Document Description
The project involves changing four existing water rights to add new places and purpose of use and new points of diversion or re-diversion. Included are: water right license No. 2184 for Weber Reservoir and three pre-1914 appropriative rights on Weber Creek (Farmer's Free Ditch), Slab Creek (Summerfield Ditch), and Hangtown Creek (Gold Hill Ditch). EID would keep diversions closed on the creeks to allow natural flows and released stored water from Weber Reservoir to continue downstream to Folsom Reservoir. The project would add the El Dorado Hills Raw Water Pump Station at Folsom Reservoir as an authorized point of re-diversion; add areas served or to be served by EID in El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park as authorized places of use; add fish, wildlife, and recreation uses within Weber Creek as authorized purposes of use; add municipal, industrial, and fire protection as authorized purposes of use; and add the El Dorado Hills / Cameron Park areas as authorized places of use. Operational improvements include managing Weber Reservoir as agreed with the State of California and the California Department of Fish and Game to maintain a minimum storage at Weber Reservoir and providing minimum releases to Weber Creek to protect and enhance fish and wildlife conditions. No physical changes to the environment are proposed. Only minor operational changes to EID's existing system would be necessary.
