TMDL nutrient reduction
OVSDs discharge permit is tied to river water quality. As
part of that requirement (section A 22) specifically
addresses water levels. This has not been considered.
The TMDL has even more stringent limitations and
monitoring requirements.

been conducted for lower river and

established for lower river and estuary.

38
Environmental Issues Identified by Stakeholders
Issues
Many months and some years the river does not need the
water so put it to productive use.
When the river needs the water then discharge the effluent.
San Antonio Creek is good steelhead habitat. Establish new
discharge point in San Antonio Creek, collect surplus water at
Foster Park diversion and treat in existing
gp
plant.
Use of water for recreation in lower river.
Fish-Irrigation.
How will the additional water reductions affect downstream
and estuary water quality?
How will they affect downstream and estuary dissolved
oxygen concentrations?

Recycled Water
Alternatives
43
Possible concepts for recycled water
alternatives that work within constraints
• Lower diversion flow
– 0.25 to 0.5 mgd
• Seasonal diversion
– Flow based trigger for
diversion
Reuse
Impacts
44
To implement a diversion there are data
gaps that need to be filled
• Formal habitat survey
• Flow regime for steelhead
• Improved hydrologic
balance
– Additional data collection
– Water budget analysis
45
Seasonal diversion concept relies on a
flow based trigger for diversion
• Flowdiversion = Flowriver –Flowsteelhead
• Feasibility
y issues
– User that can accept variable
supply
– Variable treatment flow
– Sufficient flow for reuse to be
cost effective
Flowdiversion
46
Existing flow monitoring indicates some
potential for a seasonal diversion

For the City to attempt to recycle the OVSD discharge
