Report to City Council
Meeting Date: January 19, 2022
Title: 2022 HOME Program Application Resolution
Contact Information: Alison Schmidt, Acting Chief Building Official Location: City Wide
Background: Periodically the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development publishes Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA’s) alerting agencies that they have funds available for certain programs and projects. In early December, we were notified that the HOME program NOFA was released and there is approximately $72 million in funds available.

The HOME program generally offers funding for multi-family housing projects, subdivision development projects, and program activities such as first time homebuyer gap assistance, owner occupied rehabilitation (OOR), and tenant based rental assistance.

Staff is currently working on an application for $300,000 to operate the OOR program. At this time we do not have any grant funding available to operate our program. This application and funding would allow us to open our program back up and assist our low income homeowners in repairing their homes to meet minimum housing standards for health and safety. We have historically offered zero percent interest rates loans, with 30 year deferred payments. We intend to maintain these same standards as the program allows.

Applications are competitive, and are due March 10, 2022. At the January 5, 2022 Council meeting, the NOFA was provided to Council for review. This resolution is required as part of the application for submittal.

Fiscal Impacts: Grant of $300,000 to operate our Owner Occupied Rehabilitation (OOR) Program. No matching funds required.

Recommendation: Adopt resolution authorizing the submittal of an application for HOME Grant Funds from the State Department of Housing and Community Development and the execution of agreements and documents necessary to participate in the HOME program.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: January 19, 2022
Title: Emergency Repair of Screening Unit at Wastewater Treatment Plant Contact Information: Ron Walker, Public Works Director
Background: The "headworks" of a wastewater treatment plant is the initial stage of a complex process. This process reduces the level of pollutants in the incoming domestic wastewater to a level that will allow the treated wastewater or effluent to be discharged into the constructed agriculture drain.

A bar screen is contained within the headworks structure. A bar screen is a filter system designed to remove objects such as rags, wipes, and plastics from wastewater and protect pumps from clogging. It is the first level of filtration used by wastewater treatment plants, and if it is non-functioning the downstream processes will become clogged resulting in costly maintenance and repairs.

The bar screen at the City's wastewater treatment plant was not updated during the last plant update and is now in need of a complete overhaul. City staff have contacted the manufacturer and secured a quote for an overhaul which needs to be performed as soon as possible so downstream processes are not negatively impacted.

Attached are pictures of the bar screen to help with the unit description.

Analysis: The quote provides the cost for parts and labor, the projected lead time for the part to arrive, and the overhaul to be started and completed.

Fiscal Impacts: $56,048 in emergency repair at the wastewater treatment facility.

Recommendation: Accept manufacturer's quote.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: January 19, 2022
Title: Council Discussion and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution Approving and Adopting the Final Draft Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan and Authorizing Submittal of the Final Draft Plan to the Department of Water Resources
Contact Information: Scott Rolls, City Engineer
Location: Citywide
Background: On September 16, 2014, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was signed by Governor Jerry Brown to address state-wide groundwater management issues. The law became effective January 1, 2015.

This legislation has now become the driving force behind groundwater management in the State. The development of sustainable groundwater management plans, their implementation, compliance requirements (data collection), and reporting will now dictate all local and regional efforts pertaining to groundwater resources management.

SGMA provides a framework for the creation of Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) that are given broad powers to develop, implement and enforce Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP). Specific timelines for creating the GSA and developing/implementing the GSP are provided in the legislation, as well as reporting requirements to demonstrate compliance. The plans must include monitoring and management of the groundwater basin(s) over a 50-year planning time period, and the GSP must articulate measurable objectives to be achieved every five years.

The SGMA allows a local public agency, or combination of agencies, to be a GSA for the purpose of developing and implementing a GSP for a particular groundwater basin or subbasin. The recently modified Sutter Subbasin is underneath the City of Live Oak, which qualifies the City of Live Oak to be a GSA for the Subbasin. Local public agencies eligible to be part of a GSA must have either water supply, water management, or land use responsibilities. Local public agencies intending to be a GSA for all, or a portion, of a basin were required to notify the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by June 30, 2017.

If a GSA is not formed, the local County becomes the default GSA under the 24 legislation. SB 13 signed into law on September 4, 2015, also authorizes a mutual water company to participate in a GSA and would provide that a water corporation or a mutual water company may participate through a memorandum of agreement or other legal agreement.

