COST SHARING AGREEMENT FOR THE RIVERSIDE HABITAT, PARKS, AND
WATER PROJECT - PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND DESIGN
BETWEEN
SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
AND CITY OF RIVERSIDE
PARTIES
This Cost Sharing Agreement for the Riverside Habitat, Parks, and Water Project
RECITALS
2.1 The Parties produce and serve water in areas including the Upper Santa Ana River Basin (the "Upper SAR Basin"). The Parties have undertaken and will undertake various projects regarding production, service, and conservation of water in the Upper SAR Basin, which projects may have environmental impacts to the Santa Ana Sucker (Catostomus santannae) and other species or habitats.
2.2 The Parties, together with nine other local public agencies in the Upper Santa Ana Basin, are working cooperatively with the relevant state and federal resource agencies to develop the Upper Santa Ana River Habitat Conservation Plan ("HCP") and other associated environmental permits to mitigate impacts to the Santa Ana Sucker and other species, and related aquatic, riparian and upland habitat. Tentatively, the entity that will implement and manage the Upper Santa Ana River Basin HCP will be called the Upper Santa Ana River Sustainable Resources Alliance ("River Alliance").
2.3 While environmental review and finalization of the HCP progresses, the Parties desire to move forward on certain river and tributary restoration projects to facilitate the establishment, restoration and enhancement of environmental values on the Upper SAR Basin, its tributaries and associated riparian and upland habitat (the "Environmental Values"). These projects (collectively, as described further below, the "Restoration Projects") will serve to mitigate the effects of activities proposed to be covered by the HCP, but have independent utility and will be of value should the HCP not be finalized and adopted.
2.4 The Parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in August 2019 with the intent to work cooperatively to evaluate components of the RHPWP and the Restoration Projects.
Restoration Projects. Valley District, as lead agency and on behalf of the River Alliance, is pursuing restoration efforts at Hidden Valley Creek, Hole Creek, Anza Creek, and Old Ranch Creek, as described in the Upper Santa Ana River Tributaries Restoration Project and Mitigation Reserve Program Final Environmental Impact Report that was approved by Valley 01376.00079\7218773.3
District's Board on November 19, 2019. These projects are referred herein as the "Restoration Projects."
2.6 Mitigation Project. Valley District has independently committed to providing improvements to the existing Hidden Valley Ponds ("Mitigation Project"), within the Hidden Valley Wildlife Area, for mitigation purposes to offset impacts from proposed water recharge maintenance activities at the Waterman Basins, located in the City of San Bernardino, and to the Cactus Basins, located in the City of Rialto. The Mitigation Project is considered as a separate project from the Restoration Projects.
2.7 Riverside owns and operates its Riverside Regional Water Quality Control Plant, a 46-million gallons per day ("MGD") sewer treatment plant, which discharges high-quality recycled water into the Santa Ana River (as defined below, the "RWQCP").
2.8 The RHPWP is an integrated regional recycled water pipeline that is proposed by the parties to deliver tertiary treated recycled water originating from the RWQCP to the Restoration Projects located at select tributaries along the Santa Ana River within the City of Riverside, as well as to landscape irrigation customers located within the City of Riverside.
Exhibit 1, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, depicts the RHPWP extent as well as the planned delivery locations to the River Alliance Restoration Projects.
2.8.1 The RHPWP has been divided into a West Branch Project and an East Branch Project. The West Branch Project originates at the RWQCP and traverses west along Jurupa Avenue to deliver recycled water to City of Riverside landscape irrigation customers as well as to the River Alliance Restoration Project sites at Hole Creek, and Hidden Valley Creek, and the Valley District Mitigation Project at Hidden Valley Wildlife Area. Based on the preliminary design report completed by the City of Riverside, the West Branch Project is anticipated to cost approximately $25,500,000. The costs will be divided proportionally based on the facilities used to convey water to each site.
2.8.2 The East Branch Project would originate at the ROCP and traverse east along Jurupa Avenue to deliver recycled water to City of Riverside landscape rrigation customers as well as to the River Alliance Restoration Project sites at Anza Creek and Old Ranch Creek.
Recycled water will also be delivered to Tequesquite Arroyo, which is a separate project from the Restoration Projects ("Tequesquite Project") but was funded previously by Valley District and Western Municipal Water District for habitat benefits. The Tequesquite Project was temporarily improved under a separate mitigation effort related to the Santa Ana River Water Right permits held by Valley District and Western Municipal Water District. However, the site lacks a permanent supply of water and funding for long-term management, thus reducing its overall habitat benefits and the long-term sustainability of quality habitat for aquatic species. Delivering recycled water to the Tequesquite Project would add value to the overall restoration efforts of the River Alliance by improving the overall baseline condition for species and habitats that are integral to the conservation strategy associated with the HCP. The City of Riverside is preparing a preliminary design report for the East Branch Project.
