REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/21/2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 05-080 Analysis: The Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 requires that water utilities that supply over 3000 acre-feet of water per year or have 3000 or more customers submit an Urban Water Management Plan every five years. Huntington Beach last adopted a plan in December 2000. The plan must be presented at a public hearing, adopted by resolution and submitted to the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) by December 31, 2005. DWR in turn compiles the information in the plans and submits a report to the legislature. The attached Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) focuses on water supply and demand management for the City. It incorporates and references the plans of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWD is the major supplemental water supplier to Southern California providing water from the Colorado River and State Water Project. MWDOC is a member agency of MWD and serves as the City's wholesaler of MWD water. The Orange County Water District (OCWD), which manages the Santa Ana River groundwater basin from which the City obtains 64% of its water supply, is not required to submit a plan. However, information supplied by OCWD regarding the groundwater basin is included as well. The UWMP also incorporates water use efficiency efforts implemented pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU). The City became signatory and adopted the MOU in August 2000. The City's UWMP includes sections on: Sources and Supplies Water Quality Reliability Planning Water Use Provisions Demand Management Measures Water Shortage Contingency, and Water Recycling Demographic and water use projections are presented in five year increments up to 2030. In general, the plan focuses on projected water supply versus demand and is intended to act as a guide for the City's water use efficiency efforts. The plan also examines the potential effect on water supply of single and multiple dry years. Because of Huntington Beach's groundwater and import connection capacities, it is estimated that 100% of demand can be met even in a multiple dry year scenario. Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Final Draft 1112115 A - , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Ptah Update Section 1 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE AND UWMP SUMMARY An Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) prepared by a water purveyor is to ensure the appropriate level of reliability of water service sufficient to meet the needs of its various categories of customers during normal, single dry or multiple dry years. The California Water Management Planning Act of 1983 (Act), as amended, requires urban water suppliers to develop an UWMP every five years in the years ending in zero and five. The legislature declared that waters of the state are a limited and renewable resource subject to ever increasing demands; that the conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies are of statewide concern; that successful implementation of plans is best accomplished at the local level; that conservation and efficient use of water shall be actively pursued to protect both the people of the state and their water resources; that conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies shall be a guiding criterion in public decisions; and that urban water suppliers shall be required to develop water management plans to achieve conservation and efficient use. The City of Huntington Beach (City) 2005 UWMP has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Act, as amended to 20051 (Appendix A), and includes the following: • Utilities Division Service Area • Utilities Division Facilities • Water Sources and Supplies • Water Quality Information • Water Reliability Planning • Water Use Provisions • Water Demand Management Measures • Water Shortage Contingency Plan • Water Recycling t 1.2 UWMP UPDATE PREPARATION The City's 2005 UWMP revises the 2000 UWMP prepared by the City and incorporates changes enacted by recent legislation including SB 610 (2001), AB 901 (2001), SB 672 (2001), SB 1348 (2002), SB 1384 (2002), SB 1518 (2002), AB 105 (2004, and SB 318 (2004). The UWMP also incorporates water use efficiency efforts the City has implemented or is considering implementing pursuant to the Memorandum of 'California Water Code,Division 6,Part 2.6;§10610,et.seq.Established by Assembly Bill 797(1983). ..........---............................................................................................................--.......---........................_................._.......................................................---.......-..._............—---.............-----....--......................_......---.................................... 1-1 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 1 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU).2 The City became signatory and adopted the MOU on December 19, 2000. ' The sections in this Plan correspond to the outline of the Act specifically Article 2 p � p Y Contents of Plans, Sections 10631, 10632, and 10633. The sequence used for the required , information, however, differs slightly in order to present information in a manner reflecting the unique characteristics of the City's water utility. The Department of Water Resources Review for Completeness form has been completed, which identifies the location of Act requirements in this Plan and is included as Appendix B. The 2005 UWMP was adopted by resolution of the Huntington Beach City Council on November 21, 2005 following a public hearing. The Plan was submitted to the California , Department of Water Resources and the State Library within 30 days of Council approval. Copies of the Notice of Public Hearing and the Resolution of Plan Adoption are included in Appendix C. Draft copies of the Plan were made available to the public , within 30 days following City Council approval. Agency Coordination Development of this Plan was performed by the City of Huntington Beach Utilities , Division staff, in coordination with other departments of the City including the City Administrator's Office, Public Works Department, Community Development Department, Economic Development Department, and Ci�Clerk's Office. The City is fully dependent on the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) through the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) and , the Orange County Water District (OCWD) for its long-term water supply. All of the City's water supply planning relates to the policies, rules, and regulations of these three water agencies. Development of the City's UWMP was also coordinated with MWDOC, which serves as the City's wholesaler of water received from Metropolitan; OCWD, which manages the Santa Ana River (Orange County) groundwater basin and provides ' recycled water in partnership with the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD); and the OCSD, which manages wastewater. , This UWMP details the specifics as they relate to the City of Huntington Beach Utilities Division and its service area and will refer to MWDOC, Metropolitan, OCWD and OCSD throughout. Appendix D lists the numerous references used benefiting the development of this Plan. , 'The Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU) was adopted in September 1991 by a large number of water suppliers,public advocacy organizations and other interested groups. It created the California Urban Water Conservation Council and established 16 Best Management Practices(BMPs)for , urban water conservation, recently refined to 14 BMPs. The City of Huntington Beach adopted the MOU on August 21,2000. .............................._..............................................._..__._.........................---_._...................................._._._..................................................__........................_._............................._._.....__._..__....................................._..........................................................-- Final Draft 11121105 - City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water l4anage ent Plan Update Section 1 The UWMP is intended to serve as a general, flexible, and open-ended document that ' periodically can be updated to reflect changes in the Orange County water supply trends, and conservation and water use efficiency policies. This Plan, along with the City's ' Water Master Plan and other City planning documents, will be used by City staff to guide the City's water use and management efforts through the year 2010, when the UWMP is required to be updated 1.3 HUNTINGTON BEACH WATER SERVICE AREA Location The City of Huntington Beach is located 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 90 miles northwest of San Diego along the Southern California coast of Orange County as shown in Figure 1.1-1. Huntington Beach has a land area of 28 square miles and a water area of 26 square miles. The City is generally flat, with elevations ranging from a low of about 5 feet below to 120 feet above sea level. The City is predominately residential, although it also has nearly 500 major industrial businesses, 56 parks, and 8 1/2 miles of beaches. The City also supplies water to Sunset Beach, which is approximately 68 acres of unincorporated land located off Pacific Coast Highway near Huntington Harbor. Climate Characteristics The City of Huntington Beach is located in an area known as the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The SCAB climate is characterized by what is known as Southern California's Mediterranean" climate: a semi-arid environment with mild winters, warm summers and moderate rainfall. The climate for the City is consistent with coastal Southern California. The general region lies in the semi-permanent high-pressure zone of the eastern Pacific. As a result, the climate is mild, tempered by cool sea breezes. The usually mild climatological pattern is interrupted infrequently by periods of extremely hot weather, winter storms, or Santa Ana winds. The average annual temperature varies throughout the Basin, averaging 62 degrees Fahrenheit at the coast where the city is located. January is usually the coldest month while July and August are usually the hottest months of the year. Annual average relative humidity is 64.7 percent. Precipitation is typically 10 to 12 inches, occurring mostly between November and April. Demographics The population of the City is currently estimated at nearly 202,000, and is growing slowly, as there is very little remaining vacant land. The City provides water to over 52,000 service connections. The Huntington Beach water service area is predominantly residential with over 90 percent of water service connections serving single-family and multi-family residences. Approximately 65 percent of Huntington Beach residents live in single-family homes. The City also serves the Sunset Beach area of unincorporated Orange County. _._... ___ - _---- - --.-_ -- - -- ------.. --- 1-3 Final Graft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach ' Section 1 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update 1 Figure 1.1 ' City of Huntington Beach Location Area i I Westminster Seal Beach 1 i Fountain , Valley 1 City of Huntington Beach N — J 1 I 4 ' S f 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 Miles Costa Mesa 1 Final Draft 11121105 1-4 ' 1 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update Section 1 The population per household was estimated at 2.56 by the Center for Demographic Research (CDR) at California State University Fullerton in 2004, which compares with ' 3.07 and 2.87 in Orange County and California, respectively.

It is a charter city, administered by a council/administrator government. From 1936 to 1964, the water system serving Huntington Beach was owned and operated by the Southern California Water Company. In 1964, the City purchased the private system and the City's Water Division was established as a Division of the Public Works Department. In 2003, the Public Works Sewer Section was incorporated into the Water Division to form the Utilities Division. 1 The Utilities Division is the principal water retailer within the City boundaries and the Sunset Beach area of unincorporated Orange County. The Utilities Division is responsible for operating and maintaining wells, reservoirs, imported water connections, distribution pipelines, fire hydrants, water meters and related infrastructure, and for meter reading and billing. The Utilities Division also conducts comprehensive water quality testing and monitoring programs and develops long range operational and engineering plans designed to prepare for future needs and contingencies. The City of Huntington Beach is 56.1 percent owner and acts as General Manager/Engineer for the West Orange County Water Board.

The agencies who work in concert to provide these services are the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan), the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) and the Orange County Water District(OCWD). 1 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) Metropolitan was formed in the late 1920's. At that time, Orange County was mostly an agriculturally based economy with the cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Fullerton as the primary centers of urban development. Although other cities and residential communities existed at that time, it was these three cities that joined ten others located in Southern California, to form Metropolitan in 1928. Collectively,these charter members recognized the limited water supplies available within the region, and realized that continued prosperity and economic development of Southern California depended upon the acquisition and careful management of an adequate supplemental water supply. This foresight made the continued development of southern California and Orange County tpossible. Metropolitan acquires water from northern California via the State Water Project and from the Colorado River to supply water to most of southern California. As a wholesaler, Metropolitan has no retail customers, and distributes treated and untreated water directly to its member agencies. One such member agency is MWDOC. Municipal Water District of Orange County(MWDOC) In 1951, MWDOC was formed to provide supplemental water to many purveyors within Orange County who were not Metropolitan member agencies. The communities surrounding the Lower Santa Ana Groundwater Basin realized that the local underground supply might not be sufficient to meet future demands of the area. MWDOC was formed for the purpose of contracting with Metropolitan to acquire supplemental import water supplies from northern California and the Colorado River for use within the Orange County area. MWDOC is Metropolitan's second largest wholesale member agency. MWDOC represents 30 member agencies, including 14 special districts, 14 city water departments, one private water company and one mutual water company. MWDOC provides imported water to all of Orange County except for the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana.3 It is through MWDOC that the City purchases imported water from Metropolitan.

As part of its original formation, OCWD was established by a special act(Act), of the State of California Legislature. This legislation is found in the State of California Statutes, Water — Uncodified Acts, Act 5683, as amended.4 The basin is managed by OCWD under the Act, which functions as a statutorily-imposed physical solution. Section 77 of the Act states that, 'nothing in this act contained shall be so construed as to affect or impair the vested right of any person, association or corporation to the use of water.5 According to the Act, the City has the right to construct and operate groundwater-producing facilities in the basin. The Act also empowers OCWD to impose replenishment assessments and basin equity assessments on production and to require registration of water-producing facilities and the filing of certain reports; however, OCWD is expressly prohibited from limiting extraction unless a producer agrees.6 The basin is managed by OCWD for the benefit of municipal, agricultural and private groundwater producers. OCWD has 23 major producers extracting water from the Orange County groundwater basin (basin) serving a population of approximately 2.8 million.7 Carefully managed by OCWD in collaboration with the other water and wastewater agencies, the growing population can be assured of a secure water supply from the groundwater source. Processes such as groundwater recharge of the Santa Ana River, recycling of wastewater, conservation and water use efficiency, and creative water purchases have aided in replenishing the groundwater basin to desired levels to meet required demands. West Orange County Water Board(WOCWB) As discussed earlier, the WOCWB is a Joint Powers Agency between four participating agencies. The members include the City of Huntington Beach, the City of Garden Grove, the City of Westminster, and the City of Seal Beach. The board consists of five members, with the City of Huntington Beach having two seats on the board. The board meets quarterly and manages surface water deliveries from Metropolitan (through MWDOC) to the agencies. The board oversees the maintenance of two feeder pipelines that connect to the treated surface water supply. The pipelines have a capacity of 21 CFS and 45 CFS. Each of the member agencies has paid for the capacity of the feeder pipelines and directly pays MWDOC for the use of water. 4 Orange County Water District Act. 5 Orange County Water District Act,Section 77. 6 Orange County Water District Act,Sections 23 and 31.5. 7 Orange County Facts and Figures.

Final Draft 11121105 2-2 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Managen7ent Plan Update Section 2 2.2 WATER SUPPLY The City currently receives approximately 64 percent of its water supply from groundwater wells accessing the Santa Ana River groundwater basin and 36 percent from ' Metropolitan through MWDOC. These percentages are established through OCWD's allowable Basin Pumping Percentage (BPP). The BPP is typically set by OCWD on an ' annual basis. However, OCWD does have the option of revising the BPP as needed. Actual percentages vary somewhat on an annual basis depending on the extent in-lieu delivery programs are implemented. For example, in 2003/04, the City's water supply was 66 percent imported water and 34 percent groundwater. Current and projected water supplies from imported water and groundwater are shown in Table 2.2-1 and described in subsequent sections.

