Wildlife, finds that the transfer of the water will not adversely affect the natural or cultural resources of those federal and state lands.

There was no public, and there were no comments.
August 8, 2017 Special Board Mtg 1 Phase II Recycled Water Expansion Project Construction Contract Award & and
Engineering Support Contract
Mr. Cafferty stated that staff issued the Notice Inviting Bids to six qualified contractors. He further stated that bids were received by E.J. Meyer, Vido
Artukovich & Son, Paulus Engineering, Kennedy Pipeline, and T.E. Roberts. Mr.
Cafferty noted that T.E. Roberts withdrew their bid due to a mathematical error.
Mr. Cafferty stated that the bids came in under budget resulting in a reduced overall total project cost estimate. He further stated that the costs do not include potential rebates associated with the on-site retrofits.
Mr. Cafferty stated that the SRF loan agreement assumes a 20year loan term. He further stated that the 20-year amortization of the loan amount results in an annual debt service of approximately $300,000.
Mr. Cafferty stated that a debt service of this amount, coupled with the
O&M expense, would be insufficient to justify full recovery of the LRP rebate.
He further stated that staff tested several loan terms to identify the loan term and associated annual debt service that would maximize the LRP rebate.
Mr. Cafferty stated that the shorter loan term results in an overall lower total loan cost, maximizes the LRP rebate and minimizes the use of restricted reserves over the long term.
Mr. Cafferty stated that Exhibit 4 of today’s reference material indicates that the optimal loan term is 12-13 years, which staff intends to confirm following the bidding of the East Side System.
August 8, 2017 Special Board Mtg 2 Mr. Cafferty stated that the 20-year term for the SRF loan can be adjusted once the final budget amendment is finalized, which will be after East Side
System construction contract is awarded.
President Goldman asked when we will pay off Phase I. Mr. Cafferty replied that it was a 20-year term, and we are preparing to make the second payment this December.
Director Monin asked how much recycled water capacity is available. Mr.
Cafferty replied that without storage the maximum day capacity is dictated by the amount of raw wastewater influent that is coming into the plant. He further noted that approximately 900,000 gallons of effluent was discharged to the ocean last month indicating there is still capacity available for further recycled water production.
Director Monin asked if the District has a Master Plan for the Recycled
Water projects. Mr. Cafferty replied that staff has evaluated several scenarios for future recycled water projects but there has not been a formal Master Plan effort. Mr. Cafferty further noted that ETWD participated in the recent MNWD
Master Plan to evaluate potential options for a joint project that would provide recylced water service to Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and the mall area. Mr.
Cafferty indicated that staff will provide an update of future recycled water project options at an upcoming Board meeting.
President Goldman asked for a Motion.
August 8, 2017 Special Board Mtg 3 Motion: Director Adjarian made a Motion, seconded by Director Vergara, and unanimously carried across the Board, to authorize the District’s General
Manager to enter into a contract with E.J. Meyer Company in the amount of
$3,858,888 for construction of the West Side System, and 2) enter into a contract with Tetra Tech in the amount of $145,000 for professional engineering services during construction for both phases of construction of the Phase II Recycled
Water Distribution System Expansion Project.

Director Vergara aye President Goldman aye Director Monin aye Director Adjarian aye
AB 1000 (Friedman) – Water Conveyance: Use of Facility with Unused Capacity
Mr. Hill stated that AB 1000 would prohibit a transferor of water from using a water conveyance facility that has unused capacity to transfer water from a groundwater basin unless the State Lands Commission, in consultation with the
Department of Fish and Wildlife, finds that the transfer of water will not adversely affect the natural or cultural resources of the federal and state lands.
Mr. Hill stated that the argument that SMWD is making is that they have already been through the CEQA process. He further stated that staff prepared a letter opposing this legislation, because we feel it is a bad bill that could affect other projects, including Cadiz.
President Goldman asked for a Motion.
August 8, 2017 Special Board Mtg 4 Motion: Director Vergara made a Motion, seconded by Director Adjarian, and unanimously carried across the Board, to authorize the District’s General
Manager to take an “oppose” position on AB 1000 and send a letter to the
Senate Appropriations Committee.

INFORMATION ITEM
SB 623 (Monning): Funding for Safe Drinking Water
Mr. Hill stated that this bill is about disadvantaged communities that don’t have access to safe drinking water, and the funding sources have yet to be identified. He further stated that the latest Coalition letter from ACWA is taking an “oppose unless amended” position.
Mr. Hill stated that the two sources of funding could be a state-mandated tax on water that local water agencies would be required to assess on their ratepayers, or a nitrate fee related to fertilizers and dairies to address nitrate contamination.
Mr. Hill stated that ETWD has been added to the “oppose unless amended” list.
Director Vergara suggested that Joe Berg of MWDOC could make a presentation on SB 555 which is regarding leak detection. Mr. Hill agreed.

