6. NIBW Area “Facts of Life” zMany groundwater producers/users zConflicting water rights and competing interests zHistorical pumping for drinking water and irrigation uses zWide-spread groundwater depletion and inorganic impacts zContaminant occurrence/movement a result of groundwater pumping and wells

7. Integrating Remediation with Groundwater Resource Management zPartner with groundwater users zUtilize existing wells, infrastructure, and groundwater pumping zCoordinate groundwater extraction for optimum plume management zBuild-in versatility of treatment systems to meet needs of water users and their demands zManage other water resource issues 4Wide-spread groundwater depletion and inorganic impacts

8. Big 3 Groundwater Producers zCity of Scottsdale yLocal water provider for municipal end use yTied into OU-1 Remedy (required to pump > 6,300 gpm) zParadise Valley Water Company (AAWC) yLocal water provider for municipal end use ySmall private water company owned by AWWSC yWell field north of Site is main source ( > 12,000 gpm capacity) zSalt River Project yRegional water provider for municipal/agricultural end use yExport groundwater from Scottsdale to West Valley yImpacted water supply wells ( > 6,000 gpm capacity) augment surface water supply

9. COS Pump and Treat System zExpanded pump and treatment capacity to meet demands zConducted detailed evaluation of fluid flow and contaminant distribution in production wells zReplaced existing well for enhanced LAU mass capture zPrioritized well pumping/increased monitoring frequency zUpgraded treatment system to facilitate use of priority wells and assure safe drinking water zAided evaluation of nitrate and hardness impacts

10. Central Groundwater Treatment Facility (CGTF) z5 existing supply wells z9,450 gpm capacity z3 phases of plant modifications: 1995/98/00 zPotable water source z10+ MGD treatment z4,000 + lbs/year TCE removal

11. Paradise Valley Initiative zPublic/private partnership zPhased construction decision process zDetailed hydrogeologic characterization tied to remedial design zConstruction on accelerated schedule zActive community participation

12. Arizona-American Water Company Miller Road Treatment Facility z6,300 gpm capacity zVersatile piping, plant operations, controls, and discharge zPotable water to PVWC and SRP zUnique cooperation and water exchange

13. Salt River Project Agreement zProvided water supply via NIBW and M52 remedy to replace impacted wells 4NIBW Pump and Treat Systems (4,000 gpm) 4OU-2 Pump and Treat System (~ 5,400 gpm) zPrioritize well use to achieve better capture/minimize impacts to clean wells zAchieves reduced pumping in NIBW and reliable end use at M52

14. Northern LAU Plume Management zFocused/consistent groundwater extraction for greatest mass capture zOptimize use of treatment system to meet variable demands zReduced pumpage of clean wells outside the plume to minimize impacts and assure containment zAllows conjunctive use of surface water to reduce groundwater pumpage of basin
