North Drainage Canal (NDC) Lift Pump Station Project

North Drainage Canal (NDC) Lift Pump Station Project

The project consists of construction and operation of a new tailwater recovery lift pump station with 120-cubic foot per second capacity on the Sankey Canal near the NDC, allowing for reuse of agricultural tailwater accumulated in the RD 1000 drainage canal system. The project would be constructed by the Natomas Central Mutual Water Company within an existing NCMWC-owned and -maintained canal and access road. B/c this property will be transferred to RD 1000 in the future, NCMWC is seeking an encroachment permit from RD 1000. RD 1000, in connection with its consideration of the encroachment permit application, is the CEQA lead agency. The US Bureau of Reclamation is providing a WaterSMART Small-Scale Water Efficiency Project grant to the NCMWC and is the NEPA lead agency.
