CITY OF GROVER BEACH

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCT AND DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS (Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-44, adopted 04-16-07, revised 02-18-2020) The City Council and staff welcomes and encourages civic participation and debate on issues. The Council values the public’s opinion and in every Council meeting invite and encourages the public to address the Council on any matter of interest. The Council adopted these policies and procedures for appropriate conduct and decorum at Council meetings and establish guidance for public participation during Council meetings.

These policies will foster and provide greater clarity to preserve the intent of open government and maintain a positive environment for public input and City Council decision-making.

1.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – IN GENERAL

1.1 The presiding officer is responsible for the maintenance of order and decorum at all times.

1.2 The presiding officer shall determine all points of order subject to the right of any Council member to appeal to the City Council by majority vote. If any appeal is taken, the question shall be “Shall the decision of the presiding officer be sustained” in which event a majority vote of the Council shall govern and conclusively determine such question of order.

1.3 All Council members, staff members and members of the public should speak respectfully and avoid the use of profanity, vulgarity and slanderous comments. Recognizing that the First Amendment precludes the City Council form prohibiting speakers from speaking based upon the content of their speech, the presiding officer shall use their best efforts, short of enforcement action, to remind and encourage all participating in the meeting to keep their speech respectful towards others and within bounds appropriate for children and persons of sensitivity toward course language as a courtesy to others present or otherwise viewing Council meetings.

2.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – COUNCIL MEMBERS

2.1 Manner of Speaking.

Any Council member desiring to speak shall first address the presiding officer. Upon recognition by the presiding officer, the Council member shall speak only to the question under debate.

U2.1(a) Questioning Staff.

A Council member desiring to question the staff should address his question to the City Manager, or, in appropriate cases, the City Clerk or City Attorney, who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry or to designate some staff member for that purpose. Such a designation may be made at the time of any staff presentation or on the agenda listing for the item.

U2.1(b) Interruptions.

Once recognized, a Council member shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer; unless a point of order is raised by another Council member, or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another Council member.

3.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – STAFF

3.1 City Manager Responsibilities
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring that members of the administrative staff observe the rules of decorum and order set forth in this Policy.

3.2 AAddressing the City Council
Any administrative staff member desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member or member of the public. Administrative staff members shall accord the utmost courtesy to the City Council, other administrative staff members and the public.

4.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

4.1 AAddressing the City Council
Any member of the public desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer at the appropriate place on the agenda. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member, City Manager, City Attorney or member of the administrative staff or member of the public.

4.2 Time Limitation for Addressing the City Council
Public comment when addressing the City Council shall be generally limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. Depending on the extent of the agenda and the number of persons desiring to speak on an issue, the presiding officer may, at the beginning of the hearing, set a different time limit for each speaker. Any person may speak for a longer period of time upon approval from the presiding officer, when deemed necessary, for instance when a person is speaking on behalf of a group or has a graphic or slide presentation requiring more time.

4.3 Failure to Yield, Disruptions
Any person who refuses to relinquish the floor after their allotted time or while attending the City Council meeting engages in conduct or speech which disrupts the business of the meeting shall be brought to order and/or removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the presiding officer.

Disruptive remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, clapping, whistles, yells and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the presiding officer who may direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove such offenders from the room.

4.4 Prosecution
Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the presiding officer.

5.0 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

5.1 The Chief of Police or his designee shall be the ex-officio sergeant-at-arms of the City Council. The sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all legal and valid orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum in the Council Chamber. Upon instructions from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove any disorderly person from the Council Chambers or place the disorderly person under arrest or both.

5.2 As set forth in Government Code Section 54957.9, in the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a person or group of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible or impedes the ability of the Council to hold the meeting, and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the presiding officer may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Duly accredited representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City Council from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 22, 2024 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer Gabriel Munoz-Morris, Senior Engineer
Nick Szamet, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report on the City’s water supply conditions and estimated future water demand along with water supply alternatives and provide direction to staff regarding potential modifications for the City’s current water rate structure.

BACKGROUND
This report provides an update on the City’s water supply conditions including estimated future water demand along with an analysis of water supply alternatives including the Central Coast Blue recycled water project. The report also provides information about the City’s water rate structure adopted on December 11, 2023, and options that modify this rate structure in light of changes related to the Central Coast Blue project. Staff is seeking Council direction on potential rate modifications with formal action subsequently brought to the Council on May 13.

Overall Water Supply Conditions
In contrast with cities with multiple water supply sources, the City only has two water sources:

Lopez Lake (Lopez) and the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin (groundwater). The total amount of water historically available to the City is 2,207 acre-feet per year (AFY) comprised of 800 AFY of Lopez water and 1,407 AFY of groundwater. In response to rapidly declining groundwater elevations observed as early as 2019, the City and neighboring agencies significantly reduced groundwater pumping and the City currently only pumps 500 AFY.

Due to above-average rainfall in 2023 and 2024, Lopez Lake is currently full and water is overtopping the spillway. As a result, the City will receive its full 800 AFY allocation of Lopez water this year with sufficient storage to provide the City’s full allocation for the next five years.

Additionally, recent groundwater monitoring results indicate that groundwater elevations have rebounded and the City should be able to rely on current levels of groundwater pumping (500 AFY) for the next few years even if an extended drought were to begin this summer; however, in subsequent years of drought the City could need to further reduce groundwater pumping along with other nearby agencies in order to protect against seawater intrusion. Given these conditions, staff plans to bring the Council a resolution to modify the current water shortage declaration from a Stage 1 declaration to a “no water shortage” declaration at a future meeting. Such an action is consistent with the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan shown in Attachment 1.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 2 April 22, 2024
Water Supply and Demand Estimates
The supply and demand estimates on the following pages assume the City can rely on its full Lopez allocation and that groundwater conditions remain stable for the next five years which together provide 1,300 AFY. Chart 1 below shows actual demand for each of the last five years compared to the City’s current water supply. This data illustrates that demand has remained fairly consistent and that the City’s supplies have been sufficient to meet the City’s water needs in each of the last five years but with little or no water buffer for a factor of safety.

Looking ahead to the future, subsequent supply and demand charts beginning with Chart 2 on page 3 incorporate water demand estimates using three demand scenarios. The primary scenario (Estimated Demand) is shown with a yellow line and based on three overall assumptions:
• 2024 demand will be similar to 2023 demand (1,176 AFY) • 2024 to 2027 demand will largely be dependent on development projects currently in construction or estimated to be completed by 2027;
• Demand beyond 2027 will primarily be dependent on population growth.

Although the City has seen little population growth in recent years, staff believes it is reasonable to assume some level of population growth in the future. The San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) Regional 2050 Growth Forecast, which includes a range of future growth estimates, has historically been used by the City in developing planning documents and estimates of future growth. Staff believes the “low growth” estimate from this forecast is most appropriate for use in estimating future population growth and associated water demand.

The other two demand scenarios involve converting population growth to water demand by using a range of historic demand values divided by population over the same time periods. The minimum demand shown in the charts is based on 72 gallons-per-capita-per-day (gpcd) which Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 3 April 22, 2024

was achieved after two years of significant water conservation efforts and a Stage 3 water shortage declaration by the Council requiring up to 30% mandatory water use reductions. During that time, staff was assessing penalties of up to $300 per billing period on properties that failed to achieve mandatory conservation targets with staff preparing to recommend the Council adopt a Stage 5 water shortage declaration given continued drought conditions which would have required up to 50% mandatory conservation and additional penalties. The upper bound shown on the charts is based on the average demand of 86 gpcd over the last 10 years. Estimated Demand is shown to be near the minimum achieved demand.

Chart 2 below shows the five-year estimate of future water demand compared with the City's current full supply. As shown in the chart, there is sufficient water supply projected in the next five years to meet the City’s demand. However, similar to the past five years there is not projected to be a significant supply buffer for unforeseen needs.

Water Supply Risks
The previous section illustrated that under current water supply conditions made possible by above average rainfall, the City should have sufficient supply to meet expected demand through 2028. However, this supply estimate does not factor in having significant water reserves to address a short- or long-term supply reduction. There are a number of factors that could result in a short- or long-term reduction in the City's existing water supply. The following evaluation of water supply risks relies on historic records and future estimates of lake levels, atmospheric conditions, and groundwater elevations collected by the County of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department and the Northern Cities Management Area Technical Group (NCMA TG), along with existing and projected water demand as previously discussed.

Endangered Species and Other Environmental Concerns

It is necessary for the County to release water downstream from Lopez Lake in order to support endangered species and provide water for farming downstream of the dam. As a result of a lawsuit challenging the operation of the dam and the impacts on the endangered steelhead trout, the Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 4 April 22, 2024

County is preparing a Habitat Conservation Plan which will ultimately determine the amount and frequency of water required to be released to support endangered species. Until the Habitat Conservation Plan is completed and approved, the County will make releases from the dam in accordance with an interim downstream release schedule that has been approved by the resource agencies. In the future, there could be additional agricultural demands, habitat and or species issues that could further reduce downstream releases. Although it is impossible to predict how much water will be required to be released downstream in the final approved downstream release schedule, according to the County it is highly unlikely that downstream releases will be reduced and any one of the factors identified above are likely to result in a reduction in the amount of water available to deliver to participating agencies.

Equipment Failure, Damage and Maintenance
A significant failure or damage to any of the equipment or water mains supplying water from Lopez Lake could result in a long-term reduction in water delivered to participating agencies. Supply chain issues that have been evident since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in reductions in Lopez Lake water deliveries. As an example of the potential impacts of required maintenance at Lopez Lake, in 2002 lake levels were lowered to make seismic improvements to the dam requiring the County to significantly reduce lake levels as seen in Chart 3 of the following section. Recently County staff shut down the Lopez water treatment plant to make perform major maintenance and replace equipment. During that time, the County replaced Lopez water deliveries with State Water to the Lopez Zone 3 participating agencies. During a separate event, an accident impacting infrastructure in the State Water Project resulted in a need to shut down State Water delivery and agencies were notified that they would be receiving no water from either source. Fortunately, this shutdown only lasted for a portion of one day, but it illustrates that participating agencies should be prepared to provide water from an alternate source in the event of future equipment failures.

