The comment period on the Tassajara Project RDEIR has been extended to Nov. 30. Comments can be sent to John.Oborne@dcd.cccounty.us

The Tassajara Parks Project is a 125-unit residential subdivision proposed outside the Urban Limit Line.  Contra Costa County currently designates the project area as Agricultural Lands, and zones it A-80, Exclusive Agricultural District.  The project’s water will come from either EBMUD water conservation, or from a contract for up to 100 acre-feet of water per year from the Calaveras Public Utility District’s Schaads Reservoir in Calaveras County.

We encourage Contra Costa County to work with the ample supplies of the Contra Costa County Water District and EBMUD to effectively meet the water needs of your future developments.  We strongly suggest that you discourage your local developers from seeking to take from Calaveras County the limited waters we retain for local recreational, agricultural, residential, and economic development.
