Document Description
Rosedale- Rio Bravo Water Storage District (Rosedale) manages the portion of the regional Kern County groundwater basin that is within its boundaries. Rosedale operates groundwater recharge and banking programs, and is developing recovery programs for its landowners and for other districts within and outside of Kern County, California. Rosedale and Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) are proposing the Strand Ranch Integrated Banking Project (proposed project) to augment Rosedale's groundwater banking program by integrating Strand Ranch into Rosedale's existing Conjunctive Use Permit. Strand Ranch consists of approx. 600 acres of agricultural land owned by IRWD adjacent to the Rosedale district boundary in Kern County. As part of the proposed project, Strand Ranch would be annexed into Rosedale's boundaries. Rosedale and IRWD propose to develop facilities on this property capable of recharging an average of approx. 17,500 acre-feet per year (AFY) to and from the underlying aquifer. Rosedale and IRWD also propose to develop facilities on or near Strand Ranch to recover approx. 17,500 AFY of water from the aquifer. Rosedale would operate these facilities to optimize the use of the groundwater storage and recovery capacity of the aquifer and to provide a reliable source of water for Rosedale and IRWD customers.
