Ben manages projects including the Mid-Basin injection: Demonstration and Centennial Park, La Palma Groundwater Surface Recharge Basin, Green Acres Project recycled water infrastructure and financial rates, cathodic protection, pipeline lining, building remodel, and emergency pipeline repair response. Ben teaches undergraduate courses at CSULB in the subjects of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, and Hydraulic Design. Mike Tsoi, P.E., Project Engineer, Tetra Tech Mr. Mike Tsoi is a Project Engineer at Tetra Tech, Inc. He is a registered Civil Engineer in the State of California with over 26 years of professional experience in water, wastewater, and recycled water engineering. His experience includes wells, pump stations, pipelines, flow control facilities, and reservoirs. During his career, Mike has designed more than 15 wells, 20 pump stations, and 300,000 feet of pipeline. Synopsis: Orange County Water District (OCWD) manages three of Southern Calfornia’s greatest water supplies: the Santa Ana River, the Orange County Groundwater Basin and the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS). OCWD ensures a reliable supply of high quality water for 2.4 million residents in north and central Orange County, while protecting environmental habitats and natural resources. OCWD partnered with the City of Santa Ana for the Mid-Basin injection project in Centennial Park which is currently under construction. The project includes construction of nearly two miles of pipeline, public park enhancements, two monitoring wells, and four wells to inject GWRS product water directly into the Principal aquifer near areas with concentrated groundwater production and relatively low groundwater levels. The project will provide additional basin recharge capacity that must be developed to support the GWRS Final Expansion Project, raise groundwater levels in the Principal aquifer, and reduce the amount of GWRS water that must be send to the Anaheim surface recharge basins thereby allowing those basins to be utilized for capturing Santa Ana River storm flows and recharging untreated import water. Tetra Tech designed the project, Butier and Geotechnical Consultants are construction managers, and the primary contractors are Pacific Hydrotech and Best Drilling and Pump.
