No City Council Member may accept, solicit, or direct any contribution from an agent of the party during the same time frame. This prohibition commences when an item involving the entitlement has been placed on the City Council’s agenda for a public meeting, when the City Council Members knows the action is within the City Council’s jurisdiction and it is reasonably foreseeable that it will come before the City Council as a decisionmaker, or when the proceeding is before the City Council for its decision.

No party to a City proceeding, or agent, shall make a contribution to a Council Member during the proceeding and for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered by the City. Prior to rendering a decision on a City proceeding, any Council Member who received contribution of more than $500 within the preceding 12 months from any party, or who received any donations from an agent, to a proceeding shall disclose that fact on the record of the proceeding, and shall be disqualified from participating in the proceeding. However, if any Council Member receives a contribution that otherwise would require disqualification, and returns the contribution within 30 days of knowing about the contribution and the relevant proceeding, the Council Member shall be permitted to participate in the proceeding. If you believe that these provisions apply to you or a Council Member, please inform the City Clerk at the earliest possible opportunity.

Quarterly Review of Pension Stabilization Trust.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the report.
Sample Motion: I move to receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The purpose of the Pension Stabilization Trust is to accumulate, hold, and distribute pension plan assets for the exclusive benefit of retiree pensions within the meaning of IRS Code Section 115. Plan assets are irrevocable and may not be used for any purpose other than the purpose of the Trust. Withdrawal of plan assets is not permitted except to transfer to another trust or to reimburse the City for pension costs paid. in establishing the Pension Trust is to control long-term costs and volatility in the annual operating budget. The trust provides more flexibility for the City to level out contributions and mitigate year-to-year contribution volatility.
Plan contributions transfer assets to the Trust, and accordingly, plan assets are not carried on the City's books and are not subject to the City's investments policy. Discretionary Trustee Benefit Trust Company (BTC), with the advice of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Consulting Group, actively manages plan assets consistent with the Investment Policy Statement. The City's individual trust account is part of a larger Multiple Employer Trust administered by Keenan Financial Services and BTC, referred to as the California Public Entity Pension Stabilization Trust. BTC also provides the City with monthly, quarterly (Attachment A), and annual statements of activity of the City's account.
The Pension Stabilization Trust utilizes a Board of Authority that provides management and oversight of the Trust with participation by one individual per public agency. The fees are asset-based, paid monthly, deducted directly from the Trust account, and totaled 30 bps1 annually. This is competitive with other comparable plans. 1 Basis points pertain to interest rates. One basis point is equal to one one-hundredth of one percentage point (0.01%). Therefore, 100 basis points would be equivalent to 1%.

However, with limited internal staffing resources, the number of grants the City can pursue is constricted, and staff often face challenges in managing awarded grants alongside their day-to-day responsibilities and Work Plan commitments. Grant compliance requirements such as tracking expenditures, submitting progress reports, and meeting program deadlines place an additional administrative burden on staff capacity. Given these constraints, there is a growing need for specialized assistance to identify, apply for, and manage grant opportunities effectively.

Scope of Work
1. Needs Assessment (Meetings with Department Heads to review priorities and funding needs): We learn about the client at the outset of the contract by conducting an in-depth Needs Assessment. Each client is assigned a lead Project Manager. The Project Manager communicates regularly with the client and on an ongoing basis. This relationship building is Sample questions asked during the Needs Assessment:
a) List and describe any program initiatives or priority projects. b) What needs, projects, or content areas would you like to target for funding? You can list specific projects or general areas in which you have funding needs. c) List any grants for which you are considering applying or have decided to apply. In addition, please list what kind of grant-writing support would be helpful for each grant. d) List past grants that your agency has received.
e) List past grant applications you would like to revise and submit again.

