Opponents commission simulation of what sea level rise, tsunamis could mean for Poseidon desal plant – California

Poseidon Water’s proposal for the plant is working its way through various agencies getting approvals necessary to start construction.

Those behind the project argue they have done their own research based on the standards used by the state looking at sea level rise and tsunami hazards in the area of the project and it would not be vulnerable given what was is forecast during its operating life.

The proposed desalination plant in Huntington Beach last year gained needed approvals from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, prompting two […]

Regional Water Board Approves Poseidon Permit, Coastal Commission to Weigh in Next – California

Poseidon Water has been granted a permit from the local water board for its controversial desalination plant in Huntington Beach, a project that has been in the works for roughly two decades.

Poseidon will still need to get approval from the California Coastal Commission in order to move forward with plans and will still need to finalize a purchase agreement with the Orange County Water District in order to have customers.

At the continued Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board hearing on April 29, the board voted 4-3 […]

3 environmental groups take 3 positions on Poseidon desalination plant – California

Among attributes of the controversial Poseidon desalination plant proposed for Huntington Beach is the $1.5 million or so it would spend annually to keep the tidal inlet open at the Bolsa Chica wetlands, five miles up the coast from the project site.

But as much as the money is needed there, the three non-profit groups dedicated to the wetlands’ preservation clash when it comes to support for the desalter plant.

The state spent $151 million to create the inlet in 2006, restoring the estuary’s interaction with the ocean and […]

Poseidon wins key permit for desalination plant in Huntington Beach – California

Poseidon, which has been working on the project for 22 years, now needs a permit from the state Coastal Commission before it can negotiate a final contract with the Orange County Water District to buy the water.

And, in the wake of the regional board’s decision, there’s likely an additional obstacle, as opponents of the project said they plan to appeal.

Proponents view desalted ocean water as insurance against worsening droughts brought on by climate change and the possibility that Orange County might get less imported water from […]

Permit terms might kill Poseidon desalination proposal in Huntington Beach – California

Recommended terms for a permit to build Poseidon Water’s controversial desalination plant in Huntington Beach would make it impossible to get financing for the $1.4 billion project, according to the developer.

Regulators question that claim, although they acknowledge that the requirements could create financing obstacles.

Poseidon’s three-year effort to win a permit from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board is scheduled to culminate within the next month, with a vote as soon as the board’s April 23 meeting.

Huntington Beach desalination plant may get subsurface Intake – USA – California

Poseidon’s 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.

The Orange County Water District has recently expanded its groundwater replenishment system […]

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.

Desalination is common in the Middle East, but […]
