Kerry Sullivan -2- FEBRUARY 1 3 01 In order for the environmental document to meet the State Board's needs as a Responsible Agency, it should cover or be expanded to address at least the following issues: 1 . Complete description of the proposed diversion and use of water (including source of water, diversion amounts, description of diversion, storage and distribution facilities, and description of type and place of use) . 2. Impacts of the diversion and use of water on downstream water users or instream beneficial uses (fish, wildlife, riparian vegetation, recreation, aesthetics) . 3. Impacts of the project on downstream water quality. 4. Impacts of project construction on aquatic and terrestrial biota (vegetation, invertebrates, fish, wildlife, rare and endangered species). 5. Impacts of project construction or operation on archeological/cultural resources near the diversion, storage or water distribution facilities, or in the place of water use. 6. Cumulative impacts of the project in relation to other existing or proposed projects in the area. 7. Mitigation measures to reduce identified impacts to a level of insignificance. The Lead Agency should send us a copy of the Notice of Determination, final environmental document including comments received and responses to the comments, and a listing of specific mitigation measures adopted, pursuant to Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code, in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects of the project on the environment. The State Board cannot complete processing of the necessary water right application or change petition until these documents have been received and the requirements of CEQA have been fulfilled.
