GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT In addition to the written report included in the Board’s agenda packet, General Manager Roland Sanford briefly discussed the status of the Phase II Dixon drainage study, noting that a consultant contract for the Phase II study being prepared by staff, and will be available for Board consideration at the February Board meeting.

SOLANO WATER ADVISORY COMMISSION Felix Risenberg, Assistant Public Works Director for the City of Fairfield and Chair of the Solano Water Advisory Commission, introduced Kyle Ochenduszko, Assistant Public Works Director for the City of Benicia and the new Chair of the Solano Water Advisory Commission. Mr. Ochenduszko introduced himself to the Board of Directors and acknowledged Mr. Risenberg’s leadership - nine years as the Chair of the Solano Water Advisory Commission.

SOLANO HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN UPDATE

Principal Water Resources Specialist Chris Lee provided the Board with a lengthy overview and update of the Solano Habitat Conservation Plan (Solano HCP). Preparation of the Solano HCP is required pursuant to the 1999 water supply contract between the Water Agency and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The primary purpose of the Solano HCP is to provide incidental take coverage for selected endangered species, pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act (Because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded that execution of the 1999 water supply contract could result in the “taking” of endangered species, incidental take permit coverage, in this case in the form of a Habitat Conservation Plan, was included as a required term of the contract). Mr. Lee explained that the Solano HCP and supporting documents are nearing completion, and that it is anticipated plan implementation will begin in late 2020 or early 2021. Key “takeaways” from Mr. Lee’s presentation, which began with a short video, were as follows:

There are 13 Solano HCP Participants

o Solano Project Members (required pursuant to 1999 water supply contract)

SCWA, City of Fairfield, City of Vacaville, City of Vallejo, Suisun City, Maine Prairie Water District, Solano Irrigation District

o Volunteer Members

City of Dixon, City of Rio Vista, Dixon Resource Conservation District, Reclamation District 2068, Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District, Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District

Solano HCP encompasses all of Solano County and assumes 17,500 acres of urban development over the 30-year term of the plan.

Implementation of the Solano HCP would involve the preservation of up to 27,000 acres of land for habitat mitigation purposes.

Solano HCP addresses 37 Covered Species and 36 Special Management Species (CEQA Compliance Species)

Activities covered by the Solano HCP include new development and new facilities; operations and maintenance activities; habitat monitoring, management, enhancement and creation.

Solano HCP will streamline permitting for urban development while at the same time promote long-term conservation of species and habitats

Solano HCP shifts species conservation focus from single-species/small habitat preserves to more cost effective and biologically superior multi-species/large habitat preserves

The Water Agency is also working on a parallel permit program to secure a Regional General Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a Programmatic Water Quality Certification from the State Water Resources Control Board, and Master Streambed Alteration Agreements from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife

Mr. Lee responded to various Board member questions at the conclusion of his presentation and requested Board member feedback on the need for and type of outreach efforts prior to and during Solano HCP implementation. He referenced a draft outreach scope of work prepared by Wilson Public Affairs that was included in the Board meeting agenda packet and characterized the draft outreach scope of work as a “Cadillac version” that was probably more extensive than necessary.

SCWA Board Meeting Minutes – January 9, 2020 Page 3 Mayor Patterson and Supervisor Spering recommended that staff conduct three or four workshops in lieu of individual meetings with participating organizations, with either an elected official such as a city mayor or an organization such as a city chamber of commerce hosting each workshop. Supervisor Spering noted that correctly identifying the target audience is a prerequisite of any successful outreach effort and that in the case of the Solano HCP, the target audience may not necessarily be the general public. Mayor Patterson followed Supervisor Spering’s observation with a recommendation that the outreach effort target the Solano Relator’s Association. Supervisor Brown expressed her appreciation for the short video Mr. Lee showed at the onset of his presentation and recommended that additional short videos, targeted toward specific audiences, be prepared as a part of the Solano HCP outreach effort. At the conclusion of the outreach discussion General Manager Roland Sanford stated that staff in conjunction with Wilson Public Affairs would prepare, based on the Board comments received, a refined Solano HCP outreach scope of work for discussion at a subsequent Board meeting.

APPOINTMENT OF LEGISLATIVE AND WATER POLICY COMMITTEES FOR 2020

Mayor Kott assigned the following Board members to the 2020 Legislative and Water Policy Committees respectively:

2020 Legislative Committee Chair-Mayor Kott Director Crossley

Supervisor Skip Thomson Mayor Patterson Director Kluge

2020 Water Policy Committee

Chair-Supervisor Vasquez Mayor Wilson

Mayor Patterson Director Crossley

Director Kluge General Manager Roland Sanford commented that in addition to Board members, each committee includes a member of the Solano Advisory Commission, and that the Solano Advisory Commission would be making their respective committee appointments in the near future

LEGISLATIVE UPDATES

Mayor Kott stated that the Legislative Committee did not meet earlier this month and therefore there was no committee report. General Manager Roland Sanford then introduced Bob Reeb of Reeb Government Relations, LLC – the newly retained legislative advocate for the Water Agency. Mr. Reeb provided a brief overview of his background and the services he anticipates providing. Supervisor Spering commented that with respect to our legislators, we need to frame the conversation in a way that emphasizes what the Water Agency’s constituents need, rather than the Water Agency.

WATER POLICY UPDATES

1. Staff had nothing to report on emerging Delta and Water Policy issues. 2. Chair of the Water Policy Committee had nothing to report as the committee did not meet last month. 3. There was nothing to report on the activities of the Delta Counties Coalition. 4. Mayor Patterson reported that North Bay Watershed meetings have been informative and that an

annual meeting/conference will take place in April, in Petaluma.

and acquisition of property for Lake Berryessa Mussel Inspection & Decontamination Station ___________________________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Authorize General Manager to execute $30,000 contract amendment with Terra Realty Advisors, Inc. for realty services in support of SCWA office expansion and acquisition of property for Lake Berryessa Mussel Inspection and Decontamination Station. FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Increases contract amount by $30,000; from $40,000 to $70,000. Funding for the additional realty service support is included in the FY 2019-2020. BACKGROUND:

TRA is assisting the Water Agency with the purchase of additional office space at the Water Agency’s Vacaville office. Since moving to the current office location in 2010, the Water Agency has added seven full time staff and at times employed over 30 seasonal interns. Currently, a portion of the Water Agency staff and interns are temporarily residing in the Solano Irrigation District’s (SID) office space. The adjacent, currently vacant floor space to the west of the Water Agency office is now owned by SID (SID recently obtained the vacant office space from Buzz Oats). Water Agency and SID staff has had preliminary discussions, and there is mutual interest in developing a purchase agreement whereby the Water Agency would acquire some portion of the vacant space. TRA will assist Water Agency staff with the formulation and review of various purchase options, and ultimately, preparation of a draft purchase agreement for Board consideration. Separately and as previously directed by the Board, staff is investigating potential locations for a permanent Lake Berryessa mussel inspection and decontamination station. As a part of the proposed contract amendment, TRA will assist Water Agency staff with the formulation and review of various purchase options, and ultimately, preparation of a draft agreement for Board consideration.

A.HistoryThe Agency was formed in 1951 by an act of the State Legislature as the "Solano County Flood Control and Water Conservation District". The full text of the legislative act, as amended, is in the California Water Code Appendix Chapter 64 entitled the "Solano County Water Agency Act".

As originally established, the Board of Supervisors of Solano County was the governing board (ex-officio) of the Solano County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SCFC&WCD). As with other countywide flood control and water conservation districts established about that same time, the SCFC&WCD was given water supply and flood control authorities. The first major action of the SCFC&WCD was to contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for water supply from the Solano Project.

In 1988, the legislative act was changed to modify the governing board of the SCFC&WCD and to make other minor updates to the act. In 1989 the name of SCFC&WCD was changed to the "Solano County Water Agency" (SCWA).

The change in the governing board of SCWA was very significant. In addition to the five members of the Board of Supervisors, the mayors from all seven cities in the County as well as a board member from each of the three agricultural irrigation districts (Solano Irrigation District, Maine Prairie Water District and Reclamation District No. 2068) were added. The three agricultural districts were added because those districts provide retail water service to their constituents. During the 1988-89 time period, the governing board made a decision to hire a staff independent of the County.

Solano Project: Map 1 shows Solano Project facilities. The main facilities are Monticello Dam, Putah Diversion Dam, Putah South Canal (PSC) and Terminal Reservoir. Flow from the Solano Project is measured at the outlet of Monticello Dam and at the entrance of the PSC at the Putah Diversion. Flow measuring devices are also located along PSC and at all turnouts on the Canal. The Putah South Canal is a 33 mile long, concrete lined channel with a maximum capacity of 956 cubic feet per second. Details of the Solano Project facilities are shown below.

Lake Solano, which is impounded by the Putah Diversion Dam, provides some regulation storage. The only other regulatory storage is at Terminal Reservoir at the end of PSC. The PSC has checks that can be used to regulate storage along the canal to a limited extent. Customers of the Solano Project (all public agencies, no retail) must schedule their request for deliveries in advance.

State Water Project: SCWA also receives a water supply from the State Water Project through the North Bay Aqueduct. The North Bay Aqueduct is owned and operated by the California Department of Water Resources. The North Bay Aqueduct through Solano County is 27 miles of underground pipeline shown in Map 2. The size of the underground pipeline varies from 72 inches at Barker Slough to 54 inches at Cordelia Forebay. Flows are measured at the Barker Slough Pumping Plant and at the turnouts along the North Bay Aqueduct for city water treatment plants. Water deliveries are scheduled in advance by SCWA with the Department of Water Resources.

C.TopographyandSoils

1.Describetopographyofthedistrict.Solano County is located within the southern portion of the Sacramento Valley and is one of the nine counties that constitute the San Francisco Bay Area Region. Solano County, despite its modest size, lies at the intersection of numerous geographical and geological provinces that, in conjunction with variations in hydrology and climate, has resulted in the formation of unique and rare biological and ecological conditions. The following provides a brief description of the major geographical provinces of the County using a modified classification scheme utilized by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the Soil Survey of Solano County (Bates et al. 1977). Each major division contains important ecological subdivisions. Coast Range Uplands and Foothill Terraces The most prominent topographic features of the county are the mountains and hills that form the western boundary of the County. These features include the Vaca Mountains, West Hills and the Sulphur Spring Mountain range in the Tri-City/County Planning Area. The Vaca Mountains and other hills are part of the Coastal Ranges and form a strip of extremely steep slopes along the western border of the county that possesses a wide range in elevation, bedrock composition, and climate. Mt. Vaca is the highest point in the range at an elevation of 2,819 feet. Bedrock is dominated by Cretaceous marine sedimentary units, with smaller inclusions of Tertiary sedimentary and basic igneous rocks. These units form ridges with intervening narrow valleys that trend in a northwestern direction. Vegetation, which varies with precipitation, contains grassland, oak savanna, oak woodland, and dense chaparral shrubland. Montezuma Hills and Potrero Hills While this region, which conspicuously dominates the southeastern portion of the County, might be considered as just another upland component, several factors warrant a separate discussion of its characteristics. The elevation of this area ranges from approximately 25 to 350 feet, and annual precipitation is between 15 and 23 inches. The most distinguishing feature is the bedrock composition: poorly sorted sandy clay sediments of the Quaternary Montezuma formation. This bedrock weathers into clay soils with an exceedingly high clay content called Vertisols. The clay is dominated by the mineral Smectite. The high clay content in combination with smectite results in a high shrink/swell characteristic and deep cracking, to 50 cm or more, of the soils. The shrink/swell causes fence and utility poles to be extruded from the soils and become oriented at an

angle less than vertical. Roads become rough and rolling because of the movement of the soils. This region, because of the soils, is primarily used for dryland farming and grazing, and was likely perennial grassland, with oaks in higher elevations, in pre-agricultural conditions. Alluvial Fans, Terraces, and Basins This province comprises a significant portion of Solano County and exhibits considerable variability related to local geological and soil characteristics and associated drainage patterns. This province is also the area that comprises most of the valley floor and is the region of the County that has been most altered from the natural conditions by agriculture and urban development. Several distinct sub-regions and associated habitats are described below: Well drained to poorly drained recent alluvial fans and basin deposits. This region, lying in the northeastern quarter of the County, comprises the heart of the agricultural development of the county. This area of the County is often referred to as the Dixon Ridge region. The sediment consists of loams/silt loams to clays derived from streams draining the Coast Range. Soils are young, lack restrictive horizons, and are amenable to irrigated agricultural development, though drainage or levee systems have been required in the lower basin margin, and basin proper, positions of the landscape. These landscapes generally dip downward in a westerly to easterly direction, and the lands to the east of highway 113 were (prior to channelization) frequently flooded by the Sacramento River. Dense oak forests reportedly once covered the plains along the major streams (such as Putah Creek) and their fans, with high fans and terraces having more open stands of grass and oaks. Lower lying basin deposits supported tules, reeds, and other water-tolerant plants. Well to somewhat poorly drained terraces. With exceptions, this region consists of geologically older alluvial fan deposits that have been incised by streams and are now marginally elevated above the major drainage systems of the region (and the younger deposits described above). The age of the landscapes (Pleistocene) combined with hydrological differences, has resulted in two (in a broad-brush division) distinct divisions of ecological significance:

Poorly drained, somewhat acidic, clay pan landscapes. This area lies mainly north of Vacaville. The dense subsurface “clay pan” (formed by long expanses of soil formation and clay development) restrict water penetration and create seasonally-perched water tables. This area is dominated primarily by grassland habitats and includes mixes of Northern Hardpan and Northern Claypan vernal pool habitat types.

Well to somewhat poorly drained, alkaline landscapes. This area lies mainly to the

north and northwest of the Montezuma Hills and includes much of the region from northern Vacaville, through the Jepson Prairie to the Potrero Hills and over into Fairfield/Suisun. These landscapes, due to their proximity to shallow ground water from the Delta (to the east) or the Suisun Bay (to the south) have experienced long-term evaporative loss of this water and the subsequent accumulation of dissolved salts. Salt types in the soils are separated by solubility and the generally upward water flow patterns (modified by the downward flow of fresh rainwater). As a result, soils contain significant amount of sodium bicarbinate (NaHCO3) and other salts leading to high

Solano County Water Agency 2017 5-year Water Management Plan___________________

pg. 12

(alkaline) pHs (>8.3) in some soil horizons (not necessarily at the surface), and sometimes have high salinities (total salt content). Most of these soils have a clay-enriched subsoil (or clay pan) that restricts water movement.

