Title
Storm Drain Flow Diversion to Recharge Facilities
Description
Storm drain flows have historically been discharged into Kern Delta Canals for at least the past forty (40) years. These flows are difficult to manage as they occur with little or no notice. As such, disposal of such storm flows is difficult for Kern Delta. In the past, Kern Delta has not had the ability to manage these storm flows by diversion into recharge/spreading basins. Kern Delta now proposes to divert some or all of the storm flows discharged through the existing storm drain inlets to existing recharge/spreading basins located adjacent to the Kern Delta Canals. The storm flows would continue to be discharged into the Kern Delta Canals, some or all of the storm flows would be diverted into the recharge/spreading basins through existing facilities. The project would not involve construction of any new facilities. The diversion of storm flows into existing recharge/spreading basins will benefit the City of Bakersfield, County of Kern and landowners, as Kern Delta will have operational flexibility to better manage these storm flows.