3. Grant Research and Identification: is available and what we recommend would fit their situation. By regularly tracking grant announcements we are able to present these grant opportunities to our clients as soon as they are released. California Consulting will provide you with a Grant Activity Report monthly, detailing the grants available, grants in progress and grants submitted. You will also be provided with available grant opportunities on an ongoing basis.
4. Client Commitment: When identifying grants that meet your needs and funding priorities, your Project Manager will advise you of the estimated time commitment required from your staff.
5. Grant Preparation Process: When your staff and California Consulting agree to pursue a grant, we will develop a checklist and schedule. The checklist and schedule will include what things you will be responsible for and when we will need them submitted. We need your staff involv
to. The Project Manager will provide you with grant portions along the way to review for content accuracy. The more engaged you are able to be in this process, the higher quality the application was successful, we use it as a guide for future grants.
Below is a list of general tasks for our grant process:
a. Create a task timeline with due dates
b.
c. Review similar successful grant applications and apply where possible d. Collect information on the project
e. Meet with staff to create an accurate scope of work, budget, timeline, narratives, and cost analysis
f. Obtain letters of support when necessary

h. Incorporate staff edits in final drafts
i. Submit completed application timely
j. Monitor funding agency until grant awards are announced.

We are successful in this area due to our thorough quality assurance measures. Our Grant Mangers conduct group meetings with all Project Managers regularly. In addition, our Grant Managers meet individually with each Project Manager to review each client. These meetings onal
grants may be a good fit. We ensure the best quality product before the grant application is submitted.
7. Facilitation of Partnership Meetings: Our Project Managers will arrange and schedule meetings with key personnel to review all grants prior to submission to ensure application accuracy.
8. Timely Submission: We create a precise timeline to ensure the grant is submitted on time.
This timeline not only captures the submission deadline, but we create other deadlines in order to obtain the information needed for a quality submission. We believe if everyone is on the same page and is aware of what needs to be done, we can limit scrambling at the last minute.
9. Funding Agency Monitoring: California Consulting will monitor the Funding Agency until grant awards are announced.
10. Grant Administration: Some grants require post award compliance, reporting and administration. California Consulting will prepare required agency reports and submit them by the required due date.

Throughout this Coverage Part the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer to the insurance company shown in the Declarations. "Policy period", as used in this Coverage Part, means the period from the effective date of this Coverage Part to the expiration date of the Coverage Part as stated in the Declarations or the date of cancellation, whichever is earlier.
The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such under Section C. Who Is An Insured.

A. COVERAGES
1. Business Liability Coverage (Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal And Advertising Injury) Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" to which this insurance applies. We will have the right and duty to defend the insured against any "suit" seeking those damages. However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any "suit" seeking damages for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal and advertising injury" to which this insurance does not apply.
We may, at our discretion, investigate any "occurrence" or offense and settle any claim or "suit" that may result. But:
(1) The amount we will pay for damages is limited as described in Section D. Liability And Medical Expenses Limits Of Insurance; and
(2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments, settlements or medical expenses to which this insurance applies.
No other obligation or liability to pay sums or perform acts or services is covered unless explicitly provided for under Coverage Extension - Supplementary Payments.
b. This insurance applies:
(1) To "bodily injury" and "property damage" only if:
(a) The “bodily injury” or “property damage” is caused by an “occurrence” that takes place in the “coverage territory”;
(b) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" occurs during the policy period; and (c) Prior to the policy period, no insured listed under Paragraph 1. of Section C. Who Is An Insured and no "employee" authorized by you to give or receive notice of an "occurrence" or claim, knew that the "bodily injury" or "property damage" had occurred, in whole or in part. If such a listed insured or authorized "employee" knew, prior to the policy period, that the "bodily injury" or "property damage" occurred, then any continuation, change or resumption of such "bodily injury" or "property damage" during or after the policy period will be deemed to have been known prior to the policy period. (2) To "personal and advertising injury" caused by an offense arising out of your business, but only if the offense was committed in the "coverage territory" during the policy period. c. "Bodily injury" or "property damage" will be deemed to have been known to have occurred at the earliest time when any insured listed under Paragraph 1. of Section C. Who Is An Insured or any "employee" authorized by you to give or receive notice of an "occurrence" or claim:
(1) Reports all, or any part, of the "bodily injury" or "property damage" to us or any other insurer; (2) Receives a written or verbal demand or claim for damages because of the "bodily injury" or "property damage"; or

