Introduction & Overview Welcome Self Introductions Lunch Options Workshop Purpose & Objectives Workshop Agenda
3
Workshop Purpose and Objectiv es Purpose: Acquaint Board members and others with agency water supply needs and potential IRCUP benefits in advance of UMRWA IRCUP Collaborative Decision Making Plan process and possible Moke River Forum ‘Inter-regional’ Planning Grant Objectives are for Attendees to: Learn basic water needs of Member Agencies Be familiar with San Joaquin water resource issues See potential benefits of IRCUP concept Recognize environmental and other considerations Know planned/anticipated IRCUP ‘next steps’

Workshop Agenda I.IRCUP Basic Concept II.MAC Member water needs and issues III.San Joaquin water needs and issues IV.How IRCUP May Help address needs –IRCUP scope and size options –Environmental and other considerations V.Ongoing and Next Steps VI.Conclude Workshop ( Board mtg @ 1:00 )
5
IRCUP Basic Concept Mokelumne River stretches from High Sierra to Delta, links MAC Region with Eastern San Joaquin (ESJ) Region ESJ’s depleted Groundwater Basin creates ‘conjunctive use’ opportunity (i.e. coordinated management of surface and ground water supplies via ‘water bank’) Potential benefits: -MAC Region: Increased water supply and reliability -EBMUD: Supplemental supply - drought protection -ESJ Region: Groundwater basin recharge IRCUP is ‘inter-regional’ by involving both MAC and ESJ Regions
6
IRCUP Basic Concept Two ‘operations’ – wet years & dry years Wet years ־MAC members: surface water diversions ־ESJ Region: ‘in-lieu’ of direct recharge ־‘Bank’ excess flows in SJ Groundwater Basin Dry years -MAC members: surface water diversions and banked ‘exchange’ water -ESJ Region: extracts water stored in GW basin

EBMUD Water Needs & Issues
28
EBMUD Water Needs and Issues Water Supply Management Program 2040 Current Status: - Revising PEIR to address Court Order Program Elements (adopted by EBMUD Board in 2009) : - Rationing - Conservation - Recycling - Supplemental Supply Options: a)Water Transfers b)Groundwater Banking / Exchange (various locations) c)Desalination d) Reservoir Enlargement (various locations) The IRCUP can be considered a combination of items b&d and was framed in the WSMP 2040 as a Regional Up-Country Project option

