    Project Objective
  • 07: Support to DACs
  • 10: Preserve water quality
  • 14: Increase use of recycled water
Project Funding Area

Lahontan

Project Description

The project would consist of the installation of 12 to 18 inch sewer main and manholes from the waste water treatment plant on Auburn to the intersection of Air Expressway and Pearmain. Project would also connect new County HS that is built but not opened due to lack of County funding. However, if/when school does open, the current existing Adelanto sewer does NOT have enough capacity to convey projected school ww flows.

Baja Sustainability Initiative #1 (Agricultural Water Conservation and Base Annual Production Right (BAP) Acquisition Program)
Project Funding Area

Lahontan

Project Description

This Agricultural Water Conservation program will be accomplished through several different means. It includes components of a Voluntary program funded entirely from local, state, federal and/or water fee dollars that purchase base annual production rights (BAP) from stipulated parties under the Mojave Basin Area Judgment. All BAP will be purchased by the Mojave Water Agency and be permanently retired. Each producer’s percentage share of BAP will determine the eligible amount of BAP that can be sold to MWA. Also, a Crop Conversion program that would incentivize converting from water intensive crops like Alfalfa to other water efficient crops, with the ultimate goal of reducing costs to the point of making direct delivery of SWP viable and economically feasible. Integrates Projects 1, 10, 25, 55R, and 70R.

Baja Sustainability Initiative #2 (Baja Major Storm Diversion Network)
Project Funding Area

Lahontan

Project Description

A major storm event diversion network to capture storm flows and transfer them to retention ponds that could then be disbursed on the south side of the valley to help facilitate recharge and recovery in areas that are unable to receive any natural benefit from storm flows that run down the river. A reduction in the velocity of the storm flows could also greatly assist in the prevention of scouring Cady Riparian Habitat. This would also include investigation into the possible utilization of pit at Kewitt, possible installation of weirs and irrigation channels to divert flood waters to percolation ponds, injection wells. Integrates Projects 8, 9, 43, 47, and 75.
