City of Fresno’s Reduce
Delta Reliance Reporting
Appendix D  ‐ Delta Reliance
1 1. Background
Under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009, state and local public agencies proposing a covered action (e.g., a proposed project) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta), prior to initiating the implementation of that action, must prepare a written certification of consistency with detailed findings as to whether the covered action is consistent with applicable Delta Plan policies and submit that certification to the Delta Stewardship Council.

Anyone may appeal a certification of consistency. If the Delta Stewardship Council grants the appeal, the covered action may not be implemented until the agency proposing the covered action submits a revised certification of consistency. The covered action may be implemented if either: 1) no appeal is filed; or 2) the Delta Stewardship Council denies the appeal to the revised certification of consistency.

The City of Fresno (City) contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Central Valley Project (CVP) Friant Division for an annual supply of 60,000 af of Class 1 water through an agreement originally executed in January 1961. Although the Friant Division of the CVP does not pull water from the Delta, the project was developed through an exchange agreement reached in 1939 with the Delta-Mendota supply that provides water to the Exchange Contractors1 with historic pre-1914 San Joaquin River water rights.

As restrictions on Delta exports have hindered USBR from making deliveries to the DeltaMendota Canal, the Exchange Contractors can call on their historic rights, which reduces the Friant Division Class 1 allocations. As such, the City is required to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan’s policy to reduce reliance on the Delta.

An urban water supplier that anticipates participating in or receiving water from a proposed covered action such as a multi-year water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Delta should provide information in their 2015 and 2020 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) that can then be used in the covered action process to demonstrate consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (WR P1).

WR P1 details what is needed for a covered action to demonstrate consistency with reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance. WR P1 subsection (a) states that:

1 The Exchange Contractors are the benefactors of the historic pre-1914 water rights established by Miller and Lux. These contracts include: Central California Irrigation District; San Luis Canal Company; Firebaugh Canal Water District; and Columbia Canal Company, per http://www.sjrecwa.net/history.html (accessed March 10, 2021).

City of Fresno Appendix D – Delta Reliance July 2021
2020 UWMP FINAL
2 (a) Water shall not be exported from, transferred through, or used in the Delta if all of the following apply:
(1) One or more water suppliers that would receive water as a result of the export, transfer, or use have failed to adequately contribute to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance consistent with all of the requirements listed in paragraph (1) of subsection (c); (2) That failure has significantly caused the need for the export, transfer, or use; and
(3) The export, transfer, or use would have a significant adverse environmental impact in the Delta.

WR P1 subsection (c)(1) further defines what adequately contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta means in terms of (a)(1) above.
(c)(1) Water suppliers that have done all the following are contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance and are therefore consistent with this policy:
(A) Completed a current Urban or Agricultural Water Management Plan (Plan) which has been reviewed by the California Department of Water Resources for compliance with the applicable requirements of Water Code Division 6, Parts 2.55, 2.6, and 2.8;
(B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta; and
(C) Included in the Plan, commencing in 2015, the expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional selfreliance. The expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self- reliance shall be reported in the Plan as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta watershed. For the purposes of reporting, water efficiency is considered a new source of water supply, consistent with Water Code section 1011(a).

The analysis and documentation provided below include all the elements described in WR P1(c)(1) that need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action.

City of Fresno Appendix D – Delta Reliance July 2021
2020 UWMP FINAL
3 2. Methodology
As stated in WR P1(c)(1)(C), the policy requires that, commencing in 2015, UWMPs include expected outcomes for improved regional self-reliance and measurable reduction in Delta reliance. WR P1 further states that those outcomes shall be reported in the UWMP as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta. The expected outcomes for the City’s regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance were developed using the approach and guidance described in Appendix C of DWR’s Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2020 issued in March 2020 (Guidebook Appendix C), including the use of narrative justifications for the accounting of supplies and the documentation of specific data sources.

All data were obtained from planning documents adopted by the City Council, including the current and previous UWMPs and Metropolitan Water Resource Management Plan (Metro Plan) and represent average or normal water year conditions. Using normal water year demands serves as a proxy for the amount of supplies that would be used in a normal water year, which helps alleviate issues associated with how supply capability is presented to fulfill requirements of the UWMP Act versus how supplies might be accounted for to demonstrate consistency with WR P1.

To calculate the expected outcomes for improved regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance, a baseline is needed to compare against. This analysis uses a normal water year representation of 2010 as the baseline, which is consistent with the approach described in the Guidebook Appendix C. Data for the 2010 baseline were taken from the City’s 2008 UWMP. Consistent with the 2010 baseline data approach, the expected outcomes for improved regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance for 2015 and 2020 were taken from the City’s 2010 and 2015 UWMPs, respectively. Expected outcomes for 2025-2045 are from the current 2020 UWMP. Documentation of the specific data sources and assumptions are included in the discussions below.

City of Fresno Appendix D – Delta Reliance July 2021
2020 UWMP FINAL
4 3. Demonstration of Regional Self-Reliance

3.1 Service Area Demands without Water Use Efficiency
Because WR P1 considers water use efficiency savings a source of water supply, water suppliers such as the City that do not explicitly quantify water use efficiency savings in their UWMPs can calculate their embedded water use efficiency savings based on changes in forecasted per capita water use since the baseline.

Agencies that explicitly calculate and report water use efficiency savings in their UWMP will need to make an adjustment to properly reflect normal water year demands in the calculation of reduced reliance. As explained in the Guidebook Appendix C, water use efficiency savings must be added back to the normal year demands to represent demands without water use efficiency savings accounted for; otherwise the effect of water use efficiency savings on regional self-reliance would be overestimated. Table 1 (included at the end of this appendix) shows the results of this adjustment for the City. Supporting narratives and documentation for all the data shown in Table 1 are provided below.

Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency
The service area demands shown in Table 1 represent the total water demands for the City’s service area. The demand data shown in Table 1 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): Fresno 2008 UWMP, Table 6-5
 2015: Fresno 2010 UWMP, Table 7-2
 2020: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 4-4
 2025-2045: Fresno 2020 UWMP, Table 4-6
Non-Potable Water Demands
The non-potable water demands shown in Table 1 represent recycled water use that offsets potable water use in the City’s service area. The demand data shown in Table 1 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): Fresno 2008 UWMP, Table 10-7
 2015: Fresno 2010 UWMP, Table 7-1
 2020: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 6-14
 2025-2045: Fresno 2020 UWMP, Table 4-7
Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency
Subtract “Non-Potable Water Demands” from “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency.”
City of Fresno Appendix D – Delta Reliance July 2021
2020 UWMP FINAL
5 Service Area Population
The population data shown in Table 1 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010) and 2015: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 5-1  2020-2045: Fresno 2020 UWMP, Table 3-3
Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline
The “Per Capita Water Use” calculated using “Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” divided by “Service Area Population”. The “Change in Per Capita Water Use from Baseline” was then calculated by comparing with 2010 Per Capita Water Use.

Finally, the “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline” was calculated by multiplying the “Change in Per Capita Water Use from Baseline” by the population for one (1) year.

Service Area Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency Add “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” to “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline.”

3.2 Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-Reliance
For a covered action to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) states that water suppliers must report the expected outcomes for measurable improvement in regional self-reliance. Table 2 shows expected outcomes for supplies contributing to regional self-reliance both in amount and as a percentage. The numbers shown in Table 2 (included at the end of this appendix) represent efforts to improve regional self-reliance for the City’s entire service area and include the total contributions of the City and its customers. Supporting narratives and documentation for all of the data shown in Table 2 are provided below.

Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline
The water use efficiency information shown in Table 2 is taken directly from Table 1.

Water Recycling
The water recycling information shown in Table 2 is taken from the Non-Potable Water Demands row in Table 1.

Local and Regional Water Supply and Storage Programs
The values shown in Table 2 represent groundwater supplies considering both natural recharge and intentional recharge. The supply data shown in Table 2 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): Fresno 2008 UWMP, Table 4-9
 2015: Fresno 2010 UWMP, Table 7-1
 2020: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 6-14

Other Programs and Projects the Contribute to Regional Self-Reliance The values shown in Table 2 represent Kings River supplies considering both contracted supplies and recycled water exchange supplies. The supply data shown in Table 2 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): Fresno 2008 UWMP, Table 4-11
 2015: Fresno 2010 UWMP, Table 7-1
 2020: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 6-5
 2025-2045: Fresno 2020 UWMP, Table 6-8
Water Supplies Contributing to Regional Self Reliance
Sum of:
 Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline
 Water Recycling
 Local and Regional Water Supply and Storage Programs
 Other Programs and Projects the Contribute to Regional Self-Reliance Percent of Water Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-Reliance “Water Supplies Contributing to Regional Self Reliance” divided by “Service Area Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency” (from Section 3.1).

3.3 Conclusions
The results shown in Table 2 demonstrate that the City’s service area is measurably improving its regional self-reliance. The following provides a summary of the near-term (2025) and long-term (2045) expected outcomes for the City’s regional self-reliance:
 Near-term (2025): The expected outcome for normal water year regional selfreliance is expected to increase by 129,700 AFY from the 2010 baseline; this represents an increase of about 31 percent of 2025 normal water year demands (Table 2).
 Long-term (2045): The expected outcome for normal water year regional selfreliance is expected to increase by more than 191,600 AFY from the 2010 baseline, this represents an increase of about 14 percent of 2045 normal water year retail demands (Table 2).

The results show that the City is measurably improving regional self-reliance, both as an amount of water used and as a percentage of water used.

7 4. Demonstration of Reduced Reliance on the Delta
The City’s service area reduces reliance on the Delta through investments in non-Delta water supplies, local water supplies, and regional and local demand management measures.

4.1 Calculation of Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed The calculation of reliance on water supplies from the Delta watershed, shown in Table 3 (included at the end of this appendix), is based on the following assumptions.

CVP/SWP Contract Supplies
The City water supplies with a connection to the Delta watershed are CVP/SWP Contract Supplies. The supply data shown in Table 3 is for anticipated average yield from the City’s USBR contract and were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): Fresno 2008 UWMP, Table 4-6
 2015: Fresno 2010 UWMP, Table 7-1
 2020: Fresno 2015 UWMP, Table 6-14
 2025-2045: Fresno 2020 UWMP, Table 6-2
Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed
Equal to “CVP/SWP Contract Supplies.”
Percent Change in Supplies from the Delta Watershed
Divides “Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed” by “Service Area Demands without Water Use Efficiency” (from Section 3.1) and calculates changes from the 2010 baseline.

4.2 Conclusions
The following provides a summary of the near-term (2025) and long-term (2045) expected outcomes for the City’s Delta reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed:
 Near-term (2025): The expected outcome for normal water year reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed is expected to decrease by 4,520 AF from the 2010 baseline. With Delta water representing 25.5% of service area water demand without water use efficiency, this represents a decrease from the 2010 baseline of

10.1% (Table 3).
 Long-term (2045): The expected outcome for normal water year reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed is expected to decrease by 4,520 AF from the 2010 baseline. With Delta water representing 19.5% of service area water demand without water use efficiency, this represents a decrease from the 2010 baseline of

16.2% (Table 3).

The results shown in Table 3 demonstrate that City is measurably reducing reliance on the Delta, both as an amount of water used and as a percentage of water used.

City of Fresno Appendix D – Delta Reliance July 2021
2020 UWMP FINAL
8 5. UWMP Implementation
In addition to the analysis and documentation described above, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(B) requires that all programs and projects included in the UWMP that are locally cost-effective and technically feasible, which reduce reliance on the Delta, are identified, evaluated, and implemented consistent with the implementation schedule. WR P1 (c)(1)(B) states that:
(B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta[.]
In accordance with Water Code Section 10631(f), water suppliers must already include in their UWMP a detailed description of expected future projects and programs that they may implement to increase the amount of water supply available to them in normal and single-dry water years and for a period of drought lasting five consecutive years. The UWMP description must also identify specific projects, include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project, and include an estimate regarding the implementation timeline for each project or program.

Chapter 6 of the City’s 2020 UWMP summarizes the implementation of future water projects and continued progress in developing a diversified water portfolio to meet the City’s water needs.

9 6. 2015 UWMP Appendix L
The information contained in this appendix is also intended to be a new Appendix L attached to the City’s 2015 UWMP consistent with WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003). The City provided notice of the availability of the draft 2020 UWMP, 2020 WSCP, and a new Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP and the public hearing to consider adoption of the documents in accordance with CWC Sections 10621(b) and 10642, and Government Code Section 6066, and Chapter 17.5 (starting with Section 7290) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. The public review drafts of the 2020 UWMP, Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP, and the 2020 WSCP were posted on the City’s website, fresno.gov, on June 28, 2021, more than 14 days in advance of the public hearing on July 15, 2021. The notice of availability of the documents was sent to the City’s customers, as well as cities and counties in the City’s service area. Copies of the notification letter sent to the customers and cities and counties in the City’s service area are included in the 2020 UWMP Appendix L. Thus, this Appendix D to the City’s 2020 UWMP, which was adopted with the City’s 2020 UWMP, will also be recognized and treated as Appendix L to the City’s 2015 UWMP.

The City held the public hearing for the draft 2020 UWMP, draft Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP, and draft 2020 WSCP on July 15, 2021, at a regular City Council meeting, held online due to COVID-19 concerns. At the meeting, the City Council determined that the 2020 UWMP and the 2020 WSCP accurately represent the water resources plan for the City’s service area. In addition, the City Council determined that Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP and Appendix D to the 2020 UWMP includes all of the elements described in Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003), which need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action. As stated in Resolutions 2021-196, 2021-197, and 2021-198, the City Council adopted the 2020 UWMP, the 2020 WSCP, and Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP and authorized their submittal to the State of California. Copies of the resolutions are included in the 2020 UWMP Appendix M.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN FRESNO

IRRIGATION DISTRICT AND CITY OF FRESNO

FOR WATER UTILIZATION AND CONVEYANCE
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as ofDecembe~ , 2016 by and between the Fresno Irrigation District, an irrigation district (herein called "District") and City of Fresno, a municipal corporation (herein called "City").

WITNESS ETH:

WHEREAS, District is an irrigation district organized and existing under the laws of the State of California and is the owner of certain water supplies, water rights and a water distribution system that can convey water to lands both within and outside District boundaries; and
WHEREAS, City is a municipal corporation with boundaries largely overlapping those of District and is the owner of a water distribution system for the distribution of water to lands both in and outside the exterior boundaries of City; and
WHEREAS, District and City have heretofore entered into a cooperative program of water utilization between said parties evidenced by a written agreement for such water utilization and conveyance dated August 12, 1970, which by its terms and by the terms of amendments thereto terminated on May 30, 1976; and
WHEREAS, District and City continued with said cooperative program and entered into a replacement contract for water utilization and conveyance dated May 25, 1976 ("1976 Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, District and City wish to amend and restate the 1976 Agreement in its entirety in order to continue with and expand said cooperative program to recognize changed circumstances affecting them via this Revised, Amended and Restated Cooperative Agreement between Fresno Irrigation District and City of Fresno for Water Utilization and Conveyance ; and
WHEREAS, certain provisions of this Agreement are specifically authorized by, and entered into pursuant to, Chapter 9 ( commencing with Section 26670), Part 10, Division 11 of the California Water Code; and
WHEREAS, by agreement dated December 22, 2010 between City and the United States of America identified as Contract No. 14-06-200-8901D (the "City Bureau Contract"), City is entitled to purchase certain water from the United States; and WHEREAS, by agreement dated December 22, 2010 between District and the United States of America identified as Contract No. 14-06-200-11220 (the "District Bureau Contract"), District is entitled to purchase certain water from the United States; and 1 GIS 6496
WHEREAS, District holds rights to Kings River water and storage in Pine Flat Reservoir on the Kings River, subject to various contracts with the United States of America, water supply schedules and agreements by and among members of the Kings River Water Association and others, judicial and regulatory decrees, and the water rights governing the diversion and use of Kings River water, all as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the "Kings River Agreements"); and
WHEREAS, it is recognized by District and City that District is primarily charged with the distribution and delivery of water within District for Agricultural Use and that its canals and distribution system must primarily be used for that purpose; and WHEREAS, it is recognized by both District and City that many inhabitants of District also require water for domestic, industrial or fire protection purposes supplied to them by City; and
WHEREAS, under the 1976 Agreement, Kings River water was available to City once lands within District boundaries with surface water allotments were annexed into City and were covered by the 1976 Agreement's contract rate for surface water delivery to City by District for those lands; and
WHEREAS, City and District now wish to limit the amount of Kings River water available to City to provide more certainty regarding water supply availability and to address City's current and anticipated needs and circumstances; and WHEREAS, City and District are both committed to working cooperatively under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act ("SGMA") so that the groundwater basin shared by City and District is sustainable and so that undesirable results (as defined in SGMA) are minimized or avoided; and
WHEREAS, City and District recognize that changes to the operations of the Central Valley Project have impacted the availability of water from said project; and WHEREAS, City has heretofore used much of the water delivered to it under the 1976 Agreement for groundwater recharge because of City's historical reliance on groundwater, and therefore did not require delivery of water year around; and WHEREAS, City desires to use more of its surface water for direct delivery to its water users and ratepayers while limiting its reliance on groundwater; and WHEREAS, with the development of its surface water treatment facilities ("SWTFs") City now requires a long-term, reliable and certain surface water supply, deliverable continuously year around; and
WHEREAS, conveyance of raw surface water to the SWTFs on a continuous year around basis will require, among other things, (i) new conveyance infrastructure built by City to overcome certain operational challenges and/or interruptions to District's infrastructure to accommodate normal and routine maintenance of District's canals and pipelines than have historically delivered surface water to City, (ii) District to alter its operations and incur additional 2 costs to make Out of Season Deliveries, and (iii) the use of new management techniques by District, with the attendant costs, including without limitation water sales, purchases, transfers and exchanges, to meet the need for a continuous supply of surface water to City's SWTFs, all while addressing SGMA and other legal and regulatory requirements that impact the groundwater basin shared by District and City; and
WHEREAS, providing Out of Season Deliveries by District to City may also require the development of new water supplies and projects to provide the water being sought by City; and WHEREAS, City acknowledges that District has a great depth of experience, knowledge and expertise in the management of surface water supply resources (including but not limited to water supply sales, purchases, transfers and exchanges); and WHEREAS, City recognizes that the coordinated management of both District's and City's water supplies by District is desirable to maximize the use of the current water supplies and the future development of water supplies for both parties; and WHEREAS, City has determined that it is in City's interest, and in the interest of its water users and ratepayers, to engage District to employ District's experience, knowledge and expertise on behalf of City in the management of City's Surface Water pursuant to the terms hereof in order to achieve City's and District's goals described herein and to accommodate City's desire for a continuous year around surface water supply, and District has agreed to be so engaged; and
WHEREAS, the changing conditions and manner of management of water supplies throughout the State of California, and other factors beyond the control of City and District, will require increased vigilance on the part of water purveyors in the Fresno area to cooperate with each other ori long-range implementation strategies to improve the availability, reliability, and drought resiliency of water supplies; and
WHEREAS, through this Agreement and additional cooperative efforts, City, District and other entities in the region intend to capture of flood released waters, optimize existing water supply storage assets, develop new water supply storage assets, expand groundwater recharge capacities, engage in strategic water supply sales, transfers and exchanges and enhance the utilization of recycled and/or treated waters; and
WHEREAS, in light of SGMA, environmental regulations, water supply challenges and competition with other users and regions in the State for water supplies, City and District wish to further enhance their cooperative working relationship for the benefit of the water users and ratepayers they serve by entering into this Agreement to provide for strategic, long-range and coordinated water supply planning and management that will optimize water conservation, the efficient uses of water for agricultural and municipal uses, the capture of flood released water, the use of existing water supply storage assets, the development of new water supply storage assets, the expansion of groundwater recharge capacity, the effectiveness of strategic water supply sales, transfers, exchanges and purchases, and the enhancement of recycled water utilization.

