32. Gary is serving as the City’s Program Manager on Peoria’s first ASR well (recharging 1.3 MGD of treated reclaimed water). He is focused on improving creating an operator-friendly interface, streamline regulatory reporting, assessing the compatibility of treated reclaimed water with groundwater, and train operators on how to optimize recharge and backwashing operations. Our services saved Peoria $4.2M. The initial consultant recommended a second ASR well to be drilled and constructed to meet their recharge goals. This recommendation was not warranted since the initial ASR has met Peoria’s Operational Goals. This project was given the Arizona State University 2021 Sustainable Infrastructure Award & Nominated as NGWA 2025 Groundwater Project of the Year.

City of Malibu, CA – Civic Center Water Treatment Facility. Technical Reviewer for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Civic Center Water Treatment Facility (CCWTF) Project, which was aimed at improving the water quality in the Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon, and Surfrider Beach and recharging the Malibu Valley Groundwater Basin. The project included a collection system to convey wastewater to a new membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant that produced Title 22 recycled water for irrigation purposes and groundwater injection.
Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District, CA – Regional San’s Harvest Water Program. As Environmental Lead, Robin led environmental documentation and permitting for the in-lieu recharge project, which has the potential to provide up to 50,000 acre-feet of recycled water per year to irrigate farmlands and improve habitat and has several environmental benefits including reducing the overdraft of local groundwater supplies and improving riparian forest conditions along the lower Cosumnes River. Robin managed the completion of CEQA and NEPA documentation for the project and assisted Regional San in coordinating permitting for the project.
Permitting was streamlined because the project was covered under the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan (SSHCP), which provided the pathway for obtaining the 404 permit for the project by obtaining a “Covered Activity Authorization Aquatic Resources Permit”. Requirements for consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act were also addressed through the SSHCP. The project required a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Regional Board and included coordination with CDFW to obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement. The project also required a Wastewater Petition for Change from the Division of Water Rights to allow a reduction of discharge to the Sacramento River.
City of Sacramento, CA – Groundwater Master Plan Well Replacement Program EIR. Technical Reviewer for a Program EIR that evaluates replacement of 38 municipal water supply wells, over a 15-year period, that are at the end of their useful life. Analysis included mapping of well sites to meet project-specific well siting criteria. EIR focuses on potential cumulative impacts to the North and South American groundwater subbasins, greenhouse gas emissions, and potential construction noise, aesthetics, and tribal cultural resource impacts. Helped the City strategize about other siting and environmental issues concerning larger on-site water treatment systems to treat other potential groundwater constituents; methane treatment systems; construction noise and aesthetic impacts for well sites located at schools and parks. EIR incorporates results of a hydrogeological model to assess effects of the maximum case groundwater pumping scenario on the groundwater subbasins while maintaining groundwater sustainability.

City of Turlock, CA – Exchange of Recycled
Water Discharged into the San Joaquin River
for Transfer of San Joaquin River Water to Del
Puerto Water District via Patterson Irrigation
District. Project Manager for CEQA/NEPA document to
address project to convey recycled water produced by
City of Turlock to Del Puerto Water District via the San Joaquin River, Patterson Irrigation District Main Canal, and Delta-Mendota Canal. The project provided supplemental water supply for agricultural users served by the Del Puerto Water District. Because the project does not require construction of any new facilities, the only environmental issue is the reduction in flows in the San Joaquin River associated with diverting recycled water
that is currently discharged to the river for agricultural uses. Effects on fisheries were evaluated and it was
determined that there would be no measurable effect
on fish populations. The project included NEPA documentation because a Warren Act Contract from the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation was required for conveyance of
non-project water in the Delta Mendota Canal. CEQA
documentation supported an Application to Appropriate
Water that was filed with the State Water Resources
Control Board, Division of Water Rights to allow diversion of water from the San Joaquin River.
Del Puerto Water District, CA – North Valley
Regional Recycled Water Program. Environmental
Project Manager responsible for working with Bureau
of Reclamation on EIR/EIS. Conducted scoping meeting,

complex project with multiple alternatives less than
nine months after scoping meeting. The North Valley
Regional Recycled Water Program (NVRRWP) provides
recycled water from the Cities of Modesto and Turlock
to the Del Puerto Water District for irrigation of 45,000 acres of farmland in Stanislaus, San Joaquin and Merced Counties. Assisted in evaluation of alternatives for pipeline construction including consideration of two major trenchless pipeline options for crossing the San Joaquin River. Project included coordination with Division of
Water Rights, because both the City of Turlock and
City of Modesto had to obtain approval of Wastewater
Change Petitions. Project also required completion of
CEQA Plus documentation to allow eligibility for SRF
funding. Major issues included introduction of recycled water into a federal water facility and impacts of
reduced discharges to the San Joaquin River.