d. Damages because of "bodily injury" include damages claimed by any person or organization for care, loss of services or death resulting at any time from the "bodily injury". e. Incidental Medical Malpractice
(1) "Bodily injury" arising out of the rendering of or failure to render professional health care services as a physician, dentist, nurse, emergency medical technician or paramedic shall be deemed to be caused by an "occurrence", but only if:
(a) The physician, dentist, nurse, emergency medical technician or paramedic is employed by you to provide such services; and
(b) You are not engaged in the business or occupation of providing such services. (2) For the purpose of determining the limits of insurance for incidental medical malpractice, any act or omission together with all related acts or omissions in the furnishing of these services to any one person will be considered one "occurrence".
2. Medical Expenses
Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay medical expenses as described below for "bodily injury" caused by an accident:
(1) On premises you own or rent;
(2) On ways next to premises you own or rent; or
(3) Because of your operations;
provided that:
(1) The accident takes place in the "coverage territory" and during the policy period; (2) The expenses are incurred and reported to us within three years of the date of the accident; and (3) The injured person submits to examination, at our expense, by physicians of our choice as often as we reasonably require.
b. We will make these payments regardless of fault. These payments will not exceed the applicable limit of insurance. We will pay reasonable expenses for:
(1) First aid administered at the time of an accident;
(2) Necessary medical, surgical, x-ray and dental services, including prosthetic devices; and (3) Necessary ambulance, hospital, professional nursing and funeral services.
3. Coverage Extension - Supplementary Payments
a. We will pay, with respect to any claim we investigate or settle, or any "suit" against an insured we defend:
(1) All expenses we incur.
(2) Up to $1,000 for the cost of bail bonds required because of accidents or traffic law violations arising out of the use of any vehicle to which Business Liability Coverage for "bodily injury" applies. We do not have to furnish these bonds.
(3) The cost of appeal bonds or bonds to release attachments, but only for bond amounts within the applicable limit of insurance. We do not have to furnish, finance, arrange for, guarantee, or collateralize these bonds, whether the collateralization is characterized as premium or not. (4) All reasonable expenses incurred by the insured at our request to assist us in the investigation or defense of the claim or "suit", including actual loss of earnings up to $500 a day because of time off from work. (5) All court costs taxed against the insured in the "suit". However, such costs do not include attorneys’ fees, attorneys’ expenses, witness or expert fees, or any other expenses of a party taxed against the insured. (6) Prejudgment interest awarded against the insured on that part of the judgment we pay. If we make an offer to pay the applicable limit of insurance, we will not pay any prejudgment interest based on that period of time after the offer.

(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (7) All interest on the full amount of any judgment that accrues after entry of the judgment and before we have paid, offered to pay, or deposited in court the part of the judgment that is within the applicable limit of insurance.
Any amounts paid under (1) through (7) above will not reduce the Limits of Insurance. b. If we defend an insured against a "suit" and an indemnitee of the insured is also named as a party to the "suit", we will defend that indemnitee if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The "suit" against the indemnitee seeks damages for which the insured has assumed the liability of the indemnitee in a contract or agreement that is an "insured contract"; (2) This insurance applies to such liability assumed by the insured; (3) The obligation to defend, or the cost of the defense of, that indemnitee, has also been assumed by the insured in the same "insured contract";
(4) The allegations in the "suit" and the information we know about the "occurrence" are such that no conflict appears to exist between the interests of the insured and the interest of the indemnitee; (5) The indemnitee and the insured ask us to conduct and control the defense of that indemnitee against such "suit" and agree that we can assign the same counsel to defend the insured and the indemnitee; and (6) The indemnitee:
(a) Agrees in writing to:
(i) Cooperate with us in the investigation, settlement or defense of the "suit"; (ii) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the "suit";
(iii) Notify any other insurer whose coverage is available to the indemnitee; and (iv) Cooperate with us with respect to coordinating other applicable insurance available to the indemnitee; and
(b) Provides us with written authorization to:

So long as the above conditions are met, attorneys' fees incurred by us in the defense of that indemnitee, necessary litigation expenses incurred by us and necessary litigation expenses incurred by the indemnitee at our request will be paid as Supplementary Payments.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 1.b.(b) of Section B. Exclusions, such payments will not be deemed to be damages for "bodily injury" and "property damage" and will not reduce the Limits of Insurance.
Our obligation to defend an insured's indemnitee and to pay for attorneys' fees and necessary litigation expenses as Supplementary Payments ends when:
(1) We have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments or settlements; or (2) The conditions set forth above, or the terms of the agreement described in Paragraph (6) above, are no longer met.