Much of this area is considered too poor to support agricultural crops. While this land has not been as intensively developed for agriculture due to the combined problems of salinity, alkalinity, and clay pans, this region is important for extensive agricultural operations, primarily sheep and cattle grazing. The values associated with this economic use has helped maintain much of the vernal pool habitats remaining in this region. Delta Marshlands This area, which lies roughly to the north and northeast of Rio Vista, contains a part of the prominent Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Prior to human disturbance, this was a freshwater marshland dominated by river distributary channels and dense “tule” vegetation. The dense vegetation, combined with slow base level (sea level) rise, led to the accumulation in parts of the area of thick peat deposits (only small parts of the Solano County Delta have peat soils), and in the predominantly mineral-rich lands that dominate the fringe of the Delta in Solano County, relatively high organic matter content. The combined stabilization of river distributaries through levee building, and the installation of large pumping plants, tidal gates, etc. have succeeded in lowering the ground water table and have allowed the establishment of agriculture in the region. As a result of the drainage, much of the landscape has subsided (due to peat oxidation and compaction) and is now up to 10 feet or more below sea level. Almost this entire area has been converted to agriculture although some small areas near Cache Slough remain undisturbed and a few areas within river distributary channels remain as riparian zones. Suisun Bay Marshlands Located adjacent to Suisun Bay, the Suisan Bay Marshlands, like the Delta Marshlands is also technically a deltaic environment. This marshland was formed in part from sediment from local streams as opposed to the main Central Valley drainage and is in contact with more brackish waters than the marshlands to the east. Tidal marsh formation within the San Francisco Estuary was initiated about 10,000 years ago during the Holocene submergence when sea water flowed into the Golden Gate, and the rate of sea-level rise slowed sufficiently for tidal marsh sediments to accrete near sea level. Prior to that time, the Estuary consisted of broad stream valleys far above glacial low sea level. Following European settlement, huge influxes of sediment associated with hydraulic gold mining in the Sierra Nevada also contributed to areas of rapid marsh growth. The Suisun Marsh region of Solano County has the most complex origin within the San Francisco Bay-Delta System, and is a composite of tidal wetlands with estuarine and riverine origins. The more saline waters that fringe the land in this area have created somewhat differing environmental and ecological conditions. First, it contains mapable areas of peatland: Wheeler Island, Van Sickle Island, and Chipps Island, as well as a region south of Suisun City. Second, many of the non-peat soils are both strongly acidic and saline. The acidity arises from the oxidation of pyrite (or other iron sulphides) as a result of human water table lowering and the change from reducing to oxidizing conditions, creating sulfuric acids and distinctive reddish and yellow-red oxidized iron (Fe) colors. The vegetation in this area consisted of tules, reeds, and salt-tolerant

D.Climate

1.Describethegeneralclimateofthedistrict.The climate of Solano County varies spatially depending mainly on the effects of topography on rainfall distribution. The eastern parts of the County (Sacramento Valley/Sacramento and Suisun Bay watersheds) are classified as having a Mediterranean/hot summer climate while the western portions (Napa River/San Pablo Bay watersheds) have a Mediterranean/cool summer climate. The average annual precipitation in the Central Valley lowland areas of the County is typically between 15 and 25 inches, with higher rainfall amounts reaching 25 to 40 inches in the western hills.

SolanoCountyETo Solano County lies within two hydrologic regions with the western part of the county in the San Francisco Bay Region and the eastern portion in the Sacramento River Region. Since Solano County is part of two hydrologic regions it is not feasible to list an “average” ETo for the entire county. The eastern portion of the county has similar climatic conditions as the Sacramento Valley characterized by mild winters and hot summers with periods of above 90 °F days. In contrast the southern and western sections have more in common with the San Francisco Bay Area. The two cities in the southwestern part of the county, Benicia and Vallejo, have inland coastal maritime climates typified by cool, wet winters with significant periods of coastal fog. The summers tend to be warm, but not hot, due to frequent cooling sea breezes. Fairfield, which is situated near the dividing line between the San Francisco Bay Region and the Sacramento River Region, has average climatic conditions that lie between the two. This is borne out by an examination of annual ETo data (Figure 3). Dixon, located in eastern Solano County has an annual ETo of 52.1, comparable to Sacramento at 51.9. In southwest Solano County, Benicia has an annual ETo of 40.3 which is similar to the Oakland foothill’s annual ETo of 39.6. Fairfield’s annual ETo of 45.2 is halfway between that of Dixon and Benicia.

AverageTemperaturesIn the western and southern regions of Solano County the marine influence of the San Francisco Bay acts to moderate climatic conditions so that wide temperature fluctuations are not seen. Average temperatures in this part of the county range from an average of low 40’s°F in January to the low to mid 80’s°F in July and August. On occasion late summer temperatures can rise into the 90 °F range. The eastern portions of the county are not as greatly influenced by the San Francisco Bay and experience greater temperature ranges. Records from the Western Regional Climate Center show an average minimum temperature in Vacaville of about 37 °F in January to an average high temperature of 95°F in July. In the summer, temperatures can rise above 100 degrees. Average frost-free season – 240-280 days2

E.NaturalandCulturalResources SCWA is not directly involved in management of natural resources in Solano County. Since the completion of the 2005 UWMP, SCWA, along with cities and districts, completed a Habitat Conservation Plan for the conservation of endangered species in Solano County. This plan titled, Solano Habitat Conservation Plan was completed in June of 2009. The Habitat Conservation Plan is a requirement of the biological opinion for Solano Project contract renewal. SCWA is involved in the management of the natural resources of Putah Creek as part of the Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee. There are numerous recreation and cultural resources within Solano County. SCWA is not involved in any recreational or cultural resources management. Recreational and cultural resource management is done by Solano County and its cities.

F.OperatingRulesandRegulations(waterrelated) Exhibit A is a copy of a typical Solano Project Water Supply Contract between SCWA and member agencies. This provides information regarding water allocation and scheduling and reflects the wholesaler (SCWA) to retailer (cities or districts) relationship. The Solano Project Water Supply Contract also has standard operating procedures for the Solano Project. There is additional information regarding some of the issues in the contract between Reclamation and SCWA for Solano Project Water Supply. SCWA has an agreement with Solano Irrigation District (SID) for operation and maintenance of the Putah South Canal. The agreement is attached as Exhibit B. 2.Describecontractor'sagriculturalwaterallocationpolicy. The agreements between SCWA and the member agencies call for allocation of all water supply available from the Solano Project. If there is a deficiency in supply from the Solano Project all member agencies are reduced proportionately.

Solano County Water Agency 2017 5-year Water Management Plan___________________

pg. 18

SCWA is strictly a wholesale supplier of water, not a water utility. It is the responsibility of each of the member units to deal with water shortages. SCWA provides coordination assistance but is not responsible for making any decisions regarding water shortages. The only exception is that SCWA retains authority to change allocations of SWP supplies water during shortages. The contract language is as follows: “If at any time there occurs a shortage from any cause in the quantity of project water made available to Agency so that the total quantity made available to Agency is less than the total of all quantities of project water contracted for by this member unit and other member units, Agency shall portion the project water available among all member units in such a manner as Agency shall determine to be equitable. In making such determination, Agency shall consult with all its member units as shall be guided by, but not limited to, consideration of the following factors with respect to each member unit: other supplies of water available to the member unit; the quantities of water normally used by the member unit for domestic, municipal, industrial, commercial, and other purposes, and the relative ability of the member unit to reduce the quantity of water it uses; and impact various reductions of water supply will have on the economy, public health, and welfare.” A two-stage trigger for contingency actions is shown in the following table. Stage 1 is if there is a 25% reduction in either State Water Project and/or Solano Project supplies. During Stage 1 conditions, SCWA will offer to assist member agencies in any internal exchanges or transfers and also assist in securing additional water supplies from outside sources such as drought water banks or joint efforts with other water agencies to obtain supplies in dry years. Water Supply Shortage Stages and Conditions

Stage 2 is invoked if there is a 50% reduction in SWP and/or Solano Project supplies. During Stage 2 conditions SCWA will perform the same functions in Stage 1 and will also state its willingness to consider allocations of shortages in the SWP supply as specified in the member agency agreements.

d. Describe contractor's water-use data accounting procedures. Solano County Water Agency is strictly a wholesaler and has no retail accounts. As a wholesaler, SCWA has nine customers from the Solano Project – all are public agencies. Each turnout from the Putah South Canal is measured by the respective Member Unit and reported to SCWA. SCWA is not involved in any meter reading.

A water supply contract executed in 1955 between SCWA and USBR provided for repayment of Solano Project costs. The contract included a fixed water payment for the term of the contract. The contract was renewed for a 25-year term in 1999. The pricing of the water was kept the same as the rates set in 1955. The rates are $15 per acre-foot for urban water and $2.65 per acre-foot for agricultural water. These charges offset the capital cost for the Solano Project. SCWA pays for operational losses and spills from the Putah South Canal. However, SCWA completed repayment of the Solano Project capital costs in 2006. As a result, SCWA and its member units no longer have to remit annual water entitlement payments to USBR for Solano Project water. The contractual allocation of water supply from the Solano Project to Solano Project contracting agencies is shown in following table. SID and the Maine Prairie Water District (MPWD) have an agreement whereby SID receives 10,000 acre-feet per year of MPWD's Solano Project entitlement in return for providing a larger amount of agricultural return flows to MPWD. There have been other exchanges and transfers of Solano Project entitlements that are explained in the respective Member Unit Water Management Plans. The University of California, Davis (UCD) has a contract right to 4,000 AF annually from the Solano Project (SP). SP water, stored in Lake Berryessa, is released down Putah Creek from Monticello Dam and re-captured by Putah Diversion Dam approximately 13 miles downstream. The water is diverted from the Putah South Canal (PSC) to UCD via a surcharged pipeline approximately 2 miles downstream of the PSC head-works. UCD uses the water for agricultural purposes only.

For State Water Project water delivered through the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA), agreements between SCWA and NBA contracting cities call for a price of $20.50 per acre-foot. This price was established to roughly equate to the price of municipal and industrial water from the Solano Project. There are provisions in the NBA contract for increasing the price of water sold to cities should additional funding be necessary to pay DWR for the water. The special NBA property tax generates funding necessary to make up the difference between the current amount paid to DWR for SWP water and the $20.50 charged to cities. The special NBA property tax of $0.02 per $100 assessed valuation is assessed to a zone of benefit that includes all the cities and most of the irrigated agricultural lands in the County. The property tax assessment is to be in effect as long as payments must be made for NBA water supply. The five active NBA contracting cities (Cities of Benicia, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo) are billed twice annually for 50% of their Table A entitlement. Invoices are sent in April and November. November is for the upcoming calendar year.

The contract right reaches a maximum of 1,500 AF by 2020 remains so each year thereafter. Rio Vista currently has no transmission or treatment facilities to utilize water from the NBA. With permission from DWR (and other relevant regulatory agencies) Rio Vista could take its SWP contract water directly from the Sacramento River rather than through the NBA.

WaterShortageAllocationPolicies SCWA is contractually committed to deliver the full contract amount of water supply from the Solano Project unless the water supply does not physically exist (e.g. an empty reservoir). All Solano Project contractors, whether they are municipal or agricultural, are on an equal basis for Solano Project water supply. The Solano Project contract with member agencies requires the full amount allocated by USBR be provided to the member agencies. The contract between SCWA and USBR requires allocation of the full amount of contract amounts unless that water is physically unable to be delivered from the Solano Project. The “Solano Project Members Agreement As To Drought Measures and Water Allocation” (Exhibit C) provides for a reduction in the use of Solano Project water when reservoir levels are between 800,000 acre feet of storage (approximately half full) and 450,000 acre feet of storage. The Agreement requires a reduction of five to ten percent of Solano Project use during this storage level. The five to ten percent not utilized is stored in the reservoir as carryover to be made available when the storage is above 800,000 acre feet or below 450,000 acre feet.

As stated earlier, SCWA is contractually committed to provide the available water supply from the Solano Project to its member agencies regardless of hydrologic conditions. SCWA does not have the ability to take measures to provide incentives or disincentives for water use from SCWA. This is best addressed at the local level. SCWA is strictly a wholesale supplier of water. Each of the member units has its own method to deal with water shortages. SCWA provides coordination assistance but is not responsible for making any decisions regarding water shortages. The only exception is that SCWA retains authority to change allocations of State Water Project supplies water during shortages. The contract language is as follows: “If at any time there occurs a shortage from any cause in the quantity of project water made available to Agency so that the total quantity made available to Agency is less than the total of all quantities of project water contracted for by this member unit and other member units, Agency shall portion the project water available among all member units in such a manner as Agency shall determine to be equitable. In making such determination, Agency shall consult with all its member units as shall be guided by, but not limited to, consideration of the following factors with respect to each member unit: other supplies of water available to the member unit; the quantities of water normally used by the member unit for domestic, municipal, industrial, commercial, and other purposes, and the relative ability of the member unit to reduce the quantity of water it uses; and impact various reductions of water supply will have on the economy, public health, and welfare.” A two-stage trigger for contingency actions is shown in the following table. Stage 1 is if there is a 25% reduction in either State Water Project and/or Solano Project supplies. During Stage 1 conditions, SCWA will offer to assist member agencies in any internal exchanges or transfers and also assist in securing additional water supplies from outside sources such as drought water banks

or joint efforts with other water agencies to obtain supplies in dry years. Water Supply Shortage Stages and Conditions

Stage 2 is invoked if there is a 50% reduction in SWP and/or Solano Project supplies. During Stage 2 conditions SCWA will perform the same functions in Stage 1 and will also state its willingness to consider allocations of shortages in the SWP supply as specified in the member agency agreements. A copy of SCWA’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan is shown in Exhibit D. SCWA is contractually committed to provide the available water supply from the Solano Project to its member agencies regardless of hydrologic conditions.

Section4:BMPsforUrbanContractors Please note that the CUWCC was dissolved and reformed as the California Water Efficiency Partnership (CalWEP). SCWA is a wholesale supplier of raw water to Solano County including the cities of Vallejo, Vacaville, Fairfield and Suisun City. These cities are contractually required to meet Reclamation’s requirements as part of their water supply contract with SCWA.

FoundationalBestManagementPracticesforUrbanWaterEfficiency

WaterLossControl SCWA is responsible for maintaining the Putah South Canal (PSC) of the Solano Project. The PSC is a 33 mile concrete lined channel. PSC losses are calculated by taking measured flows (measured by Parshall flume) at the PSC headworks and subtracting our deliveries. SCWA has developed a multi-year program to better quantify whether losses are from leakage, accounting errors or measurement errors – or a combination of both. Several major leaks were identified by taking in canal flow measurements and were repaired in 2002. Other areas in the PSC were checked, but no other such major leaks were identified. In 2003 rating curves for weirs delivering PSC to large agricultural turnouts were recalibrated after it was discovered that the rating curves were not accurate. There is an ongoing program to install improved water measurement devices in the PSC to provide a more accurate mass balance of water. The other conveyance facility serving SCWA, the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) is an underground pipeline (22 miles) operated and maintained by the California Department of Water Resources. DWR reports that there are no significant losses from the NBA.

Meteringwith Commodity Rates for all New Connections and Retrofit of ExistingConnections(NOTEXEMPTIBLE) All SCWA water sales are metered – there are no unmetered connections. However, none of those meters belong to SCWA. Therefore, SCWA does not handle any operations or maintenance of the meters, that becomes the responsibility of the respective member units. The BMP also requires the identification of intra- and inter-agency disincentives or barriers to retrofitting mixed use commercial accounts with dedicated landscape meters and conducting a feasibility study to assess the merits of a program to provide incentives to switch mixed use accounts to dedicated landscape meters. This portion of the BMP is more appropriately implemented by the member units.

