Surface and Groundwater Monitoring, Data Management System Development

Client: YVWD
Dates: 2012–Present
Key Dudek Staff: Steven Stuart, Kyle Harper, Patrick Rentz
Reference: Joe Zoba, General Manager, 909.797.5119 ext. 2. jzoba@yvwd.us

Dudek was retained by YVWD to provide groundwater and
surface water monitoring services per the 2014
amendment (R8-2014-0005) to the Water Quality Control
Plan for the Santa Ana River Basin, and to act as data
manager for information collected in the Yucaipa,
Beaumont, and San Timoteo Groundwater Management
Zones. The primary objective of the maximum benefit
groundwater monitoring program is to collect the data
needed for the triennial re-computation of ambient water
quality in the Santa Ana Basin. Dudek conducts field
monitoring services, including measuring surface water
flow, collecting surface water quality samples, measuring field parameters (i.e., pH, temperature,
and conductivity), measuring groundwater levels at selected wells, collecting groundwater quality
samples, and compiling water level and water quality data in a database.

As-Needed Hydrogeological Support
Client: BWD
Dates: 2013–Present
Key Dudek Staff: Peter Quinlan, Trey Driscoll (Project Manager), Hugh McManus, Dylan Duvergé
Reference: Geoff Poole, BWD General Manager, 760.767.5806, geoff@borregowd.org

Dudek assisted the BWD in drafting a long-term
cooperation agreement with the Rams Hill Golf Course to
avoid litigation of water rights. As part of the agreement,
Dudek is currently characterizing the hydrogeology of the
southern portion of the Borrego Valley Groundwater
Basin to determine safe yield. Dudek has performed
multiple aquifer tests, drilled three test holes, installed a
new production well, and completed water level
monitoring and water quality sampling. Dudek is currently
installing a telemetry system to monitor production and
water levels for several wells. We are using the recently
updated USGS groundwater numerical model to optimize Well Development for the Rams
pumping of the basin and project water level decline. By
pumping non-potable poor-quality water from the Hill Water Supply Project
southern Borrego Valley Groundwater Basin for use on
the Rams Hill Golf Course and fallowing 800 acre-feet of agricultural production over the next 4
years, Rams Hill Golf Course will improve the long-term availability and sustainability of water in the
Borrego Valley Groundwater Basin.
