COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Review P3 Project Cost and Financing Sensitivity Analysis.

RECOMMENDATION:Receive information on the P3 cost and financing sensitivity analysis.

SUMMARY:At the June 16, 2020 Board meeting, Staff presented several North County Municipal and Industrial(M&I) groundwater charge projections with Purified Water Program scenarios as the variableincluding size of project, delivery method (design-bid-build or progressive design-build with ValleyWater financing vs progressive P3 with private financing), construction start date, duration, and low-cost financing (e.g., Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)).

The scenarios were modeled based on the following assumptions:

• 0% increase to North County (Zone W-2) M&I Groundwater charge for entirety of FY 2021

• WIFIA loan funded alternatives assume repayment of 49% of capital costs 5 years after facilityis operational

• P3 (private financing) alternatives assume payments begin when facility is operational, lessValley Water 30% share of debt financing

• Alternative water rate projection results expressed in terms of annual % increase in NorthCounty M&I Groundwater charge for FY 2022 thru FY 2030

• All alternative water rate projections are based on the FY 21 adopted budget and CIP with theexception of the Purified Water Program scenarios as the variable

After presenting the results, the Board requested staff to run additional sensitivity analyses inconsideration of the construction bid climate and the current low interest rate environment.

The purpose of this agenda item is to present this additional sensitivity analysis, which is based onthe “Path A with construction year start of FY 2025 and an operation year start of FY 2028” scenariothat was shown to the Board on June 16, 2020. For the construction bid climate sensitivity, staffprepared an analysis that shows the impact of a capital cost that is 20% less or 20% more than thecurrent $500M estimate (in 2019 $’s). The sensitivity was based on the P3 alternatives only and

results in a North County M&I groundwater charge % increase for FY 22 to FY 30 ranging from 9.2%to 10.2% per year.

To address the current low interest rate environment, staff prepared an analysis based on an“aggressive” borrowing rate forecast. This analysis results in a North County M&I groundwatercharge % increase for FY 22 to FY 30 ranging from 8.7% to 9.3%.

The results are summarized in Attachment 1.

At your January 2020 meeting the RWC put an update on the P3 program on your April 2020 agenda for discussion and directed staff to include the P3 approach as a scenario in the Board discussions on budget and water rates. That meeting of could not take place, but the full Board did conduct a work session on June 16th with considerable discussion and direction to staff. Board Chair Hsueh wrapped up the work-session with a clear statement of Board direction moving forward:

1. Move forward working with the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara to get an agreement in place and then through the RWC.

2. The Board is still, consistent with past direction, P3 is still approach is still the way to forward with whatever the program is going to be. And Progressive P3 implementation (bringing the P3 Partner in the planning phase) is the way to go.

3. Board members are asking for more information to be reviewed by the RWC. That is the staffing plan for implementing a Progressive P3 program and also that Director Kremen’s request to revisit the cost and projections for the overall program.

The future of the South County Recycled Water Program needs us to reschedule a meeting. With this kind of explicit Board direction, I look forward to the RWC meeting. I do, however have a couple of comments on the meeting agenda items that I would like to share. COMMENTS Agenda Item 4.1 Review P3 Project Cost and Financing Sensitivity Analysis. Recommendation 1. The RWC should consider requesting analysis of a scenario of VW not contributing to the debt financing (which is industry standard practice) and obtaining a recommendation from David Moore who is the consultant financial advisor for the Purified Water Program.

Valley Water staff has done a great job providing additional sensitivity analysis on a number of scenarios. I did not see any discussion or analysis of the staff concept of Valley Water contributing 30% of debt financing. Since this issue was brought up at the work session by Directors Kremen and Estremera (who are also on this committee), I expected it to be part of the staff analysis. Agenda Item 4.2 Public/Private Partnership Implementation Approach Recommendation 2. The RWC should not accept or support the staff recommendations on this item, but should instead direct staff to: Move forward with the RFP process that was suspended in 2018 with a Progressive P3 approach, and since it has now been over two years since the District finalized the selection of Shortlisted Respondents, request that each respondent team affirm qualifications and interest in remaining in the P3 procurement process. The VW staff memo includes as part of the background this information:

The first five bullet points appear to be similar to the Board Direction summary provided by the Board Chair at the June 16th work session. I cannot find any reference to the last three bullet points from that work session or anywhere else in the program development over the past four years. It could be that they are appropriate objectives, but I question whether they can be labeled “Board Key Objectives”. More problematic is that these new objectives are then relied on to support a staff recommendation to abandon the Progressive P3 approach and go back to a more traditional approach. This change in direction gave me whiplash as it would erase all of the decisions and work effort made that resulted in having five shortlisted P3 entities that reviewed and commented on a draft term sheet with VW staff and consultants. Here is how VW staff and consultants presented the history of the program at an industry conference:

Page 20: Santa Clara Valley Water District Recycled Water Committee … · RECYCLED WATER COMMITTEE Tony Estremera - District 6, Chair Barbara Keegan - District 2, Vice Chair Gary Kremen -

As you know the project was progressing in the development of the RFP when it was suspended due to a number of issues. Below is that schedule which clearly was well on the way to implement a Progressive P3 approach which included a Development Period in which a P3 partner would be selected to work with Valley Water staff and consultants to complete the planning and permitting of the project.

