133 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Financial Plan

10.2.2 FUTURE PROJECTS
Any of the participating Public Agencies may propose water supply projects to the Watermaster for inclusion in the Plan. Such proposals, after evaluation by the Advisor and the TC, shall be presented to the Watermaster for approval or rejection. If the Watermaster chooses to reject the proposal, the proposing Public Agency may implement the rejected project as long as it does not significantly impact the implementation of the Plan and/or interfere with ongoing groundwater production by the Public Agencies.

10.2.3 USE OF MEMBER AGENCY ASSETS
It is the intent of the Member Agencies that their respective facilities shall be used in a manner that facilitates the implementation of the Plan, on terms that are equitable to all parties and consistent with each agency’s obligations to its customer base.

10.3 ASSESSMENTS
Public agencies participating in the Plan are subject to two different assessments:
„ Administrative Assessment; and
„ Replenishment Assessment.

The purpose and use of these assessment funds are described in the following two sections:

10.3.1 ADMINISTRATIVE ASSESSMENTS
Administrative Assessments will be levied on each acre-foot pumped by each Public Agency up to the agency’s Adjusted Production Right. These assessments can be used to pay costs associated with:
„ Advisor’s activities and his/her administrative expenses; „ Billing and assessment collection costs;
„ Data collection and evaluation projects;
„ Plan implementation administration, including monitoring plan, and associated salaries and overhead; and
„ Project planning and reporting expenses.

Initially, the Administrative Assessment shall be Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per AF, subject to adjustment by the Watermaster.
134 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Financial Plan
At the discretion of the Watermaster, any excess funds not used for the above expenditures at the end of the fiscal year can be used to purchase, deliver, and recharge the groundwater within the Management Area. These recharge waters are above and beyond groundwater replenishment waters purchased using the replenishment assessments, and should not be credited to individual Public Agencies as part of their required replenishment obligations. This shall not prohibit the development of a program or plan to provide credits for water purchased above and beyond that needed to satisfy a party’s replenishment obligation.

Subject to the Watermaster’s approval, funds may also be used to acquire and deliver water for direct use in lieu of pumping.

10.3.2 REPLENISHMENT ASSESSMENTS
Replenishment Assessments will be levied on each acre-foot of water pumped in excess of each Public Agency's or Class B Participant’s Adjusted Production Right. Replenishment Assessments will be in amounts equal to the cost of importing or acquiring supplemental water to recharge the Management Area. The component costs will include the cost of the water (including conveyance, transportation and energy costs, operations and maintenance costs, a reserve for replacement and other administrative costs). These assessments will be levied on a per AF of water in excess of each respective member’s adjusted Base Production Right. The revenue received for the replacement component shall be placed in a separate reserve fund to be used to fund the replacement cost of the existing system. New and/or expanded facilities will be financed from other resources.

10.3.3 COLLECTIONS AND ACCOUNTS
All the collected assessments and accounts associated with the Plan will be administered by the EMWD and are subject to the policies set by the Watermaster. All payments made to the Watermaster shall be maintained in a separate restricted account established by EMWD, and all accounts shall be subject to annual independent financial audits.

All revenues and assessments shall be used exclusively to acquire supplemental water for the recharge of the management Area and for the facilities and operational and administrative expenses associated with the Plan.

10.4 PHASE I FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION AND SOBOBA

SETTLEMENT FINANCING

10.4.1 EMWD CONSTRUCTION COST
The initial facilities, Phase I, shall consist of existing EMWD facilities and expansion and additions to be constructed by EMWD at a cost currently estimated at $16.12 million less public grants totaling $5.0 million, for a net cost of $11.12 million. EMWD shall finance the construction of these facilities through a bond issue or cash payment or by combination thereof.

Each Public Agency shall be responsible for pro-rata repayment of the bonds through EMWD or reimbursement to EMWD (to the extent EMWD pays cash for said construction) based on that Agency's Base Production Right allocation percentage, i.e., 34.2% for LHMWD, 33.7% for EMWD, 19.6% for the City of Hemet, and 12.5% for the City of San Jacinto.

10.4.2 PAYMENTS TO SOBOBA TRIBE
In addition to the financing of the construction of Phase I facilities referred to in Section 10.4.1 above, the Soboba Settlement requires the payment of an additional $17 million to the Soboba Tribe in return for the right to use low cost MWD water delivered for the benefit of the Tribe but which the Tribe does not use and other unused Tribal water. The $17 million will be financed in the same manner as the construction of the initial Phase I facilities, i.e., by bond issue or cash payment by EMWD or a combination thereof. The $17 million obligation will be partially offset by a $10 million contribution by the United States toward the costs of constructing the Phase I facilities. Each Public Agency shall be responsible for pro-rata repayment of the bonds through EMWD or reimbursement to EMWD (for cash payment) based on that Agency's Base Production Right allocation percentage, as set out in Subparagraph (a) above.

10.4.2.1 Water Cost
The payment described above to the Soboba Tribe for the right to use low-cost MWD water delivered for the benefit of the Tribe but not used by the Tribe does not include the price of the water itself, which must be paid to MWD. Each Public Agency shall contractually agree with EMWD to pay its share of MWD’s price for such water that it acquires for use to EMWD to enable EMWD to pay MWD.

Financial Plan

10.4.3 EMWD OBLIGATION
Agreements between EMWD and each other Public Agency setting forth that Agency's financial commitment as required under Sections 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 (citation) above will be required as a condition precedent to EMWD's obligation to finance the facilities construction and the payment to the Tribe so as to establish a dedicated source of revenue for bond repayment or reimbursement, as appropriate. Said agreements shall also provide that, in return for said financial commitment, the Public Agency shall be entitled to: (1) share in the capacity of the Phase I facilities (those in existence and those to be constructed) and (2) share in the rights to the MWD water not used by the Tribe and other unused Tribal water, in each case based on the Agency's Base Production Right allocation percentage, as set out in Subparagraph (a) above.

Each agreement with EMWD shall provide for the Agency’s method of pro-rata repayment of bonds or reimbursement to EMWD, provided, however, that no Agency will be required to do so by cash payment without its consent.

10.4.4 RIGHT TO TRANSFER ENTITLEMENT TO USE FACILITIES AND/OR ENTITLEMENT TO

SHARE IN RIGHTS TO WATER NOT USED BY TRIBE
Each Public Agency shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise transfer the rights and obligations it holds to use the Phase I facilities described in Section 10.4.1 above and/or to share in the rights to the MWD water not used by the Tribe or other water not used by the Tribe described in Sections 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 above, provided that the transferee thereof shall be bound by said obligations. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Watermaster shall have the right of first refusal regarding any such transfer proposed by a Public Agency.

10.5 FUTURE CAPITAL FACILITIES
Future facilities may be required to meet the growth needs of the Management Area, which may require that a JPA or other financing conduit be formed. In either case, each Public Agency’s contribution toward the cost of acquiring the added facilities shall be established by the Watermaster at the time such facilities will be needed. The use of such facilities shall be at the discretion of the Watermaster and be dedicated to replenishment activities. The foregoing shall not affect the right of a Public Agency to undertake a water supply project pursuant to Section 10.4.2 above.

In addition, the TC will receive all Monitoring Program and associated data from EMWD for review and evaluation. The TC members are anticipated to keep the City Councils, Agency Boards of Directors, and participating Private Pumpers informed about the Watermaster activities and the Water Management Plan’s status.

Within six months of Stipulated Judgment approval, the Watermaster will prepare and adopt Rules and Regulations for its own operation as well as for the operation of the Water Management Plan and Judgment. A dispute resolution process will be included in the Rules and Regulations.

11.2 MONITORING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The Monitoring Program was initiated with the execution of the September 2003 Agreement to Develop a Groundwater Monitoring Program in the Hemet/San Jacinto Management Area between the Cities of Hemet and San Jacinto, EMWD, and LHMWD. Its purpose was to measure and monitor groundwater levels to assist in the accurate evaluation of conditions of overdraft and the evaluation of the operational safe yield in the Management Area. In addition to water levels, the program included water quality and production monitoring. The agreement for 2005 added surface water monitoring of San Jacinto River flows in conjunction with the U.S.

Geological Survey. Funded equitably among the agencies, the Monitoring Program has been managed by EMWD. The monitoring locations currently are sampled annually for quality and are measured semi-annual for water levels. The locations are presented in Figure 11.2. These 141 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Implementation Plan
locations may be updated based on the recommendations in the annual monitoring program as discussed later in this Section.

To protect groundwater supplies, an Inactive Well Capping/Sealing Program is included in the Monitoring Programs. Under this program, an inactive well or open casing will be capped/sealed at no charge to the well owner. These wells may still be used for water level and, in some cases, water quality monitoring. Priority is given to those wells that are potentially dangerous open holes (16-18" casings) or those located in areas where flooding resulting from precipitation might carry manure, fertilizers, or other contaminants into the well.

Any Agency or well owner can provide the Watermaster or Monitoring Program personnel with the location of an unused well or open casing for consideration for the Inactive Well Capping/Sealing Program.

Under a contract with the Watermaster, EMWD will lead the Monitoring Program effort. Prior to January 1st of any given year, EMWD staff will present a proposed Monitoring Program to the Advisor. The program is anticipated to include:

1. Estimated number of wells to be monitored for groundwater levels;

2. Estimated number of wells to be sampled for water quality;

3. Number of meters to be read monthly or installed or repaired;

4. Estimated number of inactive wells to be capped;

5. Any changes or variation from the previous year’s activities; and

6. Estimated budget to include cost for the field activities and development of the annual report.

The Advisor will review, revise, approve or reject the proposed monitoring program and initiate the annual monitoring program before the end of January of each year. The annual Monitoring Program budget must be approved by the Watermaster before the end of February of each year. The Monitoring Program is run on a calendar year basis and each annual report and associated budget will reflect such a calendar year time period. 142 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area

Data to be considered for collection and inclusion in the Hemet/San Jacinto Water Management Area Annual Reports to assess the status of the basins and to monitor the responses for future management activities may include, but is not limited to:
„ Groundwater level monitoring results;
„ Groundwater quality monitoring results;
„ Groundwater production;
„ Surface water flow monitoring results;
„ Surface water quality;
„ Surface water diversions;
„ Imported water;
„ Hydrologic data (rainfall and evaporation);
„ Recycled water production;
„ Recycled water sales/use;
„ Conveyance water;
„ Water conservation measures;
„ Population growth and development; and
„ Land use and crop mix.

EMWD will submit the Annual Hemet/San Jacinto Water Management Area Report resulting from the Monitoring Program to the Advisor for review within four months after completion of each calendar year’s monitoring program. The Advisor will then provide the Watermaster with recommendations on how best to operate the Management Area as well as provide a proposed determination of Administrative and Replenishment Assessments for each agency based on previous year’s activities. Within the first six years, the Watermaster, with input from its Advisor and the TC, will make a determination of the safe yield of the Management Area.

Thereafter, the safe yield shall be reviewed and modified, if necessary, upon the recommendation of the TC or as the Watermaster may determine.

The Watermaster will use information provided in the Annual Hemet/San Jacinto Water Management Area Report and Advisor’s recommendations to decide on how to meet the goals for the upcoming year(s).

11.3 MANAGEMENT PLANNING TOOLS
In the future, the Watermaster may want to develop or use databases and other numerical models as planning tools. EMWD maintains a RWRD. Data from the Groundwater and Surface 144 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Implementation Plan
Water Monitoring Programs, as well as other water and groundwater-related data, are stored in this database. These data form the basis of the Hemet/San Jacinto Water Management Area Annual Reports and can be made available to the Advisor.

EMWD’s groundwater flow/transport numerical model can also be made available to assist the Advisor and the Watermaster in evaluating different water resources management alternatives for future projects, for planning purposes, for analysis as in the Regional Water Quality Control Board permitting process, and for determining safe yield. The model is capable of calculating the water budget, exhibiting trends, evaluating regulatory constraints, and can be used as a planning tool. It is recommended that the model be updated every three to five years at the discretion of the Watermaster.

To use EMWD’s RWRD and groundwater flow/transport numerical model, the Watermaster is anticipated to enter into a contract with EMWD to cover the Watermaster related cost of software upgrades, necessary hardware, and resources required for maintenance of these tools.

11.4 FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION
The Watermaster is responsible for the levying, billing, and collection of all assessments provided for under the Judgment, for the payment of all costs and expenses of the Watermaster, and for the performance of accounting and related functions required in connection with performing the Watermaster’s duties. The Agencies’ groundwater production will be subject to Administrative and Replenishment Assessments. Class B participants are only subject to Replenishment Assessments.

The Watermaster will determine the amount of the Administrative Assessments. For the first year of implementation these assessments are set at $50 per acre-foot. The amount of the Replenishment Assessments will equal the cost of providing a like quantity of supplemental water to recharge the Management Area. The cost of providing a like quantity of water will include the costs of water, operations and maintenance costs of the replenishment system; capital recovery, and other administrative costs as defined in the Stipulated Judgment. An Administrative Assessment will be levied on each acre foot pumped by an Agency up to its adjusted base production right excluding any adjustments as outlined in the Stipulated Judgment.

In order to obtain operating funds for the Watermaster, the Agencies will advance payment of their share of the Administrative Assessments. These payments are anticipated to be paid within the first quarter of each year. Replenishment Assessments due will be determined on the basis of production during the prior calendar year, and are expected to be paid within the first 145 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Implementation Plan
quarter of the year following the prior calendar year’s production. Replenishment Assessments will be collected prior to actual recharge by the Watermaster.

In addition, the Agencies will be required to make payments as required under other obligations with EMWD, such as, Phase 1 Facilities and Construction Cost and Use, and delivery and use of recycled water agreements.

Starting with the second year, the Watermaster’s invoices should reflect the balance of the Administrative and Replenishment Assessment payments from the previous year as a credit or debit on the invoices.

Within three months of Stipulated Judgment approval, the Watermaster is anticipated to contract with EMWD to perform the Watermaster’s accounting functions including billing, collection, and accounting. EMWD will maintain a restricted account for such activities as the operation of the Monitoring Programs and purchase of replenishment water. In addition, EMWD will invoice the Watermaster for its share of imported water costs. EMWD’s restricted accounts will be included in the Watermaster’s year-end audits to be conducted in accordance with accepted accounting principles.

Funding for the monitoring program, development and use of the management planning tools, and the financial management of the accounts are anticipated to come from Administrative Assessments.

All funds collected by EMWD must be held in a segregated account and all expenses and disbursements must be separately accounted for.

11.5 STIPULATED JUDGMENT ADMINISTRATION
The Watermaster shall prepare, file with the Court, and distribute to relevant parties a Watermaster Annual Report including a summary of all activities during the preceding calendar year, an audited statement of all accounts and financial activities of the Watermaster, and a summary of extractions and replenishments as well as all other pertinent information.

The Watermaster will provide the Court updated estimates of the groundwater budget, safe yield, and overdraft as required.

During the development of the Water Management Plan, a number of Agreements and MOUs were initiated among and between the Agencies. Within three months of the Stipulated Judgment approval, the Watermaster will review and re-issue the Agreements and MOUs in the name of the Watermaster if necessary and appropriate. The current MOUs are presented in Appendix H.
146 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Implementation Plan
Upon Settlement Agreement implementation, the Watermaster will recognize the Tribal Water Rights, as set forth in the Stipulated Judgment and the applicable provisions of the Soboba Tribe Settlement Agreement.

11.6 FACILITIES AND PROJECTS
Each Agency shall continue to own its existing capital facilities for water management.

However, capital facilities may be jointly constructed and owned by the Management Plan.

Joint financing of such facilities may be funded by regional capital fees, loans and grants, municipal bonds, and contributions for storage by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California or other third parties. Responsibility for the costs of any existing and future capital facility of the Management Plan should be apportioned among the Agencies based on the relative benefit to be derived by each Agency. Any Agency may propose a project to be included in the Management Plan to increase Management Area water supply. Such proposals, after evaluation by the Watermaster, shall be included or rejected. If the Watermaster chooses to reject a proposal, the proposing Agency may implement the rejected project as long as it does not significantly impact the implementation of the Management Plan and/or interfere with the ongoing production by the Agencies. The maintenance and upgrading of facilities currently owned by any Agency, and used to further the goals of the Management Plan, will be considered by the Watermaster for funding.

The Agencies have been evaluating and developing a number of programs to mitigate overdraft. The stakeholders agreed that the primary project, the core of the Physical Solution, is the IRRP. This project involves the artificial recharge of imported water into the basin along the San Jacinto River. An agreement that documents the ownership, financing, and operation of the facilities for Phase I of the IRRP is anticipated to be executed after completion of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The Recycled Water In-Lieu Program identifies large agricultural pumpers in the Management Area that can use recycled water as their source of supply instead of producing groundwater.

Providing recycled water to these producers will reduce the stress on groundwater resources and will reduce the community’s long-term need for imported replenishment water.

The Watermaster, with assistance from the Advisor, TC, and EMWD, will develop recycled water strategies. The operational feasibility of these strategies will be assessed and determined by the Advisor and EMWD. The Advisor will recommend economically feasible projects to the Watermaster for implementation. It is anticipated that EMWD, as the sole recycled water provider in the Management Area will, own, operate and administer facilities required for these projects.

11.7 SPECIAL PROJECTS AND STUDIES
It will be necessary to conduct technical or other investigations such as hydrogeologic investigations, GIS analyses, field investigations, numerical modeling, or feasibility studies.

The Watermaster may act individually or participate with other entities to conduct such investigations or to collect data necessary to accomplish the main goals of the Management Plan. In addition, any Agency may propose investigations or studies that are appropriate to the goals of the Management Plan. Such proposals, after review by the Advisor and evaluation by the Watermaster, shall either be accepted or rejected. If the Watermaster rejects a study, the proposing Agency may still implement the investigation or study so long as it does not significantly impact the implementation of the Management Plan or interfere with the ongoing activities by the Agencies.

11.8 CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
Each agency maintains its own individual Conservation Program. Additional conservation measures can be designed and implemented using Best Management Practices by the agencies and/or implemented by the agricultural producers and dairy water users. The Watermaster has the discretion to expand its involvement in local conservation programs and if appropriate, lead any collaborative conservation program amongst the agencies.

