Program EIR

Water Recycling Expansion Project EIR

A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) consultant will prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on the Water Recycling Expansion Project for consideration by the public and decision-makers.  The near-term improvements, including the two recycled water tanks east of Adobe, will be evaluated at a project-level, while the remainder of the proposed improvements such as lands to be irrigated and distribution pipelines will be evaluated at a program-level.
