Document Description
The proposed project would repurpose up to approximately 8 acres of irrigated agricultural land in Merced County through the construction of a passive stormwater capture and infiltration pond system under a I0-year Incentive Agreement with ETSGSA. The stormwater capture and infiltration pond system, or stormwater pond, would be constructed approximately 15 feet from an existing agricultural drainage ditch. The stormwater pond would range from one to three feet in depth, requiring some excavation and grading. The stormwater pond would be designed to capture
and retain storm water runoff from surrounding lands.