11.9 WELL CONSTRUCTION, ABANDONMENT, AND DESTRUCTION
Riverside County regulates the construction, reconstruction, abandonment, and destruction of community water supply wells, individual domestic wells, and agricultural wells. Through the offices of the Department of Environmental Health, the County is responsible for issuing permits for well drilling or abandonment.

Section 10 of the Ordinance No. 682.3 states, “Standards for the construction, reconstruction, abandonment, or destruction of wells shall be the standards recommended in the Bulletins of the California Department of Water Resources as follows: Bulletin NO 74-81 Chapter II Water Wells, and Bulletin NO 74-90 (Supplement to Bulletin 74-81) and as these Bulletins may be amended by the State of California from time to time.”
To oversee management of the groundwater resources in the area, the Watermaster is expected to coordinate with the County of Riverside, and track new developments in the area. This will help the Watermaster to identify critical groundwater monitoring wells that are located in areas to be developed. A plan for proper abandonment and/or destruction, and replacement of the well as a monitoring well, if appropriate, will then be set in motion. 148 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan
Implementation Plan
If the well is critical in providing data for the Management Area Monitoring Program, the Watermaster will work with the appropriate jurisdictional agency and the well owner to save the well for monitoring or to replace it with a new monitoring well in an area adjacent to a retention basin, park, green belt, or other community area in the vicinity of the original well location.

The Advisor, with the concurrence of the Watermaster, will arrange meetings with the Agencies to discuss and review future construction of any facilities that may be of value or interest to the Management Plan area. The Watermaster will work with the project proponent with regard to enhancing and or modifying the facilities to maximize the benefit to the Management Plan effort.

11.10 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The process by which interested and affected individuals, organizations, agencies and government entities are consulted and included in decision making, has been the driving force in the development of the Water Management Plan. Stakeholders in the Hemet/San Jacinto basins have recognized for several years that their groundwater basins are in a state of overdraft. The Soboba Water rights Proposal presented in February of 1995 provided the impetus for the examination of the overdraft problem. The topic of discussion of a public meeting held on December 13, 2000 was the state of the Hemet/San Jacinto groundwater basins.

EMWD sponsored community discussions in early 2001 entitled: “Groundwater Management:

Avoiding Political Pitfalls”, “State of the Hemet/San Jacinto Basins”, and “Cooperate to Selfgovern”. The Principles for Water Management were drafted as the basis for a starting point to develop solutions, both for the Soboba proposal and for the overdrafted basin. The Principles were circulated to the general public in February 2001.

In June, 2001, EMWD, LHMWD, City of Hemet and City of San Jacinto signed a conjunctive management Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with DWR. Two committees were organized to work cooperatively to address the issues. The policy committee, comprised of elected officials and staff members of the four agencies, plus local private pumpers, and a technical advisory committee with representatives from the four agencies, the private pumpers and a neutral consultant provide by DWR. The policy committee meetings are open to the public and are frequently attended by agricultural pumpers, local business owners, local residents, and tribal members, attorneys and technical consultants of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians.

Water Outreach Public Information Programs hosted by EMWD have been held at a local restaurant in Hemet in October 2001 and August 2002 to discuss the progress of the Groundwater and Technical Committees in the development of a Water Management Plan. 149 Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area

The Watermaster will continue this process of public involvement and community outreach during Management Plan implementation. Meetings of the Watermaster will be public meetings and will, therefore, be subject to the Brown Act.

11.11 GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN COMPONENTS AND

CONSISTENCY WITH THE CALIFORNIA WATER CODE
Groundwater management is the planned and coordinated local effort of sustaining the groundwater basin to meet future water supply needs. With the passage of AB 3030 in 1992, local water agencies were provided a systematic way of formulating groundwater management plans (California Water Code, Sections 10750 et seq.). AB 3030 also encourages coordination between local entities through joint-power authorities or MOUs. SB 1938, passed in 2002, further emphasized the need for groundwater management in California. SB 1938 requires AB 3030 groundwater management plans to contain specific plan components to receive state funding for water projects.

The Water Management Plan includes the seven mandatory components that are required to be eligible for the award of certain funds administered by DWR for the construction of groundwater projects or groundwater quality projects. The Plan also addresses the 12 specific technical issues identified in the California Water Code along with the seven recommended components identified in DWR Bulletin 118 (DWR 2003). Appendix I lists the required and recommended components and identifies the specific location within this Plan where the information can be found.

11.12 SCHEDULE
The Plan Implementation Schedule is shown in Table 11.1.

Phase I of the Integrated Recharge and Recovery Program is scheduled to be constructed in two phases, Phase A and Phase B. The schedule for activities related to these phases is shown in Table 11.2.

APPENDIX A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Hemet/San Jacinto Groundwater Management Area
Water Management Plan

SOBOBA BAND OF LUISEÑO INDIANS

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT is entered into by the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians on behalf of itself and its members (collectively, the “Soboba Tribe”); the United States of America solely in its capacity as trustee for the Soboba Tribe (the “United States”); the Eastern Municipal Water District (“EMWD”); the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (“LHMWD”); and The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“MWD”).

ARTICLE 1- RECITALS

1.1 The Soboba Tribe has made claims against EMWD and LHMWD (collectively, the “Local Districts”) for alleged infringement of its water rights in the San Jacinto River (“River”) and the Canyon Sub-basin and the Intake portion of the Upper Pressure Sub-basin associated therewith (collectively “Basin”) in Riverside County, California, and for damages related to historical interference with the Soboba Tribe’s rights and the unauthorized use of its water. Specifically, the Soboba Tribe alleges that the Local Districts, through their longstanding diversion of waters from the River and pumping of Groundwater from the Basin, have interfered with the Soboba Tribe’s water resources and its rights to the beneficial use and enjoyment of the Reservation.

1.2 The Soboba Tribe also has filed a lawsuit against MWD styled Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians v. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, United States District Court Case No. 00-04208 GAF (MANx) (the “Action”). The Action alleges that MWD, by the construction and operation of the San Jacinto Tunnel (the “Tunnel”), has interfered with the Soboba Tribe’s water resources and its rights to the beneficial use and enjoyment of the Reservation.

1.3 The Parties have agreed to settle the Soboba Tribe’s claims on the terms set forth in this Settlement Agreement.
2 1.4 MWD also contends that it has legal indemnification claims and other rights against EMWD for the Action arising out of MWD Board Resolution 3940 (EMWD’s Terms of Annexation into MWD). In 1951, EMWD was created and annexed into MWD for the purposes of resolving claims that MWD’s construction and operation of the Tunnel interfered with local water rights in the Basin and to obtain a supplemental supply of water for the area. The Terms of Annexation required EMWD to resolve potentially conflicting rights to the Tunnel seepage water and that MWD annually credit EMWD for the entire amount of Tunnel seepage, which MWD has done every year since 1951. In exchange for the benefits of being annexed into the MWD service area and the return of the Tunnel seepage water to EMWD, EMWD was required to defend and indemnify Metropolitan from certain claims seeking recovery for loss or injury as a consequence of the Tunnel seepage, specifically including claims brought by the Tribe. In response to the Tribe’s Action, MWD tendered the defense and indemnity of the Tribe’s claims to EMWD, which EMWD declined on the grounds that the Action allegedly exceeded the scope of its obligations under the Terms of Annexation. MWD subsequently filed a third party action against EMWD seeking to enforce the defense and indemnity provisions contained in the Terms of Annexation. EMWD and MWD dispute each other’s contentions.

1.5 EMWD and MWD have agreed as part of this settlement to resolve their dispute over the scope of EMWD’s defense and indemnity obligations to MWD reflected in the EMWD’s Terms of Annexation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 4 - TRIBAL WATER RIGHTS

4.1 Water Rights. The Parties ratify, confirm, declare to be valid and agree not to object to or dispute or challenge in any judicial or administrative proceedings the rights of the Soboba Tribe and the United States solely in its capacity as trustee for the Soboba Tribe, to the water rights set forth in this Section. In so doing, the Parties acknowledge that these rights are 7 the result of bargained for and exchanged concessions, as a result of which the Local Districts have agreed to supply water to the Soboba Tribe if it is unable, except for mechanical failure of its wells, pumps or water facilities, to produce the water to which it is entitled under this Article.

Therefore, the Soboba Tribe shall have the following water rights which shall be held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Soboba Tribe:

A. The prior and paramount right, superior to all others, to pump 9,000 AFA from the Basin for any use on the Reservation and lands now owned or hereafter acquired by the Soboba Tribe contiguous to the Reservation or within the Basin.

B. The Soboba Tribe’s right to pump a total of 9,000 AFA from the Basin is without regard to whether the water was naturally or artificially recharged.

C. In the event the Soboba Tribe is unable, except for mechanical failure of its wells, pumps or water facilities, to produce from its existing wells or equivalent replacements up to 3,000 AFA production from the Canyon Sub-basin and the remainder of its Tribal Water Right from the Intake Sub-basin, subject to Section 4.3.A, the Local Districts shall deliver any shortage to the Soboba Tribe. Any shortage shall be delivered at such locations as the Soboba Tribe and the Local Districts may agree, or if there is no agreement, at the wellheads where the shortage occurred. Such water may be supplied from Local District wells in either the Canyon or Intake Sub-basins, or from other sources. For any water delivered pursuant to this paragraph, the Soboba Tribe shall pay an acre-foot charge equal to its then current cost of production, and any avoided cost of treatment, from the wells where the shortage occurred, assuming pumping lifts equal to the Soboba Tribe’s averages in the respective Sub-basins over the preceding ten years.

4.2 Water Quality. Recharged water placed in the Canyon Sub-basin by Local Districts and/or the WMP and any replacement water delivered to the Soboba Tribe pursuant to Section 4.3.C shall conform to all applicable State water quality regulations and, without prior written approval from the Soboba Tribe, shall neither exceed (1) any Federal or State of California primary or secondary drinking water standards (except with respect to recharged water, turbidity, color, or coliform bacteria) nor (2) 0.3 milligrams per liter (mg/l) boron or 0.05 8 mg/l lithium. Recharged water placed in the Intake Sub-basin by EMWD, LHMWD, and/or the WMP shall conform to all applicable State water quality regulations. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the water quality obligations assumed by Metropolitan for Imported Water set forth in Section 4.4.

4.3 Soboba Tribe’s Water Use. Beginning on the Effective Date, the Soboba Tribe’s right to pump groundwater in the exercise of its Tribal Water Right shall be subject to the following provisions:

A. The Soboba Tribe agrees to limit its exercise of the Tribal Water Right to 4,100 AFA for a period of fifty (50) years commencing with the Effective Date, according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit I to this Settlement Agreement. Should the Soboba Tribe during that period identify a need for water in addition to the Schedule set forth in Exhibit J, the Soboba Tribe shall have the right to purchase water from the WMP at the rate then being charged to the WMP’s municipal producers.

B. Any use of the Tribal Water Right by an individual member of the Soboba Tribe shall be satisfied out of the water resources provided to the Soboba Tribe in this Settlement Agreement.

C. In addition to the limitation in Section 4.3.A, the Soboba Tribe may enter into contracts and options to lease, contracts and options to exchange, or contracts and options to forbear the use of the Tribal Water Right or postpone undertaking new or expanded water uses, provided that any such contract or option for a term greater than five years shall require the approval of the Secretary. Any such water thereby made available to others shall only be used by participants in, or other users within the area of, the WMP. No contract shall be for a term exceeding one hundred (100) years, nor shall any contract provide for permanent alienation of any portion of the Tribal Water Right.

4.4 Purchase of Imported Water [see definition of Imported Water in Section 2.13 of this Settlement Agreement]. In order to provide water to the Soboba Tribe and to reduce the overdraft of the Basin, EMWD and MWD agree to enter into a contract pursuant to which MWD 9 will sell and EMWD on behalf of the WMP will purchase the Imported Water under the following terms:

A. Price. The Imported Water will be sold by MWD to EMWD at the then prevailing service rate charged by MWD for Untreated Replenishment Water, which rate is reflected in MWD’s Administrative Code at section 4401(a)(2). As of the date this Settlement Agreement is signed by MWD, the service rate for such water is $233 per acre foot. Changes in the rates charged for Imported Water shall be effective the same date that the new rates for Untreated Replenishment Water become applicable to MWD’s member agencies. Should MWD ever discontinue the delivery of Untreated Replenishment Water, the service rate for water supplied pursuant to this contract shall initially be determined by taking the last published service rate for Untreated Replenishment Water and charged to EMWD under this contract. Thereafter, the rate for Imported Water would continue to be adjusted on the same percentage basis as MWD’s service rate for the non-interruptible untreated water deliveries to its member agencies, which adjustments shall become effective on the same date that the new service rates become applicable to MWD’s member agencies.

B. Use. For purposes of the Imported Water only, MWD releases EMWD from all covenants that now, or may in the future, require that water purchased at the service rate for Untreated Replenishment Water be left in the ground or otherwise not used for any period of time.

C. Duration. The contract shall commence upon the Effective Date and will expire on December 31, 2035. EMWD and MWD agree to negotiate in good faith a possible extension of this water sale contract for an additional period which, when added to the original term expiring on December 31, 2035, would provide for a total term of 50 years. In determining whether or not to extend the term of this contract for this additional period, MWD will consider the current status of its replenishment water program, the status of MWD’s State Water Project contract, the implementation of this Settlement Agreement, and any other information that MWD deems relevant to the possible extension of the water sale contract. Nothing in this paragraph 10 shall be construed to require MWD to extend the water sale contact.

D. Water Quality. Water sold by MWD pursuant to this contract shall be of a quality that is consistent with MWD’s operational and water quality goals. MWD agrees to make Best Efforts to meet water quality objectives set by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board for recharged water being put into the Basin. MWD takes no risks associated with any discrepancy between the water quality obligations assumed by MWD pursuant to this paragraph and water quality standards applicable to recharged water set by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board or other regulatory body.

E. Deliveries. Deliveries under this contract shall not begin until the Effective Date.

Once deliveries are commenced, MWD shall use Best Efforts to deliver 7,500 AFA for the duration of the contract based upon 15-year averages. Annual deliveries shall be calculated on a January 1 to December 31 calendar year and shall be pro rated for any portion of a year during which the contract is in force. MWD reserves the right to deliver water at any time of the year.

MWD shall give EMWD advance notice of Imported Water deliveries as provided for in MWD’s then current Administrative Code and implementing guidelines for replenishment water deliveries, which presently is reflected in section 4514(c) of MWD’s Administrative Code.

F. Point of Delivery. Deliveries shall be made by MWD to EMWD at the connection known as EM-14 or, upon mutual agreement of MWD and EMWD, at one or more additional existing or future connections. The Parties acknowledge that the suspension or termination of deliveries to EM-14 may, at any time, as determined by MWD’s Chief Executive Officer, be required to meet MWD’s operational needs. If deliveries to this location are suspended or terminated, then EMWD and MWD agree to negotiate in good faith to identify an alternative delivery point or points and, if MWD and EMWD are unable to reach agreement, the dispute shall be resolved by the Decree Court.

G. Recharge Facilities. The Local Districts, through the WMP, shall construct, operate, and maintain facilities for artificial Groundwater recharge and banking of the Imported Water. Said facilities shall be sufficient to accommodate a flow rate of 42 cubic feet per second 11 and to store up to 40,000 acre feet of Imported Water in the Basin. MWD shall have a paramount right to use capacity in the Recharge Facilities sufficient to accommodate a flow rate of 42 cubic feet per second and a paramount right to store up to 40,000 acre feet of Imported Water to meet its obligations under this Settlement Agreement, provided that MWD’s sole remedy if the required storage capacity is not made available is to reduce its obligation by the amount of water that it was prepared but unable to deliver due to the lack of storage capacity. MWD’s obligations under this Section 4.4 shall not arise until the Recharge Facilities are capable of meeting the capacity and storage requirements set forth in this paragraph.

H. Postponed Deliveries. EMWD shall have the right to postpone deliveries during periods when the Recharge Facilities are not capable of meeting the capacity and storage requirements set forth in Section 4.4.G, provided that each of the following four conditions are met: (i) the inability to meet capacity and storage requirements is the result of events beyond the control of the Local Districts and/or the WMP; (ii) the inability to meet capacity and storage requirements is not the result of negligence on the part of the Local Districts and/or the WMP; (iii) the inability to meet capacity and storage requirements is not the result of water quality limitations that are more restrictive than those established pursuant to Section 4.4.D, and (iv) that the Local Districts use Best Efforts to make necessary repairs and/or take other actions necessary to make the Recharge Facilities fully operational.
(1) If the conditions for postponed deliveries are met as required herein, MWD shall make up such deferred deliveries at a later time, to the extent that MWD has Untreated Replenishment Water available.
(2) If the conditions for postponed deliveries are not met as required herein, then MWD’s obligation to deliver water shall be reduced by the amount of water that MWD was prepared to deliver, subject to the 42 cubic feet per second maximum flow rate, and the existence of unused storage capacity up to the 40,000 acre-foot maximum.

I. Pre-Deliveries. MWD shall have complete discretion concerning use of the 40,000 acre feet of storage capacity for the pre-delivery of Imported Water, including the right 12 not to use such capacity. As such, MWD makes no commitments to pre-deliver any amount of Imported Water.

4.5 Funding for Infrastructure. In accordance with the Act, the United States shall establish in the Treasury of the United States a fund in the amount of $10,000,000, managed by the Secretary of the Interior, which may be drawn upon by EMWD to pay or reimburse costs associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining that portion of the Recharge Facilities necessary to accommodate deliveries of the Imported Water.

4.6 Land Transfer.

A. EMWD Property. In settlement of the Action, EMWD shall place into escrow a warranty deed conveying to the Soboba Tribe in fee all of the property presently owned by EMWD at Domenigoni Parkway and Highway 79, consisting of approximately 106 acres which is described and illustrated in Exhibit J to this Settlement Agreement. The escrow instructions shall provide that the warranty deed shall be delivered to the Soboba Tribe by close of business on the first business day following the Effective Date.

