Where would a full-scale plant be built?
Pilot plant evaluations will include a review of potential locations for the full-scale plant allowing use of existing infrastructure and identifying any potential impacts to surrounding properties. Based on the City of Santa Cruz Integrated Water Plan Program EIR, the environmentally superior plant location is within the industrial area of Santa Cruz’s west side. The area is bounded by Mission Street and the Southern Pacific Railroad to the north, Natural Bridges Drive to the west, Swift Street to the east, and Delaware Avenue to the south. The recommendation is not parcel-specific.