(g) Included as a part of the management of City's Surface Water as described above, District shall diligently pursue Transfers of any of City's Friant Supply that City advises District that City will not require during a particular Water Year ("Temporarily Unused Friant Water").

1. Upon identifying a potential Transfer opportunity, and prior to executing the Transfer, District shall notify City of the potential Transfer opportunity, and the water quantity, unit price, delivery dates and terms, and any other material matters associated with the Transfer. This is a notification procedure and not an approval procedure.

11. All Transfers of Temporarily Unused Friant Water pursued by District shall be in full conformance with City's water supply goals as described in Section 4(t) or otherwise agreed by City and District, and shall be limited to supporting Agricultural Use rather than urban growth or development in other jurisdictions.
111. City shall not be prohibited from unilaterally pursuing Transfers of Temporarily Unused Friant Water; provided, that any such Transfers shall first be discussed and coordinated with District before they are implemented and shall not be undertaken over District's reasonable objection and the benefits of any such Transfer shall be allocated in accordance with subsections (h), (i) and G) below.

111. Water supply storage or conveyance capacities made available as a result of a Transfer.

To the extent benefits include payments, City shall be reimbursed for its actual and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred for City's Friant Supply involved in the Transfer, 8 and each of the parties shall next be reimbursed for any actual and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Transfer. The net revenue associated with a Transfer shall be the revenue remaining after all parties have been reimbursed their actual and reasonable expenses incurred for the Transfer.
(i) To the extent benefits of a Transfer consist of water supplies, water supply storage or conveyance capacities, the allocation of such benefits as between the parties shall be negotiated by the parties before the Transfer is implemented. In the event the parties cannot negotiate such allocation, the Transfer shall not be pursued.

G) For each Transfer that generates net revenue, City and District agree that the net revenue shall be distributed and used as follows:

1. 25-percent of the net revenue shall be deposited with City's water enterprise fund;

11. 25-percent of the net revenue shall be deposited with District for the inspection, operations, maintenance and repair of the District's Conveyance System, which City acknowledges provides a benefit to City ratepayers;
111. 50-percent off the net revenue shall be deposited into a Water Supply Development Fund to be used to finance water supply development programs and projects that mutually-benefit City and District.

The Water Supply Development Fund shall be a restricted-use fund to be used exclusively for water supply programs and projects that improve water supply availability, reliability and drought resiliency for both District and City. Programs and projects that may be financed from the Water Supply Development Fund include, but are not limited to, water supply purchases, transfers, and exchanges; groundwater storage; and groundwater recharge.

Expenditures for water supply purchases, transfers, and exchanges may include any carryover charges and conveyance charges that may be assessed by the State of California, the United States, or other agency, to store, transport and deliver surface water, for the mutual benefit of City and District, using state or federal storage and conveyance facilities.

The Water Supply Development Fund may receive contributions from City, District, and other public agencies approved by both City and District. The Water Supply Development Fund may not receive contributions from private persons, companies, businesses, or organizations.

Prior to encumbering funds from the Water Supply Development Fund, District and City shall mutually agree in writing on the recommended expenditure and the amount to be financed with the Water Supply Development Fund.

District shall serve as the fiscal agent for the Water Supply Development Fund and implement generally accepted public agency or governmental accounting practices in managing the fund assets. District shall subject the fund to an annual audit by independent auditors during the course of District's annual audit of its financial statements. The audit shall 9 be conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards by the independent certified public accountant auditing District's financial statements. Upon presentation of District's comprehensive audit report to the District Board of Directors, District shall provide City with a copy of District's audit report. At any time during the term of this Agreement, City may, at its own cost, request to review and audit the financial and accounting records associated with the Water Supply Development Fund. District shall have 30 working days to submit the requested records to City for review and audit.

In the event this Agreement terminates and uncommitted amounts remain in the Water Supply Development Fund, one half of all such amounts shall be promptly distributed free of any restrictions to each of the parties.
(k) By the 25th day of each month, District shall provide City with a written summary of District's utilization of City's Friant Supply for the previous month in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The written summary will identify water volumes delivered to recharge basins, surface water treatment facilities, other Points of Delivery designated by City, and Transfers. The written summary may be delivered to City by email, facsimile or U.S. mail.

For Transfers, the monthly report shall include information regarding the parties involved in the Transfer, the water quantity, unit price, delivery dates and terms, and any other material matters associated with the Transfer.

5. Water Made Available to City.
(a) Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, District shall deliver to City during each applicable Water Year, for distribution and use by City within City's Water Service Area, each day of each year on a continuous basis in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, the City's Surface Water available during relevant Water Year(s) that can be diverted by District at the headworks of the Gould Canal, the Fresno Canal or the Friant-Kem Canal Raw Water Pipeline. City acknowledges that the water delivered may not be City's Surface Water, but rather other water controlled by District in the District Water System of similar quality and equal quantity, including without limitation water recovered from water banks, other water for which City's Surface Water is exchanged, and/or water purchased by District for delivery to City at District's cost, and that references in this Agreement to deliveries of City's Surface Water shall include deliveries thereof of a substitute supply by means of one or more exchanges, transfers, purchases or combinations thereof. At all times, District shall have the right to exchange and to convey for City in place thereof other water of similar quality and equal quantity (except sewer effluent or industrial wastes) available to District. (b) City's Surface Water shall be deemed delivered to City when it reaches the Point of Delivery specified in the applicable schedule provided and approved under Section 8 of this Agreement, provided that for deliveries made via the District Water System, District shall thereafter convey such water to the points on the District Water System where City will assume physical control of the delivered water.
(c) The parties acknowledge that there may be times when the City Water System is undergoing routine or emergency repairs and maintenance, or subject to other conditions, that preclude City from accepting deliveries under this Agreement. Similarly, the parties 10 acknowledge that there may be times when the District Water System is undergoing routine or emergency repairs and maintenance, or subject to other conditions, that preclude District from delivering water to City under this Agreement. The parties shall cooperate with the other to minimize the impacts of such events, but neither shall be in breach of this Agreement as a result thereof.
(d) Water delivered to City under this Agreement shall be used by City within City's Water Service Area only for Municipal, Industrial and Domestic Uses, Agricultural Uses incidental thereto, and within the boundaries of District for recharge of the underground water supply by percolation.

City shall not sell, transfer, deliver or exchange any surface water or groundwater to or with any other person or entity without written consent of District first had and obtained.

However, this provision shall not prevent City from entering into separate agreements with any other entity which may have a similar agreement with District for the distribution and use of water received from District under such agreements, provided such separate agreements are entered into with the written consent of District first had and obtained and are subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and District's agreements with such other entities.
( e) District has entered into this Agreement with the understanding that it is, and will continue to be, City's policy to (i) require urban growth to occur sequentially in designated growth areas around City, (ii) promote infill development with City's existing boundaries and (iii) facilitate the successful implementation of SGMA within the groundwater basin shared by City and District by conditioning land use and annexation decisions on the existence of an available water supply to support new development in annexed areas. Consistent with that understanding, for the term of this Agreement, as a condition of the provision of City water service, City shall require the proponent of any proposed development project located outside of City's Water Service Area boundary as of the date of this Agreement to:

1. Define the peak water demands, plus fire protection demands, required to meet the total water supply demands of the entire project at build-out conditions;

11. Obtain a perpetual surface water supply allocation, right, entitlement or similar from District, or other surface water supply agency, to meet the peak water demands, plus fire protection demands, at build out conditions; and m. Dedicate, transfer or assign the perpetual surface water supply allocation, right, entitlement or similar to City.

Once the perpetual water supply has been dedicated, transferred, or assigned to City, the water supply shall be incorporated into City's Surface Water managed by District for City under this Agreement.

In addition, to improve, restore, and maintain the availability, reliability, and drought resiliency of the groundwater and surface water resources in the North Kings Subbasin, 11 City and District shall jointly advocate that all public water supply systems in the North Kings Subbasin should require the proponents of new development projects to obtain perpetual surface water supply rights, allocations, entitlements, and similar, in sufficient quantity, to meet the all demands at full build out.
(f) In furtherance of the parties' goals under this Agreement, City shall utilize City's Friant Supply to provide water to the City's SWTF served by the South Raw Water Pipeline (as defined below) for the purpose of serving the Excluded Area.

6. Raw Water Pipelines. As soon as reasonably practicable, City shall construct, at its sole cost and expense, two raw water pipelines to serve City's SWTFs (the "Raw Water Pipelines").

One Raw Water Pipeline shall be a direct connection from the Friant-Kem Canal to City's SWTF located at Mile Point 7.58 (the "Friant-Kem Canal Raw Water Pipeline"). The other Raw Water Pipeline shall be a direct connection from the Fresno Canal downstream of the headworks for such canal to City's SWTF located at Trimmer Spring Road (the "South Raw Water Pipeline"). City's T3 SWTF shall continue to be served by the Enterprise and Jefferson Canals that are a part of the District Water System. Once operational, the Raw Water Pipelines shall be used to convey portions of City's Surface Water directly to the SWTFs, and all costs of the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Raw Water Pipelines shall be borne by City; provided, that District shall be entitled to utilize for its own purposes any capacity in the Raw Water Pipelines not required to deliver City's Surface Water, and District shall reimburse City upon demand for any operational costs incurred as a result of District's use of the Raw Water Pipelines. Any third-party property damages resulting from City's efforts and activities related to the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Raw Water Pipelines shall be received and processed by City in accordance with City's Risk Management policies and procedures.

7. City's Friant Supply. While this Agreement is in effect, City (i) shall not convey any interest in the City Bureau Contract to any party other than District, (ii) shall at all times maintain the City Bureau Contract in effect and (ii) shall not voluntarily decrease the quantity of City's Friant Supply to be made available to City thereunder without the written consent of District. City will use every effort to obtain its maximum entitlement to City's Friant Supply annually as it may become available, and will seek to maximize any other surface water opportunities that may be available to City via the Friant Division of the Central Valley Project.

Nothing in this Agreement conveys any ownership interest in the City Bureau Contract to District, which shall at all times remain the sole property of City, nor does this Agreement convey any interest in the District Bureau Contract to City, which shall at all times remain the sole property of District.

8. Schedules of Delivery and Conveyance of Water.
(a) District shall deliver City's Surface Water to City in accordance with schedules provided from time to time by City for approval by District, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Such schedules shall set forth the amounts of water desired by City, the desired timing of deliveries, the facilities by which such water is to be delivered, and the point(s) on the District Water System where City will assume physical control of the delivered water. Deliveries of water by District will take into consideration all relevant 12 factors, including without limitation (i) the capacity and condition the applicable portions of the District Water System, (ii) City's Bureau Contract, (iii) the District Bureau Contract, (iv) the Kings River Agreements, (v) actual and anticipated water supply conditions, (vi) the requirements of other contracts between the District and third parties (including without limitation the City of Clovis and Fresno County Waterworks District No. 19) and (vii) all other factors pertaining to the distribution, apportionment and use of water available to District. (b) All schedules submitted by City during each Water Year shall provide for the delivery during that Water Year of all of City's Surface Water that becomes available to City during that Water Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may schedule up to 10,000 acre feet of City's Surface Water that becomes available to City during one Water Year for delivery in the succeeding Water Year ("Rescheduled Water"). City shall timely pay in full all costs imposed by third parties, including without limitation the United States Bureau of Reclamation, as the result of any Rescheduled Water requests or deliveries.

9. Conveyance Losses. City shall bear all losses incurred in the District Water System downstream of the applicable Point of Delivery; provided, that no such losses shall be assessed against City when District is delivering irrigation water to its landowners or water users via the portions of the District Water System used to convey City's Surface Water to the points on the District Water System where City will assume physical control of the delivered water.

Conveyance losses chargeable to City shall be computed by multiplying the losses in that portion of any canal used for conveyance of City's Surface Water during the period such water is being so conveyed by the total amount of water being conveyed for City in that canal during such time, divided by the total amount of water flowing in that portion of that canal during the same period.

10. Use by District of Water Not Used by City.
(a) Except for Rescheduled Water, in the event City is unable to use or does not use any of City's Kings River Supply in any Water Year, City shall lose the right to receive such water, and District shall have the right to take and use such water for Agricultural Use in such manner as it may determine.
(b) Except for Rescheduled Water, in the event City is unable to use or does not use any part of City's Friant Supply and District reasonably concludes that it cannot effect a Transfer for all of such unused water as Temporarily Unused Friant Water as described in Section 4(g), City shall nevertheless take and pay for such unused water and District shall have the right to use such water for Agricultural Use, but City may require District to so use such water at such locations as City may direct; provided, however, in the event City does not direct the location at which said water shall be used in time that it may be so used or in the event the District Water System will not permit the conveyance of such water to such location when so directed, or if for any other reason the conveyance of such water to such location at that time is not feasible or practicable, District shall have the right to use such water upon the same conditions as are provided in Section 1 O(a). Such use of any such water by District shall not relieve City from any payments required to be made by it under the City Bureau Contract or under the terms of this Agreement and its use by District shall not require any payment from District to City.
13 (c) Except for Rescheduled Water, in the event City is unable to use or does not use any of City's Surface Water that is neither City's Kings River Supply or City's Friant Supply in any Water Year, City shall lose the right to receive such water, and District shall have the right to take and use such water for Agricultural Use in such manner as it may determine. In such event, insofar as the District Water System will permit, and insofar as otherwise may be practicable and equitable as to other landowners, District will use such water for irrigation or percolation in areas in City or east or northeast of City, and will discuss its use with City before it is used elsewhere. However, the ultimate decision concerning such use of such water shall be within the discretion of District.

11. Water Rights Not Transferred. As was the case under the 1976 Agreement, City acknowledges that its rights to City's Kings River Supply under this Agreement are contractual rights and. not water rights. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes or shall be construed or deemed to constitute the sale or transfer of a water right from either party to the other and nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the dedication by either party of water or storage to a public use. No right in any water, storage right or water right owned by District or City shall be acquired or lost by virtue of this Agreement or the actions contemplated hereby. At no time shall City make any claim, assert any right or otherwise seek, confirm or perfect in any forum any legal or beneficial interest, right or title to any of District's water supply or storage rights except as expressly set forth herein.

12. City's Sewage Effluent. City shall retain its sewage effluent and recycled water within the boundaries of District for the term of this Agreement, except with the written consent of District first had and obtained. It is the intent of City and District to develop and execute a new agreement addressing such effluent and recycled water use, and this Agreement is to be interpreted so as to be consistent with such new agreement if and when it is executed by the parties.

