Title

San Joaquin River Water Quality Improvement Project - Reuse Development Project

Description

The proposed project is to construct drainage facilities and plant crops on approximately 270 acres of land for the reuse of agricultural subsurface drainage water to reduce the volume of drainwater discharged through the Grassland Bypass to the San Joaquin River. The project includes the construction of 270 +/- acres of subsurface drainage tile and a drainage sump, and approximately 270 acres of agricultural forage crops. Once the planted crops have matured, the project will have the capability of disposing of 810 acre feet of drain water annually, preventing up to 130 lbs. of selenium, 13,000 lbs. of boron, and 4,000 tons of salt from being discharged to the San Joaquin River.
