Projects that align with the IRP findings will be evaluated through a Programmatic

Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) in mid-2016. In addition, as funding opportunities become

available, specific project cost and environmental assessments will be conducted as needed,

particularly in relation to the regional benefit of the proposed actions. Phase 2 of the IRP will

include detailed project level analysis including project scopes, costs, prioritization, and

implementation process. IEUA staff greatly appreciated the engagement and assistance of

member agency staff through the development of the 2015 IRP.

The item will be brought forward in May 2016 to obtain consensus on the core recommendations

and commence the PEIR. At the conclusion of the PEIR, the IRP will then be brought back in

fall 2016 for adoption by the Board of Directors.

The development of the 2015 IRP is consistent with the Agency’s Business Goal of increasing

Water Reliability by meeting the region’s need to develop reliable, drought-proof and diverse

local water resources in order to reduce dependence on imported water supplies.

PRIOR BOARD ACTION

None.

IMPACT ON BUDGET

There is no direct impact on the budget as a result of the adoption of the IRP.
