Meeting Date: September 23, 2015
Public Hearing
To: Governing Board Members
From: General Manager/CEO
Subject: Resolution 2015.21 Adopt One Water One Watershed 2.0 Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2015.21, thereby adopting the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority One
Water One Watershed (OWOW) 2.0 Plan.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
In July 2015, the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) Project 22 Committee
approved a pass through of Prop 84 grant funds for East Valley Water District to offset the cost of
implementing Water Budget Based Rates approved by the Board on March 25th, 2015.
As a condition of receiving this grant funding, and in accordance with requirements of the funding
agreement between SAWPA and the Department of Water Resources, East Valley Water District
has been asked to adopt SAWPA’s Integrated Regional Water Management Plan entitled ‘One
Water One Watershed (OWOW) 2.0’. The OWOW 2.0 plan reflects a collaborative effort by
agencies and other stakeholders within the Santa Ana Watershed to shift from a goal of affordable
water for a growing economy, which relied on imported water, to a strategy of water demand
reduction.
One idea promoted by the plan to help reduce demand, is the implementation of rate structures
that encourage conservation. East Valley Water District’s Water Budget Based Rates were
designed precisely for that purpose, making the cost of implementing the rates eligible for SAWPA
reimbursement provided EVWD adopts the OWOW 2.0 plan. The executive summary of the
OWOW 2.0 Plan is attached, and the entire 1,500 page plan document has been made available
for public inspection on CD. In addition, the public notice requirements under Government Code
§6066 have been met, allowing the Board to consider and adopt Resolution 2015.21 and OWOW
2.0 at this public hearing. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2015.21 adopting SAWPA’s
OWOW 2.0 Integrated Regional Water Management Plan.
AGENCY IDEALS AND ENDEAVORS:

1 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
The Santa Ana River Watershed faces enormous challenges as it strives to adapt to changing conditions,
many of which are at an unprecedented scale in its modern history. The watershed’s population, already
one of the most densely populated in the State, continues to grow and urbanize, increasing demands on
water supply, water quality, and flood management. Even with its plentiful groundwater resources,
several basins now are experiencing declining groundwater levels and overdraft conditions. With the
uncertainties of climate change and its impacts, environmental concerns are taking even greater
precedence than they ever have in the past, affecting how we manage water for the future.
Most agree that the water management approaches of the past several decades are no longer
sustainable in today’s environment and economic climate. And most agree that a more integrated and
collaborative approach to water resource management will show tremendous promise to water
resources everywhere. But in the Santa Ana River Watershed, this approach is not new; it has been our
practice and legacy since the first integrated plan was approved by the Santa Ana Watershed Project
Authority (SAWPA) Commission in 1998.
In a nutshell, the goal of yesteryear was affordable water for a growing economy. But over time, the
goal has changed to become a more complicated balancing act of environmental sustainability, quality
of life and, economic growth in a changing environment dominated by water and financial scarcity. The
strategy to achieve this goal is integrated water management. This means the various silos of water
supply, flood management, water quality, ecosystem restoration, and recreation are brought together
as one. Another way to think about it is that while the drop of water may at different times be
characterized by different elements, it is still the same drop of water.
2 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
The benefits of this approach are better coordination
across functions that are often managed separately and
across a broader geographic scale larger than the
boundaries of individual agencies. Through integration at
the watershed scale, economic and environmental
performance is more effectively balanced. This water
resource planning approach based on a watershed basis
has even been recognized by independent review,
objective and nonpartisan research organizations such as
the Public Policy Institute of California, which cited
SAWPA as an excellent example of integrated water
management in the State.
The Santa Ana River Watershed continues to progress
with many “bright spots” and pilot projects accomplished to date. The use of sophisticated “big data”
analytics continues to set us apart, resulting in a more robust watershed and a very competitive position
to compete for State and Federal funds.
The “One Water One Watershed” (OWOW) 2.0 Plan is the Santa Ana River Watershed’s integrated
regional water management (IRWM) plan. This plan reflects a collaborative planning process that
addresses all aspects of water resources in a region or watershed, in our case. It includes planning of
future water demands and supplies over a 20-year time horizon within the watershed as a hydrologic
and interconnected system. The plan represents collaboration across jurisdictions, and political
boundaries involving multiple agencies, stakeholders, individuals, and groups; and attempts to address
the issues and differing perspectives of all the entities involved through mutually beneficial solutions.
The plan reflects a new suite of innovative approaches that instead of relying solely on continued
imported water deliveries to meet growing water demands in the region, is leading with a water
demand reduction strategy. These approaches include the following:
Multi-beneficial projects and programs that are linked together for improved synergy
Proactive innovative, and sustainable solutions
Integrated regional solutions supporting local reliability and local prioritization
Watershed based project and programs that effectively leverage limited resources, promote
trust and produce a greater bang for the buck
Integrates water supply, water quality, recycled water, stormwater management, water use
efficiency, land use, energy, climate change, habitat, and disadvantaged communities and tribes
Coordinates resources so that water is used multiple times
o Manages stormwater for drinking water
o Treats wastewater for irrigation and groundwater replenishment
o Builds or modifies parks to support water efficiency, ecosystem habitat, and stormwater
capture
o Improves water quality pollution prevention
o Addresses energy and water nexus
SAWPA ‘s approach –
coordination, cooperation,
and integration of water
agencies to pool resources
and manage water at the
basin scale-is one of
California’s best models
for integrated water
management.

“Managing California’s Water – From
Conflict to Reconciliation”
3 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
The OWOW 2.0 Plan was funded by the SAWPA member agencies with grant funding assistance from
the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) through the Proposition 84 IRWM Planning Grant
program, and a funding partnership from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) through their
Basin Studies program. Work with Reclamation, the State, local and non-profit organizations provided
the OWOW 2.0 Plan with the necessary resources to expand outreach and support that ultimately will
create more cost effective integrated water resource management solutions.
In the final analysis, the prescription for success is clear; we need to “double down” on integrated water
management, strengthen the alignment among all government agencies, and invest in innovation and
infrastructure. For the Santa Ana River Watershed, the road map for this success is our IRWM plan
known as the OWOW Plan.
The emphasis of this new OWOW 2.0 Plan is that all people are encouraged to adopt a water ethic that
focuses on understanding where their water comes from, how much they use of it, what they put into
water, and where it goes after they finish using it. To meet growing water demands in the region, a new
suite of approaches to planning are needed now that lead with a water demand reduction strategy.
