SACRAMENTO, California – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District announced that it will host its fourth public workshop — and the first in person meeting — discussing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Delta Tunnel Project on March 1 in Stockton.

“The 90-minute open house-style workshop will allow the public an opportunity to learn more about USACE’s review of the Delta Conveyance Project, including what the proposed project entails, USACE’s role on the proposed project, and the process USACE follows for assessing permit applications,” according to the Army Corps. “Attendees will also be able to ask questions to USACE subject matter experts and provide public comments on the Draft EIS that is currently out for public review until March 16, 2023. No formal presentation will be given during the open house workshop.”

“The Draft EIS analyzes the environmental effects of construction of the California Department of Water Resources’ proposal to construct new State Water Project water diversion and conveyance facilities in the Delta consisting of two intake facilities on the Sacramento River, a 45-mile-long tunnel section, a pumping plant and surge basin south of Clifton Court Forebay, and a 2.5-mile aqueduct to a new discharge facility at Bethany Reservoir. The USACE scope of review for the draft EIS is the construction of the entire project and maintenance of the new portions of the levee system,” according to the USACE.

Three previous virtual public meetings were held on January 10, January 12, and January 18. More than 170 attendees participated in the three previous virtual meetings.

The original 60-day public comment period has been extended an additional 30 days and all public comments on the Draft EIS are now due by March 16, 2023.