Local agencies have options on how they may structure their GSA. A local public agency or combination of agencies may establish a GSA. For example, each water district, city, and county could designate itself as a GSA and be responsible for their own portion of the basin; or they could join together using a joint powers authority or memorandum of understanding submitting one GSP for all of the basin.

A basin covered by more than one GSA must have a "Coordinated Agreement" where the agencies must coordinate and utilize the same data and methodologies (e.g., groundwater elevation data, groundwater extraction data, surface water supply, water use, change in groundwater storage, water budget, and sustainable yield) for their GSP. Basins could be covered by a single GSP submitted by one agency, a single GSP submitted by multiple agencies, or multiple GSPs submitted by multiple agencies. Groundwater basins are not in compliance until all the GSPs are submitted, representing the geographic coverage of the entire basin.

The SGMA requires both groundwater and land use agencies to review and consider each other's GSP and to coordinate land use and water management with the intent that land use decisions should be taken into consideration in the need to achieve sustainable groundwater targets. To achieve sustainable basin targets, the GSA has a broad set of optional authorities available. For example, they may conduct investigations into the need for groundwater management and water rights, and conduct inspections. They may oversee water management projects such as groundwater recharge, waste water reclamation, water purchases, and programs to voluntarily fallow agricultural land. A GSA may collect groundwater pumping information by requiring the registration of wells, metering of well extraction, and reporting of annual groundwater extractions.

Implementing an appropriate management structure, that is responsive to local interests, is a critical consideration to successful implementation of SGMA. The City of Live Oak is a stakeholder for the water that is underneath the City within the Sutter Subbasin and the City Council elected to become an exclusive GSA on November 4, 2015. The City of Yuba City, Butte Water District, Sutter Extension Water District, Reclamation Districts No. 70, 1500, and 1660, Sutter Community Services District, and the County of Sutter are other agencies within the Sutter Subbasin that have elected to become GSAs.

These GSAs intend to cooperatively produce a single GSP to manage the subbasin groundwater.

The County of Sutter secured a Proposition 1 grant for preparation of the GSP and selected Woodard and Curren to prepare the plan. A Coordinating Committee was established to guide the preparation process. The deadline for submittal of the plan is January 31, 2022.
25 Attached to this staff report are the Preface and Executive Summary of the Final Draft Sutter Subbasin GSP. The entire Final Draft Sutter Subbasin GSP and Final Draft Appendices (a total of roughly 1,800 pages) have been provided separately to the City Council members in electronic form and are available to the public for download at the Sutter Subbasin website:
www.suttersubbasin.org.

The Final Draft Sutter Subbasin GSP indicates that the Sutter Subbasin appears to be sustainable over the 50-year planning horizon without significant intervention, even when factoring in the potential effects of climate change. However, as indicated in the Preface, the GSP is considered a living document and will be updated on a regular basis to incorporate new data and quantify the impacts of the current drought.

Analysis: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and adopting the final draft Sutter Subbasin GSP and authorizing submittal of the final draft plan to DWR.

Fiscal Impacts: None
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution approving and adopting the final draft Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan and authorizing submittal of the final draft plan to the Department of Water Resources.

PREFACE
Development of the Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), along with nearly all other GSPs developed for non-critically overdrafted high- and medium-priority basins in California, has coincided with one of the most severe and extensive recorded droughts in the western United States. As of this writing (in November 2021), the Sutter Subbasin GSP has been assembled as the impacts of a second dry year are beginning to be felt and a third dry year is anticipated for Water Year (WY) 2022. Drought conditions in much of California, including the Sutter Subbasin, are classified as “exceptional,” the most extreme classification defined by the U.S. Drought Monitor1.

Observed impacts during exceptional droughts, according to U.S. Drought Monitor, may include:
• Widespread water shortages
• Surface water depletions
• Extremely low Central Valley Project and State Water Project irrigation water deliveries
• Curtailment of both junior and senior water rights
• Extremely high water prices
• Dry wells
• Drilling of more and deeper wells
• Increased groundwater pumping to meet demands, resulting in increased pumping costs
• Poor water quality
• Fallowed fields, orchard removal, and low vegetable yields • Extensive wildfires
• Impacts to recreational activities
• Wildlife impacts, including impacts to survival and mortality • High agricultural unemployment
Governor Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency on April 21, 2021 in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties2 due to drought conditions in the Russian River Watershed. This emergency declaration was later extended to the Klamath River Watershed Counties, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Watershed Counties (including 1 Available at: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA 2 Governor Newsom’s State of Emergency Proclamation from April 21, 2021 declaring a drought emergency is available at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/4.21.21-EmergencyProclamation-1.pdf. 33 Final Draft

