  1. FOOTHILL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT Recycled Water Project Board Workshop May 20, 2013

  2. Outline • Past /Present • Drivers • Project Background and Description • Benefits • Present • Benefits and Partnerships • Project Alternatives • Hydrogeologic Modeling with Percolation Test • CEQA Plus and Title 22 • Raymond Basin Management Board • Future • Budget and Funding • Schedule • Next Steps • Design Bid Build or Design Build Operate • Schedule

  3. Driver – Senate Bill SBX7-7 • Water suppliers to increase water use efficiency • Urban Water Conservation • Reducing per capita 10% by December 31, 2015 • Reducing per capita 20% by December 31, 2020 • Effective 2016 urban retail water supplies not meeting water conservation requirements are not eligible for State water grants and loans • The recycled water program assists in meeting this requirement

  4. Driver – Delta Conveyance • Delta Steward Council – May 16, 2013 • Adopted FINAL Delta Plan • Certifies Programmatic EIR • Adopted Regulations to Implement Policies of Delta Plan • Additional pressure for assurances to reduce reliance on Delta Conveyance • Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg • Sunne McPeak from CA Emerging Technology Fund • Environmental Groups • 2nd Driest Year in Nor. Cal and Colorado River • Potential Shortages in 2 to 3 years

  5. Background – 2007-2009 • Master Plan put on hold second interconnection • Water Resources Plan prioritized developing reliability

  6. Background – 2011 and 2012 • Feasibility study approved by SWRCB • Reviewed 17 Alternatives • Narrowed down to Alternative A-6, MBR plant near Oak Grove Drive at 0.25 MGD recharge at John Muir High School • Two Firms hired to develop then review regulations and costs • Costs dropped based on less purple pipe

  7. Background - 2012 • Cal Poly Pomona began working on project in August 2012 – Field of Green • IRWMP process began in September 2012 • November 2012 Board authorizes proceeding with hydrogeologic evaluation, CEQA Plus, and Program Management services and payment of fee for grant application

  8. Background - 2013 • January 2013 - Board adopted resolution regarding WaterSMART Grant • March 2013 - Board authorized consulting services for conceptual report for Title 22 • March 2013 - Draft groundwater recharge regulations changed • April 2013 - Labor Compliance resolution adopted by Board • April 2013 - Board approved amendment to hydrogeologic modeling agreement for two other modeling runs

  9. Recycled Water Use in Area • Los Angeles County Sanitation District • La CañadaFlintridge Country Club • City of Glendale/LADWP • Landscape Irrigation • City of Burbank • Landscape Irrigation • Fire Fighting • Descanso Gardens and City of Pasadena • Verdugo Hills Golf Course MBR • Claremont Colleges MBR

  10. Description • Watershed approach to developing recycled water • Construction of a 0.25 MGD MBR plant • Recharge to groundwater basin and receive credits • Stormwater and urban runoff capture, treatment, and recharge • Reduce carbon footprint and lower greenhouse emissions • Conservation and education outreach component

  11. Project Alternatives

  12. Recycled Water Flow

  13. Benefits of Recycled Water Project • Enhance local supply and reduce dependency on imported water • Reduction in greenhouse gases and energy usage • Demonstrate watershed approach to developing local supplies and benefitting the community • Water Education • Watershed Integrity and Health • Public Outreach • Support of stakeholders – city, school, church, Sanitation Districts, County Public Works

  14. Quantified Benefits • Recharge Recycled Water: 280 AFY • Other Recharge: 38 AFY average • Estimated Stormwater Capture: 15 AFY • Estimated Urban Runoff Capture: 23 AFY • Barren Land: Half Acre Improvement • Energy Savings: 600 Megawatts • Enough for 85 Southern California homes annually

  15. Project Details - Partnerships • La CañadaUnified School District and City of La CañadaFlintridge: • Athletic fields • Stormwater and urban runoff capture • Cal Poly Pomona: Civil Engineering Department, Department of Landscape Architecture and Department of Urban and Regional Planning • Preparation of a 3D model of infiltration galleries • Development of drought tolerant landscaping for both MBR and LCHS sites • Development of a conservation and educational component to the Project • Undergraduate Development

  16. Project Support • Congresswoman Judy Chu • Congressman Adam Schiff • Assemblymember Mike Gatto • Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich • Metropolitan Water District of Southern California • Los Angeles County Sanitation District • Los Angeles County Department of Public Works • Council for Watershed Health • Arroyo Seco Foundation • La CañadaUnited Methodist Church • La CañadaUnified School District • City of La CañadaFlintridge • Cal Poly Pomona

  17. Hydrogeologic Model • 3 areas modeled: • Athletic fields • Flint Creek Wash • Behind Devil’s Gate Dam • Results: • All 3 alternatives achieve CDPH minimum of four months retention time from active wells. • All alternatives do not exceed the RWC of 20% over a 120-month period.

  18. Hydrogeologic Model - Percolation Tests 4 feet per day average percolation

  19. CEQA Plus • Initial Study to be distributed June via FMWD website, via email notice to Board packet distribution list which includes newspapers and blogs, public agencies, other entities • Workshop will be scheduled for 30 days from release of document • Recommended action at August Board meeting

  20. Title 22 – Conceptual Report • Conceptual Report drafted on May 9, 2013 • Provides: • Summary key requirements or topics, • References to Title 22 and FMWD method of compliance • All items are achievable - no fatal flaws with the project

  21. Raymond Basin Management Board • Originally stormwater and urban runoff to be captured was to be credited to account • RBMB has stated no longer able to provide 100% credit • RBMB willing to provide some capital contribution

  22. Estimated Project Budget Total: $2,935,300

  23. Per Acre-Foot Cost • Assume 280 Acre-feet of sales • Receive IRWMP and USBR grants • Principal = $1,185,300 • 30 year term • 3.0% interest rate Cost per Acre-foot = $810

  24. Per Acre-Foot Cost – Above Scenario Over time, difference increases from $57 per acre-foot to $426 per Acre-foot Assume 3% inflation factor

  25. 280 AF sales • $1.5 million IRWMP Grant • $300,000 USBR Grant

  26. IRWMP Grant • Initial presentation September 2012 • For $1.45M • Ranked #1 in Subregion and #3 in Region • Application submitted to State in March 2013 • 50% of capital costs of approximately $3 million • Results October 2013

  27. USBR WEEG Grant • Submitted grant January 2013 • For $300,000 • Only infiltration galleries portion • Recycled water plant construction not allowed under this type of grant • Results June 2013

  28. Other Potential Funding • USBR • Title XVI Program • CalFed Funding • MWD LRP - Up to $250/AF of production • MWD Foundational Action Funding Program - $500k • SWRCB Low Interest Loans • iBank Low Interest Loans • Internal FMWD Funding • Water Sales • District Revenues/Reserves
