Study Progress
An array of alternatives describing different levels of restoration was prepared and evaluated by the local jurisdictions. Several of these alternatives are being reformulated to better conform to current conditions and economic realities. This plan reformulation, to better assess changes to both land and water availability for the project, is continuing. Additionally several new alternatives are being drafted including an alternative that reflects the possibility that all of the effluent currently discharged into the Santa Cruz River will be diverted from the channel for municipal water needs. Once the reformulation of alternatives is complete, they will pass through a series of screenings, including a cost-benefit analysis, which will result in a final array of “best buy” alternatives. These best buy alternatives, along with the detailed technical analyses of how everything was evaluated and the recommended plan will be presented in the Draft Feasibility Report and its companion Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
