Delta-Mendota Canal Subsidence Correction Project Draft Environmental Assessment/ Initial Study

Delta-Mendota Canal Subsidence Correction Project Draft Environmental Assessment/ Initial Study

This Environmental Assessment (EA)/Initial Study (IS) and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) analyzes the environmental impacts of restoring the Delta-Mendota Canal (DMC) to its originally authorized conveyance capacity (proposed project). The project analyzed in this EA/IS would raise currently deficient canal lining, embankment, and other impacted structures to allow the DMC to convey its originally authorized capacity while satisfying current Bureau of Reclamation safety standards. Project effects would occur within Alameda, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Fresno, San Benito and Santa Clara counties.
