
Feeder, California State Clearinghouse
(SCH) No. 2003031121, certified by
Western on May 18, 2005. Reaches E, F,
and G were refined slightly in 2007 and
evaluated in the Environmental Impact
Report for the La Sierra Avenue Water
Transmission Pipeline Project (SCH No.
2006101152), certified by Western on
February 20, 2008. Western issued a
Notice of Preparation of a draft
Supplemental Program EIR on July 30,
2008, to evaluate a change in the
pipeline alignment. Reclamation issued
a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement on
February 24, 2010 (75 FR 8395).
The new alignment will not change
the number of wells or the Bunker Hill
groundwater extraction described in the
2005 PEIR, but will now allow Western
to access available groundwater from
existing desalter facilities in Chino
Basin under an approved Optimum
Basin Management Plan. The current
project includes realignment of Reaches
A through D, now referred to as the
Northern and Central Reaches, with
Reach H remaining as proposed in the
original project. The refined alignment
for Reaches E, F, and G will remain
consistent with the approvals in the
2008 EIR.
Additional connection facilities were
added to the project including a new
well field for five (5) of the 20 wells, two
(2) additional pump stations, one (1)
five-million gallon reservoir, and
connecting pipelines.
Reclamation is incorporating the two
previous CEQA Environmental Impact
Reports by reference. They are included
as appendices to the draft SDEIR/DEIS.
