Title

OKIEVILLE RECHARGE BASIN PROJECT

Description

The Okieville Recharge Basin Project involves the construction of a 21-acre recharge facility and supporting infrastructure, adjacent and up-gradient of the Community of Okieville (a Disadvantaged Community). The Project’s purpose is two-fold: one, to increase the availability of wet-year recharge capacity and, two, to provide water quality benefits to the residents of Okieville. The Project is anticipated to provide 630 acre-feet per year of average annual benefits and 1,400 acre feet of maximum recharge in wet years of high-quality Sierra watershed surface supplies dedicated to recharging up-gradient of the community, which should improve the quality of local groundwater pumped by the Okieville-Highland Acres Mutual Water Company well and delivery system. The District also intends to implement a Monitoring Program, including monitoring wells, to determine the empirical benefits of groundwater recharge on the quantity and quality of groundwater available to the community. The proposed supporting infrastructure for the basin includes the following components: • New turnout and inlet to basin • Existing turnout to be relocated • New outlet from basin into ditch • New inlet pipe 180 feet long and up to 48” in diameter • New outlet pipe 75 feet long and up to 48” in diameter
