Project Summary: Excerpts from the Executive |

Click here to read the complete Executive Summary (PDF) 1.1 Project Summary Existing Conditions The proposed Seawater Desalination Project at Huntington Beach site is approximately 11 acres in size and would be located adjacent to the Applied Energy Services Corporation (AES) LLC Huntington Beach Generating Station (HBGS), within the southeastern portion of the City of Huntington Beach (City) at 21730 Newland Street. In 2001, AES Huntington Beach, LLC acquired the property from Southern California Edison (SCE). The existing HBGS uses a once through cooling system with an offshore intake and outfall. The site for the proposed desalination facility is situated on an unused fuel oil storage tank area.... In addition to the desalination facility site (refer to Exhibit 3-6, CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN), the proposed project will include several related off-site improvement, including pipelines between the existing HBGS ocean intake/outfall lines and the proposed desalination project, up to approximately 10 miles of water delivery pipeline and two underground pump stations. The intake/discharge pipelines would be located entirely within the existing HBGS site and would not require modifications to the coastal/marine portions of the existing HBGS ocean intake/discharge facilities. The water delivery pipeline would be up to approximately 10 miles in length, extending from the proposed desalination facility to the OC-44 water transmission line within the city of Costa Mesa, east of State Route 55 (SR-55) at the intersection of Del mar Avenue and Elden Avenue. The majority of the pipeline alignment will occur within the existing public streets, easements, or other rights-of-way (ROW) in urbanized areas. Although precise pipeline alignments may be modified during final engineering analyses, the conceptual pipeline alignments are shown in Exhibit 3-3, CONCEPTUAL PIPELINE ALIGNMENTS.... Proposed Project The proposed Seawater Desalination Project at Huntington Beach consists of the construction and operation of a 50 million gallon per day (MGD) or 56,000 acre-feet per year (afy) seawater desalination facility by Poseidon Resources Corporation that would provide a supplemental and alternative source of potable water to Orange County. The desalination facility would withdraw source water from the existing HBGS cooling system discharge pipe, purify it utilizing reverse osmosis (RO) technology, discharge concentrated seawater water back to the existing HBGS outfall, to blend with remaining HBGS discharge and deliver potable product water to the distribution system.... Improvements associated with the proposed project would include seawater intake system pretreatment facilities, the desalination facility utilizing reverse osmosis (RO) technology, post treatment facilities, product water storage, landscaping, chemical storage, and a booster pump station. Also, the project would require the demolition of three fuel storage tanks and the remediation of any soil/groundwater impacted by contamination associated with pervious site usage as a fuel storage facility. In addition, the existing interior berms would be demolished while the existing exterior berms would remain as is. Structures on the desalination facility building, pretreatment filter structure, chemical storage/solids handling building, bulk chemical storage building, product water and influent pump stations (situated underground) and surge tank, rinse tank, lime silos, wash water tank carbon dioxide tanks, ammonia tank, an electrical substation building, an aboveground product water tank, and appurtenant facilities (refer to Exhibit 3-6, CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN).... ....The off-site underground booster pump stations are needed as part of the distribution system. The first off-site underground booster pump station (the “OC-44” pump station) is proposed to be located within an unincorporated area of the County of Orange along the eastern border of the City of Newport Beach, approximately 1.5 miles south of the University of California, Irvine, within an Orange County Reserve Preservation Easement.... The second underground booster pump station (the “Coastal Junction” pump station) would be located in the parking lot of St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church, at 4949 Alton Parkway within the City of Irvine (refer to Exhibit 3-5, COASTAL JUNCTION BOOSTER PUMP STATION LOCATION MAP). The underground pump station would be constructed within the north/northwestern portion of the church parking lot, in an area used for both parking and volleyball activities. The pump station wold be entirely underground except for a small pipe vent and a ground-level steel access door for maintenance (the access door would not impede parking after construction)....” |