Extended Drought
Both of the City’s water supply sources rely on sufficient rainfall in southern San Luis Obispo County. It is anticipated that the region will experience more frequent and longer periods of drought in the future which directly impacts the resiliency of the City's water supply. Chart 3 on the following page shows Lopez Lake water levels from 1969 to present showing increasing periods of drought and their effect on storage in the lake as a 10-year average. The downward trend in average storage over the last half century illustrates the impacts of climate change and why the County is projecting more frequent and longer duration droughts and corresponding low lake levels.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 5 April 22, 2024
In 2014, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Low Reservoir Response Plan (LRRP), an adaptive management plan that reduces water deliveries in response to reservoir storage levels.

The LRRP delivery reduction schedule is shown in Table 1 below and the representative water level in the lake which triggers the LRRP is shown as a green horizontal line in the chart above.

Municipal diversions are the amount of water delivered to the member agencies.

To estimate the impacts of an extended drought on the City’s water supply, staff developed a scenario assuming an extended drought began in 2024. Under the scenario and based on historic data, Lopez Lake storage could reach 15,000 AF by September 2029 resulting in a supply reduction from 800 AF to 720 AF in accordance with the LRRP. In future years, lake storage could reach 10,000 AF by April 2030 with a corresponding reduction in entitlement to 640 AF. Even under average rainfall conditions and using historic lake draw-down data, lake storage levels could reach the 20,000 AF threshold for enactment of the LRRP in six years. This information is depicted under “Estimated Min Supply” in the following charts beginning with Chart 4 on page 6.

Recent contract changes allow the City to store unused entitlement and downstream releases.

The City has historically been able to store a small portion of water from these sources. For example, in 2022, the City had stored approximately 200 AF of water that was used to help offset reductions in deliveries under the LRRP. It is difficult to predict future quantities of stored water, but it is likely this could be used to prolong full delivery from Lopez Lake for several months.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 6 April 22, 2024

As required by the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin Adjudication, the NCMA TG has completed extensive monitoring of the groundwater basin and prepared Annual Reports that are filed with the Court. Monitoring is conducted to document how groundwater levels respond to annual rainfall and groundwater pumping by agencies and agriculture. The monitoring specifically includes the study of three wells that provide early warning of impending seawater intrusion due to their location. In 2009, monitoring well tests identified a rise in sodium-chloride and potassium in one well located in Oceano. According to Todd Engineers in the 2009 NCMA TG Annual Report, the rise in these water constituents indicated the onset of seawater intrusion. Because of this concern the NCMA TG has now installed real-time monitoring devices in the monitoring wells. This will allow the TG to detect seawater intrusion earlier than the previous quarterly cycle.

Currently the only response available to mitigate against potential seawater intrusion is to reduce groundwater pumping, and as a result, it is possible under extended drought conditions that the City could need to reduce groundwater pumping below the current 500 AFY rate. Based on declining groundwater elevations observed by the NCMA TG during the most recent period of extended drought, the NCMA TG recommended a reduction in total municipal groundwater pumping to 25% of the total agency allocation or approximately 1000 AFY total. The corresponding reduction in the City’s groundwater allocation would result in a pumping limitation of approximately 350 AFY which is depicted under “Estimated Min Supply” in the following charts.

Chart 4 below assumes an extended drought begins in 2024 and shows projected demand, as discussed previously, versus supply with the corresponding reduction in supply under the LRRP in 2029. Staff estimates supply may be insufficient to meet demand beginning in 2029 even if the groundwater basin could supply the full 500 AFY. Further reductions in supply could result if the NCMA TG determines that a reduction in groundwater pumping is warranted.

Regional Population Growth
Assuming projected population growth occurs both in the City of Grover Beach and in nearby areas relying on groundwater from the Santa Maria groundwater basin, the result would be Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 7 April 22, 2024
additional demands on the groundwater basin and probable declines in groundwater elevations during normal rainfall years. As mentioned previously, growth in the southern portion of San Luis Obispo County since 1969 has resulted in a significant drop in groundwater elevations and a corresponding reduction in groundwater flowing to the northwestern portion of the groundwater basin that the City of Grover Beach relies on. Monitoring well readings in each of the last five years showed that groundwater levels in the Cienega Valley near Oceano were low enough that the freshwater gradient from east to west that is necessary to protect against seawater intrusion no longer existed and in fact the gradient had reversed from west to east. Growing demands on use of the groundwater basin could result in the City needing to reduce groundwater pumping below the current rate in order to protect against seawater intrusion.

Chart 5 below shows the estimated increase in water demand for a 20-year planning horizon. The chart demonstrates that the City’s water demand using the “Estimated Demand” projection would exceed supply by 2050 under ideal conditions without any drought reductions which would are likely to occur at some point over this period. Under extended drought conditions, the demand is projected to exceed supply by 2030. Even if the City has sufficient water supply to meet demand over a portion of this timeframe, there is little to no supply buffer in case of urgent water needs.

Additional Water Supply Sources
In previous sections of this report, staff has shown that future water demand is likely to exceed supply by as early as 2029 during extended drought conditions and by 2050 even under ideal conditions without supply interruptions. These projections show that without an additional supply of water, future water supply deficits would impact community viability and limit the City’s ability to approve additional development including along West Grand Avenue as identified in the West Grand Avenue Master Plan. For these reasons, staff is recommending that the City continue to pursue a source of alternate water supply that is not impacted by drought conditions.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 8 April 22, 2024

Chart 6 below shows projected long-term water demand in relation to the City's estimated reduced groundwater and Lopez Lake supplies during extended drought conditions along with the impact of augmenting those supplies with an additional 500 AF from another source. This illustrates that securing an additional water supply of 500 AF would allow the City to fully meet expected demand over the 20-year planning horizon, even when water supply is restricted while still providing a recommended operational buffer of approximately 15-20% of supply.

Beginning in 1969 following reports of potential seawater intrusion in the groundwater basin by the State Department of Water Resources, water supply experts representing the City and neighboring agencies began studying potential sources of additional water supply for the region.

This work has been adopted and carried forward by the NCMA TG with a number of additional studies performed in recent years under the direction of water supply managers representing each of the agencies. The following is the most recent information available on each of the potential supply sources currently being considered.

Desalination
There are three primary opportunities for desalinization projects that have been considered by staff and the NCMA TG. These opportunities include a project resulting from the County-led Desalination Executable Solution and Logistics Plan (DESAL Plan), South County desalinization project, and Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant desalinization project. • County Desalination Study. The City of Grover Beach is a participating agency in a County-led effort to study opportunity sites for a regional desalination project (DESAL Plan). DESAL Plan is a five-phase effort to study, site, design, permit, and construct a seawater desalination plant in San Luis Obispo County to provide water resiliency for key opportunity areas. Phases 1 and 2, which are to establish an agreement and develop a Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 9 April 22, 2024

desalination plan, are currently planned to run through 2028. The County estimates construction of a desalination plant to occur between 2041 and 2045 but indicates that those dates are not certain. Given the regional nature of the DESAL Plant, there is no guarantee at this time of project location or benefit from the project for Grover Beach. • South County Desalination Project. The City of Grover Beach would be unable to finance a desalination project on its own due to the significant cost. As a result, several South County agencies would have to pursue a joint project in the region and the process would be similar to that undergone to date in preparation of the Central Coast Blue project.

Estimated timing to develop, design and deliver such a project would be similar to the DESAL Plan timeline. Assuming work began immediately and anticipating that this effort would begin roughly five years behind the County DESAL plan, it is unlikely a South County desalinization project would provide water until at least 2050 or later.

Staff would also note that the Coastal Commission has reviewed various desalination project applications in California in recent years and has consistently indicated that desalination projects may be permitted only if local agencies have done everything possible to exhaust other possible sources of water supply. Specifically, the Commission has referenced the need for local agencies to pursue recycled water projects prior to desalination projects as water recycling is seen as an available water source with fewer environmental impacts, lower energy use, and more benefits than desalination.

Further, while a desalination project would provide additional water supply, this supply would be directly pumped into to the water distribution system and would not protect the groundwater basin against seawater intrusion. The absence of this key project benefit would require that a desalination project be designed and constructed to produce a significantly larger amount of water when compared to a recycled water project with injection wells which bolsters the groundwater basin. In a 2015 study entitled Framework for Direct Potable Reuse written by Water Reuse, American Water Works Association, Water Environment Federation, and the National Water Research Institute, treatment costs for seawater desalination were estimated to be over 3 times more costly per acrefoot than for recycled water and energy costs were estimated to be over 3 times greater. • Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Desalination Project. In 2016, Water Systems Consulting prepared a pipeline feasibility study to consider delivering between 500 AFY and 1,300 AFY of desalinated seawater from the Diablo Canyon power plant to Zone 3 contractors via the Lopez pipeline. This study was done in conjunction with PG&E’s announced plans to close and decommission the plant. The City could receive up to 230 AFY from such a project. The study indicates the pipeline would be feasible to construct and could deliver water at a cost of between $1,800 and $3,100 per AF (approximately $3,000 to $5,000 per AF in current dollars) for the pipeline infrastructure alone. The actual cost per acre-foot would include the additional cost of desalinization, plus any additional amount charged by PG&E, plus the cost of any improvements needed at the Diablo Canyon desalinization facility. However, since this study was done PG&E’s license for the plant has been extended until 2030 and the plant could continue operating past this point.

At this time, there has been no indication that PG&E is interested in participating in such a project and the environmental constraints are uncertain.

