This 6,800 -foot section crossed the Amott property north of Greenspot Road between the Calvary Chapel property and the road going to the guard gate at the Seven Oaks Dam. This section of the project was removed due to the low availability of funds in FEMA. account number 1498 and that Centex Homes was considering the purchase of the Amott property to construct a housing development. In removing this section from the "Scope of Work"; FEMA required EVWD to replace the Amott section within a two -year period regardless of the property being developed by Centex Homes or any other developer. The two - year period is due to expire on November 12, 2009. FEMA mitigation funding is normally 75 %, however, funding for this project was established at only 55% FEMAshare and 45 %EVWD share. Listed below is the original approved FEMA budget with and without the Amott property and the eanount awarded to EV WD/North Fork.

In early July 2007, I was informed by our State OES representative that some agencies who had been awarded funds from account number 1498 had defaulted on their projects. These actions returned funds to account 1498, which now has an available balance of $3,355,000. As a result of this information I submitted a new budget to OES and FEMA to increase the FEMA cost share to 75% funding and to reestablish funding for the Amott section of the project.. As a result, I was given a verbal approval for funding on 9/20/07 and instructed to submit the final paperwork requesting written approval. The final paperwork has been submitted.

This new treatment plant will allow the District to efficiently treat for perchlorate from three Wells (11 A, 12A and 28A) at a single site as well as allow the District to be prepared for potential future contaminants and expand / replace tired booster stations, reservoirs and appurtenances. The next phase of work consists of three parts: A water quality analysis and resin pilot study, a resin manufacturer procurement package and a preliminary Design Report. The first part includes reviewing and performing analysis on the water quality produced by the three Wells in question (11A, 12A, and 28A). Water quality can have a significant affect on how an ion exchange resin performs while removing the contaminant of choice (in this case perchlorate). Several ions such as nitrate and sulfate are very similar to the perchlorate ion and will fight for space on the same resins meant to remove perchlorate. Different resins perform better in certain water quality environments. A Pilot Study will be performed to verify the top two resins most suited to remove perchlorate as determined in the water quality analysis. The pilot study will be similar to the one operated at Plant 134. The second part of the next phase of work includes developing a bid procurement package for the manufacturers of the different types of resins and ion exchange units to bid against. It is important to determine the manufacturer of these types of resins at this point in the design due to the significant variability in size, shape and functionality of the ion exchange units and their respective components. Once the manufacturer is determined through the bid process, the final phase of design may be completed with a certain manufacturer in mind. This will give a better overall 0 October 3, 2007 design than trying to accommodate all forms of membrane packages in the final design. The third part of the next phase of work includes developing a preliminary design report. This initial design phase starts with the concepts and scenarios developed in the Plant 150 Conceptual Design Study performed by CDM and continues to develop them by incorporating actual treatment plant layouts, building plans, reservoir plans, details, etc. needed for construction. This initial design phase will be limited to about 30% of the complete design. A preliminary design report with plans will be submitted to the District at the completion of this phase. A proposal from CDM to perform the Preliminary Design Report, Resin Pilot Study and Resin Manufacturer Procurement Package has been submitted (see attached). The proposal describes in detail the work that CDM will provide in order to complete the project as described. The total cost of CDM's proposal is $721,373. CDM's knowledge of the District's staff, standards, and procedures and familiarity with this project gives them significant advantage over other consulting firms to perform this work. I recommend that the District accept CDM's proposal to perform this next phase of work. The Board approved budget for fiscal year 2007 /08 included $800,000 for the Plant 150 design project. The timeline for this project is 14 -15 months and therefore will go beyond this fiscal year. In a separate memo to Bob and the Board (same Board Agenda), I will be recommending approval for the Plant 134 design project at $297,687 (please refer to that memo for a detailed discussion of that design project). The Board approved budget for fiscal year 2007/08 included $150,000 for the Plant 134 design project. The timeline for that project is 6 -7 months and should be completed this fiscal year. Staff estimates there is enough in the two budget categories to cover both design costs submitted for this fiscal year. In other words, invoicing for the Plant 134 project would use all of its allocation and the rest coming from the Plant 150 Design project budget. The remainder of the Plant 150 Design project budget would also cover the Plant 150 Design cost for that portion of work completed this fiscal year.

The plant will be designed to allow for future expansion including increase in the capacity and, as it may be necessary, addition of treatment processes for nitrate and trichloroethylene (PCE) removal This scope of work is for the Phase 1 facilities, as described in the Plant 150 Conceptual Design Study report prepared by CDM, and adopted by the District's Board on July 24, 2007 Although the site space is available, the design of future facilities is not included in this project. Based on the Plaint 150 Conceptual Design Study report, it was decided the Plant 150 will use non- regenerable ion exchange (IX) resin for perchlorate removal. Recently, there have been some experimental programs at the District's well sites to develop methods for biological regeneration of the spent perchlorate ion exchange resins. The results of these experimental efforts will be evaluated to assess applicability of on -site biological resin regenerations for Plant 150. Project Objectives Principal objectives of this project phase are to: o Develop and execute a well water sampling program that will provide water quality data necessary for further project implementation activities, including design and pilot Page 1 of 14 testing. • Design and construct a pilot testing facility, and test two ion exchange resins in order to select the preferred non - regenerable resin for Plant 150. • Develop the preliminary design (equivalent to 30 % design) using the selected ion exchange technology, and issue a Preliminary Design Report (PDR). • Prepare equipment procurement documents for the selected nonregenerable resin and ion exchange technology. • Assist the District with procurement of the process equipment. Project Task Descriptions This Scope of Work consists of seven tasks including: Y Task 1- Water Quality Analysis • Task 2 - Pilot Testing • Task 3 - Geotechnical Investigations • Task 4 - Preliminary Design Report • Task 5 - Equipment Pre - Selection Bid Package • Task 6 - Quality Control • Task 7- Project Management Each task consists of a number of subtasks and activities as follows. Task I - Water Quality Analysis To provide necessary data for selection of the perchlorate ion exchange resin,District will conduct additional well water sampling and laboratory water quality analysis.The additional water quality data will provide information on balanced water ion conposition, which is important for modeling the performance of the ion exchange unit process. The newly acquired data together with currently available datawill be used to assess the presence of other ions competing with Perchlorate for exchange sites, and to develop the design for the pilot testing facility. It is anticipated that District staff wi1_1 coordinate water samples and laboratory analysis for a period of four consecutive months The District will provide the results of the laboratory analysis to CDM for engineering interpretation, preparation for pilot testing and preliminary design.