team for use in the evaluation of groundwater impacts.
Del Puerto Water District, CA – Del Puerto
Canyon Reservoir Environmental Impact
Report. EIR Task Manager responsible for managing
the EIR, EIR process, and client and agency coordination for a proposed 82,000 acre-foot reservoir located
along Del Puerto Creek in Stanislaus County, fronting
Interstate 5, west of the City of Patterson. Project
includes a main dam, three saddle dams, inlet/outlet
works, pipeline, a pumping plant, electrical substation, relocated utility lines and a relocated roadway. The

Evaluation of Emergency Water Supply Options and
Recommended Groundwater Exploration Program
GEI Project No. 1703234
This Technical Memorandum (TM) summarizes the results of a reconnaissance-level alternatives evaluation and fatal flaw analysis being completed by GEI to help Mountain House Community Services District (District) identify and develop a viable alternative water supply. The need for an alternative supply was initially identified in early planning studies and is documented in the District’s most recent Urban Water Management Plan Update (MWCSD, 2016). A total of 12 options were reviewed and no low-cost options were identified during this evaluation. A presentation of findings and recommendations was provided to the District Board on March 14, 2018, and is included as Appendix A. This TM and the Board presentation document the imminent need for an alternative supply to withstand emergency and extremely dry conditions. These documents also address the local water resources setting, including local groundwater conditions; provide an evaluation of alternative supplies; provide reconnaissance-level cost estimates for the three top-ranking alternatives; and describe recommendations for next steps to further evaluate and implement these alternatives.
Bac kg roun d
The District is currently supplied surface water from the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District (BBID) that the District treats to meet drinking water standards at the Mountain House Water Treatment Plant. BBID has pre-1914 surface water rights, which, historically, have been dependable. Since then, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) sent BBID and the District a “Notice of Unavailability of Water and Need for Immediate Curtailment” dated June 12, 2015 (compliance Order No. 01_10_15R_005). BBID immediately challenged the SWRCB issuance of the curtailment and the availability of water. At the SWRCB hearing between BBID and Westside Irrigation District (WID) in late March 2016, officers heard from the Division of Water Rights Prosecution Team and the BBID/WID defense team during three days of a planned multi-week hearing, and on March 25, 2016, the SWRCB hearing officers issued a procedural ruling suspending the hearing indefinitely.
See SWRCB March 25, 2016 letter on SWRCB website (http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/) or BBID website (http://bbid.org) for more information.
Prior to the June 2015 curtailment letter, the District had been prudently investigating various water supply and diversion options to ensure a reliable source of water during dry years and emergencies.
These investigations, along with various negotiations, continue and will go on until the water supply and diversion portfolio meets all reliability needs for the community. At the time of the curtailment, the District was able to contract with South San Joaquin Irrigation District to provide emergency short-term water supply through December 31, 2015, which is no longer necessary since the SWRCB
ATTACHMENT B
Item 8.2
Mountain House Page 216 of 621
Edwin Pattison & Nader Shareghi via Email March 29, 2018 -3-
lifted the curtailment for BBID and the District in September 2015. In March 2016, the District created a restricted “Drought Contingency Fund” to purchase water in times of emergency. Quarterly reporting of progress being made toward an alternate water supply is a requirement of the SWRCB compliance order described above.
In 2016, a preliminary siting evaluation for an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) well within the District was completed during the District’s Water Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan updates. The ASR well would allow the District to supply the community with water during a future water supply emergency in which BBID surface water supplies may be restricted. The 2016 study concluded that the District’s emergency water supply need was approximately 2,000 gallons per minute (gpm), about 9 acre-feet per day (AFD), for a 3- to 5-month period (WYA, 2015) at buildout based on current water demand factors. Based on discussions between GEI and District staff, it was agreed that for this current planning phase, an emergency supply for up to one year or 3,200AF, was appropriate. Slide 11 in Appendix A is a conceptual illustration of ASR well operation.
Before proceeding with exploratory drilling in the location recommended by West Yost Associates in a 2016 study (WYA, 2016), District staff requested the GEI assess this and other potential local groundwater options in more detail. GEI met with District staff on April 12, 2017, to discuss potential groundwater and ASR options of interest to the District in meeting their dry year and emergency supply needs and developed a scope of work for evaluation. This evaluation was comprised of these three tasks:
Task 1 – Groundwater and ASR Alternatives Development
Task 2 – Alternatives Evaluation and Fatal Flaw Analysis Task 3 – Basis-of-Design Report
Implementation of the recommendations developed in Task 3 may occur as a future phase to collect pre-design information needed to design and construct the selected alternative.
Method olog y
This section describes the methodology GEI used to develop and evaluate alternatives, evaluate the groundwater conditions, and estimate costs.
Alternatives Evaluation
GEI presented an initial list of alternatives at the project kick-off meeting on July 17, 2017. These options included both In-District and Out-of-District options as shown in Table 1.