An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.
4. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this Policy to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies:

If unintentionally you should fail to disclose all hazards relating to the conduct of your business at the inception date of this Coverage Part, we shall not deny any coverage under this Coverage Part because of such failure.
6. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk, Owner Controlled Insurance Program or OCIP, Contractor Controlled Insurance Program or CCIP, Wrap Up Insurance or similar coverage for "your work";
Form SL 00 00 10 18 Page 17 of 22
© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft
If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section B. Exclusions.
(5) Property Damage To Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion k. of Section B. Exclusions.
(6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured.
However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below.
(b) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.
Form SL 00 00 10 18 Page 18 of 22
© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
7. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize The Alcazar Theatre to apply its unused FY 2024/25 Community Services Support Grant funds toward
community event held in collaboration with the Carpinteria Community Library on May 15, 2025.
BACKGROUND
The FY 2024/25 Community Services Support Grant (CSSG) program budget of $152,250 was approved by City Council during the budget adoption process on June 24, 2024. Included in the adopted appropriations was a $3,250 CSSG award to The Alcazar Theatre.
Out of an abundance of caution, Councilmember Nomura requested that the matter be reconsidered by the City Council without his participation. On November 12, 2024, the vote, and the $3,250 grant was subsequently issued to The Alcazar Theatre.
Originally, The Alcazar intended to use the funds to support school-based performing arts programming, offering students an opportunity to perform on stage for their families and the community at no charge. However, due to the delay in disbursing the funds and the school year coming to a close, The Alcazar is requesting a modification to the use of funds.

April 28, 2025
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider authorizing The Alcazar Theatre to apply its unused FY 2024/25 Community Services Support Grant funds toward Community Library on May 15, 2025.
DISCUSSION
a letter to the City Manager requesting approval to modify the use of their FY 2024/25 CSSG . This free community
event, scheduled for May 15, 2025, is a partnership between The Alcazar Theatre and the Carpinteria Community Library and will include panel discussions and moderated dialogue designed to foster local engagement and cultural connection. formal request letter is provided as Attachment A.
Staff recommends authorizing this scope of work modification. Allocating the existing current fiscal year, eliminating the need to carry them forward into FY 2025/26. This not only supports administrative clarity and consistency in grant tracking, but also aligns with the purpose of the CSSG program to support local nonprofits in delivering meaningful community services.
In addition, the proposed event directly supports the goals of the CSSG program by providing a no-cost, public-facing event that strengthens community connections and broadens access to local arts and cultural programming.
POLICY CONSISTENCY
The proposed action aligns with:
1. The City's established policy for community support, as detailed in Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 2.20.040, which governs the Community Services Support Grant Program within the General Government Department; and,
2. Community Institution Collaboration.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The grant funds were previously issued as part of the FY 2024/25 CSSG cycle and will be reallocated within the same fiscal year and budget
LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
None.