Page 21: Santa Clara Valley Water District Recycled Water Committee … · RECYCLED WATER COMMITTEE Tony Estremera - District 6, Chair Barbara Keegan - District 2, Vice Chair Gary Kremen -

Now the staff recommendation is to go back to one of the options rejected on the basis of both staff and RWC recommendations to the Board in February 2018. The basis for this reversal could be that with the extensive staff changes at VW there may not be an understanding of the Board decision in 2018. At that time, I commented that the early selection of the P3 partner, as recommended by the RWC and Staff in Option B -Progressive P3, was critically important to capture the benefits of this type of collaborative approach, including: • The P3 partner can propose innovative development plans, and the District can select the most desirable before the scope and costs are completely defined; • The Parties can work together and share costs by cooperating on feasibility studies, environmental studies, preliminary engineering, investigation of construction methodologies, regulatory compliance, permitting, financial planning, and developing an open-book costing model; and • Early involvement allows the private partner to co-invest in project planning and design, technical studies, and environmental clearance. Nothing has changed since then except that the project has been downsized. I suggest that the selection of a P3 Partner, with significant experience working in a progressive P3 approach (early involvement in the development process) and with an understanding of the complexities of the water issues in Silicon Valley is still critically important to continue to advance the partnership project

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Public/Private Partnership Implementation Approach.

RECOMMENDATION:A. Recommend to the Board that it approve the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain

Implementation/Procurement procedures for Public/Private Partnership (P3) proposed in thisagenda item for procurement of the necessary facilities and services to accomplish purificationand delivery to groundwater recharge ponds of the product water;

B. Recommend that the Board direct staff to return for Board approval to launch a P3procurement plan as soon as the necessary elements for a proposed project including (a)agreement for long-term supply of treated wastewater, (b) agreement enabling management ofreverse osmosis concentrate, and (c) agreement for siting of the purification facilities, aresufficiently secured for the proposed project; and

C. Review a schedule for implementation of the P3 procurement process.

SUMMARY:This agenda item proposes a P3 procurement plan for implementation using a completed optionagreement with in-County cities for long-term supply of treated wastewater.

BACKGROUND:In December 2019, Valley Water reached agreement with the Cities of Palo Alto and Mountain viewfor a long-term supply (option) for approximately 9 MGD of treated wastewater. The PaloAlto/Mountain View agreement included general provisions for management of reverse osmosisconcentrate as well as identification of at least one site for a purification plant on City lands. Furtherwork and agreement are needed to secure a site for the proposed plant if the option is exercised.

Recently, staff initiated negotiations with the Cities of San Jose and Santa Clara to receive, for a longterm, approximately 9 MGD of treated wastewater to be purified by Valley Water at a proposed siteadjacent to the existing Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center. The agreement to securesuch water is anticipated to be an option agreement of similar structure to that of the PaloAlto/Mountain View agreement.

At the June 16, 2020 Board meeting, staff received from the Board its key objectives related to the

Purified Program P3 approach. These are primarily:

· Implement a project of nominal capacity 9 million of gallons per day (MGD) as soon aspossible.

· Advance a “progressive” P3 approach to deliver the Projecto Leverage private sector innovation and expertiseo Accelerate project implementationo Reduce project burden on staff by allocating risks and responsibilities to a private

partner

· In deploying P3 procurement:o Ensure price certainty/budget predictability at time of contract awardo Maximize competitive pressures on pricing and terms to lock-in best possible deal for

Valley Water

PROPOSED APPROACH:In terms of implementation approach, based on further review an input from industry experts, staffproposes implementing P3 procurement through an industry, best-practice approach, which willaccomplish the Board’s objectives above and has additional advantages over a “progressive”approach, including firm pricing and committed financing. This approach maximizes competitivepricing pressures; promotes private sector innovation; accelerates private sector involvement viacommercially confidential meetings and collective negotiations during the Request for Proposals(RFP) process; enables a best-value award (considering both technical approach and pricing);maximizes transparency, as definitive terms and conditions known at time of bidding (equal footingfor all proposers); and optimizes staff involvement by focusing efforts on the definition of performancestandards (as opposed to being actively involved in design development).

