Title

Sweetwater Authority Brackish Groundwater Desalination Project

Description

On March 25, 2015, Sweetwater Authority ("Authority") adopted an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report ("Final EIR") for the Richard A. Reynolds Desalination Facility Expansion Phase 2 Project ("Project"). The Project consists of the expansion of the existing Richard A. Reynolds Desalination Facility to increase the desalinated potable water production from its current 5 million gallons per day (mgd) capacity to 10 mgd. Increasing potable water production of the desalination facility would help the Authority reduce reliance on imported water and improve the reliability of water supplied to the local communities. The Project consists of the construction of additional water treatment facilities and five new groundwater wells with associated conveyance pipelines to accommodate the new wells as Phase 2 of an effort that began with the Phase I Lower Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Demineralization Project EIR (March 13, 1996). All activities approved as part of the Project are consistent with, and were fully analyzed in, the Final EIR for the Project (SCH #2007101055) certified by the Authority on February 24, 2010, and Findings and Facts in support of Findings for the Project were adopted by the Authority on November 10, 2010.