This letter, attached supporting information, and one copy of the City of Carpinteria (City) Community Development Department’s Project Application form are intended to serve as a complete Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application for the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP). CAPP involves components on multiple sites, and one project application form without attachments would be insufficient to convey all necessary information. Many of the fields in the Project Application form have a singular response field that do not consider a project with multiple locations, or do not provide sufficient space to respond fully.
Where a Project Application field requires information specific to an individual project site for CAPP, this letter will include the requested information in tabular form. Fields with uniform responses across all sites, or for which we believe a detailed response is only required for one site is included in the Project Application form. We note instances of the latter case in this letter, where appropriate.
Project Purpose and Overview
The Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) water supply sources consist of local groundwater, surface water collected at Lake Cachuma in the Santa Ynez watershed, and imported water from the State Water Project (SWP), delivered via Lake Cachuma. These sources are becoming increasingly unreliable during times of drought. Capacity limitations of the SWP conveyance system, increasing costs to sustain reliability, new groundwater regulations, competition for Lake Cachuma water, and the vulnerability of Cachuma Project conveyance systems are a few emerging issues facing the area’s water systems. Existing SWP and Cachuma Project supplies may not be reliable during a drought when deliveries may be reduced or when competition from other users may increase, such as additional water needed for downstream fisheries. As the global climate changes, increased variability in precipitation patterns may result in increased duration and intensity of drought and decreased availability of surface water supplies for the Statewide imported water system. The Carpinteria Groundwater Basin was deemed a high priority basin by the State of California (State) as part of evaluations dictated by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency adopted the basin’s groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) on November 29, 2023.
The proposed Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (herein referred to as “project” or “CAPP”) is an indirect potable reuse project intended to enhance water supply reliability by treating wastewater through advanced water purification processes and then injecting purified water into the groundwater basin, reducing CVWD’s vulnerability to drought and reduced supply reliability. CAPP will provide approximately 1,000 AFY of potable water supply even during extended drought periods. While CVWD is the lead agency and financer of CAPP, CVWD is working closely with the Carpinteria Sanitary District (CSD). CVWD and the CSD are working CDP/CUP Supplementary Information
Carpinteria Valley Water District 2 of 14 CAPP
towards a joint exercise of powers agreement (JEPA), which will formally bind the two parties to advance, construct, maintain and operate CAPP.
The proposed project will augment groundwater supplies by recycling water currently discharged to the ocean and injecting it into the groundwater basin. Water for the project will be sourced from the CSD’s existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Treated secondary effluent will undergo a full advanced treatment process at a new advanced water purification facility (AWPF) co-located at the existing WWTP site to purify it beyond drinking water standards. The purified water will then be distributed through a network of pipelines to two injection wells and injected into the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin. Monitoring wells will be constructed to monitor project benefits and ensure the protection of the groundwater basin. CVWD will extract this additional supply source via its existing groundwater production wells. This CUP and CDP application is for all aspects of the project: the AWPF, pipelines, injection wells, and monitoring wells.