PublicInformationPrograms Current Public Information Program elements include purchasing public outreach materials such as the “Practical Plumbing Handbook” and “California Watershed Approach to Landscape Design” and providing them to our member units. The Water Agency also staffs a booth at the Solano County Fair and at various Earth Day events such as the Genentech Eco Fair. SCWA provides speakers to community groups such as the League of Women Voters and has presented at AWWA and Watersmart Innovations conferences. Water use efficiency information is provided on the agency website, www.scwa2.com. Another element of the SCWA public outreach program is a residential water survey program that strives to educate homeowners to become more water efficient. Elements of the water survey include:

An interview with the homeowner; Historical water use report; An irrigation system check for malfunctioning sprinkler heads or other system parts; A review of irrigation scheduling and recommendations; Leak checks; Providing homeowners with information about rebate programs offered including turf

replacement, high efficiency clothes washers, and weather-based irrigation controllers;

SchoolEducationPrograms The Water Agency has agreements with ZunZun and Rock Steady Juggling to provide school education programs primarily directed to elementary school students. ZunZun is a performing arts group that uses a blend of humor, movement music and song, to educate students about the environments and cultures of the Americas. In the 2017/18 school year, ZunZun represented the Solano County Water Agency by performing 54 assemblies at 29 schools, libraries and summer programs to teach approximately 12,688 children and 634 educators about their connection to water, water conservation, sustainability, and watershed pollution prevention and how they are all related. The assemblies were in Spanish and English, depending on the language spoken by audience members. ZunZun also presented at Solano County libraries year as part of their summer reading programs. Hundreds of parents and families were able to hear the SCWA water conservation and watershed pollution prevention messages first hand in this setting. The water shows at the libraries were very popular and SCWA will continue to fund the program. This year’s assemblies were focused heavily on specific water conservation messages as well as drought education and watershed pollution prevention. All assemblies included California State Education standards in Science (NGSS, Next Generation Science Standards), Math, History-Social Science, Language Arts and English Language Development, and Fine Arts so that they easily tied into common core classroom curriculum. All assemblies had lots of audience participation. All of the information was geared to be solid, hands-on ideas that students could take home and share with their families to save water and prevent watershed pollution. Additionally, we sent every school a newsletter article they could put in their school newsletter to help parents and families

learn the concepts and know about the SCWA sponsored assemblies. http://www.thewaterbeat.com/ Rock Steady Juggling provides innovative and high-quality educational entertainment. The founder, Doug Nolan uses comedy, juggling, magic and audience participation to teach young students environmental education. The shows are fun and informative – the students learn about wise water use in a way that keeps their interest. http://www.rocksteadyjuggling.com/ SCWA also works with our member agencies in implementing a school video contest for Solano County. The video contest has grown in popularity over the years to the point almost 200 videos are submitted each year. This contest offers prizes to students and teachers for the top three videos. The students are also afforded an opportunity to receive their prize at a school rally or a city council meeting. The top videos from each year can be seen on SCWA’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SolanoSavesWater

WholesaleAgencyAssistancePrograms SCWA manages and provides 75% of the program funding for several Solano County water conservation programs. SCWA implements a regional water use efficiency program covering the entire county. These programs include the Residential Water Survey, High-Efficiency Clothes Washer Rebate, High-Efficiency Toilet Replacement and Installation Program targeting multi-family and commercial accounts, and Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Water Conservation Programs. Additionally, the Agency implemented rebate programs for turf-replacement and installation of a Weather-Based Irrigation Controller (Smart controller). To avoid “double counting”, details of the programs, including numbers of rebates disbursed, will be provided by SCWA member units. The Water Agency is an active member of both the California Water Efficiency Partnership (CalWEP) and the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE). SCWA has been the lead agency for several water efficiency improvement grants including the Bay Area IRWM conservation grant and the Westside IRWM grant. These grants provided funding that helped support water efficiency programs in the service area. As the lead agency, SCWA is responsible for collecting program data, administering grant funds, and providing required progress reports.

ConservationPricing SCWA is contractually obligated to charge a fixed rate for water from the Solano Project. In regards to the Solano Project, contracts between SCWA and its member units that use this water source call for a price of $2.65 per acre-foot for agricultural water and $15.00 per acre-foot for M&I water.

WaterSurveyProgramsforSingle‐FamilyandMulti‐FamilyResidentialCustomers

Since 2008 SCWA has administered this program regionally on behalf of its member units. College interns are used as the primary water surveyors. A mass mailing of the top 10 – 15% of residential waters is conducted. In the mailing, a free residential water survey is offered to the homeowner. This survey includes 1) checks for leaks including toilets and faucets, 2) a check of the showerhead and aerator flow rates, and a check of the irrigation system for leaks/overlap and determine timer functioning and current schedule. The homeowner is provided a history of their water use and tips saving money by reducing water use. See member units’ reports for detailed program data. .

LargeLandscapeConservationProgramsandIncentives This BMP is not applicable since SCWA does not directly serve any large landscape customers. However, just as is the case with the other non-applicable BMPs, SCWA will support the member units’ efforts to implement this BMP. SCWA does implement a Solano Water Efficient Landscape Rebate Program that offers a $5,000

maximum rebate for private Commercial, Industrial, Institutional (CII) sites). The maximum rebate is a 50% match up to $10,000 per site for all public entity applicants. SCWA also offers a Regional Large Landscape Water Budget program. The program is managed by Waterfluence and includes the following components: Waterfluence online platform, designed to help large commercial and public landscape sites irrigate more efficiently. The platform contains a suite of advanced irrigation metrics and stakeholder communications. SCWA has an online administrative portal to monitor all aspects of the sites in real time. The online platform was designed to integrate with on-site landscape audits. The general approach with field surveys is to identify the root causes of inefficiency at a site, and inspire its stakeholders to take corrective actions. Every site has unique circumstances, but almost all can benefit from technical advice on water pressure, nozzling, sprinkler head maintenance, irrigation scheduling, and landscape design. A report containing a summary of findings and recommendations as well as annotated photographs illustrating site problems and solutions. A sample report is included as Exhibit ___. SCWA has a Customized Water Efficiency Rebate Program to assist commercial accounts implement recommendations to improve water efficiency at the property. The commercial account can receive a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of an irrigation upgrade.

High‐EfficiencyWashingMachineRebateProgram SCWA has implemented a High-Efficiency Washer (HEW) Rebate since 2008. SCWA administers this program on a regional basis on behalf of its member units. The program offers a rebate up to $100.00 for the purchase and installation of a qualifying EnergyStar Most Efficient labeled HEW. See member unit reports for program results for their respective service areas.

ConservationProgramsforCIIAccounts SCWA administers this program on a regional basis on behalf of its member units since 2007. The Solano Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) Water Efficiency consists of the following:

1) Provide water surveys (audits) to the targeted number of CII accounts, 2) Replace high-water use toilets with HETs 3) Offer a Customized Water Efficiency Rebate Program to assist commercial accounts

implement recommendations to improve water efficiency at the property. The commercial account can receive a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of a qualifying water efficiency upgrade.

4) SCWA has contracted with GHD to assess the effectiveness of the current CII water use efficiency program to find areas of future growth.

(i) “Project” shall mean the Solano Project, California, of the Bureau of

Reclamation, consisting of Monticello Dam and Reservoir, Putah Diversion Dam and

Reservoir, and Putah South Canal, substantially as described and set forth in the House

Document No. 65, 81st Congress, 1st Session.

(j) "Project Water" shall mean all water that is developed, diverted, stored, or

delivered by the United States and made available through the Agency to the

Participating Agency in accordance with the statutes authorizing the Project and in

accordance with the terms and conditions of applicable water rights permits and licenses

acquired by and/or issued to the United States and/or the Agency and Participating

5

Agencies pursuant to California law for the Solano Project which are now in effect and as

may in the future be modified.

(k) “Secretary” or “Contracting Officer” shall mean the Secretary of the

United States Department of the Interior or his or her duly authorized representative.

Section 2. Term of Contract. This contract shall become effective on March 1,

1999, and shall remain in effect until the end of the term of the Master Contract;

provided, that in the event that the Agency, at its option, extends or renews the Master

Contract, then the Participating Agency, at its option, may extend or renew this contract,

subject to the terms of the Master Contract as so extended or renewed and subject to such

rates for water service as shall then be established by the Agency; provided further, that

whenever the Master Contract is terminated, or suspended, in the manner and for a cause

or causes specified in the Master Contract, this contract shall be similarly terminated or

suspended.

Section 3. Quantities of Water to be Furnished. The Agency shall furnish to the

Participating Agency, and the Participating Agency shall pay to the Agency for, a water

service consisting of up to 1,200 acre feet per year for water from the Project. The

Agency will not enter into any new contracts, or amend any existing contracts, with any

Participating Agencies if such new contract or amendment would cause the total amount

of water to be furnished to all Participating Agencies to exceed 192,350 acre feet per

year, which is the current amount of Project Water currently contracted for with the

6

existing Participating Agencies, without the prior written concurrence of all other existing

Participating Agencies.

Section 4. Time for Delivery of Water. The Participating Agency shall submit, in

writing, to the Agency, prior to February 15 of each Contract Year during the term

thereof, a schedule, in a form satisfactory to the Agency, of water deliveries to be made

to the Participating Agency during the following Contract Year.

Section 5. Rate and Method of Payment.

(a) The Participating Agency shall pay the Agency for all water furnished from

the Project, which shall be announced each year by the Agency. The rate shall consist of

the following parts: (1) the applicable rate charged to the Agency by the Contracting

Officer pursuant to Article 5(a) and 5(b) of the Master Contract. (2) a charge determined

by the Agency if the rates for Project Water charged to the Agency by the Contracting

Officer, as identified in Article 5(a) and 5(b) of the Master Contract, increase beyond

$2.65 per acre foot for Irrigation Water or $15.00 per acre foot for M&I Water, where

the Agency may adjust the rates identified in this subdivision, for all Participating

Agencies, to recover all or part of the new rates so charged to the Agency by the

Contracting Officer. Such adjustment will result in new rates, but the ratio between M&I

Water and Irrigation Water rates shall be the same as between $15.00 and $2.65. The

new rates under this subdivision will be applied uniformly to M&I Water users and

Irrigation Water users, meaning that all Participating Agencies using M&I Water will pay

the same rate and all Participating Agencies using Irrigation Water will pay the same rate.

7

It is the intent of the Agency that rates under this Section 5(a) be the same as the rates

charged to the Agency by the Contracting Officer pursuant to Articles 5(a) and 5(b) of

the Master Contract, including the expectation that after payout of Project capital costs

the rates in Article 5(a) and 5(b) will be adjusted or eliminated, except if additional

funding is needed from the Participating Agencies for replacement and improvement of

Solano Project facilities. Any increase in the rates in this Section 5(a) shall only be

imposed, consistent with applicable law, after consultation with the Participating

Agencies and review and comment by the Agency’s Advisory Commission. (3) an

additional charge to the Participating Agency to pay for improvements, modifications,

and/or additions to the Project, as described in Article 5(f) of the Master Contract,

assessed to the Agency by the Contracting Officer. The Agency will determine how this

charge will be apportioned to Participating Agencies, consistent with applicable law, and

after consultation with Participating Agencies and review and comment by the Agency’s

Advisory Commission. The Agency shall spread this additional charge to the

Participating Agency over a reasonable period of repayment. (4) An amount to be

determined annually by the Agency, for each acre foot of Project Water allocated to the

Participating Agency to pay for a proportionate share of non-capital Project costs

including operation, maintenance and replacement of Project facilities; engineering;

legal; environmental compliance; and a share of Agency administrative costs. The

component specified in 5(a)(4) shall be generally calculated by dividing non-capital

Project expenses, less revenue from Project Water sales and less other Project revenues

but excluding property tax related revenues, for the Contract Year and the preceding four

years by the amount of Project Water allocated, including operational losses in the Putah

8

South Canal, by the Agency during the Contract Year and the preceding four years. The

Agency shall determine this charge by November 1 to be assessed during the forthcoming

Contract Year using budgeted income and expenditures and projected Project Water

schedules. The Agency shall make an adjustment to the charges at the end of the Contact

Year to reflect actual Project expenditures and revenues and actual Project Water

deliveries during the Contract Year and the preceding four years. Any amounts due or to

be refunded will be factored into the next Contract Year charges. The charge under this

subdivision for Contract Year 1999-2000 will be $11.67 per acre foot.

(b) In addition to the rate described in subdivision (a) of this Section, the Agency

may assess an additional charge to the Participating Agency to pay for an Administrative

Charge, as described in Article 1(b) of the Master Contract, assessed to the Agency by

the Contracting Officer, if the annual Administrative Charge is estimated, through the

process described in Article 5(d) of the Master Contract, to be greater than $100,000 per

year. This additional charge will be apportioned to Participating Agencies such that the

ratio between M&I Water and Irrigation Water rates under this subsection shall be the

same as between $15.00 and $2.65. The new rates under this subdivision will be applied

uniformly to M&I Water users and Irrigation Water users, meaning that all Participating

Agencies using M&I Water will pay the same rate and all Participating Agencies using

Irrigation Water will pay the same rate.

(c) Each Contract Year, the Participating Agency will pay to the Agency, the

amount due to the Agency for the quantities of water to be made available to the

Participating Agency pursuant to the terms hereof, excluding any Project Water stored in

the Project pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement which has already been paid for, as

9

follows: the Participating Agency shall pay one-half of the amount payable for each

Contract Year on or before February 1 preceding such Contract Year, and shall pay the

remainder of said amount on or before August 1 of said Contract Year.

Section 6. Point of Delivery, Measurement and Responsibility for Distribution.

(a) The Project Water to be furnished to the Participating Agency pursuant to this

contract shall be made available to the Participating Agency at such turnout or turnouts

from the Canal, and any additional point or points of delivery either on Project facilities

or another location or locations mutually agreed to in writing by the Agency and the

Contracting Officer, which writing shall also address measuring points and obligations of

additional location or locations.

(b) All water furnished pursuant to this contract shall be measured either by the

Agency or the Participating Agency at each point of delivery established pursuant to

Section 6(a) hereof, with equipment satisfactory to the Agency which, if not provided by

the United States, shall be installed, operated and maintained at the expense of the

Participating Agency. For equipment provided by the United States or the Agency, all

determinations relative to the measurement of water shall be made by the Agency and

upon request of the Participating Agency, the accuracy of such measurements will be

investigated by the Agency. Any error appearing therein will be adjusted. The

Participating Agency may inspect such measuring equipment for the purpose of

determining the accuracy thereof. For equipment provided by the Participating Agency,

all determinations relative to the measurement of water shall be made by the Participating

Agency and upon the request of the Agency, the accuracy of such measurements will be

10

investigated by the Participating Agency. Any errors appearing therein will be adjusted.

The Agency may inspect such measuring equipment for the purposes of determining the

accuracy thereof.

(c) The Agency shall not be responsible, beyond the aforesaid points of delivery,

for the control, carriage, handling, use, disposal, or distribution of water which may be

furnished hereunder, and the Participating Agency shall hold the Agency and the United

States, their officers, agents and employees harmless from legal liability for damages of

any nature whatsoever arising out of any actions or omissions by the Participating

Agency, its officers, agents and employees related to the control, carriage, handling, use,

disposal, or distribution of water beyond the aforesaid points of delivery. The Agency

waives all right, title, and interest in or to any water, seepage, drainage, over-flow or

return flow derived from water furnished under this contract, provided, however, that

nothing herein shall in any manner affect the right of the United States of America, to

waste, seepage and return flow which escapes or is discharged beyond the boundaries of

the Agency, as specified in Article 10(c) of the Master Contract.

Section 7. Sales, Transfers and Exchanges of Project Water.

