About this opportunity

OVERVIEW The Grassland Water District (GWD) is a California Water District formed under Section 34000 of the State Water Code. The District is approximately 51,537 acres in size with the majority of this land in wetland habitat. The District’s primary function is the delivery of water to the landowners within its boundaries. The canal system for carrying out water deliveries is approximately 110 miles in length and is operated and maintained by the GWD. GWD and Reclamation have installed a water monitoring system within Grassland Resource Conservation District (GRCD). The system has been used for water conservation purposes and as a demonstration for RTMP. Reclamation and GWD intend to partner along with other agencies to demonstrate a pilot study for the management of waters potentially high in salinity concentrations. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to demonstrate how salt loads in waters may be managed through a RTMP. The RTMP is a Stakeholder driven water management program that will evaluate the data from GRCD’s pilot study and determine its applicability for full scale operation within the westside San Joaquin region. GWD shall provide data on water salt loads imported and exported through GRCD. The information will be used to develop a water management program to meet salinity objectives as required by the Salt and Boron Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) 2014 compliance deadline. This water monitoring project is a proposed two-year study which will monitor and report the volume of water, as well as salt load, of all major water sources entering the wetlands of the GRCD, key inter-conveyance points of mixing, deliveries to state federal and private wetlands, and all major outflows draining from the region to the Lower San Joaquin River (LSJR). The real time publically available web enabled data provides decision support to wetland and water managers to maximize water conservation and water quality within the GRCD which in turn minimizes spill and maximizes water quality discharged to the LSJR. The RTMP monitoring project assists in meeting the Program to Meet Standards objectives for the Secretary, “to undertake a program to investigate and identify opportunities to reduce salt loads to the San Joaquin River. The benefits of the Project are multi-purpose. This Project will assist Reclamation in fulfilling its responsibilities under 102-575, as amended, and other related legislation towards improving water quality, collaborating with interested parties, and demonstrating water management operations. The Project will enhance water conservation, habitat restoration and management, and improve salt loads discharged to the LSJR. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Grasslands Water District shall perform the following: GWD shall manage the RTMP within the GRCD. GWD shall operate and maintain about 50 existing water monitoring stations (monitoring volume and salt) within the GRCD wetland complex including: key inter-conveyance points of mixing, select wetland impoundments, and outlets leaving the wetland complex. GWD shall report on the dynamics of water movement and its salt load within the wetland complexes, and drainages from the GRCD. RECLAMATION INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement between Reclamation and Grassland Water District is anticipated during the performance of the project. Reclamation’s responsibilities include: Real Time Management Support Reclamation with GWD assistance will be supporting the development of a RTMP for salt and boron to comply with the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. GWD shall provide input to all stages of the process. The current project will provide the basic monitoring infrastructure upon which a preliminary real-time water quality management program can be based. Real-time water quality management requires monitoring, forecast modeling for river assimilative capacity, and a user friendly management model.