Purchase of Water Supply from Other Agencies
The City does not participate in the State Water Project (SWP) after rejecting this participation prior to construction of the coastal branch of the State Water Project in 1997. As a result, the City Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 10 April 22, 2024

cannot participate in the project to purchase State Water and would have to purchase excess water from SWP customers. The two potential sources of excess State Water available to the City would be from the Oceano Community Services District (OCSD) and County of San Luis Obispo.

The cost per acre foot for a State Water purchase is not known at this time and would likely include recoupment of infrastructure costs in addition to water treatment costs.

Based on long range demand forecasting by OCSD, it appears that OCSD could have approximately 200 AFY of State Water available for purchase during non-drought years. This would require OCSD to purchase an additional drought buffer and the excess water would only be available for purchase during periods of time when the SWP is delivering 50% or more of its allocation. During drought conditions, this 50% threshold is rarely met as shown in Table 2 below:

The County has an excess allocation of 15,000 AFY that is currently used as a drought buffer to assure local State Water contractors receive their full allocation during periods of time when the SWP is delivering less than 100%. The State Department of Water Resources recently modified rules for the purchase and exchange of State Water and the County and Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) recently entered into an agreement for the exchange of State Water supply for pipeline capacity. The County is now considering the sale of their excess State Water entitlement which could potentially result in local State Water contractors no longer seeing full delivery during periods of extended drought.

Because of these changes, the City could potentially purchase a portion of the County’s excess allocation of State Water as a supply option. However, the City would have to construct a pumping station at the Lopez Lake turnout in order to deliver additional water from the pipeline with an estimated cost of $1.5 million. As discussed previously, the SWP has delivered far less than 100% of the participating agencies contract amounts during periods of extended drought. In order to improve reliability, the City would have to also purchase an additional drought buffer and as discussed previously this drought buffer would only provide full delivery during times when the State Water Project is delivering in excess of 50% of an agency's allocation. The cost and feasibility of actually delivering this water to the City are uncertain at this time, however staff will continue to track this with the County.

Because of the lack of reliability of the SWP and reduced deliveries during periods of extended drought, the purchase of water from OCSD or the County is not seen by staff as a reliable longterm solution for the City. However, it could potentially provide a short-term solution to address unexpected water supply reductions during normal rainfall periods while other water supply alternatives are being considered. The City also has the option to negotiate an agreement for short-term supplemental water supply from another agency. Several nearby agencies and the County share water infrastructure that would allow water to be delivered to Grover Beach if needed in the event of an emergency. Based on previous Council direction, staff is continuing to pursue an emergency supply option though there is less urgency with this effort given the amount of rainfall this winter and resulting increase in near-term water supply.

Lopez Lake Spillway Raise
In 2013, Stetson Engineers prepared a report evaluating the cost and feasibility of raising the Lopez Lake dam spillway. According to the report, there was a potential to produce between 565 Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 11 April 22, 2024

and 700 additional AFY in the lake at a cost of between $1,255 and $1,258 per acre-foot (approximately $2,103 in current dollars). This additional supply could potentially provide the City up to 124 AFY of additional supply, although this will not meet the City’s estimated additional supply needs. Stetson estimated it would take approximately two years to work through environmental and administrative hurdles and then an additional four years to complete design procurement and construction. However, the project would require modifications to the operation of the dam which in turn would require modifying the Lopez Lake dam operating permit and the Habitat Conservation Plan. County staff, the Zone 3 Technical Advisory Committee and the NCMA TG all evaluated the regulatory hurdles compared to the amount of water produced and determined the project to be infeasible compared to other water supply alternatives.

Storm Water Retention
The City has a number of storm water retention basins primarily developed to reduce the quantity of runoff and thereby prevent flooding in the southern portions of Grover Beach. Due to their location within the city and the presence of highly permeable dune sands, the water infiltrates the ground quickly though does not reach the lower aquifers from which the City draws its groundwater. The San Luis Obispo County Stormwater Resource Plan adopted in 2020 studied the feasibility of regional storm water basins and their impacts as a water supply source and indicated that there was a potential to generate only 26 AFY of additional water supply in the region by constructing regional basins in the upper portions of the aquifer.

Storm water could be captured, treated and injected into the deeper portions of the aquifer or treated and used directly by the water system. The treatment and infrastructure to do this would be similar to seawater desalinization and recycled water projects. However, to have sufficient supply of storm water to provide a reliable and meaningful quantity of water, the storm water storage volume would have to be similar to other reservoirs in the region such as Lopez Lake and would be dependent upon rainfall conditions similar to other current water supply sources. For these reasons, staff does not consider storm water retention to be a viable supply option.

Water Conservation
Water conservation is currently the only means immediately available to the City to address a water shortage, but it is only able to address a minor supply shortage for a short period of time.

The City’s average water usage continues to be among the lowest in the state and one of the lowest among local water purveyors. The 2022-2023 Stage 3 water shortage declaration requiring a 20% reduction and imposing penalties was enforced for four months and only produced a percapita demand reduction of approximately 5%.

As seen in the previous water supply and demand charts in this report, during recent extended drought conditions, which included a robust public information campaign, water conservation retrofit programs, and penalties for non-compliance up to $300 per billing period, the City was able to reduce total production to an average of 86 gpcd and a one-year low of 72 gpcd. However, immediate rebounding to higher per-capita water demand in subsequent years suggests that previous conservation efforts and changes in personal habits have already reached a point of diminishing returns and so it is unlikely that water conservation alone would provide a reasonable long-term solution to the City's water supply reliability problems.

Recycled Water
Based on research of the cost and feasibility of various water supply sources, the NCMA TG recommended that member agencies pursue a recycled water project and injection of recycled Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 12 April 22, 2024
water into a series of injection wells located just inland of the coastal freshwater-seawater interface. Injection of this water would create a ridge of fresh water near the coast to protect the groundwater basin from seawater intrusion and allow greater pumping capacity which would provide additional and sustainable groundwater allocation for NCMA agencies.

To that end, the City has worked since 2016 with Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach on a recycled water project called Central Coast Blue and entered into a Cost-Sharing Agreement and Joint Powers Authority called the Central Coast Blue Regional Recycled Water Authority in 2022.

OCSD and the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District have been involved in the planning process though are not currently member agencies but could participate in a broader scope of the project. As a result of the project, it is estimated that Grover Beach would have an increase of 510 AFY of additional groundwater supply which would offset drought-induced shortages in other supply sources to meet existing demand and provide additional water supply to meet future demand. To date, approximately $9 million has been spent on the project by the partner agencies for engineering design services, property acquisition, and other costs including $3 million expended by the City.

On March 18, 2024, the CCBRRWA held a Board meeting at which the project team provided an update and indicated that estimated costs for the project based on the 90% design have increased significantly to a range of $134-$159 million up from a range of $85-$112 million in 2022. Most of the escalation is attributed to inflation. In recent years, the construction industry has experienced extreme material cost volatility due to inflation and post-pandemic supply chain issues. These market conditions have increased costs for the Project and many other water resources projects throughout the State and country, especially those employing advanced treatment technologies.

Given the estimated cost increases, the project team paused project planning to allow the three cities to review their respective water supply needs and to determine next steps. This pause allows time to seek out additional grant opportunities and pursue restoration of the $10 million in Water Recycling Funding Program grants withdrawn due to budget reductions to close the State budget deficit. Based on timelines from the project team, it is expected that if the Central Coast Blue project resumed it would take approximately 18 months to complete final design and permitting and approximately two years for construction and startup. Water from the project would be available between six and eight months following start up. If construction began in 2026, the City would see the water supply increase in late 2029 when it is anticipated the City would need additional supply should the region experience extended drought conditions. Staff would note that the Arroyo Grande City Council discussed water supply needs on April 9, 2024, and provided direction to staff to begin the process of withdrawing from the Central Coast Blue project though remaining in the underlying Joint Powers Authority to explore water supply alternatives.

In order to continue to evaluate water supply alternatives for cost-effective water resiliency, staff believes it is prudent for the City to continue pursuing development of a recycled water project.

Such a project would involve reframing and rescoping the existing Central Coast Blue project and potentially involve a broader set of partner agencies including OCSD and the Sanitation District to provide a more cost-effective water resiliency solution. To incorporate as much of the existing project investment including property acquisition, grant funding, and design work, staff would further recommend continuing this work with a goal of beginning construction in 2026/2027 on a recycled water project to meet the City and region’s water supply needs. Such a scenario is included in the following section on potential water rate options.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 13 April 22, 2024

Water Rate Structure Options
As a result of the estimated cost increase for the Central Coast Blue project and delaying further project development for at least one year, staff has prepared five options related to the water rate structure adopted by the Council on December 11, 2023. To produce the revenue requirements, assumptions were made regarding grant funding, financing charges, and loan repayment for water recycling efforts as shown in Table 3 below.

Option 1: Leave December 2023 Rate Structure in Place
• Status quo option that leaves existing rate structure in place using the previous $93M average cost estimate for the Central Coast Blue project. • Rate payers would see no immediate impact on water bills. • Option is not viable now given increase in average project cost to $146M unless rates were increased at time of construction through another Proposition 218 process.

Option 2: Increase Rates Now to Fund Revised Cost of Central Coast Blue Project • Assumes moving forward with project construction using the $146M cost estimate with limited delay.
• Proposition 218 process would need to commence immediately to adjust rate structure to accommodate increased debt burden from financing.
• Rate payers would see sizable increases in water bills upon adoption of new rate structure.