Sutter County, which contains the entirety of the Sutter Subbasin), and the Tulare Lake Watershed Counties1 on May 10, 2021. On July 8, 2021, Executive Order N-10-21 was signed by Governor Newsom2 calling on all Californians to voluntarily reduce their water use by 15% compared to 2020 levels. On August 20, 2021, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued curtailment orders3 to approximately 4,500 water rights (out 6,600 total water rights holders) holders in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to protect drinking water supplies, prevent salinity intrusion, and minimize impacts to fisheries and the environment for a period of one year with periodic evaluation of the orders. Most recently, on October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued a proclamation extending the drought emergency statewide and further urging Californians to conserve water as the western United States faces a potential third dry year.

As of November 2021, no widespread reports of water supply issues from groundwater wells have been observed in the Sutter Subbasin. Several water purveyors have implemented drought policies and management strategies in an effort to alleviate water supply impacts as a result of the current drought. For example, Sutter Extension Water District has implemented a drought policy including a basis for water allocations based on historical land use and conversions from rice growing to other crop types, irrigation reductions, penalties for water waste, and guidelines for intra-district water transfers.

Butte Water District has implemented a similar drought policy including reduction of surface water allocations, irrigation practices, use of private wells, and penalties for taking of water during curtailment. The City of Yuba City has incorporated its Water Shortage Contingency Plan into its adopted 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, which includes the City’s strategy for allocating water during water supply shortages while assuring customers at all times that it will meet the minimum health and safety requirements for a drinking water purveyor (pursuant to Water Code Section 10632 of the Urban water Management Planning Act).

Technical work and public involvement informing development of the Sutter Subbasin GSP began in September 2020 with the complete public draft of the GSP released in October 2021. The best available science, tools, and data have been utilized for the development of this GSP, with the use of available WY 2020 and WY 2021 data where appropriate and applicable. Drought conditions in WY 2020 and WY 2021 have coincided with development of this GSP and the timeline has not permitted a complete evaluation and inclusion of data from these years at this time. Due to the schedule 1 Governor Newsom’s State of Emergency Proclamation from May 10, 2021 extending the April 21, 2021 drought emergency is available at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5.10.2021- Drought-Proclamation.pdf. 2 Executive Order N-10-21 is available at: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/7.8.21- Conservation-EO-N-10-21.pdf. 3 Media release for curtailment orders is available at:

Preface Preface
Sutter Subbasin GSP P-3 November 2021
mandated by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) for completion and submittal of this GSP to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by January 31, 2022, it has not been possible to include conditions that have manifested due to the current drought in development of the Sutter Subbasin GSP. Complete data sets encompassing the current drought are not available at this time due to time need to compile such data and perform quality control prior to review and adoption of this GSP.

However, these conditions will be factored into future required GSP annual reports and five-year evaluations of this GSP as available.

With a 20-year implementation period and a 50-year planning horizon, the Sutter Subbasin GSP is considered to be a “living” document. The Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) will implement this GSP using adaptive management strategies to respond to challenges related to groundwater sustainability, including monitoring of conditions in the Subbasin according to a prescribed schedule and implementing projects and management actions (PMAs). Conditions will be evaluated on an annual basis (or more frequently, as warranted) utilizing monitoring data collected as part of this GSP, as well as other publicly available sources, and PMAs will be added or revised in the GSP annual reports. During five-year GSP evaluations, the GSP will also be reviewed and revised, as needed, as more is known about the effects of current and future conditions.

With the unknowns associated with the compounding impacts of a third dry year, the Sutter Subbasin GSAs recognize the severe impacts that all beneficial users of water in the Subbasin may continue to face and are committed to an open, transparent, and inclusive process in implementing this GSP in the short and long term. The long-term sustainability of the Sutter Subbasin is the end goal and the Sutter Subbasin GSAs are committed to tackling important local issues and adapting to changing conditions to the benefit of all stakeholders.

Executive Summary Introduction
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-1 November 2021

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ES-1. INTRODUCTION
In 2014, the California legislature enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in response to continued overdraft of California’s groundwater resources.

