Temporary Water Transfer from Sugar Pine Reservoir

The Foresthill Public Utility District is managing a project for the temporary, one-time transfer of 2,000 acre-feet of stored water from the Sugar Pine Reservoir. This water is designated for Central Valley Project and/or State Water Project Contractors located south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The project is situated at the Sugar Pine Dam and North Shirttail Canyon Creek in Foresthill, Placer County, California. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 221310 and is statutorily exempt from environmental review under CCR section 15282(u) and CA Water Code section 1729. This exemption is based on the determination that the project uses existing facilities, does not induce growth, and does not establish a new permanent source of water supply, resulting in no environmental impacts. Administrative oversight is provided by General Manager Henry N. White.
