Document Description
The Stockton Channel is a dead-end water feature extending east from the Stockton Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) Turning Basin to downtown Stockton. Historically, excessive growth of blue-green algae has occurred in the Stockton Channel during warm weather periods. The purpose of this project is to address the odor and aesthetic impacts caused by excessive algae blooms.
The proposed project would consist of a system of forced air diffuser laterals spaced approximately 550 feet apart to vertically destratify the length of the Stockton Channel stretching from the east end of McLeod Lake to the I-5 overcrossing. One duty and one standby blower, housed in an equipment building, would supply air through a distribution header to a series of diffuser laterals. Air released from small holes in the diffuser laterals would create a column of rising bubbles that would entrain water and cause a vertical rotation and destratification of the water body. The area to be destratified includes 42.9 acres surrounding McLeod Lake, Weber Point, and the planned new City Marina.