Analysis and Support Tools
To support implementation of the OWOW 2.0 Plan, SAWPA in conjunction with its funding partners,
conducted research and analyses on climate change impacts to the watershed, and developed a variety
of new computer support tools to support our modern water management goals. Under this Plan, new
resource tools and analyses were developed to help water resource managers adapt to changing climate
conditions, support project proponents in better integrated solutions, assist analysis of watershed
performance over time, and provide the public better access to water quality for beneficial use.
Through the work of Reclamation, an interactive climate change modeling tool was developed to
provide water planners with information on potential impacts of climate change within the Santa Ana
River Watershed. This tool provides a simplified modeling framework for evaluating climate change
impacts, as well as mitigation/adaptation alternatives. The climate change tool enables the user to
explore, identify, and download custom climate change data for various scenarios modeled for the Santa
Ana River Watershed. Some of the results of the climate change analysis for the watershed that address
common public concerns are as follows:
Will surface water supply decrease?
Annual surface water is likely to decrease over future periods.
Precipitation is projected to show long-term slightly decreasing trends.
Temperature is projected to increase, which will likely cause increased water demand and
reservoir evaporation.
Snow melt water runoff is projected to decrease.
Will I still be able to go skiing at Big Bear Mountain
Resorts?
The projected warmer temperatures would result
in a delayed onset and shortened ski season. Both
4 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Big Bear Mountain Resorts lie below 3,000 meters and are projected to experience declining
snowpack that could exceed 70% by 2070.
How many more days over 95°F are expected in Anaheim, Riverside, and Big Bear City?
By 2070, it is projected that the number of days above 95°F will quadruple in Anaheim (4 to 16
days) and nearly double in Riverside (43 to 82 days). The number of days above 95°F at Big Bear
City is projected to increase from zero days historically to four days in 2070.
Another powerful tool that Reclamation developed under the OWOW 2.0 Plan is an interactive green
house gas (GHG) modeling tool to provide water planners and the public about the impacts of GHG
within the Santa Ana River Watershed. This tool enables the user to explore, identify and download
custom GHG data for a suite of water technologies modeled for the Santa Ana River Watershed. It also
will exhibit energy consumption in the delivery and treatment process with relation to water. In
accordance with AB – 32, which requires regions to reduce their overall GHG emissions, the tool also
evaluates both water supply and demand in the Santa Ana River Watershed. This tool will prove to be
very useful within the watershed because it allows users to calculate different scenarios, which can be
used to compare each outcome and result. Further, the tool can be adapted to individual projects and is
anticipated for use in future GHG emissions calculations by project proponents.
Santa Ana River Watershed Water Quality Tools
SAWPA, partnering with the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and local stakeholders, has
developed a suite of tools to provide water planners and the public access to water quality information
relating to designated beneficial uses, water quality objectives, and water quality data for water bodies
and waterways within the Santa Ana River Watershed.
Watershed Assessment Tool, Plan Performance and Monitoring
In order to track progress, SAWPA has developed a system to
monitor the implementation of the OWOW Plan and projects
implemented under OWOW. The monitoring takes place at two levels,
the plan level and project level, to:
Ensure progress is being made toward meeting objectives of the Plan
Ensure specific projects identified in the Plan are being implemented as
planned in terms of schedule, budget, and technical specifications
Identify potential necessary modifications to the Plan or to specific projects,
to more efficiently and effectively accomplish the goals and objectives of the Plan
Provide transparency and accountability regarding the disbursement and use of funds for
project implementation
To tie the plan and project monitoring together, SAWPA recognized the need for an interface process of
measuring progress on meeting the goals and objectives, as well as the health of the Santa Ana River
Watershed. SAWPA engaged the services of the Council for Watershed Health, a nonprofit organization,
and Dr. Fraser Shilling of the University of California, Davis to develop a watershed assessment
framework for the Santa Ana River Watershed. The Council and Dr. Shilling worked with the OWOW
Pillars, workgroups of experts and stakeholders organized generally based on water resource
management strategies, to update the watershed management goals, establish planning targets, and
5 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
utilize data indicators from existing datasets to track progress. With the input of SAWPA staff, a new
tracking computer tool was created, incorporating this work that will allow managers to evaluate and
assess progress, and assure actionable results for implementation.
Vision, Mission and Challenges
Under OWOW 1.0, the vision for the watershed was developed and continues under the OWOW 2.0
Plan as follows:
1. A watershed that is sustainable, drought-proofed and salt-balanced by 2035, and in which water
resources are protected and water is used efficiently
2. A watershed that supports economic and environmental viability
3. A watershed that is adaptable to climate change
4. A watershed in which environmental justice deficiencies are corrected
5. A watershed in which the natural hydrology is protected, restored, and enhanced
6. A water ethic is created at the institutional and
personal level
The mission of the OWOW Plan is to create opportunities
for smarter collaboration to find sustainable watershed-
wide solutions among diverse stakeholders from
throughout the watershed. Clinging to the path of
yesteryear will place us at greater risk of producing results
with limited impact and unintended consequences. Our
21st Century plan creates a blueprint for more effective
water resource management by using data and tools to
keep us better informed and allowing us to be more
productive in using less energy and producing less GHG
emissions.
To achieve this vision and mission, stakeholders must address four major threats, which we have
dubbed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: 1) Climate Change resulting in reduced water supplies
combined with increased water needs in the region; 2) Colorado River Drought Conditions resulting in
pressures on imported supply due to upper basin entitlements and continued long-term drought; 3) San
Joaquin-Bay Delta Vulnerability resulting in loss of supply due to catastrophic levee failure or changing
management practices of the Delta; and 4) Population Growth and Development resulting in
interruptions in hydrology and groundwater recharge while increasing water needs.
To implement OWOW 2.0 and adjust to current affairs, SAWPA and stakeholders needed to adapt to
address the new challenges, the Energy and Fiscal Crises. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse herd
has grown to six. The Fiscal Crisis reflects the impacts of the Great Recession commonly marked by a
global economic decline that began in December 2007, and took a particularly sharp downward turn in
September 2008. Some say the epicenter was the Inland Empire. By late 2013, the recession remains a
part of our lives resulting in far fewer State and Federal funds, and State bond funding being deferred
each year as the realization that they would not likely be supported by the California electorate.
6 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Recent energy developments such as the closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, have
forced us to recognize the water-energy nexus and the need to address our energy needs and escalating
costs for delivering energy. Energy costs can be reduced by water agencies through energy efficiency
measures, while teaching the public that water conservation equates to energy conservation and thus
money saved.
Goals, Objectives,
Targets and Indicators
As previously stated, in order to
achieve the watershed’s vision,
the Pillars worked with the
Council of Watershed Health on
updating the goals and
objectives for the OWOW 2.0
Plan as part of the new
watershed assessment
framework.
The Pillars and the Council
selected five areas: water
supply, hydrology, open spaces,
beneficial uses, and effective
and efficient management.