Five (5) copies of the draft technical memorandum will be submitted to the District for review. District review comments will be addressed andthen the final technical memorandum will be issued. CDM will submit five (5) copies of the final technical memorandumto the District. Task'1 Deliverables: • Sampling and Iab testing methods • Draft Technical Memorandum (TM)1 -Well Water Quality Testing Report • Draft TM1 Review Meeting • Final TM1- Well Water Quality Testing Report Task 2 -Resin Selection and Pilot Testing In order to evaluate ion exchange resins and assess the impact of varying influent water constituents on IX resin, CDM proposes an approach consisting of a desktop analysis and pilot testing. Task: 2.1 Desktop Analysis As the first step in, the resin selection process, CDM will conduct a literatur review of commercially available non•regenerable perchlorate- selective resins. CDM will also seek recommendations for preferred IX resins from the three ion exchange equipment manufacturers who were engaged during the previous Conceptual Design Study and who are knowledgeable of the Plant 150 influent water quality. Based on this review, CDM will rank the resins andpre- select three resins for modeling. Ranking will be based on resin perchlorate removal capacity, selectivity for perc l- Borate, prior history of use, and available third-party data. Resin Modeling For the selected resins, CDM will coordinate with-nsin manufacturers to obtain resin characteristics required for modeling. Based on the resin characteristics provided by the manufacturers and water quality data from the three existing wells, CDM will model performance of the selected resins by applying the Equilibrium Multicomponent Chromatography Theory (EMCT) ion exchange model The goal of the modeling is to evaluate the impact of varying influentwater quality on resin performance (measured as bed volumes [BV]) and to select two resins for pilot testing. The resins will be ranked in order of effectiveness. It is anticipated that a maximum of 15 model simulations will be performed to determine the perc:hlorate performance of the resins for various water qualilies.The three pre - selected resins, based on the desl- -top analysis, will be modeled for the following influent water qualities: (1) Average contaminant levels,blencied influent water (2) Elevated nitrate levels, average for other constituents, blended influent water (3) Elevated sulfate levels, average for other constituents, blended influent water (1) Elevated perchlorate levels, average for other constituents, blended influent water Page 1 of I I (5) Elevated nitrate and sulfate levels, average for other constituents, blended influent water Resin Selection Technical Memorandum The results from the literature review, modeling, and recommendations for pilot testing will be summarized in a technical memorandum. CDM will providefive (5) copies of the draft and final technical memorandum for the District's review. Task 2.2 Pilot Testing Based on the modeling outputs, CDM will select two resins for pilot testing.The pilot testing will be conducted to verify the modeling results, and to make final selection of one resin for full scale application The pilot testing results will also be used to develop design for the full scale facility. More specifically, the goals of the pilot study are as follows: • Evaluate resin capacities for perchlorate removal and select a single resin for Plant 150. • Assess impact of competing ions including nitrate and sulfate on perchlorate removal. • Assess life expectancy of the tested resins • Provide data for sizing and designing of the IX treatment system. • Assess potential for resin fouling and backwashing requirements The pilot testing facility will consist of four4 -inch diameter columns with a 4 8-inch resin bed depth. Pilot testing will be conducted for a period of time of four months. The location of the pilot testing facility and the source water for pilot testingwill be determined by pilot testing protocol prior to installation of the pilot equipment and commencement of the pilot testing The following subtasks describe the specifics of the pilot testing study. Task 21A - Pilot Testing Protocol CDM will prepare a detailed pilot testing protocol to define pilot testing plans and procedures including pilot plant operations and maintenance imtructions,IX resin tests, field data measurements and frequencies, sample collection and handling protocol, lab water quality analysis and testing methods, and data handling and logging forms The anticipated pilot testing plan is shown in Table 2. The proposed pilot testing plan will be reviewed with the Dist ict in a meeting. CDM will provide five (5) copies of the draft and final testing protocol for the District's review.

After the location and source water have been identified, CDM engineers will coordinate'with CDM Constructors Inc. (CCI) to design and construct the pilot testing facilities at the preselected project site. Accurate costs associated with pilot plant equipnentwill be estimated upon completion of the design for the pilot plant. Task 2.2C - Engineering Support during Pilot Plant Installation and Startup Once equipment is manufactured and delivered at the pilot plant site, CCI with engineering support will assemble the equipment into the pilot plant and will perform initial start -up. This phase will include delivery and installation of pilottesting units, pumps, piping and other auxiliary equipment CDM assumes that a maximum of three design engineer site visits will be required to assist: with installation and start -up. Task 2.21) - Pilot Operation Once the pilot is constructed and start -up period completed, CDM will support pilot plant operation. A CD.M junior pilot plant operations engineer will be trained for operations and maintenance of the pilot plant. The pilotplant operations engineer will attend the pilot plant five days per week for five hour per day to record field measured data, conduct field tests, collect and prepare samples for lab tests, monitor plant performance, and adjust plant operation as needed. It is anticipated that District staff will monitor the pilot testing facil_itywhen not attended by the CDM's plot operations engineer and promptly notify CDM of any problems that are observed. The District will cover all costs associated with sample shipments and laboratory testing fees. ?a2e 6 or 1 Task 2:.2E - Data Collection and Analysis Throughout the four month duration of the pilot testing, CDM will receive, properly log and provide engineering interpretation of the collected data. CDM will report to the District progress in the pilot testing by preparing monthly Pilot Testing Progress Reports that will be issued in a form of technical memoranda There will be 4 monthly Pilot Testing Progress Meetings to discuss the monthly testing reports and to assess overall pilot testing activities. Task 2.217 - Pilot Study Report At conclusion of the pilot testing, a pilot study report will be prepared to document the testing operations, present: the results, and discuss the pilot testing findings. The report will also recommend which resin shall be used for the full scale facility, and will develop operating and design criteria for design of. the full scale ion exchange system. CDM will provide five (5) copies Of the draft and final testing report for the District's review.

