CEO CONCURRENCE: 4/5 Vote Required: No

SUBJECT: Approval to Apply for and Accept if Awarded, the California Department of Water Resources Proposition 1 Disadvantaged Communities Involvement Program Grant

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize the Director of Public Works to apply for and accept, if awarded, the California Department of Water Resources Proposition 1 Disadvantaged Communities Involvement Program Grant.

DISCUSSION: The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) administers the Proposition 1 (Prop 1) Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Grant Program to encourage integrated regional strategies for management of water resources by providing funding for water projects and programs. The IRWM Grant Program was created under the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Act of 2014 to ensure that disadvantaged and underserved communities in California are engaged and involved in IRWM planning efforts through the Disadvantaged Communities Involvement Program (DACIP) Grant. DWR awards DACIP Grants by funding area, it requires a single agency in each funding area to serve as Grantee for the entire area. Stanislaus County is in the Funding Area (SJRFA) and its Grantee is the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD). In May 2018, the CCWD submitted a DACIP Grant proposal to DWR on behalf of seven IRWM regions located in the SJRFA. In July 2018, the CCWD received a commitment letter from DWR awarding multiple agencies within the SJRFA a total of $3,100,000 for various water management projects in the funding area. Of this amount, Stanislaus County is eligible to receive $147,718 for a proposed project in the Dry Creek watershed. The County would be required to enter into a sub-agreement with the CCWD to receive this grant funding. The Dry Creek watershed has been identified by Public Works as a high priority for flood risk management, requiring solutions to assist in controlling downstream flooding of disadvantaged communities along the Tuolumne River. The Department will utilize grant dollars to conduct an alternatives analysis to identify and evaluate potential flood control, detention, stormwater capture and groundwater recharge projects within the Dry Creek Watershed.

POLICY ISSUE: The Board of Supervisor’s approval and acceptance is required to allow Public Works to access the Disadvantaged Communities Involvement Program funding from the Department of Water Resources and sub-granted through the Contra Costa Water District. FISCAL IMPACT: The California Department of Water Resources has awarded $147,718 to the Contra Costa Water District, to be sub-granted to Stanislaus County in support of flood control for disadvantaged communities downstream of Dry Creek. If awarded and accepted, the Public Works Roads budget will be adjusted in a future budget cycle. There is no local match required for this grant. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ PRIORITY: The recommended action is consistent with the Boards’ priority of Delivering Efficient Public Services and Community Infrastructure and Supporting Strong and Safe Neighborhoods by identifying and evaluating flood control solutions for County residents in disadvantaged communities. STAFFING IMPACT: Existing Public Works staff will oversee and administer this grant.

Attachment B consists of the following items:

• DAC Water Management Needs. Describes the known DAC water management needs in the SJRFA. • Existing Strategies. Outlines existing strategies to address DAC water management needs across the SJRFA. • DAC Involvement to Date. Discusses the level to which the IRWM regions in the SJRFA have involved or engaged DAC members in IRWM planning efforts; if there has been no DAC involvement, possible barriers are identified. • Funding Area Maps. Includes maps identifying all known DAC, EDA, and underrepresented communities within the SJRFA, as well as IRWM region boundaries and proposed involvement project boundaries. • Underrepresented Communities (URCs). Discusses the URCs within the SJRFA.

DAC Water Management Needs

DACs 1 comprise a significant portion of the SJRFA. The ten IRWM Regions within the SJRFA identified specific DAC water management needs through their IRWM planning processes and associated outreach efforts; these needs informed the IRWM planning processes and provide important context for future planning and implementation projects.

• Water supply reliability: Some portions of the SJRFA lack reliable water supplies because they do not have diversified sources of supply. For example, Del Puerto Water District, located in the Westside-San Joaquin IRWM Region, whose almost entire service area is considered a DAC, relies exclusively on the Central Valley Project for water supplies (with local residents relying on shallow groundwater wells) and has received a 0% allocation during multiple drought years. Other communities depend solely on groundwater, leaving them vulnerable to declining groundwater levels, well failures or water quality issues. Events that impact the quality or quantity of water supply could threaten the regional economy and thus DACs. • Access to water: Related to the issue of water supply reliability, access to water for DAC members at the household level can be an issue. In some cases, lack of infrastructure may be the problem while for others, DAC members may have access only to low-quality water. Poor access to suitable water can impact the health and safety of DACs and can also result in DAC members turning to more expensive options (i.e. bottled water).

1 For the purposes of this application, DACs is used as a collective term that also encompasses economically distressed areas (EDAs) and underrepresented communities (URCs).

B-1

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment B: DAC Background

• Water quality: Groundwater quality is a concern in some portions of the SJRFA, especially when groundwater is a community’s only source of water. Quality issues include elevated nitrate and arsenic levels and pesticides, among other constituents. Salinity levels in the Central Valley also continue to be of concern because excess salinity can impact food production, water/wastewater treatment, and water quality. • Water affordability/Infrastructure updates: As aging water infrastructure requires replacement, many water suppliers face financial difficulties. Agencies must pass their rising costs on to customers, which can be problematic for DACs, leading to financial burden to ratepayers or resulting in projects being economically infeasible. Furthermore, infrastructure updates that are required to provide supply reliability and/or meet regulatory or safety requirements are especially necessary in DACs, as many of these communities are unincorporated and may lack centralized water supply, wastewater, or stormwater infrastructure. The small size of many DAC communities also means that projects in these areas cannot take advantage of economies of scale. • Flood risk management: Much of the SJRFA is at high risk of damaging floods. DACs are particularly vulnerable to flood risk as they are frequently located in floodplains. Lack of resources hinders a community’s ability lessen the immediate impact of and to recover after a flood event. Some DACs do not have a Flood Control Agency responsible for the implementation of flood-related projects. • Small water systems and/or private wells: Small water systems with a single source of supply disproportionately exist in DACs, and these systems are vulnerable in the event of mechanical failure or source contamination as they may not have redundancy or a back-up water supply. • Agricultural job security: Many DAC members are employed in the agricultural sector, and the SJRFA’s economy relies heavily on this industry. The area’s agriculture depends on sound water management and continued supply.

Most DAC water needs are therefore driven by infrastructure demands, supply diversification, and declining groundwater elevations and/or quality.

Existing Strategies

All IRWM Regions within the SJRFA have worked to engage DACs in their respective IRWM planning processes. Regions used available data and local knowledge to identify DACs and points of contact, then conducted targeted outreach to these DACs. Strategies for communicating with and engaging DACs varied across the SJRFA. Approaches included community outreach meetings, targeted outreach via phone and email, surveys, DAC advisory committees, and coordination with nonprofits. Specific examples used by the regions include:

• Targeted outreach through partnerships with nonprofits/charities (ARB Region) • Conducted outreach meetings; published a DAC-specific web page (ECCC Region) • Secured an eligible sponsor for a project benefitting a DAC (Eastern SJ Region) • Conducted extensive survey of DAC contacts, resulting in 22 projects identified (Westside-SJ Region)

B-2

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment B: DAC Background

• Convened a public advisory committee which included a representative from a DAC-focused nonprofit and made targeted phone calls to DACs regarding participation and project solicitation (East Stanislaus Region) • Conducted public meetings in multiple communities with a professional facilitator (Madera Region) • Made interpreters available; contacted individuals with local knowledge (Merced Region) • Convened a DAC outreach subcommittee; conducted over 20 stakeholder meetings (Tuolumne-Stanislaus Region) • Established a DAC Work Group composed of DAC representatives; provides technical assistance in drafting project applications (CABY Region) Since these strategies were employed (during the IRWM process), many regions have not been able to conduct additional outreach, and many regions are seeking to reinitiate outreach efforts.