(a) The Participating Agency may deliver or cause to be delivered any water

furnished hereunder, including a sale, transfer or exchange of Project Water to another

Participating Agency, or any other public agency in Solano County, for use on lands

within Agency’s Service Area as defined in Article 1(c) of the Master Contract upon

prior written notification to the Agency and subject to the restrictions in this Section.

11

(b) The Participating Agency shall not, directly or indirectly, deliver or cause to

be delivered any water furnished hereunder, including a sale, transfer or exchange of

Project Water, for use on lands outside the Agency’s Service Area as defined in Article

1(c) of the Master Contract.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, a Participating Agency may deliver or

cause to be delivered any water furnished hereunder, including a sale, transfer or

exchange of Project Water, outside the Agency’s Service Area as defined in Article 1 (c)

of the Master Contract, under the following conditions:

(1) The Participating Agency shall cause the lands to which the water is

to be delivered to be added to the Agency’s Service Area, in accordance

with California Law, including obtaining approval of the Agency and, if

necessary, the Contracting Officer, and at the cost of the Participating

Agency. The contents of the petition to the State Water Resources Control

Board, and any terms and conditions to be imposed upon the grant of any

such petition, shall be approved by the Agency.

(2) The Participating Agency must first offer the water proposed to be

delivered, under substantially the same terms and conditions, to all other

Participating Agencies. The Participating Agencies shall have 30 days to

respond in writing to the proposing Participating Agency as to their

intention to exercise this right of first refusal. Any Participating Agency

exercising its right of first refusal will then have an additional 60 days to

complete a transaction to exercise this right of first refusal. Any exercise

of this right of first refusal must be for the full amount of the proposal. If

12

more than one Participating Agency exercises the right of first refusal,

water to be made available by the proposal will be apportioned, among the

Participating Agencies exercising the right of first refusal, upon the basis

of the amount of Project Water each Participating Agency is entitled to

receive pursuant to its contract with the Agency, or some other

apportionment agreed to by the Participating Agencies exercising the right

of first refusal. This subsection (2) does not apply to annexations of lands

by a Participating Agency inside Solano County.

(d) Any existing sales, transfers or exchanges of Project Water existing as of the

date of this Contract that have been approved by the Agency shall be deemed approved

under this Contract.

Section 8. Water Shortages. There may occur at times, during any year, a

shortage in the quantity of water available for furnishing to the Agency for distribution to

Participating Agencies. If there is a reduction in the Project Water available to the

Agency during any Year because of errors in physical operations of the Project, drought,

other physical causes beyond the control of the Contracting Officer, or actions taken by

the Contracting Officer to meet legal obligations, no liability shall accrue against the

Agency or the United States or any of its officers, agents, or employees for any damage,

direct or indirect, arising therefrom, so long as actions based upon the opinions or

determinations of the Contracting Officer are consistent with the standards in Article 23

of the Master Contract. In any year in which there may occur a shortage from any cause

so that the total quantity of water made available to the Agency is less than the total of all

13

quantities contracted for by this Participating Agency and other Participating Agencies,

the Agency shall apportion the water supply available to the Agency among all

Participating Agency entitled to receive water from the Project, in proportion to their

contractual entitlements to Project Water, as specified in Section 3 of the agreement for

each Participating Agency. Within seven (7) days of the receipt by the Agency from the

Contracting Officer of notice of an actual or probable shortage, the Agency will transmit

a true copy of such notice to all Participating Agencies.

Section 9. Adjustments. The amount of any overpayment by the Participating

Agency, by reason of the amount of water actually available hereunder from the Project

during any Contract Year having been less than the quantity of such water which the

Participating Agency otherwise would have been required to pay for under the provisions

of this contract, shall be applied first to any accrued indebtedness arising out of this

contract, then due and owing to the Agency by the Participating Agency, and any amount

of such overpayment thereafter remaining shall, at the option of the Participating Agency,

be refunded to the Participating Agency or credited upon amounts to become due to the

Agency from the Participating Agency under the provisions of this contract in the

ensuring Contract Year.

Section 10. Non-responsibility for Quality of Water. Neither the Agency nor the

United States assumes any responsibility with respect to the quality of the water to be

furnished pursuant to this contract, and neither the Agency nor the United States warrants

the quality of any such water. The Agency shall continue to cooperate with the

14

Contracting Officer and Participating Agencies on programs and projects to improve the

quality of water delivered by the Project including, but not limited to, measures to control

erosion, sedimentation, and pollutants in the watershed of Monticello Reservoir.

Section 11. Storage of Water.

(a) To the extent that storage space in Monticello Reservoir is available, the

Agency, upon the request of the Participating Agency, shall withhold delivery of and

store in Monticello Reservoir, for and on behalf of the Participating Agency, any such

unused quantities of water required to be furnished to the Participating Agency by the

Agency pursuant to this contract. To the extent that such water can be delivered without

impacting the delivery of Project Water to any Participating Agency for the current Water

Year, such water shall therefore be made available to the Participating Agency in

accordance with a schedule to be furnished by the Participating Agency. If two or more

Participating Agencies request storage of water in Monticello Reservoir, the available

storage space will be apportioned each year upon the basis of the amount of water each

of such Participating Agencies is entitled to receive pursuant to its contract with the

Agency.

(b) In the event any water is so stored by any Participating Agency, and it

becomes necessary to release water from Monticello Reservoir because of the lack of

storage capacity or in the event that water spills from Monticello Reservoir, water so

released or spilled shall, up to the amount stored for and on behalf of the Participating

Agencies, be deemed to be water stored for and on behalf of such Participating Agencies.

If only a portion of the stored water is released or spilled, the amount of such release or

15

spill shall be apportioned to each Participating Agency in proportion to the amount of

stored water each Participating Agency possessed immediately prior to the release or

spill.

(c) No payment to the Agency is required when stored water is released to the

Participating Agency because the stored water is paid for, during the Year of allocation,

as part of the Participating Agency’s annual Project Water supply pursuant to Section

5(a) of this agreement.

Section 12. Measurement of Water within the Participating Agency.

(a) Within five (5) years of the effective date of this contract, the Participating

Agency shall ensure that, unless the Participating Agency establishes an alternative

measurement program satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, all Irrigation Water

delivered within each of the Participating Agency’s service areas is measured at each

agricultural turnout and all M&I Water delivered within each of the Participating

Agency’s service areas is measured at each municipal and industrial service connection.

All water measuring devices or water measuring methods of comparable effectiveness

must be acceptable to the Contracting Officer. The Participating Agency shall be

responsible for installing, operating, and maintaining and repairing all such measuring

devices and implementing all such water measuring methods at no cost to the Agency or

the United States. The Participating Agency shall use the information obtained from such

water measuring devices or water measuring methods to ensure proper management of

the water; to bill water users for water delivered by the Participating Agency; and, if

applicable, to record M&I Water delivered by customer class as defined in its water

16

conservation plan. Nothing herein contained, however, shall preclude any Participating

Agency from establishing and collecting any charges, assessments or other revenues

authorized by California law.

(b) All new surface water delivery systems installed within the Participating

Agency’s service area after the effective date of this contract shall comply with the

measurement provisions described in subdivision (a) of this Section.

Section 13. Water Conservation.

(a) The parties acknowledge that, as of the date of execution of this contract, the

Agency and each Participating Agency that is obligated to do so have developed and are

implementing water conservation plans (i) which contain definite water conservation

goals, appropriate economically feasible water conservation measures, and a time

schedule for meeting the water conservation goals, (ii) which meet or exceed (a) the

requirements of Federal law and (b) the criteria entitled “U.S. Bureau of Reclamation ,

Mid-Pacific Region Criteria for Evaluating Water Management Plans,” and (iii) and

which shall be updated at least every five (5) years.

(b) The Participating Agency shall, promptly upon its adoption, submit to the

Agency a copy of any material revision to the Participating Agency’s water conservation

plan for the Agency’s submittal to the Contracting Officer.

(c) The Participating Agency shall submit to the Agency by February 1, of each

Calendar Year, a report of the status of implementation of its water conservation plan for

the Agency’s submittal to the Contracting Officer.

(d) (1) If at any time the Contracting Officer concludes that the Participating

Agency’s water conservation plan does not substantially conform to the

17

requirements of Federal law or rules or regulations promulgated by the

Contracting Officer pursuant to Federal law, then the Participating Agency shall

amend its respective water conservation plan as necessary to meet the

requirements of such law, rule, or regulation.

(2) If at any time the Contracting Officer concludes that the Participating

Agency’s water conservation plan is materially inconsistent with any water

conservation criteria adopted by the Contracting Officer pursuant to Reclamation

law then in effect, the Contracting Office shall promptly notify the Participating

Agency of his conclusion and the reasons for it. Thereafter, the Contracting

Officer and the Participating Agency shall promptly confer for the purpose of

reaching agreement as to any changes that will be made to the water conservation

plan in light of such criteria.

Section 14. Agreed Charges a General Obligation. The obligations of the

Participating Agency arising out of or pursuant or incidental to this contract or the Master

Contract including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the

Participating Agency to pay to the Agency the sums becoming due the Agency for water

furnished hereunder, shall constitute a general obligation of the Participating Agency and

the Participating Agency shall use all the powers and resources available to it under the

law, including but not limited to causing to be levied, imposed and collected all necessary

taxes, assessments, tolls and charges, to collect the funds necessary for and to pay its

obligations to the Agency under this contract. The general obligations of the

Participating Agency to pay to the Agency the sums due the Agency, pursuant to this

18

contract shall not in any way be reduced, postponed or otherwise affected by the

individual default in the payment to the Participating Agency by individual water users of

assessments, tolls, or other charges levied or owing to the Participating Agency.

Section 15. Defaults. Should the Participating Agency fail to make any payment

to the Agency when the same shall become due for water to be furnished to the

Participating Agency pursuant to this contract, the Agency may thereafter take actions to

enforce the terms of the contract .

Section 16. Penalty for Late Payment. The Agency shall bill Participating

Agencies at least 60 days prior to February 1 and August 1 of each year. If full payment

is not received by the Agency by February 1 and August 1, the Participating Agency shall

remain obligated to pay the full amount due, plus pay the Agency interest on the full

amount due at the annual interest rate equivalent to the interest earned on investments in

the State of California Treasurer’s Office Local Agency Investment Fund plus two

percent (2%), based on the most current reported interest rate, for the time period the

payment is not paid beyond applicable February 1 or August 1 date.

Section 17. Participating Agency to Keep Books, Records and Other Data. The

Participating Agency shall establish and maintain account and other books and records

sufficient to enable the Agency to furnish to the United States reports and statements, to

such extent and in such manner and form as may be prescribed by the United States.

19

Section 18. Service Area of the Participating Agency. Upon request by the

Agency, the Participating Agency will furnish the Agency with maps showing the service

area or areas of its water distribution system. The Participating Agency will not serve

Project Water outside of the Agency’s Service Area, as defined in Article 1(c) of the

Master Contract.

Section 19. Limitations on Obligation of Agency to Furnish Water.

that water and facilities necessary for furnishing the same are available to the Agency as

determined by the Contracting Officer.

(b) The Agency shall not be liable for failure to perform any portion of this

contract to the extent that such failure is caused by the failure of the United States to

perform any obligation imposed on the United States by the Master Contract; provided,

however, that the obligations of the Participating Agency hereunder shall be reduced to

the extent that the Agency is prevented from performing as aforesaid; and provided,

further, that the Agency shall diligently and promptly pursue all rights and remedies

available to it to enforce the rights of the Agency, this Participating Agency and other

Participating Agencies against the United States under the Master Contract relative to

such failure to perform.

Section 20. Applicability of Master Contract. This contract is subject to the

obligations and limitations imposed by the Master Contract. The Master Contract is

20

hereby incorporated herein by this reference to all respects as though set forth in full at

this point. The Participating Agency hereby expressly agrees to the provisions of the

Master Contract imposing obligations and limitations upon it, including the Biological

Opinion, referenced in Section 3 (b) of the Master Contract which will impose

requirements on the Participating Agency. If there is any conflict between the Master

Contract and this Participating Agency Contract, the Master Contract will govern.

Section 21. Duties of Agency. The Agency hereby covenants and agrees

promptly and completely to fulfill its obligations under this contract and the Master

Contract and to apply and to pay to the United States for credit against obligations of the

Agency for the Participating Agency under the Master Contract all sums received by the

Agency from the Participating Agency hereunder, as long as these financial obligations

still exist pursuant to the Master Contract.

Section 22. Existing Water Rights. The provisions of this contract shall not be

applicable to or affect water or water rights now owned or hereafter acquired, other than

from the United States or the Agency, by the Participating Agency or by any landowner

therein, nor shall this contract be construed as limiting or curtailing any rights which the

Participating Agency or any landowner therein acquires or has available to it or him

under the Federal Reclamation laws.

Section 23. Contingent Upon Appropriations or Allotments of Funds. The

expenditure of any money or the performance of any work or service by the United States

21

provided for in the Master Contract which may require appropriations of money by

Congress or the allotment of funds, shall be contingent upon such appropriations or

allotments being made. The failure of Congress to so appropriate funds or the failure of

an allotment of funds shall not relieve the Participating Agency from any obligations

under this contract and no liability shall accrue to the Agency in case such funds are not

so appropriated or allotted: Provided, that in the event that water deliveries are halted or

curtailed, as a result of such failure to appropriate or allot funds, the obligation of the

Participating Agency to make payments pursuant to this contract shall be reduced to the

extent of such halting or curtailment of service.

WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN

Stages of Action

SCWA is strictly a wholesale supplier of water. SCWA is not a water utility. It is the

responsibility of each of the cities within Solano County to deal with water shortages.

SCWA provides coordination assistance but is not responsible for making any decisions

regarding water shortages. The only exception is that SCWA retains authority to change

allocations of SWP supplies water during shortages.

The contract language is as follows: “If at any time there occurs a shortage from any

cause in the quantity of project water made available to Agency so that the total quantity

made available to Agency is less than the total of all quantities of project water

contracted for by this member unit and other member units, Agency shall portion the

project water available among all member units in such a manner as Agency shall

determine to be equitable. In making such determination, Agency shall consult with all

its member units as shall be guided by, but not limited to, consideration of the following

factors with respect to each member unit: other supplies of water available to the member

unit; the quantities of water normally used by the member unit for domestic, municipal,

industrial, commercial, and other purposes, and the relative ability of the member unit to

reduce the quantity of water it uses; and impact various reductions of water supply will

have on the economy, public health, and welfare.”

Although there are frequent shortages in the SWP supply, SCWA has never used its

authority to allocate SWP supplies during any shortages. SCWA has delivered supplies

in proportion to contract amounts.

Table 9 shows a two-stage trigger for contingency actions. Stage 1 is if there is a 25%

reduction in either SWP and/or Solano Project supplies. During Stage 1 conditions,

SCWA will offer to assist member agencies in any internal exchanges or transfers and

also assist in securing additional water supplies from outside sources such as drought

water banks or joint efforts with other water agencies to obtain supplies in dry years.

Water Supply Shortage Stages and Conditions (Table 9)

Stage No. Water Supply Conditions % Shortage

1 Reduction in SWP and/or Solano Project 25%

2 Reduction in SWP and/or Solano Project 50%

Stage 2 is invoked if there is a 50% reduction in SWP and/or Solano Project supplies.