To supplement existing information and to provide site - specific foundation design and earthwork recommendations, a geotechnical investigation will be performed within the footprint of the proposed structures. CDM will drill up to seven (7) borings within the footprint of the structures and driveway to characterize the subsurface conditions. Borings will be drilled _`ron truck- mounted rig equipped with. hollow stem auger. Borings will be advanced to a range Pace 7 of 14 of 5 to 50 feet below the existing grade, or to refusal, whichever is shallowe; but will not exceed a total borehole length of 200 feet. If encounter, ground water levels will be monitored, and ground water level results will be reported in the Geotechnical Report. Sampling with the California sampler and the split spoon sampler will be attempted at intervals of about 21/2 -feet within the upper 10 feet, and at intervals of 5 -feet thereafter. Selected samples will be submitted to a subcontracted laboratory to evaluate pertinent geotechnical characteristics. Grain size distribution, expansion potential, Atterberg limis, moisture and density, corrosion potential, direct shear strength measurements, consolidation,and R -value will be performed as appropriate on selected soil samples to assess the physical characteristics of the subsurface soils encountered at the site. CD1v1 will perform geotechnical engineering analyses based on data obtained from the proposed field and laboratory testing to provide geotechnical input forthe design of foundations, earth pressures for below -grade walls and shoring, pipeline support and backfill, pavement sections, and to address other pertinent geotechnical issues. Specific geologic hazards, such as soil liquefaction potential and seismically induced settlements within the structure area$ will be addressed. Foundation types and estimated allowable bearing capacities and settlements will be provided, as appropriate, based on design structural loads. Seismic design parameters and peak ground acceleration (in accordance with the California Building Code[CBC]) will be evaluated. The findings will be provided in a geotechnicalreport. A technical memorandum; included as an appendix to the PDR, will summarize the results of the geotechnical investigation. Task 3 Deliverables: O Field boreholes, Lab testing data Geotechnical Report TM 3.1- Summanj of Geotechnical Investigation CDM will provide five (5) copies of the summary geotechnical report for the District's review. Task 4 - Preliminary Design Report A Draft Preliminary Design Report (PDR) will be prepared for Plant 150 at an initial capacity of up to 7,000 gpm, expandable to 12,000 gpm. Plant 150 will be designed initially to remove perchlorate from. the well water, and to allow for a future expansion of treatment processes to remove nitrate and PCE, if necessary. Plant 150 will consist of a perchlorate removal IX system, product water storage tanks, a sodium hypochl_orite storage and feed system, a product water pump station, emergency power generation, plant electrical installations, instrumentation and control, an operations building,yard piping, and auxiliary facilities including fencing,access roads and' landscaping. -lie plant will be designed as a fully automated facility, capable of operations without a plant operator in attendance for the duration of a fourday long Page '0 of 1'' weekend. Plant 150 Capacity and Flow Rates Initially, Plant 150 will receive raw water from the following threeexisting wells: • Well 11A = 2,500 gpm • Well 12A = 2,.500 gpm • Well 28A = 2,000 gpm These wells will provide Plant 150 with a total initial capacity of7,000 gpm As intermediate and long termwater demands grow, more wells will be drilled to provide up to 5,000 gpm of additional water supply from the Lower Zone. It is anticipated thatthe additional capacity may be acquired by drilling two new wells, oneof which will be located at the Plant 150 sate. At this point, it is assumed as a worst case scenario that the new well water willneed to be treated for the identified contaminants of concemat Plant 150, which would bring the ultimate plant capacity up to 12,000 gpm. And with 5,000 gpm of the imported water from the San Bernardino Valley Water District (MUNI) projected for around 2012, the Plant 150 total hydraulic capacity will be 17,000 gpm. The Plant 150 shall be designed to provide the following three operational scenarios. First, water produced by all current and future wells plus water imported from MUNI will be sent to P150 for further treatment and pumping to Lower and Intermediate Zones. As an option, allow for the Well 11A and /or the MUNI flows to bypass the Perchlorate treatment train and to blend it with treated water from Wells 12A and 28A. If this approach proves feasible and acceptable to the Department of Public Health (DPH), the Plant 150 initial treatment capacity for perchlorate removal could be reduced to 5,000 gpm. Second scenario assumes that all water produced by current and additional new wells will be sent to P150 and imported water from MUNI will be sent to Lower Zone. And finally, third scenario assumes that all flows from currently existing wells 11A, 12A and 28A will be sent to Lower Zone and flows from MUNI and future wells to Plant 150.:. Other capacities and flow rates important for designing the Plant 150 f acilitiesincl ade: • Initial Lower Zone finished water pumping capacity: 2,000 gpm • Ultimate Lower Zone finished water pumping capacity: 5,000 gpm ® Initial Intermediate Zone finished water pumping capacity. 7,000 gpm • Ultimate Intermediate Zone finished water pumping capacity. 12,000 gpm • Maxim-un:imported water from the San Bernardino Valley Water District: 5,000 gpm Hydraulic Evaluation of Existing Wells 11A, 12A, and 28A CDM will perform an evaluation of thepumping and hydraulic conditions of the existing Wells 11A, 12A, and 28A to identify the well pump modifications necessary to bring the influent water to the Plant 150 site. The Plant 150 design will assume that the well pumpswill provide sufficient discharge head to overcome head losses through the In process train eliminating the necessity for a plant influent pump station. For short term operations, exar_nine feasibility and assess benefits of the existing well pump and booster station to be used for both transferring Page 9 of 14 0 water to P150 and pumping into the Lower Zone. For long term operations, design well pump modifications to deliver water to the Plant 150 at required head, and remove booster station at Plant 12. Ion Exchange Treatment System The perchlorate removing IX process will be sized and designed based on pilot testing results and the Pilot Testing Study Report recommendations. The system will utilize a non- regenerable resin capable of removing perchlorate in product water to levels equal to or below 4 ppb. The perchlorate- removing IX reactors will be designed in pairs, and piped to allow for lead -lag operation modes. The Perchlorate - removing IX process train will include a pretreatment system to reduce suspended solids and other particulates in the feed water, effectively minimizing clogging and backwashing of the resin beds. The Perchlorate treatment system will also include a backwashing system consisting of backwash water storage tanks, backwash pumps and, if necessary, an air system. Product Water Storage and Disinfection Facilities The Plant 150 product water will he stored in two above grade steel tanks, each with a 750,000 gallon capacity. The storage tanks will allow for disinfection of the product water with free chlorine, and will be designed to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements For disinfection and to provide a chlorine residual in the finished water, Plant 150 will use vendor- delivered sodium hypochlorite at an assumed concentration of 12.5 percent. The sodium hypochlorite system will be designed to provide 14-day storage, and will consist of a sodium hypochlorite fill station, storage tanks, containment, chemical metering pumps and double wall containment piping (or chemically resistant containment trenches). Finished Water Pump Station The .finished water pump station will be designed with two sets of pumps, including Lower Zone pumps and Intermediate Zone pumps. The Lower Zone pumps will be capable of pumping initial Z,000 gpm and ultimate 5,000 gpm directly into the distribution system. The Intermediate Zone pumps will initially be capable of transferring 7,000 gpm of the finished water to the Intermediate Zone distribution and reservoir system, and will be expandable to allow for the pumping of an additional 5,000 gpm. The finished water pump station will use split case centrifugal pumps with constant speed drives for the Intermediate Zone transfer pnunps, and VFD drives for the Lower Zone pumps. The pump station will be located between the two product water storage tanks which will also serve as clear wells for the pumps. Pumps and all accessories, including control panels and motor starters, will be designed for indoor application. Emergency Power Supply An evaluation study will be conducted to select the best emergency power supply system. The study will evaluate applicable fuels including diesel, nahzal gas, and liquid propane, as well as engine motors, and portable and fixed generators. in addition to cost and applicability °age 10 of 11 0 evaluation criteria, the Plant 150 vicinity to school facilitiesand the corresponding applicable permit requirements (to be provided by EVWD) will be considered when evaluating an alternative emergency power generation system. Operations Building The Operations Building will be designed as one story building that will housea plant control room., a small field. laboratory, and an electrical room. The Operations Building will be approximately 1600 square feet. Yard. Piping Underground piping will be sized for the ultimate flow conditions.Stub -outs and valves will be provided to accommodate potential future facility connections. SCADA system integration CDM will conduct a conceptual level studyto understand and integrate the Plant 150 facilities into the District's existing SCADA system. The Plant 150 SCADA system will define overall plant programmable logic control, necessary interfaces, and a telemetry system compatible with and integrated into the District-wide SCADA system. Evaluation of existing waste stream disposal facilities CDM will evaluate disposal options for the used IX backwash water, including recycling and discharge into the sewage system. For each of the two alternatives, CDM will identify regulatory requirements and develop cost efficient and (for regulatory agencies) acceptable pre - treatment processes. This effort will be coordinated with DPH, the city of San Bernardino, and the District Review of Guidelines for Physical Security of Water Utilities CDlvl will provide a cursory evaluation to determine facility requirements based on a new guidance document by ASCE /AWWA for the physical security of the water utilities.