Using these newly defined goals
and objectives, an assessment
process was established that will
assure actionable results for
implementation.
Thereafter, the new goals and
objectives were shared with the
Steering Committee for their
acceptance. Planning targets
within the watershed along with
data indicators were developed
to track progress and allow
measurement of the extent to
which the plan objectives are
being met. To achieve the
updated goals and objectives,
resource and broad
management strategies were investigated through work of the Pillars. Quantifiable planning targets
were developed in conjunction with the 20-year planning horizon of Year 2035.
7 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
The targets and indicators are listed in Chapter 4.3, Planning Targets.

OWOW Planning Process
SAWPA officially launched its OWOW 2.0 planning effort on April 20, 2011, with the signing ceremony of
the agreement with Reclamation. The work commenced in earnest with the first meeting with the Pillar
Co-chairs. Regular workshops throughout the watershed were held with more than 100 agencies and
non-profit organizations spanning Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties. From the very
beginning, the process has been open to and has received the participation of representatives from all
8 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
geographic regions and political jurisdictions within the watershed, and from diverse representatives of
different sectors of the community (governments, water agencies, the development and environmental
community, and the public).
As with the OWOW 1.0 Plan development, the OWOW 2.0 Plan utilized a “bottom up” approach for
governance and involvement. Every effort was made to encourage the development of a shared vision
and the involvement and participation of all watershed stakeholders in key discussions of major water
resource issues, concerns, problems, goals, and objectives, with a particular focus on supporting multi-
beneficial system-wide implementation. By expanding the involvement and collaboration to the on-the-
ground level, greater buy-in and support were realized for this planning development process.
OWOW 2.0 Governance
As with OWOW 1.0, the OWOW 2.0 Plan is led by an 11-member Steering Committee composed of
elected officials from counties and cities in the watershed, representatives from the environmental,
regulatory, and business communities, and representatives from SAWPA.
The Steering Committee’s role is to serve as the developer of integrated regional water management
goals and objectives for the watershed, and to act as the oversight body that performs strategic decision
making, crafts and adopts programmatic suites of project recommendations, and provides program
advocacy necessary to optimize water resource protection for all.
The Steering Committee is supported by technical experts assembled into ten groupings (known as
Pillars), generally aligned along major water resource management strategies, but renamed under the
OWOW 2.0 Plan to reflect greater integration and synergy.

While SAWPA facilitates the planning process and provides technical input and support through its staff
and consultants, the development of the goals and strategies of the Plan, as well as the decision making
process, are under the purview of the Steering Committee and the SAWPA Commission, with support of
the Pillars and with consideration to comments from the public.
Pillar Work and Key Findings
Under OWOW 2.0, more emphasis is being placed on the watershed scale, and multi-benefit and multi-
purpose solutions. Multi-beneficial projects and greater diversification of water management
approaches are achieved through greater collaboration and cooperation, building trust among
stakeholders, viewing the watershed as a hydrologic whole, working in concert with nature, and seeing
each problem as interrelated that provides opportunities for synergy and efficiencies. These OWOW
guiding principles were shared with the Pillars and the watershed stakeholders on multiple occasions.
In preparation for the next phase of OWOW 2.0 planning, SAWPA directed that the OWOW 2.0 Plan was
not intended to be merely an update of previous planning data from the OWOW 1.0 Plan, but rather
would focus on identifying integrated and watershed-wide implementation actions. To achieve this,
SAWPA conducted innovative brainstorming processes with the Pillars utilizing the experience and skills
of local experts to inspire and promote integrated system-wide implementation actions that address
water resource challenges in the Santa Ana River Watershed.
Starting in September of 2011, three well known water resource experts dubbed the “Master
Craftsmen”, were tasked to develop a list of conceptual project concepts and to describe the spatial,
temporal, regulatory, economic, political, and physical barriers that impair the ability to implement
10 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
watershed-based implementation actions that support the vision articulated in the OWOW Plan. From
these Master Craftsmen meetings, a white paper was developed that identifies 13 key examples of
watershed-based water resource management concepts that, when implemented, would provide
tangible and measurable benefits by removing impairments. These watershed-based concepts are ideas,
vetted by the Pillars, and provide significant additional benefits such as habitat restoration and
increased habitat connectivity. Two types of concepts were included: (1) those that require
implementation of capital projects, and (2) those that are programmatic and focus on establishment of
regional management practices or policies that increase sustainability of existing resources.
These ideas and concepts were approved by the Steering Committee and the SAWPA Commission.
Thereafter, the Pillars commenced their respective meetings over the following 18 months of the
OWOW 2.0 planning. They investigated new regional implementation actions within their Pillars that
could lead to multiple, integrated benefits that, in turn, could be linked and integrated with other Pillar
implementation actions. In addition to conceptual implementation actions, the Pillars developed key
findings that will support implementation described as follows:
Water Use Efficiency Pillar – Key Findings
Water use efficiency practices remain the number one water resource management priority for the
watershed.
Agencies and their partnerships with each other and private industry will continue to collaborate
and develop new programs promoting water use efficiency.
The ultimate goal will be to get water customers to automatically base decisions on what is the most
water efficient way to plan, implement, and maintain devices and landscapes. This will require
customer education and continued incentives to promote water use efficiency.
Landscape demonstrates the greatest potential for water savings. Therefore, the Water Use
Efficiency Pillar will move forward with collaborative projects that primarily emphasize outdoor
efficient use of water.
Water Resource Optimization Pillar - Key Findings
Based on the work of the Water Resource Optimization Pillar, the projected supplies and demands for
the average year are as follows:
11 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
A key finding from this Pillar’s analysis is that with implementation of the 20% water demand reductions
by 2020, as well as a reliability margin of 10%, water supplies will be adequate to meet demands
through the 20-year planning horizon or Year 2035. This evaluation also was conducted for the single
year, the historical year that received the lowest amount of imported water, and the multi-year drought,
three- year period that received the lowest amount of imported water. Their findings show that the
watershed in the aggregate will be able to meet its demands in a single year drought with a reliability
margin of 11% in 2035, and for a multi-year drought of 13% in 2035. The watershed is able to make it
through these drought years by relying on the native water, precipitation as surface water and
precipitation as groundwater, and imported water storage programs that store water when it is
available during wet periods for use during drought periods, and on recycled water that is not impacted
by weather.
The Water Resource Optimization Pillar concludes that there is more to be done to ensure water supply
reliability for the future. This is particularly true in the face of climate change that may impact local
precipitation patterns, the need for intra-basin transfers to maintain groundwater levels, the State-
defined mandate for regions to become less dependent on Delta imported water, and a significant
funding requirement of water use efficiency and infrastructure to meet future demands.