13. Acreages and City's Kings River Supply.
(a) City's Water Service Area consists oflncluded Acres and Excluded Acres, and on an annual basis City and District shall prepare a map showing the total number of acres in each area as of the first day of March of each year. When so approved, said map shall be incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit B and shall become a part hereof. Said map shall be amended and reapproved by both parties as of the first day of March each year and added to this Agreement as an updated Exhibit B. However, City shall keep the District currently advised during the year of any new lands outside of City's Water Service Area to which it commences or consents to deliver water, and District shall keep City so advised as to any new lands designated or assessed by it as lands receiving or to receive District Water Service. When so amended and reapproved as of the first day of March of each year, said map shall conclusively establish the boundaries of and the acreage in each area for all purposes of this Agreement. (b) City's Kings River Supply shall be the herein-contracted for percentage of District's Kings River Water Supply. Such percentage shall be based on the ratio oflncluded Acres within City's Water Service Area to the total acres within District's boundaries. In computing the acreage within the Included Acres, the entire acreage shall be measured including properties that may be exempt from assessment for taxation and including adjacent streets, 14 alleys, roads, highways and other public ways to the center lines thereof. As of the execution of Agreement, and based on the land area sizes defined above, City's Kings River Supply is 25.54 percent of the District's Kings River Supply.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and notwithstanding increases in the Included Acres, City's Kings River Supply shall be limited to 29.00 percent of District's Kings River Supply. At such time when the ratio oflncluded Acres within City's Water Service Area to the total acres within District equals 29.00 percent, City's Kings River Supply shall remain fixed at 29.00 percent. City and District mutually agree that the increase percentages reflected in this Section 13 include allowances for moderate growth in Growth Area 1 of City's Sphere oflnfluence as shown in Exhibit C (as depicted as Figure IM-2 of the Fresno General Plan).
(d) To improve, restore, and maintain the availability, reliability, and drought resiliency of the groundwater and surface water resources in the North Kings Sub basin, District shall support, and to the extent it has the legal authority to do so shall require, the establishment of water supply limits on all municipal water systems in the North Kings Subbasin.

District acknowledges that it may enter into surface water utilization and conveyance agreements similar to this one with other municipalities in the Kings Subbasin that provide for the delivery of portions of District's Kings River Supply. Subject to the following paragraph of this Agreement, all such agreements entered into after the date of this Agreement shall provide that the percentage of District's Kings River Supply made available to the municipality entering into such agreement shall be determined in a manner similar and comparable to that applied to City in this Agreement.

Should the District enter into such a water utilization and conveyance agreement with another municipality in the Kings River Sub basin after the date of this Agreement that makes available a percentage of District's Kings River Supply to such municipality determined in a manner that is not similar and comparable to that applied to City in this Agreement, at City's request the parties shall negotiate in good faith an adjustment in City's Kings River Supply to apply the same methodology used, and provide the same percentage increase, as granted to the other municipality; provided, that to the extent such other municipality provides additional consideration to District for such different methodology, City shall provide comparable consideration if it requests that such different methodology be used for this Agreement. Any disputes arising as a result of such negotiation shall be resolved pursuant to Section 19.

14. Payment by City to District. In consideration of the water supplies and services provided by District to City under this Agreement, City shall pay to District each Water Year in which this Agreement is effective the following:
(a) The sum calculated by multiplying the number oflncluded Acres by the per acre assessment imposed as of March 1 of that Water Year on lands in District receiving District Water Service, plus the sum calculated by multiplying the number of Excluded Acres by the per acre assessment imposed as of March 1 of that Water Year on lands in District not receiving District Water Service. Amounts payable to District pursuant to this Section 14(a) shall be paid by City 60% on or before the 20th day of December preceding the Water Year for which such 15 amounts are due, and the remaining 40% shall be paid on or before the 20th day of June of the following Water Year. City and District acknowledge that during the term ofthis Agreement, District may convert its rate structure to include a volumetric charge. Concurrently with such a rate structure modification, the parties shall negotiate modifications to this Section 14 so that charges imposed on City under the revised District rate structure are equitable and comparable in proportion and magnitude to the charges imposed on other District customers receiving water for Agricultural Use. Without limiting the foregoing, any volumetric charges imposed on City shall be determined in the same manner as volumetric charges imposed on other District customers receiving water for Agricultural Use.
(b) An out of season water delivery fee determined in accordance with the procedure described in the attached Exhibit D for each acre foot of water delivered to City under this Agreement as an Out of Season Delivery (the "Water Delivery Fee"). The Water Delivery Fee shall be payable within 30 days after District delivers City an invoice for such fee indicating the amount of water delivered during the invoice period and the total Water Delivery Fee due. City acknowledges that such fee is in part to compensate District for additional costs and risks incurred for operating its system to make Out of Season Deliveries. No such fee shall be due for water deliveries to City under this Agreement that are not Out of Season Deliveries. (c) A rescheduling fee for each acre foot of Rescheduled Water determined in accordance with the procedure described in the attached Exhibit E (the "Rescheduling Fee").

The Rescheduling Fee shall be payable annually after March 1 of each Water Year within 30 days after District delivers City an invoice for such fee indicating the amount of Rescheduled Water for the applicable Water Year and the total Rescheduling Fee due. City acknowledges that the Rescheduling Fee is necessary to compensate District for additional costs and risks incurred to reschedule water for City from one Water Year to the succeeding Water Year. The Rescheduled Water Fee shall not be applied to any of City's Friant Supply carried over in Millerton Lake, as the Bureau has established a separate fee schedule for City to reschedule City's Friant Water Supply from one Water Year to the succeeding Water Year. ( d) While this Agreement is in effect, District shall not impose District assessments or other charges on landowners within City's Water Service Area or adopt special "municipal and industrial" assessments, rates or charges that would be imposed on or as a result of water deliveries to City under this Agreement. Only the amounts described in this Agreement shall be imposed on any party as a result of deliveries of City's Surface Water by District to City. ( e) Time shall be of the essence for the making of the payments described in this Section 14. If any such payment is not made on the date provided, City shall pay to District in addition to said payment costs, penalties and interest equal to those provided by law to be paid by landowners within District for the late payment of assessments. Such costs, penalties and interest are in addition to any other remedy which District may have against City because of City's failure to pay said payment as above provided.
(f) City acknowledges and agrees that the amounts payable by City pursuant to this Section 14 will vary from year to year and may increase over time. City further acknowledges that, while some of such amounts will be determined with reference to District assessments on its landowners, no amounts payable by City under this Agreement are assessments on City's 16 landowners. City further agrees that, as they relate to City, such amounts will be imposed as a matter of contract and are not assessments, fees or charges to which Article XIIID of the California Constitution applies. City shall be permitted to participate in public hearings and meetings held in connection with rate-setting, but City shall not assert that Article XIIID of the California Constitution applies to payments required under this Agreement. If City makes such an assertion, this Agreement may be terminated by District in its entirety as of the last day of February of the next succeeding year by written notice served upon City. City shall be responsible to set its rates to its utility users in accordance with applicable law, and shall indemnify and defend District against any claims or legal actions commenced by City's water users or ratepayers to challenge the amounts payable by or to City.

15. Re-negotiations. City and District acknowledge that changed circumstances in the future may:

1. Result in material changes in the size of City's Water Service Area, the number of Excluded Acres and/or the number oflncluded Acres, and/or

11. Render the amount of City's Kings River Supply as an increasing percentage of District's Kings River Water Supply inequitable.

Such changed circumstances could result from, among other causes:

1. Annexations or detachments from City and/or District;

11. Updates in City's Urban Water Management Plan or the Fresno General Plan; 111. Significant regional economic development projects that require the extension of the City Water System outside of City's Water Service Area. Significant regional economic development projects shall be those that qualify for federal, state, county, or local economic development incentives; or 1v. New legal, regulatory, or environmental requirements placed on water supply agencies by a state or federal government agency.

Should either party to this Agreement determine after January 1, 2036 that such changed circumstances have arisen, it may notify the other of such determination and request that the parties meet to discuss mutually acceptable changes in the number of Excluded Acres, the number oflncluded Acres and/or the percentage used to determine City's Kings River Supply.

Neither party shall be required to engage in such discussions prior to January 1, 2036.

The parties shall thereupon meet in good faith in an attempt to reach agreement on such changes; provided, that if no such agreement is reached within 180 days of the initial meeting, neither party shall be obligated to continue such meetings.

The number of Excluded Acres, the number of Included Acres and City's Kings River Supply shall remain unchanged pending agreement on the changes, and therein documented by a written amendment to this Agreement and executed by both parties. 17 16. Protection of District Facilities. City shall not permit the development of any parcel of land or the use of any public utility or other easements affecting land within its boundaries if any of the District Water System is located on, under or adjacent to such parcel until City, the landowner and/or the developer enters into an agreement acceptable to District for the repair, rehabilitation, relocation, replacement, reconfiguration or pipelining of the facilities on the parcel, and on any adjacent parcels, all as District determines is necessary or appropriate in order to (i) avoid disruption of District operations or maintenance activities as a result of the development, (ii) make District facilities suitable for operation within a developed area, or (iii) address public safety concerns.

17. No Warranty of Quality. City recognizes that City's Surface Water will be "raw," nonpotable and untreated, and that the amount of water included in City's Surface Water will vary from year to year due to a variety of factors beyond the control of District. City further recognizes that wastewater (both treated and untreated) and drainage water are sometimes discharged into the District's canals, and that such discharges from a number or sources will occur and/or continue during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, District makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality of the water or the amount of water to be delivered to City each Water Year. City recognizes that the treatment of City's Surface Water to make it potable shall be the sole responsibility of City, and City shall assume all risk and responsibility therefor. The character or quality of the water furnished or conveyed hereunder may vary from time to time for reasons including, but not restricted to, the application by District of chemicals to control aquatic and ditch bank weeds, and the open canals of District are always subject to possible pollution from outside sources.

District does not guarantee in any respect or assume any responsibility for the chemical, bacterial or other quality of the water made available to City through the District Water System.

18. Indemnity. City and District each agree to indemnify the other and save the other free and harmless of and from any and all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, incurred or suffered by the other, by reason of damage to the property of the other or injury to any other person or property arising out of its own conduct, acts, omissions or faults, in connection with any matter related to this contract.

19. Dispute Resolution.
(a) District and City staff shall exercise every effort to resolve disputes through the development of a consensus.
(b) To the extent District and City staff cannot promptly resolve an issue in dispute; the parties shall promptly convene a meeting of senior party representatives to attempt to resolve the dispute. Either party may request a dispute resolution meeting pursuant to this section by providing written notice to the other party, including a summary of the issue in dispute. District representatives shall be its Board chair or president and another Board member. City representatives shall be the Mayor and City Council President. These senior party representatives shall make reasonable efforts to meet as frequently and as promptly as possible to negotiate the terms and conditions of a resolution. If these party representatives are unable to resolve the dispute through this informal process within a reasonable period, either party may pursue any remedy it may have under law or equity.
18 ( c) The dispute resolution process described above shall be limited to material disputes regarding matters related to Transfers, expenditures from the Water Supply Development Fund, changes in City's Kings River Supply, revisions of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(d), City's Friant Supply, changes proposed for Exhibits B or C, calculation procedures for fees for Out Of Season Deliveries and Rescheduling Fees, and similar matters. ( d) In cases where a dispute arises between the parties that, if unresolved, may result in imminent danger to the public, health, safety or welfare, the parties shall not be obligated to engage in dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 19.

20. Defense of Agreement. In the event of litigation this Agreement, the parties shall cooperate to provide a joint defense of the litigation. Each party shall bear its own costs of such litigation, including attorneys' fees and expert witness fees.

A water shortage occurs when the water supply is reduced to a level that cannot support typical demand at any given time. The WSCP is used to provide guidance to the City’s governing body and staff and the public by identifying response actions to allow for responsible management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. Preparation provides the tools to maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of supply interruptions due to extended drought and catastrophic supply interruptions.

The WSCP describes the following:

1. Water Supply Reliability Analysis: summarizes the City’s water supply analysis and reliability and identifies any key issues that may trigger a shortage condition

2. Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures: describes the key data inputs, evaluation criteria, and methodology for assessing the system’s reliability for the coming year and the steps to formally declare any water shortage levels and response actions

3. Six Standard Shortage Stages: establishes water shortage levels to clearly identify and prepare for shortages

4. Shortage Response Actions: describes the response actions that may be implemented or considered for each stage to reduce gaps between supply and demand as well as minimize social and economic impacts to the community

5. Communication Protocols: describes communication protocols under each stage to ensure customers, the public, and government agencies are informed of shortage conditions and requirements

6. Compliance and Enforcement: defines compliance and enforcement actions available to administer demand reductions

7. Legal Authority: lists the legal documents that grant the City the authority to declare a water shortage and implement and enforce response actions

8. Financial Consequences of WSCP Implementation: describes the anticipated financial impact of implementing water shortage stages and identifies mitigation strategies to offset financial burdens

9. Monitoring and Reporting: summarizes the monitoring and reporting techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of shortage response actions and overall WSCP implementation, with results used to determine if additional shortage response actions should be activated or if efforts are successful and response actions should be reduced

10. WSCP Refinement Procedures: describes the factors that may trigger updates to the WSCP and outlines how to complete an update

11. Special Water Features Distinctions: identifies exemptions for ponds, lakes, fountains, pools, and spas, etc.

12. Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability: describes the process for the WSCP adoption, submittal, and availability after each revision

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
This WSCP was prepared in conjunction with the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed. This document is compliant with the California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632 and incorporated guidance from the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) UWMP Guidebook.

Water purveyor planning for possible water supply shortages has become an increasingly important subject considering the drought conditions over the last several years. The City adopted its first WSCP in 1994 in response to the 1991 Assembly Bill 11X, which mandated all water purveyors with more than 3,000 connections develop a WSCP. The WSCP was revised as part of the 2005 UWMP and adopted by the City in 2008. The WSCP was further refined in 2016 during preparation of the 2015 UWMP and is being updated in 2021 as a standalone document, developed in parallel with the 2020 UWMP. The 2020 WSCP is still based on the original 1994 plan. The revisions are intended to meet new CWC requirements and streamline the plan’s usefulness and enable the City to manage the necessary conservation measures to be enacted if a water shortage condition exists. The 2020 WSCP will be reviewed and adopted in conjunction with the 2020 UWMP.

The plan is intended to provide guidance, rather than absolute direction, for City action in response to water shortages and provide the City with options to responsibly manage water shortages.

1.2 Water Supply Reliability Analysis
This section is consistent with CWC Section 10632(a)(1) and describes the key findings of the water supply reliability analysis conducted pursuant to CWC Section 10635, which is presented in Chapter 7 of the City’s 2020 UWMP. As part of the 2020 UWMP, water suppliers must perform long-term (2025-2045) water service reliability assessment to evaluate reliability under normal, single dry year, and five-year consecutive dry year periods and a short-term (2021-2025) Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) to evaluate reliability under a five-year consecutive dry year period. Water supply reliability reflects the City’s ability to meet the water needs of its customers with water supplies under varying conditions. The analysis considers plausible hydrological and regulatory variability, infrastructure capacity, climate conditions, and other factors that affect the City’s water supply and demand.

The City’s current water supply portfolio includes groundwater from the Kings Subbasin, surface water from the Central Valley Project Friant Division through a contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), and surface water from the Kings River through a contract with Fresno Irrigation District (FID), as well as recycled water produced at the Fresno-Clovis Regional Water Reclamation Facility and North Fresno Water Reclamation Facility. The City manages the surface water supplies and groundwater conjunctively such that surface water supplies are used more heavily for direct use and recharge during wet periods and groundwater is used more heavily during dry periods. Over the long term, the City aims to maximize recharge to store water for future use and help groundwater levels recover. Key issues that may create a shortage conditions include reduced surface water availability due to dry hydrologic conditions, reduction in groundwater due to contamination issues, or emergency conditions that reduce the City’s water supply.

The water supply reliability analysis concluded that the City’s supply portfolio is highly reliable and allows the City flexibility to use a majority of surface water when available in normal years and switch to a majority of groundwater in dry years, when surface water supplies are reduced.

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
The City is projected to meet potable demands with its existing supplies in all year types through conjunctive use of its groundwater and the City is projected to recharge water in most years to help store water for dry years.

1.3 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment
As established by CWC Section 10632.1, urban water suppliers must conduct an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment (Annual Assessment) and submit an Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report to DWR, with the first deadline July 1, 20221. The Annual Assessment is an evaluation of the short-term outlook for supplies and demands for the current year and one projected single dry year conditions to determine whether the potential for a supply shortage exists and whether there is a need to trigger a WSCP shortage stage, appropriate response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication protocols.

1.3.1 Key Data Inputs
Key data inputs and their sources for the Annual Assessments are summarized in Table 1, and described below.

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan

1.3.1.1 Customer Demands
Upcoming year customer demands will be estimated based on the previous year’s demand, with increases to address: (1) near-term projected growth of customers; (2) unconstrained water use if the previous year included any water use restrictions; and (3) potential water losses not accounted for in the previous year’s demand.

1.3.1.2 Recharge Demands
Upcoming year recharge demands will be estimated by (1) availability of surface water not used at the surface water treatment facilities (SWTFs) and (2) projected availability of recharge basins.