Option 3: Decrease Rates Near-Term and Increase When Needed for Construction of the Central Coast Blue Project
• Same assumptions as Option 2 but provides near-term relief to rate payers afforded by pausing the project.
• While rates would lower this year, there would need to be a water revenue increase of 52% in fiscal year 2025-26.
• Proposition 218 process would need to commence by the end of 2024 to accommodate this option.
• Rate payers would see initial short-term decrease in water bills though a sizable increase upon adoption of a new rate structure.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 14 April 22, 2024

Option 4: Remove Construction Costs for Central Coast Blue Project and Maintain Funds for Water Resiliency Efforts
• Option would remove all construction-related expenses related to Central Coast Blue from the rate structure but continue to provide funding for recycling water efforts. • This option would decrease overall revenue requirements by 9.7% in 2023 with 3.3% annual rate increases for water system projects and needs not related to recycled water and other water resiliency.
• Rate payers would see decreased costs on future bills and a credit for the difference on charges collected since February 1, 2024.
• Less costly option in the future as initial increase this year will have a compounding effect leading to lower future increases.
• Maintains the City’s ability to continue work on securing sustainable water supply through recycled water and other water resiliency efforts with a goal of constructing a facility beginning in 2026/2027.
• City would continue to have the lowest water rates in the county under this option.

Option 5: Remove All Costs for Central Coast Blue and Water Resiliency Efforts • Option would remove all expenses for construction of Central Coast Blue project and not include any funding for water resiliency efforts
• This option would decrease overall revenue requirements by 15.5% from the adopted rate structure with 4.2% annual increases for water system projects and needs not related to recycled water and other water resiliency.
• Rate payers would see decreased costs on future bills and a credit for the difference on charges collected since February 1, 2024.
• More costly option than Option 4 as funding will not be compounded at the same rate. • Removes all funding for the City’s water resiliency efforts, including by requiring a related policy action of withdrawing from the Central Coast Blue project and Joint Powers Authority.
• City would continue to have the lowest water rates in the county under this option.

As noted above and in Attachment 3, both Options 4 and 5 would result in the City’s water rates remaining the lowest in San Luis Obispo County, while Option 4 would retain funding for recycled water and water resiliency efforts. All five options maintain revenue capacity for capital projects and other water system needs outside of the Central Coast Blue project. Staff is seeking the Council’s input and direction on a preferred rate structure option which staff would bring back to the Council for formal action on May 13.

Lastly, staff is not recommending changes to the wastewater rate structure adopted in December 2023 as these rates are not impacted by the Central Coast Blue project or timeline. The adopted wastewater rate increase is necessary for sewer maintenance and operations, as well as critical capital projects for sewer infrastructure, including replacement of 60 year-old sewer lines.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report. Council direction could lead to future actions that may impact revenue in the Water Enterprise Fund.

Staff Report: Water Supply Update and Water Rate Options Page 15 April 22, 2024

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Receive a report on the City’s water supply conditions and estimated future water demand along with water supply alternatives and provide direction to staff regarding potential modifications for the City’s current water rate structure; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Law
This Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) for the City of Grover Beach (City) outlines a program for responding to water supply limitations. The intent of the water conservation measures and progressive restrictions on water use and method of use identified in this WSCP is to provide certainty to water users and enable the City to control water use, provide water supplies, and plan and implement water management measures in a fair and orderly manner for the benefit of the public.

In 2015, in accordance with the Governor of the State of California mandate (Executive Order B‐29‐15), the City revised declaration of a stage 2 water shortage condition and prohibitions on the wasteful use of water. The City updated and amended the WSCP in June 2021 to meet the new requirements of the 2020 UWMP update.

This WSCP describes measures to be implemented during times of declared water shortages, or declared water shortage emergencies by either the City , State or Federal government. It establishes six stages of drought response actions to be implemented in times of shortage, with increasing restrictions on water use in response to decreasing available supplies.

1.2 City of Grover Beach
The City of Grover Beach (City) is an incorporated city of 13,214 residents located in southern San Luis Obispo County with the neighboring communities of City of Pismo Beach to the north, the City of Arroyo Grande to the east, and the communities of Oceano and Halcyon to the south. The City currently incorporates 2.3 square miles of land with primarily residential and commercial land uses. City topography varies from sea level to greater than 200 feet above mean sea level. The 2020 population of the City was 13,214 based on data from the Department of Finance (DOF). Population projections were based on the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments’ (SLOCOG) draft 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County Population, Housing, and Employment Projections. All 5,278 connections to the City’s water system are metered.

The City has a variety of water sources including groundwater and imported surface water. The City extracts groundwater from the Santa Maria Valley Groundwater Basin. The City’s current allocation under the basin’s Division of Safe Yield is 1,407 AF. Additionally, the City receivesimported treated surface water from the Lopez Water Treatment Plant. The City’s current contract entitlement is 800 AF.

Relevant sections of the water code as related to the WSCP are included in Appendix A.

CHAPTER 2 WATER SUPPLY ANALYSIS

2.1 Water Supply Reliability Analysis
The City has never sought additional water sources to meet demands in the past 5 years, regardless of regional hydrology. Therefore, there is no basis in the hydrologic record for reducing supply reliability based upon single and/or multiple dry year conditions when imported water supply is available in addition to historical groundwater production.

Given historical pumping volumes, the level of pumping has reached a state of stability in the groundwater basin and there would be some uncertainty in pumping volumes over 500 AFY.

To supplement this statement, the City developed Table 2‐1, which involved a preliminary climate change vulnerability screening (including impacts from extreme heat, water quality, sea level rise, flooding, and wildfire) for its water supplies.

2.2 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures In accordance with CWC 10632, the City will conduct an annual water supply and demand assessment, or annual assessment, and submit to the State by July 1st of each year.

The City will determine if a shortage in supply exists and declare the appropriate water shortage level based on the findings. The City will draft and prepare a written report that discusses the results of the annual water supply and demand assessment, what water shortage level and shortage response actions are to be implemented and issue the appropriate communication to customers and local governments. A copy of the annual report will be submitted to the City Council members ahead of the meeting for review. The City Council will listen to the findings and recommendations City of Grover Beach Water Shortage Contingency Plan December 2021

Page | 2‐3
outlined in the report and vote to approve and implement the actions described in the annual report at a May Council meeting to allow sufficient time to submit the approved report to the State before the July 1st deadline.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan team will consist of the City Manager and Public Works Director. The team will draft and prepare the annual water supply reliability analysis report. The report will use the key data inputs and methodology described in Table 2‐2 to determine the unconstrained demand, infrastructure capabilities, available water supply and reliability for the current year and one dry year.

Annual Project List and
Schedule
This list will be prepared by the City’s Public Works Director and describes all the planned City projects for the year. The annual project list will be used to assess infrastructure capabilities and any potential constraints to the water system.

2.2.1 Assessment Methodology
The City will enact water shortage response actions when yearly “Blended Average Rainfall Amount” falls substantially below “Benchmark” for a given time. “Blended Average Rainfall Amount” is the average of “yearly” measured rainfall at the two official locations and “Benchmark” is the blended average of 20 inches of rainfall during a rainfall season. A dry year will be defined as a year where the rainfall condition is 65% of “Benchmark” rainfall or a quarterly “Monitoring Report” raises the concern of potential sea water intrusion and corresponds to a stage 1 water shortage level in Table 2‐3. The City will take the following steps to evaluate the water supply and demand:

1. Evaluate Water Supply: The Public Works Director monitors water supply and availability at least on a seasonal basis. Lopez Reservoir volume will be evaluated, as well as groundwater production data.

2. Calculate Unconstrained Customer Demand: Using the Public Water System Statistics Sheet calculate the total water delivered the previous year.

3. Planned Water Use for Current Year Considering Dry Year: Compare the available water supply and the customer demand and determine if there is an expected water shortage.

4. Compare supply and demand and decide on level of water supply reliability for current year and one dry year. Then, declare a water shortage level and issue relevant communication, if necessary.

2.2.2 Water Supply Reliability Analysis Timeline
The City will start to evaluate the water supply availability in January and will submit the report to Council in June of each year to allow sufficient time to submit the approved report to the State before the July 1st deadline. Figure 2‐1 shows the suggested timeline for completing the water supply reliability analysis.

2.3 Six Standard Water Shortage Levels
This WSCP identifies water conservation measures and progressive restrictions on water use to provide certainty to water users and to enable the City to control water use, provide water supplies, and plan and implement water management measures in a fair and orderly manner for the benefit of the public in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(3).

This WSCP establishessix (6)stages of drought response actionsto be implemented in times ofshortage, with increasing restrictions on water use in response to decreasing supplies. This WSCP includes both voluntary and mandatory water use reductions depending on the causes, severity, and anticipated duration of the water supply shortage. Water use reduction stages may be triggered by a shortage or contamination in one water source or a combination of sources or City Council

conditions
 Present final report and recommendations to

during times that a shortage is declared by the City, State, or Federal government. The City’s potable water sources are groundwater and imported surface water. Because shortages overlap stages, triggers could result in implementation of the more restrictive stage. Specific criteria for triggering the City’s water use reduction stages are shown in Table 2‐3.

CHAPTER 3 WATER SHORTAGE RESPONSE ACTIONS

3.1 Shortage Response Actions

3.1.1 Demand Reduction
Table 3‐1 summarizes the restrictions and prohibitions on end uses during each stage of water shortage response implemented by the City in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(4)(B). The shortage response actions are aligned to the six water shortage levels with the goal of reducing the gap between supply and demand by the required amount per level.

Any violations of the adopted mandatory water conservation measures constitute a violation of Section 7202 and is subject to the remedies identified in Chapter 4, Art. 1 of this Code.

CHAPTER 4 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIONS

4.1 Emergency Response Plan
A catastrophic event may result in a complete loss of watersuppliesfor a temporary period lasting from a day to a week or more. Examples of catastrophic events include earthquakes, widespread power outage, contamination, long‐term drought, or loss of imported supplies. In the event of a sudden and catastrophic loss of water supply, such as in the case of a regional power outage or earthquake that damages City water infrastructure, the City will initially rely on water supply contained in the City’s storage reservoirs to deliver water directly to customers. If the water supply interruption continues or is expected to continue for an extended period, the City will contact neighboring water suppliers and implement a transfer of water supply using existing system interconnections to the extent that neighboring suppliers have sufficient supplies available for transfer. These initial actions will allow the City to provide water for basic health and safety needs to City’s water customers until the magnitude and duration of the catastrophic water supply interruption is determined and local emergency response plans can be enacted. Additionally, the City will provide alerts and recommendations to water customers via social media, the City’s website and the City’s information channel (Channel 20).

