ASR Project Expansion
Expansion of the ASR Project is needed to:
• Address & mitigate potential adverse effects
that may result from overproduction from the
Seaside Groundwater Basin and to promote
the adequacy and integrity of the waters in the
basin
• Expansion is also based upon the lack of legal
Cal-Am water supplies resulting from
SWRCB Order WR 95-10
