California <br />(the Decree)), the Colorado River Basin <br />Project Act of 1968 (CRBPA) and Long <br /> <br />Range Operating Criteria (LROC) <br />pursuant to the CRBP A. Within this <br />legal framework. the Secretary makes <br />annual determinations regarding the <br />availability of surplus water from Lake <br />Mead by considering various factors. <br />including the amount of water in storage <br />and predictions for natural runoff. The <br />Decree provides that if there exists <br />sufficient water available in a single <br />year for release from Lake Mead to <br />satisfy annual consumptive use in the <br />states of Arizona, California, and <br />Nevada in excess of 7.5 million-acre <br />feet, such water may be determined by <br />the Secretary to be made available as <br />surplus water. <br />The purpose of and need for <br />establishing interim surplus criteria is to <br />assist the Secretary in making annual <br />determinations of surplus conditions. <br />and will afford entities that have <br />contracted for surplus water a greater <br />degree of predictability with respect to <br />the annual existence of surplus water <br />available for diversion. This greater <br />predictability would assist these entities <br />in the management of their water <br />resources. <br />The DEIS presents four possible <br />alternatives for implementation. plus a <br />"No Action Alternative." The DEIS does <br />not include a preferred alternative. The <br />interim surplus criteria alternatives <br />have been formulated to be consistent <br />with applicable federal law and the <br />LROC, described above. <br />The four potential action alternatives <br />are: a "Flood Control Alternative," <br />which would provide surplus water <br />only when flood control releases from <br />Lake Mead are needed, based on tbe <br />current criteria for making such <br />releases; the "Six States Alternative" <br />and "California Alternative," both of <br />which specify various Lake Mead water <br />surface elevations to be used as <br />"triggers" to indicate when surplus <br />conditions exist; and the "Shortage <br />Protection Alternative," which would <br />permit surplus conditions to be <br />determined above a specific elevation <br />positioned to ensure enough water <br />remains in Lake Mead to provide a one- <br />year water supply to Arizona. <br />California, Nevada, and Mexico, and to <br />protect against dropping the lake's water <br />ievei below a specified elevation. <br />Libraries Where the Draft EIS is <br />A vailable for Public Inspection and <br />Review: <br />.