In the event of a catastrophic emergency the City will immediately declare and enact an appropriate water shortage level and response actions, shown in Table 3‐1. The UWMP Act requires a catastrophic supply interruption plan. The City’s current Multi‐Hazard Emergency Response Plan was used as a basis for the catastrophic supply interruption plan.

This plan looks at the vulnerability of each source and distribution system to events such as wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, landslides, rockslides, other natural disasters, and unforeseen emergencies. The actions taken to address each catastrophe are presented in Table 4‐1 below:

Table 4‐1: Catastrophic Supply Interruption Actions
Possible Catastrophe Summary of Actions
Power Outage
 The City’s initial actions will be to determine if the outage is local to the water system or regional and then determine the estimated duration of the outage.
 If deemed necessary, and dependent on the anticipated duration of the outage, backup power generators will be connected to the City’s wells and water treatment facilities to restore operations.
 The source of the outage should be remedied as quickly as possible, however, if power cannot be returned quickly and could result in an eventual loss of supply to water customers, the City will enact secondary actions including notifying water customers of the supply interruption using the same information and procedures used for localized water losses and water main failures which include recommendations to store water and boil tap water if appropriate, use of the City’s water storage reservoirs to provide potable water directly to water customers and/or identification of a location where emergency water supplies can be obtained by customers.

Earthquake/ Fault
Rupture/ Liquefaction
 The first action in the event of an earthquake is to perform a system audit to determine the extent of damage to the City’s water infrastructure and treatment processes.
 If the earthquake results in an eventual loss of supply to water customers, the City will enact secondary actions including notifying water customers of the supply interruption using the same information and procedures used for localized water losses and water main failures which include recommendations to store water and boil tap water if appropriate, use of City of Grover Beach Water Shortage Contingency Plan December 2021

 Within two hours of initial earthquake, the Planning Section Chief will request the Situation and Resource Unit leaders to prepare a report on the best available damage information.
 Based on the report, the command staff will evaluate information and discuss strategies for action
 For water disruptions, Public Works will coordinate Citywide survey of damage to water systems.
 If water pipes are broken, shut off the main valve which brings water into the house.
 If water is off, emergency water may be obtained from water heaters.  Mission includes identifying areas of disruption, estimating repair times, coordinating repairs and coordinating restoration of service with Operations Section at Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
Hazardous Materials Spill
 When potential hazardous emergency occurs, any person should contact 911  Person should provide location of incident, nature of problem, known information regarding hazardous material, name and call back number of reporting party
 Upon the Incident Commander’s (I.C.) confirmation, the Public  Treat all materials as hazardous until identified and confirmed  Stay uphill and up‐wind of material and adjusting as necessary.  Establish Exclusion Zone and Hazard Reduction Zone
 Establish site for Command Post in the Support Zone at safest edge of Hazard Reduction Zone
 Establish communications and liaison with other first responding agencies  Insure that staging areas and a secure perimeter isolating the zones are established
 Insure compliance with standing hazardous material safety orders by all emergency personnel
 Identify true nature of hazardous material safety, using Attachment II. G, “Hazardous Material Situation Report”
 Assess immediate rescue, medical, fire suppression, temporary containment and evacuation needs within current resource and safety capabilities.  Upon confirmation that material is hazardous, contact CHP dispatcher to make mandatory notifications
 Request additional resources that may be needed such as: additional city units, County Hazardous Materials Team, Chemist, mutual aid units, etc.

4.2 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
The City’s water service area covers approximately 2.3 square miles. The water system is comprised of approximately 48 miles of pipeline, three storage reservoirs, one pumping station, and 5,278 metered connections. The City’s well system consists of four wells and chlorination facilities. The City topography varies from sea level to greater than 200 feet above mean sea level.

City of Grover Beach Water Shortage Contingency Plan December 2021

Page | 4‐3
The County of San Luis Obispo developed a Multi‐Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (Hazard Plan), which evaluated seismic risk within the City’s service area. The following sections provide a summary of the general findings from the Hazard Plan with respect to potential impacts from earthquakes, faults, and liquefaction within the City’s service area.

4.2.1 Faults, Earthquakes, and Liquefaction
Per the Hazard Plan, the following provides a description of major faults within the County of San Luis Obispo:

The California Geological Survey (CGS) is charged with recording and mapping faults throughout California. The Alquist‐Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning (AP) Act was passed into law following the destructive February 9, 1971

6.6 San Fernando earthquake. The AP Act provides a mechanism for reducing losses from surface fault rupture on a statewide basis. The intent of the AP Act isto insure public safety by prohibiting the siting of moststructures for human occupancy on or near active faults that constitute a potential hazard to structures from surface faulting or fault creep. Fault zoning is continually updated and reviewed by CGS and it is likely that other faults in addition to those currently listed by CGS will be added to the list in the future. The primary active faults identified by the AP Act in the County include the San Andreas, San Simeon‐Hosgri, and Los Osos faults.

San Andreas Fault: The San Andreas is a historically active fault thought to be capable of an earthquake up to and above the 8.0 magnitude range and generally runs along the eastern county border. It enters the County near the Cholame area, passes through the Carrizo Plain, and exits the county near Maricopa. As it passes through the County, three relatively distinct portions of the fault have separate potentials for causing a damaging earthquake. The portion of the fault that runs from Monterey County into San Luis Obispo County to an area near Cholame has commonly been known as the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault system.

That portion of the fault system is the one that has an approximate 5.6 – 6.0 magnitude earthquake from time to time. A segment of the system that runs from approximately the Cholame area to about the northern edge of the Carrizo Plain area has been commonly known as the Cholame segment. The portion running from the northern Carrizo Plain area and out of the County into Kern County has been commonly known as the Carrizo segment.

It is believed that in 1857 a large (possible 7.8 or larger) earthquake occurred on the San Andreas fault that possibly originated in the Parkfield area and stretched along the fault to the area near San Bernardino. This is perhaps an illustration of the potential for the San Andreas to cause a very powerful earthquake and the need to be prepared.

A major earthquake along any section of the San Andreas Fault could result in serious damage within San Luis Obispo County. An earthquake of 8.0 or greater magnitude would result in severe ground motion and could cause damage throughout the County.

With respect to the City, the only mapped fault is the potentially active Wilmar Avenue fault described below based on the Hazard Plan:

The Wilmar Avenue fault is exposed in the sea cliff near Pismo Beach and the buried trace of the fault is inferred to strike northwest‐southeast generally along a portion of the northern city limits for Grover Beach. The Wilmar Avenue fault is considered potentially active and presents a moderate fault rupture hazard to the City. Further studies to evaluate the activity of the fault are warranted, prior to placing structures near the mapped fault traces.

In addition, the Hazard Plan also provides a description of liquefaction susceptibility specifically within the City:

The areas of Grover Beach that have a high potential to be underlain by potentially liquefiable sediments are those areas underlain by beach and young alluvium. High ground water levels can be expected near the Pacific Ocean and adjacent to Meadow Creek. Site specific studies are needed to evaluate if a geologic unit actually contains potentially liquefiable materials, and if they require mitigation for development.

Figure 4‐1 provides an overview of the primary active earthquake fault lines described, Figure 4‐2 provides an overview of ground shaking potential across the County, and Figure 4‐3 provides an overview of liquefaction susceptibility.

Relevant sections of the Hazard Plan are included as Appendix B.

4.2.2 Seismic Risk
Portions of the City are underlain by layers of unconsolidated sand and young alluvium which have a high potential to become liquefied during ground shaking events. The HMP identified 23 of the City’s facilities to be critical facilities. 12 critical facilitiesfall within Liquefaction Risk Areas. Overall, residential properties are at the greatest risk of liquefaction.

4.2.3 Mitigation
In the event of a system disruption to existing water supplies from an earthquake, fault rupture, or liquefaction response actions are described in City’s emergency response plan included in Appendix B.

CHAPTER 5 SHORTAGE RESPONSE EFFECTIVENESS
All watershortage response actions are intended to reduce the water demand below the available watersupply, during a water shortage event. To ensure that all water response actions are effective in reducing the demand to the level necessary, the City will routinely monitor water production levels monthly. If the shortage response actions are not effective in reducing water consumption to the required level, the City will refine and update the water shortage response actions until effective.

5.1 Communication Protocols
The City will inform the public, and the necessary local, regional, and state government entities regarding any current or predicted water shortages based on the results of the Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(5). The City will also notify all necessary entities of any shortage response actions mandated in response to the Annual Assessment.

In the event of a watershortage due to an emergency the City will follow emergency communication protocols outlined in the Emergency Response Plan as described by Section 4.1.

CHAPTER 6 COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT

6.1 Compliance and Enforcement
The following compliance and enforcement actions to be taken by the City under a declared water shortage condition were developed in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(6).

The WSCP imposes penalties at various shortage stages including house call warnings and disconnection. Any fines or penalties under the WSCP are subject to the provisions of the City’s Mandatory Water Conservation Ordinance No. 21‐

02. Table 6‐1 summarizes the compliance measures that the City may implement during a declared water shortage.

The City Council has determined that the surcharges listed below reasonably compensate the City and its customers for all loss of water and other damages incurred and as will foster water conservation withing the service area. The City will implement the following penalties and charges for excessive water use within its service areas:

Table 6‐1: Excessive Water Use Penalties and Charges
Shortage
Level Violation Notices and Surcharges
2‐6 1st Imposition of increasingly significant penalties so as to create a meaningful incentive to reduce water use.
2‐6 2nd
Any person who knowingly and willfully violates the provisions in the City’s Municipal code is will be charged with an infraction in accordance with subsection 1204. An infraction under the provisions of the Code shall be punishable by (1) a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first violation; (2) a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200.00) for a second violation of the same provision within one year of the date of the first violation; (3) a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) for a third or subsequent violation of the same provision within one year of the date of the first violation.

