ICF has won the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation 4-year, $15 million contract to provide environmental consulting services to support the long-term operation of its Central Valley and State Water projects.
Under the contract, ICF will deliver applied science, planning and engagement to support state and federal environmental compliance and provide associated modeling and analytical services.
“The CVP and SWP encompass a complex, interrelated system of dams, reservoirs, hydroelectric plants and other facilities that help California manage its water supply during extreme drought and generate power to support the energy grid,” said Anne Choate, ICF executive vice president for energy, environment and infrastructure.
CVP and SWP both provide critical multipurpose water infrastructure to California. The work will help CVP and SWP address changing conditions associated with fish and wildlife, water and power operations, and habitat restoration, and allow for facility improvements and additions.
“We have supported these and similar water projects for decades and have the experience and expertise needed to help Reclamation meet its projects’ interrelated goals and desired outcomes,” Choate said.
