Title

Permanent Transfer of SWP Table A Water from Dudley Ridge WD to Tulare Lake Basin WSD

Description

The Dudley Ridge Water District (DRWD) and the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District (TLBWSD) are agricultural water purveyors with water supply contracts with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for surface water supplies from State Water Project (SWP). In 2001 DWR approved Amendment 24 to DRWD's water supply contract and Amendment 26 to TLBWSD's water supply contract, which transferred, on a permanent basis, 3,973 acre-feet (AF) of TLBWSD's annual SWP Table A water to DRWD. The landowner and farming operation (Sandridge Partners) associated with the 2001 transfer desires to permanently transfer the water back from their lands in DRWD to their lands in TLBWSD. The boards of directors of both districts have agreed to support the transfer of the transfer of the SWP Table A water as requested by Sandridge Partners.
