CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Protect and Enhance Watersheds and Ecosystems that Provide Water Quality and Supply Benefits
The project goal is to achieve zero discharge to Atascadero Creek and provide tertiary treatment. Reclaimed water will be used to irrigate approx. 100 acres of vineyard, redwoods, native grasses and woodlands. Irrigated plants will uptake and treat effluent and treat non-point source runoff from up-gradient livestock operations. Treated effluent in excess of evapotranspiration will filter through forest soil and recharge groundwater and enhance riparian vegetation. Wildlife habitat will thus be improved in riparian areas. Influent will be reduced via water conservation programs and reduction of storm water infiltration.
