Frances Mizuno Februarv 14, 2001 (printed name of applicant) (date) Scope of Work SW Stanislaus County Regional Drainage Water Management- Marshall Drain Improvements Relevance and Importance 1. Abstract (Executive Summary) The proposal will be subdivided into two major work tasks or phases. A map indicating the project area is attached. Phase 1 is to develop and implement specific modifications to improve the operation of the Marshall Road Drain situated in southwest Stanislaus County within the next two years. The goal of these modifications will be geared specifically to: a) reducing the silt loading to the San Joaquin River; b) reducing Organophosphorus (OP) Pesticide levels in the drainage water discharged to the San Joaquin River; c) reducing constituents adversely affecting the dissolved oxygen level within the San Joaquin River; and d) developing new water through construction of operational spill and taiiwater recovery systems to further improve the local efficiency of water management. This effort will necessitate the cooperation of various agencies. The watershed tributary to Marshall Drain consists of approximately 6,800 irrigated acres. This acreage is primarily located within the Central California Irrigation District (CCID), Del Puerto Water District (DPWD), and Patterson Irrigation District (PID). Silt laden upslope surface drainage and operational spill water presently discharge from these Districts into the Drain and then into the San Joaquin River. Projects involving all three agencies are contemplated and will be developed into a final Marshall Road Drain Master Plan. One specific project proposed during the next two years is the design and construction of a 15 - 20 acre terminal desilting and spill water recovery reservoir adjacent to Marshall Drain. This would reduce direct discharges to the San Joaquin River and allow opportunities for improved water management by recyling this drain water back into the local irrigation supply. Other possible projects include the development of on-farm tailwater return systems within each District and necessary canal/distribution system improvements to further enhance water reuse flexibility. This project will partially address CALFED Quantifiable Objectives 81, 98, 101, 104, by reducing surface drainage discharge back into the San Joaquin River. The project will also partially address CALFED Quantifiable Objective 90 by developing additional water supplies, which could reduce diversion requirements by increasing operational flexibility. Phase 2 will be completed in the second year and will utilize the lessons learned from the development and implementation of the initial Marshall Road Drain Project to finalize and develop an overall master plan strategy for other watershed drainage channels within southwest Stanislaus County. The objectives for this study will also be items (a) to (d) listed under Phase 1. These drainage channels include Hospital Creek, lngram Creek, Del Puerto creek, the Spanish Land Grant Drain, and Orestimba Creek. The DPWD and CClD have already discussed the possibility of constructing a regional desilting and tailwater recovery reservoir for the Spanish Land Grant Drain adjacent to CCID's Main Canal. The master plan report will review this proposal and other water management options in the study area. The study area covers approximately 85,000 agricultural acres between Interstate 5 and the San Joaquin River from just southerly of Orestimba Creek to the Stanislaus/San Joaquin County line. In addition to the water agencies mentioned above, the drainage study area also includes a large portion of the West Stanislaus Irrigation District (WSID). The feasibility study will develop and analyze data

  • Irrigated Lands Regulatory Programs Coalition Approach to Salinity Related Exceedances
    Irrigated Lands Regulatory Programs Coalition approach to Salinity Related Exceedances The Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) agriculture water quality coalitions are actively engaged in the Central Valley Salinity Alternatives for Long term Sustainability (CVSALTS) process and a number are members of the Central Valley Salinity Coalition. In addition to the CVSALTS effort, coalitions whose members discharge to the San Joaquin River are working to implement the San Joaquin River at Vernalis Salinity and Boron Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). The Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program requires a coalition to prepare a management plan, if a water quality trigger is exceeded more than once in a three year period. The management plan must include the following elements: 1) identification of agricultural source; 2) identification of management practices to be implemented; 3) schedule for implementation of management practices; 4) management practice performance goals; 5) monitoring schedule; 6) process for evaluating management practice effectiveness; 7) identification of participants who will implement the plan; and 8) a schedule for reporting to the Central Valley Water Board. The Coalitions with salinity issues are generally relying on their participation in the CV- SALTS effort to address those management plan elements. A brief overview of the general approach used by ILRP Coalitions addressing salinity issues is provided below. WESTSIDE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER WATERSHED COALITION The Westside Coalitions primary goals/ activities associated with salinity are: • Identify sources of salinity within the Westside Coalition and variations in different areas. • Incorporate appropriate activities to address salinity as they are identified and required by the Central Valley Water Board. • Participate in ongoing Central Valley Water Board programs for the management of salinity • Conduct monitoring to track changes in TDS, EC, and boron to evaluate the impact of the strategy.
