WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD The District is proposing construction of the Fibreboard Well project. Prior to starting construction activities, the District is required to complete an environmental review of the proposed site in compliance with CEQA. 2. HISTORY The 2004 Water Master Plan identified a planned well site south of Interstate 80 just east of the Fibreboard Undercrossing and adjacent to the maintenance center for the Old Greenwood golf course. The District acquired an easement from East-West Partners at this location as part of the Gray's Crossing project. This location is shown in Figure 1. The project involves drilling of a new water supply well and construction of the associated well building, site piping and electrical service. In November 2006, the Board approved a contract with Inland Ecosystems to prepare an Initial Study associated with the CEQA review of the Fibreboard Well project. On January 17, the Board approved the CEQA Initial Study. The Initial Study was then circulated to responsible and interested agencies as well as to the State Clearinghouse and the Nevada County Clerk. On February 7, 2007, the Board held a public hearing to receive written and oral comment regarding the project. No comments were received at the public hearing. 3.

Attached with this memorandum are the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and Notice of Determination.