Table 1 – Summary of Preliminary Options Considered for Evaluation In-District Options Out-of-District Options
• ASR in northern area of District in vicinity of WTP • ASR on Von Sosten Road near W. Byron RdAssuming Treatment is Required • ASR in the southeast corner of the District • Groundwater extraction on Von Sosten Road with aquifer injection provided by and through
agreement with City of Tracy and other
groundwater stakeholders. Groundwater quality
and geologic conditions are likely more favorable
east of the District’s service area.
• Use of shallow groundwater within the District for
landscape irrigation
• ASR on Von Sosten Road near W. Byron Rdassuming treatment is not required • Use of Mountain House Creek for increased
storage of local storm and surface water when
available to achieve groundwater recharge and
recreational benefits
During the kick-off meeting and in subsequent meetings with the District to discuss alternatives, a few additional alternatives were added to this initial list. These include:
• Well field of shallow wells near the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) pumping groundwater to the WTP for further treatment by reverse osmosis (RO) before serving. • Groundwater banking in gravels pits south of Tracy balanced by groundwater extraction near the WTP.
• Storing surface water in an expanded Los Vaqueros Reservoir. • Transferring surface water or groundwater through agreement with a partner agency in Eastern San Joaquin County.
• Continued funding of the District’s Drought Contingency Plan to pay for emergency surface transfers.
The alternative of using shallow groundwater for irrigation was dropped from further evaluation since it does not meet the human demand for water in an emergency. The alternatives were broadly categorized based on their timeline for implementation as either short-term, mid-term, or long-term alternatives. Short-term alternatives could be immediately implemented; mid-term are those that can be implemented in the next one to three years; and long-term, would require more than three years for implementation. Table 2 summarizes the alternatives considered by the categories described above.

Mid-term alternatives consist of projects for which the District would be the lead agency. Because of the number of mid-term alternatives considered, GEI developed a scoring and ranking system. The following criteria were considered in this evaluation:
• Reliability of Supply
• Quality of Water
• Cost
• Ease of Construction
• Stakeholder Acceptance
• Ease of Operation
• Ease of Permitting
GEI assigned a numerical score of one to three to each criterion used in evaluating mid-term alternatives, with the highest score being most favorable. The result of the scoring and ranking of alternatives is provided in Table 3. The scoring of assumptions for each level one to three are listed in the upper right portion of the table for each criterion.

Groundwater Evaluation
Hydrogeologic cross-sections were developed to evaluate lithologic and water quality conditions for the top-ranking alternatives. The purpose for developing these cross-sections was to choose optimal locations and depths for exploratory drilling, future production, and ASR wells, and to evaluate potential well production capacity. The following information was included on these cross-sections:
• Ground surface elevation.
• Approximate groundwater surface elevation.
• Lithology, screen intervals, and pumping rates (if available) for existing wells. • Extent of Corcoran clay in the study area based on data obtained from the USGS. • Groundwater quality data, where available.
Well log data used to construct these cross-sections was obtained from DWR, information provided by the District for the Shea Homes Well #1, and logs that GEI had on file from previous groundwater studies completed in this region.
Water quality data reported in Table 4 was obtained from the following sources:
• The District provided groundwater quality information for a shallow monitoring well located near the Wastewater Treatment Facility, called Condor MW-17D. The District also provided data for Shea Homes #1 well.
• The City of Tracy provided data for a multilevel monitoring well located near the east end of cross-section B -B’, called 02S/04E-18P.
Cost Evaluation
The costs for the three, top-ranking emergency groundwater supply alternatives were estimated and compared to aid the District in ultimately selecting a preferred alternative. As such, this is considered a Class 5 level estimate as defined by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Estimating. 1 More
information on the level of detail of this estimate is provided in Appendix B.
Res ult s
This section describes short-term, long-term, and mid-term alternatives considered in this evaluation.
Each are described briefly below.
1 Class 5 estimates are generally prepared based on very limited information, and subsequently have very wide accuracy ranges. As such, some companies and organizations have elected to determine that due to the inherent inaccuracies, such estimates cannot be classified in a conventional and systematic manner. Class 5 estimates, due to the requirements of end use, may be prepared within a very limited amount of time and with very little effort expended -sometimes requiring less than one hour to prepare. Often, little more than proposed plant type, location, and capacity are known at the time of estimate preparation. Class 5 estimates are generally with -50% to +100% of actual costs.

