n.       No potable water supply shall be connected, or available for connection, to the graywater irrigation system;

o.      Use of a mobile water distribution system to provide backup water supply to the graywater irrigation system shall require a separate water permit from the District.  Use of transported potable water from within the District is prohibited.

 

5.      The County of Monterey must acknowledge in writing to the District that modifications to the proposed conservation measures may result in a debit to its allocation.

 

6.      The property owner shall agree to allow public access to water consumption records for the life of the project.  Access shall be authorized by recordation of the appropriate deed restriction.

 

7.      A detailed landscape budget and a maintenance/management plan shall be included with the water permit application.

 

8.      Prior to issuance of a water permit, the water permit applicant shall submit processing fees in the amount of $1,400 to the District for up to twenty (20) hours of time and resources to review the water consumption and other conditions of the project for a period of five years (additional fees shall be charged in the event the Board approves a longer monitoring period).  Staff time in excess of four (4) hours annually to review this project shall be compensated by the property owner at the rate of $70 per hour or as allowed by District Rule 60.

 

9.      An in-line water meter shall be installed to monitor the laundry facility’s water consumption.  District staff shall have access to the water meter upon reasonable request.

 

10.  An in-line water meter shall be installed to monitor exterior water use.  District staff shall have access to the water meter upon reasonable request.

 

11.  The commercial laundry shall be fully utilized unless the project is exceeding its annual water use limit.  Laundry shall be washed on the project site and shall not be sent to another site for washing without notifying the District in advance.   Similarly, the District shall be notified in writing of any change to the equipment used in the laundry facility.  Laundry done off-site shall be taken out of the District for cleaning.

 

12.  The property owner, or his agent, shall annually complete and submit a Special Circumstances Review Form and applicable attachments to the District.  The Special Circumstances Review Form requires the property owner to provide information about the project’s annual water use and practices, copies of the past year’s water bills, information about the performance of the special appliances, and other information useful in reviewing project-related water demand.  The special circumstances review form shall be submitted each year during construction and for ten years following full occupancy after completion of the project.

 

13.   Water use will be reviewed annually after occupancy.  If actual water use exceeds the permitted amount during any annual review, the District will debit the Monterey County’s water allocation a sufficient amount of water to make up for the project’s water deficit, and the applicant shall commence the implementation of measures to reduce such overuse.  At the end of the first five-year period, if the average annual water use exceeds the quantity permitted for the project during the five year period, the District will determine whether the County may need to transfer some of its allocation to the project, the applicant may need to close rooms or reduce the number of beds in the facility, or the applicant will pay the cost of District-approved water conservation projects within the unincorporated areas of the District to establish water credits that will be applied toward the project’s water deficit and toward an overall reduction in use.  A final adjustment shall be made ten years following full occupancy.

 

  1. The applicant enter into an indemnification agreement with the District as a condition of approval, giving the applicant full legal and financial responsibility for all liability and litigation that may arise as a result of this approval.