DAC Involvement to Date

As discussed above, DAC involvement varies throughout the SJRFA. Some DACs have been involved in the IRWM process by attending stakeholder meetings and public workshops, engaging in conversations regarding desire for involvement and/or proposed projects, serving on IRWM planning committees, submitting projects to IRWM Plans, communicating DAC concerns, and/or adopting IRWM Plans. Some IRWMPs also identified barriers to DAC participation, including access to technology and the internet. Language is another common issue in the SJRFA, although many Regions have made an effort to address this with interpreters and bilingual notices. In addition, DAC members often respond best when they have a familiar point of contact. Because of such barriers, DAC involvement remains limited in some cases, and the IRWM Regions would benefit from more robust DAC involvement.

Underrepresented Communities (URCs)

URCs within the SJRFA are those that are not included in an IRWM Region and/or areas where populations are small and disperse; these areas are shown as white space on Figure B-1. URCs are found in Stanislaus, San Joaquin, , Merced, San Benito, and Fresno Counties. Much of the underrepresented areas consist lie in the eastern side of the . Other URCs are found just west of Stockton and in Stanislaus County, north of the Stanislaus River. The DAC Needs Assessment conducted under Project 2 will cover the entire Funding Area (not just the geographic area covered by the IRWM Regions), and thus will include evaluation of URC needs.

Funding Area Maps

The SJRFA lies in the Central Valley and extends from the Coast Range in the west to the Sierra Nevada in the east. The SJRFA’s northern boundary extends from the northwest portion of Contra Costa County to the northeast, passing south of Sacramento. In the south, the boundary travels roughly east-west to south of Madera and north of Fresno. Figure B-1 shows the IRWM Regions within the Funding Area. The Eastern San Joaquin, East Stanislaus, and Merced IRWM Regions are entirely

B-3

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment B: DAC Background within the SJRFA; and the East Contra Costa, ARB, Madera, and Westside-San Joaquin IRWM Regions are partially within the SJRFA. The CABY, Tuolumne-Stanislaus, and MAC Regions are partially within the SJRFA as well, and have chosen not to participate in this application. URCs can also be viewed on this map, generally as the white areas not covered by an IRWM region as previously described. Figure B-2 shows the DAC and EDA communities within the Funding Area. DACs and EDAs make up the majority of the SJRFA, especially in the southern portion of the SJRFA. Figure B-3 shows the project locations. Projects 1-4, 12, and 13 will encompass the entire SJRFA. Project 5 will cover the portion of the ARB Region that lies within the SJRFA. Project 6 will occur on , in Contra Costa County. Project 7 will cover the Dry Creek watershed in Stanislaus County. Project 8 will cover the entire Eastern San Joaquin Region. Project 9 will take place throughout the Madera Region. Project 10 will occur throughout Merced County (which extends beyond the Merced IRWM Region). Project 11 will be in the Westside-San Joaquin Region.

Introduction

CCWD has submitted this DACI grant proposal describing the various DAC planning projects to be completed throughout the SJRFA, including the required DAC Needs Assessment. The projects proposed in this application intend to build self-sufficiency in DACs, advance project planning in DAC areas, and provide direction for future projects benefitting DACs. Some projects will span the entire funding area, while others will focus on individual IRWM Regions and/or individual DACs, thus providing both breadth and depth in the overall improvement of water resources management for DACs in the SJRFA.

Project 1: Grant Proposal and Administration Assistance

Lead Agency: SLDMWA (Westside-San Joaquin Region; selected to contract with consultant by consensus) Partnering Agencies: Regional Water Authority (on behalf of ARB Region), CCWD (on behalf of ECCC Region), City of Modesto (on behalf of East Stanislaus Region), San Joaquin County (on behalf of Eastern San Joaquin Region), Madera Irrigation District (on behalf of Madera Region), Merced Irrigation District (on behalf of Merced Region) Consultants: Woodard & Curran, Provost & Pritchard, Self-Help Enterprises (SHE), Environmental Justice Coalition for Water (EJCW) (collectively referred to as the Woodard & Curran team) Project 1 consists of preparation and submittal of the DACI Grant Proposal, as well as administration assistance for the DACI grant. For the purposes of grant administration, CCWD (as grant applicant) has delegated contracting authority for related work tasks to SLDMWA, who in turn, has entered into

C-1

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions a contract with Woodard & Curran (which has engaged subconsultants Provost & Pritchard, SHE, and EJCW) to assist with both of these tasks. The Woodard & Curran team assisted the IRWM regions in the SJRFA with preparation and submittal of this grant proposal (Task 1.1). As part of the grant administration following grant agreement execution between the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and CCWD, the Woodard & Curran team will coordinate with the grantee (CCWD) and DWR, as well as with the participating IRWM regions (Task 1.2) to meet funding agreement requirements. The Woodard & Curran team will be responsible for overall coordination of grant administration on behalf of the SJRFA and CCWD, while CCWD will be responsible for execution of the grant administration work. Task 1.1 – Grant Proposal The Woodard & Curran team assisted the SJRFA with preparation and submittal of this DACI Grant Proposal. Work completed included the following:

• Coordinating with the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC), composed of representatives from participating RWMGs; • Preparing for, attending, and conducting conference calls and in-person meetings; • Preparing the administrative draft DACI Grant Proposal for review by the SAC; • Revising the proposal to address SAC comments; • Submitting the Draft DACI Grant Proposal to DWR for review; • Attending a conference call with the SJRFA and DWR to discuss DWR’s comments on the draft proposal; and • Finalizing the proposal in conjunction with the SAC and submitting to DWR. Task 1.1 Justification The seven participating IRWM regions in the SJRFA have agreed to submit a single SJRFA DACI grant proposal to DWR in order to secure funding for DAC planning projects in the SJRFA. To obtain DACI grant funding, a grant proposal must be submitted to DWR as described in the 2016 DACI RFP. In order to limit financial burden to the participating regions and associated ratepayers, the SJRFA is requesting grant proposal preparation and submittal be paid for by the grant. This will limit the potential negative financial impact to DACs within the participating regions by eliminating the need to pass down costs associated with this project. Task 1.1 Deliverables • Draft Proposal to DWR • Final Proposal to DWR Task 1.1 Key Milestones • Submittal of Draft Proposal to DWR • Submittal of Final Proposal to DWR Task 1.2 – Grant Administration Support and Coordination Woodard & Curran is currently under contract (with SLDMWA) to assist with grant administration and coordination work for the DACI grant. This task will not include all grant administration work but will support CCWD’s work to administer the entire grant (which will occur under Project 3). This

C-2

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions task will also include grant administration for Projects 1 and 2. The support and coordination work to be conducted under Task 1.2 includes the following items:

• Ongoing Coordination. Woodard & Curran will actively work with CCWD and the SJRFA RWMGs during planning project implementation. Coordination methods include phone calls with CCWD and/or DWR, conference calls or in-person meetings with the SAC, and email communications. • Contract Management and Project Management. Woodard & Curran will host a kick-off grant administration meeting with CCWD and the participating IRWM regions to review requirements in the DWR grant agreement. Woodard & Curran will conduct project tracking, coordination, invoicing, and progress reporting on a monthly basis (for its Woodard & Curran-SLDMWA contract for Projects 1 and 2). For the remaining projects, Woodard & Curran will assist CCWD and the participating IRWM regions in coordinating with DWR, developing and negotiating contracts (between CCWD and DWR, as well as between participating IRWM regions and the project sponsors), coordinating for and processing contract amendments, and fulfilling contract requirements. CCWD will be responsible for receiving, compiling, and submitting invoices and quarterly progress reports, as well as advanced payment funding plans and final reports (under Project 3); Woodard & Curran will assist at a high level to coordinate this work. Woodard & Curran will prepare quarterly progress report (QPR), accountability report, and final report templates to be used by CCWD and the IRWM regions to ensure consistency. • Grant Agreement Amendment. Woodard & Curran will assist the SJRFA and CCWD with a grant agreement amendment, if necessary, following completion of the Needs Assessment. A draft amendment would be submitted to the SAC for review prior to development of a final version that would be submitted to DWR for approval and execution. As stipulated by the 2016 DACI RFP, Woodard & Curran will attend bi-annual meetings with DWR staff to discuss the status of the DACI Grant contract and any outstanding issues. Woodard & Curran will facilitate additional coordination meetings with the participating IRWM regions, as needed. • Project 1 and 2 Grant Administration. On a quarterly basis, Woodard& Curran will compile and annotate its invoices, along with invoices from the consultant team (SHE, EJCW, and Provost & Pritchard), for Projects 1 and 2. The compiled annotated invoices will be submitted to CCWD. Woodard & Curran will also compile and submit QPRs to CCWD for the projects on a regular and consistent basis to meet the State’s requirement for disbursement of funds. Woodard & Curran will prepare information for inclusion in the advanced payment funding plan, to be prepared by CCWD, and will also prepare quarterly accountability reports while advanced funding is being used. Woodard & Curran will also prepare the final project completion reports for Projects 1 and 2 for submittal to CCWD. Task 1.2 Justification Grant administration is inherently required by the grantee as a result of this DACI Grant awarded to the SJRFA. In order to limit financial burden to the participating regions and associated ratepayers, the SJRFA is requesting grant administration services be paid for by the grant. This will limit the potential negative financial impact to DACs within the participating regions by eliminating the need to pass down costs associated with this project and ensure compliance with the grant agreement.