1.3.1.3 State Mandates
The City has historically been required by the State to reduce demand regardless of supply reliability at the given time. As described previously, compliance with State mandates for water use efficiency can be declared during drought or in preparation for future droughts, such as in response to the governor’s drought declarations in the 2012–2016 drought with subsequent Executive Order B-37-16 and related legislation for Making Conservation a California Way of Life. The City may consider State mandates and mandatory compliance with water use efficiency standards in determining water shortage levels.

1.3.1.4 Surface Water
The City has contracts for surface water with USBR and FID. The available surface water is dependent on hydrology, and in dry years less surface water is available to the City. Final allocations from both USBR and FID are known in April of each year, following the rainy season.

In April, the City works with FID to develop a delivery schedule of surface water supplies and submits it USBR. The surface water allocation and delivery schedule will determine the City’s operation of its SWTFs for the year, recharge operations, and if it will engage in any exchanges or transfers of supplies. In dry years, when less surface water is available, the City will also plan for increased groundwater use to meet its demands.

1.3.1.5 Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater level and production trends will be compiled and considered by the City staff, or with a hydrogeologist, based on the following actions:
• Plot static groundwater levels on hydrographs to determine trends. • Plot historic and projected production data to determine trends. • Compare historic and projected groundwater levels against production data for average and dry years.

1.3.1.6 Infrastructure Capacity
Infrastructure capabilities and overall production will be analyzed to determine if a possible power outage or deficiency may occur or continue in the coming year due to a variety of factors, potentially including human-caused or natural catastrophic events. This analysis may include well replacement, evaluation of wells for possible contamination, SWTFs capacities, and other considerations.

1.3.2 Evaluation Criteria
Staff will use the key data inputs to develop and compare supply and demand projections to determine if water shortage actions may be necessary. A preliminary Annual Assessment template is included in Attachment 1. Note that supply projections will incorporate infrastructure constraints and an operational buffer factor of 10% will be added to the demand estimate to account for supply and demand projection uncertainties. The estimated amount of supply available versus the estimated demand will be compared with the water shortage condition triggers presented in Table 2. Various trigger conditions, which summarize specific evaluation criteria for each shortage level and can be used to determine a water shortage level, are described in the following sections. Triggers are based on current conditions, and the City will evaluate these triggers and modify them as needed.

A shortage emergency may be declared when it is demonstrated that conditions threaten the ability to provide water for public health, safety, and welfare of the community. Furthermore, compliance with State mandates for water use efficiency can be declared during drought or in preparation for future droughts, such as in response to the governor’s drought declarations in the 2012–2016 drought with subsequent Executive Order B-37-16 and related legislation for “Making Conservation a California Way of Life”.

Short-term and long-term supply shortages may be caused by constrained production capacity or natural or human-caused catastrophic emergencies, such as: power outages, winter storms, wildfires, earthquakes, structural failures, contamination, and bomb threats. These types of emergencies may limit the City’s immediate ability to provide adequate water service to meet the requirements for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection. Impacts of such emergencies vary in duration. Thus, consumption reduction measures and prohibitions may differ for short-term and long-term conditions or shortages.

1.3.3 Annual Assessment Procedures
City staff will perform the Annual Assessment following initial allocations from USBR and initial projections for Kings River entitlements by FID, which is typically at the end of rainy season in April. The Annual Assessments are due to DWR by July 1 of each year2 with the first Annual Assessment Report due to DWR by July 1, 2022. A preliminary annual assessment timeline is shown in Figure 1. The City may update the assessment after submission if key data inputs substantially change or other new information becomes available. 2 For USBR contractors, the assessment is due by July 1 or within 14 days of receiving final USBR water allocation, whichever is later.

Appendix J
City of Fresno

Final
2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
Steps to conduct the Annual Assessment are as follows:

1. Staff gathers the key inputs, compiles historical data, and analyzes potential supply and demand gaps.

2. Demand trends, water supply conditions, and production capacity are analyzed.

3. A hydrogeologist may be consulted to provide additional groundwater condition information.

4. City Public Utilities staff will review findings and, if necessary, determine a recommended level of conservation required at the implementation or termination of each stage that will then be brought to the City Manager or Mayor for approval.

5. The City Manager, or designee, will declare and implement the level of conservation required at the implementation or termination of each level, and the declaration shall remain in effect until the City Manager, or designee, so otherwise declares. If a conservation level declaration is made, the declaration shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation.

6. The City will develop and/or implement appropriate communication protocols and applicable response actions.

a For USBR contractors, the assessment is due by July 1 or within 14 days of receiving final USBR water allocation, whichever is later.

1.4 Standard Water Shortage Levels
This section is consistent with CWC Section 10632(a)(2) and describes the City’s water shortage levels. New to the 2020 UWMP, water suppliers must now consider six standard water shortage levels. Shortage levels indicate the gap between supply and demand compared to normal-year conditions. DWR standardized six shortage levels to provide a consistent regional and statewide approach to measure water supply shortage conditions. The six shortage levels correspond to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and greater than 50% shortage in supplies compared to demands under normal conditions. However, a water supplier may use its own shortage levels if a crosswalk is included, relating its existing shortage levels to the six standard levels.

The City has elected to keep the previously established four water shortage stages from the 2016 WSCP and add a fifth stage to classify supply shortage greater than 50%. A crosswalk between the City’s stages and DWR’s standard levels is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Water Shortage Stages Crosswalk
Although the water shortage stages are classified by the same percentages as the 2015 UWMP, the City has reevaluated the supply conditions and criteria to enter that stage to better reflect its supply portfolio in comparison to demand. Table 2 lists the water shortage stages and the conditions that would trigger each stage. Any stage listed within the WSCP may be enacted by the City Manager, or designee, as deemed appropriate based on the water shortage condition.

1.5 Shortage Response Actions
The Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) contains sections on water conservation that are to take place under normal water supply conditions. Regulations in place under normal water supply conditions encourage smart water use and help the City manage its water supply. Some of those regulations include year-round outdoor water schedules; turf type restrictions; turf irrigation methods; and prohibition of willful or negligent water wasting, flood irrigating, washing hardscape with potable water, and frequent draining of pools. Additional details of these regulations can be found in FMC Section 6-520(a) (Attachment 2). These restrictions are mandated year-round by the City and must be observed. In addition to the normal restrictions on water usage, the City developed shortage response actions to implement during a water shortage on the City level and consumer level in order to reduce demands that are described in Section 1.5.2 and detailed in Table 3.

In the event of a potential water shortage, the City will evaluate the cause of the shortage to help inform which response actions should be implemented. Depending on the nature of the water shortage, the City can elect to implement one or several response actions to mitigate the shortage and reduce gaps between supply and demand. The City has identified actions that fall within the demand reduction, supply augmentation, operational changes, and additional mandatory restrictions, as stated by DWR. It should be noted that all prohibitions listed for Stage 1 will apply to Stage 2 and, likewise, all restrictions that apply to Stage 2 will apply to Stage 3 and so on, until Stage 5 is reached. Also, due to the City’s diverse supply portfolio, Stage 1 imposes only voluntary consumer reductions, while Stages 2–5 all include mandatory reduction actions. If necessary, the City may adopt additional actions not listed here in extreme circumstances.

1.5.1 Year-Round Measures
FMC Section 6-520(a) lists actions that are prohibited at all times, whether or not there is a shortage condition and include:
• Use of potable water to irrigate or water outdoor landscaping in a manner that causes runoff. • Keep, maintain, operate, or use any water connection, hose, faucet, hydrant, pipe, outlet, or plumbing fixture which is not tight and free from leakage. • Willfully or negligently waste water as defined in FMC Section 6-501. • Sprinkle or irrigate any yard, ground, premise, or vegetation except as set forth in the City's Outdoor Water Use Schedule.
• Sprinkle or irrigate any yard, ground, premise, or vegetation, unless watering device used is controlled by a shutoff device or a person is in immediate attendance of the hose or watering device.
• Prohibit use of potable water to wash sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, open ground, or other hard-surfaced areas, except where necessary for public health or safety. • Use potable water in a fountain or other decorative water feature, except where the water is part of a recirculating system.
• Irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians with potable water, except where the turf serves a community or neighborhood function, there is incidental irrigation by an irrigation system designed to irrigate trees, or the turf is irrigated with recycled water.

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
• Irrigating outdoor landscapes with potable water during and within 48 hours after measurable rain.
• Serve drinking water other than upon request in eating or drinking establishments, including but not limited to, restaurants, hotels, cafes, cafeterias, bars, or other public places where food or drink are served or purchased.
• Irrigate landscapes outside of newly constructed homes and buildings in a manner inconsistent with regulations or other requirements established by the California Building Standards Commission and the Department of Housing and Community Development. • Automatically changing towels and linens in hotels and motels daily. Operators of hotels and motels shall provide guests the option of choosing not to have towels and linens laundered daily.
• Drain swimming pools more than once every three years, except as necessary to complete structural repairs or to comply with public health standards, as determined by the County Health Officer.
• Prohibit filling new or refurbished swimming pools without obtaining a pool fill permit from the City.
• Refill (top off) established swimming pools except during times when outdoor water use is allowed at the property address pursuant to the Outdoor Water Use Schedule The City may update these year-round restrictions in the future as needed. For the latest permanent restrictions refer to FMC Section 6-520(a) (Attachment 2) and the latest WSCP Resolution (Attachment 3).

1.5.2 Demand Reduction
The City has identified a variety of demand reduction actions to offset supply shortages. Demand reduction measures are strategies intended to decrease water demand to close the gap between supply and demand. Demand reduction actions available to the City that may be considered during water shortage conditions are summarized in Table 3. Although it is difficult to estimate the volume of savings for each action, the City expects to meet required reductions through a combination of response actions in conjunction with outreach and communication efforts to the extent necessary to mitigate any impacts from a water shortage.

1.5.3 Supply Augmentation
Given the consistent supply of groundwater through pumping, the City has no immediate plan to augment supply. However, the City could purchase additional USBR or FID surface water, if available. Also, the Cities of Fresno and Clovis have an agreement for interconnection of their potable water systems to provide service during emergencies and other times of hardship in either community. Although these options are discretionary and quantifying their ability to reduce the shortage gap can vary significantly, they are readily available if needed, as indicated in Table

1.5.4 Operational Changes
Operational changes to address a short-term water shortage may be implemented based on the severity of the reduction goal. The City can maximize its supply by implementing operational strategies and demand reduction measures. As part of the Annual Assessment process, the City will consider their operational procedures at the time of a shortage to identify changes that can be implemented to address water shortage on a short-term basis, including but not limited to:
• Utilization of a SWTF to treat pumped groundwater to offset lack of surface water supply • Expansion of public information campaign to educate and inform customers of the water shortage emergency and required water savings
• Decrease line flushing to only on a compliant basis strictly using the currently operational NO DES truck
• Use water patrols and increase frequency of meter reading by recruiting staff from other departments if necessary
• Offer water use surveys
• Implementing or modifying drought rate structure or surcharge or water emergency tiered pricing, pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218 and in accordance with California Law
• Prohibit any new permits for hydrant-construction or temporary construction meters. • Monitoring construction meters and fire hydrant meters for efficient water use in the event that a meter identified wastes water.

Appendix J
City of Fresno

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
• Moratorium on issuing any new building permit unless the: (a) Project is found by the City Manager, or designee, to be necessary for public health, safety. (b) Project will use recycled water for construction. (c) Project will not result in a net increase in non-recycled water use. (d) Project has adequate Conservation Offsets
• Suspending the consideration of annexation to its service area unless the annexation increases the water supply available more than the anticipated demands of the property to be annexed
• Reducing overhead in the short-term and mid-term by deferring non-critical Capital Improvement Plan projects and major maintenance expenditures, and in the long-term by adjusting operational and staffing levels and retail water rate structures to incorporate the reality of lower retail water sales than previously anticipated. • Decrease in the level or, if need be, even a total interruption in the expenditures for the agency’s facility replacement program. Non-critical replacement projects will have little or no impact on the agency or its customers and would only extend the master planned replacement schedule.

1.5.5 Emergency Response Plan
In addition to responding to drought conditions, the City’s WSCP can be used to respond to emergency or catastrophic conditions that impact the availability of the City’s water supplies, and/or the ability to deliver water within the City’s service area. Potential events are listed below:
• Loss of surface water supply
• Loss of groundwater supply
• Area-wide electrical power failure
• Natural disaster — earthquake or flood
In the event of a supply interruption, there are several measures that could be taken that would mitigate the overall negative impacts of a water shortage. The following discussion indicates possible events and actions to maintain water service to the service area.

The City has an agreement with the City of Clovis that discusses an intertie system between the two cities that could provide service during emergencies and other times of hardship in either community. The agreement covers interconnections, including apportionment of capital costs, at two locations: Leonard Avenue at the Gould Canal alignment and Behymer Avenue at Willow Avenue. The Leonard interconnection was constructed and remains in place for emergency uses through manual operation. The agreement also provided for temporary deliveries from Fresno to northern Clovis through the Behymer connection through 2015. However, the Behymer interconnection has yet to be constructed.

The City also cooperates with the County of Fresno’s Office of Emergency Services, and the WSCP is included in the County’s Disaster Plan. The goal during any emergency scenario is to maintain water supply such that the health and safety of the community is protected.

In the event of contamination of either the surface or ground water supplies, the non-impacted water supply could be used more heavily or the intertie with the City of Clovis could be activated.

Additionally, overall demand reduction and the use of other wells or treated surface water would help meet demands.

If a regional power outage were to occur, the City could use backup power generators to operate wells. This measure, in conjunction with demand reduction, could supply sufficient water for health and safety purposes. The City has more than 35 wells with backup power sources. The Appendix J

Final
2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
City has budgeted for the installation of a backup generator for the Northeast Wastewater Reclamation Facility. The Southeast SWTF and T-3 SWTF are also equipped with backup power generators.

If a natural disaster occurs, in addition to the actions discussed above, the City will isolate any areas of the system that were compromised for emergency repairs and, potentially, use of the intertie with the City of Clovis. Implementing the WSCP could also occur to reduce demands.

For more information on actions during an emergency, refer to the City of Fresno’s Risk and Resilience Assessment Report finalized in September 2020 (AARC Consultants, LLC, 2020) and the City of Fresno Emergency Response Plan finalized in March 2020 (AARC Consultants, LLC, 2020).

1.5.6 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
Refer to Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan implemented in May 2018, Annex E: City of Fresno attached in Attachment 4, for appropriate Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan procedures.

1.5.7 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness
The City of Fresno has assessed its overall water reduction by evaluating the water usage trends that were discussed in SBX7-7 in conjunction with the American Water Works Association water loss calculator. See Chapters 5 and 4 of the 2020 UWMP, respectively, for additional information.

The overall decrease of water use per capita and compliance with the 2020 per capita water use target indicate that the reduction measures have been effective in the community. All of the City’s customers are metered and the City will use these devices to monitor actual reductions in water use during enacted shortage levels compared to normal year conditions. This data allows the City to determine the effectiveness of the implemented shortage response actions. If reduction goals are not being met, the City Manager, or designee, can make the necessary decisions for corrective action to be taken.

1.6 Communication Protocols
The City’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) currently has a contract with JP Marketing to manage communication and outreach to the customers. The firm’s services include strategic planning, creative concepts, public relations, marketing, promotion, research, advertising, media design, copywriting, event creation, and online services. The City also has a public information officer and communications team whose purpose is to communicate water shortage procedures or general utility information effectively and efficiently to the customers.

During normal supply conditions, the Water Division implements informational campaigns to customers that emphasize user-level changes in water use and overall mindfulness of water waste while promoting voluntary conservation. Over the past few years, DPU has increased use of social media to communicate with customers quickly and organically. The City uses Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote water saving tips, notify of shortage conditions, and spotlight DPU employees to foster a sense of community centered around the water supply.

The City strives to be proactive in communicating work strategy and conservation efforts with customers.

1 Information posted on the City’s website
1 Social media posts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Nextdoor) 2 Information included in utility bill inserts on a regular basis 2 Promotion of rebates and water conservation services
2 Letters, postcards, and flyers mailed to customers impacted by water use regulations
2 Targeted outreach and technical assistance to highest water users in each use class
2 Engage City councilmembers with resources to share with constituents 3 Increased paid advertising — print, online, radio, TV, streaming, social media, etc.
3 Messaging printed directly on utility bills
3 Press releases to local media (online and print newspapers, TV, radio, etc.) 3 Assembly and promotion of the speaker’s bureau for water shortage presentations for neighborhood groups, gardening clubs, homeowners’ associations, churches, senior centers, neighborhood associations, business associations, community groups, property management companies, etc. 4 Increased coordination with the local landscaping industry, including water shortage information in their newsletters, publications, and facilities; local wholesale and retail nurseries; and irrigation supply stores 4 Signage posted at nurseries and irrigation supply stores 4 Outreach materials and drought notices mailed to the hospitality industry, including restaurants and lodging
Note: If a water shortage progresses through multiple stages all measures in the previous stage(s) are implemented in addition to current stage actions.

1.7 Compliance and Enforcement
The City has penalties for violation of the water use restrictions in Table 3. The City tracks customer usage through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in order to enforce water wastage during shortage conditions as detailed in Section 1.10. The fines are noted in Table 6.

Penalties for water waste are based on FMC, Section 6-520(e).