The Sutter Subbasin (Subbasin) is one of 127 alluvial basins and subbasins identified by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as a high or medium priority groundwater basin and therefore subject to the requirements of SGMA. SGMA requires the preparation of a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to provide a path to achieve and document sustainable groundwater management within 20 years following GSP adoption, promoting the long-term sustainability of locally-managed groundwater resources. Within the framework of SGMA, sustainability is generally defined as the long-term reliability of groundwater supply to meet the needs of existing and future beneficial uses and users of groundwater in the Subbasin with the absence of undesirable results.

SGMA requires development of a GSP that achieves groundwater sustainability in the Subbasin by 2042. This GSP provides a framework for sustainable groundwater management moving forward, including water budgets, sustainable management criteria, projects and management actions, monitoring, and implementation activities such as stakeholder outreach and the development of annual reports and five-year evaluations and assessments to this GSP.

ES-2. PLAN AREA
The Sutter Subbasin covers approximately 445 square miles of the Sacramento Valley floor and surrounds the foothills of the Sutter Buttes (Figure ES-1). The Sutter Subbasin is part of the larger Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin and neighbors the following subbasins: Butte, Wyandotte Creek, North Yuba, South Yuba, North American, Yolo, and Colusa. The Sutter Subbasin is bounded on the west by the Sacramento River and on the east by the Feather River. Both rivers serve beneficial uses including recreation, agricultural, and wildlife. Other major features within the Sutter Subbasin include the Sutter Bypass (an artificial flood corridor), Sutter National Wildlife Refuge, and portions of the Sutter Buttes.

Executive Summary Plan Area
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-2 November 2021
Figure ES-1. GSP Plan Area and Neighboring Subbasins
Land use within the Sutter Subbasin is managed by the cities of Live Oak and Yuba City, as well as Sutter County, and is predominantly agricultural with the production of rice as its primary crop. Surface water and groundwater are the water sources for irrigation, managed wetland, municipal, industrial, and urban/domestic purposes.

Implementation of existing land use plans is unlikely to affect the water supply and groundwater sustainability over the planning and implementation horizon as the largest planned changes are related to urban growth with a reduction of agricultural lands.

Existing water resources monitoring and management plans are currently in place throughout the Subbasin, including the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP), Central Valley Salinity Alternatives for Long-Term Sustainability (CV-SALTS), and California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) program, as well as Sutter County well standards and permitting. These existing programs can help inform SGMA activities through coordination with monitoring and management entities on overlapping activities and goals.

Executive Summary Governance and Administration
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-3 November 2021
ES-3. GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
This GSP was developed by the nine Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs): Butte Water District – Sutter, City of Live Oak, City of Yuba City, County of Sutter, Reclamation District No. 70, Reclamation District No. 1500, Reclamation District No. 1660, Sutter Extension Water District, and Sutter Community Service District. Each GSA has its own individual organization and management structures as well as legal authority under which it operates.

The Sutter Subbasin Groundwater Management Coordination Committee (SSGMCC) contains one representative from each GSA and was created to cooperatively carry out the purposes of SGMA by coordinating the development, adoption, and implementation of this GSP. Activities of the SSGMCC include providing technical direction for GSP development, identifying projects and management actions, reporting to their respective GSA boards, and coordinating approval and adoption of this GSP by their respective GSA boards.

ES-4. OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATION
The goal of the public engagement effort related to GSP development and implementation is to understand the needs of stakeholders and groundwater uses and users in the Subbasin; consider the interests of diverse social, cultural, and economic elements of the population; increase awareness and understanding of SGMA and the GSP; and promote active involvement in the process to achieve and maintain sustainability.

Public workshops were held approximately once per quarter during GSP development (five in total) to update interested residents and stakeholders about the GSP preparation process and included presentations on data, information, and analyses, as well as activities to solicit input and feedback from participants. Beyond these meetings, information regarding plan development, noticing, and public comments periods was distributed via the project website (http://suttersubbasin.org/), e-mail notices, social media postings, press releases, and mailings, and utility bill notifications (Figure ES-2).

Supporting materials (online and hard copy) were prepared in English, Spanish, and Punjabi.

Outreach efforts will continue throughout the implementation of this GSP and plan to include continuing SSGMCC meetings, regular updates at GSA board or city council meetings, maintenance of the project website, local outreach at public events, and distribution of a quarterly newsletter to interested parties. 41 Final Draft

Figure ES-2. Sample Utility Bill Insert for Public Workshop ES-5. BASIN SETTING
The Basin Setting chapter of this GSP includes the Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model, Groundwater Conditions, and Water Budgets sections which describe the Subbasin’s physical setting, characteristics, and current conditions. This information serves as a basis for defining and assessing reasonable sustainable management criteria and projects and management actions.

Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model
Lying within the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin, the regional geology of the Sutter Subbasin consists of freshwater sediments that are underlain by marine sediments and igneous or metamorphic rocks. The freshwater sediments consist of the volcanoclastic rocks of the Sutter Buttes and sediments weathered from the Sierra Nevada to the east. The Willows Fault is the primary active fault structure within Sutter County and lies to the southwest and west of the Sutter Buttes. The Sutter Buttes, which form an elliptical lateral boundary, is the only prominent topographic feature, located in the northern part of the Subbasin, abruptly rising 2,000 feet above the surrounding valley floor. The topography of the Sutter Subbasin, aside from the Sutter Buttes, is primarily comprised of gentle flatlands with elevations ranging from 80 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the northeast to 20 feet above MSL in the south. Soils consist mainly of poorly drained clay and clay loam soils, but near the rivers, well drained loam to sandy loam may be present.

The Sutter Subbasin groundwater system is composed of a single principal aquifer comprised of various formations that create zones with varying hydrogeologic properties. As such, this GSP recognizes three Aquifer Zones (AZ) within the principal aquifer: AZ-1 (surface to 150 feet below ground surface [ft bgs]), AZ-2 (150 to 400 ft 42 Final Draft
Executive Summary Basin Setting
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-5 November 2021
bgs), and AZ-3 (greater than 400 ft bgs). In subsequent sections of this GSP, AZ-1 has been further subdivided to include the Shallow AZ (surface to 50 ft bgs) to assess and monitor for impacts related to interconnected surface water and groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs), with AZ-1 then including depths from 50 to 150 ft bgs.

Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater level trends in the Sutter Subbasin are largely flat over time, indicating sustainable conditions, as aquifer rebound is observed during all water year types (Figure ES-3). Shallow groundwater levels are relatively stable over time and indicate that most groundwater production is occurring below this aquifer zone. More groundwater appears to be produced from the deeper aquifer zones, as indicated by large fluctuations in groundwater elevations where responses to groundwater pumping are observed with rebound following the irrigation season as the aquifer recharges and returns to pre-pumping levels on a seasonal basis.

Figure ES-3. Sample Nested Well Hydrograph in Sutter Subbasin As with groundwater levels, groundwater storage volumes in the Sutter Subbasin have been generally stable over at least the past 30 years (the length of available record).

The volume of groundwater in storage increases as groundwater levels rise and decreases as groundwater levels fall; thus, stable groundwater level conditions also result in stable groundwater storage conditions. Total groundwater storage in the Sutter Subbasin is estimated to be 49 million acre-feet (AF) based on the C2VSimFG-Sutter integrated flow model.

Due to its location inland from the Pacific Ocean and set back from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, seawater intrusion and related groundwater conditions are not applicable to the Sutter Subbasin.

Groundwater quality in the Sutter Subbasin varies by location. Several constituents have been detected at levels that exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for drinking water, including arsenic, boron, total dissolved solids (TDS), and nitrate. 43 Final Draft
Executive Summary Basin Setting
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-6 November 2021
Median arsenic concentrations have decreased since 1952 and most recently are below the Primary MCL of 0.01 mg/L. Median boron concentrations peaked between 2009 and 2012 but remained below the agricultural water quality objective of 0.7 mg/L, and maximum concentrations of boron have decreased over time. Maximum TDS concentrations have substantially decreased since 1952, peaking in 2006, with the most recently observed maximum concentration occurring below the Upper Secondary MCL of 1,500 mg/L. Median nitrate concentrations have increased since 1952 and have been detected above the Primary MCL of 10 mg/L for nitrate as N as of 2012. The most recently observed maximum concentration exceeds the Primary MCL for nitrate by over 10 times. All constituents were found to be naturally occurring, except nitrate, detections of which are few and scattered throughout the Subbasin.

Land subsidence within the Sutter Subbasin has been minimal in recent years and there has been no reported negative impacts of land subsidence on critical infrastructure.

While elastic land subsidence is observed as a result of seasonal fluctuations in groundwater levels and associated aquifer pressure, evidence of inelastic land subsidence has not been recorded within the Subbasin.

