Meeting Date: March 8, 2023
Agenda Item #3a
Informational Item
Regular Board Meeting
TO: Governing Board Members
FROM: General Manager/CEO
SUBJECT: Septic-to-Sewer Conversion
RECOMMENDATION
This agenda item is for informational purposes only, no action required.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Septic systems, or Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS), have been used for
decades to dispose of wastewater generated by homes and businesses when
centralized wastewater treatment wasn’t available. A septic system is comprised of a
tank that receives the wastewater from the home where solids settle or float before the
liquid flows to a drain field for percolation into the soil. Septic systems have the
potential to contaminate groundwater and negatively impact a property due to failure or
overloading. There are approximately 1,500 septic systems in the District’s service area.
Converting septic systems to sewer systems is a State priority that has received $350
million in funding from the Budget Act of 2021. Staff is currently preparing a grant
application for fully funding the sewer main work and the work on private parcels for
converting about 600 homes from septic to sewer. The benefit to the District includes
improved groundwater quality, improved efficiency for providing sewer service due to a
larger customer base, and more wastewater going to the Sterling Natural Resource
Center for treatment to recycled water standards.
The current District Septic-to-Sewer program requires the customer to pay the full cost
of extending a sewer pipeline to their property, converting on-site plumbing and pay
sewer connection fees to the District. If successful, the State grant could pay for both
the sewer pipeline and on-site plumbing modifications. The District is evaluating
waiving sewer connection fees for Septic-to-Sewer conversions. These items are being
evaluated and will be brought back to the Board for consideration at a later date.

SUBJECT: Consider Sterling Natural Resource Center - Fourth Amendment to the
Regional Recycled Water Facilities Reimbursement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager/CEO to execute the Fourth
Amendment to the Regional Recycled Water Facilities Reimbursement Agreement with
the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC), Regional Recycled Water Pipeline (RRWP)
and Weaver Basins are currently under construction for the development of recycled
water to benefit users of the local Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin. East Valley Water
District collaborated with San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District)
to complete the RRWP and Weaver Basins. Valley District is funding the RRWP and
Weaver Basins, while East Valley Water District‘s contractor is performing the design
and construction. The Regional Recycled Water Facilities Reimbursement Agreement
(Agreement) was approved in 2019 and three subsequent amendments were executed
to define the scope and budget.
The reimbursement budget in the Agreement was based on a 30% design of the RRWP.
Several changes to the RRWP were necessary due to permitting requirements. The
permitting requirements resulted in additional cost due to cost escalation, delays, and
construction constraints based on permit conditions. An additional cost of $6,779,216 is
required to complete the RRWP. The proposed reimbursement from Valley District will
be $44,429,216. On February 14, 2023, Valley District Board of Directors approved the
Fourth Amendment to the Agreement.
AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Discussion Item
Regular Board Meeting
TO: Governing Board Members
FROM: General Manager/CEO
SUBJECT: Consider Memorandum of Understanding, Cost Share Agreement and Letter
of Funding Commitment for the Bunker Hill Basin Regional Recycled Water Feasibility
Study
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager/CEO to execute a
Memorandum of Understanding, Cost Share Agreement and Letter of Funding
Commitment related to Mitigation of Salt Loading in the Bunker Hill-B Groundwater
Basin.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) Treatment Plant will discharge recycled
water to the new Weaver Basins to recharge the Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Basin.
Other recycled water projects are planning to discharge recycled water to the Weaver
Basins through the Regional Recycled Water Pipeline. Together the Weaver Basins and
Regional Recycled Water Pipeline will be owned and operated by the San Bernardino
Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District). To collaborate salt mitigation, the
potential recycled water agencies and Valley District will work together to ensure salt
loading to the groundwater basin does not impact water supplies. Three documents are
needed to begin the collaborative effort to evaluate mitigation alternatives: 1)
Memorandum of Understanding; 2) Cost Share Agreement; and 3) Letter of Funding
Commitment.
In addition to the Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC), the San Bernardino
Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) and City of Redlands are planning to produce
recycled water for recharge. As part of the permitting process for each of these
projects, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) requires evaluation
and management of salt and nutrient loading to the groundwater basin to ensure the
water quality is protected.
Memorandum of Understanding
Valley District and the recycled water agencies (EVWD, SBMWD, and City of Redlands)
have worked collaboratively to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to
establish salt mitigation commitments necessary for the Regional Board to issue
permits. This MOU contemplates a feasibility study for a regional desalter and the
assignment of responsibility for salt mitigation to be based on mass loading of salts to

