Regular Board Meeting
TO: Governing Board Members
FROM: General Manager/CEO
SUBJECT: Surface Water Supply Update
RECOMMENDATION
This agenda item is for informational purposes only, no action required.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The District has a diverse water supply that includes both local and imported water
supplies. Water supplies include both groundwater and surface water to improve
reliability during a drought or major disaster. Surface water is treated at the District’s
Plant 134 and can blend both local and imported surface water supplies. The local
surface water supply to Plant 134 has been impaired over the past year and the
operation of Plant 134 has been adjusted accordingly.
Approximately 25% or 4000 acre-feet per year of the District’s water supply comes
from surface water treated at Plant 134. The Plant was first placed in operation in 1996
to treat water from the local surface water supply of the Santa Ana River. The facility
includes filters, disinfection and an effluent pump station. Two major upgrades were
completed to improve water quality and the ability to treat the local and imported water
supply. The most recent upgrade was completed in 2023 where granular activated
carbon (GAC) was added to reduce the organics and disinfection byproducts in the
treated water.
Plant 134 has been a reliable water supply for the District due to its ability to treat
water from two surface water sources. The primary source of supply is the Santa Ana
River through the North Fork Pipeline. The secondary supply is imported water from the
State Water Project delivered by San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District.
A portion of the Santa Ana River is diverted into a Southern California Edison (SCE)
pipeline (highline) around the Seven Oaks dam to a hydroturbine plant downstream of
the dam. The highline provides cleaner and more reliable water to the hydroturbine,
Bear Valley Mutual Water Company and North Fork Pipeline. The Santa Ana River
supply has typically been a reliable source of water until 2023. Tropical Storm Hillary in
Spring 2023 created high river flows that damaged the highline upstream of the dam.
The damaged highline is at a river crossing upstream of the Seven Oaks Dam.
The North Fork Mutual Water Company has senior water rights to the water from the

dam that is equivalent to approximately 25% of the District’s annual water supply.
Since the highline has been damaged, Santa Ana River supply to the North Fork pipeline
has been supplied by water through the dam. Water from the dam is poor water
quality and can not be entirely supplied to Plant 134. Most of the water is diverted
back to the Santa Ana River for recharge.
North Fork pipeline water supplies have been greatly reduced until the highline is
repaired. Plant 134 supply has mostly been imported State Water Project and blended
with the Santa Ana River water for the past year. Table 1 illustrates the blend at Plant
134 of imported and local surface water.
The highline is currently owned and operated by SCE. They are in the process of
disposing the Santa Ana River hydroturbine assets including the highline. San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District is leading a consortium to acquire the
hydroturbine assets and have received a preliminary agreement with SCE to start the
planning process for the repairs, which, will likely take 1-3 years to complete.
District staff has been developing a plan to ensure water reliability from Plant 134. A
presentation will be provided by staff that provides background on Plant 134 supplies
and the damaged highline.

PROVEN EXPERIENCE LEADING
SPECIAL DISTRICTS
• Dedicated
• Fiscally Responsible
• Committed to Special Districts
It has been a privilege and honor to serve on the CSDA Board of Directors (Board) representing the
Southern Network. Serving on the Board requires a commitment of time; I am in Sacramento at least
twice a month for CSDA meetings. I have served as President, Vice President and Treasurer, and served
as a Chair and/or member of the various committees. In 2010 and 2011, respectively, I was recognized
as CSDA’s Legislative Advocate of the Year and by PublicCEO as Special District Official of the Year.
During my tenure on the CSDA Board, I have formed working relationships throughout the Network and
State that have given me an insight regarding the needs of special districts. Based on these insights and
input from other CSDA directors, CSDA has worked to provide webinars at no cost to its members,
begun offering the leadership academy three times a year and on-line, and the SDLF Board eliminated
budget limits for scholarships. I serve on the CSDA and SDLF Boards, and I am proud of the
collaboration that allows all special districts to take advantage of CSDA’s programs.
During my term, I have been committed to continue building on the present foundation of CSDA’s
educational programs, state and federal legislative advocacy, and public outreach. CSDA is now the “voice
of Special Districts”, “the third leg of local government”, and the ‘go-to’ association for legislative issues.
My proven leadership and public service experience, commitment to fiscal responsibility, and
comprehensive LAFCO and special district knowledge make me the most qualified candidate to represent
the Southern Network.
I have a true passion for and proven experience in leading Special Districts. I would be honored to
continue serving on the CSDA Board as your Southern Network Director.
I am asking for your Vote.

