Document Description
The subject project involves drilling, construction, and testing of the new replacement well to replace the existing Santa Barbara Corporation (“SB Corp”) Well that was drilled nearly 45 years ago and has been inactive for approximately 33 years due to inadequate production. The new replacement well will be drilled to a drought tolerant depth of approximately 750’ below ground surface (bgs). The existing well site will be reconfigured with a new iron and manganese removal treatment facility that will treat the new replacement well water to State drinking water quality standards.