Beneficial Use Assurance Pillar - Key Findings
Surface water quality monitoring is not coordinated within the watershed leading to duplicative
sampling in some areas and inadequate sampling in others. Work on a plan to improve coordination
and development of a regional approach to monitoring that will generate better information and be
less expensive.
New statewide regulations setting biological objectives and nutrient objectives for surface water are
being developed and will be a compliance challenge for wastewater agencies. Participate in rule
making process to support development of policies and regulations that are effective and efficient.
12 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
A small number of small water systems in operation within the watershed that do not have
resources for monitoring and proper operations and maintenance, may result in drinking water
provided to customers that is in violation of drinking water standards. Work with California
Department of Public Health and county health departments to identify small system water
providers, if any, which need assistance with providing safe drinking water. Develop a plan to
address any small system water providers that need assistance.
Sediment deposition in some areas creates water quality impairments, reduces aquatic habitat, and
reduces water conservation storage. Reduced sediment flow downstream of dams causes armoring
of river/creek beds resulting in reduction in percolation capacity, aquatic habitat, and beach
replenishment. Support USACE/OCWD Prado Basin Sediment Management Demonstration Project
and Newport Bay Stakeholders to reduce sediment load into Upper Newport Bay.
Land Use and Water Planning Pillar – Key Findings
Water supply agencies should be consulted early in the land use decision-making process regarding
technology, demographics and growth projections.
City and county officials, the watershed stakeholders, Local Agency Formation Commissions, special
districts and other stakeholders sharing watersheds should collaborate to take advantage of the
benefits and synergies of water resource planning at a watershed level.
Plans, programs, projects and policies affecting land use and water should be monitored and
evaluated to determine if the expected results are achieved and to improve future practices.
Limited, accessible, and low-cost, outdoor recreational opportunities should be promoted
throughout the watershed.
Stormwater: Resource and Risk Management Pillar – Key Findings
Comprehensive and integrated stormwater management projects driven by a multi-stakeholder
project paradigm can more effectively and efficiently address watershed needs. Such projects can
assist stakeholders to achieve compliance with the Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Permits (MS4 Permits), while increasing capture of stormwater and
other flows and groundwater recharge using favorable cost benefit approaches.
Reducing the risk of loss of life and property damage due to flooding remains a high priority within
the Santa Ana River Watershed. The completion of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project will reduce
the risk of a catastrophic flood event in the Santa Ana River Watershed. However, there remains
significant flood risk related to tributary watercourses within the watershed, compounded by
potential impacts of wildfires and earthquakes.
Natural Resources Stewardship Pillar – Key Findings
A plan for sustainable management of conservation areas with targeted restoration efforts is
essential for preventing further deterioration of habitat. Consideration for characteristics of each of
the main habitat types: Chaparral/forest, Alluvial fan; Riparian, Wetland, and Coastal and their
specific ecosystems, require habitat-specific management plans and restoration criteria.
Creating sustainable wildlife corridors requires land use planning coordinated across jurisdictional
boundaries. Cooperation also must take place among all of the current regional conservation plans,
mitigation providers, resource conservation districts, and non-profit conservation organizations.
13 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Consensus among all agencies and organizations with ownership/stewardship over areas of the
Santa Ana River Mainstem and tributaries should be sought that provides for long-term protection
of areas where habitat restoration efforts are occurring or need to occur. This kind of cooperative
agreement will be critical to the ability of governmental and non-profit organizations to secure
mitigation funding to do the necessary habitat restoration work needed in the watershed.
Grant and bond funding in the watershed have funded the removal of thousands of acres of invasive
plants, initial and ongoing restoration of habitat areas, biological monitoring of sensitive species,
and conservation of habitat areas. All of these sources and more should continue to support
restoration and ongoing maintenance.
Much of the remaining invasive plant biomass and areas that could benefit from re-establishment
activities (removal of invasive species followed by long-term, active planting and biological
monitoring) in the watershed is on land owned by Federal, State, and local governments for
purposes other than water-oriented habitat conservation. These are prime lands for future habitat
restoration projects with multi-use and benefit.
Operational Efficiency and Water Transfers Pillar – Key Findings
Expand compliance with the SBx7-7 and implement projects that reduce per capita water usage by
more than 20 percent by the year 2020.
Create/ expand supply and system reliability during drought, emergency, and peak demand
situations.
Create/expand coordination with other agencies in the area and develop regional water
management strategies that would increase conservation and local water supplies.
Create/expand local recycled water reuse program(s) in the area with an OWOW 2.0 goal of 157,000
acre feet per year.
Develop/Implement projects that protect groundwater resources, the environment and consider
storage and transfers. These projects are important to assure that water is readily availability in the
right place when we need it. This can be overcome with storage and transfers.
Disadvantaged and Tribal Communities Pillar – Key Findings
Engaging Disadvantage Communities (DACs) and Tribes in water and related resources planning
through effective outreach is good for both the community and the water sector itself. There are
distinct differences due to cultural and historic context. Both need their voices heard during
proposed project development.
Today, DACs and some Tribes face critical and serious water and related resources challenges, such
as failing septic systems, isolation, language barriers, flood risk, and lack of funding and or resources.
It is imperative that the water sector and its key stakeholders recognize proposed DAC and Tribe
water project needs, and engage these communities early in the process. The OWOW 2.0 process
recognizes the various funding needs for DACs and Tribes, and the Federal and State funding
programs available to them.
From engaging and speaking with DAC residents and attending Tribal Council meetings, it is evident
that there is a need for continuous networking resulting in consensus based development and
implementation of project solutions.
14 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Government Alliance Pillar – Key Findings
Ensure that Federal and State agencies effectively partner in the management of water and other
resources within the watershed, and consider other Pillars’ perspectives in their support of OWOW
goals and objectives.
Periodically publish updates of the Resource Guide and post them on SAWPA’s website.
Use the Resource Guide’s agency contacts, and assure that steps are taken to keep all information
current.
Continue coordination with various governmental agencies, as appropriate, for all proposed
projects, initiatives, and integrated water and related resources activities to help identify necessary
environmental compliance requirements and or potential areas of conflict.
Energy and Environmental Impact Response Pillar – Key Findings
Annual surface water is likely to decrease over future periods with precipitation showing somewhat
long-term decreasing trends. Temperature will increase, which is likely to cause increased water
demand and reservoir evaporation. Projected decreases in precipitation and increases in
temperature will decrease natural recharge throughout the basin.
Management actions such as reducing municipal and industrial water demands or increasing trans-
basin water imports within the watershed may be required to maintain current groundwater levels.