B. MWD Property. In settlement of the Action, MWD shall place into escrow a warranty deed conveying to the Soboba Tribe in fee property presently owned by MWD at Domenigoni Parkway and Patterson Avenue, consisting of approximately 21.7 acres which is described and illustrated in Exhibit K to this Settlement Agreement. The escrow instructions shall provide that the warranty deed shall be delivered to the Soboba Tribe by close of business on the first business day following the Effective Date.

C. The Secretary shall accept into trust for the benefit of the Tribe the lands conveyed to the Tribe pursuant to this Section.

D. Use of Property. Management and development by the Soboba Tribe of the lands transferred by this paragraph shall comply with all applicable Federal law. Any regulation by the Soboba Tribe of the environment on, under or above such lands that impacts MWD’s operations, including but not limited to its operations related to Diamond Valley Reservoir, shall be consistent with, and no more stringent than, comparable regulation by the United States and the 13 State of California.

4.7 Development Funds.

A. Local Districts. No later than 120 days after the Effective Date and before any funds are released to the Local Districts under Section 4.5, the Local Districts shall pay to the Soboba Tribe the sum of $17,000,000 plus interest at the average daily prime rate (as reported by the Wall Street Journal) plus two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) per annum from the Effective Date until paid. These funds are determined to be non-trust funds and shall be managed by the Soboba Tribe in its sole discretion. The United States shall have no responsibility with respect to the funds provided to the Soboba Tribe pursuant to this paragraph.

B. United States. In accordance with the Act, the United States shall establish in the Treasury of the United States a trust fund in the amount of $11,000,000, managed by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 (25 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.) and this Settlement Agreement. There shall be no expenditures from the trust fund until the conditions in Section 3.1 are fulfilled. (1) Investment of the Fund. The Secretary shall invest amounts in this fund in accordance with the Act of April 1, 1880 (21 Stat. 70, ch. 41, 25 U.S.C. 161), the first section of the Act of June 24, 1938 (52 Stat. 1037, ch. 648, 25 U.S.C. 162a), and this paragraph. (2) Fund Uses. This fund may be drawn upon by the Soboba Tribe with the approval of the Secretary to pay or reimburse costs associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining water and sewage infrastructure or other water-related development projects.

4.8 Other Terms.

A. The Local Districts, with the cooperation of other Groundwater producers in the Basin, shall develop and implement a WMP for the Basin that will address the current Basin overdraft, and recognize and take into account the Tribal Water Right. The WMP shall not be final or deemed effective for the purposes of this Settlement until it is approved by the Soboba Tribe and the United States. No implementation or subsequent modification of the WMP shall threaten or adversely affect the rights of the Soboba Tribe hereunder, and the Soboba Tribe and 14 the United States reserve the right under the continuing jurisdiction of the Decree Court to litigate any such issue.

B. EMWD will credit to the Soboba Tribe the sum of $1,000,000 to be deducted from the cost of water and sewage financial participation fees (connection fees) and similar fees charged by EMWD for any property owned by the Soboba Tribe within EMWD’s then existing service area for which service is sought pursuant to an agreement for service between the Soboba Tribe and EMWD. The Soboba Tribe and EMWD agree to negotiate in good faith concerning any future agreement for service which shall be funded in whole or in part by the credit established pursuant to this paragraph.

C. LHMWD will make available for habitat preservation and/or environmental mitigation purposes property it owns in the San Jacinto River bed, consisting of approximately 12 acres which is described and illustrated in Exhibit L to this Settlement Agreement. This property shall be used for habitat preservation and/or environmental mitigation to assist in meeting the requirements of applicable Federal and State environmental laws relating to the Recharge Facilities.

D. In consideration for the benefits received under this Settlement Agreement, the Soboba Tribe shall make available, without transfer of title, up to 98 acres of land for habitat preservation and/or environmental mitigation to assist in meeting the requirements of applicable Federal and State environmental laws relating to the Recharge Facilities. The area from which the Soboba Tribe, in consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, will select the land to be used for these purposes is described and illustrated in Exhibit M of this Settlement Agreement.

E. The Soboba Tribe agrees to provide the Local Districts with all information reasonably available to the Soboba Tribe that the Local Districts and the Soboba Tribe agree is required to implement this Settlement Agreement and the WMP.

F. MWD shall not be joined in any legal proceeding to enforce the Tribal Water Right described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3 or which concerns the duties and obligations 15 reflected at Section 4.8, paragraphs A through E, unless said proceeding relates to MWD’s failure to perform its obligations to deliver water set forth in Section 4.4.

Exhibit A – Soboba Settlement Act
SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Settlement Act’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.– The Congress finds the following–
(1) The Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians is a federally-recognized Indian tribe whose Reservation of approximately 6,000 acres, extending east and north from the banks of San Jacinto River in Riverside County, California, was created by an Executive Order of June 19, 1883, and enlarged and modified by subsequent Executive Orders, purchases, and an Act of Congress.
(2) The Tribe’s water rights have not been quantified, and the Tribe has longstanding unresolved claims for interferences with the water resources of its Reservation, which the Tribe maintains have rendered much of the Tribe’s Reservation useless for habitation, livestock, or agriculture. On April 20, 2000, the Tribe filed a lawsuit against The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for interference with the Tribe’s water resources and damages to its Reservation allegedly caused by Metropolitan’s construction and operation of the San Jacinto Tunnel, which is part of the Colorado River Aqueduct. The lawsuit, styled Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians v. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, No. 00-04208 GAF (MANx), is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
(3) The Tribe also has made claims against Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District, located adjacent to the Reservation, seeking to secure its water rights and damages arising from alleged past interference with the Tribe’s water resources.
(4) Recognizing that the final resolution of its water rights and claims through litigation will take many years and entail great expense to all parties, continue to limit the Tribe's access to water with economic, social, and cultural consequences to the Tribe, prolong uncertainty as to the availability of water supplies, and seriously impair the long-term economic planning and development of all parties, the Tribe and non-Indian entities have sought to settle their water-related disputes and reduce the burdens of litigation.
(5) After negotiations, which included participation by representatives of the Tribe, the United States, The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Eastern Municipal Water District, and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District, the parties have entered into a Settlement Agreement to determine the Tribe’s water rights, resolve all of its claims for interference with the water resources of, and damages to, its Reservation, and provide for the construction of water projects to facilitate the exercise of the Tribe's rights.
(6) Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District acknowledge and assure the Tribe’s prior and paramount right, superior to all others, to pump 9,000 acre-feet of water annually from the San Jacinto River basin. To provide water to the Tribe and to reduce the overdraft of the basin, the two water districts and The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will contract to import and recharge supplemental water supplies into the basin. The water districts also will make substantial additional contributions to the settlement, including the conveyance of certain replacement lands and economic development funds to the Tribe, to carry out the Settlement Agreement's provisions.
(7) It is appropriate that the United States participate in the implementation of the Settlement Agreement, and contribute funds to enable the Tribe to use its water entitlement in developing its Reservation, and to assist the neighboring nonIndian entities in the construction, operation, and maintenance of the facilities required to recharge the imported water.
(b) PURPOSES.– The purposes of this Act are–
(1) to approve, ratify, and confirm the Settlement Agreement entered into by the Tribe and non-Indians entities;
(2) to authorize and direct the Secretary of the Interior to execute and perform the Settlement Agreement and related waivers;
(3) to authorize the actions, agreements, and appropriations as provided in the Settlement Agreement and this Act.

Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

PRINCIPLES FOR WATER MANAGEMENT

1. Water Management Plan. These Principles, approved by the appropriate authority of each party, are intended to form the basis from which the parties will develop a Water Management Plan (“Management Plan”) for the area described in Section 2. The Management Plan is being developed to ensure an adequate and reliable source of future water supply.

The Management Plan is also intended to facilitate and accommodate a settlement of the claims of the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians (“Soboba Tribe”).

2. Management Area. The area included in the Management Plan consists of the Canyon Sub-basin and the San Jacinto Upper Pressure Subbasin, downstream to Bridge Street, and the Hemet Basins (“Management Area”). The Management Area is shown upon the attached map.

3. Pumpers within the Management Area. The primary pumpers within the Management Area are: Eastern Municipal Water District (“Eastern”), Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (“Lake Hemet”), City of San Jacinto (“San Jacinto”), and City of Hemet (“Hemet”) (individually RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -1-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
“Public Agency,” collectively “Public Agencies”); the Soboba Tribe (not a Management Plan participant); and approximately 62 individual agricultural and other private pumpers who pump more than 25 acre-feet per year (“Private Pumpers”).

4. Goals. The parties agree that the Management Plan shall incorporate and serve to implement the following goals:

A. Allowing for Future Urban Growth. The parties
acknowledge that the Management Area will continue to experience residential, commercial, and industrial growth and development, and that existing water production and service systems will need to be expanded to meet this growth. It is estimated that at least 15,000 afy incremental water supply capacity over the existing base production rights of the Public Agencies must be dedicated to adequately serve this growth. The Management Plan should serve and provide a clear planning process so that each affected Public Agency will be able to meet these projected growth needs.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -2-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
B. Water Quality Protection. Implementation of the
Management Plan should protect and/or enhance Management Area water quality. However, implementation of certain elements of the Management Plan may cause limited localized water quality degradation. If such degradation impedes the then current beneficial use of any Public Agency in the Management Area, the Watermaster described in Section 22 (“Watermaster”) shall implement appropriate mitigation measures to ensure water supply to the affected Public Agency and bear the associated costs.

The standards for local water quality degradation shall be defined in the Management Plan.

C. Cost-Effective Management. The Management Plan
should serve to support the pursuit of cost-effective water supply and water treatment by the Public Agencies, both individually and collectively.

D. Overdraft. The groundwater levels within the
Management Area have generally been declining for a number of years, and the Management Area is presently in a condition of overdraft. It is recognized that the Management Plan will, within a reasonable period, eliminate groundwater overdraft and enhance operational yield by RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -3-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
implementing a combination of available water resources management elements. These elements include: reduction in native groundwater production; enhanced recharge with native, imported and/or recycled water; development of supplemental supplies such as imported and recycled water; and water conservation programs.

E. Monitoring. The Watermaster shall implement a
monitoring program to ensure the Management Plan activities follow best management and engineering principles to protect Management Area water resources.

5. Public Agencies Base Production Rights.

A. The base production rights of Eastern, Lake Hemet and Hemet in the first year of the Management Plan shall be based upon their average production for calendar years 1995-1999. This period was chosen to reflect these Public Agencies’ recent pumping, and shall determine their base production rights.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -4-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
B. The base production right of San Jacinto in the first year of the Management Plan, shall be based upon its average production for calendar years 1995-1999, plus 500 afy. The 500 afy is added because San Jacinto’s recent production does not reflect its historic production because of water purchases and other factors.

C. Pursuant to Section 21 below, for the life of the
Management Plan, Hemet and San Jacinto shall each add an additional 900 afy to their base production rights. The additional 900 afy shall not be subject to reduction by the Watermaster as provided in Section 5.D and shall not be subject to any Administrative or Replenishment Assessments as provided in Section 6, or other fee or charge imposed under the Management Plan.

D. It is the goal of the Management Plan to adjust base production rights over time to a level consistent with the Watermaster’s calculation of the Public Agencies' share of safe yield for the Management Area. Based on current information, it appears that the total reduction in base production rights will need to be approximately 35%. The ultimate reduction will be based on periodic demand, hydrology, recharge and RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -5-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
availability of imported water. In order to implement this reduction in a phased manner, each Public Agency's base production rights shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(1) A 10% reduction from the base production rights
in the first year of the Management Plan; and
(2) Until base production rights are consistent with the Public Agencies’ share of safe yield, Watermaster shall determine the reductions in base production rights in each subsequent year of the Management Plan, to achieve this goal within 6 years of approval of the Management Plan. Each reduction shall not be more than 10% of the base production right of the prior year.
(3) Pursuant to Section 7(A)(2)(b), upon conversion of
a Class B Participant's land from agricultural to a use that requires water service from a Public Agency, the Public Agency shall receive an increase in its base production rights equal to the adjusted base production right of the Class B Participant.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -6-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

6. Public Agency Production Assessments. The Public Agency production will be subject to the following assessments:

A. An Administrative Assessment on each acre-foot pumped by a Public Agency up to its adjusted base production right. The parties contemplate that the Administrative Assessment will be $50.00 per acre-foot of water pumped in the first year of the Management Plan, and that such amount will thereafter be set by the Watermaster.

B. A Replenishment Assessment on each acre-foot pumped
by a Public Agency in excess of its adjusted base production right equal to the cost of providing a like quantity of supplemental water to recharge the Management Area, including recharge losses. Pumping by a Public Agency in excess of its adjusted base production right in order to meet increasing demands is expected and permissible, provided that such excess extractions shall be subject to the Replenishment Assessment. The costs of providing a like quantity of supplemental water shall include the costs of water, O&M costs of the replenishment system, capital recovery and other administrative costs. Currently, the total of these cost items is estimated to be in the range RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -7-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
of $300 to $400 per acre-feet; the actual amount will reflect the costs at the time incurred.

7. Private Pumpers Water Rights. The Public Agencies recognize the overlying water rights of the Private Pumpers, and do not intend to take or adversely impact these rights without an agreement with the owner of such rights. The Management Plan will lay out alternatives for the retention, protection, or transfer of such rights, leaving selection of the alternative to the individual overlying water rights owner. A Private Pumper can elect not to participate in the Management Plan and not to formally acknowledge its existence. Such Pumpers shall be referred to herein as “Non-Participants”; such Pumpers shall continue to exercise whatever water rights they may hold under California law unaffected by the Management Plan. There is no intent to affect water use that is consistent with the historical use of the Private Pumpers. However, other pumpers under the Management Plan do not waive their rights to challenge new or expanded water rights. NonParticipants will not have the option of joining the program at a later date.

The alternatives available to participants are as follows:

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -8-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
A. (1) Class A Participation. A Private Pumper can elect to sign a written agreement acknowledging the existence of the Management Plan. Such Pumper shall be a Class A Participant and shall be entitled to vote for and/or be elected to serve as the Private Pumper representative on the Management Plan’s governing board or body described in Paragraph 22 below, but shall not otherwise be required to participate in the Management Plan implementation. A Class A Participant may, without any financial assessment by the Watermaster, pump from his/her/its property within the Management Area the amount of water that can be put to reasonable and beneficial use on the Pumper’s land as may be authorized under California law. Class A Participants shall have the right to convert to Class B Participation during a grace period that shall end three (3) years after the effective date of the Management Plan, as approved by a judgment of the Superior Court for Riverside County, upon payment of the total assessments the Pumper would have paid had the Pumper elected to be a member of Class B from the outset, plus interest.
(2) Class B Participation. A Private Pumper can
become a Class B Participant by electing to limit annual pumping to the Pumper’s average annual production during the calendar years 1995 through RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -9-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
1999 and to pay replenishment assessments on amounts in excess of that average annual production. A Class B Participant shall enjoy the following benefits of Plan Participation:
a. Vote for and/or be elected to serve as the
Private Pumper’s representative on the Management Plan’s Governing Board;
b. Upon conversion of Pumper’s land from
agricultural use to a use that requires water service from a participating Public Agency, Public Agency shall credit to the extent legally permissible, Pumper or Pumper’s successor-in-interest’s adjusted production right, using the formula in Section 5 towards satisfaction of any requirement then in effect for water supply assessment requirements. Furthermore, Pumper or Pumper’s successor-in-interest shall be given a credit for Pumper’s adjusted production right using the formula in Section 5 towards any fees associated with water supply that the Public Agency may then have in effect. The Public Agency serving the converted land shall receive a credit to its production right as set forth in Section 5.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -10-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
c. To the extent the Pumper’s land is not
covered under Section 7(A)(2)(b), Pumper will be eligible to enter into a contract with the Management Plan, or a participating Public Agency, to sell for a defined period of time some portion of Pumper’s adjusted production right, under terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the Pumper and the Management Plan. Criteria used in consideration of such contract shall include:
(i) Management Plan’s need to acquire
additional water supplies to address Basin overdraft and recovery; (ii) Submission of a water conservation
plan, including use of in lieu water, by Pumper that will reasonably guarantee conservation of water that would otherwise be produced from the Basin;
(iii) Public policy considerations of local
government jurisdictions, including economic and land use impacts of proposed water conservation plan.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -11-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
B. In-Lieu Water Use. In the event a Private Pumper (or successor) receives recycled and/or imported water from a Public Agency to serve an overlying use in place of groundwater, or otherwise engages in an in-lieu program, the overlying water right of the Private Pumper (or successor) shall not be diminished by the receipt and use of such recycled and/or imported water or by engaging in an in-lieu program.

C. Well Monitoring. To become a Class A or B Participant, a Private Pumper shall authorize the metering of the Pumper’s well(s) and the collection of groundwater level and quality data, and the reading thereof by Management Plan personnel. The metering and reading shall be at no cost to the Pumper, and the Pumper shall receive copies of the reports and information obtained upon request.

D. Future Production Participation. Any new Pumper after the effective date of the Management Plan, as approved by a judgment of the Superior Court for Riverside County, can only participate as a Class A Participant as described in Section 7A(1).

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -12-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
E. Replacement Wells. The redrilling of existing wells and the drilling of new wells to replace existing wells will not be considered new private production.

8. Capital Facilities. Each Public Agency shall continue to own its existing capital facilities for water management. However, capital facilities may be jointly constructed and owned by the Management Plan.

Joint financing of such facilities may be funded by regional capital fees, loans and grants, contributions for storage by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“Metropolitan”) or other third-parties, and municipal bonds. Responsibility for the costs of any existing and future capital facility of the Management Plan should be apportioned among the Public Agencies based on relative benefit to be derived by each Public Agency. Any of the participating Public Agencies may propose projects to be included in the Management Plan to increase Management Area water supply. Such proposals, after evaluation by the Watermaster, shall be included or rejected. If the Watermaster chooses to reject the proposal, the proposing Public Agency may implement the rejected project as long as it does not significantly impact the implementation of the Management Plan and/or interfere with the ongoing production by the Public Agencies.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -13-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

9. Soboba Tribe’s Water Rights. The Soboba Tribe’s water rights shall be determined as part of a settlement among the Soboba Tribe, the United States, Eastern, Lake Hemet and Metropolitan. Major points of the proposed settlement are:

A. The Soboba Tribe shall have a senior, prior right in the Canyon and San Jacinto Upper Pressure Sub-basins of 9000 afy, but its use shall be limited to a maximum of 4100 afy during the first 50 years after the effective date of the settlement.

