TO: Wash Committee PAC and TAC Member (See Distribution List)
SUBJECT: Draft 4 of the Task Force Agreement
During the PAC meeting on October 3, 2001, the PAC (with TAC members) reviewed Drafts
No. 3A and No. 3B of the Task Force Agreement. The Committee directed that Draft 3B be
modified to reflect a Project-level EIR/EIS had been accepted by the Committee, and distribute a
new draft for the Wash Committee members to obtain approval from their respective agencies.
The members committed to obtaining that approval within the next 30 days.
Draft No. 4-Redline and Draft No. 4-Clean of the Task Fome Agreement are attached. Draft 4-
Redline highlights the changes directed by the PAC. Draft 4-Clean includes those changes but
does not highlight them. Therefore, if you need to make copies for your approving body or
person, you may do so from the 4-Clean version.
I have not included the Executive Summary of the Proposed Land Management and Habitat
Conservation Plan due to the color maps, and the fact that each agency should already have
those. However, if you need extra copies, please let me know.
Please let me know as soon as possible when your agency plans to obtain approval. If you desire
for me to be present at any meeting or discussion, I will be pleased to work that into my schedule.
I extend my thanks to everyone who has worked on the Task Force Agreement during the past
year. It has been a long and arduous process, but with concurrence now on the Agreement, we
will be able to move forward with the project.
Respectfully
General Manager

THIS AGREEMENT is made effective this __ day of , 2001, by and
between the following entities (hereinafter individually referred to as a "Party" and
collectively referred to as the "Parties"):
CEMEX CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, SAN GORGONIO PASS WATER
INC. CCEMEX") AGENCY ("SGPWA")

CONSERVATION DISTRICT ("SBVWCD"
OR "CONSERVATION DISTRICT")
RECITALS
This Agreement is entered into on the basis of the following facts,
understandings, and intentions of the Parties:
A. Representatives of numerous agencies, including water, mining, flood
control, resource management and conservation, and municipalities, formed the Santa
Aha River Wash Area Coordinating Planning Activities Committee ("Wash Committee")
to address local mining issues and other land functions on the Upper Santa Aha River
Wash ("Wash"). A Policy Action Commi~ee ("PAC") was subsequently established,
consisting of elected officials from San Bernardino County, Highland, Redlands, and the
Conservation District, as well as the Field Manager of the BLM. A Technical Advisory
- Committee ("TAC") was also formed with representatives from the PAC agencies, and
~' other water, mining, flood control, and resource protection interests.
B. The Wash Committee examined the most appropriate manner in which to
use the Wash for the benefit of all landowners without regard to preexisting planning of
the Wash or current land ownership. Ultimately, the Wash Committee determined that
there should be a balance of land uses to accommodate the needs of mineral
extraction, water conservation, habitat protection, and municipal infrastructure
requirements (i.e. utilities, trails, etc.). To achieve land use balance, current land uses
must be reassigned to better accommodate mineral extraction, water conservation, and
habitat. To effect such change, an exchange of existing land ownership between BLM
and the Conservation District, and a transfer of leasehold interests between the mining
companies and the Conservation District will be required.
C. The TAC reached a general consensus in early 2000 regarding the
designation of specific areas of the Wash for the desired uses. The result of this multi-
jurisdictional effort was the creation of a proposed Land Management and Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Upper Santa Ana River Wash ("Concept Plan"). The Concept
Plan establishes the framework for balancing ongoing and future land activities
proposed for the Wash Planning Area ("WPA"), including habitat protection areas and
recreational trail alignments. The Concept Plan was reviewed and endorsed by the
governing boards and/or officials with approval authority from each of the Parties.
D. Each of the Parties have found and determined that it is in their best
interests to join together to: manage activities in connection with the necessary
refinements, environmental review, and implementation of the Land Management and
Habitat Conservation Plan (collectively the "Project"); provide an equitable cost-sharing
mechanism for the funding of the Project; and, define the projected schedule and scope
of work to execute the Project.
E. The Parties hereto now enter into this Agreement to establish a Task
Force, consisting of a representative from each party, to oversee and administer the
preparation of plans, environmental review documents, public notices and hearings, and
other activities requisite to the formulation and, if adopted, execution of the Project.
F. In entering into this Agreement, the Parties reserve their discretionary
authority with regard to the execution of the Project, including but not limited to any land
use and planning authority under state and local law, authority, designated under the
Surface and Mining Recovery Act ("SMARA"), and CEQA approval of their own
discretionary decisions executing the Project.