The quality and safety of drinking water in the U.S. is regulated by the federal government through the U.S. Environmental Protection agency (USEPA). In California, those standards are enforced by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Water Quality parameters must meet both primary and secondary water quality standards as established by the CDPH.
PRIMARY STANDARDS - are intended to protect public health against substances in the water that may be harmful to humans if consumed for long periods of time.
SECONDARY STANDARDS - are to ensure esthetic qualities of water such as taste, odor or clarity. Rather than its healthfulness, these standards govern substances that may influence consumer acceptance of water.
Given that 100% of ETWD's potable water resource is fully treated and delivered by Metropolitan Water District of southern California (MWDSC) through an enclosed and protected conveyance system, the majority of the State and federal primary and secondary source water quality monitoring requirements are performed by MWDSC. The District's physical responsibility for water quality monitoring is associated with the distribution system. To monitor the distribution system water quality the District utilizes both in house and outside lab services. Routine distribution analysis conforming to CDPH requirements is conducted for the following constituents:
1) Microbiological - The number of microbiological samples and the frequency of analysis during the month is based on the population and/or service connections served. Utilizing a population of 50,000, the CDPH requires that 20 "representative" samples be collected and analyzed for coliform bacteria. The objective is to maintain water quality that is absent of coliform bacteria which is a general indicator for the existence of fecal coliform.
2) Chlorine - The chlorine residual monitoring is performed in conjunction with the microbiological Residual monitoring. The CDPH requirement for treated surface water mandates that the distri- bution system maintain a "detectable" residual. The number of and frequency of sampling is determined utilizing the same formula applied to microbiological requirements. At a minimum, we are obligated to collect and analyze for chlorine residual each time we collect the representative microbiological samples. Per EPA Disinfectants & Disinfection Byproduct Rule (D/DBP), which was effective January 2002, requires quarterly reporting for all sampling.
3) TTHM & HAA5 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Stage 2 DBPR Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBPR) on January 4, 2006. The Stage 2 DBPR builds Compliance on existing regulations by requiring water systems to meet disinfection byproduct (DBP)* maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) at each monitoring site in the distribution system to better protect public health. The Stage 2 DBP rule is intended to reduce potential cancer and reproductive and developmental health risks from disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, which form when disinfectants are used to control microbial pathogens. This final rule strengthens public health protection for customers of systems that deliver disinfected water by requiring such systems to meet maximum contaminant levels as an average at each compliance monitoring location (instead of as a system-wide average as in previous rules) for two groups of DBPs, trihalomethanes (TTHM) and five haloacetic acids (HAA5). The rule targets systems with the greatest risk and builds incrementally on existing rules. This regulation will reduce DBP exposure and related potential health risks and provide more equitable public health protection. The Stage 2 DBPR is being released simultaneously with the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule to address concerns about risk tradeoffs between pathogens and DBPs. The mandatory requirement under the Stage 2 DBP rule, known as an Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) was completed by ETWD in 2008 and a Stage 2 monitoring plan has been approved by CDPH. Full Stage 2 compliance begins in 2012. The IDSE identified the locations with high disinfection byproduct concentrations. These locations will then be used by the District as the 8 sampling sites for Stage 2 DBP rule compliance monitoring. Compliance with the maximum contaminant levels for two groups of disinfection byproducts (TTHM and HAA5) will be calculated for each monitoring location in the distribution system. This approach, referred to as the locational running annual average (LRAA), differs from current requirements, which determine compliance by calculating the running annual average of samples from all monitoring locations across the system. The Stage 2 DBP rule also requires each system to determine if they have exceeded an operational evaluation level, which is identified using their compliance monitoring results. The operational evaluation level provides an early warning of possible future MCL violations, which allows the system to take proactive steps to remain in compliance. A system that exceeds an operational evaluation level is required to review their operational practices and submit a report to the state that identifies actions that may be taken to mitigate future high DBP levels, particularly those that may jeopardize their compliance with the DBP MCLs.
4) Physical - Physical Quality analysis is associated with the esthetic qualities of the finished water. Quality Primarily, we are performing analysis for taste, odor and Turbidity (Clarity). In accordance with CDPH requirements, the District collects a minimum of 15 samples per month.
5) Nitrites - Although the chloramine disinfection process has been effective in controlling TTHM levels, it requires increased monitoring and adjustment as a result of its susceptibility to the Nitrification process. Nitrification is a biological process caused by naturally occurring ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Nitrification in chloraminated drinking water can have various adverse impacts on water quality, the most serious of which is the loss of total chlorine residual which is required by the CDPH and the subsequent potential to increase bacteria- iological activity within the finished or treated water system. MWD has developed an effective nitrification monitoring and prevention program which ETWD staff have adopted and incorporated into the District's daily water quality monitoring and action plan. The number and frequency of this type of monitoring is not currently regulated by CDPH. Staff monitor the level of nitrites in source water, reservoirs and the distribution system daily and weekly in conjunction with the microbiological and chlorine sampling program. A nitrite level of between 0.015 and 0.030 would signal an alert. > 0.030 would require action such as the addition of chlorine to produce a chloramine residual.

Memorandum
DATE: August 11, 2017 TO: Member Agencies – MWDOC Division Five FROM: Sat Tamaribuchi, Director – Division Five SUBJECT: Monthly Water Usage Data, Tier 2 Projection & Water Supply Information
The attached figures show the recent trend of water consumption in Orange County (OC), an estimate of Tier 2 volume for MWDOC, and selected water supply information.
Fig. 1 OC Water Usage, Monthly by Supply OCWD Groundwater water was the main supply in June. Fig. 2 OC Water Usage, Monthly, Comparison to Previous Years Water usage in June 2017 was slightly below average compared to the last 5 years but was higher than in June of 2015 and 2016. We are seeing a slight increase in overall water usage compared to the historical lows of the 2015-16 Fiscal Year. In June 2016, all water conservation became voluntary for MWDOC agencies. Fig. 3 Historical OC Water Consumption OC water consumption is projected to be 524,000 AF in FY 2016-17 (this includes ~15 TAF of agricultural usage and non-retail water agency usage). This is about 32,000 AF more than FY 2015- 16 and is about 47,000 AF less than FY 2014-15. Water usage per person is projected to be slightly higher than in FY 2016-17 for Orange County at 147 gallons per day (This includes recycled water). Although OC population has increased 20% over the past two decades, water usage has not increased, on average. A long-term decrease in per-capita water usage is attributed mostly to Water Use Efficiency (water conservation) efforts. MWDOC “Firm” Water Purchases, 2016 “Firm” water above the Tier 1 limit will be charged at the higher Tier 2 rate. Tier 2 purchases are zero in 2017.
Water Supply Information Includes data on Rainfall in OC; the OCWD Basin overdraft; Northern California and Colorado River Basin hydrologic data; the State Water Project (SWP) Allocation, and regional storage volumes. The data have implications for the magnitude of supplies from the three watersheds that are the principal sources of water for OC. Note that a hydrologic year is Oct. 1st through Sept. 30th.
Orange County’s accumulated rainfall through July was well above average for this period. Orange County has had below average rainfall for the past 5 hydrologic years.
Northern California accumulated precipitation through July was around 192% of normal for this period. June 2017 rainfall was average for that month and the region is seeing the wettest water year on record. The Northern California snowpack is 195% of normal as of May 26th. The State of California was in a declared Drought Emergency that started January 2014 and just recently ended in April of 2017. As of late April, drought conditions have improved significantly and only 8% of California is still suffering from moderate or severe drought. The State Water Project Contractors Table A Allocation has increased to 85% as of the end of April.
Colorado River Basin accumulated precipitation through June was 111% average for this period. The Upper Colorado Basin snowpack was 152% of normal as of May 22nd. This follows five below-average hydrologic years; the Colorado River Basin is in the recovery of a long-term drought. Lake Mead and Lake Powell combined have about 67% of their average storage volume for this time of year. If Lake Mead’s level falls below a “trigger” limit 1,075 ft. at the end of a calendar year, then a shortage will be declared by the US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), impacting Colorado River water deliveries to the Lower Basin states. As of late July, Lake Mead levels were 4.5’ above the “trigger” limit. The USBR predicts that the end of 2017 or the end of 2018 will not hit the “trigger” level.

