San Lucas County Water District

MONTEREY, CA

Monterey County retained SRT through a partnership with AMEC/Foster Wheeler to provide a feasibility analysis, preliminary engineering, environmental review, and final design engineering services for the San Lucas Water Supply Project (Project). The Project was developed by the County in order to establish the best alternative for addressing ongoing water quality problems in the District’s groundwater supply and subsequently design and implement the selected alternative.

The feasibility study included the development of water supply alternatives based on potential water supply sources in the SLCWD region. SRT’s scope of services included detailed analysis of several water supply alternatives, focusing on physical, legal, administrative, operational, political, and economic feasibility of each alternative. Additionally, work included early and consistent stakeholder engagement, further defining key design parameters utilized to evaluate the alternatives, a comparison of alternatives, and recommendation of the most feasible alternative.

SRT staff has experience navigating complex political and regulatory issues for projects in the past and understands the resources and costs associated with such conflicts. SRT was able to facilitate interagency engagement along with detailed and exhaustive analysis resulting in creative solutions.