the groundwater basin.
Cost Share Agreement
The feasibility study will include conceptual design and engineering, alternative salt
mitigation strategies, benefits analysis, and economic modeling for cost share at an
estimated cost from $250,000 to $350,000. Along with the feasibility study, facilitation
services and grant application assistance will be needed at an expected cost of
$150,000. A Cost Share Agreement has been developed based on sharing the cost
equally (25% each) among Valley District, EVWD, SBMWD, and City of Redlands for the
work associated with the feasibility study, facilitation services, and grant application
assistance which has an estimated cost of $400,000 to $500,000.
Letter of Funding Commitment
Valley District and the recycled water agencies will be applying for a grant from the
United States Bureau of Reclamation that could fund 50% of the cost of the feasibility
study and associated facilitation services. The application requires that a Letter of
Funding Commitment be provided.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE
MITIGATION OF SALT LOADING IN THE BUNKER HILL-B MANAGEMENT ZONE
BY AND BETWEEN
SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT,
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT, AND CITY OF REDLANDS
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Mitigation of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS, Salt)
Loading in the Bunker Hill-B Management Zone is entered into and effective on the 25th day of January,
2023 among the following listed Signatories: San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (“Valley
District”), East Valley Water District (“EVWD”), City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (“San
Bernardino”), and City of Redlands (“Redlands”), collectively referred to as the “Parties”.
Recitals
A. In 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a Recycled Water Policy that
encourages public agencies to recycle municipal wastewater as it becomes an increasingly
valuable source of water for the State. The Recycled Water Policy was amended in 2018 to
encourage development of groundwater recharge projects using recycled water.
B. The Recycled Water Policy requires evaluation and management of salt and nutrient loading to
groundwater as a result of basin-wide recycled water use for irrigation and/or recharge. Groundwater recharge project proponents are required to participate in applicable salt and
nutrient management planning efforts.
C. The Recycled Water Policy also requires Antidegradation Analysis (State Water Resources Control
Board Resolution 68-16) for all groundwater recharge projects to determine if assimilative capacity is available for projected salt and nutrient loading. Individual projects are permitted to
consume up to 10% of available assimilative capacity in a basin, while multiple projects may consume up to 20% of available assimilative capacity.
D. Valley District is constructing the Regional Recycled Water Facilities which includes a recycled water conveyance system and a groundwater recharge facility known as the Weaver Basins. The
conveyance system will allow recycled water to be conveyed from EVWD and San Bernardino facilities to the Weaver Basins.
E. EVWD is constructing Sterling Natural Resource Center, a new water reclamation facility that will recycle wastewater from EVWD’s service area and recharge it via Weaver Basins into Bunker Hill-B
Groundwater Management Zone.
F. San Bernardino is developing the Tertiary Treatment System, which will produce recycled water from the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) with the intent of beneficially using in and around WRP for general plant use and irrigation. Valley District’s recycled conveyance
system will convey recycled water from the WRP and will also convey recycled water produced by EVWD via a future pipe connection to Valley District’s conveyance system for recharge via Weaver
Basins into Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone.

