CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER / HYDROGEOLOGIC WORKING GROUP

MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER SUPPLY PROJECT
HWG HYDROGEOLOGIC INVESTIGATION REPORT
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
California American Water Company (CalAm) is planning to increase sustainability of their water supply
portfolio to meet the long-term needs of their customers on the Monterey Peninsula. The plan includes
construction of a seawater intake system and either a 6.4 million gallon per day (MGD) or 9.6 MGD
desalination plant. The proposed project, known as the "Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project"
(MPWSP), intends to meet CalAm's long-term regional water demands, improve groundwater quality in
the seawater-intruded Salinas Basin, and expand agricultural water deliveries.
On April 23, 2012, the settling parties consisting of CalAm, Citizens for Public Water, City of Pacific
Grove, Coalition of Peninsula Businesses, County of Monterey, Division of Ratepayer Advocates,
Landwatch Monterey County, Monterey County Farm Bureau (MCFB), Monterey County Water
Resources Agency (MCWRA), Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (MPRWA), Monterey
Peninsula Water Management District, Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency, Planning
and Conservation League Foundation, Salinas Valley Water Coalition (SVWC), Sierra Club, and Surfrider
Foundation filed a motion with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to approve a
settlement agreement that provides for the development, construction, operation, and financing of the
MPWSP. The Settlement Agreement provides that the parties will support the issuance of a certificate of
public convenience and necessity (CPCN) for the MPWSP, subject to certain conditions.
As part of the MPWSP, CalAm evaluated several different alternatives to supply ocean water, or highly
brackish groundwater, to the new desalination plant. The feasibility of extracting seawater from
beneath the ocean floor using a shallow, slant well intake system at the CEMEX property that produces
ocean water from aquifers that lie directly beneath the ocean, is being evaluated. This document
represents the "Technical Report" required by the "Settlement Agreement," which provides findings and
recommendations to CalAm with respect to appropriate development of a desalination source water
supply for the MPWSP.

very transmissive materials. The data also shows that the Dune Sand Aquifer directly overlies
and is in hydraulic continuity with the underlying 180-Foot Equivalent (180-FTE) Aquifer in the
project area. Therefore, the recommendations provided in this summary report address the
Dune Sand Aquifer along with the underlying 180-FTE Aquifer as an appropriate target source of
feedwater supply for the project.
180-Foot and 180-FTE Aquifers: The 180-Foot Aquifer has been well documented in the Salinas
Valley. Data collected from the regional investigation were used to evaluate the character of the
180-Foot Aquifer and its correlative, the 180-FTE Aquifer, near the coast and the relationship of
the aquifers with the overlying Dune Sand Aquifer. While the 180-FTE Aquifer overall contains a
greater amount of fine-grained lithologic material than the Dune Sand Aquifer, the materials are
also very transmissive.
Salinas Valley Aquitard (SVA): The extent of the SVA in the project area was a significant
question because of potential changes in inland groundwater levels from pumping at the coast.
Therefore, the location and extents of the SVA and similar shallow aquitard in the Fort Ord area
(designated as Fort Ord "SVA" or FO-SVA) were investigated. In the Salinas Valley, a shallow
perched aquifer designated as the Perched "A" Aquifer is present overlying the SVA. Likewise, a
shallow aquifer designated as the Fort Ord "A" Aquifer occurs at a higher elevation than the
Perched "A" Aquifer of the Salinas Valley.
400-Foot Aquifer: Although the TSW was constructed within the Dune Sand and 180-FTE
Aquifers, an evaluation of the potential response of the underlying 400-Foot Aquifer to TSW
pumping was included in the hydrogeologic investigation. Monitoring wells were constructed
with well screens in the upper portion of the 400-Foot Aquifer facilitate measurement of water
levels in the aquifer during the long-term TSW pumping test.