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions and SHE will conduct the bulk of the community outreach work using their existing contacts in the SJRFA. Project 2 Justification Although the IRWM Regions composing the SJRFA have conducted DAC outreach and assessments, the depth and breadth of these activities have been limited by funding availability. This project will build off existing DAC outreach and assessment activities, update and expand on existing information, and identify data gaps and projects to be addressed by other projects included in this proposal. Project 2 Deliverables • Needs Assessment Database • Draft Needs Assessment Report • Final Needs Assessment Report Project 2 Key Milestones • Needs Assessment Completion • Completion of deliverables

Project 3: Grant Administration by CCWD

Lead Agency: CCWD Partnering Agency: none Consultants: none This project includes funding administration and tasks associated with complying with the grant agreement between DWR and CCWD. CCWD, as the grantee, will undertake Project 3. Under this project, CCWD will coordinate with DWR, as well as one identified point of contact (POC) for each participating IRWM region as shown in the following figure. Each region POC will work with project sponsors to prepare QPRs, project completion reports, funding plans and accountability reports, and annotated invoices for planning projects within the region, to be submitted to CCWD. In most cases, the IRWM region POC is the project sponsor and will complete its own grant administration services. CCWD will review and compile materials from the region POCs for submittal to DWR. As part of Task 1.2, Woodard & Curran will assist at a high level to coordinate this work. Woodard & Curran will prepare quarterly progress report, accountability report, and final report templates to be used by CCWD and the IRWM regions to ensure consistency under Task 1.2.

FIGURE C-1. FLOW OF PROJECT INFORMATION FOR REPORTING TO DWR

CCWD will complete the following under Project 3.

• Negotiate and Execute Funding Agreement with DWR. CCWD staff will review the draft grant agreement provided by DWR, provide comments, and negotiate the terms of the agreement. Once the final agreement is prepared and agreed upon by both parties, CCWD will execute it. • Negotiate and Execute Agreements with region POCs. In order to aid in transfer of funds from DWR to individual project sponsors, CCWD will execute agreements with each region POC. Upon receipt of a grant disbursement from DWR, CCWD would distribute reimbursement funds to the region POCs and the region POCs would then, in turn, distribute the funds to the individual project sponsors. These agreements may include a statement committing the region to participating in the DACI Program, descriptions of the obligations of each party, and agreed-upon documentation to address dispute resolution and/or non- participation. • Quarterly Invoicing and Reporting. CCWD will coordinate with the POCs from each IRWM region to conduct quarterly invoicing and reporting as required by the executed grant agreement. This project will include review and compilation of quarterly invoices and progress reports for submittal to DWR. As part of Task 1.2, Woodard & Curran will support this work by providing templates to the IRWM regions and coordinating with CCWD, if needed. • Funding Plans and Accountability Reports. Before advanced payment funds are released by DWR, CCWD must submit a funding plan detailing its plan for spending advanced funds on Projects 1 through 13. Each IRWM Region will provide CCWD with a funding plan for their portion of the grant funding. CCWD will review the funding plans to ensure they are compliant with advanced payment requirements and will submit the plans to DWR in a compiled fashion. CCWD will be responsible for preparing quarterly accountability reports documenting use of its advanced funds. CCWD will review quarterly accountability reports for consistency with DWR’s advanced payment requirements and will submit the reports to

C-7

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

DWR. As part of Task 1.2, Woodard & Curran will support this work by providing funding plan and accountability report templates to the IRWM regions and coordinating with CCWD, if needed. • Final Reports. As stipulated by the grant agreement, CCWD will submit a Final Grant Completion Report within 90 days of all planning projects being completed. The region POCs will provide CCWD final reports specific to the planning projects in their regions. Then, CCWD will review final reports for Projects 1 through 13, compile, and submit to DWR. As part of Task 1.2, Woodard & Curran will support this work by providing a final report template to the IRWM regions and coordinating with CCWD, if needed. • Annual Check-ins. Every year CCWD will review the status and costs incurred for each planning project (based on the QPRs submitted to CCWD by each region POC). Should a planning project be completed under budget or change for some reason and result in unused residual funds, CCWD would conduct a meeting with the SAC to discuss redistribution of funds. • Grant Agreement Amendment. Should a grant amendment be required in order to adjust the schedule, planning project details, or budgets, CCWD will coordinate with DWR. CCWD will prepare information as required by DWR, coordinate with the region POCs, and submit accordingly. • Coordination. CCWD will coordinate with DWR and the region POCs throughout the term of the funding agreement, anticipated to be three years. Project 3 Justification This task supports the overall administration of the grant, which is comprised of projects that support the desired outcomes of the DACI Program. Project 3 Deliverables • Executed grant agreement between CCWD and DWR • Executed agreements between CCWD and project sponsors • Funding plan and accountability reports for advanced payment • QPRs and invoices • Final Report Project 3 Key Milestones • Execution of the grant agreement between CCWD and DWR • Execution of the agreements between CCWD and project sponsors • Submittal of Funding Plan and Accountability Reports to DWR • Submittal of QPRs and invoices to DWR • Submittal of the Final Report to DWR

Project 4: SJRFA IRWM Region Coordination

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

Madera Irrigation District (on behalf of Madera Region), Merced Irrigation District (on behalf of Merced Region), SLDMWA (on behalf of Westside-San Joaquin Region). Consultants: none This project includes coordination work between the staff/representatives of the seven participating IRWM Regions. Work completed to date includes interregional coordination to determine the participating Regions, securing a consultant for grant proposal and administration assistance and Needs Assessment through a Request for Proposal process (Woodard & Curran), Funding Area-wide meetings, SAC establishment, and project development. Coordination has occurred through email, phone calls, in person meetings, conference calls, and internal meetings among IRWM region staff and RWMGs. To date, the IRWM Regions have met on the following dates:

• July 12, 2016 via conference call • September 15, 2016 via conference call • October 6, 2016 in Modesto, CA • December 22, 2016, in Los Banos, CA • June 22, 2017 in Modesto, CA • July 12, 2017 in Modesto, CA • July 21, 2017 via conference call • August 10, 2017 in Modesto, CA • October 5, 2017 in Modesto, CA • October 26, 2017 via conference call • November 16, 2017 via conference call • December 18, 2017 via conference call • January 29, 2018 via conference call • February 21, 2018 in Modesto, CA This project will include ongoing meetings and coordination as needed for the duration of the grant period. It is estimated the regions will meet in person bi-annually for the three-year grant agreement term, for a total of 6 in-person meetings. For planning purposes, it is assumed that these meetings will be held in Modesto. A total of 16 conference calls are estimated throughout the grant period (approximately once per month for 6 months and quarterly for the remainder of the grant period). Additional coordination will occur via phone and email throughout. Project 4 does not include work on the administration of the grant; that is covered by Project 3. Project 4 Justification Significant interregional coordination is required in order to coordinate on a Funding Area-wide basis, develop the DACI grant proposal, and implement the planning projects within the proposal. This coordination and work completed under Project 4 leads directly to the development and implementation of the DACI grant proposal and program for the SJRFA, resulting in completion of the funding area-wide DAC Needs Assessment, and other planning projects that will directly benefit DACs. Project 4 Deliverables • Meeting agendas, notes, and sign-in sheets

