As part of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSCP), the Unit provides salinity control for the Colorado River system by preventing up to 180,000 tons of salt per year from entering the Dolores River. The brine is collected from nine shallow Production Wells along the Dolores River in the Paradox Valley and is pumped to the Surface Treatment Facility where it is filtered and temporarily stored, then pumped to the Brine Injection Facility where it is delivered under high pressure to a 16,000' deep injection well. The Unit operates 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 325 days/year, with two twenty day shut downs per year. The Contractor will be responsible for the daily operation, maintenance and repair of the Unit. The Unit shall be staffed 24 hours/day, 7 days/week during injection operations with sufficient personnel, consumables and spare parts to facilitate day-to-day safe operations and maintenance activities. While the Unit is operating, a minimum of 2 employees are required to be on-site. The Government currently anticipates two, twenty-day scheduled down-time periods each year, although the length and dates of down-time periods may vary according to the current operating criteria.