Figure 1-1. Main Hydrogeologic Units in Project Area
The development of the hydrogeologic conceptual model has occurred in phases: based on historical
research, collecting site-specific data through exploratory borehole drilling, and additional data collected
during construction of the TSW and monitoring network. The exploratory borehole drilling phase of the
field investigation included drilling, logging, and testing of fourteen (14) boreholes within the project
area: six (6) boreholes at the CEMEX site, six (6) boreholes around Moss Landing, one (1) borehole at
Molera Road, and one (1) at Potrero Road (Figure 1). The boreholes were drilled to determine the
depths and thicknesses of the hydrostratigraphic sequences and evaluate optimal locations for
extracting seawater from beneath the ocean floor. The hydrogeologic conceptual model of the project
area was refined based on data gathered during MPWSP hydrogeologic investigations (including the
construction and long-term pump testing of the TSW and associated network of monitoring wells
(locations shown on Figure 2). A representative cross-section is provided as Figure 3.
Data collected during the TSW long-term testing were also used to update the North Marina
Groundwater Model (NMGWM) and CEMEX Model. The NMGWM and CEMEX models, developed by
GEOSCIENCE Support Services, Inc. (GEOSCIENCE), represented the tools initially proposed by the HWG
to evaluate the short- and long-term hydrogeologic impacts in the project area from MPWSP operations.
Subsequent to the model update reported in TM-1, the NMGWM was modified by HydroFocus, Inc.
(HydroFocus), a consultant for CPUC, and converted to a superposition model for the evaluation of
project impacts for the Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS).

1.2.1 Installation of Long-Term Monit3ring Network
In order to investigate the impacts of long-term pumping of the TSW, the groundwater monitoring
network was developed to:
Assess and continually evaluate the hydrogeologic technical aspects of the project,
Evaluate potential impacts to critical inland water resources,
Assess the movement of ocean water into the TSW, and
Collect data to calibrate groundwater models.
The strategic locations of monitoring wells were developed by the HWG, and monitoring well clusters
were installed from December 2014 through August 2015. On-site monitoring well clusters at the
CEMEX site, as required by the COP, include MW-1, MW-3, and MW4 (Figure 2). Off-site wells, which
provide regional data for evaluation of potential impacts, include MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, MW-8, and
MW-9 (Figure 2). The established monitoring well network has been equipped with water level
transducers and conductivity transmitters that continually log information in 5 to 15 minute intervals,
depending on the specific well completion.
Each monitoring well cluster consists of three wells. The individual wells were drilled to monitor
responses in the Dune Sand, 180-FTE, 180-Foot, and 400-Foot Aquifers (e.g., MW-1S, MW-1M, and MW-
1D, respectively). However, monitoring data has indicated that MW-5S is screened in a perched aquifer
that lies above the Dune Sand Aquifer, rather than the Dune Sand Aquifer itself. Therefore, the
monitoring well has been re-designated as MW-5S(P) to indicate that it is a shallow screened monitoring
well that provides representative groundwater levels in a perched aquifer. Similarly, MW-6D is likely in
the lower portion of the 180-Foot Aquifer. Therefore, the monitoring well has been re-designated as
Monitoring Well MW-6M(L) to indicate that the well provides representative groundwater levels of the
deeper portion of the 180-Foot Aquifer.
Several existing wells have also been monitored for water level and salinity, including the Monterey
Regional Water Pollution Control Agency Plant (MRWPCA) Well 1, and CEMEX North Well (Figure 2).
Although not required for permit compliance, a stilling well was installed at the north end of the
CEMEX's dredge pond (CP 1) and was monitored from April 22, 2015 until it was washed away in the
storm of early December 2015.
Due to time constraints and the limitation of the working area near the TSW, the MW-2 cluster was not
constructed. However, the requirements of the permit to have a minimum of four monitoring points on
the CEMEX site were met through the installation of a total nine monitoring wells on the CEMEX site,
plus monitoring of the CEMEX well.