San Joaquin Water Needs & Issues
34
2005 Water Use 2030 Land Use
35
San Joaquin Water Needs & Issues 7 Major cities & towns 9 Water districts & agencies Large agricultural community Rapid urban growth, increasing demands Complex water management Lack of adequate surface water supplies Heavy reliance on groundwater
36
Ground Water Elevations
37
SJ Water Needs & Issues Groundwater Management Area – portion of San Joaquin County that overlies the Eastern San Joaquin County, Cosumnes, and Tracy Sub-Basins
38
San Joaquin Water Needs & Issues Identified Water Management Strategies: Reduce Water Demand (conservation/recycling) Improve Operational Efficiency and Transfers (conveyance, reoperation, transfer) Increase Water Supply (conjunctive use, desal, surface storage) Improve Water Quality (water treatment, GW remediation) Practice Resources Stewardship (ag land, economic incentives, ecosystem mgt, protect recharge areas) Other Resource Management Strategies (Regional partnerships, imported water, land use planning, flood management)
39
San Joaquin Water Needs & Issues Alternative Project Elements: Max. Demand Side Actions Maintain water levels at 1986-1992 levels –140-160 kaf/yr –fluctuates around 1986 water level Utilize multiple sources & recharge areas Maximize in-lieu supply Program EIR: 4 equal alternatives to achieve 140-160 kaf/yr
40
Conjunctive Use Projects
41
Groundwater Basin Alternative A Alternative B Alternative C Alternative D No Project Alternative –Continued decline Beneficial for: –Groundwater levels –Groundwater recharge –Land Subsidence –Wells –Surface Water –Reduce Salt Intrusion
42
San Joaquin Water Needs & Issues San Joaquin ‘Next Steps’: Significant Regional Consensus No Single Project will Solve SJC Problem Maximum Demand Side Actions Up to 140,000 to 160,000 acre-feet of New Conjunctive Supply on Average Annually Help Stop Overdraft and Saline Intrusion Possible Flood Control/Stormwater Components Inter-Regional Program/Project Participation
43
How IRCUP May Help Address Inter-regional Needs
44
Summary: Inter-regional Water Needs Regional Component Basis of NeedTiming Amador Meet future demands of planned growth Year 2030 Calaveras Meet future demands in west county and West Point, provide storage, and mitigate groundwater overdraft As soon as possible East Bay MUD Secure supplemental dry year supply (drought mitigation) Year 2030 +/- (current assumption based on implementation order) San Joaquin Address groundwater basin overdraft / salt water intrusion As soon as possible How IRCUP May Help Meet Needs
45
Size and Scope Options for IRCUP Conjunctive use benefits and impacts vary depending on size/scope of IRCUP, e.g. - Use only existing facilities - Minor/moderate expansion of existing facilities - Build new/additional storage reservoir Water supply benefits, costs and impacts correspond to size/scope of IRCUP Facilitated stakeholder discussions should yield good understanding of agency needs and stakeholder interests How IRCUP May Help Meet Needs
46
Upstream Reservoirs Camanche Res. Potential Off Stream Reservoirs PG&E Tributary Reservoirs Folsom South Canal Freeport Pipeline (100 mgd) Potential New Water Conveyance Pipelines Mokelumne Aqueducts Service to Ione / Camanche (AWA) Service to Camanche / Valley Springs Area (CCWD) Groundwater Basin IRCUP (Forum) Extract Stored Water For use in SJC or exchange with others Mokelumne River Directly to EBMUD (alternative to in lieu) Groundwater Basin Recharge Facilities
47
How IRCUP May Help Meet Needs Environmental & Other Considerations (Considerations listed below are illustrative and represent an incomplete list) Fish & Wildlife Fish habitat (downstream and/or upstream of project components) Fish passage components Hatchery program expansion / enhancements Cold water pool expansion / cold water releases Habitat creation, protection, enhancements Recreation Public access features; trail system components Fishing and rafting venues (put-ins, take-outs) Facilities to support recreational uses
48
How IRCUP May Help Meet Needs Cultural resources / Native American issues Preservation and documentation of cultural resource features Historic Resources Artifact preservation and restoration Documentation programs / historic preservation assessments Other Considerations Water rights (resolve long-standing water rights disputes) Inter-regional approach and ‘right-sizing’ facilities may reduce the impacts of agency-specific stand-alone efforts Capital and ongoing financing Operations agreements
49
Ongoing and Next Steps UMRWA – Planned 2-step process to seek MAC Stakeholder IRCUP consensus Begin August/Sept - Develop Collaborative Decision Making Plan (Prop 84 Planning Grant) 2011/2012 - Conduct IRCUP ‘facilitated negotiation’ per Decision Making Plan (new grant) Mokelumne River Forum – Work Plan Outreach to potential IRCUP stakeholders Planning Grant proposal for further study
50
Ongoing and Next Steps UMRWA ‘Collaborative Decision Making Plan’ Perform Conflict Assessment to determine needs and interests of MAC Region stakeholders Develop, review and select preferred collaborative decision making process option Develop joint problem statement which addresses stakeholder needs and interests Prepare Collaborative Decision Making Plan to include facilitation requirements, info needs, ground rules, support resources, and more
51
Mokelumne Forum IRCUP Work Plan Outreach Efforts - Interest Groups: Environmental, Agricultural, Business, etc. communities - Community / Electeds (political officials, recreation interest, Native Americans) - Alternating Bimonthly Forum Meetings and Subgroup Teleconferences (next meeting August 2011) Deliverables (by end of 2011) - Re-worked / revisited IRCUP Terms & Conditions Attempt to have Board approvals / integrate IRCUP interest groups principles as attachments - DWR Planning Grant Application to further study of IRCUP concept (Prop 84 / Round 2)
52
Conclude Workshop Thank you…… UMRWA Board meeting begins at 1:00 Lunches provided for those who made prior arrangements