6 If a customer has more than six incident months of water wastage within a one-year period, the City may implement any or all of the following measures:
• Require the customer to get a landscape evaluation, lawn water audit, and water budget, as appropriate, in order to learn efficient water use. This work shall be completed at the customer’s expense by landscape irrigation auditors certified by the Irrigation Association.
• Installation by the City of flow restrictors or termination of water service.
• Require a customer to repair any defects in their watering system within 14 days of notice by the City.

Note:
a Number of incident months are based on a calendar year.

1.8 Legal Authorities
CWC Section 375 provides the City with the statutory authority to adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions, and CWC Sections 350 et seq. authorize the City to declare a water shortage emergency and impose water conservation measures when it is determined that the City may not be able to satisfy ordinary demands without depleting supplies to an insufficient level.

If necessary, the City will declare a water shortage emergency in accordance with CWC Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 350) of Division 1. Once having declared a water shortage, the City is provided with broad powers to implement and enforce regulations and restrictions for managing a water shortage. For example, CWC section 375(a) provides the following:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, any public entity which supplies water at retail or wholesale for the benefit of persons within the service area or area of jurisdiction of the public entity may, by ordinance or resolution adopted by a majority of the members of the governing body after holding a public hearing upon notice and making appropriate findings of necessity for the adoption of a water conservation program, adopt and enforce a water conservation program to reduce the quantity of water used by those persons for the purpose of conserving the water supplies of the public entity.”
Appendix J
City of Fresno
July 2021 18
Final
2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
Water Code Section 375(a). CWC Section 375(b) grants the City with the authority to set prices to encourage water conservation.

Under California law, including CWC Chapter 3.3 and Chapter 3.5 of Division 1, Parts 2.55 and

2.6 of Division 6, Division 13, and Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution, the City is authorized to implement the water shortage actions outlined in this WSCP. Prior to enacting a shortage level, the resolution providing the Council with authority to enact each level of the WSCP will be adopted. Resolutions to enact the WSCP can be adopted at any meeting of the City Council. The resolution providing the City Manager, or designee, with authority to enact each stage of the WSCP is included in Attachment 6.

The City shall also coordinate with any city or county within which it provides water supply services, as listed below, for the possible proclamation of a local emergency under California Government Code, California Emergency Services Act (Article 2, Section 8558).

1.9 Financial Consequences of WSCP
This section is in accordance with CWC Section 10632(a)(8) and describes the financial consequences of implementing the WSCP and potential mitigation strategies. The City anticipates reduced revenue while implementing the WSCP because of decreased water use by its customers and additional costs associated with implementing water use restrictions and associated reduction actions. The incurred cost may vary depending on the shortage stage and duration of the water shortage emergency. The cost of compliance may be tracked when a shortage is declared. The City may track the staff time and resources used to implement the WSCP, including reduced revenue, implementation and enforcement of shortage response actions, and communication and outreach efforts. Impacts of implementing the WSCP include:
• Impact of quantity of water sales on revenue
• Increased staff, salaries, and overtime required for implementing and enforcing restrictions • Increased costs of new supplies, transfers, or other exchanges In 2015, the mandatory conservation goal for the City was 28%, however the corresponding revenue reductions were less than 28% due to the City having a two-component water rate structure that includes the fixed “water meter service charge” for all service connections and a volumetric-based “water quantity charge.” Therefore, the reduction in revenues was affected by a lesser percentage than the overall total reduction in water use. In general, revenue impacts specified in the WSCP would be offset with a combination of the following:
• An increase in water commodity and service charges
• A reduction in annual operating expenses due to decreased demands • Reserves currently earmarked for long range capital
• General tax fund revenues currently earmarked for future capital improvements Methods to mitigate revenue/expenditure impacts are discussed in detail below.

1.9.1 Drought Rate Structures and Surcharges
At present, the City does not have in place a drought rate structure. The City plans to hire a rate consultant to review existing water rates and, if appropriate, develop new future water rates. As an additional task to this effort, the consultant will review, develop, and recommend a drought rate structure for the City’s consideration. With such a rate structure in place, should a water shortage take place, the City will be able to institute an alternate water rate structure that may Appendix J
City of Fresno
July 2021 19
Final
2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
apply and change depending on the stage of drought that the community is experiencing. At this time, there are no details as to how the rate structure will be developed, but conceptually each of the five stages specified in the WSCP would have a water rate increase associated with it.

The use of this type of structure during a drought will minimize expenditure impacts that are incurred during a drought. The effects of the decrease in revenue due to the drought, with a corresponding increase in expenditure, will allow for the City to function without going into debt.

1.9.2 Use of Financial Reserves
The City of Fresno Water System maintains two reserve funding sources that can be used to meet a portion of the utility’s revenue requirements during emergency or drought conditions.

They are as follows:
• Water Operating Reserves – This is cash set aside in the Water Enterprise Fund that provides a “rainy day savings account” for unexpected cash flow shortages and large, unexpected expenses or losses. Normally, these reserves are not intended to be used to make up income shortfalls. However, in an emergency situation, they can be transferred to the Water Rate Stabilization Fund (see below) for transfer back to the Water Enterprise Fund to meet revenue requirements, including debt coverage ratios.
• Water Rate Stabilization Fund – Indentures from previous bond issuances required the establishment of the Water Rate Stabilization Fund. These funds can be drawn on to meet a portion of the utility’s revenue requirements through unexpected low-revenue periods and may be applied to debt coverage ratio calculations to help avoid technical default of bond covenants and loan agreements.

In addition, the City maintains funding in the Emergency Reserve Fund for the purpose of meeting unforeseen emergencies (see Section 1212 of the City’s Charter for more information).

This funding may be used by an affirmative vote of at least five members of the City Council upon presentation of a statement declaring the reason for use of the funding. This funding would be used only if the Water System reserves were insufficient to meet revenue requirements.

1.9.3 Other Measures
If the funding mentioned above is not sufficient to compensate for loss of revenue during a water shortage, the City may temporarily suspend components of its operations and maintenance activities.

1.10 Monitoring and Reporting
As described in Section 1.3, the City will track its supplies and project demands annually as part of the Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment, and, if conditions described in Table 2 are projected, the City will enact its WSCP. Monitoring demands is essential to ensure the WSCP response actions are adequately meeting reductions and decreasing the supply/demand gap.

This will help to analyze the effectiveness of the WSCP or identify the need to activate additional response actions.

The City currently has AMI technology to monitor customer water usage and uses its AMI system to automatically enforce demand reduction measures and restrictions. The AMI system is currently set up to monitor and enforce outdoor watering restrictions. The program monitors customer meter flows against an “excessive use” flowrate, which will vary based on the WSCP stage. The system flags customer meters exceeding the excessive use flowrate during a Appendix J

2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
day/time outside of permitted outdoor watering hours as excessive use and an incident of water waste. If a customer has one or more incidents of water waste during a month, the customer shall be issued a Notice of Water Waste and, if applicable, be charged fines and penalties. The City may expand this monitoring program in the future to monitor other uses beyond outdoor watering restrictions.

The City can also use the detailed water usage data to monitor customers’ response and demand reduction due to restrictions for each stage in the WSCP. The many restrictions and prohibitions assigned to each stage in Table 3 are inherently flexible so the City can implement certain the restrictions, monitor customer usage, and implement additional restrictions if the demand reductions are not sufficient to close the supply and demand gap. The City also intends to provide reporting to the State based on forthcoming regulations for monthly reporting of water production and other water uses, along with associated enforcement metrics.

1.11 WSCP Refinement Procedures
The City intends to use this WSCP as an adaptive management plan to respond to foreseeable and unforeseeable water shortages. The WSCP is used to provide guidance to the City’s governing body and staff and the public by identifying response actions to allow for efficient management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. To maintain a useful and efficient standard of practice in water shortage conditions, the requirements, criteria, and response actions need to be continually evaluated and improved on to make sure the WSCP provides the tools to maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of supply shortages.

This 2020 WSCP accounts for the latest analysis of the City’s robust supply portfolio in relation to demand and adjusted percentage reduction stages to reflect a more appropriate supply shortage that should trigger stages. This is a process that should be reevaluated annually and updated as necessary. Potential changes to the WSCP that would warrant an update include any changes to shortage level triggers, changes to the shortage level structure, and changes to the response actions. Any prospective changes to the WSCP would need to be presented at a public hearing; staff would obtain any comments and adopt the updated WSCP. The steps to formally amend the WSCP are discussed in Section 1.13.

Potential refinements will be documented and integrated into the next WSCP update. If new response actions are identified by staff or the public, these could be advertised as voluntary actions until they are formally adopted as mandatory.

1.12 Special Water Feature Distinction
CWC Section 10623 (b) requires that suppliers analyze and define water features that are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, separately from swimming pools and spas, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 115921 of the Health and Safety Code. As listed in Table 3 and Section 1.5.1, there are separate requirements for decorative water features — including decorative fountains, lakes, or ponds — and for pools and spas. The City has separate response actions, enforcement actions, and monitoring programs for both decorative water features and pools and spas. Non-pool or non-spa water features may use or be able to use recycled water, whereas pools and spas must use potable water for health and safety considerations. Limitations to pools and spas may require different considerations compared to non-pool or non-spa water features.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.1
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
E.1 Community Profile
Figure E.1 displays a map and the location within Fresno County of the City of Fresno and its Sphere of Influence.

Figure E.1: The City of Fresno
E.1.1 Geography and Climate
The City of Fresno and its Sphere of Influence encompass a 100,400-acre area in central Fresno County. Over the past decade, the City has expanded into the northern, northwestern, and eastern reaches of its Sphere of Influence. Except for the deep channel of the San Joaquin River at the northern boundary of the City, Fresno’s topography is generally level and slopes gently to the southwest. The upper San Joaquin River lies at the City’s northerly boundary and has carved a deep channel, confining the river between steep bluffs that range from 20 to approximately 100 feet in height.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.2
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Fresno has a Mediterranean climate, averaging over 262 sunny days per year and little or no measurable precipitation from June through September. Annual rainfall typically totals 12-14 inches in episodic events lasting up to a few days at most. Fresno’s prevailing winds are typically light and from the northwest.

Storms with strong weather disturbances (lightning and very agitated winds) may occur from autumn months through the spring, with the strength of the storm dependent upon temperature gradients between moving weather fronts.

Winter mornings in December and January approach freezing but only rarely reach as low as, or below, 32ºF; winter daytime high temperatures almost always approach or exceed 40ºF. Snowfall is an extremely rare and transient phenomenon; the last recorded snowfall in Fresno was ½ inch on December 20, 1998. The Tule fog, a thick ground fog that settles in the San Joaquin Valley from late fall through early spring, is the leading cause of weather-related accidents in California.

In addition to causing visibility issues, “black ice” from precipitated fog may temporarily affect some roadways and bridges during the winter.

Summer daytime peak temperatures are high in Fresno. Some heat waves last over a week with daytime highs well over 100ºF and issuance of health advisories. Summer evenings provide for some cooling of 10-15ºF with the early morning daybreak hours cooling by 20-30ºF, depending on humidity (low humidity allows for more radiant cooling).

Geography and climate combine to create a general accumulation of air pollutants in the San Joaquin Valley (and in the City of Fresno) that occasionally result in unhealthy air quality conditions. Air quality problems are exacerbated by dust storms, human activities (e.g., vehicle emissions and fireplace and wood stove use), atmospheric photochemical processes, and forest fires from local and regional fires. The City has chronically failed to attain some of the national and state ambient air quality standards, but due to the efforts of the California Air Resources Board and the regional San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, progress toward attainment of ozone (oxidant) and particulate matter standards is being made. Carbon monoxide standards were deemed to have been attained in the 1990s.

E.1.2 History
Development of what today is the City of Fresno began in 1871, when the Central Pacific Railroad chose the Fresno Station for its San Joaquin Valley rail line. The City soon became the County seat and the shipping and distribution hub for the region’s agricultural industry. An economic boom across California in the 1880s helped transform Fresno from a village to a city, and helped drive its incorporation in 1885. Today, the City of Fresno is the center of trade, commerce, finance, and transportation for the San Joaquin Valley.

E.2 Hazard Identification and Summary
The City of Fresno’s planning team identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to Fresno (see Table E.5). In the context of the plan’s planning area, there are no hazards unique to Fresno.

E.3 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess the City of Fresno’s vulnerability separate from that of the planning area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 4.3 Vulnerability Assessment in the main plan. This vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk to hazards ranked of medium or high significance that may vary from other parts of the planning area.

The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment for this Annex was collected through a Data Collection Guide, which was distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the original outreach process in 2009.

Information collected was analyzed and summarized in order to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and identify related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction. In addition, the City of Fresno’s HMPC team members were asked to validate the matrix that was originally scored in 2009 based on the experience and perspective of each planning team member relative to the City of Fresno.

Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the base plan (See Table 4.1). However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional annex may vary slightly due to specific hazard risk and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction (See Table E.5). Identifying these differences helps the reader to differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County.

Note: The hazard “Significance” reflects overall ranking for each hazard, and is based on the City of Fresno’s HMPC member input from the Data Collection Guide and the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Chapter 4 of the base plan), which included a more detailed qualitative analysis with best available data.

The hazard summaries in Table E.5 reflect the hazards that could potentially affect the City. Those of Medium or High significance for the City of Fresno are identified below. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is located in Section E.3.2 Estimating Potential Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.7
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Losses. Based on this analysis, the priority hazards (High Significance) for mitigation include drought, flood/levee failure, and hazardous materials incidents. • dam failure
• drought
• earthquake
• epidemic/pandemic
• extreme heat
• flood/levee failure
• fog
• hazardous materials incidents
• wildfire
• windstorm
Other Hazards
Hazards assigned a Significance rating of Low and which do not differ significantly from the County ranking (e.g., Low vs. High) are not addressed further in this plan, and are not assessed individually for specific vulnerabilities in this section. In the City of Fresno, those hazards ranked Low are as follows:
• agricultural hazards*
• human health hazards: West Nile Virus
• landslide
• severe weather: heavy rain/thunderstorm/hail/lightning, tornado • soil hazards
• volcano
• extreme cold
• winter storm
Note on Agricultural Hazards*: Agricultural hazards are ranked Low in the City of Fresno than for the County overall (ranked High) because very little land in the City is used for agricultural purposes.

Additionally, the City’s Committee members decided to rate several hazards as Not Applicable (N/A) to the planning area due to a lack of exposure, vulnerability, and no probability of occurrence. Avalanche is considered Not Applicable (N/A) to the City of Fresno.

E.3.1 Assets at Risk
This section considers Fresno’s assets at risk, including values at risk; critical facilities and infrastructure; historic, cultural, and natural resources; economic assets; and growth and development trends.

Values at Risk
The following data on property exposure is derived from the Fresno County 2017 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline to overall values in the City as the Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.8
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
information has some limitations. The most significant limitation is created by Proposition 13.

Instead of adjusting property values annually, the values are not adjusted or assessed at fair market value until a property transfer occurs. As a result, overall value information is likely low and does not reflect current market value of properties. It is also important to note that in the event of a disaster it is generally the value of the infrastructure or improvements to the land that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss. Table E.6 shows the 2017 values at risk broken down by property type for the City of Fresno.

Since the 2009 Plan, the City of Fresno has experienced notable increases in agricultural, commercial, and residential properties and property values at risk. Compared to improved values from the Fresno County Assessor’s Office’s 2007 Certified Roll Values, agricultural improved value has increased by 254.2 percent, commercial improved value has increased by 299.8 percent and total residential improved value has increased by 265.8 percent. Part of this dramatic increase in exposure of commercial and residential properties can be attributed to annexations of previously unincorporated County land that have occurred within the last decade.

Critical Facilities and Infrastructure
A critical facility may be defined as one that is essential in providing utility or direction either during the response to an emergency or during the recovery operation. An inventory of critical facilities in the City of Fresno from Fresno County GIS is provided in Table E.7 and mapped in Figure E.2.

Historic, Cultural, and Natural Resources
Historic and Cultural Sites
The Cultural Resource Facility located on the California State University, Bakersfield campus maintains a database, maps, and descriptive surveys of prehistoric sites in the Fresno area. Details of the locations are kept confidential due to the risk of theft or vandalism of artifacts. The general location of these sites is along the San Joaquin River and its bluffs, where permanent Native American settlements were established near a permanent water supply and seasonal salmon fishery.

The City of Fresno maintains a local official register of historic resources (available from the historic preservation officer in the City’s Planning and Development Department). There are approximately 284 properties on the register. Twenty-one of the properties were demolished or destroyed by fire after being placed on the list, and three other properties have been relocated to sites outside the City of Fresno. The local register includes 31 properties that are on the National Register of Historic Places (see Table E.8).

Source: National Register of Historic Places, www.nps.gov/nr/ Other historic resources in the City of Fresno include the following historic districts:
• The Porter Tract Historic District (45 homes)
• The Chandler Field/Fresno Municipal Airport Historic District (four historic structures) • The Wilson Island Historic District (78 homes)
• The Huntington Boulevard Historic Districts (81 homes) As comprehensive as the City’s register may be, it does not include all properties in the City with potential historic or cultural significance. The list is continually being expanded as sites are discovered through routine analysis of proposed development areas and through proposed new listings of historic districts. The pool of potentially historic properties also changes through time, since federal law provides for a 50-year retrospective review, which now encompasses the postWorld War II building boom era. Ten properties that were recommended for the City’s register but were denied inclusion by the Fresno City Council are still recognized for their historic/cultural significance (heritage properties), which is taken into account when any actions are undertaken on them pursuant to provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. (Three of these properties have been since been demolished.)
While a detailed assessment of seismic and flood risks for the listed properties in Fresno is currently beyond the available staff resources of the City’s Historic Preservation Office, it can be generally assumed that most of the structures have not been seismically reinforced and that their masonry is vulnerable to strong ground shaking.

