Matilija Groundwater Supply Project Test/Monitoring Well

Matilija Groundwater Supply Project Test/Monitoring Well

The Project is comprised of one vertical well completed in the Matilija Sandstone Formation passing through several other formations to a depth of about 7,000 feet. Well piping would be installed at the wellhead, which would be used for testing and monitoring purposes. Upon completion, the well head would be equipped with a high-pressure valve (no pumping is anticipated to be required) and above-grade piping such that the entire confined pressure and/or artesian flow can be controlled, quantified, monitored, and tested over several years. All produced groundwater would be discharged to a series of detention basins for infiltration and evaporation. No discharge would occur to the Robles Canal or other surface waters. It is estimated three years of monitoring and testing would provide adequate information to determine if a permanent well is feasible and, if so, to provide information for design criteria for its development. After this three-year test period, the well would remain in place with operations conducted as determined by review of the data collected over the test period.
