Title: Temporary Change in Water Quality Requirements for the Friant-Kern Canal Groundwater Pump-in Program
Summary: Reclamation proposes to temporarily change the selenium maximum contaminant level (MCL) in the upper portion of the DMC from 2 ppb to 5 ppb for the DMC Groundwater Pump-in Program. The change is only in effect between May 1, 2014 and August 30, 2014. The selenium MCL for wells in the lower portion of the Delta Mendota Canal (DMC) is unchanged. The temporary change would allow an additional 14 wells to cumulatively pump up to 33 cubic feet per second of groundwater into the upper portion of the DMC under the previously approved DMC Groundwater Pump-in Program. This would provide approximately 65.34 AF per day. This water is included in the cumulative total (50,000 AF per year) allowed under the DMC Groundwater Pump-in Program.
