Addendum No. 2 to the Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report for the Sweetwater Reservoir Recreation Master Plan – Shared Maintenance Road and Trail (SMRT)

The Authority, as a Lead Agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is proposing to modify the use of an existing and already graded and maintained 2.2-mile long maintenance road currently closed to the public, and add certain recreational opportunities to it, including non-motorized cycling (i.e. mountain biking) and hiking, for the enjoyment of the community. The proposed shared maintenance road/trail would connect with the Sweetwater Reservoir Recreation Area and the County’s “Riding and Hiking Trail”. For more information, please see documents below. Comments on the proposed action will be received via email (environmental@sweetwater.org) and are due on June 12, 2024.

Addendum No. 1 to the Environmental Impact Report for the Robert A. Perdue Water Treatment Plant Master Plant Master Plan for Future Plant Facilities – Sweetwater Reservoir Aeration and Destratification System

The Authority, as a Lead Agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is proposing to adopt an Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Robert A. Perdue Water Treatment Plant Master Plant Master Plan for Future Plant Facilities and install a new aeration and destratification system in Sweetwater Reservoir to improve water quality in the reservoir, reduce treatment costs at the Perdue Water Treatment Plant, and expand yield from the reservoir. The aeration system would provide more consistent/healthy levels of dissolved oxygen and improved water quality throughout the water column. For more information, please see documents below. Comments on the proposed action will be received via email (environmental@sweetwater.org) and are due on August 12, 2024. Please contact Israel Marquez, Land and Environmental Manager, with any questions you may have (imarquez@sweetwater.org).