Imported water is delivered from northern California via the State Water Project and from the Colorado River, and is treated at the Robert B. Diemer and Joseph Jensen Filtration Plant before the water is delivered to the City. The City maintains three imported water connections to the Metropolitan system. The characteristics of these connections are shown in Table 2.2-2. OC-9 is located at the intersection of Dale and Katella Streets in the City of Stanton, and enters the city at the intersection of Newland and Edinger Streets. OC-35 is located at the same intersection and enters Huntington Beach at the intersection of Springdale and Glenwood Streets. OC- 9 and OC-35 are under the jurisdiction of the West Orange County Water Board. OC-44 is a meter located at the East Orange County Feeder #2, and flow is delivered to the City's service area through a 24- to 42-inch transmission main jointly owned with the ' City and Mesa Consolidated Water District. A secondary metering station,jointly owned, is located on Adams Avenue at the Santa Ana River. i ........_......_..........._..............................................................................................................._........_.....................................................---........_-._.............................................................................................................................................................................................---- -:3 final Draft 111 110 City of Huntington Beach , Section 2 2005 Urban Water Management ment Plan Update Table 2.2-2 Imported Water Connections ■ ■ Os �% �/r c s \� y e opl`?!� OC-9 6,750 gpm Zone 1 , OC-35 11,250 gpm Zone 1 OC-44 7,000 gpm Zone 1 , Total Capacity 25,000 gpm Source:Huntington Beach Water System Master Plan, 1995 , The City participates, in coordination with MWDOC and the OCWD, in Metropolitan's In-lieu Program. OCWD, MWDOC, and Metropolitan have developed a successful and efficient In-lieu Program to increase storage in the groundwater basin and anticipate working together on future programs. One such future program is the proposed Surplus , Water Program. The Surplus Water Program will allow Metropolitan to make direct deliveries to the , City's distribution system in lieu of producing water from the Orange County groundwater basin. This In-lieu Program indirectly replenishes the basin by avoiding ' pumping. In the In-lieu Program, OCWD requests the City to limit pumping to defined volumes from specified wells. The City then takes replacement water through its import connections, which is purchased by OCWD from Metropolitan (through MWDOC). ' OCWD purchases the water at a reduced rate, and then bills the City the amount it would have had to pay for energy and the Replenishment Assessment (RA) if it had produced , the water from its wells. The deferred local production results in water being left in local storage for future use. Reservoirs , The City maintains four potable water storage reservoirs (Overmyer, Peck, Springdale, , and Edwards Hill) with a total capacity of 55 million gallons. Pumps draw water from the reservoirs and pressurize it into the water system during high demand periods. ' Groundwater Orange County Groundwater Basin The Orange County groundwater basin underlies the north half of Orange County beneath , broad lowlands. The basin covers an area of approximately 350 square miles, bordered by the Coyote and Chino Hills to the north, the Santa Ana Mountains to the northeast, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, and terminates at the Orange County line to the ' northwest, where its aquifer systems continue into the Central Basin of Los Angeles County. The aquifers comprising the Orange County groundwater basin extend over ' 2,000 feet deep and form a complex series of interconnected sand and gravel deposits. .........._.__._..............................................---.........................................................................................................__._......_.._...............................__...__............_........................_.............---._._._........................................................................ Final Draft 11121105 - , City f Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 2 Groundwater supply currently meets approximately 64 percent of the water supply ' demand for all of Orange County that overlies the Orange County Groundwater Basin. This amount can be adjusted as needed based on groundwater basin hydrologic conditions, but is typically set on an annual basis. During the water year July 2003 to June 2004, total basin production for all agencies was ' approximately 284,621 acre-feet.8 The groundwater basin generally operates as a reservoir in which the net amount of water stored is increased in wet years to allow for managed overdrafts in dry years. The basin is recharged primarily from local rainfall (greater in wet years), base flow from the Santa Ana River (much of which is actually recycled wastewater from treatment plants in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties), imported water percolated into the basin, and recycled wastewater directly recharged into the basin. The production capability of the basin is being increased as a result of a variety of specific management initiatives including increased wastewater reclamation and the blending of lower quality water with potable water for public distribution. The Orange County groundwater basin is not adjudicated and based on the Department of Water Resources' official departmental bulletins, California's Groundwater Bulletin 118 Updated 2003 and Bulletin 160, The California Water Plan Update 2005, the Orange County groundwater basin is not specifically identified as a basin in an overdraft condition. The California Water Plan Update, however, does state that groundwater overdraft is a challenge for the South Coast Hydrologic Region, which includes the Orange County groundwater basin. The Orange County groundwater basin is considered in an overdraft condition by OCWD, however the groundwater levels and amount of overdraft fluctuate overtime. OCWD continually monitors groundwater level trends and has collected data since 1962. OCWD's Groundwater Management Plan summarizes the accumulated overdraft and water level elevations within the basin. OCWD estimates that ' the accumulated overdraft in June 2004 was approximately 400,000 acre-feet.9 Based on OCWD's 2004 Groundwater Management Plan the target accumulated overdraft is 200,000 AF. An accumulated overdraft condition minimizes the localized high groundwater levels and increases ability to recharge storm events from the Santa Ana River. OCWD estimates that the groundwater basin can safely be operated on a short-term emergency basis with a maximum accumulated overdraft of approximately 500,000 AF; however, 400,000 AF is preferred. With an accumulated overdraft of ' 200,000 AF, the basin is considered 99.5 percent full with 40 MAF of groundwater in storage. In an effort to eliminate long-term overdraft conditions, OCWD developed a comprehensive computer-based groundwater flow model to study and better understand ' the basin's reaction to pumping and recharge. OCWD has also implemented a monitoring OOrange County Water District,Draft 2003-2004 Engineer's Report on Groundwater conditions,Water Supply and Basin Utilization in the Orange County Water District,February 2005 9Orange County Water District,Draft 2003-2004 Engineer's Report on Groundwater conditions,Water Supply and Basin Utilization in the Orange County Water District,February 2005 ......................................................_........---._....................._._......._.......................................................................................................................................................__.._........................................................................__....................................................................................._.... _ 2-5 FinalDraft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach ' Section 2 2005 Urban later Management flan Update program to track dynamic conditions including groundwater production, storage, elevations, and quality. Components of this monitoring program include the request for , the City to provide its groundwater production to OCWD on a monthly basis, yearly measurement of groundwater levels, water quality monitoring, and prevention of sea , water intrusion. Basin Pumping Percentage , One of the methods OCWD uses to manage the amount of production from the Orange County groundwater basin is the establishment of a Basin Production Percentage (BPP). ' OCWD recommends a BPP each water year which is calculated by dividing a producer's groundwater production by their total water demands. The BPP is based on groundwater conditions, availability of imported water supplies, and basin management objectives. , The BPP is also a major factor in determining the cost of groundwater production from the basin for that year. , While the BPP has been as high as 75 percent in recent years, the BPP was set at 66 percent for 2004-2005. The BPP has been set at 64 percent for the water year 2005-2006 , and is anticipated to increase to 70 percent over the next five years. Producers may pump above the BPP to 100 percent of their needs by paying the Basin Equity Assessment (BEA). The BEA is the additional fee paid on any water pumped above the BPP, making ' the cost of that water equal or greater to the cost of imported water. Such flexibility in producing over the BPP guarantees the City and other water utilities in Orange County , the ability to provide water to their customers during periods of varying water availability. When Metropolitan has an abundance of water, they may choose to activate their In-Lieu , Program, where imported water is purchased in-lieu of pumping groundwater. This is a ' special program supported by OCWD, MWDOC and Metropolitan, which allows some agencies to pump above the BPP without penalty of the BEA. Recharge Facilities , Another method for controlling overdraft is through recharge management programs. , The basin is recharged by multiple sources including natural and artificial sources. Natural recharge occurs when groundwater producers use surface water in-lieu of groundwater. The reduction in pumping naturally recharges the basin. Another source of ' natural recharge is the result of precipitation and OCWD estimates that approximately 60,000 AFY recharged to the basin. , Artificial recharge occurs through developed percolation ponds (approximately 1,000 acres) and also via injection through the Talbert and Alamitos Barriers. The four ' groundwater spreading systems throughout OCWD's service area and their respectable percolations rates are summarized in Table 2.2-3. .............................._.....................................-----..........................................._......-................_..............................._....--..............._..........................__-.................. _..................................__.._..............._.............._................._.............................

OCWD estimates that approximately 155,000 AF of baseflow and 60,000 AF of storm flows are recharged each year on average. OCWD also imports between 35,000 and 60,000 AF of replenishment water to be used for recharging the basin. OCWD also recharges the basin b injecting water to prevent seawater intrusion. The g Y J g ' seawater intrusion barriers include the Talbert and Alamitos Barriers. The Talbert Barrier has 26 injection wells and injects 12 mgd into the groundwater basin. Over 95 percent of the water injected flows inland and is therefore considered replenishment water. The Alamitos Barrier injects approximately 5,000 AFY of which 50 percent stays within the basin for replenishment. The estimated average annual recharge of the basin based on the information provided above is 328,400 AF to 353,400 AF. The range is due to the amount of imported water purchased from Metropolitan each year. The amount of water available for recharge will vary from year to year. ' City Wells Within the City, groundwater for potable use is produced from nine operating wells currently in use that vary in depth from 204 feet to 996 feet, with production varying from 350 gallons per minute (gpm) to 3,400 gpm, with a total system capacity of approximately 20,690 gpm as shown in Table 2.2-4. Two other City wells are used only for irrigation: Goldenwest No 4 and Meadowlark No. 2. Goldenwest Well No. 4 is currently used to irrigate Huntington Central Park and the Meadowlark Golf Course. Goldenwest Well No. 4 will be destroyed after Well No 8 is put online in 2006, while Meadowlark Well No. 2 will continued to be used to irrigated Meadowlark Golf Course. .......................................................-...................................................----...................................................................................--------------...._._..................._-............................................................................................................................................... -7 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 2 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Table 2.2-4 City of Huntington Beach Active and Planned Wells , H B 1(a) 1962 306 750 350 , HB3A 1994 716 2,500 1,750 HB4 1967 804 500 450 , HB5 1969 820 3,000 3,000 , HB6 1973 810 3,000 2,500 HB7 1975 891 3,400 3,400 ' HB9 1981 996 3,000 1,750 HB10 1981 960 3,400 2,700 , HB12(b) 1995 800 3,000 3,000 HB13 2001 800 2,500 2,500 , Total (gpm) 25,050 21,400 , (a) To be re-drilled with capacity increased to 750 gpm; schedule still to be determined.

Final Draft 11121105 2-10 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 3 SECTION 3 WATER QUALITY 3.1 WATER QUALITY OF EXISTING SOURCES As required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (reauthorized in 1996), the City provides annual Water Quality Reports to its customers; also known as Consumer Confidence Reports. This mandate is governed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Health Services (DHS) to inform customers of their drinking water quality. In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, the City monitors a number of regulated and unregulated compounds in its water supply and in years past, the water delivered to the City meets the standards required by the state and federal regulatory agencies.10 As mentioned earlier, the City's source of water is from imported water supplies and groundwater. IMPORTED WATER The City receives imported water through MWDOC from Metropolitan, which receives raw water from northern California through the SWP and the Colorado River Aqueduct. Metropolitan water is treated in accordance with potable standards at filtration plants located throughout Southern California. The City receives its treated imported water from the Robert B. Diemer Filtration Plant located in Yorba Linda, California and the Joseph Jensen Filtration Plant located in Granada Hills, California. Metropolitan tests and treats its water for microbial, organic, inorganic, and radioactive contaminants as well as pesticides and herbicides. Protection of Metropolitan's water system continues to be a top priority. In coordination with its 26 member public agencies, Metropolitan added new security measures in 2001 and continues to upgrade and refine procedures. Changes have included an increase in the number of water quality tests conducted each year (more than 300,000) as well as contingency plans that coordinate with the Homeland Security Office's multicolored tiered risk alert system.11 Metropolitan also has one of the most advanced laboratories in the county where water quality staff performs tests, collects data, reviews results,prepares reports, and researches other treatment technologies. Although not required, Metropolitan monitors and samples elements that are not regulated but have captured scientific and/or public interest. Metropolitan has tested for chemicals such as perchlorate, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and chromium VI among others. In Metropolitan's Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) Update, water quality was identified as a possible risk to Metropolitan's future water supply reliability. Existing supplies could be threatened in the future because of contamination, more stringent water quality regulations, or the discovery of an unknown contaminant.

Metropolitan's UWMP Update included the following examples: ' • If a groundwater basin becomes contaminated and cannot be used, more water , will be required from other sources • Imported water from the Colorado River must be blended (mixed) with lower salinity water from the SWP. Higher salinity levels in the Colorado River would , increase the proportion of SWP supplies required. • High total dissolved solids in water supplies leads to high TDS in wastewater, which increases the cost of recycled water , • If diminished water quality causes a need for membrane treatment, the process typically results in losses of up to 15 percent of the water processed , • Degradation of imported water supply quality could limit the use of local groundwater basins for storage , • Changes in drinking water quality standards such as arsenic, radon, or perchlorate could increase demand on imported water supplies Because of the concerns identified above, Metropolitan has identified those water quality issues that are most concerning and have identified necessary water management strategies to minimize the impact on water supplies. Water quality concerns with ' Metropolitan's water supplies and the approaches taken to ensure acceptable water quality are discussed in the following sections. ' Salinity Water from the Colorado River Aqueduct has the highest level of salinity of all , Metropolitan's sources of supply, averaging 650 mg/L during normal water years.12 Several actions have been taken on the state and federal level to control the salinity with , the river such as the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act in 1974 and formation of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum. In 1975, water quality standards and a plan for controlling salinity were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. , In contrast, water from the SWP is significantly lower in total dissolved solids, averaging , 250 mg/L. Because of the lower salinity, Metropolitan blends SWP water with Colorado River water to reduce the salinity in the water delivered to its customers. The Metropolitan's board has adopted a salinity objective of 500 mg/L for blended imported , water as defined in Metropolitan's Salinity Management Action Plan. Metropolitan estimates that the objective can be met in seven out of ten years. In the other three years, hydrologic conditions would result in increased salinity and reduced volume of SWP ' supplies. In an effort to address the concerns over salinity, Metropolitan secured Proposition 13 funding for two water quality programs: 'Z The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,2005 , ._....................__.........................................__.._......................_............................__...................................._..__....__..........................._.....__......................................................................---..............................................__..........................................................__._......... Final Draft 11121105 - , ' City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update Section 1) Water Quality Exchange Partnership — the funding is being used to develop new infrastructure to optimize water management capabilities between the agricultural users of the eastern San Joaquin Valley and urban users of southern California. Installing infrastructure will provide opportunities for ' Metropolitan to exchange SWP water for higher quality water. 2) The Desalination Research and Innovation Partnership — the funding is being used to develop cost-effective advanced water treatment technologies for the desalination of Colorado River water, brackish groundwater, municipal 1 wastewater, and agricultural drainage water. Perchlorate in Colorado River Perchlorate is a contaminant of concern and is known to have adverse effects on the thyroid. Perchlorate has been detected at low levels in the Colorado River water supply. Perchlorate is difficult to remove from water supplies with conventional water treatment. Successful treatment technologies include nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, biological treatment, and fluidized bed bioreactor treatment. Metropolitan continues to monitor ' perchlorate contamination of the Colorado River as well as research various treatment options. In 2002 Metropolitan adopted a Perchlorate Action Plan which defined the following nine objectives: 1) expand monitoring and reporting programs 2) assess the impact of perchlorate on local groundwater supplies 3) continue tracking health effects studies 4) continue tracking remediation efforts in the Las Vegas Wash 5) initiate modeling of perchlorate levels in the Colorado River 6) investigate the need for additional resource management strategies 7) pursue legislative and regulatory options for cleanup activities and regulatory ' standards 8) include information on perchlorate into outreach activities 9) provide periodic updates to Metropolitan's board and member agencies Disinfection by-products formed by disinfectants reacting with bromide and total organic carbon in SWP water SWP water supplies contain levels of total organic carbon and bromide that are a concern to Metropolitan to maintain safe drinking water supplies. When water is disinfected at treatment plants certain chemical reactions can occur with these impurities that can form Disinfection Byproducts (DBP). DBPs in turn can result in the formation of Trihalomethanes (THMs), Haloacetic Acids (HAAs) and other DBPs. THMs and HAAs have been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Inherent in any through-Delta water movement is the high organic and bromide loading imposed on the water from agricultural runoff and salt water intrusion. This poses significant treatment challenges to the receiving end users, like Metropolitan, to avoid problems with DBPs and the formation of THMs. It is imperative that the quality of SWP water delivered to Metropolitan be maintained at the highest levels possible. ......................................................................................................................_._............................................................................................................_......................_................................................................._...-...........-......................................_..-_......._........-----..._. 3-3 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington each Section 3 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update In order to control the total organic carbon and bromide concentrations in Metropolitan's water supply, SWP water is blended with Colorado River water. The blending of the two water sources benefits in two ways: reduction in disinfection byproducts and reduction in salinity (as discussed earlier). Because of the recent drought conditions on the Colorado River, water supplies have been reduced which impacts the blending operations at the various filtration plants. As a result, Metropolitan's board authorized the use of ozone as the primary disinfectant at all five Metropolitan treatment plants in July 2003. Previously, only the Henry J Mills and Jensen Filtration Plants had been approved for this treatment. These two plants were chosen for the use of ozone in order to meet new disinfection byproducts regulations. Metropolitan's board plans to install ozonation at the remaining three plants by 2009, including the Diemer filtration plant. Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) in groundwater and local surface reservoirs The California Department of Health Services has adopted a primary maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 13 ug/L for MTBE. MTBE is an oxygenate found in gasoline. Metropolitan monitors MTBE levels at Diamond Valley Lake and Lake Skinner. The reservoirs also have boat requirements such as MTBE-free fuel to aid in the protection of imported water supplies. MTBE concentrations have been below the MCL. Uranium Uranium is a contaminant of concern in the water from the Colorado River. There are uranium mine tailings located approximately 600 feet from the river at Moab, Utah. Rainfall seeps through the tailings and contaminates the local groundwater which flows to the river. In 2003, an interim action system was implemented that intercepts some of the contaminated groundwater prior to reaching the river. The Department of Energy is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement that will evaluate the possibility of moving the pile, capping it in place, and other alternatives. Uranium levels at Metropolitan's intake range from I to 5 pCi/L whereas the California drinking water standard is 20 pCi/L.13 N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) NDMA is an emerging contaminant that may have an impact on the water supply. Although Metropolitan's water supplies are non-detect for NDMA,there is a concern that chlorine and monochloramine can react with organic nitrogen precursors to form NDMA. Hexavalent Chromium (Chromium VI) Currently, the MCL for total chromium is 0.05 mg/L, which includes Chromium VI. California DHS is to set a MCL for Chromium VI, however, the Office of Health Hazard Assessment must first establish a public health goal. Metropolitan samples for Chromium VI and monitors levels within the Colorado River because of Chromium VI detection in groundwater near the river. The plume of Chromium VI has been detected in recently "The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,2005 .............................................................................................................................___._................................. .........................................................................___.__...................................................................................... Final Draft 11121105 3-4 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban n Water Management Plan Update Section installed wells that are located less than 60 feet west of the Colorado River near Topock, ' Arizona. In February 2005, Chromium VI was detected at a concentration of 354 parts per billion (ug/L).14 Metropolitan is involved in a Technical Work Group that reviews monitoring results and remediation plans for contaminated groundwater. Water Quality Programs ' Metropolitan supports and is involved in many programs that address water quality concerns related to both the SWP and Colorado River supplies. Some of the programs and activities include: • CALFED Program — This program coordinates several SWP water feasibility ' studies and projects. These include: 1. A feasibility study on water quality improvement in the California Aqueduct ' 2. The conclusion of feasibility studies and demonstration projects under the Southern California-San Joaquin Regional Water Quality Exchange Project.15 This exchange project was discussed earlier as a mean to convey higher ' quality water to Metropolitan. 3. DWR's Municipal Water Quality Investigations Program and the Sacramento River Watershed Program. Both programs address water quality problems in the Bay-Delta and Sacramento River watershed. • Delta Improvement Package — Metropolitan in conjunction with DWR and US Geologic Survey have completed modeling efforts of the Delta to determine if levee modifications at Franks Tract would reduce ocean salinity concentrations in twater exported from the Delta. Currently, tidal flows trap high saline water in the track. By constructing levee breach openings and flow control structures, it is ' believed saline intrusion can be reduced. This would significantly reduce total dissolved solids and bromide concentrations in water from the Delta. • Source Water Protection—In 2001, Metropolitan completed a Watershed Sanitary Survey as required by DHS to examine possible sources of drinking water contamination and identify mitigation measures that can be taken to protect the ' water at the source. DHS requires the survey to be completed every five years. Metropolitan also completed a Source Water Assessment (December 2002) to evaluate the vulnerability of water sources to contamination. Water from the Colorado River is considered to be most vulnerable to contamination by recreation, urban/storm water runoff, increasing urbanization in the watershed, wastewater and past industrial practices. Water supplies from SWP are most vulnerable to urban/storm-water runoff, wildlife, agriculture, recreation, and ' wastewater.16 la Arizona Department of Health Services,Topock Groundwater Study Evaluation of Chromium in Groundwater Wells, September 7,2005. 5 The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,2005 ' 6 The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,2005 .............._._._.......__....._..........................................._....___......................................_...—..............._....._.....---........................................................................................._................._..............................__................................................................................................... 3-5 Final Draft 111 1105 City of Huntington gto ch ' Section 3 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update GROUNDWATER OCWD manages the City's groundwater basin and conducts a comprehensive water , quality monitoring program. OCWD collects over 13,500 groundwater samples each ' year from over 800 wells. The water quality data collected from these wells is used to assess ambient conditions of the basin, monitor the effects of extraction, monitor the effectiveness of the seawater intrusion barriers, evaluate impacts from historic and ' current land use, address poor water quality areas, and also provide early warning of emerging contaminants of concern.17 OCWD's water quality monitoring programs are broadly classified into three categories; ' (1) regulatory or compliance with permits, environmental and groundwater drinking water regulations, (2) committed OCWD and research projects, and (3) basin ' management, i.e., or evaluating and protecting basin water quality. OCWD is compliant with groundwater drinking water regulations and operates under a Department of Health ' Services' approved monitoring program that includes monitoring all drinking water wells within the OCWD, including the City's wells. Wells are sampled for regulated and unregulated chemicals at a required monitoring frequency. ' OCWD operates an extensive groundwater quality management program that allows i OCWD to address current issues and develop strategies to anticipated and resolve future issues. OCWD's 2004 Groundwater Management Plan has a section devoted solely to groundwater quality management. The groundwater quality issues facing OCWD and the ' City and the programs implemented to address those issues are summarized in the following sections. Nitrates The Orange County groundwater basin has a number of constituents that are water ' quality concerns. The early agricultural practices with OCWD contributed to the high concentrations of nitrates in the shallow groundwater. Although nitrates are present throughout the basin, only a small number of areas exceed the MCL. Nitrate management goals include remediating groundwater contaminated by nitrate, attaining the Regional Water Quality Control Board's groundwater subbasin nitrate-nitrogen water quality , objective of 3 mg/L (the MCL is 10 mg/L), and increasing the frequency of monitoring to quarterly for those wells having concentrations of nitrate above 50 percent of the MCL. ' The two nitrate removal projects within Orange County include the Garden Grove Nitrate Removal Project and the Tustin Main Street Treatment Plant. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) ' Another water quality concern is total dissolved solids (TDS). OCWD has been proactive ' to combat the increase in salinity within the basin; however, many wells within OCWD, with the exception of any in the City of Huntington Beach, exceed the RWQCB's water quality objective of 500 mg/L. TDS concentrations range from 223 to over 600 mg/L and ' 17 Orange County Water District,Groundwater Management Plan,March 2004. , ..............._._..................................._......---...................................__........................................._.._........._.._.............................................__...__..................................._..........................................................._.........._...._..................... _..__. Final Draft 1111105 3- , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update Section averages 461 mg/L within the basin.18 The average TDS concentration of untreated ' groundwater pumped from the City is 336 mg/L. The TDS levels within the recharge waters are higher than the average TDS concentrations within the groundwaters, as a result the TDS concentration within the groundwater continues to rise. In response to the rising TDS concentrations, OCWD has implemented groundwater desalter projects (the Irvine Desalter and the Tustin Seventeenth Street Desalter), has expanded barrier injection facilities, cooperates with upper Santa Ana watershed stakeholders to control TDS at the source, supports ' Metropolitan's efforts to import high quality water, maintains an aggressive monitoring program, and proposes the Groundwater Replenishment System.19 One of the major challenges for OCWD is the contamination of fresh groundwater by saltwater intrusion and therefore OCWD has implemented two seawater intrusion ' barriers: the Talbert Barrier and the Alamitos Barrier. The coastal seawater monitoring program focuses on the effectiveness of the barriers and the following parameters are monitored: water level elevations, chloride, TDS, electrical conductivity, and bromide. Each of these parameters aid OCWD to track the extent and movement of saline waters throughout the basin. 1 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) OCWD has an aggressive VOC monitoring program. Because of the monitoring program, 'VOCs have been detected in a number of wells within OCWD. Several drinking g water wells have been taken out of service, although not within the City. OCWD implemented the Irvine Desalter Project to address the VOC's and high TDS concentrations in the groundwater basin near Irvine. OCWD is also proposing the Forebay VOC Cleanup project to prevent further spread of groundwater contaminated with VOC's. The other VOC removal project is a well within the City of Santa Ana that treats water for irrigation at the River View Golf Course. ' Methyl Tertia -Bu 1 Ether MTBE Y rY tY (MTBE) Drinking water wells within OCWD are tested for methyl tertiary-butyl ether, more commonly known as MTBE, at least annually and in some cases quarterly. OCWD aggressively monitors for MTBE to detect a problem before it reaches a drinking water well.20 The health effects of MTBE are uncertain. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency currently classifies MTBE as a possible human carcinogen. ' Unfortunately there are hundreds of identified sites with leaky underground storage tanks throughout Orange County. The majority of these sites do not have a groundwater cleanup program to remove the MTBE from the shallow groundwater. In response to the MTBE contamination, OCWD filed a lawsuit in 2003 against numerous oil and ' 18 Orange County Water District,Draft 2003-2004 Engineer's Report on Groundwater Conditions,Water Supply and Basin Utilization in the Orange County Water District,February 2005.

