3. The Water Distribution System (WDS) permit granted herein is subject to
the terms and conditions contained in the Protest Dismissal Agreement between
the District and the Leonard and Emily Williams Trust and Roy Kaufman, agent for
Cañada Woods. These terms and conditions include the following:
(a) The District and the applicants incorporate by reference the terms
contained in the Agreement to Dismiss Protests included as Exhibit 2(1) of Exhibit K(2) . This agreement shall not be construed to
modify in any manner whatsoever the terms of Exhibit 2
in Exhibit K.
(b) The District and the applicants stipulate that the quantity of water
granted to the applicant shall be determined by the SWRCB provided such
quantity is based on documentable and reasonable use; that quantity is
stipulated to be not less than one hundred ten (110) acre-feet but not more
than one hundred eighty eight (188) acre-feet.
(c) Applicants agree to conduct their diversions in a manner consistent with
generally accepted agricultural practices.
(d) The parties agree that the SWRCB shall resolve the question of priority
of right as to applicants' SWRCB Application 30067 and SWRCB Application 30068
and as to water rights held by the District pursuant to SWRCB Application 27614
and SWRCB Permit 7130B (Application 11674B); the SWRCB shall also clarify the
manner in which conditions on each of these permits shall be implemented
provided, however, this clarification shall not be intended to impair any right
held either by applicants or the District pursuant to Exhibit 2
of Exhibit K.
(e) Subject to any determination referenced in paragraph (d) above,
applicants and the District stipulate that the SWRCB can issue applicants'
permit at this time.
(f) Applicants shall obtain a permit from the District to enable creation of
the Cañada Woods WDS. User fees for the Cañada Woods system shall
bear a positive correlation to fees placed on the Cal-Am WDS.
(g) The Cañada Woods WDS shall be subject to the rationing
requirements of the District, in frequency and percentage no greater than
required of consumers in the Cal-Am WDS.
(h) There shall not be a connection moratorium on the Cañada Woods
WDS so long as the Cañada Woods WDS has adequate infrastructure
capacity, and the Cañada Woods independent water right provides a
sufficient source of supply for the designated service area.
(i) To the extent they lawfully apply, each connection to the Cañada
Woods WDS should be governed by and subject to the same connection charges as
each other system deriving its supply from the Monterey Peninsula Water
Resources System. No connection charge, however, shall apply to water supplied
by the applicants' water reclamation facility. Further, a connection charge
credit shall also be determined to factor the reduced water demand which shall
result by reason of applicants' proposed wastewater reclamation plant.
(j) No connection fee, assessment, pump tax, or fee of any kind shall be
levied against the agricultural/open space water production or consumption
within the Cañada Woods WDS service area.
4. The Water Distribution System (WDS) permit granted herein is subject to
the full execution and recording of the Protest Dismissal Agreement between the
District and the Leonard and Emily Williams Trust and Roy Kaufman, agent for
Cañada Woods (Exhibit K).
5. The total system capacity of the Cañada Woods WDS for potable and
non-potable uses shall be no more than 159.8 AFY; this total system capacity
must be consistent with future anticipated action of the SWRCB.
6. The expansion capacity limit (i.e. maximum number of approved connections) for existing and proposed potable water uses is 150 connections. This limit includes a maximum of 60 residential connections -- 45 single family units and 15 apartment units -- as specified in Revised Table 14 of the Final Environmental Assessment of the Cañada Woods Public Water System (Denise Duffy & Associates, Revised February 10, 1995).
7. Expansion of the Cañada Woods WDS beyond the service area or
expansion capacity limit above will require separate discretionary Board
approval preceded by CEQA environmental review. To amend the Cañada
Woods WDS permit granted herein, the applicant shall first obtain an amended
WDS permit, pursuant to MPWMD Rule 21.
8. The District retains continuing authority over approval of the WDS
granted herein to ensure consistency with SWRCB decisions and permit conditions
on Application Nos. 30067 and 30068.
9. Water production by the Cañada Woods WDS shall be reported
annually to the District by the Water Meter Method on the WDS reporting form
provided each year. Annual water production shall be reported separately for
each production well in the system. In addition, annual production shall be
reported separately according to the following use types:
(a) total residential/commercial production (potable supply),
(b) total agricultural/open space/landscaping production (non-potable supply), and
(c) total agricultural/open space/landscaping production (reclaimed
wastewater supply).
10. Water delivery by the Cañada Woods WDS shall be reported annually
to the District, along with the annual production report. Each connection
within the WDS shall be equipped with a water meter. Annual water delivery for
the potable supply portion of the WDS shall be reported separately for the
following use types:
(a) single family residential units,
(b) apartment units, and
(c) commercial units.
11. Operation of the Cañada Woods WDS for agricultural, open space,
and landscaping purposes shall adhere to prudent water conservation practices
which:
(a) promote, when possible, irrigation during the lowest evapotranspirative
times of the day, i.e. before 9:00 am and after 5:00 pm;
(b) minimize irrigation during high wind periods to reduce applied water
losses;
(c) maintain irrigation systems to minimize losses from leaks;
