Border Patrol, Office of Field Operation, and CBP Air and Marine) by the nature of their operations and facility locations have a need to off-set its water consumption within the San Pedro Watershed. CBP has calculated its overall water mitigation requirements to be between 140 acre-feet and 225 acre-feet per year.

CBP will have to meet with US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on an annual basis to determine any changes in mitigation requirements. The mitigation must be located within the Sierra Vista Subwatershed. It is preferred that the proposed mitigation be located close to the International Border between the United States and the Republic of Mexico within the Subwatershed to better offset consumption. USFWS must be able to be approved any proposed mitigation for the mitigation to be acceptable to CBP.