The suit seeks funding from the responsible parties to pay for the investigation,monitoring, and removal of oxygenates from the basin.21 Two wells within OCWD, but not within the City, have been taken out of service because of MTBE contamination. Fortunately, a thick underground clay layer helps protect most of the groundwater basin from surface contamination of MTBE. N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) In the year 2000, OCWD discovered NDMA, a known carcinogen, in the injection water used to prevent seawater intrusion at the Talbert Barrier. OCWD adjusted the operation of Water Factory 21, where recycled water is treated for injection, for NDMA treatment. Ultraviolet light treatment was added to the process to reduce the occurrence of NDMA in injection waters. There is currently one NDMA removal project within OCWD. Mesa Consolidated Water District provides wellhead treatment for the removal of NDMA. The treatment process meets the current NDMA Action Level of 10 nanograms per liter and minimizes further down gradient migration of NDMA. The City's wells have been tested for NDMA and have not exceeded the action level. Emerging Contaminants Pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and endocrine disruptors are considered emerging environmental contaminants. There are water quality concerns associated with these emerging contaminants because of their wide spread use among the population and their impact on human health because of exposure to low doses over long periods of time. OCWD is aware of these contaminants and is working with DHS to track and report their concentrations in the groundwater. Colored Groundwater Colored groundwater is encountered over a broad region of Orange County and is estimated to total over 1 million acre-feet. The area identified as the "colored water" area includes the southern part the basin near the coastal area. The colored water is located at depths deeper than the clear zone and if a deep well can be constructed, a new source of water may be available. The OCWD 2004 Groundwater Management Plan reports nine wells have been drilled in the colored zone, including the City's Well No. 8. However, this well is inactive at this time and will be used to irrigate Central Park in 2006. These wells aid in reducing the groundwater level of the colored aquifer and thus minimize the potential for upward vertical migration of colored water into the clear zones. Water Quality Programs OCWD supports and is involved in many programs that address water quality concerns of the groundwater basin. Some of the programs and activities include: 21 Orange County Water District,Groundwater Management Plan,March 2004 ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ...................................................................................... ...................... Final Draft 11121105 3-8 City of Huntington n t 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 3 • Source Water Protection— Similar to Metropolitan, OCWD has completed a drinking water source assessment for the existing drinking supply wells. The source water assessment develops management strategies to prevent or reduce the risks to ' groundwater from pollution such as: 1) delineates the time-of-travel aquifer capture zone of the source and identifies land area to be protected ' 2) identifies and locates potential sources of contamination to the well 3) manage land use and planning for future development 4) requires development to comply with the County's Municipal Stormwater Water Quality Management Plan to protect groundwater replenishment water ' • Surface Water Monitoring — OCWD also conducts routine monitoring of the Santa Ana River and other surface waterways in the upper watershed. OCWD is conducting the Santa Ana River Water Quality and Health Study to verify the sustainability of continued use of river water for recharge and its impact on groundwater quality. • Constructed Wetlands — OCWD operates the Prado Basin Wetland in cooperation with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to reduce the nitrogen concentration of river water. The constructed wetlands comprise of 465 acres. • Public Outreach — OCWD has implemented a public education outreach program called the Groundwater Guardian Team to inform the public about the benefits of protecting the groundwater basin. • Regulation — In May of 1987, OCWD adopted a Groundwater Quality Protection � Y p Q Y Policy. The policy established the following objectives: 1) Maintain a suitable groundwater supply for all existing and potential beneficial uses 2) Prevent degradation of the quality of the groundwater supply 3) Assist responsible regulatory agencies in identifying sources of pollution to assure cleanup by the responsible party(s) 4) Maintain or increase the basin's usable storage capacity 5) Inform the general public of water quality problems as they are encountered as well as the overall condition of the groundwater supply, through appropriate regulatory agencies and producers ' 3.2 WATER QUALITY EFFECT ON WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND SUPPLY RELIABILITY The previous section summarized the general water quality issues of Metropolitan's imported water and OCWD's groundwater supplies. The same water quality concerns apply to the City's water. Similar to Metropolitan and OCWD, the City prepared an assessment of the City's drinking water in December 2002.

' In April of 2004 the City delivered highly fluoridated water that exceeded the MCL. p � Y g Y The MCL for fluoride is 2 mg/L. The City estimates that over a period of 24 hours, , residential and commercial customers were served with water with fluoride levels up to 33 mg/L. The City isolated the affected area and notified DHS as well as the Orange ' County Health Care Agency. The City flushed the water system and notification letters were delivered to impacted customers. , Except for the occurrence of fluoride, the City has not experienced any significant water quality problems in the past and does not anticipate any significant changes in the future. , In the near future, EPA's Stage 2 regulation of the disinfection byproducts rule will be in effect. Stage 1 was implemented in 2002 and lowered the total THM maximum annual , average concentration level in water supplies; stage 2 will further lower the THM concentration level. The City's water supplies meet the requirements of Stage 1 and will be required to meet Stage 2 levels when they become finalized. , The City does not anticipate any changes in its available water supplies due to water quality issues in part because of the mitigation actions undertaken by Metropolitan and OCWD as described earlier. 1 1 City of Huntington Beach,2005 Water Quality Report. ort. ---..............................................._....................._-.....--._.._...._...................._._.................-_..._......._.....................__........................._.__......_._.._...__.........._......_................----........._._..................._...-.............__._.......................__.............

The region faces a growing gap between its water requirements and its firm water supplies. Increased environmental regulations and the collaborative competition for water from outside the region have resulted in reduced supplies of imported water. Continued population and economic growth in Orange County will increase water demand within the region and put an even larger burden on local supplies The City receives approximately 64 percent of its water supply from local groundwater, managed by the OCWD, and 36 percent from import water through MWDOC. MWDOC and OCWD are implementing water supply alternative strategies for the region and on behalf of their member agencies to ensure available water in the future. Strategies are identified in the MWDOC 2005 Regional UWMP, the OCWD Long Term Facilities Plan (Draft October 2005), and the OCWD 2004 Groundwater Management Plan. The optimum water supply strategy should attempt to meet the following objectives: • Ensure that the groundwater basin is protected • Ensure available water for Orange County residents and businesses in the future • Minimize the consumers water supply cost • Use a variety of sources • Reverse the adverse salt balance in the groundwater basin • Provide flexibility to allow both MWDOC and OCWD to quickly take advantage of changing and new markets if and when they develop The reliability of the City's water supply is currently dependent on the reliability of both groundwater and imported water supplies, which are managed and delivered by OCWD and Metropolitan, respectively. The following sections will discuss these agencies, and others throughout the region, their roles in water supply reliability, and the near and long- term efforts they are involved with to ensure future reliability of water supplies to the City and the region as a whole. 4.1.1 Regional Agencies and Water Reliability Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) Metropolitan's primary goal is to provide reliable water supplies to meet the water needs of its service area at the lowest possible cost. The reliability of Metropolitan's water supply has been threatened as existing imported water supplies from the Colorado River and SWP face increasing challenges. Despite these challenges, Metropolitan continues to develop and encourage projects and programs to ensure reliability now and into the .-._._.............................._..__.-..........................................-----._....................................................._............................................._...__........................._................_......................................................_.._.._.__.........._.._._......_.. -..........------............

One such project is Metropolitan's recently completed Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet, California, an 800,000 AF capacity reservoir for regional seasonal and emergency , storage for S WP and Colorado River water. The reservoir began storing water in November 1999 and reached the sustained water level by early 2002.23 Colorado River Aqueduct(CR,4) Pursuant to the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decree, Metropolitan's dependable supply of , Colorado River water was limited to 550,000 acre-feet per year assuming no surplus or unused Arizona and Nevada entitlement was available and California agricultural agencies use all of their contractual entitlement. Historically, Metropolitan has also , possessed a priority for an additional 662,000 AFY depending upon availability of surplus water. In addition, Metropolitan maintains agreements for storage, exchanges and , transfers within the service area of Imperial Irrigation District that provide water to Metropolitan.24 , Water supplies from the Colorado River have been and continue to be a topic of negotiation and intense debate. The 1964 Court Decree required the state of California to , limit its annual use to 4.4 million acre-feet (MAF) basic annual apportionment of Colorado River water plus any available surplus. To keep California at 4.4 MAF, Metropolitan reduced its level of diversions in years when no surplus is available. , In 1999, the Colorado River Board developed "California's Colorado River Water Use , Plan," also known as the "California Plan" and the 4.4 Plan", which was endorsed by all seven Colorado River Basin states and the U.S. Department of the Interior. This plan developed the framework that specifies how California will transition and live within its ■ basic apportionment of 4.4 MAF of Colorado River water. ■ The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation implemented Interim Surplus Guidelines to assist , California's transition to the Plan. Seven priorities for use of the waters of the Colorado River within the State of California were established. Metropolitan would only be able to ' exercise its fourth priority right to 550,000 AF annually, instead of the maximum aqueduct capacity of 1.3 MAF. Priorities 1 through 3 cannot exceed 3.85 MAF annually. Together, Priorities 1 through 4 total California's 4.4 MAF apportionment. , In October 2003, the Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA), a critical component of the California's Colorado River Water Use Plan and for purposes of Section 5(B) of , the Interim Surplus Guidelines, was authorized defining Colorado River water deliveries, delivery of Priority 3(a) and 6(a) Colorado River water, and transfer and other water , delivery commitments, thus facilitating the transfer of water from agricultural agencies to urban uses. The QSA is a landmark agreement, signed by the four California Colorado River water use agencies and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, which will guide , reasonable and fair use of the Colorado River by California through the year 2037. 23 The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,2005 24 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.Integrated Water Resources Plan.2003 Update.May 2004. , ..........--..............................-...............-_...........................-............._.......................-._.....................................................................--......_.........................................................--......................................................................_.._.____----- ---- ........._ Final Draft 11121105 4-2 , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section I Metropolitan's Integrated Water Resources Plan 2003 Update, recognizes that the QSA supports Metropolitan's development plans for CRA deliveries, and demonstrates the reliability benefits as a result of the QSA and existing supply enhancement programs. i State Water Project(SWP) The reliability of the SWP impacts Metropolitan's member agencies' ability to plan for future growth and supply. DWR's Bulletin 132-03, December 2004, provides certain SWP reliability information, and in 2002, the DWR Bay-Delta Office prepared a report specifically addressing the reliability of the SWP.25 This report, The State Water Project Delivery Reliability Report, provides information on the reliability of the SWP to deliver water to its contractors assuming historical precipitation patterns. The following SWP reliability information is included in these reports. On an annual basis, each of the 29 SWP contractors including Metropolitan request an amount of SWP water based on their anticipated yearly demand. In most cases, Metropolitan's requested supply is equivalent its full Table A Amount; currently at 1,911,500 AFY. After receiving the requests, DWR assesses the amount of water supply available based on precipitation, snow pack on northern California watersheds, volume of water in storage, projected carry over storage, and Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta regulatory requirements. For example, the SWP annual delivery of water to contractors has ranged from 552,600 AFY in 1991 to 3.5 MAF in 2000. Due to the uncertainty in water supply, contractors are not typically guaranteed their full Table A Amount, but instead a percentage of that amount based on the available supply. Typically, around December of each year, DWR provides the contractors with their first estimate of allocation for the following year. Due to the variability in water supply for any given year, it is important to understand the reliability of the SWP to supply a specific amount of water each year to the contractors. As hydrologic and water conditions develop throughout the year, DWR revises the allocations. On January 1, 2005, SWP supplies are projected to meet 60 percent of most SWP contractor's Table A Amounts. This allocation was increased to 70 percent on April 1, 2005. However, the allocation was again revised with the May 25, 2005 Notice to State Water Project Contractors. The Notice informed that DWR is preparing an update to the SWP Reliability Report issued in 2003, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2005. In order to assist agencies to prepare their 2005 UWMP Updates, DWR provided relevant sections from the working draft of the 2005 Reliability Report and recommended the results of studies 6 and 7 since they contain the most current information for assumed demands. The results of studies 6 and 7 show average deliveries of 69 percent of full Table A under current conditions and 77 percent under future conditions. The more recent studies also show a minimum delivery of 4 and 5 percent, current and future years respectively, compared to 20 percent for the 2003 report. These amounts are shown in zs Department of Water Resources,State Water Project Delivery Reliability Report.2002. ....................................................................................................._.._._..__...........___—_.....---......................._....---..........._........__. ............................................................................................ . _...._.__....- 4- Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach Section 4 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Table 4.1.1-1 on the following page compared to the earlier CALSIM modeling as discussed below. DWR analyzed the SWP's reliability using the California Water Allocation and Reservoir Operations Model (CALSIM 11 model) in their Reliability Report. The CALSIM 11 model was developed by DWR and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) to simulate operations of the SWP and the Central Valley Project (CVP). The CALSIM 11 model is used to estimate water deliveries to both SWP and CVP users under various assumptions such as hydrologic conditions, land use, regulations, and facility configurations. Documentation for CALSIM 11, including assumptions, can be found on the DWR Web site at http://modeling.water.ca.gov. One of the key assumptions of the CALSIM II model is that past weather patterns will repeat themselves in the future. The model uses a monthly time step to calculate available water supply based on historical rainfall data from 73 years of records (1922— 1994). The model scenarios used in the preparation of the Reliability Report also assumed that regulatory requirements and facilities would not change in the future. DWR considered this assumption conservative since additional facilities such as reservoirs may be implemented in the future to specifically increase the SWP's reliability. The CALSIM 11 model was used to complete three benchmark studies dated May 17, 2002 for the Reliability Report. The benchmark studies evaluated the water supply and demand at the 2001 condition and at the 2021 condition. In 2001, SWP water demand was estimated to vary from 3.0 to 4.1 MAF per year depending on the weather conditions (wet or dry years). SWP water demands in 2021 were estimated to range from 3.3 to 4.1 MAF per year. DWR prepared two benchmark studies for the 2021 condition. The first study assumed that SWP water demands would depend on weather conditions, whereas the second study assumed the contractor's water demand would be their maximum Table A Amount; 4.1 MAF per year regardless of weather. Table 4.1-1 shows the results, which demonstrate that SWP deliveries, on average, can meet 75 percent of the maximum Table A Amount. The Monterey Agreement states that contractors will be allocated part of the total available project supply in proportion to their Table A Amount. The Monterey Agreement changed SWP water allocation rules by specifying that, during drought years, project supplies be allocated proportionately based on the maximum contractual Table A Amount. Water is allocated to urban and agricultural purposes on a proportional basis, deleting a previous initial supply reduction to agricultural contractors. The agreement further defines and permits permanent sales of SWP Table A Amounts and provides for transfer of up to 130,000 AF of annual Table A Amounts from agricultural use to municipal use. The Agreement also allows SWP contractors to store water in another agency's reservoir or groundwater basin, facilitates the implementation of water transfers and provides a mechanism for using SWP facilities to transport non-project water for SWP water contractors. The Agreement provides greater flexibility for SWP contractors to use their share of storage in SWP reservoirs. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... .................................. ..............................

