1. WS-22-162 Present Master Schedule for Grant Applications and Final Design for the Lake Rialto Project
Tom began presentation going through the schedule.
Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson said she took the concept to the Bureau of Reclamation a few years ago. She is concerned about the infrastructure funds availability; she hopes to go back and look when there is a timeframe to look at anything that can be submitted to the Bureau of Reclamation. She has requested information and other activities regarding the Bureau of Reclamation to Jamie Jones.
Mayor Robertson asked, have we come up with a total estimated cost to deliver the Lake Rialto project? Tom responded, $8,000,000. What about the septic to sewer? Tom said he met with Supervisor Baca’s staff yesterday. Tom mentioned the preliminary study and its phasing approach, like the first phase being about $2.5 m. The County was willing to use some of their ARPA funds, $1,000,000, to help us on the project. Tom said that we have to make a decision when submitting the grant, either submit for the full $8 m illion project or we can go for the phase approach. If we decide to submit full cost of the project, we will have to be competing for the $14 million SAWPA funds with everybody else. For 3 the phase approach, Tom said, we can use some of the County ARPA funds and maybe identify some additional funds on our end to help meet the costs along with the grant funds.
Mayor remembers about some residential parcels on septic in the IEUA territory. Should we also be partnering with IEUA? Tom said, we should start recognizing where those septic systems are in the IEUA service area. More specifically, that service area located on our western edge had many disadvantage community areas. Mayor Robertson agreed with Tom.
MPT Scott said why is he having meetings with the County Supervisor without an Elected Official with them ? He told City Manager that protocol is elected to elected. Mr. Baca shouldn’t do that.
Mayor said she is excited about the IEUA and they should be able to come to the table.
Mayor said she wou ld hope that we get together with Stephen, Tom, Mayor/MPT and Marcus. Mayor said there are better coordination that needs to be had.
2. WS-22-163 Final Construction Work Authorization to Rialto Water Services in the amount of $270,907 for Rialto Biosolids Upgrade Study, Plant 1&2 Demolition Design and GMP Preparation, and Additional Electrical Design for the Microgrid Project.
Tom gave the presentation. Megan added information to his presentation.
Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor Robertson said, I want to make sure that as we do this, know that we also are going to be able to handle different types of other solids and wastes. She was not aware we can use it in the process of a microgrid project. She wants to understand more regarding the biosolids. She said MPT Scott brought up to her organic waste can be used in our process in the digester. She said with the organic waste must extract from the landfill and it can be used in the microgrid to cover/add to our operation.
MPT Scott said it’s clear that Burrtec doesn’t have a plan. He doesn’t know how they are going to handle the material. He said, we should sit down with Anaergia and have a discussion about whether or not we want to put a processing equipment on the City’s site.
However, the bigger question becomes who’s going to process it. Is there an opportunity to bring that material to us? He wonders how Burrtec is going to succeed. The grocery store bags for produce are what’s being used. These skimpy thin bags rip easily when they are put into a green waste container. When it gets to the other end, how are they going to sort it. MPT mentioned that he already asked Burrtec about these issues , and he still not getting a straight answer.
Anaergia is out buying this material from other places or looking for it from other places that don’t have a solid contract with Burrtec or Athens. He feels that it’s an opportunity to focus on Rialto to get that material. MPT wants to have a conversation about the location of the processing equipment down on our site.
4 The quality of fog is sketchy, and the better solution is the organic waste. MPT suggested for next meeting to have a discussion with Anaergia or have a separate meeting outside of this forum. Mayor Robertson said when we had Anaergia in those meetings, they were still working out bugs. They have the equipment and operat e fully now. She mentioned on one of her visits to Anaergia with IEUA, they were very clear that they were operating on these sites. They were also planned to replicate that to almost 200 sites throughout California. She said, state mandates that the waste has to go to a specific destination not to the landfill. Moreover, we can’t let it flow down in the ocean.
MPT added when this material is ground up there has to be water used in it. Maybe another opportunity for us to use some of the affluent that isn’t going to be sold the IEUA to help process this material. He thinks that there is an advantage for us there. He said the company that we permitted to grind up the bottles has a plant that does that in San Bernardino. It might be worth talking to them, the plan t has been operating for a while.
They are buying material from Athens and trying to buy material from Burrtec. Mayor said she would like to sit down with Anaergia and find out if they would have a processor that can handle our organic waste. Also, reaching out to our neighbors to secure their organic waste. Megan said talked about their visit to Anaergia site, back in 2012.
Mayor Robertson said, the City Manager and staff need to give them an assessment of what is happening around the region. Mayor said that this is not on SCAG’s radar. MPT Scott asked if it ha d been discussed at SBCTA. She said absolutely not. He said that the county should be taking the lead on this. He said, the real problem with this is that it has to be done by hand. It will require high wages to be able to attract people to perform that kind of work. Mayor said when the meeting with Anaergia is setup to include Megan and Peter. MPT believes that Waste Management is ahead of Burrtec. He mentioned that Montclair is already doing it, they work with Waste Management. He said we need to educate residents to learn how to separate this material. He said other countries, such Korea, have been doing this for a long time. We need to follow their example. He added, we should be supplying bins or bag to facilitate the work for recycling to our residents.
MPT mentioned another issue during the process of this material is the high amount of nitrate that has to be extracted. Mayor is also concerned about the transportation of nitrate. Tom said Anaergia does its discharges to the brine line . The material that they can’t process or return to the front of the plant, is discharge to the brine line. Mayor asked about Niagara . Tom said that Niagara truck s its brine to the City of San Bernardino connection point. Mayor wants to know if we truck off our solid waste from the plant. He said, yes, that goes out to AZ to be reused in agriculture.
MPT mentioned that Anaergia only wants to buy processed material. He said that these companies buy from multiple places, they can’t get a long -term contract. He said that Waste Management may be one of them. Megan said that one of the issues from these models with no long-term contracts is that you can’t long -term finance. Marcus said we should look back at the FOG method. It may be a more practical approach for the organic waste.
5 Mayor wants to know where Burrtec is disposing their waste. Somehow, we get an annual refund from CalRecycle. She asked if someone could chart what those dollars have been over that last 10 years, based on the products and materials that we used to recycle.
Subcommittee said to prepare and take to Council.
3. WS-22-164 Update on the Payment Trends during the City’s Local Emergency due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Tom gave presentation – used graphs from Council staff report – delinquent accounts
Committee Comments/Recommendations
MPT commented on Tom’s presentation, he told him that the council instructed him to look at Edison’s model and use their payment plan. He said that Edison does not turn off customers’ electricity, they put them on a payment plan without asking. They give two options to their users, either pay the full amount or stay on the payment plan. Mayor asked, have we been shutting off water – no. She wants to know how people know that we are in a moratorium. Mayor wants to know if customers have received any type of communication regarding their past due bills. She asked if there was a report done on what Rolf chose to do after council asked to implement Edison’s plan? MPT thought that we were going to just roll the plan out. Rolf said that they are coming back now to get direction. MPT said unless other utilities like Edison start shutting off, we shouldn’t do that.
MPT said to just roll -in customers into the payment plan and avoid waiting time. MPT said to send a letter or bill to users to inform them that they are in a payment plan and offer them options. Mayor said go back and see how many people have been using the CARES Act funds. Marcus said it will be a good time to add the QR Code. He said we also talked about waiving the penalty fees. What would be do with those. MPT said that the answer is to roll out the payment plan . Tom said there has not been any penalties and late fees assessed to any customers . MPT said that another question for Edison.
Marcus asked, a re they expecting anything for the nex t Council meeting? MPT asked Robert, do we have to get approval from the Council for Veolia to just automatically roll out a payment plan or can we do it and just inform the council? He believes that it should go to Council for ratification.
Side note
MPT said Council members need to get a summary of the subcommittee meetings, so they know what projects are being worked on.
4. WS-22-165 List of Capital Improvement Projects for Water and Wastewater Systems.
Tom gave presentation - Hydrant replacements.
Committee Comments/Recommendations
Mayor wants the exact number of replace versus repaired. He said the chart does not show new. MPT asked about 99 Cents Store leak. Tom said the issue is on the store’s 6 end, and they will get back with them. Why is there no procedure in place to deal with a leak? He said there is a draft and when finalized will be implemented immediately. MPT asked Marcus – we have employees (PW, Fire, PD) driving down Cedar watching that leak for two years. You would think they would see the leak and report it. Marcus asked Tom to put a SOP together. Marcus said that all our staff should be reporting issues.
MPT said that’s probably part of our Landscape District.
Mayor asked how we assist the community when these leaks are reported, because of the leak. She suggested to coordinate with the sweeping group to eliminate carrying the debris and trash all the way down to Foothill. How long does it take to do the repairs and how long is the wa ter off? Tom said if it’s service line an hour or so. If it’s a mainline repair, it could affect multiple residents, when that happens, Veolia delivers water to them.
Mayor asked Rolf to have a mainline chart/list. She’s asked, have we finished with anything that was brought up in the beginning?
Mayor said, we need to have a conversation with two elected members from West Valley and our staff and make it very clear about the major investment on Riverside Ave.
Tom went to the Valves repair/replace chart.
UPDATES:
Tom said that he has been working with West Valley staff regarding the paving project north of baseline. Service laterals need to relocate down to below the elevation we need to the paving product. Tom said, t hey do have a 6’ water line on the west side of the street that runs underneath the curb and sidewalk between Baseline to Walnut, it is an old line. He added, it only serves 6 parcels, they are going to disconnect it from the system and moving those 6 connecting points over to the 10’ line. Tom said that the y presented this to the paving contractors . They have 25 service laterals that they have to lower or reconnect to the 10’ line and 6’ line. All the fire hydrants are all well below grade. Mayor said to put it in writing.
Mayor said the liability falls with the board not with the staff. She doesn’t think th at the information is not getting to the board. MPT talked about the condition of patch paving on Riverside, they are not good. MPT asked Marcus where is our standard Public Works signage that we post regarding the projects. Mayor suggested to install camaras to keep track of the progress for construction projects.
Tom talked about the maintenance report on Riverside by the entrance into where Cork’s restaurant is. West Valley closed the line and when they did, it damaged the line. Our guys went out turned the line off and water stopped. West Valley will pay the cost of the damaged line. Mayor asked how mu ch water was lost. He said it ran for about 6 hours before we were contacted. Tom will find out what that quantity was. She asked if we have an incident report and wants it shared with the rest of the Council.
Mayor would like to get alerts, what they are going to be doing that day.

