| DECISION ELEMENT | COASTAL WATER PROJECT | NORTH MONTEREY COUNTY DESALINATION PROJECT | LONG-TERM WATER SUPPLY PROJECT (Sand City Desal) | AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY (Seaside Basin) | REGIONAL URBAN RECYCLED WATER PROJECT | |
| PROPONENT/SPONSOR | California American Water | Pajaro/Sunny Mesa CSD | MPWMD | MPWMD | MRWPCA and MCWD | |
| PROJECT DESCRIPTION | Moss Landing desal plant assuming use of Duke Energy site and intake/outfalls. Includes energy recovery; 24 mi pipelines; 3 pump stations; 2 storage tanks; connect into five existing water systems. Includes ASR component to store CR and desal water in Seaside Basin. | Desal plant at National Refractories site; use existing intake/outfall and/or Duke's if available. Includes energy recovery; possible 30-ac solar energy. Current focus on P/SM service area; willing to expand to serve other areas. No ASR is planned, but could be combined with MPWMD ASR project. | Desal plant at Sand City with potential intake and outfall locations from Seaside State Beach to coastal Fort Ord. HDD well technology needed to achieve 8,409 AF yield goal; brine disposal via MRWPCA outfall likely needed. Could be combined with MPWMD ASR project. | Divert treated excess Carmel River winter flow via existing Cal-Am pipelines (plus new pipeline up Gen Jim Moore Rd) to ASR wells owned and operated by MPWMD in Seaside Basin. | Reclaimed wastewater provided for nonpotable irrigation in Marina, Ft. Ord, Seaside, Del rey Oaks and Monterey area. Two phases: 1700 AFY and 3100 AFY total. Surface storage reservoir, ASR and/or tank to meet peak demand in Ph. II. Entitlements are within MCWRA share. | |
