El Toro Groundwater Cleanup Moves Forward With Navy Funding
The Desalter project targets two 40 foot aquifers contaminated by TCE near El Toro. The Navy will pay about 17 million of 29 million for groundwater removal, while IRWD and MWD credits fund the remaining drinking water system costs. Wells outside and inside the plume will extract and treat water via reverse osmosis and air stripping, slowing northwest plume migration.

Irvine Desalter Project Seeks Water Purification Plant
Irvine Ranch Water District plans two side by side purification plants behind its headquarters on Sand Canyon to produce 5 million gallons of drinking water and 2 million gallons of irrigation water daily. The district faces legislative hurdles and has yet to locate exact drinking well sites. Project aims online by 2006, but plume cleanup could take decades.