Project 4 Key Milestones • Meetings as needed (in person or via conference call)

Project 5: Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Water Education and Improvement Project

Lead Agency: Regional Water Authority (on behalf of ARB Region) Partnering Agency: none Consultants: EJCW, UC Davis Center for Regional Change (UCD CRC) ARB’s Regional Planning project will consist of one overarching project: the Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Water Education and Improvement Project. The project will be led by EJCW on behalf of ARB IRWM region and is comprised of five tasks: (1) a targeted needs assessment and technical assistance for water-challenged Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUCs); (2) support for domestic well users, including well water quality testing and assistance working with results; (3) identification of URCs at that are not necessarily a geographically contiguous “community”, but which, as members of a similarly-situated group, have some generalizable interests in water management (i.e., farmworkers and other low-wage workers in the work place, people with disabilities, language minorities, people experiencing homelessness, etc.), and potential infrastructure projects, outreach and education, governance and/or policy, or other interventions to address the URC water-related challenges identified; (4) water-related community outreach and education to develop and build the capacity of resident leaders to engage directly in water governance and management decision-making processes; and (5) administration of the project and associated grant funding. The project will occur within the portion of the ARB region that is within the SJRFA boundaries. Task 5.1 – Funding Administration and Project Management Task 5.1 encompasses funding administration work associated with other tasks completed under Project 5. Funding Administration EJCW will prepare and submit a narrative description of its activities for the progress report and will prepare and submit a commensurate invoice for hours worked to the ARB Region Point of Contact (POC) for submission to DWR via CCWD (as grantee). EJCW will prepare QPRs, invoices, and a final report. EJCW will also prepare a funding plan and quarterly Accountability Reports for advanced payment. Supervise Work Effort EJCW will provide supervision of work effort undertaken by its own staff. Task 5.1 Justification Task 5.1 will directly support the overall administration of the grant, which supports the desired outcomes of the DACI Program. Further, use of grant funds to perform grant administration activities helps to limit the financial burden to DACs, DUCs, and URCs within the ARB IRWM Region.

C-10

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

Task 5.1 Deliverables • Funding Plan and Accountability Reports for advanced payment • QPRs and invoices • Final Report Task 5.1 Key Milestones • Submittal of Funding Plan and Accountability Reports to CCWD • Submittal of QPRs and invoices to CCWD • Submittal of the Final Report to CCWD Task 5.2 – Targeted Needs Assessment Task 5.2 will include a targeted needs assessment for DUCs, as well as dedicated work to verify secondary data, and a technical needs assessment to thoroughly determine the needs of ARB communities (within the SJRFA). Work under this task will follow and build on the SJRFA-wide DAC Needs Assessment conducted in Project 2, which is more general and wide-spread. Task 5.2 will replicate an analysis of unincorporated communities already undertaken for all other SJRFA regions except for American River Basin and East Contra Costa County Regions (DUC Data Mapping and Analysis). Task 5.2 will also include community-specific “ground-truthing” at the household-level and technical needs assessment activities. The results (quantitative and qualitative) of Task 5.2 will be appended to the Funding Area-wide Needs Assessment, once approved by the ARB IRWM region. DUC Data Mapping and Analysis In February 2018, the UC Davis Center for Regional Change (UCD CRC) published a report on DUCs in the San Joaquin Valley. Task 5.2 would extend a similar study to the SJRFA portion of the ARB IRWM Region resulting in mapping and a report on DUCs. The DAC Data Mapping and Analysis would use same the data collection, analysis, and mapping methodology as in the San Joaquin Valley-wide report, with the goal of evaluating the potential for access to safe water via community water system consolidation and other long-term solutions. EJCW would enter into a contract with UCD CRC to perform this work. Ground-Truthing Outreach Following the initial collection and analysis of data, considerable work must be done to verify the information gleaned from secondary data, as secondary data may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Ground-truthing will occur via targeted interviews with system operators, those who service domestic wells, and residents of suspected DUCs not fully intersected by community water systems (CWSs), etc. EJCW would conduct this work in coordination with UCD CRC. EJCW and UCD CRC will develop a list of interviewees contacted and interviewed, as well as written notes (sometimes anonymized, as occasionally requested by interviewees) from those interviews. This work will provide a more complete picture of DUC needs in the Region. Technical Needs Assessment Following the data-gathering portions of Task 5.2, DUC needs will be assessed. EJCW will enter into a contract with its contract engineer(s) and in consultation with UCD CRC and other technical advisors will assess needs (particularly issues with reliable access to safe, clean, affordable water) and propose solutions. Such solutions will also include evaluation of the planning, technical,

C-11

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions managerial, and financial steps needed to achieve them. It is assumed EJCW will conduct three to four top-priority assessments. Task 5.2 Justification This task will build upon the SJRFA DAC Needs Assessment (Project 2) which is required under the DACI Program and on previous work conducted by UC Davis CRC. The task will improve understanding of water management needs in unincorporated communities in the ARB Region (within the SJRFA boundaries) and will help direct future planning and construction efforts. Task 5.2 Deliverables • Map(s) of and report on DUCs • List of interviewees contacted and interviewed; written notes (sometimes anonymized, as occasionally requested by interviewees) from those interviews • Three to four top-priority assessments Task 5.2 Key Milestones • Executed subcontract with UCD CRC to conduct DUC mapping methodology in ARB (primarily Sacramento County) • Completion and review by EJCW with UCD CRC of preliminary data analysis and mapping • Executed contract between EJCW and contract engineer; in consultation with UCD CRC, ARB region, and contract engineer, identify 3-4 top-priority assessments to be conducted Task 5.3 – Domestic Well User Support While many domestic well users exist in the ARB Region, disadvantaged users are unlikely to have the resources to conduct water quality testing, even when contaminants may be present. EJCW will conduct outreach to domestic well users and will provide free water quality testing and related technical support to selected well users. Well Water Quality Testing EJCW will contract with a California State-certified laboratory to provide no-cost drinking water sampling and testing from the tap and from the well to low-income households, clusters of households, including state small water systems, and potentially small non-transient non-community water systems (i.e., schools, churches, etc.) that are dependent on well water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, hygiene, etc. Between 75 and 150 tests will be performed; testing will focus on groundwater contaminants known to occur in the area including nitrate, arsenic, bacteria indicators, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, and methyl tert-butyl ether. The number of wells tested will depend on the number of constituents being tested for in each well and the number of constituents per test panel. The water quality results will be provided to the disadvantaged users, and the data would also be provided to the SWRCB and uploaded to GeoTracker (GAMA), unless specifically disallowed by responsible party/point(s) of contact, in which case it may be anonymized and geographically generalized. EJCW will maintain a list of parties to whom results of water quality testing and appropriate information is provided. Outreach to Domestic Well Users Building on previous work in the Salinas Valley, EJCW will modify and disseminate outreach materials to domestic well users. Outreach materials may include descriptive and promotional

