Proposed Action. Under the proposed IA, the Secretary would commit to certain actions required to facilitate implementation of the QSA.8 Chief among these is the change in location of the delivery point of Colorado River water to the QSA parties. The IA would result in a change in the amount of water the Secretary would deliver to MWD’s diversion point at Lake Havasu (above ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam), and CVWD’s and IID’s diversion point at Imperial Dam. In a ‘‘normal’’ year under Art. II(B)(1) of the Decree, in aggregate, deliveries to Imperial Dam would be reduced by as little as approximately 200 to as much as approximately 400 thousand acre-feet (KAF), and this water would instead be delivered to the MWD facility at Lake Havasu. Therefore, there would be a reduction in flow in the Colorado River of this same amount of Colorado River water from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam to Imperial Dam. As part of the QSA, IID would implement agricultural water conservation measures (including land fallowing) to conserve as much as 300 ▇▇▇▇, and an equal amount of Colorado River water would be transferred to SDCWA, CVWD, and/or MWD.
