West Coast Basin
WATER RIGHTS PANEL
West Coast Basin Watermaster Application for Groundwater Storage Projects
the impact of captured and stored water on local groundwater conditions, including mounding or changing of local
gradients. Provide existing groundwater water quality data at or near the site, the expected quality of planned
captured water for storage, and a description of the compatibility of the two water types. Provide information on any
contaminated sites located within one mile of the proposed project using regulatory databases or other means,
including site name and address, contaminants of concern, media affected (soil and/or groundwater), depth of
contamination, and regulatory status (closed, inactive, investigative, containment, or remediation). Discuss how the
storage project water may or may not impact the contamination at the identified sites. Describe how the Project will
not cause any material or physical harm to the Basin. Label hydrogeologic and water quality information as
“Attachment D-1”.
Section E: Storage Project Details and Requirements:
1. Describe in detail the design and construction of the proposed storage project. Specifically, describe the method
by which the water will be captured, put into storage (injection wells, spreading grounds, infiltration
galleries/trenches, dry wells, bio swales, etc.), and extracted from storage. Include details of planned maintenance
of storage and metering equipment. Include detailed information and drawings to describe all measures to capture
and infiltrate water desired for groundwater storage credits. Label description “Attachment E-1”.
2. Party to which the storage will be assigned: ___________________________________________________
3. Estimated Storage (acre-feet/year): _________________________________________________________
4. E
stimated Duration of Allocated Storage: _____________________________________________________
5. S

Section F: Monitoring and Extraction:
Please attach your responses to the following questions and label “Attachment F-1”.
1.
Provide a description of how the amount of captured and stored water will be determined, including the
proposed metering devices to verify the volume of water stored and later removed. The project proponent will
be required to establish suitable measuring and recording devices to furnish such records as may be needed
to determine with reasonable accuracy the quantity of water placed into storage into the usable production
aquifers of the Basin and the quantity later recovered under the provisions of the approved project.
2. D
escribe how the quality of the captured and stored water will be monitored, including frequency and chemical
constituents. Please describe how the project will be protective of the groundwater resources in this portion of
the West Coast Basin and not provide any material or physical harm to the Basin as requested. To analyze t
he
water quality, the suggested chemical analysis list can be found at:
