ARIZONA WATER BANKING AUTHORITY

STORAGE FACILITY INVENTORY

UPDATED

March 30, 2011

Introduction and Background
Pursuant to A.R.S. §45-2452(A), the Arizona Water Banking Authority (AWBA) was required to develop
a Storage Facility Inventory (Inventory) of all existing storage facilities in Arizona prior to March 1,
1997. The purpose of the Inventory was “…to determine whether storage facilities exist in this state to
meet the water storage needs of the authority for the following ten years” (A.R.S. §45-2452(D)).
Pursuant to A.R.S. §45-2452(F), the AWBA is required to update the Inventory at least once every five
years. The 1997 Inventory was previously updated in 2002 and 2005. In addition to meeting the
mandatory update requirement, this 2011 Inventory is also synergistic with the Storage and Interstate
Release Agreement that requires identification of recharge facilities in the Inventory prior to the AWBA
utilizing those facilities for interstate water storage.
The primary purpose of the Inventory is to identify storage capacity available to the AWBA to meet its
water storage goals. Inclusion of a facility in the Inventory does not equate to a commitment by the
AWBA to utilize any specific facility in the future. The AWBA will continue to determine annually which
facilities will be used through the development of the Annual Plan of Operation (Annual Plan).
Conversely, not including a facility in the Inventory does not preclude the AWBA from utilizing that
facility in a future Annual Plan. It does, however, preclude the facility from being utilized for interstate
water storage, until such time as it is included in an updated Inventory.
In addition to actual presence of facilities and permitted capacity, there are two factors that impact the
AWBA’s ability to store water: availability of water to the AWBA and availability of storage capacity.
The AWBA has a lower priority to Central Arizona Project (CAP) water than entities with municipal and
industrial (M&I) subcontracts. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 45-2427, the AWBA shall not store Colorado River
water that would have otherwise been used in the state. Therefore, a significant volume of recharge
capacity may be utilized by other recharge partners storing M&I subcontract water, prior to the AWBA
receiving any excess water. Furthermore, most recharge facilities in the Phoenix and Tucson Active
Management Areas (AMA) have agreements with other partners or utilize the facility capacity
themselves. The result is that recharge facility capacity may be further limited. In the Pinal AMA, the
AWBA had historically been the primary storage partner. However, the facility operators have also
entered into agreements with other partners in this AMA and much of the capacity that was historically
available to the AWBA may not be in the future.
In 2010, the CAWCD Board of Directors (CAWCD Board) had concerns about competing demands and
the potential for insufficient storage capacity at the CAP underground storage facilities (USF). This led
1

the CAWCD Board to direct staff to investigate the need for development of guidelines and priorities for
scheduling recharge capacity at CAP USFs. CAP staff prepared a draft list of steps that could be utilized
in scheduling capacity, however, no final prioritization process was approved by the CAWCD Board.

Existing Facilities
This Inventory identifies all existing storage facilities in the Phoenix, Pinal, and Tucson Active
Management Areas (AMAs), and areas outside the AMAs. Information regarding the facilities is
presented in a series of tables and maps in Appendix A to this Inventory. Facilities with pending facility
permit or water storage permit applications with the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR)
are also identified. The tables list facilities by AMA, type of facility and source of water permitted to be
stored. The two types of facilities are USF and groundwater savings facilities (GSF) and the water
sources are CAP water, including other surface water, and effluent. Currently, the AWBA does not hold
water storage permits for effluent storage. However, if shortages to CAP water supplies are
anticipated, the AWBA may seek effluent supplies and storage facilities in order to meet its goals.
The tables in Appendix A include the following information for each storage facility: 1) location 2)
facility permit number and effective dates of the permit; 3) facility permit holder; 4) a brief description;
5) the total annual permitted volume; 6) the permit numbers and holders of water storage permits;
and 7) the annual storage volume of each water storage permit. In instances where an issued water
storage permit volume exceeds the facility permitted volume, the lesser amount is listed in the table.
To provide maximum flexibility for water storage, ADWR may issue water storage permits for a facility
that exceed the total permitted facility storage volume. However, total annual storage at a facility by
all storing entities cannot exceed the annual permitted storage facility volume or any other maximum
volumes identified in the permits.
Phoenix Active Management Area
There are currently 56 permitted or pending storage facilities located in the Phoenix AMA. Forty-eight
of the facilities are USFs permitted for storage in excess of 720,000 acre-feet per year of CAP water
and in excess of 100,000 acre-feet per year of effluent or other surface water supplies. Eight are GSFs
permitted for storage in excess of 400,000 acre-feet per year of CAP water and in excess of 30,000
acre-feet per year of effluent.
As of February 2011, the AWBA holds water storage permits in the Phoenix AMA totaling 438,500 acrefeet per year. In addition, the AWBA will be submitting an application to ADWR for a water storage
2

permit for CAWCD’s Superstition Mountain Recharge Project (SMRP) located in the southeastern
portion of the AMA. Phase 1 of the facility, permitted to store 25,000 acre-feet/year, is currently

under construction and is anticipated to be operational by June 2011. When fully completed, the
storage volume for the facility will be 56,500 acre-feet/year.
Table 1a. identifies the cumulative long-term storage credits (credits) accrued by the AWBA at storage
facilities for which the AWBA holds or has held water storage permits through 2009, the permitted
volumes associated with the water storage permits held by the AWBA (as of February 2011), and the
potential volumes available for the AWBA. The potential capacity available to the AWBA was projected
based on historic AWBA use of the facility and staff knowledge regarding patterns of use by other
water storage partners. The total cumulative balance of credits held by the AWBA in the Phoenix AMA
through 2009 is 1,514,313 acre-feet and includes 46,287 acre-feet of credits for interstate banking.

projected storage capacity available to the AWBA at each facility and projected available water supply
assumptions taken from the AWBA’s Ten-Year Plan for 2011-2020, with additional CAP water use by
Reclamation for Indian firming purposes (15,000 acre-feet). This reduction in available water supplies
would primarily impact storage in the Phoenix AMA since deliveries to the Pinal and Tucson AMAs will
already be limited by the amount of funds collected in those areas.

Pinal Active Management Area
There are currently 11 permitted or pending storage facilities located in the Pinal AMA. Eight of the
facilities are USFs permitted for storage in excess of 9,000 acre-feet of effluent. Three are GSFs
permitted for storage of 285,000 acre-feet per year of CAP water.
The AWBA holds, or has pending, water storage permits in the Pinal AMA totaling 285,000 acre-feet
per year. This volume is equal to the total volume of all permitted facilities in the Pinal AMA capable of
receiving CAP water each year.
Table 2a. identifies the cumulative credits accrued by the AWBA at storage facilities for which the
AWBA currently holds water storage permits, the permitted volumes associated with the water storage
permits held by the AWBA (as of February 2011), and the potential volumes available for the AWBA.
The potential capacity available to the AWBA was projected based on historic AWBA use of the facility
and staff knowledge regarding patterns of use by other water storage partners. The cumulative
balance of credits held by the AWBA in the Pinal AMA through 2009 is 1,267,988 acre-feet and includes
439,851 acre-feet of credits for interstate banking.

Tucson Active Management Area
There are currently 18 permitted storage facilities located in the Tucson AMA. Twelve are USFs
permitted for storage of approximately 250,000 acre-feet per year of CAP water and 69,000 acre-feet
per year of effluent or other surface water supplies. Six are GSFs permitted for storage of almost
78,000 acre-feet per year of CAP water.
As of February 2011, the AWBA holds water storage permits in the Tucson AMA totaling 276,547 acrefeet per year. In addition, the AWBA will be submitting an application to ADWR for a water storage
permit for the Farmers Investment Company (FICO) GSF, which is permitted to store 22,000 acrefeet/year. Construction of Phase I of the facility is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2011.

Phase I is permitted to store 11,000 acre-feet/year and is anticipated to be operational by 2012.
Table 3a. identifies the cumulative credits accrued by the AWBA at storage facilities for which the
AWBA holds water storage permits through 2009, the permitted volumes associated with the water
storage permits held by the AWBA (as of February 2011), and the potential volumes available for the

Outside AMAs
The AWBA currently does not utilize or anticipate utilizing any facilities outside the AMA. There are
currently two USFs and one GSF outside of the AMAs permitted for storage of CAP water. There is also
one facility outside the AMAs that is permitted for storage of effluent.

A description of these facilities

is also found in Appendix A.
Conclusion
The determination regarding whether storage facilities exist in this state to meet the AWBA’s water
storage needs for the next 10 years is made based on whether there is storage facility capacity
available to the AWBA in a volume greater than the total proposed volume of water available for
delivery by the AWBA. Table 4 summarizes this information for the 10 year period for the Phoenix,
Pinal and Tucson AMAs. In all three AMAs, the capacity available to the AWBA exceeds the volume of
projected water deliveries through 20201. In the Phoenix AMA, the largest volume of projected water
deliveries utilizes only 60 percent of the capacity projected as available to the AWBA. In the Pinal AMA,
the largest projected water deliveries utilizes less than 15 percent of the capacity projected as available
to the AWBA. In the Tucson AMA, the largest volume of projected water deliveries utilizes almost 70
percent of the capacity projected as available to the AWBA. Therefore, the AWBA concludes that it is
likely that sufficient recharge facility capacity exists in the state for the AWBA to achieve its goals.

The 2011-2020 Ten-Year Plan indicates that while the M&I firming goals could be met in the Phoenix and Pinal
AMAs, the firming goal would not be met in the Tucson AMA. The AWBA would need to deliver for storage
approximately 48,000 acre-feet of water per year through 2020 to meet the Tucson M&I firming goal of 864,000
acre-feet. Given the estimated amount of storage capacity available to the AWBA in the Tucson AMA, the AWBA
could potentially meet the M&I firming goal if funding and water availability were not limiting factors.
