LOS ANGELES >> The CEO for embattled Cadiz Inc. has a plan to keep alive a controversial project to transfer ancient groundwater in a remote part of San Bernardino County's Mojave Desert to parts of Orange County and other locations where it could serve as many as 400,000 people. In an interview late last week, Cadiz CEO Scott Slater said he would be seeking a review of the decision by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to reject Cadiz's proposed use of an 1875 railway right-of-way to build a critical 43-mile pipeline from the Fenner Valley - about 40 miles northeast of Twentynine Palms - to the Colorado River Aqueduct, where it could be delivered to future customers.