The earliest possible implementation timeline is as follows:

· Q4 2020 - Request for Qualifications process, with shortlisting by early 2021

· Q1 2021 - Launch RFP Process (approximately 4 to 8-month process)

· Q2 2022 - Board approval of P3 Agreement with selected proposer

This schedule requires early firming up on site selection for the new purification plant, either in thevicinity of Palo Alto in the case of proceeding with the Palo Alto/Mountain View option or adjacent tothe existing SVAWPC in the case of successful conclusion of an option agreement currently undernegotiation with San Jose and Santa Clara. This schedule is, further, contingent upon Board approvalof one of these two specific project concepts (i.e., a Palo Alto/Mountain View or a San Jose/SantaClara source water agreement, specific sizing and key project elements), in Q1 2021, prior to therelease of the RFP.

Staff presentation of the proposed approach and early-implantation schedule at the Committeemeeting will be assisted by HDR subconsultants Jill Jamieson, CEO of Illuminati Infrastructure

Alternative Project Delivery. For the Santa Clara Valley Water District, he has guidied evaluation of progressive design-build versus design-build-operate-maintain-finance. Currently, he is serving as the Program Manager for implementation of this $1B potable reuse program. For the Seattle Public Utilities, he led efforts for alternative design criteria development on the 120-mgd Tolt Filtration Plant, a design-build-operate project with a 25-year duration. For the San Jose Water Company, Phillippe was the project manager for a fast track design, build and startup of a 5-mgd microfiltration plant.

Decision Making. Phillippe has been involved in decision making for technology and water resource projects including those for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and the Portland (OR) Water Bureau. Given the distinctive features of each setting, success has been achieved through application of various analytic tools, streamlined analysis, an understanding of organizational structures and culture, and facilitation of consensus.

International. Phillippe has been involved in projects in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Jordan, Malaysia, Tanzania and Singapore. For Tanzania, he was the engineering-construction lead for the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s due diligence evaluation of Tanzania’s $800M infrastructure proposal (compact signed in February 2008). He has lectured in Ecuador, France, Germany, Kenya, Uganda, Singapore and South Africa.

Water Resources. Phillippe has been involved in water resource decision making projects for the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (Boston), San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the Association of Bay Area Governments (integrated regional planning for seven Bay Area water utilities) and the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency. Each project has involved extensive technical analysis and, in many cases, public outreach. He has also consulted on a number of water resource projects as a senior advisor.

Emergency Response. Phillippe has worked for the Department of Homeland Security (i.e., FEMA) in responding to Hurricane Katrina assessing infrastructure needs and hazard mitigation approaches. For San Francisco, he aided in developing their Emergency Response Plans. In addition, working with representatives from fire, police, public health and the Office of Emergency Services, he developed a strategy for supplying potable water after a major disaster. He worked jointly with four large California water utilities and the California Department of Health Services in developing strategies for responding to a terrorist event.

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Public/Private Partnership Staffing Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:A. Receive information on Public/Private Partnership (P3) staffing plan; andB. Provide feedback to staff.

SUMMARY:Staff received directions from the Board at the June 16, 2020 Board meeting to develop a staffingplan to address the P3 procurement approach. Two of the related drivers identified by the Board inthat meeting were:

· Accelerate Project implementation

· Reduce Project burden on staff by allocating risks and responsibilities to a private partner

The Project selected is assumed to be either (1) a project of nominal capacity 9 MGD, consistent withthe quantity of source water secured as an option in the December 2019 agreement between ValleyWater, Palo Alto and Mountain View, or (2) a project of similar scope located adjacent to the existingSilicon Valley Advanced Purification Center, involving a potential treated wastewater supplyagreement between Valley Water and the Cities of San Jose and Santa Clara.

The proposed Valley Water staffing approach relies heavily upon consultant assistance for a range oftasks, cost ground-truthing, environmental documentation and cultural resources, finance strategy,and possibly legal as well. The proposed P3 approach, discussed in a separate agendamemorandum for the same meeting of the Committee, places responsibility on the private partner toundertake design and construction, among other functions, so the proposed Valley Water staffingplan is designed to prepare for and interface with the candidate private partners, not to duplicate ordirect their work.

Consistent with the schedule in the proposed P3 approach (separate agenda item for the sameCommittee meeting), the organization structure depicted in the attached PowerPoint will beimplemented for the early tasks.