During Stage 2 conditions SCWA will perform the same functions in Stage 1 and will

also state its willingness to consider allocations of shortages in the SWP supply as

specified in the member agency agreements.

Estimate of Minimum Supply For Next Three Years

Water Code Section 10632(b) requires that the UWMP estimate the minimum water

supply available during each of the next three water years based on the driest three year

historic sequence for the agency’s water supply.

SCWA has two water supply sources: the SWP and the Solano Project. These two

projects have different historic dry year sequences. The three worst years for the SWP

supply are 1990-1993. The three worst years for the Solano Project supply are 1929-

1931. These are reflected in Table 10. Note that the use of different dry year sequences

in Table 10 results in a very conservative depiction of the estimated minimum supply for

the next three years as it is unlikely that extreme dry period for both the Solano Project

and SWP will coincide, especially since reductions in the Solano Project is based on

reservoir levels while reductions in SWP supplies are based on current year hydrologic

conditions.

Total 209,756 209,296 203,207 244,598

*does not include Article 21 Water

Note that Table 10 does not include Article 21 water that could supplement SWP

supplies. As mentioned previously, the NBA contractors have access to Article 21 water

on a more frequent basis than those SWP contractors relying upon the SWP Banks

pumping plant. The 2005 SWP Delivery Reliability Data Report shows no Article 21

supply available during 1990-1993, however is likely that some Article 21 would be

available to NBA contractors, but that amount cannot be modeled or quantified.

Catastrophic Supply Interruption Plan

The following discusses actions that would take place if there is a catastrophic event on

either the SWP or Solano Project supplies.

Solano Project

Earthquake: in the event of an earthquake, the Solano Project Emergency Response Plan

is invoked. The Plan, developed in coordination with the USBR, provides a detailed

response for various levels of seismic activities both at the dam site and within a

specified geographical area surrounding the Solano Project. The response is first an

inspection then an assessment of any potential damage. If water deliveries are

unavailable from the Solano Project, water users would shift to SWP supplies and/or

invoking emergency exchange agreements with other public agencies.

Power Outage: The Solano Project is not dependent upon power to operate. It is a gravity

system from Monticello Dam to the end of the Putah South Canal and can be operated

manually.

Contamination: Any detection of contamination would result in a shut-down of the

Solano Project deliveries. Member agencies would switch to the SWP supply.

Landslide: The Putah South Canal is susceptible to a landslide which could either block

or damage the Putah South Canal’s ability to deliver water. SCWA recently invested in a

$3 million project to provide an underground pipeline bypass of an area most susceptible

to a landslide. However, in an event of a landslide that blocks the Putah South Canal,

Solano Project city water users would shift to a SWP supply. The SWP supply would not

be available to agricultural water users.

State Water Project

Earthquake: Should an earthquake result in a disruption of SWP supplies through the

NBA, the member agencies would switch to Solano Project Water supplies. All the NBA

water users have access to Solano Project supplies in such an emergency.

Power Outage: The NBA relies upon PG&E to provide power to pump water through the

NBA. Any power outage of any duration would result in the NBA not being able to

provide its water supply except for the amount of water in storage in the pipeline, that is

very limited. The NBA water users would shift to Solano Project supplies in this

scenario.

Contamination: Should there be a contamination at the intake to the NBA, the NBA

would be shut-down and the member agencies would use Solano Project water until the

contamination is resolved.

Landslide: The NBA is an underground pipeline and therefore would not be subject to

any landslide risks.

Prohibitions, Penalties and Consumption Reduction Methods

SCWA is purely a water wholesaler and does not implement any of the actions

contemplated in this subsection. SCWA is contractually committed to provide the

available water supply from the SWP and the Solano Project to its member agencies

regardless of hydrologic conditions (with the exception of having the authority to allocate

NBA water supplies in a manner different than contractual amounts during a water

shortage). SCWA does not have the ability to take measures to provide incentives or

disincentives for water use from SCWA.

Analysis of Revenue Impacts of Reduced Sales During Shortages

Solano Project

In a shortage situation, there would be a reduction in revenue to SCWA from member

agencies. However, the amount charged to member agencies for Solano Project water

supply is equal to the amount used to purchase the supplies from the U.S. Bureau of

Reclamation. Therefore, there would be no net impact to SCWA revenues during a water

shortage.

State Water Project

The contract between SCWA and its SWP member agencies require full payment of

water supply costs regardless of shortages. Therefore, there would be no financial impact

to SCWA from shortages.

Draft Ordinance and Use Monitoring Procedure

Solano Project

The Solano Project contract with member agencies requires the full amount allocated by

the USBR be provided to the member agencies. The contract between SCWA and the

USBR requires allocation of the full amount of contract amounts unless that water is

physically unable to be delivered from the Solano Project.

“The Solano Project Members Agreement As To Drought Measures and Water

Allocation” is an agreement that provides for a reduction in the use of Solano Project

water when reservoir levels are between 800,000 acre feet of storage (approximately half

full) and 450,000 acre feet of storage. The Agreement requires a reduction of five to ten

percent of Solano Project use during this storage level. The five to ten percent not

utilized is stored in the reservoir as carryover to be made available when the storage is

above 800,000 acre feet or below 450,000 acre feet.

State Water Project

SCWA does have the ability to allocate SWP water to member agencies during a

shortage. SCWA has not invoked this provision to date. SCWA has determined that it

will consider invoking this provision at the request of a member agency on a case by case

basis. We have not predetermined any shortage allocations.

Introduction

A Landscape Water Survey was performed at Round Hill Creek Apartments and revealed a number of irrigation system problems. These include modestly high pressures in spray sprinkler stations, low pressure in rotor sprinkler stations, tipped and low sprinklers with misaligned spray arc patterns, and long duration irrigation programs. This reports details these issues and suggests possible remedies.

Projected water cost savings at Round Hill Creek range from $6,000 to $7,000 annually.

Observation and Results

A system survey was performed on a sample of stations with the following results:

✓ Potential water cost savings range from $6,000 to $7,000 per year. This is based on adjusting water use data from the single multipurpose meter by assuming domestic consumption of 100 units per month. Creek water use was not evaluated separately and is included in the landscape demand calculations.

✓ Sub-metering the landscape and the automatic creek fill valves would provide greater savings estimate accuracy and allow better monitoring by onsite staff.

✓ Fifty-nine percent of the sprinklers are considered operationally effective in the sample stations, the balance were rated as ineffective (41%). For the near term, a target 80% of sprinklers should be rated effective with an ultimate goal of 90-95%.

✓ Modestly higher than recommended pressures in shrub spray sprinkler stations contribute to overspray and misting; pressure was measured at about 35 PSI. Using the flow control handles on the valves adjust pressures down to 25 PSI.

✓ The most common sprinkler mechanical problems were low pop height and misaligned spray arcs. These problems combined cause runoff. Wet walks create slip and fall hazards while potentially damaging hardscape surfaces from runoff. After setting lower pressures, carefully examine each sprinkler and verify installation of an appropriate radius and spray pattern nozzle.

✓ The varied suite of rotor (and impact) sprinklers in the on the site’s south and east perimeter are equipped with a variety of nozzles although predominately they are 2.0 GPM (see table on page 9) on the average 35-37 ft head spacing. Install appropriate flow (sized) nozzles using the table on page 10 as a guide. Pressures are low considering the average head spacing; nominally pressure in PSI should be equal to the spacing in feet plus 10. Page 10 has a table illustrating potential nozzle changes.

✓ The dated Rain Bird Maxi-Paw impact sprinklers, installed in some of the lawn areas, have a low “pop” height which causes flooding around the head: Replace with modern check-valve equipped single-stream rotor sprinklers.

✓ Controller scheduling was excessive and could be responsible for much of the excessive water use. Runtimes were overly long for drip, spray and rotor sprinkler stations. Drip irrigation stations can have deceptively high application rates. While new plant material has restricted root systems, runtimes were excessive. Use short runtimes lengthening them as plants become fully established while reducing the number of days of operation. Spray station runtimes should not exceed 5 minutes, rotor stations 10 minutes and drip 15-20 minutes.

✓ Specifically spray sprinklers, which rapidly apply water (1.5-3.0 inches/hour), should operate for less than 4-5 minutes. Use multiple start times on as few a days of operation as possible, particularly for ground cover controller programs.

MAR.2020.BOD.IT.5G File: L-133

ACTION OF SOLANO COUNTY WATER AGENCY DATE: March 12, 2020 SUBJECT: Authorization for staff to obtain bids for grant funded Cold Canyon Trail Rehabilitation Project.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Adopt bid plans and specifications and authorize staff to obtain bids and accept lowest responsible bid for grant funded Cold Canyon Trail Rehabilitation Project. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Cost reimbursable via Federal Emergency Management Agency Wragg Fire Remediation Grant. BACKGROUND: In the summer of 2015 the Wragg Fire burned over 8,000 acres of steep terrain adjacent to the southern side of Putah Creek, near Monticello Dam. The burn area included all of Cold Canyon, which historically has been a significant contributor of sediment to Lake Solano. The following year the Water Agency commissioned a post-fire erosion risk assessment of Cold Canyon, which identified a number of erosion issues associated with roads and trails traversing the canyon. The post-fire erosion risk assessment subsequently provided the basis for a $441,535 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) fire remediation grant – the funding source for the Cold Canyon Trail Rehabilitation Project. Staff has prepared the attached bid solicitation package and is seeking Board approval to obtain bids, and authorization to accept the lowest responsible bid, for the Cold Canyon Trail Rehabilitation Project.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Roland Sanford, General Manager DATE: March 6, 2020 SUBJECT: March General Manager’s Report Water Supply Outlook An exceptionally dry February has all but guaranteed that the 2020 Water Year will be one of the drier years on record. Fortunately, Lake Berryessa is nearly full – 92 percent of capacity. As of this writing the lake level is approximately 8 feet below the Glory Hole spillway and in terms of storage capacity, approximately 125,000 acre-feet shy of spilling. At this point in time it would take a “miracle March” to generate the volume of runoff needed to top off the lake. It could happen, but certainly is not likely. Earlier in the year the Department of Water Resources increased the North Bay Aqueduct allocation from 20 percent, to 25 percent of the full contractual amount. Given the remarkably dry February and the fact that the Sierra snowpack is less than 50 percent of normal for this time of year, it is unlikely, in the absence of a miracle March, that the 2020 allocation will be increased beyond 25 percent. Bay-Delta Plan Voluntary Agreements The Voluntary Agreement discussions continue to follow a roller coaster pattern, oscillating between “this will definitely happen” to “this will definitely not happen” on nearly a daily basis. At least for some, there remain more good questions than good answers. Also complicating the discussions is the strained relationship between California and the Federal government. For the moment there is a lull in the discussions. As noted in prior reports, staff will continue to participate in and monitor the ongoing Voluntary Agreement discussions, but at some point may recommend the Water Agency pursue its own – Putah Creek specific - voluntary settlement agreement with the State Water Board. Habitat Restoration Projects in the Yolo Bypass and Cache Slough Region Last month a coalition of municipal water users organized by the Solano County Water Agency and consisting of the Solano County Water Agency, Contra Costa Water District, Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and North Bay Aqueduct water users commented on the

proposed Lookout Slough restoration project, one of the larger restoration projects currently proposed in the region (see attached comment letters). There remains a long-standing concern over the potential for these restoration projects to cumulatively create unfavorable water quality conditions for municipal water supplies, either in the form of increased organic carbon or by altering the hydrodynamics (flow and circulation of water) of the region in ways that increases the potential for salinity intrusions and/or creates “dead zones”, where water essentially becomes stagnant for long periods of time. To date there appears to have been comparatively little analysis by anyone as to the cumulative impacts of these large scale restoration projects, despite the fact that the North Bay Aqueduct is nearby and serves approximately 500,000 people in Solano and Napa counties, not to mention the potential for new habitat restoration projects to impair if not completely negate the habitat restoration benefits of preexisting projects, due to unanticipated changes to the flow and circulation of water in the region. Staff will continue to advocate for a regional hydrodynamic cumulative impact analysis of the existing and anticipated habitat restoration projects in the region.

February 13, 2020 Lookout Slough DEIR Attn: Heather Green California Department of Water Resources 3500 Industrial Blvd. West Sacramento, CA 95691 Regional Comment Letter on Draft EIR for the Lookout Slough Restoration Project Dear Ms. Green, The purpose of this letter is to provide the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) consistent, regional comments vital to the agricultural and municipal water users in Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa Counties. Across the Tri-County region, the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta is the primary source water for over one-million residents including large urban cities such as Concord, Martinez, Antioch, Pittsburg, Fairfield, Vacaville, Vallejo, Napa and others. The Delta and specifically the North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) is also the primary municipal supply to the Travis Air Force Base, one of the largest employers and economic drivers in Solano County. While the agencies are supportive of habitat restoration in the Delta, projects should: (A) Be done in a manner and sequence that does not degrade salinity and water quality for

existing municipal and agricultural users in the Delta; (B) Cumulative impacts should be minimized by implementing individual restoration projects

in a sequence that also does not degrade salinity and water quality for existing municipal and agricultural users in the Delta; and

(C) Modeling tools should be used to find design alternatives that minimize salinity and water quality impacts.

This letter provides a summary of key regional water quality concerns that should be addressed in the Lookout Slough Restoration Project – Environmental Impact Report. The overlying concern for all of the agencies listed, is the importance and protection of reliable, high quality water for the communities in Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa Counties.

1.) Municipal Users (Page IV.G-7 & 8). While the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) – Hydrology and Water Quality Section does identify diversions near the Project Site, including Reclamation District 2068 and the NBA, there is no reference to the City of Vallejo’s Cache Slough Pumping Plant located 1.5 river miles from the proposed Project. In addition, the DEIR does not discuss the importance and sensitivity of Contra Costa Water District’s (CCWD’s) four municipal intakes located at Mallard Slough, Rock Slough, Old River and Victoria Canal which can be highly influenced by hydrodynamic changes in the Delta and Suisun Marsh. In addition, it should be noted that CCWD provides municipal water to over 500,000 residents in Contra Costa County and the NBA to 500,000 residents in Napa and Solano Counties. The City of Vallejo also has water rights that predate the State Water Project (SWP) on Cache Slough, and provides municipal drinking water to over 120,000 residents within the City as well as Travis Air Force Base. 2.) Salinity & Bromide (Page IV.G-9). The DEIR discussion on salinity is considerably sparse and lacking in sufficient detail, to protect the municipal and agricultural beneficial uses in the Delta. No analyses, modeling results, or data are provided in the DEIR or Appendices for agencies to proficiently assess the Project’s Impacts. In addition, there is also no discussion, analysis, or modeling of Bromide which is of critical importance to municipal users in the Delta. When municipal water supplies are treated to meet drinking water standards, Bromide can form Bromate a known and regulated carcinogen, which can impact human health. Municipal water purveyors in the Central and South Delta, including CCWD, are highly sensitive to changes in Bromide concentration in the Delta. In the North Delta, the NBA municipal users do not currently have significant issues with Bromide. However, major land use changes such as Lookout Slough, have the potential to enhance sea water intrusion upstream of Rio Vista, and elevate Salinity and Bromide above baseline concentrations. Since many of the water purveyors utilize ozone (to deal with high levels of organics), they would be highly sensitive to changes in Bromide above baseline conditions. A more significant analysis of Salinity and Bromide is needed to evaluate and protect existing municipal and agricultural beneficial uses in the Delta. 3.) Organic Carbon (Not Included). Section G (Hydrology and Water Quality) of the DEIR does not include any discussion or analysis of Organic Carbon. While Organic Carbon may have ecological benefits, it can also have significant impacts on municipal water quality. In the drinking water treatment process, Organic Carbon can react with Chlorine to form a variety of Disinfection Byproducts including Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAAs) which are carcinogenic and harmful to human health. Throughout the Delta, municipal water purveyors are highly sensitive to changes in Organic Carbon, often measured as Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC). In the North Delta water purveyors are highly sensitive to Organic Carbon levels, as users will often need to blend or switch water sources, to maintain high water quality standards. However, some purveyors do not have the ability to blend or use alternative sources. Major land use changes such as Lookout Slough, have the potential to export Organic Carbon and/or modify hydrodynamic process that may further degrade municipal water quality. Analysis of Organic Carbon is needed to evaluate and protect existing municipal water use in the Delta.