JAMES C. BARKER, PC ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW FIFTH FLOOR 1050 THOMAS JEFFERSON STREET, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20007 (202) 293-4064 [email protected] Nicholas Crockett Alia Cardwell
Municipal Water District of Orange County, California Washington Update August 15, 2017
The August Recess Arrives with No Resolution to Health Care Reform,
Tax Reform or a Major Infrastructure Bill
In the closing days of the legislative session in early August, there were several attempts to pass a “Repeal and Replace of the Obama Health Care Act”—but those attempts failed in the U.S. Senate as Senator Collins (R-Maine), Senator McCain (R-Arizona) and Senator Murkowski (R-Alaska) all voted against the final measure.
Senator McConnell subsequently announced that it was “time to move on to other matters” and the House and the Senate will return to examining options on the health care front in September and October.
In the meantime, as Congress returns from their August Recess period during the first week of September, there will be much to do on the appropriations front.
None of the Appropriations bills have passed for the fiscal year that starts on October 1st.
Importantly, the Secretary of the Treasury has announced that the legal authority for the federal government to borrow more money to operate will end on September 29, 2017. This issue is frequently referred to as “The Debt Limit Extension”.
Key House and Senate Legislative Members and Staff advise us that Congress is most likely to pass a Continuing Funding Resolution (CR) to keep the federal agencies funded at FY2017 levels until the early to mid-December period—and at the same time pass a temporary borrowing authority that will run during this same period of time. This ultimately sets up a major negotiation in the Congress and with the White House
1
Page 3 of 96 Item 1a for the spending priorities during the subsequent months of October, November and early December.
In the backdrop of these negotiations that will be occurring, the Speaker of the House has announced his intention to bring a tax reform bill to the House Floor for passage this coming fall.
The elements of the tax reform package are still not known and would be speculation at this point. One of the issues in play in the House Bill will be the IRS Fix for the Turf Removal Program. Key leadership staff have advised us that they intend to put language into the House Bill that would remedy the IRS glitch for home and property owners.
On the Senate side, Senator Feinstein has introduced her IRS bill on this matter (discussed at some length in last month’s Report) and the Senate Finance Committee has signaled that they would look seriously at her legislation—which at this point could pass in a package of other bills or as a free-standing bill.
On the “Infrastructure” legislative front, key House and Senate Leaders continue to say that the consideration of the Infrastructure issue will take place after the issue of tax reform has been resolved. Again, the Trump Administration has not provided many specific details about its Infrastructure Plan.
Water Related Matters:
The House Appropriations Committee finished consideration of the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill on July 17, 2017. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed its Energy and Water Bill on July 20, 2017. Both Bills are awaiting Floor action in their respective bodies.
Here is a table that helps reflect some of the differences in the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation accounts: Trump Budget House Senate Proposal Committee Committee Water Smart $23.366M $24M $24M Grants Water $4.038M $4.038M $4.038M Conservation Field Program

