Summary
The Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project (GWR Project) is a project proposed by a partnership between Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD), Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA), and California American Water Company (CalAm). The proposed project aims to establish a reliable source of drinking water by recharging the Seaside Groundwater Basin in Seaside, CA with treated waste water. The project goal is to provide CalAm with an additional 3,500 acre-feet per year (AFY) to replace water that is currently drawn from the Carmel River, since CalAm has been issued a Cease and Desist order from the state to reduce waster diversions from the Carmel River by December 2016 [1].
Project Location
The Seaside Groundwater Basin is located in
Systems
The GWR Project will recharge the Seaside Groundwater Basin to create a reliable source of drinking water by taking treated water from a new advanced water treatment plant, and using a series of shallow and deep injection wells to recharge the Basin [1]. Injected water will mix with existing groundwater in the Seaside Basin for storage until CalAm begins to use the water to supply its customers [1].
Laws, policies, & regulations
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the project must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Under CEQA lead agency, Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA), is preparing the EIR.