For Water Subcommittee Meeting [March 23, 2022]
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
FROM: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities Manager
Review of Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects and Financial Options
BACKGROUND
At the November 2021 Water Subcommittee meeting staff was directed to comeback with a revised and more thorough water and wastewater Capital Improvement Plan that consider the Master Plan revisions, Annual Asset Management Plan, Citywide Development Plan, paving projects, and the WIFIA application.
The list of projects is broken down by the core wastewater projects and the core water projects by fiscal year. In addition, we have included a list of Special Projects that have been identified. Special projects are not identified by fiscal year since they are tied to grants, loans, or special financing. See attached spread sheet with more detailed information.
Rialto Water Services will provide a presentation on the plan and the sources of funds; WIFIA, RWS/other sources, grants, incentive programs, or repayment through the rates.
In addition, RWS is requesting to create a $1.5 million emergency Operating Repair and Replacement (OR&R) program over the next 5 years to stay pace with the OR&R projects within the wastewater fund. This would ensure an effective balance between planned and emergency OR&R projects. We would budget an additional $300,000 per year for emergency purposes only so the planned projects can be completed as planned. Over the last couple of years some of the planned projects have been delayed due to emergency projects taking priority. Use of funds would be subject to the same OR&R review and approval process used for planned OR&R projects. Water OR&R fund is stable and does not require an emergency fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive presentation and provide direction.

