The Department of Water Resources (DWR) initiated the planning for the Delta Conveyance Project in early 2020 and is pursuing numerous environmental compliance and permitting processes that must be completed prior to construction and operation of the Delta Conveyance Project.
All information and updates related to these processes can be found on www.deltaconveyanceproject.com, including all of the relevant CEQA information, such as the Certified Final Environmental Impact Report and decision documents.
The Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), subsequent addenda and modified Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for soil investigations in the Delta have been adopted. This project includes data collection, soil samples and surveys in support of DWR’s efforts to better understand the region’s geology to support the future evaluation of potential activities, including the proposed Delta Conveyance Project. Google Earth (kmz) files of the proposed soil investigations locations may be requested by emailing deltaconveyance@water.ca.gov.