B. The Soboba Tribe shall have the right to purchase
replenishment water for use pursuant to the Principles of Settlement at the Management Plan replenishment rate.

C. The Soboba settlement provides that, among other things, Metropolitan will use its best efforts to deliver sufficient water to yield a 15- year average of 7,500 afy to the Management Plan until 2035 at its longterm interruptible rate (currently $233/af).

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -14-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
D. Subject to full funding of the settlement by the United States, the Management Plan shall pay the Soboba Tribe $10 million.

E. The Management Plan will also pay the Soboba Tribe $7 million. A Public Agency's payment of its share of this amount is optional, but in order to obtain the benefits of the low-cost Metropolitan water delivered pursuant to the settlement, a Public Agency shall pay its share of this amount.

F. The Management Plan will receive $10 million for
capital improvements from the United States, and all unused Soboba Tribe water based on the Public Agency's participation in the payment in Section 9(E) above.

10. Implementation of These Principles. These Interim Principles for Water Management shall be used by the parties as a basis for the preparation of the Management Plan, and a stipulated judgment in a water rights adjudication. As explained below, the Management Plan shall be administered by the Watermaster. The Watermaster will be under the continuing jurisdiction of the Court.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -15-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

11. Assessment Program. The assessment program contemplated by the Management Plan shall be administered by the Watermaster subject to the governance provisions herein. All payments shall be made to the Watermaster and shall be maintained in a separate restricted fund. All assessments shall be used exclusively to acquire imported, recycled or Metropolitan water for the recharge of the Management Area, and for the facilities and operational and administrative expenses associated with the assessment and recharge programs. Subject to Management Plan approval, assessments may also be used by affected parties to acquire and deliver water for direct use by the parties, in lieu of pumping.

12. Replenishment Program. The replenishment program
contemplated by the Management Plan shall also be administered by the Watermaster. The program shall include: the acquisition of supplemental water supplies (including imported, recycled and Soboba Tribe water); the expenditure of assessments; the recharge of the Management Area; and the construction and operation of all necessary facilities, including but not limited to, development of surface and sub-surface percolation and injection facilities. Priority for replenishment will be based on an equitable RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -16-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
apportionment of available replenishment water among the sub-basins after full consideration of: the Public Agency's participation in the payment in Section 9(E) above; the Management Area conditions; water demands; the availability of storage capacity to accommodate the recharge of natural flows; the availability of appropriate conveyance facilities; and the availability of replenishment or imported water. The Watermaster is encouraged to take advantage of surplus imported water that occasionally may be available at low cost, and to use available assessment funds to bank such recharge against future pumping in excess of adjusted production rights.

13. Rights to Groundwater. Groundwater in the Management Area may occur from: natural recharge; spreading operations of natural flows; replenishment with imported, recycled or Metropolitan water acquired with assessment funds; or in-lieu recharge programs financed with assessment funds. All such groundwater shall be available to support the pumping of the parties as allowed herein, and shall not be the property of any individual party, subject to the provisions of Section 14.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -17-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

14. Storage Rights. The parties recognize that unused storage capacity exists in the Management Area, and the Management Plan contemplates that this capacity will be managed conjunctively with available imported and recycled water supplies. Subject to availability of the Management Plan fund for assessments and unused storage capacity as determined by Watermaster, the Management Area will be recharged and water stored therein when such supplies are available, and drawn upon by the Public Agencies in dry years when such supplemental water supplies may not be available. In addition, unused storage capacity as determined by Watermaster may be used for “put and take” operations of recycled or imported water that is paid for by any party to the Management Plan provided that:

A. Such operations do not interfere with the rights of any other pumper, or with the use of the storage capacity for recharge and storage under the Management Plan;
B. Water available for recharge is purchased first, as
needed, for the Management Plan;
RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -18-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
C. Later recovery of stored water shall exclude losses; and D. Such recovered water may be used anywhere within the service area of the party.

Any conjunctive use programs for the benefit of territory outside of the Management Area shall be subject to the governance provisions herein. Any storage, conjunctive use programs by third parties or in-lieu recharge programs financed with assessment funds shall be subject to the governance provisions herein.

15. Spreading Operations. The Public Agencies shall
independently or jointly operate their respective facilities to maximize the existing spreading and recharge operations of natural flow in the Management Area.

16. Recharge Water Quality. Consistent with Section 4(E) above all water used to replenish any sub-basin in the Management Area shall meet the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, and may be used in any sub-basin where such requirements are met.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -19-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

17. Recharge Losses. The accounting for storage recharge of the Management Area shall not include any water that escapes therefrom and migrates downstream beyond the Management Area. Losses will be calculated based upon best engineering principles.

18. Recycled Water. The use of recycled water can be of substantial benefit in providing additional water in the Management Area.

Each Public Agency may implement a recycled water program, including the ownership, operation and construction of all necessary facilities, and the application for and administration of any loan or grant applications. The Management Plan will support loan or grant applications, and the Public Agencies will work to integrate recycled water into the Management Plan to the extent economically feasible while meeting regulatory standards.

Subject to existing recycled water contracts, the Management Plan will have a first right of refusal to purchase excess recycled water for recharge.

Priority shall be given to Management Area recharge for the use of recycled water which originates therefrom.

19. Export. The Public Agencies may export water outside the Management Area, on a temporary basis, upon approval by the Watermaster.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -20-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management
However, any water exported shall be replenished with an appropriate amount of similar or better quality water as determined by Watermaster.

Also, water exports by the Public Agencies shall not interfere with the Management Plan or any other Public Agency's operations. The Management Plan will set forth the specific criteria for the export of water, including, but not limited to, conjunctive use programs.

20. Credits. Recharge credits documented before the Management Plan shall be calculated pursuant to the Management Plan. Future recharge credits shall be established by replenishment of water or by not exercising the full, adjusted base production right, and shall be calculated pursuant to the Management Plan.

21. Tunnel Seepage, Stream Diversions, Fruitvale To resolve Eastern’s use of Tunnel seepage, Lake Hemet’s stream diversions and Eastern’s use of Fruitvale water, 900 afy shall be added to Hemet’s adjusted base production and 900 afy shall be added to San Jacinto’s adjusted base production right as discussed in Section 5 above. This is intended to provide Hemet and San Jacinto a fair share of water from these disputed issues.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -21-
Exhibit E – Principles for Water Management

22. Governance. The Management Plan will be administered by a Watermaster as follows:

A. The governing board of the Watermaster shall consist of one elected official from each of the Public Agencies and one Private Pumper representative selected by the Private Pumpers who participate in the Management Plan. Each member shall have one vote.

B. The Watermaster’s duties shall include: determining safe yield; determining replenishment needs; determining annual adjusted base production rights; purchasing and selling imported and recycled water; constructing future capital facilities; establishing assessment rates; initiating necessary conservation and drought management measures; and implementing other responsibilities identified in the Management Plan documents.

JUDGMENT AND DECREE
The Court has considered the Settlement Agreement dated , 2004, which permanently resolves the claims of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, (hereinafter “Soboba Tribe”) and the United States appearing for the benefit of the Soboba Tribe for alleged infringement of its water rights in the San Jacinto River and the Canyon Sub-basin and Intake portion of the Upper Pressure Sub-basin associated therewith (collectively “Basin”) in Riverside County, California, and for damages related to historical interference with the Soboba Tribe’s rights and unauthorized use of its water. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Stipulation and Request for Entry of Judgment and Decree.

After consideration of the pleadings and papers filed in this action, the evidence presented by the Parties, and the Stipulation and Request for Entry of Judgment and Decree, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:

1. The Settlement Agreement is hereby approved in its entirety, and this Judgment and Decree incorporates the definitions set forth therein. When used in this Judgment and Decree, the term “United States” shall mean the United States of America acting on behalf of the Soboba Tribe, and in no other capacity except as specifically otherwise provided herein.

2. The Soboba Tribe shall have the right to waters beneath the Soboba Indian Reservation, which shall be held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Soboba Tribe, as follows:

A. The prior and paramount right, superior to all others, to pump 9,000 AFA from the Basin for any use on the Reservation and lands now owned or hereafter acquired by the Soboba Tribe contiguous to the Reservation or within the Basin.

B. The Soboba Tribe’s right to pump a total of 9,000 AFA from the 1 2

Basin is without regard to whether the water was naturally or artificially recharged.

C. In the event the Soboba Tribe is unable, except for mechanical failure of its wells, pumps or water facilities, to produce from its existing wells or equivalent replacements up to 3,000 AFA production from the Canyon Sub-basin and the remainder of its Tribal Water Right from the Intake Sub-basin, Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (“the Local Districts”) shall deliver any shortage to the Soboba Tribe. Any shortage shall be delivered at such locations as the Soboba Tribe and the Local Districts may agree, or if there is no agreement, at the wellheads where the shortage occurred. Such water may be supplied from Local District wells in either the Canyon or Intake Sub-basins, or from other sources. For any water delivered pursuant to this paragraph, the Soboba Tribe shall pay an acre-foot charge equal to its then current cost of production, and any avoided cost of treatment, from the wells where the shortage occurred, assuming pumping lifts equal to the Soboba Tribe’s averages in the respective Sub-basins over the preceding ten years.

3. Beginning on the Effective Date of the Settlement Agreement, the Soboba Tribe’s right to pump groundwater in the exercise of its Tribal Water Right shall be subject to the following provisions:

A. The Soboba Tribe agrees to limit its exercise of the Tribal Water Right to 4,100 acre-feet annually, for a period of fifty (50) years commencing with the Effective Date of the Settlement Agreement, according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit F of the Settlement Agreement. Should the Soboba Tribe during that period identify a need for water in addition to the Schedule set forth in Exhibit F, the Soboba Tribe shall have the right to purchase water from the Water Management Plan at the rate then being charged to the Water Management Plan’s municipal producers.

B. Any use of the Tribal Water Right by an individual member of the 1 2

Soboba Tribe shall be satisfied out of the water resources provided to the Soboba Tribe in the Settlement Agreement and this Judgment and Decree.

4. The foregoing rights are in full satisfaction of all of the Soboba Tribe’s claims as provided in Article 5 of the Settlement Agreement.

5. This Court retains jurisdiction over this matter and the Parties for the limited and sole purpose of interpretation and enforcement of this Judgment and Decree and the Settlement Agreement.

6. The Action shall be transferred to the United States District Court, Central District of California, Eastern Division.

7. Except as may be included in the payments contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, no Party shall recover any attorney’s fees or costs from any other Party.

8. The Parties have waived their rights to appeal, and therefore, this Judgment and Decree shall become final and nonappealable as of the date it is entered. This Judgment and Decree shall become enforceable as of the date the United States Secretary of the Interior causes to be published in the Federal Register a statement of findings that all actions necessary to make the settlement effective have been completed, as required by Section 10 of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Settlement Act, Public Law ______.

“Public Agency,” collectively “Public Agencies”); the Soboba Tribe (not a Management Plan participant); and approximately 62 individual agricultural and other private pumpers who pump more than 25 acre-feet per year (“Private Pumpers”).

4. Goals. The parties agree that the Management Plan shall incorporate and serve to implement the following goals:

A. Allowing for Future Urban Growth. The parties
acknowledge that the Management Area will continue to experience residential, commercial, and industrial growth and development, and that existing water production and service systems will need to be expanded to meet this growth. It is estimated that at least 15,000 afy incremental water supply capacity over the existing base production rights of the Public Agencies must be dedicated to adequately serve this growth. The Management Plan should serve and provide a clear planning process so that each affected Public Agency will be able to meet these projected growth needs.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -3-
B. Water Quality Protection. Implementation of the
Management Plan should protect and/or enhance Management Area water quality. However, implementation of certain elements of the Management Plan may cause limited localized water quality degradation. If such degradation impedes the then current beneficial use of any Public Agency in the Management Area, the Watermaster described in Section 22 (“Watermaster”) shall implement appropriate mitigation measures to ensure water supply to the affected Public Agency and bear the associated costs.

The standards for local water quality degradation shall be defined in the Management Plan.

C. Cost-Effective Management. The Management Plan
should serve to support the pursuit of cost-effective water supply and water treatment by the Public Agencies, both individually and collectively.

D. Overdraft. The groundwater levels within the
Management Area have generally been declining for a number of years, and the Management Area is presently in a condition of overdraft. It is recognized that the Management Plan will, within a reasonable period, eliminate groundwater overdraft and enhance operational yield by RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -4-
implementing a combination of available water resources management elements. These elements include: reduction in native groundwater production; enhanced recharge with native, imported and/or recycled water; development of supplemental supplies such as imported and recycled water; and water conservation programs.

E. Monitoring. The Watermaster shall implement a
monitoring program to ensure the Management Plan activities follow best management and engineering principles to protect Management Area water resources.

5. Public Agencies Base Production Rights.

A. The base production rights of Eastern, Lake Hemet and Hemet in the first year of the Management Plan shall be based upon their average production for calendar years 1995-1999. This period was chosen to reflect these Public Agencies’ recent pumping, and shall determine their base production rights.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -5-
B. The base production right of San Jacinto in the first year of the Management Plan, shall be based upon its average production for calendar years 1995-1999, plus 500 afy. The 500 afy is added because San Jacinto’s recent production does not reflect its historic production because of water purchases and other factors.

C. Pursuant to Section 21 below, for the life of the
Management Plan, Hemet and San Jacinto shall each add an additional 900 afy to their base production rights. The additional 900 afy shall not be subject to reduction by the Watermaster as provided in Section 5.D and shall not be subject to any Administrative or Replenishment Assessments as provided in Section 6, or other fee or charge imposed under the Management Plan.

D. It is the goal of the Management Plan to adjust base production rights over time to a level consistent with the Watermaster’s calculation of the Public Agencies' share of safe yield for the Management Area. Based on current information, it appears that the total reduction in base production rights will need to be approximately 35%. The ultimate reduction will be based on periodic demand, hydrology, recharge and RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -6-
availability of imported water. In order to implement this reduction in a phased manner, each Public Agency's base production rights shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(1) A 10% reduction from the base production rights
in the first year of the Management Plan; and
(2) Until base production rights are consistent with the Public Agencies’ share of safe yield, Watermaster shall determine the reductions in base production rights in each subsequent year of the Management Plan, to achieve this goal within 6 years of approval of the Management Plan. Each reduction shall not be more than 10% of the base production right of the prior year.
(3) Pursuant to Section 7(A)(2)(b), upon conversion of
a Class B Participant's land from agricultural to a use that requires water service from a Public Agency, the Public Agency shall receive an increase in its base production rights equal to the adjusted base production right of the Class B Participant.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -7-

6. Public Agency Production Assessments. The Public Agency production will be subject to the following assessments:

A. An Administrative Assessment on each acre-foot pumped by a Public Agency up to its adjusted base production right. The parties contemplate that the Administrative Assessment will be $50.00 per acre-foot of water pumped in the first year of the Management Plan, and that such amount will thereafter be set by the Watermaster.

B. A Replenishment Assessment on each acre-foot pumped
by a Public Agency in excess of its adjusted base production right equal to the cost of providing a like quantity of supplemental water to recharge the Management Area, including recharge losses. Pumping by a Public Agency in excess of its adjusted base production right in order to meet increasing demands is expected and permissible, provided that such excess extractions shall be subject to the Replenishment Assessment. The costs of providing a like quantity of supplemental water shall include the costs of water, O&M costs of the replenishment system, capital recovery and other administrative costs. Currently, the total of these cost items is estimated to be in the range RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -8-
of $300 to $400 per acre-feet; the actual amount will reflect the costs at the time incurred.

7. Private Pumpers Water Rights. The Public Agencies recognize the overlying water rights of the Private Pumpers, and do not intend to take or adversely impact these rights without an agreement with the owner of such rights. The Management Plan will lay out alternatives for the retention, protection, or transfer of such rights, leaving selection of the alternative to the individual overlying water rights owner. A Private Pumper can elect not to participate in the Management Plan and not to formally acknowledge its existence. Such Pumpers shall be referred to herein as “Non-Participants”; such Pumpers shall continue to exercise whatever water rights they may hold under California law unaffected by the Management Plan. There is no intent to affect water use that is consistent with the historical use of the Private Pumpers. However, other pumpers under the Management Plan do not waive their rights to challenge new or expanded water rights. NonParticipants will not have the option of joining the program at a later date.

The alternatives available to participants are as follows:

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -9-
A. (1) Class A Participation. A Private Pumper can elect to sign a written agreement acknowledging the existence of the Management Plan. Such Pumper shall be a Class A Participant and shall be entitled to vote for and/or be elected to serve as the Private Pumper representative on the Management Plan’s governing board or body described in Paragraph 22 below, but shall not otherwise be required to participate in the Management Plan implementation. A Class A Participant may, without any financial assessment by the Watermaster, pump from his/her/its property within the Management Area the amount of water that can be put to reasonable and beneficial use on the Pumper’s land as may be authorized under California law. Class A Participants shall have the right to convert to Class B Participation during a grace period that shall end three (3) years after the effective date of the Management Plan, as approved by a judgment of the Superior Court for Riverside County, upon payment of the total assessments the Pumper would have paid had the Pumper elected to be a member of Class B from the outset, plus interest.
(2) Class B Participation. A Private Pumper can
become a Class B Participant by electing to limit annual pumping to the Pumper’s average annual production during the calendar years 1995 through RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -10-
1999 and to pay replenishment assessments on amounts in excess of that average annual production. A Class B Participant shall enjoy the following benefits of Plan Participation:
a. Vote for and/or be elected to serve as the
Private Pumper’s representative on the Management Plan’s Governing Board;
b. Upon conversion of Pumper’s land from
agricultural use to a use that requires water service from a participating Public Agency, Public Agency shall credit to the extent legally permissible, Pumper or Pumper’s successor-in-interest’s adjusted production right, using the formula in Section 5 towards satisfaction of any requirement then in effect for water supply assessment requirements. Furthermore, Pumper or Pumper’s successor-in-interest shall be given a credit for Pumper’s adjusted production right using the formula in Section 5 towards any fees associated with water supply that the Public Agency may then have in effect. The Public Agency serving the converted land shall receive a credit to its production right as set forth in Section 5.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -11-
c. To the extent the Pumper’s land is not
covered under Section 7(A)(2)(b), Pumper will be eligible to enter into a contract with the Management Plan, or a participating Public Agency, to sell for a defined period of time some portion of Pumper’s adjusted production right, under terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the Pumper and the Management Plan. Criteria used in consideration of such contract shall include:
(i) Management Plan’s need to acquire
additional water supplies to address Basin overdraft and recovery; (ii) Submission of a water conservation
plan, including use of in lieu water, by Pumper that will reasonably guarantee conservation of water that would otherwise be produced from the Basin;
(iii) Public policy considerations of local
government jurisdictions, including economic and land
use impacts of proposed water conservation plan.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -12-
B. In-Lieu Water Use. In the event a Private Pumper (or successor) receives recycled and/or imported water from a Public Agency to serve an overlying use in place of groundwater, or otherwise engages in an in-lieu program, the overlying water right of the Private Pumper (or successor) shall not be diminished by the receipt and use of such recycled and/or imported water or by engaging in an in-lieu program.

