Notice of Intent: Use of Copper to Control Algae and Aquatic Vegetation In District Facilities

Central California Irrigation District (“CCID”) and Henry Miller Reclamation District (“HMRD”, or collectively “Districts”) propose to apply algaecides and/or aquatic herbicides that contain copper to water within their facilities to control algae and aquatic vegetation. These proposed applications would be made on an as-needed basis to allow for the efficient delivery of irrigation and reclaimed water in the Districts’ facilities in Fresno, Stanislaus, and Merced Counties. Prior to taking final action on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, the Districts will consider public comments on the Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration.  All interested parties are invited to submit written comments to: Henry Miller Reclamation District, Attn: Copper IS/MND Comments, 11704 Henry Miller Ave, Dos Palos, CA 93620.  The Initial Study, proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, and supporting documents are available for public review at the HMRD District office, located at the above address, from 8 AM to 4 PM. Documents are also available for review at the CCID office from 8 AM to 5 PM, at 1335 West I St., Los Banos, CA 93635. The public review period begins on 12/8/2021 and ends on 1/10/2022. Documents will be posted to the State Clearinghouse as well: http://www.ceqanet.ca.gov. All written comments must be received by the close of business on the last day of the review period.