U.S. EPA - United States Environmental Protection Agency Short-term Alternative: Mountain House drought emergency contingency plan. This plan was implemented during the recent drought when BBID received a surface water delivery curtailment and MWCSD had to purchase water from another source. This alternative is for short-term emergencies only and should not be considered an acceptable alternative in anything other than the most severe situations. Continency funds currently available to purchase water in emergencies is $650,000.
2 By Board direction, each year’s budget adds an additional $250,000 to the drought contingency fund up to a maximum of $2,000,000.
Mid-Term Alternative
Each of nine mid-term alternatives were scored and total scores range was from 13 to 19.5, shown on Table 3.
The alternatives sorted by total score and the rankings are included in the far right column of Table 3. The top three ranking mid-term alternatives are described below. We have also provided brief descriptions of the shortterm alternative and the two long-term alternatives considered.

The top three ranking mid-term alternatives include:
• Rank 1 (Alternative 1): Score 19.5 - ASR in Northern Area of District in Vicinity of WTP: This alternative consists of the construction of a new ASR well(s) within 0.5 miles of the Mountain House Water Treatment Plant. Source water for injection, provided by BBID under current contracts, would be treated water from the District’s WTP before injection. This alternative assumes that in an emergency, groundwater could be served without treatment, other than disinfection. This alternative requires a field exploration program to verify the aquifer suitability and water quality for deep groundwater occurring beneath the Corcoran Clay in this area. The recommended exploration program is described in more detail below.
• Rank 2 (Alternative 7): Score 18 - ASR on Von Sosten Road – No Treatment Required: This alternative includes construction of new ASR well(s) outside of the District near the western edge of the City of Tracy. Although outside the District’s service area, this location was selected because the groundwater quality and geologic conditions are more favorable for groundwater production further to the east because the Central Aquifer System is thin adjacent to the Coast Range Hills, but thickens toward the East (see Slide 7 of Appendix A). A pipeline would need to be constructed parallel to Von Sosten Road to convey water from a connection in the southeastern area of Mountain House to the well site. It is assumed that additional treatment, beyond the current treatment system, will not be required for either injectate or recovered water, but this assumption needs to be verified by conducting a field exploration program described in more detail below. This alternative has the potential added benefits of providing water to new customers along Von Sosten Road and connecting with the City of Tracy for emergency supply in the future. The City of Tracy is in the process of developing an Aquifer Storage and Recovery program utilizing available Stanislaus River supplies in wet periods for injection in City of Tracy wells and extraction from the same wells for delivery to customers in dry periods. • Rank 3 (Alternative 4): Score 17.5 – Well Field of Shallow Wells (<200 feet) near WTP and Pump Back to WTP: This alternative assumes that native shallow groundwater will require additional treatment. The WTP would need to be updated to provide the necessary groundwater treatment using reverse osmosis (RO) to allow the groundwater to meet drinking water standards. RO is a purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. This is not an ASR option.
The location of each of these three top alternatives is shown on Figure 1.
Long-term Alternatives: Two-long terms alternatives were considered in this evaluation. Each is listed and briefly described below.
1. Storage in Expanded Los Vaqueros Reservoir: The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) is currently planning a second phase of expansion to increase storage in the Los Vaqueros Reservoir. The proposed project would increase storage of the reservoir from 160,000 to 275,000 AF. BBID is one of the stakeholders that will benefit from the additional capacity of the reservoir if it is raised. The Los Vaqueros Expansion would provide at least 30,000 AF of water for use by BBID in wet, normal, and dry years and 20,000 AF in critically dry years (CCWD, 2017). BBID would receive water from the project through the new Transfer-Bethany Pipeline, delivered to the existing California Aqueduct and then to the DeltaMendota Canal. This water could be sold to the District for use during emergency situations, but during a drought, if the reservoirs are not full the amount of water for delivery may be reduced. Implementation of this project is estimated to be 10 years and is contingent on funding through the Water Storage Investment Fund Program (Prop 1). Additional information on this project provided by CCWD is included in Appendix C.

