BRINELINE
(Salt Removal)
SARI (Santa Ana Regional Interceptor) Line
The SARI System is intended to provide a cost-effective, sustainable means of disposal of non-reclaimable wastes for utilities and industry within the Santa Ana Watershed. The highest and best use of the SARI System is the removal of salts from the watershed to keep them from degrading water quality within the watershed, thereby allowing better use of groundwater resources and expanding the ability to reclaim water. The long-term goal of achieving salt balance within the region depends on the ability to remove salts from the watershed via the SARI System. Further use of desalters depends on an economical means of salt disposal and ultimately will depend on an economically viable regional SARI System.

Notice of Preparation Environmental Assessment - Habitat Restoration in Prado Basin
Special Notice – Final Environmental Impact Report for the SARI Repairs Upstream of Prado Dam (Reaches IV-A and IV-B)
The Final Environmental Impact Report was certified by the SAWPA Commission on May 12, 2009. The Executive Summary is available by clicking on the link below. Please contact SAWPA at 951.354.4220 to obtain a copy of the complete report and/or appendices.
SARI Pipe Cleaning
SAWPA has undertaken a line cleaning program for the SARI system during the past three years. The purpose of the program is to ensure that no solids or other obstructions are found inside the pipelines to prevent an accidental overflow and to maintain hydraulic efficiencies. The 2009 cleaning program focused primarily on several of the inverted siphons located throughout the system. Line cleaning in previous years included most of the gravity flow sections.

The SARI Line is a regional brine line designed to convey 30 million gallons per day (MGD) of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the ocean for disposal, after treatment. The non-reclaimable wastewater consists of desalter concentrate and industrial wastewater. Domestic wastewater also is received on a temporary basis. To date, over 73 miles of the SARI Line have been completed. The most recent extension of 23 miles, the Temescal Valley Regional Interceptor (TVRI) line (now referred to as Reach V), was completed in 2001. The upstream extension (Reach IV-D and IV-E) was completed in 1995 to the City of San Bernardino Wastewater Treatment Plant. Reach IV-A serves the Chino Basin area and Reach IV-B serves the southwestern portion of the City of Riverside.
