STATUS: Motion Approved
B. Status Report on Water Level Monitoring throughout the Beaumont
Basin through January 22, 2019
Recommendation: No recommendation.
Mr. Blandon gave a report. He noted that at the Noble Creek spreading
grounds there has been a significant (over 90 feet in the shallow aquifer,
and 46 feet in the deeper aquifer) increase in water levels in the last 18
months. He reminded the Committee that the probe at Banning Well 8
had been lost, but the city has recently pulled the pump and a new probe
will be installed.
There is a new monitoring well site at BCVWD Well 29. Mr. Blandon
reported that he has visited other potential monitoring well sites, but
has found that the representatives are comfortable with reading the
water levels, but not with signing the required contract. He suggested
considering no contract, or focusing only on pumping wells.
He reported on another potential monitoring site at Sharondale Well 1
owned by Clearwater Operations.
