The Central Iron County Water Conservancy District (CICWCD) filed an Application for Transportation and Utility Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands with the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Cedar City Field Office (CCFO) for a proposed buried water pipeline project and related appurtenances referred to as the Pine Valley Water Supply project (PVWS). The PVWS project would consists of construction, operation and maintenance of well and pumping facilities, solar power generation site and facility, water transmission pipeline and other related appurtenances, a water storage facility and the terminus of the pipeline that would connect wells in Pine Valley to the Cedar Valley system. CNRWA expressed concern that future pumping in Pine and Wah Wah Valleys as part of the Pine Valley Water Supply Project is projected to have long term effects on three groundwater basins in the Central Region: Dry Lake, Lake Valley and Spring Valley and concluded that the only acceptable action is the No Action Alternative and a withdrawal of the DEIS by the BLM.
