What is the subsidence potential for hitting various unknowns such as sand lenses?
June 15, 2020Heritage would be an important factor to add to the siting ranking criteria. In one of the previous meetings a comment was made about staying out of environmental considerations. How can at least some high-level aspects of environmental considerations be completely disregarded in the ranking of potential sites?
June 15, 2020Alternatives are developed by DWR as part of completion of the EIR in accordance with CEQA, including consideration of scoping comments. Scoping comments will inform the development of alternatives. At this time, DWR has only asked DCA to evaluate the proposed project corridors specified in the NOP. Because it is more cost-effective to evaluate different flow capacities at one time, DWR also asked DCA to evaluate a flow capacity of 6,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and three different flow capacities as alternatives (3,000; 4,500 and 7,500 cfs). However, it is not a commitment that the alternate flow capacities will be analyzed in detail as alternatives.