C-12

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions pamphlets, phone hotline, website (i.e., Facebook page), and/or radio or video promotional information for use in the target area/communities. Using the UC Davis DUC map(s) and report (discussed in Task 5.2, above) as a guide, EJCW will conduct up to 10 informational outreach events by tabling at events (i.e., county resource fair, church services, school resource fairs, etc.), soliciting the support of key institutions and institutional actors (i.e., schools, churches, county representatives and staff, health clinic directors, etc.) to disseminate information, and door-to-door outreach (especially where neighbor willing to broker relationship). Technical Assistance for Well Users EJCW will deliver the results of the water quality testing to the appropriate household resident(s) along with the necessary information and guidance to best interpret and plan to deal with the results, including possible modifications, consolidations, new well head treatment, point of use (POU) treatment, etc. Task 5.3 Justification Task 5.3 will increase DAC engagement with water management, provide needed data on water quality, and may identify areas for future work to improve the water systems of domestic well users. Moreover, this task will ensure that DACs are informed of their water quality and any health risks that may be posed by their water systems. Task 5.3 Deliverables • Water quality results, including providing them to State Water Resources Control Board and uploaded to GeoTracker (GAMA), (unless specifically disallowed by responsible party/point(s) of contact, in which case it may be anonymized and geographically generalized) • List of parties to whom results of water quality testing and appropriate information is provided (possibly anonymized, as sometimes requested by participants) • Outreach materials to well users Task 5.3 Key Milestones • Execute subcontract for sampling and testing with California State-certified laboratory. • Finalize public materials and announce time-limited domestic well testing, advice, and assistance project • Receipt by EJCW of water quality test results (on a rolling basis or in batches, depending on pace of demand) Task 5.4 – URC Project EJCW will conduct approximately 12 interviews with key social service providers, public agency officials, etc., and collect and analyze any existing data on the nexus between water and likely candidate URCs (i.e., farmworkers and other low-wage workers in the home and work place, people with disabilities, language minorities, people experiencing homelessness, etc.) For each URC identified, EJCW will produce a written profile, including a description of the URS, relevant demographic information, maps, and/or photos. EJCW will also document interviews with notes and a write-up of needs and asset assessment of the URC. EJCW will consult with the ARB IRWM region and local stakeholders at in-person meetings. Based upon these consultations and the initial data collection and identification phase, EJCW will select one to three URC constituencies for a deeper

C-13

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions needs and assets assessment to examine the water challenges faced by the URCs (e.g., homeless access to water and sanitation). EJCW will prepare a work plan for these assessments prior to conducting the work. EJCW will work with URC contacts to examine potential interventions and solutions (e.g., safe, clean, accessible public water fountains and restrooms) and prepare a final URC solution set proposal for up to three URCs. Task 5.4 Justification This task will expand upon the DAC Needs Assessment and previous work completed by UCD (see Task 5.2) to provide an in-depth look at needs in the ARB Region which have not yet been captured in other studies. URC voices have historically been left out of many planning processes, including water management work. This task will begin to close this gap and increase DAC engagement. Task 5.4 Deliverables • Written profile (description of URC, any relevant demographic information and/or maps, any photos, etc.) for each URC identified • List of interviewees interviewed on what date, at what time, for what URC, and accompanying notes (potentially anonymized, as is sometimes requested by interviewees); final brief write up of needs and asset assessment • Meeting agendas and any attendance or sign-in sheets and notes; final URC solution set proposal(s) for up to 3 URCs Task 5.4 Key Milestones • Meet with ARB and select URC targets; establish first draft work plan • Meet with URC stakeholder groups; meet with ARB IRWM region Task 5.5 – Community Education Task 5.5 will consist of community education activities, including a showing of EJCW’s documentary film on the human right to water, and in-depth training on water justice. Human Right to Water Documentary and Community Forums EJCW will host a community drinking water forum, featuring EJCW's 38-minute documentary film on the human right to water and selected local thought leaders and directly affected community residents, for approximately 50-75 decision-makers, ARB IRWM region participants, public officials and staffers, and, space permitting, members of the general public. If, after the targeted invitees have had a reasonable opportunity to register, spaces remain available within approximately one week of the event, public notices of the event will be disseminated via targeted Eventbrite and Facebook’s public event announcement function. At the event, an agenda or program and other materials may be disseminated, and a list of registered attendees will be gathered as documentation of the event. Water Justice Leadership Training EJCW will conduct a multi-part water justice leadership training with resident stakeholders from the SJRFA portion of the ARB region, based on the water justice leadership curriculum EJCW created and piloted in three Salinas and Pajaro Valley farmworker communities in 2015. The curriculum will be updated prior to the planned training. The water justice leadership training covers water governance, including formal and informal, public and private decision-making forums, what is known about the needs identified in the area and any nuances participants may be able to add, what solutions to water-

C-14

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions related challenges are, how to influence and achieve outcomes, and more, as defined by the group. Participants who complete the training will be provided with copies of individual certificates of completion. Environmental Justice Water Tour EJCW and the graduates of EJCW's water justice leadership training will co-lead an environmental justice water tour to highlight the issues examined in the training in the context of their lived experience for selected local thought leaders and directly affected community residents, for approximately 25-35 decision-makers, ARB IRWM region participants, public officials and staffers, directly affected residents, etc. It is anticipated that specific attendees will be invited to attend on an invitation-only basis; the intent is to keep the tour(s) targeted to the most relevant audience and also not to overwhelm the residents of the directly affected communities and households. EJCW will provide a brief report on the tour after it has been conducted, along with materials such as publicity documents, itinerary, agenda, and participant list. Task 5.5 Justification Task 5.5 will provide education to stakeholders and community members and serve as an opportunity for exchange of ideas between individuals interested in water justice issues. The work conducted under this task will improve community understanding of water management needs. Task 5.5 Deliverables • Publication materials; agenda and other materials disseminated at event; list of registered attendees • Revised water justice curriculum; list of participants/graduates; copies of individual certificates of completion • Publicity, itinerary, agenda, participant list, report, etc., for tour(s) Task 5.5 Key Milestones • Selection of venue, date and time, and publication of event • First meeting of water justice leadership training cohort • Selection and publication of tour date/time

Project 6: SIV Water Consolidation Technical Assistance

Lead Agency: Diablo Water District (DWD) Partnering Agency: CCWD (on behalf of ECCC Region) Consultants: none Project 6 consists of work related to the Capacity Building and Technical Assistance within the Bethel Island Community project, sponsored by DWD, and associated project administration. The project will take place on Bethel Island, which is an isolated island community of approximately 2,200 residents in the Bay-Delta that is considered a severely disadvantaged community (SDAC). Currently, most residents on Bethel Island are provided with water service through private wells or

C-15

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions privately-owned water systems; there are approximately 30 separate water systems in operation on the island. Santiago Island Village (SIV) is a small mobile home community of 211 units on 22 acres on Bethel Island. Water quality monitoring data from the SIV well indicates that the water source exceeds the secondary MCL for manganese. A sanitary survey completed by the SWRCB in October 2017 identified deficiencies in the system that must be resolved. Additionally, SIV does not have sufficient storage onsite as required by their SWRCB operating permit. As such, SIV is seeking connection to DWD’s water system for a long-term and permanent solution to their water quality and quantity needs. DWD currently provides water for the Delta Coves community, a new development on the southern end of Bethel Island, adjacent to SIV. The distribution infrastructure installed in order to serve the Delta Coves community has sufficient capacity and accessible location to serve the water supply needs of SIV. DWD receives a majority of its water supply from CCWD, which is a wholesale provider and contractor of Central Valley Project (CVP). Therefore, in order for DWD to incorporate SIV into its service area, SIV must be annexed by DWD and CCWD, and SIV must be included in the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) CVP service area. These service area boundary modifications and inclusions require steps involving the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), Contra Costa County, the State Board of Equalization, and compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project 6 will provide the Technical Assistance needed for SIV to effectively consolidate SIV with the DWD water system and resolve SIV’s water quality and supply needs as identified by the SWRCB. The Technical Assistance task will include CEQA preparation, annexation efforts and requirements, and compliance with county and state requirements. It is the goal of DWD that completion of the project and ultimate SIV consolidation will result in implementation of a model project for Bethel Island showing successful consolidation of a small community water system with a larger water system that can provide water quality and water supply benefits. Task 6.1 – Funding Administration Under this task, CCWD will work with DWD to prepare invoices, including relevant supporting documentation. CCWD and DWD will also prepare reports detailing work completed during the reporting period as well as Draft and Final Project Completion Reports in accordance with the reporting provisions in the DWR agreement. DWD will submit quarterly invoices, reports, and backup documentation to CCWD, as the DACI grantee. CCWD and DWD will also prepare documentation for advanced funding (a funding plan and quarterly Accountability Reports). Task 6.1 Justification Task 6.1 will directly support the overall administration of the grant, which supports the desired outcomes of the DACI Program. Further, usage of grant funds to perform grant administration activities helps to limit the financial burden to DACs within the ECCC IRWM Region. Task 6.1 Deliverables • Funding Plan and Accountability Reports for advanced payment