While many of the structures are in Fresno’s old downtown and were built when this area was largely within the 100-year floodplain of the Fresno Stream Group, efforts by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Fresno have provided for flood detention structures and ponding basins that have greatly reduced the size and extent of the floodplain in the downtown, helping to preserve these historic resources.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.13
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Natural Resource Areas
San Joaquin River Corridor
While the City maintains many community and neighborhood parks, its natural resources are primarily along the San Joaquin River. Owing to the year-round presence of water, the river bottom and bluffs host the richest aquatic and riparian forest biota in the City. It is in this area where migratory waterfowl and federally and state-listed endangered wildlife are most likely be encountered. These species include the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, the giant garter snake, and the American bald eagle (recently recommended for delisting from the National Endangered Species list).

Over past decades, land in the river corridor has been purchased and aggregated by state agencies (Department of Fish and Game, San Joaquin River Conservancy), by nonprofit groups (San Joaquin River Parkway Trust, Fresno Sportsmen’s Club), and by the City and County (the City’s Woodward Park and Milburn Unit, the County’s Lost Lake Park). The ultimate goal of the San Joaquin River Conservancy Plan is to fashion a regional parkway with continuity of wildlife corridors and to manage it for joint recreational, habitat conservation, and floodplain protection uses.

Due to its location, this natural resource area is flood-prone. In some areas, this risk has been increased due to removal of massive amounts of sand and gravel (from mining), which lowered the ground surface over past decades. While the native riparian plants and animals have largely evolved with coping mechanisms for periodic severe flooding, any developed recreation facilities would be at risk. The face of the bluff is also very vulnerable to wildfire because of its vegetative overgrowth and nearly vertical slopes. Fire prevention efforts are difficult here because the soils are too unstable for vegetative removal projects or for irrigation that would keep the plants wellwatered.

Vernal Pool Areas
In the northerly parts of the City, outside the river corridor, certain clay soils have the capacity to form impermeable hardpans and layers that do not allow rapid percolation of rainwater. During the rainy season, shallow vernal pools form that are populated by a host of specialized plants and animals. Many species associated with vernal pools are federally and state-listed species (e.g., the California tiger salamander, various types of fairy shrimp crustaceans, orcutt grass, button celery species, meadowfoam, and owl clover). Vernal pools are also heavily utilized by nonlisted species, such as migratory waterfowl, rodents, furbearing predators, and raptors that prey on other animals.

Wildfire is not considered a major risk to these natural communities, because they evolved with dry season fires as a common occurrence (the plants have very resistant seeds and the crustaceans and amphibians go into protected parts of their life cycles such as deep dormancy). Human encroachment through agriculture and land development is the greatest risk to vernal pool areas.

If the clay layers are disrupted by “deep ripping” plowing, water cannot accumulate on the surface and the pools will not form. If the land is subjected to year-round irrigation, specially adapted Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.14
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
vernal pool species will be out-competed by other species. Conversion of land to urban development with structures, paving, lawns, pets, and people will destroy vernal pool natural communities.

Economic Assets
The City of Fresno’s economic sector includes both private and public entities that have been compiled into clusters in order to identify key economic assets. These ten clusters, known as the Regional Job Initiative (RJI) clusters, are Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy, Construction, Food Processing, Healthcare, Info Processing (Call Centers, Logistics, and Distribution), Software Development, Tourism, and Water Technology. Among these clusters are major employers like Saint Agnes, Pelco, Gottschalks, and Ruiz Foods that both boost Fresno’s economic growth and provide employment opportunities.

If a disaster struck the City, it could have a severe impact on Fresno’s economic assets. Sectors of greatest concern include all the RJI clusters, but in particular Food Processing, which includes the agricultural industry, and Healthcare.

Growth and Development Trends
The City of Fresno is growing at a rapid pace. Its expansion from incorporation in 1885 to the present day (August 2017) is illustrated in Figure E.3. Even more growth is anticipated in the years to come, based on current trends.

Table E.9 illustrates how the City has grown in terms of population and number of housing units between 2011 and 2017 alone.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.16
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
By December 31, 2035 (the “Horizon” year of the most recent Fresno General Plan), it is estimated that 771,000 people will reside in the Fresno Metropolitan Area (which would include County islands and areas inside the City’s Sphere of Influence but not yet annexed). This figure of 771,000 would be 64 percent of the projected 2035 Fresno County population of 1,201,416 (State of California Department of Finance population projections).

As of August of 2017, the City of Fresno comprised 115.3 square miles of annexed (incorporated) land within its 161.8-square mile Sphere of Influence. Development had reached the natural and political northerly boundary of the City, the San Joaquin River, and began expanding to the west and southeast through conversion of rural residential and agricultural land. Within the Sphere of Influence, there continued to be “County islands” and partially urbanized fringe areas. An urban unification annexation program may reduce the numbers and sizes of these enclaves in the coming decade.

The Fresno General Plan made a concerted effort to revitalize the City’s downtown by balancing new growth areas to geographically recenter the downtown. With construction of a major sewer trunk along the Grantland Avenue alignment and proposed construction of new wastewater and water treatment plants in the southeastern area, the City’s future growth is expected to concentrate primarily to the west and southeast.

The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has commenced major flood control facility construction on Fancher Creek in the eastern portion of the City’s Sphere of Influence.

Since the Fresno General Plan was completed in December 2014, the FMFCD will compile technical studies and update its master service plan in conjunction with the City’s land use plan for this new growth area.

The Fresno General Plan also directed that new development be more compact and that singlefamily residential densities be higher than the City’s traditional 4± dwelling units/acre pattern for subdivisions. The recently adopted Fulton Corridor Specific Plan and Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan and other plan amendments and projects in process (and proposed in the future) feature smaller lots, multi-story housing, multi-family units, and reduced setbacks.

Unless the cost of manufactured housing units would provide a substantial savings over site-built homes, it is not expected that the proportion of manufactured housing in the City of Fresno will greatly increase. It is possible that there will be some increase as producers of these units create models with appropriate roof pitches and other features to meet the City’s design review standards.

More information about the City of Fresno’s growth and current housing stock is available in the City of Fresno General Plan 2015-2023 Housing Element commissioned by the City of Fresno Development and Resource Management Department and prepared by MIG, Inc (available at www.fresno.gov/housingelement). More general information on growth and development in Fresno County as a whole can be found in “Growth and Development Trends” in Section 4.3.1 Fresno County Vulnerability and Assets at Risk of the main plan.

E.3.2 Estimating Potential Losses
Note: This section details vulnerability to specific hazards, where quantifiable, and/or where (through HMPC member input) it differs from that of the overall County.

Table E.6 above shows Fresno’s exposure to hazards in terms of number and value of structures.

Fresno County’s parcel and assessor data was used to calculate the improved value of parcels. The most vulnerable structures are those in the floodplain (especially those that have been flooded in the past), unreinforced masonry buildings, and buildings built prior to the introduction of modern day building codes. No further information on vulnerable structures is available. Impacts of past events and vulnerability to specific hazards are further discussed below (see Section 4.1 Hazard Identification for more detailed information about these hazards and their impacts on Fresno County).

Agricultural Hazards
Agricultural hazards are ranked with a Low significance in the City of Fresno; lower than for the County overall (ranked High) because very little land in the City is used for agricultural purposes.

Agricultural losses due to hazard events have greater economic impact on the small communities and rural areas of the County than on the City of Fresno. However, ornamental and garden plants in the City, and pets and incidental livestock kept within City limits, may become involved in any countywide responses to crop pests or infectious agents, because these urban plants and animals provide reservoirs for the diseases and crop pests that threaten the County’s agriculture.

Dam Failure
The National Inventory of Dams lists five dams located in the City of Fresno, including the Redbank Creek Detention basin, Fancher Creek Detention, Friant Millerton Road Embankment A, Redbank, and Friant Dike 3.

Drought
Annual rainfall in the City of Fresno is typically 12-14 inches. This makes the region vulnerable to episodic drought and to chronic drawdown of aquifer levels (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has designated the groundwater below Fresno as a sole source aquifer). Water in this aquifer has historically flowed through permeable strata from north and northeast toward the south and west, but the aquifer has been so affected by drawdown that a “cone of depression” has been created, reversing the historic flow directions (the “groundwater gradient”) in portions of west and south Fresno.

In the last 10 years the City of Fresno has made strides to reduce dependence on groundwater by setting a course to implement water plans, which include the Urban Water Management Plan, Recycled Water Waster Plan, and the recently adopted Water Capital Program. A surface water treatment plant is currently under construction in Southeast Fresno and should be completed by 2018. When operational, the plant will maximize use of Fresno’s surface water allocations during Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.18
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
normal years and allow the City to reduce overuse of groundwater. Recycled water use will also grow in Fresno with the new recycled water mains now being constructed. The City has plans to use 25,000 acre-feet per year of recycled water for irrigating open spaces, parks, street medians and golf courses.

Earthquake
The seismic hazard in the City of Fresno is low relative to California coastal and mountain communities and is lower than in the Sierra and western areas of Fresno County. There are no known earthquake faults underlying Fresno, and the City has never been the epicenter of a known seismic event. However, Fresno is considered to have a moderate risk of earthquake damage due to the presence of major fault systems to the west, south, and east and due to Fresno’s large population and number of buildings, critical facilities, and infrastructure and other development that could be vulnerable to more severe ground shaking.

Historically, Fresno has sustained very little damage from major earthquakes occurring on California’s major faults: the Owens Valley earthquake of 1872 toppled an unreinforced masonry (brick) church steeple. More recent major earthquakes in the past four decades (with epicenters near Coalinga and the Bay Area) have resulted in perceptible tall building swaying in Fresno, minor injuries (attributable to shelved items falling), and slight damage (e.g., minor cracked plaster, etc.). To date, no soil liquefaction has been observed in Fresno from any seismic event.

The most serious impacts of an earthquake in Fresno would probably arise from damage to large dams in the Sierra Nevada on the upper reaches of the San Joaquin River very close to active Long Valley Caldera-related faults. Should either of the two most easterly (and largest) dams in this area be severely damaged or breached, the resulting sequential dam failures could cause floodwaters to overtop Friant Dam northeast of the City. While the dam failure inundation map for Friant shows that most of the flooded area would be expected in the northwest part of town (where the confining river bluffs are not as high), there are some residences and important infrastructure in the river channel itself that would be inundated and gravely damaged (or destroyed), including highway bridges and the inlet of the Friant-Kern Canal, which supplies Bureau of Reclamation surface water to the Fresno area and to other communities in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

Epidemic/Pandemic
Fresno’s population includes many residents who have limited access to health care, with causes related to low household income levels, lack of insurance coverage, a limited number of primary health care facilities and acute care beds, a low ratio of public health and medical professionals to population, and language barriers. Highly communicable diseases tend to affect a large percentage of the City, perhaps due to large household size and the mobility of the population. If a highly communicable disease outbreak occurred that caused serious or life-threatening illness for most infected persons, health care and other public service systems would experience disruption or breakdown and would require outside intervention with resources from other communities, the state, or the federal government.

Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Extreme Cold/Freeze
Freeze events occur occasionally in Fresno, but impacts are greater to the agriculture industry in the County than to the City. In January 2007, overnight minimum temperatures fell below freezing between January 6 and 10. The event led to a presidential disaster declaration due to the estimated $710 million in agricultural damage in the Central and South Valley. The 2007 event occurred in another eight-year interval after the devastating citrus freezes of 1998 and 1990. The event caused frozen pipes in Fresno but little other property damage. The City also has a plan for freezing temperature events and opens warming centers. These centers are primarily geared toward the homeless population.

Extreme Heat
Fresno uses a local version of the California State Plan for Extreme Heat. This plan was used during the extreme heat event during the summer of 2006 and worked well. The City operates cooling centers, which are primarily geared toward the homeless. Public notification for extreme heat events is conducted through the Public Affairs office in coordination with Fresno County.

Expansive Soils
These types of soils occur in northern Fresno in the far northeastern portions of its Sphere of Influence (in the “Copper River” area). Expansive clay soils can cause cavitation over time and require special construction standards for foundations.

Flood
As noted in the preceding section, there is some flood risk to the City from San Joaquin River major dam failure inundation, but the more common flood risk, repetitively experienced in Fresno, is that of shallow “sheet” flooding from major precipitation events. Except for the San Joaquin River, streams in the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area originate in the Sierra foothills to the east and extend into the valley floor west of State Route 99 by way of dual-use irrigation and storm runoff channels and disperse into numerous smaller irrigation canals. Overflow from these canals and urban stormwater from intense precipitation events is sent back to the San Joaquin River or to farmland southwest of Fresno via spillway channels.

In the City of Fresno, these canals and channels are under control of the Fresno Irrigation District, an independent public agency, but their use during storm events is shared by another independent district, the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD). The FMFCD was created to develop flood control facilities to prevent further repetitive losses created by the Fresno Stream Group and to provide an urban drainage network. This District is responsible for administering a Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. The City’s municipal code supports these efforts by including a Drainage Fee Ordinance to ensure that grading and development comply with the FMFCD’s Master Plan and standards and provide proportionate shares of storm drain and ponding basin infrastructure.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.20
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
The City of Fresno’s Floodplain Ordinance further coordinates and supports FMFCD efforts. This ordinance and the Fresno General Plan Safety Element policies require conformance to FEMA floodplain management policies and to those of California’s Central Valley Flood Prevention Board (which regulates the designated floodway along the San Joaquin River channel). Still, in areas not completely developed to urban standards, areas where the urban drainage network is not yet completed, and in some County “island” areas (land within the City that the County has authority over), stormwater drainage facilities may not prevent localized shallow flooding during intense runoff events.

According to FEMA’s 2016 Flood Insurance Study (FIS), the following major canals and ditches run through the City:
• Central Canal flows southwest through the southeastern part of the City of Fresno. • Dry Creek Canal begins at the confluence of Mill Ditch and Herndon Canal, just downstream of North Millbrook Avenue, and flows southwest through the southwestern portion of the City. • Fancher Creek Canal flows southwest along the eastern corporate limits of the City of Fresno and joins Central Canal at the southeast corner of the City. • Herndon Canal begins at the confluence of Mill Ditch and Dry Creek Canal. It flows west through the center of the City of Fresno, then flows northwest through the northwestern part of the City.
• Mill Ditch flows west along East McKinley Avenue to its confluence with Herndon and Dry Creek Canals.

The FIS details the City of Fresno’s flood history as follows:

In February 1884, flood flows from streams of the Fresno-Clovis group inundated the business section of the City of Fresno. Frequent flooding was a problem in the City throughout the 1880.

Suburban areas of the City were flooded in spring 1920; the downtown area was inundated in 1923; flooding occurred in the Fig Garden area in 1936; and parts of the City, especially in the northeast section, were flooded in March 1938. Since the 1938 flood, which had an estimated discharge of 2,700 cubic feet per second (cfs) on Dry Creek at the Big Dry Creek Dam site, high flows occurred on that stream in December 1955 (3,800 cfs), January 1969 (5,700 cfs), and February 1969 (4,500 cfs). During December 1955, approximately 500 acres of agricultural and suburban land were flooded by overflow from irrigation canals, and damage, mostly to public facilities, totaled approximately $50,000. The largest and most damaging flood period was January and February 1969, when the combined discharges of Dry, Dog, Redbank, Fancher, and Mud Creeks flooded an estimated 14,500 acres and caused almost $4.7 million in damage. Most of the flooding was in the eastern and northeastern parts of the City. It occurred because many of the streams in the Fresno-Clovis group discharged floodwater into various irrigation canals, causing them to overflow.

There are 231 improved parcels within the 100-year floodplain for a total value of roughly $128 million, including building and content value. An additional 37,849 improved parcels valued at roughly $10.5 billion fall within the 500-year floodplain.

Applying the 25 percent damage factor as described in Section 4.3.2, there is a 1 percent chance in any given year of a 100-year flood causing roughly $32.0 million in damage in the City of Fresno and a 0.2 percent chance in any given year of a 500-year flood causing roughly $2.65 billion in damage (combined damage from both floods).

Properties at risk to flooding are shown in relation to the mapped floodplains in Figure E.5.

Limitations: This model may include structures in the floodplains that are elevated at or above the level of the base-flood elevation, which will likely mitigate flood damage. Also, the assessed values are well below the actual market values. Thus, the actual value of assets at risk may be significantly higher than those included herein.

In addition to the 100-year and 500-year floodplains mapped by FEMA, the California Department of Water Resources maintains Best Available Maps (BAM) which include the floodplains in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins, based on a study performed in 2002 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Though limited to the San Joaquin River as a flood source and thus not as comprehensive as the FEMA FIRM, the USACE study shows additional differentiation in flood risk by modeling the 200-year floodplain (the flood with a 0.5 percent annual chance of occurring). Table E.12 summarizes the values at risk by property type within the 200-year floodplain and loss estimates to the 200-year storm using the same methodology described above.

