AquAlliance submitted technical comments with historical background on Glenn Colusa Irrigation District’s environmental impact report to install 5 more production wells to add to their existing portfolio of 5 production wells. The 10-wells “… would be operated as needed during dry and critically dry water years to achieve a maximum cumulative total annual pumping volume of 28,500 ac-ft,” in an 8.5 month period. (DEIR at p.2-1 and 2-3) This amount of water is more than what the entire City of Chico uses in 12 months with California Water Service Company wells.