Interconnected surface waters (surface waters that are hydraulically connected by a saturated zone to the groundwater system) are categorized as “losing” when the groundwater elevations adjacent to a river or stream decline causing the river or stream to “lose” water to the underlying aquifer, or “gaining” when hydraulic gradients flow from the groundwater aquifer to the river or stream. The Sutter Bypass, Feather River, and Sacramento River were all found to have fluctuating gaining and losing conditions throughout the Subbasin.

GDEs in the Sutter Subbasin exist primarily where vegetation is reliant on shallow groundwater supply for survival. Potential GDEs have been identified along the Feather River and the most northeastern portion of the Sutter flyway.

Water Budgets
Water budgets are developed to provide a quantitative account of water (including surface water and groundwater) entering and leaving the Sutter Subbasin under historical, current, projected, and projected with climate change conditions. The water budgets were estimated using C2VSimFG-Sutter, a numerical groundwater and surface water model developed specifically for the Sutter Subbasin. The primary components of the groundwater budget include (also depicted in Figure ES-4):
• Inflows:
o Deep percolation from rainfall, irrigation-applied water, and applied water for refuge use
o Stream seepage
o Land subsidence inflow
44 Final Draft
Executive Summary Basin Setting
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-7 November 2021
o Conveyance seepage
o Subsurface inflow from adjacent subbasins
• Outflows:
o Groundwater outflow to streams
o Groundwater pumping
o Subsurface outflow to adjacent subbasins
• Change in groundwater storage
Figure ES-4. Overview of Water Budget Components
The average annual change in groundwater storage is stable under all water budget scenarios, with a net 0 AF change in storage under projected conditions (both with and without climate change). Figure ES-5 shows the average annual volume of inflow and outflow from the groundwater budget for all water budget scenarios.

The sustainable yield for the Sutter Subbasin is estimated as 182,000 acre-feet per year (AFY). The estimated sustainable yield is higher than simulated average annual groundwater pumping in all four water budget scenarios – historical, current conditions, projected conditions, and projected conditions with climate change. Therefore, it can be reasonably stated that the Subbasin is currently operating under sustainable conditions and is expected to continue to be sustainable if changes estimated in the projected conditions scenario hold true into the future. Additionally, sustainable yield is a longterm value and groundwater pumping may exceed the estimated sustainable yield value during certain years, balanced by other years with reduced pumping so that the longterm average remains at or below the sustainable yield. 45 Final Draft
Executive Summary Sustainability Management Criteria
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-8 November 2021
Figure ES-5. Sutter Subbasin Average Annual Groundwater Budget ES-6. SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT CRITERIA
SGMA introduces several terms to measure sustainability including (Figure ES-6):
• Sustainability Indicators – Sustainability indicators refer to adverse effects caused by groundwater conditions occurring throughout the Subbasin that, when significant and unreasonable, cause undesirable results. The six sustainability indicators identified by DWR are the following:
o Chronic lowering of groundwater levels
o Reduction of groundwater storage
o Seawater intrusion
o Degraded water quality
o Land subsidence
o Depletions of interconnected surface water
• Sustainability Goal – This goal is the culmination of conditions resulting in the absence of undesirable results within 20 years.
• Undesirable Results – The condition at which for each sustainability indicator significant and unreasonable impacts are likely to be observed. • Minimum Thresholds – Minimum thresholds are a numeric value for each sustainability indicator and are used to define when undesirable results occur. • Measurable Objectives – Measurable objectives are a specific set of quantifiable goals for the maintenance and improvement of groundwater conditions. 46 Final Draft
Executive Summary Sustainability Management Criteria
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-9 November 2021
• Interim Milestones – Targets set in five-year increments over the GSP implementation period to reach the measurable objectives within 20 years. • Margin of Operational Flexibility or Operating Range – The range of active management between the measurable objective and minimum threshold.

Figure ES-6. Sustainable Management Criteria Schematic for Groundwater Levels The sustainability goal for the Sutter Subbasin is as follows:

The Sutter Subbasin will maintain locally-managed groundwater resources for existing and future beneficial uses and users that are economically viable and sustainable by managing groundwater use within the sustainable yield, resulting in the avoidance of undesirable results. This goal will be achieved through implementation of proposed projects and management actions and monitoring activities aiding in reaching or maintaining established interim milestones and measurable objectives culminating in the absence of undesirable results by 2042.

Water managers in the Sutter Subbasin will work together and collaboratively with stakeholders and neighboring subbasins through GSP implementation and beyond to achieve this goal.