4.) Modeling Results for Salinity for the NBA & Mallard Slough Intakes (Page IV.G-22) The DEIR states that the “RMA modeling predicts reduced EC at the Barker Slough North Bay Aqueduct intake (reductions up to five percent) and Contra Costa Water District intake at Mallard Slough (reductions up to 1.2 percent). All the other stations are predicted to have increased EC of up to 1.6 percent for at least one month per year, with the largest increases typically occurring in the fall.” While the results seem encouraging, in reviewing the DEIR and Appendices, no additional analyses, figures, model results, tables, etc. can be found to substantiate these results. In Appendix S, a 6-page qualitative memorandum from ESA was provided summarizing the Potential Salinity Impacts, however no analyses, figures, model results, tables, etc. could be found to substantiate the Appendix S or DEIR conclusions pertaining to Salinity and Drinking Water. DWR needs to provide a more detailed and transparent analyses of the Salinity Modeling results, corresponding Project Impacts, and conclusions reached in the DEIR. 5.) Modeling Analyses for Water Quality (General) In reviewing the DEIR and Appendices related to water quality, little to no information is provided on the RMA Modeling, including calibration and validation efforts, boundary conditions, SWP-CVP operations, Delta agricultural extractions, and other key assumptions. This information is important in understanding how well the model is likely to simulate the Lookout Slough Restoration Project impacts and corresponding Cumulative Impacts analysis on water quality. DWR needs to provide detailed information on the Water Quality Modeling used to analyze and assess both Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on water quality including Salinity, Bromide, and other constituents as needed. 6.) Modeling Confidence, Example (City of Vallejo P.P. at Cache Slough) As part of the DEIR review, the Solano County Water Agency requested model output information from DWR. Only the model results from the City of Vallejo Pumping Plant will be discussed in this letter, due to its close proximity to the Lookout Slough project, and to illustrate regional concerns in regards to model confidence. Figure 1 is a time series plot for July-2009 showing measured and modeled EC data for the City of Vallejo’s Pumping Plant at Cache Slough. Figure 2 is a Scatter Plot showing the Measured vs Modeled EC data for this same time period. The corresponding R2 = 0.09, which indicates very poor correlation. The two figures illustrate the challenge of the RMA model to reasonably simulate EC during typical summer conditions at the City of Vallejo’s Pumping Plant location. This is important, as the Lookout Slough project is located in close proximity to this node, and is an indication of poor model confidence. Additional model analyses, comparisons, and transparency on the model development is needed, to improve overall model confidence and ability to reasonably simulate Project Impacts on water quality.

7.) Violation of Salinity Quality – Drinking Water & Agriculture (Page IV.G-22 & 23) In regards to Salinity Quality, the DEIR concludes that there are “less-than-significant” impacts on both municipal and agricultural water supplies. However, as discussed in points 1 through 6 above, significantly more detailed and transparent analyses are required by DWR, before any reasonable Project and Cumulative Impacts can be assessed. The existing DEIR does not provide any detailed analyses, figures, model results, tables, etc. in regards to Salinity, to reach a reasonable conclusion of Project Impacts. 8.) Level of Significance after Mitigation (Page IV.G-31) The DEIR concludes “With implementation of Mitigation Measured HYDRO-1 through HYDRO-2, the Proposed Project would have less-than-significant impacts on hydrology and water quality.” Since the two mitigation measures (HYDRO-1 and HYDRO-2) only pertain to in-progress construction activities, DWR needs to address points 1 through 7 above, before any reasonable Project Impacts on Water Quality can be assessed. The existing DEIR does not provide sufficient information as detailed above, to reach a reasonable conclusion of Project Impacts, including the DEIR assessment of “less-than-significant impacts” on water quality. 9.) Cumulative Impacts – Water Quality (Page V-14) For Cumulative Impacts to Water Quality the DEIR concludes that the impacts are “less than cumulatively considerable.” However, as discussed in the points above, no additional analyses, figures, model results, tables, etc. can be found in the DEIR or Appendices to substantiate these conclusions. The existing DEIR does not provide sufficient information as detailed above, to reach a reasonable conclusion of Cumulative Impacts, including the DEIR assessment of “less-than-cumulative considerable” impacts on water quality. Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments vital to the agricultural and municipal water users in Napa, Solano and Contra Costa Counties. Across the Tri-County region, the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta is one of the most important water supplies for over one-million residents. Should DWR have any questions or seek additional clarification, please feel free to contact any of the lead wholesale agencies listed below. Thank you for taking the time to review our concerns.

February 14, 2020 Lookout Slough DEIR Attn: Heather Green California Department of Water Resources 3500 Industrial Blvd. West Sacramento, CA 95691 SCWA Comment Letter on Draft EIR for the Lookout Slough Restoration Project Dear Ms. Green, The purpose of this letter is to provide the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) comments on behalf of the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA). SCWA provides wholesale water supply to cities, special districts and State agencies in Solano County. Our agency boundary encompasses all of Solano County including portions of the legal Delta. The North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) portion of the State Water Project (SWP) delivers source water directly from the Cache Slough Complex (CSC) of the Delta to over 500,000 residents in Napa and Solano Counties includes the communities of Vacaville, Fairfield, Vallejo, Benicia, Napa, American Canyon, Calistoga, and Travis Air Force Base. While the NBA is owned and operated by DWR, SCWA has a longstanding interest in the Delta to ensure the NBA and other water supplies can provide reliable and high-quality water to the agricultural and municipal water users in Solano County. While SCWA is supportive of habitat restoration in the Delta, the Agency is concerned that the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Lookout Slough Restoration Project does not adequately address regional water quality concerns, biological impacts, and flood control impacts associated with the Project. Below is a more detailed summary of the Water Agency’s concerns. The Agency is also a participant in the regional Water Quality letter for Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa counties, which also provides detailed water quality comments for the entire Tri-County region. Concerns: 1.) Water Quality – Salinity & Bromide (Page IV.G-9) As mentioned in the regional water quality letter, the DEIR discussion on salinity is sparse and lacking in sufficient detail to protect the municipal and agricultural beneficial uses in the Delta. No analyses, modeling results, or data are provided in the DEIR or Appendices for SCWA or our member agencies to proficiently assess the Project’s Water Quality Impacts.

In addition, there is also no discussion, analyses, or modeling of Bromide which is of critical importance to the NBA. In the North Delta, the NBA municipal users do not currently have significant issues with Bromide. However, major land use changes such as Lookout Slough, have the potential to enhance sea water intrusion upstream of Rio Vista, and elevate Salinity and Bromide above baseline concentrations. When municipal water supplies are treated (particularly with ozone) to meet drinking water standards, Bromide can form Bromate a known and regulated carcinogen, which can impact human health. Since most of the NBA water purveyors utilize ozone (to deal with high levels of organics), they would be highly sensitive to changes in Bromide above baseline conditions. A more significant analysis of Salinity and Bromide is needed to evaluate and protect existing municipal and agricultural beneficial uses in the Delta, including the NBA, City of Vallejo’s Pumping Plant, and Reclamation District 2068. 2.) Water Quality – Organic Carbon (Not Included). Section G (Hydrology and Water Quality) of the DEIR does not include any discussion or analysis of Organic Carbon. While Organic Carbon may have ecological benefits, it can also have significant impacts on municipal water quality. In the drinking water treatment process, Organic Carbon can react with Chlorine to form a variety of Disinfection Byproducts including Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic Acids (HAAs) which are carcinogenic and harmful to human health. The NBA water purveyors are highly sensitive to Organic Carbon levels, as users will often need to blend or switch water sources (if possible), or aggressively treat NBA source water to maintain safe high-quality municipal drinking water standards. Additionally, the NBA currently experiences the poorest water quality throughout the entire SWP in regards to Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels, as illustrated by Figure 1. Major land use changes such as Lookout Slough, have the potential to export Organic Carbon and/or modify hydrodynamic process that may further degrade NBA municipal water quality. Analysis of Organic Carbon is needed to evaluate and protect existing municipal water use in the Delta, including the NBA. 3.) Water Quality – Modeling Results In reviewing the DEIR and Appendices related to water quality, little to no information is provided on the RMA Water Quality Modeling, including calibration and validation efforts, boundary conditions, SWP-CVP operations, Delta agricultural extractions, and other key assumptions. Additionally, the DEIR makes several conclusions in regards to Salinity at the NBA and other Delta Intakes, but no additional analyses, figures, model results, tables, etc. can be found in either the DEIR or Appendix S to substantiate these results. DWR needs to provide more transparent and detailed information on the Water Quality Modeling used to analyze and assess Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on water quality including Salinity, Bromide, and other constituents as needed. 4.) Water Quality – Modeling Confidence (City of Vallejo P.P.) As part of the DEIR review, SCWA requested model output information from DWR. To determine model confidence, measured EC data was compared to modeled EC data. Figure 2 is a time series plot for July-2009 showing measured and modeled EC data for the City of Vallejo’s Pumping Plant at Cache Slough. Figure 3 is a Scatter Plot showing the Measured vs Modeled EC data for the same time period. The corresponding R2 = 0.09, which indicates very poor correlation. The two figures illustrate the

challenge of the RMA model to reasonably simulate EC during summer (i.e. baseline) conditions at the City of Vallejo’s Pumping Plant location. This is important, as the Lookout Slough project is located in close proximity to this node, and is an indication of poor model confidence. Additional model analyses, comparisons, and transparency on the model development is needed, to improve overall model confidence and ability to reasonably simulate Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on water quality, particularly in the CSC. 5.) Water Quality – BDCP Modeling Results on Cumulative Impacts In 2015 extensive water quality modeling was conducted by DWR as part of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) – Recirculated DEIR (RDEIR). In Section 5.2.2.4 (Cumulative Impacts, Water Quality) of the RDEIR, Impact WQ-3 identifies the NBA as being negatively impacted by Bromide associated primarily with habitat restoration projects, as described below (excerpt from page 5-77 of the RDEIR).

“The primary driver of the adverse cumulative condition was the assumed amount and location of tidal habitat restoration to be implemented as part of the alternative. The amount of tidal habitat restoration assumed for Alternatives 4A, 2D, and 5A is substantially less than assumed for Alternative 4, such that it is not expected to significantly affect Delta hydrodynamics and source water fractions. However, a substantial amount of tidal habitat restoration is still anticipated to occur in the future as part of separate actions (e.g., the California Water Action Plan/EcoRestore), which could result in a greater portion of higher-bromide concentration water in the restored areas, thus contributing to elevated long-term average and drought period bromide concentrations in those areas. Thus, the cumulative condition for bromide is still considered adverse.”

Since this was the conclusion in 2015 after extensive modeling efforts by DWR, this directly conflicts with DWR’s more recent assessment on Cumulative Impacts on the Lookout Slough Project as “less than cumulatively considerable.”

Since DWR was the lead applicant for both Projects, SCWA specifically requests that DWR address this major discrepancy between the BDCP and Lookout Slough Cumulative Impact assessments on the NBA. 6.) Biological Impacts - Endangered Species (Local Diversions) One of the primary and worthwhile objectives of the Lookout Slough Restoration Project (Goals 1 & 2) is to improve food availability, rearing habitat, spawning habitat, and habitat elements for special status species such as Delta Smelt, salmonids, and other native fish. However, the DEIR and Appendices do not include any analysis, assessment, potential impacts, or recommended solutions to minimize impacts to existing agricultural and municipal users in the Delta and specifically within the CSC. Within the CSC, several public agencies including SCWA and Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (via the NBA), City of Vallejo, and Reclamation District 2068 have major diversion facilities, as well as numerous private agricultural intakes. Figure 4 is a map showing the multitude of existing agricultural and municipal diversions within the CSC. Additionally, as part of Appendix E (Good Neighbor Checklist), DWR has not adequately addressed one of the key elements, which is “…are species on the project site expected to increase markedly in abundance and move from the site to neighboring lands or waterways?”

DWR needs to adequately and transparently address the Project Impacts to Local Diversions including the NBA, City of Vallejo, RD 2068, as well as private agricultural diversions. Additional support and funding is necessary for regional projects such as the NBA Alternate Intake Project and other regional solutions, to support and achieve co-equal goals for the entire Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta including the CSC. 7.) Biological Impacts – Invasive Species One of the primary Goals of the Lookout Slough Restoration Project (Goal 1-F) is “to the greatest extent practical, avoid promoting conditions adverse to Proposed Project biological objectives, such as those that would favor establishment or spread of invasive exotic species.” However, the DEIR does not provide any Post-Project solutions, mitigation strategies, or funding mechanisms to prevent the spread of invasive species. Additionally, at the January 22, 2020 public meeting neither EIP or DWR laid out a strategy of how to mitigate invasive species. For invasive plant species, DWR and EIP suggested that the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) could manage these species. However, DBW is currently overtaxed and responsible for managing Aquatic Invasive Species throughout the entire Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta. The California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW) Lindsey Slough Restoration Project, is a great example of a “build and leave” project within the CSC, where consistent and dedicated Operation & Maintenance (O&M) funding and on-site personnel is critical for the project to succeed. Figure 5 is a photograph of the Restored Project 4-years after completion, which is choked with invasive floating Water Hyacinth as well as submerged Brazilian Waterweed. Without adequate O&M funding and availability of on-site personnel, the long-term outlook is likely to be similar for the Lookout Slough Restoration Project. DWR needs to layout a detailed and transparent plan to provide dedicated O&M funding and on-site personnel to manage invasive species throughout the Project Site and meet the specified Project Goals. There should also be periodic accountability by an independent party, to ensure Project Goals are met. 8.) Flood Control – Levee Protections and Long-Term Funding Another primary Goal of the Lookout Slough Restoration Project (Goal 3) is to “provide additional flood storage and conveyance within the Yolo Bypass to reduce the chance of catastrophic flooding and protect existing nearby infrastructure.” In the DEIR and Appendices, many assumptions are made in regards to levee impacts including tidal dampening, wave runup reductions, benefits of emergent marsh vegetation, benefits of the PG&E access roads in reducing waves, roughness coefficients, etc. However, the DEIR does not provide any details on funding mechanisms, site repairs, and/or remedies if any of the assumptions are incorrect. Additionally, some of the core aspects of Yolo Bypass levee management are (a) continuous annual maintenance and (b) immediate repairs during and post Yolo Bypass Flood Events. However, the DEIR does not provide specific details on the funding mechanisms, including annual O&M Funding, Capital Funding when larger repairs are needed, and accountability of potential impacts to neighboring Reclamation Districts including RDs 2068, 2098, and 2060. DWR needs to layout a detailed and transparent plan to provide dedicated O&M Funding, Capital Funding, and on-site personnel to meet core flood control and levee maintenance responsibilities as part of the Project. Similar to above, there should also be periodic accountability by an independent party, to ensure flood control responsibilities are met and ensure flood impacts are not translated to neighboring Reclamation Districts.