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Update on the Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:A. Receive information on the status, findings, and next steps for the Countywide Water Reuse

Master Plan; andB. Recommend the Board of Directors authorizes the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and

execute an amendment (Amendment No. 3) consistent with staff recommendations to theAgreement with Brown & Caldwell for the Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan Project(Agreement No. A4120A).

SUMMARY:This item provides an update on the Santa Clara Valley Water District’s (Valley Water) CountywideWater Reuse Master Plan (Reuse Master Plan), an integral component of Valley Water’s WaterSupply Master Plan, and presents staff’s recommendation for an amendment (Amendment No. 3) tothe agreement with Brown & Caldwell (Consultant) for the Countywide Water Reuse Master PlanProject (Agreement A4120A).

The goal of the Reuse Master Plan is to identify and evaluate future reuse opportunities incollaboration with recycle water producers, wholesalers, retailers, users, and other interested parties.Valley Water has set a policy objective to meet at least 10% of the County’s total water demand usingrecycled and purified water. To achieve this goal, Valley Water is developing a Reuse Master Planthat will provide up to 24,000 acre-feet per year of potable water reuse by 2028. The plan’s analysesand findings will directly influence the water supply investment strategies in the Water Supply MasterPlan 2040, which is used to ensure long-term supply reliability for Santa Clara County. The ReuseMaster Plan is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2021.

RESULTS:

Since January 25, 2018, the Reuse Master Plan has produced 15 critical engineering reports(Attachment 2) that represent the planning foundation and has incorporated key stakeholder input(>40 stakeholder meetings) into the Draft Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan (Attachment 3)presented today. Key building blocks for the Reuse Master Plan are summarized below:

· Baseline Analysis Technical Memorandum

· Conceptual Alternatives Technical Memorandum

· 1% Conceptual Alternatives Design

· Feasible Project Portfolios Technical Memorandum

The Draft Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan represents the assemblage of these criticalengineering and planning documents into a comprehensive water reuse planning compendium thatdescribes available source water, relevant institutional arrangements, existing reuse systems,expanded (both Direct and Indirect potable) reuse potential, feasible project portfolios, and costimplications. Highlights of the Draft Reuse Master Plan include:

· A total of seven feasible potable reuse portfolio combinations have been developed for theNorth County and costed out with 100-year lifecycle unit cost ranging from $2,000 to$3,000/AF (2019$).

· Three Non-Potable Reuse (NPR) and Potable Reuse (PR) options were developed for theSouth County with resulting 100-year lifecycle unit cost ranging from $1,700 to $6,100/AF(pending RO Concentrate Management Plan updates).

· Capital Expenses (CAPEX) for portfolios range from $555M to $814M with OperationalExpenses (OPEX) varying between $20.2M and $23.2M.

Attachment 4 summarizes key portfolio results, characteristics, costs, benefits, and limitations forNorth County (Portfolios 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 2a, 2b, and 4) and for South County (Options 1, 2 and 3).Note that although the original intent (Consultant agreement scope) was to identify projects toproduce up to 24,000 AFY of potable reuse, these results are scalable and subject to input to DraftReuse Master Plan, such as ongoing negotiations with San José and updated water demandprojections.

NEXT STEPS:

The Reuse Master Plan has experienced unanticipated delays due to the technical nature andregulatory complexities of reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) management integration concerningROC discharge in South (San Francisco) Bay. Compounding delays from the unforeseen COVID-19Pandemic have also contributed to schedule impacts and stakeholder inaccessibility. Staff is workingdiligently with our consultants to minimize these negative impacts to Reuse Master Plan schedule.Additional resources, however, will be needed to complete the Reuse Master Plan. Staff hascoordinated with our stakeholders and consultant team to develop a set of resource requests tocomplete the Reuse Master Plan cost effectively and expeditiously. The total cost of this amendmentis not to exceed $285,000 (see Table 2).