The method prescribed by SGMA to measure undesirable results and achieve the sustainability goal involves setting minimum thresholds and measurable objectives for a series of representative monitoring sites. The Sustainable Management Criteria (SMC) are summarized in Table ES-1.

Executive Summary Sustainability Implementation
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-13 November 2021
ES-7. SUSTAINABILITY IMPLEMENTATION
The Sutter Subbasin GSP contains the required sections for sustainability implementation, including Projects and Management Actions and a Representative Monitoring Network monitoring program.

Projects and Management Actions
As the Sutter Subbasin is currently sustainable and projected to remain sustainable, there are no projects or management actions required to achieve sustainability.

However, projects and management actions can enhance understanding of the groundwater system and improve the ability to adaptively manage the Subbasin so that undesirable results can be prevented. Most projects and management actions contained in this GSP will be implemented as-needed and as funding is available.

Projects and management actions listed in the Sutter Subbasin GSP include select ongoing and planned projects and management actions, such as:
• System modernization by water purveyors
• Boundary flow and primary spill measurement and drainage recovery • Multi-benefit recharge
• Grower education
• Installation of shallow monitoring wells
As-needed projects and management actions will be implemented, as deemed necessary, to support sustainability, allow for adaptation to changing conditions, and achieve other water management objectives, such as:
• Direct and in-lieu groundwater recharge
• Wetland habitat improvement, such as through securing firm water supplies or fish screen projects
• Surface water supply augmentation through backwash recovery • Updated electrical Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and telemetry • Water quality enhancement through replacement of sewer mains • Projects to address data gaps, such as:
o Investigations of interactions between rivers and changes in groundwater levels o Investigation of source of elevated salinity in the shallow aquifer zone o Study of aquifer properties
o Data collection to improve the HCM
o Comprehensive groundwater quality investigation
51 Final Draft
Executive Summary Sustainability Implementation
Sutter Subbasin GSP ES-14 November 2021
o Investigation and characterization of the Sutter Buttes, including salinity monitoring, airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey, and an inter-basin working group focused on water quality
o Groundwater dependent ecosystem mapping confirmation
o Well census
o Land subsidence monitoring evaluation
A living list of projects and management actions will be maintained and updated in the Subbasin data management system (DMS) using the Opti platform, reflecting the current status of each and continually adjusting as needed to meet changing basin conditions. The list of projects and management actions in the DMS constitutes the required list for the Sutter Subbasin GSP per the GSP Emergency Regulations Subarticle 5. Projects and Management Actions.

Monitoring
The Sutter Subbasin GSP includes monitoring networks for the five applicable sustainability indicators, where seawater intrusion is not applicable to the Sutter Subbasin. The objective of these monitoring networks is to monitor conditions across the Subbasin and detect trends toward undesirable results such that adaptive management actions and projects can be implemented to prevent the onset of undesirable results. Specifically, the monitoring networks were developed to:
• Monitoring changes in groundwater conditions relative to measurable objectives and minimum thresholds
• Monitor impacts to the beneficial uses and users of groundwater resulting from groundwater use
• Demonstrate progress toward achieving measurable objectives described in the GSP
Five monitoring networks were developed for the Sutter Subbasin GSP: groundwater levels by aquifer zone (also used as proxy for reduction in groundwater storage sustainability indicator), groundwater quality by aquifer zone, land subsidence, and interconnected surface water. All monitoring networks described in this GSP are representative monitoring networks and are used to determine compliance with the quantitative minimum thresholds and measurable objectives established at each representative monitoring site.

The monitoring networks were designed by evaluating existing monitoring programs, such as CASGEM, monitoring conducted by DWR, or local agency monitoring programs. The monitoring networks largely consist of monitoring sites that have historical monitoring data and no significant barriers to future monitoring events. Data gaps identified in the Sutter Subbasin monitoring network include unknown construction 52 Final Draft

details for several groundwater quality monitoring wells and limited shallow monitoring wells currently available along identified interconnected surface waters. Progress will be made to fill these identified data gaps prior to the first five-year evaluation and assessment, where updated monitoring networks will be included in future GSP updates.

Monitoring frequencies vary by sustainability indicator. For groundwater levels and interconnected surface water, measurements will be taken during seasonal high (March through April) and seasonal low (September through October) conditions. Additional groundwater level measurements may be taken in areas where rice growing activities substantially alter the timing of seasonal highs and lows in shallow aquifer zones.