C. Well Monitoring. To become a Class A or B Participant, a Private Pumper shall authorize the metering of the Pumper’s well(s) and the collection of groundwater level and quality data, and the reading thereof by Management Plan personnel. The metering and reading shall be at no cost to the Pumper, and the Pumper shall receive copies of the reports and information obtained upon request.

D. Future Production Participation. Any new Pumper after the effective date of the Management Plan, as approved by a judgment of the Superior Court for Riverside County, can only participate as a Class A Participant as described in Section 7A(1).

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -13-
E. Replacement Wells. The redrilling of existing wells and the drilling of new wells to replace existing wells will not be considered new private production.

8. Capital Facilities. Each Public Agency shall continue to own its existing capital facilities for water management. However, capital facilities may be jointly constructed and owned by the Management Plan.

Joint financing of such facilities may be funded by regional capital fees, loans and grants, contributions for storage by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“Metropolitan”) or other third-parties, and municipal bonds. Responsibility for the costs of any existing and future capital facility of the Management Plan should be apportioned among the Public Agencies based on relative benefit to be derived by each Public Agency. Any of the participating Public Agencies may propose projects to be included in the Management Plan to increase Management Area water supply. Such proposals, after evaluation by the Watermaster, shall be included or rejected. If the Watermaster chooses to reject the proposal, the proposing Public Agency may implement the rejected project as long as it does not significantly impact the implementation of the Management Plan and/or interfere with the ongoing production by the Public Agencies.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -14-

9. Soboba Tribe’s Water Rights. The Soboba Tribe’s water rights shall be determined as part of a settlement among the Soboba Tribe, the United States, Eastern, Lake Hemet and Metropolitan. Major points of the proposed settlement are:

A. The Soboba Tribe shall have a senior, prior right in the Canyon and San Jacinto Upper Pressure Sub-basins of 9000 afy, but its use shall be limited to a maximum of 4100 afy during the first 50 years after the effective date of the settlement.

B. The Soboba Tribe shall have the right to purchase
replenishment water for use pursuant to the Principles of Settlement at the Management Plan replenishment rate.

C. The Soboba settlement provides that, among other things, Metropolitan will use its best efforts to deliver sufficient water to yield a 15- year average of 7,500 afy to the Management Plan until 2035 at its longterm interruptible rate (currently $233/af).

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -15-
D. Subject to full funding of the settlement by the United States, the Management Plan shall pay the Soboba Tribe $10 million.

E. The Management Plan will also pay the Soboba Tribe $7 million. A Public Agency's payment of its share of this amount is optional, but in order to obtain the benefits of the low-cost Metropolitan water delivered pursuant to the settlement, a Public Agency shall pay its share of this amount.

F. The Management Plan will receive $10 million for
capital improvements from the United States, and all unused Soboba Tribe water based on the Public Agency's participation in the payment in Section 9(E) above.

10. Implementation of These Principles. These Interim Principles for Water Management shall be used by the parties as a basis for the preparation of the Management Plan, and a stipulated judgment in a water rights adjudication. As explained below, the Management Plan shall be administered by the Watermaster. The Watermaster will be under the continuing jurisdiction of the Court.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -16-

11. Assessment Program. The assessment program contemplated by the Management Plan shall be administered by the Watermaster subject to the governance provisions herein. All payments shall be made to the Watermaster and shall be maintained in a separate restricted fund. All assessments shall be used exclusively to acquire imported, recycled or Metropolitan water for the recharge of the Management Area, and for the facilities and operational and administrative expenses associated with the assessment and recharge programs. Subject to Management Plan approval, assessments may also be used by affected parties to acquire and deliver water for direct use by the parties, in lieu of pumping.

12. Replenishment Program. The replenishment program
contemplated by the Management Plan shall also be administered by the Watermaster. The program shall include: the acquisition of supplemental water supplies (including imported, recycled and Soboba Tribe water); the expenditure of assessments; the recharge of the Management Area; and the construction and operation of all necessary facilities, including but not limited to, development of surface and sub-surface percolation and injection facilities. Priority for replenishment will be based on an equitable RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -17-
apportionment of available replenishment water among the sub-basins after full consideration of: the Public Agency's participation in the payment in Section 9(E) above; the Management Area conditions; water demands; the availability of storage capacity to accommodate the recharge of natural flows; the availability of appropriate conveyance facilities; and the availability of replenishment or imported water. The Watermaster is encouraged to take advantage of surplus imported water that occasionally may be available at low cost, and to use available assessment funds to bank such recharge against future pumping in excess of adjusted production rights.

13. Rights to Groundwater. Groundwater in the Management Area may occur from: natural recharge; spreading operations of natural flows; replenishment with imported, recycled or Metropolitan water acquired with assessment funds; or in-lieu recharge programs financed with assessment funds. All such groundwater shall be available to support the pumping of the parties as allowed herein, and shall not be the property of any individual party, subject to the provisions of Section 14.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -18-

14. Storage Rights. The parties recognize that unused storage capacity exists in the Management Area, and the Management Plan contemplates that this capacity will be managed conjunctively with available imported and recycled water supplies. Subject to availability of the Management Plan fund for assessments and unused storage capacity as determined by Watermaster, the Management Area will be recharged and water stored therein when such supplies are available, and drawn upon by the Public Agencies in dry years when such supplemental water supplies may not be available. In addition, unused storage capacity as determined by Watermaster may be used for “put and take” operations of recycled or imported water that is paid for by any party to the Management Plan provided that:

A. Such operations do not interfere with the rights of any other pumper, or with the use of the storage capacity for recharge and storage under the Management Plan;
B. Water available for recharge is purchased first, as
needed, for the Management Plan;
RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -19-
C. Later recovery of stored water shall exclude losses; and D. Such recovered water may be used anywhere within the service area of the party.

Any conjunctive use programs for the benefit of territory outside of the Management Area shall be subject to the governance provisions herein. Any storage, conjunctive use programs by third parties or in-lieu recharge programs financed with assessment funds shall be subject to the governance provisions herein.

15. Spreading Operations. The Public Agencies shall
independently or jointly operate their respective facilities to maximize the existing spreading and recharge operations of natural flow in the Management Area.

16. Recharge Water Quality. Consistent with Section 4(E) above all water used to replenish any sub-basin in the Management Area shall meet the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements, and may be used in any sub-basin where such requirements are met.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -20-

17. Recharge Losses. The accounting for storage recharge of the Management Area shall not include any water that escapes therefrom and migrates downstream beyond the Management Area. Losses will be calculated based upon best engineering principles.

18. Recycled Water. The use of recycled water can be of substantial benefit in providing additional water in the Management Area.

Each Public Agency may implement a recycled water program, including the ownership, operation and construction of all necessary facilities, and the application for and administration of any loan or grant applications. The Management Plan will support loan or grant applications, and the Public Agencies will work to integrate recycled water into the Management Plan to the extent economically feasible while meeting regulatory standards.

Subject to existing recycled water contracts, the Management Plan will have a first right of refusal to purchase excess recycled water for recharge.

Priority shall be given to Management Area recharge for the use of recycled water which originates therefrom.

19. Export. The Public Agencies may export water outside the Management Area, on a temporary basis, upon approval by the Watermaster.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -21-
However, any water exported shall be replenished with an appropriate amount of similar or better quality water as determined by Watermaster.

Also, water exports by the Public Agencies shall not interfere with the Management Plan or any other Public Agency's operations. The Management Plan will set forth the specific criteria for the export of water, including, but not limited to, conjunctive use programs.

20. Credits. Recharge credits documented before the Management Plan shall be calculated pursuant to the Management Plan. Future recharge credits shall be established by replenishment of water or by not exercising the full, adjusted base production right, and shall be calculated pursuant to the Management Plan.

21. Tunnel Seepage, Stream Diversions, Fruitvale To resolve Eastern’s use of Tunnel seepage, Lake Hemet’s stream diversions and Eastern’s use of Fruitvale water, 900 afy shall be added to Hemet’s adjusted base production and 900 afy shall be added to San Jacinto’s adjusted base production right as discussed in Section 5 above. This is intended to provide Hemet and San Jacinto a fair share of water from these disputed issues.

RVLIT\GT\654952.1 -22-

22. Governance. The Management Plan will be administered by a Watermaster as follows:

A. The governing board of the Watermaster shall consist of one elected official from each of the Public Agencies and one Private Pumper representative selected by the Private Pumpers who participate in the Management Plan. Each member shall have one vote.

B. The Watermaster’s duties shall include: determining safe yield; determining replenishment needs; determining annual adjusted base production rights; purchasing and selling imported and recycled water; constructing future capital facilities; establishing assessment rates; initiating necessary conservation and drought management measures; and implementing other responsibilities identified in the Management Plan documents.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 1 This document represents the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) adopted by Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD). The document follows the structure recommended in guidance documents prepared by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The numbering of Sections 1 through 12 corresponds with the numbered sections in the UWMP Guidebook.

Recognizing the need to preserve and protect public health and safety, EMWD’s WSCP applies regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption of potable outdoor and indoor water use during water shortages. EMWD’s WSCP, originally adopted by ordinance, is now Article 10 to Title 5 of EMWD’s Administrative Code. A draft revision of Article 10 to reflect the changes incorporated in this document is attached to this WSCP.

The WSCP is based on the following priorities:
 Public safety, health and welfare
 Sustaining economic vitality
 Quality of life
Restrictions are structured to protect the safety, health and welfare of the public and minimize the impact a water shortage may have on the local economy and quality of life. This is done mainly through the use of EMWD’s allocation-based tiered rate structure, focusing on those customers with wasteful behaviors first and then targeting other customers as a shortage becomes more severe.

This plan addresses actions that EMWD would take as a wholesale supplier and as a retail supplier.

EMWD is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and receives imported water supplies from Metropolitan. Wholesale customers are allocated water using the formula and methodology in Metropolitan’s Water Supply Allocation Plan (WSAP).

For retail customers, over ninety percent of EMWD’s customers are either single-family residential, multifamily residential or landscape customers. These customers are subject to allocation-based tiered rates.

There are four tiers in EMWD’s rate structure; the first two tiers apply to indoor and outdoor use respectively, the third tier is applied to water use up to 50 percent above the Tier 1 and 2 budgets, and Tier 4 is applied to any water use in excess of Tier 3. In times of water shortage, the thresholds for Tiers 2 and 3 are reduced as shortage levels increase. Under the most extreme shortage conditions, no outdoor water use is allowed, and indoor water use may be restricted up to 50 percent.

Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) and agricultural customers must also reduce demand during periods of shortage. These customers face event-driven penalties and could face fines if found violating water use restrictions.

EMWD has prepared this plan and is adopting it alongside its 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). The WSCP is a separate document from the UWMP. EMWD will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this WSCP, and if the need arises to modify this plan, EMWD will follow the update procedures described in Section 12.

This section provides a summary of the supply reliability analysis presented in the UWMP and highlights key issues that could create a shortage condition.

EMWD’s supplies are highly reliable and have proven to be resilient even under drought conditions.

Therefore, under a typical dry year scenario, EMWD would expect little to no impact to the availability of its local supplies. However, EMWD may increase delivers from Metropolitan to account for any increases in demand resulting from the hydrologic conditions. After several dry years, Metropolitan could face reduced supply capabilities during the next five years. If a shortage occurs, Metropolitan may implement its water supply allocation plan for member agencies in order to preserve storage reserves. The WSAP charges significantly higher rates for water deliveries over the allocated amount for each member agency but does not physically limit the volume of deliveries that a member agency may take.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 2 The full reliability analysis is presented in Chapter 7 of EMWD’s UWMP. Although that analysis demonstrates that the region’s urban water supply is reliable, there are potential issues that could create a shortage condition. These include:
 An extended drought more severe than historic events, possibly impacted by climate change  A natural disaster or a malevolent act that disrupts delivery of imported water from the Colorado River or the SWP
 An extended and wide-spread power outage
 Reductions in imported water supply due to environmental restrictions related to endangered species or habitat protection
 Identification of a currently unregulated contaminant that affects the region’s groundwater supply  Regulatory mandates to reduce water use
Water shortage contingency planning provides a way to plan for these risks and anticipate actions that should be implemented to manage the impacts. This plan describes how EMWD intends to respond to such shortage events.

EMWD will be required to prepare an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment, referred to by DWR as the Annual Assessment, and submit it to DWR each year, beginning July 1, 2022. The Annual Assessment is intended to meet requirements of Water Code Section 10632.1 and present an assessment of the likelihood of a water shortage occurring during the next 12 months. This section of the WSCP outlines the procedures that EMWD will use to prepare the Annual Assessment. The procedures defined in this section will allow EMWD to follow a consistent annual procedure for making the determination of whether to activate the WSCP.

The procedures for declaring a shortage are identified in Section 5.1004 of EMWD’s administrative code, which states that,
EMWD’s General Manager shall request the Board of Directors to authorize and implement the provisions of the Plan. The request shall be made at a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, to implement provisions of the Plan. The Board of Directors has the authority to initiate or terminate the water shortage contingency measures described in this Plan.

Decision Making Process
EMWD will use the following procedures in preparing the Annual Assessment.

1. In February and March of each year, EMWD staff will review available data related to anticipated supplies and demands. EMWD staff will coordinate with Metropolitan and with EMWD’s wholesale customers on the regional outlook for water supply reliability.

2. In May of each year, EMWD staff will present a recommendation to the EMWD Board of Directors for approval. The board will approve the determination of supply reliability and will take actions to implement shortage response actions, if needed. The assessment and recommendations for implementation of shortage response actions will be posted publicly in EMWD’s board agenda for the meeting.

3. In June of each year, EMWD will prepare the Annual Assessment with required information and submit it to DWR.

The timeline may be modified to reflect updated information available from Metropolitan. Metropolitan will be preparing its own Annual Assessment each year. The draft WSCP published by Metropolitan describes a process of preparing the Annual Assessment for approval by the Metropolitan Board of Directors in June of each year. EMWD staff would seek to make EMWD’s Annual Assessment reflective of the information provided by Metropolitan.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 3 Data and Methodologies
This section describes the data and methodologies that will be used by EMWD to evaluate water system reliability for the coming year, while considering that the year to follow could be dry.

2.2.1 Evaluation Criteria
EMWD will rely on locally applicable criteria for each Annual Assessment. These criteria will include the annual reports prepared to describe conditions in the groundwater basin and annual updates provided by Metropolitan on its supply reliability.

2.2.2 Water Supply
EMWD’s anticipated supplies will be quantified for the near-term future, and descriptive text will be used to note any anticipated reductions in supply.

2.2.3 Unconstrained Customer Demand
EMWD will prepare an estimate of unconstrained demand (as the term is used in Water Code Section 10632(a)(2)(B)(i)). The estimated demand will be calculated using the demand projection approach described in the UWMP, in combination with updated data for connections, climate, changes in land use, and recent water usage history.

2.2.4 Planned Water Use for Current Year Considering Dry Subsequent Year EMWD will describe the anticipated use of water supplies for the coming year, with the anticipation that the following year will be dry. The supplies will be characterized in a manner consistent with the UWMP, in combination with updated data for climate and recent observations.

2.2.5 Infrastructure Considerations
EMWD will describe any potential infrastructure constraints on the ability to deliver adequate supplies to meet expected customer demands in the coming year. EMWD will show that its system of wells, desalters, filtration plants, pipelines, pump stations, and storage tanks have adequate capacity to deliver the anticipated demands. EMWD will describe any anticipated capital projects that are intended to address constraints in production, treatment, or distribution.

2.2.6 Other Factors
EMWD will describe any specific locally applicable factors that could influence or disrupt supplies. EMWD will also describe unique local considerations that are considered as part of the annual assessment.

Since the preparation of the 2015 UWMP, the California Water Code (CWC) has been amended to define six standard shortage levels. The six standard water shortage levels correspond to progressively increasing estimated shortage conditions (up to 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50- percent, and greater than 50- percent shortage compared to the normal reliability condition). If an agency elects to retain an existing set of shortage levels from its previous WSCP, then the document must provide a crosswalk to relate the existing stages to the six standard stages. This crosswalk is shown in Table 3.

EMWD’s plan addresses these stages in actions it will take as a wholesale supplier and as a retail supplier.

Wholesale Shortage Levels
During mandatory water shortage stages, wholesale customers will be required to reduce their retail water demands such that they are equivalent to EMWD’s retail water demand reductions. If Metropolitan Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 4 imposes limited supply allocations on EMWD and other member agencies, supply to EMWD’s wholesale customers will be allocated using the formula and methodology based on Metropolitan’s WSAP. EMWD will establish base period demands and then adjust them for growth and changes in local supply.

At each stage, wholesale customers will not experience shortages on the wholesale level that are greater than one-and-a-half times the percentage shortage of regional water supplies. The wholesale customers will also not face a retail shortage less than the regional shortage. Credits will be given for conservation and investment in local supplies. Penalty rates apply for use over allocations.

As a wholesale supplier, EMWD will maintain consistency with Metropolitan’s plan where possible. The stages in Metropolitan’s 2020 WSCP are shown in Table 1.

