MRWP.01.14
SUBJECT:
The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the source water availability and yield estimates for the
Pure Water Monterey Groundwater Replenishment Project (Proposed Project), to explain the seasonal
storage yield estimates, and to provide the proposed maximum and typical (or normal) water use
estimates for the Proposed Project. The GWR Project will develop various source waters and convey
them to the MRWPCA Regional Treatment Plant (RTP) where they will undergo primary and secondary
treatment with the current municipal wastewater flows, and then undergo Advanced Water Treatment
before being conveyed for injection in the Seaside Groundwater Basin. Source waters conveyed to the
RTP which are not required for the GWR project will undergo tertiary treatment at the Salinas Valley
Reclamation Plant (SVRP) and be used to increase the recycled water supply provided to the Castroville
Seawater Intrusion Project (CSIP).
A number of technical documents were prepared to analyze and confirm available source supplies for the
Proposed Project. Source waters for the GWR Project include new surface water diversions, agricultural
wash water, urban stormwater runoff and unused secondary-treated effluent from the RTP which would
otherwise be discharged to the ocean as further described, below. The source water availability studies
that have been used as the basis for estimating yield are cited throughout this report. These reports and
studies include:

The primary purpose of the GWR Project is to provide high quality replacement water to allow California
American Water Company (CalAm) to extract 3,500 AFY more water from the Seaside Basin for
-2-
3/26/2015
delivery to its customers in the Monterey District service area and reduce Carmel River system water use
by an equivalent amount. To meet this objective, the GWR Project would include features that would
create a reliable source of water supply by using source waters described below to produce purified
recycled water using existing secondary treatment processes and a new Advanced Water Treatment
(AWT) Facility at the MRWPCA Regional Treatment Plant. After treatment by the AWT Facility, the
purified recycled water would be conveyed to the Seaside Groundwater Basin for subsurface injection
using a series of shallow and deep wells. In the Seaside Groundwater Basin, the treated water would mix
with the groundwater present in the aquifers and be stored for future urban use. CalAm would use
existing wells and improved potable water supply distribution facilities to extract and distribute the GWR
water, enabling CalAm to reduce its diversions from the Carmel River system by this same amount.
Another purpose of the proposed GWR Project is to provide additional water to the Regional Treatment
Plant that could be recycled at the existing tertiary treatment facility (the Salinas Valley Reclamation
Plant) and used for crop irrigation using the Castroville Seawater Intrusion Project system. The Salinas
Valley Reclamation Plant produces tertiary-treated, disinfected recycled water for agricultural irrigation
within the CSIP service area. Municipal wastewater and certain urban dry weather runoff diversions
treated at the Regional Treatment Plant are currently the only sources of supply for the Salinas Valley
Reclamation Plant. Municipal wastewater flows have declined in recent years due to aggressive water
conservation efforts by the MRWPCA member entities. The new sources of water supply developed for
the GWR Project would increase supply available at the Regional Treatment Plant for use by the Salinas
Valley Reclamation Plant during the peak irrigation season (April to September). In addition, the GWR
Project would include Salinas Valley Reclamation Plant modifications to allow tertiary treatment at lower
daily production rates, facilitating increased use of recycled water during the late fall, winter and early
spring months when demand drops below 5 million gallons per day (MGD).
Source waters for the GWR Project include new surface water diversions, agricultural wash water, urban
stormwater runoff and unused secondary-treated effluent from the RTP which would otherwise be
discharged to the ocean.
Agricultural Wash Water
The City of Salinas owns and operates an industrial wastewater collection and treatment system, which
serves approximately 25 agricultural processing and related businesses located in the southeast corner of
the City. This wastewater collection system is separate from the Salinas municipal sewage collection
system. These flows, referred to as Agricultural Wash Water, are conveyed in a network of gravity
pipelines to the Salinas Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (SIWTF), where it is treated using
aeration and disposed of using evaporation and percolation. These flows would be redirected into the
municipal wastewater system for conveyance to the RTP as a source of supply for the GWR Project.
Annual inflows to the SIWTF were analyzed and a projection of year 2017 flows was prepared by the
MRWPCA1, as shown in the first row of Table 1, below.
The SITWF consists of an aeration basin, three storage/percolation ponds covering 108 acres, drying beds
coving 67 acres and three rapid infiltration basins covering 1.3 acres. To assess the effects of diverting
flows treated at the SIWTF, Todd Groundwater2 estimated the percentages of flows disposed as
evaporation, percolation from the main ponds, and disposal through the drying beds and rapid infiltration
basins (RIBs). These values are show in Table 1, below, and are used in the estimation of seasonal storage
losses discussed later in this memorandum.

