from the BLM for its existing
groundwater replenishment facility in
North Palm Springs that is partially
located on public lands managed by the
BLM. The BLM issued the Final
Environmental Impact Statement on

consideration of the environmental
impacts, the BLM selects Alternative 1:
Proposed Action (Selected Alternative).
Consistent with 43 CFR 2801.10, this
decision remains in effect pending
appeal. The Selected Alternative would
issue CVWD a ROW grant for existing
water control berms, intake structures,
conveyance structures, and 19
infiltration ponds over approximately
690 acres of BLM-managed public lands.
The facility also includes 1,480 acres of
lands held by CVWD. The Selected
Alternative increases water recharge
volumes to 511,000-acre feet per year of
water, which represents the full annual
capacity of the facility.
This decision may be appealed to the
Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA),
Office of the Secretary, in accordance