The stages for EMWD’s wholesale plan are shown in Table 2.

NOTES: EMWD has built flexibility into its WSCP. Stages are not directly tied to water supply conditions. The WSCP can be implemented as needed to meet a reduction in demand or to respond to other conditions.

EMWD’s previous WSCP was updated in 2019 and included five stages. EMWD has elected to retain its five shortage stages and provide a crosswalk to relate the existing stages to the six standard shortage levels. Because the existing Levels 3, 4, and 5 include sub-stages, EMWD will be able to better align its shortage levels and response actions with the six standard levels. This crosswalk is shown in Table 3.

The WSCP limits water demand during times of shortage in five stages. These stages can be triggered when there is water deficiency caused by limitations on supply or by limitations on EMWD’s delivery system. The plan shall be implemented in case of a long or short-term water deficiency, or in case of an emergency water shortage.

EMWD will implement an appropriate stage based on current water conditions such as:
 EMWD water supply conditions and storage levels
 Statewide water supply conditions
 Local water supply and demand conditions
 Metropolitan WSAP implementation or other actions requiring a reduction in water demand  Actions of surrounding agencies
Higher stages will be implemented as shortages continue and/or if customer response does not bring about desired water savings.

When implementation of the WSCP is triggered by anticipated limitations in supply or delivery, EMWD’s General Manager shall request the Board of Directors to authorize and implement the provisions of the WSCP. The request shall be made at a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, to implement provisions of the WSCP.

The Board of Directors has the authority to initiate or terminate the water shortage contingency measures described in the WSCP. When a water shortage emergency occurs, the WSCP authorizes the General Manager to declare the extent of a potable water shortage emergency and to implement the appropriate water shortage contingency measures.

EMWD’s retail shortage levels are identified in Table 4. The first two stages of the WSCP are voluntary, while the successive stages are mandatory and include sub-stages to reflect changes to the tiered rate structure.

NOTES: EMWD has built flexibility into its WSCP. Stages are not directly tied to water supply conditions. The WSCP can be implemented as needed to meet a reduction in demand or to respond to other conditions. Levels 3 through 5 include three sub-stages each.

Each level in Table 4 represents an anticipated reduction in the supplies that would normally be available to the agency. These supply reductions could be the result of a variety of potential causes including natural forces, system component failure or interruption, regulatory actions, contamination, or any combination thereof.

The stages involve voluntary and mandatory conservation measures and restrictions, depending on the causes, severity, and anticipated duration of the water supply shortage. The locally appropriate shortage response actions that would be taken at each level to address the resulting gap between supplies and demands are described in the following section.

EMWD’s process for initiating or terminating stages is outlined in Section 5.1007 of EMWD’s Administrative Code, which notes that,
The General Manager will recommend the appropriate stage of response to a water shortage based on the best information available at the time. Conditions that will be considered include:
 EMWD water supply conditions and storage levels
 Statewide water supply conditions
 Local water supply and demand conditions
 Metropolitan Water Supply Allocation Plan implementation or other actions requiring a reduction in water demand
 Actions by surrounding agencies
As water supply conditions either deteriorate or improve, the General Manager will return to the Board to revise the appropriate stage of response. It shall not be necessary to implement any stage prior to another; the stages may be implemented in any reasonable order.

In the event the State or local agencies, through executive action, emergency legislation or other actions, impose conditions, requirements, or procedures that are not included in the EMWD water shortage Contingency Plan, the General Manager is authorized to implement such measures as are reasonably required to bring EMWD’s actions in each stage into functional conformity with such conditions, requirements, or procedures.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 9 The actions in each stage are identified in Section 5.1009 of EMWD’s administrative code and are summarized in Table 5. Table 5 is not a required element of the WSCP but is presented as a consolidated summary of the actions identified in the EMWD administrative code.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 11 This section describes the shortage response actions that would be taken by EMWD at each shortage level. These actions have been grouped into categories including:
 Supply Augmentation Actions
 Demand Reduction Actions and Mandatory Use Restrictions  Operational Changes
Supply Augmentation
For long-range planning, EMWD continues to evaluate opportunities for transfers, exchanges, and other purchases of imported water to increase supply reliability. These programs are described in the supply sections of the UWMP.

Metropolitan’s WSCP identifies actions it has taken to be in a position to augment supplies during dry periods. These actions are summarized in Metropolitan’s WSCP.

EMWD has not identified specific supply augmentation actions that would be taken to address a shortterm water shortage. The standard categories of supply augmentation actions are shown in Table 6.

NOTES:

Demand Reduction Actions and Mandatory Use Restrictions The demand reduction actions that will be implemented at each shortage level are shown in Table 7. The format of Table 7 is based on the standard submittal table defined by DWR. The column titled, “Penalty, Charge, or Enforcement” is a Yes/No field to characterize whether there is a penalty, charge, or enforcement action associated with implementing the demand reduction action. This field is a required field in the standard submittal table defined by DWR.

EMWD utilizes consumption reduction methods to reduce demands for potable water within its service area. EMWD’s methods include supplementing its water conservation program during WSCP implementation and implementing its allocation-based tiered rate billing structure by progressively reducing allocations for tiers as higher stages of the WSCP are implemented. Consumption reduction methods that can be used in EMWD’s service area are summarized in Table 7.

Notes: EMWD has four tiers in its allocation-based tiered rate structure for residential customers. Some non-residential customers are also on an allocation-based rate structure, but these customers have only three tiers. Tier 4 usage for residential customers and Tier 3 usage for non-residential customers are classified as wasteful usage, which is defined as water use exceeding 150% of a customer’s water budget. The current wasteful rate varies across the service area but ranges from $11.62 to $12.75 per hundred cubic feet as of 1/1/2021
Operational Changes
EMWD has identified operational changes that could be made to help address a short-term gap between demands and available supplies. These include:
 Improved monitoring and analysis of customer water usage  Reductions in flushing of hydrants and dead-end lines  Expediting planned system improvement projects that include reduction in water loss (e.g., replacement of water mains that are experiencing higher rates of leaks and breaks) Additional Mandatory Restrictions
EMWD has identified a series of restrictions that will be implemented at different shortage levels. These prohibitions are included in the demand reduction actions in Table 7.

The WSCP prohibitions and reduction methods are organized by customer groups with different limitations on each group. Stages 1 and 2 start with voluntary measures. As the water deficiency increases, measures become mandatory and are intended to lead to the needed reduction in water demand.

The WSCP targets a reduction in demand in specific tiers for single-family residential, multi-family residential and landscape customers. Table 8 summarizes the required reduction in each tier by stage.

5b 30% reduction 100% reduction 100% reduction
5c 50% reduction 100% reduction 100% reduction
In Stage 5, CII customers, agricultural customers and any other customer without a water budget will be assigned a water budget based on historical water use. Allocations will be decreased according to the percentages listed for Stages 5a-5c, and the current Tier 4 rate will be applied to any use above the decreased allocation value.

In order to reduce EMWD’s retail demand in the case of deficiency in water supply, EMWD developed water use efficiency requirements that are to be followed at all times. Additional prohibitions on end uses are implemented at higher stages of water shortage in addition to the on-going water use efficiency requirements. As part of EMWD’s WSCP, voluntary and mandatory water use reductions are expected through the on-going enforcement of the water use efficiency requirements, EMWD’s water allocationbased tiered rates, and penalties for run off. The previous sections summarize the water use efficiency requirements and additional prohibitions for each stage of EMWD’s WSCP. Under the most extreme deficiencies, these prohibitions would reduce demand by more than 50 percent.

Emergency Response Plan
The Water Code requires that an agency’s WSCP address catastrophic water shortages and plans to address them. This information can be addressed in the agency’s Emergency Response Plan (ERP).

Each agency’s ERP can contain sensitive information related to potential vulnerabilities or impacts of natural disasters or malevolent acts. Therefore, these documents are not typically made publicly available.

EMWD is a member of the California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (CalWARN), which supports and promotes emergency preparedness. More information about CalWARN is available at their web site at www.calwarn.org.

EMWD’s process for declaring an emergency water shortage is outlined in Section 5.1004(b) of the EMWD Administrative Code, which notes that
By adopting this Plan, the Board of Directors authorizes the General Manager to declare the extent of a potable water shortage emergency and to implement the appropriate water shortage contingency measures. The General Manager shall report such water shortage conditions and the level of response to the Board of Directors in a timely manner.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 16 The declaration of the Board of Directors shall be made by public announcement and shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation. The declaration shall become effective immediately upon such publication.

To protect EMWD customers in the case of an emergency, EMWD has developed the Water Shortage Emergency Operations Plan (WSEOP). This plan determines the operation response to many types of emergencies. It specifies chain of command and provides the authority to respond. Elements of that response can include interdepartmental staff notification and mobilization; activation of alternative water supply sources (i.e., interagency connections), use of temporary pumping facilities; use of power generators; public notification; and activation of conservation measures. An emergency is defined as any time period when Metropolitan or EMWD facilities are incapable of supplying potable water. An emergency could be caused by a natural disaster such as an earthquake or through facility failures. The WSEOP describes the coordination required between operational staff, management, community involvement staff and other EMWD employees. In addition, communication and cooperation will be required with the community and other agencies such as the Division of Drinking Water and Metropolitan.

In the event that one or more water supply sources are unavailable, remaining sources of supply will be maximized to meet demand. If needed, the WSCP could be implemented to conserve water and reduce demand. If an electrical or gas power outages occur, some of EMWD’s booster facilities have backup generators. Facilities without redundant power sources may be served on a priority basis by portable generators.

EMWD’s service area (retail and wholesale) is dependent on Metropolitan for approximately half of its supply. Metropolitan has prepared for emergencies using a combination of storage, facility design and redundant power sources. Emergency storage requirements are based on the potential for a major earthquake that renders major water transportation facilities out of service for six months. Assuming 100 percent of its supplies are unavailable for six months, Metropolitan has enough water storage to sustain 75 percent of normal year firm deliveries. In the event of a major power outage, water supply can be delivered by gravitational feed from recreational reservoirs, including Diamond Valley Lake Reservoir.

For treatment plants, Metropolitan has backup power generators in place in case of electrical outages.

Additional information about addressing catastrophic supply interruption can be found in Metropolitan’s 2020 UWMP.

Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
Water Code Section 10632.5 requires agencies to assess seismic risk to water supplies as part of their WSCP. The code also requires a mitigation plan for managing seismic risks.

In lieu of conducting their own seismic risk assessment, which can be a lengthy process, suppliers can comply with the Water Code requirement by submitting the relevant local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan.

EMWD participated in the development of the Riverside County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, which was updated in 2018. The Riverside County LHMP is available on the Riverside County web site at https://rivcoemd.org/LHMP.

The Riverside County LHMP includes an assessment of the region’s vulnerability to a broad range of hazards, including earthquakes. It also describes mitigation strategies and actions to reduce the impacts of a seismic event. The other participating agencies continue to include seismic risk assessment in their planning process for system improvements.

EMWD has also prepared a 2017 Hazard Mitigation Plan to describe a risk assessment and mitigation plan for seismic events in its service area.

Shortage Response Action Effectiveness
EMWD has estimated the effectiveness of shortage response actions in terms of relative impact on reducing the gap between expected supplies and demands. These estimates were developed using industry resources and observations from recent operating history at the agency. These estimates have been included in Table 7.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 17 Timely and effective communication is a key element of WSCP implementation. EMWD will need to inform customers, the general public, and other government entities of WSCP actions taken during a water shortage (either one derived from the Annual Assessment, an emergency, or catastrophic event).

EMWD works closely with Metropolitan and neighboring water agencies in implementing communication strategies during water shortages.

The communication protocols to be used by EMWD at each shortage level are summarized in Table 9.

Notes: Communications protocols and processes are cumulative in nature.

Section 5.1002 of the EMWD Administrative Code notes that, EMWD will periodically provide the public with information about the Plan, including conditions under which each stage of the Plan is to be initiated or terminated and the conservation response measures to be implemented in each stage. This information will be provided by means of public events, website, press releases, bill inserts, etc.

Section 5.1008 of the EMWD Administrative Code notes that, When EMWD determines that a potable water shortage condition exists, any or all of the following notification procedures may be implemented:
(a) Notify the general public stakeholders, elected officials and other key decision-makers regarding the situation, actions to be taken, goals customers are intended to achieve, and how these actions will be implemented.
(b) The public at large will be informed of the situation and actions EMWD will be taking.

Communications will occur through any of the following: billing inserts, special mailings, telephone contact, e-mail, social media, roadway signage, water conservation booths, and other booths in the community, speaker’s bureau, community association meetings, newsletters, and education programs, etc. Literature appropriate to the drought circumstance will be provided Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 18 regarding the potable water shortage condition, conservation methods, and water-savings devices.
(c) Use of all forms of media will be employed. This would include public service announcements on radio and cable television, social media as well as earned media and advertisements in local newspapers.
(d) EMWD’s web site, www.emwd.org, will be the central location for messaging and customer communications.

This section describes how EMWD will ensure compliance with and enforce provisions of the WSCP.

Wholesale
Section 5.1011 of the EMWD Administrative Code notes that, During mandatory water shortage stages, wholesale customers will be required to reduce their retail water demand equivalent to EMWD’s retail water demand reduction. If Metropolitan has limited supply allocations to EMWD and other member agencies; supply to wholesale customers may be allocated using a formula and methodology based on the Metropolitan Water Supply Allocation Plan.

Potential penalties for not reducing demand could be up to 4 times the Metropolitan Tier 2 rate.

Retail
For Stages 1 and 2 of the WSCP, demand reduction is voluntary; but it will be encouraged through the on-going enforcement of EMWD’s water budget based tiered rates and penalties for runoff. Stage 3 of the WSCP is focused on a mandatory reduction of excessive water use through following the conserving actions detailed in Stages 1 and 2. Beginning with Stage 3, event-driven penalties can be imposed for violating any of the restrictions in the WSCP.

Demand reductions will be enforced through changes to EMWD’s water budget based tiered rate structure and observation-based penalties. Violations of the water runoff requirement are cumulative over a 12-month period. Table 10 lists penalties for event driven restrictions.

Penalties
The penalties for non-compliance imposed by EMWD are summarized in Table 10.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 19 Appeals and Exemption Process
This section describes the appeals and exemption processes. Where feasible, specific exemptions can be identified and defined. Where not feasible, the process to appeal or obtain an exemption should be detailed.

Section 5.1010 of the EMWD Administrative Code notes that, All variance requests and appeals will be processed according to Section 5, Article 6 – Water Conservation of the Administrative Code.

This section describes the legal authorities that the agency relies upon to implement the shortage response actions and the associated enforcement actions.

EMWD’s Administrative Code provides it with the legal authority to implement the WSCP. The Water Shortage Contingency Plan is portrayed in Chapter 5, Article 10 of the Administrative Code. A draft of Article 10 is attached to this document.

In accordance with Water Code Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 350) of Division 1 general provisions regarding water shortage emergencies, EMWD shall declare a water shortage emergency in the event of a catastrophic interruption in supply.

EMWD shall coordinate with any city or county within which it provides water supply services for the possible proclamation of a local emergency under California Government Code, California Emergency Services Act (Article 2, Section 8558). Including a list of and contacts for all cities or counties for which the Supplier provides service in the WSCP, along with developed coordination protocols, can facilitate compliance with this section of the Water Code in the event of a local emergency as defined in subpart (c) of Government Code Section 8558.

The cities and counties in the EMWD service area are shown in Table 11.

This section describes the anticipated financial consequences to EMWD of implementing the WSCP. The description includes potential reductions in revenue due to lower water sales and increased expenses associated with implementing the shortage response actions.

Potential financial impacts could include
 Reduced revenue from reduced water use
 Increased staff costs for tracking, reporting, patrolling, and enforcing restrictions  Economic impacts associated with water-dependent businesses in the service area Potential mitigation measures include
 Adjusting customer water budgets to increase the volume of water billed at the higher rate  using financial reserves
 reducing operation and maintenance expenses
 deferring capital improvement projects
 reducing future projected operation and maintenance expenses  increasing fixed readiness-to-serve charge
 •increasing commodity charge and water adjustment rates to cover revenue shortfalls  other financial management mechanisms
As a result of a water shortage or emergency situation, there may be a reduction of revenue from water sales. To protect EMWD from financial hardship in such a situation, a financial reserve account (Rate Stabilization Reserve) has been established to meet the fixed costs associated with water delivery that may not be met in the case of reduced water sales.

Potential impacts to EMWD are summarized in Table 12, and potential mitigation measures are summarized in Table 13.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 21 Table 12. Actions and Conditions that Impact Revenue and Expenditures Type Category Description
Reduction in
Revenue
Reduced Water Sales Water sales are approximately 40% of EMWD’s annual revenue. A reduction in the demand of water by 50% would also mean a reduction in revenue from water sales of 50% leaving a shortfall of approximately 20% of EMWD annual revenue. This reduction would be offset in part by a reduction in the cost of water purchased from Metropolitan.

Increase in
Expenditures
Increased Staff Cost Staff costs for implementing the WSCP could vary depending on the stage triggered by a deficiency in water supply. Stages 1 and 2 would probably be implemented with only current staff members. Stages 3 or 4 of the plan may require
additional staff to implement. The amount and level of staff will vary greatly depending on the public’s response to the plan.

Increase in
Expenditures
O&M Cost Operations and maintenance cost may be minimally impacted by the implementation of the WSCP, but these
costs are projected to have minimal impact on EMWD’s total revenue.

Increase in
Expenditures
Cost of Supply and
Treatment
Cost of supply would decrease due to a decrease in demand and would offset some of the costs associated with reduced water sales.

Increase in
Expenditures
Public Outreach Costs Costs associated with informing the public about implementing the WSCP will vary based on the public’s
response and the stage of the plan implemented.

Table 13 Measures to Mitigate Fiscal Consequences
Name of Measure Summary of Effect
Rate Adjustment Part of the WSCP is the ability to impose a penalty rate. This could offset some of the lost revenue due to a decrease in water sales.

Reserve Policy
EMWD, as a matter of policy, keeps a reserve of funds equivalent to 90 days of operational expenses. This reserve fund could be used to mitigate revenue shortfalls.