Report on Metropolitan's Water Supplies:Blueprint for Water Reliability Metropolitan released a Report on Metropolitan's Water Supplies, A Blueprint for Water Reliability on March 25, 2003, to provide updated information on Metropolitan's projected supply and demand for incorporation into Water Verification and Water Supply Assessments for compliance with SB 221 and SB 610, respectively. These bills implement requirements to connect land use to a sufficient water supply before a development can be approved. The Metropolitan report addresses water supply reliability issues and states Metropolitan's roles and responsibilities, which include the following: (1) implementing water management programs that support the development of cost- effective local resources; (2) securing additional imported supplies as necessary through programs that increase the availability of water delivered through the Colorado River Aqueduct and the SWP; (3) providing the infrastructure needed to integrate imported and local sources; (4) establishing a comprehensive management plan dealing with periodic surplus and shortage conditions; and (5) developing a rate structure that strengthens Metropolitan's financial capabilities to implement water supply programs and make infrastructure improvements. The report details that Metropolitan's regional water demand projections are 6 percent to 16 percent higher, depending on which 5-year projection period and 11 percent for Year 2025, than the aggregated projections of Metropolitan's member agencies. As stated in the Report, "this difference indicated that Metropolitan supplies would provide a level of ........................._..__.................................................................................................................._.._.._._......................._......__.....__._...._........................................_....._.............._............................................................................................................._................................. 4-5 Final Draft 111 110 City of Huntington Beach , Section 4 2005 1rban Water Management Flan Update `margin of safety' or flexibility to accommodate delays in local resources development or adjustments in development plans."26 Additionally, the report concludes that "current , practices allow Metropolitan to bring water supplies on-line at least ten years in advance of demand with a very high degree of reliability." More particularly, Metropolitan documented sufficient currently available supplies to meet 100 percent of member agencies' supplemental water demands for 20 years under Average and Wet Year conditions, for 15 years under Multiple Dry Year conditions (with 8 to 26 percent reserve capacity), and for 15 years under Single Dry Year conditions (with 8-25 percent reserve capacity). With the addition of supplies under development, Metropolitan will be able to meet 100 percent of its agencies' supplemental water needs under all supply and demand , conditions through 2030 with 20-25 percent reserve capacity.27 The Report also identifies the ways Metropolitan is managing changes in Southern , California's water supplies, including reduced Colorado River deliveries and water quality constraints. In addition, opportunities for additional supplies are currently being , implemented in the following ways: 1) Full Diamond Valley Lake: The Lake is now fully operational with an increased conveyance capacity for refill system storage. 2) Re-Operation of Storage and Transfer Programs: In 2003, Metropolitan developed additional storage and transfer capabilities and completed filling , local resources to achieve full storage accounts in operational reservoirs and banking/transfer programs. , 3) Enhanced Conservation Programs: A new campaign is designed to encourage more efficient outdoor water use and promote innovative conservation measures. , 4) Development of Additional Local Resources: There are promising opportunities identified to develop seawater desalination and expand the Local ' Resources Program. In addition to the Report on Metropolitan's Water Supplies, A Blueprint for Water Reliability, MWD's September 2005 Draft Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP) demand and supply analysis also projects surpluses (of regional supplies , compared with regional demands) ranging from 5 percent to 35 percent in all years and all drought scenarios through 2030.21 As demand forecasts are refined, supply goals are also refined. Metropolitan has consistently supplied over 50 percent of water supplies to the Southern California region. , To continue to accomplish this, Metropolitan continues to approve new and innovative projects and programs to ensure reliability. For example, in August 2001, Metropolitan took action to move forward initiatives to bolster future supplies by supporting seawater , 26 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Some of these projects are further described in Section 4.4. Integrated Water Resources Plan (IRP) To address Metropolitan's reliability challenges, Metropolitan and its member agencies developed an Integrated Water Resources Plan (IRP) in 1996. The overall objective of the IRP process is the selection and implementation of a Preferred Resource Mix (or strategy) consisting of complementary investments in local water resources, imported I supplies and demand-side management that meet the region's desired reliability goal in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner. The 1996 IRP was reviewed as part of Metropolitan's strategic plan and rate refinement to guide the development and implementation of revised Metropolitan water management programs through the year 2005. The IRP 2003 Update was approved and released July 13, 2004, and includes various projects and programs that contribute to the reliability of Metropolitan's imported water supplies. The IRP Update concluded that the resource targets from the 1996 IRP, factored in with changed conditions, will continue to provide for 100 percent reliability through 2025. While the IRP 2003 Update includes goals for a variety of resource targets, it identified the most significant programs as conservation and local supply development among the Preferred Resource Mix. The IRP details the Local Resources Program (LRP) and the Seawater Desalination Program as a means to increase reliability of local supplies. Metropolitan initiated the LRP to promote the development of water recycling projects that reduced demand for imported water and improved regional water supply reliability in 1982. In 1991, the Groundwater Recovery Program was implemented to similarly promote the recovery of local degraded groundwater supplies. In 1995, both programs were combined into the LRP. Currently, the LRP, including both recycling and groundwater recovery, has invested over $121 million and partnered with member agencies on 53 recycled water projects and 22 groundwater recovery projects generating 251,000 acre feet of local supply in 2002.29 The IRP 2003 Update states that Metropolitan's regional production target is 500,000 AF by 2020 for its LRP. Metropolitan's current projection of regional implementation of recycling, groundwater recovery, and seawater desalination resource targets exceeds the 1996 IRP goals. Although in FY 2002, recycling and groundwater recovery programs narrowly missed their target, the region is expected to meet its 2010 and 2020 targets. Meeting the targets will require the region to produce 159,000 AF of additional local project and/or seawater desalination supply by 2010 and 249,000 AF by 2020.

' Metropolitan continues to encourage development of local water resource projects through offering financial incentives through the LRP to its member agencies. These t anticipated water supply benefits are incorporated into the forecasts of demand on Metropolitan. , In addition to the LRP, Metropolitan also provides financial and technical assistance for implementing water conservation Best Management Practices, as well as a significant , investment in regional and local water conservation programs. Metropolitan was also responsible for distributing $45 million in funds from Proposition 13 funding for ' development of conjunctive management programs in Southern California. Municipal Water District of Orange County(MWDOC) MWDOC represents its members at a regional, state and federal level, and advocates for the development and protection of imported water supplies and planning along with coordinating the water needs for its service area.30 MWDOC's water management goals and objectives include working together with Orange County water agencies, including the City, to focus on solutions and priorities for improving Orange County's future water supply reliability. MWDOC's engineering and planning staffs also represent its member agencies' interests , in such water planning efforts as Metropolitan's IRP and Water Surplus and Drought , Management (WSDM) Plan, the focus on Orange County's water future effort, and the Orange County Water Plan. Through these efforts, the goal is to improve water planning in Orange County to ensure a high degree of reliability and quality in future , water supplies.31 Efforts of MWDOC to maintain a reliable water supply include a commitment to the ' intensive and cost-effective development of Orange County's water resources. Development of local water supplies will lessen Orange County's dependence on , imported water. Therefore, in order to maintain a more reliable water supply, a number of projects including storage, recycling, conjunctive use with groundwater basins, ocean desalination and new groundwater development will contribute to enhanced water reliability. Programs and projects directly managed by MWDOC include exchanges and transfers, , participation with the Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as extensive conservation and educational programs available to its member agencies.

Integrated Regional Water Management Plan MWDOC has been working with the County of Orange, as the lead agency, and 24 other cities and special districts to develop and integrate regional strategies for water ' management within the region. In an effort to manage local and imported water supplies, projects have been identified that protect communities from drought, enhance water supply reliability, ensure continued water security, optimize watershed and coastal resources, improve water quality, and protect habitat. To date, nearly 100 projects have been identified and the responsibility of implementing the projects has been granted to the South Orange County Integrated Regional Water management(IRWM) Group. South Orange County Water Reliability Study To ensure continued water reliability for south Orange County, 11 Orange County agencies, Metropolitan, and the USBR joined together to fund the South Orange County Water Reliability Study(SOCWRS). MWDOC served as the lead agency in this effort. The SOCWRS provides an objective plan that addresses the pressing need to ensure water supply in the event of future water supply outages and/or emergencies. Although the study is focused on south Orange County, implementing measures recommended in the study will provide regional benefits for all of Orange County's water supply, and thus benefit the City. ' The purpose of the SOCWRS was to do the following:33 1. Identify risks, including earthquakes that pose the greatest threat to the regional water treatment and distribution infrastructure. 2. Identify ways to bolster source-of-supply and regional distribution systems, building on earlier engineering investigations and studies. 3. Develop a list of projects that accomplish the above objectives, and identify ' appropriate investments. 4. Allow for flexibility in phasing. Most notably project operational dates and sizing should be flexible to account for changes in local resources development. 5. The plan builds on a number of prior studies, including: SOCWRS Phase 1,which served as the foundation for this effort; Metropolitan's Central Pool Augmentation Project, currently in project right-of-way refinement; Santa Margarita Water District's Lined and Covered Reservoir investigations to increase local storage for emergency need; Irvine Ranch Water District's Water Resources Master Plan Update and Planning Area-6 Sub-Area Master Plan; and various Orange County Water District plans and groundwater basin operations studies. 32 MWDOC.

As stated above, the RWQCB has been working with SAWPA concerning water supply and reliability issues. SAWPA has been studying TIN and TDS issues and is a valuable partner in water resource and water quality management. SAWPA, and its member agencies, conduct water related investigations and planning studies, and build , physical facilities where needed for water supply, wastewater treatment or water quality remediation. Other studies and projects ongoing and planned that will affect reliability and quality of water supplies to the Region, including areas affecting water supplies in ' the Orange County Basin, are discussed further in following sections of this Assessment. Some of these activities bear directly on the implementation of the Basin Plan, while others may lead to future Basin Plan amendments to incorporate appropriate changes, such as revised regulatory strategies for various dischargers. These investigations and the implementation of appropriate physical solutions are an essential and integral part of the effort to restore and maintain water quality in the Region. , 4.2 DEMAND AND SUPPLIES RELIABILITY COMPARISON , Metropolitan Water District Supplies and Demands As previously discussed, the City is a member agency of the MWDOC, which is a ' member agency of Metropolitan. In its September 2005 Draft Regional UWMP, Metropolitan has chosen the year 1977 as the single driest year since 1922 and the years , 1990-1992 as the multiple driest years over that same period. These years have been chosen because they represent the timing of the least amount of available water resources ' from the SWP, a major source of Metropolitan's supply. Over the 20 year period beginning in 2010 and ending in 2030, Metropolitan projects a , 0.5 percent decrease in available supply during an average year, a 4.5 percent increase during a single dry year, and a 3.8 percent increase during the third year of the multiple dry year period. The increased available supplies during drought year scenarios are primarily due to increased contract allotments of in-basin storage as well as a number of supplies under development. , In its Draft UWMP, Metropolitan also projects an increase in member agency demands. Specifically, they project a 10.2 percent increase over the same 20-year period in the 42 Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.Watershed Management Initiative.Revised May 2004. , ....................................._.........................................__....................._..........__...._......................__..._._.__............................................_......_._.._....................._.._.............._.._..............................._.__............_....................................................._.........----............................ Final Draft 11121105 4-14 , City of Huntington Beach 2005 urban Water Management Flan Update Section average demand, an 8.5 percent increase during the single dry year scenario, and an 8.9 percent increase during the multiple dry year scenario. However, in all cases, the projected regional increase in demands by member agencies are offset by available surpluses in the Metropolitan supply. Table 4.2-1 summarizes Metropolitan's current imported supply availability projections for average and single dry years over the 20-year period beginning in 2010 and ending in 2030. Based on these projections, Metropolitan will be able to meet all of its projected single dry year service area demands through the year 2030. Table 4.2-2 summarizes Metropolitan's current imported supply availability projections over the 20-year period beginning in 2010 and ending in 2030 for average and multiple dry year scenarios. When reviewing Table 4.2-2, it is important to note that Metropolitan is projecting a surplus of supply for all multiple dry year scenarios through 2030. IThe findings in this plan were derived based upon Metropolitan's September 2005 Draft Regional UWMP. These figures can be interpolated to project Metropolitan's ability to meet a specified demand expressed in terms of a percentage of average demand and supply availability. When viewed on a regional basis, some member agency demands will exceed these averages, while others will fall below the stated averages. However, when viewed from the regional perspective, it is reasonable to assume that these averages will apply to all local water purveyors. Although a less conservative assumption might suggest surplus water supplies not used by agencies experiencing low or no growth may be freed up for use by those water purveyors experiencing more growth, this is not borne out by the overall Metropolitan supply and demand picture. In fact, Metropolitan is projecting a 19.4 percent increase in total demand (including local supplies) over its entire service area between 2005 and 2030 (4,115,700 AFY to 4,914,000 AFY)43 compared with a 20.9 percent increase in population over the same period of (18,233,700 to 22,053,200)44 In other words, iMetropolitan's projected increase in demand roughly parallels its projected increase in population.