The third diversion is from the Blanco Drain, just above its confluence with the Salinas River. The
Blanco Drain conveys seasonal stormwater flows and agricultural tile drainage from 6,400 acres. Schaaf
& Wheeler6 estimated the yield from this system, assuming a maximum diversion rate of 6 cfs, as shown
in Table 3.
All of these diversions would require water rights permits from the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB).

In the attached scenario tables, the use of the various sources is reduced to just meet the demands of the
AWT Facility and offset the current CSIP groundwater use in the wet season (OCT-MAR). During the
dry season (APR-SEP), surface water diversions are shown meeting the monthly AWT Facility demands
and providing extra flow for the CSIP, such that the annual use of new sources equals the annual AWT
Facility demands. In practice, the surface water diversions could be reduced or increased based on the
actual CSIP system demands, up to the total yields shown in Table 6. The demand scenarios considered
are:
Table 7: A normal water year while developing a drought reserve (AWT Facility producing 3,700
AFY)
Table 8: A normal water year with a full drought reserve (AWT Facility producing 3,500 AFY)
Table 9: A drought year starting with a full reserve (AWT Facility producing 2,700 AFY)
In the two normal year scenarios, surface water diversions were only required from the Reclamation Ditch
and the Blanco Drain, and only between April and October.
In the drought year scenario, the stormwater and wastewater availability were reduced. Urban runoff
from Salinas was assumed to be one-third of the historic average. Rainfall on the SIWTF ponds used the
2013 rainfall record (critically dry year). The unused secondary treated effluent values from 2013 were
used, also the historic low. The CSIP groundwater well use from OCT 2013 to SEP 2014 was used as the
CSIP augmentation target. Under this scenario, surface water diversions were required from the
Reclamation Ditch, Blanco Drain and Tembladero Slough, and the diversions were needed from March
through November.

7 Table 4, Ibid.
8 Ponds 1,2,3 and aeration basin hold up to 1,065 acre-feet (one foot of freeboard). If flow to ponds would exceed the maximum volume, it is presumed that excess flow can be diverted to the RIBs or drying beds
or flow can be diverted to the RTP. Presume that pond storage goes to zero sometime during the year (shown here starting in July).
9 Max diversion = 6 cfs diversion. See REVISED DRAFT BLANCO DRAIN YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, December 2014.
10 Max. diversion = 6 cfs. See REVISED DRAFT RECLAMATION DITCH YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, March 2015. Note that flow figures shown here are a combination of flow estimates in the S&W analysis
made for the 2 cfs instream requirement Jan-May and 1 cfs instream requirement for June-Dec.
11 Max. diversion = 3 cfs. See REVISED DRAFT RECLAMATION DITCH YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, March 2015. Figures shown here are the difference between the combined Davis Road/TS diverison with
Seasonal Bypass. This presumes the preference is to remove flow at Davis Road first, rather than bypass flow to Tembaldero Slough.
12 Unused secondary effluent waste water currently discharged to Monterey Bay would be used in conjunction with improvements at the RTP to provide additional flow to the Salinas Valley Reclamation Project
(SVRP) during periods of low demand (i.e., < 5 mgd).
13 New source waters not used by AWT in the summer months will be available to SVRP for CSIP.
14 A drought reserve of up to 1,000 AF would be created over five years by producing 200 AFY additional product water from the GWR Project AWTF during winter months and storing the water in the Seaside Basin.
This would establish a "water bank" that the CSIP can draw on in droughts. The drought reserve would allow flow at the RTP for the GWR Project to be temporarily reduced during critically dry periods, thus
freeing up more of the newly available inflows to the RTP to be sent to the CSIP area. Extraction from the Seaside Basin would continue at the average rate to supply the Monterey Peninsula.
15 Average monthly RTP discharge, 2009-2013 (reported by MRWPCA).

