Document Description
The Project consists of the development of two (2) new recharge basins (north and south) on 10 acres surrounded by 12-ft tall berms. Improvements include: an access road surrounding the perimeter of each basin; 6-foot perimeter fencing with barbed wire; a new tee connection within the Winters Road right-of-way; approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch nonpotable water pipeline from Winters Road to the eastern perimeter of each basin; two (2) headwalls located along the eastern perimeter of each basin connecting to the new nonpotable water pipeline; outlet with energy dissipator; and a nested or multi-completion monitoring well located within the proposed site to monitor infiltration rates, groundwater levels, and water quality. The proposed improvements will allow MWA to increase its groundwater recharge capacity of annual State Water Project Table A allocations. The development of the recharge basins will result in a maximum flow rate of 5 cubic feet per second (cfs) with an anticipated annual recharge capacity of 1,500 AFY.
