11 CA OCEAN PLAN INTAKE REQUIREMENTS

12 Intake Requirements A subsurface intake system is preferred. If not feasible*, screened intake should be used. Consideration of a range of feasible* alternatives for the best site, design, technology, and mitigation measures to minimize intake and mortality of all forms of marine life.(water Code (b) Feasible means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors. (Public Resources Code ; 30108) 12

13 SUBSURFACE INTAKE TECHNOLOGIES

14 Subsurface Intake Overview Types: Well systems (geological and hydrogeological dependent) Infiltration galleries (sediment transport process dependent) Benefits: Eliminate impingement and entrainment of sea life Potentially improve intake water quality Factors for determining feasibility: Coastal geological and hydrogeological conditions Coastal aquifer and ocean water interaction Coastal sediment transport processes Onshore site availability Absence of ecologically sensitive area Constructability Technology reliability Life cycle costs 14

15 Well Systems 15

16 Wells: Fresh Groundwater Interference 16

17 SSI Infiltration Galleries Average annual bed elevation change should be <0.5ft 17

18 CASE STUDY SANTA MONICA BAY

19 Wells: Groundwater Conditions and Rights 19

20 Wells: Seawater Barrier Project West Coast Seawater Barrier Project 20

21 Infiltration Galleries: Sand Transport Mugu Canyon Dune Canyon Redondo No limestones formation Canyon 21

22 Ballona Creek Nourished Beaches Coastline with sand nourishment Coastline without sand nourishment 22

23 Nearshore Geology: Impervious Layer and Cobbles 23

24 Coastal Site Zoned for Industrial Uses 24

25 Ecologically Sensitive Area 25

26 Subsurface Intake Feasibility Findings Wells and infiltration galleries: Evaluated 9 technologies None of them are feasible in Santa Monica Bay Major constraints: Nearshore: Interference with seawater barrier operations Presence of coastal contaminated groundwater plumes Groundwater adjudication Shallow clay lenses Cobbles Erosive nearshore seabed with high elevation fluctuations Offshore: Rough offshore sea conditions Unproven technology reliability High costs 26

27 Summary Subsurface intake (SSI) feasibility analysis is necessary to demonstrate consistency with Ocean Plan requirements during the CEQA process. The followings are important factors to consider to evaluate SSI feasibility: Coastal sediment transport processes Coastal geological and hydrogeological conditions and interaction Ecologically sensitive area Onshore site zoning and availability Constructability Technology reliability Life cycle costs Others, e.g. water rights 27