Applying the 25 percent damage factor, there is a 0.5 percent annual chance of a 200-year flood causing $6.73 million in damage in the City of Fresno.

Insurance Coverage, Claims Paid, and Repetitive Losses
The City of Fresno joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on December 1, 1982. In addition to providing insurance for properties at risk of flooding, the program collects and publishes statistics on flood-related losses in participating jurisdictions.

NFIP insurance data for the City of Fresno indicates that as of March 30, 2017, there were 323 flood insurance policies in force in the City with $99,316,700 in coverage. This coverage represents a decline of nearly 200 policies over the last decade. Of the 323 policies, 277 were residential (267 for single-family homes) and 46 were nonresidential. 56 of the policies were in A zones (including A01-30, AE, AO, and AH), and the remaining 267 policies were in B, C, and X zones. Policies in B, C, and X zones have increased slightly over the past decade, while policies in the 100-year floodplain have dramatically declined.

There have been 81 historical claims for flood losses totaling $765,183; 73 were for residential properties; 37 were in A zones and 36 were in B, C, or X zones; and 54 were pre-FIRM structures (17 of the 19 post-FIRM structures with reported losses were in a B, C, or X zone). According to the FEMA Community Information System accessed 9/17/2018 there was one Repetitive Loss and no Severe Repetitive Loss properties located in the jurisdiction.

Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Population at Risk
Using parcel data from the County, the digital flood insurance rate map, population at risk was calculated for the 100-year and 500-year floods based on the number of residential properties at risk and the U.S. Census Bureau 2016 estimate for the average number of persons per household (3.17). The following are at risk to flooding in the City of Fresno:
• 100-year flood—342 people
• 500-year flood—107,400 people
• Total flood—107,742 people
Critical Facilities at Risk
Critical facilities are those community components that are most needed to withstand the impacts of disaster as previously described. Table E.13 lists the critical facilities in the City’s 100- and 500-year floodplains.

Severe Weather: Fog
The risk and vulnerability factors for fog in the City is not unique from the County at large. Please refer to the main plan’s discussion of the fog hazard in section 4.

Severe Weather: Windstorm
Fresno’s prevailing winds are typically light and from the northwest. High wind conditions are occasionally created by strong weather fronts. Occasionally, there are funnel clouds of low intensity. Past structural damage has been light, infrequent, and very limited in geographic extent.

Injuries have been extremely rare. Most of this damage has occurred secondary to large trees being blown over. The City’s design wind load, the level of wind force that new structures are required to be engineered to withstand, is 70 mph.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.28
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Soil Hazards: Land Subsidence
Despite long-term over-drafting of groundwater that has lowered the static water table under Fresno by as much as 100 feet over the past century, ground level subsidence has not been noted in the vicinity of the City (this is probably due to the geologic strata underlying the City, which features layers of clay and hardpan interleaved with sand and gravel layers).

Wildfire
Similar to many areas of the County, Fresno has high temperatures in the summer with low rainfall creating fire hazard conditions. There is some wildfire risk in the San Joaquin River Bluff area in northern Fresno due to vegetation and steep slopes.

Following the methodology described in Section 4.3.2 Vulnerability of Fresno County to Specific Hazards, a wildfire map for the City of Fresno was created (see Figure E.6). An analysis was performed using GIS software to determine where populations, values at risk, and critical facilities are located within wildfire threat zones. Table E.15 shows the values at risk in the moderate wildfire threat zone (there are no values at risk in the high or very high threat zones). There are not any critical facilities in wildfire threat zones in the City of Fresno.

Sources: Fresno County 2017 Parcel and Assessor data
Based on this analysis, the City of Fresno’s moderate wildfire threat affects 2,450 people and 803 improved parcels valued at roughly $324,787,102. Almost all of the parcels at risk are in the San Joaquin River corridor, where development is very restricted due to flood risk and bluff instability.

Other parcels are in industrial areas along the western edge of the City, where the City’s weed abatement ordinances (requiring vegetation control by April) would reduce the wildfire risk.

E.4 Capability Assessment
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into five sections: regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, mitigation outreach and partnerships, and other mitigation efforts.

To develop this capability assessment, the jurisdictional planning representatives used a matrix of common mitigation activities to inventory which of these policies or programs were in place. The team then supplemented this inventory by reviewing additional existing policies, regulations, plans, and programs to determine if they contributed to reducing hazard-related losses.

During the plan update process, this inventory was reviewed by the jurisdictional planning representatives and Amec Foster Wheeler consultant team staff to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Fresno’s updated capabilities are summarized below.

E.4.1 Regulatory Mitigation Capabilities

Fresno General Plan (Adopted December 18, 2014)
The Fresno General Plan is a blueprint of how the City anticipates directing and managing growth while minimizing potential impacts for existing and future generations. It provides long-range planning strategies for the continued development, enhancement, and revitalization of the Fresno Metropolitan Area. The plan goals are the guiding principles and provide the framework for the objectives and policies that can be found in the plan elements. The following general plan goals directly or indirectly mitigate hazards identified in this plan:
• Goal 9—Promote a city of healthy communities and improve quality of life in established neighborhoods.
− Emphasize supporting established neighborhoods in Fresno with safe, well maintained, and accessible streets, public utilities, education and job training, proximity to jobs, retail services, health care, affordable housing, youth development opportunities, open space and parks, transportation options, and opportunities for home grown businesses. • Goal 12— Resolve existing public infrastructure and service deficiencies, make full use of existing infrastructure, and invest in improvements to increase competitiveness and promote economic growth.
− Emphasize the fair and necessary costs of maintaining sustainable water, sewer, streets, and other public infrastructure and service systems in rates, fees, financing and public investments to implement the General Plan. Adequately address accumulated deferred maintenance, aging infrastructure, risks to service continuity, desired standards of service to meet quality-of-life goals, and required infrastructure to support growth, economic competitiveness and business development.
• Goal 16— Protect and improve public health and safety.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.32
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Some of the elements of the General Plan also contain objectives and policies relevant to protecting human health and safety (e.g., supporting objectives and policies in the Public Utilities and Services Element direct that amendments to construction and fire codes to reduce the level of risk to life and property from fire commensurate with the City’s fire suppression capabilities and that fire and police services be provided). Because the Noise and Safety Element is the portion of the General Plan most relevant to hazard mitigation, select objectives and policies are extracted and included below.

The Noise and Safety Element
The Noise and Safety Element seeks to reduce deaths, injuries, illnesses, damage to property, and economic and social dislocation that could result from hazards. Of specific relevance to this plan, it addresses seismic and geologic conditions, flooding, hazardous materials, and emergency response.

Seismic and Geologic Hazards
NS-2. Objective: Minimize risks of property damage and personal injury posed by geologic and seismic risks.

NS-2-a. Policy: Seismic Protection. Ensure seismic protection is incorporated into new and existing construction, consistent with the Fresno Municipal Code.

NS-2-b. Policy: Soil Analysis Requirement. Identify areas with potential geologic and/or soils hazards, and require development in these areas to conduct a soil analysis and mitigation plan by a registered civil engineer (or engineering geologist specializing in soil geology) prior to allowing on-site drainage or disposal for wastewater, stormwater runoff, or swimming pool/spa water.

NS-2-c. Policy: Landfill Areas. Require proposed land uses on or near landfill areas to be designed and maintained to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 21190, Post Closure Land Use.

NS-2-d. Policy: Bluff Preservation Overlay Zone. Per the requirements of the Bluff Preservation Overlay Zone District and Policy POSS-7-f (Chapter 5, Parks and Open Space), the following standards shall be applicable for property located within the Bluff Preservation zone:
• Require proposed development within 300 feet of the toe of the San Joaquin River bluffs to undertake an engineering soils investigation and evaluation report that demonstrates that the site is sufficiently stable to support the proposed development, or provide mitigations to provide sufficient stability; and • Establish a minimum setback of 30 feet from the San Joaquin River bluff edge for all buildings, structures, decks, pools and spas (which may be above or below grade), fencing, lighting, steps, etc. o An applicant may request to reduce the minimum setback to 20 feet from the bluff edge if it can be demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the City’s Building Official and the Planning Director, that the proposed building, structure, deck, pool and/or spas (which may be above or below grade), fencing, steps, etc., will meet the objectives of the Bluff Preservation Overlay Ordinance. In no case shall the setback be reduced to less than 20 feet.

Flooding Hazards
NS-3. Objective: Minimize the risks to property, life, and the environment due to flooding and stormwater runoff hazards.

NS-3-a. Policy: Stormwater Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Support the full implementation of the FMFCD Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan, the completion of planned flood control and drainage system facilities, and the continued maintenance of stormwater and flood water retention and conveyance facilities and capacities. Work with the FMFCD to make sure that its Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan is consistent with the General Plan.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.33
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
NS-3-b. Policy: Curb and Gutter Installation. Coordinate with Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) to install curbing, gutters, and other drainage facilities with priority to existing neighborhoods with the greatest deficiencies and consistent with the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan.

NS-3-c. Policy: Dual Use Facilities. Support multiple uses of flood control and drainage facilities as follows:
• Use, wherever practical, FMFCD facilities for groundwater management and recharge; and • Promote recreational development of ponding basin facilities located within or near residential areas, compatible with the stormwater and groundwater recharge functions.

NS-3-d. Policy: Landscaped Buffer. City will support the development of FMFCD ponding basins including the landscaping and irrigation for the top one third of the side sloped areas consistent with the FMFCD Basin Design Criteria.

NS-3-e. Policy: Pollutants. Work with FMFCD to prevent and reduce the existence of urban stormwater pollutants pursuant to the requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems Act.

NS-3-f. Policy: Flooding Emergency Response Plans. Work with responsible agencies to update emergency dam failure inundation plans, evacuation plans and other emergency response plans for designated flood-prone areas, including the San Joaquin river bottom.

NS-3-g. Policy: Essential Facilities Siting Outside of Floodplains. Avoid siting emergency response and essential public facilities, such as fire and police stations, within a 100-year floodplain, unless it can be demonstrated that the facility can be safely operated and accessed during flood events.

NS-3-h. Policy: Runoff Controls. Implement grading regulations and related development policies that protect area residents from flooding caused by urban runoff produced from events that exceed the capacity of the Storm Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan system of facilities. Place all structures and/or flood-proofing in a manner that does not cause floodwaters to be diverted onto adjacent property, increase flood hazards to other property, or otherwise adversely affect other property.

NS-3-i. Policy: New Development Must Mitigate Impact. Require new development to not significantly impact the existing storm drainage and flood control system by imposing conditions of approval as project mitigation, as authorized by law. As part of this process, closely coordinate and consult with the FMFCD to identify appropriate conditions that will result in mitigation acceptable and preferred by FMFCD for each project.

Commentary: The City recognizes the expertise and significant role of the FMFCD, and will give the highest deference to its recommendations for mitigation measures, consistent with applicable law.

NS-3-j. Policy: National Flood Insurance Program. Continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by ensuring compliance with applicable requirements. Review NFIP maps periodically to determine if areas subject to flooding have been added or removed and make adjustments to the Land Use Diagram Figure LU-1.

NS-3-k. Policy: 100-Year Floodplain Policy. Require developers of residential subdivisions to preserve those portions of development sites as open space that may be subject to 100-year flood events, unless the flood hazard can be substantially mitigated by development project design.

NS-3-l. Policy: 200-Year Floodplain Protection. Promote flood control measures that maintain natural conditions within the 200-year floodplain of rivers and streams and, to the extent possible, combine flood control, recreation, water quality, and open space functions. Discourage construction of permanent improvements that would be adversely affected by periodic floods within the 200-year floodplain, particularly in the San Joaquin river bottom.

NS-3-m. Policy: Flood Risk Public Awareness. Continue public awareness programs to inform the general public and potentially affected property owners of flood hazards and potential dam failure inundation. Remind households and businesses located in flood-prone areas of opportunities to purchase flood insurance.

NS-3-n. Policy: Precipitation Changes. Work with FMFCD to evaluate the planned and existing stormwater conveyance system in light of possible changes to precipitation patterns in the future.

Hazardous Materials
NS-4. Objective: Minimize the risk of loss of life, injury, serious illness, and damage to property resulting from the use, transport, treatment, and disposal of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes.

NS-4-a. Policy: Processing and Storage. Require safe processing and storage of hazardous materials, consistent with the California Building Code and the Uniform Fire Code, as adopted by the City.

NS-4-b. Policy: Coordination. Maintain a close liaison with the Fresno County Environmental Health Department, Cal-EPA Division of Toxics, and the State Office of Emergency Services to assist in developing and maintaining Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.34
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
hazardous material business plans, inventory statements, risk management prevention plans, and contingency/emergency response action plans.

NS-4-c. Policy: Soil and Groundwater Contamination Reports. Require an investigation of potential soil or groundwater contamination whenever justified by past site uses. Require appropriate mitigation as a condition of project approval in the event soil or groundwater contamination is identified or could be encountered during site development.

NS-4-d. Policy: Site Identification. Continue to aid federal, State, and County agencies in the identification and mapping of waste disposal sites (including abandoned waste sites), and to assist in the survey of the kinds, amounts, and locations of hazardous wastes.

NS-4-i. Policy: Public Information. Continue to assist in providing information to the public on hazardous materials.

Emergency Response
NS-6. Objective: Foster an efficient and coordinated response to emergencies and natural disasters.

NS-6-a. Policy: County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. Adopt and implement the Fresno County MultiJurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan and City of Fresno Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex.

Commentary: The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that cities, counties, and special districts have a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to be eligible to receive FEMA hazard mitigation funds. Cities and counties can adopt and use all or part of a regional multi-jurisdictional plan, such as the one prepared by Fresno County, in lieu of preparing all or part of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

NS-6-b. Policy: Disaster Response Coordination. Maintain coordination with other local, State, and Federal agencies to provide coordinated disaster response.

NS-6-c. Policy: Emergency Operations Plan. Update the City’s Emergency Operations Plan periodically, using a whole community approach which integrates considerations for People with access and functional needs in all aspects of planning.

NS-6-d. Policy: Evacuation Planning. Maintain an emergency evacuation plan in consultation with the Police and Fire Departments and other emergency service providers, which shows potential evacuation routes and a list of emergency shelters to be used in case of catastrophic emergencies.

Commentary: The evacuation plan will be flexible in order to consider many scenarios and multiple modes of transportation beyond private automobiles. It will provide special provisions for disadvantaged populations, such as those with physical disabilities or those with low or very low incomes, and for areas with fewer resources through neighborhood emergency preparedness programs.

NS-6-e. Policy: Critical Use Facilities. Ensure critical use facilities (e.g. City Hall, police and fire stations, schools, hospitals, public assembly facilities, transportation services) and other structures that are important to protecting health and safety in the community remain operational during an emergency. • Site and design these facilities to minimize their exposure and susceptibility to flooding, seismic and geological effects, fire, and explosions.
• Work with the owners and operators of critical use facilities to ensure they can provide alternate sources of electricity, water, and sewerage in the event that regular utilities are interrupted in a disaster.

NS-6-f. Policy: Emergency Vehicle Access. Require adequate access for emergency vehicles in all new development, including adequate widths, turning radii, hard standing areas, and vertical clearance.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.35
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
NS-6-g. Policy: Emergency Preparedness Public Awareness Programs. Continue to conduct programs to inform the general public, including people with access and functional needs, of the City’s emergency preparedness and disaster response procedures.

Fresno Flood Plain Ordinance
The City of Fresno’s Flood Plain Ordinance was revised in the late 1990s and formally adopted by the Fresno City Council on September 20, 2005. (In late 2007, the Fresno Municipal Code was republished with its chapters somewhat reorganized. There was no change in the text of the Flood Plain Ordinance at that time, but due to the reorganization of its content, its most recent adoption effective date is January 17, 2008.) The Fresno Flood Plain Ordinance is Article 6 of Chapter 11 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

The purpose of this ordinance is to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
• Protect human life and health;
• Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; • Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
• Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
• Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone, and sewer lines; and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; • Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage; • Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of flood hazard; and • Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.

In order to accomplish its purposes, the ordinance includes the following methods and provisions:
• Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities • Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction • Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage • Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood water or which may increase flood hazards in other areas
• Control the alteration of natural flood plains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters
Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.36
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
This ordinance applies to all areas of special flood hazards within the jurisdiction of the City as identified by FEMA’s Flood Insurance Study for Fresno County, California and incorporated areas dated September 30, 2005, with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and all subsequent amendments and/or revisions. It appoints the building official to administer, implement, and enforce the ordinance by granting or denying development permits in accord with its provisions.

This ordinance includes the following standards of construction related to special flood hazard areas:
• Anchoring
• Construction materials and methods
• Elevation and floodproofing
• Residential construction
• Nonresidential construction
• Flood venting
• Standards for utilities
• Standards for subdivisions
• Standards for manufactured homes
• Standards for recreational vehicles
• Floodways
• Standards for storage of materials and equipment
In conjunction with Fresno’s Drainage Fee Ordinance (Fresno Municipal Code Chapter 12, Article 19), which requires local grading and development to conform to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District Master Drainage Plan and to provide proportionate shares of drainage infrastructure, the Fresno Flood Plain Ordinance and its preceding Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance have reduced flood damage losses in the City.