01376.00079\7218773.3 2
2.8.3 Due to Valley District's desire to pursue restoration efforts at the Hidden Valley Creek Restoration Project site first, the Parties have agreed to move forward with the design efforts associated with the West Branch before completing the design of the East Branch.
2.9 The City of Riverside has an agreement with Western Municipal Water District dated November 20, 1968, obligating Riverside to discharge 15,250 acre-feet of effluent annually in the vicinity of Riverside Narrows. This discharge obligation supports the physical solution in the case of Orange County Water District v. City of Chino, et al., Orange County Superior Court Case No. 117628, also known as the Prado Settlement. If Riverside delivers more effluent than is required under this agreement, Riverside may in any given year reduce its adjusted contribution by the amount of such excess deliveries, but in no event shall Riverside's adjusted contribution be less than 13,420 acre-feet annually ("afa"). However, should the minimum obligation under the Prado Settlement be lowered to 34,000 acre-feet, then the amount of 13,420 shall be reduced to 12,420 afa.
2.10 In 2006, Riverside filed Wastewater Change Petition WW-0045 with the State Water Resources Control Board (the "Board") seeking to change the place of use and purpose of use of a portion of the effluent discharged from the RWQCP. Initially, Riverside sought to remove all flows above the 15,250 acre-feet of effluent volume committed to Western Municipal Water District. Instead, Riverside committed to discharging a minimum of 25,000 afa. The flows in excess of the 15,250 acre-feet of effluent were intended to offset any impacts to Santa Ana sucker potentially caused from removal of the discharge. The Board approved Wastewater Change Petition WW-0045 in 2008, with the obligation that Riverside would discharge a minimum of 25,000 afa.
2.10.1 After the Board's 2008 approval of Wastewater Change Petition WW-0045, incoming flows to the RWQCP began diminishing because of economic changes and a reduction in water use resulting from state-wide drought restrictions. To date, Riverside finds itself with minimal flows in excess of its 25,000 afa commitment, and desires to revise this commitment to enable the efficient use of recycled water for municipal uses as well as to support the environment and species residing within the river ecosystem by focusing discharge at strategic locations higher in the watershed
2.11 Riverside plans to submit a wastewater change petition pursuant to Water Code section 1211. The planned revision proposes to continue discharging effluent as described in its 1968 discharge agreement with Western. However, the value of these discharges would be maximized by delivering the effluent to Hole Creek, and Hidden Valley Creek, and Hidden Valley Wetlands, thus improving habitat while also meeting the discharge agreement with Western.
Riverside also proposes to enter into an agreement with Valley District on behalf of the River Alliance, to repurpose approximately 5,000 afa that was originally committed to the Santa Ana River as part of the 25,000 afa total obligated in the WW-0045 agreement with the State Board.
The recycled water would be carried via pipeline and redistributed into newly restored tributaries which will convey the water to the Santa Ana River while also creating and sustaining habitat. The tributaries are named in Section 2.8.2 describing the East Branch. Riverside will be submitting a wastewater change petition prior to constructing the RHPWP and will not begin construction until the wastewater change petition is approved. Riverside assumes that the recycled water delivered to the Hidden Valley Wildlife area following approval of the new wastewater water change petition 01376.00079\7218773.3 3
will count towards meeting its 1968 discharge commitment. However, should these flows be identified at a later time to not count towards this discharge commitment, then Riverside would explore committing a portion of its available recycled water derived from the wastewater change petition through an exchange agreement with Valley District.
2.12 The Parties plan to progress on the RHPWP by evaluating the project under California Environmental Quality Act guidelines and by completing engineering design of the West Branch Project by entering into this cost sharing agreement. The preliminary design report for the West Branch of the RHPWP evaluated the project's capital and operations and maintenance components to identify each partner's proportional share of the project, which was used to determine the financial contributions within this Agreement.
2.13 The Parties anticipate future agreements will be prepared and considered related to design, construction, operation, maintenance, and water supply for the RHPWP.

Re: Scope of Work and Cost Estimate to Provide Modeling Services for the Santa Ana River Sustainable Parks and Tributaries Water Reuse Project
Dear Chris:
Per your 7-Oct-22 email request, Geoscience Support Services, Inc. (Geoscience) has prepared this scope of work and cost proposal to provide modeling services for San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District), Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), and Environmental Science Associates (ESA) to support the Santa Ana River Sustainable Parks and Tributaries Water Reuse Project. This project will provide a portion of treated wastewater from the City of Riverside's Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) to Riverside streams (habitat), parks, and other recreation areas. Since this project will involve the surface discharge of treated wastewater, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit will be required. The project was modeled as part of the analysis for the Upper Santa Ana River Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Integrated Santa Ana River Model (Integrated Model), and the Santa Ana River Basin Monitoring Program Task Force Waste Load Allocation Model (WLAM) update, but changes in proposed project discharge locations and volumes have occurred after these initial modeling efforts.