It should be noted that for the purposes of the UWMP, a first violation will receive a warning and a second violation will be treated as the first violation subject to penalty.
4‐6 3rd
A third orsubsequent violation of the same provision within one year of the date of the first violation may be charged as a misdemeanor and may result in the installation of a flow restriction device or disconnection of the customer’s property from the City’s waterservice system at the customer’s cost. In addition to any penalties, misdemeanor criminal prosecution and the installation of a water flow restrictor, during a Water Shortage Emergency the Director may disconnect a customer’s water service for willful violations of mandatory restrictions and regulations in the City’s Municipal Code. 4‐6 4th and Subsequent
A person or entity that as a result of violations of Municipal Code has a flow restrictor installed or water service disconnected is responsible for payment of charges for installing and/or removing the flow‐restricting device and for disconnecting and/or reconnecting service in accordance with the City’s fee schedule then in effect. The charge for installing and/or removing any flow restricting device must be paid before the device is removed. Nonpayment will be subject to the same remedies as nonpayment of basic water rates.

City of Grover Beach Water Shortage Contingency Plan December 2021

6.2 Legal Authorities
The City is governed by a five (5) member City Council Members. The Mayor is directly elected for a two‐year term and the office of Council Members is a four‐year term. The City Council has the legal authority to implement and enforce any and all of the water shortage response actions of this WSCP. Additionally, the City has the legal authority to enact civil citations and penalties in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code and most recent ordinance and resolution update.

In the event of a water shortage emergency where the ordinary demands and requirements of the City’s customers cannot be satisfied without depleting the City’s water supply to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection the City’s Council Members shall declare a water shortage emergency and implement and enforce the corresponding water shortage response actions in accordance with CWC Division 1, §350.

If the City Council Members declare a water shortage emergency, the City shall coordinate with the County of San Luis Obispo to issue a proclamation of a local emergency in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(7)(D).

6.3 Financial Consequences of WSCP Activation
The majority of operating costs for most water agencies are fixed rather than a function of the amount of water sold.

As a result, when significant conservation programs are undertaken, it is frequently necessary to raise water rates because the revenue generated is based on lower total consumption while the revenue required to operate and maintain the water system is basically fixed. The City may choose to adopt a drought water rate structure via a Proposition 218 process for Stages 4 and higher. The City’s WSCP describes that to counteract the financial impact of conservation during a declared water shortage.

6.4 Monitoring and Reporting
The City will monitor, analyze, and report on water production and use data in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(9).

All of the City’s customer connections are metered. Meter classes include single‐family residential, multi‐family residential, mixed use, commercial, industrial, and landscape. Meters are manually read on a monthly basis.

Under all water supply conditions, potable water production figures are recorded daily by Water Treatment Operators.

Totals are reported weekly to the Director of Public Works. The Director of Public Works incorporates the information into a monthly water supply /demand report to the City Council.

During a Stage 1 or Stage 2 watershortage, the Director of Public Works comparesthe monthly production to the target monthly production to verify that the reduction goal is being met. The Director of Public Works presents monthly reports to the City Council. If reduction goals are not met, the Director of Public Works will notify the City Council so that corrective action can be taken.

During a Stage 3 water shortage or Stage 4, the procedure listed above are followed, with the addition of a bi‐monthly production report to the City Council.

During a Stage 5, 6, or an emergency event, reports will also be provided weekly to the City Council. During emergency shortages, production figures are reported to the Director of Public Works regularly or as needed.

CHAPTER 7 WSCP REFINEMENT, ADOPTION AND SUBMITTAL

7.1 WSCP Refinement Procedures
The WSCP is intended to implement water shortage mitigation strategies that can quickly and effectively reduce water demand during a water shortage event in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(10). The water shortage response actions listed in Table 3‐2 will be routinely monitored as outlined above. If shortage response actions are not effective in meeting the required water use reduction the City Council will have the ability to amend the WSCP as deemed necessary.

7.1.1 Special Water Feature Distinction
The City specifically distinguishes between “Decorative Water Features” and all other water features. In the event of a water shortage potable water use for decorative water features such as fountains is prohibited, and only re‐circulated water can be used to operate ornamental fountains or other decorative water features.

7.2 Plan Adoption, Submittal and Availability
The Notice of the public hearing, held during the November 2021 City Council meeting at City’s office, was sent to the City of Arroyo Grande, City of Pismo Beach, Oceano Community Services District and County of San Luis Obispo on December 2021, in accordance with CWC §10632(a)(c).

Community Profile
C.1.1 Mitigation Planning History and 2019 Process
This annex was created during the development of the 2019 San Luis Obispo County Hazard Mitigation Plan update. This Jurisdictional Annex builds upon the previous version of the Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for the cities of Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande as well as the Lucia Mar Unified School District and South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District completed in December 2014 and approved by FEMA in December 2015; that previous mitigation plan was not incorporated into the City’s General Plan, as this updated mitigation plan will be. The City has used the previous mitigation plan as a basis for the Emergency Operations Plan. A review of jurisdictional priorities found no significant changes in priorities since the last update.

The City’s Local Planning Team (LPT) held responsibility for implementation and maintenance of the plan; members are noted below. The Police Chief for Grover Beach Police is responsible for updating the plan.

C.1.2 Geography and Climate
The City of Grover Beach is a coastal community located in the south county area of San Luis Obispo County.

Grover Beach has wide sandy beaches with coastal dunes and is a gateway to Pismo State Beach and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreational Area. According to the City’s 2015 LHMP, Grover Beach has an average high temperature (July) of 70°F and low temperature of 62°F (January). The jurisdiction receives 17.1 inches of rainfall in an average year. While the average temperature is relatively temperate, summer and winter months bring unique weather patterns to the region. Figure C.1 displays a map and the location within San Luis Obispo County of the City of Grover Beach planning area.

C.1.3 History
On August 1, 1887 Dwight William Grover founded the Town of Grover after purchasing the land for $22,982.20 in gold from John Michael Price, the founder of Pismo Beach. Grover promoted his town as “the place where the tide lands and the rails meet” and had a vision of a community that had a hotel and a train station near the beach. Grover and his partner George Gates laid out a street grid pattern and promoted the community as Grover City, the “grandest summer and winter seaside resort on the Pacific Coast.” Development didn’t flourish in Grover City until 1935 when Horace V. Bagwell bought 1,100 acres and advertised Grover City as the “home of the average man” with land prices affordable to the working man. People and development began to happen and by the mid-1940’s the first store opened in Grover City followed by the first post office. The Fair Oaks Fire District and the Grover City Water District were formed in 1949 and supported a boom in population throughout the 1950’s. On December 21, 1959 the people of Grover City voted to incorporate and become the City of Grover City. In 1992, the City had become more established and the residents of Grover City decided to rename the community to “Grover Beach”. By 1996 the train station Dwight William Grover dreamed of became a reality when Amtrak began rail service at a newly constructed Grover Beach Train Station.

Hazard Identification and Summary
The Grover Beach Planning Team identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to Grover Beach (see Table C.5). There are no hazards that are unique to Grover Beach. The overall hazard significance takes into account the geographic area, probability and magnitude as a way to identify priority hazards for mitigation purposes. This is discussed further in the Vulnerability Assessment Section.

Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess Grover Beach’s vulnerability separate from that of the County as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 5.3 Risk Assessment in the Base 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 was based of the previous LHMP for the City. A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Guide and associated worksheets was distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the 2019 update process. 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 the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.

Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the Base Plan (See Table

5.2). However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional annex may vary slightly due to specific hazard risk and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction. 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 Grover Beach’s Planning Team member input from the Data Collection Guide and the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Chapter 5 of the Base Plan), which included a more detailed qualitative analysis with best available data.

The hazard summaries in Table C.5 reflect the hazards that could potentially affect the City. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is located in C.3.2 Estimating Potential Losses. Based on this analysis, the priority hazard (High Significance) for mitigation is earthquake. Those of Medium or High significance for the City of Grover Beach are identified below. • Drought and Water Shortage
• Earthquake
Other Hazards
Hazards assigned a significance rating of Low or 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. Those hazards include agricultural hazards, biological agents, adverse weather hazards, wildfires, and landslides.

C.3.1 Assets at Risk
This section considers Grover Beach’s assets at risk, including values at risk, critical facilities and infrastructure, historic assets, economic assets, and growth and development trends.

Values at Risk
The following data on property exposure is derived from the San Luis Obispo County 2019 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline to overall values in the City as the 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

Annex C: City of Grover Beach

that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss. Table C.6 shows the exposure of properties (e.g., the values at risk) broken down by property type for the City of Grover Beach.

Natural resources are important to include in benefit-cost analyses for future projects and may be used to leverage additional funding for projects that also contribute to community goals for protecting sensitive natural resources. The City of Grover Beach has designated areas on the coast as Coastal Open Space Zone; according to the City of Grover Beach Local Coastal Program (2014) this zone is designed to protect and preserve sensitive natural areas including but not limited to those containing significant habitat areas, rare or endangered plant and animal species, and erosion-prone lands. Awareness of natural assets and designated natural areas can lead to opportunities for meeting multiple objectives. For instance, protecting wetlands areas protects sensitive habitat as well as attenuates and stores floodwaters.

Economic Assets
Tourism and the industries that support tourists and tourism activities are one of the greatest economic assets in the City of Grover Beach. Additionally, the commercial cannabis industry has taken off and has become a critical economic asset for the City in terms of tax revenue. The City is located close to multiple destinations including Pismo State Beach, Oceano Dunes State Recreation Area, and the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge.