3 Volume of effluent from City of Salinas agricultural wash water to be directed into ponds 1,2,3, and the aeration pond for storage.
4 Average monthly flow from Revised Draft, Groundwater Replenishment Project, Salinas River Inflow Impacts, Prepared for Denise Duffy & Associates, February 2015.
5 Rainfall from Revised Draft, Groundwater Replenishment Project, Salinas River Inflow Impacts, Prepared for Denise Duffy & Associates, February 2015. Pond area presumed to be Ponds 1,2, 3 + Aeration lagoon.
No rainfall/evaporation or storage assigned to drying beds.
6 Table 3, Todd Groundwater, Draft Memorandum, Pure Water Monterey Groundwater Replenishment Project: Impacts of Changes in Percolation at the Salinas Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility on
Groundwater and the Salinas River, February 11, 2015.
7 Table 4, Ibid.
8 Ponds 1,2,3 and aeration basin hold up to 1,065 acre-feet (one foot of freeboard). If flow to ponds would exceed the maximum volume, it is presumed that excess flow can be diverted to the RIBs or drying beds
or flow can be diverted to the RTP. Presume that pond storage goes to zero sometime during the year (shown here starting in July).
9 Max diversion = 6 cfs diversion. See REVISED DRAFT BLANCO DRAIN YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, December 2014.
10 Max. diversion = 6 cfs. See REVISED DRAFT RECLAMATION DITCH YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, March 2015. Note that flow figures shown here are a combination of flow estimates in the S&W analysis
made for the 2 cfs instream requirement Jan-May and 1 cfs instream requirement for June-Dec.
11 Max. diversion = 3 cfs. See REVISED DRAFT RECLAMATION DITCH YIELD STUDY, Schaaf and Wheeler, March 2015. Figures shown here are the difference between the combined Davis Road/TS diverison with
Seasonal Bypass. This presumes the preference is to remove flow at Davis Road first, rather than bypass flow to Tembaldero Slough.
12 Unused secondary effluent waste water currently discharged to Monterey Bay would be used in conjunction with improvements at the RTP to provide additional flow to the Salinas Valley Reclamation Project
(SVRP) during periods of low demand (i.e., < 5 mgd).
13 New source waters not used by AWT in the summer months will be available to SVRP for CSIP.
14 A drought reserve of up to 1,000 AF would be created over five years by producing 200 AFY additional product water from the GWR Project AWTF during winter months and storing the water in the Seaside Basin.
This would establish a "water bank" that the CSIP can draw on in droughts. The drought reserve would allow flow at the RTP for the GWR Project to be temporarily reduced during critically dry periods, thus
freeing up more of the newly available inflows to the RTP to be sent to the CSIP area. Extraction from the Seaside Basin would continue at the average rate to supply the Monterey Peninsula.
15 Average monthly RTP discharge, 2009-2013 (reported by MRWPCA).
16 Secondary treated municpal effluent not used for SVRP/CSIP or the AWT.
17 Assume all unused secondary effluent is used by SVRP/CSIP in APR-SEP

(SVRP) during periods of low demand (i.e., < 5 mgd).
13 New source waters not used by AWT in the summer months will be available to SVRP for CSIP.
14 A drought reserve of up to 1,000 AF would be created over five years by producing 200 AFY additional product water from the GWR Project AWTF during winter months and storing the water in the Seaside Basin.
This would establish a "water bank" that the CSIP can draw on in droughts. The drought reserve would allow flow at the RTP for the GWR Project to be temporarily reduced during critically dry periods, thus
freeing up more of the newly available inflows to the RTP to be sent to the CSIP area. Extraction from the Seaside Basin would continue at the average rate to supply the Monterey Peninsula.
15 Monthly RTP discharge during critically dry year, 2013 (reported by MRWPCA).
16 Secondary treated municpal effluent not used for SVRP/CSIP or the AWT.
