users. It is currently difficult to reliably fill or replace losses in Indian Creek Reservoir during drought years. By storing water for later release, the pool elevation can be maintained longer in the season thereby increasing fishery habitat quality, and recreational opportunity. Water releases from Indian Creek Reservoir can be conveyed to downstream users via Indian Creek and the East Fork of the Carson River. Indian Creek Reservoir has capacity to provide seasonal storage for freshwater diverted from the West Fork of the Carson River and Indian Creek. As a means of providing freshwater resources later in the growing season, or in the winter months when the river is low, Alpine Decree water rights may be transferred to storage in Indian Creek Reservoir and released at a later time for agriculture or municipal and industrial demands. This process could require approval by the U.S. District Court Water Master, and the Nevada State Engineer. The negotiations require the determination of conveyance paths and transmission losses, and demonstrate that storage operations would not hinder existing water rights holders, or violate provisions of the Decree. Additionally, reviews in other Federal Courts may be required. 12.4 Potential Temporary and Permanent Freshwater Right Transfers Transfer of District freshwater rights from Diamond Valley Ranch to Indian Creek Reservoir allows for increased operational flexibility. For example, a temporary transfer of water rights could occur with approvals during construction of the irrigation fields in Diamond Valley. In addition, if a rancher applying recycled water opts out of his agreement, an increase in recycled water application could occur on Diamond Valley Ranch and the District could possibly transfer water rights from the ranch to Indian Creek. Finally, for wet year seasonal cycles, recycled water could be removed from Harvey Place Reservoir to keep it from overflowing and could be applied to Diamond Valley Ranch; this also could result in a temporary transfer of water rights from the ranch to Indian Creek Reservoir. A permanent transfer of water rights from Diamond Valley Ranch to Indian Creek Reservoir could occur when the ranch is converted fully to recycled water irrigation. .

Section 13: Master Plan Implementation and Summary Recommendations The Master Plan is a guidance manual to provide the District with ideas for infrastructure and management projects to be implemented to keep pace with the changing environment in the Lake Tahoe Basin and Alpine County. Implementation of master plan projects will adhere to and comply with the standard practices and the Mitigation and Monitoring Plan provided in Appendix D of the Certified Environmental Impact Report accompanying this master plan. The standard practices are based on existing and on-going District policies and programs or are required by law. The standard practices are detailed in Appendix D of the Certified Environmental Impact Report and include the following 35 separate standard practices. SP-1 Dam Safety SP-2 Standard Traffic Control Procedures SP-3 Emergency Response Vehicles Will Not be Impacted SP-4 Maintain Maximum Number of Open Lanes on Roadways SP-5 Avoid Traffic Disruption on Major Highways SP-6 Fence or Cover Trenches SP-7 Access to Businesses and Residences SP-8 Repair Road Damage and Revegetate Temporarily Disturbed Areas SP-9 Park Within Construction Easements SP-10 Limit Ingress/Egress of Construction Equipment SP-11 Erosion Control/Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan SP-12 Standard Noise Control Practices - Construction Phase SP-13 Standard Noise Control Practices - Operation Phase SP-14 Standard Air Quality Practices - Construction Phase SP-15 Standard Air Quality Practices - Operation Phase SP-16 Slope Stabilization Design SP-17 Pipeline Design Features in Active Fault Zones SP-18 Liquefaction Stabilization Design SP-19 Standard Engineering Methods for Expansive Soils SP-20 Standard Engineering Methods for Corrosive Soils SP-21 Temporary Containment and Impoundment Siting Design SP-22 Mosquito Prevention SP-23 Delineate Wetlands, Waters of the United States, and Riparian Habitat SP-24 Prepared Wetland and Riparian Mitigation and Monitoring Plan SP-25 Sensitive Resource Program SP-26 Sensitive Plant Projection SP-27 Avoid Impacts to Wetland and Riparian Habitats SP-28 Remove Weak Surficial Deposits from Basin Footprints SP-29 Management of Hazardous Materials/Waste During Construction SP-30 Pre-Construction Surveys for Nesting Raptors and Wildlife Nurseries SP-31 Pre-Construction Marking and Fencing of Sensitive Native Plant Communities SP-32 Pre-Construction Marking and Fencing of Wetlands and Riparian Habitat SP-33 Surface and Groundwater Protection Plan SP-34 Application of Temporary Containment Infrastructure Maintenance and Monitoring SP-35 Conveyance Infrastructure Maintenance Plan South Tahoe Public Utility District Recycled Water Facilities Master Plan - October 2009 Page 13-89