The HMPC reviewed the economic strengths and competitive advantages listed in the City of Grover Beach Final Economic Development Strategy (April 11, 2017), and identified the following:

Annex C: City of Grover Beach

San Luis Obispo County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Grover Beach | February 2020 Annex C.13
• Grover Beach is one of the few areas within the Southern SLO County area that has undeveloped industrial land, however these properties are quickly transforming into developed industrial and commercial holdings. • Growth in commercial cannabis. The commercial cannabis industry has played a major role in the last few years in redeveloping properties, as well as new industrial construction within the undeveloped industrial zone. The City will continue to be a future “synergy” location for commercial cannabis within San Luis Obispo County with testing labs, manufacturing, warehousing, and retail sales of commercial cannabis. • Transient occupancy tax revenue recovered quickly following the Great Recession. The development of additional lodging facilities including the Grover Beach Lodge, the Northeast Grover Beach Mixed-Use Development, and 950 El Camino Real. Development of these hotels will provide Grover Beach with an opportunity to increase tourism to the community.
• Higher quality retail and food service establishments have entered the market and increased the City’s regional draw
• Grover Beach has a reputation as a business-friendly community with a local government that is fairly easy to work with, compared to other communities.

C.3.2 Estimating Potential Losses
Note: This section details vulnerability to specific hazards of high or medium significance, where quantifiable, and/or where (according to Planning Team member input) it differs from that of the overall County.

Table C.6 above shows Grover Beach’s exposure to hazards in terms of number and value of structures. San Luis Obispo 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.

Impacts of past events and vulnerability to specific hazards are further discussed below. (See Section 5.1 for more detailed information about these hazards and their impacts on San Luis Obispo County as a whole.) Dam Incidents
The Lopez Dam, a high hazard earthen dam located upstream from the community, poses the greatest risk to Grover Beach if an incident was to occur. Failure of the Lopez Dam would follow the Arroyo Grande Creek in a westerly direction approximately 3,000 feet in each direction of the centerline of the creek channel. A total of 5,319 persons and 2,392 properties would be inundated in the City of Grover Beach if the Lopez Dam was to fail.

Note that the Lopez Dam inundation mapping used to arrive at this information came from the County of San Luis Obispo’s Planning & Building/GIS Departments.

A majority of properties at risk are residential (2,119 properties) and have a combined value of $539,526,282 (refer to Table C.8 below). Refer to the Critical Facilities in the Lopez Dam Inundation Area, by Type of Facility table, in the Base Plan for details on the type of various types of critical facilities at risk. A failure of the Lopez Dam would also affect Highway 101 impeding or reducing flows of goods, people and resources into and out of Grover Beach and potentially impacting the entire region. There have been no past dam incidents or failures in the jurisdiction of the City of Grover Beach. Refer to the Dam Incidents Section in Chapter 5 of the Base Plan for additional discussion on the potential impacts of dam incidents in the County.

This information was derived from the most recent dam inundation mapping, parcel, and critical facility data available to the County of San Luis Obispo. The Grover Beach planning team added the following comments related to dam failure and inundation hazards:

Page 85 of 756 ends

Annex C: City of Grover Beach

San Luis Obispo County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Grover Beach | February 2020 Annex C.14
• Lopez Dam failure would result in overtopping of Arroyo Grande Creek which would cause a backwater condition in Meadow Creek, primarily along Highway 1 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. • There are two facilities deemed critical to the City which are at risk from this flooding: The Train Station and the Front Street Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. However, neither of these was originally included in the countywide critical facility dataset and as such were not mapped or included in tables or summary results. • Grover Beach would be surrounded by flood waters and Highway 101 would be impassible at Oak Park Boulevard if the Lopez Dam were to cause inundation downstream, which would limit ingress/egress to Highway 101 to the northwest and significantly restrict access by emergency services from outside the city.

Drought and Water Shortage
The City of Grover Beach’s main water supplies are from surface water and groundwater. The surface water supply source is Lake Lopez or the Lopez Project, which is also the main supply for the other communities in the Five Cities Area. Grover Beach has an entitlement of 800 acre-feet per year (afy) from the Lopez Project. Grover Beach also receives a portion of its water supply (1,198 afy) from the Arroyo Grande Plain of the Tri-Cities Mesa Subbasin of the Santa Maria Valley Groundwater Basin which also supplies water for the cities of Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach and the Oceano CSD. A majority of water consumption is by residential properties. According the San Luis Obispo Council of Government (COG) report, 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County (2017), the figure below shows the projected water demand in the City of Grover Beach from 2015 to 2030. The City of Grover Beach’s population is not expected to grow dramatically by 2035 and as a result the water demand is not projected to increase over the next 20 to 30 years.

Figure C.7 Projected Water Demand in Grover Beach, 2015 to 2030 Source: 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for San Luis Obispo County, San Luis Obispo Council of Governments and Beacon Economics, June 2017 Severe drought events in recent years have caused concerns on the impact on the City’s limited water supply. In 2006 the City of Grover Beach adopted the Water Shortage Contingency Plan which defines what constitutes a recommendation for a water shortage proclamation, provides specific triggers for actions stages and designated responsibilities of City Council and Departments. The Grover Beach City Council annually reviews rainfall and other information on water amounts, and determines the appropriate actions to take. In 2014, with the below average rainfall and low storage levels in Lopez Lake, City Council determined the City’s water supplies were headed towards a condition of severe water shortage. As a result, on June 16, 2014 the City Council declared a Stage III Water Shortage and mandatory water conservation measures. The City had previously been under a Stage II Declaration for two years that placed voluntary prohibitions on water usage. The Declaration required those voluntary prohibitions become mandatory and all customers to reduce their water usage by 10 percent.

Stage III also gave the City the authority to impose penalties for failure to comply with water reduction or use prohibitions.

The returned Data Collection Guide from the City of Grover Beach Planning Team noted that due to the region’s water supply being served by a mix of reservoir and pumped well water, the state-wide drought in California has led to regional impacts, including watering restrictions that according to the Planning Team has led to landscaping on many properties to die, increasing the risk of wildfire for some properties.

Earthquake
The City of Grover Beach is vulnerable to various types of seismic hazards including fault rupture, groundshaking and liquefaction. The Wilmar Avenue fault is the only mapped fault near the City of Grover Beach. The fault runs along the northern portion of the City limits. The Wilmar Avenue fault is exposed in the sea cliff near Pismo Beach and buried portions are generally aligned along the Highway 101. The fault is considered potentially active and a moderate fault rupture hazard to the City of Grover Beach.

In addition to the Wilmar Avenue fault there are a number of active and potentially active faults in proximity of the Grover Beach that are capable of producing strong groundshaking within the City limits. According to the Technical Background Report of the County Safety Element (1999), the San Andreas fault and the offshore Hosgri fault present the most likely sources of groundshaking for Grover Beach. The following table from the Technical Background Report and recreated for the 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan, show the potential sources of groundshaking and approximate distance from Grover Beach.

Flood
The City of Grover Beach suffers from regular flooding in isolated areas. Flooding generally occurs after heavy rainfall events and overtopping of creeks and rivers. The Arroyo Grande Creek poses a risk of overtopping and causes Meadow Creek to flood along the western and northern portions of the City. Flooding along Meadow Creek has caused roads to be blocked by flood waters, causing difficulties in access to and egress from portions of the City. According to the City’s Safety Element, northern and western portions of the City adjacent to Meadow Creek are at the greatest risk of being impacted by a 100-year flood. The areas at risk of flooding in the northern portions of the City are isolated to an area south of U.S. 101 and north of Nacimiento Avenue where a mobile home subdivision is located. The South Grover Beach and West Grover Beach neighborhoods are also reported to experience flooding issues. Flooding in the western portion of the City is isolated to areas west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and areas just east of the railroad tracks in the southwest corner of the City where drainage is trapped by the railroad grade.

The City’s 2015 LHMP notes two properties located below street level that are subject to local flooding issues.

One parcel located at South 5th Street and Manhattan Avenue is subject to flooding from a 50-year storm event when sandbags are not used or if cars are parked on the street. The second parcel is located at 6th Street and Mentone Avenue is subject to a 75-100-year storm event, but after an asphalt berm was constructed flooding was alleviated under storms of lesser magnitude. Refer to the Flood Section in the Base Plan for further information on the areas of that are at risk of flooding as well as past flood events that have impacted the City of Grover Beach.

Values at Risk
A flood vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2019 update, following the methodology described in Section 5 of the Base Plan. Table C.11 and Table C.12 summarize the values at risk in the City’s 100-year and 500-year floodplain, respectively. These tables also detail loss estimates for each flood.

City of Grover Beach | February 2020 Annex C.22
Based on this analysis, the City of Grover Beach has significant assets at risk to the 100-year and greater floods.

There are 33 improved parcels located within the 100-year floodplain for a total value of over $4 million. An additional 4 improved parcels valued at $374,130 fall within the 500-year floodplain.

Applying the 25 percent damage factor as previously described in Section 5 of the Base Plan, there is a 1 percent chance in any given year of a 100-year flood causing roughly $1 million in damage in the City of Grover Beach, and a 0.2 percent chance in any given year of a 500-year flood causing $1,225,285 in damages (combined damage from both floods). The tables above show the properties at risk to flooding in the City of Grover Beach in relation to the mapped floodplain, based on the parcels that have improvements and parcel centroids that intersect the flood hazard areas.

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.

Population at Risk
Using parcel data from the County and 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 average number of persons per household (2.47). The following are at risk to flooding in the City of Grover Beach:
• 100-year flood— 68 people
• 500-year flood— 3 people
• Total flood— 71 people
Insurance Coverage, Claims Paid, and Repetitive Losses
The City of Grover Beach joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on August 1, 1984. NFIP Insurance data indicates that as of April 18, 2019, there were 36 flood insurance policies in force in the City with $9,940,700 of coverage. All 36 policies were residential (32 for single-family homes, 2 for 2-4-unit homes and 2 for all other residential). There are 8 polices in A01-30 & AE zones and no policies in A zones. The remaining 28 are in B, C, and X zones.

