A Unified Voice for Water Desalination And Salinity Management in the Golden State! Multi-State Salinity Coalition Annual Salinity Summit January 26, 2012 CalDesal

Mission Statement: “CalDesal is an advocate for clean, safe, reliable drinking water for California through environmentally responsible water desalination and salinity management.” MSSC January 26,

CalDesal Strategic/Business Plan:  Goal #1: Advocacy at the State Level  Goal #2: Develop Partnerships  Goal #3: Local Advocacy  Goal #4: Increase Membership 3 MSSC January 26, 2012

Statewide Advocacy:  Engage with Legislature  Engage with Administration  Engage with Regulators  Why You Should Care: – SWRCB Ocean Plan/Enclosed Bays and Estuary Review – SWRCB Desalination Policy – Brine Waste Discharge Regulation/Ocean Salinity Standards – CalDesal successful in adding transparency to this process! – Ocean Protection Council 4 MSSC January 26, 2012

SWRCB Desal and Brine Discharge Policy  Background Currently, desalination facilities are regulated under the NPDES program by the Regional Water Boards No provisions currently in the Ocean Plan specifically addressing intakes or brine discharges from desalination facilities The Ocean Plan does not include a salinity objective (Source SWRCB Staff Report April 18, 2011) MSSC January 26, 2012

SWRCB Desal and Brine Discharge Policy  SWRCB Staff propose: –Policy similar to OTC -93% entrainment reduction – Narrative standard within 10% of “natural” –Allow dilution within the Zone of Initial Dilution (ZID) –Prohibit intake from ‘impaired waters” MSSC January 26, 2012

SWRCB Desal and Brine Discharge Policy  Studies Planned to Inform Policy Decision  Brine Toxicity Study (Granite Canyon Labs)  Brine Disposal Expert Review Panel  Intake Impacts and Mitigation Expert Review Panel (Moss Landing Marine labs)  Enclosed Bays and Estuaries Plan MSSC January 26, 2012
