MPWSP Basics How GWR fits into our Project Where are we now Design of MPWSP Intake System to Minimize Intake of Inland Groundwater Desalinated Water Supply to SV User Seawater Intrusion Control Benefits Reclaimed Water Salinity Control
MPWSP Basics
Desalination and ASR facilities required to replace partial loss of supplies from Carmel River and Seaside Groundwater Basin. 5.4 MGD to 9.0 MGD (5,500 to 9,000 AFA) desalination plant, depending on implementation of MRWPCAs GWR project. Desalination plant to be located near landfill entrance. 13.2 to 22 MGD slant intake system (6 to 8 Wells) on coastline Brine discharge to MRWPCAs existing outfall
Role of GWR
Independent Project by MRWPCA Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) which takes secondary wastewater effluent and processes it through an Advanced Water Treatment facility is a great opportunity for the Peninsula by: Lower overall Carbon Footprint Reduce Loadings to Monterey Bay Creates vast underground storage reservoir CAWs desal plant will be sized nearly in half if GWR can be implemented.

Intake Wells
Objectives: Limit intake of water from inland sources to the extent practicable All water taken from beneath the seafloor beyond the shoreline. Method: Slant Wells, with screens placed under the seafloor and in 180foot formation.

Test well program is needed to gather more information as to geology, salinity, configuration, etc.
