The Bureau of Reclamation and California Department of Water Resources are jointly preparing an environmental impact statement/environmental impact report (EIS/EIR) for the proposed Sites Reservoir Project (previously know as North-of-the-Delta Offstream Storage Project), pursuant to the CALFED Bay-Delta Program Programmatic EIS/EIR Record of Decision. The NODOS EIS/EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts of offstream surface water storage projects in the upper Sacramento River Basin. If the project is implemented, DOE’s Western Area Power Administration, a cooperating agency, could provide power to project facilities and could market hydropower generated by the project.