The House Bill includes $83 Million for water storage, desalination and water recycling and reuse projects authorized under the WIIN (WRDA) Act that passed seven months ago. The exact manner in which the $83M will be dispersed will be determined after the bill is merged with the Senate Bill and is signed into law.
MWDOC representatives have had a series of meetings with key committee and personal staffers regarding the Environmental Infrastructure provisions in the Energy and Water Appropriations bills. We are actively seeking either Report Language in the Appropriations documents or having key offices send letters or make telephone calls on this matter.
The Water Fix Issue—
Assuming water interests can hurdle all of the regulatory and environmental clearances to build tunnels through the Delta, the cost of the tunnels is nevertheless a major issue down the road.
Recently polling suggests that the California Water Fix is supported by 64% of the population in Southern California (Southern California Water Committee).
Many observers see the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California along with Santa Clara paying for some 55% of the cost of the tunnels—with the remainder of the cost absorbed by large Agriculture interests.
As far as federal involvement, there will be some federal participation in the overall project—but the federal participation is considered minor to the overall cost of the project. The federal government is not likely to be involved in the paying for the cost of the tunnels.
There may be efforts to explore federal credit loan programs like a specialized WIFIA Program to assist the parties that have to build the tunnels—with an expected cost of
3
Page 5 of 96 Item 1a some $15.5 to $17 Billion Dollars. Any federal participation for federal funds under a WIFIA like program would be repaid by the project sponsors.
Preliminary construction could begin as early as next year but as was widely expected, and previously noted, environmental groups sued the Trump Administration claiming the federal decision ignored “best available science”. We are tracking this issue very closely.
WIFIA Funding Update:
On July 19, 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the applicant pool able to apply for Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loans. WIFIA provides low-cost supplemental loans for regionally and nationally significant projects investing in water infrastructure. This includes projects involving wastewater, drinking water, storm water, and water recycling.
The FY 2017 WIFIA program received $25 million in funding, including an additional $8 million in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 which President Trump signed into law in May 2017. A total of $2.3 billion in loans were requested with projects ranging from $22 to $625 million. The loans will finance a total of $5.1 billion in in total water infrastructure investments. The projects would impact 20 million people across small, medium and large communities. Among the projects identified was the $124 Million Orange County Water District Ground Water Replenishment System.
Trump Administration Key Appointments:
Just before the Recess Started in August, the Senate Energy Committee approved Brenda Burman as the U.S. Commissioner of Reclamation. Her nomination now needs to be approved by the full Senate which should happen during the month of September.
HR 23, The Gaining Responsibility on Water Act, Sponsored by Congressman David Valadao, (R-Ca Central Valley):
This legislation would reduce the cost of water delivery contracts and amend the 1992 Central Valley Project Improvement Act to give users more authority over how restoration funds are spent. Much of this legislation included portions of the previously passed California Drought House bill that passed through House Committees and the House Floor twice in the recent past. The portions which still stand are the portions of the bill which were not included in the final House / Senate negotiated package which became known as S.612 in December 2016.
4
Page 6 of 96 Item 1a
The legislation goes further than a compromise provision in last year's WIIN Act reached between the House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca). The goal of the bill is to try and ultimately direct more water to California farm lands and agriculture interests. Simply said, it is supported by Central Valley interests and opposed by environmental interests. It passed the House largely along partisan lines. Senator Feinstein has signaled her opposition to the bill. We are monitoring this legislation closely. At the present time, Senator Murkowski, the Chairwoman of the Senate Energy Committee, is not intending to hold a hearing on this bill.
EPA / Stormwater Resource Management: This Report has previously discussed the Congressman DeFazio Bill out of the House of Representative that provides for a new significant authorization for the EPA to better manage stormwater run-off issues.
In the Senate, there is a bill that has received some traction, Senator Fischer’s (R-Neb) Bill, S.692, which is a similar piece of legislation.
By way of background, in 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an integrated permitting and planning policy to address the need for municipalities to undertake updated wastewater and stormwater control measures under the Clean Water Act. EPA established this policy in response to the challenges and cost implications municipalities are facing to address water quality and infrastructure problems.
Many state and local governments face difficult economic challenges with limited resources and financial capability to meet the Clean Water Act requirements related to stormwater and wastewater.
On average, the U.S. Conference of Mayors finds that municipalities spend between 6 to 7 cents of every tax dollar on water and sewer systems, making water infrastructure the third largest expense for cities behind education and emergency personnel. S. 692 would address these issues by requiring EPA to allow municipalities to develop plans that integrate multiple Clean Water Act requirements and implement those plans through the Act’s permitting process or through enforcement tools.
The bill also would establish an Office of the Municipal Ombudsman within EPA to ensure that municipalities receive assistance regarding compliance with the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. The bill directs EPA to promote green infrastructure (measures like landscaping or permeable pavement that reduce storm
5
Page 7 of 96 Item 1a water flows into sewer systems or surface waters) by conducting outreach and training through the agency’s regional offices. Finally, the bill would direct the EPA to revise how it evaluates the financial capability of a community to make investments necessary to make water quality or drinking water improvements.
The bill has four Republican Senate Co-Sponsors. The bill cleared the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on a voice vote without anyone dissenting. It is now been reported to the Senate Floor and is awaiting Floor consideration.
Items of General Interest
This month I have included the Report Language that accompanies the FY2018 Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Bill (pages 53-56) that directs the Bureau of Reclamation on a number of different issues. This bill cleared through the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 20, 2017.
“Indian Water Settlements. —The Committee notes that funding is recommended for Indian water rights settlements, which meet trust and treaty obligations to tribes and resolve significant tribal water-related claims against the Federal government. In December 2016, Congress authorized a number of important Indian water settlements as part of the WIIN Act, including the Blackfeet Water Rights Settlement Act. To meet the Blackfeet settlement’s enforcement date of January 21, 2025, significant additional funding will be required after fiscal year 2018. The Committee therefore encourages Reclamation to budget accordingly for Indian water rights settlements in its budget request for fiscal year 2019. San Joaquin River Restoration Program. —The Committee is deeply concerned by the lack of tangible progress in river channel reconstruction despite Federal expenditures of $172,000,000 through September 30, 2016, and an anticipated additional $390,000,000 to $700,000,000 necessary to complete the program.
The Committee directs Reclamation to work with the settling parties and the Exchange Contractors to develop a plan to successfully implement the program, which shall identify funding sources to match projected program expenditures; ensure that the program is on track to achieve goals that are technically, scientifically, and financially achievable; reevaluate the program’s 2025 reopener date, given extensive delays in river project implementation; and improve the program’s relationship with third parties,
6
Page 8 of 96 Item 1a while working within projected budgets and timelines. The Committee directs Reclamation to achieve substantial progress toward developing the plan by November 15, 2017, and to brief the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the progress achieved by that date.
Salton Sea. —Pursuant to recent agreements between the Department of the Interior and the State of California, the Committee encourages the Department to prioritize implementation of the Salton Sea Memorandum of Understanding [MOU]. The Committee urges the Department to include specific funding requests for implementation of the MOU in future budget submissions and directs the Department to provide semiannual briefings to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress regarding Federal efforts to implement the MOU and other Salton Sea mitigation efforts.
Scoggins Dam, Tualatin Project, Oregon. —The Committee supports the administration’s budget request for preconstruction activities at Scoggins Dam under the Safety of Dams program. Consistent with the Tualatin Project Water Supply Feasibility Study authorized in Public Law 108–137 and statutory authority granted by Public Law 114–113 allowing for additional benefits to be conducted concurrently with dam safety improvements, the Committee directs Reclamation to evaluate alternatives, including new or supplementary works, provided that safety remains the paramount consideration, to address dam safety modifications and increased storage capacity. Considering the high risk associated with Scoggins Dam, the Committee urges Reclamation to work with local stakeholders and repayment contractors to prioritize this joint project including feasibility and environmental review of the preferred alternative in fiscal year 2018. The Committee understands that a replacement structure downstream could significantly reduce project costs for both the Federal Government and local stakeholders. Reclamation may accept contributed funds from non-Federal contractors to expedite completion of any level of review.
Rural Water Projects. —Voluntary funding in excess of legally required cost shares for rural water projects is acceptable but shall not be used by Reclamation as a criterion for allocating additional funding recommended by the Committee or for budgeting in future years.
WaterSMART Program. —The Committee encourages Reclamation to prioritize eligible water conservation projects that will provide water supplies to meet the needs of threatened and endangered species. Research and Development: Desalination and Water Purification Program. —Of the funding recommended for this program, $6,000,000 shall be for desalination projects as authorized in section 4009(a) of Public Law 114–
7
Page 9 of 96 Item 1a
322. Research and Development, Science and Technology Program. — The Committee is aware that the Reclamation Science and Technology Office has been investing in efforts under the Open Water Data Initiative to integrate currently fragmented water supply data from several Federal agencies into a connected, national water data framework.
Furthermore, the Committee understands that the Science and Technology Office has a future goal to develop webbased decision support tools. The Committee urges Reclamation to expedite the development and testing of a web-based Water Supply Decision Support System that will help Federal, State, municipal, Tribal and private water managers and users make better wateruse decisions to support water conservation and drought resilience in the western States. Such a system will allow a diverse group of water managers and users to better leverage the Federal Government’s investment in producing water supply data on river levels, snow pack, weather, and climate.
WaterSMART Program: Title XVI Water Reclamation & Reuse Program. —Of the funding recommended for this program, $10,000,000 shall be for water recycling and reuse projects as authorized in section 4009(c) of Public Law 114–322. 55 Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work. —The Committee recommendation includes an additional $190,332,000 above the budget request for Water and Related Resources studies, projects, and activities. Priority in allocating these funds should be given to advance and complete ongoing work; improve water supply reliability; improve water deliveries; enhance national, regional, or local economic development; promote job growth; advance Tribal and nontribal water settlement studies and activities; or address critical backlog maintenance and rehabilitation activities.
Funding recommended under the heading Additional Funding for Ongoing Work may be utilized for ongoing work, including pre-construction activities, on projects which provide new or existing water supplies through additional infrastructure. Reclamation shall give priority in allocating funds to ongoing work on authorized projects for which environmental compliance has been completed. Reclamation is encouraged to allocate additional funding for aquifer recharging efforts to address the ongoing backlog of related projects.
Of the funds recommended under the heading ‘‘Water Conservation and Delivery’’, $5,000,000 is allocated to fund Colorado River water conservation, including the Pilot System Conservation Program as authorized in section 206 of Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015. Of the additional funding recommended under the heading ‘‘Water Conservation and Delivery’’, $67,000,000 shall be for water storage projects as authorized in section 4007 of Public
8
Page 10 of 96 Item 1a
Law 114–322. Of the additional funding recommended under the heading ‘‘Environmental Restoration or Compliance’’, $15,000,000 shall be for activities authorized under sections 4001 and 4010 of Public Law 114–322 or as set forth in Federal-State plans for restoring threatened and endangered fish species affected by the operation of Reclamation’s water projects.
The Committee is concerned that Reclamation’s criteria for allocating funding have not adequately accounted for projects that would directly benefit military base operations and national security facilities in the past. The Committee directs the Department of the Interior to consult with the Department of Defense to develop a plan to adequately allocate Water and Related Resources funding that directly benefits military base operations and national security facilities. Reclamation is encouraged to prioritize funding to help irrigation districts with junior water rights to plan and develop water conservation plans to comply with ESA requirements. Buried Metallic Water Pipe.— Reclamation shall continue following its temporary design guidance.
The Committee recommends $41,376,000 for the Central Valley Project Restoration Fund, the same as the budget request. This appropriation is fully offset by a scorekeeping adjustment from revenues. The Central Valley Project Restoration Fund was authorized in the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, title 34 of Public Law 56 102–575. This fund uses revenues from payments by project beneficiaries and donations for habitat restoration, improvement and acquisition, and other fish and wildlife restoration activities in the Central Valley project area of California. Payments from project beneficiaries include several required by the act (Friant Division surcharges, higher charges on water transferred to non-Central Valley Project users, and tiered water prices) and, to the extent required in appropriations acts, additional annual mitigation and restoration payments.
The Committee recommends $37,000,000 for California Bay Delta Restoration, the same as the budget request. This account funds activities that are consistent with the CALFED Bay-Delta Program, a collaborative effort involving 18 State and Federal agencies and representatives of California’s urban, agricultural, and environmental communities. The goals of the program are to improve fish and wildlife habitat, water supply reliability, and water quality in the San Francisco Bay-San Joaquin River Delta, the principle hub of California’s water distribution system.” (Editor’s note: This Report Language shown above is taken from the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Committee Report that accompanies the Senate Committee’s Appropriations Bill. It has been included to allow the reader to become familiar with Congressional Report Language that accompany pieces of legislation. Ultimately, these

