1. Grant Agreement Number: 04-091-554-0

2. Project Title: Dominguez Gap Wetlands Multiuse Project 3. Project Purpose – Problem Being Addressed: Southern California imports hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water each year from outside sources including the Bay-Delta area. Maintaining high quality local water supply is essential to reducing long-term dependence on imported supplies.

The Dominguez Gap Wetlands Multiuse Project will improve the quality of water recharged to the aquifer by converting the East Basin into a treatment wetlands. The East Basin has a very low percolation rate due to a clay soil layer, so convering its use will not significantly diminish the recharge capacity of the Spreading Grounds. Water passing through the East Basin will be treated by the wetlands, improving water quality for groundwater infiltration. As high quality groundwater is recharged into the aquifer, it will improve the overall water quality in the acquifer, ultimately improving the drinking water quality at the tap for thousands of local residents who use a combination of local groundwater and imported water for their domestic supply. The basins will aslo be developed with passive multiuse amenities including trails, shade structures, and interpretive signage.