Use of the fund would be subject to the same ORR review and approval process used for planned ORR. Water ORR is stable and does not require an emergency ORR fund.

APPROVAL: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities Manager
Consider a Santa Ana River Habitat Conservation Plan Well Site at Rialto’sWastewater Treatment Plant.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the IEUA Principles of Agreement, IEUA agreed to “…fund a maximum of $1 million (2019 cost estimate) the construction of one groundwater well adjacent to the Santa Ana River or the construction of a gravity pipeline from the bottom of the future Lake Rialto, with a preferred location within the City’sproperty; the purpose of the project is to provide cold water for the benefit of the native species while the Rialto water is diverted to the IEUA recycled water distribution system”.
Cost over the $1 million contribution would be the responsibility of the City, or other agencies.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
There is concurrent an interest by the San Bernardino Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) to also identify and provide cold water for the benefit of the native species within the Santa Ana River Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). A similar well concept had been previously discussed. However, until the City and IEUA approved the Principles of Agreement, detailed exploration of a potential well facility was not prudent. Now that the Principles of Agreement is approved, exploration of the well is timely and necessary. Potential synergies could ultimately reduce the cost to the City. Staff from SBVMWD have requested an opportunity to explore these synergies. This effort was anticipated and included under Task 2 “Evaluation of the need for a supplemental well” of Dopudja & Wells scope of work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact identified at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide direction.