Section 4 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update In addition to Metropolitan's Regional UWMP, MWDOC has also prepared a draft 2005 UWMP for the Orange County region and has also held a series of workshops for its ! member agencies including direct Metropolitan member agencies in Orange County. MWDOC is also looking at the 1922 though 2004 period and has adopted the same ! average year scenario as Metropolitan; however, they differ in the selection of a single dry year and the multiple dry year scenario. MWDOC has chosen to determine these years based on hydrologic records for Orange County rather than on the State Water ! Project availability. That methodology has resulted in the selection of 1961 as the single dries year n record t o o and the ears 1959 through 1961 as the multiple ears. Y Y g p dry Y In viewing its entire service area, MWDOC projects single dry year demands that are 1 105.5 percent of normal and three multiple dry years demands that are 106.7, 103.7 and ! 105.5 percent of normal. These same factors are representative of all of Orange County and will be applied to project the City's demands in single and multiple dry years. Tables 4.2-3 through 4.2-9 compare current and projected water supplies and demands in 1 normal, single dry year and multiple dry year scenarios. The results displayed in these tables indicate that Metropolitan can meet all of the City's demands in average, single ! dry, and multiple dry years through 2030. ! 1 ! ! 1 -........................_-----_..................-_..---.-.............................--..............................................._______._......................- ------.....................................-.....__._.._........_...................................................__....................... 1 Final Draft 11121105 4-1 1 City of Huntington Beach 2005 urban Water Management Plan Update Section Table 4.2-3 ' City of Huntington Beach Projected Water Supply and Demand Normal Water Year (AFY-All projections rounded to nearest ten AF) ' Water Sources 2410 2015:: 2020 2t1f26 g2030 Supply Normal Water Years Projected Supply During an Average Year as a % of Demand During an 130.8 126.6 133.4 125.5 118.0 Average Yearl'l ImportedE21 13,620 13,320 14,170 13,470 12,780 Local (Groundwater)[31 24,300 24,540 24,790 25,040 25,260 Total Supply 37,920 37,860 38,960 38,510 38,040 % of Normal Year141 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 Demand Imported[21 10,410 10,520 10,620 10,730 10,830 ' Local (Groundwater)131 24,300 24,540 24,790 25,040 25,260 Total DemandE51 34,710 35,060 35,410 35,770 36,090 % of Year 2005 Demand (33,941 AF) 102.3 103.3 104.3 105.4 106.3 Supply/ Demand Difference 3,210 2,800 3,650 2,740 1,950 Difference as % of Supply 8.5 7.4 9.1 1 7.1 5.1 ' Difference as % of Demand 9.2 8.01 10.0 7.7 5.4 From Table 4.2-1, Row I ' [zl Imported water supply= (imported water demand)x(MWD Projected Supply Available During an Average Year as a %of Demand During an Average Year(from Table 4.2-1, Row 1);

The general region lies in i the semi-permanent high-pressure zone of the eastern Pacific. As a result, the climate is mild, tempered by cool sea breezes. The usually mild climatological pattern is interrupted i infrequently by periods of extremely hot weather, winter storms, or Santa Ana winds. The average annual temperature is 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation is typically 10-12 inches, occurring mostly between November and April. i Climatological data in California has been recorded since the year 1858. During the twentieth century, California has experienced three periods of severe drought: 1928-34, , 1976-77 and 1987-91. The year 1977 is considered to be the driest year of record in the Four Rivers Basin by DWR. These rivers flow into the San Francisco Bay Delta and are , the source of water for the State Water Project. Southern California and, in particular, Orange County sustained few adverse impacts , from the 1976-77 drought, due in large part to the availability of Colorado River water and groundwater stored in the Santa Ana Basin. But the 1987-91 drought created i considerably more concern for Southern California and Orange County. As a result, the City is vulnerable to water shortages due to its climatic environment and i seasonally hot summer months. While the data shown in Tables 4.2.1.4 through 4.2.1-8 identifies water availability during single and multiple dry year scenarios, response to a future drought would follow the water use efficiency mandates of MWDOC and its i support of the Metropolitan Water Surplus and Drought Management (WSDM) Plan, along with implementation of the appropriate stage of the City's Water Conservation , Program. These programs are more specifically discussed in Section 7. 4.4 PLANNED WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS TO MEET i PROJECTED WATER USE 4.4.1 City of Huntington Beach Projects i The City continually reviews practices that will provide its customers with adequate and i reliable supplies. Trained staff continues to ensure the water quality is safe and the water supply will meet present and future needs in an environmentally and economically responsible manner. The City consistently coordinates its long-term water shortage i planning with MWDOC and OCWD, which is further described in the MWDOC 2005 Regional UWMP and OCWD's LTFP. The City projects water demand in the City could remain relatively constant over the next 20 years due to minimal growth combined with water use efficiency measures.

The projects that have been identified by the City to improve the City's water supply reliability and enhance the operations of the City's facilities include replacement of water meters, fire hydrants, valves, and pipelines; security improvements; and improvement projects on water supply wells. The improvement projects identified for production purposes include the following: • Well 1 — Scheduled to be redrilled with a capacity of 750 gpm sometime in the future. The existing well has a capacity of 500 gpm. • Well 8 —Will be removed from stand-by mode and be used to irrigate Central Park. • Well 12 — Has been drilled and is expected to yield 3,000 gpm in November 2005. Although Wells 1, 8, and 12 will provide additional capacity to the City, the City is still regulated by the BPP and, therefore, pumping above the BPP is not expected. l 4.4.2 Regional Agency Projects Since the City purchases imported water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River through Metropolitan's member agency MWDOC,the projects implemented by Metropolitan and MWDOC to secure their water supplies have an indirect effect on the City. In addition, OCWD's planned projects and programs for groundwater and recycled water will also impact the City. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) ! Metropolitan is implementing water supply alternative strategies for the region and on behalf of their member agencies to insure available water in the future. Some of the strategies identified in Metropolitan's 2005 UWMP include: • Conservation • Water recycling and groundwater recovery • Storage and groundwater management programs within the Southern California region • Storage programs related to the State Water Project and the Colorado River • Other water supply management programs outside of the region Metropolitan has made investments in conservation, water recycling, storage, and supply that are all part of Metropolitan's long-term water management strategy. Metropolitan's L approach to a long-term water management strategy was to develop an Integrated Resource Plan that depended on many sources of supply. Metropolitan's implementation approach for achieving the goals of the Integrated Resource Plan Update is summarized in Table 4.4-2. A comprehensive description of Metropolitan's implementation approach is contained in their 2003 report on Metropolitan water supplies "A Blueprint for Water ..........................._._.._._......................---_._.........................__......_............_..................................................................................................................................................._.._...................................._...................................................._._............._..................... __. 4-27 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 4 2005 Urban Dater Management Plan Update Reliability" as well as their 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan.

Recycled Water, Groundwater Recovery, and Desalination Target Metropolitan supports the use of alternative water supplies such as recycled water and tdegraded groundwater when there is a regional benefit to offset imported water supplies. Currently, 355 thousand acre-feet (TAF) of recycled water is permitted for use within Metropolitan service area.47 Metropolitan estimates that an additional 480 TAF per year of new recycled water could be developed and used by 2025 with an additional 130 TAF per year by 2050. Approximately 30 percent of the recycled water use within ■ Metropolitan's service area is for groundwater replenishment and seawater barriers. In ■ the future it is anticipated that up to 90 percent of all water used for seawater barriers will be recycled water. Metropolitan et polrtan recognizes the importance of member agencies developing local supplies and has implemented several programs to provide financial assistance. Metropolitan's incentive programs include: • Competitive Local Resources Program: Supports the development of cost- effective water recycling and groundwater recovery projects that reduce demands for imported supplies I • Seawater Desalination Program: Supports the development of seawater desalination within Metropolitan's service area • Innovative Supply Program: Encourages investigations into alternative approaches to increasing the region's water supply.

None of the projects , are within the City's service area, however two projects are proposed under MWDOC. The projects include the Groundwater Replenishment System and a recycled water , upgrade within Irvine Ranch Water District's service area. The Groundwater Replenishment System is discussed as a planned project under OCWD. Under the Innovative Supply Program, Metropolitan selected 10 projects for grant funding. , Proposals included harvesting storm runoff, onsite recycling, and desalination. The project findings will be presented to member agencies in 2006. Regional Groundwater Conjunctive Use Target Other programs within Metropolitan to maximize water supplies include storage and , groundwater management programs. The IRP Update identified the need for dry-year storage within surface water reservoirs and the need for groundwater storage. In 2002, , Diamond Valley Lake reached its full storage capacity of 800,000 AF. Approximately 400,000 AF are dedicated for dry-year storage. Metropolitan has developed a number of local programs to increase storage in the groundwater basins. The programs include: • North Las Posas — In 1995, Metropolitan and Calleguas Municipal Water District developed facilities for groundwater storage and extraction from the , North Las Posas Basin. Metropolitan has the right to store up to 210,000 AF of water. The well fields are expected to be fully operational in 2007 with Phases I and II already complete. It is expected the North Las Posas program , will yield 47,000 AF of groundwater from the basin each year. • Proposition 13 Projects — In 2000, DWR selected Metropolitan to receive , financial funding to help fund the Southern California Water Supply Reliability Projects Program. The program coordinates eight conjunctive use projects with a total storage capacity of 195 TAF and a dry-year yield of 65 TAF per year. One of the projects selected through the request for proposals for Proposition 13 funding includes the Orange County Groundwater , Conjunctive Use Program. This program was submitted by OCWD and MWDOC and is discussed in Section 4 • Raymond Basin—In January 2000, Metropolitan entered into agreements with the City of Pasadena and Foothill Municipal Water District to implement a groundwater storage program that is anticipated to yield 22 TAF per year by ' 2010. • Other Programs — Metropolitan intends to expand the conjunctive use , programs to add another 80 TAF to groundwater storage. Other basins in the area are being evaluated for possible conjunctive use projects. , State Water Project Target The major actions Metropolitan is completing to improve SWP reliability include the following: ...........................ina!Draft....�..1121I0 . .. ..............................._-- ---...........................4- 0....................................... . . . . . .. ............... , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section i • Delta Improvements Package— The actions outlined in this package are related to water project operations in the Delta. The actions are designed to allow the SWP to operate the Banks Pumping Plant in the Delta at 8,500 CFS. Currently Banks Pumping Plant operates at 6,680 CFS. Metropolitan anticipates that increase diversion from the Delta will result in an increase of 130 TAF per year will be available for groundwater and surface water storage. • Phase 8 Settlement—This agreement includes various recommended water supply projects that meet demand and water quality objectives within the Sacramento Valley. The various conjunctive use projects will yield approximately 185 TAF per year in the Sacramento Valley of which approximately 55 TAF would be available to Metropolitan through it's SWP allocation. • Monterey Amendment—The Monterey Amendment enables Metropolitan to use a portion of the San Luis Reservoir's capacity for carryover storage. This will ■ increase SWP delivery to Metropolitan by 93 to 285 TAF depending on supply ■ conditions. • SWP Terminal Storage — Metropolitan has water rights for storage at Lake Perris and Castaic Lake. The storage provides Metropolitan with options for managing SWP deliveries and store up to 73 to 219 TAF of carryover water. • Desert Water Agency/Coachella Valley Water District (DWCV) SWP Table A Transfer—This transfer to DWCV includes 100 TAF of Metropolitan SWP Table A amount in exchange for other rights such as its full carryover amounts in San Luis and full use of flexible storage in Castaic and Perris Reservoirs. It is anticipated that the call-back provision of the entitlement transfer can provide between 5 and 26 TAF of water depending on the water year. • Desert Water Agency/Coachella Valley Water District (DWCV) Advance Delivery Program — Under this program Metropolitan delivers Colorado River water to the DWCV in exchange for their SWP Contract Table A allocations. Metropolitan can expect increases in SWP Table A deliveries of 6 to 18 TAF depending on the water year. Central Valley Project Target Metropolitan also receives imported water from the Colorado River Aqueduct. Metropolitan, Imperial Irrigation District (1I1)) and Coachella Valley Water District executed the Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) in October 2003. The QSA established the baseline water use for each agency and facilitated the transfer agricultural water to urban uses. A number of programs have been identified to assist Metropolitan meet their target goal of 1.2 MAF per year from the Colorado River Aqueduct. These programs include the following: • Coachella and All-American Canal Lining Project — The Coachella Canal Lining Project is scheduled to be completed in January 2007 and is expected to conserve 26,000 AFY. The All-American Canal Lining Project is scheduled to be completed in 2008 and is expected to conserve 67,700 AFY. The conserved water Iwill be made available in Lake Havasu for diversion from Metropolitan.

Water will be conserved through land fallowing and irrigation efficiency measures. Metropolitan will supply the water , conserved to San Diego County Water Authority in exchange for a like amount out of Lake Havasu. , • Imperial Irrigation District/Metropolitan Conservation Program - The program originally provided funding from Metropolitan to implement water efficiency , improvements within IID. Metropolitan in tern would reserve the right to divert the water conserved by those investments. Execution of the QSA extended the term of the program to 2078 and guaranteed Metropolitan at least 80 TAF per year. • Palo Verde Land Management and Crop Rotation Program— This program offers financial incentives to farmers with Palo Verde Irrigation District to not irrigate a portion of their land. A maximum of 29 percent of lands within Palo Verde Irrigation District can be fallowed in any year. The water conserved will be , available to Metropolitan with a maximum of 111 TAF per year expected. • Hayfield Groundwater Storage Program — Metropolitan will divert Colorado , River water and store it in the Hayfield Groundwater Basin in east Riverside County. Currently there is 73 TAF of water in storage. Metropolitan expects the program to eventually develop a storage capacity of approximately 500 TAF. • Chuckwalla Groundwater Storage Program — Metropolitan proposes to store , water when available in the Upper Chuckwalla Groundwater Basin for future delivery to Metropolitan. • Lower Coachella Valley Groundwater Storage Program — Metropolitan, Coachella Valley Water District, and the Desert Water Agency are investigating the feasibility of a conjunctive use program in the Lower Coachella Groundwater , Basin. The basin has the potential to store 500 TAF of groundwater for Metropolitan. • Salton Sea Restoration Transfer — A transfer of up to 1.6 MAF would be , conserved by IID and made available to Metropolitan. The proceeds from the DWR transfer would be placed in the Salton Sea Restoration Fund. ' • Lake Mead Storage — Metropolitan is exploring options for storing water in Lake Mead. , CVP/SWP Storage and Transfers Target Metropolitan has focused on voluntary short and long-term transfer and storage programs with Central Valley Project and other SWP contractors.

Metropolitan has four CVP/SWP transfer and storage programs in place for a total of 317,000 acre-feet of dry-year supply. Metropolitan is also pursuing a new storage program with Mojave Water Agency and continues to pursue Central Valley water transfers on an as needed basis. The operational programs include: • Semitropic- 107,000 AF dry-year supply ' • Arvin-Edison-90,000 AF dry-year supply • San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District-70,000 AF dry-year supply • Kern Delta Water District-50,000 AF dry-year supply • Mojave Storage Program-35,000 AF dry-year supply • Central Valley Transfer Program- 160,000 AF dry-year supply Municipal Water District of Orange County(MWDOC) Projects Sufficient water storage programs will help to ensure adequate water supplies in the future and in time of drought. The need for local storage intensifies with Southern California's and the Orange County region's dependence on imported water to serve water demands. One of the most effective forms of storage in a highly dry and and climate is conjunctive use wherein water is stored under ground during wet periods and pumped out during dry or drought periods. The MWDOC 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan discusses a number of water supply opportunities in Orange County, including the Groundwater Replenishment System,to protect and maximize the yield of the basin. 1 Orange County Groundwater Conjunctive Use Program As discussed above, the Orange County Groundwater Conjunctive Use Program was selected by Metropolitan in June 2003, funded by Proposition 13, to construct groundwater conjunctive use projects that would store imported water in wet years for use in dry years. This is a 25-year project between MWDOC, OCWD, and Metropolitan to store up to 60,000 AF of imported water in the Orange County groundwater basin for this purpose, extracting up to 20,000 AF of water during dry periods from 7-10 strategically sited wells. Although the City was not selected to participate in this program, the additional wells would reduce the re ion's dependence on imported water g p p during dry periods and would provide greater reliability. IOrange County Water District(OCWD) Projects OCWD is dedicated to maintaining a reliable supply of water for its groundwater users.

SBVMWD's groundwater table is very high, making excess supply available for pumping to the Santa Ana River for , OCWD's use. ■ OCWD continues to discuss the purchase of non-SWP water supplies via , SBVMWD's capacity in the SWP system. ■ OCWD previously entered into a one-year contract with Western Water Company to purchase water from Northern California and plans to continue with similar , contracts in the future. ■ Wheeled water supplies are available for purchase through Metropolitan. , ■ Facilities to capture greater amounts of Santa Ana River Storm flows are being proposed and constructed such as recharge basins. I ■ OCWD continues to work with the Army Corps of Engineers to allow an increase in the water conservation pool level behind Prado Dam. An increase in the , conservation pool level allows more storage of storm flows for later use as recharge water. Orange County Sanitation Districts (OCSD) As mentioned earlier, OCSD supplies treated wastewater to OCWD for further treatment. , OCWD relies on recycled water from OCSD's treatment facilities to protect the Basin through seawater intrusion barriers and landscape irrigation. OCSD in conjunction with ' OCWD have implemented the GWRS, beginning in October 2002 with OCWD and OCSD signing a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the GWRS. The first phase is currently underway, which will treat wastewater to drinking water standards for direct injection into the existing seawater intrusion barrier and percolation through recharge basins in Anaheim, California.48 The project is scheduled to go online in 2007 and will maintain and improve the reliability of the region's water supply. Further discussion on , water recycling is included in Section 8 of this Plan. 4.5 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OPPORTUNITIES , The City maintains three connections to the Metropolitan system and four emergency inter-city connections with surrounding communities. In aggregate, these connections have the ability to transfer well over 25,000 gpm into the City distribution system. The Metropolitan connections are typically operating as constant flow sources. , The City is 56.1 percent owner and acts as General Manager/Engineer and performs operations and maintenance for the West Orange County Water Board. The WOCWB is a , joint powers agreement between the cities of Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Westminster and Seal Beach for the ownership and operation of two large capacity , 48 Orange County Water District,Draft 2002-2003 Engineer's Report on Groundwater conditions,Water Supply and Basin Utilization in the Orange County Water District,February 2004 , .......... .... .. _ . .. . . . . . .. ................... ............_._..._..__.._—.....................____....._.................._..___...................._.............-------....................