RECITALS
This Agreement is entered into on the basis of the following facts,
understandings, and intentions of the Parties:
A. Representatives of numerous agencies, including water, mining, flood
control, resource management and conservation, and municipalities, formed the Santa
Ana River Wash Area Coordinating Planning Activities Committee ("Wash Committee")
to address local mining issues and other land functions on the Upper Santa Aha River
Wash ("Wash"). A Policy Action Committee ("PAC") was subsequently established,
consisting of elected officials from San Bernardino County, Highland, Redlands, and the
Conservation District, as well as the Field Manager of the BLM. A Technical Advisory
Committee ("TAC") was also formed with representatives from the PAC .agencies, and
other water, mining, flood control, and resource protection interests.
B. The Wash Committee examined the most appropriate manner in which to
use the Wash for the benefit of all landowners without regard to preexisting planning of
the Wash or current land ownership. Ultimately, the Wash Committee determined that
there should be a balance of land uses to accommodate the needs of mineral
extraction, water conservation, habitat protection, and municipal infrastructure
requirements (i.e. utilities, trails, etc.). To achieve land use balance, current land uses
must be reassigned to better accommodate mineral extraction, water conservation, and
habitat. To effect such change, an exchange of existing land ownership between BLM
and the Conservation District, and a transfer of leasehold interests between the mining
companies and the Conservation District will be required.
C. The TAC reached a general consensus in early 2000 regarding the
designation of specific areas of the Wash for the desired uses. The result of this multi-
jurisdictional effort was the creation of a proposed Land Management and Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Upper Santa Ana River Wash ("Concept Plan"). The Concept
Plan establishes the framework for balancing ongoing and future land activities
proposed for the Wash Planning Area ("WPA"), including habitat protection areas and
recreational trail alignments. The Concept Plan was reviewed and endorsed by the
governing boards and/or officials with approval authority from each of the Parties.
D. Each of the Parties have found and determined that it is in their best
interests to join together to: manage activities in connection with the necessary
refinements, environmental review, and implementation of the Land Management and
Habitat Conservation Plan (collectively the "Project"); provide an equitable cost-sharing
mechanism for the funding of the Project; and, define the projected schedule and scope
of work to execute the Project.
E. The Parties hereto now enter into this Agreement to establish a Task
Force, consisting of a representative from each party, to oversee and administer the
preparation of plans, environmental review documents, public notices and hearings, and
other activities requisite to the formulation and, if adopted, execution of the Project.
F. In entering into this Agreement, the Parties reserve their discretionary
authority with regard to the execution of the Project, including but not limited to any land
use and planning authority under state and local law, authority, designated under the
Surface and Mining Recovery Act ("SMARA"), and CEQA approval of their own
discretionary decisions executing the Project.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT.
The Project to be undertaken by the Task Force consists of all of the following:
A. Refinement and expansion of the Concept Plan to develop the Component
Plans of a "Land Management and Habitat Conservation Plan for the Upper Santa Aha
River Wash" ("Plan"), which includes the following:
1. A Mining and Reclamation Plan under the Surface Mining and
Reclamation Act ("SMARA") designating the areas as generally depicted in Exhibit "A"
to be devoted to sand, gravel, and mineral extraction and the terms and conditions
under which such extraction may proceed, which will be provided by CEMEX and
Robertson's to the appropriate municipality, Highland er Redlands, for review and
approval;
2. A Water Conservation Plan, which describes the scope, extent, and
location of water diversions, conveyance, spreading, and monitoring activities, which will
be provided by the Conservation District;
3. A Recreation Plan, which coordinates the planning and
development of trails, parks, and public recreation areas, which will be provided by
Conservation District, San Bernardino County, Highland, and Redlands;
4. An Infrastructure Plan, which describes the location of pipelines,
utility corridors, roads, highways, and communication facilities, which will be provided by
the Conservation District, EVWD, Highland, Redlands, and DWR;
5. A Habitat Protection Plan will be provided by the Conservation
District to identify habitat areas that may be considered to protect threatened and
endangered species at such time as other activities within the Wash are presented to
the appropriate agency for entitlements, approvals and/or land use permits; and
6. A Flood Control Plan, which describes flood control
facilities/activities including detention and retention basins, drains, and storm water
conveyance facilities, which will be provided by SBCFCD.
B. Preparation of preliminary documents necessary to conduct an
environmental analysis, including the following:
1. A Project Description for the environmental analysis based on the
Component Plans described above;
2. Alternative land balancing plans to be studied in the environmental
analysis;

