1994 SWRCB Mono Lake Decision 1631 (text) LADWP prepares runoff forecasts for the Mono Basin to assist in determining the amount of water expected to be available from the Los Angeles Aqueduct. LADWP argued that providing 80 percent to 85 percent of the maximum WUA would maintain a viable fishery and that it is not appropriate to select 100 percent of the maximum WUA. LADWP and DFG recommend that the minimum instream flow requirement be the flow specified in Table 6 or the inflow to the Walker Creek diversion facility, whichever is less. www.monobasinresearch.org /images/legal/d1631text.htm   (11365 words)

1 News LADWP has been unwilling to provide any assurances that additional groundwater pumping to the pump station will not occur, or that the pump station will only be operated as originally conceived under the LORP. LADWP staff have argued that LADWP wants to build the larger facility now because there simply is no chance that greater capacity would ever be approved in the future. LADWP evidently had conducted its feasibility analysis under a different set of project assumptions: the entire seasonal habitat flow would reach the pump station, which would require supplementation over the length of the river, due to water losses. www.ovcweb.org /item/OneNews.asp?qitemid=39   (1598 words)

California First Amendment Coalition Here, the Court finds that prohibiting defendants from using the LADWP expert information and conducting such discovery as is necessary to place that expert information in context, would unfairly prejudice defendants in preparing their defense, thereby resulting in an injustice. LADWP did state early in the litigation that it intended to disclose to real parties in interest all test results and would dismiss health allegations in the complaint if the test results established that there was no health risk. LADWP' s willingness to make its own independent test results public and counsel' s willingness to waive her work product privilege with respect to Maas' s work do not establish that Armenta had no reasonable expectation that Maas' s reports would remain confidential. www.cfac.org /Attachments/armenta_v_superior_ct.html   (3990 words)

The Inyo Register   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Martin reiterated that LADWP had to move quickly to complete the Environmental Impact Report/EIS by the court-imposed June deadline, thus was not able to take as much of a collaborative approach as first envisioned. The most time-consuming task involves LADWP working with the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to complete an EIS that meets federal standards and can be used as the basis for a critical permit from the Army Corps that must be granted before any construction can begin. Last June, LADWP released what it called the final EIR/EIS for the LORP, but the EPA immediately noted that only a federal agency can release or approve an EIS, and stated it was not willing to give its stamp of approval to the LADWP document as written. www.inyoregister.com /articles/2004/12/27/news/22new01.txt   (1023 words)
