<br />O(Ju521 <br /> <br />December 17, 1997 <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Policy Act. An Agreement between the two agencies was released for public <br /> <br /> <br />review on December 11, 1997. When this Agreement becomes effective, it <br /> <br />is assumed that conservation measures would be implemented to make <br /> <br />20,000 acre-feet of conserved water available the first year and that <br /> <br />measures would be implemented in each subsequent year to annually <br />conserve an additional 20,000 acre-feet. Thus, once implementation <br /> <br />begins, there would be a 10-year build-up to achieve the objective of <br /> <br /> <br />conserving 200,000 acre-feet of water per year. <br /> <br />o Seeoaae Recoverv - All-American & Coachella Canals - The Plan includes <br /> <br /> <br />measures to prevent seepage from the two canals, 68,000 acre-feet/year <br /> <br />and 26,000 acre-feet/year, respectively. The "Final Environmental Impact <br /> <br />Statement/Final Environmental Impact Report for the All-American Canal <br /> <br /> <br />Lining Project" was completed in March 1994. In its Record of Decision <br /> <br /> <br />issued on July 29,1994, the Bureau of Reclamation decided to construct a <br /> <br /> <br />concrete lined canal, parallel to 23 miles of the All-American Canal from the <br /> <br />vicinity of Pilot Knob to Drop 3. The water savings from this project, <br /> <br />estimated to be 68,000 acre-feet per year, were based upon the Bureau of <br /> <br />Reclamation's conclusions contained in its March 1987 "All-American Canal <br /> <br />Relocation Study: Hydrologic Appendix" and its March 1994 "Final <br /> <br />Environmental Impact Statement/Final Environmental Impact Report for the <br /> <br />All-American Canal Lining Project: Geohydrology Appendix." The <br /> <br />environmental documentation for this project has been completed in <br /> <br />c:\...144p1rv17.wpd <br /> <br />8 <br />