be lower salinity for the reasons described above. Alternatively, the lower salinity observed at
MW-5M could reflect the combined effects of inland pumping well locations and aquifer
heterogeneity.
The relatively low to moderate salinity reported at well MW-6M is likely due to it being located
towards the leading edge of seawater intrusion in the 180-Foot Aquifer, and the shape of the
seawater intrusion wedge.
High chloride concentrations in MW-6M(L), screened in the lower portion of the 180-Foot
Aquifer, demonstrates the presence of the seawater intrusion wedge at this location.
The electrical conductivity of the TSW discharge was also continuously measured using Horiba and YSI
conductivity instruments with flow-through cells. Plotted TSW discharge conductivity data show a
distinct seasonal trend with increasing conductivity in the months after summer, followed by a
decreasing or flattening trend in conductivity during and following winter months. Recent declines in
TSW discharge conductivity follow the seventh wettest year since 1895. The additional recharge from
areal precipitation, along with the infiltration of lower salinity water at the CEMEX percolation ponds, is
suspected to be the main contributor to the decrease in salinity. While the influence of the percolation
ponds should not affect the proposed new full-scale slant wells, it is anticipated that seasonal rainfall
will still result in some freshening of slant well discharge though not to the extent that occurred in
2016/2017 in the TSW.
1.2.5 Evaluation of Stanford Aerial Electromagnetic Data Survey
Stanford University was contracted by Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) to conduct an aerial
geophysical survey using the electrical resistivity method. The survey was conducted in mid-May 2017
(during a historical wet year) with the purpose of evaluating the distribution of aquifers and water
quality in the vicinity of the City of Marina. An overlay of the geology on the Stanford profile shows an
unsaturated zone above a perched water table in the Marina uplands, a seawater wedge in the 180-Foot
Aquifer, and seawater intrusion throughout the profile in the 400-Foot Aquifer. These observations and
interpretations related to the Stanford profile are consistent with MPWSP monitoring well data and the
hydrogeologic conceptual model developed by the HWG. However, the resistivity shown on the
geophysical logs and Stanford AEM represent the bulk resistivity of the aquifer sediments combined
with the resistivity of the water within the aquifer. This is not equivalent to the resistivity (or
conductivity by inverse) of the groundwater within the aquifer.
The Stanford geophysical survey provides data to help interpolate between control points provided by
the MPWSP monitoring network and confirms the work completed for the hydrogeologic investigation
regarding the distribution of water quality in the study area.

refined conceptual model is adequate for developing useful groundwater models for evaluating
MPWSP effects. Hydrogeologic conditions at the CEMEX site and modeling analyses show that
the CEMEX site is an appropriate site for construction of subsurface slant well intakes to extract
seawater for the proposed MPWSP feedwater supply; the coastal and subsea portions of the
Dune Sand and 180-FTE Aquifers in the vicinity of the CEMEX site are adequate for extraction of
feedwater for the desalination project, meeting both quantity and quality requirements.
Test Slant Well Monitoring System Installation: Installation of the TSW monitoring system
allowed for the collection of geologic, hydrogeologic, and operational data as well as an
evaluation of site-specific groundwater level and quality conditions in the vicinity of the project
site. These data have allowed for an adequate definition of heads, flow paths, and water quality
within the groundwater system, and allows for predictions to be made regarding long-term
groundwater impacts from the MPWSP. Specific findings include:
o The monitoring network (well MW-5S(P) in particular) also confirmed the presence of a
"perched aquifer 2" in the dune highland area in the vicinity of the landfill, which is
correlative with shallow landfill monitoring wells (screened in the 35-Foot Aquifer).
o The perched aquifer may also be correlative with the shallow perched zones located in
the Fort Ord area (the "A" Aquifer).
o The Dune Sand Aquifer is not in hydraulic continuity with the shallow perched aquifer.
o The Dune Sand Aquifer at the CEMEX site is hydraulically connected to the -2-Foot
Aquifer monitored at the landfill site and thus hydraulically continuous with shallow
sediments (Perched 'A' Aquifer) below the Salinas River.
o The lack of the SVA or other significant clay layers between the Dune Sand and 180-FTE
Aquifers at the CEMEX site minimizes the differences in impacts on inland water levels
from pumping from both aquifers versus just the Dune Sand Aquifer.
o The Dune Sand, 180-FTE, and 400-Foot Aquifers generally had inland gradients during
the Fall of 2015 and Spring of 2016.
o During TSW pumping, as anticipated, a localized seaward gradient was formed in the
vicinity of the TSW due to the cone of depression (radial flow to the TSW) in the
groundwater levels.
o The groundwater divide that forms between MW-3 and MW-4 when the TSW is
operating, along with water level and quality data collected from MW-4, show that the
TSW has had no impact at MW-4 during the approximate 2 1/2-year pumping period.

