Project Info
- Title
- Lower Day Basin Project
- Description
- The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the Chino Basin Watermaster (CBWM) are proposing the Lower Day Basin Improvement Project (proposed project). The objective of this project is to increase the recharge capacity (recycled water (RW) and stormwater (SW)) recharged into the Chino Groundwater Basin, specifically in the three cells located at Lower Day Basin. Under the Recharge Master Plan Update (RPMU), the proposed improvements for Lower Day Basin will increase recharge capacity by 789 acre-feet per year by modifying the San Bernardino County Flood Control District’s (SBCFCD) diversion channel, installing a control gate valve on Cell 3’s midlevel outlet, and improving the Basin embankments. The proposed project includes modifications to the Basin inlets and outlets that will allow more storm water to be diverted into the Basin and stored at higher elevations for longer durations. There will be no modifications to the physical size, layout/configuration or storage volume of the Basin. The proposed improvements will allow the Basin operations to be modified to achieve increased groundwater recharge.
