water allocation and delivery during times of shortage and surplus, and to reduce financial
pressures on agricultural contractors in times of drought and supply reductions.

conservation areas, Multiple-Habitat Planning Areas (MHPA), where development will be
restricted and areas outside the MHPA where future development will be directed.

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, Los Angeles: The Los Angeles
County MS4 Permit is being used as a benchmark for the entire Project site even though it
only technically applies to that portion of the Project site located in the boundaries of the Los
Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) because the portion of the
Project site within the Lahontan Region is not currently covered under a separate MS4
Permit.