2. Surface or Groundwater Transfer from South or East San Joaquin County: GEI met the District and staff from the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works (Public Works) in December 2017 to explore the potential for intra-county water transfers as a possible emergency water supply for the District in emergency periods. Public Works staff and GEI participated in a follow-up conference call in February 2018. During these meetings it became apparent that given the complexities of the natural hydrology, water rights considerations and the impact of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), surface or groundwater transfers benefiting the District, at this time, are highly uncertain. Given the high level of uncertainty, it is not feasible to identify a viable transfer opportunity for further consideration in this study. It is recommended; however, that District staff participate as an interested stakeholder in the development of East San Joaquin Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) required by SGMA for completion by January 2020. It is expected that a groundwater banking program will be presented in GSP that may be implemented as a management action to help achieve sustainability in the east county area by 2040. It is expected that this groundwater bank would include both banking and exchange partners. It is recommended that the District become actively involved in the design and development of this groundwater bank as an interested exchange partner within San Joaquin County. Efforts are already underway to develop a groundwater bank and engage potential banking partners. A recent example is the Application for a Permit to Export Groundwater from San Joaquin County submitted by the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District, the Eastern Water Alliance, and the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, with support by East Bay Municipal Utility District. This application includes a good description of the Demonstration Recharge Extraction and Aquifer Management (DREAM) Project and is provided in Appendix D. If the export permit is granted, and the demonstration project proves successful, it may pave the way for an expanded groundwater banking program in which the District could participate as an interested exchange partner.
Groun dwate r Evaluati on
The hydrogeologic cross-sections were prepared to evaluate the depth and locations of exploratory borings and potential new wells required in each of the three top-ranking alternatives. Hydrogeologic cross-sections were developed through the proposed well alignments. Cross-section locations are shown on Figure 2 and the crosssections are presented on Figures 3 and 4. Water quality data collected and reviewed for this evaluation are shown on the cross-sections and in Table 4.
Evaluation of these cross-sections revealed the following:
• The entire study area appears to be underlain by the Corcoran Clay (E-clay) formation, a laterally extensive aquiclude separating the shallow aquifer from deeper aquifers throughout a large area of the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. This observation is based on the extent of the E-clay as interpreted by GEI for this study. The USGS interpretation of the E-clay in this area does not fully extend to the northern end of A-A’. Typically, groundwater beneath the E-clay is better quality than groundwater above the clay layer. This appears to be the case in Mountain House based on the existing water quality data reviewed for this study; however, field verification is required. • The depth to the E-clay varies between approximately 200 to 350 feet below ground surface on crosssections A-A’ and B-B’ and is approximately 150 feet thick. • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in samples collected from monitoring well Condor 17D (Figure 2) located near the WTP is 14,000 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and the secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 500 mg/l. This represents shallow groundwater above the Corcoran Clay in this portion of the basin.

• TDS in samples collected below the E-clay near the east end of cross-section B-B’ in well 02S/04E-18P ranged between 400 and 760 mg/L.
• Most of the well and soils information evaluated for this study are for shallow wells screened above the Corcoran Clay because very few deep wells or exploratory borings exist in this area of the basin. The cross-sections show the total depth, screened intervals, and soil textures for all the wells we considered in our evaluation. These wells are located within a half-mile distance from AA’or BB’.
Cos t Compa riso n
This section provides a summary of estimated cost to plan, design, and construct each of the top three ranking alternatives described above. The costs are summarized and totaled for each Alternative in Table 5. A brief explanation of each cost estimating assumption is also provided in this section.
Key Cost Estimating Assumptions
Rank 1 (Alternative 1): ASR in Northern Area of District in Vicinity of WTP:
• One ASR well located on the District’s WTP property.
• Drilling and reaming extending 1,200 bgs.
• All stainless-steel casing and screen 16-18” in diameter. • Well and above ground equipment would be enclosed in the new well building. • Groundwater (and stored surface water) extracted from this well only requires chlorine addition, no further treatment require. This assumption needs to be verified through a field exploration program.
Rank 2 (Alternative7): ASR on Von Sosten Road
• Same assumptions as Alternative 1.
• A 3-mile long 12” pipeline connecting the ASR well on the east with the District drinking water distribution system on the west.
Rank 3 (Alternative 4): Well Field of Shallow Wells (<200 feet) near WTP and Pump Back to WTP:
• This alternative assumes that native shallow groundwater will require treatment to reduce TDS from 14,000 mg/l to below 500 mg/l for use as a drinking water supply. Treatment process assumed is RO with a capacity of treating an influent stream of 3,500 gallons per minute.
• A wellfield of 10 shallow (approximately 200 foot) groundwater extraction wells, each producing 350 gpm. This is not an ASR option.
• Wells are not within well buildings and will be equipped with submersible pumps. • The wellfield would be near the WTP and spaced to avoid well interference affects during pumping on property currently owned by the District.

