Crescent City Area Regional Water Supply Augmentation
Project Overview
Basics
Crescent City Area Regional Water Supply Augmentation
NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 2 (DWR)
Implementation
Crescent City supplies water to an economically disadvantaged region from a single well near the Smith River. The shallow nature and proximity to the River make it vulnerable to surface water impacts (including hazardous materials spills) and drawdown during drought conditions. Crescent City is requesting funding for planning, design and installation of 2 new 12" municipal well(s) in the Smith River Groundwater Basin on property owned by the City adjacent to the main transmission line.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The City of Crescent City serving approximately 17,840 people, proposes to develop two new municipal groundwater wells to improve the resilience of the only major water source in the area. The City’s water is supplied from the Smith River via a well point type structure known and patented as a "Ranney Well." The well is located on the bank of the Smith River approximately 8.5 miles north of the City limits. Without a secondary water source the City is vulnerable to be without water should their Ranney Well be contaminated, or require any significant maintenance or repairs causing down time on this one water supply source. The final proposed project includes: planning, permitting, and drilling a test well that extends to bedrock to evaluate the hydrogeologic conditions specific to the Site and verify the depths and specifications for the two proposed wells. Upon completion of the pump test the test well can be converted into a monitoring well or emergency water source.