A perched aquifer has an artificially high water level (i.e., above the main regional aquifer).

12
The network should continue to be monitored during the full-scale system construction and
operation. Additional monitoring wells should also be sited to fill in data gaps and collect
additional baseline data in anticipation of the full-scale system being operational. This will
enable the extent of the actual capture zone to be monitored.
Test Slant Well Construction: The selected drilling and construction methodology for the TSW
was appropriate for the specific conditions and goals of the project. Full-scale slant wells can be
drilled and constructed using the same methodology (i.e., dual rotary method). The Dune Sand
Aquifer and 180-FTE Aquifers extend offshore at the CEMEX site and are target aquifers for a sea
water reverse osmosis (SWRO) feedwater supply. The well length achieved for the TSW was
limited by a combination of factors, but primarily due to a reduced time schedule and not by the
technology employed for well construction.
Based on information gained from constructing the TSW, minor modifications to well drilling
and completion procedures will be made to improve and maintain efficiency for drilling the full-
scale slant well system. The full-scale system will incorporate well screens in both the Dune Sand
Aquifer and the 180-FTE Aquifer since target feedwater volumes will require pumping from both
aquifers.
Long-Term Test Slant Well Pumping: The long-term pumping test and monitoring show that
slant well technology can provide the required project extraction volumes from the Dune Sand
and 180-FE Aquifers. The overall range of anticipated production is consistent with the TSW
long-term pumping test rate of approximately 2,000 gpm. The salinity of the full-scale discharge
will be influenced by seasonal variations in rainfall, but over the long-term is expected to
average upwards of 95% reflecting a high percentage from ocean water sources. The long-
term TSW pumping is expected to continue through February of 2018 with continuous
monitoring of local and regional changes in groundwater salinity.
On-going calibration of the CEMEX model will help better define what the optimum slant
wellfield operational and rotational pumping schedules should be prior to implementation of
full-scale operations. The NMGWM update and recalibration will allow a better understanding
of the spatial and temporal impacts (both regional and local); specifically, the changes and
trends of water levels and water quality as the result of changes in pumping stress for various
hydrologic periods (i.e., wet, dry, average) will be evaluated. The regional model is currently
being refined and updated by MCRWA. The refined and updated regional model will be
reviewed regarding boundary conditions in the CEMEX Model and NMGWM going forward.
HydroFocus Evaluation of Future Impacts from the MPWSP: HydroFocus determined that the
likely sources of uncertainty in the NMGWM2016 were associated with estimations of sea level

13
rise, hydraulic conductivity values, and assumed project operations. Key findings from the
HydroFocus modeling evaluation are summarized below:
o A range of distances to an arbitrary 1-foot drawdown contour was provided to quantify