Therefore, updated model runs may be necessary to demonstrate that the proposed project will not degrade receiving waters. Such analysis would support the approval of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), approval of the 1211 Wastewater Change of Use Petition, and future NPDES permitting from the Regional Board, while staying consistent with the Upper Santa Ana River HCP.
The following sections discuss the proposed scope of work, schedule, and cost estimate.
Scope of Work
For the purpose of this project, the following tasks are proposed.

Scope of Work and Cost Estimate to Provide Modeling Services for the Santa Ana River Sustainable Parks and Tributaries Water Reuse Project 31-Oct-22 • Task 1- Identify a Path Forward that Updates the Prior Modeling Work to Reflect the Current Project Description
• Task 2 - Run Predictive Model Runs Utilizing the WLAM and the Integrated Model • Task 3 - Prepare Draft and Final Technical Memorandum • Task 4 - Project Management and Meeting Attendance
Task 1: Identify a Path Forward that Updates the Prior Modeling Work to Reflect the Current Project Description
Geoscience will review the previous WLAM and Integrated Model reports and evaluate assumptions from prior model runs. These modeling reports include:
• Santa Ana River Waste Load Allocation Model Update - Summary Report, Dated June 19, 2020 • Santa Ana River Waste Load Allocation Model Update - Supplemental Report, Dated September 21, 2021
• Upper Santa Ana River Integrated Model - Technical Memorandum No. 4: Major Assumptions of Predictive Scenarios, Dated February 8, 2019
• Upper Santa Ana River Integrated Model - Summary Report, Dated April 29, 2020 Specifically, Geoscience will review the prior modeling assumptions for WLAM Scenarios C, E, and F, and Integrated Model Scenario 2, which included simulation of the Sustainable Parks and Tributaries Water Reuse Project. After reviewing the prior model runs, Geoscience will work with Valley District, RPU, and ESA to revise scenario assumptions to reflect the most current project descriptions.
Once the revised assumptions are developed and confirmed, Geoscience will re-run the WLAM and the Integrated Model to update modeling results, as described below in Task 2.
Task 2: Run Predictive Model Runs Utilizing the WLAM and the Integrated Model Task 2.1: Perform Three WLAM Scenario Runs
The following table shows the major assumptions for prior WLAM Scenarios C, E, and F. Once all the major and detailed assumptions are reviewed and revised under Task 1, Geoscience will re-run these three scenarios using the WLAM and analyze the modeling results to evaluate the surface flow discharge and concentrations for total dissolved solids (TDS) and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), specifically in Reach 2 and Reach 3 of the Santa Ana River (SAR). The new modeling results will be compared to the prior approved WLAM modeling results for TDS and TIN concentrations, and changes will be summarized in the Draft and Final Technical Memorandum (Task 3).

Task 2.2: Perform One Integrated Model Scenario Run
In support of proposed HCP Covered Activities, several dozen model runs were made using the Integrated Model with varying assumptions and selected projects. After reviewing and revising the assumptions for the Sustainable Parks and Tributaries Water Reuse Project under Task 1, Geoscience will select the most appropriate predictive scenario from the previous Integrated Model analysis and re-run that scenario with the new assumptions. Model-simulated water levels, streamflow, and streambed percolation will be analyzed. These new modeling results will be compared to prior Integrated Model results and changes will be summarized in the Draft and Final Technical Memorandum (Task 3).
Task 2.3 (Optional): Perform Additional Two WLAM Scenario Runs If the Team identifies the results from Task 2.1 and Task 2.2 to be problematic for the project and/or HCP effort, two additional WLAM predictive scenarios may be run under optional Task 2.3. This includes the development of new scenario assumptions, model input file preparation, and analysis of model results for surface flow discharge and TDS and TIN concentrations.
Task 2.4 (Optional): Perform Additional Two Integrated Model Scenario Runs Similar to optional Task 2.3, optional Task 2.4 involves running two additional predictive scenarios using the Integrated Model, if requested by the Team. This includes development of new scenario assumptions, model input file preparation, and analysis of model results for water level change, streamflow, and water budgets.
Task 3: Prepare Draft and Final Technical Memorandum
Geoscience will prepare a draft technical memorandum summarizing all work conducted for this study.
This technical memorandum will include discussion of the modeling approach and tools, model description, assumptions, and modeling results with accompanying figures and tables.
