Addendum to the Reclamation District 784 Master Drainage Plan and Drainage Plan for Watershed A

Reclamation District 784 (RD784) adopted a mitigated negative declaration for the original Master Drainage Plan in 2002 (SCH# 2003012005). RD784 proposed minor changes to the original plan in 2003 and examined the impacts of those changes in another mitigated negative declaration adopted in 2003 (SCH# 2003012005). The current project involves the examination of the earlier mitigated negative declarations to determine if the completion of the improvements contemplated in the earlier MNDs require additional environmental review or need to be updated. The improvements examined involve the completion of Lateral 16, the construction of a new channel adjacent to Lateral 5, the completion of the construction of the Linear Detention Basin, the installation of the Clark Slough culvert, the construction of the Cross Channel to connect the Linear Detention Basin to Lateral 16, the construction of the Off-site Detention Basin adjacent to Clark Slough, and the refurbishment of Pump Station No. 2. After consideration of the previous MNDs, evaluation of the environmental impacts identified and mitigated for in those documents, review of the work remaining to be done, and evaluating State CEQA Guideline section 15162, RD784 has determined that no changes to the described work are necessary, no new significant environmental impacts have been identified, and no new mitigation measures are warranted. Therefore, an addendum to the MNDs has been approved and will be attached to the MNDs as provided for and consistent with State CEQA Guideline section 15164.
