Beaumont Basin Watermaster Memorandum No. 16-10 Page 2 of 69
(transferred to) a local retail agency that has a storage account in the Beaumont
Basin. Having this water available in SGPWA’s account will increase the reliability
of supply in the Beaumont Basin as Appropriators could meet their replenishment
obligations by buying water from SGPWA through a paper transfer of storage.
4.- In the near term (10-12 years), SGPWA plans to store a maximum of 7,500 ac-ft/yr
based on 80 percent plus allocation from the State and additional Article 21 water
available in that year and/or additional wa ter that SGPWA could obtain by purchase,
transfer or exchange. Ultimately, SGPWA would like to store up to 13,000 ac-ft
based on the 20 cfs capacity of its connection.
5.- The storage of imported water in the cent ral portion of the basin could have a positive
impact on local water levels; however, storage losses could potentially increase in
the long term.
6.- Water quality of the State Water Project is equal to or better than the local
groundwater quality in the basin, as documented in the application.
A representative from the SG PWA will be present at the meet ing to address any questions
that members of the Watermaster Committee may have.