There have been 2 historical claims for flood losses totaling $14,881.56. Both claims were for residential properties (1 single family and 1 2-4 family) and were in B, C or X zones; According to the FEMA Community Information System accessed 4/18/2019 there are no Repetitive Loss or Severe Repetitive Loss properties located in the jurisdiction.

Critical Facilities at Risk
Critical facilities are those community components that are most needed to withstand the impacts of disaster as previously described. Based on GIS analysis of the provided critical facility dataset by the County of San Luis Obispo combined with the HIFLD dataset, there are no critical facilities at risk of flooding in a 100-year or 500- year storm event. However, the Planning Team notes that the City’s Train Station as well as the Nacimiento Sanitary Sewer Lift Station (and possibly other critical facilities not included in the countywide dataset used for analysis) should be at risk of flooding of the 100-year event, as they fall within the AE special flood hazard areas.

Coastal Storm/Coastal Erosion/Sea Level Rise
The City of Grover Beach is characterized by its sandy beaches backed by low sand dunes covered with dense vegetation. The sandy beaches provide structures and development with moderate protection from storm

Page 94 of 756 ends

Annex C: City of Grover Beach
San Luis Obispo County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Grover Beach | February 2020 Annex C.23
waves, although active erosion of beaches and dunes currently impacts low-lying coastal recreation uses (i.e. golf course), commercial, and residential (i.e. mobile homes) structures. The City has been impacted by storm wave hazards in the past; during a winter storm in 1983, timber beach access ramps were damaged by storm waves.

Refer to Section 5 of the Base Plan for more information on the risk that coastal hazards pose to San Luis Obispo County and the City of Grover Beach.

As part of the 2019 HMP planning effort, a sea level rise risk assessment was completed to determine how sea level rise may affect coastal jurisdictions and critical facilities and how coastal flooding might be exacerbated in the future. Table C.13 and Table C.14 summarize the properties at risk of inundation by sea level rise and sea level rise combined with a 1% annual chance coastal flood. The area of inundation by sea level rise and sea level rise combined with the 1% coastal flood are shown in Figure C.9 and Figure C.10, respectively. No critical facilities were determined to be at risk in the sea-level rise scenarios. See Section 5.3.4 Coastal Storm/Coastal Erosion/Sea Level Rise in the base plan for more details on the scenarios and data sources used for this analysis.

Tsunami and Seiche
Tsunami inundation poses a risk to all coastal communities in the County of San Luis Obispo. Offshore faults and related seismic activity could cause a tsunami event off the coast of Grover Beach, even if the faults are thousands of miles away. Grover Beach’s wide beaches and coastal dunes in general provide protection from coastal hazards, although the low-lying areas where Meadow Creek meets the ocean is considered to be at moderate risk of tsunami hazards. Based on the GIS analysis there is one critical facility, a water treatment facility, that is at risk of tsunami inundation. According to the City’s 2015 LHMP the areas shown on Figure C.8 are vulnerable to tsunami hazards.

The area along Highway 1 is also expected to be in the tsunami inundation zone, which would have cascading impacts on people being able to evacuate. The LPT noted that Grover Beach swells with beachgoing tourists including an estimated 10,000 to 40,000 visitors to the Oceano Dune State Park on a busy summer weekend or holiday; these visitors may not be familiar with the risk posed by tsunamis, leading them to ignore warnings.

Refer to Section 5 of the Base Plan for additional information related to the past tsunami events and analysis on future vulnerability.

Human Caused: Hazardous Materials
The Cal OES Warning Center reports 21 hazardous materials incidents in the City of Grover Beach from 1994 through October 24, 2018; as noted in Section 5.3.13 of the county plan, this likely excludes a large number of unreported minor spills. This constitutes 1% of the hazardous materials incidents reported countywide during the same time frame and averages out to roughly 0.8 incidents per year. As noted in Section 5.3.13, only around 6% of reported hazardous materials incidents result in injuries, fatalities, or evacuations. As shown in Base Plan there are no significant hazardous materials facilities located in the City. However, Grover Beach sits within the Emergency Planning Zone for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

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 Wood 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 Grover Beach’s capabilities are summarized below.

C.4.4 Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capabilities assessment, the City of Grover Beach has several existing mechanisms in place that already help to mitigate hazards. In Grover Beach’s 2015 LHMP the City conducted a “self-assessment of capability” in which they rated (limited to high) the degree of capability they believed the community had. The City noted having a high degree of capability for planning and regulatory capabilities and political capability, but a moderate rating for their administrative, technical, and fiscal capabilities. This may be an opportunity for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect 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 Grover Beach will lead to more informed staff members who can better communicate this information to the public.

Mitigation Strategy
C.5.1 Mitigation Goals and Objectives
During the 2019 Planning Process the Grover Beach Planning Team reviewed the mitigation goals and objectives from the 2015 LHMP and determined the existing number and intent of the goals and objectives continue to be appropriate, and no revisions or additions were necessary. The City of Grover Beach’s 2019 hazard mitigation goals and objectives are the following:

Goal 1. Minimize the level of damages and losses due to earthquake.

Objective 1.a - Develop a comprehensive approach to reducing the level of damage and losses due to earthquakes.

Objective 1.b – Perform a safety review of all current City structures and facilities, paying close attention to disaster proofing all facilities. Convene a group of department heads to prioritize the needs and research funding strategies.

Objective 1.c – Develop disaster preparedness caches of supplies, tools, and equipment for use by City employees, so that they may continue to perform their duties during a major emergency.

Goal 2. Minimize the level of damage and losses due to flooding.

Objective 2.a – Research and identify flooding vulnerability within the City of Grover Beach.

Goal 3. Minimize the level of damage and losses to people due to wildland and structure fires.

Objective 3.a – Educate the public about wildland and structure fire danger.

Goal 4. Minimize the level of damage and losses to people and surrounding areas due to tsunami events and increase understanding and response to tsunamis.

Objective 4.a – Increase the understanding and response to tsunamis within the community by working with Federal and State agencies to better understand and prepare for the hazards of tsunamis, and improve the ability to respond to tsunami warnings provided by NOAA’s West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.

Goal 5. Minimize the potential for dam failure and the impacts from such incidents.

Objective 5.a – Work with regional partners to reduce the negative impact on the community as a result of a dam incident or failure through proper planning and infrastructure maintenance and improvement.

Objective 5.b – Develop a public outreach program to educate residents and businesses in the dam failure inundation areas on their responsibilities and emergency preparedness.

Page 103 of 756 ends

Annex C: City of Grover Beach
San Luis Obispo County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Grover Beach | February 2020 Annex C.32
Objective 5.c – Develop a dam failure emergency response plan.

Objective 5.d – Develop a hazard alert system to allow the city and regional partners to contact and alert our residents and businesses about the possibility of a dam failure and flooding caused by a dam failure.

Continued Compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program The City has been an NFIP participating community since 1984. In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the NFIP. This includes ongoing activities such as enforcing local floodplain development regulations, including issuing permits for appropriate development in Special Flood Hazard Areas and ensuring that this development is mitigated in accordance with the regulations. This will also include periodic reviews of the floodplain ordinance to ensure that it is clear and up to date and reflects new or revised flood hazard mapping.

C.5.2 Completed 2015 Mitigation Actions
Grover Beach has not completed any of the mitigation actions from the 2015 LHMP, although of Grover Beach’s thirteen mitigation actions, nine (9) are implemented annually and two (2) are in progress to be completed.

These actions that are implemented annually help to reduce vulnerability to hazards and increase local capability to implement additional mitigation actions.

C.5.3 Mitigation Actions
The planning team for the City of Grover Beach identified and prioritized the following mitigation actions based on the risk assessment. Background information and information on how each action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, potential funding, estimated cost, and timeline, are also included. Actions were prioritized using the process described in Section 7.2.1 of the Base Plan.

Actions with an ‘*’ are those that mitigate losses to future development.

Implementation and Maintenance
Moving forward, the City will use the mitigation action table in the previous section to track progress on implementation of each project. As illustrated in Section 7.3.1 of the Base Plan, much progress has been made since the plan was originally developed. Implementation of the plan overall is discussed in Section 8 in the Base Plan.

C.6.1 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 designing and implementing the City’s capital improvement projects, and the Planning and Building Divisions within the Community 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 described in Section 8 Implementation and Monitoring, the HMPC representatives from Grover Beach 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.

C.6.2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Updating the Plan
The City will follow the procedures to monitor, review, and update this plan in accordance with San Luis Obispo County as outlined in Section 8 of the Base Plan. The City will continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 8.3 of the Base Plan. The Chief of Police will be responsible for representing the City in the County HMPC, and for coordination with City staff and departments during plan updates. The City realizes it is important to review the plan regularly and update it every five years in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements as well as other State of California requirements.

Subject: City of Grover Beach Urban Water Management Plan Update – 60 Day Notification Letter Dear Mr. Horton:

The City of Grover Beach (City) is currently in the process of reviewing and updating its Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the 2020 cycle. The City is also preparing a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), a detailed proposal for the City’s actions in the event of a water shortage condition. The Department of Water Resources requires water suppliers to update their UWMP every five years. Among other things, the UWMP will evaluate current and projected water supplies and demands within the City’s service area over a 20-year planning horizon.

The City encourages local agencies, the public, and other interested parties in its service area to participate in the update process. If necessary, a stakeholder workshop may be scheduled in November 2021 to review the administrative draft. The City plans to make a copy of the draft 2020 UWMP and WSCP available for public review by October 2021. At that time, the plans will be available for review on the City’s website, https://www.grover.org/.

The City of Grover Beach will review and take action on the 2020 UWMP and WSCP at its December City Council Meeting on December 13, 2021 at 6:00 PM at the Council Chamber. Members of the public are welcome to attend. Thank you for your involvement with the City’s 2020 UWMP and WSCP. Please send comments to:
