A Pilot Test Program at Long Marine Lab is currently underway and will be conducted for a minimum of 12-months to evaluate the best and most cost-efficient desalination technologies and provide water quality data to regulatory agencies before a full-scale plant is built.

Below is the preliminary project schedule, which is subject to change.

• Pilot Plant Testing — January 2008-January 2009
• Pilot Test Program Technical Review — December 2008 - February 2009
• Full-Scale Plant Design — 2010-2013
• Full-Scale Plant Environmental Review — 2009–2012
• Full-Scale Plant Construction — 2012-2015