C-16

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

• QPRs and invoices • Final Report Task 6.1 Key Milestones • Submittal of Funding Plan and Accountability Reports • Submittal of QPRs and invoices • Submittal of the Final Report Task 6.2 – SIV Water Consolidation Technical Assistance The Technical Assistance task will include environmental documentation; water entitlements, annexation, and CVP inclusion; and assessment of the SIV model project. DWD and CCWD will work collaboratively to complete the Technical Assistance work. Environmental documentation will be prepared by CCWD with assistance from SIV and DWD, and is expected to consist of a categorical exemption under CEQA, which will be reviewed and processed by the LAFCo, DWD, and CCWD. DWD will then complete the LAFCo annexation process, including an amendment to the DWD sphere of influence and annexation of SIV into the DWD and CCWD service areas. DWD and CCWD will complete County surveyor and recorder, and State Board of Equalization requirements. CCWD will, complete the Reclamation CVP Inclusion process. Once annexation processes are complete, the SIV Model Project will be implemented. This project will provide SIV with a solution to water quality and supply issues that have been identified by the SWRCB. The SIV Model Project will also provide an example of a successful consolidation of a small, out-of-compliance water system to a large system that involves completing the complex CVP inclusion process. The Model Project will provide an example for other Bethel Island Systems about the feasibility of connecting to a larger system and aligns with the State’s goal of consolidate public water systems. The project consists of tasks to be completed by DWD that are related to connecting water service to SIV, including creating the plat and legal descriptions; constructing water service infrastructure (including pipelines, meters, and backflow devices); and performing construction administration, developing plans, and performing inspections. DWD will prepare plans and specifications through the water meter and point of connection to the lateral. DWD will construct approximately 60 feet of 4-inch PVC pipe from the existing point of connection to the new master meter (also to be installed by DWD). This task includes connection fees that must be paid to DWD to connect SIV to the water system. Finally, CCWD and DWD will conduct an Assessment of the SIV Model Project. The Assessment will include review of the annexation process, review of the implementation of the model project, and assessment of implementability for other communities on Bethel Island. The Assessment will identify potential benefits for the larger Bethel Island community and potential hurdles based on the success of the model project. The efficacy of capacity building projects will also be assessed. Task 6.2 Justification The technical assistance task will carry the SIV Model Project through project development work (CEQA, LAFCo review, etc.) and implementation. This task directly supports DWR’s desired outcomes of technical assistance and project development assistance. Further, the project will set the stage for

C-17

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions future work of this type which can assist other DACs. The capacity building projects to be performed will be included as a part of the model project’s results to inform future efforts and projects related to water service provision on Bethel Island. Task 6.2 Deliverables • Completed CEQA document, concurrence from DWD, CCWD, and LAFCo • Completed LAFCo, DWD, and CCWD annexation processes; USBR CVP Inclusion; LAFCo SOI Amendment; LAFCo Hearing Notice; County survey, County recorder, State BOE notification • Plat and legal description; site plans; completed water service infrastructure • Assessment of model project implementation Task 6.2 Key Milestones • Completion of CEQA document • Completion of annexation process • Completion of water service infrastructure Task 6.3 – Outreach Under this task, CCWD will support capacity building efforts by coordinating communication with SIV representatives, DWD, CCWD, SWRCB, and DWR. DWD and CCWD will be available as a resource to SIV and its residents to answer questions and comments about the project. CCWD will monitor flow and volume of received questions and include summary information in the SIV Model Project Assessment under Task 6.2. This task will also include development of outreach and educational materials for SIV describing the consolidation process of the SIV well system with DWD water system. CCWD will update the ECCC IRWM website to provide project-specific information on the DAC webpage. Outreach and educational materials will be distributed to SIV residents by the SIV mobile home park management company.

Project 7: Evaluation of Stormwater Management and Groundwater Recharge Projects in Dry Creek Watershed

Lead Agency: Stanislaus County (on behalf of East Stanislaus Region) Partnering Agency: City of Modesto Consultants: To be Determined (through RFP process described below) Project 7 will be an evaluation of stormwater management and groundwater recharge projects in the Dry Creek watershed of Stanislaus County located in the East Stanislaus IRWM Region. The Dry Creek Watershed has been identified as a high priority for flood risk management, requiring solutions to assist in controlling downstream flooding of DACs located along the Tuolumne River. An alternatives analysis entitled Evaluation of Stormwater Management and Groundwater Recharge Projects in the Dry Creek Watershed of Stanislaus County is proposed to identify and evaluate potential flood control, detention, stormwater capture and groundwater recharge projects within the Dry Creek Watershed. The potential projects identified in the alternatives analysis will improve flood risk management in DACs, enhance water resources through groundwater recharge, improve ecosystem functions and promote multi-benefit uses within the Dry Creek Watershed. The alternatives analysis will identify and evaluate a minimum of ten potential projects and will ultimately result in the selection of three high priority potential projects that will be investigated and further developed in a second future phase of work. Task 7.1 – Contract Consultant To date, Stanislaus County has prepared an RFP for the alternatives analysis, which was completed in February 2018. Under this task, Stanislaus County will publish the RFP and receive bids/proposals from consultants, evaluate proposals, select and notify consultants to be interviewed, and develop a final ranking of consultants. Following consultant selection, Stanislaus County will negotiate a contract with the consultant. Task 7.1 Justification Task 7.1 is an essential first step in the process of completing the alternatives analysis, and directly enables the project development projects under Task 7.2. Therefore, this task supports the overall outcome of the project, which is to develop a project that will alleviate flooding in DACs. Task 7.1 Deliverables • Professional design services agreement between County and consultant Task 7.1 Key Milestones • Release RFP • Receive bids from consultants • Select consultant

Specific components of Task 8.1 are discussed under the subheadings below. Identify Outreach Targets and Conduct Initial Outreach and Education EJCW will work through existing EJCW contacts and other networks (e.g., Hunger Task Force, Homelessness Task Force, San Joaquin Valley Health Fund and other foundation grantees, legal services provider(s), California Indian Tribes, low-income and Medi-Cal health clinics) to conduct initial outreach and education on IRWM and DAC Involvement Program, its objectives, etc., and invite to local/regional water discussion session. EJCW will conduct initial outreach to 20 or more relevant groups and provide educational materials and/or presentation to contacts. Outreach will occur via email, phone, and some in-person meetings in order to identify community members or groups for further outreach efforts and participation in discussion sessions (described below). An outreach contact list and call logs will be continually maintained during this work. Local/Regional Discussion Sessions EJCW will work with local partners and groups contacted during initial outreach and education task work to convene approximately six local (neighborhood/small community scale) discussion sessions and, thereafter, one regional discussion session to screen EJCW’s human right to water film. The discussion sessions will also include presentation and discussion of information from the Funding Area-wide Needs Assessment and complementary information, i.e., UC Davis Disadvantaged Unincorporated Community water access study. EJCW will compile notes on feedback received and recruit those who emerge as potential resident leaders to participate in water justice leadership training. Water Justice Leadership and Capacity-Building Training EJCW will conduct a water leadership and capacity-building training with willing participants among emerging resident leaders identified in earlier task work to building the “water IQ,” knowledge of water governance, including IRWM, and capacity of local residents to engage productively in water