FIRST AMENDMENT TO PARKING LOT SUBLEASE
~,
Thi~ First Amendment To Parking Lot Sublease ("First Amendment") is made and entered
into as of-J--~,'~Jco'~f' ~1 1998, by and between California Golf Holdings, a California corporation
("Sublessor"), and Victoria Development, a California limited partnership ("Tenant"), with reference
to the following facts, all of which constitute a material part of this First Amendment:
A. As of February 27, 1998, Sublessor and Tenant entered into a Sublease (the
"Sublease") under the terms of which Sublessor leased to Tenant certain real property located in the
County of San Bemardino, State of California, consisting of all of the paved parking area located on
Assessor's Parcel Numbers 286-111-07, -08 and -11, which real property is referred to as the
"Premises" in the Sublease, together with the non-exclusive right to use access roads to such
Premises.
B. The Premises are part of larger parcels of real property leased by Sublessor from the
East Valley Water District, a public agency (the "District").
C. The Term of the Sublease now expires on the last day of August, 1998.
D. Tenant and Sublessor desire to amend the Sublease as hereinafter set forth.
E. All of the capitalized terms of this First Amendment shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Sublease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and obligations
set forth herein, Sublessor and Tenant agree as follows:
1. The Term of the Sublease is extended to and shall expire on the last day of
February, 1999 ("Extended Term").
2. Tenant shall pay as rent the sum of Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($13,500.00), calculated at Two Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars per month for six (6) months,
as the total rent due and payable for the Extended Term, as follows:
Thirteen Thousand Twenty-Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents ($13,027.50) to Sublessor
and Four Hundred Seventy-Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($472.50) to District upon
execution of this First Amendment by both Sublessor and District and delivery of an
executed duplicate original to Tenant. If the Sublease, as amended by the First
Amendment is terminated for any reason other than Tenant's default, Sublessor and
District shall each reimburse Tenant for that portion of the rent received by them
allocated to the period of time otherwise remaining in the Extended Term on or after
the date of termination, with reimbursement to be made within ten (10) days of the
date of termination.
1 of 3
3. Sublessor shall have the right during the Extended Term to enter upon the
Premises if necessary in order to facilitate slurry pumping of sewer lines which are below ground and
which cross under the Premises, provided, however, Sublessor shall exercise such right so as not to
materially interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant, including elimination of use by Tenant of
any portion of the parking area, unless such material interference is absolutely unavoidable. In the
event material interference is unavoidable, Tenant, Sublessor and District shall mutually agree as to
another portion of the property leased by Sublessor from the District (equivalent in size to that
portion of the Premises which Tenant cannot reasonably use due to the material interference) which
can be used by Tenant as a parking area, with reasonable access, pending elimination of the material