The City is joint owner of a water transmission main operated by the Mesa Consolidated Water District system via OC-44. OCWD has proposed the West Orange County Wellfield Project, which would shift pumping away from the coastal areas where seawater intrusion, colored water and low well levels are ongoing concerns. If developed, the project proposes to use WOCWB lines to transmit groundwater produced in the Cypress/Stanton area of Orange County to coastal cities. The City has not entered into any agreements for transfer or exchange of water. However, Metropolitan, MWDOC, and OCWD are exploring options that would benefit the entire Orange County region. These exchanges were discussed earlier under proposed projects. 4.6 DESALINATED WATER OPPORTUNITIES Desalination is viewed as a way to develop a local, reliable source of water that assists agencies reduce their demand on imported water, reduce groundwater overdraft, and in some cases make unusable groundwater available for municipal uses. Currently, there are no identified City projects for desalination of seawater or impaired groundwater. However, from a regional perspective, desalination projects within the region indirectly benefit the City. Department of Water Resources Desalination Task Force Assembly Bill 2717 called for DWR to establish a Desalination Task Force to evaluate the following: 1) Potential opportunities for desalination of seawater and brackish water in California, 2) Impediments to using desalination technology, and 3) the role of the State in furthering the use of desalination.49 The task force comprised of 27 organizations and in October 2003 provided a list of recommendations related to the following issues: general, energy, environment,planning, and permitting. Metropolitan's Seawater Desalination Program In August 2001, Metropolitan launched its Seawater Desalination Program. The program objectives were to provide financial and technical support for the development of cost- effective seawater desalination projects that will contribute to greater water supply reliability. In 2004, Metropolitan adopted an IRP Update that includes a target of 150,000 AFY for seawater desalination projects to meet future demands. A call for proposals, under the Seawater Desalination Program, produced five projects by member agencies including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Long Beach Water Department, MWDOC, San Diego County Water Authority, and West Basin Municipal Water District. Collectively, the projects could produce approximately 126,000 AFY. This additional source of water supply would provide greater water reliability for Southern California residents.

The agencies are reviewing and assessing treatment , technologies, pretreatment alternatives, and brine disposal, permitting, and regulatory approvals associated with delivery of desalinated seawater to the local distribution system.50 Metropolitan continues to work with its member agencies to develop local projects, inform decision makers about the role of desalinated sea water on future supplies, and secure funding from various state and federal programs. , Department of Water Resources Proposition 50 Funding In January 2005, DWR received 42 eligible applications requesting $71.3 million from , funds available through Proposition 50. Proposition 50, the Water Quality, Supply and Safe Drinking Water Projects, Coastal Wetlands Purchase and Protection Act was passed , by voters in 2002. Projects eligible for the program include construction projects, research and development, feasibility studies, pilot projects, and demonstration programs. Local agencies, water districts, academic and research institution will be able to use the funds in the development of new water supplies through brackish water and seawater desalination. DWR is recommending funding for 25 of the 43 projects with the available $25 million under the current desalination grant cycle. With this funding recommendation, 54 percent , of the fund will support brackish water desalination related projects and 46 percent will support ocean desalination related projects. The projects recommended for funding , include facilities in Marin, Alameda and San Bernardino counties. Pilot projects in Long Beach, Santa Cruz, San Diego and Los Angeles are among those that will receive grants under the proposed funding plan. Research and development activities at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles are included in the recommendations, as are feasibility studies by agencies in the Bay Area, Monterey, and Riverside County. , MWDOC and OCWD's Seawater Desalination Concept Analysis , MWDOC and OCWD conducted a study, Seawater Desalination Concept Analysis, in March 1999 to determine the relative cost-effectiveness of ocean desalting compared to p other potential supplies. They continued to develop a program concept and in 2003 ' published their draft Ocean Water Desalination Program Concept Development Paper (Concept Paper). The Concept Paper was prepared to provide the OCWD and MWDOC , with additional information on potentially developing an ocean water desalter at the AES Huntington Beach Generating Station site, owned by AES Corporation. The purpose was to outline the AES site opportunities and identify the key issues to be resolved before moving forward with planning and implementation efforts. The project 1 continues to be conceptual in nature; however, the concept paper investigates the opportunities surrounding the planning and feasibility of ocean desalination in Orange 50 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California,Regional Urban Water Management Plan,September 2005 Draft .............._.__...............__.._.._.. - -.............._.............._...................__._._.............................._..............................__..._.....__....__..__....._...............................................................__..................._....................._....-----._..__...__..................................... _._ Final Draft 111211054-36 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 4 County using a specified site with existing infrastructure. The project concept is the development of a 50 MGD ocean water desalination plant to provide base water supply for the OCWD service area. A 50 MGD plant could be expected to produce 50,000 AFY. The implementation of an ocean water desalination plant can reduce groundwater pumping levels in coastal OCWD and assist in refilling the groundwater basin. It could serve as an emergency backup supply for South Orange County as well as reduce the amount of water required for seawater barrier injection. Implementation of the ocean water desalination plant would require regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship stakeholder interface, and a lengthy completion schedule. Proposed Projects for Desalination In Orange County, there are three proposed ocean desalination projects that could serve MWDOC, including one specifically that may benefit the City. The proposed projects are discussed in MWDOC's 2005 Regional UWMP and summarized below. Poseidon Resources Corporation Proposed Project—Poseidon Resources Corporation, a private company, is proposing a seawater desalination project to be located adjacent to the AES Generation Power Plant in Huntington Beach. The proposed project would provide 50 MGD of water supply to coastal and south Orange County. In 2003, the City denied certification of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). A Recirculated EIR was subsequently prepared. The project is currently in the environmental review and permitting phase and there are no contractual agreements in place for the purchase of water. Joint San Diego/Orange County Proposed Regional San Onofre Project— This joint project is currently being investigated to determine project feasibility. The project size is anticipated to range from 50 — 150 MGD and utilize the decommissioned Unit I San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station cooling water inlet and outlet conduits for feedwater and brine disposal. The project may be implemented in 2020. MWDOC Proposed Dana Point Ocean Desalination Project — MWDOC is currently investigating the feasibility of a desalination project in Dana Point adjacent to San Juan Creek. The feasibility study will evaluate feedwater supply, concentrated RO reject disposal, and energy. The recommended capacity is 25 mgd. MWDOC received DWR Proposition 50 funding in the amount of$1,000,000 to investigate horizontal directional drilling with water well technology for use in constructing feedwater supply wells in the marine alluvial channel system.51 51 MWDOC 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 4-37 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach Section 4 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update This page intentionally left blank ............................. .......................................................................................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................

Unaccounted-for water was 9.9% in 1995/96, but has averaged 6.4% since 1996/97. The decrease in unaccounted-for water can be in part attributed to a leak detection survey conducted for the City in 1996/97. A total of 498 miles of pipeline was surveyed, with a water loss of approximately 67,000 gpd quantified from 17 identified leaks. The annual water loss from these leaks was quantified as approximately 24.4 million gallons. The City repaired all of the leaks identified in the survey and the City has since implemented an on-going leak investigation and repair program as a measure to keep water losses to a minimum while facilitating cost savings.52 jUnaccounted-for water is the difference between water production and water consumption and represents "lost" water. Unaccounted-for water occurs for a number of reasons: » Water lost from system leaking, i.e. from pipes, valves, pumps, and other water Isystem appurtenances. sz City of Huntington Beach,Draft Water Master Plan.August 2005 .........................._..---......._...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................----.............................................._._....-----.................... _._._...__.......__ I 5-1 Final Craft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach i Section 5 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update » The City Fire Department performs hydrant testing to monitor the level of fire protection available throughout the City.

Commercial uses are generally scattered throughout the City, partially in strip areas and partially in concentrated specific centers. Several hundred industrial uses are located in Huntington Beach, included with some of the largest: Boeing Space and Defense Systems, AES Power Plant and Calarum. An additional significant use category is open space, which primarily consists of public school properties. Currently, vacant area within the City is quite limited. Projected population increases are not related to the redevelopment of any specific area, but is instead indicative of a general density increase. There are 17,231 acres of land within the City boundaries. Of existing land, only 3 i percent of the City remains as vacant land (520 acres). Of this vacant land, approximately 25 percent is zoned residential, 24 percent is zoned industrial, and 18 percent is zoned open space parks. It is assumed that all of this land will be developed ultimately with the exceptions of land to be left vacant per City Specific Plans and vacant land in the open space conservation category, which is assumed to remain open space, i.e. no future water demands.54 Housing density data for the City, as determined by the Center for Demographics , Research California State University Fullerton, is shown in Table 5.4-1.

Final Draft 11121105 5-4 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section SECTION 6 WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES 6.1 INTRODUCTION On August 21, 2000, the City Council of Huntington Beach elected to become Signatory 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Regarding Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Urban Water Conservation with the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). The City was officially voted in as a member of the CUWCC at the September 21, 2000 plenary session of CUWCC. MWDOC implements many of the urban water conservation BMPs on behalf of its member agencies, including the City of Huntington Beach. MWDOC's 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan should be referred to for a detailed discussion of each regional BMP program. 6.2 DETERMINATION OF DMM IMPLEMENTATION As Signatory to the MOU, the City has committed to a good faith effort in implementing the 14 cost-effective BMPs. "Implementation" means achieving and maintaining the staffing, funding, and in general, the priority levels necessary to achieve the level of activity called for in each BMP's definition, and to satisfy the commitment by the tsignatories to use good faith efforts to optimize savings from implementing BMPs as described in the MOU. A BMP as defined in the MOU is a"practice for which sufficient data are available from existing water conservation practices to indicate that significant conservation or conservation related benefits can be achieved; that the practice is technically and economically reasonable and not environmentally or socially 1 unacceptable; and that the practice is not otherwise unreasonable for most water agencies to carry out." These 14 BMPs include technologies and methodologies that have been sufficiently documented in multiple demonstration projects that result in more efficient water use and conservation. Many of the BMPs are implemented by the City in coordination with MWDOC and their regional conservation programs. As signatory to the MOU, the City is responsible for completing and submitting BMP Activity Reports to the CUWCC every two years for each year prior. The City's BMP Activity Report is a comprehensive document that shows implementation of each BMP and provides a determination of implementation from the City's 2000 UWMP. The City has maintained complete compliance with all the BMPs to date. Appendix E includes the Activity Reports for reporting years 2003-2004, Annual Reports for 2001-2002 and the Coverage Reports. The Coverage Report indicates that the City is on track for meeting BMP coverage in its service area according to the MOU. .--......-.-...................................._..................................................................................__..................--..__........-_..................................._._....._......-...__........ ..._.....--..................................-------... - -.............--.._........................ -1 Final Graft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 6 2005 5 Urban Water Management Pan Update 6.3 DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES ' As signatory to the MOU, the City has committed to use good-faith efforts to implement the 14 cost-effective BMPs established by the CUWCC.

Final Draft 11121105 -2 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section SECTION 7 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN ' 7.1 INTRODUCTION California's extensive system of water supply infrastructure, its reservoirs, groundwater basins, and inter-regional conveyance facilities, mitigates the effect of short-term dry periods. Defining when a drought begins is a function of drought impacts to water users. Drought is a gradual phenomenon. Although droughts are sometimes characterized as emergencies, they differ from typical emergency events. Droughts occur slowly, over a multiyear period. Drought impacts increase with the length of a drought, as carry-over supplies in reservoirs are depleted and water levels in groundwater basins decline. In order to meet short-term water demand deficiencies, and short-or long-term drought requirements, the City of Huntington Beach will implement its own water shortage policy based upon Chapter 14.18 of the City's Municipal Water Code. In addition, the City's Water Efficient Landscape Requirements, included in Chapter 14.52 of the City's Municipal Code, sets forth standards for landscape irrigation during drought and non- drought times, and acknowledges the constant need to establish long-term water ' efficiency. Chapter 14.16 of the Municipal Code also establishes overall Water Use Regulations, including regulations for water meters. Provisions of the City's Municipal Code will be implemented in congruence with the policy of MWDOC and OCWD's water shortage/drought activities. MWDOC's policy will be based Metropolitan's adopted Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan (WSDM Plan). The WSDM Plan is designed to guide management of regional water supplies to achieve reliability goals for southern California. 7.2 STAGES OF ACTION City of Huntington Beach Water Shortage Response ' In the event of a water shortage, the City's Director of Public Works and the City ' Administrator, or their designated representative, are authorized and directed by City Council to implement provisions of the Water Management Program. All actions taken will be confirmed at the earliest practicable time by the City Council The Director of Public Works determines the extent of conservation or water use efficiency required through the implementation and/or termination of particular conservation stages in order for the City to prudently plan for and supply water to its customers. The City Council directs the City Administrator to order the appropriate stage ' of water conservation. However, in case of local emergencies, the City Administrator has the authority to order the implementation of the appropriate stage of water conservation subject to ratification by the City Council within seven days thereafter. As defined in Chapter 14.18 (included in Appendix F) of the City's Municipal Water ' Code, a water shortage is declared based on one or more of the following conditions: ...........................................................................__.._....----.........._____._......_._............_.._._.......................---._.... .® . . . .. .................. Draft 11121105 City of Huntington each , Section 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update a) A general water supply shortage due to increased demand or limited supplies. b) A major failure of the supply, storage and distribution facilities of the Metropolitan ' Water District of Southern California or of the City occurs. c) A local or regional disaster,which limits the water, supply. The City's Water Management Program includes the following stages of water shortage actions, which take effect upon declaration. The Water Management Program, defined in , Chapter 14.18 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, includes mandatory conservation phase implementation. The Director of Public Works shall determine the extent of the conservation required through implementation and/or termination of , particular conservation stages in order for the City to plan for and supply water to its customers, including consumption reduction up to 50%. As a MWDOC member agency, , the City will follow the stages of action set forth by Metropolitan, as detailed below, which accomplish and ensure 100%reliability. Rationing Stages and Reduction Goals , In order to meet short-term water demand deficiencies, and short- or long-term drought , requirements, Huntington Beach will implement its own water shortage policy in accordance with the City's Water Conservation Program and the policy of MWDOC, , which is anticipated to be based on Metropolitan's WSDM Plan. The WSDM Plan defines the expected sequence of resource management actions Metropolitan will take during surpluses and shortages of water to minimize the probability of severe shortages , that require curtailment of full-service demands. The MWDOC 2005 Regional UWMP details each of the surplus and shortage stages, actions by stage and allocation of supply , for M&I demand. Mandatory allocations are avoided to the extent practicable, however, in the event of an extreme shortage, an allocation plan will be adopted in accordance with the principles of the WSDM Plan. , Metropolitan Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan In 1999, Metropolitan in conjunction with its member agencies developed the WSDM , Plan. This plan addresses both surplus and shortage contingencies. The WSDM Plan will guide management of regional water supplies to achieve the reliability goals of Southern California's IRP. The IRP sought to meet long-term supply ' and reliability goals for future water supply planning. The WSDM Plan guiding principle is to minimize adverse impacts of water shortage and ensure regional reliability. From this guiding principle come the following supporting principles: • Encourage efficient water use and economical local resource programs. • Coordinate operations with member agencies to make as much surplus water as , possible available for use in dry years. • Pursue innovative transfers and banking programs to secure more imported water ' for use in dry years. ......Final Draft 1121105..........._...—_.................................................................... .® . . . . . . . . ... ................... , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 7 • Increase public awareness about water supply issues. ' The WSDM Plan guides the operations of water resources (local resources, Colorado River, State Water Project, and regional storage) to ensure regional reliability. It identifies the expected sequence of resource management actions Metropolitan will take during surpluses and shortages of water to minimize the probability of severe shortages that require curtailment of full-service demands. Mandatory allocations are avoided to the extent practicable, however, in the event of an extreme shortage an allocation plan will be adopted in accordance with the principles of the WSDM Plan. The WSDM Plan distinguishes between Surpluses, Shortages, Severe Shortages, and Extreme Shortages. Within the WSDM Plan, these terms have specific meaning relating to Metropolitan's capability to deliver water to the City. Surplus: Metropolitan can meet full-service and interruptible program demands, and it can deliver water to local and regional storage. ' Shortage: Metropolitan can meet full-service demands and partially meet or fully meet interruptible demands, using stored water or water transfers as necessary. Severe Shortage: Metropolitan can meet full-service demands only by using stored water, transfers, and possibly calling for extraordinary conservation. In a Severe Shortage, Metropolitan may have to curtail Interim Agricultural Water Program (IAWP) deliveries in accordance with IAWP. Extreme Shortage: Metropolitan must allocate available supply to full-service customers. The WSDM Plan also defines five surplus management stages and seven shortage management stages to guide resource management activities. Each year, Metropolitan will consider the level of supplies available and the existing levels of water in storage to ' determine the appropriate management stage for that year. Each stage is associated with specific resource management actions designed to: 1) avoid an Extreme Shortage to the maximum extent possible; and 2) minimize adverse impacts to retail customers should an "Extreme Shortage" occur. The current sequencing outline in the WSDM Plan reflects anticipated responses based on detailed modeling of Metropolitan's existing and expected resource mix. This sequencing may change as the resource mix evolves. WSDM Plan Shortage Actions by Shortage Stage When Metropolitan must make net withdrawals from storage, it is considered to be in a shortage condition. However, under most of these stages, it is still able to meet all end- use demands for water. The following summaries describe water management actions to be taken under each of the seven shortage stages. ................-----......................................................................................_.._....----.........................................----............................._................................................_.........._......._..................----.............__.__._....................................- -..._._. 7-3 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach ' Section 7 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Shortage Stage 1. Metropolitan may make withdrawals from Diamond Valley Lake. Shortage Stage 2. Metropolitan will continue Shortage Stage 1 actions and may draw ' from out-of-region groundwater storage. , Shortage Stage 3. Metropolitan will continue Shortage Stage 2 actions and may curtail or temporarily suspend deliveries to Long Term Seasonal and Replenishment , Programs in accordance with their discounted rates. Shortage Stage 4.

