Document Description
The Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA) proposes to install a new extraction well and two new monitoring wells, along with associated 18” transmission pipeline (8,000 LF) that would serve the proposed new well, along with future wells that CDA has planned to develop to augment decline in productions from its existing wells. The purpose of this project is extract and convey groundwater to supply the Chino II Desalter to replace lost groundwater pumping capacity due to the gradual decline in production from the existing wellfield. The project will not increase overall pumping in the basin nor increase the treated water production of the Chino II Desalter.
