Hargreaves, Best Best & Krieger SUBJECT: Interim Groundwater Recharge Program RECOMMENDATION: That the city council approve San Jacinto's participation in the Interim Groundwater Recharge Program by pledging future recharge credits in an amount not to exceed 243 acre feet and authorize the city manager to execute the "Memorandum of Understanding: Interim Water Supply Plan: Upper San Jacinto Sub-Basins" in substantially the form as submitted with this report. 111 BACKGROUND: The City is engaged in a long-term project with neighboring public agencies to remedy the serious overdraft of groundwater resources in the Hemet/San Jacinto Basin. It is anticipated that within two years, that effort will result in a comprehensive groundwater management plan. A key element of the plan will be a recharge program through which a substantial amount of water will be imported and recharged into the groundwater basin to offset excessive pumping. Eastern Municipal Water District has proposed that the public agencies collectively implement an Interim Recharge Program to initiate groundwater recharge immediately, and to continue recharge operations until the Groundwater Management Plan becomes operational. The interim program would take advantage of relatively cheap water as it becomes available, with a goal of recharging 6,000 acre-feet per year. (By comparison, the management plan, once fully operational, is anticipated to recharge 10,000+ acre- feet per year). The parties have agreed to share the burden of the interim recharge program as follows: Eastern Municipal Water District would contribute $883,000 for the purchase of 0 recharge water; Appr als City Manager: Finance Director: Lake Hemet Municipal Water District would contribute $828,000; • City of Hemet would reduce its pumping from the Upper San Jacinto Basins by 1072 acre feet (current value $345,000) by shifting its production to other less- impacted basins; and San Jacinto would pledge 243 acre feet (current value $78,260) of its future recharge credits. In essence, San Jacinto would defer its $78,260 obligation for five to ten years until the groundwater management plan is fully operational and San Jacinto exhausts recharge credits it is anticipated to accrue during the first few years of the plan. Also, as part of the MOU, LHMWD, Hemet and San Jacinto agree not to use their Fruitvale entitlements from EMWD during the summer months, to help alleviate a potential shortage in EMWD's production capacity. San Jacinto reserves the right to receive its Fruitvale entitlement (34 acre feet) in the event that the city is unable to supply its needs from its own facilities. Because water is becoming increasingly scarce in Southern California, and because the Valley has limited infrastructure at this time to recharge, it would be very advantageous to start recharge operations immediately to fully utilize cheap water and existing recharge capacity. Any water that is recharged remains "in the bank" as an important hedge against future shortages. Additionally, addressing groundwater overdraft requires cooperation of all four municipal water agencies. San Jacinto's failure to participate in the interim program may diminish the spirit of cooperation necessary to accomplish the Groundwater Management Plan's long term goals. BUDGETARY IMPACT: No immediate impact. Payment of the City's $78,260 share will be deferred for five to ten years. ATTACHMENTS: Memorandum of Understanding: Interim Water Supply Plan; Upper San Jacinto Sub- Basins. • MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING INTERIM WATER SUPPLY PLAN UPPER SAN JACINTO SUB-BASINS This Memorandum Of Understanding; Interim Water Supply Plan, Upper San Jacinto Sub-Basins ("MOU"), is hereby entered into this day of , 2004 by and between the EASTERN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, a California municipal water district ("EMWD"), LAKE HEMET MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, a California municipal water district ("LHMWD"), CITY OF HEMET, a California general law city ("Hemet"), and CITY OF SAN JACINTO, a California general law city ("San Jacinto"), (collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Parties"), based on the following facts: RECITALS A. The Parties have entered into that "Memorandum of Understanding to Work Cooperatively to Promote Conjunctive Use Projects and Programs in Upper San Jacinto River Basins" dated June 19, 2001 (the "Conjunctive Use MOU"). The purpose of the Conjunctive Use MOU is to encourage cooperation among the Parties to facilitate and support local groundwater management efforts and conjunctive use programs particularly those that could increase dry-year water supplies, within the safe-yield and without the overdraft of San Jacinto groundwater basins. B. The Parties have also entered into that "Agreement to Develop a Groundwater Monitoring Program in the Hemet/San Jacinto Management Area" dated 2003 ("GWM Program"). The purpose of the GWM Program is to measure and monitor groundwater levels to assist in the accurate evaluation of conditions of overdraft and the evaluation of operational safe yield in the Hemet/San Jacinto Management Area. C. Furthermore, in February of 2004, the Parties each approved a statement of principles entitled "Principles for Water Management" (the "PWM") with regard to the Hemet and San Jacinto Basins. The PWM establishes the framework from which the Parties will develop a Water Management Plan for the Hemet and San Jacinto Basins. D. The Conjunctive Use MOU and the PWM recognize that the Parties, individually and collectively, have an interest in managing and preserving the ground and surface water resources within the Hemet and San Jacinto Basins in order to alleviate an escalating condition of overdraft within those Basins. E. Through the ongoing GWM Program conducted by the Parties, it has been discovered that well levels within certain portions of the Canyon and Intake sub-areas of the San Jacinto Basin ("Upper San Jacinto Sub-Basins") have declined more than the • Parties had originally projected. This fact suggests that the condition of overdraft in the Upper San Jacinto Sub-Basins may be deteriorating more rapidly than anticipated, RIV#4814-0689-7152 v4 -1- making a collective effort to address the situation prudent prior to establishment of the Water Management Plan. 4111/ F. Therefore, in furtherance of the goals stated in the Conjunctive Use MOU and the PWM, it is the purpose and intent of the Parties in entering into this MOU to provisionally address the deteriorating situation by providing interim stabilization of the Upper San Jacinto Sub-Basins through the application of approximately 6,000 acre feet of direct and indirect groundwater recharge during calendar year 2004. To implement this goal, the Parties pledge to undertake the following actions during the calendar year 2004. OPERATIVE PROVISIONS NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made and recited herein, the Parties do hereby enter into this Memorandum of Understanding setting forth their pledges, commitments, understandings and appropriate limiting conditions, as follows: ARTICLE 1.0 - EMWD's PLEDGES AND CONDITIONS 1.1 Pledges by EMWD.