Dear Senator Boxer:
Thank you for your letter of September 7 regarding legislation you intend to
introduce on water infrastructure. We honored your request to assist in
distributing this letter to our members by sending your outline to them and -
4CWA's mission is encouraging them to respond.
dc. vetopme,t. Once ACWA receives legislative language, we will circulate this to our
~,..~o,,.a,t,. t,,,,,a,.~.,~ Federal Affairs Committee and the committee will consider it and take action
:,s,' ,,£good quality regarding your proposed legislation. In the meantime, we will be working
,uter at the lowest with Senator Feinstein and Congressman Calvert on their CALFED -
ct,v~rlmme,t.lll, authorization legislation. In reviewing your outline, it appears there a/e a
,.,,.,,cc.~ ,,,.,,,,~,~. number of common elements in your legislation and the more comprehensive
' CAI/FED .ai~thorization. legislation authored by Senator Feinstein and
~ 'Gori~sin~n Cal;~ert." Our. goal is to promote legislation that provides the
best, most comprehensive approach to investment in California's water
infrastmctur~investment which we believe is badly needed and long
overdue.
We therefore urge you to consider working with Senator Feinstein to
incorporate those provisions of your legislation that are not already in her
S 976. We believe that type of cooperative approach would send the clearest,
most compelling message from the California delegation to Congress
regarding the federal interest in meeth-,g our water and envirornnen~l needs.
We look forward to working with you and the other members of the California
congressional delegation on that basis and will be happy to provide any
Association of California' assistance, you may require.

Dear Mr. Hall:
I am writing to you about a water supply bill I intend to introduce
in the Senate this fall. The California Affordable Quantity and Quality
Water Act (CAL-AQQWA) is designed to promote water recycling, reclamation
and groundwater storage projects throughout the state. It will also
provide funding'for water quality projecgs. Congressman Sam Farr (D-
Monterey). 'will be introducing a similar bill in the House of Represen-
tat. ives~ I ·have enclosed information about CAL-AQQWA with this letter
for your review.
There are three sections of the bill where individual water projects
will be mentioned by name. I encourage you to provide me with infor-
mation about projects which might be eligible for inclusion in these
sections. Section i identifies a number of water reclamation proj'ects
statewidei These projects have completed the planning and design process
and now await funding for construction. A similar list will be included
for groundwater projects in Section 3. If your agency has a potential
project and is awaiting funds to conduct a feasibility study, such
studies will be included in Section 2.
Since CAL-AQQWA was drafted with the needs of water a~encies in
mind, a letter of support from your agency would be very helpful. Please
mail or fax letters of support to my State Director Rose Kapolczynski,
312 l~. Spring St., #1748, Los Angeles 90012. The fax number is (213)
894-5012.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions about
· t~e bill or have a project you would like considered for inclusion, ' ' '
please contact John. Ormsby or Adrienne Bousian in'my San Francisco office
at (415) 403-0100.

Projects that encourage regional approaches to water supply operations.
IV. Groundwater Recharge Facilities Program
- This section would authorize funding, on a cost-sharing basis, for the construction of
groundwater storage projects. Preference under this section would be given to projects that are
located in overdraf~ed groundwater basins, projects of critical need, projects whose feasibility
studies demonstrate the greatest engineering and hydrogeologic feasibility, and projects located
in areas that have groundwater management plans.
- This section would also include a list of construction projects. To be eligible, projects
need to have completed technical and design studies.

provide better information on statewide and regional water use, enable water purveyors to charge
for water according to the amount used and allow water users to demonstrate the effects of.
efficiency measures. ' ·
- This section will contain language recognizing that an important barrier to the creation
of an effective water transfer market is the lack of incentive for individual landowners, including
farmers, to use available water conservation technologies because any water savings frequently
accrue not to the landowner but to the irrigation district or water agency. The independent
review panel will also develop and review proposals to remove disincentives to voluntary
implementation of water use efficiency systems.
VII. Land Retirement Program
- This section would authorize funding, on a cost-sharing basis, for land retixement.