Warmer temperatures likely will cause Jeffrey Pines to move to higher elevations and may decrease
their total habitat. Forest health also may be influenced by changes in the magnitude and frequency
of wildfires or infestations. Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change because they have
little ability to expand to higher elevations.
Increasing temperatures will result in a greater number of days above 95°F in the future. The
number of days above 95°F gets progressively larger for all cities advancing into the future.
Simulations indicate a significant increase in flow for 200-year storm events in the future. The
likelihood of experiencing what was historically a 200-year event will nearly double (i.e. the 200-year
historical event is likely to be closer to a 100-year event in the future). Findings indicate an increased
risk of severe floods in the future, although there is large variability between climate simulations.
Sea level rise is likely to inundate beaches and coastal wetlands and may increase coastal erosion.
The effects on local beaches depend upon changes in coastal ocean currents and storm intensity,
which are highly uncertain at this time. Sea level rise will increase the area at risk of inundation due
to a 100-year flood event.
Existing barriers are sufficient to deter seawater intrusion at Talbert and Alamitos gaps under a 3-
foot rise in sea levels. However, operation of barriers under sea level rise may be constrained by
shallow groundwater concerns.
To further enhance the integration and linkages among the recommended conceptual implementation
actions suggested by the Pillars, Pillar Integration Workshops were conducted by SAWPA throughout the
OWOW 2.0 Plan development period. The integration workshops included discussion of system-wide
regional or watershed scale implementation actions, addressing different components of the hydrologic
cycle, evaluating linkages among proposed projects/programs, and developing and identifying synergy
among projects and programs to create anew.
15 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
OWOW 2.0 Plan – Future Implementation
During the last two years, Pillars have been working together to write the next integrated water plan,
OWOW 2.0. The Broad Planning/Management Guidance Strategies were distilled from that work and
will serve to guide future planning and management in the watershed. The strategies reflect a change in
thinking about water resource management. Historically, water activities were organized into different
silos, and managers worked to achieve separate and individual goals that were thought to be unrelated.
The water supplier’s goal was to deliver water for a growing population and economy. The flood control
manager’s goal was to channelize stormwater to get it out of the community before it could harm
people and property. The wastewater manager’s goal was to highly treat wastewater before it is
discharged into the river or ocean to be carried away. Managing the watershed and water resources as
done in the past realized narrow singular goals, but did so with tremendous unintended consequences.
The list of endangered species only grew longer, as did the list of impaired water bodies. Societal values
have changed, water and funds are scarcer, and together we have realized that the old way is no longer
viable.
These Broad Planning/Management Guidance Strategies are not projects or programs themselves.
These strategies represent a shift from remediation to protection. It is the opportunity to be proactive
rather than reactive. This can facilitate the vision we want, a sustainable and productive watershed,
rather than only focusing on solving the problems that past practices have created.
16 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
These watershed planning and management strategies are separate and distinct from priorities assigned
to evaluate projects for funding that are often dependent on the grant sponsoring agency criteria.
These Planning/Management Strategies are meant to guide planning efforts and are in no particular
ranked or priority order as shown below.
Demand Reduction and Water Use Efficiency
Water use efficiency practices remain a key resource management priority for the watershed and a cost
effective tool for reducing the gap between available supplies and projected demand. This is reflected
through a reduced per capita water use as well as potentially reduced commercial and industrial water
use. Although significant progress is anticipated with mandated reductions through 20% by 2020
legislation, more can be done. Many water use efficiency actions have been implemented locally, but
these can be scaled watershed-wide. These include water rates structures that encourage conservation,
also known as budget-based water rates, garden friendly landscaping and landscape ordinance
application, smart controllers and irrigation nozzles, and turf buy-back programs, to name a few. The
last acre foot of water is often the most expensive, reducing that cost goes far to keep water rates
stable.
Monitoring data shows wasteful irrigation runs off yards, down streets and culverts collecting pet waste
and pollution until it hits the receiving water with a toxic slug causing beach closures and fish kills. At
great expense, cities have been tasked to clean up this dry weather urban runoff pollution. This cost can
be avoided with successful water use efficiency.
It is understood too that there is a direct link of water use efficiency with energy efficiency and GHG
emission reduction.
Watershed Hydrology and Ecosystem Protection and Restoration
Implementing cost effective programs will protect and restore our watershed’s ecosystem and
hydrologic system so that it will sustainably produce the array of services including water resources.
Recognizing that the Santa Ana River Watershed has multiple interrelated parts, a holistic approach to
solving issues of supply, quality, flood, and ecosystem management is necessary. This approach
recognizes that in order to achieve a healthy productive watershed, improvements starting at the top of
the watershed with a healthy and managed forest effectively support downstream stormwater
attenuation and runoff capture and water quality improvement. The emphasis is on source control
rather than end-of-pipe treatment as a best management practice. Implementation actions under this
priority include forest management, pollution prevention, low impact development, stormwater capture
and flood management, and MS4 stormwater implementation.
Operational Efficiency and Transfers
Cooperative agreements arising from water transfers, exchanges, and banking can resulted in better use
of water resources. With the rich groundwater storage opportunities available in the watershed,
expanding the groundwater storage with a variety of available water sources can be more much more
cost effective than new surface storage. Such agreements will result in our ability to stretch available
supplies and replace the storage lost by a shrinking snowpack. Projects under this category occur by
collaboration and cooperation among the multitude of agencies and entities in the watershed, and
agencies that import water into the watershed, expanding on the many past successful water
agreements within the watershed. New banking agreements can represent both habitat mitigation
17 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
banking as well as groundwater banking. These agreements only can occur by entities working together
and opening doors to improved efficiency and increased water supply reliance.
Innovative Supply Alternatives
This strategy recognizes the need for more progress in a portfolio approach with expansion of innovative
and effective 21st Century technology for water production, recycling, pumping, and desalinization.
Traditionally these projects serve as an important component to achieving water supply reliability.
Moving forward, a broader range of tools is available to us to serve both economic and environmental
objectives. Projects under this category provide multiple benefits and thus can be mutually reinforcing.
Brackish desalination and salinity management are necessary to sustain local supplies. Salinity
management is essential for groundwater basin health in the watershed.
Remediation and Clean up
Another strategy is implementing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and pollution remediation.
Projects under this category must reflect projects that have region wide benefit, are integrated and have
multiple benefits without a focus only on local or single purpose needs. Under this strategy, the focus is
on preventing pollution and dealing with the pollution that has already occurred. This reflects a desire to
duplicate the successes already established in the watershed to prevent and remediate pollution.
