Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 212 Department of Water Resources- Bethany Dams Improvement Project To ensure the long-term safety and operations of the State Water Project, DWR will conduct additional vegetation removal in the drainage ditches at Dams 1 and 2, remove accumulated sediment blocking the culvert in the drainage ditch at Dam 3, repair existing rodent burrow damage on the dam faces, establish a long-term, sustainable program of effective rodent control to reduce or eliminate further burrowing within the dam embankments, and perform annual maintenance to repair new rodent burrow damage at the four Bethany Reservoir Dams. This project is located near Tracy, California in Alameda County. The IS/MND for this project was filed on August 13, 2018. A NOD was filed on September 18, 2019. Department of Water Resources- Old Banks Landfill Cap Project DWR is proposing to conduct the Old Banks Landfill Cap Project to cap the Old Banks Landfill (also known as the Harvey O. Banks Pumping Plant Landfill) in order to address concerns related to Landfill debris exposure raised by the Contra Costa County Health Department (CCCHD). This proposed project is located approximately 9 miles northwest of the city of Tracy and 12 miles northeast of the city of Livermore in Contra Costa County. Landfill debris concerns would be addressed by DWR by confining the Landfill materials and preventing the Landfill contents from being exposed by rodent activities, as well as improving surface drainage, and minimizing future maintenance. Project activities include clearing existing vegetation, removing the upper 2 to 4 inches of topsoil of the Landfill crown, grading the existing Landfill crown by adding fill soil materials in localized areas in order to bring the site to grade, placing a commercially available rodent control barrier material, placing a 1-foot thick surface layer on top of the rodent control fill fabric to protect it, and returning the project site to near pre-project conditions by hydroseeding. A Notice of Completion (NOC) for an IS/MND was filed on October 25, 2019. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation- Reinitiation of Consultation on the Coordinated Long-Term Operation of the Central Valley Project Under the proposed project, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation prepared an Environmental Impact Statement to analyze potential modifications to the continued long-term operation of the Central Valley Project (CVP), for its authorized purposes, in a coordinated manner with the SWP, for its authorized purposes. This EIS evaluates alternatives to maximize water supply deliveries and optimizes marketable power generation consistent with applicable laws, contractual obligations, and agreements and to augment operational flexibility by addressing the status of listed species. This proposed project crosses multiple county lines, including, but not limited to, Sacramento, Solano, Yolo, Contra Costa, Alameda, and San Joaquin counties. Public review for the Draft EIS closed on August 26, 2019.
