Olympic Well Field Restoration and Arcadia Treatment Plant Expansion Final MND

Olympic Well Field Restoration and Arcadia Treatment Plant Expansion Final MND

The proposed project is intended to enhance sustainability of the City of Santa Monica’s (City’s) local water supply through developing alternative water supplies and expanding local groundwater supplies. The Project would accomplish this goal through the restoration of the Olympic Well Field’s pumping capacity, expansion of local groundwater production and concurrent reduction of imported water supply, conveyance of the extracted groundwater to a new Olympic Advanced Water Treatment Facility (co-located at the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant [WTP]) via a new dedicated pipeline, and upgrades to the Arcadia WTP with an innovative Reverse Osmosis (RO) concentrate treatment technology to enhance production efficiency. Upon Project completion, the overall raw water treatment capacity of the Arcadia WTP would be expanded from approximately 10 million gallons per day (mgd) or 11,300 acre-feet per year (acre-feet/yr) to approximately 13 mgd, or 14,700 acre-feet/year