The Broad Planning/Management Guidance Strategies were presented and discussed with the Pillars
and other stakeholders for possible prioritization of the five strategies. The feedback received is that all
five strategies are a priority to the watershed. But as stakeholders of the watershed, entities are
encouraged to consider the long term watershed planning approach as they consider competing
alternatives to meet needs and give more merit or attention to strategies such as water use efficiency
that has been traditionally found to be more cost effective in reducing water demands and generating
water supply. Further, projects should consider system wide benefits before other alternatives. This
applies particularly to pollution prevention at the source rather than having to address a chain of
unintended and possibly negative consequences downstream for future generations.
Shown below is a list of Pillar Recommended Implementation Actions that were prepared based on the
Pillar’s work and other stakeholder input. These regional implementation actions are not listed in
priority, nor are they in any particular order. They represent the integrated work of the Pillars that
resulted from their collaboration internally and with other Pillars and are the solutions to the challenges
that they identified in each of their Pillar chapters. This list does not represent a list of projects that
been rated and ranked projects under the more formal Project Review Process defined under the
OWOW 2.0 Plan. However, they are recommended implementation actions that reflect an emphasis on
integration and system-wide solutions to the watershed challenges and include the 13 watershed-wide
framework concepts previously discuss.
Each of the Pillar-recommended watershed-wide implementation actions eventually could become
projects once they are more fully investigated and analyzed. Multi-agency project proponents for these
implementation actions have not have been identified yet. It is anticipated that these recommended
actions may best help fulfill the vision of the OWOW 2.0 Plan.

Pillar Recommended Implementation Actions
(In no particular order)
Title Description
Water Rate Structures
that Encourage
Conservation
Create incentive programs for retail water agencies in the watershed to reduce water
demand and help meet SBX7-7 required demand reductions.
Water Use Efficiency
Incentive Program
Create an incentive program for expanded water use efficiency programs including cash
for grass, landscape retrofit support, and California-friendly plant discounts. Utilize IEUA
Residential Landscape Transformation Program and MWDOC Comprehensive
Landscape Water Use Efficiency Programs as template.
Watershed Exchange
Program
- Upper watershed foregoes development of more water recycling and provides
future treated wastewater to the lower watershed via the Santa Ana River
- Lower watershed provides “replacement” water to upper/middle watershed
Wet Year Imported
Water Storage
Program
- Upper watershed and MWDSC would implement this strategy
- Goal: change MWDSC place of storage from Central Valley to Santa Ana River
watershed
- Develop MWDSC pricing structure to encourage more storage in watershed
- Water stored in wet years for a reduced price. Water pumped in dry years for
remaining Tier 1 price
Enhanced Santa Ana
River stormwater
capture below Seven
Oaks Dam
Additional stormwater detained by Seven Oaks Dam could enable the diversion of up to
500 cfs and up to 80,000 acre-feet per year. This may require execution of new water
rights agreement among SAR Watermaster parties.
Off River Storage and
Supply Credits
Additional stormwater capture along the SAR tributaries could enhance capture/
recharge. Specific locations in the watershed would need to be defined. New recharge
projects could allow for purchase of “MS4 Credits” by cities and counties as part of new
development as a regional MS4 compliant recharge project.
Re-Operate Flood
Control Facilities
Working with flood control agencies re-operate flood control facilities with the goal of
increasing stormwater capture increasing flood get away capacity and revising decades
old storage curves. Without any impending storms, the flood control agencies may be
able to release stormwater at a slower rate. This relatively minor operational change
would make stormwater flows easier to capture and put to use. It also would result in
impounding the water longer, which would increase artificial recharge during the
“holding period”. This strategy has already been successfully implemented in some
portions of the watershed.
Increase Surface
Water Storage
Helps offset drought and climate change while also increasing watershed sustainability
and less dependence on imported water. This project would supplement but not
replace existing or proposed groundwater storage.
Increase Groundwater
Storage
Helps offset drought and climate change while also increasing watershed sustainability

Title Description
Inland Empire Garden
Friendly
Demonstration and
LID Project
Using the Inland Empire Garden Friendly Program as a template, a demonstration
project is proposed to quantify the benefits of installing Inland Empire garden friendly
products and further demonstrate Low Impact Development features in a DAC
neighborhood. The project would be modeled in part after the successful City of Santa
Monica Garden-Friendly Project, as well as the Elmer Ave. Neighborhood Retrofit
project in the LA Basin.
DAC Water Supply or
Water Quality
Improvement Projects
Provide funding support to assure drinking water standards are met such as in the
County Water Company of Riverside near Wildomar. Construct new sewer system for
the areas that have failing septic systems/undersized treatment facilities like Beaumont
Cherry Valley.
Wetlands Expansion
Watershed wide
Create new wetlands along the tributaries of Santa Ana River to provide for natural
water quality improvement, ecosystem restoration and recreational opportunities.
Water supply for such wetlands would be dry weather urban runoff and available
recycled water and would be patterned after the Mill Creek Wetlands in Chino Basin.
Watershed wide
Multi-Use Corridor
Program
Create multi-use corridors along SAR and its tributaries and Upper Newport Bay
tributaries in all three counties in watershed to provide for sustainable wildlife
corridors, stormwater attenuation and capture, flood control, sediment reduction and
erosion restoration, enhanced NPS pollution treatment, removal of non-native species,
and creation of recreational trails,. In Riverside County, along Temescal Wash, in San
Bernardino in San Timoteo Wash, in Orange County along Borrego Canyon Wash
between Irvine Blvd and Town Center Drive.
Multi-Species Habitat
Plan for Gap areas of
Watershed
Create multi-species habitat plan for San Bernardino County and portions of Orange
County. Though work is underway on the Upper Santa Ana Wash Land Management
and Habitat Conservation Plan, there is no MSHCP covering the growing areas of
southwestern San Bernardino County. Western Orange County is also not covered by an
MSHCP.
Water conservation
recharge optimization
program
Establish a water conservation-recharge optimization plan for existing and potential
future flood control facilities, using the example work of the Chino Basin Recharge
Master Plan and implementation projects as a template.
Watershed wide
geodatabase access
Connect existing county or program-specific geodatabases to create a comprehensive
watershed geodatabase that provides access to appropriate stakeholders, and set up a
data quality control and maintenance program. The main component County MS4
geodatabases are well under way.
Forest Restoration
Projects
Expand forest restoration through fuels reduction, meadow and chaparral restorat ion
projects to strategic areas above major stormwater recharge basins for flood control,
water supply and water quality benefits.
Residential
Self‐Regenerating
Water Softener
Removal Rebate
Program
Removal of self regenerating water softeners has been proven as an effective strategy
to reduce TDS levels at WWTP and assure future salt discharge requirements. The
project provides watershed-wide rebates and would be a joint program among water
agencies in the watershed.