Memorandum
To: Municipal Water District of Orange County From: Syrus Devers, Best Best & Krieger Date: August 21, 2017 Re: Monthly State Political Report
NOTE: This is an abbreviated report due to the Legislature’s Summer Recess that began prior to the last PAL Committee meeting. The Legislature reconvenes on Aug. 21st.
Permanent Conservation Regulations/Legislation
Last month the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee deleted the contents of AB 1654 (Rubio), AB 1668 (Friedman), and AB 1323 (Weber), and sent each bill to the Senate Appropriations Committee with the intent that committee staff would work on a compromise bill package during the legislative recess. AB 869 and 968 (Rubio), and AB 1667 and 1669 (Friedman), were held in committee.
Senate and Assembly staff first held small focus groups to work on an initial draft, and then convened a large stakeholder meeting on Aug 2nd to solicit comments. The draft was not actual bill language; it was a list of well-developed points that could be used to write a bill, or bills. The draft was reviewed by MWDOC staff who had significant concerns, most of which were shared by the larger water industry. The stakeholder meeting ran for over 3 hours and was almost entirely critical of the draft.
The most noticeable issues with the draft concerned new concepts that had not been discussed by any of the parties. Of specific concern to MWDOC staff was the introduction of volumetric targets for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) water use. In addition, incentives for recycled water were deleted, except for outdoor irrigation, and replaced with new administrative burdens such as leak detection requirements. The draft did propose to treat recycled water as a drought resilient supply, but offered no adjustment to water budget targets for indirect or direct potable reuse—even the administration’s proposal allowed for a 10% credit for recycled water.
BB&K staff anticipated that the general water community would be vocal in opposing the new CII proposals and, therefore, focused on the recycling provisions. The opposition to the CII provisions was overwhelming and legislative staff put up little in the way of defense. The discussion did not go as well on the recycling provisions. Legislative staff defended their position that recycled water should be treated like any other supply, which is an evasive way to avoid recognizing recycling as a conservation measure. There was also significant criticism of the enforcement provisions, but
1 Page 13 of 96
Item 1b
legislative staff just said, “Thank you for sharing your views.” They didn’t comment one way or the other, except to say that they would not use the words “cease and desist.” But even that was not a clear statement; it could mean that they will achieve the same outcome with different words.
The meeting did not attempt to decide anything. It was simply staff receiving feedback to use in writing a second draft, which is what was taking place at the time this memo was prepared. Although BB&K has significant concerns with what the new draft will look like given the discussion, there is not much that can be done until bill language is made available. BB&K and WateReuse have had discussions since the Aug. 2nd meeting about lobbying on water recycling issues if the next draft continues to give scant consideration to water recycling projects. BB&K will, of course, brief MWDOC staff as soon as the new language is circulated.

The County of Orange Report l August 15, 2017 by Lewis Consulting Group
Water Still A Concern In a July poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), despite last winter’s drought busting rains, 71% of likely voters in California deem the supply of water to be a big problem or somewhat of a problem in their part of California,
Respondents in the Central Valley - 54%, or the Inland Empire 62%, were most likely to deem it a big problem compared to the statewide average of 42%. Intensity dropped off among likely voters living in the Los Angeles region - 41%, Orange County / San Diego - LATEST POLL 41% or the Bay Area 33%.
Likely voters were also asked if they thought local government was doing enough water conservation in their part of California. Overall 51% stated the right amount, 37% said not enough and only 5% said too much. Political Independents were most likely to say not enough - 44% followed by Democrats 38% and Republicans 32%. Residents of Orange / San Diego were more likely to respond not enough 40% than voters in Northern California Bay Area 36%. Homeowners in California registered at 30% while 48% of renters replied not enough.
Also, a large majority of Californians support desalination off the coast of California. 68% support desalination while only 25% oppose it. Strongest support among sub- groups were residents of Orange / San Diego - 78%, men 76%, Republicans 74% and those aged 55 and older 73%.
In this survey of 1,095 likely voters in California, the margin of error is +/- 4.3%. The survey was conducted from July 9 to July 18, 2017.
Page 15 of 96 Color California Dark Green The July PPIC survey titled California and the Environment reenforces the impression of Californians fervent loyalty to environmentalism.
The survey tested a number of themes associated with Global Warming / Climate Change. 68% of the respondents believe effects of global warming have already begun and 52% deem Earth’s warming a serious threat. 65% of Californian are either very or somewhat concerned by rising sea levels.
As a result of their concerns 63% of respondents believe California should adopt their own policy to fight global warming and by a 67% - 29% margin oppose President Trump’s announced withdrawal from the Paris Accords.
Those responding to the poll support a number of initiatives aimed at combating the perceived threat. 66% favor a law to cut gas emissions by 40%, below 1990 levels by the year 2030. 71% favor requiring 100% of all electricity consumed in California to be generated by renewable resources by the year 2045. 49% of Californians believe California’s efforts to combat global warming will result in more employment.
Californians are resigned to some additional future costs. 54% believe global warming efforts will result in higher gasoline prices. By a margin of 51% - 43% a slimmer majority support California’s Cap and Trade policies even if it results in a $.15 per gallon increase by 2021. However, there does seem to be some limit to their economic commitment. By a slim 48% - 46% margin (inside the poll’s margin of error) respondents are willing to pay higher electricity charges to reduce global warming. Californians now oppose off-shore oil drilling by the highest margins ever recorded. Drilling is opposed by 67% and supported by only 28% of Californians.
Governance
Elections Taking Shape County Supervisor Todd Spitzer is undoubtably smarting from the recently announced endorsements of three of his Board colleagues (Andrew Do, Lisa Bartlett and Michelle Steel) of incumbent District Attorney Tony Rackauckas. The remaining Supervisor, Shawn Nelson, who is rumored to also being in Rackauckas’ camp, can’t endorse due to his upcoming judicial candidacy. Spitzer, perhaps sensing that nearly all incumbent
Page 16 of 96 endorsements would favor Rackauckas had previously stated his campaign would not accept endorsements from incumbent politicians due to a perceived conflict of interest.
However, Supervisor Spitzer can certainly take some solace from a huge financial advantage that he currently has vs. the incumbent Rackauckas. As of the financial disclosure closing date of June 30, Spitzer had nearly $1.3 million in his campaign account compared to $200,000 for Rackauckas. It is expected that millions of dollars will flow into this Orange County legal smack-down.
Supervisor Race Intensifies Candidates for Orange County’s 4th Supervisorial District, a race to succeed term-limited Supervisor Shawn Nelson, also disclosed their campaign financing through the June 30 financial disclosure cutoff: Spent: Cash on hand: Former Assemblywoman Young Kim $37,600 $207,000 Former Firefighter Union Leader Joe Kerr $27,300 $ 73,000 La Habra Mayor Pro Tem Tim Shaw $10,700 $ 48,000

