Draft Program Environmental Impact Report Public Meeting November 30, 2011

California Constitution ARTICLE X WATER SECTION 2. “It is hereby declared that because of the conditions prevailing in this State the general welfare requires that the water resources of the State be put to beneficial use to the fullest extent of which they are capable…”

Present a summary of environmental impacts related to the proposed Central Groundwater Storage Plan Receive additional stakeholder input on the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report Discuss next steps Meeting Objectives

Describe Program location, goals and objectives Review Program description and water supply options Present Storage Overview Present Alternatives Considered Present a summary of potential environmental impacts Review impact findings Receive additional stakeholder input and discuss relevant issues Review CEQA process and present next steps Today’s Agenda

Program Location Primarily encompasses the Central Basin bounded as follows: The southeast by the San Joaquin Hills and Santa Ana Mountains The northwest by the Santa Monica Mountains The west by the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone and the West Coast Basin The northeast by the Whittier Fault Zone

Program Goals Implement a water resources program to improve water supply reliability throughout the Central Basin. Preserves local decision-making authority and local water rights Insulates local resources from the full impact of potential regional and statewide droughts, or long term water supply emergencies Promote improved Central Basin water management through: Groundwater management System improvement Further integration of surface water and groundwater supplies

Program Objectives Provide affordable, high-quality water supplies to support a diversified and stable economy and preserve environmental values in the Basin. Improve Basin-wide water supply reliability under dry-year hydrologic conditions and extended droughts. Improve local and regional control of water resources in the Basin. Increase flexibility to use alternative sources of supply during droughts or emergencies. Develop guidelines to encourage efficient water use. Ensure that water policy and programs in California and elsewhere, that are outside of the CBMWD’s control, do not disproportionately impact low income or minority populations within the CBMWD’s service area.

Preferred Program Description Establish a water management and storage program for the Central Groundwater Basin Once fully implemented, the program(s) will use a portion of the available storage space in the Basin Acquire water that will be stored in the Basin Storage would generally serve short-term carryover, emergency and the pre-delivery needs of local water agencies, purveyors and their customers

Water Supply Options Water for the proposed Program may come from a combination of supplies, including but not limited to: Imported Water Recycled Water Contaminated Groundwater Remediation and Recovery Conservation Gray Water Storm Water Capture Desalination

Storage Overview Total Storage Needed: 300,800 AF Includes 53,000 AF for Other Agencies (e.g., Cities of Compton, Long Beach and Los Angeles) Short-term Carryover Emergency Pre-delivered Other Agencies

Short-term Carryover Specified in the Judgment Helps the Central Basin pumpers balance seasonal demand peaks with available supplies and address operational issues. 40% of 217,367 AFY 87,000 AF Short-term Carryover

Water needed in the aftermath of a regional emergency 6 months of potable water allocation 50% of 80,400 AFY 40,200 AF Emergency Supplies Emergency

Pre-delivered Meet potential 50 percent reduction in treated imported water allocation for three consecutive years 50% of 80,400 AFY for 3 years 120,600 AF Pre-delivered

Alternatives Considered Alternative 1: Groundwater Storage Considers groundwater storage utilizing imported water, recycled water and stormwater for surface spreading and subsurface injection. Alternative 2: Aggressive Conservation Emphasizes water conservation and gray-water use to reduce water demands. Alternative 3: On Demand Treatment Emphasizes use of more treated recycled water, seawater desalination, brackish water desalination and treatment of contaminated groundwater as potential supply options.

Comparison of Alternatives Program Objectives Groundwater Storage Aggressive Conservation On-Demand Treatment No Project Affordable/High Quality Water Reliability Local Control Flexibility Water Use Efficiency Environmental Justice

Impact Assessment Methodology Maximum Constraining Facilities (a.k.a. most conservative analysis) Portfolio of 28 options developed for implementation of Groundwater Storage Alternative e.g., Imported water delivered via MWD system injected into Central Basin using wells or percolated using spreading basins e.g., Divert stormwater and deliver to subsurface infiltration cisterns Determine most “environmentally impactful” infrastructure for each option e.g., 50 acres of land required for spreading basins, up to 30 feet deep needed to spread imported water Assume each supply option (i.e., imported, recycled, stormwater) would supply 100% of water needed to realize the proposed Program need

Impact Categories Considered in the Draft PEIR Aesthetics Agricultural and Forestry Air Quality and Green House Gases Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology and Soils Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Noise Parks and Recreation Utilities and Public Services (Schools) Environmental Justice

Impact Findings Less than Significant Impacts Agricultural and Forestry Land Use and Planning Environmental Justice Less than Significant Impacts with Mitigation Aesthetic Resources Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology and Soils Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Noise Parks and Recreation Utilities and Public Services (Schools)

Impact Findings (continued) Significant and Unavoidable Impacts Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Although mitigation measures have been identified to the extent feasible, for all of the potentially significant impacts of the proposed Program, one impact would remain significant and unavoidable. The proposed Program would result in a significant and unavoidable impact to air quality during construction of infrastructure required to implement the Program.