Rate Stabilization Fund EMWD has a rate stabilization fund available to offset increased costs and decreased sales.

This section describes how the agency will monitor and report on implementation of the WSCP. EMWD will gather data on key water use metrics and use the data to evaluate the effectiveness of response actions in achieving their intended water use reduction purposes. EMWD will also gather data on customer compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of enforcement actions. EMWD will gather and report data at frequencies adequate to meet reporting requirements established by the State Water Resources Control Board and other government agencies.

EMWD will monitor water use by customers using its billing systems and operational control systems to monitor production and consumption. EMWD measures and determines the actual water savings made Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 22 by implementing each stage of the WSCP by relying on water meters that record the production and consumption of water. Each level of the WSCP has an associated target reduction for metered water use.

EMWD will monitor the implementation of this plan to evaluate its effectiveness as an adaptive management tool. The monitoring and reporting program described in Section 9 will provide information on the effectiveness of the shortage response actions during any shortage levels that may be invoked. If EMWD determines that the shortage response actions are not effective in producing the desired results, it will initiate a process to refine the WSCP. EMWD will consider the addition of new shortage response actions, or changing the levels when shortage response actions are implemented. Suggestions for refinements will be collected from agency staff, customers, industry experts, and the general public.

EMWD will work with Metropolitan and EMWD’s wholesale customers to share data and suggestions for refinement to identify opportunities to increase the effectiveness of the WSCP while maintaining alignment with other agencies in the region when possible.

EMWD will review the WSCP’s description of procedures for the Annual Assessment each year while preparing the Annual Assessment and make adjustments as needed.

EMWD has distinguished swimming pools and spas as recreational water features, while non-pool and non-spa water features are considered decorative water features. This distinction is used in the shortage response actions because decorative water features have the potential to use recycled water, while pools and spas (recreational water features) must use potable water for health and safety considerations.

EMWD adopted this WSCP with the 2020 UWMP. The UWMP and WSCP were made available for public review during May of 2021. A public hearing was held on June 30, 2021 to allow public input on the draft UWMP and the WSCP.

EMWD’s board of directors considered adoption of the UWMP and the WSCP at a meeting on June 30, 2021. The resolution of adoption is included as an attachment.

This WSCP will be submitted to DWR through the WUEData portal on or before the deadline of July 1, 2021.

This WSCP will be available to the public on the agency’s web site. Notice will be provided to cities and counties in the service area that the WSCP is available on the agency’s web site.

If EMWD identifies the need to amend this WSCP, it will follow the same procedures for notification to cities, counties and the public as used for the UWMP and for initial adoption of the WSCP. The draft amended WSCP will be made available for public review, and the agency’s governing board will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the draft amended WSCP. Once the agency’s governing board adopts the amended WSCP, the amended plan will be submitted to DWR and the California State Library, and it will be made available to the public and the cities and counties in the service area through placement on the agency’s web site.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Eastern Municipal Water District 23 ARTICLE 10 – WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN1

5.1001 DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES
In accordance with Water Code 10632 requirements, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is responsible for conserving the available water supply, protecting the integrity of water supply facilities (infrastructure), and implementing a contingency plan in times of drought, supply reductions, failure of water distribution systems or emergencies. Particular emphasis is placed on use of domestic (potable) water, sanitation, fire protection, and preserving public health, welfare, and safety, in addition to minimizing the adverse impacts of water supply shortage or other water supply emergency conditions that do not include recycled water.

Therefore, EMWD hereby adopts regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption of water use during water shortages.

Financial Impacts
In the event that EMWD was to implement the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (the Plan), it is recognized that the reductions in sales would impact the revenues that would normally be generated. To the extent that this reduction negatively impacts the coverage of its fixed related costs (those that are not tied to volume), EMWD will utilize its Rate Stabilization Reserve to mitigate any shortfall.

Priorities
The Plan is based on the following priorities:
 Public safety, healthy, and welfare
 Sustaining economic vitality
 Quality of life

5.1002 PUBLIC EDUCATION
EMWD will periodically provide the public with information about the Plan, including conditions under which each stage of the Plan is to be initiated or terminated and the conservation response measures to be implemented in each stage.

Appendix K: Resolutions of

Appendix L: Reduced Delta
Reliance
1 Quantifying Regional Self-Reliance and
Reduced Reliance on Water Supplies from
the Delta Watershed

1. Background
Under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009, state and local public agencies proposing a covered action in the Delta, prior to initiating the implementation of that action, must prepare a written certification of consistency with detailed findings as to whether the covered action is consistent with applicable Delta Plan policies and submit that certification to the Delta Stewardship Council. Anyone may appeal a certification of consistency, and if the Delta Stewardship Council grants the appeal, the covered action may not be implemented until the agency proposing the covered action submits a revised certification of consistency, and either no appeal is filed, or the Delta Stewardship Council denies the subsequent appeal.

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

WR P1 details what is needed for a covered action to demonstrate consistency with reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance. WR P1 subsection (a) states that:
(a) Water shall not be exported from, transferred through, or used in the Delta if all the following apply:
(1) One or more water suppliers that would receive water as a result of the export, transfer, or use have failed to adequately contribute to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance consistent with all of the requirements listed in paragraph (1) of subsection (c);
(2) That failure has significantly caused the need for the export, transfer, or use; and (3) The export, transfer, or use would have a significant adverse environmental impact in the Delta.

WR P1 subsection (c)(1) further defines what adequately contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta means in terms of (a)(1) above.
(c)(1) Water suppliers that have done all the following are contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance and are therefore consistent with this policy:
(A) Completed a current Urban or Agricultural Water Management Plan (Plan) which has been reviewed by the California Department of Water Resources for compliance with the applicable requirements of Water Code Division 6, Parts 2.55, 2.6, and 2.8; (B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta; and
(C) Included in the Plan, commencing in 2015, the expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self-reliance. The expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self- 2 reliance shall be reported in the Plan as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta watershed. For the purposes of reporting, water efficiency is considered a new source of water supply, consistent with Water Code section 1011(a).

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

2. Demonstration of Regional Self-Reliance
The methodology used to determine improved regional self-reliance for the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is consistent with the approach detailed in DWR’s UWMP Guidebook Appendix C, including the use of narrative justifications for the accounting of supplies and the documentation of specific data sources. Some of the key assumptions underlying EMWD’s demonstration of reduced reliance include:
 All data were obtained from the current 2020 UWMP or previously adopted UWMPs and represent average or normal water year conditions.
 All analyses were conducted at the service area level, and all data reflect the total contributions of EMWD and its customers.
 No projects or programs that are described in the UWMPs as “Projects Under Development” were included in the accounting of supplies.
 EMWD has coordinated this analysis with documentation prepared by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan), of which EMWD is a member agency.

Baseline and Expected Outcomes
To calculate the expected outcomes for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improved regional self-reliance, a baseline is needed to compare against. This analysis uses a normal water year representation of 2010 as the baseline, which is consistent with the approach described in the Guidebook Appendix C.

Documentation of the specific data sources and assumptions are included in the discussions below.

Service Area Demands without Water Use Efficiency
In alignment with the Guidebook Appendix C, this analysis uses normal water year demands, rather than normal water year supplies to calculate expected outcomes in terms of the percentage of water used. Using normal water year demands serves as a proxy for the amount of supplies that would be used in a normal water year, which helps alleviate issues associated with how supply capability is presented to fulfill requirements of the UWMP Act versus how supplies might be accounted for to demonstrate consistency with WR P1.

Because WR P1 considers water use efficiency savings a source of water supply, water suppliers can calculate their embedded water use efficiency savings based on changes in forecasted per capita water use since the baseline. As explained in the Guidebook Appendix C, water use efficiency savings must be added back to the normal year demands to represent demands without water use efficiency savings accounted for; otherwise, the effect of water use efficiency savings on regional self-reliance would be overestimated. Table C-1 shows the results of this adjustment for EMWD. Supporting narratives and documentation for all the data shown in Table C-1 are provided below.

Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency
The service area demands shown in Table C-1 represent the total water demands for EMWD’s retail and wholesale service area. The demand data shown in Table C-1 were collected from the following sources:
3  Baseline (2010): EMWD 2015 UWMP Table 6-1 and 6-2, groundwater management plan records, and sub-agency coordination and 2010 UWMPs
 2015: EMWD 2015 UWMP Table 6-1 and 6-2, groundwater management plan records, and subagency coordination and 2015 UWMPs  2020: EMWD 2020 UWMP Table 6-13, groundwater management plan records, and sub-agency coordination
 2025-2045: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-15 and 6-16 and sub-agency coordination Non-Potable Water Demands
EMWD operates four Regional Water Reclamation Facilities to provide recycled water for both municipal and agricultural purposes, as discussed in Chapter 6 of the 2020 UWMP. The non-potable water demand data shown in Table C-1 represents recycled water demand estimates from these facilities for use in EMWD’s service area collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): EMWD 2015 UWMP Table 6-1 and 6-2
 2015: EMWD 2015 UWMP Table 6-1 and 6-2
 2020: EMWD 2020 UWMP Table 6-13
 2025-2045: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-15 and 6-16
Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency
The “Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” was calculated by subtracting the “Non-Potable Water Demands” from “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency.” Service Area Population
The population data shown in Table 1 were collected from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 3-2
 2015: EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 3-3
 2020-2045: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 3-3
Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline
The “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline” was calculated using “Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” divided by “Service Area Population” and then comparing with 2010 Per Capita Water Use.

Service Area Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency In Table C-2, the “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” was added to the “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline” to obtain the “Service Area Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency Accounted For”.

Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-Reliance
For a covered action to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) states that water suppliers must report the expected outcomes for measurable improvement in regional self-reliance. EMWD’s local supplies include recycled water, potable groundwater, and desalinated groundwater. Through the Local Resources Program, Metropolitan has contributed to the development of these local supplies. More information about EMWD’s supply portfolio is provided in Chapter 6 of the UWMP.

Table C-3 shows expected outcomes for supplies contributing to regional self-reliance both in amount and as a percentage. The numbers shown in Table C-3 represent efforts to improve regional selfreliance for EMWD’s entire service area and include the total contributions of EMWD and its customers.

Supporting narratives and documentation for all the data shown in Table C-3 are provided below. 4 Water Use Efficiency
The water use efficiency information shown in Table C-3 is taken directly from Table C-1. More information about EMWD’s water use efficiency programs and demand management measures is included in Chapter 9 of EMWD’s UWMP.

Water Recycling
The water recycling values shown in Table C-3 are based on recycled water that was produced for past years, and on projections of recycled water production for future years.

Advanced Water Technologies
The advanced water technologies data shown in Table C-3 includes production from EMWD’s desalters, as described in Chapter 6 of EMWD’s 2020 UWMP. The data shown in Table C-3 originated from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 6-1 and 6-2
 2015: EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 6-1 and 6-2
 2020: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-13
 2025-2045: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-15 and 6-16
Local and Regional Water Supply and Storage Programs
The local and regional water supply and storage programs data shown in Table C-3 represent groundwater pumping estimates by entities within EMWD’s service area and were estimated from the following sources:
 Baseline (2010): EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 6-1 and 6-2, groundwater management plan records, and sub-agency coordination and 2010 UWMPs
 2015: EMWD 2015 UWMP, Table 6-1 and 6-2, groundwater management plan records, and subagency coordination and 2015 UWMPs  2020: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-13, groundwater management plan records, and sub-agency coordination
 2025-2045: EMWD 2020 UWMP, Table 6-15 and 6-16 and sub-agency coordination

3. Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed
EMWD is a member agency of Metropolitan, which is a contractor to the State Water Project.

Metropolitan has prepared an analysis of regional reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed. The discussion below was prepared by Metropolitan to describe the region’s efforts to reduce reliance on supplies from the Delta.

Metropolitan’s service area, as a whole, reduces reliance on the Delta through investments in non-Delta water supplies, local water supplies, and regional and local demand management measures.

Metropolitan’s member agencies coordinate reliance on the Delta through their membership in Metropolitan, a regional cooperative providing wholesale water service to its 26 member agencies.

Accordingly, regional reliance on the Delta can only be measured regionally—not by individual Metropolitan member agencies and not by the customers of those member agencies.

Metropolitan’s member agencies, and those agencies’ customers, indirectly reduce reliance on the Delta through their collective efforts as a cooperative. Metropolitan’s member agencies do not control the amount of Delta water they receive from Metropolitan. Metropolitan manages a statewide integrated conveyance system consisting of its participation in the State Water Project (SWP), its Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) including Colorado River water resources, programs and water exchanges, and its regional storage portfolio. Along with the SWP, CRA, storage programs, and Metropolitan’s conveyance and distribution facilities, demand management programs increase the future reliability of water resources for the region. In addition, demand management programs provide system-wide 5 benefits by decreasing the demand for imported water, which helps to decrease the burden on Metropolitan’s infrastructure and reduce system costs, and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all member agencies.

Metropolitan’s costs are funded almost entirely from its service area, except for grants and other assistance from government programs. Most of Metropolitan’s revenues are collected directly from its member agencies. Properties within Metropolitan’s service area pay a property tax that currently provides approximately 8 percent of the fiscal year 2021 annual budgeted revenues. The rest of Metropolitan’s costs are funded through rates and charges paid by Metropolitan’s member agencies for the wholesale services it provides to them. Thus, Metropolitan’s member agencies fund nearly all operations Metropolitan undertakes to reduce reliance on the Delta, including Colorado River Programs, storage facilities, Local Resources Programs and Conservation Programs within Metropolitan’s service area.

Because of the integrated nature of Metropolitan’s systems and operations, and the collective nature of Metropolitan’s regional efforts, it is infeasible to quantify each of Metropolitan member agencies’ individual reliance on the Delta. It is infeasible to attempt to segregate an entity and a system that were designed to work as an integrated regional cooperative.

In addition to the member agencies funding Metropolitan’s regional efforts, they also invest in their own local programs to reduce their reliance on any imported water. Moreover, the customers of those member agencies may also invest in their own local programs to reduce water demand. However, to the extent those efforts result in reduction of demands on Metropolitan, that reduction does not equate to a like reduction of reliance on the Delta. Demands on Metropolitan are not commensurate with demands on the Delta because most of Metropolitan member agencies receive blended resources from Metropolitan as determined by Metropolitan—not the individual member agency—and for most member agencies, the blend varies from month-to-month and year-to-year due to hydrology, operational constraints, use of storage and other factors.

Colorado River Programs
As a regional cooperative of member agencies, Metropolitan invests in programs to ensure the continued reliability and sustainability of Colorado River supplies. Metropolitan was established to obtain an allotment of Colorado River water, and its first mission was to construct and operate the CRA.

The CRA consists of five pumping plants, 450 miles of high voltage power lines, one electric substation, four regulating reservoirs, and 242 miles of aqueducts, siphons, canals, conduits and pipelines terminating at Lake Mathews in Riverside County. Metropolitan owns, operates, and manages the CRA.

Metropolitan is responsible for operating, maintaining, rehabilitating, and repairing the CRA, and is responsible for obtaining and scheduling energy resources adequate to power pumps at the CRA’s five pumping stations.

Colorado River supplies include Metropolitan’s basic Colorado River apportionment, along with supplies that result from existing and committed programs, including supplies from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID)-Metropolitan Conservation Program, the implementation of the Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) and related agreements, and the exchange agreement with San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA). The QSA established the baseline water use for each of the agreement parties and facilitates the transfer of water from agricultural agencies to urban uses. Since the QSA, additional programs have been implemented to increase Metropolitan’s CRA supplies. These include the PVID Land Management, Crop Rotation, and Water Supply Program, as well as the Lower Colorado River Water Supply Project. The 2007 Interim Guidelines provided for the coordinated operation of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, as well as the Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) program that allows Metropolitan to store water in Lake Mead.
6 Storage Investments/Facilities
Surface and groundwater storage are critical elements of Southern California’s water resources strategy and help Metropolitan reduce its reliance on the Delta. Because California experiences dramatic swings in weather and hydrology, storage is important to regulate those swings and mitigate possible supply shortages. Surface and groundwater storage provide a means of storing water during normal and wet years for later use during dry years, when imported supplies are limited. The Metropolitan system, for purposes of meeting demands during times of shortage, regulating system flows, and ensuring system reliability in the event of a system outage, provides over 1,000,000 acrefeet of system storage capacity. Diamond Valley Lake provides 810,000 acre feet of that storage capacity, effectively doubling Southern California’s previous surface water storage capacity. Other existing imported water storage available to the region consists of Metropolitan’s raw water reservoirs, a share of the SWP’s raw water reservoirs in and near the service area, and the portion of the groundwater basins used for conjunctive‐use storage.

Since the early twentieth century, DWR and Metropolitan have constructed surface water reservoirs to meet emergency, drought/seasonal, and regulatory water needs for Southern California. These reservoirs include Pyramid Lake, Castaic Lake, Elderberry Forebay, Silverwood Lake, Lake Perris, Lake Skinner, Lake Mathews, Live Oak Reservoir, Garvey Reservoir, Palos Verdes Reservoir, Orange County Reservoir, and Metropolitan’s Diamond Valley Lake (DVL). Some reservoirs such as Live Oak Reservoir, Garvey Reservoir, Palos Verdes Reservoir, and Orange County Reservoir, which have a total combined capacity of about 3,500 AF, are used solely for regulating purposes. The total gross storage capacity for the larger remaining reservoirs is 1,757,600 AF. However, not all of the gross storage capacity is available to Metropolitan; dead storage and storage allocated to others reduce the amount of storage that is available to Metropolitan to 1,665,200 AF.