Update
The Wednesday August 9th meeting of OC LAFCO was lightly attended and had an equally light agenda. The audience consisted of two Supervisor aides and one member of the “public”, yours truly.
The Committee received their quarterly report which was also the last quarter in LAFCO’s fiscal year. The report indicated that the Committee has completed 3 of 13 mandated tasks, completed 80% of their administrative projects and as part of their awareness & outreach programs, have visited 10 of 12 Orange County Legislative Offices.
The Committee heard a presentation from Irma Hernandez, Deputy City Manager of Orange, who recounted the city’s history in their 2003 project of annexing unincorporated islands. Thanks to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act, the city was able to
Page 17 of 96 successfully annex 11 islands with a combined population of 1,200 people. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act allowed annexation of less than 75 acres to be conducted without a vote of the people. Ms. Hernandez said good planning, community meetings and frequent updates were key to insuring a relatively non-contentious three year process.
Commissioner Withers announced that at a future meeting IRWD general manager Paul Cook will give a similar presentation regarding their success in merging with smaller districts.
California Drought Update
The enhanced California drought map shows the dramatic change in drought in the last 12 months. Note that one year ago, the entire state was reeling from some level of drought. As of August 8th, only 22% of the state is still mired in lower levels “official drought”.

El Toro Water District Receives Excellence in Financial Reporting Award
Lake Forest, CA — The El Toro Water District (ETWD) was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended 2016. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
“El Toro Water District has long been a model of financial responsibility, and it is nice to see our efforts rewarded”, stated ETWD Board Treasurer Mark Monin.
In addition to the award that El Toro Water District received, an Award of Financial Reporting Achievement (AFRA) was awarded to El Toro Water District’s Accounting department for their contribution in making this achievement possible.
“We are thrilled that our commitment to transparency has been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association” said Robert R. Hill, General Manager. “Our finance department continually strives to exceed expectations and it is great to see them awarded along with the District.”
The GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program (CAFR Program) in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal. The goal of the program is not to assess the financial health of participating governments, but rather to ensure that users of their financial statements have the information they need to do so themselves.
Reports submitted to the CAFR program are reviewed by selected members of the GFOA professional staff and the GFOA Special Review Committee (SRC), which comprises individuals with expertise in public sector financial reporting and includes financial statement preparers, independent auditors, academics, and other finance professionals.

Bay Delta/State California WaterFix Water Project On July 21, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Issues certified the Final EIR, adopted Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, approved the California WaterFix (alternative 4a), and filed the Notice of Determination (NOD) with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research for the California WaterFix project. The announcement followed the release of the federal biological opinions on June 26, that confirm the project is consistent with environmental and wildlife protection standards.
The NOD and decision documents signed by Acting Director Messer approve WaterFix as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project helps ensure stable water supplies for millions of Californians. CEQA requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.
DWR, which operates the State Water Project, screened more than 100 different proposals before analyzing 18 alternatives in depth in the final 50,000-page Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under CEQA. The combined public comment period on these environmental analyses lasted nearly a year. The project was refined several times to shrink its footprint, minimize impacts to Delta landowners, and make other changes.
The CEQA certification, NOD, and decision documents put WaterFix a step closer to construction, which could begin as early as 2018. As both a modern and ambitious infrastructure project, WaterFix will require world- class engineering, efficient construction management, aggressive cost containment, and transparent business operations.
In addition to the certification, DWR also filed a “validation action” with the Sacramento County Superior Court to affirm the department’s authority to, among other things, issue revenue bonds to finance the planning, design, construction and other capital costs of California WaterFix. A validation action is necessary to provide assurances to the financial community for the sale of the California WaterFix revenue bonds.
Meantime, DWR and the Bureau of Reclamation have completed a substantial portion of the proceedings before the State Water Resources Control Board to change the point of diversion for the state and federal water projects to allow operation of the WaterFix.

Bay The CEQA certification, NOD, and decision documents are available at Delta/State http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/NoticeofDetermination.aspx Water Project Next Steps Issues Issuance of the California WaterFix NOD by DWR completes DWR’s (Cont’d.) compliance with the CEQA and clears a major milestone in planning the project. Several regulatory and permitting actions, as well as funding-related decisions still need to be completed before construction can begin. Initial Requests for Qualifications seeking prospective contractors will be publicized later this year.
ENGINEERING & PLANNING
Doheny South Coast WD’s Board approved a resolution in late June to submit an Desalination application for grant funding from the Department of Water Resources Project (Proposition 1 Water Desalination Grant Program) of up to $10 million for the construction of the Doheny Ocean Desalination Project with the caveat that the application could be withdrawn if necessary. The application is due to DWR on September 1, 2017. Major effort on the EIR is currently on hold, pending results of updated Slant Well Modeling. The updated modeling is estimated to be completed by September 11, 2017. Pending results of the modeling, a 2nd Scoping Meeting is anticipated in September 2017 and completion of the EIR anticipated in June 2018.

Poseidon Poseidon is still working on the permitting process. The public review Resources period for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was extended to July 27, 2017. Poseidon anticipates a decision by the State Lands Commission on October 19 and then will continue working their way towards the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control permit and then on to the California Coastal Commission, likely in the first half of 2018. OCWD is still working on the system integration concepts. Orange CDM-Smith and MWDOC staff are in the process of completing follow-up County work to the 2016 study. The work includes modeling of more recently Reliability available information, updating Colorado River assumptions, assessment of Study additional scenarios for the Huntington Beach Desalination Plant, and assessment of the value of new storage. The work is expected to be completed in the next few months. MET Metering The Meter Workgroup is re-evaluating technology and criteria for Work Group measuring and accounting for low system flows to provide member agencies more flexibility. The intent is to expand the flow measurement range to better account for low flows than the current metering system provides. Charles Busslinger and Chris Lingad participated in a workgroup meeting on July 26, 2017. The workgroup is continuing to develop design policy guidance to recognize newer technology (i.e. such as the additional precision provided by mag meters at lower flows) and revisiting MET Administrative Code Section 4504(b) limitation [a.k.a.10:1 turndown] which currently requires member agencies to pay for flows that are less than 10% of maximum design capacity of the meter as if they received 10% flows. Any final recommendations would be brought to the MET Board for consideration at year end 2017 or early 2018 OC-28 Flow MWDOC, MET and OCWD have exchanged information and are Metering Issue continuing to discuss both the flow metering issues from June, July and with MET August of last summer and the December 13 flow test conducted by MET. MWDOC and OCWD are still of the opinion that OCWD is owed an adjustment of water for metering problems and we are making progress on our position. Data is currently being reconfirmed to forward to MET’s Auditor for consideration. Service Laguna Beach CWD and Newport Beach are continuing to study alternative Connection methods of delivery of the water to avoid complications with the CM-1 CM-1 Cost meter while providing sufficient year-round water flow in the lower Issues with portions of the OC Feeder to maintain high water quality. We are awaiting MET the outcome of the studies. O.C. Charles Busslinger has been participating in weekly ad hoc committee Integrated meetings to develop the goals, objectives, and strategies for the North and Regional Central IRWM Plan. The draft goals, objectives, and strategies will be Watershed presented to stakeholders for comments on August 29, 2017. The final draft Management plan is anticipated by the end of Summer 2017.

