Document Description
Operation of A-18 Pond, including discharge of waters and circulation of bay water in A-18 Pond. The A-18 Pond is owned by Cargill and has been purchased by the City of San Jose. As a condition of the sale, the City and Cargill propose an initial release of brines within the pond to Artesian Slough, followed by circulation by bay water through the pond in sufficient volume to maintain discharge salinities near bay water salinity. It is expected that the initial release would occur over approximately three months while salinities drop and bay water is circulated through the pond, after which the pond would be operated for continuous circulation. The pond would be operated to limit salinity discharge levels to maintain salinity of 44 ppt. The proposed pond operation is based on modeling data and may be modified by adaptive management based on results of monitoring data.
