Department of Water Resources
November 2019 - SCH#2019049121

The California State Water Project (SWP) extends from east of Redding to the Mexican border, a distance of about 700 miles. The SWP is the nation's largest constructed water delivery system, serving more than 27M people and irrigating 750,000 acres of farmland.

The proposed future SWP operations incorporate the current status of threatened and endangered species and new scientific information aobut the Sacramento Delta ecosystem and its relationship to water operations. The project is expected to improve long-term SWP operations and enhance environmental protection.

No significant environmental impacts have been identified for the project, so no mitigation measures are required.

Draft EIR - San Jose International Airport Master Plan Amendment

City of San Jose
November 2019 - SCH#2018102020

San Jose International Airport (SJIA), located at the south end of San Francisco Bay, is one of 3 major airports serving the Bay Area. Passenger volume is expected to increase from about 14M passengers in 2018 to about 23M passengers in 2037, a 57% increase over the next 20 years.

Amendments to the Airport Master Plan would include: a new parking garage, expanded terminal facilities, a new 330-room hotel, 650,000 sf of new air cargo facilities, and a doubling of airport fuel storage capacity from 2 million to 4 million gallons.

Impacts on air quality and greenhouse gases are expected to be significant and unmitigable. Impacts on biological resources also would be substantial, but would be mitigated.