Metropolitan will continue Shortage Stage 4 actions. Metropolitan's Board of Directors may call for extraordinary conservation through a , coordinated outreach effort and may curtail Interim Agricultural Water Program deliveries in accordance with their discounted rates. In the event of a call for extraordinary conservation, Metropolitan's Drought Program Officer will coordinate , public information activities with member agencies and monitor the effectiveness of ongoing conservation programs. The Drought Program Officer will implement , monthly reporting on conservation program activities and progress and will provide quarterly estimates of conservation water savings. Shortage Stage 6. Metropolitan will continue Shortage Stage 5 actions and may , exercise any and all water supply option contracts and/or buy water on the open , market either for consumptive use or for delivery to regional storage facilities for use during the shortage. Shortage Stage 7. Metropolitan will discontinue deliveries to regional storage , facilities, except on a regulatory or seasonal basis, continue extraordinary conservation efforts, and develop a plan to allocate available supply fairly and , efficiently to full-service customers. The allocation plan will be based on the Board- adopted principles for allocation listed previously. Metropolitan intends to enforce these allocations using rate surcharges. Under the current WSDM Plan, the surcharges will be set at a minimum of $175 per of for any deliveries exceeding a member agency's allotment. Any deliveries exceeding 102% of the allotment will be , assessed a surcharge equal to three times Metropolitan's full-service rate. The overriding goal of the WSDM Plan is to never reach Shortage Stage 7, an Extreme Shortage. Given present resources, Metropolitan fully expects to achieve this goal over the next ten years.

Final Draft 11121105 7- , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 7 Reliability Modeling of the WSDM Plan Using a technique known as "sequentially indexed Monte Carlo simulation," Metropolitan undertook an extensive analysis of system reservoirs, forecasted demands, and probable hydrologic conditions to estimate the likelihood of reaching each Shortage Stage through 2010. The results of this analysis demonstrated the benefits of coordinated management of regional supply and storage resources. Expected occurrence of a Severe Shortage is four percent or less in most years and never exceeds six percent; equating to an expected shortage occurring once every 17 to 25 years. An Extreme Shortage was avoided in every simulation run. Metropolitan also tested the WSDM Plan by analyzing its ability to meet forecasted demands given a repeat of the two most severe California droughts in recent history. Hydrologic conditions for the years 1923-34 and 1980-91 were used in combination with demographic projections to generate two hypothetical supply and demand forecasts for the period 1999-2010. Metropolitan then simulated operation to determine the extent of regional shortage, if any. The results again indicate 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the forecast period. Allocation of Supply for M&I Demands The equitable allocation of supplies is addressed by the Implementation Goals for the WSDM Plan, with the first goal being to "avoid mandatory import water allocations to the extent practicable." The reliability g modelin for the WSDM Plan discussed above results in 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the year 2010. iHowever, the second fundamental goal of the WSDM Plan is to "equitably allocate imported water on the basis of agencies' needs." Factors for consideration in establishing the equitable allocation include retail and economic impacts, recycled water production, conservation levels, growth, local supply production, and participation and investment in Metropolitan's system and programs. In the event of an extreme shortage, an allocation plan will be adopted in accordance with the principles of the WSDM Plan. In an effort to avoid allocation, import water reliability is planned through the Southern California IRP and the WSDM Plan. The IRP presents a comprehensive water resource strategy to provide the region with a reliable and affordable water supply for the next 25 years. The WSDM Plan will guide management of regional water supplies to achieve the reliability goals of the IRP. Under a drought scenario, OCWD may have Metropolitan replenishment water temporarily unavailable to them for replenishment of the groundwater basin. OCWD would first attempt to purchase other water supplies at a similar cost to replace the Metropolitan source. If no alternative water supply sources are economically available, OCWD may temporarily mine the basin by increasing the BPP to meet local demand and refill it in the future. OCWD used this strategy during the later years of the 1986-92 drought period. If this option is not available, then OCWD may lower the current 64 percent BPP to match the basin's Dependable Yield. Under this last scenario, the City ................._._._._.._..........---._.-..._...._._...._........................................................................_..._....--................................----................— .._........._................................................. 7-5 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach Section 7 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update 1 may request increased imported water along with conservation and water use efficiency measures by customers to meet demand. The OC WD Master Plan Report, Chapter 14 - , Basin Management Issues, further describes OCWD activities that may affect the City during a declared drought. , Health and Safety Requirements The primary goal of the City's water system is to preserve the health and safety of its , personnel and the public. Meeting this goal is a continuous function of the system - before, during and after a disaster or water shortage. Fire suppression capabilities will , continue to be maintained during any water shortage contingency stage. Some water needs are more immediate than others are. The following list of public health needs and , the allowable time without potable water is a guideline and will depend on the magnitude of the water shortage: • Hospitals-continuous need , • Emergency shelters-immediate need • Kidney dialysis-24 hours , • Drinking water- 72 hours • Personal hygiene, waste disposal-72 hours , Based on commonly accepted estimates of interior residential water use in the United States, Table 7.2-1 indicates per capita health and safety water requirements. During the , initial stage of a shortage, customers may adjust either interior and/or outdoor water use in order to meet the voluntary water reduction goal.

The waste or unreasonable use, or unreasonable method of use, of water should be prevented and that water conservation and water use efficiency is encouraged with a view to the maximum reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interests of the people of the City and for the public welfare. Preservation of health and safety will be a top priority for the City. I 7.3 ESTIMATE OF MINIMUM SUPPLY FOR NEXT THREE YEARS According to MWDOC, Metropolitan projects 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the year 2025. Additionally, through a variety of groundwater reliability programs conducted by OCWD and participated in by the City, local supplies are projected to be maintained at demand levels. The City anticipates the ability to meet water demand through the next three years based on the driest historic three-years as shown in Table 7.3-1. Table 7.3-1 Three Year Estimated Minimum Water Supply (Based on Driest 3-Year Historic Sequence) (AF) a ul�xpl !y f a �w n 0111 Local Supplies 22,980 23,300 23,620 24,140 24,470 25,690 Imported Supply 12,920 13,100 13,280 13,580 13,770 13,080 Total 35,900 36,400 36,900 37,720 38,240 38,770 rSource:Projections are interpolated from data in Tables 4.2-3 and 4.2-5;BPP is assumed to be 64%in 2006-2008. The City relies on groundwater wells accessing the Santa Ana River groundwater basin managed by OCWD and imported water from Metropolitan through MWDOC. Both sources of water are vitally important to the City. MWDOC and OCWD are implementing water supply alternative strategies for the region and on behalf of its member agencies to insure available water in the future and during shortages. Supplemental water supplies are discussed in Section 4, Water Reliability Planning. Supplies discussed include regionally beneficial programs, including management of water system pressures and peak demands, water exchanges or transfers, conjunctive use programs, recycled water projects and desalination. These options include programs for expanded local supplies. Additional actions to manage limited supplies would include both operational and demand management measures, encompassing alternative rate 1 ......................_..................................................---.........._....................................._...............------._................................................................._......................................_.__......-'---....._............................................................................................._............_..... -7 final,gaff 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 7 2005 t t an Water Management Plan Update structures, distribution of water use efficiency devices, and enhanced school education and public information. , The MWDOC 2005 Regional UWMP further discusses programs by MWDOC, OCWD , and Metropolitan for the benefit of the region and its member agencies, including the City of Huntington Beach. 7.4 CATASTROPHIC SUPPLY INTERRUPTION PLAN Water Shortage Emergency Response , A water shortage emergency could be the result of a catastrophic event such as result of , drought, failures of transmission facilities, a regional power outage, earthquake, flooding, supply contamination from chemical spills, or other adverse conditions. The City , maintains and exercises a comprehensive Emergency Management Program for such emergencies including Water Shortage Emergency Response. The Utilities Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for water operations and the maintenance of , the Water & Utilities section of the City of Huntington Beach Emergency Management Plan. The plan describes the organizational and operational policies and procedures required to meet the needs of sufficient water for firefighting operations and safe drinking water and provides a system for organizing and prioritizing water repairs. It also cites authorities and specifies the public and private organizations responsible for providing water service. The Utilities Division will operate under normal operating procedures until a situation is beyond its control. This includes implementation of any allocation plan passed through , by MWDOC for Metropolitan, and water shortage contingency plans of OCWD. If the situation is beyond the Utilities Division's control, the Water Operations Center (WOC) may be activated to better manage the situation. If the situation warrants, the City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) may be activated at which time a water , representative will be sent to the EOC to coordinate water emergency response with all other City department's emergency response. The representative sent to the EOC is called the Water Tactical Officer. , In the event the EOC is activated, the City management Policy Group will set priorities. When the EOC is activated, the WOC will take its direction from the EOC. An EOC , Action Plan will be developed in the EOC that will carry out the policies dictated by the Policy Group. The WOC will use the EOC Action Plan in determining its course of action. Coordination between the WOC and the EOC will be done by the Water Utilities Manager(located in the WOC) and the Water Tactical Officer(located in the EOC) under the direction of the Public Works Chief(located in the EOC). , ......................_.__..._...............__..._...................._.._................................_...................._..._..._........................._.............._....._....._.._....._.........................................................................................................._......................................._........................_........... Final Draft 11121105 - City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban an Water Management Plan Update Section 7 If the situation is beyond the Utilities Division's and the City's control, additional assistance will be sought through coordination with the Water Emergency Response Organization of Orange County. Water Emergency Response Organization of Orange County(WEROC) The City of Huntington Beach Utilities Division actively participates in the Water Emergency Response Organization of Orange County (WEROC). WEROC performs coordination of information and mutual-aid requests among water agencies, and conducts disaster training exercises for the Orange County water community and with Metropolitan. In 1983, the Orange County water community developed a Water Supply Emergency Preparedness Plan to respond effectively to disasters impacting the regional water distribution system. This plan was jointly funded by three regional water agencies: Coastal Municipal Water District, MWDOC, and OCWD, with the support and guidance from the Orange County Water Association (OCWA). The collective efforts of these agencies resulted in the formation of the countywide WEROC, which is unique in its ability to provide a single point of contact for water representation in Orange County during a disaster. The MWDOC 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan presents further details of WEROC. Additional emergency services available to the City of Huntington Beach in the State of California include the Master Mutual Aid Agreement, WARN and Plan Bulldozer. The Master Mutual Aid Agreement includes all public agencies that have signed the agreement and is planned out of the California Office of Emergency Services. The California Water Agencies Response Network (WARN) includes all public agencies that have signed the agreement to WARN and provides mutual aid assistance. It is managed by a State Steering Committee. Plan Bulldozer provides mutual aid for construction equipment to any public agency for the initial time of disaster when danger to life and property exists. 7.5 PROHIBITIONS, PENALTIES, AND CONSUMPTION REDUCTION METHODS As part of the City's Water Management Program, water use regulations are set forth in Chapter 14.16 of the City's Municipal Code, as included in Appendix F. Some of the regulations included apply to fires (fire hydrants), waste (improper fixtures), meters (use and location), violations, drawing into steam boilers, water sales outside of city, and Icross-connections protection. Refer to Appendix F for the complete ordinance. Any violation of the City's Water Management Program, including waste of water and excessive use, is a misdemeanor. In addition to any other remedies that the City may have for enforcement, service of water would be discontinued or appropriately limited to any customer who willfully uses water in violation of any provision of the ordinance. ..............._.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._..................................................................................._............................................................................................ 7-9 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach , Section 7 2005 Urban Water Management Flan Update The City of Huntington Beach will follow the allocation plan guidelines of MWDOC as , adopted by Metropolitan once an extreme shortage is declared. This allocation plan will be enforced by Metropolitan using rate surcharges. MWDOC will follow the guidelines of the allocation plan and impose the surcharge that Metropolitan applies to its member , agencies that exceed their water allocation, as appropriate, to enforce consumption reduction up to 50% reduction in water supply. The City would correspondingly impose surcharges or penalties in accordance with its ordinance on excessive use of water. 7.6 REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE IMPACTS AND MEASURES TO OVERCOME THOSE IMPACTS The City receives water revenue from a commodity charge, a fixed customer charge and a capital surcharge. The rates have been designed to recover the full cost of water service ■ in the commodity charge. Therefore, the cost of purchasing water and producing ■ groundwater would decrease as the usage or sale of water decreases. Should an extreme shortage be declared and a large reduction in water sales occurs for an extended period of time the Utilities Division would reexamine its water rate structure and monitor projected expenditures. In the event of a 50% reduction in water supply, the City will , take action in congruence with MWDOC to ensure adequate consumption reduction methods. In September 2003, MWDOC partnered with the Orange County Business Council and prepared a report, "Determining the Value of Water Supply Reliability in Orange County, California." The study provides insights into how to value water supply reliability by , providing projected estimates of the economic impacts of different water shortages that could result in Orange County. The study does not assess the likelihood of different disruptions to water supply, but instead estimates the economic impacts of the resulting water shortages if a particular supply interruption occurs. Two types of shortages are examined in the study—short-term emergency disruptions and multiple-year droughts. A range of scenarios was examined for both situations. Those scenarios were: » Emergency Disruptions: Water supply reductions of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% for , 10, 20, 30, and 60 days. » Drought: Water supply reductions of 5% and 20% for one,two, and three years. , The estimated economic impacts are separated into business impacts and residential impacts. Residential users are often required to reduce their water usage more than , business customers during water shortages to help preserve the economic base of the area. In addition to residential and business impacts, this report also includes an estimate of the value of landscape losses that would be expected during droughts, and a discussion of the impact of emergency outages on damages from firestorms due to a lack of water supply for firefighting. , .........................._.._...............--..................................._.._........................................._._...__......................................_._..............................................._.._...........__...._.......................__..........._............................................—-................................. __. l Final Draft 1112115 - 0 City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 7 The study has produced dollar estimates of economic impacts of given water shortages to both the business and residential sectors of three regions within Orange County. The water shortage scenarios analyzed included both short-term emergency disruptions (10 to 60 days in duration) and multiple-year drought situations (1 to 3 years). The three regions II, , of the County analyzed were defined based on the availability of local supplies and the potential risk of supply reliability impacts. The results revealed that business impacts are larger than residential impacts. For short- term, emergency disruptions, the difference between business impacts and residential iimpacts varies depending on the magnitude and length of a shortage. For an 80% water loss in South Orange County for 60 days, business impacts are approximately five times as large as residential impacts. For a 20% water loss in the Basin, business impacts are approximately ten times as large as resident impacts. At low levels of water disruption, resident impacts more closely approximate business impacts. For example, the residential impacts from a 20% water loss for 10 days in South Orange County are about 75% of the business impacts from the same disruption. For all of Orange County during an emergency outage that causes a 20%water supply shortfall and lasts from 10 to 60 days, the economic impacts range from $0.4 to $3 billion. Employment losses were estimated at 3,000 to 23,000 over the 10-60 days. For all of Orange County during a drought that results in a 5% shortage to the Basin area and 20% shortage outside the basin area for a 1 to 3 year period, the economic impacts I range from $15 to $43 billion. Employment losses were estimated at 75,000 to 225,000 over the one to three-year period. If shortages were to occur: • South Orange County would experience approximately 12% of the business and jemployment impacts, but 25% of the residential and landscape losses. South Orange County has a higher dependence on imported water supplies and hence is more vulnerable to supply outages. • The Orange County Basin would experience 84% of the business impacts and 71% of the residential and landscape losses, but has a significant supply of water available from the groundwater basin and hence is somewhat insulated from imported water supply emergency disruptions. • Brea/La Habra area would experience about 3%of all impacts. 1 Drought scenarios generally cause a higher level of impact than do emergency outages and exceed all but the worst-case emergency disruptions. The exception is a 60-day, 60% reduction in water supplies to the Basin business sector, which would exceed the impact of a year-long 5% drought in the Basin. (20% reduction in imported supply assuming a 70% BPP.) In most scenarios, about half of the business losses are in the manufacturing and service sectors. Employment losses are highest in services and retail throughout the County. i _.............................................................................................................._._.__..._...................................................__._............................................................................_.............._._._.—_._.._._..............................._................................................................................................. 7- final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach I Section 7 2005 5 Urban Water Management Plan Update The study provides extensive insight into the City's water reliability and water shortage contingency plan for planning for the future. The study also demonstrates the extensive , importance to the City's water reliability and water shortage contingency plan for planning for the future. If such impacts occur in the residential and business community, , the municipal community will be impacted correspondingly. Economic impacts to the community create economic impacts to the City revenue from water sales, among other City revenue sources. The City must and will continue to be diligent in maintaining t appropriate water rates and rate structure, and making reasonable adjustments as justified; maintaining sufficient water reserve funds; and managing expenses accordingly. 7.7 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY ORDINANCE , In 1991, the City of Huntington Beach adopted by ordinance a comprehensive Water Management Program based upon the need to conserve water supplies and to avoid or minimize the effects of future shortage. A copy of the City's Water Management Program Ordinance, Chapter 14.18 of the City Municipal Code, is included as Appendix F. Chapter 14.16 of the Municipal Code also establishes overall Water Use Regulations, , including regulations for water meters. In addition, the City's Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance, Chapter 14.52 of the City's Municipal Code. Both are also , included in Appendix F. 7.8 MECHANISMS TO DETERMINE REDUCTIONS IN WATER USE Under normal conditions, potable water production figures are recorded daily. Weekly , and monthly reports are prepared and monitored. This data will be used to measure the effectiveness of any water shortage contingency stage that may be implemented. ■ As stages of water shortage are declared by MWDOC, the City of Huntington Beach will ■ follow implementation of those stages and continue to monitor water demand levels. It is , not until Shortage Stage 5 that Metropolitan may call for extraordinary conservation. During this stage, Metropolitan's Drought Program Officer will coordinate public , information activities with MWDOC and monitor the effectiveness of ongoing conservation programs. Monthly reporting on estimated conservation water savings will be provided. , The City will participate in monthly member agency manager meetings with both MWDOC and OCWD to monitor and discuss monthly water allocation charts. This will enable the City to be aware of import water use on a timely basis as a result of specific actions taken responding to the City's Water Shortage Contingency Plan. , ............. ................................ .............................__...._..._..._......................._..................................._..........._.........................................._.................._.........__._.._..._..............................................._............................................................---. Final Draft 111211057-12 iCity of Huntington n Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section SECTION 8 WATER RECYCLING 8.1 RECYCLED WATER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA The Southern California region, from Ventura to San Diego, discharges over 1 billion jgallons (1.1 million AFY) of treated wastewater to the ocean each day. This is considered a reliable and drought-proof water source and could greatly reduce the areas' and the City's reliance on imported water. As technological improvements continue to reduce treatment costs, and as public perception and acceptance continue to improve, numerous reuse opportunities should develop. Recycled water is a critical part of the California water picture because of the strong drought potential and as technology continues to improve, demand continues to increase for its use. 8.2 COORDINATION OF RECYCLED WATER IN THE CITY SERVICE AREA Currently, the City does not utilize or serve directly applied recycled water to any of its customers or for municipal purposes. However, the City produces a majority of its water supply from the Basin. OCWD utilizes recycled water generated from Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD) treatment facilities to protect the Basin through seawater intrusion barriers and groundwater recharge basins. The City, therefore, indirectly benefits from this regional use of recycled water. The regional projects are discussed later in this section. 8.3 WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT IN THE CITY SERVICE AREA Wastewater from the City's water service area is collected and treated by OCSD. The City operates and maintains the localized sewer branches that feed into OCSD's trunk f system from the City. The City of Huntington Beach sewer system includes 385 miles of sewer lines, 10,000 manholes and 28 lift stations. OCSD operates the third largest wastewater system on the west coast, consisting of nearly 600 miles of trunk sewers and 200 miles of subtrunk sewers, two regional treatment plants, and an ocean disposal system. The OCSD sewerage system collects wastewater through an extensive system of gravity flow sewers, pump stations, and pressurized sewers (force mains). The sewer system consists of 12 trunk sewer systems ranging in size from 12 to 96 inches in diameter and collectively over 500 miles long. Additionally, there are 39 sewer interconnections and 87 diversions to maximize conveyance of flows through the system. Twenty pump stations are used to pump sewage from lower lying areas to the treatment plants. ................................................................._.._..._.-_..........__...................................---..._..............__._.._._.._. 8-1 Final Graff 11121105 City of Huntington each Section 8 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Orange County Sanitation Districts (OCSD) Treatment Plants OCSD's Reclamation Plant No. I is located in the City of Fountain Valley about 4 miles northeast of the ocean and adjacent to the Santa Ana River. The plant provides advanced primary and secondary treatment and supplies secondary treatment water to 0CWD which further treats and distributes the water for various uses, including irrigation, groundwater recharge, and operation of coastal seawater barrier system. The treatment process at Reclamation Plant No. I includes secondary treatment through an activated sludge system. This plant receives raw wastewater from six major sewer pipes, often called "interceptors" or "trunk lines." The secondary effluent is either blended with the advanced primary effluent and routed to the ocean disposal system, or is sent to the OCWD facilities for advanced treatment and recycling. The solid materials removed in the treatment systems are processed in large tanks to facilitate natural decomposition. Half of the material is converted to methane, which is burned as fuel in the energy recovery system, and the remaining solids are used as a soil amendment or fertilizer in Kern, Kings, Riverside, and San Diego Counties. OCSD's Treatment Plant No. 2 is located in the City of Huntington Beach adjacent to the Santa Ana River and about 1,500 feet from the ocean. This plant provides a mix of advanced primary and secondary treatment. The plant receives raw wastewater through five major sewers. The treatment process is similar to Plant No. 1. Approximately 33 percent of the influent receives secondary treatment through an activated sludge system, and all of the effluent is discharged to the ocean disposal system. OCSD's treated wastewater is discharged through a 120-inch outfall at a depth of approximately 200 feet below sea level and nearly five miles offshore from the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Its high tide hydraulic capacity is 480 mgd. A 78-inch standby outfall stretches approximately one mile from shore that is used for emergency purposes. Table 8.3-1 projects the treated wastewater discharged to the ocean from Treatment Plant No. 1 and 2.