My name is Jason Dafforn. I am a Licensed Civil Engineer in the State of California with
over 30 years of experience in the water and wastewater industry. I have 17 years of
experience as a utility manager working for California local governments, including over
eight years working for a special district.
California's special districts play a crucial role in the daily lives of millions, providing
essential services ranging from water and sanitation to fire protection, healthcare, and
many others. The California Special District Association (CSDA) provides resources,
training, state and federal advocacy, and professional development to help special
districts across the State flourish.
Today, special districts are confronted with unprecedented challenges. As a special
district manager, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of these challenges,
which positions me to provide valuable guidance and develop effective resolutions. My
fresh ideas and unique perspective will enable the Board of Directors to proactively
address current issues and future challenges, keeping CSDA ahead of the curve.
Together, we hold the power to shape the future and provide exceptional resources for
special districts in California. By ensuring they remain at the forefront of delivering
essential services and improving the quality of life for all residents, we can make a
significant impact.
Let us build a stronger, more resilient future for California's special districts and the
communities they serve.

Regular Board Meeting
TO: Governing Board Members
FROM: General Manager/CEO
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Amendment No. 2 for the Sterling Natural Resource
Center Operational Support Agreement with Anaergia to include additional operations
support of the solid waste to energy processes
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager/CEO to execute an
amendment to Agreement 2021.14 for Professional Services and Operational Support of
SNRC with Anaergia Technologies, LLC. to increase the maximum annual operational
support to $3,232,409.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 8, 2021, the Board authorized a Professional Services Agreement with
Anaergia for Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) Operational Support. That
agreement includes procurement of consumables for plant operations, maintenance of
equipment related to solids and biogas treatment, and the management of the
feedstock program for high strength organics for co-digestion. In addition, the
Agreement includes service management fees for administrative costs to produce 3.0
megawatts of renewable energy. The term of the agreement was amended to 13 years
with Amendment No. 1 on May 24, 2023.
The original scope and budget for the operational support was developed prior to
construction of the solid waste to energy systems at SNRC. All operational support is
done on a time and materials basis. After reviewing the original scope of work, the
District requested Anaergia to provide a revised budget for all the plant consumables,
chemicals, replacement materials for the solid waste to energy processes, preventative
maintenance of all the solid waste to energy processes included in Exhibit C, and full-
time on-site labor to ensure the processes are operated effectively. District staff will still
be responsible for operational control of the solid waste to energy processes and for
maintaining the remainder of the plant.
The solid waste to energy processes include specialized equipment to dewater solids
and convey them to digesters. High strength organics will be trucked into SNRC and
also processed in the digesters. The gas from the digesters will be processed for fueling
the combustion turbine engines that will create electricity. The equipment requires strict
maintenance schedules and specialized knowledge for operation. Leveraging Anaergia’s
resources is more cost-effective than hiring additional District staff. The District would

be required to hire specialized mechanics and operators of gas processing equipment if
there were no contract operations support. Anaergia is currently providing operation
and maintenance support for a similar system in the High Desert. Utilizing trained
operators will improve preventative maintenance of the equipment and utilize their
procurement contracts for economies of scale.
The scope of work is included in Exhibit A. The scope of work includes the coordination
of feedstock delivery of high strength organics to SNRC. Anaergia will receive 20% of
the revenue for coordinating and billing the delivery of high strength organic feedstock.
The District will be able to reevaluate the level of services used each year. As the plant
operation becomes more routine, District staff may start providing more operational,
procurement, and maintenance services for the solid waste to energy processes.
Amending the existing agreement avoids gaps in the maintenance and operation of the
new treatment processes.
AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
I - Implement Effective Solutions Through Visionary Leadership
A. Identify Opportunities to Optimize Natural Resources
C. Strengthen Regional, State and National Partnerships
IV - Promote Planning, Maintenance and Preservation of District Resources
A. Develop Projects and Programs to Ensure Safe and Reliable Services
B. Enhance Planning Efforts that Respond to Future Demands
REVIEW BY OTHERS
This agenda item has been reviewed by the executive management team.
FISCAL IMPACT
The original service contract amount of $2,240,312.33 is included in the FY 2024/25
budget. The increased budget of $992,097 is not included in the FY 2024/25 budget. If
approved, the budget will be amended to account for the increased expenses. District
staff anticipates lower power and capital costs should offset most of the increased
expenses with the amendment.