9.) Flood Control – Wind-Wave Generated Erosion (Page IV.G-26 to 28) In regards to Wind-Wave Generated Erosion, the DEIR concludes that there are “less-than-significant” impacts, and indicates that DWR will take over O&M activities of the Cache/Hass Slough Training Levee and Cross Levee. However, DWR does not layout a detailed and transparent plan in regards to dedicated O&M Funding, Capital Funding, and accountability of potential impacts to neighboring Reclamation Districts. As stated above, DWR needs to layout a detailed and transparent plan to provide dedicated O&M Funding, Capital Funding, and on-site personnel to meet core flood control and levee maintenance responsibilities. There should also be periodic accountability by an independent party, to ensure flood control responsibilities are met and ensure flood impacts are not translated to neighboring Reclamation Districts, to meet the “less-than-significant” impact stated in the DEIR. Mitigation Measures: As both a supportive and impacted public agency by the Lookout Slough Restoration Project, the Solano County Water Agency highly recommends that DWR consider the following measures, to help mitigate Project Impacts, develop regional collaboration, and move the Project forward. A.) Water Quality Modeling, General – A more detailed and transparent analysis should be done to

improve the RMA Water Quality Model for the Cache Slough Complex region. Modeling confidence needs to be improved, to allow for a more accurate, transparent, and reasonable assessment of Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts by all interested parties.

B.) Water Quality, Organic Carbon – A detailed and transparent analysis on Organic Carbon should be done in regards to Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on municipal water quality. If uncertainties exist, they should be clearly stated and acknowledged in the final EIR.

C.) Water Quality, Salinity – A more detailed and transparent analysis on Salinity should be done in regards to Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on both agricultural and municipal water quality.

D.) Water Quality, Bromide – A detailed and transparent analysis on Bromide should be done in regards to Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on municipal water quality. In addition, detailed and transparent analyses are needed to identify why there are different outcomes associated with Cumulative Impacts from the BDCP vs the current Lookout Slough Restoration Project.

E.) Biological Impacts, Local Diversions – A detailed and transparent analysis is needed to reasonably assess both Project Impacts and Cumulative Impacts on local diversions including the NBA, RD 2068, City of Vallejo Pumping Plant, and other local agricultural diversions.

It is important to note that while the NBA represents about 2% of the SWP, the vast majority of SWP Biological Opinions and Eco Restore implementation is focused in the CSC and Suisun Marsh regions, directly impacting the NBA and Napa-Solano water purveyors.

F.) Biological Impacts, Regional Solutions – DWR as well as other State and Federal stakeholders, should help fund and commit tangible resources (including bond funds) to support regional multi-benefit projects such as the NBA Alternate Intake Project and others, to achieve and sustain co-equal goals for the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta.

G.) Long-term Funding – DWR needs to provide specific details on long-term O&M Funding, Capital Funding, and On-Site personnel to provide both flood control and invasive species management.

H.) Independent Accountability – DWR needs to provide specific details on how to achieve periodic and independent accountability to meet both flood control and ecosystem Project Goals, as outlined in the DEIR.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments vital to the agricultural and municipal water users in Solano County. As mentioned above, SCWA has a longstanding interest in the Delta to ensure the NBA and other water supplies can provide reliable and high-quality water to the many agricultural and municipal water users in Solano County. The Water Agency looks forward to working collaboratively with DWR, to protect and sustain the Co-Equal Goals for the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta, including the Cache Slough Complex and Yolo Bypass region.

California governor proposes new plan for managing water

FILE ‐ In this Feb.23, 2016 file photo, people fish along the Sacramento River in the San Joaquin‐Sacramento River Delta,  near Courtland, Calif.Gov Gavin Newsom proposed new rules on Tuesday, Feb.4, 2020, to keep more water in the delta while restoring 60,000 acres of habitat for endangered species and generating more than $5billion in new funding for  environmental improvements. The framework, if approved, would be in place for 15years. RICH PEDRONC ELLI. FILEAPPHOTO SACRAMENTO, CALIF.  California's governor revealed a plan on Tuesday that would keep more water in the fragile San  Joaquin River Delta while restoring  60,000 acres of habitat for endangered species and generating  more than $5 billion in new funding for environmental improvements.  The framework announced Tuesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom is a unique approach to managing the  state's scarce water resources. Historically, California has governed water usage by issuing rules – rules that are often challenged in court by farmers or environmental groups.  Those lawsuits can drag on for years and prevent programs designed to boost sagging salmon populations and other threatened species that live in the Delta.  Instead of issuing new rules, for the past year the Newsom administration has been negotiating with water agencies to come up with “voluntary agreements” between the two sides with “partnership and oversight from environmental groups.”   

    SIGN JN  SUBSCRIBE                          ACCEPT COOKIES 

    "Today, my Administration  is proposing a path forward, one that will move past the old water  binaries and set us up for a secure and prosperous water future," Newsom wrote in an op‐ed  announcing the framework.  But some environ mental groups were skeptical. Last year, the Trump administration announced  new rules that would take more water out of the delta. The Newsom administration said it would  sue the federal government over those rules, but so far it has not done so.  Also, john McManus, president of the Golden State Salmon Association said, the framework did  not address temperature controls for the river at the time of year when salmon need cold water to  survive.  "There are definitely worrisome signals coming from today's announcement," McManus said,  Wade Crowfoot, secretary for the California Natural Resources Agency, said the state is still  negotiating with the federal government and can still file a lawsuit if their concerns are not addressed. He stressed the goal is to continue working with federal agencies to resolve the issue.  The agreements would be in place for the next 15 years. But they are not finished yet. Both sides still have to finish policy and legal issues. Plus, the State Water board must conduct a third‐party  scientific review.  "This is a promising step that will result  in additional water for the environment, "said Jeffrey Kightlinger, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. A shared, voluntary approach to balancing the beneficial uses of water from the Sierra is far better for  California's people and environment than years of litigation."  Water in the delta comes from snowmelt in the Sierra Nevada mountains and provides drinking  water for millions of people as well as irrigation for farmers throughout the state.  The framework would increase the amount of water flowing through the delta by up to 900,000  acre feet in years when conditions are dry, below normal or above normal. One acre foot of water  (43,560 cubic feet) is more than 325,000 gallons, the amount of irrigation water that would cover  one acre to a depth of one foot.  Additional flows would be less during wet years.  More water means a better environment for the states endangered salmon population, whose  numbers have reached dangerously low levels. The framework would also restore more than 60,000 acres of habitat for some of the delta's species by strategically letting rivers flow through  their natural flood plain to create wetlands.  The idea, according to California Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Chuck Bonham, is for  the wetlands to attract more bugs, which the salmon will eat and grow larger, making it more likely  they will return to breed.  "I am committing to achieving a doubling of California's salmon population by 2050," Newsom  wrote. "These agreements will be foundational to meeting that goal."  Tom Birmingham, general manager of the Westlands Water District, said previous water rules have  focused strictly on providing more water for fish.  "Unless we address all of the factors that limit the abundance of those species, we're never going to  be successful, “he said.

Solano Water Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes January 22, 2020

Present: Roland Sanford, Chris Lee, Alex Rabidoux and Jeff Barich, SCWA; Felix Riesenberg,

Fairfield; Curtis Paxton and Justen Cole, Vacaville; Kyle Ochenduszko, Benicia; Mark Quady, Vallejo; Bryan Busch, RD 2068; Misty Kaltreider, Solano County.

The meeting was called to order at 12:32 PM.

1. Approval of Minutes

The minutes of the December 10, 2019 meeting were approved.

2. SCWA General Manager’s Report On SCWA Board items, will likely have the Dixon Watershed Study on the agenda. For NBA issues, the Water Agency is currently working with DWR on Carryover amounts into 2020. Water Agency staff have calculated a total of 22-TAF of Carryover, while DWR has calculated 19-TAF of Carryover. The reason for the discrepancy is DWR is interpreting the North of Delta (NOD) allocation as available water once all of SCWA’s South of Delta (SOD) allocation is used. Roland indicated that this is counter to the Water Agency’s interpretation and greatly dilutes the value and purpose of the NOD settlement. Several of the NOD State Water Contractors (SWCs) are meeting with DWR to seek clarification on DWR’s interpretation. On other SWP issues, DWR is working on the Single Tunnel EIR and the SWCs are trying to come to agreement on who is in or out of the project. The opt-out option becomes challenging for SOD Contractors. On SWP operations, DWR’s Incidental Take Permit (ITP) is set to expire in a few weeks. DWR has filed a new ITP application that would provide an additional 250-TAF. The SWCs have stated that the new 250-TAF would also be part of the Voluntary Settlement Agreements (VSAs) for the SWP, but DWR has indicated the ITP commitment would be in addition to the VSA requirements. The SWCs are very concerned about the double dipping and loss of water supply. On the new Biological Opinions, the NBA maximum diversion was increased to 125-TAF per year with a 30-TAF cap during the spring months for Delta Smelt. For Longfin Smelt, the daily average will increase to 60-cfs to match actual operations and sizing of the BSPP. The last SWP item of interest, is Amendment 21 which includes a provision to fund local projects that permanently replaces Table A water and reallocates it to other SWCs. However, in the last thirty years no SWC has taken DWR up on this option. In regards to Water Exchanges, the Water Policy Committee is reviewing the draft exchange policy. There will likely be one more iteration before the policy is presented to the Board. On Bay-Delta issues, DWR has put forward the Draft EIR for the Lookout Slough Restoration Project. The Lookout Slough Project is a very large 3,500-acre tidal marsh restoration project within the Cache Slough Complex. The project is being managed by a private investment company, Ecosystem Investment Partners, LLC (EIP) and will be purchased by DWR as a turn-key restoration project. However, the project is in close proximity to the City of Vallejo’s Cache Slough Pumping Plant, RD 2068’s primary intake, as well as to the NBA. RD 2068 is concerned about the solvency of the neighboring RD 2098 and lost tax-base, freeboard and levee protection issues, as well as ESA species near their

2

intake which are not adequately addressed in the Draft EIR. Similar ESA concerns also exist for the NBA and City of Vallejo facilities, as well as potential water quality impacts. In regards to the Bay-Delta VSAs the process has been a rollercoaster, with the NGOs wanting additional water. The SWRCB is reviewing the current VSAs, but the analysis is very complex, and everyone is awaiting the Board’s results. On other issues, the Governor just released the 2020 Water Resiliency Portfolio, and are likely to see legislation geared towards the Portfolio. SCWA’s legislative consultant recommended that the Water Agency should comment and be aware of the key points and any conflicting concerns.

3. Groundwater Planning

For reprioritization of the Solano Subbasin, DWR agreed with the Agency’s analysis and the basin will move back to a Medium Priority basin. The Napa-Sonoma Lowlands was moved back to a Low Priority basin.

4. Solano County Report

The County and DWR approved a MOU in regards to the Lookout Slough Restoration Project. Flannery Associates is continuing to purchase additional land, including the McCormick Ranch and parcels near Travis AFB, with total acreage surpassing 23,000-acres.

5. PSC/NBA Maintenance On Jan-28 there will be a Napa-Solano NBA Coordination meeting. On Feb-12 there will be the annual DWR & NBA User meeting down in Byron, at DWR’s Delta Field Division Office.

6. Solano Water Authority Report None

7. Water Conservation None

8. Legislative/Initiative/Court Decision Issues Not Discussed Above

The Water Agency is waiting to hear back from the Court on the Putah Creek lawsuit.

9. New Business None

10. Public Comments None The next meeting will be February 26, 2019 at 12:30 PM. The meeting adjourned at 1:55 PM.

Action Item No. 2020-XX Agenda Item No. 9 ACTION OF SOLANO COUNTY WATER AGENCY DATE: March 12, 2020 SUBJECT: SCWA Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Audit ___________________________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Accept Fiscal Year 2018-2019 audit.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The Water Agency’s Fiscal Year 2018-2019 audit was performed by Mann, Urrutia, Nelson, CPAs & Associates, LLP, the results of which are summarized in the attached Independent Auditor’s Report. In their report, Mann, Urrutia, Nelson, CPAs & Associates, LLP conclude that the Water Agency’s financial statements for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 are free from material misstatement and are represented fairly in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The audit did however identify one deficiency: at total of $1,571,000 in grant receivables that as of June 30, 2019 had not yet been billed for reimbursement. Since completion of the FY 2018-2019 audit the entire amount ($1,571,000) has been billed.

ACTION OF SOLANO COUNTY WATER AGENCY DATE: March 12, 2020 SUBJECT: Creation of Assistant General Manager Position

RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Create Assistant General Manager position and Job Description. 2. Authorize General Manager to recruit and hire Assistant General Manager. FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Proposed monthly salary range 53; currently $11,846 - $14,399. BACKGROUND:

The responsibilities of the Water Agency have grown significantly over the last 10 years, along with the staff. The Water Agency currently has 20 full-time employees and as many as 20 seasonal interns at any given time. Since 2015 the Water Agency has assumed SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act) administrative responsibilities, expanded flood management and Lake Berryessa invasive mussel infestation prevention program responsibilities, and will soon be implementing the Solano Habitat Conservation Plan program. These relatively new responsibilities, on top of the long standing water supply responsibilities associated with the North Bay Aqueduct and the Solano Project, are critically important and require continuous staff attention – which they are receiving, but at a cost. Out of necessity, Water Agency staff and the General Manager in particular are focused on the “here and now”, leaving insufficient time for long-range planning/strategic development, attention to legislative matters, and coalition building in general. Recommended: ______________________________ Roland Sanford, General Manager

Approved as Other Continued on recommended (see below) next page

Modification to Recommendation and/or other actions:

I, Roland Sanford, General Manager and Secretary to the Solano County Water Agency, do hereby certify that the foregoing action was regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by said Board of Directors at a regular meeting thereof held on March 12, 2020 by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Abstain: Absent: _______________________________ Roland Sanford General Manager & Secretary to the Solano County Water Agency

