“From the moment we conceptualized the conservation and storage strategies furthered by the Cadiz Water Project, along with our partner Santa Margarita Water District, we have prioritized offering a safe, clean water supply that is also environmentally sustainable. Chief Executive Officer, provided the following statement about the report: In its report to the Districts, the expert panel concluded that the GMMMP and its adaptive management approach are appropriate and sufficient to protect the Mojave Desert’s critical resources and avoid any undesirable results from Project operations. The report and a press release announcing the report are available on Three Valleys’ website: Īlthough the Project has already been reviewed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and approved under San Bernardino County’s groundwater ordinance, the Districts commissioned the expert panel to provide a separate opinion regarding the ability of the Project and its GMMMP to provide sufficient monitoring and mitigation to ensure operations will avoid undesirable results in light of “new science” identified by project opponents and their calls to re-open the debate about the adequacy of the court-validated protections. Three Valleys is hosting a Board workshop today to discuss the report’s findings. The Districts’ panel report was prepared by a team of four independent groundwater experts commissioned by the Districts and selected from separate hydrology and engineering firms that have not previously been hired by the Company. The GMMMP is designed to ensure project operations do not harm the local environment, defined as avoiding “undesirable results,” and protect the interests of San Bernardino County residents. The Cadiz Water Project will manage the groundwater basin at the Company’s private agricultural property to reduce an ongoing loss of clean water to evaporation and salinity and make available a new water supply option for 400,000 people in Southern California. announced the availability of a new technical report released by Southern California public water agencies Three Valleys Municipal Water District and Jurupa Community Services District (the “Districts”) that was jointly commissioned to provide an independent assessment of the Cadiz Water Project, including available technical work and the Project’s Groundwater Management, Monitoring, and Mitigation Plan (“GMMMP”).
