Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District

Jordan Valley Water and Kennecott developed a Joint Proposal in 1999 to satisfy the 1995 NRD CD. Various discussions with four affected cities and the State Trustee (Dr. Dianne Nielson) led to modifications of the Joint Proposal, made during 2000 to 2004. A final Joint Proposal was accepted by the State of Utah Natural Resource Damage Trustee in June 2004 (as noted under the 2004 Three Party Agreement). Please refer to http://www.deq.utah.gov/businesses/kennecott/nrd/index.htm/documents.htm. The project described in the Joint Proposal will operate for 40 years after construction, and will accomplish the following: Keep the contamination plumes from expanding, and then shrink them. Remove contamination from the aquifer. Produce 8235 acre-feet per year of treated water for municipal use.