Muirhead <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 5, 2020 7:49 AM To: Eva Marie Sans <[email protected]> Cc: David Tucker <[email protected]>; Clerk of the Board <[email protected]> Subject: comment Recycled Water Committee meeting August 6 Items #4.4 + #4.6 Dear Water District Recycled Water Committee, comments for your meeting on Thursday, August 6: 4.4. Update on Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan 4.6. Update on South Santa Clara County Water Reuse Opportunities. Thank you, Doug Muirhead, Morgan Hill ----- 4.4 Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan [key point] Lack of engagement with public in plan development. [comment] 1) You invest considerable effort from the Communications Team in trying to change the public perception of water reuse from Yuck to Yea. Yet you make no effort to involve the public in the discussion of planning for water reuse. Lots of talk of Project Partner and Executive Leadership Group meetings and reviews by (undefined) stakeholders but no public participation even if just Inform rather than Engage. 2) I really appreciate the visual and textual glossary. ----- 4.6 Update on South Santa Clara County Water Reuse Opportunities. [key points] No cost offset for avoided purchase and/or lack of availability of imported water. No mention of wastewater input allocation in the plans for expansion of SCRWA. Does Morgan Hill retain control of some wastewater for greywater and recycled water reuse? [staff summary] South County Reuse Options Option 1 Imports of NPR+ from SBWR to a new Morgan Hill recycled water system Risk Occurence: Low; Risk Impact: Low Option 2 Delivers from a Morgan Hill satellite WWTP and AWPF to San Pedro Ponds for GWR Risk Occurence: Very High; Risk Impact: Very High Option 3 Delivers from a Morgan Hill satellite WWTP and AWPF to Anderson Reservoir for SWA Risk Occurence: Very High; Risk Impact: Very High Limitations for Option 2 + 3 A Morgan Hill satellite facility would increase solids loads to SCRWA, posing operational issues that may be substantial.

[comment] 1) What is the offset to Lifecycle cost from avoided purchase and/or impacts from lack of availability of imported water? During the previous drought, I argued that the "20th century model" for making decisions about recycled water was that paying as little as possible for water was the primary consideration. (The 2020 Reuse Plan defers Rate Impacts to the next iteration of the document.) I then argued that we should replace that with a "21st century model" that is a choice between having expensive water and having no water. The 2015 Master Plan analysis looked at capital costs ($18M) and operation costs ($1.5M) for a Morgan Hill scalping plant. The 2020 Reuse Plan Potential Future South County Reuse Opportunities (Table 6-8) estimates using purified water from a satellite WWTP and AWPF in Morgan Hill for GWR has Total Capital Cost: $125M* Total Annual O&M Cost: $6.9M* Unit Cost, 30-Year Lifecycle: $6,300/AF* Projected 2040 Yield: 1,900 AFY and for SWA has Total Capital Cost: $145M* Total Annual O&M Cost: $7.4M* Unit Cost, 30-Year Lifecycle: $7,200/AF* Projected 2040 Yield: 1,900 AFY The 2015 Plan section on Value of Recycled Water Supply simply rated alternatives as low or high value. Dollar amounts were not provided to contrast costs. The analysis did not value a drought-proof source of water. We were not shown a value for recharge to keep wells flowing. We were not shown the value of augmenting imported water (when available) or substituting for it (when not available); the District pays real money to import water from outside the County. 2) One 2020 Countywide Reuse Master Plan objective is to: Determine source water availability and reuse benefits. What troubles me is what appears to be a senior-water-rights/ junior-water-rights view which gives SCRWA and Gilroy recycled water but prevents Morgan Hill from using its own effluent (both wastewater and greywater). For both local resiliency and local control, Morgan Hill must be allowed to retain some of our effluent.

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Update on Reverse Osmosis Concentrate Management (ROCM) Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:Receive information and discuss next steps.

SUMMARY:Following the last Recycled Water Committee (Committee) held in January 2020, Santa Clara ValleyWater District (Valley Water) staff has completed several milestones on the Reverse OsmosisConcentrate Management (ROCM) Plan. These milestones include completing a successfulworkshop with countywide stakeholders, research partners and state regulators; further refiningROCM options; completing additional studies as recommended by state regulators; and updatingcosts for the different ROCM options. In addition, staff is currently reviewing the TechnicalMemorandum No. 6: Evaluation of ROCM Options Final Report (TM6), which will be shared withstakeholders to solicit additional input.

The ROCM options presented in TM6 for a future Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) asdeveloped by the Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan (Reuse Master Plan) and in collaborationwith existing Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) includes the following:

1. Blending with POTW Effluent: This option is achievable both at the existing Palo Alto RegionalWater Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) outfall, and at the San Jose/Santa Clara RegionalWastewater Facility (RWF) at an alternate outfall location downstream of the existing one. Theformer would require the RWQCP to potentially modify their existing National PollutantDischarge Elimination System (NDPES) permit and would limit the amount of purified water(permeate) produced due to several existing NPDES limits. The latter would not limit theamount of permeate produced since it would apply to an independent outfall location to benegotiated with the San Jose/Santa Clara RWF. Both options also require negotiations withthe regulatory agencies.

2. New Outfall Locations: This option applies to both enhanced outfall locations as determinedthrough hydrodynamic modeling, and at a discharge location north of Dumbarton Bridge (i.e.deep-water). As requested by regulators, the hydrodynamic modeling conducted as part of theROCM Plan indicates several discharge areas downstream of existing POTW outfalls thatprovides sufficient dilution for ROC and do not limit the amount of permeate produced.Discharges to a deep-water outfall would require a connection to an existing outfall such as

the one located at Silicon Valley Clean Water in Redwood City or running a separate pipelineinto the Bay. These options also require negotiations with POTWs and regulatory agencies.