Project Description
The proposed project consists of the following: an AWPF; purified water pipelines, backwash pipelines, injection and monitoring wells, and a pump station (on the AWPF/WWTP site). The water produced by the project and injected into the groundwater basin will be extracted via existing production wells, resulting in increased groundwater pumping from existing production wells. The following project descriptions reflect the information in the Final 2019 Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR). Minor differences will be noted below and anticipated to be covered in the EIR Addendum planned for circulation in Fall 2024. Each of these project components is described below.
The project is anticipated to be split into four separate construction bid packages: 1) Advanced Water Purification Facility; 2) Purified water and backwash water conveyance pipelines; 3) Purified Water Injection Wells; and 4) Monitoring Wells. The primary reason for separation of bid packages is to encourage local participation by Contractors who may not have requisite experience to construction an advanced water purification facility and increase competition. Each construction contract will be independently constructed with only a few dependencies on the other construction contracts. Anticipated dependencies will be further described below.
Advanced Water Purification Facility
Estimated Bid Date: Early Spring 2025
Estimated Construction Start Date: Winter 2025/2026
Estimated Construction Duration: 3 years
The AWPF will include an AWPF process building, an equalization (EQ) below grade tank, a waste equalization below grade tank and an effluent purified water below grade clearwell, below grade pump station and associated yard piping. This will all be constructed on the site on which the existing WWTP is located, 5351 6th Street, Carpinteria. The main project components are described in the following sections.
The AWPF will treat flows from the CSD WWTP. The AWPF is currently designed to produce up to 1.3 million gallons per day (mgd) of purified water and on average will produce 1 mgd of purified water (1,000 AFY). Advanced treatment purifies water from the CSD WWTP through several treatment processes, including ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection with advanced oxidation.
The project includes construction of a below grade 200,000-gallon equalization tank at the CSD’s WWTP. The equalization tank foundation will be stabilized with helical anchors, which is not anticipated to be impactful to the surrounding areas. The tank will store secondary treated effluent from the WWTP, allowing for normal fluctuations in flow from the WWTP to maintain a near constant flow rate to the AWPF. Secondary treated effluent in equalization tank is then pumped to the UF filter system inside the main AWPF building.
The AWPF building encloses the advanced treatment equipment for noise attenuation and to protect it from the elements. The AWPF building will match the existing architectural style of the CDP/CUP Supplementary Information
Carpinteria Valley Water District 5 of 14 CAPP
main wastewater treatment facility operations building, which will feature CMU block walls and a standing seam metal roof. Renderings of the building are included with this application. In addition to the advanced treatment components, the AWPF building includes a small laboratory area, a locker room, a restroom, a shower, and a break room. Given the soil conditions on site, different techniques have been used on past projects to stabilize foundations including driven piles and then later stone columns to reduce noise. Rather than these methods, the soil improvements under the AWPF building will be via deep soil mixing (DSM), which mechanically mixes existing soil with a cementitious slurry pumped at low pressure. This method of soil stabilization is both quiet and vibration free as compared to driven piles.
Inside the AWPF building, the UF system filters the wastewater that has already undergone secondary treatment through a physical membrane barrier with very small pores to remove turbidity, particles, and microorganisms. Typical UF pores have diameters on the order of 0.01 micrometer ( ). For comparison, 0.0 000th the diameter of a human hair, and the 00th the diameter of a human hair. The
UF membranes are permeable and retain suspended particulates, including bacteria, protozoa, and some organics and viruses, thereby removing these constituents from the water. The UF membranes are designed to adapt to water quality conditions and flow with automatic adjustments to the filter system, which saves energy, chemical use, and manpower.
From the UF component, the water travels to the RO system. RO removes dissolved solids, organic contaminants, sugars, salts, sub-micron particles and viruses from the water. It also uses a physical membrane barrier with pore sizes that range from 0.02 the membranes used. Unlike UF, RO produces a clean water stream (permeate) and a reject stream (concentrate). This means that not all the water is recovered from this process as permeate water. A percentage of the water becomes concentrate (Project designed for 20 percent), which contains a higher concentration of the dissolved particles than were in the source water flow. This concentrate will be discharged to the ocean through the CSD’s existing ocean outfall that currently conveys secondary treated wastewater. While the concentrate stream (~7,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)) is more concentrated than typical drinking water (250- 500 mg/L TDS), it is still much less salty than ocean water (~35,000 mg/L TDS) or concentrate from ocean desalination facilities.
After the dissolved solids have been removed, the water that passed through the RO membranes is ready for the UV disinfection/advanced oxidation treatment process. The UV disinfection component provides additional treatment by oxidizing trace chemical pollutants that may have passed through the UF and RO stages. Advanced oxidation uses UV light and oxidation chemicals to initiate a series of chemical reactions that break down compounds in the water that cannot be broken down by biological treatment or removed using the membranes.
Water from the UV system will flow by gravity to a clearwell, located adjacent to the UV system canopy. Sodium Hypochlorite can be added to the water upstream of the clearwell, which would allow for appropriate contact time with free chlorine for additional virus inactivation. Purified water would be pumped directly from the clearwell to two injection wells off site.

The advanced treatment process requires the use of multiple chemicals. Chemicals will either be stored in bulk liquid tanks that allow for deliveries to be pumped into the tanks or stored in chemical totes delivered to the site. The chemical storage area will be equipped with chemical pumps to transfer chemicals to the various treatment processes. The chemical storage will be equipped with a secondary containment barrier all around to prevent any spills or leaks.
Construction is estimated to take 3 years to complete, with several months of start-up and commissioning following the construction period. No permanent infrastructure will be constructed within the 50-foot setback from Carpinteria Creek. However, it is expected that the Contractor will utilize portions of the paved area within the 50-foot setback for temporary construction staging.
Construction BMP’s will be in place to mitigate construction impacts on the creek.
The project will not change how the existing treatment facility manages stormwater, including dewatering, which is collected, and pumped to the headworks of the facility for treatment.
Purified Water and Backwash Water Conveyance Pipelines
Estimated Bid Date: Spring 2025
Estimated Construction Start Date: Late Summer 2025
Estimated Construction Duration: 8 months
The purified water and backwash water conveyance pipelines are planned to be installed along the alignment shown in Figure 1 with traditional open cut construction method. No trenchless methods of construction are expected. These pipelines would accomplish two purposes: 1) convey purified water from the AWPF to injection wells; and 2) convey backwash water from injection wells to the existing sanitary sewer system at an acceptably low flowrate. The primary conveyance pipelines conveying purified water consist of approximately 5,400 feet of 8- and 10- inches buried PVC pipeline. This is a slight shift from the Final EIR, where the proposed pipelines were 8- and 12-inches. The pipeline size was reduced to save project cost. The proposed pipelines are mostly within the City of Carpinteria’s public right-of-way, except for short portion on private property off Eugenia Place. CVWD holds a permanent easement for this section of pipeline.
The injection wells require regular backwashing, where each injection well temporarily acts as a production well, producing about 2x the average injected flowrate. The resultant backwash water must be disposed. While the Final EIR described a 42,000 gallon above ground storage tank, the project proposes to tie into and dispose of backwash water to the existing sanitary sewer system, using a 48-inch diameter buried pipeline. A buried pipeline for storage was selected to minimize the visual impact on the public. The buried pipeline serves both conveyance and storage purposes; where the backwash water can be released and metered at a lower flowrate. Two new sewer manholes are also included in the proposed project. The backwash water pipelines consist of approximately 600-ft of 12-inch pressurized pipelines and approximately 400-ft of 48-inch gravity pipelines. A depiction of the backwash water approach is shown in Figure 2.