This portion of the perchlorate pipeline project (Phase I) consisted of the treated water pipelines, which could and was incorporated into the District's distribution system. Phase II of the perchlorate pipeline consists of two sections of raw water pipelines to move the water from the affected perchlorate Wells to the corresponding centralized treatment plants (Plant 150 and Plant 152), as well as, one treated water pipeline to move the water from Plant 152 along Date Street to Sterling. A loan was obtained to pay for most, if not all of the pipeline materials in both phases. As of August 31, 2007, the amount available to use for purchasing additional pipeline materials is $1,192,010.20. Attached to this memo are the cost estimates for each of three sections of the phase II perchlorate pipeline project. At this time, I do not recommend purchasing the material for the North Project (this section deals with the raw water pipelines from Wells 25A, 24A, 24B and 107 to future Plant 152) since Plant 152 has been put on hold for a short period. The estimated price to purchase materials for the remaining two projects is $825,980, well below the amount available to purchase said materials. I recommend that the District move forward with bidding the pipeline materials for the raw water 6`h Street project and the treated water Date Street project. ?VWD - Perchlorate Treatment Project Phase 2 Bid Tab - All Projects North Proiect Item No. Description Estimated Quantity Unit Unit Price (words) Unit Price Numbers Total Amount Numbers 1 20" DIP CL 250 2,223 LF $36.39 $80,894.97 2 20" DIP CL 250 Restrained 1,238 LF $49.49 $61,268.62 3 20" DIP CL 350 Restrained 251 LF $53.93 $13,536.43 4 12" DIP CL 250 382 LF $18.40 $7,028.80 5 12" DIP CL 250 Restrained 291 LF $23.98 $6,978.18 6 10" DIP CL 350 711 LF $14.40 $10,238.40 7 10" DIP CL 350 Restrained 408 LF $19.07 $7,780.56 8 10" - 450 Bend 2 EA $194.75 $389.50 9 10" - 900 Bend 2 EA $220.30 $440.60 10 12" - 900 Bend 3 EA $296.61 $889.83 11 20" - 900 Bend 3 EA $1,266.50 $3,799.50 12 20" - 45° Bend 6 EA $1,117.05 $6,702.30 13 20" - 22.50 Bend 3 EA $1,129.30 $3,387.90 14 12" Tee (Ste)el 1 EA $1,756.77 1 $1,756.77 15 20" Tee 1 EA 51,977.84 1 $1,977.84 $1,850.40 $1,850.40 16 8" Butterfly Valve 3 EA $640.51 $1,921.53 17 12" Butterfly Valve 6 EA $1,041.51 $6,249.06 18 20" Butte v Valve 3 EA $3,066.70 $9,200.10 19 20" Blind Flange 2 EA $509.95 $1,019.90 20 12" Blind Flange 1 EA $90.30 $90.30 21 '10 "X8" Reducer Std 1 EA $154.18 $154.18 22 20 "x10" Eccentric Reducer 1 EA $860.30 $860.30 23 20 "x12" Eccentric Reducer 1E $852.78 $852.78 24 8" Tee 1 EA $183.39 $183.39 Sub Total: $227,474 Date St. Proiect Item No. Description Estimated Quantit Unit Unit Price (words) Unit Price Numbers Total Amount (Numbers) 1 20" DIP CL 250 2,920 LF $36.39 $106,258.80 2 20 "DIP CL 250 Restrained 1,009 LF $49.49 $49,935.41 3 20" - 900 Bend 4 EA $1,266.50 $5,066.00 4 20 " -45 °Bend 3 EA $1,117.05 $3,351.15 5 20" - `,1.25° Send 2 EA $1,065.95 $2,131.90 6 20" - 22.50 Bend 2 EA $1,129.30 $2,258.60 7 20 "X14 "Tee 1 EA $1,743.23 $1,743.23 8 14" Tee 1 EA $843.24 5843.24 9 12" Butterfly Valve 1 EA i $1,041.51 $1,041.51 10 14" ButTerfly Valve 1 EA $1,666.36 $1,666.36 11 12" Tee 1 EA i $424.79 i $424.79 12 20"X12" Tee 1 EA $1,663.83 1 $1,663.83 13 20" Biind Flan e 1 EA S509.95 i $509.95 14 20 "X16" Eccentric Reducer 1 I EA $1,002.03 $1,002.03 15 20 "X'16 "Tappin Sleeve, CS 1 EA 51,977.84 1 $1,977.84 16 16" h'a've!- zosn9) Full Port GV 1 EA S5,465.57 55,465.57 Sub °ota!; ': b*,suu .,i St. Project Item No. Description Estimated Quantity Unit Unit Price (words) Unit Price Numbers Total Amount Numbers 1 30" DIP CL 250 3916 LF $59,409 $74.00 $289,784.00 2 30" DIP CL 250 Restrained 1377 LF Grand Total: $97.10 $133,706.70 3 24" DIP CL 250 Restrained 38 LF $77.68 $2,951.84 4 16" DIP CL 250 614 LF $26.90 $16,516.60 5 16" DIP CL 250 Restrained 897 LF $36.76 1 $32,973.72 6 30" - 45° Bend 2 EA $3,455.65 $6,911.30 7 30" - 90° Bend 3 EA $3,876.00 $11,628.00 8 16" - 45° Bond 4 EA $558.36 $2,233.44 9 16 " -90 °Bend 2 EA $659.16 $1,318.32 10 16" Tee (Steel) 2 EA $3,064.87 $6,129.74 11 30" Tee 1 EA $5,303.00 $5,303.00 12 30" Butterfly Valve 2 EA $9,567.95 $19,135.90 13 30" Blind Flein e 1 EA 1 $1,134.70 $1,134.70 14 30"X16" Reducer Std 1 EA $2,567.88 $2,567.88 15 30 "X36" Eccentric: Reducer 1 EA $4,002.10 $4,002.10 16 36" Butterfly`✓alve 1 EA $11,793.55 $11,793.55 17 16" Tee 1 EA $950.59 $950.59 18 16" Butterfly Valve 6 EA $2,004.31 $12,025.86 19 30 "X16" Tee 1 EA $3,926.28 $3,926.28 20 30 "X24" Tee 1 EA $5,163.50 $5,163.50 21 24"X12" Tee 1 EA $2,1.85.76 $2,185.76 22 12" Butterfly Valve 1 EA $1,041.51 $1,041.51 23 12" Blind Flange 1 EA $90.30 $90.30 24 24" - 900 Bend 1 EA $1,997.13 $1,997.13 25 26 24 "X16" Reducer Std 24" Butterfly Valve 1 1 EA EA $1,343.76 $4,415.05 $1,343.76 $4,415.05 Sub Total: $581,231 Summary Date St. Project $185,340 6th St. Project $581,231 Total: $766,571 S.Tax: 7.75% $59,409 Freight to jobsite: Included O&M: Included Grand Total: $825,980 < Total w/o North project 0 Memorandum To: Bob Martin, General Manager n (From: Ron Buchwald, District Engineer IDate: 10/3/2007 Re: Plant 134 P.A.D. Surface Water Treatment Plant — Upgrade and Expansion On June 12 of this year, the Board approved the Membrane Pilot Study on membrane performance performed by CDM along with a recommendation by staff to proceed with the next phase of design in regards to the expansion and upgrade of the Plant 134 Surface Water Treatment Plant. The upgrade includes changing the treatment process from the current traditional treatment process to a membrane filtration process that will better handle removal of total organic carbon and other current and potential future surface water contaminants. The treatment plant will be expanded from 4 MGD to 8 MGD. There are two parts to the next phase of work. The first includes the preliminary design report. This initial design phase starts with the concepts and scenarios developed in the Plant 134 Upgrade and Expansion Study performed by CDM and continues to develop them by incorporating actual design layouts and details needed for construction. This initial design phase is usually limited to about 30% of the complete design. A preliminary report with plans will be submitted to the District at the completion of this phase. The second part of the next phase of work includes developing a bid procurement package for the manufacturers of the different types of membranes to bid against. It is important to determine the manufacturer of the membrane at this point in the design due to the significant variability in size, shape and functionality of the membranes and the respective components. Once the manufacturer is determined through the bid process, the final phase of design may be completed