WATER WELLS,
VAST ACREAGE
& OPPORTUNITY LOCATED IN CABAZON, CA

Kidder Mathews is pleased to present the Cabazon Water Opportunity. This consists of significant water rights on two noncontiguous parcels of land in the vicinity of Cabazon, Riverside County, California.

This opportunity consists of significant water rights on two noncontiguous parcels of land in the vicinity of Cabazon, Riverside County, California. Both properties are located within the San Gorgonio Pass Subbasin (GSA) and the San Gorgonio Pass Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SGPGSA) boundaries. As such, the water is regulated by the San Gorgonio Pass Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) approved in 2022. These properties are located within the Cabazon Subbasin, the majority of the water provided in this area is groundwater.

Rate with various benefits

The properties have been investigated for their water producing capabilities. Three separate test wells have been drilled and cased. Well and aquifer investigation indicates a potential sustained yield of 1,300-2,000 GPM and 3,000-acre feet of water annually.

Rural land with great access

Rural land that is located within the San Gorgonio River Basin between San Gorgonio and the San Jacinto Mountain watersheds. The property has good access to Interstate 10 and is very near the the Arrowhead Bottling facility. It is also around 20 minutes away from Palm Springs, and approximately 40 minutes away from Joshua Tree.

The subject property consists of two non-contiguous properties made up of eight separate parcels. Three wells have been drilled and tested with an estimated combined yield of 1,300 GPM to 2,000 GPM.

WATER

The water is an overlying right that can be used to be within the GSA for reasonable and beneficial uses. This also includes the potential for use within the GSA subject to legal requirements of the GPM. Reasonable and beneficial uses include municipal, domestic, irrigation and industrial uses.

PROPERTY 1

Property 1 is an 11-acre property with two water wells (Well #1 and #2) that can produce large quantities of potable water. Well and hydrology reports indicate a potential yield of 1,300 to 2,000 GPM which is potentially equivalent to in excess of 3,000-acre feet of water per year. This does not include water volume from a third well drilled on the 40-acre Dunkel Springs property.

Test pump reports indicate that the water is of exceedingly high quality and available in significant volume. A hydrologist report indicates a 50% probability that water wells in the basin will actually increase.

PROPERTY 2

Property 2 is a 40-acre property known as Dunkel Springs (Well #3) which has also been test-drilled and has both groundwater and the potential for spring water. This property also includes six small lots that could be used for rural residential uses. There is also a mountainside slope that could potentially be useful for communications towers. Anticipated yields for Well #3 are still undetermined, but a hydrologist report indicates it could be significant.

Entitlements are in eight (8) legal contiguous parcels, which can be sold together or individually.

Water Supply & Use

The investigated and tested 1,300 GPM yield of high-quality water is based on two wells located on the 11-acre parcel.

A third test on the 40-acre parcel will yield additional water along with the potential for Spring Water at "Dunkel Springs."

This volume can rise by increasing the diameter of the pipe that is cemented 50' into the ground. The actual flow rate can vary based on factors such as the wells depth, aquifer characteristics, pump capacity, and local hydro-geological conditions. A hydrologist report indicates a 50% probability that water levels in the basin will actually increase. Initial estimates are 1,300 to 2,000 GPM.

A STATEWIDE FRAMEWORK
TO HELP PROTECT OUR WATER

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) passed in 2014, requires all groundwater basins in California to be managed sustainability by 2022

The legislation requires that a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) be prepared by 2022 in those basins the DWR has identified as medium to high priority. The San Gorgonio Pass, San Timoteo and Yucaipa Subbasins are listed as medium priority basins (per DWR’s Final CASGEM Basin Prioritization Reports, June 2014). SGMA does not apply to basins that are managed through adjudication.

The San Gorgonio Pass Sub-basin GSA (SGPGSA) is identified In the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The properties are within the Cabazon County Water District (CWD) and in the Cabazon Basin (storage unit) of the GSA. The San Gorgonio Pass Sub-basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (SGPGSP) was approved in late 2021 and submitted to DWR. A copy of the GSP can be found at www.sgpgsas. org and DWR’s SGMA Portal. The update of the GSP is required to be provided to the DWR by January 2027.
