Cal Am still expects mid-2018 desal plant finish
Project manager says early bore hole testing results "positive" at two intake sites
By Jim Johnson, The Monterey County Herald
Highlight Excerpts:
Cal Am also reported to the oversight committee that early results from a series of bore holes aimed at evaluating the hydrogeology and water quality of potential desal plant feeder water intake sites were "positive" at two key sites, including the preferred Cemex plant location. At the same time, Cal Am argued for further exploration of an alternative test well site at Potrero Road in case the Cemex site fails.
At Monday's project oversight committee meeting, Cal Am engineering manager Ian Crooks presented a project schedule that anticipated completion and full-scale operation of the desal plant by June 2018, about a year and a half after the state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River takes full effect. The schedule called for a series of key project-related approvals over the latter half of this year and throughout 2015. They would range from state Coastal Commission approval of critical slant test wells by November and state Public Utilities Commission approval of the project's environmental impact report and permit to Coastal Commission approval of the project EIR by November next year.