with a certain manufacturer in mind. This will give a better overall design than trying to accommodate all forms of membrane packages in the final design. A proposal from CDM to perform the Preliminary Design Report and Membrane Procurement Package has been submitted (see attached). The proposal describes in detail the work that CDM will provide in order to complete the initial phase of October 3, 2007 design as well as develop a bid procurement package to go to bid for the membrane manufacturer for this project. The total cost of CDM's proposal is $297,687. CDM's knowledge of the District's staff, standards, and procedures and familiarity with this project gives them significant advantage over other consulting firms to perform this work. I recommend that the District accept CDM's proposal to perform this next phase of work. The Board approved budget for fiscal year 2007/08 included $150,000 for this Plant 134 design project. The timeline for this project is 6 -7 months and should be completed this fiscal year. In a separate memo to Bob and the Board (same Board Agenda), I will be recommending approval for the Plant 150 design project at $721,373 (please refer to that memo for a detailed discussion of that design project). The Board approved budget for fiscal year 2007/08 included $800,000 for that design project. The timeline for that project is 14 -15 months and therefore will go beyond this fiscal year. Staff estimates there is enough in the two budget categories to cover both design costs submitted for this fiscal year. In other words, invoicing for the Plant 134 project would use all of its allocation and the rest coming from the Plant 1.50 Design project budget. The remainder of the Plant 150 Design project budget would also cover the Plant 150 Design cost for that portion of work completed this fiscal year. 2 9220 Cleveland Avenue, Suite 100 Rancho Cucamonga, Calbrnia 91730 tel: 909 579 -3500 fax: 909 980 -5185 August 30, 2007 Mr. Ron Buchwald, P.E.

The District utilizes the Plant 134 to treat both imported and local water supply sources. Plant 134 has a capacity of 4 mgd and utilizes a proprietary package treatment system consisting of contact clarification and granular media filtrationwith backwash and surface wash pumps, Roberts Pacer H. Alum is used as the coagulantwith cationic, nonionic and anionic polymers available as coagulant and filter aids. Sodium hypochlorite, generated on -site, is used to apply free chlorine as the primary and secondary disinfectant. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) is used for pH adjustment to satisfy corrosion control objectives. Waste contact clarifier and filter washwater is stored inthree on -site washwater recovery lagoons. Excess solids settle while up to 10 percent of the remaining volume is decanted and recycled back to the head of the plant. The remainder either evaporates or is discharged to the City Creek in conformance with the District' s discharge permit. Periodically, a lagoon is removed from service and the solids left to dry. The solids are $hen removed and landfilled. The District utilizes free chlorine as its disinfectant and maintains a free chlorine residual throughout the distribution system Free chlorine can react with natural organics in the source water to form chlorination disinfection byproducts. Maximum contaminant levels and monitoring frequencies for Total Trihalomethane (TTHM) were originally established in the initial Surface Water Treatment Rule. These were later refined and expanded to include Haloacetic Acid (T iAAS) as part of the Stage 1 DBP Rule. That rule required compliance based on mmming annual average results for representative samples collected from the distribution system. The recently promulgated Stage 2 DBP Rule requires that compliance be based on running anmYal average results at each sampling location within the distribution system. Utilities are also required to perform a study to identify and then select new monitoring sites, including those with a high formation potential for TTHM and HAAS. The District is currently performing this study. The District is expected to have difficulty complying with the Stage 2 DBP Rule requirements. As such, an evaluation of alternatives to upgrade and expand Plant 134 was completed in January 2007. This evaluation also considered recent deterioration in the local source water quality as a result: of the operation of the newly constructed Seven Oaks Dam. The January 2007 study recommended that lox pressure or submerged membranes (micro or ultrafiltration) be utlized in a direct filtr ation mode withthe existing contact clarifier and granular media ftt ter PaQe- 1 of 6 basins converted to flocculation basins ahead of the membranes. N icroffltration and ultrafiltration membranes alone have negligible impact on removing DBP precursors bit can be effective in combination with a coagulation process. The membrane alternative was preferred because it is cost competitive with other alternatives, can meet the overall treatment objectives, is able to readily fit into the existing site footprintwithout the need to eliminate a washwater lagoon, is a robust treatment process that can address the deteriorated local source water qualify, and has gained wide acceptance in the drinking water industry as a very effective filtration process. 'It was recommended that a pilot study be conducted to further establish and refine the operating requirements. It was also recommended that the District's staff visit several full-scale membrane facilities to develop familiarity with the processes and to better un&rstand operational impacts associated with this upgrade. The pilot study was completed and a Final Report submitted in June 2007. The pilot study evaluated low pressure and a submerged membrane systems while treating imported State Water Project (SWP) source water. The timing of the study did not allow evaluation of the local Santa. Ana River (SAR) source water under worst water quality conditions. However, some useful data was collected for operation with the best quality SAR source water (that which bypasses the dam). Polyaluminum chloride and ferric chloride were evaluated as coagulants. The District expressed an interest in maintaining an aluminum based coagulant. However, ferric chloride appeared more consistently effective in reducing DBP precusors. The pilot study found that slightly higher coagulant dosages were required for both membrane systems and membrane filter (flux) rates needed to be reduced for the submerged membrane process to meet overall treatment objectives as compared to those anticipated in the alternatives evaluation study. The overall cost of this alternative increased but it was still felt to be the preferred option. The membranes