Action Item No. 2020-XX Agenda Item No. 10

MAR.2020.BOD.IT.10 File: P-60

Stop gap measures taken As a stop gap measure certain tasks, most notably direct supervision of administrative staff and related “day-to-day” activities, and participation in nearly all State Water Contractors/State Water Project meetings, formally among the responsibilities of the General Manager, have been assigned to the Principal Water Resources Specialist and Principal Water Resources Engineer, respectively. In the case of the Principal Water Resources Specialist, the additional administrative staff supervisory duties are clearly outside the current job description for that position. Removing the direct supervision of administrative staff and the time consuming attendance at State Water Contractor meetings and associated responsibilities has been helpful – a partial solution - and allowed some additional time for the General Manager to focus on long-range planning/strategic development, coalition building, and legislative matters. Moving forward, it may also make sense for the General Manager to no longer be the direct supervisor of the Putah Creek Streamkeeper and the primary Water Agency representative to the Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee. Impending need for reorganization Implementation of the Solano HCP is anticipated to occur within the next nine to twelve months and when implementation does occur it will be one of the Water Agency’s largest programs, necessitating the need for at least one additional Principal level staff person whose primary if not only duty will be the management of the Solano HCP. Under the current organizational framework, that new Principal level position would also report directly to the General Manager. Clearly and even with the stop gap measures taken to date, implementation of the Solano HCP will necessitate a change in the organizational structure of the Water Agency. Staff recommends the organizational restructuring began now, with the creation of an Assistant General Manager position. Staff believes a reorganization, particularly if it were to begin now, would accomplish the following objectives: 1) Redistribute the management level workload to allow more time for the General Manager to work on other issues. 2) Create opportunities for advancement of existing Water Agency staff. 3) Facilitate succession planning (approximately 25 percent of the existing staff are at or within two years of retirement age). Proposed role of the Assistant General Manager Staff is proposing the creation of an Assistant General Manager position that would supervise the majority of technical staff, oversee routine administrative functions, and serve as the acting General Manager in the General Manager’s absence. The duties and responsibilities of the Assistant General Manager would overlap in certain areas with those of the General Manager but be more focused on the day-to-day operations of the Water Agency. Many water agencies and water districts have Assistant General Managers – in some cases multiple Assistant General Managers. Organizationally, the Assistant General Manager(s) is typically also a department head that supervises staff. Less common is where all staff report to the Assistant General Manager, with the Assistant General Manager reporting to the General Manager. Staff is proposing creation of an Assistant General Manager position that also serves as a department head. Recognizing that to be effective, the Assistant General Manager must not only manage the “day-to-day” activities of their department, but also be reasonably familiar with all activities of the organization – essentially be “on call” and ready to serve as the General Manager when the need arises - staff is proposing the Assistant General Manager position be compensated at a level that recognizes the additional “on call General Manager role” (an organizational structure also employed by the Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District). Proposed salary range and recruitment The proposed Assistant General Manager job description and associated monthly salary range (Salary Range 53: $11,846 - $14,399), which were developed by the Water Agency’s human resources consultants – Regional Government Services (RGS) – is attached. The proposed top monthly salary of the Assistant General Manager position ($14,399) is approximately 10 percent higher than the top monthly salary of the Principal Water Resources Specialist position ($13,060) and approximately 8 percent higher than the top monthly salary of the Principal Water Resources Engineer position ($13,387). Following Board authorization, staff will initiate an open recruitment with the assistance of a recruitment firm.

Authorize General Manager to execute two separate consultant contracts for completion of the Phase II Dixon Watershed Management Plan: West Yost Associates $ 95,000 Wood Rodgers $ 200,000 $ 295,000 FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Total cost: $295,000. Sufficient funding is included in the FY 2019 - 2020 Flood Control budget. BACKGROUND:

Over the last 20-years the City of Dixon (City), Dixon Resource Conservation District (Dixon RCD), Reclamation District 2068 (RD 2068), Maine Prairie Water District (MPWD) and others have collectively worked to address regional flood issues in eastern and southeastern Solano County. In 2001, with the support of the Water Agency, the Dixon Watershed Management Plan (Plan) was developed to address flooding issues in the region. The Plan identified a number of projects, many of which have been implemented, but also included projects that due to changing circumstances are no longer practical. Accordingly; the City, Dixon RCD, RD 2068, MPWD, Solano County and others are collectively working to update the Plan. As a part of the Plan update, the Water Agency previously funded the Phase I Dixon Watershed Management Plan Update Project (Phase I Update), which focused on the characterization and quantification of flood flows in the region. The proposed Phase II Dixon Watershed Management Plan Update Project (Phase II Update) will identify an array of multi-benefit regional flood solutions and associated implementation costs, and as well as potential grant funding sources. For the Phase II Update, West Yost Associates will be conducting hydraulic computer simulations, while Wood Rodgers efforts will be directed toward the identification and evaluation of potential multi-benefit flood management solutions. The proposed consultant contracts and their respective scopes of work are attached.

B.  Scope of Work | West Yost Associates (WYA)  

Task 1. Peer Review & Consultant Support The Dixon Regional Model (DRM) was originally developed in 1998 to 1999 and documented in the original Dixon Watershed Management Plan (DWMP). The Tremont 3 watershed model was extended to include the area north of I‐80 and revised in 2016 in support of the Large Detention Basin East of the Railroad (LDBER) study. WYA will provide the 1993 land use conditions and the Buildout land use conditions DRMs, a copy of the DWMP, the relevant LDBER studies, and relevant documents from Phase 1 of this study to Wood Rodgers (WR) for review. WYA will provide other information requested by WR related to the model to the extent that 1998 to 1999 files can be located in our network back‐ups or archive system. WYA will attend up to two phone meetings to discuss WR questions and comments on the model during their model review phase. For budgeting purposes, WYA has assumed that the WR review will focus on the Tremont 3 watershed, that WYA will receive one round of model comments, make model revisions to address the comments, and resubmit the model for approval. WYA has assumed this task will take no more than 52 hours.   Task 2. Model Scenario Development WYA will develop figures that schematically illustrate each scenario to be evaluated. After the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) has approved the figures, WYA will develop preliminary models for each condition (done under Task 3). For budgeting, WYA has assumed that the needed modeled conditions will include 1993 land use conditions, buildout land use conditions, an Initial Project (IP), and a Recommended Project (RP). WYA will develop draft and final figures.  Task 3. Model Runs WYA will prepare the following models:  

1993 Land Use Conditions (2‐year/1‐day, 10‐year/1‐day, 100‐year/1‐day, and 100‐year/4‐day) 

Buildout Land Use Conditions (2‐year/1‐day, 10‐year/1‐day,100‐year/1‐day, and 100‐year/4‐day) 

IP (100‐year/4‐day) 

RP (2‐year/1‐day, 10‐year/1‐day, 100‐year/1‐day, and 100‐year/4‐day) – to be developed after the alternatives have been reviewed by the stakeholders.  

 For the IP, WYA will refine the schematic figures to show the facility sizes based on the model results, develop capital cost estimates, develop annual operations and maintenance (O&M) cost estimates, and develop a table showing the water surface elevation (WSEs) and the changes in WSEs from the 1993 and buildout conditions at each model node. After receiving stakeholder input on the IP, WYA will develop and model the RP. For the 1993 land use conditions, buildout land use conditions, and the RP, WYA will prepare a table that summarizes the WSE, flooding depth, and duration for each flooding location and 

 

each storm event. WYA will submit these work products to WR and SCWA. WYA will finalize these work products by addressing comments from WR and SCWA.  Task 4. Reporting & Meetings  WYA will prepare the following technical memoranda (TM): 

Model Peer Review TM – This TM will document the model review and revisions process documenting the Task 1 work.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Dixon Watershed Management Plan, Phase 2 Update Scope of Work

Dixon Watershed Management Plan (DWMP) – Phase 2 Update

A. Purpose

To address the cumulative impacts outlined in the Technical Memorandum Addendum to the Dixon Watershed Management Plan (June-2019) for the Tremont 3 Watershed. A suite of recommendations will need to be analyzed such as detention basins, flood easements, channel enlargements, or combination thereof in addition to achieving multi-benefits such as flood control, groundwater recharge, and ecological productivity to the Delta. The report will also need to determine the financial impact associated with existing flooding, as well as the cost to mitigate drainage issues within the Northeast Quadrant (NEQ) and Agricultural Industrial Service Area (AISA).

B. Scope of Work | West Yost Associates (WYA)

Task 1. Peer Review & Consultant Support The Dixon Regional Model (DRM) was originally developed in 1998 to 1999 and documented in the original Dixon Watershed Management Plan (DWMP). The Tremont 3 watershed model was extended to include the area north of I-80 and revised in 2016 in support of the Large Detention Basin East of the Railroad (LDBER) study. WYA will provide the 1993 land use conditions and the Buildout land use conditions DRMs, a copy of the DWMP, the relevant LDBER studies, and relevant documents from Phase 1 of this study to Wood Rodgers (WR) for review. WYA will provide other information requested by WR related to the model to the extent that 1998 to 1999 files can be located in our network back-ups or archive system. WYA will attend up to two phone meetings to discuss WR questions and comments on the model during their model review phase. For budgeting purposes, WYA has assumed that the WR review will focus on the Tremont 3 watershed, that WYA will receive one round of model comments, make model revisions to address the comments, and resubmit the model for approval. WYA has assumed this task will take no more than 52 hours. Task 2. Model Scenario Development WYA will develop figures that schematically illustrate each scenario to be evaluated. After the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) has approved the figures, WYA will develop preliminary models for each condition (done under Task 3). For budgeting, WYA has assumed that the needed modeled conditions will include 1993 land use conditions, buildout land use conditions, an Initial Project (IP), and a Recommended Project (RP). WYA will develop draft and final figures. Task 3. Model Runs WYA will prepare the following models:

• 1993 Land Use Conditions (2-year/1-day, 10-year/1-day, 100-year/1-day, and 100-year/4-day)

• Buildout Land Use Conditions (2-year/1-day, 10-year/1-day,100-year/1-day, and 100-year/4-day)

• IP (100-year/4-day)

• RP (2-year/1-day, 10-year/1-day, 100-year/1-day, and 100-year/4-day) – to be developed after the alternatives have been reviewed by the stakeholders.

For the IP, WYA will refine the schematic figures to show the facility sizes based on the model results, develop capital cost estimates, develop annual operations and maintenance (O&M) cost estimates, and develop a table showing the water surface elevation (WSEs) and the changes in WSEs from the 1993 and

Dixon Watershed Management Plan, Phase 2 Update Scope of Work

buildout conditions at each model node. After receiving stakeholder input on the IP, WYA will develop and model the RP. For the 1993 land use conditions, buildout land use conditions, and the RP, WYA will prepare a table that summarizes the WSE, flooding depth, and duration for each flooding location and each storm event. WYA will submit these work products to WR and SCWA. WYA will finalize these work products by addressing comments from WR and SCWA. Task 4. Reporting & Meetings WYA will prepare the following technical memoranda (TM):

• Model Peer Review TM – This TM will document the model review and revisions process documenting the Task 1 work.

• IP TM – This TM will present the Tasks 2 and 3 work for the 1993 land use conditions, buildout conditions, and the IP.

• RP TM – This TM will present the RP work from Task 3. Each TM will be submitted as an Administrative Draft to WR and SCWA, a draft which addresses WR and SCWA comments for distribution by SCWA to the stakeholders, and a final which addresses stakeholder comments. Comments are to be provided to WYA by SCWA or WR as a single set of written, non-conflicting comments. Electronic copies of all TM files will be provided to SCWA and WR (Word, Excel, GIS, etc.). WYA will participate in the following meetings and phone calls:

• Kickoff Meeting – Conference call to discuss final scope of work, key milestones, additional stakeholder comments, and dates of initial deliverables.

• IP Evaluation – In-person meeting at SCWA to discuss (i) the results of the model peer review and (ii) the IP evaluation. The goal of the meeting will be to agree upon the preferred alternative for the RP.

• Draft Drainage Impact Fee/Mitigation – Conference call to discuss the initial results of the drainage impact fee/mitigation options and obtain stakeholder input.

• Draft Report – In-person meeting at SCWA to (i) go over the draft report and key points of the report and (ii) obtain stakeholder feedback.

• Final Presentation (x2) – WYA will prepare and present slides summarizing our work for a final presentation of the Dixon Watershed Management Plan, Phase 2 Update. WYA will give the presentation to two of the following: the SCWA Board, Dixon Regional Watershed JPA, Dixon City Council, or other meeting venue.

Dixon Watershed Management Plan, Phase 2 Update Scope of Work

C. Scope of Work | Wood Rodgers (WR)

Task 1 – Model Peer Review and Drainage Standards WR will conduct a peer review of the West Yost Associates XPSWMM model for the Tremont 3 Watershed. WR will also review drainage standards from the County, City of Dixon, RD 2068, and the Dixon RCD and develop recommendations for drainage standards within the watershed for the purposes of this analysis. WR will summarize the findings into a brief technical memorandum, which will also be incorporated into the final report. Task 2 – Quantify Past Flood Damage Evidence of past flood damage in the Tremont 3 Watershed should be evaluated based off of historical records. This task should take into account particularly wet years such as the 97 – 98 water year. This can include but not be limited to agricultural losses, flooded buildings, pump failures, levee repairs etc. WR will reach out to parties that may possess information such as Reclamation District 2068, Dixon Resource Conservation District and County Staff. Task 3 – Regional Drainage Solution WR will work with West Yost Associates to develop several Project Alternatives. It is assumed up to five alternatives will be developed, including “hard” solutions such as detention basins and channel enlargements, and “soft” solutions such as flood easements and mixed-use solutions such as land agreements with continued agricultural production. Wood Rodgers will develop alternatives based on input from stakeholders during the Project Kickoff Meeting. It is assumed that 2 stages of land development will be modeled, including full build out (100%) within the watershed, and 1993 Land Use Conditions. Wood Rodgers will develop preliminary cost estimates for each of the five alternatives. It is assumed West Yost Associates will evaluate 2-year/1-day, 10-year/1-day, , and 100-year/1-day and 100 year/4-day design storms for the IP with each of the three land development conditions. Wood Rodgers will transform model results developed by West Yost into estimates of economic benefit. The resultant cost/benefit ratios for the IP will be presented to the Project Stakeholders for refinement and selection of a Recommended Project (RP). Based upon the initial modeling results, WR in cooperation with West Yost will need to refine the preferred or recommended alternative. It is assumed one “Preferred Alternative” will be developed and carried forward for the Drainage Impact Fee Analysis in Task 4. Task 4 – Drainage Impact Fee | Drainage Impact Mitigation Based upon the preferred alternative, WR, with support by its subconsultant Larsen Wurzel & Associates (LWA) will determine the corresponding Drainage Impact Fee for the NEQ and AISA regions. To do this, WR/LWA will need to develop a cost estimate for the preferred alternative as well an estimate of the amount and types of planned development projected to take place within the AISA and NEQ regions. The analysis will calculate fees consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §66000 et. seq.) and provide all required supporting information in order to support the preparation of the required Nexus Study for the adoption of a Regional Drainage Impact Fee by the City and County. In preparing the Drainage Impact Fee calculations, LWA will work with the City and County to prepare up to three different development scenarios that address the full buildout of the NEQ region and varying levels of buildout / participation of the AISA area in the Fee Program. Upon review and consensus by the Agencies, on the preferred development scenario, LWA will finalize the required analysis to ultimately support the Fee Program adoption.

Dixon Watershed Management Plan, Phase 2 Update Scope of Work

As part of Task 4, WR and LWA will also evaluate the funding and financing strategy for the preferred alternative. This work will include a preliminary evaluation of possible non-local funding sources based upon the preferred alternative such as grants for flood control, groundwater recharge, recreation opportunities and/or ecological restoration / rehabilitation. If deemed appropriate by the Agencies, the fee calculations will reflect non-Local Funding Sources defraying the net local costs funded by the fee program. If appropriate, the technical memorandum will include recommendations for the adoption and implementation of the Fee Program and the pursuit of non-local funding. Task 5 – Reporting & Meetings WR will lead several meetings, conference calls, and direct coordination with West Yost Associates. WR will also be the primary/lead consultant in all technical memorandums and the final report. However, West Yost Associates will be providing much of the support in writing up model scenario and model run sections of the technical memorandum and final report.
