SUMMARY:  The General Manager has been meeting frequently with MRWPCA’s General Manager to discuss the groundwater replenishment project.  The District has offered support in 6 key areas: (i) funding, (ii) water sales, (iii) working with the Watermaster, (iv) delivery of dilution water through ASR, (v) hydrogeologic modeling, and (vi) public outreach.  Discussions will continue in each of these areas.

 

On Wednesday November 9th District staff heard a presentation to the Watermaster on the groundwater replenishment project and then met with Bob Holden, MRWPCA Principal Engineer, and Phyllis Stanin of Todd Engineers, a consultant to MRWPCA to see if there presently any areas of District data or activities that might overlap with the needs of the early phases of their project.

 

The MRWPCA also recently presented its work plan and timeline, which is attached as Exhibit 6-A.
