Public Notice
Sacramento, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation is announcing that Central Valley Project water contractors subject to water management plans must resume annual reporting. That requirement was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Central Valley Project Improvement Act requires water contractors using 2,000 acre-feet or more to develop and submit a plan on the efficient use of water resources. The plan must be updated and reviewed every five years and deemed adequate for fulfilling the terms of their water contract. The requirements are specified in the standard criteria developed by the California-Great Basin Region.
Once a plan is developed and deemed adequate by Reclamation, contractors must submit yearly updates on the implementation of the plan. For 2023, annual update requirements are due by Aug. 30, 2023, for the previous year only. Annual updates may be submitted either in a fiscal year or a water year format.