were operated conservatively relative to chemical cleanings (frequency limited to once every 30 days), primarily because the District may have limited options for neutralized chemical cleaning disposal. Typically these are disposed of to a local sewer. The pilot study recommended that both submerged and low pressure membranes be considered further as they are both effective and will enhance competitive bidding. However, due to the significant difference in layouts it was and is recommended that a specific membrane be selected prior to commencing final design. This project will develop the requkte bid documents to accommodate this pre - selection The pilot study results did not indicate that additional benefits in water quality or membrane performance were realized by flocculation following initial coagulation for either the submerged or the pressurized membrane systems. Similarly, other recent studies oncomparable waters have indicated that flocculation time after initial coagulation has not provided a marked improvement on finished water quality beyond coagulation alone upstream of ultrafitration or microfiltration membranes. Unlike media filters, which remove contaminants utilizing the entire depth of media, membrane filtration utilizes only the surface of the membrane, allowing a gel layer of coagulant to accumulate at the surface and providing additional adsorption and removal of organics. The ability to operate in either an on-line filtration (no flocculation) or a direct filtration mode (with flocculation) waspreviously recommended. However, another option may provide benefits and is worth additional consideration in thus phase of work. This would involve -ati lz mg the existing contact clarifier and fill ahead o£ the membranes but change out the Page 2 of O 0 media with granular activated carbon (GAC) to help remove DBP precursors and reduce the coagulant dose required. This would allow the District the full flexibility to operate as originally envisioned, in-line filtration with or without coagulant, or with a new GAC pretreatment step with or without coagulant. The GAC pretreatment process would not be operated to optimize turbidity but to provide additional organics removal. As such, the overall coagulant dose can likely be reduced and a higher filter rate could be used with the membrane systems. This could reduce the overall life cycle costs. CDM proposes to evaluate this option further and make a recommendation :in the PDR. Unfortunately, pilot testing at this time is notfeasible, due to time constraints and the need to move forward toward a plant expansion Nonetheless, reasonable assumptions can be made relative to the potential benefits and carried forward, if recommended. A cursory evaluation of pre- versus post -GAC will also be included. Although the District has focused to date on upgrading and expanding Plant 134 to treat imported water, the continued use of the plant to treat low -cost Santa Ana River water (local source) is a major consideration A new membrane system as proposed will provide better flexibility in treating the local supply source when the water quality detaiorates. In addition to treatment, improvements at the Northfork turnout should be considered. This would include additional screening that will prevent larger debris items from passing into the Northfork canal and settling in the canal or passing on to Plant 134, thereby requiring the canal and/or screens at the plant to be removed from service and cleaned. CDM proposes to evaluate up to two alternatives associated with this as part of the proposal. Additional items to be evaluated in the PDR include chemical cleaning waste disposal and choice of coagulant (for example, ferric chloride versus ferric sulfate). 1.2 Project Objectives The objectives of this project are to develop a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) and a membrane pre - selection bid package.

Task 2 - Preliminary Activities- Investigations In order to develop the PDR, additional evaluations of process refinements and investigations of the existing facilities are required. The following investigation steps are required: • Step 2.A Evaluate Existing Plant 134 Design Data • Step 2.B Site Investigations • Step 2.0 Additional Process Evaluations The Step 2.A activities will involve the use of existing District design data for Plant 134. This includes as- builts of the existing plant facilities (electronic AutoCAD drawings preferred), specifications, and reports, such as geotechnical reports for the existing site and future expansion. Available shop drawings of existing facilities will also be reviewed. CDM will review the various codes that are applicable to new construction at the existing site. Step 2.A will also :include development /refinement of preliminary process flow and P &ID figures, preliminary data sheets for mechanical equipment and a single line diagram for electricaL The data sheets will include structural and electrical loads, along with control /monitoring strategies. A preliminary hydraulic profile through the plant will be developed for the expanded 8 mgd condition. Based on the findings of Steps 2.A and 2.C, additional needs from site investigations will be identified. CDM will than meet with the District to discuss these findings and additional needs as well as preliminary design assumptions relative to facility locations, strutural and electrical loads, local and remote control /monitoring strategies, and upgrades to existing facilities /equipment to remain in service Step 23 will consist of site investigations. It is anticipated that at least one visit will be made to the site by CDM's civil, process mechanical, structural, electrical and instrumentation and controls engineer to evaluate existing site conditions and facilities relative to the planned expansion. The results of Steps 2.A through 2.0 will be used to refine the design assumptions so that a draft PDR can be prepared. Step 2.0 entails additional evaluations of the fallowing: conversion of the existing Roberts Pacer I modules to flocculation basins or to preGAC contactors • waste chemical cleaning disposal options • choice of ferric coagulant • evaluate up to two alternatives for a screened intake at the Northfork canal Please note that the alternatives evaluated at <he No thfork canal turnout wi77 not include detailed analysis of potential environmental impacts /requirements, geotechnical issues, a-e Daft- 4 o` 6 available local power supply or remote monitoring capabilities. The malysis will include an evaluation and recommendation of any additional studies or data that would be needed to develop a design. Task. 3 - Prepare Draft Preliminary Design Report A Draft Preliminary Design Report will be prepared for the Districts review.

