FINAL for 3/17/08 Meeting MPWMD Comparative Matrix, Part III, Projects Other Than Desalination
   
DECISION ELEMENT PHASE 1 AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY (Seaside Basin) REGIONAL URBAN WATER AUGMENTATION PROJECT (RUWAP) SEASIDE BASIN GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT PROJECT (GRP)
PROPONENT/SPONSOR MPWMD MCWD for desal project; MCWD and MRWPCA for recycled water project MRWPCA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Divert treated excess Carmel River winter flow via existing Cal-Am pipelines (and those planned up Gen Jim Moore Blvd) to ASR wells in Seaside Basin. Phase 1 is second well at existing Santa Margarita test site.  Phases 2 and 3 to be considered in future. Desalinated water provided for potable uses. Reclaimed wastewater provided for nonpotable irrigation in Marina, Ord Community, Seaside, Del Rey Oaks and Monterey. Reclaimed water in first phase: 1,500 AFY; possible second phase: 3,300 AFY total, including Phase 1. Surface storage reservoir, ASR and/or tank needed to meet peak demand in Phase 2. Repurified water from the MRWPCA reclamation plant provided to Seaside GW Basin to help recharge it.  Initial project size estimated at 2,400 AFY.
Pilot Project Successful pilot and full-scale test wells since 1998; annual reporting to SWRCB and MPWMD. MCWD Desal Plant built in 1997. Salinas Valley Reclamation Project completed in 1997 providing irrigation water to agriculture. Pilot recycled project in progress on Seaside golf course.  Pilot testing (treatment and percolation) anticipated in 2008
PROJECT YIELD Maximum CR diversion and injection is 2,426 AFY; maximum extraction from Seaside is 1,500 AFY; average annual yield is 920 AFY based on August 2006 computer modeling. Desal component: 1,273 AFY. 973 AFY is available for the Ord Community and 300 AFY will replace MCWD’s existing desalination plant. Reclaimed water: Phase 1 - 1,727 AFY, of which 1,427 AFY will be used in the Ord Community and 300 AFY will be available for the Monterey Peninsula. Possible Phase 2 - 3,300 AFY total, including Phase 1. Surface storage reservoir, ASR and/or tank needed to meet peak demand in Phase 2. 2,400 AFY in initial project, possibly expandable in the future

OPERATIONS/OTHER
Technical, Managerial and Financial Capabilities (TMF) to meet DHS standards Cal-Am and MPWMD are developing a long-term management and operations agreement for ASR. MRWPCA and MCWD are established and certified water system and reclamation plant operators. MRWPCA is an established and certified reclamation system operator.
Water production interruptions (e.g., power or intake water) Back-up generators Desal plant and related pump stations will have back-up generators. Pump stations will not have back-up generators.
PROJECT PARTICIPANTS  
Overview Funded by MPWMD via methods allowed by MPWMD Law; possible public-private partnership or JPA. Desalination project: Participants TBD. Reclaimed water: possible areas identified in EIR. Previous agreements spell out MRWPCA recycled water entitlements.  
MPWMD participation MPWMD envisioned as sole sponsor in coordination with Cal-Am. No MPWMD participation required.  Possible co-sponsorship through agreement with project proponents. Close coordination with MPWMD due to proximity of MPWMD's ASR wells to the proposed recharge sites, and due to MPWMD's water management role in the Cal Am service area. 
Other entities participation ASR could be coordinated with any other larger water supply project to meet community needs. None anticipated at this time. MCWD, Cal-Am, Seaside, and others possible
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Outreach programs Monthly or quarterly updates; oral reports Board meetings. Anticipated budget of $250,000.  Golf courses would be largest customers of Reclaimed Project. Began outreach to community leaders in 2005 with trips to view similar projects.  Outreach to general public to begin in late 2006 or early 2007.