Imp lemen tat ion Plan
This section briefly summarizes recommendations for environmental and regulatory planning, field exploration, and schedule.
Environmental Planning
Environmental review will need to include the following at a minimum:
• Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historical Preservation Act. • Compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. • Evaluation of the need for a Clean Water Act Section 401 or 404 permit for the pipeline crossing on Von Sosten Road.
It is recommended that the District proceed with an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the preferred project following completion of the field exploration program. The field exploration program can proceed under a categorical exemption from CEQA since the purpose of the field program is to collect data and information needed to plan and design the preferred alternative.
ASR Regulatory Considerations
If the results of the field exploration program indicate that a preferred alternative is feasible, GEI would recommend that a single production or ASR well (depending on which alternative is ultimately selected) be constructed and tested. Testing should include aquifer testing, ASR pilot injection testing (if an ASR alternative is selected) and water quality sample collection and analysis. ASR pilot injection testing will require a permit, or Notice of Applicability from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. GEI recommends filing for a request to pilot test under the Statewide ASR General Order adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board in 2012.
Field Exploration
GEI recommends proceeding with exploratory drilling and monitoring well construction at the two locations identified on Figure 1. Information gained through this field exploration program is needed to finalize the ranking of these top three alternatives. A work plan and contractor specifications should be prepared and reviewed by the District before proceeding with the field program.
Schedule
The following is an approximate schedule for implementation of either of the two top ranking alternatives and includes the recommended sequence and duration of activities:
• Preparation of Field Exploration Work Plan and contractor specifications and filing for categorical exemption: 3 months.
• Implementation of Field Exploration Program, including pilot injection permitting and testing: 12 to 24 months.
• Development of design package for selected alternative: 6 to 9 months

• Environmental Documentation - Commence following completion of 30% design package: 3- 6 months
• ASR Permitting – Commence following completion of ASR Pilot Testing: 9 months • Construction of Project Facilities: 12 to 18 months following completion of environmental documentation and permitting.

