4 MONTECITO JOURNAL • The Voice of the Village • 27 March – 3 April 2014 Drought Defense by Bob Hazard

Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club Is Desalination the Right Choice for Montecito? (Part II) ast week, we looked at cost considerations and technological advances that make desalination a viable source of reliable water in drought-prone California. To continue the evaluation of desalination as a source of water forL Montecito, it is useful to investigate the desal experiences of others. For clarification on the following use of Acre Feet (AF), you should know that one AF of water (enough water to cover one acre with water 12 inches in depth) equals 325,851 gallons. In Santa Barbara, average usage is 130 gallons a day or 3,900 gallons of water per month. In Montecito, with its lush foliage and larger lots, the average is closer to 290 gallons per day or 8,700 gallons a month. So, on that basis, an AF of water should supply about 37 Montecito households per month. You can take it from there. Need Water? Check with the Israelis Without rainfall or significant groundwater, Israel has had to rely on reducing the cost of separating salt from seawater. In the last 10 years, Israel has transformed itself from a parched desert into a land of water surplus. The first major desalination plant opened in Israel in Ashkelon in 2005. It was a 50-50 joint venture between IDE (Israel Chemicals and the Delek Group) and France’s Veolia Group. Since then, three more desal plants have come online and more are planned. Today, desal plants in Israel produce 600 million cubic meters of water per year (486,400 AF), or more than half of Israel’s total freshwater needs. In addition, Israel treats and recycles more than 80% of household wastewater, the highest recapture rate in the world. It has also developed computerized leak detection systems and sophisticated drip irrigation. An estimated 25 to 30% of the world’s water production is wasted because of leaks in distribution, according to TaKaDu, an Israeli company that developed the technology that minimizes leaking. California Experience In areas of low regulatory and reasonable permitting costs – such as South Padre Island in Texas and Tampa, Florida – costs of desalinated water are estimated to be as low as $700 to $1,400 per AF. In California, with expensive Building energy costs and higher regulatory barriers, desalinated seawater costs climb to at least $1,500 per AF. Peace of There are some 17 desalination plants either open or proposed along the California coast, including the currently mothballed Santa Barbara desalination plant that we explored last week. Here are some of the more significant California coastal desalination projects: City of Oxnard Mind Oxnard, just south of Ventura on the 101, is a city of 200,000 residents. The area is famed for its avocados, strawberries, and lima beans. Normally, 50% of Oxnard water is supplied by the State Water Project from Northern California, 25% from regional groundwater, and 25% from local groundwater. Lately, state water has become unreliable in a time of drought, and well water is at risk from seawater pollution as aquifers are depleted by excessive use. It is rather embarrassing that the City of Oxnard has had the foresight, the intelligence, the will, and the wallet to use desalination to turn brackish well water into potable drinking water, and recycled wastewater into irrigation water, while Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria, Goleta, and Santa Barbara keep hoping for the proverbial 40 days and 40 nights of needed rain. The Oxnard desalination effort, known as GREAT (Groundwater Recovery Enhancement And Treatment) was launched in 1999 and opened in 2008. It encompasses multiple water strategies including conservation, reduced reli- ance on imported supplies, brackish groundwater desalination, wastewater recycling, groundwater injection, and restoration of local wetlands. Initially funded by a $20-million federal grant, Oxnard’s state-of-the-art water desalination plant has used a mix of federal, state, and local funding to open its cavernous building on a water campus that fills one city block. Groundwater Visit Our Website GIFFIN & CRANE GiffinAndCrane.com from brackish wells is pumped through reverse-osmosis (RO) filters to produce GENERAL CONTRACTORS, INC. 7.5 million gallons a day (8,400 AF per year) of desalinated drinking water. As (805) 966-6401 > License 611341 more racks of RO filters are added, plant capacity can be expanded to 15 million gallons per day (producing 16,800 AF per year), if and when necessary. A W B S .

My friend ALOHA DAYS pointed out some interesting and well-founded reasons for the preservation of this historic structure that was built in 1830, has been a land- marked site since 1994, and is listed as Santa Barbara County Landmark #34. What my friend brought to light is that the current owners of the property wish to demolish the existing structure and fabricate a replica. So I decided to take the short walk down San Ysidro and have a look at the property myself, which is adjacent to the parking area for Upper Manning Park.

The Morro Bay desalination plant first opened in 1995.

The Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project desalination plant, with its slant-intake wells, will be sized at 10,750 AF per year (9.6 million gallons per day) and is expected to be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2018. A new advanced wastewater treatment plant will also be constructed as part of the water mix. Privately owned California American Water has selected CDM Contractors, a subsidiary of CDM Smith, which has experience with 35 international desalination projects, including seven in California, to design and build the $320 million Monterey Peninsula water-supply project, including the $86 million desal plant. Bay Area Plant A desal plant near Concord, in the East Bay area of San Francisco, will serve every major water agency in the Bay area. It is tentatively targeted to open in 2020 to produce 22,500 AF (20 million gallons per day) of potable water. The plant will sit in Millard Slough outside Bay Point and draw delta water flowing into Suisun Bay. So far, a consortium of water agencies has spent $2.5 million in mostly state grant money on the development of the desal plant plan. Carlsbad Project A desalination plant in Carlsbad, 35 miles north of San Diego, is being built to supply San Diego County with some 56,000 AF of water per year (50 million gallons per day). When fully operational in 2016, it will become the largest seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. Poseidon Resources Corporation, a privately held company based in Stamford, Connecticut, began talks with water agencies in San Diego County in 1998. The $954 million cost is being financed with $781 million in tax-exempt construction bonds, with the balance coming from private investors who anticipate a return of 12-13%. The project is creating 2,300 jobs during construction by Kiewit Infrastructure West and J. F. Shea Construction, and will support 575 jobs in ongoing operations, according to the Carlsbad operator, IDE Technologies, which has designed, built, and currently operates some of the world’s largest desalination and water treatment facilities. San Diego County water agencies negotiated 30-year water purchase

Poseidon bears the burden of financing, construction and operating the plant; the Water Authority does not pay for any water not delivered, a distinct advantage over the open-ended capital cost exposure from cost overruns on the coastal branch of the State Water Project, and its budget-breaking companion, Governor Jerry Brown’s proposed Twin Tunnel Project. Huntington Beach Desalination The Huntington Beach Desalination Project is a $900-million privately owned 56,000 AF ( 50 million gallon per day) Poseidon facility located in Orange County adjacent to the AES Huntington Beach Power Station. Seawater will be converted into fresh water to sell to water districts to supplement or replace groundwater. In 2009, Poseidon signed non-binding agreements with more than a dozen Orange County water districts to buy desalinated water at a cost of $1,500 per AF, plus another $90 to $140 per AF for conveyance and delivery, according to the Surfrider Foundation. In November 2013, the California Coastal Commission, despite plant approv- Diana Paradise al from the Huntington Beach City Council, rejected Poseidon’s bid to obtain PO Box 30040, Santa Barbara, CA 93130 Coastal Commission permits on the project based on environmental concerns Email: [email protected] Portfolio Pages: www.DianaParadise.com regarding the intake system design. Poseidon withdrew its request and has Prices start at $3200 for a 24”x36” oil portrait of one person. gone back to the drawing board to reassess lengthening its 15-year permit process to address its intake and discharge systems. A Call to Action The Montecito Water District faces a shortage of both drinking water and landscaping irrigation water. Its board has become a champion for an expedited reactivation of the already permitted City of Santa Barbara desalination plant, which the city sees as unnecessary at this time. The city desal plant was built in 1992 in nine months; now the city intends to take two years for a pre-construction engineering analysis to supplement the one completed in 2009. The city’s “no urgency” strategy is risky and reckless. What’s needed is to fast-track the re-opening of the Santa Barbara desal facility. Simultaneously, the city needs to include Montecito in its efforts to jointly fund and obtain state and federal grants to upgrade its recycled wastewater system, while Relax adding reclamation water for landscaping irrigation to Montecito’s mix of options. Mayor Helene Schneider, Lois Capps, Hannah-Beth Jackson, Das Williams, Salud Carbajal, Janet Wolf, and Doreen Farr: We urge you, as our elected offi- your cials, to demand that our water districts abandon their local parochialism and work together to do what others have already done: forge alliances for regional cooperation and enlist federal, state, and county funding support for an inno- feet vative regional solution to our collective water woes. To do less is simply myopic madness! •MJ Inspired by top interior designers, Rugs & More’s vast inventory features Fresh Local Cuisine rugs from The Four Seasons Biltmore Collection.