Training and Ongoing: WEROC is hosting a series of trainings related to a year-long Programs training program intended to lead up to a full field and EOC exercise in spring 2018 based on an unknown contaminate in the water system. Update: Francisco developed a 2 hour training for the WEROC EOC staff based on the 9 hours of training provided to member agencies. The training provides an overview of the concepts and then discusses WEROC’s role in that type of response. The training includes an overview of the Emergency Water Quality Sample Kit, Water Quality Notifications and Public Information” and the Determination of a Credible Threat” trainings. Kelly delivered the finished training product. Emergency Plans Francisco submitted the revised WEROC Emergency Operations Plan to Kelly. The update included a streamlined approach, update to current information, and the incorporation of corrective actions from previous WEROC training and exercises. Currently, Francisco is working on the hazard specific annexes. Once Kelly completes her review and the hazard specific annexes are completed, the plan will be brought to the Board for approval.

Operational Area Agreement Revision Working Group Updates: The OA is currently making revisions to the OA Emergency Management Agreement. The OA Agreement is signed by 114 government entities in Orange County and hasn’t been updated since it was originally created in the late 90’s. A key topic of discussion during this month’s meeting was “Section 2.3: Orange County Emergency Management Organization.” OCEMO is the working body for emergency management within OC. Its purpose is to coordinate on the development of plans, procedures, and the training needed to ensure OC agencies are prepared for a disaster. The discussion was focused on the makeup of this group, its goals, governance, etc.

ITEM # 4. HEAL THE BAY’S 2016-17 BEACH REPORT CARD
Heal the Bay is an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to making the coastal waters and watersheds of southern California safe, healthy and clean. For the past 26 years Heal the Bay has compiled beach water quality data to help ensure the health protection of beachgoers and make the water quality information accessible and easy to understand. Heal the Bay’s Annual Beach Report Card achieves this goal by using an intuitive A to F grading system to provide water quality information to the millions of people who recreate along West Coast shoreline waters. Grades are based on routine beach water quality sampling conducted by local health agencies and dischargers.
Amanda Carr will explain how the Beach Report Card works, why it’s important to South Orange County, and how ten of our local beaches made the Honor Role.
Excerpts from the report are included following the Staff Report.

Recommended Action: Receive and File
ITEM # 5. South Orange County Wastewater Authority’s Regional Partnership in Water Quality Improvements
South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA) is committed to improving water quality for the residents of South Orange County. SOCWA improves water quality by diverting urban runoff into SOCWA’s treatments plants. SOCWA has diverted approximately 325 million gallons of urban runoff since 2010. Urban runoff not collected transports bacteria and other pollutants that produce beach closures. The positive effect of the diversion program has resulted in less polluted water ways, cleaner beaches, and healthier habitats. SOCWA continues to build relationships and seek input from local cities, municipalities, and environmental groups to improve water quality in the South Orange County watershed.
ITEM # 6. PROPOSITION 84 2015 GRANT FUNDED PROJECT UPDATES
a) DAIRY FORK WETLAND PROJECT
DAIRY FORK WETLAND AND HABITAT RESTORATION This regional project is located at the Southwest corner of Aliso Viejo Parkway and Moulton Parkway within the Aliso Creek Watershed. The objectives of this project are to improve the quality of urban, remove invasive plant species (such as arundo), and restore the area’s natural habitat. The wetland was constructed on a 2-acre of undeveloped land and has the capacity to receive and naturally treat urban runoff draining from approximately 1,500 acres of residential and commercial area within the cities of Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods. The City of Aliso Viejo is the lead agency and received financial support from the Dairy Fork sub-watershed cities of Lake Forest, Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods. The wetland construction required easements from the County of Orange, SCE and Aliso Viejo Community Association. Construction on this project started in early 2016 and the two wetland ponds were completed in May 2017. Landscape installation will be completed in August 2017.
The total cost for this project is about $1,374,000 which is funded as follows: $305,900 - LOCAL MATCH FROM LEAD AND PARTICIPATING AGENCIES $568,100 – OCTA M2 TIER 2 $500,000 – PROP 84
b) RECYCLED WATER DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE
The South Coast Water District is roughly 85 percent dependent on imported water. Hence, the District has focused on maximizing its water recycling and water use efficiency efforts to reduce this dependence. This project received $750,000 in Proposition 84 grant funding to expand distribution of recycled water throughout the District service area by replacing a recycled water transmission main in Coast Highway. The project consisted of 6,300 feet of new recycled water main, new and replacement recycled water services, and technical assistance to the end users to retrofit their respective systems. Following completion, District staff is now able to convey an additional 550 gallons per minute (gpm) of recycled water to its customers to further maximize recycled water use.

Adjourn County Next Executive Committee Meeting: Tuesday, September 5, 2017 Next ISDOC Quarterly Meeting: October 28, 2017 2 Park Plaza, Suite 100 | Irvine, CA 92614| P 949.476.2242 | F 949.476.0443 | www.ocbc.org July 5, 2017 The Honorable Robert Hertzberg Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water State Capitol, Room 5046 Sacramento CA 95814 RE: AB 1000 (FRIEDMAN): WATER CONVEYANCE: USE OF FACILITY WITH UNUSED CAPACITY – OPPOSE Dear Chairman Hertzberg: Orange County Business Council (OCBC) is writing to express its opposition to AB 1000 (Friedman). This “gut and amend” legislation seeks to create a new certification process for water conveyed in California’s water transportation systems, which is both unprecedented and undefined. While the bill is targeted to negatively impact the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery & Storage Project (Cadiz Water Project), a new water supply for 400,000 people in Southern California that OCBC supports, it also poses a potential threat to any new water transfer project in the state. AB 1000 is of great concern because it seeks to impose an unnecessary, unprecedented and duplicative environmental review of the Cadiz Water Project. At a time when Southern California truly need to invest in more reliable water supplies and storage, AB 1000 would disregard the Cadiz Water Project’s lawful CEQA process and previous upholding by the State’s Courts. Not only would this legislation unfairly target and impact the Cadiz Water Project, but would also create a precedent for similar regulatory abuse by opponents of other water transfer project in the state. AB 1000 is an inappropriate law that would further constrain a much-needed new water supply project while having far reaching negative impacts on the entire California water community. The transportation of water in existing conveyance facilities is already a highly regulated process that must comply with CEQA. The creation of a new legislative layer to delay the Cadiz Water Project sets a dangerous precedent that must be stopped. We therefore, we respectfully request you to pull this bill from consideration. Respectfully, Lucy Dunn President and CEO cc: Members of the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water The Honorable Laura Friedman THE LEADING VOICE OF BUSINESS IN ORANGE COUNTY ISDOC Executive Committee July 11, 2017 Minutes I.

