Located less than 3 hours from two world class cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles Quay valley will become a model for green communities nationwide. Constructed from the ground up this 7,500 acre community will be self sufficient using the defining sunlight of the California central valley as renewable energy. Combining new urbanism principals with smart growth Quay Valley will be home to seventy five thousand residents and twenty five thousand 100% solar powered homes and fifteen new schools. Creating 30 thousand new jobs in the sunshine state. Clean energy will be the central focus and defining factor in the sustainable development community. With all homes and business using renewable solar energyrooftop panels to limit the amount of burned fossil fuels consumed and thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gasreleased into the atmosphere. Quay Valley will construct a 600 mega watt solar power plant for all the business communities energy consumption.

In addition to becoming 100% energy efficient Quay Valley green principals will focus of water conservation and grey water recycling. With global warming now effecting the annual participation rate, extreme heat and over use of ground water aquifers. California is a future example of water rationing that will eventually effect the world’s population. Rather than use traditional infrastructure green infrastructure will be constructed with pipes that carry used water to municipal storm water facilities. Quay Valley will construct a state of the art 200 man made rivers and streams for grey waterrecycling. Using natural plants and vegetation for removing pollutants and recycling water through the entire sustainable community. Storm water runoff will be classified and treated as a monetary resource rather than a discarded waste. Adding to the intrinsic beauty and natural native landscape of the community. These natural streams and waterways will provide recycled water for the entire community thereby consuming less water than traditional towns. Water conservation offers additional community benefits of tree lined waterways, open park space scenic trails and supporting native wildlife.

Sustainable farming will be integrated through out the entire community. Organic agriculture will be established as a core value of the community. Initial Research and development of over one mile of irrigation ditches was instituted to test for the best soils using the nature terrain of the land to create a balance for all future planned irrigation strategies for future community development. Careful selection of indigenous plants and trees using drip irrigation and water recapture were incorporated to obtain the highest water efficiency possible.
