A DESALINATION COMPANY HAS MADE A PROPOSAL TO CONSTRUCT A PLANT IN MOSS LANDING. DEEP-WATER DESAL RELEASED A SUMMARY OF THE MONTEREY REGIONAL WATER PROJECT THIS WEEK. THE PROJECT WOULD INCLUDE A PLANT ACROSS 100 ACRES BEHIND THE POWER PLANT ON DOLAN ROAD, WITH A PIPELINE STRETCHING INTO THE MONTEREY SUBMARINE CANYON. AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOUND THE PLANT WOULD NOT HARM MARINE LIFE. DEEP-WATER DESAL SAYS THE PROJECT COULD PROVIDE OVER 25-MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY FOR RESIDENTS FROM SANTA CRUZ TO SALINAS. THE PLAN STILL NEEDS APPROVAL FROM LOCAL AND FEDERAL REGULATORS.
