Water Supply Management Program 2040 Notice of Preparation EBMUD is currently preparing a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for its Water Supply Management Program (WSMP) 2040. The primary purpose of WSMP 2040 is to identify solutions to meet EBMUD’s dry-year water needs through 2040. WSMP 2040 is currently being prepared and will present water demand projections through 2040, as well as alternatives comprised of various water supply components to meet those projected demands. The WSMP 2040 PEIR will evaluate the environmental impacts of the alternatives, which include water conservation measures, recycled water projects, supplemental water supplies, and various levels of rationing that could be implemented during drought periods. As required by CEQA, a
Notice of Preparation
(NOP) has been
issued, and is available as
Portable Document Format (PDF) file,
which can be viewed & printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free software.
The comment period for the NOP ended on July 31, 2008. EBMUD held public meetings in May and July to seek public and agency input on the alternatives, issues, and concerns to be addressed in the Program EIR. EBMUD estimates that a Draft PEIR will be available for public review in November 2008.