Injection and Monitoring Wells
Estimated Bid Date: Spring 2025
Estimated Construction Start Date: Late Summer 2025
Estimated Construction Duration: 8 months
The project includes the installation of two injection wells, one in Meadow View Lane and one on the Saint Joseph Catholic Church property, hereafter referred to as the Linden Injection Well. The Linden Injection Well is sited at Well Site #2 from the Final EIR. The Meadow View Lane location was not previously identified in the Final EIR and will be covered by the EIR Addendum. A third injection well is not part of this application. The wellhead of the injection well on Meadow View Lane is located below grade, accessed by a manhole. Above-grade piping, valving, and electrical cabinets would be behind a fenced enclosure on the sidewalk. The Linden Injection wellhead is also below grade within the grassy field. Piping, valving, and electrical panels are within a fenced area above grade. Conceptual renderings of the injection wells are included with this application.
Construction of each injection well is anticipated to span up to 20 weeks, with the principal activities necessitating 24-hour drilling expected to last approximately 4 weeks. Mitigation measures to reduce the community impact are outlined in the Final EIR.
Each well will inject approximately 350 gallons per minute of purified water while the AWPF is operational. Upon project completion, the injection wells will operate 24 hours per day, so long as the AWPF is operational. Injection well operation is anticipated to be silent during injection because the pump and motor providing the necessary energy to the flow will be at the AWPF site.
The injection wells need to be periodically backflushed. Injection well operation is anticipated to be silent during backflush events because the pump and motor in each well will be submersible.
Initially, backflush events may occur once or twice per week (per well) for approximately 60 minutes. Hydrogeologic conditions may allow operators to decrease this backwash frequency.
Backwash water will be discharged to the sanitary sewer as discussed in the previous section.
Proposed construction equipment layouts and sound wall barriers are included with this application. A second mobilization for each injection well site will be required to install the above- CDP/CUP Supplementary Information
Carpinteria Valley Water District 8 of 14 CAPP
grade infrastructure, including concrete pads, piping, electrical cabinets, and security fencing.
This second mobilization is expected to occur several months after the wells have been drilled.
The project also includes three monitoring well clusters installed at three separate sites: Memorial Park, Meadow View Lane, and Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church property (hereafter referred to as the Linden monitoring well cluster). The regulations governing potable reuse projects like CAPP require extensive groundwater monitoring to ensure there’s no net negative impact on the groundwater basin. The three principal aquifer zones (deep, intermediate, and shallow) will be monitored at each site. No above grade infrastructure is required for the monitoring wells, and each are accessed by a manhole lid. Each nested monitoring well location is expected to span 2 months with some principal activities necessitating 24-hour operations. For the three wells at each cluster site, 24-hour operations will occur for 10 days (deep), 8 days (intermediate), and 5 days (shallow). For all other elements of the field operations, including repositioning rig on subsequent holes, operations will be conducted on a daylight hours basis only.
The injection wells and monitoring wells are expected to be constructed under a single contract.
While the borehole size difference between the monitoring wells and injection wells necessitates different drill rigs, by grouping them into a single contract, CVWD can impose a greater level of control on construction sequencing. One soundwall enclosure is expected for the Meadow View Lane Injection/Monitoring Wells and another soundwall enclosure for the Linden Injection/Monitoring Wells. The anticipated sequence will commence with drilling the Meadow View Injection Well, followed by the relocation of the drilling rig to the Linden Injection Well site.
After moving the injection well rig from Linden to Meadow View, a smaller drill rig will be mobilized to construct the Meadow View monitoring well cluster. CVWD aims to reduce the impact on the community by coordinating a single mobilization of equipment and sound barriers for each site. An example schedule is shown below, but construction may start on Linden, rather than Meadow View, depending on timing.

