Principal Hydrogeologist │Perchlorate Cleanup Project – Proposition 1 Grant Funding Project │ Water Replenishment District of Southern California │ 2020 – 2022

The Water Replenishment District (WRD) is currently investigating and is cleaning up perchlorate in groundwater with the assistance of various regulatory agencies in association with our Los Angeles Fore bay Groundwater Task Force. The perchlorate concentrations detected in groundwater are among the highest in the state and the impacted groundwater is currently located in a deep aquifer system within the Los Angeles Forebay. This is a particularly sensitive area of the basin as the groundwater (along with contaminants) can migrate through the coarse-grained sediments directly into the regional aquifer system representing a substantially imminent threat to the Central Basin and West Coast Basin (or CBWCB). Perchlorate has already been detected at elevated levels and is currently having to be addressed in at least two municipal water supply wells located down-gradient of the City of Vernon. The source of the perchlorate is unknown and a responsible party (RP) has not been identified by the either the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) or Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB). We have been helping with this ongoing effort designing and expanding the triple-nested monitoring well system and refining the understanding of the perchlorate plume and migration, as well as the RP and extraction well systems.

WRD successfully applied for and received a grant for over $7 million from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) through the Proposition 1 Groundwater Grant Program (Proposition 1). The State grant funds help pay for approximately 80% of the cleanup construction costs to address the perchlorate impacts along with other comingled volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In 2021, a groundwater extraction and treatment system will be installed to immediately reduce contaminant concentrations within the perchlorate "hot spot" to help prevent any further migration into the CBWCB. Additional data will be collected during the investigation phase to help support the various regulatory agencies in identifying the perchlorate source and yet to be determined RP.