Conjunctive use of the aquifers offers another important source of dry year supplies. Unused storage in Southern California groundwater basins can be used to optimize imported water supplies, and the development of groundwater storage projects allows effective management and regulation of the region’s major imported supplies from the Colorado River and SWP. Over the years, Metropolitan has implemented conjunctive use through various programs in the service area; the following table lists the groundwater conjunctive use programs that have been developed in the region. 7 Metropolitan Demand Management Programs
Demand management costs are Metropolitan’s expenditures for funding local water resource development programs and water conservation programs. These Demand Management Programs incentivize the development of local water supplies and the conservation of water to reduce the need to import water to deliver to Metropolitan’s member agencies. These programs are implemented below the delivery points between Metropolitan’s and its member agencies’ distribution systems and, as such, do not add any water to Metropolitan’s supplies. Rather, the effect of these downstream programs is to produce a local supply of water for the local agencies and to reduce demands by member agencies for water imported through Metropolitan’s system. The following discussions outline how Metropolitan funds local resources and conservation programs for the benefit of all of its member agencies and the entire Metropolitan service area. Notably, the history of demand management by Metropolitan’s member agencies and the local agencies that purchase water from Metropolitan’s members has spanned more than four decades. The significant history of the programs is another reason it would be difficult to attempt to assign a portion of such funding to any one individual member agency.

Local Resources Programs
In 1982, Metropolitan began providing financial incentives to its member agencies to develop new local supplies to assist in meeting the region’s water needs. Because of Metropolitan’s regional distribution system, these programs benefit all member agencies regardless of project location because they help 8 to increase regional water supply reliability, reduce demands for imported water supplies, decrease the burden on Metropolitan’s infrastructure, reduce system costs and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all the agencies that rely on water from Metropolitan.

For example, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) operated by the Orange County Water District is the world’s largest water purification system for indirect potable reuse. It was funded, in part, by Metropolitan’s member agencies through the Local Resources Program. Annually, the GWRS produces approximately 103,000 acre-feet of reliable, locally controlled, drought-proof supply of highquality water to recharge the Orange County Groundwater Basin and protect it from seawater intrusion.

The GWRS is a premier example of a regional project that significantly reduced the need to utilize imported water for groundwater replenishment in Metropolitan’s service area, increasing regional and local supply reliability and reducing the region’s reliance on imported supplies, including supplies from the State Water Project.

Metropolitan’s local resource programs have evolved through the years to better assist Metropolitan’s member agencies in increasing local supply production. The following is a description and history of the local supply incentive programs.

Local Projects Program
In 1982, Metropolitan initiated the Local Projects Program (LPP), which provided funding to member agencies to facilitate the development of recycled water projects. Under this approach, Metropolitan contributed a negotiated up-front funding amount to help finance project capital costs. Participating member agencies were obligated to reimburse Metropolitan over time. In 1986, the LPP was revised, changing the up-front funding approach to an incentive-based approach. Metropolitan contributed an amount equal to the avoided State Water Project pumping costs for each acre-foot of recycled water delivered to end-use consumers. This funding incentive was based on the premise that local projects resulted in the reduction of water imported from the Delta and the associated pumping cost. The incentive amount varied from year to year depending on the actual variable power cost paid for State Water Project imports. In 1990, Metropolitan’s Board increased the LPP contribution to a fixed rate of $154 per acre-foot, which was calculated based on Metropolitan’s avoided capital and operational costs to convey, treat, and distribute water, and included considerations of reliability and service area demands.

Groundwater Recovery Program
The drought of the early 1990s sparked the need to develop additional local water resources, aside from recycled water, to meet regional demand and increase regional water supply reliability. In 1991, Metropolitan conducted the Brackish Groundwater Reclamation Study which determined that large amounts of degraded groundwater in the region were not being utilized. Subsequently, the Groundwater Recovery Program (GRP) was established to assist the recovery of otherwise unusable groundwater degraded by minerals and other contaminants, provide access to the storage assets of the degraded groundwater, and maintain the quality of groundwater resources by reducing the spread of degraded plumes.

Local Resources Program
In 1995, Metropolitan’s Board adopted the Local Resources Program (LRP), which combined the LPP and GRP into one program. The Board allowed for existing LPP agreements with a fixed incentive rate to convert to the sliding scale up to $250 per acre-foot, similar to GRP incentive terms. Those agreements that were converted to LRP are known as “LRP Conversions.” Competitive Local Projects Program
In 1998, the Competitive Local Resources Program (Competitive Program) was established. The Competitive Program encouraged the development of recycled water and recovered groundwater through a process that emphasized cost-efficiency to Metropolitan, timing new production according to regional need while minimizing program administration cost. Under the Competitive Program, agencies 9 requested an incentive rate up to $250 per acre-foot of production over 25 years under a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of up to 53,000 acre-feet per year of new water recycling and groundwater recovery projects. In 2003, a second RFP was issued for the development of an additional 65,000 acre-feet of new recycled water and recovered groundwater projects through the LRP.

Seawater Desalination Program
Metropolitan established the Seawater Desalination Program (SDP) in 2001 to provide financial incentives to member agencies for the development of seawater desalination projects. In 2014, seawater desalination projects became eligible for funding under the LRP, and the SDP was ended. 2007 Local Resources Program
In 2006, a task force comprised of member agency representatives was formed to identify and recommend program improvements to the LRP. As a result of the task force process, the 2007 LRP was established with a goal of 174,000 acre-feet per year of additional local water resource development. The new program allowed for an open application process and eliminated the previous competitive process. This program offered sliding scale incentives of up to $250 per acre-foot, calculated annually based on a member agency’s actual local resource project costs exceeding Metropolitan’s prevailing water rate.
2014 Local Resources Program
A series of workgroup meetings with member agencies was held to identify the reasons why there was a lack of new LRP applications coming into the program. The main constraint identified by the member agencies was that the $250 per acre-foot was not providing enough of an incentive for developing new projects due to higher construction costs to meet water quality requirements and to develop the infrastructure to reach end-use consumers located further from treatment plants. As a result, in 2014, the Board authorized an increase in the maximum incentive amount, provided alternative payment structures, included onsite retrofit costs and reimbursable services as part of the LRP, and added eligibility for seawater desalination projects. The current LRP incentive payment options are structured as follows:
 Option 1 – Sliding scale incentive up to $340/AF for a 25-year agreement term  Option 2 – Sliding scale incentive up to $475/AF for a 15-year agreement term  Option 3 – Fixed incentive up to $305/AF for a 25-year agreement term On-site Retrofit Programs
In 2014, Metropolitan’s Board also approved the On-site Retrofit Pilot Program which provided financial incentives to public or private entities toward the cost of small-scale improvements to their existing irrigation and industrial systems to allow connection to existing recycled water pipelines. The On-site Retrofit Pilot Program helped reduce recycled water retrofit costs to the end-use consumer which is a key constraint that limited recycled water LRP projects from reaching full production capacity. The program incentive was equal to the actual eligible costs of the on-site retrofit, or $975 per acre-foot of up-front cost, which equates to $195 per acre-foot for an estimated five years of water savings ($195/AF x 5 years) multiplied by the average annual water use in previous three years, whichever is less. The Pilot Program lasted two years and was successful in meeting its goal of accelerating the use of recycled water.

In 2016, Metropolitan’s Board authorized the On-site Retrofit Program (ORP), with an additional budget of $10 million. This program encompassed lessons learned from the Pilot Program and feedback from member agencies to make the program more streamlined and improve its efficiency. As of fiscal year 2019/20, the ORP has successfully converted 440 sites, increasing the use of recycled water by 12,691 acre-feet per year.
10 Stormwater Pilot Programs
In 2019, Metropolitan’s Board authorized both the Stormwater for Direct Use Pilot Program and a Stormwater for Recharge Pilot Program to study the feasibility of reusing stormwater to help meet regional demands in Southern California. These pilot programs are intended to encourage the development, monitoring, and study of new and existing stormwater projects by providing financial incentives for their construction/retrofit and monitoring/reporting costs. These pilot programs will help evaluate the potential benefits delivered by stormwater capture projects and provide a basis for potential future funding approaches. Metropolitan’s Board authorized a total of $12.5 million for the stormwater pilot programs ($5 million for the District Use Pilot and $7.5 million for the Recharge Pilot).

Current Status and Results of Metropolitan’s Local Resource Programs
Today, nearly one-half of the total recycled water and groundwater recovery production in the region has been developed with an incentive from one or more of Metropolitan’s local resource programs.

During fiscal year 2020, Metropolitan provided about $13 million for production of 71,000 acre-feet of recycled water for non-potable and indirect potable uses. Metropolitan provided about $4 million to support projects that produced about 50,000 acre-feet of recovered groundwater for municipal use.

Since 1982, Metropolitan has invested $680 million to fund 85 recycled water projects and 27 groundwater recovery projects that have produced a cumulative total of about 4 million acre-feet.

Conservation Programs
Metropolitan’s regional conservation programs and approaches have a long history. Decades ago, Metropolitan recognized that demand management at the consumer level would be an important part of balancing regional supplies and demands. Water conservation efforts were seen as a way to reduce the need for imported supplies and offset the need to transport or store additional water into or within the Metropolitan service area. The actual conservation of water takes place at the retail consumer level.

Regional conservation approaches have proven to be effective at reaching retail consumers throughout Metropolitan’s service area and successfully implementing water saving devices, programs and practices. Through the pooling of funding by Metropolitan’s member agencies, Metropolitan is able to engage in regional campaigns with wide-reaching impact. Regional investments in demand management programs, of which conservation is a key part along with local supply programs, benefit all member agencies regardless of project location. These programs help to increase regional water supply reliability, reduce demands for imported water supplies, decrease the burden on Metropolitan’s infrastructure, reduce system costs, and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all member agencies.

Incentive-Based Conservation Programs
Conservation Credits Program
In 1988, Metropolitan’s Board approved the Water Conservation Credits Program (Credits Program).

The Credits Program is similar in concept to the Local Projects Program (LPP). The purpose of the Credits Program is to encourage local water agencies to implement effective water conservation projects through the use of financial incentives. The Credits Program provides financial assistance for water conservation projects that reduce demands on Metropolitan’s imported water supplies and require Metropolitan’s assistance to be financially feasible.

Initially, the Credits Program provided 50 percent of a member agency’s program cost, up to a maximum of $75 per acre-foot of estimated water savings. The $75 Base Conservation Rate was established based Metropolitan’s avoided cost of pumping SWP supplies. The Base Conservation Rate has been revisited by Metropolitan’s Board and revised twice since 1988, from $75 to $154 per acrefoot in 1990 and from $154 to $195 per acre-foot in 2005.

In fiscal year 2020 Metropolitan processed more than 30,400 rebate applications totaling $18.9 million. 11 Member Agency Administered Program
Some member agencies also have unique programs within their service areas that provide local rebates that may differ from Metropolitan’s regional program. Metropolitan continues to support these local efforts through a member agency administered funding program that adheres to the same funding guidelines as the Credits Program. The Member Agency Administered Program allows member agencies to receive funding for local conservation efforts that supplement, but do not duplicate, the rebates offered through Metropolitan’s regional rebate program.

Water Savings Incentive Program
There are numerous commercial entities and industries within Metropolitan’s service area that pursue unique savings opportunities that do not fall within the general rebate programs that Metropolitan provides. In 2012, Metropolitan designed the Water Savings Incentive Program (WSIP) to target these unique commercial and industrial projects. In addition to rebates for devices, under this program, Metropolitan provides financial incentives to businesses and industries that created their own custom water efficiency projects. Qualifying custom projects can receive funding for permanent water efficiency changes that result in reduced potable demand.

Non-Incentive Conservation Programs
In addition to its incentive-based conservation programs, Metropolitan also undertakes additional efforts throughout its service area that help achieve water savings without the use of rebates. Metropolitan’s non-incentive conservation efforts include:
 residential and professional water efficient landscape training classes  water audits for large landscapes
 research, development and studies of new water saving technologies  advertising and outreach campaigns
 community outreach and education programs
 advocacy for legislation, codes, and standards that lead to increased water savings Current Status and Results of Metropolitan’s Conservation Programs
Since 1990, Metropolitan has invested $824 million in conservation rebates that have resulted in a cumulative savings of 3.27 million acre-feet of water. These investments include $450 million in turf removal and other rebates during the last drought which resulted in 175 million square feet of lawn turf removed. During fiscal year 2020, 1.06 million acre-feet of water is estimated to have been conserved.

This annual total includes Metropolitan’s Conservation Credits Program; code-based conservation achieved through Metropolitan-sponsored legislation; building plumbing codes and ordinances; reduced consumption resulting from changes in water pricing; and pre-1990 device retrofits.

Infeasibility of Accounting Regional Investments in Reduced Reliance Below the Regional Level
The accounting of regional investments that contribute to reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed is straightforward to calculate and report at the regional aggregate level. However, any similar accounting is infeasible for the individual member agencies or their customers. As described above, the region (through Metropolitan) makes significant investments in projects, programs and other resources that reduce reliance on the Delta. In fact, all of Metropolitan’s investments in Colorado River supplies, groundwater and surface storage, local resources development and demand management measures that reduce reliance on the Delta are collectively funded by revenues generated from the member agencies through rates and charges.
12 Metropolitan’s revenues cannot be matched to the demands or supply production history of an individual agency, or consistently across the agencies within the service area. Each project or program funded by the region has a different online date, useful life, incentive rate and structure, and production schedule. It is infeasible to account for all these things over the life of each project or program and provide a nexus to each member agency’s contributions to Metropolitan’s revenue stream over time.

Accounting at the regional level allows for the incorporation of the local supplies and water use efficiency programs done by member agencies and their customers through both the regional programs and through their own specific local programs. As shown above, despite the infeasibility of accounting reduced Delta reliance below the regional level, Metropolitan’s member agencies and their customers have together made substantial contributions to the region’s reduced reliance.

Because of this infeasibility to separate out the individual member agency’s reduced reliance on the Delta, Metropolitan has completed the analysis to demonstrate a regional wide reduction which is shown in Table C-4.

4. Summary of Expected Outcomes for Reduced Reliance on the Delta As stated in WR P1(c)(1)(C), the policy requires that, commencing in 2015, UWMPs include expected outcomes for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improved regional self- reliance. WR P1 further states that those outcomes shall be reported in the UWMP as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta.

The expected outcomes for Eastern Municipal Water District’s Delta reliance and regional self-reliance were developed using the approach and guidance described in Appendix C of DWR’s Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2020 (Guidebook Appendix C) issued in March 2021.

Regional Self-Reliance
The data used to demonstrate increased regional self-reliance in this analysis represent the total regional efforts of EMWD and its customers and were developed in conjunction with Metropolitan as part of the UWMP coordination process. In accordance with UMWP requirements, EMWD’s customers also report demands and supplies for their service areas in their respective UWMPs. The data reported by those agencies are not additive to the regional totals shown in EMWD’s UWMP, rather their reporting represents subtotals of the regional total and should be considered as such for the purposes of determining regional self-reliance.

The results show that EMWD and its customers are measurably reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.

Reduced Reliance on Supplies from the Delta Watershed
For reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta Watershed, the data used in this analysis represent the total regional efforts of Metropolitan and its member agencies and their customers (many of them retail agencies) and were developed in conjunction with EMWD and other Metropolitan member agencies as part of the UWMP coordination process (as described in Section 5 of Metropolitan’s 2020 UWMP). In accordance with UMWP requirements, Metropolitan’s member agencies and their customers (many of them retail agencies) also report demands and supplies for their service areas in their respective UWMPs. The data reported by those agencies are not additive to the regional totals shown in Metropolitan’s UWMP, rather their reporting represents subtotals of the regional total and should be considered as such for the purposes of determining reduced reliance on the Delta.

While the demands that Metropolitan’s member agencies and their customers report in their UWMP’s are a good reflection of the demands in their respective service areas, they do not adequately represent each water suppliers’ individual contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta. To calculate and report their reliance on water supplies from the Delta watershed, water suppliers that receive water from the Delta through other regional or wholesale water suppliers would need to determine the amount of Delta water that they receive from the regional or wholesale supplier. Two specific pieces of information are 13 needed to accomplish this, first is the quantity of demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier that accurately reflect a supplier’s contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta and second is the quantity of a supplier’s demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier that are met by supplies from the Delta watershed.

For water suppliers that make investments in regional projects or programs it may be infeasible to quantify their demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier in a way that accurately reflects their individual contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta. Due to the extensive, long-standing, and successful implementation of regional demand management and local resource incentive programs in Metropolitan’s service area, this infeasibility holds true for Metropolitan’s members as well as their customers. For Metropolitan’s service area, reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed can only be accurately accounted for at the regional level.

The results show that as a region, Metropolitan and its members (including EMWD) as well as their customers are measurably reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.

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

Chapter 6 of EMWD’s 2020 UWMP summarizes the implementation plan and continued progress in developing a diversified water portfolio to meet the region’s water needs.

6. 2015 UWMP Appendix M
The information contained in this appendix is also intended to be a new Appendix M to EMWD’s 2015 UWMP consistent with WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003). EMWD provided notice of the availability of the draft 2020 UWMP, 2021 WSCP, and the new Appendix M to the 2015 UWMP and held a public hearing to consider adoption of the documents in accordance with CWC Sections 10621(b) and 10642, and Government Code Section 6066, and Chapter 17.5 (starting with Section 7290) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. The public review drafts of the 2020 UWMP, Appendix M to the 2015 UWMP, and the 2021 WSCP were posted on EMWD’s website, emwd.org, in advance of the public hearing on June 30, 2021. The notice of availability of the documents was sent to EMWD’s customers, as well as cities and counties in EMWD’s service area.

Copies of the notification letter sent to the customers and cities and counties in EMWD’s service area are included in the 2020 UWMP Appendix J. Thus, this Appendix L to EMWD’s 2020 UWMP, which was adopted with EMWD’s 2020 UWMP, will also be recognized and treated as Appendix M to EMWD’s 2015 UWMP.

EMWD held the public hearing for the draft 2020 UWMP, draft Appendix M to the 2015 UWMP, and draft 2021 WSCP on June 30, 2021, at a regular Board of Directors meeting, with an option to join virtually due to COVID-19 concerns. EMWD’s Board of Directors determined that the 2020 UWMP and the 2021 WSCP accurately represent the water resources plan for EMWD’s service area. In addition, 14 EMWD’s Board of Directors determined that Appendix M to the 2015 UWMP and Appendix L to the 2020 UWMP include all of the elements described in Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003), which need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action. The EMWD Board of Directors adopted the 2020 UWMP, Appendix M to the 2015 UWMP, and the 2021 WSCP and authorized their submittal to the State of California. Copies of the resolutions are included in the 2020 UWMP Appendix K.