C. Project Information
Refer to main Project Application for Information. Information pertains only to the AWPF site.
7. Storm Water Management Program
Currently, all stormwater within the CSD WWTP site is captured and conveyed to the headworks for treatment. The site is entirely impervious, thus there’s no net change in impervious surface area with the construction of the AWPF. Since the current stormwater collection and conveyance capacity is met by current conditions and there’s no change in impervious area, there’s no impact on this system by the implementation of the AWPF.
Furthermore, there’s a net benefit since the stormwater flows add source water for advanced treatment and ultimately contribute to beneficial recharge of the groundwater basin.
All other facilities, including the conveyance pipelines and injection/monitoring wells are not subject to the requirements of the storm water management program.

4. Are there any dangerous, explosive, flammable or hazardous chemicals and/or processes to be used or stored on this property?
Only the AWPF site will store potentially hazardous chemicals. Each IW will have compressed nitrogen gas stored inside a cabinet that is used to control the rate of injection using a downhole valve. All chemicals stored are common to these treatment systems and storage will comply with applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements for chemical storage. Each chemical storage tank resides within its own chemical storage area with secondary containment sized to retain 100% of the storage volume plus a factor of safety. None of the chemicals are explosive and flammable. The Chemicals that will be stored are their use within the treatment process CDP/CUP Supplementary Information
Carpinteria Valley Water District 13 of 14 CAPP
are as follows:
Antiscalant: proprietary chemical added to the RO feed water to minimize the potential for inorganic scaling on the membrane surface
Ammonium Sulfate: added to the UF and RO feed water to generate monochloramines promoting UF and RO membrane anti-fouling.
Calcium Chloride: added to finished water to reduce corrosion potential of purified water.
Sulfuric Acid: added to the RO feed water to reduce pH, which minimizes scaling on the RO membranes.
Sodium Hydroxide: added to finished water to adjust alkalinity and pH to reduce corrosion potential of purified water.
Sodium Hypochlorite: added at several steps throughout the process for disinfection.
Citric Acid: used for UF and RO membrane cleaning.
Ferric Chloride: added as a coagulant ahead of the UF filter system to promote removal of contaminates.
5. Proposed scheduling for the project:
The proposed schedule for each component of the project are described above in the Project description.
19. Please discuss any items that were checked yes (attach additional sheets as necessary):
12. The CSD currently holds an NPDES permit for discharging treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean. This permit does not include provisions for discharging RO concentrate, which the AWPF will produce. Therefore, a revised NPDES permit will be required. The mass loading of most pollutants in the RO concentrate will not be higher than what is currently discharged, but the concentration may be up to six times higher.
The RO concentrate will be conveyed and discharged using the existing outfall pipeline that is currently discharging treated wastewater. The issuing agency for this permit is the Central Coast RWQCB.
17. RO treatment requires more energy than conventional water treatment due to the pressures required to overcome the osmotic pressure of the RO membranes. However, since the osmotic pressure is proportional to the salt concentration in the source water, the energy requirements of potable reuse project such as CAPP are typically significantly less than a conventual RO treatment facility with ocean water as the source water.
From the Final EIR, the total annual energy consumption anticipated by the facility is 2,108,949 kWh/year, which equates to approximately, 6,500 kWh/million gallon of CDP/CUP Supplementary Information
Carpinteria Valley Water District 14 of 14 CAPP
purified water. According to the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association, the energy intensity of imported water supplies to the Central Coast Region from the SWP is approximately 6,444 kWh/million gallons, which is equivalent to the anticipated energy use by the Project. Since CAPP will offset SWP supplies, this project is anticipated to have net neutral effect on energy use generally. These findings are consistent with the Final EIR.