DATED. October 9, 20 KIP E. STURGEON, Preshlent EDWARD S. NEG T ice President Director DON D �. G ODIN, Director Attest: 7i Director ROBERT E. RTIN, Board Secretary Upper Santa Ana Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Executive Summar)r DRAFT Executive Summa Introduction In 2005, the Upper Santa Ana Water Resources Association members that share a common concern for the regions water resources met and agreed to develop an Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWM Plan). The plan would address water management issues for the communities of the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed. The goal was to capitalize on present and future water management opportunities, improve water supply reliability and self- reliance for future water supplies, and reduce dependence on imported water during drought The primary purpose of this IRWM Plan is to assist local agencies with developing tools for optimizing management and the use of water resources of the region while protecting the groundwater basins from water quality degradation. Rapid growth and need for additional water, and uncertainty of SWP water supply reliability in dry years was a driving force in developing this plan to improve water supply reliability and reducing reliance on the SWP supplies during drought Upper Santa .Ana Integrated Regional Water Managenent Plan Development of a comprehensive and coordinated regional water management plan for the Upper SAR involved the cooperation of many parties interested in wafer management, including thirteen water agencies that formed the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) with San Bernardino Valley Municipal District (Valley District) as the lead agency for development of the IRWM Plan. Stakeholders within the SAR were encouraged to participate in the planning process. Public participation continues to be promoted using many outreach techniques and opportunities. The TAG met on regular basis to address technical issues related to plan development. The TAG meetings were open to the public. The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Advisory Commission also met on regular basis to provide policy guidance to the planning process. These meetings were also open to the public. Other integrated water management activities in the region include the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority IRWM Plan, the Western Municipal Water District Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (2006), the San Jacinto Watershed Component, and the San Timoteo Watershed Management Authority IRWM Plan. Court judgments, interagency agreements between parties within and outside of the region, and pertaiuung water laws significantly influenced contents of this IRWM Plan. Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Area The Santa Ana River (SAR) is the largest stream system in Southern California. The basin topography, hydrology and disputes over the use of water in the SAR led to the subdivision of the watershed into the Upper SAR watershed anal Lower SAR watershed at a point known as the Riverside Narrows, near Riverside, upstream from Prado Dam. The IRWM Plan would cover the Upper Santa Ana Watershed, including the headwaters of the SAR until it reaches the Riverside Narrows. Figure ES -1 shows the region, - ich includes approximately 32 percent of the entire watershed and the populated u-ban areas of San Bernardi ^o and Riverside Counties_. Continued urbanization requires careful planningto assure water supply availability for the Region.

RIVFlt51pE COUNTY The regions present and future rapid population growth, the significant distinctive institutional issues, hydrological characteristics, court judgments, the unique physical characteristic of the area, and the generally separated groundwater basins all lead to the consideration of this area being a distinct regional planning area. About 55 percent of the regions land is national forest and another 16 percent is covered by native vegetation. Agriculture acreage represents a little over 2 percent and is being replaced by urban areas, now about 15 percent of the Region. Some of the communities in the Region are considered economically disadvantaged. 0 Upper Santa Ana Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Water Demands And Supplies Of The Region Surface Water Surface water makes up 20% of the total water supply in the region in 2005. Local surface water comes from the various rivers and streams ha the area including the Santa Ana River, Mill Creek, and Lytle Creek. The SAR runoff records demonstrate the higlily variable nature of river flow, with large floods and long periods of extremely Iow flow. Flow increases downstream due to inflows from numerous tributaries, rising water, and discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Urbanization Typical flood channel in the Region. taking place in the valley areas has resulted in increased responsiveness of the basin to rainfall with higher peak discharges, a shorter lag -time to the peak discharge, and an overall larger volume of water entering the local drainage clkmnels flowing through the urbanized areas of the Region. Another source of surface water is the California State Water Project (SWP). The State Water Contractors in the area include Valley District and the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency ( SGPWA). Valley District has an annual entitlement of 102,600 acre -feet and the SGPWA has an entitlement of 17,300 acre -feet. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ( MDWSC) also imports SWP supplies to the Region that is used by Westem Municipal Water District, a member agency of the MWDSC. MWDSC has Zegional distribution facilities which go through the region. The SWP supply is subject to frequent shortages such as the one experienced in 2007 as the result of decline in Delta Smelt populations in the Sacramento -San Toaquin River Delta and curtailment of pumping from the Delta. Valley District's "Rules for Service" require that all of its customers, using have a 100 percent backup for any amount of water they order from the SWP. Groundwater Groundwater makes u-o about 79% of the water stmvhes of the Region in 2005. Four groundwater basins are within the Region —Bear Valley, Big Meadows, San Bernardino County, California Seven Oaks Valley, and the Upper Santa Ana Valley. The first three basins are small and have a combined storage capacity of approximately 66,000 acre -feet. The largest basin is the Upper Santa Ana Basin which include the San Bernardino Basin Area (SBBA consist of Bunker Hill and Lytle Creek subbasins) with an estimated capacity of 5,976,000 acre -feet. Figure ES -2 shows the groundwater basins within the region. Each basin and subbasin has different and distinct geologic structures and characteristics, heavily influenced by boundary fault structures, which leads to varying groundwater attributes for each basin. The majority of the groundwater basins in the Region are governed by various judgments and legal agreements. The 1969 Western -San Bernardino Judgment provides a careful accounting of the SBBA on an annual basis. If pumping exceeds the defined safe yield of the basin, water must be imported for basin, from an outside source, to offset the amount exceeding the safe yield. Figure ES -2 Groundwater Basins Within the Upper Santa Ana lRWM Plan Area Kc, 4 SEVEN OAKS VALLEY CHINO Ali �! v j SAN JACWTO i O Upper Santa Ana ]Integrated Regional NJater Management Plan Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater is a long-standing practice in the Region. Most of the Iarger basins in this Region are managed with many conjunctive use projects being developed to optimize and manage water supply. Numerous groundwater spreading grounds have been developed to recharge the groundwater basins when adequate surface water supply is available. Groundwater management, especially in SBBA, is constrained by two factors: contamination plumes and liquefaction potential. For this reason, both of these are key management objectives in the plan. Water Budget Spreading basins are an important component in recharging groundwater basins. The IRWM Plan water budget shows the various supplies that will be used to meat damanrlc in +ho Region. The water budget IcIro$ p_; ily on the Nv update of the Urban Water Management Plans within the Region. The projected total demand in the Region is expected to increase by 51 percent from 399,000 acre -feet in 2005 to 605,000 acre -feet in 2030. Recycled water use is forecasted to increase from 9,000 acre -feet per year in 2005 to 42,000 acre -feet per year in 2030. Figure ES -3 compares how water demand is met in 2005 and 2030. Figure ES -3 How Water Demand is Met in 2005 and 2030 2005 Total Demand: 399,000 Acre -feet 2030 Total Demand: 605,000 Acre -feet Surface Water S \N? ::. Groundwater Recycling. Conservation, and Reuse San Bernardino Countv, California The analysis completed for the IRWM Plan indicates that the water supplies within Region are generally adequate to meet the demands through 2020 assuming current reliability of the SWP and that Valley District and Western will receive a permit to divert water from the Santa Ana River. By 2030, demands may slightly outpace the water supplies by about three percent or 19,000 acre - feet per year. Additional water conservation, water recycling, and increased conjunctive use will be needed to meet this shortfall. Developing the IRWMP The first step in developing a roadmap for water management in the Upper Sauna Ana Watershed was to formulate water management objectives consistent with: The governing water related laws, judgments, and agreements Agencies' water management objectives The planning standards of the California Water Code Two sets of objectives have beer, established for the !RWMP: Water Management Objectives (WMOs) 1) Improve surface water and groundwater management including i) Maximize conjunctive use ii) Increase the ability to collect and recharge stormwater iii) Use SAR water particularly flood water for groundwater bankutg 2) Improve water supply reliability through improved surface water and groundwater management measures stated above, and integration of imported water supplies, water recycling, water conservation and other water management strategies. 