CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

An act relating to water.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 457, as introduced, Cunningham. Saline water conversion: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant.

The Cobey-Porter Saline Water Conversion Law required, by July 1, 2004, the Department of Water Resources to report to the Legislature on potential opportunities for the use of seawater and brackish water desalination in California. Existing law required the report to evaluate the impediments to the use of desalination technology and to examine what role, if any, the state should play in furthering the use of desalination in California.

This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would require a study of the feasibility of repurposing for local use water produced by the water desalination facility at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant in the County of San Luis Obispo.
