EXHIBIT 13-B
OUTLINE OF
RECOMMENDED WATER SUPPLY WORKSHOPS
(Considered as part
of 2005-2006 Strategic Plan)
Prepared October 6,
2005
Workshop #1: GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR REGIONAL PUBLIC PROJECT
Date: November
2005 (with initial information at October 17, 2005 Board meeting)
Staff Lead: David Berger, General Manager
Components:
- MPWMD
and County representatives to water agencies/city managers working group
to describe proposed purpose, function and structure of Regional Urban
Water Supply Project (RUWS) policy board (October 17, 2005).
- Obtain
initial public input and MPWMD Board discussion (October 17, 2005).
- MPWMD
Board to review and provide direction regarding community engagement and
decision-making process for consideration of RUWS policy board draft
formation agreement and alternative governance structures (November,
2005).
- MPWMD
staff resources are adequate to conduct workshop.
Workshop #2: AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY (ASR)
Date: December
2005 or early January 2006
Staff Lead: Joe Oliver, Water Resources Division Manager
Components:
- Basic
overview of status of Seaside Basin.
- Overview
of status of adjudication and how outcome could affect storage rights and
extraction rights in Seaside Basin.
- Describe
current ASR testing program and coordination with Cal-Am, including
pending Management and Operations Agreement (MOA); consider options if MOA
cannot be reached.
- Describe
MPWMD Phase 1; progress on EIR etc.
- Describe
MPWMD Phases 2 and 3; what processes, facilities, approvals etc needed; cost
and funding.
- Describe
Cal-Am ASR component of Coastal Water Project (includes Carmel River and
desalination sources), and how it compares to MPWMD ASR phases.
- Describe
MRWPCA Seaside Basin Groundwater Replenishment Project (GRP) using
purified recycled water as the source; various recharge methods;
compatible or mutually exclusive with other ASR options?
- MPWMD
staff resources are adequate to conduct workshop.
Workshop #3A: WATER NEEDS ANALYSIS, PART A - EXISTING
Date: January
2006
Staff Lead: Darby Fuerst, Senior Hydrologist
Components:
- Describe
Cal-Am water rights in Order 95-10 and assess accuracy of 10,730 AFY
estimate in today’s setting (include Carmel River dams storage rights,
actual community demand, etc)
- Discuss
needs of Seaside Basin to address over-pumping
- Discuss
conservation savings and trends; would there be reduced conservation if
water was more plentiful and Order 95-10 did not exist?
- Discuss
unused allocations of water by jurisdictions
- Update
on current production trends
- MPWMD
staff resources are adequate to conduct workshop.
Workshop #3B: WATER NEEDS ANALYSIS, PART B - FUTURE
Date: February
2006
Staff Lead: Stephanie Pintar, Water Demand Division Manager
Components:
- Review
TAC/PAC water needs projections at buildout,
including MPWMD Board committee review
- Discuss
how water supply projects should be sized and phased over time to meet
needs and be most cost-effective to water customers (likely need PAC/TAC
input)
- Assess
accuracy of MPWMD water use factors for a home, business, etc.
- MPWMD
staff resources are adequate to conduct workshop, including coordination
with PAC/TAC.
Workshop #4: WATER AUGMENTATION ALTERNATIVES
Date: March
2006
Staff Lead: Henrietta
Stern, Project Manager
Components:
- Describe
what projects are available to meet existing and future needs.
- Update
and expand Comparative Water Supply Project Matrix to include mainstem
dam, and dredging existing dams
- Clarify
opportunities from Marina Coast Water District and other imported sources
- What are
costs and timelines for projects (see #5 below)
- MPWMD
staff resources are adequate to conduct workshop.
Workshop #5: WATER PROJECT COST AND TIMELINE ANALYSIS
Date: June
2006
Staff Lead: Andy Bell, Planning & Engineering Division
Manager
Components:
- Compare
desalination projects at same size/yield (e.g., Cal-Am, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa
and MPWMD projects).
- Remove
ASR component from Coastal Water Project to compare desalination costs
only
- Independently
review cost and timeline information.
- Compare
costs of similar desalination projects in other similar areas in
California
- Compare
wastewater reclamation costs in other areas.
- MPWMD
staff resources are not adequate to conduct workshop. In addition to staff evaluations, an
estimated $30,000 to $50,000 would be needed to retain engineering
consultants who specialize in desalination, wastewater reclamation and
similar project construction to evaluate reliability of cost and timeline
estimates.
