From the Bureau of Reclamation:
Reclamation proposes to approve the transfer of up to 7,500 AF of Stockton East 2021 allocated CVP water to San Luis Delta and Mendota Water Authority (Recipients). Under the transfer, Stockton East would not take delivery of the 7,500 AF of its 2021 allocated CVP water previously scheduled for diversion from New Melones Reservoir. Rather, the CVP water would be diverted by Reclamation at Jones Pumping Plant for delivery to the Recipients.
In lieu of the transferred water, Stockton East would use up to 7,500 AF of its previously stored water in New Hogan Reservoir to meet in-district needs. Reclamation would also execute a refill agreement with Stockton East and California Department of Water Resources to ensure that New Melones Reservoir levels are not impacted during refill of New Hogan Reservoir.
Comments are due by August 5, 2021.
