MUL Tl-BENEFIT PILOT AG AQUIFER STORAGE & RECOVERY PROJECT

The Multi-Benefit Pilot Ag Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project is a construction-focused initiative managed by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District in California. The primary objective of the project is to achieve long-term groundwater sustainability within the Red Bluff Subbasin by implementing groundwater management activities. This will be accomplished by installing a water service connection from a surface water source at Elder Creek to the Ag ASR well field, allowing for the direct recharge of surface water into the aquifer system. The project utilizes existing surface water rights to facilitate ongoing groundwater recharge. Key technical activities include the replacement of a pump at an existing surface water diversion point and the installation of a pipeline to connect that diversion point to three existing groundwater wells. The project is located in Tehama County at coordinates latitude 40.04082 and longitude -122.25478. While specific contract values, pricing schedules, and solicitation numbers are not provided in the current documentation, the project has moved through environmental regulatory stages, including the filing of environmental documentation fees with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Justin Jenson, the Director, serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency.