uncertainty in sea level rise, hydraulic conductivity, and pumping layer allocation
distribution. The estimated distances are approximately 6,000 ft to more than 17,000 ft
in Model Layer 2, and almost 6,000 ft to 19,000 ft in Model Layer 4 for the 15.5 MGD
project. Although 1-foot of drawdown is considered insignificant, the distances to a
1-foot drawdown contour are provided as a point of reference in regard to the influence
of project pumping. These extents are in agricultural areas with no production wells
completed in the target aquifers due to the brackish nature of the ambient groundwater
in the Dune Sand and 180-FTE Aquifers in these areas.
o At the CEMEX site, the general size of the capture zone is greater in Model Layer 2 than
Model Layer 4, and decreases with increasing simulated inland gradients.
o Particle tracking results show that project pumping at the CEMEX site inhibits (slows)
seawater intrusion in the southern portion of Model Layer 4 as well as in other areas.
Project slant well pumping at the CEMEX site has little to no effect on saltwater
intrusion in Model Layer 6.
1.5 Recommendations
Results from the Hydrogeologic Investigation have led to the following recommendations:
It is our understanding that a 15.5 MGD feedwater supply project is the likely project going
forward (6.4 MGD product water). The proposed wellfield, located just south of the TSW within
the allowable footprint, consists of five (5) production wells and a provision for two (2) standby
wells. Wells will be rotated periodically during operation to optimize water levels and salinity for
feedwater supply.
Full-scale slant wells should fully penetrate and include screened sections in both the Dune Sand
and 180-FTE Aquifers to meet proposed project extraction rates and volumes.
The well will extend as far offshore as possible with a target length of 1,000 lineal feet, while
keeping the well screen above the 180/400-Foot Aquitard. The wells are planned to be drilled at
an angle of approximately 14 degrees below the horizontal to ensure that all screens remain
above the 180/400-Foot Aquitard.
Installation of a new monitoring well near the boundary of the area of influence of the project
will allow for the assessment of drawdown due to Project pumping by identifying changes due
to the much larger impacts of local pumping.

14
Since the existing monitoring well network already accounts for uncertainty in model
estimations, the existing monitoring well network can be used to monitor water levels at the
onset of full-scale pumping. Data collected, including water level changes from the increased
full-scale extractions, should be used to update and refine the CEMEX Model and NMGWM.

It is recommended that the Water Authority Board approve participation with other
public agencies and California American Water to fund retention of a facilitator to lead
the settlement meetings seeking to resolve conflicts pertaining to the Monterey
Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) at issue in CPUC Proceeding A.12.04.019,
with the Water Authoritys portion of funding not to exceed $7,000.
DISCUSSION:
On November 13, 2017, Water Authority representatives participated in an initial

settlement meeting with Cal Am and the intervening parties to A.12.04.019 to discuss
the parties various interests and settlement concepts in an effort to resolve persistent
conflicts concerning the MPWSP. The initial meeting went well with universal support to
meet and further explore means to resolve differences and avoid costly, time-
consuming, and uncertain litigation. At the end of the meeting, the parties discussed the
prospect of retaining a professional facilitator to lead the settlement effort.
Following that meeting, several of the parties discussed potential facilitators and the
Water Authoritys Special Counsel proposed facilitator Marci DuPraw, of the Center for
Collaborative Policy, a branch of Cal State Sacramento. Ms. DuPraw has extensive
experience managing and settling multi-party, natural resource conflicts. Her full resume
is at Attachment A. An abbreviated resume will provided in hard copy at the Board
meeting. There appears to be broad support to retain Ms. DuPraw for an approximate
four-month period to serve as the facilitator.
1
Ms. DuPraw has proposed a budget and scope of engagement as follows:
Labor / Marci (from Santa Cruz base) - 180 hrs

Labor / Assistant (from Bay Area base) at 5 meetings to document details 75 hrs
Labor (optional, for strategic / collegial insights) 8 hrs
Travel costs
Added 5% indirect rate, which CSUS adds to all CCP labor.
Total: $48,235.
To fund her services, it has been proposed that the six public parties to A.12.04.019
(Marina, MCWD, MPWMD, MOW, the County, and the Water Authority) together with
Cal-Am each share in the costs of her services, subject to a not-to-exceed cap of
$7,000 per party. The MPWMD would manage the contract with Ms. DuPraw and enter
into a reimbursement agreement with these parties. There appears to be general
support among the parties for this funding approach, but final commitments are still
being worked out.
The Executive Director and Authority President discussed and reviewed the estimated
time requirements and budget, and were assured by Ms. Dupraw that the contract could
be awarded on a not-to-exceed basis to control costs. The Water Authoritys
participation would be contingent upon participation of Cal Am, Marina, MCWD,
MPWMD, MOW, at a minimum. The County will be asked to participate as well.
The next settlement meeting is scheduled for December 19th.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2017-2018 Budget programs $10,000 for contract services other than AMP and
the annual audit. Thus there are sufficient funds available in the budget at this time to
fund the Water Authority share of the Facilitator contract.
