I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Application proposes the conversion of two existing water storage ponds to
centralized water impoundments for production water. It is anticipated that the water being
stored will have been separated or gravity filtered.
The facility will be located on a 17.67 acre site as part of an overall 10,303 acre property
owned by OXY USA WTP LP. Two separate impoundments exist labeled east and west on
the site plan. Both are estimated to be at or slightly Tess than one acre of surface area.
Each has greater than 1 million gallons of storage capacity. The facility is served by
existing pipelines.
The site plan will include a pipe storage area, solar panels, natural gas generators, pumps,
and pipelines for operation of the facility. The impoundment will be upgraded with double
lining, leak detection, and monitoring wells. Wildlife fencing is in place. Operational staff
are anticipated to be on site only for monitoring and when water transfer/conveyance is
being conducted.
