Dry Creek Recycled Water Groundwater Recharge Feasibility Study
In 2001, SGA was awarded a grant in the amount of $100,000 from the Safe
Drinking Water, Clean Water, Watershed Protection, and Flood Protection
Act (Proposition 13) for the City of Roseville to study feasible uses
of recycled water. The total project cost was estimated at $287,500, with
the balance funded by the City of Roseville. The study investigated legal
and water rights issues as well as conducted a technical analysis of direct
and in-lieu recharge opportunities for water recycled through the City
of Roseville's Dry Creek Wastewater Plant. The feasibility study was completed
in June 2004.

Environmental Water Account (EWA) Banking and
Exchange Pilot Project
In 2002, SGA entered into an agreement with the CALFED Bay-Delta Program
EWA for a one-year sale of surface water. The surface water was acquired
by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on behalf of the EWA. Local demands
were subsequently met by the recovery of previously banked groundwater.
The exchange amounted to a one-year transfer of 7,143 acre-feet.

Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) Pilot Banking and Exchange
Project
In 1999/2000, a pilot study was conducted between SGA, SAFCA, and the
U. S. Bureau of Reclamation as a means of exercising the groundwater storage
potential of the region and investigating the mechanics of a large-scale
banking and exchange program.
In this pilot study, an on-call surface water supply was provided to SAFCA.
Specifically, SAFCA diverted and stored (banked) 2,100 acre-feet of water
in the basin. The following year, surface water in the amount of 1,995
acre-feet was made available by exchange through the extraction of groundwater
in-lieu of diverting a Central Valley Project supply from Folsom Lake.
SAFCA used this water on an as-needed basis to satisfy its refill obligations
associated with Folsom Lake flood control operations.