Current capacity for Plant No. 2 is 168 mgd of wastewater, with an average flow of 144 mgd.56 The City provides significant amount of wastewater to OCSD's plants. The quantities of wastewater generated are generally proportional to the population and the water use in the service area. Estimates of the wastewater flows in the City are included in Table 8.3-2. The wastewater flows 1 were calculated using the population projections included in Section 1.

Recycled water is used to protect the Basin through recharge and prevention of saltwater intrusion. Recycled water in Orange County is also used to irrigate crops, golf courses, parks, schools, business landscapes, residential lawns, and some industrial uses thus offsetting potable water demands. In 2003/2004, over 10,000 AF of recycled water was applied by water retailers in the County.57 The regional projects planned or currently used to provide recycled water are discussed in the following sections. Green Acres Project(GAP) OCSD produces recycled water year round for OCWD's Green Acres Project (GAP), providing recycled water for industrial customers and landscape irrigation in the cities of Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, and Newport Beach. The GAP has the capacity to treat up to 7.5 mgd of recycled water.

' 8-3 Final Draft 11121105 City of Huntington Beach Section 8 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Water Factory 21 Although currently offline due to the construction of the GWRS, Water Factory 21 had been used by OCWD since 1976 to produced recycled water for injection into the groundwater basin to protect against seawater intrusion. Water Factory 21 purified approximately 4 mgd of recycled water and deep well water. This blended water supplied a hydraulic barrier system that consisted of a series of injection wells, located approximately four miles inland, to produce a fresh water mound within the groundwater aquifer to block further passage of seawater. The GWRS will replace Water Factory 21 and continue to provide recycled water for injection into the basin. Southern California Comprehensive Water Reclamation and Reuse Study (SCCWRRS) In 1993, the DWR, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and ■ seven southern California water agencies, including Metropolitan, undertook a study to ■ evaluate the feasibility of a regional water reclamation plan. The Southern California Comprehensive Water Reclamation and Reuse Study (SCCWRRS) is a six-year effort to identify regional reclamation systems, and promote efficient use of total water resources by increasing the use of recycled water and identifying opportunities for and constraints to maximizing water reuse in Southern California. Based upon draft findings of the SCCWRRS, a regional water recycling system that spans the entire study area is not practical or feasible; however, subregional systems warrant further evaluation. Orange County and the Lower Santa Ana River Watershed has been identified as one of the four geographical regions, and is being examined for a regional water recycling system for short-term (2010) and long-term (2040) applications. OCWD/OCSD Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) The most immediate potential use for recycled water in Orange County is for groundwater basin recharge. To supplement regional water recycling projects such as the Green Acres Project, the GWRS (a groundwater recharge project) jointly sponsored by OCWD and OCSD is being implemented. The GWRS is a water supply project designed to ultimately reuse approximately 110,000 AFY of advanced treated wastewater. The first phase is currently underway and is scheduled to go online in 2007. The first phase anticipates treating 61,000 AFY in 2007/08, 68,000 AFY in 2008/09, and eventually 72,000 AFY." Timing of future phases will be determined by projected flow requirements for anticipated water demands. The objective of the project is to develop a new source of reliable, high quality, low salinity water that will be used to replenish the Basin and expand the existing seawater intrusion barrier. The GWRS supplements existing water supplies, and provides a new, 58 Orange County Water District,Long Term Facilities Plan,Draft October 2005. ................................................................................................................................................I......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thus, the GWRS is comprised of three major components: (1) Advanced Water Purification Facilities (AWPF) and pumping stations; i (2) a major pipeline connecting the treatment facilities to existing recharge basins; and (3) expansion of an existing seawater intrusion barrier. The GWRS will take secondary, treated municipal wastewater from the OCSD Treatment Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley and further cleans this water to levels that exceed current drinking water standards. A portion of the treated product water would be pumped upstream via a major conveyance pipeline generally paralleling the Santa Ana River to the OCWD spreading basins where it would be allowed to percolate into the Orange County Groundwater Basin. The treated water will also be injected into the ground to create an expanded seawater intrusion barrier. A small portion of the treated water will be made available to supplement the irrigation demands of OCWD's existing GAP. Some of the treated water may also be made iavailable for use as industrial process water, irrigation water or for other approved uses in industrial areas, business parks, golf courses, and parks located near the Santa Ana River pipeline alignment. 8.5 Potential Uses of Recycled Water While the City recognizes the potential uses of recycled water in its community, such as landscape irrigation, parks, industrial and other uses, the OCWD does not have the recycled water infrastructure to support the use of recycled water. The community is essentially built-out, beginning development in the 1950's. The cost-effectiveness analyses that have been conducted throughout the years regarding recycled water infrastructure have not shown beneficial. Therefore, the City supports, encourages and contributes to the continued development of recycled water and potential uses throughout the region through the GWRS. 8.6 2000 Projected and Potential Uses of Recycled Water The City's 2000 UWMP projected that by 2005 the City recycled water from OCWD's Green Acres Project would be available to the City of Huntington Beach for irrigation I use. The City had projected 400 AFY of recycled water through the year 2020. Some infrastructure was and is currently in place in anticipation of the expansion of the project into the City. However, the expansion did not occur and recycled water was unavailable to the City. The City does not project any recycled water use for subsequent years, and currently does not utilize or serve directly applied recycled water to any of its customers or for municipal uses.

It is recognized that broad public acceptance of recycled water requires continued education and public involvement. However, planning for most of the recycled water available is being directed toward replenishment of the Basin and improvements in groundwater quality. As a user of , groundwater, the City supports the efforts of OCWD and OCSD to utilize recycled water as a primary resource for groundwater recharge in Orange County. Public Education , The City participates in the MWDOC public education and school education programs, j which include extensive sections on water recycling. MWDOC's water use efficiency public information programs are a partnership with agencies throughout the county. Through a variety of public information programs, MWDOC reaches the public, including those in the City, with accurate information regarding present and future water supplies, the demands for a suitable quantity and quality of water, including recycled water, and the importance of implementing water efficient techniques and behaviors. , Through MWDOC, water education programs have reached thousands of students with grade-specific programs that include information on recycled water. Between September 2004 and June 2005, school education presentations were made in six City schools , reaching over 1,900 students. One school is expected to participate between September 2005 and June 2006 with over 1,900 students in attendance. Financial Incentives , The implementation of recycled water projects involves a substantial upfront capital investment for planning studies, environmental impact reports, engineering design and construction before there is any recycled water to market. For some water agencies, these capital costs exceed the short-term expense of purchasing additional imported water supplies from Metropolitan. The establishment of new supplemental funding sources through federal, state and ' regional programs now provide significant financial incentives for local agencies to develop and make use of recycled water. Potential sources of funding include federal, i state and local funding opportunities. These funding sources include the USBR, California Proposition 13 Water Bond, and Metropolitan Local Resources Program. These funding opportunities may be sought by the City or possibly more appropriately by regional agencies. The City will continue to support seeking funding for regional water recycling projects and programs. , ....._..................................................................__........................................____.._........................................_........................._........_....................................._..................._...................._....................................................................._......_......_.._...._.._...................... . i Final Craft 111 1105 - , City of Huntington Beach 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update Section 8 8.8 Optimizing Recycled Water Use In Orange County, the majority of recycled water is used for irrigating golf courses, parks, schools, business and communal landscaping. However, future recycled water use can increase by requiring dual piping in new developments, retrofitting existing landscaped areas and constructing recycled water pumping stations and transmission mains to reach areas far from the treatment plants. Gains in implementing some of these projects have been made throughout the county; however, the additional costs, large energy requirements and facilities create such projects very expensive to pursue. To optimize the use of recycled water, cost/benefit analysis must be conducted for each potential project. Once again, this brings about the discussion on technical and economic feasibility of a recycled water project requiring a relative comparison to alternative water supply options. For the City, analysis has shown capital costs exceed the short-term expense of purchasing additional imported water supplies from Metropolitan. Except for some limited irrigation expansion, it is not anticipated that direct reuse projects will be pursued by the City. The City will continue to conduct cost/benefit analysis when feasible for recycled water projects, and seek creative solutions and a balance to recycled water use, in coordination with OCWD, Metropolitan and other cooperative agencies. These include solutions for funding, regulatory requirements, institutional arrangements and public acceptance. ........................................................................................................................ ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 8-7 Final Draft 11121105 1 1 1 t APPENDIX A CALIFORNIA URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING ACT 1 1 1 1 II 1 ' 1 I � � 1 1 I 1 i Established: AB 797, Klehs, 1983 Amended: AB 2661, Klehs, 1990 AB 11X, Filante, 1991 AB 1869, Speier, 1991 AB 892,Frazee, 1993 SB 1017, McCorquodale, 1994 AB 2853, Cortese, 1994 AB 1845, Cortese, 1995 SB 1011,Polanco, 1995 AB 2552,Bates, 2000 SB 553,Kelley, 2000 SB 610, Costa, 2001 AB 901, Daucher, 2001 SB 672, Machado, 2001 SB 1348, Brulte, 2002 SB 1384, Costa, 2002 SB 1518, Torlakson, 2002 AB 105, Wiggins, 2004 SB 318,Alpert, 2004 CALIFORNIA WATER CODE DIVISION 6 PART 2.6. URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING � i CHAPTER 1. GENERAL DECLARATION AND POLICY 10610. This part shall be known and may be cited as the "Urban Water Management Planning Act." 10610.2. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The waters of the state are a limited and renewable resource subject to ever-increasing demands. (2) The conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies are of statewide concern; however, the planning for that use and the implementation of those plans can best be accomplished at the local level. (3) A long-term, reliable supply of water is essential to protect the productivity of California's businesses and economic climate. (4) As part of its long-range planning activities, every urban water supplier should make every effort to ensure the appropriate level of reliability in its water service sufficient to meet the needs of its various categories of customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years. (5) Public health issues have been raised over a number of contaminants that have been identified in certain local and imported water supplies. (6) Implementing effective water management strategies, including groundwater storage projects and recycled water projects, may A-1 Final Draft 11121105 require specific water quality and salinity targets for meeting groundwater basins water quality objectives and promoting beneficial use of recycled water. (7) Water quality regulations are becoming an increasingly important factor in water agencies' selection of raw water sources, treatment alternatives, and modifications to existing treatment facilities. (8) Changes in drinking water quality standards may also impact the usefulness of water supplies and may ultimately impact supply reliability. (9) The quality of source supplies can have a significant impact on water management strategies and supply reliability. , (b) This part is intended to provide assistance to water agencies in carrying out their long-term resource planning responsibilities to ensure adequate water supplies to meet existing and future demands for water. 10610.4. The Legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the state as follows: (a) The management of urban water demands and efficient use of water shall be actively pursued to protect both the people of the state and their water resources. (b) The management of urban water demands and efficient use of urban water supplies shall be a guiding criterion in public decisions. (c) Urban water suppliers shall be required to develop water management plans to actively pursue the efficient use of available supplies. CHAPTER 2. DEFINITIONS 10611.