C-21

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions decision-making, including in the identification of water challenges and solutions and how to address, fund, and advance them. A minimum of eight participants will be enrolled in the course, and list of participants and graduates will be provided under this task. Regional Water Justice Tours EJCW will work with water leadership trainees to conduct one to two regional water justice tours for residents of communities and/or neighborhoods impacted by water challenges, local elected officials, IRWM group member representatives, and other key decision-makers and stakeholders, for a total of 25-30 participants. These tours will aim to educate participants on the nature of the problems identified, the communities’ preferred solutions, and to form partnerships to advance those solutions. Participant lists, educational materials, and notes will be compiled at the completion of this work. DAC/Tribal Roundtable EJCW will work with water leadership trainees and other key stakeholders, identified through previous task work, to convene a DAC/Tribal water roundtable (or Task Force, Work Group, etc.) to be held monthly for six months. The goal of these meetings will be to routinely and systematically prioritize and advance the interests of DACs and Tribes within the region in reliable access to safe, clean, affordable water for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene, and sanitation, flood risk management, fishing and recreation, and other priorities identified by the group. EJCW will compile meeting materials (sign-in sheets, agendas, and notes) following each meeting. Integrate DAC Task Force into IRWM Governance Structure EJCW will work with the DAC/Tribal water roundtable to integrate with the broader IRWM regional governance structure by means of direct conversation and negotiation with the IRWM regional representatives to find a mutually-agreed-upon and workable means of incorporating DAC and Tribal voices into the IRWM governance structure. Invoicing and Reporting For the work conducted as part of Task 8.1, EJCW will submit quarterly invoices and reports to the Eastern San Joaquin Region POC for submission to CCWD. ECJW will also submit a final report at the conclusion of the project. Task 8.1 Justification Task 8.1 furthers DAC involvement in the IRWM process in multiple ways. The task will include outreach activities which will improve DAC engagement in the IRWM process. In addition, the governance structure of the Eastern San Joaquin IRWM Region will be reevaluated in order to ensure DAC participation. Work under this task will also help DACs overcome obstacles to communicating their needs as DAC feedback will be directly solicited through multiple aspects of the task. The results achieved through this work qualify as desired outcomes as stated in the DACI Program RFP.

Project 10: Merced County Well Survey and Database

Lead Agency: Merced Irrigation District (on behalf of Merced Region) Partnering Agency: none Consultants: Amec Foster Wheeler, ESP Surveying, Inc. Task 10.1 – Well Survey and Database Merced Irrigation District will contract with Amec Foster Wheeler, supported by ESP Surveying, Inc., to conduct a field survey of approximately 248 wells in the Merced Groundwater Basin in Merced County that are within DACs or EDAs. The wells within the DAC areas of the county include wells within Merced Irrigation District, Atwater, Livingston, Winston, and CASGEM participant wells. The survey will be limited to wells within DAC/EDA areas or wells that directly serve DACs/EDAs. The 248 well locations will be surveyed using North American Datum 1983 (NAD83). The ground surface elevation and reference point elevation at each well will be measured using North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88). Two reference photographs will be taken – one showing the entire wellhead and survey points and one showing the reference point that was surveyed. Other pertinent information such as well construction, status, and condition will also be gather. Quality assurance and control measures will be conducted throughout the survey. The new survey data will be incorporated into a single Microsoft Excel database that is compatible with Merced Irrigation District’s HydroDMS database. The survey will bring all wells to a single common datum and will verify the surface data and reference points. This will ensure that the proper measuring point for depth to groundwater is confirmed or adjusted in each well. Task 10.1 Justification The Merced Groundwater Subbasin was identified by DWR as a high-priority, critically overdrafted groundwater basin. Task 10.1. consists of site assessment work (well surveying), which will support future project work; this directly applies to the desired outcome of site assessment work as listed in the DACI Program RFP. Work under Task 10.1 will also provide technical information that will enable groundwater users and purveyors throughout the Merced Region to enhance groundwater management and maximize health of the groundwater aquifer. The Region’s agricultural industry, and in turn many of the DACs, rely on groundwater; thus, improved groundwater management has a positive impact on the regional economy and DACs. Merced Irrigation District can also use updated well data to help DACs in meeting potential Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) management actions required by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), such as moving water resources where they would be most needed. Task 10.1 Deliverables

• Report of survey activities and findings • Electronic database of survey results linked with the photographs

C-29

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions and focused outreach activities. (Note: the WSJ IRWMP is the Westside-San Joaquin IRWM Regions IRWM Plan.) Work under this task will be performed by Woodard & Curran, supported by Provost & Pritchard. Support DACs in Project Solicitation and Prioritization As required by Prop 1 IRWM Guidelines, Woodard & Curran will facilitate a call for projects for inclusion in the WSJ IRWMP. A broad stakeholder-based project solicitation will be conducted to solicit, score, rank, and evaluate projects in accordance with the process identified for the WSJ IRWMP Update and will assist in the project solicitation process to gather potential projects. Focused DAC outreach will occur via email and phone calls in order to encourage and support submittal of DAC projects to the WSJ IRWMP. Project solicitation will occur through a web-based format, referred to as Opti. Technical support will be provided to DACs during project solicitation and should DACs request additional need, Woodard & Curran can work with the DAC to submit the project on their behalf. Stakeholder/DAC Outreach Woodard & Curran will work with SLDMWA to update the stakeholder contact list compiled during preparation of the 2014 WSJ IRWMP with a focus on identifying representatives from DAC and underrepresented communities. Woodard & Curran will make necessary modifications to the list to ensure recent contact information for previously identified stakeholders and to identify new stakeholders that may be interested in participating or following the IRWMP Update process, with a focus on DACs and representatives for DACs. This will allow greater engagement in the IRWM process from communities that have historically been underrepresented during the process. The stakeholder contact list will be used to provide updates to a wide variety of interested parties about the IRWM planning process, WSJ IRWMP Update, public draft versions of the Plan or other materials, and upcoming grant solicitations. The Woodard & Curran team will also conduct two public workshops. In addition to conducting steering committee, RWMG, and public meetings, Woodard & Curran will perform focused outreach to DACs under this task (and coordinate these efforts with other regional planning programs) to help identify and address critical water supply, water quality, and wastewater needs for these communities. Woodard & Curran will conduct focused outreach calls to DAC contacts in order to inform them of the WSJ IRWMP update process, ways to participate in IRWM planning, and the opportunity to submit projects to the WSJ IRWMP. Individual, in-person DAC meetings will also be held if requested. Prepare DAC-Specific Text Under this task, relevant sections of the WSJ IRWMP will be updated to reflect the RWMG’s understanding of DAC status, needs, and involvement, and describe outreach work completed as part of Task 11.2. Woodard & Curran is under contract with SLDMWA to update the WSJ IRWMP (with Provost & Pritchard as a subconsultant). DAC-related updates will be focused in the following chapters: Governance; Project Solicitation and Prioritization; Financing; and Stakeholder Involvement. DAC-related updates will include information on regional coordination with DACs, funding for DAC projects, WSJ IRWMP projects, and stakeholder participation in WSJ IRWMP activities, including strategies to encourage DAC engagement, and identification of barriers to DAC participation. The support to DACs during project solicitation and prioritization, and the