3. Evaporation Ponds: This option only applies to a South County AWPF. Due to the lack ofaccess to the San Francisco Bay or other major waterways, the only option for ROCM is bymeans of a lined evaporation pond. The amount of land required is approximately 115 acresbased on projected Water Reuse Plan flows and local evaporation rates.

Staff presented the results of site specific ROCM evaluations to the San Francisco Bay RegionalWater Quality Control Board (RWQCB) on November 18, 2019, with updates presented to both theRWQCB and the California EPA at ROCM Workshop No. 4 held on March 27, 2020. This providedan opportunity to seek feedback and ensure that the proposed ROCM approaches are amenable toregulators. The presented ROCM options were well received by both RWQCB and EPA staff andvaluable comments and important input was obtained.

NEXT STEPS:Staff will finalize the 10% engineering design and financial assessment information based uponcomments received from the Committee and interested stakeholders. The final design and costestimates will be integrated with the Reuse Master Plan project portfolio design packages. Uponportfolio selection staff will work closely with POTWs and regulators to ensure Valley Water can meetits potable reuse goals. In addition, Valley Water staff will continue to explore source control efforts,evaluate alternative treatment options, conduct site specific modeling and conduct toxicity testing forfuture compliance.

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Update on South Santa Clara County Water Reuse Opportunities.

RECOMMENDATION:Receive information and discuss next steps.

SUMMARY:The Santa Clara Valley Water District’s (Valley Water) Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan (ReuseMaster Plan) is reviewing prospective opportunities to expand water reuse in South Santa ClaraCounty (South County). One goal of the Reuse Master Plan is to identify and evaluate future non-potable and potable reuse opportunities which may directly influence water supply investmentstrategies used to ensure long-term supply reliability in South County. To achieve this goal, ValleyWater is conducting a planning assessment that will include an evaluation of water reuse in SouthCounty and emphasize new and/or revised water reuse opportunities for the City of Morgan Hill. TheReuse Master Plan is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2021.

In 1999, the South County Regional Wastewater Authority (SCRWA) and Valley Water entered into aProducer-Wholesaler Agreement for the development and construction of a recycled water system.The agreement included a provision to collaboratively update a South County Recycled Water MasterPlan in 5-year intervals. In 2004, the initial South County Recycled Water Master Plan wascompleted. This Plan identified recycled water capital investment projects to improve the SouthCounty recycled water system’s reliability and to expand the use of recycled water in South County.In 2015, Valley Water prepared an update to the South County Recycled Water Master Plan (2015Master Plan Update) that supported Valley Water’s goal of supplying at least 10% of annual recycledwater production as a percentage of total county water demand by 2025. Of the water reusealternatives considered, the projects selected for preliminary implementation only included baselineconveyance alignments in Gilroy. None of the Morgan Hill alternatives were selected forimplementation because these alternatives did not present sufficient benefit for expansion due tosmall water demands and the high cost of infrastructure that would be required.

The 2015 Master Plan Update evaluated three recycled water alternatives to provide recycled waterservice to Morgan Hill:

ü Alternative 1 - Morgan Hill High Speed Rail Transmission Main: This alignment would extend a

pipeline along the proposed High-Speed Rail easement along Monterey Road to conveyrecycled water from the SCRWA wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Gilroy to Morgan Hill,and to service potential customers in Morgan Hill.

ü Alternative 2 - Joint Trunk Transmission Main: This alignment would extend a pipeline parallelto the existing joint sewer trunk line to convey recycled water from SCRWA WWTP in Gilroy toMorgan Hill, and service potential customers in Morgan Hill.

ü Alternative 3 - Scalping Plant: This alignment would construct a satellite WWTP in Morgan Hillthat would divert flow from the sewer system and then treat the wastewater to recycled waterquality standards for non-potable water recycling in Morgan Hill.

In 2020, the Reuse Master Plan reviewed previous South County water reuse assessments anddeveloped new conceptual alternatives for further consideration, which included two conceptualIndirect Potable Reuse (IPR) alternatives-Ground Water Recharge (GWR) and Surface WaterAugmentation (SWA) from a satellite WWTP and an advanced water purification facility (AWPF):

ü SWA Alternative - The SWA variation assumes a transmission pipeline would convey purifiedwater from a new WWTF/AWPF to the south end of Anderson Reservoir. Using an East DuaneAvenue alignment, the pipeline would traverse up to an elevation of approximately 880 feet.

