<br />[lu3...4Q <br /> <br />Senate Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources <br />Assembly Committee on Water, Parks, and Wildlife <br />Page 5 <br />August 31, 2001 <br /> <br />critical path for satisfaction of conditions precedent is again the environmental reviews and the <br />subsequent SWRCB water transfer petition review process for the IID/SDCW A and the <br />IID/CVWD/MWD option water transfers.