C-30

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions stakeholder/DAC outreach conducted under Task 11.2 will be described in the WSJ IRWMP, as applicable. Task 11.2 Justification This task enhances DAC aspects in the Westside-San Joaquin IRIWM planning process by expanding the list of DAC contacts and encouraging and supporting DAC participation. Focused outreach will aid DACs in communicating their needs to the RWMG; additionally, outreach efforts will enable the RWMG to identify future project development work that would help meet DAC needs. This task will allow for thorough consideration of DACs in the WSJ IRWMP update. This in turn will directly support the RWMG’s understanding of DAC needs, which is a desired outcome of the projects funded by the DACI Program (as listed in Table 3 of the RFP). Based on a recent DAC analysis, 96% of the Westside- San Joaquin Region (by geographic area) are considered DACs; thus, any stakeholder outreach within the region, and any support in the IRWM planning process will support DACs. By leveraging grant funding for project solicitation, stakeholder/DAC outreach, and development of text for inclusion in the WIRWMP, the financial burden to DAC ratepayers will be minimized. Task 11.2 Deliverables • Draft and final project solicitation templates • List of DACs and Native American tribal communities, including contact information • DAC and tribal communities and a tracking spreadsheet • Notes on up to 10 focused outreach calls to DAC representatives Task 11.2 Key Milestones • Call for projects conducted • Focused outreach calls conducted • Up to two face-to-face meetings with DACs to discuss the IRWM planning process Task 11.3 – Prepare and Submit Prop 1 IRWM Implementation Grant Application SLDMWA has retained a consultant team including Woodard & Curran and Provost & Pritchard, to prepare a Prop 1 IRWM Implementation Grant Application on behalf of the Westside-San Joaquin Region. Woodard & Curran will work with SLDMWA, the region’s Regional Water Management Group, to select projects to include in the grant application, and to identify the grant applicant. For budgeting purposes, it was assumed two DAC projects would be included in the application. It is further assumed both projects included in the implementation grant application will benefit DACs within the WSJ region located within the SJRFA. Following identification of the proposed projects, Woodard & Curran will coordinate with SLDMWA to obtain the information required for the application attachments. Woodard & Curran will complete a draft application for review by SLDMWA and the project proponents. Based on comments received, the application will be finalized and submitted to DWR’s Grant Review and Tracking System (GRanTS). Task 11.3 Justification By focusing the Westside-San Joaquin Region’s Prop 1 Implementation Grant Application on DACs within the Westside Funding Area, DACs will receive the maximum benefit available from the Prop Implementation Grant. Inclusion of the application costs in this proposal will alleviate the burden on ratepayers in the Region, which is composed almost entirely of DACs, as shown in Figure B-2. This task will help direct resources and funding toward DAC needs. Further, the level of effort required to

C-31

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions prepare these types of grant applications is often cited as a barrier to DAC involvement in these funding opportunities. Task 11.3 will help eliminate that barrier. Task 11.3 Deliverables • Draft and final application • Upload the final application package to DWR’s GRanTS Task 11.3 Key Milestones • Projects identified for inclusion in application • Draft application prepared • Final application submitted to GRanTS

Project 13: SJRFA DAC Capacity Building

Lead Agency: CCWD (on behalf of East Contra Costa Region)

C-33

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

Partnering Agency: Regional Water Authority (on behalf of ARB Region), City of Modesto (on behalf of East Stanislaus Region), San Joaquin County (on behalf of Eastern San Joaquin Region), Madera Irrigation District (on behalf of Madera Region), Merced Irrigation District (on behalf of Merced Region), SLDMWA (on behalf of Westside-San Joaquin Region). Consultants: TBD Additional SJRFA-wide outreach and capacity building activities will occur under Project 13 with a focus on those additional needs identified during the Needs Assessment (Project 2). Task 13.1 – Community Outreach/Capacity Building This task will include community outreach to develop relationships with DACs and capacity building to increase DACs’ ability to engage with water management activities in their area. Oftentimes DACs have limited staff availability or are represented by individuals on a volunteer basis that have other full-time jobs. This can make it difficult for DACs to participate in water resources planning, including IRWM planning. Focused community outreach will be identified through the Needs Assessment and will occur through contracted consultant staff and/or IRWM representatives visiting communities at appropriate time and venues, such as at existing board meetings. This task will also include the development of outreach materials, such as brochures, that explain IRWM planning or other topics as applicable. The goal of the outreach process is to provide DACs with information about the IRWM planning process and opportunities to participate. Further, this project aims to increase participation in the IRWM process by informing and engaging DACs. Building on the community outreach component, the consultant team will work to build capacity in DACs. This work is conducted with the goal of enabling DACs to engage more fully with water management activities, and may include (as deemed appropriate based on the Needs Assessment) hosting a workshop to connect DAC representatives and IRWM representatives to share information and develop and maintain effective upstream/downstream communication. Capacity building efforts may include focused workshops where DACs and Region representatives identify needs, review existing information, identify resources, and develop solutions. Other work may include development of coordination agreements to support DACs in representing their needs during the IRWM planning process. Developing a sense of community ownership will likely result in greater DAC involvement as projects are conceived and implemented. Task 13.1 Justification This task will support community engagement and participation in IRWM planning and project development work by building relationships with individual DAC members and by helping DACs increase their capacity to engage with the IRWM process, as well as other planning processes (e.g. the Sustainable Groundwater Management Planning Act [SGMA]). These goals directly support the desired outcomes listed in Table 3 of the DACI RFP. Task 13.1 Deliverables • Meeting agendas, sign-in sheets, and notes • Outreach materials Task 13.1 Key Milestones • Communication with DAC members

• DAC engagement in IRWM process Task 13.2 – Small Community Toolbox A Small Community Toolbox will be created (based on the successful program implemented by the North Coast Resource Partnership). The Toolbox will facilitate small utilities projects including project development, funding, implementation, and system operation and maintenance. The Toolbox aims to provide small utilities with a central repository for resources related to these projects. The Toolbox will include items such as documents, maps, and web links. More specifically, the Toolbox could contain resources to assist with items such as the following:

• Navigating funding programs • Cost estimating • Permitting • CEQA/NEPA exemptions and checklists • Rate setting • Capital Improvement Planning • Community networking The web-based Toolbox will be focused on resources that will be the most useful to small utilities within the SJRFA, which will likely be identified during the Needs Assessment. For example, greater emphasis could be placed on resources relating to securing funding, if this is noted as a particular need throughout the SJRFA. If desired, the Toolbox can also be updated in the future, making it a living resource. Task 13.2 Justification The Toolbox will support community staff as they engage in local planning, decision-making, and outreach, thereby meeting a desired outcome of the DACI Program as outlined in Table 3 of the RFP. The Toolbox will streamline information-sharing among multiple stakeholders in the SJRFA and enable greater self-sufficiency for utilities and communities. Task 13.2 Deliverables • Small Community Toolbox resources and website link Task 13.2 Key Milestones • Identification of Toolbox focus areas • Ease of access to technical resources Task 13.3 – Focused Assessments Through this task, individualized Needs Assessments will be completed for up to seven additional DAC water systems or locations in the SJRFA. Although prior needs assessments have been conducted within the SJRFA, opportunities still exist to identify DAC needs throughout the SJRFA, including in areas that are not represented by an IRWM Region, or to drill down into more detail on previously identified DAC issues. Focused assessments will examine capacity and quality of service in water supply, wastewater, and/or flood control systems. Assessments will include outreach to small utility providers. Additionally, workshops will be held to determine community needs and priorities.

C-35

San Joaquin River Funding Area DAC Involvement Grant Proposal Attachment C: Project Descriptions

Surveys may also be conducted to inform future projects such as capacity-building. Focused assessments will be completed by the contracted consultant team. Task 13.3 Justification This work will enable the SJRFA to further recognize and address the individual and SJRFA-wide needs of DACs as well as report these needs to the State, which aids in achieving the desired outcome of the Needs Assessment identified in the RFP. This task will also further partnerships and collaboration within the SJRFA, thus increasing capacity. Task 13.3 Deliverables • Individual focused needs assessment reports Task 13.3 Key Milestones • Completion of desired number (up to seven) of needs assessments in the SJRFA • Completion of community workshops Task 13.4 – Workshops, Training, and Education This task will provide learning opportunities for DACs. This task will include training meetings, as well as the development of educational materials (translated, if necessary), workshop curricula, and education meeting agendas. Materials may also include educational videos, which would be developed under this task. At least seven meetings will be held throughout the SJRFA, with specific attention paid to making these meetings accessible to DACs (in location and timing). Educational tours may also be conducted. Workshops and materials developed under this task may address topics such as IRWM Planning, funding opportunities, water conservation, water quality, wastewater, and groundwater sustainability management. Workshops, training materials, and educational materials will be planned in detail based on the findings of the Needs Assessment conducted under Task 2. Task 13.4 Justification One of the desired outcomes of the DACI Program is for community members to better understand the water management needs of their community. This task directly supports this goal by providing training and education on water issues for DACs in the SJRFA. Task 13.4 Deliverables • Workshop and training materials • Meeting agendas, sign-in sheets, and notes • Curricula Task 13.4 Key Milestones • Increased community knowledge and awareness