Groundwater quality for identified constituents of concern (TDS and nitrate as N) will be analyzed annually with samples collected in September. Measurements for interconnected surface waters will be collected concurrently with those for groundwater levels. Land subsidence will be monitored by DWR using the Sacramento Valley Global Positioning System (GPS) Subsidence Monitoring Network every five years, with the next survey to be completed in 2022. Publicly available Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and stream gage data will be collected and evaluated on an annal basis.

ES-8. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Implementing the Sutter Subbasin GSP will require numerous management activities by the Sutter Subbasin GSAs, including:
• GSA administration and activities associated with the SSGMCC • Conducting outreach and stakeholder engagement
• GSP-related monitoring activities at specified timing and frequency and analysis of monitoring data relative to established SMC
• Updating the Subbasin DMS
• C2VSim-FG model refinements
• Implementing adaptive management strategies as needed • Implementing projects and management actions, as needed and as funding is available
• Annual Report development and submittal to DWR by April 1 each year • Evaluating and updating the GSP at least every five years Implementation of the Sutter Subbasin GSP will require funding from the GSAs as well as external sources. Outside grants will be sought to assist with reducing the cost of implementation to participating agencies, residents, and landowners in the Subbasin.

The estimated initial cost of GSP implementation activities is between approximately $632,000 and $1,212,000 per year during the initial years of implementation, excluding 53 Final Draft

implementation of projects and management actions. Costs associated with the implementation of identified projects and management actions will vary depending on the project type and stage of the project (e.g., planning or construction). The Sutter Subbasin GSAs will individually fund implementation of projects in their respective areas unless otherwise agreed upon by the GSAs’ governing bodies.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: January 19, 2022
Title: Council Discussion and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Designation of Certain Products, Brands or Services and the Waiver of the Competitive Bidding Requirements for the Purchase of Standardized Equipment for Use in the Live Oak Streetscape Project
Contact Information: Scott Rolls, City Engineer
Location: Live Oak Boulevard at Elm Street, Pennington Road, and Kola Street 57 Background: The Live Oak Streetscape Project will replace the existing traffic signals at Elm Street and Pennington Road and install a new traffic signal at Kola Street. The existing traffic signals utilize an emergency vehicle preemption system made up of transmitters mounted in the emergency vehicles, receiver units mounted on the traffic signal mast arms, and discriminators mounted within the traffic signal control cabinets. The system allows the emergency vehicle to preempt the normal traffic signal phasing by communicating with the receiver on the traffic signal mast arm which changes the traffic signal to green in the direction of travel of the emergency vehicle. This helps to clear the intersection and traffic queue preventing unnecessary delay for the emergency vehicle.

The system currently in use in the City's emergency vehicles and traffic signals is made by Opti-Com. The Opti-Com system has performed well over the years and staff feel that continuing with the Opti-Com system is the best solution going forward. It will be compatible with the equipment already installed in the emergency vehicles and has provided reliable service.

In order to maintain the standardization of the emergency vehicle preemption communication equipment at all of the traffic signals within the City, the contract documents for the Live Oak Streetscape Project designate certain products, brands, services and standardized equipment for exclusive use in the project. This type of standardization is allowed by the Live Oak Municipal Code with the approval of the City Council and by the Public Contract Code. The Public Contract Code requires the awarding authority to make a finding that the products, brands or services are for one of the purposes enumerated in section 3400(c). The purpose stated in section 3400(c)(2), “In order to match other products in use on a particular public improvement either completed or in the course of completionâ€, applies to the Live Oak Streetscape Project.

Emergency vehicle preemption is not a Caltrans standard. Installation and maintenance of these systems is allowed on state highways only when requested by and funded by the local agency. In the case of the Live Oak Streetscape Project, the City will purchase the equipment and provide it to the state's contractor for installation. Since the preemption equipment is only available from a single supplier in the City's region, this purchase will be a non-competitive, sole source purchase.

Analysis: Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the designation of certain products, brands or services and the waiver of the competitive bidding requirements for the purchase of standardized equipment for use in the Live Oak Streetscape Project.

Fiscal Impacts: Reduced operation and maintenance costs due to standardization at all traffic signals.
58 Recommendation: Adopt resolution authorizing the designation of certain products, brands or services and the waiver of the competitive bidding requirements for the purchase of standardized equipment for use in the Live Oak Streetscape Project.
