NO: P2451- DIV. NO. ALL Engineering Manager 001101 APPROVED BY: Rod Posada, Chief, Engineering Mark Watton, General Manager SUBJECT: Informational Update for the Rosarito Desalination Plant and the Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System Projects GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation. This is an informational item only. COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see Attachment A. PURPOSE: To update the Otay Water District (District) Desalination Committee (Committee) on the progress of the Rosarito Desalination Plant and the Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System Projects (Project)(see Exhibit A for Project location). ANALYSIS: This item was last presented to the Committee as an update at a meeting held on May 23, 2017. The updates or significant milestones that have been reached since the last update to the Committee include: Project Direction Aguas de Rosarito (AdR), a private consortium, signed a 40-year definitive public-private partnership agreement with the State of Baja California (State) on August 25, 2016 to build a desalination plant and conveyance pipeline (Project) and operate it for 37 years. This would be one of the first water projects delivered under the State’s Asociaciones Público Privadas (APP) law. The companies that make up AdR are NuWater of Singapore, Suez Environment of France, and a Mexican company called N.S.C. Agua (NSCA) that is a subsidiary of Cayman-Islands based Consolidated Water (CWCO). The project is stalled at the State of Baja California legislature after several failed attempts to pass a consent decree authorizing the State government to provide financial backup using the pension funds. This is mainly a political issue that AdR hopes to resolve before the end of the legislative session that is scheduled to end mid-December 2017. If the consent decree is not passed during this legislative year, it might have to wait until 2020, after the 2018 presidential elections in Mexico and the 2019 election for Governor for the State of Baja California. The US administration has made several statements about NAFTA, trade, and border wall that has inflamed the situation and provoked a reaction in the Baja California State legislature stalling the consent decree. Rosarito Desalination Project in the News The end of the drought and desalination projects are subjects in the national, state, and local news as well as in Mexico in the State of Baja California. Projects that provide a new supply of water have been mentioned on both sides of the border including the Rosarito Beach Desalination Project. On May 22, 2017, the Water Desalination Report article entitled, “President Approves SWRO Pipeline Permit” about the Presidential Permit granted to the District. The report also noted the permit might signal that the second phase of the project could be accelerated (see Exhibit B). On June 19, 2017, the San Diego Union Tribune published an article entitled, “Could desalinated water from Mexico flow to San Diego?” on the U.S. State Department approval of a cross- border pipeline that could one day carry desalinated water from Mexico to the District (see Exhibit C). The article quotes Cesar Romero Sauceda, head of Tijuana’s Chamber of Construction Industry, “that water has always been a barrier for Tijuana’s growth.” 2 Another article on June 19, 2017 in WaterWorld entitled, “Mexico – U.S. Cross-Border Desal Project Moves Forward” on the U.S. State Department approval of the cross-border pipeline (see Exhibit D). On June 21, 2017, Breitbart published an article entitled, “California May Import Water from Mexico Desalination Plant” about the Project and the State Department’s approval of the permit for the water line on May 16, 2017 (see Exhibit E). On June 23, 2017 an article in NewsDeeply Water Deeply entitled, “Crucial Permit Moves San Diego Closer to Tapping Mexican Desal” about the Project and the District having been granted a Presidential Permit by the U.S. State Department (see Exhibit F). On September 23, 2017, an article in La Jornada Baja California entitled, “Documentos oficiales confirman Proyecto binacional; Kiko Vega lo niega” about official documents confirming that the Rosarito Desal Project is a Binational project. However, B.C. Governor Kiko Vega denies it (see Exhibit G). On September 29, 2017, an article in Fronterra entitled, “Costaran desaladoras de Ensenada y Rosarito mas de 81 mil millones” about the cost for the desal projects in Ensenada and Rosarito, the shortage of water in the region, and the opposition to the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) law (see Exhibit H). On September 29, 2017, an article in ZetaTijuana entitled, “Aprobarán endeudamiento de "Kiko" por 83 mil mdp” about the potential for approval of the use of the pension funds to back up the financing of the project. However, there is opposition from some legislators (see Exhibit I). On November 27, 2017, the San Diego Union Tribune published an article entitled, “Giant Rosarito Beach desalination project faces scrutiny” about the project facing the “scrutiny at a politically sensitive moment. The touchiest public issue is the question of whether some of that water would be sold to the Otay Water District in San Diego County.” The article notes a no vote by the Baja California’s legislature would delay the desalination plant and put on hold eight other public-private- partnership projects (see Exhibit J). 3 Contract with AECOM AECOM continues to finalize their work on the environmental tasks. Staff expects to terminate its contract with AECOM after compiling all of the reports and documents for the federal record with the State Department. All the pending work is expected to be completed by December 2017. Division of Drinking Water (DDW) Permitting (formerly CDPH) On November 15, 2017, the District notified DDW that after three years of source water testing at the power plant intake and outlet structures, AdR will suspend further routine testing and focus on the financial close of Phase 1 of the two phase Project. The results are posted with DDW. Staff and representatives from AdR continue to coordinate on complying with the California Water Resources Control Board Drinking Water Program regulatory requirements related to source water quality testing. Presidential Permit The Department of State issued a Presidential permit to the Otay Water District (the District) on May 16, 2017, authorizing the District to construct, connect, operate, and maintain cross- border water pipeline facilities for the importation of desalinated seawater at the international boundary between the United States and Mexico in San Diego County, California. In making this determination, the Department provided public notice of the proposed permit, offered the opportunity for comment, and consulted with other federal agencies, as required by Executive Order 11423, as amended. This was published in the Federal Register on June 6, 2017 (see Exhibit K). With this approval it is expected Mexico’s federal agencies may need to issue a similar permit to bring symmetry into the approval of a cross border pipeline with the International Boundary and Water Commission, and their counterpart in Mexico, Comisión Internacional de Límites y Agua (IBWC/CILA) as the agencies to administer the transportation of water across the border and to protect the District from local interference in the delivery of desalinated water. IBWC/CILA currently fill this role for the existing pipeline border crossing south of Alta Road that transport Mexico water from Mexico’s allotment from the Colorado River. 4 FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer No fiscal impact as this is an informational item only.

(RECON). The project site is located in the urbanized floodplain of Alvarado Creek in the City of La Mesa (Figure 1). The entire project area has been disturbed by urbanization to varying degrees. No previously recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources are within or immediately adjacent to the project. The San Diego RV Resort was constructed sometime between 1953 and 1964 as a mobile home park and is over 50 years old. As such, it is potentially eligible for inclusion on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). 1.0 Introduction The project is located on the south side of Interstate 8, approximately 1,500 feet east of 70th Street/Lake Murray Boulevard and approximately 1,000 feet west of the Interstate 8/Fletcher Parkway intersection. Alvarado Creek runs immediately on the southern boundary of the western portion of the project, then turns north, dividing the project area into two pieces. The western portion is approximately twice the size of the eastern portion. The project is in an unsectioned portion of the Mission San Diego land grant, Township 16 South, Range 2 West, on the 7.5-minute U.S.

  • Potable Water & Wastewater Master Plan for Tijuana and Playas De
    Section 3 Assessment of Current Conditions 3.1 Water Resources The cities of Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito currently obtain water from two primary water resources: surface water from the Colorado River and ground water coming from several aquifers, such as Tijuana, La Misión and Rosarito (see Figure 2-1). Table 3-1 shows the water production from the main supply sources for the year 2001. Table 3-1 Average Annual Water Production for 2001 Source l/s El Carrizo Reservoir 3,133 Abelardo L. Rodríguez Reservoir 38 Río Tijuana Wells 73 La Misión Wells 51 Rosarito Wells 22 Total 3,317 Source: Subdirección de operación y mantenimiento, Potable Water Department, CESPT 2001. Occasionally, rainwater is stored in both reservoirs to supply Tijuana. However, this is not a reliable source of water due to the unpredictability of rain in the area. This will be discussed later in subsection 3.1.1. 3.1.1 Condition and Capacity To resolve the problem of a lack of surface water from rain and the limited amount that can be extracted from the existing aquifers in the region through deep wells, the State Government, assisted by the Federal Government, has taken the following important actions: The construction of the Abelardo L. Rodríguez Reservoir in 1937. The construction of wells and a conveyance line in 1963 in La Misión, located approximately 37 miles (60 km) south of the City of Tijuana. The construction of the Colorado River-Tijuana Aqueduct in the 1980s. The Colorado River: Main Supply Source The International Water Treaty with the United States of Feb.

EPA policy for use of border funds requires evaluation and certification of projects by the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) as a condition for grant award. As part of the BECC certification process, the proposed project must comply with (1) Mexican environmental regulations and (2) the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EPA requires compliance with NEPA before BEIF funds can be authorized. Projects within 62 miles (mi) (100 kilometers [km]) of the U.S./Mexico border are eligible for BEIF assistance. In accordance with the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 6) as guidance, this Environmental Assessment (EA) documents the environmental consequences in the U.S. of the proposed federal action. The purpose of this document is to comply with NEPA documentation requirements for the proposed federal action under consideration.
