Huntington Beach Desalination Plant to Preserve, Enhance and Restore Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve – California In conjunction with the operation of its proposed Huntington Beach Desalination Project, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a final draft permit on June 30th that requires Poseidon Water to assume responsibility for the preservation, enhancement and restoration of the Ecological Reserve (Bolsa Chica) wetlands. The Regional Board is scheduled to vote on the Permit July 30th. This preservation action â helping maintain a functioning ocean inlet â is the lifeblood of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve wetlands, which is the largest saltwater marsh between Monterey Bay and the Tijuana [âŠ] Huntington Beach Desalination Plant to Preserve, Enhance and Restore Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve – CaliforniaHIWI042020-07-10T13:55:52+02:00
Online-Only Public Comment for Poseidon Desalination Plant Public Hearing Draws Criticism – California A state regional water board is drawing public criticism in Orange County for holding meetings on a controversial desalination plant in Huntington Beach, while public participation can only be done virtually amid the coronavirus health crisis. The Santa Ana Regional Quality Control Board is meeting this morning to hold a public hearing on Poseidon Waterâs request for a permit renewal for their facility, which would be built on 12 acres of a power plant and produce 50 million gallons of water per day, according to water district staff.

Poseidon desal plant gets fresh analysis, but coronavirus delays Friday meeting – California A water board staff report prepared for the meeting provides apparent justification for the board to approve the project, but it also notes the board may disagree and request a revision. Poseidon Water needs just two more permits to go forward â one from the water board and then one from the Coastal Commission The workshop planned for Friday was to follow up a similar session held in December.

Possible Water Board hearing on desalination plant is nearing – California Those supporting Poseidon Waterâs plans to build a saltwater-to-freshwater conversion factory on the Huntington Beach coast certainly hoped the desalination project would be moving forward in earnest by now. A December 2019 vote on the desalination plant was put off, however, and Poseidon would have to wait a few more months before knowing whether it would be allowed to go forward with its ambitious $1 billion project.

Final vote on proposed desalination plant permit in Huntington Beach expected in April – California The Santa Ana Regional Water Board held a workshop on Dec. 6 on the permit renewal of Poseidon Waterâs proposed Huntington Beach desalination project; the permit is on pace for a final vote in April 2020. Poseidon Water is seeking to build a $1 billion desalination plant on a 12-acre parcel at the current AES Huntington Beach Generating Station on Newland Street. Previous permits were issued in 2006 and 2012, under which no construction took place.

Huntington Beach desalination plant eyes approval, but foes turn out in force – California With Poseidon Waterâs plans for a Huntington Beach desalination plant approaching the homestretch, critics were as adamant as ever at a Friday workshop, where dozens complained the proposal is environmentally flawed, unneeded and would jack up water rates.

Huntington Beach desalination project would help meet regionâs water needs – Huntington Beach – California – USA As the price of imported water continues to rise, and technological advances for seawater desalination improve efficiencies, Californiaâs time to turn ocean water into drinking water has come. Orange County is poised to integrate purified ocean water into its drinking water portfolio, just as San Diego has successfully done by producing 35 billion gallons of drinking water from the Pacific Ocean in just three short years. The ocean is the worldâs largest reservoir; itâs always full and sits on our front doorstep.

Huntington Beach desalination plant may get subsurface Intake – USA – California Poseidonâs attempt to influence the State Lands Commission is too little, too late. Promising environmentally friendly methods in building a $1 billion desalination plant in Huntington Beach is not sufficient to overcome its past record of problems surrounding its Tampa Bay plant. The California Coastal Commission has suggested and urged Poseidon to use a subsurface intake pipe so that the sand would act as a filter for marine life, such as small fish, fish larvae and eggs, which Poseidon has rejected because of the expense.

Plans for the biggest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere received final California state approval – USA-California ⊠clearing the way for construction to start next year and for the plant to open north of San Diego in 2011. The California State Lands Commission, which unanimously approved the plant at a meeting in Los Angeles, was the last hurdle before construction can begin. The $300-million (about R2,1-billion) plant will turn seawater from a lagoon off Carlsbad into 50 million gallons of drinking water daily, enough to supply about 110,000 households and about 10 percent of the needs of San Diego County, home to 3 million people.