Extraterritorial Wastewater Service Agreement with Bloomington Hills, LLC, for the property located at 11279 Cedar Avenue, Bloomington, CA, Assessor’s Parcel Number 0257-101-09-0000.
BACKGROUND:
Bloomington Hills, LLC, (BH) a California Limited Liability Company, is the owner of the property located at 11279 Cedar Avenue in Bloomington, CA. This property is at the northeast corner of Cedar and Jurupa Avenues in an unincorporated area of San Bernardino County. The Assessor’s Parcel Number is 0257-101-09-0000. Bloomington Hills is developing a proposed gas station, convenience store, drive thru restaurant and car wash at this location. Due to the car wash, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and San Bernardino County are requiring Bloomington Hills to connect to a sewer system at the closets possible connection point. A copy of a location map and site plan showing the property is included.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The closets connection point to the City’ssewer system is at the intersection of Cedar and Santa Ana Avenues. To connect, the developer will be required to construct a privately owned and operated sewer lift station and associated force main along Cedar Ave. The City’s sewer line and the wastewater treatment plant have sufficient capacity to accept the proposed sewer connection for the proposed project.
It should be noted that an Extraterritorial Service Agreement is required to be approved by the City Council and the Local Area Formation Commission prior to the project being completed. This agreement describes the duties and responsibilities of the City of Rialto, and the property owner.
There are no costs to the City to construct this project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
To connect to the City’s Wastewater system, the developer will be required to make a one-time Development Impact Fee payment at the Extraterritorial Rate of 1.3 times the standard rate. The required connection fees are determined by the planned use of the facility and are estimated at $101,648.39 for both Wastewater Collection and Treatment fees. The calculations are shown in Table 1 below.

Operating Budget Impact
Rialto Water Services will bill the property owner for service at the subject property at 1.3 times the standard applicable sewer rate and the Rialto Utility Authority will absorb the operating costs to serve the property, within the Concession Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests the Water Subcommittee recommend the City Council adopt a Resolution and Rialto Utility Authority Resolution, approving an Extraterritorial Wastewater Service Agreement with Bloomington Hills, LLC, for the property located at 11279 Cedar Avenue, Bloomington, CA, Assessor’s Parcel Number 0257-101-09-0000.

$5 billion to decarbonize the nation’s school
bus fleet through:
$500M annually for zero emission school buses
$500M annually for clean school buses and zero
emission school buses
Zero emission school buses are defined as a
vehicle that does not emit any pollutant under section
108(a) of the Clean Air Act or any greenhouse gas.
Clean school buses are defined as zero emission
school buses or a bus that reduces emissions while
using natural gas, hydrogen, propane, or biofuels.
There are approximately 500,000 school buses in
the United States that transport over 20 million students to and from school.
• Less than 2,000 school buses are currently electric
• Studies show students in school buses can be exposed
to air pollution that significantly exceed ambient levels Electric school buses save money over the long-
term, but school districts often need assistance meeting up-front capital requirements.
Through a mix of rebates and competitive grants we
will be able to accelerate school bus decarbonization while targeting efforts to reduce emissions in vulnerable
communities.
41 • State or local governmental entities responsible
for:
• Providing school bus service to one or more
public school systems; or
• Purchase of school buses
• Eligible contractor
• For profit, not-for-profit, or nonprofit entity that
has the capacity to:
• Sell clean school buses, zero emission
buses, charging or fueling infrastructure,

48 Challenge
Some state SRF programs are already at capacity, understaffed, or face statutory and political hurdles to expanding their internal capacity. Some states may struggle to manage the scale of BIL allotments, and to manage an influx of many more, smaller applications from small and disadvantaged communities. Approach
States can increase staffing and capacity through BIL state administrative funds. Trainings, webinars, playbooks and best practices.
Dialogues with state programs to understand unique hurdles and build a tailored, state- by-state approach to supporting SRFs.
EPA can provide implementation support through contractors that can relieve burdens on state programs.

