Document Description
The Project is expanding on a previously approved 200-acre effluent disposal project that is located immediately north of the existing WWTP and immediately south and southeast of the proposed expansion areas proposed by the Project. At full buildout, approximately 417 acres of land would be converted to agriculture (non-human consumption crops such as alfalfa), which would require improvements on the land such as installing an irrigation system and grading. However, Phase 1 only includes 152 acres, and Phase 2 (265 acres) will only be constructed if and when the City determines there is adequate demand. An additional 20 acres of land would be used to preserve existing grassland habitat. In order to convey treated wastewater to the reclamation field, improvements on existing land will be required, in addition to new facilities and a conveyance system. Additional facilities and improvement include grading, diversion structures, alfalfa valves, and new pipelines to convey treated effluent to the reclamation field.