RFP Request for Proposal Riparian: Of or on the banks of a stream, river, or other body of water. RO: Reverse osmosis. See the listing under "reverse osmosis." R-0-W Right-of-way Runoff: Liquid water that travels over the surface of the Earth, moving downward due to gravity. Runoff is one way in which water that falls as precipitation returns to the ocean. RWQCB Regional Water Quality Control Board. State agency regulating discharge and use of recycled water. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA): The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was originally passed by Congress in 197 4 to protect public health by regulating the nation's public drinking water supply. The law was amended in 1986 and 1996 and requires many actions to protect drinking water and its sources: rivers, lakes, reservoirs, springs, and ground water wells. (SDWA does not regulate private wells which serve fewer than 25 individuals.) SDWA authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to set national health-based standards for drinking water to protect against both naturally-occurring and man-made contaminants that may be found in drinking water. US EPA, states, and water systems work together to make sure that these standards are met. Safe yield: The maximum quantity of water that can be withdrawn from a groundwater basin over a long period of time without developing a condition of overdraft, sometimes referred to as sustained yield. SAFRA Santa Ana River Flood Protection Agency Salinity: Generally, the concentration of mineral salts dissolved in water. Salinity may be measured by weight (total dissolved solids- TDS), electrical conductivity, or osmotic pressure. Where seawater is known to be the major source of salt, salinity is often used to refer to the concentration of chlorides in the water. SAWPA: Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority. SCAD A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCAP Southern California Alliance of Publicly. Newly formed group of public agencies seeking reasonable regulation of sewer industry. SCH State Clearing House - Environmental Review/Processing Seasonal storage: A three-part program offered by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California: STSS (Short Term Seasonal Storage) financially encourages agencies with local groundwater production capabilities to produce a higher percentage of their demand in the summer from their local groundwater supplies, thus shifting a portion of their demand on the MWD system from the summer to winter; LTSS (Long Term Seasonal Storage) financially encourages retail agencies to take and store additional amounts of MWD water above their normal annual demands for later use; Replenishment Water provides less expensive interruptible water that is generally available and used to increase the operating yield of groundwater basins. Seawater intrusion: The movement of salt water into a body of fresh water. It can occur in either surface water or groundwater basins. Seawater barrier: A physical facility or method of operation designed to prevent the intrusion of salt water into a body of freshwater. Secondary treatment: The biological portion of wastewater treatment which uses the activated sludge process to further clean wastewater after primary treatment. Generally, a level of treatment that produces 85 percent removal efficiencies for biological oxygen demand and suspended solids. Usually carried out through the use of trickling filters or by the activated sludge process. Sedimentation: The settling of solids in a body of water using gravity. Settle: To clarify water by causing impurities/solid material to sink to a container's bottom. Sewer: The system of pipes that carries wastewater from homes and businesses to a treatment plant or reclamation plant. Sewers are separate from storm drains, which is a system of drains and pipes that carry rain water from urban streets back to the ocean. Overwatering your yard can also cause water to run into the streets and into storm drains. Storm drain water is not treated before it is discharged. SigAiert: Any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more, as opposed to a planned event, like road construction, which is planned. SJBA San Juan Basin Authority Sludge: The solids that remain after wastewater treatment. This material is separated from the cleaned water, treated and com posted into fertilizer. Also called biosolids. SOCWA South Orange County Wastewater Authority. Regional Joint Powers Authority formed for collection and treatment of sewerage (previously known as AWMA/SERRA/SOCRA). SOCWA member agencies: CSC - City of San Clemente CSJC- City of San Juan Capistrano CLB - City of Laguna Beach ETWD- El Toro Water District EBSD - Emerald Bay Service District IRWD- Irvine Ranch Water District MNWD - Moulton Niguel Water District SCWD - South Coast Water District SMWD - Santa Margarita Water District TCWD -Trabuco Canyon Water District SRF State Revolving Fund Storm Drain: The system of pipes that carries rain water from urban streets back to the ocean. Overwatering your yard can also cause water to run into the streets and into storm drains. Storm drain water is not treated before it is discharged. Storm drains are separate from sewers, which is a separate system of pipes to carry wastewater from homes and businesses to a treatment plant or reclamation plant for cleaning. Storm flow: Surface flow originating from precipitation and run-off which has not percolated to an underground basin. SWP: State Water Project. An aqueduct system that delivers water from northern California to central and southern California. SWRCB State Water Resources Control Board TDS: Total dissolved solids. A quantitative measure of the residual minerals dissolved in water that remain after evaporation of a solution. Usually expressed in milligrams per liter. Tertiary treatment: The treatment of wastewater beyond the secondary or biological stage. Normally implies the removal of nutrients, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, and a high percentage of suspended solids. THM: Trihalomethanes. Any of several synthetic organic compounds formed when chlorine or bromine combine with organic materials in water. TMA: Too many acronyms. TMDL: Total maximum daily load; A quantitative assessment of water quality problems, contributing sources, and load reductions or control actions needed to restore and protect bodies of water. Transpiration: The process in which plant tissues give off water vapor to the atmosphere as an essential physiological process. Turbidity: Thick or opaque with matter in suspension; muddy water. Ultraviolet light disinfection: A disinfection method for water that has received either secondary or tertiary treatment used as an alternative to chlorination. VE Value Engineering VOC: Volatile organic compound; a chemical compound that evaporates readily at room temperature and contains carbon. Wastewater: Water that has been previously used by a municipality, industry or agriculture and has suffered a loss of quality as a result. Water Cycle: The continuous process of surface water (puddles, lakes, oceans) evaporating from the sun's heat to become water vapor (gas) in the atmosphere. Water condenses into clouds and then falls back to earth as rain or snow (precipitation). Some precipitation soaks into the ground (percolation) to replenish groundwater supplies in underground aquifers. Water rights: A legally protected right to take possession of water occurring in a natural waterway and to divert that water for beneficial use. Water-use Efficiency: The water requirements of a particular device, fixture, appliance, process, piece of equipment, or activity. 1 Water year (USGS): The period between October 1st of one calendar year to September 30 " of the following calendar year. Watermaster: A court appointed person(s) that has specific responsibilities to carry out court decisions pertaining to a river system or watershed. Water Reclamation: The treatment of wastewater to make it suitable for a beneficial reuse, such as landscape irrigation. Also called water recycling. Watershed: The total land area that from which water drains or flows to a river, stream, lake or other body of water. Water table: The top level of water stored underground. WEF Water Environment Federation. Formerly- Water Pollution Control Federation (WPCF). International trade group advising members of sewage treatment techniques and their effect on the environment. Weir box: A device to measure/control surface water flows in streams or between ponds. Wellhead treatment: Water quality treatment of water being produced at the well site. Wetland: Any area in which the water table stands near, at, or above the land surface for a portion of the year. Wetlands are characterized by plants adapted to wet soil conditions.
