It seems there is always something happening related to Valley Water’s Pacheco Reservoir project. In April, the Sierra Club and others submitted comments about the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for geotechnical investigations. On May 21st, the California Water Commission will discuss progress to date on the project to help them decide whether to allocate additional funding. Then, on June 10th or 24th the Valley Water Board of Directors will receive an update on the project which will focus on how Pacheco fits into their Water Supply Master Plan (WSMP), and on their progress on finding project partners. Our letter on the Draft EIR for geotechnical investigations asked for additional information about access to the approximately 200 exploration locations, many of which will be accessed off-road by vehicle or by helicopter.