Salt removal projects
to achieve Salt Balance
Expand groundwater desalination to key groundwater basins where TDS and Nitrate
concentrations are approaching discharge limits. Locations may include Elsinore Basin,
Perris Basins in EMWD and Riverside Basins.
20 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Title Description
Enhanced stormwater
capture from the
tributaries of the
Santa Ana River
Develop additional stormwater capture projects along the SAR tributaries that support
key groundwater management zones identified by SB, RV, and OC Geodatabases. Early
estimates indicated a capture potential of 12,000 AFY.
Conjunctive Use
Storage and Water
Transfer Project using
Wet Year and Dry Year
Allocation
This project concept proposes a purchase by downstream entities of up to 45,000 AF of
imported water to be recharged by the upstream agencies during wet years. Water
would be purchased at a reduced imported water rate from MWD reflecting the savings
of not storing the SWP water at one of MWD’s own storage programs such as the Semi -
Tropic Water Storage District and/or Kern County Water Bank. In dry years,
downstream agencies could request upstream agencies to increase their groundwater
production for three years by up to 15,000 AF per year in-lieu of direct deliveries from
MWD, while MWD increases deliveries in the downstream area by an equal amount.
Salt Assimilative
Capacity Building and
Recycled Water
Transfer Project
EMWD has the capability to discharge 15,000 AFY of recycled water into Temescal
Creek. The recycled water discharge will be dependent on surplus recycled water
available and not used within EMWD particularly during wet seasons. With the approval
of the SAR Watermaster, this flow can be contractually added to the Santa Ana River
base flow allocation at Prado. The water quality of EMWD’s discharged recycled water
may require some salinity mitigation by downstream parties to meet the RWQCB Basin
Plan Objective in Orange County. The GWRS will be used to provide the required
mitigation for the discharged water, and EMWD will pay downstream parties for the
cost of that mitigation.
Riverside Basin Aquifer
Storage and Recovery
Project
Riverside Public utilities, in partnership with Valley District and others are developing a
design for a rubber dam that would cross the Santa Ana River and be used to divert
flows, while mitigating environment impacts. The project is currently anticipated to
capture and recharge 15,000 AFY.
Watershed Invasive
Plant Removal Project
The Santa Ana Watershed Association, the Front Country District Ranger on the San
Bernardino National Forest and Southern California Edison had proposed a major an
invasive plant eradication project for the Mill Creek Watershed. This project proposes
to expand the San Bernardino Mountains Front Range Invasive Plant Removal Project to
an invasive plant removal and restoration project in the Santa Ana River Watershed that
has many partners and stakeholders extending from the coast to the headwaters.
Regional BMPs to
manage municipal
stormwater discharges
Develop regional BMPs including infiltration, harvest & reuse, and biotreatment as
proposed under current MS4 Permits. Initial phase would be located in MSAR Pathogen
TMDL area and expand into other areas of the watershed under future phases to
address pathogen treatment.
Watershed-wide
coordinated surface
water monitoring
program
Surface water quality monitoring is not coordinated within the watershed leading to
duplicative sampling in some areas and inadequate sampling in others. In some cases
this may lead to 303(d) listings that do not reflect real impairments. A new program to
coordinate surface water quality monitoring to enhance efficiency and reduce costs is
proposed. Sources of monitoring data would come from MSAR Watershed TMDL,
SWQSTF, MS4 Stormwater Permits, and SCCWRP Bioassessment Program.
Watershed Urban
Runoff Management
Establishing a Watershed Based Urban Runoff Management Fund to support the
implementation of stormwater management programs. Components of this program
21 | E x e c u t i v e S u m m a r y
Title Description
Fund could include the regulatory basis for a watershed based program, the legal basis and
authority for the fund, the agreements, and programmatic elements.
Santa Ana River
Sediment Transport
Building upon an OCWD demonstration project, implementation of a full scale project
that allows for the appropriate transfer of sediment to maximize recharge operation s,
restore habitat, and reduce operation costs.
Transportation
Corridor Stormwater
Capture and
Treatment
New uses of the current transportation right of ways can be expanded to for capturing
rain runoff and replenishing groundwater basins.
Modified Watershed
Brine Management
System
Optimizing the water used to transport brine so that less water is lost to the ocean
through increased concentrating of brine or delivery to the Salton Sea for beneficial use.
Water Industry Energy
Use Reduction
Incentive Program
Supporting regional purchase and installation programs of water resource related
greener energy projects that reduce capital costs and green house gas emissions.
Watershed Land Use
Planning Tool Kit
Developing a tool kit that translates water principl es to support watershed planning
decisions and implements a jurisdictional outreach effort for relevant regional, county
and city planning agencies that encourages adoption of the guidance ideology into
General Plans and zoning codes at the local level.
OWOW Projects and Benefits
It is the intent of the OWOW planning process to transcend specific funding cycles. Projects are
included in the OWOW 2.0 Plan based on the latest rating and ranking criteria and their merit to address
the watershed’s strategic needs, regardless of available funding opportunities at any given time. (See
list in Appendix K)
Shown below is a list of the Round 1 Proposition 84 projects and the benefits that ultimately will be
realized once all these projects are fully constructed. Round 2 projects submitted by SAWPA are under
consideration by DWR for future grant funding with awards anticipated in early 2014.

BOARD AGENDA STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #7.
Meeting Date: September 23, 2015
Discussion Item
To: Governing Board Members
From: General Manager/CEO
Subject: Joint Facilitation Water Replenishment and Recycling Project
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the final terms of a Joint Facilities Agreement for the Joint Facilitation Water
Replenishment and Recycling Project with San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and
authorize the General Manager/CEO to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
In 2014, East Valley Water District (District) conducted a Recycled Water Feasibility Study that
evaluated the groundwater replenishment benefits of constructing a water reclamation facility within
the District’s service area. The Governing Board originally adopted the Feasibility Study in October
2014 and key updates in March 2015. A primary benefit of a facility would be the availability of
recycled water that could be used for indirect potable groundwater recharge in the San Bernardino
Basin Area (Bunker Hill Basin). Following the results of the Feasibility Study, the Governing Board
directed the General Manager/CEO to further pursue efforts that would result in the construction of
a Recycled Water Center to serve East Valley Water District customers and enhance groundwater
replenishment capabilities of the District.
In April 2015 the District’s Governing Board appointed Chairman James Morales, Jr. and Vice
Chairman Ron Coats to serve on a Recycled Water Ad Hoc Committee in order to keep the Board
engaged in the topic and to respond to issues in a timely and efficient manner. Additionally San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District) formed a Recycled Water Ad Hoc
Committee consisting of President Mark Bulot and Vice President Steve Copelan to discuss the
potential of recycled water as a regional groundwater recharge source of supply.
