City of Galt
Apply for a LOMR for the south arm of Deadman’s Gulch, by

those structures built within the floodplain following the
channelization project but prior to this map change request.

Carmichael Water District
Coordination between SAFCA & Carmichael Water District to
protect erosion sites at facilities when releases exceed 100,000
CFS from Folsom Reservoir. The purpose is to reduce the
impact to the American River and specifically the District’s
Ranney Collectors in the event of high water.
Groundwater Recharge impacts: Presently there are
uncontained plumes of contamination from the Aerojet, and Mc
Donald Douglas properties. These plumes contain PCE, TCE,
Perchlorate, NDMA and potentially others. In the past,
groundwater recharge or groundwater reinjection has lead to
the migration of these plumes which in turn has impacted the
water supply for Sacramento County, Rancho Cordova and
most recently CWD. While groundwater recharge is a very
good idea, some locations within Sacramento County will lead
to increase migration groundwater contamination plumes

Water Conservation: CWD has agreed and is currently
following the Water Forum’s Conservation Best Management
Practices (BMP). These BMPs are set to meet 2030 water
supply needs and call for a 26% water supply reduction. CWD
has reduced water consumption by 1500 AF/yr and is within
500 AF/yr of reaching the Water Forum agreement.
Conjunctive Use: Historically CWD is a conjunctive use
agency. We are presently using 75% surface water and 25%
groundwater. In times of drought or high water events the ratio
changes from 75 % surface and 25% groundwater to 40%
surface and 60% groundwater. Due to impacts from
groundwater contamination from Aerojet, it is unlikely that CWD
will be able to reduce surface water supply from 75% to 40%.
Regional watershed planning: CWD is currently involved with
the Sacramento Groundwater Authority and the Regional
Water Authority in development of a Regional Water Master
Plan.