SRF: SUPPORTING STATES
49 Primary Goal in Year 1: Provide grant funding to small and disadvantaged communities to address emerging contaminants (including PFAS) from drinking water.
Implementation Approach:
Develop allocation formula, considering: Congressional intent to prioritize PFAS, focus of the funding to small and disadvantaged communities, and available data on emerging contaminants, population in poverty, etc. Engage state programs and stakeholders (including non-profit organizations) to ground-truth potential implementation challenges and build a tailored approach to support states and their respective small and disadvantaged communities. Engage EPA regions, states, and stakeholders throughout the implementation process and assist in grant implementation. Implementation Activities and Year 1 Milestones:
Plan to finalize allocation formula for FY22 funding by Spring ‘22 and release implementation document by Summer ‘22. Provide technical assistance to states and support, in collaboration with state associations and local organizations, to communities targeted for funding and assist in preparing, planning, scoping activities in grant applications. Coordinate with DWSRF technical assistance effort and outreach to small and disadvantaged communities. These systems would also be eligible for funding under the DWSRF.

CHEMICAL SAFETY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION – IIJA INVESTMENTS $100 million to expand the Pollution
Prevention (P2) program
P2 Grants provide technical assistance to
businesses to help them develop and adopt source
reduction practices that reduce toxic pollutants, the
use of water, energy and other raw materials, while
also lowering business costs.
P2 grants are awarded to States, state-sponsored
colleges and universities, and federally-recognized
tribes and intertribal consortia.
IIJA provides a significant increase in annual
funding that will be used to both increase the number
and size of awards.
The significant increase in funding will accelerate
our engagement in disadvantaged
communities and across P2 National
Emphasis Areas that include:
Food and Beverage Manufacturing and
Processing
Chemical Manufacturing, Processing and
Formulation
Automotive Manufacturing and Maintenance
Aerospace Product and Parts Manufacturing
and Maintenance
Metal Manufacturing and Fabrication; and
A new National Emphasis Area to support P2
technical assistance among businesses in
Indian Country
54 BIL funds for EPA’s P2 Grant program will deliver technical assistance to businesses to identify and adopt source reduction practices (and technologies) that benefit businesses, communities, and local economies. P2 Grants will benefit the environment and communities by preventing pollution at the source, and reduce exposure to pollutants by individuals, communities, and the environment. P2 has also proven to be cost-saving and support jobs and local economies.
EPA is developing specific metrics, measures, and accounting tools to provide additional oversight. In addition to OIG oversight the P2 Program plans to conduct program evaluation for the BIL initiatives associated with P2 Grants.
PRELIMINARY- LAST UPDATED 2/28/2022
VISION FOR THE PROGRAMS
55 P2 Grant funds will be awarded through competitive grants to eligible entities:
states, Tribes, and state/Tribe sponsored institutions (e.g.,colleges and universities) EPA will develop a portfolio of grants, leveraging the current P2 Grant framework and introduce two additional grant programs to focus on P2 for facilities in disadvantaged communities and increasing their access to safer/sustainable products and services
BIL removes the matching requirement for P2 Grants (which would otherwise be 50%), increasing access to P2 Grants.

For Water Subcommittee Meeting [March 23, 2022]
TO: Water Subcommittee Members
APPROVAL: Thomas J. Crowley, P.E., Utilities Manager
Review Water and Wastewater Plan Review Process.
BACKGROUND:
Currently there are procedures in place to review water and wastewater improvements plans provided by developers and project applicates. Below is a summary of the procedures for onsite and off-site improvements.
On Site Improvements
· If a project is being submitted for On-Site Improvements, plans are routed to Building, Planning, Engineering, Fire, and Utilities for review and comments. Once comments have been received and all departments have approved the plans, the applicant is notified that the plans have completed the plan check process and is ready for the permit issuance phase. · Once the fees are paid, a permit is issued to begin work. As the work progress inspections are provided. Departments that may be involved in the inspection process are Building, Planning, Engineering, Fire, Police, Health, Public Works, and Utilities. Once the work is completed and all departments have concurred the project is complete a Certificate of Occupancy is issued, and the permit is closed out.
Off-Site Improvements Only
· If the wok only pertains to the Off-Site Improvements that take place in the Public Right of Way, the project plans would be routed through the Engineering Department for plan check review and approval. If Utilities are being impacted, then plans will be route to Utilities for review and comment. Once comments have been received and all departments affected have approved the plans, the applicant is notified that the plans have completed the plan check process and is ready for the issuance of an encroachment permit.
· Once the fees are paid, an encroachment permit is issued to enter the right of way to install the improvements. Departments that may be involved in the inspection process are Engineering, Public Works, and Utilities. Once the work is completed and all departments have concurred that the project is complete, a final acceptance is issued and the permit is closed out.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact identified at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and provide direction.