Members of both the District and Valley District Ad Hoc Committees have held joint meetings and
found it in the best interest of both agencies to cooperatively construct a recycled water facility to
enhance replenishment. In order to accomplish this effort, the District and Valley District must enter
into an Agreement for the Construction and Operation of Groundwater Replenishment Facilities
(Agreement).
The Agreement establishes a f ramework f or the design, permitting, construction and operation of a
recycled water treatment and recharge system in the Bunker Hill Basin. This effort recognizes the
regional aspects of recycled water development, including Valley District’s wastewater treatment
authority. As other recycled projects and partners are identified, the Agreement is developed to be
easily expanded.
At the August 26, 2015, Regular Board Meeting the District Board of Directors authorized the
General Manager/CEO to negotiate the f inal terms of the Agreement for the Construction and
Operation of Groundwater Replenishment Facilities.
On August 24, Valley District conducted a Workshop to discuss the draf t Agreement where the
Board provided input to staff. The Valley District Board of Directors unanimously approved the f inal
Agreement on September 15, 2015.
Partnership f or the construction and use of a recycled water facility for groundwater replenishment
would be consistent with the statewide drought emergency efforts, in addition to the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act of 2014. Using recycled water to replenish the San Bernardino
Basin Area, which is the groundwater basin serving the needs of the District and which includes
most of the area within Valley District, improves water supply reliability f or the District and other
retail water agencies within Valley District’s service area and also provides a drought buffer for
those agencies in the event of a lengthy drought.

Agreement for the Construction and Operation of Groundwater Replenishment Facilities 1
By and Between 2
East Valley Water District and San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District 3
4
This Agreement for the Construction and Operation of Groundwater Replenishment 5
Facilities is entered into and effective this 1st day of September, 2015 by and between East 6
Valley Water District (“EVWD”) and San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (“Valley 7
District”). EVWD and Valley District are each sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and 8
are collectively referred to as the “Parties.” Additional signatories to this Agreement may 9
include the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. This Agreement shall become 10
effective upon execution by Valley District and EVWD, regardless of whether the City of San 11
Bernardino Municipal Water Department or any other additional signatory has executed this 12
Agreement. 13
14
Recitals 15
16
A. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 requires public agencies to 17
develop plans to ensure the sustainable long-term use of California’s groundwater resources. 18
19
B. In 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a Recycled Water Policy that 20
encourages public agencies to develop groundwater recharge projects using recycled water. 21
22
C. The Parties believe that through their cooperative work, they can treat and discharge 23
wastewater in a manner that will maximize the benefits to the Santa Ana River and to the region. 24
The Parties further believe that such wastewater discharge can be treated to levels that allow the 25
use of such recycled water for groundwater replenishment or other permissible uses within the 26
San Bernardino Basin Area, or other adjacent groundwater basins, for the benefit of the Parties 27
and their ratepayers. Achieving such groundwater objectives requires the construction of a new 28
wastewater treatment plant. 29
30
D. Using recycled water to replenish the San Bernardino Basin Area, which is the 31
groundwater basin serving the needs of EVWD and which includes most of the area within 32
Valley District, improves water supply reliability for EVWD and other retail water agencies 33
within Valley District’s service area and also provides a drought buffer for those agencies in the 34
event of a lengthy drought. 35
36
E. The Parties, together with a number of other water agencies, are working together to 37
develop a collaborative regional plan to increase the use of recycled water for groundwater 38
replenishment and other purposes. The Parties intend that this project be an integral part of that 39
regional plan. This Agreement is intended to implement the more general understandings of the 40
Parties and others as reflected in that regional plan. 41

1417151.6
F. Replenishing the San Bernardino Basin Area or other groundwater basins with recycled 43
water is consistent with article X, section 2 of the California Constitution, which requires that the 44
water resources of California be used to the fullest extent of which they are capable and is also 45
consistent with Water Code section 13576(k), which authorizes and encourages the use of 46
recycled water for groundwater replenishment. Groundwater replenishment is also within the 47
authority of both Parties. 48
49
G. The Parties wish to memorialize their agreements relating to constructing and operating a 50
wastewater treatment plant (the “Project”) that will enable them to replenish the groundwater 51
resources that serve their respective ratepayers. 52
53

BOARD AGENDA STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #8.
Meeting Date: September 23, 2015
Discussion Item
To: Governing Board Members
From: General Manager/CEO
Subject: Award Program Management Services Contract to Hall & Foreman for the Recycled
Water Center
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors award the contract for Program Management
services to Hall & Foreman (A Division of David Evans and Associates, Inc.) for the Recycled
Water Center.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS:
In February 2015, the Board awarded a contract for Program Manager Services to Kennedy/Jenks
Consultants (KJC) and the KJC Program Manager began work in March 2015. In early June 2015,
the District was informed by the Program Manager that he was leaving KJC to take a position with
another engineering firm. KJC submitted three staff resumes for consideration as a replacement
Program Manager. However, the qualifications and skill sets of the three proposed replacements
were not as comprehensive as the previous KJC Program Manager.
The function of the Program Manager is to facilitate the coordination amongst various consultants
for permitting, preparation of environmental documents, community outreach as well as the design
build entity. The Program Manager will also conduct periodic reviews to maintain schedule and
serve as a conduit of flow of information amongst several entities. Preparation and management of
an overall project schedule is also part of the Program Manager’s scope of work.
Other firms were requested to submit resumes and rates for the position of a Program Manager.
Three candidates were identified, two from the firm of Vali Cooper & Associates, Inc. and one
from Hall & Foreman.
The qualifications were reviewed and evaluated by the General Manager/CEO, and the District’s
Consultant, Ash Dhingra. An interview was conducted with each candidate to gain a full
understanding of their qualifications and prior similar work. Following those interviews the Program
Manager from Hall & Forman was selected and the scope of work and fee were negotiated.
This contract and these efforts will be consistent with the Joint Facilities Agreement and will be
administered and managed through our partnership with San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water
District.
Upon authorization by the Board, the General Manager/CEO will enter into an agreement with Hall &
Foreman to provide Program Management Services for the Recycled Water Center Project.
AGENCY IDEALS AND ENDEAVORS:
Ideals and Endeavor I - Encourage Innovative Investments To Promote Sustainable Benefits
(A) - Develop projects and programs to ensure safe and reliable services
(B) - Manage and Identify Methods to Conserve Natural Resource
(E) - Actively Seek Alternative Supply Resources
FISCAL IMPACT :
The fiscal impact for the program management services contract is $162,000, which will be funded
from the balance of the previous authorization for the KJC Program Manager.
Respectfully submitted:
John Mura
General Manager / CEO