Much Metropolitan Water of the funds needed for these important projects will come from the capacity fees District of So.Calif paid for by new development, but we will also use property tax revenues, Randy A.Record municipal bonds, and grants and loans from state and federal sources. •Treasurer Joseph J. Kuchler.CPA Some of these projects are non-traditional water and sewer projects rendering opportunities to increase water supply and its reliability. This is achieved through Legal Counsel Redwine and Sherrill managing salinity and by using the local groundwater basins to store excess water that is available during wet years from state and federal water sources. Even through these projects are costlier than conventional alternatives, they provide tremendous regional and statewide benefits by eliminating the imposition of local demands on the existing over-burdened state and federal water supply system. Implementation of such projects with local revenues will cause a significant financial burden on our constituents. The regional and statewide benefits gained through these non-traditional programs justify the need to seek state and federal funding for these efforts. The earmarks for the 2005 appropriation bills are now being developed. The submission process has been shortened because of the election year and we must have our project requests in to the sponsoring congressperson by March 5th. We are requesting support on four projects for next year's budget. Two of these projects, another groundwater desalination plant and the design of a regional brine line, have been authorized and received appropriations in previous fiscal years. We are asking for continuing appropriation. The third and fourth projects are new starts. One request is to provide for a conjunctive use program in the Hemet/San Jacinto area, which will permit the recharge of high quality • Mailing Address: Post Office Box 8300 Penis.

These basins are severely over drafted and are declining at an alarming rate. The last project is to expand and pressurize our recycled water system to provide recycled water to meet the increased demands by municipal and industrial users. This alleviates demand on imported potable water. EMWD already has the fourth highest level of recycled water sales in the entire state and use of recycled water allows us to use our precious supply of potable water for domestic use rather than irrigation. For your convenience, I have enclosed a project description brochure and a sample letter to your local congressperson on the projects that would have the most benefit to your agency. I would ask that you forward this letter via fax to this congressperson to express your support for our projects. The fax number is included in the sample letter. Thank you for your support and help in allowing us to better serve your community. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (909) 928-6109. Sincerely, Richard R.

EMWD is the major water and wastewater service provider in our rapidly growing area. They are planning on constructing over $400 million dollars of new and replacement facilities in the next five years. These important projects will provide for the reliable water supply and wastewater services that are needed for our community to grow, and will help drought proof our region and reduce our area's reliance on imported water. One project that is particularly important for our region is EMWD's Hemet/San Jacinto Conjunctive Use Program. This program will develop the infrastructure needed to recharge the San Jacinto groundwater sub basin with State Water Project water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. EMWD is seeking assistance in funding two projects of the Conjunctive Use Program. The integrated Recharge and Recovery Project will expand an existing groundwater recharge program in the San Jacinto Sub basin. Benefits of this project include minimizing future demand on the Colorado River Aqueduct system and reduction of peak summer demands on the State Water Project. The second project, the San Jacinto Basin Long-Term Storage Program, will construct the infrastructure needed to recharge 45,000 acre-feet of untreated State Water Project water for use in the event of drought.

The second project, the San Jacinto Basin Long-Term Storage Program, will construct the infrastructure needed to recharge 45,000 acre-feet of untreated State Water Project water for use in the event of drought. This project will help drought proof the Santa Ana River Watershed and decrease demand on the State Water Project during periods of extreme drought. • 5,in Li(intn CA. 92583 • Tel: 909,/054-7337 • Fax: 909/654-3728 April 2, 2004 Letter of Support —EMWD We hope you agree these projects are important for southern California and will join us in supporting EMWD's request for federal funding of their Hemet/San Jacinto Conjunctive Use Program.