TITLE: Approve Water Treatment Plant Filter Media Replacement Project MEETING DATE: August 27, 2025
PREPARED BY: Karen Morgan, Utility Manager
Jodi Almassy, Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement A-2526-31 with Calgon Carbon Corporation in the amount of $1,108,636 for the removal of filter bed carbon and sand media as part of the Water Treatment Plant Filter Media Replacement Project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement A-2526-30 with ERS Industrial Services Inc. in the amount of $249,380 for the replacement of filter bed underdrain nozzles as part of the same project.
3. Approve an exception to the competitive procurement process in accordance with Section 200, Purchasing, of the Financial Management Manual.
4. Approve a budget adjustment of $800,000 from the Capital Improvement Program – Facility Repairs Project (Account No. 502-5000-7415) to the Water Operations Fund (Account No. 501- 1510-6225).
5. Authorize the City Manager to take all actions necessary to implement the purpose and intent of this resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Mountain House Water Treatment Plant has been providing safe, clean drinking water to the community since 2007. The facility uses a multi-barrier treatment process to remove contaminants and protect public health. Water entering the plant passes through three main stages:
• Coagulation and Sedimentation – Particles in the water are combined into larger clumps that settle out and are transferred to sludge basins.
• Filtration – Water flows through filters containing granular activated carbon (GAC) and sand. The GAC has millions of tiny pores that trap and adsorb contaminants, while the sand helps remove fine particles.
Item 8.3
Mountain House Page 323 of 621
• Disinfection – Chloramination, a process using chlorine and ammonia, along with ultraviolet (UV) light, is used to destroy harmful microorganisms before the water enters the distribution system.
When the plant was constructed, it was equipped with approximately 8,400 cubic feet of GAC and 2,100 cubic feet of sand in its filters. Over time, these filter materials naturally lose effectiveness and must be replaced to maintain optimal water quality and meet regulatory standards.
GAC replacement is determined by performance monitoring, water quality testing, and the media’s age.
Recent sampling and visual inspections confirm the existing carbon has reached the end of its useful life and adsorption capacity. To maintain compliance with all regulatory water quality standards and ensure the City continues delivering safe, high-quality drinking water, replacement is now required.
Each filter bed also contains underdrain nozzles with an expected lifespan of approximately fifteen years.
These nozzles prevent sand and carbon from passing downstream in the treatment process. The original nozzles, installed in 2007, have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced concurrently with the GAC to avoid potential failure and unplanned service interruptions.
DISCUSSION
This Water Treatment Plant Filter Media Replacement Project is essential to maintaining Mountain House’s safe, high-quality drinking water. The work involves replacing the Water Treatment Plant’s GAC filter media and underdrain nozzles, both highly specialized components that require unique expertise and equipment.
Two qualified vendors were identified for the Water Treatment Plant Filter Media Replacement Project.
Calgon Carbon Corporation was selected for the removal of filter bed carbon and sand media as part of the project. They were chosen for its United States-sourced and processed carbon, competitive pricing, and extensive municipal water treatment experience. Although the alternate proposal received from Carbon Activated Corporation was slightly lower in cost, it relied on internationally sourced materials that did not meet the City’s preference for domestically processed carbon to ensure quality and compliance.
The underdrain nozzle replacement will be performed by ERS Industrial Services Inc., a firm with specialized experience in the exact nozzle system used at the plant. Their expertise will ensure the work is completed correctly and coordinated with the GAC replacement to avoid delays.
Under the City’s Financial Management Manual, purchases over $100,000 normally require three competitive bids unless an exception is approved. Due to the limited number of qualified vendors and the critical nature of this infrastructure, staff recommends Council approve an exception to the competitive procurement process and to authorize agreements with Calgon Carbon Corporation in the amount of $1,108,636, and ERS Industrial Services Inc. in the amount of $249,380, so the work can proceed without delay, safeguarding critical water treatment operations.
Item 8.3
Mountain House Page 324 of 621
Work is anticipated to begin late fall 2025 and be completed before spring 2026. With redundancy in the water treatment operations, there will be no impact in the delivery of water to customers.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total project cost is broken down as follows:
Project Component Vendor Cost
GAC Media Removal and Replacement Calgon Carbon Corporation $1,108,636 Underdrain Nozzle Replacement ERS Industrial Services Inc. $249,380 Total $1,358,016
Of this total, approximately $558,016 is currently available within the approved budget. Partial funding was originally included in the Capital Improvement Program – Facility Repairs Budget; however, under current practices, repair and maintenance costs must be expensed from the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget.
Staff recommends City Council approve a formal budget adjustment of $800,000 from the Capital Improvement Program – Facility Repairs Project (Account No. 502-5000-7415) to the Water Operations Fund (Account No. 501-1510-6225) to fully fund the project.
Approval of this item will authorize the necessary budget adjustments and appropriations to ensure the project may proceed without delay.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This project advances the City’s Strategic Plan by:
• Ensuring reliable infrastructure through timely replacement of critical treatment components. • Protecting public health and safety by maintaining compliance with drinking water standards. • Promoting fiscal responsibility by avoiding costly emergency repairs and extending facility life.
CEQA
Not applicable. This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. The work involves replacement and maintenance of existing equipment at the Water Treatment Plant with no expansion of use or new environmental impacts.
Item 8.3
Mountain House Page 325 of 621
ACTION FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
Upon approval, the City Manager will execute Agreements A-2526-31 with Calgon Carbon Corporation and A-2526-30 with ERS Industrial Services Inc. Staff will also process the approved budget adjustment.