ü GWA Alternative - The GWR variation assumes a transmission pipeline would convey purifiedwater from a new WWTF/AWPF to groundwater recharge ponds. Due to the large number ofpotable wells in the service area, travel time is likely to be inadequate to meet currentregulations.

ü Non-Potable Reuse (NPR+) Alternative - The NPR+ concept would involve recycled waterservice from the South Bay Water Recycling (SBWR) system using a pipeline extension onMonterey Road and continuing about 6 miles to Burnett Road in Morgan Hill. The pipelineextension would connect into the northern terminus of a proposed Morgan Hill NPRdistribution system (MH-6 alignment in 2015 Master Plan Update).

NEXT STEPS:The Reuse Master Plan officially released the Draft Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan Report inJuly 2020 for stakeholder review and comment. Project partner and stakeholder review is anticipatedto take 6 to 8 weeks, however unanticipated COVID impacts may extend the administrative reviewprocess. Valley Water staff will address stakeholder comments and concerns and integrate all priorplanning documents into the Draft Final Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan Report, tentativelyscheduled for October 2020. Valley Water will also conduct follow-up Project Partner and ExecutiveLeadership Group meetings to discuss the Draft Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan Reportcomments and recommendations. These meetings will occur prior to preparing the Draft FinalCountywide Water Reuse Master Plan Report in the fall of 2020.

A Special Meeting of the Valley Water Board of Directors was conducted on June 16, 2020 for aBoard study session on the scope and timing of purified water projects construction. Consequently,the Board directed staff to prepare various projected rate scenarios based upon full and partial

Thank you, Doug Muirhead, Morgan Hill ----- 4.4 Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan [key point] Lack of engagement with public in plan development. [comment] 1) You invest considerable effort from the Communications Team in trying to change the public perception of water reuse from Yuck to Yea. Yet you make no effort to involve the public in the discussion of planning for water reuse. Lots of talk of Project Partner and Executive Leadership Group meetings and reviews by (undefined) stakeholders but no public participation even if just Inform rather than Engage. 2) I really appreciate the visual and textual glossary. ----- 4.6 Update on South Santa Clara County Water Reuse Opportunities. [key points] No cost offset for avoided purchase and/or lack of availability of imported water. No mention of wastewater input allocation in the plans for expansion of SCRWA. Does Morgan Hill retain control of some wastewater for greywater and recycled water reuse?

[comment] 1) What is the offset to Lifecycle cost from avoided purchase and/or impacts from lack of availability of imported water? During the previous drought, I argued that the "20th century model" for making decisions about recycled water was that paying as little as possible for water was the primary consideration. (The 2020 Reuse Plan defers Rate Impacts to the next iteration of the document.) I then argued that we should replace that with a "21st century model" that is a choice between having expensive water and having no water. The 2015 Master Plan analysis looked at capital costs ($18M) and operation costs ($1.5M) for a Morgan Hill scalping plant. The 2020 Reuse Plan Potential Future South County Reuse Opportunities (Table 6-8) estimates using purified water from a satellite WWTP and AWPF in Morgan Hill for GWR has Total Capital Cost: $125M* Total Annual O&M Cost: $6.9M* Unit Cost, 30-Year Lifecycle: $6,300/AF* Projected 2040 Yield: 1,900 AFY and for SWA has Total Capital Cost: $145M* Total Annual O&M Cost: $7.4M* Unit Cost, 30-Year Lifecycle: $7,200/AF* Projected 2040 Yield: 1,900 AFY The 2015 Plan section on Value of Recycled Water Supply simply rated alternatives as low or high value. Dollar amounts were not provided to contrast costs. The analysis did not value a drought-proof source of water. We were not shown a value for recharge to keep wells flowing. We were not shown the value of augmenting imported water (when available) or substituting for it (when not available); the District pays real money to import water from outside the County. 2) One 2020 Countywide Reuse Master Plan objective is to: Determine source water availability and reuse benefits. What troubles me is what appears to be a senior-water-rights/ junior-water-rights view which gives SCRWA and Gilroy recycled water but prevents Morgan Hill from using its own effluent (both wastewater and greywater). For both local resiliency and local control, Morgan Hill must be allowed to retain some of our effluent. Note that the 1992 Joint Powers Agreement explicitly empowers Morgan Hill as a member agency to independently plan and/or construct its own wastewater and reclamation facilities. The 2020 Reuse Plan SCRWA WWTP Flow Analysis (5.2.4 Figure 5-5) says During the summer months, a portion of wastewater from Morgan Hill is needed to supply NPR in Gilroy. On average, 3 mgd of remaining effluent is available from SCRWA WWTP. If considering satellite treatment in Morgan Hill, only 2.1 mgd of Morgan Hill's wastewater

would be available on average, assuming some would be needed to supply NPR in Gilroy during the summer months. This is then discounted with a Limitation for Option 2 + 3 A Morgan Hill satellite facility would increase solids loads to SCRWA, posing operational issues that may be substantial. I have seen no mention of input allocation in the plans for expansion of SCRWA. I am concerned that we will be prevented from having an option for recycled water in Morgan Hill because the SCRWA expansion will have already occurred.

COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Recycled Water CommitteeSUBJECT:Update on South Santa Clara County Water Reuse Governance.

RECOMMENDATION:Receive information and discuss next steps.

SUMMARY:Since 2015, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) Board of Directors and RecycledWater Committee have acknowledged that successful implementation of recycled and purified waterprograms would rely upon partnership agreements between Valley Water and contributing projectpartners. Board and Committee members have asserted that participatory governance waswarranted by the substantial fiscal investment by Valley Water in the development of water reuseinfrastructure in South County. Furthermore, successful partnerships will be key to achieving ValleyWater’s goal for utilizing water recycling to provide at least 10% of total County water supplydemands.

Existing partnerships and agreement terms between Valley Water and recycled water producers,wholesalers, and retailers varies significantly. The Board has established joint committees with theelected officials representing South Bay Water Recycling, City of Sunnyvale, City of Palo Alto, andCity of Mountain View to facilitate progress on these efforts. The Board has also established a JointWater Resources Committee with elected officials from the Cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy to discussa variety of water resource issues, including how best to further development of water reuse in SouthCounty. Staff is pursuing additional development of relationships and agreements with producersand retailers to support existing recycled water systems and the implementation of recycled andpurified water expansion efforts.

South County Partnership - Valley Water, SCRWA, the City of Gilroy, and the City of Morgan Hill havepartnered to ensure the continued utilization of recycled water in South County and to promote theexpansion of recycled water in the region. Since 1999, SCWRA and Valley Water have endorsed aProducer-Wholesaler Agreement for the development and construction of the South County recycledwater system. The parties subsequently amended this agreement in 2006 to expand SCRWA’srecycled water production. However, this agreement does not allow Valley Water or SCRWA Boardmembers the opportunity to govern policy direction on development and operation of recycled waterin South County.

In 2016, Valley Water staff completed the Recycled Water Governance Survey to collect and

summarize information on the management and operation of recycled and purified water deliverysystems from agencies within the State of California. The objective of this survey was to collect andsummarize information on the management and operation of recycled and purified water deliverysystems from agencies like Valley Water. The Survey concluded there is no set industry standard thatdetermine the roles and responsibilities, procedures, and policies in the delivery of recycled water forwater reuse applications.

Staff will update the Committee on discussions towards a suitable governance structure for SouthCounty recycled water.

BOARD AGENDA MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:Discuss the 2020 Recycled Water Committee Work Plan and Meeting Schedule, Consider the Needto Schedule the Committee’s Next Meeting Date, and if Necessary Consider Authorizing theCommittee Chair to Discuss the Future Recycled Water Committee Meeting Date with the BoardChair.

RECOMMENDATION:A. Discuss the 2020 Recycled Water Committee Work Plan;B. Consider the need to schedule the Committee’s next meeting date; andC. If necessary, consider authorizing the Committee Chair to discuss the future Recycled Water

Committee meeting date with the Board Chair.

SUMMARY:Under direction of the Clerk, Work Plans are used by all Board Committees to increase Committeeefficiency, provide increased public notice of intended Committee discussions, and enable improvedfollow-up by staff. Work Plans are dynamic documents managed by Committee Chairs and aresubject to change.

The draft 2020 Recycled Water Committee Work Plan was presented to the Committee at itsJanuary 21, 2020 meeting, at which time the Committee adopted a regular meeting schedule on thefourth Wednesdays of the month, throughout 2020.

On March 17, 2020, the California State Governor issued an Emergency Declaration related toCOVID-19. As a result, all regularly scheduled Committee meetings were cancelled by the BoardChairperson. At the July 28, 2020 Board meeting the Board determined that Committees mayresume their pre-COVID-19 regular meeting schedules, so long as meetings were held in compliancewith the Brown Act, as currently in effect under the State Emergency Services Act and the Governor'sExecutive Order N-29-20 that allows attendance by members of the Committee, District staff, and thepublic to participate and conduct the meeting by teleconference, videoconference, or both.

For the remaining of CY 2020, staff has indicated on the attached work plan (Attachment 1) agendaitems necessary for the continuation of recycled water projects.