3) Protection of quality of surface and groundwater resources of the Region and 4) Ecosystem restoration and environmental improvement. Upper Santa Ana Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Basin Management Objectives (BMOs for management of the SBBA) 1) Reduce the Risk of Liquefaction; and 2) Avoid impacts to and from the various groundwater contaminant plumes. Findings and (Recommendations Providing a reliable water supply for the communities of the Upper Santa Ana Region is the primary objective of this IRWM Plan. The population of the region is projected to increase by 34% from 2005 to 2025. The projected total water demand in the Region is expected to increase by 46 percent from 359,000 acre -feet in 2.005 to 566,000 acre -feet in 2030. An additional 177,000 acre -feet of water will be needed to meet the water needs of the growing population. The region is arid, with some periodic wet years and some extended drought years. In order to achieve reliability during these drought periods, water should be captured and stored during the wet years. Improve Water Supply Reliability To improve water supply reliability, the region must reduce demands as much as possible and capture and store wet year supplies for use during drought periods and other emergencies. Implementation of the following recommendations will help the region enhance water supply reliability. 7t) Water Conservation and Recycling a) Enhance conservation. The region should set a goal of increasing water conservation by 19,000 acre -feet by 2030. i) Expand water conservation program throughout the Region Increasing recycled water use will contribute to greater water supply reliability. ii) Encourage Land Use Planning ordinances that require the use of native plants for landscape that will reduce water demands b) Emiumce recycled water. ilhe region should set a goal of increasing water recycled by 31,000 ac e -feet by 2030. 0 San Bernardino County, California i) Examine feasibility of implementing a regional wastewater and recycling plant ii) Implement distributed water recycling plants that provide water to downstream "neighbor'. 2) Improve Surface Water Management a) Better utilize local surface water including instruction of facilities for the use of SAR water. b) Support the construction of anew Delta conveyance facility to improve SWP reliability and water quality. c) Use or store all available SWP water every year to build reserves for drought times. i) Direct delivery provides in-lieu recharge of the basin. ii) Recharging the groundwater basins place the water in "storage" for later use during a drought. iii) Pursue banking arrangements south of the Delta for any SWP entitlement water that carmot be used in the region. This water can then be "called" on during a drought. d) Increase regional surface water storage to prepare for drought and provide supplies during a catastrophic event such as an earthquake. e) Enhanced capacity for management and use of stormwater to increase groundwater recharge, reduce flood peaks and urban flood damages, and reduce discharge of sediments and urban pollutants to the streams. 3) Improve Groundwater Management a) Computer modeling suggests that the SBBA may be capable of 160,000 acre -feet per year of conjunctive use given the construction of recharge, production and distribution facilities. Plan for opportunities to enhance conjunctive use in order to provide drought year supplies and additional yield. Upper Santa Ana ]Integrated Regional Water Management Plan b) Enhance groundwater basin storage within the region. In most cases, the recharge "basins" can provide a dual use as spreading ground as well as flood control detention basins to reduce peak flood flows downstream. c) Actively manage the SBBA on an annual basis by following the Basin Management Process developed during this planning process. 4) Diversify Supplies The region is heavily dependent upon groundwater which makes it vulnerable to any potential problem or issue with the groundwater supplies. The region should diversify its water supply sources to reduce the dependency on any single source of supply. 5) Disaster Preparedness a) Improve conveyance system redundancy. i) The Foothill Pipeline is a major transmission line for the region. Should this pipeline be damaged, or fail, a number of communities in the region will be affected. Provide redundancy for the Foothill Pipeline by implementation of the following: 1. Construct the Central Feeder , Pipeline system which connects to the California Aqueduct and the East Branch Extension, Phase 2. Disaster preparedness recommendations include improving conveyance system redundancy. �. Enter into an agreement with - MVVDSC to receive water through the Inland Feeder Pipeline. b) Agencies should provide emergency power generators for key facilities (including key production wells) that will be needed during a disaster. c) Reta.il agencies should pursue utter -'des with other retail agencies t0 proF, ide redu_Eda-ixi' duing a disaster. San Bernardino County, California d) Current surface water storage is insufficient to meet the region's need during a disaster. Increase surface water storage and diversify supplies to help the region make it through a disaster. e) Develop a regional communication network that can be used during an emergency event f) Each agency in the region should have an emergency plan that is. compliant with SEMS and NIMS. g) Participate in mutual aid agreements.

Jacobs, President Barstow Heights Community Services District P.O. Box 1290 Barstow, CA 92312 -1290 Dear Mr. Jacobs, LAFCO received your letter dated August 9, 2007 regarding LAFCO's 2007 -08 Budget Allocation and proposed alternatives in determining the allocation formula for the Independent Special Districts. A copy was provided to the Commission at its August 15th hearing. At that hearing I was directed to provide a response. Your letter expresses concern regarding the increased staffing of LAFCO and the costs involved. LAFCO staff has had to deal with the mandates imposed by the State to complete Municipal Service Reviews, for which there is no commensurate ability to impose fees. In addition, you have identified the District's concern regarding the methodology of the Special District's allocation formula and the lack of a fixed maximum allocation for 22 of the 52 independent special districts. The concern identified is that these 22 districts contribute to LAFCO a disproportionate percentage share of their revenues in comparison with larger districts that have a maximum contribution amount. As you are aware, in June 2002, pursuant to Government Code Section 56381(b), a vote took place by the Independent Special Districts that agreed on an alternative funding formula known as "Alternative B ". In fact, Barstow Heights CSD voted for Alternative B. This Special District - selected alternative formula allocates costs based on percentages of total revenues, with maximums and exceptions built into the formula. This formula is responsible for the distribution inequity your letter has identified. This alternative funding formula will remain in effect unless a majority of the independent special districts vote to install a new distribution formula. It should be emphasized; neither LAFCO nor the County Auditor /Controller has the authority to modify the formula distribution Letter to Barstow Heights CSD September 17, 2007 selected by the independent Special Districts. However, one of the options in your letter is to propose a modification of the formula that was selected by the majority of the independent special districts. In order to change the current formula, as noted above, a majority of the districts, representing a majority of the population, need to provide a written request to reopen the discussion and ultimately vote in a new alternative formula. If your District would like to reexamine the formula in light of your concerns, one option is to present your position at the next meeting of the independent special districts scheduled for the winter of 2008. The purpose of this meeting is to select a voting member of the LAFCO Commission. If you have any questions on the information within this letter or you wish to discuss my response further, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address listed above or by phone at (909) 383 -9900.

This practice has become expensive for the Association and inconvenient for our attendees. As a result, at the November 17, 2006, ACWA Board of Directors meeting, the ACWA Board adopted a new conference hotel housing policy. The following policy will apply: Individuals must be registered for the ACWA conference in order to receive hotel reservation information. P The hotel roomblock(s) will open mid - August. Early Bird conference registrants will receive the hotel reservation information at that time. All other registrants, depending on when they register for the conference, will receive the information within 10 business days after their conference registration has been processed by AC:WAs IT department RANCHO MIRAGE eLLW ILD WPM Il/lrn.G.(.