TITLE: Approve Town Hall Tenant Improvements Project
MEETING DATE: August 27, 2025
PREPARED BY: Harold Holland, Design-Build Consultant
Jodi Almassy, Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement A-2526-33 with Diede Construction in the amount of $858,000, which includes a contingency of $100,000.
2. Approve a budget adjustment of $593,800 between Capital Improvement Program funds, from the Corporation Yard Improvements Project (Account No. 606-5000-7438) to the Town Hall & Library Improvements Project (Account No. 606-5000-7407).
3. Authorize the City Manager to take all actions necessary to implement the purpose and intent of this resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Mountain House Town Hall was originally designed to accommodate additional staff as the city adds population and additional services. Recent service expansions, including the addition of building division functions, utility billing, and assessor services, have required new personnel, creating immediate pressure on available office space.
Looking ahead, the City anticipates future growth in Public Safety operations. A portion of the first floor of Town Hall has been reserved for Police and Fire expansion. Once programming and design for that phase are complete, the project will require relocation of the Administrative Services team, which currently occupies space needed for Public Safety. That future phase will include a full build-out of the first floor to support law enforcement and other critical functions.
The current phase of the project focuses on addressing today’s staffing needs through targeted secondfloor tenant improvements. The scope of work includes:
• Construction of new private offices within existing open office areas on the second floor. • Enclosure of an existing room with a partition wall to create a new meeting room. • Associated modifications to electrical, telecommunications, mechanical (HVAC), and lighting systems.
Item 8.4
Mountain House Page 370 of 621
• Preliminary engineering and limited first-floor improvements to support future Public Safety expansion.
All improvements will be consistent with or exceed the quality of existing building finishes and systems.
Where practicable, new products and systems will match existing ones to ensure a seamless integration.
This phased approach enables the City to respond to immediate staffing pressures while preserving flexibility for the future first-floor expansion necessary to support long-term Public Safety and Administrative Services growth.
DISCUSSION
On June 18, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified design-build firms to provide comprehensive services for second-floor tenant improvements to Town Hall. The RFP outlined requirements for design, permitting, and construction to expand and reconfigure the existing facility in a cost-effective and timely manner. A mandatory pre-submittal conference was held on June 24, 2025.
The RFP closed on July 9, 2025, and the City received proposals from three firms:
• Diede Construction
• Paradigm Construction
• Roebbelen Construction
Proposals were evaluated based on project understanding, design approach, team qualifications, relevant experience, and cost. Interviews were conducted on July 23, 2025, with Diede Construction and Paradigm Construction.
Following evaluation, staff determined that Diede Construction best met the City’s needs, offering the most competitive pricing and demonstrating strong municipal facility experience and a clear understanding of the project’s requirements.
Accordingly, staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement A2526-33 with Diede Construction for the Town Hall Tenant Improvements Project in the amount of $858,000, which already includes a contingency of $100,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Town Hall Tenant Improvements Project is $858,000, which already includes a contingency of $100,000. Sufficient appropriations are available within the Capital Improvement Program budget; however, a budget adjustment is required to align project funding.
Item 8.4
Mountain House Page 371 of 621
Staff recommends transferring $593,800 from the Corporation Yard Improvements Project (Account No. 606-5000-7438) to the Town Hall & Library Improvements Project (Account No. 606-5000-7407). This transfer, combined with existing funds in the Town Hall & Library Improvements Project, will fully fund Agreement A-2526-33 with Diede Construction.
Approval of this item will authorize the necessary budget adjustment and ensure that the project may proceed without delay.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Town Hall Tenant Improvements Project supports the City’s Strategic Plan adopted by City Council on April 9, 2025, by:
• Enhancing Organizational Capacity – Providing additional office and meeting space to accommodate new staff positions created by expanded City services. • Supporting Public Safety Growth – Preparing for future reconfiguration of the first floor to house expanded Police and Fire operations by addressing current space needs on the second floor. • Ensuring Efficient Service Delivery – Improving staff workspace and functionality to better serve residents and support day-to-day operations.
• Investing in Reliable Infrastructure – Making long-term, high-quality improvements that extend the usefulness of existing municipal facilities.
CEQA
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities). The scope of work consists of interior tenant improvements to the existing Town Hall facility, including the addition of private offices, a meeting room, and associated building system modifications. The project does not involve an expansion of use or create new environmental impacts.
ACTION FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
Upon approval, the City Manager will execute Agreement A-2526-33 with Diede Construction in the amount of $858,000.

PROFILE
Stephen joined the Diede Construction team
over two years ago. Although the construction
trade was new to Stephen, it was not entirely
foreign as he had been exposed to some
elements in the past. However, it was his
background in computer science that helped him
to effortlessly navigate our systems and
practices. Initially, he was hired as a Project
Coordinator where he learned the trade both
from an administrative and field approach.
Quickly, he became familiar with the processes
and hurdles of Project Management in both
private and public sectors which led to his
promotion to Assistant Project Manager.
Since his promotion, he has had the opportunity
to work through a variety of projects developing
his expertise within the construction field.
Stephen has become a true asset to the Diede
family; his strong work ethic and keen eye for
detail are reflected in every project he is a part
of.

Having been with the company for most of its
existence, Steve has worked closely with the

UC Davis Engineering Student
Design Center
Davis, CA
Diede Construction teamed with WMB Architects in the Design- Build delivery of this renovation and expansion to the College of Engineering's Student Design Center. The project includes repurposing the existing ESDC shop space in the one story north wing of Bainer Hall for instructional rooms, specialized laboratory spaces for electronics, composites, and woodworking, huddle rooms, student start up center, and staff support spaces.
A 14,000 square foot addition accommodates a larger open shop space with collaboration areas and a covered student plaza. Substantial roll-up doors allow for the transfer of larger projects between interior and exterior spaces.
The Design-Build Team worked closely with the User Group to coordinate existing and future shop equipment, fume hoods, dust collection, and materials storage. Significant building code challenges addressed by the Team include high pile storage, hazardous materials storage, and the establishment of a separate fire control area.