National Flood Insurance Program/Community Rating System The City of Fresno joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on December 1, 1982. It has been a member of the Community Rating System (CRS) since October 1, 1992. The City’s Floodplain Administrator duties are assigned to the building official. The Building and Safety Division of the Planning and Development Department works to improve the City’s CRS rating, which determines the price paid for flood insurance policies issued in the jurisdiction. The rating is based on detailed biannual audits conducted by FEMA and/or a designee agency (currently, the California Department of Water Resources). The primary means of improving and maintaining a good CRS rating is through administration of the Fresno Flood Plain Ordinance. As part of its efforts to improve its community rating, the City of Fresno has hosted periodic FEMA Region IX NFIP/CRS training.

The City’s current CRS rating from October 2016 is Class 8, which reflects the loss of two class levels in the most recent audit.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.37
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
San Joaquin River Bluff Preservation Ordinance, 1980
After an interagency San Joaquin River Reconnaissance Plan was completed in the late 1970s, the City of Fresno adopted the San Joaquin River Bluff Specific Plan to preserve this important open space and habitat feature and to safeguard the bluff face, which is the most unstable geologic feature in the City. The San Joaquin River Bluff Specific Plan was later subsumed by the 1988 Bullard Community Plan, which carried forward protective policies for this area of Fresno.

The regulation of land use, development, and grading in this portion of Fresno is ongoing pursuant to the Bluff Preservation Ordinance. This ordinance, part of the City’s zoning regulations, delineates an overlay zone district along the river bluff (the Bluff Preservation Overlay District), established allowable and prohibited land uses, and set forth conditions and requirements for using or modifying property in the district. The regulations of the district are deemed to be necessary for the preservation of the special qualities of the bluffs and for the protection of the health, safety, and general welfare of owners and users of property in the area.

The Bluff Preservation Ordinance is administered by the Fresno Development and Resource Management Department through its special permit process and grading plan checks. Anyone applying for a building permit is required to submit a site plan review with accompanying soil investigation and evaluation report (prepared by an appropriately licensed professional engineer or registered geologist). The Department’s Code Enforcement Division also conducts periodic surveillance of bluff properties for grading and construction done without permits and institutes abatement actions when these conditions are discovered.

Hazardous Material Incident Safeguards
The Fresno Fire Department works with Fresno County Environmental Health to review hazardous material business plans that detail flammable, explosive, toxic, and otherwise hazardous materials used by businesses in the City. The Fire Department has its own permitting requirement for liquid and gaseous fuel tanks to ensure that they are installed and maintained safely. The City’s Hazardous Materials Response Unit (housed in a City fire station) maintains the capability to quickly characterize material releases and spills, to evaluate risks to life and property, and to implement appropriate controls and evacuation measures.

Fire Prevention Policy
The City of Fresno has some of the most progressive and effective fire prevention policies and regulations in the nation relating to water supply (fire flow) required for development, ingress and egress from developed buildings and subdivisions, on-site automatic fire suppression systems (sprinkler and on-site private hydrants), building addressing to facilitate rapid emergency response, marking of unsafe buildings (those older structures with hazardous conditions or a lack of water supply), and instant aid/mutual aid with adjacent fire departments belonging to Fresno County special districts and the City of Clovis.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.38
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
In addition to its extensive network of well-trained and well-equipped firefighting stations, the Fresno Fire Department has a Fire Prevention Bureau, under supervision of the City’s fire marshal, to administer regulations adopted and referenced by the Fresno Municipal Code Chapter 6, Article 5 relating to fire prevention. The Fire Prevention Bureau carries out these responsibilities by conducting routine inspections of all public and commercial buildings, performing detailed development permit and construction plan checks, and investigating arson.

Another component of the City’s overall fire protection program is the administration of its public nuisance ordinances to require properties to be kept clean and free of flammable debris and to annually abate weeds and overgrown vegetation before these materials can dry out in the spring to pose a wildfire hazard (Fresno Municipal Code Chapter 10, Article 6 relating to public nuisance abatement). The Planning and Development Department Code Enforcement Division and Department of Public Utilities Community Sanitation Division coordinate their efforts to enforce the nuisance abatement regulations and provide cleanup services when property owners do not take care of matters themselves.

City of Fresno Emergency Operations Plan, 2015, Updated 2015 The City of Fresno Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) addresses the planned response to extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, excessive heat/cold, power outages, and national security emergencies in or affecting the City of Fresno. The Plan, which was updated in 2015, does the following:
• Establishes the emergency management organization required to mitigate any significant emergency or disaster affecting the City of Fresno.
• Identifies the policies, responsibilities, and procedures required to protect the health and safety of City communities, public and private property, and the environment from natural or technological disasters.
• Establishes the operational concepts and procedures associated with initial response operations to emergencies, the extended response operations, and the recovery process.

The EOP is designed to establish the framework for implementation of the California Standardized Emergency Management System/National Incident Management System for the City of Fresno, which is located within the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services’ Mutual Aid Region V. It is intended to facilitate multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional coordination, particularly between the City of Fresno and the Fresno County Operational Area, including special districts and state agencies, in emergency operations. This plan will be used in conjunction with the Fresno County EOP and the State of California Emergency Plan. The plan is designed to guide the reader or user through each phase of an emergency: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.39
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Other Plans and Policies
Other hazard mitigation-related policies and plans in place in and observed by the City of Fresno include the following:
• California Code of Regulations Title 23 administrative law for development and use of land in designated floodway areas along the San Joaquin River administered by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, staffed by the California Department of Water Resources. • Standards for constructing and maintaining drainage basins and ponds to prevent mosquito breeding and to provide for mosquito control district access for inspection and abatement activities (jointly promulgated by the Planning and Development Department and Public Works Department in fall of 2005).
• Dam failure inundation plans prepared and administered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District, Southern California Edison, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company. • The California Environmental Quality Act, overseen by the Fresno City Attorney’s Office and administered by several City departments, requires consideration of health and safety impacts as they may relate to projects, which are defined as any action that may result in a change in the physical environment and that would include public facilities, and private development, and even adoption/amendment of land use plans and ordinances. An analysis of every project is conducted by the appropriate City department (the Development and Resource Management Department does the bulk of these analyses). Inquiries regarding project sites and features are distributed to departments and outside agencies that may have knowledge of, or which may regulate, aspects of the proposed project. The information obtained from these requests for comment and from other staff research is compiled into an informational document for decision-makers and the public. The information is also used to develop a list of mitigation actions to reduce or abate potential adverse impacts of the project. For those projects which may involve federal funds or require federal approvals, a parallel National Environmental Policy Act assessment is also prepared by the City.
• The Development and Resource Management Department administers regulations in the California Building Code and in Uniform Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical Codes as those codes are modified through adoption by the state and City. Plan check and inspection activities of the Department ensure structural soundness and compliance with seismic and other regulations.

E.4.4 Mitigation Outreach and Partnerships
The Fresno Department of Public Utilities, in conjunction with other agencies, provides water conservation and stormwater quality protection public information programs. The Fire Department provides personal preparedness outreach for heat and freeze emergencies and shelter-in-place information for hazardous materials emergencies. Additionally, the City has developed public service announcements for smoke detector battery life, canal safety, and fireworks safety.

The City’s Joint Information System disseminates information in Spanish, and the City can obtain translation services for other languages when necessary. A Joint Information Center plan is an annex to the City of Fresno Emergency Operations Plan and provides comprehensive guidance for early warning notification in all languages and specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) community.

Preparedness Exercises afford the opportunity to include the City of Fresno ADA Committee.

Members of the committee and volunteers from the ADA community role play for realistic first responder training.

E.4.5 Other Mitigation Efforts
• The City is a certified StormReady community through the National Weather Service. • The Fire Department, Police Department, and Solid Waste Division are nationally accredited. • The City has installed security systems for the wastewater treatment facility and for its surface water treatment plant. Generators are installed in critical groundwater pumping stations and these facilities are secured.

E.4.6 Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capabilities assessment, the City of Fresno has several existing mechanisms in place that already help to mitigate hazards. In addition to these existing capabilities, there are also opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.42
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
the community. Future improvements may include providing training for staff members related to hazards or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with the County and Cal OES. Additional training opportunities will help to inform City staff members on how best to integrate hazard information and mitigation projects into their departments. Continuing to train City staff on mitigation and the hazards that pose a risk to the City of Fresno will lead to more informed staff members who can better communicate this information to the public. In addition, the City could work to improve the CRS rating through additional floodplain management program enhancements. This could further lower the cost of flood insurance for residents.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.43
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
E.5 Mitigation Strategy
E.5.1 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
The City of Fresno adopts the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the HMPC and described in Chapter 5 Mitigation Strategy.

Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Public Works Department may utilize the hazard information when implementing Capital Improvement projects and the Planning and Development Department may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other type of development applications. The City will also incorporate this LHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill (AB) 2140.

As noted in Chapter 7 Plan Implementation, the HMPC representatives from Fresno will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual HMPC plan review meeting.

Continued Compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as specified in General Plan Policy NS-3-j: “National Flood Insurance Program. Continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by ensuring compliance with applicable requirements.”
E.5.2 Completed 2009 Mitigation Actions
The City of Fresno did not complete any of the mitigation actions identified in the 2009 plan.

However, implementation is in progress for several of these actions and will be continued as part of the mitigation strategy for this plan update.

E.5.3 Mitigation Actions
The planning team for the City of Fresno identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions based on the risk assessment. Background information as well as information on how each action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and schedule are also included.

In addition to implementing the mitigation actions below the City of Fresno will be participating in the county-wide, multi-jurisdictional action of developing and conducting a multi-hazard seasonal public awareness program. The county-wide project will be led by the County in Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.44
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
partnership with all municipalities and special districts. The City agrees to help disseminate information on hazards provided by the County. More information on the action can be found in the base plan Chapter 5 Mitigation Strategy (see Section 5.3.3 Multi-Jurisdictional Mitigation Actions, Action #1. Develop and Conduct a Multi-Hazard Seasonal Public Awareness Program).

1. Establish Post-Disaster Action Plan for City Continuity of Operations Plan Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, earthquake, flood, severe weather, wildfire, hazardous materials
Issue/Background: Establish a post-disaster action plan to be part of the City of Fresno Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) that will include the following elements:
• Procedures for public information
• Post-disaster damage assessment
• Grant writing
• Code enforcement
• Redundant operations
The plan will also include annexes from local businesses and large employers to improve economic and employment recovery. The plan will also identify a mechanism for the City to help businesses without COOPs develop a COOP to be incorporated, as an annex, into the City’s Emergency Operations Plan.

Other Alternatives: No action
Responsible Office: City of Fresno Emergency Preparedness Officer Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $150,000
Potential Funding: Local funds, grants
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will improve response/recovery during an event through preplanning. A City COOP and local business COOPs will reduce the impact of a disaster to the local economy and employment.

Schedule: Long term
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

2. Improve the City’s Capabilities for Sheltering Animals in a Disaster Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, earthquake, flood, severe weather, wildfire, hazardous materials
Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.45
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Issue/Background: During a disaster, not only do people need to be rescued, but their pets do also. Hurricane Katrina showed the nation that shelters do not typically allow pets, so pets may be left behind when their owners evacuate. The care of the animals left behind falls to local animal shelters. Currently, the SPCA Animal Shelter does not have the supplies to handle a large scale animal emergency. The City has approximately 18,000 licensed dogs. If a disaster occurred, they would only be able to house a small percentage of them. Overcrowding of animals usually causes diseases and loss of animal life. Purchasing new cages would alleviate some of the overcrowding created by a disaster.

Other Alternatives: Ask other agencies for supplies, if they have them available.

Responsible Office: City of Fresno Emergency Preparedness Officer Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $50,000
Potential Funding: General fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will cut down on the spread of disease and animal loss during an emergency or disaster.

Schedule: Short term
Status: 2009 project, implementation in progress

3. Train and Certify City Inspectors to Conduct Post-Disaster Damage Assessment Hazard(s) Addressed: Multi-Hazard: dam failure, earthquake, flood, severe weather, wildfire, hazardous materials
Issue/Background: City inspectors play a vital role in post-disaster building assessment and damage assessment. Pre-training and certification is vital in response and recovery to reduce loss of life, relocate populations, and ensure the rebuilding of local economies.

Other Alternatives: No action
Responsible Office: City of Fresno Emergency Preparedness Officer and Planning and Development Department
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $250,000
Potential Funding: Grants
Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.46
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will improve response/recovery during an event through pretraining and certification of individuals responsible for performing assessment of structures and facilities impacted by disasters.

Schedule: Long term
Status: 2009 project, implementation not yet started

4. Implement a Flood Awareness Program for the Public
Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood
Issue/Background: The City needs a program to educate flood-prone property owners along the San Joaquin River and in frequent annual flooding areas about the flood threat and how best to prepare, mitigate, and insure their properties.

Other Alternatives: No action
Responsible Office: City of Fresno Emergency Preparedness Officer and Planning and Development Department
Priority (High, Medium, Low): Medium
Cost Estimate: $15,000/year
Potential Funding: General fund, grants
Benefits (Avoided Losses): This will prevent the loss of human life and economic and property losses.

Schedule: Long term
Status: 2009 project, implementation not yet started

5. Southwest Fresno – Recycled Water Distribution System Construction Hazard(s) Addressed: Drought
Issue/Background: In 2009, the State of California adopted a recycled water policy establishing a mandate to increase the use of recycled water in California by 200,000 acre-feet per year by 2020 and an additional 300,000 acre-feet per year by 2030. The Recycled Water Master Plan prepared by the City of Fresno, Department of Public Utilities (DPU), identifies opportunities to assist with compliance of this law by reducing groundwater pumping and replacing groundwater with recycled water for non-potable purposes (i.e. outdoor irrigation, dust control, fountains, etc.). On April 11, 2013, the Council adopted the Recycled Water Master Plan and associated environmental documents.

Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.47
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
In 2017, the DPU commissioned a 5 MGD Tertiary Treatment Facility at the Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. DPU is currently constructing a Recycled Water Distribution System in Southwest Fresno to deliver recycled water to parks, cemeteries, schools, agricultural uses, etc., to offset potable water irrigation demands. This will help mitigate drought by enabling the use of recycled water for certain uses instead of tapping potable water supplies.

Other Alternatives: DPU has a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) which was updated in the City of Fresno’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan to manage water shortages including drought conditions. The WSCP consists of four stages allowing the City to ultimately reduce its water demand to a level commensurate with the water supplies available to a maximum reduction of 50 percent.

Responsible Office: City of Fresno Department of Public Utilities Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: $75,000,000
Potential Funding: California State Water Resources Control Board – Clean Water State Revolving Fund
Benefits (Avoided Losses): Reduced ground water pumping by using recycled water for nonpotable purposes.

Schedule: Ongoing with completion in 2019
Status: New project

6. Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Compliance including Groundwater Sustainability Planning and Implementation
Hazard(s) Addressed: Drought
Issue/Background: The Kings subbasin underlays the City of Fresno and like many groundwater basins throughout the State, this subbasin is in overdraft condition with underground aquifers adversely impacted by overuse. Such impacts include significant decline in water storage and water levels, degradation of water quality, and land subsidence resulting in the permanent loss of storage capacity. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) provides for the establishment of local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) to manage groundwater sustainability within groundwater subbasins defined by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The City of Fresno has become a joint power authority of the North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency, other members of the Agency include the County of Fresno, City of Kerman, City of Clovis, Biola Community Services District, Garfield Water District and International Water District. As a member of the North Kings GSA, the City of Fresno is required to participate in the development and implementation, no later than January 31, 2020, of a Fresno County (Fresno) Annex E.48
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to ensure a sustainable yield of groundwater, without causing undesirable results. Failure to comply with that requirement could result in the State asserting its power to manage local groundwater resources. Participation in the North Kings GSA and the implementation of a GSP will allow the City to maintain sustainable groundwater supplies while providing insurance against periods of long-term drought, a high significance hazard for the City of Fresno.

Other Alternatives: None, compliance required by law, failure to meet requirements will result in State intervention and oversight.

Responsible Office: City Engineer and North Kings GSA
Priority (High, Medium, Low): High
Cost Estimate: Varies by GSA for preparation of the required GSP. Further expenses are anticipated to be accrued for the planning and construction of groundwater recharge projects.

Potential Funding: Property owner assessments along with grant funding opportunities from the State.

Benefits (Avoided Losses): Preparation and implementation of the GSP by the respective GSAs will result in the management of groundwater in a manner that is sustainable and avoids undesirable results as defined by the California State Department of Water Resources.

Schedule: GSAs must complete and submit the required GSP to DWR by January 31, 2020, which is to be fully implemented and result in sustainability of the groundwater basin, with no undesirable effects, by the year 2040.

Status: New project in 2018

The City of Fresno (City) will hold a public hearing at 10:05 A.M. on Thursday, July 15, 2021, at the City Council Chambers at the City Hall located at 2600 Fresno Street to receive public comments on the City’s Draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (2020 UWMP), the City’s Draft 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (2020 WSCP), and a Draft Appendix L – Addendum to the City of Fresno’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, “Quantifying Regional Self Reliance and Reduced Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed” (Addendum). The Draft 2020 UWMP addresses current and projected water supply availability and reliability and provides a comparison with current and projected water demands through the year 2045.