G. Redlands has existing Waste Discharge Requirements for treatment and discharge of recycled
water from its service area into Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone. Phase 2 expansion
of its Redlands Wastewater Treatment Facility will increase recycled water discharges via Redlands Basins.
H. The Parties believe that through their cooperative work, they can treat and discharge recycled
water in a manner that will maximize benefits to the Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management
Zone, the Parties, and their ratepayers.
I. Using recycled water to replenish the Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone provides a
drought tolerant water supply that improves water supply reliability for the Parties and the region and also provides a drought buffer for those agencies in the event of a prolonged drought.
J. The Parties, together with a number of other water agencies, are working together to develop a
collaborative regional plan – the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan – that supports increasing the use of recycled water for groundwater replenishment and other purposes, while also managing groundwater quality to provide the maximum benefits to
the people of the State.
K. The Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan is a multi-year effort and will not be complete before the Parties – namely EVWD’s Sterling Natural Resources Center, and potentially San Bernardino’s Tertiary Treatment System and Redlands’ Phase 2 expansion of its
Redlands Wastewater Treatment Facility – require executed Waste Discharge Requirements for the recycled water discharge projects listed above. This MOU is intended to establish and
implement salt mitigation commitments for the Parties, to be reflected in the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan. Salt mitigation commitments may include
regional groundwater quality monitoring, brine line discharge for high-TDS industries, optimized chemical use at wastewater treatment/reclamation facilities, a regional recycled water desalter, and enhanced upstream recharge of low-TDS water.
L. The Parties wish to establish and agree to a framework for their working collaboratively toward
mitigation of salt loading that will occur due to all the Parties’ recycled water recharge operations within the Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone, prior to the implementation of the
Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan.
Agreements
1. The Parties agree that they will work together in good faith to develop and implement a regional
approach to salt mitigation in Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone, prior to the
implementation of the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan. This may include a regional recycled water desalter and associated brine line, enhanced upstream
recharge of low-TDS water, or other regional project constructed via partnership between all
Parties that contribute salt loading to the basin.
2. The Parties agree that assignment of responsibility for salt mitigation shall be based on mass
loading of salts to the basin by the Parties’ recycled water contributions and overall benefit to the
basin and its stakeholders, as calculated through a mutually agreeable Antidegradation Analysis
or similar effort.
Page 3 of 5
3. The Parties will continue to participate in the development of the Upper Santa Ana River
Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan to manage salt and nutrient loading in the broader San Bernardino Basin Area and will support mitigation strategies for Bunker Hill-B Groundwater
Management Zone in accordance with the responsibility structure set forth in paragraph 2.
4. The Parties will conduct collaborative reporting and assessment to document the assimilative
capacity that is consumed by the Parties’ recycled water recharges. Annually, each Party shall
provide total discharge volumes and TDS concentrations to a mutually agreeable third party who
shall calculate mass loading by each Party and calculate use of available assimilative capacity,
both individually and cumulatively.
5. The Parties will collaborate on a Feasibility Study (conceptual design and engineering, alternative salt mitigation strategies, benefits analysis, economic modeling for cost share) for a regional
recycled water desalter, to be completed by December 2024. The regional recycled water desalter will be defined in this Feasibility Study to serve as supporting documentation for funding pursuits.
6. The Parties agree to develop and execute a Funding Agreement for cost share of the Feasibility Study in Item 5 by March 2023.
7. Wastewater that goes through advanced water treatment processes (reverse osmosis) and is recharged to the Bunker Hill basin has additional regional benefits by contributing to removal of
multiple water quality constituents that may be of concern to the Parties. The Parties shall also consider these regional benefits in the design of the regional recycled water desalter or other salt
mitigation strategy.
8. The Parties will collaborate on development of a Salt Mitigation Implementation Plan for Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone, to be completed and submitted to Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board by June 2025, which defines the selected mitigation strategy,
operations, roles and responsibilities, cost share, and schedule.
9. The Parties will use 285 mg/L ambient TDS concentration as an “action limit” – once 10% of available assimilative capacity (5 mg/L increase over 280 mg/L ambient condition 1) is used in
Bunker Hill-B Groundwater Management Zone, based on the collaborative reporting and assessment completed annually, the Parties shall begin implementation (final design and
construction) of the regional desalter. Based on current modeling results, with implementation of
a regional desalter, the action limit is expected to be reached in year 2027.
10. The Parties will ensure that the salt mitigation measures are constructed and operational by the
time 20% of available assimilative capacity (10 mg/L increase over 280 mg/L ambient condition 2)
is consumed. Based on current modeling results, prior to construction and start-up of the regional
desalter, total allowable assimilative capacity is expected to be reached in 2031. Construction of

Watershed for the Period 1999-2018

Page 4 of 5
the regional recycled water desalter or other salt mitigation strategy will be completed by the end
of 2031, with operation beginning in January 2032. With implementation of a regional recycled
water desalter, cumulative TDS loading from the four regional partners will not exceed total allowable assimilative capacity within the model timeframe (60 years).
11. Should the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Salt & Nutrient Management Plan analysis and
findings be accepted by regulatory agencies in the future, and with consensus of the Regional
Water Quality Control Board, the Parties may amend this MOU to revise the “mitigation
strategies” in Paragraph 1 and/or “action limits” identified in Paragraphs 9 and 10 in order to be
consistent with the Plan.
12. The Parties will collaborate via committee made up of the General Managers of each of the four
Parties, or their designees. All decisions shall be made on a unanimous basis.
13. The Parties hereby authorize their respective General Managers or designees to develop administrative and operating rules and procedures that may be needed to implement the terms of this MOU.
14. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications required or permitted under this MOU
