Dear Reviewer:
In accordance with provisions ofthe National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and the California Public Utilities Agency (CPUC) encloses for your review the joint Draft
Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/EIS) for the proposed Monterey
Peninsula Water Supply Project.
A permit application was submitted by California American Water Company for construction and
operation of its proposed Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP or Project). The purpose of
the MPWSP is to replace existing water supplies for CalAm's Monterey District service area. The
MPWSP comprises various facilities and improvements, including: a sub-surface seawater intake system;
a 9.6-million-gallons-per-day (mgd) seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant; desalinated
water storage and conveyance facilities; and expanded Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) facilities.
On August 25, 2015, a Notice oflntent was issued to prepare a draft environmental impact statement
(DEIS) for the MPWSP. During the NEP A scoping period, MBNMS held a scoping meeting in Pacific
Grove on September 10, 2015 to discuss the proposed project and to solicit public input as to the scope
and content ofthe EIR/EIS. CPUC issued a Notice of Preparation for the previous MPWSP Draft EIR on
April30, 2015, for a 60-day review period and held public meetings.
This environmental document identifies and assesses potential environmental impacts associated with the
proposed Project, and identifies six alternatives. Federal and state agencies would use the EIRIEIS to
consider related permits or other approvals for the Project as proposed.
The DEIRIEIS will be released on January 13, 2017, and any comments received during the 45-day
comment period will be reviewed and considered for their input for the Final EIRIEIS issuance. The
comment period will close on February 27, 2017.
The CPUC and MBNMS will host three (3) public meetings to facilitate review of the DEIR/EIS:
1) Wednesday, February 15, 11:00-1:00 pm, Marina Public Library, Community Meeting Room,
188 Seaside Ave., Marina, CA 93933
2) Wednesday, February 15, 6:00-8:00, Oldemeyer Center, Seaside Room, 986 Hilby Ave., Seaside,
CA 93955
3) Thursday, February 16, 4:00-8:00 pm, Sunset Center, Carpenter Hall, San Carlos Street, Carmel,
CA 93921
Written comments will be accepted until February 27, 2017 and can be submitted online or through the
mail to the agency officials identified below.
