Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant

Brine water is thoroughly mixed with lagoon water and diluted to approximate ambient ocean salinity (see mixing pond just east of Hiway 101 across the street from Warm Water jetties) and exits the end of the warm water jetties. All done in accordance with extensive environmental regulations and approved by Regional Water Quality Control Board.

See above answer to 'salt dumping'. Monitoring of water quality at desal plant outfall is continuous 24/7/365. Environmental Impact Report found outfall brine effects benign.

Contact "Poseidon Water". They are the owners/builder of the facility. It is a very high security facility and tours require plenty of upfront planning

Count up how many millions of gallons of brine water will be dumped in the oceans in the long-term. I give the Carlsbad Plant 20 years before they figure out they're causing dead zones in the ocean and it would of been cheaper to conserve potable water and just treat wastewater.

Very carefully after searched and your vehicle is searched...better not go.. keep the water safe
