HOURS: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. CONSTRUCTION DATES, HOURS AND LOCATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. In order to expedite the construction, two temporary drilling rigs (one 60 feet tall and the other 40 feet tall) will be in use 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for approximately two consecutive months. Special noise-reducing sound barriers will be installed by the City’s contractor. Once drilling begins, it is a continuous around-the-clock operation with only intermittent periods of down time. The rigs will be removed after the drilling is completed. In order to reduce traffic and parking impacts to the public, construction equipment and vehicle access to Campus Park will be on K Street. There may be very short periods of no access to allow for the movement of construction materials, vehicles and personnel. The City appreciates your patience and understanding as we move forward with this sustainability project. IMPACTS: ASR WELL The ASR Well test system consists of the ASR well, three monitoring wells, and pumping equipment. The system transfers highly purified recycled water from the City’s Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF). This water is then injected into and stored in natural underground water storage areas or “aquifer zones.” The ASR Well system will be tested and monitored for six months with data being provided to the California Department of Drinking Water (DDW). Once the DDW approves the system, the City will have storage capacity for the AWPF’s highly purified recycled water during periods of low demand. After three months of underground storage, also known as “retention time,” the water can then be legally pumped back out and used as a potable resource. Additionally, water from the system can be used for landscape irrigation at Campus Park. This project will help reduce reliance on costly imported water, protect our groundwater resources, and provide a beneficial reuse of a scarce resource that would otherwise be discharged to the ocean. It is a vital component of the Groundwater Recovery, Enhancement and Treatment (GREAT) Program, furthering the City’s ability to provide a high quality, reliable, sustainable water supply.

En sus esfuerzos en curso para proveer un suministro de agua local, sostenible y confiable, la Ciudad está construyendo un Acuífero de agua reciclada, Sistema de prueba de Pozos de Recuperación y Almacenamiento (ASR). Este sistema almacena agua subterránea reciclada cuando la demanda es baja, luego la bombea hacia fuera cuando la demanda es alta.

PROYECTO DE CONSTRUCCIÓN DE AGUA SOSTENIBLESistema de Prueba del Pozo ASR de Campus Park

FECHAS DE CONSTRUCCIÓN: 3 de enero de 2017 – 3 de mayo de 2017UBICACIÓN: Campus Park de Oxnard entre la calle K y H y las calles cinco y segunda.HORAS: 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana.

FECHAS DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN, HORARIOS Y UBICACIÓNES ESTÁN SUJETAS A CAMBIOS.

Para poder acelerar la construcción, dos equipos de perforación temporales (uno de 60 pies de alto y el otro de 40 pies de alto) estará en uso 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana por aproximadamente dos meses consecutivos.Se instalarán barreras especiales para reducir el ruido por el contratista de la Ciudad. Una vez que comienza la perforación, es una operación continua durante todo el día con sólo períodos intermitentes de tiempo de inactividad. Los equipos serán retirados después de que se complete

la perforación.Para poder reducir el impacta de tráfico y estacionamiento al público, el equipo de construcción y el acceso de los vehículos a Campus Park estará en K Street. Podrá haber períodos cortos sin acceso para permitir el movimiento de materiales de construcción, vehículos y personal. La Ciudad agradece su paciencia y comprensión mientras avanzamos con este proyecto de sostenibilidad.

IMPACTOS:

POZO ASREl sistema de prueba del Pozo ASR consiste del pozo ASR, tres pozos de monitoreo, y equipos de bombeo. El sistema transfiere el agua reciclada altamente purificada de la Instalación Avanzada de Purificación de Agua (AWPF) de la Ciudad. Esta agua se inyecta y se almacena en áreas naturales de almacenamiento de agua subterránea o “zonas acuíferas.”

El sistema de Pozo del ASR será probado y monitoreado durante seis meses, con los datos siendo proveídos al Departamento de Agua Potable de California (DDW). Una vez que el DDW apruebe el sistema, la Ciudad tendrá la capacidad de almacenamiento para el agua reciclada altamente purificada de AWPF durante períodos de baja demanda. Después de tres meses de almacenamiento subterráneo, también conocido como “tiempo de retención,” el agua puede entonces ser bombeada legalmente de regreso afuera y ser usada como un recurso potable. Adicionalmente, el agua del sistema se puede usar para el riego del paisaje en Campus Park.

Este proyecto ayudará a reducir la dependencia de agua costosa importada, proteger nuestros recursos de aguas subterráneas, y proveer un reusó beneficial de un recurso escaso que de otro modo serían descargados al océano. Es un componente vital del Programa de Recuperación, Mejoramiento y Tratamiento de Aguas Subterráneas (GREAT), avanzando la habilidad de la Ciudad para proveer un suministro de agua de alta calidad, confiable y sostenible.
