overdraft, MID proposes to implement the WSEP. MID would bank CVP water

    The Draft EIS considered the direct, indirect, and cumulative 
effects on the physical, natural, and human environment that may result 
from the construction and operation of a water bank on Madera Ranch.
    The Draft EIS addressed potentially significant environmental 
issues and recommends adequate and feasible mitigation measures to 
reduce or eliminate significant environmental impacts. The Draft EIS 
examined three banking alternatives as well as the no action 
alternative. A public meeting was held on August 27, 2009, in Madera, 
California.
    The Final EIS includes a new alternative that was developed as a 
result of comments received on the Draft EIS. This alternative (Reduced 
Alternative B) represents a scaled-back version of Alternative B that 
uses fewer swales to minimize effects to vernal pools and limits the 
number of recharge basins to the number needed for the project to be 
practicable.
